Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Looking back, she said that Mother Jia returned with the second room. On that day, Sister Feng hosted a banquet in Rongqing Hall, where Jia Mu lived, to welcome everyone in the second room.According to Jia Amnesty's instructions, Lin Zhixiao moved Jia Zheng's salute directly to a small courtyard next to Meng Pozhai.Yuanchun and Baoyu's salute was temporarily placed in Rongqing hall.

When dinner was over, Mother Jia hurriedly called Sister Feng to ask where the second room was staying.

Sister Feng then told Jia Lian's arrangement that Yuanchun would still live in Weiruixuan, her former residence, and Baoyu would live in Rongqingtang with Jia's mother, or Weiruixuan with Yuanchun.

Wei Ruixuan used to be the boudoir of my aunt Jia Min. There are three main rooms, left and right side rooms, and a small garden in the backyard. There are koi in the lotus pond, but the water flow is drawn from the lake in the Liantaiju of the east courtyard. It is a stream of living water.

Therefore, the plants in the Wei Rui Xuan are watered by this stream of running water, and they are lush and green, and there is no sign of decay in winter.

But she said that Jia's mother had awakened because of Jia Lian's sacrifice last year.But after getting along with the second wife day and night this year, coupled with Jia Lian bestowing a noble mansion, Jia's mother's heart is not balanced again.

She looked at Sister Feng and frowned: "There are so many vacant yards in the mansion, isn't there a place where the second room can be placed?"

Sister Feng's expression froze: "What does the old lady mean?"

Mother Jia pondered for a while: "Rongxi Hall has already been turned into Zuci Hall, it really doesn't look like living in someone else..."

Sister Feng didn't dare to make a sound, but just listened with lowered eyebrows.

Seeing that Sister Feng didn't answer, Jia's mother turned her face away: "Isn't your Viscount's mansion cleaned up?"

Sister Feng nodded: "That's right, we planted flowers and trees, replaced glazed tiles, and re-painted the loach ridge. It's just because the house over there is a bit far from here, and Lian'er felt that he couldn't serve her elder relatives nearby, so she didn't move in."

Jia Mu said, "In that case, why don't you ask your second uncle to help you look at the house."

Sister Feng glanced at Sister Yuanchun calmly, Yingchun Xichun frowned slightly, Yuanchun remained calm, but Tanchun stared at Sister Feng with longing eyes.Sister Feng gritted her teeth: "If the old lady..."

When Jia Mu forced Sister Feng, Jia She, who was outside the screen, overheard her. She laughed and interrupted Sister Feng.

Jia Amnesty walked in with Jia Lian and Jia Cong, and the father and son greeted Jia's mother together.

Mother Jia was very upset when the topic was interrupted: "Sit down."

But Jia She said: "I just heard that the old lady is arranging a place for my second brother?"

Mother Jia raised her eyebrows: "Yes?"

Jia She was confident, and said in a good voice: "If the house in Mengpozhai is too small for the second brother, why not let the whole family live with the old lady in Rongqingtang. Compared with Rongxitang, Rongqingtang is just The main hall is three points shorter, the junior enters the yard, the second younger brother lives in the third, the two nephews live across the courtyard, and the two daughters still live in Weiruixuan.

"At the beginning, the old lady let the second brother live in Rongxi Hall so that the old lady could see her youngest son every day, but now she simply lives under the same roof. It is convenient for the old lady to see the second brother, and it is cheaper for the second brother to respect the old lady. Old lady, you Is the son's arrangement the best of both worlds?" Mother Jia couldn't bear it long ago, and glared at Jia She: "You rebellious and unfilial thing, wouldn't it be more satisfying for you to just throw me out on the street?"

Suddenly, Jia Mu was furious.Everyone in the hall was frightened into silence, Fengjie Jia Lian silently retreated behind Jia She.Mother Jia's request really made people speechless.

Jia Amnesty was not afraid of Mother Jia's sternness, but instead smiled calmly: "Don't get angry, old lady. If you are not satisfied with this arrangement, my son has better suggestions. I wonder if the old lady would listen to it?"

Jia Mu snorted angrily, "Speak."

Jia She glanced at Yuanchun and said with a smile: "Son, after looking around, the Holy Palace of the Holy One is the most suitable for the old lady. It's just the second brother and the eldest niece. Do you dare to live there?"

