Jia Cong, the concubine who crossed the Red Chamber

It is said that although Xichun is still young and ignores everything, she still has a certain status in the mansion.Jia Zhen took pity on this younger sister, who had no parents to take care of her since she was a child, and treated her with the utmost respect.It's not that Xichun is blind in Ningguo Mansion, but also has a few useful people at his beck and call.

On this day, Jia Zhen called the respectable masters of the clan to discuss the affairs of the West Mansion, Xichun knew about it.I just feel that it has nothing to do with me and I don't care.Only the two maids beside her, called Twelve and Xue'er, chattered all day long, trying to watch the excitement.

Xichun ignored them, and just said, "You guys want to be lazy and play tricks, and you can score occasions. I can't stop you, there is only one sentence. If you are discovered, you will be demoted, fined, or kicked out." Go out, don't come to me to beg for mercy, I don't care anymore."

After hearing this, the two of them were a little scared, but they also knew that Xichun was usually cold-hearted and not panicked.After all, they were still young and couldn't resist the excitement, so they went anyway.Xichun draws pictures in the house, burns incense, and lays out the case, fearing that she will become vulgar, so she doesn't ask anyone to wait on her.After a while, I saw two little girls rushing in in a panic.Dissatisfied: "I'm in a panic, what does it look like? I drew a good painting, but I was shocked by you."

Unexpectedly, Twelve and Xue'er looked terrified and said, "My dear girl, don't bother with the painting. The big thing is wrong. We were listening to the fun with a group of women outside the window just now, and we heard that the master was going to send the girl Give it to Xifu!"

When Xichun heard this, her eyes went dark for a while, leaning on the table, she forced herself to stand up, and shouted: "You can call this a tongue? Who gave you the courage to arrange this!"

12, the youngest, couldn't help being frightened, and cried: "Where did we arrange it? It's true, it's all about the girl's past."

Xichun asked sharply: "What's going on, tell me carefully, don't miss a word!"

Xue'er was still calm, swallowed, and said carefully: "Just as we got closer, we heard from the masters that the old lady in the West Mansion is the best at taking care of the girls. The eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl are all excellent. Oh, he also said that brother Cong in that mansion is the most elegant. He also said that if the master had a biological daughter, he would definitely give it to the old lady to raise him. The old lady over there said that since he has no daughter, the same goes for the younger sister. Yes. The hatchbacks had a discussion, and they said they were telling the girl to live in the West Mansion. We didn’t listen carefully to what they said after that, but we heard the old lady over there was very happy, saying that there was some happy event. We heard these I didn’t dare to stay any longer, and hurried back to report to the girl.”

After hearing this, Xichun burst into tears!The maids may not understand these words, but she knows it!For no reason, why should I go to the dirty place I sent?Why did the Rongguo Mansion have another happy event afterwards?Her brother and sister-in-law must have sold her!Call her a hostage, and reach some shameful deal with the second room over there!This is flesh and blood relatives, and they pushed themselves into the fire pit helplessly!

Thinking of this, Xichun couldn't even stand up, her body was swaying.Twelve quickly came over to help her sit down, and persuaded: "Miss, don't worry, after all, the master is your brother. Although he has done a few stupid things in the past, it is definitely not like this."

Xichun shook her head and smiled wryly, because Twelve still hadn't read the book, she always felt that this was not the case among relatives.But I don't know that there are not many treacherous heroes, heroes, even treacherous ministers and sycophants who trampled on their own families in history?Xichun felt sorry for herself for a while, gritted her teeth, and said: "Go and see, are the masters of the clan gone? If they go, come back to me."

The two nodded in agreement, and hurriedly slipped out to stare.

After a while, Xue'er came back by herself and said: "Girl, the guests have already left, and now only the master, wife and Brother Rong are left in the main hall."

Xichun sneered and said: "Let's go, I'm going to ask, he Jia Zhen asked who borrowed the courage to send me, a daughter from the Duke's mansion, to be raised by a sinner!"

Xue'er hurriedly helped Xichun to the main hall, but she saw a few of Jia Zhen's confidant servants guarding the door, and the doors and windows were closed tightly.Xichun guessed in his heart that he must be discussing some shady business, otherwise, who would talk with the doors and windows closed in the bright sky and broad daylight?Therefore, regardless of people's dissuasion, he insisted on rushing into the house.

When Jia Zhen heard this, she asked someone to let Xichun in.

Xichun rushed in and said: "But I don't know where I offended my brother, and he wants to send me to the West Mansion as a hostage! Who else in the capital doesn't know what the West Mansion is like? I am an innocent daughter's family, Why did you tell them to bring me!"

Jia Zhen didn't like what he said, and asked quickly: "Where did this word come from! The West Mansion is in a mess now, with no distinction between senior and junior, and no distinction between seniority and inferiority. The old lady was relegated by the emperor, and the second room only paid 10 yuan." Two fines, and the second wife has been imprisoned. How could I tell you to follow and bring a bad reputation! Where did you hear that bastard?"

Xichun sneered and said, "Are you still looking at me and hiding it from me? Who said that if you have a biological daughter, you will be sent there to be educated! He also said that if you don't have a daughter, the younger sister is the same, and there is a happy event in the West Mansion. Isn't this why you want to say that I have been sent as a hostage for the sake of wealth and glory!"

