Volume III - Chapter 19 Crisis Awareness
Waiting for the forbidden army to retreat, there was no one else in the room, Daiyu called Eunuch Xia over, and even Zijuan went out, and then asked: "Grandpa Xia, thanks to you today"
"What did the girl say?" Eunuch Xia was busy bowing down and said with a smile, "Waiting for the girl is the duty of a slave." ”
"I'm not talking about that." Daiyu smiled faintly, "Why are you helping me lie?" You know I've been to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. ”
Eunuch Xia looked up at her for a moment, bowed his head again, bowed down and smiled: "The girl said that she was joking, if the girl really had something, those of us who were slaves would not end well, and if the girl was saved, that is, we were saved---- not only me, even if the little eunuchs, guards, grandmothers and girls waiting below all knew that the girl was now the person in the heart of the Lord, but the sacred heart was unpredictable, and it was always better to be careful in everything."
The girl went to the prison of the criminal department, and now the lord's favor for the girl is not a big deal, at most a few words from the minions, it shouldn't be caused by the girl's sexual disorder, but how can it be good in the future? If one day ......"
When he said this, he suddenly felt that he was talking too straight, lest Daiyu be annoyed, so he was busy holding his mouth, just looking at Daiyu.
Daiyu didn't know what he was thinking, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't scruple, just keep talking." ”
"If there is a point, the Lord is not pampering the girl, and when the time comes, if you want to find the girl's fault, you will naturally turn this matter out...... It's always a good idea to be careful these days. Eunuch Xia said as he looked at Daiyu secretly.
Daiyu smiled lightly and nodded, "Your scruples are very reasonable, I don't understand anything." In the future, I will have more guidance from my father-in-law. ”
Eunuch Xia was busy beating Qian'er, and said in a low voice: "Girl, don't worry, from the time the slave stepped into this Qingyao Courtyard, the slave was the girl's person, and from now on, he will naturally serve with all his heart." As he spoke, he approached Daiyu and said in a low voice, "The rest is in everyone, and the girl can rest assured." ”
Daiyu nodded. Eunuch Xia then retreated.
Looking at his slightly rickety figure, Daiyu just frowned---- would he really serve her wholeheartedly?
But said that Baoyu didn't return to Jiafu until the evening and went to his room, Baochai greeted him, stretched out his hand to take the big clothes, Chunyan took the hot tea, Baochai asked: "I heard something wrong with Sister Lin in a trance today?" Is it my brother's business? ”
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Baoyu sighed and said, "Sister Lin was killed by us."
Baochai asked in surprise, "What do you say?" ”
"Last night, we went to visit the prison of the Criminal Department, but your brother died in prison today, Sister Lin heard about it early this morning. Thinking of your sisters, I helped people spend silver, sent Brother Xue's body to the chemical factory, and sent the ashes over. ^^^^ prepared to send your brother out in the future and send him to Jinling for burial---- but today Shaoqing of Dali Temple insisted that Brother Xue's death was bizarre and that he wanted to conduct an autopsy, but the corpses were all sparked. How else to check? So, I don't know how to get involved with Sister Lin, Shaoqing of Dali Temple took someone to Qingyao Courtyard to ask Sister Lin for questioning, but as a result, she was blocked out by Sister Lin's guards. Baoyu briefly recounted the farce of the afternoon.
That Shaoqing of Dali Temple is too blind, how can Qingyao Courtyard be easy to break into? But because of Lin Daiyu, Baoyu was very uneasy.
Xiaowen came over with her clothes, and before Baoyu could change them, she saw the pearl from the old lady's side. asked: "The second master is back, the old lady and the old man are anxiously waiting for the second master to speak." ”
Baoyu was stunned, not knowing what the old lady was telling him about him at this time, so he was busy arranging his clothes and going with Pearl.
Baochai went back to his room to rest. Ying'er poured tea. Seeing that no one was in front of him, he walked up to Baochai. Next to Baochai, he whispered: "Girl, Miss Lin is helping us so much, why does the girl still ......?"
"Do you want to say that I am ungrateful, and I will take revenge?" Baochai sneered.
Ying'er didn't dare to make a sound, just looked at Baochai.
Baochai took a green hairpin from the dresser and slammed it on the edge of the table, and the fragile green hairpin was suddenly broken in two.
"Girl, Ying'er knows that the girl must be justified in doing this." Ying'er was busy and whispered.
"I was a chess game after all, and I still lost." Baochai said coldly, "Wait for the second master to come out, besides, our Xue family can't stop there, and my brother must not die in vain." Thinking of Xue Pan's words in her ear, Baochai desperately held the hosta that was broken in two in her hand, her nails pierced her palm, and she felt as if liquid was flowing out.
