The widowed mother of the red mansion

Among the old families in Jinling, there was a branch that was related to historians at first, but after Ningrong and Rongfu moved to Beijing, they moved less, until now that Jia's family and others returned to the old house, they gradually resumed contact.The emperor still has three families of straw sandals, and there are also poor people in the rich family. In this branch, there is a young man named Jia Che, who is not only inferior to his relatives, but even ordinary people.

His family was rich and rich, but suddenly his parents fell ill, and his mother and mother's family were some naughty gangsters. After the death of the two relatives, they not only lost all the property, but also owed a whole lot of debt. Now they only live in the uncle's house. .The uncle is not bad-hearted, but his mouth is a little broken on weekdays, and he often says it to shame: "My son, you are pure in nature, and you have been tricked a lot since you were a child. People lied to me. A few years ago, my hands were more generous. Didn’t I give you ten taels of silver to teach you how to do business? In the end, not to mention the loss of capital, I was beaten so hard that I almost couldn’t recognize it. I’m your father An old brother, he is pitiful, he left early with his brothers and sisters, and only your little flesh and blood is left with me, so how can I feel relieved all day long!" After saying that, he beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Most of Jia Che blushed: "Nephew is useless, it's a drag on uncle."

His uncle said: "Stupid boy, I am your uncle, and I shouldn't. It's just that your aunt has not been in good health in recent years, and your brothers are all married, and you have a lot of children. You can't see it every day." You live there. Anyway, you try to get married and start a business earlier, so I like it when I look at it."

Jia Che touched his head in embarrassment, and after resigning from his uncle, he went out to the street.He thought about it for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when Jia's mansion came back to hold a banquet for relatives and friends, he went to drink with his uncle and brothers, and said a few words to the second master Lian in the mansion, and he even praised him Sincerely, why don't you touch her like this?If it works out, it's good, but if it doesn't work out, just treat it as a relative, there's nothing wrong with it.

When he arrived at the gate of Jia's mansion, he sent a message from the concierge, and after a while, a young man came out and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, our master is free, come with me."

He just felt relieved after hearing this, and followed closely into the mansion.The last time I entered this mansion, it was dark at night and I couldn't see clearly. This time someone led me, so I couldn't help but look around, sighing in my heart that the mansion is gorgeous and luxurious.

The young man didn't know what was going on in his heart, and said with a smile: "You will arrive through the courtyard, the master has already informed, you just go straight in."

Jia Che thanked the servant, and walked in with his skirt intact.I saw Jia Lian wearing a home-made dark green painted bamboo robe, sitting on a chair looking at something, and when he saw him coming, he turned around and sat down with a smile: "Although there are many relatives here, there are few people who come to the door - what I told you last time is still there." It's just that you are polite and don't want to walk around. How is your uncle?"

Jia Che hastily cupped his hands and said, "The old man can eat and sleep, and Second Uncle is always busy and dare not disturb him."

Jia Lian frowned: "What is there to be busy with? How many serious errands can I have here!" He put down the account book in his hand and said with a smile: "I will go out in a while, so don't be restrained, just sit down as you like, if it's okay, let's have a few drinks Tea, drink next time; if there is something important, don't be afraid to speak up."

Jia Che's face turned red, and after a while, Ai Ai said: "Second Uncle is so straightforward, I shouldn't have used it as a cover. I told Second Uncle that I have been sending food to Uncle's house all the time. I have hands and feet but nothing to do. I'm ashamed. Second Uncle has a lot of people here, and things are complicated, so there must be some places that need help..."

Jia Lian interrupted him, and said with a smile: "It's not a coincidence for you to come. Our house is not the same as before. There are dozens of things in a mess every day. Now I'm free, not to mention that there is a capable grandma in charge of it. It's irrelevant."

Seeing Jia Lian say this, Jia Che was a little disappointed, so he had to be honest: "What Second Uncle said is true, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't come here to make things difficult for Second Uncle."

Jia Lian looked at his expression, and couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing what he said: "Your uncle is right, he's such an honest boy. He also showed me this intention when we were drinking last time, but you never came to the door Come on, the job that was originally reserved for you has been replaced by someone else."

Jia Che was both grateful and regretful: "I'm useless, I've wasted both of your thoughts."

Jia Lian waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I just remembered, the sky is getting colder, and no one has yet handled the ice charcoal in the two newly opened courtyards of our mansion. If you don't mind, then go ahead with this matter first."

Seeing that things turned around, Jia Che couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I don't dare to pick and choose, thank you, Second Uncle, for your appreciation."

Jia Lian said: "Don't rush to be happy, there is not much money, so it's not easy to fool. The grandmas who live in those two yards are rich and expensive people. You have to pick better ones and send them. Don't make them unhappy and cause trouble. "

Jia Che agreed one by one.

Someone came to invite Jia Lian outside, so he said to Jia Che, "I want them to take you for a stroll in the yard. You will come here often in the future. If you get lost, it will be a joke. I'll excuse you first, you can do it yourself."

Jia Che hurriedly sent Jia Lian away respectfully.He misunderstood the meaning of Jia Lian's words before leaving. Jia Lian's original intention was to let him stroll in this yard, but he thought that he would often go to the newly opened yard in the future, and he had to step on the road first, so he found a young man to pair up with him. He said: "Brother, please lead me to have a look at the two newly opened courtyards in the mansion."

The young man was surprised and said: "It's inevitable that you will bump into the female relatives at this point, why should you go to see it?"

