The Prince of the Historian of the Red Chamber

Jia's mother was so frightened that she fainted. The sage of the Golden Palace actually took out half of Guiquan's prescription, and used chicken blood to reveal the secrets and grievances that had been buried for nearly 20 years in front of civil and military officials... …

What does this mean? Jia Mu knew very well that even if she was pressed to the ground, she could still feel the gloomy and hateful eyes of the four kings and six princes who had been irresistible in the past. Jia Mu's fright was beyond words. Make a ball—even if the Holy Majesty didn't get the half of the Jia family, the clansmen and descendants of other families could swallow the collapsed Jia family with bones!

"Re-investigate the matter of the Yuan family back then!"——This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

20 years ago, what did the Yuan family represent? All the courtiers in the Golden Palace knew that it was the most glorious time for the Yuan family. In the entire Daqing Dynasty, all scholars were willing to have the slightest relationship with the Yuan family. Scholars love to say the words of a saint, and the Yuan family has a lofty status in the hearts of scholars.The Yuan family is an authentic family of scholarly heirs. Even in the Daqing Dynasty, the children of the Yuan family have occupied the land of Mount Tai in the literary world for three dynasties. After several wars, the inheritance has never been cut off.

The old man Yuan is one of the best. He is not only the teacher of the old generation of the two dynasties, but also famous all over the world because he won three yuan in a row before he could reach the weak crown, but he abandoned literature and followed the martial arts to resist foreign aggression. The experience of the time was compiled into a joke, and the traffickers, the pawns, the women, the children, the old and the young have all heard his stories more or less.The old man Yuan is versatile in both civil and military affairs, but he has never been a chief examiner, but most civil servants call themselves "students" in front of him.

The old man is very transparent, and he has always acted in a well-organized manner. Because he has never been greedy for power, he has never violated the taboos of high-ranking people. Winning over the hearts of most scholars in the world——Grandpa Yuan put himself and the Yuan family in a position that would reassure the emperor.

It's a pity that avoiding the emperor's taboo won't be safe, the Yuan family's prestige has attracted the attention of many aristocratic families, and it also blocked the way to abolish the prince-Xianyi and loyal old prince.The Holy One is in love with power, but he is also reluctant to part with the father-son relationship with his favorite prince.However, the crown prince was born too early when the emperor succeeded to the throne. He was nine years older than the second prince. The prince was already quite old when the emperor became the emperor. Years of coveting and suppressing the supreme position, the prince's body and bones are not as good as the holy one.The Keqing and officials who followed the East Palace couldn't wait any longer. They were afraid that the prince would go first before the emperor collapsed. They were afraid that the years of calculations would come to an end, and people kept whispering in the prince's ear, urging the prince to make plans early.

At that time, a concubine of the crown prince in the East Palace once said when she was drunk: "The East Palace will last for a long time, if you are lucky enough to travel the world, I am afraid that the old age will decline, and the emperor's mausoleum will be prosperous before it is repaired..." Somehow the crown prince heard the words The blood flowed like a river in the East Palace, and even though the crown prince killed all the courtiers, relatives and friends of the favorite concubine, he could not cover up the traces of this sentence that were branded in his heart.What's more, the crown prince is feeling weaker day by day, seeing his younger brothers in the prime of life getting worse and worse, they covet the throne even more.

The emperor is hesitant. When he hates the prince for trying to seize the imperial power, he will vigorously support the other princes and let them fight the prince; Sin against the rest of the princes.Repeatedly, the court hall is worse than the mud pit.

The emperor is alright, but the courtiers who are frightened all day long can't stand it, and the emperor is not as majestic and powerful as the founder of the country. It is logical that the factions of the princes are at the same level, and the emperor can no longer hold back ——The chaos in the court almost reached the point of death if you don’t stand in line. At this time, the old man Yuan made the most important decision: the Yuan family chose the fourth son of the emperor who had been on good terms with the eldest son of the Yuan family, and he himself died as a result. A pure minister who followed the emperor.Mr. Yuan's move this time is also a last resort. The Yuan family has always respected the emperor's order and did not engage in factional disputes, but the reality cannot be controlled. Seeing that the foundation of the country is about to be shaken, the best thing the Yuan family can do is to choose a A wise lord, the sooner this fight for succession ends, the better...

