The maid of the red house
Chapter 87
Hearing the news that Xue's house was raided, Madam Wang and Baochai's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly changed their faces, especially Baochai, who was ashen-faced and not as dignified as usual, asked hurriedly, "What's the reason? Confiscated?"
Mrs. Wang glanced at Baochai and asked the same question.
The mother-in-law who came to report the letter said: "I heard that it was a fake, and almost missed the important event of the superior. Long Yan was furious, so he ordered the household department to search."
Mrs. Wang heard this, and said: "The Xue family has been searched, how about Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue?"
The woman said: "When I came here, I was still raiding the house. Uncle Xue has already been arrested and sent to the prison. Only my concubine and grandma are left at home. I don't know what to do now."
Mrs. Wang looked at Baochai hurriedly and said, "Go back and find out what's going on, and ask to understand."
Baochai said yes, and hurried back to her room, ordering people to prepare chariots and horses to go out.
Looking at Baochai's back, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt a bit of regret in her heart. She knew that Xue's family ended up like this, and Baochai's dowry was not as good as Baoqin.Except that Baochai can persuade Baoyu to make progress and is of one mind with herself, the rest have not helped Baoyu, and are even more harmful to the future.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang sighed, no matter what, Baochai suits her best.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's expression, Jin Huan knew it, and hurried forward to persuade him: "Madam, don't worry, we still have uncle at home, send a letter to uncle, please take care of it, it's okay to come to my wife's house if you want to."
Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "I don't know what trouble Pan'er caused."
After finishing speaking, he said: "Bring a pen and ink. I will write a letter and send it to my uncle. Girl Bao is so worried about her mother and brother that she has forgotten such an important matter. Girl Bao has already entered our house. No matter what, we can't Let something happen to the Xue family."
Jin Huan hurriedly fetched the pen and ink, Madam Wang took it with a wave, sealed it, and called her mother-in-law to send it to Wang's house.
After the people left, Mrs. Wang said to Jin Huan: "Last time I said that the two girls, Ningbi and Liuzhu, are good. Although their appearance is a little bit worse than that of Qingwenfang who was sent out before, their demeanor is more stable. , People are also honest, they are not people who mess around, you will take them there in a while, and let Baoyu stay in the room to order."
Jin Huan agreed, and said: "Understood, what orders does Madam have?"
Mrs. Wang said: "No, go and call Baoyu first, and when Bao girl comes back, let her come and talk to me."
But when Baochai came into the house, Baoyu was reading under the window. Since they got married, he had nothing to do. Although Baochai tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen at all. It was quite different, and he asked unconsciously, "Sister, what's wrong? What happened?"
Baochai was full of anxiety, and when she heard Baoyu's soft voice, she shed tears immediately, and then wiped away her tears and said, "something happened at home, I'll go back and see my mother and sister-in-law, but I don't know how mother and sister-in-law are now."
Baoyu asked, "But the elder brother's case has come out?"
Although Baoyu doesn't care about things, he knows Xue Pan's nature, and this is the only way to make Xue Pan's family panic.
Baochai was startled, shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's not because of this, but because of an errand. I said that I didn't do the errand that my superiors told me. Now I'm afraid that my brother will go to jail and the previous case will be uncovered. By then Fang is worse."
Baoyu listened to her words, pondered for a while, and said, "If it's anything else, it's fine. If it's really a life lawsuit, what should my sister do?"
Baochai's eyes turned red, and she said, "I don't know what to do either."
Seeing the worry on her face, Baoyu was not as confident as before, but became more popular, and said, "I'll take my sister there, let's see what's going on, and then send a letter to Liu Xianglian, asking him for help. "
Baochai remembered that Liu Xianglian was Baoqin's husband and Xue Panzhi's righteous brother, and he felt a little relieved. Hearing Baoyu's words, he hurriedly said, "Come on, I know your kindness. Didn’t leave, you went there, didn’t you bump into you? At that time, how can I explain to my wife? You are reading a book at home, I will go by myself. "
Without saying a word, Mrs. Wang sent Jinhuan to call Baoyu.
Baoyu couldn't help being in a dilemma. He wanted to accompany Baochai back to her mother's house and comfort her on the way, but he didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Wang's wishes.
Baochai said: "I am very comforted that you have this heart, so you don't have to accompany me there."
Baoyu heard this and said, "Then sister, be careful on the road, and bring more servants to follow."
Baochai nodded, and Ying'er suddenly came back and said that the carriages and horses were ready, and secretly glanced at Baoyu. Baochai hurriedly changed her clothes, and took her, Wen Xing, and several young girls and old women in the car.
When she arrived at Xue's house, Baochai gently opened the window screen, only to see that her mother's house was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and she was not allowed to come closer.
Baochai suddenly burst into tears, and the mother-in-law didn't dare to drive past, so she had to stop far away.
But at the door, Aunt Xue, Xia Jingui, the maidservant and servants were all driven out, all unkempt and trembling, with officers and soldiers watching. Afterwards, many boxes and cages were sealed and carried out, and sent to carts to be taken away.
Baochai murmured to herself, "Could it be that mother and elder brother are so miserable?"
At this time, Xia Jingui yelled at Aunt Xue: "I am a good girl who married into your family with a dowry of tens of millions of wealth. She didn't enjoy any blessings. She will accompany you to jail instead. You are safe!" What kind of heart? Could it be that he knew about today and dragged me into the pit of fire? Thanks to the four big families of Jinling!"
Aunt Xue was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head up, and she was worried about Xue Pan in her heart. She covered her face and cried, "Pan'er has never been very sensible, so what is Pan'er's fault now? He was sent to prison? We didn't do anything." What's going on, what's wrong with it?"
Baochai vaguely heard a few words, and felt sad.
She didn't know what happened to her natal family, but thinking about what her mother-in-law said, with her ingenuity, she almost guessed seven or eight points. He took the risk and shoddy it as a good one, but now that Zhou Yuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Households, he has always been rigorous, so if he finds out, he will have today's disaster.
Thinking of this, Baochai suddenly thought of Daiyu, and hurriedly left the two women to watch, while he took someone to visit Daiyu at Zhou's house.
The Zhou family is thriving, and it is very lively on weekdays. Mrs. Zhou is restless because she thinks that her second son is the last day of the exam, and has no intention of entertaining guests. In the past few days, every post has been declined several times, except for Zhao Yun and his wife who know Zhou Yanzhong. After becoming a scholar, the Zhou family never publicized it, and outsiders didn't know about it. They were very considerate when Mrs. Zhou felt uncomfortable.
Daiyu was talking with Mrs. Zhou at home today, and she was counting the days when Zhou Yan would return from the exam, but Zhao Yanran came to invite her, and Mrs. Zhou ordered her to go there. She heard that Xue Baochai came to pay homage to Daiyu. Mrs. Zhou asked, "I don't know whats the matter."
Hong Xing thought for a while, and said: "I just heard that Xue's house was raided, maybe it's because of this?"
People in their family have always been inquiring about the news from the outside, and if there is any trouble, they will report to the inside. Hong Xing follows Mrs. Zhou and takes care of everything, so she naturally knows the purpose of Baochai's visit.
Mrs. Zhou only cared about her second son, and never heard anything about it. After hearing this, she was surprised and said: "The Xue family ransacked the house? What is the reason?"
Hong Xing said with a smile: "I heard that Xue's family took over the job of the household department, and they were still in charge of the purchase of civil engineering, bricks and tiles. I didn't want them to pass it off as a good one. Halfway through the construction, it collapsed. It hurt a few people. Yan was furious, so he ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to seize many businesses of Xue's family, confiscated his family, and threw Xue Pan into prison."
Mrs. Zhou heard this and said, "Are you here to beg Hong's daughter-in-law?"
Hong Xing said: "I don't have much contact with each other. Whenever I have something, I ask for help. What is it like to be a grandma? Grandma and their family are neither related nor related. Even if they have contacts, it is because of Jia's family. Luckily, they dare to come and speak." .”
Mrs. Zhou pondered for a long time and said, "Please come in."
Hong Xing frowned, and said, "Madam wants to see Second Grandma Bao in person?"
