[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

Chapter 153

After sending Jia Yun away, Jia Lian squatted in the corner, looking at the things in the package, thinking of the days of love with Wang Xifeng and his wife, full of thoughts, and even more decadent on his gloomy face.

Jia Zheng got up and walked over, sighing across the cell.

"If I had known that today we would have retreated bravely, we ended up like this because we were too comfortable."

The Ningrong and Rongfu were so beautiful in the past, but now there is only a mess left. They are greedy for power and are eventually killed by power.

Jia Amnesty remembered the stupid things he had done, and it was too late to regret, so he could only hold his forehead in frustration.

Three brothers, father and son, plus Jia Zhen and Jia Rong next door, the life lawsuits and transactions they once made, after all, came back to themselves.

Jia Yun was also full of emotions after sending the things back. She pushed open the courtyard door, and Xiaohong was waiting inside.

"You see the second master? I heard that the second grandma is not well. I want to go back and serve her."

After being released, Lin Zhixiao's family bought a house not far from Jia Yun's house. After all, everyone knew that they were going to be in-laws, and they didn't have anything to say except teasing. Now it's convenient to communicate.

"Uncle and aunt are kind to us, you should go back if you want to. But, you have to take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, I know. Dad will go back with me to take care of him."

The two looked at each other, Xiaohong lowered her head shyly, and Jia Yun grabbed her wrist.

"Most of my filial piety has passed, and when things are settled, we are going to get married. I told your father the other day, and he agreed."

"In that case, you should discuss with him and tell me what?"

Withdrawing her hand, Xiaohong looked at him, turned her head and ran out.After returning home, I packed up some clothes and changed clothes, and went back to Jia's mansion with Lin Zhixiao to help.

It's not good to say it outside, but it's only after entering the inner courtyard that the situation is so serious.

"Second Mistress is sick, why didn't you tell me? I should have come in earlier, so I can help at least."

Xiaohong circled the room anxiously, but was held back by the mandarin duck.

"Look at the appearance of those women outside who want to eat people. How dare you say it? Not only can't say it, but we have to be careful not to let them see the slightest suspicion. Fortunately, the doctor was sent by the Lin family. How much did Second Mistress eat?" I can still hold on after taking medicine, but the old lady is the one who is not good right now."

It was rumored that Wang Xifeng lived in the bisha cabinet to take care of the old lady, but they didn't know that both of them were recovering from illness, and the old lady didn't even wake up.

Mandarin ducks dare not rest day and night, good people lose weight in a few days, and only when they see Xiaohong can they breathe a sigh of relief.

"Nowadays, I can't believe half of the people who come in and out. I have to entrust the old doctor to send letters to the Lin Mansion. It's just right for you to come. Stay here and watch while I go to decoct the medicine."

In order not to arouse suspicion, the medicines Wang Xifeng used were all brought from the Lin family by the old doctor.The life of the Duke's Mansion is like this, and their family is the only one.

Xiaohong looked at the unconscious old lady, and went around to look at Wang Xifeng.That domineering Feng Lazi was lying on the bed with blue and white lips, and his complexion was even uglier than that of the old lady outside.

"Second grandma."

He couldn't help but whispered, covering his mouth to cover his crying.

But this movement still awakened Wang Xifeng, seeing that Xiaohong's eyes were bright and her face was a little more bloody.

"How did you come in, Yun'er can see the second master?"

Xiaohong hurriedly helped her sit up, and put two pillows on her hands.

"I see, there are friends he knows inside. Both the master and the second master are in good spirits. They haven't suffered much, and they have put down everything. The second master also specifically asked grandma to take care of herself and stop thinking about him. Please take good care of your brother and sister."

"If it wasn't for these two children, I really wouldn't be able to hold on."

Leaning on the pillow, Wang Xifeng felt weak, took a sip of the tea and put it down.

"Did Yuanyang tell you? The situation at home is really bad, so go out as soon as you see it, this is not the place you should come, and save yourself trouble."

"I didn't go out. I just wanted to serve Second Grandma. I brought a change of clothes. I've been with Grandma for so many years, and now I see this, how can I go out? I'm just..."

Before she finished speaking, Hu Po hurried in, angry and helpless.

"Second Grandma, Aunt Zhao is here."

"Tell her to get out! Black-hearted and obscene, see that I have no energy to control, come here again and again, beat me out!"

