[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

"Why do you want to do this big gift?"

Dong Yunting stood up by the old lady's hand, then cupped his hands again and said: "Maybe the old lady has forgotten, but this junior will always remember your kindness in his heart."

Zhang Rui is really in a dilemma, she is really not a particularly kind person, and she rarely radiates love when she sees beggars before, so she really doesn't remember when she helped others, could it be the original Jia Mu ?But she is even more like ah~

Dong Yunting didn't mind the forgotten things, after so many years, he was used to seeing the ugliness of life and death, and a little kindness in his childhood became more and more precious.

"19 years ago, my father was dismissed and ransacked the house. When you passed by that street, you let my mother and I preserve the last dignity."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Rui vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Jia Zhen and Hu'er pleaded for mercy, and she would take the initiative, but if she said she was kind, it would be a bit exaggerated up.

So Zhang Rui said to him: "It would be an exaggeration to say that such a small effort can be considered a favor."

"Before the Dong family was raided, our mother and son didn't have a good life, but because of this, my father was burdened. Seeing my mother being humiliated, the younger generation felt very sad. Thanks to your 'lifting hands', we were able to return home safely." Speaking of later, Dong Yunting raised the corners of his lips slightly, as if dispelling the evil spirit in his body, "My father committed suicide on the way to exile, and my mother had to take care of her fellow villagers after returning to her hometown, and passed the last few years safely after remarried. A happy time that I never imagined when I was young."

Hearing what he said, Zhang Rui knew that his mother had also passed away early, and he really didn't know what kind of life he lived as a child, so that he could feel happy for the few years his mother had.

The first half of his life was so complicated that Zhang Rui was speechless for a moment. He didn't know whether to comfort him or what, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing this, Dong Yunting immediately said empathetically: "Although Yunting changed his household registration after his mother remarried, he is still the son of a criminal minister. The reason why I tell the truth today is that I don't want to hide the people who have benefactors to me. You The young lady of the family is still young, and Yun Ting has no father or mother, so I am not a good match for her, if you object, I will not have any objections."

"I don't mean that. It's just that if you propose marriage to the concubine of the Rongguo Mansion because of the so-called favor, there is really no need. You have a bright future, and you must be able to find a better one."

"Yun Ting admits that part of the reason is this, but he also knows that the granddaughter you raised must be good, so he came to propose marriage."

Since this is the case, it is of course the best, she doesn't care about the son of a criminal minister, so Zhang Rui called Jia She and his wife to come in, and the matchmaker and Dafang couple went through the process and made an appointment for marriage.

Dong Yunting said that he is not in a hurry to get married, but he is old after all, if it is too late, it is not good, so he asked someone to count the auspicious days of the zodiac, and we can get married on a certain day.

Of course, it will take some time to prepare for the wedding, two or three months is definitely too late, so the wedding date was set on November 25 at the end of the year.

Jia Xuan's marriage is set on the eighteenth day of the fifth lunar month, and Jia Yu is on the seventh day of the seventh month of the next year. These three girls are getting married one after another. In a few years, there will be another wave of girls getting married. This matter is never over. .

Jia Zheng's letter of safety was sent three days after Jia Yue's engagement. Zhang Rui hadn't opened it when it was delivered to the West Courtyard, but Jia Amnesty rushed over and looked at the letter in her hand expectantly.

"Why don't I, a mother, know that you care so much about your brother?"

Without moving his eyes, Jia She continued, "Son, hasn't it been a long time since I saw my second brother that I know what a real brother is?"

"In that case, why don't you read the letter first to make you happy?"

"Okay, okay!" The blurted words could no longer be taken back, and Jia She, who responded, said with a bit of resentment in his eyes, "Didn't you do it on purpose?"

Zhang Rui rolled his eyes, and threw the letter on the table in front of Jia Amnesty, "I didn't lie to you, I promised you to read it first, and I'll keep my word."

"Then the son will be impolite." After speaking, Jia She quickly tore open the envelope and read it carefully.

Zhang Rui didn't care about him, she also received two letters, one was from Aunt Wan, and the other was a letter from the steward who accompanied Jia Zheng, so she took out the letters and read them one by one.

The place where Jia Zheng was released is indeed remote. Although it is a place of one prefecture, it is probably several times worse than this prosperous place like Suzhou City. It is surrounded by mountains, and the mountain roads are muddy and difficult to walk. Not to mention Jia Zheng, even the servants are not used to it.

But Jia She was a little disappointed after reading the letter, because although Jia Zheng's letter was a bit false, it was all about saying that he would work hard. She read Jia Zheng's letter.

After reading another realistic letter, Jia She thought: Is this right? Otherwise, he would be blind in vain if he carefully selected places that were not too dangerous and poor.

Aunt Wan's letter Zhang Rui didn't show it to Jia She, but put it away again and asked him: "How do you think your brother can make some political achievements?"

