Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Ai Ruo couldn't help thinking, how did Yuan Chun celebrate his birthday in the original book?Birthdays are still very important in the Red Chamber, but those who really celebrated their birthdays in a serious way only said it five times.

Once it was a big birthday celebration for the old lady. It was a whole day, and it took seven or eight days in a row. It was a very extravagant thing, and some foreigners were invited.

The next most beautiful thing is Jia Zheng's birthday, the [-]th anniversary, a big event, of course, on that day, his daughter became a concubine, so the Jia family made a big fire.

Then it's Jia Jing's birthday, the Ning Mansion has a small office, and there are no outsiders.Let the old lady and the others go and sit down, Jia Jing is not there yet.Let others kowtow to an empty chair.But Jia Jing has no rank, so naturally he can't hold a banquet like Jia Mu and Jia Zheng.

The others were much poorer. One was Mother Jia who scooped up 20 taels of silver to celebrate Xue Baochai's 15th birthday.This gives many people unlimited interpretations and various conspiracy theories.But when Ai Ruo came here, no matter whether it was a conspiracy theory or not, he just said things for a while.

At the age of 15, it is a big day for the daughter's family, which is called Jijing.It shows that the girl is old enough to be kissed.Being abroad means that she can enter the social world, find a sweetheart, and get married.

Xue's guest lived in the Rong Mansion, as the old lady of the host, she couldn't pretend not to know, and scooped up money to celebrate the guest's lady's birthday, which was polite.If you don't do it, it's a real conspiracy.

Another time was Wang Xifeng's birthday, and Wang Xifeng's birthday was also because Jia's mother said that she had worked hard as a housekeeper for so many years, so she let her celebrate.It was a special kindness, so the ancestor opened his mouth.So the whole house got busy, even the servants, big and small, joined in and kowtowed to Wang Xifeng in turn.But I didn't invite outsiders, it's just that the two governments joined together, invited a play, and just had a drink.In the meantime, other things happened, and it was very noisy.So everyone didn't take this birthday too seriously.

As for Mrs. Wang and the others, as daughters-in-law, who would dare to celebrate their birthday with their mother-in-law.It's just accepting the junior's gift secretly, and adding a few dishes will make it pass.It is even easier for the juniors to celebrate their birthdays. Even if it is the birthday of Baoyu, the phoenix egg, everyone just joins together and gives a gift, but nothing is done.

So at this time Ai Ruo listened to Zhou Rui's family's proposal.She also suffers.In this era, there are not many birthdays that daughters can celebrate.For example, one year old, and fifteen.Later, in the middle days, you have to talk to Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng before you can do it.That is to say, only when you become an old feudal monarch like Jia Mu, you are eligible to celebrate your birthday.Of course, Ai Ruo's daughter Ju cherishes such an opportunity very much.I want my daughter to live her childhood to the fullest.But this daughter was born at the wrong time!

I want to be willful, but I can't be willful.Yuan Chun was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and everyone was happy when he was born. What a wonderful day, the beginning of a year, everything is renewed.Who is not allowed to say blessed?But whose family is not busy this day?

For a feudal family, the ancestral hall had to be opened on the first day of the Lunar New Year.Kowtow to the ancestors.Even if they are separated, they are still members of the clan, and this really cannot be escaped.

Like Daishan and Daihua, by the way, Jia Amnesty has to go to work to pay New Year's greetings to the saints.When all this is done, it will be afternoon.Then they, the juniors, had to come out to pay New Year greetings to the elders. Yuan Chun, a little doll, even if it was one year old, it would not be a good birthday.

"It's the day, let us servants wish the eldest sister a blessing. How about a treat until the third day?" Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said, she is the housekeeper of the second master's house, and her words already have some weight.

"The little girl has a long tail, so don't ruin her luck. For the people in our family who are living on the day, one counts as one, two months' money, just pray for the eldest sister." Ai Ruo thought about it, and that was the only way to go. It can't be done on the first day, but it can be done after three days.

"The little ones will let them thank grandma." Zhou Rui's family naturally knew what Ai Ruo meant by our family members.This is different from Rong Mansion. For Yuan Chun's birthday, only the people from Erye's Mansion are double-paid. What happens to Rong Mansion has nothing to do with them.

In the evening, when Jia Zheng came back, he was in high spirits.It's almost Chinese New Year, Lu Buqun invited him to drink, the two of them already speculated on each other, so they drank two more glasses.Lu Buqun is not a person who has no clue, so he was sent back when he saw that it was almost done.After being warmed by the warm room, I felt a little drunk.The servants hurriedly changed their clothes, drank sober soup, washed their face, and was hugged by Yuan Chun.

Jia Zheng was in a good mood, and he tied his beard with his precious daughter, making her giggle.Jia Zhu also laughed. He has a good relationship with his father now, but there is still a difference between father and son, and father and daughter. Daughters can be spoiled, but sons are naturally stricter.Jia Zhu has a good temper, and she is not jealous, so she just has fun on the sidelines.

And Ai Ruo was about to cry. It used to be her daughter's favorite game, and she kept calling 'Help Mom', 'Help Mom'!She would rush to "save" her daughter.The husband hugged his daughter and hid from left to right, and the family of three made a fuss.And all of this is gone forever...

The same scene happened at this time, and Ai Ruo was stunned for a while!She didn't know how desperate and sad her expression was at that moment, and everyone was too scared to make a sound.

