The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Chapter 16 Zhang's Weak Resistance

At the beginning, Jia Shishi didn't want her beloved son to stay away, but it was great to be able to study in the Imperial College. Although she didn't like the eldest son, she didn't think about giving the title to the second son at the moment. She did tell the Wang family that she would let him As the housekeeper of the Wang family, this is just to show her position. She doesn't like Mrs. Zhang, and she hasn't handed over the housekeeping power to Mrs. Zhang so far.It is not difficult to find a reason to give the housekeeping power to the second daughter-in-law, and if the title falls to the boss in the future, the housekeeping power can also bring some benefits to the second daughter-in-law.

"They are all sons of concubines, and the palms and backs of their hands are all their own flesh. Although Zheng'er has been raised by him since he was a child, it is inevitable that he loves him more. Xie'er has a title and an old lady keeps a private house. In the future, he can get more than half of the family. Family property, but Zheng'er has nothing. Zheng'er was smart, studious, filial and sensible since he was a child, but he was uncommon. Although I knew it was bad, but..." After Jia Zhou's death, Jia Shi felt relaxed and comfortable, Since she was able to tell the Wang family before, she was somewhat sure.Besides, Jia Daishan has always loved Zheng'er and had a family. Because of the old thing's private property before, he felt a little guilty towards Zheng'er. Jia Zhou looked at Jia Daishan who got the news and came to question him, and he had already thought of an excuse.

When Jia Daishan first learned about this incident, he felt a little uncomfortable. Jia Shishi was his first wife, and the two of them were young couples. There is no complaint at all, but at the beginning of the wedding, he went out to fight in a few months, and the eldest son did not come back after birth. Jia Shishi had to be a housekeeper, but also worried about the eldest son who was with his mother. The mother was really stubborn a few years ago, and the grandmother also Not a good servant, she has worked hard for this family for so many years.After Jia Shishi came in, it was the third time that he just stayed with him to observe the filial piety. In addition to the time he spent fighting outside, the two of them didn't spend many days together.This is also why Jia Shishi has tried not to interfere in whatever he does for so many years, and the majesty of his first wife must be upheld.So at the beginning, because I spoiled my cousin and made her lose face, so my cousin's death was clearly related to her. Although I regretted not protecting my cousin more and was very angry in my heart, I also knew that I had done too much.Afterwards, several concubine daughters were raised cowardly, and Lan'er was even neglected by his subordinates. Although he was angry, he would not embarrass his first wife because of this.She is able to tell clearly which is more important if she is a concubine. Xifujing's elder brother has extraordinary literary talents, and her own family is also quite talented. Concubine and concubine are distinct.

"The daughter-in-law pardon is the eldest daughter-in-law. You must be at a loss when you think about it, but this is really inappropriate. The eldest son is the ancestral family law, and it has been like this since ancient times. You love Zheng'er, but you must know that the elders are orderly. Zhenger I’m here! Don’t worry too much, Zheng’er is smart and studious, since I’m interested in learning, I’ll definitely mention him to pave the way. She’s the eldest daughter-in-law and gave birth to Hu’er. You want to surpass her Giving the housekeeper to the Wang family, apart from offending the Zhang family, has nothing to do with Zheng'er's future. Literati have always settled for such things. Once the inner house is in trouble, Zheng'er will be in a high position in the future and will not be stable." Uncle Jia Yan He and his father Jia Yuan are brothers of the same mother.When they separated, most of the family property and the entire ancestral property belonged to Jia Yan, while Jia Yuan got a small amount of family property and his mother's private property. Of course, these are all in Jia She's hands now. If he didn't feel sorry for his youngest son at all, Jia Daishan himself Believe it, so after talking about it, Jia Daishan understood quite well and didn't want to embarrass his first wife because of this.

Jia Shishi sighed, and nodded slightly, she knew Jia Daishan's temper, so she knew that now was not the time to argue, and she knew when to show weakness.

Mrs. Zhang knew that she was marrying the eldest son since she was married, and she was quite concerned about the housekeeper at the beginning. Shi is right, the housekeeper is a matter of time, and his son is more important. Between the housekeeper and his son, Zhang can still distinguish the importance.So when Jia Shishi tentatively said that she would hand over the housekeeping power to her, Zhang Shi also tentatively refused because of Jia Hu's young age. I kept it by my side, but seeing how reluctant you were, you kept silent."

Zhang's heart trembled when she heard the words. Even if she wanted to be a housekeeper again, she would never give up on her son, so she could only smile cautiously: "Since my daughter-in-law got married, she has been loved by her wife. She is young and has no I have been in charge of the house, and I hope my wife will be tired for a few years."

