The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

Mrs. Wang's misfortune obviously did not affect the prosperity of the Lin family.

After welcoming Liu's family, I invited my in-laws to gather again, waiting for life and death to recover. It is already snowy weather in November in the capital!

Because of the bad weather, the temperature dropped, and Lin Hai started to take a sedan chair to get off work!Every day someone picks up a pick-up point, there is Tang Pozi in the sedan chair, hot snacks and hot tea, decadent feudal life, big love!

Back in the Lin Mansion, outside the upper room, two clever little girls opened the curtain to invite Lin Hai in.After entering the door, I was taken aback, I saw many boxes on the ground, all kinds of things in the boxes were precious things, but they had everything that one expects to find.

There are ivory, rhinoceros horn, peacock tail, emerald feather, turtle tube, gemstone, coral, rose water, benzoin, arhat incense, quick incense, sandalwood, yellow ripe incense, real incense, frankincense, tree incense, woody incense, clove, black Incense, pepper, sumac, nutmeg, white cardamom, longan, big maple and western cloth, etc.It was so full that there was almost no room for people to step down.

Seeing Lin Hai coming in, Kong Jiayi and Yuan Lin hurriedly got up to greet him. Kong Jiayi ordered: "Master is back, serve hot tea quickly. It's really cold here. Master go out and take care of yourself." Tea for Lin Hai

Lin Hai took the hot tea, responded, then looked at the things in the box and said with a smile: "Madam, are you going to open a grocery store? Where did you get all these things?"

Kong Jiayi smiled and said, "What are you talking about, master? These were sent from the south. They are all good things that the Xue family found from those countries in the west. I didn't pay attention to the delivery a few days ago. I thought it was from the past. For example, who knows that there are so many that they are asked to open now. They are all good things, the master has a look, if there is anything you like, if there is, then pick it first."

Lin Hai smiled and said, "I have everything there, and you've taken care of everything, so you don't need anything. But Ye'er and Yu'er, you ask, it's the Chinese New Year soon, so we should exchange a few festive things."

Kong Jiayi laughed when she heard this, pointed at Yuan Lin and said, "I heard what the master said, if you have anything you like, just take it."

Yuan Lin was a little flattered and said: "I have everything there, mother, you should keep it!"

"I know you are filial. This is given to you by the master and I, so what are you afraid of?" Then he asked a few people to come out and carve the ivory into a pen holder.Carvings, tassels made of peacock tails, gemstones and corals of various colors, rose water and other things were sent to Lin Ye and Yuan Lin's room.He picked out some fan pendants, Suxiang and other things and sent them to Lin Yu's room.

Received these things.Yuan Lin also stepped back!

After Yuan Lin retreated, Kong Jiayi asked, "What's wrong with these things?" She clearly saw that Lin Hai frowned when she heard that these things were sent by Xue's family!They are all such old couples, so they naturally know some of Lin Hai's habits.

Lin Hai shook his head, "It's nothing. I'm afraid I'm overthinking it, and there's no news from Jiangnan. I guess it's Xue Gao's business this year!" It's not to blame Lin Hai for thinking too much.These things this year are two or three times that of previous years!

Kong Jiayi thought Lin Hai was worried about something, but it turned out to be this, so he smiled and said, "What's the matter, sir, you forgot. Every year is the year of the test! I remember that in September, it seemed that Xue's family came to announce the good news. They said they My uncle won the exam! I guess I want to push myself and come to the capital to take the exam every year!"

Although Xue Gao's family is also Xue's family, they are not close to the four major families, and during the scientific examination, it is better to find Qingliu to be more reliable.The Xue family will not only know the civil servants of the Lin family, but whoever let Lin Shen take charge of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of scientific examinations.Xue Gao would be a fool if he didn't come to curry favor with the Lin family at this time!

Lin Hai was stunned, "I forgot about it, you can pick up some things and send them to your second brother tomorrow!" Since you have taken things, you have to do something, it's not good for Lin Shen to help for free!Especially when Xue's family and Lin's family have no relationship at all, only interests.

"Of course." There is no reason in the world to eat a king's meal. If you want the horse to run fast, it is impossible not to feed the horse, Kong Jiayi smiled.

Lin Hai patted Kong Jiayi's hand, "I don't worry if you handle the matter."

Kong Jiayi cast a reproachful glance at Lin Hai, with infinite charm...

I don't know why this winter is so cold. Mother Jia is getting old and afraid of the cold, so she never went out.When waiting for the New Year's Eve, the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law are also gathered in their own room, talking and laughing.

Although Wang Xifeng did not please Jia Mu as much as in the original book, and her temperament has changed a lot, but her sharp mouth has not changed much, and the words she speaks are still so pleasant, which made Jia Mu laugh out loud.

