Jia Wei's house. Three into the Baoqin courtyard.

In the bedroom, the moonlight penetrated into the window lattice, Jia Wei and Baoqin were doing husband and wife things in the bed tent, for a long time, the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and the two snuggled up to each other and slept with their necks crossed.

Now, Jia Wei's family has moved from the Yihong Courtyard in the park to the newly renovated Wujin Mansion outside.

Among them, Baochai lives in the second entry, Baoqin lives in the third entrance, Daiyu lives in the fourth entrance, and the two small courtyards in the fifth entrance live in the raider and the musk moon.

Because Baochai and Daiyu are both pregnant now, it is not suitable for intercourse, and Baoqin's stomach has not moved, so Jia Wei has been resting in Sanjin every now and then, and working Baoqin.

"Uncle...... Uncle...... Wake up......"

I don't know how long I slept, in a daze, I heard the cries of the little snail and the little bird, and Jia Wei and Baoqin woke up at the same time.

On weekdays, the two of them were called to get up early by the little snail and the little bird who were on duty in the outer room, so they didn't care, who knew that at this time, it was not dawn, it was still the scene of the night, and before Jia Wei could speak, Baoqin said to the two personal maids in a slightly reproachful tone, "What's the matter, call the master in the middle of the night?" Ye Er has been tired in the Yamen for a day today, and Ming'er still has official business. ”

Xiaoluo and Xiaoli hurriedly replied, "Aunt Lin just now came over to spread the word, saying that Mingyan, who followed the second master, had an urgent matter to see, so be sure to wake up the second master...... There's no way to ...... the servant."

When Bao Qin heard this, she turned her face sideways and looked at Jia Wei.

Jia Wei had already put on his clothes and said, "It should be the newspaper's business, you go to sleep, and I'll come when I go." With that, he got off the kang bed and went out of the house.

Bao Qin called from behind, "Ye hairpin will go again." ”

Jia Wei smiled, "No. ”

Baoqin called again, "Then let's go after rinsing tea." ”

Jia Wei still smiled, "No. "I didn't stop and walked out of the house.

Listening to Jia Wei's footsteps gradually disappearing along the corridor, the three of Baoqin's master and servant looked at each other, and then Baoqin waved his hand to let Xiaoluo and Xiaoli retreat, and he also lay down again.

Hearing Jia Wei say that it was a matter of the newspaper, she had already put her mind at ease.

The business of the newspaper is nothing more than a business matter, no matter how big it is? If it's an official business, coming over late at night like this can't help but make people worry.

……

On the road leading to the second gate outside, Jia Wei hurried away.

When he walked to a corner, he bumped into a group of people, but it was Lin Zhixiao's family and the daughters-in-law of several of her stewards who were patrolling the night with lanterns, and Jia Wei had to stand and greet everyone with a smile.

Everyone returned the salute one after another, and Lin Zhixiao's family said with a smile, "Second master, is this going to see the smoke outside the second gate?" At this hour, a few of us were unwilling to pass it on for him, and we were afraid that we would really miss the second master's urgent matter, so we had to pass it in. The second master won't blame us, right? ”

Jia Wei smiled, "Auntie said she was joking, thank you!" ”

After just speaking, Jia Wei passed by Lin Zhixiao's family and others.

……

Front yard study.

The corridor was quiet and empty, and in the halo of the lamp in the study, Jia Wei and Ye Mingcheng sat facing each other.

"Second master, tonight Commander Chen's henchman butler suddenly visited, but he only sat down for a while and left, and he didn't say much, but one of the passages was inexplicable, he said something like this: 'My lord has always praised Jia Gongzi's poems, thinking that he has the charm of Tang poetry, but I don't know which Tang poetry collections Jia Gongzi has read, Xu Hun's "Ding Mao Collection" has he ever read? If you haven't, you might as well flip through it, there are a few masterpieces that are worth seeing. Ye Mingcheng said, speaking of this, he paused and said, "The villain felt that there was some fame here, so he didn't dare to delay, so he rushed over overnight to report to the second master." ”

"You're doing a great job."

