The Red Chamber: Jia She Xiuxian Ji

"My father asked me to give this to my uncle. There is 5 taels of silver in it. It is for my three brothers and sisters and my servants to spend for a year in the capital. Please ask my uncle to accept it."

Jia Amnesty took it with a smile and stuffed it into his sleeve.

"I've accepted the money. The three of you, brother and sister, will live in the mansion. I'll ask Andrew to take you to pick a yard that suits you. Just treat this place as your own home."

Lin Jin agreed with a smile, he still likes this too young uncle very much.

Seeing the 5 taels of vain silver entering Jia She's hands, Mrs. Wang's eyes instantly turned red.

5 taels, if you give them a second room, how much can you do!

Who didn't know that the 5 taels was said to be the living expenses of the three brothers and sisters of the Lin family, but in fact it was just a clever project set up by Lin Ruhai to let Jia Amnesty protect the three children who came to Beijing for the first time.Looking at the situation of the Lin family, why do you need to pay so much money?

Jia Mu said angrily: "Where do we need to go out to find a courtyard? There are many large courtyards here in Rongqingtang, which is enough for three children. I like Daiyu very much, so let her live with me. Just stay with my old lady."

Jia She said with a snort: "Have you always forgotten that Yu'er is six years old this year, and will be seven years old after the new year, and there is still a seven-year-old Baoyu living in your house. As the saying goes, 'Men and women have different seats at seven years old. ', what are you going to do?"

When Brother Jinyu heard this, is it okay?It's about my sister's reputation, no matter what I say, I can't let Daiyu live in Rongqingtang.

I only heard Lin Jin say: "Grandmother doesn't know something. When our brothers and sisters left home, my father was afraid that it would be inconvenient for us to be away, so he sent all the people around us to serve us. The younger sister is a girl, and she even brought enough people: four first-class Big maids, four second-class maids, eight third-class maids, not to mention the mother-in-law and the errand servants, there are more than 30 people in total, and this is because it is inconvenient to go out. Yes. When my sister adapts to the life in the capital, we will make up for the lack of manpower. In this way, my sister is not suitable to live with my grandmother."

When Jia's mother heard this, she could only sigh: "Your old man is caring, that's all, you brothers and sisters can go and find a yard to live in, just don't wrong yourself."

Jia She said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, I won't let the three children feel wronged. Yu'er can live in Min'er's 'Lotus Courtyard' before, where everything is still there, and there is no need to clean it hard. You can live in it. As for Brother Yu and Brother Jin, you two will live in the outer courtyard. When the filial piety period arrives, you will enter the Imperial College, and it will be convenient for you to go to school."

The three brothers and sisters had no objection to Jia Amnesty's arrangement, and they all got up and saluted Jia Amnesty to thank him.

When the matter was settled, Mother Jia sighed secretly about the missed opportunity, and said with a smile, "That's fine, but I didn't think about it." Turning to Mrs. Wang, she said, "I see that Brother Yu and Baoyu are about the same age. Send him to the Imperial College as well, so the brothers can take care of them."

Wang was a little hesitant.Back then, her eldest son, Jia Zhu, was admitted to the Imperial College. That child worked too hard, and his body was weak, so he suffered a lot.

The second son, Baoyu, was born with jade, a child with good luck, and Mrs. Wang had extremely high expectations for him.It's just because Jia Mu loves too much, and Baoyu's body is not very healthy. Knowing that Baoyu doesn't like imperial examinations, Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu have always followed his wishes and didn't force him.Anyway, the second room still has Jia Zhu standing in front of it.

But now they can't tolerate Jia Baoyu's connivance anymore, the Lin family has gone to Beijing, Lin Ruhai is the third-rank Yangzhou patrol salt censor, in charge of the emperor's money bag, Jane is in the emperor's heart.As long as he can pass his term of office safely, after returning to Beijing, he will definitely be promoted again, and he will be in charge of one of the six departments.If Jia Baoyu can't stand up on his own, the two people are not in the same household, and it is impossible for Jia Baoyu to marry Lin Daiyu.

Previously, I thought that Jia Amnesty and King Zhongrui got mixed up and refused to take concubines, so he must have no children. When the time comes, the next heir of the Rongguo Mansion will definitely adopt from the offshoot of the Jia family.And Jia Zheng's family is the closest blood relative to Jia She, and everyone took it for granted that Jia She will eventually inherit the family business through Jia Zheng's children.

However, as the years passed, when everyone was getting old day by day, Jia She and Tu Yu seemed to be forgotten by time, and their appearance had not changed. Knowing these two, I'm afraid they are not ordinary people.