Mother Jia scolded angrily, "Are you crazy?"

Jia Zhengyuanchun's father and daughter were terrified: "Brother (uncle) speak carefully!"

Jia She sneered: "Speak carefully? You dare to force Lian'er to resist the edict and deceive the emperor. I still need to be cautious? At worst, we will die together. What are we afraid of?"

Jia's mother was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who told Lian'er to resist the order and deceive the king?"

Jia She said coldly: "The Viscount's Mansion was bestowed upon Lian'er by the Holy Lord, and it is understandable for Lian'er to leave it to his heirs. Now it is transferred to the second brother. What kind of behavior is this? Doesn't the old lady know that transferring or betraying the royal family The gift is a criminal who deceives the emperor? You are not comfortable seeing Lian'er getting the favor, so you think of such a way to destroy him?

"Old lady, my son doesn't believe that you are so cruel. You tell him who gave you such an idea to harm Lian'er. I will do my best to let him go, and I will drag him to the Jinluan Hall to judge." Jia She said Said, Baoyu suddenly burst into tears: "Uncle, big sister didn't do it on purpose..."

Jia Mu immediately shouted, "Baoyu, shut up!"

Baoyu was afraid that Jia Amnesty would drag Yuanchun to the palace to file a lawsuit. Baoyu thought that the palace is a place where people cannibalize, and the eldest sister must not be allowed to enter again.Last time, the elder sister was murdered by someone from the palace and almost died.Baoyu secretly didn't know how many times he cried, and he swore that he would never let his sisters enter the palace again.

Therefore, at this time, Baoyu didn't listen to Jiamu's scolding at all, but instead hugged Jia Amnesty's thigh and begged: "Uncle, please, please spare eldest sister. Eldest sister just wants to live in the Daylily Hall, not the Viscount. The old lady thought that the second elder brother is the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, and the Daylily Hall is the backyard of the Rongxi Hall, and it is not suitable for us to live in the second room. Therefore, she decided to settle for the next best thing and suggested that the whole family go out and live in the Viscount Mansion. The old lady I also said that I must study hard and earn fame in the future so that I can protect my sisters, these are the true facts, and I definitely did not intend to harm my second brother, please learn from me, please show me your noble hand."

Hearing this, Jia She looked at Yuan Chun coldly: "Niece, in order to save you, your second brother gave up the title he got. Is this how you repay him? Do you know that your second brother stayed behind for this old ancestor?" Jiye, infiltrated into Ping'an Island, climbed the ice and lay in the snow, and risked life and death! Do you think it's so easy to take the head of a general in an army of thousands of horses? Then Yang Jiuzhi is a long-established general, and his subordinates even have a group of dead soldiers to follow, Lian To catch him is a narrow escape? Why do you have the heart to harm him?"

Yuan Chun cried: "I have no teeth to forget the kindness Lian'er treated me. How could I hurt him?"

Jia She smiled; "That is why my uncle treats you badly? You have been in the palace for eight years, and you have been given 40 yuan from the public account every year. Your mother used the opportunity of the management to steal and embezzle it. The accumulated amount is no less than [-] yuan. Basically, it is an honor." Half of the income of the government has been squandered by you. This is not counting as the old lady subsidizing you in private. Now that you have made a mistake, ruined your future, and hurt your brother, you don’t want to regret it, and dare to pick three nests secretly. Four, instigate the old lady to deal with our eldest house? How do you have the face? "

Yuan Chun was startled and angry, too angry to speak. Back then, the family let her enter the Palace Museum and promised to do whatever it takes, but now they are blaming her?

Mother Jia was also so angry that her eyes were red, and she raised her hand to hit Jia Amnesty; "You rebellious son, you are trying to force me to death..."

"In this case, let's clean up these old accounts together."

Jia Amnesty dropped a stack of things indifferently, and Jia Zheng broke out in a cold sweat when he saw it.These files are the confessions written by Aunt Zhao after she was imprisoned.There are also documents for Jia's repayment of more than 100 million debts and evidence of Wang's theft.

Jia She sneered; "Don't think that after a year, the matter is over. The murder case can always be reopened. Since you want to destroy my children and grandchildren, let's have fun together."

Jia Zheng was completely discouraged at this time, and he didn't want to continue in Rongxitang anymore.

