Red Chamber misrepresentation

It was night, when Jia Zheng returned to Su Muxuan, it was rare for him to go to the Wang family's house. The Wang family had already packed up early in the morning, since Jia Zheng would of course come to inquire about the news today.Mrs. Wang was wearing a blue homely shirt, and her hair was tied up in a random emerald green jade hairpin, with ornaments on her ears. Seeing Jia Zheng in a good mood, and his favorite dishes on the table were even more so. pleasure.The two ate together, and then sat on the kang table. Jia Zheng then said,

"How is today? When I greeted you, my mother praised you very much, saying that you are virtuous, and that lady is very nice? If not, I will ask my uncle to invite a few girls. Go. Yuanchun entered the official school and accompanied several princesses, and now that the princess is getting married, we have to plan for her. Fang is the right way."

"What the master said is very true. It's just that female teachers are hard to find, and the status of the three young girls is not enough to enter the girls' school. Originally, there was a place for Jia Ying if she didn't enter the girls' school, but the three daughters are good. Not good, I want them to be born. Master, I don’t study much, so I can’t tell whether a female gentleman is good or not, but the purses I gave to a few girls are beautifully embroidered. I think it’s very good to be above needlework.”

Mrs. Wang poured tea for Jia Zheng, poured a cup herself, took a sip, sighed softly and said,

"I thought it would be great if Daiyu could live here. Our place is not far from Hanshu's residence, so it's convenient to take care of her, but my sister threatened not to allow Daiyu to live in."

Jia Zheng thought that in the past, Jia Min seemed to be only intimate with Jia She, and he and the two of the three siblings were not as tall as he imagined.Everyone in the Rongkanghou Mansion knew that Jia's mother and the second son lived in the old house, and Zhiyuan was the residence of the Marquis and the princess. Thinking of Jia Min's arrangement, Jia Zheng became even more angry. .If he hadn't looked at the female gentleman, it wouldn't be convenient for him to inquire. He had already arranged it on his own, and he would never take the slightest bit of honor from Jia Amnesty and Jia Min.Thinking about it, Jia Zheng remembered something again, and said seriously,

"Although the three sons in the family are already eighteen, you don't have to worry about discussing relatives. I want to let them go back to their hometown this year. Although Jia Ke and Jia Qiong are not your own, they have treated you with respect and respect over the years. They have achieved something. Although they are not the sons-in-law, it is not good to neglect their marriage. It is up to me to see which one is suitable for you."

Wang Shi smiled slightly, but inside she was very angry.It is obvious that Jia Zhu is the first son, but in Jia Zheng's mind, it seems that there is only the second son born by Aunt Jia Zhou.Thinking of her was even more furious, so he had to read a few formulas before laughing,

"What the master said is very true. I will definitely go back and try my best to see the girl's family. It's just that Jia Qiong is still three years younger. There is no rush. Master, after all, Zhu'er is the son of the legitimate son. He is also the elder brother. Only his marriage is decent. Yes, the following brothers are the only ones who can find a good family. Does the master have someone who is satisfied? I also want to send someone to find out."

Jia Zheng's face showed surprise, thinking of the dull eldest son Jia Zhu, and thinking of the witty and lovable second son Jia Ke, he wished they could switch identities.It's just that Wang Shi didn't say much again, he just said,

"Naturally, my uncle mentioned to me about the daughter of Li Shouzhong, the Imperial College's sacrificial wine. I just watched it. The day before yesterday, I talked about it with Mr. Li. No mistake, I went back to my mother to make a decision. There is no need to wait for Lord Hou. Although we are still under the same roof, we are in the same order. Since we have already lived our own lives, there is no need to ask where the marriage is. We can figure it out on our own. Well, the left and right are also set up in this mansion. You can see which courtyard is better, and just tidy it up."

