[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

The concubine and the concubine are all the children of the aunt in name. No matter Tanchun or Jia Huan, they will obey Mrs. Wang's arrangement in the future.Hearing Wang Xifeng talk about Tanchun being embarrassed by Mrs. Wang recently, Lin Yun knew that it was Mrs. Wang who tried her best to facilitate this marriage.

No matter how ignorant the Jia family man was, he never fought fiercely against women at home.They probably can't imagine such a scene, so they think that such a thing does not exist.

Lin Yun sneered.

"It seems that the second wife really wants a dowry gift, why didn't I know that you are now like this?"

"Don't say it."

Wang Xifeng waved his hands, his face full of shame.

"When I was housekeeper, although there were complaints from all over the world, I was able to guarantee the monthly expenses, but now it is difficult to guarantee the family expenses. Last month, my monthly bill was more than ten days late, let alone others. Like stability, the wife sent money and supplements, including half a year's income of the family."

Back then, Jia's mansion had a state official's salary, which could support all expenses.Now how can there be so many Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng?According to the previous ostentation, but also to support a concubine, isn't it just that the poorer you are, the poorer you are, the more you give?

Wang Xifeng tugged on her sleeve to reveal the silver bracelet on her hand.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Now I don't dare to bring out good jewelry. I'm afraid of being seen and pierced. According to them, my dowry is enough for my eldest sister, and your second brother Lian will save some for Zhige." , I don’t count on them, and they don’t count on me.”

Having said that, there is a lot of panic in my heart.

"I am the person who manages the house. I know the emptiness of the house. Who knows if I can last until the two children grow up. Haven't told you yet? Miss Yun got married this month and hurriedly married a merchant's family. The old lady sent me Send her 3000 taels of money, and the scene of getting married is not even half of the day you were hired."

"marriage?"

Lin Yun widened his eyes.The house is in a mess, and the Jia family can't take care of it. How can they have the energy to manage the historian?Even if I hear it by accident, I am afraid that I will forget it when I turn around.

"Why are you in such a hurry, something happened to the historian?"

"You guess like that too? That's what your second elder brother Lian said. He also told me not to associate with the Shi family. Anyway, I don't care about the house now, and no matter who comes to the door, don't care."

Lowering her voice, Wang Xifeng was still a little bit afraid.

"It's the Zhen family first, and then the historian. I feel more and more uneasy. There are a lot of bastards in our family. Although Ping'er and Xiaohong are released, if there is a day, what use will it be?"

Tearing the handkerchief, Wang Xifeng was in a state of disarray.

As long as there is a title in the family, she will definitely not be willing to let go. Who knows if she can turn things around before reaching the final desperate situation?What's more, there are still empresses in the palace, and now they are just making two-handed preparations, just in case.

Seeing her demeanor, Lin Yun knew that it would be impossible to persuade her, so she simply refused to persuade her.

"I know you are very strong and shrewd, just know what's going on in your heart."

Count?What can be counted, but it is a dying struggle with luck.

Wang Xifeng gave a wry smile, got up and straightened her clothes.

"I don't have anything else to do, so I'll leave first. Miss Yun is getting married, and the old lady probably doesn't feel at ease, so she asked me to go to Feng's house with your second brother Lian, and discuss how to advance the date of marriage. She said that it doesn't matter. Well, the old lady dare not refuse the job she personally sent, let alone her own sister."

Wang Xifeng hurried out without Lin Yun waving her hand.Two hours later, I went back to Jia's house to announce the good news to Jia's mother.

"The old general of the Feng family also meant the same thing. He said that Mr. Feng was worried about being alone in Fujian without anyone to take care of him, and he was too embarrassed to come to the door. Since we said it, he simply mentioned that before this year, let the young couple go together for the New Year. Being busy, you can also take the opportunity to cultivate emotional closeness."

Wang Xifeng has always been able to speak, which made Jia's mother very satisfied.

"It's better for the old in-laws to think about it. They get close and lively during the New Year together. What's the point of the child being alone in Fujian? Then you discuss to finish the ceremony as soon as possible, so as not to delay the good deeds of the two children."