Mrs. Zhou said: "If I don't see you, it will make people feel that Hong's daughter-in-law is deliberately avoiding her, and she looks unfeeling. I saw her, which means that Hong's daughter-in-law is not at home today. Depending on what happens to them in the future, it cannot be said that Hong's daughter-in-law is wrong. "
Hong Xing ordered the little girl to come in, and said: "Grandma respects wife, wife loves grandma too."
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Hi, daughter-in-law Hong, I naturally love her. In the past, some people said that she has a noble personality and a clean mind, but now I see that she is really considerate. I have never bothered me in their room. You can guess easily, and you don't know how to play tricks on me, and you love Yan'er, Lian'er, Yan'er, you are not a stingy person."
If she hadn't thought that Zhou Hong would go to Xihai next year and Daiyu would accompany her, she would hand over the family affairs to Daiyu to take care of her.
During the conversation, Baochai had been invited in. He heard this just outside the door. He heard that Mrs. Zhou was very satisfied with Daiyu, and that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no suspicions. Baochai seemed to have knocked over the bottle of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea Son, all tastes.Daiyu is now married, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, she is a first-class wife at a young age, and she has no concubines or concubines who are an eyesore, compared to her, she is far and away the difference.
It is said that gold and jade are a good match, and precious jade has a great fortune, but I don't know where the fortune is.
After Baochai thought about it, the servant girl had already drawn up the curtains. She went in to greet Mrs. Zhou first.
It was not the first time Mrs. Zhou had seen Baochai, seeing that although her natal family had an accident, she was still in danger, she couldn't help but admire her a little bit. If such a child was born in a great family, it would be great. She asked someone to set up a seat with a smile, and said straight to the point: "You Today is an unfortunate day, Hong's daughter-in-law was invited by the Crown Prince of Zhongshun early in the morning, and she has not returned yet."
As soon as Baochai sat down, she was startled when she heard Mrs. Zhou's words.
Mrs. Zhou said: "If you have something urgent, when Hong's daughter-in-law comes back, ask her to send someone to deliver a letter to you."
Baochai forced a smile and said, "I just came to see Sister Lin, nothing important."
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "That's good. I'm afraid I'll miss your big deal. You've been friends for a few years, so you should be more considerate of each other. It's not easy for Hong's daughter-in-law to come to our house." , I won't let her meddle in anything outside."
Baochai understood what she said, and with bitterness in her mouth, she said, "It's Sister Lin's blessing that my wife loves Sister Lin."
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Our family is blessed to have such a daughter-in-law."
After sitting down for a while and saying a few words, Baochai was no match for Mrs. Zhou's scheming, and finally had to return disconcerted.
After Baochai left, Mrs. Zhou told Hong Xing: "When Yu'er comes back, let her come to me. I have to tell her that the old lady has already gone, and she should stay away from her." stop."
Hong Xing smiled and said, "Grandma doesn't know about this? Apart from those few sisters, Grandma didn't do anything for their family on weekdays."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and smiled, and said: "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The girl Xueyan sent someone to give gifts. It's hard for her to think about it. Last time Yan'er was selected as a scholar, she also sent someone to congratulate her. Yesterday, I got a few bottles of incense in the palace. Lu, take out two bottles and send them to her, I heard that she can't eat tea now, just eat this."
Hong Xing agreed, and sure enough, she took out two bottles and sent someone to deliver them to Xue Yan.
Mrs. Mie was talking with Xueyan, and when she heard that Zhou's family was coming, Mishi couldn't help but be surprised, Xueyan hurriedly asked, received the things, and the reward came, please go back and thank her, and said that we will meet again in the future thank you.
Mi Shi glanced at the two glass bottles and said, "What a precious thing, what is this?"
Xueyan ordered Xiaolan to put it away, and said with a smile: "I don't drink tea now, my wife is considerate, so I sent this thing here."
Mi Shi listened and stopped talking.She doesn't dare to think about it now, and even though Xueyan and Zhao Yun haven't paid any money for entertainment in the past two months, they have never been short of board and lodging, and they even provide pen and ink, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Xueyan glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Feng should be back after this exam."
Speaking of her husband, Mi said with a smile: "Yes, today is the last match."
Xueyan had nothing to say to her, because Cui Liu came over to ask about the outside news, "I heard that Xue's family ransacked the house."
Xueyan asked why, and couldn't help sighing.
Although Rongguo Mansion is now Ding You, it will be fine for a while, but looking at the meaning of the above, the Xue family cannot avoid it, and it is the Xue family's own husband who is responsible, and even dares to pass off the things purchased by the household department as good ones.The Ministry of Households purchases are not only for the supply of the palace, but also the money and food for the imperial court's military supplies. If someone does this, it would be strange not to kill them.
Mi Shi was surprised: "Is that Xue family the same as the Jinling Xue family that people often say that pearls are like earth and gold are like iron?"
Xueyan asked: "Have you heard of it?"
Mi Shi nodded and said: "Our uncle used to make friends with people and heard a lot of things. The Xue family is very rich. I heard that they are relatives of the Rongguo Mansion and have great power. How come they were copied?"
Xueyan said: "Since the superiors have raided Xue's house, it is natural that there is something in their house."
Mi Shi couldn't help being frightened, and said: "It's okay, if you say you lose, you lose, it's too sudden."
Xueyan smiled faintly, but said nothing.
Speaking of Baochai not seeing Daiyu, nor getting any news from Zhou's family, she became more and more anxious about the affairs of her natal family, and hurried back to the door of Xue's house by car. After all the transportation was exhausted, the officers and soldiers turned around and sealed the gate, and escorted Aunt Xue Xia Jingui and others away.
Baochai couldn't see Aunt Xue and the others, so she had to go back to the mansion. When she didn't want to go back to the mansion, she saw two more handsome girls in the room.
Seeing the surprised look on Baochai's face, Sheyue came over and said softly: "The two maids that my wife sent Jinhuan to serve the second master are both 16 years old. The one in green is called Ningbi, and the one in red Clothes are called Liuzhu."
When Baochai heard this, she couldn't hide the sadness in her heart, but she said calmly, "Since it was given by my wife, it's a good thing to arrange it."
After speaking, Baochai ordered Yinger to take them down.
Ying'er couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. She had only been with Baoyu for two days, and Mrs. Wang sent these two girls here. ?
Even so, Ying'er had to take Ningbi and Liuzhu with her.
Baoyu was very concerned about the affairs of Xue's family and asked what was going on.
Before Baochai could speak, she saw Jinhuan calling her, so she had to go back to Mrs. Wang first.
After listening to Mrs. Wang, she remained silent, and said for a long time: "I have already sent a letter to your uncle. It's okay if you think about it."
When Baochai heard this, she hurriedly thanked her deeply.
Although Mrs. Wang sent a letter to Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng's momentum is not as good as before, and he was very angry after knowing what Xue Pan had done, so he wrote back and scolded him, saying that he could not deal with it.People in the mansion knew that Xue's family had been raided, Xue Pan was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation, Aunt Xue and Xia Jingui were imprisoned, there were always some gossips, and Baochai's situation became worse and worse.
Baochai went to Prince Teng's mansion again to intercede and came back, weeping secretly in the room.
Baoyu had no choice but to ask Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang scolded: "What are you doing with these things? Do you know that this matter has already involved your uncle and your master, and we can't pay the whole family to go in."
When Baoyu heard this, he was astonished and puzzled.
Jinhuan told the story aside, Baoyu bowed his head and said: "One is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged. How can we stand on the sidelines?"
Mrs. Wang sighed, took Baoyu to sit by her side, and said: "Our family didn't stand by and send people to pay attention to the news. What's more, it's also Baoyu's natal family, so we can't ignore it."
Baoyu felt relieved slightly, and said, "It's not easy for Sister Bao, Madam, please be considerate."
Mrs. Wang was taken aback when she heard the words, but said no more.
Although Baochai was busy with her natal family affairs, she served Mrs. Wang with all her heart. Even when she took care of the housework, she was still impeccable, dignified, and not panicked at all.
