The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

In the evening, Zhu Erjia, who was in charge of the kitchen, distributed the unused meat of the day to his subordinates one by one. What about the fat chickens and ducks that can’t be finished? Even we all ate until our bellies were full. There’s just one thing, when you’re full and happy, you must remember this benefit, and you must be careful when doing things. Our kitchen Nothing else, the fire must be well-growthed, the hearth must be cleaned when leaving, no sparks can be left, and the charcoal and firewood must be bundled and placed on that side so that the fire does not stick to it. There is still rice Put the noodles and eggs in their own jars, don't let the mice trample on them..."

The subordinates had already heard calluses in their ears, and they all agreed verbally: "Yes, yes, we dare not be careless."

When everything was tidied up, an old woman was left to watch in the outer courtyard, while a large group of people locked the inside and outside of the big kitchen and went home.

However, on this day, the most worrying thing of Zhu's family happened.

The big kitchen is flooded!

The fire was raging, and it was night again, and the people of Jia's mansion were unable to save it in time, but luckily it didn't spread, only the kitchen was burned, and other places were not affected.

Mother Jia was furious and ordered a thorough investigation to see if someone deliberately set the fire on fire or the kitchen staff carelessly caused the fire.After checking for half a day, there was no sign of arson. We can only conclude that the kitchen was poorly managed, and the sparks in the remaining furnace rekindled and caused the fire. Fortunately, there was not much loss, so we had to use a few people in charge of the kitchen to make an example. The servants on errands inside and outside Jia's mansion will be careful about their errands in the future.

So, Jia's mother discussed with several daughter-in-laws and grand-daughter-in-laws under the seat that several leaders in the kitchen should be punished and fined half a year's money and food as a punishment. Mrs. Wang who was present took the lead in expressing that the old lady's ruling was very good. Yes, let it be.

Mrs. Xing curled her lips and said, "Old lady, forgive my daughter-in-law for saying something that she doesn't know how to say. I think this punishment is light. The big kitchen was burned. What a big deal. Fortunately, the fire was put out in time, otherwise it would spread and the consequences would be disastrous." How can it be said that all the slaves respected by beating the board and fined money and food? According to me, why don't these people be driven out of the kitchen, or go to work outside the second gate or work in the village, so that the people in the mansion The subordinates all know that if you are not careful when you are on an errand, and if you miss something, the master will not forgive you lightly. It’s all about the money, and in the future you should be lazy, and those who should steal things are stealing things, all the rules have been broken!”

Mrs. Wang wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and said with a dry smile: "This is the old lady's words. The old lady's words and verdicts are the most appropriate. Why are you and I talking?"

Mrs. Xing sneered and said: "The old lady is the most wise. I am convinced of the old lady's verdict, but I am afraid that the old lady will be deceived by others!"

Mrs. Wang usually doesn't like to talk, but this time she uncharacteristically told Mrs. Xing that you came over and I said the same thing, which made Jia's mother suspicious. Later, she listened carefully to what they said and found out that there was something wrong in the big kitchen. Mrs. Wang's confidant was in charge of Zhu Er's family. Later, Zhu Er's family recruited many people whom she trusted to enter, and they helped Mrs. Wang's faction take control of the big kitchen. Mrs. Wang's faction is the first to ask for water, and people on Mrs. Xing's side naturally find it difficult to understand those who crowd out other houses, but they just haven't found the right time to attack.Now that he has the opportunity, how can he not run on Mrs. Wang?

Just as they were talking lively, Jia Amnesty also came to visit his mother at this time. Hearing this, he joined in and said, "Is this okay? How many slaves want to turn the world upside down? I eat and drink, and eat and drink again." Take it, we don't care about it, and now we are going to make such a thing! If you don't punish, you can burn the whole house with a torch tomorrow. According to me, a few slaves should be killed !"

At this moment, Mrs. Wang's eyes were straightened, and she couldn't speak of intercession. In the end, under the mediation of Jia Mu, she decided to dismiss the kitchen steward and rush to work in Zhuangzi, and she was never allowed to work in the second sect again.As for the kitchen, while it was being repaired, new people were replaced. This time, Mrs. Jia's trustworthy Lai everyone would appoint a proper person to take charge of the kitchen, and two additional deputy stewards would be appointed, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang. The wives each nominate one.

Thus, the era when Mrs. Wang was in charge of the big kitchen alone was over.

The new steward of the big kitchen, surnamed Xiong, is a distant relative of Lai everyone. He is neither fat nor thin. The woman is very good, and she can't help but feel glad that she made a good move.

Whether to punish or not to punish the stewards of the big kitchen is secondary. Anyway, they are all slaves. They are nothing more than obeying the orders of the master Mrs. Wang behind the scenes. It is good to eat with confidence.However, they are all Mrs. Wang's confidantes, how can he speak for himself?Jia Huan thought that he was currently weak in Jia's mansion, his arms could not twist his thighs, no matter what he was stronger than Mrs. Wang, just relying on intimidation or coercion would not help, so he could only resort to shady tricks and beat up the original staff in the kitchen In the end, we had to wait until we got a new team before making any plans, so there was this seemingly accidental incident.For Jia Huan from modern times, it is still very easy to set fire quietly and without showing any trace.