Before Jia Mu's laughter fell, she heard a burst of cries coming from afar. Jia Mu frowned, and before she could speak, she saw Mrs. Xing rushing in, knelt down in front of Jia Mu and cried: "Old lady!" , it’s incredible!”

Everyone was surprised when they saw her appearance. It turned out that her clothes were rumpled and half of her bun was untied. She cried so much that her face was full of tears. Jiamu said angrily, "What is this for? I'm not afraid of being laughed at!"

Mrs. Xing cried: "Old lady! It's not good, my lord, my lord..."

Mother Jia was startled, and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Xing said: "My lord...he was taken away by the people from the Ministry of Punishment!"

Jia's mother turned pale with fright, her eyes went dark, and she almost passed out. Everyone called out several times in a panic, pinched them once, and took the tranquilizing pills. What a crime! The empress has just gone, and Baoyu’s jade has been tossing for a whole day, and finally settled down, but something like this happened again..."

Everyone hastened to persuade them, but it was Lian's second grandmother who had an idea, and said: "The current plan, we need to send someone to find out quickly. What is this for?"

Jia's mother hurriedly said: "Exactly, what Lian's daughter-in-law said is, go and bring in one of the boys you follow, and I will ask him personally!"

A girl had already gone in a hurry, and brought a clever boy in for a while.The boy was only about ten years old, and when he entered the door, he didn't even dare to lift his head, he only lowered his head. When he came to Jia Mu, he saw many people in silk skirts standing on the ground, and he didn't even dare to breathe.He knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, listening to Mother Jia's instructions.

Mother Jia asked, "Are you with the elder?"

The boy said: "Yes, the slave is called Xiaoliuzi, and he is with the master."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Do you know why the old man was taken away?" The little six said, "Yes... the old man is..." Jia Mu said, "Tell me, I don't know." Blame you."

The little six said: "Master was drinking in Jinxiangyuan, and he got drunk. Who would have thought that suddenly a group of officers and soldiers came in and said that they were looking for some kind of robber. Who wanted to see the master. They made a call, but the servant didn't know what to say." It seemed like he was scolding the old man. Then he tied up the old man."

Mother Jia bowed her head in silence, then asked suspiciously, "Where is this Jinxiang Courtyard?"

Although Xiaoliuzi is young, he is also clever. Hearing Jiamu's question, his whole body trembled like chaff.He was too embarrassed not to answer, he muttered for a while, and then said: "This Jinxiang Courtyard is... is... the biggest... brothel..."

Mrs. Wang and the others all blushed inside, but fortunately Jia Xichun had been sent back to wait, otherwise I don't know what to say.

Mother Jia was trembling with anger, and scolded: "Okay, okay. It's amazing. At such an age, I have grandchildren. It's not enough to beg for concubines one after another at home, and I have to go to those dirty places. It's okay if he doesn't want his own face. Now he has brought us into trouble!"

The little six knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, and everyone dared not say a word.

Mrs. Xing was so anxious that she couldn't help it.Although she and Jia She are a heartless couple, Jia She is gone.She was afraid that it would be even more difficult, and she didn't care about Jia Mu's anger at the moment, and cried: "The master is just confused for a while, please calm down the old lady and save him, he is so old and locked in prison. ..."

Jia Mu said angrily: "You also know that he is so old, why don't you persuade him? It's all because of pampering him that this kind of thing happened!"

Mrs. Xing cried: "I never tried to persuade him, but he has to listen to it."

Jia Mu said: "If he doesn't listen to you, you should come and tell me, why don't I remember that you said a word to me?" Mrs. Xing was speechless.Mother Jia sighed and said, "Forget it, ask someone to inquire." Mrs. Xing agreed and went for a while.Grandma Lian'er also followed Mrs. Xing back to the big room when she saw this!

Over there, Jia Zhenjia Rong also got the news, but it was awkward at this time and it was not easy to come here.What's more, they are all regular visitors here, so they were afraid of being asked by Jiamu about this time, so they used their words to find out the news, so they had to send Youshi to ask Ann to speak.

After sending someone out to inquire, Second Mistress Lian was resting in the house, when she suddenly heard the girl say, "Second Master is back." When the curtain was lifted, Jia Lian had come in coughing and sighing, Second Mistress Lian hurriedly said, "Is there any?" Do you believe it?"

Jia Lian said: "The big prison of the Criminal Ministry is guarded like an iron bucket, and no wind can get in. What news can there be?"

Lian's Second Mistress heard that his tone was not going well, and knew that she was offended, so she didn't argue, and ordered the servant girl to pour a cup of tea, bring it to him, and said: "Okay, don't be angry, let me tell you, this No news about this kind of thing is the best news, but if there is no news, I will get the old lady to talk, otherwise the old man will have to worry."

Jia Lian let out a "bah" and said, "What do you call this? I've been caught whoring/whoring, and I want my son to try to save him!"