Wang Xifeng didn't ask the reason, but stood up and scolded, making Xiaohong almost unable to hold back.

"Don't be angry, grandma. What's the point of being angry with her? I'll go and see."

Wang Xifeng pulled Amber out after pressing the button, and then asked.

"What's going on here?"

"Miss Xiaohong, you don't know. Aunt Zhao has been here several times, clamoring to share the ancestral property with Brother Huan, or clamoring that the Second Mistress wants to monopolize the family property. Whoever persuades me a little, says that we are a gang of black hearts. , to kill the old lady and occupy the family property."

"Is that good enough?"

They are all from Rongguo Mansion, who doesn't know who Aunt Zhao is?Without the slightest doubt, Xiao Hong brought the girl out.

"My aunt is yelling here, the old lady and the second grandma are inside, what's the point of being stubborn with these girls, why don't I take you to the garden to meet the eldest grandma, the elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and the second grandma will be the witness, brother Jiang Huan How about we separate out completely?"

I'm still a brother at home, so I don't have anything but those two boxes.

Aunt Zhao's cannon-like mouth fell silent for a moment, staring at Xiao Hong with a strange look of yin and yang.

"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be the girl next to the second grandma. She had only been released for a few days and didn't know who she was. She came to me to pretend to be the master?"

"Don't dare to be the master. People jokingly call me Grandma Xiaoyun, who is not as beautiful as my aunt, and stirs up the wind and rain at home. If my aunt has something to say, why don't you call Brother Huan here. I am a junior, and I should give it to my third uncle." Please be safe."

Xiaohong's eyes are full of contempt, she used to look down on Aunt Zhao, and now she looks down even more.

Yuanyang came back from behind and sneered.

"Exactly, Brother Yun was engaged to be married to us. We all drank alcohol. This is a real grandma, a serious relative of the Jia family. Auntie should tell us if she has something to say. Don't show your face in front of relatives. There is no such rule."

The concubine's room is naturally inferior to the main room. Although Jia Yun's seniority is small and the relationship is far away, he can't bear his surname Jia, not to mention five clothes, as far as the sky is the Jia family.Standing here, Xiaohong was overwhelmed by the name of a relative and grandma.

Aunt Zhao trembled angrily, pointing her fingers randomly.

"Okay, the little sparrow climbed up the high branch and looked down on me instead, so they all rode on my head, watch me call Brother Huan over here, and drive you all out!"

"Don't be too busy, auntie. You can think about it when I go back to talk to the third girl."

Xiao Hong refused to budge, and poked her lung tube.

Tanchun married her husband's family Anwen, and Jia Huan walked around the house again, which gave Aunt Zhao the confidence to mess around.But the girl in front of her has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. If she is really asked to say something in front of the third girl, how about it?

"You, how dare you! Let's see how long you are proud. If you have the ability, stay here!"

Aunt Zhao turned around angrily, wanting to occupy Jia's family forever.

Xiaohong is even more determined to stay here.The emaciated camel was bigger than a horse, and I don't know how many people opened their mouths openly and secretly, just waiting for the old lady and Wang Xifeng to fail, so that they could eat meat and drink blood from Jia's family.

While the Jia family was struggling, they also had to guard against internal thieves and foreign enemies.But I don't know that the court is also short of money.

The first emperor liked extravagance, and the nobles in Beijing followed suit, as can be seen from the daily life of the Jia family.Over the years, there has been insufficient money in the DPRK and China, not to mention the huge cost of the Fujian war before, and there is not much left.

The biggest problem in the court today is how to get a lot of money in a short period of time.

Prince Zhongshun hosted a banquet in the mansion and invited Cheng Qian.

"You are also a talkative person in the household department. What orders does the emperor have?"

Although the two families were not married, they were already engaged, and Prince Zhongshun naturally put on the airs of his father-in-law.

Cheng Qian was also casual and calm.

"I can give you any instructions, but I just ordered us to prepare the military supplies for the Southwest as soon as possible. But there are wars and plagues, how can it be so easy? Now I am thinking of collecting money."

The expected answer, Prince Zhongshun stroked his beard.

"The emperor is ambitious to rule the world, but the emptiness of the national treasury is a major issue. At this time, the war in the southwest should be the most important thing, and other things can be put aside for the time being."

