Chapter 176: Sunny is the Shadow
After Lin Zhixiao and his wife learned about the incident in Yihong Courtyard, they were both panicked and angry.
King Zhongshun ordered them to monitor the Jia family, especially Yihongyuan's every move, and the daughter had just left Yihongyuan a month ago, and now even the only eyeliner Huixiang was thrown out by mistake, and her heart was suddenly anxious.
It's just that now that the situation has become like this, the two of them have no choice but to rearrange and monitor Jia Baoyu.
After knowing that all this in front of them was caused by Wang Xifeng, the two of them suddenly hated Wang Xifeng in their hearts.
On the night that Qingwen was kicked out, Lu Zheng learned the details of the incident from Jia Yun, and came to report what happened to the Jia family.
It happened that Daiyu was also in the study, so Lu Jing left Daiyu to listen to it together.
Daiyu heard that Mrs. Wang raided Yihong Courtyard and kicked Qingwen and Shen'er out of Yihong Courtyard, and sighed a little in her heart, others just returned it, but Qingwen and herself are quite compatible, and she also likes Qingwen's straightforward nature.
Lu Jing was very shocked when she heard this, she didn't expect Mrs. Wang to drive Qingwen out of Yihong Courtyard in advance, it seems that the pregnancy attack had a great impact on Mrs. Wang.
After Daiyu sighed, Lu Jing told Daiyu the inside story behind the matter.
After hearing this, Daiyu sighed even more in her heart, she didn't expect that now the contradiction between the big house and the second room of the Jia family has reached such a point, but these maids are suffering, and the master fights, and they are also implicated, and they pity Qingwen and the others even more, and at the same time, they also have a new understanding of Wang Xifeng's behavior and methods.
Lu Jing saw Lu Zheng's eyes, so he said: "If there is anything to say directly, there is no need to hide it in front of Madame!" ”
Lu Zheng hurriedly replied: "It's a girl who asked someone to bring a letter, and she wants to ask me to borrow money for Qingwen to redeem herself!" ”
Before Lu Jing could speak, Daiyu asked with confusion, "Who is the girl?" ”
"It's Qingwen's cousin-in-law, Lu Zheng often sends people to her to inquire about the news, but she doesn't know that it's us behind it!" Lu Jing explained.
This girl is also a wonderful flower in the Red Mansion, half of the men in Ning Rong's second mansion have been read, and she has always wanted to have a spring breeze with Jia Baoyu.
However, she is very well-informed, and she knows a lot of inside information in Jia Mansion very clearly.
Daiyu knew in her heart that this girl should be the eyeliner of her husband in the Jia family, and she secretly guessed in her heart that she didn't know how many such people were in the Jia family.
"For the sake of her providing so much information, you don't have to borrow it, you can give her more money and let her redeem Qingwen!" After a pause, Lu Jing said again: "Send some silver to Jia Yun and let him redeem the pendant." ”
When Lu Zheng heard this, he was about to turn around and leave.
Daiyu asked, "Why is she in a hurry to redeem Qingwen?" ”
Although he has freedom after redemption, he has also lost the source of his life, and if he does not marry, his life will only be more miserable.
Lu Zheng hurriedly stopped and replied: "I heard that the second wife of the Jia family wants to match Qingwen to a little girl with a very bad temperament, according to her, that little girl likes to drink, and her temper is extremely bad, and she has tortured her two daughters-in-law to death, Qingwen is unwilling, she only wants to seek death, so the girl asked someone to bring a letter!" ”
After hearing this, Daiyu felt a chill in her heart, what a big crime Qingwen had committed, Mrs. Wang was willing to force her to die, and her senses were even worse for Mrs. Wang, and she felt a little more pity for Qingwen, so she asked: "After she ransomes Qingwen, how do you plan to place Qingwen?" ”
"I don't know about this little one!" Lu Zheng shook his head and said, he didn't have direct contact with many girls, he sent people to contact him.
Daiyu pondered for a moment and said, "Husband, the concubine wants to recruit Qingwen into our mansion." ”
"Madame, do what you want!" Lu Jing nodded and said, Qing is Daiying, it would be good if the two of them could get together.
Although Daiyu is smart-minded, but kind-hearted, sometimes it is inevitable to be a little soft-hearted, although Zijuan is loyal, but it is not a strong character, if there is a strong personality like Qingwen, dare to say and dare to do someone to assist Daiyu, it is also a good thing.
Thinking of this, Lu Jing was very much looking forward to the wonderful reaction that the combination of Daiyu and Qingwen could have, so he instructed Lu Zheng: "You let the girl go to redeem Qingwen first!" ”
Lu Zheng should be the queen and salute and leave.
After there were only two people left in the room, Lu Jing said: "As far as I know, Qingwen's deed of sale is in the hands of the old lady, and many girls want to redeem Qingwen, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, and the old lady doesn't know about Qingwen's expulsion now, if she knows, maybe there will be some twists and turns!" ”
"Don't worry, the concubine will take care of it!" Daiyu nodded.
