Chapter 216 Confiscation of Jia's Mansion
Fourth Sister Wen didn't know what her happy event was after asking for a long time, so she asked again lazily. Only bad things need to be pursued and asked hard, and good things don't matter.Lie down on the beauties' couch, chatting with two beauties, and gossip about nothing nutritious.
A beautiful young man appeared in the sky, dressed in brocade robes and jade belts, and when he landed on the ground, he quietly played handsome, shaking his sleeves and walked over: "Wen Si, huh? Pregnant? Congratulations!"
Daiyu was speechless for a while, I like that you said the big brother Jianguo first a few days ago, but I don't like that you said something I didn't want to say today.
From the point of view of consciousness, this child is still very young, only about a month old, so it is not good to tell her now.
And the national filial piety has just been abolished. Having children during the filial piety period is not good for them.
Baochai was a little shocked, but she was not married yet and shouldn't say anything, she just said in a low voice, "Congratulations, master."
Fourth Sister Wen said calmly, "Yes." Daiyu admired her composure, and Yao Sanlang was even more surprised.It took a while for Fourth Sister Wen to realize: "Yao Sanlang, what the hell are you talking about?"
Yao Sanlang put his hips on his hips and laughed loudly: "Hahahahahahahaha, I thought you had a city mansion now, but it turned out that it was just a slow reaction!"
Baochai secretly looked at this young son, he must be the legendary Yao Sanlang, he looked free and unrestrained, and he was indeed a real fairy just like the legend.Laughing and cursing are the gestures of real celebrities, suave, handsome and charming.The princess is so lucky.
Fourth Sister Wen scratched her head: "What's wrong with the slow reaction? Really? What are you pregnant with?"
Daiyu sighed speechlessly. This 'what' sounds like asking about species, but she knew it was asking about gender.
Yao Sanlang asked back: "What do you want to have?"
Fourth Sister Wen: "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, you must be smart."
"Hey, then you can eat more food to replenish your brain, you are stupid, how smart will your child be?"
Daiyu gently tugged at his sleeve, don't talk nonsense.
Fourth Sister Wen looked around: "Where's my knife? Huh?"
Baochai hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Don't move around, it's important to protect your health, send someone to tell the master about it."
Fourth Sister Wen waved her hand casually: "Go and tell him, Xiaocui, bring my knife! Yao Sanlang, I'm not done with you today!"
Baochai left very fast, and the gods wanted to fight, so it was useless for her to stay here.
Get yourself out first, and then move the rescuers.
On the contrary, Yao Sanlang was taken aback, hid behind Daiyu, squatted down and pulled her sleeves and put his head out, maliciously showing cuteness: "Oh, it's so scary, what's wrong with Wensi? I said she was stupid , she admitted it frankly, why doesn't she admit it now?"
Fourth Sister Wen glanced at the troubled little maid: "Hmph, I was really stupid at first, but now, can't you see that my face is full of wisdom, and my eyes have the light of a wise man?"
Daiyu turned her head to look at the little boy who was squatting on the ground pretending to be a kitten, and pulled out her clothes with a smile: "You let go, if she wants to beat you, don't hurt me."
Xiaocui didn't take out the knife. Although she was honest and obedient, she wasn't crazy.
Fourth Sister Wen rushed over eagerly: "Squeeze hahaha, don't run away!"
Yao Sanlang let go, jumped up and ran: "Whoever doesn't run is a grandson!"
Daiyu saw the two laughing and starting to jump up and down, ran around her twice, and then began to 'chase and play' around the tables and chairs in the room.The little princess sat lazily on the beauty's couch, and told the little maids beside her, "Didn't Madam teach you how to serve tea with guests?"
Only then did the little maids wake up from their stupefaction, and hurriedly bowed down: "Young lady, forgive me." "Princess forgive me."
Yao Sanlang slipped into the yard with oil on his soles. There was no snow on the road, all the roads had been cleared, and the snow was piled up under the trees.He laughed and ran around, deliberately slowing down, and when Wen Si was about to catch up, he let her fingertips rub against the edge of his clothes and missed, another stupid hahahaha .
Holding a cup of tea, Daiyu watched the new snow on the leaf being shaken off by the duo of bang bang bang, and the courtyard was filled with heavenly fragrance, the atmosphere was very pleasant.
What's the fun in chasing them around?
Brother Sanlang and my godmother are so cute, like children.
