Rebirth of the third master of the ring of the Red Chamber

After Tanchun returned to the house, he dragged out all the boxes and rummaged through them, and finally found a few golden hairpins at the bottom of a box. They were not very delicate patterns, but ordinary auspicious cloud patterns. Go to reward the servants, if you make too much, just put it in the corner, and forget it yourself.Gone are the days when we were so rich and luxurious and carefree.

Tanchun held the golden hairpin and wept silently. After a while, he washed his face and changed into unremarkable clothes. He quietly went to the small courtyard where Jia Huan used to live, opened the back corner door and went out.

"Shopkeeper, die." She covered half of her face with a veil, and handed the golden hairpin to the counter.If it was Tanchun in previous years, she would definitely be ashamed, but now Tanchun is used to it.

"Ten taels of silver." The shopkeeper only glanced at it and quoted a price.

"Why don't you weigh it? These few sticks add up to at least seven or eight taels of gold!" Tanchun was in a hurry, and put down the veil covering his face to argue.

"Nowadays, Marquis Shenwei is collecting debts everywhere in Beijing, and the debtors will take things as pawns. Not to mention small things like gold hairpins, even antique jades can't be sold for a high price! Giving you ten taels is extremely kind, love is not appropriate !” The shopkeeper threw the golden hairpin out of the counter.

Tanchun caught it with his hands, and hurriedly asked, "You mean Lord Shenwei is asking for debts? What kind of debts are you asking for?" Erfang's family has declined to this point, all the servants have run away, and all the clansmen, relatives and friends are old and dead. Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang , Mother Jia was afraid of losing face, so she stayed at home all day long and sighed.

"Don't you know?" The shopkeeper became interested and talked endlessly, "This year, the south suffered a flood that was once in a century, and the national treasury was empty, and there was no money to relieve the disaster. Those courtiers borrowed nothing..."

The more Tanchun listened, the more frightened he felt, the knuckles of the hand holding the golden hairpin turned white.

"Fortunately, Marquis Shenwei is not afraid of offending the dignitaries, and one family after another came to collect debts, which gave the victims of the disaster in the south a way to survive. Right now, all the nobles in Beijing are going around raising money and returning it to the household department. I am afraid that Marquis Shenwei will kill you! If we can do more in Daqing A good official like Shen Weihou, who is not afraid of power and is upright, will make life easier for the common people!" The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.

Tanchun was turbulent in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He handed the gold hairpin back and said, "Twelve taels will be ten taels, I'll take it."

The shopkeeper exchanged ten taels of silver, and repeatedly told her to keep it, and Mo revealed the money.

Tanchun thanked him in a low voice, covered his face with a handkerchief and left in a hurry, and only when he reached a corner did he lean his back against the wall and gasp for breath.She wanted to save more money for self-defense, but now it seems that she can't stay in that place any longer, and the disaster of breaking the family is coming!

Sure enough, the things leaked from Jia Huan's hands are highly poisonous, and you can take them if he is willing to give them;Old ladies and wives have suffered so many losses, how can they not learn well?Tanchun covered his face with a sarcastic smile, and after his turbulent mood calmed down, he turned around and returned to the original small courtyard, dug out a tin box from under the pomegranate tree, put it in his arms, and left lightly.

"Auntie, help me!" She didn't go back to the Rongguo Mansion, nor did she go to the Shenweihou Mansion, but she found Jia She's door.Because the big house borrowed from Aunt Zhao's original residence, she was already familiar with it.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Xing hurriedly welcomed Tanchun in because of the great favor from Aunt Zhao and Brother Huan.No matter how bad Tanchun is, she is Aunt Zhao's flesh and blood after all, but she cannot be ignored.

"Auntie, I already know why you and your uncle gave up the title and the Rongguo Mansion. When life was hard before, my wife threatened to sell me to the Goulan Courtyard. After all, I am not her own. Even if I die, I don't feel sorry for you." If it really comes to the point of bankruptcy, I don’t know how it will ruin me. I don’t have the face to ask my aunt, I can only ask you, please save me!” Tanchun knelt down and kowtowed while crying.

She knew very well that with Jia Huan's current power, Da Fang would never dare to offend him, not only did he not dare to offend him, but he had to be firmly attached to him.Even though she was rejected by Jia Huan, she was connected with him by blood after all, and with Aunt Zhao watching, Da Fang would never ignore her.

