Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

It was still the familiar formula and the familiar taste. As a person who has also enjoyed the dire straitened marriage urging treatment in modern society, Jia Cong felt a little wary in his heart.Relatives and friends in modern society say this either out of concern, or they are enthusiastic citizens who like to meddle in other people's business. Although it is annoying, most of them do not have any intentions.But for people like Mrs. Xing who have no profit and can't afford to go early, it will not be so simple.

"No hurry, no hurry," Jia Cong said slowly to everyone that he must first focus on his own work, and after gaining a firm foothold in the officialdom, it will not be too late to find a good marriage carefully.As for the grandfather and grandmother, the two old people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and now they are in good health, and they will live a long life. They also asked themselves to make a good choice.

"Husband and wife are a matter of life. It is good to get to know each other well, and to speculate on each other, so that they can live in harmony." Jia Cong sighed.Love can pursue the brilliance of a moment, but if a marriage wants to be happy for a long time, in addition to love, it needs more things, such as the three views that agree with each other, and appreciation, understanding and support for each other. Compromise and change and so on.This is for your own sake, but also for the responsibility and love for the other party.In this society, women have a much harder life than men.In the face of an unhappy marriage, men still have a way out.They can deal with it indifferently, and have a wider world outside to let them roam and pursue career success.It doesn't matter if you are at odds with your wife, you can take concubines to make up for your emotional needs.But women can only suffer and suffer in an unhappy marriage.

Outstanding female poets in ancient times, such as Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen, all endured the torment of unlucky marriages, and they were still women of status and status.Let’s take the Red Chamber Book as an example. Not to mention that the most persecuted, such as Yingchun, was tortured to death by an evil husband; even Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Xue Baochai did not have much happiness in their marriages; Wang Xifeng, who also committed many crimes, also deserves sympathy in terms of her marriage with Jia Lian.

Therefore, Jia Cong has long made up his mind that he will adhere to the ethics of modern people, will not take concubines in the future, and live a good life with his wife as a couple for the rest of their lives.So naturally, it is necessary to choose a future wife with a very serious attitude, and consider all aspects.

"Where is there such a saying that marriage is 'the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker'. How can a man and a woman of the younger generation make their own decisions? When I married into the Jia family, the old lady came to see me. I have never met the old man. " Mrs. Xing objected disapprovingly.She couldn't agree with Jia Cong's words. When it comes to understanding each other, Xing Xiuyan basically has no hope with Jia Cong.When Xing Yanyan settled in the Grand View Garden, Jia Cong had long since left Jia's family.Xiuyan only heard his name, but never saw him.

"That's right, 'Parents' orders, matchmaker's words'!" Jia Cong said calmly, deliberately emphasizing the words "Parents' orders".Everyone present heard the meaning of his words, and couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Brother Cong," Jia She couldn't help scolding in embarrassment, "my wife and I used to be your parents, don't tell me you don't recognize people in a blink of an eye. Now in your family, Mrs. Ru and his wife are old, and they used to be your parents. If you don't know anyone, we naturally have to worry about your marriage for you, what's wrong!"

"Uncle She has also studied, and he must be clear about patriarchal etiquette. You were joking with me just now, right?" Jia Cong sneered: "Forget it, since Uncle She said so, I don't know which Auntie She is optimistic about." woman?"

Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "Brother Cong, that is my niece Xiuyan, she is the most gentle and virtuous girl, she will be able to manage the house rigorously, serve you and Mrs. Ru couple well, and there will be no mistakes."

In the red building, Xing Xiuyan is a woman like a wild crane, born in a poor family, but she lives very clearly. Facing the luxury and wealth in the Grand View Garden and the snobbish attitude of others, she is still neither humble nor overbearing, stable and dignified.Therefore, in the end, she was able to reap a stable and peaceful life in this world, which is even more rare among the tragic lives of many golden hairpins.Jia Cong has an appreciation for her, but he knows in his heart that although Xing Xiuyan is good, he is not a suitable candidate for marriage.

"Auntie Forgiveness, Miss Xing is indeed a good girl, she is quiet and not surprised by favor or insult. But, I will not choose her." Jia Cong said bluntly: "Marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, not just between a man and a woman. Fact. Ms. Xing has a good personality, but her background and family are really not good enough. If I met her when I was humble, then no matter how prosperous I am in the future, I will not dislike her. A poor wife will not go to court I can't forget the love we have for each other! But now, Miss Xing and I have never lived together, so naturally we have to weigh carefully, Miss Xing is not suitable for me."

Mrs. Xing's heart froze, but she couldn't refute.Jia Cong's words made perfect sense, and she couldn't tell what was wrong.Jia Cong's current status is aloof, and once her complexion cools down, she can't help feeling a little awed by her dignified appearance.She gradually realized deeply that she was no longer a concubine who could be manipulated by the identity of the aunt!It is a young Jinshi who is not yet a weak crown and is about to become an official. The old lady has to coax him carefully. Once he breaks out of his cocoon and becomes a butterfly, he will skyrocket and no one can hold back the Jia family!

