The eldest grandson of the Red Chamber

Jia Mansion, Rongxi Hall.

"It's still Bao girl who is smart, and she realized something was wrong in time and chased her out." Wang patted the back of Aunt Xue's hand to comfort her, glanced at Jia's mother, and said anxiously: "Bao girl still left a message to say that there might be something wrong. What's going on, why did Young Master Ming take that nasty woman away without making a sound? And the concierge, how to do things, I think Feng girl has relaxed a lot recently. "

Just now when Jia Mu heard the whole story, she couldn't distinguish between joy and anger, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xue Jiapan beat someone to death. You can clean up such a big matter. I think there is nothing difficult in this world. , now come to ask my old lady what to do?"

These days the body is unwell, and they are lying on the bed and will be raising them. These people are quite strict. If they know that this fool Xue is so stubborn, reckless and brainless, causing trouble for nothing, she will say nothing about Baoyu's marriage. Can't nod so neatly, such a disaster, no matter how clever Bao girl is, she won't be a close relative.

"Old lady, it's not that we don't report it. It's because the old lady is in poor health and shouldn't think too much. If she hurts her body, it's the younger generation's sin." Seeing Jia's mother's anger, Aunt Xue quickly explained: "This is the same. Alright, seeing that evil animal is about to come out, who would have thought that there would be another disturbance, so I begged the old lady."

"Mrs. Xue's family, don't blame the old lady for speaking harshly. This is because your family has an accident first, and my family's marriage is later. Although Baoyu's marriage is his mother's decision, but he grew up in front of me since he was a child. It hurts him, but one or two words can still be said. The Xue family's behavior is suspected of cheating the marriage. This is taking advantage of my family." Jia Mu's expression was very cold, and with Xue Baochai's family background, Baoyu actually It's the best choice, such a clinging, stupid woman like Wang is rushing to get married.

She almost pointed her nose and scolded after a while, Aunt Xue's face turned red and white, she couldn't help secretly hating herself for being useless, even Baochai couldn't lift her head up.

Here Mrs. Wang also sensed Jiamu's cold eyes, heard the sarcasm in her words, accelerated the speed of playing with the beads in her hand, and secretly scolded that little whore of the Lin family, because she didn't want Baoyu to be better, and deliberately came to harm him.But there was a look of helplessness on the face: "Old lady, this matter is not considered Brother Pan's fault, this child is more realistic, how could he have thought that the bartender would be so tricky, and something would happen by mistake. This natural and man-made disaster cannot be avoided by manpower, which one has nothing to do that year, since the master and brother tadpole are done, let him go there."

Mrs. Wang really didn't understand the meaning of Jia Mu's words, and said to herself: "My niece listens to you the most, so you can ask someone to tell her to spare her brother this time." He breathed a sigh of relief: "That girl has been away for almost a year, it is reasonable to take care of her own family, and it is better to worry less about her family's affairs."

It's not a serious family, is it worth running a few times a year?It seems real.

Mother Jia felt a pain in her chest, pointed at Wang and said, "Do you really think that I don't know what's going on in your heart? For you, a relative who is not on the table, I asked Yuanyang to take me away. That's to send my grandson out." Push, she is a young daughter-in-law, it's hard to do, how can she get a foothold in her husband's house in the future, you let her spare her brother who didn't know how many detours, why don't you consider her one or two difficulties."

"Old lady, what you said is killing me. How can I not be considerate of her? It has nothing to do with her. I didn't ask her husband's family to help when something happened a few days ago. Let's settle it by ourselves. Today How difficult is it to just tell her to close her eyes and plug her ears? The old lady is so eccentric."

There were all the guests and servants, Wang only felt that the old godly woman deliberately slapped her in the face.

"The big fool Jinling killed people. Who in our family doesn't know? Did you see that Miss Lin went to sue the government? She went to tell her in-laws? That girl has a cold appearance, and the most important thing in her heart is love. It's your Xue family's bad luck. , Tell her a man happened to see her, she is a girl, can she still stop the men outside from doing things?"

