[Red House] Raiders of life

On the first day of the first lunar month, on New Year's Eve, it was Jia Yuanchun's birthday, but it happened to be such a day...

Looking at the white flags above and below Jia's mansion, Lin Ning couldn't help sighing.When a child dies young, most families are not able to handle it well, but the Jia family...

Not many people came to express their condolences. As a family of relatives, Lin Ning had to save face, but for others, it was not necessary for the masters to come in person.

Lin Ning had never seen Jia Shishi before, and heard that he had passed out after being so stimulated. After sitting for a while, he saw that Jia Zheng seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and even lost his mind several times while talking to him. But knowing how he felt, he kept silent.After sitting for a while, seeing the messenger on the other side of Shen's in the inner courtyard saying that it was almost done, he got up and went back.

Along the way, Shen hesitated to speak, "Although I don't like their family, Yi'er and I persuaded them a few times when this happened, but it made them feel ashamed, and I couldn't help feeling a little resentful. But Looking at the appearance of the eldest sister now, it is a bit unpleasant. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man. The eldest sister was dumbfounded and lost her spirit. It was so difficult when I gave birth to Sister Feng, and I almost... …For a while, I thought that if Sister Feng survived, but I went, what would happen if she had the reputation of Kemu on her back? I… ..."

Shen was not such a sentimental person, probably because Wang's situation was really not good, which made her feel sad. Lin Yi repeatedly joked, "People say that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. It can be seen that both mother and sister Blessed. Two days ago, my sister told me that she was feeling unwell and couldn’t eat. I wondered if I had it. I didn’t see you today. The uncle said that when he asked my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law’s face turned red Yes, hesitating. Mother will wait two days to get the letter of approval to announce the good news to you. At that time, my sister will give birth to ten or eight grandchildren, and mother will be happy."

Lin Yi didn't know who he followed, and he had a clever mouth, exquisite face, long sleeves and good at dancing, which made Shen very happy.

Shen's face burst into laughter when she heard this, and she didn't know where her sad emotions just now went.

Because brother Xu is still in the mansion, Lin Yi's mother can't help worrying about it, and so does Shen.So the carriage moved a little fast, but before they entered the mansion, the coachman Liu Da exclaimed. Lin Ning and Wang Ren who were riding on the horses turned their heads and saw thick smoke billowing in the distance. It seems to be Ning Rong Street.

Lin Ning was shocked, and hurriedly sent Qinghe to check.

After a while, I saw the people watching the excitement coming and going, whispering to each other.

"Where did the water come from? Look at this posture, the fire is not small."

"I just went to see it. It's the Rongguo Mansion. The servants who jumped out of the Li Mansion said that a large area was burned."

"Rongguo Mansion? Isn't it the home of Immortal Baoyu?"

"What kind of fairy is not a fairy? If it is really a fairy, it is said that it is so powerful, how could it die? You can't even save your own life, how can you save the lives of others. I think all the previous rumors are false."

……

Qing He trotted back, "It's because Jia's mansion ran out of water, and the whole mourning hall was burnt down. The fire was very big, and the fire was already being put out at the other end, and [-]% of the soldiers and horses also came."

Lin Ning was shocked, and Wang Ren rode over, "I'm afraid the other end is in a panic. Father might as well take mother and the others home first, and I'll go and have a look."

"That's fine." Lin Ning gave almost all the servants accompanying him to Wang Ren, and then told Qinghe, "Look at the master, don't rush into the fire, and don't be bumped by people outside."

An hour later, Wang Ren came back, and Lin Ning knew the general situation.

Baoyu is a young child, and the mourning hall is not big. It is set up in the inner courtyard, not in the outer courtyard.The whole family gathered, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were in the outer room, and Wang Xiluan of the Wang family was in the inner room.Inside and outside the mansion are Jia Lian and Wang Xiluan who are managing.

Mrs. Wang was just sad, but after Mrs. Shen left, Zhou Rui's family heard some news from somewhere, and told Mrs. Wang.Coincidentally, at that time, a woman in charge came to ask Wang Xiluan about the funeral, and Wang Xiluan said casually, "It's just a child, there is no need to arrange it like this."The expression and tone were a little impatient, and a little gloating, and Wang went crazy.

Chasing after Wang Xiluan, he said inside and outside, that the Wang family and the Min family were responsible for this loss, and asked Wang Xiluan to pay for her son.It is said that Zhou Rui's family overheard what Wang Xiluan and Min's had said.Jia Zheng was bluffed out of his wits by these words.Jia Lian was dumbfounded.

