Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

It turned out that it was because of this, but after listening to Jia Zheng's retelling of Lin Ruhai's words, Zili suddenly had a terrible thought in her heart, people change, and she and Jia Min haven't seen each other for many years.If Jia's mother was responsible for three parts of Biyu's affairs, then Jia Min might be responsible for five parts.It is almost impossible for a woman living in such a depressing environment to have peace of mind and a spotless heart.It's just that Jia Min is too short-sighted. If she can hold back her anger for a while, she won't be what she is now.Some people may say that they should not swallow their anger, why should women have to bear so much.Of course, in modern society, Jia Min still has the option of divorce, but in this era, Jia Min can only bear it.When you can't change the environment, you can only adapt to the environment.

"Actually, Yuan girl has a good temper. She has a delicate mind, but it is rare that she is open-minded and never suffers herself for irrelevant things. Forget about our children, let's think about how to appease the old lady first." My own child knows that Yuan Chun was brought up like a boy since he was a child, he has seen a lot of the world, and he reads the same books as boys. He just read all the biographies of women once.Therefore, Yuan Chun's demeanor and speech are not free and easy, coupled with Zili's careful training, Yuan Chun can be said to be a standard outstanding lady.

Don't talk about other people's affairs, and think about how to talk to the old lady first.Zili brings the topic back, she doesn't want to take care of this mess anymore, Zili is willing to help solve ordinary conflicts between husband and wife, close relatives and distant husbands and wives, sometimes the husband and wife have some things they can't say directly, It would be great if someone could help to untie it.But listening to Lin Ruhai's complaints, Zili knew that the conflict between Jia Min and Lin Ruhai wasn't as simple as a lack of communication, it might have been stained with blood.She doesn't want to do evil!Jia Zheng sighed: "We did our best, everything depends on God's will." Jia Zheng stood up and said to Zili, "You just lie down and rest. I'll go and talk to my mother. Ru Hai said this himself. What I said, I should naturally tell my mother in person, so that I don’t get the message unclear.” Saying this, Jia Zheng straightened his clothes and left.

As for what Jia Zheng and Jia's mother said, Zili didn't know, but seeing Jia Zheng shutting himself in the study for several days with a dark face and ignoring everyone, Zili knew. The conversation between Jia Zheng and Jia Mu was not pleasant.After all, Jia Mu is sophisticated and shrewd, but she is as normal as usual, and she never mentions Jia Min's failure to come to the capital, as if the hysterical anger that day was all fabricated by Zili himself.

She showed great concern for her sick daughter-in-law, Jia Mu. She asked the kitchen to make exquisite porridge and side dishes for Zili every day, and even sent Baoyu Xiangyun and Yingchun to greet her every day.Seeing Jia's mother like this, everyone in Jia's family flattered her even more. Every day, people came to greet her and give gifts.For a while, Zili's yard was more lively than usual.For the gifts brought up by the people below, Zili returned the gifts without accepting the name of the person who just asked people to write down the gifts.

Zili knew that this was Jia's mother showing weakness, and she was not in a hurry to "cure", so she took advantage of the situation and took a good rest for a few days. It was not until Wang Ziteng's eldest daughter got engaged that Zili officially recovered.Zili first came to greet Jia Mu, and said that Wang Ziteng's eldest daughter was engaged and wanted to invite her over.

"This is also what your brother and sister-in-law wanted. Since you are invited, let's go and relax. Your niece will not be able to stay at her mother's house for a few days, and the family should also get together. A woman can't help herself when she is married. , it will be difficult to get together like this in the future. I heard that her in-law’s family is outside.” Jia Mu remembered her daughter and sighed.

"It's not very far away. She is from the Xu family in Hedao, Hangzhou. She is also a family friend. When the old man of his family was alive, he also had a friendship with my old man. Now that we are married, it can be regarded as a close relationship." Wang Ziteng's daughter betrothed to The Xu family, a family friend of the Wang family, is a famous family in Hangzhou. The Wang family had a deep friendship when they were in Hangzhou.

"Take Baoyu with you. They belong to cousins ​​and brothers, and the ones who change often move around." As Jiamu said, Zili asked Zili to take Baoyu to Wang's house.But Baoyu made a fuss about Jia Mu wanting to go with Yingchun Xiangyun and others, and Zili took them with her.For a while, I drove to Wang Ziteng's new garden with the car of the nanny.

When he got there, Wang Ziteng's wife came out to greet him.Seeing Baoyu hugging her in her arms, Mrs. Zhang said, "I've grown taller again." Then she asked the girl to bring out the best fruits and snacks for Baoyu to eat, and asked someone to take her to find Shixin and Shixiang to play.Unexpectedly, Baoyu looked at Yingchun and Xiangyun eagerly, but didn't want to go out.Zili was a little depressed that her son only liked to play with little girls, she ignored Baoyu and asked someone to take Baoyu out.Seeing that Zili seemed to be angry, Baoyu had no choice but to follow him out aggrieved.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng said to Yingchun and others, "you go to find Brother Feng." She asked the maids to send the girls back to find Sister Feng.