Jia Wei nodded approvingly.

He once instructed Ye Mingcheng that if there were special circumstances, he could come to meet at any time regardless of time and place, but now Ye Mingcheng did it unequivocally.

Ye Mingcheng's intuition is reliable, and when Chen He's housekeeper visited late at night, it was definitely not unintentional to say such strange words.

Xu Hun?

"Ding Mao Collection"?

Of course, he knew that Xu Hun was a great poet of the late Tang Dynasty, and "Ding Mao Collection" was a collection of poems compiled by him.

But what's the point?

Knock on the table with your hand, groan indecisively, and time passes quietly, a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour...... Suddenly, a thought jumped out of his mind, and in an instant, Jia Wei was shocked like an electric shock, and his whole face suddenly became solemn.

Ye Mingcheng, who was sitting opposite, was startled and blurted out, "Second master......"

Jia Wei woke up, looked over, and then waved his hand, "It's nothing." You go first. ”

Ye Mingcheng didn't dare to ask more, so he answered and got up to leave.

After he left, Jia Wei leaned back heavily, leaned back on the back of the chair, and his expression gradually turned from solemn to bitter. The air inside the house is stuffy, and the insects are chirping outside, and this midsummer June night is indescribably annoying.

"After all, I can't escape this catastrophe......" Jia Wei muttered to himself.

Xu Hun, Ding Maoji...... Xu Hun's most well-known poem included in "Ding Mao Collection" is undoubtedly "Xianyang City East Building". This poem is also the most popular with its jaw couplet - "The river clouds are rising and the sun is sinking, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings." ”

Chen He should be referring to this poem. These two sentences are linked.

As a subtle hint, it is impossible for the other party to directly point out this poem, let alone directly point out these two couplets, and it is already the limit to be able to say that "there are a few masterpieces that are worth seeing".

At the beginning of the clouds, the sun is sinking, the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings - this is Chen He revealing to him - there will be changes in the Jia family!

Combined with the records of the Red Mansion and various clues in the fat batch, this change is needless to say that it is a raid.

Pushing open the door, he stood quietly on the porch, full of thoughts and heavy hearts.

He couldn't help but look back at the palace coup that happened in April, and at this moment, thinking about it, if there was no coup d'état, maybe the Jia family might not have been raided?

In March, late spring, Emperor Jianyuan was seriously ill again after last September, and there was no sign of improvement.

Worried that the crown prince Gao Yuanqian's accession to the throne would be unfavorable, in mid-April, King Gao Yuanji, with the assistance of Gao Jie, joined forces with Chen He, the commander of the Long Banwei, to stage a palace coup d'état and support the return of the emperor under house arrest to the throne.

After the Emperor Taishang was reinstated, the sixteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty was rebuilt as the first year of Jinglong, and at the same time the Yuan Emperor was abolished as the King of Ye, and at the end of May, the King of Ye who moved out of the Great Inner died of his death.

During this period, Emperor Jinglong rewarded the heroes who had the merit of supporting, Gao Jie was crowned as the eldest princess of Shengchang in Zhenguo, and gave Hebei fiefdom 3,000 li and 30,000 food estates. Gao Yuanji replaced Gao Yuanqian as the crown prince; Chen He was loyal and brave, and was promoted to the Privy Council, and still held the original position of commander of the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant.

Gao Yuanji and a series of figures in this coup, also have large and small contributions, among which in early March just from the southern Xinjiang triumphant return of the deputy envoy of the Jingying Jiedu Peng Yu is the most, when the Jianyuan Emperor in order to show his contribution to defending Xinjiang, has been named Dingyuan Bo, promoted to the general of Jin Wuwei, this time to add the title of Marquis of Wujing, transferred to the Jingying Jiedu envoy. The former Jingying Festival envoy Wang Ziteng was transferred to the military department.

