Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

A trace of sullenness flashed in Jia Mu's eyes when she heard this.

Putting these words in the past, Jia's mother must be furious. Now it is not the same as before, and Jia Lian is not Jia Amnesty.

The title of the ancestors has long since declined, and the plaque of the Hou Mansion was earned by Jia Lian only after he was born and died.

Jia's mother's confidence suddenly weakened, and she could only support herself as an elder.

However, Yuanchun's affairs had to be handled, and Yuanchun would have to rely on Jia Lian to take care of her from now on. Jia's mother knew that her second son, Jia Zheng, was a mud bodhisattva who couldn't stand up to the wall, and she couldn't turn against Jia Lian.Mother Jia smiled wryly, she actually fell into this situation: "Of course you don't like to hear these words, the ancestors earned the family business, and it is only natural for the descendants to enjoy the legacy. But you said Ying girl is the daughter of the Hou family, isn't your eldest sister? Isn't the third girl?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Although Yingchun is a concubine, she is indeed the master's direct bloodline, the only daughter, and a genuine daughter of the Hou family. The grandson never knew that in the eyes of the old lady, the descendant of a fifth-rank official is more important than the grandson. The concubines of the Hou Mansion are still honorable! Inferences like this, don’t those relatives in the back streets all come to the Hou Mansion to share a share? Which old man is not the grandfather’s brother? However, according to the national law and family regulations, they are side branches and cannot enjoy the benefits of the Hou Mansion. The mansion is rich!"

Mother Jia couldn't hold back her anger: "Are you saying that your second uncle is a side branch? How dare you say that? He is your grandfather's direct son!"

Jia Lian smiled lightly: "Isn't the second grandpa, the third grandpa, and the fourth grandpa from the former Duke's mansion? Not the grandfather's brothers? Now are they the direct branch or the side branch? Can their status be equal to that of the old lady? Do you have a share?"

Mother Jia was so angry that her lips trembled: "You rebellious and unfilial thing, I..."

Jia Lian didn't want to be confused with Jia's mother anymore, or she would be pissed off, so she got up like his father and stroked his sleeves: "Since the old lady thinks so, the grandson has nothing to say, so whatever the old lady does, you can go back to Jinling." Well, it doesn’t matter if you sue for disobedience, but my grandson asks the old lady to remember a sentence, when married, obey the husband, and when the husband dies, obey the son!”

How dare Jia Lian accuse her!

Mother Jia really wanted to pass out, but Sister Feng had already blocked her way out, and made soup for her every day to nourish her. Excuse me.

She pointed at Jia Lian: "You, you, you, you..."

Yuan Chun appeared at the right time at this time, and hurriedly said on behalf of Jia's mother: "Calm down, it's because your granddaughter is unfilial and has brought the old lady down."

Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her. Mother Jia knew that if she continued to make trouble, it would be difficult to end.

Yuan Chun smiled apologetically at Sister Jia Lianfeng, and said: "I know, I used a lot of money from the mansion in the past, and everyone has resentment. I don't want a penny from the mansion. How much is the betrothal gift of the Shui family? How much do we marry?" , I am the county lord, and no one dares to underestimate me."

Hearing what she said was pitiful, Mother Jia became angry again: "The girl is married, and you want to give up a penny, so you are not afraid that someone will poke your back?"

Jia Lian walked away without saying a word!

Jia's mother suddenly became angry: "Lian'er, what's your attitude when you come back?"

Sister Feng was busy trying to please Jia's mother and persuaded: "It's really the old lady who misunderstood the master and Lian'er!"

The implication is that you have wronged people so much that your children and grandchildren can't afford to offend them, why don't you allow your children and grandchildren to hide?

How can Jia Mu, who is extremely intelligent, fail to hear?She doesn't think she is wrong, even if she is wrong, she will never bow to her children and grandchildren.According to her past temperament, she should point at Sister Feng's nose and lose her temper, this is the nature of her ancestors.However, two of the three principals of Dafang left, she couldn't drive Sister Feng away, and if they all left, who would she ask for money?

