Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Third Sister You was blocked by Jia Zhen, and she was no longer qualified to marry Liu Xianglian, but she hated Jia Zhen to death in her heart, and wished she could eat Jia Zhen alive.

It's a pity that Jia Zhen Kongwu is powerful, and she has only one way to surrender.

Fortunately, Jia Zhen's fertility is not good, and her filial piety has not made a fool of herself.

After Jia Rong got married, the Rongguo Mansion took advantage of Jia Rong's Yu Qing, when Jia Rong brought Zhen Yinglian back to the palace to live in the opposite month, on the eighth day of September, Jia Zheng married Xue Wang.The couple lived in the small courtyard next to Mengpozhai.

From then on, Aunt Xue went into the inner courtyard every day to accompany Jiamu to play cards, and gave Jiamu some big boxes with shiny copper coin strings.Baochai, on the other hand, only followed Daiyu's lead and went in and out together. Jia's mother was very satisfied with their mother and daughter's knowledge and interest.

Three days later, with the support of Jia's mother, Jia Zhen opened the ancestral hall to repair the genealogy and changed Xue Baochai to Jia Baochai, because the order of the daughters in the mansion was determined early, Baochai wrote line two on the genealogy, but everyone used to call her Bao girl .

This time, Baochai and Daiyu really became a pair of confidant sisters. She didn't pick on Daiyu's pettiness any more, and she didn't go to Baoyu's room in the middle of the night.

Besides, Baoyu was detained by Yuanchun, not to mention Baochai, even Daiyu would not meet Baoyu easily.

Because Uncle Lin was impatient to deal with the rejection of him by the Minister of Rites, he was not comfortable as the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He had only been in office for three months, and it happened that the Imperial College offered wine to Ding You.

Uncle Lin served as the censor of salt for ten years, and has been promoted many times. He has already belonged to the second rank when he returns to Beijing.However, he invited himself to be a fourth-rank Imperial Academy. In the eyes of everyone, this is devoted to academics and indifferent to fame and fortune.

Emperor Qianyuan originally had some doubts about Lin Ruhai, thinking that he was the emperor's confidant, so he refused to give him the Minister of Rites, and only gave Uncle Lin a servant.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Lin turned around and went to the Imperial College.He was so indifferent to fame and fortune that Emperor Qianyuan regretted not letting Lin Ruhai be the Minister of Rites. Such honest, loyal and talented people are the pillars that the court needs.

It's a pity that the position of Shangshu has been given to Du Dashi, the emperor Jinkou Yuyan, and it's too late to regret.

One month after Uncle Lin served as the Imperial Academy's sacrificial wine, it coincided with the triennial Spring Festival, and Uncle Lin was named by the emperor as the chief examiner.Uncle Lin has never left the Imperial College since he took the examination questions appointed by the Holy Majesty.

When marking the papers, it is even more impartial and selfless. All the rankings are decided by the public discussion of the examiners, and they are never arbitrary.

After a spring, Uncle Lin's reputation in Qingliu soared.

Emperor Qianyuan was promoted to Uncle Lin's Wenyuange Bachelor.

In this dynasty, the Grand Scholars of Guange are generally held concurrently by ministers of various ministries, and Uncle Lin's promotion is equivalent to being a first-class official.The first-grade Guozijian sacrificial wine is No. 1 in the Qing Dynasty.

Uncle Lin devoted herself to studying and had no intention of continuing her studies, so Lin Daiyu lived in Rongguo Mansion all the time, living with her grandfather, Mother Jia.Today's Daiyu is already the best object for the ladies in Kyoto.

But Zhen Yinglian lived in Liuyuan after she got married, and on the eighth day of September, she was discussing with Sister Feng about the Double Ninth Festival and preparing gifts for the elders, when suddenly, her teeth bleed.

Sister Feng was so frightened that Grandpa Du was at the mansion, and Sister Feng was busy sending someone to invite him to come over for a pulse diagnosis. After taking his pulse for a while, Grandpa Du bowed to Sister Feng to congratulate her: "Congratulations to Second Grandma, congratulations to Second Grandma, Grandma Xiao Rong is not Disease, but there is joy."

Sister Feng was overjoyed when she heard the words, but she was busy asking: "Excuse me, Old Immortal Du, she has only been married for one month, is your pulse accurate?"

