After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Ethics are strict nowadays, especially for women.

If it is said that "the ruler is the guide for the ministers, and the father is the guide for the son" or something that is used to restrain men, you can still pull a fig leaf to fool the world, and you will not be so kind to women.

If a husband wants to divorce his wife, there are "seven outs" in the etiquette to cater to men.

Among the seven outs, there is one called "stealing", which refers to the wife misappropriating her husband's property, or taking things from her husband's family to her mother's house.

Shi's actions are a violation of this rule.

Originally, based on Jia Daishan's respect and guilt towards Shi, even if she embezzled some public property, he would turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't know.

Anyway, at the end of the day, these things are either used as a dowry for his daughter or passed on to his son.

But she absolutely shouldn't, she shouldn't have been bold enough to remove such a huge amount, and what she moved was the sealed Kuyin.

Seeing her limp on the ground with a dismal complexion, Jia Daishan still cared about the relationship between husband and wife for many years, he helped her up with his own hands, and sat her down on the chair: "For the sake of having children for me and taking care of the family business , I forgive you this time. If there is a next time, you can choose a small Buddhist hall or a family temple."

Shi Shi seemed to be resurrected from the dead, a smile could not help showing on his frightened face, which made his expression extremely distorted.

Jia Daishan said again: "From now on, anyone who uses large amounts of money must have my consent."

Shi's expression froze, and he was naturally unwilling in his heart, so he timidly asked: "How much is a large amount of money?"

Jia Daishan stopped drinking tea, did not speak, and only smiled meaningfully.

This is to let her figure it out for herself.

Shi's heart was flustered, and he was terrified by his unclear attitude. For a while, he really didn't dare to play tricks anymore.

And did Jia Daishan really turn over this page?

not at all.

But now, none of his sons have married yet, and if Shi's housekeeping rights are taken over, there will be no daughter-in-law to take over.

Could it be possible to let the concubine be the housekeeper?

There is no such rule.

I had to let Shi Shi take care of it first.

But Jia Daishan made up his mind, and when he talked about his marriage, he would disclose it to his in-laws, and let the housekeeper let the daughter-in-law come in, so that the in-laws could teach her carefully.

At this time, Jia Amnesty led his younger siblings to pay their respects to their parents. Jia Daishan gave Shi a warning look, telling her not to lose her composure in front of the children, and then smiled lovingly: "Let the young master and the girls come in." .”

Not long after, the three brothers and sisters from the Shi family and the three concubine daughters of Jia Daishan all came in, and they all greeted their parents.

"Okay, let's all get up."

Jia Daishan called out quickly, and then called his fourth sister Jia Min to him, and asked some questions such as "I slept soundly last night", "The recent meal is suitable for the spleen and stomach".

Jia Min answered one by one, and in turn cared about his parents, which made Jia Daishan feel good, thinking: No wonder I love Min'er the most, this is really a caring little padded jacket!

Naturally, Jia Amnesty would not be jealous of his younger sister, but Jia Zheng was very envious of his father's kindness towards his younger sister.

But Shi Shi dotes on him the most among the three children, and Jia Daishan is not often at home, so he is psychologically balanced.

On the other hand, the three concubine girls standing at the bottom looked at Jia Min with envy and jealousy.

But their birth mothers are humble, and they have to make a living under the hands of their aunts, no matter how envious and jealous of their aunts, they dare not compete with her.

The eldest sister lowered her head, bit her lip while stirring her handkerchief, thinking of her aunt's explanation yesterday, she struggled very much.

She also knew that Auntie was doing it for her own good.

She is fourteen this year, seeing that next year will be Jiji's year, but her aunt has not mentioned her marriage for a long time, how can she not be in a hurry?

The dowry of the concubine's daughters in the Duke's Mansion is fixed, and the eldest sister dare not expect extra subsidies from her aunt, so I just ask her not to deduct her.

However, there was no news about these things.

Even though the eldest sister is in a hurry, how can she speak about her marriage as a daughter?

My aunt taught her to prepare a special embroidery, and when her father was around, she would honor her aunt and remind her vaguely.

But the eldest sister dare not.

She has learned too much about the methods of her aunt.

Recalling that she was ignorant when she was a child, did not listen to her aunt's teachings, and expressed herself in front of her father.

Every time after being praised by her father, the aunt would make excuses, or let her learn the rules, or let her pick up fomi.

There were two women who took turns staring at her, and kept her awake all night long.

As time passed, she learned to behave well, and slowly made herself dull, without the aura of the past.

When the aunt saw that she was honest, she stopped targeting her.

Shi Shi is not the kind of shallow-sighted person, and he will never deduct the share of children from concubines.

She is not a brother, she is not a threat to Shi Shi at all, Shi Shi is naturally impatient to spend his mind on a concubine who has no sense of existence.

Gradually, she actually felt that she could live in peace and live a good life.

