Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

Chapter 5 Journey to Luoyang and Jia Zhu falls ill

Mrs. Wang looked coldly at Aunt Zhao's unwavering face, and sneered even more in her heart. The next day, when she and Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu greeted Jia's mother, Jia's mother also gave some important words, and then sent someone from the Lin family The person who sent the letter said a few words, and sent everyone away.

Mrs. Wang first helped Jiamu back to the yard, and Yuanchun took Yingchun, who had just recovered from illness, to her boudoir to talk.

After returning to Jiamu’s Courtyard, Mrs. Wang first said something else, then paused slightly and said: “Old lady, Aunt Zhao just got pregnant, but the master left again. I don’t know when he will come back. I'm afraid I can't cope with the family affairs. Yesterday I heard from the maid in my aunt's room that the doctor invited by my aunt's old lady confirmed that my aunt's baby is a brother. One or two experienced maids will take care of Auntie." Mrs. Wang's words were extremely beautiful, and the old lady felt that Mrs. Wang was more virtuous after hearing this, and then she was a little dissatisfied with Aunt Zhao.

Doctors in the family have always been invited from the imperial hospital. Why, your Aunt Zhao still can't trust the imperial doctor Mrs. Wang invited you?Cooperating with you is thinking in your heart that your child will be calculated by others!Furthermore, Mother Jia's eyes flashed, and she said, "Does the master know?"

"The master was busy yesterday, so my daughter-in-law didn't tell him, and he wasn't in my aunt's room yesterday, so I don't think he knew." Mrs. Wang replied honestly, deliberately showing a little doubt.

Seeing the puzzlement in Mrs. Wang's eyes, Mother Jia smiled and said, "I, as a mother, can also see his temper. He is serious, but he is old-fashioned, but now he is good. Taking Zhu'er out to see the world, and walking around among relatives, especially now that he is much closer to children than before, at this juncture, I don't want anyone to worry about him."

Mrs. Wang also laughed when she heard the words: "It's because the ancestors were thoughtful, and the daughter-in-law was still worried just now, for fear that people would say that the daughter-in-law did not tell the master on purpose." After that, she still looked aggrieved.

Mother Jia smiled more comfortably, and at this time someone came to report that Mrs. Xing had come to pay her respects. Mother Jia accepted the smile on her face, and at this time Mrs. Xing had already entered.

Seeing the flattering face of her eldest daughter-in-law, Jia's mother felt a little unhappy. It stands to reason that even if she filled the house, she was still a decent daughter-in-law, but at that time she was worried about the quality of this new daughter-in-law The management of the government is indeed good, not to mention that in terms of family background and status, the Wang family and the Jia family are well-matched.But the rules are there, as younger siblings, Mrs. Wang still can't overwhelm Mrs. Xing. At that time, I was also thinking, if this Mrs. Xing is a good one, I will ask the eldest room to take care of the second room to help, the family and everything Xing, that would be great.

But Mrs. Xing disappointed her so much. Even if she was filling in the house, she had to come to her mother-in-law to set the rules, but she came later than the second room every time. In addition, it was up to the boss Zuo Na to marry the second wife. It's shameful for an aunt to accept a concubine. She wanted to find someone to restrain him, but who would have thought that Mrs. Xing was weak and didn't work at all. She became a good old man in front of the boss. Why don't you let her be the housekeeper!The second daughter-in-law is better, as expected, girls from big families are different!

Thinking of this, Mother Jia thought of her own girls. Sure enough, it was right to let the girls learn some words and read some books!Look at Yuanchun, how reassuring and likeable it is!

"Old ancestor, my daughter-in-law heard that the ancestor and his younger siblings are choosing a wife for Zhu'er?" Mrs. Xing said with an apologetic smile.

Mother Jia's eyebrows twitched, and she immediately guessed the reason for Madam Xing's visit: "Think about it, it's time to find a girl of the right age for Lian'er."

Mrs. Xing was overjoyed when she heard the news, her ears were numb when she heard about the Erfang picking a daughter-in-law. She heard those maids say that the daughter-in-law that the Erfang chose for Jia Zhu had no family background, she was good-looking, and her character was first-class. Mrs. Xing was even more unhappy. Originally, she married into Jia's mansion as a second wife. Her natal family background was not as good as that of her younger siblings, Mrs. Wang. Yes, but she can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, only she knows, and the old lady doesn't like it.

But there is a good saying, marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother. On the other hand, if you can win over Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, are you afraid that this son will not treat himself as filial as his own mother?No matter how you look at it, Jia Lian is the legitimate eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Zhu is nothing!Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing couldn't wait to choose a wife for Jia Lian!

"The daughter-in-law is not Lian'er's biological mother. A daughter-in-law doesn't dare to decide on such a big matter as marriage. It's up to the old lady to make up her mind." After Mrs. Xing finished speaking, Jia's mother became even more unhappy.

She just hates Mrs. Xing. Even her stepmother is a decent wife. It is right to be low-key and cautious, but she degrades herself to such an extent in everything. Who do you expect to look up to you?

