Red Chamber misrepresentation

He didn't mention how the other Zi Xin organized Jia's mansion, but said that the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng helped the coffin back to their hometown, and the journey was smooth, and they finally arrived before the auspicious day for the burial chosen by the Heavenly Master.Jia Daishan's grave has been repaired long ago, but it will be a different scene when he is buried on auspicious sunset.When the dust settled, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were not in a hurry to return to Beijing.Although they live in the same mansion, some of them go their own way and do not communicate with each other.

Jia She's coming to Jinling this time, naturally there are other things.This Jiangnan officialdom has complicated mistakes, in which officials and officials protect each other, and their interests are intertwined. Among them, the four major families in Jinling are headed by themselves, forming a force of their own.Therefore, Emperor Shunde wanted to support the Zhen family to contend with it.However, he was worried about Emperor Zhenjia Shunde.The principle of raising tigers is deeply rooted in Emperor Shunde's heart. The four kings and eight princes who followed Emperor Tianwu to conquer the world at the beginning were not loyal to Emperor Tianwu, but the inheritance has finally become a serious problem.Emperor Shunde did not want to repeat the same mistakes, so he began to deploy in many ways.

When the two returned home, Jia Amnesty refused to leave, and Jia Zheng did not want to leave either.Now he is at peace in his heart, since he knew that he was appointed an official and his father gave him a lot of property, he felt that he was superior to others, and he didn't take Jia She seriously.Now that he is wearing Zhan Shuai, it is not easy for him to walk around, but it does not prevent old friends from visiting.One year ago, Jia Zheng even failed the county examination, but now he has become an official.Even if there was a grievance in his heart, they were all polite on the surface, expressing the joy of reunion.

During the conversation, someone mentioned that the Earth Temple on the outskirts of Jinling now lives in a highly gifted scholar.Originally, there were three huts and several acres of Susukida.The old lady studied for him and finally sold all the fields.He also took the first place in the Zhengqi County Examination, and only waited for the prefectural examination.But he didn't want a fire to go to the three huts and his old mother's life.This old lady who didn't study much and sold her only homestead with a generous burial moved to the Earth Temple.

Jia Zheng couldn't sit still, so he asked the person who spoke to go and introduce him.Everyone was surprised but did not refuse.I don't want to mention how the scholars meet each other when I see them.This one has two, in Jinling more than half a year, funded four or five scholars.When the two returned to Beijing and Jia's mansion the next year, the second grandfather's reputation as a benevolent man had already spread far and wide.Then there were people who had no intention of taking the imperial examination, so they had to defect to Jia Zheng.Several people are also willing to go back to Beijing with Jia Zheng.

When Jia Zheng returned home, he brought back several Qing thieves.Wang gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.Naturally, Jia Amnesty would not embarrass Zixin, and personally mentioned the daily expenses of Qingke.Jia Zheng blushed, and the sidewalk expenses would be deducted from his income in the future.Moreover, he took the initiative to set up written evidence, and Jia Amnesty did not keep much after taking the written evidence.

So far, everyone in Jia's mansion has kept their filial piety with peace of mind, and they are all in peace.As the sun flies by, it is already September in the fourth year of Shunde.

Daqin mourning clothes are divided into five classes: Zhan Shuai, Qi Shuai, Great Gong, Xiao Gong, and Funma. These are called "five clothes".Because of the different distances of relatives, the funerals worn are different.Jia Daishan, who died in Jia's mansion for some reason, had to submit to three years of beheading. Although Jia's mother was in Qi decline, it was three years because of her husband's death.It's just that according to the custom, it doesn't take three years to mourn, but it takes 27 months.Seeing that it was time to get rid of clothes, Mother Jia invited Zixin to come to talk early in the morning.

September is the most comfortable time of the year in Beijing, where the air is crisp and clear.After hearing Jia Mu's invitation, Zi Xin didn't refuse, and went to Rong Guorong with her.Because the weather was fine, Zixin's carriage was only parked outside the Chuihua Gate, and could not go to Jiamu's yard.

