old lady in red

That night, after his uncle left, Jia Zhu went to Xiyuan to meet his mother, Mrs. Wang.

At such a time, Wang already knew that Jia Zheng sent her back to Guining, and the resentment on her body was much less. It was rare that she did not make things difficult for Jia Zhu, and she shed tears at Jia Zhu, expressing that she regretted it.

Wang said: "Zhu Er, mother doesn't know why she did such a stupid thing at the beginning. Mother really regrets it. In fact, I don't want to sell the interests of Rongfu. I just think that as long as your uncle's power can suppress Rongfu Mansion, your grandmother will definitely let your mother take care of the house, and your father will treat me better.

Pearl, you don’t know, since you went to Jinling, your father hasn’t talked to me properly, like my house is poisonous, and he never turned around and left, I can’t help it…”

Jia Zhu came here for the sake of Guining tomorrow. He hoped that his mother could take care of the overall situation: "Mother, it is just a family matter for you to separate from your father and live together. My son hopes that you can get along with your father in peace tomorrow..."

Wang immediately responded: "It's natural, Zhu'er, can you let my father see me, mother wants to apologize to him face to face..."

Wang's thinking is beautiful, since her brother said that she can keep the position of the second mistress if she can conquer Jia Zheng, why wait until later?

Wouldn't it be enough to win Jia Zheng right now?Why let that side branch woman enter the mansion?

Jia Zheng belonged to her, so she didn't want to be favored by side girls.

Jia Zhu could only smile wryly when she heard the words. In the current situation, her mother is still so naive, thinking that a little bit of softening can turn the situation around?

The sweet potato is condensed with the grandmother's painstaking efforts. A wife of a state prince went to the field in person, and ran to a wild mountain village. It was so easy to end up, but the mother wanted to steal it, and even his son couldn't forgive it.

What's more, how can a grandmother who is so determined and unambiguous be able to tolerate it?

Jia Zhu once privately heard her grandmother tell Nanny Lai that she could tolerate stupid people, but she could not tolerate vicious people.

Jia Zhu thought that her mother might be the vicious person her grandmother said she was.

Although Jia Zhu didn't know why her grandmother commented on her mother like this.

However, Jia Zhu felt that her grandmother was not a nonsense person.

Grandma is not a bully, she is someone who has big aspirations and works hard to make them a reality.

Grandma doesn't like to stir up trouble, but anyone who messes with grandma will end badly.

This is what Jia Zhu has heard and seen since she came to Jinling and was brought up by her grandmother.

In the clan, there are uncles and uncles, and all those who bully others are eliminated by the grandmother.

Those servants who tried to do something wrong all disappeared.Although Jia Zhu didn't see it with his own eyes, he could guess what happened to these people.

Although grandma sometimes does things ruthlessly and old-fashioned, but grandma loves the poor and cares about the old and helps the weak and the weak.

Since Jia Zhu could remember, three years ago to be precise, my grandmother donated several hundred shi of rice and grain every year. Last year, because my uncle’s father succeeded in the imperial examination, my grandmother said it was to repay God’s protection, and even donated a thousand shi Rice grain.

Basically all the warehouses in Jinling were emptied.

The Rong Mansion has [-] mu of private land, and the past three years' worth has been spent by the grandmother to do good deeds.

The expenditure of Rongfu is more than 2 mu of meritorious fields in the eastern province.

Jia Zhu sometimes thought that if her grandmother could serve as an official in the imperial court, she must be an upright and capable official on the herdsman side with clear rewards and punishments!

Look at my mother again...

Jia Zhu sighed, he just hoped that his mother would not make a fuss and not embarrass everyone for his own selfishness.

Jia Zhu didn't think about her mother's request to meet her father.

Not to mention that today I want to clean up Mr. Zhang, even if my father is free, he will definitely not agree.

Jia Zhu said: "Father is not free today, and wants to clean up Master Zhang.

Mother, you don't have to be disappointed, your father will escort you to Ning tomorrow, and it's the same if you have something to say to your father tomorrow.So, mother, please stop arguing with your father tomorrow, and wait for your uncle to leave your father to drink, then you can communicate with your father slowly, will it work? "

The Wang family originally wanted to meet Jia Zheng today, and reconcile with Jia Zheng before Wang's side daughter entered the mansion.

Now that Jia Zheng has business to do, that's all.

However, Wang thinks she still has a good chance.It must be that when she was newly married, she and her husband Jia Zheng still had a wonderful life like a fairy.

The next day, early in the morning.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Cong and Yuanchun, dressed in Confucian robes, worshiped the altar of Confucius and Du Fuzi under the witness of their grandmother and parents, and became serious students of Du Fuzi.

Yuan Chun was the happiest. She could be regarded as having entered the Confucian school and became a Confucian student.