Until a man in fox fur and purple robe quietly pushed open the courtyard door, walked in with a dark face, and quietly approached Yao Sanlang who had climbed the tree and Fourth Sister Wen who was about to climb the tree.Then he patted her shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Ze Lan, what are you playing?"
His tone has always been gloomy, which makes people feel as if he is icy cold when they hear it. It is okay when he speaks in a rough voice, but the gentler and more sinister, it gives people a feeling that he is about to use a dark knife.
Fourth Sister Wen didn't know he was approaching, so she was slapped unexpectedly, and when she heard the sound next to her ear, she suddenly felt chills down her spine, as if someone was walking alone in an alley at night, and suddenly someone blew into your ear , that feeling: "Oh!"
Zhuo Donglai looked up at the fairy squatting on the treetop, and at Ze Lan who was stepping on the tree trunk and was about to jump up with light work. Although he was very calm, he was actually full of doubts.Do you two have any fun playing around like this?Is it interesting that a fairy still climbs a tree?He firmly caught Wen Zelan who was startled and fell back: "What's wrong?"
Yao Sanlang jumped down from the treetop, and when he landed, he was as light as a feather. To Zhuo Dong, he said, "Look at her, she is still so unstable at such a big age. She is not safe when she is pregnant, you You must discipline her well."
Zhuo Donglai helped her to stand up, and said with a soft smile, "my wife has always been gentle and quiet, virtuous and decent, and has the heart of a bodhisattva. What's wrong? Immortal Yao's vision is too high, and she is too demanding of ordinary people."
I myself feel that I am telling the truth - this statement is false.
Daiyu was drinking hot tea leisurely in the house, watching the bustle outside the house with the crisp candy, egg yolk cake, and jujube with walnuts next to her.
Yao Sanlang was speechless, really had nothing to say, so he wanted to ask: Is there any point in your nonsense?I also want to ask Wen Si, how did this unattractive black fat man confuse such a treacherous and cunning person to such an extent.Zhuo, you open your eyes and talk nonsense like this, don't you suspect that you are blind?Thousands of words merged into one sentence: "When do you eat?"
"Just finished breakfast, didn't you eat in the palace?"
Yao Sanlang shook his clothes handsomely: "I don't eat much."
Zhuo Donglai watched the two of them quietly from the side, agreeing that he couldn't understand how these two monkeys could turn the world upside down one second, and then talk about eating in the next second, so they called for gold and retreated together, happily getting ready .You two are so promising!
Seeing that she was in deep embarrassment outside, Daiyu slowly put down the teacup warming her hands, walked out slowly, stood on the steps and looked at him. The feelings of the officials: "Mr. Zhuo, congratulations."
The toughness on his body seemed to be getting heavier. It seemed that the presence of his wife and daughter did not allow him to cultivate himself, but continued to kill.
Zhuo Donglai followed the sound and looked over, and was immediately startled.Shibie really admired her for three days. The last time I saw her, she was just a smart girl. Although she was well-versed in poetry and books and capable in literature and martial arts, she always had a weak and humble demeanor, but now it was different.
Now she not only has a bit of majesty, but also a bit of high authority. It must be very interesting to figure out how people's hearts grasp the overall situation. Although I don't know what she has experienced.He bowed his hands very respectfully: "Thank you, princess."
Daiyu was a little surprised: "Why is Mr. Zhuo so polite?"
Zhuo Donglai smiled slightly, and said softly: "The princess is so imposing that people dare not look up."
Fourth Sister Wen tilted her head and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't see it: "It's grown taller!" Great!Soon to be taller than me.
Zhuo Donglai had no choice but to glance at her—the best little expert in ruining the atmosphere in the audience.
"Princess, Yao Shenxian, how about going to the plum grove to make wine and enjoy the snow?"
Daiyu nodded approvingly: "Very good."
Yao Sanlang said: "By the way, let me roast a deer leg~hehehe"
Fourth Sister Wen almost applauded for him: "I'm thinking about roasting chicken wings, or roasting venison. Eat some venison to keep you warm in winter."
So a group of people went to eat and drink in the plum forest. New wine with ginger slices was boiled on the red clay stove, and they sat in the cold wind to admire the plum blossoms and drink.Appreciating plum blossoms needs to be cold, the colder it is, the more elegant it is, the colder it is, the more fragrant it is - in fact, it’s just pretending, now the city is full of heavenly fragrance, and there is no plum fragrance at all.