Sister Feng didn't plan to get any response from Jia's mother, so she continued: "Although the eldest aunt did spend hundreds of thousands of silver, it was also a decision-making error made by the elders in the house. It was not that the eldest sister ate, drank and dressed herself. In the dowry. The old lady also knows the current situation, it is not as good as the former Duke’s Mansion, the treasury’s debt was paid off only last year, and the mansion’s income is only so much, so everyone can’t afford it, right?”

"The amount of the dowry for the girls in the mansion has been discussed by the Elder Master and Lian'er. Daughters are no better than men. They can go out and earn a career. The girls must have the confidence to live upright in their husband's house. For this reason, let's estimate [-] silver is enough for the daughter's family to eat and drink for a lifetime. Therefore, it is decided that each girl will have a dowry of [-] silver."

"A dowry of [-] silver to marry a daughter, apart from marrying into the royal family, is considered a generous marriage on the ground in Kyoto, and you will not be laughed at. This is what we mean, and the old lady should be aware of it."

Sister Feng said the number of 100, and Jia's mother agreed in her heart. Today's Jia's mansion is indeed not as good as the previous one. The debt of more than [-] million is actually the fault of the ancestors that dragged down the children and grandchildren.After the old man died, she withdrew her dowry, but she was actually a little guilty.

However, Mother Jia opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't speak in the end.

Yuan Chun felt uncomfortable when he heard the words, so he had no choice but to stand up and express his opinion, and blessed himself: "Thank you uncle Lian'er for your thoughtfulness, Yuan Chun is ashamed to accept it."

Sister Feng said again: "At the beginning, the dowry of the second wife was [-] silver, and all the money was kept in the old warehouse, and a cent was not moved. Logically, there are half of the big sister in it, and I will add the silver to the dowry list at that time." Go. It depends on what the big sister wants, and you can get it as private money without the dowry."

Yuan Chun waved his hand: "I don't want this."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "I will bring it up, who is the eldest sister's favor to be given by the eldest sister."

Yuan Chun had no choice but to bless his body again: "Thank you, Brother Feng!"

The wedding was scheduled for the twelfth day of February, and it was very hasty to prepare the dowry. Fortunately, Mrs. Wang had a lot of things to use. The most urgent thing was that the mansion only prepared wood for Yingchun Tanchun, not Yuanchun at all.With such a rush of time, it is too late to re-purchase.

Wang's furniture is mahogany, and the older the mahogany is, the more valuable it is, but unfortunately it doesn't match the rooms of the Shui family. Wang used to live in the main hall.The small courtyard where Shui Huan lives is not the right size.In the end, Sister Feng decided to borrow part of the wood for Yingchun, and add some furniture from Wang's family. Jia Mu also made up part of it, and it was finally rounded off.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Zheng and Xue Wang returned home, and Yuanchun's dowry had already filled Rongqing Hall.

Speaking of going to Huguang to be an official, Xue Wang was full of anger. For more than three years, Jia Zheng had been working as a grain Taoist. He was short-lived, so not only did he not earn money, but he also couldn't make up the food collected by the Ministry of War. For this reason, he was reprimanded by the Ministry of War and the Governor of Huguang in turn.

However, Jia Zheng's chances were not good. He had the material to be a Taiping official, but he happened to meet the tense war in the sea and northern borders and the need for strategic food reserves. How could he adapt?Thanks to Yu Yanming who only verbally scolded Jia Lian and didn't record it in the evaluation, he was able to serve as an official for more than three years in peace.

Speaking of which, thanks to Mrs. Xue Wang taking Tanchun everywhere to make allies for him, this made those colleagues not have black material behind him.

Xue Wang also really helped him, not only took care of Jia Zheng's food and drink expenses, but also paid a lot of money, successfully became friends with Yu Yanming's wife, and Jia Zheng was able to get through his annual plan safely.

Xue Wang couldn't mention this matter, and she shed tears when she said it. Back then, she and the man of Xue's family didn't need her to worry about that man!