Mrs. Xing secretly sighed that Sister Tan is indeed a good person, and can always find a way out in desperate situations.But it was precisely because he was too shrewd and lacked a lot of human touch that he fell into today's field.Since she found the mansion, she had to settle down for the sake of Mrs. Zhao and Lord Hou.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing hurriedly pulled her up, let her live in the mansion with peace of mind, and promised to find a good family for her, then turned around and sent a letter to Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao felt sad, but she didn't go to see it herself, she just sent a few boxes of belongings.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Marquis Shenwei ransacked five families within two days, one was Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, and the other four were four kings with different surnames.Not only did he touch it, but he also put people into a mess. There was unspeakable suffering, and the reputation of the murderous god spread from the frontier to the capital.

On the third day, the four kings and eight princes finally stopped going to court, and they waited outside the Golden Temple with all the civil and military officials before dawn.

The fifth prince stood at the forefront, surrounded by the four kings of southeast, northwest and north, whispering something.Officials who owed money but have not yet been collected stood outside and listened, their expressions flustered and their eyes flickering.Those who did not owe money were mostly Qingliu or upstarts, and those who were far away from these people also gathered together to discuss Jiahou and his affairs.

The two groups of people do not communicate with each other, and they are clearly separated, which shows that the court has shown a tendency to split.

While the discussion was raging, Jiahou was seen wearing a bright red and golden court dress, coming step by step, without greeting anyone, and standing directly at the forefront in the middle.The generals he promoted spontaneously stood behind him one after another, their cold and tyrannical aura, their defiant posture, made the old aristocratic families and the upstarts of Qingliu unable to straighten their waists.

Just now, outside the Golden Luan Hall, where there was still a lot of murmurs, at this moment, the quiet needle drop can be heard.

After a while, it was still the Fifth Prince who sneered and broke the deadlock, "Knowing that my foundation is shallow but not forming good karma, be careful that the higher you climb, the harder you fall."

Jia Huan turned his head to look at him, then strode up to him suddenly, and whispered, "Why are you talking harshly while shaking your hands? Are you afraid of me?" He patted his handsome face and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I don't care about you. The way you pretend to be ruthless and show cowardice is so cute, it makes me want to rub you into my arms and give you a good kiss."

These words were whispered, and no one could hear them.Half of the Fifth Prince's face was numb, and his heart was beating wildly. A gust of blood poured from his dantian into his lower abdomen, and then rushed to the top of his head, burning his bronzed skin red.

"You, you..." You teased me!Good ring, why don't you say this in private, I want you to kiss me and hug me right now!The fifth prince was crying and begging in his heart, but he had a ferocious expression on his face, as if he was so angry by the other party that he couldn't say a word.

"The acting skills are pretty good, I like you." Jia Huan patted his cheek again, and then walked back to his original position and stood still.

The fifth prince's complexion became more and more ruddy, like a cooked shrimp, his facial features were hideous and distorted, but in the eyes of others, he looked like he was being provoked and threatened, and he was raging with anger.

The Qingliu upstarts moved a foot away to hide.The four kings and eight justices were about to step forward to appease, and fanned the flames by the way, but they heard a high-pitched voice in the Jinluan Hall, "The emperor is here..."

The emperor still dealt with disaster relief matters first, and he raised his hand and pointed to the Minister of the Household Department, but saw Wang Ziteng coming out of the crowd holding a small box, bowing and saying, "My majesty, this time Jiangnan suffered a once-in-a-century disaster. Floods endangered the lives of millions of people. The minister was so worried that he tossed and turned. After counting the family assets, he raised 190 million taels of silver. One was to pay off the debt owed by the household department; Please take a look at it, Your Majesty." Then he lifted the box above his head.

"Aiqing has a heart." The worried look on Zheng Shengdi's face eased a little, and he ordered Cao Yongli to go down to get the box.

As soon as Cao Yongli took a step, many ministers stood up one after another in the hall, and they all voluntarily turned over the debts owed by the household department.

Emperor Zhengsheng was overjoyed, and praised all the ministers for their good life.

Wang Ziteng returned to his original position. Seeing Jia Huan squinting his eyes, the cold gaze seemed to be poisoned. It made his back feel cold and his scalp numb. He couldn't help thinking to himself: Fortunately, I took the initiative to pay off the debt Otherwise, when this evil god came to kill him, he didn't know if he would lose his life.Just wait, you have offended so many great families, not to mention the emperor, even gods can't protect you!

This time, all the ministers of the early court gathered together, and the disaster relief matters were also resolved together. Emperor Zhengsheng kept smiling.

"If you want me to run errands for him, to gain hatred for him, and to have fun with him, is there such a beautiful thing in the world? Tell him to stay where he is cool!" Marquis Shenwei shook his sleeves and walked away.

