The Second Master of the Red Chamber

It took Jia Zheng three months to recover from his injuries. No one knows whether it is true or not, but he always showed a sick appearance every day.As for the Wen Xiang who caused the incident, her pregnancy was originally a way to save her life. After Shi verified that it was a fake, she was very rude and sold her to a remote place. Got it.

Mrs. Wang has been shaking again recently, probably because the new year is here, Mrs. Shi ordered her to deal with various matters. Jia Daishan is quite indifferent to Jia Zheng now, which makes Mrs. Shi very worried. The only thing that makes her satisfied is that Jia Daishan treats Jia Amnesty She is also very indifferent, and seems to be very disappointed with her two sons at once, but she is not very worried about this issue. She is the only one who gave birth to two sons in Jia's mansion. Even if Jia Daishan is not satisfied, it is impossible to pass on the title to others.In order to protect Jia Zheng's interests, Mrs. Shi could only pull Mrs. Wang out again and let her be in charge of the appropriate size for the New Year, which can be regarded as giving the second house a face.

Jia Amnesty was very dissatisfied with this, but it was useless, the Zhang family had never cared about the family, what's more, even if he was dissatisfied, it could not change Shi's decision.

Jia Lian didn't feel much about it either, but he discovered something else, that is, whether it was Jia Zhu or Yuan Chun, they were a little different from before, and their calmness was a little different from ordinary people.He originally thought that it was Jia Zheng who had been scolded, and the two of them were frightened or restrained, but Shi Shi loved them as always, and they were still very quiet. This time, Wang Shi became public. They didn't respond in particular.

"Of course they have grown up." Mrs. Zhang said calmly after hearing Jia Lian's doubts.

Jia Lian frowned slightly, this kind of maturity was not what he wanted to see, it was obviously more difficult to deal with, well, even what was written on his face, he felt that he couldn't figure it out, but he could see it at a glance , is really unpleasant.

In Zhang's heart, these are nothing. Yuan Chun and Jia Zhu are still children after all, and they are not threatening for the time being.At the end of the year, she will also have to deal with the books of the Zhuangzi shop in her hands, and there are many troublesome things.During this period of time, she has opened a few more shops, and the income is quite good, but she used her own dowry shop to open these shops, and they were all bought by her natal family. As for the ones Jia She gave her , or the original way of dealing with it—rent collectors, although they can’t afford a lot of money, it is more than enough to support Jia Amnesty’s various expenses when he goes out to fool around.

Although Mrs. Wang was busy hiding money, she was scolded by Mrs. Shi very dissatisfied because she did one thing inappropriately, "Are you such a shallow-sighted person?" It was Shi Shi who found out that Wang Shi's annual gift to Jia Min was very inappropriate. Of course, it was not Shi Shi who wanted to take a look at it on a whim, but someone mentioned it in her ear.

A few months ago, Jia Min followed Lin Ruhai to Suzhou to take up the post. Shi felt very distressed. She always felt that she would suffer hardships, but she never thought that no one dared to bully her daughter outside. A matter of face, "The things Min'er sends are always excellent, but in the end, it's good for you to give her those extremely bad things. Are you pretending that I can't know?"

If Jia Zheng wanted to become an official, he would naturally want to support others. How could he not understand what kind of Shi Shi his son was? It needs the help of relatives. Besides Wang Ziteng, Lin Ruhai is the biggest help.It's good for Mrs. Wang, she only thinks about her little thoughts, which ruins her plan.

Mrs. Wang really felt that she was wronged. The good things in the warehouse had been taken away by Mrs. Shi. It was not easy for her to maintain the dignity of the Rongguo Mansion, so it was natural for the four princes and eight princes to pay their respects. It should be excellent, she is reluctant to give bad things to her royal family, and the historians and Xue family who are both four big families can't be worse.

She also wants to take the opportunity to earn some private houses, of course, she can't give good things to everyone. She wants to reduce the Zhang family, but it was Jia Amnesty who reminded Jia Daishan of the Zhang family. Shi Shi mentioned that she can't resist anymore, so she can only be inferior in what she gives to other families. Lin Ruhai is the only one in Lin's family now, and she is only a small official, and she is still far away in Suzhou, so she will reduce it in this regard. He picked up something, but he didn't expect that it would be in front of Shi's face, and he was hung up again.

Shi Shi didn't care what she wanted to argue, "Don't let me know about such things, our Rongguo Mansion has never been one of those petty people, how could we do such a shameful thing, now it's just Min Son, even if you see something is wrong, you don’t care too much about it, so what about other people? I’m afraid they don’t know what they will think about our family!”

Wang shi hated it in her heart, but she could only agree on the face, "If you go back to your wife, your daughter-in-law will know, and she will definitely not do this again in the future."

