Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

After the Beijing King's Shui Rong rebellion was punished, Jia Zheng was terrified and became seriously ill. After learning that his daughter Yuan Chun was safe and sound in Zhongshun Palace, and that the position of princess had never been implicated by this incident, he calmed down a little.

However, when he thinks about going back after sick leave, it is full of difficulties. Those families who have good relations with the Jia family are now falling down and decaying. Jia Zheng is not transparent and smooth, and there is no one in the ministry who is willing to speak for him Over time, Jia Zheng found that there was no hope of recovery, so he cooled his heart to be an official, and devoted himself to raising his children.

Jia Zheng now has a son, Baoyu, but he doesn't keep him by his side. Instead, he serves Jia's mother and goes back to the south of the Yangtze River. Baoyu passed the boy's test in Jinling, and is now a boy.

Although he is not the head of the case, Jia Zheng is somewhat satisfied with Jia Baoyu now, compared to being doted on by both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang in the past.Then he set his sights on Jia Huan, the concubine son, and Jia Lan, the grandson of the family.

The males in Jia's family were not prosperous. At this age, Jia Zheng didn't want to think about adding a few more males to the family, but only wanted to educate Jia Huan and Jia Lan.

This change of Jia Zheng was noticed by Wang Xifeng, and she immediately knew that the time had finally come to completely bring down Aunt Mrs. Wang.Since Jia Baoyu went to Jinling with Jiamu, Mrs. Wang was really unhappy in her heart, and she completely hated Wang Xifeng who urged Jiamu to take Baoyu away.

However, today's Jia family is not what it used to be. Even though Jia Zheng's room still lives in Rongxi Hall, the real housekeeper in Jia's house is Wang Xifeng. She holds the power firmly in her hands, and Madam Wang is jealous The power of the family, and he didn't want to take over the public accounts that went bankrupt and returned the account deficit.

Mrs. Wang couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so she could only look at Wang Xifeng's magnificent master with hatred, and spat in her heart, she would not know how powerful she was until this Feng girl filled the dowry into the bottomless pit.

For the sake of her son Baoyu, for the power of the family, and for Jia Zheng, who only dealt with her for a few days a month, the unhappiness in Madam Wang's heart was getting deeper and deeper. This unhappiness was vented on the concubine Jia Huan, the concubine Tanchun, and Li Wan, the daughter-in-law who killed her eldest son Jia Zhu, and even she was indifferent to Jia Lan's child—although the child was hers Zhu'er's child is very similar to Li Wan in facial features, gestures, and gestures, she can't help but feel sorry for her no matter what.

Wang Xifeng herself was illiterate, but when she grew up and took charge of the shop, she realized the importance of literacy more and more. Now she has put in a lot of effort, reading and literacy is not a problem, if she is asked to write poems and fu, that is absolutely impossible.Wang Xifeng herself suffered from illiteracy, and when she came to Yingchun's education, she made up for it and hired a female teacher to teach Yingchun how to read and write.

She didn't hide her secrets, and told Mrs. Wang, thinking that the daughters of Jia's family would not be able to read and one could not, so she asked Tanchun to study with Yingchun.

But Mrs. Wang flatly refused, she only said that it is right for girls to learn to be female celebrities, and just study.Tanchun is a high-spirited person who has long wanted to learn to read and write. Hearing that Lian's second sister-in-law invited Yingchun to have a husband, she was eagerly waiting to go to school with her, but she was cut off by Mrs. Wang.

Tanchun felt extremely wronged. From as long as she could remember, she had been filial in front of her aunt. She was indifferent to her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, and brother Jia Huan. It has a good future.Unexpectedly, she was so wronged and asked for perfection, but what she got in exchange was this result. The aunt knew that she was very eager to be able to read and write, but she forcibly cut off her thoughts.

Tanchun's eyes turned red from crying, and she fell ill. Aunt Zhao came to visit her, and her eye circles were also red: "My girl, I usually say that she is not really planning for you, but you don't listen and call me Don't slander Madam, now you see, she is obviously uneasy, what will you do in the future?"

What Aunt Zhao said was ambiguous, but Tanchun understood. In the future, she was referring to her destination, but now Mrs. Wang refuses to let go of such trivial matters as reading and writing. What else can she expect from Mrs. Wang when it comes to marriage?

