The Rebirth of Jia Min in the Red Chamber

The previous and present lives are very different, and Jia Min didn't think that it would really happen, but just mentioned a word just in case, after all, in this life, Qin Keqing is the emperor's illegitimate daughter, and is no longer the illegitimate daughter of the disgraced prince in her previous life. give birth to a daughter.But Jia Min didn't expect that Jia Zhen would be so bold, this is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

In a blink of an eye, it was Jia Mu’s birthday. Since it was not a full day, I didn’t want to make a big deal. It’s just that the older Jia Mu is, the more she likes to talk about ostentation, and the second is that Jia Amnesty also wants to use this to get rid of the bad luck of the previous period, so it will only be held for six days. Banquet, on the 29th, a feast for the family of the noble family, and on the [-]th, a banquet for relatives and friends. The first, second, third, and fourth grades are just family banquets.

Jia Min took Daiyu 28 to the Rongguo Mansion to see if the various matters were handled properly.

Jia Min went there with Daiyu after breakfast, and after talking with Jia's mother for a while, he and Mrs. Xing went to the banquet place to have a look.

Daiyu also got up, and Jia Mu said, "Let Yu'er stay with me and talk, and follow you to what to do, it's so noisy outside."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I also want to stay in front of my grandmother to talk, but I heard that my second sister-in-law is having a wedding. I am young, so I should go to congratulate her. I will accompany my grandmother later."

Only then did Jia's mother agree and said, "You still know how to be polite."

Jia Min took Daiyu and Mrs. Xing took Yingchun and left Jia's mother's house, first went to Wang Xifeng's residence.

"Feng girl went to talk to me a few days ago. After counting the days, she was just conceived at that time, and it was the time when the fetal image was unstable. Looking back now, I feel a little scared." Seeing Daiyu and Yingchun lagging behind, Jia Min said, Only then whispered to Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing smiled all over her face: "I was also taken aback at the time. I invited the doctor overnight and said that I am in good health and there is no serious problem. I don't even need to take anti-fetal drugs. Just pay attention to food supplements every day."

Jia Min was also happy when she heard this, and said to Mrs. Xing with emotion: "When Lian'er first got engaged, I never thought that she would live a life as happy as it is today."

"She is smart and good at understanding current affairs, but it's a pity that she doesn't read much and knows few things. She can only play tricks and easily go astray." Mrs. Xing commented on Wang Xifeng, "However, she is also willing to obey, so I took the trouble to give her some advice."

"She also lived up to her expectations and lived up to your painstaking efforts." Jia Min added.

Mrs. Xing nodded: "Now, we are united in this house, and there is nothing wrong with it. We are just waiting to marry girl Ying and get a firm foothold. I have nothing to worry about."

Jia Min chuckled: "Still thinking about peace of mind? In the future, grandchildren and grandchildren will not let you take care of them."

"I'm not stupid or deaf, and I don't want to be a family member. Then I won't care so much." Mrs. Xing looked at a corner of the house from afar and said, "It may not be beneficial to meddle too much."

Jia Min followed Mrs. Xing's gaze and calculated the direction. She was probably in charge of Mrs. Wang's Buddhist hall. She knew in her heart that Mrs. Xing was probably referring to the place between Jia's mother and the second bedroom.Mother Jia intervened in everything, but she was unfair in dealing with things. The eldest room complained, and the second room did not know how to be grateful.

Now, Mrs. Jia is protecting Mrs. Wang's seat, but Mrs. Wang and the second room may not be grateful for Mrs. Jia's kindness.

Mrs. Xing and Jia Min both understand these words, but they don't want to talk about them, just point them out.

Jia Min asked: "How is the dowry prepared for welcoming the girl? If there is not enough, if you don't take advantage of it, tell me, I am also preparing something for Xixi now, and let the servants buy it."

"Thank you for your kindness. I have also started saving things since I was a child, and I have already had enough. As an aunt, you want to do your best. Why don't you give more gold, silver and jade to Ying girl. When the dowry is spread, Ying girl will have a lot of money on her face." Light, you have light too." Mrs. Xing laughed and joked.

"Okay, when the time comes, the gold and silverware will be shining." Jia Min responded with a smile.

"That's all I'm saying, don't really give it to me. You also know that the husband's family is a scholar. If it's gold, silver, etc., we only know the benefits, and they might think it's tacky." Mrs. Xing said.

Jia Min liked talking to Mrs. Xing, "Since this is the case, don't be polite to me, sister-in-law. I'll send you some rare copies of calligraphy and painting some other day."

"I plan to send less from the shop, more from the farm, and more silver in boxes. I don't plan to use cash to exchange the silver for bank notes. Although it is somewhat depleted, it is not eye-catching." Mrs. Xing explained.

