Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

The weight of this thing is nothing to Li Mo who has practiced the nameless technique for so many years. He piled up all the things together, and Li Mo sat down on the breakfast table, and said:

"No need, these things look like a lot, but they don't really weigh much. I can take them away by myself, so I don't need to bother them."

Seeing that Li Mo seemed to have made up her mind, Li Wan had no choice but to give up. If she couldn't take it later, she would naturally ask Xue's servants to help.

Li Mo seized the time, and after finishing his breakfast very quickly, he and Li Wan walked to the gate of Mrs. Xue's courtyard, informed the guards at the gate, and then entered the house.

Mrs. Xue, Xue Baochai, and Jia Jia Baoyu were already sitting in the main hall and waiting. Li Mo, Li Wan and the others went in, and after greeting each other, Li Mo asked:

"We are not late, is there enough time?"

Now that everyone has met and heard what Li Mo said, Mrs. Xue will naturally not avoid seeing her because of her own discomfort like last time, and Xue Baochai will handle these matters on her behalf.

Mrs. Xue's complexion is very good today, she can't tell that she still needs to be bedridden yesterday, she said with a smile:

"It's been a long time since I saw you, Mrs. Xue, and now I'm used to living in Xue's house. If you need anything, just tell Baochai. Just treat it as your own home here. It's only a quarter of an hour now (five in the morning) It’s around one o’clock), it’s still not light outside, so don’t worry if you’re not late!”

Li Mo said very politely:

"I've been here for a few days, and I've always heard that Mrs. Xue is recovering from illness, so it's not good to disturb your peace. We haven't thanked your Xue family for taking us in for the past few days. We are all fine, there is nothing we are not used to, um, it’s good that we are not late, I also want to see our master sooner!"

Mrs. Xue also wanted to see Xue Pan earlier, and said in agreement:

"Isn't it? I also want to see how Pan'er is doing in prison. I haven't seen him for so many days, but it makes me wonder! Presumably the old man and the others are the same as Pan'er in prison. The days are not easy, the weather is so cold, I don't know if they are hungry or not?"

Seeing Mrs. Xue's worried look, Li Mo nodded in agreement and said:

"Isn't it? Our Eldest Master and Lian'er are all in prison. It's not certain whether we can see each other in the future. How can people not worry about it and worry about it!"

After a few people talked for a while, after the steward of the Xue family came to report that the carriage was ready and ready to go, Li Mo, Mrs. Xue, and Xue Baochai went out together, got into two carriages of the Xue family, and went Drive towards the prison where the capital city government detains the prisoners.

In the carriage, Li Wan sat with Li Mo in the carriage behind, and even Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai came together, planning to let Li Wan and Jia Baoyu wait outside the prison when they arrived at the place. .

As the carriage moved forward, Li Mo lifted the curtains and looked out at the street. It was pitch black outside, and where there was a little bit of light was also a quiet scene of cold winter and bleak wind.

In the carriage, Li Mo and Li Wan were both silent, each thinking about their own concerns and not in the mood to speak.

Because only the father-in-law and mother-in-law that Li Wan hated lived in the prison, Li Wan wished that they would never come back, lest he have to serve them, if it wasn't because Jia Zhu was kind to Li Wan during his lifetime, otherwise Mrs. Wang kept finding excuses to torment her for many years, and Li Wan couldn't guarantee that she would do anything.

At this time, even if she was going to the prison, she didn't have much thought about Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Instead, she thought that after Li Mo and the others entered the prison, she would go to the government to find out when her dowry would be. able to bring it back.

Now Li Wan and Jia Lan are also living in Xue's house penniless, and they only have a little bit of jewelry that they secretly hid, which is not of much use, and it would be better to get back her dowry as soon as possible.

All the way to the prison in silence, when Li Mo, Mrs. Xue, and Xue Baochai got off the carriage together, the sky was already slightly bright.

After the stewards of the Xue family communicated with the jailers, because the jailers once again emphasized the need to hurry up and not stay in the prison for too long, they were afraid that the higher authorities would blame them for staying in the prison for too long. It's not easy to explain.