"Girl......" Ying'er looked at her weakly, and whispered, "I heard the girl in the wife's room say today......"
"Say what?" Baochai asked.
"It seems to mean that Miss Lin is waiting for her now, all of them are from the palace, but I am afraid that she will be a concubine, and my wife also said that she has climbed a high branch, and she will be extremely honored from now on."
"Hmph" Baochai not only sneered, entered the palace? That relationship is good, as long as she enters the palace, don't think about coming out alive.
"Girl, it's all the uncle's trouble, otherwise, with the girl's appearance and intelligence, if you enter the palace, you will inevitably be a concubine." Ying'er not only felt sorry for Baochai, but Xue Pan's matter came out, and Baochai's status as a beautiful woman was also canceled, and she married Baoyu, but she was not treated well everywhere.
Baochai didn't speak, just stared at the wick on the candlestick. ^^^^
But said that Baoyu went to Jia's mother's main room, but Chunyan and Xiaowen followed her, and Pearl led the way and entered Jia's mother's house, but there was no one quietly, and the mandarin duck opened the curtain and invited him to go inside.
Baoyu was busy entering, but saw that only Jia's mother was crooked on the kang, and Jia Zheng was standing next to her.
Baoyu saw that Jia Zheng was there, and he didn't dare to be casual, so he asked Jia's mother to say goodbye, and greeted Jia Zheng again, Jia's mother got up, Baoyu was busy supporting, and Jia's mother motioned for him to sit down beside him. Baoyu looked at Jia Zheng helplessly, and Jia Mu smiled: "You also sit down and talk casually." ”
Jia Zheng hurriedly agreed, and sat down on a chair next to him. Baoyu then sat down under Jia's mother and asked, "The old lady hasn't rested at this time?" ”
"Today, I heard in a trance that there was something going on with your sister Lin, but why?" Jia Mu asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that Brother Xue's matter has made trouble." Baoyu sighed and said Xue Pan's matter briefly.
Jia Zheng was shocked when he heard this, shook his head and said: "You guys are also messing around, Miss Lin is a girl's family, how can you affect others well?" There should be something, and you have to bear it. Moreover, the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Is it a good place to go? She's an innocent girl, how can she go to that kind of place? ”
Mother Jia also nodded and said: "Baoyu, what your father said is reasonable, you must not act so recklessly in the future, what if it affects your sister Lin?" ”
Baoyu hurriedly stood up and agreed, and Jia Zhengyou asked, "Miss Lin is good, have you been to see her?" ”
"Today, Qingyao's courtyard is guarded by forbidden troops, and I will go again tomorrow." Baoyu said busily.
"Hmm," Jia Zheng nodded, "That's right, I heard the old lady say it today." Your mother borrowed one million taels of silver from the Lin family, but is there such a thing? ”
Baoyu lowered her head and replied: "Sister Lin now has the IOU of the second brother in her hand, and there is also the middle guard of Lord Feng of Dali Temple, so it is true." ”
"Ridiculous, ridiculous" Jia Zheng listened. Slapping the table and scolding, "Bad things for women"
"You don't have to be annoyed," Jia Mu said coldly, "I can't ask why, she doesn't say, and I can't force me to ask anything." Baoyu is even more inconvenient, you came back just in time, ask about the whereabouts of this silver, you can't raise so much silver to return to other people's land. ”
Jia Zheng is extremely pedantic in his daily life, but because of this pedantry he doesn't know how to say it, so he can only nod and agree.
Originally, when he returned from dismissal, he was already ashamed and ashamed in his heart, but now he just waited for something. It's even more uncomfortable.
"If that's the case, the government will go bankrupt, and she will be paid back," Jia Zheng stood up and said.
"You're bankrupt, and you don't have so much silver." Jia Mu said coldly.
In such a cold day, the cold sweat on Jia Zheng's head came out, and he was busy picking up his clothes and kneeling down in front of Jia's mother. Kowtowed: "Mother taught me"
Jia Mu only sighed. After a while, he said, "You get up first, Baoyu." Lift your father up"
"Yes" Baoyu was busy passing over, helping Jia Zheng up, but now his hands were trembling slightly, he had always been afraid of Jia Zheng, usually if he could not see, he would hide and not see, but now at a closer look, he suddenly appeared, it turned out to be ...... He was also an ordinary man.
Thinking about Jiangxi Grain Road, after all, he mistook him, all the basins were buckled on his head, not only did he feel guilty in his heart, but after thinking about it, Jia Zheng's temperament is really not easy to be an official, if he can really succeed, he will be prosperous and rich in the future, and he will be able to support him for a lifetime, and the rest will be ...... He didn't dare to think about it.
