Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wang tidied up her clothes here, brought her maid and mother-in-law to greet Jiamu, and met her third brother by the way.

Unexpectedly, when Wang arrived at Rongqing Hall, it was already late, Wang Ziteng had already left home, and made an appointment to welcome Wang back to Ning early tomorrow morning.

The Wang family was disappointed, and Jia's mother could not help but comfort her: "You will return to Ning tomorrow, and you will not fight for this day."

Wang's blessing: "The daughter-in-law is not filial, Baoyu has to entrust the old lady to take care of her!"

Jia Mu nodded: "Why don't you tell me I'm taking Baoyu!"

Today, Sister Feng is not feeling well, and she invited the imperial physician to go to the house to ask for her pulse, so she is not here to wait on her, but Mrs. Xing is on the side. Seeing the purple marks on Mrs. Wang's face that have not yet dissipated, Mrs. Xing did not speak provocatively, but her eyes were dewy. ridicule.These days, she is quite embarrassing in front of the old lady.

The two sisters-in-law hated each other, but they were patient with each other because they were afraid that the old lady would not dare to make mistakes.

At noon, as soon as the dining table was set down here, there was a sound of footsteps outside. It was Hu Po who had gone to the Daylily Hall to inquire about news, and came back with the little girl.

Amber entered the door with a happy face, and congratulated Jia Mu: "Congratulations, old lady, you are a great-grandmother again, Second Mistress Lian has diagnosed a happy pulse!"

Jia's mother was overjoyed when she heard the words, she finally felt good about Jia Lian, she laughed immediately: "Yuanyang, quickly open the medicine cabinet, and give you the same old wild ginseng and angelica red ginseng I got last time." Second Mistress packed a bag and sent it to her, telling her that she doesn't need to come over these days to take care of her, so she can take care of her baby."

Wang Shi gritted her teeth with hatred when she heard the words. She had a vicious reputation, and she was pregnant. She was really angry.

Mrs. Xing was in a complicated mood when she heard the words, and she was agitated for a while. She didn't know whether to be happy or worried. However, Mrs. Xing knew that this was an opportunity to please Jia Amnesty, so she hurriedly said goodbye to Jia's mother, saying: "Old lady, my daughter-in-law wants Tell the master the good news, the master has been looking forward to his grandson for many years."

Mother Jia nodded with a smile, "Go ahead and have a grandson, and make him happy too!" Sister Feng was pregnant, Jia Amnesty became a grandfather, and her son had a future, so it's time to stop.In the past year, Mother Jia really felt a little embarrassed about Jia She and his sons.

Xing left happily, and Wang's mouth was flattened. She had never seen such a stupid woman.

Mother Jia saw their sisters-in-law in her eyes, and thought that the Xing family's kind was good, stupid and stupid, and would not cause major disasters, and would not disturb the back house.

This Wang family looked okay at the beginning, but now it looks worse and worse.

My niece is pregnant, and I am not too discouraged to put on such a mournful look!

Jia's mother was displeased: "The third virtuous nephew of the Wang family wants to do something for his wife to eliminate evil obstacles. I want to pick you up tomorrow to live for seven days and recite sutras for your mother. I have already agreed. It is enough for me to have a girl here to serve you." , go back and get ready!"

"What to do?" Wang was stunned.

She had never heard of this matter before, and she thought it was the twelfth lunar month, and the brothers took her back to discuss something, but she didn't think it was to do something for her mother.

Her mother was young and doted on her alone, and gave birth to their five sisters. At that time, she envied her mother very much, but she didn't want her mother to have no future blessings. She died just after 50.

Looking back, Wang is very sad, otherwise, her mother would also be an old ancestor with good fortune and longevity.

Wang said goodbye here and went home, and ordered Jin Chuan to pack some clothes for her. It is winter now, and she is kneeling for her mother. There is no need to meet guests, and she doesn't need a lot of clothes. The main purpose is to keep out the cold in the middle of the night.

Therefore, Mrs. Wang ordered to find out the Firefox shawl she just bought last year. She had been thinking about this Firefox fur for many years, only because Firefox was cunning and difficult to shoot, and the fur of Firefox was small, and one fox was only enough to make a fox. A shawl, the remaining edges and corners, I barely made a Zhaojun suit, and there was nothing left.

Wang admired it in the mirror, and the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became.

Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao who were waiting by her side had strange expressions on their faces. Mrs. Wang is now very thin due to overthinking, her face is blue-gray, and her eyes are gloomy and cold because of long-term jealousy and resentment.

