The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber

Let's say that Jia's mother felt frustrated just looking at Mrs. Wang in front of her, but when she thought about the rest of the family, she also felt discouraged.

Li Wan's spring greetings are all like wood, and they can't be poked.Xichun is even more indifferent, at a young age, she hangs out with a few aunts every day.

He also said that he wanted to become a monk and practice together with Miaoyu.Jia's mother is old, and she is very jealous of these things, and she is even more indifferent to Xichun.Thinking that she was a girl from Ningguo Mansion, he simply ignored her.

Only Tanchun still stands out.

Mother Jia didn't think that she hadn't raised these girls well, and she just let them chat and laugh in front of her every day to relieve their boredom.

He also studies in name, but he doesn't know what to do. As for the knowledge of those housekeepers and directors, he has never taught them at all.

So much so that Yingchun has reached the age of marriage, but she is still powerless, she can't even manage her own house well, let the nanny steal things and bully her, and she dare not speak.

Jia's mother is used to being an old lord, and never feels that she is wrong.

Instead, I only blame these girls for not being outstanding enough.

Su Ri only said: "The only ones who can make me happy are Baoyu and Yun girl."

He didn't care that the servants listened to these words, looked at her preferences, and even neglected the three decent girls of the Jia family.

At this moment, seeing that Mrs. Wang was still chattering, Mother Jia interrupted: "Yun Yatou has been back with her aunt for a few days, just make a note, and tomorrow I will send someone to Bowlinghou's Mansion to bring her back."

The smile on Mrs. Wang's face froze: "Ms. Shi is grown up now, and she is also a relative. I'm afraid it's not good to live with Baoyu in the garden every day."

Mother Jia gave her a sideways look: "Yun'er is still young, but Miss Xue is about 17 years old. If you delay, you won't find any good family."

Mrs. Wang: ...

Before the two of them had time to continue their fight, they saw Hu Po back and forth: "Second Master Bao is here to pay his respects."

Hearing the sound of boots, Baoyu walked in quickly. Seeing her mother, she seemed a little surprised, and first bowed respectfully: "Greetings to my wife."

Then he sat directly next to Jia Mu's couch, pulled Jia Mu and said coquettishly: "Old ancestor, why didn't you bring Sister Yun here?"

You can tell at a glance whether you are close or distant.

Mrs. Wang almost lost her temper and couldn't help but said, "Baoyu, how's your homework these days? Be careful and master beat you again!"

Baoyu had to get up and answer.

Mrs. Wang said again: "Your elder sister Bao is a little uncomfortable in winter, have you visited?"

Baoyu then said, "I went to Hengwu Courtyard to visit Sister Bao in the morning."

He got up early this morning and went to Hengwu Courtyard.Ying'er, who was born on the sidelines, stopped him outside, saying that the girl hadn't washed up yet.

Baoyu didn't care much, so he said, "I haven't washed up yet, so I just took advantage of the situation and saved myself the trouble of going back."

Yinger still refused to let him go, but pushed him outside.

Baoyu thought, "Sister Yun won't be so unfamiliar with me.Whenever I don't go out, she still combs and braids my hair.Sure enough, Sister Bao took a trip from the palace and added a lot of rules for nothing.

So I stood outside patiently for a while.

However, all these unhappiness disappeared when they saw Baochai.

Baochai fell ill due to body heat, her virtual fire rose, and her steamed cheeks were flushed.

Not only does she not look haggard, but her face is like a lotus, and her hair is full of clouds.

Seeing Baoyu, he smiled from the side of the mirror.Baoyu felt that his soul was floating on the spot, so he couldn't care less about dissatisfaction.

He hurriedly came forward to say hello, "My sister is safe." He smelled the cold fragrance on Baochai's body again, and it became more and more crisp.

Baochai saw that her temples were slightly loose in the mirror, so she raised her hand to lick it, the sleeve slipped off, revealing the string of red musk beads on her wrist that the imperial concubine rewarded her.

Her skin was extremely white, with a string of bright red beads like blood, making her skin more radiant than snow.

Baoyu is a person who loves beauties very much. When he sees them, he can't help being distracted and wants to get close to them.

But as soon as Baochai opened his mouth, he was immediately disillusioned.

"Thank you, Brother Bao, for your concern. I'm fine now. I heard that my uncle has finished his official duties and is often at home. Brother Bao should study well when he has free time, so as to comfort his parents. Don't say such nonsense like before."

