The Prince of the Historian of the Red Chamber

"The old lady doesn't even know about the third sister!" Jia Baoyu said with his neck straightened, tears streaming down his face.

Jia Huan looked at him, unable to conceal the sarcasm in his expression.

The crowd didn't know who gave a sneer, and Jia Baoyu was even more embarrassed, blushing loudly: "It's true, who knew that Wang Ren was such a person, who sold, sold the third sister to such a vulgar person?" somewhere!"

Jia Huan's sharp-edged eyebrows became more and more disdainful, and someone in the crowd shouted: "Oh, I said this 'brother', but they didn't mention that Wang Renwang is cruel. You said that you have never done such a shameful thing. Why do you know so clearly? Since you know so clearly, why don’t you save your sister? Why is this little brother saving her? Tsk tsk, I’ve never seen anything like this before. Brother is not a descendant, it turns out that there are wolf-hearted people here!"

"Hey, I wouldn't dare if I wanted to. People who have sold their granddaughters and younger sisters are still pretending to be pitiful here. What a shameful heart!" A man also added, "If this guy breaks into the house That's amazing, I didn't hear people say that 200 taels of silver was used up for a few days before it was over, tsk tsk, his wife is also pitiful, 200 taels of multiple illnesses is not good, if it is so serious, I'm afraid I can't bear it long ago ——Aren’t you reluctant to see a doctor for your daughter-in-law?”

Mother Jia knew that something was wrong as soon as she heard it.He hurriedly grabbed Baoyu's sleeve to stop him from talking back, and then looked up at Jia Huan slyly. The two voices in the crowd must have been caused by this dirty seed, or how could it be such a coincidence?

Shi Mo was laughing up and down on the turret, he had seen it all, Wang Quan and Dong Fang were talking loudly in the crowd, pretending to be a villager, what the hell, but there is something interesting about it, at this time the ordinary people Bad words are more believable than anything else.It's also hard for these two housekeepers who are already in charge of their own affairs to do it.

Naturally, some people who defend Taoism muttered something: "This is not right. If his grandson is serving the elderly, why would the old man sell his granddaughter? It can be seen that the root is in this grandson."

When he finished speaking, he was choked up rudely, and someone laughed: "Oh, what you said is about people with children. Ask your old lady to sell your daughter into a kiln to try! Selling children during the famine Selling a daughter to Ren Yazi, although they can’t control where Ren Yazi sells people, but I have never heard of any family that would directly sell their own daughters and granddaughters to that dirty place! 200 taels of silver is enough We have lived together as a family for ten years, and listening to others like this is not enough to waste a month, but we have seen it, and we have done it!"

This makes sense, Jia Huan looked at Jia Mu's eyes with a flash of contempt, Te Teer made Jia Mu see it clearly.

Mother Jia's silver teeth were about to be bitten, she simply tore her face, covered her face and cried: "My family has suffered a catastrophe, this unworthy grandson has escaped by himself, but he doesn't even care about his parents and brothers, now we are down and out Well, how can you say that he is also his grandmother, brother and sister-in-law, shouldn't he serve the elders?!"

Someone persuaded Jia Huan like mud, saying: "Hey, I said, the old man sold his granddaughter in a moment of confusion. You take her back and take good care of her, and it will be at peace. Seeing that you are also a scholar, the sages say 'A father tells a son to perish, and if the son does not perish, it is unfilial', disobedience and unfiliality are most criticized by others, take your grandmother back quickly."

A gleam of success flashed in Jia Mu's eyes, she hoped that Jia Huan would take her back to the mansion, even if the dirty seed was just a stopgap measure, as long as she entered the gate of the mansion, nothing would happen. But he is not the only one who has the final say - since it is difficult to welcome the elders back home, it will be difficult to drive them out again. Jia's mother can also hold Jia Huan in the first place, not to mention anything else, as long as Jia Huan doesn't follow her She howled outside, the situation at that time was very different from now!At this time, Mother Jia was still not able to hold her own ground. At that time, the old grandmother in the mansion cried bitterly at the gate and scolded her grandson for being unfilial. No one in the world would let him go...

How could Jia Huan not know about this kind of thing, otherwise she wouldn't be entangled with Jia Mu outside the door. Now Jia Mu is like a person who has been drought for a long time seeing a drop of life-saving nectar. She has already stepped on the ground, But everything can be done.No matter how stupid Jia Huan was, he would never commit such a foolishness, not to mention that Mr. Huan has always been a person with deep pockets in his chest.

