Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Seeing Jia Baoyu sitting there dumbfounded, it was obvious that he could not be counted on at all.

Jia Amnesty could only sit down with Jia Zheng and Jia Lian and slowly discuss what to do next.

Jia She said to the other two people in a dejected tone:

"Suddenly such a big disaster happened in the mansion, what do you think we should do in the future?"

Because Jia Zheng had heard the list of various crimes against the Rongguo Mansion in the imperial decree, and now even the Rongguo Mansion has been confiscated, it can be said that he has completely eliminated the possibility of him entering the officialdom again.

Seeing what Jia Amnesty said, Jia Zheng said in a bad tone:

"Now we are already prisoners, what else can we do besides letting the Holy Majesty tell us?"

It is not a joke to say that the house is stolen. As the meat on the chopping board, people can cut it however they want. There is no way to think about it!

Although Jia Zheng's tone was not very good, what he said was true, Jia Amnesty and the others looked even more ugly after hearing this.

Jia Zheng was still unwilling to be a prisoner in the future and could no longer be an official, so he said in a complaining tone:

"If you hadn't violated the court's regulations and got caught, our Rongguo Mansion wouldn't have been ransacked. You also brought innocent people like us into prison with you. How can you reflect on yourself? Meaning nothing?"

When Jia Amnesty heard these words from Jia Zheng, his heart also became angry. If he and the old lady hadn't insisted on standing in line, the mansion would definitely be fine now. How could the house be ransacked!

Now he is still blaming Da Fang for the ransacking of the house, Jia Amnesty does not want to endure it like this, and said a little angrily:

"It seems that your second wife should be blamed for the ransacking of the house in the mansion. Who knows what Yuan Chun did in the palace, and he died for no apparent reason, and your daughter-in-law was not responsible for many things in the mansion?

There is also the matter of the Wang family. Your second room is hiding the things that the old lady and I did. Don’t think that I don’t know anything. If it weren’t for you, there must be nothing in our house. How could you be so troubled by you today? The fate of copying the house?

It's fine if I don't blame you guys, second brother, you actually dare to blame us in turn, hum, don't you all play me for a fool, think I don't know what you guys did? "

When Jia Zheng saw that Jia She vaguely mentioned the unspeakable things that the second room and the old lady had done these years, he felt a little guilty, and retorted with a little confidence:

"I don't know what you are talking about, brother. Anyway, the imperial decree clearly lists the crimes committed by your elder brother. This is always the truth. I didn't wrong you!"

Thinking of the series of crimes listed in the imperial decree, Jia Amnesty himself has not made any fatal mistakes, but because as the heir to the title of Rongguo Mansion, he not only does not want to make progress, but is addicted to beauty, which is not good for the supervision of the entire Rongguo Mansion. That's why the people in Rongguo Mansion committed so many crimes, and they also bear joint responsibility for the mistakes made by the people in Rongguo Mansion.

As for the mistakes made by other people in Dafang, such as Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, it is very obvious. The rest of the people, such as Li Mo, Hengan, Jia Zong, etc., did nothing and were purely implicated.

Jia Amnesty couldn't deny these things, but Jia Zheng's crimes committed by the second room were obviously more serious than those committed by the eldest room. Jia Amnesty said in a not-so-good tone:

"The main reason why the house was ransacked was not caused by you. Even if our eldest brother made some mistakes, it was just a small matter and did not affect the overall situation. How could the Holy One have time to pay attention to our trivial matters? It's because you provoked me." Your Majesty didn't know it, that's why our mansion suffered such a catastrophe!"

Seeing his father and second uncle talking, Jia Lian started arguing. Regarding the mistakes he made, Jia Lian knew that he was wrong, but he never thought that his daughter-in-law would be so courageous that she even sued for life. Dare to stick.

After all these incidents, Jia Lian realized how courageous the person next to him was. For Mrs. Wang, who pushed his wife away, Jia Lian also became a little disgusted with her in his heart. Want to find something for Dafang?

Now it's all over, everyone is done with one piece, no matter what the second wife's schemes are, they are also in vain, is this a kind of retribution!

Now Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng still have the strength to quarrel, which can be regarded as a skill. I saw the two of them shivering from the cold before, and it seemed that they were going to die soon. I didn't expect to recover. Fast.

