Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

The girls from the Rongning Second Mansion have never been out and about, the Rongguo Mansion is because the old lady of their family is too lazy to move, and the two sisters-in-law Chen and Wang have nothing to do with themselves.

As for the Ningguo Mansion, firstly, Jia Lu is still young and not ready to move around; secondly, Mrs. Han is not in good health and does not go out often; As a daughter-in-law, it is important to serve her mother-in-law. How can a mother-in-law go out to play by herself when she is sick at home.

Therefore, Jia Lu didn't go out very often, and in the past, apart from the sisters and sisters in Xifu, there was no other sisters.But that doesn't mean that Jia Lu won't go out, she also attends occasional honorable parties.

At the party, she saw Jiang Yixue, the eldest girl of Pingyuanhou's Mansion, but she seemed to have a bad temper. caught her.

"I've seen the eldest girl in their family. She doesn't seem to be very popular, but she looks very pretty."

Since Rong Qiang's two elder brothers are about to get married, Mrs. Zhang has heard about these young girls a lot in the past.

"There is a lot of chaos in their family, even the best girl's temper can't be much better."

Jia Lu was puzzled, "What's going on?"

"Mrs. Changpinghou is the stepmother, and she is the concubine sister of the former Mrs. Changpinghou!"

"What's the matter? Didn't you always hear in the past that the mother's family was worried about the young children, so they let the concubine marry her so that she could take care of the children of the sister-in-law?"

"You don't know that, do you? This Mrs. Changping Hou was originally from a small family. When Mrs. Yuan was here, their grandfather served in the court. They can still be called a family of officials. Their grandfather left. Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan The father of the current wife was also a concubine and exterminated wife. Without his father's control, he was not a housekeeper, and there was no censor watching over him. He forced the wife to death early, and brought the birth mother of the current Mrs. Changping Hou into the main room. "

Jia Lu exclaimed, "Concubines are not allowed to be wives, isn't this breaking the law?"

The Zhang family didn't care much, "With Marquis Changping as their backer, and they don't have anyone in court, who would want to provoke them."

He also said, "Poor Chang Pinghou's original wife has had a hard time at home. She originally thought of having a marriage with her fingertips as a marriage. It would be fine if she got married. Who would have thought that her concubine would be attracted to this marriage?" , can't fight for it, even the members of their clan have taken action, so the mother and daughter just give up."

Jia Lu listened with interest, "What happened next?"

"After we got married, I gave birth to the eldest son for the Changping Hou Mansion. When my second daughter was born, she suddenly died of dystocia. Her natal family said that the child was young, so they hurriedly married the current wife over.

If this is the case, that's all right, now my wife gave birth to a son only seven months after she got married, and it was said that she was born prematurely, but she acted like no one had ever given birth, the weight of six or seven catties is not premature. "

Jia Lu's complexion changed, "Then, is the first wife really having a difficult delivery?"

Zhang Shi said, "That's the reason. Everyone suspects that the original wife's dystocia may be tricky."

"Then Elder Changpinghou doesn't care?"

Zhang said regretfully,

"The Marquis of Changping and the old lady were very good people in the early years. I haven't seen them when I was young, but I heard about their reputation when I was in my natal family. It's a pity that I went there early. Everyone saw them. On the surface, I have a lot of concern for Marquis Changping, but I didn't expect him to grow into such a useless appearance!"

"Then what about the Duke's Mansion?" Jia Lu asked.

Mrs. Zhang seemed to have lost interest in the matter of Changping Hou and his wife, saying,

"It's probably the same with their family. Duke Zhen is indeed the youngest among the Dukes of the country, but he has reached the Spring and Autumn Period. He also has a son. He is the eldest son and has grandchildren. He is a first-class uncle. Niu Jizong, it's just that the eldest son is the son of his first wife, and he is not loved by the Duke of Zhen. He later had another wife, but he left before he was happy. This is the third wife, only [-] years old. Son, I am naturally happy in my heart, this child is naturally the third wife, the eldest son of the current Duke of Zhen, but he is not the eldest son of Duke of Zhen."

After hearing these two gossips, even Jia Lu lost interest. Marriage in ancient times is like reincarnation. It all depends on luck. Look at the experiences of Changping Hou's first wife and Zhen Guogong's first two first spouses. It was because she felt that she was still young, and she was a little worried about her future. She was born in a red building, and Jia Xichun didn't even have an official match, and she was a little Taoist nun until her death.

"There is another coincidence between these two families. Both families have a concubine and a prince. This Zhen Guogong's mansion is the natal family of Concubine An and the sixth prince. This Changping Hou's mansion is the late Jiang Zhaoyi and the fourth prince. my niece."

"These two families have royal backers, so who dares to say that they are not good?"

While the two were talking, someone outside reported that the old lady had come.

Mrs. Zhang muttered for a while, "I heard that the second girl is ill, why does the old lady have the heart to go out?"

Jia Lu was stunned when she heard that, second sister is sick?

Jia's mother is of high seniority, and Zhang's is a grandson's wife. She dared not delay, so she hurriedly went out to greet her, and said to Jia Lu who was beside her, "Sister, I'll pick up the old lady first, why don't you go back alone first!"

This mother of Jia is of high seniority and age. Normally, people who have to be close to her will invite her three times and four times, and she will only make a move. The second sister is still sick, and Jia's mother came here without any notice. Jia Lu is very curious. What is she here for.

"It's been a long time since I went to pay my respects to the old lady. It's really unfilial, so let's go with you!"

After all the gossip just now, Mrs. Zhang and Jia Lu got a lot closer, so they agreed.

The two hurried and finally saw Jia Mu who had just got off the sedan chair at the second door. It was strange that she had no one to accompany her, only mandarin ducks were watching by her side. Zhang Shi and Jia Lu hurried forward to say hello.

"Greetings, old lady."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Get up, get up."

Zhang didn't intend to salute at all, before she finished speaking, she stepped forward to help her, and the Yuanyang Gang stepped aside.

"Why didn't the old lady notify you in advance when she came? The granddaughter-in-law could pick you up, but why didn't Brother Feng come with you, but she was lazy."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I also saw the good weather today, so I came to see your master. Oh no, it's the old man. Brother Jing is also the old man's man now."

Mrs. Zhang jokingly said, "No matter how tall our old man is, he is not your nephew, and he is not as tall as you!"

Mother Jia patted Zhang Shi's hand, seeing Jia Lu silently following behind after greeting herself, making Mother Jia uncomfortable, she called her over,

"Sister Lu, come here and let me see you."

Jia Lu stepped forward and walked to Jia Mu, who took her hand and rubbed it carefully,

"Poor dear, although your mother is gone, you still have your father, your sister-in-law, or the old lady and me! Your mother is a filial child, and you have to be a filial child. It is filial piety to humiliate yourself like this." the behavior of?"

Jia Lu had a sore nose, and said with restraint, "I know, old lady."