Mr. Du stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If someone else's pulse is diagnosed, I'm afraid they will have to wait for half a month before they can be sure, but this old man is the best at gynecology and pediatrics, so it is [-]% sure."

Sister Feng was so happy that she pinched Zhen Yinglian's cheeks: "My darling, you are an instant success, Rong'er, how can you be so capable!"

Zhen Yinglian blushed, but she was happy and sweet in her heart.

In the past two years, Sister Feng has told Ping'er: "Hurry up, red seal, first-class, double!"

However, Mr. Du waved his hands with a smile: "While the two grandmas are happy, I have the audacity to ask for a favor. If grandma agrees, I will offer you a happy event."

When Sister Feng heard the words, she immediately thought of herself, could she be pregnant too?Immediately blushing and heart beating, she thought of Jia Lian's madness and obsession for a while.

Sister Feng said with a slight smile: "You always talk about asking for words. In the past few years, thanks to you for asking for peace in the house, we don't know how to repay you. If you have something to say, just say it, but I'm ugly. In the first place, I am a wife in the back house, if you talk about court affairs, I can only show my hands."

Master Du waved his hand: "Is the old man that kind of villain, but it's just a matter of grandma's lip service."

Only then did Sister Feng feel relieved: "Since that's the case, please tell me!"

Old Man Du sighed: "Seeing Grandma Rong enter the door with joy, the old man's eyes are hot."

Sister Feng immediately understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "I don't know which young talent the old man likes?"

Mr. Du smiled and said, "It's the son of the family."

Zhen Yinglian and Sister Feng looked at each other and smiled, and looked at Mr. Du together: "Who is it?"

Mr. Du pointed at the two of them and pursed his lips: "The two grandmas are bullying!"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "That's not the case. There are countless good boys in our family. Miss Ruoxin is as beautiful as a flower, and there are many rare people."

Mr. Du laughed all over his face when he heard the words: "It's a pity that my girl is so determined, she has already identified the boy Jia Yun in your house. Please grandma to fight."

Sister Feng nodded when she heard the words: "I can talk about this matter, but it's just your condition..."

Mr. Du waved his hand: "There's no rush, we can discuss it after they give birth to a second child. As long as it's their child, it's still my offspring, don't you think so?"

Sister Feng clapped her hands when she heard the words: "If you have said this, I won't be afraid of complaining in my old life, saying that my elbow is turned outward."

This was said by Jia She. He had greeted Jia Lian, Sister Feng, and they were not allowed to help Mr. Du persuade Jia Yun.

Now that Mr. Du took a step back, wouldn't everyone be happy.

Sister Feng arranged for people to go to Ningfu to announce the good news, and at the same time to announce the good news to the Empress Dowager, while she herself was busy going to Lixiangyuan to discuss with Jia Yun's mother, fifth sister-in-law.

Jia Yun's mother actually liked Du Ruoxin very much. Because the fifth sister-in-law had low back pain, she went home and pestered Mr. Du to learn acupuncture and massage. Now the fifth sister-in-law's back pain is much better.It's just that Jia Yun of her family is also a single biography, and she is afraid that Mr. Du is an official, and when the time comes to rob his heirs, she, a civilian woman, will find someone to reason with.

At this time, when I heard that Sister Feng was the guarantor, I was immediately filled with joy. I pulled Sister Feng and just thanked: "Thanks to your uncle and aunt for treating Yun'er well, he is able to attend. He should have repaid you, but now I have to trouble my aunt for his marriage." Don't worry, I really don't know in what life we ​​Yun'er built up the blessing to get such a good uncle and aunt like you."

Sister Feng's heart was burning, and she was busy praising Jia Yun: "If you say that I really envy Fifth Sister-in-law, I don't know how you raise her. This Yun'er is smart, handsome and capable. I really wish I could snatch him to be my son. "

Jia Yun's mother hurriedly stepped on the pole: "Come tomorrow and ask him to call you mother!"

Sister Feng leaned on Fifth Sister-in-law's shoulder and giggled: "Look at Fifth Sister-in-law, why are you serious? I'm just joking. I'm only three or four years older than Yun'er. How can I be his mother!"

The fifth sister-in-law also laughed: "What's the point of this, isn't there a mother who has acted in a play and has a son who is 17 years old?"