Jia Huan smiled and said to Mrs. Xiong: "Aunt Xiong, I'm just asking you for this matter. Aunt Zhao is going to give birth soon, but you don't know, she just can't control her mouth. She likes it the most." Eat spicy food. I heard that when a woman has a child in her belly, the baby born from eating hot food will have that kind of yellow lame on the head. It’s so ugly. I want to be white and fat My little brother and little sister, I can only come here to ask you for help. I will send you Aunt Zhao’s daily recipes. Please follow suit. It won’t exceed her quota, and I won’t ask you too much. Put money in. Also, all the ingredients and spices in her dishes are not used, only salt is used for seasoning. Anyway, it's only been this month. She can't control this, and I, as a son, have to supervise it! "

Lady Xiong laughed when she heard this, and said, "Third Master, you are such a good brother. You care so much about your younger siblings who are safe. I am the only one here. You have to cross the river by feeling the stones for everything. I have written down what Third Master told you. .Actually, I don't need to be told by the third master. I don't dare to be negligent. The child in Aunt Zhao's belly is about to be born, and the old lady is talking about it. Something happened in the kitchen again. How many heads do I dare to be careful? An errand? Third Master, just rest assured. "

After the kitchen is settled, Jia Huan will launch a plan to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao, throw Jia Baoyu away, and make Mrs. Wang too busy to take care of herself, so she has no time and energy to deal with Aunt Zhao.

Originally, according to what Jia Huan said to Xue Pan that day, it was best not to involve Qin Zhong in molesting Jia Baoyu, but now, I can't control that much, and everyone should seek their own blessings.

It is said that after Qin Keqing died, Qin Zhong continued to hang out with Jia Baoyu, and it was not fun in the school after all. The two were gluey and wished they could be together all the time. In the past, Qin Zhong was in Ningguo almost every night because of his sister's care. Staying overnight in the mansion, Jia Baoyu also found excuses to hang out in the East mansion, often returning home in the middle of the night.However, today is not what it used to be, once Qin Keqing died, Qin Zhong would have no reason to stay in Ningguo Mansion for the night.

Although Jia Baoyu is a phoenix egg in Jia's mansion, in fact, he has a good name. The monthly allowance for one month is the same as that of Jia Huan, ten taels of silver. Being in charge of the big servant girl Xiren, it is impossible to ask him to buy a house with a sum of money and hide in the golden house.

The two of them have no place, but the lust ring is like a runaway wild horse, wishing they could stay together every day.Under the full of lust, Qin Zhong even brought Jia Baoyu back to his home to mess with. The taste of cheating became more exciting because of the taboo. Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu became bolder after several times of doing it without anyone noticing.Jia Baoyu is an unintentional quarrel, and Jia Huan is a thief, so you can tell the general idea at a glance. After going back and forth, you can find out the secret activities of Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong in the words, and you have an idea in your heart: Qin Zhong His father, Qin Bangye, is a doctor of the Department of Construction and Maintenance of the Ministry of Industry, and he belongs to the same yamen as Jia Zheng. If Qin Bangye knew that his only son was raped by Jia Zheng's son, what would happen?According to common sense, Jia Huan speculated that even a clay figurine should be bloody, not to mention that Qin Bangye was born as a Jinshi and had the arrogance of a literati?It's just that I don't have a backer, and I haven't made a name for myself even after I'm dozens of years old.According to the temperament of a literati, Qin Bangye might grab Jia Zheng's neck and shake wildly for a while: I am lower than you in official position, so should my son be lower than your son?Why is your son playing with your ass?

That would be fun.

Jia Huan's plan has been decided.

On this day, Jia Dairu went to class for a while and then left early, so Qin Zhong and Jia Baoyu looked at each other happily, packed up their things and slipped out of the school one after the other, meeting with each other outside Later, Jia Baoyu claimed to be sending Qin Zhong home, and ordered his carriage to drive in the direction of Qin Zhong's house.

Jia Huan waited for a while, and then went out, but instead of going home, he went in the direction of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

In the car, Youer was ordered by Jia Huan to replace the green clothes and caps that the servants often wear, and was dressed as a common schoolboy in Jia Jiayi School.

With a mournful face, You'er was so nervous that her fingers trembled, she said: "Third Master, my legs tremble when I see an official, aren't you embarrassing me?"

Jia Huan held You'er's face with both hands, looked him in the eyes firmly, and said, "What are you afraid of! I will take care of everything for you! You are usually very smart, why do you turn back when it comes to the critical moment?" How about shrinking? How can I rely on you to do big things in the future?"

Encouraged by her master, Youer finally plucked up the courage, got out of the car, and pumped herself up enough, then rushed to the door of the Ministry of Industry, facing the doorman who was holding a killing stick Said: "Brother, please let me know. I am a classmate of Mr. Qin Bangye's young master. Mr. Qin is sick in school today. Please ask me to inform Mr. Qin."

When Qin Bangye came out of the Ministry of Industry, Youer tried his best to show the demeanor of an ordinary scholar, so that he would not suspect anything else, and followed Jia Huanjiao's words, saying that Qin Zhong's condition was very serious and must be Qin Bangye immediately went back to watch in person.
