[Red Mansions] The good life of the wife of the official family

Seeing her daughter like this, Wu knew that Jia Zhu must have been seriously injured, at least more severely than Wang Ren.She turned her head behind her, looked at Wang Ren and said, "Ren'er, come out and tell me what's going on."

Wang Ren flinched and still couldn't come out, but Yuan Chun suddenly stepped forward to Wu's face and said, "Grandmother, Qiu Xiang from the Qiu family has a bad name. He relies on Qiu Duwei as a military officer and often bullies others outside. Brother Ren prefers Playing with him, he bullied everyone he saw. I don’t know how many children from poor families he bullied. My brother tried to persuade Brother Ren, but he was beaten by Qiu Xiangming, saying that my brother is a hypocrite. Not only did Brother Ren not help, return……"

When Yuan Chun said this, seeing that Wang Ren did not refute aloud, Wu knew that this matter was roughly what Yuan Chun said.And Zhao Zhihan stood aside silently, it was indeed better for Yuan Chun to say this than Mrs. Wang herself.Then Mrs. Wu stretched out her hand and pulled Wang Ren out from behind, looked at him, and said with a gentle face, "Ren'er, is this what my sister said?"

Wang Ren turned his face away very displeasedly and said, "You are a family, and together you are bullying me. I'm going to find my wife, she must believe me." After Wang Ren finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry .He didn't expect that his aunt would come to the door, so he came to complain to Mrs. Wu.

After Wang Ren ran away, Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "You still have to pursue this matter. If you want to pursue it, what kind of justice do you want?"

Mrs. Wang came to Wu's side and helped her sit down, "If the old lady doesn't want to pursue it, what can I pursue? But when she first came in, she would say some angry words. It's just that there are other things, I still want to say. Big brother has gone, Ren The son has no father, so let the second elder brother take good care of him. After all, the elder sister-in-law is out of control in the inner courtyard, and it is not up to him to make friends with some dubious people outside. If this continues, what will happen? Is that good? Besides, our Wang family has only one seedling, Ren'er."

After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Mrs. Wu sighed after sitting down, "I often think about this too, but this Ren'er is not willing to get close to his second uncle. And because Ren'er lives in his mother's yard, he No matter what mother says, she won't let him go. Even if his second uncle wants to control him a hundred times, it's useless. Right now, I only hope that your second sister-in-law will give me another grandson."

Mrs. Wang turned her gaze to Zhao Zhihan, then looked at her stomach, and said, "Second sister-in-law, is there still nothing?"

Zhao Zhihan saw that the topic of the two had suddenly shifted to herself, so she could only look at Mrs. Wang and shook her head, "Not yet."

Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Zhihan's hand into her, and said very cordially: "Second sister-in-law knows that my grandfather was awarded the earl by the court at that time. In our generation, the title is gone. My second sister-in-law My brother is very competitive and doesn't want my family to be ruined, so he has always been on his official career. In order to gain fame in the exam, he has always been reluctant to marry a wife. Even my younger sister and I were married, but he didn't. It's also fortunate that my family has a second brother like this Yes, otherwise it would not be a big family. Now, the second elder brother has become the secretary of the household department, and he will be promoted if he does well. Although the second sister-in-law is younger than me, she is more blessed than me. But this blessing, You have to catch it."

Zhao Zhihan naturally knew that what she said was to seize the blessing and give birth to a son quickly.Mrs. Wu also agreed with Mrs. Wang's words very much, she just nodded and said: "Your elder sister is right, I also beat you up from time to time, you really need to put more thought on this. It doesn't matter about other things, just count the most It's important."

Seeing that she couldn't push it, Zhao Zhihan had no choice but to agree, "Yes, old lady, I have always taken this matter at ease."

Wu grabbed her other hand, "Don't just tell me, but don't worry about it."

"En." Zhao Zhihan nodded, and could only cooperate with the family to act.As for what selfishness each of them harbors, she doesn't want to speculate yet.Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Wang Ziteng to have a child at present.

After saying this, Mrs. Wang pulled Jia Yuanchun in front of Mrs. Wu and said, "Girl Yuan will enter the palace to run for election in a few years. I will bring it to the old lady and let her accompany her well. If you don't go in, you will be fine." Well, if we really go in, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see the old lady in the future."

Mrs. Wu sighed, took Yuan Chun into her arms, looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "You still have the heart, lest I miss my granddaughter. Your sister gave birth to Bao girl last year, and she only came back last year to see her once, and she hasn't seen her since. Don't come back and show me."

"I also want to see Sister Bao, but it's too far from Jinling to the capital, so it's not very convenient." Mrs. Wang didn't speak, and Yuan Chun took Wu's words.Seeing Mrs. Wu bowing her head to talk to Yuan Chun, she smiled and said: "Old lady, we won't disturb you and girl Yuan here. You're here, I'm going to have a chat with my second sister-in-law."

"Hey, go ahead, enlighten your sister-in-law well. Those who burn incense and chant Buddha all day with me are stupid." After Wu Shi finished speaking, she turned her attention to Yuan Chun again.

Zhao Zhihan didn't know what to talk about between herself and Mrs. Wang, as far as she knew, Mrs. Wang had already married into Jia's family before the original owner married in, and there was no intersection.On the contrary, Mrs. Wang and the eldest wife, Shi Shi, spent such a period of time together that they were not very happy.

