Chapter 144 The hairpin in the dowry 38
Xiaohong reminded Baochai that it was time to leave when she came, and everyone was reluctant to leave. Baochai looked around and found that their bedding was few and thin, and the rest were only some straw mats, and the weather had already entered autumn , it must be cold day by day, and the case of the Jia family does not know when it will be judged, so he said: "I have to wrong my aunt, sister Feng, and live here with a few younger sisters for a while. What is there to eat? I'll have someone bring it over when the time comes."
Not two days later, the prison office really went out to sell people again. Because they were prepared, they didn't cry much.
Wang Xifeng said: "This time, I can see the benefits of your identities. Girl Bao said that she can save you, it must be a lie. It is your luck to get out of here early."
Ping'er said: "Grandma, don't be discouraged, as long as the Ministry of Criminal Justice has sentenced you, it will be the day when grandma goes out. After I go out from here, I will come to see you every day."
Wang Xifeng smiled and shook her head, "Since you've gone out, don't come back. This is not a good place. Haven't you stayed enough yet?"
At this time, the officers and soldiers had come to pull people away, and Ping'er said in a raised voice, "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely come back!"
These days, the old lady Jia lived in Xue's mansion, and she didn't have anyone familiar with her. Qingwen saved her brother. Qingwen had been in the old lady's room since she was a child. The old lady liked her very much. Seeing her She is smart, diligent and good-looking, so I put her in Baoyu's room.
After Qingwen came out of the Grand View Garden, Xiaohong led her through the middle, and Lin Zhixiao's family took her back to recover from her illness. After she recovered, she lived in the Lin family. The Lin family didn't regard her as a girl, but only raised another daughter. Qingwen is a I can't be idle, and I rush to do some things within my ability, which is a steady life that I have never had before.
But never expected that the Jia family would have such a catastrophe. When all of them were arrested, it was Qingwen who ran to Xue's mansion to report the news, because she didn't go to the countryside with Baochai and the others. Only Xiaohong could save her parents in time.
The old lady was very surprised when she saw Qingwen: "Didn't you have daughter's tuberculosis? Poor thing, I got this disease at a young age, I'm afraid it won't be cured, why come to your aunt's house now, even though Jia's family has already lost , Let me say something about relying on the old to sell the old, this disease is contagious, your concubine, Brother Pan, and the girls are all generous and charitable people, so don’t always go this way if you are sick.”
Qingwen said aggrievedly: "Old lady, I don't have any daughter's tuberculosis, it's just a cold, and my wife kicked me out when she was sick. If it weren't for Miss Bao and Mrs. Lin's family, I would never see the old lady again." Knowing that the old lady has no self-serving orders, Miss Bao asked me to support her for a few days, and after a few days, Sister Yuanyang and the others come back, and I will go back to the original place."
Only then did Mrs. Jia suddenly realize: "So that's the case, but I blamed you." Mrs. Wang took care of the house and did so many things behind her back. Mrs. Jia just opened her eyes for her own prosperity and stability. Just close one eye.She knew that Qingwen suddenly revealed this incident today, but it was only the tip of the iceberg. Otherwise, why would Jia's mansion, which was flourishing in her eyes, be defeated if it said it was defeated!
I also heard from them that the last batch of servants in Jia's mansion were about to be sold, including Yuanyang and Ping'er. The old lady Jia couldn't help but waited eagerly from the morning. Among them, the person she missed the most was naturally Yuanyang. Now, mandarin ducks serve the old lady, they are inseparable and rely on each other, even closer than old lady Jia's granddaughter.
Xiao Hong came back from Nanshikou with a few people, and heard that Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Xue had been waiting all morning. When they heard that they came back, she asked to see them right away, without even caring about washing them.
Yuanyang came to Jia Mu, knelt down and shouted: "Old lady!"
Old lady Jia wanted to see them as soon as possible so she could ask about Baoyu and the others.But when she saw the disheveled and downcast appearance of Yuanyang and the others, her heart suddenly turned cold.She leaned forward to support the mandarin duck and said, "My good boy, you have been wronged by those unsatisfactory gentlemen at home."
