The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

Xing Yue counted the days, the second aunt's daughter Cui Miaolan's gift of makeup should also be sent there, this girl is not favored by her stepmother, she was betrothed by her stepmother to Shi Dalang This Shi Dalang was born and died, and he also made a lot of contributions in the battlefield. He is a military officer of the sixth rank.

After discussing with Jia She, Xing Yue and Jia She said that there is no shortage of fur, medicinal materials, or jewelry and jade, so they prepared 300 bolts of high-quality silk and satin, [-] bolts of fine cotton cloth, and ten sets of finely crafted clothes. Jewelry, gold and silver noodles, a pack of gold and silver dumplings, and [-] taels of silver.

After Jia Zheng knew about it, he asked Mrs. Wang to prepare a lot of things, and gave them 300 taels of silver. Although Mrs. Wang didn't give anything valuable, the things that came out of the Rongguo Mansion were rare and good things in the eyes of ordinary people. , and then brought the dowry list when the second aunt's grandmother got married, and sent Guanshi Zhang and Mrs. Feng beside Jia Amnesty to give gifts.

The matter of taking the third aunt back after the year has not been mentioned until now. Now that there is a filial piety in the family, this matter can only be mentioned in the next year, but in the third day, I will send someone to visit the third aunt, so the villain will not dare to bully They are mother and son.

Li Yunxiang picked up his mother, and went to the Hanlin Academy in a few days to go on business. Suddenly, one day, Zhang Qingshu, a Jinshi of the same department, came to visit. Zhang Qingshu was No. 2 in the second class, from a prominent family in Shandong, and now he is also a scholar in the Imperial Academy. They are nodding acquaintances here, but Zhang Qingshu didn't expect Zhang Qingshu to ask him to meet Jia Lian.

Li Yunxiang was confused for a moment, Jia Lian is now serving great merit, and usually returns home after leaving the Yamen, and never stays out to drink.When Li Yunxiang returned home, he was still thinking about this matter. Seeing that his son was in trouble, his mother asked him a question or two. Hearing that it was someone from the Zhang family in Shandong who wanted to see Jia Lian, he asked his son to stay calm and wait for her to see him tomorrow. Uncle will reply again.

The next day, my aunt went to see Jia She and Xing Yue. She had a good impression of Xing Yue. When she talked about it, she didn't shy away from Xing Yue. Xing Yue looked at Jia She who was thinking with his head down, and said, "Master Lian'er is always Zhang's nephew, so why not go and see her?"

Xing Yue didn't know about Jia She's writing to Zhang Junhao at all. He didn't know that Jia She's heart was complicated at this time. Zhang Junhao was not a heartless person after all. He was thinking about his sister and Lian'er.

"Big sister, just ask Yunxiang to agree to this matter. Let's make an appointment tomorrow night. I'll let Lian'er go to see her." I just hid in the study alone, and didn't even eat a bite.

In the evening, when Jia Lian came back, Jia Amnesty called him to the study, and only told him to make time tomorrow night to meet someone in this place, and asked Li Yunxiang to tell him who he was.

The aunt didn't tell her son about the relationship between the Zhang family and Jia Lian, so Jia Lian followed Li Yunxiang to see Zhang Qingshu in such a daze, Jia Lian and Li Yunxiang arrived first, ordered food, and Zhang Qingshu came in from the outside.

"Cousin, this is Zhang Qingshu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, from a prominent family in Shandong." After Li Yunxiang introduced the two of them, he took the opportunity to hide, knowing that the two might have something important to talk about.

When Jia Lian heard that Zhang's surname was a prominent family in Shandong, from Qing Dynasty, he guessed in his heart which uncle's son it was. "You are?" Jia Lian didn't know how to address Zhang Jinshi for a moment.

"You can call me big cousin, my father Zhang Junhao, cousin." Zhang Qingshu said with a smile. He knew since he was a child that one of his aunts died young. Because of this aunt's death, his father severed ties with his uncle's family. The aunt also left behind a son who was surprised by a letter from his father asking him to meet his cousin.

"Big Cousin" Jia Lian didn't expect someone from his uncle's family to come. He knew from Xing Yue that he still had an uncle. Within a few days, he asked someone else's name for his uncle. After all, Lin Ruhai was the second in the same class. , Zhang Junhao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, knew that there were still a lot of people, and then found out about many things about the Zhang family, the number one scholarly family in Shandong.

The Zhang family in Shandong has a large number of talents. In the mother's generation alone, there are three local officials, the eldest uncle Zhang Junhao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the third uncle Zhang Junyang, the governor of Sichuan Xuezheng, and a cousin who is the magistrate of Hangzhou. The second uncle was also a Jinshi. Instead of serving in the imperial court, he served as the dean in the academy, teaching and educating people.

