Chapter 159 It’s all the fault of the Thirteenth Master
After the Minister of Rites issued a report, the three departments’ joint review failed, and the result of the cabinet vote was left to the Ministry of Punishment to investigate.
This was directly approved by the Director of Ceremonies, passed directly after being sent to the Criminal Department, and then sent to the Criminal Department for execution.
As a result, a very formal investigation was launched into the Japanese envoy's arrest in Europe, and the results were reported to the envoys of various countries at any time.
However, the reality is that Zhu Jinghong, as the party involved, did not participate at all, and he should eat, drink and play.
Of course, these are important affairs of the court and have nothing to do with ordinary people. At most, they become the talk topics of noble officials at home.
For example, at this time in the Rongguo Mansion, almost no one cared, simply because there were more important things at home.
Of course it is about cleaning up the family tradition.
Although Jia She performed badly before, objectively speaking, he still has some ability, especially he is a bit more ruthless than Jia Zheng.
In order to change his family's image and restore his unfavorable position in the emperor's heart, Jia She's rectification was completely without selfish motives.
Only seven or eight days have passed since the beginning of the purge, and countless servants in the family have been fined and punished.
There are hundreds of people who have been betrayed due to serious mistakes.
Under this powerful blow, the atmosphere in Rongguo Mansion took on a new look, and everything became in order.
Jia She felt relieved, but naturally some people were unhappy, such as Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng who had been deprived of power.
Let’s not talk about Mrs. Wang for the moment. As her daughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng has not received much attention from her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing. She has been "free" at home these days.
With such a fiery personality, it was torture to suddenly be idle, so she watched Jia Lian even more closely.
"I want money again. Why should I use the money to go out and give it to my sweetheart?" Wang Xifeng said with a cold face.
"This time there is really something serious"
"What serious matter"
"I want to host a banquet"
Wang Xifeng stared He asked, "What kind of distinguished guest is asking for one hundred taels of silver?"
Objectively speaking, although one hundred taels is a huge sum of money, it is nothing to the Rongguo Mansion. Wang Xifeng can certainly afford it.
"Of course he is an honored guest."
Seeing that Wang Xifeng did not let go, Jia Lian had to explain, "He is a guard in the palace. He helped me out in Jinling before. I said that I wanted to "A generous reward"
"Now that people have come to the capital, how can I not express my gratitude?"
Wang Xifeng did not take it seriously. "Even so, there is no need to be so extravagant. He can help us." We can help him in the capital, right?"
"You really have long hair and short knowledge. You are a popular person next to the Thirteenth Master, why do you need our help?" Jia Lian was full of resentment. < /p>
"If youIf I don’t want to give money, I will ask my wife to go. She is the one who makes the final decision in this house.”
Seeing Jia Lian getting up to leave, Wang Xifeng immediately said, “Wait a minute.”
“No, that’s it. I’ll give it to you for one hundred silver.”
Wang Xifeng offended many people when she was housekeeper. Now that she has lost her power and is being treated coldly, many people in the house want to see her laugh.
If She went to beg Mrs. After taking the bag, he looked at Wang Xifeng.
Recalling what happened recently, Jia Lian sighed, "If there is no one to help, no matter how much money you save, it will be useless."
"Use it." It will be useful."
Jia Lian replied, "As long as you use it in the right place, it will be useful."
Wang Xifeng sneered, "It means you use the right place for those friends outside."
"You"
Jia Lian was furious for a moment and then walked away.
Seeing him leave, Ping'er handed Wang Xifeng some tea and said, "Grandma, why do you need to do this?" All the money has been given away, and I have offended someone for nothing."
"What's more, the second master has changed now and will never act like he used to do, so the second mistress can rest assured."
Hearing Ping'er say so much, Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "You are so considerate of him, why don't you come up with the hundred taels"
"If I had money, I would have honored my second grandma long ago"
"Don't be poor, go out immediately and send a message, ask a few people to follow the second master, and call back if there is any news."
Jia Lian went out but didn't know that someone was watching him secretly. < /p>
With one hundred taels of silver in his hands, he quickly left the house and rushed to Lu Yuxin's residence. He was sure to keep this friend.
Besides, he had taken care of him in the Rongguo Mansion. Baoyu, who had been ill for several days, was now able to go to the ground.
As Daiyu cared about him, he naturally cared about Daiyu.
He took it as a way to pay his respects to his ancestors. Therefore, he came to Jia Mu's courtyard, intending to meet Lin Daiyu.
Unfortunately, he came at the wrong time, and Daiyu was not in Jia Mu's courtyard.
It turned out that during this period, there was no one. Baoyu accompanied her, so Daiyu went to Baochai all the time. The two exchanged knowledge at any time, recited poems, composed poems and played the piano. Life was more interesting than before.
Now, Daiyu has Baochai as her confidant. , the importance of Baoyu in her heart is naturally reduced.
What’s more, Aunt Xue often teaches Daiyu and makes her understand many rules and principles.
So Daiyu also believes that. You should really hold back your thoughts, preserve your reputation and Baoyu's, and stop causing trouble to your uncle's family.
Daiyu is a smart person who will grow up when things happen, but Baoyu is not like that.
< p>After failing at Jia Mu's place, he rushed to Lixiangyuan again, but the attendant girls could not persuade him.Jia Baoyu came to Lixiangyuan in a hurry, and Chai and Dai were deliberation at the moment. knowledge, one smiled but said nothing and the other frowned and thought hard.
Daiyu has always been confident in her own knowledge, but she did not expect to be stumped now.
But when she thought that Baochai was three years older than herself, she would definitely read more books, Daiyu felt relieved.
After thinking for a long time, just as Daiyu's thoughts were gradually clearing up, she heard a noise coming from outside.
"Sister Lin, sister Lin"
"It's the second brother" Daiyu beamed with joy.
Baochai, who was sitting behind the desk, felt very uncomfortable at the moment because Baoyu was so ignorant.
Now that Rongguo Mansion is in such a situation, he is restless in reading and writing, and actually comes to the inner house to hang out. This is not for nothing.
To be honest, Baochai no longer wants to stay in a place like the Jia family, which she has mentioned to her mother several times.
But on the one hand, the Xue family's house has not yet been repaired, and on the other hand, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang have a deep love for each other. Their sister's suffering made her unable to bear to leave, so leaving the Jia family was put on hold.
Of course, Aunt Xue also promised her daughter that they would move out as soon as Xue Pan arrived in Beijing.
Sighing, Baochai was about to avoid it, but unexpectedly Baoyu had already entered.
"Okay, I looked everywhere for you, but you disappeared. It turns out that Sister Lin is hiding here with Sister Bao."
Baoyu smiled, and then sat on the chair next to Daiyu.
"Second Master Bao drinks tea"
Waving away the maid serving tea, Baoyu couldn't help but look at Baochai twice more, and then asked Daiyu, "Sister, what are these?" My God, my body and bones are feeling better."
With a smile on her face, Daiyu replied, "I'm sorry to bother you, second brother, but I'll take my medicine on time these days and it won't be a big deal."
"That's it. Well, I am detained outside these days, and I have no time to see you, but you are always in my heart."
"Now that my sister is safe, my heart is at peace."
Although she had heard these words many times, Daiyu still felt so moved that she knew Baoyu really cared about her.
Baochai, who was sitting next to him, was extremely disgusted when he heard these words. He could only read a book and pretend not to hear.
But then Baoyu said, "It's all the fault of the Thirteenth Master. If he hadn't caused these troubles, how could I have separated from Sister Lin?" Please remember to collect it, the latest website is the fastest and free to find books without anti-theft. To add books, you can add QQ group 952868558
