Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

The voice of the conversation came from the small thatched hut on the back mountain of Qingxu Temple. Although Qingxu Temple is a Taoist temple with a prosperous incense, it also has its own industry. The small hut is also convenient for farmers who come to Qingxu Temple to pay rent temporarily. Rest.

No one would pass by here on weekdays, and it's not the time to collect rent, so it can be said that it is the secluded place in Qingxu Temple. That's why Jia Lishi chose this place to speak. Wang Jingni, who was avoiding people, bumped into her master and servant.

The Wang family loves to drill camps, and even the servants of the Wang family have taken the temperament of the master's family. As soon as they heard Jia Li's voice, the two knew that there was a door. The master and servant looked at each other and sneaked past.

In the shabby little hut, there were only the wife and her personal nurse, and a pair of peasant mother and daughter in coarse clothes. Although the peasant mother and daughter were dressed in coarse clothes, they were washed clean. Especially the little girl, she was really fresh and beautiful, so cute and tight.

Even Wang Jingni couldn't help teasing that child for a while, but just looking at it, she always felt that this child seemed familiar! ?

Jia Lishi seemed to be quite impatient with the peasant woman, and there was a bit of anger on Xiuli's face, "Didn't I ask my mother to give you money every time? Why did you bring Miss Ke here? "

This time she didn't come to offer incense alone, there were three concubine daughters and Wang's from the Jia family beside her, so what if people noticed Ke'er's existence?

When she saw the peasant woman outside the hall earlier, she almost lost her soul in fright. If she hadn't been clever and found a reason to come out, if people found out, everyone would be hurt.

Thinking of this, Jia Li looked at the peasant woman with a somewhat unfriendly expression.

The peasant woman laughed and said: "Keer is missing my aunt, and I just heard that my wife is coming, so I will bring my sister to see my wife."

The old nanny scolded: "Don't use Miss Ke as a fool, what is your wife's status, but you can see me whenever you want?"

Why do you want to see my aunt? According to her, I'm afraid this guy wants to use Kejieer as a gun to beg for money again.

The peasant woman smiled, and then quickly laughed and said: "Your maidservant knows, it's just that it's the first time my wife hasn't seen Sister Ke for such a long time, but Sister Ke really misses my aunt." She paused and said: "Sister Ke My son is getting older, she needs to eat and drink, and she has to add clothes, and this day is also..."

"Come on!" the old nanny waved impatiently, "When did we give less money? This time, there is something in the mansion. It's just a few days late. Why are you so anxious? What is the status of Rongguo Mansion? That would be short of your silver."

If it hadn't been for the old man's sudden death, they wouldn't have been unable to get out because of the old man's funeral, but it would have been a little later, so it was worth her chasing after Qingxu Temple.

The peasant woman was a little embarrassed, and murmured: "I haven't given it for a long time..."

The old mother snorted coldly, pulled the peasant woman aside, took out a money bag and counted the silver for her.

Seeing Yin Zi, the peasant woman immediately smiled, and she quickly pushed the little girl beside her hard, and scolded: "Hurry up! Don't you miss Auntie?"

The little girl seemed to be a little afraid of the peasant woman, but she still hugged Jia Lishi's thigh obediently and said, "Auntie, I miss you so much."

Seeing little Ke'er kissing her like this, Jia Li's anger also slightly subsided, she gave the nanny a wink, hugged Ke'er directly, avoided the side, whispered, two Wang Jingni's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw similar faces together.

What aunt!Looking at the appearance of this girl, she looks like my wife, this is clearly my wife's illegitimate daughter!In Wang Jingni's mind, this child looks so similar to his wife, so he must be related by blood, but his wife dare not bring her back to the mansion. Obviously, this child's identity is a bit special, so it is inconvenient to bring her back. After much deliberation, other than being illegitimate Besides women, what is the reason?

Wang Jingni was overjoyed, the depression that had been tossed about by Jia Yuting at first dissipated a little bit, holding such a big handle, what would she say in the future, would the wife dare not follow through?What about Jia Yuting, how dare she speak harsh words about her without the support of her wife.

Jia Lishi didn't know that Wang Jingni was peeking outside, and she didn't know that she would have such absurd guesses after seeing Ke'er, so she just asked softly if Ke'er was comfortable there, and whether her adoptive parents were bullying her. she?

Little Ke'er answered all of them obediently. Although these days can't be compared with the ladies of the rich family, the peasant woman took the money and devoted herself to raising Little Ke'er. The food, clothing, housing and transportation on weekdays are the same as other little sisters in the village. Than are the best.

