My Dad in the Red Chamber is still alive

Once Sister Feng gave birth and was happy to have a baby boy, Jia's house was full of excitement.

Jia Amnesty's beard fluttered with joy, and he rewarded Sister Feng with a lot of silk and satin jewelry in one go. He also opened his own private treasury, found several calligraphy and paintings, and four ancient fans, saying that they were rewards for his eldest grandson.

Mrs. Xing overturned the jars of vinegar and five-spice powder in her heart, it was sour and spicy, and she only hated that she didn't have a biological child!After much deliberation, when I get old, I might still have to rely on Jia Lian's family, so I gritted my teeth and brought out a few decent things and asked someone to send them to Sister Feng.

It is said that the old lady was very happy, and she wanted to see Sister Feng in person, but was persuaded by Mrs. Wang, Yuanyang and others, and ordered someone to climb a ladder to open her big cabinet, and took out a whole set of emerald heads, plus a pure gold longevity lock. , and specifically ordered the kitchen to make up for Sister Feng alone.

When Mrs. Wang came back from the old lady, she walked around the room angrily, going back and forth three times, then gritted her teeth and ordered Zhou Rui's family to bring something over and express her condolences.

Zhou Rui's family hesitated again and again, but still asked softly: "Madam, don't you want to go and have a look?"

Mrs. Wang said bitterly: "You tell Feng girl to take good care of her. Your mother is going to visit her relatives soon, and she can't come out to make arrangements. I'm too busy here to touch the ground. Besides, I just came back from the old lady's place and caught some cold wind. , I won’t go to see her anymore, it’s the same when I go again in a few days.”

Only then did Zhou Rui's family take orders.

Li Wan sent the Longevity Lock and a pair of gold bracelets for babies. Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Baochai also gave a few embroidered items such as bellybands and small clothes for children.

Daiyu asked people to find some supplements suitable for pregnant women from the warehouse, as well as various auspicious golden unicorns, golden abacus, and golden ruyis that had been prepared for a long time. Anyway, Sister Feng loves money, so giving anything is better than giving gold directly .

The second master, Jia Zheng, was also very happy when he heard this, and ordered people to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstones and other things.Everyone in Dongfu also sent corresponding gifts.

Xiren, Qingwen and other big maids in Baoyu's house also gave gifts such as sachets and bellybands embroidered by themselves.At this moment, Xiren felt that he was already Baoyu's person, and he treated Baoyu with extra care, and said to Baoyu, "Second Mistress is happy to have a son, and everyone in the whole family has sent gifts. The second master can write a word or not, just be a son." Whether it is poetry, it is always good to send it to the past, and it will make Second Mistress happy!"

Baoyu is unhappy because of Qin Zhong's death, how can he write poems?Besides, there is naturally poetry and inspiration for Zhong Lingyuxiu's sisters and sisters, but what can you write about a baby that is wrinkled like a monkey?I wanted to ignore this, but I was afraid that the attacker would keep on talking, so I just wrote a few auspicious words to deal with it.

At this time, Sister Feng was in confinement and could not come out to manage affairs, so Mrs. Wang was a little powerless to manage affairs by herself.So he ordered Li Wan to assist him, but Li Wan was usually silent and seldom spoke, he had no idea in doing things, and he had to ask his wife how he was doing.

Mrs. Wang felt that taking her didn't feel like she had an extra helper, instead she found an apprentice for herself - he had to be taught everything, and he was exhausted!So I don't like Sister Feng's child even more.

What's even more exasperating is that not only Sister Feng has dropped the pick, but Jia Lian has also dropped the pick!The family visitation garden has been built, but there are still many details that need to be perfected.Besides, because Lin Ruhai didn't die this time, they didn't have Lin Ruhai's millions for them to embezzle.

Sister Feng stopped lending usury and didn't take her jewelry to the pawn shop for money, so Mrs. Wang had to use her private treasury.The gold, silver and precious jewelry saved up in the past many years were carried out box after box, and Mrs. Wang was so distressed that she almost fainted.

Fortunately, there is a good relative who is rich.The Xue family is rich, so naturally they can't stand by and watch.I have borrowed a total of 20 taels from Aunt Xue in several installments.

Aunt Xue also had no choice. Originally, she came to the capital to participate in the primary election for Baochai, but because the wicked son was involved in a lawsuit, her qualification for the primary election was cancelled.

They are orphans and widowed, and Pan'er is a person who only knows how to make troubles and has no conscience. If they don't rely on the blessing of the Rong Mansion, the rich will become the source of disasters instead.So even though I have a big yard, I can't go back to live.

Besides, Baochai is a good person, because the family is only a businessman, not even an official, and this marriage seems to be the best choice for Baoyu.

Baoyu has a good life and loves others. Although he is not self-motivated, he can't help but be spoiled by his family.The second householder of the Rong Mansion is the head of the family, if Baochai can marry, she will be the head wife in the future.

Now that Yuanchun has made another concubine, Baoyu has a bright future!So at this time, the more money Jia's family borrowed from him, the bigger the marriage would be.

His elder sister seemed very satisfied with Baochai, but the old lady seemed to like Miss Lin more.But Aunt Xue could see clearly that the Lin family didn't like Baoyu at all.

As for Shi Xiangyun, it was even more impossible.Just make up for it yourself.Lin Yatou at least has a good father. What does she, Shi Xiangyun, have?How could my sister fall in love with her?

Aunt Xue came over to chat with Mrs. Wang after dinner this day, because she said: "My sister has been too tired recently? She seems to have lost some weight. Seeing that the mother is going to visit her relatives, my sister must not fall ill."

Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "Isn't it tiring! Originally, building a garden is a huge matter. Pianfeng girl has a baby, so she can't come out to help, let alone, she doesn't know how much work has been added to her! Lian'er also Having a son is so happy that I don’t know what to say, and I have delayed my business! The money is also very insufficient! I just try my best to make ends meet!”

Aunt Xue: "Since Pan'er's father is gone, the family is not as good as before, but as long as his father is here, I can no longer embarrass my sister!"

Mrs. Wang patted Aunt Xue's hand and said, "You have helped me a lot, and now the old relatives like the four kings and eight princes have also donated money to help. Another brother gave me 8 taels, and Jiangnan Mrs. Lin gave me 5 taels." Ten thousand taels, Jiangnan Zhen’s family still has 10 taels of old accounts, so it’s barely enough.”

Aunt Xue: "We old relatives are really good."

Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "The current situation of the four kings and eight fathers is not as good as before. Most of the elders are gone, and how many people of the younger generation are promising? Now our family has a concubine, which is a good fortune that no one else has. Everyone is in the same spirit, can they rush to please?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Blessed is my sister! No one else can produce such a good girl!"

The two chatted and laughed for a while before Aunt Xue went back holding the maid's hand.

*******

Besides the outside matters, although the money was collected, there seemed to be very few people in the huge Jia family who could really support the affairs.As soon as Jia Lian put down the pick, things outside immediately became hectic.

In the past, Jia Lian always thought that he was the master when doing things. Since Wang Xifeng cried to him once, he gradually felt that things were wrong, and he was no longer active in everything.From active work to passive sabotage, everything is done only when the head is on top, and I do what I am asked to do, and I don’t do much at all.

As soon as Sister Feng's child was born, he began to pick and choose every three days.In the past, he was afraid of his father, Jia She, because the elder would beat him if he disagreed with him.But today's grandpa has a grandson, everything is going well, as long as it is heard that it is because of the grandson that he did not go to work, then naturally the grandson is the most important!

Jia Lian thought, maybe her father knew it a long time ago, and probably beat herself because she was stupid and hopeless!No matter what, only the people in the second room are struggling with the matter of the second room.

It will be almost the end of the year when everything is settled.So Jia Zheng chose a date to inscribe the book.On that day, the sage Zhu approved the play: on the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year, on the day of Shangyuan, Concubine Jia was allowed to visit her relatives.Jia's family received this decree, and they worked day and night more and more, and they never had a good life for years. (Quoted from the original Dream of the Red Chamber)

Zhanyan Lantern Festival is just around the corner, and on the eighth day of the first lunar month, eunuchs come out to look in the direction first: where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to hold a banquet, and where to retire.

They also inspected the local prime minister's defense eunuchs, etc., and brought many eunuchs, big and small, to close the defense curtains everywhere.

Outside, there were officials from the Ministry of Industry and soldiers from the five cities sweeping the streets and driving out idlers.Jia Amnesty and other supervisors led craftsmen to tie up lanterns and fireworks. By the fourteenth day, everything had been completed.

That night, I didn't sleep up and down.

On the [-]th day and five drums, those who are nobles, such as Jiamu, all wear heavy makeup according to their products.Jia Amnesty was waiting outside the gate of West Street, and Jia Mu was waiting outside the gate of Rongfu.I saw a eunuch coming on a big horse, and asked about his news, the eunuch said: "It's too early, I'm afraid Xu Chu will get up!" (Quoted from the original Dream of Red Mansions)

So Jia's mother went back to rest by herself, but because Sister Feng could not come out to take care of the affairs, Mrs. Wang had to take care of them in the garden.

When it was time to light the lamps, the sound of horses running outside was suddenly heard, and for a while, a dozen or so eunuchs came running panting and clapping their hands.The other eunuchs understood and said, "Here we come, we come!" Standing in the direction of each other.Jia Amnesty led the Hezu's nephews outside the West Street Gate, and Jia's mother led the Hezu's female relatives to greet them outside the gate.

At one time, a dozen or so pairs of red-clothed eunuchs stood up in pairs, and behind them came pairs of various phoenix guards of honor.There are also deacons and eunuchs holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, rinsing bowls, whisks and other things.In the back are eight eunuchs walking slowly, carrying a golden-topped golden embroidered phoenix tablet.

Jia's mother and others quickly knelt down to welcome them in, and walked all the way to the main hall of the Grand View Garden.After the ceremony, the tea had been offered three times, and the music stopped. Concubine Jia took a car to Jia Mu's house.He wanted to perform family rituals, but everyone hurriedly stopped him.

So Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Jia Fei joined hands with tears in their eyes.After reminiscing about the past, Jia Zheng led a group of nephews and nephews to salute through the curtain, and Concubine Jia said some words of encouragement and comfort to Jia Zheng.

Concubine Jia asked again, "Why don't you see Aunt Xue, Baochai and Daiyu?"

Everyone replied: "The foreign family has no job, so I dare not enter without permission."

After listening to Concubine Jia, please hurry up.

For a while, Aunt Xue and others came in and wanted to perform the national ceremony, but Concubine Jia hurriedly ordered to avoid the ceremony.Step forward and say farewell to the cold and temperature.

After a while, You Shi and others came up and said: "The banquet is ready, please go to the imperial concubine for good luck."

Concubine Yuan got up, ordered Baoyu to guide her, and toured the Grand View Garden with everyone. (Quoted from the original Dream of the Red Chamber)
