The Jade of the Red Chamber

Lin Ruhai knelt on the ground, weeping all over the place. It is not a small crime to lose an imperial gift. Maybe the whole family will be folded in it.No one in the court dared to speak out, and other things were easy to talk about. The veterans of the familiar faction pleaded for mercy, but the loss of the imperial gift was to put it bluntly, contempt for the emperor's prestige, and the Holy Majesty hadn't spoken yet, how could he plead for mercy?It's just that the few people who gathered at Zhou's house to look at the calligraphy and painting that day must have thought of something, and their eyes were slightly strange.

This Lin Ruhai's popularity is considered very good, if someone else came, maybe the judge would come to impeach him if he said it.

Ye Qiong frowned: According to Lin Hai's prudence, no matter what, he would never make such a mistake.Looking carefully at Lin Ruhai's expression, he found that although this old slippery man was crying, he was kneeling steadily, his eyes were very calm, he couldn't help but secretly lowered his mouth, guessing the ins and outs of his heart like a mirror in a blink of an eye, and instantly Some pantothenic acid—that brat Zhenyu's wings are hardened, so he doesn't come to discuss such things with his husband!Thanks to him helping him to teach that Jia Baoyu a hard lesson a few days ago, that's heartless! ——He didn't believe that his good apprentice didn't participate in this matter.

Today I was silent for a while, because I asked: "Does Lin Qing have anything else to say?"

Ru Hai trembled, his originally elegant and handsome face looked as if he had aged a few years, gray, he knocked his head to the ground and trembled: I am guilty, I have nothing to say.

Jinshang was furious and scolded: Lin Qing is so courageous!Losing the imperial gift is equivalent to despising the emperor's prestige!

All the courtiers looked at Lin Ruhai kneeling on the ground, feeling a little pitiful in their hearts. The few ministers at Zhou Shilang's house moved their mouths yesterday, wanting to say a few words for Lin Ruhai, but they were afraid of making the emperor even more angry. Instead, it hurt him.

Just when the court was silent, Jingze Wang Shuiyang stood up and said: My younger brother also lost his identity jade pendant!

All the ministers were at a loss, what happened?One or two throw this terrible object!However, no one in the court knows that he loves this younger brother the most. Many ministers who have a good relationship with Lin Ruhai are secretly relieved. The law does not blame the public. The emperor is reluctant to punish King Jing. It is inevitable.

The identity jade pendant is not a joke. The direct descendants of the royal family will get one piece of jade pendant when they are born. The details of the patterns on it are different. If the owner dies, the jade pendant will be taken back and enshrined in the East Side Hall of the Taimiao!

If it is the jade pendant of the emperor or prince, it can even be used as a military talisman!Although King Jing's jade pendant can't be compared with the emperor's crown prince, he can enter any corner of the palace with his jade pendant!If it is taken by someone with a heart, the consequences will be disastrous.This is still light, if the ministers know that this jade pendant can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the three major camps around the capital, I am afraid that there will be an admonishment immediately and the officials will touch the pole and order Imamami to take back the jade pendant or confiscate the jade pendant.

As expected, Imakami frowned, his voice softened, and he asked: What's going on here?

As soon as many ministers wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, they were so frightened by King Jing's next sentence that they couldn't swallow it and dared not cough it out.King Jing said: "My younger brother's jade pendant was lost at Mr. Lin's house."

The eyes of the few ministers who had made good friends with Ruhai turned dark, and they thought it was over, it was over!Lin Ruhai, what are you going to do!Why did Prince Jing's jade pendant go to your house and throw it away!Even the gods can't save you now.

Zhou Bing saw the development of the situation with his own eyes, and he still had time to watch it, and he was sure that Lin Hai was acting, and he knew what happened at his house yesterday when he thought about it!He was still thinking about when to add two fires so that the Jia family could not eat and walk around, otherwise he would have to avenge his sister's suffering sooner or later!In the end, it seemed that Prince Jing stood up again, and Zhou Bing was also worried, and couldn't help but want to intercede with the Holy Majesty.

As if he knew what Zhou Bing was going to do, King Jing shot his eyes straight at him and blinked at him very quickly.

Zhou Bing was stunned, feeling confused, so he had to hold back and wait for the development of the matter.