Jia Huan doesn't have to argue with outsiders, but the servants behind him can. Just now, Jia's mother turned black and white, and the few boys who got orders were all angry, but their identities couldn't be compared with Grandpa's "grandmother". That's all.Hearing this kind of words at this moment, a boy immediately stood up and said indignantly: "Our master has separated the clan and established a household, and the genealogy is not on a single book! When the family was separated, the Qingtian master of the household department There are records there. Rongguo Mansion's million-dollar property gave our grandfather less than a thousand. Even the house of the old mother who served by the master of the upper courtyard has an exquisite house with a garden, but our grandfather has nowhere to go. Zhuangzi didn't even give it! He was afraid of being blamed by the master, so he hurriedly forced our master to make a written statement, saying that he would live, grow old, sick and die, and live in peace with our family! What's the difference between being expelled from the clan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another kid answered: "Those who say our master is unworthy have been chewed by dung maggots! Unworthy? You should ask how much our master has been implicated. He was working hard in the Hanlin Academy." Shu Jishi, as a result, when the incident happened over there, not to mention protecting the children and grandchildren, but first pulling our master out to top the vat. If it weren't for the masters of Qingtian, if it wasn't for our master who had been separated early, it would be impossible to say that it would be a profit. The evil deeds that should have been eaten by the little ghost were put on our grandfather's head with red mouth and white teeth! Just like this, our grandfather almost lost the fame he worked hard for, and went to the disaster-stricken place in the west' "Die sin and meritorious deeds', in that place, the earth dragon turned over and the dragon king was angry, how many people's hungry lives were swallowed?! If it weren't for our master to cultivate morality and good fortune..."

They are all half-grown boys, and they all look like ordinary children. Now their eyes are red and they are going to talk about it, which is the most embarrassing.

"Go and inquire about it, and when you hear someone's coaxing, you will feel stunned and rush forward!" The oldest boy wiped his tears and said in a trembling voice: "Does the Rongguo Mansion know that white jade is made of gold?" Don’t you know that the horse’s Jia does not know! Don’t say that our grandfather is very tenable no matter what, our grandfather still misses the old love, who will release the money that our grandfather has not given to help? It is the second grandfather Jia How dare you say that you haven’t received any money from our master? Usually, when our master was still in the mansion, the monthly money of more than 20 taels of silver was pinched when the master won the Juren, let alone the money there. It's a person with a red top and a white hat, and our master is especially bad at embezzlement... But during this period of time, our master has helped the clansman to empty out the family's foundation—the third girl's 200 taels of silver disappeared in a few days Oh, and it’s even here to block the door and ruin our master’s reputation! Do we have to tell our master to sell the house and ruin his future before he’s reconciled?”

Nothing is as useful as the word "Rongguo Mansion". The way the people in Rongguo Mansion looked at Jia's mother immediately changed when they heard about it.Rongguo Mansion has always been the talking head in the capital, from princes and ministers to traffickers and pawns, no one has ever spread rumors about the Jia family's right and wrong, and their family has always been domineering and flamboyant.Even the young man in front of them, they have also heard of it, can be regarded as "good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboo". They still have the impression of kicking out a bastard with fame and promise back then to set up his own family. , there are many people here who have ridiculed the Jia family's "brain is broken", but today they saw a real person.

Speaking of which, Jia Huan's reputation is really good. He is a man of the city, and with the help of Uncle Yuan, he and Shi Mo's reputation has been managed for a long time. The word-of-mouth of the two boys is not bad, and Shi Mo is even better - Jia Huan is "good bamboo shoots out of bad bamboo", and Shi Mo's impression is probably "strong and unyielding", "reviving the family" and "good virtues" thing'.No way, birth affects fate. After all, Shi Mo is the eldest son of the eldest son of the historian family. He is more orthodox than any other branch of the historian family. No matter how unkind, the fact that Jia Huan's concubine was born with both parents and elder brothers will always make some people say bad things, and they can't stop them.

Fortunately, the Jia family dug their own grave and caused public anger. The ordinary people don't know about important government affairs, but they know about profit!In the previous dynasty, the phenomenon of big family lending interest flourished, sucking the blood of many poor families, and causing many families to be destroyed.Besides, regardless of the past and present, this profit money is all ulterior motives, and there are many bones and blood debts under the vain money.

