[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

For Hongyun, this incident was just a small episode, impatient to hear the little girl kneeling on the ground continue to thank Dade, let the boy lead her down, put it in the steward's hands, and send her away as soon as things are settled tomorrow. .

"Brother, I have made an agreement with brother Jingyu, he will help me fly the kite." Wulan pointed at Jingyu after finishing speaking.

Jing Yu nodded with a bitter face, obviously she was caught just now and had to agree to an unequal treaty.

"What kind of kite does Sister Lin like to fly, I will also fly it for you." Hong Yun smiled, finally pleasing to his sister's eyes.

"That white cloud's kite." Daiyu pointed at the apricot fruit and asked her to bring out a white cloud kite.It is really a white cloud, put it in the sky, who can see that it is a kite.

"The Fan family still makes kites like this." Hong Yun laughed.

"Our lady drew the pattern herself." Xingguo was courageous, seeing that the lady just bowed her head and said nothing, she replied with a smile.

"Sure enough." Hong Yun praised without guilt, but made Dai Yu feel guilty. Everyone in the family laughed when Bai Yun made the kite.On the contrary, she looks like a temperless person, but in fact she has a stubborn temper, so she has to be brought out to let it go.

Hongyun flew the kite in one go, and soon a white cloud flew into the sky. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know it was a kite.It should also be a floating cloud floating in the sky, moving faster than other clouds.

"How can you count so fast." Daiyu bit her lower lip lightly thinking of just now, this doesn't seem like something a royal child did.

Hong Yun was stunned, and said casually: "What's the matter, if you don't count as faster than people, you will be slapped to death. You don't know those old guys who are merchants, all of them are treacherous ghosts, and in front of you It's bowing and kowtowing, and you can sell you for a big price by turning around. Who knows how to laugh at us princes and grandchildren who don't understand economics in private. I won't let them wish, let them see, let you A traitor like a ghost..."

"It's only worthy of drinking my old lady's footwashing water." Daiyu answered in a strange way, her eyes met, Daiyu quickly looked away, and looked up at the kite in the sky, and found that she hadn't chased it for a while, and she couldn't tell the sky. Who is the kite and who is the white cloud.

Hong Yun laughed for a while, and then said: "That's the truth."

Daiyu coughed helplessly, really, why can't she control her mouth.

Of course, Hong Yun would not let go of the harmonious atmosphere and the good start. He continued with a smile, "Speaking of which, you advised me not to go to Rehe. If I had listened to you, I might not have had these things. I asked If you don't regret it after passing your father, guess what he said?"

Since the diorama is the property of Thirteenth Master's family, Daiyu knew in her heart that Thirteenth Master might also hide a secret similar to her own.Thinking about it, he should know the consequences of this trip better than himself, but he still went, which shows that there is a reason why he must go.

"A gentleman does something and doesn't do something. You, Ama Ying, will definitely not regret it."

"Yes, that's exactly what Ama said. What happened back then was very dangerous. If it wasn't for Ama, I'm afraid..." Hong Yun paused. I can only briefly mention what happened back then. .

Daiyu also understood that just one sentence showed that something really happened at that time.Maybe the abolished prince wanted to kill his father back then, was blocked by the thirteenth master, or saved the holy majesty, it's all possible.

"It's just that I was too young to inquire about what happened later, and those who knew bit their mouths to death and kept silent. Anyway, all I know is that Huang Mafa was furious, and Ama didn't issue an order to imprison him, but he himself imprisoned him." Banned. These years, I only walked around with the fourth emperor uncle once or twice, and all other relationships were severed. Even Er Niang and her natal family stopped communicating."

It has been seven or eight years since what happened back then, but Hong Yun never dared to forget it in his heart.When I said it, it was as if a stone was lifted from my heart, and my whole body became much more relaxed.

"However, these years, although Ama has not been able to leave the house, she has never been idle for a moment." Now that he has started, Hong Yun is not going to stop.There is no one around, and the servants are far away and can't hear half a minute.It is empty everywhere, and if someone is approaching, they can be seen from a distance. This place is better than any other place when it comes to talking.

