The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

When Daiyu went to Jia's mansion to express her condolences, she also saw Li Lin and Xichun, but she didn't say much, just nodded.

After Jia's mother passed away, Li Lin and Xichun must return to Jia's mansion, but they are not the juniors of Jia's mother's direct lineage.

Mrs. Wang is because the two have always lived in the Zhuangzi sent by Daiyu, and she dislikes them in every possible way, and wants to pick on them. Can't be deployed well.

Jia's mother is dead, and the Jia family is destined to separate. The Jia family is the eldest family of Xijue, so how can the second family be allowed to ride on their heads?Wang Xifeng even stopped listening to Mrs. Wang from a very early age.

The relationship between Li Lin, Xichun and Daiyu eased, which Wang Xifeng was happy to see, and naturally it was good for these two girls.When the Jia family has not yet separated, Mrs. Wang's actions are likely to be regarded as the standpoint of the entire Jia family, so Wang Xifeng is determined not to ask Mrs. Wang to offend Li Lin and Xichun thoroughly. As a challenge to Prince Chengke's mansion, the current Jia family can't afford it.

Mrs. Wang was suppressed by Jia Mu for most of her life, and now the mountain above her head has been moved away, but she didn't feel at ease at all, because when Jia Mu was there, for Jia Baoyu's sake, even if her mother's family lost power, but In the mansion, she is still the second wife who is respected by everyone, unlike now, who is restrained by Wang Xifeng.

But she can't help it, the current mansion is no longer the world of their second wife.Thinking of the days after the separation, Mrs. Wang felt flustered, and Mother Jia was in a hurry at the time, and she didn't have time to deal with her private house. How many.

Sure enough, after Jia Mu's funeral was over, Jia Amnesty invited the elders of the clan and Jia Zhen, the head of the clan, to ask for a separation.

This is what should be done, and everyone quickly divided up the family property according to the rules.

Jia's mansion was naturally inherited by Jia Shen. Jia's mother's private house and Jia's property and property were divided into [-]% to Jia Zheng's second wife, and Jia Shen inherited the rest.

Jia Mu's private house is managed by mandarin ducks, and it was originally planned to be left to Jia Baoyu, but how shrewd is Wang Xifeng?After Jia's mother passed away, she took control of Yuanyang's family and forced Yuanyang to hand over all of Jia's mother's private houses. Well, even the strictest old man in the clan has nothing to say about Dafang's move.

Although Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing were in pain, they were finally persuaded by Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng. If Jia Zheng's life was too bad, the people in the clan would inevitably be suspicious of Da Fang. It is really unwise to make a small loss and make a big mistake.

As for the property that originally belonged to the Li family, due to Li Ran's inaction and Li Lin's helplessness over the years, it has already been included in the Jia family's private treasury one after another. Now, although some members of the clan have noticed something is wrong, Li Ran has become a monk Moreover, Li Lin doesn't live in Jia's house, and a girl can't give birth to any resistance. Naturally, no one made this matter clear, and they all acquiesced.

After Li Lin knew about it, she just sneered and prepared to go back to live in Zhuangzi after Jiamu's hundred days. After living in Jia's house for these few days, she could feel more and more how comfortable it is to be in Zhuangzi.

After Jia Zheng separated, he bought a three-entry house not far from Ningrong Street, with a total of five courtyards, large and small, which was naturally incomparable with the original Jia's.But now that they are separated, Zhuangzi and the shop don't have much income, so naturally they can't be extravagant.What's more, their population is small now. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang live in the main courtyard, Li Wan and Jia Lan live in the same courtyard, Jia Baoyu lives in the same courtyard, Zhao Auntie and Jia Huan live in the same courtyard, and there is still a guest courtyard left. , is enough.

There are too many brothers who have separated because of the old man's death. It is nothing special for the Jia family to be like this.

It's just that the movement of Jia Zheng and the others when they moved house was eye-catching, all because they not only moved a lot of things, but also moved a lot of people. Just the beautiful maid in Jia Baoyu's room had ten There were so many of them that they sat in three or four carriages, but there were not many daughters-in-law and mother-in-law.

Naturally, he was reluctant to part with the maids in Jia Baoyu's room. Although Mrs. Wang felt that it was not worth raising so many beautiful maids who could not do much rough work, she couldn't resist Jia Baoyu crying and begging her, so she had to take them away first. , It's not that there is no dark thought in my heart, such a beautiful and well-trained maid, if she takes it away, it can be regarded as their second wife's private property, so don't take it for nothing.

When Wang Xifeng saw that Mrs. Wang wanted to take away these many maids, she was not unwilling, so she only left more daughters-in-law and mother-in-law, and let her take away all the beautiful maids Mrs. Wang liked.Jia's family is going from bad to worse now. She originally planned to lay off so many servants. The daughter-in-law and mother-in-law have been trained and disciplined, and they can still do some rough work. Jia Lian's maid is not so easy to manage, and she is too beautiful, prone to accidents, Jia Lian is really not a temperament that people can rest assured.Those restless daughters-in-law, Jia Lian will get involved as soon as he gets involved, but these maids, if he is really tempted to put them in the room, he will really be blocked.The second sister You, who gave birth to a concubine's eldest son, was already a thorn in Wang Xifeng's heart that couldn't be removed, so naturally she didn't want to get another one.

After all, the daughters-in-law and mother-in-law have more life experience than the maids, so they are naturally very happy to stay in Jia's mansion. They are very clear about going out with the second room, I'm afraid life will not be so easy.