If it was just like this, and the Yuan family was defeated by other families, and was blamed and relegated, then it was naturally the Yuan family's luck, since ancient times, official disputes have always been like this, and the Yuan family would not blame others.But the opponent's tricks are too vicious and despicable, it is not clear why the generation of famous officials of the old man was poisoned to death!What's more, after the death of the elder Yuan, the Yuan family retreated from the front, but they still didn't give anyone a chance. What they played was not the scheming that was customary in the official scene, but the shady tricks that could not be seen in the back house again and again. When the third one moved out, the whole family of the Yuan family, except for a young son who didn't know his life or death, even married girls.Poor Yuan's family is full of families, no chickens and dogs are left behind, and the death is extremely wronged.

When the prestige of the Yuan family was at its peak, all the family members were in mourning. The emperor who was on the throne at that time and now the Supreme Emperor was afraid that it would spread to the scholars all over the world to make trouble, and ordered that no mention of the Yuan family's lineage be allowed from now on.

And it was Jia Mu, the wife of Rong Guogong at that time, who came up with such a vicious scheme.

Strife in the officialdom has been cruel since ancient times, but there are always some rules in the fights between noble families, and it is the most shameless to bring out the secret methods of the women in the back house.Because of this, the princes and nobles who participated in this matter were all secretive. They always tabooed the youngest son of the Yuan family who had fled and did not know his life or death. They were afraid that one day they would come back for revenge—now this fear buried in their hearts has become a reality.

Shui Rong closed his eyes dejectedly, and no longer had the strength to fight for a way out: Back then, when Duke Yuan was the emperor's teacher, so many princes and grandchildren in the capital had been taught by him, and Shui Rong was no exception. Speaking of which, Shui Rong, the "virtuous king" Yuan Gong's reputation also took the light of Yuan Gong, because of his extraordinary aptitude, he was favored by Yuan Gong, so his reputation spread out of Kyoto, and he had a very good reputation among scholars.The old man Yu Shui Rong has half of the kindness of his parents and teachers, but he repays his kindness and hurts his family. In these years, Shui Rong has never really felt at ease in his heart - if it weren't for this, how could a person with great ambition like him indulge in sensuality Well, he turned himself into a "Merry King".

'That's all, it's always due. Shui Rong felt bitter in his mouth, and said in his heart, "Looking at the situation today, the descendants of the Yuan family have already returned to the capital, and the creditors are by their side. It's ridiculous that they don't realize it at all, and it's not wrong to lose..."

But human nature is toward oneself, and when you suffer a crushing defeat, there must always be an object or reason for resentment and resentment, so that people will feel better.The Yuan family is in full swing, and they have ghosts in their hearts, so they can't justly resent them.

Therefore, Jia's mother and Jia's family who "sold them as certificates of honor" are the best targets.

Knowing this, Jia's mother was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and she couldn't bear to stay in the golden palace and passed out for a while.

...Being pinned down by the maid who was holding her down and mercilessly grinding the tender flesh on the inner thigh, Jia Mu woke up in pain, her mouth was gagged and her neck was pinned, she could only cry silently.I was hearing the gentle decree from the emperor sitting on the throne: "Shi Jia has merit in prosecuting evidence, and he has credit to the royal family for his great-in-law prince. Pardon her death crime and demote her to a commoner! Untie her, Shi Jia Sir, let’s live and take care of the rest of the world.”

All the ministers shouted: "The emperor is benevolent and filial!"

Mother Jia's eyes are ashamed, if she really has a way, she is willing to die, but if she is not, the rest of the family in distress will definitely not give up, I am afraid that it will implicate her Baoyu... Several young eunuchs carried a dead pig without moving Jiamu was thrown out of the palace in a secluded place, and the leading eunuch looked at Jiamu's tightly closed eyes and teary face with contempt, and was extremely disdainful—he had worked as a servant in Fengzao Palace when he first entered the palace. I have experienced the appearance of the most vicious noble master when her makeup is gentle and graceful, isn't she just like this old godly woman?If someone who doesn't know sees the current situation, he must sympathize with this witch!

