The Second Master of the Red Chamber

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mrs. Zhang led Jia Lian, followed by Jia She, to Zhang's mansion.As soon as Zhang Di saw Jia Lian, he was overjoyed, "Cousin Lian, you are here, I miss you so much!"

In terms of sweet talk, no one can compare with Zhang Di, to the extent that many people can ignore the nature of his natural-born brat. Zhang immediately laughed and teased him, "Does Di'er only think about his cousin?"

Zhang Di immediately climbed up the pole, "Of course not, I miss aunt very much too, aunt, you haven't come to see me for a long time!"

Mrs. Zhang was just joking, but she still felt very happy when she heard him say that, "Auntie misses you too!"

"Then can I go out to play with Cousin Lian?" Zhang Diyong started to look at Mrs. Zhang with Bambi's eyes, and Mrs. Zhang nodded without thinking.

Chinese New Year is a good time for students. They finally don’t have to go to school, and they can go out to play happily. After all, this is the time when the emperor seals the pen, and they can use various reasons to escape from studying.At the very beginning, Zhang Di also felt very happy, but it was a pity that he was not going to school but was controlled by his grandmother and had no friends to play with. He soon lost his joy.

The arrival of Jia Lian really liberated him, so that he no longer had to stare pitifully at his elder brother Zhang Pei. Zhang Pei was older and had followed Jia Amnesty outside. Zhang Di and Zhang Di, because only Jia She's family came today, it doesn't matter even in the inner courtyard.

When the children left, it gave the adults a chance to talk about them. Mrs. Zhang expressed frankly that she wanted to open a foreign goods store with her family, "Nowadays, the children are getting bigger and bigger, and I want more Lian'er thinks about it, and it would be good to open a foreign goods store while my second brother is in Fuzhou now."

As soon as Mrs. Jiang heard it, she understood that foreign goods stores made money, but she was worried that her son would not be able to do well there, so she could not answer directly, "Of course what you said is good, but your second brother is just a magistrate. ..."

Mrs. Zhang smiled immediately, "These things, why do I need the second brother to handle them personally, I just think that when our sect stewards go over, it will be smoother, and I am ashamed to make the second brother busy with such things."

Her sister-in-law Huang thinks this idea is very good. Zhang Che has been released for several years, and has just been promoted to Fuzhou prefect. If he can take this opportunity to feel his way and get familiar with it, it will be a big boon in the future.Although their family is not extravagant, there are always those people, and the officials are relatively clean. If they want money, they can only be presided over by the head wife.

Thinking this way, she also followed Mrs. Zhang and said, "Mother will first write to ask my second uncle, if it is possible, then do this, if not, then it is fine."

Jiang thought for a while, then nodded, "Forget it, let me ask the previous question first."

Jia Lian's head hurts from being entangled by Zhang Di, "What the hell did you think of, you have nothing to do, you can either rape or steal." Although, he still likes the pocket watch that Zhang Di wants to give him. .

Zhang Di was not annoyed when his thoughts were seen through, and he said with a smile, "We don't need to study these days, what's the point of us staying at home every day? I'd better tell the elders, let's go play in the street."

Jia Lian squinted at him, "Do you want me to talk to my grandmother?"

Zhang Di smiled embarrassingly, "Cousin Lian, please do me a favor, and let my younger brother follow you to get rich."

Jia Lian was puzzled, "If you told your grandmother yourself, would she still refuse?"

When Zhang Di heard this, he looked at Jia Lian pitifully and said, "My grandfather said that I didn't study hard, so I stayed at home to study, but it's so lively outside, how can I calm down and study? My grandmother will definitely say that I am old." Little, don't go out casually."

"That's it," Jia Lian said calmly, "Since you know that you can't go out casually, you should know that it's useless to tell me. I might as well find time to study!"

"But the so-called 120 times of Dafa is torturing people. It's not that I don't know the book. Why do I have to torture myself like that?" Zhang Di was in a very bad mood when he mentioned this. After showing the so-called Dafa 120 times, he will not suffer the same punishment.The most annoying thing is that no matter whether it is grandfather, husband, or even uncle, they all think that method is excellent.