Wang and Wang Xiluan were torn apart, and in anger, they stabbed Wang Xiluan's heart with a hairpin.

All of a sudden, a life lawsuit broke out. Jia's family management was not strict at all. The servants panicked and ran around. Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were already dumbfounded. When Wang Xiluan and Wang Xiluan were torn apart, they had already knocked over the candlestick in the mourning hall.The mourning hall already had a lot of oil lamps, and a lot of inflammable objects were placed in it, but this time it turned out that a single spark started a prairie fire quickly.

When the fugitive servants came back to their senses, the fire was already quite serious. Few people dared to go inside to rescue people, and there was no master to direct them. Even the firefighters were panicked and out of order. Keep the fire under control.

"Now that the fire has been extinguished, my aunt and sister were killed on the spot. My uncle is still in a coma, and he has already invited a doctor. He said it was dangerous, and I don't know if he can survive tonight. My brother-in-law was hit on the leg by a falling beam. It was a blessing in disguise, all the things fell on his leg, but they piled up and protected him from being burned. It's just that his leg was hurt badly, I'm afraid..."

Wang Ren sighed as he spoke, "Old lady Jia had a stroke when she heard the news, and she had already collapsed. The mansion is in a mess now. I don't think it looks right, and Mo Yu has already sent Mo Yu to take care of her." After all, they are relatives. It would be bad for our family to stand by and watch, because people will think that our family is too cold."

Lin Ning nodded, "It should."

Wang Ren hesitated to speak, and after a long while he said again: "Father, what about Baoyu is really the work of the elder sister and the Min family?"

Lin Ning smiled, "What do you think?"

Wang Ren thought: "The Min family alone can't do such a big deal. What's more, Jia Baoyu belongs to the Jia family, and they come from the same line. Those who criticize the royal family and the Holy Majesty will inevitably hurt the elder sister and elder brother-in-law. Although the Min family is not so clever or clever, it is not so stupid. Speaking of this matter, Mr. Li Jijiu and Mr. Li probably have a hand in it, otherwise he would not have hesitated to talk about Jia Baoyu in the Imperial College The Guozijian is all supervisors, which is equivalent to a part of the scholarly force. He will not understand that it is not good if it spreads among the students. I don't believe the Li family's handwriting."

"But it's not right to say that this is what the Li family did. Although Li Wan is a chaste woman, if something goes wrong, she can get away with the crime of killing the nine clans. But it does not have no effect on her. The previous rumors Maybe it was written by the Min family and the Li family, but it became more and more serious later, but it was not the handwriting of these two families, and I am afraid it is not the handwriting of the same family."

Lin Ning showed some satisfaction on his face, "Do you know that the former concubine Xiande in the palace was demoted to a talented person and lived in a lonely palace?"

Wang Ren was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't taken charge of the house yet, he didn't have as many people as Lin Ning, and he wasn't as well informed as Lin Ning, especially when it came to matters in the palace.In this way, I am afraid that those few families have made a move, especially the Zhen family's handwriting.

Jia Yuanchun has jumped from a female historian to a concubine, occupying the position of the lord of the palace, who in the palace is not jealous?Even Concubine Zhen, who favors the sixth palace, climbed up step by step, but a person who has been clinging to her before has such good luck, how can she stand it?

Moreover, since Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, the Jia family's tendency has obviously changed.There is actually the meaning of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.How can an arrogant person like Concubine Zhen be willing?

Wang Ren sighed, after all, it has nothing to do with their family.

Early the next morning, news came from Jia's family that Jia Zheng's burns were too severe and he couldn't make it through, so he passed away in the middle of the night.Jia Shishi was stimulated again, had two strokes within one day, although he survived under the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, but the corners of his mouth were crooked, he couldn't speak, he couldn't move, he was no different from a living dead.

Jia Lian suffered from too much smoke, which damaged his throat. Although he could still speak, his voice was hoarse.That's not counting, the most serious thing is that leg, I'm afraid it will be bad for walking in the future.

A good family, just like this, die, get sick, get hurt.Really complied with that sentence, there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

After the fifteenth day, Jia Min took Daiyu back to Beijing.First of all, since such a big accident happened to her natal family, all her close relatives died, and besides, her biological mother was still seriously ill in bed.She should go back to Beijing to have a look.Secondly, Lin Ruhai also meant to let them go to Beijing for a while.

Lin Yi accompanied Jia Min and Daiyu to Jia's house again. Jia Min lay beside Jia Shishi's bed, holding Jia Shishi's hand and crying loudly.

