The Rose of the Red Chamber

Tanchun arrived at Rongxi Hall, took the small gold-painted box that the girl had been holding in her hand, and went into the room alone.

"Ma'am, are you feeling better?" After saying hello, Tanchun looked at Mrs. Wang with a concerned look on her face, who had only been gone for one night and half a morning.

In other words, when Jia Zhu disappeared in Tanchun's memory, Mrs. Wang didn't seem to be so haggard.

Could it be that these dead things are more important than her son's life?

In the past, Tanchun always heard that someone was sad as if a relative had died, but today she opened her eyes.

There is actually something sadder in this world that is more painful than the death of a loved one.

Mrs. Wang, you are amazing!Yet another new window has been opened for us.

Originally, I thought that the next time you do something bad, you will lose all the benefits you get from doing it, but seeing her situation, if she loses money again, she will probably go crazy.

Then let's forget about this kind of thing, after all, she also has to bear risks and psychological pressure.

"The third girl is here, and Jin Chuan is here to watch tea."

In Mrs. Wang's feeble voice, there was still a deep sense of hurt.Seeing her like this, Tanchun felt embarrassed for no reason.

"Sister Jin Chuan is not busy, I am not thirsty. I heard from the old lady at breakfast, and heard that the wife called the imperial doctor here, and I was thinking about it. I wanted to come over to help my wife, but I am clumsy, so I am wronged again." Mrs.

Now I don't bother my sister any more.I also ask my sister to be more considerate, and I will remember my sister later. After Chao Jinchuan finished speaking, Tanchun turned his head and said to Mrs. Wang,

"When I came here, I was afraid that my son would not be able to attend to my wife's sickness, and would disturb my wife again. Be quiet. I just couldn't let go of my wife without taking a look. What did the doctor say? Is my wife better? Is there anything you want to eat? Want to eat?" It is useful, even if there is no one in the mansion for a while, I just sent the person in charge to go out and look for it."

"My son, it's hard for you to have a heart. It's just that this is fate, and you can't help yourself at all." When she spoke the second half of the sentence, Mrs. Wang was obviously choked up and couldn't speak.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's sorrowful expression, the worry on Tanchun's face could hardly be maintained.

Mud girl, it's still alive, why are you so bored.

When your son died, you were never so sad, okay?

And don't you still have a lot of bank notes and land deeds in your bedroom?

That's all you need to spend.With so much ill-gotten wealth, I would be willing to turn around and die if I use it to do something good. I was really put into the frying pan.

Tanchun collected his mind, then put the box in his hand in front of Mrs. Wang's pillow, with a sincere and friendly face, pushed it forward with his hands, and then said to Mrs. Wang with a smile,

"It's usually rewarded by the old lady, the wife, the eldest sister, and distributed by the house. I don't have any money to spend on weekdays. My wife always needs to take medicine when she is sick, so I bring all of these with me. Come, buy some candied fruit for the wife.

Don't think too little of the wife, don't say no, Tanchun knows that the wife is not bad, but it is always a little bit of her daughter's heart. "

An unmarried girl, and only a child of a few years old, Madam Wang knows how much she can have without even thinking about it.

Coupled with the fact that this child has always looked sharp, how many can be left in his hands.It's just that it was delivered so fast, if you want it, she still doesn't like it.Don't, it's just this kind of heart that moved her.

Why didn't her own daughter-in-law think of subsidizing her?

Hey, tell me how it got stolen so well?

Her dowry, her private house~, even the account book where she puts the profit...

Eh, just thinking of this, Mrs. Wang sat up instantly.

"Ma'am, ma'am?" Could it be that he was moved by himself?

This woman can't be so honest, can she?

Tanchun also knows how many good things she has taken from Mrs. Wang, and now she is really paying her back.

But the problem is that she is not prepared to really want her things, not to mention that she needs to accumulate some merits for doing all the bad things, but how many of those things are stolen goods of unknown origin.

Not to mention that among those things, the eldest wife's dowry is no less than a dozen pieces, and there is also the "thank you fee" she got from helping an official who went to Beijing to report on her work a few years ago, and the "endorsement fee" she got from supporting a casino. There is also the 'collateral' that was first brought when lending interest...

So at this time, shouldn't we think about the origin of these things, and then think about why these things miraculously disappeared.

Why don't we think about karma?

Don't talk about Tanchun who was surprised and embarrassed by Mrs. Wang, but what is Mrs. Wang thinking at this moment?

The account book where she put the interest money in the past has not been destroyed because there is still a balance payment that has not been recovered. It has been placed in a box in the warm pavilion before, and now it has disappeared together with other finances.

I drop a damn.

If that thing gets out, she will be finished.

The Eldest Master and Eldest Wife have always disliked the second room, if, if that thing fell into the hands of the eldest room, the consequences would be disastrous.

How to do?

How to do?

This matter must be prepared in advance, and she has to think of a perfect plan to preemptively strike.

Except for her, only Zhou Rui's family and some people who came forward to lend money and collect money knew about the matter of lending money.She has to push this out.