She used to have a pair of almond eyes, but now she is thin, and the corners of her eyes drooped and turned into triangular eyes. She looks very fierce, and then she puts on this fur and Zhaojun gloves, and she is not a bit extravagant. biting fierce dog.

Aunt Zhao sneered in her heart and curled her lips. This is really a waste of nothing. If it was given to the third girl, I'm afraid she can look like a princess.

Turning around, she talked about Xuancao Tang, although Sister Feng had some doubts, but when she was really convinced, she still shed tears of joy. In the past two years, she almost failed to see through the child, but the imperial doctor said that the happy event was coming soon, every month. No good news, now that Jia Lian said he was in no hurry, the child unexpectedly arrived unexpectedly.

Ping'er also took a reassurance, and was busy comforting Sister Feng: "Grandma, what's the matter, you should be happy when you have a little master, otherwise, if you are crying like you, the little master thinks you don't like it, hurry up and put it on." Put away your tears."

Sister Feng froze and pursed her lips and smiled: "Nonsense, he knows it just sprouted?"

Ping'er frowned and smiled: "Our little master is smart!"

Sister Feng wiped away her tears with a smile, revealing two thin canine teeth: "Actually, it should take three months to tell the truth about it, but today the imperial doctor is yelling, I'm afraid they all know it, that's all, you let me know quickly." Someone send a letter to my mother to make her happy, how much you have worried about me these past few years."

Ping'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Grandma He Xiao ordered that when the second master got the news, he turned around and went after the third master. I'm afraid our wife will be here if we wait a little longer."

Second Mrs. Wang only arrived in the evening, not for any other reason, but because of Wang Ziteng's personal preference.

There is a saying in Kyoto that "the east is rich and the west is noble". Most of the princes and grandchildren live in the west city. Why does Yu Liuyue go to Rongfu every day? Because Yanhou also lives in the west city. convenient.

Rongning Street is in the West City. Although it can't compete with the prince for the best location, it was built by the royal imperial edict at the beginning. The location is quite good, better than the Wang family. It seems that the status of the Xue family of the Wang family was not as good as that of the Jia family. The location of the mansion Relatively worse, they are all sorted to the corners.

The Wang family's mansion is not only eccentric, but also small, and it cannot be compared with the spaciousness of Rongfu.

It's all right for the old man of the Wang family to advocate frugality, but he couldn't bear it when he came to Wang Ziteng. He was a close minister of the emperor, and he called for friends and companions at home. The cramped mansion was very inconvenient, so he bought another garden in Dongcheng.

In this capital where every inch of land is expensive, the other family would not dare to do this. He is not afraid of spending money. The King’s family of Jinling has plenty of silver, and the other courtyard can be built as rich as it is. The copper ring on the door is really no worse than those palaces.

As a result, the Wang family and Jia's mansion have a distance of ten or twenty miles between the east city and the west city, and they arrive in a little over an hour on weekdays.Wang Ziteng went home to report the news, and it normally took two hours to come and go.

The Second Mrs. Wang had to pack her things again. It was the end of the year, and the capital was crowded with people and cars like a dragon. Therefore, it was already evening when the Second Mrs. Wang brought several large carts to Rongfu.

Sister Feng thought that her mother would not come, and was disappointed. Her mother's arrival was just a surprise, and she was overjoyed.

The second wife of Wang didn't know about Wang Ziteng's dealings with Jia Lian, but she was quietly complaining to Sister Feng: "Your third uncle wants to build a dojo for your grandparents, and your third aunt and I took the initiative to ask you to go to the temple to kneel in the family temple. Your father three My uncle didn't even agree, and even said that the brothers had to kneel down in person to make it work."

Mrs. Wang's second wife said with an unhappy face: "I married into the Wang family and gave birth to the only incense in the Wang family. In the eyes of your father, I am not as good as the aunt who has been married for more than [-] years."

Sister Feng knew very well that everything would be over when Mrs. Wang left, but she didn't dare to tell her mother clearly, so she could only comfort her mother carefully, and changed the subject to ask her mother about abortion. Her mother immediately forgot her dissatisfaction. , began to teach eloquently, talking about Ms. Feng's childhood, the more interested she was, the more she laughed.

