The World of Peace in the Red Mansion
Chapter 74
Mother Jia has been an old feudal monarch for decades, a super-class duke and wife, how can she stand being humiliated by a junior, and she immediately scowled and reprimanded her, she finally remembered that this is the palace, isn't it? Jia Fu.He could only bear with his anger and said: "Yu'er, this is your rule. The Zhen family is the loyal prince's natal family. Enemies should be resolved rather than knotted. Grandmother is doing this for your own good." While speaking, she was trembling with anger.
Seeing this, Daiyu smiled wryly. Grandmother really thought she was a fool, and there was nothing more to say after the matter was over.Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly and said coldly: "I don't know anything about the affairs of the court, but my father is just and strict, so naturally I won't wrong anyone. Grandmother, please come back, but Yu'er will not see you off." Immediately, a snow goose came forward to ask Jia Mu to leave.
Jiamu's eyes lost the kindness of the past, she stared at Daiyu deeply for a long time before saying, "This is really my good granddaughter, now that she has climbed a high branch and doesn't like me as an old woman, that's very good." walk away.
Xueyan looked at Daiyu's pale face worriedly and said in a low voice, "Girl!"
She waved her hand, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It's not in the way, remember not to talk about it." Xue Yan was unhappy, why didn't she say it, this Jia Mu is too much, bullying the girl like this.But meeting Shang Daiyu's stern eyes, he finally swallowed the words and agreed.
After this incident, Daiyu completely gave up on Jia's family. If she didn't even care about her own daughter's life or death, how could she care about her granddaughter? Her surname was Lin, not Jia, but looking at it now, she was mistaken, so what if her surname was Jia, and her mother's surname was Jia, which couldn't compare to the power and wealth of the Jia family.
Although I understand it in my heart, I don't change my mind after all.Although Xueyan was ordered not to publicize this matter, but her mood changed, Zhen'er naturally noticed it, and only guessed that it must be something Jia Mu said that caused this, but Daiyu didn't want to say that she couldn't do anything about it.
Zhen'er was still thinking about how to coax Daiyu to show her beauty, and Jia's mother returned without success on Daiyu's head, so naturally those people would not be willing to stop there.
A few days ago at the court meeting, a censor impeached Lin Hai for accepting bribes during his term of office, which caused a lot of waves.Although Lin Hai has a very high reputation in Jiangnan Shilin, there are fights wherever there are people. It is not a lie that Lin Hai has passed away and people take tea to cool down.The second is that since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other. When Lin Haichu went there, he was too popular, even if he was dissatisfied, it was hard to say it, but now it may not be so.
What about the posthumous title bestowed by the emperor? How many civil servants and military generals have been liquidated after death in ancient and modern times.Naturally, there are such pedantic villains who can't see people well.
However, Lin Hai is not without help in the court, and his old friends from the same department and officials from Jiangnan will not watch him be impeached.
There was no end to disputes in the court, and Cheng Xiao's expression hadn't been better since the censor appeared.The cold and serious aura made those who were close already a little startled.
He is a general, so he naturally stands in the ranks of generals. Civil servants and generals rarely get along well. Since this is a matter for civil servants, the generals are mostly watching the fun, but now that there is one more in the ranks of generals, I'm afraid the excitement is just watching It can't be done.
Naturally, he quickly remembered that this fiancée was Lin Hai. Lin Hai's son-in-law would naturally not sit idly by.
Of course Cheng Xiao didn't intend to ignore it, but when he was about to come out, he was calmly pulled.
The emperor wanted to be annoyed by the quarrel, and after a scolding, he walked away, and all the officials knelt on the ground.
The court meeting broke up unhappy, but Cheng Xiao was invited into the imperial study.Not only him, but also Zhongshun, Prince of Beijing and Shen Jinyu.
When he saw the last one, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and stood aside after paying respects to the emperor.
No matter what the emperor did, it was impossible for loyal people to ruin Lin Hai's reputation, but the problem now was that the Lin family had no heirs, and Lin Hai only had one daughter.
Cheng Xiao's intention was naturally for him to come forward. The marriage contract between him and Daiyu has already been agreed, since it is suitable for him to be the son-in-law, but the emperor hesitated.Being a superior is a technique of balance.It may not be appropriate for Cheng Xiao to get too close to civil servants because of this.
