The Red Mansions

Chapter 110 My Lord, The Angels in the Palace Are Here Again

Chapter 110 My lord, the angel in the palace is here again...

It was dusk on Ningrong Street, and the afterglow of the setting sun was falling down, covering Ningguo Mansion with a thin layer of golden veil.

In the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, Jia She was standing in the flower hall, surrounded by the servants of the East and West Mansions, walking in a hurry with panic on their faces.

Or in groups of two, carrying the heavy agarwood red lacquered box.

Or holding a vase from the Xuande official kiln of the former Ming Dynasty, stepping carefully across the threshold.

Or three or five people work together to carry a glass screen made of rosewood wood.

Or holding more than a dozen scrolled calligraphy and paintings tied with red strings in his arms.

Servants and maidservants are in a hurry and busy.

Jia Amnesty was standing in the courtyard at the moment, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang led Wu Xindeng, the bank manager of the West Mansion, Shan Daliang, the warehouse manager, and other accountants.

Wu Xindeng and Shan Daliang each held an account book in their hands, and as each servant and maid brought something and put it in the courtyard, they wrote down a sum in the account book.

Jia She's face was blue and gloomy, and he said: "You must record everything, whether it is the cash in the warehouse, large or small antique calligraphy and painting, furniture and furnishings, you must have an account to check. This is the family business in the East Mansion. Who dares to mess it up?" Reach out, Master Ben will never let him!"

Previously, Mother Jia thought that if she moved all the things from the East Mansion to the West Mansion and mixed them together, it would be inconvenient and cause people to laugh in the future, so she specifically told Jia Amnesty to make a register, and she would check it afterwards.

They also sent Sister Feng, Li Wan, and Yuanyang to accompany Youshi to take care of him. They said they were taking care of him, but they were actually looking after Jia She.

This makes Jia Amnesty quite unhappy, who is this guarding against?

He is the first-class general of the imperial court, would he covet the gold and silver belongings of Brother Zhen of the Eastern Mansion?

The left and right are just a few pieces of calligraphy and painting by Tang Yin from the Ming Dynasty in Brother Zhen's study. He just used them for appreciation. .

Thinking of this, Jia She couldn't help but cast a glance at a servant who was holding five or six scrolls, his expression changed suddenly, he held a folding fan in his hand, and scolded: "Slow down, you slave, it's crumpled, take care of your scrolls." Skin!"

At this moment, Mrs. Xing handed over a cup of fragrant tea, and said with frowned eyebrows: "Master, if the land deeds of the farm house and the village shop are to be transferred to the West Mansion, you still need to find the government, the public servants from Jingzhao to witness the delivery."

"Brother Rong, what's the matter?" Jia She asked Jia Rong who was beside him.

Jia Rong looked distressed, and said: "The Jingzhao Yamen said that there are so many farms and shops, and it is not easy to deliver for a while."

"I think that Xu Lu is trying to make things difficult!" Jia She said coldly, and then looked at Jia Lian who was beckoning his servants to lift a kang and a few screens in the distance.

"come over!"

"Master." Jia Lian was called, her powdered handsome face showed a look of haste and panic, she approached and cupped her hands and said, "Master, call me."

Because Jia Amnesty did not allow Jia Lian to call him father, Jia Lian often called him master.

The empresses also called Jia Zheng and Jia She as Elder Master and Second Master.

Holding a folding fan in his hand, Jia Amnesty said, "Go to the second master and ask Fu Shi, the general judge of the Jingzhao Yamen, to bring some clerks over. First, transfer the land deeds of the farmhouse and Zhuangzi to the West Mansion. This matter can't be done again." Procrastination, long nights and dreams."

Jia Lian responded quickly, turned around and went to the West Mansion.

Because Father Zheng really didn't want to see this, he accompanied Jia Mu back to the West Mansion after the ancestral hall left.

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Rong again, and said, "Brother Rong, let me wrong you for a while, and when that person moves into Ningguo Mansion, you will first live in Rongfu Pear Fragrance Courtyard. place to raise."'

When Jia Rong heard the words, she stepped forward and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty is worried."

"It should." Jia Amnesty patted Jia Rong on the shoulder, then looked up at Youshi, Sister Feng, Li Wan, and Yuanyang who were drinking tea in the flower hall.