Sure enough, King Jing frowned slightly, and said slowly: My brother and Lin Zhenyu, the eldest son of the Lin family, have known each other since we were young, and now we occasionally gossip and travel together, and yesterday we came back from enjoying the autumn with him to rest in the Lin Mansion, so we happened to meet his relatives door to door.The younger brother's clothes were not quite soaked in the tea, so he pointed to a young servant to take him to the inner room to change.After he came out, he didn't see anyone from the Lin family and his relatives. The younger brother felt that it was boring, so he went back to the mansion.Now in Beijing, this is an argument discussed with Zhenyu, and the two of them are so aggrieved that they have to be sneaky, so they simply take advantage of Qiao Zong'er who broke up Jia's family to reveal the things they have known since childhood. Of course, there are so many selfish motives here to discuss this, but I don't remember it here.

The courtiers were all surprised at this moment, they all understood after hearing King Jing say that the jade pendant was thrown in the Lin family just now: I don’t want the Lin family to still have friendship with King Jing? !This Prince Jing is notoriously indifferent, he doesn't bother to care about soft and hard things, he has a high status, and I have never heard of anyone making friends with him, this Lin family boy actually knew him when he was young?

Regardless of the slightly heavier breathing of the ministers, Shui Yang continued: "The minister found that the jade pendant was gone on the way, so he asked the guards to look for it. The guards searched all the way to Mr. Lin's mansion, and they heard the noise of people inside. The guards He didn't dare to make an excuse to make an excuse that his younger brother lost a small object and went to the outer courtyard to search for it, but he couldn't find it.

He paused for a while when he said this, and continued: The guards and attendants of the younger brother went back to the younger brother in detail. After the younger brother was wet, he took off the jade pendant and put it on the stone table in the courtyard. waiting.Then suddenly the inner courtyard came to report that Miss Lin had fainted, Lin Zhenyu hurried to visit his sister, the butler and others went to ask for medical research and medicine, only the relatives of Mrs. Lin and him were left in the courtyard. According to the attendants, they saw The jade pendant is still there... The younger brother originally intended to ask Mr. Lin about something today, but he didn't want Mr. Lin's family to lose the imperial gift.

The Holy Majesty heard this, but he was not in a hurry, he frowned and said: "What's the matter with your two attendants?"I don't even know about my master's stuff, so I'll take a good look at it!Everyone's heart was clear, the emperor really didn't want to blame King Jing, no, it was all blamed on the guards and servants.

Now, looking at Lin Ruhai's eyes became a bit complicated. No one is stupid. This time, Prince Jing's words clearly did not doubt the Lin family, and they were all pointing at that relative. The ministers of the Zhou Mansion seemed to understand what happened yesterday. It's over.

King Jing replied respectfully: "The younger brother has already sent two people back."He Er and Qin Shulai in Prince Jing's Mansion were detained in the small courtyard at the back, gnawing goose palms while drinking, He Er muttered: It would be great if there were a few more brothers to have fun together!Qin Shu came to give him a blank look: After all, the Lord let us relax for two days, so you should just calm down!Goose palms can't stop your mouth!

Imamami nodded in satisfaction, turned to Lin Ruhai, his voice softened: Lin Qing, what's going on with this -relative?What does your girl's fainting have to do with the loss of the imperial gift?

After listening to King Jing's speech, Lin Ruhai raised his head in shock, his face turned pale, and then he fell heavily on the ground, trembling slightly.Hearing Jinshang's question, the old man burst into tears but his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

Knowing that the inside information is not worth it for him, to have such a hurtful relative who stabbed a knife, really...!

Seeing that Lin Hai choked up several times, an old official couldn't see it, because he replied, "The old official knows a thing or two about the reason for this."At this time, I helped the Lin family, but I didn't pay any compensation!

Slightly frowned, the emperor was a little interested: Oh?

The old minister said that Zhou Shilang of the household department invited several colleagues and friends to enjoy a newly acquired calligraphy and painting from the previous dynasty, and Lin Ruhai was also among them, and then explained the reason why the young servant of the Lin family was in a hurry to invite Lin Hai back to the mansion, and all the young servant's words out.

Zhou Shilang also said: "Yesterday, after Mr. Lin returned to the mansion, I was a little worried, so I sent my family members to greet me. When the family members came back, they only said that the Lin mansion was very busy. He only saw the housekeeper of the Lin mansion, and the master of the Lin family was busy."Only now did I realize that it turned out that the imperial gift was lost.

