Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]

There is no definite news about the matter of the king of Nan'an County, and the third day of September has arrived.

That day, Wang Xifeng did not go to Caishikou, but Jia Lian did. He was in case Baoyu was out of tune and could help collect the corpse.After all, even if Jia Lian had a big opinion on Mrs. Wang, he couldn't just sit back and watch Mrs. Wang's corpse be exposed in the wilderness.

...although, he quite wanted to do it.

Fortunately, Baoyu was not so unreliable, not only did he arrive at Caishikou, but Jialan also came along.Although the others never showed up, it was normal.It's just that people didn't expect that Mrs. Wang suddenly shouted that she didn't kill her husband just before the execution.Although it is common for prisoners to change their confessions temporarily, Jia Lian watched coldly in the crowd. Mrs. Wang's expression at the time really didn't look like she was lying, and she didn't even look like she was being wronged. On the contrary, it was the last sentence of kindness before she died. like words.However, it has been reduced to such a field, no matter what Mrs. Wang said, it is meaningless, Baoyu cried to death, Jialan supported him, and several servants and servants tried their best to protect them until After everyone's execution was over, they left in a hurry with Mrs. Wang whose body had already been divided.

To be honest, Jia Lian was a little confused.

He was stunned not only because Mrs. Wang changed her words temporarily, but also because he witnessed the scene where Mrs. Wang's head fell to the ground.How long?Jia Amnesty died for three years, and he also looked forward to it for three years. He even saw Mrs. Wang die in his sleep every time, but when this scene really appeared before his eyes, Jia Lian still couldn't recover.I always feel like I am dreaming, but it is more like waking up from a dream and discovering that reality is just like a dream.

Suddenly, Jia Lian's complexion changed.

Just now she was too busy thinking about Mrs. Wang's affairs, and Jia Lian didn't look at them until now.There were about thirty people who were beheaded today. Besides Mrs. Wang, there were several people Jia Lian had known before, but Wang Xifeng's aunt Mrs. Zhou was not included.

Did he miss it, or is Mrs. Zhou not executing today?It is also impossible, although there was a precedent for separate executions in previous years, but that was because there were too many people to be beheaded, and it was impossible to finish them all in a short while.But the sun is still high right now...

"Xing'er, go and find out." After a little thought, Jia Lian simply asked Xing'er to find out about the situation.After a while, Xing'er came back in a hurry and said, "Master, it's only for one day today, and it will be gone tomorrow."

In other words, Mrs. Zhou was not executed?Jia Lian's brows were tightly furrowed, with a vague premonition, and thinking about the instructions given to him by the king of Beijing County a few days ago, he was in a dilemma, so he decided to reply first and wait for news.However, after Jia Lian returned to the mansion, the news that he was supposed to come had not come, but Baoyu sent someone to call him, only saying that he wanted to hold a funeral for Mrs. Wang.

Aside from Mrs. Wang's status as a repeat offender, she is still the elder of Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and others. Now that they are all dead, even though there were many grievances and grievances in life, the Jia family still needs to go to condolences, including Mrs. Xing.

At the moment, Jia Lian had no choice but to order Lin Zhixiao to send some smarter boys to investigate around.And he himself rushed to the former old house with all the masters of the Jia family to express condolences to Mrs. Wang.

It's a good idea, but it's a pity that Jia Lian forgot a very important thing.There is no one in charge at Baoyu's end.

Ordinarily, after Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang passed away, Jia Zhu, the eldest son, should be the head of the family. Unfortunately, Jia Zhu died earlier than both parents, so Jia Lan should be the master.Unfortunately, Jia Lan is still young and has a second uncle, Baoyu, even though Jia Lan is the real head of the second room, but now Baoyu can only make the decision.There is nothing wrong with this approach. The previous example is Prince Teng of the Wang family. He also surpassed his nephew to become the head of the Wang family after the death of his parents and elder brother. However, the premise of this kind of thing is that he has to use it.

Unfortunately, Baoyu is useless at all.

"What are you doing?" When they arrived at their old house, Jia Lian rushed to the main hall in the front yard, but before he got inside, he couldn't help but stare round when he got to the porch, "You ask someone to call us to express our condolences. , I also said that everything has been done. The result? You you you..."

No wonder Jia Lian was shocked, but Baoyu was too unreliable.At noon, Jia Lian was a little relieved to see that Baoyu hadn't forgotten about it.But seeing that nothing was prepared in the main hall of the front yard, and even Mrs. Wang was only placed on the straw mat on the floor of the house, and her head and body were not connected, Jia Lian was really about to collapse.

"Second brother Lian, what should I do? Do I still have to buy a coffin? Where can I buy it? It turned out that when Rong's daughter-in-law died, it was Xue's brother who brought out the coffin from the shop. Later... by the way, Brother Lian, you must know about it? When the old man died, there was the old lady..."

