Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

In the flower hall, a needle can be heard for a while, and when Baochai mentioned "two boats", shopkeeper Wu deflated like a deflated ball.

Everyone knows that the ancestor of the Xue family has the title of "Ziwei Sheren" bestowed by the emperor.For the crape myrtle, one refers to the crape myrtle flower outside the Imperial Academy, and the other refers to the crape myrtle, the emperor star in the sky.Since the pre-Qin period, the official position of "sheren" has been set up. It was first seen in the article "Zhou Li Di Guan", and because of it in subsequent dynasties, the emperor was close to the official office.Ziwei Sheren is Zhongshu Sheren. It began in the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, became a law in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and became a law in the Song and Song Dynasties. In this dynasty, it was subordinate to the Zhongshu Department of the Cabinet, and its authority was greatly reduced. It was only for copying documents.

This post is supposed to be filled by someone with literary reputation, but Xue Jiashi does not match it.Not to mention copying documents and taking charge of edicts, when I went to Xue Pan's place, I got half-bought and half-gifted as a scholar, and the whole family was grateful. Anyone whose ancestors could understand business documents was considered an educated person, with "Ziwei Sheren" on his head Those who don't know the four words should think it's the emperor making fun of his family.

It's really hard not to think about it.

In the previous life, it was the mother who gave up her ancestral foundation to get her brother out of the death row.Baochai remembered that before and after her brother Dongchuang's incident, the Jia family was already in turmoil. When she married in according to Sister Feng's plan to drop her package, her aunt asked if she had any seals, and she shook her head and said she didn't know.Later, my aunt never asked about it again, and Baoyu was foolish all day long, good and bad, so she didn't take it to heart.Later, Jia's family asked people to report many crimes, crimes, private affairs, and human life. My brother couldn't get away with the gourd case, so he was arrested and thrown into prison that day.

That night, in a trance, I heard the women biting their tongues saying that Jin Yiwei went to Xue's house to bring things, but the next day, a decree suddenly came and agreed to spend money to buy his life.She gritted her teeth and opened Sheyue's face to arrange for Baoyu to get away and go home to have a look. At this time, her brother was in a mess and asked her mother to hold her in her arms and cry.

The thing that was asked to be taken away was probably the origin of the "Ziwei Sheren" of the Xue family.It's been a long time now, and the princes under his knees are growing up day by day. Seeing that the bloody storm is unavoidable, they will first tear themselves apart from the Jia family, and then they have to sell this hot potato for a good price.Merchants like Long Zhigong and the others don’t want to think about it anymore. Someone must carry the sedan chair for the new monarch, and then drink hot soup, it’s better than asking someone to kill the chicken for the monkey!

Therefore, at this time, Baochai must not allow the shopkeeper below to ask someone to bribe someone to steal a large amount of money from the purchase account.Where did the money go, she could probably guess without mentioning it.The head butler has seen Tianxuanmo outside these few days, and has already checked the population of several shopkeepers' family - the youngest son of the shopkeeper Wu's family married Fangjiao's wife last year, and he happens to be the niece of Mrs. Zhen's family's capable mother Hey, if the three-thousand-mile watch didn't cost a lot of money, I really wouldn't be able to get it out. It is estimated that the tens of millions of taels that were missing from the account of the master's three-year filial piety had all gone into the pockets of the fourth prince under Zhen Guifei's knees.At that time, if there is a stubble, the fat sheep of the Xue family will fill it in and fill the hole. After all, it will be the fault of the people below.

Sitting behind the curtain, Baochai carefully looked at the expressions of the other shopkeepers. Everyone had both fear and fear on their faces. Only the shopkeeper of the pawn shop looked ashamed, while the shopkeeper of the other ink shop felt relieved, with a kind of "" It's finally here."At that moment, I only asked the servant to keep an eye on shopkeeper Wu, ordered shopkeeper Li from the pawn shop and shopkeeper Zhao from the pen and ink shop, and sent the other shopkeepers to the study in the east chamber.

Shopkeeper Li didn't look at Shopkeeper Wu who was paralyzed at the side, and when the other shopkeepers went out, he knelt down tremblingly and said, "Hui, Hui girl, earlier, shopkeeper Wu brought someone to pawn a lot of things in our pawnshop, because it's my family, We didn't take a closer look, and just issued tickets based on the only copy of the Wenwan picture scroll... Miss!" Baochai said before he finished speaking, "Did I not take a closer look, or... didn't dare to take a closer look?"

