[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

Zhen Baoyu and the servants of the Zhen family turned their heads and left. Although they had already broken with the Zhen family, if something happened when they left the Jia family, they would not be able to explain clearly, so Zhang Rui waved to Pearl and said: "You Let the guards go out and come back when they get there."

Pearl nodded, and said: "The servant knows."

After the uproar just now, the main room became quiet for a moment. Zhang Rui saw that Mrs. Zhang still had a cold face, turned around and asked Jia Wei, "How do you know the young master of the Zhen family?"

Jia Wei bowed his head and said respectfully: "After the test, Uncle Bao went out to play and met Young Master Zhen, so he took him back to the old house to play with him. At that time, he seemed a little self-willed, but he was very innocent. He had never been so shameless."

"The relationship between our family and the Zhen family is not good. Although I didn't tell you the specific reasons, I don't believe that you don't feel it at all. Keeping a distance from the Zhen family is at least something you should know. Why would you bring people away? Come back? If there is any problem on the way, who of you can bear it?"

Glancing at Jia Baoyu, Jia Wei bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "It's Jia Wei's fault, please punish my ancestors."

Zhang Rui is helpless, let alone ability, as the eldest grandson of the house, Jia Wei's character is really a bit meek. When Jia Hu was at this age, he had already helped Lin Ruhai with a lot of outside affairs, and even started to care for his aunt's marriage. Worry, and he, even if Baoyu is an uncle, is younger than him, so he can't directly object, or will he come around?

Regardless of why the Zhen family's beloved child followed the Jia family from the south to the capital, if the Jia family hadn't left this gap in the first place, it wouldn't have happened today.

Mrs. Zhang was also very disappointed with her grandson, who was old enough to get married, yet such a mistake would still occur, so she said coldly, "Since you made a mistake, wait for your father to come back and be punished."

"Yes, grandma." Jia Wei knelt on the ground and accepted the punishment without any sophistry.

Jia Baoyu saw that the elders were scolding Wei'er, although he was a little scared, he stood up and said: "Grandmother, eldest aunt, don't blame Wei'er, it's me who insisted on playing with him, and when we came back, Wei'er also disagreed." Well, I insisted that it's okay..."

Mrs. Wang glared at her son who had no winks, and sure enough, she heard Mrs. Zhang say: "Since you call me auntie, I naturally have the right to teach you. Do you think you are fine if I don't tell you?"

Jia Baoyu trembled, knelt beside Jia Wei, and said nothing, showing that he was willing to bear any punishment with his nephew.And Jia Huan, who has never said a word, saw his brother and nephew kneeling there, and knelt beside him silently...

Seeing this, Zhang Rui said, "Then you should kneel here and wait for Hu'er to come back." After speaking, she stood up and was about to leave. When she passed the collar that Zhen Baoyu had thrown on the ground and hadn't picked it up, Zhang Rui stopped in her tracks. The collar was picked up immediately before they left.

The mother-in-law left, Mrs. Zhang also stood up, and went out without saying a word, but Mrs. Wang walked up to her son, poked his forehead fiercely, and said angrily, "The Zhen family almost killed you. Sister, you still call their family's Hunshimowang a brother? Why did I give birth to such a wicked person like you!"

Baoyu asked in a daze, "What's wrong with my sister?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she asked, "Mother, my son really doesn't know, he just feels like it..."

Wang gave him a blank look, and said to the maid: "Bring them a few cushions, and don't have to spend money to see a doctor if there is a problem with kneeling."

When her mother left, Baoyu cried and said to Jia Wei and Jia Huan next to her, "It was I who harmed you..."

Jia Wei shook his head and said, "I didn't try hard to dissuade you." Jia Huan next to him pouted, feeling that his brother-in-law was really troublesome, but he knelt honestly without saying anything.

When Jia Hu came back in the evening and heard about it, she was very ashamed, "Let them kneel down." Xie Pingyuan was beside him and didn't even dare to plead for his son.

However, it was impossible for Jia Hu to ignore the children's health, let them wake up two hours later, and let the doctor look at them before ordering them not to be given dinner.

Jia Zhen came over from Ningguo Mansion the next day, and said to Jia Hu with some shame: "Rong'er is the biggest, and she didn't even take on the responsibility of her elder brother..." In other words, if Jia Wei is responsible, then Jia Rong's problem is also Not small.

Jia Hu didn't express any opinion on the nephew of Ningguo Mansion, but stood up and invited: "Go to grandma, she should be very happy to know that you are here."

"What you said made me feel even more ashamed." Jia Zhen rubbed her nose. He had no time to spare, and he spent some spare time thinking about having fun, so he neglected the elders.

When they arrived at the west courtyard, Zhang Rui was really happy to see Jia Zhen, who was always eloquent and coaxed her into a happy smile.

Jia Hu saw that her grandmother was not affected by what happened yesterday, so she took the initiative to mention: "The children of our generation are a bit careless, why don't you let them suffer more?"