"Shut your mouth!" After a few years, Jia Lian no longer feels sad when others mention Jia Amnesty, but it's one thing not to be sad, but another to be angry.Especially when Baoyu said this, there was no respect at all, and Jia Lian was so angry that he really wanted to slap Baoyu to death.

Baoyu looked at Jia Lian pitifully, and at this time, Wang Xifeng also came over, seeing the situation in the main room, Wang Xifeng also had a face of disbelief: "Baoyu, how many days have passed, you should go to the coffin shop The coffin has been fixed. If the second wife suddenly dies suddenly, you are unprepared and you can justify it, but the second master Lian told you early in the morning that the second wife will be beheaded on the third day of September, so you treat her like this?"

"Sister Feng, I..."

"I don't want to listen to your explanation, you go and explain to your mother!" Wang Xifeng turned and left without hesitation, thinking about walking into the yard, and said to everyone in Jia's mansion who hadn't had time to go to the corridor, "Baoyu hasn't prepared yet." Sure, let's go home first, and when everything is settled later, it won't be too late to come to express our condolences."

"No no, Sister Feng, listen to me, this, that..." Baoyu jumped up and tried to explain, and then remembered that Wang Xifeng was the grandmother who was the head of the house no matter in the Rongguo Mansion back then or in the Jia Mansion later, so Baoyu simply said He rushed over and knelt down to Wang Xifeng, and begged bitterly, "Sister Feng, you have to help me, how can I do these things? You can help me arrange this funeral, so that my wife can be buried in the grave earlier."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Baoyu, without any intention of avoiding it at all, and accepted Baoyu's respect firmly, and then said: "Our two families have long separated, Baoyu, even if you want to find someone to help, you should also find sister-in-law Zhuzhu. This is a funeral, not a happy event, even if she is a widow and grandma, she can handle it."

Li Wan, who had just heard the news and rushed to the front yard, happened to hear Wang Xifeng's last words, his face turned red, and he wanted to explain a few words, but because of his clumsy mouth, he didn't know what to say.

"If sister-in-law Zhu doesn't have a suggestion, let the third sister help, she has always been capable. By the way, there is one more thing." Wang Xifeng originally wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and stopped step.Seeing this, Baoyu's face flashed with surprise, and he said that Wang Xifeng had changed his mind, but Wang Xifeng's next words made him so ashamed that he wished to find a hole in the ground, "...the second master Zheng died unexpectedly, and his body is unknown. Is it at the Yamen of the capital or at the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Baoyu, Big Brother Zhu died early, and Brother Lan is young, so you should shoulder the responsibility. However, you can ask your Second Brother Lian about this matter, if it is confirmed place, I still need you to go there and bring back the corpse of Master Zheng Er."

At this moment, Jia Lian had also left the corridor of the main hall, walked up to Wang Xifeng, glanced at Baoyu who was at a loss, and sighed in a low voice: "Baoyu, you should grow up too. Just like your sister-in-law said, the government I can inquire about the corpse of the second master for you, but even if you don’t know how to do other things now, you should learn how to do them. Now, your sisters-in-law, nephews, brothers and sisters are all supported by you alone. "

People in Jia's mansion came and left quickly, only Jia Lian left a sentence, "If there is any news, someone will pass it over", and then disappeared completely at the gate of the mansion.

Baoyu chased out like a stunned head, but in the end he could only watch the chariots and horses go away.

... Will this family depend on him in the future?But where does he know these things?study?Who do you learn from?Who will teach him?

Suddenly, Baoyu realized that his previous ten years were really wasted.Regardless of whether it is a collection of classics and history, or a book of travel notes, it can't teach him how to live a down-to-earth life.

"Second brother, Lian's second elder brother, Lian's second sister-in-law is right, you should really grow up, our family still depends on you." I don't know how long, when Baoyu was standing numb, Tan Chun's voice came from behind flickeringly, "If you can't even support the second brother, what should we do?"

Baoyu turned around numbly, and there were several people standing at the gate of the mansion.His sister-in-law, his nephew, his younger siblings.It turned out that before I knew it, this family really could only rely on me?Baoyu forced a smile, but it was more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis, so he just said, "But I don't know how to do it."

Tanchun was trembling all over, and even she herself couldn't tell whether she was angry or simply afraid of the future.At this moment, she was extremely envious of Yingchun and Xichun who had grown up together. She had a sister-in-law and a brother, but her future was dark, and she couldn't see where it was going.

"I will! I saw it when Lian's second sister-in-law organized the funeral for the ancestor, I will, I will do it!" In the end, Tanchun could only clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
