Daiyu of the Red Chamber owes no one

After the death of Emperor Taihe, the whole country mourned. The Ministry of Rites organized a grand national funeral for Emperor Taihe. Officials above the third rank in Beijing went to Huguo Temple to chant scriptures every day.But the country cannot live without a king. The next day, the Ministry of Rites also simply organized the crown prince's enthronement ceremony. The new emperor ascended the throne, and the name of the country was proposed to be Ding'an.On the day when Emperor Ding'an came to the throne, the third emperor, Sun Yongjun, was named the crown prince.

Because King Zhongshun's rebellion was very involved, the front and rear palaces were extremely busy.On the one hand, the Ministry of Ritual presided over a series of ceremonial matters such as the funeral of Emperor Taihe, the enthronement of Emperor Ding'an, and the canonization of the prince.On the one hand, the Ministry of Punishment was busy verifying the sentencing of King Zhongshun and his accomplices, catching fish that slipped through the net, and killing, exiled, and demoted to slavery.

And because among the civil servants and military generals, there are many colluders with King Zhongshun, it will take a lot of time to track down, among which the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are the busiest.Many princes and grandsons also participated in the school incident in the suburbs of Beijing. The incident happened so close to the capital, and the news spread very quickly.But everyone who is involved in this matter is in dismay.Even those who have never participated in this matter, and are afraid that their relatives and friends will be involved in their own family, are also uneasy. The whole capital is actually panicked.

Among them, the Jia family was especially terrified because they sent Jia Lian to Ping'an Prefecture to contact the former Ministry of the Duke.From Jia's mother to Jia Tanchun, who is keen and different, they are all in suspense.On the contrary, Jia Amnesty still planted flowers and raised birds, Mrs. Xing didn't care about anything else, and the east courtyard was as peaceful as ever.

In Mother Jia's room, there were still only Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, and Nanny Lai, Zhou Rui's family, Yuanyang and others were guarding outside, and no flies could come in.Jia's mother is lying on the Luohan couch, and Mrs. Wang is standing below.Mrs. Wang said with a worried face: "Old lady, now our family is completely dependent on you. Now in our house, only the old lady has such dignity, and has friendship with many concubines and imperial orders. The daughter-in-law begs the old lady Find out about Yuanchun."

After the school incident in the suburbs of Beijing, the Jia family also sent people to inquire about the news every day.It's a pity that since Jia Daishan's death, Jia's family has no real power contacts in the previous dynasty, and the news is very closed.However, relying on Jia Mu's old friendship with a lot of noble ladies, she inquired about the news in the back house several times, and I don't know how true it is.

At the beginning, Jia's mansion didn't know that Xia Shouzhong came to Rongguo Mansion to contact him because he was instructed by Concubine Wu, and he didn't even know that Concubine Wu was relying on King Zhongshun.King Zhongshun was beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and Emperor Taihe died of illness. Apart from keeping the country's filial piety and not daring to have fun, Jia's mansion was as drunk as ever.

In addition, soldiers and horses from Ping'an Prefecture rushed to the school grounds to break the siege of Emperor Taihe. At the beginning, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang only thought that Xia Shouzhong was appointed by Emperor Taihe to come to Rongguo Mansion to discuss matters. Looking forward to becoming an official and becoming a noble.They just didn't think about it, if the people sent by Emperor Taihe, how could they be so sneaky?After half a month, Xia Shouzhong, the eunuch of Liugongdu, was also executed, and Jia's mother, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law panicked.That's why Mrs. Wang begged Jia's mother again today.

He also said that in Lin's mansion, due to the death of Emperor Taihe and the investigation of the remnant party of King Zhongshun, Lin Ruhai was busy every day, but the back house was much more leisurely.Because Daiyu pointed it to the current prince, she no longer runs the family.Jia Min couldn't be lazy, and Fu took charge of the house himself.

One day, the old lady at the second door came back and said: Mrs. Yue and the second wife of Rongguo Mansion came to hand in the post, and the doorman is already waiting.

Jia Min thought to himself: Now that the master is becoming more and more powerful, we can't let people gossip that the master forgets his relatives when he becomes powerful.So he also ordered people to welcome his mother and Mrs. Wang in from Yimen.Jia Min went to greet him at the gate of the inner courtyard in person, but no one could find the fault.

