Red Chamber Fellows: You Are Not Guilty

Since the ceremony of the full moon of the dragon and phoenix twins, Duke Ding has rarely been seen in Beijing.It seems that it was not because of his memorial that most of the people in Beijing paid off their debts one after another, they have hidden merit and fame.

Most people's thinking is that if you can't find Lao Tzu, you will have to trouble his son.But after inquiring, his son is not easy to provoke, not to mention that his grandfather was the second emperor's teacher, the queen is his aunt, his uncle is currently a cabinet scholar, and his father-in-law is also the deputy capital censor.

What's more, he is no longer a rookie who has just entered the officialdom, he is already a senior member of the third rank, and he has the title of son of the prince.There is also a large group of pen posts behind them waving the flag and shouting.Can't move, can't move at all.Even those who hate Jia She to the point of gritting their teeth, they can only sell their properties aggrievedly—unless you don’t want to be an official anymore, or those slippery writing style can make you [-] stumbling blocks a day , Do not delay eating believe it or not.

When they sold their property, someone would come forward to buy it, but the price had already been lowered by these people. If they wanted to raise the price, they could only wait for Jin Yiwei to come to the house and seal the door.So there was a situation in Beijing where some people were happy and some were sad.

The emperor is the one who is happy: Zhong'an has been put to death.The family members were excluded from the clan and demoted to common people, and they could only be confined in the mansion and not go out.The Niu family headed by Niu Jiye was even punished by the Nine Clans. Only Niu Ping'an remained in his original position because of his meritorious service in the first report, and continued to complete the great cause of building the granary with Li Yi.

Such a swift and resolute move would not have been possible without the Supreme Emperor's approval.These old fritters in the officialdom immediately saw the direction of the wind, and none of them dared to cry poorly, and rushed to the household department to pay back the owed money.

The treasury, which had been empty for many years, was finally half full. Would the emperor not be happy?

Zhang Shangshu was also happy.He no longer needs to be trembling with people who come to the household department, for fear that they are here to borrow money, because the people who come now all pay back the money!It's just that sometimes when the ministry is short of manpower, he still wants Jia Lian to come back, but with Jia Lian's current level, he can get what he wants.

Jia Lian is also busy.His old man packed up and left without even going through the handover procedures with him. He just threw him a silver note of 50 taels: "This is Mr. Shi's. Wait for the people in Beijing to sell Zhuangzi, houses, shops, etc. , you look at buying some for him, so that he won’t hang around our house every day.”

He also told Jia Lian: "If you have spare money, you can buy some. These are things that make money. After passing this village, there will be no such shop. You have two sons."

After King Pingjun heard about it, he also asked Mother Lin to give Jia Lian the 40 taels of silver note under Daiyu's control: "My brother also looked at it and bought some for me. Father is right, who knows how many there will be in the future?" Son, you have to take advantage of the cheapness to leave some property for your child."

Then Jia Amnesty took Mr. Shi and Jia Cong, and King Pingjun himself, and they all left mercilessly, leaving only Jia Lian with a thick banknote in his hand.When he went back to the house with the bank note, after Sun Yuan inquired about the source of the bank note, a more disturbing scene appeared:

"Second Lord, these 10 taels of silver bills are the money I put at the bottom of the box. Father is right, we have two girls, and this dowry has to be saved from childhood." That's right, the mansion still kept the original money. Because he is in a hurry with anyone who wants to be called Master Jia Lian.

This day is over.

The sad and angry Jia Lian, holding a million taels of silver bills, has never been so annoying.Who are they?

When he complained to Mrs. Xing, he found that Mrs. Xing was hesitant to speak, but she had no choice but to do this, "Mother also has some spare money, do you want to buy a Zhuangzi or a house?"

Mrs. Xing only offered 5 taels: "This is what I have acquired over the years, and it doesn't take much, as long as I can buy two houses and two shops. You should look after your mother, this is for me. Sister and Ningning."

After hating bank notes, Jia Lian felt that children were not cute anymore. Children are debts, and the ancients did not deceive me.

No matter how unwilling he is, Jia Lian is still a man who keeps his word, promised everyone, and tried his best to do it.When the banknotes in his hands were finally exchanged for land deeds and house deeds, and handed over to Mrs. Xing, Sun Yuan and Daiyu respectively, it was time for Jia Amnesty to return home again.

Jia Amnesty is not what everyone thinks. He is far away from the capital. He lives in a village thirty miles away from the capital. Every ten days or so, he always goes home to have a look. He just doesn't participate in general celebrations. that is.

Looking at the various deeds that Jia Lian handed over to him, Jia She was a little surprised: "So many?"

Isn't it a lot? Mrs. Xing's 5 taels bought two houses with four entrances, and three shops in good locations. Others can figure it out.

Jia Lian wiped away the bitter tears that had dried up long ago: "You know how much your son has suffered in order to buy these things. It's not that they have been carefully selected and compared. How dare you come before your eyes."

Jia Amnesty did not hesitate to praise: "My son has really benefited. You have such a good vision, so I can rest assured. Yes, this shrewdness is indeed my son." Although he is a cheap son.

