The Forest of Red Mansions

Not to mention that Aunt Xue was so intimidated by her proposal that she almost fainted, even Xue Baochai herself said it happily and really wanted to do it, but she still didn't have the courage of a strong man to cut his wrists.

After all, a fool knows how to choose between a golden egg and a golden rooster that lays golden eggs.

Aunt Xue proposed to ask Mrs. Wang and her natal brother for help, trying to use Rongfu and Wang's family to frighten those evil wolves, but Xue Baochai still denied it. She knew the virtues of her own aunt and uncle very well, and she didn't believe them.

The family has declined, her elder brother is useless, and even half of the family business has been dispersed. What is left now is her last support, and there is no room for mistakes.

But before she could make up her mind, another disaster suddenly fell from the sky.

Recently, many things happened. First, Xue Pan went to jail, and then he begged his grandpa and grandma to find people everywhere. Then, the slaves under him rebelled and messed up the business, and the evil wolf clansman was staring at him, one after another. Xue Baochai was physically and mentally exhausted by coming one after another, so it was inevitable that he would be negligent for a while.

Who would have thought that this negligence would cause trouble, and the deadline was approaching, and the things purchased for the palace had not yet been processed!

Xue Baochai was so shocked that his brow was sweating, he hurriedly sent out all the people under him, and spent days and nights in the rescue. For other reasons, the quality of this batch of goods is quite poor, and there are many defective products among them. Take the materials of the clothes as an example, some of them are not even dyed evenly, and the patterns are also incomplete.

This kind of defective product, even the rich people would not bother to take a look at it, let alone the nobles in the palace?

In a few days, someone stabbed this matter to the Holy Majesty, and after being carefully checked, the Holy Majesty was furious.

However, considering that there are only Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai, the orphans and widowed mothers left in the Xue family, the family business is unattended, and it is understandable that the errands they received were negligent. But Shang's name was slapped, and they were ordered to pay a large amount of compensation.

This is even worse for the already crumbling Xue family. Not only are the clansmen becoming more angry and dissatisfied with the mother and daughter of the Xue family, but their methods are also becoming more violent, and the business rival is also desperately attacking the Xue family. Can't swallow it down.

There were wolves in front and tigers in back, and all of them had green eyes and wished they could swallow their mother and son alive. Xue Baochai couldn't hold on any longer, and finally decided to cut off her tail to survive.

The Xue family, a royal merchant with countless fortunes and industries, was left with only a stack of bank notes in the end, which is really embarrassing.

Aunt Xue couldn't bear the shock and fell ill. Xue Baochai shed tears silently all night while holding the box containing the silver bills.

Once again, she gritted her teeth and made up her mind, she wanted to outshine others!She wants to fly up the branches!at all costs!

At that time, she will definitely reproduce the glory of the Xue family, and even go to a higher level!

……

The Xue family has completely declined, and Mrs. Wang knew it very well. At first, she felt very heartbroken. After all, Xue Baochai was her preferred daughter-in-law. She had long regarded the Xue family's property as her own. The family has fallen, and it is no different from cutting her flesh with a knife.

But then she thought about it again, but she didn't care anymore, what a noble person her Baoyu is, in the future she will be crowned king and minister, how can she do business?It would be better if the property could be exchanged for silver, and Xue Pan was dead, and there was only one Xue Baochai left in the Xue family, no one was fighting, no one was robbing, if there was less, it would be less, she didn't care.

Mrs. Wang is very satisfied with the current situation of the Xue family, but she is not very satisfied with the fact that there have been too many changes in the Xue family recently. Fragrance, cultivating and cultivating feelings, but they don't know that disasters come from the sky in a family with nothing to do.

Jia Zheng was demoted!

"What? How could this be!"

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard it at first, their eyes turned black.

Jia Zheng said with humiliation and grief on his face: "My son doesn't know what I did wrong. For so many years, my son asked himself to work hard to share the worries of the Holy One. He wished he could die with all his might, but today the Holy One... the Holy One must be killed. The villain is deceived! But I don’t know which treacherous officials and thieves are so vicious and cruel to Zhongliang, hateful! Hateful!”

Lin Jinyao had a strange face. If Jia Zheng knew that the traitorous ministers and traitors he said were murdering loyal officials were the current fourth elder brother and the future cold-faced iron-blooded emperor, would he be scared to shit?

Lin Jinyao and Fourth Master did a good job in this matter, and it was actually very simple, even simpler than dealing with Xue Pan, but it was just a matter of little effort.

This Jia Zheng is only a mere fifth-rank official, and in the capital city, he can be regarded as a sesame official. It is really "not easy" to not move his ass for so many years, because although he reads a lot, he only knows how to memorize it by rote , I don’t know how to use what I have learned, not to mention the talent of governing the country and the world, even if I ask him to write a policy theory that makes people’s eyes shine.

Yu Yuanwailang has been squatting in this seat all these years, Jia Zheng has no chance to make big mistakes, but keeps making small mistakes. If the people above have no time to talk to him, and the people below don't want to offend him for the sake of the Rongfu, he would Should have been kicked down long ago.

Such a person with no talent, no morals, high self-esteem and self-confidence, the little braid caught a lot, and made a lot of enemies. After all, few people can stand his inexplicable self-confidence and pride. Fourth Master just hinted to others that Jia Zheng's merits and demerits in his position over the years have been brought to the attention of His Majesty.

Kangxi was a very capable emperor, and he had never looked down on those officials who were sitting on a vegetarian diet. As soon as he knew that there were such stupid "talents" under his command, he immediately blew his beard and stared at him, thinking that the salary for so many years was nothing He was blind, and without a word, he was fucked up, and the venomous Lord Kangxi couldn't bear the anger and scolded him in public, bluntly saying that he was a rare and rare idiot!

