Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]

what to prepare?Of course it's Jia Mu's funeral!

Maybe yesterday Wang Xifeng still held some hope, but only a day later, Jia Mu became seriously ill again, so the so-called hope was nothing more than passing clouds.Coincidentally, as soon as the bad news came from this room, before Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng rushed over, Lin Zhixiao's family hurried over with one of them.When I asked, it turned out that the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County rushed to invite after getting the news yesterday.It's just that the Tai Tai Hospital was really empty yesterday, so I rushed here as soon as I went to the office today.

"I'll take the imperial doctor there." Jia Lian volunteered, he knew very well that Jia's mother was seriously ill and how busy the house was, so he didn't let Wang Xifeng go.Of course, apart from this, Jia Lian was also very afraid that Wang Xifeng would go crazy again.In any case, if Jia's mother is really hopeless, Jia Lian also hopes that the old man will leave quietly and stop frightening her with Baoyu's future.

...although, that wasn't a scare at all.

The Imperial Physician is somewhat useful, but it is a pity that Jia's mother is already terminally ill and cannot be saved by human power.Even an imperial doctor can only guarantee a few days of life extension at most, but there is nothing else that can be done.To put it bluntly, Jia Mu's situation can't even be said to be fate, but a "fate" is added!

For elderly people who are over seventy years old, even if their illness can be cured, it may not be able to save their lives.

After noon, Daiyu also came.

"Second Lian's sister-in-law, the old lady..." Although there were many unhappiness in the Rongguo Mansion, it has to be said that at least at the beginning, Jia's mother was somewhat sincere towards Daiyu.Just sometimes, what about sincerity?Mother Jia loved Daiyu, but she loved Baoyu even more. After all, people's hearts are partial.However, when Daiyu learned that Jia's mother was seriously ill, she still couldn't help being sad.

"Sister Lin, come with me to visit the old lady." Wang Xifeng was originally sitting in the main courtyard, so it was convenient to handle many affairs in the house.She also thought about staying in front of Jiamu, but when she thought that maybe Jiamu didn't want to see her, she didn't bother to touch this bad luck.Now, since Daiyu was going, Wang Xifeng simply went along with the flow.

The courtyard where Jia Mu lived was relatively remote, but the surrounding environment was the best among several courtyards.It's a pity that Jia's mother never left the door from the beginning to the end, she was carried in unconscious when she came, and now it's even more impossible to move easily.

When Wang Xifeng and Daiyu passed by, Jia's mother had just taken the medicine and fell asleep again. Although she looked very pale, at least she was still there.

"Second Lord Lian..."

"Let's go talk outside." Jia Lian hurriedly interrupted Wang Xifeng's words, without bothering to say hello to Daiyu, she dragged Wang Xifeng into the yard outside.Wang Xifeng instinctively felt something was wrong, followed Jia Lian's wishes and walked into the yard without asking any questions, just looked at Jia Lian quietly.

"The old lady found out about the death of the Second Master Zheng." After a long time, Jia Lian squeezed out these words through his teeth.

"W-what?!" Wang Xifeng stared and drooled.To be honest, at that moment just now, she even thought about whether Jia's mother would threaten Jia Lian to divorce his wife with death, but she never thought that the truth was like this.

Jia Zheng died on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the night of visiting relatives in Yuanchun.According to everyone's guesses and the results of the current selection investigation, the culprit should be Mrs. Wang, and the cause is naturally that Jia Zheng wanted to abandon Mrs. Wang.It was also after that day that the Rongguo Mansion completely collapsed.One must know that the big house had been separated, and Jia Zheng was the real head of the Rongguo Mansion, but it was a pity that he died.The remaining youngest son, Baoyu, and eldest grandson, Jialan, were unable to support the family.Not to mention that he is already planning to take the old minister under his knife.

But these things are all hidden from Jia's mother! !

Even if the Rongguo Mansion collapsed, Jia Mu's imperial wife would have disappeared long ago, but the fact that she is old is real.Because of this, when the king of Nan'an County led troops to blockade Rongguo Mansion, although he put all the other masters into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he still did not touch Jia Mu.Not only did she leave Yuanyang, a close maid, for Jia Mu, but she also opened the door for Jia Lian to find contacts and try to pick them up.

...Everyone knows that Jia's mother is about to die soon, and even an unrelated outsider can't bear her old age and suffering. prison.

