Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 185 Break the leg!

Daiyu and Tanchun discussed it again and again and decided to alert the enemy. They wrote down the matter in a vague way and asked Zijuan to deliver it to Wang Xifeng personally.

Then I watched her finish reading it, burn it, and then come back.

After reading the letter, Wang Xifeng's face changed. She walked around the room several times before going out to Jia's mother's room.

After entering the room, he saw Mrs. Xing, Xiangyun, Xichun and Yuanyang all there. He first mentioned something and joked for a few words, then mentioned something and asked Mrs. Xing to deal with it, and finally asked Xiangyun to take Xichun out to play. He sent everyone out of the room in various ways.

When Lady Jia saw her solemn expression, her heart skipped a beat and she glanced at Yuanyang.

Yuanyang immediately cleared the room and stood guard at the door.

Wang Xifeng whispered to Daiyu's ear, repeating the words in the letter one by one, with a sad face and a low voice: "Although I don't know about this matter, I don't think I should know it.

"But now that Sister Lin has told me about this, I guess there is nothing she can do. It is difficult for her to ask the ancestors directly about this.

"Who on earth is this person who not only has the horoscope of my third sister, but also knows the relationship between the imperial concubine and our family, and even wants to drag the emperor into this!

"Ancestor, whoever has such a deep hatred with our family will fight to the death!"

Grandmother Jia felt cold sweat breaking out on her back!

After gritting his teeth for a while, he whispered, "We have many enemies. It's not difficult to find this person!

"Only Lai Ma and I knew about this. Now you are one of us. It just so happens that you will be the heir of the nobility in the future, so I should tell you about this."

Wang Xifeng deliberately shook her head and sighed, "Why should I know this? She's just a concubine. When the emperor leaves, he will definitely take her away! Then she won't have any connection with our family at all.

"Knowing all this only adds to my troubles! It would be better if I didn't know! It's the right thing for the old ancestor not to tell me before! I will definitely blame Sister Lin when I see her tomorrow! Why did you tell me so clearly? It would be better if you wrote a letter and asked me to pass it to the old lady!"

Grandmother Jia smiled bitterly and patted her hands: "This thing can't be put on paper. Even if you said that, she couldn't ask me directly, so she had to tell you in a veiled way so that we can have a plan."

After a pause, he said coldly, "The Third Girl's fortune, the Second Master and I naturally know. If the First Master has a good memory, he also knows. I'm afraid that others may not know it very clearly.

"But because of Yingchun and Xichun's affairs, the master probably wouldn't dare to give away the third girl's horoscope.

"The only one left is our Second Master!"

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up immediately and she covered her mouth with her hand: "Could it be that the guy surnamed Sun really wants to marry the county lady?!"

"To ask for the name of a betrothal gift." Grandmother Jia sneered, "Go and have a look under the Kitchen God statue at home to see if someone has secretly used someone else's birth date and horoscope!"

Wang Xifeng picked up her skirt and walked out quickly.

After a moment, he came back sweating all over his forehead and handed a big red card to Lady Jia without saying a word.

Grandmother Jia opened it and looked at the year, then calculated on her fingers: she was twenty-eight years old.

He immediately sneered and ordered Yuanyang: "Ask the eldest and second masters to come over. No one should stand in the yard."

Wang Xifeng seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Grandmother Jia waved her hand: "Don't try to persuade him. If he continues to act like this, the whole family will be ruined by him."

"This may not be the right way. What if that family really wants to marry? What if it's just a coincidence?" Wang Xifeng had no choice but to persuade them softly.

Grandmother Jia shook her head repeatedly: "Whether it is this Sun who did it or not, your second master will not be able to escape this beating.

"I've already said that our family cannot get involved with Princess Yimin anymore, but he still doesn't believe it. This time, I have to let him rest at home for half a year."

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to go out.

That evening, Lin Daiyu received a reply from Wang Xifeng: "It is probably because the Second Master was deceived by Sun Shaozu into marrying, so he gave away the county lady's horoscope.

"The old lady has already informed the elder and second masters of this matter. Now that the second master's leg has been broken by the elder master, he will probably have to recuperate for a year or so.

"I have already asked for leave from the Ministry, using the excuse that I fell off a frightened horse."

Daiyu stared at the paper for a long time, called Tanchun to come over and look at it together, and asked Zijuan to pass a message to the visitor: "The second master is old, and the person who takes care of him needs to be strong and careful. Aunt Zhou may not have the energy to keep up."

The next morning, Aunt Zhou, who was taking care of Jia Zheng, was thrown out of the house with a bowl of hot tea. At noon that day, Caiyun and Xia, who had been serving Wang and was now idle at home, were called back to continue serving Jia Zheng.

After a few days, Jia Huan began to frequently visit Jia Zheng, who was unable to get up from his sickbed, and helped him turn over and even wash.

Suddenly, in Jia Zheng's mouth, Jia Huan was the most filial of all his children.

Daiyu didn't care much about this matter.

After all, she didn't feel sorry for either of the father and son no matter what happened to them.

Under Daiyu's constant urging, Jiang Yong finally burst out with abilities he shouldn't have. He hurried back one day to report:

"Sun Shaozu had only done business in his hometown of Datong before, and his family had quite a bit of money. When he wanted to return to Beijing, he went through the Wang family's connections.

"At that time, Wang Ziteng was touring the nine frontiers and happened to be in Shanxi. Sun Shaozu brought a large amount of gold and silver to see him, and said that the court had a lot of expenses and most of the soldiers were short of money. He brought it out of kindness as a family friend, so as to avoid Wang Shishu's personal guards from being wronged.

"Wang Ziteng was happy, so he wrote to Jia Yucun, asking him for help. Jia Yucun then brought Sun Shaozu back to the capital and appointed him as a candidate for the post in the Ministry of War. This was said before the grand ceremony of our late master.

"Later, the relationship between Jia Yucun and Wang Ziteng was ridiculed by the emperor, and Jia immediately found a post outside the capital. Sun Shaozu was left alone and panicked. He wrote to Jia Yucun, who pushed him back to Wang Ziteng.

"As it happened, not long after that, Wang's 'accidental' death occurred. Wang Ziteng took advantage of this opportunity and asked Sun Shaozu to come to Rongguo Mansion to propose marriage.

"Didn't I tell you before that Sun Shaozu and that poor guy named Fu Shi are in love? Fu Shi gave him a suggestion, telling him to marry the county lady first without any hesitation.

"Sun Shaozu then went to pester the second master of the Jia family again, secretly offering betrothal gifts and asking for a name. The next step is to offer a betrothal gift. The Sun family has already started to buy betrothal gifts!"

Daiyu frowned upon hearing this: "You said that he turned to Yimin again later. Was it Fu Shi who gave him the idea?"

"Yes." Jiang Yong was confident this time, "That's what Fu Shi heard from others. The Queen Mother loved Princess Yimin so much that she paid for the renovation of her house, and she wanted it to be magnificent.

"Fu Shi coveted Princess Yimin, so the man who told her that gave him advice, telling him to impress Jia Zheng and get the princess's horoscope, and half the deal would be done.

“Fu tried it, but Jia Zheng thought he was poor.

"Fu Shi was furious that his mentor, who had always 'valued' him, had such a face, so he wanted to turn the Jia family upside down. So he gave Sun Shaozu that idea."

Daiyu looked at him and took a deep breath: "Then who was the one who gave Fu Shi the idea?"