Cao Yongli returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a bitter face.

"He refused to come? What did you say?" Zheng Shengdi asked while flipping through the accounts.

"Hou Ye said, said..." Cao Yongli wished he could cut off his tongue.

"What did you say? Don't change a single word!" Zheng Shengdi looked up at him.

"Hou Ye said to let the emperor stay where you are cool." Cao Yongli knelt under the imperial case and quietly wiped his sweat with his sleeve.

Emperor Zhengsheng was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and laughed until tears came out.This tone, this choice of words, is really in the style of Huan'er, he is the only one in the world who does not regard himself as an emperor, but a man of flesh and blood.very good very good...

Cao Yongli heaved a sigh of relief, quickly got up to serve the pen and ink, and thought to himself: Everyone in the world says that 'hitting is love and scolding is love', looking at the situation of the two of them, it really makes sense.If you don't treat the emperor as one of your own, Lord Hou would not dare to scold you like that!

-------------------------------------------------- -

Aunt Zhao was not interested in the ups and downs in the court, she received a post from the Xuanwei Hou Mansion that day, and went to the banquet happily after careful planning.Now, she can be regarded as one of the most respectable ladies in Beijing.

Xuanwei Hou Mansion also started with military exploits, but it has gradually declined after two generations.Because Xuanweihou's concubine served under the command of Shenweihou, he was supported by Shenweihou after the First World War in Xiyi, and now he is a third-rank general of Huaihua, which is enough to support the lintel.The old Feng Jun of Xuanweihou's Mansion thought about the future of his descendants and the prosperity of the family for a century, so he strongly advocated making friends with Aunt Zhao.

Some people like it and others hate it.Mrs. Xuanweihou sent her concubine to the western Xinjiang to put him to death, but who would have thought that he would return as a soldier and rise to the top? Even the concubine he brought along was named a third-rank gentleman, and his status was greatly improved.This made Mrs. Xuanweihou's liver crack. She hated Aunt Zhao, who was also a concubine, and made up her mind to make a big fool of her.

Aunt Zhao had just entered the table, and before she could say a few words, she saw a woman with disheveled hair break open the curtain and strangle her neck, cursing, "Bitch, bastard, you made me suffer so much!"

Aunt Zhao slapped him away with a slap, but when she took a closer look, it was Mrs. Wang.

Chapter 122 Mrs. Wang got up and rushed forward to tear up Aunt Zhao relentlessly, cursing incessantly, "A utterly unconscionable thing! It's clearly a concubine who wants to compete with the legitimate son, and now even the biological father and the concubine are not letting go However, we will only give up if we are forced to go bankrupt! You have such vicious thoughts, and you are not afraid of thunder and thunder!"

A group of girls and women surrounded her, but they just pretended to block it, and secretly let her go to entangle with Aunt Zhao.

Seeing the dumb girl practicing martial arts, Aunt Zhao also learned a few tricks in her free time, and before she got married, she was a poor and settled family. When it comes to fighting and swearing, she was really a master at it. He slapped more than a dozen hands, and cursed, "We have already separated the family and left the family property and title to the second wife. What are you dissatisfied with? You came to rob the door by yourself, and you should bear the consequences yourself. You can't complain." Others! God is watching, who should be hacked and who should not be hacked, he knows exactly what!"

This time, the maid actually went to stop Aunt Zhao, but was frightened by the bright dagger in the dumb girl's hand, so she dared not move a little.

Mrs. Wang was dizzy from being whipped, and shouted inarticulately, "Aunt Zhao, you are so brave, the little concubine dares to insult and beat the mistress. Your slave status is still on the genealogy, I want to sue the officials , I’m going to dip you in a pig cage! Unless you pay back the debt owed by the Ministry of Accounts, I will ruin your reputation! Let Jia Huan’s future be ruined!”

Aunt Zhao slapped her face more and more, kicked her on the chest again, and said with a sneer, "Go back and look through the genealogy, I am no longer from your Jia family, what kind of slavery, what kind of concubine, you are dreaming! My old lady is now a dignified first-rank imperial order!"

"Impossible, how could you get rid of slavery without the master's words!" Mrs. Wang shouted hysterically, holding her head.

"Master? Jia Zheng? What kind of onion is he? My mother wants to leave Jia's house, cancel her slave status, and live alone, all it takes is a word from me! He Jia Zheng is a fart!" Aunt Zhao became more and more angry. , Another burst of punching and kicking.

