Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

Seeing Mrs. Xing asking about Jia Lian's marriage one after another, Jia's mother said impatiently: "Okay, I said that I have already found a girl for Lian'er. What are you so anxious about?"

"Daughter-in-law doesn't seem to be at ease in her heart. Please ask the old lady to give you a letter." Madam Xing could also see that Jia's mother was impatient, but she continued to ask with a smile.

Mother Jia nodded, and turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang: "In September, I was busy preparing for Yuan girl's wedding, but I forgot Feng girl's birthday. You, an aunt, don't remind me."

Mrs. Wang was not at ease with Aunt Zhao's matter, she suddenly saw that Jia's mother suddenly mentioned her nephew Wang Xifeng, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The old lady didn't mention it, but the daughter-in-law forgot to plead guilty." For girl Feng's birthday on the second day of September, I prepared two gifts for her, one for the daughter-in-law and one for the old lady."

"You still have a delicate mind. What is this called an apology? It should be rewarded!" Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, and then caught a glimpse of Aunt Zhao's proud eyes and brows beside her, and snorted in her heart.

"It's just that the old lady suddenly asked about Feng girl..." Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Xing who didn't know why, and then at Mrs. Jia, her heart skipped a beat.

Then Mother Jia said to Mrs. Xing: "You have seen that Feng girl from your brother and sister's family. I mean, I want to marry her in for Lian'er, but this Feng girl is only 11 years old and is too young. Lian'er has to wait a few more years."

Mrs. Xing was taken aback, she was surprised and happy in her heart, but she couldn't tell what it was like. If you talk about Wang Xifeng's family background, you have nothing to choose. The Wang family is also a rich family comparable to the Jia family. Wang Ziteng, compared with Li Wan, this daughter-in-law is much more noble!

However, this Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's niece after all. If Jia Lian is really allowed to marry into the door, wouldn't she be more alienated from Mrs. Wang's side?

But now that Mother Jia had spoken, Mrs. Xing knew that she had no choice but to nod in agreement even if she objected.

After returning to her own room, Mrs. Xing was fidgeting and pacing back and forth on the ground, the handkerchief in her hand was wrung out of shape, and the maids in the room didn't say anything when they saw her, and just kept adding tea. Mrs. Xing drank a few sips of tea, calmed down a little, and thought about this matter carefully.

In the final analysis, my wife is the eldest son of the eldest son. Even if the family is separated in the future, Mrs. Wang and the others will move out.

This Feng girl is married to Jia Lian, she is the daughter-in-law of her own house, so whoever she is, she has to marry her husband and obey her husband.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing began to think about Wang Xifeng's temperament again. She only saw her twice. Once, when Wang Ziteng and his wife went to Beijing to report on their duties, Jia Mu hosted a banquet. I also met Mrs. Wang Ziteng once when I was talking to him. She is an extremely neat child, and it must be much better with Li Wan, that boring gourd!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help thinking, this Wang Xifeng is Mrs. Wang's niece, and Mrs. Wang will definitely let her help the housekeeper after she gets married. By then, her daughter-in-law will be able to fight against Li Wan in court!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing felt a little more at ease, and called the girl next to her to ask Jia Lian to come.

Not long after, Jia Lian came, and when she saw Mrs. Xing, she bowed her head and called respectfully, "Mother."

Mrs. Xing asked him to sit down with a smile on her face, then told him about the marriage, and finally sighed and said: "I have wronged you, you are 14 years old this year, but you have to wait for that Feng girl for another four years. "

When Jia Lian heard this, she didn't feel wronged. Instead, she said that it was good. It turned out that Jia She was a lustful and hungry ghost. Now that she is not young, she is still married by a girl and an aunt. Jia Lian has never been guarded since she was a child. Look, the nephews and nephews of the side branches of Jia's mansion, who have those dandy habits, in order to please him and get more rewards, all pull him to stay in Huajie today and tomorrow's restaurant to listen to music. Jia Lian is not very old, but he has a relationship with his father. Fighting - it's just that I don't have as much money as his father, so I'm much more restrained.

