The Rose of the Red Chamber

The mouth of Jia's servants, the legs of donkeys, there is no one who guards the door.

The fact that Tanchun likes beautiful women has already been spread.

It's also fortunate that she is from a girl's family, otherwise her reputation would probably be as bad as her good brother.

Liu Xianglian grew up so big, although she hasn't seen a few girls from rich families since she was seven years old, she is not uninformed.

Ever since I met Tanchun that year, I have always remembered her in my heart because of her unique personal charm.Today, after a quick glance, she recognized her, which shows how impressive she was at the beginning.

Wealthy dandy.

Liu Xianglian heard a great event outside a certain box in the restaurant tonight, and originally thought about pretending she didn't hear it and just passing by.But he didn't want to be followed, he didn't dare to go home, he had no choice but to use his kung fu to jump into the mansion in a panic.

But I didn't expect that this place turned out to be the Rongguo Mansion.

Of course, before meeting this girl, he didn't know that this was the Rongguo Mansion.The mansion is quite large, and he is looking for a way out.

"...I don't know." Liu Xianglian subconsciously replied when she heard Tanchun's question.

Tanchun snorted softly, "I'm lying to you, do you need to think about it for so long? And you think I'm stupid. You don't know me, how could you say 'it's you' just now. Tell me, you Who is it, and how did you know me? Tell the truth obediently, otherwise the girl’s dog will eat people. Oh, and your face, I can see it clearly. I will draw a portrait and send it to Yousi Yamen later. go.

Hmph, what are you doing in the backyard of our house in the middle of the night? Fortunately, I came out to walk the dog, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch you. "

Liu Xianglian: "..." Girl, do you know it's midnight now?Then you still come out to walk the dog at this time?

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the little girl in front of him was telling the truth or lying.

He would not be surprised if anything happened to her.

Just like the girl in front of me right now.

He was dressed in black tights, with long hair hanging over his shoulders, and he held up a thin silver stick as long as a scabbard.There is also a night pearl inlaid on the thin stick that can only be held with two hands.

And that big dog, nearly three feet tall, stood there so obediently without moving or barking, looking at him calmly with a pair of eyes, which made people feel trembling for no reason.

...I heard that the ancestors of the Jia family started out with military exploits, and seeing it today...the name is indeed well-deserved.

The six or seven-year-old girl was riding on the dog, and she still had the momentum to scold Fang Qiu and point the country.

The domineering words and appearance are unreasonable and not annoying.On the contrary, it's quite charming.

When Liu Xianglian was looking at Tanchun, Tanchun was also looking at the boy in front of him.

At the age of thirteen or fourteen, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, a heroic figure, very handsome, tall and tall, and a tall and straight posture.

Holding a sword in his hand, although he entered the house in the middle of the night, he didn't seem to have a trace of wretched and dark contempt.

Tanchun was a little anxious, what she did today, it doesn't look like the old lady's warehouse still has a statute of limitations when it is found stolen.

At dawn, both Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Wang will find out that they were stolen.

So now she has to go back to her room as soon as possible, to cover up her going out in the middle of the night.

In a few quarters of an hour, the sky will light up.But what to do with the boy in front of him?

Killed?

The premise is that she and her dog can really kill a boy with a sword who can jump into Rongguo Mansion in the middle of the night.

But without killing him, what can she do to prevent him from leaking what happened today?

Hey, what's wrong with her, why does she want to kill her whenever something happens?

This is too, too, too do as the Romans do.

"...I had a relationship with the third girl once." Liu Xianglian didn't know whether she was afraid of her screaming or letting the dog go, so she thought about it and said in a low voice.

Tanchun raised his small eyebrows, and snorted, "So it was an acquaintance who committed the crime. Tell me, what are you doing at our house in the middle of the night? Our girls are all pretty, didn't you come here stealing incense and jade?" The warehouse is not here , then he must not be heading for the treasury when he comes in this direction.

Liu Xianglian: "..." That's true, her skills are not as good as yours.

Liu Xianglian considers herself quite decent, and compared with the girl in front of her, that girl seems more likely than him to be able to steal incense and jade in the middle of the night.

"Miss San misunderstood, I just got lost and entered your residence by mistake."

