Enemies in the Red Chamber

The old lady didn't take Jia Min's help to welcome the spring, but another incident made the old lady feel more grudges against Jia Min, and even became resentful.

Something happened to the Zhen family, and someone took the opportunity to sue Lin Ruhai. The first thing was to cover up the Zhen family and help him cover up his lack of employment.Because the Lin family responded in a timely manner, except for someone who fished in troubled waters and added a job to exploit the Lianghuai salt merchants, which caused great public grievances, there were not many people who fell into trouble and added other crimes to Lin Ruhai.

At this time, when Lin Ruhai's term of office was about to expire, the Holy Lord seized the opportunity to seize Lin Ruhai's position as a salt administrator, and gave it to a person who appeared to be neutral on the surface but was secretly biased towards the present. The imperial envoy went to investigate what Lin Ruhai had done in Yangzhou.This person is none other than the Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong who secretly expressed to the present the Lin family's intention to surrender.It can be seen that the series of measures taken by the Lin family to prepare for a rainy day are effective, and the emperor is not too dissatisfied with the Lin family.

But some people are restless and want to find a sense of existence.When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Zheng say that the Lin family might be in trouble, she laughed three times in her heart, and then pretended to go to the Lin family to "comfort" Jia Min.

"My aunt, don't panic, the emperor's holy candle will definitely not wrong anyone.", "Fortunately, the prince of Beijing was sent as an imperial envoy. Our family has always been on good terms with the family of the prince of Beijing. Looking at Rongguo Mansion's face, the prince I won’t embarrass my aunt too much.”, “Girl Yuan can also speak in front of the emperor, and Pan’er in his aunt’s house was saved by Yuan Chun after begging the Holy One.”, “There is only one woman in Beijing, the aunt. , it’s inconvenient after all, the master and my brother are still sacred hearts, and they can help my aunt to take care of it.”

Jia Min felt uncomfortable, how could he bear Mrs. Wang's indecent words, and immediately stopped back with a sneer, "The second wife should not bother about my family's affairs, the master is honest and upright, and he is loyal to the king and the people. How can he be a villain?" If you want to slander, you can slander. The second wife also said that the emperor's holy candle has been illuminated, so she will naturally return my master's innocence, and she will not just listen to the words of the women in the harem to decide the case based on this. Is it fun? As for the housekeeping, I won’t bother my second elder brother and Mr. Wang. The one who cleans up will clean up himself. My family doesn’t have that much money to fill in.”

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she said in a strange voice with a pale face: "Since the aunt said so, then I will wait for the emperor to find out, and the aunt will be promoted to the rank. If it is not what the aunt thinks That way, don’t say that we have no relatives and leave it alone.”

After returning, he sighed and complained to the old lady, "I heard the master said that my aunt was sued before the imperial court, and I was very worried. I wanted to go to my aunt's place to ask if I could help. It was also the meaning of relatives. The empress still has some weight in her words in front of the holy car. Even if she can't intercede, she can still listen to the news and beat the side drum. Who knows that the aunt is not only ungrateful, but also ridiculed me, saying that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and this word must be spread How should a lady behave? Who am I doing this for! I said that it is inconvenient for the aunt to take care of it. If the master does not help, the aunt will still be ungrateful. What is said is that the master wants to covet her. Although the family is not very rich and would not plot against my aunt at this juncture, it broke my heart."

The old lady listened to her with half-closed eyes, and only then did she react when she heard Jia Min arrange Yuan Chun and Jia Zheng. But she knew what kind of person Mrs. Wang was, and she wouldn't just listen to her words.But what she said about letting Yuan Chun and Jia Zheng help the Lin family is still very good.

After Mrs. Wang left, the old lady ordered Yuanyang to go to Lin's house in person and called Jia Min to come over, intending to ask carefully what happened to Lin Ruhai's being sued.

