Through the Ring of Red Mansions

It is said that the end of the year festival is approaching, so it is inappropriate to leave Jia Huan outside for too long, and because Yuan Chun sent someone to find Jia Huan, Shui Lang thought that the palace affairs still needed to be cleaned up, so he sent him out, and then went Yongchang Palace said to Xiao Linzi, "I see that you have lost your spirit recently, and you didn't even know that people went to Jia's house to rescue soldiers. If people in Jia's family heard anything about Huan'er, are you right?" Let me find another excuse to get rid of all the members of the Jia family, or let me point Jia Huan to a woman to calm the suspicion of those people?"

Xiao Linzi was taken aback for a moment before he realized what had happened.Kneeling down in panic and slamming his head, he said, "Damn it, slave! The slave is careless!! It's just that even if a mosquito flies out of the gutter in this palace, someone will watch it. I don't know who has such great ability. Kuang Jia The Empress and the previous capable maids and eunuchs have all been dealt with, so she can't find anyone, unless there are other secret helpers."

Shui Lang sneered and said, "You don't need to talk about it elsewhere. I know you want to talk about the queen, but she also smashed a piece of pastel under her hand. Didn't I let you go? I didn't do it clearly, so the queen didn't seriously understand what I meant."

Xiao Linzi could only kowtow again and again, how could he dare to answer a word.

Shui Lang thought about it again for a while, and then said, "You are the one who made you old in front of me. It's really the first time you do this, and this time it's fine. If there is another time, you can retire yourself."

Only then did Xiao Linzi heave a sigh of relief, he was busy thanking him, and then he listened to Shui Lang's order, "It is strictly forbidden for anyone to walk around in the palace. Don't hear the slightest wind, and you can't bring the slightest expression to him. This matter You just watch and do it." Xiao Linzi responded quickly, "Observe the order! Never dare to make the slightest mistake again."

Shui Lang nodded and ordered Xiao Linzi to get up.After tasting this year's new tea, I suddenly thought of it again and said, "Look what's new and interesting in the tributes sent this year. After finishing the few fur clothes, I wrapped them up and sent them to the old order." go."

Xiao Linzi boldly looked up and saw that Shui Lang's expression was a little slow, so he hurried up to make fun of him and said, "The envoys paying tribute from all over the place are almost here, and it's okay for the servant to look at other things. But The people who were sent to Tibet last time came back together, but unfortunately the living Buddha there didn't know what a rare treasure the parasitic grass was, so he specially presented a nine-eyed dzi to the master, saying that it has the effect of relieving disasters, protecting the body and nourishing the body. The world is also considered to be extremely precious and rare. I think the Holy Spirit is blessed by the heavens, and the blessings are profound, and there is no need for this bead. If it is given to Mr. Jia, it will appear to be a kindness from the Holy One."

Sure enough, Shui Lang smiled and said, "What nine-eyed dzi bead? Take it to me to see, I don't know if it works or not."

Xiao Linzi hurriedly ordered someone to fetch it, and then laughed and said, "It's uncivilized over there. I haven't heard of our Central Plains treasures. But it is said that the people there are very religious, and the dzi bead is also very spiritual. Or if you are so stingy and only got one, it can be seen that it is indeed rare."

Shui Lang also made some sense, and recalling the people sent out a few months ago, he asked, "Any news about the people who went to Wutai Mountain and Wudang Mountain?"

Xiao Linzi replied, "Not yet. Instead, they found a Master Hanjing in Putuo Mountain. They said that they were sisters and sisters with an aunt named Miaoyu in the Rongcui Temple in the Grand View Garden of Rongfu. Their master came to Beijing to look at the relics of Guanyin and the last inscriptions of the leaves. Their master was very good at performing congenital numbers, but he passed away in the winter of the first year of Jia Niangniang's prostration. Now I inquired about the master Han Jing who heard her master say that it is too late. Illusory Realm and other words, and that Miaoyu is also the number one character in it, and also followed their master to meet those two crazy monks and priests, saying that those two people specialize in visiting famous mountains and rivers, so they have sent more people outside I got a manpower, and went to search for places with good mountain views."

Shui Lang knew that the matter was urgent and could not be rushed, so he ordered to continue to intensify the investigation, and after looking at the Tibetan dzi, he ordered to send it to Jia Huan first without mentioning it.

On the next day, it was true that the harem issued an order to relegate Concubine Jia to the cold palace. This kind of thing has happened many times in the palace, and what's more, after the chaos between the two kings, everyone is walking on thin ice. How do you feel.But when the Ministry of Internal Affairs' decree spread to Jia's mansion, Jia Zheng and the others were so frightened that they could hardly stand still. Mrs. Wang immediately cried out that Yuanchun was coming, and she couldn't help but fainted. But she saw that her eyes were glazed and her expression was dazed. No one told her to speak, she only knew how to giggle.

Jia Huan was angry because of the emperor, and he didn't know how many people would shed blood. He also saw that Shui Lang's hair had fallen on many people. Human life under the feudal monarchy is not worth more than later generations. Besides, if you seriously pursue a few pieces of porcelain, After all, it was the little maids and eunuchs who were pulled out to top the tank.Pian Shuilang didn't let him take care of it, so Jia Huan simply let go, and didn't say anything about Yuan Chun when he went home.