Mrs. Xing continued: "Scholars have more rules, but poetry and book heirs are also more clean and orderly."

At the beginning, Mrs. Xing chose this family because she thought that their family would be less populated and more clean. Yingchun has a docile personality, doesn't fight for power and profit, and is well-educated, so she is suitable for the second son-in-law.

"In a blink of an eye, it's time for the child to get married." Jia Min sighed, she turned her head to look at Daiyu, Daiyu seemed to be aware of it, raised her eyes and smiled at Jia Min, her smile was like a flower, Jia Min felt sore in her heart when she looked at her. Want to cry.

Jia Min quickly turned her head around, Madam Xing didn't realize she was nagging: "Before you marry, you have to choose a good family, but after you get married, you are worried that she will be at odds with her husband's family, that you will be wronged, and your heart will be broken. As soon as I want to welcome the girl, I don't want to embarrass the girl Feng, she is also a girl in the palm of other people's family, and she will come to my house to be a daughter-in-law."

"You are comparing your heart with your heart. Every girl in the world would like a mother-in-law like you." Jia Min boasted.

Mrs. Xing shook her head: "No way, I have a strong temper. If Feng girl is willing to flatter me and listen to me, we will get along well. If she is strong and lonely, there may be conflicts."

"I figured it out. First I praised you for being reasonable, and then I praised Feng girl for being obedient and filial." Jia Min joked, "A good mother-in-law and a good daughter-in-law are all in your house."

Mrs. Xing laughed: "I'm honest, my sister doesn't have to be greedy. After a few years, you will become a mother-in-law, too."

"Sister-in-law Cheng has said auspicious words."

The group arrived at Wang Xifeng's yard. Wang Xifeng had already received the news and stood at the door to greet him. When he saw Jia Min, he walked forward with a smile on his face: "Why is Auntie coming over here?"

"Look at you and feel more at ease."

"This is not the first time I have experienced this, and it's nothing serious. My aunt is not an outsider. I'm just telling the truth. It's my wife who loves me. She doesn't want me to get up early and work hard. Let me rest in the yard." Wang Xifeng said with a smile. She has to get up early to go to Jiamu's place to say hello. Jiamu pays attention to ostentation, so she has to let her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law serve her for breakfast.

Mrs. Xing told Jia's mother that Wang Xifeng's fetus was unstable and had to rest in the courtyard.Only then did Jia Mu exempt Wang Xifeng from paying her respects.

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "It's just that my wife is tired, and I have to go to the old lady every day to fulfill my filial piety." Wang Xifeng said very euphemistically.

Jia Min smiled and shook her head: "You."

Wang Xifeng took the tea from the girl and handed it to Jia Min herself.

She was about to hand it to Daiyu again, but Jia Min hurriedly stopped her and said, "Sit down and rest, she is a child."

Daiyu hurriedly got up to take the teacup, Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "Your sister is a lot more outstanding."

Daiyu has already started to pull out, she used to be a bit childish, but now she only has the tranquility and elegance of a girl, with affectionate eyes, and she will become more beautiful and refined in a few years.

Sometimes Wang Xifeng would have doubts in his heart, just because of Daiyu's appearance, it would be difficult for most women in the future to be in the eyes of Daiyu's future husband.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, my sister-in-law's words are as sweet as ever, as if she has been rubbed with honey." Daiyu also joked.

"Since your aunt and sister-in-law are intimate, Daiyu will stay with you first, and your aunt and I will go and see how the banquet place is being cleaned up." Mrs. Xing said.

"Sister Ying stay here too." Wang Xifeng said.

Mrs. Xing shook her head and said: "She will go with me to see, she is going to learn how to be a housekeeper." Madam Xing thought that Wang Xifeng was pregnant and it would be inconvenient for the housekeeper, so she asked Yingchun to learn together.

Wang Xifeng immediately understood, and said: "It's good to be with my wife, welcome my younger sister to be smart, and if I can learn from my wife, I don't have anything to worry about in the future."

Originally, Jia Zhen from Ningguo Mansion came to say that she was inviting officials and guests at Ningguo Mansion and guests at Rongguo Mansion, but Mrs. Xing refused.A joke, it was Mother Jia's birthday, and the Rongguo Mansion spent money and efforts to entertain the guests, and the guests came for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion's face, how could they go to the Ningguo Mansion?You know, the ancestors of the two families are brothers, and they have to have the surname Jia, but they are two families after all!

Mrs. Xing reviewed various affairs with Jia Min, while explaining to Yingchun, such as how to draw up the menu, how to dispatch servants, how to arrange seats, how to hang lanterns and festoons...

Although Yingchun didn't talk much, she understood it in her heart, and she remembered everything in her heart. She had learned to prepare banquets with Mrs. Xing a long time ago, and she reviewed it again today.