……

Is there such a coup d'état in the second half of the lost Red Mansion?

Was it also after such a coup d'état that the Jia family suffered the fate of raiding the house?

Or is there something else going on?

The answer is unknown.

But no matter what, in the first year of Jinglong, when he was reborn, due to the restoration of the Emperor Taishang, the cultivation of cronies, and the liquidation of dissent, the magnificent families with unlimited scenery during the period of Emperor Jianyuan lost power one after another, including the four families of Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue.

The loss of power of the Jia family was marked by the loss of power in Yuanchun, Emperor Jianyuan was deposed, and she, the imperial concubine, was naturally abolished. After the death of Emperor Jianyuan, she was even more worried.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and without Yuan Chun in the palace, the situation of the Jia family is not as good as day by day. If it weren't for the fact that he was still favored by Gao Jie, the people in the mansion would have been panicked.

The loss of power of the Wang family was marked by the loss of power of Wang Ziteng, and the meaning of the transfer from the Jingying Jiedu envoy, who held heavy troops and guarded Gyeonggi, to the military department Shangshu, who did not have much real power, was self-evident.

As for the Shi and Xue families, they naturally suffered losses along with the Jia and Wang families, and they were snubbed by the imperial court.

Baoling Hou Shi Nai, Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding Town closed their doors in the day; The imperial positions of the two brothers, Xue Pan and Xue Zhen, were in jeopardy.

And now, the disaster of raiding the house has come!

Even if he was backed by Gao Jie, the eldest princess favored by Emperor Jinglong, the Cao family would not be able to get rid of such a fate, let alone the Wang, Shi, and Xue families.

Speaking of which, in his previous plans, he had no intention of asking Gao Jie for help at all, so that Emperor Jinglong could take back the will of the family, and it was precisely this that was taken into account.

It can be expected that in the matter of raiding the house, even if Gao Jie comes forward, Emperor Jinglong will not be able to waver.

In other words, copying is copying.

It's just that Gao Jie is in the middle, and the ending of copying the house should not be too bad.

Back to the present.

It is undoubtedly important to know this news in advance.

This is exactly why he tried his best to befriend Chen He in the first place.

Earlier, out of precautions, he consulted a large number of cases of raiding the family of the Great Xia Dynasty, and concluded that once a noble family like the Jia family was confiscated, among the officials who were confiscated, it might be difficult for other officials to be sure.

If you are among them, you will receive a will beforehand.

Tonight, Chen He secretly reported the news, and it was not in vain that he laid out this idle move nearly two years ago, and kept making money on the other party.

It's just another object he tried his best to befriend - Dai Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, who was imprisoned in a drastic change in April, and now he is alive or dead, it is still unknown, and he threw silver in vain.

……

If this is the case, what happens next?

Now it is not what it used to be, with Gao Jie standing behind her, the absconding planned at the beginning of the rebirth is no longer necessary.

But there are three things that you can't afford not to do.

First, the central government asked Gao Jie to try to send the four families of Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue back to their hometowns together after raiding their homes. Now that the capital is a place of right and wrong, even if it is copied, it is likely to be caught in the storm again, so it is better to stay away from this place.

Second, Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife, and his wife and concubines should be prepared, so as not to make the incident sudden and unbearable;

The third is to immediately transfer part of the property in case it is needed in the future.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jia Wei finally finalized these ideas.

returned to Sijin, but in the second half of the night, he couldn't sleep at all.

Lying on the kang bed, a lot of things come to mind.

Spring and spring exploration have not yet been decided...... Spring Festival is nineteen this year, which is a bit delayed; Tanchun is young, there is nothing to worry about, in February, the imperial court planned to list her as a candidate for harmony, and marry a small country in Nanyang, and finally he asked Gao Jie to stop the matter...... After this raid, the court is ruined, can they have a good marriage in the future?

