Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Yuan Chun cried: "Grandma, if you have anything to say, just tell your granddaughter, no matter how difficult it is, your granddaughter will do it for you."

Mother Jia nodded: "I know you are filial, that's good, go back and clean up, let's go back to Jinling together, girls."

Yuan Chun was taken aback: "Grandmother?"

This is wrong!

Grandma had told her before that Jia Lian and his father, Jia Zheng, should go back to Jinling for the funeral, and stay in the capital to take care of the government affairs of the Rongguo Mansion!

Mother Jia waved her hand: "Let's do it like this!"

Yuan Chun glanced at Jia Lian and closed her eyes. She knew that if she went to Jinling, she might never return.Can we start all over again after returning to Jinling?

Yuan Chun regretted it very much. If she had listened to Jia Lian and Jia Rong's persuasion and refused to go to Nanyuan alone, would she still be staying in the palace well now?

Yuan Chun's tears of regret finally fell!

Time cannot be turned back, there is no medicine for regret in the world!

On that day, Wang's mourning hall was built, because Jia's mother, Jia Amnesty, and Jia Zhengju were all alive. Although Wang lived in Rongxi Hall during his lifetime, he was not eligible to stop mourning at Rongxi Hall after his death. Wang's mourning hall was set up in Rongxi Hall On the right side is the courtyard where Wang lived before her death, which is very commensurate with her status as a five-rank gentleman.

On the same day, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, and Ding You's papers were delivered to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials reported them. As a result, Emperor Qianyuan approved Jia Zheng and Ding You, and Jia Lian's papers were taken away.The emperor allowed Jia Lian a half-month vacation to handle housework, and he went to the post immediately after Wang's enlightenment.

It was lifted the next day.

The four kings and eight princes of the capital all sent people to the door to express their condolences, and the wives and grandmothers who stayed behind in Kyoto came to express their condolences to the in-laws of the Wang family and the Zhang family historians.

Wang Zisheng and his wife came to the Wang family and Wang Ren, the only son of the Wang family. Regarding Wang's death, Wang Zisheng and his wife kept silent.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ren's two or five eyes would actually incite Baoyu to cry in the mourning hall: "Where did your mother live before, why is she thrown out of the main room now that she is dead?"

But Baoyu said: "Cousin, don't get me wrong, my mother has been living here since she was ill!"

Wang Ren called Baoyu stupid.Disgusted by the fact that the Wang family did not stop at Lingrongxi Hall, he repeatedly instigated Baoyu to cry.

Wang Renzhi's words were soon brought to Jia Lian by Lin Zhixiao.

Sister Feng is so angry that her liver hurts, is this her own brother, how much she hates her!Fortunately, all the relatives who came here today are relatives of the same family. If outsiders hear about it, they don't know how to arrange their husband and wife.

But Jia Lian ordered people to go to Rongxi Hall to invite Wang Zisheng to tell Wang Renzhi what he said.

Hearing this, Wang Zisheng became furious, raised his hand and slapped Wang Ren until his mouth and nose were bleeding, and then sent someone to arrest him and go home.

But say historians.

Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding was an official in the south, because he received a letter from his elder brother Shi Nai, knowing that southern Xinjiang was not peaceful and that war might break out soon, so Shi Ding rushed to send his family back to Kyoto.

The historian returned to Beijing just in time for Wang's funeral.

Shi Xiangyun happened to return to the capital with her aunt, and came to condolences with her aunt again this day.

Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to stay in Jia's mansion for a few days to relax and relax. She hoped that Jia's mother would ask her to keep her, but she must have died as Jia's younger generation.

Mother Jia always likes pretty girls, but this time she has no heart.The entire Rongqing hall was in turmoil, because Jiamu was going back to Jinling to accompany Yuanchun through the most difficult days of her life. Jiamu had many things to arrange, and she didn't have the heart to appease Shi Xiangyun.

Not only Jia's mother is like this, but Sister Feng, Baoyu and Daiyu Sanchun have no time to comfort her.

Sister Feng already has a big belly, and she doesn't even take care of housework, so how can she have time to entertain Shi Xiangyun!

Now Yingchun and Li Wan are handling all the affairs in the mansion, Yingchun is busy like a spinning top.She likes Shi Xiangyun, but unfortunately, she has no time to distract herself.