Now all the lost items are directed to the Lin family's in-laws, the Rongguo Mansion.Everyone felt sorry for each other, this Rongguo Mansion is also overbearing, borrowing things is like robbing, and even taking away the sacred objects enshrined in the family's house after borrowing, isn't this forcing my uncle and the whole family to die? ?I have seen unreliable ones, but I have never seen such cruel and heartless ones!

I didn't expect this result today, but now I feel a little pitiful for Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai seemed to be disheartened, lowered his head and said hoarsely: This...the minister also sent someone to ask after he found out yesterday, thinking...maybe...maybe it is possible that he took the wrong one...all the courtiers felt that Lin Hai It is true that Zhai has a benevolent heart, and even splitting up with the Rongguo Mansion in this situation, it is really benevolent to the Yue family!This kind of Yue family is unkind and vicious, but it cannot be tolerated!

Ruhai sighed, saying that Mrs. Wang was gone yesterday!If you lose something, find it yourself!Is it possible to suspect that the man in the Duke's mansion is a thief?Retell the original story.With a sad expression, while all the officials were speechless, Shui Yang admired the play in his heart!I thought in my heart that I must show my sincerity to soften my father-in-law's family, otherwise I would use such an opera method to coax my daughter-in-law, maybe Zhenyu would kick him away immediately and go back and cry to my father to admit his mistake!Shui Yang felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

The Holy Majesty snorted coldly, and said angrily: What a duke's mansion!Good Mrs. Jia!Li ordered people to summon Jia Zheng from the Ministry of Industry to come to see him, and then ordered people to go to Rongguo Mansion to look for him. Fortunately, no charges were established, otherwise what was waiting for Rongguo Mansion would be a whole team of soldiers who ransacked the house instead of ordering Jia Mu and Jia Wang's family. Hand over things.

Even so, Mother Jia was frightened to death. Jia Wang was stunned, but the jade pendant was in Jia Baoyu's hands. Obviously, Mrs. Wang didn't pay attention to Lin Zhenyu's friend that Lai Nanny said. In Yuanchun, when he saw that the jade pendant was very good, he rewarded Baoyu.He Yi watched in the dark as the master's identity jade pendant was handed over to the commander of the guards, and then he ran away quietly, his eyes were cold and stern: This Jia Baoyu actually wants to use the master's jade pendant to please women, so he has to give some troubles to take care of him Parents teach me a lesson!

The person here is Shang Shui Zhan's confidant, knowing that now is not the time to completely take down the Rongguo Mansion, so he didn't feel embarrassed, and appointed someone to detain Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in a courtyard of Rongguo Mansion. inside.The treatment of Lai Da and other men is not so kind, and they will be sent to prison immediately. In order to save her son, Lai Momo hastily told the story of stealing Yu Ruyi. There is only one meaning behind the words-they These servants and maidservants did what their master told them to do!

While waiting for the commander of the guards to reply in the court hall, the emperor said to Lin Ruhai with a pleasant face: Lin Qing, get up, this is really difficult for you.

After Lin Ruhai thanked her, she was helped up by the colleagues beside her. Although her body was hunched over, she looked very different in the eyes of everyone, and she was more worthy of friendship than before.The officials who secretly belonged to King Zhongshun's faction had complicated eyes, but because King Zhongshun had long since stopped going to court and had no backbone, they could only watch the situation develop in vain.

The atmosphere eased, and the ministers also whispered a few words leisurely. I don't know who brought it up, and all the adults seemed to remember that Rongguo Mansion made a big scandal a few days ago!Many ministers looked at Ye Qiong, Ye Qiong let everyone's eyes pass by, and said to the colleagues next to him: "An embroidered pillow, it is said that being an official is-Lu Xie-, the most despised economic career. ...

The wall collapsed and everyone pushed, and within a moment, someone remembered the rumors in the capital that their aunt and aunt treated the children of the aunt's family harshly. Isn't it this Rongguo Mansion!That aunt must be the Lin family, and some ministers shook their heads. The son-in-law was impeccable in Lin Hai's filial piety, but the Rong family was not kind.I also thought of the fact that Mrs. Jia of the Rong Mansion drove the second son to live in a side courtyard because of partiality. Many people looked down on this family from the bottom of their hearts. The old lady's reputation for being unkind has been settled!

Jia Zheng came to the court tremblingly, and now he snorted coldly, and ignored him impatiently.

