The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

In the new year, the first thing the emperor did when he opened the imperial pen was to order Situ Yuan to take the lead in raiding the Zhen family, and arresting Zhen Yingjia in Beijing to await trial. When Concubine Zhen Shu first heard the bad news, it was a few days after the imperial decree was sent to Jinling She hurriedly came to the emperor to intercede, but she knelt in front of the imperial study for a whole day, but the emperor refused to even see her, and the eldest prince Situ Qi was also blocked from the palace gate and was not allowed to enter the palace. Seeing the audience, Situ Qi could only go back to the prince's mansion in dismay, and found his staff to discuss the countermeasures.

Situ Yuan's search was also very fast. It can be said that as soon as the imperial decree arrived in Jinling, he immediately attacked the Zhen family. Zhen Yingjia didn't even have a chance to react, and only had time to send some gold and silver. All the servants of the Zhen family were They were directly sold to various places. Except for a few important people in positions of power, all the men and women of the Zhen family became ordinary people, and the legendary Zhen Baoyu who looked the same as Jia Baoyu has now become an inconspicuous person. Little people.

Just a few days before Situ Yuan, Jia She and his party were going to return to the capital, a few hurried looking women in messy clothes knocked on the back door of Rongguo Mansion quietly. They carried a few boxes and slipped through the door. Knowing who they met and what they said in Rongguo Mansion after they entered that door, they only knew that they left in a hurry after staying for less than an hour.

In Jiamu's courtyard, Jiamu and Mrs. Wang sat there with dignified expressions. After a long time, Jiamu sneered and said: "The boss is really talented. The Zhen family has been with us for many years, and he is so silent. Going to steal someone else's lair in a loud voice? Isn't this clearly against me? In the end, he still has a grudge against my old lady because of the matter of giving up the title. "

"Isn't it? I just heard what a few of them said, and I felt panicked on my face. How could the elder do this? Now that the Zhen family is gone, the concubine Shu and the eldest prince in the palace still have a good life Do you?" Mrs. Wang seemed to have a look of regret, but she didn't know how sincere she was.

"Forget it, it looks like... the eldest prince is very supportive. In two days, you will pass the sign and enter the palace to see the empress. Give her the body-replenishing prescription that you asked someone to find last time, and let her try her best to conceive as soon as possible. If you can give birth A prince, our family is not far from turning over." Mother Jia frowned, sighed heavily, and then instructed Mrs. Wang.

"Hey! Alright, I will hand over the sign tomorrow to ask to see the empress. In fact, when I entered the palace two times ago, the empress was still concerned about this matter. Let me tell you! Of course, the best child is to be born at home, and I always want to rely on others It's not a solution, the old lady said, is it?" Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

"I have my own plans for this matter. If you shouldn't talk too much, just say a few words. The fact that the Xue family has come to our house cannot be spread. The Xue family has been confiscated. The chances of getting those things back are not great... But We can't just do whatever they want us to help with. After all, the emperor has not yet planned to establish a prince. What if the eldest prince suddenly turns around? There is no child in the middle palace, and the chances of several princes are actually the same. Even if the empress has a prince in the future, so what Can our family be the backing of the empress?" Jia Mu probably saw that Jia Lian, Lin Heng and others had already gained a foothold in the imperial court, but Jia Baoyu, whom she wanted to cultivate with all her heart, did not know where the future lay. .

"Why not? After two years, when Baoyu is older, we can ask the empress to marry us, like Lin Heng, marry a princess of the royal family or... hey! I heard that the little princess of Prince Zhongyi's mansion is only as good as our Baoyu." One year younger, wouldn't it be great if we could get married with them?" Mrs. Wang said on a whim.

"Hmph?! Marry the princess? Do you think the princess is so easy to marry? Not everyone can be as lucky as Lin Heng, and besides, why don't people see the Lin family behind him? It's been a few days since Mrs. Lin returned to Beijing. In [-], seeing that the seat is becoming more and more secure, I think it is most beneficial for Baoyu and Yuer to get married. Girl Baoyu is about to get married, so you don’t have to think about the little calculations in your heart. Now only Yuer It is the most suitable for Baoyu, you can think about it yourself, don't say I am forcing you." Jia Mu gave Mrs. Wang a cold look, and said in a strong and disdainful tone.

"The old lady said Yu girl? This..." Even if Mrs. Wang couldn't find a suitable candidate for a daughter-in-law, she still wouldn't consider Lin Daiyu.

"Baoyu was still asking last night why Yu'er hasn't come over these days. I want to ask someone to pick up Yu'er to come and play for two days tomorrow. It’s still up to you.” Jia’s mother had completely forgotten how Lin Ruhai walked away from her the year before, and she was still thinking in a daze that she was Lin Daiyu’s grandmother, and Lin Daiyu’s marriage should be decided by her. right.

It's a pity that Mother Jia's plan failed again, and she sent her mother-in-law back to the Lin Mansion to report that Lin Daiyu and Princess Fengyang went with Princess Chengshun to a hot spring village in the suburbs of Beijing for vacation... As for the return date?Undecided! !