Back in the mansion, Mrs. Xue had nowhere to put her grievances, and she was dizzy and dizzy because of Xue Baochai's crying.Xue Wang had no choice but to cheer up and serve Jia Zheng, and asked Jia Zheng to intercede in front of Jia's mother.

Now that Yuanchun's marriage is going well, Mother Jia is in a much better mood.However, when Jia Zheng pleaded for Xue Baochai, Jia's mother turned her face and scolded Jia Zheng: "You go out to be an official, and the children don't care about it. Now that your daughter is married, shouldn't you give her some money as a dowry? Lian'er also He paid [-] taels of silver, and his uncle also had a thousand taels of silver in the bottom of the box, how much did you pay? I’ve never seen a man like you!"

Jia Zheng went back in despair and told the original words, Xue Wang's heart was bleeding, so he had to spend two thousand silver to add make-up to Yuan Chun. Speaking of which, Yuan Chun is both a stepdaughter and a niece, so adding make-up should be done.

Where is the two thousand silver in the eyes of Jia Mu?Xin Dao is so stingy in asking for help, so let's suffer.

Jia's mother was unhappy, but she would not let go of restoring Baochai's genealogy.

In the end, the Xue Wang family had to spend another five thousand silver to buy a farm for Yuanchun. Only then did Jiamu spit out and promised Xue Baochai to add her name on the day of her marriage, but the household registration was unnecessary.

Xue Wang was so angry that a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat, and he almost died.Therefore, Wang Xue also felt that Jia Mu's attitude was too different before and after. It should be noted that at the beginning, Wang Xue and Jia Zheng, Jia Mu tried their best to match each other and opened the door of convenience.Why did he suddenly become so hideous now?

Then she asked Baochai carefully how she offended the old lady.Xue Baochai is not willing to say.Wang Xue had no choice but to ask Sister Feng instead, and only then did she know that Baochai had been tricked by Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife and set up the shop, but the marriage failed, and she offended the old lady and Yuanchun because of it.

Now, although the Shui family has returned the shop, the business has been extremely bleak, because the Shui family has figured out the way and opened the same shop.Sister Feng and Li Wan let it go, Xue's shop was almost run out.

Xue Wang's blood was like chicken blood, and he wanted to sue the Shui family.She ran to Jia's mother and cried, "Baochai is a child. She doesn't know how deep she is. She was bewitched by the old lady of the Shui family. The daughter-in-law did nothing but marry into Jia's mansion. Now that she has been wronged like this, please ask her to marry her." The old lady decides for the daughter-in-law. Otherwise, the daughter-in-law will die here on her knees."

Jia's mother was very upset immediately, but because of Wang Ziteng's face, she said: "At least wait until Yuan Chun passes the door. That's what I mean. If you make trouble again, I don't care."

When Xue Wang heard this sentence, he had to temporarily withdraw his troops.

Married in Yuanchun on February 12, Jia Lian, Feng Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Rong, Feng sister Yinglian and others went to see her off.Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife is Prince Ying's sister-in-law. Her father guards the Xi'an mansion and is the emperor's powerful arm.

Her husband's title came from his uncle's humility, and now that his uncle got married, half of the money in the treasury was about to be lost, and she was very unwilling.She was born well, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, slanted eyebrows raised, and red lips slightly hooked.

On this day, he wore a peony jacket embroidered with red and gold silk, five phoenixes hanging on his head with pearl hairpins, and a red and sapphire necklace on his chest.The brows are full of arrogance, as if they are more beautiful than Yuan Chun.

When Sister Feng saw Yuan Chun, the sister-in-law, and thought about that greedy mother-in-law, she suddenly felt that Yuan Chun's life after marriage was a bit difficult.

When Jia's mother heard Sister Feng's report, she suddenly became worried.

Only Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, and finally married off the trouble of Yuan Chun, and he was very relaxed.He wasn't worried at all about how Yuanchun was doing.In Yuan Chun's last life, he was able to become a noble concubine, but he couldn't take care of the Shui family?I was afraid that she would go too far and bring Jia's family into trouble.

On March 12, Yuanchun went home to live opposite the moon. Yuanchun was in high spirits, and it seemed that the husband and wife were harmonious.