Arriving at the flower hall of Songhe Garden, Jia Min bowed to his mother before dividing the seats between the guests and the host.Then he ordered people to serve excellent tea, and then Jia Min asked Jia's mother why she came.Jia's mother glanced at the girl and woman standing next to Jia Min, and started gossiping for a while, but she didn't know how to start talking about something serious.

Mrs. Wang loved her daughter so much that she couldn't hold her breath. After Jia Mu and Jia Min talked about the family for a while, she interrupted and said, "I have some personal words to say to my aunt, but it's not easy for people to hear. I don't know, ladies Can I avoid one or two with my mother?"

Jia Min also knew that Mrs. Wang would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and that today was not a festival or celebration, and she was in the filial piety, so she must have something to ask for when she came to the mansion, so she deliberately brought the maids and servants to greet her with ostentation.Who knew Mrs. Wang could speak so clearly.Jia Min listened, and said with a smile: "Since the second sister-in-law has something to say, you go down first." Then she winked at Wang Momo.

Wang Momo was originally Daiyu's nanny, and later Daiyu handed it over to the current prince, and she has Aunt Ningyu and others by her side.And because when Daiyu was in charge of the family, Wang Momo was often there to help, and now that Jia Min has not been in charge of the house for a long time, she was afraid that the baby would be born, so Daiyu asked Wang Momo to serve Jia Min for half a year.

Nanny Wang naturally understood what Jia Min meant, and went to Huilan Pavilion after leaving Songhe Garden.

Jia Min on the other end listened to Madam Wang's words, and sneered in his heart: How did this poisonous woman treat her parents and children when she poisoned brother Ling?At this moment, she has the face to beg herself to save her daughter?So Jia Min took a sip of tea and said, "Second Sister-in-law is confused, how can we girls in the house stretch their hands into the court? I don't dare to cause trouble with our master."

Mrs. Wang heard Jia Min's words, she refused her own request, she was not reconciled, and now there were only three people in the hall, and she was not afraid to speak clearly, so Mrs. Wang said: "Auntie, after all, we are close relatives. It turned out that I was sorry for my aunt, and today I apologized to my aunt. But Yuan Chun is the master’s direct flesh and blood, and the old lady’s direct granddaughter. My aunt does not look at the monk’s face or the Buddha’s face, but I hope that in Yuanchun it is Jia’s family. Save her life for the girl's sake."

Jia Min heard the phrase "Master's direct relatives", and sighed in her heart: In this situation, Mrs. Wang actually steals into the main room without knowing her death, and calls her second brother Master, she really doesn't know how to die.It's just that Jia Min is a girl after all, and she doesn't speak when she sees Jia's mother, so she can't say anything herself.He just put down the tea bowl and stared at Mrs. Wang for a while.

Jia Min is now living a comfortable life, her husband is going well in his official career, her son is making progress, and the girl is even more outstanding than a hundred. With Daiyu helping to run the house, she is carefree and well-maintained, although she is only a few years younger than Mrs. Wang years old, but now he looks more than ten years younger.

Mrs. Wang saw Jia Min's handsome appearance, graceful figure, and graceful eyes. Thinking of her hard work these days, she was already envious of Jia Min at first sight.Seeing Jia Min staring at him with a pair of gentle and wonderful eyes, which gradually became sharp as a knife, he couldn't help being taken aback, feeling shuddering all the time.

After half a day, Jia Min said: "Second sister-in-law really cares about the family? Or does she only care about her own flesh and blood!"

Mrs. Wang thought she had tried to poison Lin Feng, but the Lin family didn't know about it.Seeing Jia Min's questioning like this today, I didn't feel my heart tremble.Perhaps she was a guilty conscience, and even though she had read Buddhist scriptures for many years, her emotions and anger had long been hidden. When she heard this, she was taken aback, with a flash of doubt and panic.

Since the Lin family returned to Beijing, although Jia Min has been indifferent to her mother's family, she has always been gentle and decent. Jia's mother has never seen Jia Min look like this.Seeing Jia Min's question, Mother Jia also shifted her eyes to Mrs. Wang's face. Mrs. Wang's complexion changed suddenly, and she also fell into Jia's mother's eyes.

Although Jia's mother didn't know that Mrs. Wang colluded with Zhen Yingjia to murder Lin Feng, now seeing Jia Min's aunt and sister-in-law talking like this, Jia's mother also guessed that Jia Min was behind her mother's house, not just because of the little thing with Mrs. Wang back then. Nasty.At this moment, Mother Jia wished she could crush Mrs. Wang to death, this stupid woman did not know what she did to offend Min'er, to offend such a close relative for nothing.But in this situation, it's not easy for her to ask anything.

