The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions - Chapter 989

[I wrote something yesterday, and found that my grandmother was too long to end, and it didn’t come out in the end. I rewrite it 4000 today]

On the sixth day of the first lunar month of the 16th year of Guangde, the emperor went to the throne and Taisun succeeded to change Yuan Longan.

Because the emperor was overwhelmed with grief and couldn’t afford to be sick, the court was supervised by the queen and princess concubines, and the curtain was closed to listen to politics.

On March 24th of the first year of Long’an, the first emperor was buried and the whole country was mourned.

On the first day of April, the new emperor ascended the throne to amnesty the world, including the former three-rank Weilie general Jia Zhen and his eldest son Jia Rong.

At this point, the father and son have been in custody for nearly half a year. When they walked out of the prison side by side and saw the long-lost morning sun and the market, they couldn’t help but hug each other in the streets and cry.

After crying for a long time, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong got into the carriage under Zhou Rui’s persuasion.

Waiting to see Jia Zheng, the uncle of the clan at the Rongguo Mansion, I sighed again.

After that, Jia Zheng held a dust-washing banquet in Rongxi Hall. During the dinner, he asked Jia Shelai, only to realize that he was not included in the amnesty—in fact, Wang Xifeng was annoyed by his shamelessness and deliberately told Sun Shaozong not to rescue him.

The wine was drunk from [10 am] to no [2 pm]. The father and son were both drunk. When Jia Zhen woke up, it was already a month old.

He got up from the bed with a splitting headache. He was still in jail in a daze, and he was ready to beg a bowl of water from the jailer.

It wasn’t until a few steps down to the ground that Jia Zhen suddenly remembered that she was at home, so her humble face turned into an angry shout: “What about people? Where did Dute mother die?!”

As he said, he turned his head and staggered a few steps, threw his head back on the bed, and kicked off his boots indiscriminately.

At this time, I heard a rustling movement outside, and then someone held a candle to the bed and whispered: “Master, is he awake?”

“Ok.”

Jia Zhen lay on the bed without moving, and responded vaguely, and then shouted: “You can’t break your leg? Why did you come here for a long time! Go, go and bring a bowl of sober soup for the master!”

The visitor agreed, turned around to light the candle on the lamp holder, and hurried outside, but it took a long time to bring a bowl of semi-hot warm soup.

Jia Zhen was impatient to wait, and turned over in a curse. When she saw the person’s appearance, she couldn’t help but froze and asked, “Who are you?!”

Hearing this, the visitor stiffened, holding Wentangner and said: “Master, I…I am Fang’er.”

As he said, tears of grievances fell steadily.

When Jia Zhen heard this name, she remembered that she was an old concubine in the family. She hadn’t seen it for several years because she was annoying because of her old age, so she didn’t recognize it for a while.

He frowned and asked, “Why are you serving here? Where are the Moxiang and Yingti who are on duty in the hall? Where is Youshi?”

“This……”

The old concubine who claimed to be Fang’er pressed her mouth tightly, skipping the first question, and said: “The second grandmother of Xifu has also been released, and she invited her to drink washing dust wine, but it must be time to come back at this hour of the sky.”

It was said that Cao Cao would be here, and listen to the footsteps as soon as he heard the voice. Immediately after the curtain was raised, You Shi walked in from outside.

“Do you still know to come back?!”

Seeing her pink face with reddish brows and smiling eyes, it was obvious that the host and the host were having a good time. Jia Zhen became more and more unhappy. She turned over from the bed and sat up, yelling and cursing: “It’s fine if you don’t go to jail to pick up your master. I didn’t even see you in the sun, so I just left an old woman beside…”

“What about the old woman?”

Yushi, who doesn’t want to be stubborn all the time, refused to let him scold him this time, and sneered with a gun and a stick: “If it weren’t for her to serve you since childhood, I’m afraid that you are drunk and dead here. No one knows. !”

“You mean maid is going to reverse it?!”

Jia Zhen was furious with anger, and pointed and forced forward.

After all, he has been accumulating prestige for a long time. Seeing his beard and hair full of hair, You’s can’t help but retreat, pulling the curtain with one hand and trying to seize the door and fleeing, but saw Jia Zhen staggering back two steps with his head, and then plopping and sitting down. Stepped back on.

You’s courage suddenly became stronger again. Thinking of what he had discussed with Wang Xifeng just now, he found out an account book from next door with a calm face, threw it into Jia Zhen’s arms, and sneered: “Master, when I love you in front of others The slave girl? But if you offend Feng Lazi again, you are afraid that it is not that nobody cares, but that you will worry about eating and drinking!”

Jia Zhen is a bullying and fearful of hardship in her bones, not to mention that she has just received six months of discipline in prison.

At this moment, seeing the arrogance of the always well-behaved wife, I felt a little guilty. While opening the account book, he said sternly: “Master, this wine hasn’t woken up yet, what are you doing with a book? “

“It’s for the Lord to sober up!”