Now that Sister Feng is pregnant and can no longer work hard, Ping'er serves Sister Feng wholeheartedly, for fear that she will make mistakes.The preparations for the New Year's Eve in the mansion were put on hold, and the foreign affairs were fine. Jia Yun and Pan You'an and Zhao Liangdong took care of it. Now they seem to have formed a faction and become the backbone of Jia Lianxuan's thatched cottage.

Originally, Sister Feng was pregnant, so she couldn't manage the affairs, so Mrs. Xing should take care of the middle donation, but Mrs. Xing was greedy.

Jia Lian didn't dare to count on her at all, and she didn't have to make a good Rongguo Mansion, and she turned it into a beggar's den.

After thinking about it for a while, Jia Lian entrusted Li Wan and Aunt Yingchun to take care of the housework, and then assigned Zhao Liangdong's family and Lin Zhixiao's family to Yingchun's helper, and Daiyu, Tanchun, Zhen Yinglian, and Yu Liuyue were there to assist. , Check for leaks and fill in vacancies, and Jia Mu is at the helm to support.Not to mention, although Yingchun drove the ducks to the shelves, she survived the hesitation and panic of the first few days, and gradually became smoother, handling government affairs in a decent manner. Qian Hao's family was beaten and the monthly rules were changed.

In this way, after a few days, Yingchun's prestige has gradually grown, and she has become more and more proficient in handling government affairs. Although she is not as capable as Sister Feng, she has a shrewd attitude, and the managers of the house no longer dare to make troubles at will.

Although Jia's mother liked her children and grandchildren, she had always looked down on Yingchun. She never thought that this always dull and weak granddaughter would be trained in the hands of Feng girl. This matter had to make Jia's mother reconsider Jia Lian and his wife.

When did Sister Jia Lianfeng actually have the wrist to knead sand into balls and turn stones into gold?

Looking at Jin Sun Baoyu, who had an innocent face and was having a great time with his sisters, Jia's mother couldn't help being very entangled.When will this incomparably precious baby bump grow up!

For the first time, Jia's mother hated herself for being so old and weak. She was somewhat envious of Jia Lianfeng's youth and vitality.

Thinking about Jia Lian's rise like a lion and his growing power, most of the people in the mansion changed their tune, and no longer thought that Baoyu was precious, and people no longer had the fascination with Baoyu when they mentioned Baoyu.Even Baoyu, who was born with psychic powers, was gradually forgotten.

Mother Jia looked at Baoyu and Daiyu's two innocent children, her eyes were extremely tangled, what should she do with these children!

In Jia's mother's heart, the child she loves the most naturally wants to give the best thing, and the best thing in this Rong Mansion is the title of title.It's a pity that at present, Baoyu doesn't take advantage of his succession, and Jia's mother is becoming more and more powerless to control the Rongfu.

Here, Jia Lian can't control how Jia's mother is entangled. He handles government affairs at home in the morning, works in the palace in the afternoon, and goes to the teahouse to entertain guests in the evening, and communicates with Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan, the same batch of guards.

Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan were divided into internal squads, dedicated to guarding the important area of ​​the emperor's harem. When the emperor walked in the harem, they also had to accompany the guards.

It can be seen from this that the Feng family and the Wei family, the two powerful families in the military, are more favored by the emperor than the Jia family.

Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and Jia Lian and Jia Rong entered the palace as errands in the same batch, and were more or less excluded by the senior guards. Therefore, in order to gain a firm foothold in the palace, Jia Lian decided to join forces with the two of them and take care of each other.

Feng Ziying's relationship with Jia Lian has taken a step further through the Guanshan incident last time. Both Wei Ruolan and Feng Ziying were playmates who grew up after the generals, so the four hit it off and decided to form a team to jointly resist those who have ulterior motives. Squeeze and frame.

Feng Ziying's father is now transferred back to Beijing to serve as the left admiral in Xishan Ruijianying, and he is in charge of 200 people.

Wei Ruolan's father was the admiral of Fengtai Camp, and had more soldiers under him. Wei Ruolan's elder brother served as a small banner under Feng Ziying's father, and he was in charge of ten soldiers.

Jia Lian made friends with the two, and in the future he wanted to go to Fengtai Daying or Xishan Ruijian Camp for experience, but he didn't have to worry about no one recommending him.

However, Jia Lian, Feng Ziying and others left the party that day, and they went home in a sedan chair with Jia Rong, but unexpectedly, there were two rather nasty incidents.

One incident, Erfang Wang's horse was startled on the way back to Beijing from Wang's family temple, and Wang's horse fell from the horse and was injured and fell into a coma.

