[Red House] Lixian

Huangfu, Mrs. Huang woke up from a rest.Feeling that the mansion is clean, he said, "Where is Miss?"

The servant girl beside her hesitated and dared not speak.

"I'm asking you something!" Mrs. Huang reluctantly took a sip of herbal tea, and couldn't help frowning: "The taste of this herbal tea is not right.

of! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Huang saw something was wrong at a glance, the servant girl quickly told the whole situation: "Miss Qian didn't want to drag the Huang family down, and moved back to Weifu early, so as not to disturb Madam's cleanliness. I just sent someone to ask An to deliver medicine every day. After passing Ma'am, I left again. Today is the day when Miss and Xue's family confronted the Bo court, so no medicinal tea was brought."

Just as I was talking, Hongchun came over with a basket from outside: "Sister Mo, Miss has something to do today, and the medicinal tea is late, so hurry up and ask me to bring it—"

Suddenly seeing Mrs. Huang standing up, Hongchun greeted her, and handed herbal tea with a smile: "Madam looks better today than before, Miss must be happy to know."

"She's happy? I'm not happy. She's going to hide this thing from me?" Mrs. Huang wanted to write a book to put pressure on Huang Yuan, but then she thought that Huang Yuan was too far away.Far water cannot quench near thirst.

So she put on her clothes hastily: "Come here, prepare the sedan chair, I want to ask the wives from all the families to help." As she spoke, she trembled, Hongchun and Mosang quickly supported her.

Hongchun hurriedly said: "Ma'am, why bother? My lady has already made preparations, and the mere Xue family doesn't pay attention to it." So, she told Wei Qian's plan in full, and Madam Huang felt relieved after hearing this.Indeed, following Wei Qian's plan can indeed teach the Xue family a lesson.

"But I still want to go." Mrs. Huang went resolutely: "Not only for the case, but also for the good life of your lady in the future!"

……

"Who said I didn't do it to my daughter?" When Jia Yucun started to close the case, eight sedan chairs landed at the door, and Mrs. Huang walked in with the support of a group of people.A line of sedan chairs followed behind, and wives from various families got off the sedan chairs and came in a file.

These wives are all the wives of Jinling officials and eunuchs, and each of them has an imperial order, and their rank is much higher than that of Jia Yucun.Not to mention, many of their husbands are Jia Yucun's immediate superiors.

A group of women's soldiers came, and even the seniors were terrified.

"Excuse me, we are not officials after all, you don't need to be polite, we are here only at the invitation of Mrs. Huang." Mrs. Gu said calmly: "And elders, please sit down, we are only here to be a witness .”

Gu Zhenzhen winked at Wei Qian beside her mother. "This time, there is a great thing for you!"

Wei Qian understood what Gu Zhenzhen was implying, but she didn't know why, what she was referring to.

It can be seen that Mrs. Huang's face is sallow, Wei Qian stepped forward to support Mrs. Huang, and met her and Jia Mei: "Why are mother and aunt here?"

"Your aunt has something to say, so invite the wives from all the families together, and ask the officials to be a witness." Jia Mei looked at Xue's house, and then at the women present. "It looks like your lawsuit is over?"

Wei Qian looked relaxed: "Does my mother need to worry about such a small matter? There is still such a big battle."

Seeing Wei Qian's settlement, Mrs. Huang felt certain.Just as I was about to say something, suddenly a gust of cool wind blew by and I started coughing.Wei Qian hurriedly asked her to sit down: "Auntie has a cold, what are you doing out here?"

"Of course I came here for you. Now all the wives are here, please help to be a witness. Today, I will accept Wei Qian as my goddaughter!"

God daughter?

The wives talked a lot, Mrs. Gu seemed to have expected it: "Sister means that the marriage contract..."

"In the past, the husband and the uncle of the Wei family had a very close relationship. The two made a marriage contract and wanted to marry the two families of Qiongyu. However, my son left home and there was no news. It seems to be a bad luck. The Wei family has not used this to treat us all these years. The Huang family turned against each other, but Qian girl was very filial to my aunt, just like her own daughter. My own life is not long, how can I drag Qian girl down? Now I ask Mrs. Jia to do a notarization, and I will accept her as a righteous daughter. This is the end of the family agreement." As he spoke, he took out the token that Wei Qian's mother and daughter had given back then.

Jia Mei was stunned for a moment and couldn't suppress her excitement. Although she had guessed it a long time ago, she still couldn't suppress her excitement when the day came.Holding back her smile, she forced herself to say, "Sister, what are you talking about? Is my family a breach of contract?"