"Okay, stop pretending! At this time, what did you do? If you don't stand in the way and don't have anything to do with you, you won't let go of other people's women, children, and your own relatives. Now this fate is all retribution! The little eunuch kicked Jiamu's face and said viciously.

Suddenly Gulu stood up and was about to bump into the vermilion palace wall.But before she could get angry, she was kicked to the ground mercilessly, a bunch of old bones were almost falling apart, and received more than a dozen scratches on the ears, and the little yellow door sneered and said: "Hey! , I really let my godfather guess, you old poisonous woman is really dishonest! You want to die in front of the palace gate, huh, die, die quickly!" Xiao Huangmen pulled her neck and pushed Jia Mother is going to die, but she is close to her ear, and said with a smile: "Die! My godfather said... no, it was Mr. Hua who asked me to bring you a sentence. If you live one day, you will have your precious grandson." One day, there will be the heads of the Jia family and the Shi family. If you die, hehe, think for yourself!"

The little eunuch smiled strangely, and pinched Jia Mu's old face, "I have brought the words, lest you, a vicious woman, think we are coaxing you, now I will say one more thing: You said that you have caused so much resentment, if you are right Once the master is dead, who will the sufferer go to? Hey, who in Hejing City does not know that there is a phoenix egg in the Rongguo Mansion, the old lady is in pain like something, anyone will have to retreat... "

The little eunuch wiped Jiamu's hand with a handkerchief in distaste, shook his head and sighed, and walked away. The other Xiaohuangmen, who were tired of dragging Jiamu out all the way, even spit on Jiamu's face before leaving.

Jia Mumu lay there dumbfounded, like a piece of rotten wood whose skin had finally been peeled off.

"Old, old lady?" Jia Baoyu stood still hesitantly, and called out from a distance, as if he couldn't believe that the person who was more embarrassed than the most humble fish eyeball was the most honorable person in the former Duke's mansion Same.

Xue Baochai supported Ying'er's hand, looked indifferently from a distance, and said to Jia Baoyu, "Isn't it the old lady? Second master, go and pick up her old lady, we have to go home."

Jia Baoyu has been filial to Jia's mother for so many years, even though he was a little reluctant, he still stepped forward to carry Jia's mother.Jia's mother seemed to have regained some energy on the back of "her Baoyu", and said inconsequentially that she had hurt Baoyu in vain. Xue Baochai was tired of hearing this, and walked away two steps with a cold face.

Mother Jia didn't expect the so-called home to be so simple and crude, and it was not as good as the stables in Rongguo Mansion back then. Seeing Jia Baoyu's miserable face every day, she felt distressed and angry.Now all she has left is Baoyu.In fact, Mother Jia never dared to die after she hit the wall and attempted suicide, but she felt in her heart that she lived for Baoyu, so she valued Baoyu more and more—

The old and the young are all people who can't bear the hardships. To put it bluntly, they are people who are "born with a rich body". When the two talked, the one who was useless at all was complaining, complaining that Xue Baochai couldn't cook delicious meals, complaining that Yinger was too slow in making connections, making too little money, and even moved to sell Yinger to slow down. Xue Baochai bluntly rejected the thought of slowing down the day.Seeing that they still didn't give up after refusing, she simply ordered Ying'er to pretend to be sick and put down the work of beating the net.

"Pan'er is back? Pan'er is alright? Why didn't you say earlier, hurry up and give Baoyu money!" Jia's mother widened her eyes and said happily, "Baoyu, hurry up and hire a car, let's go to your uncle's place! "Mother Jia felt that she couldn't live a day like this—but she didn't dare to kill herself, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a doctor to treat her, which meant that she wanted her to suffer!But the Ministry of Internal Affairs only wants to let her live longer, but it will not help them even a little bit, and the more the Ministry of Internal Affairs 'takes care' of her on the surface, the more the other families who have suffered will hate her, and there is hardly a day when they do not come to point out She snorted.Even the three months in the prison, Jia's mother thought it was better than this.