"Old lady" Mrs. Wang softened her face, and said: "Since she is Miss Lin's son-in-law, they are all in the same family. Why do you have to make such an ugly scene, and the empress in the palace also has a dull face? Mrs. Ming is a young man, full of righteous indignation, and Since he has just entered the court and is eager to make meritorious service, it is inevitable that he will be less concerned about the overall situation. We elders have to persuade him not to let him make small mistakes. Since it is the fate of in-laws, it is right to watch and help each other."

"Why don't I know this." At this point, Mother Jia couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "I've already gone to call. I see that Ming's brother has some affection for Yu'er. If you want to throw a mouse, you have to think about it."

"Thank you, old lady, for your understanding." Aunt Xue didn't dare to intervene, and she let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Mother Jia was relieved.

"Baoyu is the grandson I love the most. His marriage can't be sloppy. Since the two families haven't exchanged tokens, we should think carefully. I can't harm that child."

Aunt Xue was startled, and she was about to speak, but seeing Wang's envoy's expression, she shut her mouth resentfully: "The old lady said so."

Now is not the time to talk, it's not too late to plan after the limelight.

At the same time, Jingsong Garden in the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Xu patted his wife on the back, sighed: "I'm the one who made things difficult for Yu'er."

"It's not you who make me difficult, but I who make you difficult." Daiyu wiped away her tears, stood up and said softly.

"No, I didn't make things difficult." Mingxu held Daiyu's face, looked at her washed eyes and said earnestly, "I never thought of compromising from the very beginning, and I was prepared to wrong Yu'er from the very beginning." He Then he sighed again.

"Yu'er is smart, I don't need to say what the old lady is up to, so I won't let you go back"

"So, go on your own, I'll go back to her."

"Let's wait for this matter, I will accompany Yu'er to come to the door to make amends in person."

"No, you didn't do anything wrong, so why make an apology."

Seeing Daiyu's back disappearing outside the door, Mingxu turned and went to the study.

……

"Did you check the matter clearly? Are there any mistakes?" Ming Su frowned slightly after hearing what his son said.

"I asked Ji Yang to investigate. The county magistrate closed the case hastily and improperly. It can't stand the scrutiny." Ming Xu shook his head, "Recently there have been many disturbances in the harem, and the previous court was also affected. Impatient, or lucky, fish in troubled waters."

"This matter has something to do with your daughter-in-law's ancestral family. It's better to settle it earlier. I wrote a note for my father today and handed it in tomorrow." Ming Su nodded, trusting his son's ability to handle affairs.

"Please trouble father, son will go back first."

Back in Jingsong Garden, the atmosphere was a bit delicate, the servants acted softly, trying to avoid talking, and when he came back, he also saluted silently.Seeing him coming back, Chang An at the door gave him a hasty wink.

Ming Xu smiled, but he didn't expect his little daughter-in-law to have such prestige as the hostess in the courtyard. When one person gets angry, the whole courtyard trembles, fearing that something bad will happen.

Going straight into the inner room, Daiyu was sitting on the couch playing with an embroidery frame, with no expression of joy or anger.Mingxu leaned over and sat down, took away the work she was doing and threw it into the basket, and said with a smile: "I'm absent-minded, so I'm not afraid of pricking my hands."

Daiyu was sad, not because people guessed she was angry with Mingxu, but because she was hurt by Jia's mother's choice, she said to Mingxu, "I knew from the beginning that my grandmother loved Baoyu more, but she always loved Baoyu more. Treat me well, but what does she mean this time?"

As she spoke, tears came down again: "It's just because I still have some weight in your heart, and I used it to force you to compromise, but if I really go back to the house to see her, and you insist on investigating and reporting this matter, is it possible Are you still betting on my life?"

Mingxu wiped her tears, and said with a smile: "Qingqing has more than one or two weights in my heart. The old lady is getting old, so she is inevitably confused. Besides, that's all there is to it. ?”

