Old Lady Jia through the Red Mansions

On this day, when Jia She entered the palace, the old lady was restless at home, she just dragged her daughter-in-law Zhang to chat carelessly without saying a word, and waited anxiously for Jia She to come back.

Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are worried about Jia She's entering the palace. The palace is sacred and dangerous to the old lady.Don't people often say 'A companion is like a tiger'?That alone makes people feel very dangerous.The reason why the old lady felt that it was dangerous was because Jia She was ignorant and not very smart. Before she came, she was a full-fledged dandy, and she only found pleasure in the crowd of women every day.

It's okay to ask him to do something ordinary all of a sudden.Now he is facing the emperor, the kind of big man standing on the top of the pyramid that the old lady has only seen on TV and movies, and who controls the life and death of ordinary people.

In her previous life, the biggest official the old lady had ever met was the magistrate and secretary of their county.Those people didn't know what to do with their son. The son called back on a hot day and said that he would bring two of them back for porridge, and asked the old lady to pick up more sauerkraut from the old sour pot and mix it well.The old lady also asked her son:

"You have brought guests back, do you need to fry two dishes?"

"No need, we are just thirsty and just want a bowl of porridge."

The old lady did as well, and after a while, the son brought back two very energetic men who were about his age.The son only introduced him as his friend, and the old lady didn't take it seriously, so she invited them to drink porridge.

Those two people didn't dislike their shabby home, just because of the sourness, the three big men drank the whole pot of porridge in a daze!The old lady was particularly impressed.

After that, I didn't see anyone again, and asked about my son:

"Son, why don't your two friends come to the house anymore?"

"He's busy with work! How can he have time to visit our house all the time!"

"What do they do?"

"They work in the county party committee."

"Oh."

I heard that they were the secretary of the county party committee and the county magistrate when I saw them on TV by chance.She stayed there for a while before she suddenly realized.After thinking about what they are, what does it matter?What does it matter if you don't know?With that in mind, I let go.

It has nothing to do with her son's job or anything at home, and he is the only one he can rely on.To be the director of a certain bureau based on her own ability is already a big deal in her opinion.As for being looked down upon by his daughter-in-law when he went to the countryside later, it was because the woman had no vision.

That woman didn't even think about it, she was just a workshop worker in a certain factory, if her son hadn't spent some money to transfer her out, would she be able to sit comfortably in the office?

Besides, this cheap son is going to meet the emperor of this country!In case the cheap son said something wrong and offended the emperor, he would be beheaded!This is ancient times. If the emperor wants you to die, you must die. It would be strange if you can still live!And it will implicate the Nine Clans or something, which is really terrible.This is why the old lady has always felt unsafe since she came to this ancient time, and the emperor might vent her anger on their house one day.

Now I am an old lady in the backyard. If something really happens, I can't help, and I can't do anything. I'm afraid that it will be a waste of help, and I don't know how I will die when the time comes!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law waited and waited, and finally:

"Old lady, the master is back!" Cuiyu, who was asked by the old lady to go to the second door to inquire, shouted while running without being gentle.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were still in the middle of nowhere, immediately sat up straight, waiting for Jia She to enter the door.At this moment, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were waiting in Rongxi Hall, so when Jia She came in, he saw that his clothes were wet with sweat. Before Jia She could speak, the old lady said:

"Xie'er, go and change your clothes first."

Mrs. Zhang stood up immediately, went in with Jia She, and waited for him to change his clothes.Soon, the couple came out together.

It was only two years after Jia She's real relationship with the old lady after his father passed away, but he also knew that the old lady was sitting here because she was worried about what might happen to him in the palace.So, as soon as he sat down, he hurriedly reported to the old lady about his interview in the palace.And took out the reward given by the saint.

After hearing this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while, and then said:

"The Holy Majesty is happy with your repayment, so he gave you a reward, and it is considered to remember you. Now that you are a filial piety, although you, a general like you, are only idle, even if you just go to order a lie every day, don't forget Go. Mother doesn't want you to fight for fame, but you also need to communicate more with your colleagues and relationships, so that our family doesn't live in the capital, and when something happens from above, we will be blind , I don’t know anything, that’s not good.”

