The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Zijuan went out to the shop to buy some padded clothes and snacks, then went straight to the Ministry of punishment, used silver on the door, and went in smoothly.Zijuan first went to the women's prison to visit her mother and sister-in-law. The prisoner in the women's prison saw that Zijuan was well dressed, and the gold hairpin and gold earrings on her head were worth dozens of taels of silver, and they were generous. There were two or three taels in the door bag, so he accompanied Zijuan to the prison door with a happy face.

Zijuan saw that her mother and sister-in-law were wearing thin and shabby clothes, and the mother and daughter hugged each other to keep warm, she couldn't help crying, and cried, "Mom, sister-in-law, you have suffered."

Hearing Zijuan's voice, Zijuan's mother froze for a moment, and suddenly raised her head to look at the prison door. She couldn't believe that it was her daughter standing there. Zijuan's sister-in-law reacted faster than Zijuan's mother, and she rushed to the prison door Weeping and shouting: "Good sister, get us out quickly!" Zijuan's mother rushed over immediately, stretched out her hand and grabbed Zijuan's hand and shouted: "Zijuan, why are you here, hurry up!" Go back to Miss Lin."

Zijuan cried: "Mom, sister-in-law, have you suffered?"

Zijuan's mother hurriedly said: "Good boy, don't worry about us. We are just servants. We are far away from the top. We don't know anything. It's just that we will be betrayed by the officials after the case is closed. Anyway, we are slaves. Whose family will do it?" It's all the same, good boy, you are lucky, you have a good master like Miss Lin, you have to take good care of her, and you will have a good life in the future, now your parents and your elder brother and sister-in-law don't care about you, You have to take care of yourself."

Zijuan's sister-in-law didn't think so, she grabbed Zijuan and shouted eagerly: "My good sister, please go and beg Miss Lin to save us. Miss Lin is the head of the county, and the catastrophe of the Jia family was caused by She stood up, it would be difficult for her to save someone."

Zijuan's face turned pale, and he said straightly: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about, our girl has never had any intention of harming others. She was forced out of Jia's house and returned to her own home. She has no contact with Jia's house. Sister-in-law, don't slander her." Our girl."

Zijuan's sister-in-law hurriedly laughed and said: "Sister-in-law can't speak, sister, don't be angry, you'd better go and beg Miss Lin, and beg her to save us for your sake."

Zijuan shook her head and said: "The Jia family violated the national law, and they will sell off the prisoner as long as the case is closed. Then I will go and redeem my parents, brother and sister-in-law. The girl has already rewarded the money. Now the case is over. Jie, the girl can't do things that violate the laws of the country." Zijuan's mother nodded and said: "This is the best, I don't know where it was sold, but now I have Juan'er's words, so my mother can rest assured. Good Juaner, you Go back and kowtow to the girl for our family, and thank Miss Lin for her kindness."

After hearing this, Zijuan's sister-in-law just cried: "Who knows when this case will be closed? Mom, my daughter-in-law is already three months pregnant. Do you want her to give birth to the child in a prison?"

Zijuan's mother was startled, looked at Zijuan's sister-in-law and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Zijuan's sister-in-law lowered her head and said: "We are stupid people, so what can we do if we talk about it, the last time the child died in less than three months, this time the daughter-in-law thinks that after three months, she will be stable again. told."

Zijuan's mother was a little embarrassed, she looked at Zijuan and said: "Juaner, your sister-in-law is pregnant, look..."

Zijuan is also very embarrassed. Daiyu has made it very clear that she will never save people in advance, but the case of the Jia family is complicated. If the case is settled, it will take a year or so at least. Or if the little niece is still alive, she will really be born in a prison. "Sister-in-law, don't worry, let me think about it again. Now that you have a body, you can rest assured to raise your baby. I will visit you often."

Zijuan's sister-in-law only thought that Zijuan agreed to ask Daiyu, so she smiled and said: "After all, it is my sister who has the ability, and our family can all point to her."