Yuanyang shook her head and said, "I'm just a servant girl, as long as I can see the old lady again, I don't feel wronged or not."
Before she could finish speaking, Jia's mother fell backwards and passed out. Everyone was in a hurry to rescue her, and then hurriedly sent someone to invite the doctor.
The doctor came over and shook his head and said: "I'm too old, and I was too pampered before. I have been stimulated a lot recently, but I can't hold it anymore. I'm already in a state of exhaustion. The mansion still arranges it early." Let's do it!"
In the next few days, Mrs. Jia was in a semi-consciousness until her death, only occasionally waking up for a while, and most of the words she said were muddled.For a while she was called Baoyu, for a while she was called Feng Geer Guier, and for a while she was called Yuanyang.
Yuanyang didn't even expect that it would be the last time she came out to see the old lady, and she couldn't help crying.
Although Jia's mother lived here as a guest, she died in Xue's mansion after all. The entire Xue family was busy arranging for her funeral. In the prison, it is handled hastily.
The current emperor is naturally omniscient, so someone will report it.When the emperor heard the news, he praised Xue Pan and sent people to pay homage to him, saying: "The mistakes committed by the descendants of the Jia family are not as bad as the old lady. Let her be buried with her previous order."
In addition, someone sent a decree to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to say that in view of the death of the old lady, the case of the Jia family can be given a lighter sentence.Of course, this "light sentence as appropriate" does not mean that the guilty can not be sentenced, nor does it say that the crime can be pardoned.So in the end how to judge, they need to decide for themselves.
What is an appointed seat?What Xue Pan did was to take the lonely old lady home, take care of her carefully, and arrange her funeral until her death.Moreover, knowing that the descendants of their family are all awaiting trial at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it is too late for others to hide, for fear of being implicated in the case before it is concluded. For three or four generations, none of the mansions that had been paid was not a prince or nobleman. At this time, Xue Pan was the only one who stood up to do this little effort.
Xue Pan's actions, in the eyes of many veteran officials, are extremely benevolent and righteous.There are countless smart and capable people in the court, but what is lacking is someone like him who has a conscience and a benevolent heart.Even without looking at the emperor, he personally issued an order to commend him. Xue Pan's move can be said to have really caught the eyes of some people, and it has also broadened his official career.
The old mansions in the capital and Jia's family dared to come to mourn the funeral after hearing the emperor's order.
On the other side of the detention house, Wang Xifeng and the others were extremely disturbed, because the girls had been taken out for several days, and Ping'er said that he would come to see them after he left, but there was no news for a long time.
Wang Xifeng said worriedly: "Could it be that the girl Xiaohong didn't buy them, but let someone else buy them instead?"
Tanchun said: "It shouldn't be so. How come the second sister-in-law forgot that Xiaohong is just a person who handles affairs. What is Sister Bao's status now? The people she wants to buy, let alone a few girls who committed crimes, even if they are No one will argue with her if she has a bigger background."
Wang Xifeng pondered and said: "That's right, it shouldn't be difficult for her to buy those girls. It's just that they haven't come for a long time. There is always a stone in my heart that can't fall off. These days, I often feel flustered , I don’t know what to focus on!”
Tanchun said: "We don't need to speculate here. Instead, it will only increase our worries. If something really happens, they will definitely come and tell someone in the next few days. I believe in Sister Bao, as long as she has a way, It won’t leave us here.”
This is not a blind belief in Baochai, but an understanding after so many years of getting along.Tanchun is a strong person, even if the current environment is extremely unfavorable to her, she can calmly see many things clearly.
