Red Mansions: No Tears

Chapter 79 Epilogue

?In the afternoon of the day when the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion was released with grace, Lin Daiyu and Zhao Hua, who had been staying at Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing for a while, got the news and immediately returned to the capital without saying a word.

No matter how beautiful the scenery on the outskirts of Beijing is, no matter how delicious the food at Zhuangzi is, after watching it for a long time, it is actually nothing more than mediocre, so after only staying for two or three days, Lin Daiyu and Aunt Zhao Hua couldn't help but feel a little bored. It's also because they don't have any elders to oppress them at home, so they don't need to make up their minds sooner or later. Except for necessary housework and human relations, they are free most of the time, and they don't have the pressure to serve their in-laws like other daughter-in-laws. I don't have any special experience in life. If Zhao Hua hadn't said that she must be sure that the Rongguo Mansion would not come to make trouble before she could go back, Lin Daiyu would have wanted to go home a long time ago. How indifferent, she couldn't take advantage of her sister-in-law's kindness, so she endured it for so many days.

After returning home, of course, Lin Daiyu couldn't pretend that she never knew that someone came to Jia's house, not to mention that the story of Jia's being raided had spread all over the capital. As a granddaughter and niece, she couldn't justify not paying attention , so as soon as he came back, he asked someone to tell Wang Xifeng that he would visit him the next day.

However, Wang Xifeng told the dispatcher that she asked Lin Daiyu to see the old lady in two days. Lin Daiyu was a little puzzled when she heard the words, but at dusk, she knew the reason.

Jia's mother's first-class imperial order was also deprived by the emperor's decree. The reason was that she was incapable of teaching her son. She allowed the second son to live in the main courtyard for many years, but the eldest son lived in a corner. , and there is another one, deliberately conspiring to seize the Lin family's property.

It is said that before Mother Jia received the imperial decree, she was busy scolding Jia She and his son, asking them to send someone to find Jia Baoyu and come back. She also said that if Jia Baoyu could not be found, they would be unfilial to their children and grandchildren, and said they would go to Jingzhao Mansion They were accused of disobedience there, but unfortunately, after hearing the content of the imperial decree, she passed out again.

Seeing that Jia's mother passed out again, Jia pardoned Jia Lian, and both father and son flicked their sleeves and went about their own business. As for looking for Jia Baoyu?Who still has an empty tube? !They have to be busy with relocation, and there are hundreds of servants in this mansion. They can no longer support them due to their status. They have to find human teeth to sell, which is a piece of money anyway.

"Baoyu... Is my Baoyu back? Mandarin ducks! Glass! Amber!" When Mother Jia became conscious again, her first reaction was naturally to care for her precious grandson, but she always felt a little powerless and could only mumble in her mouth. She yelled for someone, and after several times, she seemed to hear the voice of the mandarin duck coming from afar. She still complained in her heart, wouldn't the mandarin duck always stay by her side?How dare you be so dereliction of duty today?Could it be that she didn't obey her orders because she didn't have a first-rank order?

Naturally, Mother Jia didn't know that the current Jia family didn't say they couldn't invite the imperial physician, and even some famous doctors were unwilling to come, so after she fainted this time, although Li Wan immediately sent someone out to invite the doctor, he was in a daze looking for the doctor. Not a single doctor was willing to go to the mansion for diagnosis and treatment. Yuanyang has always been loyal to Jia Mu. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but panic for a long time. She was afraid that Jia Mu would not wake up from now on, and the elder would take the opportunity to make trouble for her, so she had to run out by herself. Looking for someone to call for a doctor, just turned back to the yard at this moment and heard Jiamu's shouting, so she hurried in to serve him.

"The old lady is awake! Are you feeling better? Do you want some water?...Old lady?" Yuanyang came to the bed and yelled several times, but found that Jiamu didn't seem to respond. She frowned slightly and called again. With a sound.

"Bao, Baoyu... have you found, found it?" Mother Jia woke up again in a daze, shaking her head slowly, and only remembered to ask this question.

"Second Master Bao...hasn't been found yet. Master and Second Master Lian have already sent people out to look for it. Grandma Zhu sent someone to invite a doctor. She hasn't come here yet. The old lady should rest for a while." Yuanyang The more I looked at it, the more I felt that there was something wrong with Jia's mother, and I thought that I must invite a doctor to come and take a look.

"No need, I just want to see Baoyu. When I see Baoyu, the lord must have not sent someone to find Baoyu and come back. Let, let Brother Lian come and see me!" .

