Yuanchun of the Red Chamber is not a virtuous concubine

When the old lady first heard that Jia Min was going to send some good medicinal materials, she was a little unhappy. After all, there are old medicinal materials, and it is difficult to find good medicinal materials. Most of them were collected in the palace. , Except for the medicinal materials brought by others as gifts, some of the medicinal materials at home are purchased from the western side, and the rest are from the mountains in the north of Rongguo Mansion. Except for some medicinal materials, those mountainous areas are really nothing. .

But these herbs are also hard to find.It takes a long time to raise it. It is a waste to give Jia Min a sick child. Fortunately, when the old lady mentioned her son, Mrs. Wang felt more at ease. At any rate, she knew that these medicines would be used for her son’s tonic. All the money spent in vain did not flow to other people's homes, and the food and clothing expenses in Rongguo Mansion became more and more economical, and Mrs. Wang was a little inclined to get into the money trap.

Fortunately, after the autumn harvest, the money in the mansion will increase again, otherwise she really can't do it, "My daughter-in-law knows, but this time, my daughter-in-law takes the children to the suburbs, and I don't know when they will be able to Come back. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the house's internal affairs, and I still need Mrs. Lao to go out and work hard for the Rongguo Mansion."

In fact, the old lady is still in love with power, otherwise the keys to the old warehouse and the warehouse would not be in the old lady's hands. It would be good for me to be in the old lady's hands. The Rongguo Mansion is not their second room. It's always hard to take things out. No matter how strong the old lady is, she always favors their second wife in her heart. Mrs. Wang can't control Jia Zheng, and the relationship between husband and wife becomes more and more flat. Naturally, the old lady can treat her and Jia Zheng well. If you can control it, you will naturally favor them even more.

"You can go at ease, it's up to you to talk about this matter, but you can't stay too long, you should work hard in this mansion, and you have to come back before September [-]th, Lian'er is not worthy of marriage, I am worried about it Leave it to your sister-in-law, and you have to take care of it."

"Don't worry, old lady. I will bring the children back at the end of August. Even if I want to stay one more day, I'm afraid Baoyu will miss his ancestors and clamor for the good things from Zhuangzi. Bring them all back to the old lady to eat."

As soon as Baoyu was mentioned, the smile on the old lady's face couldn't be stopped, and she also said with a smile, "That child is pure and filial. Regardless of his young age, he actually knows everything. That's fine, I'll wait for us Baoyu, come back with something delicious to eat, there is a lotus pond in the village, you have to be careful not to play around with the children, it’s no fun to fall into the water.”

"Don't worry, the old lady. The daughter-in-law will see the good children. It's this time. It's all the daughter-in-law's fault. It disturbed the old lady's rest time. If the old lady has any orders, just say, the daughter-in-law will definitely take care of the matter." It's perfect."

"I don't worry about what you do. I've just explained it. I feel a little tired when I say it. During this period of time, the Ministry of Industry is busy, and the son of Zheng has neglected you. It just so happens that Zhuangzi is close to the master of the royal garden. Why don't you go to the government?" Let's go with him, and save his family from running back and forth in the suburbs, and his body will lose a lot of weight."

Jia Zheng's studies may be mediocre, but he still has some advantages. For example, he is good at numbers. Jia Zheng is usually idled by the Ministry of Industry, so he can retire in the city. Obviously he is still very young. If the master is in the Ministry of Industry, no matter how bad Jia Zheng is, he can't slack off anymore. He still wants to be promoted, so naturally he has to perform well. Others didn't let him get started, and he also went to the suburbs every day, no matter how hard it was, whether he could help or not, he would go. This was a matter of attitude.

Those who came and went, followed the old masters of the Ministry of Industry, but they got to know each other well. When they got busy, there were not enough manpower, so Jia Zheng was pulled out of the young man. At the beginning, he always calculated some simple numbers.

Later, I helped to measure the distance. These are very simple, and it is difficult for Jia Zheng. He has not been in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, but he has been put to use. Little things.After doing a lot of hard work like this, no one will reject him anymore. Those who can enter the Six Departments are at least some capable people. Jia Zheng learned a lot after following others, that is, returning to Rongguo Mansion , Not idle, most of them are in the study with some talented staff to learn mathematics and other knowledge.

Although Jia Zheng is not as shrewd and capable as other people now, he hopes to be honest and responsible, and the Rongguo Mansion itself does not lack such a silver, so Jia Zheng will not go to the money allocated for the project by the Ministry of Households, Jia Zheng heard I'm also happy to go to the suburbs, maybe I can get close to the fourth master, and my wish for promotion may come true at some point.