How can it be possible to eat and use the money obtained in exchange for Baochai and Yingernvhong now!Pian Baochai guarded her little dowry so tightly that Jia Mu didn't dare to tear herself away from her at this time, for fear that they would run away and she and Baoyu wouldn't even be able to eat.

Suddenly hearing the news of Xue Pan, how could Jia Mu not be overjoyed!The Xue family somehow escaped the turmoil this time, and there was still some family foundation left. Jia Mu was jealous, but felt that Xue Pan was stupid and easy to fool, so she made up her mind to go to the Xue family to live, even if it could not be like before In that way, at any rate, there will be four dishes and four soups, including meat and vegetables!

Jia Baoyu also looked lucky to have escaped from birth.

Unexpectedly, Xue Baochai stood in front of the door, and said with a sneer, "Where are you going? Why should you go? Do you want Jia to live in Xue's house? What's the point?"

Jia Mu blushed and said angrily: "When your family lived in the mansion for so long, did I ever say that? Why..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Xue Baochai interrupted, "What a generous tune! I bought it with half of my Xue family's wealth! Now you want to buy it too?"

"Listen, listen! She said it! Baoyu, you let this thin-tongued woman argue with your old lady?" Jia Mu pointed at Xue Baochai and wiped her tears.

Boss Jia Baoyu is not at ease. His life has been turned upside down in the past year. He wished it was just a dream. He woke up from the beautiful Grand View Garden, the gentle sisters, the kind and loving old lady, the sister Bao who looks like Yuhuan, and the fragrance of red sleeves. The girls... are still there.

Was Baochai pointing his nose at them? They were greedy for Mo Xue's family property, and Jia Baoyu was speechless to refute it. The list of family raids in Rongguo Mansion clearly stated that there were indeed a lot of Xue family property.He couldn't just let him let go of this savior who was so hard to see, so he could only look at Baochai submissively: "Why don't we relax at Big Brother Xue for two days, and then move out after finding a better house. ?” Pointing at Ying’er, he said with a smile: “There is a wind leak in this room. I saw that you and Ying’er were freezing at night, and I really couldn’t bear it.”

Hearing this, Xue Baochai's face showed no sign of being moved and softened, she had already understood that compared to Jia's mother, who was dark and venomous, Jia Baoyu was really the first-class ruthless person!In the past, when the girl in his house was kicked out or simply died, he would forget about his "affection" after crying. Since she came to Beijing and met this person, Rongguo Mansion has been praised by him. I don’t know how many girls he’s been pestering to and fro, she’s just like a concubine and a fairy, she’s been missed by him for a long time, but it didn’t stop him from fooling around with the girls in the house——Bao Er Master's affectionate kindness has always been only reflected in his mouth and two cat tears, it is extremely worthless!

Ying'er laughed and said, "Second Master, why do you say that, the children are weak and not cold, grandma and I should hold on to the children first."

These words are like a knife. Baoyu is embarrassed and doesn't answer.

Jia's mother was still waiting to be beaten, and Xue Baochai said, "My mother's death is unknown. My brother is angry and confused. Even my sister doesn't want to see her. If you go, you will just explain to my brother." Once this doubt is resolved, my brother has always been upright and dare to act, maybe he can avenge my mother!"

Jia's mother turned her head unnaturally, and Baoyu shrank her neck when she remembered the big fist of his big brother Xue.

Baochai mocked with a smile: "Our family relies on me and Ying'er to make a living..."

Seeing that she seemed to let go, Baoyu was pleasantly surprised, but he heard her say: "Why don't you find the old man's family, as well as the eldest sister-in-law and Lan'er? Although the old man's family is also dilapidated, at least they are all beards." In the end, Lian's second brother is capable of common affairs, and sister-in-law Zhu is a chaste woman, and Lan'er is a scholar. The court didn't even deprive Lan'er of her fame, and sister-in-law Zhu's body was returned in full Well, the two of them are orphans and widows, and we are also relying on each other, why don't you go and beg them?"

