Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

I just changed my face, why did I blame myself for all the faults?

Jia Amnesty was a little stunned by this change, and asked back with an unbelievable expression:

"Mother, second brother, why did you suddenly say that it was because I offended people that so many things happened in the mansion?"

"If it wasn't for you, it seems that no one else in our mansion would have the opportunity to offend anyone, so that they would target our Rongguo mansion like this?" Jia Mu said that she felt that this was the case.

Seeing that both Jia Mu and Jia Zheng looked like it was because of you that our Jia family was so unlucky. You really looked like you have brought misery to us. Jia Amnesty felt a little embarrassed and retorted:

"Mother, you think highly of me, don't you? If I have the ability to offend such a big man who can play both in the palace and the officialdom, your son and I can still stay here, I'm afraid I won't know how to die Now, there is no chance to talk to you here!"

Although he didn't want to admit it, but Jia She had no ability and stayed in the mansion all the time, even if he wanted to offend anyone, it was very unlikely.

Jia Zheng has always looked down on his cowardly elder brother. If he hadn't taken advantage of his age, the title of Rongguo Mansion would probably be his own. Now he even lost his father's official position for him. This eldest brother who inherited the title always has a feeling of resentment in his heart, why is it that the second wife is the only one who has an accident, and the first wife has nothing to do with it?

"Brother, who are you talking about, who would target our Rongguo Mansion like this?"

Although he didn't know who was targeting the mansion, if he couldn't find this person, Jia Zheng would rather blame Jia She for everything than admit that what happened recently was caused by the second wife's bad luck and his own negligence.

In this way, Jia Zheng can feel more comfortable in his heart. When facing other people looking at him strangely, there is still someone to complain about, and he can also raise his head in front of his mother and Jia Amnesty.

Seeing the way Jia Zheng was looking at him, Jia Amnesty originally wanted to guess that the Holy Majesty wanted to clear up the four kings and eight princes, and that the Rongguo Mansion was just one of them suspected that he was talking to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. Keep your mouth shut.

My mother has always been on the side of the second room. If I dare to say these things today, if something happens, my mother and second brother will definitely be the first to push me out as a scapegoat!

Jia Amnesty didn't want to sacrifice himself for the sake of Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, so he just bit back and said:

"I don't go out often. It must be that your second wife offended someone, which is why people are so targeted. You should think about who you offended! Before, the empress was in the palace, and the second brother you are an official For so many years, if you hadn't offended someone, how could others target your second wife?

You must know that it is your second wife who is involved in the accident now. Who knows if that person will target the eldest wife in the future? Our eldest wife is innocent. If your second wife is implicated, I don't agree. "

Because Jia Zheng had too many unlucky things recently, seeing what Jia She said, he said very angrily:

"Brother, what do you mean by saying that? I have been walking upright and sitting upright, but I have never done anything wrong. The empress worked hard for the house even more in the palace. It is too much for you to say that about our second room. Already!"

Seeing Jia Zheng's angry appearance, Jia Amnesty retorted very calmly:

"Hmph, if you don't want others to know, unless you don't do anything about it, I can see clearly what your second wife is like."

Mother Jia watched as Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty quarreled. Both of them had a reasonable point. As for the specific reason, no one knew, but Mother Jia still favored Jia Zheng and said:

"Okay, you two are so old, what are you talking about, now the key is to find someone to deal with us, otherwise who knows what others will do to Rongguo Mansion in the future! "

Jia Zheng glared at Jia She, and then reluctantly shut up. Jia She shrugged indifferently, as long as he didn't pour dirty water on himself and Da Fang, he wouldn't bother to care about Jia Zheng's attitude.

He said he wanted to find out who was secretly dealing with the Rongguo Mansion, but there was no clue at all, and the three of them, Jia Mu and Jia Zheng, had nothing to do for the time being.

Rongguo Mansion is such that Jia Mu and the others are suspicious of people they know or not, anyone who is capable of dealing with Rongguo Mansion, but unfortunately they have not found a more suitable candidate, so they can only leave reluctantly.

In the palace, the memorial is currently being approved. When I saw the paper about the follow-up of the case in Jiangxi, I asked now:

"That Jia Zheng from the Rongguo Mansion should have returned to Beijing, right?"

