The Red Chamber is not a dream

[Chapter 140] The hard-working woman only seeks to be perfect in this life. The old sage will do his best in this life

Let's say that Jia Lian and his wife agreed together when they heard Mrs. Xing's words.Sister Feng looked at Mrs. Xing's face and said, "I dare to ask my wife, why doesn't she like such a big happy event?" " On the one hand, he briefly told him what he had just thought, and said: "I think the Lin family only has Lin girl left now, and what's more, I heard from you two that the emperor has never seen the Lin family adopt another son. Even if the Lin family is rehabilitated, it is impossible. There is no one in our family, so we can't take advantage of it anyway; your second sister is married again, and Cong'er is also engaged. How can we rely on the power to fail? ? That’s all I think.”

When Jia Lian and his wife heard this, they extinguished half of the fire in their hearts. Jia Lian then said, "It's still mother's thoughtfulness." Mrs. Xing said with a smile, "I'm the worst one. If something happens, I will It would be good for us to think about it first; but looking back, the niece of the Lin family is really pitiful. She has lost her parents since she was a child, and neither brother is a biological sibling; My aunt never took care of him, which made me feel uneasy. ——Fortunately, his elder brother is a prince, and even he has been blessed, which is also worthy of joy. Anyway, girl Lin is you My aunt and cousin, he has a happy event now, why don't we like him for him?"

Jia Lian felt a little ashamed when he heard his mother's words, and said to himself: "I have read the sage's books in vain all these years, and I am not as far-sighted as my mother, a housewife. When this happened, I only thought about my own interests. What are the benefits, but I never thought about the family relationship at all; I almost got carried away, thinking that there will be a scene of 'chicken and dog ascending to heaven' in the future, aren't you a jerk?" Thinking of this, he looked at Sister Feng and saw Sister Feng's face Some expressions changed, and suddenly thought of a level, I couldn't help being startled, and thought to myself: "Speaking of which, my aunt has passed away for many years. Even if my aunt is still alive, she is also a member of the Lin family. What does she have to do with the Jia family? What's more, the eldest sister of the Lin family and the little prince. I never grew up here, I still live in my own family, the Jia family has never made any contribution; if I just treat myself as a relative of the emperor, I'm afraid I won't know how I died!"

Mrs. Xing had just finished speaking, so she looked carefully at the expressions on the faces of the two of them; seeing Jia Lian and Sister Feng bowed their heads, she knew that the two of them had listened, so she felt relieved and thought to herself, "Lian'er I know his temperament. He can't do great things, but he will think of some stupid ideas that will reach the sky in one step. If he can't figure it out, I'm afraid he will make a big mess in the future. Besides, whether Ruo'er can benefit or not depends on him I will not mention it for the time being." Yin laughed and said: "Let's clean up first, and go to the old lady's side. When you come back, Miss Feng will watch and prepare the gifts for the little prince and niece. We will also go there someday. Look." The two hurriedly agreed, and Sister Feng waited on Madam Xing to change her clothes, taught her to hug the eldest sister, and went to Jiamu's courtyard together.

When they went to Jia Mu's room, they saw that Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others had arrived. After seeing each other, Mrs. Xing congratulated Jia Mu again.Jia Muyin said with a smile: "This is something that we never thought of. It's good to give us a jump." Madam Xing said: "But, this is also the virtue of my sister and brother-in-law; .It’s just that I don’t know much after all. When I first heard about this, I was so frightened that I still haven’t recovered.” Everyone laughed.

Jia Mu smiled at Mrs. Xing and said, "You are too timid. A big happy event happened, and I didn't say I liked it. I was so frightened." Mrs. Xing laughed and said, "Sure enough, the old lady saw you." , but this is my little thought. I thought we used to not know that he was the little prince, and never respected him, but now that the royal family recognizes him, I wonder if he blames me for being an aunt in front of him. "Mother Jia's complexion sank when she heard the words, but she still smiled and said, "That's not true. We saw him in the past, and he was the most polite child, but he was more stable than other children; every time he came to our house, only Respectfully, where are you to blame? Just take it easy." Mrs. Xing smiled when she heard this.Several people talked again, but how to congratulate him, and to choose a day to invite his brother and sister, there is no other word for now.

At that moment, Mrs. Xing left, and went to her courtyard with Jia Lian and his wife.When Mrs. Xing went back to her room and sat down, she thought to herself: "The old lady understands a little bit, but she doesn't know what he thinks. In the past, when I saw the old lady, she wanted to give Lin girl to Baoyu; now It is definitely impossible, and Yue is also a little regretful; God has eyes, and in my opinion, Baoyu and Lin girl are not worthy. However, after hearing this, I feel really uncomfortable, whether it is a blessing or a curse, But it’s hard to say.”

When Mrs. Xing thought of this, she couldn't help but sighed even more, and said to herself: "Sure enough, it's rare for me to have a comfortable day in my life. There is no one in my natal family, so it's fine. I didn't expect them to do anything, so I just don't cling to me; I just watched him. The brothers and sisters are getting bigger, but they can't help me at all; the old ghost is even more needless to mention. If there is something important, which one can make it? We can only open our eyes and wait for death."