Second Grandma Lian sneered in her heart, and said to herself: What kind of good news are you?Don't leave yourself so clean!What if I don't know anything?It's just that Jia Lian cleaned up the house and didn't do anything to raise a house, so Lian's second grandma just turned a blind eye!

Jia Lian suddenly sat up straight from the kang, and said: "I suddenly remembered, isn't Mr. Feng, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, the Lin family's in-laws? I have to ask him to go, we are also relatives."

Second Mistress Lian asked puzzledly: "Why didn't I know about this? When did I have such a prominent relative!" Nowadays, Second Grandma Lian is basically responsible for the Jia family's family friends. a relative.

"Do you still remember, Uncle Lin?" Jia Lian asked.

"Remember!" Second Mistress Lian nodded, and said other relatives of the Jia family, apart from the lost Prince Teng, Lin Chang is the most powerful and powerful, how could she not remember!

Jia Lian heard Second Grandma Lian said that she remembered, that's good, so she said: "Master Feng's wife is the aunt of the Lin family. I remember that when Cousin Lin got married, Master Feng came. In this way, we What is a relative who is not turning a corner?"

Second Grandma Lian shook her head when she heard this, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"What's wrong with that?" Jia Lian asked.

Second Grandma Lian smiled and said, "I am not as knowledgeable as my second master. It's just that I know a little bit about the world. Although there is a way, our family and the Feng family have nothing to do with each other. If you come to the door so rashly, what's your idea? How can anyone not know.

Besides, it's the time of Chinese New Year, and they are bustling with excitement, so we rushed up and said: Our uncle was taken away by your cousin's subordinates when he was visiting the kiln, please let him go!I'd like to see how the Feng family responds.Should he entertain the second master in a good manner, or let someone throw the second master out? "

Mei Momo couldn't hold back her early laughter, and the other maids also couldn't help lowering their heads and pursing their lips.Jia Lian's face turned red and white, and said: "Then what should we do? You can't just watch the old man suffer in prison!"

Second Grandma Lian rolled her eyes.Said: "Of course this is impossible. Tomorrow you go to my natal house and ask my father. I always feel that this matter is not that simple. It is not a matter of a day or two for the old man to go to that kind of place, but this It was a coincidence that he was caught at the right time!"

In fact, Second Grandma Lian didn't say a word, that is: These soldiers all have eyes.This New Year's Eve, arresting Jia Fu, who only has a title but no real power, what is he doing?It can't always be, if you are full, hold on!

Now Jia Lian has no choice but to follow Lian's second grandmother's advice!Let's go to Mei's house first to find out his ideas.

However, the news about Jia Amnesty being arrested and imprisoned immediately spread to Jia Yingchun's husband.But what is strange is that this Mo family did not cause any commotion, as if Jia Amnesty was not the father of their grandmother.It's a little confusing.

Uncle Mo's aunt, Biyu, took a maid to wait on Jia Yingchun to wash, and then combed her hair and put on makeup. Looking at Jia Yingchun's beautiful and round face in the mirror, she smiled and said, "Grandma's complexion has gotten better recently. It's the Chinese New Year. Uncle said to wear Let’s be more festive. My uncle sent two sets of clothes yesterday, which are in good style.”

Jia Yingchun asked happily: "What color is it? Let me have a look."

Biyu hurriedly asked the girl to fetch it.But I saw one in the shape of red and white butterflies, and the other in the shape of lotus flowers with light purple cloud patterns and folded branches, both of which are fashionable styles.Bihuan laughed and said, "Grandma, which one is better? I think the red one is more festive, it's better to wear this one."

Jia Yingchun looked at it carefully, nodded, and asked the embroidered tangerines to be taken down and put away, ready to be worn again in a few days.

Xiuju agreed, glanced at Biyu next to her, and sneered in her heart.

Suddenly another girl brought breakfast. When Jia Yingchun looked at it, it was a bowl of pearl rice porridge and four dishes of delicate side dishes, and he ate two mouthfuls.After the meal, a girl came up with water to wait for Jia Yingchun to wash.

When she was busy, she saw a maid hurriedly coming outside, whispering in Xiuju's ear for a while, then Xiuju's face changed and she asked, "Is this true?"

The servant girl hurriedly said: "Who dares me to lie to my sister?"

Xiuju said again: "When did this happen?"

The servant girl said: "It's been a while, and I didn't hear the truth. Just sister, please don't tell people that I said it. I heard them say that the uncle issued a death order. If there is a little wind in front of you, you will be killed immediately!"

Xiuju nodded, brought out a silver key and gave it to her, said: "Don't worry, go ahead! I'll talk to you again in two days." The maid hurriedly left.

After Jia Yingchun finished washing and washing, she casually asked, "What did the maid say, she's so mysterious."