"How could it be such a coincidence?! I just wanted to say that I was going to pick her up, and she went out with the princess?" Mother Jia said to the mandarin duck beside her with some conspiracy theories.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. How could Ms. Lin know that the old lady was going to pick her up to play? Besides, it's the end of the first lunar month, and all the relatives who should walk between households have almost left. Mrs. Lin is here There are only relatives like us in the capital. They may feel that since they visited at the beginning of the month, they can go out for a walk at this moment. It may also be that the princess asked them to go. Didn’t you hear from the woman just now that they went to Zhuangzi under the name of the palace? So the old lady doesn’t need to think too much, after Miss Lin comes home, we can also invite her to come and play for a few days, the days will be very long in the future, can’t it be a few days away?” Yuanyang smiled slightly , softly persuaded.

"What you said is quite reasonable. Girl Yu has never been estranged from me because of unnecessary trifles. It can be seen that I am thinking too much." Mother Jia nodded without thinking too much.

Mother Jia didn't think of going anywhere else, because since Lin Daiyu came to Rongguo Mansion that year, she and Mother Jia have always maintained a respectful way of getting along with each other, but it doesn't mean that she still has any admiration for Mother Jia. After she knew that Jia's mother was only interested in her, there was nothing left. If there were too many factors to consider, she was really reluctant to come to Rongguo Mansion as a guest, especially since she was 13 years old and just wanted to discuss marriage. Regardless of Lin Ruhai's age, no matter whether Lin Ruhai agrees with her marriage with Jia Baoyu, she shouldn't have no taboo with Jia Baoyu, but every time she comes, Jia Baoyu will be there without saying a word, and from time to time he wants to talk to her, Lin Daiyu expressed in her heart that she hated Jia Mu's behavior, but she was unwilling to expose it as a junior.

When Jia's mother was the head of the Rongguo Mansion, it was in the prosperous period of the Rongguo Mansion. Who wouldn't praise her highly?A person who is used to being flattered by the underworld has long been unable to see what is sincerity, what is falsehood, and what is right and wrong. In her heart, only things that are good for her are right, and everything else is wrong. The saddest thing is She dotes on Jia Baoyu, but she can't see that Jia Baoyu has no respect for her in his heart. Jia Baoyu's behavior in front of her is only because she is the only person in the Rongguo Mansion who can protect him, so he is willing to follow her. Jia Mu's heart, if Jia Mu also restrains Jia Baoyu like Jia Zheng, I am afraid that Jia Baoyu will retreat early, but who can be sure that every time Jia Baoyu scolds those women as old gods in front of Jia Mu? , Did you include Jia Mu in your heart?

At the beginning of February, Jia Amnesty came back. Just like when he left Beijing, he was very calm when he returned to Beijing. After returning to the emperor's palace with Situ Yuan, he hurried back to Jia's mansion to rest. Mrs. Xing just saw him When he entered the door, his face was full of surprise.

"Master... why did you come back all of a sudden? You didn't ask anyone to send a letter back first. Could it be... nothing happened, right?" Mrs. Xing said again and again in a burst of worry after being surprised.

"Hey! It's nothing, let's ask someone to prepare hot water for a bath first, that's right! I haven't eaten yet, so by the way I ask the kitchen to bring out a table of wine and food." Jia Amnesty looked desperately behind Mrs. Xing while talking.

No matter how dull Mrs. Xing was, she couldn't have noticed Jia She's strangeness. Following Jia She's gaze, she looked behind her for a few times before she couldn't help asking: "What is the master looking at? Behind me... what is there?" Is something wrong?"

"No, no, I was just looking at why you didn't bring Ke Geer here?" Jia She looked at the door anxiously again, knowing that he was out for so long, and it was rare for him to handle things so quickly, and it wasn't all for thinking Saw the youngest son earlier who hadn't been able to see his birth.

"So the master wants to see Brother Ke? Isn't that easy? After you take a shower and change your clothes, I'll ask the nanny to bring you over. The girl Ying said that children are prone to illness and are most afraid of encountering dirty things." , so usually I just let the nanny walk around the yard with him in his arms." Mrs. Xing smiled suddenly.

"Then you don't have to carry it here, tell them to put the food in your room, and I will use it later." Jia She said quickly after hearing this.

"Hey!" After Madam Xing finished speaking, she left the door, let Jia Amnesty take a bath and change clothes first, and went back to the house by herself, ordering Jia Ke's nanny to take care of the child.

Wang Xifeng heard that Jia She had already returned to the mansion, and before he could call someone to give instructions on those chores, he had already asked the kitchen to boil water and prepare meals. set up.

"Brother Lian hasn't come back yet. Girl Feng said that when Brother Lian comes back, they will come to greet you together. This is Brother Ke. You should take a look at him first." Mrs. Xing came forward to welcome Jia Amnesty Said.

"No hurry, no hurry, some things will be delivered from the side door later, you ask Lian's brother and daughter-in-law to find some reliable ones to help move it, and then ask someone to bring the girl back tomorrow... I heard that the brother-in-law has come to the capital? Why don't you let them come over too." Jia She replied calmly.

"Oh? What has to be delivered at this time?" Mrs. Xing looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, how would she know when the deliverer would arrive?And it sounds kind of mysterious.

"Don't ask too much, anyway, I have already passed the Ming Road in front of the emperor, but I don't want the people over there to know." Jia She said casually and perfunctorily.

Without Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing didn't ask any more questions, but she became more and more curious. She didn't know what important things her husband had done in Jinling this year, and it seemed that he had heard that the Zhen family in Jinling was raided by the emperor. I don't know if it has something to do with my husband?

If Mrs. Xing had Jia Ke to take care of, Wang Xifeng never bothered her with those messy things, so she naturally didn't know as much about the news outside the mansion as Mrs. Wang and the others.