It's a pity that when they were hungry for a long time and there was no food delivered, they didn't have the energy to continue arguing. When they asked clearly that they would have something to eat in the evening, they all automatically shut up. It's better to save some energy Wait until dinner is delivered!

The money on Jia Lian's body was almost spent in exchange for a few ragged padded jackets, and the little leftover should be saved for later urgent needs.

They still don't know how long they will stay in prison in the future, so they dare not spend that little money now.

The little money left on Jia Lian's body could not be spent. Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had only a single piece of clothing. They were arrested by the officers and soldiers before they could bring anything with them. They also had nothing on them, let alone valuable items. up.

As for Jia Baoyu, who was still there and hadn't recovered much, he was carrying the psychic jade and some jade purses with him, but unfortunately he was captured by those officers and soldiers who were curious about the psychic jade when he ransacked his house. Now, apart from the clothes he was wearing, he couldn't take out any valuables.

Since everyone can't get anything to exchange for food, they can only wait in the cold cell, especially when a few people didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and after being tossed for so long, they didn't even have lunch. No more, I have to stay up until night!

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were covering their stomachs with their hands. They were already cramping with hunger, and they were really indescribably uncomfortable. Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu were also not feeling well now.

Finally, Jia Lian couldn't take it anymore, so he took out a dime from the little silver left in his bosom, and talked to the jailer in a good voice for a long time, before he exchanged the little silver for two hard pancakes.

After Jia Lian sent away the jailer with a face that was about to drop icicles, Jia Lian looked at the two pancakes in his hand, and it was not easy for the four of them to share, anyway, they were not enough to eat.

After Jia Lian smashed the pancakes in half, each of them divided them into half a small piece, and swallowed the snarky pancake crumbs in his mouth in the dirty water of the prison.

Although the little pancakes made them feel very uncomfortable for those who have never eaten these things, but now there is only so much, and they are so hungry that even if they see the stones on the roadside, they want to bite a few bites, not to mention It's just unpalatable pancakes!

When the jailers brought all the rotten porridge and pancakes in the evening, Jia Amnesty and the others had no energy to argue with those people, nor did they have the confidence to argue with those who were in charge of them.

Just asking about the taste in the food, Jia She and the others felt that they couldn't eat it, but they were so hungry, and they didn't have money to open a small stove, so they could only close their eyes and swallow the food. .

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Lian could bear it, but when did Jia Baoyu, who was always favored by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, suffer so much!

He didn't even eat the food that had been left for a long time, let alone the food that had gone rotten. Jia Baoyu just forced himself to drink some of the dirty water with the dust and concrete floating in it. Don't even touch it.

Seeing Jia Baoyu like this, Jia Amnesty frowned, and just pretended he hadn't seen it. Jia Lian tried to comfort him, but Jia Baoyu didn't appreciate it. When Jia Lian's words fell on deaf ears, he was unwilling to eat those things in his mouth. Food that should have been thrown away long ago in his eyes.

Jia Zheng couldn't stand Jia Baoyu's hypocritical appearance, and said sharply:

"Why are you still dawdling, do you want to starve yourself to death if you don't eat?"

Jia Baoyu always saw Jia Zheng like a mouse seeing a cat, but he was very scared. Hearing that Jia Zheng asked him to eat the rotten food, the boss Jia Baoyu said unwillingly:

"The food is rotten. I don't eat it. I will have diarrhea and feel uncomfortable after eating it."

"If you really don't want to eat, you want to starve yourself to death, right?" Jia Zheng said with a look of resentment.

Jia Baoyu twitched his mouth, not daring to choke with Jia Zheng, but he was also unwilling to eat the food in front of him.

Jia Zheng looked at himself, the only remaining legitimate son, and knew that he had been spoiled by his mother and Mrs. Wang long ago, so he didn't bother to care about him.

Thinking, when he is hungry, he will eat it by himself.

At night, almost everyone in Rongguo Mansion didn't sleep well. There wasn't even a quilt in the prison. It was so cold in this cold winter that people tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep even if they wanted to.

When the next day dawned, almost all the people in Rongguo Mansion had thick dark circles on their faces, which showed that it wasn't just one person who didn't sleep well.
