Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

After the twentieth day of the first lunar month, even though the market on the street is closed, pedestrians are much more relaxed than before.The Dichuan Festival on the 21st of the first lunar month is also called the Budi Festival, which happens to be Baochai's birthday.In the past few years since Xue's family came to Beijing, the first year happened to be missed because they just came out of the filial piety period, and the second year was inconvenient to live in someone else's house, so it was never easy.This year, Mrs. Xue originally wanted to have a serious affair with the girl. Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhen passed away again, so she had to postpone it again.It is simply decided to send the daughter-in-law back home on this day.

Originally, the nineteenth day of the first lunar month was supposed to be the day to go back to the house. On that day, the streets were just released. Mrs. Xue was afraid that Xue Pandan would go out with Xu Ying and meet the prodigal son Shapi and make trouble again, so she insisted on delaying it until the 21st. When there are more people, it is better to call the maidservants around to serve the young couple to the west of the city.

Xue Biao was busy going to various shops to check, but Mrs. Xue led Baochai, Baoqin, mother and daughter at home, and asked the chef to cook excellent dishes, and she had the right to live with her daughter.Although it is a national filial piety, as long as you eat at home, don’t make such a big noise. After all, no one is full enough to support you. The three mothers happily drank some Yubing Shao. The congratulatory gifts for Zhu Fangchen are nothing more than needle chisels made by the girls themselves or a book and a painting for comfort; among them is a set of suet jade bracelets from Mrs. Wang and a piece of warm jade in the shape of a melon ordered by Mrs. Jia. , Ask Baochai to donate it to Baoqin to play with it.Suddenly the second housekeeper came in and cupped his hands: "Mrs. and the two girls, the Shen family sent a woman to return the gift to the second gate, the younger one made the decision to accept it, and the woman is still waiting below."

Mrs. Xue turned the corner to think about it, and then remembered who it was, and said with a smile: "Let someone come in, it's not easy in the cold weather." The second housekeeper saluted and left, and after a while The Xue family's mother-in-law led a clean and simple woman in and knelt down and kowtowed.Mrs. Xue hurriedly called people up, but the woman didn't seem shy, she stood up and said: "Say hello to Mrs. Xue, thanks to my wife's kindness, I asked my servants to bring charcoal fire to eat. Our old man called to prepare Some fresh melons and vegetables from Zhuangzi came, just looking forward to giving the ladies a taste. The old lady at home left early and it was inconvenient to walk around. Please don’t laugh at us for being rude. Also, on weekdays, my brother is thanks to his wife for taking care of him. I always miss your delicious food, so I'm sorry." Mrs. Xue was staying at home and wanted someone to laugh with her, but when she saw that she was quite smart, her hands and feet were clean, and she spoke neatly, she liked it very much. She sat at the bottom and talked, pointing to Baochai, Baoqin and the old woman, and said, "These are my two girls. The older one is fifteen years old. Although the younger one is a child of a brother's family, she has nothing to do with her own." Very different. There is a brother at the top, and today he brought his new daughter-in-law home to visit his father-in-law." Baochai and Baoqin nodded at the old woman with a smile, and the old woman felt that the light in front of her eyes was brighter than the other Brighten some places.The mother-in-law folded her palms together and recited the Buddha's words: "I am so good, the two girls are afraid that the fairy daughter in the painting will come back to life? The little one has lived so many years in vain!" He sent people down after asking for the purse.

After noon, Xue Pan brought Xu Ying back from Yang's house, and the young couple went into the main courtyard one after the other to see Mrs. Xue.Mrs. Xue is happy to see her daughter-in-law now, and she urges the servant girl to serve Xu Ying to sit down and talk.Xue Pan got angry and picked a place to sit down and drink tea. An Ansheng listened to his daughter-in-law telling his mother about the scenery outside, and then told his mother what he had seen along the way. He heard that the outside was no different from the old days, so Mrs. Xue stroked her. Chest said: "It's good that nothing happens. It's not a problem to be alone at home on fair days. If you have nothing to do, let Brother Pan take you there to have a look. Our family is easy-going, just say whatever you want, Don't hold back."