"Although the poems are good, they are useless for the righteous way. Brother Bao can also do more stereotyped essays in his daily life. If he gets a good name in the serious examination, he can add brilliance to the empress's face."

Having stayed in the palace, Baochai understands best that the future of a woman in the palace is not only in love, but also in the family.

Otherwise, how could the empress be so stable? It can be said that she has a good natal family.

Therefore, even if Mrs. Wang didn't explain it, Baochai wanted to persuade Baoyu to go the right way, so that Guangzong Yaozu would bestow his wife and son in the future.

But Baoyu didn't care about these things. He just felt dirty when he heard about economics.

Looking at Baochai's eyes is like looking at those lambs who have gone astray, with disgust and pity at the same time.

Just being considerate of her being ill, she didn't leave directly, and after listening to a few words, she shook her hand and left.

Then he went straight to Jiamu's place, hoping that Jiamu would pick up Xiangyun.

After all, Xiangyun is a person who talks and laughs a lot. Although he is also advised to study and improve, the two of them always joke together a lot.

It's not like Baochai, it's like reading on the left face, making progress on the right face, and being an official is engraved wide and bold on the forehead.

It's just a pity for Baoyu that Sister Bao has such a character and appearance, but she is a common person.

Seeing this, Jia's mother patted Baoyu and said with a smile, "good boy, knowing that you and your sister Yun have always been in harmony, I will ask your wife to pick her up tomorrow."

Only then did Baoyu rejoice, and said again: "Exactly, since Sister Qin and others came, we haven't started a serious poetry club."

I couldn't help thinking of Daiyu again: "If sister Lin is still at home, I don't know how happy I am to see these sisters."

Mother Jia's smile eased: The Lin family is really determined. Even for such a big event as Yuanchun's concubine visiting relatives, the family bowed their heads and sent invitations first, but the father and daughter still refused to come.

Lin Ruhai would let his daughter have a good Lantern Festival unless he was insane, but instead of mixing with the concubine's family visit, he had to kowtow to Yuanchun with the Jia family.

Naturally, he refused on the spot, leaving no room for it.

Although Jia Mu was annoyed, she still left Daiyu the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden as a guest house. Even Xiangyun wanted to live, but she never agreed, so she pointed out another place for her.

But Daiyu still never came.

Now that Baoyu mentioned this, Jia's mother felt prickly.

But Baoyu was only thinking about how little sister Lin had lived in the past two years, so she pestered Jia's mother and said, "there are so many guests at home, isn't it true that sister Lin is not willing to honor me?"

It can be seen that the Rongguo Mansion has been far away from the center of power for a long time, and it is just arrogant.

The emperor in the palace was ill, and the winking officials and families were all keeping a low profile, for fear of being caught in the pigtails.

And the Rongguo Mansion is still bustling with relatives.

Not to mention Ningguo Mansion, there are even things like drinking and whoring/gambling together.

Mrs. Wang got angry seeing Baoyu like this, got up and left.

After going out, he said to Jin Chuan'er: "The Lin family is so ungrateful that they dare not even give the imperial concubine the golden face. There is no need to deal with it at all. The old lady actually reserved the best courtyard for Lin girl. Really. Old and confused."

Suddenly I saw everyone Lai coming in a hurry, with two unfamiliar women behind him.

When I saw Mrs. Wang, I hurriedly stopped and smiled to say hello.

Mrs. Wang asked what was the matter.

Although everyone who is Lai is Jia Mu's confidant, but because of Yuan Chun, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion now has to show face to Mrs. Wang.

So he didn't dare to hide it, so he said: "This is the servant of the Zhen family who stayed behind in the mansion in Beijing, and some people from outside brought things."

Then he quietly said to Mrs. Wang: "Master Zhen was dismissed for committing a crime. I heard that the sage Longyan was furious. Not only did he be transferred to Beijing to be punished, but he also wanted to confiscate his home. Fortunately, the old sage misses the past, so he forgives him this time." gone."

"However, their family was nervous, so they thought about leaving some valuables in the homes of relatives and friends, so as not to cause trouble in time, and there is no way out."

Mrs. Wang had never read or understood the law, so how could she know that this crime of harboring the criminal's property was a crime. When she heard that it belonged to the Zhen family in Jiangnan, her eyes lit up immediately.

