Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

In the end, regardless of Tanchun's wishes, she settled on that family. The exact time has not yet been determined, but the two families have already started to move around. It will take about a year for Liuli to go down.

Up to now, two of the three genuine girls of the Jia family have already been appointed, and they are all young, leaving only the biggest Yingchun. Everyone remembers what the old man said, and they will appoint young talents , all stared at Jia Amnesty, but he didn't do anything for a month or two, it was just his nonsense.

But on that day, the old lady and his wife, Baochai, Tanchun, and Jia Zheng who were not there were all hurt by Mr. Jia She, and the old lady was so angry that she lay in bed for two or three days. After hearing about it, she also said that the old lady became more and more tough as she got angry.

But I didn't dare to spread the words like this to the old lady's ears, otherwise there would be a bunch of other things.

The two good happy events were suddenly turned into tragedies by Jia Amnesty, and in the end they still didn't hold a banquet, but Daiyu and Lin Rui didn't mind.

Since the marriage was arranged, Tanchun was no longer a good housekeeper, so he handed over all the things in his hands, and he only embroidered the dowry in Qiushuangzhai.

Among the four housekeepers, she was the only one with a tough temper. Since she was missing, the Rong Mansion became more and more chaotic.

Mrs. Wang wanted to ask Wang Xifeng to come out to help more than once, but Wang Xifeng took care of Mao Mao's affairs, so she couldn't live or die.

Although the old lady had heard about it, but because of Jia Amnesty, she was really tired of distorting the big house, and she didn't care about it at all. It was her ability to invite Mrs. Wang, and if she couldn't, she didn't ask the big house to take care of things. .

Helpless, the three of them had no choice but to hold on.

There are no big things, but small things keep going, just like that, another year has passed, and in the sixth year of Chengqian, Jiamu is 72 years old this year, and her imaginary age is 73. The former contains nine, and the latter has a good saying, "73 , 84 The King of Hades does not invite himself to go".

At this age, Jia's mother can be regarded as earning a living every day, and she can be called a blessing wherever she goes.

Since the opening of the new year, the entire family, not only the Rong Mansion, but also the Dong Mansion are also planning to celebrate the old lady's birthday. Not every family has such a lucky old man.

Although it was a good year, but since the beginning of the new year, there have been many ups and downs. First, in the late spring and early summer, Jia Zheng was read by the Yushitai, saying that he indulged in slavery, committed murder, took bribes, and frightened Mrs. Wang to go home. I went to ask Wang Ziteng to help.

With Wang Ziteng's dealings, I checked it again and found out that Jia Zheng didn't know about it, but it was true that his family members committed crimes and accepted bribes, so they seized the post of Liang Dao in Shanxi in the name of lax family management. , Temporarily return to Beijing to wait for the will.

To paraphrase the old lady's catchphrase, it's pitiful, Jia Zheng has been a Dianmao for nearly 20 years, and finally got a foreign job. Take it at home, forcing Mrs. Wang to lose face and ask her niece for money!

Originally, he planned to return to Beijing to report on his work by the end of this year, and with the help of Wang Ziteng and other relatives, he would be promoted to the first and second ranks, and he would be able to work in a more powerful yamen.

It's a pity that in the end, it still fell short. When the servants were full, he, the master, took all the blame, but he was so angry that he sold all the people in the local area before he came back. Sell ​​it to the bitter place!

This three-year foreign appointment can be said to have lost his wife and lost his army. Although Mr. Dianmao's reputation was not very good, everyone would praise him once or twice for his innocence. His reputation is gone.

He is over half a hundred years old, and the blow this time also means that his political career is completely over. What a blow it was to Jia Zheng, who seemed indifferent but actually ambitious. The journey took two months, if it weren't for the old lady's birthday, I don't know how long it would be delayed!

Jia Zheng returned home, first went to invite Jia Mu's Ann, met Jia's sons and nephews, and met with the Holy Spirit the next day, but the Holy One has not yet convicted him of his foreign appointment, but only granted him a vacation, and he has not yet been granted a vacation. Let him rest at home when he is on vacation.

He was still embarrassed, what would happen if someone came looking for him, I don't know, the Jia family has already been busy at this moment, so there is no time to meddle in his affairs.

This year is the third day of the eighth lunar month, which is Jiamu's birthday. This was planned years ago, and because relatives and friends depended on it, and feared that the banquet would not be held, the male heirs of the two prefectures discussed it, starting from July 28th. Until the fifth day of the eighth month, the two mansions of Ning and Rong held a banquet together. Only officials and guests were invited in the Ning mansion, and only guests were invited in the Ning mansion.

Since the first ten days of July, there has been an endless stream of people giving birthday gifts. The Ministry of Rites and the Empresses in the palace have given birthday gifts, and there are countless exquisite things.

On the 28th, the two prefectures both hung up the festoons, screened the phoenix, put the hibiscus on the mattress, and the sound of Xiao Guan and drum music, leading to the roads and alleys.

Needless to say how lively the next eight days were, until the end of the fifth day, people were already exhausted and unable to move.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the whole house was still quiet until noon, only Jia Zheng became more and more restless after making noise.

It turned out that when he was away in the past three years, Jia Jing's hard work at home finally showed up after he left. Several people with jobs and positions, of course, most of them were still wandering around in the seventh and eighth ranks.

They came to pay their respects one after another. Jia She was wearing the court uniform of a first-class general. Although he still had the title of a fifth rank, he was a guilty minister and dared not wear his white pheasant court uniform. It's fidgeting.

Even at night, it was difficult to sleep peacefully, and after repeated tossing, he woke up early.

At this time, the mansion was still silent. Jia Zheng was walking around in the garden, and unknowingly came to the gate of Yihong Courtyard. He shook his head and thought to himself,

It seems that I still can't worry about Baoyu, my future is already dark, have I pinned my hope on Baoyu again?

However, thinking of Jiamu's ignorant love, thinking of Wang's frail body, he hesitated, he knew what kind of character Baoyu was, and it was inevitable to be angry again when he went in, and it would be bad to disturb the old lady and his wife again. .

Sighing, he turned and left.

"Squeak!" Si'er gasped and opened the door, and saw a man standing outside the door, it was the master!please be safe,

"Master, please."

Jia Zheng frowned in dissatisfaction when he saw her tired face, lack of youthful vigor, and disheveled clothes.

Si'er mustered up the courage to glance at the so-called master, seeing this, he immediately lowered his head again.

Baoyu was afraid of Jia Zheng, and even everyone in his yard became afraid. Si'er was a low-ranking child, and had never seen him before. He learned about Jia Zheng's image from the mouth of the maid and Baoyu, and became more and more like a scourge. up.

Frightened, he said without hesitation, "Is the master here to see Second Master Bao? Second Master Bao has been studying hard for the past two days! He hasn't rested yet!"

"Oh?" He had heard of Baoyu making trouble at home, making rouge, and reading miscellaneous books, but he had never heard of him staying up late to read. Could it be that he was really young and ignorant, and he would become sensible when he grew up. ?