Zijuan's mother looked at Zijuan, sighed and said, "Juaner, don't offend Miss Lin."

Zijuan nodded, bent down, picked up a bundle on the ground, stuffed it through the cell door, and said softly: "Mom, here are two cotton-padded clothes and some food. You and your sister-in-law are wearing them anyway. I have to go see my father." and brother."

Zijuan's mother nodded and said: "Okay, Juan'er, when I saw your father and brother, I said that I am very good with your sister-in-law, but I was locked up, and I didn't suffer any grievances."

Zijuan wept softly and nodded, while Zijuan's sister-in-law tightly hugged the bundle that Zijuan stuffed in, watching the other servants in the same cell vigilantly.As soon as Zicuckoo left, those people rushed up and stared at the burden.Zijuan's sister-in-law shouted: "Don't come here, my sister gave it to us."

"Damn, you two are worthy of this, just because you two wash girls' clothes. I am the wife's companion, and I am much nobler than you. Hurry up and give it to me." A tall servant woman shouted with her hands on her hips. .This person is none other than Mrs. Xing's companion Wang Shanbao's family.

Zijuan's sister-in-law shook her head, and Wang Shanbao's family was about to grab her. Zijuan's mother rushed forward and protected her daughter-in-law behind her, and said sharply: "Wang Shanbao's family, everyone is a prisoner now, don't show off, this is my daughter's gift." Here, I have the final say on how to distribute it, what are you!" The other servants wanted to rush up to grab it too, but when they heard what Zijuan's mother said, they stopped and looked at Zijuan eagerly. mom.

Zijuan's mother turned around and took the bag and opened it, only to see that there were only two new cotton padded clothes inside, and there were quite a lot of dim sum fruits. Zijuan's mother opened the dim sum fruits and shared a share with everyone except Wang Shanbao's family.Everyone was imprisoned for several days, and there was no oil in their stomachs. When they saw the shiny snacks, their saliva flowed several feet long.Wang Shanbao's family screamed with anger, but those people took advantage of Zijuan's mother, and they joined forces to squeeze Wang Shanbao's family into a corner, so that she could not move.

After everyone had eaten, they looked at the two cotton-padded clothes eagerly. Mother Zijuan picked up one and walked to Wu'er, who was the thinnest and thinnest, and said softly to Wu'er, "Wu'er, you are not in good shape." Well, the clothes are thin, put on this padded coat." Wu'er looked at Zijuan's mother in surprise, and Zijuan's mother smiled and said: "Good boy, it's a pity that your mother is not locked up with us, and you have no one to take care of her. "Wu'er looked at Zijuan's mother with tears in her eyes, and shouted emotionally: "Auntie..."

Zijuan's mother straightened Wu'er's hair and said with a smile: "We are all in trouble, and we can't get through without helping each other."

What Zicuckoo's mother said made everyone nod their heads. No one expected that Zicuckoo's mother, who usually does not show her mountains and dews, would have such insight.Zijuan's mother picked up another cotton padded jacket, saluted everyone, and said, "My daughter-in-law here is three months pregnant, so let her wear this cotton padded jacket first, everyone agree?"

Zijuan's mother acted fairly, everyone was convinced, nodded and said: "Sister-in-law is very right." Wang Shanbao's family pouted, and said coldly: "What are the sellers of small favors and small benefits!"

Zijuan's mother didn't want to quarrel with her, so she just turned her back to help her daughter-in-law get dressed, but the other servants couldn't stand it, and said, "Sister-in-law Wang, please settle down, it's not like being in Rongguo Mansion now, you We can only listen to the shouting and shouting, if you really anger everyone, you will have no good results."

Zijuan came to visit the prison, giving many servants of the Jia family a glimmer of hope. Everyone wanted to build a good relationship with Zijuan's mother. If Zijuan could buy herself in the future, they would be out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Zijuan took the other two cotton-padded clothes and food to the men's prison. Seeing that Zijuan was born well, the male prisoner acted like a girl from a big family, and couldn't figure out Zijuan's background, so he was polite to her. After collecting the money, she led Zijuan to see her father and brother.

