Red Chamber misrepresentation
Chapter 23
Jia She was talking enthusiastically.
Zi Xin blinked her eyes, frowned with some curiosity, and pushed Jia She away pretending to be disgusted, "Go and wash, don't eat dirty."
Jia She glanced around, and saw a few side dishes on the kang table: goose palms, stewed elbow with ham, roasted pheasant with chestnuts, and a few fresh green vegetables, and a soup with shrimp balls and chicken skin. This pot of flower wine is still warm on the table.With a hint of aura in the faint aroma of wine, Jia She said with a smile,
"Since when did you fall in love with brewing?"
Zi Xin spread her hands sideways, and shook her head helplessly, "Your lady, I have nothing to do, why don't you find something to do? I came across a book on wine making after sorting out ancient books these days. The materials were replaced by Linggu , the spirit grass has a miraculous effect. Alas, there are always some disturbances in the past three days, so I don't want to take good care of it."
Jia Amnesty smiled and shook his head, looking at Zi Xin's naughty appearance, and unconsciously reached out to stroke Zi Xin's hair, "Miss, it's hard work. I'll be free tomorrow for my husband. You and I have wasted some time, and we must meet tonight." Practice hard."
Zi Xin gave Jia She a white look, and drove him back to the clean room to freshen up.When Jia Amnesty entered the door again, he had already changed into a moon-white robe, his long hair was loosely tied behind his head, and he was full of laziness.Jia She didn't sit down in his seat when he entered the door, but sat down on Zixin's kang bed instead.He stretched his arms around Zi Xin's waist, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled in her ear,
"It's really comfortable to live like this. I really don't want to care about the outside things! Just holding you like this for a lifetime is enough."
Zi Xin raised her hand to touch Jia She's soft long hair, she just turned her head to say something, but Jia She's kiss sealed her lips.Lips and teeth met, Zi Xin vaguely felt that Jia She was a little different today, he didn't know what happened to him outside, but he cooperated very much and responded with just the right enthusiasm.After a long time, the two finally stopped, looked at each other with a smile, added wine to each other, and chatted.
"By the way, what exactly is the new thing you just said?"
Hearing this, Jia She laughed loudly, leaned back, and fell on the brocade quilt.Zi Xin frowned and squinted, and when Jia She finally had enough of laughing, she straightened up and lightly pecked Zi Xin's tender cheeks, and said slowly, "The matter will start three days ago..."
It turned out that three days ago, when Jia Daishan reconciled the accounts, he found that the accounts of the Zhuangzi in the suburbs were incorrect, so he sent Jia Amnesty to check.That Jia Amnesty went out early in the morning, and it was already two quarters you when he returned home, and the sky was getting dark.When I walked to Dongmen Street, I saw Jia Zheng walking with an umbrella. Naturally, I stopped and asked Jia Zheng to come up.
Although Jia Zheng usually looked down on Jia Amnesty, he would not refuse when the time came.The snow is getting bigger and bigger, densely packed.The carriage moved forward slowly, and the candles in the carriage flickered.Jia Amnesty held the teacup and drank tea to himself, ignoring Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng didn't like this overly good-looking brother since he was a child.The difference between the two is only more than one year old, so it is natural that they cannot be compared.He didn't understand why his elder brother was more likable than him in every way even though he was better at reading.
Seeing Jia She's leisurely and contented appearance, Jia Zheng was slightly annoyed, and unconsciously said,
"Brother, there are some things that I shouldn't say as a younger brother. It's just..."
Jia Amnesty put down his teacup, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, a pair of peach blossoms swept across Jia Zheng, and said with a smile: "Since the second brother knows what he shouldn't say, why bother to say it again."
"There is a saying in the ancients that loyal words are harsh to the ear. Today, my brother is not in accordance with the etiquette, and the loyal words are harsh to the ear. I will not say anything serious. I think my brother still remembers the rules of disciples. The orders of parents cannot be shirked, let alone violated. Now what does my brother plan to do?" When will you give Aunt Liu a title?"
Jia Zheng raised his chin, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and patted it on the Kang table, with a smug look on his face,
"This is my Aunt Zhou's letter of appointment. The yamen will be sealed in a few days. I think my eldest brother will do it tomorrow when he finds time."
"Thank you brother for pointing it out. However, there are still some things I don't understand, so please enlighten me." Jia She lowered his long eyelashes halfway, picked up the teacup, and concealed his impulsive laughter in the teacup.
When Jia Zheng heard this, his face straightened up a bit, his voice was cold, and he just uttered two words, "Let's ask."
Jia Amnesty put down the teacup, turned the corner of his mouth upwards so as to see the arc, and chuckled lightly.
"My mother said it was my aunt when I gave it to you. But the aunts are also classified into different classes. Because of my father, there is no reference example in our house. But Brother Jing in the Ning Mansion has such an example to follow. Look at that day's house again, Concubine promotion also pays attention to meritorious service and pregnancy. I don’t know if your aunt Zhou is pregnant now? If so, I, as an older brother, congratulate you.”
Jia Zheng's face turned pale. Aunt Zhou just accepted it for seven or eight days, so how could she be pregnant?Naturally, he thought of Huo'er who was kicked out of the mansion before he passed the enlightenment path, and his own son who died before he was born.He looked at Jia She even more unkindly.
Regardless of Jia Zheng's expression, Jia Amnesty continued to ask with a smile,
"Regardless of the family rules of the Ning Mansion, my father did mention that although my Jia Mansion doesn't care about the anonymous housekeeper girl, if it sounds nice, I can give her the name of an aunt. But in the end, above the law, still It's the girl's name. Now my younger brother is rushing to report to the Yamen to give that aunt Zhou a name, so I think my younger brother really likes that aunt Zhou. This is really gratifying."