Sister Feng laughed so hard, "That's nonsense, do you believe it? Come on, sister-in-law, give me a sip of tea, my stomach is cramping from laughing."

Here Fifth Sister-in-Law talked for a long time to keep Sister Feng, but Sister Feng was worried about her children before she got away.

Master Du was having tea and chatting with Mother Jia in the Rongqing Hall, but a little girl sent a letter saying, "Say to Master Du, our grandma asked me to tell you that the fifth grandma of Lixiangyuan agreed."

Mr. Du was immediately elated when he heard the words, and he hurriedly bowed to Mrs. Jia: "Old relatives, I have won your season. Thank you very much. I have something to do today, so I will trouble you another day."

Mother Jia didn't know what was going on with Mr. Du, so she hurriedly beckoned to Xiao Lianhua who delivered the letter, "What did you say to Mr. Du? Why is he so happy?"

Lianhua was just passing on a message, but she didn't know where she knew it, because she said: "Reporting to the old lady, our second grandma only asked me to say that, what the fifth grandma promised, the servants don't know."

But the mandarin ducks are smart, they guessed it after a little thought, and said with a smile: "This servant knows a thing or two about it. Mr. Du has taken a fancy to Young Master Jia Yun and wants to recruit him as his grandson-in-law."

Mother Jia laughed when she heard the words: "Well, this is a good marriage, Yuanyang, remember to prepare a congratulatory gift for Jia Yun's mother for me."

In the evening of this day, the Empress Dowager's gift went into the Rongguo Mansion. The gift was not only for Zhen Yinglian, but everyone in the whole mansion got a share. The Empress Dowager thanked the Rongguo Mansion for taking care of Zhen Yinglian.

At the same time, Mr. Du, who ran away madly, also sent a letter to the mansion. He told Sister Feng that Grandma Xiaorong was pregnant with twins in all likelihood.

Sister Feng was dumbfounded with joy when she heard the words.Could it be that the water and soil in Hemerocallis Hall are specially used to breed twins?

That evening, Sister Feng told Jia Lian what she had said, and Jia Lian hurriedly told Sister Feng: "Don't talk nonsense, it's best not to publicize this matter first, otherwise, it will be more troublesome."

Sister Feng hurriedly covered her mouth and pointed to the sky: "You mean?"

Jia Lian nodded and shook his head: "It's better to be careful." Then he said: "Let the couple go home today."

Sister Feng was stunned for a long time before she realized: "Oh!"

On the Double Ninth Festival the next day, Zhen Yinglian originally wanted to go to the palace to accompany her, but she couldn't because she was pregnant.

Taking advantage of the festival this day, You Shi took a group of maids, women, and aunts to the house to greet Jia Mu, and took Zhen Yinglian home by the way.The Ning Mansion has been full of scandals in the past few years, and Zhen Yinglian needs this happy baby to go back to town.

Jia Yun is also 17 years old. On September [-]th, the two families passed the grass post, invited eminent monks and horoscopes, and commented: Good luck on the top.

Mr. Du was anxious to embrace his grandson, so the two families released Xiao Ding on the [-]th day of October, and agreed to marry him on the [-]th day of March next year.

Rongguo Mansion suddenly became busy again, because the courtyard of Lixiangyuan was too small, Jia Lian decided whether Jia Yun would get married or serve wine in Hemerocallis Tang.This is also based on fair treatment. Jia Yun and Jia Rong are both Jia Lian's nephews and his right-hand man. Jia Rong got married in the Xuancaotang of Rongfu, and Jia Yun's marriage should be done beautifully.It's just that Jia Yun originally lived in Pear Fragrance Courtyard, which was a gift from Jia Lian. The wedding room didn't need to be set up in Hemerocallis Hall, otherwise, Fifth Sister-in-Law would really suspect that Sister Feng had robbed his son and wife.

This time, Jia Lian warned Sister Feng: "Don't cook soup for Miss Du alone. If they don't get pregnant in a year or two, let's talk about it then."

Otherwise, it is said that the Rongguo Mansion is rich in twins, and it is really a crime.

This year's Spring Festival, the whole country is jubilant.

Rongguo Mansion invited bamboo craftsmen to settle in early in the morning, and hung colorful lanterns on both sides of Rongning Street. The colorful lanterns illuminated the night of Rongning Street like daytime.