Shopkeeper Zhao next to him sneered: "Why didn't you dare to look carefully? I'm afraid the cat will lead the way for the mouse, and now I'm thinking of protecting myself." Shopkeeper Li turned around and glared at Shopkeeper Zhao with fierce eyes: " Who doesn't have any dust on him, don't pretend to be innocent here! The girl must know the difficulties of us servants, it is really impossible to offend both inside and outside, really, really there is no way!"

"No way? I think you all have a way. After three years, you have transferred so much money from Xue's family, and you are not afraid of biting your hands!" Baochai threw out another pile of account books, including old accounts from previous years.Because the shopkeepers didn't pay attention to Mrs. Xue, mother and son at all, so they even made fake accounts carelessly. Anyone who knows a little about economics can see that there is something tricky hidden in it, let alone the old managers who have been in charge for many years.Several big shopkeepers blushed, and Baochai suppressed the anger in his heart and sipped his tea: "No one is allowed to talk about this matter today. The Xue family is in imminent disaster. If you can give up Wan Guan's family wealth to save your life, you can decide whether you live or die. Your wife is kind, and it just so happens that the uncle passed the government test with great joy these days, and it is not suitable to see blood. Since this is the case, I have to ask some of you to help me Get a message from home, and say that you will stay here for a few days, and when Curry is finished and everything is explained clearly, let's settle the account!"

Life is in people's hands, who dares to say no?Shopkeeper Zhao immediately sat at the table and wrote a letter from the family, then cupped his hands in Baochai's direction: "Miss Bing, my old Zhao is willing to be a vanguard for the girl. It’s nothing to be ashamed of the heavens and the earth.” Baochai sat in the room for a moment, but couldn’t feel his pulse for a moment, and only listened to Shopkeeper Zhao continue: “Shopkeeper Wu also stuffed things into our pen and ink shop last year. When it was reported, it was said to be a good blank book, and when the small one was unpacked and inspected, the top layer was indeed a clean book cut and pasted out of rice paper."

"When I saw the guests out, I felt that the servants were suspicious. They were so big that they were even tall, and they didn't look like the Liba who lived on the street outside. So when I came back at night, I secretly opened the box and checked it. , and found that all of the following are account books that have been done, and the records of each subject are vaguely... It is Hegong!"

The teacup in Baochai's hand fell to the ground and shattered with the sound of the sound. Whoever said that Hegong would not know that corruption and malpractice followed, and this is really a deadly thing. No wonder shopkeeper Zhao posted it. I really can't get out of the whole body, no matter what happens on the Xue family's boat, the whole family will not be wiped out.

"Uncle Zhao, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. Let's talk about whether the Xue family can pass this test, but since you are open and open, I have no doubts about employing people. Just take a few boys to order each warehouse. If there is a problem Pull them all here for me, and replace those account books with books and old almanacs that have not been sold in your store for years, and then you will pretend that nothing happened, so what should you do when you go back." Baochai took it Putting in new teacups, the head butler picked a few people to follow shopkeeper Zhao and went out, only Madam Su and Bailu were still waiting in the flower hall for guests.

Baochai got up and walked slowly around the hall a few times, constantly calculating the key points in his heart.It is obviously impossible for the Zhen family to borrow some things from all the shops.The account books are placed in the pen and ink shop, the stolen goods are placed in the pawn shop, and the shopkeeper who buys them is in the middle to adjust. !

It's about Hegong, these things are life-threatening talismans in your hands, and you can only keep Xue's family by stabbing them in front of the eyes of the superiors... The question is how to stab them?

After turning around several times, the butler ran back from outside and reported in a low voice what he had seen and heard in the warehouse of the pen and ink shop. Baochai only asked him, "Uncle, did you go in all right?" The big shopkeeper took the warm water from Bailu's hand He poured it down and cupped his hands again, and said, "Ms. Zhao, the shopkeeper is sincerely relying on him. The things in his shop are really terrible. When we went in, we only said that the boss was going to Beijing, and other shops and warehouses checked out that there were lost items. That's why." Later, we will send someone to check it out, and the entry and exit have been smooth. In the eyes of these people, our Xue family is really dead, and we have not been looked up to higher places at all."

Bailu exclaimed, Su Nanny tugged her and shook her head lightly, the two of them held their breaths and looked at Baochai together: "Girl!"