Just when the emperor was hesitating, Shen Jinyu proposed another candidate, Xu Cheng, the master of heaven and earth, he is the only student of Lin Hai, and it is also possible to stand up for the teacher.And Daiyu can't go to the palace, but it would be even better if she could write a memorial by herself.
This was intended for Daiyu, Cheng Xiao glanced at Shen Jinyu, and reconsidered the suggestion.Since Cheng Xiao had no objection, and the emperor felt it was appropriate, he naturally handed over the matter to Cheng Xiao and Shen Jinyu.
After leaving the palace, Cheng Xiao and Shen Jinyu said, "Congratulations to brother Shen yet." Not everyone can be present when the emperor discusses matters. This alone shows that although Shen Jinyu's official position is relatively low, the emperor relies heavily on him.
Shen Jinyu smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is so kind, what should I do? Brother Cheng's injury is better?"
"It's just a little injury, but it's already fine. I owe you a favor for what happened this time." Cheng Xiao said casually.
Shen Jinyu's face remained unchanged and he said indifferently: "The favor of Deputy Commander Cheng is very rare, but this time it has happened twice in a row. Master Cheng thinks how to pay it back?"
Cheng Xiao coughed, and then said calmly: "Master Shen, you can wait and bring it up when you need it." Shen Jinyu shook his head slightly as he spoke in plain language, "If that's the case, then keep it and trouble Cheng when I need it." Brother. I’ll go to Brother Xu first, and Miss Lin will leave it to Brother Cheng.”
The past is over, but he is very open and forthright, and when he speaks out generously, Cheng Xiao naturally nods in response.The two parted at the intersection, each going to one side.
Daiyu was still puzzled, why did Cheng Xiao suddenly come to the door like this, you must know that because of Zhen'er's dislike, there was a lot of trouble between the two of them, of course it is harmless, and it can also be regarded as a joke between brothers and sisters.
When Cheng Xiao explained the matter, she was silent in a low voice and finally sighed. She told Cheng Xiao about the Jia family's visit. trouble.Sure enough, when these words came out, Cheng Xiao frowned slightly, but soon calmed down and said: "This Mrs. Jia is too selfish, Yu'er, don't be sad."
"I originally thought that my grandmother would always treat me with some kind of sincerity, but I didn't think that this kind of sincerity is really too little, and it is nothing in front of Jia's family." With a wry smile, Daiyu said leisurely.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiao felt distressed and hurriedly said: "Since she is like this, just ignore her, there is always me, um, and the concubine and princess." I didn't want to mention it, but I was afraid that Daiyu would be unhappy, so I reluctantly Count Zhen'er in it.It's just that he secretly thought in his heart: I just found a few suitable candidates, and I'll talk to my concubine when this matter is over tomorrow.
Daiyu's face turned red when she heard the words, but the corners of her mouth were raised slightly, she just didn't look at Cheng Xiao.He got up and said, "I'll go prepare the memorial." After saying that, he left Cheng Xiao and left.
Tell him to regret it, if he knew it earlier, he would mention it later.Right now, I can only sit alone.
After only a while, Zijuan Xiangxue sent out a fruit with a smile on her face, saying that it was Daiyu. Cheng Xiao immediately became happy when he heard the words, and looked at Zijuan with a friendly face.
The matter of Lin Hai's participation cannot be left undecided.Lin's father wrote the memorial, and Xu Cheng played in front of the emperor in the name of Lin Hai's disciple, refuting some people's shameless behavior and protecting Lin Hai's reputation.
In fact, this matter has long been no longer a problem in the eyes of smart people. The reason for participating in a dead person is only because the evidence left by Lin Hai convicted the Zhen family. If you want to exonerate the Zhen family, you must first prove the evidence in Lin Hai's hands. is fake.One link is one link, but it is a pity that today is different from the past.The emperor's power is growing day by day, how can they let them succeed.
Even the loyal and ups and downs couldn't get the Zhen family out. Xu Cheng argued in court and became famous in one fell swoop, and the world praised him for his kindness.Suddenly, the threshold of the Xu family was about to be breached, and he was so frightened that he hid out.
After seeing Daiyu, she complained even more, and said: "It's clear that Shen Jinyu and Cheng Xiao cheated on me. This is something they can't do."