The crowd became angry, and a woman with a weathered face threw down the basket she was carrying, and spit at Jia Mu's feet, saying with red eyes, "The black-hearted seed who has lost all children and grandchildren, the bastard wife who was struck by lightning and divided into five ghosts, Why did God confiscate your thing for doing such a thing! The year before last, his uncle injured his leg and foot, and he pawned it in a shop in exchange for life-saving money. The wives and grandmas here do good deeds with good intentions, and it is a great fortune to make us meet, I am! Who would have thought that it would be a goddamn profit for saving lives and putting out fires! The profit is rolling and profiting, have pity on us. A family is defeated, his uncle hated himself for burdening the family, secretly hanged his neck with his trouser belt, a man died like a wimpy... Do such a thing, Yinling will not allow you!"

The woman cried miserably, and the little boy behind her who was six or seven years old and was working with a basket on his back also lowered his head and wiped his tears.

Many people in the crowd were infected, they scolded all kinds of things, and a few young men came forward to push Jia Baoyu, and looked at Jia Huan with unkind eyes.

Jia Huan lowered his head, looking depressed, but the porter at the back came up to protect him and a group of middle-aged and middle-aged men, and said coldly, "Don't say that our master has eaten and drank from that mansion, just take this The crimes were spread to our grandfather! Our grandfather has carried so many accusations in vain, all because he is the son of that mansion, but our grandfather has branched out a long time ago, and now we are not happy to sit together——our grandfather But I have never used a cent or a cent of that black-hearted money! You go and find out, how many people have been helped by our master after he managed to survive and stand on his feet? It is all his own money, and he has already paid off the debt of his birth. !"

Jia's mother panicked, now that Rongguo Mansion is like a mouse crossing the street, everyone is shouting and beating, she never expected that Jia Huan would not hide his origin, and pointed out Rongguo Mansion in public.

On the turret, Ping An hurriedly turned around behind Shi Mo, and Shi Mo leaned against the window edge, looking very leisurely: "What's the rush?" Because of his simple mind, he obeys his master unconditionally in everything, unlike those smart people who have big ideas, but are most trusted by Jia Huan and Shi Mo.A few years ago, the fact that an old shopkeeper next to them betrayed the master taught them a lesson. Since then, Jia Huan and Shi Mo have learned the 'separation of powers' and 'specialization in skills', and never said anything about it. Completely rely on which one to support, no matter inside or outside, the power will not be controlled by that person, and the stewards have to be responsible for the mistakes of their subordinates. Good 'good old people' just wait to be dismissed by power, anyway, there are plenty of people who have sharpened their heads and rushed to make progress.

Only then did Ping An stand firm, and looked at the ground with worried eyes, as if he was always ready to go down to save his uncle.

Shi Mo smiled. From his point of view, Huan'er was showing his position—as soon as this incident happened today, he would be on the opposite side of the 'Former Rongguo Mansion'. Even if someone wants to slander Huan'er's 'disapproval of relatives', he has to weigh it first.

It wasn't until Jia Mu's clothes were torn that Jia Huan raised his head, cupped his hands towards the crowd and said, "It must be that I, Jia Huan, have forgotten my kindness and unfilial piety. I really can't. I want to think of the ancestors of Jia's family, throwing their heads away." Sprinkle blood and make great contributions to get this family business. Until the ancestor's death, Jia's family was still a family of good people, but after the ancestor's death, under the filial piety, only the duke's widow's j□j's status in the family is precious... Until now The family was ruined and the business was broken, the descendants were displaced, and even the ancestors were implicated, and the nobles and titles were cut after death! The Holy One is lenient, remembering the good deeds of the ancestors, and avoiding the death penalty of the family. As early as knowing the money and the evil When doing it, Huan thought that half of the family property was sent to the household department, not to atone for the crime of not being investigated, but to do a little for the people who suffered because of it-Huan knew that the mansion was a sin for the descendants, and Huan It is true that he was born in the Rong Mansion and cannot be denied, so Huan has to bear a share of the guilt! Needless to say, Jia Huan has done good deeds since then, and Jia Huan no longer cares about relatives and marriages, and cuts off offspring to comfort the souls of the dead people! A month ago, Huan recognized the son of a good friend as Adopted son, you will be entrusted with your affairs after death..."

Jia Huan's words were ruthless and decisive, shocking.

Just these few words have already led everyone to pin the source of the crimes of the Jia clan in Rongguo Mansion on Jiamu. The family name was still clear when my grandfather was there, and it was only when my grandfather went to Jiamu to take control of the Duke's mansion that it became like this. If this matter were to be blamed on others, there would be many doubts. Only Mother Jia was different from others. The criminal evidence of her profiteering was announced by the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the matter of her accusing her daughter-in-law and granddaughter as her scapegoat was also released by the prison chief. It was rumored that no one would be surprised if such a vicious woman did anything.