Find someone to take this matter down first, and then let the deal go...

By the way, the person who committed the crime must be placed in the Yamen for closing procedures. Even if it is found out in the future, it will be evidence.

As for who will give up this lucrative business, Mrs. Wang narrowed her eyes, her good niece has always been talented.

......

Mrs. Wang, who had figured it out for a while, pulled herself together and started to kill Tanchun. "Third girl's kindness, my wife appreciates it. You can take this box back. I don't know when I will recover from this illness. Please do a good job of filial piety to the old lady for me. My wife appreciates your kindness." .”

At one moment his heart was ashamed, at another moment his face was full of horror, and at this moment he looked loving and filial again. Tanchun was completely bewildered by Mrs. Wang.

She was a little worried that Mrs. Wang was going insane because of her private house.

"I am my wife's daughter, so I naturally listen to my wife's words. My wife can relax and recover from her illness. I am there with the old lady. I will often send someone to look at the second brother's place. If there is a naughty little girl, I will tell my wife." know."

Seeing what Tanchun said, Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction.Then, with an expression that she urgently needs to rest now, Tanchun bid farewell and left with a wink.

Before leaving, Tanchun still felt that this matter was quite strange, but he couldn't think of the key point.

However, what Tanchun did did a great favor to Rongguo Mansion.

In the future, there will be one less charge for ransacking the house.

Maybe these things have their own destiny somewhere.

Mrs. Wang was still going to be sick for ten days and a half months, but because of the missing account book, she cheered up in a blink of an eye.

After Tanchun found out, he touched his face, and then whispered a few words in Bai Zhi's ear, so a few days later, it was spread from all over the Rongguo Mansion that the third girl was a sincere and filial person.

After spending half a day by the second wife's side, the second wife's illness was completely cured.

Tanchun has always been favored, coupled with Erfang's status in the mansion, and Wang Xifeng's attitude towards Erfang, this kind of rumor has really spread for a long time. When Liu Xianglian heard it from the side, she almost choked to death with a sip of wine past.

Still a sincere and filial person?

Was the third girl mentioned in the rumors really the little girl he knew walking the dog in the middle of the night?

Why doesn't he believe it?

Liu Xianglian's gaffe made everyone else in the room a little puzzled.

"Why, what's wrong?" A man sitting next to Liu Xianglian sent away the other people in the room, and then asked in a deep voice.

Liu Xianglian shook her head, "It's nothing, I just feel that the rumors are too distorted."

The man didn't take it seriously when he heard it, "I thought you were used to it. Let's get down to business, did you really hear about someone plotting an assassination in the hotel?"

As soon as she heard back to the topic, Liu Xianglian quickly became serious. "Yes, wandering around that night, I overheard someone secretly talking outside the private room. What can I do?"

The man said in a low voice for a while, then shook his head, "Wait and see." Let's take a look first, his status should be static and not moving.

"I thought you would use this matter to expand your network."

The man didn't speak, but picked up the teacup on the table and blew gently, "I'm not in a hurry." He's only this year.

"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry." After a pause, Liu Xianglian said again, "You write a letter tomorrow, and I'll run for you personally."

Liu Xianglian also met the man in front of her when she first met Tanchun.

He left Ningguo Mansion ahead of time, but he didn't expect that someone would be hunted down on the road.

They don't know each other without fighting, and since then they have gained a friend who is speculative.

I don't know if I should count this on her?

Thinking of how he would have left Ningguo Mansion early if it wasn't for her obsession.Could it be that this girl's love of beauty is also a good hobby?

"Heh, what's the use of being anxious, I can only stay in this capital." Chang Tuo didn't say anything more when he saw his friend being righteous.

Chang Tuo looked at the whitened scar on his hand, neither happy nor sad.He is the second prince of the Zhenfan Kingdom, and his mother is the princess of the Heavenly Dynasty.His mother died when he was born, and when he was less than three years old, he was sent to the Heavenly Dynasty by his good father as a hostage.

This is 15 years.

He couldn't read the characters of Zhenfan country, nor could he understand the language of Zhenfan country.Even if it was like this that his father fell ill that year, someone would come from thousands of miles to assassinate him and take his life.

Do they really think that once their father is gone, the Heavenly Dynasty will support him to ascend the throne?

No, heaven will not.And he didn't want to.

He has long been tired of party disputes and those things in the court. He has the dowry left by his mother, and he has accumulated a lot of property through his hard work over the years.

In addition, as soon as he entered the capital, he was rewarded with a mansion and title, although he was just waiting one by one.But these are also the guarantees of life.

He is the second prince of Zhenfan Kingdom, but now he is only the first waiter of this dynasty—Hou Shunchang.

Shunchang, Shunchang, those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish.

So what's the use of having no connections.It's just...to make myself feel better.

Seeing him like this, Liu Xianglian talked about other topics.

But in my heart, I thought about whether this matter would have any impact on that girl.

Chang Tuo looked at Liu Xianglian who was always distracted today, and squinted his eyes for a while, "Who are you thinking about?"

