After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber
Chapter 174 Lin Ruhai
Because the Rongxi Hall could not live in and the new house had not been tidied up, Jia Zheng and his family could only move to the West Courtyard overnight.
Although the West Courtyard is not bad, it is far inferior to the Rongxi Hall, let alone the East Courtyard where the heirs lived.
Sitting in the main hall, Mrs. Wang instructed the maidservant to pack up, and she couldn't help complaining: "Where is this place where people live?"
Yuan Chun, who was at the side, heard the words, and persuaded softly: "Madam, you can't say this, if uncle hears it, it will be another lawsuit."
In fact, Yuan Chun still had half of the words in his heart: Logically speaking, Jia Zheng is the second son, so he should have lived here in the first place.
She heard from the old man in the mansion that when her grandfather was still there, her father and mother lived in the west courtyard.
But Yuan Chun had an exquisite mind and knew that if she said this, she would surely anger her mother.
She finally got permission from her grandmother to accompany her mother, but she really didn't want to have a dispute with her mother.
Therefore, she could only use Uncle Jia She to suppress her mother and make her say a few words that she shouldn't say.
But she didn't want to, Wang was still annoyed, and said loudly: "So what if he heard it? He has already driven us out of Rongguo Mansion, what else does he want? If he is really capable, he will kill our whole family." Already!"
"Mother be careful!" Yuan Chun was taken aback, looked left and right at the servants who were busy with their heads down, and said anxiously, "Uncle and Master are brothers, and the bones are still connected even if the bones are broken. Mother said such a thing." Aren’t those words plucking out Uncle’s heart?”
The reason why Wang dared to say this was because she felt that everyone in the yard was her confidantes, and even if she said something wrong, Jia Amnesty would not know.
But Yuan Chun was much more sober than her.
Yuan Chun knew that in the past, the reason why these servants rushed to flatter their mother was because the old lady was eccentric and their second wife gained power.
But now, it's not what it used to be.
Their family will move out soon, and the uncle's family is the real master of the house.
Among these servants, there must be many who want to go to Dafang to sell them. What mother said may spread to Dafang in a blink of an eye.
But Yuan Chun is just a little girl who hasn't reached the age of Ji, and what she relies on on weekdays is nothing more than a little love from her grandmother.
Even if she wanted to redeem something, these servants would not listen to her.
Therefore, she could only remind these people that no matter how much Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng quarreled, they were still brothers. When they wanted to sow discord, they had better think twice.
However, it is not certain how much effect it will have.
Wang sneered, and wanted to say something, but seeing Yuan Chun winking at her, she finally shut up.
——Now, Yuan Chun's entry into the palace and being favored is the only shortcut for their second wife to stand up. Mrs. Wang doesn't want to create a estrangement with her daughter because of a little thing.
"My Yuan'er, you must live up to it!" Wang put her arms around Yuan Chun, imagining that one day, Yuan Chun would become a noble concubine, and Jia Sheyi kowtowed to her to make amends.
Yuan Chun naturally understood what she meant, and while he was looking forward to it, he couldn't help but feel panic.
——It is said that the imperial palace is the source of wealth and honor in the world. Grandmother, mother and foster mother all said that with her fate and appearance, she is destined to be a queen.
After hearing this a lot, Yuan Chun couldn't help but believe it a little bit.
However, she didn't know anything about what was going on in the palace.In her heart, it would be best if she could not enter the palace.
However, she also knew that her grandmother and mother had trained her for so many years, they would not allow her to be self-willed, she could not be her own master at all.

Just as Yuan Chun expected, Wang's words quickly reached Jia Amnesty's ears.Incidentally, even Yuan Chun's words were passed on.
Jia Amnesty couldn't help laughing, and said to Song: "My niece is a smart person. It's a pity that there are such a pair of parents."
Because Yuan Chun would often change the subject without a trace when the old lady made things difficult for Mrs. Song, or speak out to defuse the embarrassment.
Therefore, Mrs. Song had a good impression of Yuan Chun, and said with regret when she heard the words: "Yuan Chun is a good girl, but unfortunately, the old lady is determined to send people to places where no one can be seen (not that no one can be seen) to deliver."
Jia She rolled his eyes in boredom: "That's the second wife's business, we have nothing to do with it."
Although Song felt sorry for Yuan Chun, she was not her daughter after all. If the two had a good relationship, she could still say a few words for Yuan Chun.
But in fact, the relationship between the two families is like fire and water. Even if I have good intentions, I am afraid that if it is the second couple, I will only treat them as having bad intentions and not seeing them well.
Jia Amnesty said suddenly: "By the way, I have a discussion with you."
This is the first time since the two got married for many years, Jia She said seriously that he wanted to discuss with her, Song couldn't help being startled, and then showed a gentle smile: "Say it."
Jia She told the Song family what he had been thinking about before the separation of the family: "I want to ask the sage to become the general of Jiaozhou. What do you think?"
The current General Jiaozhou finally found his way and was transferred back to the capital. Now it is time for him to be vacant.
Although Jiaozhou has changed a lot under Wang Qi's governance in the past two years, people in the world have the inherent impression that it is a remote village and not many people are willing to go there.
Therefore, if Jia Amnesty took the initiative to ask for an order, the sage would definitely approve it.
At that time, he can take the whole family to take up the post on the grounds that the distance is long and the commute is difficult.
But the old lady was old and had limited mobility, so she just stayed here to reassure the saint.
——No matter what the relationship between their mother and son is, no one would believe that Jia She would ignore his mother in this age of filial piety.
