The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

When Jia Min was young, it was when Nanny Lai was on duty with Mother Jia, and she knew Jia Min very well. After saying these words, Jia Min recalled the relationship back then, and became closer to Nanny Lai.And because of Mammy Lai's words, she remembered her mother's kindness. When she was in her boudoir, her mother taught her carefully and loved her a lot. That was the most carefree time in her life.

Jia Min couldn't help but her eyes were red, and she cried: "My daughter is not filial, and I have to trouble the old mother to worry about it."

Jia Min cried for a while, and Daiyu also wiped away tears beside her, and she really had a good impression of her grandmother, whom she had never met.

Lin Ji didn't understand what they were saying, but seeing his mother and sister crying, he started crying too.

Nanny Lai and others hurriedly persuaded them, and the three of them gradually stopped their tears.

Jia Min wiped away her tears, and said to Nanny Lai: "Mother's wish, as a daughter, naturally cannot be rejected. This woman will stay, and the mother's choice is not bad. But this doctor, but There is no need to use it. My master invited a gentleman to stay at home, but he is a genius doctor. Now the two children's bodies are much stronger. If they invite two more doctors to come home, it seems that they don't believe him. Beautiful. Mommy, why don't you take these two doctors back to the mansion, there are many brothers and sisters in the mansion, even if you have something to do, you can send a post to invite the imperial doctor, but you can keep it as an offering, so you can be prepared."

Nanny Lai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, the old lady spent a lot of time looking for these two doctors. I heard that they retired from the imperial hospital. Because they are old and their ancestral home is in Yangzhou, For the sake of the old lady, she agreed to come to the Lin Mansion to make offerings." Nanny Lai did not believe that the gentleman invited by the Lin Manor could be better than the imperial physician.

When Jia Min heard this, her heart couldn't help but move. It's not like she didn't know how rare it is for an imperial doctor to retire from the imperial hospital. She guessed that it would take a lot of effort for her mother to find such two people, so she just retired like this. It's really not good to go back.But after Mr. Bai cured his children, she suddenly invited two doctors back to sit in the town. Didn't she slap Mr. Bai in the face?Jia Min thought about Mr. Bai's strange appearance with white hair and childish face, and thought of the two pieces of ink jade he gave to the two children casually, and he still hesitated in his heart.

Nanny Lai is used to watching words and expressions. Seeing Jia Min's hesitation, she said again: "Don't be embarrassed, my aunt. These two doctors represent the kindness of the old lady. The gentleman I want to invite my uncle is very skilled in medicine. The compassionate heart of the doctor, can he still be annoyed by the failure of human relations and nature?"

After all, Jia Min was reluctant to reject the two imperial physicians. When she was in the Rongguo Mansion, whenever she had a headache, she always invited the imperial physician to treat her personally. decent.But since entering the Lin Mansion, such treatment has been rare, and when she followed Lin Hai out of the capital, her son and daughter had never even seen the face of the imperial physician.

So Jia Min said: "Since it is mother's wish, let's keep it." There are two retired imperial physicians in the mansion, and they don't need to see the doctor in person, but they just make offerings in the mansion. Something to save face.

Nanny Lai and the others completed their errands and returned to the capital with a large number of gifts in return.

When everyone returned to the Rong Mansion, they naturally reported to Mother Jia's yard immediately.

When Mother Jia heard that Jia Min had accepted the mother-in-law and the doctor, she was very pleased, and she sighed with emotion for the precious girl whom she had not seen for many years, and wiped away her tears.Until Mammy Lai mentioned the cleverness of Lin Ji and Lin Daiyu, and a vivid description made Jiamu very happy, and regretted that Lin Haihai was sent to the south of the Yangtze River, so that she had never seen these two children until today.

After some excitement, everyone dispersed separately.Zhou Rui's family followed Mrs. Wang back to the Rongxi Hall, and made the matter of Mo Yu the key point, making Mrs. Wang so angry that his liver ached, and he gritted his teeth with anger in his eyes and said, "Jia Min!"

Zhou Rui's family's reaction when they saw Mrs. Wang was more violent than she imagined, and they didn't dare to say any more at the moment.

But the seeds of resentment had been planted in Mrs. Wang's heart, and it was burning like pain.