Tanchun rubbed his chin, "Then you got lost in the inner courtyard again? Where do you want to get lost after that? Why don't you get lost in the palace, where there are more beauties." At that time, I don't know who Whose color is it to rob?

"Third Miss, be careful, Liu's coming here is really just a coincidence." Liu Xianglian twitched the corners of her mouth, the words were not right.

"Liu? So your surname is Liu. Tell me honestly, why did you come to our house in the middle of the night and get lost? Forty-Nine City is so big, why did you pick our house to get lost? Could it be that you know that all the girls in our family are grown up?" Sign, so you want to plot something wrong in the middle of the night?" After a pause, Tanchun looked up and down at the young man in front of him, nodded as if he understood something,

"You look... well, it's okay, you have all the five senses. But our girls, needless to say, they are all cute and charming, but they are all very self-motivated. Personality is more pragmatic. But no matter what, you can't do this kind of thing." It's not very good to use force.

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she felt an urge to caress her forehead.

What kind of words is this? It means having all five senses.

Is that how your Jia family boast?

Also, girl, do you really think that everyone is like you, and the three words are not far from your girl?

Alas, thinking of the news she heard today, Liu Xianglian's headache is even worse.

It's nothing.

Compared to Tanchun who has a 'justifiable' reason, Liu Xianglian is more anxious than her.He must have seen the film of the little girl in front of him who really had plans.

Talking about walking the dog, he knows why she came out to walk the dog at this time.

Taking a look at the sky, Liu Xianglian was a little anxious.He was afraid that she would really cry out, and he was also afraid that she would recognize him.What is even more frightening is that if we continue to grind with her, the sky will dawn.

Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the high wall, and then at the little girl in front of him.Liu Xianglian lowered her eyes, then raised her head abruptly, looking behind Tanchun, with a vigilant look on her face.

Seeing him like this, Tanchun looked back with a very normal reaction. It was pitch black behind him, and he raised the luminous pearl lamp in his hand to look, but still found nothing.

Then Tanchun found out that she had been duped and turned her head quickly, but how could the person who was standing there be still standing there waiting for her.

'Run fast.The length is not bad, and I don't know which Liu family it belongs to. Tanchun curled his lips, and without thinking about it, he pulled the dog's neck, and then drove the dog quickly towards Rongqingtang.

Arriving at the small hole in the wall before, Tanchun got off the dog, thought for a while, shrunk the lamp into a hairpin and put it away.Then lead the dog into the yard.

After looking around, I asked the dog to smell it and found that there was really no one around, so I took out a jade pen to erase the hole in the wall.After leaning against the corner of the wall and still not understanding the dog's neck, he took out a jade pen and drew a picture on the dog's eyes, and the dog became a big paper-cut in the next instant.

Tanchun shrunk the paper and put it back in a small box.Then he quietly returned to his room.

When you leave, you go out through the window, and when you go back, you naturally come in through the window.One in and one out didn't alarm anyone.

Back in the room, Tanchun breathed a sigh of relief.Fortunately, there were no accidents except for the boy who appeared unexpectedly when he came and went.

After taking off the clothes and shoes that I went out tonight and shrunk them in, Tanchun fell asleep on the bed in a daze.

Every time she goes out in the middle of the night, she will be exhausted for several days.

There must be a lot of things going on in the manor tomorrow, or she will report for a sick leave tomorrow and stay in the room to sleep?

Tanchun, who was thinking like this, fell asleep a long time ago, and the sky also unknowingly lit up.

The schedule of the Jia family is actually in line with the mainstream of this era. Except for Jia Baoyu, who does not go to court or go to school, the other female family members need to get up earlier than Jia Zheng who went to court.

Jia Amnesty also went to court, but his title was only once or twice a month.Even so, both Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing would get up at an earlier time.

Because Jia's mother got up early, when Jia Daishan was alive, he was a serious and powerful position, Jia's mother had to get up early to dress up, and then serve Jia Dai good breakfast, and finally watched him go out of the house.

Decades of habits have been formed, and it is not easy to change them.The most important thing is that when people get older, they feel less.