The Zhen family is extremely wealthy, and they have been picked up four times alone, who else in the court has such a face and wealth?

So he said to everyone Lai: "The old lady is angry there, it is no good for you to touch it now."

He also showed a magnanimous look: "It's just that the Zhen family is old relatives after all, so it's not good to keep their family members waiting. If that's the case, let's ask someone to move the things to my Rongxi Hall first."

"Anyway, even if the old lady knows about it, she has to leave the matter to the master. Why don't we wait until we publish the brochure and show it to the old lady."

Lai's family didn't understand Mrs. Wang's thoughts, so they must get a fortune from it.

She also knew about Mrs. Wang's lending - how many boxes of cash did the Zhen family send, and Mrs. Wang would make a lot of money if she released the money.

If the Zhen family has nothing to do, come to ask for it, and just return the principal.

If something happens to the Zhen family, then I'm sorry, the principal will probably be surnamed Wang.

Everyone is sweating a little.

Although she is Jia Mu's confidant, Jia Mu is old after all, and Lai Da's family has been looking for a way out for a long time.

Now that this matter is called Mrs. Wang, if she doesn't allow it, she will definitely offend the biological mother of this noble concubine.

So everyone Lai made up his mind and simply sold it to Mrs. Wang as a favor, asking her to take the servants of Zhen's family away.

Here, Mother Jia didn't know that Mrs. Wang dared to hide the Zhen family's finances behind her back, but she just closed her eyes and rested here, and Yuanyang beat her legs for her.

For a while, I heard Jia Mu sigh: "The girls in our family looked good in the past, but the bigger they get, the worse they become."

How could Yuanyang dare to say anything wrong with the girls, she just smiled and said: "Madam, this is self-effacement. Who doesn't know that our girls are top-notch. Years ago, Mrs. Shan Guogong came to the house and praised our family. the girls?"

Mother Jia shook her head.

That day Mrs. Shan Guogong asked to see the girls in the family. Jia's mother thought about it, but she called Xiangyun and Xue's two girls to come forward, and the serious surnamed Jia was only called Tanchun.

Yuanyang continued: "Third Miss is now helping the wife with housekeeping, she is really outstanding in everything, everyone praises her for having ideas and careful heart, she is no worse than the Second Mistress back then."

Jia's mother said lightly: "Although the third girl is clever, she only wants to flatter the Wang family. Being filial in front of my old woman is just a matter of occasion."

"It's just like what happened to the Eldest Master a few days ago. I just knocked Mrs. Wang a few words, and the third girl hurried in to defend her. It shows her heart."

The mandarin ducks bowed their heads and remained silent.

Jia's mother said that it was just a few days ago that Jia Amnesty wanted to ask Yuanyang to be a concubine.

At that time, Mother Jia, besides scolding Mrs. Xing, also specially pointed at Mrs. Wang, saying: "You are always coaxing me, saying you are filial, but in fact you are plotting against me behind your back."

This is so serious that Mrs. Wang had no choice but to kneel down.

Who knows that Tan Chunben went out with Li Wan, and after hearing this outside the window, he ran back to persuade Jia's mother, saying that the uncle wanted to take a concubine, and how did the younger siblings know such words.

Jia's mother had no choice but to shut up and ask Wang to get up—or else, it would be her deliberately making things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

From then on, she knew that even though she was raised in front of her, Tanchun still only flattered the Wang family.

Just like Yuan Chun was raised in front of him when he was young, but he only turned to his biological mother, using Dragon Boat Festival rituals to express his support for the golden and jade marriage.

Mother Jia couldn't help but feel cold when she thought of this.

On the other hand, Baoyu, a child with a pure heart and a filial piety, loves him even more, so he is alienated from his mother, and always thinks about his grandmother first.

Just for this reason, Mother Jia didn't want Baoyu to marry a girl from Xue's family, and in the end she also separated from herself.

Just when the Rongguo Mansion saw each other over Baoyu's marriage, Shang Chanchan also welcomed the first lobbyist about her marriage in the Baoninghou Mansion.

The author has something to say: It’s good to have a knife hanging above your head like Jia’s without knowing the truth. Those who are ignorant are the happiest.

The emperor raised his hand to ask for a speech: I am sharpening my sword, I can't wait any longer.