"Ama has been a little different since then, and his ideas are different from others. Even educating children is, um, ingenious. He stayed at home for several years and tinkered with a few things, which are the glass and mercury sold in dioramas. He didn’t dare to send anyone else to come forward, so he ordered me to handle it himself. But there is only one thing, you are not allowed to communicate with anyone, and you can’t let anyone find out what I do and where the money I handle is.”

Speaking of this, Daiyu understood that fourth master doesn't need to spend money, what a prince's salary is enough for.He completely hid himself and became fourth master's pocketbook.

"In those few years, the Eighth Emperor was very proud in front of Huang Mafa, and it became more and more difficult for us. When I went out, no matter what I did, there were people staring at me. I was inexperienced at the beginning, and I was destroyed several times. Not only did I not make money, but I also lost money. Go in. Then it got better gradually, and when the Fourth Emperor gradually gained a firm foothold, we will also get better."

Even an emperor's grandson would lose money for holding such rare goods. This is not a loss, it is obviously being robbed and cheated.Although he spoke frankly, Daiyu could imagine how difficult the situation was.

"It's finally here." Daiyu's voice was astringent, she lowered her eyelids, she didn't pay attention to her, was it a bit vexatious.

"Yeah, it will be fine after it's over. It will only get better and better in the future." Hong Yun smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Daiyu's hand, and was scolded by her, and shrank back.

Hong Yun still smiled very happily without holding hands.

Two months later, Mrs. Wang of Jia's mansion took the bank notes and took back the IOUs from both Xia Jingui and Sun Shaozu.At this point, they were already husband and wife.

Xia Jingui was still a little unwilling, and cast a sideways glance at Sun Shaozu, "This is the end."

"Women, you know what a fart." Sun Shaozu is not a good-tempered person, not to mention, this daughter-in-law is aggrieved.

"Fuck your mother, if I don't understand you, just talk until you understand. Don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. Why, you have been wronged by being a brother-in-law with Master Jiu. If you have the ability to make trouble with him , just say that you feel ashamed and want to divorce me."

In Xia Jingui's eyes, Sun Shaozu is just a cover, and he is still a member of Master Jiu.For a man, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing. Being someone else's wife makes it easier to communicate.Although he can't enter Master Jiu's backyard, being his woman is the same.

"Shut up." Sun Shaozu was appointed a small official by Master Jiu and stayed in Jinling. Although he picked up his broken shoes, it was still an advantage for him to have an official status.But I felt a little bit uneasy, and thought that Xia Jingui would give him some compensation for the sake of being sorry for him.It's just that I didn't expect this woman to be so ruthless that she dared to yell out such a thing.

"Tell you, don't pretend to be a master in front of me. You know what's going on with me, and so do I. If you want to live a good life, you can live it. If you can't, you can divorce." Xia Jingui was not afraid of him at all, and glanced at him contemptuously. , twisted his waist and shook out like a water snake.

That night, Xia Jingui's fancy dress was displayed at the door, and she didn't come back all night, so Sun Shaozu was so angry that he fell on his back, and unwilling to be outdone, he pulled a maid to bed, and only after a night of mischief did he relieve his depression.

When Xia Jingui came back the next day, he saw Sun Shaozu flaunting his arms around a maid and made a face to her. His expression didn't change a bit, and he pointed directly, "Drag it out for me to sell."

"How dare you." Sun Shaozu looked at the servant who came forward, and fought with them.After all, it was a man, but the servant girl didn't dare to hurt him, so she pushed the servant girl away, and protected the servant girl behind her.

"Why don't I dare, this maid's contract of prostitution is on me. I will sell it if I want to. If you don't let me sell it, then I will kill you." Xia Jingui pointed lightly, "It's useless if you do it again. Sell ​​you all."

The servant woman had the target, and she didn't dare to give in to Sun Shaozu anymore, so she lifted the little maid out from behind Sun Shaozu in a few strokes.Hearing the little maid screaming like killing a pig, she took a sweat towel and stuffed it into her mouth.

