Jia Cong, the concubine who crossed the Red Chamber

The most important thing in Mother Jia's heart is undoubtedly her own interests, followed by the Jia family's foundation, and then her children.Of course, Jia She, the white-eyed wolf who had been united with the old lady since childhood, was an exception in her eyes.Therefore, when the interests of herself and the Jia family are not touched, Jia's mother is happy to help her hard-working daughter.

Therefore, after hearing Mrs. Xing's words, Jia's mother immediately made up her mind and immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to the Lin family.After the Lin family received the letter, they would pack up Daiyu's things, arrange things up and down, and then be reluctant to leave for a period of time, which may take half a year.Jia Cong was extremely anxious and looking forward to it. Sister Lin of the Immortal Plant, oh, it's time to be called Sister Lin.

Although Jia Cong and Mrs. Xing came up with the idea of ​​bringing Lin Daiyu to Jia's house, they wanted to deceive the second wife, but they absolutely didn't want the daughter of the Lin family to be wronged.So early in the morning, I asked Jia Mu for an errand, and was responsible for tidying up Lin Daiyu's residence.

At this time, Jia Min was living well, Lin Ruhai was also a second-rank member of the court, and the daughter of the Lin family was taken over because of the upbringing rules. In addition, Jia's mother didn't have the intention of having two jade children as relatives at this time, so I am very satisfied with Mrs. Xing's knowledge and interest.As for Mrs. Xing, on the one hand, she really wanted to make up for the little girl who left her parents because of her little thoughts, and on the other hand, she wanted to avoid Mrs. Wang's recent actions.

In the evening, everyone had dinner at Jia Mu's place.There are only Jia Mu and three girls at the table, and the maids next to her are obsessed with dust whisks, rinsing bowls, and towels.Xing, Mrs. Wang Er and Li Wan stood beside the case and gave way.Although there are many daughters-in-law and maids waiting outside, they don't even hear a cough.After dinner in silence, each servant girl brought tea in a small tea tray.Then Mrs. Jia said to Mrs. Xing, "take their sisters, and I'll talk to the second family." After hearing this, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang got up quickly and said two more gossips, Fang Yin I went with my sisters.

Mrs. Xing asked the good mothers and nannies to send Tanchun and Xichun back to their rooms, lead Yingchun to walk slowly, and send Yingchun back in person.The weather was fine that day, so Madam Xing didn't sit in the sedan chair at all, but led Yingchun back slowly.The following maids and mothers-in-law were ordered to stay far behind, and they couldn't hear what the mother and daughter said.

Mrs. Xing said: "You did a good job today. If Baoyu wants that purse, you can just give it to him."

Yingchun nodded: "I know, mother doesn't have to worry."

Mrs. Xing looked at Yingchun's small body, sighed, and said: "Don't say you are not my own, even if you are my birth, the old lady wants to keep you by her side, who can argue? The old lady doesn't want me Stand firm, so you and brother can't be recorded in my name for so long. Brother is a boy, and he can at most make his own future in the future. You are different, this concubine, life will be difficult in the future."

Yingchun is weak-tempered and can suffer, but she is not stupid. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. I know what mother means. What I am suffering now is a small hardship. When I get their appetites tricked, it will be their turn to suffer a lot." gone."

In the past two years, Mrs. Xing devoted herself to Jia Cong, and Yingchun was carried by Jia's mother before Mrs. Xing entered the door, so Yingchun and Dafang were not considered close.When Jia Cong gradually became sensible and Mrs. Xing taught him some miscellaneous knowledge, he remembered that he had a "daughter" in name.Jia Cong is a sensible person, taking advantage of his young age and not being noticed by others, he quietly went for a few laps to welcome the spring.Finding that Yingchun's life was not easy, she came back and told Mrs. Xing.

It was too late when Mrs. Xing found out that Yingchun had developed an immobile temperament.So he took advantage of the situation and came up with such a way.Send the granddaughter of Wang Shanbao's family, a sharp-toothed little maid, to Yingchun as a first-class maid.First make sure that Yingchun will not be treated badly on the big pleats, and then tell her to slowly cultivate the appetite of the screwdriver.

As for who the kicker was, it was debatable, maybe it was the nanny and maid, and maybe it was the Baoyu Wang family.No matter who it is, there will always be a day of reckoning.Otherwise, with Yingchun's temperament, she could be saved once or twice, but not ten times or eight times.The old lady didn't like the big house, if Yingchun was always in the early stage, maybe there would be some tricks.It's better to leave it like this, and it's good to let them relax.

Since the day Yingchun learned to read, she has been reading the "Huanglao Silk Book", which advocates tranquility and inaction.I always think that everyone has their own fate, so I don't care about anything.Mrs. Xing told her to suffer, and she suffered, and she never worried whether the stepmother was cheating herself.Acting in this way made Mrs. Xing, who was watching her, worry for a long time.