There were only two aunts and sisters-in-law left, so they talked about homework. First, they talked about how the wedding preparations were going. Then, when the subject changed, Mrs. Wang Ziteng looked at Zili worriedly: "It sounds like you are sick, but you don't usually get sick very much. How did you fall ill all of a sudden?"

"Didn't sister-in-law hear any news? My Aunt Lin has come to the capital." Zili held a teacup with a blank expression on his face.She couldn't believe that none of Jia Mu's complaints about Lin Ruhai had been spread.

Mrs. Zhang immediately understood what was going on: "This old lady is really a powerful person. Her own daughter was uncomfortable, so she took other people's daughters to vent her anger. Damn it, wait until that day and I will help you find it." Come on. As a mother-in-law, she said a few words about her daughter-in-law, and no one said anything, but everything can't be unreasonable, and she can't rely on the old to be unreasonable." Zhang listened to her sister-in-law and wanted to help Zili vent her anger.

"I thank my sister-in-law for her kindness. Isn't it a joke to see that I am also a mother-in-law? In fact, my sister-in-law is also a poor person. By the way, what about Jin'er?" Zili asked about Jia Zhu's situation. The case of the fiancée.

"Naturally she is a very good girl. I have asked her to be by my side these days so that I can give her some advice on housekeeping. The girl is smart and willing to work hard, and she is also eager to learn. I watched her indifferently in my house for the past few days. , I have a good heart. There is no frivolous and pretentious behavior. Speaking of marrying a daughter-in-law, the most important thing is not the wealth of the family, but the character of the girl. Have you heard that there are many bad words in the capital, saying that your sister-in-law is harming the concubine's room And stepson, the rumors are very bad." Zhang worriedly reminded Zili of the rumors in the capital.

Zili suddenly became nervous, and couldn't write two words of Jia in one stroke. They said that Jia Min was not good, didn't they just bring all the girls of Jia's family in?Zili didn't care about others, but Zili couldn't ignore Yuanchun's reputation. "Where did this come from? Who told it!" Zili's face darkened.

"Don't worry, this news has just been spread for a few days. Your brother was very angry when he heard it, and he has quietly asked someone to track him down. I think it was probably someone from the Lin family who heard that your uncle Lin brought the The concubine who gave birth to a son has come. No wonder, the mistress has no children, she thought that she would inevitably have the desire to seize the heir after giving birth to a son. It’s just that she is too hateful and messes with people carelessly!” Mrs. Wang Ziteng thought it was Lin Ruhai The concubine who gave birth to a son did it, because after all, she had a motive and she had a rift with Jia Min.

"If it's her, let's see how I deal with this little whore!" Zili gritted his teeth angrily, and just as he was talking, he heard the girl say, "The uncle and the second master are here to greet the aunt." It turned out that it was Wang Ziteng's two sons Shi When Xin and Shixiang came, Zili hurriedly called, "Come in quickly and ask Auntie to have a look."

As soon as the curtain was opened, a little boy like a dough ball came in, Zili laughed: "Who is this little boy, he looks so cute." Shi Xiang's face flushed slightly with embarrassment, he Going forward to greet Zili neatly: "Nephew Shixiang greets aunt." As he said that, another boy who looked exactly like Wang Ziteng came in, he was Wang Ziteng's eldest son Shixin. "Don't tell me he is beautiful, my aunt. My younger brother is the most impatient when people say he is good-looking. Once someone says it, he will be annoyed. Look at the marks on my younger brother's face that he deliberately tanned a few days ago." A member of the Wang family The appearance is not low, but it is also a surprise to give birth to such a beautiful child as Shixiang.

Wang Shixiang was indeed handsome. Although he still had a fat baby face, he had sharp brows and starry eyes, and a bold nose. When he grew up, he would definitely be a handsome guy.Zili held his little nephew in his arms and found that Shixiang's fair face was reddened by the sun, and some places were obviously sunburned.She said distressedly: "Parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, you silly child, they are envious and jealous of everything, what do you care about them."

Shixiang pouted and complained dissatisfiedly: "I'm a man who doesn't rely on my face to eat, so I don't want to be called a girl." Saying that Shixiang snorted disdainfully, Zili thought of himself Baoyu, she suddenly felt depressed, that's how other people's children feel.

"It's very ambitious, but you don't have to pay special attention to other people's comments. Looks are born. If people say you look like a girl, you become a girl? King Lanling is beautiful but good at fighting. He can also make achievements on the battlefield. Don't disturb your mind for those irrelevant things." Zili enlightened his nephew, and Shixin also enlightened his younger brother: "You see, my aunt also said the same, and you are not like Baoyu—" Shixin realized that he had made a slip of the tongue Quickly stuck out his tongue and dragged his brother away.

"Your family's Shixiang is more sensible than Baoyu. I think Baoyu made a mistake. He was supposed to be a girl, but he was born a boy by mistake. You have seen the situation just now. Baoyu must be playing with the girls now." What?" Zili and his sister-in-law complained about Baoyu's character.