The Jia family started from Jiamu to Sanchun at that time, and as a junior, Sanchun got up two quarters of an hour earlier than Jiamu.So Tanchun Zhengzheng didn't sleep for an hour, and was called up.

Early in the morning, Tanchun got up in a daze, and after washing up, Tanchun saw that it was not time to greet him, so he arranged things by himself to pass the time before greeting him.

Let Chanel study ink, she needs to practice calligraphy first, just after writing two big characters, Tanchun called Chanel over. "You go back out of the mansion and ask people to inquire about how many health care halls, salesmen bureaus, sick workshops, and factory bureaus there are in the capital."

Although Tanchun likes beauties, he doesn't like being surrounded by people every day.Usually, only Bai Zhiqingwen and Chanel are waiting in her room.

This summer, according to Tanchun's instructions, Bai Zhi went to the garden to pick fresh flowers every morning, and sent them to the old lady's main room when the old lady woke up.

Tanchun herself is young and has little hair, so she has not paid much attention to Qingwen's dressing up. Summer is here, and Qingwen really doesn't want to smear such thick makeup on her face every day, and then change one after another for her hairstyle. A piece of clothing, or just washing and putting on makeup over and over again for the clothes.

So today Qingwen found a reason to 'strike' on the grounds of making her skirts.After waiting for her to wash up in the morning, she ran back to the ear room where she usually stayed.So at this time, Tanchun only had Chanel as a girl, and it happened to be convenient for her to order her to do things.

"What does the girl know about this?" Chanel wondered why her own girl asked her to inquire about these insignificant things in the morning.The ladies in this mansion usually don't do anything, so don't make trouble for them anymore.

"Father and uncle's killings on the battlefield are always bloody. When I turn back, I will ask someone to buy some old rice and send the rough cloth to it. It is also a blessing." After a pause, Tanchun continued, "I wrote a letter from my family last month. , doesn’t it mean that Mom is finally pregnant? It’s just a good thing to do last time.”

What Tanchun didn't say was that she visited the warehouses of the three masters of the Jia family yesterday and got a lot of gold and silver notes. Although she is not a very noble person, these things are not even the icing on the cake for her.

She kept it for the bottom of the box, so it would be better to give it to those who really need it.

Doing more good deeds can be regarded as accumulating blessings for everyone.

You asked her why she ransacked other people's private treasury since she didn't need it.

She can only tell you that ransacking the warehouse is definitely the best way to make Mrs. Wang and Jia Amnesty suffer mentally and materially.

Mrs. Wang's money is more or less bloody interest money and gray income from helping people tear up lawsuits. For these money, she has caused many families to be destroyed.

For a broken title, she calculated how many people and how many things she calculated.Master Shi San can still earn a title by himself, why is she only staring at such a title that will not be lowered much again and doing these immoral things?

Do you really think that the Rongguo Mansion is really the Duke's mansion?Jia Amnesty was a first-class general, and Jia Lian was a third-class general.If Jia Lian was not passed on and passed directly to Jia Zheng, it is estimated that he would be only a third-class general without degrading his title.

The title of a third-class general is passed on to Baoyu, what is left...

Moreover, this small title is a vain title, who cares about it in this capital city.

......

And Jia Amnesty, for doing such a thing, he should be taught a lesson and frightened.The private house that had killed someone the day before and disappeared without a trace that evening.

I hope this incident can make him think of something, so that he can calm down a bit, and stop harming the big girl and the little wife.

Otherwise, if something like yesterday happened again, she would have knocked him out, and thrown him directly into the bed of a certain imperial concubine or empress dowager.No, it's better not to implicate others, just throw him on the bed of the emperor's old son, and let them face each other.

"Oh, the servant girl knows. I will leave the mansion later to send a message to the girl."

Tanchun listened, and just wanted to nod, but suddenly thought of something, so he said with a smile, "Don't worry, it will still be midsummer, and it won't be too late to go after the dog days. When the new rice comes down, Chen Mi The price will come down."

For the sake of safety, the people in her room should be quiet recently, so as to avoid lightning.

When Chanel heard this, she quickly boasted, "Why didn't I think of it, a girl will live a life." The calculation was really careful.

"...".

Tanchun squinted at her, this sounded really awkward, did he really praise her or hurt her?

