Volume III - Chapter 18 Farce
said that Jia Zheng returned home and saw Jia's mother, but said some things about his appointment, although he lost his official position, Jia's mother only comforted him lightly.
Jia Zheng was depressed, and he couldn't bear to make his mother sad, so he smiled and said: "Mother is at ease, although my son has lost his official position now, but my son is also old and wants to farm at home, so it's okay."
Jia Mu nodded and said, "You are right, you have worked hard all the way, go and rest"
Jia Zheng said a few more gossips, said goodbye to Jia's mother, retreated, and went back to his room to see Mrs. Wang, seeing that Mrs. Wang's expression was not as good as before, she couldn't help but be shocked, and was busy asking the reason, so Mrs. Wang told him about the Xue family.
It turned out that Jia Zheng received the holy decree and was busy on the way, but he didn't even have time to read the official report, and he didn't know about the Xue family. β
"Bao Yatou is also bitter," Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said, "Marrying into our family, you don't know his temperament, and you haven't seen him treat other girls well." β
Jia Zheng was surprised: "Baoyu has always liked to mix in the group of sisters, if it is something else, it is fine, if you say this, it is unusual, how could he marry a daughter-in-law, but changed sex?" β
"How do you know?" Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "Now our family is in chaos." Originally, it was the daughter-in-law who was in our housekeeper, but now the eldest lady in the house asked for it that day, and she was also very unwelcome, so that's it. I originally thought that Baochai is also a member of our family now, and he is smart and virtuous. is very dignified, and there is a calculation in his heart, so he told the old lady that it is better to let her take care of the housework, but the old lady said that she is the new daughter-in-law, just let the daughter-in-law of Zhu take care of it. β
Jia Zheng was originally a person who was not familiar with general affairs, and when he heard this, he shook his head and said, "That's it, aren't they all your daughters-in-law?" β
"Zhu's daughter-in-law is honest. Where can I get those housekeepers and grandmothers? Mrs. Wang said, "Now Baoyu is helping outside, this child is very nonsense, and he has changed a lot of things, but I can't say anything, the old lady is protecting her head." β
When it comes to Baoyu, Jia Zheng only sighs, that day Baoyu was teasing others outside, and teasing his mother's maidservant at home. even made a fuss, he couldn't get angry, and beat him, but he suffered from the boss. was stunned and scolded by Jia's mother.
From then on, it was inconvenient for Baoyu to take care of him.
"Baoyu can take care of some things, but that's fine," Jia Zheng sighed.
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "You are not right, it's just that Baoyu and Bao Yatou always refuse to have a round house." ^^^^ I don't care about it. β
Jia Zheng frowned and asked, "Is there something to wait for?" β
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Am I still lying to you, now that it is the end of the year, I am about to discuss with the old lady, pick up a good day, forget the round house, I still want to hug my grandson." In addition, the Xue family's lawsuit is also a matter of one or two, so I'm just such a sister. Can't watch her spend her days in prison? β
"What you said is not reasonable," Jia Zheng shook his head and said, "Think about it, I have returned from dismissal now, and I have just been reprimanded by the Lord, how can I just wait for things?" That's right. You said that Baoyu doesn't want to see Bao girl. What the hell is going on, isn't Bao Yatou a beauty yet? Is he still not satisfied? β
"He was thinking of Miss Lin," Madame Wang sighed.
"Miss Lin?" Jia Zheng was stunned for a while, and then said: "Just a daughter like a sea? β
"Yes, Miss Lin went to Jiangnan and came back soon, but she didn't live in our house, but stayed temporarily in some Qingyao Courtyard outside the house." Madame Wang explained in a low voice.
Jia Zheng couldn't help but lose his temper again, and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you live in our house?" Wouldn't it be inconvenient for her to be alone as a girl and live outside? If you don't keep it, won't the old lady take her over? β
Mrs. Wang sneered: "I would like to, but people may not appreciate it." β
Here Jia Zheng and his wife were talking, but the little maid on the door replied: "Aunt Sun and the second girl of our family are here, asking to see the old lady and the second master." β
"Aunt Sun?" Jia Zheng had never had much contact with the Sun family, and frowned, "What is he doing here?" β
The little servant replied: "Aunt Sun said that the master is back, so he came to visit." β
"Please sit in the outer room, I'll come right away" Jia Zheng said busily, while changing his clothes and walking out.