The Zhanyan Township Examination is over, even though Wang Ziteng has tried every means to deal with it, but the situation is not as good as before, and he was implicated again, Xue Pan's case was sentenced, and it was said that Xue Pan in Jinling was dead during the trial, I don't know why there is another Xue Pan in the capital today In other words, so the old case was turned over, it was one crime of homicide, two crimes and concurrent punishment, sentenced to be executed by Qiuhou Wen, the family sold it, and the family property was charged to the national treasury.
Hearing the news, Baochai was heartbroken and burst into tears.
Baoyu also cried bitterly, and asked, "how is Aunt Xue?"
Thinking of her mother, Baochai hurriedly said, "That's right, my brother asked me to kill, where are my mother and my sister-in-law?"
The visitor said: "It is said that it will be sold tomorrow together with the servants."
After Baochai heard this, she hurriedly ordered someone to open the box to get her own silver. The next day, she bought Aunt Xue and Xia Jingui, and bought two maids, Tongxi and Tonggui, and placed them in a courtyard where she was dowry. .
The Xue family, whose pearls were like earth and gold like iron, has been annihilated.
Aunt Xue looked at the small courtyard and felt very sad, but in a few days, her hair had turned gray, showing her afterlife, and she pulled Baochai who came to visit her and said, "Why didn't your mother-in-law come?"
Baochai cried, "Our family is like this, and my wife doesn't treat me as well as before. How can I come here now?"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she immediately lost her soul.
After finally regaining her senses, Aunt Xue asked, "Your aunt is so heartless, leaving us alone? What did your uncle say? Maybe you can't save your brother?"
Baochai said in a low voice, "Uncle said that the sage ordered the Ministry of Punishments to deal with him severely, and if he couldn't save him, it might affect his future."
Aunt Xue turned pale with shock and said, "What do you mean?"
Baochai sighed: "It's not that Jiayu village! It's been up and down for the past few years, but it hasn't gone down. It just so happened that this case involved him. He didn't say that he closed the case privately and wanted to curry favor with us, but he said that he got his uncle and uncle. I didn't dare to disobey my orders, so I sentenced my brother's case like that, and now my uncle can't protect himself, if it wasn't for the second master Ding You, I'm afraid he would be involved as well."
Aunt Xue cried: "Hearing you say that, even your uncle can't help it?"
Bringing up the sad matter, Baochai couldn't help sobbing and said: "For this matter, my uncle has already been demoted to a lower level. It is said that my uncle is protecting my brother, and officials and officials are protecting each other. I am too ashamed to ask my uncle again, and because I almost implicated the master , my wife is not as good as before to me."
Aunt Xue couldn't help crying when she heard this.
The mother and daughter cried at each other. Aunt Xue cried out for a moment that her heart hurt. Just a letter of divorce."
Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "What do you want to do with the divorce letter?"
Xia Jingui smiled coldly and said: "The family is like this now, so I will naturally go home with my mother."
After hearing this, Aunt Xue shook her head and refused to give it.
When Xia Jingui saw her, she immediately cursed: "You don't give me a divorce letter, so why don't you want me to be your son's widow? I married into your family and didn't enjoy any blessings. Instead, I folded the dowry into it. What else do you want?" ? Do you want me to die alone in the Mood for Love? No matter how poor our family is, my old mother can afford to support me, and I don’t need your penniless Xue family to support me!"
Aunt Xue was so angry that she cried, and said: "These years, our family can't be sorry, Pan'er is not good, you have to go."
Xia Jingui sneered and said, "How are you going to treat me? I have given you a letter of divorce, so that we can get together and get together. If you don't, I'll go back with my mother anyway. When your son dies, I'll be a widow, or not?" Can remarry."
Baochai listened nearby, and persuaded Aunt Xue, "Give it to my sister-in-law. It's better not to have any grudges at this moment."
Aunt Xue cried: "My poor son, now I can't even keep my daughter-in-law."
Unable to resist Xia Jingui's wishes, she invited Mrs. Xia to come again. Aunt Xue had no choice but to ask Baochai to write a letter of divorce.
After Baochai persuaded her for a while, Yinger came in and urged, "It's been half a day, grandma should go back, Mrs. Xie is annoyed."
Hearing this, Baochai had no choice but to bid farewell to her mother with tears in her eyes. Before leaving, she quietly gave Aunt Xue some money and gave her the deed of the house. cry.
Back in the east courtyard, Mrs. Wang asked, "How is your mother?"
Baochai replied, "It has been settled properly."
Mrs. Wang sighed: "It's done, you should go out less, now there are many things outside, don't make trouble."
Baochai bowed her head and agreed.
Xue Biao and Bao Qin must not stand idly by because of an accident in Xue's family.
Because Baochai is married, she can't come here often, so she can only secretly send someone to take care of her.
The news about the Xue family cannot be hidden from anyone, but it has been known throughout the city in a few days.
After the lady of Zhen's family found out, she cheered secretly. Although the Xue family had never beaten and scolded Yinglian, if it wasn't for Xue Pan, Yinglian would follow Feng Yuan. , much better than following Xue Pan.Therefore, the lady of the Zhen family did not tell Yinglian about this matter, she is now at peace with Jin Wang and his wife, and the lady of the Zhen family does not want her to think about the past for the Xue family.
But Sister Feng was angry in her heart. At this time, because her father was demoted, she hated Xue's family secretly, so she couldn't help complaining to Jia Lian: "Jia Yucun is really a bastard who can't be killed. When did our family treat him badly? Said, for my father to be demoted for this, he really shouldn't be meddling in the Xue family's affairs."
After hearing this, Jia Lian said, "I can't tell you about Jia Yucun. I'm just too fond of him. If I treat my father-in-law and the second master like this at this moment, I might say it's my fault tomorrow."
Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Then you talk to the master and let the master stay away. I haven't forgotten about that stone idiot last time."
Jia Lian frowned, nodded and said, "I'm afraid it won't work if I say it."
Sister Feng sighed: "I have to talk about it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."
Jia Lian nodded and went.
Sister Feng called Wang's daughter-in-law and asked, "Have all our old accounts been burned?"
Sister Feng has learned to be good, and she is eager to make up for her past actions.
Wang's daughter-in-law whispered: "I personally watched the burning, and those loan shark books were turned into ashes."
Ping'er and Feng'er nodded at the side, they all watched in person.
Sister Feng said: "It's very good, but we can't let it out. I'm afraid that the matter of taking over the lawsuit in the past will be unjustified for a while, and we should first smooth out the matter of letting go."
Wang'er's daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "Wang'er has been called to take care of it outside, so grandma won't be involved."
After hearing this, Sister Feng felt relieved.
The next day, Sister Feng went to see Daiyu, and talking about this matter, she said: "The family is not as good as the next year. I am flustered, and I regret what happened in the past. I am afraid that my children will be retribution, and my sister will take care of me. I have an idea, what should I do?"
Daiyu smiled when she heard this, and said, "Why did sister-in-law remember to ask me?"
Sister Feng sighed: "I only believe in my sister's words, I don't believe in others. I don't know how much I can support when I look at my family's food, but my father has been demoted again, and I don't know how Mrs. Ming'er thinks of me. I did a lot of crimes in the past, and I didn't believe in retribution from the underworld, but my sons and daughters were really worried, so I came to ask my sister to show me a clear way."
Daiyu said, "Why do you think so?"
Sister Feng smiled wryly and said: "My younger sister also knows that I used to be bad to the master and wife, but now because of Brother Kui, the master and wife treat me better, and it may not be because of my father. Look at Bao girl, in the past The wife is so close to her and the Xue family aunt, now that the Xue family has failed, the wife treats her not as good as before, Bao girl is like this, let alone me? I am usually harsh and mean, and I often beat and scold and punish the servants. "
Daiyu asked, "Second sister-in-law Bao is not well now?"
Sister Feng said: "How can it be good? The Xue family has fallen like this. The aunt of the Xue family relies on her to support her. The wife doesn't say anything, but because she and the aunt of the Xue family are sisters, if they don't care, it will be hard for them to face it. But looking at Bao girl Taking the ladder to support Aunt Xue's family, her dowry is not as good as that of sister Qin, and the wife is getting more and more dissatisfied now, and the girl alone gave Baoyu two to put in the house."
