Chapter 143 The hairpin in the dowry 37

Although this glass lamp is not worth much money, it can be regarded as a token of love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu.Not to mention that he was hungry several times, even if he was not given food all the time and let him starve to death, Jia Baoyu would be happy with his usual idiocy.Hearing Jia Huan's proposal, he immediately regarded Jia Huan as the world's biggest villain.

Jia Huan knew what he meant when he stared at him, and said angrily: "Sister Lin is not dead! She is still alive and well, next time you see her, how many lamps do you want from her? We don't have any now." If you have enough to eat, you are really going to starve to death, why are you still guarding something that can’t eat or drink! Give it to me!” After saying that, he was going to grab it.

Jia Baoyu put his hands on his chest, hid the lamp tightly and said, "No matter what, don't exchange my lamp!"

How could Jia Huan do what he wished, he was going to pull it up!Jia Baoyu was so pampered that Jia Huan snatched the not-so-strong glass lamp, but he couldn't hold it securely, so the lamp fell to the ground and shattered!

They made such a big commotion, quarreling and throwing things, how could they not attract the jailers.

The two jailers even hid something when they saw them!After pushing and shoving several people for a long time, they picked up all the fragments of the lamp, because there were a few pieces of gold and silver inlaid on it for decoration.No matter how much Jia Baoyu begged, he refused to leave the fragments behind.

Those locked up here awaiting punishment may not be regarded as criminals in the true sense, but they must have fallen from then on and will never recover. Therefore, although the jailers did not beat and scold them every day, they were in a bad mood. Occasionally, no one cares about them a few times, let alone listen to their demands.

Jia Huan didn't catch his food, dropped the lamp again, and was pushed a few times by the jailer just now, scolding him for bad luck!

Jia Baoyu even lost his soul, thinking that the broken lamp was not a good omen.

Seeing his distraught look, Jia Huan said with aggravation: "I think Sister Lin doesn't want you anymore! Even if you are engaged, but our family has become like this, maybe you will be fined and sent to the army. I will miss you, and it’s been so many days since I saw you, and she didn’t even come to see you! And Sister Bao, you usually play so well, and she didn’t come to save you. It can be seen that our family really wants to It's over!" After saying that, he couldn't help crying.

At this time, a voice shouted softly: "Huan'er, don't talk nonsense!"

Jia Huan and Jia Baoyu were startled at the same time, it sounded like Baochai's voice!But how could she, a young lady, set foot in this kind of place again? Following the voice, a man dressed as a literati man was standing not far away. If she looked carefully, it was not Baochai!

There was a jailer beside her, and two extremely thin servants followed behind her. Upon closer inspection, she found that there were also two women, one was Lin Daiyu and the other was Xiaohong.

Lin Daiyu's eyes were swollen like peaches. After Jia Baoyu saw her, he couldn't take anything else into his eyes, and kept staring at her, whispering: "Sister Lin!" Lin Daiyu naturally did the same. .

Jia Huan and Jia Lan were also extremely happy. They were happy that after so many days, someone finally came to see them. Since Baochai could come to see them, maybe she wouldn't have to wait here to die.

This is not considered a serious prison, so it didn't take much effort. Xue Baochai didn't need to find someone, and it was easy to come in and take a look for a little money.

After Lin Daiyu returned to Xue's mansion, she saw that although Jia's mother had been taken to the mansion well, and the old lady's gray hair was completely white, the grandparents and grandchildren hugged and cried.

The old lady Jia said: "Yu'er, you have come back, I thought I would never see you again in my lifetime! I don't expect anything else now, I just hope that Baoyu can live well, and I don't ask for anything else." gone."

The old lady Jia talked with Aunt Xue Baochai for a while, and was very grateful to Xue Pan for helping her at this time. She knew very well that no relatives, friends or old friends came to see her these days, and she knew that Jia's family It's the end of the road.

Grandma Liu is about the same age as her and has experienced many things, so she carefully enlightened Mrs. Jia, persuading her to say that fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and that it may not be a bad thing in the future.Mrs. Jia seemed to be very convinced by her words, and she pulled Grandma Liu and refused to let her go.

Later, Lin Daiyu was really worried about Jia Baoyu, so she couldn't eat, and she just washed her face with tears every day.Xue Baochai happened to come in to see how they were doing, so she brought her along.

Xue Pan is an official of the court, but this kind of thing is not suitable for mixing, he sent someone to bring Jia Mu into Xue's house, and he was already risking a great risk of being played again.Being played once means that he has already been exposed by the emperor, but if he loses his sacred heart because of being played again and again by the Jia family, he will not be able to be an official.

The jailer who beat people before opened the door on Baoyu's side and said: "After so many days, I didn't expect anyone to come to see you. I thought that the Jia family, which is so famous in the capital, didn't hand over any of them. !" Because he just got a sum of money, he is in a good mood, which is quite different from the robber who just snatched something.

"go in!"

Lin Daiyu didn't care about being reserved, and hurried into the door to see how Jia Baoyu was doing: "Baoyu!"

Jia Huan and Jia Lan could only ignore the two of them, they came to Baochai obediently, one called "Sister Bao" and the other "Aunt Bao", Baochai saw that they were all dirty. The face, and the appearance that it has lost a lot of weight in just a few days, can't help but feel a little sad.

Xiaohong behind her was holding two baskets, and Baochai asked to bring one over and said, "You are all hungry, I brought some food from home, eat it while it's hot."

What she brought was nothing more than the simplest meals without soup to carry, such as roasted chicken, roasted goose and steamed buns, but Jia Huan and Jia Lan devoured them very sweetly. .”

