After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

But why Wang Ziteng and Jia She are so shocked and angry?

It all starts with Jia Zheng's wife, Wang Ziteng's sister, Jia Wang's old clam pregnant with pearls and a middle-aged son born the night before yesterday.

As for the couple Jia Zheng and Wang, although they are not at odds with each other, they have nothing to do with love and harmony.

Jia Zheng loves face, and the only serious concubines are the two concubines within the regulations, one from the Zhou family and the other from the Zhao family.

Moreover, these two are family-born sons, both given by Jia's mother.

For Jia Zheng, this is a gift from the elders and cannot be denied. It not only fulfills filial piety, but also enjoys beauty;

For Jia's mother, it is to further win over her son and prevent her beloved youngest son from being completely won over by his daughter-in-law;

For the Zhou family and the Zhao family, they became half masters, well-clothed and well-fed, enjoying endless glory and wealth.

It can be said that everyone is happy... Shit!

Jia Zheng's first wife, Wang Shi, hated these two vixens very much.

Especially the slender, graceful and considerate Mrs. Zhou is a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh.

For the vulgar Mrs. Zhao, she looked down on her from the bottom of her heart, and naturally she didn't.

What's even more hateful is that she managed to have another child at the age of 40. Just at the time when she could prove to outsiders that their husband and wife are deeply in love, Zhou's child was also conceived.

This was blatantly hitting her in the face, with Wang's arrogance, how could she bear it?

So, Zhou accidentally slipped his foot and slipped a tire by the way.

Wang felt sorry for a while, and rewarded some cloth jewelry as comfort.

The Zhou family seemed to have been hit too much. When she was in confinement and thanked her, she didn't have the agility of the past at all, like dead wood and ashes.

Mrs. Wang sighed a few more times, and told her to take good care of her, and then spread the leaves for the master.

Mrs. Zhou thanked her woodenly, and when she left the main room, she almost couldn't help but shed tears, but quickly held back her tears.

——She regretted not listening to what her old mother said, relying on her own beauty, she was unwilling to marry a steward and let her children be slaves for generations.

Now, she has no chance to have a son and a daughter.

The doctor made it very clear that she fell hard and hurt her body. She might have difficulty getting pregnant in the future.

The men of Jia's family never cared much about their concubine's children. When Jia Zheng learned that Mrs. Wang had comforted Mrs. Zhou, he just let it go and didn't even ask any more questions.

——In his mind, the main house should have been concerned about these matters in the rear house.A man should exert his strength in the court, but how can he be trapped in the back house?

Mother Jia saw something strange at a glance.

But Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun are grown-ups, and Jia Zhu is quite talented in reading, and he has the favor of Li Shouye, the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, and betroths his eldest daughter Li Wan to him.

Seeing Jia Zheng's lineage, Jia Zhu will still be in charge in the future.

Not to mention, Yuan Chun's more dignified and beautiful appearance will definitely become a great help to Jia Zhu in the future.

How could Mother Jia make it difficult for Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, two good grandchildren, for an unborn concubine child?

Since then, Wang said his wish, and the spring breeze is proud.

Aunt Zhao got a warning and behaved even more unbearably, causing Wang to despise and loathe her, let alone take her seriously.

And Wang's pride reached its peak after the birth of the child in her womb.

——This child was born with a piece of psychic jade.

This jade pigeon egg is the size of a jade pigeon egg, colorful and fluorescent, with many words densely engraved on it.

Mrs. Wang was keenly aware that this child was a huge bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that made the old lady more inclined towards the Second Household and helped the Second Household to win the title of Dafang!

But it turns out that this child is more in the heart of her mother-in-law than she thought.

Because, this child, he was born very much like the old Duke Jia Daishan, and when Jia's mother saw it, she liked it very much.

At this time, the fact that the child was born with jade was revealed, which made Mother Jia feel that this was the reincarnation of the old Duke.

The old Duke Jia Daishan and Jia Mu Shi's husband and wife still have a strong relationship. Except that Jia Daishan asked Shi to hand over the housekeeping right as soon as the eldest daughter-in-law entered the house, and he disagreed with his life and death to let the second son Jia Zheng inherit the title, Jia Daishan He is almost obedient to Shi Shi.

Of course, Shi Shi also knew in his heart that such things as titles were beyond the control of their courtiers, and the court had its own rules.

She didn't know that what Jia Daishan was more interested in was the eldest son Jia She who had been married for many years.

So, she channeled all her anger on the eldest daughter-in-law, Song Shi, and continued to make things difficult for Song Shi over the years.

To sum up, Jia's mother still has deep feelings for Jia Daishan.

Especially after Jia Daishan's death, the situation in Rongguo Mansion was getting worse every year, and when she went out to socialize, she received less and less favor.

Most of those who supported her were looking at the face of the late Jia Daishan.

Although she always blamed the elder son for all these things, scolding the elder son for being worthless.

But deep down, she also understands that even if Chengjue's son is the youngest son, it is still impossible to turn the tide.

So, she missed the time when Jia Daishan was still there more and more, and she missed the glory of the past even more.

Therefore, seeing the little grandson who looks very much like Jia Daishan, Jia's mother is inevitably a little dazed.

——It must be that the old man is reluctant to part with me, it must be that the old man can't stand the decline of the Jia family, and has voted back to the Jia family!