Mrs. Wang didn't know how to answer Jia Min's simple words. After hesitating for a moment, she smiled and said, "What is my aunt talking about? Since we are a family, why should we share each other? What my aunt said is hard to hear. Understood."

Just as I was talking, the manager outside came back and said: "Miss heard that Mrs. Yue and the second wife of Rongguo Mansion are visiting, so come to say hello." Mrs. Wang felt a pain in her heart when she heard the word "Second Wife". Holding the key of Daku, who wouldn't flatter her?But when she is away from home, in the eyes of others, she is inferior to Mrs. Xing's second wife, the wife of Rongguo Mansion, and everyone outside recognizes Mrs. Xing.

Jia Min nodded and asked the girl to come in. After a while, the little girl opened the curtain at the door, and Jiamu and Mrs. Wang looked back to see the future princess Pingting coming.Needless to say Daiyu's appearance, her bearing has become more and more noble. Mrs. Wang thinks that the daughter of the Wang family is not to be picky about, but compared with this daughter of the Lin family, she is not as good as her.

I also saw Daiyu followed by an aunt in charge from the palace, two foster nuns, two maids in the palace, and two eunuchs who waited outside but did not come in; Mama, two companions, and two big girls.It was a ostentation of one foot out and ten heels behind.Rao Jiamu is well-informed and secretly admires Daiyu's demeanor.

Daiyu didn't like many people following her. In previous years, when she went out to socialize, she only brought two girls to accompany her to read and a nanny. It was enough not to make people feel shabby.Although there are some other second- and third-class maids and wives in the Huilan Pavilion, why do they follow Daiyu to meet guests?Now there are seven people who come to the palace, plus Yinglian who has been married after the national funeral, the newly invited Baoqin, and the two maids Xueyan and Xueyuan who were waiting by her side. As soon as Yu went out, the ostentation could not be smaller.

Daiyu greeted her grandmother and second aunt.Mother Jia quickly excused herself, and then praised Yu'er for getting better and better, and Mrs. Wang also praised her insincerely.

Even Mrs. Wang is always arrogant, but she dare not let the people in the palace avoid her. Knowing that today is a visit for nothing, she stood up to say goodbye.

Aunt Ningyu and the others only knew that the Lin family and the Rongguo Mansion were not close to each other, but they didn't know what Mrs. Wang did that she couldn't see.But Aunt Ning Yu was a close confidant of the Empress Yuan back then, and when she saw Wang Mama came to invite the girl, she knew that the wife did not welcome today's guests.

Ning Yu also saw that Daiyu's face was slightly better when she saluted Jiamu just now, but when it was time to greet Mrs. Wang, although Daiyu still saluted according to the etiquette, she could clearly make people feel alienated.So Ning Yu concluded that the girl doesn't like Mrs. Wang.

When Mrs. Wang was about to get up, Aunt Ningyu stood up and said: "The slave is just serving the girl, and there are some things that should not be said. It's just that Mrs. Jia has done something disrespectful to the late emperor today, and the slave has to say it. Now The late emperor is about to pass away, and it is the time of the country's filial piety, and the second wife of Jia is actually wearing brocade and satin. I don't know why the second wife of Jia is so disrespectful to the late emperor?

Besides, our girl has now appointed a prince, and the second wife of Jia came to Shangshu's mansion today wearing such over-made clothes.If you know it, it's because Mrs. Jia Er was negligent; if you don't know, it's because after our girl appointed the prince, the relatives in the house made a big show of it, so it's just for nothing to recruit for our girl.According to the servant, Mrs. Jia should be more careful when going out, so that no one can see her. "

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they were all surprised.When Jia's mother turned to look at Mrs. Wang again, she was not wearing brocade or satin?Jia's mother was negligent, so she let Mrs. Wang bring trouble to the mansion for nothing.This Aunt Ning Yu is an old man in the palace. When Jia Daishan was still there, the Empress Yuan held a palace banquet, and I saw that she used to work by Empress Yuan's side.With Ning Yu's identity, she is afraid that she will be extremely important to the first emperor.Today Jia Wang's disrespect to the late emperor is fine if others find out, but when Aunt Ning Yu catches her, what a big deal it is.

