The prison of the Ministry of Justice is in the west city, while Taohua Hutong is in the east city, the distance is not close.Fortunately, after Jia Huan said goodbye to Second Young Master Li, he didn't feel that time passed slowly.Before the words were finished, the car had already stopped, and the coachman said outside: "Second young master, we have arrived at Peach Blossom Alley. This alley is narrow, and carriages are not allowed to enter."
Jia Huan got out of the carriage by himself, and Second Young Master Li also got out of the carriage.Jia Huan saluted and said goodbye: "Thank you second brother for seeing me off. My grandfather's house is small, so I won't invite second brother to sit in."
Then the second young master Li didn't think it was disobedient: "It's okay, you go, I'll watch you enter the door here and leave."He was going to take Jia Huan away if Jia Huan's grandfather refused to accept him.
Jia Huan also knew what he meant, and gave another deep gift, hugged the package by himself, and walked to the door of Zhao's house.The gate of the courtyard was closed, so Jia Huan had to open the door.A female voice from inside the door asked, "Who is it?"
Hearing this voice, Jia Huan yelled: "Mother? Mother! Is it you? I'm Huan'er." Second Young Master Li suddenly heard Jia Huan's call, and he didn't know what happened, so he also led the coachman into the alley.
There was only a moment of hesitation in the door, and the door was already opened, and the person looking out was either Aunt Zhao or someone else.Aunt Zhao was stunned when she saw Jia Huan, and immediately rushed forward to hug her son: "Huan'er, my Huan'er, it's really you, am I dreaming?" fell down.
Jia Huan was also heartbroken. The person who thought that he might not be able to find it after all his efforts, now appeared in front of his eyes alive. This surprise was greater than his own freedom.
"Brother Huan?" Seeing that the two of them were crying in the street, and a neighbor opened the door to see what happened, Second Young Master Li couldn't help reminding Jia Huan.
Jia Huan was reminded, she quickly put away her tears, and said to Aunt Zhao: "Mother, this is Li Erge from Li Shilang's family, he is the one who picked me up."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhao didn't even care to wipe away her tears, she knelt down and kowtowed to Second Young Master Li in a hurry: "Thank you Second Young Master. We will never forget your great kindness." While speaking, she kowtowed five or six times.
Second Young Master Li suddenly felt embarrassed, neither hiding nor suffering.Jia Huan saw that he was uncomfortable, so he helped Aunt Zhao up: "Mother, let's go to the hospital and talk about it. Brother Li, please come in and have a cup of tea."
Then the second young master Li saw how Aunt Zhao was so pitiful, so he knew why Jia Huan never forgot his aunt, and was also a little curious about how Aunt Zhao could appear here - he heard that the slaves of Jia's mansion were sold by others. It was in time, but Aunt Zhao couldn't be found. How did this family find her?
Aunt Zhao looked behind the two of them again, and asked tentatively, "Master didn't come back with you?"
Jia Huan smiled wryly in his heart. Jia Zheng was ruthless to Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao still missed him, so he said: "I am exonerated because of Mr. Li's efforts. It will take some time."
Aunt Zhao was a little disappointed.Fortunately, after this disaster in prison, he finally knew that there were some things he couldn't say, so he only asked Nei Yan to invite Second Young Master Li: "You are a small family, let Second Young Master laugh at you."
The few people had just entered the yard when another woman dressed up came out: "Auntie, I heard your name Huan'er in a daze just now, but does Huan'er have a letter?"
Spring? !Jia Huan felt that there must be something wrong with the way he got out of the prison. How could unexpected people appear in Zhao's house?Just as he was thinking, Zhao Guoji's voice also came over: "Sister, don't worry, I'll go inquire tomorrow and find out the way. Brother Huan?!!"
It turned out that Zhao Guoji was faster than Yingchun, and he had already found Jia Huan standing in the yard.Aunt Zhao scolded him: "Don't yell, quickly let Huan'er into the house and fetch him some water to wash."
At this time, Yingchun has also arrived. Seeing Jia Huan, she shed tears without saying a word: "Huan'er, you are back."
Jia Huan also didn't care to catch up with everyone, so he invited Second Young Master Li to sit in the main room first, and then let Zhao Guoji accompany him, and he had to find a place to wash up first.At this time, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother had also come out, and there were people standing in the yard for a while.Second Young Master Li knew that it was not a good time to talk, so he hurriedly said goodbye: "I will have time to talk in the future, after you settle down, you must go and see your sister Lin."
Jia Huan and others couldn't keep him, so they had to send him out of the house again, and only returned after watching the car go far away.In the end, Jia Huan had to wash up first, and then put on the clothes Daiyu had prepared, before sitting down and talking to everyone.
He first asked Aunt Zhao: "I asked the second young master in prison to redeem my mother. But he told me that on the day of the sale, my mother was not found. I don't know who it is. Why is your mother at grandma's house?"
Aunt Zhao told him what is the great wisdom of a small person: Father Zhao has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the people since he heard that the Rongguo Mansion ransacked the house. , is a way to sell.So before the news of the sale came out, the old man had already started to make friends with the guards who guarded Aunt Zhao's group.As soon as the news of the sale came out, Zhao's father knew the news before the Li family.
So Father Zhao discussed with the caretaker if he could redeem the daughter in advance by himself, even if he added some money.He was also afraid of being tricked by others, so he asked the guard not to reveal himself.Generally, a servant like Aunt Zhao's age is already in her mid-mature, so she is not as good as a girl like Shui Lingling, who can sell at a high price. Now that Zhao's father is willing to pay more money, the guard will be happy to earn a few more for himself, and happily take Zhao Auntie handed over to Father Zhao together with her body deed.They even made an agreement with Zhao's father not to disclose the news of his buyer, so as not to cause trouble for him.
"Then why didn't anyone tell me that I thought I would never see my mother again in prison." Jia Huan couldn't help complaining, but his hand was holding Aunt Zhao tightly.
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but think of the day Jia Huan ransacked the house and wanted to be with her, but she didn't do it with tears.The people in the room managed to persuade the two to stop their tears, and Jia Huan began to care about Yingchun: "How did the second sister find it?"
Yingchun's experience was even worse: the Zhongshan wolf heard that the Rongguo Mansion was being copied, not only did not allow Yingchun to inquire about it, but also beat Yingchun first, saying that Jia She cheated on the marriage, so he promised such a wooden girl to her. he.Later, seeing that the Rongguo Mansion had not yet sentenced him, he felt that there was no hope of turning over, so he kicked Yingchun out of the house with a letter of divorce.As for Yingchun's dowry, none of it is allowed: it is said that Jia She owed him 5000 taels of silver that day, and Yingchun's dowry should be used to pay off the debt.
Thinking of Yingchun, a weak woman, her husband's family was not allowed, her mother's family was confiscated, her wounds from the beating a few days ago have not healed, and she has no money, so she has nowhere to stay.Fortunately, she still kept the address of Zhao's house that Jia Huan had given her, and she passed out after walking all the way to the door of Zhao's house.Fortunately, the old couple of the Zhao family recognized the second lady, so Yingchun was rescued.
Even though he knew that the Zhongshan wolf was a ruthless beast, Jia Huan was still filled with righteous indignation. Unfortunately, now that he is weak, he had to find a way to vent his anger on Yingchun in the future: "Second sister just lives here, and when she is here, she will not let the second sister Wronged."
Yingchun nodded in agreement.These days, she almost thought that she was in a dream.Now that I have Jia Huan, I feel more at ease in my heart: "That day my aunt's family redeemed me, and we felt sorry for saving my life."
Only then did Aunt Zhao realize that it was the right decision for her son to insist that her family be expelled. Otherwise, it was rare for such a family reunion to be sold to pieces.Thinking of a family reunion, he thought of Jia Zhenglai again, and asked Jia Huan, "How is the master in there?"
Jia Huan's head grew dizzy, and he had to reply, "Fortunately, I didn't suffer much." Anyway, he just didn't eat well, didn't sleep well, and no one punished him.
Seeing Jia Huan's appearance when he came back, Aunt Zhao also knew that he was making an excuse, so she said: "The master had no choice that day, don't keep remembering it."
