After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Wang had a very bad premonition in her heart, knowing that it must not be a good word, but she still couldn't help asking: "What else did he say?"

The woman hesitated for a moment, and under Wang's staring Xia Xia, said in a low voice: "Master Jing also said that there is no need for the second wife to avoid it, he is here to find you."

"What?" Wang couldn't help raising her voice, "He brought a group of vulgar servants to look for me?"

She felt deeply that she was offended.

"Old lady, you have to decide for me." She covered her face with a handkerchief as if she had been greatly insulted, and turned her head to cry to Mother Jia.

Mother Jia couldn't help but frowned, and said to Yuan Chun, "Yuan'er, take your younger brothers and sisters home first."

In any case, let the juniors go down first.They can't let them read the jokes of the elders.

Seeing that he finally didn't have to endure the jokes of a group of people, Yuan Chun secretly heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and replied, "Yes, old lady."

Then, she led Baoyu, sisters Yingchun and Tanchun, and went out through the small gate.

Mrs. Xing gloated at Mrs. Wang and said, "Since you didn't come to see me, I'd better avoid it for now."

Then, she asked someone to move her chair to the back of the screen, supported by Wang Shanbao's family, and hid behind the screen.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her lungs were about to explode, but she couldn't do anything to Mrs. Xing.

Jia's mother was also annoyed that her eldest daughter-in-law was ignorant, so she suppressed her anger and said, "Please come in, Mrs. Jing."

"Yes." Yuanyang responded, walked out with decent steps, saluted Jia Jing, and said, "Old lady, please respect the old man to go in."

Yao couldn't help but take another look at Yuanyang, feeling that this girl was unusual.

Jia Jing was not so frantic that he didn't care about it, and let the servants wait outside, he only led Jia Zhen and his wife and Yao's maid inside.

"Greetings to the old lady."

Jia Jing saluted, and without waiting for Mother Jia to call out, he stood up by himself.

Jia Mu was quite displeased, and asked no one to set up a seat, "Jing'er, what is your trouble today?"

Jia Jing snorted and laughed, "I should ask the old lady about that."

Mother Jia didn't understand, so she frowned and said, "You just came back to Beijing, and you came here aggressively. What is it for, you have to explain it clearly?"

Judging by her expression, it seems that she really doesn't understand?With a mocking smile, Jia Jing kept staring at her until he saw her shyly averting her gaze, then he snorted.

——Until embarrassment, it means a guilty conscience.Since you have a guilty conscience, it shows that you know what you are doing is shameful.

If you commit a crime knowingly, the crime will be aggravated!

But Mother Jia is still an elder, even for the sake of her own reputation, Jia Jing can't be too disrespectful to her.

However, not being able to do anything to Jia's mother does not mean that the Wang family also has this layer of natural amulet.

Jia Jing glanced at Mrs. Wang indifferently, and simply picked up a chair and sat down, and said leisurely: "Brother She and Brother Zheng are probably coming soon, so I'll just wait for a while. It's just right, let the old lady see you too." See granddaughter-in-law."

Yao Shi took the opportunity to go forward and salute Jia's mother: "Granddaughter-in-law Yao, please greet the old lady."

Mother Jia had no choice but to calm down, and smiled at Yao Shi, "This is Zhen's daughter-in-law? Come here quickly, and ask my wife to take a good look."

"Yes, old lady."

Yao Shi stepped forward with a smile on her face. Mother Jia had already put on the tortoiseshell eyes handed over by the mandarin duck, and took Yao Shi's hand for a closer look.

Seeing that although Yao's appearance is only average, but his eyes are clear and bright, he couldn't help but secretly praised: Wu's like that, he got a good daughter-in-law.

But at the same time, she also felt a little apprehensive.

——This Yao family doesn't seem to be as easy to handle as Wu's.In the future, if she wants to be the master of the clan again, it may not be as easy as before.

Her smile faded a little, and she praised insincerely: "What a good boy, more than enough for my Zhen'er."

Yao shi lowered her head shyly, her ears turned red, and said softly, "The old lady is absurd."

Mother Jia's pupils shrank slightly: This Yao family is not easy to deal with.

At this time, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng came in almost one after the other.

