[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

In order to make up for the shortfall in the family's books, Jia's mother discussed with her son, daughter-in-law and grandson and grandson many times, but to no avail.When Li Wan was discussing for the first time, facing Jia Mu's questioning, he pretended to faint and hid in desperation, and refused to show up anyway under the pretext of poor health on such occasions.Jia Zheng didn't say a word about this, and Mrs. Wang even cried to Jia Zhu when she saw someone bring the topic to Li Wan... In the end, everyone had no choice but to acquiesce in Li Wan's absence.It's just that no one is a fool, but Li Wan is rich but hides and refuses to pay. It is obvious that the second wife is benefiting, so the big house is dissatisfied, and even more unwilling to take out the money, so the matter has been delayed like this.

Jiamu and the others are not in a hurry, not in a hurry, but it does not mean that the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are patient and able to wait, so half a month after the siege, after breakfast, Luochun and Mrs. Xing went to greet Jiamu , When I arrived at the gate of Jia Mu's courtyard, I saw Lai's daughter-in-law rushing over, shouting as she ran, "Old lady, madam, no...it's not good! Prince Zhongshun came in with a lot of soldiers outside, and rummaged through the boxes. Cage to get something."

When Luochun heard this, she dragged Mrs. Xing who hadn't reacted yet, and ran to the big room. While running, she said, "Mother, hurry up, go back to the room and pack up the things you want to take away..." At the intersection, Luochun pushed Mrs. Xing urged, "Mother, what are you still dawdling about? Don't hurry up." The voice was soft, and she had already jumped out. She ran back to her yard in three steps at a time, entered the house, and opened the door. The cabinet, without looking at it, puts the contents into the space, and when the cabinet is empty, turns around and goes straight to the dressing table, and puts the jewelry box and the dressing box into the space together... Stand still in the center of the room, look around, After combing the room from inside to outside, I felt that there was nothing missing, so I turned and ran to Mrs. Xing.

Ignoring the panicked servants running around on the road, she entered Mrs. Xing's room out of breath, and saw Mrs. Xing taking out the clothes from the closet, packing a lot of bags.Seeing that Mrs. Xing packed up all the summer clothes she was wearing now, Luochun couldn't help but shook her head, stepped forward, stopped Mrs. Xing, and said: "Whenever, mother still cares about her solar terms, at this time, naturally, what is it worth?" What are you packing?" Mrs. Xing suddenly realized, she threw away the gauze in her hand, took out a furoshiki of jade-colored red and green camel hair, and wrapped it with winter fur clothes.

When Mrs. Xing was busy, Luochun was not idle, opened Mrs. Xing's jewelry box, took out the dragon and phoenix gold bracelet that was pressed at the bottom of the box, and put it on her hand.After putting the bracelet on his hand, Luochun began to push it hard on his arm. After it was tightened, he tried to shake his hand, but it didn't fall off.

Mrs. Xing saw Luochun's movements out of the corner of her eyes, and hurriedly said: "You were quite understanding just now, why are you confused now, there are more valuable jewelry in this box, if you don't take it, why are you so confused?" If you turn this shit out, it's nothing at all except that it's made of gold and weighs a little bit."

"I know." Of course what Mrs. Xing said Luo Chun knew, but could she think so.Mrs. Xing's jewelry box has much more jewelry than this light and valuable one. Rongguo Mansion, as the residence of the Marquis, is no different from those ignorant upstarts outside. Inlaid with beads and jewels, it is fashionable and bright, and looks rich and connotative.But most of the value of these jewelry is in the manufacturing skills, if it is to be folded, it will not be sold at a high price.This bracelet is unbelievably bulky. Under normal circumstances, people would definitely laugh at it if it was worn out, but now it is not a normal situation. This bracelet is despised as jewelry, but it can be melted and used as gold.

Time was urgent, and Luochun couldn't explain so much to Mrs. Xing, so she just searched through the jewelry box and put a lot of gold and jade jewelry on Mrs. Xing's head, and she didn't forget herself.Seeing Luochun, Mrs. Xing didn't listen, and she took out the jewelry that was always laughed at by the people in the house and put it on her head. Although Mrs. Xing couldn't see her appearance, she looked at Luochun's full head Jewelry, with a dazzling golden look, I knew that I was not much different from her, so I sighed helplessly and said, "Look at your head, what it looks like, it looks like a hedgehog." , wanting to pull out a few of the golden hairpins and pearl hairpins on her head.

Luo Chun stopped Mrs. Xing, and took advantage of the opportunity to put a string of seven-color gem and pearl bracelets on Mrs. Xing's hands, and said nonchalantly: "A hedgehog is a hedgehog, it's better than a skinned lamb." Mrs. Xing listened After reading it, I didn't understand what it meant, and was about to ask what Luochun meant, when several officers and soldiers broke in, yelled and drove all the people in the yard aside, and searched inside and out of the house, Mrs. Xing Seeing that the house was turned into a mess, I couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?"

Among them, a person who seems to be a little leader stood up and said: "We are ordered by the prince to search all the houses to make up for the deficit in the house's account." Mrs. Xing looked at the sheep fat jade that was exposed in the pocket of the little leader. At the corner of the card, I saw that these soldiers were busy hugging things in their arms one by one since they entered the house, pointing to a soldier whose arms were bulging, and said angrily: "This is to fill the shortfall in the account." Does it look like it? I’m afraid it’s all stuffed into my arms, right?”

