Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

Jia Cong boarded the official ship with light clothes and a simple car, and went south to work in the south of the Yangtze River.Jia Dairu and his wife discussed it. They couldn't clean up all the things in the house at the moment, and it was not good to delay the business. It is better for Jia Cong to go first. After he settles down in the local area, he will pick them up in a leisurely way.

Jia Cong said that he will return to the capital in the future. He has the experience of being an official in the local area, and his resume will be more complete, and this is also a rare training. Not only can he deeply understand the people's sentiments and political affairs, but it will be more beneficial for future promotion .The properties in the capital don't need to be disposed of, just send people to manage them and take care of them.

He had a long talk with Jia Dairu in private, and Mrs. Dairu didn't know what they said, but saw her husband with a dignified expression when he came out.Nanny Su and Qi Pingan did not follow Jia Cong to the south, Jia Cong left them in the capital and asked them to help take care of the house, and also ordered other things.

Jia Cong did not go to Rongguo Mansion to say goodbye, but he went to meet Yingchun alone.Cheng Juren studied hard in the academy on weekdays, and only went home to visit on holidays. He lived in seclusion in the Spring Festival, got along well with his aunt and grandma, and lived a very comfortable and peaceful life.Jia Cong confessed to her again, Yingchun was a little puzzled, but she had always trusted Jia Cong and agreed naturally.But afterwards, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

Two days before leaving, Xue Pan came angrily to talk to Jia Cong.From this, Jia Cong knew the follow-up story of his conversation that day.After Xue Pan went back, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He immediately sent someone to investigate and got the result soon.He angrily told Aunt Xue about Jia Mu's matchmaking, Jia Cong's words, and the situation he just investigated.Aunt Xue was first happy and then worried, but she couldn't believe it.Thinking of her daughter's future, under Xue Pan's questioning, Aunt Xue went to talk to Mrs. Wang, and talked about Baochai and Baoyu's marriage again, urging Mrs. Wang to settle down as soon as possible. , to be at ease.

This time, as usual, Mrs. Wang once again complained to Aunt Xue, saying that the old lady still refused to let go, apologetically asking Aunt Xue to slow down a little, she insisted on confronting the old lady, and promised that she would never Ken wants Lin Daiyu to be his daughter-in-law.....The attitude is still sincere, but there is still no result, and he can't give an accurate statement because of the left and right.At the end, Mrs. Wang also confided to Aunt Xue cryptically that the money in the house was not available for a while, and the etiquette in the palace had not yet been prepared.

Aunt Xue's heart sank gradually, and she returned home dejectedly, summoned Xue Pan and Xue Baochai, told all about the situation, and cried with Xue Baochai.Xue Pan angrily went to Jia's house to make a scene, but was persuaded by his mother and sister.

Xue Baochai couldn't help weeping, the youthful years spent in the Grand View Garden in the past few years, the charming feelings are unforgettable.But no matter how beautiful the bubble is, it will burst after all. "The most difficult thing is to keep it in the world, and the beautiful words of the beautiful flowers are the trees." The momentary sadness comes from it, and it hurts the heart.

But after she calmed down, she persuaded her brother. This kind of thing is a tacit understanding between mother and aunt, how can it be announced?Speaking out can only tarnish the reputation of the family and make people laugh, but the Jia family is indifferent.The Xue family's daughter's marriage is already difficult, Baoqin is still engaged in the marriage contract, and her husband's family is thinking of retiring the engagement. How can she bear this trouble, so she has to knock out her teeth and swallow her blood.Besides, although the Jia family is in decline, the Xue family is even worse, and it is still impossible to fight against it.Do you expect your uncle to be the master, but Wang Ziteng is not only her and Xue Pan's uncle, but also Jia Baoyu's uncle!Among the close Mrs. Wang and the mother who has been separated for many years, isn't it clear at a glance who he will favor?

Therefore, Xue Baochai only proposed that he could only withdraw in time, and use Mrs. Wang's remaining guilt and Jia's eagerness to get rid of Xue's family and climb high branches for Jia Baoyu to recover the loss of money as much as possible. before.But a family of three, without the ostentation and expenses of the Jia family, returned to Jinling. After all, it was their hometown, and the foundation was still there.It's okay to run a good business and live a safe life.The key point is that Xue Pan's lawsuit back then seemed to have serious hidden dangers, and he had to go back and try to settle it quickly, even if he pleaded guilty to a minor crime, it would be better than if it broke out in the future, it would be uncontrollable.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan believed Xue Baochai, and started to pack their luggage and leave for Jinling.At this time, Xue Pan didn't care about his feelings anymore, and went to Jia's mansion to ask for the debt.Jia Zhengzheng ordered the study and government officials to be released. At this moment, Xue Pan came to make a noise, and what he said was ugly. It seemed that his majestic government was using his son to cheat money. It sounded like Baoyu was like that laughing oiran , and immediately fainted with anger.He was also worried that his reputation would be bad and his future would be missed, so he ordered Mrs. Wang to quickly return the Xue family's money.