Tanchun was frustrated with Mrs. Wang. Looking at the red and swollen eye circles of his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, he suddenly realized who was the one who treated her sincerely. Said: "Miss, don't be too sad. Now in this mansion, she is not covering the sky with one hand. I will beg your second sister-in-law Lian. She may not be able to do anything. There may be no turning point for this matter!"

Aunt Zhao hates Mrs. Wang deeply now. Since she gave birth to two children in a row, Mrs. Wang has seen that her nose is not a nose, and her eyes are not eyes. , maybe Huan'er won't be able to keep it.

Aunt Zhao also had some calculations in her heart, now that Jia Huan has reached the age of enlightenment, Mrs. Wang's side can't work, she has to blow the pillow wind in Jia Zheng's ear, and boys can't be delayed!

Aunt Zhao had a two-pronged approach, she went to Wang Xifeng to beg, and at the same time she blew the wind in front of Jia Zheng. Wang Xifeng was uniting all the forces that disliked Mrs. Wang for her use, and Jia Zheng began to turn his mind to teaching the children in the family. The time and place were right Renhe, Mrs. Wang really stumbled this time.

Jia Zheng was annoyed to find that Yingchun, the daughter of his elder brother Jia She, had already started reading the Book of Songs, but his daughter Tanchun hadn't even read the three-character classic, and most of the characters she knew were taught by Yingchun in her spare time. A female gentleman, but his wife, Mrs. Wang, does not allow his daughter to learn to read!

Jia Zheng is most self-confident as an educated scholar, his daughter is not very literate, and she is compared with the daughter of his elder brother Jia She, whom he has always looked down upon. Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied.

When Aunt Zhao blows the wind, he realizes that Jia Huan has not yet been enlightened, and Jia Zheng is angry again. He usually has a lot of things in the yamen. Mrs. Wang, who is the mistress, should have reminded him of such things, but she didn't say a word. It made him realize that he hadn't enlightened his young son yet, and this incident made him feel uncomfortable like a slap in the face.

Wang Xifeng also made a small plan, so that Jia Zheng heard a few servants talking about Li Wan's mother and son, and heard that the widowed eldest daughter-in-law is doing needlework day and night to support his grandson Jia Lan, and that the child spends nothing on food and clothing. Without the treatment that a grandson should have, his body is not strong, and he can't read and write, Jia Zheng's anger in his heart became more and more intense.

When Wang Xifeng heard the servants coming and going, there was an uproar in the Rongxi Hall, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, she watched all the things her good aunt did, and now she shook them all out, she believed in one blow It must be hit, it doesn't give people a chance to turn over, and if you beat a snake to survive, you will hurt people. This time, she wants to see how her good aunt turns over again.

Mrs. Wang was grounded by Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng went to talk to Jia Lian in person and asked Tanchun to study with Yingchun. Then he personally invited the gentleman who had rectified the Eight Classics to go home to enlighten Jia Huan and Jia Lan.

Jia Huan and Jia Lan had been looking forward to the enlightenment for a long time. When the husband came, the two children were very motivated to study. Because they were older, they learned the things of enlightenment faster than the children. The husband was very happy. Satisfied, he also said to Jia Zheng: "The two sons of your mansion are very talented, but it's a pity that the enlightenment is a bit late. If it is two years in the morning, this year's boy trial may not be impossible. The next one will have to wait for three years, which is a bit of a delay. gone."

After Jia Zheng heard this, she was even more annoyed. Mrs. Wang originally thought that Jia Zheng grounded her two or three feet at most, but she didn't know that Jia Zheng not only didn't lift her grounds, but instead led her to the small Buddhist hall. Go live, now Mrs. Wang panicked and asked her confidant Zhou Rui's family to discuss countermeasures.

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said: "Isn't there still a big girl? The master must give the big girl face, right?"

Mrs. Wang thought so deeply, and hurriedly wrote a letter asking Zhou Rui's family's idea to be handed over to Yuan Chun. Although Yuan Chun was already somewhat dissatisfied with her mother, but when she heard that she was banned from the small Buddhist hall by her father, and Aunt Zhao's mother and son were promoted again, her heart softened. Yes, she gave birth to a son to Prince Zhongshun's mansion a few years ago. Although King Zhongshun, who seldom entered her room since then, never approached her again, the old concubine still valued her very much, and her son was a certainty. As the son of the world, Yuan Chun's position in the palace is much more stable than before.