The ladies in the room looked dumbfounded.They have never seen such a vulgar, unruly, and shameless order, and when they regained their senses, they quickly asked the mother-in-law to fight.

Mrs. Xuanwei Hou panicked on the face, but laughed so hard in her heart.If this story is publicized today, let's see how Aunt Zhao will see people in the future!Even the god Weihou was very ashamed!

When the servants separated the two, Mrs. Wang had already been beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face, dying of breath.Aunt Zhao went to the hanging flower door and shouted, "Come here, throw this bitch out!"

But seeing a row of soldiers rushing in from outside the courtyard, all of them were strong and strong, with ferocious faces, and strong blood and evil spirits in their dark eyes, which made people feel terrified when they saw it.The noble ladies hurriedly covered their faces with handkerchiefs, quickly hid behind the screen, and secretly scolded Aunt Zhao who didn't know the rules and was arrogant and domineering.

The maids and women screamed and dodged, making the room a mess.

Two soldiers picked up the panic-stricken Mrs. Wang, dragged her all the way from the backyard to the front door, and threw her out like a dead dog.

Aunt Zhao was still angry, she raised her hand and lifted all the mats in the room, the wine pot, tea cups, dishes and other porcelain were smashed to pieces, and the pickles and oil stains were scattered everywhere. The messy room was even more unsightly now. up.

Mrs. Xuanwei Hou covered half of her face, poked her head out from behind the screen and yelled, "Mrs. Zhao, how can you beat my household utensils indiscriminately, and you are unreasonable! Be careful, I will sue you for bullying!"

Aunt Zhao dropped a few more vases before feeling better, she scoffed sharply, "Fucking shit, you're still reasoning with me! In the huge Xuanwei Hou Mansion, a crazy woman drove straight in to find my bad luck, and looked at me. Idiots are so foolish! You fucking deliberately made me lose face, and I don’t need to save face for you! I have no skills around me, but I have two strengths: one, I am unreasonable; two, I like to make jokes. If you see me from now on, you'd better take a detour, or you'll have to look good!"

Seeing that there was no good thing in the house, Aunt Zhao waved her hand and said, "Let's go!" When I went out, I met the old Feng Jun who came in a hurry, and she just sneered and walked away.

Madam Xuanweihou was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she was helped out by two women.All the noble ladies were also flustered and bid farewell to her one after another.It is said that like father, like son, but now this saying has to be changed - like mother, like son.Weird God Weihou is so domineering and lawless, but he followed Mrs. Zhao!

You reason with him, he plays with you, you play with him, he plays with you!It's better for the mother and son to avoid causing trouble.

Lao Feng Junke politely sent away all the female relatives, turned around and slapped Mrs. Xuanwei Hou loudly on the face, "You have done a good job! What will happen to An'er's future if you offend the Shenwei Hou Mansion? We will deal with it when the master comes back." you!"

In the evening, Marquis Xuanwei and his son and concubine rushed back from the yamen and gathered in the main hall to discuss the aftermath.Xie An, the concubine son of General Huaihua, said firmly, "In that case, my father will preside over the separation of the family between me and my second brother. I don't want a cent of the family business, and I only take my aunt out. In this way, my mother will never give up. You don't need to be on guard against me all the time, and you don't need to try your best to drag me down."

Madam Xuanweihou blushed with embarrassment, and pointed at him tremblingly.The aunt Xie Jin asked harshly, "What do you mean? Slander the aunt?"

"Is it slandering her? I know it well. How did an uninvited crazy woman break through so many gates and escape so many trails to find the backyard? There is no one here to arrange it. I will cut off my head for you!" Xie Xie As soon as An finished speaking, he drew out his saber.Following around Shenweihou, he naturally acquired that crazy and bloodthirsty temperament. At this time, his eyes were blood red and his face was ferocious, like a beast.

Xie Jin became timid at once, and was speechless for a while.

"Okay, the family will be separated. You three, Jin'er seven, I will find the clan elders to testify. You have a bright future, we will not drag you down. Later, I will prepare a cart of gifts and go with you to the Shenweihou Mansion to make amends. "The silent Xuanwei Hou finally spoke.

Lao Fengjun cried out in shock, "No! This is absolutely impossible!"

"Mother, I've made up my mind, don't stop me!" Marquis Xuanwei waved everyone out, and whispered into his mother's ear, "Mother, if you consider the century-old foundation of the Xie family, you should expel Xie An neatly." Go out. Jin'er is now very close to the Ninth Prince and the Fifth Prince, and has received some news. The weather in Daqing is likely to change. Xie An is loyal to the Marquis of Shenwei, and Marquis of Shenwei is also loyal to the Emperor. , it’s best to sever ties with him! When I and Jin Erbo have the merits of a dragon, why worry that Xuanweihou’s mansion cannot be revived?”

