Enemies in the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty's nanny also knew that the matter was urgent, so he walked slowly with his belongings behind him, and found his cousin to send the letter to Yangzhou as soon as possible.When Jia Lian received the letter, his heart skipped a beat, and he had bad thoughts, so he hurried to discuss with Wang Xifeng.

Sister Feng was put in the heart by Jia Min, and she gave birth to a son, so she thought about it a lot. Seeing that Jia Lian was still lustful, she didn't force her. Never mind.After having another son, he relaxed even more.Jia Lian also changed a lot after being taught a lesson by Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, at least he stopped talking when Sister Feng taught the concubine to pour the soup.Originally, those women were just here for fun, not to have sons, and there was no need to make their serious wives unhappy for them.

Wang Xifeng and Sister Qiao were playing with their two sons. Seeing Jia Lian rushing over, her expression was different, and she hurriedly ordered the nannies to take the children down.Ask him: "What's wrong with you? Why are you in the back house at this time?"

Jia Lian only handed her the letter in his hand, "Look quickly, something serious has happened!"

Sister Feng's complexion changed slightly, "Second Master is running on me for being illiterate! It seems that the newly recruited girl Yan Ran has won Second Master's heart, and she still wants to add beauty to my red sleeves when she comes here! It's a pity, I'm just a Village woman, after studying for a long time, I still can't understand these square characters."

Jia Lian slapped his head, "Second Mistress, don't be angry, I'm just confused. You sit down and I'll tell you, Master's letter, this time something really happened!"

Seeing his expression, Sister Feng knew that there was something wrong, so she stopped worrying about his slip of the tongue, sat down and poured him another glass of water to listen to him quietly.

"The report from the imperial palace has not yet arrived. The master sent someone to send it quickly. The virtuous concubine was overworked at the funeral of the Supreme Emperor." She gritted her teeth and said with difficulty: "I'm afraid there is something wrong inside, master. We are not allowed to go back, saying that as long as it is not ordered by the emperor, no one is allowed to return to Beijing. There will be a large amount of property shipped in later, let us figure it out."

Sister Feng was also stunned at the moment, she pursed her lips and asked: "Do you think the matter of your empress has something to do with the Supreme Emperor? It is the Emperor..."

Jia Lian sighed and said: "It seems so. You know, our family and the Ning Mansion have always followed the Supreme Emperor. This time, the matter is full of evil. The master said such a thing again. Not good!" Then he sighed and said, "Fortunately, we left the mansion a long time ago. When Uncle Lin returned to Beijing, he listened to his persuasion and stayed. Even though the past few years have been difficult, it was worth it."

Sister Feng let out a breath of foul air slowly, "Then we will be fine?"

Jia Lian shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't do anything. The master is the man who inherits the title and is a decent head of the family. There are no separate families in our house. One who doesn't manage the family strictly can't escape. I am the eldest grandson, even if we all do it Those who are clean will be held accountable. However, no matter how serious it is, if the master’s words are truly fulfilled, I am afraid that he will be confiscated and dismissed from office, and the Rongguo mansion will be taken back, and the family will return to the old Jinling house to farm."

Sister Feng patted her chest rejoicingly, "Fortunately, after I found out that the second wife was selling the sacrifice land, I wrote to the master and took back the land deed for the sacrifice land. I have bought a lot over the years, which is also a gift You can see the family property well, and our son will not have to suffer in the future." Then he asked: "What about the second wife? What will happen if you do those things? And the second master?"

Jia Lian shook his head and didn't know.

A few days later, the old lady sent a letter asking Sister Feng to go back to take charge of the internal affairs. It is said that Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and even Li Wan are sick, and Xue Baochai is five months pregnant. With a manned housekeeper, we can only let Sister Feng go back.

Sister Feng and Jia Lian sneered, and immediately replied that the youngest son was ill and could not travel far.Then the pace of purchasing land as ancestral property was accelerated.

When the news came back to Beijing, the old lady was trembling with anger, she kept calling Jia Lian and Sister Feng unfilial, no longer the covert and sarcastic accusations as before, but clearly pointed out the word unfilial.Jia Amnesty just went back with a cold snort. If he had been worried before, he would not be filial if he was not filial. Who cares about you? Anyway, it is estimated that the grandchildren below will not be able to be officials. Don't let go.

Immediately after the funeral of the Supreme Emperor, the emperor attacked Jia's family.The Ningguo Mansion was searched first, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were all imprisoned, and then the Rongguo Mansion was moved.

Maybe the emperor didn't hate Rongguo Mansion as much as he hated Ningguo Mansion. When the Ningguo Mansion was raided, it was General Zhengxi who had just returned and brought his own soldiers there.The Rongguo Mansion was brought by the King of Beijing with the imperial guards. Although he would take the opportunity to make some money, he was much more disciplined than those soldiers.

King Bei Jing ordered Chang Shi and his entourage to watch, and he sat with Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng under the eaves of the porch to watch. The wives, grandmas, girls and Baoyu all gathered in the old lady's room.