The reason Du Fuzi agreed with Yuan Chun to study in a private school is also because the style of writing in the south of the Yangtze River is at its peak, and most families do not object to women studying.

Furthermore, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian are his serious students, and Jia Cong and Yuan Chun seem to be the masters who follow along to join in the fun.

The Rong Mansion treated him like a guest of honor, and it was not a breach of etiquette, so he was happy to raise a manor.

Shi Mei is not sloppy, the students have changed from two children to four children, and the number of things for three days and two lives has also increased, and Shu Xiu has also increased.

For the addition of two children, Rongfu added a monthly rule of twelve taels to him.

The trouble made Du Zongyuan a little embarrassed, and he agreed to introduce a Juren to the Rongfu before leaving.

Lin Ruhai knew few poor people, but Du Zongyuan had many poor classmates.

Furthermore, Lin Ruhai can't take care of his father-in-law's affairs right now. He is currently tidying up the mansion, decorating the house, and preparing for the wedding in the next year.

Shi Mei was even busier here.

Jia Amnesty is about to prepare for the assessment, so Shi Mei asks Jia Jing to bring Jia Amnesty back to the elite circle in Kyoto.

Jia Zheng settles his property and lives away, so Shi Mei has to decorate a new house for him.I bought two sets of three-entry houses and spent a total of 2000 taels of silver.

Then, money is spent on repairs, decorations, trees, and ponds.

Shi Mei plans to separate Jia Zheng's family and become independent after Jia Zheng's announcement in March next year.

Jia Min is going to get married, and Shi Mei has to prepare a dowry for her.

Jia Min's soft dowry is ready.

Mother Jia began to buy dowry for her daughter from the moment she fell to the ground.

Now Jia Min's Wei Rui Xuan has been filled with treasures and antiques.

The small treasury was also full of dowries.

Jia Min's dowry is only left with wooden furniture.

October 28 is an auspicious day.

Mrs. Zhang took people to the Lin family to measure the plum garden where Lin Ruhai lived.

Lin's house is a courtyard with three entrances, but there is no space inside.

The Lin family bought the houses on the left and right, and converted the houses on the east side into a lower courtyard for the servants of the Lin family to live in.

The west side is transformed into a garden.

For the three-entry courtyard, basically each courtyard has its own garden.

The first one to enter is Lin Ruhai's outer courtyard, which is used to entertain guests.

Ruhai's study is also entering.

Mother Lin lived in the main courtyard of the second entrance.

The third entry is Lin Ruhai's new house.

Lin Ruhai connected the back garden with the west yard, forming a large garden with various plum blossoms planted by the pond.

Entering the courtyard for the third time, Lin Ruhai personally inscribed on the lintel - Double Plum Garden.

Mrs. Zhang smiled, measured the size, and went back to report to Shi Mei: "My brother-in-law has really put his heart into it. The fourth younger sister has not passed through the door. She has already been regarded as the owner of the mansion. The new house is named Shuangmei Garden."

Shi Mei didn't say anything, she would rather Lin Ruhai be more vulgar and build a lotus or durian garden.

When Jia Min heard the news, she was secretly happy, smiling secretly while wearing her wedding dress.

The joy of brows and eyes will flow out.

On the third day of the winter month, Mrs. Wang returned to Rongfu after staying at her natal home for half a month.

Under the witness of Jia Jing, the patriarch of the Jia clan, and Wang Ziteng, the elder brother of the Wang clan, Jia Zheng and the Wang clan signed a pledge and entered into a letter of property separation.

Only the patriarch Jia Jing knew about this matter in the clan, only Shi Mei and Jia She and his wife knew about it, and only Jia Zhu knew about the grandchildren, and none of the others knew about it.

Years ago, Mrs. Wang temporarily lived in Xiyuan.

Jia Zheng lives in the study in the front yard.

Jia Zhu Yuanchun lived in Rongqingtang when he was in school, and went back to visit Wang during Xiumu time.

Except for the fact that Mrs. Wang instigated Jia Zhu to call Jia Zheng a few times on Xiu Mu Ri, and bumped into a wall a few times, generally speaking, the whole family lived in peace and harmony.

Shi Mei ignored the relationship between the Wang family and Jia Zheng, even if Jia Zheng slept with the Wang family again, she didn't care.

In short, she won't keep Wang's family in the door anymore.

On the eighth day of the first month of winter, the annual winter hunting feast in Kyoto begins.

Emperor Jiahe thought he was capable of both civil and martial arts, so every year on this day he would lead the nobles from Kyoto and relatives of the emperor to the Xishan paddock to compete in martial arts and hunt.

Take this opportunity to assess honors, at the same time recruit Ouchi guards, and also take this opportunity to expand Jinyiwei.

The warm-up for this year's examination room is the honorary inheritance examination in Kyoto.