Xu Ying stood up and responded, and Mrs. Xue saw that it was time to rest, so she sent the two of them back to the yard to rest, and she also fell to the inner room to take a nap.Seeing this, Baochai and Baoqin also went back to the room to change their clothes. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the maid Bailing came to report to the family that the aunt who had raised her was ill and wanted to go back to take a look. I will receive five taels of silver, and I will ask a doctor to take a look at it when I go back. If there is any medicine that cannot be used, just come and report to me. It is important to save lives first." Bai Ling knelt down and kowtowed, wrapped his body and needles Chiseling female red, as expected, went to collect the silver, and ran out in a hurry.

When she went out, she didn't enter the medical hall or look for the medicine hall, she called the sedan chair to go around in a circle, changing the bearers several times in the middle, and finally stopped at the gate of a three-entry house in the city.This house is also familiar, it is the stronghold that Jinyiwei set up in the capital to facilitate the spies to pass on the news.Bai Ling walked to the corner door and knocked on the door lightly. He heard a movement from the inside door, and when he came out, he saw a girl bowed her head and handed over a sign, shook it, and hurriedly opened the door to usher people in.

Bai Ling entered the house and walked to the east, and the courtyard on the east side was where Liu Zian usually stayed.When Liu Qianshi saw that it was her, he hurriedly sent someone to the yamen to invite Shen Yu to come over, and found a place far away to sit and drink tea without raising his head.Not long after, Shen Yu rushed over from the gate of the palace asking for leave, ran away sweating all over and asked, "What's the matter? What happened to the Xue family?" Said: "I got this thing a few years ago, but I haven't been able to find a chance to give it away. I'm afraid that I'm a little anxious right now, so I have to take the risk and make excuses."

Shen Yu unfolded the fan to look at it, and motioned her to continue, Bai Ling then said: "The eldest daughter of the Xue family is a kind person, and she can't be more considerate of the servants, but the relatives in the family are very sinister, and she is called Meng in the drum. Here, I am afraid that this Xue family will be the next scapegoat to be called out." After speaking, he told the words that the stone nerd had entered that day, and Shen Yu's face turned green when he heard it. How could it be so easy for a girl to get involved in big things? It would be crazy to change someone one after another.He already believed in his heart that this thing came out of the Zhen family, and the person who followed the thing was not the murderer. He was probably watching by Prince Yizhong when something happened to him. If he were to catch this person, the Zhen family would be completely unable to recover. Needless to say, even these cases that Jin Yiwei is pressing have a clue.At that moment, he kept asking for some details, and he couldn't remember any more. Then he explained: "Go back quickly, anyway, the masters in the inner courtyard of Xue's house are safe. If there is no accident in Xue's house, I can arrange it calmly here. If the female relatives of that family go out, they must be careful, especially Miss Xue, who has handled things, must be well protected."

Bailing was blessed, took the order to retreat, and went to the street again, went to a random pharmacy and asked what the symptoms of wind-cold, cough and asthma were, and what medicine should be used. Seeing that the sun was not high, this Hurriedly rushing to Xue's house, when she entered the door, she took out what she asked in the shop to prevaricate, but she didn't miss anything, and went back to her job as a big maid in An An'an.

Seeing Bai Ling go out here, Shen Yu sat down and picked up a pen to write and draw on the paper. He recorded all the words he heard just now, and then carefully reviewed each word, even Liu Zian coughed several times beside him. I have never heard of it.Seeing that Shen Yu ignored him, Liu Zi'an coughed for a while without much interest, then stopped, got up and poured a cup of tea on Shen Yu's desk, looked at it for about a quarter of an hour and opened his mouth, "I'm afraid the Xue family is called The Zhen family took something, maybe it wasn't that the account books of the previous Hegong case were deliberately left behind by his family!" He dragged himself a short prick and sat opposite Shen Yu, took the fan and touched it: "I am so I thought, this fan was originally aimed at Jia She, the first-class general in the Rong Mansion, but he suddenly became a loving father and gave the girl the antique he was playing with in his hand, so he asked the girl to give it as a gift. Dao Xue's house."

Bailing's needle chisel skills are really good, the embroidered fan surface is almost the same as the original one, Liu Zian carefully looked at a few places and said: "In theory, Xue's family is a merchant, and there is a money bag in Siwangbakilometer. Useful, it is not worth using such a large-scale threat. If Jia Amnesty had this thing in his hand, he would not be able to wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Everyone knows that he has no ability to think about it, but who is there in Pingan Prefecture? The old department of the Rong Mansion is here." Then he put the fan back and looked up at Shen Yu: "What do you say?"

