Practical Life in the Red Mansion

After sending Mu Zheng away, Daiyu took a sip of tea and felt that her skin was not so hot. When she turned her head and saw Lin Yun looking at her sadly, Daiyu hurriedly asked what was wrong.

Lin Yun was dissatisfied and said: "Sister took care of talking to him." Daiyu said: "I haven't said why you are so rude today, Brother Mu saved you, you should thank him, why do you swear by him?" , and stared at him."

Lin Yun pouted and said, "Who told him to snatch my sister?" After hearing Lin Yun's words, Daiyu couldn't help but think of Mu Zheng's every move, her heart jumped wildly again, her face turned red again, and her face turned red again. Shy and annoyed, he said to Lin Yun: "You can eat alone." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

Lin Yun was stunned, and Zhu Xuan whispered when he saw this, "Master Mu is the girl's fiancé-in-law. The second master said carelessly that he was going to take the girl away. The girl was ashamed and left after hearing this. She was not the one who gave birth to the second master." I'm angry, the girl is thin-skinned, the second master can just go and coax the girl, but it can't be in Timu."

Lin Yun didn't care about Daiyu's attitude, but just wondered why she suddenly provoked her sister. After hearing Zhu Xuan's words, she understood, and snorted, "I won't mention him." Daiyu.

After Jia Min came back, she rubbed Lin Yun for a while, and after listening to Mu Zheng's words relayed by Daiyu, although she was a little worried in her heart, she didn't show it: "Your father is conscientious, so he won't be involved. "Jia Min was a little tired when he came back from incense. After eating, he drove Lin Yun and Daiyu back to rest early.

But Daiyu couldn't sleep anymore, and couldn't help opening her jewelry box. Yao Huang also belonged to Zhang Lai's family, and was still the manager of Daiyu's house. He was in charge of Daiyu's jewelry and other things, and asked with a smile: "What is the girl looking for, I will help the girl to find it." Daiyu closed the jewelry box and said, "It's nothing, so I suddenly wanted to see what jewelry I brought over."

Zhang Lai's family knew that Mu Zheng had been here during the day, and that Daiyu's abnormality had nothing to do with Mu Zheng. After thinking about it for a while, she knew what Daiyu was looking for. This year is Daiyu's birth year, so Daiyu celebrates her birthday At that time, Mu Zheng also gave a red agate bracelet, which was nothing but a lamb carved in suet and white jade, which fit Daiyu's zodiac sign.

It was clearly carved by Mu Zheng himself. At that time, Mu Zheng and Daiyu hadn't kissed each other yet, and Daiyu was put away just by looking at it. Now, Daiyu wanted to find it out without telling anyone. Zhang Lai's family couldn't help laughing secretly at Daiyu's youngest daughter's thoughts, thinking that they would find it and secretly put it in Daiyu's jewelry box after returning home.

Shen Lu was in charge of interrogating the members of the Zhen family in Beijing. Few people escaped his tricks. Within two or three people, he obtained a dozen thick confessions. Both those who were impeached and those who were not impeached spit out their mouths .Shen Lu handed it over to the emperor without even looking at it.

The emperor turned a few pages and showed a playful smile: "I gave the Jia family 50 taels of silver to repair the yard." The emperor sneered: "The Zhen family is really rich." Shen Lv frowned and said: "Do you want Refresh the Jia family." The emperor shook his head and said: "Now is not the time, there is no need to hurt the jade bottle because of the mouse, just give it."

Neither the emperor nor Shen Lu believed that the Zhen family would really give the Jia family so much money, but the emperor didn't want to involve the Jia family and then the Lin family, so he didn't intend to pursue this matter, and the emperor was confident that even if it was behind the scenes, People with such money can't do much with it.

However, the emperor was still a little curious. It was the person who could make the Zhen family send the money across the sea, so he ordered Shen Lv: "You don't have to do anything, just let Lin Yang go back and check on Jia She, and see if Jia She knows. In addition, the Jia family originally His daughter-in-law belongs to Yizhong's family, follow this clue to find out if there is any lingering crime."

After Lin Yang heard the news, he hurriedly called Jia She to come out. Jia She was very happy, thinking that Lin Yang was looking for him to drink again, but seeing Lin Yang's serious face, he became flustered, and hurriedly asked. whats the matter.

Lin Yang didn't make a fool of himself and said, "Zhen Yingjia spit out that he sent 50 taels of silver to your family. That's official money. Does uncle know what the crime is for ignoring the official money? If I hadn't gotten the news first, I'm afraid it would be all right now." It's time to visit uncle in prison."

Jia Amnesty broke out in a cold sweat and said, "50 taels, no, no, it's impossible." Lin Yang asked, "Then how did your garden be repaired? After your family has paid back the money owed to the treasury, do you still have money?" It’s impossible to build this garden.” Jia Amnesty stood up quickly and said, “Good nephew, wait for me to ask when I go back.” Lin Yang nodded and said, “It’s better for uncle to give me a letter of approval earlier, otherwise, point out It's not certain when Jin Yiwei will come to the door."

Jia Amnesty returned home in a panic and went straight to Jia Mu's yard. Once inside, she angrily drove away the people in the house. Jia Mu was a little displeased and said, "Are you coming to my house to show off?" She said angrily, "The knife is already on the neck, and mother still cares about it."

