My Dad in the Red Chamber is still alive

Mother Jia was supported by mandarin ducks and amber, and sat on the padded chair. Then she glanced at the hill-like thing on the blanket in the middle of the yard, and felt annoyed.

Looking up at the Lai family's garden again, I feel even more uncomfortable.

I thought that in these years, several generations of the Lai family have served me loyally, even if I occasionally greedy for something, there is a limit.

Never thought that such a thing would be greedy!

It's just that the heartache is the heartache, and the anger is also angry, but what to do, Jia's mother is in a dilemma.

After all, this Lai's family is his companion, Lai Da is now the housekeeper of the house, and Lai everyone is his right-hand man.

Mother Jia didn't speak for a while.

Everyone saw that the old lady didn't speak, and Nanny Lai was crying at Jia Mu's feet, crying heartbroken. Those who didn't know thought she was dead.

Seeing so many of their own things appear in other people's warehouses, no one can be happy.What's more, now that the Jia family is short of money, the eyes are red.

Mrs. Xing has always loved money, seeing so many gold, silver and jewels all of a sudden, her heart is so sad that she is dying, and she is a dignified long-term wife, but there is no servant who is rich?

But Mrs. Xing looked at the old lady and didn't dare to speak.

Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back her anger. In fact, she was the most angry in her heart.I am the wife of a decent family manager, and they stole these things from me.

If the old lady's person steals it, it is equivalent to taking advantage of the old lady. If she doesn't say anything about herself, can she just let it go so gently?

Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Lai, you don't have to cry. If it wasn't because of the hardships in the mansion, you wouldn't have opened a warehouse. You wouldn't know that your Lai family is actually richer than the decent mansion! I think you should cry. It's us."

Sister Feng hurriedly answered: "It's thanks to the kindness of the old lady and the wife, otherwise I would have killed myself! You guys are really dark-hearted. Could it be that the old lady has treated your family badly all these years?"

Jia She said with a snort: "If you get all the stolen goods, what else can you say? Such slaves should be taken directly to the yamen, and then they will be tortured and waited on. Let's see how much money we don't know. .”

Mother Jia: "No..."

Jia She looked at Jia's mother in disbelief, and pointed at the shining pile of gold, silver, jewels and various utensils: "This belongs to our family? Could it be that Lai Da was born by my mother?"

Jia Mu slapped the armrest angrily: "You bastard!"

Jia Amnesty flicked his sleeves: "I don't know who is more of a jerk? Hmph!"

Seeing that the old lady was panting with anger, Yuanyang hurried forward to give her some relief.

Seeing everyone's unsightly expressions, Jia's mother knew that it was really unreasonable for her to protect the Lai family like this.

So he said in a slow voice: "They will be punished severely for doing such sneaky things. But, how can people like us report to the authorities so easily?

Locking them up is petty, won't our Rongguo Mansion make people laugh out loud? "

Jia Zheng: "According to mother's opinion, how should we deal with it?"

Mother Jia thought for a while, and said: "They are all old people in the mansion. Who has never made a mistake? In my opinion, since we have found all the things in our mansion, we will punish them for a year and a half. Monthly money, and a few boards on Lai Da, let him take the crime and make meritorious deeds."

Mrs. Wang: "The old lady is kind-hearted, but now we have found so many things, so what we can't see may be spent by them?

Just let it go like this, I'm afraid the other servants in the mansion will follow suit, then let's..."

Mrs. Wang half-spoken, and she didn't say anything later, and she didn't want to argue with the old lady.However, the whole family of the Lai family belonged to the old lady. With this family, my own people would never be able to surpass them.

This opportunity is rare, if the Lai family can't be brought down immediately, then Jia's mansion will always be dominated by the old lady from now on.

Mrs. Xing looked at the elder, and said quietly: "I won't say anything else, but I think the Lai family seems to have more money than us..."

The Elder Master Jia She immediately exploded when he heard it. He usually looks down on Mrs. Xing, but she is his wife after all. You said that you are rich without a slave. Isn't the Elder Shameless?

Jia Amnesty: "Lian'er, quickly call that Tan Heng, and quickly kidnap Lai Da."

Jia Lian: "Father, don't worry, we haven't found all the things in our house. There are also a lot of things in Zhou Rui's house over there, but there are still a few items on the account that have not been found."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her heart trembled, and nothing happened to Zhou Rui's family.That is his most useful confidant.

So he hurriedly asked: "Zhou Rui's family also found out that the imperial bestowal was not successful?"

Jia Lian: "That's not true. But there are many other things found in their house."

Mrs. Wang: "I have rewarded them a lot in these years. If they keep it for love, it will be quite a lot."

Jia Lian smiled incredulously, and said, "It's just that their uncle Leng Zixing has an antique shop, and the few things I didn't find happened to be antiques. I was thinking of taking someone to his shop. Take a look."

Mrs. Wang asked anxiously: "How can this be done? Leng Zixing is not our servant. How can we investigate others without evidence."

Jia Zheng: "Although we are the family of the princes, we can't do things like bullying others."