Mrs. Wang watched from the side, like a mirror in her heart, why, Mrs. Xing, you are no match for my Mrs. Wang, and now you want to marry Jia Lian a better wife than Zhuer to overwhelm me, don't you?You're right!

The old lady in Jia's mansion had her own ideas, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing competed with each other, but Jia Zheng's side was not so tense, but full of interest. It's all fresh, Jia Zhu is young and has never been out of the capital, this is the first time he has left home, how can he not be excited?The two of them held the curtain of the carriage and watched for a long time. When they were tired, the two sat in the carriage and stared at each other. Jia Zheng's original prestige was still there. , Jia Zheng was thinking of something to say to ease the atmosphere, and suddenly thought of seeing a girl he had never seen next to Jia's mother this morning.

"Hey, Pearl, who was that girl next to the old lady when we left the mansion today?" Jia Zheng asked.

Jia Zhu replied respectfully: "It's the second sister who welcomes the spring, and the uncle is born."

Jia Zheng understood, he was the second one in the original sigh, that Jia Yingchun who had the most cowardly personality, now he has seen all the other three springs except Xichun!I don't know if Xichun is born now.

"There are only three girls in our Jia family?" Jia Zheng couldn't help asking when he thought of this.

Jia Zhu pondered for a while and said, "Master Jing's wife in the East Mansion was pregnant with a child when Lord Jing returned home to pay respects to ancestors in the first year of the year, and it's been five months now. I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

After Jia Zheng heard it, he knew that Xichun hadn't been born yet!Jia Zheng felt that Jia Zhu was more restrained and the atmosphere was more embarrassing, and Jia Zhu was the same, for fear that something he said was wrong and his father would reprimand him again.

With this depressed mood, coupled with the unacceptable climate, Jia Zhu fell ill when he arrived in Luoyang.

Jia Zheng originally thought that Jia Zhu did not look sickly and weak, but at this time he really felt the frailty of the child for the first time. It is understandable to think about it. In modern times, although 13 or 4-year-old children I also have to go to school, but which boy is not like a monkey. The university where I work often sees junior and senior high school children playing basketball and football in the stadium. Each school also organizes various competitions, but here, all day long Studying in the school and in his own study is Jia Zhu's entire life. In this environment, it is difficult to be healthy!

Coupled with the diet of Jia’s mansion, Jia Zheng saw that Lin Daiyu was not used to the diet of Jia’s mansion when he was reading a book, and thought that she was indeed a troubled and sick sister Lin, who was too delicate, but when he experienced it himself When Jia's mansion ate every day, he immediately had a deep understanding. Even an old man like him in his previous life felt that the food in Jia's mansion was too greasy and sweet!If you eat this kind of food for a long time, it will be strange for your health!

Seeing Jia Zhu being fed bowl after bowl of medicine that smelled so bitter in the dark, Jia Zheng thought to himself that it was not a good idea to always take medicine like this. In the future, Jia Zhu’s life will be killed because of this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause. You know, the medicine is three-point poisonous. In modern times, the thousand-year-old secret recipe of traditional Chinese medicine is used every day without toxic side effects, but anyone who understands knows that this is nonsense. !

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng thought of Jia Zhu's trembling these past few days, and realized that this might also be one of the reasons for the child's illness. He had a plan in his heart, so Jia Zheng called the woman who delivered the letter from the Lin family and asked them to go first. He rushed back to Suzhou with the people from Jia's mansion, and rushed there by himself in Luoyang to accompany Jia Zhu to recuperate from his illness.

Naturally, the Lin family had no objection, but the people in Jia's house were concerned about Mrs. Wang's and Jia's mother's orders but refused to leave. Follow the people from the Lin family.

Jia Zhu felt even more depressed after knowing that the others had left and only Jia Zheng was left to recuperate with him. He was dragging others down!Jia Zheng saw that Jia Zhu was uncomfortable, so he smiled and said, "I was thinking of sending them away first. We are not in a hurry to go to your aunt's place. This Luoyang is the famous Heyang Dingding Land. It is the ancient capital of many dynasties, and it is also a place where celebrities from all over the world gather, I want to take you to stay here for a few more days and have a good time."

When Jia Zhu heard this, his eyes lit up. Of course he also wanted to play, but when Jia Zhu remembered that he was still sick, he felt a little sad again, and said cowardly: "It's all my fault, if I'm not sick..."

"Although it is to recover from illness, it is not a solution to lie in the house all the time. Maybe going out and walking around will help you recover faster." Jia Zheng interrupted Jia Zhu. When Jia Zhu heard that she could go out, her mood immediately changed. It was a little bit more pleasant, and people looked a lot more energetic.

"Tomorrow is May 25th. It's the time when peonies are in full bloom. I asked the doctor who came to see the doctor. There will be a peony flower party tomorrow. Let's go and see it together. You should rest well tonight!" Jia Zheng I was also happy to see Jia Zhu regained energy.

Hearing that he was going to see Peony tomorrow, Jia Zhu nodded repeatedly. This night, Jia Zhu slept the most soundly and peacefully since he went out.