The chief eunuch stepped forward and replied, "According to the report from the people below, Jia Zheng returned to Beijing yesterday."

"Well, the Jia family still owes the state treasury several 10 taels of silver. Originally, they wanted to rob the Rongguo Mansion to fill the empty treasury, but they didn't expect to be one step ahead of the thieves who came from nowhere." Today said with a bit of regret. .

The chief eunuch also knew a little about the Holy Majesty's plan to attack those nobles. Seeing that the Holy Majesty was sorry, he said:

"Even if this Rongguo Mansion has been robbed once, it still has a bit of a foundation. If it is stolen, it can be supplemented. Even if the Rongguo Mansion has no money, the other houses have a lot of money."

The Holy Majesty also thought so in his heart. Cleaning up the moths in these countries will at least make the policies he implemented more smoothly.

"What happened to Wang Ziteng's investigation? Did you find any evidence?"

"The investigation is almost complete, and the evidence is still on the way, but Wang Ziteng's charges can indeed be settled, but I don't know what you plan to do with him, Majesty."

In fact, Wang Ziteng has long been suspected of being involved in the sea cucumber case, embezzling and misappropriating military expenses. Now that it has been investigated this time, there is no need to keep Wang Ziteng.

"Well, I don't want to see Wang Ziteng come back to the capital again, so you should deal with him not far from the capital!"

"Yes, the slave is leading the order." The chief eunuch said and went out to make arrangements.

Today, he took a sip of the tea on the table, and made some calculations in his heart. After Wang Ziteng was dealt with this time, basically none of the so-called four families of Jinling, Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue, had the ability to deal with it. people.

At that time, I will start with them, and kill the chickens to make an example of the monkeys, so that those who secretly make small calculations and disobey themselves will see that this is the fate of daring to go against their own will.

Wouldn't it be a pity if there were no audience for this big show.

After Jia Zheng returned to the mansion for a few days, it was already the time of Chinese New Year. This year, the masters of Rongguo Mansion had a very depressing New Year's Eve. Even if it was New Year's Eve, everyone didn't seem to be very happy.

On the other hand, young children like Heng An, Jia Zong, and Jia Lan, who can finally have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, had a great time playing in the snow.

After Li Mo left his yard, he tried his best to be like Jia Mu and the others, and his face was not very happy, so as not to let Jia Mu and the others say that they did not take the honor and disgrace of Rongguo Mansion to heart, and they were still happy at this time.

But Li Mo was very happy in his heart. Seeing them frowning every day, the wrinkles on the faces of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang had increased a lot during this time, as if they were ten years older.

When Li Mo and Mrs. Wang stood together, compared with Li Mo's still very young face, Mrs. Wang seemed to be an old man in her 50s.

Just from the faces of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, it can be seen that they have had a very bad time during this period of time.

After Jia Zheng returned to the mansion, except for Jia's mother calling someone to invite him over, otherwise he squatted in his study every day and never came out, and he didn't even step out of the gate of Rongguo Mansion, for fear that others would laugh at him.

There is still no trace of Jia Baoyu's psychic treasure, and people are still stupid. When Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang saw Jia Baoyu like this, they felt as if someone had dug out a piece of flesh.

Jia's mother can't bear such stimulation anymore, because the medicine she drank is not very effective, and Jia's mother can only lie in bed for most of the day.

Even though Li Mo and the others came to pay her respects in the morning, they spent most of their time in her bedroom to see Mother Jia, and came out soon.

As for Mrs. Wang, every time she sees Jia Baoyu, she thinks of her eldest son who died young, Yuan Chun who died of illness in the palace, and the unreliable Jia Zheng. I can't stand it anymore.

That's it, Mrs. Wang only visited Jia Baoyu every few days, just asked Xue Baochai to take good care of him, and asked her to tell her about Jia Baoyu's situation every day.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, everyone was so depressed that after the New Year's Eve dinner together, they went back to their own yards.

After Li Mo brought Hengan and the others back to his yard, he asked the kitchen to give them the tonic soup he had made earlier in the morning, and then let them go back to the outer yard to rest.

When Heng An and Jia Zong were six years old, Li Mo had someone clean up a yard in the outer courtyard and asked them to move there.

This is also more convenient for them to go to the master to study. When the knowledge is occasionally free, Li Mo will let them come over to greet him and see how their lives are going.
