The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng suffered setbacks in the past few years, and after restraining himself, as a bystander, he was able to see more clearly the weak future of the Jia family.

Perhaps it was clear to the onlookers, but she could see clearly that Daiyu was the main reason why Mother Jia wanted to hold this so-called reception banquet for Li Lin and Li Ran.Wang Xifeng hadn't met Jia Min a few times. After the Lin family returned to Beijing, Jia Min and Jia's family had not been in close contact. This was not in line with what Jia's mother said, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang's hatred for Jia Min.Wang Xifeng originally thought that it was because Jia Min climbed up to the palace, and her spirits were high.Later, what happened in the year when Jia Min was seriously ill, Wang Xifeng found out that Mother Jia, the so-called loving mother who loved her daughter the most, was able to extend her hand to plot against her own daughter, for the benefit of the Jia family.Therefore, Wang Xifeng would never believe how much Jia's mother loved the two concubine's children, Li Lin and Li Ran.

Although Wang Xifeng only met Jia Min a few times, she was very impressed with this aunt.As the life in Jia's family became more and more difficult in the past few years, Wang Xifeng thought of Jia Min more and more, and felt that Jia Min was the one she should really learn from. After so many years of doing nothing, she was still able to occupy the Lin family's back house undefeated. In this land, with a son born to a concubine, he was able to be kind to his mother, filial to his son, harmonious in husband and wife, and finally gave birth to his own blood. The only unfortunate thing was that his health was not good enough to last until his son grew up.

Jia Min's impression became more and more profound in Wang Xifeng's mind, so it was not difficult to find that Li Lin's appearance was [-] to [-]% similar to Jia Min's.

Perhaps it should be said that both Jia Xiu and Jia Min look like their father, and they are somewhat similar, so Li Lin, who looks like his mother, is similar to Jia Min.

Mother Jia had a good idea. As long as Daiyu saw Li Lin, who looked similar to Jia Min, and saw that Li Lin was weak and had no father or mother, she would definitely feel sympathy. The Jia family could use Li Lin as a springboard. Get closer to Daiyu.

Therefore, Mother Jia's goal was not achieved. Even though she didn't want to lose her tongue, she didn't cancel the reception banquet, and the people who participated were just juniors such as Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Sanchun, etc. At most, Shi Xiangyun, who came to Jia's mansion more and more diligently now, and Mother Jia, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others will not be present.

Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang took money for the banquet, but Mrs. Wang shirked it in every possible way.

Mrs. Wang loathes and even hates Jia Min. She has no impression of this Jia Xiu. When she entered Jia's house, although Jia Xiu was not married yet, she was like an invisible person in the mansion. Mrs. Wang had no likes or dislikes towards her. Feel.

However, after Jia Xiu got married, she followed her husband to other places to work, so she hadn't gotten close to Jia's family for many years, and now she still thinks about her natal family when she is in custody, which is very embarrassing to Mrs. Wang.From Mrs. Wang's point of view, these are poor relatives who came to sweep the autumn breeze, and they were moths who wanted to destroy the Jia family building.Originally, Mother Jia said that she would take the opportunity to invite Daiyu to come, and make a good relationship so that she could ask Jia Baoyu for an official position. Madam Wang finally suppressed her reluctance and reluctantly agreed to hold a reception banquet for Li Lin and her brother. .Now that the plan has failed, how can Mrs. Wang be willing to spend money to buy banquets for two insignificant children?

But Wang Xifeng just didn't answer. Mrs. Wang talked about a lot of difficulties, but Wang Xifeng pushed her back. Wang Xifeng didn't want to give money to the public as before. It's better to keep her dowry for Sister Qiao Sister Qiao is not liked by Jia Lian, and her body is not very strong. A mother must plan for her in the future.

Mrs. Wang talked about the difficulties of Datong, but she couldn't make Wang Xifeng volunteer to take over the power, so she had to take out 18 taels of silver very painfully, which made Wang Xifeng fall backwards in anger.Wang Xifeng hesitated and hesitated, but in the end she didn't put any money into it, just bought it casually, and then sent it away.

Wang Xifeng was also not happy about subsidizing it herself, so she bought it casually and then dismissed it.

Wang Xifeng understands that Mother Jia treats Li Lin and Li Ran only in a superficial way. Li Lin and Daiyu are different from Daiyu, they are not the grandchildren of Mother Jia, and Mother Jia does not have so much compassion for them. body.It was only because they were useful that they laughed a little. Even if they were treated slowly, no one would complain about them. What's more, she is also a clever woman who can't cook without rice. After all, it's all Mrs. Wang's fault, isn't it?

Li Lin and Li Ran are not stupid. You can tell the Jia family's attitude from the simple appearance of the table, but seeing that Jia Baoyu and Sanchun sisters treat them sincerely, although they are wronged in their hearts, they can bear it. What about living under the fence?There is nothing more to say.

But when Jia Baoyu and Sanchun met, they felt a little feverish. Jia Baoyu's room was full of gold and silver, so he asked Musk Moon to get some, and re-arranged the table. Sanchun's monthly bill of silver was not spare , but also somewhat expressed his heart.