It so happened that a pig friend and dog friend who played with him these few days married his wife. When he was a matchmaker, he heard that the other party was a virtuous and virtuous woman, but who knew that he married a tigress when he returned home. He even joked about this with other friends. As for people, I don't want to marry a wife as soon as possible in my heart, so I am restrained.

At this time, I heard that it would take four years to get married, Jia Lian was very happy.

On the other side, Mrs. Wang explained some meaning to her brother and sister-in-law according to Jia's mother's instructions. Mrs. Wang Ziteng naturally heard the meaning behind Mrs. Wang's words, and she also dealt with it vaguely. When Wang Ziteng came back at night After that, discuss this matter with your husband in detail.

What the lady meant was that Jia Lian is now 14 years old, but he has never heard of any fame, let alone his temper, and he is afraid that his daughter will marry someone who is not human.

Wang Ziteng is naturally more aware of external affairs than his wife, but he thinks more than his wife. Now that Jia She's house is in decline, but after all, he is the son and grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, and he will become a noble in the future, even if there is nothing Fame is absolutely indispensable for wealth and honor, not to mention that my younger sister is still the housekeeper's wife in the house. My daughter can help my younger sister after marrying, and secondly, I won't be alienated from the Jia family because of the incident in Yuanchun last time.

Hearing Wang Ziteng's analysis, Madam has nothing to say. Doesn't she understand her own daughter's temperament?He is competitive. If he marries into another family, even though he has a better family background than Jia Lian, he will be angry. The mother-in-law above Jia Lian's house is the second wife. Well, the housekeeper's wife is her aunt, who can make her angry?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang Ziteng was also happy, and visited Jia Mu the next day.

This marriage is so settled.

Mrs. Xing has her own plans in her heart, and Mrs. Wang is the same. This Feng girl is her niece, and she knows her temper better. Take care of the house.And the old lady also likes this kind of temper. When she enters the house in the future, she will have to let her take care of the house together.

On one side was his daughter-in-law Li Wan, and on the other was his nephew Wang Xifeng. Mrs. Wang pondered for a while, with a sneer on her face.

What the old lady meant was that she felt that she had been sitting in the housekeeper's wife's seat for too long!

Mrs. Wang's thought is serious, that's what Jia's mother meant. Although she doesn't like Mrs. Xing, she prefers more second rooms, but seeing that Jia Zheng's official career is getting better and better, and Jia Zhu is motivated, she will be divided in the future. After leaving the house, there is no need to worry about the second room. Looking back at the first room, the old lady's stomach hurts.

With Jia She's temperament and Mrs. Xing's temper, even if they leave mountains of gold and silver, they will be defeated by these two couples!Looking at Jia Lian again, he is also a disappointment, and he is really not the same as Zhu'er.

The old lady became anxious when she thought of this, this Jia She has taken the title of Duke Rong after all, and he is the son of the Rongguo Mansion, so this will not work!It's just that Jia Amnesty is already at such an age, and it's too late for further education. Mother Jia couldn't help but set her sights on Jia Lian.

Although this Lian'er is not advanced, if he marry a stronger wife who can help control him and be a housekeeper, it will be perfect!

Looking left and right, Jia's mother fell in love with Wang Xifeng, she likes this girl's straightforwardness, and the Wang family is a well-known family and the Jia family is well-established, so she is not afraid that Jia Lian will dare to bully this daughter-in-law.

Besides, Mother Jia looked at her coldly. This Mrs. Wang is a good daughter-in-law who is thoughtful, but in recent years she has gradually become a little too big. But she still doesn't want her daughter-in-law to take away her undisputed status in this family. Mrs. Xing can't do it, but this Feng girl is a good person.

Although Li Wan's personality is a bit docile, but after all, he came from a family of poetry and calligraphy, and he is also reasonable and considerate. With Feng girl, one is gentle and generous, and the other is vigorous and resolute. I am partial to the second room.

In this way, it not only found a way out for the big house, but also emptied Mrs. Wang's rights to achieve a balance of power between the two houses. Jia's mother felt very comfortable, and she couldn't wait to let Wang Xifeng enter the house earlier.