Zijuan's father was the sweeper in the Rongguo Mansion, let alone the master, even second-class maids were rarely seen, and her elder brother was a handyman in the kitchen, so he was not an important person.Therefore, he did not suffer any crimes, but was detained.Zijuan gave the things to her father and elder brother, but Zijuan's father just said with a tiger face: "Damn girl, whoever asked you to come, forget it this time, and you are not allowed to come again in the future." Zijuan cried and called her father. But father turned his back and ignored him, and only waved Zijuan away.Zijuan looked at his brother with tears and called him brother..." Brother Zijuan looked at his sister and said in a low voice: "Sister, dad is right, you are a girl, how can you always run here, go back quickly, and take good care of me Master, take care of yourself and leave us alone. "

Zijuan took her brother's hand and said, "Brother, I just went to see my mother and sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is three months pregnant. I'll go back and think of a way to make her more comfortable."

Brother Zijuan sighed heavily and said, why is he pregnant at this time, I don't know how long he will be in prison? " Zijuan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, brother, I will come to see you often, and I will redeem people when the case is over.The girl gave a lot of silver, which must be enough. "

Brother Zijuan nodded and said: "It's the best to be able to do this. Our family didn't do anything harmful to nature, and it doesn't matter even if we go to court. Good sister, brother has no skills, this family is all counting on you."

Zijuan hurriedly said: "Brother, don't say that, we are a family."

Brother Zijuan was very moved. He pulled Zijuan and said in a low voice: "My good sister, brother knows what's on your mind, but it's useless now. The second master Bao has been sent to the clothes bureau as a slave. You have to take good care of Miss Lin, so you can figure out your background in the future."

Zijuan was stunned, she hurriedly asked: "Shouldn't Second Master Bao be imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple? After all, he is the younger brother of the empress in the palace, how can he be a slave?"

Brother Zijuan shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but I was on duty at the door that day, and when I saw Second Master Bao being tied up, I listened carefully, and they actually wanted to send Second Master Bao to Huanyi. Then I didn’t see Second Master Bao come back.” Zijuan shook his head, tears fell down, “How can this work...Second Master Bao is precious, how can he endure such hardships? "

Brother Zijuan grabbed Zijuan's hand vigorously and said: "Sister, what time do you still think about these things? My brother told you that I want you to give up. If you serve Miss Lin with all your heart, you will definitely have a good place in the future."

Zijuan nodded blankly and said: "Yes, I see." Then she walked out in a daze.Brother Zijuan shouted anxiously: "Sister, sister..." But Zijuan walked out straight away as if he couldn't hear it.

The two guards of the Lin Mansion waited for a long time outside the Ministry of Justice before Zijuan came out. Seeing Zijuan lost his mind, they looked at each other and followed without leaving a trace.Zijuan walked aimlessly for a while, as if she suddenly woke up, she ran to the side of the road and shouted: "Uncle, do you know where the Clothes Bureau is going?"

The guard of the Lin House whispered: "This girl asked what the Huanyi Bureau is doing? Why didn't you go home after visiting the prison?"

The Clothes Washing Bureau is located in the northwest corner of the imperial city. It is dedicated to washing clothes, bedding, curtains and other things of the people in the palace. The clothes washing bureau is also divided into levels. Of course, the person in charge does not need to wash them by himself. Assign your own work to the handymen who do odd jobs.Most of these handymen are court ladies and eunuchs who have committed crimes.This is the first time that a big brother like Jia Baoyu has appeared in the clothing bureau.Because of the words of the prince, no one in the clothing bureau regards Baoyu as a son-in-law. Anyone can beat and scold him. Baoyu has to get up before dawn every day, and he is not allowed to eat or sleep until he finishes washing twenty barrels of clothes every day. When Baoyu first arrived, he refused to do this kind of rough work. The head of the Clothes Bureau could not help but say that he came up with a whip and beat him well. A good piece of flesh is hard to find.This time the beating was severe, and Bao Yuxiu said that she was calling her elder sister and younger sister, even if she called her old lady, it was useless, the pain penetrated to the bone.Baoyu had washed clothes several times, but the things he washed were dirtier than those that hadn't been washed.Later, other stewards came up to persuade him: "Don't beat him anymore, he was really broken, who will do these jobs?" After hearing this, the steward in charge of Baoyu kicked Baoyu hard, took the whip and cursed walked away.