Xiuju hurriedly smiled and said: "It's nothing, but the two women in the backyard have dirty mouths, so she heard it. I have sent someone to tell Wu Liang's family, so that she can teach her a lesson. Grandma must not Keep these things in mind, and taking good care of your baby is the real thing.”

It turned out that Jia Yingchun was pregnant. No wonder everyone in the Mo family kept it from her!Even the Mo family didn't reveal a little bit, it turned out that they were afraid that something unexpected would happen to Jia Yingchun after hearing the news.You must know that Jia Yingchun is the first child, it seems that the Mo family still attaches great importance to Jia Yingchun.

Jia Yingchun nodded after hearing this. After so many years in Jia's family, she naturally knew the importance of children.Don't talk about other people, just look at Jia Zheng's aunt, you will know.Aunt Zhao has a son and a daughter, and even dared to have sex with Mrs. Wang, but she did not give birth to Aunt Zhou, so she could only be a transparent person.

Seeing that Jia Yingchun believed it, Xiuju went to the house and got tired of it. Only then did she feel relieved and ordered the little maid to come.After ordering like this once, let the little maid guard Jia Yingchun before coming out of the room.

Before returning to his resting place, Siqi lifted the curtain and came in. Xiuju hurriedly sat up and called "Sister."

The two said a few words, and after talking about the arrangements for the New Year, Xiuju hesitated again and again, and still gritted his teeth and asked: "Sister, you are outside, you don't know anything like us sitting in a well and watching the sky here. But I heard..."

Siqi asked strangely, "What are you talking about?"

Xiu Ju lowered her head, and asked after a long while: "Have you ever heard that the old man sent you to jail?"

Siqi sighed: "Why don't you know? Although the Jia family wants to keep it a secret, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. Besides, you don't know the Jia family. Anything can cause a commotion, let alone such a big event. " Then his face flushed, and he said again: "What's more, it was taken away for such a reason, and now it has already spread widely. There is everything you say, and everyone takes it as a joke. How can you not know ?”

Xiuju was startled and said: "So, you are only hiding it from a few of us? It's fine if others know it and don't tell it. Why didn't you tell us?"

Siqi sneered and said: "This matter is the stupid thing done by the old man. If grandma finds out, what can I do? It doesn't have to make her unhappy. It's just to make the old man here unhappy. Now grandma has a good temper It's easier to change, do you still want her to be the same as before?

Well, anyway, the Jia family has lost all face.Who sees who hides.Fortunately, grandma is a married daughter, so the splashed water has nothing to do with their family.Besides, there are people from Jia's family coming, it's not that Jia's family has no one.What does the daughter who is going to marry care about.And now that the old man has just survived, it is possible to exchange his own future for the old man's life.Even if grandma found out, she was just in a hurry, what's the use of it?" After finishing speaking, he said: "You didn't tell grandma, did you? "

Xiuju said: "How can I dare to say, let's not say that our uncle issued a death order to hide it, even if I tell her, I dare not tell her. Now she is finally happy, and the uncle treats her well. Grandma is now I'm pregnant again, I'm really afraid that something will happen..."

Siqi said: "It's a good thing for the uncle to keep it a secret. It's just that you have to be more restrained, and don't let people chew their tongues in front of grandma."

Xiuju frowned and said, "Don't I know this yet? It's just that other people can say it, but that Jasper..."

Siqi was a little surprised, and asked: "What's wrong with her? Isn't she just an aunt, now you are the big maid next to grandma, and you can't stop her mouth?"

Xiuju sighed and said: "Knowing people, knowing face but not knowing heart, Biyu is already an aunt, and she has long been on the opposite side with grandma! Although she is doing well now, who knows that she has such a thought in her heart! The mouth is always on her face, if she pokes it out, I won't be able to stop it. If something really happens by then, it will be too late to regret it!"

This happened, why did the uncle order not to tell Jia Yingchun? It's because he valued the child in her stomach. If the child is gone, and there is another good or bad in the Jia family, then Jia Yingchun's life will be difficult!

"Don't think about it too much, let grandma see nothing! There is the second master Lian on the left and right, so it is impossible for him to watch the elder master suffer in prison! What's more, although the Elder Master's matter is a little confused and hard to talk about, it is still much lighter than the Xue family's matter! It may be released in a few days!" Siqi said comfortingly, and the matter has not been resolved until now. I can only think in a good direction!

Xiuju sighed and said: "Now that things have come to an end, I can only think about it! I just hope that the second master Lian has the ability to erase this matter before it reaches grandma's ears! Otherwise, these days , I'm really flustered."

The two looked at each other, and they both saw each other's helplessness. They always knew that Jia Amnesty was out of tune, but they never thought that he could be out of tune to this extent. After all, he was already in his 60s and [-]s, and he still went to that general place. Don't be ashamed, it's really speechless...

Bow down and thank Long Zisu for his precious pink vote!