From the first day to the third day of the first lunar month, all the relatives of the Jia family came to Rongning and Ningxia to pay New Year's greetings. Sister Feng prepared several large baskets of copper coin strings with red silk threads.

For the twenty child soldiers who followed Jia Lian to join the army, Jia Lian arranged a collective dormitory for them in the martial arts hall, which was modeled on the Xishan system. There are two people in one room, the living room inside and the sitting room outside. Everything is available.

From the fourth day of the fourth day, Rongguo Mansion started a social activity of eating and drinking.These child soldiers have become the most capable soldiers in the Jia Mansion, patrolling and guarding everywhere. This year, the Rongguo Mansion passed the first month and did not treat a single guest poorly, nor did they lose a single bowl of tea set. Nuanced.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the towering Aoshan Mountain was erected in front of the gate of Rongfu.

In view of the frequent accidents of the female relatives of Rongfu when they travel, and Zhen Yinglian is pregnant again, Jia Lian suggested not to go out this year because she is sick, and just open the gate between Rongning and Ningfu, so that the female relatives can play in the back garden of the two residences. There are also pavilions, small bridges, flowing water, and hazy white snow. Touring under the lights is a special experience.

In order to let the sisters have a good time, Jia Lian also worked hard. Sister Feng was the host and hung up riddle lanterns all over the yard and garden. Since you are the master and slave, if you guess correctly, you will not only get lanterns, but also a reward of silver.

All the people from the back street came to participate, and for a while, the back gardens of Rongning and Ningfu were more lively than Rongning Street.

Before the Ning Mansion was ready for filial piety, Mother Jia asked Youshi to bring a group of aunts out to play and relax.

Jia Zhen is shameless, and even brought Third Sister You to come. The New Year is auspicious, and everyone just needs to be patient.

People in the entire family were not willing to pay attention to the second and third sisters of the You family, but no one spoke ill of each other.

Everyone played until the wall clock struck twelve, and then went home to rest.

Unexpectedly, this day Jialian and Fengjie participated in a happy meditation, just fell asleep, suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, Jialian woke up and asked: "What happened?"

The woman who was watching the night outside hurriedly reported: "Reporting to the second master and the second grandma, the Tianxiang Building in the garden of the East Mansion suddenly flooded, and the servants over there found it and beat the gongs and drums to ask for help. All the people in the back street have gone now. Dongfu is fighting the fire. It’s just that the fire is too big..."

Jia Lian turned over before she finished speaking. Sister Feng got up immediately and helped Jia Lian dress. Jia Lian hurried out and told Sister Feng: "Look after the children, don't frighten them. I'll go and see."

Jia Lian first went to the Martial Arts Hall and called up twenty boy soldiers: "Quickly surround the front and rear gates of the Ning Mansion, and don't allow idlers to come in and out at will."

The children went to run their errands, and Jia Lian flew over the mansion in a hurry, only to see that the Tianxiang Tower had been burned into a sea of ​​flames. Although some clansmen kept pouring water, it was useless.

The cornices and Zoumazhuanlou have begun to collapse, and people can no longer enter.

Jia Lian gave up the idea of ​​going in. He was made of flesh and blood and could not fight against the raging fire.Jia Lian's consciousness quickly covered the entire Tianxiang Tower, and soon found Jia Zhen's trace, but at this moment Jia Zhen was lying motionless on the ground, her body was on fire, and she probably couldn't survive.

Jia Lian soon realized that the fire was unusual because there were three people at the scene.Two men and one woman, the other man turned out to be Jia Rui, the husband of Second Sister You.

The reason why Jia Lian knew that this person was Jia Rui was that although Jia Rui was bound and his body was on fire, he was still breathing. He shouted at the man standing in the middle of the room who was already on fire, "You If you don’t want to, you can say it, how can you be so vicious?”

Hearing this, Jia Lian was terrified and hurriedly checked carefully to see if there was a fourth person, but there was no one alive at the scene, so she felt relieved.

