[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Jia Baoyu's birth did not bring hope to the declining Jia family as in the original book, so that he won the favor of Jia Shishi, the real ruler of the Jia family, and was favored by the entire Jia family as the second son of the second wife. Lawless.

Because the Jia family is now in full swing, the appearance of Jia Baoyu not only did not make Jia Daishan, the current ruler of the Jia family, happy, but was full of vigilance and defense against him.

Especially when there is a "non-person" in Jia's family who doesn't like Jia's family very much.

Even in Jia Min's memory, Jia Baoyu was just a lecherous and mediocre person who liked to eat rouge on the lips of maidservants and tried to make rouge by himself, loved obscene words and songs, and sneered at fame and fortune.

Jia Shishi has been Mrs. Rong Guo for so many years, even if she didn't know what kind of impact Jia Baoyu's birth would have on the Jia family at the beginning, she would definitely be able to react later.

She may not spoil Jia Baoyu like in the original book.

However, she absolutely shouldn't, after Jia Daishan had blocked the news that Baoyu was born with jade, she should not have spread the news recklessly because she wanted to fight against Jia Daishan.

After that, before she could calm down, Mrs. Wang added fuel to the flames behind her, causing the news that Jia's family had a grandson who was born with jade spread throughout the capital.

Such a thing will definitely attract royal inquiries, and someone will definitely investigate secretly.

You can't hide it, you can't hide it.

Fortunately, Jia Daishan made a prompt decision and directly named Jia Baoyu "Ying".

Fake gems, real stones, can be regarded as an explanation to the royal family.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhou and the series of changes in Jia's family completely dispelled the royal family's suspicion of Jia's family, and they completely regarded Jia Baoyu as a joke.

-

"What are you talking about? Dividing the mansion? The concubine will never agree!" Jia Shishi screamed in panic. She never thought that Jia Daishan would divide the mansion!

"My parents are here, so why divide the government!"

Jia Daishan looked at her coldly: "If you hadn't spread the news that Zheng's daughter-in-law had given birth to a son named Yu, how could I divide the government at such a time?"

In order to prevent this from happening, after Mrs. Wang entered the delivery room, he ordered people to block Rongguo Mansion, allowing people to enter and not leaving.

Who knew that under such strict defense, Jia Shishi could still spread the news?

After Jia Daishan heard the news, Jia Shishi almost made him laugh.

Jia Daishan sometimes thought that if he hadn't been cruel enough to attack his own children and grandchildren, he would have arranged for someone to strangle Jia Baoyu to death as soon as he was born!

Jia Shishi was startled and wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Jia Daishan with a sneer: "Furthermore, what does it have to do with your Shi clan whether my Jia family divides the mansion? Your consent?"

Jia Shishi was so frightened by the meaning revealed by Jia Daishan's words that he collapsed on the chair, and dared not confront Jia Daishan again.

She originally thought that Jia Daishan wanted to kill her, that's why she dared to fight against her these days. If Jia Daishan didn't want to kill her, but just wanted to divorce her, what she did these days was almost ruining her life life.

Jia Daishan snorted coldly and called Jia Jing directly to Rongguo Mansion.

After the two discussed how to divide the property of Rongguo Mansion, they sent people to the barracks to call Jia Zheng back.Then, in front of the two brothers Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, they raised the issue of family separation.

Jia Zheng was naturally unwilling: "Why does father have such an idea? Parents are old, and the son has not fulfilled his filial piety. How can we separate the government?"

Jia Daishan glanced at him impatiently, and was about to speak when he heard Jia She echoed, "Yes, father, although the second younger brother spends most of his time in the army, the younger sister-in-law, Zhu'er, Yuan Chun and others are still doing their filial piety at home. How can we divide the government?"

Jia Daishan really wanted to pry Jia Amnesty's mind open to see if it was filled with straw!

It's okay to be foolish and filial, why can't you hear the good or bad of Jia Zheng's words, and still want to keep him?

If Jia She was not the only heir, how could Jia Daishan want to pave the way for him before he died, not only preparing to divide the mansion, but also planning to drag Jia Shishi to be buried for him?