At such a time, Xue Wang jumped out again and asked Jia's mother to ask for justice for their mother and daughter.Baochai's reputation cannot be ruined by them.

At this time, Mother Jia had to ask Yuan Chun for advice first, and Yuan Chun didn't care: "Although girl Bao is making fun of herself, how old is the jellyfish? It's even more shameful to use her son to sell her son for money. There is no such mother."

Mother Jia was a little worried: "If this matter is brought up to the Empress Dowager, I'm afraid my son will not look good."

Yuan Chun didn't think it was disobedient: "Her mother used him to sell money to subsidize her youngest son. No matter how stupid and filial he is, he can't tolerate it!"

Jia's mother said: "It's one thing for him to be cold-hearted towards his mother, and another for us to sue his mother. You'd better warn my uncle first, and see what he says. Your father has been entangled by Mrs. Xue. Don't you?" Standing up for him, there is buzzing noise every day, Lian'er doesn't want to touch it, and I'm the only one who stands up."

Only then did Yuan Chun agree to discuss with Shui Huan, and Shui Huan went home and told his grandmother that his mother used him to sell him to subsidize the third child, and said that the woman wanted an explanation, otherwise she would sue the queen mother.He also explained to his grandmother that the woman was Wang Ziteng's direct sister, and she could not be fooled around casually. "

The old lady of the Shui family was furious when she heard the words, and called her son and daughter-in-law to scold her: "Your Li family is also from a scholarly family. A niece repents of her marriage, and she shamelessly wants to marry her eldest cousin. The scholarly family raised such a I’m so ashamed for the women of the Wei family. I thought you were a good person, but what have you done now? You actually seduced other girls and cheated them of their money. Do you know that last time a woman from the Wei family cheated the Xue family of money? How does the empress dowager teach? The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wei family were punished by slapping themselves. Does the reputation of the Duke's Mansion stink?"

The jellyfish knelt down and cried, "How dare a daughter-in-law!"

The old lady of the Shui family looked at her son: "Teaching my wife by the pillow, your daughter-in-law has been in the house for 30 years, and she does such stupid things, no wonder the Li family, you are the man who is useless, so your wife is jealous of his money , to seize other people's shops."

The jellyfish defended: "The daughter-in-law didn't want her shop, she went back a long time ago."

The old lady of the Shui family was annoyed this time, and she threw a cup of tea on her head: "Sober, sober, what is the origin of the Wang family? How many people can support such a large fleet in the Great Moon Dynasty? It’s an empty shell, and people in Jia’s mansion don’t know? That shop is managed by the second grandma, not the girl from Xue’s family, you really give the Duke’s mansion a face!”

After the old lady Shui scolded her daughter-in-law, she scolded her son: "It is said that Xue's family only has [-]% of those shops, and [-]% is under the name of Li Shouzhong's widowed daughter. Brother Huan is Brother Huan's younger brother-in-law, see for yourself, what a good thing your wife has done!"

Mr. Zhen Guo couldn't get up and down, and he was reluctant to beat his wife. He raised his eyes and saw Shui Huan, and immediately scolded him: "Since this happened, why didn't your wife tell you earlier, it didn't take a day or two for her to come in..."

The old lady Shui was suddenly mad by her son, and she beat her son's leg with a cane: "You have a face, and you don't want your wife to scold your son. Clan, give up your money to avoid disaster, listen to what you have done to the clan's reputation, you have completely lost my old face, and I am ashamed to see the empress dowager again."

Duke Zhen had no choice but to turn around and scold his wife: "Can you tell me what to do?"

The jellyfish was sobbing: "At worst, I'll just return the shop to her."

The old lady Shui snorted coldly: "They want you to compensate your daughter's reputation. Your shop is originally owned by them. Is this considered sincerity?"

Duke Zhen had no choice but to look at the old mother: "Old lady, tell me what to do, my son listens to you."

The old lady Shui sneered: "If you don't want to go into the palace and get slapped, you can honestly return a marriage."

The jellyfish frowned: "Marriage? Shui Huan has already married Jia Yuanchun. He is a marriage bestowed by the queen mother and cannot be changed..."

