Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

The team that came to search Ning Rong's Second Mansion was led by King Xining and King Beijing, but it was Hall Zhao of Jinyi Mansion who was in charge.The purpose of the emperor sending these two kings to inspect the old acquaintance Jia's house was to force them to take a stand, which would not only disgust them once, but also frighten others.Let everyone see, the Nan'an palace is completely ruined in the old honorable center, the king of Dongping has nothing to contend with, the king of Xining and the king of Beijing are also kneeling now, who dares to disobey the majesty of the emperor?

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian from Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion were sent to prison for trial.After a severe interrogation, it was found that Jia Amnesty, a trafficker, used the strong to bully the weak, and forced the stone nerd to death because of the ancient fan. It was also revealed; Forcibly took a woman from a good family as a concubine, and forced her to death because of her disobedience (this is the second sister You, because Wang Xifeng sent people to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to sue, leaving a record); Chazi, the house slaves relied on him as an official, pretending to be a tiger, requisitioning grain and rice, and tyrannying the people; Jia Lian thought that he had done no serious crimes and should be fine, but in the end, he found a large number of usury loan notes in his room. It is a serious crime for this official family to let usury, and then the house slave confessed to taking over the lawsuit in the name of Jia's family.These were all ordered by Wang Xifeng.Therefore, the husband and wife both went to prison.Jia Lian was very angry, new hatred and old hatred came to his heart, and he declared on the spot that he would abandon Wang Xifeng.

The female family members of the Jia family were only confinement in the mantou nunnery. After all, the Jia family was not as prominent as the Zhen family, and they couldn't make much trouble. The emperor didn't hate them as much as the Zhen family.But the life of the prisoner is obviously extremely torturous. Food is provided, but it can only guarantee a simple meal. It is impossible to have a good meal like the old days.After ransacking the house, everyone only kept some close-fitting clothes and accessories, even if they were clever, they kept some small pieces of gold and silver jewelry in private, but they dared not take them out.Coupled with the men who were worried about being imprisoned, and worried about whether their family would end up like the daughters of the Zhen family in the future, within a few days, everyone looked haggard and anxious.

Jia Mu's imperial wife's canonization has not been erased, and the guardian women should be more polite to her.She managed to inquire about the news outside.Among the relatives, the two nephews of the Shi family have been released and are not in the capital at all.Even now, the historian has long since fallen, can't help much, and the relationship is far away, I'm afraid they won't be willing to implicate their own family.Since Wang Ziteng's death, the Wang family has actually fallen apart, and now there is also a censor who is impeaching, and there is no hope for the Wang family to recover the deficit.After careful calculation, the only hope is the Lin family.

Mother Jia took out a gold bracelet she had kept privately and bribed the guards, and sent someone to the Lin family for help.Although Lin Daiyu and Lin Chenxi are stranded in the south of the Yangtze River, there is still a housekeeper in the old Lin family house.The housekeeper had already received Lin Daiyu's orders, and a few days ago, he received a letter from Jiangnan, and he was already prepared.He was familiar with the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he asked someone secretly about the court's attitude towards the Jia family.

The acquaintances in the House of Internal Affairs also knew that Prince Zhonghui seemed to be a little different from the Lin family girl, so they did not dare to neglect, and quietly reported to Prince Zhonghui.Miss Lin is the granddaughter of Jia's mother. If she wants to help the Jia family, will the emperor not like it?But if you don't pay attention to it, it seems that others will discuss it.Then how to grasp the speed in the middle, I also ask the prince to teach the Lin family one or two.

"Oh, the girl from the Lin family didn't ask to absolve the men of the Jia family who were imprisoned?" Prince Zhonghui rolled his eyes and asked.

"That's not true. The housekeeper of the Lin family only said that Miss Lin ordered him to take care of some female relatives and not let them follow in the footsteps of the family members of criminal ministers." The man said earnestly, not daring to hide anything.Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat. Isn't the Zhen family run by the prince? Will the prince be angry when he hears this?

