Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 152: The aftermath of Xishan: The two sisters in the boudoir chatting about anecdotes
Chapter 152: The aftermath of Xishan: The two sisters in the boudoir chatting about anecdotes
The incident in Xishan has spread, but people have different opinions, and the true situation has not been spread, but everything that should be known is already known.
Emperor Qingfeng was furious when he heard that such a group of daring thieves had appeared around Shenjing. He called him "evil thieves" and cursed his subordinate officials for their incompetence.
Sheng Hong, who manages Shuntian Mansion, as the chief official of the area, naturally has to be punished because of local unrest.
Fortunately, the emperor knew that Shenghong had been overwhelmed by the refugees fleeing the famine, and after all, Shuntian Mansion was only responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital. This time, the thieves used military weapons to openly attack the officials' family members. This behavior obviously exceeded the level of the local government. In the end,
At the very least, it must be the responsibility of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, the Embroidery Guards and the City Patrol Censor.
In addition, the female relatives of the Sheng family were also one of the targets of this attack. In a sense, the Sheng family was also the source of suffering, so they just verbally reprimanded a few words. In the end, it was the Xiu Yiwei and the censor who patrolled the city who took the blame. Except for the Xiu Yiwei Bai Hu, who successfully spied out the attack information, the rest of the people from Qianhu to Baihu were all
He was jerked off to the bottom and let out.
As for the commander of the Xiuyi Guards, he was dismissed and retained in his post for meritorious service.
The worst thing was the censor who patrolled the city. He didn't know anything, so he was casually accused and moved to a remote area to become a county magistrate.
In order to find out the truth as soon as possible, the Xiuyi Guards went out with all their strength. They did catch some suspicious people during overt and covert investigations. However, after the interrogation, there were no clues about the attackers. As time went by, their pressure also became
Getting bigger and bigger.
Someone once suggested that the whole city should be searched, but in the end they were scolded. Concubine Rong Guifei, the emperor's favorite concubine, was involved. If this matter got too big, even if the culprit was eventually found, the good results would turn into bad ones.
.
Shenjing, Shengfu.
Since something almost happened on Double Ninth Festival, Sheng Hong has strictly ordered his children not to leave the city.
"Girl, the young man from the Jia family is here again!" Xiao Tao jumped into Minglan's courtyard and whispered in Minglan's ear.
"Ah!"
Minglan was practicing calligraphy. When she heard this, the pen in her hand suddenly became harder, and the handwriting that was originally well-written suddenly became crooked.
But at this time, she had no time to take care of the broken words, because her whole mind was attracted by what Xiao Tao said.
"Girl, I heard that the brother of the Jia family is here to say goodbye to the master."
"Farewell?" Minglan showed some confusion after hearing this, and then asked: "Why did he come to say goodbye beforehand?
Xiao Tao thought for a moment and shook her head blankly: "I don't know..."
"You..." Minglan's curiosity was suddenly suspended in the air, and she felt uncomfortable.
Xiaotao pouted: "Girl, you can't blame me. I'm just a member of the inner house. The brother of the Jia family talked with the master in the main hall. I only heard about it from the boy waiting in the corridor.
."
"Xiao Liu'er~" At this moment, a crisp voice came into the small courtyard, and the fifth girl from the Sheng family walked in like a storm, and said at the top of her head: "Did you know? That brother from the Jia family actually said that he wanted to go out for a trip.
, I came here specifically to say goodbye to my father."
Minglan opened her eyes slightly: "Traveling? Isn't it going to be a trial next spring? Why go traveling at this time?"
Rulan seemed to be a general who had returned victoriously, telling the news he had heard in detail.
In fact, she didn't hear much. In fact, most of them were fragments of words that Wang heard from Sheng Hong, which were processed by Ru Lan herself and then interpreted.
Faced with Rulan's embellished description, Minglan re-translated it according to her sister's consistent logic and understood it.
[I actually gave up the exam next spring, this kind of mentality...]
Unconsciously, Minglan admired Jialan.
Rulan finished speaking in one breath, took the tea cup from Xiaotao and drank it in one gulp. After moistening her throat, she smiled mysteriously, approached Minglan and asked, "Do you know?"
After saying that, she stretched out her hand and pointed.
Minglan was still thinking about Jia Lan and didn't react for a moment. She just blinked and said "Huh?"
In fact, she was blinded by a blind eye. She was busy thinking about things, but she didn't expect that her fifth sister would always go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Seeing this, Rulan felt short of breath, so she had to point her finger again and speak: "It's that little vixen in Lin Qige!"
"Ah?" Minglan looked at the gloating that could not be concealed on Rulan's face, and seemed to understand a little bit, and said in a dignified voice: "You mean...fourth sister?!"
Ru Lan showed a teachable look. She had always been an outspoken person, but now she could no longer hold back her inner excitement and eagerly wanted to share with Ming Lan: "You know, that little vixen jumped out when he saw the opportunity and pretended
She acted like a lady and said hello to that brother, and then used her charming spirit to make secret glances at him..."
After saying this, Ru Lan, who had been gritting her teeth, started to laugh: "I didn't know that the guy from Jia Mansion was also a wonderful person. He just smiled and turned around and left. The little vixen was so angry that he immediately stamped his feet!"
Minglan also laughed after hearing this and echoed: "Is it so interesting?"
"That's not all!" Ru Lan continued with a twinkle in her eyes: "You know that Hu Meizi is not someone who gives up easily, and then she, she...hahaha...!"
"What is she? Don't just smile, Fifth Sister." Minglan asked curiously.
Ru Lan finally suppressed her laughter, "That Hu Meizi was unwilling to give in, so she pretended to throw away the handkerchief in her hand, and made a noise in an attempt to attract that brother's attention, but..."
Another burst of laughter.
"The Jia family brother didn't answer the question at all and just left. Hu Meizi chased after her in a hurry, but she stepped on the handkerchief and slipped and fell to the ground!"
After saying that, Rulan couldn't help it any longer and lay on the table laughing.
"Pfft!" Xiao Tao, who was standing aside and listened to the whole thing from beginning to end, immediately laughed. Minglan was infected by the emotions of the two people, imagining the situation at that time in her mind, and also laughed.
Rulan said in relief: "That Hu Meizi deserves it. If she's a man, just get in on her! Now she's finally hit the wall!"
"Fifth sister, you saw it so clearly, could it be that you were at the scene?" Minglan asked casually with a smile.
"That's it!" Ru Lan nodded proudly, "I saw the sneaky look of that fox girl, so I followed her quietly. I didn't expect that I would see such an interesting scene!" After that, she also
He praised Jialan very much, saying that he could withstand the temptation of Hu Meizi and was not one of those superficial people.
Listening to Rulan's chatter, Minglan let out a breath for no reason. She caught sight of something on the side out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes immediately froze slightly.
It was a pair of gloves that had just begun to be knitted, and even its shape had not yet been revealed.
