The Hulk of the Red Chamber

Unexpectedly, it stands to reason that when a concubine loses her son, there should always be grace to let her natal family visit the palace, but the concubine Xiande did not get this order, and even in the name of recuperating, Fengzao Palace was almost closed, and the Jia family I can't find out anything, so I can only comfort myself, Concubine Xiande is fine.

It's just that Concubine Xiande is not good at all. In September, the palace finally spread the news that Concubine Xiande passed away, and Concubine Xiande's close maid voluntarily buried her with a piano.

It is not uncommon for a concubine to die. It is rare for the Holy One to be generous and make the affairs of Concubine Xiande's death quite grand. Of course, this is not out of courtesy. The concubine he didn't like was buried next to him. Therefore, Concubine Xiande was buried in the concubine mausoleum after a grand funeral.

The members of Jia's family have already sensed that the wind is wrong, but they are still hypnotizing themselves, doing the last carnival.

Ever since she found out about Yingchun, Lin Daiyu was not very willing to hear about Jia's affairs, fearing that she would become even more discouraged and desperate after hearing about it.Historians are now intensively preparing for auspiciousness. The so-called auspiciousness is naturally the crops they have collected around for so many years. From the first sweet potato to the later corn and potato, the planting methods have been established, and there are also crops in Xiatian, Zhongtian, The production data in Shangtianli have all been counted, so the thing that is enough for the whole country to avoid hunger and hunger is naturally the greatest auspiciousness.The historian is going to make an initiative, and as for things like promotion, it can be distributed to other officials, so that everyone benefits, and the historian can also have a good reputation.

The Holy Majesty's Longevity Festival is at the end of November. Over the years, due to various reasons, the Longevity Festival has not been held. This year coincides with the Holy Majesty's [-]th birthday. The Supreme Emperor can no longer point fingers, and removed two different surnames Wang, the troubles of the confidant have been solved, and the national treasury is full. Therefore, the Holy One finally has the confidence to celebrate his birthday for himself.

Therefore, in October, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have already begun to prepare for the Longevity Festival of the Holy Majesty. It's a big honor to do supply at festivals, and it can also make money, and the Xue family is no exception.

Xue Pan is now Jia Baoyu's eldest brother-in-law, and he is also generous and loyal, but he has met many people. When it came to an errand to supply silk flowers for the Wanshou Festival as real flowers in the garden, I hurriedly prepared to go. Originally, Xue's family supplied ordinary palace flowers to the palace, and now they are naturally familiar with it, but these flowers need There are many brightly colored silks and satins, and the top batch needs some pearls and gems to be embedded in them as stamens and calyxes. The Xue family has insufficient stock, so Xue Pan brought people south to buy goods.

This trip to the south caused disaster.If Xue Pan were to say that he was a big treacherous and evil person, he really couldn't say that, that is, he was similar to the rich second generation who often made drunk driving, hit people and beat people in the later generations. There are omissions.

Even if Xue Pan is on the road, he is not someone who would wrong him. Therefore, even if he escorts the goods back to Beijing, he can't stop enjoying them. If he is not used to dry food, he has to stop often to find a wine shop to drink and eat meat. One day, the caravan passed through a small town, and Xue Pan took a boy with him, and went to a hotel in the town to drink.This small shop is not big, and there are few things that can be sold. Xue Pan wants to get some beef, but he can't do it. These days, he is very drunk when he kills cattle. It was the old cow that was slaughtered for meat, but in this small town, if you want to get some beef, it depends on your luck, maybe you won't see any minced meat all year round!The small shop also has limited craftsmanship, and the taste of the wine and food served is very bland, which makes Xue Pan lose his good temper. Although the wine is weak, it has a lot of stamina. No, I advised him not to drink any more. He is not the one who listens to persuasion. He almost slapped him and asked the bartender to serve him wine quickly. However, there were so many people in the shop at this moment, after all, it was already time for dinner. , especially there are some cheap snacks here, the worst wine, you can buy a big bowl for one or two copper coins, so the coolies who work nearby will also come to sell a couple of wines after work, just After eating a meal with one or two small dishes, naturally, it was slow to refill Xue Pan's wine. Xue Pan was already half-drunk, and now he was drunk, and when he saw that the bartender had only come over for a long time, he immediately suppressed it. Unable to hold back his temper, he picked up the wine bowl and threw it on the bartender's head. Unfortunately, the bartender died on the spot.

The boy on one side was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he wanted to drag Xue Pan to run away, but Xue Pan had such a temper, he just thought that even if he killed someone, it would not be a big deal, and the people next to him just shouted "Killed! Killed! "One by one ran out in a panic, watching from a distance, Xue Pan didn't take it seriously at all, felt that he didn't want to eat, so he got up to leave, but was hugged by the shopkeeper and asked someone to report official.