Jia Zhen said angrily: "Sister, pat your conscience and think about it, how I treat you on weekdays! Whoever says a few sour words, you will believe it! If I trade you for wealth and glory, then I, Jia Zhen, will be worthless." What's the matter! I used to treat you for nothing, but now I get these cold words like knives!"

Seeing this, Xichun calmed down a little, concentrated her attention, and said: "A lot of clan elders came to my house the other day, and the two servant girls next to me wanted to watch the fun, but when they came back, they only said that brother would send me to the West Mansion." After speaking, he said the words of the two maidservants in detail.While talking, he also realized himself, and quickly shouted: "Hurry up and ask someone to look for it, where did Twelve and Xue'er go! Hurry up and press them down!"

Twelve hadn't appeared since asking them to stare at the hall.As for Xueer, she came here with her just now, but there were many people in front of the door, and the two sides were arguing, but there was no sign of the hoof!

After a quarter of an hour, the old woman came back and said that the little girl Twelve slipped and fell into the pond, and she was already stiff when she was fished out.As for Xue'er, she took Xichun's sign and wanted to sneak out, but fortunately she found out early and didn't tell her to run away.

The next thing will be clear.

Although Xue'er is the son of Dongfu's family, she voted for Jia's mother long ago.With Xichun all these years, she often said harsh words about Jia Zhen and provoked the relationship between the siblings.What happened today was also instructed by Jia Mu.

Ordinary ladies in the boudoir, knowing that their brothers and sisters-in-law are going to send themselves out, will just resign themselves to their fate, sigh that they are unkind, and accept it like Yingchun in the original book.Jia's mother thought that Xichun was cold-tempered, so she wouldn't care about it, and she just asked the girls to exaggerate, which made her feel discouraged.If Xichun can be brought over to raise her in the end, then he can take the opportunity to tell her to break up with Dongfu, so that she won't be familiar with it in the future.Who would have thought that Jia Xichun had a strong personality!How dare you confront Jia Zhen face to face!

Seeing this, Xueer panicked, and when she went to stare at the lobby with Twelve and came back, she took advantage of her unpreparedness and stretched out her hand to press her into the pool, killing her to silence her.I originally planned to take advantage of the chaos and escape, but I didn't expect Jia Zhen and Xichun to find out so quickly, only one step away, the guard stopped her at the corner gate.

Jia Zhen stomped her feet angrily!The big maid next to my own sister turned out to be a nail sent by others!How did you manage this family!With a big wave of his hand, from now on, the housekeeper will be handed over to his daughter-in-law Qin.Order the housekeeper to assist Qin Shi to check all the servants carefully, and if they find out that they have ulterior motives, they will all be sold to the coal kiln!

Xichun sneered and said: "You just realized it now. You actually listened to outsiders and found such an ignorant housekeeper for yourself. What does it look like when you suddenly mobilize people to investigate? Why don't you come here bit by bit , this group of people has also stayed in the mansion for so many years, not bad for a few days."

Then he said: "Xue'er was called by my good sister-in-law to order me personally. She said she didn't know anything, and I'm afraid no one would believe it. If you want me to say, you don't have to be this bad guy and get mad. You don't have to tire yourself out. A reputation of being harsh. Just send Xueer's family, including the deeds of sale, to the old lady in Rongguo Mansion! I want to see what will happen to them following the good master over there!"

As soon as Jia Zhen heard this, it made sense, and after the two brothers and sisters spoke together, they worked together, and their relationship became better.

Here, Jia Zhen's confidant butler personally took Jia Zhen's post that symbolized the head of the clan, and led people to press down on Xue'er's family, blocking the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion.This was an era when the concept of clan was very strong. Although Jia Mu looked down on Jia Zhen, he sent the patriarch's official post. No matter how impatient Jia Mu was, she dared not refuse to accept it.He had to take Jia Zheng and others to welcome him out.

Mother Jia accepted the post, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what orders Brother Zhen has. You want to mobilize people like this, and you still have to trouble the housekeeper to come in person?"

The butler only said respectfully: "I dare not obey the order. Our master said that the slaves of this family have admired the old lady for a long time. The master is charitable, and it is impossible to fulfill it. He asked the younger one to send all the family's deeds of sale. Just be a filial old lady and a few useless servants. In addition, there are these two stacks of papers that are as tall as a person. They are all impeached by the imperial historians in the court. The master asked me to send them to you. If the old lady can't understand it, the second master has read the book, so he will be able to understand it."

The housekeeper waved his hand while talking, and the boys had already brought the booklets over and placed them on the ground.After the butler finished speaking, he cupped his hands and walked away.Leaving a lot of excerpts, and a family of slaves who betrayed the master and begged for mercy.It attracted passers-by to watch, pointing at the ashen-faced Jiamu and the others.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng hesitated and said, "Old lady, look at this..."

Mother Jia yelled: "Don't you understand? You go to Pingyao Street to invite your brother back! Brother Zhen is not even caring about face! If this matter does not subside, our family will not It’s necessary! Rongguo Mansion’s century-old reputation, in order to protect you, is now in my hands!” After speaking, regardless of Jia Zheng’s face, he shouted at Lai Da and the others, “Come on, bring me all the papers. Go in, I will rot in my stomach what happened today, and anyone who chews their tongues will be beaten to death!"
