Mother Jia spoke, and Mrs. Xing naturally did not dare to delay, and hurriedly pushed Yingchun forward to help Mother Jia go to the garden.Jia Amnesty's back garden covers an area of more than 25 mu, excluding the [-] mu of the Humble Garden, there is also a large garden of more than [-] mu, where Yingchun and Xichun now live.
As for Yingchun and Xichun, Jia She already attached great importance to them.Yingchun grows so big that she doesn't even have her own small courtyard. She used to live in a back room in Jiamu's garden. Not only is it next door to Tanchun, but there are only two rooms. The children can't move.
Instead, when they came to Jia She, Madam Xing not only reserved east and west rooms for the two sisters in her own yard, but also had their independent yards in the back garden. There are a total of more than ten houses, large and small, and there is an independent garden in the small courtyard.
Yingchun is very satisfied with this. Now, if she wants to live with Mrs. Xing, she can live with Mrs. Xing, and if she wants to live in the back garden, she can go back to the back garden.
Xichun is even more so.Although she lost her mother at birth, Mrs. Xing liked her and often held her in her arms.With Mrs. Xing doting on her, the people below did not dare to fight with her. She even felt more comfortable than when she was in Ningguo Mansion.
Yingchun and Xichun were very satisfied with their current life, but they didn't want to. When Shi Xiangyun heard that the garden was only more than [-] acres in total, he said directly: "This garden is really exquisite."
It's almost too small to say directly.
Xue Baochai's eyes flashed.
Jia Baoyu ignored it, but ran to the front, touched a stele with the word "Fu", and said: "This Sanduo Rock got its name because of the word "Fu?"
Mrs. Wang was amazed: "Baoyu, you are talking nonsense again!"
Jia Baoyu said: "Ma'am, I'm not talking nonsense. Look at the word "Fu", does the left half look like a multi-character? Then there is the right half, which is Zi, Tian, and Shou. Together, it means Duozi, Tada, and Shou." ? Having many sons, Tada and longevity is a blessing, this kind of ingenuity is truly rare."
Jia Mu said: "It's not a coincidence. Who wrote this stele? Ask him to write one for us later."
It's just right to put it in the family-saving villa.
Mrs. Xing said: "Mrs. Tai, this word was written by our grandfather."
When Mrs. Xing called her Mrs. Tai, Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize that Mrs. Tai was calling her, and Mrs. Jia was referring to Jia She.
Jia's mother was so bored, she said: "I thought, the boss has been absurd all these years, and he has already lost everything he learned when he was a child."
Aunt Xue said: "It's really unexpected that the Elder Master still has such abilities."
Aunt Xue is Mrs. Wang's younger sister, so she naturally called someone after Mrs. Wang.
Only then did Wang Xifeng say: "Could it be that Aunt Xue has forgotten that our great-grandfather once served as the companion of the old Prince Yizhong. Because the old Prince Yizhong broke something, he became discouraged and stopped caring about world affairs. In terms of upbringing, we The grandfather read the book with the princes in the palace, let alone other things, could it be bad?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Girl Feng, why did you call your aunt too?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Since I'm married, I naturally act according to the rules here. Second old lady, am I still wrong?"
Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, Mrs. Wang's status has changed drastically, and no one has talked to her like this for many days, so she was taken aback at that time.
No, before she got angry, Mother Jia had already said: "That's right, a woman is a member of her husband's family after she gets married, and she should abide by the rules of her husband's family."
Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Old lady, my lord's garden is nice and quiet. The moss marks on Sanduo Rock are thick or light, it seems that it was not a day's work. Sister Feng, do you know the reason?"
"This Sanduoyan was there before we moved in, but we don't know what it's called, because our grandpa mentioned a word of blessing, so it was called Sanduoyan. It was originally built with Taihu Lake stones, and there is a hidden There are two big safe tanks, and two pipes are buried, so even in summer, there are still layers of moss on the Sanduo Rock, which is a good place to cool off in summer. Because of your second sister and fourth sister After moving in, our great-grandfather stopped coming here. In the past, great-grandfather liked to fish by the pond in front of him most.”
When Jia Baoyu heard about it, he ran forward immediately to see the koi in the pond.
Shi Xiangyun followed Guoruo, and then called out: "Sister Feng, why is this pond such a color?"
I saw that the water was not transparent at all, but green, and there were no fish in it.
Xue Baochai hurriedly told her: "Sister Yun, the rules in Beijing are like this, not just any family can have running water. Since the founding of this dynasty, apart from the royal palace and various palaces, only the mansion of the founder of the country has had running water. .”
This is another layer of evidence of the Jia family's prominence.
According to the national law, each family does not need the emperor's approval to dig a well, but each family needs the emperor's approval to build a garden to draw running water. Therefore, not to mention ordinary people's homes, even ordinary civil and military officials, there is basically only stagnant water in the back garden of their homes.However, Rongguo Mansion back then was the same as Huifang Garden in Ningguo Mansion. There was running water in the back garden, so that in Jia Baoyu's impression, a decent house should have running water.
The Lai family's house is large and the back garden is also large, but there is no running water.But this time it was different. This time when Jia Zhengjia built the Shengqin villa, the emperor approved it and allowed running water to be brought into the Shengqin villa.It deepened Jia Baoyu's impression.
Before Xue Baochai spoke, he had no idea that there was such a national law.
While speaking, the group of people had passed through Sanduo Rock, passed Bibo Pool, and arrived at Yingchun's courtyard.Before entering the door, I saw the enchanting female roses in the courtyard, covering the hexagonal pavilion on the right of the center of the courtyard, and a tall tea plant beside it, with fluttering petals, like poetry and songs, and roses, roses, treasures in the garden on the ground. Phase... All kinds of flowers are competing for beauty.
As soon as Jia Baoyu saw the courtyard, he exclaimed: "It smells so good~!"
he likes.
Shi Xiangyun had already pulled him to run ahead.
Holding Yingchun's hand, Jia Mu walked in, looked around, and saw three main rooms above, and two side rooms on the left and right.There are also three rooms in the east wing, while the west wing room has been converted into a flower hall, connected by a verandah with various spider plants hanging under the corridor.
Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This room is fine."
After entering Yingchun's house, Jia's mother was even more satisfied.
I saw that the three rooms were not completely separated, and they were brighter with the azure-colored curtains that looked like smoke and clouds.In the study room to the east, there is a shelf full of books against the north wall, and there are two pianos, large and small.There are a variety of playthings on the Bogu shelf.The Ding kiln fine porcelain vases on several high tables in the corner of the room are matched with different flower arrangements, adding a third of elegance.
When Tanchun saw this room, he quickly pushed Jia Baoyu: "Look, you've been compared."
Where are there so many books in Jia Baoyu's house?It's not that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is reluctant to prepare for him, but Jia Baoyu himself doesn't like it.Except for the Four Books and those miscellaneous books, he didn't like books like the Annotations of the Four Books.Therefore, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang would never provide miscellaneous books, and he wished to burn all the books such as the Anthology of Four Books, so that there were very few books on his bookshelf.
Jia Baoyu had never seen Lin Daiyu in the Lin family's study, but seeing Jia Yingchun couldn't sit still in this room.
Seeing Jia Baoyu's appearance, Mrs. Wang felt angry.
She didn't care about Yingchun who served tea on a small tray, and said, "This is the second girl's room? Could it be Brother Cong's room?"