Daiyu was wearing a gown with scarlet red and gold patterns that was not too thin but not very warm, Yao Sanlang was wearing a jade-white brocade gown, Zhuo Donglai was wearing a fox fur coat, the three of them were gentle and behaved well, and beside them was a fat black man whose painting style was inconsistent.
Wearing a bear-skin Lei Feng hat (of course the time-traveling girl can do it), and a tiger-skin cloak, with sleeves and hands looking around, it seems to be very cold, like a bandit warming himself by a fire.
Daiyu touched her face and asked, "Godmother, are you cold? I still remember when I was young, you rarely wore so many clothes."
Fourth Sister Wen nodded: "I was injured too much in the early years. Some time ago, the old genius doctor said that I was a little short of energy and blood, and I really felt that winter was colder than before. Tsk, it's better to cover it." Being poor, doing all kinds of things to death, I regret it now.
Daiyu felt a little distressed, and reached out to hug her, the shoulders wrapped in the bearskin cloak became wider and wider, and she couldn't hug her. "Have you ever taken medicine to prepare it?"
Fourth Sister Wen burst into laughter: "I never like to take medicine, besides, what's the use of taking medicine, it's only useful if you practice hard."
Zhuo Donglai said quietly: "I ordered people to carefully prepare several jars of medicinal wine, and she has already drank a lot. According to Ze Lan's words, medicinal wine is not considered medicine."
All three laughed: "Not bad, not bad, medicinal wine doesn't count."
"tasty?"
After joking and joking, Fourth Sister Wen fell into the miserable situation of only eating meat and no wine, she looked at Yao Sanlang with great resentment: "Yao San, if you don't tell me, I can still drink A few drinks."
Yao Sanlang spoke earnestly: "I am doing this for your own good."
During the ensuing eating and drinking, Zhuo Dong came to test him a few times, but Dai Yu deftly blocked it or pretended not to hear, and the two of them exchanged verbal tricks. "The princess is clearly far away from the imperial city, but she walks like a dragon and a tiger." The majesty is getting stronger day by day.
Daiyu smiled faintly: "I know a dragon king who is often accompanied by colorful tigers when he walks, lives, sits and sleeps." She pretended to be illiterate.
The two silly white sweets next to me ran to the kitchen hand in hand, concentrated on mixing the dipping sauce, took a baking tray and put it on the tandoor, sliced the raw meat off the deer leg, grilled, ate, drank, Bicker, eat, and keep grilling meat for your partner.
"Zhuo has always thought that a Taoist in the mountains lives in a hut and devotes himself to cultivation. He first met the resourceful Yao Zhenren, who is both civil and military, and saw the changes of the princess after practicing Taoism. Only then did he realize that it was Zhuo's random guess and underestimated the hermit. .”
Daiyu smiled and did not answer, she ate the meat slices that Yao Sanlang baked and put on her dipping plate.
"In ancient times, hermits lived in seclusion in the deep mountains. They didn't care about world affairs and devoted themselves to reading. After they came out of the mountains, they were able to command thousands of troops. They never saw people, but they could face mountains of swords and fires. I don't know if the princess has the ability to be a general and a minister?"
Daiyu blinked innocently: "Maybe, but it's a pity that women are not allowed to be officials in this court."
Yao Sanlang nodded seriously: "It's really a pity."
Daiyu looked at Yao Yunqi and couldn't help but want to laugh. He is so innocent and cute. Didn't he hear Zhuo Donglai's experience of testing me several times?I thought my brother would tell him that they are so close, it seems that my brother doesn't want to tell him.
That's right, there are no two days, there are no two kings, if Mr. Zhuo doesn't know that everything is fine in Zhuang country, if he knows, maybe he wants to go to that country to make a fortune, my brother will be very embarrassed.He has only one good friend.
After eating the barbecue and chatting for a long time, Daiyu took out the jade bi and peaches for the master, and the two left hand in hand.
Zhuo Donglai felt lost: "It's not right."
Fourth Sister Wen felt sleepy after eating, and tilted her head: "What's the matter? I told you that the current contraceptive method doesn't work, and you still don't believe it."
"Let's let the fate of children take its course. Have you noticed that the temperament of the little princess is very different?"
And obviously, Erlang had a big thing in his heart that he kept from me, but that was before the princess came back.
Strange, so curious.Apart from the queen, the emperor only cares about the world, so what is he hiding from me?What happened to her again?