According to what the imperial physicians said, there was more danger than good, Wang's head was hit by a horse, and a blood bag the size of a fist appeared on the back of his head. All the imperial doctors said they were powerless to deal with the blood bag on the back of Wang's head.

Moreover, the imperial doctor asserted that, as a general rule, patients with brain injuries like Wang's would find it difficult to wake up once they fainted.

Jia Lian sneered, Wang Ziteng also had times when he was soft-hearted, he was half dead and tortured, it would be better to be dead.

This matter was tacitly told in Dafang, and Jia's mother was surprised. Only Jia Zheng and Baoyu suddenly felt that the world had collapsed.

Especially Jia Zheng, he disliked the Wang family when he was good, but now he is half dead, he is not used to it.Now all the donations in the mansion have been taken back by the big house, and he was about to ask for money during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't know who to ask for!

The second thing is that Jia Zhen made a marriage arrangement for Jia Qiang, and the appointment was made on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.

This time, Jia Zhen learned the lesson from the last time, and didn't announce it until the three books and six ceremonies were completed, and when she was finally hired.

The choice of bride surprised everyone in the Rong family. The daughter-in-law that Jia Zhen betrothed to Jia Qiang was Qin Keqing from the Qin family.

Now, Jia Zhen has tidied up a house in Ning Mansion, and the wedding date is set on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

When Jia Lian learned about it, he was stunned.Jia Rong is also average.

Jia Lian was discussing the marriage with Sister Feng that day, and the girl outside announced in a flurry of voices: "Master Xiaorong is here!"

Jia Rong, on the other hand, rushed towards Jia Lian and Sister Feng's inner room, pulling Jia Lian and yelling like a child: "Second Uncle, do you know, what about my father, him, Qiang'er? Hi!" Frustrated: "Could it be that we can't escape anyway?"

Although Jia Lian was surprised, she was not afraid. She was afraid that what Jia Rong might say would frighten Sister Feng, so she patted Jia Rong, "Don't worry, don't worry, if you have something to say, speak slowly! Don't scare your aunt!"

Only then did Jia Rong realize that Sister Feng was by her side, and she was busy saluting Sister Feng, her face blushing: "Greetings to my second aunt, my nephew has lost his head and is anxious, I didn't see my aunt, I disturbed my aunt, my nephew is here to apologize , Auntie, please forgive me!"

Seeing Jia Rong so frightened, Sister Feng couldn't bear it, she stretched out her hand and pinched Jia Rong's pink cheeks: "Oh, what are you doing with a frowning face at a young age, what a big deal, you have to be so anxious, look, your smiling face is wrinkled, It doesn’t look good anymore. Smile, hey, that’s right, if you have something to tell Second Aunt, Second Aunt will make the decision for you!”

Jia Rong blushed immediately, touched her cheek and looked at his second uncle Jia Lian, feeling embarrassed: "Second aunt, pinch your face again, men and women can't kiss each other, my nephew is no longer a child!"

Sister Feng bared her teeth when she heard the words: "Hey, the big fart kid actually broke this with me." As she spoke, Sister Feng got up and chased Jia Rong to pinch his face, so scared that Jia Rong hid behind Jia Lian: "Second uncle, help!"

Jia Lian stopped Sister Feng with a smile on his face: "You thought it was you who disguised yourself as a man, touched this, pinched that, the children have grown up, you should keep them, you are pregnant, let outsiders see, what's the matter?" look!"

Sister Feng also blushed, and said angrily, "What's the matter? I hugged him and changed his pants when he was a child, but he didn't recognize anyone when he grew up! Hey, if you don't touch it, who cares. I'll give birth to one myself tomorrow, and I can pinch it if I want!"

Sister Feng was chattering, and went into the inner room with an unhappy face: "Ping'er, let's go!"

Jia Rong was very uncomfortable, looking at Jia Lian Qiqi Ai Ai: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt is just."

Jia Lian smiled: "Don't worry about her, let's talk in the study!"

The uncle and nephew went to the study hand in hand.

Sister Feng then came out, looked at the shadows behind the two of them, and turned to Ping'er bitterly: "What a great thing to hide in the study, who doesn't know!"

Ping'er is not surprised: "Whatever they do, we still have a lot of things to do, the old lady's annual ceremony, Zhang's family's, Wang's', these have to be finalized, waiting for the second grandma to make a decision outside. The girl is not sure!"

Sister Feng just smiled, and the master and servant began to discuss.
