Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu deliberately wanted to hide it from the old lady, but some people couldn't bear it anymore. When they went to Jia's mother's room the next day to pay their respects, Mrs. Xing taunted Sister Feng in front of everyone.

"Old lady, although my daughter-in-law is not from an official family, she also understands some truths. The current situation in the East Mansion is very worrying. We should make early plans here. Now, no one outside knows. Only This lord——" Mrs. Xing said and made a "eight" with her fingers, "That is the first class, the future master, but our family has offended him." Mrs. Xing said again Glancing at Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu, a regretful smile appeared on his face, "That's why I was in such a hurry to build a bridge for our house? But she is careful and not transparent. This idea makes no sense." can not see clearly!"

After Mrs. Xing's words were finished, Sister Feng almost gritted her teeth. She was in despair facing Mrs. Xing in her heart. Power, but she said such things in front of the old lady, shamed herself in public, didn't it mean that she didn't promise to pay her money, because of this incident, her previous efforts to flatter her were all ignored?

After hearing this, the old lady was so angry that her hands trembled, she pointed at Mrs. Xing, and said tremblingly for a long time, "You are trying to kill yourself!"

Mrs. Xing was proudly waiting for the old lady's smile, but she waited for such a reprimand, and Mrs. Xing's face sank: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law is wholeheartedly for our Jia family..."

"That's enough, tell me, have you delivered anything to that family before, tell me!" The old lady's voice suddenly rose.

Mrs. Xing was frightened by Jiamu's tone and expression, and said stammeringly: "I haven't given you anything, just, just..."

"Okay, stop talking." Mother Jia interrupted Mrs. Xing wearily. She heard that there was something she didn't understand. She probably had a lot of contact with her before.

Mrs. Xing was so scared that she didn't dare to speak out, but she was still very unwilling. She obviously did nothing wrong. How could the old lady be so biased?

Now the official has not made a definite verdict on the matter of Ningguo Mansion, Mrs. Xing has always been ill-informed, she only knows that it is Jia Zhen who took advantage of her power to rob people's daughters, and unfortunately was hit by the censor. It was from the palace that it was reported to Prince Cheng who was in charge of confiscating the house. The news from the palace naturally reached Jia Zheng and the others through other channels, but Mrs. Xing didn't know about it.

Pushing Mrs. Xing back, Mother Jia rubbed her aching brain, looked at the silent crowd, and said slowly: "The root of the disaster has already been planted, you all talk about it, what should we do."

Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu looked at each other, and Wang Xifeng caught a glimpse of Jia Zheng's father and son's eyes from the side. He had a bad premonition in his heart, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes. Looking at the faces of the second uncle and sister-in-law, it was difficult to speak up when the matter involved his father and stepmother.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Jia Mu sighed heavily, and the atmosphere was embarrassingly depressed, "Forget it, you all go back, and let me, the old woman, worry about it myself!"

After these words were suppressed, everyone couldn't sit still. They were embarrassed, but they heard a maid's voice outside: "Xiaolu, you are going to die, come here!"

"Sister Yuanyang, yes, it was the second wife who asked me to report, saying that the old lady is in a hurry." Xiaolu's voice sounded like weeping.

"Yuanyang, let her in." The old lady said.

Jia Zheng looked towards the door, only to see a curtain lifted, and a trembling little girl in green onion-colored clothes came in from the outside, her face was pale, her eyes were a little frightened, looking at the old lady "Plop" and knelt down.

"Old lady, it's my wife who wants me to come here to deliver a message, I dare not not come." The little girl repeated these words over and over incoherently.

Both Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu saw that she was the little girl who served Mrs. Wang in the Buddhist hall.

There was no expression on Jia's mother's face, listening to the maid's stuttering, she finally said: "Yuanyang, go and invite me the second wife."

The word "please" sounded like gnashing of teeth. Up to now, Mother Jia still can't see that Mrs. Wang has tampered with this matter. Well, her daughter-in-law is getting more and more capable. Let her, an old woman, drill into it!

Jia Mu's face was gloomy, and Wang Xifeng's face was also turning blue and white. She had a very unfavorable thought in her heart. Aunt, could she be thinking... No, it's impossible, the old lady will never allow it. of.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang came. Seeing everyone in the family who could talk was there, except Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang's eyes flashed a smugness. She expected it to be right. Her sister-in-law is really There are enough stupid ones.

"Pearl, don't let your mother sit down yet." The old lady said nonchalantly.

Both Jia Zhu and Li Wan stood up and gave up their seats, and Mrs. Wang sat down without giving way.

"Old lady, at this time, if you want to avoid disaster, it's better to separate the family. The older one is better than the older one, and the second one is better than the second one. If the old lady is willing, our second wife will naturally respect you well and won't fall into the trap." The glory of the Rongguo Mansion since the Duke of the Kingdom." Mrs. Wang said straightforwardly.

Wang Xifeng's face turned pale in an instant. It really was a separation. After the separation, she, the daughter-in-law of the big house, would have no reason to continue to take charge of the Rongguo Mansion. With the old lady's preference for the second uncle and brother Zhu, Will this Rongguo Mansion still belong to their big house?