He went back to persuade Jia's mother: "My son really likes the house in Mengpozhai. The elder brother understands his wish very well. Although the house is small, fortunately Yuanchun Baoyu lives with the old lady. Lan'er, mother and son also have a place to live, and the son is alone. I have enough to live in, so I beg the old lady to take care of my elder brother."

Why do you think Jia's mother wanted the Viscount's mansion for Jia Zheng?

But it was Jia Zheng who was going to make a continuation, and the candidate for the continuation was familiar to everyone, and it was Mrs. Xue Wang.

Jia Zheng used to live a prosperous life under the protection of the Wang family, but after Wang's death, he was struggling.Therefore, when he saw the still charming Xue Wang family in Jinling, he was moved. Just after the ninth month of the Wang family's filial piety, he had a dark relationship with Xue Wang's family.

Xue Wang has been a widow for many years. In fact, she was just 40 years old. When she met Jia Zheng, a prudish person, the two of them immediately started to burn fire.

Xue Wang has been away for more than ten years, and her body is tight, like a young woman. Once Hunxuan is reopened, she can't wait to have a lot with Jia Zheng every day. Jin Chuan was shy and reserved, but she took the initiative to ask for sex.

Jia Zheng immediately fell in love with her.

Fortunately, Xue Wang's tide is gone, otherwise, brother-in-law and sister-in-law would really make a fool of themselves if they brought out a villain during the elder sister's filial piety.

Jia's mother saw the clue early in the morning, but she thought that Jia Zheng really couldn't find a better brother-in-law of the Yue family besides Xue Wang.So she just opened her eyes and closed her eyes, Yuan Chun felt displeased, but Mother Jia persuaded her instead.

There is another reason why Jia's mother likes the Xue Wang family. The Xue Wang family has money in their hands, and the Xue family still has business. , this business can eventually make a comeback.In this way, the combination of Jia Zheng and Xue Wang's money and power is really the best marriage that Jia Zheng can find.

Although Jia's mother was very disappointed with Jia Zheng's ignorance, to be honest, she really loved Jia Zheng to the bottom of her heart.

Mother Jia not only agreed to Xue Wang's entry, but also arranged everything for them. That's why Yuan Chun proposed to occupy the Hemerophyll Hall, and Mother Jia wanted the Viscount's Mansion.

Mother Jia couldn't say these words yet.What Jia's mother meant was that she didn't care about Jia Zheng's secret communication with Xue Wang's, but she absolutely couldn't continue the song as soon as she was full of filial piety.It will take another year and a half before things can be done.

After all, Jia Zheng didn't have a child to be raised by a stepmother, and Wang Xue had a son who was a jerk. I don't know how he would make a fuss when he learned that Jia Zheng had spent his money.

Xue Baochai is very supportive of her mother's second marriage, because she is very smart, and she has already seen clearly that if the Xue family has no one to protect, no matter how much money they have, it will be nothing.

Now she is fully sixteen years old, but there is no decent family to ask for marriage. The people who come to ask for marriage are either poor and settled for the money of Xue's family, or prodigals for Xue Baochai's beauty.What is even more embarrassing is that there is a 40-year-old widower who, relying on a seventh-rank sesame official, wants to marry Baochai to fill the house. His daughters are several years older than Baochai, and they are already married and have children.

If it weren't for the support of Prince Teng behind the Xue family, Xue Baochai would have no choice but to submit.

Jia Zheng not only agreed that Ming Media was marrying Xue Wang, but also agreed to change Xue Baochai's name on the family tree. Xue Baochai became Jia Baochai, and suddenly became the daughter of Rongfu.

Yuan Chun got his feet wet, didn't he almost become Princess Jing?Therefore, Baochai is very supportive of her mother marrying her uncle.

A farce disappeared with Jia Zheng's appearance. Jia Zheng looked innocent and expressed that he was very satisfied with Mengpozhai.

But Jia Amnesty was brooding, seeing that Jia's mother was still angry, suddenly a wave of evil fire rushed into her forehead, and she felt that if she didn't vent her anger, she would be suffocated.Jia Amnesty decided that it was necessary to express his position, and he also wanted to put the ugly words up front for Sister Feng and Jia Lian, so that the second wife would not forget the previous relationship in the future and go outside to sell innocents and beg for mercy.

