Be a maid in the red mansion [Comprehensive]

In July, Jia Hu took Jiang Wanyin and others on board and returned to Beijing.

"It's not like two years ago when I went south to Jinling with my filial piety, and I didn't dare to relax and entertain; everyone was in a very happy mood when I returned to Beijing this time, and I had enough time, so I didn't rush all the way. Jiang Wanyin went ashore to stroll around and bought a lot of things."

"In addition to bringing gifts to the masters of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Hu also bought a lot of small things for Jiang Wanyin. Jiang Wanyin had a lot of fun along the way."

These days can be regarded as the happiest days she has lived in more than ten years in her life.

"Jiang Wanyin is sitting in front of the window, humming a little song and reading the script, feeling very good."

"She is seventeen this year, and Lu Fei was married at the age of seventeen. When I return to Beijing this time, Mrs. Zhang will probably talk about it. But even if Mrs. Zhang doesn't mention it, she will mention it."

Jiang Wanyin only hoped to get the grace to be released as an ordinary citizen.

"In the past two years, she has protected Jia Hu, and Jia Hu has also become a talent. She thinks she has made a lot of contributions. For the sake of her protecting Jia Hu, Mrs. Zhang must be able to honor her kindness."

"She doesn't ask too much, as long as she is freed from her slavery, she doesn't care about the dowry. As long as she can get free based on her ability, it is not difficult to earn a dowry."

The rewards she received over the years, as well as the money she earned from doing embroidery work, add up to a lot, and she already has a lot of silver taels.What's more, she has exchanged a lot of silver with the ancients through systematic transactions in the past ten years.

"In this era, you have to adapt to this era. Jiang Wanyin didn't want to do anything earth-shattering. Maybe it's because her ten-year life as a servant has worn down her will, or maybe she's just a mediocre person with no ambitions."

When she leaves the mansion in the future, if she can find an honest man, she will marry her.If you can't, then you can adopt an abandoned baby from the Yangshengtang, and you are not afraid that no one will take care of you in the future.

In the future, she will teach her son to study and get a good name; maybe she can earn a royal order and become an old lady.

The more Jiang Wanyin thought about it, the more she felt that the future was brighter, and her mood became better.

When Jia Hu returned to the room, he saw Jiang Wanyin smiling happily with her forehead resting on her hands.Jiang Wanyin is five years older than Jia Hu, so Jia Hu is twelve years old now.This age was not too young in ancient times, and under special circumstances, one could marry a wife and start a family at such an age.

Although Jiang Wanyin has been a slave and servant in her life, she has been pampered and treated well. She is nothing more than a deputy lady, but ordinary ladies from small households or official families with insufficient background may not be able to compare with Jiang Wanyin.

Although Jiang Wanyin's appearance is not absolutely beautiful, she is also elegant and refined, as beautiful as a flower; coupled with the accumulation of two lives, she has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in this life and read a lot of books. She has a bookish air and a gentle and clean temperament.Now it's not in the Rongguo Mansion, nor is it under the eyes of the Zhang family and other masters who need to be careful and restrained; this time she will be alone with her temperament blooming, her temperament is like orchid, and she is no worse than some young ladies.

But after all, they grew up together since they were young, so they are too familiar, and Jia Hu is still unknown, so he just blinked.

Jiang Wanyin was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't even know Jia Hu came in until Jia Hu made a sound.

"What are you thinking? So happy?"

"Brother Hu is back."

Jiang Wanyin put down her script and got up to pour tea for Jia Hu.

"I'm thinking about things in the capital. Didn't the people from Beijing say that Sister Lufei was pregnant? I think it's time to give birth now, and I don't know if it's a boy or a girl. We've been away for almost three years, and I want to My mother and my second brother..."

Naturally, she couldn't talk about going out of the house to get married, so Jiang Wanyin casually talked about things in Beijing.

"I also miss my parents and my brothers/siblings."

It was the first time he had been away from home for such a long time.

"But in two or three days, we'll be home."

Jia Hu had a look of expectation on his face, and Jiang Wanyin was also looking forward to it.

Although Jia Hu hadn't arrived in the capital yet, the good news that Jia Hu passed the college examination and became a scholar had already been sent back to Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Zhang was very excited when she received the letter and learned that Jia Hu had become a scholar.

"Go and see, is the uncle back?"

Mrs. Zhang once again urged people to see if Jia She was back. After hearing the good news about her son, Mrs. Zhang couldn't wait to share it with Jia She.

When Jia Amnesty came back, he saw people around Mrs. Zhang waiting at the door, thinking that something had happened, and hurried back to Huaifang Courtyard.

"What happened?" Jia Amnesty asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Enhou, you are back. It's not that something happened, but a happy event, a great happy event."

Mrs. Zhang handed the letter she had been holding for a long time to Jia Amnesty.

"Our Hu'er has passed the hospital examination, Hu'er is already a scholar."

The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face hasn't faded since she received the letter.

"real."

Jia She's eyes widened immediately, also surprised, he took the letter and immediately read it, confirming that Jia Hu had really become a scholar, Jia She immediately burst out laughing with joy.

"Huer is doing well. We, Huer, are promising."

The second child has been studying books for nearly 30 years, and has passed the exam twice. Now he is not even a child, and his son is already a scholar when he is only ten years old.

The more Jia She thought about it, the more complacent he became. Imagine Jia Zheng's ugly face when he learned that Jia Hu had become a scholar.

"By the way, do the master and wife know about this happy event?"

Such a big happy event, Jia She wished to let everyone know.

"I just received the letter, and I'm waiting for you to come back. I haven't told the master and wife yet."

She just remembers being happy, so she doesn't care about other people.

"Then I'll go to Lixiangyuan to announce the good news to the master."