Daiyu was taken aback, and said: "The wife despises such a pleasing daughter-in-law? She's in charge of the affairs of their room."
Sister Feng laughed and said, "Sister, will all the mother-in-laws in the world be as good as Mrs. Zhou?"
Thinking of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, Daiyu sighed: "Sister Bao, who is as capable, is like this. It's really true that things are impermanent. It's a pity that Sister Bao's heart is not as good as ordinary men."
Sister Feng said: "Sister, don't lament what others are like, and give me an idea first."
Daiyu thought for a while, then said: "As far as I'm concerned, what's going on in front of me and what happened in the past can't be evened out, so it's better to plan for your children and grandchildren."
After hearing this, Sister Feng asked how to stay.
Daiyu said: "As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. No one can know what is right and wrong in the future. Even our family, didn't something big happen in the past? There is no need to confiscate the land for sacrifices. Even if something happens in the future, Children and grandchildren also have a place to live, why don't you go back and buy more sacrifice fields, anyway, these will belong to Brother Kui in the future, he is the eldest son and grandson, so are you afraid that others will take it away?"
After listening to Daiyu's words, Sister Feng suddenly remembered what Qin Keqing said in her dream when she died.
Seeing her in a daze, Daiyu smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? If you don't think it's right, you won't listen."
Sister Feng came back to her senses and said: "I just remembered that someone told me this way in the past, but I didn't take it to heart."
Daiyu wondered: "Anyone has such insight? Who is it? Why didn't you listen?"
Sister Feng told about Qin Keqing's dream.
After hearing this, Daiyu nodded and said, "These words really make sense. They are really good words. Why don't you listen to them?"
Sister Feng said: "I used to think that our family is so rich, what are you afraid of? Now I have to think more, since even my sister said so, I will definitely buy more sacrifice fields when I go back."
After going back, Sister Feng really discussed with Jia Lian, took out all the ladders, and set up a sacrifice field, but she didn't mention it later.
Daiyu sent Sister Feng away and sighed when she came back. She hoped that Sister Feng's plan today would benefit her descendants.
Zijuan came over and said, "Grandma regrets it now."
Daiyu sighed: "It's too late to regret it. What happened in the past hurt people's lives, how can they be easily obliterated? But since sister-in-law repents, it's a good thing not to do these things in the future."
Zijuan agreed: "I heard from Xiaohong that Grandma has become much softer than before in recent years, and she hasn't done anything anymore."
Daiyu asked, "How are Xiaohong and the others?"
Zijuan said: "I went back to my mother's house a few days ago. When I met her mother, she said that Xiaohong is happy now, so she doesn't go out."
Daiyu was very happy when she heard this, and said: "Xiao Hong has had a good life, I only have you and Ting Lan by my side, after taking care of your affairs, let's talk about Ting Lan. Right now, you can take care of me. I will teach a few little girls, you will leave tomorrow, and there is only one mandarin duck by my side, how can I handle it!"
Zijuan blushed and said, "Grandma, don't worry, the little girl below has been cultivated and educated for several years, and she is all good."
Daiyu smiled, thinking about when to set a good date with Steward Wang, suddenly saw a servant coming over with a basket of pomegranates, and said: "This year's pomegranates are good, and the meaning is good. Pomegranates have many children. Mandarin ducks, let me go." The mother-in-law is going to send some to the snow geese, and choose some good ones."
Yuanyang agreed, and sure enough, she picked two plates of excellent pomegranates and sent them to Mother Song.
When Xueyan saw it, she said, "I knew grandma was in a hurry. It was a coincidence that I said this year's watermelons are also good. The family sent a lot of them. I have picked twelve huge watermelons. You can take them back on the way. I will There is no need to send someone to send it."
Mother Song accepted the reward and said yes with a smile.
After finishing his work, Zhao Yun came back from the outside and said, "Teacher will return to Beijing in two days, let's prepare things first, so we can go and see you."
Xueyan wondered: "Mr. Ning has returned to Beijing? Where is Mrs. Ning?"
Zhao Yundao: "I haven't arrived yet, I just sent someone to report that I will be back in two days. My teacher's mother has not returned from visiting relatives, so I don't know the itinerary."
Xueyan silently kept it in her heart, and said: "Since Mr. Ning is coming back, you should go to Mr. Ning's house first. Mr. Ning has not been in Beijing for many years, and there is no master in the house, only a servant who looks after the house. What is missing at home? You ask, come back and tell me, let's send some over there, we must prepare everything for food and clothing, we can't let Mr. Ning come back, we don't have anything at home."
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already been there and asked someone to draw up a list, and I'll tell you to prepare some when I come back."
Said, handed the list to Xueyan.
Xueyan took a closer look, called Xiaolan, and said, "Go out and tell Mother Li to prepare according to the items on the list, and then bring out two bolts of satin. Mr. Ning is getting old, so you don't need very bright colors. You Put down what you are doing with Cui Liu, and rush out two sets of clothes, shoes and socks, and send them over tomorrow."
Then, he asked Zhao Yun about Mr. Ning's body size.
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "I didn't pay attention, but the teacher is a little thinner than me."
Xiaolan remembered it and went out with the list.
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Mistress, please worry about it."
Xueyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "One day is a teacher and life is a father. Mr. Ning is your teacher and naturally my elder. We are just doing our due filial piety. Why bother? I'm tired of sitting, you Help me walk."
Zhao Yun hurriedly supported her, and said: "It's still hot outside, let's go for a walk inside, don't go out."
Xueyan nodded and said, "Mr. Ning has been outside for many years, why did he suddenly return to Beijing?"
Zhao Yundao: "It was not mentioned in the letter. I will tell you after the teacher comes back."
Xueyan smiled, and when talking about the court affairs, because the affairs of the Xue family were handled neatly and neatly, she also knew that eight or nine were inseparable, and said to him: "Who would have thought that they would get their retribution at this time."
Zhao Yun said indifferently: "It's just what I did."
Speaking of the matter involving the Xue family involving Wang Ziteng, Xue Yan frowned slightly, and said: "That Jia Yucun is actually very ungrateful. He used to treat Yinglian, and now he treats the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family like this. When he blamed others, Why don't you think about how he got up in the first place, and how he was promoted step by step by relying on the Jia family and the Wang family."
Zhao Yun helped her walk around the house a few times, sat down to rest, and said, "They say reincarnation in heaven, just wait and see, there will always be retribution."
Xueyan nodded, she had never had any contact with the Xue family, and there was no need to visit her.
Zhao Yun asked, "How is brother Feng?"
Xueyan said: "The doctor has been invited to come and see him, he said he is tired, just rest and recuperate for a few days."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "I've told you that when you're studying at home, even if you don't need him to work in the field, you still have to practice boxing and kicking. It's just one session every three days. I couldn't bear it anymore. When I came out, I was seriously ill. Even if it’s August right now, when the spring comes next year, it’s going to be cold in the spring, won’t you be half frozen to death?”
Xueyan smiled and said, "Do you think everyone is as good at both civil and military as you? How many scholars look down on martial arts."
Because of this, Zhao Feng did not want to learn from him.
Zhao Yundao: "You and I have done our best, I really can't control anything else, just let them go."
Xueyan smiled and said, "I don't know how Brother Feng did in the exam."
Zhao Yun didn't say a word, based on what he saw when he taught Zhao Feng in the past two months, he might not be able to go to high school before he is ready.
Xueyan naturally heard him talk about it, so she stopped talking.
At this time, the stomach suddenly squirmed, Xueyan was both surprised and happy, and said: "It moved again, he moved again."
Zhao Yun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and said: "Our son is very strong, so he is smarter."
Xueyan heard this, and said angrily: "How do you know it's a son? Maybe it's a smart and beautiful girl!"
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "You will give birth in two or three months. At this time, you will be able to produce a man and a woman."
Xue Yan heard what he said, although in her heart both men and women are children, but having a son at this time can avoid worries, so she is also happy.
Zhao Yun took her pulse again carefully, helped her lie on the couch, covered her with a gauze quilt, and said, "You should rest for a while, don't worry about other things."
Xueyan said: "I can't sleep, play the piano for me."
Zhao Yun Yu Six Arts
Mrs. Wang glanced at Baochai and asked the same question.