What's more, Jia Huan's words of severing his own heirs to redeem his sins are really shocking. With such an attitude, the world can learn from his goodness of heart.

Shi Mo shook his head and smiled on the turret. With a few words from Huan'er, he killed three birds with one stone. Not only did he trap Jia's mother, he confessed himself, and he also solved the trouble that he had no wife and no children, which would cause suspicion and calculations. It is admirable to be upright and awe-inspiring!

What about Jia's mother, there is no need to worry about her. In short, after today, Jia Huan finally completely got rid of the cloud of being a concubine in the Rongguo Mansion, and no one in the court or the people could use this to slander and attack him.Also achieved a great reputation.

This plan is very clever.

Shi Mo gently put down the jade lamp, adjusted his clothes slowly, and smiled gently and honestly: "It's time for the young master to appear!"

At this time, if you don't give Jiamu a blow in the head, when will you wait? !

"Why is it so noisy? Brother Jia, this... is it?" Shi Xiaomo's wide-sleeved gown looked like a gentleman.

After Jia Huan finished speaking, he bowed his hands solemnly, turned around and went in.Just behind the screen wall, he exchanged glances with Shi Xiaomo.

The steward at the concierge stepped forward and said, "Uncle Mo, this... oh!"

At this moment, many spectators had gathered outside the Zhuofu Garden, but Jia Huan's words resounded loudly, and those people were momentarily stunned. Looking at Shi Mo's appearance, they couldn't help but think that this must be Master Jia's good friend. Well, look at this whole body bearing, to be able to get along with such a person, this young master of the Jia family is indeed a good one.

When Shi Mo saw Jiamu who was lying on the ground, his face turned cold, he pretended not to see her, and said to the crowd, "Please leave." The porter and others also said: "Leave, leave."

It's just obvious that there is still drama to watch, these people are attracted by the twists and turns of the drama, and they are obviously unwilling to leave.

On the other hand, Mother Jia, when she saw Shi Mo, her face changed a little. At this time, she would not think that Shi Mo was her natal nephew. Maybe she won't be so miserable.

Mother Jia, who had lost all hope, blushed immediately and got up to hit Shi Mo.

Shi Mo sneered, "Madam Jia, do you still want to do something? It's just that although my seniority is low, I won't let an enemy like you fight! Have you forgotten who my mother and grandfather are? You killed my grandfather Yuan The family is full, if my little uncle did not fight each other to the death, I am afraid that even my sister and I would not be able to survive! Now that the Yuan family's grievances are exposed to the world, do you think that we don't know who is the culprit when you expose those allied families! You just ask God to worship Buddha and don’t tell us to find evidence, or else... Humph!"

It was only then that Mother Jia remembered that Shi Mo was Yuanniang's son, and then she remembered Shi Mo's origin, and seeing Shi Mo's face became more and more like Yuan's family, Mother Jia seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, as if she had returned to the place where she had nightmares every day and could not sleep peacefully. At that moment, the bloody and ferocious figure in the dream seemed to appear beside her in an instant.

Shi Mo was dressed in white, with a delicate appearance, and his cold face had the air of a little uncle condescendingly, as unattainable as Qiongzhi in the Moon Palace.

"There is an injustice, and there is a debtor. My grandfather Yuan's family has a deep hatred with this person, but they can't distinguish between right and wrong. This matter has nothing to do with my friend Jia Huan, and the Yuan family's revenge will not be involved." Innocent bystanders!..." Very well, the biggest sufferer of the Jia family has said it, do outsiders have the nerve to implicate Jia Huan with the sins of the Rongguo Mansion?

Shi Xiaomo took the opportunity to emphasize Jia Huan's innocence, and then said in a high-spirited indifference: "There is no court conviction, although we will not deal with it privately, but please don't appear in front of us! The court There is an order, 'The Shi Jia family must be supported by his grandson Jia Baoyu, and he will not leave Beijing for life!' You are doing this, but you are disobedient——Although the Holy One forgives the death penalty, there are many punishments in this world that make people live and die. !"

Although the words were sharp, outsiders and others nodded in agreement.

Mother Jia was disheartened. She came to find Jia Huan today, which was the last way. Yesterday they went to seek refuge with Jia Amnesty excitedly, only to find out that Mother Jia was ordered not to leave Beijing for the rest of her life, so Xue Baochai took the children to 'visit' the Grand Master But Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu were stopped.

