The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Similar to Jia Yuanchun's troubles in marriage, Jia Zhu's marriage was not particularly smooth, but he is a man after all, and he has achieved fame, so he is a little better, and some people think he is very promising. Betroth his daughter to him, for example, Guozijian Li Jijiu.

His wife has always been extremely virtuous, obeying the three obediences and four virtues, and will never object to his words, but even such a person, after hearing Li Jijiu talking about marrying his daughter to Jia Zhu, couldn't help but whisper Said, "I heard that that person is not feeling well?"

Li Jijiu doesn't listen to his wife. When she heard that she didn't agree with the marriage he was looking for, he was very dissatisfied and said, "It's just a rumor. Jia Zhu also studied in the Imperial College, and I have seen him. He has good knowledge, and it’s nothing if he didn’t pass the exam in this subject. He will definitely gain something in the next subject. Besides, how can the scholar’s ​​body compare to those rough people? He is also everyone’s son, and he has been meticulous How can there be any problems if you keep it."

Mrs. Li had no choice but to nod her head and agree, "Since the master thinks it's good, then it's good. I don't know this, I just listened to the rumors."

"You also said it was a rumor, don't say such things in the future." When Li Jijiu said this, Mrs. Li naturally responded repeatedly.

Since Li Jijiu chose this son-in-law, he thought that since Jia Zhu was the son-in-law of everyone, and he was striving to study and take the imperial examination, he must be the son-in-law of many families, so he was not too sure, and he took the initiative to find Jia Zheng and talk about it. .

As for Jia Zheng, he didn't take Jia Zhu's marriage seriously. After all, it was enough for Jia Mu and Wang to worry about him.He was very happy to get the meeting with Guozijian for sacrificial wine. He has always admired these scholars very much. Hearing the intention of the other party's visit, he also felt very good. He nodded and agreed, "Very good, very good!" The exchange I got the token of engagement, and agreed to propose marriage in a few days, and went home happily.

Jia Zhu's marriage was decided so simply, without the knowledge of Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, but Jia Zheng didn't think about keeping it a secret, so he told them about it when he got home. thing, and warned Jia Zhu, "I have chosen a good wife with you, and we will live a good life in the future."

Jia's mother was a little dissatisfied at first, but she had been picking and choosing for so long, but she never chose any suitable family. Now that Jia Zheng has directly arranged the marriage, even if she was dissatisfied, she never It showed that he wanted to be able to marry Guozijian Jijiu in his heart, which would be very helpful to Jia Zhu's future future.

On the contrary, Wang Shi was obviously unhappy. In her heart, Jia Zhu was the best child in the world, even a princess could marry him, and now she was engaged to the daughter of a fourth-rank official. My heart is extremely uncomfortable.But no matter how uncomfortable she is, the marriage has been settled, she can only feel uncomfortable in her heart, complaining a few times occasionally, but she dare not say much.

Mrs. Zhang was very happy about Jia Zhu's engagement. After the engagement, she would not be able to live in their house anymore. Otherwise, it would not be a bad reputation, but would be laughed at by the whole capital.

Even if Jia's mother was not very happy, she had to let Jia Zhu move away from her side, but she opened her private room very generously, and sent the good things into Jia Zhu's new house unceremoniously. I couldn't help but feel jealous, but Mrs. Zhang watched very calmly and coldly. Next, Jia Yuanchun is the only one who makes her feel unhappy in the mansion. I just don't know when she will be able to say goodbye. married.

The thing that was beyond her expectation was that Mother Jia didn't continue to rush to marry Jia Yuanchun, but dragged the Princess of Nan'an County to ask for two nuns from the palace and put them next to Jia Yuanchun. If something happens, next year is the year to choose a concubine. It seems that this old lady is going to send her precious granddaughter to the palace to make a fortune.

Zhang was thinking about what to do to avoid this matter, and she didn't even care about Jia Zhu's marriage.Jia Lian smiled and teased Jia Zhu before he left, "Brother Zhu is getting married soon, so let me congratulate you first."

Getting married is a good thing for Jia Zhu, but moving out of the mansion made Jia Zhu feel a little uncomfortable. He knew what it meant to move out, but he also knew better in his heart that whether he wanted to or not , are to be moved out.

Wang's dissatisfaction with Li Wan escalated from the moment she saw her dowry to the apex. Such a shabby household dared to miss her Zhu'er. A thin dowry, part-time job is to embarrass their family.