When I arrived at the outer room, I saw Baoyu sitting with Sun Shaozu, and Sun Shaozu saw Jia Zheng and was busy saying hello. Jia Zheng was also busy saying hello, so he was commensurate with his nephew.
The two saw each other, Jia Zheng sat down, and Sun Shaozu saw Baoyu standing, so he could only stand aside.
"The nephew just sits, the child is still young, let him listen while he listens." Jia Zheng said with a smile.
Sun Shaozu was embarrassed, looked at Baoyu, and saw Baoyu winking at him, so he sat down and said with a smile: "I heard that the old man came back, and I was making a fuss saying that I was thinking about my sisters, and I wanted to come over to have a look, and the little nephew could only send her over." ****β
"Our daughter is too willful, but it makes my nephew laugh." Jia Zheng smiled busily.
Sun Shaozu hurriedly replied: "The girl's family is already a little pampered, as long as there is a rough idea of the overall situation, and the little things are up to her." β
Jia Zheng once heard that this Sun Shaozu is really not a thing, and it is not good for Yingchun, but now listening to his conversation, he is a model with Baoyu, and he laughed secretly in his heart, Sun Shaozu originally came to find Baoyu to have something, but he heard that Jia Zheng was at home, and he had to see it, and Jia Zheng really had nothing to say, but he said a few common words, and then said goodbye.
Baoyu was busy sending it out, Sun Shaozu arrived at the door, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he said in a low voice: "If the news is true, Your Majesty really sealed that person, then at least we have a year or two to prepare, and there is ---- Liu Xianglian is back, and I will ask you to meet you in Yuhua River in the evening." β
Baoyu nodded, sent Sun Shaozu out, and was about to return to the room. Unexpectedly, the little guy who followed Jia Zheng came over and said, "Second master, the master called you in the room." β
Baoyu had no choice but to go to the room with the little guy. Jia Zhengduan sat on the Taishi chair, looked at Baoyu, frowned and asked, "I heard your mother say that you have been at home lately, and you have been making a lot of noise?" β
Baoyu frowned, just bowed and stood, not knowing what to do.
"Do you have to read it these days?" Jia Zheng asked.
"Read?" Baoyu not only smiled bitterly in her heart. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat and sleep, where could he have the leisure to read?
"Recently, I have been busy with my aunt's house, and Baoyu has been running around every day and has not gone to study." Baoyu could only reply.
Jia Zheng was about to speak, but saw a small guy outside stretching out his head and retracting again.
"Who's out there, why don't you come in and talk back?" Jia Zheng asked in a deep voice.
Mingyan hurriedly came in, lay on the ground and kowtowed: "Back to the master, it's the slave who is looking for the second master." β
"What's the matter, you're busy until this time?" Jia Zhengyu asked.
Mingyan looked at Baoyu secretly. Baoyu hurriedly said: "The master asked you, didn't you hear?" β
Mingyan was frightened, and hurriedly replied: "Miss Lin called someone to come over and spread the word, let the second master hurry over." I'm afraid that the Xue family's case will change again. β
"What?" Baoyu asked in surprise.
"Baoyu, what's the matter?" When Jia Zheng heard the Xue family, he not only asked in surprise.
"The slave didn't know, as if he heard that Uncle Xue died in the prison. The above is now going to investigate the cause of death, and the autopsy is going to be done, Miss Lin spent silver to get Uncle Xue's body out, and it sparked directly, and the Criminal Department is looking for Miss Lin to ask for someone, and Lord Feng of Dali Temple is also ......" Mingyan was so frightened that she was trembling, and she was busy replying in a low voice, "I don't know how this matter has been involved with the second master." said that the second master went to the prison of the criminal department that night, and the criminal department did not dare to go to Qingyao Courtyard, saying that he wanted to take the second master......"
Baoyu couldn't care about Jia Zheng sitting anymore, grabbed the cigarette from the ground, and asked, "How is Miss Lin?" β
Mingyan shook her head and said, "It's not clear inside, people from the Criminal Department are here." Hands-on with Miss Lin's guards. Afterward...... It seems that Lord Leng is also here, and I heard the sister next to Miss Lin say. Miss Lin said that she was going to ask Lord Leng the landlord to go, what was going on, and now the matter is getting bigger. β
Baoyu pushed away the cigarette, turned around and ran outside, Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "What are you going to do?" β
Although Baoyu heard it, she didn't even look back. But he said that Baoyu couldn't wait for the car, so he rode a horse and went straight to the Qingyao Courtyard, but when he arrived at the Qingyao Courtyard, he saw that there was a forbidden army guarding him, and he couldn't get in at all, and he couldn't inquire about the news, so he could only turn around on his horse and go straight to the Beijing Palace.