"That's to lay a solid foundation," Jia Lian glanced at him and said, "You've only read a few books, and you actually say you know them. If you can't complete the homework assigned by your husband, I won't take it with you." You went out."

"Cousin Na Lian, you mean that once I study hard and complete the homework assigned by my husband, I will tell my grandparents about it?" Zhang Di has always been a child who can find loopholes, and he looked at it with a smile on his face. Jia Lian, "Cousin Lian, you are so kind, then I will definitely do my homework seriously in the past few days."

Jia Lian looked helplessly at this boy who thought he had gained something. Didn't he think that if he had finished his homework, he would be able to go out without opening his mouth?It's a pity that he still doesn't want to say these things now, it's not good to stimulate his fragile little heart.

Jia She's family went out, but Mrs. Wang never went back to see Wang's house. Instead, she went to Rongqing Hall, saying that she was visiting Yuan Chun and Jia Zhu, but in fact, she was talking to Jia's mother and giving Jia She's family eye drops. .

Although she has been a grandma for many years, and has been promoted to be the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion for three years, this is indeed the first time Mrs. Zhang has been treated as the mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, no, more precisely New Year's events.What made Wang feel dissatisfied most was that she handled it very well. It's not that she hadn't thought about participating in it, but it's a pity that even Jia's mother let her stay in peace and not cause trouble.

Wang's mood is very bad, although now her pair of children are by her side, and it can be seen that they have grown up very well by Jia Mu's side, but even so, there is no way for her to restrain herself The dissatisfaction in my heart.Mrs. Zhang ordered people to lock the door connecting Lixiangyuan and the mansion. If she wanted to come to Rongqing Hall, she had to go around from the outside and enter the mansion through the corner gate in a car. She was so angry that she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.

When Mother Jia looked at her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help regretting it. At the beginning, she saw that she was the eldest lady who ruled the county uncle's family. I can help Zheng'er.But in fact, he was so stupid that with his help, he was so suppressed by that Zhang that he couldn't stand up.

Mother Jia had already voted against Wang's idea of ​​intervening in the New Year's affairs, but she didn't expect that she would now intervene in entertaining guests in the next post. "It's done, don't feel wronged. She is the wife of the mansion now, and the people in this mansion only have her in their hearts. Whatever you want to do, if she disagrees, don't say it. Whether or not the current servants will listen to your orders, we have to say something else."

Speaking of this, Jia's mother also felt very unhappy. How long did it take before Zhang changed all the servants in the mansion, and even the servants in Rongqingtang, besides the maids who served around him, all the others None left.Even if she wants to order something by herself now, it is a little troublesome. Although those servants never neglected, they always talk about master and wife, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Old lady, you are the master here." Mrs. Wang gave Jia's mother a small hug, "Nothing is better than you."

Jia's mother felt very comfortable listening to her words, but she knew in her heart that it was difficult for her to make decisions about the affairs of the house. Well, there is no dignity in this mansion, but if they really want to do something to make them unhappy, they probably don't mind tearing their faces apart.

"It's done, you don't want to be like this. As long as Zheng'er can be an official, you will have to be decent in the future." Jia's mother warned, she felt that she was already thinking of Jia Zheng. It can help, but the most important thing is that they have to go by themselves.

"You also have to remember, don't overdo things. If you really lack something, come and tell me, I can't live without you." In fact, Jia's mother was just talking. Zheng also got a lot of things, maybe he thought it was difficult to live with such a small amount of money, but once the grand ostentation of Jia's mansion is gone, and only living in Lixiangyuan is left, it will be enough all of a sudden.

Mother Jia still thought in her heart that if the Wang family were no longer housekeepers, they could work more on their children. Although they already had Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun, there were still a few less. If they could add a few more children, Especially for boys, it is not impossible for Jia Zheng's son or grandson to inherit the Rongguo Mansion when something happens to Jia Lian, or Jia Lian has no children in the future.

It's a pity that it's hard for Mrs. Wang to understand what she's thinking. What she values ​​most is the face in the house. Now that she can't be the master of the house, the opportunity to show off in front of her old relatives really makes her feel depressed. Of course, these She kept everything on Mrs. Zhang's head, and she couldn't help thinking in her heart, how good it would be if Mrs. Zhang died immediately.