Wang Xifeng apologized and expressed helplessness, but she pointed the finger at Mrs. Wang. Regarding Jia Baoyu's use of money to reset the table, which made her unable to get off the stage, she no longer felt aggrieved or angry as before. Anyway, In the end, it was Mrs. Wang who was slapped in the face.There is no money in the account of the public office to set up a banquet for relatives and children, and her son can easily take out a lot of gold and silver. What do people think?

On the contrary, Shi Xiangyun felt that Jia Baoyu's actions were inappropriate. It was not that she thought that Jia Baoyu's move was to demolish Mrs. Wang's platform, but that she instinctively disliked Li Lin, so she disliked Jia Baoyu's own money for the Li family siblings. The act of holding a table.

Shi Xiangyun is rarely absent in all the activities of the Jia family.Her third uncle now treats her much colder, and her second uncle's family is so happy that she often comes to Jia's house. With the tacit consent of the two families, Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu's marriage is already close to each other.

As for Mrs. Wang, after Xue Baochai's incident, she has no position to oppose Jia's mother's arrangement, but this does not mean that she is so willing to accept Shi Xiangyun, an orphan girl. She always feels that her son is wronged to match Shi Xiangyun. It's picking your nose and eyes, and you're not satisfied at all.

Shi Xiangyun is not completely ignorant of the ways of the world, and he also knows that he needs to have a good relationship with Mrs. Wang, so that he can have a better life after marrying Jia Baoyu in the future, but her background and her fatherless background cannot be changed by herself no matter what.

However, when it comes to dealing with Li Lin, it is rare for the future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to be united.Shi Xiangyun didn't like Jia Baoyu's "Sister Lin, Sister Lin" who always surrounded Li Lin back and forth to please her, and Mrs. Wang didn't like Li Lin's "humeizi" appearance, which resembled Jia Min.

Compared with the treatment of his younger sister, Li Ran had a much easier life. After all, Mrs. Wang and Shi Xiangyun would rather Jia Baoyu and Li Ran get along with each other than Li Lin. Even Jia Zheng felt that Jia Baoyu and Li Ran were together. It's better to read and practice calligraphy together than to hang out with your daughter.

Li Ran was eleven years old and wanted to study in Jia's clan school. Jia Baoyu volunteered to accompany him, fearing that he would be bullied.Jia Baoyu is already 16 years old. In ethnology, he is definitely one of the older people. Amidst the greetings of "Second Uncle Bao", Jia Baoyu is still very calm.

Jia Baoyu thinks that Li Ran is extremely smart, but he is not a pedantic ordinary person who is full of fame and fortune, and because he is young and has not grown up, he looks pretty, with pink lips, and because of the weakness brought about by his mother's womb, he is somewhat His timid and weak attitude also made Jia Baoyu take extra care of him.

Like Jia Baoyu, Li Ran dismissed stereotyped articles and only liked to write poems.One day, Jia Baoyu wrote a poem silently, which made Jia Baoyu look insane and crazy, and burst into tears for no reason. Since then, he has introduced Li Ran as a confidant, wishing to get along day and night, and indeed often fell asleep on his feet.

Li Ran said that this first word was not written by himself, but he couldn't say where it came from. He only said that he had had it in his mind since he could remember.

"The shabby room is empty, and the bed was full of wats;...you sing and I come on stage, and you think that the other country is your hometown. It is ridiculous. In the end, you are making wedding clothes for others." Note 1

When Jia Lian heard this word once, he felt that it was indescribably ironic and weird, and it seemed to imply something, which made him feel ominous. How could Li Ran be so resentful and disappointed in life at such a young age?

But Jia Lian has always been not interested in these literary things, looking at Jia Baoyu and Li Ran, thinking about how a child who grew up in a honey pot would have such an experience?I probably heard it from somewhere, and then I put it aside.

Li Lin had known for a long time that her younger brother had no intention of taking the imperial examinations. As a young child, she had a sense of fate that "fame and wealth are all dust". Even death could not change his mind.Now Li Lin could only smile wryly when she saw how Li Ran and Jia Baoyu hated meeting each other so late.I just sigh that Li Ran doesn't understand, he is different from Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu is protected by his family and supported by the family name of the government, so even if he does nothing for a lifetime, he can live a heartless life without worrying about food and clothing.But their siblings are different, they depend on others, and they can't even see where the future is.She could see that when the two siblings brought their wealth into the house back then, it was impossible for the Jia family to spit it out in the future. When the two siblings became adults, could they still rely on the Jia family for the rest of their lives?Those who have no money and power, what should they do in the future?

Li Lin's bewilderment about the future made her more and more silent and introverted, and she would not leave the room easily, even if she was with Sanchun, she would never talk too much.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were also happy to save Li Lin. Anyway, Li Ran asked them to show face to the outside world. Who would know what kind of life Li Lin lived in the backyard of the deep house?Everyone just needs to know that the Jia family is benevolent and treats orphans kindly.

As long as Mrs. Wang didn't see Li Lin's face that looked like Jia Min, she wouldn't feel so disgusted with the two siblings, and she wouldn't go out of her way to make trouble.What's more, she doesn't have much time to pay attention to the affairs of Li Lin and Li Ran's siblings. She is now very anxious about Jia Yuanchun's situation.