Seeing the admiration on Chanel's face, Tanchun took another look at the furnishings in the room, but Tanchun didn't say anything.

Tanchun was not paying attention to Chanel and continued to bow her head to practice calligraphy, and Bai Zhi lifted the curtain and walked in at this time. "Girl, the old lady is here." You can go over to ask Ann for breakfast.

Tanchun listened, put down his pen, straightened his clothes and went out.

Get up early and get hungry early.

Chanel watched Bai Zhi go to the main room with her girl, and then slowly picked up the pen and ink that Tanchun used just now.

The fact that a girl can live a life is very like a wife.

......

Yesterday was the first day of the new year, and just in time for Jia She to step on the hole in Jia She's place, Jia Zheng slept in Mrs. Wang's room.

Although we are old couples, such days should indeed be celebrated, so Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were in a good mood as the night passed.

It's just that this good mood is only maintained after breakfast.

Mrs. Wang had just sent Jia Zheng away from the Yamen when she received news from Zhou Rui's family.

Zhou Rui's family told the story that the big man's study and storeroom had been robbed with a happy mood and expression, and was going to share the good news with his wife.

It never occurred to me that as soon as the smile on the corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth opened an arc, she quickly sat up, picked up the key from her body, and walked out of the room to her warehouse in a few steps.

First the warehouse, then the small Buddhist hall, and finally the warm pavilion...

Before walking back to the bedroom, Mrs. Wang passed out.

I love you~

After hearing the news, Jia's mother was very happy, finally someone like her.She is not blind, how can she not see the gloating in the eyes of her good daughter-in-law when she is unlucky.The way of heaven is reincarnation, and now it is finally her turn.

These days, dowry and private houses are all women's private property, and the husband's family has no right to use them.Mother Jia understood this, so she did not expect any benefits from Mrs. Wang, so naturally she would not feel sorry for her at this time.

It's okay without these, at least she has to give in to her even the hardest wings.

Compared with the sad Mrs. Wang and the happy Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing is very worried. She is afraid that it will be her next time.But this worry probably besides her, even the three or four-year-old Xichun can tell her, rest assured, no one will be hers next time.

You put all the valuables in your bedroom, who has the ability to go in and steal them.

Compared with these people, Wang Xifeng was very puzzled why such a thing was not reported.She was suppressed even if she wanted to conduct a strict investigation. Could there be something hidden?

There is no secret, but because everything is new once and familiar with second time, the Jia family already has experience in dealing with such things.

Not only the master has experience, but also the servants and slaves.

Although the experience was painful.

This time, there was no one from Mrs. Wang's house except Zhou Rui's family to watch the warehouse with Mrs. Wang, as if they would suffer disaster as if they were servants in the old lady's yard.

Some people from Jia Amnesty saw it, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't care what happened to him.

Therefore, apart from the Jia family's master being slightly hurt by this matter, the servants are just talking about it for a few days.

Let’s not mention Jia Amnesty’s distress, he didn’t expect that all his beloved things were gone in the study, uh, of course not the beloved ones were left behind.

What made him want to curse the most was that he had a golden nanmu bogu rack.

That kind of material, that kind of carving, it's hard to find a few in this world.That ancient shelf can be regarded as the biggest antique in his study.

When it was stolen, it disappeared with the shelf and the things.

This is too knowledgeable.

Anyway, leave him something.Besides women, that's all he likes...

Fortunately, in Jia Amnesty's bedroom, there are not only some large bank notes, but also some land deeds, and a few more valuable antiques, which are not too polished.

In Mrs. Wang's bedroom, in order to cater to Jia Zheng's habit of being a sour scholar, the furnishings are not luxurious.There are only some bank notes and land deeds, but there are not two antiques.

Comparing the two, Jia She actually lost the most, but he also left more than Mrs. Wang.

But Jia Amnesty still kept an eye out, he didn't tell anyone about the bank notes.

And those title deeds were all left to him by Jia She's grandmother. It turned out that Jia's mother didn't know about it, so at this time he took the opportunity to go out and quietly sold those title deeds.

The reason why Jia Amnesty did this was because Jia's mother always wanted to help him take care of his private house in different ways since she lost her private house with a warehouse.