Lu Jing asked with some curiosity: "Madame, is she planning to ask the old lady directly for Qingwen?" ”
"No, let's guess!" Daiyu shook her head and said, if she directly asks the old lady for it, she doesn't owe a favor, and the old lady may not let go, maybe she just sends Qingwen over and pinched the deed of sale into her hand.
"Then wait for Qingwen to redeem her, and then buy Qingwen?" Lu Jing said with a smile.
"Husband only guessed half right!" Dai Yu smiled and said.
"Madame wants to help Qingwen redeem herself first?" Lu Jing asked.
Daiyu nodded, judging from Mrs. Wang's treatment of Qingwen, she must not let Qingwen go so easily, if many girls go directly to redeem Qingwen, it is estimated that it will be difficult, so if you want to save Qingwen, you need to help Qingwen redeem herself first.
"What is Madame going to do?" Lu Jing asked.
"Husband, you can guess!" Daiyu smiled.
Lu Jing guessed a few answers, but Daiyu shook her head and denied it.
"If you can't guess again, then you can sleep in the study today!" Dai Yujiao smiled.
"Madam, this punishment is too harsh!" Lu Jing smiled, took out a jade pendant as he spoke, and shook it in front of Daiyu's eyes.
Seeing this, Daiyu nodded Lu Jing's forehead and said, "Okay, it seems that you have been perfunctory to me just now!" ”
"How dare Xiaosheng perfunctory Mrs.!" Lu Jing hurriedly smiled and said: "It's just that when I heard Madame's punishment, I was anxious, so I was in a hurry and guessed Madame's thoughts." ”
"Hmph, don't want to deceive the concubine with rhetoric!" Daiyu pretended to be angry.
Lu Jing couldn't help but smile and said, "What does Madam want?" ”
"The concubine wants to find her husband to borrow a few people!" Daiyu said.
Lu Jing understood what Daiyu meant, so he said: "If Madame has any instructions, let someone tell Lu Zheng directly, and he will handle it properly." ”
Lin Daiyu nodded when she heard this, and then let Lu Jing go.
The two played for a while, sat hand in hand and read Huazhang, and were happy with their eyebrows.
After Lu Jing left the house the next day, Daiyu explained to Zijuan, and asked Zijuan to visit Qingwen at Jia's house.
Zijuan spent a lot of effort to find Qingwen's current residence, and saw Qingwen lying on the reed mat on the earthen kang, the mattress was dilapidated, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of her energy, and her expression was extremely depressed, and she hurriedly walked to her side and called her name lightly.
Qingwen opened her eyes and saw that it was Zijuan, and said in great surprise: "Why are you here?" ”
"Come and see you!" Zijuan said and helped Qingwen to sit up, "Our grandmother heard about you, thinking about Su Ri's affection, so let me come to see you!" ”
Qingwen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the grandmother in Zijuan's mouth was talking about Daiyu, and she was extremely moved, but she didn't expect Daiyu to still remember herself.
Then I thought of my current situation, and none of the sisters who knew each other in the past came to see me, and I couldn't help but cry.
Zijuan hurriedly picked up the handkerchief and wiped away Qingwen's tears while asking where her family had gone.
Qingwen wiped away her tears and said, "My brother went outside, and my sister-in-law went to visit the door after dinner!" ”
Zijuan saw that Qingwen's face was pale and she was weak when she spoke, so she hurriedly asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Qingwen just kept her mouth shut, and when Zijuan saw this, she hurriedly took out a cloth bag, took out a few pastries, and sent them to Qingwen.
Qingwen shook her head and said, "I can't eat it, and I don't want to eat it!" ”
Zijuan persuaded: "Even if there is a big thing, you can't skip eating, listen to me, you eat something first, as for your matter, there will always be a way to solve it." ”
When Qingwen heard this, she thought of Mrs. Wang's arrangement, and suddenly her heart was like ashes, and she hurriedly resisted the urge to cry, and said unwillingly: "I don't want to be at the mercy of them anymore, I plan to die a hundred, there is only one thing, and I don't accept it: although I was born slightly better than others, but I didn't have a secret intention to seduce Baoyu, how did she insist that I was a vixen, sister, you came just in time, I want to die to prove my innocence, you help me pass it out, and let people know that I am innocent." ”
Zijuan was extremely sad after hearing this, and was busy saying all kinds of words to relieve Qingwen, but seeing that Qingwen was very determined to die, she was helpless and couldn't help crying.
Qingwen hurriedly said: "Sister, don't be sad, don't pity me, this is my life, you and Miss Lin are good to me, I keep it in my heart, but I can't repay it in this life, I can only keep it in the next life..."
