Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

In fact, Mrs. Wang really has no calculations. Now that the Jia family is a hot potato full of holes, Mrs. Wang will not be so stupid as to touch the power of housekeeper at this time. Who wants to use their own money to fill this bottomless pit in the government?She just saw that Wang Xifeng's wings were getting harder and her position in the family was getting more and more stable, and she didn't feel comfortable looking at it, so she complained in front of the old lady about Baoyu.She didn't expect Wang Xifeng to come at such a coincidence, and she didn't know if what she said just now had reached Wang Xifeng's ears, and she said behind her back that the younger generation was wrong, even if it was Mrs. Wang, she was a little embarrassing at this time.

Wang Xifeng didn't care about this, and opened the door as soon as he entered the door: "Just outside I heard that my wife blamed me for treating Baoyu harshly. My wife has wronged me. Brother Bao is a lovely person. I can't do enough to love him. How could he want to Treat him harshly? Of these families who have paid off their debts, which family is not tight, who can laugh at whom?

Let me tell you, if we pretended to be good-looking in the year of Yin, outsiders would probably not envy them, but gossip behind our backs, since our family didn't hurt our muscles and bones to clear the deficit?Then there will be big troubles.It's better to be tighter now, so that people will know the suffering of our family, the emperor will be merciful, maybe show some pity, and let the second uncle have a bright future.Ma'am, are you right when I say this? "

Wang Xifeng was eloquent, her mouth seemed to be wound up like clockwork, and as soon as the call was finished, Jia's mother immediately returned to her thoughts that had been distracted by Mrs. Wang because she loved her grandson, and she glanced at Wang Xifeng approvingly. , and then said to Mrs. Wang: "It seems that I am old and confused, and it is still Feng girl who sees the long-term. Although life is a little bit hard now, it is a long-term solution. Revitalizing the Duke's Mansion is still on the man's body. Baoyu's good days are yet to come."

Mrs. Wang called Wang Xifeng to fight for a long time, and was labeled as short-sighted. Her teeth were itchy with hatred, but she still had to put on a smile to match the old lady's words. This smile was extremely stiff.

Wang Xifeng won a complete victory, but she didn't show a look of complacency, on the contrary, her expression darkened, her eye circles were a little red and she said: "The old lady loves me so much, it's nothing if I bear some infamy, it's all for the good of my family. Old lady, you are sensible, and the second wife is also kind. It is good to call me to talk about it. I have become a sinner through the ages over there. God, I have used my own dowry. what about me?"

When the old lady heard this, she also sighed heavily: "Your father-in-law is a disrespectful old man, and I've heard about all the bastard things he did. Don't worry, I will make the decision for you this time."

After Jia She recovered from his illness, he saw that all the pretty girls in his room were gone, and now that the family debts had been paid off, the big stone in his heart was gone, and these problems started to reappear, thinking about using money to buy them again. A few, but the food and clothing at home are all being cut, where is there such spare money?

As he got older, his face became thicker, and he reached out to Jia Lian. Whenever he didn't want to, he would beat and scold him like an old man. Jia Lian went back to his son's room with a bruised nose and swollen face, and spoke soft words Ask Wang Xifeng for money.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng would not give it to her, so she came up with an idea and asked the people around Jia Mu to blow the wind in front of the old lady, saying that people in the capital are panicking and everyone is frightened. What's the matter, the idea of ​​beating the daughter-in-law's dowry is enough to attract people's tongues, if you cause other troubles because of beating, I'm afraid that even the Duke's mansion will be tired.

The old lady also thought it was true. For Jia She's stupid things, in the past, Jia's mother would have scolded him and it would be over. Whitewashing the peace makes them unwilling to pierce the window paper, but now that the Jia family has just suffered a serious injury, it has finally improved a bit. If Jia She is allowed to make a big mess at this time, it will be a sign of a real prodigal family, and the old lady will not Don't take this matter seriously.

