Clear water and jade in the Red Chamber

Marry the concubine over.But if the Xue family is playing tricks, the master can't easily let him go, it's the reputation of the Jia family that will be ruined! Jingzhen poured a cup of tea and handed it to Jia Zheng.

"Alas..." Jia Zheng put his arms around Jingzhen's shoulders, took the teacup with the other, and said angrily, "This time it's true! I can't spare the Xue family! Jing'er, from now on, it's up to you." Housekeeping! The lady in the palace ordered that stupid housekeeper of the Wang family, and also asked that slutty girl of the Xue family to help. She must not know that the Wang family is now on the verge of half-madness. Why don't you take care of it first? Talk to the empress personally. If you have any trivial matters, just ask the third girl to do it, and don't think about missing a cent of the money that should be asked by the Xue family!"

"Master, this is not suitable..." Jingzhen declined: "How can you disobey the imperial edict?"

"Nothing is suitable or inappropriate, just go ahead and do it!" Jia Zheng really doesn't have a woman who can be used as a housekeeper now, and Jingzhen is not like he and Jia's mother estimated in advance, so he can only use it temporarily, thinking After a while, he said, "Come on!"

"Master!" Jia Zheng's servant came in and replied outside the door.

"Tell me what I say. From now on, Mrs. Jing will take care of the house, and the third girl will help you. You must be filial to your wife, and you must not steal or play tricks!" Jia Zheng ordered: "Go and ask Lin Zhixiao's family to take some account books, Take all the matching cards and give them to Mrs. Jing!"

"Yes!" The servant was ordered to go on.

"But, my concubine didn't care about the family, I'm afraid..." Jing Zhen hesitated.

"If you don't understand anything, just ask the old lady." Jia Zheng said: "There is not much money for the official, except for the expenses in the mansion, the expenses of running between the mansions are very huge, and there are also the needs of the empress in the palace, etc., old lady How much can be donated. Although the Xue family gave half of the money for building the garden, I want them to pay all of it!"

"Feng girl is very good with me, and she also said a few words about the difficulty of managing the family." Jingzhen nodded, and then suddenly remembered something: "Master, what is the interest money? How should I let it go?"

"Why do you ask this?" Jia Zheng was taken aback when he heard this, knowing that Jing really didn't understand, otherwise he wouldn't have asked so carelessly.

"Oh." Jingzhen seemed a little timid: "I was walking in the yard that day, and I heard a few girls talking, saying that the second wife is very clever. Since she was the housekeeper of Feng girl, she often used the monthly money to pay interest. What interest is there? I don't know if it's worth the cost, I thought it was a good thing..."

"..." Jia Zheng has no more suitable words to insult Mrs. Wang!The more his Jia family wanted to keep a low profile, the more Wang's sister Hua would beat gongs and drums for him all day long!What's even more hateful is that if the interest is used for the expenses of the family, it is still reasonable, but she cries poorly all day long and reaches out to the old lady, and all the money for the interest falls into her own money!

With a woman like her around, it's no wonder the Jia family can still thrive!Nowadays, silver is a very sensitive word for Jia Zheng. When he learned of Wang's behavior, his head was so angry that the veins appeared on his head. When he thought that she might have a large amount of money in his hand, he made up his mind.

"Master! Master!" Lai Da hurried in.

"What are you panicking about! You're so sloppy!" Jia Zheng was angry, and he didn't have a good attitude.

"Master!" Lai Da fell to his knees and said anxiously: "Master Xue went to Shuntian Mansion early in the morning to beat the drums and sue several brothels with erotic pictures..."

"Idiot! Big idiot!" Jia Zheng was almost out of breath from all the brainless people, and Jing Zhen hurriedly helped Shun.

"Hurry up and ask someone to get that fool back! His Xue family can afford to lose him, but the Jia family can't afford to lose him!" Jia Zheng said angrily.

"Master, Uncle Xue has already lost the lawsuit, and was beaten by Gao Zhaomin of Shuntian Prefecture for a total of 120 boards! Later Dali Temple ordered the eldest son of the Xue family to be detained in a cell, saying that the murder case of Jinling has been ordered by Shuntian Prefecture to retry!"

"What!" A basin of cold water poured Jia Zheng from head to foot!The Jinling murder case was ordered by Mrs. Wang in her own name to order Jia Yucun to arbitrarily judge. Xue Pan still has the weapon of loyalty to the prince!In fact, he didn't care about anything else, he tore the letter on the table and threw it into the bowl at random, picked up the torch and was about to light it.

"Master, I'm here, you go and have a look!" Jingzhen took the booklet and reached out to pick up the letter.

"Okay!" Jing is really the loyal and obedient prince's daughter, and she can't read, so Jia Zheng can trust her.Shen Shen sighed, turned around and led the people away in a hurry.

"Master!" Jing Zhen chased him out and put a new cloak on him.

Jia Zheng couldn't wait any longer, and hurried out of the yard with his belt on.