"Look at what you said, this is my own sister, how can I delay? Isn't this just coming back to discuss the dowry list with your ancestors, over there in the big house... You know, I'm a junior, I don't want to talk nonsense."

Wang Xifeng half-covered her mouth, mumbled but made a complaint.

What's in the big room?Isn't it Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing!One is greedy for money and lust, and the other is afraid that the master will not be reasonable, and any important matter will be messed up in their hands.

Mother Jia snorted coldly, pointed at Wang Xifeng and asked her earnestly.

"Don't worry about them, just do it. When the time comes, show me the list, and you don't have to listen to what others say."

"With your words, I can rest assured. Who doesn't know that you are the one who loves your granddaughter the most? Then I will go over and tell the good news to the second girl, so that she can be happy and get ready."

Smiling and stepping out of Rongqing Hall, Wang Xifeng restrained himself instantly, and ordered in a cold voice.

"Ask someone to bring me the betrothal gift form from the warehouse, and the cashier. Then send someone to find the second girl and ask her to come to my place at night. Also, if the second master comes back, let him go first Talk to me, there is something important."

Without Ping'er and Xiaohong, Wang Xifeng chose two other maids to serve, although they were not as quick and quick as them, but they could barely do.

Busy in and out, preparing gifts and inviting people to count the auspicious time, finally set the wedding date in October, and walked for more than a month on the road, just in time to arrive in Fujian.

After checking, the Feng family was notified, and when the date was set, two more boxes of gifts were sent.

Staggeringly, he carried it into the big room, half as a tribute to Jia Amnesty, and half as an addition to Wang Xifeng's dowry list.No matter how fierce Jia's mother said angrily, Jia Amnesty was his father after all, and he couldn't let him touch the gift at all.

Aunt Zhao followed the servants to watch the fun, enviously envious.

"My God, how much are so many good things worth?"

She couldn't take advantage of things for Yingchun, so she couldn't help thinking about Tanchun.

"In the future, if you visit a girl to engage in marriage, those things will definitely belong to the master, and you must give me a share. If there is a few hundred taels, I will be satisfied."

The more I think about it, the more beautiful it becomes, and I even have sweet dreams when I go to bed at night.One day, while strolling outside, I heard a woman gossiping, so I hurried over to eavesdrop.

"I heard that the second girl's dowry is already tens of thousands of taels, not counting the 5000 taels that the old lady wants to give. Such money will never be spent in a lifetime."

"No, the only pity is to go to Fujian, otherwise it would be a blessing to have so much money in the capital. You said that the second girl was an idiot like a wooden man since she was a child, but she was so lucky to be so lucky. If the third girl is very capable, she will be able to do it in the future." How much?"

"How much does it matter to us? Can it be distributed to you and me? But I heard that the Sun family's dowry was 1 taels back then, plus other treasures, I am afraid that 20 taels will not be enough."

"Really? Such a good marriage, why did it end? It's a pity. They all want to marry my daughter."

"Hey, people don't like your daughter. Ten thousand taels is a big amount, and I will definitely not have it in the future. The third girl may regret it."

The two women went away laughing and chatting gossip, thinking that no one would hear them, and they could use random things as conversation material.

But I don't know that Aunt Zhao's eyes turned red when she heard this, angry and regretful.

"1 taels, that's 1 taels! Why didn't the master give me two or 3000 taels? No, no, why was I so confused at the time!"

Her intestines were all green, so Aunt Zhao gave her two mouths and rushed to Qiushuangzhai.

"Girl, girl! How about the matter with the Sun family, but there is still a chance? Don't miss such a good family."

Tanchun was painting, and with a flick of his wrist, he dropped huge ink dots on the paper.

Serving books and studying ink, seeing the painting destroyed, she glared at Aunt Zhao angrily.

"Auntie came here in such a hurry, how can she talk nonsense, this is also a girl who can make a decision? The old lady, the lady has the final say."

Aunt Zhao pushed her away and stood next to Tanchun, smiling brightly.

