Return of Jia Amnesty in the Red Chamber

I didn't expect that the Lin family actually kept his original work, what a great thing!And this, this is the handwriting of Yanxi in the former dynasty, who was arrested by the empress dowager because of the former imperial palace.The grandfather burned it, and there are very few of these things in the world, and every one of them is a fine product.And this, this is..." Facing a box of calligraphy and paintings, Jia Zheng talked like a treasure.

Master Zheng Er is a scholar after all. Although he has not achieved any achievements in his studies, he is only half-baked, and the remaining half can be useful.It's just that he doesn't have a deep study of antique calligraphy and painting like the Grand Master She, not to mention that his eyes are dark, but he also has a half-knowledge.Being able to perform like this now is just following the script.

Calligraphy and painting always have to be signed. Although he can't tell whether it is authentic, he can always tell whose work it is.As for the truth and falsehood, although the second master can't understand it, he can figure it out.Since the things were sent by Lin Ruhai, and he knew they were going to be placed in the relatives' hospital, his brother-in-law would never get some fake ones.Otherwise, if it is found out at that time, it will be his brother-in-law who will be ashamed.

Therefore, the second master of Zheng didn't care about 21. He opened a picture and talked about it, and he talked logically.

The second master had just finished preaching the calligraphy and paintings sent by the Lin family, when a maid reported outside the room, saying that the Shi Hou family had also sent something, and the two masters each sent a box.With the Lin family's things as a base, although Jia's mother was still not satisfied, it made her look forward to the two nephews of the Shi family, and hurriedly ordered people to bring the things in.

"Quickly open it and have a look. What are these things? They look heavy." Sitting on the main seat, Mother Jia saw that the two boxes were carried in by the four wives with reluctance. Much brighter.As soon as the box fell to the ground, he told the big maids around him, eager to know how the nephews of her natal family gave her face.

The size of the two boxes is not small, about three feet long and one foot high, which is much stronger than the box sent by the Lin family.

Seeing that the old lady was happy, Jin Yuanyang agreed crisply, before Hu Po and the others reached out and opened one of the boxes.Before taking a closer look, he planned to say a few nice words to make the old lady happy, but he was stunned after seeing the contents clearly.This historian... why did he send some of these here?

"What did they bring over here, you girl is talking." At first, Mother Jia smiled and waited for Yuanyang to reply, but now she saw that her expression was not right, she couldn't help being anxious, she got up with Hu Po's support, and walked forward Two steps to see in person.Upon seeing this, his face immediately sank.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang couldn't stand watching, so they got up and came to Jia Mu's side, and looked into the box.Then, the faces of these two also became weird.

The Second Master Zheng was similar to his mother, his face was gloomy and ugly, but more of it was deep disappointment.During this period of time, his mother had disappointed him too many times.If this continues, the second master is worried that he is about to despair.Not only could Jia She's family not be dealt with, but was his mother treated so perfunctorily even with the Shi family brothers? !

After looking at the box, Mrs. Wang pretended to be surprised and raised the handkerchief to her mouth, covering the slightly raised corners of her lips.This old woman always thinks that she is still the big elder of several families, and is respected and filial by many juniors, but in reality?Take a look at what the Shijia brothers sent today, she should be able to see herself clearly, right? !

"Look at that one too." Angrily, Mother Jia brushed off Amber's hand that was supporting her, paused on her crutches and said loudly.She wanted to see if her two good nephews had made an agreement to get rid of her aunt with these rags.

Yuanyang didn't regret it much in her heart, she wanted to please the old lady, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen to her.She wanted to hide to the side, but one was ordered by the old lady, and the other maidservants hid to the side, so she couldn't even hold a back.Yuanyang had no choice but to grit her teeth and lower her head, gently opening another box beside her.

When opening the box, she prayed in her heart, but don't be like the previous one, otherwise the old lady will have to get angry, and she will lose more than she gets.It's a pity that the gods and Buddhas in the sky didn't seem to hear her prayers. When the box was half opened and looked inside, Yuanyang's heart was half cold.

Why is it a box of glass ornaments again!

That's right, the two Shihou's families sent all glass utensils, ranging from small cups to large screens, all of which were made of glass.Although they look exquisite, they are also made of glass.It would be a big deal if someone gave away two boxes of things a few years ago, but now...