Most people are lamenting this change in the first month of a good mansion.Only Lin Ning secretly sighed in his heart, it is a disaster, but it may not be a blessing.At least in this way, the Jia family has no one who can head the family, and Jia Lian, the only one who still has hope, has saved his life, but he has to take care of himself for a long time.Jia Huan and Jia Lan are three years old and two years old. They don't understand anything.Li Wan was not someone who could support himself.

It seems that the Jia family has no one to call the shots, but it is true and it will gradually fade out of people's sight. Even if the Jia family did something in the early years, but after a few years, the emperor will not be the same as such a Jia family. Preoccupied.Perhaps it can avoid the disaster of copying the house in the future.

The ninth day of February, the period of spring.Wang Ren entered the tribute courtyard.

At the end of March, the examination results were released, and Wang Ren won the third place.Neither good nor bad, but at the middle level.

In the palace examination in April, Wang Ren performed exceptionally well and got No. 17 in the second class.Lin Ning used some connections to get him into the Hanlin Academy.

It's just that Xie Lin's three-year Hanlin period has arrived.Whether to stay in Hanlin, or to find another place, and if it is to find another place, whether to be an outsider or stay in Beijing, is a question.

According to Lin Ning's thinking, after all, he still needs to practice outside.Xie Lin thought so too, but Shen was not happy about it.

Originally, Xie Lin bought a small house in Beijing. He has no parents. Wang Xifeng doesn't have to wait on his in-laws every day, and doesn't have to report everything to her mother-in-law. He can come to her mother's house from time to time.It would be different if it was released to the outside world. Although it is said that the term is once every three years, who knows if he will be re-elected after three years, or if he will be transferred to another place?Especially Wang Xifeng is still more than five months pregnant.

"Let's go to Yangzhou. I looked at the vacancies in the Ministry of Officials, and there is a lack of a general judge of the sixth rank in Yangzhou. Lin'er is now from the sixth rank, and it is just right for him to be promoted to a higher level."

Shen was even more hesitant, "Yangzhou is not peaceful."

Lin Ning laughed, "If it's too stable and peaceful, where does the merit come from? I know what you are worried about. But if you want to have merit, where is there no difficulty or danger? At least there is still a master in Yangzhou who can take care of it, Lin'er He has always been resourceful, so maybe he can help him. Besides, Jiangnan is our lair after all. Don’t you think that the influence of our Wang family in Jiangnan these years is just empty talk? Who doesn’t know that Lin’er is the son-in-law of our Wang family. If they If you want to attack the Wang family and the Lin family, you have to see if you have the ability!"

The final word.Xie Lin finally got the vacancy of the Yangzhou General Judge.Lin Ning specially gave him two life-saving pills, one was his, and the other was handed over to Lin Ruhai after letting him go.

It's just that Wang Xifeng's bosom is not very good because of her heavy body, this child is very capable of tossing around.In the end, Shen was worried and didn't allow her to go with her, and took her back to her natal home, only saying that she would send her there after confinement.Instead of being annoyed, Xie Lin was very happy. He was promising Wang Xifeng.

It's just this joyful expression that annoyed Wang Xifeng.

"So happy, don't you think that you can go fooling around outside without me by your side? Let me tell you, I worked hard to give birth to your child in Beijing. If you dare to marry me a second wife in Yangzhou, if you raise me, you will be shameless." The vixen, even killed some people. Let’s get divorced! The children I gave birth to, whether male or female, all follow my Wang family’s surname. They have nothing to do with your Xie family. You don’t even want to see him in your life !"

You think the divorce of this era is the same as the modern divorce, and you speak so confidently, what a Hedong lion!

Lin Ning almost didn't cover his face.In other words, the sky can prove that he really didn't want to teach Wang Xifeng in this area, nor did he want to impose the thoughts of this world on her.Therefore, he has always been careful about the upbringing of girls, for fear that she will be tolerated by the world.Can……

Well, he can say, does Wang Xifeng have "savvy"?

Fortunately, Xie Lin was willing to pamper her and pamper her. He didn't feel at all how rebellious it was for her to say such a person in front of everyone, and he didn't feel that he had lost his face. Instead, he accompanied her and coaxed her carefully.Later, even Shen, the mother who loves her daughter, couldn't stand it anymore, so she scolded Wang Xifeng with a straight face, and then gave Xie Lin a look, "There's no such thing as you, don't you want to spoil her so much that she knows nothing about the sky and the earth is lawless?" gone?"