The daughter-in-law who followed Zixin lowered her voice and asked, "Princess, what do you think this old lady is going to do to mobilize people like this? Whether it is Xiaoxiang Daxiang or the life sacrifice in the past two years. This item requires her to worry about it. Why did you think of this?"

Zi Xin rolled her eyes at the daughter-in-law, but didn't answer.The other person stepped forward and tapped the forehead of the person who was speaking, "You girl, you are still like a mother, and you follow Mama Qian, so you have learned a lot about your temper."

The one who spoke was none other than the girls from Zishen in the past, but now, except for Dongxue, they are all the sons of Zishen's assistant.As the mothers got older, they gradually handed things over to a few people.The mothers who had no children all recognized Chunyu as goddaughters, and now they can be regarded as children and grandchildren, enjoying their old age in peace.

"Sisters, it's better for you to say a few words less and save some energy." Seeing the laughter and joking of several people, Man Zhi couldn't help but said, she is 18 this year, and she looks very attractive.It's just a pair of brows that always like to frown together, looking like a bitter enemy.

While speaking, they had already arrived in front of Jia Mu's courtyard, and they suppressed their smiles, bowed their heads and followed Zi Xin into the courtyard.Jiamu's Courtyard is just behind the Rongxi Hall. It is not a big place, but it is extremely exquisite.When Zi Xin was familiar with it, she walked towards the main room and heard that Xiaohuan had passed the report.When she walked into the next room, Jia Mu half-closed her eyes, and the little girl recited the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra".

"You are here." Mother Jia smiled and pointed to sit aside, "You are tired, sit down quickly. Your sister Min brought me Nanbian black tea the day before yesterday. You should try it."

As soon as Jia's mother finished speaking, the little girl brought the teacup.Zi Xin took it with a smile, and took a sip of it politely.

"Mother is getting better and better today. I feel relieved when I look at it." As he spoke, two girls walked in outside, holding dark gold engraved silk fairy birthday wishes and dark red brocade in their hands. fabric.

Jia Mu looked at Zi Xin puzzled, but she smiled and said, "Mother, the husband has already prepared everything outside, and I have ordered the mansion to go down. Let's just look at the date, the [-]th of this month is a good day. Mother see..."

"Okay, you and the boss are worrying." Jia Mu nodded with a smile.

Zi Xin said again, "It's still half a month away. On the day of the clothes removal, I need to put on new clothes. In the past two years, I even neglected my mother's birthday in order to cut off the decline. That day I packed my things and wanted to make new clothes for Brother Chen. When I saw this horse, I thought it was prepared for my mother, so I brought it here."

Mother Jia nodded, did not refuse, and sighed softly, "I haven't seen Brother Chen these few days, I also wondered, if you are now the housekeeper, if you neglect Brother Chen, it is impossible to make my grandson wronged. Seeing In addition to serving, your family is even more busy. Why don't you bring brother Chen to me."

Zi Xin looked at Jia's mother with a happy smile, "Put brother Chen at mother's place, I'm naturally in the right direction, but it's the time for Chen'er to make a fuss, so I'm afraid it will disturb mother. Besides, Lord Hou is now Enlighten Chen'er."

"How old is Chen'er, why are you so confused! Good children are taught badly by you. When you are over five years old, it is not a good idea to invite your husband to teach at home. Besides, what can the boss teach!" Jiamu raised her eyebrows. He exclaimed in surprise.

Zi Xin blinked, and smiled even more, "Don't worry, mother, I'll go back to Master Hou."