"Since everyone is here, as the parent of the Rong Mansion, I need to talk about the new rules in the mansion. In October last year, the second room of the Rong Mansion was separated, and the documents have been submitted to the Shuntian Mansion for filing. From now on, the second room will spend more on food and clothing. They are all in the public account of the mansion, and they are paid out according to the rules every month. Tanchun Baoyu's marriage is also settled by my uncle. However, it is impossible to imagine how to withdraw money as you like in the past. After all, the first and second families have established their own accounts .”

But Jia's mother said: "There are documents for the separation of the family, but your family property has been separated?"

Jia She was immediately annoyed: "Old lady, you'd better not tell me about your family property. A few years ago, when you repaid the national debt of the Ministry of Households, the second room didn't get any private property, but Sister Feng even filled in the dowry money, and the in-laws The government has also borrowed tens of thousands, but it has not been returned yet. The 10,000+ owed by the Ministry of Households has only been paid off this year. The old lady of the treasury knows that it was all stolen by Wang. Where did the money go? My wife knows it well, so I won’t say much. If you want to talk about family property, there is no money left except meritorious service. If the old lady wants to share the property with the second room, please take out the account book that my wife handed over to Wang 20 years ago. Let's separate the account book." Jia's mother suddenly turned pale with anger.

20 years ago was the most glorious time of Jia's mansion. The two daughters-in-law of Jia's mansion were from a noble family and a wealthy family.It's really full of wealth.It's a pity that a sudden change happened, Mrs. Zhang didn't make it through, the old man passed away immediately, and the whole Jia's mansion began to go downhill.With her acquiescence, Wang also stretched out her hands everywhere, earning a reputation of stealing, and was repeatedly brought out by Jia She to make trouble.

Every time Jia Mu was brought up by Jia Amnesty to disturb the situation, it ended in dismal.

Mother Jia really didn't think there was anything wrong with her, they were brothers born of the same father and mother, why should one be in the sky and the other be in the earth?

But she also didn't think about how she condoned Jia Zheng and Wang's death.

Mother Jia really wanted to ask why Jia Amnesty wanted to kill Erfang completely and not give Erfang a bite to eat, but she felt that this was wrong. Jia Amnesty had made it clear that he would provide them with food and drink.

However, Jia Zheng was thinking that it would be impossible to pretend to be some wealthy son outside.

Turning around, he said that the mother and daughter of the Xue family were also caused by Aunt Xue. After Xue Duzi got married, his concubine was already pregnant. Because of the fraudulent marriage by the aunt and nephew of the Yang family, their mother and daughter suddenly went crazy and wanted to go back to their hometown in Jinling.Just like this, the concubine who was four months pregnant was dragged on the road. As a result, the concubine had a miscarriage before arriving in Jinling due to exhaustion all the way.

Aunt Xue herself found a second spring.Forced by her sister's filial piety, she could not achieve a positive result. Although she has the support of Jia's mother, she knows that the era of Jia's mother covering the sky with one hand in Jia's mansion is over.

Therefore, after Jia Zheng followed Jia Mu to put pressure on Jia Amnesty, Xue Wang was busy expressing his kindness to Sister Feng.Her kindness is five golden longevity locks, and five necklaces inlaid with colorful gemstones.

Sister Feng declined and said, "Five golden locks are enough, what do boys want Yingluo to do?"

Aunt Xue said: "Isn't it a small dowry for you to marry a wife? This is the dowry I prepared for my brothers and sisters. Are you going to stop me, an aunt and grandmother, from loving my grandson?"

Sister Feng had no choice but to accept it.

Xue Wang took the opportunity to say: "Poor aunt lost her husband when she was young, and lost her son in middle age. Now she has no one to rely on. Auntie will tell you the truth. Auntie's dowry can't be eaten up in ten lifetimes. My auntie's wish now is to find a tree. Lean against the big tree and live the next life quietly. Oh, Auntie's only selfishness is to find a suitable family for your little sister Baochai, and find a loving son-in-law, and I will have no worries in this life."

Sister Feng listened silently, and did not answer. Xue Wang just wanted to let Sister Feng understand her position, and did not need Sister Feng's promise.The two talked about other things tacitly.

