The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Capital

Two days before Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu passed on the letter of safety, the Rongguo Mansion first received the beauties sent back by Wang Guizhi to the "male relatives". Jia's mother was worried and anxious when she saw those enchanting and charming people. The little goblins who put on a cute and pitiful look in front of them didn't know what to say. I was so sick that I was thinking about those bastard men at home. What happened to the sex side, and these beauties were collected and sent back from thousands of miles away.

Without the old lady making a sound, Jia She himself was so ashamed that he could hardly lift his head. He used to think that flirting with a few women was nothing serious, but when he really put it on the stage, he was really shameless.

Jia Mupi smiled, "Look, let's take a look!" She swept the beauties with her cane, "How about it, choose one, my lord, don't you guys love this kind of man? Yes. Now, how can I do it with just one, and I have to choose five or six, and it would be good to have all of them in the southeast, the north, and the west.”

Jia She blushed and immediately knelt down, "Old lady, you say that, but how can I let my son bear it?"

"Huh! The head of the family, who has a granddaughter, is still thinking about looking for five or six things..." Jia Mu sighed, the second daughter-in-law died, and her second son didn't know what happened. Well, there is no guarantee that he will be left alone to accompany her, and she also stretched out in tears, Jia She hastily walked a few steps on her knees, holding her mother's hand with both hands, "Mother!"

"You, from now on, let's focus more on serious matters. From now on, we will all be watching you." If Mrs. Wang is gone, and the reason is not clear, how can the Wang family rest? I don't know how dangerous it is in Guangdong and Guangxi.It was so easy for the second son to strive for success, and with the help of a virtuous wife, he was able to support the Jia family, but now this kind of thing happened again.Mother Jia will not underestimate the women in the house. If Mrs. Wang really goes, the family does not know what kind of situation they will go through.

Jia Zhen got Qin Keqing, she was so in love, she was young and tender, and she was so beautiful, and she didn't have a flair in her speech. She thought she was the daughter of a petty official, but Qin Bangye didn't know how to get crazy, and she didn't know why. She made great efforts to marry some treasures that are rare even in the Jia family, as well as Tang Bohu's "Begonia Sleeping in Spring". I don't know that Qin Taixu, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, is really related to her family, and there is also a very fragrant couplet. , there is also a precious mirror and a gold plate, and a pearl tent. It is even more enjoyable for Princess Shouchang to have fun with her on the couch where His Royal Highness Hanzhang lies. He is as happy as any treasure, let alone other concubines. Even Peifengyou's family was taken away by Qin Keqing. If it weren't for her gentle and pleasant personality, I don't know what kind of disturbances will arise in Ningguo Mansion.

How could Jia Jing, who was busy summarizing the charts and ship charts and picking them up with interest, know that if Jia Mu hadn't asked him to go and gave him four beauties to bring back, how would he have known? I have never met Qin Keqing.

"Huh, look at your bad reputation, the second wife is 'reading' you, and I gave it to you." He put down the tea bowl in his hand, "What are you doing on weekdays, I listened to you a few days ago Mr. Zhen from the family school said he was sick and asked for leave. At the same time, he was thinking that he was old, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of the students of our Jia family. Know?"

He is patronizing Gao Le, so how can he care about Xueli!Jia Zhen was about to look at Youshi, but Youshi ignored him, only turned her body slightly and said nothing.Jia Zhen couldn't do it, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yeah, I haven't heard of it yet!"

Hearing that Jia Zhen didn't even know about this matter, Jia Jing immediately became angry, he knew that Youshi was the stepmother, and his family background was nothing, so he couldn't be more disciplined in front of Jia Zhen, "Then what else do you know? Huh? Last month, the second wife sent some fresh mushrooms and melons from the village, and she also said that there will be a drought this year. Although the fruits are sweeter, the grain in the fields may not be harvested, do you know that?"

When Jia Jing saw him like that, he knew that he must not know, so he stood up angrily and shouted, "Get me a family law!" How long can the old man live!Jia Rong is still young, if he is left to dawdle like this, the Ningguo Mansion will definitely lose him by then!

Seeing Jia Jing getting angry, everyone knelt down and did not dare to make a sound or disobey the order. Finally, they took a long stick and beat Jia Zhen on a wide stool. The boss took off the whip, and whipped Jia Zhen's buttocks twice, until Jia Zhen rolled on the ground.

"I think you are also at such an old age. Not to mention starting a family and starting a business, your wife has begged for two. In front of your grandchildren, I want to save some face for you, but what about you!" He had to be supported by Youshi and Peifeng to stand firm, "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate! Why did I give birth to such a bastard as you!" A few days ago, I saw him painting some paintings and doing some classical work with the second wife. The medical books can be considered to have benefited, and I really can't be careless for a while!

Seeing that her father was so angry, Jia Zhen knelt down and kowtowed to her father, who dared to refute a single word, and kept making promises, finally calming down for the time being.

For these beauties, not only Jia She and Jia Zhen were scolded and tortured, but Xue Pan and Wang Ren were also implicated.