Jia Shede completed the bow horse riding and shooting in full view.

In fact, Jia Amnesty can be exempted from the exam if he can become a martial arts examiner.

However, the assessment of the nobility is a new policy of the imperial court, so even if you are a martial artist, you have to go through the motions.

In order to show the impartiality of the court's laws and regulations.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Shimei Zhang in Jia's mansion also received the invitation for the winter hunting feast.

The winter hunting feast is a feast for the selection of talents in the court, but it is a feast for the ladies to see their son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Originally, Jia Min wanted to embroider the dowry at home, but Shi Mei had a plan and persuaded Jia Min to participate in the winter hunting feast to relax.

There is no problem with the entrance ticket, Yang is sick, and Xiao Yang will not be able to get a face, Jia Jing doesn't allow her to go out to socialize at all.

Jia Min happened to be able to take the place of the Yang family, and sat in the Guanjing Pavilion dignifiedly.

On this day, Shimei, Zhang's and Jia Min's three were dressed in expensive mink fur cloaks, with fur hoods on their heads, and they were holding lying rabbits in their hands.There are long buckskin boots on the feet.

Shi Mei and Jia Min were all cultivating and felt slightly sweaty, only Zhang Shi felt a little chilly.

Shi Mei didn't teach Zhang's cultivation, firstly, she didn't know that she had no roots, and secondly, she didn't know whether this daughter-in-law would accept her mother-in-law's ability to practice.

As for what a root bone is, Shi Mei herself is half-baked and doesn't quite understand.You will only know when you practice.

Jia Min was taught because Jia Min was physically weak, and also because Jia Min was sister Lin's mother.

The daughter has a fairy fate, and the mother can't be worse.

Shi Mei is going to be free for the new year, and she will teach Jia Zhu and Jia Lian how to practice, and see if the two boys have the roots of practice.

Let's say that Shi Mei took Zhang's Jia Min in a carriage on this day, and was escorted by Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty to Yujie to gather.

Your Majesty's queen's dragon, chariot and phoenix have not yet left the palace.

Honorable and noble carriages are arranged according to official rank.

The royal relatives and relatives are at the front, and the nobles of the Rong Mansion are at the bottom.

The Rong Mansion has friendship with the four princes and eight princes, so they can't pretend they don't know each other when they meet.

Shi Mei sent Nanny Lai to take the four daughters-in-law to the carriage of the concubine of the Fourth Palace to say hello.

Concubine Bei Jing was a little uncomfortable because the Northern King's nonsense had frightened the female family members of the Rong Mansion.

A few days ago, when I went to Rong Mansion, a group of people surrounded me, and I didn't talk to Mrs. Rong privately.

Therefore, a housekeeper was sent to invite Shi Mei and Jia Min's mother and daughter to sit with her.

The princess does not have a daughter-in-law now, and she is sitting alone in a big carriage with Zhulun canopy, which is very spacious.

Shi Mei asked Nanny Lai to give each of the four nuns who came here a purse containing wishful jade pendants, and said with a smile: "Please thank the princess for her kindness on behalf of the courtiers, and we will go to greet the princess when we arrive at the hunting ground." .”

Not to mention that His Majesty does not allow princes and ministers to communicate in private, the edicts of the Eight Dukes' Mansion are all waiting in line at the back, and their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go to the front, isn't it to cause hatred.

Shi Mei just wanted to advance silently, and didn't want to cause trouble.

The nuns of the Northern Prince's Mansion have seen a lot of gold and silver, but Shi Mei rewarded them with jade pendants, which is to respect their master and give them face.

The four of them naturally spoke for Shi Mei when they went back, and analyzed the difficulties of the Rong Mansion to the concubine, there was no one in the family to support the facade, and a group of female relatives could only keep a low profile and not dare to overstep in the slightest.

Concubine Bei also felt that she was impatient, so she suppressed her emotions and thought about it, and she would explain it to Mrs. Rong after she went to the hunting ground.

Shi Meimao was arriving at Yujie.

At Chenzheng, the palace gate had just opened, and first came out two puppets, 24 palace guards, wearing armor, holding horizontal knives and bows and arrows.

This is the emperor's personal guard, the Imperial Guard.

Then, there is the Horse Guards, also 24 cavalry.

Behind it is the palace band with a big battle.

There was a huge formation, Shi Mei estimated that there were at least 500 people.

Behind it is a colorful flag array.

The civil servants and military generals accompanying the capital, the children of meritorious service, followed this phalanx.

What appeared again was His Majesty's dragon chariot, with two tiger generals on the left and right, with swords on their waists.

Jia Daishan had been in this position most of the time.

Shi Mei also recognizes these two people now, one is Wang Ziteng, who is in charge of the garrison in the capital.