Yuan Chun, the eldest sister he had never seen since his rebirth, was originally going to meet in the provincial relatives once every three years this year...... Speaking of which, since the second half of last year, he has been involved in the public financial planning in accordance with his earlier commitments, and this year he is ready to take out a large amount of money to subsidize the cost of this pick-up.

Who knew that first the old concubine was ill, and Yiyi couldn't save her relatives within a year, and then the next palace coup, Emperor Jianyuan was deposed, and she was also deposed, and the matter of saving relatives was never mentioned. In this way, maybe he may not be able to see this eldest sister in this life.

Xiangyun, nine times out of ten this year, he won't be able to return to the capital, with the situation in the capital since mid-April, how can the two uncles who are too busy to take care of themselves pay attention to her?

At the beginning of this month, he received another extremely resentful letter from her, and he couldn't help but laugh while sighing, and couldn't help but put pen to paper and joke: "Afang Palace, three hundred miles, can't live in a history of Jinling?" The original historian's proverb was changed to a question, and the meaning has completely changed, and the hidden meaning in it is: Jinling is so big, my sister can't live there? Do you have to think about going back to the capital to live? He could imagine Xiangyun gritting his teeth after seeing the reply.

Of course, banter is banter, and he always looks forward to her returning to Beijing as soon as possible.

But now it's different, after learning the news of the raid, he hopes that she can stay in Jinling and don't go back to the capital, which is a place of right and wrong. Having said that, he also asked Gao Jie to try to send the four of them back to their hometown of Jinling after raiding their homes.

The girls such as Fang Guan and Ling Guan of the troupe and several girls on Shiban, due to the illness of the old concubine, where there is a lord's house, they are not allowed to feast and music for a year, and Mrs. Wang and others originally wanted to dismiss them or stay as maids. He took this opportunity to invite these girls to sing and play in Xinghualou, replacing the artists he had originally invited.

These girls are all willing, among which Ling Guan is the most willing, she would rather leave Jia Qiang than go out of the house with him, in her words, "Singing, the drama is bigger than the sky, as long as you can continue to sing, you can go anywhere." ”

They thought that the days outside were hard, not as good as the house, just for singing and playing, and they didn't care, but when they really arrived at Xinghualou, they knew that they wanted to go wrong, they earned a lot of money, and people were free and free, and they were all overjoyed.

But their happy days have just begun, and they will soon be over. After the raid, his property was obviously not guaranteed, and they naturally had no place to live. Leaving his protection and performing in various restaurants in the capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live, and there will even be unforeseen events.

They are all from the Jiangnan clan, so if they are sent back to their hometowns, will they take them to Jinling with them?

Tang Xiaoqing, in this year's letter, she has clearly mentioned that she will be combed before the end of the year. At this moment, he regretted that he had not sent someone to redeem her before, and now he was facing a raid, and he could not do it in a short time, so he could only wait to return to his hometown and set foot in Jinling. But is there time to come?

……

The entanglement of all people, the fragments of memory, in this sleepless night, is exceptionally clear.

The next morning, Jia Wei did not go to the mansion of the eldest princess of Zhenguo Shengchang, but stayed at home and had a secret conversation with Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife, Sister Feng, Li Kun, and his wife and concubines.

He revealed the news of the raid to these close relatives, and everyone's reaction was shocked and sad, needless to say, in addition to Jia Zhengqiang's grief, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Daiyu, Baochai, Baoqin, Raider, Musk Yue, Sister Feng, and Li Kun all burst into tears.

This was all expected by him. Fortunately, no one was knocked down by this news, not even the elderly Jia Mu.

When you imagine the past, there are three reasons for this.

First, since the restoration of Emperor Jinglong, with the abolition of Yuanchun, the situation of the Jia family has deteriorated, and everyone has long been worried.

The second is that he is cautious enough when revealing the news.

The third is that he repeatedly mentioned that Gao Jie will be in the middle, and the ending will not be too bad.

