Jia She of the Red Chamber

Chapter 24 Gift List

Speaking of Jia She's newly married, it was considered a happy event, but in order to make his life stable in the future, Jia She could only make the situation more serious, in order to make his wife pay attention to it from the very beginning. To be on guard against someone.

There is really no need to wait until you suffer a loss to wake up. Since you married Zhang Jingshu and the husband and wife can renew their relationship, he must cherish her and protect her, otherwise, wouldn't he be a worthless bastard.

Zhang Jingshu was indeed frightened by what Jia She said, but it was not as obvious as Jia She thought.

Jia Amnesty and Zhang Jingshu have been engaged for four or five years. Could it be that the Zhang family really didn't investigate Jia's inner house at all?

As a mother, Mrs. Zhang probably paid more attention to the issue of marrying her only prostitute daughter than anyone else, so she almost searched the Jia family, and of course it was the inner house.

The important point, of course, is the temperament of the masters of the Jia family. Shi Shi, a mother-in-law, is naturally the most important thing. She has long known that Shi Shi is not a good person. In recent years, Mrs. Zhang has naturally helped My daughter has made up for this inner house.

So Zhang Jingshu is not as pure and kind as she appears on the surface.

But this is also very good, at least when the husband and wife get along, let the husband always give way to me, there is nothing wrong with it.

What Zhang Jingshu didn't expect was that the relationship between her husband and mother-in-law couldn't be worse, and there was a lot less trouble.

After Jia Amnesty finished explaining the precautions that should be paid attention to, the couple came to the yard and asked her to identify the servants around her.

Little servant Lai Da, Nanny Chen's nephew, long follower, Jiao Er.

Of course, the most important thing is to ask Nanny Chen to hand over all the ledgers in the inner courtyard to Jingshu. She is getting old and just concentrates on the property left by her grandmother. Nanny Chen has already said it several times, but what can I do? I have no one in my hands, how many are capable and able to gain my trust?

They are all busy, so what can he do?

Right now, Jingshu has come in, she can take charge of their small yard first, and Nanny Chen can relax a lot.

The old man got married, and naturally most of the people were happy. Whether it was Jia She's former girl or the Shi family who made it up later, everyone was happy. The old man is the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion.

With such a promising master, wouldn't the servants be more aggressive?

Today is the first day to see the eldest grandma again. Apart from apprehension, everyone kept praying that the new eldest grandma would be kind.

But at the moment when they saw the grandma, many people still had complicated emotions, and they never expected that the uncle would be so devoted to the grandma.

Seeing the appearance of the uncle carefully serving tea and making snacks for the grandmother, many people felt sour.

Of course, Zhang Jingshu herself was a little flattered. She should be happy that her husband valued her so much, but this was too much.

Naturally, she understood that he was making a face for herself, and the uneasiness in her heart faded a lot. After staring at the girls and servants for a long time, she consciously prepared herself, and then nodded to Nanny Chen beside her. .

The matter in the uncle's yard naturally fell into the ears of Mrs. Shi Shi very quickly. It's no wonder that it's such a big idea. As the head of the house, what things are unclear to her?

Hearing what Jia She did, Shi smiled disdainfully, let him go, he is just a fluffy girl.

At dinner time, Jia Amnesty took his wife to the main courtyard.

Too busy during the day, this is the only time for the family to reunite and eat together for dinner.

What Jia Shen looked forward to most at one time was dinner. The whole family sat in a group. After the meal, everyone had tea and chatted. It was the most warm and sentimental moment.

It's a pity that the current Jia Amnesty has already passed that time. He hopes that his mother will treat him like the second brother and younger sister. At that time, he didn't know how much he envied the second brother and younger sister. Compatriots, why is there such a big gap?

So maybe there will be resentment, but after all, I still have expectations, which is why I let a lady in the inner house bind my hands and feet with so-called filial piety, and trample me for a lifetime.

Fortunately, God favored me and gave me a chance to do it all over again.

When the bride enters the door, she has to serve her parents-in-law and uncle. It is a rule for sister-in-laws to eat. Mrs. Zhang never thought that she should be different. After finishing the meal, and waiting for everyone to eat the meal, I can go back to my yard to eat.

After Zhang Jingshu picked up two chopsticks dishes for her in-laws and served a bowl of soup, Shi Shi spoke kindly,

"They're all the same family, so it doesn't matter what they mean. After all, there are a lot of women and girls in the family. If these things are laborious, then what's the use of them?"

Just as Zhang Jingshu was about to answer, she said a few words modestly, such as "This is what a daughter-in-law should do", but Jia Amnesty answered with a smile,

"Come here and sit down. There is no such rule in our family. I never remember that my wife served my grandma for dinner. Even the morning and evening meals came after their respective breakfasts. Grandma is kind. , my wife is also comparable, and there is no need."