"Your Highness means..."

Cheng Qian frowned slightly, showing surprise.

Prince Zhongshun chuckled, his eyes bright but he didn't speak directly.

"It's young people after all, it's too immature. What the emperor needs is silver. As long as there is silver, why should we care too much about where the money comes from? We should share the worries for the emperor."

What he said was not clear, but thinking of the recent events, Cheng Qian suddenly understood after a little thought.

"You are talking about Mr. Chen's thorough investigation into the matter of buying officials. From the southwest to the capital, the officials along the way did nothing. The emperor was furious and ordered Mr. Chen to conduct a thorough investigation. It is not good for us to reach out."

"That's what you don't understand. The emperor is furious. Naturally, he will arrest some of the dereliction of duty officials, but if they are all arrested, who will buy the officials in the future? Mr. Chen's methods are ruthless. At such a critical juncture, it should not be true."

A sternness flashed across Prince Zhongshun's face.

From the beginning of the investigation against Mr. Chen, no matter whether they are related to the refugees or not, all the corrupt officials who have been under his hands will be found out, without any sympathy.Of all the kings and ministers in Beijing, who doesn't have a few confidantes and disciples?Ask him to continue the investigation like this, and he really won't leave anything behind.

Among other things, the Zhongshun Palace has received several distress letters in the past half a month, and no one dares to give gifts in advance for the princess's birthday next month, for fear of being caught.Really hateful!

Cheng Qian looked at his expression and understood the meaning of the words.

"What the lord said is that the most important thing now is the war in the southwest, and other things can be put aside. It's just that the Ministry of Finance can't intervene in the matter of monitoring the officials. What does the lord need me to do?"

"Don't worry, just do it as you please."

Prince Zhongshun was very satisfied to see him so upbeat, and left him for dinner and sent his confidant to send him out.

When the son came back in the evening, he was slightly suspicious after hearing about it.

"This Cheng Qian is really credible, won't you tell that old fox Lin Ruhai?"

"It's just a quack boy who has never seen the world. Who can refuse? What Lin Ruhai gave him, I can give more. What does the Hubu Shangshu say?"

The father and son had planned for a long time, and Cheng Qian was just a small part of the icing on the cake.

"Naturally, he agreed. The treasury is empty, and he is embarrassed. The old man surnamed Chen cut off his money, and he has long been thinking of settling accounts."

The two looked at each other and went back to the study to discuss slowly.

Not long after, the Imperial Physician accompanying the Southwest from the Imperial Hospital sent back news that the plague was rampant in the Southwest, and thousands of people died.Doctors, medicinal materials, food and grass all need money.

War waits for no one, let alone plague, the emperor turned his attention to the surviving Jiuxun family.

Previously, the Jiangnan Zhen's family was raided, which added a lot of money to the treasury, allowing the emperor to taste the sweetness.Later, although the historians and others were not as good as the Zhen family, they were also very rich. The fastest way at this time was of course to search the house.

The convicted Xi'an County King and the Jia family were the first to bear the brunt.

Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were charged with the most serious crimes and had already been confirmed, so there was no need for another trial. On the day the news came back, the emperor ordered the Ningguo Mansion to be confiscated, and the Xi'an County Prince's Mansion was taken back, and all the finances were charged to the treasury.

Ning Rong's two mansions were separated by a wall, the sound of beating and smashing was chaotic, Wang Xifeng was alarmed immediately.

"What's going on in the East Mansion? It's a mess, but someone refuses to obey the discipline? Xiaohong, go and have a look."

"Second Mistress, don't worry, you take the medicine first, and I'll go right away."

Xiaohong hurried forward, but was stopped at the door, so she could only grab the onlookers in front of the door and ask.

"Listen to the excitement here, what's the matter?"

The old lady with the vegetable basket gloated and pointed.

"A lot of officers and soldiers went in, and the Ningguo Mansion was confiscated after all their crimes. I heard that they came with an imperial decree. The Rongguo Mansion is not far away. Let's see how arrogant they are in the future!"

As soon as the aunt's words fell, Xiao Hong watched helplessly as a group of officers and soldiers pushed Youshi and others out and put them in the prison van.There are also maids, mothers-in-law, and servants who tied their wrists with ropes and were escorted away in long strings.

Xiaohong covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, and hurried back while no one was paying attention.