Mrs. Wang has been here for a long time. Mrs. Wang Ziteng ventilated, with a happy expression on her face, she nodded,

"I'm not in the mood to get married early. They're just the right age, so I'm not in a hurry. I know Jia Ke is good, but I don't know what kind of daughter he prefers. My family carries Yuanchun, Yingchun is obedient, and Tanchun is smart. Xichun, but everyone has their own merits. I don't know about Jia Kexi's younger sister."

Jia Zheng pulled his face down in a huff, and his face immediately became ugly.

"What are you talking about? Marrying a wife is of course a good one. They will all be officials in the future, so why is it so frivolous to pick someone? I know that although my brother-in-law is good, Zhu'er comes first after all. I'll leave it at that." Here, if you attack Ke'er's marriage and pick someone who is not decent, I will certainly not agree. Forget it, just look at Zhu'er. Ke'er, Qiong'er, I'll just watch it myself."

As he spoke, Jia Zheng shook his sleeves and got up to leave, leaving only Wang in a daze.She stared blankly at the steaming teacup. All these years, she didn't ask for the friendship between husband and wife, but for her own face.She will naturally fight for what she wants, but she doesn't want Jia Zheng to be so generous and talk to her like this.Thinking of the dull and taciturn eldest son again, his mood hit rock bottom.She never forced him to do anything these years, because she always remembered the books she had read, so Jia Zhu would definitely not die early.The husband is unreliable, and the only one who can rely on him is his own son.Thinking about it, she ordered someone to pack the tea fruit, and went out to the study.

After everyone in Jiamu's room had dinner, Zixin took Daiyu to leave and went back to Zhiyuan.Mother Jia wanted to keep Daiyu, but she swallowed her words when she saw Daiyu's mother and girl following her.Sanchun went back to their houses and Yuanchun also went back to his own yard, leaving only Baoyu with Jiamu.After Baoyu made a fuss, he became sleepy, he ate and drank when asked to eat, and now Xiren waited for him to wash and wash, and he lay blankly in the green gauze cupboard by himself, not saying a word .After washing, Jia Mu used to come in to see Baoyu. As soon as she saw him insane, she knew he was suffering from insanity again. But she didn't know what she was asking for this time, so she sat down beside the bed with the help of the parrot .

"Baoyu, what's the matter, this is what I want to say to my ancestors."

"Old ancestor," Baoyu threw himself into Jia Mu's arms, and seeing that the parrot was really good-looking, he said with a smile on his face, "it's the old ancestor who loves me, and brought the parrot and sister to see me."

"It's so stupid, you are my lifeblood, mine is yours, and there are those who don't love you!" Jia Mu stretched out her hand to touch Baoyu's face pitifully, and seeing that he didn't bring the piece of treasure, she rushed at him. The man asked, "Brother made a fuss today, and I didn't take a closer look. Is Yu all right?"

Xiren immediately took out the jade wrapped in silk cloth from under Baoyu's pillow and handed it to Jia Mu. Jia Mu looked carefully and it was not damaged at all, so she was relieved and said to Baoyu,

"Silly brother, why do you have to smash something of extraordinary origin at every turn. You are as extraordinary as jade. Remember next time, don't throw it away at will. This is your lifeblood, you are old and old If you have something good or bad about the lifeblood of your ancestors, you will really kill your ancestors."

Baoyu pouted, rubbed against Jiamu's arms again, and said softly, "Old Ancestor, you are the best. Baoyu can't sleep today, but she is thinking about Sister Lin. Call her to come with me. "

"My good brother, don't talk nonsense, this Lin family is the most respectful of rules. You are not that three-year-old child, how can you sleep with Miss Lin. If you find out about it, you will definitely pick it up immediately. She went back." Jiamu didn't say a word, but Parrot helped Jiamu pinch her shoulders, and said, "Old lady, I think my aunt knows that Baoyu is in front of you. And my aunt is a well-behaved person, brother Although Miss Er is young, she is not immature. Don't take it to heart."