Prince Zhonghui didn't care, and said lightly, since that's the case, then it's okay.It is human nature for Miss Lin to care about her mother's relatives, which shows that she has a kind heart.He also ordered that person to help the housekeeper of the Lin family, so that he could be a little more accommodating.Hearing this, the man thought in his heart, it seems that those rumors are not groundless, as expected, the prince has a different opinion of the Lin family.

So, when he turned his head, he was very attentive to the housekeeper of the Lin family, and offered to help him go to Jinyi Mansion to clear up the relationship.Prince Zhonghui has a lot of face, and the Lin family's request is not high, so Jinyi Mansion naturally gave him the green light.

The housekeeper of the Lin family was allowed to bring a lot of clothes and supplies to the mantou nunnery to meet Jiamu.At this time, the food and clothing of the female family members of the Jia family had gradually become thinner. Lin Butler's move was like sending charcoal in the snow, and everyone expressed their gratitude.But it was a bit regretful, Lin Jia's housekeeper was just a servant after all, and he couldn't do big things in his own right.Lin Daiyu happened to live thousands of miles away in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise, alas, she would have been able to help her family more!

Mother Jia immediately asked Steward Lin about the situation outside. They were locked in the mansion with their eyes and ears closed.Butler Lin told what he knew one by one.When Jia's mother heard that Jia She and Jia Zheng were on trial, she was extremely anxious.But facing Steward Lin, it was inconvenient for her to say anything, so she had to earnestly ask him to also send some things to the mountain temple where Jia's men were imprisoned, so that they could save them from suffering.After the Jia family followed Jia She and others, Jia Baoyu, as the second son, was also imprisoned and locked up with his father and uncles.Wang Xifeng is the daughter-in-law of the big house, and she was charged with a crime, and she was also imprisoned in a women's prison. Ping'er volunteered to take care of her.

This was within the allowed range, so Steward Lin agreed, and then sent things to Mantou Temple and Shanshen Temple several times.Seeing it in the eyes of other people, they all felt that the Lin family was really benevolent and righteous. In fact, everyone was well aware of the entanglement between the Lin family and the Jia family back then.Unexpectedly, when Jia's mansion was overturned and everyone avoided it, he could ignore the previous suspicions, which is really admirable!

Mantouan's control over the female family members of Jia's family was looser. Jia's mother was keenly aware of the guards' politeness to the housekeeper of Lin's family, and she made some indirect remarks, and she had some ideas in her mind.The next time the housekeeper of the Lin family came to visit, he directly asked whether he could ask Lord Zhonghui to intercede on behalf of the Jia family, so as to lessen the guilt of this crime and at least keep Yu'er and her uncles.Pity them at such an old age, if they are still sent to prison to question their crimes, how can they survive?She is a grandmother, beg your girl!

The housekeeper of the Lin family sneered, sure enough, the girl expected that Mrs. Jia would make such a request.He respectfully refused. How could the Daoring family have this ability, and he couldn't make the decision as a servant.The reason why he was able to help the Jia family was that he met a few friends in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who introduced acquaintances to them, and spent money to get accommodation.Those who tried the master of the Jia family were all from above, and he was not lucky enough to know him, so how dare he go forward?

Jia's mother didn't believe it, but she could only cry and complain to the Lin family's steward, who was swearing by her vows.After much deliberation, Mother Jia had no choice but to write another letter, asking Lin Butler to send it to Lin Daiyu.My grandmother's family was in great trouble, and I begged her to return to the capital for her mother's sake.No way, they will never see each other again in the future.

Housekeeper Lin couldn't ignore Jia Mu's letter, so he had no choice but to send someone to Jiangnan, and also reported in detail what happened in the capital, and he handled everything according to the girl's orders.After Lin Daiyu received the letter, she smiled helplessly and put it aside.If she is willing to be a virgin, then why did she avoid Jiangnan in the first place?