The mother-in-law who came to report the letter said: "I heard that it was a fake, and almost missed the important event of the superior. Long Yan was furious, so he ordered the household department to search."
Mrs. Wang heard this, and said: "The Xue family has been searched, how about Mr. Xue and Mrs. Xue?"
The woman said: "When I came here, I was still raiding the house. Uncle Xue has already been arrested and sent to the prison. Only my concubine and grandma are left at home. I don't know what to do now."
Mrs. Wang looked at Baochai hurriedly and said, "Go back and find out what's going on, and ask to understand."
Baochai said yes, and hurried back to her room, ordering people to prepare chariots and horses to go out.
Looking at Baochai's back, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt a bit of regret in her heart. She knew that Xue's family ended up like this, and Baochai's dowry was not as good as Baoqin.Except that Baochai can persuade Baoyu to make progress and is of one mind with herself, the rest have not helped Baoyu, and are even more harmful to the future.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang sighed, no matter what, Baochai suits her best.
Seeing Mrs. Wang's expression, Jin Huan knew it, and hurried forward to persuade him: "Madam, don't worry, we still have uncle at home, send a letter to uncle, please take care of it, it's okay to come to my wife's house if you want to."
Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "I don't know what trouble Pan'er caused."
After finishing speaking, he said: "Bring a pen and ink. I will write a letter and send it to my uncle. Girl Bao is so worried about her mother and brother that she has forgotten such an important matter. Girl Bao has already entered our house. No matter what, we can't Let something happen to the Xue family."
Jin Huan hurriedly fetched the pen and ink, Madam Wang took it with a wave, sealed it, and called her mother-in-law to send it to Wang's house.
After the people left, Mrs. Wang said to Jin Huan: "Last time I said that the two girls, Ningbi and Liuzhu, are good. Although their appearance is a little bit worse than that of Qingwenfang who was sent out before, their demeanor is more stable. , People are also honest, they are not people who mess around, you will take them there in a while, and let Baoyu stay in the room to order."
Jin Huan agreed, and said: "Understood, what orders does Madam have?"
Mrs. Wang said: "No, go and call Baoyu first, and when Bao girl comes back, let her come and talk to me."
But when Baochai came into the house, Baoyu was reading under the window. Since they got married, he had nothing to do. Although Baochai tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen at all. It was quite different, and he asked unconsciously, "Sister, what's wrong? What happened?"
Baochai was full of anxiety, and when she heard Baoyu's soft voice, she shed tears immediately, and then wiped away her tears and said, "something happened at home, I'll go back and see my mother and sister-in-law, but I don't know how mother and sister-in-law are now."
Baoyu asked, "But the elder brother's case has come out?"
Although Baoyu doesn't care about things, he knows Xue Pan's nature, and this is the only way to make Xue Pan's family panic.
Baochai was startled, shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's not because of this, but because of an errand. I said that I didn't do the errand that my superiors told me. Now I'm afraid that my brother will go to jail and the previous case will be uncovered. By then Fang is worse."
Baoyu listened to her words, pondered for a while, and said, "If it's anything else, it's fine. If it's really a life lawsuit, what should my sister do?"
Baochai's eyes turned red, and she said, "I don't know what to do either."
Seeing the worry on her face, Baoyu was not as confident as before, but became more popular, and said, "I'll take my sister there, let's see what's going on, and then send a letter to Liu Xianglian, asking him for help. "
Baochai remembered that Liu Xianglian was Baoqin's husband and Xue Panzhi's righteous brother, and he felt a little relieved. Hearing Baoyu's words, he hurriedly said, "Come on, I know your kindness. Didn’t leave, you went there, didn’t you bump into you? At that time, how can I explain to my wife? You are reading a book at home, I will go by myself. "
Without saying a word, Mrs. Wang sent Jinhuan to call Baoyu.
Baoyu couldn't help being in a dilemma. He wanted to accompany Baochai back to her mother's house and comfort her on the way, but he didn't dare to disobey Mrs. Wang's wishes.
Baochai said: "I am very comforted that you have this heart, so you don't have to accompany me there."
Baoyu heard this and said, "Then sister, be careful on the road, and bring more servants to follow."
Baochai nodded, and Ying'er suddenly came back and said that the carriages and horses were ready, and secretly glanced at Baoyu. Baochai hurriedly changed her clothes, and took her, Wen Xing, and several young girls and old women in the car.
When she arrived at Xue's house, Baochai gently opened the window screen, only to see that her mother's house was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and she was not allowed to come closer.
Baochai suddenly burst into tears, and the mother-in-law didn't dare to drive past, so she had to stop far away.
But at the door, Aunt Xue, Xia Jingui, the maidservant and servants were all driven out, all unkempt and trembling, with officers and soldiers watching. Afterwards, many boxes and cages were sealed and carried out, and sent to carts to be taken away.
Baochai murmured to herself, "Could it be that mother and elder brother are so miserable?"
At this time, Xia Jingui yelled at Aunt Xue: "I am a good girl who married into your family with a dowry of tens of millions of wealth. She didn't enjoy any blessings. She will accompany you to jail instead. You are safe!" What kind of heart? Could it be that he knew about today and dragged me into the pit of fire? Thanks to the four big families of Jinling!"
Aunt Xue was so scolded that she couldn't lift her head up, and she was worried about Xue Pan in her heart. She covered her face and cried, "Pan'er has never been very sensible, so what is Pan'er's fault now? He was sent to prison? We didn't do anything." What's going on, what's wrong with it?"
Baochai vaguely heard a few words, and felt sad.
She didn't know what happened to her natal family, but thinking about what her mother-in-law said, with her ingenuity, she almost guessed seven or eight points. He took the risk and shoddy it as a good one, but now that Zhou Yuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Households, he has always been rigorous, so if he finds out, he will have today's disaster.
Thinking of this, Baochai suddenly thought of Daiyu, and hurriedly left the two women to watch, while he took someone to visit Daiyu at Zhou's house.
The Zhou family is thriving, and it is very lively on weekdays. Mrs. Zhou is restless because she thinks that her second son is the last day of the exam, and has no intention of entertaining guests. In the past few days, every post has been declined several times, except for Zhao Yun and his wife who know Zhou Yanzhong. After becoming a scholar, the Zhou family never publicized it, and outsiders didn't know about it. They were very considerate when Mrs. Zhou felt uncomfortable.
Daiyu was talking with Mrs. Zhou at home today, and she was counting the days when Zhou Yan would return from the exam, but Zhao Yanran came to invite her, and Mrs. Zhou ordered her to go there. She heard that Xue Baochai came to pay homage to Daiyu. Mrs. Zhou asked, "I don't know whats the matter."
Hong Xing thought for a while, and said: "I just heard that Xue's house was raided, maybe it's because of this?"
People in their family have always been inquiring about the news from the outside, and if there is any trouble, they will report to the inside. Hong Xing follows Mrs. Zhou and takes care of everything, so she naturally knows the purpose of Baochai's visit.
Mrs. Zhou only cared about her second son, and never heard anything about it. After hearing this, she was surprised and said: "The Xue family ransacked the house? What is the reason?"
Hong Xing said with a smile: "I heard that Xue's family took over the job of the household department, and they were still in charge of the purchase of civil engineering, bricks and tiles. I didn't want them to pass it off as a good one. Halfway through the construction, it collapsed. It hurt a few people. Yan was furious, so he ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to seize many businesses of Xue's family, confiscated his family, and threw Xue Pan into prison."
Mrs. Zhou heard this and said, "Are you here to beg Hong's daughter-in-law?"
Hong Xing said: "I don't have much contact with each other. Whenever I have something, I ask for help. What is it like to be a grandma? Grandma and their family are neither related nor related. Even if they have contacts, it is because of Jia's family. Luckily, they dare to come and speak." .”
Mrs. Zhou pondered for a long time and said, "Please come in."
Hong Xing frowned, and said, "Madam wants to see Second Grandma Bao in person?"