The commander of the guards was very fast, and he returned the jade pendant to King Jing without waiting for a long time, but the Yu Ruyi, which was bestowed by the emperor, was not found, but the servants of the Jia family have already admitted that they took the gift from the emperor, It's just that the second wife of Jia's family was dumbfounded and speechless, and she didn't order a copy and search today, so she didn't find Yu Ruyi.

At this time, a young eunuch suddenly came out from the back of the palace and said something to the father-in-law who was standing beside him. The father-in-law's face changed, and he hurriedly whispered something in Jinshang's ear, and Jinshang's face suddenly became gloomy. He gave Jia Zheng a sharp look, and ordered to retreat.Many courtiers saw this glance.

Jia Zheng was so frightened that he trembled, the emperor got up and left, but he knelt on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.The courtiers filed out in twos and threes as if there was no such person, and even the four kings and eight princes who had made good friends with the Rongguo Mansion hurried away.

Shui Yang didn't go out of the palace, turned around and went to Yi'an Hall, his brother's bedroom. Seeing Shui Yang coming in, Shui Zhan gave his younger brother a white look, and said with a half-smile: "Where is Xiao Jiu'er singing today?"My brother didn't know that Xiao Jiu'er could sing?

Shui Yang said helplessly: Didn't Master Lin tell you everything beforehand?Jia Yuanchun, who didn't have to worry about this matter, used the cover in his belly to add to the trouble.

Shui Zhan patted his younger brother on the shoulder vigorously, he was suffering from pantothenic acid, and now his younger brother didn't tell him first, he would be around that Lin family boy all day long!After patting twice to vent his anger, he laughed: This Jia Wang family really doesn't know whether it is audacity or lack of brains, and he happily sent the root of the trouble to his daughter!This Jia Yuanchun originally wanted to please the Emperor, so he placed Yu Ruyi in a prominent position, and invited the Emperor to visit her.But I don't know that this pair of jade ruyis was given to the Lin family by the Supreme Emperor because of you living in the Lin family for several years!Such Yu Ruyi is the only pair in the world, how could the emperor not recognize it?Now Jia Tai Zhaoyi is still kneeling!

Shui Zhan waved his hands and said, "Now the excuse card for her and the Jia family in my stomach is still weak, if I try to plot other things, I will be courting death!"snort!The Jia family is just an introduction, if they had to be used to bring out Zhongshun's more and more crimes, this time it would be an eyesore!Fu sneered again: It's not bad to slowly struggle to the death, but now this Jia Yuanchun is a thorn in the heart of Concubine Wan, let's just see, it's not just fueling the flames, the enmity will be settled sooner or later!

Shui Yang also nodded with a cold face, these people always have to pay the price for what they have done!

Squeezing his younger brother's clean, clean cheeks, Shui Zhan felt a little helpless: The Lin family has completely broken up with the Jia family this time. I don't know why this Lin family boy caught your eyes like this? !She cares more than her older brother, really...!

Jia Yuanchun knelt on the ground and shivered, not knowing why the emperor, who was still smiling just a moment ago, suddenly lost his temper.

The emperor looked at Jia Yuanchun angrily, and said coldly: "Are you still not guilty?" !

Jia Yuanchun plucked up his courage, forced a smile and said: The concubine really doesn't know, this...

snort!You don't even admit what's in front of you? !The emperor angrily pointed at the pair of Yu Ruyi who were placed in the middle, and shouted angrily!

Jia Yuanchun's heart skipped a beat, what about Yu Ruyi?All kinds of thoughts raced through his mind, no matter how thoughtful Jia Tai Zhaoyi was, he would never have imagined that this was an imperial gift from his mother from someone else's house!

Soon, a little eunuch hurried over and whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor laughed back angrily, hiccupping and hiccupping in his throat, and it took him a while to get over it, and he didn't want to say anything more to Jia Yuanchun.He has always defended these veterans' families fiercely, but what are they doing?They are all slapping him in the face!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Jia Yuanchun hurriedly pinched herself hard, her face flushed from holding her breath, and sweat broke out on her head. She supported her stomach with one hand, lay down on the ground, and cried softly: Your Majesty! ...

The Supreme Emperor didn't want to control her at first, but Jia Yuanchun held on tightly to the hem of the Emperor's clothes with one hand, she must not let the Emperor go at this time, she had to let the imperial physician announce that she was pregnant in front of the Emperor!

He came up holding the piano and fell on the ground crying desperately.