Mrs. Xing hesitated, and Wang Xifeng rushed to say: "Second old lady, not only my younger sister's house is like this, but also my fourth younger sister's house. You go to see my two children, how old they are, our grandfather has already prepared them. Our grandfather Having said that, the girls in our family should read as much as the boys. It’s just that my two children are too young, and those books are all forgiving to me. It’s a pity that I can only read a few baskets of characters in Douba. Books, I can’t even finish reading them in a year.”
Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Wang said: "This is the rule of the Lin family, right? Your father-in-law is also true. He learns from the Lin family everywhere."
Mrs. Xing said: "If it wasn't for the kindness of the Lin family, why did the old man choose Mrs. Lin among all the young talents in the capital?"
When Jia Mu heard about it, she also laughed.
Yes, like Jia Min, who has been married for 20 years and has not had children. If he is in someone else's family, he is afraid that his wife will be divorced in the name of childlessness.But what about Lin Ruhai?The few concubines he had were also arranged by Jia Min, and in the end they were born with his wife, not with those concubines.
Only this point, stronger than others.
Mother Jia was happy, but Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were not.
Mrs. Wang said: "My sister is good in everything, but the heirs make people worry. By the way, I remember that the Lin family has been passed down for several generations. Could it be..."
Jia Mu immediately became gloomy.
Wang Xifeng said: "How did the second old lady talk about this? My aunt was different from me back then. Our master was in Dingzhou anyway, and it would take half a day to come back. But back then, my aunt and Mrs. Lin were serving their parents-in-law in Beijing. , one is an official outside, one is in the south and the other is in the north, how can my aunt give birth to a child?"
If Jia Min was pregnant at that time, it would be a disgrace to the two families, and the girl from the Jia family would not even want to see anyone.
When Jia Mu heard this, she laughed: "Exactly! The son of the Lin family is promising, but the husband and wife are inevitably separated, so the heir comes too late. There is no way. The second daughter-in-law has never suffered such hardship. So I don't know."
Mrs. Wang's face was pale, and when she looked at Jiamu, she saw Jiamu drinking tea with her head down, as if nothing happened.
After sitting with Jia Yingchun for a while, he went to Xichun's room again.This yard is not far from Yingchun's house. There are five clear mansions with rolling sheds. The house is very spacious, and many exotic flowers and plants are planted outside. She also set up a shelf and planted many stone lotuses.Some are just a single flower in the palm of your hand, planted in a palm-sized light blue stoneware bowl, while others are a single flower, planted in a sauce-colored stoneware pot.
Those rough pottery are nothing more than that, but those stone lotus flowers are not only stylish, but also lush, all of them are delicate and exquisite, very attractive.
When Jia Mu saw these stone lotus flowers, she laughed: "This stone lotus is good for now. In a few days, when the weather gets hot, it will be put away, and it can't be watered, or it will be damaged. Fortunately, there is a shed above. If it rains, I'm afraid it's gone too."
Xichun smiled and said: "Madam Tai really hit the spot. This stone lotus is strange! It doesn't like good soil, but prefers the briquette residue. Other flowers and plants love water, but it is very afraid of water. In the past two years, I don't know how much the plant has been damaged, but sister Feng taught me bit by bit, and this is how I got these things."
Jia Mu said: "I thought you learned how to grow it yourself, but I don't think Feng girl taught you. I remember that it was popular in Beijing for a while in the past. At that time, Feng girl was about the same age as you. I just don't know. She also loves stone lotus."
Aunt Xue said: "Look at what the old lady said, we didn't play with these things when we were young, but we got married later and couldn't be free."
Mother Jia didn't speak.
But Jia Baoyu had already rushed to the shelf, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Hey, these clay pots are interesting, they don't seem to be bought from outside."
Shi Xiangyun wondered, "What's the reason?"
Jia Baoyu replied: "Because the rough pottery is mostly used by ordinary people, it can't be colored. The sauce-colored one is the real color, but this light blue one is specially colored."
This is not something money can buy.Unless it's made to order.
Xichun replied, "I made these clay pots myself."
"Si, did it yourself?"
Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded.
Xichun said: "That's right. Lian's second elder brother has a kiln at home, and it's just a matter of saying to burn some small things for me."
Xue Baochai's eyes widened in surprise.
Aunt Xue said: "Lian'er is really capable."
Mrs. Xing said: "Yes. After all, our great-grandfather is old. He can still work on things like sacrificing the fields, but not on other things. Therefore, the household registration of this mansion has long been handed over to Lian'er. Here It is also his business to buy land property at home."
Hearing this, Li Wan's heart moved.
When discussing marriage, everyone said that Jia Zhu was good, but Jia Lian was not as good.But who would have thought that Jia Zhu has now become a useless person, while Jia Lian has already been able to stand up for the family.
A group of people stayed outside for a long time because of the stone lotus before entering the house.
Entering the house, Jia Baoyu looked east immediately, and saw a large bookshelf piled up to the north like Yingchun, but there was a big bookcase next to the window, which was neatly arranged. There are three rows of pen holders lined up on the ground, such as the number one pen, the second pen, the third pen, the big dye, the middle dye and the small dye, as well as the big southern crab claws, small crab claws, big colored small colored open-faced wicker pens, all kinds There are all the pens that can be used for painting, and the pen holders are filled to the brim. There are also various thick porcelain plates containing various colors of paint, which fill the table.
There is also a wind stove in the ground.
There are only so many things on the surface, and it is even more difficult to say how many things are stored in the cabinet.
Seeing Xichun's house made Jia's mother even more satisfied.
After all, Xichun is the eldest lady of Ningguo Mansion and Jia Zhen's younger sister.If she neglects her, Mother Jia will not look good.Now Mrs. Jia Shexing is so willing to give up Xichun's hobbies, which shows that this child is doing well.
After leaving Xichun's house, the Jicui Terrace is not far away. The Jicui Terrace is backed by a bamboo forest and faces the Fuchi. It is a good place to enjoy the cool air in summer.
At this moment, rice has been placed on the Jicui Terrace, but it is a high table of the same color, and each high table has two storage boxes, and the storage boxes are filled with personal favorites according to personal preferences.
Nothing else, both Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu spoke highly of the fried ice cream.
Without him, novelty.
Mother Jia originally thought the fried ice cream was greasy and didn't like it, but she didn't want Jia Baoyu to strongly recommend it. She tasted it and was surprised:
"This thing, I thought it was hot, how did I know it was ice?"
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "It's just that my daughter-in-law was thinking about it in her free time. She just wanted to find a way with Mrs. Tai, so she bought this. But this thing is oily and cold, so it's just a taste once in a while. On the contrary, ordering soup with this noodle has a little meaning, Mrs. Tai might as well try it."
Mother Jia looked down and saw a bowl of soup made from small lotus pods and lotus leaves.
She immediately called her eldest girl: "Amber, what is this?"
When Jia's mother went out as a guest, Yuanyang, her confidant, naturally stayed to watch the house, and those who followed her were often the same but inferior Hu Po and others.
Hu Po groaned, and said: "Old lady, this is the pastry of small lotus leaves and lotus leaves printed out of dyed dough. It's so delicate. If you don't look carefully, you may think it's real."
Although she is a girl, Wan Lian has seen her before.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "This must be Feng girl's idea."