One is King Zhongjing, who is in charge of the guards in the palace.

Behind them are eight guard phalanxes, with two generals in front and countless soldiers behind them.

All of them hold swords, guns, swords and halberds, and they are majestic.

Behind this imperial guard are the chariots and horses of the accompanying officials in Kyoto.

Shi Mei's frames entered the queue in order, and it was already half an hour later.

Behind the frame of officials and family members is a huge garrison force, about [-] people in size.

Shi Mei knew that in general hunting activities like this, the vanguard troops would enter the hunting grounds in advance, clean up the battlefield, and set up the arena.

This time back to hunt in Xishan, His Majesty's team is estimated to be more than [-] people.

It was already around noon when the large troops arrived at the Xishan hunting ground.

The first thing to do when you arrive at Xishan is His Majesty give you food.

Shi Mei didn't know how the emperor ate in the cold weather and the temporary imperial dining room.

However, the diet of the Shimei girls was simply unpalatable. The meat dishes were chicken diced trotters, so hard that they could break their teeth.

The white vegetable oil was condensed on the green vegetables.

Although the rice was cold, it was still chewable.

Fortunately, most lords have experience, and most of them bring their own food.

Rongfu brought a bag of wontons, as well as shrimp skin, crispy fish nuggets, chicken wings and duck wings.

There was a carbon stove in the car, and the Rongfu was allocated a small tent, which was very convenient for heating water and dishes.

The thumb-sized wanton was cooked quickly.

Just as Shi Mei ate wontons here, Princess Bei Jing's stewardess arrived.

It was Princess Bei Jing who invited Shi Mei to talk to her.

At such a time, many female relatives of the palace and the royal palace walked around each other by giving food.

Shi Mei took Jia Min from the Zhang family, and also brought a food box to pretend to go to the tent of the palace to offer treasures.

Princess Beijing's camp is still empty. Obviously, the princess first invites the female family members of Rongfu.

Seeing that Shi Mei would bring her daughter and daughter-in-law.Princess Bei Jing froze for a moment.

She was going to have some private conversations with Shi Mei.

Shi Mei took her daughter-in-law with her, and obviously didn't want to have a deep talk with her.

Princess Bei quickly returned to normal.

First of all, praise Jia Min, how he raised him, he is so smart.

He also praised Shimei's good fortune, her daughter-in-law is so virtuous, and she has grandchildren.

In the end, he lamented that he was unlucky, and the talents in the palace were withered.

Bei Wangfei's eyes were red: "It was because of this that our prince lost his dignity last time, please don't blame me, madam."

Princess Bei actually wanted to talk about what happened three years ago.

In the palace coup, the four kings and eight princes were all present, but only Jia Daishan died.

The four princes and eight princes did not save Jia Daishan's life, nor did they win honor for him after death.

Everyone felt that they owed Rongfu.

Shi Mei repeatedly stated that these things have passed, and everyone should look forward.

Another female relative came to visit outside, and Princess Bei hastily mentioned something to Shi Mei: "Mrs. Rong has been away from Beijing for three years, I'm afraid I don't know about the changes in the noble circle in the capital during these three years.

The son-in-law of the eldest princess's mansion died of illness two years ago. He was injured in a palace coup three years ago and died a year after taking off.

The eldest son of the princess mansion also lost a leg three years ago, and the second son of their family, by His Majesty's grace, is going to participate in the selection of guards.

Ma Ye of Ronghui County died under random arrows three years ago, and the eldest son of their family also took part in the examination of Ouchi Guard this time.

There is also the eldest son and eldest daughter of the abolished prince. On this year's Longevity Festival, His Majesty canonized the eldest son of the abolished prince as Yizhong County King, and his daughter as Rongchang County Lord. She was married to Shi Guangli, the second son of the Duke of Shi's Shi family. "

Shi Mei knew all these news.

Of course, the Northern Princess Tetti proposed, are these people going to target the Rong Mansion?

Shi Mei asked: "Where did the princess get the news?"

Princess Bei said: "It was my lord's special confession to tell the chief son of your mansion to be more vigilant when hunting, so as not to fall into the way of the wicked."

When Shi Mei heard this, she realized something.

These people suffered a loss three years ago, they did not dare to resent His Majesty and the abolished Crown Prince, and shamelessly vented their anger on Rongfu.

Mrs. Zhang and Jia Min panicked: "Mother, I need to inform my husband (brother) quickly!"

It is a pity that at this time, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and some honorable children who came to apply for the exam were accompanying the emperor.

Who dares to find someone in front of the emperor?

Furthermore, Shi Mei was not worried.

Jia She is a monkey spirit, he lived to be beard and hair white without martial arts.

Now that he possesses unique skills, he is still afraid of being plotted by others?

Is Rongfu really a soft persimmon?

Who can't make trouble!