The servant girl slapped her fiercely, crackling dozens of times, and she was killed on the spot.Xia Jingui looked around triumphantly, and pointed at Sun Shaozu, "The house is my dowry, and the maid is also my dowry. You really think you can give the uncle money."

Twisting his waist, he walked up to Sun Shaozu, "Didn't you not tell me? It doesn't matter, of course someone told me. Don't you just want to catch Rongguo Mansion's use of loan sharks so that they can be used for your own use? Hmph, I still think it is something, baby or something, knowing that such a little thing is taken in front of me."

Sun Shaoyi's face was livid, his fists were clenched tightly, and his joints turned white.But he didn't dare to really hit the woman, so he could only punch the table heavily, shaking the tea set on the table and jumping three times.

The servant in Shisanye's mansion waited for a while, and a gentle boy came, saying that the master had confessed, and the money would be useless if the IOU was given.The servant next to Hongyun ran out when he heard the letter, and the person on the other side had already left, only the doorman holding the IOU looked dazed, still not sure what was going on.

The boy stomped his feet, knocked on the door and cursed, "What are you trying to do with something you don't know, you don't know how to keep him waiting, idiot."

The scolded door didn't dare to lift his head, and when the person left, he spat, "If you don't want a few dozen taels of silver, don't let it go, it's a big deal."

Hongyun got the IOU, and after listening to the young man's explanation, he frowned and said, "Forget it, he has a plan and has nothing to do with you, so he changed the door. After so many years of slack, it's time to clean up the family."

Ulan was also there, and after listening for a while, the boy left and asked half-understanding: "Brother, is it worth being so nervous about the matter of tens of taels of silver?"

"It's not worth it because of the dozens of taels of silver. If you were given a book by ginseng, you would say it was worth it or not. People won't write how much silver on the booklet, they just say you are taking it by force." Hong Yun He bent his fingers to knock on his sister's forehead, and saw Ulan covered her forehead with a pair of chubby hands, and crossed the threshold with her short legs.

I still remember turning around and sticking out my tongue at him, "Just bully me, if you have the ability, try to bully others."

This other person, except Lin Daiyu, does not think of others.

"Big Brother, Peach Blossom Girl is not leaving." The boy came again, and since he brought back the IOU, it was time to send him home. Unexpectedly, she would not leave.

Ulan had already run outside the door, and ran in again upon hearing this.

"What do you mean she won't leave?" She looked surprised.

"Ms. Peach Blossom said that there is no one in her house. These people know her whereabouts. If they chase her again." This worry is also right. A little girl, if someone intercepts her halfway, what else can she do.

"Ask her uncles, relatives or clansmen, if she can't leave if she doesn't?" Hong Yun shook his head, saving her once, maybe he still wants to take care of her for the rest of his life.

"Then go and ask again, little one." How could the boy not understand, he just asked to get an accurate answer.Since the eldest brother said he would not keep it, there is a way to send it out no matter what.

Taohua was crying and sent back to her uncle's house by the boy. Seeing that she was still teasing, the boy couldn't help but change his face, "I said you are a girl, you don't feel ashamed at all, our elder brother kindly saved you. Why are you so dependent on me? You don’t know where our house is, and you can stay wherever you want. "

After speaking, he didn't care what the family's face was, and pushed them in.

Taohua shrank her neck, and called out timidly, "Uncle, aunt."

"Well, let your aunt take you back to the house and rest first."

"Wait, the things in the house haven't been put back yet, let Taohua sit outside." A woman smiled affectionately, turned her head and carried the quilt spread out of the house, only covered with straw, An old quilt was thrown on top.

"Mother, what's the matter again." The girl from this family was about the same size as Taohua, helping her mother to pack things, and she didn't understand why her mother's attitude changed so much in just one day.

"You are stupid. I thought she had climbed into a wealthy family, and she was sent back to save face, and then carried in properly. Only now did I realize that it was not the case at all." It's clear, but it's just a help, don't wishful thinking.