While talking here, suddenly a girl from outside ran in in a panic: "Old lady, it's not good, the palace sent someone to the mansion to fetch someone!"

Jiamu's face changed drastically, Wang Xifeng stood up suddenly, and grabbed the maid's arm: "What a panic look! What palace? Who are you taking, please explain clearly."

The little maid also just heard the commotion outside, and hurried in to report the news after hearing something about it. When Wang Xifeng asked, she hesitated and couldn't explain clearly. Don't worry, old lady, this little girl is so frizzy that she may have misheard and she may not be sure, so I'll ask someone who is appropriate to go ahead and have a look."

Jia's mother managed to hold her head and nodded, Wang Xifeng nodded to Ping'er, and Ping'er went to the front for a while before returning, and told the story in detail.

It turned out that something happened to Jia Amnesty.These days, Jia Amnesty wanted to buy a beautiful girl but he couldn't find one, and he felt uncomfortable, and he was lingering on the sick bed for so long, and felt that his whole body was going to rust, so he took his two long-term followers outside to find a few of his friends. Take a breather on the Antique Street.

This time he fell in love with a seal collected by a wealthy businessman's son outside, and fell in love with it just by looking at it, but he had no money at hand, so he wanted to use his power to overwhelm him, thinking that the other party was just a businessman, so there was nothing to worry about.

Unexpectedly, the young master didn't show Rongguo Mansion's face, instead he said a few words back, which annoyed Jia Amnesty, and when he got angry, he ordered two of his subordinates to snatch the seal, beat him black and swollen and prolong his death go.

Jia Amnesty had done such things before, so he wasn't worried about causing trouble, and because he got the seal he liked, his mood improved a lot, and his bad mood of wanting to buy a stunning girl was completely relieved.But he didn't know that although this young master came from a merchant family, he was the good friend of the loyal Prince.

Now the new king is keeping filial piety for his father, so he broke off contact with this one.But in the end it was the person who was on top of his heart, the young master was bullied and sued to him, and when he heard that it was the people from the Rongguo Mansion who succeeded, Prince Zhongshun was also angered.He had already had an enmity with the King of Beijing because of the previous incident, and just seeing their faction's displeasure, Jia She, a scumbag, dared to touch his people at this time. Is this deceiving him to be loyal to the palace, or what? of?

King Zhongshun sent the long history of the mansion to the Rongguo Mansion to ask for an explanation. This long history was extremely tough. After reprimanding Jia She, he threatened to sue him in the Yamen for official business, which scared Jia She half to death.

It was Jia Lian who came forward to say good things, promised a large sum of compensation, and promised to hand over the two long followers who beat the man to Prince Zhongshun, and then he dealt with the long history.

Now that the long history of the palace has just left, Ping'er told Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng all these things, and Wang Xifeng said to Ping'er with red eyes: "How much should I pay in total?"

Ping'er replied in a low voice: "Changshi said, it only costs 10 taels because of the friendship between the palace and the Duke."

Jiamu's face darkened immediately, 10 taels!She didn't know whether to blame Zhongshun Wangfu's lion head, or to hate her son for not making progress, and her hands trembled with anger.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly supported Jia Mu's hand: "Old lady, don't be so angry. Ping'er, go to my cage and take out the land deed of Xiaoquan Mountain that I dowry. We can't get the cash, then The land has a hot spring, and it is close to the capital, so 10 taels is enough anyway, so you can take it to the uncle."

Jiamu took Wang Xifeng's hand: "Girl, it's your unworthy father-in-law. Don't worry, as long as I have breath, I won't let this unworthy thing cause trouble in the house."

Mother Jia was able to teach her son a lesson, but Wang Xifeng couldn't agree with her son in a fair manner. She just lowered her head and wiped her tears without saying a word. Mrs. Wang next to her was relieved that Jia Zheng would not be implicated after this matter was over, and she refreshed her views on Wang Xifeng's net worth again. In the past, she thought that she could roughly figure out how much dowry Wang Xifeng had, but now it seems that she is still not enough.