Daiyu didn't even bother to comfort Shi Xiangyun, she was busy packing her things, and Mother Jia was going back to Jinling. Daiyu had come to join Mother Jia, and this time she had to follow her back to Jinling.

Compared with Jia Zheng, Yuan Chun and Baoyu who were in the second room were depressed, Daiyu was full of joy because Jinling was very close to Yangzhou, so she could go back to visit her father often.

Tanchun didn't even bother to comfort Xiangyun. She lost her aunt, and her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was still being detained by Jia Mu. Her life and death were uncertain.

Baoyu couldn't count on it even more. His mother was very terrified when his mother died.He will go back to Jinling in a few days, and now he has to kowtow in front of the spirit every day, and he is powerless to win over Shi Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun came here full of hope, but in the end he couldn't rely on anyone and had to return disappointed.

Sister Feng was reluctant to part with Daiyu, and wanted to keep her to help Yingchun, but Daiyu was eager to return home, and Sister Feng couldn't stop her family reunion, so she had to give up.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first seven of Wang's family. Because the relatives knew that Wang's spirit would return to his hometown the next day, the first seven came to sit at night.

Because Yuanchun was pregnant, she was afraid of being seen by others, so Jia's mother told her to pretend to faint when she went to the mourning hall, and then she was supported by Yingchun and Tanchun to avoid it.

This time Wang died, and Aunt Xue of the Xue family also came to offer her condolences.

Xue Pan has been dispatched to northern Xinjiang. Aunt Xue was going to go with her, but Xue Pan's concubine is pregnant. Aunt Xue has come to talk about marriage for the sake of the Xue family's cigarette offspring and for Xue Baochai. In Kyoto, he moved back to live in Xue's old house.

Aunt Xue came to Rong Mansion a few times later, and Mother Jia didn't take care of them. .

The mother and daughter of the Xue family just sat there when they came, and the masters were busy with their own things. The Wang family was ignorant, and Baoyu was too young to understand the ways of the world. The girls don't come to the door anymore.

On this day, I suddenly heard someone from Rongfu came, but it was the Wang family who died.

Wang has been ill for many years, so she will not be suspicious when she dies.Aunt Xue came to the house and cried a lot. She helped Jia's mansion for seven consecutive days. On the first seven days, the mother and daughter stayed by the whole night to send her sister off for the last time.

Sister Jialian and Feng were very moved and thought that Aunt Xue was a nice person.

The next day, Wang's coffin left the Rongguo Mansion, and Bai Haohao's support sent Wang's to the big ship to Jinling.The Wang family is the boss of the boat company, and Wang Zisheng arranged two large boats, and a slightly smaller boat as Wang's mourning hall. The whole boat was decorated like a snow cave.

Jiamu's big boat is tall and big, the whole building looks like a mansion, the servants live on the lower floor, and Jiamu lives on the second floor with the girls.Jia Zheng lived on the third floor with Baoyu Jia Ling and Jia Huan.

Jia Lian couldn't accompany Jia Mu back home because she was taken away by the Holy Spirit, so she entrusted Jia Ling to escort Jia Mu back home.

This day when Jia's mother left Beijing, Sister Feng did not come because she was pregnant. Jia pardoned Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong led all the people in Jia's house to escort to Chaotianmen Wharf. When the big ship left, Jia pardoned Jia Lian and took everyone Kneel to see off Jiamu.

Because Li Wan wanted to study, Jia's mother told Li Wan to take Jia Lan to stay in the capital.

Li Wan doesn't like to make troubles, Jia Lan is clever and smart, and she is motivated in her studies. Now that Sister Feng is about to give birth, Li Wan stays here to help Yingchun take care of the government affairs. Jia Lian and Sister Feng are very happy.

On the day when Jia's mother left the mansion, Jia Lian handed over the separation document signed by Rong Mansion two years ago to Shuntian Mansion, and separated the second room of Rong Guo Mansion.

On the same day, Jia Lian submitted a paper again, requesting the removal of the plaque of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Lian gave sufficient reasons. After the death of his grandfather, his father was demoted to become a nobleman, and Rongguo Mansion no longer existed.Because my grandmother lived in Beijing before, it was not easy to change it, so as not to hurt my grandmother's kindness.Now that my grandmother missed her homeland and returned to live in her hometown, the signboard of Rongguo Mansion should no longer be hung. Therefore, he asked to remove the door plaque and rebuild the overpass of the mansion gate.