Because of the time requirement of the jailers, it was impossible for Li Mo and the others to visit Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Wang, and Xue Pan one by one.

The three of them stood aside and discussed with each other. Li Mo went to visit Jia She and the others alone, while Mrs. Xue and Xue Baochai went to visit Xue Pan first, and then went to Mrs. Wang and the others after they were done.

After the three of them made an agreement, Li Mo handed over the things that Li Wan had prepared for Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng to Mrs. Xue and the others. When they went to visit Mrs. Wang, he gave them the things.

But Xue Baochai and the others put the things they had prepared for Jia Zheng with Li Mo, and when Li Mo went to visit Jia Amnesty, they would bring the things to Jia Zheng.

After it was decided, after the people from the Xue family gave some favors to the guards, under the leadership of the guards, Li Mo and Mrs. Xue split into two ways to visit the people who were still in the prison.

After Li Mo and Xue Baochai separated, with two or three big bundles hanging on their bodies and small bundles in their hands, they followed the jailer leading the way very steadily.

Li Mo's appearance is very eye-catching in the prison. If it weren't for the guards following her and the prison railings,

Those prisoners who have lived in the prison for so long and have no oil or water are probably not just staring at Li Mo's baggage with green eyes, wishing to come forward to snatch it, and open it to see if there is anything good up.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the jailer suddenly stopped and said:

"The cell in front is the one where Jia She and the others are locked up. You can go there directly and remember to come out quickly within the stipulated time!"

Because there was a wall blocking it, Li Mo couldn't see clearly whether Jia She and the others were in that cell, but since the jailer had already said so, there should be nothing wrong.

Li Mo took out a purse prepared in advance from his arms, which contained some broken silver, and secretly handed it to the jailer. After seeing that the other party took it, he said:

"I'm sorry to trouble Brother Jailer this time, it's my heart, I hope you can take care of my master in the future!"

The jailer didn't expect that besides his boss' share of money, he would also get a piece of extra money for nothing. He weighed his heavy purse, and he probably had at least two or three taels of money in it. He was very satisfied on the surface. said:

"Don't worry, since you've realized it, I'll let a few brothers take special care of your master in the future."

Hearing what he said, Li Mo was very grateful and took out a piece of sauced meat bought yesterday and a few meatloaf from his bag, wrapped it in oil paper and stuffed it into the jailer's hands, saying:

"That's really a big thank you, Brother Jailer. These foods are part of my heart. You can take them back and taste them!"

The jailer held the still warm food, and was a little dazed. He didn't expect his words to make the lady so grateful. It seems that the lady married by Jia She who lived there was a good-hearted lady, and she wanted to take care of her. It's okay to take care of it in the future.

"Okay, then I'll accept it. You should hurry up and see your master. If you have anything to do, you can find us in front."

"Okay, thank you, brother jailer, you go slowly!"

After watching the jailer leave, Li Mo walked towards the cell pointed by the jailer.

Li Mo looked at some prisoners locked up on both sides of the prison, and saw that they were dressed in dirty and ragged clothes in winter, without any warmth retention. The prison may be due to water leakage or something, making people feel very humid, cold and gloomy .

Moreover, due to the lack of ventilation, the smell in this prison is really indescribable. Li Mo couldn't stand the smell, so he had to use unknown exercises to block his breathing and filter the air he breathed in.

Only then did I feel better. Unexpectedly, the environment where the male prisoners were held was worse than the cell where Li Mo and the others lived for a month. , How did these days pass.

Li Mo ignored the piercing gazes of the prisoners around him, walked straight forward for more than ten steps, turned a corner, and used his very good eyesight to carefully look into the cell in front.

I saw three people squatting on the ground with their heads bowed in that prison cell. In the damp cell, two of them were relatively close, with their backs to their backs. They probably wanted to use each other's body temperature to warm up in this cold cell. maintain body temperature.

Li Mo recognized one of the figures sitting on the ground in a state of embarrassment—it was Jia She, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. Can't help but say:

"My lord, I'm here to see you, are you all right?"
