The Rebirth of Jia Min in the Red Chamber

The next day, it was Jia's mansion that hosted a banquet for relatives and friends.

When Jia Min arrived, Mother Jia's place was full of people. Wang Ziteng's wife Li Shi, Mrs. Wang Shi Nai, Mrs. Baoling Hou, and Mrs. Xu Shi Ding, Mrs. Zhongjinghou, sat beside Jia Mu.The female relatives of other clans sat a little farther away.

Seeing Jia Min coming in, Mrs. Li stood up and greeted her with a smile, "The princess is here."

"Sister Li is out, today is my mother's birthday, don't mention the princess of the county, it's strange, I'm just the aunt of the Jia family." Jia Min said with a smile, holding Li's hand.

"Congratulations to Sister Li's family." Li's seat was given to Jia Min, and she sat down. As soon as she was seated, Jia Min congratulated her.

Li's face was full of joy, "It's the emperor's grace and grace." Wang Ziteng was promoted two days ago, and was promoted to the first-rank admiral of the nine gates. This person is related to the defense of the capital and must be trusted by the emperor.Wang Ziteng's promotion also means that he has the emperor's trust, which makes the royal family more happy than the promotion itself.

Although Jia Min wondered why Wang Ziteng became an official for no reason, and it was at such a critical point, he still said on the face: "That's because Mr. Wang is willing to do things, and he did a good job. It's also Sister Li, who is helping you as a virtuous wife." good."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I dare not take it seriously."

Jia Min smiled at Wang again and said, "I heard that the girl from the Ma family is very outstanding. My cousin is really good." Wang's eldest son just got engaged to the girl who governs the country.

The Wang family is the sister of Wang Ziteng, and she is also familiar with the Li family, "Our two families are good friends, and we know each other well. In the early years, I thought that the girl was good, so I was afraid of missing it, so I made a decision early. "

"Cousin-in-law still has a daughter?" Jia Min asked.

"Yes, one year younger than his brother, and a few months younger than Xiangyun," Wang said.

"It's time to see him." Li Shi answered.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia's mother indistinctly, and said, "She's the youngest, it's still early."

Mrs. Li smiled and said nothing, knowing what Mrs. Wang meant very well in her heart. Mrs. Wang's own daughter was suppressed by Shi Xiangyun, and Shi Xiangyun's life in Jia's mansion was longer than that in Baolinghou's mansion, so he did not avoid suspicion.Wang thought that Mother Jia wanted Shi Xiangyun to be her grandson's daughter-in-law, but in the past few years, while letting Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu play together, she never let go.

Wang's heart became anxious. If she ignored Shi Xiangyun's meaning and showed her good family, in case Shi Xiangyun didn't want to make a scene at that time, and his relatives became enemies, others would say that Bao Linghou picked up the eldest brother's title, but He didn't treat his orphans well.

But if Shi Xiangyun was allowed to stay in Jia's house, Jia's mother would not talk about it. This year, Jia Baoyu is a man who is not afraid of being delayed, but Shi Xiangyun will be delayed.If Shi Xiangyun's rules are loose and some scandal occurs, the reputation of the Shi family girl will be affected.The Xu family only had a concubine daughter and didn't worry too much, but the Wang family was a real daughter, so she was very worried.

As time went by, I also had complaints in my heart, and some points came out when I spoke.

As soon as the words came out, Wang regretted a bit. She was not afraid of offending Jia's mother, but she was afraid of Jia Min's displeasure.

Who knows, but Jia Min said: "Although she is young, she is still a girl's family after all, and she has to start to look at each other. This way, when the elder sister above is settled, this younger sister will not be in a hurry when it comes to marriage."

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang looked at each other, Jia Min was... a bit disrespectful to Mrs. Jia, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Mrs. Xing said: "The girls are not here, it's more fun for us women and other people to get together and talk about the marriage."

"We can learn a little bit while listening, so we won't be in a hurry later." Xu continued.

"Your child is so young, you're already worried about this." Mother Jia then joked, and the people in the hall laughed, and the atmosphere eased up.

"However," Jia Mu said meaningfully, "you can't be anxious about the things in your life, you have to take your time." She took a cup of tea casually.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang became angry again, but after all, Mother Jia was an elder and it was her birthday, so she couldn't talk back.

Jia Min said slowly, "That's right, if you've got your eye on it, you'll be able to do it when you can. This way you won't delay the child, or you'll waste time, and it will be too late after the flowering period."

Jia's mother's complexion was a little ugly.

Mrs. Li hurriedly smoothed things over, "Your tea here is really good."