Jia Che said: "I don't know either, Master Cai gave this order just before leaving, if it's troublesome then forget it."

The boy was afraid that Jia Lian would blame him, so he said with a smile: "Since the second master said so, then there is no problem. I think the two grandmas are not here for something at the moment, just let me go and have a look."

As soon as he entered the flower garden between Qingge Courtyard and Yixiang Courtyard, Jia Che was completely shocked.Originally, Jia Lian's courtyard opened his eyes very much, but these two beautiful courtyards with different styles shocked him for a long time and he was speechless: "Living in this kind of place for a day is worth dying for." .”

The young man was very proud, and said with a smile: "These two courtyards are really good. Originally, there was a big area like this in the Beijing Central Mansion. There are all kinds of beautiful things. It is called the Grand View Garden. Even the empress and the princess agreed after seeing it."

Jia Che recited a Buddha.

The boy was suddenly anxious, and said: "Brother, just stay here and have a look, don't go far, I will come as soon as I go."

Jia Che said: "You go, I will never go anywhere."

After the servant left, Jia Che really stood there without saying a word, concentrating on looking at the scenery in the flower garden.Suddenly, a chuckle was heard from far away, as if two young women were walking towards the flower garden. The voice was like a fairy voice, and Jia Che's bones went numb when he heard it.I'm a big man, it's not good to hit me, I'd better hide.

So he dodged and hid in the rockery, only to see two women floating towards them. After seeing their faces clearly, Jia Che lost all three souls, including seven souls:

It was Li Wan and Dai Yu who came.Li Wan was wearing a green willow gown with a silver and white satin flower skirt; Daiyu was wearing a lake blue thin jacket and a snow-colored beaded fringed skirt. The two talked and laughed hand in hand, their beauty set off the surrounding flowers More energetic, just like a fairy in the Heavenly Palace traveling in a fairyland.

"I love green plums very much, but it's a pity that this place is not suitable for planting, even if it is hard to find." Li Wan said.

"Is there something you can't get? I just think you can get even the jade lotus in front of the Buddha's seat." Daiyu laughed.

Both of them were stunning, but after being shocked, Jia Che gradually only looked at Li Wan bewilderedly.She seemed to be a beautiful portrait carved from ice and snow, so beautiful that she was not like a real person, without any flaws.The tender blue clothes gave off a cool jade texture on her body, and the snow-white skin and the bright green jade bracelet on her wrist reflected each other, reminiscent of the green bamboo water shadow, the person in the dream painting.

After the two left, Jia Che came out of the rockery in a daze.The boy came back just in time, seeing that Jia Che did not run around, he said happily, "It's still a worry-free person like my brother who deserves to be respected. Those who don't know the rules and run around will bury me and be scolded for nothing. It's getting late Alright, I'll take my brother back."

Jia Che asked the boy, "Who lives in such a beautiful courtyard?"

The boy said: "They are the two daughters-in-law of our political father."

Jia Che murmured: "She's not a very outstanding beauty, and she can't match such a courtyard..."

The little servant smiled: "My brother really guessed it right. The two grandmas in our house are both first-class in appearance, but the eldest grandma is Zhuang Su, and the second grandma is weaker. However, if you come to the If you go outside, you will be dazzled."

It was only then that Jia Che realized that the woman who made him feel as if he had been shot was actually the grandma of the Jia family. He couldn't help feeling happy and sad, and went to the management office to collect 50 taels of silver and went home with all kinds of thoughts.When his uncle saw that he brought such a sum of money, he couldn't help asking and asking, but he didn't even have the energy to respond. He just pushed his body back to bed early when he felt uncomfortable, and tossed and turned all night.

Li Wan didn't know that the young man's various emotions were aroused by the stroll between herself and Daiyu in the flower garden, and her attention was all focused on Jia Li's letter back.

It was rare for Jia Li to reply to the letter, but the contents of the letter made Li Wan flustered inexplicably.Because of his outstanding performance, he was appreciated by the heroic generals, and he was soon promoted to lieutenant general, leading the soldiers to fight on the front line.Although Jia Li deliberately downplayed it, Li Wan understood that the civil service on the front line was completely different from that on the rear.The battlefield has already taken his life once, so how could Li Wan not be afraid of well ropes for ten years?

The coastal areas are often harassed by Japanese pirates, but this time they are abnormally strong, and there seems to be a faint intention behind the Japanese king.The country is corrupt, and there are very few people who can fight. The situation of this confrontation is unpredictable. It may be reversed at any time, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Naturally, Jia Zheng also got the news, and his feelings were very complicated.Jia Li is a son that makes him very proud, and he doesn't want any accidents for Jia Li. Although it is often said that wealth and wealth come in danger, and the two old princes of the Ningrong Second Mansion also made their fortunes with military exploits, he subconsciously prefers to be ordinary. Steady and steady promotion of civil servants, honoring the ancestors.

But at this moment, how could he ask Jia Li to come back?Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is atonement for Jia She's big mistake.Abandoning Jia Amnesty and protecting Jia Li regardless of brotherhood will not only make people criticize, but will also lead to the early collapse of the undercurrent of the Jia Mansion, which is not what he wants to see.

The reason why Jia Amnesty colluded with foreign officials was that he didn't dare to think about the deep meaning.In essence, he is a pedantic and pitiful person, but he does not lose his integrity. The various mysteries and fears entangled in him made him already frustrated, and he added a lot of gray hair to his temples.