Jia Min said: "In a few days, why not hold a banquet at your house and let the girl practice her skills, so as to save me talking on paper."

Yingchun hurriedly said: "I'm afraid it won't work, Auntie."

Jia Min said: "What are you afraid of? When the time comes, invite your relatives. If you have any shortcomings, they will not laugh at you. Even if there are any shortcomings, it's okay. It's the first time. Just remember not to do it again in the future."

Mrs. Xing nodded: "That's right, you won't learn much if you follow me all the time. I really need to let her hold a banquet alone."

It's a deal.

"Don't be afraid, girl Ying, there is still a period of time. You watch, think and practice more these days, and then it will come naturally." Jia Min knew that Yingchun was timid, so she said a few words of comfort.

Yingchun nodded yes.

The three of them were busy until noon, and Jia Min naturally went to where Jia's mother had dinner, and sent someone to call Daiyu, but Wang Xifeng sent someone to say that it was her son, Brother Mao, who was reluctant to part with his cousin and wanted to have dinner with her cousin, Wang Xifeng Daiyu was left behind.

Jia Min went to Jia Mu's side with Mrs. Xing and Yingchun.

Jia Baoyu also finished school, snuggled up to Mother Jia, saw Jia Min and others, stood up quickly and said: "If I know that Aunt and Sister Lin are coming today, I won't go to school."

He leaned over and glanced behind Jia Min, and said, "Auntie, why didn't Sister Lin come over?"

Jia Min smiled lightly: "Study can't be abandoned for a day, Baoyu shouldn't just stop going to school."

He then explained to Jia Mu: "Brother Mao and Xixi made a pact, and if he hugged Xixi and did not let go, Xixi will stay with Feng girl for lunch."

Jia Baoyu heard this, and hurriedly said, "I'll also go to have lunch with Sister Feng and Sister Lin."

"I finally came here, so Baoyu doesn't want to accompany my aunt?" Jia Min said, "Besides, your second sister-in-law is going to rest. You used to be noisy and disturbed her too badly."

A few words stopped Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu had to accompany Jia Mu, Jia Min and others to have lunch, and Li Wan came with Tanchun, and it became lively for a while.

Daiyu over there had lunch at Wang Xifeng's and took a nap before going to Jiamu's. Jia Baoyu had already gone on to school.

Only the female relatives speak together.

When Jia Mu saw Daiyu, she hurriedly pulled her to her side, and said, "Let Yu'er live with me today, and we, grandparents and grandchildren, have a good talk. Anyway, you will come over tomorrow."

"This is impossible," Jia Min said, "If mother wants someone to talk to, why not let me stay, Xixi has to go back to the mansion, and Prince Yu and Princess Yu have to go with Xixi every day. For dinner, Erze Palace's nuns are here, so it's inconvenient for Xixi to spend the night outside."

Jia's mother also understood, and was a little displeased: "Okay, just go back with you, and you go back too, and you can't do without you for everything in your family."

Jia Min didn't care much about Jia's mother's displeasure, and turned around to ask about Tanchun. Tanchun was only a little younger than Daiyu, and he didn't even start to see each other. call the shots.

Jia Min wanted to take this opportunity to see what kind of child Tanchun was, and he would know what kind of child Tanchun was in the future.Regardless of the adults, the children are Jia Min's nieces, so as long as Tanchun is good, Jia Min will not care.

After some school examinations, Jia Min felt that Tanchun didn't look like a concubine, and that Tanchun and Yingchun, Lan Qiuhua, and Tanchun were not bad in everything, but the disadvantage was in their birth.

After talking about the conversation, Jia Min took Daiyu to leave.

Mrs. Xing did not stay in vain, after all, she will come over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

On the way back, Daiyu said: "Mother, let the servants take a detour to Hongbaozhai. It's rare to come out and bring some snacks back. Grandparents like the emerald jade bean cakes inside, father likes golden cake rolls, and little brother likes them." Huazhan longan from home, and buy some water chestnut cakes for Xiaoxu."

"Okay, it's hard for you to understand."

There were quite a lot of people on the street, Jia Min and Daiyu were walking slowly in the carriage, when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes in front, the driver immediately pulled over the carriage and stopped for a while.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching from far away, Jia Min glanced along the gap in the curtain. The two inner eunuchs were leading the way, followed by four guards in brocade clothes, heading straight for the west gate.The west is the direction to the palace.

"Riding horses is strictly prohibited in Beijing, but what's the matter?" Daiyu asked from the side.

Jia Min shook her head: "I don't know for now, let's go back first."

Princess Yu was very happy to see them coming back early, and said: "Going out for a while, and thinking about bringing us some snacks, she is much more careful than Yi'er."