Losing Jia Zhu was extremely painful for Mrs. Wang. For her, Jia Zhu was not only her eldest son, but also her hope and pillar.In fact, Mrs. Wang also understood in her heart that the reason why their second wife was able to steal into Rongxi Hall was because the old lady doted on the second son.The one who inherited the title was Jia She, the big house, and Jia Lian will inherit the title of Jia She in the future, but there is nothing about their second wife.When the old lady passed away, the two households separated, and without the title of the Duke of the State, Jia Zheng was just a fifth-rank official. In the capital, he was just a small wave, not to mention the honor Jia Zheng can only get a small half of the family property of the government.Jia Zheng doesn't understand general affairs, with his salary as a fifth-rank official and his meager family property, how can he survive these days?Her Baoyu will marry a wife in the future, how can she have the heart to let him be wronged like this?

It is also because of this that Mrs. Wang desperately hopes that her children will be able to succeed, so that even if the family is separated in the future, they will not become the last family all of a sudden.Therefore, she followed the old lady's wishes and sent her eldest daughter Jia Yingchun to the palace to fight for a rich future; Good luck.Mrs. Wang has these three children, so she is full of confidence, even if their second wife can't become a noble, they can still overwhelm the first wife.

However, now that Jia Zhu had collapsed early, Yuan Chun had no news in the palace, and Jia Baoyu was really young, the tower that Mrs. Wang had built in her heart collapsed in half.Of course she regretted that she and Jia Zheng pushed Jia Zhu too hard, which made him exhausted at a young age, but now she has a reason to shirk the responsibility to alleviate her regret, so she stubbornly believes that Jia Zhu Zhu's death was all due to Jia Min's reluctance to save her. After thinking about it a lot, this idea became deeply ingrained.But he didn't think about it at all, even the psychic jade brought by Jia Baoyu failed to save Jia Zhu's life, so how could this earthly black jade have such a great effect?

Speaking of this, I have to mention that Jia Zhu was seriously ill at the time, and Mo Yu couldn't be found for a while. Mrs. Wang also gave Jia Baoyu's psychic jade to wear for two days, but there was no improvement. Liaoyu became dazed and couldn't eat anything, so Mrs. Wang hurriedly returned the psychic jade to Jia Baoyu.

Not to mention Mrs. Wang gnashing her teeth here, even Jia's mother was a little unhappy when she heard what Nanny Lai said that Jia Min had two Moyu objects.However, Nanny Lai explained that it was just given by a gentleman invited by the Lin family. Mother Jia didn't say much, but she had some doubts about the generous gentleman in her heart, wondering if it was something else that wanted to win him over. Sent by Lin Hai's prince?

It's not without reason that Mother Jia would guess like this.Because Concubine Dongping had invited Mother Jia to appreciate snowy plums in the other courtyard of the Wangfu a month ago, the two of them played a lot of games during the dinner.

Concubine Dongping was very kind to Mother Jia, and the two of them were close friends in the boudoir when they were not married, and their friendship has been profound for decades.But at this time, she invited Jia Mu to pin plums, but it was by no means as simple as reminiscing about the past and connecting feelings.

Although Jia Mu is a housewife, she is not completely ignorant of current affairs and political situation.Concubine Dongping is the daughter of the Zhen family, and she has a cousin relationship with Concubine Zhen in the palace. Mother Jia only thought about it carefully, and then thought of all the rumors that have come out of the court these days, it is not difficult to guess that Dongping Taifei The concubine's purpose is probably to win over all forces for Concubine Zhen and Duke Zhongshan.

Therefore, she only took the maids to the appointment, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang didn't bring any of them. After all, in Jia Mu's heart, those two people were too young to do anything. They still didn't care about such an important matter. Good to know.

As a matter of fact, it is not up to a housewife like Jia Mu to come forward or make decisions about matters such as the ups and downs of the family, honor, disgrace, or even life and death, but Jia Mu is also helpless. The eldest son Jia She is a fool. , I have never done serious errands, let alone such a secret major event?When he couldn't tell, others gave him a few beautiful ladies, so he casually tied Jia's family into someone else's chariot. How could he know what to choose?Let's talk about the second son, Jia Zheng, who has been good at studying since he was a child, and he is honest and kind. Compared with Jia Amnesty, he is naturally better than Jia Amnesty, but he is a bit lofty and pedantic. There are none left.