It's not like Xichun, who usually looks like a very smart and sensible girl, but after being imprisoned by the ransacking of her home, she seemed to be a little scared. At the beginning, she couldn't eat the rough food. I can't sleep even on the hard bed board, and until now I don't say a word or two every day, looking blank, always thinking about something.The cell where Baoyu and the others were imprisoned was outside the entrance, and all the female relatives were inside.As soon as Ping'er and Jin Chuan'er came in, Jia Huan saw it with his eyes, and even stared at the basket in their hands. Although Baochai had given them some food since Baochai's arrival, the daily dry food was enough for them to eat, but I still can’t see the slightest bit of oil and water. Compared with the previous time in the mansion, it is a world of difference. At this time, when I saw someone coming with a basket, I thought it was food. Is there something to eat?"
Ping'er said blankly: "This is not for food, the third master will know when he opens it."
Wang Xifeng and the others heard the footsteps of someone coming in from outside. They would not come to the women's family until the meal was distributed. Then there were Baoyu and Jialan's crying.Wang Xifeng, Tanchun, and Mrs. Wang all stood up immediately, and seeing that it was indeed Ping'er and Jin Chuan'er walking in beside the jailer, the leader said as he walked, "It can be seen that you also have feelings for each other. If you go out from here, you can come back to see them." He walked over and opened the cell door so that they could go in and meet each other.
After the jailer had left, Wang Xifeng could still hear Baoyu and the others crying, and the more they cried, the more miserable they became. She couldn't help feeling uneasy, not knowing what kind of bad news it was, and asked anxiously: "What happened? Why did it take so long? Why are Baoyu and the others crying?"
Could it be that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has settled the case?They, the Jia family, all have to go to the underworld together, won't they?Wang Xifeng had this worry in her heart for a long time, but she didn't dare to ask it out.It's not just her, Madam Wang, Tanchun, Xichun and others also have the same hidden worries, including Madam Xing, You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Li Wan and others in another cell.
Ping'er put down the basket, knelt down and said, "Madam, grandma, the old lady is gone!"
Wang Xifeng shed tears in a daze when she heard the words, and so did the others, but everyone felt a little relieved, it wasn't that they were dealt with, the string was still tense.
So Ping'er told them about Jia's mother's life and death, "...Because of this incident, Xue's family has been busy all the time, so it took a few days to come here."
Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said, "I knew for a long time that the old lady would not last long after this accident. But fortunately, her old man's family is well-off, and she was not imprisoned like us, but was able to be raised safely. Now that she doesn't have to suffer anymore, it's a good thing."
Jia Baoyu's cry came from outside, Mrs. Wang said: "Baoyu should be crying so sadly. The old lady has always loved him the most. She has a lot of love and eighty percent of it is spent on him."
The capital city is very large, and there are countless joys and sorrows staged here every day. Some people are sad, some have nothing to do with their own affairs, and some are eager to move.
Seeing his own power and the old power left by the former prince being uprooted, the Eighth Prince can't sit still. This is exactly what he imagined that as long as he is powerful enough, even if he is not the emperor, the subjects of the world have to listen to him Winks act differently.Emperor Yongzheng is gathering power step by step and strengthening the centralization of power. If he continues to let it go, it will only take three to five years, and his previous years of management will be in vain!
Therefore, Prince Lian, the eighth prince of the former emperor, and now the minister of the guards, began to plan. How can he maintain his own power and attack the emperor's new policy?After thinking about it, the only way to force Yongzheng to abdicate is of course!
Not two days later, the prison office really went out to sell people again. Because they were prepared, they didn't cry much.
Wang Xifeng said: "This time, I can see the benefits of your identities. Girl Bao said that she can save you, it must be a lie. It is your luck to get out of here early."

Yuanyang came to Jia Mu, knelt down and shouted: "Old lady!"
Old lady Jia wanted to see them as soon as possible so she could ask about Baoyu and the others.But when she saw the disheveled and downcast appearance of Yuanyang and the others, her heart suddenly turned cold.She leaned forward to support the mandarin duck and said, "My good boy, you have been wronged by those unsatisfactory gentlemen at home."
Yuanyang shook her head and said, "I'm just a servant girl, as long as I can see the old lady again, I don't feel wronged or not."