After hearing this, Mother Jia laughed: "Okay, okay, okay, we drove away Miss Feng and the second girl, and left me, the old woman who will not live long, and Zhu'er's daughter-in-law for you to handle."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head: "The daughter-in-law dare not, the old lady thinks too much, the daughter-in-law is just discussing the matter."

Jia's mother held a breath in her chest, so angry that the old lady's liver hurt: "Okay, you..." The old lady didn't come up, and passed out.

"Old lady!" Everyone was in a mess. Jia Zheng hurriedly called for the imperial physician. Before the imperial physician arrived, Jia's mother woke up first. As soon as she opened her eyes, everyone surrounded her. Jia's mother only felt a buzzing in her ears. There was a buzzing sound, and he waved his hands weakly: "You all go, all of you, Yuanyang, come in, you all go."

Mother Jia waved her arms obstinately. Jia Zheng and the others had no choice but to retreat. In the courtyard, Jia Zheng glanced at Mrs. Wang coldly, then turned and went back to Rongxi Hall. Jia Zhu sighed and hesitated to speak. After hesitating for a moment, she also dragged Li Wan away. Yingchun bit her lip and led Si Qi to wait at the door of Jia's mother's room. Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang looked at each other with amusement.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's pale face, Mrs. Wang twitched her lips, sneered, and ignored it. Wang Xifeng knew that this was not the time to argue, so she had no choice but to swallow her breath, turned around and took Ping'er back to her yard.

After returning to the room, Wang Xifeng was trembling with anger. In order to deal with the bad debts of the Jia Mansion, how many people she had offended and how much effort she had spent, she finally finally thought of various ways slowly. Now the Jia Mansion is not only It's not at a loss, and it's gradually becoming more relaxed. At this juncture, Mrs. Wang stepped in, hum, split the family, who will be in charge of the second room after the separation?How many years can the old lady be her home? !If the old lady goes in the future, she will not be the biggest Mrs. Wang!All that she has done will be taken away by Mrs. Wang effortlessly, how can Wang Xifeng be so angry that she wants to swallow Mrs. Wang!

Wang Xifeng was angry when Jia Lian came in from the outside, still holding something in his hand and humming a little song.

Thinking that he was working hard for this family, but he was at ease, humming a tune, Wang Xifeng angrily gouged out Jia Lian's eyes, but saw that he was holding a rough-looking concentric knot in his hand, Wang Xifeng's face was swollen All of a sudden more gloomy.

"What's in your hand?" Such a rough thing doesn't look worth much, and it was definitely not bought by Jia Lian, so there is only one possibility, "Look at it, Ping'er, it's a waste of all your time." Good needle and thread, our second master Lian doesn't care much, but the bad ones outside!"

Jia Lian's expression darkened when he heard this: "What are you talking about? This belongs to my second uncle!"

Wang Xifeng was taken aback, reached out and took it over, and looked at it several times, never expecting that Jia Zheng, who usually looks quite ascetic, would have such a thing.

What's this?Wang Xifeng carefully looked at the words engraved on it, and murmured in his heart, "Xi" is not a name that a girl can get. Wait, Wang Xifeng looked up at Jia Lian: "Since it belongs to the second uncle, why is it in your hands?" Didn't I get cheated by him again?Wang Xifeng narrowed his eyes.

Jia Lian's eyes lit up as soon as he heard it, he laughed, and gossipingly said to Wang Xifeng: "My former son bet with a friend..."

Since Sister Feng no longer took care of Jia Lian, Jia Lian suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. A while ago, he was really afraid of being taken care of by this wife. Seeing her change now, he thought it was because he had neglected her a while ago. I was so scared, I was proud of it for a long time, and my old ways reverted, and I started to hang out with my friends again and started drinking, listening to music, and looking for girls. On this day, after drinking for three rounds, this group of people started to talk, and this topic became more and more serious. Going down the road, it finally got to the erotic picture.

One of them asked: "You tell me, which man doesn't have one or two collections of erotic pictures in his room?"

The other person glanced at Jia Lian, and smiled: "Don't tell me, maybe there is no one, and there is one in the Rongguo Mansion of Lian's second master!"

Jia Lian's eyes widened when he heard this: "Who is it? Why don't I know?"

The man smiled wretchedly and said: "Your political lords don't want to lift up, so why do you want erotic pictures?"

Jia Lian felt unreasonable when he heard it: "It's not that my second uncle has always refused to raise it. Maybe it happened in the past. What you said is so unreasonable!"

Another person also said: "That's right, I heard that the politician is very noble, Mr. Taoist, how could there be such a thing!"

The man didn't do it even after listening to it: "Damn, the more you are a Taoist, the more you love this tune!"

The two groups argued endlessly, and in the end they made a bet that Jia Lian would never have such a thing in support of his second uncle, and volunteered to visit Rongxi Hall at night, so Jia Lian, who was miserable, searched for Jia Zheng. After going around the study room, I found a very hidden small box.

After opening it, it was not a picture of the erotic palace. Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought, he must have something as evidence, otherwise what should they do if they don't believe that he really visited the Rongxi Hall at night?Ever since, Jia Lian took the concentric knot away.