After he refused, he always glared at him.There is no way to count the tea bowls that have been dropped on him in the past two years.

So our Master Jia She, after cashing out the land deed and taking good care of the banknotes, continued to play with the little things he had to say with his concubine Ji.

Because he deliberately didn't buy antiques or buy people back, in the eyes of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, Jia She had nothing but two or three decorations in the bedroom, so his attitude towards Jia She was even worse. .

Of course, Jia Amnesty must have gotten used to this kind of thing.

There are no secrets in the Jia family. When Tanchun learned of the "news" that Mrs. Wang's storehouse was stolen after breakfast, and then fainted and called the imperial doctor, she looked like a filial daughter worried about her mother, and let the sitting mother see it. Very pleased.

The children in their family are all filial and good children.

Her blood will never be worse.

Mother Jia must not know what her granddaughter was thinking with a worried look on her face.

People are thinking about how to reasonably spend the gold and silver they got yesterday.After all, too much money is also a burden.

Now Rongguo Mansion belongs to Wang Xifeng except that she is the richest family.Of course, this statement cannot include Jia Mu, after all, no one knows how many Jia Mu is left now.

Aside from Jia's mother and herself, Tanchun reckons that good aunt Wang Xifeng is going to plot against her.

Sure enough, two days later, when Tanchun was watching a good show, Mrs. Wang actually had someone call Wang Xifeng to Rongxi Hall.

After Mrs. Wang was stupefied, Wang Xifeng's housekeeper's enthusiasm really rose to a certain new level.

And picked up Mrs. Wang's profit and money business in advance.

Although for this type of business, Mrs. Wang wanted to come back out of the rivers and lakes again, but when she thought of her eldest son who had disappeared and her second son who had been in trouble since childhood, Mrs. Wang still suppressed her restless heart.

Mrs. Wang's property has shrunk to one-tenth of the point, so she feels so sad.

You must know that there are quite a few antiques in the warehouse, and that small bottle can sell for more than a thousand taels.

Her dowry, the property her housekeeper had collected over the years, was gone.

According to modern people, when she was already rich enough to buy the sky, land, and air, she woke up after a sleep, and the money left in her hand didn't even have the down payment for a small house.

What kind of sadness is this?

Although I felt sorry for the disappearance of the old lady's private house at the beginning, I was more gloating.Now it's my turn, and I'm about to catch up with the disaster.

Although the Jia family turned their attention to Jia Baoyu this time after losing their private house.But because things disappeared without a sound, there were neither huge rocks nor strange things happened, even if it was Baoyu, there was no evidence.

Of course, there is no evidence for such a thing.

However, Baoyu, who has felt the warmth and coldness of others several times since childhood, was still implicated this time.

When Baoyu felt the cold air drifting over from Siberia again, Baoyu was about to make a deal.

He just couldn't figure it out, why these people would definitely find the reason on him when something bad happened in the mansion?

When his mother looked at him in the past two days, it was a nose, not a nose, and eyes were not eyes.

Even his own mother, who has always loved him, has changed.

When the ghost father checked his homework with a face, the old mother didn't care whether her only old son would be beaten up by his father.

So Baoyu, with a pale face, naturally ignored Qingwen.

And when he thought of Qingwen again, it happened to be when the Lin family siblings entered the mansion at the beginning of this winter.But it's too early to say that, let's turn our attention back to the day when the incident happened.

Mrs. Wang, who had almost lost all her wealth, just fainted, and Tanchun worriedly took her private house that she had accumulated since she was a child to Rongxi Hall.

It's just that everyone in the Rongguo Mansion knows that Tanchun has been used to being extravagant since he was a child, so how many private houses can he have.

So the private house on the surface is only two or thirty taels of silver, plus dozens of gold and silver coins... that's all.

However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. That's her intention, isn't it?

Tanchun smiled innocently, let alone others, she was so moved by her filial piety standing outside Rongxi Hall.

The author has something to say: The results of the physical examination came out that day, which was so sad.

My weight is not proportional to my age and height, which means that I am beyond the normal range value-a little bit fatter.

But I still don't want to control my mouth, and I don't have time to move my mouth frequently...

PS: Slamming Fang Qiu is a modern word.