Mother Jia's face drooped, could she have imagined what Xue Baochai said?Ever since she regained her senses and started thinking, she privately asked Baoyu to find the boss's family and Lan'er's mother, but the boss, that rebellious son, left his mother and hid it tightly. Baoyu didn't inquire about it for several days. arrive!Li Wan is also a hidden traitor. Since she is a chaste woman, she should serve her elders. She is fine, she hides in Li's house and keeps silent as if she is dead. No, she bah!

Even at such a dead end, Mother Jia did not lose her calculations—not only Jia Amnesty and Li Wan, but also Jia Huan, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun...the younger generations, and the servants like Lai Nanny's family. , She has thought about it one by one, but except for Jia Huan, the others are not angry, and if they go, they will have to get a share of the pie.

Jia Huan, in fact, Jia Huan was the first thing Jia Mu thought of, no matter what, she is Jia Huan's biological grandmother, compared to Jia Yun and others, Jia Huan and her blood are closest, and Jia Huan is still a concubine of the Imperial Academy , the wind and rain in Jia's house didn't bother him at all, and he still lives in a big mansion with rich clothes and fine food. Can this not make Jia's mother jealous?But Jia's mother didn't dare to act rashly. Since the grandson was established, she suppressed and plotted a lot, but she often made herself ashamed.

"When Ying'er and I were selling jobs, I heard someone mention it, and the description was vaguely like that of Sister Feng." Xue Baochai said calmly with lowered eyebrows.The two of them in front of her are troublesome and burdensome, if she has a way, she doesn't want to lure them to other people's houses, but she has seen the faces of these two people before, if she doesn't say that, maybe they will have to go to her brother's house in the end .

This time Xue's family was also investigated, and the property of several houses was confiscated. The old family in Jinling lost their minds. They heard that they had gone their separate ways. She had to cut off contact, and she would only have her elder brother as a family member. Even if her elder brother did not forgive her for not seeing her, he still remembered her as a younger sister in his heart, Xue Baochai thought as he touched the 50 taels of silver note hidden in his bosom.Her brother escaped from death by a narrow margin, and she can no longer add trouble to his heart.

Speaking of it, Xue Pan was also lucky, the Jia family was defeated, and the matter of his beating to death was brought up again. Shuntian Mansion was already on the way to get his servant, but Xue Pan and Shi Gui were on the way. Xidi happened to rescue the imperial envoy who was injured in the disaster riots. Not only that, Xue Pan deliberately detoured here this time to donate tens of thousands of taels of silver in the caravan - it turned out to be a fool Xue The oath he made before leaving Beijing to find someone said, "If Shi Gui can be found on this trip, he is willing to build bridges and pave roads to relieve refugees to repay God's favor and redeem old sins!" '

Sure enough, he found that person during this trip, Xue Dafool ​​was overjoyed, and when he heard that the west was in trouble, he immediately came to fulfill his wish, and happened to diverge from the person who went to the south of the Yangtze River to report his funeral.But he didn't expect this incident to save his life: his goods helped a lot, at least temporarily calming down the victims and giving the court time to mobilize relief supplies, and the imperial envoy personally wrote a letter to him to express his merit.The life of Feng Yuan, who was beaten to death by Xue Pan's entourage, was compared to the tens of thousands of victims who benefited from the disaster. At least the Ministry of Punishment chose the latter. Pan's life lawsuit was closed.

During Xue Pan's detention and imprisonment for more than a month, Shi Gui was so busy that he never left, and he was so thin that he lost his shape.When Xue Pan was released home, all they had left was a small house with two entrances under Shi Gui's name and a family property of several hundred taels. Just like that, the heart of a family of three hugging each other was warm.The overlord finally passed away, and Xue Pan was like a newborn. He spent more than 20 years in a daze with the destruction of the Rongguo Mansion and the separation of the Xue family. What was left behind was a stupid, loving, and down-to-earth big fool.

******

"Where are they? Where are they?!" Mother Jia's hands trembled with excitement, wishing to seek Jia Amnesty's family immediately.

Jia She's family lives in the countryside more than 200 miles away from the capital, so it doesn't mean that they can walk.

But the next day, they had to leave.