……

"Second master, old lady, grandma has led the children back from the old man's house, you should go back quickly. The old man's house gave some coarse cloth and rice noodles, Amitabha, the children don't have to suffer from cold and starvation at last...Grandma Said that she was wrong before, she shouldn't get angry with the old lady and the second master, the old lady and the second master spent all the money, and the old lady and the second master should eat well and dress warmly."

The person who spoke was not Yinger, but who else.

Some people spat on Jia Mu's head and face. Didn't they say that the daughter-in-law was sick, and didn't they call the poor children poor?But it turned out that these two people only cared about themselves, tiger poison doesn't even eat children, these two people!

Ying'er touched the banknote on her chest, and stared blankly at Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu who were being beaten in front of her. For the sake of these coins, what's the point of saying such a thing!The children needed food and clothing, and she and grandma had to live well, for this, no matter what, it was worth it!

Jia Mu was not so lucky this time, the fists of ordinary people were much more powerful than those women in the prince's back house, Jia Mu had an old injury before healed and added a new injury, half of her body was paralyzed when she returned.The imperial doctor in the palace came out and managed to hang her life, but Jia Mu could only speak clearly, but she had to lie dead on the bed.

Xue Baochai didn't know what he had heard, so he quietly went out to a room independent of the main house, opened a door from the side, and put Jiamu in.Later, Ying'er asked someone to erect a tall fence between the two sides, and got some climbing vines, it was like two families——

The side door over there is never locked, it's just ajar. Whenever anyone comes to find Jia Mu's bad luck, just go to that end.

Jia Baoyu made a big fuss at first, and jumped to protect Jia Mu, but was caught and beaten by the old man several times, and saw that those people would spare her life even if they humiliated Jia Mu in different ways. Good virtuous grandson" cried for two times and then died down.

Jia Mu was humiliated and tossed every day, but Jia Baoyu, who she gave everything to, was so cold, Jia Mu wished to die immediately to feel better, but she didn't even have the ability to commit suicide, and the Tai Hospital took good medicine to hang her It is clear that her life would be worse than life and death.

Jia's mother was paralyzed on the bed, inconvenient, and the room was very dirty. Every few days, Xue Baochai would ask the woman who came up from Yizhuang to make corpses for her to clean up for her. Jia's mother was suffering from bedsores all over her body.

As time passed, her enemies took great pleasure in venting their anger on her, and they didn't bother Xue Baochai and others much.After another one or two years, the situation subsided, and the defeated families left the capital to return to their ancestral lands to find a way out. Jiamu's room was also sparsely populated, but Jiamu was not relieved. It was extremely difficult for a moment, but there was a prescription prescribed by the sage Lu Shiyi to hang himself, and he couldn't die.

Xue Baochai bought a new small house in a remote part of the capital, and opened a grocery store, and life gradually became easier.However, Jia Mu was still arranged in a separate room in the corner, and there was still a small door that could not be locked. Jia Mu mourned and lived for another ten years. After the death of King Su, the Holy One, she stopped hanging for Jia Mu. Mother Jia died almost ecstatically.

At this time, Jia Baoyu couldn't bear the pressure and left home to become a monk for a while, Xue Baochai didn't ask anyone to find him, and he came back half a year later, Xue Baochai only took care of him as if he had more people to support, the relationship between husband and wife There is nothing, and he is never allowed to intervene in the children's affairs.When Jia Baoyu was depressed, he recalled the scene when he was young, and often cried loudly, and would visit Jia's mother when he was drunk.

But no matter how drunk he was, he only said a few words of grief, kindness and filial piety outside the house, and never stepped into Jiamu's house.

As the saying goes: "The rich do not know their careers, and the poor are unbearably desolate. Poorly live up to the good times, and have no hope in the country and family. The world is incompetent and unrivaled." This is the perfect portrayal of Jia Baoyu.

The author has something to say: Shi Xiaomo and Jia Xiaohuan have also become independent adults.

Shi Xiaomo: It's not easy, it's not easy, I finally found out that I am the protagonist, it's not easy!

Jia Xiaohuan: Well, aren’t we soy saucers?

Uncle Yuan: Am I not the third male after the protagonist?Zhu Yongan, why is my role similar to yours!

Uncle Zhu: ... (Of course we are about the same, if you dare to take you out alone...Prince Zhu was silent for a moment, - pulled that fish out and chopped it up!)