Completely relieved, and then faced with the old lady, Mrs., and the Xue family sisters' proposal to ask Gao Jie to help their respective families in the matter of raiding their families, he nodded again and again, he had originally planned to do this.

At the same time, I can't help but sigh that the four families of Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue have too deep roots, and after he married the Xue sisters, the relationship is even deeper.

The grandmother is from the Shi family, the mother is from the Wang family, and the wife is from the Xue family.

It really broke the bones and connected the tendons.

In the afternoon, Jia Wei drove out of the house and met with Ziyu and Wei Ruolan respectively.

This meeting is actually a transfer of some property.

These belongings include his own 200,000 taels of silver tickets, Baochai, Baoqin, and Daiyu totaling more than 300,000 taels of silver tickets, Jia's mother's more than 300,000 taels of silver tickets, Jia Zheng and his wife's more than 200,000 taels of silver tickets, Sister Feng's more than 100,000 taels of silver tickets, Li Kun's more than 20,000 taels of silver tickets, Aunt Xue's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's more than 600,000 taels of silver tickets, and Xue Zhen and his wife's more than 400,000 taels of silver tickets, totaling more than 2.5 million taels of silver tickets.

In addition, it also includes the five necklaces he gave to his wives and concubines, Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng, Li Kun, Aunt Xue, Chen Xiaoqing's cherished jewelry, and various materials of his previous life that he has been recording.

Other property, whether it is gold or silver ingots, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, grange shops, or his own property, are all immovable.

In this way, in addition to the rush of time and the lack of time to transfer a large number of people, the most important thing is that once it is known to the imperial court, it will be strictly investigated to the end, and the crime will be increased by one degree, which will be self-defeating in the end.

Fearing this, he agreed with the old lady that the news would not be disseminated.

Even for Jia Yu's house and the East Mansion, not to mention the Shi family and the Wang family, the only exception is the Xue family.

Among them, Jia Amnesty's house and the East Mansion, there is no silver horizontally and vertically, and it is difficult to say that they can keep the news, so it is better not to tell it, all the property is copied and copied, and the big deal is that the old lady will come forward in the future and help them some. Of course, Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and cherishing spring, he will take special care of it.

The population of the historian and the Wang family is complex, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes if they are rashly told and handed around.

The Xue family can rest assured that there are only two rooms and five people in Beijing, Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and his wife, and Xue Zhen and his wife, and now they are hiding from Xue Pan, but the four of them know the news, and they are all reliable, so it doesn't hurt to tell them. In the end, the Xue sisters went to talk to Aunt Xue, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and Xue Zhen and his wife.

……

Jia Wei divided these belongings into two parts and asked Ziyu and Wei Ruolan to keep them for him temporarily.

Both of them were people he trusted and the most suitable to keep his belongings.

Ye Mingcheng, Li Gui, Li Yun, and Lin Yongfu are not good, they are all subordinates in the house, and they themselves are going to be raided;

Jia Yun and Kong Li are not good, one is the big cabinet of the Yujing Restaurant in the south of the city, and the other is the vice president of the Yanjing Morning News, which is his main assistant in business.

Some other trustworthy people, such as Feng Ziying, Zhang Cheng, etc., are also excluded for one reason or another.

……

Came back in the evening and didn't say anything all night.

The next day, I went to the mansion of the eldest princess of Zhenguo Shengchang as usual. The third day too.

The holy decree of copying the house came down on the morning of the third day, and one of Baochai's companions hurriedly came to report the news, and he asked this person to go back first, put down his official duties, and went to Gao Jie's courtyard after leaving the Changshi Division.

Gao Jie obviously didn't know about this, and seemed very shocked, and then immediately entered the palace to meet her father.

Jia Wei stayed in the flower hall and waited for her, Ziyu accompanied her, and only then did she understand why Jia Wei handed over those belongings to her for safekeeping.

