The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Even Jia Lan could see the change in Jia Amnesty. His cloudy eyes gradually became clearer, and he was not as fond of women as before.Jia Zhou has always doted on this grandson, and now grandson learns from others to appreciate it. Jia Zhou is not stingy with good things at all. She has a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings in her hands. Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan are powerful officials. Yes, she even has the dowry of the previous generations of Jia's mistresses in her hands. The sum of good things is not much more than the Rongguo Mansion's warehouse. After thinking about it, I gave one to Jia Zheng and Jia Min each, and gave Jia Lan a small box of jewels in private.

Seeing Jia Zheng happily saying that the ancient painting given by his grandmother was very good, Jia Shishi felt very uncomfortable, and gave the boss two big boxes, and this is the only one for Zheng'er?This old thing is too eccentric?

"It's Zhang Taifu's blessing to give She'er advice. Master, you also said that Zhang Taifu's article is good, our Zheng'er..." Although Jia Shishi was a little bit annoyed, when she thought that Jia She was like this in her life, she didn't think so at first. It's a good thing for him to learn about antiques from Taifu Zhang, and he scolded him a few times for being worthless.But when going out to socialize, now everyone’s evaluation of Jia She is getting higher and higher. Later, I learned that Taifu Zhang took Jia She not only to learn how to appreciate antiques, but also took him to deal with Qingliu. There were also quite a few disciples, but Jia Amnesty caught the attention of these people by continuing his hand. Jia Shishi immediately felt that this opportunity should be given to the youngest son, after all, compared to the eldest son, the youngest son is more talented.

When Jia Shishi said this, Jia Daishan understood what she meant, but...he didn't mean it.But Zhang Taifu didn't even teach his own children and grandchildren, and only wanted to teach his eldest son well. Jia Daishan thought of what Zhang Taifu said, and he couldn't open his mouth.

"Earlier, Taifu Yin directly said that Zheng'er's poems and essays are good, but he is not young enough to teach him. Taifu Zhang is seven or eight years older than him, so how can he take care of him?" Jia Daishan prevaricated casually, and then said: "When Zheng'er turns fifteen in the coming year, I will arrange for him to study in the Imperial College. The gentlemen there are all officials. The students there are either well-educated people or the children of aristocratic families. It is only half a year before the Imperial College starts next year. Kung fu, what can you learn?"

Jia Shishi stopped talking when she heard the words, she had always wanted her youngest son to enter the Guozijian, but the quota of the Rongguo Mansion was above that of Jia She, and the dead old woman kept refusing it, saying that it was Jia She's quota, and insisted on suppressing Zheng'er. Now that the master finally had this excuse, Jia Shishi couldn't say it anymore.He just wanted to tell Jia Amnesty privately that he would take Zheng'er out to meet Mrs. Zhang. If he wanted to see Zheng'er, he would definitely understand how excellent his son is.

But before Jia Shishi talked to Jia Amnesty about this matter, Jia Shishi almost died of anger because of the incident in the back house.It turned out that Jia Daishan's new favorite, Xiao Chen, was suddenly exposed to the fact that she was pregnant. Xiao Chen's father was a poor scholar who had failed in the imperial examination for many years, but he ruined his family. Xiao Chen's life was barely passable when he was young, but this It's been getting worse for two years. She looks pretty good, knows Wenda, and learned a lot from listening to her father reading those poems. It took some effort for Jia Zhou to find such a person, but After telling her how rich Jia's family is, Xiao Chen's heart was moved, and even when she learned that Jia Daishan was going to go hunting in the mountains and pass through their village, she began to plan.

On a sunny day, Jia Daishan heard crisp singing and a young girl’s charming voice while hunting. Such a smart girl, Jia Daishan was naturally moved, especially when the little girl saw someone rushing to hide behind the stone, but accidentally slipped and fell, her whole body was wet, revealing her exquisite figure, and her pair of steamy eyes The eyes immediately caught Jia Daishan's heart.After learning about the little girl's family background, she felt even more sympathetic, and what happened afterward was a matter of course.After Xiao Chen entered the mansion, her status was much higher than that of the Liu family and the Mi family, and she was the most favored. She was also proud at first, but after being picked on by Jia Shi in various ways, Jia Daishan pretended not to know, and then married Liu. combined with Mie.

Jia Lan watered her little plum blossom while watching the play. The little plum blossom was still a young seedling, but Jia Lan was still full of confidence.Especially after hearing that Jia Daishan came back and reprimanded Jia Shishi because of his future second son-in-law drinking flower wine by chance, and because of his concubine's instigation, he couldn't help laughing.However, the backyard of a Duke's mansion is so lively. If you want to come to the harem of the emperor Laozi, it will be full of swords, lights and swords, right?She has given up all hope for a future husband. In that era of equality between men and women, she has yet to find a man who is willing to treat her wholeheartedly, let alone in this era when wives and concubines are legal?As long as she is responsible, she can live a good life.