Seeing him like this, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said: "Senior brother too, he just came to visit because of his reputation, you are not ruining his good intentions by doing this."
"That's not the case." They clearly have a purpose, but they can't say that. He is not young but has never married a wife. I don't know what these people think. Nine out of ten want to be matchmakers. Thinking of this, Cheng Xiao wanted to sigh even more.If he hadn't been unable to let go of Daiyu, he would have already run out of Beijing by now.
Daiyu naturally didn't know what Xu Cheng was thinking, anyway, it was rare for senior brother to come to see her, so naturally she didn't mention these unhappy things, and naturally talked about other things.
If it is said that the most eye-catching thing in Beijing today, it is not that the whole family of Zhen's family was escorted back to Beijing.In the end this involves too much, it may not be easy to mention.But it's a big gossip, the Jia family, who has always claimed to be the family of the father's family, has split up.
Xijue's eldest son has been living by the stables and endured it for many years, but he didn't expect to be forced to separate the family now.This excitement naturally aroused a lot of discussion among the people in Beijing, and the daughter of the Jia family's second bedroom was still a concubine in the palace, so the sudden separation of the family was a bit strange.
However, it is difficult for outsiders to know the details. They only know that the family has been successfully divided, and everyone in Beijing wonders how Mrs. Shi of Jia's family will accept this matter.
Xu Chengyuan was a little hesitant to tell Daiyu about this, but he didn't expect her to know about it long ago.
"How does junior sister know?" Xu Cheng frowned slightly.
Daiyu smiled faintly: "Senior brother, I really think I don't know everything. Everyone in the capital knows it, so I don't know. Senior brother, don't worry, the Jia family's affairs are naturally under the care of the Jia family, so naturally it doesn't matter to me." Even though he said so, it was not someone else who told him about it, but someone from the Jia family said it.But it's not Jia's mother, but the second room of Jia's family.
Outsiders don't know the reason for this family division, but Daiyu knows it.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang sided with the Zhen family for their own reasons, intending to help the Zhen family get rid of the crime, but failed to beg Daiyu, and even accepted the Zhen family's finances.This matter was known to Jia Lian, the Zhen family was only escorted back to Beijing, they had not been convicted yet, and Prince Zhong Zhong was still there, so he didn't know what to do.Naturally, he wanted to ask someone for advice, so he called Wang Xifeng to come and see Daiyu, and asked what he might know.
Daiyu didn't want to say anything and only said a few words of comfort, she just mentioned the Zhen family and said that they deserved what they deserved.Daiyu reckoned that Jia Lian probably did not want to be implicated, so the family was divided.It's just that she didn't know that there was another person's handwriting in it.
Cheng Xiao kept in mind Jia's mother's scheme against Daiyu, and naturally wanted to retaliate, and Jia Lian's action made him notice it.Finding an opportunity to find Jia Lian, it doesn't need to be too much. It is a crime to secretly hide the wealth of an official's family, so let Jia Lian take care of it.
Jia Lian was working in the Ministry of Punishment, so he naturally knew what kind of crime it was. Since the Zhen family was doomed, no matter what, he didn't want to implicate his family.But this matter was done by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, regardless of other things, I am afraid that if I say it, I may not be willing to listen.Thinking that it was the Second Household who had been in the spotlight these years, maybe the First Household would be implicated by them.
Jia Lian gritted his teeth and approached Jia Amnesty. The big house beat Jia Lian and entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and put more restraint on him. Although I dare not say that there is no use of power, there is absolutely no serious crime.Jia Amnesty naturally didn't want her family's good life to be affected, and then thought of Jia's mother's partiality for so many years.As soon as he was cruel, he asked Jia's mother to separate the family. At first, Jia's mother was naturally unwilling, but Jia pardoned Jia Lian and came prepared.If the family is not separated, Mrs. Wang will be accused of hiding the prisoner's finances and privately lending interest.
If one is always implicated, it is better to ask for mercy, maybe it is a lax family management, and it is not him who sits down, but the virtuous concubine in the palace may not be able to get better in the future.
I never imagined that Jia She would take this as a threat, and she had the evidence in hand. Even though Jia's mother was half dead from anger, there was nothing she could do. In her opinion, the concubine Xiande was the Jia family's greatest reliance, and she could only promise Jia She for this. The matter of separation.