When Jia Lian found out about this, he felt a little inferior in his heart. All the children of the Zhang family in Shandong were outstanding in literature. Even if the Zhang family got married, no matter they were married, they were all from a scholarly family. Only his mother married a military general. His father gave birth to him, and he was also incapable of writing or martial arts.

Regarding the matter of Zhang Junhao and his family, everyone who knows Zhang Junhao knows that the matter was aroused more than ten years ago. Because of the poor care of the Jia family, Zhang Junhao and his nephew Jia Hu died one after another. Angrily, he asked the Jia family to make a theory , and later took back her sister's dowry, and completely severed the relationship with Jia.But the details of the death of his brother and mother, after all, 20 years have passed, and he has not received any specific news.

"Cousin, my father asked me to come to see you. It seems that the Jia family did not hide things about the Zhang family from you." The Jia family that Zhang Qingshu said to his father probably would not mention the Zhang family in front of Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian heard this, she laughed mockingly, and said: "I grew up in front of my grandmother. Except for my father, almost no one mentioned my mother in front of me. I don't know what my mother looks like. My uncle's family even No one mentioned it, I thought there was no one in my uncle’s house.”

Zhang Qingshu was taken aback when he heard this, Jia Lian didn't seem to be ignorant, Jia Lian continued: "I heard about it from my stepmother, and then I did a secret investigation on my own, the Zhang family, a prominent family in Shandong, is not difficult to find out. "

Looking at Jia Lian's appearance, Zhang Qingshu couldn't help sighing, took out a scroll, handed it to Jia Lian, and said, "Father asked me to give you this aunt's portrait."

Jia Lian took it, but put it away without opening it, bowed to Zhang Qingshu, and thanked him.

"Cousin, let's get down to business. Apart from asking me to give you this painting, my father has other things to tell you. My uncle wrote a letter to my father after you joined the Ministry of Rites and asked my father to give it to you. Find an aide. Now this aide is on the way and will arrive soon. It is my master Tongke, Mu Jingyuan. This is Mr. Mu’s information. Take it back and have a look. Also, my father wrote to the Ministry of Rites Minister Gu, let him take care of you in the ministry." Zhang Qingshu explained clearly what his father had told him in his heart.

"Thank you, Uncle, for letting Uncle worry." After this incident, Jia Lian knew that Uncle still loved him very much.

The two didn't say much, and they didn't get along for a long time. After explaining some words, Zhang Qingshu went out. Jia Lian and Li Yunxiang came out of the restaurant after eating and drinking, while Zhang Qingshu went to another private room. Drinking with Tongke, it's as if this incident never happened.

However, although they were cautious, they couldn't escape the eyes of someone with a heart in this scene. This person with a heart is Prince Rui. Since he got Jia Lian to the Ministry of Rites, he never took care of him on the surface, but secretly watched all the movements of the Jia family. In his eyes, for example, Jia Amnesty wrote to Zhang Junhao, for example, Zhang Qingshu and Jia Lian met.

Prince Rui is very satisfied with this point. The Zhang family in Shandong has been passed down for many years, so they naturally have their own principles of handling things and will not get involved in court disputes. Prince Rui does not ask the Zhang family to support him, all he wants is Zhang Just a little bias at home.

When Jia Lian entered the house, he was invited to the study by Jia Amnesty. To his father, Jia Lian only talked about Zhang Junhao's arrangement and gave him a portrait of his mother. He didn't say much else. Death may be related to the old lady.

"Lian'er, you must really want to know why no one in the family has ever mentioned your mother and your uncle's family?" Jia She looked at his son, bowed his head in silence, smiled wryly, and then said, "You have grown up now , I should let you know." Jia Amnesty couldn't help thinking of Xing Yue's advice to tell Jia Lian what happened back then, but he was sorry for Mrs. Zhang and faced his son silently, and it has been delayed until now.

The Zhang family was born in a famous family with a scholarly family. If it wasn't for the Duke of the State who helped Zhang's father escape, or the Zhang family who had always only married with a scholarly family, they couldn't marry their daughter to him, because they were not chosen by themselves. The meritorious family, on the contrary, is the Zhang family who was born in a scholarly family. The old lady does not want to see him very much. The Zhang family also had Ding You. After the filial piety, the Zhang family was pregnant with Jia Lian and had a big belly, but she didn't get the old lady's pity, so she kept asking for peace every day.