Mrs. Zhou said: "If I don't see you, it will make people feel that Hong's daughter-in-law is deliberately avoiding her, and she looks unfeeling. I saw her, which means that Hong's daughter-in-law is not at home today. Depending on what happens to them in the future, it cannot be said that Hong's daughter-in-law is wrong. "
Hong Xing ordered the little girl to come in, and said: "Grandma respects wife, wife loves grandma too."
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Hi, daughter-in-law Hong, I naturally love her. In the past, some people said that she has a noble personality and a clean mind, but now I see that she is really considerate. I have never bothered me in their room. You can guess easily, and you don't know how to play tricks on me, and you love Yan'er, Lian'er, Yan'er, you are not a stingy person."
If she hadn't thought that Zhou Hong would go to Xihai next year and Daiyu would accompany her, she would hand over the family affairs to Daiyu to take care of her.
During the conversation, Baochai had been invited in. He heard this just outside the door. He heard that Mrs. Zhou was very satisfied with Daiyu, and that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no suspicions. Baochai seemed to have knocked over the bottle of oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar tea Son, all tastes.Daiyu is now married, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are harmonious, she is a first-class wife at a young age, and she has no concubines or concubines who are an eyesore, compared to her, she is far and away the difference.
It is said that gold and jade are a good match, and precious jade has a great fortune, but I don't know where the fortune is.
After Baochai thought about it, the servant girl had already drawn up the curtains. She went in to greet Mrs. Zhou first.
It was not the first time Mrs. Zhou had seen Baochai, seeing that although her natal family had an accident, she was still in danger, she couldn't help but admire her a little bit. If such a child was born in a great family, it would be great. She asked someone to set up a seat with a smile, and said straight to the point: "You Today is an unfortunate day, Hong's daughter-in-law was invited by the Crown Prince of Zhongshun early in the morning, and she has not returned yet."
As soon as Baochai sat down, she was startled when she heard Mrs. Zhou's words.
Mrs. Zhou said: "If you have something urgent, when Hong's daughter-in-law comes back, ask her to send someone to deliver a letter to you."
Baochai forced a smile and said, "I just came to see Sister Lin, nothing important."
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "That's good. I'm afraid I'll miss your big deal. You've been friends for a few years, so you should be more considerate of each other. It's not easy for Hong's daughter-in-law to come to our house." , I won't let her meddle in anything outside."
Baochai understood what she said, and with bitterness in her mouth, she said, "It's Sister Lin's blessing that my wife loves Sister Lin."
Mrs. Zhou said with a smile: "Our family is blessed to have such a daughter-in-law."
After sitting down for a while and saying a few words, Baochai was no match for Mrs. Zhou's scheming, and finally had to return disconcerted.
After Baochai left, Mrs. Zhou told Hong Xing: "When Yu'er comes back, let her come to me. I have to tell her that the old lady has already gone, and she should stay away from her." stop."
Hong Xing smiled and said, "Grandma doesn't know about this? Apart from those few sisters, Grandma didn't do anything for their family on weekdays."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and smiled, and said: "It will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The girl Xueyan sent someone to give gifts. It's hard for her to think about it. Last time Yan'er was selected as a scholar, she also sent someone to congratulate her. Yesterday, I got a few bottles of incense in the palace. Lu, take out two bottles and send them to her, I heard that she can't eat tea now, just eat this."
Hong Xing agreed, and sure enough, she took out two bottles and sent someone to deliver them to Xue Yan.
Mrs. Mie was talking with Xueyan, and when she heard that Zhou's family was coming, Mishi couldn't help but be surprised, Xueyan hurriedly asked, received the things, and the reward came, please go back and thank her, and said that we will meet again in the future thank you.
Mi Shi glanced at the two glass bottles and said, "What a precious thing, what is this?"
Xueyan ordered Xiaolan to put it away, and said with a smile: "I don't drink tea now, my wife is considerate, so I sent this thing here."
Mi Shi listened and stopped talking.She doesn't dare to think about it now, and even though Xueyan and Zhao Yun haven't paid any money for entertainment in the past two months, they have never been short of board and lodging, and they even provide pen and ink, so there is nothing wrong with it.
Xueyan glanced at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Feng should be back after this exam."
Speaking of her husband, Mi said with a smile: "Yes, today is the last match."
Xueyan had nothing to say to her, because Cui Liu came over to ask about the outside news, "I heard that Xue's family ransacked the house."
Xueyan asked why, and couldn't help sighing.
Although Rongguo Mansion is now Ding You, it will be fine for a while, but looking at the meaning of the above, the Xue family cannot avoid it, and it is the Xue family's own husband who is responsible, and even dares to pass off the things purchased by the household department as good ones.The Ministry of Households purchases are not only for the supply of the palace, but also the money and food for the imperial court's military supplies. If someone does this, it would be strange not to kill them.
Mi Shi was surprised: "Is that Xue family the same as the Jinling Xue family that people often say that pearls are like earth and gold are like iron?"
Xueyan asked: "Have you heard of it?"
Mi Shi nodded and said: "Our uncle used to make friends with people and heard a lot of things. The Xue family is very rich. I heard that they are relatives of the Rongguo Mansion and have great power. How come they were copied?"
Xueyan said: "Since the superiors have raided Xue's house, it is natural that there is something in their house."
Mi Shi couldn't help being frightened, and said: "It's okay, if you say you lose, you lose, it's too sudden."
Xueyan smiled faintly, but said nothing.
Speaking of Baochai not seeing Daiyu, nor getting any news from Zhou's family, she became more and more anxious about the affairs of her natal family, and hurried back to the door of Xue's house by car. After all the transportation was exhausted, the officers and soldiers turned around and sealed the gate, and escorted Aunt Xue Xia Jingui and others away.
Baochai couldn't see Aunt Xue and the others, so she had to go back to the mansion. When she didn't want to go back to the mansion, she saw two more handsome girls in the room.
Seeing the surprised look on Baochai's face, Sheyue came over and said softly: "The two maids that my wife sent Jinhuan to serve the second master are both 16 years old. The one in green is called Ningbi, and the one in red Clothes are called Liuzhu."
When Baochai heard this, she couldn't hide the sadness in her heart, but she said calmly, "Since it was given by my wife, it's a good thing to arrange it."
After speaking, Baochai ordered Yinger to take them down.
Ying'er couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. She had only been with Baoyu for two days, and Mrs. Wang sent these two girls here. ?
Even so, Ying'er had to take Ningbi and Liuzhu with her.
Baoyu was very concerned about the affairs of Xue's family and asked what was going on.
Before Baochai could speak, she saw Jinhuan calling her, so she had to go back to Mrs. Wang first.
After listening to Mrs. Wang, she remained silent, and said for a long time: "I have already sent a letter to your uncle. It's okay if you think about it."
When Baochai heard this, she hurriedly thanked her deeply.
Although Mrs. Wang sent a letter to Wang Ziteng, Wang Ziteng's momentum is not as good as before, and he was very angry after knowing what Xue Pan had done, so he wrote back and scolded him, saying that he could not deal with it.People in the mansion knew that Xue's family had been raided, Xue Pan was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation, Aunt Xue and Xia Jingui were imprisoned, there were always some gossips, and Baochai's situation became worse and worse.
Baochai went to Prince Teng's mansion again to intercede and came back, weeping secretly in the room.
Baoyu had no choice but to ask Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang scolded: "What are you doing with these things? Do you know that this matter has already involved your uncle and your master, and we can't pay the whole family to go in."
When Baoyu heard this, he was astonished and puzzled.
Jinhuan told the story aside, Baoyu bowed his head and said: "One is prosperous and the other is prosperous, and the other is damaged. How can we stand on the sidelines?"
Mrs. Wang sighed, took Baoyu to sit by her side, and said: "Our family didn't stand by and send people to pay attention to the news. What's more, it's also Baoyu's natal family, so we can't ignore it."
Baoyu felt relieved slightly, and said, "It's not easy for Sister Bao, Madam, please be considerate."
Mrs. Wang was taken aback when she heard the words, but said no more.
Although Baochai was busy with her natal family affairs, she served Mrs. Wang with all her heart. Even when she took care of the housework, she was still impeccable, dignified, and not panicked at all.