Zhou Rui's family felt sore seeing it, and consciously made up their minds, and the second grandmother was sad.Although Ai Ruo was sad, he was still not sad because of Jia Zheng.

Zhou Rui's family pulled Ai Ruo gently, and Ai Ruo noticed that everyone was looking at her, and Jia Zheng also looked concerned.Ai Ruo rubbed her eyes, and smiled in a concealed manner, "I'm tired, and suddenly lost my mind."

"Don't sleep." Yuan Chun immediately retracted into Jia Zheng's arms, and when she was tired, she thought that Ai Ruo was going to let her go to sleep, so she said immediately.She will be one year old soon, and she already knows how to say it, but she just refuses to say it. For example, Jia Zheng coaxed her to call her Daddy, but she just didn't call him Daddy, but the other words were pretty good.

"I didn't let you sleep, I just ate, what are you going to sleep with?" Ai Ruo rolled her daughter's eyes, and when she regained her senses, it's time to talk about the business, "Yuan'er is going to be one year old, do you have any regulations?"

"Isn't it good to treat guests on the first day of the new year?" Jia Zheng looked at his precious daughter, and his face immediately became bitter.Now he doesn't feel that the first day of the new year is a good birthday, it's too troublesome, and it's impossible to celebrate his daughter's birthday on a regular day.

"Zhou Rui's family has a good idea! It's the day, let's have one for Yuan'er at home. In the third year of junior high, we will send posts to the master, wife, and my mother's family. What do you think?"

"Is it here?" Could Jia Zheng be the old mallet?Immediately asked again to the point.

"Of course not, Yuan'er is a daughter of the second wife, so naturally she will celebrate her birthday at her own home." Ai Ruo said loudly.

Jia Zheng also nodded, thinking that this arrangement is very good.He also wanted to treat guests at his own home, to receive friends from outside, which was inconvenient in the Rong Mansion.Now that he also knew the benefits of being the master of his own house, he naturally felt uncomfortable under his father's nose everywhere.

After talking about Yuan Chun, there was a brief embarrassment between the couple.Jia Zheng glanced at Ai Ruo, and just now when Ai Ruo lost his mind, Jia Zheng suddenly felt that his wife was far away from him at that moment, which made him flustered.Although he came back to his senses now, the panic just now made Jia Zheng feel depressed.

Before, I always thought that my wife was angry. Thinking about these years, I really feel sorry for her.This year, he went out to see the world and saw a lot of world affairs.He also understands that when he was in the mansion before, he was indeed a frog in a well.Including the attitude towards his wife, it should not be what a serious scholar should have.

He was thinking of performing well and impressing his wife.He wholeheartedly felt that as long as he was admitted to Juren, his wife would be able to recruit him again.As a result, for a moment just now, he really felt that he had actually lost his wife forever.

Ai Ruo also felt depressed, so he asked someone to scoop up the account books and give Jia Zheng the accounts of the public in the mansion.Not long after Jia Zheng came back, she had shown Jia Zheng the account books from the branch warehouse.Just like before, Jia Zhengben let Ai Ruo make arrangements for himself. When he and the Wang family were in trouble, he would not be the housekeeper. What's more, he trusted Ai Ruo so much at this time, so of course he didn't want to take care of it.

Can Ai Ruo let him ignore it?Insisting on letting Jia Zheng participate, he said, "This family is not for the wife alone. If I, like my sister-in-law, suffer from three disasters and two pains, will it be difficult for me?"

"I don't know taboos in the twelfth lunar month. What's this saying?" At that time, Jia Zheng hurriedly 'pooh' and scolded Ai Ruo by the way.Of course, he didn't dare to scold harshly anymore, and now he became more and more timid in front of Ai Ruo.For fear of offending her, Jia Zheng didn't know why, but he felt more and more afraid of himself.Alas, after being beaten by the mother-in-law, the shadow is really huge.

However, Ai Ruo persisted, and Jia Zheng had no choice but to honestly listen to Ai Ruo's talk about the branch warehouse and the old man's words.

Of course, Ai Ruo focused on what the old man said when he divided the treasury.As for what Jia Zheng understood, she didn't care.She was just "reporting" the old man's words honestly.

Sure enough, Jia Zheng heard other meanings. The inheritance and honor of the Rong Mansion were to be passed on to the eldest brother, and he had to create new glory for his children.My heart was filled with fighting spirit.Otherwise, at this time, he could ask Yuan Chun where to celebrate his birthday, he has already established it firmly, this is not his home, his home is outside.

Now Ai Ruo scooped up the ledger and told about the income of the shop and Zhuangzi. There were so many kinds of gifts from each house, and the rewards for the servants. Finally, looking at the ledger, there was only 8000 taels of silver left.Jia Zheng's wine turned into sweat all of a sudden, dripping down!

"Is 8000 taels worth living on?" Jia Zheng's face turned pale, and his hands trembled, for he was so poor. 8000 taels, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this year.

"If you save some money, you can get by. There are not many people in the family, so you don't have much to eat. It's just to spend some money on entertainment, but it's nothing." Ai Ruo said lightly.

"I'm going to study." Jia Zheng suddenly felt that his responsibility was too heavy.This family has a book balance of only 8000 taels. How to live, you must pass the Juren test, at least you can reduce taxes, and it can be regarded as making money for the family, right?