The boy Jia Huan rolled his eyes so much that he choked, and said anxiously: "Sister Bao, we can only have a full meal if you come. I feel like I have never eaten roast chicken in my life! If you don't come, we will have another meal." Hungry!"

Baochai said: "Before I leave, I will give the jailers a good care, so that they will not take your food seriously in the future. Whenever there is a chance, someone will send something to you."

Only then did Jia Huan feel relieved.Xiaohong went to the jailer to open the door of the women's cell. She had heard the movement here, but she didn't really know it. She only knew that someone was coming.

When Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng saw that it was Baochai, they couldn't help crying.Mrs. Wang cried: "Is it Bao girl?!"

It is difficult to drink a sip of water here, and naturally there will be no supplies for people to wash and wash. The once-beaded ladies are already unkempt, and Baochai said: "Auntie, Sister Feng!" Yuanyang and Ping'er came to meet each other.Knowing that their situation would not be better than that of Baoyu Jiahuan, she hurriedly asked Xiaohong to take out the food she had brought for them to share.

Ping'er, Jin Chuan'er and Yuanyang waited for their master to eat first, even though their bellies were empty, Wang Xifeng said: "It's already this time, what's the difference between master and servant! If it weren't for you, our mother and son would have been taught by them long ago. Die! If you can get out of this ghost place, my good sister, I will never treat you as human beings again. You are all hungry, let’s eat!" Pinger Yuanyang and others felt heartbroken and sad when they heard her words, Everyone ate together as promised.

So while everyone was eating, Baochai asked them how they were doing. Fortunately, no one was sick so far, but they were just a little frightened.

When the house was ransacked, Madam Wang, Wang Xifeng and others didn't know why, and they were taken away by the looks of it.It wasn't until these days in this detention center that I occasionally heard a few words from the jailers and the others, that I realized that several of the men in the family had been imprisoned and locked up in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, awaiting conviction.

When I saw Baochai for a while, I had to inquire about their situation and how the Holy Majesty planned to convict them.

Baochai said: "As soon as I came back from the countryside, I came here directly when I heard about the matter in the house. As for the case of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it has not yet been closed. It will be open and fair, and my uncle and second brother will not be wronged. If there is any grievance, my brother will definitely not ignore it at that time, and will definitely report to the court to return their innocence."

Mrs. Wang is very worried, and she is afraid of openness and justice!The charges she vaguely heard were all committed by her family, and she had not been wronged. That is to say, the charges that were impeached were all real. "If the charges are true, can Pan'er think of a way?"

Baochai said lightly: "Please ask Auntie for blood. After all, my brother is an official in office. He should have avoided these matters, and the emperor knew that the two families were related, so he specially asked him to avoid this matter. If there is something really dirty about it, let alone I knew I couldn't do it." Mrs. Wang was extremely disappointed when she heard the words.

Wang Xifeng said: "It's not that my wife doesn't know that Brother Pan has done his best. He is only a young man, and he has only been an official for two or three years. What connections can he have? Our family used to have so many connections. , I don’t know too much about Princess Toffee, but until now something happened, all of them are broken, and I don’t even need one of them!”

Over the past few days, Wang Xifeng's dissatisfaction with Mrs. Wang has accumulated to a certain extent, but she is her own aunt and uncle and mother-in-law after all, so she has to retain some respect.But her behavior is extremely selfish, and she will not hide it, but it makes Wang Xifeng look down on her very much.

Wang Xifeng said: "Girl Bao, not to mention the eldest lady who was pampered and respected since she was a child, even her current status is a real golden branch and jade leaf. Being able to condescend to come to this kind of place to see us is enough to show how different the Xue family treats us. To put it bluntly, if we were in the mansion before, the place we are staying in now would not be mentioned in front of the girls, so as not to dirty their ears, let alone let her come here in person. Do we Wet, it’s impossible to drag others into the water! There is no one on the shore to help, and everyone can only drown together! Let me tell you, what crimes are the masters and the second masters? Don't go to any activities, as things have come to this point, even giving gifts to anyone won't work. If the Jia family can save one or two bloodlines, it can also be used as a warning to future generations."

Tanchun said: "Even though Second Sister-in-law's words are too sonorous, it is true."

Seeing that she just said a word, Mrs. Wang provoked such a bunch of rebuttals from them, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassing on her face. These days, she has also been robbed by Wang Xifeng a lot, so this kind of disrespect towards her is over. got used to.

Xue Baochai changed the subject, and asked Ping'er and Yuanyang: "When I came, I saw that your eye circles were red before, what's the matter?"

Ping'er said: "I just heard that the previous batch of people who were taken away have been sold, and this batch is our turn. Except for the young masters, young ladies, wives, and grandmas of the Jia family, the other little wives and maids, no matter who they are, are all If you want to sell it cleanly, grandma just said that there is no need to distinguish between masters and servants in the future, I am afraid that those of us who are not well-off and wives and grandmas will have nothing to do."

Baochai said: "I thought it was something. Since you can go out, it is a good thing. You will be free earlier than the masters, and the masters will suffer for a few more days. I will let Xiaohong do it at that time." , as long as you buy them all and come out to wait for them, everything will be the same as before."

The girls immediately knelt down and said in surprise, "Really?!"

Xiaohong said at this time: "The first one of my parents was sold in Nanshi, and was almost bought by a wealthy businessman from the south. Fortunately, I bought it back at a price, so don't worry, sisters, I have experience. I won’t let you be bought by others.”

The maids, who had been gloomy early in the morning, now heard that there was a way out, so they put the matter aside. On the contrary, they began to worry about what would happen to Wang Xifeng who was still here after they left. .