After hearing this, Liu Xianglian didn't hide anything, and laughed a few times before saying, "A woman... a dude."

Chang Tuo: "...".

......

As for the incident of getting out of the private house and then stealing it, Baoyu's life there has been dire and miserable, and he can't care about Hong Xiutianxiang's affair at all. Qingwen won't be asked to leave, so Tanchun is relieved.

But just when the Jia family was living a chaotic life, the Lin family made new progress.

The kidnapper who took Zhen Yinglian away brought Zhen Yinglian to Yangzhou.

Good guy, if there is a way to heaven, if you don't go, there is no way to hell, but you still have to squeeze in.

The Lin family has great influence in Yangzhou, and their industries spread all over the south of the Yangtze River.Originally, in the past two years, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai had instructed the people below to be careful if they saw a little girl with a rouge mole between her eyebrows.

It was a coincidence that the kidnapper was seen by the Lin family.

When I came back, I told Jia Min, well, Jia Min didn't inform Zhen Shiyin and Feng Shi, and directly sent the second housekeeper and several family servants to bring the kidnapper and the little girl whom the kidnapper called his daughter back to the mansion.

It was only when she came back that Jia Min discovered the real sign of the little girl's growth.

His eyebrows are picturesque, charming and charming, but he is covered in commoner clothes, but his charm cannot be concealed.There is a sense of sincerity and purity.

Jia Min fell in love with this girl at first sight, and asked about her age and her last name.

"...That man is not the little girl's father. The little girl was kidnapped by him. I can't remember the other little girls." Although she couldn't remember where her home was, she also knew that the kidnapper was definitely not her own father. father.

When she was abducted, although she couldn't say how much she remembered, she knew something.For example, what is the family name, what is her name.

Jia Min looked at the little girl in front of him with affection, "Then what do you remember?"

Yinglian saw that the lady sitting there was very kind, so she really tilted her head and thought about it.That kind of naivety is naturally revealed, which makes people feel loved for no reason.

After a while, Yinglian realized that she could really tell the truth without being beaten again, so she opened her mouth to continue.But she also made up her mind that if she would still be beaten afterwards this time, then she would never tell the truth again.

"My little girl only remembers that her family name is Zhen. Some people call her little girl Ying Lian'er, and she calls someone else Jiao Xing. When she was young, she seemed to live near a temple with a lot of incense."

The ancients were very particular about avoiding taboos when speaking.He is not like modern people, who will tell the child what is the name of the parents, what is her name, where is the home, what is the phone number, etc. when the child is very young.

In ancient times, parents' names were tabooed, as were the master's names.Ying Lian was abducted at the age of five. Before she was abducted, the people she came into contact with the most were the servants who called her parents, Mrs. and so on.

Knowing that her surname is Zhen is only because others call her father Master Zhen.

Jia Min once heard Feng Shi mention that she used to have a girl named Jiao Xing, and thinking about what this little girl said, she was [-] to [-]% sure.

Asking the little girl to wait, Jia Min sent someone to ask Feng Shi to come and recognize her.

Speaking of which, if Zhen Shiyin and his wife hadn't come to Yangzhou, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai wouldn't have ordered people to pay attention to the kidnapper and Zhen Yinglian's whereabouts.

Without these, Zhen Yinglian would have Xu Feng Yuan first in Jinling City two years later, then sold Xue Pan, and then went to the capital with Xue's family, and finally died at the hands of Xia Jingui.

Fortunately, all this was changed because of that dream.

Mrs. Feng is teaching Daiyu some Su embroidery techniques in Daiyu's yard, so why don't the maids from Jia Min come over and ask her to go to the main room as soon as possible.

Even though the little girl was urging her, Feng didn't want anything bad to happen. After talking to Daiyu, she put up her skirt and went to the main room.

Daiyu tilted her head to look at the two people who were leaving, and then glanced at the older girl beside her, who followed Zhiji out.

After that, Daiyu embroidered the purse according to Feng's instruction just now.

The Feng family who left didn't know what Jia Min asked her to do until Jia Min went to the room.

When she saw the eleven or twelve-year-old girl in the room with a rouge mole between her eyebrows, tears filled her face instantly like a sea of ​​impending embankments.

He rushed over in three steps at a time, first touched the rouge mole, then touched the base of Yinglian's ear, and finally lifted Yinglian's arm, and saw the cinnabar petal on the inner arm , Wow, hugged the lost and recovered daughter and cried.

This is her daughter.

This is what she has been looking for for many years.

Her son, her life.

Seeing Feng's series of movements, Jia Min knew that this was undoubtedly her abducted daughter, and she was also happy for her.

Picking up the handkerchief and gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Jia Min sent someone to inform Lin Ruhai and Zhen Shiyin, and at the same time asked the butler to guard the kidnapper who was going down the room, and he must not let him run away.

After a while, the whole mansion knew that Mrs. Zhen's daughter had been found.

Naturally, Daiyu also heard about it, so she put down her needle and thread, picked up the round fan at the side, and went down to the main room surrounded by girls.