After listening to Jia Lian's abbreviated narration, Sister Feng narrowed her eyes and casually asked, "Bet? Where can you bet?"

Jia Lian was proud of herself, so she casually said, "Wanhualou."

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Jia Lian knew it was not good. He was short of money recently, and he was thinking that Sister Guan Feng wanted some money to use.

Sister Feng sneered, it really is that a dog can't get rid of eating shit, that's all, she doesn't care about him now, she will settle the score later, although she has seen Jia Lian's virtues clearly, it doesn't mean that she can indulge him unconditionally, what? The smelly smell dares to be contaminated!

But... Sister Feng was thinking about Jia Lian's description just now. In Jia Zheng's study, it was hidden very hidden and put in a box. Wang Xifeng was thinking about the engraved word "白". Living.

No way, impossible, although he was his master, but they... the more Sister Feng thinks about it, the more she thinks it is possible, and when she sees that Jia Lian is going to take this thing out as evidence, she immediately feels There was a chill on his neck.

"You should return this thing to the second uncle." Wang Xifeng relaxed her tone as much as possible, "Now that the family is about to be separated, why do you still have the heart to bet, the old lady doesn't want to see our room, you bet If this matter spreads, it will poke a hornet's nest, and there will be no chance of getting a dime."

This money is Jia Lian's Achilles' heel. When he heard about the separation, Jia Lian was stunned: "What? We want to split up? Why, we are the first wife, even if we split up, their second wife will go out!"

Jia Lian understood this truth clearly, and it was because of this that he dared to be so confident. Seeing Jia Zhu desperately going to take the imperial examination, Jia Lian snickered for a long time in his heart, maybe it was because he was the second wife, so he asked for it. Are you so desperate!

"Why? Just rely on the old lady's words! Brother Zhen is no longer the patriarch, and the old lady has the highest seniority. If the old lady said something, who else in the clan would dare to refute it? What's more..." Wang Xifeng sneered: "Second Uncle and Big Brother Zhu are both of high status now, and people in the clan will still speak for your grandson?"

Jia Lian also felt bad when he heard it. The lightheartedness of humming a ditty just now has long since disappeared. Jia Lian is also shrewd. Before he got married, his father was a man who didn't care about worldly affairs, and Jia Zhu was focused on his official career. Well, Jia Zheng only started to manage the house when he was dismissed from office. He has always been the head of the Rongguo Mansion.

Although he is very dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng's management of him, Jia Lian is also very aware of his wife's ability. Now the Rongguo Mansion seems to be managed by their husband and wife. At least before the death of Jia Mu, there would never be such a thing as a separation. Now the old lady is in a strong body, and she has a ten-year job at least. During these ten years, he and Wang Xifeng have socialized inside and out. Even if it's the day of separation, the second room will go out.

Jia Lian looked at the sympathetic knot in his hand, and made a small calculation in his heart. Seeing how much his second uncle cherished it, maybe this time he took a trick by mistake!

Thinking of this, Jia Lian turned and walked towards Rongxi Hall.

Jia Zheng never dreamed that this thing would be taken away by Jia Lian, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Naturally, Jia Lian would not be stupid to tell Jia Zheng about the bet. Jia Zheng also knew that even if he asked Jia Lian now, Jia Lian would not. To be honest, both of them selectively ignored the cause of the incident, and Jia Zheng said directly, "You came to me because you wanted to exchange it for me. After all, what do you want?"

Jia Lian handed the knot back to Jia Zheng, and said with a smile, "What the second uncle said is that the nephew just returned it to the original owner."

"?" Jia Zheng looked at Jia Lian with a half-smile.

Jia Lian smiled shyly, and continued: "Second Uncle now holds real power, and Big Brother Zhu also has a bright future, and in the future he will also be a Marquis and Prime Minister. Maybe after this day, our family will lose the Ningguo Mansion, and there will be more people." Maybe it’s even possible to enter a Hou’s mansion?”

Jia Zheng was slightly surprised when he heard this, looked up at Jia Lian, and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean, it's always been the rule for the eldest son to inherit the family business, how could your second uncle and I break the rule? "

Jia Lian didn't expect Jia Zheng to agree so readily, and was a little surprised. Although he was a little bit guilty, Jia Lian knew that Jia Zheng didn't need to lie to himself.

Jia Zheng really thought so. Isn't this Rongguo Mansion what Mrs. Wang wants?Well, he will not let her be proud, and the family will be separated when the family is divided. Who can say no to the eldest son and grandson inheriting the family business? The ancestral house in Jinling has already been taken care of, and Suzhou Qiang'er has also quietly set up a house. Industry, the only obstacle now is probably the old lady. Jia Zheng knew in his heart that Jia's mother would never rest assured that he would teach Rongguo Mansion to Jia Amnesty. She would never want to see Rongguo Mansion destroyed like Ningguo Mansion !

However, Jia Zheng understands that if he doesn't give up now, it will be too late when he wants to give up in the future.

Separation is imperative.

It's just that Mrs. Wang is doomed to be disappointed. Jia Zheng sends Jia Lian away and turns to look for Jia Zhu.