In the morning of the second day, everyone went to Jiamu's place to say hello, and just entered the inner gate, they were stopped by Yuanyang first.First said: "The old lady watched Brother Bao and the others eating peaches last night, and the old man was greedy again. She ate half of them. At five o'clock, she got up twice in a row. This morning, she felt a little tired. .I will spare my wives and girls greetings, and I will trouble my wives to go one more time.”

Madam Xing was slightly surprised when she heard this, and said, "Is the old lady feeling better now? Have you invited the imperial physician?"

Yuanyang replied: "It's just a small problem, I didn't ask the imperial doctor, the old lady said that it will be fine after a little rest."

Before Mrs. Xing could speak, Mrs. Wang nodded her head and said: "The old lady is the most knowledgeable. Since she said nothing happened, there must be nothing serious."

Mrs. Xing turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang, and said with a smile: "Although the old lady said so, it's just that we, as juniors, are still worried."

Yuanyang smiled and said: "The old lady knows that the two wives are filial, she said that she doesn't want the two wives to be sick, and come back after lunch in their respective yards, the old lady still has something to tell."

Only then did Mrs. Xing nod her head, and said: "Then please trouble Miss Yuanyang. If you need anything, please send someone to tell me."

Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Xing stealing her limelight again, she couldn't help clenching her teeth, but the expression on her face remained unchanged, and she couldn't see it at all.

After they greeted each other in the outhouse, they all dispersed.

Yuanyang smiled disdainfully after seeing the crowd leave, turned around and went into the back room, and went back to Jia Mu's words.

Jiamu was lying on the bed at this time, holding two old walnuts in her hand, and a little maid was sitting on her knees beating her legs, her face was rosy, how could she be a little sick?

When Jia Mu saw the mandarin ducks coming in, she smiled and said, "How? Am I right?"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "The old lady is well-informed. If the old lady hadn't said it, I would have been deceived. In my opinion, no matter how much her second wife dances around, I can't escape the old lady's grasp."

Mother Jia got up slowly, and said, "The soft-shelled turtle she sent to the kitchen yesterday was said to be from Zhuangzi. Although it's not a valuable item, it's just a wild taste. Even so, it's nothing. It's just a coincidence for her Unfortunately, I gave Baoyu two peaches yesterday, which smell delicious and fruity. She is so stupid, do you really think she is the only one who is smart?"

Yuanyang said: "Actually, the second wife can be regarded as successful, but she shouldn't do these small tricks in front of the old lady. The old lady is like the Tathagata Buddha, no matter how much her grandson escapes, she won't be able to fly away from you." palm of your hand."

Mother Jia nodded, "You are right. If I hadn't known that peaches and soft-shelled turtles are incompatible, if I had eaten them by mistake, wouldn't she really have taken away all the housekeeping rights? That's fine, anyway. We can't come up with evidence, so we might as well use our tricks and wait for Lian's daughter-in-law to come in, and I'll see how she does."

Yuanyang looked at Jia Mu's expression, and carefully flattered her, saying something that the old lady knew clearly.

Besides, after Mrs. Xing returned to her room, Jia Cong hurriedly surrounded her.He greeted the maids to bring tea and water, and he himself rolled up his sleeves to let Mrs. Xing's shoulders drop.

Mrs. Xing was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "You are really a child, you can't hold your breath at all."

Jia Cong smiled flatteringly, and said, "Isn't this the first time I've come up with my own idea? I'm afraid there might be something inappropriate and ruin my mother's affairs. Mom, tell me quickly, have they been fooled?"

Mrs. Xing said: "The second wife is not smart. When she heard that the old lady was unwell, she didn't change her expression, she wasn't surprised or worried at all. Did she think Yuanyang was an ordinary girl? On the contrary, the girl Yuanyang looked very smart to me. Yes, although he is young, he acts impeccably and speaks properly."

When Jia Cong heard Mrs. Xing say such a thing, he scratched his head anxiously, but he couldn't ask any more questions.

Mrs. Xing likes to tease Jia Cong. Seeing him in such a hurry, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, let me tell you, the old lady ordered me and the second wife to go there again in the afternoon. I'll see, this matter It must be done. Although Yuanyang's expression is a bit haggard, there is no blackness at the moment. It may not be true that the old lady has a stomachache. But she said that, she doubted the second wife. The power of the housekeeper must be divided. One point."

When Jia Cong heard this, he covered his mouth and was overjoyed.In fact, this is not a big deal, but it is just a bad idea to lure the big maid next to Mrs. Wang.But if you want to be really successful, you have to think about the details inside and out, such as where the news comes from, how to make people suspicious, and so on.Otherwise, if you are a little negligent, you might get yourself into it instead.It was the first time for Jia Cong to plan independently, and it took him two months to make a comprehensive plan.It is not a small progress, so I am very proud.

As for the next step, when Mother Jia let go of the housekeeper's affairs, Mrs. Wang must be impatient to pounce on her. At that time, it will be easier for Jia Cong to trick her again.