While Jia's mother was waiting more and more desperately day by day, the Jia family's verdict came down.The Ningrong Second Mansion dismissed the death title and demoted it to a commoner.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen were exiled for [-] miles, and each distributed them to the bitter and cold places in the north and the sea to forgive their crimes; The same was exiled for two thousand miles.So far, all the men in Jia's family have been convicted, leaving only Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan, but these three are not up to the task.

Wang Xifeng died in prison. After the Lin family's butler got the news, he ordered someone to find a coffin and buried her anyway, so that she didn't end up being buried in a straw mat in the snow.

All the maids and servants of the Jia family were sold off, and the proceeds were confiscated into the treasury to make up for the debts owed by the Jia family.The female relatives were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe and were not reduced to slavery. It is said that Prince Zhonghui persuaded him a few words, and the emperor also gave him this face.But Jia's family property could not be preserved, and the Ningrong Second Mansion was taken back by the court.Although the Grand View Garden was built by the Jia family at a huge expense, the Jia family naturally dedicated it to the court with great interest.The emperor gave the reward to Prince Zhonghui without any hassle, but Prince Zhonghui refused. He just went for a stroll in person, and when he walked out of the garden, he looked a bit sad.

Steward Lin picked up the members of the Jia family from the Mantou Temple, and sent them to a small courtyard with three entrances far away from Lin's mansion.It wasn't a great place, but it was clean and safe.Thirty rooms are enough for them to live in.The house was cleaned up, equipped with tables, chairs, beds, etc. In the kitchen, rice, noodles and firewood were prepared, and two women were arranged to cook.But the housekeeper of the Lin family said that the two women were hired, and the Lin family paid them three months' wages.Three months later, the Jia family either did the work themselves, or continued to hire the woman, but they had to pay for it themselves.

Everyone muttered twice in dissatisfaction, but they didn't dare to say anything more. Now only the Lin family is willing to help them, and they can't offend them anymore.

Mother Jia's heart was heavy, and she saw that Butler Lin took out a few things and pointed them to her one by one.

"Old lady, this is the deed of this yard. You have collected it, so you can have a place to live. This is 500 taels of silver, which is the cost of living. You should buy something. There are also the deeds of these two small villages. , these two villages are not far from the capital, and together they have hundreds of acres of land, rented out, the annual rent is also a few hundred taels of silver, which is enough to live on. These are all prepared for you by the girl's order. Girl For the sake of my wife, I arranged for the old lady to live for the rest of her life so that you will not suffer forever. She said that she has repaid her grievances with virtue and done her best, so you should be content. After that, she will never see the Jia family again!" Lin The butler said calmly.

Mother Jia felt all sorts of feelings in her heart. After a long time, she smiled bitterly and said, "Your girl has already planned to do this, right? She refuses to reply to my letter. Is she planning to break up with me just like that?"

"Old lady, back then, when the girl was still in the capital, she broke up with you. This time, it's just repaying the Jia family. Please don't talk to your wife about your blood relationship. If it's not this time, The Lin family has contributed, and the old lady also knows what the situation you are in now."

"But, your girl can obviously get Prince Zhonghui's help, why won't she save her uncle?" Mother Jia pursed her lips unwillingly.

"Old lady be careful!" Lin Butler seriously stopped: "Don't ruin my girl's reputation and spread it outside." He sneered: "I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the Jia family!"

Mother Jia was silent.No matter how much she preached, she had no choice but to be ignored by others.If Prince Zhonghui was angered because of this, she looked around at the dismal-faced people, shivered unknowingly, and immediately swallowed all the words into her stomach.Even if you are not reconciled, you have no choice but to let it go!

The Jia family died down, and how the future life will be has nothing to do with the Lin family.Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief when she received the letter from Butler Lin.From that day on, she never saw the Jia family again.The page of the Jia family has finally been turned.