Mrs. Xing said: "It's not her. Speaking of which, Feng girl should be hit a few times. I said that since she is healthy, she should learn how to be a housekeeper, but in the end she was lazy and talked about her sister! Said that we welcome the girl to be thirteen this year, and it will be fourteen next year. We should learn all these things, so that we can talk about marriage in the future. The truth is one set, and I was confused. Until I went back to the house Only then did I realize it! You said this child! This Linglong mind is playing tricks on me to avoid laziness!"
Mother Jia laughed too.
Jia's mother said: "Young girl Feng is right. The second girl is thirteen this year, and she is the age to see each other." She sighed again: "I remember that when the second girl first landed, she was just this big, and she was as old as a girl. A kitten is like a kitten, and born weak. Before Baoyu was born, she was the only one in my yard besides my mother. She is also well-behaved. Time flies so fast."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Look at what Mrs. Tai said. No matter what happens, you are the old lord of our family. In the future, when my younger sister gives birth to a child, it will be different, so I will honor you?"
It made Jia Mu laugh and scold: "Just now you said you are polite! Now you are talking nonsense again! The second girl is someone else's family after she gets married. Even if she wants to be filial, she will be respected by her mother-in-law. But you are so used to it." If you are lazy, you should learn how to honor your mother-in-law."
It provoked Wang Xifeng to raise her voice and said, "Mrs. Tai! I have always been very filial."
Mother Jia laughed again.
She said: "By the way, eldest daughter-in-law, you have to hurry up about the second girl's marriage."
When Jia's mother said this, she immediately provoked two people.
When she sent Jia Yuanchun into the palace, Mrs. Wang secretly planned that if Yuanchun couldn't give birth to a child, she would let Yingchun enter the palace to give birth.Jia Zheng also told Jia's mother about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty would even make a fuss about separating the family and establishing a clan.Now that Jia Amnesty has already become a patriarch, Yuan Chun naturally cannot borrow Ying Chun's belly.
After all, Mrs. Wang is Yuan Chun's biological mother, and she loves her daughter dearly.Her daughter has been cooking oil in the palace for so many years, and it is easy to get ahead, not to mention Yuan Chun herself, even Mrs. Wang herself is unwilling to see other women enter the palace and share the favor of her daughter.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang was really relieved that Jia Yingchun would not enter the palace.But while she breathed a sigh of relief, there was still a sense of sadness in her heart that couldn't go away.
If her daughter hadn't been sent to the palace at the beginning, she would probably be the same as Li Wan and Wang Xifeng today. The children would run around, right?
Not only Mrs. Wang was complicated, but even Aunt Xue was very embarrassed, and Xue Baochai was secretly angry.
It is clear that Yingchun is not too young to discuss marriage, but is it actually talking about Xue Baochai?You know, Xue Baochai is the same age as Yingchun, but was born in the first month of the lunar year, no matter how big or small, Yingchun always calls her sister.Mother Jia urged Mrs. Xing to hurry up to welcome the spring, so she was beating their mother and daughter!
If it was in the original book, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai might still feel guilty, but now, they don't feel that there is anything unworthy of Jia Baoyu in themselves.
In the original book, the Rongguo Mansion is still there, and Jia Baoyu is the young master of the Duke's mansion, and has an older sister who is a noble concubine.In contrast, Xue's family is only a merchant's family after all.One is from a noble family, and the other is from a merchant's family. It is true that the family is not the right one.
But now?The Rongguo Mansion is gone, Jia Zheng has been dismissed from office, Jia Zhu has no fame, and Jia Baoyu is just a commoner.Thinking of her, Xue Baochai, is it because her family background is not worthy, or her appearance is not worthy, or is her dowry not worthy?
Thinking of the several 10 taels of silver that Xue's family had thrown in for Jia Yuanchun's family-bestowing villa, Xue Baochai also felt confident.
Xue Baochai thought:
——Old lady, your good son and daughter-in-law borrowed 30 taels of vain money from our family in order to repair your mother’s family-saving villa. Do you really or falsely don’t know?
Xue Baochai knew very well what Jia's mother meant when she took Shi Xiangyun over from time to time. Maybe it was because Jia Min didn't get into the trap and kept avoiding Jia's house. When talking about the golden jade, it is about Shi Xiangyun's golden unicorn.
Xue Baochai had no resentment in his heart, it was a lie.
Her first choice for entering Beijing was to enter the palace. If she hadn't been tricked, why bother to stare at Jia Baoyu? !Jia Yuanchun looks decent, but the little prince doesn't know where he is yet!This madam despises them!It's really smooth to pick up the bowl to eat, and put down the bowl to scold your mother!
I only heard Xue Baochai say: "Sister Feng, why don't you invite Mrs. Lin and Sister Lin?"
Her goal is Second Grandma Bao, and Jia Min objects, so Lin Daiyu will definitely not become her enemy.On the contrary, Lin Daiyu's appearance will definitely move Jia Baoyu and give Shi Xiangyun an absolute blow.
As for Mrs. Wang.
Xue Baochai is very sure that Mrs. Wang has a heart for Jia Min, and she will never want Jia Min's daughter to be her daughter-in-law.
Shi Xiangyun immediately turned his head.
Wang Xifeng said: "Look at what Sister Bao said, our old lady sent a post to invite Mrs. Tai and the wife of the Jia family, Miss Miss. Although my aunt is close, her surname is Lin."
Mother Jia almost laughed.
This blow was really serious, and he almost said that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai came here uninvited.
Xue Baochai didn't expect Wang Xifeng to answer like that, and almost couldn't hold back.
Aunt Xue said: "Could it be that Miss Lin is sick again?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Sister Lin is sick again. Sister Lin is in good health. It's just that my aunt is coming back, and my aunt's house is in chaos, so I don't have time to relax. The Lin family values their children's upbringing most, not to mention Brother Lin. Even Sister Lin has to prepare my uncle to come back and check his homework. How can there be so much free time!"
When Jia Mu heard this, she also became concerned: "Your aunt is coming back? Is this really true?"
"Of course it's serious." Wang Xifeng said, "My aunt has been in the position of inspecting the salt censor in Yangzhou for four or five years. Even with the holy family, there is no reason to continue. Besides, this envoy is not my aunt's return. When Jing is reporting on his duties, my aunt is coming back, so it must be because of his resignation."
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he immediately became happy: "So, sister Lin is going to stay in Beijing for a long time?"
Wang Xifeng said: "It's hard to say. If my aunt doesn't stay in the capital but is sent out, my aunt will definitely go to work with my aunt."
Jia Baoyu sighed again:
"Why is my aunt like this? Isn't it good to be innocent?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Baoyu, you only know Lulu, but you don't know my aunt, including our grandpa who learned in the palace to cultivate himself, govern the family, govern the country and the world, and my aunt became an official in order to serve the country. Why don't you take a look , the imperial court needs money everywhere to build water conservancy projects and relieve disaster victims. However, every family owes the imperial court a shortfall. In recent years, it is also thanks to my aunt who has tried his best in salt administration. Otherwise, if you count by yourself, the imperial court's income is only But how much does it cost?"
Jia Baoyu hurriedly bowed to Wang Xifeng: "It turned out that I was narrow-minded in the past, thank you, Sister Feng, for your advice."
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "In the past, we told you many times but you didn't listen. Why did you listen to Sister Feng once she said it?"
Jia Baoyu said, "Sister Feng is right."