But the third sister You laughed like a ghost: "You bastard, do you know that my second sister is pregnant? You actually gave her to Jia Zhen to spoil her. Our sisters are poor, but they are not fans. I can't tolerate you like this." So, you can’t blame others, you ask for it all. What’s wrong with learning, like a beast, it’s not even as good as a beast. I’m dead anyway, so let me die desperately for me Sister and nephew, please find a way to survive. You should thank me, I am soft-hearted, so I left you a drop of blood, only after you die, my sister and nephew can live like human beings, so, you can die with peace of mind."

Hearing the word □□, Jia Lian felt ashamed, because Jia Zhen really has no moral bottom line.

Jia Rui is already unbearable, even if he dies.Such three people died together, I really can't explain it to the officials.

Jia Lian saw Jia Rong in the crowd, but he didn't see Jia Zhen. Jia Lian had already confirmed that the dead man was Jia Zhen, but deliberately asked, "Where is your father? Such a big event happened in the house, why is he missing?"

Seeing Jia Lian, Jia Rong suddenly had a backbone, and rushed forward to hold Jia Lian: "I have sent someone to look for it, but I don't know why there is no one."

When the words fell to the ground, Youshi came with disheveled hair, and Jia Rong and Jia Lian screamed for help: "Second Uncle, save people quickly, your elder brother is still upstairs."

Looking at the fire again, Jia Lian saw that the building had collapsed, and most of the buildings had been reduced to ashes. He shook his head slightly: "If people are in such a fire, they will call for help even if they can't get out. Sister-in-law, listen, how can there be a sound?"

You Shi was stunned when he heard the words.

Seeing this, Jia Lian asked, "At midnight, what are you doing upstairs?" Youshi immediately covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly.

Jia Lian waved: "Rong'er, take your mother back, I'm here to help."

Jia Rong went, and Jia Lian told Xing'er: "There is no curfew on the street tonight, you go to Shuntian Mansion to report the case, and say that the Ning Mansion was flooded for unknown reasons, and it seems that someone was buried in the sea of ​​fire. Let them send someone to come and investigate."

Seeing that the fire was raging, and the more water was poured on it, the more it burned, Jia Lian ordered decisively: "Everyone should disperse, the fire can no longer be contained, everyone should back away, to prevent the building from collapsing and hurting people.

Everyone retreated as promised, but they still did not leave.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, the Ning Mansion was really bad luck these past few years, the well-behaved master died and was not full of filial piety, but his son was burned to death again, could it be that the Ning Mansion has run into something evil?

However, although Jia Zhen is dead, Jia Rong is the niece and son-in-law of the empress dowager, and no one dares to say that.

After about a stick of incense, Jia Dairu suddenly appeared in front of the crowd. He looked at the raging fire and cried bitterly: "Brother Rui, where are you, please promise me, I am a grandfather?"

Everyone in the Jia clan was shocked when they heard the words, among them, the third grandpa, the fourth grandpa and the fifth grandpa stepped forward to help the sixth grandpa: "Sixth brother, what are you doing? The accident happened to Brother Zhen, why are you crying, Brother Rui?"

With grief in his eyes, Jia Dairu thumped the ground and howled: "His wife told me that Brother Rui was drinking with Brother Zhen upstairs!"

After saying this, everyone was silent, Jia Rui did get Jia Zhen's favor in the past six months, they often gathered together to gamble and drink, the children in the school reacted more than once, Jia Rui often left the class halfway, and went to gamble and drink with Jia Zhen.

He often even took his wife to Ning Mansion for a few days.Because Second Sister You and Youshi are sisters, everyone didn't find it strange. They just thought that Jia Rui hit up Jia Zhen and became brother-in-law.

Of course, there are insiders, such as Jia Juan, who always gambles with Jia Rui and Jia Zhen to gamble and eat and drink. Although everyone gambles all night, Jia Zhen often finds excuses to leave halfway, and sometimes never returns.When asked, he said he was going to offer incense and kowtow to Master Jing, but he fell asleep before the spirit.

Because of this, Jia Huang paid attention once or twice, but saw Jia Lian enter Second Sister You's room.Jia Juan Jia Fan Jia Qiong, who participated in the gambling, knew it well.

At this moment, several of them exchanged glances, Qiqi turned his face away, not daring to look at Jia Dairu again.

Everyone was comforting Jia Dairu, but they saw Jia Rong leading the servants from Shuntian Mansion over.

When Jia Rong heard that Jia Rui was also upstairs, her face twisted for a while, her eyes were full of disgust.