Zijuan didn't wait for Qingwen to finish speaking, then covered Qingwen's mouth and said, "Bah, bah, what to say in this life and the next life, our grandmother said, if you are willing to follow her, she will beg the old lady to leave you!" ”
When Qingwen heard this, a burst of hope suddenly rose in her heart, if she could live, who would want to die without knowing what to do.
While the two were talking, Jia Baoyu hurriedly lifted the grass curtain and came in, and when he saw Zijuan, he was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm coming to see Qingwen!" Zijuan replied wiping tears from her eyes.
When Jia Baoyu heard this, she looked at Qingwen and saw that she looked gloomy, her hair was fluffy, and she didn't look like a plain day, and her heart ached.
When Qingwen saw Jia Baoyu, she snorted coldly and immediately turned her head away from looking at him.
Jia Baoyu said with tears in her eyes: "I just heard that my wife is going to match you to a little girl, and I was in a hurry, so I came to see you!" ”
Qingwen hated Baoyu and raiders for doing unscrupulous things, but it affected herself, and even guessed that she fell into this fate, because the attackers secretly made ghosts.
Zijuan hurriedly told Jia Baoyu that Qingwen would rather die than marry Xiaowu.
Jia Baoyu burst into tears when she heard this, and kept saying that she was going to beg the old lady.
At this moment, many girls walked in with a dejected expression, saw that the room was full of people, stunned for a moment, and then saw Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "You are the master, what are you doing in the next person's room?" Did you see that I was young and handsome, and came to tease me? ”
After Jia Baoyu heard this, she was frightened and hurriedly wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Good sister, don't shout, she served me a lot, I came to see her privately." ”
The girl couldn't help but pull Jia Baoyu into the inner room, and said with a smile: "It's easy not to let me shout, but you have to rely on me for one thing." With that, he sat on the edge of the kang and hugged Jia Baoyu tightly into his arms.
Jia Baoyu was affected by the spices sent by Wang Xifeng, and her desire was burning day by day, and now she was being teased like this, her heart suddenly jumped up, and she couldn't help but want to respond, but Zijuan and Qingwen were outside, and her face was red for a while, she was ashamed and afraid, she was busy controlling her desires, and begged for mercy: "Good sister, don't make trouble, let's talk about it if you have something to say, there are still people outside!" ”
Many girls looked at Baoyu and smiled: "I heard that you are used to working on the maid, why are you shy today, I have been looking forward to it for so long, I waited for you, just famous, in the end it is better to meet, you have a good appearance, it is actually a myrrh cannonball, just a pretense, but more shy than me, but I know that people's mouths can't be heard." ”
"For example, our girl, I decided that you were also stealing chickens and dogs, but she was willing to die to prove her innocence, so I believed her, but I know that there are many grievances in the world." After speaking, he let go of Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu took off control, got up and tidied up his clothes, and hurriedly ran outside.
The girl also followed to the outer room and said to Qingwen: "I originally wanted to go and redeem you, but I just begged for a circle, and I didn't give anyone a message to the old lady, I asked someone for a long time before I found out, it was the second wife who ordered someone to stop and not let the old lady tell." ”
As he spoke, he took out a bag of silver, threw it on the bed, and said helplessly with a look of helplessness: "This was the silver I begged to redeem for you, but now I don't need it, the second wife has spoken, who dares to help me deliver the word." ”
Hearing this, Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "I'll go and beg the old lady to let the old lady let you out of the house." ”
Zijuan took the opportunity to say: "Our grandmother said that if Qingwen wants, she can go to the Lu Mansion to live." ”
Jia Baoyu was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Great, you have always been with Sister Lin, if you go to Sister Lin, you don't have to suffer these grievances anymore." ”
Zijuan asked Qingwen what she meant, and Qingwen nodded and was willing to follow Daiyu.
Then several people summed up, and Baoyu took Duo Girl to find the old lady, and truthfully reported Qingwen's matter to the old lady, and then Duo Girl begged the old lady to redeem Qingwen.
Zijuan took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to the girl, saying that if the old lady agreed, the money would be used as Qingwen's ransom money.
The girl insisted on refusing to accept it, and finally the purple juan was forced to give it to the girl.
Then Jia Baoyu rushed to Shi Taijun with many girls and told Shi Taijun in detail.
After Shi Taijun heard this, he was immediately angry, Qingwen is his own person, even if he makes a mistake, he should be dealt with by himself, if it weren't for Baoyu today, he would still be kept in the dark, and he wouldn't know that Qingwen was kicked out of Yihong Courtyard.
originally wanted to attract Mrs. Wang to scold her, but after thinking about it, if this matter broke out, it would only make outsiders see the joke, so she couldn't help it.
After thinking about it for a while, Shi Taijun decided to agree to Baoyu's request, but instead of agreeing to the girl's request to redeem Qingwen, he handed over Qingwen's deed of sale to Baoyu and asked him to transfer it to Daiyu, saying that he would reward Qingwen to Daiyu and fill in another help for Daiyu.
