[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

In the eyes of the queen mother, the four characters of royal face are quite important.

Therefore, even if the empress dowager and the emperor were furious and wanted to thoroughly investigate the two mansions of Rongning and Ning, demote the imperial concubine to a commoner, and send them to Rehe, the empress dowager still issued two orders according to her own wishes, and sent people After receiving it back, he went to the empress dowager's palace to plead guilty, saying: "The concubine knows that she has acted recklessly, so I ask the empress dowager to punish me, but those old things are related to the face of the royal family. Please also ask the Empress Dowager to put the royal family first and deal with the matter vaguely. Of course, the Rongning Second House is irrelevant."

At that time, the empress dowager's face was ashen, but she thought that the empress dowager really had good intentions, so she gave up.

So the entire November, and the following December, both the Forbidden City and the Rongguo Mansion looked quite gloomy.The empress dowager finished the funeral affairs, which was considered to be full of the face of the royal family.During this period, Concubine Hui wanted to stir up troubles between Jiang Ling and Rongguo Mansion several times, but she didn't find a suitable opportunity, so she held back for the time being.

Jiang Ling once asked Baoqin and Jia Lian some questions in a dream.But Jia Lian didn't know anything about this matter, holding Qin and crying all night long, Jiang Ling didn't know that Mrs. Wang ever thought of "the imperial concubine was once a maid in our house" from the beginning to the end.Xue Baochai did know about this, but in the dream, Xue Baochai was so engrossed in the house's trivial matters that she never mentioned them.

Therefore, Jiang Ling has been kept in the dark.

The time is slowly approaching the end of December.Rongguo Mansion, no, it should be called Jia Mansion now, and the turmoil gradually subsided.

The day before Jia Yuanchun's burial, a carriage came outside the capital. Two nuns helped a pregnant princess to Jia Yuanchun's coffin. They held incense and worshiped three times before leaving in the carriage. Yes, without any stop.

Someone with good intentions asked: "So there was a princess in your mansion? But why didn't you see him?"

The old servants of Jia's mansion said: "That's the cousin girl in our mansion."

Jia Yuanchun was buried according to the custom in the palace, and the rest of the Jia family, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan, and Jia Huan, who had always been neglected, all signed a copy in front of the head of the Jia family. From now on, the documents will belong to each family, and each road will return to each road.Originally the happiest person should be Jia Lian, but after the real separation, the happiest people were instead Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan and Jia Tanchun.

Originally, what Jia Tanchun hated the most was Aunt Zhao who wanted to marry herself off all day long, but now after the separation, Aunt Zhao couldn't control Jia Tanchun anymore.Following Shi Xiangyun's example, Jia Tanchun found a small house for himself and lived in it by himself. He planned to find a husband and son-in-law for himself after the filial piety period was over. Neither hot, nor far, nor near, made Aunt Zhao very angry.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng took their wives and children and lived separately in the two courtyards of the Jia Mansion. After the filial piety period passed, one of them found a new residence and moved out.As for the Grand View Garden next door, it has already been demolished to pieces, and there is no room for people to live there.

Jia Lan is still too young to realize the impact of this kind of separation, and she is the only one who is no different from before.

The current Jia's mansion is like a skinned tiger, limp and limp, even the little officials who usually don't pay attention to it dare to yell at the wives of Jia's mansion.Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Jia Tanchun and others don't usually go out, and even count their dowry to live.The wives from the East Mansion next door would come to visit occasionally, but most of the time, they stayed in the mansion and managed the household diligently, so that the mansion would not be able to survive if the rice for a season was not confiscated.

Mrs. Wang sat for a day and a night to come up with a solution, but until now, she still hasn't seen any effect.

After two inspections, the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion were completely sluggish.Not only did he lose all his title and salary, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen even went to prison for a few days, and it was Jia Lian, Jia Rong, and Jia Baoyu who worked hard to get them out.Jia Lian himself spent two days in prison, which happened to be next door to Bawang Xue, but Jia Lian had already prepared for it, and asked his cronies to clear the jailer, and gave him money for guarantee, and he was released within two days. What kind of flesh and blood suffering.

After all, Jia Lian's mistakes are not heinous.

Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu could be regarded as connected by fate, but they have gotten closer recently.

By the end of the year, Jia Zheng had dismissed all his staff, and released more than half of the servants in the courtyard, and even stopped Mrs. Wang's monthly payment.Mrs. Wang quarreled with Jia Zheng twice, and Jia Zheng yelled at her back, so she didn't dare to quarrel again.Now Xue Baochai is in charge of the second room, and most of the money and accounts have to go through Xue Baochai's hands. Although Mrs. Wang wanted to leak some money to make up for Jia Baoyu, she couldn't find a chance to do so, so she had to give up temporarily.

The New Year of the second year was the most difficult year in their lives.

The salary handed down from the former palace is gone; the sacrificial meat left to the ancestors in the palace is gone; the annual routine rewards in the palace are gone; even the practice of going to the palace to meet the empress dowager and the empress dowager every year is gone. , are gone.After the whole family became white, life became quite sad, and even a few maids who were close to him began to complain.As soon as the third day of the Lunar New Year passed, the maidservants ran away two more.