Jia Zheng was humiliated, and he felt that he had suffered great injustice. He shouted that this was a plot by treacherous officials and thieves to kill Zhongliang, and that some villains were jealous of him... only to choke the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and Kangxi for a long time.

Not everyone can be called "loyal and good", and not everyone is qualified to be killed by treacherous ministers and thieves!Besides, who would be jealous of you?Jealous of your stupidity?

However, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang also deeply believed that Jia Zheng was a great talent, and someone must have envied him to suffer such a disaster, so they burst into tears immediately.

"Who is this ungrateful person? What a black heart! My son is full of knowledge and talent, but now he is in such a state, what should I do!" Jia Mu wiped away her tears, stood up "bass", "No, I will go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager right now, and I must not let my son be wronged for nothing, let alone let the Holy Majesty tell Daqing to miss out on a true virtuous person!"

Lin Jinyao was a little confused.

What about the face?

In fact, Lin Jinyao wronged Jia's mother.

Perhaps Jia Zheng already knew what he was capable of, but he just refused to admit the reality and kept deceiving himself and others. After telling a lie a hundred times, it became the truth.

But Jia's mother really believes that her son is capable, because Jia Zheng has been reading very well since he was a child, and he is very good at learning things from books. Quoting the classics is straightforward, and at first glance he is a "cultural person", so Jia's mother has always believed that her youngest son is capable.

But she didn't know a truth, people who only know how to read, no matter how many books they read, it is useless.

Jia Zheng hoped that Jia's mother could go to the palace to "explain clearly", and hoped that the Holy Majesty would know his talent and return him to innocence, but Jia Amnesty quit. Hearing what Jia's mother said, he immediately jumped up.

"Mother, you can rest, I can feel the embarrassment on my face when I hear it! My good second brother is really capable, a person who has been a fifth-rank official for more than 20 years and has never taken a step forward. , isn’t this ability overwhelming! He is the only one who has searched all over the capital, and he is really admirable!”

"It's just that you are old and dim-sighted, so you think he is capable. Why are you jealous? Who would be jealous of such a stupid thing? Later, I will ask Mrs. Xing to send a big mirror to the second room. If you have nothing to do, take good care of yourself at home, and don’t look at your own virtues, which eyes are blurred by shit to envy you!"

Jia Zheng's face turned pale, and he stared at his elder brother with humiliation.

Jia She sneered, and said disdainfully: "What are you staring at? Am I wrong? You are an idiot! Tianzi No. [-] idiot! What if you are still not convinced? At least I dare to admit that I am stupid, do you dare? You are used to deceiving yourself You bastard! Your Majesty is wise enough to take you down. You still have the guts to complain? You have a really big face, bigger than my basin for washing your face. You are the best at brazenness. I admire you for this!"

Jia Zheng's breathing became short of breath, his eyes were as big as copper bells, wishing he could pounce on the person who humiliated him and bite him to death.

Jia Mu was also dizzy from Jia Amnesty's anger, and she stroked her chest repeatedly, "Shut up! Shut up!"

Jia She shrinks her neck habitually, but still clenched her teeth and said, "Shut up? I really want to shut up now, and our whole family will have to go underground to reunite tomorrow! Mother, you should be more careful, the old fool will treat you like a fool." That’s all for treasure, is it possible that you are still deceived by lard? Your Majesty’s golden words, how can you make your Majesty admit that you are blind or incompetent and have been deceived by others?”

"Let's not say that the Holy Majesty didn't wrong this idiot at all. If he took ten thousand steps back and said that even if he was wronged, he would have to bear it! Thunder, rain and dew are all your favor, and there is no reason to bargain with the Holy Majesty! Mother, don't blame me for speaking harshly, we The Jia family is already like this, and they are determined not to be able to bear the Holy Majesty's anger any longer, even if it is for the Jia family, mother, please rest!"

Jia Mu was so angry that she rolled her eyes, bluffing a group of people to pinch people in a hurry.

Lin Jinyao took an extra look at the uncle who was described as a bit wretched, and didn't think that this person was absurd, but he still had some self-knowledge, which was rare.

Jia Zheng's face was livid, and he raised his neck and said: "Brother, if you hate me, hate me, why humiliate me like this! Mother, you don't need to run around for your son. My son believes in the wisdom of the Holy One. Sooner or later, my son will be punished!" "After that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away in a dignified manner.

Jia She sneered and rolled his eyes.

Taking advantage of Jia's mother being angry and making the room into a mess, Lin Jinyao quietly winked at the maid beside her, Zhihua.

No one had ever noticed that a servant girl had quietly disappeared from the room.

Jia Zheng hurried to his study room full of humiliation, depression, and anger. He didn't want to hear two little maids chattering behind the door.

"Second Master Bao has been going to the family school very diligently recently. Do you know what's going on? Didn't he hate reading the most in the past? Why did he suddenly change?"

"What kind of modification? There is a saying that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change."

"Oh, don't talk about it, tell me what you know, I've been curious for a long time."

"What else could be the reason? It's just that there is something to attract Master Bao."

"WTF?"

"The late Grandma Rong in the East Mansion next door knows that she has a younger brother named Qin Zhong, who was born so charming and romantic, but he is very seductive."

"You mean, Second Master Bao did it for him..."

"You don't know what is the nature of Second Master Bao? He, he likes those clean and beautiful people the most. Then Qin Zhong fell into his eyes. I heard that Second Master Bao was with him in the family school. They have been flirting with each other for a long time, it seems that a few days ago, someone saw them cuddling together, kissing and touching their buttocks."

Jia Zheng burst into a rage.