Jia Zheng's face was almost drained of color, and his lips began to tremble.Although there is no family precept in Jia's mansion that one can only take concubines when one is childless, it depends on the father's life, not to mention the aunt, and he doesn't even have a housekeeper.Although Jia Amnesty was joking, his sharp words made him at a loss for what to do.Just as Jia She was about to continue to question, he felt the carriage stopped, and there was a whimpering and crying sound outside, small and soft, like a woman's voice.
Then, I only heard the helpless voice that followed He Shan,
"Girl, get up, it's cold, you have something to say, something to say."
"Woo woo woo, my family is desperate, and I hope the officials will save me."
When the woman's voice caught his ears, Jia She frowned, as if it brought back unbearable memories for him.When Jia Zheng saw Jia She like this, he was secretly happy. He lifted the curtain of the car, turned to Jia She and said, "Let's go down and have a look. If the horses and horses bump into people, don't ignore them. Let people say that I am waiting to bully others."
Jia Amnesty frowned, got out of the carriage and saw a woman in plain white kneeling in front of the carriage.It's winter, looking at the thin plain white filial piety, Jia Amnesty even suppressed his smile.The girl had a good birth, she was so pitiful and touching when she raised her hand to wipe her tears.Just look at the weather, this body, let alone a few hours.Just wait for a moment, there will never be such a color.He squinted his eyes and thought in his mind, who wants to bring this woman to his eyes.That Jia Zheng had already stepped forward quickly, helped the woman to walk down the corridor on the side of the street, took off his robe and put it on the woman.
"Young lady has something to say, so why stop a car in the street." Jia Zheng frowned, as if thinking of something, looked left and right, stepped back hastily, bent over and bowed, "I offended you, just now I saw you... ..."
The woman raised her eyes to look at Jia Zheng, and seemed to glance at Jia Amnesty again, sobbing reddishly,
"Young master, why do you need to be so polite? It's too late for the slave family to be grateful, so why did the son offend you? It's also a hard life for the slave family. When I was three or four years old, I lost my mother. Naturally, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. The slave family was killed at the age of five. He was sent to his adoptive father, and they depended on each other for life. The slave family really recognized him as their father.
Dad is a craftsman, and he is good at playing the huqin.The slave's family learned to sing songs from their father, and made a living by performing arts, so they could get by.A few years ago, there was a flood in my hometown, and everyone couldn't survive. My father had no choice but to take my slave's family all the way north to the capital.I don't want to, Dad couldn't afford to be sick a few days ago, and he will die immediately today.The innkeeper thought it was bad luck and kicked out the slave family.Now...now..."
Jia Amnesty looked at the girl's behavior amusedly, and then looked at Jia Zheng, only to see his clenched fists filled with righteous indignation, his eyes signaled He Shan not to talk, just watch the show.
Sure enough, Jia Zheng stepped forward and cupped his hands, untied the money bag and handed it over, and said,
"Miss, I'm sorry, but there are some taels of silver. There are 50 taels of silver in this purse, and there are 20 taels of silver. Although it is not much, it can still let your father be buried. The Chinese New Year is coming, and the girl is probably... ..."
The woman knelt down in front of Jia Zheng with a plop, and kowtowed repeatedly, "I don't know how to thank you for your great kindness. Today, the son saved the slave's family from the fire and water, and the slave's family is the son of the son. The original intention of the slave's family is to sell oneself to bury the father. Now, now..."
Jia Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help the girl up, and the girl fell into Jia Zheng's arms. Wherever Jia Zheng passed by, he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't have the slightest intention of asking for help from Jia Zheng.Jia Amnesty waved his hand, got into the car by himself, ordered He Shan to drive back, and ignored the follow-up matter.
Zi Xin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and unconsciously blurted out, "Is that woman's surname Bai?"
Jia She raised his eyebrows, took a sip from his wine glass, and said with a chuckle, "Young lady's question is funny, is this woman in white surnamed Bai?"
Zi Xin blinked her eyes and laughed, "You don't know. In the world I lived in, there was a person who wrote stories, but he described similar stories. Isn't this a small world? I thought maybe it would merge. Then what happened?"
Jia Amnesty's eyes drifted to the wine glass, and Zi Xin immediately filled it up.Jia Amnesty gulped it down and continued:
"My younger brother is a very decent person. Naturally, he spent money and effort to bury the girl's adoptive father. When the girl saw her adoptive father buried in the earth, she was also called a slave. She kept filial piety for her father from day to year. Now the filial piety But, of course, I followed back home."
Zi Xin blinked, and asked in surprise, "Who arranged that for you?"
Jia She nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "As the saying goes, evil committed by heaven is still forgiven, but evil committed by oneself is not to be relived. I have already verified that this girl is from the second family, and her brother asked her to find her."
Zi Xin nodded, thinking of the triumphant sarcasm in her eyes when she met Wang Shi at Shi Shi's place these few days, she understood it immediately.Thinking of Wang's usual style, Zi Xin couldn't help laughing and said,
"I don't know, how is there a scene in the yard over there now?"
Zi Xin blinked her eyes, frowned with some curiosity, and pushed Jia She away pretending to be disgusted, "Go and wash, don't eat dirty."
Jia She glanced around, and saw a few side dishes on the kang table: goose palms, stewed elbow with ham, roasted pheasant with chestnuts, and a few fresh green vegetables, and a soup with shrimp balls and chicken skin.