As Jia Baoyu grew up, he often went out, and occasionally rested in teahouses and restaurants. Although he didn't eat outside tea, he liked to listen to outsiders talk, so he knew a little bit about it.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about how many things the current emperor has done to collect the deficit when he was still a prince. When he heard about it, he was very emotional.It's a pity that he lives in such a family.
Jia Baoyu was only concerned with emotion, but he didn't think Mrs. Wang was already full of anger.
In front of Mrs. Jiamu Xing, Mrs. Wang didn't get angry, but when she went home and returned to her room at night, she couldn't help it.
"Bastard!"
Mrs. Wang directly smashed a teacup.
The girls were scared to death, Mrs. Wang shouted: "Back off."
The girls scrambled to their feet and stepped back quickly.
Mrs. Wang sat alone under the lamp, staring blankly at herself in the vanity mirror. It was a middle-aged woman who looked kindly and kindly, with wrinkled face and drooping eyelids. No matter how old she looked, only her beautiful features could be vaguely seen. To the shadow of the past.
——When did it become like this?
Mrs. Wang looked back on her life, full of sadness.
When she was young, she was as bright and lively as Wang Xifeng, but when did she become the dull look she is now?Is it because of the powerful mother-in-law above?Or is it because of the outstanding sister-in-law from the Taifu's family, or the favored and tricky sister-in-law?
Mrs. Wang was full of worries and didn't want to. Her companion Wu Xindeng came to the house and said cautiously: "Madam, here, the master said, the funds for the project are not enough."
Mrs. Wang's face at that time could eat people!
She felt like she was married to a trash!
At the beginning, she felt that Jia Zheng was inferior to Jia Amnesty in every way, but in the end she married the two old relatives anyway.As a result, Jia Zheng simply liked her good looks, and when she got older, Jia Zheng would not come to her room.When we were in Rongguo Mansion, everyone said that Jia She was lustful, but Mrs. Wang said that Jia Zheng and Jia She were just ordinary people.Moreover, Jia Amnesty only made trouble on the bright side, as for Jia Zheng...
Mrs. Wang was full of anger when she thought about it.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang had changed from her usual moodiness and anger, Wu Xindeng's family became even more timid: "Ma'am?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Take the master's post and go to the household department to borrow money."
"This, I'm afraid it won't work..."
If Jia Zheng still has any official positions, the money is easy to borrow.But Jia Zheng has already been dismissed, it is Bai Ding, and his posts may not be able to borrow money.
"Then borrow it in the name of the old lady. Otherwise, you can borrow it in the name of the empress."
Who has so much money to buy this false excitement?
Seeing this, Wu Xindeng's family didn't dare to talk too much, so they could only back out.
After arriving at the gate, Aunt Zhao raised the curtain, and suddenly she heard Mrs. Wang's voice inside: "Where's the master?"
Wu Xin went to the house to be more careful: "If you go back to your wife, master, master is in Aunt Zhao's room."
Mrs. Wang heard that she almost smashed the teacup in her hand again.
Co-authored Just My Daughter Visiting Parents.
Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "Get ready, I'm going to see the old lady."
In any case, she wanted to settle the matter between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.
Tired all day today, she was sleepy instead. Mother Jia didn't fall asleep, but reclined in the warm pavilion. When she heard that Mrs. Wang had come, she was very puzzled.
Is there anything you can't say tomorrow?
But thinking that Mrs. Wang might have come to visit her family's villa, Jia's mother had to get up.
When Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, Mother Jia was also stunned:
"Again, no more money?"
"Yes, old lady."
This is why Mrs. Wang looks down on Jia Zheng.In Mrs. Wang's opinion, rockery, lakes and stones are not worth a lot of money. How come they are in Jia Zheng's hands? What can be done with 30 taels of silver? He spent 60 taels to do this. half!
Which family has so much gold and silver for him to squander!
After Mother Jia asked the girls to retreat, she didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he said, "What are your plans?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, I have already borrowed from my relatives and friends. If I borrow more, I am afraid I will not be able to borrow much. My daughter-in-law is thinking, either ask the treasury to borrow money, or you can only borrow from Xue's family."
"You mean, Baoyu's marriage?"
"Yes."
"Bastard! Are you such a mother?! You are humiliating him!"
Seeing that Jia Zhu is a useless person, Jia Lan is still young, and Jia's mother now places all her expectations on Jia Baoyu, how could she let Xue Baochai in?
Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, Baoyu is a piece of meat that fell from the daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law is eager to give him the best thing in the world, so how can she abuse him? But old lady, there is no way for the daughter-in-law. This family-friendly villa If we don’t repair it well, the empress’s face will be dull, and others will only think of us as ordinary people. Only this provincial family’s villa is here, and others will not dare to neglect us if they see us as relatives of the emperor!”
Mother Jia sighed and said, "But Xue's family background is too low..."
Mrs. Wang said: "It is because Xue's family is low that they are willing to subsidize."
When Jia Mu heard about it, she sighed and said, "Baoyu is still young."
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say: "My daughter-in-law didn't even think about making an appointment with Baoyu now, but I just hope that you, old lady..."
I hope Mother Jia will do well, but I hope Mother Jia will treat Xue Baochai better so that the Xue family can spend more money.
Jia Mu said, "Why is our family here?"
It's not that Jia's mother said that the old concubine in the palace is still her boudoir friend in the old days.Before Qin Keqing's funeral, even the king of Beijing Jing came to the road sacrifice in person, and invited Jia Baoyu to play.One by one, which one is taken out, won't people be able to talk about it for ten days and a half months?How come the Jia family is in such a state of embarrassment now that Mrs. Wang said it?Do you have to marry a businesswoman to come in?
Jia Mu hesitated for a while, then said: "Forget it, you can borrow money from my post. As for what you said, I don't agree!"
Jia's mother disagreed with the golden and jade marriage, and Mrs. Wang had no choice.Fortunately, after taking Jia's mother's post, the money was quickly borrowed, and Jia Yuanchun worked overtime on the project of the relative's house.
Let's talk about Lin Ruhai, when he returned to the capital, he first went to the palace to report on his work as usual, and then he visited relatives and friends, and then he knew that Jia Mu and Jia Zheng had borrowed money again.
Lin Ruhai quickly told his wife, and even visited Jia Amnesty.
Jia She said: "I thought Mrs. Tai was just eating, drinking, and flowers. Now I know that her old man's flowers are different from others."
Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "Brother brother?"
Jia She said: "Brother-in-law, I won't say anything else. Shen Sheng Chong'er, which one do you want to be?"
Lin Ruhai was terrified.
He immediately realized what Jia She was talking about.
Lin Ruhai quickly became active, and soon after, he became the governor of Lingnan, and he took his family to Lingnan, and he also brought Jia Cong who was stuffed by Jia Sheteri.
On the other hand, after all the sweet potatoes were harvested in the autumn of this year, Wang Xifeng also got the news that Mrs. Wang borrowed a total of 120 million taels of silver from the court in the name of Jia Mu.
In addition to the money sent by each family when Jia Yuanchun became the concubine, Wang Xifeng didn't want to know at all, why it still cost so much money for this family-saving villa of only 420 mu without buying additional land.
How is this money spent?
The author has something to say: Guqin should be hung up when not in use.Because if it is placed flat, the surface of the piano is likely to be concave due to gravity, which will affect the tone.