She muttered a few times, then lowered her voice, and said weakly: "Brother Cong, I understand that Xiuyan's current status is a bit high, but I think, everyone is relatives, you have always treated your subordinates Treat everyone kindly, regardless of family background, so"

"Or, let Xiuyan be a concubine for you! You will never treat her badly. Wouldn't it be a good thing to get married? I am an aunt, and I also plan for her, let her live Have a good day." Seeing Jia Cong's eyebrows wrinkled, Mrs. Xing immediately changed her words.Jia Amnesty also nodded in agreement, and Jia Lian had no choice but to agree.

"Auntie Pardon, let your niece be a concubine, how much hatred do you have with her?" Jia Cong sneered and said, "Do you still expect me to treat her specially for the sake of my relatives? As a concubine , in terms of etiquette, she is naturally inferior to others. If a regular wife wants to grind a concubine's room, there are plenty of ways, and she can be dealt with without shouting and beating her to make her life worse than death!"

"Second Brother Lian understands this very well, doesn't he?" Jia Cong said to Jia Lian with a bit of sarcasm, "Second Brother Lian has never loved Second Sister You, but what happened to Second Sister You in the end? You can't protect her at all! With such a lesson learned from the past, how can you still say something in agreement?"

Jia Lian's face turned pale, and she felt ashamed in her heart. She immediately closed her lips tightly and did not speak again.

"Auntie Pardon, for Miss Xing's good, I advise you not to plot against her anymore, and use her as a sacrifice!" Jia Cong said bluntly: "Find her a good family in a serious way, and live a peaceful and beautiful life, which is also a good deed." With Miss Xing's character, she will remember your kindness for the rest of her life!"

Thinking of the happy marriage of Xing Xiuyan in the book, Jia Cong felt that he should follow the original book and perfect the pair of men and women with good personalities, so he suggested: "I have met Xue Biao from the Xue family. Besides, Xue's family has a simple population, they are in business, and they have a lot of money, so they won't pick on Miss Xing's family background. Aren't they a match made in heaven? Living a comfortable and comfortable life like this is no better than looking at others in an official's house How about keeping a low voice?" ——Look at yourself, in this half of your life, apart from being more materially affluent, you have also lived a miserable life, do you want your niece to follow your old path?

Jia Cong's attitude was resolute, and Jia She and his wife had nothing to do with him if he didn't want oil and salt.Jia Amnesty would beat up Jia Lian if he disagreed with him, but for Jia Cong, he is now tied up, without any support, and he has to think about scolding him.Mrs. Xing was forced by his sharp words, and touched her heart a little bit, she lowered her head and did not speak.

Seeing the stagnation in the atmosphere, Jia's mother began to chat with Jia Cong about some household matters, and asked about Grandpa Ru's health. Does Grandma Ru still go to Fahua Temple to offer incense every month?This year, the lotus and lotus roots in the Grand View Garden are growing well. You can bring some back home for your grandparents to try out. Baoyu also likes your collection of detective stories very much. He bought your new book and read it as soon as it came out, and told me about it.

Jia Cong also answered politely one by one.In this way, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing took the opportunity to go down the steps, not so embarrassing.Jia Cong only smiled lightly, and ignored them as if nothing had happened.Seeing Jia Cong's indifferent attitude and not paying attention to Jia She and the others, Jia's mother couldn't help having a headache, and sighed in her heart that this child is really cold-hearted!

A look of worry flashed in Jia's mother's eyes, but when she thought of the arrangement for Baoyu, she had to grit her teeth and said kindly that Jia Amnesty drank a few glasses of wine.Ma'am, help your master go to his house.Today is your birthday, and the servants will also kowtow to you, so there is no need to serve you anymore, just arrange it yourself.Lian'er, you don't need to stay here anymore, go and see the Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony in the palace, you are ready

Jia Cong was slightly surprised when Jia Mu sent Jia She away from the room. He didn't know what Jia Mu wanted to do, and he didn't want to stay for a long time.He was about to stand up and leave, but was stopped by Jia Mu.

"Brother Cong, your aunt has always been an embarrassing person. Don't take it for granted that she acts inappropriately! But she is right in saying that you are already successful in your career and have reached the age to start a family. Your grandfather and grandmother The matter is high, and I am looking forward to your happy event!" Mother Jia sighed.

Seeing that Jia Cong smiled and did not answer, she changed the subject again: "Then Xing Xiuyan is not good enough for you. You will be a civil servant in the future, so you should find a lady who is educated, sensible, and intelligent, and comes from a scholarly family." For a wife."

"If you can know the root and the bottom, and kiss more and more kisses, then it would be great!"

At this time, Jia Cong had a vague guess in his heart, but this guess was a bit beyond his expectation, which surprised him.He stared into Jia Mu's eyes and asked word by word: "Grandmother, who is this girl you are talking about?"

Mother Jia pursed her lips, with some hesitation on her face.But then, she paused and said the answer: "Look, what do you think of your sister Lin?"

Sister Lin, Lin Daiyu?Jia Cong only felt a 'boom', and a thunderbolt struck down from the sky, and his mind went blank.