"Who is it?" When Wang Xifeng said this, there was almost no expression on her face, and her tone was even more calm, but anyone who knew her knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

Jia Lian knew the same, but it was impossible for him to hide it again.At that moment, he shook his head with a wry smile, and uttered two words heavily: "Baoyu."

Wang Xifeng didn't look at it.

"Brother Feng, I know you are very angry, but you must promise me this matter. The imperial physician just said clearly that the old lady will never be saved. Maybe it will only be two days, and it will only be three or five days at most. The way she looks, she...you promise me, don’t get angry when the old lady is around. I also promise you, once she leaves, even if you hang Baoyu up and beat her, I won’t care.”

Even though Jia Lian knew how biased Jia Mu's heart was, he still couldn't bear it in Jia Mu's last few days.

"Second Master Lian, since you have said so, what else can I do?" Wang Xifeng smiled weakly, "Do you really think I am so cold-blooded? In fact, I have already thought about it before the old lady left. Let the second room move to our old house. Remember, it is the second room, not Baoyu alone."

"Row."

"One more thing..." Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment, but finally said it out, "Second Master Lian, please tell the old lady, maybe she will return her dowry now."

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng in surprise, as if she had never thought of this question at all.

Wang Xifeng said: "I was thinking about it before. Brother Qiao was talking about it with me in the morning, and my heart was moved at that moment. I thought about it for a long time before I remembered that the dowry of the woman was originally from the husband's family. Those who come to ensure the survival of their descendants, those families who have suffered a sudden catastrophe, rely on the dowry of their daughters to barely make ends meet, saving the last trace of their blood."

"That's right, I forgot if you didn't tell me. In other words, not only the old lady, but sister-in-law Zhu's dowry can actually be taken back?" Jia Lian was pleasantly surprised.He wouldn't be interested in the idea of ​​dowry, but in this way, Jia's family knew that they would provide a place to stay, so they could expel the second room as a matter of course.

"What's the use of sister-in-law Zhu's idea of ​​dowry? By the way, although the Li family is poor, they are also moral. Should all the betrothal gifts from the Rongguo Mansion be her dowry?" Li Wan married into the Rongguo Mansion for a while It just so happened that the Wang family had something to do, and Wang Xifeng hadn't been to Rongguo Mansion for a long time, so she didn't know the specific situation at that time.

But even if Jia Lian was present, it was impossible to look at Li Wan's dowry. After thinking for a while, he gave up directly: "Whatever her, isn't there still the old lady's dowry left and right? Many wealthy families marry their daughters. There is a backup in the yamen. At the beginning, didn’t Uncle Lin also give you a copy of Aunt Lin’s dowry list? Regardless of whether it was used in the end, it won’t be difficult to find it.”

It's a good thing to be able to find it. Compared with going to the household department to ask for money with the original dowry list, even if it is impossible to get all of it back, it is good to have such a [-]-[-]%.At least, enough for the second room to make ends meet.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian excitedly ran back to Jia's mother's room, and because Jia's mother was still awake, he told the good news to other people present.To be honest, everyone knows that a woman's dowry does not follow her husband's family.But in fact, in most cases, if the family is really ransacked and the family is wiped out, many female relatives will be used as official prostitutes. If this is the case, the dowry will be meaningless.

... A prostitute cannot own private property.

Fortunately, Jia's mother was never prosecuted for any crime because of her advanced age.Because Li Wan was young and widowed, he was admired by the world, so naturally he would not be implicated.As for Mrs. Wang, it can only be resigned.

The dowry list of Jia's mother was found by Yuanyang, and it even contained the dowry lists of Jia Min, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan.There is nothing wrong with this other person, but when Jia Lian looked at the dowry list of his biological mother Zhang, he was shocked.

Although Zhang's dowry had been given to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng long before Jia She passed away, it was obvious that more than [-]% of it was missing.Of course Jia Lian would not doubt Jia She, after all Jia She is dead, there is no point in hiding money.Then the only explanation can only be the hands and feet of Jia Mu or Mrs. Wang.

The reason why Mrs. Xing was never suspected is because Mrs. Xing only entered the door more than a year after Zhang's death.At that time, all of Zhang's dowry had already fallen into Jia She's hands, and Mrs. Xing was incapable of snatching things from Jia She's hands.

Holding Zhang's dowry list as a backup, Jia Lian turned around and gave it to Wang Xifeng.He might not be able to see some things, but Wang Xifeng definitely could.