After hearing what the old lady said, Jia Amnesty probably wouldn't have cared if it was him in the past.But during the more than two years of keeping his filial piety, he, a filial son, spent all day in front of the old lady to fulfill his filial piety. He knew that many things the old lady said were really useful!

Not to mention anything else, as far as repaying the money, if you do it yourself, it is estimated that you will still pay 5 taels a year, and the Holy One probably doesn't remember who you are. Not yet!It's hard to say what will happen then!Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty replied seriously:

"A son listens to his mother."

This son is obedient, and this family should not have the miserable ending in the original book!The old lady sighed in her heart.mouth said:

"Xie'er, it's not your mother who said you. You are not capable if you are not good at writing. You are not very capable. Mother only asks you to be filial to your mother. Today, this is done. Tomorrow, let the housekeeper take the patriarch and the others together. Please come here and talk about the separation!"

"Mother……"

Before Jia She could say anything more, the old lady interrupted him and said:

"Mother is not saying that your wife can't manage the house well, but that the two households are always difficult to manage. When we separate, we each take care of our own yards. The servants are easy to discipline. It's just that you don't divide the house for now, and you know you That second younger brother doesn't understand vulgar things and the world, so he still needs your protection for the time being, otherwise he will be deceived as soon as he goes out. It will be bad for our general's mansion if he really gets a bad reputation. Say two Jia characters!"

Jia She and his wife thought of Jia Zheng's pedantic, peaceful words and deeds.If they don't care, they are convinced that such a thing will really happen!

After talking to the couple for a while, the old lady went back to her yard not far from Rongxi Hall.Then someone went to call Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng, who was reciting poems with the Kemen of the Qing Dynasty, would ignore it if someone else called him.But the old lady told him to go over, but he had to go.Since he came back from pawning items with his elder brother, he has been learning to refuse some requests from some waiting customers.In the past, if he refused, he would feel ashamed, but now he feels that no matter how embarrassing he is, it is even more embarrassing than bargaining with others outside like his elder brother!

It was also from that time that he also knew some prices.Thinking of when the Wang family was in charge, he often took money, regardless of whether it would exceed the family or not.Thinking about it now, it was also wrong for the Wang family to be greedy for money from Mr. Mo.

Of course, Jia Zheng didn't even know that Jia Amnesty was going to the palace to face the Holy Spirit today.He didn't know until he got to the old lady's room and the old lady said.Hearing what the old lady said about the separation of the family, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and only heard the old lady continue to say:

"You are all married and have children. Although Jia Wang did something wrong, she didn't make a mistake so much that she needs to leave. That is not good for Zhu Er and Yuan Chun. She has also been thinking about it in the Buddhist hall for more than two years. After the separation, You still need a female housekeeper. If she continues to make mistakes, let’s talk about it! You are also a filial piety, and you have gone to thank your elder brother. Starting tomorrow, you will also go out to do things. Don’t think I feel ashamed of my small official position. No matter how small the official position is, your father asked for it for you! Mother doesn't ask you to do much, first of all, you can do your best for this small official..."

Jia Zheng understood what his mother meant: If he looked down on that official position, he would be disrespectful to his father.If he can't even be a small official, what else can he talk about?He came from the Duke's Mansion, but that was due to his father; while the title was passed on to his elder brother, it is now the General's Mansion.That means he is now attached to the General's Mansion.Don't say that he looks down on others when you go to the government office, it's good if others can look up to him...

In short, the old lady told him a lot of human accidents, many of which he could not accept. After thinking about it, he felt that what the old lady said was not wrong.

"...Okay, there's only so much mother can tell you. You, go back and think about whether I'm wrong."

Jia Zheng bid farewell to the old lady, went back to his yard, and thought carefully about what the old lady said.Even when Jia Yuanchun went to the Buddhist hall to accompany Wang and called him several times, he didn't recover.His reaction made Jia Yuanchun very sad and disappointed.