Mrs. Huang shook her head: "Back then, my two families were married, and there was a previous agreement. If the two of them have a bad temper in the future, and their horoscopes are not right, they will marry Jinlan and continue the good relationship between the two families. It's just that my son ran away later, and Qianer cared about love. Fen didn’t open his mouth to break the contract.”

Xue Baochai listened from the side, and took the opportunity to say: "Mrs. Huang is right. If the zodiac signs are not compatible, the two people's fates will be in conflict, which is not beautiful. Therefore, marriage requires three matchmakers and six engagements. Take it slowly. Back then, my sister only exchanged tokens. , if it’s a marriage contract, it’s okay to say that it’s a sworn marriage.”

Madam Huang nodded and looked gratefully at Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai wanted to ease the relationship with the Wei Mansion, and spoke up for justice.In addition, the wives and wives nodded repeatedly to persuade.

After Jia Mei made a gesture, she reluctantly said, "Since my sister recognizes Qian'er as a goddaughter, if Huang Bao returns in the future, she will be called brother and sister."

Outside, Situ Yun was silent for a while, and asked the people around him about the reason for Wei Qian's marriage.

Wei Qian's marriage was full of uproar in Jinling back then, and an old man told Situ Yun the whole story: "It's also the boy of the Huang family who is blessed, so I don't want such a lady, so I foolishly ran out to practice Taoism. I don't know yet." Was it cheated by someone, and got killed somewhere on the way!"

"It's hard for her to encounter such a tragedy at the age of seven." At this time, Situ Yun seemed to confirm that Wei Qian was the one who saved his life back then, but he still had some doubts, and wanted to go to Doulao Temple to ask what happened.

The engagement with Huang Bao was broken, and after feeling a little relieved, Wei Qian also realized that she had lost a trump card somewhere.

In the past, she had a marriage contract, and although she was criticized as a widow, if she made a slight mistake in her actions, outsiders would not be able to say anything about it.But now that the engagement has been broken, I'm afraid that Riwei Mansion will be broken through by the matchmakers again.

However, Mrs. Huang's life was not long, and before she died, she tried to break off the engagement for Wei Qian, and it was difficult for Wei Qian to say "no".

Thirty-three days away, Fairy Jing Huan smiled slightly, holding a clay puppet in her hand with Wei Qian's birthday written on it.Then he took out another clay puppet from the side, which was Xiangling's birthday horoscope, and swapped the fates of the two, and a red thread somehow involved the third clay puppet on the table, which was a male clay puppet.

"The marriage contract is terminated, and we will talk about marriage in the future. I, the goddess in charge of the love between men and women, can take action calmly, destroy your Taoism, and block your path to enlightenment!"

……

In the lobby, Jia Yucun was at ease, thinking that these ladies were here to trouble him, but he didn't expect it to be this matter.Immediately agreed, and notarized with a group of elders, and then the families dispersed.

But before leaving, Situ Yun secretly had someone hit Xue Pan with a flying stone, and made him jump off the soft chair.Seeing that he had recovered from his injuries, the audience booed for a while, Xue Pan blushed, and left in a hurry with Xue's family.

Xue Baochai sighed inwardly, she was ashamed in front of everyone, and her elder brother was given the reputation of being a lecher, which was recognized by the wives.In the future, don't even think about finding a lover in Jinling!

Wei Qian didn't want any of the money that the Xue family paid to the Wei Mansion, and instead gave it to Xiang Ling: "I will ask Mrs. Jia to help me with a notarization later. After your lowly status is cut off, the money will be used as your dowry in the future."

"Miss!" Xiang Ling was very moved, and hurriedly returned the money to Wei Qian: "If it weren't for Miss's help, the servant girl would have married to Xue's family long ago. Not to mention the money, even the servants belong to the lady. "

"I'm not a man, what do you want your people to do?" Wei Qian smiled and shook her head, and suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, I remember you said that you were abducted and trafficked when you were young? Just ask Master Jia to help find your relatives. In the future, family reunions will also be me." merit."

After the group of people dispersed, Wei Qian went to Jia Yucun alone, and after helping Xiangling get rid of her low status, she discussed posting notices to find people.

Jia Yucun remained silent. After all, he still had a conscience. By the way, he took advantage of this to curry favor with Wei Qian, and said, "When the trial was just now, I saw that Xiangjun's servant girl looked familiar. She seemed like the queen of an old friend of mine."

So, he told about Zhen Shiyin.

Wei Qian had made up her mind a long time ago, and she made up her mind to ask Jia Yucun to help find the person from the very beginning, so she pushed the boat along the way and asked Jia Yucun to put up a notice.