Song was silent.
In doing so, although the old lady and the second child's family could be completely freed, they would also have to leave their homes.
Jia She said again: "I didn't do it all to please the old lady, it's just that a military officer like me can catch a lot of people in the capital, and it's really hard to get ahead by relying on seniority. I just want to give more to Hu'er." Earn some capital with Lian'er."
Song asked: "What about Hu'er studying?"
That's all for Jia Lian, he has never been thinking about reading since he was a child.Jia Hu is a good young man, what kind of good man is there in a place like Cochin?
Jia She said: "My wife doesn't know something. Today's Cochin, there is no shortage of good gentlemen. No matter how bad it is, there is Brother Lin who is a prostitute."
When Song heard this, her expression relaxed: "Since the master has made arrangements, then I will listen to the master."
She is not afraid of suffering, but she is afraid that Jia She's not going to make up her mind.
Now that he has figured it out, what objection does she have?
It's better for the husband-in-law to make progress than he did a few years ago, just muddling along, right?
Early the next morning, people from the Ministry of Rites came, and by the way, they brought the sage's praise and commendation to Jia Amnesty.
Jia She was proud of the spring breeze, and Jia's mother and Jia Zheng had to accompany them all the way with a smile on their faces, and sealed off all the places that violated the regulations.
When the plaque of the Rongguo Mansion was replaced with the Ronghou Mansion, Jia Zheng really had no reason to live anymore.
After all, he even has a child, how can he live in his brother's house?
But he really didn't want to leave!
Jia Zheng dawdled for three or four days, and his mansion over there was still not cleaned up.Seeing that Jia She didn't urge him, he couldn't help feeling lucky, and felt that he could continue to live in Ronghou Mansion.
However, on the fifth day, Jia She suddenly invited him and Jia Mu to the main hall, saying that he had asked the sage to be the general of Jiaozhou, and the sage had agreed.
"I will take my family to take office in a few days, and the mansion will also be sealed up. It's better for the second brother to move out as soon as possible."
Jia Zheng was startled, and subconsciously looked at Jia Mu.But Jia's mother just found out about it, and now she is also puzzled.
"When did I say I would take office with you?" Mother Jia asked displeasedly.
Jia She said: "The road to cross-chin is long, and the sage understands and allows me to take my family with me. I am the eldest son, and my mother is naturally taken care of by me. How can my son feel at ease when I leave my mother alone in the capital? Take care of it and never let mother feel unwell."
Jia Mu said sharply: "I won't go to the backcountry."
Jia She frowned: "Old lady, how can you go against the will of the saint?"
Jia Mu said: "The sage allowed you to bring your family, didn't he say that you have to take them all? You have to go by yourself, anyway, I won't go."
"How is this possible?" Jia She said, "Mother is alone in Beijing with no one to take care of her. How can I make my son feel at ease?"
He paused, then softened his voice, and persuaded: "Mother, don't worry, your son will bring a doctor with you along the way, and you won't be uncomfortable."
His voice is soft and soft, just coaxing the vexatious old man.
However, in Jia Mu's ears, there was a gloomy feeling.
She suddenly turned her head to look at her eldest son Jia She, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt that his smile was very malicious.
Following Jia Amnesty's words, she suddenly realized: It is indeed easy to be dissatisfied with leaving home.If Jia Amnesty had the heart, he would have let her die of illness on the way, and no one would suspect anything.
After all, she is so old...
She herself had never had any kind intentions towards Jia She, so she naturally thought that Jia She would not have any kind intentions towards her, and she never hesitated to speculate about him with the greatest malice.
"I won't go, I want to live with Zheng'er!"
This is what Jia Amnesty wanted, but based on his understanding of Jia's mother, if he agreed too readily, she would definitely be suspicious.
Therefore, Jia Amnesty frowned in dissatisfaction: "I am the eldest son, and it is only natural to take care of my mother. What is the matter with you following the second child?"
Jia's mother retorted: "It's not uncommon for mothers in Beijing to live with their second son."
Jia Amnesty was speechless for a moment.
——There are widowed mothers who live with their second son, and there are quite a few of them.But that's because the stepwife is unwilling to live with the eldest son from the original spouse, and it's human nature to want to live with his own son.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jia's mother thought he was unwilling, so she quickly winked at Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng thought that Jia Amnesty wanted to woo Jiamu, and he was planning on the old lady's private house, so he naturally didn't want him to succeed.
So, he said very sincerely: "Brother, don't worry, I have my mother's yard in my house, and I will definitely not let my mother suffer."
In terms of understanding of Jia Zheng, although Jia She is not the number one, few people can match him.
He pretended to ponder for a moment, and reluctantly said: "Then, during my tenure in Cochin, my mother will follow you first."
Then, he deliberately turned his head and said to Song Shi, "You help mother pack up some commonly used things and send them to the second child's house."
This means that there is no need to move a large amount of luggage and finances, which further confirms Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's speculation.
They are naturally unwilling.
In the end, the two sides quarreled for a long time, and Jia Zheng refused to let Jia amnesty even the alimony, so they managed to get all of Jia's mother's things removed.
Then, without waiting for Jia Amnesty's urging, the whole family left the next day.
Watching them leave, Jia She sneered: Now that they've all been moved, don't even think about coming back in the future!
The author has something to say: Ah——
Finally connected!
Although the West Courtyard is not bad, it is far inferior to the Rongxi Hall, let alone the East Courtyard where the heirs lived.
