Jia Cong, the concubine who crossed the Red Chamber

Aunt Zhao is an ambitious person, never content with mediocrity.When Mrs. Wang was in the limelight, even Mrs. Jia Shexian's wife, Mrs. Qin, had to avoid her. Only Aunt Zhao dared to challenge her.

Aunt Zhao is actually a person with a little wisdom. She is good at grasping the opportunity and trying to figure out the thoughts of those in power.So Mrs. Wang disposed of one good-looking concubine after another, but she didn't bother to attack the vulgar Aunt Zhao.When she came back to her senses and wanted to deal with Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao was already full-fledged, which made Mrs. Wang jealous and jealous.

So when Mrs. Wang was put in prison, the second room moved to set up her own house, and Mrs. Wang had only her only son left in Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Zhao saw hope.She seized the opportunity to control the power of the housekeeper, and also bought and promoted a group of available servants.He often pulls Jia Huan to get close to the master and supervises Jia Huan's studies.Contrary to his usual domineering and mean image, he has become a philanthropist praised by everyone.

Aunt Zhao wants to drive Mrs. Wang out of power and replace her as Jia Zheng's first wife.Although the latter point is wishful thinking, the former point has a tacit understanding with Jia Mu.It is precisely because of this tacit understanding that Jia's mother let her petty actions go.

Jia's mother's idea is very simple. Baoyu cannot have a sinner's mother, and her youngest son cannot have a concubine who was once imprisoned.As long as another lady from a famous family with a clean family background is hired to become Baoyu's stepmother, these problems will be solved.As for which lady would be willing to marry the commoner Jia Zheng, this was not the scope of Jia's mother's worries.In her opinion, her youngest son is familiar with the books of sages and sages, and he is upright and polite, all of which are excellent, but he has been implicated by the sinner Wang.So Jia's mother took it for granted that she began to choose a new wife for Jia Zheng.

Naturally, the actions of Mother Jia and Aunt Zhao couldn't be hidden from the big house.Jia Amnesty was disdainful in her heart, now that Erfang's reputation has been stigmatized, the old lady still wants to find a daughter from a family, is she worried that the Rongguo Mansion doesn't have enough enmity?Mrs. Xing didn't say anything. Even though the second room was reduced to this point, Jia's mother still couldn't forget it. It didn't look like the old Fengjun who sought advantages and avoided disadvantages.This is not just a word of love that can explain the past. Jia She was in the middle of the game and didn't realize that Mrs. Xing had something interesting.

But Jia Cong felt happy, and was about to doze off when Jia's mother brought a pillow by herself.

This morning, before Jia Baoyu got up, he vaguely heard someone talking.Listen carefully, it is the pearls and amber in the old lady's house.

I heard Amber say: "You used to serve the old lady, but later you followed Smith, and now Smith doesn't live here often, what is your success?"

Pearl smiled and said, "There's no such thing as anything, it's all about serving with heart. Now I'm only worried about Baoyu. When the new wife comes in in the future, will he go back or stay? If he goes back, I'll beg the old lady." Follow along."

Hu Po glanced at Jia Baoyu's bed from the corner of her eye, smiled meaningfully, and said, "When the new wife comes in, the second master will naturally go back to honor his mother. Is there any reason to still live here?"

After that, Jia Baoyu didn't listen to anything.He already knew the truth very well, knowing that his mother was imprisoned, and his situation was very different from before.It's just that although I know it in my heart, I haven't really felt what it means.Until today, when I heard the words "new wife" and "go back", my heart was stunned, my soul was lost for a moment, my mind was ignorant, and I lay on the bed in a trance, unconsciously shedding tears.

This is when I heard Hu Po say: "There is one thing that I forgot to tell you. The old lady asked Baoyu to make a few bellybands to wear inside. Because it is a close-fitting needlework, he doesn't like it done by outsiders. Yes You do it, or should I ask Musk Moon to do it?"

After hearing this, Zhenzhu naturally agreed, and said with a smile: "You still want to ask her to do something, just leave it to me. Musk Moon has a lot of things, and she doesn't use needles or twist threads on weekdays, so how can you count on her?" .”

