[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Before Yingchun, she was rejected by Jia Shusuo's hug, but now she was not angry when faced with Jia Shu's actions, and still stretched out her hand to her with a good-natured smile.However, the protruding arc is not as large as before, and it seems a little cautious.

The maid holding her took a look at Mrs. Zhang, and handed the child to Jia Shu.

And Mrs. Zhang hugged her daughter.

Jia Shu hugged Yingchun in his arms, and then handed her a jade tablet with Yingchun's zodiac sign engraved on it, but the material of the jade pendant was not as warm as Nuanchun's jade, but a relatively rare crimson jadeite.

Mrs. Zhang was born in a famous family, so she naturally understood this, so she just glanced at it and didn't look at it again.

Although the zodiac sign of Yingchun is engraved on the jade plate, which is more thoughtful than Nuanchun's gift, who made Jia Shu unaware of her daughter's existence?

When Nuan Chun was pregnant, when integrity was at its most intense, she didn't dare to spread the word about a fetus, but carefully sent someone to inform her natal family.When Nuan Chun was born, although the dust had settled on the succession, but during that time, the situation was changing, and many officials were up and down, so she didn't dare to hold her three cleansing banquets and full moon banquets at all.

Mrs. Zhang originally planned to host a hundred-day banquet, and informed the Jia family of the existence of Nuanchun, but who knew that Jia Shu came to visit suddenly and learned of the existence of Nuanchun in advance?This is something that makes both of them very helpless.

Xu saw that Jia Shu really loved Yingchun, so Zhang naturally mentioned about Yingchun: "This second girl is also poor, she was born, and her aunt is gone." Zhang looked carefully at the silent girl. Jia Shishi took a look, "The nanny that the family originally picked was also a traitor, if it wasn't for the servant girl who came to report it, it happened to be because of the warm spring, and I was picking a suitable nanny again, so I don't know what kind of punishment this girl Yingchun would suffer."

Jia Shi rolled his eyelids towards Zhang, his expression slightly annoyed, but when he touched Jia Shu who was at the side, he silently closed his mouth again.

Wang's eyes flicked back and forth between the three of them, and finally fell on Yingchun who was held in Jia Shu's arms, curling her lips in disdain.A concubine is a concubine, even if she changes her identity, she is still a concubine.

Jia Shu was still pregnant after all, teased Yingchun for a while, and then handed her back to the servant girl's arms.

In the maid's arms, she turned her head to look at Jia Shu reluctantly, as if she still wanted Jia Shu to hug her.The maid gave Jia Shu a slightly apologetic look, whispered a few words of comfort in Yingchun's ear, Yingchun was obedient, smiled shyly at Jia Shu, and bowed her head to play by herself.

Thinking that Zhuzhu was like this when she was a child, most of the time she played by herself, but Zhuzhu had such a personality, so she didn't try to "correct" Zhuzhu's temperament, but Yingchun was more like she was too disappointed when she was a child, There is no one to accompany her, so I just play by myself.

Jia Shu couldn't help asking Zhang, "When did Yingchun's nanny change?"

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Jia Shu suspiciously, "Just a few days ago."

Jia Shu sighed, no wonder.

Seeing that she finally put down Yingchun, Jia Shishi called out to Jia Shu, but when Jia Shu looked back, Jia Shishi pursed his lips again, hesitant to speak.

Jia Shu didn't have that kind of patience with Jia Shishi, so he didn't ask her if she didn't say anything.

Noticing Jia Shu's strangeness, Jia Shishi sighed, and simply closed his eyes and rested his mind, thinking that he was confused just now and wanted to ask Jia Shu to help her intercede with Jia Daishan...

It was also at this time that Jia Shu noticed Wang Shi who was sitting beside Jia Shishi, with lowered brows and pleasing eyes.

She had been in Jia Shishi's room for so long, but Wang didn't say a word, and her sense of presence was frighteningly low. It was very different from the way she met a few years ago, Wang always tried to attract the attention of others, and tried to be the center of the crowd. .

What is even more surprising is that the clothes on Wang's body have also become plain and dull. There are few hairpins on his head, no makeup on his face, and a string of wooden Buddha beads wrapped around his hands.

Jia Shu couldn't help but linger on Wang's face, and was surprised to find that Wang, who was originally radiant, now has the appearance of the "clay sculpture Bodhisattva" in the original work of "Dream of Red Mansions".

What has Mrs. Wang experienced in these years?

Wang noticed Jia Shu's gaze, and smiled at her: "Is there something wrong with the third sister?"

Jia Shu froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Wang simply looked away, then lowered her head and started counting the beads in her hand.

