The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Among the grandsons of the Rong Mansion, although Jia's mother loves Baoyu the most, she treats Jia Lian kindly on a daily basis. When Sister Feng came to make trouble, she intended to favor Jia Lian, so she just asked someone to stop Sister Feng instead of calling Jia Lian, but Jia Lian ran into the door herself. , not only did not admit his fault, but just kept talking about divorcing his wife and so on, which made Jia's mother angry, and slapped the young couple: "Beast, you still have the face to blame her! You The good things you did outside caused a disturbance outside our mansion, and the censor was also alarmed, and now you are still talking to your father in the front hall, you still have the face to blame her!"

Jia Lian didn't know that the mansion already knew about Jing Zhaoyin's arrest. Hearing that the censor was alarmed, and Jia Amnesty was in the front hall again, he was so frightened that he didn't know: "The censor must be visiting my father when he comes to my house. or uncle's, what have I to do with it!"

She was so angry that Jia's mother stood up tremblingly, and shouted: "Kneel down!" Jia Lian knelt down involuntarily, and Jia's mother shook her hands and said angrily, "Don't you know what good things you did outside, you bastard?" What? Let me ask you, what is the identity of the person in the west wing of your courtyard? How did you bring her from Yangzhou to Zixu Hutong?"

Jia Lian was in a panic at this time, although he didn't know what was going on in the West Chamber, he just made a distinction first: "My grandson was really deceived! It's... It's Xue Pan! Xue Pan bought her back and said she was a good girl. Don't check, I think it's been a while since I got married, and I haven't had a son or a daughter, so it's better to take in a little star, it's for the sake of opening up branches and leaves."

When Jia Mu saw what he said, and saw what he said about her son, she looked at Sister Feng again. Sister Feng was furious and said, "Business has its own contract. Others don't understand. You are used to dealing with the affairs of the government. Don't you understand! I I don't believe that you are such a master, if you buy someone back, you still don't know whether she is good or cheap!" He cried again: "If you look for it in the mansion, or simply go outside to hire a decent aunt, will I still stop you? Didn’t Ping’er belong to your room? Didn’t I allow you to take her in? You went out to find someone for no reason, and kept her outside quietly. What kind of reputation do you think you are, and what kind of reputation am I? Thanks to me For you, I took her into the mansion with good intentions and raised her like a serious sister, but who would have thought that such a thing was brought back! When your lawsuit comes out, the servants come to ask for someone every day, and the father-in-law is anxious. I'm going to find my father and tell me to ask my brother. What can my brother do? It's just filled with money. Back and forth, my private house and my brother's money have already been filled in for five or six hundred. Shi still didn't let go, and he only wanted to come to talk to the master. How far do you think he is from the master? For your business, the master is watching tea and sitting with you. Even my father and brother are so busy, it is difficult It's a good thing you did!"

As soon as Jia Lian heard this, he knew that Sister Feng had already brought the person in. I am afraid that Laixing had already told her to subdue him. For a while, he deeply regretted that he should not have called Laixing to go to court to answer. It was like this again, so I had to change my tone, and said with a smile: "What did grandma say, the one in Zixu Hutong, I didn't want Brother Xue's kindness, so I brought her back, and I immediately told the mansion if I thought about it." , or deal with it casually, who knows that there are so many things that I can’t get away for a while! Grandma took her in, it was grandma’s virtue, I didn’t know, I blamed grandma, now I’m sorry for grandma, please Grandma is magnanimous, please forgive me! How much money grandma used, I will give you double, which is the share of the uncle, and I will not make him suffer. I beg grandma to see the love between husband and wife Come on, save me, great kindness, great virtue, I will never forget it in this life!"

Sister Feng sneered and said: "At this moment you remember that I am your wife! You were about to beat and kill just now, how could you not think of me when you were about to divorce your wife! This is still in front of the old lady, you are like this, if you No, I don’t know what you want to do to me!”

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "My good second grandma, I drank a few cups of yellow soup, so I acted like a hero after drinking! Who am I usually, grandma doesn't know?"

When Jia Mu saw that Sister Feng seemed to have a heart to turn around, she also saw the opportunity and said, "You must have the sincerity to make amends. How can people believe you are so empty-mouthed?"

Sister Feng said: "It's not bad if he doesn't ask for things from me! I still count on him! The old lady asked, the pair of red coral hairpins on the head in the west chamber, and the pair of gold hairpins weighing more than half a catty on the wrists." Where did the bracelets come from? Didn’t he pick them out of my hand and use them as favors for others!”