Jia Li's heart was a little relieved, she picked this peasant woman because she was greedy for money, but also timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and had no other children under her knees, so she didn't dare to abuse Ke'er.

Although Ke'er returned obediently, she asked again, "Auntie! When can I go home?"

Ke'er looked at Jia Lishi expectantly. Although her adoptive parents treated her well, she still wanted to go back to her home.

Jia Lishi was suddenly stuck, the world is so big, where is Kejieer's home?Speaking of which, Sister Ke's home is in the palace, but this palace is the first place in the world that cannot accommodate Sister Ke.

But Sister Ke is the illegitimate daughter of Concubine Li Shu and the abandoned prince. For some reason, although Emperor Pingkang disposed of Concubine Li Shu, he let Concubine Li Shu give birth to Sister Ke, and it was inconvenient for the palace to raise Sister Ke. Xia De Then he handed Sister Ke to Jia Lishi.

Jia Li's love for the daughter left by her younger sister is naturally painful to the bone, and she wished she could take her home and raise her, but because of her status, it is really inconvenient to keep her, so I won't mention Jia Yuan and his wife. And Jia Daishan also absolutely couldn't allow her to raise Sister Ke to slap the Emperor in the face, so in desperation, Jia Lishi had no choice but to keep Sister Ke outside.

The peasant woman was a servant who once served her in the Rongguo mansion. She was originally a second-class maid in the mansion. Because she was a maid bought from outside, she had no foundation in the mansion. She was always timid and fearful. It didn't take long Then he was let out, and Jia Lishi knew her temperament, thought it over and over again, and handed over Sister Ke to her to be raised.

She has a rich private house and is the wife of Rong Guogong, so she can naturally raise a sister, but as time goes by, the adoptive mother of the sister becomes a little greedy. He began to beg for money from her under various names, and this time he even brought Sister Ke here in person.

Jia Li's eyes narrowed slightly, it seems that her sister can no longer be raised by that peasant woman, but fortunately, she was bought from another place and had no family members, and her husband was only a farmer in the village, because he was from a foreign surname. Not being close to other people in Zhuangzi is easy to solve.

As for what to do after the couple is resolved, that's another question that worries her.

She has also spent a lot of effort over the years, contacting the abandoned prince who was imprisoned in Zhengjiazhuang. Therefore, their aunt and nephew are afraid that they will never have any chance to meet again.

Jia Lishi was reluctant to part with her niece, so she said a few more words to her. At this moment, she vaguely saw a gray-blue shadow shaking outside the window.

Jia Lishi's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't care that Ke Ke was in her arms, so she hurriedly chased her out, but although she was fast, she only saw a bloated figure in gray and blue plain clothes.

Jia Li's heart was pounding in shock. The three sisters of the Jia family were all slim and would never be so bloated, and because they were still in the filial piety period, they all wore very plain clothes this time, not moon white, It was gray and green. If she remembered correctly, what Mrs. Wang was wearing today... was a gray and green plain dress!

Jia Lishi also slipped out. Knowing that someone was peeping, she didn't dare to stay longer, so she warned the peasant woman to take good care of her, and hurried back with her mother.

The old mother was slightly worried when she heard about this, "Princess, could it be that it's the Wang family... But shouldn't she be staying in the room at this time? Why are you so bold to dare to wander outside?"

Wang Shi has such a big belly, if people see it, it will confirm that she was pregnant out of wedlock, Wang Shi should also have some face, how dare she walk outside with her belly upright?

Jia Lishi's eyes narrowed slightly, "If she is not bold, she will do something like getting pregnant with Brother Zheng before marriage."

The old mammy was worried, "Princess, what should I do?"

"It's nothing." Jia Lishi's eyes were slightly sharp, "It's time to solve it as soon as possible!"

She is a carefully crafted princess from North Korea. If she doesn't do some things, it doesn't mean she won't do them. It's about the only child left by her younger sister. She would rather kill the wrong child than let it go. Fortunately, the Wang family is not like that. Old lady Jia is so honorable, as long as the arrangements are made properly, no one will suspect her.

The two hurried back to Qingxu Temple, and seeing Yu Ting's face was quite happy, they knew that Daoist Zhang probably said a lot of good things about his children, otherwise Yu Ting would not be so happy.

She patted Yu Ting's shoulder lightly, comfortingly said: "You have come to the end of all hardships."

Occasional quarrels between husband and wife are nothing, as long as there is a son under the knee, the man is not important.

Jia Yuting blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't know if it can go so smoothly?"