However, she has been so transparent for a long time that everyone has ignored her, and she is almost at the end of her life.

Jia Daishan was completely unaware of these concubine's thoughts.

After caring about Jia Min, he tested the homework of his two sons.

As in the past, although the eldest son is full of spirit, he doesn't like to read; the second son does, but he is a rote reader.

Jia Daishan sighed secretly, thinking about Jia Jing in the next room, he couldn't help but start to doubt whether his decision back then was wrong?

But the matter has come to this point, and it is too late to regret.

Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng secretly looked at their mother in some puzzlement, wondering why she didn't say a word today, instead of praising Jia Zheng in a different way as in the past?

"Okay," Jia Daishan said with a smile, "I won't keep you guys for dinner today, let's go back to our houses."

"Yes, baby retire."

Several people saluted and exited. Jia Amnesty walked back to the East Courtyard with his fan in hand. Breakfast was already set.

He summoned Bao'er and asked, "But what happened?"

Bao'er looked left and right, and Jia She told everyone else to go down.

"Master," Bao'er lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "Last night, Master led people to count the public treasury."

As for the search of Shi's private treasury, since it was in the main courtyard, no news has come out yet.

Jia She was taken aback, nodded with some understanding, and his expression suddenly faded: "I tell you, people in our yard, don't gossip about this matter."

"Yes, sir, don't worry." Bao'er said solemnly.

"Yeah." Jia She nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up a tofu skin bun, and took a bite absent-mindedly, but his mind was thinking wildly.

— Could it be that mother moved the public treasury?Will the father dispose of the mother?

No matter how bad Shi Shi treated him, it was his mother after all.

Furthermore, he still has four younger sisters under him, if the Shi family is gone, Jia Daishan will have to remarry for the sake of the four daughters.

This was not what he wanted to see.

Sigh~ I just hope that my father will save some face for my mother for the sake of the three siblings.

The servants of Rongguo Mansion have always kept their mouths shut. Although Jia Daishan had restrained him in time and prevented the news from spreading outside, the masters and masters of the family knew everything they should know within three days.

Different from Jia She's three brothers and sisters' worries, Jia Daishan's concubines were gloating about their misfortune, and when they greeted Shi Shi, they inevitably brought out a little in their demeanor.

And Shi Shi was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, seeing several concubines who were not on the stage dare to push their noses in the face, and felt even more anxious.

But she also knows that Jia Daishan is waiting to see her, if she tries to find a concubine's house, there is no guarantee that Jia Daishan will not embarrass her.

But she couldn't breathe, and she really couldn't bear it.

After thinking about it, her eyes fell on the daughters of several concubines.

With this attention, Shi suddenly discovered that the eldest sister was already 14 years old, and it was time to see her.

She touched the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, concealed a sneer, and said with a smile: "In the blink of an eye, it's time for the eldest girl to look at her. I was negligent."

The eldest girl's aunt, Huang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "How can it be, what matters about the whole family don't need my wife to worry about? The eldest girl is only fourteen, thanks to my wife thinking about her."

Aunt Lu pouted at the side.

She is childless, very strong without desires.

But the aunts of the three concubines were terrified. For the sake of their own daughters, you said everything to each other, so that Aunt Lu had no place to stand.

Only then did Shi's mood ease a little, and seeing some concubines biting dogs, he sneered inwardly.

On the second day, she began to take her eldest sister out as a guest, looking for a marriage for her.

At this time, it happened that Jia Jing was going to go out with the army, Jia Daishan was busy going in and out every day, he had to work hard in the court, and he also had to take care of the Ningguo Mansion.

Regarding the eldest sister's marriage, when Shi Shi talked about it, he listened to it, but he didn't care about it.

Since this year's imperial examination had just ended, there were many Jinshi waiting to be conferred in the capital, so Shi selected a student from other places from Erjia.

In her words: "Although he didn't pass the exam, he is very tactful and flexible in dealing with people. When the time comes, our house will help with activities and get him a real job. How dare he treat the eldest sister badly?"

Jia Daishan then invited people to the mansion to take an examination of the school, and found that it was indeed as Shi said, that although the knowledge was not top-notch, he was very good at making a living, and he was not as pedantic as a scholar.

He nodded and agreed to the marriage, but he remembered Shi Shi's kindness again.

——In any case, she has never been harsh to his concubine and concubine.

Sensing Jia Daishan's relaxed attitude, Shi made up his mind and began to teach his elder sister how to be a housekeeper.

Aunt Huang was very grateful to Shi Shi, and even got rid of Aunt Lu without Shi Shi taking action.

Shi Shi sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, and sneered in his heart.

——This son-in-law is naturally good, and he may have a great future in the future.

But there is a young widowed mother, and a cousin who is a childhood sweetheart. It is not known whether the slightly cowardly elder sister can survive until the day she becomes a child.

The author has something to say: Many times, people's feelings are really complicated.