Mother Jia didn't want to get angry with Jia Min either, she pointed to the person who was serving her and said, "This girl is the one who respects me, I tasted good food, so I brought it out to entertain guests."

Everyone looked over, she was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman, with a gorgeous and charming appearance, and a graceful figure, but her demeanor was graceful and not frivolous.

At the beginning, she served by Jia Mu's side, and when Jia Mu talked about her, everyone looked at her again, and she was not shy.

She smiled and replied: "It was a gift from my natal family. It is said that the tea is produced in the deep mountains in the south. It grows on the cliffs and is not easy to pick, and the output is very small. Therefore, it is not well-known in Beijing, but it is sought after by the locals. I tasted it. If the taste is good, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha. If ladies think it is good, I still have some."

Mrs. Li praised: "What a standard daughter-in-law, why is the old lady hiding it and not letting us see it?"

"It's Brother Rong's daughter-in-law Qin from Ningguo Mansion. She is shy and doesn't come out to meet people. This time her mother-in-law dragged her here." Jia Mu said.

Jia Min understood that this was Qin Keqing. Although Qin Keqing married into the Ningguo Mansion for a long time, Jia Min had such close contact with Qin Keqing. When we met in the past, he just followed her mother-in-law Youshi to say hello. It is low-key and reticent.

But when I saw her today, she was also very thoughtful, no wonder Mother Jia praised her so much.When Jia Min was about to leave, when Qin Keqing sent someone to deliver another can of tea, Jia Min had a higher opinion of Qin Keqing in his heart.Famous teas are available in every household, but rare specialty teas are not available in every household.Everyone casually said that she still wanted to prepare a copy.

Mrs. Li said: "Such a good daughter-in-law, the old lady didn't let us meet earlier, she was hiding her, is she afraid of being frightened by us?"

"Ma'am, you are joking. I am timid. I was born in a small family. I have been married for a while, and I have been taught by my elders, so I dare to come out to meet people." Qin Keqing said in a soft voice.

"This is the first time I see you, take this bracelet." Li took off the bracelet on her wrist, Qin Keqing hurriedly said: "This is the first time I see Madam, let Madam spend the money."

Li Shi said: "You young girls look good in it, and it complements you well." Then he took Qin Keqing's hand and put it on for her.

Mrs. Li took a closer look, the green and transparent bracelet made Qin Keqing's wrist more white and delicate.

Mrs. Li gave gifts, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xu saw Qin Keqing for the first time, and they also gave gifts.

After talking for a while, Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng took care of the banquet and other matters together.Wang Xifeng also has a good impression of Qin Keqing.

Mrs. Li looked at Qin Keqing's back, smiled and said to Jia's mother: "Your family has good Fengshui, and the people you raise are all outstanding."

She looked at Jia Min and said implicitly: "Not everyone has the blessing of the princess of the county." Jia's mother was still a little angry with Jia Min in her heart, but after hearing Li Shi's words, her anger subsided a little. It's also because my daughter has confidence now, so she can say whatever she wants.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Min, her eyes were full of kindness, "My daughter is blessed, and the children I teach are all good children."

Jia Min smiled and said, "Mom, thanks to the fact that we are all relatives today, I don't laugh at you for praising your own children so much."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I'm an old woman, so I naturally like to boast about myself."

The atmosphere became harmonious.

Jia Min told the girl next to her: "Go back and see what the eldest girl is doing. All relatives are here today, let her come and see her."

The girl went in response.

Not long after, Daiyu came over, with a smile on her face, she greeted Mrs. Li and the others politely.

Li Shi only felt her eyes light up, and her eyes were involuntarily attracted to her. She hurriedly took Daiyu's hand and praised: "It's no wonder that she is the daughter of the princess of the county. At a young age, she has the same demeanor as the princess of the county." Li Shi also felt that Daiyu was the most outstanding among the girls she had ever seen in the halo of the girl and the future princess.This is still young, if it takes a few years to reach the flowering period, I don't know what kind of demeanor it will be.

Mrs. Li pulled Daiyu to ask a few more questions, she knew in her heart that although Jia Min asked Daiyu to meet some elders, she would not know how to use her elder status to talk to Daiyu, and her words were very polite.

Daiyu was also used to the changes in people's attitudes towards her, and her expressions and attitudes were not arrogant, just as polite as before.

Jia Min took a look at the exquisite fragrant hydrangea that Mrs. Li gave Daiyu, and joked: "Sister Li has spent a lot of money today."

"I'm afraid I won't be worthy of Ling Ai." Li Shi said.

Not long after, the banquet began, and Jia Min ordered Daiyu to be sent back to the backyard, so that Daiyu could be with Yingchun and other sisters of the same generation.