Looking at Yuanyang's pretty duck-shaped face with a few freckles on both cheeks, Jia She thought, that the yellow-haired girl Yuanyang has grown, and she is becoming more and more beautiful.

Mandarin Duck was born with a narrow waist and shoulders, and of medium stature. At this time, she was wearing a green vest with narrow sleeves and pinched teeth, and a plain plum-colored skirt underneath. Her black hair was combed in two thin braids and fell on the front. She was talking to Sister Feng at the moment. talking.

Youshi sighed faintly, looked at Sister Feng at the side, and said with a wry smile: "When the master's room is vacated, I can only go back to my mother's house."

Sister Feng took You Shi's hand and said, "When you go back to your mother's house, first clean up a yard in the East Mansion and leave it to you to live in."

Youshi shook his head slightly, and said: "There is no such reason, besides, the master is still suffering in prison, where can I go?"

She was originally from a small family, but now she has become an unknown person, will she go to the West Mansion to stir up gossip?

Sister Feng seemed to see Youshi's worries, Danfeng's eyes were a little bit angry, she took Youshi's jade hand, and said: "You, you are a careless person, brother Zhen, he is asking Jia Heng to give you a slap in the face." Yes, I will be back soon after being in prison."

On You Shi's pale face, which I saw pity for, the expression of worry remained undiminished, and he said quietly: "I hope so. At this moment, my heart is flustered, and I also want to go back to my mother's house for a few days."

"It's fine to stay for a few days, the house is in a mess now." Seeing Youshi's gloomy expression, Sister Feng knew that he was upset, so she stopped trying to persuade him, and said softly to Ping'er, "Ping'er, wait a while." Let someone bring my carriage here, and send Sister You back later."

Ping'er smiled softly on her pink and white face, and said: "Grandma, I will go there in person later."

At this moment, a maid from You's mansion came running over and said, "Grandma, Madam Wu said that grandma's house needs to be moved."

Youshi's beautiful brows were gloomy, he waved his hands, and said, "Just put a few things there, and the left and right are not valuable things."

Sister Feng said: "Pack up some dowry jewelry, clothes and shoes, and bring them to your grandma."

On Li Wan's elegant face without makeup, there was a hint of contemplation, and he said softly: "The master Heng has not moved here yet, so he is not in a hurry for this moment, and besides, the master Heng was still in front of the angel in the palace. It’s just a resignation, in case the Holy Majesty approves…”

"Sister-in-law, do you believe what he said?" Sister Feng's phoenix eyes under Liu Ye's eyebrows flashed a hint of sarcasm, and said: "Just now the old man said it all. In the province, maybe everyone in my hometown in Jinling Province knows about it now, so where can he refuse to go? Let me tell you, this person is just trying to be good when he gets a bargain, and even punishing someone who kills someone.”

She doesn't believe in resignation, such a big piece of property in the East Mansion, even if it is the empty Ningguo Mansion, in such a house in Shenjing, it is the first decent one.

Just now, Jia Heng looked like she was ambitious, but she always looked like a traitor in her heart.

Just as Sister Feng was thinking this way, Jia Amnesty also walked into the flower hall from the outer courtyard. Looking at the empty flower hall, there were only a few table decorations, and said to Sister Feng: "Wait a minute, put these paintings in the middle hall on display. Go to my house, this is what the old Duke did with the help of the court under the grace of the great grandfather."

Sister Feng saluted Jia Amnesty from her side, and the phoenix eyes under the willow-leaf slender eyebrows flashed an inexplicable meaning, curled her lips, and said with a smile: "That's good, Zhao'er, Wang'er, be careful with your hands and feet later. Send it to the old man."

At this time, Yuanyang said: "My lord, this painting is a painting in the central hall. The old lady told me before she left, and it will be delivered to the house later."

Jia She heard this, chuckled lightly, and said: "The old lady is old, how can she look at this painting?"

The mandarin ducks are about to argue with reason.

While everyone in the hall was talking, suddenly an old curse came from the corridor in the courtyard, "You prodigal sons, you have lost the good mansion of the state, and the furniture that the grandfather has worked so hard to accumulate has been moved to nothing. A bunch of prodigal sons, I'm going to the ancestral hall to cry for the uncle."

"Who is yelling?" Jia She asked with anger on his thin face.

"It's Jiao Da, who has had too much wine and is cursing." At this time, a servant from the East Mansion came in from under the eaves and replied.