Shen Yu looked at the scribbles on the paper, frowned and said, "What I'm thinking is, how brave is this Zhen family, are they really not afraid of being punished by the emperor? Or are they just hoping that Mrs. Fengxiao will live forever!" He took out another piece of paper and laid it out. He wanted to write a sentence, and he said slowly while writing: "On the fifteenth day of the Shangyuan, I happened to lead a group of big Han generals to guard under the white jade railing outside the Jinshen Hall. It's not right, I ran in, but within a short time, when I entered, I saw Concubine Zhen had already collapsed on the imperial steps. At that time, besides Zhen Guifei, the queen was beside the emperor. Come on, we just took the cold and went up and rectified the barbarian on the spot."

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Zi'an: "If you take a woman's heart, firstly, she didn't react so quickly; secondly, when His Majesty Dan was in charge, the queen's face turned pale with fright. According to the positions of everyone, it seemed that the emperor pulled Concubine Zhen down. She blocked it in front of her, but Concubine Zhen did not hide, and went up to meet the assassin's dagger. Thirdly, according to this thinking, Concubine Zhen seemed to have known that something was going to happen at the palace banquet before, so she was able to be so calm. Once again Otherwise, the fifth prince personally brought this theater troupe in, and they covered it up in advance, whether it was intentional or unintentional, I'm afraid we have to ask questions."

Liu Zian followed his words and continued: "So the most reasonable arrangement should be like this. The fifth prince deliberately arranged this, so Concubine Zhen must have known the clues. As a result, these opera barbarians missed at the palace banquet In order to earn a way out for her son, Concubine Zhen followed the emperor's hand and smashed the assassin's weapon herself. This step made the emperor feel ashamed and saved his son's life. The Department of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just like that, turned into a dutiful son who was deceived by others."

Shen Yu nodded and said: "That's right, I'm thinking about this situation. I'm afraid the emperor knew in his heart that Zhen Guifei made a show, but the person did it seamlessly, no matter how much he hates it, he can only hold it Nose recognition. Does it sound good to hear the son killing his father in a frenzy or the son being so stupid that people deceive him? After all, there is no need to kill all the servants in the palace, just to cover up people's eyes and ears so that there is no evidence for death. In this way, this The meaning of the fan also came to fruition. Maybe it wasn't that the Zhen family had to make two-handed preparations. If things were to succeed, everything would be fine. If things failed, at the age of the emperor, these were the only sons who would be useful at his knees, and they would not kill them no matter what. Fifth Prince, if you threaten Pingan Prefecture to make a move outside, there will be a victory or defeat, and you can look forward to it."

After finishing speaking, the report under Shen Yu's hands had also been written, so he sealed it and sealed it with wax varnish on the spot. He got up and walked out, and in the middle of the walk, he didn't forget to turn his head and say to Liu Zi'an: "Tell your brother to find a way to get acquainted with Xue Biao , Now the business of the Xue family's north-south caravan is in the hands of this person. It's best to find a reason to follow the Xue's caravan to the north to have a look. "Liu Zi'an responded from behind, and Shen Yu put on his cloak and rode back to the palace. The commander, Ma Zhaozheng, was ordered to guard outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation where the emperor used to maintain his health and cultivate immortality. Foreign officials had no edict and were not allowed to enter, so they stood again I waited outside until it was dark before I found someone to send word to go in.

About a cup of tea time passed, Commander Ma's cronies came out to meet Shen Yu, and brought in the written report. After another half an hour, the cronies came back and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shen Yu, the commander said you know." That's it, burn the note on the spot after reading it, please be vigilant, fellow acquaintances, and don't disturb the bad guys. Just wait for the witnesses and the evidence to be complete, and you will be counted as a great contribution." Shen Yu thanked him, and arched his hands back to the gate of the palace to take the lead. Continue to defend, as long as I haven't moved the place at all today.

It was not until the next morning that it was time to change shifts again, just in time to rush the lords into the court, Shen Yu stood in the shadow by the door, and could clearly see the expressions on everyone's faces.This is the first big court meeting after the emperor's Zen throne, maybe someone got out of the way in a panic.According to the regulations, ministers of civil and military affairs entered through the east gate, and clan princes and princes entered through the west gate. Some of them looked mournful, some had unhappy faces, and many even had a faint eagerness to try.The first one is nothing more than putting all the treasures on the head of the fifth prince. At this time, the company is in a mess, and it is a ghost to have a good face; Give it a go, this kind of person has nothing to do with the case being investigated right now, maybe we can let it go for a while.

