[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

The serious crime committed by the second room of the Rong Mansion, "covering the murderous suspect and the most important criminal in private nest", sounds extremely serious, but the fact is very simple: Baochai once hired Xie Xiaochuan for her restaurant business.

Liu Mei thought everything through, and she understood in her heart, but she just wanted to impose a crime, and there was no reason to worry about it.

The second room of the Jia Mansion was implicated by the Yuanchun incident, so it was doomed.The royal family found an excuse from Baochai and wanted to punish a felony.This dealt a heavy blow to Baochai, who had always imagined that "the good wind will send me to Qingyun by force"—in this Grand View Garden, she could barely be regarded as a sober person. I tried my best to help the ship that was about to sink to set its course and start driving again.But now, she got such an ironic result.

In the original book, it was Wang Xifeng who gave us usury money and took over the lawsuit, causing disaster and feeling ashamed, but now the person who caused the disaster became Xue Baochai.

With the order of the official of the Jinyi Army, the people involved in the case of the second room of the Rong Mansion's long house have been escorted out one after another.

Because of the different crimes, the person in the long room only took Jia Amnesty, but the second room went all the way to the end. Besides Jia Zheng, Baoyu and others, there were Mrs. Wang, Baochai, Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan, Xiren and so on.

Among the female relatives, Mrs. Wang has been crying silently, while Aunt Zhao screamed and scolded, tearing her hair and spitting. It's not going to save me if I see you die.

Baochai's complexion was pale, but she still stood upright, her hair was combed neatly, and she tried her best to maintain her demeanor.It's just that a Jinyi soldier reached out to lock her up, Baochai was still startled, let out a soft cry, and jumped back a small step, avoiding the arm of the Jinyi soldier like a snake or a scorpion.

Baoyu took a step from the side and protected Baochai.

At the same time, Shiqing also said, "This case has not yet been tried, and the saint has not been convicted. The female family members are not allowed to insult you. Zhao Tangguan, you use this to restrain your subordinates. If you make any mistakes, I will protect you." There is no longer a black veil on the head."

Shi Qing said these words lightly, but there was a strong sense of deterrence in his tone.The hall official surnamed Zhao was startled, he knew that Prince Zhongshun had always been ruthless in his actions and would follow his words, and he had always stood on the side of the holy will, which was highly valued by the saints and could not be offended.At that moment, the official hurriedly gave orders to restrain his subordinates, and asked again: "According to the holy decree, all the people involved in the case in the Rong Mansion will be transferred to the Prison Temple and put in prison pending trial. The rest of the Jia Mansion who are irrelevant will move out of the house immediately. Rong Ning Second Mansion His Royal Highness Prince Zhongshun will take over."

Under the eaves of Rongxi Hall, all the people of Rongfu stood densely. Hearing Tangguan Zhao's question, the courtyard fell silent for a moment, and no one dared to answer.

"All property in the mansion was copied and confiscated. In addition, the roster was quickly obtained, and the servants and maidservants on the roster in the mansion were sold on the spot." Zhao Tangguan said without mercy.

At this time, the servants of the Mansion gave up all hope, and burst into tears for a while.

Shiqing turned to Tangguan Zhao and said, "To tell you the truth, the second son of Jia's mansion did me a favor a few days ago, and I owe him a favor."

Zhao Tangguan's attitude towards Shiqing was extremely dog-legged, he smiled all over his face, bent down and bowed to Shiqing, and said with fists in his arms: "Your Highness, please just give orders, as long as it does not violate the will of the saint, everything is easy to talk about." , so to speak..."

When Shiqing heard the words, he knew that Tangguan Zhao killed the saint's will, so he knew that there was not much room for change.

Next to him was Jia Zheng who wept and bowed down to Shiqing, crying, "Your Highness, please don't dare to forget your kindness. I just ask His Highness to help the doctor and take care of her because of the bad things about the old lady in the mansion. two."

Shiqing looked at Tangguan Zhao: "The sage has always ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, but the old lord of Jia's mansion still has his mandate, so what does the hall official think?"

Tangguan Zhao was very naughty, seeing that it was Jia Mu who was mentioned, he just cupped his hands and said: "Since Your Highness has taken over Ningrong Second Mansion, everything will be done according to His Highness's orders."

While speaking, everyone in the Rong Mansion was escorted away, while the servants were locked up and sold one by one according to the roster.

Liu Mei didn't find her sister Liu Wu'er for a while, she was looking around, when she turned her head, she suddenly saw a big maid beside Baoyu, it was not Xiren, but Wu'er.For a moment, the two sisters looked at each other and passed each other.

Liu Mei was startled, just about to turn around and take a step, suddenly heard a sharp voice shouting in the middle of the noise: "Isn't that Meier?"

