Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

After Baochai returned home, Yinger reported in a low voice all the chess entrustments she had entrusted to her. After listening, Baochai sighed softly and said, "There is no way around this. Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite. Although Grandma Jia Ergu is a little Zimu, you don't need to worry if you understand the matter." After that, he didn't mention it any more, and went back to Shen's house quietly all the way.

At this time, it was too late for Shen Chu, so Baochai sent the servants who accompanied him all the way to answer Mr. Shen, and then he took the servant girl to the kitchen to arrange dinner.The heat between August and September has not subsided, and it is the sultry and bitter summer time.Baochai ordered his family to gather some cool and edible flowers and leaves to squeeze the juice and see the sky for a change to make some cold food.Among them, locust locust leaves and chrysanthemum leaves are used the most. They are served with sweet vinegar, shredded courgettes and radish, and the fried melon seeds are crushed and sprinkled. After mixing, it is fresh and sour, and there is a trace of spicy and sweet taste in the aftertaste. The fragrance of locust leaves or the sweetness of chrysanthemum leaves is refreshing. Even Mr. Shen, who doesn't like vegetarian food very much, can eat two bowls in one meal. .

When Shen Yu came back in the evening, she didn't have time to eat and went straight to the east courtyard to talk to his wife. At that time, Baochai was doing needlework under the lamp. .Hearing footsteps outside, Baochai looked up, only to see Second Master Shen hastily put down the curtain and walked in, frowned and sat down without saying a word.Baochai got up and poured tea by his hand, sat down again and asked softly, "What's the matter today?" Shen Yu shook her head, thought for a while and finally said, "It's nothing." Since he said nothing, Baochai didn't ask any more questions, and told him to rest as usual after dinner.

In the middle of the night, Baochai was suddenly awakened by a nightmare, she stood up and sat upright, only to see the moon was setting outside the window, she reached out her hand to touch the icy blanket around her, and hurriedly called out for someone.The egret on night duty outside heard the sound and opened the door and came in to light the candles. Seeing Baochai sitting on the bed hugging the quilt with a surprised expression, he took a blanket and put it on her shoulders and said, "Grandma, you fell asleep soon after you rested, my lord." Then I got up and changed into official uniforms and went out again, Tete told us to serve you well, and said that I will come back and explain to you in detail after I have an errand today."

Baochai hugged the quilt in her arms, raised her hand to take the warm water offered by Bailu and slowly drank it, and after sitting for a while, she asked, "What time is it now?" Sleep for a while?" Baochai paused after hearing this, wrapped the thin quilt tightly around her body and said, "No need, I will go back to my mother's house after I have eaten breakfast at dawn."

Bailu didn't know why, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Grandma, my uncle is probably going out for business. According to grandma's usual behavior, I will not be annoyed. How come I am suddenly annoyed today? Even if I am really annoyed, I have to wait for my uncle." Come back and go back to your natal family, or is it not intentional to disrespect others?" Baochai felt better now, and when she heard her talk, she smiled slightly and said, "What is there to worry about? I just went back to my natal family because I have something important to do. Besides, the second master may not be able to return home for a few days, don't worry, I know." Seeing how determined she was, Bai Lu had no choice but to agree, and persuaded Baochai to sleep a little longer.

Why would Baochai lie down again?The nightmare just now was very horrifying, only the dim candlelight made her understand where she was at this moment, and she no longer wanted to live there like in the dream.Bai Lu had no choice but to help her get up, and after changing her clothes, she went to the kitchen to get some hot food.Baochai, who had eaten food before, took a random book and sat under the candle to read it slowly. It took another hour or so before the sky gradually turned pale.

When the sky was bright, there was gradually the sound of servants coming and going outside. Sure enough, Baochai had eaten too early, so she sent someone to tell Mr. Shen to set up a car and go back to Xue's house.It's really not that she wants to get angry with Shen Yu, but that many noble families in Beijing have recently been imprisoned for crimes, plus Shen Yu's attitude yesterday, Baochai can guess that the place where he went last night is determined to have a great relationship with her .Since Xue's family came to Beijing, they have been restrained and acted according to their wishes. Naturally, they can't be the target. The remaining families are either Wang's or Jia's.Recently, there was a bad news from Prince Teng, and now in the name of protecting benevolence and righteousness, he will not do anything to him again, so the only answer is the Jia family.

In the last life, the Jia family ransacked the house and seized the title. In this life, it will be within a few months sooner or later, which is not too abrupt.Baochai's eagerness to go back to her natal home was also to show consideration for Mrs. Xue's mood. No matter how much Jia's family did, she would end up with relatives, and how could her mother be happy if her aunt was in trouble.In just over a month, first the elder brother was seriously ill, and then the sister broke the house. Baochai was afraid that Mrs. Xue would collapse due to the stimulation, so she hurriedly took her maid and went to Xue's house.When they arrived at Xue's house, a servant from Jia's family who had escaped knelt in the hall and wept. Seeing Baochai, he rushed up and wailed, "Auntie, grandma, please persuade my uncle to show respect, even if it's because of the old lady's sake." Come on, a little bit beyond life."

When Baochai saw that the old woman was born, she asked about it, and it turned out that it was a cook who lit the fire. Because it was a son of the family, the master secretly sent him out to beg for mercy.Baochai asked her, "How is the Rong Mansion now? Are all the female relatives all right?" The old woman dared not hide anything, and immediately replied, "I'm telling you, my aunt, an adult suddenly went to bed with my uncle in the middle of the night last night. After entering our house, the masters of the outer courtyard were all locked away, and the female relatives rushed to guard in the ancestral room. They searched inside and out, and dragged away the things in the library, and even carried out a lot of things from the second wife's room. It's stolen goods. The old lady said that Jia's family already knew they were wrong, and hoped that the loser would save their lives, and would rather go back to their hometown to farm in the future, and never dare to make mistakes again."