Putting aside the matter of the peach blossoms, the women in the Rongguo Mansion almost shivered into a ball.

Sister Feng clutched her handkerchief and shouted repeatedly, "Second Master, is he back yet?"

"I've already gone to look for it, Second Mistress, don't worry." Ping'er's hands and feet were cold, and his palms were sweating. Although he was comforting Sister Feng, his voice was floating, and he couldn't get it right.

Mrs. Wang was sick at this time, and she lay down as soon as she said she would lie down.Push everything to Sister Feng, only saying that I don't understand these things, and I don't touch them at all.

"Obviously it was Mrs. Wang's idea. It's good at this moment, and all the [-] poles were thrown on Second Grandma." Ping'er pinched his hand, and now something happened, but it's good.

"Don't talk about it, let's talk about it first."

"Yes." Ping'er also knows her temperament, she has always been very strong, it is not easy for someone to go to the second master Lian to come back to discuss, and it is absolutely impossible for her to go to other places to cry and beg.

Jia Lian came back in a hurry, not noticing the low air pressure in the room, and even glanced at it for a while, and winked at Ping'er.Sister Feng saw it, but at this moment, who has the time to be angry with him like this.

He only stroked his chest and said: "Something happened, someone died."

"What's the matter?" Jia Lian was startled when she heard that someone had died.

While crying, Sister Feng told about their private usury in the past few years, which made Jia Lian's face change again and again.Seeing that Sister Feng was still holding on to his sleeve and crying, she couldn't help flicking her sleeve, pointing at her, and was speechless for a long time.

"How dare you, you have to earn such black-hearted money because you have lost your food or your clothes when you marry. It's really embarrassing to our Jia family. Why did I marry a woman like you?"

"You should be willing. Most of my dowry has been put in. You have the ability to give me a windfall. Let me relax and be a second young lady who has nothing to worry about. The old lady doesn't care about everything. I only use my private house to post Baoyu. How can my parents-in-law control us? No matter whether it is reasonable or not, they still come to me to spend money. There are a lot of young ladies and young masters in the family. , there are always dozens of calls a month."

"Isn't all the income of the Duke's Mansion handed over to you? The shop outside, Zhuangzi, has income every year." Jia Lian was in charge of the general affairs of the mansion, and the more he spoke, the lower his voice.

Sister Feng was still crying at first, but now she stopped crying, and her voice became louder and louder, "You also know how much income the shop Zhuangzi has. You don't know better than me. Just relying on these income can cover the family's expenses, how can I don’t post three to five thousand taels a year, but if there is a big event, I can post ten thousand and eight books a year. There are accounts to check, and I don’t want to go greedy by myself. And this time the garden , I spent two 5000+ back and forth. I thought that the Xia family’s money would not have to be repaid, but when this happened again, I had to repay it. It’s not the face of the Rongguo Mansion if I don’t repay it, but how to repay it, you tell me, What else can I do other than this?"

A string of words hit Jia Lian's face, making his face ache.But this matter has already happened, the couple complained to each other, and they got together again to discuss what to do.

"What's the matter?" Jia Lian asked, pacing.

"There was a family who forced their daughter out and regretted it. One hit a pillar in the yamen and died, and the other sued." Thinking of this, Sister Feng felt her chest choke again. Why are these people so cruel? What did they die for? The place is not good, you will die at the gate of the yamen.This matter has spread, and even the seal cannot be sealed.

"How do you say this, this matter, this matter..." Jia Lian really didn't know what to say, this matter was so big that it was definitely impossible to hide it.

"Hurry up to close the business, send people to other places, and they are not allowed to come back for a few years." For the present plan, we can only send out all the people who know Sister Feng, and cut off the connection between this matter and Jia's house.

Sister Feng raised her head, stared at him steadfastly, and leaned on the pillow behind her in a slumped manner. How much money would be spent on such an action, and she might not be able to afford it in the future.How will I live next year, the next year and the year after, and the money from the Xue family has not been paid back.

"Don't think about the future, think about the present first, if you get caught up in the upper body, the sparks will burn as soon as you touch it."

