Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, and after a while, Jiao Qian came in and said in a hurry,

"Girl, get up quickly, we're going back." He opened the curtain, lit the lamp, and packed up his things.

Jia Lu got up, leaned against the bed, looked out the window, it was pitch black, and asked, "Why, why are you going home in the middle of the night?"

Jiao Qian quickly packed up her things, and said, "Young lady, I don't know. The head of the family came just now and said that the emperor married our second master. It was His Royal Highness the second princess in the palace. The master and wife of the family are gone. I was afraid that something might happen, so I sent someone to tell me that night, no, even the old man can't sit still, he has to go back."

Just as I was talking, there were clusters of torches flickering outside, and someone shouted again outside,

"Miss, please rest at ease. The old man replied that he will ask the girl to go back tomorrow after it gets dark!"

Jia Lu shouted outside, "Am I staying here alone or Daddy is with me!"

The servant outside then shouted, "The old man has just packed up his things and left, so that the girl can feel at ease. The old man has left a group of people here, please rest!"

Jia Lu lifted the thin quilt and was about to get up, since her father had already left, how could she rest in peace!Just as she was about to open the door, she was stopped by Jiao Qian.

"Girl, don't you even look at what you're wearing and you're about to go out? There are all men outside!"

Jia Lu took the outer robe on one side, put it on her body, and pushed open the door, saying, "What's the matter, it's not like I haven't experienced it before! This is still from my family."

The door was pushed open with a bang, and the servant outside the door was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at her more.

Jia Lu looked over at a glance, and found about a dozen men. They looked a little familiar, and knowing that they belonged to her family, she felt relieved and asked,

"When did the old man leave?"

The little servant replied, "The old man left half a quarter of an hour ago, and now he must have gone down the mountain."

"Then can I catch up if I go out now?" Jia Lu asked.

Hearing this, the little servant hurriedly stopped him and said, "Miss, you can't do it. It's not easy for this ignorant person to hurry. Even if he goes down the mountain by force, he may not be able to find the old man's carriage and horses! If the girl is in a hurry, please ask the girl." It will be more convenient to rest earlier, and we will set off at dawn tomorrow!"

Listening to this, Jia Lu didn't know how to go out, so she asked, "Are you from home?"

There were only four of her and Jia Jing going out, and these people presumably just came back.

Several people met each other and said, "Girl, some of us have been staying with you and the old man all the time, but they are all in the dark, and some of us just came from home."

Hearing this, it was both unexpected and expected. She had heard that the Jia family had hidden guards, but she had never seen it before. It turned out to be true, but now she doesn't pay attention to it.

Then he asked, "Can someone from the family tell me what happened at home?"

A thin figure stood up and replied, "Today's evening, my wife just came back from the west mansion to arrest the actor who spread rumors, and saw the angel in the palace coming, and made a marriage proposal, marrying the second princess to the mansion." Second Master, this is a big matter, the master and wife dare not be expert, so they hurriedly sent me to inform the old master."

"Wait, why did Madam go to the West Mansion to catch an actor? Which actor did she catch?" Jia Lu thought to herself, could it be what she thought?

The man replied, "The actor is called Senior Officer, and since yesterday he started spreading rumors, saying that the second master had an affair with her, and even rehearsed a play, the wife was furious, after the investigation, she went to the West Mansion to arrest him gone."

Jia Lu propped her forehead, and felt a headache. It was this senior official who was originally assigned by Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang spent most of her life in the barracks, so she could meet the senior official. Is it true that it is an official match?

There is also the second princess, thinking of the second princess's enthusiasm for her in Iron Net Mountain, she had a guess at that time, maybe it had something to do with Jia Qiang, at that time, she wondered what would happen if Jia Rong married the second princess, You even spurned your own whimsy, and it became a fact in a blink of an eye?

Forget it, the decree has been made anyway, even if I go back, can the Holy Majesty take back the decree?Even though I thought so, this night was also very difficult. I slept half the night in a daze, and it was still daylight, so I woke up early, packed up my things, and went home early.

Just as Jia Lu thought before, what if Jia Jing went back early, the Ning Mansion has long been separated from the center of power, and it is difficult to inquire about any news, so he had the cheek to ask Jia Yuanchun to come forward, and he could only get one It seems that the second princess once asked the Supreme Emperor for a decree, but the Supreme Emperor refused, and then it was news that the emperor made this decree inexplicably.

The sacred will cannot be violated, and with complicated emotions, the Ning family hastily spent this year's Dragon Boat Festival.

The Ning Mansion has twists and turns, and the Rong Mansion has never been quieter.

That day, Baoyu went to Mrs. Wang's place in her spare time in the afternoon. Mrs. Wang was taking a rest. Jin Chuan was dozing off while beating with a small hammer. Baoyu secretly stuffed her with a mint candy to wake her up. He was also happy with her, thinking that he would ask Mrs. Wang to ask her to come over and go to the garden to live a happy life together. Why bother to be kicked on the legs in the summer!

Jin Chuan was just replying, "The golden hairpin fell into the well, it should be yours or yours", Madam Wang turned over and slapped her, calling her a lowly whore, Baoyu was frightened, and ran out quickly , What happened to Jin Chuan in the future is no longer known.

Having made a fuss with Mrs. Wang, Baoyu went back to the Grand View Garden, wandered around for half a day, and after dinner, she listened to some gossiping women gossiping, saying that the senior official of Lixiangyuan was arrested by the grandma of Dongfu In the past, even Lixiangyuan was sealed up by Lian's second grandmother.

After Baoyu heard about it, she was very worried. Although those little actors had their own naughtiness, they were all good-looking and charming. They were very popular in the garden, and Baoyu liked them .

Hearing such bad news, Baoyu couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed over in a hurry, but unfortunately he came a bit late, and the gate of Lixiangyuan, which was crowded with people, was long gone. There was a big iron lock on the big black wooden door, and the inside Crying came from Wu Wu Yang Yang.

Baoyu approached and knocked on the door, leaning into the crack of the door and shouting, "Is someone inside?"

Fangguan was the first to hear this voice, leaning against the door and shouting, "Is the Second Lord Bao outside?"

Baoyu hurried back, "It's me! Are you okay inside?"

Hearing his caring voice, the crying inside became louder.

Baoyu was very distressed when he heard it, and hurriedly coaxed, "Don't cry, tell me quickly, what's going on? How did you hear that Ling Guan was arrested, why is this? Only when I explain clearly can I save people!" "

There was a lot of talk inside, and it was said that the Zhang family was vicious and beat the mandarin ducks, and that it had nothing to do with them at all. They were just singing a play. wrong!

He chattered in twos and threes, fortunately, Fang Guan still had some sense of propriety, so he made it clear in two or three words, and finally exhorted,

"Second Master Bao, please save the senior official. It must be very bad luck for the senior official to go here." He repeatedly ordered, "Mrs. Only the wife can come forward."

Things should not be delayed, and Baoyu left in a hurry after agreeing.