Jia Huan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether I remember or not, I have to remember." Aunt Zhao had nothing to say.After hearing what Jia Zheng said that day, she was not unhappy, but after all, she had children with that man, so she found all kinds of excuses for him.Now let her son open up again, Aunt Zhao is not without pain in her heart.
Zhao Guoji saw that his sister was embarrassed, so he changed the subject: "I got the letter from Mr. Sun, and I rushed back all the way. It's a pity that there is no way to visit you in the prison."
Jia Huan said: "Don't say it's you, even the second brother Li can only visit after Mrs. Li said hello. How is Mr. Sun? Did you end up after I left?"
Zhao Guoji said: "Mr. Sun is still the same. He said that I am not ready yet, so he won't let me go. It's just that your fame has been revoked. It's a pity."
Jia Huan said nonchalantly: "What a pity. If it wasn't for the fame on his head, Mr. Li wouldn't be able to intercede. Besides, I am acquitted now, and I didn't say that I won't be able to take the imperial examination in the future. I will take the exam with you next time." .”
Aunt Zhao heard that Jia Huan could take the exam again, so she smiled again: "That's right, Huan'er is still young, if he can pass the exam once, he can pass the exam next time." After forgetting the boredom, Jia Huan was asked to rest.
Lying on the kang again, Jia Huan never felt so comfortable.Maybe it's been tense for too long, and he fell asleep in no time.This sleep lasted until the dusk of the second day. During this period, Aunt Zhao came to visit several times, but she couldn't wake up.Or Zhao's mother sees that it's not a problem, so she will let Zhao Guoji wake up Jia Huan, even if she eats and then sleeps.
After Jia Huan finished his meal, Aunt Zhao had already come to discuss with him about going to prison to see Jia Zheng: "Can you please ask the Li family to let you bring in some food for the master, and some bedding as well. Then It is your father after all, there is no overnight hatred between father and son."
It's not that I have any grudge against him, it's that he gave up on you first, okay?Jia Huan was speechless, but couldn't bear to make Aunt Zhao sad, so she just asked: "Mother, have you ever thought about it, you have been sold again now, and you are no longer from the Rongguo Mansion?"
Aunt Zhao's face turned pale, and she said forcefully, "Even if I am no longer from the Rongguo Mansion, isn't the master still your father?" Well, with this temperament of not wanting to turn back if you don't hit the south wall, you have to let her hit it again That's good.
Aunt Zhao didn't know what was going on in Jia Huan's mind, she was just thinking about what to bring to the prison for Jia Zheng to use.But how can the Zhao family compare with the original Rongguo Mansion?Even if she was just an aunt there, she still felt that the things in the Zhao family were not suitable for Jia Zheng's status.So Zhao Guoji and Lin Sheng asked her to go out every day to buy things and do things.
It was still Jia Huan who couldn't see it, and said to her: "Rongguo Mansion has been raided, and now in prison, if you can have clean bedding, you have to recite the Buddha's name, and if you can eat enough, you are blessed by the Bodhisattva."
Aunt Zhao immediately asked: "Didn't you say that Master didn't suffer much?"
It's over, let's talk about it.Jia Huan said without guilt at all: "There is no punishment, no beating or scolding, of course it is not suffering."
For this increasingly assertive son, Aunt Zhao can no longer be the same as when she was in Rongguo Mansion, just give him a break if she is not used to it.She clearly knew that if Jia Huan hadn't asked her family to redeem her body early, she wouldn't know where she would be sold.It is not necessary to think about the days when the family is reunited and has no worries about food and clothing like now.
But she couldn't let her ignore Jia Zheng, so she had to pack up her things and force Jia Huan to visit him in the prison.Jia Huan made her nagging helplessly, so he had to come here again after he was released from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for four days.Because Li Shilang had already greeted the prison in advance, the prisoners did not make things difficult for Jia Huan and asked him to go to the original cell to find someone.
"Master?" Entering the dark cell from the brightly lit outside, Jia Huan couldn't tell which of the large group of unkempt people was Jia Zheng, so he could only shout outside.
"Huan'er?" Someone inside asked uncertainly, then quickly pushed and pulled the person blocking the way, and walked to the rough wooden railing of the cell: "It's really you. Why are you here? You came to pick me up. What about Baoyu? Adults, can Baoyu also go with you?"
Jia Huan saluted Jia Zheng first, and then said: "Out of the cell, I went to grandma's house. The family is thinking about the master, so let me bring something to the master, and some food." Things were handed in.
Even though Jia Huan said the unappreciable title of grandma, Jia Zheng still understood which family he went to.Maybe he also remembered how he treated Aunt Zhao on the day when he ransacked the house, and his face was a little embarrassing, but he still took the things Jia Huan handed over, and still hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
The father and son were relatively silent for a while, and Jia Zheng couldn't help asking Jia Huan for news.But Jia Huan didn't know much, so he couldn't answer Jia Zheng's questions, such as whether someone could come forward to intercede for the Rongguo Mansion, and when they could be sentenced.Ordinarily, this is normal, after all, when the Rongguo Mansion was still in existence, no one took Jia Huan out to socialize, and he didn't know the people who made good friends with the Rongguo Mansion.
But Jia Zheng is not a person who is good at self-reflection, instead he blames Jia Huan a lot.Jia Huan was speechless, just put a blank face there, let him talk freely, and then said: "Master, please stay here with peace of mind, and I will come to see you when I have news. By the way, what else can the master order?" ?”
Jia Zheng, who was talking excitedly, was interrupted by Jia Huan, and his face was a little ugly.But now that Jia Huan is no longer in prison, he can only hope that this concubine can run around for a while, so he has to tell Jia Huan one by one the people who had good relations with the Rongguo Mansion, and let him come to ask for help.From the beginning to the end, he didn't ask how the Zhao family reacted to Aunt Zhao's betrayal, let alone whether Jia Huan found Aunt Zhao.
Back home, Aunt Zhao naturally cared more and more, but Jia Huan only said that everything was fine.Hearing what Jia Huan said about what Jia Zheng asked him to inquire about, he even urged Jia Huan to go tomorrow.Jia Huan felt that Aunt Zhao was worthless, so she couldn't help asking: "Master didn't ask Mother a word, let alone why I live here, Auntie is not sad at all?"
Aunt Zhao nodded Jia Huan's head: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am a person on the brand name, which is worthy of the master's concern. You have to do what the master told you to be serious."
Only then did Jia Huan realize how stubborn the patriarchal consciousness and master-servant consciousness are in this era.Seeing that Aunt Zhao, who had escaped from the Rongguo Mansion, had no sense that she had nothing to do with Jia Zheng, Jia Huan had a headache.
"Have you ever thought about it, the best result for the master is to lose his job for the people, and then he will not be an official. The family property has been confiscated again, how will everyone live by then?" Jia Huan asked tentatively.
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but said: "Didn't you use my private house to buy some land that day? There are enough land for the four of us."
Four people, that's right, Jia Huan forgot that Aunt Zhao and Tanchun's girl: "Mother is too small? How can there be only four people? Isn't there a wife, Baoyu, sister-in-law and Lan'er, by the way And Sister Bao, isn’t she married to Baoyu? Adding us, this is nine people. The little land my aunt bought back then is not enough for these people to chew on.”
Aunt Zhao made Jia Huan stunned, but Jia Huan still refused to give up, and then said: "At that time, the wife will naturally be the housekeeper, and the mother will set rules for the wife? Besides, the master is a person who values his concubines. If I ask Auntie to hand over this idea at that time, I'm afraid I won't have a share if I divide it up again?"
Hearing that she would set rules for Madam Wang again, Aunt Zhao stared wide-eyed: "Don't think about it. This is my own place, why should I let that old woman come here to grind me? Even the master can't be unreasonable."
Jia Huan said: "I'm afraid the master's reasoning is different from what my mother said. After my wife and the others come, I can't be called my mother anymore. I'm afraid I will have to be called my aunt as before."