Hearing these words, Zhang Jingshu was in a bit of a dilemma after all. She could clearly see the displeasure flashing across her mother-in-law's face. Seeing her hesitate, she spoke on behalf of Shan,

"Boss daughter-in-law, please sit down and have dinner. She'er is right. These are the rules of the family. Your wife usually hates these red tapes the most. She is kind, and you will know it after getting along for a long time."

As soon as Daishan said this, Shi's face became more stiff, but he didn't deny it, and pulled a slightly stiff and benevolent smile at Zhang Jingshu.

Seeing Shi slumped, Jia Amnesty felt his stomach ache from laughing, but he just held back.

No one expected that the eldest brother and sister-in-law would make the wife suffer such a big loss in the first negotiation of the newlyweds.

Jia Zheng was pure and kind, and couldn't figure out these things in the back house; Jia Min was ignorant, and although he could sense something was wrong, he couldn't say one, two, three after all.

As for the three concubine daughters, they were dying of joy in their hearts. Who would fight for Shi's injustice?

So at this moment, Shi's heart is unavoidably sad, that little brat doesn't protect herself, it's fine, even her husband has such an attitude, how can she not be sad and resentful?

It's a pity that everyone is staring at her now, and she can't do anything under the watchful eyes of everyone. After smiling at Zhang Jingshu, Shi Shi buried her head in her meal.

The taste of this meal was really good, the stewed ham and knuckle was excellent, Jia She knew that Zhang Jingshu liked to eat, so she brought an extra chopstick to Zhang Jingshu, she smiled back, although she was speechless, the atmosphere was really good, and she was going to get married soon The eldest girl of the Jia family expressed envy.

I am going to get married soon, and thinking about it, if I can raise the eyebrows with my husband, that would be enough.

This meal, everyone ate very well, except for Shi Shi, after the meal was finished and tea was served, everyone relaxed a lot, and the girls chattered without knowing what to talk about, in short, the atmosphere was relaxed.

The three of Daishan and his son are a little more serious here. Daishan wants to know the plan of the eldest son in the future, whether to continue the exam or study first, or to become an official is also a way.

Others may have some scruples about Enyin becoming an official, but it is common for Xungui's family. They have worked hard for half their lives, isn't it just for the enjoyment of their children and grandchildren?

Moreover, Jia Amnesty himself did not reject Enyin's career as an official. Even the imperial examination was nothing more than a way to get promoted.

But thinking about his younger brother who has never been a Juren, he has always been a shady student. He thinks that at least he has the title of Juren. just.

This is also Master Feng's suggestion to him. Although Jia Amnesty worked hard, he is getting old after all. A good study does not necessarily make him a good official. He has an opportunity to be flexible, has the status of a person, and the status of the son of Rong Guofu is enough. .

Listening to Jia She's words, Dai Shan nodded to show that he understood.

As for Jia Zheng, although he also expected his father to ask him a few questions, but thinking about his current situation, he shut up a little sadly.

Dai Shan and Jia She looked at each other, and shook their heads at the same time, it was really a headache for this younger brother.

"Have you prepared the list of gifts for returning home in three dynasties tomorrow?"

Daishan remembered a serious matter and asked Jia She.

Although he was asking about Jia Amnesty, he was staring at Shi Shi.

Shi looked up at her husband, and said to the glass beside her,

"There is a gift list on the Duobao Pavilion, you go and bring it for the master to see."

Hearing this, Glass hurried out.

After a while, Daishan looked at the items on the gift list and was quite satisfied. This time his wife finally did something admirable.

He conveniently handed the list of gifts to Jia She, and after Jia She glanced at it, he burst out laughing.

Sure enough, the gift list was all for the Zhang family's liking. They were all calligraphy, paintings, fans, and orphan copies, which were serious and good things.

But he understood that Shi didn't do this because she valued the Zhang family, but because she didn't understand the value of these things at all, and she just disliked them taking up the warehouse, so she took them out for waste use.

But even so, Jia Amnesty didn't have the intention to expose it, and took advantage of himself.

"Thank you for your trouble, my wife. I'm afraid my wife is very careful about this thing, son... son..."

Such a moved and speechless appearance satisfied Daishan, and Shi felt as disgusted as swallowing a fly. Could it be that those things are really priceless?

But it's just a few pieces of waste paper, it's just rotten in the warehouse, so what's the point of sending it to the Zhang family!

After Shi shi comforted himself, he excused himself to be tired and went back first. The Lai family had to send someone out to ask if those things were really that valuable!

She understands that antiques are valuable, but are calligraphy, paintings, and books also valuable?