Liu Mei heard it and recognized the voice of the Chen family's aunt.

"Mei'er, please send a message to your mother, quickly... Hurry up and find a way to redeem me...Mei'er, help my aunt and beg your mother!" The aunt of the Chen family was locked by the Jinyi Army and was pushing outside.

Seeing Aunt Chen begging so hard, Liu Mei couldn't help feeling touched.

At the beginning, Mother Liu had persuaded this younger sister with good words, and wanted her to leave the mansion with her. Unexpectedly, Aunt Chen was greedy for the comfort and comfort of the mansion, so she stayed, but she didn't know that she was facing a catastrophe today.

She will definitely bring this to Mother Liu, but Liu Mei intends to leave the decision of redemption or not to her mother, and she will never interfere.

For a while, Jin Yijun left Rongguo Mansion with the box and cage money seized by Jia Mansion.

Shiqing has already ordered those chief historians to invite the imperial physician to consult the Shi Taijun of Jia's mansion.

The imperial decree ordered that the Rongguo Mansion be confiscated. Jia Mu and others should have moved out immediately, but because of Jia Mu's illness, Shi Qing postponed it for three days, and agreed to hand over the mansion in three days.It's just that Rong Mansion, like Ning Mansion, has already become an empty shell, and the handover after three days is just a formality.

At this time, Jia's mansion had no male master who could stand up.

Jia amnesty, Jia Zheng, Bao Yu and Jia Huan were all imprisoned in the temple awaiting trial. Jia Lian was dead, and Jia Lan had moved out of Jia's mansion with her mother half a month ago and went to her mother's Li family.

Therefore, it was Jia Yun and Lin Xiaohong who handed over the Rong Mansion and helped to make arrangements.

At this time, Mrs. Shi of Jia's Mansion had already moved into a small courtyard that Ping'er had bought earlier under the service of Ping'er and Yuanyang, which was regarded as a place to stay.This courtyard has always been hung under the name of Jia Yun and his wife, just like Na Hongshun Building, it is not considered the wealth of the Rong family, so it was not copied or confiscated.

Mrs. Shi's belongings were not completely confiscated on the day the house was raided, and some of them were brought out, which can still support the day.It's just that the old lady has already been hit hard by the incident in Yuanchun, and she has already experienced the catastrophe of the Ningrong Second Mansion being copied, so she has long been unable to support her. Just days.

And Ping'er is guarding this small courtyard, leading sister Qiao and Hu Geer to live peacefully, it seems that the people of Ningrong Second House have nothing to do with them.

Liu Mei was at Shiqing's place, and found out the boundaries of the Prison Temple, and planned to visit Baoyu and the others.

She found a lot of things that Baoyu and others could use, as well as money and silk to manage, and drove to the Prison Temple in the car that Shiqing had prepared for her.

At the Prison Temple, Shiqing had also greeted her in advance, so the Jia family and his party were allowed to visit.

Before entering the prison temple, Liu Mei gave a few taels of silver to the guards.The jailer was very happy and said, "What kind of good luck is it today, that I got reward money three times?"

Liu Mei raised her eyebrows, three rewards?

Is there anyone else who came to visit the people in Jia's house?

"Here, the single room of the second master of Jia's mansion is over there. This is really strange. After entering this prison temple, few people can go out with their tails intact, so there are always few people visiting. Why is this Second Master Bao, with so many people coming to visit, why are you still calling him 'Grandfather'?"

Liu Mei entered the Prison Temple and walked towards the direction pointed by the jailer. Before she could raise her eyes, she heard a long-lost voice.

"Second Master Bao!"

"Sixue—"

When Liu Mei heard it, unconsciously, her eyes became sour.

"Qianxue... I didn't expect it to be you... Back then, I back then..." Baoyu had already burst into tears when she said this.

Back then I drove you out of a fit of anger, but today I am in trouble, and it is you who can ignore the past and come to visit me again.

Baoyu's words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

It was Qianxue who spoke first, "Second Master, what happened back then, why should I care about it? I brought some clothes and fabrics today. I think Grandpa and Grandma are going out in a hurry. I don't have so many clothes to keep out the cold..."

But Baoyu didn't care about these at all, and only asked Qianxue through the fence, "Qianxue... all these years...how are you?"

Qianxue still had that gentle temperament, when she heard Baoyu's urgent question, she just smiled and didn't say much.

Instead, a crisp and bright voice next to her spoke, and Dai Qianxue replied, "Is Sister Qianxue doing well? We are all under her now."

Liu Mei's heart felt hot when she heard it, it was Fang Guan's voice.

Why is Fangguan and Qianxue together?

At this time, someone looked up and saw Liu Mei, and hurriedly stabbed Fang Guan, saying, "Look who is here?"

