The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

Watching Daiyu leave, Baochai secretly pinched her palms, this Lin Daiyu is indeed a charming girl, no matter how she schemes, she is now the princess of Beijing Palace, how can she not be angry!

Mrs. Wang was even more uneasy, not knowing what plans she would have in the future, she thought to herself, she should go to the palace and ask Concubine Yuan, and don't let concubine Yuan be involved in family affairs!

But Mother Jia regretted it in her heart. If she had known that Daiyu would have such a noble status, she would have kept Daiyu no matter what, but now who is she telling?How can the 60 taels of silver be paid off?From the meaning of Daiyu's words, it seems that there is no room for change. If it is not returned to her after three days, wouldn't it be sued in court?

Seeing Mother Jia's bored expression, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything. After all, at this stage, she was more or less responsible. Mrs. Xing gloated at Mrs. Wang, but she didn't feel any anxiety in her heart. This is all caused by the second room, if something really happened, it is also because of the second room!

Ignoring everyone's expressions, Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang coldly, and snorted coldly. Mrs. Wang trembled all over immediately, not daring to look up at Mother Jia's expression. There is no room for change, so we should quickly sort out the accounts and pay back the 60 taels of silver, don't go to court and lose face to our Jia family!"

The crowd immediately lowered their heads, not daring to raise their eyes to look at Jia's mother. Jia Zheng was also speechless at this time. After all, it was his family who took Daiyu's money. How can he explain it now?

Mrs. Wang, however, secretly hated her. After spending half a day in her heart, she couldn't help raising her eyes and said: "Old lady, we don't have much profit in our house now, how can we pay back the 60 taels of silver?"

When Jia's mother heard this, she was furious and sneered, "If you didn't talk a lot about that girl Lin, how could you have come to this point now? Why don't you pay it back? Don't you?" If you want to go to court, what will be the face of the concubine Yuan at that time? You, a mother, don't say that you think more about your daughter, but you make mistakes like this, how do you let the empress gain a foothold in the palace?"

Mrs. Wang's face was pale, and she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak. Mrs. Xing couldn't help laughing, but she was stared back by Jia Mu's sharp eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to speak!

But Baoyu was in a daze all the time. After listening to Jiamu's words, his mind suddenly came to his senses, and he cried loudly, "I don't want sister Lin to go, sister Lin can't go!"

Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother hurried forward, but Baoyu spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", which made Jia's mother scream heartily, and hurriedly ordered the people around her to invite the doctor!

Mrs. Xing was smiling in her heart and did not dare to laugh out loud, but Aunt Zhao who was beside her could not help but look smug, and Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying with the handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, and stroked Baoyu's pale face. Face, couldn't help crying!

Sister Feng and Baochai Tanchun also hurried forward to check, but Yingchun and Xichun were left behind, thinking about what Daiyu said before leaving, looking at the room full of people with various expressions, Yingchun Looking back at Xichun who was still cold, he sighed lightly, took Xichun's hand and walked out while no one was paying attention, but it was still as if no one noticed!

But Baoyu wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, crying endlessly, and kept asking for sister Lin. Jia Zheng couldn't help sighing when he saw it, and was shocked when he heard Baoyu's nonsense, and couldn't help but sternly said: : "You little bastard, you don't listen to persuasion in every possible way on weekdays. Now that your sister Lin is the princess of the Beijing Palace, how can you allow you to yell like this again, and don't tell me to shut up!"

When Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's stern words, she was already trembling with fright, and stopped crying. Jia's mother ordered Baoyu's Xiren and Sheyue to help Baoyu go back to Yihong Courtyard to rest, and she trembled with Mrs. Wang. Weiwei went to Yihong Courtyard together, and after listening to the doctor's diagnosis, he said that he was in a hurry for a while, and it would be fine to take two patches of medicine, so he was relieved, and ordered Xiren and Sheyue to serve Baoyu well, and returned to the hospital as usual. The main house is negotiating!

Sweeping away the irrelevant people in the room, only Jia She and Jia Zheng and his wife were left, as well as Sister Feng and Jia Lian. Looking at the people with different expressions, Jia's mother couldn't help sighing, these descendants, although they tried their best to protect each other , but they were so disappointing, looking at Mrs. Wang, couldn't help but sigh even more!

Mrs. Wang wiped away her tears, but she stood aside but did not dare to speak. Mother Jia glanced at the crowd coldly and said, "What? You all have nothing to say?"

Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing also kept their hands down, after all, they also had a share of the money back then, but now they only think about how to guard what they have in their hands, how dare they say anything?

Jia Zheng was also speechless. Mrs. Wang looked at everyone's expressions and said after a long while, "All the money I got back was used in my mother's family's house. Where are we going to raise such a large sum of money now!" Looking back at Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing's proud faces, he was furious, and said: "If it wasn't for Lian Er's poor handling of affairs, how could such a thing happen now? He even wrote a certificate, but he didn't know Make it clear, if you don't take it back, won't you cause trouble for us?"