"Old lady..." Yuanyang looked at the old lady with a troubled face. How could she say that the people in the house are in turmoil at the moment, and many people have lost their minds to do things? It's because Rongguo's mansion can't live anymore, so within three days, all the extra servants in the mansion will be sold, leaving only the maids that the masters need to use, and a few women in the kitchen.

"Quick... go!" Mother Jia didn't want to hear anything else Yuanyang said, so she waved her hand vigorously and shouted tremblingly.

Yuanyang had no choice but to grit her teeth and walk out again.

Not long after Yuanyang left, Li Wan, Jia Tanchun and others also heard that Jia Mu had woken up, and they all came to ask for their safety and concern. What a good result he got, and it made Jia's mother even more unstable, and she fainted from anger again.

He also said that at this time, Xue Baochai saw that the situation of Jia's family was not as good as before. Mrs. Wang's situation in prison was not good. Even Jia Baoyu was missing. She had to persuade her mother to make plans to go back to Jinling, but Aunt Xue felt distressed. After spending a lot of money, and feeling sorry for her daughter, after waiting for so many years, Jia Baoyu disappeared without a word. What kind of good family can her daughter marry in the future?

Xue Baochai didn't take it seriously, and could only say that time is also a matter of luck. Anyway, she had lost all care for that soft-footed shrimp-like Jia Baoyu, and thought that when she went back to Jinling, she might not be able to find her with her talent and appearance. People, why bother waiting here for an unknown hope?

Aunt Xue couldn't resist her daughter's insistence, and her son echoed her proposal, so after thinking about it for only two days, she said goodbye to Jia's family, and the family went back to Jinling.

Xue Pan here is still the same lecherous bastard, but he was not caught by someone because he got into a lawsuit again. At the same time, he found out the previous murder case. Of course... he was not married. , Lin Yu somehow persuaded a poor student in the academy to marry her, and because that student was smarter than Xue Pan, and the elders in the family were much better than Aunt Xue, and knew how to deal with such a shrew, so There was no news.

Lin Yu's little move, according to his own explanation, is that although Xue Baochai looks dull and scheming, it is also forced by the environment, and her brother is as good as himself, and she has a good brother. It won't be the same as the original book, only wanting to marry that idiot Jia Baoyu, and then end up with the fate of being a widow in the early years, and it just so happens that the classmate's family is short of money. Xiaodi, Xiaoxiaodi revealed that there is a good wife candidate, as for whether the marriage will be successful or not, it has nothing to do with him, really!It doesn't matter at all!

This time, on the one hand, because of the sudden loss of the first-rank imperial seal, there was inevitably a feeling of humiliation in her heart, and on the other hand, because there was no news of Baoyu's disappearance, Mother Jia naturally no longer fainted like she did a few days ago. Dizzy, it’s that simple when I wake up, the doctor I finally invited told everyone that because Jiamu was old and was hit again and again, her body bones could no longer withstand the next blow, and even if she took care of it, it might not be effective. .

Hearing what the doctor said, Li Wan couldn't help but frowned slightly. The confiscated property was less than half returned, and all of them belonged to the big house. According to the doctor, even if she really wanted to take care of her, she would have to spend a lot of money... Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly glanced at Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng.

Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, of course understood what the doctor meant, but they didn't intend to take the job. Although they didn't have any desire for the old lady to die soon, but thinking that the old lady had reached this stage, they said Jia Baoyu was still the only one who was caught, and he didn't think about the life and death of other people at all, so he felt that it made them feel cold. Since their hearts are cold, why would they want to give any affection for each other?

Even Lin Daiyu, who came to see Jia's mother, was held by Jia's mother, and she repeatedly asked Lin Daiyu to agree to her. In the future, no matter what, she would help Jia Baoyu to succeed and help the Jia family to stand up again.

Of course, it was impossible for Lin Daiyu to agree to such a thing. If the Jia family still had one or two promising prospects, she wouldn't mind helping out at the right time, but helping Jia Baoyu out?That's asking for trouble, right?Moreover, she felt that Jia Baoyu might have been renounced by the rumored monk and would never come back, so she still didn't nod in the end to agree to Jiamu's unreasonable request.

Jia's mother was very unwilling. Judging from Lin Daiyu's perfunctory attitude, she believed that everyone looked down on her as an old woman because she was taken away by the emperor, and she might even wish that she died sooner. They can also carve up the body she left behind, hum!Those people think well!She just won't die, she has to wait!Waiting for Baoyu to come back, her things can only be given to Baoyu, and if Baoyu doesn't have those silver coins, how will she live in the future~

It's a pity that Mother Jia waited until the day when she closed her eyes and could no longer open them again, but she still didn't wait for her precious grandson to come back, she only waited for a message from somewhere that said "Second Master Bao has become a monk!" 'The rumors... It was precisely because this rumor became the last straw that overwhelmed Jia Mu. That night, Jia Mu finally died of hatred because she couldn't vomit the depression in her chest and mouth.