On the one hand, the emperor was old and couldn't get rid of Jia Yuanchun, and on the other hand, he couldn't bear to see Jia Yuanchun writhing in pain, so he said coldly: "Go and announce the imperial physician, I want to see what's going on!"

Half an hour later, the harem was talking about Jia Tai Zhaoyi's pregnancy, but the Supreme Emperor's expression was indifferent, and he only asked her to take good care of her, and didn't say a word about the promotion and reward.

In the congratulations of the imperial physician, the pair of Yu Ruyi, the Supreme Emperor, lightly ordered the eunuchs around him to pretend to be up, and sent them back to Lin's residence with other rewards.Jia Yuanchun's face was pale, and there was a word "Hui", where is the meaning unclear?

The development of the matter was unexpected, because of Jiatai Zhaoyi's pregnancy, the Jia family members were not punished today, but Jia Zheng's official position was cut to the end, and Jia Zheng was only allowed to concentrate on running the family.

It was a great joy for the emperor to come to have children, but it seemed that nothing happened in the inner palace. It was quiet and there was no joy at all. Jia Yuanchun's Wangchun Palace was even more neglected. People are all jealous and ridiculed.

Jia Yuanchun gritted his teeth, and gave Baoqin, who was regarded as a sister, to the Supreme Emperor first, and asked her to sleep with her.Although the emperor has suffered, it is hoped that the spring hall will never return to its former glory.How could Jia Yuanchun not hate his mother for being stupid, and hate that her natal family made such a big mess for her!It's just that the emperor is not in his mind now, and she still has to rely on her natal family to restrain herself, wishing to give birth to a dragon son immediately to regain the favor.

Rongguo Mansion is now like the source of the plague, except for those who have other ideas, all the people in the capital avoid it.The atmosphere in the Rong Mansion was gloomy, the old lady and the second wife blamed all the servants who went to borrow money and put things on that day, and the act of pushing them to take the blame chilled the hearts of all the servants, they were all the old lady, The old man next to the wife is very decent on weekdays.

Although I didn't care about these servants and servants today, how could these people have any respect for their masters, and they didn't say anything, but they wanted to go up and tear two pieces of flesh.Although Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang wanted to send these people away, they were afraid that they would cause public anger at the moment, so they didn't dare to make a big move, so the two groups of people with their own ulterior motives made the atmosphere in Rongfu even more gloomy.

Since Jia Zheng became white, he smashed all the things in Mrs. Wang's room to pieces, and after beating Mrs. Wang's ears a few times, he took three of his housemates to drink in the outer study every day to soothe his sorrows, because he felt ashamed to see people even open the door. Not a single step.On that day, King Jing Yupei was taken back from Jia Baoyu's hands, and Jia Baoyu was locked up because of this. The guards of Prince Jing's mansion wanted to chop off his hand as a warning to others, although they gave Jia Tai Zhaoyi a lenient [-] Daban, that’s how it is. When Jia Baoyu was carried out from the small house where Rongguo Mansion shut him down, he also exhaled more air than inhaled, scaring Jia’s mother and Mrs. Wang out of their wits. After many days of raising her body, she recovered, but her expression was still dull. of.

The big house in the Rong Mansion has nothing to do with this matter, and it is a separate yard, so the big house is safe.Under the care of Sister Jialian and Feng, Aunt Zhao and Huan'er behaved quietly, and nothing happened.

Jia's mother originally wanted to restore the relationship between the Jia and Lin families, but the Lin family did not accept lost property, and sent the housekeeper's wife to the door several times to make amends with presents, but was rejected. Once the show comes, don't believe that Lin Ruhai won't teach them to go in!

But the Lin family father and son are not so easy to calculate. After Lin Ruhai was ill for a few days, he forced himself to go to the Ministry of Rites to make a statement. Today, he heard that he was deeply saddened by what happened to Dongliang, so he issued a word of mouth. This time, the loan from the Lin family was used as Jia Min's dowry, and the in-laws and relatives of Jia Lin's family recorded in the household department were cancelled. At this point, the Jia family was not included in the Lin family.

Lin Zhenyu heard that Jiamu planned to sneer, and accompanied by the head of the Ministry of Rites who was helped by her friend, she exchanged a box of heavy gifts for her mother's old golden hairpin to be enshrined in the Buddhist hall. Everyone pointed at Rongguo Mansion , Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang are even more despised by others, even the Ningguo Mansion stays in the mansion, and they don't come to the Rongguo Mansion for some days, and they slapped Jia's mansion again!