More than an hour later, Gao Jie returned.

Under her mediation, Emperor Jinglong was gracious, and the Jia family, as well as the Wang, Shi, and Xue families, only had no property, and the population did not have to be in the official, let alone be sentenced, confiscated, sold, etc.

In addition, at Jia Wei's request, she also asked Emperor Jinglong to issue an edict to send the four families of Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue back to their hometown of Jinling, and keep the old house in Jinling for living. Emperor Jinglong also agreed.

These fully met Jia Wei's expectations.

After thanking Gao Jie four times, he bowed and left.

……

Five days later, Li Kun's mother and son, together with a few subordinates, boarded a boat on the outskirts of Beijing and headed for Jinling.

Jia Lan is still studying for the exam, so he left the capital as soon as possible so that he could study quietly.

Nearly a month later, Jia Wei, who had dealt with all the matters related to the raid, also embarked on the trip to Jiangnan first.

Now, as the real pillar of the family, he took the first step, in order to repair the old mansion and prepare all kinds of things in advance, so that the people of Hefu who came later could live in smoothly.

Accompanying him were Qingwen, Qiuwen, Bichen, Jin Chuan, Yu Chuan, Si'er, Chunyan, Cui'er, and Yun'er, the big girls in the house.

There are Ye Mingcheng's family, Li Gui's family, Li Yun's family, Lin Yongfu's family, Siqi's family, Jia Yun's family, Qianxue's family, and Hua Zifang's family.

There were former relatives and later relatives, none of whom had yet to start a family.

There are thirty nurses trained by Li Yun, and none of these people have yet to get married.

There are girls on juban and girls in theater classes.

There are Miaoyu, Zhizhi'er, Xichun, and some sisters-in-law around them. After raiding the house, under the epiphany of Xichun, he was determined to become a monk, and no one could stop him.

There is the dark room of Xiangling, Chen Lu and Zhen'er couple. Chen Lu was originally transferred from Rongfu to the newspaper, in his early twenties, loyal, Jia Wei pointed out the marriage for the two after considering Zhen'er's relatives.

There is Ziyu, the princess's maid, and now she is Jia Wei's third concubine, which Gao Jie pointed down. Gao Jie has a great favor to him, and the situation between them is extremely delicate, she pointed to Ziyu, he is not easy to refuse no matter what, not to mention that he also has a good impression of Ziyu, so he did not hesitate to accept it.

There are also some subordinates, including healthy servants, servants, mothers-in-law, little maids, little girls, rough maids, etc., although they are not the most powerful people around them, but they also voluntarily followed, Jia Wei also brought them, and the rest who did not want to go were all sold as slaves and put back home.

Two more months passed, and in early October, the people of Ningrong and the two prefectures went south together.

Originally, there was no need to wait until this time, but Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang fell ill at the end of August, and it took nearly a month to get better, so it was delayed for some time.

Among the people who went south together with the two prefectures, Jia Wei's wives and their subordinates all stayed in the mansion of the eldest princess of Zhenguo Shengchang.

This is what Jia Wei said to Gao Jie in advance.

Baochai and Daiyu are pregnant, and it is not too late to leave after staying in the princess's mansion to give birth to a child for a year and a half. At that time, Gao Jie will send someone to escort the south.

Although Baoqin is not pregnant, she has to stay to take care of Baochai and Daiyu.

Not to mention the two concubines of Raider and Musk Yue, how can there be a reason to leave the mastermother and go south with Jia Wei? Therefore, it is all the more necessary to stay.

Only Ziyu is an exception, although it has become Jia Wei's third concubine and needs to stay by the master's mother to take care of it, but Gao Jie ordered her to go south with Jia Wei, who can go against the will of the princess?

……

In late September, Jia Wei and his entourage arrived in Jinling.

In mid-November, people from Ningrong and Rongfu arrived in Jinling.

In the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and the land of smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the old mansions of Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong became noisy again after many years apart.