Jia Min was angry with Mrs. Wang, and was no longer as close to the old lady as before, and threw Yuanyang a sentence, "The second wife wants to get rich and let her go to another house. My Lin family doesn't have any extra money to fill her private house." To see off guests.I also don't want to go to Rongguo Mansion and be lectured by the old lady about Rongguo Mansion's help.

After hearing this sentence, the old lady knew that Mrs. Wang was still thinking of making another windfall just like what happened to Xue Pan, but it was a pity that Jia Min was not Aunt Xue, so she was pushed back.As for Jia Min not coming, he must have already made up his mind that he does not need the Rongguo Mansion's help, so he didn't take it to heart.Who knows, something happened to Mrs. Wang within a few days.

After Sister Feng gave birth to her son, she didn't think of rushing to send a letter to the capital, but arrived with another letter from Jia Lian.Just a few days after Mrs. Wang went to find Jia Min.

In the letter, Jia Lian listed the price of goods in Jinling, the harvest of Jinling's fields in previous years, the current status of the ancestral house, the belongings of the servants left behind in the old house such as Jincai, the list of victims who were robbed and robbed under the name of Rongguo Mansion, the list of the ancestral properties of the fields over the years. The additions and deletions, Jincai and others' confessions were clearly recorded one by one, and he explained that these were all investigated by him himself, and he could send evidence at any time if he wanted it.And this letter was not only given to the old lady and Jia Amnesty, but each house in Jia's house got a copy.

The Jia family regards the two mansions of Rong and Ning as the most important. Although Ningguo mansion is the patriarch, it seems that the Rongguo mansion is more noble, while the other houses are relatively poor. Most of them rely on these two mansions to make a living.But even so, they would not be reluctant to hear that someone used the life-saving method of sacrificing the ancestral property. The juniors only murmured and did not dare to act rashly, but the seniors all went to Jia Zhen and the old lady for an explanation. .

Jia Zhen didn't dare to be self-absorbed, and besides, most of what Jia Lian said was about the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, so she went to ask the old lady to show her.The old lady didn't expect Mrs. Wang to be so courageous that she even dared to sacrifice the land and ancestral property, and she hated it in her heart.But now she still has to give Madam Wang face, explaining the difficulty of building the Grand View Garden again, and also emphasizing the words of the mother of the imperial concubine, and promising to fill in the private house, and finally put the matter down.It's just that Mrs. Wang, the wife of the housekeeper, can no longer be the housekeeper, and only Mrs. Xing is left in the whole house, so she handed over all the housekeeping rights to Mrs. Xing.This time, it was not the same as when Wang Xifeng was the housekeeper. He only had the ability to see the accounts and assign people without the key to the warehouse. Instead, he handed over everything to Mrs. Xing.

Later, Jia She felt that Mrs. Xing was not good at housekeeping, and decided to give Sanchun the right to be the assistant of the Grand View Garden, and specifically emphasized that Miss Ru'er was a big girl who was carefully raised by the Zhen family, and she was more economical than Sanchun. Assisting Sanchun, he made up his mind not to let Erfang Ansheng.Anyway, everyone knows that Mr. Xi is a fool, and it's not just once or twice that he doesn't follow the rules. This time the order came out, except for being chewed for a few days, it didn't hinder him.It's just that Baochai suffers, and the situation is even more embarrassing.

Looking back afterwards, the old lady decided that it was Jia Min who gave Jia Lian the idea. Maybe Jia Lian didn't find out some things at all, but Jia Min didn't like Mrs. Wang and asked Lin Ruhai to collect them.She felt that, not to mention that Jia Min has been in the south for many years and has a wide network of contacts, Jia Lian is incomparable, but the timing and means are beyond the reach of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.Don't think about it at all, it's only been a few days, and Jia Min is busy with Lin Ruhai's affairs, how can he have the time to prepare such things.

With the lessons learned from the past, Mrs. Xing also checked the things in the warehouse when she first came to power, and finally found that the warehouse was almost empty, and there was another big disturbance.Jia Amnesty sneered and asked Jia Zheng to give an explanation, and the account books would be slapped on his face. Jia Zheng said this time that he knew nothing and no one would believe him.