Daoist Zhang said it lightly, saying that there will be good news in half a year, but... Jia Yuting couldn't hide his worry when he thought about her husband who didn't come into her door very often.

Jia Lishi comforted: "Daoist Zhang is a powerful man, I think there should be good news soon after he comes."

Taoist Zhang has some supernatural powers, otherwise he would not have climbed all the way from a small Taoist monk who replaced Jia Daishan to become the master of Qingxu Temple today.

Yu Ting is a married granddaughter, she only needs to take five months of minor merit, and now she will be filial piety in only two months. If she moves quickly, maybe there will be good news soon after filial piety up.

Thinking of finally getting what he wanted, Yu Ting nodded shyly, "I hope everything will be as Taoist Zhang said."

Just thinking of another sentence of Taoist Zhang, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. According to Taoist Zhang, although she has shown the luck of her descendants, she is afraid that her temper will be too violent and scare away her descendants.

Although Zhang Daoshi's words are not easy to listen to, but they speak into Jia Yuting's heart. She knows her own problems, and she also knows that she has gone too far with Wang, but she was not such a temper in the past. Well, if the Wang family hadn't snatched her husband's chance, how could she have vented all her anger on the Wang family.

Although she didn't think she was wrong, but for the sake of her future children, Jia Yuni also restrained her temper rarely, and smiled a little more rarely when she saw Wang Jingni, and she almost didn't scare Wang Jingni.

Wang Jingni looked a little puzzled, could it be that his wife knew that she knew his wife's secret?So why not hold on to the third aunt?Otherwise, why did the third aunt who had always looked down upon her suddenly smile at her?

Jia Lishi narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the clothes on Wang Jingni's body. Wang Jingni was still wearing gray-blue clothes when she came here, but now she has changed into a moon-white plain dress.

She pretended to be unintentional and asked in a low voice, "Why did you change clothes?"

Wang Jingni asked in a respectful and soft voice: "I just vomited so badly that I stained my clothes, so I changed them."

For some reason, after she came back from the back mountain, she was restless, and when she saw some red mud from the back mountain on the corner of her clothes, she changed her clothes altogether.

Jia Li frowned slightly, noncommittal, Wang is pregnant, and it's nothing to get her clothes dirty during morning sickness, but...

Jia Li's eyes drooped slightly, and he quietly looked at Wang's feet. It is human nature to bring extra clothes to change when going out, but these shoes are different. Ordinary people would prepare more shoes to change, and sure enough Although Wang's shoes had been wiped, she saw a lot of half-dried red mud...

A killing intent flashed across Jia Li's eyes.

The relationship between Taoist Zhang and the Rongguo Mansion is different from that of other people. Without waiting for Jia Li's order, he asked people to prepare the first-class plain seats. The plain seats in Qingxu Temple can be regarded as the best in Beijing. They are all vegetables grown in their own Taoist temple. I don’t know if it’s because of the good Fengshui in the temple. The vegetables grown are also very sweet, and the dishes made are also very sweet.

Jia Lishi nodded and said: "Let me give you more snacks, but the others are not in a hurry."

The desserts in Qingxu Temple are truly outstanding, such as cherry blossom cakes, chrysanthemum honey cakes, emerald jade bean cakes...all of them are exquisite and delicious, and they are definitely not inferior to the high-quality refreshments in Jinjiang teahouses.

The eyes of the girls brightened. After so many days of filial piety, everyone’s mouths were so pale, not to mention that most girls like to eat sweets. As soon as Jia Lishi’s proposal came out, the girls immediately agreed. Jia Yuting even asked Jia Lishi She said coquettishly, "My wife still loves us."

Naturally, Jia Lishi sat at the head, and Jia Yuting occupied Jia Lishi's love, but pushed Wang aside. Even so, she was still a little dissatisfied when she saw Wang Shian sitting down at the head. Dare to sit with mother-in-law and aunts openly?

Jia Yuting said sourly: "It's better for the Wang family to marry into our Jia's mansion. Besides our Jia's mansion, is there any family that doesn't set rules for the bride?"

This point actually entered the hearts of the two concubines of the Jia family. One of them married a concubine of the Feng family in the capital, and the other married a scholar's family in the south of the Yangtze River. They set up rules until they were about to give birth, so that the matter of setting up rules was avoided. In comparison, the Wang family was much luckier than them.

Shuting married a scholar family in the south of the Yangtze River, and the rules are strict. He had suffered a lot before, and after hearing the words, he couldn't help but nodded in agreement: "Our family is simple, and there are not so many rules."