Emperor Qianyuan received Jia Lian's brochure and sighed: "I am so relieved, all the nobles in the capital are as transparent as Jia Lian, I can really live forever."

Emperor Qianyuan, who was in a good mood, was very magnanimous, and immediately approved on the booklet: the plaque can be replaced, but the rectification is free!

Jia Lian wept with joy when he received this approved note.

To be honest, Jia Lian actually didn't want to rectify the mansion where his grandfather lived, but the king's heart was unpredictable, and he had to walk ahead of Emperor Qianyuan so that he could take the initiative.

On the same day, Jia Lian took down the plaque of Rongguo Mansion and replaced it with the plaque of Rongguo Mansion. This character is still the emperor's calligraphy, but the Chinese character in the middle was put away and enshrined in the ancestral hall.

The Rongguo Mansion moved here, and Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Mansion was also persuaded by Jia Rong to submit an apology and asked to remove the plaque.

Jia Zhen also took the initiative to ask for the withdrawal of the plaque, and the emperor swiped a pen and played it.

It is still changing the plaque but not the door.

Jia Lian did not dare to ask for the return of the meritorious field. Unless Emperor Qianyuan took the initiative to take back the meritorious field, Jia Lian would become the public enemy of the honorable family in Kyoto.

Jia Lian thought that it was difficult for one person to defeat the Bagong Mansion.

The holy gift did not rectify the overstepping place, so Jia Lian completed the renovation of the mansion in only half a day.For the rest of the time, Jia Lian had no choice but to stay at home to hold his son.

On the ninth day after Wang's death, Jia Lian encountered another dilemma, but it was Aunt Xue who came to ask Jia Lian to be a matchmaker.

It turned out that Baochai fell in love with Wei Ruolan.

Sister Jialian and Feng were dumbfounded. Both of them thought that Baochai would continue to fight for Baoyu for a while.

Unexpectedly, Xue Baochai shakes her head and shakes off her longing for Baoyu, and turns her head to see the more handsome and manly Wei Ruolan.

Moreover, Aunt Xue made it clear that it was Mrs. Wei who personally sent someone to the Xue family.

Jia Lian was stunned. Although General Wei's wife regarded herself as a noble family, she actually loved money like her life in her bones. In her previous life, she had taken over Xiangyun's dowry.

Sister Feng was also very puzzled: "Although this Wei Ruolan is about the same age as Sister Baochai, the Xue family is now..."

Jia Lian then said: "Aunt Xue, did you hear me right? General Wei is not in the capital now, and Wei Ruolan is only 16 years old now. Children from noble families usually talk about getting married when they are in their 20s. Are you sure you didn't hear that?" Is it wrong?"

Aunt Xue was displeased when she heard the words, as if she felt that Miss Feng had underestimated their Xue family.She said in a somewhat offensive tone: "I'm not deaf or blind, how could I remember wrongly? The mother of the Wei family said that the second son got married and fell in love with our family's Baochai. The title should be given to the eldest son, the second son does not have a title, so the daughter-in-law should get more dowry."

Sister Feng was stunned: "How much dowry does she ask for?"

Aunt Xue said: "She said that it would be [-] yuan according to the amount given by the rich young lady. I simply only have one son and one daughter, and Pan'er is like this. Even if the daughter has more dowry, as long as she lives comfortably, I Feel more at ease."

Fifty thousand silver is not worth anything in the former Xue family.

Nowadays, the Xue family is in decline. These days, for Xue Pan's lawsuit, Aunt Xue has spent 10,000+ before and after, and only then has she begged for a descendant.

When Xue Pan was married, Aunt Xue stuffed him with [-] silver, and asked him to take care of official errands, arrange his life, and only wait for the imperial court to amnesty the world before returning to Kyoto for reunion.

In this way, Xue Pan spent more than 20 yuan alone.

Now the Xue family's business has completely collapsed, the shopkeepers in the shop are running away, and the accounts are in a mess, and they will be lucky if they don't accompany the money in the future.