But Mrs. Xing thought about it for a while, and her heart was sore. She shed a few tears of pain with all her strength, and then she made up her mind and thought: "I often hear people say: 'If you do your best, you will know the destiny'. I am already No matter what I do, I can't do anything. It's just that although I was thinking about my future life in the past, I never harmed a single person; I often repair bridges and repair roads on weekdays, and I also pray to the Buddha for some time a year; Although those children are not my own, I have also planned for them. If God has eyes, at least teach me to live this life in peace; but I don’t wish for any great wealth.” Thinking like this for a long time, I don’t know how long , just fell asleep dimly.

For the time being, Jia's mansion will not be shown, and let's talk about the situation of the third prince.The eyes and ears sent to the capital a few days ago have sent back news of the personnel affairs in the capital. The third prince read the secret report himself, and smiled to the two underground people: "In the past, I only hated the Jia family's lack of talent and virtue. I don't want to Today he still has some uses." As he spoke, he thought for a while, and said: "I remember that his family has a daughter in the palace? His family used to have no males of use, so they used to use these things. way."

The two looked at each other when they heard the words, and they also understood what the third prince was thinking; one of them said: "The prince is clear. The eldest girl of his family used to serve in front of the empress, but a few days ago, she has been released by En Zhun today." I'm gone to the palace." The third prince sneered after hearing this and said: "Forget it. Anyway, his family is not so lucky, and it will save a lot of trouble in the future. Could it be that if I don't accept his daughter, he dares to go against my will?" Spread out the pen and paper, wrote a handwriting by myself, slowly dried the ink, handed it to the two people to read, then took it up and burned it on the lamp, and said with a smile: "Let's go like this." Come out after saluting, and arrange it yourself, it's no problem.

On the other hand, look at the affairs in the palace.Today, he was reclining on the small couch in the hall, flipping through the secret report a few times, and then signaled to Dai Gong.Dai Gong understood, and moved the brazier closer, lifted the cover, cleaned up the papers on the table, and put them in one by one.While it was burning, I heard Jinshang sighed, and said with a low laugh: "Back then, Ningrong and Rong were loyal ministers and good generals after all, who expects that their descendants will not be good now; if the third son ascends the throne, I am afraid that Jia's family will also be doomed. However, his family has something to do with Zhen'er, and if Zhen'er comes to the throne, he won't kill his family, but he won't teach them to be as proud as before, so that's good."

Dai Gong heard the words, but as if he had never heard of them, he still lowered his head and burned the secret documents there.I didn't care about it today, thought for a while, and smiled: "The third child is a good idea. There are foolish people in Jia's family; but not all of them are foolish. I thought that now that I am old, all these things Let's write it off; who knows, it is expected to be immortal." Seeing that Dai Gong had burned the writing paper, he beckoned him to come up and said, "You have been tired all these years. I have left a way out for you. After I pass away, I will find a place to retire."

Hearing this, Dai Gong hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty killed the old slave. The old slave is serving His Majesty now, and in the future he will naturally serve the little prince as he serves His Majesty today. How dare he go elsewhere?" Jinshang laughed and said, "You follow me too. It’s been so many years, can’t you even see through this? He’s still young, so naturally he can’t lack someone to serve him. I see your disciple Xiaoliu is very good; I used to serve him back then, and I’m by his side these days, see Be diligent too."

These words are clearly beating Dai Gong; Dai Gong has been in the palace for many years, how can he not know what he wants?It was nothing more than fear that his deep foundation in the palace would be disadvantageous to Jinyu.It's just that he was still his chief eunuch with the intention of serving another generation of emperors; when he heard this today, he suddenly woke up and realized that he had already walked through the gate of hell. It may not be that I have never had the intention to kill me. But after all, the friendship for many years is still there, and since I have said this, I think my life can be saved." Yin kowtowed: "Old servant, thank you for your grace."

Seeing him like this today, he smiled and said, "That's good." He ordered him to come closer and whispered something in his ear; "Is it really different from the little prince?" Jinshang said with a smile: "He didn't grow up in the palace, he has a pure heart, and he is very affectionate. If you tell him now, you will definitely not do what I do. "Dai Gong bowed again and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. However, I'm afraid that the old slave will tell the little prince about this in the future, and teach the little prince to be ashamed and regretful, so that he will be reborn. How can it be better?"

Standing up today, he said with a smile, "If he really does, he's not worthy of being an emperor. My own son, don't you know that?" Dai Gong heard this, and knew that today's decision had been made, but Wei Wei agreed and went. The waiter takes off his clothes and lies down today, and has nothing else to say.

The author has something to say: How should I put it...Jia Lian may not be a good material to be an official...I really wanted to make progress before, but I still couldn't do it well. Mrs. Xing had no choice but to give up this hapless child. Just beg him not to cause trouble, and turn to Jia Ruo to fight for face.I feel that it's really not easy for the eldest wife. The children can't help me much, even the son and the daughter are not good, so it's not as good as the daughter-in-law... Sigh.Full of helplessness.

It's not easy for the emperor... The matter was actually concealed, and Fourth Master finally figured out the truth.How should I put it, pity the parents of the world.

Speed ​​up.