The old Feng Jun was terrified, and he tightly grabbed his son's wrist to stop him, "Yi'er, conspiracy is a serious crime of beheading, you must not get involved!"

Marquis Xuanwei shook his head disapprovingly, "There is an old sage behind his back, the five princes who have a lot of troops to build momentum, and the four kings and eight princes to support them all. How can this be counted as treason? It's just a new emperor. Let's watch, mother. It can be done overnight, and there will not be too many waves."

He pulled out his sore arm and comforted his mother repeatedly until she nodded and agreed to separate the family.

-------------------------------------------------- ---

Just after the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, a large-scale earth dragon broke out in Sichuan again. Several prosperous towns were turned into ruins, and countless people were killed or injured.

I don't know who spread the rumors, saying that the current day is incompetent, it is not the destiny, God can't see it, so the punishment is sent down frequently to warn.

In just three days, the rumors spread to everyone.The officials have come forward to testify against the Holy Emperor, asking him to issue an imperial edict to stabilize the hearts of the people.However, Emperor Zhengsheng ignored this and blindly urged the courtiers to step up preparations for disaster relief.

His domineering, self-willed behavior has aroused dissatisfaction from the aristocratic family and the Supreme Emperor.The undercurrent suppressed under the calm appearance is becoming more and more turbulent day by day, and only waiting for the right time will turn out the monstrous waves.

After another two months, the disasters caused by floods and earth dragons turned over gradually subsided.This day coincided with the birthday of the Supreme Emperor, and Emperor Zhengsheng listened to the opinions of his courtiers and held a grand banquet in order to wash away the bad luck pervading the court.

Civil and military officials gathered in Baohe Hall.

The Supreme Emperor was unable to move, so he could only half-ly lie on the main seat, with a thick blanket covering his waist. The Ninth Prince and the Supreme Imperial Concubine accompanied him on the left and right, accepting the courtiers' kneeling with smiles on their faces, and turned to prove the Holy Emperor Set aside.

Marquis Shenwei sat at the head of Emperor Zhengsheng as usual, and the two smiled and drank at each other, very comfortable.

"Qi'er, Marquis of Shenwei, come and have a drink with me." The Supreme Emperor suddenly waved to the two of them.The courtiers under the seat exchanged an inexplicable look with each other.

The two bowed to promise, took the fine wine given by the Supreme Emperor, said some words of blessing, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Go down and sit down." Seeing that the two had finished drinking, the smile on the Supreme Emperor's face immediately froze, and he waved his hands impatiently.

The two returned to their original positions respectfully and continued to drink, but unexpectedly after a while, Marquis Shenwei suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell limply on the chair.Emperor Zhengsheng quickly reached out to help, but saw many soldiers with knives and guns rushing into the hall, surrounded them, and put the cold shining blades on their necks.

Some of the courtiers looked on with sly smiles on their faces, some jumped up and scolded loudly, and some stood frozen on the spot, not knowing how to react.

Just at that time, the Fifth Prince, who had resigned halfway, stepped in wearing a golden armor, and saluted the Supreme Emperor and the Ninth Prince, "Father, Your Majesty, fortunately, I have lived up to my orders and have besieged the imperial city."

"Brother, thank you for your hard work." The Ninth Prince cupped his hands in thanks.

"You want to conspire?" Jia Huan braced his body and asked with blood in his eyes before Zheng Shengdi could speak.

"Brother, the emperor is unpopular. Father, after thinking about it for a while, decided to let me replace him. Why, Lord Shenwei has an opinion? Just speak up if you have an opinion!" The Ninth Prince laughed sinisterly.

"I don't have much opinion." Emperor Zhengsheng held the boy's wrist tightly, stopped him from speaking, looked at the Ninth Prince and asked, "I'm just curious. In terms of aptitude, background, and strength, the fifth child is far better than you, but why not?" Ascend yourself to the throne, but support you as emperor?"

The fifth prince's hand holding the knife tightened, wishing he could split Zhengsheng Emperor in half immediately, he hated in his heart: "It's this time, don't forget to trip me up, the third child is really a dead fox!"If Huan'er knew that I didn't want an heir because I couldn't have children, instead of guarding for him as I swore, I don't know how to fix me!

Thinking of this, the cold sweat on the fifth prince's forehead was scrambling to break out, and he glared at the ninth prince with cannibalistic eyes.
