Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

Baoyu, his wife, and Ouguan Ruiguan were very moved when they heard what Grandma Liu said.

Because she welcomed Grandma Liu in, Sister Feng knew the intention of Grandma Liu's visit, and said to Baoyu, "I never thought that in times of distress, many people would avoid us, even their own family members would be ruthless, but Grandma Liu is Gu Dao warm-hearted, brought all the more than 200 taels that the family had saved for several years, I was so moved that I didn’t know what to say.”

Baoyu wept and said: "I have lived in the groves of Qiluo since I was a child, and I only know how warm and cold people are when I walk in the prison. Grandma brought all her savings. How will the family live in the future?"

Grandma Liu smiled and said: "Don't worry, brother. That year, my wife gave 100 taels of silver, and grandma gave [-] taels of silver. I sold the cup that Bao brother gave me. I added more than ten acres of fertile land to my family. The big yard of the green brick and tile house, and the materials given by the old ladies and girls to make clothes, and a lot of grain in the cellar, enough to eat for two or three years. Besides, the imperial court got a lot of grain seeds from overseas, and the Huangzhuang planted them Two years ago, I felt that the harvest was good, and the year before last, I sent it to our village for planting. Susukida can be planted, and the harvest is higher than others. There are also a few more vegetables on the table. The weather has been good in the past two years, and there is new food to eat. There is no food in the village. starve to death."

While talking, I went to Jiamu's room and saw Jiamu lying motionless on the bed. Yuanyang knelt by the bed and rubbed Jiamu's legs. Grandma Liu burst into tears before she knew it. Ann, said: "Old birthday star, I came to see you."

Although Jiamu couldn't move, she could hear the voice, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

While helping Grandma Liu to sit on the drum stool beside the bed, Sister Feng turned around and pushed Baoyu, then gave him the handkerchief in her sleeve, and said, "Brother Bao, go to the old lady. I know the old lady can't talk." Yan, I really miss you in my heart."

Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward to wipe away tears for Jia Mu, and kept saying that she was well. Grandma Liu also comforted: "Old birthday star, I have heard from Brother Feng that although something happened in the family, no one was killed. Brothers and sisters are all concerned." At home, if there is no lack of one, you should take good care of your body and bones, waiting to hold the great-grandson of Brother Bao’s family. In life, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. This kaner’s family has passed it safely. In a few years It has avoided the limelight, and it is a big family again, so it is extremely prosperous."

After hearing this, Jia's mother spit out a few vague words from her throat, which no one else could understand, and said alone, "Grandma, the old lady said thank you for your explanation, and thank you for visiting our house for not thinking we made trouble. , she is not someone who has not experienced major events, and now that her family's life has been saved, her heart is half relieved."

Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "Our family has a lot of food and clothing today because of the kindness of the family. In the past, we couldn't even earn enough food and clothing. Although we are ordinary people, we can't forget the old lady, grandma, and brother when we have a good life. My sister's kindness."

Yuanyang's eyes turned red, and said: "Grandma knows how to repay her kindness, but some people are ruthless."

Grandma Liu was puzzled, but Sister Feng and Baoyu knew that she was talking about Li Wan. They kept this matter from Jia's mother all the time, for fear that Jia's mother would be sad if she found out. .

After a few days, I heard that Li Wan had quietly returned to Jinling with Jia Lan and his servants.

Since the move, Jia's mother has never seen Li Wan, and after Jia Lan came to kowtow with Baoyu and Jia Huan on the day she was released from prison, she never appeared again. Grandma Liu, grandson, sister-in-law Xing Xiuyan, Qingwen Fangguan and other sisters came to visit her one after another. Why didn't Jiamu understand?

Even though she understood, Mother Jia didn't ask any further questions. First, she couldn't move or speak. Second, Sister Feng and the others didn't want to make herself sad, so she just pretended not to understand. Third, she knew that Li Wan had some valuables. , Enough for the two of them to live.

But Jia Amnesty sighed, and said, "I originally thought that the second child and Rong'er would be arranged after they were on the road, but I don't know."