Jia Mu felt a little relieved, patted Jia's hand, and didn't answer, but turned to Baoyu and asked,

"Can you really like Sister Lin?"

Baoyu nodded immediately, "Of course I like it. There are many younger sisters in the family. The uncle's family also has younger sister Ying'er and younger sister Xiangyun, but Baoyu really likes younger sister Lin. I feel like I've seen her before."

"Okay, okay!" Jia's mother was very comforted, "You like it, it must be important. Your uncle is a high-ranking official, and he is very good at reading. He is Tanhualang. If you like your sister Lin and want to marry her in the future, you must marry her." Study hard. You have also met a few brothers of the Lin family, which ones are not good at studying, and your father always praises them after the school exam."

"Why do you want to study? Isn't it good for my sisters and sisters and sister Lin to accompany our ancestors like this? I'm just a man who studies, so why should my sisters also study? There are so many books to read." Baoyu didn't care, Thinking of his father's appearance when he was taking the exams for his three elder brothers, he felt lingering fear, and said, "Ancestor, Baoyu doesn't want to study, don't want to be an official, just stay with the ancestor every day."

"Speaking nonsense." Saying this in his mouth, but his heart is sweet, and he doesn't care about this big business, "Reading is for the sake of understanding, you can't just be blind."

"I am literate, and my elder sister taught me a lot. It's just grandma, can I not go to home school? I don't want to go to school." Baoyu shrank his neck thinking of Jia Zheng, "The elder brother also taught me, and the elder sister also taught me. Teach me, I have read the three-character gold, thousand-character prose, and the Book of Songs is enough!"

Seeing Baoyu's small appearance with a smile, Jia's mother was very happy from the bottom of her heart, and couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if Daiyu was here at this time.

Daiyu, who was cared by Jia's mother, had just finished washing at this time, and she sat opposite Jia Ying and the two of them, palm to palm and began to practice kung fu.After a week, the two let go of their hands, looked at each other and smiled, and lay down side by side.

"Sister Daiyu, I'm really sorry today. I promised to take you in the car, but the mother of the ancestors insisted that you take a sedan chair. What's so good about the sedan chair? It's boring to be alone. It's a long way from the pier to here. It's a long way!"

Daiyu let out a deep breath, also sighing,

"Grandma's kindness, I don't want to let it down. Fortunately, my mother had the foresight and decided to let me live here. If I lived there, I don't know how to practice. My mother said that this matter should be done quietly. Don't let other people see it. It's really strange, why brothers can practice openly and aboveboard, but I have to sneak around."

Jia Ying got up and spread her hands, with a helpless expression on her face, "I don't know why my aunt is so careful, we have always been here without restraint. Sister, you are so powerful and smarter than me. What I taught you today is what I learned before." It's been a long time, but you will understand after a while. My sister's qualifications are indeed better than mine."

Daiyu also got up and said with a smile, "I also learned some fur from my brother before. It is interesting that you teach me these things. This qi travels in the body, and it is warm wherever it goes. This way I will not be afraid of it." It’s winter in the capital, Brother Yue said, it’s getting cold in the capital. Now I’m not afraid anymore.”

"Sister, don't be afraid. This house is full of charcoal in winter. My sister was born in the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know that it is cold and snowy but beautiful here. When it snows heavily, we will have a snowball fight with my younger brother. We will bully him together. Hee hee!" Jia Ying said that she seemed to have beaten Jia Luo with Daiyu to the point where she was powerless to fight back.

Daiyu didn't answer, but thought of Baoyu in Jia's mother's room today, and asked curiously, "The younger sister in the ancestor's room today talked very interestingly. Is it like this on weekdays?"

Jia Ying blinked her eyes and realized that she was asking about Tanchun, so she smiled and said, "Sister, I don't know. Sister Tanchun is usually good at speaking, but she likes my ancestors and my aunt. I don't know why my aunt There are so many older sisters who were not born to my aunt. Sister Yuanchun doesn't talk much today, and she just preaches when she catches me."