Seeing Liu Mei, Fang Guan cheered happily, rushed up to hold Liu Mei's hand, and hurriedly asked, "How is Aunt Liu?"

Liu Mei raised her head and said with a smile, "I didn't expect it to be so complete today."

Besides Qianxue and Fangguan, there were still three people standing in front of her, Ouguan, Ruiguan and Lin Xiaohong.

Baoyu also greeted through the fence, "Meier..."

He has now been reduced to a prisoner, but when he saw the girls outside who were like a bunch of water onions, he had already forgotten his situation, stretched out his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and said, "Hello...you are the best."

In a few words, Liu Mei explained to Baoyu the situation of Jia Mu and others.Xiaohong listened and looked at her with a smile.Liu Mei knew that Xiaohong should have told Baoyu about the situation before and after.

After hearing this, Baoyu took a step back behind the iron bars of the fence, solemnly bowed down to several people, and said: "I, Baoyu, have no virtue or ability. Baoyu is so grateful to have my sisters and sisters treat each other so sincerely." do."

None of them accepted his courtesy, Qianxue and the others said that it was due to the old love.

Then Baoyu asked for help, and wanted to invite several people to visit Mrs. Wang, Baochai and others once.

Liu Mei, Qianxue and Xiaohong all knew that Baoyu was worried about his mother and wife, so they nodded in response.Zhifang Guan raised his head and said, "Miss Xiaohong, Meier, you go! I'll be waiting for you outside."

Baoyu, Liu Mei and others knew that Fangguan was still angry at Mrs. Wang's driving her out that day, and they couldn't persuade her, so they let her wait outside.

When they arrived at the women's prison, Liu Mei and others realized that Mrs. Wang and others were in a room for several people, and they were not treated as well as Baoyu, who could live in a single room.Liu Mei knew that it was Shiqing's sentence "I owe Baoyu a favor" that had an effect.

On the side of the female family members of Jia's family, it was all gloomy and gloomy.

The most noisy one was Aunt Zhao. She cried and laughed at times, and she would pull on the cell door and shout loudly, "My daughter is going to be a princess in the south."Liu Mei watched coldly from the side, thinking that this person had gone crazy.

Mrs. Wang, on the other hand, suffered from an eye disease in prison and was recuperating depressedly on the couch.Liu Mei guessed that this madam's eye disease was probably the result of crying too much.

The only one who can keep calm is Baochai.

She seems to have recovered from the infinite regret that day, and now she is taking care of the female family members of the Jia family in prison.

Liu Mei then gave Baochai the package that she had prepared in advance and was going to send to everyone in Jia's mansion to deal with the jailers, the only one who was still sober.

"Thank you Meier." Baochai thanked lightly.

"Your sister is here too, so it's not bad. She told me earlier that she doesn't want to see you, so you just send a message to the family, saying that she is fine, don't make your parents worry, so let it go!"

Liu Mei let out an "oh", and really didn't understand what kind of monster Wu'er was doing.

At this time, Baochai suddenly stretched out his hand, clasped Liu Mei's hand through the fence, and asked in a low voice, "Mei'er, answer me honestly, who did you give that gold medal to? We are locked in this prison." In the temple, why no one came to rescue, no one came to rescue?"

"Baoyu is kind to you, you must not just ignore death!" Baochai clasped her hands extremely tightly, as if all the sorrow and suffering that had been accumulated for many days burst out all at once.

In pain, Liu Mei went to remove Baochai's hand.Seeing Qianxue and Xiaohong next to her, they also came up to help, and the three of them worked hard together to break Baochai's hand, and then released Liu Mei.

Liu Mei looked at a deep purple fingerprint on her wrist, and she couldn't help but feel angry, so she raised her voice, "Could it be because of me that the Rong Mansion is like this?"

One sentence struck Baochai's mind, this always strong woman squatted down in front of Liu Mei slowly, hugged her shoulders, buried her head in her arms, and wept softly.

Liu Mei looked at Baochai in front of her - it was the first time she saw this Baochai like this.

In the nearby cell, Aunt Zhao's giggling voice rang out again strangely, covering Baochai's low sobs.

At such a time, a sober person is always in pain, the more sober he is, the more powerless he becomes, and the more powerless he is, the more painful it is—after Baochai married into Jia's mansion, I'm afraid she will always be in this state.

Liu Mei watched for a long time, finally couldn't bear it, and said calmly, "When the sage bestowed that gold medal, he once said that the person holding the gold medal should not ask for anything that violates the laws and regulations of the country. So..."

Baochai's soft sobs finally turned into silent sobs, but she still hugged her arms tightly, pinching her fingers deeply on her shoulder blades.She only heard Liu Mei whispering in her ears: "It's impossible to see death and not save him. However, whether we can be saved or not depends on the destiny."