Jia Yucun complied with everything, and before sending Wei Qian away, he mentioned the letters sent by Jia's mansion and Wang's mansion, and took himself out of this matter.

"After all, I have accepted the favor of the two houses, so I can't shirk it. But seeing that the girl Yinglian is quite like my old friend, that's why I decided to let her marry into Xue's family. Although Xue Pan is lustful, he is not a bad person, and he is also a person who has escaped from the lowly family. It’s a good idea. But I didn’t expect the Lord of the Township to be so kind and kind to my niece Yinglian. The old man is also relieved, and he will be able to explain it when he meets his old friend in the future.”

With a few words and a few words, Wei Qian picked it up cleanly, Wei Qian smiled but said, "Xiangling, I haven't thanked your uncle for his kindness. If there is anything in the future, you can come here to ask your uncle for help."

Wei Qian understands that Jia Yucun is not a gentleman, but as long as he can overwhelm him and not fall into a trough, he will not worry about his backlash.And this villain used it well, and it was helpful to himself.

So they tacitly took over the olive branch from Jia Yucun, so as to facilitate their future arrangements.

"By the way, Mr. Xiang. Your friend doesn't have a household registration with the government, right?" Jia Yucun is not stupid. Wei Qian refused to let his friend show up from the beginning to the end. The biggest reason is probably that it is not convenient for him to show up.Could it be some fugitive slave?Or a murderer on the run?

Of course, Jia Yucun didn't say that on the surface, but said: "I think the household registration document is lost? Can I help the old man to re-establish a household registration?"

With a thought, Wei Qian nodded: "Then thank you, sir." After the two made up their minds, Wei Qian offered Jia Yucun a silver tael to help with household registration.The two smiled at the same time, everything was in silence.

On the way back, Xiangling asked: "Miss, do you think he will really treat me well?"

"As long as I can hold him steady, Miss, I don't have to worry about him not working. If this person is not loyal, then he must be a talent, and people are reluctant to kill him."

After returning home, Wei Qianxiu wrote a letter and sent it to Jia's mansion.Talking about this matter directly to Wang Xifeng, incidentally, it seemed that he had no intention of mentioning the pressure from Jia's house.

Although Jia's mansion has been Jia's mother's housekeeper these years, the seventh prince supported by Jia She is becoming more and more powerful, and even Jia She has enough confidence and doesn't care about Jia Zheng's status.The housekeeper also proposed to ask Wang Xifeng, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jia family, to help the housekeeper.

Wang Xifeng is quite authoritative in Jia's mansion.After receiving the letter from Wei Qian, he immediately understood, and said with a sneer, "Elder-in-law has always liked Qian girl, and with the help of the Wang family, it must be the second bedroom!"

So, he ran to complain to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia didn't take it seriously: "The four major families are in the same spirit, Qian girl is reckless after all, so what if she takes a step back in front of her elders?"

Wang Xifeng felt ashamed at Jiamu's side, so she took a letter to Jia Amnesty to complain.

Wang Xifeng and Wei Qian have a good relationship, and even Jia She is good to her, and now that Jia She has not lost power, Wang Xifeng will not foolishly pick up the second wife.

Jia She's face was stunned, and he muttered in his heart: "Girl Qian didn't write to me directly, could it be that she complained that I was putting pressure on her?" Immediately, she took Wang Xifeng to Jiamu's side to make a big fuss, and opened her mouth to ask for Jiamu's maid, Yuanyang. be a concubine.

Jia's mother was furious immediately, and Jia She replied: "Mother, you don't want your maid to be a concubine, so how dare you let your granddaughter's maid to be someone else's concubine? Besides, your granddaughter is also of the Jia family's blood. Cheng. When you come to your son, you are not happy to beg for someone casually?"

"Today it's fine if you don't give me the mandarin duck, then get someone from Baoyu, Tanchun and the others."

As soon as the rascal's words came out, Jia's mother trembled in anger: "You are an elder, do you have the nerve to go to the junior's room to please someone?"

"At this moment, I think it's an elder! The Xue family didn't regard my niece as their own junior! A mere Xue family would dare to attack Qian'er's maid. Are you going to attack my sister next time? Could it be to bully my father? I left early with my brother-in-law? Today, my son will put the words on the table. If the second brother really dares to bully the third sister, we will separate later. Otherwise, I will deal with the younger sister. I want to see my side of Daiyu If someone strikes, who are you targeting, a grandma!"

Looking at the letter again, Jia She sneered: "The four big families are in the same breath? I want to see how Wang Ziteng will answer me!"