Mother Jia was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "It's because I haven't disciplined my daughter-in-law well. I will definitely be disciplined when I go back today. The late emperor passed away, and our family mourned unceasingly. We only went out today to see relatives, so Jia Wang didn't check it for a while, it was negligent. Please also ask my aunt to be lenient."

After hearing this, Aunt Ningyu bowed to Jia Min and Daiyu and said, "Madam, girl, just now I was a slave who talked too much without permission, so please forgive me, madam and girl." Then she turned to Mother Jia and said, "Mrs. What are you talking about, I was originally a member of the first palace, and now the late emperor pointed me to serve the girl, so I will serve her with all my heart. Although Mrs. Jia is more restrictive, I do not have the right to dispose of it. How can I say that I am lenient? Since I'm the person around the girl, I should only care about the affairs of the girl's yard, but today I'm the one talking too much. After a while, the servant will ask the girl and wife for punishment. I just ask Mrs. Jia Er not to implicate our girl."

Mrs. Wang used to be daring and reckless, but she just bullied others. Now that she really saw the high-ranking aunt in the palace, how could she dare to trust her? gone."

Aunt Ning Yu said no more talking, so she stopped talking.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang came here for nothing today, and Mrs. Wang was reprimanded by Aunt Ning Yu, so she returned to the house full of resentment.She didn't want to be compared by Jia Min today, so she specially chose good clothes to wear, not wanting to cause such a disaster.

The next day, Jia's mother passed on the message that all Rongguo Mansions must strictly abide by the country's filial piety, and no one is allowed to exceed the rules, otherwise they will be severely punished.After ordering the steward who sent the message, Mother Jia withdrew her servants again and asked Mrs. Wang if she had done anything shameful to the Lin family.

Mrs. Wang denied it flatly, but Jia Mu sneered and said, "I understand Min'er's temper. If you haven't done it, why would she ask you that you don't care about other people's words? If you haven't done it, how could your face change? "The more Jia Mu asked, the more stern her voice became, and Mrs. Wang's face changed again in fright.

After all, Jia Mu is an old and mature person. Although there is no big picture, the fight in the house and the look of people are very accurate.Seeing Mrs. Wang's guilty look, what else does Jia's mother not understand?He raised his walking stick and hit Mrs. Wang's calf twice hard, but it hurt Mrs. Wang's calf so much that she swayed and almost couldn't stand still.

Jia's mother said angrily: "I went there today, and I understand that the Lin family and us are divorced. It's all a good thing done by you, a fool, and offended a good relative for nothing. Otherwise, how much will Zheng'er Baoyu benefit? You just Go down and think about it. Forget it, now that many years have passed, I won’t ask you what you have done, but you can do it yourself in the future.” Although Jiamu guessed that Mrs. Wang might have done something very bad, she did not. I felt somewhat unwilling to face the truth, and never asked further questions.

Mrs. Wang is more restrained today. It is one thing to bring trouble to the mansion at such a juncture; it is one thing for Mrs. Wang to do bad things to the Lin family. The two angers combined, and Jia Mu beat Mrs. Wang twice with a crutch. Down.But looking at Baoyu's face, Jia's mother was reluctant to cut Mrs. Wang's face too much. She was afraid that Baoyu would not be able to raise her head in the mansion in the future, so she only hit the body that would not be seen by others, and never hurt her head or face.

After more than a month, King Zhongshun's party in the capital was almost ready to cook.Except for King Zhongshun and the Seventh Prince who were beheaded that day, all the men in Prince Zhongshun’s mansion were beheaded, and those who committed serious crimes were also beheaded. The youngest sons and daughters who had never participated in the rebellion were expelled from the genealogy, relegated to criminal slaves, exiled to the frontier, and never returned. Beijing.

The tenth emperor's grandson Feitai and the emperor's grandson should have been executed.But Emperor Taihe, King Zhongshun, and Concubine Wu Guifei who knew the inside story all died, and no one knew the true life experience of the ten emperors' grandsons.Therefore, according to what Emperor Taihe said in the school grounds that he would end up like the fifth child, the Ministry of Criminal Justice sentenced the tenth emperor's grandson to be a commoner and expel him from the family tree.

The new emperor's ascension to the throne is all about establishing his prestige, so after Emperor Taihe executed Concubine Zhen, he didn't say anything to Zhen Yingjia, so he left the Zhen family to the new emperor to practice his prestige.Now that Emperor Ding'an has ascended the throne, and the rebel party in Beijing has been dealt with, it's time to send Zhen Yingjia down.
