Chapter 251 Mid-Autumn Festival [Part 2]
There is a poem that says:
A golden phoenix is draped in a willow-colored shirt, holding a red bean in her slender hands, while a green moth is looking affectionate.
Peach Blossom Cave, Yaotai Dream, who can share the sorrow of spring?
——The Five Dynasties·He Ning's "Heavenly Fairy·Phoenix in Willow Color and Golden Thread"
In the blink of an eye, the sun was already setting in the west.
A woman with a shaggy hair appeared quietly among the rocks. She walked to the roadside by the forest with empty steps. She looked around and saw that there was no one around. She was about to leave quickly when her throat suddenly started to tremble and she hurriedly buried her head in it.
There was a good burst of retching in the forest.
After finally stopping the churning in her stomach, the woman turned around and poked a look into the hole with a shy look, covered her rouged lips with a handkerchief, and then curled away.
After she left, there was first a clanging sound in the cave, and soon a man came out from hiding, leaving only fresh horizontal and vertical carvings on the mountain wall.
This man certainly got what he wanted from Jiao Shun.
But he said that when Shi Shiran returned to the Ningguo Mansion, he made up a lot of lies and wanted to perfunctory everyone. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Great Flower Hall, he saw that the camp was already in chaos, and he didn't care about him at all.
In front of the screen in the middle, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and Jia Lian were seated in a mountain-shaped formation, and they were all looking at the man and woman kneeling in front of them with gloomy expressions.
The woman was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she looked like she was a maid from the Ningguo Mansion. The man was an acquaintance, Ming Yan, who had a grudge against Jiao Shun!
Seeing this, Jiao Shun knew that the previous plan must have worked. He quietly squeezed next to Jia Rong and pretended to ask the reason.
"This kid is also unlucky."
Jia Rong said with a face full of schadenfreude: "He was having an affair with the maid in our house, and unexpectedly he was hit by the third aunt - uncle also knew about the temper of the third aunt, and the whole house knew about it when he shouted, causing trouble.
Even if I don’t want to put it off, I can’t!”
Originally, Jiao Shun and Youshi had agreed to catch the traitor in Ningguo Mansion, but they had been unable to decide who should come forward to catch him. Although Jia Rong was well-behaved and obedient, as a cousin, even if he caught someone close to Jia Baoyu, it would be difficult for him to do so.
It's not good to make a big fuss.
Later, it happened that Sister You wanted to hire a matchmaker, and the matter fell on her head.
She was not from Rong Ning's second house, so she naturally didn't know who Ming Yan was. Moreover, she had been coming and going frequently recently, so it was reasonable for her to stumble upon the adultery by chance.
Moreover, he comes from a small family and has little knowledge, so it is not surprising that he does not know how to help cover it up.
But Jia Rong nodded his own father again with his chin: "It just so happened that our master didn't know what unknown cause was involved, so he just asked the people below to bring him here."
In fact, this was not an unknown fire, but Jia Zhen was moved by the scene, and she secretly resented that this dog slave from the West Mansion had sneaked into her house again, so without any explanation, she had Mingyan Shi'er taken to the big flower hall for interrogation - he couldn't be cured
Can someone named Jiao still be unable to cure Mingyan?!
To put it bluntly, Mingyan not only suffered from Jiao Shun's plot this time, but also took advantage of him out of thin air.
Now facing the trial of the two houses and three courts, even though he was always so bold, he was so frightened that he took the initiative to reveal the adultery before Jia Zheng could even ask.
Hearing that the two people had been linked for a long time, Jia Zheng's face became even more ugly, because in the Ningguo Mansion, the maidservant of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zheng turned his head and asked Jia Zhen: "Brother Zhen, look
How should this matter be handled?”
Jia Zhen stood up hurriedly and pretended to be panicked and said: "My nephew thought they were the maids and servants in this house, so he took them here out of anger. I didn't want to... Since I am a close confidant of Brother Bao, I can't be embarrassed.
"
"What's wrong with that?"
Not mentioning Baoyu, Jia Zheng became even more annoyed when he mentioned Baoyu. First, there was Qingwen who hooked up with the foreign man, and then climbed into Jiao Shun's bed shamelessly and wantonly; now there is Mingyan, and it's a big festival.
He was blatantly having an affair with someone, and was discovered by his relatives!
Is this the filth hiding in his house, or is the root cause of the disease in himself?!
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't care about your maid, but I can't keep this Mingyan! Come on, pull her down and beat her forty, and send her to Shuntian Mansion for justice!"