Aunt Zhao has been with Jia Zheng for more than ten years, how could she not know Jia Zheng's pedantic style.What Jia Huan said was what Jia Zheng could do.She managed to get her father to redeem her back, so that the family would not be separated, and Jia Huan no longer had to secretly call her mother.Even if the food and supplies are not as good as they were in Rongguo Mansion, she feels that these days are more comfortable than when she was in Rongguo Mansion.
But if the master came, he would have to bring such old people with him, and her comfortable days would be gone forever, and Jia Huan would become Jia Baoyu's foil again.And her parents, do they have to be made to be cows and horses for those people again?Back then, her Huan'er plotted back and forth, not to make those people show her face again and not treat her as a human being again.
"But if the master really has no place to go, then..." Aunt Zhao still couldn't bear it, but her tone wavered a lot.
Jia Huan said: "Why is there nowhere to go? The Rongguo Mansion was copied, but not all the family members with the surname Jia were copied. These years, which one of them has lived in the mansion? If the master and the others are now exonerated , shouldn’t I repay one or two? Besides, the sacrifice fields are not copied, isn’t there still sacrifice fields in Jinling? Those sacrifice fields will still not have my share.”
It should be said that Aunt Zhao has some feelings for Jia Zheng, but these feelings are not enough to override Jia Huan's interests.I heard that if Jia Zheng and the others come in the future, they may take away the things in Jia Huan's hands, but Aunt Zhao will not do it.Looking at what Jia Zheng might get, Jia Huan is not even eligible for points, and Aunt Zhao even quit: "How can I not have your share, you are also the master's son."
Jia Huan smiled wryly: "Mother, don't look at the master who beats and scolds Baoyu a lot on weekdays, but he hates iron but not steel. Did the master ever manage me like Guan Baoyu did? Didn't he just think that he couldn't be suppressed by me?" Baoyu?"
Aunt Zhao stopped talking.Jia Huan didn't expect to be able to persuade her this time, as long as the seeds were planted, and if you don't believe it won't take root.From this day on, Aunt Zhao no longer urged Jia Huan to see Jia Zheng, but kept talking about Tanchun from time to time.Jia Huan had no choice but to beg Li Shilang again to visit Tanchun in the prison temple.
If the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment is only depressing, then the atmosphere in the Temple of the Prison God is suffocating: the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is full of men, compared to the women in the Temple of the Prison God, at least they can restrain their emotions Some.However, some of these women cried, thought, and yelled that they were wronged loudly, which made people feel like plugging their ears when they heard it.
Tanchun never expected that Jia Huan, who thought he should be in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, would appear in front of him: "Huan'er, how did you get out of the prison? Where do you live now?"
Jia Huan told her how he got out of prison and now lives in his grandmother's house.Tanchun just listened silently, and didn't say that her uncle was Wang Ziteng.Looking at Tanchun who did not marry far away like in the original book, Jia Huan felt that such a reaction was the "Min" Tanchun who could recognize the situation clearly.It's a pity that even this Min Tanchun, like Jia Zheng, didn't ask Aunt Zhao if she found it, nor did she use her clever head to think about how well-prepared the things in her hand were.
After Jia Huan returned home, he complained to Aunt Zhao again, and Aunt Zhao stopped urging Jia Huan to send things in. The Zhao family, including Jia Huan, can only be considered well-off. It is unrealistic to support the many members of the Jia family in the prison with financial resources.
The next days are just waiting, waiting for the judgment of Dali Temple, and waiting for the emperor's treatment of Jia's family.
Li Wan's mother and son were released immediately after Jia Huan.When Jia Huan heard the news and went to the Prison Temple, the mother and son had disappeared.After inquiring with the jailer, I found out that there was another order in the order accompanying Li Wan's release, which was to return Li Wan's dowry.Jia Huan went to the household department again. Unexpectedly, Li Wan moved so fast that the dowry had already been received, but the move had not yet been completed.
"Sister-in-law Zhu." Jia Huan bowed to Li Wan, and Jia Lan beside him also bowed to Jia Huan.Jia Huancai said: "I went to the Prison Temple just now, I don't think my sister-in-law has already arrived at the household department."
Li Wan and Jia Lan had obviously washed and washed, and the clothes on their bodies did not look like they had just been released from prison.Li Wan also looked at Jia Huan. The last time Tanchun took Jia Huan's things, she knew that Jia Huan had been released from prison and was still living in Aunt Zhao's natal home.Now looking at the clothes on her body, they are naturally not made of high-quality materials, but they are still considered clean and tidy, and her complexion is considered ruddy, unlike their mother and son's disheveled faces.
"It's Huan'er. How are you now? Are you used to living in your grandma's house?" Li Wan asked with concern.
Jia Huan nodded and said, "It's okay. I'm always hungry."
Li Wan sighed a little: "As long as people are safe, as long as they are safe." He didn't ask Jia Huan what he did for a living.
Jia Huan asked, "Is there somewhere for my sister-in-law?"
Li Wan said: "My natal brother just came to Beijing. I thought that I am a woman with Lan'er, and I have no one to rely on in Beijing. Why don't I go back to Jinling with him."
Yes, this is a smart person.If she didn't return to Jinling, the dowry in her hand would not be enough to manage the Jia family and provide food for the whole family.Everyone said that Li Wan was cold, but Jia Huan felt that even if you never let the mother and child feel the warmth of the family, don't force them to fulfill their family obligations.
So in the next few days, Jia Huan was busy selling things that could not be taken away for Li Wan's mother and son, and hired a car from Changxing until they sent them away.After the people left, Jia Huan looked at the 50 taels of silver in his hand, and could only smile wryly: This was given to him by Li Wan before getting into the car.He didn't accept it, but Li Wan begged him not to tell Jia's family about his mother and child! !
Only then did Jia Huan have to admit that Li Wan was really not an enthusiastic person.
The raids took place in autumn, and by the time the verdict came down, it was almost summer.The young servant of the Li family sent Jia Huan news: Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng were asked to be executed, Jia Zheng was exiled for thousands of miles, and Jia Lian was exiled for eight hundred miles.The rest will be released soon.
Jia Huan could still accept Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong's beheading, but Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's beheading was really unbelievable: "Why did the second wife and Lian's second sister-in-law also ask for beheading? Aren't they Women's family?" In the original book, these two people mostly use their husband's posts to do evil, so the husband is responsible for all the crimes.
Before the young man came, he had obviously been taught by Haosheng, so he answered clearly: "The second wife, the most serious crime is colluding with the eunuch to inquire about the inner court news, engulfing the family property of the meritorious officials, and hiding the family property of the criminal official. The second wife of Lian Grandma, the life in your hands has been revealed."
Jia Huan nodded, and asked Jia Zheng when they were exiled.The little fellow said: "The sage is merciful and allows Jia Zheng and Jia Lian to collect the corpses for Jia Amnesty and others before leaving." That is, it will be after autumn.Jia Huan didn't think this was kindness: when there was the Rongguo Mansion, the most beautiful person was not Jia She, who was the successor to the title, but Jia Zheng.Now that he has committed a crime, Jia Amnesty is the one who is going to die. It's strange that he feels at ease.People who are already dying, why should they be scruples?It can't be said that Jia Amnesty will let Jia Zheng have a taste of how life feels like years before beheading everywhere.
Moreover, Jia Amnesty also had Jia Lian, his son, and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, who were going to die together, as assistants, while Jia Zheng had only one person to fight, but he always regarded himself as a scholar, and he was the most helpless.His days in prison need not be imagined.
Before Qiuhou was executed, another incident happened—the old lady died.
After leaving the Prison Temple, the female family members of the Jia family were placed in a two-entry house in Dongcheng by Daiyu.It's not the house that Jia Huan bought for her, it's probably old housekeeper Lin who prepared it, and there are a few rough envoys in it for dispatch.But Daiyu didn't go to visit, probably because Jia's family chilled her.
But in the old lady's heart, if she treats you well, she values you. Even if she treats you badly, there must be her reasons, and you can't resent her.So Daiyu, who arranged a house for them, became an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf in the mouth of the old lady.It is estimated that the old housekeeper Lin had heard enough of the old lady's nonsense, and removed all the servants of the Lin family overnight.
