Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

Beijing has been very lively these days, after the matter of self-examination is approved, all concubines with well-established families will start construction to build Chongyu other courtyards, and invite the concubines from the family to return to the province.All of a sudden, earth and ashes were being thrown up in many places inside and outside the capital, and many shops were so happy that their mouths crooked.

This is just one thing, there is another draft that will start in early April, and now it is coming to an end.Every day, beautiful women from other places come to Beijing, and the whole capital is full of singing and swallowing.In addition, there are also door-to-door solicitors, and there is a continuous stream of people coming and going at the door of many powerful and noble people.

In Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia still keeps Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun around her, and orders her to teach her to make a good tune all day long.Teach me, I must never make a mistake like Yuan girl again.However, she did not ignore the matter of visiting relatives.

Jia She resigned from the title, and it has been more than half a year since the sect went out, but the matter of their title in the Rong Mansion has always been hanging there.Her political son was dismissed again, and she couldn't get the title, so Mother Jia was almost worried to death.

When she heard about Jia Huan a while ago, she was frightened for a few days at first, and then she thought about asking him to help his own father, but what happened? !How many days, I can't see or touch that kid, even if I want to pass a word, no one will take care of me.

Hmph, just a heartless, ungrateful, unfilial white-eyed wolf.

Fortunately, there is still the matter of visiting relatives at last. Let Yuan Chun come back in a glorious way, at least it can make the Rongguo Mansion show his face, and maybe make the Supreme Emperor or the Emperor think of Zheng'er's title.

Jia Mu always thought of it as soon as she thought it out, and she made up her mind to invite Yuan Chun back to the province, so she sent her maid to invite someone neatly.Jia Zheng and his wife couldn't escape, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and his son had to be invited, and... In the end, the old lady gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and decided to take advantage of Jia Amnesty and his son, so that they could also shine.

In Ningguo Mansion, Uncle Zhen sat on the chair and scratched his head, only a sad face remained on his face.

Seeing this, his wife, You Shi, couldn't help wondering: "Master, what's the matter? The old lady over there wants to discuss the matter of visiting relatives, how respectable it is, why do you look unhappy?" She was quite happy, but in fact, she had never met Jia Yuanchun at all, so she didn't worry about it at all.

Jia Zhen glanced sideways at You Shi, spat angrily, then sighed again: "If she is today's person, even if she is a little noble, I would beg her to leave the palace and return to the province. But she... well, But she climbed up to be the Supreme Emperor. If it was a few years ago, it would be worth it, but the current position is a bit... that, and I can still care about it. But after these few years, I have already settled down. Tsk, it is embarrassing."

Jia Zhen is naturally delighted that the family can have a concubine.When the Rong Mansion wanted to send Yuan Chun into the palace, their family also contributed.It's just that Jia Yuanchun has been in the palace for so many years, but he hasn't achieved much. Jia Zhen has already given up in disappointment, but he didn't expect...

She really climbed to the concubine position, but it's a pity that she is a concubine!

This time, in Jia Zhen's eyes, it became a "chicken rib".She does have a status, and I heard that she is very popular with the emperor, but... To put it bluntly, what can I hope for in the future with a sixty-seventy-year-old old man?

I'm afraid that in a few years, I will have to be a widow, and I won't even have a child.That's why the Supreme Emperor is still well, which makes him somewhat reluctant to let go, otherwise, he really doesn't care about such a concubine.

Now the old lady next door said that they want to discuss the matter of visiting relatives, what else can they discuss, but how to build the Chongyu other courtyard.After all, I just want them to pay for money and offer treasures.This, Jia Zhen is not willing.

"Go, ask if Yu Lu, who was sent to Uncle She's place, is back?" Jia Zhen paced the room with her hands behind her back, looking at the door from time to time, and then she couldn't help but ordered.He sent someone to see Jia Amnesty, and wanted to ask what this uncle meant.

While talking, she saw Yu Lu trotting over, and Jia Zhen hurriedly asked him without waiting for him to salute.The Rong Mansion was also in a hurry, and he himself was in a hurry to come up with an idea.

"Back to the old man, the old man over there said that he has already left the sect, and he can't handle the affairs here. He doesn't care about the benefits, and don't ask him for money. I also saw the old lady next door sent to invite him, but He didn't see the Elder Master at all, and was sent away by Lian's Second Mistress." Yu Lu was speechless inwardly, at least he could still see the Elder She, it was not easy.

Hearing this, Jia Zhen pondered for a while, waved Yu Lu away after a while, then stood up by herself and straightened her sleeves.Youshi hurried over to help him tidy up, and asked casually, "Master, do you have an idea?"

Uncle Zhen didn't answer, and went straight to Rongqingtang. When he arrived, Jia's mother, Jia Zheng and his wife were already waiting.It's just that the faces of the three of them are not very good-looking, thinking they are angry with someone.But when they saw Jia Zhen, they all turned to smile and greeted her.