The old lady Shui twisted her mouth: "Isn't it true that little Sa'er is not married? Didn't you like her at the beginning? If you want to say Shui Huan, now it's not right to say Sa'er."

The jellyfish exclaimed: "It won't work, she's eighteen, Sa'er is only fifteen, and besides, he and Qing'er..."

The old lady Shui spat immediately: "What? Her sister didn't hurt Huan'er enough, and she still wants to hurt Sa'er? I said why you took people here and stayed and didn't leave, but it was the idea. Send that girl away, do you want their brothers to break up and never see each other again? You are a cruel woman, you used to laugh at people treating concubine harshly, I think you treat your own son more cruelly than other concubine sons!"

The old lady Shui pointed at the door and said angrily: "Get the hell out of here, when will you finish dealing with the Xue family's affairs, and when will you come see me!"

The jellyfish left, and the old lady Shui breathed out and cursed a few more words before she stopped.Looking at Shui Huan, he only sighed: "It seems that I shouldn't have held you by my side to raise you, but now I have caused your mother to alienate you. Don't worry, before I close my eyes, I will give you what I promised you. I don't believe it." , I am a dignified daughter of the noble family, the wife of the country, but I can't protect a big grandson!"

Shui Huan laughed and said: "The youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. The grandson can understand the mother!"

The old lady Shui nodded: "You are a good boy, you only blame those blind things..."

Shui Huan was afraid that Yuan Chun would hear it, so he hurriedly interjected: "My grandson doesn't think about the past anymore, I have decided to go to Taipu Temple to be the temple minister. Although the name is not good, but it is better than leisure, and there is no danger."

The old lady Shui nodded: "That's good, find something to do to pass the time, so as not to stay at home all day long and think about it."

Shui Huan said with a smile: "It's not for this grandson, grandson is afraid that he will be looked down upon by his son in the future, and people will say that his father is an old dude waiting to die."

The old lady Shui suddenly smiled: "What, there is good news so soon?"

Shui Huan wiped his nose and smiled: "I haven't invited the imperial physician yet, but Chun'er said that she had postponed her original day in the middle of the month for a month, I'm afraid it's..."

The old lady Shui was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to ask the imperial physician to come to the house to check the pulse. It really was a happy pulse, and the whole family was overjoyed.

Although Mrs. Shizi has been in the family for five years, she has only given birth to a pair of daughters and has never been happy. Shui Lao looks so eager for her great-grandson that her eyes can see through her eyes.

When the news came back to Rongfu, Jia's mother was overjoyed.

Sister Feng also breathed a sigh of relief: "One bird and one egg, my aunt really has a good physique!"

Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not like the soup that Grandma Baixia made for her."

In the past, she was only forced by King Zhongshun once, and this time she was happy to enter the door. It is rare for Shui Huan not to care about her past affairs. I have to say that Yuanchun's fate is not so smooth!

Hearing this, Jia Lian was also relieved, at least Yuan Chun now has a new bond and will no longer have daydreams.Even if there is any misbehavior, it is also the housework of the Shui family and has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion.

At the end of March, the Wei family went to the door to hire, and set a wedding date on the eighth day of May.

The Wei family hired [-] silver, but the historians had nothing to offer, so Shi Xiangyun went to Beijing empty-handed.A wedding dress was made by Jia Mu, who embroidered it herself in a hurry.

Yingchun Tanchun Xichun and sister Daiyu embroidered a hundred-zinafu quilt for her together.

Sister Feng ordered the embroiderer in the mansion to make mosquito nets and curtains for her, and put together the bedroom.

Sister Feng discussed with Jia Mu, and bought three thousand silver coins from Jia Mu, Feng Jia She, and five hundred silver coins each from Xue Wang's Zhen Yinglian, and bought a [-]-mu farm for Xiangyun.

This way, Xiangyun's dowry looks much better.

Mother Jia ordered Sister Feng to display all the things for details, only to realize that there was not a single piece of furniture in Xiangyun's dowry.

Where should a woman make a bed at home?