The old lady has been pampered and pampered all her life, and the girls who serve her are all delicate and soft people. Now there is not even a waiter, and Mrs. Xing has always been displeased with her. People in their 80s, why don't they just go?
The person who came to deliver the letter to Jia Huan was naturally Tanchun.Now she has no regard for decency, and walked all the way to Peach Blossom Alley - now that the house is in Mrs. Xing's hands, she doesn't have a good impression of the people in the second room, so naturally she won't give money to Tan Chunyue, so Tan Chun also There is no money to hire a car.
"Huan'er, the old lady has gone." These were the first words Tanchun said when he saw Jia Huan.Jia Huan didn't expect the old lady to leave so quickly, so he hurriedly asked: "How did you get there, but did you invite a doctor?"
Tanchun didn't want to enter Zhao's house, so he just said to Jia Huan at the gate of the courtyard: "Hurry up, the old lady must be buried in peace."
Jia Huan asked: "Isn't the old lady's dowry already returned? Just use those purchases."
Tanchun shook his head: "The eldest wife is now in charge of the house, she has always been concerned about money, and I'm afraid it won't make the old lady look good."
Jia Huan didn't think Mrs. Xing's actions were wrong: now Jia's mother's dowry is the last money of Jia's family, and Jia Zheng and Jia Lian have to be exiled, and then Jia Amnesty and others are collected. Money is needed everywhere.Now that Jia's mother is gone, Jia's family is no longer the original Rongguo Mansion, so what are you talking about for shame.
Seeing that Jia Huan disagreed with his words, Tanchun said anxiously: "If the old lady's business is done better, those old relatives will come to express their condolences. It means that they have reconnected with those families. Even you are more educated. move around."
I think you can still marry into a noble family.Jia Huan ignored her and just went out of the alley to hire a car.Aunt Zhao had heard Tanchun's voice a long time ago, but Jia Huan told her that if Tanchun took the initiative to come in and say hello to Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, he would naturally take care of her.But if she can't even recognize this grandma and grandpa, she can think of Aunt Zhao's position in her heart, "Mother doesn't have to worry about her anymore."
Not wanting Jia Huan's word to come true, Tanchun came to Jia Huan to see that he was doing things in an orderly manner these days, and wanted to help him. He didn't care about Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, so naturally he didn't ask any questions.Clutching her mouth that was about to cry, Aunt Zhao had to admit that Jia Huan did not wrong her sister.
Not to mention that Aunt Zhao complained about herself at home, Jia Huan was busy again: ordering coffins, ordering paper bindings, ordering monks' teachings, he had to do everything by himself.Fortunately, Aunt Zhao later asked Zhao Guoji to help, and it was considered a major event to be fooled.
When Jia Huan first arrived, Mrs. Xing was worried that he had the same thoughts as Tanchun, and would spend money to buy something beautiful.He didn't want Jia Huan to respect her everywhere and only listen to her orders, so he gradually let go of his guard.Tanchun, on the other hand, did not expect that Jia Huan did not agree with her. She complained secretly several times, but Jia Huan ignored her and gave up.
Jia Huan picked up Mrs. Xing the first day and went to see Jia Amnesty for the last time in the prison.It's just that these two people couldn't share wealth and wealth in good times, and they can't share hardships in life now.Mrs. Xing recounted her hard work all her life, Jia She just looked at the corner of the wall with dull eyes and did not speak.
You Shi and Xiao Hu Shi, who came together, also talked to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, but there was nothing else to think about except crying.Although Jia Zheng had let these people clean up a lot these days, he also felt bleak.
"Huan'er, have you ever visited your mother?" Jia Zheng asked.
Mother?Did he know that he found Aunt Zhao?Jia Huan looked at Jia Zheng with some hesitation, but this hesitant look made Jia Zheng angry: "Sinister bastard, although my wife didn't give birth to you, she is still your aunt. Treating you is considered kind, but you Wouldn't you even give her a ride?"
Hearing the word aunt, Jia Huan knew that Jia Zheng was referring to Mrs. Wang, and then heard that Jia Zheng had the nerve to say that Mrs. Wang treated him kindly. Jia Huan wanted to know where Jia Zheng saw it.
So Jia Huan asked outright: "The master said that my wife is kind to me. Is it because my wife doesn't let me do my homework every day and only makes me copy the scriptures, or is it because I didn't die from diarrhea several times? Going back to Jinling, my wife’s servant gave me medicine but I reaped the consequences?”
Jia Zheng couldn't answer.He didn't really know nothing about this matter, because Aunt Zhao cried to him more than once that day.But at that time, he only thought that Jia Huan was fine, so he naturally wanted to whitewash the peace.Unexpectedly, Jia Huan would say this directly today, how can he answer?
Jia Huan didn't care what Jia Zheng's expression was: anyway, he is just an ordinary commoner now, and the imperial examination will take a few years.At that time, no one will pay any attention to whether he was filial to a beheaded aunt.So what else does he care about fame? !
Jia Zheng could only stare at Jia Huan.From the moment he gave up on Aunt Zhao, this bastard no longer took his words to heart.People are like this, others care about you, what you say is effective, if they don't care about you, what you say can only pollute the air.Of course Jia Zheng would not have thought of such vulgar words, he just realized that this bastard was no longer under his control.
As soon as the visiting time came, Jia Huan and others were kicked out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.If they wanted to see Jia Amnesty and the others, they could only wait until tomorrow at the execution ground.But Mrs. Xing is also an old person. Even though You Shi and Xiao Hu Shi are young, they are women. Such a bloody scene is not suitable.Therefore, Jia Huan was the only one who could go to the execution ground to collect the corpses of several people.
What kind of fate is this? When there was the Rongguo Mansion, let alone a bastard who was not taken seriously, he almost died several times.Who knows that there is no Rongguo Mansion, but they have to collect the corpses for these people!Jia Huan also wanted to ignore it, but he didn't see any members of the Jia family, and he couldn't let him leave a group of women and children behind.
Forget it, even if I owe them.While setting the coffin, Jia Huan comforted herself like this.Fortunately, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were still there, and old butler Lin gave him a few helpers, which made it possible for those people to lie in the coffin smoothly.
After sending the coffin to the temple for storage, and sending away Jia Zheng and Jia Lian, Jia Huan asked Mrs. Xing about her future plans.Mrs. Xing has been stimulated quite a bit in the past few days, and her hair has all turned white.She expressed that she didn't want to stay in the capital any longer, and wanted to take Jia Cong and sister Qiao back to Jinling to guard the sacrifice fields.
Mrs. You and Mrs. Hu are completely attached to Mrs. Xing. After the old lady disappears, all the rest of the dowry will be in Mrs. Xing's hands.Jia Huan felt that Mrs. Xing's idea was also feasible, but Tanchun and Xichun became difficult problems.
"Huan'er, you are the only male at home now, so you should go back to Jinling with everyone." Now Tanchun doesn't feel that Jia Huan is a burden, she wants to find an ally.
Jia Huan smiled and shook her head: "Third sister was joking. Second brother Bao is still here, and I'm just a bastard."
It was only then that Tanchun realized that what he had said was a little off, but who made the current Jia Baoyu so insignificant that he would never be seen in anything, making it impossible for people to regard him as a grown man.It's just that it's hard to say this directly, and Tanchun can only hope that Mrs. Xing will talk to Jia Huan with her.
It's a pity that Mrs. Xing and Tanchun have different ideas.Now she is taking Jia Cong with her personally, thinking about being a reliance in the future, how can she want Jia Huan, who is already in charge, to grab the family property?Mrs. Xing didn't say a word to Tanchun's proposal, and her intention to refuse was obvious.
Jia Baoyu remained silent.After being in jail for a while, his condition got better and got worse, and he couldn't think of anything except being in a daze every day.What Xue Baochai was sitting beside him was, and Jia Huan had no intention of going into it.
"Will the third sister go back to Jinling with the eldest wife, or stay in Beijing with me?" Jia Huan asked, it's okay if you don't ask, Aunt Zhao will have a hard time.
