Through the Ring of Red Mansions

Yin Jiahuan told Baoyu, "Second elder brother first go back and tell the old lady and the master, so that they can rest assured, and see who will come to visit in the evening. I will go to the Master Xu's mansion again. Let's see if we can find out any news after the reinstatement."

Xue Biao couldn't help enviously saying, "Fortunately, it seems that your family is fine. The old man is getting old, and the Holy Majesty must be kind. Pity us here, and there is no one to rely on!"

Baoyu wanted to comfort him, so he said, "Looking at you now, I know how uncomfortable Aunt Xue is, but our family is like this, so we can't help you anyway, but Sister Bao's place is not good. Don't know what to say."

Xue Biao sighed, "What is the final verdict? It's just that I planted the fruit and ate it myself."

Now Jia Huan hated Xue Pan deeply, so naturally he didn't want to waste even a good word, so he just said to Baoyu, "Second brother, go home quickly, I will go too."

The three of them said goodbye for a while, Jia Huan first sent someone to the scholar's mansion to inquire, but said that Master Xu was still in the ministry and had not returned, so it was not easy to go again, so he waited in the Jinxiu Restaurant before returning to Rongfu .

In the evening, Baoyu and Jia Huan accompanied Jia Zheng to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to see Jia She, Jia Lian and Jia Zhen and others. How can it be human suffering!!"

Jia Zheng said with tears in his eyes, "Now I'm collecting money everywhere, but since our family built a garden, we haven't turned over the stalls. Now the entire East Mansion has been confiscated, and it goes without saying that the house has entered the government. Where are you?" Bing Lian'er's things have also been copied, and the eldest wife and Zhen's daughter-in-law are all in the old lady's place, even if they sell the village and land immediately, they won't be able to do so well."

Jia Zhen knew these words, so she cried, "Uncles don't know what's going on, but our mansion has already paid the rent of Mao's year in Yinnian, and all the things in the fields in Eastern Province have been used up." Besides, since this year's festival has not yet arrived, where can I get the money, but I still owe a lot to outsiders."

Jia Lian also said, "Second uncle has still handed it over to his nephew and daughter-in-law recently. Although there is no famine, there is not a penny left in the silver treasury of the West Mansion. The old lady said to save money a few years ago. Second uncle knows it. Where is the empress?" Since the salary was fined, a lot of money has been put into it. I guess it is like this now, not to mention that the family has nothing to spend, and the people below may not be able to support much."

Everyone was sad when they heard the words, but they felt a little remorse, but it was too late, and now they just secretly begged their ancestors to bless them to tide over the difficulties.

In a few days, Jia Zheng and Jia Huan were called to the inner court for interrogation. It was the two kings of Xining and Beijing and the lords of the Privy Council who were interrogating. Everyone knew that Jia Huan did not live in the Rong Mansion. Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty were separated from each other. He lives here, so it makes sense to say that he doesn't know about Jia's amnesty, so he asked a few words in general. Xining and Beijing heard that they played, and they sent out their orders in a short time.The king of Beijing said: "The lord is bullying the weak because of the censor's participation in Jia She's transportation and foreign officials. According to the censor, it is pointed out that Ping'an Prefecture communicates with each other, and Jia Amnesty takes up the lawsuits, which interferes with one party's governance. In the case of the fan, the original owner committed suicide due to madness and stupidity, and was finally forced to do so. Today, Jia amnesty is sent to Shaomaguan to serve as atonement. The Jia Zhen who participated in the gathering of people for lust, defiled the temple gate, and forced good people to become prostitutes. He is a hereditary official, ignorant of the law, corrupt in virtue, and Nian Yi is a descendant of a hero, and he has been dismissed from his post and sent to the sea to serve as atonement, and the rest who have no major relationship will be released." Jia Lian's family property was confiscated and returned.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was so grateful that he couldn't kowtow in time, so he kowtowed to the prince to plead guilty. The officials also said no." Jia Zheng took Jia Huan to thank him, and kowtowed to the prince to come out.Fearing that Jia Mu would be worried, she hurried back.

All the men and women in Jia's mansion are waiting in the mansion, and Yingchun's mother-in-law's Jin Xiangbo Han's mansion and historians also sent people to greet. When we came back, we were sad to see each other, and both Lao Fengjun and Grandma were physically damaged, so our wife asked me to come over and complain to Lao Fengjun, and when Grandma's pregnancy was conceived, we would send Grandpa to come back with Grandma to say hello. "

Jia's mother only said that she wanted to thank her, and when she saw Jia Zheng and Jia Huan coming back, she didn't care about the greetings, and hurriedly sent them out.Listening to Jia Zheng "telling in detail the matter of being forgiven by the Holy Grace. Although Jia's mother was relieved, it was just that the two generations were dismissed. Jia Amnesty went to the bitter and cold northern Xinjiang, and Jia Zhen went to the sea. She became sad. Mrs. Xing Youshi cried even more when she heard that." Only Sister Feng saw that Jia Lian had returned safely, and now she said that the property was confiscated and returned, not only felt at ease, but also secretly happy.

Jia Zheng said, "don't worry, old lady. Although elder brother is serving in northern Xinjiang, he is also serving the country. He should work tirelessly. As long as he does it properly, he can still beg for return. Zhen'er is young and should contribute. If not, Even my grandfather's Yu De can't be enjoyed for a long time." He comforted me again.