Mrs. Wang knew what Jia Zheng was thinking best, and she definitely agreed, and she was even more happy to have this opportunity to go together.At this moment, I just responded, "The old lady still loves our master. The master ran down these days. He has indeed lost a lot of weight. I also feel very distressed. But it is not good for women in the inner house to interfere in the affairs of the outside of the man. I want to persuade you , I don’t know where to start to persuade. It seems that there is an old lady here, and the master is the most filial, so I can feel relieved now that I have listened to the old lady’s words.”

"I also know that you are in trouble. You don't need to intervene in this. When Zheng'er comes back later, I will tell him in person. He is too upright. Others can only run back and forth, and he is too embarrassed to do that special one." People, live in Zhuangzi."

"Then the old lady should rest first! My daughter-in-law is going back to work too."

After Jia Zheng came back, he first went to Rongqing Hall to greet the old lady, "Mother is well, my son is back."

"Okay, okay, just come back, you don't need so much ceremony, quickly serve your master a cup of herbal tea. It's so hot, you're tired of running around like this."

Jia Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Even if he is so tired from running around like this, my son is still happy. Is there any sour plum soup? I also ask the mother to serve a bowl for my son. It is just right for relieving the heat."

"Did you hear that? Serve your master a bowl. Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang is going to take the children to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat. There is no man here. I am a little worried. It just so happens that the Ministry of Industry has something to do there. You might as well Go with me. I am also relieved. It happens to be close to the gardening site, which is convenient for you to do errands."

Although Jia Zheng has a good face and doesn't want to be special, he is willing to enjoy it when he has a formal reason, so he is not unwilling, "Since the mother said so, the son will listen to the mother. I just don't trust them. Alone in Zhuangzi, why doesn’t my mother go to Zhuangzi to escape the summer heat, there is no reason for the elders to suffer at home and the younger generations to enjoy themselves.”

"You child just thinks too much. How can I suffer at home? Mother's body can't stand the tiredness of running around. Although the suburbs of Beijing are not far from home, there is still a distance. The road is not easy to walk. My body is so weak I can't bear the bumps on the road."

"My mother thinks the most. Since my mother can't bear the bumps, why not let someone carry the sedan chair! You can't let my mother suffer from the heat alone."

"Where is this alone? Your eldest brother and sister-in-law's family probably won't go. The key is to see the children suffer from the heat and the body can't stand it. Now there is no one in charge of the family. How can I rest assured?"

Jia Zheng couldn't persuade him, so he didn't say anything else. He had dinner with the old lady in Rongqingtang, and then he went back to his yard, talked with Mrs. Wang for a while, and agreed on the date of departure. I didn't stay any longer, and went directly to Aunt Zhao's house. Although Mrs. Wang didn't care much about the men's favor, she went out of her house and went directly to someone else's room, which also made Mrs. Wang unhappy. Let's let Aunt Zhao open the curtains until tomorrow, because Aunt Zhao got a bit of favor, and then she became arrogant again, and she didn't pay attention to the main room.

Yuan Chun didn't know about the Rongguo Mansion's decision here. The fourth master is not here these days, and the women in the backyard won't talk to her anymore. Besides, where does the fourth master want to go?She can't decide, is it coming, can she drive fourth master out?Even if she was given ten guts, she wouldn't dare.

The fourth master's departure has reduced a lot of turmoil. If you want to say that Nian Fujin is the one who is favored, although Nian Fujin was awkward for a few days after the fourth master left, when his wife came that year, he immediately became happy. In the past few days, Nian Fujin also sent a lot of things to various yards. Mrs. Nian came up many times, and Fujin didn't mean to stop him. He simply left Mrs. Nian to stay for a few days. Mrs. Nian She has lived in the garden for three days. Fortunately, fourth master is not here, otherwise she would not be able to stay.

Apart from listening to gossip, Yuan Chun went to the lotus pond in the garden while the child was asleep, took a boat to pick lotus pods, and interspersed them among the flowers and leaves. Carp were raised in the lotus pond. It looked very plump, and today Li Yuanchun couldn't help but ordered the servants by the lotus pond to catch a few fish and send them to their yard. She wanted to try braised crucian carp.

Mrs. Song saw some crucian carp delivered to the small kitchen by a stranger, so she knew it must be Yuan Chun's work again, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "I haven't eaten fish in my life, but I brought it back, and the yard is full of fish." It has a fishy smell, which makes people feel uncomfortable."

"Shu Fu Jin calm down. This servant will let someone dispose of the fish, and I dare not let Shu Fu Jin smell the fishy smell."

Song pretended not to care and said, "Forget it, you, a little servant girl, can still handle Jia Shu Fujin's fish, be careful that she blames you, take a few buckets of water and wash the ground! This smell Don't spoil our little Gege."

"Thank you, Shufu Jin, for your kindness. The slaves will do it now."