The soldier with his chest full of things squinted at Mrs. Xing, and said, "Hey, with this gesture, heh, do you still think of yourself as Mrs. Hou's mansion?" He said with a bah, "I just took it. What can you do to me? Let me tell you, the uncle would look down on you if he took a little of your things, otherwise, I would give it to me for nothing, and I don’t even bother to look at it!" After speaking, several soldiers looked at each other and laughed loudly stand up.

Mrs. Xing was belittled by these big soldiers who she didn't even look at in normal times, trembling with anger, stared at the soldier fiercely, and said: "You guys, don't go too far!" The little leader said contemptuously Smiling, he said: "Hey, it's still exciting. This downcast phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. Let me tell you, I have seen people like you a lot. Earlier, you were regarded as the mansion of Houmen, and you were high above you, but now the mansion Li resigned a long time ago, why not us, why are you still putting us on the airs of a first-class lady here!" Looking Madam Xing up and down, her eyes lit up, and said: "Hehe, I didn't pay attention to it just now, and then I realized that there is something wrong with you! There are a lot of good things." As he said that, he walked up to him and pulled out the hairpin jewelry on Mrs. Xing's head.

Facing the hand extended by the little leader, Mrs. Xing couldn't help taking a step back, and screamed: "You, what are you going to do? My master is just going to be a nobleman, not to rob the house. What you are doing is not right, it is against the emperor's order." Decree..." The little leader quickly pulled off the jewelry on Mrs. Xing's head, and said with a sneer: "What decree is against it? We are now following the order of Prince Zhongshun to help your family make up for the deficit. Originally, the emperor Your kindness has given you a lot of time, but in the end, relying on the mercy of the emperor, you did nothing, and we brothers were so tired that we stood outside the gate for so many days. You are just ordinary people now, what can you do? Wake us up, our brothers can't suffer in vain, we have to find some subsidies, even the prince didn't say anything, what are you talking about here! Keep talking, be careful I will let you go around!"

"Boss, well done! Haha." The soldier who came with the little leader gave a thumbs up and booed. "You, you——" Mrs. Xing blushed with anger, "You, you guys are really deceiving people!" The little chief was busy putting away the jewelry that was taken from Mrs. Xing's head, perhaps because of the rich harvest and good mood , So I added a word, and said with a sneer: "This is unbearable, yes, the feeling of falling from the sky is really uncomfortable, hehe, if you don't adapt quickly, you will still suffer in the future."

"Boss, you eat meat, you have to give us some soup." Watching the little chief put away all the jewelry he got from Mrs. Xing, the other soldiers who came together were a little dissatisfied, so they said.The little leader pointed to Luochun and said: "Then I will leave one for you, this is enough for you to share." The soldiers turned their eyes to Luochun, thanked the little leader with a smile, and then pushed out one person to let He came to take off the jewelry on Chun's head.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing was so angry that her eyes were about to burst, she was furious, and just about to speak, Luochun stretched out her hand and pulled her sleeve, whispering in a low voice: "Mother, calm down, what can I do with them other than getting angry with them for nothing?" Come? The situation is not up to you, and those who know the current affairs are the best." Mrs. Xing was taken aback for a moment, then came to her senses, gritted her teeth, stared at these soldiers unkindly, but never spoke again.

"Don't bother this soldier, I'll do it myself." Luo Chun didn't wait for the soldier who came forward to reach out, and said with a smile, pulled off all the jewelry from his head, and put it in the soldier's hand.The little leader smiled and said: "The little girl is quite sensible." He glanced at Mrs. Xing who was silent at the side, and said, "It would be great if your mother was as sensible as you. In this case, you will save trouble. I save trouble, everyone saves trouble, and saves anger." Madam Xing bit her cheek tightly and said nothing.

Seeing Mrs. Xing's reaction, the little leader smiled and said, "It would have been better if it had been like this earlier." Then he ordered the soldiers: "Okay, after finishing the idle business, it's time to get down to business. Compare the slaves and servants in the yard with the roster, all Deposit it for me, and no one is allowed to escape! The hired people are driven out, and the bought ones enter the officials first, waiting to be sold."

Gathering the servants in the yard, the little leader reached out his hand to Mrs. Xing and Luochun in a gesture of "please", and said, "You two, please come with me." Walking ahead to lead the way, Mrs. Xing She acted very calmly, pulling Luochun to follow, but the veins in the hand that was pulling Luochun burst out, revealing the tension in her heart.On the way, the two met Jia Cong.Jia Cong's face was full of tears, and his eyes were full of panic. When he saw Mrs. Xing and Luo Chun, his eyes lit up, and he shouted timidly: "Madam, Sixth Sister." Mrs. Xing snorted, ignored Jia Cong, Luo Chun Facing Jia Cong's comforting smile, he stretched out his hand, and Jia Cong hurriedly put his hand on it.

Mrs. Xing, Luochun and Jia Cong followed the little leader to Rongxi hall. They saw Jiamu and Mrs. Wang holding Baoyu, Li Wan holding Jialan, Sister Feng standing next to Ping'er who was holding the eldest sister, and Aunt Zhao leading the way. Jia Huan, as well as Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun who were standing together, Mrs. Xing led Luochun and Jia Cong and stood there silently.The atmosphere was stagnant and heavy.

Seeing everyone's panic-stricken faces, Luo Chun's thoughts were vague, and he suddenly thought of the day when Yuan Chun became a concubine.That day, the people were so tidy, but the final result of that day was that the whole house was full of joy. Today, no matter what, they couldn't be happy anymore; then I thought of Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian who were in front of me. I didn't know they and Prince Zhongshun How are you negotiating?