After the banquet was over, I watched the opera for a while. The little opera was bought by the Jia family from the south, a dozen or so little girls in their teens.

Mrs. Wang likes to listen to operas, and couldn't help but praise: "Looking at her young age, she can sing really well."

Jia's mother said: "Although I bought it for fun, I have people teach it well. When I am bored, I let them sing it. The empresses in the palace also like to listen to it, and they are often called into the palace."

Jia Min doesn't like listening to operas, and she still has Qin Keqing's incident in her heart, she glanced at the actors on stage, but didn't take it to heart, but she didn't expect these little actors to cause a storm.

After the banquet was over, Jia Min asked Qin Keqing again. Wang Xifeng and Jia Min said: "She has a good life, a good temper, gentle and gentle, not impatient, careful, and everything is done properly. I can't think of anything." , she just looked at it and reminded me, let alone being strong by pinching it."

Jia Min felt a little strange in her heart, and said to Wang Xifeng, "It's so appropriate to come from a small family."

"Isn't that right? This is unexpected. When her mother-in-law was in charge of the house, the house was in such a mess, but now she is in charge of the house and it's in perfect order." Wang Xifeng said.

After Madam Xing heard it, she asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"It used to be silent, but today it suddenly became a blockbuster. I feel a little...unexpected." Jia Min said.

Although Mrs. Xing didn't think that Qin Keqing could cause any disturbances, since Jia Min said it, she said to Wang Xifeng, "You have always been on good terms with her, so let the maids come over to give you something or say hello."

Wang Xifeng understood it in her heart, and quickly agreed.

"Don't do it too often." Mrs. Xing instructed again.

"Don't worry, Ma'am, I know it well." Wang Xifeng replied.

After hearing this, Jia Min chuckled, "Your daughter-in-law is capable."

Wang Xifeng joked with a smile: "If my aunt praises me again, I'll burn to pieces."

While talking, Xiaohong, the girl next to Wang Xifeng, came over and said that she had something to report, Wang Xifeng said: "Whatever it is, just say it."

"Mrs. Xue wants Second Grandma to build a bridge with you. She wants to ask the princess of the county for something."

Jia Min said, "Want to see me?"

"Let her come here." After all, she is Wang Xifeng's aunt and Wang Ziteng's sister.

"It's better to let Feng girl meet her first." Mrs. Xing suggested.

Jia Min said, "It's okay."

When Mrs. Xue came over, not only Jia Min, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng were very surprised. Although Mrs. Xue was a concubine and married into the Xue family, the Xue family was rich, and Mrs. Xue was also well-maintained. Women are no different, but today, they are much older.

Xue Wang's face was full of sadness. Seeing Jia Min, she squeezed out a smile: "The princess is well."

Jia Min asked the girl to support her, "Mrs. Xue, sit down."

Wang Xifeng said: "Little aunt gave me a fright today. I have asked my aunt for something, and the rest can't handle it."

Xue Wangshi did not answer Wang Xifeng, but said to Jia Min: "Today I have the cheek to come here, and I want to ask the princess of the county to help find out about my daughter's situation."

Jia Min was taken aback for a moment before remembering that Xue Baochai, the daughter of Wang Xue, had entered the palace as a female official.

Xue Wang said while wiping her tears: "It turns out that every month, a little eunuch would send a letter to her to report her safety, but it has been more than half a year and there has been no news of her. We even spent money and couldn't find out about her. It was only a few days before I found out that the little eunuch who helped her spread the news was beaten to death earlier. I was afraid that my daughter would also... so I want to ask the princess of the county to help me find out if my daughter is still alive."

Jia Min sighed and said: "They are all mothers, and they are all worried about their children, but I am a married woman after all. I can't inquire about the news in the deep palace, and I can't inquire about it. Otherwise, I will spy on the palace, which is a serious crime. Xue Madame, why don't you ask Concubine Xiande, after all, she is a concubine, she is in the palace, so she has better news."

Xue Wang wiped away tears with a handkerchief and said: "Concubine Xiande didn't find out either."

Jia Min lowered her eyes, whether she didn't find out, or she didn't dare to say, after all, Xue Baochai returned to the queen's palace because she violated the crown prince's taboo.

Jia Min said: "The empress is a person with strict rules. As long as the rules are good, nothing will happen. Perhaps the empress has rectified the palace and strictly forbids the ladies in the palace to pass on news and give and receive privately. Therefore, no news can be passed on."

After hearing Jia Min's words, Xue Wang's complexion suddenly turned pale. According to Jia Min's words, Xue Baochai violated the palace rules in sending the news.

