Chapter 20: The Mystery of the Four Alliances (2)
Baoyu nodded, indeed, he hadn't thought it would be so far-reaching.
Mother Jia took a sip of tea and continued: "As soon as Xue Pan had an accident, Aunt Xue was such a son, naturally she was out of proportion, she discussed everything with Bao Yatou, naturally, she must know about the matter of our four alliances." ”
"Could it be that she is blackmailing her?" Baoyu frowned.
"If she were to be blackmailed like this, I would definitely not agree, but- that girl is ruthless enough!" Jia Mu said this, and sneered, "She is very tactful Aunt Xue and your mother about her relationship with you, your mother you know, she didn't like your sister Lin in the first place, do you remember that summer when your children were arguing?" Your mother said that her temper was too eccentric, and she was careful......"
"Even if my mother agrees, as long as you don't nod your head, who can do anything?" Baoyu laughed.
"Your big sister!" Jia Mu dropped a zha pill.
"What?" Baoyu almost didn't jump.
"Do you think your big sister really died of illness?" When Jia's mother mentioned her granddaughter, she couldn't help but hang up in two lines of old tears.
Baoyu didn't persuade either, tore off the handkerchief to wipe her tears, and heard Jia Mu say again: "Half of your big sister died at the hands of Bao Yatou...... At that time, I still thought it was strange, okay, why did your eldest sister actually let people bring out the secret decree and let you marry Bao Ya, only to find out later that your mother was confused, and someone else actually sent a message to your eldest sister, and the reason why she did this was naturally afraid that I would stop ......"
"But why don't I know at all?" When Baoyu heard this, she understood a little bit in her heart, but she didn't know what Baochai used to coerce Yuan Chun and let her pass on her will?
"This matter is up and down the house, only me and your mother know, but your mother is pretending to be stupid, and I won't break it - this girl, how can I allow her to be the master of the house in Jiafu?" When Jia Mu said this, she suddenly remembered Mrs. Wang's proposal just now, and she couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in her heart.
"My mother is confused." Baoyu sighed, could it be that Baochai is better than her own daughter?
Jia Mu knew his intentions, shook her head and said, "You are also confused!" Your mother hates Yuan Chun, and it's not a matter of a day or two, huh...... I can't blame you about this, you were still young at that time, so naturally you didn't know. You know that your big sister and you are not the same mother. ”
Baoyu nodded, and Mrs. Wang gave birth to him, and his brother Jia Zhu and sister Yuan Chun were not born to Mrs. Wang, but to a girl next to his father Jia Zheng.
Soon after Jia Zheng married Mrs. Wang, he took Aunt Zhao as a concubine, and the girl died soon after, leaving only a son and a daughter.
Jia Zhu is very angry, and he is the eldest son, so he is naturally deeply used, Yuan Chun has been good since he was a child, he is knowledgeable and courteous, and after Mrs. Wang entered the door, she was even more careful to wait, but Mrs. Wang could not tolerate the children of this little concubine.
Yuan Chun was sent to the palace at the age of fifteen to become the prince at that time, and since then there has been no news, only Jia's mother still reads her, and often asks Jia Zheng to inquire about a letter.
But Jia Zheng is pedantic by nature, and his face with his children is even more normal, and he didn't even care about Jia Zhu's death, but after Jia Zhu's death, with Baoyu, he began to pay a little attention to his children as he got older.
Yuan Chun was able to be valued by Jiafu, it was because she suddenly rose to prominence and was named a concubine, and Jiafu recognized her identity as the eldest lady.
How Yuan Chun died, Jia's mother didn't know, so she could only speculate privately, but first, there was no evidence, and it was impossible to do it accurately, and secondly, it was not easy to say about the royal affairs; Sanlai is also afraid of falling a little bit of rumor, but it will cause the family to be frightened, but bad things, think about her age, Baoyu is small, Baochai is too scheming, everything is mercenary, just afraid of this good Jiafu...... It's hard to be undefeated.
"Old lady, what should I do now?" Baoyu finally couldn't help but say.
"You've done a great job!" Mother Jia sighed, "Your Majesty has already done it, we don't have much time to wait, let's let your father come back, I don't want to watch my son die outside anymore." Saying this, the old lady couldn't help but burst into tears.
He ...... I will come back in the spring of next year at the latest, and I moved the Jiangxi grain road! Baoyu said lightly.
"Who goes, and people can live reliably?" Jia Mu couldn't help frowning, he didn't know about this? Thinking about it, Baoyu has always been afraid of his father, how could he start the Jiangxi Grain Road so quickly?
Baoyu said in a low voice: "And my father is the front and back feet, the Jiangnan piece, I have long had no hope, even that person can't intervene these years, a Sun Shaozu wants to easily break through the Jiangnan private salt protection, it is almost impossible, therefore, the best is to do it in Jiangxi, if I let people do it next to the master, it is very convenient." ”
"If your master knew that it was you who did it, he would be afraid that he wouldn't beat you to death when he came back!" Mother Jia smiled and looked at Baoyu, this grandson had finally grown up.
"I'll let him know, what he's been worried about, I'm already doing!" Baoyu just laughed, Jia Zheng was worried since he was a child, he was bold and reckless, and one day in the future he would make trouble out of control and kill the king and his father......
"It's good to lose your official career." Jia Mu nodded and said, "You haven't said yet, who is Jiangxi going?" ”
"Liu Xianglian!" Baoyu Road.
"He ......" Jia Mu was stunned for a long time before she said, "Isn't he a monk?" ”
Baoyu smiled, monk? He is such a Fengliu person, and he is also a Fengliu love species when he is a monk, where can he give up this prosperous six desires Hongchen? At the beginning, Third Sister You was extremely guilty because of his self-inflicted murder, and he didn't have the face to see Xue Pan and Jia Lian, so he hid and settled in a small Taoist temple outside the city, but he was concentrating on seclusion and didn't want to meet everyone in Jiafu.
But he has a good personal relationship with Baoyu, Baoyu still knows where he is staying, originally he was sick and confused, and he couldn't take care of other people's affairs, but then he got better, he naturally had to plan everything, thinking of Liu Xianglian, this person is not only very beautiful in appearance, but also has extraordinary martial arts, so it would be better for him to go to Jiangxi.
Sure enough, he found Liu Xianglian and almost told him about it.
Originally, Liu Xianglian lived in the Taoist temple for a while, and she was already stuffy and about to get moldy, and she wanted to find something to do, but she didn't have any fun when she thought about it, but now she was naturally happy when she heard about this errand.
"It's good if people can be trusted, you must know that what we are playing now is a matter of robbing homes and killing heads!" Mother Jia sighed, she is old, and death is just this thing, but she has to keep Jiafu and her children and grandchildren, she has to bet the last chips in her hand out, and the winner will be defeated, and the victory or defeat will be a game!