The Zhanyan Township Examination is over, even though Wang Ziteng has tried every means to deal with it, but the situation is not as good as before, and he was implicated again, Xue Pan's case was sentenced, and it was said that Xue Pan in Jinling was dead during the trial, I don't know why there is another Xue Pan in the capital today In other words, so the old case was turned over, it was one crime of homicide, two crimes and concurrent punishment, sentenced to be executed by Qiuhou Wen, the family sold it, and the family property was charged to the national treasury.
Hearing the news, Baochai was heartbroken and burst into tears.
Baoyu also cried bitterly, and asked, "how is Aunt Xue?"
Thinking of her mother, Baochai hurriedly said, "That's right, my brother asked me to kill, where are my mother and my sister-in-law?"
The visitor said: "It is said that it will be sold tomorrow together with the servants."
After Baochai heard this, she hurriedly ordered someone to open the box to get her own silver. The next day, she bought Aunt Xue and Xia Jingui, and bought two maids, Tongxi and Tonggui, and placed them in a courtyard where she was dowry. .
The Xue family, whose pearls were like earth and gold like iron, has been annihilated.
Aunt Xue looked at the small courtyard and felt very sad, but in a few days, her hair had turned gray, showing her afterlife, and she pulled Baochai who came to visit her and said, "Why didn't your mother-in-law come?"
Baochai cried, "Our family is like this, and my wife doesn't treat me as well as before. How can I come here now?"
When Aunt Xue heard this, she immediately lost her soul.
After finally regaining her senses, Aunt Xue asked, "Your aunt is so heartless, leaving us alone? What did your uncle say? Maybe you can't save your brother?"
Baochai said in a low voice, "Uncle said that the sage ordered the Ministry of Punishments to deal with him severely, and if he couldn't save him, it might affect his future."
Aunt Xue turned pale with shock and said, "What do you mean?"
Baochai sighed: "It's not that Jiayu village! It's been up and down for the past few years, but it hasn't gone down. It just so happened that this case involved him. He didn't say that he closed the case privately and wanted to curry favor with us, but he said that he got his uncle and uncle. I didn't dare to disobey my orders, so I sentenced my brother's case like that, and now my uncle can't protect himself, if it wasn't for the second master Ding You, I'm afraid he would be involved as well."
Aunt Xue cried: "Hearing you say that, even your uncle can't help it?"
Bringing up the sad matter, Baochai couldn't help sobbing and said: "For this matter, my uncle has already been demoted to a lower level. It is said that my uncle is protecting my brother, and officials and officials are protecting each other. I am too ashamed to ask my uncle again, and because I almost implicated the master , my wife is not as good as before to me."
Aunt Xue couldn't help crying when she heard this.
The mother and daughter cried at each other. Aunt Xue cried out for a moment that her heart hurt. Just a letter of divorce."
Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "What do you want to do with the divorce letter?"
Xia Jingui smiled coldly and said: "The family is like this now, so I will naturally go home with my mother."
After hearing this, Aunt Xue shook her head and refused to give it.
When Xia Jingui saw her, she immediately cursed: "You don't give me a divorce letter, so why don't you want me to be your son's widow? I married into your family and didn't enjoy any blessings. Instead, I folded the dowry into it. What else do you want?" ? Do you want me to die alone in the Mood for Love? No matter how poor our family is, my old mother can afford to support me, and I don’t need your penniless Xue family to support me!"
Aunt Xue was so angry that she cried, and said: "These years, our family can't be sorry, Pan'er is not good, you have to go."
Xia Jingui sneered and said, "How are you going to treat me? I have given you a letter of divorce, so that we can get together and get together. If you don't, I'll go back with my mother anyway. When your son dies, I'll be a widow, or not?" Can remarry."
Baochai listened nearby, and persuaded Aunt Xue, "Give it to my sister-in-law. It's better not to have any grudges at this moment."
Aunt Xue cried: "My poor son, now I can't even keep my daughter-in-law."
Unable to resist Xia Jingui's wishes, she invited Mrs. Xia to come again. Aunt Xue had no choice but to ask Baochai to write a letter of divorce.
After Baochai persuaded her for a while, Yinger came in and urged, "It's been half a day, grandma should go back, Mrs. Xie is annoyed."
Hearing this, Baochai had no choice but to bid farewell to her mother with tears in her eyes. Before leaving, she quietly gave Aunt Xue some money and gave her the deed of the house. cry.
Back in the east courtyard, Mrs. Wang asked, "How is your mother?"
Baochai replied, "It has been settled properly."
Mrs. Wang sighed: "It's done, you should go out less, now there are many things outside, don't make trouble."
Baochai bowed her head and agreed.
Xue Biao and Bao Qin must not stand idly by because of an accident in Xue's family.
Because Baochai is married, she can't come here often, so she can only secretly send someone to take care of her.
The news about the Xue family cannot be hidden from anyone, but it has been known throughout the city in a few days.
After the lady of Zhen's family found out, she cheered secretly. Although the Xue family had never beaten and scolded Yinglian, if it wasn't for Xue Pan, Yinglian would follow Feng Yuan. , much better than following Xue Pan.Therefore, the lady of the Zhen family did not tell Yinglian about this matter, she is now at peace with Jin Wang and his wife, and the lady of the Zhen family does not want her to think about the past for the Xue family.
But Sister Feng was angry in her heart. At this time, because her father was demoted, she hated Xue's family secretly, so she couldn't help complaining to Jia Lian: "Jia Yucun is really a bastard who can't be killed. When did our family treat him badly? Said, for my father to be demoted for this, he really shouldn't be meddling in the Xue family's affairs."
After hearing this, Jia Lian said, "I can't tell you about Jia Yucun. I'm just too fond of him. If I treat my father-in-law and the second master like this at this moment, I might say it's my fault tomorrow."
Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Then you talk to the master and let the master stay away. I haven't forgotten about that stone idiot last time."
Jia Lian frowned, nodded and said, "I'm afraid it won't work if I say it."
Sister Feng sighed: "I have to talk about it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it."
Jia Lian nodded and went.
Sister Feng called Wang's daughter-in-law and asked, "Have all our old accounts been burned?"
Sister Feng has learned to be good, and she is eager to make up for her past actions.
Wang's daughter-in-law whispered: "I personally watched the burning, and those loan shark books were turned into ashes."
Ping'er and Feng'er nodded at the side, they all watched in person.
Sister Feng said: "It's very good, but we can't let it out. I'm afraid that the matter of taking over the lawsuit in the past will be unjustified for a while, and we should first smooth out the matter of letting go."
Wang'er's daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "Wang'er has been called to take care of it outside, so grandma won't be involved."
After hearing this, Sister Feng felt relieved.
The next day, Sister Feng went to see Daiyu, and talking about this matter, she said: "The family is not as good as the next year. I am flustered, and I regret what happened in the past. I am afraid that my children will be retribution, and my sister will take care of me. I have an idea, what should I do?"
Daiyu smiled when she heard this, and said, "Why did sister-in-law remember to ask me?"
Sister Feng sighed: "I only believe in my sister's words, I don't believe in others. I don't know how much I can support when I look at my family's food, but my father has been demoted again, and I don't know how Mrs. Ming'er thinks of me. I did a lot of crimes in the past, and I didn't believe in retribution from the underworld, but my sons and daughters were really worried, so I came to ask my sister to show me a clear way."
Daiyu said, "Why do you think so?"
Sister Feng smiled wryly and said: "My younger sister also knows that I used to be bad to the master and wife, but now because of Brother Kui, the master and wife treat me better, and it may not be because of my father. Look at Bao girl, in the past The wife is so close to her and the Xue family aunt, now that the Xue family has failed, the wife treats her not as good as before, Bao girl is like this, let alone me? I am usually harsh and mean, and I often beat and scold and punish the servants. "
Daiyu asked, "Second sister-in-law Bao is not well now?"
Sister Feng said: "How can it be good? The Xue family has fallen like this. The aunt of the Xue family relies on her to support her. The wife doesn't say anything, but because she and the aunt of the Xue family are sisters, if they don't care, it will be hard for them to face it. But looking at Bao girl Taking the ladder to support Aunt Xue's family, her dowry is not as good as that of sister Qin, and the wife is getting more and more dissatisfied now, and the girl alone gave Baoyu two to put in the house."