Really...

Let him drag Jia Shishi to death, he can do it, but even if Jia Zheng is killed together, even for the sake of the first-class military title on his head, Jia Daishan can't do it like this!

Taking a deep breath, Jia Daishan simply turned his head, not wanting to look at Jia Amnesty's stupid face again.

"Except for the Jia family's indivisible properties such as the ancestral house and the ancestral house, I will share ten shares with my private property. As the successor of the Rongguo Mansion, She'er will get seven shares, and Zheng'er, as the second son, will get two shares." Jia Daishan turned a deaf ear to the words of the two sons before, and simply announced his decision, "The remaining one will be kept as the dowry of Jia's daughter. In the future, no matter whether it is Yuanchun, Yingchun or Nuanchun, one can take out a dowry from it. Of course , what’s more, you parents should plan for them from an early age.”

Jia Amnesty has no objection to this, but still wants to persuade Jia Daishan to give up this separation.

Of course, Jia Daishan didn't listen to him at all.

But Jia Zheng was naturally unwilling.

Generally speaking, when a family is divided, the family property is basically divided into ten shares, and the eldest son of the descendant will monopolize [-]%. Jia’s and Jia Daishan’s private property, Jia Shi’s dowry property, etc. were not brought out at all. Jia Zheng believed that Jia Shi’s private property would be divided up in the future, and he would definitely take the majority, so he could still bear it—but there were three remaining properties , I can only get two copies, Jia Zheng immediately showed dissatisfaction.

The eldest son will have [-]% exclusively, the remaining [-]%, [-]% will be shared equally by the other sons except the eldest son, and the last [-]% will be shared equally by the remaining sons.

However, there are no bastards in the Rongguo Mansion.

Under such circumstances, if the relationship between the legitimate sons is good, the eldest son will give the last share to the younger brother.

Although the relationship between Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng was not good, it did not reach the point of enmity.Moreover, Jia She valued feelings the most, if he said a few soft words, he would definitely give him the family property.

But with a swipe of his pen, Jia Daishan didn't ask Jia Amnesty at all, and directly decided to use this family property as the dowry expenditure of Jia's daughter!

How is Jia Zheng willing?

Jia Zheng went to the military camp for many years of experience, and although the habit of talking around corners is still there, it has faded a lot.And this kind of thing really made him feel uncomfortable, Jia Zheng couldn't hold back, and asked directly: "What dissatisfaction does father have with his son?"

Jia Zheng's tone was full of accusations, but Jia Daishan was indifferent, but inexplicably caused Jia Amnesty to feel guilty.

"Father, if you don't give the second brother [-]% of the family property, the Jia family's daughters' dowry expenses will be directly divided from the son's [-]% of the family property..."

Before Jia Zheng could be happy in the future, he was thrown into the quagmire by Jia Daishan.

"Is your mind full of straw?" Jia Daishan really laughed angrily, "The [-]% of your property is the foundation of the Jia family, the cornerstone to ensure that the Jia family will last for a hundred years, not for you to show brotherly love props!"

Seeing that Jia Daishan was angry, Jia Amnesty couldn't help flinching, not daring to answer any more.

Jia Daishan looked at his two useless sons, and said in a ruthless voice: "I warn you two, no matter what you do in the future, you must not harm the Jia family, otherwise, even if I die, I will have to crawl back to the underworld to kill you!"

In broad daylight, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng shuddered at the same time.

In the end, no matter how incomprehensible the Jia family was, or how much the outsiders had guessed, the Rongguo Mansion was still divided under Jia Daishan's insistence on going his own way.

The next day, Jia Zheng angrily took his wife, concubine and children to the first prize military mansion bestowed by the emperor.

Not to mention, as soon as Jia Zheng left, Jia Daishan pushed Jia Shishi out of Rongxi Hall and went to Rongqing Hall.At the same time, on the grounds that Rongguo Mansion is now in charge of the house and Jia She is not the Duke of the state, the Rongxi Hall was directly sealed off, and at the same time, it was reported to the imperial court to have people seal off the illegal places in Rongguo Mansion in advance.

