The Concubine of the Red Chamber

"Thank you, Second Sister." Jia Lan accepted the purse and said with a smile.

Jia Ting sat next to Jia Lan and wanted to ask about Jia Shishi, so he said, "My wife looks not very energetic today, is she feeling uncomfortable?"

"Not in spirit?" Jia Lan looked at Jia Ting curiously. It is true that Jia Shishi was not in good spirits because of Jia Daishan's reprimand during this time, but today is her favorite young son's wedding, and she dressed up very energetically early in the morning, so Is it a little strange for Jia Ting to ask this?

Jia Ting covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Third Sister, don't hide it from me, I already know."

"Second sister, what do you know? What's the matter? I came back from the palace yesterday and I met my wife with everyone this morning." Jia Lan asked curiously with her head down.

Jia Ting looked at Jia Lan as if she was not cheating, and wondered if she really didn't know?But think about it, Jia Lan is basically not in the mansion, and Chen's mother heard that she is out of the mansion, and the news is not so well-informed. She knew from her aunt that the master was annoyed by the wife, and she didn't want to keep any face, so I was overjoyed, and wanted to know what was going on, but my aunt didn't tell her. Now it seems that Jia Lan doesn't know, and Jia Ting doesn't stay with Jia Lan anymore. It's better to contact those military attache wives more to get in touch.

Jia Mo and Jia Ting used to have a low sense of presence in the mansion, but now looking at Jia Mo with a dignified face and Jia Ting with a ostentatious face, but they are both able to communicate with those wives and ladies who come and go, there is no such thing as being in the mansion. Cowardly look.

Where Jia Min is present, Jia Lan doesn't seem to behave too well. Although Jia Shishi has lost power, she is still the wife of the Duke of Rongguo Mansion.Even Mrs. Zhang is still respectful and filial to Mrs. Jia Shi, so Jia Lan will not let her efforts for so many years go to waste.

Jia Zheng is the son of the Duke of Rongguo. Although the wedding was deliberately suppressed by Jia Daishan, and the scale of the wedding was a bit smaller than that of Jia She, the heir, it was still very lively. After welcoming the door and paying homage, Jia Lan followed all the female relatives to look at the Wang family.

Against the backdrop of red makeup, Mrs. Wang is even more stunningly beautiful. It is said that even Jia Zheng was stunned for a long time before going out to toast. Mrs. Wang has a sweet smile. Although she has the shyness of a bride, she is also quite generous. In the midst of everyone's jokes, she called her sister-in-law, and Mrs. Wang agreed resolutely, and even asked them to give them red envelopes.

It was the first time for Jia Lan to see Mrs. Wang. Before that, her impression of Mrs. Wang was always the kind-faced and cruel wooden person described in the book. But when she saw her now, the first impression of Mrs. Wang was actually not bad. In terms of appearance alone, Wang's is even better than Zhang's by a lot.But even so, Jia Lan is still more willing to get close to Zhang.But obviously, Jia Min felt very good about this second sister-in-law. On the way back from the new house, she kept pulling herself to talk about Wang's.

Early the next morning, when Jia Lan was paying her respects, she saw Jia Zheng Wang's face, and seeing Wang's face full of spring, Jia Zheng's face was full of joy, so she knew that Jia Zheng was very satisfied with his wife's appearance. .

Before their marriage, Mrs. Wang had heard that she would get married in the main courtyard of Duke Rongguo's mansion, and she would be the housekeeper.As a result, I found out early this morning that it was not the main courtyard, but a very small courtyard behind the main courtyard. I was a little unhappy, but after all, it was a new daughter-in-law, so I couldn't speak easily, so I only let the girl and mother-in-law quietly inquire.

Although Mrs. Wang is young, she is beautiful and sweet-mouthed. After a few words of greetings, Jia Shishi feels very comfortable. Even Jia Daishan feels good when she sees this daughter-in-law.

"Second brother, I was busy all day yesterday, don't be too tired, go back and have a rest! There will be a long time to come! If there is anything wrong with you, you can go to your sister-in-law, and you can do anything." Jia Shi Mrs. Wang was satisfied that Mrs. Wang waited on her after dinner and said.

Wang's Yang lips chuckled lightly: "My daughter-in-law has only been in the house for a day, but she found that everything is in order, and there is nothing wrong with it. Madam is tired of her daughter-in-law, and thinks I'm panicking around you?"

"How could it be? I like your daughter's family the most. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have hired you for Zheng'er." Jia Shishi said with a smile: "I heard your mother say that you are the worst girl. , the mouth is so sweet, even if I don’t give more things, I will feel bad.” After finishing speaking, Jia Shi asked Yunque to take a box and stuffed it into Wang’s arms.

"That's a good relationship. If my daughter-in-law says a few good things in the future, my wife will give me a bunch of good things. At that time, my sister-in-law and younger sisters can't be jealous! If you want things from your wife, you have to be sweeter!" Mrs. Wang Opening the box with a smile, a pair of mutton fat white jade bangles with a hundred sons wishful pattern made Wang's smile even sweeter.

Jia Shishi covered his stomach and pointed at Wang Shi and said with a smile: "That's a good relationship, but it's just you, I don't have so many good things."