Xue Pan is even better. After being taken care of by Wang Guizhi for a while, he can concentrate on reading a book, and before Master Xue passed away, he made arrangements for the big and small businesses of the family.Apart from the fact that there should be no delay in the business, Wang Zisheng and Xue's loyal servant and old man were entrusted, and he was ordered to let Xue Pan enter the marriage and leave a child before he can mobilize the family's funds.Wang Zijiong knew that she was soft-hearted and could not understand economic management. The Xue family was also a large group of relatives. If the master was not around, how could she cope with it? It's easy to learn some rules, and then you can participate in the show and marry a good family.Since she knew that the boys from Jia’s family that her sister married were paid four taels a month, she also adjusted Xue Pan to five taels. Without money, although Xue Pan would not be bullied in the capital (Wang Ziteng station It’s working), but no one is willing to hang on to him.

Followed by the study of Jia's family in Beijing, Zhen Shiyin is quite knowledgeable in learning, and he knows how to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Seeing that Xue Pan is not going to take the exam to enter the Huangmen, he is not strictly required to read and memorize the Four Books and Five Classics. Take some travel notes of places of interest and historical sites and biographies to talk to him, but it is strictly necessary for him to copy scriptures, trace red and write in red every day.Xue Pan is praised from time to time, and even though he is a bit stupid and reckless, he treats his brothers and sisters very well at home, especially playing best with Jia Cong.

Wang Zijiong accepted the two beauties, but he didn't feel anything. He just thought that Xue Pan was indeed coming of age, so he should talk to him about marriage first.Fearing that these two maids would suddenly change his son's disposition again, he hesitated for a while, then put the two beauties beside him first, changed their names to Bai Lu and Han Lu, brought Baochai and went to find his sister-in-law Feng Zhenlan Discuss Pan'er's marriage.

Wang Ren was miserable, he was locked up in the wilderness, eating vegetables and tofu every day, and the monk Amitabha who guarded the gate, called the heavens and the earth not working, and had no other way except to study, but maybe he really had a relationship with those people. He couldn't learn it at all, so he was released after a full hundred days, only had two meals of meat, and played with the maids in his own lady's house for two days. Wang Zisheng saw it The beauties who sent him, as well as the absolutely undisguised green crows under his nose, immediately whipped him up again and wanted to send him away again.Wang Ren was so frightened that he lost his courage. He really didn't know what kind of good life he was living. If he was asked to go back to the yellow mud wall room, he, he would rather kneel in front of his father and recite the Tao Te Ching.

Wang Guizhi didn't know that the beauties she sent were effective in beating like this. She originally thought that with these beauties, they would be less likely to mess around outside and fight with others less.

Emperor Yanzai was very satisfied with Wang Guizhi's recovery, at least he didn't have to worry about one thing he was worried about for the time being.Every day in the imperial court, the astonishing act of attacking and impeaching Jia Zheng is indispensable, saying that it is stabilizing the foundation of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, but Emperor Tingzai will stay in the middle. In addition to the secret report, there is circumstantial evidence sent by his son Yuan Kang. The most important thing is to stabilize the grain and grass that can be transported westward.

After the court, Emperor Ting Zai summoned three or four more officials to have breakfast together. Apart from the fact that he had to send them to work, it was also the beginning of showing his attitude. Now that everything was prepared, the east wind could start to blow.

Then he went to the Daming Palace to listen to the inner ministers' affairs, and at the same time to approve the papers, those old-fashioned ones, after he had dealt with the urgent and important documents, he casually flipped through them and put them aside.

"My lord, where are you going to have your lunch?"

"Go to the queen." When Emperor Ting Zai thought of the 500 million taels of real gold and silver in his private treasury, he was a little bit excited to criticize.

The empress greeted Sheng Jia at the gate of the hall, seeing that he didn't even glance at the young concubines who were dressed up in fancy clothes, knowing that he must not be in the mood to rest with her today, so she said a few words and said They were all dismissed, and the two of them sat opposite each other quietly until they finished their meals.

"This crystal shrimp dumpling is not bad. There is something crisp and sweet inside. What is that?" Emperor Ting Zai rinsed his mouth and asked casually.

She did know about this, "It's water chestnuts. He'er sent it along with the letter. This variety is from Guizhi in Guangxi, called Sanzhicriss. It's a big cart, saying that it appetizes and detoxifies, strengthens the stomach and eliminates food..." The queen also said I feel a little embarrassed, at this age, sometimes it is really not smooth.

Emperor Tingzai smiled and said, "He wholeheartedly made this for us. I heard that he insisted on the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou to 'sell' a piece of good jade to him. Did you think of giving you a jade pendant or something?" Just kidding, how could there be less celebrity calligraphy and paintings, Zhongding treasures, gold, silver and jewelry in the palace?

"That's really not true. Instead, he asked me to ask for it, saying that his mother-in-law has a very good piece of jade, which compares to his." The queen said with a light smile.

Emperor Tingzai thought that some people participated in Jiazheng's theory of gods and ghosts to fool the people, and the jade was also mentioned in it, saying that it was brilliant and extraordinary. "In the end, it's just a plaything." It's just a piece of jade, and the common people are so ignorant that when a seriously ill person recovers or someone finally becomes pregnant, they say that there is help from a god and a man, a fairy bestows a child, and so on.Those are just things that should be done. The so-called divine favors are all vain, and they are just excuses for using them when they are useful.Even benevolence is just a tool in the hands of their rulers. He must let all his courtiers speak benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness in order to be superior and always subdue them.

"Since Mrs. Jia's illness is getting better, you can do what she told you last time." Emperor Tingzai said directly. It's really hard to find such a suitable and just person.

The Queen said seriously, "Yes, Your Majesty."