Because Jia Daishan's series of arrangements for the funeral aroused the sensitive nerves of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor, worried that his condition would worsen, so he specially asked people to come to inquire about the situation.

Jia Daishan did not engage in petty tricks this time, but told the truth verbatim to the two people in power——

"I feel deeply that time is running out, and neither of the two sons will be successful, so I can only arrange everything properly while I am still alive, so that the heirs will be safe."

But when the two people in power heard this, they felt sad and guilty, and the reward was just as if they didn't want money.

At this time, Jia Daishan couldn't hide the news that he didn't have a good life for two years——

Except for a few people before, the others only knew that Jia Daishan was seriously injured and needed to recuperate, but they didn't know that even if Jia Daishan took good care of him, he would not live well for two years.

Among them, Jia Shishi was naturally included.

Because of Jia Daishan's previous actions, Jia Shishi misunderstood that Jia Daishan only wanted to divorce her, but because of the two children and the death of her sending off the old Duke and his wife, Jia Daishan couldn't divorce her. , that's why he endured not touching her.

But even if he couldn't rest, if Jia Daishan really wanted to deal with her, there was no other way. That's why Jia Shishi was frightened and didn't make a big fuss when the family was separated.

But if Jia Daishan is about to die, all the previous speculations will become a joke——

How can a person who is about to die still care about this and that?If you really want to attack her, how can you hold back?

Jia Shishi felt his hair stand on end, even when he was sleeping, he would wake up in the middle of the night.

In an extreme environment where people cannot resist, there is a high probability that they will become abnormal, not to mention that Jia Shishi is not a person who is submissive.

"Yuanyang, go and get my dressing box."

Yuanyang was puzzled, but obediently went to take the dressing box and handed it to Jia Shishi.

After Jia Shishi got it, he waved to Yuanyang: "You go out first!"

Yuanyang bowed her body and stepped back immediately, not forgetting to close the door behind her.

After making sure that there was no one in the room, Jia Shi carefully poured out all the jewelry in the dressing box, knocked on the bottom of the dressing box, and carefully pushed it to the right...

A small thin wooden board was pushed out from the gold inlaid pattern at the bottom of the dressing box, revealing a small space in front of Jia Shishi.

Inside, there is a white medicine bag.

Jia Shishi pursed his lips tightly, and carefully took out the medicine bag with a handkerchief.

After tidying up, she shouted to the door: "Yuanyang, go and call me Lai everyone."

-

The Lin family in Huaiyang did not know what happened in Rongguo Mansion.

When Lin Ruhai first arrived in Huaiyang, he was dragged around to drink by a group of colleagues. Naturally, there were some women to accompany him during the banquet——

Although Yangzhou Shouma was severely hit by Emperor Qisheng for a period of time, Yangzhou Shouma has a good reputation and has developed a complete industrial chain. This industry chain is related to the transaction of money, power and sex. can be completely eliminated.

As the saying goes, there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Yangzhou thin horses cannot appear in front of people. The salt merchants and ordinary people who used to raise lean horses simply went to the dark.

The thin horse was originally raised in the name of "adopted daughter" and "daughter". As long as you don't make a fuss about it, the government can't find any trouble with them.

And Lin Ruhai encountered many "adopted daughters" and "daughters" of colleagues and friends.

If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai's firmness and vigilance enough, he wouldn't have been able to follow the lead of these people when he first arrived in Huaiyang——

Once Lin Ruhai accepts a bribe, whether it is money or a woman, Lin Ruhai has no way to escape.

After a long period of intimidation, Lin Ruhai finally stood firm in the position of Xunyan Yushi, and did not join forces with other people.

This day, Lin Ruhai rarely went home early after finishing his work.

"Master, the old lady and Miss Wan are not here." Seeing Lin Ruhai coming back, the porter hurriedly opened his mouth.

Lin Ruhai paused: "What's going on?"

"The magistrate's family sent someone to send invitations to invite the old lady, wife and Miss Wan to the flower viewing feast."

"Flower feast?"

"The magistrate's wife bought a different-colored peony a few days ago, and she likes it very much, so I invite guests to enjoy the flowers."

Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning: "How long have they been there?"

"Go back to the master, I went early in the morning."

Lin Ruhai frowned, but he couldn't go to the Yangzhou magistrate's mansion to "appreciate the flowers" with a group of female relatives, so he could only suppress his worries and go back to the study.

Jia Shu's stomach is seven or eight months old, and he hasn't been out since arriving in Huaiyang.It was also because of this that she didn't go to the flower viewing banquet hosted by the magistrate's wife.

When Lin Ruhai came back, Jia Shu just woke up, so he asked Xuefu to call him over.

A few years ago, Xuefu Shuangling's group of maidservants also reached the age of marriage. Jia Shu decided to betroth them to the servants and stewards of the house, or redeemed them to marry the shopkeeper of the Lin family's property.

But the servant girl was brought up from a young age, and when she was able to serve Jia Shu, she was at least eleven or twelve years old, and after a few more years of serving, the age of marriage was announced.After changing two groups of people, Jia Shu decided not to have maidservants at all, but replaced them all with the married Xuefu and others who used to be good before, and returned to serve them.

Lin Ruhai's footsteps were soon heard outside the door.

"Ruosang, did the child make trouble with you today?" As soon as Lin Ruhai entered the door, she walked up to Jia Shu and sat down, reaching out to caress her stomach.

When this child was conceived, Jia Shu had a good attitude, but he was affected by worrying about Lin Ruhai. These emotions may have been passed on to the child, so that even though there was only one child, the burden was not as good as that of Huaipi. Pi Zhuzhu was big when she was young, but she had morning sickness instead.

It's just that the baby is about to go into labor, so where is there any reaction such as morning sickness?

Lin Ruhai was also frightened by Jia Shu's pregnancy reaction before, so that Jia Shu stopped vomiting, and he couldn't help worrying.

Jia Shu smiled and shook his head: "The child is very good today."

Lin Ruhai didn't quite believe it, and was about to speak when he heard Jia Shu's "Ouch". He lowered his head and found that the child felt his hand and kicked him.

He could even feel how big the little feet that kicked him were.

Although it was not the first time he felt the presence of a child, Lin Ruhai still showed a look of surprise and joy.

Jia Shu looked at him jokingly: "Why did the child become lively as soon as you came back?"

Lin Ruhai opened his mouth: "Xu Shi, Xu Shi, the child likes me?"

He just finished speaking, and the tips of his ears turned red, but more, he still felt happy.Facing Jia Shu's smiling eyes, he couldn't help laughing.

The two talked for a while before Jia Shu got down to business: "You should know that mother and Zhuzhu went to the magistrate's mansion to attend the flower viewing banquet?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, and couldn't help sighing: "The prefect..."

After all, he didn't have the habit of actively speaking ill of people behind his back. After shaking his head, he still stopped talking.

Jia Shu immediately realized that the magistrate was unreliable: "What's the temperament of the magistrate of Yangzhou?"

Lin Ruhai hesitated, wondering if he should talk to Jia Shu.

Jia Shu took his hand: "Mother and Zhuzhuke are both in his house, tell me what kind of person he is, so that I can be mentally prepared."

Although it is impossible for the magistrate of Yangzhou to attack Lin Mu and Zhuzhu, who knows if he will have other crooked ideas?

Lin Ruhai hesitated for a moment, and said: "The prefect of Yangzhou is good at making money. Four or five girls in the family are all married to valuable colleagues. One is the son of the boss, the other is married to the son of his ally, and two are sent to the high official's house. I became a concubine. Now there is only one..."

He frowned, "He seems to want to send it to the Lin family."

Pippi has also reached the age of trial marriage, if she wants to marry the Lin family, it is not impossible.

But Lin Ruhai used the word "send".Besides, Pippi is now staying in the old house in Gusu to prepare for the exam, how can she afford a "sent" concubine?

Jia Shu immediately frowned: "How old is his daughter?"

Lin Ruhai shook her head again and again: "My husband refused on the spot, and didn't ask his daughter's age. But why, she's only thirteen or fourteen years old?"