Jia Mu's face turned pale after she said a word, and she let the people in the house go out, her voice trembling: "What do you know?" Jia Amnesty raised his hand and said, "50 taels, the Zhen family said they gave 50 taels to our family. "

Jia's mother said sharply: "There is no such thing, where did you hear it?" Jia Amnesty also said loudly: "Why is mother still lying to me?" She gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "Brother Yang secretly told me Yes, Jin Yiwei has already obtained Zhen Yingjia's confession, and he only revealed a little bit because of the affection of his brother-in-law and nephew, let us be prepared."

Jia's mother thought about it, and her heart was in a panic. Where is Jinyiwei? It's the emperor's canine teeth. How could it be hidden from the emperor? The emperor must have known about it, but Lin Yang came to tell it, it must be read Out of love, she planned to let Jia's family go. Thinking of this, she felt much calmer. She said calmly, "I gave a sum of money, but it was only 20 taels."

Jia Amnesty jumped up from his seat when he heard this: "Mother dares to accept such a sum of money, but you know that the money comes from corruption and bribery." Thinking about spending money, what do I know as an old woman? Seeing that the Zhen family has sent money, thinking about their family’s great fortune and their children and grandchildren’s future prospects, I just want to thank them for their old love and help me, so I don’t want to care about the money. way of origin."

Jia Amnesty was so blocked that he couldn't speak. He walked up and down the hall anxiously and said, "What should I do, mother, I have to return the money." Jia Mu said, "The family can't get it anymore. The money has come, if you think about it, just treat this family business as it is, anyway, you are a person who raids the title, I will not stop you."

Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing angrily when he heard Mother Jia's scoundrel words, "Since I have mother's permission, my son will sell horses in the street."

Mother Jia was dissatisfied with what Jia She had done before, so she said such rogue words, but she pinched Jia She's Achilles heel. Jia She is the head of the Jia family. Jia She should bear the responsibility for the crime, and Jia She had to pay it back, and Jia's mother also said that she would follow Jia She to make troubles, as long as her private house was not touched, she didn't care.

Jia Amnesty wanted to understand this and said: "Isn't mother willing to think about her children and grandchildren?" Jia's mother sneered and said, "I will pay 5 taels, and the rest will come from the public. Master Jia is satisfied." Mother Jia didn't want to tear her face apart with her son, so she paid 5 taels. When Jia She heard that Mother Jia would give money, and he had never had the confidence in front of Mother Jia, she vented her anger when she heard Mother Jia's cold words. I was so angry that I didn't care about the entanglement anymore, so I left in a hurry.

Tanchun and the others were originally entertaining relatives in front of Jia Mu, but when they saw Jia Amnesty rushing over and angrily driving them out, they knew something had happened, so Tanchun kept an eye out and avoided going to the next room. Shi Shi stood behind the carved door, vaguely listening to the conversation between Jiamu and Jia Amnesty.

After Jia Amnesty left, the few of them came out. Mother Jia was tired and in no mood to chat with them, so she let them go back. Tanchun originally went out with Baoyu and others, but when she looked back and saw Mother Jia's expression was gloomy, she remembered Jia Zheng and Jia Mu are the only ones in the family who can overwhelm Mrs. Wang in making decisions about their own marriage. Jia Zheng has always been filial.

Tanchun gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Jiamu: "The granddaughter has a few words to say to the old ancestor." Jiamu beckoned for her to continue, and Tanchun said: "The granddaughter has been taking care of the housework for a few days. I can't afford that much money anymore, my uncle can only sell his property in order to raise money, the granddaughter is afraid that this matter will be known to everyone, the cousin of the Lin family reminded the uncle, most likely to let the uncle quietly If the big uncle pays back the money with great fanfare, it will not live up to the kindness of the Lin family's cousin."

Only then did Jia's mother look at her granddaughter, and seeing her with her head down but her back straight, she suddenly became interested and said, "Then what can you do?" Tanchun said, "My granddaughter is dull and can't think of any good way It's just that if the uncle wants to be filial, he still needs you, the ancestor, to persuade him, so that he can take care of the good intentions of the Lin family and maintain the dignity of the empress in the palace."

Tanchun reminded Mother Jia that if word spread that the garden of Concubine Xiande's house was built with borrowed money, Concubine Xiande would become a joke in the palace, and what's more, Concubine Xiande would be extravagant and ignorant of frugality. to criticize her.

After Tanchun finished speaking, he didn't hear Jia Mu's reply for a long time. Just when his legs felt numb, Jia Mu's kind words came from above his head: "Good boy, it's hard for you to be so thoughtful at such a young age." The mother stretched out her hand to help Tanchun up and said, "Yuanyang, quickly take out my set of red gold phoenix hairpins with rubies inlaid."

Tanchun hurriedly declined and said: "I am a girl of the Jia family, and it is my duty to solve the family's worries and problems. How can I covet the things of my ancestors." After hearing this, Jia's mother was even more satisfied: "You are also a big girl. It's time to dress up too, I'll give it to you, you just take it." After listening to Jia Mu's words, Tan Chun knew that Jia Mu began to consider her marriage in her heart, so she felt relieved.