Therefore, the more antique the guqin is, the more it cannot be placed flat.When not in use, hanging storage is the correct posture.

As for Yingchun and Xichun, Jia She already attached great importance to them.Yingchun grows so big that she doesn't even have her own small courtyard. She used to live in a back room in Jiamu's garden. Not only is it next door to Tanchun, but there are only two rooms. The children can't move.
Instead, when they came to Jia She, Madam Xing not only reserved east and west rooms for the two sisters in her own yard, but also had their independent yards in the back garden. There are a total of more than ten houses, large and small, and there is an independent garden in the small courtyard.
Yingchun is very satisfied with this. Now, if she wants to live with Mrs. Xing, she can live with Mrs. Xing, and if she wants to live in the back garden, she can go back to the back garden.
Xichun is even more so.Although she lost her mother at birth, Mrs. Xing liked her and often held her in her arms.With Mrs. Xing doting on her, the people below did not dare to fight with her. She even felt more comfortable than when she was in Ningguo Mansion.
Yingchun and Xichun were very satisfied with their current life, but they didn't want to. When Shi Xiangyun heard that the garden was only more than [-] acres in total, he said directly: "This garden is really exquisite."
It's almost too small to say directly.
Xue Baochai's eyes flashed.
Jia Baoyu ignored it, but ran to the front, touched a stele with the word "Fu", and said: "This Sanduo Rock got its name because of the word "Fu?"
Mrs. Wang was amazed: "Baoyu, you are talking nonsense again!"
Jia Baoyu said: "Ma'am, I'm not talking nonsense. Look at the word "Fu", does the left half look like a multi-character? Then there is the right half, which is Zi, Tian, and Shou. Together, it means Duozi, Tada, and Shou." ? Having many sons, Tada and longevity is a blessing, this kind of ingenuity is truly rare."
Jia Mu said: "It's not a coincidence. Who wrote this stele? Ask him to write one for us later."
It's just right to put it in the family-saving villa.
Mrs. Xing said: "Mrs. Tai, this word was written by our grandfather."
When Mrs. Xing called her Mrs. Tai, Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize that Mrs. Tai was calling her, and Mrs. Jia was referring to Jia She.
Jia's mother was so bored, she said: "I thought, the boss has been absurd all these years, and he has already lost everything he learned when he was a child."
Aunt Xue said: "It's really unexpected that the Elder Master still has such abilities."
Aunt Xue is Mrs. Wang's younger sister, so she naturally called someone after Mrs. Wang.
Only then did Wang Xifeng say: "Could it be that Aunt Xue has forgotten that our great-grandfather once served as the companion of the old Prince Yizhong. Because the old Prince Yizhong broke something, he became discouraged and stopped caring about world affairs. In terms of upbringing, we The grandfather read the book with the princes in the palace, let alone other things, could it be bad?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Girl Feng, why did you call your aunt too?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Since I'm married, I naturally act according to the rules here. Second old lady, am I still wrong?"
Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, Mrs. Wang's status has changed drastically, and no one has talked to her like this for many days, so she was taken aback at that time.
No, before she got angry, Mother Jia had already said: "That's right, a woman is a member of her husband's family after she gets married, and she should abide by the rules of her husband's family."
Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Old lady, my lord's garden is nice and quiet. The moss marks on Sanduo Rock are thick or light, it seems that it was not a day's work. Sister Feng, do you know the reason?"
"This Sanduoyan was there before we moved in, but we don't know what it's called, because our grandpa mentioned a word of blessing, so it was called Sanduoyan. It was originally built with Taihu Lake stones, and there is a hidden There are two big safe tanks, and two pipes are buried, so even in summer, there are still layers of moss on the Sanduo Rock, which is a good place to cool off in summer. Because of your second sister and fourth sister After moving in, our great-grandfather stopped coming here. In the past, great-grandfather liked to fish by the pond in front of him most.”
When Jia Baoyu heard about it, he ran forward immediately to see the koi in the pond.
Shi Xiangyun followed Guoruo, and then called out: "Sister Feng, why is this pond such a color?"
I saw that the water was not transparent at all, but green, and there were no fish in it.
Xue Baochai hurriedly told her: "Sister Yun, the rules in Beijing are like this, not just any family can have running water. Since the founding of this dynasty, apart from the royal palace and various palaces, only the mansion of the founder of the country has had running water. .”
This is another layer of evidence of the Jia family's prominence.
According to the national law, each family does not need the emperor's approval to dig a well, but each family needs the emperor's approval to build a garden to draw running water. Therefore, not to mention ordinary people's homes, even ordinary civil and military officials, there is basically only stagnant water in the back garden of their homes.However, Rongguo Mansion back then was the same as Huifang Garden in Ningguo Mansion. There was running water in the back garden, so that in Jia Baoyu's impression, a decent house should have running water.
The Lai family's house is large and the back garden is also large, but there is no running water.But this time it was different. This time when Jia Zhengjia built the Shengqin villa, the emperor approved it and allowed running water to be brought into the Shengqin villa.It deepened Jia Baoyu's impression.
Before Xue Baochai spoke, he had no idea that there was such a national law.
While speaking, the group of people had passed through Sanduo Rock, passed Bibo Pool, and arrived at Yingchun's courtyard.Before entering the door, I saw the enchanting female roses in the courtyard, covering the hexagonal pavilion on the right of the center of the courtyard, and a tall tea plant beside it, with fluttering petals, like poetry and songs, and roses, roses, treasures in the garden on the ground. Phase... All kinds of flowers are competing for beauty.
As soon as Jia Baoyu saw the courtyard, he exclaimed: "It smells so good~!"
he likes.
Shi Xiangyun had already pulled him to run ahead.
Holding Yingchun's hand, Jia Mu walked in, looked around, and saw three main rooms above, and two side rooms on the left and right.There are also three rooms in the east wing, while the west wing room has been converted into a flower hall, connected by a verandah with various spider plants hanging under the corridor.
Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction, and said, "This room is fine."
After entering Yingchun's house, Jia's mother was even more satisfied.
I saw that the three rooms were not completely separated, and they were brighter with the azure-colored curtains that looked like smoke and clouds.In the study room to the east, there is a shelf full of books against the north wall, and there are two pianos, large and small.There are a variety of playthings on the Bogu shelf.The Ding kiln fine porcelain vases on several high tables in the corner of the room are matched with different flower arrangements, adding a third of elegance.
When Tanchun saw this room, he quickly pushed Jia Baoyu: "Look, you've been compared."
Where are there so many books in Jia Baoyu's house?It's not that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang is reluctant to prepare for him, but Jia Baoyu himself doesn't like it.Except for the Four Books and those miscellaneous books, he didn't like books like the Annotations of the Four Books.Therefore, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang would never provide miscellaneous books, and he wished to burn all the books such as the Anthology of Four Books, so that there were very few books on his bookshelf.
Jia Baoyu had never seen Lin Daiyu in the Lin family's study, but seeing Jia Yingchun couldn't sit still in this room.
Seeing Jia Baoyu's appearance, Mrs. Wang felt angry.
She didn't care about Yingchun who served tea on a small tray, and said, "This is the second girl's room? Could it be Brother Cong's room?"
Mrs. Xing hesitated, and Wang Xifeng rushed to say: "Second old lady, not only my younger sister's house is like this, but also my fourth younger sister's house. You go to see my two children, how old they are, our grandfather has already prepared them. Our grandfather Having said that, the girls in our family should read as much as the boys. It’s just that my two children are too young, and those books are all forgiving to me. It’s a pity that I can only read a few baskets of characters in Douba. Books, I can’t even finish reading them in a year.”