Thinking that he hadn't returned to his natal family for a long time, Yuan Chun went to ask the old concubine for instructions, and then took the servants of the palace and his son Huan Yun back to Rongguo Mansion.The eldest girl returned to Ning, and Mrs. Wang was naturally released. During this time, Zhou Rui's son-in-law, Leng Zixing, came to the capital selling antiques. When he heard his father-in-law and mother-in-law mention Mrs. Wang's matter, Leng Zixing, who traveled all over the world, gave them an idea.

"It can't be said that you can't use a cruel trick, buy a bag of rat poison, let your wife pretend to be poisoned, and get involved with Aunt Zhao or Grandma. After suffering some hardships, your life is safe, but you can go back to the hall and get rid of those who are obstructive. , wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”

Zhou Rui's family went to tell Mrs. Wang about the method of son-in-law. Mrs. Wang was overjoyed when she heard this, and asked Zhou Rui's family to handle the matter. Taking advantage of her daughter Yuanchun's return to Ning this time, Mrs. Wang wanted to direct and act in this play in front of her daughter, forcing Looking at Jia Zheng's daughter as a princess, he must severely punish those little bitches.

I don’t know that what is planned depends on people and what happens depends on God, but Mrs. Wang’s soup, which was drugged, was eaten by Xiao Shizi’s nanny by mistake. Milk, Xiaoshizi is just over one year old, even though the toxins in the milk are very small, he still can't stand it, he spit up the milk immediately, his face was bruised and purple, Yuan Chun was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, he hurriedly sent for the imperial physician.

Fortunately, the imperial physician came in time and saved Xiao Shizi's life.Yuan Chun was furious, and the nanny who was in charge of Zhongshun Palace followed the old concubine, and the nanny searched fiercely with a cold face, and dragged out Mrs. Wang and Zhou Rui's family. This time, not only Jia Zheng hated Gritting his teeth, even Yuan Chun was extremely disheartened.

She only wanted to come back to give her biological mother a boost so that she would not be grounded by her father and lose the dignity of the royal family, but she didn't know that her biological mother tried to frame Aunt Zhao and others through her, and almost killed her son.

No matter how Mrs. Wang explained this time, Jia Zheng and Yuan Chun's hearts could not be restored. This time, they could not even stay in the small Buddhist hall at home. With one hand, he said directly: "This time, the blessing of the little prince is blessed by God. If something bad happens to the little prince, the lives of so many people in our family are not enough to pay for it! What's more, if the wife commits another crime in the future Confused, there are Brother Lang, Brother Huan, Second Miss, and Third Miss at home, if there is another good or bad for these children..."

Aunt Zhao's cry confirmed Jia Zheng's intention to send Mrs. Wang away. In this way, Mrs. Wang could not change Jia Zheng's decision anyway, and was sent to a nunnery in the suburbs of Beijing to "cultivate her body and mind". Needless to say, the nunnery master is not bad-tempered, but her apprentice Miaoyu is eccentric. Mrs. Wang only feels that the days are like years in the nunnery, and her face, which is pampered and well-maintained on weekdays, is getting old day by day.

Wang Xifeng intentionally blocked the news, so Jia Baoyu and others who were far away in Jinling didn't know about Madam Wang's situation, and naturally no one would stand up for Madam Wang. Mother Jia received the news, and she didn't mention Madam Wang to Baoyu. She was extremely dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang's actions.

Jia Mu is a person who likes flowers and flowers. Although she loves Baoyu, she doesn't want to see Mrs. Wang spoiling those children in Beijing. Since Feng girl handled it properly, Jia Mu didn't ask about it.

In this way, Mrs. Wang, who was sent to the nunnery, was gradually forgotten. When she died of illness soon, she never saw her son Baoyu who was kept from knowing.

Because he has been with Jia Mu since he was a child, Baoyu's feelings for his biological mother are not so strong. He was very sad for a while when he heard that his mother passed away. Generally, no one mentions it anymore.