Jia Lian wanted to blow up again when he heard the same confession, but now he couldn't listen to it, so Jia She had no choice but to comfort him: "For example, your father is just making an analogy."

From the pile of deed papers, two Zhuangzi with an area of ​​[-] hectares were picked out: "Congcong and An'an, one for each." Two more shops were picked out: "Sister Qiao and Ningning, one for each."

That's Mr. Shi's good or bad.Seeing his father being so blatant, Jia Lian felt that his life was going to be disillusioned. Seeing his expression, Jia She remembered that he didn't tell him that there was his 50 taels in the 20 taels, but that he gave it to Jia Cong under the guise of Mr. Shi's name. Save some money.

"Mr. Shi probably prepared these things for Cong'er. He can't use them himself, and he doesn't want to marry a wife. So Cong'er gave them to his nephews and nieces, and you just accept them."

This is not a question of whether to accept it or not: "Father, I, my brother, will buy Cong'er's future family property for him, and Mr. Shi will worry about where it will be used. If Cong'er knows that these things were made for him by outsiders, let him How does he think of my brother."

At the end, Jia Lian angrily characterized him as Lao Tzu: "You are, you are sowing discord between our brothers!"

Even though Jia Lian's face was not good-looking and his words were not good-sounding, Jia Amnesty was happy to hear it: "I am really relieved to hear you say that. It's okay, it's okay, I will tell Mr. Shi. You Don't worry," followed by a troubled expression: "Mr. Shi has a good foundation."

You are such a father!Jia Lian was really disillusioned this time.

At night, when Jia Lian forced Sun Yuan to keep the deed that Jia She had forced on him, he told her what Jia She had said today, and Sun Yuan also looked uncomfortable: "Is my father still giving birth to me?" Are you angry? Are you afraid that I will say something at that time, so that Cong'er will get nothing, so you handed Cong'er to Mr. Shi?"

After thinking about it, I went to see Jia Amnesty, "I'll go and make amends to my father, and let him rest assured that as brothers and sisters, we will definitely not treat Cong'er badly."

Jia Lian couldn't hold back Sun Yuan who wanted to change Jia She's impression, so he had to accompany him to Rongxi Hall.At this time, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing had already rested, and they were startled when they heard the two hurriedly asking for an audience.

As soon as he entered the door, Sun Yuan knelt down and said: "Please forgive my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law no longer cares about winning. She must be friendly to her younger siblings. Please rest assured." and so on.

Mrs. Xing was at a loss, but Jia Amnesty was consoling: "Get up, let's talk when you have something to say. Lian'er, help your wife up."

After Sun Yuan sat down, he still kept pleading guilty, so Jia Amnesty taught Mrs. Xing what he had said to Jia Lian in the afternoon.Mrs. Xing also persuaded: "Daughter-in-law, you are overthinking. Your father is a man who can't hide his words. If he really annoys you, he will quarrel with your natal father, and he can wait until today."

Jia Amnesty also said: "Speaking of it, Mr. is also a poor man. Back then, he followed Nian En's father wholeheartedly and delayed the marriage. I asked him several times, but now he has no idea of ​​marrying a wife. But he is alone, If you don't want people to feel at ease, I will make Cong'er his disciple, and I will have someone to accompany him in the future."

Only then did Jia Lian and Sun Yuan feel relieved, knowing that Mr. Shi really cared about Jia Cong, so he planned for Jia Cong at this time.But Jia Lian still said: "Even if Mr. Shi regards Cong'er as his son, Cong'er is still from the Jia family."

"Mr. Shi didn't ask him to change his surname, why are you so anxious." Jia She felt that this cheap son had to compete with him today.

"In the future, Cong'er will also have a share of the things in the mansion." Jia Lian talked about his thoughts, and Sun Yuan also nodded in agreement.

It turned out that it was because of this, Jia Amnesty only said: "I told you that day, everything in the mansion belongs to you."

"When was that?" Jia Lian disagreed.At that time, he had just met Jia Cong a few times, and he hadn't said a word.Not to mention seeing each other every day now, this younger brother is sensible and polite, Jia Lian got up early and wanted to support each other with him.

Jia Lian spoke very earnestly, and Sun Yuan nodded sincerely. Mrs. Xing was very pleased to hear that, and Jia Amnesty replied: "It will be decades later, so let's talk about what he is doing now. I will really be gone by then. , and still manage your messy accounts." And a little angrily: "Just because of this trivial matter, I won't even let you sleep, you are really my good son."

Mrs. Xing did good and evil: "Okay, it's okay to talk about the future. It's not early, you should go back and rest soon. Doesn't Lian'er have to go to the Yamen tomorrow?"

He asked again: "Is there anything I can use before I leave every day?"

Sun Yuan only said: "This Zhao mama is more meticulous than us, it doesn't count if you send someone to deliver it every day, you have to watch the second master eat it."

Jia She said: "This is a rare and loyal person, so don't be too harsh. The children in her family, if they still need to be used, give them some dignity."

Jia Lian agreed with Sun Yuan, apologized for disturbing their rest, and asked them to settle down before returning to their yard.