Everyone laughed.
Mrs. Wang said: "This is the rule of the Lin family, right? Your father-in-law is also true. He learns from the Lin family everywhere."
Mrs. Xing said: "If it wasn't for the kindness of the Lin family, why did the old man choose Mrs. Lin among all the young talents in the capital?"
When Jia Mu heard about it, she also laughed.
Yes, like Jia Min, who has been married for 20 years and has not had children. If he is in someone else's family, he is afraid that his wife will be divorced in the name of childlessness.But what about Lin Ruhai?The few concubines he had were also arranged by Jia Min, and in the end they were born with his wife, not with those concubines.
Only this point, stronger than others.
Mother Jia was happy, but Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were not.
Mrs. Wang said: "My sister is good in everything, but the heirs make people worry. By the way, I remember that the Lin family has been passed down for several generations. Could it be..."
Jia Mu immediately became gloomy.
Wang Xifeng said: "How did the second old lady talk about this? My aunt was different from me back then. Our master was in Dingzhou anyway, and it would take half a day to come back. But back then, my aunt and Mrs. Lin were serving their parents-in-law in Beijing. , one is an official outside, one is in the south and the other is in the north, how can my aunt give birth to a child?"
If Jia Min was pregnant at that time, it would be a disgrace to the two families, and the girl from the Jia family would not even want to see anyone.
When Jia Mu heard this, she laughed: "Exactly! The son of the Lin family is promising, but the husband and wife are inevitably separated, so the heir comes too late. There is no way. The second daughter-in-law has never suffered such hardship. So I don't know."
Mrs. Wang's face was pale, and when she looked at Jiamu, she saw Jiamu drinking tea with her head down, as if nothing happened.
After sitting with Jia Yingchun for a while, he went to Xichun's room again.This yard is not far from Yingchun's house. There are five clear mansions with rolling sheds. The house is very spacious, and many exotic flowers and plants are planted outside. She also set up a shelf and planted many stone lotuses.Some are just a single flower in the palm of your hand, planted in a palm-sized light blue stoneware bowl, while others are a single flower, planted in a sauce-colored stoneware pot.
Those rough pottery are nothing more than that, but those stone lotus flowers are not only stylish, but also lush, all of them are delicate and exquisite, very attractive.
When Jia Mu saw these stone lotus flowers, she laughed: "This stone lotus is good for now. In a few days, when the weather gets hot, it will be put away, and it can't be watered, or it will be damaged. Fortunately, there is a shed above. If it rains, I'm afraid it's gone too."
Xichun smiled and said: "Madam Tai really hit the spot. This stone lotus is strange! It doesn't like good soil, but prefers the briquette residue. Other flowers and plants love water, but it is very afraid of water. In the past two years, I don't know how much the plant has been damaged, but sister Feng taught me bit by bit, and this is how I got these things."
Jia Mu said: "I thought you learned how to grow it yourself, but I don't think Feng girl taught you. I remember that it was popular in Beijing for a while in the past. At that time, Feng girl was about the same age as you. I just don't know. She also loves stone lotus."
Aunt Xue said: "Look at what the old lady said, we didn't play with these things when we were young, but we got married later and couldn't be free."
Mother Jia didn't speak.
But Jia Baoyu had already rushed to the shelf, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Hey, these clay pots are interesting, they don't seem to be bought from outside."
Shi Xiangyun wondered, "What's the reason?"
Jia Baoyu replied: "Because the rough pottery is mostly used by ordinary people, it can't be colored. The sauce-colored one is the real color, but this light blue one is specially colored."
This is not something money can buy.Unless it's made to order.
Xichun replied, "I made these clay pots myself."
"Si, did it yourself?"
Jia Baoyu was dumbfounded.
Xichun said: "That's right. Lian's second elder brother has a kiln at home, and it's just a matter of saying to burn some small things for me."
Xue Baochai's eyes widened in surprise.
Aunt Xue said: "Lian'er is really capable."
Mrs. Xing said: "Yes. After all, our great-grandfather is old. He can still work on things like sacrificing the fields, but not on other things. Therefore, the household registration of this mansion has long been handed over to Lian'er. Here It is also his business to buy land property at home."
Hearing this, Li Wan's heart moved.
When discussing marriage, everyone said that Jia Zhu was good, but Jia Lian was not as good.But who would have thought that Jia Zhu has now become a useless person, while Jia Lian has already been able to stand up for the family.
A group of people stayed outside for a long time because of the stone lotus before entering the house.
Entering the house, Jia Baoyu looked east immediately, and saw a large bookshelf piled up to the north like Yingchun, but there was a big bookcase next to the window, which was neatly arranged. There are three rows of pen holders lined up on the ground, such as the number one pen, the second pen, the third pen, the big dye, the middle dye and the small dye, as well as the big southern crab claws, small crab claws, big colored small colored open-faced wicker pens, all kinds There are all the pens that can be used for painting, and the pen holders are filled to the brim. There are also various thick porcelain plates containing various colors of paint, which fill the table.
There is also a wind stove in the ground.
There are only so many things on the surface, and it is even more difficult to say how many things are stored in the cabinet.
Seeing Xichun's house made Jia's mother even more satisfied.
After all, Xichun is the eldest lady of Ningguo Mansion and Jia Zhen's younger sister.If she neglects her, Mother Jia will not look good.Now Mrs. Jia Shexing is so willing to give up Xichun's hobbies, which shows that this child is doing well.
After leaving Xichun's house, the Jicui Terrace is not far away. The Jicui Terrace is backed by a bamboo forest and faces the Fuchi. It is a good place to enjoy the cool air in summer.
At this moment, rice has been placed on the Jicui Terrace, but it is a high table of the same color, and each high table has two storage boxes, and the storage boxes are filled with personal favorites according to personal preferences.
Nothing else, both Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu spoke highly of the fried ice cream.
Without him, novelty.
Mother Jia originally thought the fried ice cream was greasy and didn't like it, but she didn't want Jia Baoyu to strongly recommend it. She tasted it and was surprised:
"This thing, I thought it was hot, how did I know it was ice?"
Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "It's just that my daughter-in-law was thinking about it in her free time. She just wanted to find a way with Mrs. Tai, so she bought this. But this thing is oily and cold, so it's just a taste once in a while. On the contrary, ordering soup with this noodle has a little meaning, Mrs. Tai might as well try it."
Mother Jia looked down and saw a bowl of soup made from small lotus pods and lotus leaves.
She immediately called her eldest girl: "Amber, what is this?"
When Jia's mother went out as a guest, Yuanyang, her confidant, naturally stayed to watch the house, and those who followed her were often the same but inferior Hu Po and others.
Hu Po groaned, and said: "Old lady, this is the pastry of small lotus leaves and lotus leaves printed out of dyed dough. It's so delicate. If you don't look carefully, you may think it's real."
Although she is a girl, Wan Lian has seen her before.
Jia Mu smiled and said, "This must be Feng girl's idea."