Jia Lian, who had already been summoned by Mother Jia, couldn't help but said: "Second Wife, although I went to get the money at the beginning, but it was the old lady and the second wife who wanted to use Sister Lin's money. When writing the voucher, I thought Aunt Lin was just joking, and I didn't see Sister Lin mentioning it later, so I thought it was just a momentary act of scaring, how could anyone know so much?"

Mrs. Wang choked immediately, and Jia Amnesty said in a strange way: "Second Madam is so rude to say this, all these years you have occupied the daughter-in-law in our big house to be your housekeeper, so everyone didn't say anything. Back then you When you ordered Lian Er to go to Suzhou, didn’t you instruct Lian Er to bring back the money from your eldest niece? Wasn’t the money you got back also used to build your daughter’s family-friendly villa?”

Mrs. Wang suddenly fell back angrily, with some gnashing of hatred in her heart, but Jia She was the elder brother, she didn't dare to speak too much, and said coldly: "Although it is your first wife's housekeeper, but after all, we are also housekeepers together. Regarding the matter, the empress visits relatives, don’t you use the empress in the palace to show off your prestige outside?”

Jia Amnesty couldn't help blowing his beard after saying something, but he understood that what Mrs. Wang said was very true. These years, she also used the reputation of Concubine Yuan to act mischievously outside. Others would not dare to offend the royal family, but it was quite beautiful. , how to say now?Then he snorted coldly and stopped talking!

Seeing the people constantly shirk their responsibilities, Jia Mu couldn't help but sternly said: "You are here to discuss things today, but you are here to shirk your responsibilities. No matter what, it is our family's blessing that the empress is honorable in the palace. , now the serious ones should hurry up and think of a way to pay back the money!"

Everyone who said a word shrugged their heads, you looked at me, I looked at you, but they didn't have the slightest contribution, Jia Mu couldn't help but sigh!

Looking at Mrs. Wang with eyes like torches, looking at everyone's gloating eyes, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but muttered: "Young lady, it's true. She has lived in our mansion for so many years, and she still thinks about that little money. If it weren't for her foxy son , how can we be so embarrassing?" At the end, she couldn't help complaining, the resentment in her words made Jia's mother look sideways, and her eyes were full of displeasure!

Mother Jia snorted coldly: "If it wasn't for your obstruction in every possible way, how could such a thing come out when this Lin girl came into our house? You really are, and now you still say such things, really Everyone has no rules at all!"

Mrs. Wang lowered her head after her words, and secretly regretted in her heart. If she agreed with Jia's mother's opinion, then Lin girl came in, she is a mother-in-law, so she has the final say?If she dies at that time, she will only say that she is not in good health, and after she dies, she will marry Baochai and enter the family. There is no need to worry about these silver affairs, but what should I do now?

Jia She smiled darkly and said, "Isn't the Xue family claiming that pearls are like earth and gold is like iron? Why doesn't the second wife borrow some from them? After all, they are also your relatives?"

After Jia She said what she said, everyone in the hall looked at Mrs. Wang. After hearing Jia She's words, Mrs. Wang seemed to have realized something in her heart. Yue, with a sense of pride in her heart, raised her head and said with a smile: "That's right, although my younger sister's family is not rich and powerful, but it is rich and noble, Bao girl will also be blessed in the future, she must Can bring some wealth and good fortune!"

He thought to himself, girl Lin can't afford to offend her now, anyway sooner or later Baochai will be a member of the Jia family, so it's not a big deal to embezzle their things earlier, at least we will get through this difficulty!

Mother Jia pondered to herself, thinking a little bit, and said: "Now all the houses have taken out 10 taels, and the remaining 20 taels will be borrowed from my aunt and wife, and I can pay them back after collecting the rent in the future! "Everyone nodded. Although they were full of resentment, they didn't dare to show it. At any rate, everyone gave 10 taels, and Jia Mu gave 10 taels. It's better than throwing out all 20 taels. Those who are angry are also very unfair!

Seeing that the matter had come to an end, Mother Jia sighed softly, tilted her head in thought, opened her eyes and told Yuanyang, "Mandarin Duck brought out the moonlit lotus on the attic and ordered the girl to come out. Tomorrow, I will come to see Miss Lin in person. Anyway, this girl Lin is also my granddaughter, and now she is going to get married, so we should prepare some congratulatory gifts!"

Yuanyang agreed, then took out the key to the attic, and ordered the women behind her to follow, and brought out a large French screen, which almost dazzled everyone's eyes. Jia She and Mrs. Wang's eyes were full of greed, but it was I am very jealous that this screen is going to be given to Daiyu!

Jia Lian and Sister Feng also looked enviously at the lotus on a moonlit night, with red sandalwood as the frame, jade as the base, emerald as the lotus leaf, and pearls as dewdrops from the lotus leaf. The lotus, the pearls are the pistils, and the bright moon in the sky is the luminous pearls embellished with gold filaments, shining brightly and lustrously!

Mrs. Wang's eyes were flickering, watching Jia's mother touching the screen, she felt a little bit of hatred in her heart, but she dared not speak!