"I was talking nonsense last time. How did I know that the Sun family had so many betrothal gifts? Miss, please take care of me. Such a good family should find a way to marry them."

Yesterday, Mrs. Wang reprimanded her because of the Sun family's affairs, but today her mother came to tease her again, Tan Chun took a deep breath, and her eyes shone brightly.

"Who's family can't afford the dowry, why are they good people? Where did my aunt listen to the gossip and go crazy in front of me, then Sun Shaozu has already been arrested and thrown into prison. If we get engaged, let alone get the dowry, we may even be implicated. "

"Caught in prison?"

Aunt Zhao backed away in horror, she only listened to Yin Zi, but she didn't know about this, and Jia Zheng would not tell her about the outside world.

The waiter came over to push her and take back his seat.

"Auntie was deceived by others and thought that the Sun family was a good person. Did you forget what Brother Huan said? You said that the Sun family looked down on Brother Huan, not to mention not being engaged, even if they were engaged As a wife, is it possible that Auntie still expects to share the benefits?"

Aunt Zhao is stupid, even the servant can read her mind and resolve it in a few words.

She was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh.

"Okay, the Sun family did a good job! They almost deceived me. Could it be that they want a thief's son-in-law? It's just those women who gossip, see if I don't pull out their tongues!"

Roll up your sleeves and rush out.

The waiter looked around, a little worried.

"Girl, how about I stop it?"

"Need not."

Tanchun tore the ruined painting to the side, and took out another piece of paper.

"Anyway, everyone knows that my wife is dissatisfied with me, so why hide it? Years of filial piety have been in vain. I'm not afraid of embarrassment if I make a scene."

The tip of the pen falls on the paper, but it draws a rock, adding and modifying it, and it becomes a rockery.

Because of her status as a concubine, she was stronger than others since she was a child. She has endured so much hardship and shed so many tears, and she didn't even dare to take care of her own brothers.

Mrs. Wang did not give up the idea of ​​using Tanchun to exchange Yuanchun's future. If the Sun family fails, there will naturally be another family.If Jia Zhengwai is not here, why not let her make the decision?

But they were always dissatisfied with each other, and it was so easy to pick two that were barely pleasing to the eye and bring them to Mother Jia, and rejected them before she was ready to speak.

"The second girl's marriage is scheduled for this year. This is our family's top priority besides the empress. Wait a minute for Tanya, she is still young. When you greet the empress, you also bring Tanya in. Are they relatives?" Sister, talking with your mother can also be a relief."

Mrs. Wang clenched her handkerchief tightly, grinning stiffly, and forced a response through her teeth.

"Yes, tomorrow I will pass the booklet to the empress, and see when I can go in."

Yuanchun was nearly half pregnant, and Mother Jia was afraid that she would give birth to a princess.If the Jia family was in its prime, princes and princesses would be fine, but now the situation must be princes.Although general elections and minor elections are avoided, there are always other ways.

However, the situation in the palace can be manipulated by them at will?

There is no difference between the former dynasty and the later palace, it is all politics.The Taishanghuang's serious illness made the already perilous harem even more dangerous. Mrs. Wang's book hadn't arrived yet, and Yuanchun's table was already stacked half a foot thick. Who didn't care about the old wives, concubines, and wives?

Yuan Chun looked through them one by one, frowning.

"Your Majesty Long En, all heirs in the family who have achieved success are authorized to be officials. Pian Baoyu doesn't have a skill, so what can I do."

Baoqin came in to pour tea, comforting softly.

"Our second master is also smart."

"Who is not smart? My father urged him to take the exam. If he can pass the high school, I will speak well for him, lest the result is already determined."

Those whose families have elders who understand and who have accomplished descendants have long quietly joined the new emperor.The remaining ones who cling to the seriously ill Supreme Emperor and refuse to let go are because they cannot let go, even if they are on the verge of falling.

Yuan Chun smiled wryly, ordered Baoqin to put away the folder, and lowered his head to touch his protruding belly.

"Let's delay for a while, the baby in the womb and Baoyu are both doing this, don't act rashly, just be careful."