When Daiyu heard this, she seemed to understand, she said, "I don't really understand. It's just that when I was in Yangzhou, I often went to visit other people's homes, but I heard about daughters and concubines, sons and sons. I'll go home and ask." Mother, mother said, a husband is matched with a wife, but there can be multiple concubines, and the children born to the wife are called the main wife.

"I know that!" Jia Ying interrupted Daiyu with a smile, "When I was young, I didn't understand why there were so many aunts in my uncle's house, and my mother also said the same thing, and said that my father had many aunts in the past, and they were all given by the ancestors. Yes, I asked if it was because my ancestors loved my father and gave it to many people. Before my mother finished speaking, my father threw me up and taught me a lesson. Anyway, my aunt is not a good thing. Although my ancestors gave it to me, my father still No. So now my mother is the only father, and the children are all born to my mother. Uncle likes people bestowed by the ancestors, so the brothers and sisters on the other end are not all mothers. Oh. It should be said that they are not all mothers. He also said that Daddy only likes mother, and only our younger brothers and sisters who don’t have aunts or other lives.”

Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "My father also said that he only likes my mother and only us, so there are no other aunts!"

"Sister, you don't know that our ancestors like to give gifts to their fathers, uncles and aunts." Jia Ying leaned into Daiyu's ear mysteriously, "I don't know if the ancestors gave them to their aunts or not. Always laughing at my father, my father threw me outside, let other people serve me, and my mother went to practice by myself. I don’t know what kind of exercises they practice.”

Daiyu blinked her eyes, but stopped when she wanted to say something, but Jia Ying suddenly patted her head, and said solemnly,

"Good sister, did you see that fourth cousin Baoyu today? Next time, we have to stay away from him. He is always weird and likes to play with his cousins, and sometimes he insists on pulling me Together. I saw him eat the rouge from his elder sister's sister several times. The mother who served him was far away, and only the beautiful sister served him close. I also heard him say that he only likes his daughter's house. I asked Lian's second elder brother, my elder brother said that he must not eat the rouge from my mouth in the future. He also said that my daughter's family is the most precious, so Baoyu should not be frivolous. The rouge from my daughter's mouth can only be eaten by my future husband-in-law. I see that Baoyu will have many aunts in the future."

Daiyu opened her eyes wide in surprise, and asked, "Eat rouge directly? The ancestors also know?"

Jia Ying shook her head, and said bluntly, "I don't know about that, anyway, I've seen it many times. Those sisters are still smiling! My second brother Lian said that these girls are not good."

Daiyu nodded, patted her chest, and immediately made a decision, she had already decided to stay more than three feet away from Baoyu.

Qing Cang Zhai in the Zhi Garden, Zi Xin washed off the fatigue of the day, and left the clean room in her middle clothes and long hair.Followed by Jia She with a lazy expression, the two stood together by the window wearing the same color jacket, looking out, although today is not the fifteenth day, it is still a full moon.It's almost the beginning of summer, and the garden is full of flowers, Zi Xin closed her eyes comfortably, took a deep breath, Jia She hugged her from behind, and sniffed her hair.

"Are you tired today? Have you made all the arrangements? Take Sanchun over there to live here, are you okay?"

Zixin leaned comfortably on Jia She, and shook her head, "Of course I'm not afraid, the three of us live far away from Zhuxuan's sister, so naturally we won't disturb Daiyu and Ying'er. Regardless of the previous matter, the girls are not afraid. Ding Ding is interesting. The daughters taught by Aunt Zhou are more interesting than Aunt Zhao. I don’t know what will happen to them in the hands of Mrs. Wang. It would be the best if they can change their fate.”

"You don't have to worry about that, I think it's going to be a newcomer soon." Jia Amnesty hugged Zi Xin and looked at the moonlight outside, thinking of today's long queue, things from the past flooded into his heart, hugged Zi Xin Xin used a little force without realizing it.