What's more, the Xue family also sent people to Beijing to ask to take over the Xue family's business. In the face of the Wang family, the Xue family has already knocked on the door to forcefully take over the family business.

Therefore, Aunt Xue didn't feel bad at all for marrying Baochai.Aunt Xue not only promised to dowry one hundred and eight to carry the dowry, but also secretly gave Baochai some money from the bottom of the box to make a private house.

Originally, Aunt Xue came here full of joy, but when she saw Feng Sister Jia Lian, she looked like a ghost.

Aunt Xue became anxious immediately: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the Wei family, this in-law's family can't do it?"

Jia Lian waved her hand: "Auntie, don't be in a hurry. You don't have to worry about being late for a good meal. Just wait in the mansion. I'll go into the palace and ask you about it."

But Jia Lian came to Xihua Gate, showed his waist card, and entered the palace without any problems, and then touched Cangzhen Gate, where Wei Ruolan was the day-shift guard.

When Jia Lian arrived, Wei Ruolan immediately smiled, "Brother, why are you here?"

Jia Lian said with a smile, "I'm here to congratulate my brother."

"Second brother was joking again. I'm locked up here all day. It's not like you and Feng Ziying are free and unconstrained. What kind of happy event can there be?"

Jia Lian said: "There are two great joys in life. When you are named on the gold list, there is a wedding night in the bridal chamber. Now, you are about to have a wedding in the bridal chamber. How can it not be a happy event?"

Wei Ruolan blushed immediately: "Second brother, don't be intimidated, it is said that the two families have only started contacting each other, and the other party's girl is just 12 years old, and the wedding night in the bridal chamber is probably still early?"

Jia Lian silently calculated that Baochai is already thirteen years old this year, and fifteen years old in falsehood. Although it is a little early, there is no problem with the wedding ceremony.

Wei Ruolan took the initiative to speak up: "Our wife is just making a joke, but seeing her girl is round and healthy, and she is articulate, she has a heart for talents. I guarantee that within two months, our wife I probably forgot about it myself." Jia Lian shook her head: "As far as I know, the woman is not only 12 years old, but still 15 years old, and this person is also my in-law of Jia's family."

Wei Ruolan nodded: "It really does count."

Jia Lian frowned: "Have you met the eldest sister of the Xue family?"

Wei Ruolan was stunned for a moment: "What Xue family? The historian my father told me about?"

Jia Lian frowned and clapped his hands: "Hey, look, it's really wrong. You have to pay attention to this matter. Just now, Aunt Xue's family came to Rongfu and begged me to be a matchmaker for the woman. She said that she was with Mrs. Wei. Mammy personally came to the door to propose marriage, the two families have already matched their horoscopes, saying that the two horoscopes are a good match, and the Xue family promised to marry more."

Wei Ruolan blushed immediately, he knew his mother likes to make money all along, he didn't want to mess with his marriage for money now.

His father obviously favored historians, and his mother didn't object, but now that he changed without his will, wouldn't the world be in chaos again when his father returned home?

Wei Ruolan suddenly panicked, pulled Jia Lian and begged, "Brother, will you replace me?"

Jia Lian then followed Wei Ruolan to Jingyun Gate and explained the situation to the head guard. Jia Lian volunteered to stand guard for Wei Ruolan.

Jia Lian was originally a bodyguard in front of the imperial court, but now it is all right to guard the Cangzhen Gate.And now the head guard Yang Jiuling has been detained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the guards associated with him have been found out for various reasons and have been transferred from the palace.

Therefore, the guards in the inner court have been on tight schedule for a while, and Jia Lian is willing to help, so the foreman couldn't ask for more.

Wei Ruolan went back to De's house without stopping, and asked her mother, Mrs. Wei: "Madam, my son has something to ask his wife for confirmation."

Mrs. Wei was immediately displeased: "I said I called mother, why can't I remember?"

Wei Ruolan had no choice but to obey: "Mother, my son, how did you hear that you were discussing marriage with the Xue family? Didn't your father tell you when he left that he liked the Shi family? Why are you looking at the Xue family again?"

Mrs. Wei immediately became uncomfortable when she heard the words, coughed, and immediately returned to normal, and said sharply: "Who is it that has a sharp mouth and long hair, and picks three nests and four nonsense in your ears? Who is it? Call him, and I will kill him immediately !"

