Mother Jia of the Red Chamber is Unkind

Wang Xifeng worried that Jia Zhen might not be willing to agree, so she stood still for the time being.

She felt distressed about the 3 taels of silver.Counting the old lady's property, Rong Mansion's total income is quite a lot. After throwing away the money donated to the victims and fooling around with the expenses of each house, the rest of the money is mostly used to buy land and property, which is only ten thousand eight taels There is a surplus of silver.If it is necessary to free up 3 taels of silver temporarily, it is estimated that it will be enough to sell a small shop in Beijing.But think about it, 3 taels of silver can be settled once and for all, and it is a good thing to send Ningguo Mansion back to Jinling.

Mother Jia doesn't care about these things, she believes that Wang Xifeng has a sense of propriety and can handle them well.On the contrary, Mrs. Zhang will celebrate her birthday five days later, and the birthday ceremony is worth pondering.

"You have to take care of this matter. You, Uncle Lin, also ask. Ask them to have some snacks, and make sure there is no mistake. My old lady still expects to get married to this family." Mother Jia half-jokingly said.

Wang Xifeng also laughed, and said amusedly to the old lady: "Look, you are so anxious, the old man, you haven't seen him yet, how do you know it's a good one."

"You don't have to judge whether he is good or bad. You can see how people around him evaluate him, but there are exceptions. However, let's try to give a good impression first. If it is really possible, it will be easier to communicate later, isn't it?" Jia Mu smiled. He smiled, and suddenly remembered that today is Jia Huan's monthly rest day, so he ordered the cook to cook something delicious.The family set up a table with her, happily.

Wang Xifeng pondered: "This child is in the filial piety period, practicing martial arts every day, how can he live without eating flesh and bones."

"He keeps his filial piety. Does my wife need to keep it? That is, I don't have to follow the rules there. Besides, people are not dead, so there is nothing to keep. It's just to fool outsiders." Jiamu sighed, don't say anything. Jia Huan works hard every day, which is the time to grow his body.Don't say that young men will feel flustered if they don't eat meat for three days.Her old woman felt uncomfortable without a melon seed in her hand.

Jia Huan came back at noon, and he was overjoyed when he heard that his ancestor had specially prepared meals and meat for him.Don't look at such a small thing, it can really suffocate a boy to death.Jia Huan was a little emotional, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, his heart was about to stick to Jia's mother.

Jia Mu took Jia Huan to her side to be curious, and secretly told him to go to Yuanyang's to get the money in a while, and if she couldn't get anything to eat later, she asked the barracks cook to cook a small stove.After all, you can't miss the good time to grow your body.

Jia Huan was taken aback, not knowing how to respond.

Wang Xifeng nodded his forehead and scolded with a smile: "Okay, there is nothing to be jealous of. The old lady has said it all, so you don't have to worry about it if you go to him." This was relieved.But when you think about it, that Wang family is not worthy of being honored by the people in the house.

The servants in the mansion have a very strict tone, and the old lady also told the outside world that she ordered the meat and vegetables, even if they are interested, they dare not say anything to the outside world.Although everyone knew in their hearts that the old lady couldn't eat so much meat at all.

The younger generations of the whole family were relieved of their greed, and they were happy in their hearts. They all happily enjoyed themselves at Jiamu's knees.

"There are some rules and etiquette that you have to observe to show that you are self-cultivated. But there are some things that you have to be flexible. It has been more than half a year since your aunt left, you two don't have to be restrained and depressed all the time, just pretend to be outside You should be lively at home." Jia Mu said to Jia Huan and Tanchun.

Jia Huan and Tanchun agreed.They also understand that the old lady doesn't like the second wife, and the second wife goes away again, and the two brothers and sisters can understand the reason behind it.

As for Baoyu, Mrs. Wang is his own mother.Jia Mu would not say this in front of him, let him strictly observe his filial piety.This child has been working hard for the past few days. Except for saying hello in the morning and evening every day, he has been bored in the study and insisted on doing his homework.

In the past, when he didn't study, Jia's mother was worried.Now that the child is studying too hard, Mother Jia is also worried. "Don't tell him to stay in the room all the time, come out for a walk if he has nothing to do, it's useless to read and get tired."

