The Fenghua Years of the Red Chamber

Let's talk about Jia She and his son, with Jia Yun's dredging, soon after they left Beijing, they were unloaded from the torture tools and rested in a teahouse by the roadside.Apart from Jia Amnesty and his party of four, the group escorted to northern Xinjiang this time also included two civil servants who were defeated in the court battle, and two villains who accidentally killed people.

Several families got together, Jia Lian took out the water bag and dry food, kicked Jia Amnesty and said: "Master, drink some water, everyone will persist for a while, and when we arrive at the next village, I will find a way to get a carriage. You don't have to work so hard." Jia Lian looked at the whole family, the old and the young, and after only an hour of walking, they all felt a little bad, and only Jia Cong, a young man, could help out a little.

"Brother Peng, your daughter-in-law should have already taken her away, but unfortunately, Brother Mao will suffer hardships with us, and I don't know how your wife will live in the future." Jia Amnesty touched Jia Mao's head that was snuggled beside him.

"Master, don't worry, your daughter-in-law is a successful one, and the two of them will definitely not suffer. Sister Qiao, how did your mother explain it to you? Have you forgotten?" Jia Lian saw that Sister Qiao had soaked the veil , was about to wipe his face, and scolded severely in a low voice.This time there were many yamen servants escorting them, and there were always a few scum.

Qiaojie immediately put away the veil, her eyes were red, she hurriedly lowered her head so that no one could see the tears in her eyes, Jia Lian and Jia Amnesty looked at each other, but shook their heads helplessly, not knowing how to explain to the little girl.Jia Cong and Jia Mao wanted to comfort him, but Jia Lian shook his head to stop him. It was because Wang Xifeng was considerate. Fortunately, it would be better if he persisted for a few more days.

Staying at the inn that night, Sister Qiao saw with her own eyes that the family members of a family of civil servants were dragged out. I don't know how to comfort.

After a few more days, they finally arrived at the agreed place. Jia Lian paid off the yamen servants and went out to do some shopping. Seeing the guards next to Jia Amnesty in disguise and the matchmaker who was helping to act, Jia Lian sold Qiaojie for two taels of silver. Sister Qiao looked at Jia Lian in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her father had betrayed her. Brother Mao and Brother Cong pleaded hard, but they didn't change Jia Lian's behavior.

"Stop your tears, after being forgotten that you are the Rongguo Mansion, sister Qiao, it's useless to be a father, now I can't protect you, I can't let you fall to the level of the daughter of that family, be obedient, follow them, you can always Find your mother." Jia Lian pulled Qiaojie to the matchmaker, and said sharply, his daughter was completely pampered and brought up, after such a time, her courage was frightened, and she was not as lawless as before.

After being reprimanded by Jia Lian, Sister Qiao finally listened to Jia Lian's words, took off the pouch from her neck, stuffed it into Jia Lian's hand, kowtowed to Jia Lian, and followed the matchmaker away.When Jia Lian went back, Jia Mao and Jia Cong looked at him hostilely. Seeing the purse in Jia Lian's hand, Jia Mao suddenly remembered his purse, and hurriedly untied his own purse, asking Jia Lian to buy Qiaojie back.

"Brother Mao, that is the purse that your mother left you, please take it away, you are not a child anymore, your sister can no longer follow us, no matter how poor your father is, he does not rely on selling his children for a living, we will meet again in the future One day, your grandfather is old and his health is not good, so you can take care of him by his side, Brother Cong, you will follow me tomorrow, we have to prepare something." Jia Lian did not defend himself, and put Jia Maoshen's hand on his neck take away.

After sending Qiaojie away, Jia Lian finally had no worries and had a rest for the night. These days he was always worried that something might happen to Qiaojie if he was not careful.

Jia Amnesty was getting old, he was convicted in prison, and traveled a long distance, and fell ill on the way. Jia Lian took the medicinal materials that had been prepared a long time ago and boiled the medicine. The house leaked and it was raining continuously. After a rainy night, Brother Mao also had a fever In order to take care of the two of them, Jia Lian and Jia Cong, two sons who had never suffered a crime, forcibly learned to cook medicine and porridge in life, but fortunately they finally survived.

When they arrived in the north, people sent by Zhao Yi went all the way to Anzhou City. The father and son were taken to the garrison.

"Zhao Yi, good son-in-law, the old man really saw you right, yes, yes." Jia Amnesty stroked his beard and said, most of his Jia family members avoided him.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is ashamed. I got the news late and didn't help get rid of the crime. I can only take care of him on the way and let my father-in-law suffer." Zhao Yi confessed.

"Good son-in-law, you have tried your best. Fortunately, you knew about it late. The situation in Beijing is extremely dangerous. Many people ransacked their homes and dismissed from office. This old man is a blessing in disguise. Finally, you are out of the capital. You will be happy with Yingchun in the future. I Father and son have their own plans." Jia She said with a hearty smile.

"Father, what's going on? I saw in the mansion newspaper that our family took over the finances of the Zhen family? How could the wife and sister-in-law have the property of the Zhen family? Is it the old lady?" Yingchun felt something was wrong when she saw the mansion newspaper. Father was very careful, how could he accept the property of the Zhen family at this juncture, not to mention the fact that the Zhen family was not familiar with their eldest wife.