Jia Jing glanced at Jia Zheng with a half-smile, and almost sneered to show his disdain.

——As close as Jia Zheng lived to Jia Mu’s Chunxi Hall, Jia She lived in the East Courtyard as far away.But the two arrived almost at the same time.

Needless to say, it must be that Jia Zheng knew that Jia Jing's visitor was not kind and did not dare to come first.

But it was such a thing, but Jia Mu held it like a baby bump.From this point of view, it is not without trace that Jia's mother can do such a mindless thing.

"Greetings to the old lady." This is Jia Amnesty.

"Greetings to mother." This is Jia Zheng.

After the two brothers greeted Jia's mother, they came to greet Jia Jing together, "Regard big brother."

Jia She glanced at it briefly, then frowned, and turned around to scold the waiters: "What are you all eating? Brother Jing has been sitting for so long, and he doesn't even have a bowl of hot tea."

Jia Mu's complexion was not good at that time.

——Jia Amnesty's words, although she said that the servants were ignorant, did they imply that she was neglecting the guests?

After all, the servants in this room all act based on her winks.

"Okay, pardon me, I didn't come here today to drink tea."

Whether Jia Zheng knew what Jia Jing was doing, Jia Amnesty was not sure.However, he himself is clear in his heart.

He had persuaded the old lady about this matter.After all, no matter how Jia Zheng and his wife were, Yuan Chun was really a good boy. How could he have the heart to let this child be his stepmother?

However, the old lady pretended to be confused, no matter what he said, she would push it aside, and only said that Yuan Chun's marriage was up to her parents.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded again and again, Jia Amnesty was also annoyed.

——Anyway, I don't have a prostitute, so why bother?

Then, he walked away, completely letting go.

But he doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that Jia Jing, who is the patriarch, doesn't care.The old lady could suppress him with filial piety, but she couldn't suppress Jia Jing.

Sure enough, Jia Jing asked directly: "I heard that the old lady has arranged a marriage for Yuan Chun?"

Mother Jia's eyelids twitched, and she said vaguely, "The second child's family said that Yuan Chun was engaged."

Jia Jing's reaction to Jia's mother was completely within Jia Jing's expectation.

He smiled, turned his head and asked Wang: "Brother Zheng, his daughter-in-law, which family did you marry Yuan Chun?"

Mrs. Wang smiled reservedly, and said, "It's Master Xu, Marquis of Jingsui."

She seemed quite proud.

Jia Jing suddenly wanted to laugh: After all, she is also the eldest daughter of the Wang family, how did she become such a big-eyed and empty-hearted look?

But today, he didn't come to discuss the tutoring of the Wang family, so he didn't deviate from the topic, and then asked: "Master Xu, if I remember correctly, isn't he a few years younger than me?"

He smiled meaningfully and looked at Jia Zheng until Jia Zheng felt uncomfortable, and then asked slowly: "Brother Zheng, in the future you will meet Mr. Xu in the court hall, and you will see someone who is older than you." The half-grown old man calls you father-in-law, do you dare to answer?"

Jia Zheng's face was flushed with embarrassment, and he couldn't utter a word for a long while.

Mother Jia couldn't stand it anymore, and said displeasedly, "Why should Jing'er make things difficult for Zheng'er?"

"Why did I make things difficult for him?" Jia Jing said, "Old lady, I just asked a very practical question."

Wang said: "As parents, we all want our daughter to marry a promising man so that she will not suffer in the future, and her age is the second priority."

Jia Zheng's complexion improved a lot, as if he had picked up a fig leaf.

Jia Jing suddenly sneered: "As expected of a daughter who was taught to fill in the house, let alone marrying the second son as the eldest son, I still want to give the eldest daughter to someone to fill in the house."

These words are more than rude, this is simply a shameful humiliation.

Jia Jing's original plan was not so radical.But after entering the palace, he was stimulated by the grandson, and he needed a vent.

Unfortunately, the Wang family became the object of his catharsis.

******

Shi Nai was still reading the file, and Jin Bao hurried in.

"Master, Madam sent someone to ask you to go back quickly."