It's just that she will never let the second room suffer. Generally, the eldest son and the youngest son are separated, and Xijue's eldest son always gets the big head, but when it comes to Jia's family, it is fifty-fifty.Although Jia Amnesty was dissatisfied, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it when he saw that he could get into his hands anyway.
The division of the family is only the property of the public, and Jiamu's private house has not been touched.She had always loved Baoyu, but now she is more and more unwilling to leave it to the first wife. Jia Amnesty originally wanted to drive the second wife out. Jia Mu's private house may not be his in the future.But of course Mother Jia didn't want to. Although the family was separated, she still asked the second bedroom to live in this mansion, saying that there was no suitable house, and if Jia Amnesty forced her, she would follow.For the sake of filial piety, Jia Amnesty didn't dare to push too much, so he just remained stiff.
This play in Jia's Mansion is very exciting, and there are many stories in it that are passed on by outsiders, but most of them are covered up and not told to spread outside.It's rare that Jia's mother was ruthless, but it worked.
But outsiders don't know, but some people know, such as Cheng Xiao.Because of the small thoughts in his heart, Cheng Xiao seemingly unintentionally told Daiyu about the Jia family's affairs, of course he didn't reveal that broken stone, Jia Baoyu.
If the division of the Jia family had the greatest impact on anyone, it must be Jia Baoyu.Now that the family is separated, the Grand View Garden cannot be lived in, and the maids around can't stay so many.
Since the man had a dementia and started to make a fuss, it really made people don't know what to say.Cheng Xiao also pretended to be innocent and sighed: "This cousin from the Jia family is a flower cherisher." Bian said that she secretly glanced at Daiyu, wanting to see her expression.
Daiyu is not stupid, there is nothing wrong with it, this person is narrow-minded, because of what happened last time, he despises the Jia family, and he himself is not good at anything, but then something feels wrong.It's clearly intentional to get involved with the second cousin and those other things.
"If your son is envious, you can find some and be a flower cherisher." Daiyu looked at him with a half-smile.
Cheng Xiao immediately corrected his posture, "I'm just worried about how my second cousin will be able to support the family business in the future if he is so spoiled." She said while looking at Daiyu, "I only take one ladle for three thousand, and I only want to pity the person in front of me. I can't see any of those flowers."
This is still a military commander, he is clearly a disciple.Daiyu's cheeks turned red instantly.But this time she didn't get up and run away in shame, Cheng Xiao was hit by a fruit.
Looking back, who is the angry face, Zhen'er?Zhen'er stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Daiyu's hand and said angrily to Cheng Xiao, "Don't think that my sister can be bullied by you because she has no parents. If you go out, you will never see her in the future." Taking advantage of Cheng Xiao's shock When he lived, he took Daiyu and ran away.
Cheng Xiao wiped his face helplessly, and he couldn't help laughing from behind him, he turned his head and stared at the third son of Mingxuan Palace who couldn't stop laughing, but his eyes were useless.
"Enough of laughing, I asked you to help, and that's how you help?" Cheng Xiao said in a low voice.
The third son, Tu Kun, spread his hands with a smile and said: "I can't blame me for this, and my sister is not stupid, so I don't care about it twice this time." He walked over and put his hand on Cheng Xiao's shoulder and said, "Tell third brother quickly, Where did you learn these love words. I really can't see that fourth brother is still a lover."
It's a pity that Cheng Xiao's cold face hit him in the stomach as soon as he finished speaking, and he bent down in pain. This was too cruel.
Cheng Xiao didn't bother to talk to him, his words were for Yu'er, so it's reasonable for you shameless eavesdroppers.It's just that thinking about the feeling of occupying Yu'er all day long and making him trip up doesn't make her feel better.
He only had one firm thought that he must send this person away from Yu'er, but unfortunately he sent a few people to the concubine mother, but the concubine mother didn't agree, it really made him helpless.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or good luck, when Cheng Xiao secretly picked a son-in-law for his sister in name, Shen Jinyu approached him and recommended a candidate for him.
Although Zhen'er was dissatisfied, all Cheng Xiao could do was to choose a good husband-in-law for her, not to be perfunctory.Whether it is to see Yu'er or the concubine mother.
The person recommended by Shen Jinyu is not bad, it is very good, but there are problems, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "It is rare, but they may not be suitable."