Zhang's eyes were dark, and he sighed secretly, and said: "Third sister, don't mind, the second brother and sister have devoted themselves to Buddha in recent years, and it is not intentional to neglect."

Jia Shu shook his head.

-

After Jia Shu left, Wang and others also left Jia Shi's house one after another.

After a while, Jia Shi suddenly said, "Yuanyang, tell me, what is the Duke thinking these days?"

She has been married to Jia Daishan for decades, so it can be said that she understands him deeply.There was something wrong with Jia Daishan, even if she couldn't guess the reason, she could definitely see the general idea.

For example, this time, whenever she visited Jia Daishan in Lixiangyuan, she could feel that Jia Daishan's attitude towards her was very strange, and sometimes she could even sense a sense of crisis that made her shudder——

This feeling came only when she knew that Jia Shu was not human.

She always felt that Jia Daishan was holding back bad things during this time, waiting for the opportunity to attack herself.

Jia Shishi originally thought that the only people in the Jia family who could persuade Jia Daishan were Jia Jing and Jia Shu, but if she approached Jia Jing rashly, it would definitely attract Jia Daishan's attention. It is whimsical to intercede in front of Jia Daishan.

only……

Ugh……

The mandarin duck lowered its head and did not answer.She knew that the old lady just wanted someone to listen to her, not for her to answer.

Besides, how can a little girl like her know what the Duke of the country is thinking?

After Jia Shishi packed up, he led a group of people to look at the Lixiangyuan where Jia Daishan had been recuperating since he was injured.

Leaving aside the sense of crisis in her heart, when the new emperor takes over, Jia Shishi has many important things to discuss with Jia Daishan.For example, the matter of Jia Zhu studying, for example, the matter of Yuan Chun entering the palace.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Jia Daishan lying on the reclining chair. After Jia Shu left, several juniors came to Lixiangyuan to accompany him.

It is said to be companionship, but Jia Daishan actually wants to take advantage of the last period of his life to teach some of his life experience to the next generation of the Jia family.

If it weren't for Jia Zhen who couldn't stand up to the leader, Jia Rong also had the potential to attract cats and dogs, and he could even call this father and son over——

Jia Wanshi was holding back her breath, even though the noble girls she was looking at didn't look down on Jia Zhen at all, she insisted on not dismissing the maids around Jia Zhen.Just when Jia Zhen was getting older day by day, and even Jia Jing couldn't see it and wanted to intervene, Jia Wanshi actually found a noble family who was willing to marry Jia Zhen and whose status was not inferior to him at all. female.

Although it was later found out that this noble girl had some flaws in her appearance, at least she had good fertility. However, she had sex with Jia Zhen for a month and she had Jia Rong.

It's just that the noble girl's life is not very good, and after Jia Rong is left, she will have a difficult delivery.

After that, Jia Rong fell into the hands of Jia Wanshi, and she didn't feel that she had made a mistake in Jia Zhen's education, and she doted on Jia Rong just as much.

Jia Jing knew that Jia Daishan didn't like Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, but for the sake of Jia Rong's future, he still sent Jia Rong to Jia Daishan from time to time.

But today, Jia Rong went to his ancestral home, not in Ningguo Mansion.

After Jia Shishi entered the yard, he directly grabbed Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, and then asked the other children to find their own mothers.

Brother Jia Hu and Wang Xifeng looked at each other, saluted Jia Daishan and his wife respectively, and then left.

Jia Daishan opened his eyes, staring at Jia Shishi coldly.

Jia Shishi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly avoided Jia Daishan's gaze: "My lord, Zhu'er's homework is not bad, and she's getting married now, shouldn't it be time for him to go back to Jinling to take the scientific examination?"

Jia Shishi said this suddenly, not to mention Jia Daishan, even Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun were not mentally prepared, at this moment they all looked at Jia Shishi with a slightly dazed expression.

Jia Zhufu has white lips and vermilion, even though he is a young man, he also has a youthful spirit. From a glance, he only thinks he is a handsome boy.

But who is Jia Daishan?He knew all about the man's affairs, and as he glanced at Jia Zhu's face, he immediately saw the black and blue under his eyes, and he looked like he was overindulgent.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, actually started to indulge in sex?

Jia Daishan felt that there was not much difference between Jia Zhu and Jia Zhen from Ningfu.

He also asked, but he learned that it was Jia Shishi and Jia Wangshi who were fighting, so you came and went and put seven or eight young and beautiful girls in Jia Zhu's yard.

In order to make Jia Zhu more pampered by the girls he gave, those girls are more enchanting than each other.

Jia Zhu is only a young man, how can he resist the hooking ups of those girls?