Here Baoyu went, Jia Zheng was not clear, he was busy asking people about the news, and he couldn't find out the inside story, so he could only go back to the room, and when he saw Mrs. Wang, he was angry for no reason, and patted the table and said angrily: "Look at it, what is going on?" β
"Master, what's the matter," Mrs. Wang asked puzzled.
"Baoyu went out in a hurry today, and I heard that the Xue family's affairs have not yet been understood, and Miss Lin has been involved." Jia Zheng gasped and said, "You don't want to think about it, Ruhai is such a daughter, if there is something in the capital, I will die in the future, and I will not have the face to see this brother-in-law." β
This matter is actually funny, originally the main trial of this case was Lord Feng of Dali Temple, and Lord Feng is Lin Ruhai's protΓ©gΓ©, the Yangzhou salt tax case back then, including the current Xue family case, he knew it well, and knew that it could not be tried again, so he saw Lin Daiyu and directly put a bottle of poison in Xue Pan.
Lin Daiyu can be regarded as having an extra heart, lest something change, and wait for the next day, she used silver, and asked people to get Xue Pan's body out and send it to the transformation factory to be burned directly, and even the ashes were not left.
This matter is already a matter of fact, just wait for Zhao Yu to seal the Miaoyu land, give amnesty to the world, and then make some silver, and fish out the Xue family's everything, and the future will be talked about later.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Wen, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, is the most disdainful person, the Criminal Department has reported that Xue Pan died of a violent illness, he wants to say that Xue Pan's death is bizarre, and asks for an autopsy, but the body has been burned by Lin Daiyu.
So, he went to the criminal department to inquire, and learned that the night before, this girl surnamed Lin had taken a few people to the criminal department, and this person immediately became energetic, thinking that he had grabbed the handle, and did not ask for the consent of his boss, so he took someone to the Daiyu in Qingyao Courtyard.
However, the guards in Qingyao's other courtyard are all from Jinyiwei, and their eyes are on the top of their heads in the capital on weekdays, and they really don't pay attention to going to a Shaoqing of Dali Temple
What's more, this lord of Qingyao Courtyard is a nobleman, how can ordinary people see it casually?
As a result, the two sides did not agree with each other, and immediately started to move. But there were few Jinyi guards, and Eunuch Xia saw that it was not a thing, so he rode to the palace to report the news, and Zhao Yu himself was naturally inconvenient to come forward with such a thing, so he could only let Leng Yanbing bring someone over.
Jiang Wen was surprised when he saw Leng Yanbing, he didn't know what kind of hornet's nest he had provoked, and he actually provoked this adult to come forward? But Leng Yanbing didn't say much, only said: "Take it"
Jiang Wen was taken away, Leng Yanbing was afraid that something would happen to Daiyu, so he was busy ordering the forbidden army to surround Qingyao's courtyard, but he comforted Daiyu with kind words.
But Daiyu was so angry that she even smashed the teacup, and Eunuch Xia swore that Daiyu didn't go out at all that night, and rested early in the morning, but she remembered that the Xue family and the Lin family had an old relationship, and they were both old Jinling clans, so she was instructed by Miss Xue to make the silver make Xue Pan's body spark, and prepare to bury the ashes in Jinling in the future.
Leng Yanbing couldn't say anything for a while, now Daiyu is hot, Zhao Yu returned to the capital, and it was inconvenient to come to see him because of his identity, but he really thought of her in his heart, others didn't know, but he knew it, that Dali Temple Shaoqing was really not long-sighted.
What made him even more depressed was that Feng Zhengyun, the secretary of Dali Temple, also said that Xue Pan died of a violent illness, and he came to be a big man, who was tortured many times in prison, and he couldn't stand dying in prison, which is also a common thing, and there is nothing suspicious at all.
After Leng Yan Bing left, Daiyu not only sighed, what is the matter, that marble Shaoqing Jiang Wen is only afraid that it is difficult to protect his official position, and it is a real farce, but he is very afraid when he thinks about it, but he doesn't understand, why did Eunuch Xia help her lie?