In fact, Li Wan's dowry was not so contemptible. Li Jijiu only had such a daughter, so naturally he started saving her dowry since he was a child. Later, he chose this marriage for her and added some more. But even so, there must be no way to compare with Wang's previous pretense.After all, Li Jijiu was born in Qingliu, and now he is just a Jijiu of the Imperial College. Although the fourth-rank official position in Qingshui Yamen is said to be full of students, when it comes to money, it is really incomparable.

Therefore, in Li Wan's dowry, the most valuable things are calligraphy, paintings, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, etc., but these are things that Wang doesn't know much about. Needless to say, Li Wan was already positioned in his heart as a broken-down household.

It's just that whether it's Jia Zheng or Jia's mother, when they heard that Jia Zhu was able to marry the daughter of Guozijian Jijiu's family, what they cared about was not how much dowry their family could accompany them, but how all the connections in Li Jijiu's hands could give Jia Zhu future benefits. What a great help.

Even when Mrs. Zhang heard that Jia Zhu had made such a marriage, she felt that Jia Zhu had really made a profit. Only Mrs. Wang, who is short-sighted and only sees money in her eyes, would look down on a daughter-in-law like Li Wan, and even look down on her daughter-in-law. Mrs. Li's gaze was not very kind either.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li is a virtuous person, she never thinks of others badly, and she can smile kindly when she feels Wang's eyes. She thought that Jia's family is a wealthy family, and Jia Zhu is motivated. Their family can talk like this The marriage is good, even for the sake of her daughter's well-being in the future, she will not get into trouble with Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Li can not care about anything, after all, she is not with Wang's side to make a living, but Li Wan is different, she went to Wang's side early in the morning to set the rules and did not say anything, and she didn't realize until she returned to her room that she was thinking about it. There are already four maids around my beloved, two of whom were arranged by Jia Mu for Jia Zhu's personnel affairs, and two of which were sent by Wang after Jia Zhu returned to the mansion. She didn't eat anything all morning, which made her uncomfortable.

No matter where they came from, these four girls made Li Wan feel disgusted. Although she said that she was a grandma and they were servants who served her, but these girls who came from the elders, she could really send out Is it sold or cleaned up?

The education Li Wan received since she was a child made her absolutely have no courage to do such a thing, so she could only endure it, no matter how unhappy she was in her heart, she could only endure it.Jia Zhu is very similar to Jia Zheng in this respect, she has never thought that having these housewives around her will make his wife feel uncomfortable, and even more so, if Li Wan feels unhappy or uncomfortable, it will be her Not virtuous.

Although Li Wan only spent one night with Jia Zhu, she already had a little understanding of her husband's character in her heart, and she could only swallow all the pain by herself. She couldn't help but think of what her mother said before she got married, "Give birth to a son earlier, and your life will be easier if you have a child by your side."

When Jia Zhu brought Li Wan to the General's Mansion to meet Jia Mu and Mrs. Zhang, Jia Yuanchun was quite looking forward to it. She thought to herself that her sister-in-law, as the daughter of the Imperial College Jiji Restaurant, must have a brilliant literary talent. Their aunt and sister-in-law must have a lot to talk about.

It's a pity that the moment she saw Li Wan, she was a little disappointed. After chatting for a few words, she felt that the two of them might not have anything in common. When I was young, it was always good to be literate and understand the truth. I didn't learn those piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but just read the Fourth Female Book every day.

Naturally, this cannot be compared with Yuan Chun, who was carefully trained by Jia's mother. The two of them may be able to talk a few words, but they are only slightly better than Jia Min and Wang's at the beginning. Under such circumstances, Jia Yuanchun He was quite dissatisfied with this sister-in-law.

When I talked to Wang Shi, the mother and daughter hit it off, and they were all dissatisfied with Li Wan, "I thought my brother could marry a talented woman back home, but I didn't expect it to be a piece of wood."

Mrs. Wang is annoying when she thinks about it. Even if she is a talented woman, she doesn't like those worthless dowries. If you don't like it, just ignore her, don't be angry."

Jia Yuanchun nodded, "It doesn't matter if my daughter is like this, it's just because of my brother's grievance."

It's just that these two never thought that Jia Zhu was just the son of a fifth-rank official, and he was never wise, and his knowledge was only average, and he even had a mother like Wang who was pulling marks.As for Li Wan, no matter how bad she was, the daughter of a fourth-rank official had never had any problems in virtue and had a harmonious family. Marrying Jia Zhu was considered a low marriage.

The author has something to say: Jia Zhu has moved away, hehehe~Li Wan's life is not easy, mainly because I don't like her, so I can only let her suffer. . .