Mrs. Xing said: "It's not her. Speaking of which, Feng girl should be hit a few times. I said that since she is healthy, she should learn how to be a housekeeper, but in the end she was lazy and talked about her sister! Said that we welcome the girl to be thirteen this year, and it will be fourteen next year. We should learn all these things, so that we can talk about marriage in the future. The truth is one set, and I was confused. Until I went back to the house Only then did I realize it! You said this child! This Linglong mind is playing tricks on me to avoid laziness!"
Mother Jia laughed too.
Jia's mother said: "Young girl Feng is right. The second girl is thirteen this year, and she is the age to see each other." She sighed again: "I remember that when the second girl first landed, she was just this big, and she was as old as a girl. A kitten is like a kitten, and born weak. Before Baoyu was born, she was the only one in my yard besides my mother. She is also well-behaved. Time flies so fast."
Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Look at what Mrs. Tai said. No matter what happens, you are the old lord of our family. In the future, when my younger sister gives birth to a child, it will be different, so I will honor you?"
It made Jia Mu laugh and scold: "Just now you said you are polite! Now you are talking nonsense again! The second girl is someone else's family after she gets married. Even if she wants to be filial, she will be respected by her mother-in-law. But you are so used to it." If you are lazy, you should learn how to honor your mother-in-law."
It provoked Wang Xifeng to raise her voice and said, "Mrs. Tai! I have always been very filial."
Mother Jia laughed again.
She said: "By the way, eldest daughter-in-law, you have to hurry up about the second girl's marriage."
When Jia's mother said this, she immediately provoked two people.
When she sent Jia Yuanchun into the palace, Mrs. Wang secretly planned that if Yuanchun couldn't give birth to a child, she would let Yingchun enter the palace to give birth.Jia Zheng also told Jia's mother about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Jia Amnesty would even make a fuss about separating the family and establishing a clan.Now that Jia Amnesty has already become a patriarch, Yuan Chun naturally cannot borrow Ying Chun's belly.
After all, Mrs. Wang is Yuan Chun's biological mother, and she loves her daughter dearly.Her daughter has been cooking oil in the palace for so many years, and it is easy to get ahead, not to mention Yuan Chun herself, even Mrs. Wang herself is unwilling to see other women enter the palace and share the favor of her daughter.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang was really relieved that Jia Yingchun would not enter the palace.But while she breathed a sigh of relief, there was still a sense of sadness in her heart that couldn't go away.
If her daughter hadn't been sent to the palace at the beginning, she would probably be the same as Li Wan and Wang Xifeng today. The children would run around, right?
Not only Mrs. Wang was complicated, but even Aunt Xue was very embarrassed, and Xue Baochai was secretly angry.
It is clear that Yingchun is not too young to discuss marriage, but is it actually talking about Xue Baochai?You know, Xue Baochai is the same age as Yingchun, but was born in the first month of the lunar year, no matter how big or small, Yingchun always calls her sister.Mother Jia urged Mrs. Xing to hurry up to welcome the spring, so she was beating their mother and daughter!
If it was in the original book, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai might still feel guilty, but now, they don't feel that there is anything unworthy of Jia Baoyu in themselves.
In the original book, the Rongguo Mansion is still there, and Jia Baoyu is the young master of the Duke's mansion, and has an older sister who is a noble concubine.In contrast, Xue's family is only a merchant's family after all.One is from a noble family, and the other is from a merchant's family. It is true that the family is not the right one.
But now?The Rongguo Mansion is gone, Jia Zheng has been dismissed from office, Jia Zhu has no fame, and Jia Baoyu is just a commoner.Thinking of her, Xue Baochai, is it because her family background is not worthy, or her appearance is not worthy, or is her dowry not worthy?
Thinking of the several 10 taels of silver that Xue's family had thrown in for Jia Yuanchun's family-bestowing villa, Xue Baochai also felt confident.
Xue Baochai thought:
——Old lady, your good son and daughter-in-law borrowed 30 taels of vain money from our family in order to repair your mother’s family-saving villa. Do you really or falsely don’t know?
Xue Baochai knew very well what Jia's mother meant when she took Shi Xiangyun over from time to time. Maybe it was because Jia Min didn't get into the trap and kept avoiding Jia's house. When talking about the golden jade, it is about Shi Xiangyun's golden unicorn.
Xue Baochai had no resentment in his heart, it was a lie.
Her first choice for entering Beijing was to enter the palace. If she hadn't been tricked, why bother to stare at Jia Baoyu? !Jia Yuanchun looks decent, but the little prince doesn't know where he is yet!This madam despises them!It's really smooth to pick up the bowl to eat, and put down the bowl to scold your mother!
I only heard Xue Baochai say: "Sister Feng, why don't you invite Mrs. Lin and Sister Lin?"
Her goal is Second Grandma Bao, and Jia Min objects, so Lin Daiyu will definitely not become her enemy.On the contrary, Lin Daiyu's appearance will definitely move Jia Baoyu and give Shi Xiangyun an absolute blow.
As for Mrs. Wang.
Xue Baochai is very sure that Mrs. Wang has a heart for Jia Min, and she will never want Jia Min's daughter to be her daughter-in-law.
Shi Xiangyun immediately turned his head.
Wang Xifeng said: "Look at what Sister Bao said, our old lady sent a post to invite Mrs. Tai and the wife of the Jia family, Miss Miss. Although my aunt is close, her surname is Lin."
Mother Jia almost laughed.
This blow was really serious, and he almost said that Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai came here uninvited.
Xue Baochai didn't expect Wang Xifeng to answer like that, and almost couldn't hold back.
Aunt Xue said: "Could it be that Miss Lin is sick again?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Sister Lin is sick again. Sister Lin is in good health. It's just that my aunt is coming back, and my aunt's house is in chaos, so I don't have time to relax. The Lin family values their children's upbringing most, not to mention Brother Lin. Even Sister Lin has to prepare my uncle to come back and check his homework. How can there be so much free time!"
When Jia Mu heard this, she also became concerned: "Your aunt is coming back? Is this really true?"
"Of course it's serious." Wang Xifeng said, "My aunt has been in the position of inspecting the salt censor in Yangzhou for four or five years. Even with the holy family, there is no reason to continue. Besides, this envoy is not my aunt's return. When Jing is reporting on his duties, my aunt is coming back, so it must be because of his resignation."
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he immediately became happy: "So, sister Lin is going to stay in Beijing for a long time?"
Wang Xifeng said: "It's hard to say. If my aunt doesn't stay in the capital but is sent out, my aunt will definitely go to work with my aunt."
Jia Baoyu sighed again:
"Why is my aunt like this? Isn't it good to be innocent?"
Wang Xifeng said: "Baoyu, you only know Lulu, but you don't know my aunt, including our grandpa who learned in the palace to cultivate himself, govern the family, govern the country and the world, and my aunt became an official in order to serve the country. Why don't you take a look , the imperial court needs money everywhere to build water conservancy projects and relieve disaster victims. However, every family owes the imperial court a shortfall. In recent years, it is also thanks to my aunt who has tried his best in salt administration. Otherwise, if you count by yourself, the imperial court's income is only But how much does it cost?"
Jia Baoyu hurriedly bowed to Wang Xifeng: "It turned out that I was narrow-minded in the past, thank you, Sister Feng, for your advice."
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "In the past, we told you many times but you didn't listen. Why did you listen to Sister Feng once she said it?"
Jia Baoyu said, "Sister Feng is right."