But the Wang family wanted his son to become a dragon, and forced Jia Zhu to study all day long.After coming and going, this body gradually deteriorated.

Now that he is in charge, Jia Zhu's body is not broken to the end, but thinking of Min'er's memory of Zhu'er's "untimely death", Jia Daishan is very displeased with Jia Shishi.

How Wang treats Jia Zhu is what she deserves. Who made Jia Zhu crawl out of her stomach?But what is Jia Shishi's grandmother running to join in the fun?It's fine that Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun were both brought up in her own room by her, but do they even want to intervene in their life's major events?

At the beginning when the mother appointed the Zhang family to pardon the son, didn't the Jia Shi family make a lot of trouble, and even went to him to cry all day long?The relationship was all a play back then?

Even, the mother originally wanted Xie'er to take the imperial examination. If Jia Shishi hadn't whispered in his ear all day long, "Xi'er is not as good as Zheng'er in studies, and as the son of the Duke's family, he is not inferior to the imperial examination." One way, is it better to hand over the quota of Guozijian to Zheng'er", can he have conflicts with his mother, and can he waste Xi'er's reading talent in vain?

Now, Jia Shishi wants to repeat the old trick again, it doesn't matter whether he likes it or not!

Jia Daishan looked at Jia Shishi, his eyes became colder and colder.He simply turned his head and looked at Jia Zhu: "Zhuer wants to take the imperial examination?"

Jia Zhu looked at his grandfather and then at his grandmother, sensitively sensing that the atmosphere between the two was not right.And this is wrong, it seems, because of him?

Jia Zhu felt a little perplexed: "Back to my grandfather, the master once mentioned that although my grandson's reading talent is not as good as my uncle's, and he is far behind in the exams, but a scholar's reputation is very secure."

After all, it is a young man, since the master said so, he naturally wanted to try it out in the imperial examination field.

He seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Besides, Brother Hu and Cousin Xian also seem to have plans to end." He lowered his head, "Grandson wants to try it together."

Jia Daishan looked at Jia Zhu: "Are you serious?"

Jia Zhu nodded: "My grandson is absolutely telling lies."

Jia Daishan hesitated when he thought about Lin Xian from Lin Ruhai's family, and Jia Hu who was praised by the private school teachers many times.

He paused, and said, "I'll have someone ask you how many uncles you have before."

The corner of Jia Zhu's mouth hooked up, looking very happy.

Jia Shishi and Jia Yuanchun, who were listening to the conversation between their grandparents and grandchildren, both heaved a sigh of relief.

But he didn't want to, Jia Daishan suddenly turned his head to look at Jia Shishi: "This is very normal, why did you drive Hu'er and Lian'er away? Or, do you have other shady plans?"

Jia Shi quickly denied it: "Master Guo really wronged my concubine."

Jia Daishan sneered: "If there is nothing else, leave quickly!"

Jia Shi's chest felt tight at these words, but he didn't dare to confront Jia Daishan, so he softened his temper: "Master Guo, I really have something else I want to discuss with you when I come here this time."

Jia Daishan squinted at her: "Say!"

Jia Shishi took a deep breath, and pulled Jia Yuanchun to his side: "My lord, the emperor has not long been enthroned, and it is the time when the harem is empty and there is an urgent need for drafts. I think about it, our Yuanchun is the same as this capital, no matter in appearance or talent. The first-class talent here, why not..."

"Snapped--"

Jia Daishan stood up abruptly, slapped Jia Shishi hard in the face, and slapped him to the ground: "The eldest granddaughter of my majestic Duke, what kind of person can't be married, and you want to send her to the palace?" Li? Do you still want your head?"

If in Min'er's previous life, due to the failure of the crown prince to seize the heir, he died early and the Rongguo Mansion fell, Jia Shi's family sent Yuan Chun to the palace for the sake of the Rongguo Mansion to fight for the future of the Jia family, it would be understandable——

If he was alive, he would send Yuan Chun to the palace to fight for the wealth and wealth for the sake of the Jia family.

But Rongguo Mansion is now in full bloom, when flowers are blooming and brocades are blooming, and Jia Shishi is still thinking of sending Yuanchun into the palace!If Yuan Chun can't get ahead all his life, it's fine. If he gets ahead and even has a son, what awaits the Jia family is not a rich future.

But when Yuanchun enters the palace, is it possible not to show up?

Now the new emperor can look at him and favor Yuan Chunrong very much, but what about when he goes?When the son of Xindi starts staring at the chair under his ass?

Prosperity must decline, since ancient times!

He, Jia Daishan, took his life for Jia Jiabo's future, but he didn't let Jia Shishi squander like this!