Mrs. Zhang is pregnant and has to wait in front of the old lady. She has no energy to take care of her eldest son Jia Hu. The youngest son deliberately lures Jia Hu to the garden and falls off the rockery. When she is found, she is bleeding and unconscious. , deliberately let people delay the time, the imperial doctor was late, Jia Hu couldn't make it through, and died the next day.Unable to bear the blow, Mrs. Zhang gave birth prematurely and gave birth to Jia Lian, but she didn't survive and died early.

When Jia She was young, he didn't know the methods of the inner house, and he was filial to his mother, but he didn't tell Zhang from his mother, so Zhang lived in pain, and his eldest son and his wife were confused. Die, just think this is life.

When Ding You left, Zhang Junhao, who worked in Beijing, learned everything from Zhang's dowry, and went straight to the Rongguo Mansion to ask for an explanation for his sister. Back then, Jia Amnesty was really stupid, thinking that his mother was a loving mother, helping her everywhere Speaking, Zhang Junhao was completely pissed off. The lawsuit was brought before the late emperor. One was from a scholarly family, a wealthy family, and a meritorious family. The Zhang family and the Jia family completely severed the relationship, and pulled back all Zhang's dowry.

At this point, Jia Amnesty realized that the old lady was unfair to Zhang, but it was too late. Zhang broke off with the Jia family. When Zhang's name was crossed out, Jia Amnesty argued hard and abruptly handed over Rongxi Hall to Erfang in exchange, and handed over Jia Lian to the old lady to raise, so that Zhang still had a memorial tablet in Jia's house.

The old lady was reprimanded, and in order to save her reputation, she kept Jia Lian by her side, but she was not short of food or flowers. As for discipline, she didn't care. This Jia Lian also died early.

Later, when Jinshang ascended the throne, Jia's mother, as Jinshang's nanny, had an extraordinary status, and there were more people who flattered and flattered her, so naturally no one mentioned Zhang's family.

It wasn't until Jia Lian was eleven or twelve years old that Jia Amnesty found out that Zhang's death was related to the old lady and Mrs. Wang. At this time, Jia Amnesty took Jia Lian over under another name to prevent his son from being killed too.

Jia Amnesty didn't hide it from Jia Lian either, except for the fact that he was plotted against, he told Jia Lian everything else in detail, so that Jia Lian would be on guard against the old lady and the Wang family.

Jia Lian didn't expect their house to be so filthy, and their mother and elder brother died so tragically, "Father, why didn't you avenge your mother?"

"Revenge, why don't you want to take revenge for your father? There is no evidence for what you say. The first emperor has already made a conclusion on this, hey." Jia She sighed. Why didn't he want to take revenge? I can't stand the toss anymore, and if there is another incident, I am afraid that the Holy Majesty will directly seize the title.

Jia Lian has worked in the Ministry of Rites for more than half a year, and he knows what his father means. The family's ugliness cannot be publicized. Wang Ziteng is now the military envoy of the Beijing camp, and the Holy One is extremely dependent on him.

Thinking of the Wang family, she thought of Wang Xifeng, filled with disgust, and asked, "Father, why did you let me marry Wang's niece?" He married the niece of his enemy.

"Lian'er, for my father's sake, the method of the Wang family is to let the big family cut off their sons and grandchildren. If you marry a daughter from another family, you may end up like your mother. Only by marrying a daughter from the Wang family can you have a child and keep the big family. Fang's bloodline, no matter how vicious Mrs. Wang is, he can't do it to his niece, but the facts have proved that Mrs. Wang is a cruel person after all, and your wife is so stupid." Jia She gave a reason.

"In the early years, I saw that the old lady and the Wang family would not let you stand out. As a father, I saw that you would not be successful in literature and martial arts, and I didn't expect you to have much promise. In the future, you will become a noble and live a rich life. A peaceful life, a safe and peaceful life is enough. Originally, I didn't intend to tell you these things so early, but who would have thought that you got the attention of Prince Rui and entered the Ministry of Rites as an errand. As a father, you have to plan a thing or two for you. Your uncle looks at you For your mother's sake, come forward to help you, and in the future you have to be a errand, and don't let your uncle and mother's face be blackened." Jia Amnesty told Jia Lian to do one or two.

"Jia Shi Wang Xue, the four major families, just save face, stay less intimate with these people, and learn more from your cousins, with a Jinshi background, you will have a bright future in the future."

Jia Lian went out of the study and walked to his yard. Thinking of Wang Xifeng who lived there, he felt uncomfortable. He turned around and went to the study, opened the scroll, and looked at the portrait of his mother hugging his brother. He couldn't calm down for a long time.