Jia Amnesty took the paper and turned around to go out when he remembered something and paused.

"Where are Yao'er and the others? Why don't they see anyone? Didn't Lian'er come back today? Where did they go, but is someone following them?"

In the past, when he came back, his daughter would rush forward to hug him, why don't you see the three children today.Like Jia Hu, Lian'er also goes to Zhang's house to study now.

An accident happened before, which frightened Jia She and his wife. Since then, the three brothers and sisters of Jia Lian have never left their side.

"Lian'er is taking Yao'er and Cong'er to the master. Just bring them back when you come back from Lixiangyuan."

Hearing that it was in Lixiangyuan, Jia Amnesty breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll bring them back later."

Jia Amnesty went to Lixiangyuan excitedly.

Since Jinling came back, Jia Daishan officially moved into Lixiangyuan, and Rongxitang, Jia Shishi who refused to move still lived in Rongxitang.

In Lixiangyuan, Jia Daishan was telling stories to his grandchildren. Jia She entered the room with a smile, perhaps because his voice was much louder because he was happy.

"Master, my son has announced good news to you."

"What are you doing so loudly to scare the children?" Jia Daishan glared at Jia She, who was still afraid of Jia Daishan and restrained himself immediately.

"What happy event?"

"Master, Huer passed the college entrance examination, Huer got No.6 in the exam, Huer is now a scholar."

Thinking of the eldest son, Jia She, he forgot to be afraid. Jia She grinned at his father, with a little complacency in his eyes, as if to say, "Look, my son is amazing."

Jia Daishan looked at the frightened Jia She, with complicated eyes in his heart.

Jia Daishan did not expect that Jia Hu would take the imperial examination, let alone his ten-year-old grandson pass the county, government and college examinations in one fell swoop and become a scholar.

Jia Daishan's mood became more complicated when he thought of his second son, who had passed the exam twice and didn't even get any fame as a child.

In other words, Jia Daishan has been in a complicated mood ever since he learned that Jia Hu passed the county and government examinations in the imperial examination two months ago.

These two months were enough for Jia Daishan to wake up from Jia Shishi's fabrication of Jia Zhenghui and the lie that Jia Zheng was a great talent, and it was also enough for him to see clearly the nature of Jia Zheng's ignorance of flexibility.

After Jia Zheng was born, Jia Daishan was not in the mansion for many years on the border. Most of Jia Daishan's understanding of the two sons was through his wife Jia Shishi.When Jia Shishi married into Rongguo Mansion, she was the great-grandson's daughter-in-law. She took care of the elderly for Jia Daishan, kept filial piety for the elderly, and gave birth to children for Jia Daishan.Jia Daishan has always felt guilty for letting Jia Shishi stay in Beijing's central mansion to serve the elderly and take care of the family and raise the children.

Because of this guilt, Jia Daishan also gave Jia Shishi great trust.Also because of this trust, Jia Daishan has been kept in the dark by Jia Shishi.

In Jia Shi's mouth, Jia She is a dude who is not filial, disrespects his biological mother and disrespects younger brothers, etc., and many other bad things, while Jia Zheng is good at reading, has great talents, and has countless advantages such as pure filial piety.

Before that, Jia Daishan believed it all the time, but Jia Daishan didn't doubt it until after Jia Shi's mourning incident.

Jia Daishan, who had hesitated for a long time, began to investigate secretly until Jia Hu obtained the fame of Tongsheng, and only then did he know that Jia Shishi had lied to him.

"master?"

Seeing Jia Daishan in a daze, Jia She yelled, Jia Daishan came back to his senses and looked at Jia She, thinking about his past preference for Jia Zheng, his mood became more complicated.In the final analysis, he owed his eldest son, so it's no wonder his mother didn't like him.

Jia Daishan looked at Jia She and said with mixed feelings: "Huer is very good, you and your wife have taught Huer very well."

"Father, is the elder brother coming back?"

Jia Lian, who was playing with his brothers/siblings, suddenly asked, Jia Yao trotted over and hugged Jia She's leg: "Daddy, is elder brother really coming back? Did elder brother bring a gift for Sister Yuan?"

Jia Hu was five years older than Jia Yao, and when Jia Hu left Beijing two years ago, Jia Yao already remembered things, but Jia Cong, who was over two years old, was still in his infancy and did not remember his elder brother.

"Yes, your elder brother is coming back soon. Your elder brother loves Sister Yuan so much, he will definitely bring a gift for Sister Yuan."

Jia Amnesty picked up Sister Yuan, and Jia Lian also brought Jia Cong over. The four of them were very close.With Zhang's upbringing, Jia Lian's brother and sister were not as afraid of Jia Amnesty as Jia Zhu was of Jia Zheng.

The father and son are close, even Jia Daishan looks envious.

"Master, my wife doesn't know about this yet. I'll go to the Rongxi Hall to announce the good news to my wife and then come back to pick up the three children." Jia Amnesty put Jia Yao down and said.

"Go."

Jia Amnesty went to Rongxi Hall to tell Jia Shishi the good news that Jia Hu became a scholar, but Jia Shishi was not happy at all.After Jia Amnesty left, Jia Shishi also smashed a set of teacups on the table.

Jia Shi knew about it, and soon Jia Zheng and his wife also knew about it.

Knowing that Jia Hu has become a scholar, Jia Zheng's expression turned extremely ugly, and he hid in the study and refused to come out.

Wang was so jealous that he smashed things in the house.

But no matter whether they are happy or not, Jia Hu has become a scholar.Three days later, Jia Hu brought Jiang Wanyin and others back to Rongguo Mansion.

Entering Ningrong Street, Jiang Wanyin couldn't help feeling emotional when she saw the plaque of Rongguo Mansion after nearly three years.There is no freedom to come back here after all.