Baochai sat down with a teacup and pondered for a moment, then raised her head to look up at Madam Su and said, "Mama, the knife is already on the neck at this moment, there is only one way to die if you stay in this back house!"

"Don't worry, girl, no matter how tight this back house is, it can be more secret than the palace? It's not what the old man said. With the sieve-like backyard of the Jia family, you can go in and out without worry. Just a little, it's easy to go out. In case the wind leaks outside, Your reputation will be completely ruined. Nowadays, the world is difficult, and it is not easy for a woman to be a woman, so you have to think about it." Su Mama is not the kind of person who does not know how to adapt, so she naturally knows how to choose between life and death, but she just feels sorry for Baochai who has to do it for her at such a young age. The whole family planned, obviously, it was supposed to be a carefree girl's house raised in the boudoir, so why would they roll up their sleeves and end up fighting.

She also knew that Baochai had made up her mind, so she stopped persuading her and just looked at the chime bell on the chest of drawers and said, "You must be in the yard when you greet me in the morning and evening, and you are not allowed to go out for the other three festivals and two lifespans. Let Liu Yinger come down and watch over." This meant that he agreed to cover up for her.There are millions of dead bodies in the Hegong incident, no matter how strict the guidance and teaching mother is, she knows how powerful it is. What will happen to the useful and disgraceful Xue family!

At the moment when the discussions were over, Baochai ordered the housekeeper to carry the account book replaced in the pen and ink shop into the Pear Fragrance Court and hide it in the name of purchasing a gift, and then whispered a few words in his ear before letting him go out, then turned to Madam Su and said: : "Nowadays the things outside are darkened, so I'd better get busy with the immediate ones first. The nanny will run for me and tell Mrs. Jia that she will invite the female relatives to have fun together in the future. It's all due. Congratulations to my elder brother's house for trial. Now it's the end of spring when all the flowers are gone, so I named it a flower feast. In addition, let Yinger go to the girls in the yard to invite her, not even my aunt and Mrs. Xing. forget."

After sending everyone out, Baochai clutched his chest and panted a few times.A little carelessness turned out to be the end of exile again. I really can't wait to know it.She snapped her fingers and counted the people close to the center that she had seen and heard in her two lifetimes, except for her uncle Wang Ziteng, there was only Lin Ruhai, the father of the Lin family's younger sister Daiyu, the inspector.Wouldn't he have never thought about handing things over to his uncle, but when the Jia family's affairs failed in the previous life, the Wang family's nephews had the heart to sell the nieces of the first-line relatives into the fireworks field; the uncle of the Lin family left early again, and the calculation time was actually several months at this moment In between, I don't know if I was involved in something.At this time, the life of the whole family is involved, how dare to be careless?For a moment, I didn't know where to start.

That's all, anyway, it's not the time for the incident to happen in the east window of my own house, so let's draw it slowly first, in the sense that it will be smooth if the incident is slow.

In the evening, Mother Su and Ying'er both came back and said to her: "Old lady, madam and all the girls nodded and said they wanted to come to have fun, how should we arrange it now?"

Baochai said in a calm manner: "Tomorrow morning, I will pay my respects to the old lady. Let her decide where she wants to put the table, and then tell her what kind of cups, dishes and dishes to use. Let us stay here The folks in charge of the field prepared more seasonal and flowers and leaves that could be used for the banquet, and sent them over. The silver for the banquet was kept by Bailu and kept outside. If the wife wants to use it, no one dares to withhold it."

Let's go to rest now and don't mention it.

Early the next morning, Baochai took Yinger by his side to the main courtyard where the old lady lived. Jia Mu had just finished breakfast and was watching Baoyu and the little girls playing around. , hurriedly calling for people to come in.Seeing someone, she frowned and complained to her: "I haven't seen you sooner or later these days, and I never come to see my old lady." Baochai smiled busyly and begged for mercy: "Old ancestor, please forgive me. Really It’s because my elder brother took exams these few days, and the whole family was restless, and I was afraid that he would go out and make a joke out of restlessness, so I didn’t come to greet you.”