Looking at Zi Xin, Jia's mother couldn't help feeling proud.Originally, it was understandable that my own grandmother wanted to take my brother to be raised by me.Over the past two years or so, she has seen Zi Xin's firm grip on Jia's mansion, and she has long been impatient. After finally giving in, she naturally wanted to take back her power.Back then, she had handed over the key to Jia's treasury and account book all at once. She thought Zi Xin would refuse, but she didn't want Zi Xin to be polite.When Jia Daishan's funeral was over, she didn't check the accounts of the past years, but instead of Qian's mother, several money ladies, and several mothers who were in charge of the accounts on weekdays, counted the treasury, re-entered the accounts one by one, and asked the mothers to sign and press their fingerprints handover.From then on, except for Jia Mu's office, which remained unchanged, everything else followed Zi Xin's new rules.Apart from her own one-third of the land, Jia's mother has no way to intervene now.Thinking of how to restrain Zi Xin in the future, I can't help feeling proud.

When Zixin returned to Zhiyuan in a small sedan chair, Jia She was teaching Jia Chen the method of breathing in Qingcangzhai.When Jia Chen saw Zi Xin came back, he ignored Jia Amnesty and happily rushed towards Zi Xin, "Mother, you are back!"

Zi Xin knelt down, took out the handkerchief and carefully wiped off Jia Chen's sweat, and said lightly, "Chen'er is tired, go to Mama Zhao's place quickly. Don't make Mama Zhao wait in a hurry."

When Jia Chen heard that there was something to eat, he immediately cheered and ran to the back room.Jia Amnesty didn't stop him, until Jia Chen disappeared, then smiled and shook his head at Zi Xin,

"Madam like this, is that the legendary loving mother who loses her son?"

There was no one around, the garden was full of trustworthy people, so Zi Xin gave Jia She a look without hesitation.Jia Chen has been tested long ago, and he can also cultivate.In the past, Jia Amnesty was also busy.This year I just got a free time, and since the beginning of the year, I have learned some basic formulas from Jia Chen.

Seeing Jia Amnesty's appearance, Zi Xin raised the corners of her mouth when she thought of what Jia's mother had done today, and said a few words lightly, "Mother wants Chen'er to be raised."

When Jia She heard this, his face changed drastically, "Is this about to start?"

"Whether it starts or not, Lord Hou has the final say now?" Zi Xin blinked at Jia She.

Jia She was devastated, it was understandable for this grandmother to keep her grandson by her side.But he was worried about sending his precious lump to Jia Mu.If there is something good or bad, even if Jia Mu pays for it, he is not willing.

"Okay, I'll go back and deal with it." Jia Amnesty looked at Zi Xin's teasing expression, and couldn't help reaching out to pinch her face, but Zi Xin blocked it.Jia Amnesty's eyes lit up, and he wanted to pull Zi Xin into the space, but he heard Jia Chen's voice,

"Father, mother, come and have some dim sum. Mother Zhao made my favorite mung bean cake."

The two looked at each other helplessly and smiled.Jia Amnesty took Zi Xin's hand and went to where Jia Chen was.

At this moment, the Rongguo Duke's Mansion separated by this wall and the Wang family in the courtyard are quite different.

Seeing that the clothes are about to be removed, Wang's thoughts can't help but come alive.Since Zixin took over the mansion, Wang's life has become sad.Although there is not much expense during the filial piety period, every time I want to add some food to Jia Zhu, the kitchen will record it in detail.In the past, although there were small kitchens everywhere, and there was not enough food in the public house, each family paid for it from their own pockets, but she assisted Jia Mu in managing affairs, so there was no such thing as paying for it out of pocket.This has been held back for a long time, just waiting for the source to breathe a bad breath.

"Second Madam, the two masters are here." A clear female voice sounded from outside, and as the curtain was lifted, two little boys dressed almost identically walked in.

Seeing the two of them, Mrs. Wang squinted her eyes, then smiled, opened her arms, and said softly, "Zhu'er, Ke'er, come to me."

Hearing this, the two children didn't show any excitement, but walked towards Mrs. Wang respectfully, and said in unison, "Greetings to Madam."

"Be good, be good," Wang said with a smile and ordered the two children to be carried onto the kang bed.It was obviously Douding who was three years old, but both of them had grown-up calmness on their faces.