Jia's mother thought a little further. She was also the one who saw Xuan Yuanzi with her own eyes back then, so she knew the strangeness of Xuan Yuanzi to some extent. How many good things.What if Jia Amnesty really touches the threshold of longevity?At that time, who could survive him?

As for the successor of Rongguo Mansion, unless Jia She is willing to give up the title of Rongguo Mansion, no matter how carefully these people plan, they will not be able to succeed.

It just so happened that the two elder brothers of the Lin family came, and they looked very outstanding. With Jia Baoyu's bullish temper, he would definitely get along very well with these two cousins.At that time, the three younger brothers will go to the Imperial College to study together, and they will be able to accompany each other and encourage each other. With the contacts of the Lin family among literati, Jia Baoyu will be of great help in becoming an official in the future.

In Jia's mother's opinion, it would be best if Jia Baoyu and the Lin brothers went to school together.

It's just a pity that Mrs. Wang is unclear. She didn't know how to seize such a good opportunity today, so she pointed out something and sent Baoyu away.

It seems that it is time to have a good talk with Wang.

Because Jia Amnesty came forward, it was unjustifiable for Jia Zheng, a younger brother, to continue to hide by the side.

It was rare for the family to have a sumptuous feast, and it was time to go home.

Before leaving, Jia She suddenly remembered something and said: "My niece always feels strange and lonely when she first comes to the capital. The two nephews are men, so they can't stay with her niece all the time. It happens that Tanchun and Daiyu are about the same age. , it’s better to let her move to the lotus courtyard and spend more time with Daiyu, so as to relieve her homesickness.”

There are also Yingchun and Xichun from Ningguo Mansion, who are also two ready-made companions. Tomorrow, I have to go to Ninghou Mansion and Jia Fu Jia Jing to discuss it.

Tanchun's eyes lit up. She is Jia Zheng's concubine daughter. Although she was brought to her side and raised by Jia's mother, she still had to make a living under Wang's nose, and her life was difficult.

The status of being a concubine has always been a pain in her heart, she is unwilling, but there is nothing she can do.She was the only girl in the Rongguo Mansion before, so the contrast was not that big, but now there is Lin Daiyu, who is so charming and pampered, and Tanchun gradually felt aggrieved.

But what if there are more injustices?She can only hold back in her heart!

But what did she hear now?Her uncle, the real owner of the Rongguo Mansion, and the de facto other owner of the Zhongrui Palace, said he wanted her to move in with the new cousin Lin?Pie in the sky, nothing more!

The benefits that Tanchun can think of, let alone Mrs. Wang.The corner of her eyes glanced at Tanchun's ready-to-move face, and she snorted secretly, would she let a concubine take advantage of such a great thing?Obviously impossible.

Just as she was about to reject Jia Amnesty's proposal, Jia's mother agreed before her.

"It's a good thing, you have a heart. However, you don't have a housewife there, and the girls don't have someone to teach. It's not a good thing. It's better to let Wang teach them housekeeping every day."

Jia Amnesty laughed, with a face full of sarcasm: "Don't, their concept of being a goddaughter of the royal family doesn't match mine. I'm afraid that when the children don't learn anything, I'll be pissed off. Besides, when it comes to housekeeping skills , Mrs. Fu was born in the Zhang family, she is the daughter-in-law of our Jia family, wouldn't it be cheaper to ask her to teach?"

The disdain for the daughter of the Wang family was vividly expressed on the face, eyes, and mouth. Wang was so angry that he fell on his head, but he was powerless to refute, and almost died of anger on the spot.

Jia Amnesty said again: "Your Majesty intends to release the nuns who have taken care of him for many years out of the palace, and some of them are restless. They want to find a good master and serve as nuns for the girls in the mansion. By the way, I will take care of the elderly. Tomorrow, I will go to the palace to ask for two nuns to take care of the children. With these people, it is enough."

After the words fell, other people were especially welcome, Tanchun's almond-shaped eyes were wide open, and he was very pleasantly surprised.Wang hates it even more!Thinking back when she was in the boudoir, the family was unable to invite the mothers in the palace to teach their sisters. Even Yuan Chun, who was invited to teach her before entering the palace, was only the mothers next to the princess of Nan'an Palace. A nanny from here?nonexistent.

Jia Tanchun is a concubine, why not! ?

Jia Mu nodded, "That's very kind." She looked at Tanchun and said, "This is your chance, don't disappoint your uncle's good intentions."

Tanchun hurriedly responded respectfully.Tanchun will not let this opportunity slip away anyway, because she cannot afford to lose.

Jia She nodded: "Both of you go back and pack your things, just pick up the important ones, and someone will take care of the rest."

Saying that, without waiting for others to say anything, he left.
