"Holy Father" Jia She of the Red Chamber

Recently, it is a good day for people who like gossip, because there is indeed a lot of gossip recently.

And for those ordinary people, whether they like gossip or not, these days are good days.

Because the recent gossip is all about the officials, and the common people are really interested in the gossip about the officials to a certain extent.

When the Ministry of Households collected arrears of money and made those high-ranking officials feel embarrassed, the common people took a good look at the gossip of these officials, and now it has only been a few days, because it is the most common among the officials. It's really, really, really enjoyable to put usury and involve two big families.

Wang Ziteng didn't believe it at all, but his sister was caught giving loan sharks, so why did he stay in the prison in Shuntian Mansion? He hadn't eaten for a few days, and his family members came in, looking at His nephew Wang Ren and Wang Ziteng were completely paralyzed.

"What's going on? Why did you come in after only a few days, where is Luan'er?" Wang Ziteng grabbed Wang Ren's collar and shouted: "Also, there are our old relatives, and the third prince. , They will not watch our Wang family fall."

Wang Ren was out of breath being pulled by Wang Ziteng, but he couldn't escape from the general Wang Ziteng's grasp even after a long time, so he could only blushed and said, "It's gone, it's all gone, the Wang family used it to frame the former prince. The name was ransacked," Wang Renxian burst into tears when he said this: "Everyone has been taken away and locked up, uncle, the Wang family is over, the Wang family is over."

Wang Ziteng slumped on the ground in disbelief, muttering to himself: "Impossible, impossible, how could my Wang Ziteng be finished, how could my Wang Ziteng be finished."

"Why not?" Situ Yu stood outside the cell with a smug smile, looking at Wang Ziteng who looked particularly embarrassed because of today's prison life, the smile on his face widened: "The majestic Jingying Jiedu envoy, unexpectedly Not being loyal to your father, wantonly framing the former crown prince, you think your father will spare you."

"No, I didn't," Wang Ziteng rushed over and stuck to the railing, waving his hands forward, trying to catch Situ Yu: "You framed me, you framed me, there is nothing wrong with the former prince." relation."

"Does it matter?" Situ Yu sneered, "Perhaps the so-called evidence I found before was a bit ambiguous, but the secret letter with the third brother found in the secret compartment of your study this time will make you look good." , you are also cautious, you want to keep the handles of the third brother, but you didn't expect that these handles are the best evidence to kill yourself and drag the third brother into the water. Speaking of this, the prince would like to thank you Well, don’t worry, your verdict will come down soon, and you can’t wait too long.”

After finishing speaking, Situ Yu laughed and turned to leave, leaving Wang Ziteng there waving his hands, as if he wanted to grab something, but what could he grab, what else could he grab, when Situ Yu's figure disappeared At the corner of the prison, Wang Ziteng's hope seemed to have disappeared, and his eyes were completely dark.

"Uncle, uncle, what to do, what to do, I don't want to die yet, I don't want to die yet." Wang Ren stepped forward and pulled Wang Ziteng's clothes and began to cry.

But at this moment, what else can be done?

Indeed, not even the third prince who has been quite proud recently.

At this time, Situ Xi was looking at Situ Zhi angrily, and raised his hand and threw a teacup on Situ Zhi's head: "You bastard, you bastard, I'm not dead yet? You dare to do this, it's simply Great rebellion, great rebellion."

Situ Zhi knelt on the ground, and he didn't dare to be dissatisfied even when he was beaten by the teacup until his head was bleeding. , the son didn't mean it."

In the face of ironclad evidence, Situ Zhi really can do nothing but beg for mercy, because of the evidence left by Wang Ziteng, Situ Zhi can only admit it now.

"It wasn't intentional," Situ Xi said with a murderous look in his eyes, "I think it's because I've been so kind to you that you have such ambitions. Who is Reng'er? That's the prince. That's the prince I've appointed. How dare you Dare to frame him, you unfilial and disrespectful thing." Out of breath, oh out of breath, Situ Xi stepped forward and kicked Situ Zhi heavily several times, and after kicking, he couldn't help but gasped for breath. non-stop.