As Jia Baoyu grew up, he often went out, and occasionally rested in teahouses and restaurants. Although he didn't eat outside tea, he liked to listen to outsiders talk, so he knew a little bit about it.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about how many things the current emperor has done to collect the deficit when he was still a prince. When he heard about it, he was very emotional.It's a pity that he lives in such a family.
Jia Baoyu was only concerned with emotion, but he didn't think Mrs. Wang was already full of anger.
In front of Mrs. Jiamu Xing, Mrs. Wang didn't get angry, but when she went home and returned to her room at night, she couldn't help it.
"Bastard!"
Mrs. Wang directly smashed a teacup.
The girls were scared to death, Mrs. Wang shouted: "Back off."
The girls scrambled to their feet and stepped back quickly.
Mrs. Wang sat alone under the lamp, staring blankly at herself in the vanity mirror. It was a middle-aged woman who looked kindly and kindly, with wrinkled face and drooping eyelids. No matter how old she looked, only her beautiful features could be vaguely seen. To the shadow of the past.
——When did it become like this?
Mrs. Wang looked back on her life, full of sadness.
When she was young, she was as bright and lively as Wang Xifeng, but when did she become the dull look she is now?Is it because of the powerful mother-in-law above?Or is it because of the outstanding sister-in-law from the Taifu's family, or the favored and tricky sister-in-law?
Mrs. Wang was full of worries and didn't want to. Her companion Wu Xindeng came to the house and said cautiously: "Madam, here, the master said, the funds for the project are not enough."
Mrs. Wang's face at that time could eat people!
She felt like she was married to a trash!
At the beginning, she felt that Jia Zheng was inferior to Jia Amnesty in every way, but in the end she married the two old relatives anyway.As a result, Jia Zheng simply liked her good looks, and when she got older, Jia Zheng would not come to her room.When we were in Rongguo Mansion, everyone said that Jia She was lustful, but Mrs. Wang said that Jia Zheng and Jia She were just ordinary people.Moreover, Jia Amnesty only made trouble on the bright side, as for Jia Zheng...
Mrs. Wang was full of anger when she thought about it.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang had changed from her usual moodiness and anger, Wu Xindeng's family became even more timid: "Ma'am?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Take the master's post and go to the household department to borrow money."
"This, I'm afraid it won't work..."
If Jia Zheng still has any official positions, the money is easy to borrow.But Jia Zheng has already been dismissed, it is Bai Ding, and his posts may not be able to borrow money.
"Then borrow it in the name of the old lady. Otherwise, you can borrow it in the name of the empress."
Who has so much money to buy this false excitement?
Seeing this, Wu Xindeng's family didn't dare to talk too much, so they could only back out.
After arriving at the gate, Aunt Zhao raised the curtain, and suddenly she heard Mrs. Wang's voice inside: "Where's the master?"
Wu Xin went to the house to be more careful: "If you go back to your wife, master, master is in Aunt Zhao's room."
Mrs. Wang heard that she almost smashed the teacup in her hand again.
Co-authored Just My Daughter Visiting Parents.
Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "Get ready, I'm going to see the old lady."
In any case, she wanted to settle the matter between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.
Tired all day today, she was sleepy instead. Mother Jia didn't fall asleep, but reclined in the warm pavilion. When she heard that Mrs. Wang had come, she was very puzzled.
Is there anything you can't say tomorrow?
But thinking that Mrs. Wang might have come to visit her family's villa, Jia's mother had to get up.
When Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, Mother Jia was also stunned:
"Again, no more money?"
"Yes, old lady."
This is why Mrs. Wang looks down on Jia Zheng.In Mrs. Wang's opinion, rockery, lakes and stones are not worth a lot of money. How come they are in Jia Zheng's hands? What can be done with 30 taels of silver? He spent 60 taels to do this. half!
Which family has so much gold and silver for him to squander!
After Mother Jia asked the girls to retreat, she didn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, he said, "What are your plans?"
Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, I have already borrowed from my relatives and friends. If I borrow more, I am afraid I will not be able to borrow much. My daughter-in-law is thinking, either ask the treasury to borrow money, or you can only borrow from Xue's family."
"You mean, Baoyu's marriage?"
"Yes."
"Bastard! Are you such a mother?! You are humiliating him!"
Seeing that Jia Zhu is a useless person, Jia Lan is still young, and Jia's mother now places all her expectations on Jia Baoyu, how could she let Xue Baochai in?
Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, Baoyu is a piece of meat that fell from the daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law is eager to give him the best thing in the world, so how can she abuse him? But old lady, there is no way for the daughter-in-law. This family-friendly villa If we don’t repair it well, the empress’s face will be dull, and others will only think of us as ordinary people. Only this provincial family’s villa is here, and others will not dare to neglect us if they see us as relatives of the emperor!”
Mother Jia sighed and said, "But Xue's family background is too low..."
Mrs. Wang said: "It is because Xue's family is low that they are willing to subsidize."
When Jia Mu heard about it, she sighed and said, "Baoyu is still young."
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to say: "My daughter-in-law didn't even think about making an appointment with Baoyu now, but I just hope that you, old lady..."
I hope Mother Jia will do well, but I hope Mother Jia will treat Xue Baochai better so that the Xue family can spend more money.
Jia Mu said, "Why is our family here?"
It's not that Jia's mother said that the old concubine in the palace is still her boudoir friend in the old days.Before Qin Keqing's funeral, even the king of Beijing Jing came to the road sacrifice in person, and invited Jia Baoyu to play.One by one, which one is taken out, won't people be able to talk about it for ten days and a half months?How come the Jia family is in such a state of embarrassment now that Mrs. Wang said it?Do you have to marry a businesswoman to come in?
Jia Mu hesitated for a while, then said: "Forget it, you can borrow money from my post. As for what you said, I don't agree!"
Jia's mother disagreed with the golden and jade marriage, and Mrs. Wang had no choice.Fortunately, after taking Jia's mother's post, the money was quickly borrowed, and Jia Yuanchun worked overtime on the project of the relative's house.
Let's talk about Lin Ruhai, when he returned to the capital, he first went to the palace to report on his work as usual, and then he visited relatives and friends, and then he knew that Jia Mu and Jia Zheng had borrowed money again.
Lin Ruhai quickly told his wife, and even visited Jia Amnesty.
Jia She said: "I thought Mrs. Tai was just eating, drinking, and flowers. Now I know that her old man's flowers are different from others."
Lin Ruhai was puzzled: "Brother brother?"
Jia She said: "Brother-in-law, I won't say anything else. Shen Sheng Chong'er, which one do you want to be?"
Lin Ruhai was terrified.
He immediately realized what Jia She was talking about.
Lin Ruhai quickly became active, and soon after, he became the governor of Lingnan, and he took his family to Lingnan, and he also brought Jia Cong who was stuffed by Jia Sheteri.
On the other hand, after all the sweet potatoes were harvested in the autumn of this year, Wang Xifeng also got the news that Mrs. Wang borrowed a total of 120 million taels of silver from the court in the name of Jia Mu.
In addition to the money sent by each family when Jia Yuanchun became the concubine, Wang Xifeng didn't want to know at all, why it still cost so much money for this family-saving villa of only 420 mu without buying additional land.
How is this money spent?
The author has something to say: Guqin should be hung up when not in use.Because if it is placed flat, the surface of the piano is likely to be concave due to gravity, which will affect the tone.
Therefore, the more antique the guqin is, the more it cannot be placed flat.When not in use, hanging storage is the correct posture.