Although it is said that the family has a child, but following a poor and down-to-earth family, it is better to run away to make a living.

When spring began, Jia Lian and Jia She found a place and moved out completely.

Mrs. Xing once wanted to fight again, but Jia Lian asked, "Do you still want to die with them!" She was so frightened that she couldn't speak.She really wanted to free up some property for herself, but she had to spend it with her life.From Jia Lian's point of view, it seems that those in the second room will suffer again.

Jia Amnesty asked his son eagerly, what happened to those in the second room.

Jia Lian sneered and said: "Didn't you see that the ladies in the second room came and went with the maids in the palace—the ones who held the piano, and the maids who were served by the eldest girl in the past, and the maids who were sent to the palace in our mansion? , I don’t know what’s going on. The incident just happened in the palace the other day, and they dared to communicate with the palace. Didn’t they just bump into the point of the gun by themselves? Also, the night before yesterday, a guest came to the mansion and said It was Master Hui who reprimanded the good student in the second room, and it was Baochai who smoothed things over. Can't you see?"

Jia Amnesty stared at his son in bewilderment, but he really couldn't tell.

Before Jia Lian could answer, Wang Xifeng beside him spoke up, "Baochai and eldest sister are on the same road."

Jia Lian glanced at Wang Xifeng.The current Wang Xifeng is much restrained than before, and she is no longer bossy like that.The elder sister and the younger sister Qiao followed Wang Xifeng, but they were well-behaved, very much like Jia Min used to be.

"That's right." Jia Lian said, "Looking at the appearance of the second bedroom, she is exactly the same as the hall sister before she died, and I feel frightened."

At present, Jia She, Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing, and several servants and maidservants who were separated from the long house, left the original Rongguo Mansion and moved to the newly purchased house.

In the dream at night, Jia Lian dreamed of the servant from last time again, the servant still served him tea, and then stood aside without speaking.

Just as Jia Lian settled a concern, he said something more in his dream.He could see that this young servant was sent by Mrs. Xian to help him.Therefore, there are many things that are inconvenient to say in the real world, and I have said them one by one.

For example, Mrs. Wang has been communicating with people in the palace these days, and she doesn't know what her plan is.

Another example, according to the current situation, sooner or later Mrs. Wang will be tortured to death by herself.

The young man in front of him was quiet, refilling a pot of tea for him from time to time, occasionally mentioning a few words, which always made Jia Lian suddenly enlightened.Jia Lian believed even more that the lady in front of her was sent by the lady to help her through the difficulties.After talking for a while, Jia Lian suddenly said with emotion: "Half a year ago, there was a mysterious person who said that he could fulfill his wish and inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion. But now, let alone inheriting the title, it will be smooth If you want to avoid disasters, you must chant Buddha. Tell me, who is that person?"

The boy stood quietly for a while, then said: "I don't know."

That mysterious figure was naturally Jiang Ling.

And the servant is also Jiang Ling.

Naturally, it was impossible for Jiang Ling to expose herself, so she slowly poured a pot of tea for Jia Lian, and asked, "Does Second Master still want that title?" If she wanted it, she could try it. Help him plan and plan.After all, this is what he promised him before.

Jia Lian thought for a while, then said: "Forget it, you didn't see how many people have been disabled by this title. Even if you want it, you have to have this life to get it. After two days, that mysterious figure will come When I contacted my grandfather, I told him, "I am short of money, very short. If you really want to help me, you might as well send me some more money." Well, the house where I live now is still that People try their best to deliver the news to the Lord, but they don't know where it is."

Jiang Ling smiled and said vaguely, "It should be someone who doesn't like to reveal his identity."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "You're right." Then he blurted the matter away.

At noon the next day, Jiang Ling did receive a message from his confidant nanny, saying that the second master was short of money.Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "Is there anything else?"

The confidant mother hesitated for a while before saying: "Back to the master, the second master of the Jia family is gone. But when the slaves just returned to the palace, they heard that Master Mingzhu brought a few clans to speak with the Lord Long Live and call him the imperial concubine." The fact that "the imperial concubine is not the imperial concubine" has been spread outside. When I just returned to the palace, the slaves also heard the story from the maids and nuns in the womb of Huizhu. Master , this matter is serious, if it is pursued, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor."

Jiang Ling frowned slightly, and said, "Was this matter spread both inside and outside the palace?"

The confidant mother said: "Exactly. Master, our master mentioned this matter before. If the identity of the master is questioned, we will submit the prepared documents and so on to the emperor. But now it has been four years. Five years, how could it suddenly..."

Jiang Ling slightly raised his hand and asked, "Did you meet anyone when you came back?"

The confidant mother was stunned for a moment, and said: "No. Oh, when the slaves left the palace the day before yesterday to bring Buddhist incense to the master, they saw Mrs. Wang leading a lady into the palace and went to the womb of the benefactor. That Ma'am, the master has met her before, she was the cousin girl in the Rongguo mansion, and now she is the daughter-in-law of their Jia family."

Jiang Ling frowned and murmured: "Concubine Hui, Mrs. Wang, and Xue Baochai?"