Jia Shu's face was ugly: "The skinny horse singers you mentioned earlier, etc., is he also a matchmaker?"

Lin Ruhai sighed: "Most of them."

-

When Mother Lin and Zhuzhu arrived at the prefect's mansion in a carriage, several carriages had already parked in front of the prefect's gate.

After everyone went in, the two were guided by the maid to the back garden of the prefect's house.

Many people have already arrived in the garden.

When the prefect's wife saw Lin's mother, grandson and grandson, she immediately greeted them, and then introduced them to everyone's puzzled eyes.

The eyes of the other wives and young ladies suddenly brightened, and they all couldn't help but want to talk to Lin Mu and Zhuzhu.

Mother Lin held Zhuzhu's hand, greeted them with ease, and then went to the seat arranged by the magistrate for them.

Zhuzhuyanzhu turned around in the garden, and couldn't help leaning into Mother Lin's ear and talking: "Grandmother, I don't know these people at all, why do I have to come to this Lao Shizi's flower viewing feast? My granddaughter just fell in love with it a few days ago." I bought a piece of warm jade, and I plan to use it to practice my hands."

Lin's mother looked at Zhuzhu helplessly: "Although I don't want to, but you are indeed old enough to learn how to communicate with housekeepers. You can't wait until you have to marry someone, and no one else knows that our Lin family has a girl Not married? Your mother also meant the same."

Zhuzhu sighed: "I wish I could not get married."

Since the engagement of the twelve princesses, Zhuzhu has never been in the palace again, and she doesn't feel lost. Instead, she happily learns to make various interesting instruments by relying on the works left by Mr. Huang Lu.Maybe she has a good talent in this area. She can comprehend many things written in the book, and even restore them. The equipment she copied is sometimes even more restored than Huang Lu's son Huang Zhuang.

Therefore, Zhuzhu likes it even more.

However, she also knows that after marriage, most people do not have freedom at home, and these hobbies that are not disliked by their parents at home may not necessarily satisfy their in-laws, so she is quite repulsive about getting married.

Jia Shu also felt that it was better for men in ancient times not to marry, but the official media was in the middle, so they couldn't help but not marry.

Jia Shu had no choice but to persuade Zhuzhu, telling her that "even if you get married, there are still many ways to do your own thing."For example, if you are dissatisfied with your future husband, you can live alone in the yard by yourself;

After listening to the words that are inconsistent with current views, Zhuzhu is not so opposed to getting married.

At the end of the conversation between the two, the maid next to Mother Lin reminded her in a low voice, "Madam Zhifu is here."

Mother Lin raised her eyebrows, reached out to straighten Zhuzhu's clothes, and then turned her head: "Ma'am."

The magistrate smiled and said: "I have heard that the countess is beautiful and beautiful. I didn't want to believe it before, but now that I see Miss Lin, I feel that my reputation is well-deserved. It is I who took advantage of it, otherwise in our identities , is not enough to see the true faces of Mrs. Hou and Miss Lin."

Lin's mother looked at the prefect's wife with calm eyes: "The prefect's wife is full of praise."

Mother Lin's attitude was cold, and the magistrate's wife inevitably felt embarrassed.But Lin's mother's status and seniority are much higher than hers, and the magistrate's wife didn't even dare to get angry with her, so she could only look at Zhuzhu, and changed the subject with a smile: "Miss Lin looks really good-looking, think about it. Master Lin must be very talented, and I wonder which young talent in the capital is lucky enough to marry a beautiful woman?"

Lin's mother glanced at Zhuzhu and said: "Madam misunderstood, the old granddaughter is not engaged yet."

After confirming the expected news, Madam Zhifu's eyes lit up, and she was about to push out her unengaged son according to the plan, but Mother Lin said with a smile: "I remember Madam got a different-colored peony a few days ago? Can I wait to see the real face?"

Madam Zhifu was taken aback, and after a moment of hesitation, she had no choice but to turn around and ask someone to carry Peony out in advance.

When she wanted to speak again, she saw that the grandparents of the Lin family had already laughed and chatted with the other wives and ladies she had brought over, and there was no place for her to intervene.