Mrs. Wang couldn't cope with Xue Pan's embarrassment, so she had to ask Aunt Xue to talk, and sent a maid to invite her. Aunt Xue was lying on the bed and seeing no one.Xue Pan claimed that his mother obeyed three virtues and obeyed four virtues, and that he was the head of the Xue family.The Jia family must either pay back the money, or let Baoyu and Baochai get married, or they will make a scene, and everyone will be ashamed.

In the end, the Jia family compromised, but they couldn't miss Baoyu's Qingyun Road. Mrs. Wang collected the silver from the public, and she and Jia's mother each took some private houses. His farm paid off part of the debt.

Although it was less than half of what was borrowed, Xue Pan saw that the Jia family couldn't make it up for a while, so he didn't care about it.While ordering his servants to pack their luggage quickly, he went to book an official ship, preparing to return to Jinling as soon as possible.I thought I could travel with Jia Cong as a companion, but the Xue family is only an imperial merchant, and the official ship cannot be ordered just as it is, and it has to be ranked after the official business. Xue Pan regrets and envies.In the past few years in the capital, he felt the difference between officials and businessmen, and understood that the Xue family was really worthless in front of power.It turned out that I had always been a frog in a well, but I thought I could run amok!He made up his mind that Xue Baochai's marriage should not be fooled by Jia Baoyu's uncontrollable showmanship anymore, and he had to plan it carefully.Either find an official, and the sequel will be successful; or bet on a capable scholar, maybe he can also be a royal wife in the future?

Jia Cong listened silently, surprised in his heart. From this point of view, Xue Baochai's prospects and fate have changed because of this?No matter whether it is a happy life in the future, going straight to the blue sky, or a difficult life, it will never be the ending like in the book: Jia Baoyu runs away, she raises her posthumous child alone, and her life is miserable and desolate!

When Jia Cong arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, it has been a prosperous place from ancient times to the present, with a comfortable life, pleasant scenery, and it is relatively easy to be an official.Jia Cong's job is to assist the magistrate and manage the economy, money and food, which suits his appetite, and the skills he honed in the Ministry of Households can be put to good use.He showed real talent and learning, so he was naturally valued by others. In addition, Jiangsu also had officials from the Guozijian, who knew that he was a closed disciple of Wang Daru, and unconsciously had a bit of fireworks with him. contacts.

The news in the capital also came through Qi Ping'an constantly, mainly from Jia's family: Jia Baoyu had been in the limelight several times at the poetry meeting and literature meeting, and was praised as a talented person. some fame.It is said that several palaces have noticed him, and Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are very excited, but there is no further result; Xue's family left the capital, Lin Daiyu's spirits improved at first, and her health improved, but then she suddenly disappeared for some reason. When he was sick, he became worse every day, and wept sickly in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion all day long; Wang Ziteng caught a cold on the way back to Beijing, and asked a quack doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and died after taking a dose of medicine; The second master's errands went wrong, and he was impeached by his superiors. He was afraid that he would be accused of crimes; the noble concubine in the palace was seriously ill

After receiving this news, Jia Cong's heart skipped a beat, Concubine Xiande was about to die!Not long after her death, the Jia family's building collapsed, ushering in the end of ransacking the house and questioning her.The footsteps of fate, step by step, gradually approached!

He hurriedly edited a book, urging Jia Dairu and his wife to go south quickly and leave Nafei by reason that the road would be difficult to walk in the cold weather.Unexpectedly, Jia Dairu returned to Taoism, and Dairu's wife caught cold and fell ill.Because of getting old, he stayed in bed for a period of time due to lingering illness, so he didn't dare to travel far, so he wanted to stay in the capital for the time being.He comforted Jia Cong and said, anyway, they are side branches, as long as they are not accused of rebellion, Ningrong Second House will not be involved in them, so don't worry.Their seniority, no one can entangle with them.

Jia Cong thought about it for a while, and it seemed to be true. Besides, they couldn't come, so they had no choice but to tell Qi Pingan to pay attention to the movement of Jia's mansion.If something happens, just follow what he told you before leaving Beijing.

Three months later, Jia Cong received two urgent letters from the capital.

The first letter was sent by Qi Ping'an, in which it was written that Concubine Xian De passed away in the palace, and the funeral after her death was very simple, and there was no sealing, so people in Ningrong and Rongfu were panicked.

The second letter was written by Jia Dairu himself, telling him that the Ningrong Second Mansion ransacked the house, and all the men in the family were sent to the Prison Temple for trial, and the situation is still unknown.The female relatives are locked in the garden, and outsiders are not allowed to visit

finally come!Holding the letter paper, Jia Cong was in a complicated mood. There was a strange sense of relief when the dust had settled, mixed with some lamentation.As the concubine of the Jia family in the past, I am still a member of the Jia family today. In such a huge change, it is impossible to stay completely out of it!Thinking of the arrangement before leaving, Jia Cong heaved a long sigh.

The arrangements he made for the Jia family after the ransacking can only be said to have done their best.If the Jia family is insatiably demanding, then he will not pay attention.If you have a clear conscience in everything, that's enough!