Tanchun didn't even hesitate: "Of course I have to follow the eldest lady."
Jia Huan got out of the carriage by himself, and Second Young Master Li also got out of the carriage.Jia Huan saluted and said goodbye: "Thank you second brother for seeing me off. My grandfather's house is small, so I won't invite second brother to sit in."
Then the second young master Li didn't think it was disobedient: "It's okay, you go, I'll watch you enter the door here and leave."He was going to take Jia Huan away if Jia Huan's grandfather refused to accept him.
Jia Huan also knew what he meant, and gave another deep gift, hugged the package by himself, and walked to the door of Zhao's house.The gate of the courtyard was closed, so Jia Huan had to open the door.A female voice from inside the door asked, "Who is it?"
Hearing this voice, Jia Huan yelled: "Mother? Mother! Is it you? I'm Huan'er." Second Young Master Li suddenly heard Jia Huan's call, and he didn't know what happened, so he also led the coachman into the alley.
There was only a moment of hesitation in the door, and the door was already opened, and the person looking out was either Aunt Zhao or someone else.Aunt Zhao was stunned when she saw Jia Huan, and immediately rushed forward to hug her son: "Huan'er, my Huan'er, it's really you, am I dreaming?" fell down.
Jia Huan was also heartbroken. The person who thought that he might not be able to find it after all his efforts, now appeared in front of his eyes alive. This surprise was greater than his own freedom.
"Brother Huan?" Seeing that the two of them were crying in the street, and a neighbor opened the door to see what happened, Second Young Master Li couldn't help reminding Jia Huan.
Jia Huan was reminded, she quickly put away her tears, and said to Aunt Zhao: "Mother, this is Li Erge from Li Shilang's family, he is the one who picked me up."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhao didn't even care to wipe away her tears, she knelt down and kowtowed to Second Young Master Li in a hurry: "Thank you Second Young Master. We will never forget your great kindness." While speaking, she kowtowed five or six times.
Second Young Master Li suddenly felt embarrassed, neither hiding nor suffering.Jia Huan saw that he was uncomfortable, so he helped Aunt Zhao up: "Mother, let's go to the hospital and talk about it. Brother Li, please come in and have a cup of tea."
Then the second young master Li saw how Aunt Zhao was so pitiful, so he knew why Jia Huan never forgot his aunt, and was also a little curious about how Aunt Zhao could appear here - he heard that the slaves of Jia's mansion were sold by others. It was in time, but Aunt Zhao couldn't be found. How did this family find her?
Aunt Zhao looked behind the two of them again, and asked tentatively, "Master didn't come back with you?"
Jia Huan smiled wryly in his heart. Jia Zheng was ruthless to Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao still missed him, so he said: "I am exonerated because of Mr. Li's efforts. It will take some time."
Aunt Zhao was a little disappointed.Fortunately, after this disaster in prison, he finally knew that there were some things he couldn't say, so he only asked Nei Yan to invite Second Young Master Li: "You are a small family, let Second Young Master laugh at you."
The few people had just entered the yard when another woman dressed up came out: "Auntie, I heard your name Huan'er in a daze just now, but does Huan'er have a letter?"
Spring? !Jia Huan felt that there must be something wrong with the way he got out of the prison. How could unexpected people appear in Zhao's house?Just as he was thinking, Zhao Guoji's voice also came over: "Sister, don't worry, I'll go inquire tomorrow and find out the way. Brother Huan?!!"
It turned out that Zhao Guoji was faster than Yingchun, and he had already found Jia Huan standing in the yard.Aunt Zhao scolded him: "Don't yell, quickly let Huan'er into the house and fetch him some water to wash."
At this time, Yingchun has also arrived. Seeing Jia Huan, she shed tears without saying a word: "Huan'er, you are back."
Jia Huan also didn't care to catch up with everyone, so he invited Second Young Master Li to sit in the main room first, and then let Zhao Guoji accompany him, and he had to find a place to wash up first.At this time, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother had also come out, and there were people standing in the yard for a while.Second Young Master Li knew that it was not a good time to talk, so he hurriedly said goodbye: "I will have time to talk in the future, after you settle down, you must go and see your sister Lin."
Jia Huan and others couldn't keep him, so they had to send him out of the house again, and only returned after watching the car go far away.In the end, Jia Huan had to wash up first, and then put on the clothes Daiyu had prepared, before sitting down and talking to everyone.
He first asked Aunt Zhao: "I asked the second young master in prison to redeem my mother. But he told me that on the day of the sale, my mother was not found. I don't know who it is. Why is your mother at grandma's house?"
Aunt Zhao told him what is the great wisdom of a small person: Father Zhao has been inquiring about the whereabouts of the people since he heard that the Rongguo Mansion ransacked the house. , is a way to sell.So before the news of the sale came out, the old man had already started to make friends with the guards who guarded Aunt Zhao's group.As soon as the news of the sale came out, Zhao's father knew the news before the Li family.
So Father Zhao discussed with the caretaker if he could redeem the daughter in advance by himself, even if he added some money.He was also afraid of being tricked by others, so he asked the guard not to reveal himself.Generally, a servant like Aunt Zhao's age is already in her mid-mature, so she is not as good as a girl like Shui Lingling, who can sell at a high price. Now that Zhao's father is willing to pay more money, the guard will be happy to earn a few more for himself, and happily take Zhao Auntie handed over to Father Zhao together with her body deed.They even made an agreement with Zhao's father not to disclose the news of his buyer, so as not to cause trouble for him.
"Then why didn't anyone tell me that I thought I would never see my mother again in prison." Jia Huan couldn't help complaining, but his hand was holding Aunt Zhao tightly.
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but think of the day Jia Huan ransacked the house and wanted to be with her, but she didn't do it with tears.The people in the room managed to persuade the two to stop their tears, and Jia Huan began to care about Yingchun: "How did the second sister find it?"
Yingchun's experience was even worse: the Zhongshan wolf heard that the Rongguo Mansion was being copied, not only did not allow Yingchun to inquire about it, but also beat Yingchun first, saying that Jia She cheated on the marriage, so he promised such a wooden girl to her. he.Later, seeing that the Rongguo Mansion had not yet sentenced him, he felt that there was no hope of turning over, so he kicked Yingchun out of the house with a letter of divorce.As for Yingchun's dowry, none of it is allowed: it is said that Jia She owed him 5000 taels of silver that day, and Yingchun's dowry should be used to pay off the debt.
Thinking of Yingchun, a weak woman, her husband's family was not allowed, her mother's family was confiscated, her wounds from the beating a few days ago have not healed, and she has no money, so she has nowhere to stay.Fortunately, she still kept the address of Zhao's house that Jia Huan had given her, and she passed out after walking all the way to the door of Zhao's house.Fortunately, the old couple of the Zhao family recognized the second lady, so Yingchun was rescued.
Even though he knew that the Zhongshan wolf was a ruthless beast, Jia Huan was still filled with righteous indignation. Unfortunately, now that he is weak, he had to find a way to vent his anger on Yingchun in the future: "Second sister just lives here, and when she is here, she will not let the second sister Wronged."
Yingchun nodded in agreement.These days, she almost thought that she was in a dream.Now that I have Jia Huan, I feel more at ease in my heart: "That day my aunt's family redeemed me, and we felt sorry for saving my life."
Only then did Aunt Zhao realize that it was the right decision for her son to insist that her family be expelled. Otherwise, it was rare for such a family reunion to be sold to pieces.Thinking of a family reunion, he thought of Jia Zhenglai again, and asked Jia Huan, "How is the master in there?"
Jia Huan's head grew dizzy, and he had to reply, "Fortunately, I didn't suffer much." Anyway, he just didn't eat well, didn't sleep well, and no one punished him.
Seeing Jia Huan's appearance when he came back, Aunt Zhao also knew that he was making an excuse, so she said: "The master had no choice that day, don't keep remembering it."
Jia Huan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether I remember or not, I have to remember." Aunt Zhao had nothing to say.After hearing what Jia Zheng said that day, she was not unhappy, but after all, she had children with that man, so she found all kinds of excuses for him.Now let her son open up again, Aunt Zhao is not without pain in her heart.