After Xue Pan sobered up, he was in the prison cell in the county seat. Because the evidence was conclusive, Xue Pan had no intention of evading the murder, and he was still talking nonsense, saying that he was the head of the Xue family. My uncle is Prince Teng who is in charge of the nine provinces, and has a cousin who is a concubine in the palace. He happened to meet a county magistrate who just came out of office not long ago, who is jealous of evil and is determined to develop in the direction of the censor. He only wants to kill and pay for his life , directly asked someone to beat Xue Pan, and then threw him back to the prison. According to the formal procedure, the case was passed up. After all, the Ministry of Punishment still has the right to intervene in such matters as murder. of.

The people on the side of Xue's family didn't see well, some stayed behind and continued to escort the goods, while the others got on their fast horses and went to Beijing to report the news.

This is Xue Pan's second life lawsuit. Xue Wang asked someone to send a letter to Wang Ziteng, and at the same time went to Mrs. Wang to discuss it. Mrs. Wang actually didn't want to take care of it. According to her thinking, it is best for Xue Pan to die. , In this way, the Xue family's money fell into his own hands, but he couldn't say anything, he only said that he would help with the turnover. Although Xue Wang's heart was distressed, he had to take the money out to Mrs. Wang. Ask her for help.

Something happened to Xue Pan, and there was also a problem with the errands arranged by the household department. Because there was no backbone, the people on Xue's side were also flustered and panicked. As a result, the fake flowers sent up were found to be defective. , the superior just took advantage of the problem and reprimanded the Xue family, and heard that Xue Pan was involved in a life lawsuit, and immediately swiped a big pen, and the Xue family's century-old imperial merchant qualification was immediately gone, and added a sentence later, Never use it, that is to say, the Xue family in the future should not expect to become an imperial merchant. This will cut off most of the future of the Xue family. How did the Wang family act both hard and soft, and directly fired the position of patriarch Xue Pan, and took away the patriarch's token and returned to Jinling. The Xue Wang family also wanted to put pressure on Wang Ziteng and Rongguo Mansion, but several clan elders directly said, No matter how powerful the Jia family's Wang family is, they can't control the Xue family. If it doesn't work, the Xue family will open an ancestral hall and expel Xue Pan directly!She was so shocked that Xue Wang didn't dare to say anything else, so she had to cry every day and worry about Xue Pan in the prison. In just a few days, she had aged ten years!

Xue Baochai, who married Jia Baoyu, did not live as well as she imagined. Mrs. Wang only expected her to contribute to the dowry in the public house. When something happened to Xue Pan, she wanted to go back to comfort Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang refused. , I have to teach myself a lesson, marrying into the Jia family is the Jia family, and Xue Baochai is thick-skinned and extremely annoyed if he has to obey women's morals.Another point is that although she had no choice but to marry Jia Baoyu at the beginning, it was also because Jia Baoyu cared for the fragrance and cherished the jade, and was very gentle and considerate to the sisters.The problem is that his tenderness and consideration are spread everywhere, especially now that Xue Baochai is Jia Baoyu's wife, she has to persuade her husband to go the right way, and it is impossible to coax her husband like before. As a result, Jia Baoyu has always been impatient with these things, Naturally, Xue Baochai didn't feel so angry anymore, instead she got closer to a few maids who had always served him, not to mention the Xiren who kept him caged, even Bihen Muskyue got his blue eyes, teasing and teasing all day long, Xue Baochai was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief.

It's just that she didn't dare to lose her temper. When Xue Pan went to jail, she had to rely on Jia's family for help. Without Mrs. Wang's consent, she couldn't get out of Rongguo Mansion, let alone seek help from Wang's family. Xue Wang's family had been there , but judging from her face when she came back, she knew that her aunt didn't say anything clear to her mother, presumably it was perfunctory.It's just that even if she is sentenced to death, she still has to wait until after autumn to execute her. After all, there is still nearly a year left. Therefore, Xue Baochai can still hold her breath. brother!

As a result, within a few days, Concubine Xiande disappeared, and the Jia family was also in chaos. Half the sky was about to collapse, only Shi Taijun barely held on.

As soon as the matter of Concubine Xiande came out, the Jia family didn't have the heart to help Xue Pan, but Wang Ziteng received the news at that time. Although he secretly scolded this girl as a debt collector, his own nephew really couldn't ignore it. So I had to send people to take my letter and go around to sort it out. I can't let Xue Pan really be sentenced to death.

The Longevity Festival arrived in a short while, and the birthday gifts brought out by the historians were indeed a blockbuster. After seeing the thick stack of planting methods and various data attached to the back, the sage, Longyan Dayue, immediately waved his hand and rewarded the historians with a rich The title of Uncle Feng, in a word, the historian has won the favor this time, and has become more and more prosperous.