Jia Lian said with a smile: "What is she, what is she wearing, is it worthy of grandma's concern? Tomorrow I will call the boys, and make a good face for grandma. I will make a bracelet weighing one catty, with gems embedded-good grandma, You have already taken advantage of it, but please forgive me!"

After hearing this, Sister Feng snorted, slowly shed her tears, and did not speak.

Jia Mu hurriedly said: "Pity her for being such a domineering person. She is so bluffed that she can't stand up. You still only talk about yourself and don't know how to help her?"

Jia Lian heard a few steps forward, helped Sister Feng with a smile and said, "Grandma is working hard, come and lean on me."

Sister Feng made a gesture and pushed him, but Jia Lian would not let her push him away, and pulled her with a smile. Jia's mother said: "Okay, okay, husband and wife, harmony is the right way. Feng'er is really good these days." Tired, Lian'er will go out with her to have a rest."

Jia Lian took Sister Feng out and went into the house all the way.

Sister Feng asked him for money, and Jia Lian said, "Where can I get so much money at once? Take it easy, just think I borrowed it from you, can it work?"

Sister Feng sneered and said: "You went to Jiangnan on a business trip, and when you came back, you told me that you had no money. Who would believe it? If you don't take the money, it doesn't matter. I'll go back to my brother. Just go to court by yourself!"

Jia Lian had no choice but to say: "I went this time to raise money, and I didn't lose much. I can't get out five or six hundred and one for a while, so I will make up for two hundred at a later date, okay?"

Sister Feng turned her head and didn't speak.

Jia Lian said, "Four hundred, no more."

Sister Feng still didn't speak, and Ping'er persuaded: "It's all my family, why is the second master so ignorant? In order to build a garden, the family spent a lot of money, and the second master always made this big note." Money, it’s not worth hundreds of taels and you can’t get it out!”

Jia Lian said: "I can't blame your grandma for driving everyone else away, so you are the only one left. You and her are the only men in a pair of trousers, and I am an outsider!" He added: "You don't know what's inside, sir. To be respectable, the garden must be built so big, and the family has no money, all the fields in Jinling's Zhuangzi are sold out, and several family acquaintances have gone all over, and even borrowed a lot from Uncle Lin to scrape together such a place. It’s already good if I don’t put money in it, how can I get money!”

Sister Feng said: "You shouldn't tell me that. You should tell the master that the censor is still in front. You can ask the master whether you will lose six hundred silver in such a lawsuit."

Jia Lian said: "Five hundred... This is all my net worth, and I will give you a face. You can tell the master for me."

Sister Feng said: "The head and the bracelet are what you agreed to just now, you don't want to go back on it!"

Jia Lian said: "I said you don't want to be too strong. Now that you have your heart and face, so what if you let your man live?"

Sister Feng stopped talking, and now Jia Lian took 450 taels of silver bills from a sachet attached to the meat belt, and collected 50 taels of cash, and gave one share to Sister Feng, who asked Ping'er to keep it. Sent someone to the front to talk to Wang Ren's servant-it turned out that Sister Feng had calculated the date of Jia Lian's return and sent someone to deliver a letter to Wang Ren. With a wink, he exchanged glances with the censor again, and slowly changed his tone. Jia Amnesty was so grateful that he sealed 100 taels of silver to the censor, another [-] taels to Wang Ren, and another [-] taels of silver, and asked Wang Ren to manage the procuratorate, Jingzhao yamen, Wang Ren naturally shirked it, and it was over when Jia Amnesty sent him off with painstaking efforts.

As soon as Jia Amnesty went out, his face changed, and he shouted to bring Jia Lian. Since Jia Lian entrusted Sister Feng, Sister Feng sent someone to tell Jia Zhen and Wang Ren that when Jia Lian passed, Jia Zhen and Wang Ren He had already said countless good things in front of Jia She, but what Jia She was most annoyed was not that Jia Lian was flirting outside, but that he provoked the royal family. Not harsh, just scolded and sent out.

Sister Feng convinced Jia Lian, she was satisfied, she immediately asked someone to lock the west chamber, and sold Ma Yingniang as soon as the case at the other end was closed, but Jia Lian stayed with Lin Hai for a while, and learned a lot of official tricks , sent someone to inquire about the cause and effect of the case, hated it for a while, and secretly borrowed two hundred silver from a friend and gave it to Wang Ren. With such instructions, the procuratorate had already ordered Ma Yingniang according to Sister Feng's wishes. The family members made a false accusation, and later pursued the crime of forcing a good woman into prostitution. They were absolved twice.