Fourth Sister Wen was a little upset: "I'm still surprised, you are usually so busy that you don't have time to sleep, why are you so busy today, and you came to accompany us for dinner. Brother, let me tell you what I said first, don't expect me to help you Ask for news."
I don't want to cheat my beloved little Daiyu baby, although she is now a beautiful girl and not a baby.
Zhuo Donglai smiled slightly: "Ze Lan, where are you thinking? When did I do something to embarrass you?"
She is not stupid, and she knows that you and I are of the same mind, so if she doesn't want to tell me, she won't tell you.
"I'm really leisurely today. The whole city is overwhelmed by this strange fragrance, and people are panicked. On the contrary, no one dares to make any changes. Let's not go anywhere today, just rest at home, okay?"
Fourth Sister Wen smiled lewdly: "Okay~" Fei Yaner~
A servant flew over: "Master, I have your secret letter."
Zhuo Donglai opened it and saw that the emperor's calligraphy was written in a flying and flying manner: Donglai, I am resting today, and I will take my wife to hunt together. You and your wife will come too~
He asked, "Zelan, are you going hunting?"
Wen Si rolled his eyes: "No, I have to coax the queen, I'm so tired."
Daiyu and Yao Sanlang who returned to the palace happily followed the emperor and empress to hunt in the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing.
There was nothing good about it. Small animals such as pheasants, rabbits, foxes, and roe deer were released from the cages, and several people hunted them around.
The queen just came to see 'hunting', although she can ride a horse, but she can't use a bow and arrow.
A month later, the New Year was lively and lively, with a grand banquet, and they praised each other happily.
After living in the Lin Mansion for half a month, people from the Rongguo Mansion came to see the princess many times. Whether it was soft or hard, Daiyu remembered her brother's advice and avoided seeing her many times.Jia Min couldn't force it, so he could only perfunctory and let it go.
The queen secretly complained to Daiyu: "Preparing a dowry for my mother-in-law, I can be regarded as No. 1 in all ages."
Daiyu smiled softly: "Brother feels bitter. Although it's raining and she can't stop her from getting married, I can tell that he really wants to go and see."
The queen prepared twenty boxes of dowry, but since there was a limit of five hundred catties, she didn't put much silk into it.Jade, because Daiyu brought it
The jade bi is big and good, it seems that there is no shortage of jade, so forget it.I just collected ten boxes of exquisite porcelain, gold ware inlaid with filigree, beautiful jewelry, and exquisitely carved emerald lotus leaves.
I sorted out the old things of Empress Mingde again. In the past, her favorite handles, favorite books, commonly used porcelain, and some other rare treasures were placed in a well-padded small box. High-grade gold plates and gold cups and other gold wares, as well as a box of finely crafted jade carvings, gold filigree accessories, and embroidered purses for gifts.
Yao Sanlang put away these boxes: "Hey, it's more than 490 catties, it's really accurate."
The queen was quite proud: "I calculated the weight of each box."
When preparing the dowry for Daiyu, I hope that the weight can be more lenient, or you can run back and forth a few more times, five hundred catties is not enough for what to do.
Sitting next to him, the emperor was still unhappy, with a bit of Xizi holding his heart: "Daiyu, when will you come back next time?"
Daiyu thought for a while: "Within half a year. Brother, if you want to open some, it's better than you don't know anything now." You don't like the former emperor, why are you so depressed about Empress Mingde's remarriage? like this?
The emperor patted her head sadly and said, "You don't understand." Your mother is still alive, so you can stand and talk without back pain.
First bid farewell to the emperor and queen, and then went back to bid farewell to their parents, and the two returned directly to Zhuangguo.
Yao Sanlang said enthusiastically, "Let's go, let's go to deliver the dowry~"
Daiyu hesitated: "I haven't been to the cabinet for a long time."
Yao Sanlang nodded: "Sister, if you don't want to go, I'll just go and deliver the dowry. Then I'll go directly back to the Golden Winged Roc, so as not to keep deducting my vacation from him."
Daiyu watched him walk away, a little puzzled, is he sharp or dull?
After looking in the mirror from head to foot, he was very satisfied, so he went straight to the palace hall.When they arrived at the gate, they saw that the palace gate was open, several people were blushing and refused to give in to each other, and the eldest brother sat behind the desk with a face of indifference.
The situation seemed to be very chaotic, she went in quietly: "Brother Zi Shu, what's the matter? Huh?"