Then Jia Yuting covered his mouth again, and smiled as if remembering something: "Oh, I forgot, Mrs. Wang has goods in her stomach, even if it is someone else, she would not dare to make Mrs. Wang set the rules. "

If she hadn't known about Jia Li's illegitimate daughter before, Wang Jingni might have been told by Jia Yuting that she wouldn't dare to sit down, but she knew about Jia Li's and she had confidence in her heart, so she cared about Jia Yuting's gossip Sitting openly.

Not only that, Wang Jingni also said with a smile: "That's as good as the third sister. The third brother-in-law's family is simple, but there is no need to set rules, but I don't know if the third sister has the opportunity to let people set the rules."

The implication is that Yu Ting is childless.

"You!" Jia Yuting was furious, but then she thought about Taoist Zhang's words again. She calmed down and said with a smile, "Daoist Zhang said that I will have good news in half a year."

Then Jia Yuting continued: "I'm afraid you don't know Taoist Zhang's ability? He has always had some supernatural powers, and he is a great illusion immortal who was appointed by the Supreme Emperor. If he was not his father's substitute and has always been close to the Jia family, I would Can't get his advice."

The smile on Wang Jingni's face did not change, "Daoist Zhang's magic power is profound, even if I have heard of it a little bit in Jinling, but..."

She deliberately turned around the acne marks on Jia Yuting's face, "This bastard is also a son."

"You!" Jia Yuting was furious, almost quarreling with Wang Jingni.

Jia Lishi looked at the two women coldly, originally it was just a guess, but seeing Wang Jingni's appearance, her previous guess was completely certain, she turned her eyes slightly, and instantly came up with a plan.

Seeing that the two women were about to quarrel, Jia Lishi said cheerfully, "This pastry is very well made. Let me prepare two extra servings and bring them back to the old lady and grandma."

That's all for the old lady. When Wang Jingni heard that she was going to give it to Mrs. Mu, her heart moved, she quickly got up and said, "Madam, leave this to me."

It's strange to say that she obviously hates Mu Shi so much, but when she heard about Mu Shi, she couldn't help but do it herself, and she wished that everything would be done properly. Hearing about Mrs. Mu, he couldn't help volunteering.

"That's good." Jia Lishi did not doubt that he was there, and ordered: "You tell the people in the Qingxu temple to pick some easy-to-restraints to go back. Mrs. Mu is pregnant, and the old lady has bad teeth. Dim sum."

"Yes." Wang Jingni replied softly, "My daughter-in-law understands."

Wang Jingni supported Nanny He's hand, and went to the kitchen to order in person. Jia Yuting was angry. Seeing Wang Jingni's dog-legged appearance, she couldn't help snorting, "It's not that there are no servants in this mansion. She will go to the kitchen in person." What's the point, don't look at her belly, what if someone bumps into her?"

Jia Shiting quickly took the lotus cake and put it on Jia Yuting's plate, so as to gag his sister, "Your favorite lotus cake, if you don't try it, it will be cold."

Even the wives don't talk anymore, what else do they have to say? To put it bluntly, how many of them are married women who can take care of their mother's affairs?Even if they are prostitutes, they shouldn't, let alone they are concubines. Yu Ting is too presumptuous because his wife loves her.

Seeing that Jia Yuting was still talking, Shi Ting added, "Did you forget what Taoist Zhang said? He wants you to control your temper and don't scare your son away."

As soon as his son was mentioned, Jia Yuting immediately restrained himself, and couldn't help complaining to his sister: "Oh, as soon as I saw her, I panicked in my heart. There is such a younger brother and sister who got pregnant before marriage. She is shameless. I don't care. I want face."

Shuting also opened his mouth to persuade: "Don't—"

When she looked up, she just saw Wang Jingni's cold eyes, and she paused in shock.

Yu Ting didn't know that Mrs. Wang was standing behind her, and continued, "Did I say something wrong? Mrs. Wang didn't know how to love herself, and she made our Jia family---"

Before Yu Ting finished speaking, a plate of chrysanthemum honey was thrown directly at her head and face.

In fact, Wang Jingni calmed down after walking a few steps. She, the second grandma of the Jia family, wanted to go to the kitchen herself, so she asked Madam He to give instructions. Unexpectedly, when she turned around, she heard Jia Yuting laughing at her pregnancy. thing.

If it was before, I'm afraid Wang would have endured it, but now that she knows Jia Li's secrets, she thinks she has caught Jia Li's handle, so she is willing to swallow her anger, hearing Jia Yuting's ugly words, she can't bear it right now. It's happening.