Although Jia Min didn't like Xue Baochai, she didn't want to vent her anger on others, she said: "After all, the Xue family is the family of the Imperial Merchant, if it's really bad, I will take the Xue family's face and transport the corpse. "

After hearing these words, Mrs. Xue felt as if the old tree suddenly came alive, and kept murmuring: "So, Baochai is still alive."

"I think I'm alive if I'm alive, but I'm afraid it won't be as good as it used to be." Jia Min nodded again.

"It's good to be alive, and I will be able to return home at the age of 30 in peace." Xue Wang was very grateful. At this time, she had already run away from the idea of ​​letting Xue Baochai get ahead, and only asked Xue Baochai to leave the palace safely.

Now that everything that should be said has been said, Jia Min asked Wang Xifeng to send Xue Wang out.

Jia Min let out a long sigh; "If I knew I was worried today, why would I be willing to send a girl to the palace that day?"

After hearing Jia Min's emotion, Mrs. Xing was not easy to answer. Although Jia Min felt sorry for Xue Wangshi and Xue Baochai, she also felt that she was reluctant to let Daiyu enter the palace.

"Okay, I should go back too." Jia Min said.

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Xing's maid, Jin Bao, invited Daiyu over.

Daiyu and the girl beside her looked as usual, but Jin Bao's expression was a little unnatural.

But Jia Min didn't ask, Daiyu didn't say anything, and Mrs. Xing didn't ask either.

After sending Jia Min and Daiyu away, Mrs. Xing asked, "What happened?"

"When the servant girl passed by, I heard Miss Shi say a few sour words, saying that she looked down on her sisters because she was rich and honored, and insisted on her own status..." Jin Bao said.

"Miss Lin, did you hear that?" Mrs. Xing looked a little ugly.

"Miss Lin didn't hear it, but there are many girls and women around her, so I don't know if she heard it or not."

"Where is the girl next to Shi Xiangyun?" Mrs. Xing was a little impatient, and she was very unhappy.

"Smith's maid named Cui Li was originally by the old lady's side, and she kept persuading her."

"If you reveal this to the old lady and the Shi family, it's fine for their girls to stay in Jia's house all the time, and you still think that we can't teach them?" Mrs. Xing sneered.

Su Zhi, the second-class girl who followed Daiyu, heard Shi Xiangyun's words. She was very angry, but she knew that it was not good, so she made a fuss at that time. Daiyu said.

Afterwards, she showed a bit of disdain, and said casually: "Miss Smith is different from the girls of the Jia family. She is an unscrupulous one. The girls of the Jia family dare not say anything about girls, but she dares."

Zhuguang on the side frowned when he heard this.

Daiyu leaned lazily on the soft pillow, her tone a little displeased, "Are you teaching her to speak?"

"Girl, I don't mean that, I just feel sorry for the girl." Su Zhi hurriedly made up.

"You go down." Daiyu didn't say much, and let Su Zhi go down, Su Zhi glanced at Zhuguang for help, Zhuguang shook his head slightly, Su Zhi had no choice but to go down.

"Ms. Smith, she's always been like this. That's all she has. She's quick for a while. Naturally, someone will discipline her later. Why should I lower my status and care about her." Daiyu's tone was very flat, obviously she didn't put Shi Xiangyun's words at all. on heart.

"The girl is generous."

Daiyu didn't say anything, just like what she said, she doesn't need to worry about her status and Shi Xiangyun's status, someone else will teach Shi Xiangyun a lesson.

A day later, news of Shi Xiangyun's grounding and punishment reached Daiyu's ears. After hearing this, Daiyu let the girl who sent the message go down without even raising her eyelids.

He made a casual move and said, "I'm not a small-minded person, why bother to pass it on to my ears."

"Of course I'm afraid you'll be unhappy." Tu Yi said.

"The subordinates naturally look at the faces of the superiors all the time." Tu Yi spoke very clearly.

"No wonder you keep your face sullen all day. It turns out that you are afraid that the servants will guess your mind." Daiyu said in a low voice.

Tu Yi didn't hear clearly, and looked up at Daiyu with some doubts, Daiyu hurriedly interrupted: "If you pull a hair and move your whole body, the superiors are also afraid, and dare not do whatever they want, right?"

Tu Yi nodded.

At the end of the game, Tu Yi stood up, "Go to bed earlier, you have to get up early and go out tomorrow."

Hearing the news of going on a trip, Daiyu's eyes widened, "Got it."

Daiyu sent Tu Yi out, but Tu Yi turned his head and said to Daiyu: "Don't talk about the prince casually, he knows he wants to settle accounts with you. What is a sullen face all day, it is obviously calm."

Daiyu burst out laughing when she heard this, and Tu Yi was also narrow-minded.