Shi Nai raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jin Bao looked around, walked up to Shi Nai, and whispered in his ear, "Uncle Jing of the Jia family wants to send the old aunt back to the Shi family in the name of the patriarch."

Shocked, Shi Nai hurriedly stood up, "Go, go back."

He called Wu Langzhong, explained a few words, and then went back with Jinbao and the servants sent by the Yan family.

Yan Shi was already ready, and while the husband and wife rushed to Jia's house, Yan Shi explained the matter to Shi Nai.

"That is to say, Jia Jing asked them to withdraw Yuan Chun's marriage, but they refused. Jia Jing gave them two ways, one is to divide the two families, and the other is to divorce the aunt and Wang's back?"

"That's right." Yan Shi nodded.

It seems that Jia Jing came prepared this time.

When they arrived at Rongguo Mansion, there was already a lot of crying inside.

Mrs. Wang is crying about her hard work, Jia Zheng is trying to persuade Jia Jing not to divide the clan, Jia Amnesty is watching with cold eyes and sneering again and again.

As for Jia Mu, she had fainted long ago.

After hearing the announcement from the outside that Shi Nai and his wife had arrived, Mother Jia woke up in time and was helped out by the maid again.

Seeing Shi Nai coming, Jia Jing felt apprehensive, and complained first: "Brother Nai, you are here. Come and help me persuade the old lady, how can a good eldest daughter be used as a house fill?"

"Brother Jing, don't worry." Shi Nai reassured Jia Jing, turned around to greet Jia's mother, and asked, "What does Auntie mean? Do you recognize the Marquis of Jingsui?"

When her natal nephew came, or the natal nephew who overwhelmed Jia Jing in all aspects, Jia's mother regained her confidence in an instant.

"No one can stand without faith. The two families have already made an agreement. Seeing that the wedding is approaching, how can you go back on your word?"

Shi Nai nodded, expressing his understanding, and asked Jia Zheng, "Cousin Zheng also meant that?"

Jia Zheng said, "It all depends on the mother."

It is still a panacea-like sentence, without any responsibility at all.Shi Nai lowered his eyes and smiled contemptuously, and said lightly: "Although this is a family matter of the Rongguo Mansion, it is related to the future of the girls of the whole family. Let's listen to what Brother Jing wants to do."

Mother Jia was startled, and realized that things might not develop as she had imagined, and immediately became a little anxious, "Nai'er..."

Shi Nai's tone was still calm, but his attitude was extremely forceful and he cut off Mother Jia's words, "Auntie, this is the family affairs of the Jia family, and my nephew is an outsider after all. So let's listen to what brother Jing has to say first."

Seeing that Shi Nai didn't come to support Jia's mother, Jia Jing felt relieved and said, "I will also marry my daughter in the future. If the old lady doesn't want to call off this marriage, then I will say the same thing. That's it for the sect."

Jia Zheng said anxiously: "Brother Jing, you can't write two Jia characters in one stroke. How can you divide the clan because of this little thing?"

Seeing that Ningguo Mansion has a Jia Jing, now he is in full swing.On the other hand, the Rongguo Mansion is declining day by day, and it is getting worse day by day.

Why didn't Jia Zheng object to Wang's betrothing Yuanchun to the Xu family?Don't you just want to take advantage of the Xu family's power?

Today's Jingsui Hou Mansion, with Xu Deng being marginalized by the sage and grandson's tacit understanding, is not as good as Ning Guo Mansion, which only has the title of first-class general left.

He couldn't even bear the influence of the Xu family, how could he be willing to push Ningguo Mansion out?

Therefore, inside and outside his words, he used "dividing the clan is not good for the family's reputation" as an excuse in an attempt to dispel Jia Jing's idea of ​​splitting the clan.

It's a pity that his eloquence is really not very good, and his brain is not enough.Instead of dissuading Jia Jing, what he said added fuel to the fire.

"What do you mean by just this little thing?" Jia Jing looked at Jia Zheng like a fool, "In your heart, is this a trivial matter?"

"Here……"

Jia Zheng was tongue-tied again.

Jia Jing snorted and said decisively: "Either withdraw from the marriage, or divide the clan. As long as you still recognize me as the patriarch, there is no third way to go!"