Although Jia Yuting was a concubine, she had suffered this kind of humiliation in her life, so she wanted to explode immediately, but Wang Jingni straightened her stomach and said angrily, "You hit me! Get rid of the Jia family's flesh and blood in my stomach."

Anyway, she doesn't want it anymore, so it's better to help her solve it directly!

Under Wang Jingni's arrogance, Jia Yuting didn't dare to attack her. Hitting Wang Jingni is a small matter, but if it really hurts the child in her stomach...

Jia Yuting couldn't help shrinking back.

"Okay!" Seeing that the trouble was getting worse, Jia Lishi finally made a move, "It's almost time, pack up, we should go back home."

Because of this, people naturally didn't dare to let Jia Yuting and Wang Jingni ride in the same carriage, so Jia Li pulled Jia Yuting to ride with her, and Shiting and Shuting sisters rode with Wang Jingni.

Along the way, Shiting and Shuting were relatively silent with Wang Jingni. Even if they said something, they mostly advised her to be patient. Anyway, Yu Ting was the third aunt who was married, and her husband's family was far away in Jinling. After the Sun Ritual, he only stayed for a few days before he had to go back, which didn't hinder Mrs. Wang.

Although Wang's heart was unwilling, it was not good to offend the two aunts to death, and they just listened to each other, but Jia Li's side was different.

Jia Yuting was covered in chrysanthemum honey by Mrs. Wang. She was not as careful as Mrs. Wang, and she didn't bring any replacement clothes. She had to put on the servant's clothes first. The servant's clothes didn't fit well and were old-fashioned. As soon as she puts on her body, she looks like she has become a servant girl. After Jia Yuting's self-disfigurement, she pays more attention to her appearance, which is bearable.

What's more, the clothes can be changed, but it's not easy for her to wash them in the Qingxu Temple. Honey is all over her head and body, not to mention sticky, and it also attracts many small bugs, which makes her hate Wang Jingni even more. Asked her to fight Wang Shi, but she dared not.

Jia Li asked the nanny to light the incense. This is the famous incense she brought from North Korea—Return to Dream Incense. It uses high-quality sandalwood and mixed with ambergris. It is really rare and elegant. Jia Yuting's originally sullen mood gradually calmed down.

In a daze, Jia Yuting vaguely heard Jia Lishi's words of persuasion: "She is the Second Grandma Jia from Rongguo Mansion."

"You are not as good as her. She is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family, and you are just a concubine."

"Push! Push her! As long as she has no children, she will have no confidence to argue with you."

Although he said each word lightly, each sentence reached Jia Yuting's heart. During the half-dream and half-awake period, Jia Yuting subconsciously followed Jia Lishi, "Push! Push! Push her down!"

"Yes... Push her!" Jia Lishi whispered a few words in Jia Yuting's ear again, and then pressed the acupuncture points on Jia Yuting's neck to let her fall asleep.

"Princess." Jia Li's nanny asked in a low voice, "Do you want to attack Second Mistress now?"

"Why don't we wait for her to tell about sister Ke'er?" Jia Li's eyes darkened slightly, "Before she sees us and we know, let's deal with her first."

Bing is expensive and fast, and only by surprise can the enemy be defeated.

Jia Lishi looked at Yu Ting apologetically, "After all, I feel sorry for this child."

"There's nothing we can do about it." The nanny sighed, "The little princess has sacrificed so much for North Korea, we must protect her only flesh and blood."

Thinking of her dead sister and little Ke'er, Jia Lishi's heart hardened a bit, and she mused: "When Yu Ting makes a move, you will have someone restrain Wang's mother-in-law, but you can't let her escape. gone."

Wang Shi was pregnant, her nanny would never let her go out alone, she must have followed her, she probably knew that Wang Jingni's nanny knew it, and since that was the case, she couldn't let her go.

"Yes." Nanny nodded and smiled, "Princess, don't worry, none of them can escape..."

Because of Jia Yuting's gossip about Wang's family, the journey back was a bit embarrassing. If it was just that, it would be fine. Finally, the group of people returned to the mansion in embarrassment. When Jia Yuting got off the carriage, his eyes were straight. Looking at Wang Jingni, he muttered something.

Shuting was a little worried, and pushed Yu Ting, "Okay, what's wrong with you?"

When she paused for a moment, she was about to persuade her younger sister not to be so unreasonable to Wang Shi, when Jia Yuting muttered something, and suddenly rushed forward to push Wang Shi.

Wang Jingni was pregnant with twins, and she was already bulky. She was knocked to the ground with such a push, and her blood flowed profusely...