Jia Zheng didn't want how much money he spent to buy paintings and calligraphy for Qing Ke, and he didn't want how much gold and silver he had filled in the palace because of Yuan Chun. responsibility.Jia She, who was looked down upon by him, lost face again and again. Jia Zheng turned his head and killed Mrs. Wang. No matter what, he must come up with an explanation within ten days, or let her use her own private house to make up for it. It must satisfy the elders and wives.

Except Mrs. Baoyu Wang hated everyone to death, but she had to find a way to get over this matter.She did steal a lot of things into her private house, but if she wanted to satisfy Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing, not only would she have to take out all the greedy things, but she would also have to make up for them from her own dowry. Mrs. Wang had to find another way to find them. a scapegoat.After much deliberation, except for the things that the Zhen family kept in her place, only the Xue family was available, and she made up her mind to let Baochai enter the house as soon as possible.

Mrs. Wang is having a hard time, and Aunt Xue is having the same experience as she was on the hot griddle.Xue Pan's reputation was ruined, he carried a murder case on his body, and put on a show, at least he found a girl from a merchant's family who he had a good relationship with before to marry.The Xia family has no boys, only one daughter to support the family business. In order to prevent the family business from being encroached upon by the tribe, the plot is the power of the Wang family and the Jia family that he relies on behind him.Just in time for discussing marriage with Xia Jingui, Xue Pan's eldest son was born with a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and within a few days, his eldest daughter and second son were also born.

On the same day, just in case, Xue Pan was given Tongfang to keep the blood of the Xue family. Later, after paying the penalty, several Tongfang already had children in their stomachs. Aunt Xue was reluctant to bear the child and decided to keep it. down.The Xia family didn't know that Xue's family still had this matter, so naturally they didn't agree after hearing about it, and there was another commotion.It's just that because Xia Jingui often shows up in public and is aggressive, it's hard to get married, so the Xia family didn't think about retiring, they just got some benefits from the Xue family.Holding back her anger, Xia Jingui secretly decided that she must reward them well when she passed the door, so that they would know that she was not easy to mess with.In this way, after Xia Jingui entered the door, it made sense to embarrass Aunt Xue and Baochai even more.

Through this disturbance, Baochai naturally saw that her future sister-in-law was not a good person, and if possible, she really wanted to go out before her brother got married.Even if there was no such possibility, Baochai urged Aunt Xue to collect her dowry first.Although she felt uncomfortable that a girl had to be so shameless and scheming, she knew very well that Mrs. Wang's interest in her was partly because she wanted to compete with the old lady, and partly because the Xue family was rich. In order to satisfy Mrs. Wang, not to mention whether she will have a better life in the future, the Xue family will also be excluded by her.

Both parties wanted to get married as soon as possible, so Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue agreed on a date. One month after Xue Pan got married, Baoyu and Baochai were married.

Because of the comparison of welcoming the Spring Festival and the complete six rituals, Baochai's marriage seems to be more and more unruly and out of order, which can be regarded as unique in a wealthy family.

Regardless of the matter between Mrs. Wang and the Xue family, Lin Ruhai was brought to Beijing by Shui Rong to defend herself.After returning to Beijing, Lin Ruhai didn't meet his family first, but went directly to the palace to meet the emperor.It is also a water-soluble memorial that is beneficial to Lin Ruhai, or before Lin Ruhai left, he rectified the salt policy and added [-]% more income to the national treasury. Home.Ten days later, he was directly transferred to Hanlin Bachelor.

If a new imperial examination student enters the Hanlin, then it is a sign of a bright future, and it is not empty talk that the non-Hanlin will not enter the cabinet.If it is like Lin Ruhai who reversed from a position of real power to Hanlin, then it means being marginalized.

Although outsiders looked at the Lin family as desolate, the Lin family let out a sigh of relief. The sword hanging above their heads finally fell. Although they made a small cut, they were not fatally injured. , I believe it will not affect the Lin family.