"Speak and see."

"Rong'er, Wei'er, and the others have never studied in the ethnology, so the school rules in the ethnology have no effect on them. What Sun Er means is that in the future, the children will also go to the ethnology to study with the children of the clan."

After hearing Jia Hu's words, Jia Zhen asked back: "Even if you go to ethnology, what kind of trouble can you suffer? Instead, it's easy for them to indulge themselves and not study hard."

The children studying in the ethnology school are not as good as the descendants of the Ningrong Second Mansion. If they go there at that time, everyone will support them, and if they don't want to make progress, they will have to pay for the mess in the school.

Zhang Rui also thought that the ethnology in the original book was in a mess. Although the Jia family's ethnology discipline is very strict now, the atmosphere of the whole era is like this. If they start messing around again, it won't make the Jia family lose face...

"Part of the guards will be supervised in the past. If they do something wrong, they will be strictly punished. They are not allowed to bring servants. Everything is done by themselves. The monthly money given by the mansion is also cancelled. If you want better treatment, you can use your grades in exchange."

Jia Hu didn't sleep for a long time last night because he was thinking about how to help the next generation of the Jia family, especially the heirs of the two prefectures, to grow up better. Going to the ethnology is just one of his hypotheses, and he will propose it today Was wondering if there is a better way to do it.

"But..." Zhang Rui didn't agree very much, "Teaching students according to their aptitude also has some differences due to the different teaching goals. It's not appropriate for Rong'er and Wei'er to study with other children, right?"

In the past, Zhang Rui would never have said such obviously unfair words, but seeing that Hu'er bears different responsibilities from other people, she also became more and more clear in her heart that most of the eldest sons in this era would be punished. While giving more resources, the hard work for the family is unmatched by other children.

Jia Zhen listened to what her aunt and cousin said, and said casually: "Then divide the students of ethnology into two, and Rong'er and Wei'er each take one to represent Rongning and Ningfu. , one of them will be punished."

When Jia Hu heard it, his eyes lit up, and he praised: "Cousin Zhen's method is wonderful!"

Seeing that she was being praised by her cousin, Jia Zhen immediately raised her chin, and said somewhat complacently, "Young people always like to be competitive. As long as we reward and punish them properly, it will be easy to punish them."

Zhang Rui saw that Jia Hu also agreed, so he reminded: "If you decide to do this, you must not distinguish between Rongning and Ningfu, lest the children's youthful vigor will hurt the harmony between the two prefectures."

Jia Zhen and Jia Hu both nodded in agreement, and Jia Zhen asked, "Then how do you feel the difference?"

"Drawing lots~" Zhang Rui said it as a matter of course, where to go is determined by fate, is there anything more fair than drawing lots?

After making a happy decision, Jia Zhen and Jia Hu went to the ethnology to agree on new school regulations with the gentlemen, while Zhang Rui called Wang to the west courtyard.

"Mother, what can you do for me?"

Mrs. Wang is rare to be a little cautious, there is nothing she can do, after all, her son has just made a mistake, and she, as a mother, is also afraid of being angered~

Zhang Rui was not in that mood at all, but said directly: "Do you still remember what you told me about the nine princesses last time?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, "Remember, isn't this the companion of Pan'er and the Ninth Princess who grew up together?"

"You were the one who told me that the emperor is going to choose a son-in-law for the nine princesses. How do you feel about Baoyu?"

"Ah?!" Mrs. Wang never expected her mother-in-law to have such a plan, but her mother-in-law never said it when she talked about it last time, "Why did you suddenly..."

You must know that these nine princesses are well-known in the capital. They are obviously the daughters of a court lady, but because their temperament and appearance are very similar to the late Empress Dowager, both the Empress Dowager and the Emperor have favored her a lot. The big temper is becoming less and less like a woman. After the news of the selection of the son-in-law came out, the slightly powerful people were not willing to have their promising descendants to propose marriage, and the worthless dude was worried that the princess would be angered and the family would be implicated. .

However, the Taishanghuang and the emperor also claimed that it was all voluntary, that there was no limit to their family background, but they had to be the sons of the legitimate sons, so those who went there were the sons of the legitimate sons of small families, or the second sons and youngest sons of the lower families. Who is chosen to be the son-in-law.

"If Baoyu's temperament is not controlled, who knows when he will get into trouble without knowing it? Since he likes to play and doesn't want to make progress, wouldn't it be good to be a son-in-law?" Zhang Rui stared into Wang's eyes faintly Said: "Besides, it wasn't you who told me, 'Although the Ninth Princess has a bit of a masculine temperament, she is exquisite in appearance, reasonable in her actions, and there have never been any bad rumors. the truth'?"

Wang nodded, "Daughter-in-law did say that, but..." Why did she have the illusion that if she was really chosen, she would marry her son?