"Old lady, you have a good idea." After Jia Mu and others explained the intention of building another courtyard, Jia Zhen said: "I don't think there is any need to choose another place, just use the land in the East Courtyard. If there is still Insufficient, Huifang Garden in my residence can also occupy a little bit, and the living water of Huifang Garden can also be used.”

Hearing what he said so bluntly, Jia Mu and others thought that he would definitely help him, so they couldn't help laughing.However, this is just a matter of occupying land, and Jia's mother quickly mentioned financial sponsorship again, wondering how much money he would add.

Who knows.This disappointed them.

When Jia's mother and others mentioned property, Jia Zhen either talked about him, or pushed back and forth, and finally said directly and sadly: "I'm really ashamed. Now the family is taking care of the whole family, and it's already stretched. I am so ashamed that I can't help the old lady and the master. I dare not stay for long, Jia Zhen will leave." After saying that, he bowed and left, and ran away.

When Jia Zhen came out, she made it clear that she wanted a place to provide, but if she wanted money, there was nothing.

With a sound of "snap", Mother Jia's old face flushed red, and she ruthlessly swept down the teacup in her hand.Although she never counted on the Ningfu family alone, Jia Zhen's actions were too embarrassing for her ancestors.He ran away at the mention of money, what did he want to do?Do you still think of her, the concubine?

"Well, what should I do?" Jia Zheng was also very annoyed, and even more at a loss.The old lady made it clear to him that the reason why Zou asked his wife to return to the province was for him to accept the title.But now the family's savings can't afford to build another courtyard, and the Ning Mansion next door doesn't plan to support it, so what should we do?

"Okay, go ahead, I'll discuss this matter with your wife." Mother Jia wants to talk to Mrs. Wang.He didn't want Jia Zheng to know about his private matters, so he sent him away.

The Second Master Zheng was also obedient, he just didn't want to worry about it, got up and left as soon as he heard it, and went back to the study to chat with Qing Ke.Mrs. Wang looked at the back silently, her eyes were full of anger and endless regret.Why did she marry such a waste!

Mother Jia was only pleased with her son's obedience, and when they were the only ones left in the room, she said, "Go talk to Mrs. Xue. She is busy with her son's affairs these days, and she doesn't see her all day long. By the way, talk to her." Discuss about the concubine's family visit. With the concubine in the palace, at least I can help Bao girl, can't I?"

Mrs. Wang understands that the old lady is playing with Xue's family.But Mrs. Wang didn't care, she was also thinking about that younger sister.Therefore, Mrs. Wang responded softly, and waited for Mother Jia to speak again, to see if she had any other ideas.

"In addition, there is the marriage of Baoyu and Daiyu. The two children are not too young, so it should be discussed and settled, what do you think?" Sure enough, Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang and said.She didn't intend to discuss this matter with Mrs. Wang, so she just threw it out.

Suddenly her eyes widened, Mrs. Wang stared at Jia Mu in disbelief.She didn't believe it, never believed that the old woman would treat her Baoyu like this.What an outstanding character Baoyu is, how can he take advantage of that little bitch of the Lin family.

"Old lady, do we have to reconsider Baoyu's marriage? Miss Lin... now that she has lost her parents and her mother, she is also weak, and she doesn't look like a good child. I don't know her marriage with Baoyu. I agree." Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes and said in a calm voice, "You should also think about Baoyu, at least you can't let him not even have a son in the future."

Back then when brother-in-law Lin hadn't passed away, she could barely accept Lin Daiyu, but now she is such an orphan, she would never accept such a daughter-in-law.

After hearing this, Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang, and said with a sneer, "I don't know if Daiyu will be able to give birth. I only know that she has a dowry of one hundred thousand taels or even two hundred thousand taels behind her, which will soon catch up with all the daughters of your Wang family." There is no need to discuss this matter again, Daiyu is definitely going to marry. Later, you ask Zhu’s daughter-in-law to go to Jia Amnesty’s and settle this matter with them.”

It wasn't that Jia's mother respected Jia She more, but that Lin Ruhai left her last words that day, her daughter's marriage must be counted only when Jia She agreed, and Lin Daiyu's dowry can only be used if Jia She agrees.

Mrs. Wang's expression was startled, but she immediately changed her expression, nodded meekly and said: "What the old lady said is, I will tell Lan'er his mother when I get back." That's right, what the old lady said was right, Lin Daiyu really wanted to Married, but... hum!

Mother Jia didn't say any more, she just glanced at Mrs. Wang quietly.Why couldn't she see what this woman meant, but she kept silent, she just didn't know whether to leave it alone for now, or she had already acquiesced.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was about to go out, Jia Mu suddenly raised her voice and said, "By the way, call me the Tan girl. I have something to say to her." Talk too much.

She didn't know what the old woman's intentions were, but she also knew that she couldn't ask Mother Jia, so she might as well wait for the girl to come out before asking her.It's just a little bastard from a concubine, and I dare not hide it from her aunt.

About an hour later, a carriage drove out of the Rongguo Mansion, and slowly walked towards the mansion of Grand Master She.In the compartment of the carriage, Li Wan, Grandma Zhu, and Jia Tanchun, the third girl, sat facing each other.