Brother Zishu's clothes are the most gorgeous, always have been, with the most complicated embroidery, and even wear fresh flower strings on his body.When he turned around, that face was not Zi Shu's original face, but a more mature and graceful face, and he smiled: "That's right, it's me. The new face, the original face is tired. Daiyu, it's not the right time for you to come back. They have been discussing for more than ten days, but they haven't come up with a plan yet. Every religion says it's the best, and everyone else is heretic, haha."
It's fine to talk about it in other places, there are so many immortals here, and there are so many sects, who dares to say such things without being afraid of lightning strikes?
However, none of the sects I have contacted is willing to cancel this statement. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, Catholicism, or a certain religion, they all believe that others are heretics who should go to hell.Isn't this exciting?When the gods meet, they will fight for the war between mortals.
Daiyu sat down obediently, and quietly listened to their quarrel—it was all nonsense.The solution was not seriously discussed, but from different religious backgrounds, different positions, and even emotional conflicts.
A few people had been arguing, while others huddled together to exchange opinions in whispers.
Daiyu looked at the very patient elder brother who was sitting at the top, and thought that he didn't really need to sit there now, and it was fine for people to quarrel by themselves at such a time.
Looking carefully at the crowd, it seems that most of the senior brothers are not there, and the senior senior brother has been whispering to the second senior brother.
Zi Shu said quietly: "If I hadn't come to see Xie Anshi's demeanor, I would have left long ago."
While talking, he dyed his hair in front of the mirror.There are strands of white hair on Xie An's temples, I don't know whether it was brought along with him during his lifetime, or changed to pretend to be a trace of time, anyway, Zishu likes that look very much.
Daiyu wanted to learn how to pinch her face from him, but she was very satisfied with her appearance.
…………
After the end of the New Year, the emperor received Li Yushi's symposium and Jia Amnesty's collusion with foreign officials, bullying the weak, extorting antiques, and killing people; (1)
Lin Ruhai stood at the front of the queue, quite frightened and terrified, because there were too many things that were implicated by her in-laws.
The emperor was overjoyed, it was really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow!
Concubine Jia's funeral was hastily arranged before the Chinese New Year. Both the emperor and the empress were a little surprised by her death. They agreed that among the concubines who were unfavored, neglected, and struggling, Concubine He Guifei died after the empress dowager was imprisoned. Although she was worried, she lived a very healthy life. Why did Concubine Jia die?It seems that they have made a move, but in fact, there is no need for this, it is enough to throw it into the cold palace.
A lot of things were found in the search of Jia's mansion, and the one that annoyed the emperor the most was usury, which often killed people, and people would not be paid taxes after they died.Moreover, if Xungui did such a thing, it would have a very bad image of the court, and the people would be filled with resentment.
Some of the female family members were imprisoned, while those who had not been imprisoned were taken to the mansion by Jia Min and Baochai respectively. Although it was not as prosperous as the Grand View Garden, it was better than being like duckweed.Xue Pan and Xia Jingui are still fighting endlessly, because Xia Jingui is still uneducated, and he still doesn't know how to run a business, and Baochai still owns Xue's family.
There were many disputes in the court over how to convict the Jia family. The four kings and eight princes tried their best to protect the Jia family, and the chief minister of the cabinet also interceded for them. The emperor had to consider their attitudes and demands, and had to give in. He did not seek help from his friends. .
When the emperor can't do whatever he wants completely, and big things will happen that way, it's better to be a little bit suffocated, and you can add more discretion-it's another story when you are too suffocated.
That night, while the emperor was sleeping, he suddenly felt his body lighten up, and his soul left his body, drifting away into the distance.
The author has something to say: I saw a Weibo the other day: @范瑞
If "Dream of Red Mansions" appeared in "Zizhi Tongjian", there would be only one or two sentences: "Concubine Jia taboo Yuanchun, was selected into the Ye Court, the concubine is talented, fortunately, she is a noble concubine. Later, she disobeyed the order, died, and was in the palace. The matter is secret, and the reason is unknown. There are sons of Ningguogong and Rongguogong who committed all sorts of insidious things, and they were furious, seized the title, and lost their family property."
All human beings have discovered that Daiyu's aura is different from before, only she and the two idiots don't know it.
Guess where did the emperor go?
Note 1: The information is quoted from Cao Xueqin's work "Dream of Red Mansions"