Sure enough, after a cursory scan, Wang Xifeng pointed out a dozen or so abnormalities: "I have seen this gold-plated eight-treasure palace lamp before at my aunt's. This set of mahogany carved bed, wardrobe, dressing table and other ten pieces of furniture She, I remember seeing it at my aunt's place. I heard that it was a gift from my aunt one year in order to get my uncle to support Mr. Zheng Er. And this..."

In short, there are too many familiar items in Mrs. Zhang's dowry list, some of which have been seen at Mrs. Wang's place, and some of them have been in Wang's house at all.Wang Xifeng only recognized thirteen or four things, but was not quite clear about the others.Of course, there is another possibility that the similar names are purely coincidental.

Is there really such a coincidence?To be honest, Jia Lian didn't believe it at all.

"Second Master Lian, with the master's temperament, it is unlikely that such a problem will arise. Especially since the person is gone, he should take over the inheritance as soon as possible." Wang Xifeng thought about it carefully, but still didn't think that Jia She would be that kind. Generally unreliable.Of course, this only refers to the issue of money, if it is something else, Jia Amnesty is really unreliable.

"Then what do you think, if it were you... Let me use an analogy, if sister-in-law Zhu died today, and you wanted to take her things, what would you do?"

Wang Xifeng really thought about what Jia Lian wanted for a while, and when he spoke again, he asked a question that Jia Lian had never thought of: "Then how did she die?"

"Is it important?"

"If something happens suddenly and the room becomes a mess, it's really easy to get your hands on it, but this refers to small decorations. As long as you find a way to bribe the personal servants, it's not difficult to steal a few things while taking advantage of the chaos. But second master Lian, don't forget, I saw familiar things just now, and more than half of them are big things."

"My mother died of illness, and she was ill for a long time. From the Zhang family's accident, to my elder brother's accident, and then the old lady's death, my elder brother's anniversary celebration, etc., it took at least two or three years."

"If that's the case, I won't choose to do it after the people are gone." Wang Xifeng said while thinking, "The big things are stored in the warehouse, and they are usually taken care of by the confidants. I can't take it away even if I want to. In this case, the other party's confidant should be damaged first. I remember that the eldest brother fell into the water because the maid and mother-in-law couldn't take care of him? Naturally, the one who can let the mother send him to take care of the elder brother must be a confidant. That's it As a result, all the people around the elder brother were replaced, and the mother wanted to transfer the people around him. Didn't the old man disappear at that time? If it was me, I would borrow it!"

"Borrow?" Jia Lian was suspicious.

"Yes, it's borrowing, and it's justified to be in charge of the master's house. Think about it, what happened to the mother at that time? First, there was an accident in the natal family, and then the eldest son died, let alone the old man died of illness. At that time, the housekeeper must be How about my aunt? That’s not a good idea. She used the excuse that she needed equipment for family affairs and borrowed it from her mother in the name of her father’s office. Can the mother say no? At this time, the person in charge of the warehouse has probably been replaced by a son of the Rongguo Mansion. Very difficult."

Naturally it is not difficult.

Just as Wang Xifeng was very familiar with the children of Rongguo Mansion's family before she got married, so is Mrs. Wang.I also know, if she hadn't won Jia's mother's favor, would she have married Jia Zheng so smoothly?At least, at first, Mother Jia was quite satisfied with Mrs. Wang.

"Hehe, so that's the case. Could it be that my father didn't notice anything unusual? I'm afraid he didn't find my mother's dowry list at all, so he just took over the warehouse? Wait, I remember there was a dowry list..."

"It's easy to forge a dowry list. Besides, would you like to trust my aunt's character, or the old lady? Second Master Lian, the old lady doesn't know that we will go through her things, and I guess she doesn't have any at all." Thinking that when Yuanyang was taking her underwear, she would take the dowry list with her."

That's right, one is calculating and the other is just unconscious behavior. It is self-evident which one is true and which is false.

"What is Second Master Lian planning to do? Or, let's just sue my aunt and my aunt to jointly seize your mother's relics? What's the matter? It's just me talking nonsense. The truth is that the two sisters and nephews planned Long!"

The author has something to say:

It's three o'clock!

Wo feels that the nest is starting to wilt again, so I'll be on the third watch today, recharge my batteries and fight another [-] rounds tomorrow! ! !

good night.