That's right, in her opinion, even though Jia Amnesty earned the title of Marquis himself, but she didn't get much credit, the Jia family was still in decline.

In her heart, she should be the top of the Jia family's pagoda.

Jia Amnesty didn't know about this at all, and even if he knew, he didn't care.

Now he can be considered to have tasted the sweetness of being generous in front of Jia Mu.

If he hadn't woken up, Lin Zhixiao, the housekeeper, would have rushed to tell him that suddenly there were many servants from Jia's government on the street, and papers with the word "Baoyu" written on them were posted everywhere. The people in the mansion took rice noodles to the south of the city to give alms. He would not pay too much attention to Jia Zheng's family.

"What's going on?" Jia She was very puzzled, "What the hell is the second child doing?"

After leading soldiers for the past few years, Jia Amnesty's temper has also become irritable, and when he heard about this, he became irritable for no reason.

Lin Zhixiao said: "I went to send someone to inquire. Didn't the second wife activate it last night? It is said that a big fat boy was born, and when he came out of the womb, he contained a piece of psychic jade in his mouth. The old man My wife was afraid that he would not be able to suppress his blessings because he was a small person, so she named him Baoyu, and ordered people to post it everywhere, so that all the traffickers and pawns would read it. She also asked people to give up their face and ask the Bodhisattva to bless them."

Jia She frowned fiercely: What is this all about?

Song Shi, who was watching Jia Lian and Yingchun eating, frowned and said, "This method is too clumsy."

As a normal person, Mrs. Song subconsciously believed that this was a means used by Mrs. Wang to suppress the concubine's house and consolidate her position.

But there was one thing she didn't understand: Mrs. Wang already had a son and a daughter under her knees, and they were all grown up, so why use such means?

Then, Jia Amnesty gave her a reasonable excuse: "Zhu'er is weak, I think she went to the doctor in a hurry!"

Lin Zhixiao added from the side: "I also heard that when the second wife was pregnant with this child, one of the second master's relatives also had a baby, but they didn't keep it."

This makes more sense.

However, for such a secret matter in the Jia government to be leaked to the outside, the Song family was very contemptuous: It has been so many years, and the methods of the Wang family's officials are still the same!

After Jia Lian and Yingchun had finished their meal, Song said, "After all, there is a baby over there. I'll take my sister over there to have a look."

Then, she told a little girl, "Go to Aunt Sha's place to see, has she eaten?"

There are strict rules in the capital, and concubines cannot serve at the table, and Mrs. Song didn't want Mrs. Sha to stand and serve, so she asked the kitchen to make it for her alone every day.

The little girl went to take the order, and after a while, she brought Sha Shi back.

The Sha family has some foreign blood, and the outline is darker than that of the Central Plains people. Although the skin is slightly rough, it is very white.

Her eyes are not the brown-black color of people from the Central Plains, but slightly amber like glazed glass.

"Greetings to my sister." Seeing Mrs. Song, Mrs. Sha's eyes lit up, and she quickly bowed and jumped to her side, "I heard from the girl that my sister is going to take me out today. That's great, come to the capital for a few days, It's killing me."

Song patted her cheek affectionately, and said with a smile: "I know you can't sit still. But the capital city is not like cochin, there are many rules, I'm afraid that people will laugh at you, so I restrain you."

Mrs. Sha pouted, hugged Mrs. Song's arm coquettishly: "Actually, I don't really want to go out. It's just that my sister is always busy these days, and she hasn't talked to me for a long time!"

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Song coaxed with a smile, "Isn't this just returning to Beijing, and all the miscellaneous things are just things? It will be fine after this period of time."

Jia Amnesty sat aside, feeling uncomfortable all over.

I don't know why, when his wife and concubine are present at the same time, he always feels that he is purely redundant.

"You two discuss it, I'll go first." After he finished speaking, he picked up the fan on the table, got up and left.

——Why don’t you want to look at these two more?

A cunning flashed in Mrs. Sha's eyes, and in a blink of an eye, she raised her head aggrievedly, and said to Mrs. Song, "Is it because I didn't greet the master, that he annoyed me?"

Song didn't take it seriously: "He's a big man, how can he argue with you so much? He must be busy with other things."

Jia Lian looked at his mother, and then at his aunt. He held back the words of asking for peace for a long time, and led his younger sister Yingchun to retreat silently.

"Second brother, shouldn't we greet Auntie?" Yingchun asked suspiciously.

Jia Lian fooled his younger sister seriously: "Mother and aunt have something to do, so let's not disturb them."

"Alright then." Yingchun nodded seriously.

Jia Lian secretly wiped off his sweat.

——He didn't have the nerve to tell his sister, he always felt that if he bothered at this time, he would be hated by his aunt.

At that time, what Auntie said casually to his mother would be enough for him to cry without tears.

The author has something to say: the manuscript of Lin Ruhai's short story is almost finished, and the next story is Xue Baochai.

Whether you like this character or not, please take a look first before deciding whether to jump or not, maybe what I wrote suits your appetite.

Cough, the reason why she is mentioned in this chapter is that I want to ask everyone for their opinions:

When writing Baochai, due to the needs of the storyline, there will be a false lily plot.It's the kind of lily in name, there is no actual ambiguous relationship between the two girls, they just unite to fight against the world.

I don't know if everyone will feel Lei?