"That being the case, for Hu'er's sake, I will let you relax for another two years!" Jia Shi was very satisfied with Zhang's knowledge of current affairs.She has only been a real housekeeper for a few years. The old man only gave her the key to the warehouse two years ago. Zheng'er is not married yet, and Min'er is young, so she doesn't trust her daughter-in-law to be the housekeeper.

Mrs. Zhang praised her mother-in-law's housekeeping with a smile on her face, and she revealed to the Duke that Jia Shishi wanted Xiao Wang to enter the housekeeper. She absolutely can't manage the family, Hu'er is her lifeline, if she doesn't look at her, she won't feel at ease.It's not impossible for the mother-in-law to raise her, but Mrs. Zhang is even more worried about the mother-in-law who is more partial to the younger son.

In these three years, except for the first year, Jia Daishan taught Jia She a lot. After all, it is rare to be able to teach his son himself for such a long time. , but has grown a lot.Even if Jia Shishi cared about her youngest son in her heart, the good news that came from Beijing from time to time made her reluctant to drag her son down.

"Haha, I just said that the second child is a hypocrite, but my wife always said that I was jealous!" Jia Amnesty looked at the news from his brother-in-law, and felt very contemptuous. The problem is that I have learned a lot, □adding fragrance... holding girls?Haha, I should show the old lady a look!

Mrs. Zhang naturally understands what Jia She is gloating about, because the old lady made some points on her deathbed, and Mrs. Chen, the nanny of Sister Lan, often said her heart out. Mrs. Zhang did not hide her situation from her family, nor did she Jia's mother was anxious because she didn't give herself the housekeeping power. Although Zhang's family was not as popular as Jia's family, it had a deep foundation. Zhang's mother, An Shi, also raised a lot of points for her daughter, so that she was no longer as simple as before. Even Jia She has grown a lot because of the Yue family's full support and planning. Zhang Shi pursed his lips when he heard Jia She's smile, and said: "It's better for me to say it to my wife. My uncle has a lot more heart than my master. , I have already told my wife that this is a gathering of literati, and I am just following the crowd. Not only the wife, but also the master knows it."

"I know, I remember everything you said in my heart!" After Jia Zhou's death, in the whole family, only his wife had no selfishness towards him, and she devoted herself to planning for herself. He is considerate and considerate, and he is not to be seen when he is with him to endure hardships. Not to mention the new teachings of his grandfather Zhang Taifu, even his brother-in-law with extraordinary literary talent is also very good to him, and he even wrote letters to discuss antiques with him before!Seeing that the Yue family really thought of themselves, they didn't blame themselves for their incompetence in civil and martial arts. They even supported their small hobby of antiques, and even encouraged themselves to become a generation of collectors.Because he is filial to his grandmother who loves him the most, and Jia She is still very controlling when it comes to female sex, so the relationship with Zhang's day and night in the past three years has grown day by day.

Mrs. Zhang is quite convinced of Mother Chen, thinking that what she said is the most important thing for a woman is not power, but her husband's favor and a healthy body. She is not a fool, so she wrote to consult her mother and got the same advice, as long as Jia She is up to the challenge, this family belongs to them.If the mother-in-law insists on going her own way, not to mention the father-in-law, even the seemingly serious uncle may not dare to agree for the sake of his future.As long as I can control Jia Amnesty, it doesn't matter whether I give the housekeeping power to myself or not, even if my mother-in-law won't really delegate power, my dowry and Jia Amnesty's family background are not weak at all, and Jia Amnesty still has the old lady's private house. However, the private property and dowry accumulated by the mistress for several generations is no less than that of the father-in-law, and neither of them expects to live on the little monthly money of the father-in-law.

"The filial piety period is almost over. I heard that the filial piety period is about to prepare for the marriage of the second sister, but the marriage is really bad... This marriage is connected with the good of the whole family, and this son of the Chu family is actually full of poisons." Yes, not to mention anything else, what if our family is involved in the future? I heard from the elder brother that a while ago, because of a prostitute, he had a fight with the concubine of King Dongping, and it is said that his legs were all discounted..." The girls of Hefu , Mrs. Zhang is the most optimistic about Jia Min. Jia Min likes this talent so much that she can keep up with her sister-in-law. Because of her dissatisfaction with herself, she also took good care of the other concubine daughters, even the married Jia Mo never broke the three rituals.Among the three concubine sisters, Zhang had the best personal relationship with Jia Lan, but because Jia Lan was low-key and dull, it was not obvious, and Jia Ting was not very close, but Jia Mo respected her as a sister-in-law.Mrs. Zhang did this because her mother-in-law did too much.Those who practiced against her couldn't help but want to help her.Coupled with the surrender and begging of Aunt Chen in the father-in-law's house, Mrs. Zhang felt that Jia Ting could give her a hand!Her mother-in-law's oppression is also extremely annoying in her heart, so she feels really uncomfortable if she doesn't do anything.