Jia Shishi covered his face unbearably humiliated, and looked at Jia Daishan in disbelief, never expecting that he would hit her in front of his two grandchildren!

Throughout his life, Jia Shishi loved himself the most, and especially loved his face and his power as the Duke's wife.

Jia Daishan's move can be said to have stepped on Jia Shishi's face in the mud, leaving her with no face.The most important thing is that this move of Jiadi Ashan also reveals that his patience with Jia Shishi has reached the extreme.

Jia Shishi did not miss the killing intent in Jia Daishan's eyes.

She suddenly felt flustered and fear gradually filled her heart.

Both Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun were dumbfounded. They couldn't fully understand what was happening before them, and they were completely stunned.

Especially Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun was not ignorant of the matter Jia Shishi raised to Jia Daishan.

Ever since the Jinling Zhen family sent two daughters to the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and now that the crown prince is on the throne, one of the two Zhen family daughters has been conferred the title of noble concubine, and the other has been promoted as the prince's side concubine.

Yuan Chun always knew that when his grandfather was alive, he could still be regarded as the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, but once his grandfather passed away, his value would plummet, and to the outside world, he could only be called the daughter of the "First Prize Army".She was already high-spirited, and with her close grandmother and mother beating the drums, her heart was naturally moved quickly.

But looking at her grandfather's actions, it seemed that she did not approve of her entering the palace.

Yuan Chun's heart began to waver: Could it be that, like other rich ladies, she should just marry a well-matched husband and live a mediocre life?Why can't she fight for the woman's supremacy?

The father of the crown princess was on the wrong team before, but after the crown prince came to power, he directly put the crown princess into the cold palace, and he never even did it for a day as a queen.

Even the natal family of the crown princess has been demoted and driven away, and there are not many people in the capital now.

If it weren't for the love between husband and wife for many years, the prince might directly ransack the princess's natal family!

Under such circumstances, Yuan Chun, as a girl of the Rongguo Duke's mansion who is in full swing, wants to enter the palace to fight for the posthumous position, isn't it okay?If the Jia family can produce a queen, wouldn't it be better than marrying her off at will?

But Jia Daishan had a tough attitude: "Jia Shishi, Jia Yuanchun, and the Jia Wang family who are not here, the words of the Duke of the country will be left here. If you dare to go against your will and send Yuan Chun to the palace to participate in the draft, the Duke of the country will be fine." I can directly write an excerpt and get Yuan Chun to the temple to be with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha!"

The Jiazhu siblings gasped.

In the end, Jia Shishi took his brother and sister away from Lixiangyuan with a pale face.

It's just that Yuan Chun vaguely noticed that the old lady's attitude towards their brothers and sisters seemed to be not as close as before...

-

Not long after, the person Jia Daishan sent to the Lin family came back: "Master Lin, Mr. Lin said that Mr. Xian's current knowledge is enough to pass the examinations below the Jinshi level. He really intends to let Mr. Xian end next year, and then pass the exam in one go. Juren. If the ranking is good, he will have the face to recommend Uncle Xian to Liu Zhengqing and Liu Daru's academy when he returns to Beijing two years later."

The literary style in Jiangnan is prosperous, there are many well-known Confucian scholars and academies, but there is also a lot of competition, and because of the reputation, almost all the students from all over the Great Xia went to Jiangnan to continue their studies.

When Lin Ruhai was young, Lin's mother was worried after all, but let him go to study at Liu Zhengqing's great Confucianism, which is closer to the capital.

Liu Zhengqing's knowledge is not as poor as that of the great Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is not like the great Confucians in the south of the Yangtze River. He still thinks more about writing books, but devotes his whole body and mind to teaching and educating people.

Both Lin Ruhai and Jia Shu felt that with Pippi's current knowledge, although Lin Ruhai was able to teach, he was beginning to struggle——

After all, it has been nearly 20 years since he took part in the imperial examination. Although his knowledge has increased because of the compilation of books, he has almost forgotten many details related to the imperial examination.The most important thing is that he is busy with official duties and doesn't have much time to answer difficult questions for Pippi.

After the couple discussed, they decided to send Pippi to Liu Daru's academy.

But because of the previous teaching aids, Liu Daru is now famous, and some people even faintly call him "the first master of Daxia".

Too many people want to send their children to Liu Daru to let him teach them personally. Even if Liu Daru has great enthusiasm, he doesn't have superhuman strength?Energy is limited, in order not to delay the children, he can only limit the number of places.

Although he felt that Liu Daru would definitely accept Pippi, in order to silence other people, Lin Ruhai still decided that he must let Pippi rank among the best in Qiu Wei, otherwise he would rather change to another academy.