Daiyu was taken aback, and said: "The wife despises such a pleasing daughter-in-law? She's in charge of the affairs of their room."
Sister Feng laughed and said, "Sister, will all the mother-in-laws in the world be as good as Mrs. Zhou?"
Thinking of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing, Daiyu sighed: "Sister Bao, who is as capable, is like this. It's really true that things are impermanent. It's a pity that Sister Bao's heart is not as good as ordinary men."
Sister Feng said: "Sister, don't lament what others are like, and give me an idea first."
Daiyu thought for a while, then said: "As far as I'm concerned, what's going on in front of me and what happened in the past can't be evened out, so it's better to plan for your children and grandchildren."
After hearing this, Sister Feng asked how to stay.
Daiyu said: "As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. No one can know what is right and wrong in the future. Even our family, didn't something big happen in the past? There is no need to confiscate the land for sacrifices. Even if something happens in the future, Children and grandchildren also have a place to live, why don't you go back and buy more sacrifice fields, anyway, these will belong to Brother Kui in the future, he is the eldest son and grandson, so are you afraid that others will take it away?"
After listening to Daiyu's words, Sister Feng suddenly remembered what Qin Keqing said in her dream when she died.
Seeing her in a daze, Daiyu smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? If you don't think it's right, you won't listen."
Sister Feng came back to her senses and said: "I just remembered that someone told me this way in the past, but I didn't take it to heart."
Daiyu wondered: "Anyone has such insight? Who is it? Why didn't you listen?"
Sister Feng told about Qin Keqing's dream.
After hearing this, Daiyu nodded and said, "These words really make sense. They are really good words. Why don't you listen to them?"
Sister Feng said: "I used to think that our family is so rich, what are you afraid of? Now I have to think more, since even my sister said so, I will definitely buy more sacrifice fields when I go back."
After going back, Sister Feng really discussed with Jia Lian, took out all the ladders, and set up a sacrifice field, but she didn't mention it later.
Daiyu sent Sister Feng away and sighed when she came back. She hoped that Sister Feng's plan today would benefit her descendants.
Zijuan came over and said, "Grandma regrets it now."
Daiyu sighed: "It's too late to regret it. What happened in the past hurt people's lives, how can they be easily obliterated? But since sister-in-law repents, it's a good thing not to do these things in the future."
Zijuan agreed: "I heard from Xiaohong that Grandma has become much softer than before in recent years, and she hasn't done anything anymore."
Daiyu asked, "How are Xiaohong and the others?"
Zijuan said: "I went back to my mother's house a few days ago. When I met her mother, she said that Xiaohong is happy now, so she doesn't go out."
Daiyu was very happy when she heard this, and said: "Xiao Hong has had a good life, I only have you and Ting Lan by my side, after taking care of your affairs, let's talk about Ting Lan. Right now, you can take care of me. I will teach a few little girls, you will leave tomorrow, and there is only one mandarin duck by my side, how can I handle it!"
Zijuan blushed and said, "Grandma, don't worry, the little girl below has been cultivated and educated for several years, and she is all good."
Daiyu smiled, thinking about when to set a good date with Steward Wang, suddenly saw a servant coming over with a basket of pomegranates, and said: "This year's pomegranates are good, and the meaning is good. Pomegranates have many children. Mandarin ducks, let me go." The mother-in-law is going to send some to the snow geese, and choose some good ones."
Yuanyang agreed, and sure enough, she picked two plates of excellent pomegranates and sent them to Mother Song.
When Xueyan saw it, she said, "I knew grandma was in a hurry. It was a coincidence that I said this year's watermelons are also good. The family sent a lot of them. I have picked twelve huge watermelons. You can take them back on the way. I will There is no need to send someone to send it."
Mother Song accepted the reward and said yes with a smile.
After finishing his work, Zhao Yun came back from the outside and said, "Teacher will return to Beijing in two days, let's prepare things first, so we can go and see you."
Xueyan wondered: "Mr. Ning has returned to Beijing? Where is Mrs. Ning?"
Zhao Yundao: "I haven't arrived yet, I just sent someone to report that I will be back in two days. My teacher's mother has not returned from visiting relatives, so I don't know the itinerary."
Xueyan silently kept it in her heart, and said: "Since Mr. Ning is coming back, you should go to Mr. Ning's house first. Mr. Ning has not been in Beijing for many years, and there is no master in the house, only a servant who looks after the house. What is missing at home? You ask, come back and tell me, let's send some over there, we must prepare everything for food and clothing, we can't let Mr. Ning come back, we don't have anything at home."
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've already been there and asked someone to draw up a list, and I'll tell you to prepare some when I come back."
Said, handed the list to Xueyan.
Xueyan took a closer look, called Xiaolan, and said, "Go out and tell Mother Li to prepare according to the items on the list, and then bring out two bolts of satin. Mr. Ning is getting old, so you don't need very bright colors. You Put down what you are doing with Cui Liu, and rush out two sets of clothes, shoes and socks, and send them over tomorrow."
Then, he asked Zhao Yun about Mr. Ning's body size.
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "I didn't pay attention, but the teacher is a little thinner than me."
Xiaolan remembered it and went out with the list.
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Mistress, please worry about it."
Xueyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "One day is a teacher and life is a father. Mr. Ning is your teacher and naturally my elder. We are just doing our due filial piety. Why bother? I'm tired of sitting, you Help me walk."
Zhao Yun hurriedly supported her, and said: "It's still hot outside, let's go for a walk inside, don't go out."
Xueyan nodded and said, "Mr. Ning has been outside for many years, why did he suddenly return to Beijing?"
Zhao Yundao: "It was not mentioned in the letter. I will tell you after the teacher comes back."
Xueyan smiled, and when talking about the court affairs, because the affairs of the Xue family were handled neatly and neatly, she also knew that eight or nine were inseparable, and said to him: "Who would have thought that they would get their retribution at this time."
Zhao Yun said indifferently: "It's just what I did."
Speaking of the matter involving the Xue family involving Wang Ziteng, Xue Yan frowned slightly, and said: "That Jia Yucun is actually very ungrateful. He used to treat Yinglian, and now he treats the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family like this. When he blamed others, Why don't you think about how he got up in the first place, and how he was promoted step by step by relying on the Jia family and the Wang family."
Zhao Yun helped her walk around the house a few times, sat down to rest, and said, "They say reincarnation in heaven, just wait and see, there will always be retribution."
Xueyan nodded, she had never had any contact with the Xue family, and there was no need to visit her.
Zhao Yun asked, "How is brother Feng?"
Xueyan said: "The doctor has been invited to come and see him, he said he is tired, just rest and recuperate for a few days."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "I've told you that when you're studying at home, even if you don't need him to work in the field, you still have to practice boxing and kicking. It's just one session every three days. I couldn't bear it anymore. When I came out, I was seriously ill. Even if it’s August right now, when the spring comes next year, it’s going to be cold in the spring, won’t you be half frozen to death?”
Xueyan smiled and said, "Do you think everyone is as good at both civil and military as you? How many scholars look down on martial arts."
Because of this, Zhao Feng did not want to learn from him.
Zhao Yundao: "You and I have done our best, I really can't control anything else, just let them go."
Xueyan smiled and said, "I don't know how Brother Feng did in the exam."
Zhao Yun didn't say a word, based on what he saw when he taught Zhao Feng in the past two months, he might not be able to go to high school before he is ready.
Xueyan naturally heard him talk about it, so she stopped talking.
At this time, the stomach suddenly squirmed, Xueyan was both surprised and happy, and said: "It moved again, he moved again."
Zhao Yun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and said: "Our son is very strong, so he is smarter."
Xueyan heard this, and said angrily: "How do you know it's a son? Maybe it's a smart and beautiful girl!"
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "You will give birth in two or three months. At this time, you will be able to produce a man and a woman."
Xue Yan heard what he said, although in her heart both men and women are children, but having a son at this time can avoid worries, so she is also happy.
Zhao Yun took her pulse again carefully, helped her lie on the couch, covered her with a gauze quilt, and said, "You should rest for a while, don't worry about other things."
Xueyan said: "I can't sleep, play the piano for me."