This is a mysterious statement, but it may not be appropriate, how can it be called appropriate?Shen Jinyu sighed, put down the cup in his hand and said, "Actually, there is something else going on here, but I can't tell if it involves other people. Why don't you ask him yourself?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao pondered for a moment before finally agreeing, it is obvious that this person should intend to marry Zhen'er, why?
Since the person involved was willing to come forward, Cheng Xiao didn't ask Shen Jinyu any further, the two just made an appointment to meet again, and Cheng Xiao could ask Shen Jinyu at that time.
Daiyu basically didn't leave since she moved into Mingxuan Palace, she just went back to Lin's Mansion for a few days, and then was brought back by Zhen'er's envoy.Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Hongxia and the girl from the Lin family are good, but one has no parents, and the other is favored by the princess, and no one objects to living together.
In their free time, they enjoyed themselves in the mansion, or attended the banquet in the boudoir in Beijing, and even entered the palace to greet the Empress Dowager, because they entered and exited together.The sisters are not like this either, after all some gossip is spread.Fortunately, it doesn't hinder anything, it doesn't look like it after all.
The concubine didn't feel anything before, but now she also felt that it was inappropriate, especially when Cheng Xiao made a few grievances in front of her, which made her smile even more wryly.
It's not that Daiyu is ignorant of all those gossips, it's just that she is fair and at ease, she is whatever she is anyway, and she never wronged her sisters because of other people's words, so naturally she didn't take it to heart.
The chess board was set up, and the two played chess in the garden. Daiyu held the sunspots. Although she had a delicate mind, she lacked decisiveness.The chess game became anxious.Daiyu turned around to drink tea and saw Zijuan coming over holding a food box and asking, "Why are you holding this well?"
Zijuan smiled and said: "If you go back to the girl, this is from my uncle. The dim sum from Baiwei Pavilion, the girl ate well last time, and my uncle bought it specially." The craftsmanship of the old shop for many years is also rare.
But what is even more rare is that people are caring. Zijuan put out some snacks, some of which are Daiyu's favorites.Seeing Daiyu's shy smile, Zhen'er gasped for breath and stopped playing chess, just grabbed a piece of dessert and took a bite.
Daiyu just pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't speak, she was much better than before, but Zhen'er was just childish and used to fighting.
"Did the son go back?" Daiyu turned around and asked Zijuan, because Cheng Xiao's slip of the tongue was heard by Zhen'er last time, and she promised not to allow her to see him in private, only that he bullied her.
Zijuan said with a smile, "My lord is still waiting outside, do you want to let me in?" Although she answered Daiyu's words, she looked at Zhen'er.
Seeing this, Zhen'er just pretended not to see it, and turned her head to look elsewhere.But he took another piece of snack in his hand unceremoniously.
"No need, just thank you." After a pause, she said in a slightly lower voice, "Send him the kit and call it a gift of thanks." Mostly feeling embarrassed, Daiyu turned her head away after finishing speaking. Turning his head, he also picked up the snack and tasted it in small bites.
Letting Zijuan purse his lips, although Cheng Xiao didn't get to see Daiyu, he couldn't hide his smile when he got the tip he had been thinking about for a long time.Fortunately, he still knew that it was not easy to take it out right now, so he just hid it in his clothes, thinking that one day he could bring it out in a legitimate way.He asked about Daiyu again, and told Zijuan to take good care of her and not to mention it.
But on the appointed day, Cheng Xiao naturally went to the appointment on time, and even though he had never met Shen Jinyu's speaker, he had heard of it.
Seeing this, Daiyu smiled wryly. Grandmother really thought she was a fool, and there was nothing more to say after the matter was over.Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly and said coldly: "I don't know anything about the affairs of the court, but my father is just and strict, so naturally I won't wrong anyone. Grandmother, please come back, but Yu'er will not see you off." Immediately, a snow goose came forward to ask Jia Mu to leave.
Jiamu's eyes lost the kindness of the past, she stared at Daiyu deeply for a long time before saying, "This is really my good granddaughter, now that she has climbed a high branch and doesn't like me as an old woman, that's very good." walk away.
Xueyan looked at Daiyu's pale face worriedly and said in a low voice, "Girl!"