After hearing Mrs. Xue's mournful cry and looking at her daughter with tears, Baochai closed her eyes and looked up for a few breaths, then opened her eyes again and said: "Don't be in a hurry, the teacher will go back and explain to the old lady, the more chaotic it is now, the more mistakes are easy to make." Don't be too busy begging me. I just want to think about what the superiors want at home. You must take care of yourself and wait for the superiors to make a ruling. Besides, the emperor has passed away and has not yet received an amnesty. If the family cooperates, it is impossible to judge before the amnesty Even if you are convicted, your sentence can be commuted, and you must not follow the example of the Zhen family." Hearing what she said was true, the woman wiped her face, kowtowed her head and left without crying.

After she left, Baochai comforted Mrs. Xue again, admonishing her mother's family to guard the house and not get involved in these matters. Seeing that her brother and mother nodded in agreement, she returned to Shen's house.As soon as she entered the door, the old housekeeper came to see her, saying that Mr. Shen wanted to see her, so Baochai hurriedly went to the inner room to tidy up a little, and then followed her to the main courtyard.When they arrived at the main courtyard, there were many servants standing on both sides. Baochai followed the old butler into the flower hall. After blessing him, Old Man Shen pointed to a cushioned chair and said, "Sit, sit and talk."

Baochai sat down as promised, and the old man coughed twice and said, "Brother Yu has no time to take care of the family these past few months, thank you for your hard work. Drink tea, drink tea!" As the old butler served the tea, he silently retreated. Down.Baochai took a sip from her teacup and continued to wait for the old man to speak.Mr. Shen coughed again, stretched out his hand to scratch his hair and said, "I just heard that brother Yu ransacked your aunt's house. This, this, he can't do anything about it. He has to go if he is ordered to arrest people." No? Granddaughter-in-law, you are magnanimous, don't worry about it, don't worry about it this time." Baochai calmed down and said softly when he heard him say this: "Grandpa is worrying too much, I naturally know what my aunt's house is like. Cause and effect Clearly, the retribution is not good. Since the higher-ups have directly issued Jin Yiwei to raid the house and arrest people, they must have evidence of illegality in their hands, so they have to blame the aunt's family for committing crimes, and instead blame the people who came to enforce the law."

Seeing the sincerity of what she said and the expression on her face did not seem to be fake, Mr. Shen heaved a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that you can understand the righteousness, I know this is a bit embarrassing, but there is no way to do it. Back then, my son, wife, and eldest grandson were killed one after another, and there was only Brother Yu left in the Shen family. I was really afraid that he would die too, so I had to be sent to Jinyiwei to work as an errand. Don't think that this place has a bad reputation, but it's normal but there is no one there. Dare to move, that’s why he’s been made safe until now. Brother Yu will explain the matter to you when the time is ripe, and now I have to wrong you first, and ask him to make amends to you later.” Baochai silently referred to Old Man Shen Keeping the words in my heart, I nodded and said goodbye and went back.

It took another two days for Shen Yu to come back from the outside. When she saw Baochai dodging and hesitating, she coughed and cleared her throat, then clasped her hands and surrounded her tightly and said, "Grandma, grandma, forgive me this time. I dare not tell grandma, for fear that grandma will be angry and sad when she finds out." Baochai told him that he couldn't laugh or cry: "What are you doing? What's wrong with me?" Shen Yu straightened up and looked at Baochai's face , carefully said: "Isn't this an errand given by the superiors? I don't know that your aunt's family is so courageous!"

Baochai wondered: "What about the Jia family? It's not that I look down on them, but what kind of crimes can they commit?" Shen Yu stretched out her hands to support Baochai's arms and asked her to sit on a chair by the window, and she just moved a Xiudun to sit there. He continued: "Then grandma really underestimated relatives' families. Originally, someone came out to Ningguo Duke's third-rank Wei Lie General Jia Zhen to gather in his father's filial piety for a feast. Ask Ti Xing to be sent down by the procuratorate for a detailed investigation. After the investigation, it was found that several cases were involved, including the arrogance of the Qin family when the woman in the grave of Ningfu died. The government found the Rongguo mansion, and then a man named Zhang Hua was sent to sue the Jia family for robbing people and wives, and the original Chang'an garrison sued the Jia mansion for private and human life, and privately sold good people and filial piety. Seeing these things now, I was furious, and I was about to order Jin Yiwei to bring Jia's family to justice after verification, and there was another incident of Da Sima Jiahua Jia Yucun's second son of the Jia family's second house against poetry, so he ordered me to come and search the house without distinction lock people."

Hearing this, Baochai was dumbfounded.She was naturally aware of the crimes committed by the Jia family, but she didn't know that they were found out in such a way, and each case was shocking.In my previous life, I only heard the charges and felt that the crime was extremely heinous, but I had no other thoughts. Now, each witness and the ins and outs of the case told Shen Yuyi that Baochai only said that it would be light for the Jia family to just ransack the house and send him to prison-this is still quite serious. Yu was not ashamed to talk to her in detail.

At that moment Baochai sighed and said: "People are doing it, and the sky is watching. It's not that the time has not come." Shen Yu took a sip of water, coughed and shook her head: "This is not over yet. I took people there a while ago, It happened that the family banquet in the mansion was just over, and the outer courtyard was locked at that time. Wang Yi, my grandma's aunt when I copied it to the inner courtyard, really opened our eyes. In the private treasury of this wife, at least 2000 taels were copied out of the scattered silver, and several boxes of other IOU receipts and head jewelry, as well as two boxes of gold and silver privately collected from the Zhen family.