Those who are soft are afraid of those who are hard. At present, the Seventh Prince supports him, and Jia She has a strong back.After a few words against Jia's mother, Jia Zheng was called, and he directly handed him the letter: "Second brother, I didn't know that you were so angry with the third sister. Your uncle actually meddled in the niece's housework! If it wasn't for the niece's return With the protection of the imperial treasure bestowed by the sage, if we are bullied by the time, does it mean that we really want my sister to drag the whole family to sue the imperial court, then our Jia family will have face?"

Jia Zheng was robbed by Jia Amnesty, his old face blushed, and he said hastily: "My brother never secretly helped the Xue family. Think about the relationship between the Xue family and our family, how can it be closer than the Wei family? It must be the sister-in-law who is helping the Xue family." My sisters secretly took my seal and came forward to put pressure on them."

Jia Mu has always been the uncrowned king of the Jia family, and now Jia She took the opportunity to make a fuss with a dull face: "Go and find Jia Wang!" By the way, he gave Jia She a look: "How old is he, and he is so reckless. What does this have to do with your younger brother! I came here directly to inquire about the crime without asking indiscriminately, and even wanted to divide the family. I just put it down, and no one is allowed to talk about the separation of the family before I die!"

Jia Amnesty's phone call just now also frightened Jia's mother.

If the family is separated, the youngest son's family must go out. What will Baoyu do then?Even I have to live under the care of my eldest son, and there is no possibility of balancing the two parties.

Therefore, Jia's mother took the opportunity to put the blame on Jia Wang's body, and simply pulled Wang Xifeng by her side, handed over the power of housekeeping to her, and guided and controlled the power herself.

……

Not to mention the internal conflicts in Jia's mansion and the replacement of power.The Xue family was gloomy, and Mrs. Xue was heartbroken to calculate how much she had lost this time.

First of all, Wei Qian found out those women and gave them 100 taels each.Then he gave Xiangling 500 taels, and by the way, exchanged the medicine money he asked for from Weifu.

In addition to the compensation for the six sufferers, Mrs. Xue calculated the money this time, and smiled bitterly: "If you include the money sent to your uncles and aunts, the cost this time will be no less than 5000 taels."

Xue Baochai was speechless, so she could only comfort her: "It's all about spending money to avoid disasters, otherwise the sister of the Wei family will really settle accounts, and my brother won't be able to stay in for a few days? But this sister is a smart person, and anyone who can marry her in the future will be considered lucky. "

Xue Baochai glanced at Xue Pan, thinking secretly.

"Why, do you still want me to marry that lowly maid?" Xue Pan was furious: "Bring her home, do I despise my life?"

"I can't say that. If we marry this sister, we don't have to worry about our family's business according to her shrewdness. And now that my brother is making a fuss, the world's prejudices are there, and only those who really don't believe in rumors and really Only those who understand the truth will marry into our Xue family." Xue Baochai recalled the faces of the wives before they left: "Otherwise, how can my brother get married?"

"It just so happens that this elder sister's marriage contract was terminated, and there was a marriage contract after all. Although it was notarized, it is hard to guarantee that others will not feel uncomfortable, and it will be difficult to find a lover when they get married in the future."

Mrs. Xue pondered, if the Wei Mansion is far superior to the Xue family in terms of status, then their family is really superior.

"Besides, brother. If she gets married, won't that maidservant Xiangling marry too?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Pan's heart became active.The family began to calculate the possibility of going to Weifu to propose marriage.

However, after making the suggestion, Xue Baochai was in a trance, secretly wondering why she had such an idea.According to that sister's disposition, she should look down on her brother, right?

The Xuanyue hood around her waist was so faint that she submerged wisps of moonlight into Xue Baochai's body, and then Xue Baochai forgot about it, and concentrated on thinking about how to help her brother propose marriage.

"Every kindness is not as good as my brother's. Besides, my brother just looks arrogant, and he is really kind to me. If I really marry this sister, it will be a good thing to restrain my brother from making progress. .”

Therefore, Mrs. Xue searched for a matchmaker to match the two.

On the 33rd day, Fairy Jing Huan looked at her entangled marriage, with a smile that was not a smile: "One drink and one peck are the number of days, you saved Zhen Yinglian and let her escape from her own fate, but because of the karma involved, you are still alive Don't you know that you are involved in this torrent of fate? Don't worry, sister, after all, you have some morals and deeds that are not comparable to Yinglian. At that time, among the twelve beauties of Jinling, I will definitely reserve a place for you in the official book."