In the past few months, the case of Prince Yizhong has involved many families, either fined money, ransacked their homes, enslaved officials, or sold them on the street. They were either imprisoned, imprisoned, or exiled. Among them, there were a total of [-] or [-] criminals who were exiled to northern Xinjiang.

Jia Amnesty deeply hated Jia Zheng and his wife for causing him to lose his noble mansion, but because of his reputation, he could not ignore them, so he gritted his teeth and ordered Jia Lian and Sister Feng to make some coarse clothes, and took Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan to send Jia Zheng and Wang off in person. lady.

Jia Amnesty wore a brand-new cocoon silk robe, and dressed Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan in the same way as before.

The exiled criminals were separated from men and women, squeezed side by side, and held in the prison car. They could only stand and could not sit down. Not only the offenders and their families, but also other prisoners who went on the road with them were all guilty of serious crimes and sentenced to exile. Well, most of these people are vicious and vicious people, and they all slapped their knees and laughed when they saw the high-ranking officials who were once tyrannical and domineering end up in the same fate as themselves.

Jia Zheng was squeezed into the corner of the prison car and stood holding the railing. His hair was disheveled and he was in a state of embarrassment. At first sight, Jia She got off the tall horse and walked to the front of the car.

Jia She said with a sigh: "Second brother has rich clothes and fine food since he was young, and he went out riding a horse and sitting in a sedan chair. How has he ever suffered such hardships?"

So he ordered the commander to come to the front with the officer who had asked to escort the prisoners, and handed over a heavy bag of silver, which was worth 200 taels, and begged them to move Jia Zheng and Jia Rong out of the prison car and sit in the same car with Mrs. Wang. Allow their brothers to talk.

The officials who escort the prisoners to the place of exile don’t have much money. If the prisoners have family members and friends who are willing to take care of them, they will always give them money and entrust them to take care of the prisoners on the way. Unfortunately, such people are a minority after all, almost every Criminals will be implicated in many bad things, and everyone can't take care of themselves, let alone make arrangements to see them off.

Therefore, the leading yamen servant weighed the money in his hand, remembering that Jia's family had not been completely destroyed, and there were several relatives, especially Wei Ruolan who also served as the minister of the leading bodyguard, so he hurriedly made arrangements with a smile on his face.

Seeing Baoyu right in front of her eyes, Mrs. Wang, who just got out of the prison car, couldn't help crying, "My son!"

Before the prison cart was pulled over, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Jia Rong were all standing there. Baoyu knelt down in front of his parents, wept bitterly, and said, "This trip to the north will be a thousand miles of wind and frost. I would like to go with my parents so that I can serve my father on the way." Mother." He has gone through the heat and cold, and he no longer looks innocent and innocent in the past. Seeing his parents so haggard, they seem to be more than [-] years old, and his heart aches unbearably.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang flatly refused: "No!" She had Baoyu's son, and she was lucky to be redeemed. When she came to visit her in the prison temple, she said that Jia Amnesty was very kind to her, and she couldn't ask him to follow him no matter what. I suffer and suffer.

Jia Zheng also said: "Life and death are unpredictable. You serve the old lady on my behalf at home, which is your filial piety to us."

Mrs. Wang agreed very much, stroking Baoyu's head with her shackled hands, thinking of the separation of mother and child, and never seeing each other again, she felt heartbroken and choked up: "Your master is very right, you serve the old lady at home. It is filial piety to us."

Jia Amnesty said, "Both our elder brother and Baoyu brothers will be filial to the old lady, and the second master and second wife can just go on the road with peace of mind. With me as an uncle, Baoyu and Huan'er must not be made to suffer. The old lady divided the house early, and all the rooms allocated to you were confiscated. It's a pity. Fortunately, there are still some farmland shops in the public house. It's a pity that your wife's income was not good when she was housekeeping. Some of them were sold, and the rest are not Tomorrow, I will divide Baoyu and Huan'er into a Zhuangzi, and it will be enough if you are frugal."