I was in a good mood, but I heard the girl hurried over and reported that the East Mansion was in a mess.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Li Wan all came to Jiamu's place. When they heard that there was something going on in the East Mansion, they immediately understood that the wife of the East Mansion had just given birth to a child the year before last. Once when Jia Jing went back to the manor to offer sacrifices during the Chinese New Year, she became pregnant again. Counting the days, it was time to give birth.

Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang to go to Dongfu to help Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law. Soon after Mrs. Wang left, she sent a message saying that the wife of Dongfu was probably not well.

Sure enough, after a day and a night of tossing around, someone from the East Mansion said that the wife had given birth to a baby girl, and just took a look at it before dying.

Mother Jia was sad for a while, and asked someone to find a nanny, ordered two more maids, and then asked people from Dongfu to go over there and call Jia Zhen.

As soon as Jia Zhen heard that Jia's mother wanted to raise her younger sister herself, she hurriedly agreed, and then Jia's mother asked Jia Zhen if she had sent someone to tell Jia Jing. Jia Zhen hurriedly said that she had sent someone, but her father said , I don't need to look for him again in the secular world, just let myself watch and clean up the funeral.

As soon as Jia's mother heard it, she was very angry, but she couldn't blame her father in front of Jia Zhen, so she ordered someone to take out 500 taels of silver from her cabinet and hand it to Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen never thought that she could still get money, and the tears on her face that died for her mother hadn't dried yet, and she immediately beamed with joy. Seeing him like this, Jia's mother really hated him, so she hurriedly sent him away.

Not long after, the newborn sister was brought over, and the nanny and girl prepared by Jia's mother hurried up to pick up her. Jia's mother named her Xichun, and she lived in the Bisha closet for the time being. Baoyu saw an extra baby The younger sister also leaned forward to look curiously, and asked why the younger sister was so small.

Seeing Baoyu's little face full of curiosity, Li Nanny couldn't help laughing and said, "My brother grew up like this when I was young."

Baoyu became even more curious, and pointed to her nose: "I was a little older before?"

Seeing that Baoyu liked Xichun very much, Jia's mother was also very happy, and asked the experienced Nanny Li to help Xichun's nanny take care of her, and Li Nanny repeatedly agreed.

At this time, Mrs. Wang said to Jia Mu: "A few days ago, Wang Lian's family came to me and said that they wanted to ask the old lady's girl, Miss Xi, to be her son's wife. I haven't agreed yet. I have been busy these days. I also forgot, I just remembered today when I saw the old lady gave Miss Xi to Miss Si as her maid."

When Jia Mu heard this, she thought about the girls around her, who were almost all of age, and nodded: "It's time for a new batch of girls to come in, and Baoyu has to choose a few girls, and some girls also want to go to school. Choose, the big ones, the ones that should be released, and the ones that should be matched with brats."

Mrs. Wang nodded and didn't mention it since she went to do it.

Besides, Aunt Zhao, after getting two maids and a nanny in her room, she became more and more angry. She felt that it was right to keep a brother by her side, and her words were a little sloppy, but she didn't know the two The maids were all sent by the old lady, and Mother Jia knew what she said. A few days later, when Jia Zheng came to pay his respects to Mother Jia, Mother Jia told Jia Zheng all these things. listen.

"It's good for you to feel sorry for Huan'er, but some people can't be coddled. We are a rich family, and you are also a scholar. Why do you become more and more confused when you get older? Let me tell you, if I live for a day, this concubine will die." Don't think about your wife! If you really push me, I will take your wife, Zhu's wife, and Baoyu back to their hometown in Nanjing!"

On the way to Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng lowered his head, with a complex expression on his face. He was thinking that Baoyu was his son, and Jia Huan was also his son. It's great to have a harmonious life, but now after listening to Jia's mother's words, I know that I am too idealistic.

The next day, Jia Zheng was also thinking about these troublesome things in a restless state. Hong Xi saw that he had something on his mind. After asking, Jia Zheng said all these things, and when he finished talking, he was surprised. Why do you feel confused again?How could he talk to Hong Xi about this kind of family matter?Just as she was about to tell Hongxi not to take it to heart, Hongxi sneered, "What's so difficult about it? It's worth your restlessness?"