Situ Zhi gritted his teeth fiercely, pressed his head tightly on the ground, and sneered in his heart, look, this is the royal family relationship, you abolished your own son, but now you put this pot on my head, actually It's just that I don't want others to sit in that position.

Dai Quan cautiously stepped forward, seeing Situ Xi's livid face, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the people below are here to report that Concubine Zhen Gui is kneeling outside the hall now, pleading guilty."

Situ Xi glanced at Dai Quan with a gloomy expression: "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel. Come here, and pass the decree. The third prince, Situ Zhi, has no respect for his elders. He is imprisoned in the palace, and he can't get out without summons. As for the turbulent Rongguo Mansion and the Wang Family, I copied it, and the main suspects will be dealt with according to the law," Situ Xi looked at Situ Zhi who was still kneeling on the ground in disgust, and said, "Give me the This rebel drags it down."

Seeing his unfilial son being dragged down, Situ Xi sat wearily on the dragon chair: "Dai Quan, tell me, are my sons wishing that I would go sooner? Longing for this chair under me."

Dai Quan rolled his eyes, lowered his head and said, "I don't know, but I know that the emperor is wise, and there are always princes who are truly filial to the emperor."

After hearing this, Situ Xi sighed faintly: "From now on, the fourth child is still the most filial."

Dai Quan silently closed his mouth, but he remembered these words firmly in his heart.

In the Rongguo Mansion, it's like a chicken and a dog jumping around now, all the masters are gathered in the Rongqing Hall, the female family members can't stand the blow, and they are crying non-stop, covering their handkerchiefs.

Jia Lian looked at the people in the room with a gloomy face, and sneered in his heart: Fortunately, since he knew that Mrs. Wang didn't have any sincerity for him, he hid part of the dowry left by his mother, and didn't hide it in the mansion. Instead, he secretly bought a Zhuangzi in the suburbs and shipped all the things there. Otherwise, if the house is ransacked now, all of his things will not be able to escape because of the things Wang Xifeng committed.

"Old Ancestor, what should we do now?" It was Tanchun who said this. With the current situation in Rongguo Mansion, all the mistresses who can manage the house have been locked up. The sister-in-law is not a chaste woman, and she can't even keep their dowry.

Shi Taijun's heart is not in a good mood. When he is old and old, seeing the scene of family ruin and death, no one feels good, but she can't fall down now. Now that she has fallen down, what can she do with her precious jade? Shi Taijun turned his head and looked at Jia Baoyu, who was still a bit ignorant, sighed deeply, the second child and the family of the second child were all taken away, and Miss Feng was also taken away, and the rest of the people seemed to be the master, But none of them worked.

Shi Taijun looked around at the people in the room, fixed his gaze on Jia Lian's hand standing in a corner, and sighed: "Lian'er, you are the only man in the family now, what do you think about it?"

What to do, Jia Lian sneered in his heart, took a step forward and respectfully said: "Old Ancestor, the mansion cannot be lived in now, and the money is gone, the grandson is watching, should we find a place to settle everyone down first?" Say it again."

Shi Taijun nodded: "Alright, then you can handle this matter."

Jia Lian snorted coldly in his heart, and his face remained unchanged: "Old ancestor, grandson has no money, look..."

The meaning is obvious, I can do things, but the money, you see if you pay.

Before Jia Lian finished speaking, everyone looked at Shi Taijun. Li Wan pulled Jia Lan back quietly without changing his face, but Shi Taijun's face froze.

My money, my money is to be left to our Baoyu, how can it be given to Lian'er, if I leave the money to Lian'er, what will happen to my Baoyu.

Shi Taijun's eyes darkened, and he ordered: "Come on, pack up your things, let's go find the boss."

Mrs. Xing was sitting in the room, listening to the housekeeper Wang Shanbao's family gossip about the latest gossip in Beijing, when she heard someone from below report that Shi Taijun had brought the old and the young from the Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Xing sneered, and said to Wang Shanbao's family: "Look, the master is right, this is just here." She stood up, straightened her embroidered skirt, and said with a smile: "Please invite someone Come in, and let us give you a good welcome."