According to the current situation of the Jia family, the most correct choice is to stay away from this vortex of seizing the heirloom, which is the way of safety.However, Mother Jia is not reconciled. Compared with when Jia Daishan was still there, although Jia's family still had a plaque of Rongguo Mansion, the family status has long been neglected. The door hinges were rusted and creaked, which didn't make people blush.

Therefore, Mother Jia really wanted to seize this opportunity.In this world, it is easiest to go straight from the dragon's merits, and Jia's mother intends to make this a coincidence.If the third prince, Zhuang Sheng, can ascend to the throne smoothly in the future, under the merits and deeds, the title of the Rong Mansion will rise one more level, and she might be able to ask for a title for Baoyu, who is dear and caring. .

Of course, Jia's mother is not the kind of person who doesn't want to leave a way out, so she will not let Jia Jiaming become the party of the three princes. After all, now that the prince is still there, she doesn't have the courage to put all her eggs in one basket.

Concubine Dongping didn't mind Jia Mu's speculative behavior, just because she was originally "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong", and she was not planning the power of the Rong Mansion at all.

Concubine Dongping didn't mean to look down on Rongfu, but what does Rongfu have?A plaque of the Duke’s Mansion is just because Jia Mu is still alive, and the upper one turns a blind eye to let them go. It looks good, and it’s okay to bluff the people below, but some people with some roots and power , but may not buy the account of the Jia family.In addition, the Jia family has no successors at all.The eldest son, Jia She, received the title of first-class general in vain, and he didn't know that he was planning to get a job with real power. He only knew how to spend his days at home. The salaries of those titles were not enough for a few days in a family like his. use.The second son, Jia Zheng, is just a member of the Ministry of Industry, what kind of energy can he exert?

Therefore, no one wasted effort to win over Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng. On the contrary, Jia Zhen of the Ning Mansion, because of his friendship with the children of various aristocratic families, was able to get into the eyes of Mu Dong, the king of Dongping County, and get in touch with him a little bit.

Therefore, Princess Dongping invited Jia Mu not for the Jia family, but for someone Jia Mu could influence and be useful to them.

In this way, Mother Jia only kept her position in the dark, not attracting the attention of other people, but benefiting them instead.

Dongping County Prince's Mansion, or who is the person in the picture of the Three Princes?

The one who bears the brunt of this is Lin Hai.

The base camp of the Zhen family is in the south of the Yangtze River, so it can be called the emperor of the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many tricks above the salt administration. More than half of the income of the Zhen family comes from the contributions of various salt merchants.But when Lin Hai served as the censor of the Lianghuai Salt Patrol, the income of the Zhen family in this regard shrank significantly. It can be said that the Zhen family was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Hai.It's not that the Zhen family never thought about getting rid of Lin Hai, so that they could be replaced by an obedient Xunyan Yushi. However, Lin Hai was quite trustworthy in front of Emperor Xuankang, and the Zhen family didn't have a complete way to dare to take action easily.Coupled with the current sensitive situation, in order not to bring trouble to the third prince, the Zhen family had no choice but to hold back.What's more, in order to increase the bargaining chip for the third prince to win the heir, they also wanted to win over Lin Hai.

It's just that Lin Hai is a man who doesn't like oil and salt.Since it is impossible to win over on the bright side, slowly infiltrating from the back house is another way.What is Lin Hai most worried about?Not many offspring.If these two imperial physicians were sent by Dongping County Prince's Mansion, Lin Hai would definitely not accept them, nor would he dare to accept them.However, going through the Jia Mansion is different.As long as these two imperial physicians can cure Lin Hai's wife and children's illness, and reveal the origin at that time, Lin Hai's great favor will definitely be accepted.

That's why there was a letter from Jia's mother, Jia Min's persuasion to Lin Hai, and why there was a nanny who was sent to the south of the Yangtze River and an imperial doctor who retired—after all, how could it be so easy with the strength of Jia's family alone? So you got two old imperial doctors to send to your daughter's house as offerings?My family doesn't have this benefit yet.

For this reason, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, who didn't know it, were jealous for a while, and felt that Jia's mother was more inclined to Jia Min, and she was even more dissatisfied with Jia Min.