"Yingchun, death is like a lamp going out. After all, it's your grandmother. Forget it, it's all over. From now on, you and your son-in-law will live a good life, stay at home and take care of your husband and children, and don't get involved in the affairs of your mother's family. Come to ask for help, you two don't bother." The old lady's behavior really made Jia She sad, and there is a second wife, which implicates his father and son, and the brotherhood is broken, Jia She specially ordered.

"Master, brother, this is a letter sent by my sister-in-law a few days ago, let me pass it to you." Yingchun took out the letter from Wang Xifeng.

"Okay, okay, father, everything is going well, they have received brother Peng and sister Qiao safely." Jia Lian was overjoyed after reading the letter, the big stone in his heart was finally let go.

Jia Mao kept holding back along the way, but now when Jia Lian mentioned Qiaojie, he burst into tears, calling for her sister, and when Yingchun asked about the situation, he knew that Jia Lian had sold Qiaojie on the way.

"Brother, how could you sell Qiaojie? Where did you sell it? I'll bring her back right away. Master, you don't care about brother." Yingchun was in a hurry, and she didn't care about her big belly. To find someone, Zhao Yi did not agree to look at Jia Lian.

"Second sister, please be safe and don't be impatient. Sister Qiao is fine. She is living with your sister-in-law now. Brat, you will sue." Jia Lian comforted Yingchun and told the whole story.

"Master, you and your wife have divorced. Brother, have you divorced your sister-in-law? Don't you know what your wife and sister-in-law's family look like?" Jia Yingchun didn't know that there was such a thing. Wang Xifeng didn't mention it in the letter. thing.

"Your wife followed me and never had a peaceful life, so you can't be too old and come here with me to be imprisoned." Jia Amnesty drank tea calmly, listening to her daughter's accusations.

"Don't worry, your sister-in-law's temperament can't be disadvantaged. Whether it's the Wang family or the You family, she is not afraid. Don't worry, there are Brother Peng and Sister Qiao by their side. Father has already arranged for them. Live well." Jia Lian said with a smile. "Brother Mao, don't blame your father for being biased. He sent Brother Peng and your sister away, leaving you to follow your father to the border to suffer."

At this moment, Jia Mao finally understood that his grandfather and father sent their elder sister and younger brother to their wife, and they did not just sell them off at will. "Father and son understand that the older sister is a woman, the younger brother is young, and the son, as the eldest son, naturally wants to stay with his grandfather and father to be filial."

"Just understand." Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian looked at Jia Mao, very relieved.

After resting for three days, Jia She and his party took the things they had prepared for the Spring Festival and embarked on another journey. After half a month, they arrived at the final place of exile. Zhao Yi took care of it in advance. Jia She and the others were not troubled and were placed in the county seat Inside, a woman was invited to do the laundry and cook.

In a blink of an eye, it was the New Year's Eve. Jia She and Jia Lian received large and small packages from the capital and Anzhou, but there was no ancestral memorial tablet, so the father and son had to kneel down to the southeast to worship their ancestors, and then sat around the table and had a tasteless meal. New Year's Eve dinner.In the suburbs of Beijing, after Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing asked Peng Geer to pay homage to their ancestors, they put away the memorial tablets, and the family of four ate a relatively rough New Year's Eve dinner.

"I don't know what happened to the master and the others? But they used the New Year's Eve dinner?" Mrs. Xing looked at the food on the table and couldn't help crying.

"Mother-in-law, don't cry on New Year's Eve. Father-in-law and the others must be living well. They even hired a woman to wash and cook, so they won't be hungry." They all changed their names.

Days passed unhurriedly, in April in Yangchun, Wang Xifeng welcomed visitors from the southwest, Zhang Qingping, they were late to hear the news, they rushed quickly, and only now arrived in Beijing, Zhang Qingping pardoned Jia to 20 Return the two banknotes to Jia's family.

"Cousin, I can't accept this money as a woman, and besides, I have been abandoned by your cousin. Even if you want to pay back the money, you are looking for the wrong person." Wang Xifeng hastily refused, jokingly, the money is the dowry returned , Without Jia Lian's consent, how could she take back the money.

"That brother Peng is always my cousin's son, so he should accept it." Zhang Qingping said wittily.

"Cousin, that's the last wish of the deceased mother-in-law. Besides, the child is carrying money across the market. This money is not something that we orphans and widows can protect today. You should take it back. If you have the heart, during your stay in Beijing, give it to Peng Enlightenment bro." Zhang Qingping's trip to Beijing this time, apart from returning the money, the most important thing is to participate in the next year's safety.

Zhang Qingping only brought a book boy to Beijing this time, and Wang Xifeng rented a vacant small courtyard in the village for the two of them. After tidying up, he sent brother Peng to study for an hour every day.The arrival of Zhang Qingping can be regarded as a solution to Wang Xifeng's big headache. Brother Peng has reached the age of enlightenment and has no serious master. He only relies on sister Qiao to hand in some three-character scriptures.