You’s chuckled and said: “So that the master knows that our subordinates have been cleaned up. Jia Qiang eloped with two actors and eloped, so your little concubines are also looking for a way out…”

“what?!”

After hearing this, Jia Zhen really became less drunk, and asked dumbfounded: “How dare you, how dare you…”

“They have to go by themselves, they have nothing to do with me.”

You Shi rolled his eyes and pointed to the account book and said, “Master, let’s take a look at the account book first. Can those with delicate bodies and expensive bodies follow us to get cold and hungry?”

Jia Zhen just started to look carefully, but his hangover has not disappeared, and he is used to letting go of the shopkeeper. Where can he see it in a hurry?

So Yushi finally helped him to make a summary.

Since Ningguo Mansion was confiscated, it hasn’t been much better, not to mention being a family disciple.

How can the remaining little floating wealth be raised five or six hundred mouthfuls for eating, drinking, and chewing?

After only half a month of work, the money and food ran out, and he could only dismiss the servants while asking for help from the Rongguo Mansion.

But Rongguo Mansion is not as good as it was before. It was already cutting down on food and clothing to reduce expenses, and saving the Ningguo Mansion in an emergency. It is absolutely impossible to maintain Jia Zhen and Jia Rong’s wives and concubines to continue living the life of extravagance and desperation.

Coupled with You’s intention to overcome the coercion, within a few months of hard work, even Jia Rong’s continuation of Hu’s family couldn’t bear to be poor, and escaped from the house to hang out with a few dandy boys—this is the original Jia Zhen and Jia. Rong helped the paved way.

Up to now, only You and Fang’er are left in the family, not to mention, they owe a lot of money to the Rongguo Mansion. Although the relationship between the two families, the Rongguo Mansion may not be able to ask for it, but this is by no means a long-term solution.

After understanding the current situation of her family, the blood on Jia Zhen’s face faded a little, and she slumped on the head of the bed and muttered repeatedly: “Why is this, why is this…”

After half a year in jail, he was already haggard a lot. Before, he was still a little bit spirited with alcohol, but now that he is depressed, he seems to be declining before he is old.

When you saw this, instead of showing half pity and sympathy, You’s heart was full of comfort and contempt, and then took the opportunity to throw a basin of cold water on: “I just heard Feng Lazi and Aunt Zheng say that his family stayed behind to make amnesty for the uncle. I’m afraid that it’s about to start to be sold by sellers–I’m embarrassed to hit the autumn wind again this time, the master had better think quickly, don’t even be able to do it with relatives in the end.

Jia Zhen became more and more slumped, looked at the account book in her arms, and looked at Youshi with a cold eyebrow, and couldn’t help but sighed: “Where is the urgency going?”

With a fluke, he said, “Besides, even though Xifu has become a ruined residence, there are still a few broad relatives there. It will not shorten the cost of food and clothing for our husband and wife, right?”

After that, seeing You’s sneer, Jia Zhen became a little bit irritated and irritated. She threw the account book on the ground with a snap, and asked: “What about you? Have you come up with a good idea?!”

“It’s not without an idea.”

You’s just waiting for him to say this, and immediately raised his eyebrows: “Taipei Sun will be married in a few days. How can he be such an identity…”

“and many more!”

Jia Zhen interrupted her, wondering: “Who is Taiwei Sun?”

“Self-in-law Sun Jiajiro!”

You’s and You Rongyan raised their faces: “The queen mother [prince concubine] appointed, and Master Sun will take over as the admiral of the Dragon Guard. This is from the first-grade official position, and naturally it should be named as the lieutenant.”

“He actually became the admiral of the Dragon Guard?!”

Jia Zhen suspected that it was in a dream. Although Sun Shaozong got off the ground very quickly in the past few years, he had already been surprised, but in just a few months, he was promoted from a fourth-rank official to a first-rank senior. It is really unacceptable.

Suddenly, he remembered something, and hurriedly pushed Fang’er out, and then leaned close to Youshi, expecting to say: “You and him are not…hehe, I can’t ask him to help the master find a good job. From now on, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing anymore!”

“Pooh!”

You immediately slapped his face, took two steps back vigilantly, and said coldly: “At this time, the master still does not forget the innocence! I will pay it, if you let Sun Taiwei know, pay close attention to you. bone!”

“you……”

Jia Zhen also took a half step back, wiped her face with her sleeves angrily, and said in anger, “Well, what do you say? The family is all in a deficit, and Xifu is unreliable as you said. Are we going to do it on the street? Can’t a beggar?!”

“Which one wants the master to be a beggar?”

You’s said: “The West Mansion can sell the products to make up the holes, but the East Mansion won’t make it?”

Jia Zhen kicked the ledger, then rolled his eyes at You, obviously saying that Ning Guo Mansion was already a mess, and there was nothing to sell.