Then, Mrs. Wang complained a little bit about her old father. That was the hot spring area of ​​Xiaoquan Mountain, and it was too much for her father to give such a valuable land to Feng girl as a dowry.But she didn't know that these land properties were not bought by Mrs. Wang for Wang Xifeng, but the bonuses she earned from running the shop for so many years, just in the name of dowry.

Early the next morning, Mother Jia called Jia She to the front of the house, did not mention the matter of the palace, but said: "Yesterday I dreamed of your father, and he complained that I did not go back to worship the ancestors for so many years. Our family has encountered all these problems. Now you don’t have much to do, why don’t you go back to the south with me and repair the ancestral tombs and ancestral halls, so that your father and ancestors can bless our family to prosper.”

Jia Amnesty was still in shock because of the affairs of the palace, and was afraid that the other party would relentlessly retaliate against him. Hearing what Jia Mu said, he was very willing in his heart, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to go out and hide.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jia Mu didn't say anything more, and asked him to go back to clean up. Then she called Wang Xifeng and told Wang Xifeng her plan.This time she made up her mind to take Jia She and his wife back to the south, away from the capital, which is prone to troubles, and she must take care of the boss's temper when she arrives in the south.

"I just don't want to part with these children." Baoyu is only a little bit old, thinking that she doesn't know when she will see her beloved grandson again, Jia's mother's heart is pulled together again.

Wang Xifeng naturally understands that the so-called "these children" in the old lady's mouth are just Baoyu. For Yingchun from their concubine and Tanchun from Aunt Zhao's second wife, the old lady's love is limited. pimple.

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng smiled. The relationship between her and her good aunt would never be the same as before. It was her usual style to spare no effort to suppress the enemy: "Old lady, Baoyu grew up by your side. The first sentence I said It’s about the old lady. Who doesn’t know that Brother Bao can’t leave without the old lady? The south is the old house, the blessed land of our Jia family, with beautiful mountains and rivers and a pleasant climate. Why don’t you take Baoyu with you? Go back, maybe Brother Bao prefers the south side, "

When Jia's mother heard it, her heart was moved immediately, and Wang Xifeng added another firewood: "The second wives on the left and right are going to help the second uncle and entertain these wives and wives in the capital, and they are exhausted. Let Brother Bao be by your side for the second uncle and second wife." Being filial is also the duty of being a child, isn't it?"

This word went to the heart of the old lady, also known as the right word, the old lady agreed immediately, and when she told Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang was so angry that her liver hurt and wanted to object, but Jia Mu said, if If she was willing, she could take Baoyu and go back to the south with her, and it could be regarded as the second wife's filial piety by her side.How could Mrs. Wang be willing?Once she left, wouldn't Aunt Zhao be turned upside down?

Everything was arranged properly, even though Madam Wang was full of reluctance and distress, the old lady still took the big house Jia She and his wife and her beloved Baoyu half a month later, and a group of mighty people left the capital to go back to Jinling Ancestral Hall. house.

Yingchun was kept by Mrs. Xing, she didn't want to spend more money for Yingchun, her petty air was what Wang Xifeng despised the most.Left and right Wang Xifeng has not yet had a son and a half daughter. Looking at the cute little doll Yuan Chun, she loves her from the bottom of her heart. Mrs. Xing is not willing to take her with her, and she is not willing to let a good girl by the side of someone like Mrs. Xing As he grew up, he became more and more petty.

During the period when the Jia family was tossing, the situation in central Beijing also underwent earth-shaking changes.The Zhong'an Prince's Mansion, which has been passed down since Gaozu's time, has completely disappeared in the royal family's lineage. All the families have become a thing of the past because of their involvement in it. Instead, a few upstarts have become the focus of the whole capital's attention.