"That's the truth." Jia Huan smiled, and then said to Jia's mother, "I'll call Second Brother Bao."

Jia Mu nodded, then turned to Wang Xifeng and said, "How about the East Mansion?"

Because there were so many people present, Wang Xifeng replied to Jiamu with vague words: "I still said to wait, I have to think about it again."

"When will you wait, three years? Five years? You can't wait any longer. Tell them, it will be decided within three days. If you can't decide, what you said earlier doesn't matter." Jiamu said.

Wang Xifeng agreed, and turned her head to wink at Zhou Rui's family.Zhou Rui's family called his wife and went to Rong Mansion to deliver a message.

Jia Zhen is bored at home these days and pretends to be a coward. She originally thought of procrastinating and procrastinating to keep the two possibilities.Being able to stay in the capital, he tried to find a way to settle things slowly, and if he couldn't stay longer, he went to Rong Mansion to get money.Hearing the urging of the Rongguo Mansion today, Jia Zhen became furious and scolded Zhou Rui to go back.

Zhou Rui felt aggrieved, so he went to the Second Mistress and wanted to talk about it with embellishment.

Jia Zhen slaps the people around her in the face, isn't that just slapping her in the face?How could Wang Xifeng be reconciled, and then fanned the flames to complain to Jiamu.

In fact, Wang Xifeng didn't need to say it, Jia Mu knew it in her heart.The Ningguo Mansion's delay is nothing more than the desire to be protected by the Rong Mansion.Two days ago, someone spread the news from the outside, saying that someone used the name of Rongguo Mansion to teach and criticize the people of Ning Mansion.This matter has only just started, and it is not a big disturbance, so it has not yet attracted the attention of the government.

When things get serious, no one cares whether it's true or not, it's all true.

A fish still wants to make a pot of soup?

Jia Mu twisted the melon seeds in her hand, and with a lot of effort, the melon seeds jumped out and fell right at Wang Xifeng's feet.

Wang Xifeng bowed her head, the old lady was really angry about this matter, she was willing to throw melon seeds!

"Go and invite your father over. I have to ask my in-laws to help me with this matter."

Wang Xifeng said yes with a smile, the big stone in her heart fell.She felt that this time she didn't even need to sell the shop, so she could happily send Ningguo Mansion away.

Great and save money.

Zhou Rui sent a message and learned that the elder was still busy with official business, so he hurried to tell Jia's mother that he would wait until evening.Before entering the door, he saw a tall and slender person standing at the west corner door, wearing a crescent white robe, with a sword on his waist, standing straight on the ground, with a heroic posture.

"Isn't this Uncle Liu? Why did you come here? It's from the second treasure hunter?" Zhou Rui asked with a smile.

Liu Xianglian was worrying about how to tell the boy guarding the gate, when she suddenly saw Zhou Rui, she hurriedly leaned over to say hello and offered the gift box in her hand.Zhou Rui hurriedly shirked it and asked someone to call Baoyu.Liu Xianglian originally wanted to just ask Zhou Rui to express his thanks, but since he called someone, he had no choice but to swallow his words and wait for Baoyu to come.

Not long after, Baoyu came, panting a little, showing that he came in a hurry. "Brother Liu, why didn't you enter the door, but waited outside these two doors?"

"I came to the mansion today to thank you, but because I felt that my status was vulgar, I hesitated to overstep it." Liu Xianglian presented the gift box and continued, "Besides, it's not a big deal, so I dare not bother you. It's really embarrassing for a stingy person like me." It is suitable to enter your house. In the past, I felt that you officials and family members had no good things, and I realized that I was wrong when I met you. The You family's matter is thanks to Rongfu's help, otherwise I don't know how long that 'Miss' will pester me .”

"Why, did he pester you?" Baoyu was puzzled. He only remembered that Lian's second brother had promised to marry him at the beginning, but it didn't work out. How could there be any troubles?