Shi Taijun took Jia Baoyu's hand and walked in, and saw that Mrs. Xing was already waiting at the entrance of the front hall with a kind of maid.

Shi Taijun raised his head slightly: "Go in."

Mrs. Xing nodded in response: "Please, old lady." She also respectfully let Shi Taijun take the upper seat.

Sitting at the top, Shi Taijun was very satisfied with Mrs. Xing's submissive attitude, so he asked, "Where's the boss?"

"Old lady, my grandfather is quite busy, and he is usually not in the mansion at this time."

Shi Taijun said impatiently: "Busy, what can he be busy with, he can't mess with his unprofitable library, why don't you hurry up and send someone to call me back."

"Old lady, where is my grandfather in the county palace now?"

Shi Taijun pursed his lips and stopped talking, and the room became quiet all of a sudden.

Mrs. Xing looked at Shi Taijun with a smile all the time, and she didn't speak.

This time, the scene was awkward.

As a last resort, Shi Taijun had to cough twice, and said: "You also know that there is an accident in Rongguo Mansion. When the boss comes back, ask him to run around and see if he can get the second child out."

Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "Didn't the old lady just say that? Our father is not capable now, and this kind of thing can't be done. Besides, the old lady also knows that my father has offended a lot of people because of the previous household affairs. .”

Shi Taijun glared at Mrs. Xing: "Isn't it all the boss's own fault for offending people? Now, at this time, we can only use the money and let the boss get some money. Now people will look at the face of the money. , as long as the money is enough, they will not be afraid of not doing things."

Mrs. Xing nodded: "What the old lady said is true." After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hands and looked at Shi Taijun: "Old lady, then this money..."

"Bastard," Shi Taijun slapped the table and said angrily, "Zheng'er is She'er's younger brother. Does She'er still want money like Zheng'er?"

Mrs. Xing spread her hands: "I thought the old lady knew that the relationship between our master and the second master was not good, but this is not easy to handle. This kind of thing that has no money and offends others is something that no one would do," said Then, she turned aside the silent Jia Lian: "Doesn't the second master have a grown son? Why don't you let this son run away? Anyway, my father has no money and no connections, and he has a bad relationship with the second master." , this kind of thankless thing, it's better not to count my grandfather."

Shi Taijun's eyes widened in anger: "Boss still counts on me, you bastard."

"The old lady was joking, why would the master count this with you? You are the master's mother. Even if you treated the master badly and plotted against the master in the past, the master has no reason to plot against you, but what about the second master," Mrs. Xing said. Snorted coldly: "Master told me when he went out, the matter of the second master, the master doesn't care."

"Who does he care about?"

"Who cares whoever you love."

"You..." Shi Taijun was so angry that he trembled all over, and unconsciously tightened his hand holding Jia Baoyu, only pinching Jia Baoyu in pain, and burst into tears.

Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Baoyu as if she had just seen Jia Baoyu, and looked at Shi Taijun and Xiren who were coaxing Jia Baoyu, and sighed: "Baoyu, why is this child like this now? Where is the original cleverness? It seems that the brain is not working well."

"Shut up." Shi Taijun gave Mrs. Xing a hard look.

Mrs. Xing smiled, and didn't care about Shi Taijun's attitude at all: "But it doesn't matter. Anyway, I support my father. Didn't the second family sell Baoyu to Xue's family for 20 taels of silver? Baoyu can be considered to be found. Now, speaking of it, why didn't the Xue family see it?"

"Don't give me the white-eyed wolves of the Xue family." Speaking of Xue family Shi Taijun, he hated him. Unexpectedly, when the Xue family saw someone raiding the house, they packed up their things and left without even helping them, which is amazing.

Mrs. Xing raised her eyebrows, but she didn't say anything, but looked at the attackers around Jia Baoyu and sighed: "This is all a copy of the house, although it is said that this time the emperor just copied the property in the house because of the face of the Duke, but What is the old lady still doing with these maids, now that your life is difficult, it is a good time to sell these people."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Baoyu, who was still crying, took the lead to quit: "Who said to sell Xiren, Xiren can't be sold, not only Xiren can't be sold, Musk Moon can't be sold, Qingwen can't be sold either, And Bihen, Qixi..."