"You ask me how do I know?"

What he said was straightforward, Zhang Rui said helplessly: "Then you can have someone look up some local records to see what can be traded, collect them and tell me, you have to give your second brother some support, otherwise you are really a big brother It’s a bit disregarding brotherhood.”

What Jia She said about "brotherhood" was just an excuse, what kind of emotions could he have with the second child, since he was a child, he was tired of watching him pretending to be good, but he still smiled and agreed to his mother, and he couldn't really see it. Seeing that the second brother was staying in that remote village, he still had to do his best, if he couldn't come back, then it was none of his business.

After Jia Amnesty spent ten days collecting them, Zhang Rui looked at them, and she didn't know which ones could be used which were unrealistic. This matter still needs to be adapted to local conditions, but there is one thing. will trap their hearts.

When writing the letter, they wrote everything they could think of, and finally Zhang Rui reminded them emphatically, don't rush for quick success, otherwise she will be powerless.

At the end of July, Jia Amnesty's aunt added another concubine to the eldest family, and Jia Amnesty named him Jia Cong, and then left him alone.

Zhang Rui didn't have much interest in raising a child anymore. Anyway, his aunt was in good health, so she let her take care of him. On the contrary, the aunt cried a lot when she saw that her son was not carried to the west courtyard by the old lady. .

In August, seeing that Jia Zhen was going to take part in Qiuwei, they also said in their letter before that the chances of passing the test based on Jia Zhen's foundation were [-] to [-]. Zhang Rui was hoping that the coming of the test god would make him Jia Zhen passed.

After the end of Qiu Wei, she looked forward to knowing the results as soon as possible, but before the results, she waited for Shi Ding first.

"You mean sister-in-law is coughing up blood?!" Zhang Rui couldn't believe it. She went to see it last month. Although she was still very thin, she looked energetic. "What's going on now?"

"My mother is bedridden now, and the imperial physician, the imperial physician told us to prepare for the funeral." Shi Ding's voice was a little choked up when he spoke, and he reluctantly said: "My nephew came because my mother wanted to see you. I don't know when you available."

Zhang Rui heard Shi Ding's news that his sister-in-law was seriously ill and couldn't sit still. At this time, he said directly: "What are you waiting for? Is it important to have your mother when I am free?"

Let the servant girl tell Mrs. Zhang that she is going to the historian's house, and after thinking about it, she asks someone to go and ask Mrs. Wang to go there together. If something happens and she can't get away, Mrs. Wang can help.

All the way to the Shi's house, Zhang Rui rushed to the yard of the elder sister-in-law. As soon as he entered, he saw that all the people from the Shi's house were there. When he saw her, he immediately left a road and let her pass.

At this time Mrs. Shi closed her eyes and fell asleep, Zhang Rui walked over and sat beside her bed, looking at her, she remembered how she had cared for her over the past ten years, whether it was because of the original owner or not, it was a fact that she was sympathetic.

Such a sharp and strong old lady is now lying on the bed with a pale face and lifeless, with tears almost falling from her nose.

With her back to these juniors, Zhang Rui secretly touched her tears. It took a long time to calm down a little, but when the sister-in-law woke up from a coma, her cloudy eyes suddenly lit up when she saw her, and her tears could no longer be held back. Can't live.

Mrs. Shi raised her hand slowly, patted my sister-in-law's hand twice, but she couldn't continue, and laughed at her, "How old are you, you still cry, making the children laugh."

The more she wiped Zhang Rui's face, the more she wiped it, and when she got angry, she directly covered her eyes with a handkerchief, sobbing, "Do you think I think so? Hiccup~ I'm already an ancestor, and you messed with me!" shed tears!"

"Okay, don't cry, I can't be like, like when I was a child...wipe your child's tears."

When Zhang Rui heard the word "children", Zhang Rui couldn't even speak, and just covered his face and wept.

Brothers Shi Nai and Shi Ding saw their aunt, and they also came up to persuade them with some worries. Zhang Rui waved them to go away, and after a while, he threw away the soaked handkerchief, and took the one handed over by Wang Shi. Another handkerchief.

Mrs. Shi has been looking at her sister-in-law distressedly, and seeing that her mood has stabilized, she said slowly: "Life and death are fate. I don't have too many regrets in my life except for white-haired people giving black-haired people. Don't worry about it too much." Too sad."

Zhang Rui shook his head, and said in a crying voice, "I don't want to do this in front of you, but I just can't hold it back, I'm so worthless..."

"I told you a lot before, but at this moment, I only worry about whether you will have any troubles." As she spoke, her eyes gradually became hollow, but Mrs. Shi still blinked to try to regain her energy, "You, Don't bother with anyone, just be happy...be obedient..."

After explaining, he passed out.