Jia Hu, a character who no longer exists at the beginning of the Red Chamber, Jia Lan's mood is a bit complicated.Since Jia Zhou's birth, it seems that he has let go of the last thought in his heart, and the time of waking up every day is getting shorter and shorter. Jia She, who was raised by Jia Zhou's, is very anxious about the situation of his grandmother, knowing that she likes her great-grandson , and often asked Zhang to bring him for fun, so there were many opportunities to meet Jia Lan.Children don't know what to do, Zhang took good care of her during pregnancy, and the baby was born very healthy.Because of Jia Lan's suggestion before, Mrs. Zhang accepted Jia Lan's affection and treated her really well.Jia Lan knew that none of them lived long. Although Jia Lan was not a holy mother, she was willing to say a few words to form a good relationship.

Jia Lan lived very well in front of Jia Zhou's family. Jia Zhou's family was sick and Jia Lan was very nervous. Even though she didn't have much affection for her granddaughter, Jia Lan's life would not be sad with her protection, but now The only little plum blossom she relied on could not be used, so Jia Lan begged Jia Daishan to find medical books, wanting to read more and see what she could do to help.

Jia Zhou's family can feel Jia Lan's filial piety. Jia Lan has been with her for several years. Although her feelings are far from comparable to Jia Amnesty, she is also somewhat sincere. The Jia Zhou family often gave Jia Lan some headgear, and secretly gave Chen's mother some silver taels.

Seeing that Jia Zhou's spirit is getting worse day by day, Jia Shi occasionally sees the cold light flashing in his eyes, and Jia Lan shrinks his neck, as if he is innocent. After Feng got sick, he said, "Going to the doctor's office to ask for a doctor, or going to the imperial hospital to ask for an imperial doctor is so troublesome! Huer's nephew is so young, why not find a mother who knows medical skills to take care of him all year round? What's the matter?" Things are also convenient."

This sentence was not only heard by Jia Zhou, but also by Zhang. Not long after, Zhang asked her natal mother to send her a pair of mother and daughter. So it was liquidated, and later because it only gave birth to a daughter, it was not tolerated by the husband's family.Zhang's mother, Zhang Zhao, found the mother and daughter and gave up some thoughts. The mother and daughter were also very happy to have a shelter. The nine-year-old daughter Zisu was by Zhang's side, and the mother Song Mrs. Zhang was put next to Jia Hu, and Mrs. Zhang only said to the outside world that she was her mother who had served her before.

Song's medical skills are good, and she is the best at recuperating. She takes good care of Jia Hu, so Zhang is very satisfied. Although Zisu is young, she is also quite smart. Zhang feels that she can be reused after being cultivated.Of course, apart from this idea, Zhang also sent a pack of her favorite 'Golden Beans' to Jia Lan.

It's no secret that Jia Lan likes vulgar things in the Rongguo Mansion. Now the Rongguo Mansion is at its peak, and Jia Shishi doesn't care about her behavior, so Jia Lan has saved a lot of money.

Jia Zhou didn't tell Jia She that she had doubts about Jia Shi, because she knew that even if she made it clear, her stupid grandson might not believe it, but she persuaded Jia She to be better to Zhang, and said a lot about the inside house. In the novel, because her husband was incompetent, he suffered a lot of grievances. He focused on the fact that he had five children but only supported one, which made Jia She pay more attention to the inner house.It's just that for Mrs. Zhang, what she said was not so tactful, but she told the truth that Jia Shishi casually said to Wang Zisheng's wife, her niece, that Miss Wang's family was hired as a housekeeper.

Mrs. Zhang was shocked when she heard the words. She didn't expect that the internal strife in Jia's family was so serious, and she didn't expect that the most favored girl by her mother-in-law's side was actually a mother-in-law, and she didn't expect that her mother-in-law actually planned that. So what should she do, a well-meaning young mistress?Seeing the list given to him by his grandma, Mrs. Zhang was both happy and surprised, scared and angry.

While still awake, the Jia Zhou family originally planned to hand over all of their private houses to Jia She, but seeing Jia Lan's bewildered look, she felt soft in the end. I only said that Jia Min’s dowry must be properly prepared in the future, so I asked Jia Amnesty to help Jia Lan keep it. Jia Min has Jia Zhou’s worries, so Jia Lan It's only up to him, the dowry is given to Jia Lan so that she won't be too shabby to marry in the future, and he is told not to tell Jia Shishi, so as to save her from worrying.There are really not many things for Jia Lan. Seeing his beloved grandmother loving him so much before leaving, Jia She agreed with tears.

At the same time, Jia Zhou secretly gave Jia Lan 2 taels of silver notes and told her to keep them safe.Jia Lan is very good at hiding things. Over the years, no one can find the things she has hidden except herself. Jia Zhou knows that although her granddaughter is young, she is definitely a fortune-telling granddaughter. She feels that gold and silver are touching, so She didn't give it to Chen's mother to help keep it, thinking that if she could keep it, it would be her own ability, and if she couldn't keep it, it would be her own bad luck.