Only Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You suddenly lost their hearts and minds. One thought that Jia Lian would not be close to her, and even Sister Feng only took care of the old lady. Loving love is ultimately dependent on others.So wept bitterly.

Mother Jia couldn't bear it, so she asked Jia Zheng, "Your elder brother and Zhen'er have already settled the case, may they go home? Rong'er has nothing to do with him, so she should be released."

Jia Zheng said: "I have entrusted someone to have a personal affair, but at this juncture, no one dares to nod. I have ordered my head to buy luggage for them. I begged my daughters-in-law to send it back, and the yamen finally agreed. My brother has already sent someone to pick it up, and I will be able to return in a moment, so please rest assured, the old lady."

Jia's mother said again: "I haven't asked much about family affairs in recent years. Feng girl and Zhu'er daughter-in-law told me once, and it gradually became difficult. Now the Dongfu has even copied all the houses, and your elder brother's place is also gone. There is nothing left. We have no official position here, and we can’t afford to live in such a house. You first order someone to remove the plaque made by the imperial edict, and then calculate how much money is left in the family. When the two of them get up, they have to give it to them A few thousand silver would be fine."

Jia Zhengzheng was worried about this, so he replied, "I heard from Zhen'er that she only waits for renters from the Eastern Province to live every year, and now there is a famine outside the Ning Mansion, and our side is also Kuyin Void, I have thought about this for a long time. I just asked about it. Thousands of taels of silver were raised, but it will be difficult for the family to chew on in the next few months."

After hearing this, Baoyu said, "Second Mistress and I still have some here, and they don't usually cost much, just take them out and use them urgently."

Jia Huan quietly pulled the third wife from the side, and the third wife also said, "I also saved the money for the marriage envoy for Sangirl and Huan'er. Now that it's like this, it's natural to use it for urgent matters first."

Jia Lian also hurriedly said, "Since my nephew has returned the family property, I can also get some out of it."

Jiamu Laohuai said slightly, "Seeing you like this, I feel relieved. It's just that you still keep your money separately. It's too early for Baoyu to spend money. If you don't keep some, can you wait for your daughter-in-law to support you?" The money from the third wife can't be touched, and I said earlier that I would count it as mine, even the fourth girl's, and I will keep the money from Huan'er. It's just that Lian'er, Feng girl, you still have to support your wife And support sister Qiao and brother Wei, so I still don’t move you, but I can’t help you.” Jia Lian and Sister Feng were too busy to say goodbye.

At that moment, Mother Jia asked Yuanyang to open the box and take her body out, and called Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing, You Shi, etc. to her, and distributed them one by one, "The eldest lady takes 3000 taels, and the elder master takes 2000 taels. The other 1000 taels are kept for myself. Zhen’er’s daughter-in-law takes 3000 taels and gives Zhen’er 1000 taels, and the remaining 2000 taels are used by herself to bring Rong’er and his wife to live together.” Then he said to Jia Zheng, “You said you should pay for it outside. , I also take 3000 taels, and if it is not enough, come back and ask for it, and now these servants also distribute distributions, those who should be assigned, and those who should be rewarded. Although our house is not an official now, this garden But it can't support it anymore, and it's the concubine's luck, and she can't sell it, so it's better to hand it over. Lian'er should still take care of those fields, sell what should be sold, keep what should be kept, and definitely don't want it The stent is short. From now on, just treat us as ordinary people."

"Jia Zheng was not good at managing the family. Seeing his mother being so clear and clear, he knelt down and cried and said: "The old lady is so old, and the children and grandchildren are not filial. Accepting the grace of the ancestors makes the children and grandchildren even more ashamed!" "Let Jiamu persuade him a few words, and hurry down to deal with everything without mentioning it.

The first thing was that the Grand View Garden was not suitable for living anymore, so Tanchun and Xichun were moved out first, and together with Li Wan, they temporarily lived in Jiamu's courtyard. Now Daiyu lives in Yihong Courtyard, she is the princess. As for the identity, Jia Zheng expected to stay, so it was no problem, so he blocked the gates between the roads and completely merged into Jia's mansion, and let Youshi and the people from the East mansion live in the original Jia Amnesty's courtyard, Mrs. Xing and Jia Lianfeng's son Moved to the courtyard of the third wife, and the third wife moved to the main room that was vacant since Mrs. Wang left.The wall between the Grand View Garden and Jia's Mansion was pushed inward, and a wide street was built in the middle. Jia Huandai wrote a book and handed it over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It has nothing to do with Jia's Mansion since then.

The servants of the original Grand View Garden and the two prefectures went to seven or eight of them for a while, and invited Miaoyu and other nuns to worship in the Mantou nunnery.In Jia's mansion, there are only three or four rough servants left in each room. In Jia's mother's room, there are only mandarin ducks and two little maids. Two, one from Aunt Zhou, except for Ping'er You Erniang Qiutong from Sister Feng's, there are only four girls left, including Xiaohong. Two big girls and two little girls.

A few days later when Jia Amnesty and others were sent out of Beijing, Jia Zheng, Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lian took Mrs. Xing Youshi and others to see them off in a car. I cried again. "Jia She is old, but he can't let go. Only Jia Zhen and You Shi can't bear to be separated. Jia Lian and Jia Rong can only hold their father and cry. Although it is less than the army, it is also a matter of life and death. In this way, everyone has to harden their hearts and go over."