After all the adults had entered the palace gates to go to Fengtian Hall, Shen Yu matched the sign with those who took over the shift behind, and went to the yamen to take care of the few savages who were not dead.If you move faster, you may be able to squat for a while, and you will be on duty again in the afternoon.

These ministers and princes are also uncomfortable standing in Fengtian Palace.Everyone has not figured out what kind of temper the new emperor has, but they only remember that he was very aggressive in collecting debts, and he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, so they all clamped their tails and waited for the call.I don't want the new official to take office. These three fires haven't been lit yet, but I still reward the ministers and some clans according to the old rules.The first one was the fifth prince. The new emperor asked the Ministry of Rites to draw up a title of "King of Loyalty and Obedience". He almost pointed at people's noses and scolded Sang Huai. When collecting debts earlier, the method was right, it was useless to scare people!

Afterwards, there was a long list of clans, those who deserved to be honored, and those who deserved to be rewarded were nothing more than reassuring the few clans whose backbone had died in the first month.Afterwards, it was the turn of the foreign ministers, Lin Ruhai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came into the cabinet to listen to him. He was still in the original position of supervisor, and he would be transferred after Enke opened.As far as the military officer is concerned, Wang Ziteng, the former governor of the capital, was promoted to be in charge of the nine provinces, specializing in patrolling the borders by order, and he was also the first among the four princes and eight princes.

After the rewards were awarded, they were exiled. The first one of the soldiers and horses in the five cities was killed, and the commander of Jinyiwei didn't run away to punish him. With blood dripping from their heads, the ministers who had just breathed a sigh of relief tensed up again, and everyone was in danger.

Fortunately, the new emperor had no intention of going to war for the first time in the court meeting to see some blood. He just reprimanded him and then folded it. He also asked the eunuch to read the title of the emperor proposed by the Ministry of Rites and the former empress. idea.Everyone didn't know what to say, and when they finally encountered this, they flung off their sleeves and argued, and didn't come up with a conclusion until the meeting was over.

How the adults in the court argue is out of control in the market, except that they are not allowed to marry in March, and they are still counting the days slowly as in previous years.A woman with a noble title sees the sky enter the palace crying for the concubine, and there is no one in the inner court to control the family, which inevitably provokes a lot of gossip and robbers.There are also those daring dandies, because the decent buildings in the country's filial piety are closed and go out of business, they have made appointments to have fun with those half-door prostitutes, and they are more fun than in the past .

On this day, Wang Ren and some of the Jia family's children went out to have dinner and watch a small opera actor pretending to be a juggler. Others congratulated his parents on their promotion, so Wang Ren was also full of ambition and took the master's seat as his master.While eating, he saw an actor wearing a light yellow dress playing the role of Zhuo Wenjun with very fair skin, and suddenly thought of the humiliation at Xue's family that day.I wanted to catch him, but I didn't expect that people didn't take him seriously at all, and poured a few mouthfuls of yellow soup in anger and shame, cursing and saying: "Sooner or later, I will let that Miss Xue fall into my hands to survive. I can't ask for death, I just fulfilled my wish!" A group of helpers next to him cheered strangely, and booed with him.That Wang Ren said triumphantly: "Wait and see how the men clean up the Xue family. Bah! The lady in the head is unwilling to do it, she must be pointing to Pan Gaozhi'er to be a concubine in the high gate of others, the girl from the merchant family It’s as precious as gold and jade.” The more I said that, the more obscene it became, and even the actor who was persuading me to drink couldn’t listen to him, so I pinched my butt and had to sing "Miss, Miss is so beautiful", That's all.After the banquet was over, Wang Ren asked the servant to help him and walked home, while thinking about how to find some stumbling blocks for the Xue family.

Walking all the way, suddenly some tall men blocked the way, Wang Ren raised his eyes and was about to open his mouth to scold, when the man opposite stretched out his fist and knocked a young boy to the ground with only one punch.Wang Ren was so frightened that he woke up from the wine, and only heard the man say: "Uncle Wang, our master is waiting to see you, please follow me." He couldn't help but say that Wang Ren was caught, and he went to the carriage that had been following for a long time. With a flick of the long whip and a slap of the horse's hooves, the road soon became clean again.

The author has something to say: there are still [-] words, and I will come back and fill it up immediately.

Done, go to sleep.