Not only did Xie Lin not take it seriously, he actually laughed.Wang Ren rolled his eyes when he saw it, thinking that Xie Lin had been planted, and he would never be able to find the palm of Wang Xifeng's hand in his life.He turned his head and looked at Lin Yi, who was laughing at Xie Lin and Wang Xifeng who were joking, and thought, "If I can always be in her palm, what's so bad about it?"

After the Duanyang Festival in May, it will be Brother Xu's first birthday banquet.The Wang family held a big event, and Brother Xu was also upbeat, and pulled all the pens, ink, paper and inkstones into his arms, and Lin Ning was so happy that he said straightly: "It seems that it does not seem to be the genes of our Wang family, but followed the Lin family! "

On the second day after the banquet, Xie Lin set off for Yangzhou.Jia Min began to prepare for the separation of the Jia family.

Jia Lian and Yingchun are the only ones left in the big house of the Jia family today. Probably because the butterfly effect was too strong, and the wind and rain were too strong during that time. Jia Cong, who was supposed to come out at that time, was not born, and then Jia Amnesty died. Cong has no chance of being born.

At the second room, apart from Li Wan and Jia Lan, there are only Aunt Zhao, Tan Chun and Jia Huan left.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are no longer here, and the blood relationship between the two families is separated by one layer, and separation is inevitable.Because Jia Mu's current body is no longer in control, Jia Min, a married aunt, can only report to the Jia family, invite Jia Zhen to the house, and invite the elders to witness.According to the current rules, the long house takes up seven, and the second house takes up three to divide the family.

After the family split at this end, Li Wan and Aunt Zhao Tanhua Jiahuan also separated at the second house.Each of the two sides got a house and moved out, living their own lives.

Only Jia Shishi shed tears several times after hearing the news, but she couldn't speak, and she was helpless.

In the new year, Jia Lian, who had recuperated for a year, was also fully recovered.Although the vocal cords were damaged, after rehabilitation training, there was nothing wrong except that the voice was a little hoarse.The injury on the leg was also better than expected. Although it was a crutch, he could still walk anyway. He was not paralyzed in bed and had to rely on a wooden wheelchair to travel.

Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought about marrying him as a continuation.He and Wang Xiluan haven't been married for a long time, and there have been constant storms since they got married. The two of them didn't care about having children at all, and they couldn't have a son or a daughter.Sister Qiao was never born.He is still young now, and with Jia Min's thinking, he can't be allowed to live like this for the rest of his life, with no one to die when he gets old.

Probably the change in Jia's family was too big and heart-wrenching. Originally, she was very uncomfortable with the fight between the eldest and second wife of her mother's family.After all, it is her natal family, connected by blood, even if there is a mistake, the Jia family has never done anything excessive to the Lin family or Jia Min, so since Jia Min entered Beijing, she has devoted herself to the Jia family try my best.

If it weren't for her standing there as the wife of a second-rank official, and Lin Yi, the future wife of the Wang family, accompanying her, the Rongguo Mansion would not have been swallowed alive.Don't talk about anything else, just talk about Ningguo Mansion, don't think that the two families have the same origin, but at this time, they may not be able to bully you.

In this way, the Jia family lived their lives peacefully, gradually faded out of people's sight, and gradually disappeared from the circle of noble ladies in Beijing, just as Lin Ning said, it is a curse and a blessing.

Three years later, the Zhen family was defeated.This time, the Wang family's power in the south of the Yangtze River was probably strong, and the Wang and Lin families joined forces, so there were fewer twists and turns than the previous few times.

Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing and became a leisurely bachelor.Xie Lin took another post and went to Shaanxi.This time Wang Xifeng also followed, bringing their eldest son with them.

After three years of living in Hanlin, Wang Ren had a certain understanding of the imperial court, and finally chose his son to inherit his father's career and joined the Ministry of Industry. Lin Ning directly took him under his command and studied the South-to-North Water Diversion Project with him.

As for the Xue family?Although the relationship between the Xue Wang family and Lin Ning was not very good, they never had a bad relationship. Even in the later circumstances of the Min family's various jumps, the Xue Wang family did not cooperate with the Min family to do anything.Lin Ning is also willing to help.Because of Lin Ning's people watching, Xue Pan was still the overlord, but there was no trouble with Feng Yuan.

The Xue family has always been neither bad nor bad, living peacefully in Jinling, and never entered Beijing until the end of the story of the Red Mansion.

Xue Pan married a local wealthy daughter, and the two quarreled from time to time, but passed on noisily.Xue Baochai married Jinling Tongzhi.On the day she got married, Daiyu happened to be engaged, and the engagement was still with the county king.

Lin Ning couldn't help but think, this is probably the fate of the marriage.