Jia Zheng's mouth moved, as if he had something to say, Jia She didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued to speak eloquently: "You don't need to ask me, I will be filial to the old lady and take care of my two nephews. Baoyu and Huaner are now They all live with me, and if they want another courtyard in the future, I will pay for them to buy two houses."

It is in his interest to treat Baoyu and Jia Huan kindly without Jia Zheng begging him to buy a house and divide the land. People will blame themselves, after all, they have done everything they should do, impeccable.However, it would not be a good thing for Jia Zheng to entrust Baoyu and Jia Huan to himself. Baoyu and Jia Huan will live happily in the future. If something happens or suffers unexpectedly, he will definitely blame himself In fact, not only Jia Zheng is like this, even outsiders will say that he is not dedicated when he hears about it.

Jia Amnesty considered himself not a gentleman, so he naturally considered a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, and cast a sideways glance at Jia Zheng, saying, "Although I lost my title and mansion because of your troubles, and was fined a large sum of money, I was reduced from a high-ranking official to a nobleman." They are common people, but the children are innocent, so you don’t have to worry about me treating Baoyu brothers badly.”

When Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang heard this, they wished they could find a crack in the ground and sneak in, but they were full of thanks and made tears.

Jia Zheng suddenly remembered that he had never seen Jia Lan before, nor heard Jia Shen mention Jia Lan, so he couldn't help asking. Lang Geer went back to Jinling early. Only after the decree came down, the elder sister-in-law moved away with Lang Geer with the confiscated dowry items from the court. The former son did not come to say goodbye to us and went south by boat. I don’t know what to say What's the matter, the master and wife are in the prison of the Ministry of punishment, and the other is in the prison temple. My second brother, my aunt and I went to visit the master and wife the next day after we were redeemed, and we are here to see him off again today. My brother is nowhere to be seen."

Jia Huan has always hated Baoyu, but now he is Jia She's nephew just like Baoyu. no.Moreover, Jia's mother was seriously ill, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were exiled, and no one compared herself to Baoyu, so she felt angry in her heart.

He also hates Jialan very much. Even though their mother and son are not as good as Baoyu in the mansion, they are more than a hundred times stronger than himself and his aunt. I rewarded myself with a bowl of food.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were taken aback, and they lost their voices: "What did you say?"

Jia She kindly told them the whereabouts of Li Wan's mother and son, as if he didn't see them, he couldn't believe it, and sighed: "I want to divide the two villages of your second house. Brother Lang is the eldest grandson, so he should take half of it. Who knows? He left without making a sound, and simply divided the land between Baoyu and Huan'er. At any rate, the two brothers are somewhat filial. As for Lang Ge'er and his mother, they have the dowry and servants of the Li family back then. You grandparents Knowing the number, it is enough for them to live, perhaps even richer than Baoyu and Huaner."

Mrs. Wang was trembling with anger, and said in a repeated voice: "Nail! Nie! Thanks to her virtuous name, how could she have thought of doing such things." Although she didn't name her name, everyone knew what she was talking about. Li Wan and Jia Lan.

A bit of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Jia She's mouth, and he said, "It's all about following the example."

Mrs. Wang's face turned purple immediately.

Jia Zheng said in tears: "The family is unlucky! The family is unlucky!"

Jia She snorted, it was clear that what the husband and wife did caused the whole family to suffer, it should be said that they were the ones who were unlucky in the family, but they were lucky, they didn't know how to reflect on it, but instead said that the family was unlucky, after thinking about it, Jia She said very considerately: " In addition, the Qing people under the second master's sect, Shan Pinren, Zhan Guang, etc., have defected to Jia Yucun's sect."

Jia Zheng was stunned, and then his face was full of anger. He was about to ask Jia Yucun why he hadn't been questioned, when he saw the yamen servants pulling the prison cart over and urging them to get on the road. Jia Rong.

Baoyu said quietly: "Sister Bao is meticulous and sewed some scattered silver into the padded clothes."

What's more, the yamen servants couldn't wait any longer. They pushed Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Rong into the car.