Jia's house was in chaos, but they didn't know why Yuanchun angered Jinshang, and they didn't dare to let Jiamu hear the wind. Jia Zheng asked Daiyu Tanchun and Sister Feng to stay with Jiamu. Baoyu guarded Mrs. Wang, and at the same time asked Jia Huan to go to the House of Internal Affairs to inquire.It's just that there is no reason to inquire about the emperor's concubine falling out of favor. Zhou Zhi, the head of the House of Internal Affairs, really thought that Jia Huan didn't know the reason, and it was hard to say "Master Jia just ask the Holy One", so he had to search for two reasons. Then he said to Jia Huan, "the one who is imprisoned in Renjun Wang's mansion now, because his concubine Xue has some relatives with your family, used to give Jia Niangniang some things, although it's nothing, but How big of a taboo is this now? After being sued for a while, it will be difficult to see your empress again today."

Jia Huan told Jia Zheng about this, and Jia Zheng sighed, and said after a while, "I thought I was wrong, so I asked you to go for a trip. How can we let us know about the affairs of the palace so easily?" If it’s really because of Miss Xue’s friendship with your eldest sister, how can she kill the eunuch Xia in front of her? In addition, there are also Baoqin, chess players and servants next to your second and third sisters, There are also four girls around Ruhua who have been serving their sisters in our house since they were young, and then Baoqin followed your elder sister into the palace, and now they have ended up filling a well..."

The matter of Yuanchun was not easy to persuade, so Jia Huan had to take Jia Mu out to break it down and said, "Anyway, the old lady has to hide it, but every year she rewards silver and colorful satin from the palace, what will happen this year? If you can't see it, the old lady will definitely ask, and it's only a few days before Chinese New Year."

Jia Zheng also felt that he couldn't think about it. When he was in distress, he suddenly heard Lin Zhixiao's family saying back and forth, "The second wife is awake, and now she has recognized someone. If Second Master doesn't let go, Second Grandma Bao has no choice but to send us here."

Jia Zheng said angrily, "What happened to her!" And because Mrs. Wang colluded with the people in Yuanchun Palace to frame Jia Huan, Jia Huan is not allowed to accompany her now, but just passed by herself.Kuang Jiazheng had another thought in his mind. He felt that Yuan Chun might not know anything about Mrs. Wang's crimes, or Mrs. Wang's framed Jia Huan had Yuan Chun's acquiescence.

Since the empress was able to find out about Mrs. Wang that day, how could she miss Yuanchun? Even if there is no real evidence, just saying a few words in front of today is enough for the emperor to be suspicious.Jia Zheng couldn't help but think about it carefully, maybe it was from the time when Yuan Chun was fined that the Holy Grace gradually became different from before.

Although Jia Zheng thought of this, he would not say that Baoyu and Jia Huan knew about it, but he hated Mrs. Wang more and more in his heart, and felt that if Yuanchun didn't like Jia Huan, it was all because Mrs. Wang came to the palace to provoke him.So when I arrived in Yihong Courtyard, I didn't look at Mrs. Wang, who was crooked on the couch with disheveled hair, but said to Baoyu, "This place is so close to the old lady, and you often go there. If you miss it, you might as well vent the old lady's anger." It’s not a sin. Besides, your daughter-in-law’s body is weak. Now that the second wife is so sick, don’t let her get sick. Besides, the second wife always eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha’s name. You are so young. It’s not good to be with you. I ordered people to clean up a room in the ancestral hall and come out. First move the second wife there, and send two other women to accompany you. It’s only a wall away from here. If you want to go there It's cheap to see her."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help being stunned, she came back to her senses for a moment, and cried loudly, "You, a person who killed a thousand swords with no conscience, was seduced by a slave born in a family, and you threw away all the love between husband and wife in the past. You want to teach us to separate our flesh and blood!! Poor my Zhu Er has gone, and Yuan Chun was sent to that shady place by you, and the whole family followed her to enjoy the blessings, but now she is in trouble, and her life and death are all up to her, Bao Yu is so young , sooner or later, this family will not be controlled by that pair of slaves, and they are going to force us girls to death!!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly ordered his mother-in-law to come over and gag Mrs. Wang, and then sent someone to look in Jia's mother's room. Fortunately, Jia's mother was asleep and was not disturbed. Baoyu hurried up to persuade, Jia Zheng said angrily, " Are you deaf? If she wants to shout like that, the old lady won’t be able to hear you, if you make the old lady angry, it’s really because she has been doting on you all these years for nothing!”

Hearing this, Baoyu didn't dare to say anything else, and Daiyu couldn't stop her father-in-law's order, so she carried Mrs. Wang to a small room on the north side of Jia's ancestral hall overnight, and opened the door from the outside. After the lock was locked, the two women who watched the ancestral hall went to sleep by themselves. Poor Mrs. Wang yelled inside for a while, but was annoyed by the two women, "The ghost called your mother in the middle of the night?!" One said, "Let her tell you to go! From tomorrow onwards, she won't be given any food or water, and she will be honest after a day of starvation!" After all, Jia's house was separated by a courtyard, and no movement was heard here. .

Jia Zheng was afraid that Baoyu, who was instigated by Mrs. Wang again, would not get along with Jia Huan, so he didn't dare to let Baoyu see Mrs. Wang. The next day, he came to the ancestral hall to have a look. Xinyi ordered, "If Baoyu comes, you are not allowed to open it. Let me say that the second wife has a manic disorder and must rest in peace." The two drove away, and now seeing that Mrs. Wang was completely hopeless, she couldn't help but secretly feel complacent, and took pleasure in rectifying Mrs. Wang every day.
