The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Especially after seeing the generous dowry, Jia Ting was even more satisfied.She has always been ignored and has lived for more than ten years. Although she is the young lady of the Duke's Mansion, who is better than her?Even the maid around the wife can show her face, so no matter whether she and her sister have always asked for nothing, this marriage is already excellent in her opinion.Yang Jun probably gave a dowry worth 5000 taels. After all, Jia’s family is the government’s mansion, so people can’t make fun of it. Jia Daishan is very optimistic about Yang Jun. Not only is most of the dowry used as a dowry, but in addition to the 1 taels in the palace, he himself Added 5000 taels, 1 taels for Jia Amnesty to help with the dowry plus a heavy dowry, and another [-] taels for Chen to give to Jia Ting as a private house.Jia Shi's heart ached from anger, but after being scolded by Jia Daishan because of the matter of retiring before, he directly pretended to be sick and handed it over to Zhang.

"Don't think too much, the dowry is added with your dowry at home, and the dowry in front of the second brother-in-law is quite a lot. Although she has been brought back to her natal family because she has nowhere to go, the status of the second sister is here, so it can't be too bad "Jia Ting has more than twice the dowry than Jia Mo, which made Jia Mo jealous, so Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.She is no longer the naivety she used to be. Naturally, she will not do less things that can be liked by a few kind words.

Jia Mo didn't dare to offend his eldest sister-in-law. Looking back, he was the first wife, and the second sister was filling in the house. The second brother-in-law beat the second sister for a full round, and he was quite satisfied. His betrothal gift was only five thousand. Much less than my younger sister, besides, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are much easier to serve than my aunt, and my husband treats me very well.Now that I have such a baby in my belly, will there be no good days in the future?My husband is much better than the second brother-in-law I hurriedly glanced at in terms of appearance, temperament, and even age, so I naturally feel a lot more balanced in my heart.Thinking of this, Jia Mo suddenly realized that he was so inappropriate for this. How could he have thought that today would be a good day?

Although it is a step-wife, but the original spouse has no children, and her mother's family even took back the dowry, which is tantamount to breaking off the relationship. Jia Ting knew that he was the same as the original spouse when he married?Besides, Qianhu, who is in his 20s, is a merchant at home, and all of them were made by himself. Compared with the two, Jia Ting is very satisfied with this marriage. She heard from her nurturing aunt that the best marriage candidates are people from good backgrounds. Good character, followed by bad family background but good character, the worst is bad family background and bad character.I retired the worst one, and she is very satisfied with the next best one. My father may not have much affection for her, but he still has a good vision. If they come, then these concubine girls will not have a chance to stand up.She doesn't have many requirements, just being able to be the master of the house.

"You'll be smarter in the future, make friends with sister-in-law more, and curry favor with elder brother and sister-in-law, it will be good for you in the future." Thinking of escaping from the vortex of Jia's family soon, you won't even have to look at the servant's face to add a dish, Being in charge of the house, Jia Ting even couldn't wait, looking at Jia Lan was also pleasing to the eye a lot. By the way, to remind you, to be honest, she was able to hold back in the past few years, not only because of the constant hard work of her biological mother, but also because of Jia Lan. In contrast, I feel that my life is not extremely sad. Although my aunt doesn't like her, she is not as harsh as she is to Jia Lan. The poor child even steals snacks. The second is sad, this is the lady of the Duke's Mansion, who will believe it?

Jia Lan knew that the second elder sister was sympathizing with her again, but she had seen it once when she was drinking porridge and boiled vegetables in plain water, and she had already remembered it in her heart. Although she was a little depressed, she still nodded.

Jia Ting's birthday is in June, and he was still in the period of filial piety when he reached the ceremony. Naturally, he will not make great efforts to arrange it. Although the marriage is urgent, it is easy to do things if he has money. The filial piety is in July, the engagement is in August, and the wedding date is directly set on the twelfth moon.

Three years did not make the emperor forget Jia Daishan. Jia Daishan did not love power like other generals. Shou Xiao did not make any small moves in the past few years. Jia Daishan returned from Shou Xiao with the help of Shi Wang and his family. However, he was appointed by the emperor as the deputy commander of the guards, in charge of the safety of the palace.The official said it was big or small, but the advantage is that he can see the emperor often, which is more important than anything else. Although Jia Daishan is about forty-five, his body has improved a lot after recuperation, and his legs and feet are even better. .Therefore, Jia Ting's marriage, as the first major event after filial piety, was handled fairly properly.