Seeing that there was no one around, a steward whispered to Baoyu, "Second Master Bao, you are so rich in Rongguo Mansion, why don't you come here to manage things, as long as you have money, are you afraid that life will be difficult?"

Baoyu cried: "I can't tell my family and ask them to send money."

The steward smiled and said: "What's so difficult about it, as long as Second Master Bao writes a note, I'll send it out for you. Let's see how you can endure this kind of hardship with your delicate skin and tender flesh. You should write it quickly, just write it." I want the family to send 5000 taels of silver, and I will guarantee that the second master will be comfortable in the future."

Baoyu dared not listen, so he wrote a note and asked the man to send it to Jia's family.Because of writing the note, Baoyu got an hour free.In fact, those things just now were originally done by the manager of the Huanyi Bureau, just to extort money.

But in an hour, the person who delivered the note came back with a sullen face. He pulled Baoyu and rounded his arms and slapped his head with a few big slaps. Character, it turned out to be such an unlucky bastard, you wouldn't know how powerful you are if you don't kill yourself!"

Baoyu was beaten so badly that he wailed and howled, "I didn't write a note asking the family to give me money, so why beat me!"

"Hey, give me money? Humph, your Rongguo Mansion has been confiscated, what are you dreaming about, dog, let me see if I can't beat you to death." As he said that, he continued to beat Baoyu until Baoyu didn't feel any better. The skin is so fleshy, it's just horrible.

When the man was almost finished beating, another manager came out and said: "Forget it, let the manager rest for a while, it's hard to say if you really beat someone to death, wouldn't it be better to keep it for leisure?"

After hearing this, Guan Shi threw Baoyu aside and left cursing.

Baoyu was so angry that her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't see them, and tears welled up in her eyes. Baoyu cried softly: "Old ancestor, help me..."

Zijuan found out that the Huanyi Bureau was in the northwest of the imperial city, so she rented a car from a carriage and horse shop, bought cotton robes and food, and ordered the driver to drive the car to the Huanyi Bureau.The two guards of Lin's mansion lowered their faces and said in a low voice: "Is Zijuan from our Lin family? No matter how nice the girl is to her, she still thinks of others. I heard that Baoyu from the Jia family was sent to Huanyi by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The bureau is gone, she must be going to explore Baoyu." The two still kept up with Zijuan, and after walking for more than half an hour, they arrived at the clothes bureau. Knock on the door lightly.

Not long after, someone came to answer the door, it was an old nanny, Zijuan hurriedly saluted and said: "Little servant has seen nanny."

The nanny frowned and said, "Who are you, why did you come here to call the door?"

Zijuan hurriedly said: "The maidservant is a servant of the Jia family, our young master was sent here, and the maidservant came to visit."

It was big news that Baoyu was sent to the Huanyi Bureau, and everyone in the Huanyi Bureau knew about it.Even the old lady who guards the corner gate has heard a thing or two.She frowned and said, "This... no, you have to see that it must be Jia Baoyu. If he committed a crime, I can't let you in."

Zijuan knelt down and begged: "Mama, our young master has never suffered, please show kindness and let the servants go in and have a look at him." The old mother glanced at the hairpin in her hand, but still shook her head. Zijuan gritted her teeth, and took off a pair of gold earrings from her ears and put them together with the golden hairpin. Slowly said: "Speaking of it, it doesn't matter if you take a peek at it quietly, but you can't talk, you can only watch from a distance."

Zijuan nodded hurriedly and said: "Don't worry, Mammy, the little maid will definitely listen to Mammy's words."