……

The views of the people are different, and it's another battle of words between you and me.

In the end, the old lady made a decision and said: "One is that people like us can't afford to lose this person, so it's better not to make a fuss about it. Two, if you go through an official, it's also a crime of disrespect to lose the imperial gift.

If we punished ourselves in the mansion a little harder so that they don't dare anymore, that's all. "

"It just so happens that Tan Heng is also a member of our family, so let him clear the case, and give some more silver to him to treat the children to dinner, as a favor to us."

There was a lot of commotion here, and everyone went to Zhou Rui's house to take another look, and it was also a bunch of things that people looked at.

Everyone was arguing over a few things they hadn't found, and they were about to go to Leng Zixing's shop to check, when suddenly a young man from Jia's mansion ran up and said, "Masters, hurry back to the mansion, there are people coming from the palace."

Everyone was taken aback, not knowing what it was.

Because these two servants lived in the backyard of Jia's mansion, they soon returned to Jia's mansion.

For a while, he politely welcomed the little eunuch in the palace into the main hall, and respectfully offered fragrant tea.

The little eunuch waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, just because the concubine Jia in the palace is ill and misses her family very much, so the family members of Xuangui's mansion come to the palace to see each other."

For a moment, Jiamu, Mrs. Wang and others were all panicked, and hurried back to the room and ordered the maidservant to change into the clothes for entering the palace.

Jia Zheng and the others hurriedly prepared, and asked the little eunuch again and again how the condition of the empress was, but the little eunuch also said that he didn't know the details, and the wives will know when they enter the palace.

When everyone was ready, they hurried into the car and followed the little eunuch into the palace.

After entering the Concubine Jia's palace, she saw that Concubine Jia hadn't lost weight, she seemed to be a little fatter than before, but her face was pale and her speech was weak.

Mother Jia and others had no choice but to comfort her, and Mrs. Wang inevitably shed tears secretly.

Concubine Jia took Mrs. Wang's hand, said a few homely words, and suddenly asked, "How is Baoyu recently? Has your knowledge improved?"

He also said: "Long time no see, I don't know if I have grown taller again, and tears flowed from my eyes."

He also said: "Baoyu is getting older now, so it's time to make a marriage. I see that Xue's sister has good character and talent, and an expert has already approved a "golden and jade marriage", and the two are together again. When you grow up, you should be able to achieve a marriage."

Mrs. Wang said: "Exactly. I also think she is good. Go back today and discuss with the master, and propose marriage to the aunt."

Jia's mother was unhappy when she heard it, but one was Baoyu's own mother and the other was the current empress, so she couldn't say anything.

After a while, the concubine came to visit, and it was inconvenient for Jiamu and others to stay for a long time, so she said goodbye and left.

Jia Zheng and the others were also very anxious outside the palace, and they were relieved when they heard that there were no serious symptoms.

On the second day, Mrs. Wang mentioned to Aunt Xue about Baoyu and Baochai's engagement.

Aunt Xue has been waiting for this day for a long time.Nature readily agreed.

When I went home and told Baochai, Baochai didn't have any troubles in his heart. After all, this was something that he had planned for a long time.

On this day, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were discussing which official matchmaker to invite for the marriage, how to decide, how to pay the bride price, etc., when Jia Zheng came in in a hurry, his eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "Go and invite Mrs. Madame, enter the palace immediately, someone from the palace said that the empress is seriously ill..."

Mrs. Wang only felt that her eyes went dark. Thanks to Aunt Xue who was next to her, she did not fall down.

For a while, the crowd was in chaos again, and Jiamu was also bluffing and chanting to Buddha: "Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless, as long as nothing happens!"

Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and others entered the palace gate, but before they saw Concubine Jia, they saw a eunuch coming out and shouted: "Quickly pass on the Qin Tianjian.

Jia Mu and others knew it was not good, but they dared not enter without a summons.

After a while, a little eunuch came out and announced: "Ms. Jia has passed away." Everyone in the Jia family didn't even see Yuan Chun for the last time.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were sad all the way. When they arrived at the mansion, everyone burst into tears when they heard the news.

Get up early the next day, and anyone who has a grade, according to the funeral ceremony of the noble concubine, please come in and cry. (Note 1)

In the next few days, everyone in Jia's mansion went to the palace every day, very busy.Only Baoyu is a man without official or job, and because he knows something about his family from school, he doesn't care about him.So there is nothing to do every day.

Getting up this morning, Xiren still helped Baoyu put on her clothes. When everything was properly dressed, Xiren reached out and touched Baoyu's pillow, and his face changed drastically!

Quickly opened the pillow and searched carefully, but did not find Baoyu's jade.

Xiren asked urgently, "I put it under the pillow with my own hands last night, why did it disappear?"

Baoyu didn't care much: "No one came in at night, why not? Look under the quilt."

So Xiren lifted the quilt again... until he turned the whole house upside down, but still found nothing.

As soon as Xiren fell down and sat on the bed, he murmured: "It's over... this is going to be fatal!"