Zhao Guoji saw that his sister was embarrassed, so he changed the subject: "I got the letter from Mr. Sun, and I rushed back all the way. It's a pity that there is no way to visit you in the prison."
Jia Huan said: "Don't say it's you, even the second brother Li can only visit after Mrs. Li said hello. How is Mr. Sun? Did you end up after I left?"
Zhao Guoji said: "Mr. Sun is still the same. He said that I am not ready yet, so he won't let me go. It's just that your fame has been revoked. It's a pity."
Jia Huan said nonchalantly: "What a pity. If it wasn't for the fame on his head, Mr. Li wouldn't be able to intercede. Besides, I am acquitted now, and I didn't say that I won't be able to take the imperial examination in the future. I will take the exam with you next time." .”
Aunt Zhao heard that Jia Huan could take the exam again, so she smiled again: "That's right, Huan'er is still young, if he can pass the exam once, he can pass the exam next time." After forgetting the boredom, Jia Huan was asked to rest.
Lying on the kang again, Jia Huan never felt so comfortable.Maybe it's been tense for too long, and he fell asleep in no time.This sleep lasted until the dusk of the second day. During this period, Aunt Zhao came to visit several times, but she couldn't wake up.Or Zhao's mother sees that it's not a problem, so she will let Zhao Guoji wake up Jia Huan, even if she eats and then sleeps.
After Jia Huan finished his meal, Aunt Zhao had already come to discuss with him about going to prison to see Jia Zheng: "Can you please ask the Li family to let you bring in some food for the master, and some bedding as well. Then It is your father after all, there is no overnight hatred between father and son."
It's not that I have any grudge against him, it's that he gave up on you first, okay?Jia Huan was speechless, but couldn't bear to make Aunt Zhao sad, so she just asked: "Mother, have you ever thought about it, you have been sold again now, and you are no longer from the Rongguo Mansion?"
Aunt Zhao's face turned pale, and she said forcefully, "Even if I am no longer from the Rongguo Mansion, isn't the master still your father?" Well, with this temperament of not wanting to turn back if you don't hit the south wall, you have to let her hit it again That's good.
Aunt Zhao didn't know what was going on in Jia Huan's mind, she was just thinking about what to bring to the prison for Jia Zheng to use.But how can the Zhao family compare with the original Rongguo Mansion?Even if she was just an aunt there, she still felt that the things in the Zhao family were not suitable for Jia Zheng's status.So Zhao Guoji and Lin Sheng asked her to go out every day to buy things and do things.
It was still Jia Huan who couldn't see it, and said to her: "Rongguo Mansion has been raided, and now in prison, if you can have clean bedding, you have to recite the Buddha's name, and if you can eat enough, you are blessed by the Bodhisattva."
Aunt Zhao immediately asked: "Didn't you say that Master didn't suffer much?"
It's over, let's talk about it.Jia Huan said without guilt at all: "There is no punishment, no beating or scolding, of course it is not suffering."
For this increasingly assertive son, Aunt Zhao can no longer be the same as when she was in Rongguo Mansion, just give him a break if she is not used to it.She clearly knew that if Jia Huan hadn't asked her family to redeem her body early, she wouldn't know where she would be sold.It is not necessary to think about the days when the family is reunited and has no worries about food and clothing like now.
But she couldn't let her ignore Jia Zheng, so she had to pack up her things and force Jia Huan to visit him in the prison.Jia Huan made her nagging helplessly, so he had to come here again after he was released from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for four days.Because Li Shilang had already greeted the prison in advance, the prisoners did not make things difficult for Jia Huan and asked him to go to the original cell to find someone.
"Master?" Entering the dark cell from the brightly lit outside, Jia Huan couldn't tell which of the large group of unkempt people was Jia Zheng, so he could only shout outside.
"Huan'er?" Someone inside asked uncertainly, then quickly pushed and pulled the person blocking the way, and walked to the rough wooden railing of the cell: "It's really you. Why are you here? You came to pick me up. What about Baoyu? Adults, can Baoyu also go with you?"
Jia Huan saluted Jia Zheng first, and then said: "Out of the cell, I went to grandma's house. The family is thinking about the master, so let me bring something to the master, and some food." Things were handed in.
Even though Jia Huan said the unappreciable title of grandma, Jia Zheng still understood which family he went to.Maybe he also remembered how he treated Aunt Zhao on the day when he ransacked the house, and his face was a little embarrassing, but he still took the things Jia Huan handed over, and still hugged him tightly and refused to let go.
The father and son were relatively silent for a while, and Jia Zheng couldn't help asking Jia Huan for news.But Jia Huan didn't know much, so he couldn't answer Jia Zheng's questions, such as whether someone could come forward to intercede for the Rongguo Mansion, and when they could be sentenced.Ordinarily, this is normal, after all, when the Rongguo Mansion was still in existence, no one took Jia Huan out to socialize, and he didn't know the people who made good friends with the Rongguo Mansion.
But Jia Zheng is not a person who is good at self-reflection, instead he blames Jia Huan a lot.Jia Huan was speechless, just put a blank face there, let him talk freely, and then said: "Master, please stay here with peace of mind, and I will come to see you when I have news. By the way, what else can the master order?" ?”
Jia Zheng, who was talking excitedly, was interrupted by Jia Huan, and his face was a little ugly.But now that Jia Huan is no longer in prison, he can only hope that this concubine can run around for a while, so he has to tell Jia Huan one by one the people who had good relations with the Rongguo Mansion, and let him come to ask for help.From the beginning to the end, he didn't ask how the Zhao family reacted to Aunt Zhao's betrayal, let alone whether Jia Huan found Aunt Zhao.
Back home, Aunt Zhao naturally cared more and more, but Jia Huan only said that everything was fine.Hearing what Jia Huan said about what Jia Zheng asked him to inquire about, he even urged Jia Huan to go tomorrow.Jia Huan felt that Aunt Zhao was worthless, so she couldn't help asking: "Master didn't ask Mother a word, let alone why I live here, Auntie is not sad at all?"
Aunt Zhao nodded Jia Huan's head: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am a person on the brand name, which is worthy of the master's concern. You have to do what the master told you to be serious."
Only then did Jia Huan realize how stubborn the patriarchal consciousness and master-servant consciousness are in this era.Seeing that Aunt Zhao, who had escaped from the Rongguo Mansion, had no sense that she had nothing to do with Jia Zheng, Jia Huan had a headache.
"Have you ever thought about it, the best result for the master is to lose his job for the people, and then he will not be an official. The family property has been confiscated again, how will everyone live by then?" Jia Huan asked tentatively.
Aunt Zhao couldn't help but said: "Didn't you use my private house to buy some land that day? There are enough land for the four of us."
Four people, that's right, Jia Huan forgot that Aunt Zhao and Tanchun's girl: "Mother is too small? How can there be only four people? Isn't there a wife, Baoyu, sister-in-law and Lan'er, by the way And Sister Bao, isn’t she married to Baoyu? Adding us, this is nine people. The little land my aunt bought back then is not enough for these people to chew on.”
Aunt Zhao made Jia Huan stunned, but Jia Huan still refused to give up, and then said: "At that time, the wife will naturally be the housekeeper, and the mother will set rules for the wife? Besides, the master is a person who values his concubines. If I ask Auntie to hand over this idea at that time, I'm afraid I won't have a share if I divide it up again?"
Hearing that she would set rules for Madam Wang again, Aunt Zhao stared wide-eyed: "Don't think about it. This is my own place, why should I let that old woman come here to grind me? Even the master can't be unreasonable."
Jia Huan said: "I'm afraid the master's reasoning is different from what my mother said. After my wife and the others come, I can't be called my mother anymore. I'm afraid I will have to be called my aunt as before."
Aunt Zhao has been with Jia Zheng for more than ten years, how could she not know Jia Zheng's pedantic style.What Jia Huan said was what Jia Zheng could do.She managed to get her father to redeem her back, so that the family would not be separated, and Jia Huan no longer had to secretly call her mother.Even if the food and supplies are not as good as they were in Rongguo Mansion, she feels that these days are more comfortable than when she was in Rongguo Mansion.