Zi Xin sensed that something was wrong with Jia She, but the two of them had been connected for a long time, and after thinking about it for a while, she already understood that she quietly turned around and hugged Jia She's waist, and pressed her face against his chest,

"Why do you need to think too much, everything is in the past, now I'm fine, you're fine, and the children are fine."

Jia She sighed softly, but his eyes were moist, "That's true."

"By the way, you said that there will be another addition over there. I really can't figure out why there is another younger sister!" Zi Xin raised her head, changed the subject, and asked, "But the Xue family also wants Entering Beijing? But now, the Xue family naturally has its own residence. How can it be called adding people?"

Jia Amnesty looked at Zi Xin's appearance, smiled lightly and raised his hand to pat her forehead, "Young lady, I don't know how old the years are. How old is my family's Chen'er? How old are Jia Zhu and Jia Ke?"

Zi Xin's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but smile, "No way, the other side is getting married? But she is the daughter of the Imperial College offering wine! Then... Mrs. Wang still doesn't know about your appointment with her husband? Old lady We won’t be asking for help here!”

Jia She shrugged helplessly, "I'm afraid it's just like what the lady said."

Zi Xin giggled, with a naughty look in her eyes, "Since I already have the account books again, I'm not afraid of working a little harder, but is it really okay to cheat them like this?"

Jia Amnesty stretched out his hand and scratched Zixin's nose, "You look very happy."

"Of course I'm happy. I haven't done anything for a long time. How can I miss such a lively event. I don't know where the Xue family is now." Zi Xin pulled Jia She's hand away, and buried her face in it again. in his arms.

Jia She caressed her carefully long hair, with a look of murder flashing in her eyes, and said calmly, "Of course it will be soon."

The next day, Zi Xin felt that she was about to become that speech-skill, but she just talked to Jia She the night before, and on the second day, Aunt Xue brought Xue Baochai into the mansion to meet her.This made her smile wryly, but the Xue family didn't hand over the name card, and went directly to Wang's.

At Jiamu's place, Zixin watched Jiamu pull Xue Baochai to look left and right, and kept praising her. Looking at Xue Wangshi, she was puzzled by the difference in appearance between the two Wang family sisters.But I heard Jiamu sigh,

"It's really a coincidence that my aunt came here. Yesterday, the girls just paid homage to their masters and entered the boudoir school. At this time, they are in class and it is not easy to disturb. Baoyu is also studying with his elder brother. It will take some time. "

"It's okay, it's okay," Xue Wang waved his hands repeatedly, "It's also my fault that I didn't say hello in advance. We also entered Beijing the day before yesterday, so we settled down properly. I can't take care of it anymore. I came to see my sister. It's been so many years since we left. I was reckless."

"My relatives, what are you talking about being reckless? From now on, my aunt will also live in this capital, so she can come here whenever she wants, and she doesn't have to care about those empty etiquettes. Looking at the dignified etiquette, Bao Yatou looks a bit like her big sister. After all, she is a cousin!" Jia Mu pulled Baochai, and looked at Yuan Chun who was sitting silently on the other side, her eyes were full of admiration.

Aunt Xue is so smart, words of praise cannonball from her mouth.Zi Xin just watched coldly, feeling even more amused.The Wang family didn't know how to teach their daughter to have these two completely different people.

"Princess Mistress," Xue Baochai suddenly walked up to Zixin, and bowed Yingying, "Baochai has a merciless request. I also hope that Princess Mistress will fulfill it."

Zixin's hair was full of black lines, and she still kept a warm smile on her face when she pulled Baochai up, "You don't have to be polite, just call me auntie. Whatever you want, just say it."

What could be going on, Zi Xin already guessed a little bit.Thinking that they have been taken in for three springs, it would be okay if there is another Xue Baochai at this time, and Zhiyuan at the other end is comparable to Grand View Garden.Sure enough, according to Baochai,

"Baochai is dedicated to learning, can I also study with you?"