Sitting on the sidelines, Jia Lan could clearly see that the smile on Zhang's face had faded. Obviously, she also thought of Jia Shi's differential treatment when she entered the door that day.

Jia Shishi is not in a good mood recently, Jia Daishan hasn't come near her room these days, and he doesn't even give her face, and slept in the side room last night, but when Wang entered the door, Jia Shishi was in a depressed mood Immediately he got better, and wanted to take the opportunity to say goodbye to Jia Daishan, so that he could save some face for himself.

Jia Zheng was going back to Jinling to take the imperial examination next year, even if he was just married, he couldn't relax, so after paying his respects, he sent Mrs. Wang back to her room and then went to the study.Seeing Jia Zheng's handsome appearance and literary talent, Mrs. Wang was considerate to her, her heart was as sweet as honey, and she became more and more satisfied with this marriage.But then he heard from the dowry maid that the eldest sister-in-law Zhang was in power in the Rongguo mansion, and Jia Shi's previous promises were not fulfilled, and she turned cold.

"Because the second master will take the imperial examination next year, the fourth miss and Madam Liu told Mrs. Guo that if she gets married in the main courtyard, it will damage the future of the second master, so Mrs. Guo hastily tidied up the courtyard." Zi As Wang's confidant girl, Yan quickly reported to Wang after inquiring.

Jia Min?Wang's eyes widened, and she gritted her teeth and waved the needlework that Jia Min and Jia Lan gave her to the ground. She didn't know where she had offended her sister-in-law. Before she got married, her mother taught her to be To make friends with Jia Min, after all, she is the daughter of the Rongguo Mansion, but now... She thinks that she has not forgiven him at all, and even gave her a good set of jewelry in the dowry, but the other party has already shot at her , I suddenly hated it.

"Shall we go find the second sister-in-law to compose poems?" Jia Min didn't know that Wang Shi was already dissatisfied with her, but now he still had a good impression of Wang Shi. close.

Jia Lan paused when she heard the words, the Wang family's upbringing has always been that women are virtuous without talent, is it really good for Jia Min to be like this?Wouldn't it make the other party feel that he was looking for faults... "The Wang family was born as a military general, and the generals in the family have a woman who is incapable of virtue..." Jia Lan couldn't hold back, and reminded her.

Jia Min's eyes widened when she heard the words, and then she looked at Nanny Liu beside her. After Nanny Liu nodded, she felt a little disappointed in her heart, and then frowned, but never mentioned going to Mrs. Wang again.

"..." During dinner, Jia Min seemed to have figured it out, and was still close to Wang Shi, but Jia Lan felt a little strange that when Wang Shi was facing Jia Min, although she was still smiling, she had a demeanor. But a little unnatural.

"I'm going to take part in the township examination in February. Let the second and second sons go back to Jinling after returning home!" At night, after Jia Shishi's begging, Jia Daishan didn't say anything about going to live in Lixiangyuan, but said: "If you come here It's not easy to walk on the road later."

Although Jia Shishi was a little bit reluctant, he couldn't refute, so he paused and said: "Wait for ten days or so! It's better to send someone to clean up the courtyard in advance, but the daughter-in-law of the government will not go, it's just a rural exam, It's not good to toss back and forth, and besides, Zheng'er is going to take an exam, and if he brings his daughter-in-law, it won't look good."

Jia Daishan thought about it, so he nodded and said: "You can figure it out! If you go to Zheng'er early, you can rest more. Not only will the weather be bad, but the road will be difficult to walk later."

"What the master said is true!" Jia Shishi also felt the same reason.

The next day, when Jia Lan was about to enter the palace to bid farewell to Jia Shishi, seeing Jia Shishi being very gentle and kind to Wang, she asked her to stay at home for a while when she returned home. Just come back.

"What does Hu'er learn from Mr. Jia Lan and others?" Jia Shishi didn't care about Jia Lan Zhang's invitation, but because Jia Shishi treated Wang better than herself, she was a little unhappy.Because Jia Hu also had to go to school, Jia Amnesty sent them off together. On the way, sitting in the carriage, Jia Lan looked at Jia Hu who was still yawning, squeezed his face, and fed him a cup of dewy almond dew , asked with a smile.

Jia Hu liked being with Jia Lan very much, and he also liked the sweet and fragrant almond dew very much. After drinking it hurriedly, he smiled and told his aunt what he had learned obediently, and the two of them After a question and an answer, Jia She, who listened to the outside world, couldn't help but raise his lips.

"Why has the decoration in this room changed?" Jia Lan is now very familiar with the life in the palace. After answering the three princesses, she returned to the room and looked at her changed room in surprise, and asked with a frown.The words I wrote and pasted on the wall disappeared, and the two sets of quilts I brought from Jia's house also disappeared, and even some of my useful things disappeared.

Cuiyu lowered her head when she heard the words, Jia Lan felt a block in her heart, and knew that everything might not have gone there. Cuiyu and Mother Shen were sent here together, and they also helped someone cover up before, so whoever did it has already gone. It goes without saying.Jia Lan sighed and didn't want to pursue it anymore, anyway, if she pursued it, there would be no results, so she just smashed the jar and pretended not to know.I just hope that the other party will really keep their promises and stop coming to find me again.