But if the master came, he would have to bring such old people with him, and her comfortable days would be gone forever, and Jia Huan would become Jia Baoyu's foil again.And her parents, do they have to be made to be cows and horses for those people again?Back then, her Huan'er plotted back and forth, not to make those people show her face again and not treat her as a human being again.
"But if the master really has no place to go, then..." Aunt Zhao still couldn't bear it, but her tone wavered a lot.
Jia Huan said: "Why is there nowhere to go? The Rongguo Mansion was copied, but not all the family members with the surname Jia were copied. These years, which one of them has lived in the mansion? If the master and the others are now exonerated , shouldn’t I repay one or two? Besides, the sacrifice fields are not copied, isn’t there still sacrifice fields in Jinling? Those sacrifice fields will still not have my share.”
It should be said that Aunt Zhao has some feelings for Jia Zheng, but these feelings are not enough to override Jia Huan's interests.I heard that if Jia Zheng and the others come in the future, they may take away the things in Jia Huan's hands, but Aunt Zhao will not do it.Looking at what Jia Zheng might get, Jia Huan is not even eligible for points, and Aunt Zhao even quit: "How can I not have your share, you are also the master's son."
Jia Huan smiled wryly: "Mother, don't look at the master who beats and scolds Baoyu a lot on weekdays, but he hates iron but not steel. Did the master ever manage me like Guan Baoyu did? Didn't he just think that he couldn't be suppressed by me?" Baoyu?"
Aunt Zhao stopped talking.Jia Huan didn't expect to be able to persuade her this time, as long as the seeds were planted, and if you don't believe it won't take root.From this day on, Aunt Zhao no longer urged Jia Huan to see Jia Zheng, but kept talking about Tanchun from time to time.Jia Huan had no choice but to beg Li Shilang again to visit Tanchun in the prison temple.
If the Prison of the Ministry of Punishment is only depressing, then the atmosphere in the Temple of the Prison God is suffocating: the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is full of men, compared to the women in the Temple of the Prison God, at least they can restrain their emotions Some.However, some of these women cried, thought, and yelled that they were wronged loudly, which made people feel like plugging their ears when they heard it.
Tanchun never expected that Jia Huan, who thought he should be in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, would appear in front of him: "Huan'er, how did you get out of the prison? Where do you live now?"
Jia Huan told her how he got out of prison and now lives in his grandmother's house.Tanchun just listened silently, and didn't say that her uncle was Wang Ziteng.Looking at Tanchun who did not marry far away like in the original book, Jia Huan felt that such a reaction was the "Min" Tanchun who could recognize the situation clearly.It's a pity that even this Min Tanchun, like Jia Zheng, didn't ask Aunt Zhao if she found it, nor did she use her clever head to think about how well-prepared the things in her hand were.
After Jia Huan returned home, he complained to Aunt Zhao again, and Aunt Zhao stopped urging Jia Huan to send things in. The Zhao family, including Jia Huan, can only be considered well-off. It is unrealistic to support the many members of the Jia family in the prison with financial resources.
The next days are just waiting, waiting for the judgment of Dali Temple, and waiting for the emperor's treatment of Jia's family.
Li Wan's mother and son were released immediately after Jia Huan.When Jia Huan heard the news and went to the Prison Temple, the mother and son had disappeared.After inquiring with the jailer, I found out that there was another order in the order accompanying Li Wan's release, which was to return Li Wan's dowry.Jia Huan went to the household department again. Unexpectedly, Li Wan moved so fast that the dowry had already been received, but the move had not yet been completed.
"Sister-in-law Zhu." Jia Huan bowed to Li Wan, and Jia Lan beside him also bowed to Jia Huan.Jia Huancai said: "I went to the Prison Temple just now, I don't think my sister-in-law has already arrived at the household department."
Li Wan and Jia Lan had obviously washed and washed, and the clothes on their bodies did not look like they had just been released from prison.Li Wan also looked at Jia Huan. The last time Tanchun took Jia Huan's things, she knew that Jia Huan had been released from prison and was still living in Aunt Zhao's natal home.Now looking at the clothes on her body, they are naturally not made of high-quality materials, but they are still considered clean and tidy, and her complexion is considered ruddy, unlike their mother and son's disheveled faces.
"It's Huan'er. How are you now? Are you used to living in your grandma's house?" Li Wan asked with concern.
Jia Huan nodded and said, "It's okay. I'm always hungry."
Li Wan sighed a little: "As long as people are safe, as long as they are safe." He didn't ask Jia Huan what he did for a living.
Jia Huan asked, "Is there somewhere for my sister-in-law?"
Li Wan said: "My natal brother just came to Beijing. I thought that I am a woman with Lan'er, and I have no one to rely on in Beijing. Why don't I go back to Jinling with him."
Yes, this is a smart person.If she didn't return to Jinling, the dowry in her hand would not be enough to manage the Jia family and provide food for the whole family.Everyone said that Li Wan was cold, but Jia Huan felt that even if you never let the mother and child feel the warmth of the family, don't force them to fulfill their family obligations.
So in the next few days, Jia Huan was busy selling things that could not be taken away for Li Wan's mother and son, and hired a car from Changxing until they sent them away.After the people left, Jia Huan looked at the 50 taels of silver in his hand, and could only smile wryly: This was given to him by Li Wan before getting into the car.He didn't accept it, but Li Wan begged him not to tell Jia's family about his mother and child! !
Only then did Jia Huan have to admit that Li Wan was really not an enthusiastic person.
The raids took place in autumn, and by the time the verdict came down, it was almost summer.The young servant of the Li family sent Jia Huan news: Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng were asked to be executed, Jia Zheng was exiled for thousands of miles, and Jia Lian was exiled for eight hundred miles.The rest will be released soon.
Jia Huan could still accept Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen, and Jia Rong's beheading, but Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's beheading was really unbelievable: "Why did the second wife and Lian's second sister-in-law also ask for beheading? Aren't they Women's family?" In the original book, these two people mostly use their husband's posts to do evil, so the husband is responsible for all the crimes.
Before the young man came, he had obviously been taught by Haosheng, so he answered clearly: "The second wife, the most serious crime is colluding with the eunuch to inquire about the inner court news, engulfing the family property of the meritorious officials, and hiding the family property of the criminal official. The second wife of Lian Grandma, the life in your hands has been revealed."
Jia Huan nodded, and asked Jia Zheng when they were exiled.The little fellow said: "The sage is merciful and allows Jia Zheng and Jia Lian to collect the corpses for Jia Amnesty and others before leaving." That is, it will be after autumn.Jia Huan didn't think this was kindness: when there was the Rongguo Mansion, the most beautiful person was not Jia She, who was the successor to the title, but Jia Zheng.Now that he has committed a crime, Jia Amnesty is the one who is going to die. It's strange that he feels at ease.People who are already dying, why should they be scruples?It can't be said that Jia Amnesty will let Jia Zheng have a taste of how life feels like years before beheading everywhere.
Moreover, Jia Amnesty also had Jia Lian, his son, and Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, who were going to die together, as assistants, while Jia Zheng had only one person to fight, but he always regarded himself as a scholar, and he was the most helpless.His days in prison need not be imagined.
Before Qiuhou was executed, another incident happened—the old lady died.
After leaving the Prison Temple, the female family members of the Jia family were placed in a two-entry house in Dongcheng by Daiyu.It's not the house that Jia Huan bought for her, it's probably old housekeeper Lin who prepared it, and there are a few rough envoys in it for dispatch.But Daiyu didn't go to visit, probably because Jia's family chilled her.
But in the old lady's heart, if she treats you well, she values you. Even if she treats you badly, there must be her reasons, and you can't resent her.So Daiyu, who arranged a house for them, became an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf in the mouth of the old lady.It is estimated that the old housekeeper Lin had heard enough of the old lady's nonsense, and removed all the servants of the Lin family overnight.