Different from the desolate fate of the family members of Zhong'an Palace, Xue's father and son were rewarded a lot because of their meritorious service in assisting in handling the case.

Xue Mingyi even made a big splash by taking advantage of the selling stalls of major families in Beijing to buy many prosperous shops on the busy streets. They didn't dare to say anything.Aren't these all the antique utensils that they turned in when they cleared their deficits? If the Xue family dared to sell them in their own shop in such an open manner, it must have got the emperor's will.

For a while, everyone became more and more sure that the current emperor stood behind the Xue family, and those who laughed at Xue Mingyi and his son for not even earning a title for their hard work at the beginning also died down.In this world, the prince's mansion was ruined overnight, and the county prince's mansion was turned into a seller to pay off the debt. The title is no longer iron-clad, and Jane is the most important thing in the emperor's heart.

As a result, the Xue family has naturally become the undisputed upstart in Beijing, and Xue Mingyi and his son have also become the upstart in the capital's social circle. Many small families have even turned their ideas on the Xue family's father and son who are lonely in the backyard.Xue Mingyi's wife is far away in the south, and there is no one to serve her, and Xue Pan is only engaged but not married yet.

Xue Mingyi was not a flower lover, otherwise he wouldn't have only his wife at this age.Now being pushed to the cusp of the storm, the risks brought about by rising status are the same. Xue Mingyi was not flattered by these people. Those people thought he climbed to his current position by hugging the emperor's thigh, but they didn't know why the emperor The reason why he valued him was because he was on the side of Mr. Lin.

If one day he pissed off Jing Xuan, the emperor would be the first to turn his back on him.It is precisely because of this clear understanding that Xue Mingyi is now more cautious.Employing a few women may bring the risk of cleaning up the mess for the people behind these women. He is not so lucrative and out of his wits, so thank you for not being sensitive.

Xue Pan is even more of a bronchitis now, Wu Niang sternly sternly, Xue Pan dare not even show his anger, swears that he has no second thoughts, and even speaks to the outside world, who dares to persuade him to accept the child and send him away Girl, if you take him to a dirty place, it's all against him.

While this move was ridiculed by many people in Beijing, it also made many boudoir women who had heard the news deeply envy Wu Niang. It is easy to get priceless treasures, but it is rare to have a lover.Even the old lady who had heard the rumor that Xue Pan was the devil king in Jinling in the past, compared with the young man who is now helping to keep the house in order, looking at his son who is full of dandyism is not pleasing to the eye.

It is said that if a prodigal son turns his head back, money is not worth it, but how many prodigal sons in this world can turn back?It is even rarer to return so positively and firmly.All of a sudden, a whirlwind of rectification blew up in Beijing, which made the dandies tremble. Their parents seemed to have been shot, and these young men who had nothing to do on weekdays, walking around and looking for flowers, stopped. After a long while, the entire capital became quite quiet.

The Zhao family father and son took their troops back to the south to continue training after finishing their work, accompanied by generous food and military supplies.For so many years, the Zhao family and the emperor's ministers have developed a tacit understanding. At this time, all rewards are empty, and food and military equipment are the last word.

The Jin family can be regarded as officially showing their faces in the capital. There was a well-known drama staged by Jingxuan before. The story of the Jin family has long been known, but these families in the capital really saw it This is the first time for the legendary Jin family, this is really a pheasant and a phoenix.Envious, jealous, disdainful, everyone, Wu Niang ignored them all, and brought her brothers to buy a good house in the capital, and hung the sign of the escort agency in the capital.

Wu Niang was very active. Seeing that Jing Xuan and Wei Zhen were buying both a house and a Zhuangzi in the capital, she guessed that they might not return to the south for a short time, and they might stay in the capital for three to five years. .The Wuniang brothers and sisters have always believed in the principle of following Mr. Lin to eat meat. Seeing that Jingxuan had the posture to stay in the capital, they followed suit in buying real estate and land, and shifted their focus here.