Seeing boxes of things being moved out, the old lady was lying on the couch panting heavily, Mrs. Xing and Li Wan twisted their veils and frowned. When the two big boxes were brought out, they even shook as if they were about to faint.Baochai was sitting beside her holding her stomach. She didn't know whether it was due to psychological reasons or she was really too stimulated. She always felt a dull pain in her stomach, but seeing the mess in the house, she didn't dare to say anything and could only sit down as much as possible. more comfortable.Xichun had become very silent when Ningguo Mansion was raided, and now that Rongguo Mansion is also in trouble, she is even more silent, sitting at the farthest place from the crowd, reciting Buddhist scriptures line by line.And Baoyu stood at the window with Aunt Zhen, holding her daughter's hand in one hand and watching the forbidden army walking around the mansion.With tears in her eyes, Aunt Zhen murmured to herself: "Could it be that this is my fate? I can't escape it after all." Baoyu didn't seem to hear it, everything in his eyes seemed to lose color, and he remembered When watching the theater that year, Sister Bao said, "There is no fate, and we are separated in a blink of an eye. Naked, there is no concern for coming and going."

After a while, the king of Beijing had someone carry two big boxes in. Now that the field is not so particular about avoiding outsiders, the house is full of children and family members to pay respects to the king of Beijing.The old lady also trembled slightly, supported Yuanyang and Li Wan's hands and stood up to salute King Beijing. King Beijing hurriedly helped the old lady up, "You don't need to be polite, old lady, Xiao Wang came in to ask about these two boxes of things. Which wife does it belong to?"

When I opened it, one box contained various pawn tickets, while the other box was an IOU for loan sharks.At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang fainted as soon as she closed her eyes, her forehead hit the foot of the chair, and blood flowed out shockingly.

King Beijing Jing knew it well, and ordered people to carry the two big boxes out, and then put a seal on them to take them back as physical evidence.

The old lady pointed at Mrs. Wang tremblingly, almost out of breath, Yuanyang tried her best to give her a little breath, and scolded angrily: "Damn whore, you are trying to kill the whole family, aren't you! Last time the second child I had already warned you when I was blocked to sue, but I didn't expect you to burn the IOU and level the account books, and then dare to commit the crime again! You, you..."

"Old lady..." Yuanyang yelled loudly, and when she saw the old lady talking, she wanted to lean back and support her with all her strength.Mrs. Xing and the others hurried forward to help the old lady back to lie on the couch again.

Unexpectedly, the ups and downs will rise again, and the old lady just calmed down here, when Ying'er beside Baochai shouted, "Second Grandma, what's wrong with you, the imperial physician, call the imperial physician quickly." I didn't react, and I still called the imperial doctor as usual.

I saw Baochai groaning in pain while hugging her stomach, her face was distorted out of shape, blood slowly dripped from her clothes onto the floor, forming a big pool drop by drop, which was heart-wrenching to watch.

Baoyu was already frightened into a fool by the events before and after, but Aunt Zhen couldn't see it and pushed him hard, "Go and ask the prince to find a doctor!"

Baoyu stumbled and ran out, knelt in front of King Beijing and cried bitterly, "I beg your lord to be merciful and help you find a doctor, my wife, my wife..."

Jia Zheng suddenly changed his face, and asked loudly, "What's wrong with your daughter-in-law?"

Baoyu uttered in pain, "The child is going to be gone..." Then he suppressed and cried non-stop.

King Beijing immediately invited a doctor from outside, but Baochai's child was not kept.Baochai seemed to have been drawn into anger, with a face like gold paper, lying there without saying a word.Seeing that she was pitiful, King Bei Jing did not take Baochai away forcefully, but sent someone to inform Xue Pan, and asked Xue Pan to take care of her.Then he pushed a group of men and women out of Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Min and Yingchun hurried over when they heard the news, and happened to meet King Beijing coming out.The two hurriedly got out of the car, and the maids behind each brought a few bundles and walked towards the female relatives.

Jia Min pleaded with King Beijing: "My lord is on official business, so it shouldn't be difficult for my lord, but I pity my mother and sisters-in-law, who have never suffered much. I beg your lord to take pity on us married daughters with filial piety." Allow me to bring some clothes and food for them." Yingchun followed behind and nodded beggingly.

King Beijing finally agreed, and said: "Madam, don't worry, the emperor's sage will definitely not wrong innocent people." After saying that, he got on his horse and left. The women's family members, led by the old lady, and the men, led by Jia She, were also escorted away. .

Yingchun worriedly followed Jia Min back to the Lin Mansion, and kept asking on the way: "Will the old lady and the lady be all right?"

Jia Min naturally wanted to say that they were definitely fine, and then asked her: "What's in the package you sent? Did your in-law's family ever blame you for the Rongguo Mansion?"

Yingchun said: "It's the same as usual. Both the uncle and the wife persuaded me not to think too much. The things in the bag are just a few cheap cotton clothes, and some pancakes and snacks that are easy to fill. There are some small items such as rings, jade pendants, gold, silver and nudes hidden in the corner of the clothes. I originally wanted to put more gold and silver, but our wife said that I am afraid that others will snatch them before I touch them, so it is better to prepare some practical ones. , Small things are easy to hide, and when you are in prison, you can easily take them out to bribe the jailer so that you won’t suffer.”

Jia Min said: "That's the reason. I also prepared these things. Although your husband's family treats you as before, you should know how to be grateful." Yingchun nodded happily.

Due to the pressure from above, the Ministry of Criminal Justice's trial of the members of the Rongguo Mansion was very fast. After the trial, a memorial was published, and the imperial decree came down within ten days.Jia amnesty confiscated the title, Jia Lian dismissed from office, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were exiled for three thousand miles, all property in the mansion was confiscated except for the old lady's private property and Li Wan's private property, the Rongguo mansion was taken back, and all the servants were sold.So far, the only one in Rongguo Mansion who still has a grade is the old lady.

The author has something to say: Because Mrs. Wang was held accountable internally earlier, there are only two boxes of IOUs pawned as bills, and the punishment she received was lighter.