She waved her hand, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It's not in the way, remember not to talk about it." Xue Yan was unhappy, why didn't she say it, this Jia Mu is too much, bullying the girl like this.But meeting Shang Daiyu's stern eyes, he finally swallowed the words and agreed.
After this incident, Daiyu completely gave up on Jia's family. If she didn't even care about her own daughter's life or death, how could she care about her granddaughter? Her surname was Lin, not Jia, but looking at it now, she was mistaken, so what if her surname was Jia, and her mother's surname was Jia, which couldn't compare to the power and wealth of the Jia family.
Although I understand it in my heart, I don't change my mind after all.Although Xueyan was ordered not to publicize this matter, but her mood changed, Zhen'er naturally noticed it, and only guessed that it must be something Jia Mu said that caused this, but Daiyu didn't want to say that she couldn't do anything about it.

"That's not the case." They clearly have a purpose, but they can't say that. He is not young but has never married a wife. I don't know what these people think. Nine out of ten want to be matchmakers. Thinking of this, Cheng Xiao wanted to sigh even more.If he hadn't been unable to let go of Daiyu, he would have already run out of Beijing by now.
Daiyu naturally didn't know what Xu Cheng was thinking, anyway, it was rare for senior brother to come to see her, so naturally she didn't mention these unhappy things, and naturally talked about other things.
If it is said that the most eye-catching thing in Beijing today, it is not that the whole family of Zhen's family was escorted back to Beijing.In the end this involves too much, it may not be easy to mention.But it's a big gossip, the Jia family, who has always claimed to be the family of the father's family, has split up.
Xijue's eldest son has been living by the stables and endured it for many years, but he didn't expect to be forced to separate the family now.This excitement naturally aroused a lot of discussion among the people in Beijing, and the daughter of the Jia family's second bedroom was still a concubine in the palace, so the sudden separation of the family was a bit strange.
However, it is difficult for outsiders to know the details. They only know that the family has been successfully divided, and everyone in Beijing wonders how Mrs. Shi of Jia's family will accept this matter.
Xu Chengyuan was a little hesitant to tell Daiyu about this, but he didn't expect her to know about it long ago.
"How does junior sister know?" Xu Cheng frowned slightly.
Daiyu smiled faintly: "Senior brother, I really think I don't know everything. Everyone in the capital knows it, so I don't know. Senior brother, don't worry, the Jia family's affairs are naturally under the care of the Jia family, so naturally it doesn't matter to me." Even though he said so, it was not someone else who told him about it, but someone from the Jia family said it.But it's not Jia's mother, but the second room of Jia's family.
Outsiders don't know the reason for this family division, but Daiyu knows it.Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang sided with the Zhen family for their own reasons, intending to help the Zhen family get rid of the crime, but failed to beg Daiyu, and even accepted the Zhen family's finances.This matter was known to Jia Lian, the Zhen family was only escorted back to Beijing, they had not been convicted yet, and Prince Zhong Zhong was still there, so he didn't know what to do.Naturally, he wanted to ask someone for advice, so he called Wang Xifeng to come and see Daiyu, and asked what he might know.
Daiyu didn't want to say anything and only said a few words of comfort, she just mentioned the Zhen family and said that they deserved what they deserved.Daiyu reckoned that Jia Lian probably did not want to be implicated, so the family was divided.It's just that she didn't know that there was another person's handwriting in it.
Cheng Xiao kept in mind Jia's mother's scheme against Daiyu, and naturally wanted to retaliate, and Jia Lian's action made him notice it.Finding an opportunity to find Jia Lian, it doesn't need to be too much. It is a crime to secretly hide the wealth of an official's family, so let Jia Lian take care of it.
Jia Lian was working in the Ministry of Punishment, so he naturally knew what kind of crime it was. Since the Zhen family was doomed, no matter what, he didn't want to implicate his family.But this matter was done by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, regardless of other things, I am afraid that if I say it, I may not be willing to listen.Thinking that it was the Second Household who had been in the spotlight these years, maybe the First Household would be implicated by them.
Jia Lian gritted his teeth and approached Jia Amnesty. The big house beat Jia Lian and entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and put more restraint on him. Although I dare not say that there is no use of power, there is absolutely no serious crime.Jia Amnesty naturally didn't want her family's good life to be affected, and then thought of Jia's mother's partiality for so many years.As soon as he was cruel, he asked Jia's mother to separate the family. At first, Jia's mother was naturally unwilling, but Jia pardoned Jia Lian and came prepared.If the family is not separated, Mrs. Wang will be accused of hiding the prisoner's finances and privately lending interest.