Mrs. Wang wanted to go to Zhao Zhihan's yard to have a look, so Zhao Zhihan had no choice but to bring her there.Hong Yi and Mrs. Wang's maid, Jin Chuan, followed behind, and because they were not familiar with each other, they could only chat about the flowers and grasses they saw in the yard.

When they arrived in the courtyard, when the maids saw that their eldest daughter had returned, they naturally came up to say hello.But that Mrs. Chen came up, came up to Zhao Zhihan and said, "Madam, Yulan is going back to the eldest wife's room, and asked me to come up and tell you to let her go."

Zhao Zhihan glanced at Mrs. Chen, "Are you going with me too?"

Mrs. Chen smiled, but she didn't speak.Zhao Zhihan understood what she meant, and thought she had already greeted Shi's house, otherwise she would not have talked about this matter.Zhao Zhihan took a breath, and said: "It's fine to go to the eldest wife's room, and I don't have to keep you guys. It's just that you ask her to come and talk to me by herself. What's your name? It's naturally inappropriate for you to leave with a message. Proper."

Mrs. Chen was embarrassed, and said: "Madam, Yucca is lying in the room, so I can't tell you about it."

Zhao Zhihan stared at her, "She can't come and tell me, but is there a way to bring her luggage to the eldest wife's room?"

At first, Mrs. Chen wanted to say something, but seeing that she was wronged, the big girl who was not easy to mess with at home was here again.I had no choice but to agree, and kept silent.

Mrs. Wang followed Zhao Zhihan into the house, and she knew more or less what her second sister-in-law was going through at home.It's lucky that the slave didn't bully her.Seeing that she didn't seem to be that weak when talking to Mrs. Chen just now, she was curious in her heart and asked Mrs. Chen about Yulan.

Zhao Zhihan told the whole thing from the beginning to the end, Madam Wang smiled as she listened, and said after she finished speaking: "The second sister-in-law finally found out that it was the elder sister-in-law and younger siblings who tripped you up and prevented you from living a peaceful life?"

Zhao Zhihan raised her hand and poured two cups of tea, and brought one cup to Mrs. Wang, "Is there anything I don't know, but I'm just pretending not to know."

Mrs. Wang took a sip of tea, looked at Zhao Zhihan and said, "Second sister-in-law, I only tell you some things, and it's for your own good. Don't say that Ren'er is useless now, even if she is knowledgeable and reasonable, Dafang thinks It is also impossible to really take back the family. The second brother is now in charge of the house, and you should be in charge of the inner courtyard. Don't let the money earned by the second brother fall into other people's pockets. Sister-in-law may be orphaned and widowed, but what does it have to do with your second sister-in-law?"

Zhao Zhihan smiled, "If any money falls into someone's pocket, the account is recorded in black and white. Except for the monthly silver, it is all from the officials. Housekeeper, but how much can I get for myself if I spend so much time and effort in taking care of the yard?" good?"

Mrs. Wang put down the cup in her hand, "Second sister-in-law, you are really confused. Those people who secretly give silver taels to beg for errands, don't say anything about the land tax and house tax, but come closer and say, can this account be faked? Can't all be faked?" , Can one of the hundreds of thousands of pens be faked. Now the old lady doesn't care about anything, who else cares? If there is no problem with the money, the second sister-in-law believes it, but I don't believe it. "

Zhao Zhihan naturally knew that the housekeeper could have all kinds of tricks, she pretended not to know, but she didn't want to form gangs.She and the two sisters-in-law of the Wang family will not get along well, but she has no interest in forming a party with the second wife of the Jia family.Of course, there is no need to offend her.

After hearing Mrs. Wang finish speaking, Zhao Zhihan just nodded with a face full of enlightenment.Mrs. Wang was a little proud, and continued: "Second sister-in-law may not know the situation of my husband's family. Although the great master Jia She took over the title, he is not doing business properly. Now my husband has become a member of the Ministry of Industry with his own ability. He is also a well-educated, upright, modest and polite person. The old lady in the family is partial to our second room, and everyone can see it. Now I am pregnant again, and my temperament is also liked by the old lady. The current main room in the big house is the former Aunt Chen was righted and gave birth to a daughter named Yingchun after our Yuanchun, but she is a very incompetent master. I often say that she is softer than your second sister-in-law. If things go on like this, it will be our turn to be the second wife. It will be a matter of time before the decision is made.”

After listening to Mrs. Wang's words, Zhao Zhihan was silent for a moment, and said, "Since ancient times, the eldest son has inherited the family business, and the second wife squeezed the seat of the eldest, so won't he be criticized?" It was Wang Ziteng's turn to be the head of the household.In this Jia family, the second house is the head of the house, that is, the dove occupies the magpie's nest.

Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously, she just said: "Although this matter depends on the blood relatives, if there is no one in the house, why not give up the inheritance right? Don't you have to destroy the house in his hands to be reconciled?" You haven’t seen, now that the eldest wife is the housekeeper, what’s going on in the house, the old lady can’t stop sighing, just waiting for the child in my belly to take over.”

Zhao Zhihan looked at her stomach, it seemed to be a little bulging, but it wasn't very obvious.According to the children of the Jia family, the child in Mrs. Wang's womb is Jia Baoyu.