For a while, there was no one else in the yard.Jingzhen quickly turned back inside and unfolded King Zhongshun's letter. Although she couldn't read, she was able to put together the torn pieces and put them in her bosom. There were more ashes in the middle.His heart was pounding, he was afraid of being discovered, and after confirming that the paper had been burned to ashes, Fang called the girl in to put on the cloak, and said that the master asked her to be in charge of the house, and she didn't know much, so she went to ask Sister Feng. , So I went directly to Sister Feng's yard.

Although the pace is slow, the heart is extremely eager, and when meeting girls and women who are saluting on the road, they have to say a few words symbolically.Jingzhen put her hand in Mao Huan's hand, but she was still nervous and cold. Just now in Jia Zheng's study, under her gentle and gentle face, she was pressing down on the heart that was so nervous that it was about to jump out of her throat.For a period of time, she endured the humiliation and served Jia Zheng gently and submissively overnight, just to win his trust, and she often entered his study in the future, looking for letters.Although she was illiterate, Caiming taught her how to identify letters several times. Her task was to find them, and then draw the first and last titles and inscriptions of the letters, and hand them over to Caiming to distinguish them.Today, she came back to test, but she didn't want to run into a letter from Prince Zhongshun, and Jia Zheng wanted to burn it herself, so she didn't even need to copy it.

"Mrs. Jing is here!" The little girl at the gate of Sister Feng's yard saw Jing Zhen and hurriedly informed her.

"Madam is here"!Ping'er came out first, bowed his knees and saluted, stretched out his hand and said: "It's cold outside, madam, please sit inside."

"Is your grandma here?" Jingzhen showed some smiles: "The master just said that I will be in charge of the house, but he made it difficult for me. No, come to talk to your grandma, do you have time?"

"I've seen my wife!" Just as Jingzhen finished speaking, she saw that Sister Feng had come out to greet her: "My wife is looking for me, how can I not have time!" As she said, she walked inside affectionately, holding Jingzhen's arm.

"You guys, go to the old lady to get some fresh fruits, and prepare some refreshments!" Ping'er took Jingzhen's girl to her room to talk, and then turned to tell the old woman outside to do this and that, sent them away.

"Sister Feng!" Without outsiders, Jingzhen also lost her forced composure just now, she threw aside her hair-removing handguard, held Sister Feng's hand, trembling slightly, her eyes were red.

"Why are your hands so cold!" Sister Feng hurriedly pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed, took her hand stove and stuffed it into her arms: "These girls were all transferred in from the outside, and they are so careless right now. I even forgot to bring you the hand stove. If you should scold them, scold them, you can't pity them!"

"Sister Feng, I just got a letter from that old dog of King Zhongshun!" Jingzhen said eagerly, "He asked me to burn it, and I hid it privately." As I was digging, my hands were shaking, and after three and two digs, I finally pulled out a few pieces of crumpled letter paper.

"My God!" Sister Feng whispered, and hurriedly helped to spread out the pavement separately.It really is a letter!Lie there completely.Then, pulling Jingzhen, he said with sincere concern: "Miss Jing, it's rare for you to take such a big risk, but my status is not appropriate, otherwise, no matter what, I won't let you take the risk!"

"Sister Feng, I am willing to do this. Without Sister Feng, Jingzhen would be a weak woman who was cheated into marriage and lost her innocence... There is no way to avenge my mother in this life, so I can only die..." Jingzhen shed tears "Sister, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to avenge my mother, I want revenge!" As she said, she fell into Sister Feng's arms crying.

"Don't worry! Jia's family and Zhongshun Palace are like dogs of a feather. No one can run away... Your business is on my shoulders. Let's work together to find some useful things, so that I can help my child and your mother as soon as possible." Revenge!" Sister Feng's eyes filled with tears, but she held back her tears.She is a sensible person, and she has a connection with Lin Ruhai. Except for Ping'er Caiming, no one else should know about it. Therefore, Jingzhen only knows that she has a way to help revenge, and knows nothing about the rest.

"Sister Feng, although I don't know why I do these things, but as long as my sister says that I can avenge my mother, I will do it!" Jing Zhen burst into tears, but her eyes were fixed, full of hatred, and said: "Wait I'll look for opportunities to explore again, and I'll find anything my sister thinks is useful!"

"But you must be careful!" Sister Feng hugged her to comfort her for a long time, got up to adjust her mood, went to the door and lifted the curtain and called out, "Where is Caiming? Where did he die? Tell him to come in and give me a hand." Madam, tell me how to read the account!"

"Yes!" A girl in the yard hurriedly passed on Caiming.

Since getting married, Jing Zhenben has lived like a walking corpse, not taking anything to heart, and intends to live like this until the end of her life.And one of Sister Feng's tasks is to pay attention to Jingzhen's actions and deliver news to Lin Ruhai at any time.So I went to sit with Jingzhen from time to time, chatted with her, and said something.Gradually, she felt that Jingzhen was very simple and melancholy, as if there were a lot of melancholy buried in her heart, and she didn't seem like a scheming person.I always saw her kneeling in front of the Buddha statue for half a day. When asked, she only said that she was praying for some blessings for her dead mother.

Jingzhen never mentioned anything about Zhongshun Palace, especially