Just one year after Baoyu kept his filial piety, Yingchun, who had been engaged to the Zhao family for a long time, also passed the age of Jiji, and was married by the Zhao family back to Jinling.Yingchun, who was disgusted with male and female couples because of the nightmare, was rarely relieved when facing the childish young master Zhao with clear and bright eyes.

Outsiders say that the Jia family clings to the rich and powerful, and they feel sorry for Yingchun, a handsome, submissive girl who married a foolish husband just like that, but like a person who knows how warm and cold the water is, Yingchun lives very happily in the Zhao family.

The Zhao family has a simple population. The four young masters are siblings of the same mother. The three sisters-in-law are straightforward and capable, and they all really love the younger brother with some defects. After discovering that Yingchun's temper is as docile as her appearance, She didn't have those low-level thoughts, and after she really loved her younger brother as her own brother, the sisters-in-law also treated Yingchun as a younger sister, as did the old lady and his wife.

No one in the Zhao family dared to look down on Jia Yingchun, the soft-tempered fourth grandmother of Zhao. In the future, Yingchun adopted the youngest son of the eldest brother of the Zhao family as his heir. That little white rabbit's personality is deeply loved by the tigresses of the Zhao family, and they live a very comfortable life.

After Mrs. Wang's filial piety period, it was time for Tanchun to talk about marriage. She was high-spirited, and she felt pity for Yingchun marrying a foolish family, but she also envied Yingchun for marrying into the very popular Zhao family. As a concubine, she can't be compared to Yingchun no matter what, can she?

Jia Zheng also wanted to find a good marriage for his daughter. Now the three children Baoyu, Huan'er, and Lan'er are all good candidates for studying, and they will also take the road of imperial examination promotion in the future. A child paving the way, isn't it?

However, although the Jia family still bears the name of the Duke's Mansion, it has already declined. With the name of the Rongguo Mansion, although some wealthy families are willing to marry their less successful children, Jia Zheng wholeheartedly wants to marry his daughter. Looking for a well-educated family and a young talent with a bright future, I really don't think much of those dudes.

After such a delay, when the Lin family and the Jia family in the south of the Yangtze River had already engaged the two children Daiyu and Baoyu, the matter of Tanchun had not yet been settled, and the attention of the Jia family at this time was all on Baoyu. Regarding this marriage, Tanchun's marriage was put aside for the time being.

The family status of the Lin family is already high compared to the current Jia family. The Jia family is 1 happy to marry the Lin family. Although Jia Min proposed that his daughter and Baoyu's second son should be named Lin to inherit the Lin family. The matter of bloodlines is somewhat difficult, but Jia Mu, who loves her daughter, and Jia Zheng, who loves her younger sister, finally agreed to Jia Min's request, and others have nothing to say.

Even though the members of the Lin family were dissatisfied, they thought that Lin Ruhai had secretly preserved the blood of Emperor Wen, had favored Jingxuan, Prince of Zhongrui, who was now very popular, and was given the title of Marquis of Sui En, so their petty thoughts stopped.Don't you see the old story of the Marquis of Xing'an, the one who was adopted was still a distant relative who couldn't reach the outside world, didn't the emperor confer the title of Marquis to Wang Qi in the end by decree?

It is not the clan's own business to involve the title. Even if they can force Lin Ruhai to adopt the Lin family's child as heir, they will not be able to inherit the title in the future, isn't it just a flower in the mirror?At that time, it would not be beautiful to tear up the face with Lin Ruhai, so it would be better to take a step back, and take advantage of Lin Ruhai's current power to gain some sweetness, right?

In this way, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu got engaged smoothly. Although the two children were no strangers to each other, because Jia Min had been holding back from letting them get along too much, there was no unforgettable love in this relationship between wood and stone. Starting from the blind marriage, the handsome Baoyu and the refined Daiyu both have some affection for each other, so they don't resist this marriage.

After the husband and wife got along, they found that their hobbies, such as poetry, poetry, and Fu, were very similar, and the relationship between the husband and wife became like glue. With Jia Min's double backing, and being in Jinling, the border of the south of the Yangtze River, no servant would dare to neglect Daiyu's unreasonable thoughts.

When Daiyu finally gave birth to her eldest son Jia Xuan after two years of marriage, Tanchun's marriage was finally settled.