But when Jia Amnesty returned home with Baoyu and Jia Huan, he followed the preface and divided two villages in front of Jia Mu, both of which were small villages of five or six hundred mu, one for Baoyu and one for Jia Huan. Separated.At the same time, Jia Amnesty also promised that after Jia Huan got married, he would divide two houses with his brothers and set up his own family. their diet.

Jia Huan is not married yet, and he doesn't want to leave, what is it for him to be alone in the capital without Jia Amnesty?Anyone can bully him, it's better to live with Jia She and Jia Lian.He also wants Jia She to marry him a wife. A Zhuangzi only earns a few hundred taels a year, so what is enough for him?Dowry is not enough.So he agreed.

Baoyu, however, felt extremely guilty, and refused to accept it, but she couldn't resist Jia's amnesty, so Fang knelt down to thank him.

Jia's mother was relieved, with Zhuangzi, and the house mentioned by Ouguan Ruiguan, although Baoyu and Baochai had no glory and wealth, they did not worry about making a living. When the time came, they would rent the house Jia pardoned to Baoyu. Going out, there are a few taels of silver available a year.

In fact, even if Jia Amnesty gave Baoyu and Jia Huan regardless of the house and land, no one else could say anything about him.

Baochai looked at the land deed that Baoyu brought back to the house, which contained a total of 680 seven acres of land, and it was in the suburbs of Beijing, all of which were high-quality fertile land. She was very happy, but when she thought of her natal family, she couldn't help crying secretly.

It turned out that when the Jia family had an accident, Xue Pan's old case was uncovered, and he failed to escape the crime of murder. , the errands of the ancestors were also relieved, and Aunt Xue was too busy to take care of herself in order to exonerate Xue Pan, so she did not take care of Baochai.

In the past, when the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue gained power, let alone such things, the big things could be solved. Now the Shi family, Jia family and Wang family have accidents one after another, and even Xue Pan cannot be rescued. The package left, and the Xue family had nothing.

In fact, before Baochai left the pavilion, there were not many belongings left by the Xue family. An accident happened to the Jia family and they were expelled from the courtyard in the northeast of Rongguo Mansion. A lot of property was spent on management, the business was divided up, many goods were not delivered as promised, and a lot of money was lost.

During this great change, Aunt Xue cried to death. Thanks to Xue Biao, in order to marry a wife and sister, he repaired a house of his family in the capital.

Not only the Xue family fell like this, but the Wang family also fell. Now there is only one Wang Ren left, who comes to Jia's house every day to beat Feng.

Thinking of this, Baochai felt sad for a while, and was wiping away tears when he suddenly heard Baoyu say next to him: "Although the lord treats us kindly, buys a house and divides the land, and is extremely considerate, but the family affairs all start from our house, and all the troubles are caused. The Elder has a house without a noble and no home, how can he continue to live with the Elder with peace of mind? I think, I will move out in a few days."

Baochai wanted to take care of the income by herself, and was unwilling to be merged into the public school. A few hundred taels of silver was enough for Baoyu and herself alone, and then she urged Baoyu to work hard to make a living. , and agreed with what Baoyu said.

Besides Brother Xuan, Jia Amnesty and Madam Xing loved Baoyu the most. At first they were worried that he would set up another family. They bought a small house at the back of the big yard for them to live in. The front hall and the back house are complete, and there are about ten rooms.

Baochai suggested that Baoyu should live here instead, and rent out the courtyard where Ouguan and Ruiguan used to live, at a rent of one hundred taels a year.After Baoyu was released from prison, Daiyu sent Baoyu the house and land deeds, and Baochai knew about it.

Baoyu nodded, but didn't take it to heart.

One loses, one prospers, all prospers, the four great families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, who are so outstanding, are now scattered. I don’t know how many people are sighing. They are worried about Wei Ruolan’s prosperity, and Daiyu is extremely favored by the emperor. On New Year’s Eve, Shangyuan couple People who kept their filial piety still won many rewards from the palace, even if someone in the capital wanted to hurt the Jia family, they had to think about it.

The matter of the Jia family was settled, everyone's fate was a hundred times stronger than in the manuscript, Daiyu finally felt relieved, except that Xichun hadn't married yet, she had nothing to worry about.