Tu Yi was also at Princess Yu's place, as if the two of them had just finished talking, Daiyu said with a smile: "My little brother heard this, I'm afraid I'm going to be jealous, my little brother also brought a lot of things in the past." Tu Yi made an excuse.

"Little brother, come back earlier today." Daiyu asked.

"There is nothing to do in the yamen today, so I came back earlier." Tu Yi replied, "I thought Second Aunt and Xixi would come back later, so I came to accompany my grandmother for a while."

"We still have to go tomorrow." Jia Min explained, "Come back early today to rest."

"Then I'll go over and take a look at Xiaoxu's homework." Tu Yi stood up.

Princess Yu nodded, Tu Yi was very caring for his cousin Tu Xu, if he had time, he would definitely check Tu Xu's homework.

Not long after Tu Yi went out, he heard Daiyu shout: "Little brother."

Tu Yi stopped in his tracks, seeing Dai Yu hurriedly coming out of Princess Yu's room, seeing the beads on Dai Yu's hairpin bumping into each other and tinkling because of her hurried steps, he hurriedly said, "What's the matter? , and chase it out, just let the girl come over and say something."

Daiyu took out a handkerchief and wiped her forehead, and said, "I also bought some water chestnut cakes for Xiaoxu, which he hasn't eaten these days, so I'm afraid he's thinking about it, little brother, please bring them in for me, but remember, Don't let him eat too much."

"Okay, I see." Tu Yi said softly.

"If he doesn't do well in his homework and plays tricks, little brother, don't show mercy." Daiyu said, walking slowly side by side with Tuxu, "Teach him with my share of lessons." When Tuxu hadn't entered the palace to study , I studied with Daiyu, thinking of that time, Daiyu has a headache, and I don't know how Tuxu came up with so many reasons not to read and write well.

"Okay, I will not soften my heart." Tu Yi promised.

"Don't... be too strict." Daiyu hesitated, but her heart softened again.

Tu Yi burst out laughing, "Xixi is making things difficult for me again."

"Little brother." Daiyu became angry from embarrassment.

Tu Yi held back his laughter, patted Daiyu's head, and said, "I'm sensible, I know Xiaoxu is not like me, nor like you." Neither is Tu Yi who studies for Prince Yu's mansion and responsibility, It's not like Daiyu who reads because of her interest.

"Xiaoxu listens to my little brother the most." Daiyu said with some injustice, "He obviously grew up with me."

"Are you jealous?" Tu Yi asked.

"That's not it." Daiyu said, "It's just a little lost." Lost Yu Tuyi grew up slowly, and naturally approached the elder brother who convinced him even more.

But Daiyu is not a person who cares about these things, she told Tu Yi again and again: "You really have to look at Xiaoxu, he ate up his snacks in one go before, and he couldn't eat dinner, let his father know, and he was taught a lesson again. Fan." Tu Hai taught Tu Xu that he had no self-control and could not resist the temptation smoothly.

"Don't worry, Xiao Xu has learned a lot these days and has grown up a lot," Tu Yi said.

But the facts have proved that Tu Xu is a lot more sensible and has improved a lot in his homework, but his greed has not changed a bit. After talking with Tu Yi, he went down for half a plate of snacks. It's like not eating for a few days."

Tu Xu looked helplessly at the plate that was taken away, and said pitifully, "Brother, I'm hungry..."

Tu Yi flicked Tu Xu's forehead: "Dinner is coming soon, isn't half a plate of snacks enough for you?"

Tu Xu lay on the table: "Father said that I probably starved to death in my previous life, so I can't eat enough in this life?"

"Then you plan to eat as round as the son of Uncle Xiang's family in the future?" Tu Yi said coolly, "Your sister likes beautiful things, if you lift your restraint, you will go to see your sister with your round belly , I’m afraid that your sister will find it unsightly.”

"Sister is that kind of person." Tu Xu retorted, but then remembered the appearance of Xiangjun Wang's youngest son, and shuddered.

"Then, sister married the prince's brother because the prince's brother is good-looking?" Tu Xu said.

Tu Yi tea almost didn't spit out, "How old are you, why are you still talking like this?"

Tu Xu said sullenly: "The elder brother of the prince has no other advantages besides being better-looking. It is worth letting my sister marry him."

"You think he's not good?" Tu Yi asked.

"No, it's just that I don't think my sister will be happy if she marries him. There are so many rules in the palace, and my sister likes to be free and unrestrained. She likes to read travel notes, and she must also want to go around and have a look. But if she marries into the palace If you go there, you can only stay in that place for the rest of your life." Said that Tu Xu didn't understand, but he was right.

Tu Yi was silent, this was the first time the two brothers discussed Daiyu's marriage.