"I called you two here today, but there is one more thing that is difficult to deal with." Jia Mu said again.
"Please mother," Jia Zheng said busily bowing.
"Concubine Yuan went...... Next year in the palace will be the triennial show girl selection, have you ever thought that the three girls and the fourth girls in our family have not been out of the cabinet. Jia Mu said.
Jia Zheng was stunned and looked up at Jia Mu in confusion.
Jia Mu said again: "I look at the third girl's appearance really well, and she has become more beautiful in the past few years, so if you want to send her to the palace draft, I don't know what you think?" ”
Jia Zheng didn't speak, although he was pedantic, but Yuan Chun was his biological daughter after all, he died in the palace inexplicably, and now he was going to send a daughter in, but for a while, he couldn't give up, and he not only wiped his tears for a while: "The old lady just looks good." ”
"Don't you have an opinion?" Jia Mu asked again.
"Old lady......" Baoyu was originally Jia Zheng by his side, not daring to speak, but now he had to say, "There are no outsiders here, Baoyu said bluntly---- now His Majesty's mind is on Sister Lin, it seems inappropriate for the old lady to do this." ”
Jia Zheng didn't know about Lin Daiyu and Zhao Yu, and asked in surprise, "What are you talking about?" ”
"My sister went to Jiangnan this time, and I met His Majesty who was on patrol by chance halfway, and the two got acquainted and returned to Beijing together. Baoyu said in his mouth, but his heart was sour, if Sister Lin didn't know Jiangnan, if that night, he married Sister Lin, how good would it be?
Wood and stone have to rely on each other in the end, and now, although they are guarding the old alliance, how long can they keep it?
After all, Jia Zheng was angry, and frowned when he heard this: "In that case, why didn't our family send Miss Lin into the palace?" ”
Mother Jia beat the kang and said angrily: "You are confused" The third girl entered the palace, it was originally a last resort, and she would definitely be abandoned in the future, so she asked Jia Zheng about his intention to be a father, and now when she heard him ask, she knew that Jia Zheng had not thought about the current situation at all, and he was still in the dark.
Baoyu is reluctant to explore spring, reluctant to cherish spring, and naturally even more reluctant to Daiyu......
"Mother is angry" Jia Zheng said urgently, "The government is confused, and I ask my mother to teach me"
"That's it, Baoyu," Jia Mu sighed.
Baoyu could only tell the cause and effect of Jia Zheng's dismissal, naturally he wouldn't say anything about the grain road in Jiangxi, and he was afraid that he would have to go from house to house again.
"Waiting for something?" Jia Zheng was shocked and colorless, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Baoyu nodded and said: "When you dismissed the official, he was still in Jiangnan and did not come back, and the holy decree was definitely prepared earlier---- that is to say, you released the Jiangxi grain road, which was originally an excuse to lead...... No matter what your political performance is, you will inevitably be dismissed and returned to Beijing to report on your work. ”
Jia Zheng listened, his body was weak, and he fell on the chair, but the tears couldn't help but slide down, he had dedicated his life to his duties, and he didn't dare to slack off a little, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this.
"So, the old lady means to send the third sister into the palace, but it is a temporary expedient measure, if the situation is defeated in the future, the third sister needless to say, it is our family, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape." Baoyu said lightly.
"So what to do?" Jia Zheng thought for a moment and asked.
Baoyu walked to Jia Zheng and knelt down, Jia Zheng sighed, and was busy pulling him up, he had never liked Baoyu, but now I heard him analyze the overall situation of the government and government, but it was clearly organized, just thinking about the affairs of the Xue family, he was running outside, and even affected his brother-in-law's daughter, thinking of the past, he couldn't help but cry, and said: "What's wrong with you, get up and talk quickly." ”
"If my father can trust Baoyu, I will stay in the house for the time being, and leave the outside affairs to Baoyu," Baoyu said resolutely, "and ask my father to understand the whereabouts of the silver to my mother." ”
Originally, Jia's mother asked Baoyu to check that the Wang family had a large amount of money in recent years. But Baoyu is so busy that he can't even take care of eating, and there are still people at home who are causing chaos, where is the time difference between him?
"You are my son, if I can't trust you, who will I believe?" Jia Zheng was already disheartened in an instant, looking at Baoyu's originally round face, but now he had lost a full circle, with an indescribable tired look, "It's just that now that our family has something, don't Lian'er and Brother Zhen care?" ”
Wanqing shyly pulled a ticket: recommended tickets, pink monthly tickets, flower boards and bricks, smashed over......