"Everything in a woman's life is false. Only two are true. One is a man and the other is a child. Don't be so shallow that you want to be a housekeeper as soon as you enter the house. Although there are only two of you in the family, you must remember a lot when you get married. If you don't understand, ask more questions. After all, it takes a lifetime. Don't think that you have a high status and want to control a man. As long as you hold on to a man and win his favor and heart, it is really good to have a child. "Before getting married, these words would not have been said by Jia Shishi to Jia Ting. Chen is just an aunt, half a servant, and her vision is not high. Now that she has sold it, her mother-in-law is really unreliable. Zhang Just be a good person to the end, and talk to Jia Ting about things after marriage: "Your man is getting old, and he definitely wants to have a son-in-law as soon as possible, but my sister-in-law still reminds you, wait a few months before you turn sixteen." Pregnancy, the daughter's body is not long enough to give birth, and it is easy to have difficult labor, try to delay it as much as possible, don't underestimate the six months and a year, otherwise, why do the girls in the families of powerful and powerful princes basically only get married after sixteen?"

Jia Lan listened on the sidelines, and she quite agreed in her heart. The ancients married early and matured early. Although Jia Ting was only 15 years old, he was well-raised, well-developed, and even more good-looking. In addition, Jia Daishan Now she can still rely on the outside world, so as long as she doesn't kill herself, life will not be sad.

Jia Ting listened to Zhang Shi's words seriously, then bit her lips, and kowtowed to her. She really thanked this sister-in-law, without his sister-in-law, where would he have a good life now?My aunt told her, don't worry about her. My aunt said that she is old, and she will definitely not be favored in the future, and there are a few good-colored people standing in front of her. As long as she is obedient enough, what happened before will be the same in the future. My marriage has hindered my wife's eyes, but for her reputation, even if my wife is uncomfortable, as long as she is honest and responsible, she can live a good life.

When returning home on the [-]rd, Jia Lan saw Jia Ting, who was wearing a face, and who was not bad at first, making people even more unable to take their eyes off, knowing that she was doing well.

Jia Lan was seven years old when he came back from the filial piety. Jia Shishi stopped Jia Lan and Jia Amnesty from meeting and dating each other on the grounds that men and women had different seats at the age of seven, and completely held Jia Lan in his hands. Jia Shishi's heart was choked with thorns. Once or twice, she didn't intervene in the marriage of the concubine. It was Jia Ting who lost money and married so many dowries, which was several times what was expected. A concubine married five thousand silver. It's the rule of the mansion, if you don't get it, you won't be able to use it here. With so many concubine daughters dowry, then there will be fewer Zheng'er and Min'er left to you in the future?The master is out of his mind, Zhang Shi, who is ignorant, dares to go against his own will, the anger in Jia Shishi's heart can't be suppressed at all, but now the master is actually interested in this rebellious son, and he will teach him when he has nothing to do. Completely forgot about the youngest son, with such a comparison, Jia Shishi was very worried about the youngest son.

"Master, the second girl is married, so her husband has been released. The third girl and Min'er already have husbands, so our family can't use it?" Both of them were out of his grasp, and the first Three, Jia Shishi has decided to hold Jia Lan no matter what.

Jia Ting got married successfully, and he won the favor again. Jia Daishan was in a good mood. Before that, Aunt Chen begged, saying that she and the two younger ones were quite different in age, and it was inappropriate to raise them together. Jia Daishan didn't bother to care about this matter. He has already decided that Jia Shishi will not be involved in Jia Lan's marriage in the future, so he doesn't want to go against her wishes for such a trivial matter. Jia Lan and Jia Min are similar in age and get along very well. Jia Daishan He agreed with Jia Shishi's words.

Seeing this, Jia Shishi's mood improved a little. Looking at his daughter who was becoming more and more beautiful, and then at Jia Lan who was as clumsy as a pig, a gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.Now Jia Shishi doesn't want to abuse Jia Lan and ruin his reputation, but he can still do it.Although seven-year-old Jia Lan and six-year-old Jia Min are studying together, they have less and less contact with each other. Jia Min is very talented and busy studying every day. Even though he is very friendly to Jia Lan, his sister, he doesn't have much time. Jia Lan had to study every day, pretended to be clumsy, and had to deal with Jia Shishi's unexpected trials and tribulations.Both the female husband and the nurturing aunt think that Jia Lan is a bit stupid. Fortunately, they came here to teach Jia Min, so for Jia Lan, who has been fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, seeing that she is honest and obedient, they all know that it is Jia Shishi's meaning, so basically turn a blind eye to it.

Jia Lan didn't care about learning these things or not, but born in this era, these are the talents that a noble girl must know, and Jia Lan doesn't want to be inferior to others. A child, she is still hiding her clumsiness. Although Jia Min is smart, her experience and thinking cannot be compared with her.As the saying goes, if you read [-] Tang poems by heart, you can chant them even if you don’t know how to compose them.But looking at this, the attitude of the aunt may not be very good. I don't see Jia Daishan twice in a month. Zhang can help me in small matters, but there is no way to intervene in such matters. After all, the housekeeper is still in Jia. From his mother, Jia Lan knew that he could only survive if he was inferior to Jia Min in everything and lived a low-key life.