The maids in Jia Baoyu's room had no choice, and Wang Xifeng said that she would not keep any of them. The other beautiful maids whom Mrs. Wang liked, whether they wanted it or not, Wang Xifeng was willing to give it to Mrs. Wang, and they had no room to resist.

When I arrived at Jia Zheng's house, because there were few women in the house, these maids had to do rough work, making the green onion and jade fingers rough. If they complained for a while, Mrs. Wang knew about it, and immediately found a wrong place to sell it. .The maids from such rich families are highly respected outside, and they are all extremely beautiful, so the selling price is considered high.If it was the original Jia family, they would naturally look down on the money. For the sake of a good reputation, they would have to pay some money without the deed. Now it is completely unworkable for Mrs. Wang's place, not only all the private houses they saved before were confiscated Next, it doesn't matter which prostitute they are sold to, and where they are then sold to.

After a long time, Jia Baoyu suddenly realized that there were so many fewer maids in his family. Hearing that they all made mistakes and were sold off, he could only sigh a few times.Until the maid in his room also "made a mistake", Mrs. Wang wanted to sell her, and Jia Baoyu begged bitterly, but Mrs. Wang was determined, and reprimanded Jia Baoyu not to intervene with a dark face. After several maidservants were sold off by Mrs. Wang one after another, she cried and wrote a poem to express his longing and reluctance, lamenting that the world is too helpless.Anyway, the Tongfang of his few income houses are very obedient now, and there are not many people in his house to serve them, so they are all kept. After a period of time, Jia Baoyu didn't feel too much discomfort, so he Gradually let go of these things.

It turned out that the Taishanghuang was getting old and fell ill in winter, but he didn't get better.

The Supreme Emperor was getting old, and Emperor Chunyou and others, including the Supreme Emperor himself, were mentally prepared for this day, and they dragged on for more than a month. After all, the Supreme Emperor would still be buried.

Emperor Taishang passed away, and Emperor Chunyou issued a decree that the whole country hold a funeral. Officials of the Beijing Dynasty will not have fun for 27 months, and they will not marry during the year; Don't have fun for a hundred days, don't marry for a month.

At the same time, except for the imperial family and royal family, all high-ranking officials and imperial orders must enter the imperial court and follow the rank system.

Both Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu were watched by the Supreme Emperor since they were young, and they have deep feelings for each other, while Zhuang Yu and Daiyu are also quite favored by the Supreme Emperor, so the death of the Supreme Emperor at such an age is already regarded as a happy funeral , but still makes them sad and unable to control themselves.

Even Emperor Chunyou, in the early years, there were moments of daggers drawn between him and the Supreme Emperor, but most of the time he was still a loving father and a filial son. Those who grew up taught have very similar views on political views, even if there are some differences, it is not an irreconcilable contradiction.

In such an atmosphere, even this precious child, Zhuang Lanhong, could not get all the attention of his grandparents, parents, let alone the Jia family.

Because it was the Supreme Emperor who passed away, there was no need to change the throne, so the ceremonies and the like were not mixed. Since ancient times, the death of the emperor had its own funeral ceremony, so everything went smoothly in an orderly manner. After the Supreme Emperor was buried in the imperial tomb, many people The grief has been removed from my heart, especially the imperial women, who are pampered on weekdays, and some have never even carried anything heavier than a bowl. How can they bear the pain of going to the court and offering sacrifices every day?It's just that this kind of thing is unavoidable, and I can't even show my reluctance.Now that the matter is finally over, can't you breathe a sigh of relief and come back to rest?

As for the rules of no feasting and no marriage, they are used to it, and after their own calculations, there is nothing they can't cope with.

Mrs. Xing still has the opportunity to enter the court to accompany the sacrifice, but Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang are not qualified. Although she is a little tired, it is the first time that Mrs. Xing has the sense of superiority over Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng. I am also excited, if I really complied with that sentence, the one who laughs last is the real winner, right?

Mrs. Wang's mentality is not too far behind. Today, she is all focused on Jia Baoyu and her future grandson. If the family loses an official and becomes a commoner, it is not a bit of a disadvantage. At least their family does not have to To abide by the rules of the officials of the Beijing Dynasty, the common people only need to wear plain clothes for 27 days, not to have fun for a hundred days, and not to marry for one month.

In this way, she can also make a good calculation of the reproduction of children and grandchildren.Otherwise, if she really had to wait three years to have a grandson, how could she be willing?

Unlike Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng is extremely gloomy and unhappy. He has been given high hopes by Rong Guogong since he was a child, and he has always felt that he should be a dragon and a phoenix among men. Now he has been stripped of all the glory—the glory that belongs to others. It's extremely hard to bear once you become a white body.

He already knew the age of destiny, so naturally he wanted to pin all his expectations on his descendants, but when he saw Jia Baoyu, Jia Zheng became furious, reprimanded him several times but it didn't work, and he didn't bother to bother with him anymore .Jia Huan is not a material for reading. It is too difficult to become an official through the imperial examination.On the other hand, Jia Lan, although not the most intelligent, was better than hardworking, which still made Jia Zheng feel a little relieved.

Jia Zheng put all his attention on Jia Lan, but he himself had never participated in the scientific examination, and the so-called experience he passed on to Jia Lan was just "experience talk" heard by hearsay, which is really not very informative, but He was in high spirits, and Jia Lan didn't know the details, but the grandparent and grandson became close.

Just when Jia Zheng was full of expectations that Jia Lan would get fame and revive his family, what he didn't know was that his son, who had been abandoned, didn't stop making trouble for him.