But you heard you continue to say: “With Sun Taiwei’s current status, how can he be squeezed with his brother again? I expect that he will have to buy another house before and after his wedding. That’s the case, let’s…”

“You mean…”

Jia Zhen’s eyes widened suddenly: “Sell Ningguo Mansion to him?!”

When he said that, he became furious, and pointed at You Shi and cursed: “Oh, you are a **** maid, who just turned off the fake, and now I want to help the adulterer get his father’s ancestral property! Really I am a man. Has the cub selling Ye Tian settled down?! Okay, okay, if you don’t teach you any more today, you are afraid that you will have to murder your husband!”

With that said, Zhang Ya Wu Claw is about to come forward and fight.

Fortunately, Youshi had been wary for a long time, and he also had a hangover, and his feet were weak and vain. He only leaned forward and escaped, and ran away after opening the curtain.

Jia Zhen hurried a few steps behind, almost falling down with a deep foot and a shallow foot, so she cursed and went back to the room, yelling that you would show her a good look when you came back.

I don’t want You to take his son to Wang Xifeng and turn a blind eye to Jia Zhen and his son ever since.

Jia Zhen became more and more angry, and Jia Rong’s swearing at home at home, and came up with all kinds of ways to concoct You.

However, within a few days, Fang’er, the only remaining old concubine in the family, found her, saying that it was less than a day’s worth of firewood and rice at home.

Jia Zhen thought, if You Shi was willing to ask for some silver from the Rongguo Mansion, it would be okay to be lighthearted.

But when you find Wang Xifeng, You’s just avoiding it.

Jia Zhen was furious, and went back to the bottom to curse until midnight to rest. By noon the next day, she was really hungry, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Jia Zheng to borrow money.

He had to borrow one thousand taels of silver when he opened his mouth, but Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and squeezed two hundred taels to him.

Jia Zhen was disappointed. He thought that he could do some small business with one thousand taels, but what was the two hundred taels enough for?

After going home and discussing two and a half sentences with his son, the father and son unanimously decided to sacrifice to the five internal organs temple first, and then make a good plan.

So I left Fang’er and went to a restaurant he was used to eating and drinking, and each took two noodles home to be happy. The next day I woke up and found that I had spent more than sixty taels of silver. This was the beginning. Regret endlessly.

In the next few days, I changed to a lower-grade restaurant for consumption, and the fantou was shared by father and son.

But to live so frugally, I have to pay six to seven picks every day, and the rest is scattered in half a month.

Seeing that the cooking was about to be cut off again, the father and the son had a frowning discussion for a long time, but they really wanted not to get rich, so they had to look for Jiazheng with a shy face.

This time he received a lot of scolding, but only fifty taels of silver were given to him.

The father and son returned home with a sullen face, and finally gained a little memory, wondering whether it was too expensive outside, or it would be more affordable to fire on their own.

As for physiological needs…

Although Fang’er is older, he can still make do with his scalp, and the father and son don’t have to look for any fans anymore.

But he did not expect that his father and son had a good calculation, but Fang’er had heard about it a long time ago. At that time, he was ashamed and angry. , But never thought about what Fang’er would do for a living at home, so she still persisted, but she didn’t expect to end up like this.

At the moment, he left two beasts and went to seek Youshi to call the shots.

If Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were left behind, they couldn’t carry them on their shoulders and couldn’t carry them. They wanted to borrow a few maids and women in Rongguo Mansion, but who would jump into this fire pit?

So the idea of ​​firing fell apart.

The father and son had no choice but to choose the fly house and the food stall to barely eat their stomachs. As for the fans, the five girls could only temporarily take over.

It’s just that after a long time, Jia Zhen feels more and more that his son Jia Rong has a delicate eyebrows and a natural fascination…

This is the case, but it can take some time.

But this day, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong went to a small stall outside to eat wontons, and they ran into the old fox and dog party when they sat down.

After eating a few sneers and sarcasm from the other party, Jia Zhen got angry again and put down a banquet to summon fans, so that the few villains could see what a lean camel is bigger than a horse!

The face-slapped pretending is quite successful.

But when she woke up the next day, Jia Zhen wished she could smash her old face–just the time spent on a meal, the money she lived on was scattered and clean, and she owed the restaurant more than ten taels!

After learning from the pain, Jia Zhen cheered up again, gritted his teeth and stomped to find Youshi, and threw down the two words boldly: “Sold!”

At the end of May, Ningguo Mansion changed hands.

Subsequently, Sun Taiwei sent a hundred servants for a simple rest, during which Youshi, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, and Aunt Xue took turns to supervise the work and contributed many good ideas for Sun Taiwei to adopt daily.

In mid-June, there was another decree in the palace, and the Franchised Grand View Garden was reopened as a wedding ceremony.

For a while in the Grand View Garden, it seems that it has returned to its heyday a few years ago…