The old lady has been pampered and pampered all her life, and the girls who serve her are all delicate and soft people. Now there is not even a waiter, and Mrs. Xing has always been displeased with her. People in their 80s, why don't they just go?
The person who came to deliver the letter to Jia Huan was naturally Tanchun.Now she has no regard for decency, and walked all the way to Peach Blossom Alley - now that the house is in Mrs. Xing's hands, she doesn't have a good impression of the people in the second room, so naturally she won't give money to Tan Chunyue, so Tan Chun also There is no money to hire a car.
"Huan'er, the old lady has gone." These were the first words Tanchun said when he saw Jia Huan.Jia Huan didn't expect the old lady to leave so quickly, so he hurriedly asked: "How did you get there, but did you invite a doctor?"
Tanchun didn't want to enter Zhao's house, so he just said to Jia Huan at the gate of the courtyard: "Hurry up, the old lady must be buried in peace."
Jia Huan asked: "Isn't the old lady's dowry already returned? Just use those purchases."
Tanchun shook his head: "The eldest wife is now in charge of the house, she has always been concerned about money, and I'm afraid it won't make the old lady look good."
Jia Huan didn't think Mrs. Xing's actions were wrong: now Jia's mother's dowry is the last money of Jia's family, and Jia Zheng and Jia Lian have to be exiled, and then Jia Amnesty and others are collected. Money is needed everywhere.Now that Jia's mother is gone, Jia's family is no longer the original Rongguo Mansion, so what are you talking about for shame.
Seeing that Jia Huan disagreed with his words, Tanchun said anxiously: "If the old lady's business is done better, those old relatives will come to express their condolences. It means that they have reconnected with those families. Even you are more educated. move around."
I think you can still marry into a noble family.Jia Huan ignored her and just went out of the alley to hire a car.Aunt Zhao had heard Tanchun's voice a long time ago, but Jia Huan told her that if Tanchun took the initiative to come in and say hello to Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, he would naturally take care of her.But if she can't even recognize this grandma and grandpa, she can think of Aunt Zhao's position in her heart, "Mother doesn't have to worry about her anymore."
Not wanting Jia Huan's word to come true, Tanchun came to Jia Huan to see that he was doing things in an orderly manner these days, and wanted to help him. He didn't care about Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, so naturally he didn't ask any questions.Clutching her mouth that was about to cry, Aunt Zhao had to admit that Jia Huan did not wrong her sister.
Not to mention that Aunt Zhao complained about herself at home, Jia Huan was busy again: ordering coffins, ordering paper bindings, ordering monks' teachings, he had to do everything by himself.Fortunately, Aunt Zhao later asked Zhao Guoji to help, and it was considered a major event to be fooled.
When Jia Huan first arrived, Mrs. Xing was worried that he had the same thoughts as Tanchun, and would spend money to buy something beautiful.He didn't want Jia Huan to respect her everywhere and only listen to her orders, so he gradually let go of his guard.Tanchun, on the other hand, did not expect that Jia Huan did not agree with her. She complained secretly several times, but Jia Huan ignored her and gave up.
Jia Huan picked up Mrs. Xing the first day and went to see Jia Amnesty for the last time in the prison.It's just that these two people couldn't share wealth and wealth in good times, and they can't share hardships in life now.Mrs. Xing recounted her hard work all her life, Jia She just looked at the corner of the wall with dull eyes and did not speak.
You Shi and Xiao Hu Shi, who came together, also talked to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, but there was nothing else to think about except crying.Although Jia Zheng had let these people clean up a lot these days, he also felt bleak.
"Huan'er, have you ever visited your mother?" Jia Zheng asked.
Mother?Did he know that he found Aunt Zhao?Jia Huan looked at Jia Zheng with some hesitation, but this hesitant look made Jia Zheng angry: "Sinister bastard, although my wife didn't give birth to you, she is still your aunt. Treating you is considered kind, but you Wouldn't you even give her a ride?"
Hearing the word aunt, Jia Huan knew that Jia Zheng was referring to Mrs. Wang, and then heard that Jia Zheng had the nerve to say that Mrs. Wang treated him kindly. Jia Huan wanted to know where Jia Zheng saw it.
So Jia Huan asked outright: "The master said that my wife is kind to me. Is it because my wife doesn't let me do my homework every day and only makes me copy the scriptures, or is it because I didn't die from diarrhea several times? Going back to Jinling, my wife’s servant gave me medicine but I reaped the consequences?”
Jia Zheng couldn't answer.He didn't really know nothing about this matter, because Aunt Zhao cried to him more than once that day.But at that time, he only thought that Jia Huan was fine, so he naturally wanted to whitewash the peace.Unexpectedly, Jia Huan would say this directly today, how can he answer?
Jia Huan didn't care what Jia Zheng's expression was: anyway, he is just an ordinary commoner now, and the imperial examination will take a few years.At that time, no one will pay any attention to whether he was filial to a beheaded aunt.So what else does he care about fame? !
Jia Zheng could only stare at Jia Huan.From the moment he gave up on Aunt Zhao, this bastard no longer took his words to heart.People are like this, others care about you, what you say is effective, if they don't care about you, what you say can only pollute the air.Of course Jia Zheng would not have thought of such vulgar words, he just realized that this bastard was no longer under his control.
As soon as the visiting time came, Jia Huan and others were kicked out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.If they wanted to see Jia Amnesty and the others, they could only wait until tomorrow at the execution ground.But Mrs. Xing is also an old person. Even though You Shi and Xiao Hu Shi are young, they are women. Such a bloody scene is not suitable.Therefore, Jia Huan was the only one who could go to the execution ground to collect the corpses of several people.
What kind of fate is this? When there was the Rongguo Mansion, let alone a bastard who was not taken seriously, he almost died several times.Who knows that there is no Rongguo Mansion, but they have to collect the corpses for these people!Jia Huan also wanted to ignore it, but he didn't see any members of the Jia family, and he couldn't let him leave a group of women and children behind.
Forget it, even if I owe them.While setting the coffin, Jia Huan comforted herself like this.Fortunately, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian were still there, and old butler Lin gave him a few helpers, which made it possible for those people to lie in the coffin smoothly.
After sending the coffin to the temple for storage, and sending away Jia Zheng and Jia Lian, Jia Huan asked Mrs. Xing about her future plans.Mrs. Xing has been stimulated quite a bit in the past few days, and her hair has all turned white.She expressed that she didn't want to stay in the capital any longer, and wanted to take Jia Cong and sister Qiao back to Jinling to guard the sacrifice fields.
Mrs. You and Mrs. Hu are completely attached to Mrs. Xing. After the old lady disappears, all the rest of the dowry will be in Mrs. Xing's hands.Jia Huan felt that Mrs. Xing's idea was also feasible, but Tanchun and Xichun became difficult problems.
"Huan'er, you are the only male at home now, so you should go back to Jinling with everyone." Now Tanchun doesn't feel that Jia Huan is a burden, she wants to find an ally.
Jia Huan smiled and shook her head: "Third sister was joking. Second brother Bao is still here, and I'm just a bastard."
It was only then that Tanchun realized that what he had said was a little off, but who made the current Jia Baoyu so insignificant that he would never be seen in anything, making it impossible for people to regard him as a grown man.It's just that it's hard to say this directly, and Tanchun can only hope that Mrs. Xing will talk to Jia Huan with her.
It's a pity that Mrs. Xing and Tanchun have different ideas.Now she is taking Jia Cong with her personally, thinking about being a reliance in the future, how can she want Jia Huan, who is already in charge, to grab the family property?Mrs. Xing didn't say a word to Tanchun's proposal, and her intention to refuse was obvious.
Jia Baoyu remained silent.After being in jail for a while, his condition got better and got worse, and he couldn't think of anything except being in a daze every day.What Xue Baochai was sitting beside him was, and Jia Huan had no intention of going into it.
"Will the third sister go back to Jinling with the eldest wife, or stay in Beijing with me?" Jia Huan asked, it's okay if you don't ask, Aunt Zhao will have a hard time.
Tanchun didn't even hesitate: "Of course I have to follow the eldest lady."