"Is it really possible to drag me to jail?" Sister Feng's eyes were sharp like a knife. She was worried about how to minimize the loss in this matter, but she didn't expect to stop now.The Xue family's beating to death is just a servant paying for his life. How come she is worse than Xue Pan?

"Confused, how does your matter compare with Xue Pan's?" Jia Lian knew what she was thinking just by looking at her eyes.

"Tell me, why can't you compare?" Sister Feng's pink face was covered with frost, and her pair of phoenix eyes were majestic and majestic. Looking at Jia Lian, she wished she could eat him in one bite.

Cutting off people's wealth is indeed like killing their parents.

Jia Lian often ran outside, so he naturally knew that usury was something that the imperial court hated deeply, because he was afraid that the local tyrants would use it to embezzle the land.If it was exposed, and the family of the public servants was the backstage, maybe the emperor would even intervene.

These words couldn't coax Sister Feng, she poked her neck and sneered, "Don't forget, there is another empress in the palace."

Just for the face of this empress, I won't deal with them.

"What kind of lady is a lady without children, and I don't even think about how old the emperor is." Jia Lian's voice was so low that Sister Feng could hear her.

The emperor is more than 50 years old, and few people who sit in this position live long.If the empress is unable to conceive, it will be Xiaopiandian's order to eat fast and chant Buddha in the future.Even if a little prince is born, it will take at least ten or twenty years to grow up to be an adult, at that time, it may not be a day.

Jia Lian hated to see a few stupid women in the family who used their mothers as a precious sword, thinking that they could subdue demons or subdue demons. In fact, it was just a decoration.

If the empress is smart, it would be serious to pass on the title of the family as soon as possible.His father is a decent son of the eldest son, but when the old man went, Chengjue's papers were uploaded countless times, but they were not sent out.

Sister Feng became stubborn, Jia Lian was no match at all, she stubbornly believed that there was still room for saving this matter.

"Go and beg my aunt, she has always been kind to you nephews, it would not be too much trouble to ask Uncle Lin to help us round it up outside." Sister Feng was still making suggestions.

"My aunt is nice to us, but she treats the old lady better, so you don't have to be afraid that she will bring this matter to the old lady." The corner of Jia Lian's mouth twitched. He didn't want to deal with Uncle Lin. This person looked gentle and kind, but in fact Dazhiruoyu, those eyes can see the weight of a person at a glance, so he dare not approach him.

"This..." Sister Feng thought about it, but her father was far away from Jinling, so he couldn't quench his thirst.

"I'll go to the yamen first and ask what the regulations are and how much they know. Our eyes are darkened, so what can we discuss?"

After hearing this, Sister Feng took out some banknotes and said, "Hurry up, if this matter can pass safely, I will thank you very much."

Jia Lian wasn't so stupid as to come forward by himself, and went around a few layers of relationships to inquire about what was going on inside.I haven't found anything here, but someone has already handed over a post to Mrs. Wang.

"Anyone, just say I'm sick." Mrs. Wang put a veil on her forehead, pretending to be sick very professionally.

"Madam, look." The servant's hands trembled, and Mrs. Wang didn't see why.

"The person who posted the post is the natal sister of a concubine Fujin in Jiuye's mansion." The servant finished speaking in one breath, and patted his chest. How long has it been since his wife received a post of this level? Once it was around the time Concubine Xiande came home.

Ever since Xia Jingui was adopted as a goddaughter, this kind of post has almost disappeared. I never thought that I would see it again.

Mrs. Wang rubbed the post, the expression on her face was uncertain, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was really unpredictable.It's just that this kind of people probably won't allow her to refuse.

The illness soon recovered, and I went to Sister Feng to confess, "I found a relationship to help you inquire about it, and wait for my news."

"Only my aunt would have planned this for me."

Sister Feng expressed gratitude, and when she left, the expression on her face changed quickly.What do you mean to help you find out, but half of the money fell into your pocket.Without these silvers, how did Yuan Chun survive these years in the palace.