If one is always implicated, it is better to ask for mercy, maybe it is a lax family management, and it is not him who sits down, but the virtuous concubine in the palace may not be able to get better in the future.
I never imagined that Jia She would take this as a threat, and she had the evidence in hand. Even though Jia's mother was half dead from anger, there was nothing she could do. In her opinion, the concubine Xiande was the Jia family's greatest reliance, and she could only promise Jia She for this. The matter of separation.
It's just that she will never let the second room suffer. Generally, the eldest son and the youngest son are separated, and Xijue's eldest son always gets the big head, but when it comes to Jia's family, it is fifty-fifty.Although Jia Amnesty was dissatisfied, he gritted his teeth and swallowed it when he saw that he could get into his hands anyway.
The division of the family is only the property of the public, and Jiamu's private house has not been touched.She had always loved Baoyu, but now she is more and more unwilling to leave it to the first wife. Jia Amnesty originally wanted to drive the second wife out. Jia Mu's private house may not be his in the future.But of course Mother Jia didn't want to. Although the family was separated, she still asked the second bedroom to live in this mansion, saying that there was no suitable house, and if Jia Amnesty forced her, she would follow.For the sake of filial piety, Jia Amnesty didn't dare to push too much, so he just remained stiff.
This play in Jia's Mansion is very exciting, and there are many stories in it that are passed on by outsiders, but most of them are covered up and not told to spread outside.It's rare that Jia's mother was ruthless, but it worked.
But outsiders don't know, but some people know, such as Cheng Xiao.Because of the small thoughts in his heart, Cheng Xiao seemingly unintentionally told Daiyu about the Jia family's affairs, of course he didn't reveal that broken stone, Jia Baoyu.
If the division of the Jia family had the greatest impact on anyone, it must be Jia Baoyu.Now that the family is separated, the Grand View Garden cannot be lived in, and the maids around can't stay so many.
Since the man had a dementia and started to make a fuss, it really made people don't know what to say.Cheng Xiao also pretended to be innocent and sighed: "This cousin from the Jia family is a flower cherisher." Bian said that she secretly glanced at Daiyu, wanting to see her expression.
Daiyu is not stupid, there is nothing wrong with it, this person is narrow-minded, because of what happened last time, he despises the Jia family, and he himself is not good at anything, but then something feels wrong.It's clearly intentional to get involved with the second cousin and those other things.
"If your son is envious, you can find some and be a flower cherisher." Daiyu looked at him with a half-smile.
Cheng Xiao immediately corrected his posture, "I'm just worried about how my second cousin will be able to support the family business in the future if he is so spoiled." She said while looking at Daiyu, "I only take one ladle for three thousand, and I only want to pity the person in front of me. I can't see any of those flowers."
This is still a military commander, he is clearly a disciple.Daiyu's cheeks turned red instantly.But this time she didn't get up and run away in shame, Cheng Xiao was hit by a fruit.
Looking back, who is the angry face, Zhen'er?Zhen'er stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Daiyu's hand and said angrily to Cheng Xiao, "Don't think that my sister can be bullied by you because she has no parents. If you go out, you will never see her in the future." Taking advantage of Cheng Xiao's shock When he lived, he took Daiyu and ran away.
Cheng Xiao wiped his face helplessly, and he couldn't help laughing from behind him, he turned his head and stared at the third son of Mingxuan Palace who couldn't stop laughing, but his eyes were useless.
"Enough of laughing, I asked you to help, and that's how you help?" Cheng Xiao said in a low voice.
The third son, Tu Kun, spread his hands with a smile and said: "I can't blame me for this, and my sister is not stupid, so I don't care about it twice this time." He walked over and put his hand on Cheng Xiao's shoulder and said, "Tell third brother quickly, Where did you learn these love words. I really can't see that fourth brother is still a lover."
It's a pity that Cheng Xiao's cold face hit him in the stomach as soon as he finished speaking, and he bent down in pain. This was too cruel.
Cheng Xiao didn't bother to talk to him, his words were for Yu'er, so it's reasonable for you shameless eavesdroppers.It's just that thinking about the feeling of occupying Yu'er all day long and making him trip up doesn't make her feel better.