There was already a healthy servant waiting for me a few minutes ago, so he stepped forward to drag Mingyan and walked out.
Mingyan is only half a teenager. Even if she struggles hard, how can she withstand it?
Seeing that he was about to be dragged out of the door, he suddenly saw someone, so he hurriedly shouted to the person: "Second uncle, second uncle, save me, second uncle!"
Seeing this, they all cast their gaze over, but before they could see clearly who the person was, they saw the other person striding forward, raising his hand with two big-eared posts, and yelling loudly: "You little kid"
You beast, you did such a scandal without telling the family, and now it has ruined the reputation of the house and ruined the interest of the master and his wife. Even if you die ten thousand times, it won't be enough. How can you still dare to call for help?!"
Everyone took a closer look and found that it was Lai Sheng, the chief steward of the Ningguo Mansion.
Mingyan was stunned for a moment and was dragged out of the door. Then she shouted again: "Uncle, uncle, I am your nephew, how could you..."
"Pooh!"
Lai Sheng chased him to the door and spat fiercely: "You are such a despicable person, even if I am willing to forgive you, I can't forgive you!"
With that said, he turned back a few steps and rushed to Jia Zhen, crying and asking Jia Zhen to take him for questioning.
But he said that originally because Baoyu entered the palace, the banquet was a bit boring, but now that it happened again, everyone was even less interested in celebrating the festival.
Therefore, the old lady took the initiative to say that she was tired, and everyone dispersed.
No one else mentions it.
To put it simply, both places have their own stories.
First, when Wang Xifeng returned home, she saw Ping'er had changed her clothes and had even taken a shower. She couldn't help but wonder: "I haven't seen you back in Dongfu for a long time, but why did you run home to wash and change clothes?
"
But I heard Ping'er calmly reply: "I just dressed up in the morning, but in the end it made grandma suspicious of me. I had to go home and change it before I dare to see anyone."
"It won't take so many hours!"
With this excuse, Wang Xifeng complained casually, but without waiting for Ping'er to elaborate further, she hurriedly asked: "Have you met Brother Shun? What did he say?!"
"If it weren't for looking for him, why would it be delayed until now?"
Ping'er still forced himself to explain, and then replied: "He has agreed to help us with the enquiry. It's just that the yamen has been busy recently, so I'm afraid it will take some time to get a clue."
"What are you busy with?"
Wang Xifeng immediately became angry and said bitterly: "He doesn't even care about my affairs. It shows that I have supported their family all these years in vain!"
As he said this, he walked back and forth angrily for a few steps, then turned around and said, "Go and urge him again in the next two days, and ask him to investigate and report as soon as possible!"
Ping'er originally wanted to say something nice to Jiao Shun, but after hearing this instruction, he quickly swallowed his words.
at the same time.
Mrs. Xing also returned to the Dongkua Courtyard by herself, only to see Jia She was sitting in front of the dressing table, looking at the account book, with everything messed up inside and out.
"Master, what is this?"
She cautiously stepped forward and asked.
Jia She raised his head and glanced at her, and cursed angrily: "You stupid woman, you don't know how to be more frugal, or pay more attention to the boy named Jiao borrowing some money? Now there are only three melons and two dates on the account, I'm afraid
Even the mice in the house will starve to death!"
I can still use my body to pay for these five thousand taels!
Mrs.
Bang~
Jia She slapped the account book on the dressing table and sneered without hesitation: "Master, I have raised someone outside. If there are too many, I will still give you three to five hundred taels of silver a month! If I lose her
, it has been spread out, sir, where can I put my face? You can collect another five hundred taels as soon as possible and send someone to deliver it to her!"
Mr. Xing felt even more annoyed when he heard this.
She didn't care that Jia She had another wife, but at the same time, she was thinking of extorting money from herself and giving it to the wild women outside, which was really a bit too much.
In the past, no matter how angry I was, I could only endure it and then gradually forget about it.
But now she doesn't have only one man to rely on.
The more he was wronged by Jia She, the more he turned to Jiao Shun's side.
When Jia She saw her with a grimace and no words, he was not angry. Instead, he suggested with a sinister smile: "Last time, didn't you say that your brother was favored by Jiao Shun and would handle the business for him? Why not let him do it?"
Your brother will get some benefits and then share the profits."
Xing was a little embarrassed subconsciously: "This..."
"What the hell!"
Jia She said without any doubt: "Why did he take on this job because of our dignity? With the benefits, how dare he leave us? The matter is settled like this, I'm only waiting for your money!"
With that said, he got up and left.
Mrs.
Chapter completed!