The old mother stuffed the gold hairpin earrings into her bosom, looked at Zijuan's clothes, shook her head and said, "Your clothes are not good, that's all, I'm a good person to the end, come and change clothes with me." Let Zijuan enter the small door, and after the old mother closed the door, she led Zijuan to a small house not far away, and asked Zijuan to change into the clothes of a maid from the clothing bureau before leading her Go to Baoyu.

Baoyu was thrown by the haystack in the stable, and he was alone at the moment, but no one was watching.The old mother pointed to Baoyu and said, "Here, isn't that just Jia Baoyu, who committed crimes!"

Zicuckoo looked in the direction of the old mother's finger, and saw a bloody man lying there, looking at the bloody man.She couldn't help shrinking her shoulders and said, "Is that really Second Master Bao?"

The old mammy said angrily, "It's not him."

Baoyu heard a familiar voice sounding from a distance, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and saw a girl standing four or five steps away, this girl was Zijuan following his sister Lin.Baoyu didn't know where the strength came from, but suddenly stood up and rushed to Zijuan, screaming: "Zicuckoo, save me!"

Since Zijuan followed Daiyu, she also has some cleanliness addiction. She doesn't like to look at unclean things. Zijuan instinctively backed up a few steps to avoid it. Said: "Second Master, Zicuckoo came to see you, you have suffered!"

Baoyu flew into the air and fell heavily on the ground, falling so that his internal organs were out of place. Baoyu was out of breath in pain. Zijuan stepped forward to help him half-supported and half-armed. : "Good Zicuckoo, quickly ask the old lady to save me!"

Zijuan also cried: "Second Master, the whole family has been arrested in prison, how can the old lady save you?"

Baoyu shouted again: "Then let Sister Lin come to save me. We are always the best. The old lady even said that she would marry us. She is my fiancée, so she should save me. Zijuan, tell Lin Sister, tell her to come and save me quickly. As long as I am saved, I will definitely take you into my house after I marry Sister Lin, and let you be my aunt!" Baoyu seemed to see the hope of life, and at this moment she spoke with confidence. With strength, Zijuan's face turned red and white and then blue, she wanted to throw Baoyu down, but her love for Baoyu for so many years made her unable to do so, but Daiyu was also very kind to her, just this time However, if she hadn't been serving Daiyu, I'm afraid she would have been taken to prison.What Zijuan originally hoped for most was that Daiyu could marry Baoyu, so that everyone's wishes could be fulfilled, but now Baoyu is no longer the lifeblood of the phoenix egg in the Rongguo Mansion. Said that Zijuan was hesitating, but Baoyu held Zijuan's hand tightly, pulled Zijuan down and kissed him hard: "Zijuan, you are my man, you must rescue me..."

Surprised, ashamed and angry, Zijuan pushed Baoyu away, turned around and ran away.The old nanny watched all this quietly, shook her head contemptuously, spat and walked away.

Baoyu stared at Zijuan's back in a daze, and suddenly shouted: "Zijuan, save me quickly, and I will confiscate you as soon as I get out..."

Zijuan ran to the corner door in a hurry, and the old mama's legs and feet were not slow, so she followed up. Zijuan stuffed the clothes, snacks and bundles into the hands of the old mama and said anxiously: "May I ask you to give this to me?" Second master, my maidservant has gone back." After Zijuan finished speaking, she opened the door and ran out, and the old mammy laughed and said, "Give that straw bag, I'll save it for myself to eat and use! "Opening the bag, I saw that the dim sum inside was actually from Babaozhai. This big box cost more than one tael of silver. It's worth seven or eight taels of silver, and the old mother smiled proudly: "It's rare that I can make a small fortune today."

Zijuan left the clothing bureau, cried all the way along the wall and searched for the car she rented. After getting in the car, she ordered someone to drive the car back to Lin's mansion.He had been discussing with Zijuan's two guards, one of them quietly sneaked into the Clothes Bureau to inquire about Zijuan, and the other followed Zijuan back to the Lin Mansion.
