[Red Chamber] I just want to be a dummy
Chapter 87
Jia Jing still remembered that within two years after the eldest girl married into the Jiang family, the uncle of the Jiang family died of tuberculosis.
This dynasty is not strict about women's remarriage, and even encourages women to remarry.So after the Jiang family uncle passed away, Jia Daishan also thought about taking the eldest girl back.
Because the Jiang family refused, Jia Daishan quarreled with the Jiang family in front of the world, was criticized by many civil officials, and became a frequent visitor in the memorials of the censors.
But at that time, Shi Shi went to Jiang's house, and the news he brought back was that the eldest girl was not willing to remarry.
Jia Daishan also became cold-hearted and didn't want to take care of this daughter anymore.
But many years later, when Jia Jing saw the eldest girl again, the eldest girl looked haggard, but she resented her natal family for not making decisions for her, so she took her back to her natal family.
"What does it mean to sacrifice for the family? Could it be that you are doing the same to Miss Min?" Mrs. Xu said disappointedly.
Mrs. and Mrs. Xu have always been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law. When Shi Shi first married in, he was willing to teach her a few words, but Mrs. Shi refused to change after repeated admonitions, so Mrs. Xu gave up on that concern.
Mrs. Xu has nothing to do with the marriage of these concubine granddaughters.
One is because Mrs. Xu had been in poor health before, and Jia She, who was able to take care of her, was exhausted physically and mentally, and she couldn't take care of her concubine granddaughter who didn't grow up by her side.
Alas, it was also because in Mrs. Xu's impression, Shi Shi had always wanted to save face.Mrs. Xu thought, even if the Shi family is just looking for face, she still has to find a suitable family for the concubines.
But I didn't expect that Shi Shi didn't even want to be shameless.
But at this moment, Shi Shi was still saying: "Naturally, this is the case. Sister Min also has to sacrifice for the brothers."
The old lady only thought Shi Shi was a dead duck with a stubborn mouth, closed her eyes and was unwilling to talk to Shi Shi more.
But Jia Jing knew that Shi Shi really thought so in his heart. In his previous life, because Jia Min was unwilling to obey Shi Shi's order, he married into the palace.
Shishi allowed Jia Zheng's wife, Wang Shi, to withhold Jia Min's dowry. Jia Min was the only prostitute of the historian family.
But the shabby appearance when she got married may not be as good as the dowry of those concubines when Jia Daishan was there.
What about his own daughter?In Shi's heart, the most important thing is probably not Jia Zheng, but his position at the top of the Rongguo Mansion's pagoda.
"No, this marriage has to be rejected." Jia Jing stood up and said, thinking about the appearance of the eldest girl in the previous life.
"How is this possible?" The vested interest in Jia Zheng's marriage has already enjoyed the benefits brought to him by this marriage, so he is naturally unwilling to lose the teaching of a famous teacher.
However, Jia Zheng was trying to save face with Shi Ru, and he said grandly: "Eldest sister and Nei Jiang's uncle have already exchanged Geng invitations. If we retire at this time, where will our family's face go?"
"So, you want to trade your eldest sister's lifetime happiness for the so-called face?" Jia Daishan asked with narrowed eyes.
In Jia Daishan's mind, although Jia Zheng has some shortcomings and no talent, he is a good boy who is pure and filial.
Therefore, Jia Daishan can only regard the eldest girl's marriage as Shi's sin.
Jia Zheng jumped out to object now, which made Jia Daishan somewhat ignorant of his youngest son.
"Son... what son means is... if the engagement is divorced, the elder sister's reputation will not be good." Jia Zheng stammered for a long time before he came up with a reason.
"Don't you worry that you don't have the guidance of the Guozijian Jijiu?" Jia Jing couldn't help but sneered: "Elder sister remarried even if she got a bad reputation, but if she just married like this, she would really want to be a widow." gone?"
"Can't you even tell the difference?"
When Jia Jing said a word, Jia Zheng's face turned pale, so why couldn't Jia Daishan see it, and he became more and more disappointed in Jia Zheng.
"Shan'er, your daughter-in-law is seriously ill, so it's not good for her to work hard anymore. In the future, Mrs. Shi should take good care of her illness. The eldest girls and the others are getting older, and they just happen to learn how to be a housekeeper." Getting used to Shi Shi, he directly said with a hammer.
"I'm not sick. I'm a super-class Mrs. Duke. How can you put me under house arrest..." Shi Shi cares most about the power in his hands. Immediately struggled.
Shi Shi dared to be so unscrupulous, but he just thought that she was the only wife in charge in Ningrong and Rongfu, and Jia Daishan would not dispose of him even for the sake of housekeeping and human relations.
"I have to trouble my mother for the relationship." Jia Daishan ignored Shi Shi at all, and bowed to Mrs. Xu.
"Father, how could you treat mother like this?" Jia Zheng was also scared at this moment. Jia Zheng panicked and wanted to persuade him, then turned to look at Jia Amnesty: "As a son of man, don't you speak for mother at this time?" A nice word?"