Jia's mother laughed and took her hand to pat: "Brother Pan has such a good family background, and your family has finally survived." Turning around, she said: "Your mother is also cruel. People like us, why bother?" How about forcing the child to take the imperial examination? Earlier, my grandson couldn’t eat enough and was forced to die young, which made my old lady send a white-haired man to a white-haired one.” Tears dripped from his eyes as he spoke.A group of maidservants surrounded and coaxed and persuaded him to stop.Baochai suddenly didn't realize the embarrassment, she still sat firmly and said: "Mother also feels distressed, isn't there no way? Men are always the pillars of the family. If the pillars are soft and collapsed, it will be good. Let my brother go this way." Lu didn't really want to be a scholar, but really wanted him to take it easy and not to idle around all day long. If everyone was as talented as Brother Bao, wouldn't everyone in this world be the number one scholar? "

Mother Jia just laughed when she heard this, and Baochai took the opportunity to talk about the flower banquet: "It's just a pretext for everyone to get together, and I haven't been with my sisters much since I came back from the selection of servants. It's not a problem to leave it aside, so I invite them all together, and I will have so much fun after the banquet is over." Jia Mu pointed at her and laughed at a few maidservants beside her: "This is to use chicken feathers as an arrow. Excuse me. My old wife’s raft makes you little sisters happy, go and go. This table will be placed in the garden behind, and there is a clump of weeds next to the lake, and the eyes are clear when you look at the water. If you have porcelain that you need, just have a drink with mandarin ducks. Say, let her open the treasury to look for it." For a while, all the women and maids laughed again, and a girl from outside came to report that Mrs. Wang had arrived.

Mrs. Wang came back to report on family affairs. Seeing this, Baochai asked Jia's mother, "Why didn't you see sister Lin today?" It's in the green gauze closet at the back, just go and see her."

Baochai stood up, saluted and left as promised, walked around the Bogu shelf at the back and walked a few steps to the east, and saw a small hut where Daiyu's maid, Zijuan, was sitting outside with a fan and boiling medicine medicine.Because of the quarrel between the two in the previous life, Baochai consciously or unintentionally avoided this beautiful woman made of tears, and would not have asked to see her if she hadn't found an excuse to leave Jiamu's presence.

Seeing Baochai coming, Zijuan got up and shouted, "Miss Bao is here." Turning around, she opened the curtain and took a step back to let Baochai in.Baochai took Ying'er in, and saw a very small gauze cabinet with embroidered beds, bookshelves, books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones.There is a half-drawn compartment outside, which must be Baoyu's residence.Baochai sighed inwardly, saying that Mrs. Jia is truly a ruin, and when she walked closer, Daiyu was lying on the mattress with a pale face and flushed cheeks, as if she was sobbing softly.

"What's the matter? Why are you crying so hard?" Xueyan, the maid who turned her head and didn't see Daiyu, added another sentence: "Where is Xueyan? Are you alone in the room?"

Daiyu was afraid of being ridiculed by her, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and sat up, saying: "It's just that her chest is stuffy and tight, it's nothing serious, elder sister Lao came to see me." Coughed twice and said: "Xueyan went to the big kitchen for me, I want to eat some light vegetarian dishes today."

Just talking about the snow geese coming in from the outside angrily, without raising their heads, they just said: "Girl, I went to order some water shield soup, but the big kitchen said that all the water shields were used up yesterday, and the ones I bought haven't been delivered yet." , and complained that it was too troublesome to remove some thin perch meat, so he almost pointed his nose and scolded..." Halfway through the speech, Zijuan stopped coughing, and then he looked up and saw Baochai and Yinger, master and servant, sitting Watching from the side of the master's bed.

Since Daiyu came back from her last visit to Baochai, consciously or not, she wanted to tear Baoyu away, not to mention her grandmother's plans for the future, but now she still wears her mother's filial piety, so she sits and sleeps with her grandmother every day. Don't worry, if you say it, your ancestors will lose face for several lifetimes.In the past, Xueyan was childish, and the nanny Wang Momo was too old and useless, so no one reminded her. That day, Baochai gave her a good meal, which was like enlightenment, and when she came back to look at these things, she felt awkward.But he was also distressed that no one was making decisions for himself, and the one who came and went was actually lingering and sick.She also had a calculation in her heart, regardless of others, she was also a guest girl, and she was afraid that Baochai would look down on her, so she avoided seeing her these few days.At this time, Xueyan accidentally revealed her words, which made her angry and ashamed, and for a while, the big teardrops fell down again.

The author has something to say: press line update...Brother Rui is too noisy during the day, and I have to read the original while writing, for fear of being too OOC.