Wu Niang was right in thinking, Jing Xuan did have plans to stay in the capital.As for the reason, Jing Xuan looked helplessly at the eerie Yongshou Palace, and sighed deeply.

Sitting on the dragon chair for so many years, although the emperor still hasn't changed the most irritable and paranoid side of his temperament, but facing the Manchu civil and military for so many years, he has already practiced the city mansion without showing emotions.But every time he faces the Supreme Emperor, the emperor's city will be destroyed very quickly. Even though the estrangement between the father and son has been eliminated by the appearance of Jing Xuan, the emperor still can't change his habit of losing his temper when he sees his father. .

Especially, what is this old disrespectful thing doing? !

On the other hand, the emperor, in the past, was easily recalcitrant. Take the matter of Yanzheng as an example, he could "run away from home" in trouble, and his temper was unreasonably stubborn.But now, facing the undisguised disdainful eyes of his son and the helpless eyes of his good grandson, the Supreme Emperor, who has always been a bad temper, completely extinguished his anger, his head drooped, his beard was not upturned, and he said in a low voice: "Just that one time, who would have thought it would be such a coincidence..."

"One time? Father, you are really sympathetic! It's in Jingxuan's place, and father is too embarrassed to do it? What's more, father, your identity, don't you know how to use avoidance soup afterwards?"

The emperor was going to be so angry by the emperor. The people from Weiyang came to report that a servant girl who had served the emperor was pregnant. The emperor was stunned for a long time when he heard the news. Jing Xuan was there at the time. I was dumbfounded, the two of them went to the Yongshou Palace and asked, and the emperor remembered that he was blessed with a maid.

The emperor thought that he was so old that nothing could happen to him, so he didn't take this matter to himself, and he didn't want to bring the woman back to the palace, so he simply put this matter behind him. Thinking that it was such a coincidence, how could he still be strong at his age?

If this happened in the palace, the emperor might be complacent, but when he thought that it happened when he was with Jingxuan and lived in Jingxuan's real estate, the emperor felt very ashamed. His face flushed red in front of his son and grandson, and his confidence was instantly lacking.

After the emperor let out his stomach full of anger, he looked at the emperor who was rarely silent, and snorted again from his nose. Jing Xuan coughed and interrupted his impulse to start the second round of bombing the emperor: "That girl is It is not surprising that such a thing happened with a clean death contract and serving by the emperor's grandfather."

After saying this, the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Emperor glared at Wei Zhen who was standing on the side like a pillar, and said: You are the one who broke our good Jingxuan!

Jing Xuan is only 11 years old now, Wei Zhen is already, Jing Xuan will know that Wei Zhen definitely taught these nasty things!Sure enough, a big black pot was buckled down.Wei Zhen continued to watch his nose, nose and heart unmoved, completely ignoring the anger of the two great gods.

He and Jing Xuan met the emperor today for the purpose of conferring rewards, and this time it was their first achievement, but neither of them had the intention of becoming an official in the court, Jing Xuan wanted to be free and easy, and was unwilling to be bound by these constraints.When an official looks at the scenery, how many pairs of eyes are staring at it? Yushitai is not a decoration. Jing Xuan is used to it, so he can't stand the rigid life, and he doesn't want to cause trouble to the emperor who really loves him, so he simply pushes such a good thing off. Give it to the cheap father Lin Ruhai, after all, he is the justifiable Xunyan Yushi, isn't he?

This is especially true for Wei Zhen, his only goal is to be by Jing Xuan's side, and he admits that he has no ambitions. In his previous life, he also did his duty in protecting his family and country. The emperor who was born in the army didn't have those problems of emphasizing civility over martial arts, and he didn't need him to serve the country and the country. Life was short, and after finally coming back, there was still Jingxuan by his side. He just wanted to cherish this life.

Who would have thought that such explosive news would come just after reaching an agreement with the emperor?