"Did you eat well again today?" Although she was asking the two of them, Wang's eyes were on the slightly thinner one on the left.

"Return to my wife, we all had a good meal today. The elder brother ate an extra bowl, don't worry, my wife." It was the one on the right who answered.

Wang smiled and nodded, reached out and touched the head of the boy on the left, but said to the boy on the right, "Ke'er is working hard, you have to watch your elder brother eat well."

"Don't worry, ma'am, Ke'er will definitely watch the eldest brother eat well." The boy raised his chest and said with a high air.Mrs. Wang looked at it and nodded in satisfaction, then greeted the one who had been silent all this time.

The difference between Jia Zhu and Jia Ke was only three days.Since the day I was born, it is inevitable to be compared.Because Jia Zhu was born by Wang's family, although Wang's took good care of her, she seems to be fine now, but she is not talkative.Not at all likable and articulate like Jia Ke.

Although Jia Zheng was about to take office in the Ministry of Industry, he felt somewhat regretful that he did not come from a serious imperial examination background.He has never passed the county test, and he feels that he is not a talent for reading, but after hanging around with the Qingke for a while, he only feels that although he is well-educated, his luck is not good, so he wants to train his two sons to be the number one scholar. .And seeing Jia She indulged in Jia Chen, since the beginning of the year, he has taught the two elder brothers homework in person.Jia Ke was eloquent, and Jia Zheng was always satisfied with random checks and endorsements.Jia Zhu didn't like to talk, even though she endorsed the book without mistakes, she was not as likable as Jia Ke.

And because of Jia Daishan's last act, Jia Zheng felt ashamed in his heart for more than two years, but he sincerely mourned.Being with Aunt Zhou is just a sweetheart, and there are occasional intimacies but never surpassed.The Wang family can abide by the rules, but Jia Zheng suspects that they have different writing styles, so the two really meet each other like guests.In this way, Jia Zheng even paid more attention to Jia Ke.

Seeing the clue, Wang said to Jia Zheng that if the buddies want to start enlightenment, it is better to live together, so that they will not be separated from each other.Jia Zheng was naturally so happy, and praised Wang again.Aunt Zhou didn't cry, she packed up Jia Ke's useful clothes and sent them to Jia Zhu's East Chamber.Seeing that Aunt Zhou was so obedient, she didn't feel like having a fit, but she just ordered her to go down and take care of the two masters.The subordinates dare not be negligent, although on the surface they are both the same, but in private they often talk about the difference between concubine and concubine as the law of the Great Qin Dynasty, please Jia Ke understand.

Jia Ke smiled and nodded, saying that she knew that she and Jia Zhu were very different in status.In this way, despite Mrs. Wang's order, it hurts a little bit in the eyes of others to see that a little child is so sensible.As long as they are not too superficial, they are all willing to take care of them a little bit more.Jia Zhu stayed behind.Naturally, Mrs. Wang doesn't know the details, and she is very satisfied when she looks at it.

The next day, Jia Amnesty went back to Jia's mother, saying that it was a matter of raising his brother and son, and he would wait until his father got rid of the obedience.Jia Amnesty is not that weak and incompetent, but now he is also a Marquis, so it is not good to push him too hard.On the [-]th of September, Jia's mansion was just getting rid of obedience and filial piety, the next day.Jia Amnesty then ordered that all the three elder brothers in the mansion be sent to Jia Mu, saying that Jia Mu loves Chen brother very much, but she can't forget that there are two grandchildren.

When Jia Zhengchu heard the news, he couldn't help feeling resentful, feeling that Jia Chen was the only one in Jia's mother's heart now, and ignored Wang's objection, and sent Jia Zhu and Jia Ke together earlier.Zixin immediately ordered someone to send the monthly silver of the three children and their nanny to Jiamu.He also said that Jia Chen occasionally felt unwell these few days, and he was afraid that he would pass on his illness to his second brother and younger brother.Jia Mu fell back angrily, but there was nothing she could do.