Shi Shi didn't want to hear her admit her mistakes, so she ordered directly, "You have made up everything for Min'er, and I'll add some more. She doesn't know whether her life in Suzhou is going well or not, so she can't let her have a bad life for years. .”

These matters can't be kept from Mrs. Zhang now. Jia Lian listened and was very puzzled, "Mother, has our family reached this level?" He always felt that it was Jia Daishan. After his death, the Rongguo Mansion began to decline. No matter how it looks, it is not doing well now.

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly, "Such a big mansion, with so many servants, is so extravagant every day. It would be strange if it could be full of gold and jade all the time! What's more, your second aunt's housekeeper naturally wants to She must not do it herself to deduct some gold and silver from it. She must order those slaves who buy it to do it. Are you sure that those slaves are obediently not greedy for ink? No, the master takes The one who arrived was the slave who took the rest!"

Jia Lian thought of the money spent in building the Grand View Garden, and Lai's garden, which was no less than the Grand View Garden, and felt that slaves were moths.

Mrs. Zhang looked at him in thought, and stopped talking. In fact, these things are similar to those in the officialdom. Only Jia Amnesty can't teach him, and she has no in-depth contact with the officialdom. She can only guide Jia Lian through family affairs. Let him gradually figure out the way to do things.

Watching the new year, Jia Daishan felt a lot more comfortable looking at the two struggling grandsons. He just remembered what Mr. Li had said to him before, thinking that he might have to find a husband for them again, and he had to find a better one. become.

As soon as he mentioned it, Jia Zheng immediately said, "Since that's the case, let them learn to study at home. Uncle Six is ​​also from Juren, and he is also excellent in learning."

Naturally, Jia Amnesty was not happy, he was educated by a family, and Jia Dairu only praised Jia Zheng at the beginning, so he didn't have a good impression of him at all, and he didn't want his son to hear Jia Zhu being praised by Jia Dairu.

Jia Zheng said again, "What's more, they only study at home. They only know books and don't know human relationships. It is also a kind of tempering to study at home with the children of the clan."

Jia Dai's kind heart was somewhat moved, and Shi Shi listened to what Jia Zheng said was reasonable, and followed to save face for his beloved son, "Yes, for studying and so on, you can learn better with other children. What's more, for people like us, the ability to read is secondary, and it is more important to know more about how to get along with others."

When Jia Daishan heard what they said, he nodded, "In this case, let them go to home school to study first. If they don't read well, then I will invite you to the teacher."

Going to study at home was the last thing Zhang wanted to see, but it still happened. Fortunately, she had already prepared for it. Although she didn't say anything against it, she already had a plan in her heart.

When she returned to her natal family, Mrs. Zhang clearly proposed to let Jia Lian come to study, "I have never been to what kind of family education there is, and I know a little bit about it, but I have taught a scholar to be successful." ? I can't let Lian'er go there, as long as I don't have any progress in learning, if I get some bad habits, I won't even have a place to cry!"

Mrs. Jiang nodded, "If you come to study, there is no problem, but how do you tell the people in that mansion?"

"Then I can only wrong my Lian'er for a few days first," Mrs. Zhang whispered her plan, "Go for a few days and then say that you can't get used to it. You can't go. Fortunately, it's Chinese New Year now. Anyway, I have to wait until I come out." After fifteen years, Lian'er will be allowed to suffer in the past."

Jiang Shi nodded, "Since you have plans, I'm relieved, there is only one thing I'm afraid I need to talk to you about."

Mrs. Zhang immediately listened, "What is it?"

"It's not your second brother, who is always arguing to let it out, saying that there are no counties in Lizhou and Taiwan provinces." When Jiang mentioned his second son, he couldn't help but get a headache. He was not as calm as the eldest son, and he always He likes to make up his own mind, "Your father can't hold him back, I'm afraid he will go and ask him to be released soon after the New Year!"

"Mother, don't worry, it's a bit of hard work, but it's also a good thing," Zhang comforted, "I just don't know how the second sister-in-law, brother Jun and brother Di arranged it?"

"Your second sister-in-law will naturally follow, otherwise I don't feel relieved. As for the two children, I don't know what to do. I just don't want them to leave me, but I also think that your second sister-in-law would also be reluctant to have children. leave her."

"Mother, don't worry about it alone, you can discuss it with your father or ask your second brother and second sister-in-law about their plans." Zhang Shi said while helping Jiang Shi shoulder.

Mrs. Jiang nodded, and Mrs. Liu over there heard her say after seeing Mrs. Zhang, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry." She also breathed a sigh of relief. It's just about the child, and she needs to think about it. She also thinks Mr. Jingli is good. , but if the son is not around, I feel uneasy.