Probably in the year when I ascended the throne, there was a shop specializing in glass items in Beijing. Everything in it was crystal clear and free of impurities, not to mention how gratifying it was.At first people thought it was brought back from overseas, but later with the ocean-going fleet and sea-going ships, people realized that such glass does not even exist in the West.

And the most rare thing is that those glass utensils are not too expensive, even middle class families can afford them.This made the ship owners very happy, and they bought goods from that store one after another, and sold the glass products overseas.In the past, Westerners used this to make money for them, but now they can make money in reverse.

Especially since the opening of the Provincial Garden in Beijing, there has been a large piece of flat glass in the shop, which is said to be used on the windows. It is transparent and windproof and warm, and it is very popular among nobles.Even Rongguo Mansion gritted its teeth and bought a lot when it built the Provincial Hospital.

Therefore, it is not like it was a few years ago. Although glassware is still not affordable for ordinary people, it is not a rare item for ordinary wealthy people.What did the Shijia brothers mean by sending these two boxes of gadgets?

There was also a historian's wife who brought the things. Although the atmosphere in the room was not good at this time, she still had to say what the master ordered, so she boldly said: "Old lady, our wife has said, your majesty There are no good things to borrow, and these things should be regarded as honoring your old man, and you don’t have to return them after using them.”

return?Returning you... Anger welled up, and before Mother Jia could finish cursing this sentence in her heart, she rolled her eyes and fell limply.

No.90 Once Mrs. Shihou's Mansion complained and asked An Xiangyun to come over

In Baolinghou's mansion, in the upper room of Mrs. Li, Mrs. Hou, the old woman who just went to Rongguo Mansion to deliver things, sat on the embroidered pier in front of Mrs. Li, and vividly described the scene in Rongguo Mansion for her.

"Miss, you didn't see it. The old lady in our family has such a face that I can almost drip water. The slave just passed on your words, and the old lady rolled her eyes on the spot. If there is no This maid was clever, and rushed over to act as a backstop, fearing that she would fall to the ground. Oh, hey, the scene at that time was such a mess, so many people surrounded the old lady, but they even went to call the doctor None of the…”

Mrs. Li had a smile on her face when she heard the words, but she still gave the woman a sideways look, and said in her mouth: "You slave, what are you talking about? What is the identity of the old lady, and there are sons and sons by her side?" The daughter-in-law and the big maids are waiting on you, how can you fall into a big horse? If outsiders hear this, it will be considered that our Houfu has no rules, and it is gossip about the elders instead."

"But..." After speaking, Mrs. Li paused for a while, and then said in a low voice, "but this is actually not to blame for our Hou Mansion. Not to mention anything else, it's just the beginning of their family's establishment of the provincial hospital. Count how much we have stretched back from our Hou's mansion? At first, Hou Ye and I saw it for the sake of the two relatives, and gave it if we gave it. It was only for the sake of relatives. It's endless."

"Up to now, the garden has been completed, and it is simply a shame to put the idea on the Marquis's house. In the past, I have seen a lot of people moving things from their mother-in-law's house to their mother's house. It would be good to come to her." , I’m going to treat my mother’s house as the warehouse of my in-law’s house. This means that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are gone, and it’s all juniors who bully us.” When she said this, Mrs. Li didn’t name her, but anyone who heard it could understand , This is talking about Jia Shishi, the old lady of their Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Li hadn't finished complaining, she continued to mutter in a low voice: "The one whose family is in the palace, so what if he can go out to visit his relatives? That's a concubine, even if he was favored by the old sage for a while, Is it still possible to give birth to a prince? Even if it is born, so what? There are still few brothers today? It’s all like this, and I don’t know what his family is showing off all day long. The empress is talking about it, I don't know if I thought it was accepted by the present."

At the end of this sentence, it was a bit sour.Mrs. Li's natal family also sent their daughter to the palace to participate in the election, but they failed to stay in the palace. Now, seeing that the eldest girl of Rongguo Mansion has a title, although she is a concubine, she is also the imperial family's imperial seal characters.

"Ma'am, it's time for the girls to come to greet you later, do you think you have prepared some tea?" Seeing that his wife's words became more and more out of line, the close nun took advantage of the gap and hurriedly interjected.The wife said that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion didn't care, the old lady on the left and right did go too far.But if it involves people and things in the palace, then something is wrong.

"Well, it's about time. Hurry up and prepare some Yikehua snacks. The second girl and the fourth girl are growing up, and they are easy to be hungry at night." Mrs. Li also said