Jia Zheng knew very well in his heart that if Shi Shi was the housekeeper, then as the wife's darling, he would naturally be the only one in the house.
But if he becomes the steward of a few concubine sisters, regardless of whether these sisters will treat him harshly because of revenge, it means that his original treatment will definitely be gone.It is impossible for Shi to subsidize him in another way.
"Second brother Zheng's words are ridiculous. How did Uncle Daishan treat my aunt? It's just that my aunt is not in good health and can't work hard, so I handed over the housekeeping to my sister to let my aunt rest." politics, but Jia Jing had no such scruples and said directly.
Because the eldest girl and the uncle of the Jiang family were engaged, and even exchanged the gengtie, this divorce is not only to return the token of engagement at that time, but also to return the gengtie.
However, the Jiang family was unwilling to withdraw their marriage.
Because the elder girl has already been appointed, the Shen family did not hide the matter of their eldest son's tuberculosis as hard as before. Although it was not announced in a fair manner, it was still spread among family friends.
In this case, if the marriage is divorced, it is basically impossible for the uncle of the Shen family not to marry a well-educated and reasonable person, not to marry a low-ranking girl from the country.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for the Shen family to agree.
The Shen family took advantage of the fact that the Jia family was a girl, so it was impossible for them to put it on the surface and ruin their girl's reputation, so they planned to spread rumors to ruin the eldest girl's reputation while procrastinating.
At that time, the big girl will marry if she wants to, and she will marry if she doesn't want to.
As for whether it would offend the Jia family, or if the two families became enemies after getting married, the Shen family didn't care.
After all, they still thought that in case the eldest son had to let the eldest girl observe the festival, they would earn a chastity archway for the Shen family.At that time, the Jia family will definitely be offended.
What's more, civil servants and military generals have always been two systems. Although Jia's family is high and powerful, all their connections are with military generals.The Shen family naturally didn't panic.
First of all, Jia Daishan still thought that he was going to withdraw his marriage anyway, and that he was sorry for the Shen family, so he still wanted to communicate politely, but the Shen family was unwilling to say anything.He even said, "Even if the uncle of the Shen family disappears immediately, the eldest girl must come in and watch over the widows."
Jia Dai Shanben is a bad-tempered military general, it would be strange if he could bear it after hearing this, isn't your Shen family trying to save face?
Jia Daishan directly took the things that Shen's family had made at the beginning, and went to the door of Shen's house and yelled that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage.
The masters of the Shen family didn't want to show up at first, they wanted to ask the concierge to invite Jia Daishan and others inside.
But Jia Daishan also understood very well that the bigger the noise outside and the more people onlookers, the more beneficial it would be.
Seeing that there were more and more people watching, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but come out, "What do you mean by this? Let's go in and talk if we have anything to say."
Because the Shen residence is also a place where civil servants similar to the Shen family gather, some of the onlookers can't help muttering there: "The Jia family is a mess after all, and there is something between the in-laws that is not easy to open up." As you said, you still have to make trouble at the gate of the mansion."
"Yes, it's better for the Shen family to be more polite."
Jia Daishan ignored those people, it doesn't matter if he is famous or not, after all, it is more important for his daughter to live a good life, so he just said directly: "You don't need to go in and talk about it, we have talked more than once. That's what it means, our family is going to divorce, this is what you made a decision at the beginning, Mrs. Shen is not wrong, if it is right, please return my daughter's Geng Tie to us."
How could Mrs. Shen expect that Jia Daishan would disregard his daughter's reputation and yell like this outside, and she was a little stunned for a while.
But Mrs. Shen is also considered a good person. She has always been able to talk to people and talk nonsense.
After being stunned for a while, Mrs. Shen pretended to be the first to hear that the Jia family was going to divorce, and said, "Okay, why are we going to divorce? Is it something our family did not follow the rules?"
As soon as Mrs. Shen said this, almost all the onlookers lined up at the Shen family.
Although the Shen family's family background is not obvious, it is also a scholarly family for several generations, so there will be no way to behave in violation of the rules.
Besides, it's not a decent thing to withdraw a marriage. It's not a secret agreement between the two families to withdraw a marriage.
"Mrs. Shen's words are strange. Our family has told your family more than once that we want to divorce. If your family hadn't replied all the time, we would not have disregarded the dignity of the girl in the family and divorced like this. "Jia Dai said kindly.
"As for why you retired? Others don't know, don't you? Although the girls in our family can't be said to be rich and precious, they were all brought up pampered anyway, so they can't marry to be widowed." Jia Daishan said. If it comes out, it's a bit vicious, and it's directly cursing the Shen family.
But at this moment, no one in the crowd said Jia Daishan was wrong. After all, if the marriage was cheated, it would be the Shen family's fault.
This dynasty is not strict about women's remarriage, and even encourages women to remarry.So after the Jiang family uncle passed away, Jia Daishan also thought about taking the eldest girl back.
Because the Jiang family refused, Jia Daishan quarreled with the Jiang family in front of the world, was criticized by many civil officials, and became a frequent visitor in the memorials of the censors.