When Jia Lian came home, Sister Feng told Aunt Xue about her confession.

As the saying goes, don't hit people with smiling faces. Jia Lian doesn't like Xue Baochai because she has deep thoughts.Now, since she wants to be the daughter of Jia's family, she probably doesn't have this idea anymore.

But Jia Lian still reminded Sister Feng: "In June of the first year, the national filial piety and family filial piety are all full. The second sister is sixteen, the third and fourth younger sisters are all thirteen, and they are all betrothed to others. You must be careful not to be caught by Xue's mother and daughter." Make trouble out of it. Otherwise, no one will pity you when you get angry."

When Sister Feng heard this, she was thoughtful, and it was very possible, because Aunt Xue herself admitted that she was taking care of Jia's house for the rest of her life by leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and secondly, for Baochai to have a good marriage.

It's the Spring Festival in a blink of an eye.

Mother Jia of Rongguo Mansion did not make any excessive demands, and lived in peace with the big house.

Jia Lian was very generous to Jiamu, just for the New Year. Not only did the public buy a full set of New Year's goods for Jiamu, but also gave Jiamu [-] silver for her to make New Year's money.

Apart from being entangled in Jia Zheng's situation, Jia's mother is really satisfied with everything else.She wanted to pick a thorn, but she really couldn't make a mistake.

And since Jia Mu returned to Beijing, Sister Feng made up for Jia Mu's soup again.

Yuanyang quietly comforted Mother Jia several times: "Old lady, this servant knows that this should not be said by a servant. But why do you want to stand up for the eldest girl and fight against the elder master, second master and second grandmother? If the elder master doesn't say anything, the second master and second grandmother Treating you is really filial. Look at this soup, your complexion has turned rosy in the past seven or eight days, which shows that the second master and second grandma sincerely hope that you will live a long life. Who is there in this entire family? Have you ever taken care of you so meticulously?"

Jia Mu was a little displeased: "What have you heard?"

Yuanyang shook her head with a gloomy expression: "No, this servant has been guarding the old lady for a few days, and the gate has not been passed through the second door. The servant is only worried for the old lady. I am really afraid that one day, the second master and second grandmother will be chilled."

Jia Mu sighed, "But how can I bear to ignore your big girl's appearance?"

Yuanyang argued: "Didn't the second master agree to find a son-in-law for the eldest girl? Those who can be selected are all young talents. What do you have to worry about?"

Jia Mu shook her head: "You don't understand, should your eldest girl live like this. She shouldn't live in a small household. Then Prince Jing's Mansion..."

Yuanyang was slightly stunned: "But Prince Jing's mansion has already married someone else?"

When Jia Mu heard the words, she gritted her teeth in hatred: "It's all because of that hateful thing!"

The Ning Mansion returned to its original place, and the concubine died in the palace, so the Spring Festival this year was very depressing in Kyoto.

In the first month of the lunar year, relatives are missing the offer of "please eat and watch a play", and Sister Feng feels much more comfortable.

Jia Lian didn't need to go to the palace this year to work as an errand, as the ministers entered the palace and kowtowed to receive the rewards, and then went to the empress dowager's palace to kowtow to receive the rewards, and then came out.

Sister Feng and Jiamu Xing were given a meal by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager accompanied Zhen Yinglian in person. Both the Emperor and Emperor Qianyuan sent people to add food. The Rongguo Mansion really had a lot of face this time.

Jia's mother was both happy and awkward, the gap between the first room and the second room was getting bigger and bigger.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year, under the leadership of Jia Mu, the female family members of the Rong Mansion got sick and got rid of bad luck.

Sister Feng greeted the spring in Yuanchun and cherished the spring. Tanchun and the others had surrounded Jia's mother, but they were scattered by a stream of people when they arrived at the Meridian Gate.

So Xin Jia Lian, Jia Yun, Jia Ling, Jia Lan and others accompanied the guards, and quickly gathered the sisters together. As a result, Jia Lian counted the heads and found that Yuan Chun was missing.

When Jia Lian thought of King Zhongshun who was at large, he broke into a cold sweat with fright.

While asking Jiayun, Jialan, and Jialing to escort Jiamu, Fengjie, and Yingchun sisters home, he went directly to find Feng Ziying and begged him to use the connections of the Secretary of General Affairs for help.