"What kind of slave, you dare to give Huqin even if you have too much wine." Jia Amnesty shouted coldly.

You Shi was about to speak about Jiao Da's love, but Sister Feng pulled her sleeves and signaled with her eyes not to pay attention.

Youshi's jade face was faint, and he sighed softly from the bottom of his heart.

Her husband lost his title due to his crimes, and she will not even be able to live in this mansion in a short time. At this time, the mud bodhisattva is crossing the river, so how can he care about others.

"Brother Rong, hurry up and tie up this slave and drive him away." Jia Amnesty was restless, waved his hand, and called Jia Rong.

Immediately, Jia Rong led several servants, went to the courtyard to hold Jiao Da in the doorway, and tied them with ropes.

Jiao Da, who was drinking red, scolded: "A group of bastards, prodigal sons! Your ancestors' family fortune has been ruined! Brother Rong, don't make your master behave in front of Jiao Da, don't say you are like this, just Your father, your grandfather, don't dare to stand up to Jiao Da, now you and Jiao Da charge the master's money, let's go in with white knives and come out with red knives!"

Elder Jiao burst into tears and cried, "I'm going to the ancestral hall to cry for my grandfather. Now that Chengwang has given birth to these beasts, he steals dogs and chickens every day, and the patriarch finds thieves to rob the daughter-in-law who has never been in the family, and loses his title. Well, what don't I know?"

Jia Rong tied up Jiao Da, and when he heard Jiao Da's yelling, she became very anxious.

Here, Jia Amnesty also came out of the flower hall, angrily said: "Stop your mouth, don't let him yell!"

A few servants quickly took the rag, stuffed it into Jiao Da's mouth, and sent it out.

When Jiao Da was tied up and pushed out, Jia She's face became more and more angry, and he snorted coldly: "Lawless bastard!"

Flicking his sleeves, he was about to return to the flower hall.

Wu Xingdeng on one side was holding the account book, and said with a smile: "My lord, all the gold, silver, jewelry, and jade jewelry have been collected in the booklet."

Shan Daliang also stepped forward and said: "My lord, furniture decoration, antique calligraphy and painting, cloth and silk are also registered in a book for inspection."

Jia Amnesty took the account book and looked through it.

Suddenly, Jia Lian from the Moon's Gate Cave in the distance also came quickly, walked under the eaves of the corridor, and said, "My lord, Fu Tongpan has brought the scribes here, and I can check the land deeds of the farm and shop later, and cut them to the west." Go, son, Fu Tong judge said, the same clan in the mansion will transfer, and there is no need to pay taxes."

Jia She nodded at Jia Lian and said, "Quickly evacuate overnight, don't wait until tomorrow, someone will come from the palace tomorrow."

Jia Lian hesitated and said: "The old lady said earlier that she would leave [-]-[-]% for the patriarch..."

"You bastard, what are you keeping? Is there anything in the Duke's mansion that was not accumulated by my ancestors of Ningguo and Brother Zhen! Isn't he capable, Jia Heng? I want to see him as the patriarch. Looking at the empty Duke's Mansion, how can we turn around!" Jia She's face was livid, and he scolded Jia Lian, and suddenly saw the potted flowers and plants under the veranda from the corner of his eye, and shouted: "Find someone to move these flowers and plants too!"

Jia Lian responded quickly, and went to the corridor, and saw a young man who was helping to carry the wooden table, and he looked familiar, so he said, "Yun'er, find two people to move these flowers and trees to our courtyard in the East Mansion." .”

"And the thrushes and magpies on the gallery, all of which carried their cages to the West Mansion? Give them to Baoyu, Huan'er, and Lan'er!" Jia Shen suddenly saw several birdcages hanging on the corridor, and sneered. With one sound, ordered.

At that time, Jia Qiang, who was beside Jia Rong, stepped forward and said softly, "My lord, let me come, these are all rare and precious varieties, servants, be careful not to kill them."

At this time, Li Wan, who came out with Youshi and Sister Feng, listened to Jia She's words, frowned, and said to Jia Qiang: "Brother Qiang, Lan'er, don't let him play, he is young." He's still young, just the age to go to school."

Jia Amnesty: "..."

He snorted softly, but didn't say anything.

However, at this moment, a few servants came from outside the gate of the ceremony with panicked expressions, and shouted, "My lord, the angels in the palace are here again..."