Mrs. Xing raised her eyebrows even higher when she heard this: "After a long time, none of the girls of the second master of Bao have been sold. This is not a copy of the house, is it just a move? Well, since it is a move, then Bao Where is Second Master planning to move to?"

Shi Taijun glared at Mrs. Xing, and said angrily: "What nonsense, why don't you hurry up and tidy up the yard and let us stay here."

Mrs. Xing was very happy when she heard it: "Don't worry, old lady, my grandfather has already cleaned up your yard. As for the others," Mrs. Xing glanced at Tanchun and the others, and said with a smile, "The second room is okay. The relationship with our big house is not good, when we were able to force our big house to let the nobles separate the family, our big house didn't mean to be hot-faced and cold-ass, for others, it's better to hire someone else."

"What do you mean?" Shi Taijun was really angry now. She originally talked to Xing so nicely because she asked Jia Amnesty this time, but Xing was shameless. , Dare to drive Baoyu and the others away: "If you dare to drive them away, then I will not stop."

"Since the old lady insists on living with the person in the second room, the daughter-in-law can only send the old lady off respectfully." Mrs. Xing stood up immediately, as if seeing off the guests.

Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Xing with a gloomy expression: "Mrs. Xing, I am my father's son."

"That's right, according to the genealogy, you are the second master's son," Mrs. Xing disapproved, she raised her head slightly, looked around at the people around her, and said with a sneer, "The old lady wants to live, we can't help it, after all, the master is you My son, no matter what you did before, the master can only bear with it, but the second room, although the second master is in prison, but this second room is supported by Lian'er, and our master is still raising the second room and a family reason."

"Then let Lian'er and the others go out, Baoyu wants to live with me anyway." Shi Taijun retreated and said the next best thing.Now that the Jia family has nothing, she naturally can't care about anything, but Baoyu has always been her baby bump, and Baoyu must not be allowed to suffer with them.

As soon as the words fell, the others looked at Shi Taijun in disbelief.

"Old ancestors." We are also your grandchildren, you can't ignore our life and death just for a precious jade.

At this moment, not only Jia Lian, but also Jia Huan, Jia Lan, Tanchun and Li Wan all looked at Jia Baoyu with unfriendly expressions.

But Jia Baoyu didn't notice it at all, and kept pulling Shi Taijun to act coquettishly: "Old ancestor, attacking people can't be sold, there are Qingwen, Sheyue..."

Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Baoyu who was still stupid and sneered: "That's the decision, the old lady can stay here, because you are still the wife of a super-first-rank Duke, so the servants you are used to can also stay until the verdict is complete." Let's talk about it after we come down, as for the others, they used to hold the second room's thighs, so don't let our first room wipe your butts now, and get out of here."

Jia Lian was furious: "I'm my father's own son, you can't treat me like this."

"It's not anymore," Madam Xing clapped her hands after she finished speaking, and immediately a large number of servants rushed in, all of them looked powerful, and they obviously had been preparing for a long time: "Come on, except for the old lady's people, everyone else Throw them all out for me."

This time, the room was completely in chaos.

Shi Taijun held Jia Baoyu in his arms and refused to let go: "No, you can't let Baoyu go, you can't let Baoyu go."

"If Baoyu doesn't leave, I want you to go, old lady. Don't tell me the old lady wants to live a life of sleeping on the street." Mrs. Xing stepped forward, holding Jia Baoyu's other arm, and said.

Shi Taijun was taken aback for a moment, and unconsciously relaxed a little bit.

Mrs. Xing immediately pulled Jia Baoyu over and threw it to the servants beside her: "Throw it out, this crying and shouting is really a headache."

Shi Taijun stared blankly at Jia Baoyu being carried out of the front hall, his body stiffened.

Mrs. Xing breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the finally quiet room, and said with a smile: "Send the old lady to the cleaned yard yet, wait for the master to come back, and then go to pay her respects."