Seeing that his mother refused to admit it, Wei Ruolan immediately turned cold: "Madam, don't rely on others. Now the Xue family has entered the Rongguo Mansion. It is said that you have taken a fancy to the eldest sister of the Xue family. You have already agreed on the dowry." , just waiting for the two families to invite ice matchmakers to get married, isn’t it? Then why does the Xue family have to talk to themselves?”

Mrs. Wei snorted: "Probably so! My son is handsome and capable. There are too many people who think about it. There is no shortage of him in the Xue family!"

Wei Ruolan saw that his mother did not dare to admit him, so she obviously wanted to fool around and make a fuss about his marriage. When the time came, the raw rice would be cooked, and it would be useless for her father to be angry.Sui said: "Since the wife said that there is no such thing, let the son believe it."

Mrs. Wei smiled and said: "It should be so, our own daughters, you don't listen to me, you listen to others."

Grandma Wei continued to comfort: "Second brother, don't listen to outsiders' instigation, how could your wife lie to you!"

"It's fine if you don't!" Wei Ruolan bowed and said goodbye: "Sit down, my son, I'll go to Xue's house to find out. If they don't give me an explanation, I will definitely sue Shuntian Mansion and ask him about the fraudulent marriage." crime."

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei were startled, Mrs. Wei was busy pulling Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei was busy shouting: "Lan'er, stop!"

Wei Ruolan turned around and stared at her mother, eyes full of disappointment.

When Mrs. Wei was looked at by her son like this, she immediately turned embarrassed: "That's the case, but I just asked casually. Who knew that the Xue family took it seriously. I don't take it seriously here. What about the Xue family? The family of merchants, the son of the Xue family killed someone again, who dares to marry her, who will give birth to a boy and a half girl in the future, and who will dare to mess with her when she goes out and says that uncle is a murderer!"

Wei Ruolan kept such a cold face, watching his mother make up nonsense, and when his mother finished speaking, Fang said: "You finished? Since there is no marriage, I will not go to the Xue family, I will go now Shuntian Mansion, sue her for fraudulent marriage!"

Grandma Wei was frightened immediately, and pulled Mrs. Wei again: "Auntie!"

Mrs. Wei burst into tears immediately: "Oh, you bastard, you want to force me to die, you went to Shuntian Mansion, what face do I have!"

When Wei Ruolan heard this, she knew that his mother must have done something stupid.

He turned back and stood still in the hall, bowing to his mother: "Mother, I am your own son, what have you done, please tell the truth to my mother, and my son will help you if there is anything wrong."

Mrs. Wei was still hesitating, not wanting to tell the truth.

Grandma Wei was instigating: "Second brother, I'm not talking about you, you shouldn't persecute my aunt like this, isn't that thing my aunt did for my son and daughter? It doesn't seem very good for you to threaten the wife of Shuntian Mansion every now and then. Bar?"

Wei Ruolan was immediately annoyed: "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? I went to Shuntian Mansion to sue Xue's family for a fraudulent marriage, so why did I become persecuting my wife? Could it be that you have something to do with it? Tell me as soon as possible, if you dare Picking up mother to make trouble, I don't care about you, father is not easy to talk to, back then, father and brother..."

Grandma Wei suddenly burst into tears: "Auntie, look at what the second cousin said, I am a serious grandma who was brought in by the three matchmakers and six Ping of the Wei family."

Wei Ruolan snorted: "You know how to bring in the door yourself. You'd better explain the matter clearly and don't try to fool it. Otherwise, I will send a letter to Beijiang immediately, and you will be dismissed!"

Grandma Wei was taken aback, she just got married so hard, how could she be divorced?

"Aunt actually didn't tell you to kiss..."

Wei Ruolan said: "It's not for me, it's for someone. I don't remember that there is a third son in our family!"

Mrs. Wei supported her forehead: "I just mean that this matter can't be done."

Wei Ruolan stared at Grandma Wei: "You did this? Tell me clearly, otherwise, it will be too late for the Xue family to sue Shunfu."

Grandma Wei burst into tears: "It's my natal second brother, he has been disabled since he was a child, and he will be twenty this year..."