Amber didn't seem to realize what it meant, she just nodded and smiled and said, "Then I'll leave it to you, I have a few tricks at my place, which the old lady praised, if you like it, just go and get it yourself."

Zhu Zhen was busy thanking her a thousand times, and said: "You are doing my best, I will definitely remember it in my heart, and it will benefit you in the future, and I will never lose your share."

Amber smiled indifferently: "You just know that I am good to you, and it would be extravagant to say thank you. We grew up here together since we were young, and we will have to support each other in the future."

After Pearl left, Amber's expression changed, she looked outside, Sheyue stood at the door and nodded, the little girls didn't come in, and the big girls who were usually by Baoyu's side also stayed away.Seeing this, Amber got up and went into the inner room to help Baoyu get up.

Baoyu was in a daze all the time, but Hu Po didn't seem to notice, she just talked to Baoyu in a soft voice, helped him change clothes and made his bed, and when he was a little better, he called the little girls to come in and cut off the water, wash his face and comb his hair.

Baoyu was listless during breakfast, and Mother Jia didn't care. She only thought about the two girls Mrs. Shi Jia mentioned yesterday. Add it up.

After dinner, Baoyu was upset, and Jia Mu asked Fei Cui, Pearl, Sheyue and others to take him around.Passing by a water's edge, Musk Moon suddenly said, "It's a bit chilly here, so we don't want to stay for long, why don't we go back earlier."

Baoyu was a little dull, but after hearing what Sheyue said, he noticed the scenery here and said, "I look at it, but it's not bad." As he said, he was about to sit down on the stone chair by the water.Pearl is a little worried that Baoyu is too wet, but she doesn't want to go back to get the clothes, thinking she wants to spend more time with Baoyu.

The eldest girl Fei Cui said: "Since the second master wants to sit down, I'll go back and get a thicker dress."

Musk Moon hurriedly said: "Don't dare to disturb my sister, I will handle these errands. I know where the clothes are, so I will come when I go."

Jade was very satisfied with Musk Moon's behavior, so she just nodded and told her to go.

After Musk Moon left, not long after, everyone heard the cry of a little girl not far away.Baoyu Nahan asked, "Who is crying?"

Fei Cui hurriedly said: "There was no crying, I think you heard it wrong."

Baoyu shook his head and said, "There is indeed a sound. I really heard it." Then he followed the sound to find it.

Jade and Pearl looked at each other helplessly, then shook their heads and followed closely.I saw a child of five or six years old, dressed in bright red clothes, with no hair left, so he couldn't tell the difference between male and female.It looks very good-looking, and at this time it is hiding under the root of the tree and crying.

Baoyu has always been sympathetic to the fragrance and cherishes the jade, so he hurried over, squatted down, and asked, "whose family are you from? Why are you crying?"

The child raised his head and opened his eyes wide, looked at Baoyu with aggrieved expression, and said, "My surname is Jia, and that's why I'm crying because I'm dead."

Jade and Pearl were all terrified when they heard this, and they only pulled Baoyu away.Who knows that Baoyu is an idiot, so he ignores them and just asks the child, "How did you die?"

The child said: "My mother was murdered by my grandmother. The new mother has a child of her own. She didn't like me and drowned me."

Baoyu was indignant, "How can there be such a vicious stepmother! What's your name?"

The child stopped crying when he heard this, and grinned: "My name is Jia Li, big brother, you also want a new mother!" From time to time, laughter like silver bells came out.

After hearing the last words of the child, Fei Cui's face turned pale, her body was trembling, her teeth were chattering, and she kept chanting: "Jia Li, Jia Li..."

Fei Cui was frightened by the name Jia Li, and Bao Yu was not much better. The words "new mother" just reminded him of what he heard this morning.Thinking of such a beautiful child who was beaten to death by his stepmother, and thinking of himself, he felt so overwhelmed, his chest constricted, he lowered his head, and actually vomited a mouthful of blood from his heart!

Seeing the two of them like this, Pearl panicked.Baoyu was sweating profusely, her eyeballs were straight up, and body fluid flowed out from the corners of her mouth, but she didn't realize it.The whole person seems to be stupid!