When the Jia family was shocked by Jiamu's passing away and plunged into chaos early the next morning, Li Wan and Wang Xifeng also heard this strange rumor from a rough envoy in Jiamu's courtyard. Several of the servants were gone, but they couldn't find out who the suspicious person who passed this sentence to Jia Mu's ears was.

The two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia that the Jia family relied on were wiped out in a day because of the raids. Jia Amnesty was the luckiest one, but he lost his title and official position, and the emperor could return some of his family property. Although Zheng's two sons were not implicated because of their innocence, he himself was implicated by the emperor on the basis that husband and wife were one. Mrs. Wang was beheaded after Qiuhou. Jia Zhenjia Rong and others from Ningguo Mansion were sentenced to exile to the Northwest Absolute Region. On the day they were escorted out of Beijing, although Jia Amnesty had lingering resentment for their crimes, he still let Jia Lian go. Give them a ride.

Although the Jia family can still live a stable life today, in the eyes of the princes and princes in the capital, it is no different from being ruined. How can anyone bother to sneak into Jia's house to make trouble?Even when Lin Daiyu and Lin Yu got together, they couldn't think of anyone who would do such a thing. In the end, they could only guess that it might be Jia Mu's former enemy. Knowing that Jia Mu was dying, they deliberately used this method It's not impossible to force her to death, after much deliberation, you must know that Mother Jia was also cruel when she was young, otherwise, how could all the aunts around the old Duke not die well?It's just that there is no such person at the other end of Jia's house, and of course Lin Daiyu will not interfere in other people's housework.

Mother Jia's funeral was not a good one, but because only Jia She was left in Rongning and Ningxia, Mrs. Xing was not in charge and couldn't control her stepson and daughter-in-law. Under the protection of Jia Amnesty's family, she dared not say anything, so Wang Xifeng was not accused by several top elders of not doing enough for Jia's mother like in the original book.

When Lin Daiyu came to pay homage to Jia Mu, Wang Xifeng specifically asked her to stay, and at the same time told her that after the eldest family helped Ling back to Jinling, they did not plan to return to the capital for the time being, but the house in the capital had to be kept, after all Jia Lan is still determined to prepare for the imperial examination, and she also intends to train her and Jia Lian's child, Jia Bi, so that one day in the future, Jia Huai will return to the capital with Jia's family style, so this house will still be useful .

"Actually, it means that we will not come back, but it is impossible that no one will come to Beijing, and many people from the side branches of the Jia family still choose to stay in the capital. Of course, the second master and I have nothing to say. I said I want to stay, so I will leave it to them to take care of the house for the time being. I can trust their husband and wife, but... Sister Lin also knows that if you don't have some backing, everything will be difficult. It's light, that's why I have the cheek to ask Sister Lin, if the members of the Jia family encounter any difficulties in the capital, unless they have committed a crime, please ask Brother Lin and Uncle Lin to help." Wang Xifeng was straightforward, saying a few words Just say what you want to ask.

Lin Daiyu thought about it for a while, and felt that this was not a difficult task, so she happily replied, "Second sister-in-law Lian, don't worry, just like you said, if they didn't commit the catastrophe themselves, in case someone troubles them, It's not a big deal to ask my husband and elder brother to help out. As for what my elder brother said at the beginning to cut off contact, it was because he was angry with the old lady for going too far. Anyway, Duke Zhen has helped and recovered a lot of things, and the old lady has also Returning west with a crane, naturally there is no need to implicate other clansmen."

"With your words, I'm relieved." Wang Xifeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that as long as Lin Daiyu was willing to intercede, Jiang Ke and Lin Yu would listen to Lin Daiyu. This was much more useful than asking Jia Lian to go to those two people to intercede. .

Lin Daiyu smiled, and asked Wang Xifeng when they were going to help Jia Mu's coffin back to Jinling, and then said goodbye to Wang Xifeng.

A few days later, Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Jia Huan and Jia Lan rode horses, Mrs. Xing, You Shi, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, Jia Tanchun and Jia Xichun equinox rode in two carriages. The group slowly left the capital. After watching the smoke and dust raised by the horse's hooves gradually dissipate, she turned around and got into her own carriage.