Because people from Zhenguo Gongniu's family and Liguogong Liu's family came in a huge crowd, all of them were women and children. The windows that had just been sealed were smashed, and if it weren't for the fact that this group of people didn't have the strength to demolish the house, there might not be a house left.

An old lady with silver hair pressed down and scratched Jiamu, even if Jiamu grabbed her hair, she would not let go. Several young daughters-in-law came up and stepped on Jiamu's hand, rubbing it on the ground, The hurt Jia Mu wailed and begged for mercy, the old lady sat on Jia Mu's stomach, and suddenly started crying: "Those are all the crimes of you bastard, even if my children and grandchildren let go of their lives, you will be fine!"

Only then did Xue Baochai, who had rushed out with Ying'er in her arms, know that just at dawn today, Niu Jizong, the first-class uncle of the Duke of Zhen, and Liu Fang, the first-rank son of the Duke of Li, had lost their heads at Caishikou and were captured. Also asked to beheaded were several descendants of the Niu family and Liu family who had committed serious crimes, as well as the housewife who carried her life on her body, so that more than a dozen men were sentenced to exile.The corpses of these people were ordered to be burned to ashes, put in the smallest earthen jars, and hung on the crooked neck tree in front of the former site of the Yuan family to make amends—they couldn’t even collect the corpses. Mother came desperately!

The Niu family and the Liu family were given a big killing ring, which is really not wronged.When the Yuan family was in trouble, it is true that the masters of the Yuan family were poisoned to death, but the hundreds of people in the Yuan family did not all die like that. Guiquan is a forbidden drug for the palace, which is unsuitable. Jia Mu and those people are reluctant to use it on unimportant people.The more than one hundred members of the Yuan family were wiped out by the Niu family and the Liu family. They not only murdered, but also raped and looted. Going back, he was beaten to death by his wife in the inner house after half a month of rape, humiliation and teasing.

This is just the beginning. As the tragedy of more than ten years ago is dug up again, more people will die and more people will be questioned. By then, there will be more than just Niu and Liu. It is inevitable that the Jia family will have no peace. up.

Xue Baochai and Ying'er held the ignorant children in their arms, and their eyes burst into flames. Xue Baochai could even foresee that even if her son was motivated and hardworking, even if the sage had said that he would not be involved or involved, but he was burdened with such injustice. The future of the children is also bleak...

"Okay! Stop!" Just when Jia's mother was about to be beaten to death, the yamen servant who was ordered to "take care" of her opened his mouth, frowned and said in disdain: "Dog bites dog, what? I don't care if you scold her. I just have to save her life! I also advise you, save some hands, so that it will last for a long time! If you kill her this time, what will happen in the future?"

The group of mourning women and children were chased away cursingly. The yamen servant looked at Shi Shi and spat at Mother Jia: "When I want to exchange value, you add trouble to me and have to hire someone for you, a beast. It's really bad luck!"

Then he ordered the two soldiers under his command to look at Jiamu, and he ran to ask for a doctor for Jiamu.

Mother Jia rolled her eyes and slumped on the ground, her face was so smeared that people would dislike it even at a glance.It's just that her life is indeed very hard. After all, Jin Zunyugui has taken care of her for decades, and the palace is willing to give her medicine. The doctor on the street came to see her. He let go and let people go, and when he turned around, he threw the medicine bag on the ground and let it go.

Xue Baochai picked up the medicine bag, really unwilling to make medicine for her in her heart, but she had to do it.She also knows the words "Jia Mu lives, Bao Yu lives", if there is a way, she really wants these two people to die cleanly, but she needs a man to support the family on the bright side, so that her son can grow up smoothly.

Jia Baoyu rushed in early and hugged Jiamu to the bare wooden bed. He didn't know whether to be filial to Jiamu or for his own life, anyway, he kept calling Yinger to decoct the medicine.

Xue Baochai gave Yinger a wink, Yinger coaxed the children, Xue Baochai started a fire in the yard, secretly picked out some valuable medicines she knew from the medicine bag, and asked Yinger to sell them quietly—— Their master and servant are not stupid, if they just rely on the two of them to make some female celebrities to run the house, they will not be exhausted, not to mention the children are only a little old, and they can't be sloppy.