Jia Daishan didn't know what Lin Ruhai and his wife were thinking, but he also felt that if they really wanted to send Lin Xian to Gusu and Jia Hu and Jia Zhu to Jinling along the way, they shouldn't be rejected.

After all, Huaiyang, Gusu and Jinling are already close to each other.

-

Within a few days, Jia Hu and Jia Zhu packed their bags and went directly to the Lin family, and then went to Huaiyang with the Lin family on the waterway——

Yes, the whole Lin family, including Zhu Zhu and Lin Mu, were planning to go to Huaiyang with Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai didn't have any other concubines. When he took office in Huaiyang, Jia Shu would naturally follow him, even though she was four months pregnant.Lin Xian was going to Gusu to take part in the scientific examination, so naturally he had to follow.

However, all the male members of the Lin family have left, and only Lin Mu and Zhuzhu, the old and the young, are left in the capital, which is not very good.

Coincidentally, because of the end of the succession, the status of the Lin family has risen, and the marriage of Lin Xian and Lin Wan has become a hot topic in the capital. Every time they go out to a banquet, some people want to introduce their children of the right age to the Lin family.

But the Lin family only had these two children, so they were not willing to make a marriage so early.

Jia Shu was even more against this.

The two children are currently sixteen years old, and after two years they will come back to see each other, and after completing the three letters and six rituals, they will be seventeen or eighteen years old.The body is mature, and pregnancy and childbirth will not hurt the body, just right.

Besides, Pippi didn't have any fame and was a man, so she wasn't in a hurry to get married.And if Zhuzhu got married late, it would be easy for people to talk about her, but with her temperament, if she married a family in the capital, she might not live a good life. Why don't you go to the south of the Yangtze River, where the literary style is prosperous, maybe you can do it Find the one that matches your personality.

It is even more impossible for Lin Ruhai to let Mother Lin stay in the capital alone, and in the end, it will become what it is today.

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu looked at the luggage of several large ships of the Lin family, and they were a little dumbfounded.

Lin Ruhai stood in front of the two brothers with Pippi, smiling kindly: "We are all a family, so don't be polite. If you need anything, remember to tell the servants on the boat, and they will solve the problem for you."

Jia Hu froze for a moment, "Thank you uncle."

Lin Ruhai shook his head: "Auntie is pregnant with twins, and I want to take care of her by her side. I'm afraid I won't be able to answer your questions along the way."

Both Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were a little disappointed, but they couldn't say anything embarrassing when they thought about the equipment that all the elderly and pregnant women in the Lin family had.

Fortunately, Lin Xian smiled and said, "Don't listen to my father. My mother is in good health. Even if she is pregnant, she is much better than ordinary women. There is no need for my father to worry about it."

Lin Ruhai turned around and tapped his forehead with his fingers: "Don't talk about your elders!"

Lin Xiancai was not afraid of him, he just stopped talking because he thought that he was unfamiliar with each other and would not save his father's face in front of the two cousins.But he also said, "I have a lot of free time to take care of my grandmother and mother and have a father and sister. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me first. If I don't understand, then go to your father, so as not to disturb you." he."

Lin Ruhai smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand to hit him again, but Lin Xian jumped away nimbly, without letting Lin Ruhai touch a single hair.

Lin Ruhai pointed at Lin Xian, and said dumbfoundedly: "You are the only one who is weird!"

Jia Hu and Jia Zhu stared at the harmonious atmosphere between Lin Ruhai and his son in astonishment, and looked at each other, thinking of how unfamiliar they were with their father, they both felt a little envious in their eyes.

A few people were still about to talk, when they saw the maid beside Jia Shu coming over and shouting: "Master, Mr. Xian, Mr. Hu, Mr. Zhu, the luggage has been packed, and the boatman is about to set sail."

Lin Ruhai nodded, and boarded the boat with three and a half children.

The journey went smoothly, and in about two months, the Lin family's boat took Jia Hu and Jia Zhu to Jinling, and then Lin Xian to the Lin family's old house in Gusu, and then went to Huaiyang to take up his post.

As soon as Jia Shu and his party entered the mansion, a message came from the capital——

Wang's fetus gave birth to a son who was born with a jade title.Jia Shishi was very happy, and immediately took the baby name of "Baoyu" after hearing it, and carried him directly to his room.

Not long after, there was another news that Rong Guogong and his wife had a big quarrel, and after disregarding everyone's objections, they named Jia Baoyu "Ying".

Yingzhe, a beautiful stone like jade.Fake jade is also a real stone.