"You're saying I'm ruthless!"

"Yu'er misunderstood me, how dare I? Could it be that I didn't understand clearly with the old lady's people just now? I didn't allow you to go to Jia's mansion. Could it be that Yu'er still has wings?" Mingxu said, looking at Zijuan .

Zijuan hurriedly explained: "Grandpa, we made it clear, but I'm afraid of the old lady, she won't believe it, you didn't see the expression on Miss Bao's face when she left."

Speaking of this, Daiyu smiled wryly: "In the past, I had the most contact with her in my boudoir, and it was an excellent friendship. Now she comes to ask, but it is difficult to think about it. It is obviously the injustice caused by their family, but it seems that I have done something evil. thing."

"I'm afraid Yu'er doesn't know. I will go back to Beijing the year before last, and I met Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu in a restaurant. We had a few words, and finally we broke up." Ming Xu brushed Daiyu's hair: "As the saying goes, if you're different, you don't conspire with each other. You're not in the same way. Why should Yu'er force herself?"

To put it bluntly, Xue's family is a merchant family, how can they be promoted to Daiyu, the county lord and respected after the important officials.Although Jia's family is a family of Zhongming Dingshi, but they were born in noble families, and it is difficult to say that they are in the same place as the scholarly Lin family of the era.

"Easier said than done."

"If Yu'er is unhappy, why don't you go to find your grandmother to play cards, she can stay in Beijing after all, and Yu'er will accompany me to accompany her." Let's find something to do, so as not to think about it.

The Jia family did not expect Mingxu and Daiyu to refuse so quickly, and when Wang got the news of being rejected, she said to Aunt Xue beside her, "Don't panic, it's not a matter of a while, today It's already too late. I'll persuade the old lady to go to Ming's house early tomorrow morning. Isn't this a good thing? The old lady usually takes care of the big and small matters in the house, but today she asked her grandson to slap her face. It is definitely recorded, so it is easy to handle this matter."

"I understand that girl Baochai is eager to save her brother, but she is a child, what can she do, it's better not to run outside, then Xia Shi, you should also control it, and what will happen every day." Wang said lightly.

"What my sister said is that I will go back and talk to Bao girl and tell her to cherish herself. That shrew of the Xia family really gave me a headache. She is half-reasonable and has a vicious heart. There is nothing I can do about it. "Aunt Xue felt bitter when she mentioned family affairs.

"As a daughter-in-law, she can still ride on your head? If you can control her, you can control your son, and there will be less trouble."

"Sister said yes."

……

Mrs. Wang thought very well, but she didn't want Mingsu and Hedi to act very quickly. In the middle of the second day, Jia Zheng received a reprimand from the emperor in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and he was directly dismissed from his position and ordered him to reflect behind closed doors. , stay at home.

The county magistrate who tried Xue Pan's case was directly demoted to a commoner, and his superior temporarily acted as county magistrate to retrial Xue Pan's murder case.

The emperor didn't show any face to Jia Zheng, the concubine's father, and directly asked Xiao Huangmen to go to the yamen to read the oral order. In front of many colleagues, Jia Zheng was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, he passed out and was carried back.

But here, the Wang family and Wang Xifeng are still trying their best to persuade Mother Jia to go to Mingfu, so that Mingxu can stop and ignore this matter.At first glance, I heard that the boy came to report that "the master has been brought back".They were all taken aback, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

"Master was in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and suddenly he heard that the inner minister brought the emperor's oral order to ask, saying that our master has neglected his duties, bribed, and shielded suspects. He deeply owed the trust of the emperor and the imperial concubine. He was dismissed from office and returned home to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors." The servant was quite clever, and he made it clear in a few words.

Mrs. Wang almost fainted, turned to look at Mother Jia, and saw the old lady pointing at herself and shouting, "Sin, you do, you stupid woman poisoned my son." She rolled her eyes and fell into a convulsion.

Rongxi Hall suddenly became a mess.