He only had one firm thought that he must send this person away from Yu'er, but unfortunately he sent a few people to the concubine mother, but the concubine mother didn't agree, it really made him helpless.
I don't know if it was a coincidence or good luck, when Cheng Xiao secretly picked a son-in-law for his sister in name, Shen Jinyu approached him and recommended a candidate for him.
Although Zhen'er was dissatisfied, all Cheng Xiao could do was to choose a good husband-in-law for her, not to be perfunctory.Whether it is to see Yu'er or the concubine mother.
The person recommended by Shen Jinyu is not bad, it is very good, but there are problems, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "It is rare, but they may not be suitable."
This is a mysterious statement, but it may not be appropriate, how can it be called appropriate?Shen Jinyu sighed, put down the cup in his hand and said, "Actually, there is something else going on here, but I can't tell if it involves other people. Why don't you ask him yourself?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao pondered for a moment before finally agreeing, it is obvious that this person should intend to marry Zhen'er, why?
Since the person involved was willing to come forward, Cheng Xiao didn't ask Shen Jinyu any further, the two just made an appointment to meet again, and Cheng Xiao could ask Shen Jinyu at that time.
Daiyu basically didn't leave since she moved into Mingxuan Palace, she just went back to Lin's Mansion for a few days, and then was brought back by Zhen'er's envoy.Everyone in the capital knows that Princess Hongxia and the girl from the Lin family are good, but one has no parents, and the other is favored by the princess, and no one objects to living together.
In their free time, they enjoyed themselves in the mansion, or attended the banquet in the boudoir in Beijing, and even entered the palace to greet the Empress Dowager, because they entered and exited together.The sisters are not like this either, after all some gossip is spread.Fortunately, it doesn't hinder anything, it doesn't look like it after all.
The concubine didn't feel anything before, but now she also felt that it was inappropriate, especially when Cheng Xiao made a few grievances in front of her, which made her smile even more wryly.
It's not that Daiyu is ignorant of all those gossips, it's just that she is fair and at ease, she is whatever she is anyway, and she never wronged her sisters because of other people's words, so naturally she didn't take it to heart.
The chess board was set up, and the two played chess in the garden. Daiyu held the sunspots. Although she had a delicate mind, she lacked decisiveness.The chess game became anxious.Daiyu turned around to drink tea and saw Zijuan coming over holding a food box and asking, "Why are you holding this well?"
Zijuan smiled and said: "If you go back to the girl, this is from my uncle. The dim sum from Baiwei Pavilion, the girl ate well last time, and my uncle bought it specially." The craftsmanship of the old shop for many years is also rare.
But what is even more rare is that people are caring. Zijuan put out some snacks, some of which are Daiyu's favorites.Seeing Daiyu's shy smile, Zhen'er gasped for breath and stopped playing chess, just grabbed a piece of dessert and took a bite.
Daiyu just pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't speak, she was much better than before, but Zhen'er was just childish and used to fighting.
"Did the son go back?" Daiyu turned around and asked Zijuan, because Cheng Xiao's slip of the tongue was heard by Zhen'er last time, and she promised not to allow her to see him in private, only that he bullied her.
Zijuan said with a smile, "My lord is still waiting outside, do you want to let me in?" Although she answered Daiyu's words, she looked at Zhen'er.
Seeing this, Zhen'er just pretended not to see it, and turned her head to look elsewhere.But he took another piece of snack in his hand unceremoniously.
"No need, just thank you." After a pause, she said in a slightly lower voice, "Send him the kit and call it a gift of thanks." Mostly feeling embarrassed, Daiyu turned her head away after finishing speaking. Turning his head, he also picked up the snack and tasted it in small bites.
Letting Zijuan purse his lips, although Cheng Xiao didn't get to see Daiyu, he couldn't hide his smile when he got the tip he had been thinking about for a long time.Fortunately, he still knew that it was not easy to take it out right now, so he just hid it in his clothes, thinking that one day he could bring it out in a legitimate way.He asked about Daiyu again, and told Zijuan to take good care of her and not to mention it.
But on the appointed day, Cheng Xiao naturally went to the appointment on time, and even though he had never met Shen Jinyu's speaker, he had heard of it.