Liu Xianglian wants to explain, seeing that Baoyu's elegant appearance is completely different from before, so I'm embarrassed to say it.Liu Xianglian was relieved, and said with a smile: "Forget it, the past will go with the wind. I am here today, one is to thank you, and the other is to say goodbye to Brother Bao. I am going to travel in the south of the Yangtze River, and I just forgot these days troubles in the capital."

Seeing that Liu Xianglian had made up his mind to go, Baoyu sent him off and went back to tell Jiamu.

"I don't know what is in this box." Wang Xifeng became a little curious.

Baoyu opened it, only to see a bead the size of a bull's eye neatly placed in the brocade box.Wang Xifeng opened her eyes wide in surprise, pointed at the bead and asked Jia Mu in amazement: "Could it be the Ye Mingzhu?" I heard that Liu Xianglian's ancestor was also a powerful one, so the bead is likely to be a family heirloom.

"I can't accept this gift, so send it back quickly," said Jia's mother.

Baoyu also nodded, and hurriedly asked Zhou Rui to send someone to chase Liu Xianglian.

"Don't focus on studying, you have to go out and walk around when you have time. Your future second brother-in-law Yin Shang is also good at studying. It would be great if you have nothing to do and you two can learn some talents. By the way, let him know more about your second brother-in-law." Sister." Jia Mu smiled lightly.

Baoyu agreed, thinking it was a good idea.

Yingchun blushed while listening, lowering her head shyly.

Seeing this, everyone wants to joke about welcoming the spring.The room was peaceful and full of laughter.

At this time, Zhou Rui's family members suddenly came rushing over.She just followed Zhou Rui to see off her husband.There must be something wrong in coming here in such a hurry.Besides, something that can change the color of the housekeeper must be a big deal.

Everyone guessed that the matter was serious, and they didn't dare to make mistakes, so they all kept silent.

"Old lady, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhang are back." As soon as Zhou Rui's words came out, the surrounding atmosphere became more oppressive.

Aunt Zhang is back, what about the Second Political Master?He went to Fujian under the order. If he really resisted the order, the whole family would have to suffer and exterminate the nine clans?

"All back?" Mother Jia asked, and everyone stared at Zhou Rui's mouth eagerly.

Zhou Rui's family was full of remorse, trembling their lips and said, "Damn this servant, I don't know if the second master is there, this servant just heard Aunt Zhang's voice outside the second door, and thought I heard it wrong, wait for the door to open a crack , as soon as she caught sight of her face, the servant hurried back and asked you for advice. At the door, did the old lady give her orders not to let her in, what do you think of the situation like this?"

When everyone heard this, their hearts were suspended.If Jia Zheng was still sitting in Aunt Zhang's car, they would all have to die.

"Let it in, and bring her to see me directly." After Jia Mu ordered, she sent away the irrelevant people in the room.She thought for a while, then called Qian Hua over and ordered: "Starting tonight, you will lead people to lie down at the back door of Ningguo Mansion. If there are three or four young men going out together, you will lead people to follow and stay behind." If you see something wrong, send someone to Shuntian Mansion to report the crime."

The news from Jia Amnesty has been conveyed, and he will definitely go directly to Yinqiu, Yinqiu of Shuntian Mansion after finishing his official duties.

This is a matter of saying hello, and it is not too difficult.

"There is one more secret thing I want to tell you." After Jiamu finished talking to Qian Hua, she whispered a few words to Yuanyang.Yuanyang's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, and his gaze became very firm again. He bit his lip and boldly lured Qian Hua out to speak.

"Great peace, old lady!" Aunt Zhang entered the door with a smile on her face, and saluted Jia Mu.

"What's the matter with you?" Mother Jia narrowed her eyes.

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, since Mother Jia didn't ask her to get up, she would never dare to get up without permission.This was actually the first time she saw Mother Jia. She had heard people say that the old lady was amazing, but she didn't think much of it.Today I really saw it, and I was inexplicably afraid.Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes, she fell down on the ground in aggrieved state, and said to Jia Mu with tears in her eyes, "Second Master is worried about your stay in Beijing, so he asked the servants to come back to take care of you."

"Hehe, will the second master of your family worry about me? I think he is worried about himself."
