My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 10
Back to the lobby

Yuan Yingde was in a dilemma when he looked at the file sent by the Yamen below.

Whether judging from the files or the investigation by the government officials, there is no doubt that the three people who provoked Jia Yu were ruffians from Dongcheng District.

Moreover, they were the ones who took the initiative to provoke Jia Yu. After Jia Yu was unwilling to give in and injured one of them, the other two immediately showed their murder weapons.

Jia Yu had no choice but to fight back with the weapons she carried, which resulted in one death and two serious injuries.

The question now is whether Jia Yu's behavior is considered negligent homicide or self-defense. This also puts Yuan Yingde, an official who has been in office for more than ten years, in a dilemma.

After thinking for a long time, Yuan Yingde still couldn't figure out his thoughts, so he had no choice but to order Jia Yu to be imprisoned first.

After returning to the back hall, Yuan Yingde called the master and whispered a few instructions. The master expressed his understanding and left.

Rongguofu

Today is Jia Mu's birthday. Jia Mu, who always likes to sleep late, got up early today and asked Yuanyang to dress her up right after breakfast.

Today, Jia Mu is wearing a brand-new Jiaolong Chuhai silver-red glitter embroidered soft armor, a Yuanqing crepe sweat scarf tied around her waist, and green satin powder-soled small court boots at her feet.

On the top of the big peak is a crimson velvet hairpin decorated with two pearls, on the forehead is a purple gold crown inlaid with jewels, on the neck is a large red tassel, and on the body is a gold-trimmed, colorless and lustrous satin coat, tied at the bottom. Wearing a bean green palace sash Pisces auspicious little skirt.

The whole person looks dignified and kind, but also rich and gorgeous.

When Jia Mu came to Rongxi Hall with Yuanyang's support, Rongxi Hall was already filled with children and grandchildren.

His two sons, Jia She and Jia Zheng, and his two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, were sitting on the left and right.

Next are Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng, Li Zhi, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun, Jia Xichun, Jia Tanchun and other grandchildren.

As soon as Jia Mu sat down, Jia She and Jia Zheng stood up and knelt down towards Jia Mu. Behind them, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and all their children and grandchildren did not dare to neglect and knelt down together.

"My son (daughter-in-law, children and grandchildren) would like to wish my mother (mother-in-law, ancestor) every year and every year.

I am grateful to my mother (ancestor) for her hard work and raising me up.May my mother (ancestor) live a long and prosperous life! "

"Okay, okay... If I can see you all well, I can live at least ten more years! Everyone, get up!"

Mother Jia looked at her children and grandchildren who were kneeling to her and the girls who were all dressed up. Her heart was filled with joy, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were loosened a lot. She quickly waved her hand to let everyone stand up.

"Mandarin ducks... Let's watch..."

"Yes!"

Yuanyang, who had been standing behind Jia Mu, smiled slightly and nodded to the two maids not far away. The two maids understood and picked up the small cloth bags with silver knives that they had prepared and handed them to the newly stood up in turn. of people.

The so-called silver coins are different styles of currency made of silver, including plum blossom type, begonia type, pen ingot Ruyi type, eight treasure couplets, etc.

Because they come in various styles and are cast with auspicious words, they not only reflect wealth and status, but also have beautiful meanings. They are somewhat similar to today's commemorative coins in later generations. Therefore, they are generally not used for currency circulation, but are more suitable for appreciation and collection.

Jia She, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others relied on their status and took the small cloth bag and put it into their pockets.

When Jia Baoyu and the other juniors opened the bag, they all cheered happily when they saw silver pins engraved with plum blossoms or various animal patterns.

"I have a sika deer here, what's yours?"

"Mine is a little turtle." "Hehe... It seems that even God knows you and has specially chosen the pattern for you."

"Ah...who do you think is the little turtle?"

"Hey, help... Sister Lin is going to hit someone!"

For a time, the entire Rongxi Hall was bustling with activity
At this time, Jia Baoyu walked up to Jia Mu, handed her the silver lock in his hand, looked at it, and asked:
"Ancestor, why are other people's silver thorns either sika deer or peonies, but mine is a monkey?"

Mother Jia smiled and stroked his head and said, "That's not bad. Aren't you just a little monkey? You are so naughty all day long that you worry about me."

"No...I want to change it."

Jia Baoyu was unhappy and buried his head in Jia Mu's arms, making her laugh.

"Okay, okay, you little monkey, don't bother me. Go and play with your sisters."

Just as the family was enjoying themselves, a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue brocade robe, with a thin figure and a goatee under his chin hurriedly came to Rongxi Hall, walked up to Jia Mu and whispered: "Old lady, by the way Tianfu Yin has come, and he is waiting in the outer hall now."

"Is someone coming from Shuntian Mansion?"

Mother Jia, who was smiling happily, looked stagnant and asked in confusion: "What are the people from Shuntian Mansion doing here?"

She looked at the two sons who had taken action and said, "Zheng'er, go over and see what's going on."

Jia Zheng stood up and said respectfully: "Yes... I will report to my mother after the child comes over to ask questions."

After saying that, Jia Zheng left the Rongxi Hall.

After Jia Zheng left, Rongxi Hall seemed to be much quieter.

Even the sisters who were fighting just now stopped talking.

Seeing this, Mother Jia couldn't help feeling unhappy, but luckily there was someone in the crowd who could liven up the atmosphere.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows like a willow and smiled deliberately: "Baoyu... didn't you just make trouble with the ancestor and ask him to replace your little monkey? Now the ancestor is free, why don't you go?" Are you bothering her old man?"

Jia Baoyu was among the sisters joking with them at this time. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Sister Feng, you are too late. I have already exchanged my silver crown with Sister Xiangyun's."

After saying that, he proudly raised the silver thorn in his hand. The rose on it looked particularly clear against the sunlight.

The girls all laughed when they heard this.

One wears a used, three-inlaid leader, autumn fragrant color, gold plate, five-color embroidery, dragon, narrow silver mouse short coat, a short crimson satin fox pleat underneath, and a long bow-knot tassel tightly tied around the waist. The girl with the five-colored palace ribbon snorted softly.

This girl has fair skin and looks as smooth as jade.Her eyes are big and lively, exuding a fresh and refined temperament. She is none other than Shi Xiangyun who came from Shi's Mansion to congratulate Jia's mother on her birthday.

"Second brother has the nerve to say that if you hadn't forced me to exchange for the silver lock, I wouldn't have given it to you."

Baoyu became anxious and said: "Why did I forcefully exchange your silver lock? You exchanged it with me willingly, but now you are complaining about me.

If you regret it now, I will return the silver coin to you now, and I don’t want that one anymore. "

After saying that, he angrily thrust the silver lock in his hand into Shi Xiangyun's hand.
