Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear Jia Mu's constant chatter about preparing these and those for Jia Min. She left all expensive, fresh, and beautiful things to Jia Min, not to mention her own children and grandchildren, so she left Jia Mu's room and returned to Rongxi Hall. In the three ear rooms on the east side, after sitting down, they asked Zhou Rui's family: "My aunt will return to Beijing at the end of the year, do you know?"

The couple of Zhou Rui's family were originally Madam Wang's companions, and they have been with Madam Wang for many years. Now her husband is in charge of the land rent in spring and autumn, and she often goes in and out of Madam Wang's courtyard. She didn't know Madam Wang's thoughts, and she went with her cleverly. The maidservant who came back from the Lin family had had a drink and said with a smile: "I know what Mrs. Hui said."

After a pause, Zhou Rui's family took two steps forward, took the tea brought by the big girl next to him and handed it to Mrs. Wang, and whispered: "I have found out. When those people went, they gave some tea to my aunt. Things are not in the wife's account."

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows and asked, "In addition to the congratulatory gift for the aunt from the house, the old lady also added something?"

At this point, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered that whoever talked to the old lady told the old lady that the return gift to the Lin family that year was not to Jia Min's liking, and it was an ordinary thing. Okay, Mother Jia was busy taking care of it, so she sent it before she had time to look at it. After hearing this, she was annoyed. From now on, Mother Jia must read all the gifts for Jia Min in person. Every time she picks and chooses, she always says to give it herself The gift in return was too vulgar, not delicate enough, not elegant enough. I didn't expect Jia Mu to add something to Jia Min's filial gift, and I didn't get any news.

Mrs. Wang secretly sighed, she has taken over the affairs of the mansion for two or three years, after all, she is not as powerful as Jia Mu.

Zhou Rui's family said: "That's not true! The old lady really loves the auntie. She sent boxes and boxes of clothes and jewelry of good colors and patterns. She also gave a red sandalwood ornament from a unicorn as a gift. The rewards I got from the palace at the beginning of the year are all Give it to my aunt."

Mrs. Wang didn't care much at first, she was startled when she heard the words, and said with a sneer: "I said, at the beginning of the year, the old lady got a lot of useful things, including some very delicate silks and satins. I was thinking of giving them to Zhu Er and Yuan Chun. They made a few pieces of clothes, and they managed to show their filial piety, using the silk and satin rewarded in the palace to make clothes, and they are decent when meeting guests, the old lady is always noncommittal, so it turned out that they were all sent to the south of the Yangtze River."

Compared with Jia She and his son, Jia's mother loves her eldest grandson Jia Zhu and eldest granddaughter Yuan Chun very much. Yuanchun will be better off later.

Because of Wang's background as a military general and family style, his daughter's family did not allow her to study. Although Mrs. Wang, the elder sister and the third younger sister have never been to school, they have read a few books and can read a few words. To be ignorant of talent is to be virtuous, and to abide by women's morality is only necessary for female needleworkers.However, Jia Min was born too romantic and beautiful, with an unusually smart temper, and his reading is more than ten times better than others, and he often consults Mrs. Li. In Rongguo Mansion, it is said that gold is precious, no one can compare, and all the good ones will be given to her, the Jia family Not only was she not restrained by this, but she was very much in favor of it. Mrs. Wang felt envious but also resentful, and Jia Min didn't like her very much, so it was inevitable that there would be a lot of suspicion.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's calm tone, although there was resentment, but could not hear it, Zhou Rui's family understood in their hearts, a round face was full of flattering smiles, and said: "It's not like our family doesn't have these things, even the wife rewarded them I'm better."

One is the daughter of a direct relative, and the other is a married daughter-in-law. Mother Jia naturally loves Jia Min and criticizes Mrs. Wang.

Zhou Rui's family has followed Mrs. Wang since entering the house, and she has seen how Jia's mother treats her daughter and daughter-in-law. According to the Jia family's rules, the daughter who has not left the cabinet is very expensive. Madam Wang was standing, and Jia Min had to bring tea and fruit to Jia Min, so the rift between sisters-in-law and sister-in-law became more and more serious.

After hearing Zhou Rui's family's words, Mrs. Wang turned her anger into joy, and said with a smile: "No, what is it, what else can our Wang family have less? Looking through the things I married as a dowry, there are dozens of boxes of silk and satin. !"

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said: "Yes, madam should choose a few colorful horses to make clothes for the uncle and the eldest girl."

Mrs. Wang nodded in satisfaction, and ordered the big girl to pick out silks and satins of different colors and patterns for her to look at, then her face darkened again, and she said softly: "My aunt will return to Beijing at the end of the year, if you come to pay my respects to the old lady, you should serve me more carefully. Let's beat and beat, so as not to neglect my aunt, it's my fault."

Zhou Rui's family said: "Don't worry, ma'am. Auntie is a married daughter after all. How can she often go back to her mother's house? It's nothing to make people laugh. It's justified not to go back to her mother's house for three to five months like my wife."

Mrs. Wang sighed, and said: "Your words are unreasonable. I have an old lady above me, so naturally I can't go back to my mother's house often. Even if I want to go back, I have to tell the old lady and get the old lady's permission before I can go. As for Auntie, I am very at ease now, I have heard that my aunt has dismissed all the people in the house, there is no in-laws to suppress her, and she is the master of the house, don't you just go back if you want?"

Mrs. Wang envied Jia Min more and more. She really didn't know what kind of virtue she had accumulated to have such blessings. After she became filial piety, their husband and wife were so loving, and it was almost obvious to have children.

Zhou Rui's family thought about it for a while, and immediately agreed.

Jia Min is indeed very at ease, although Mrs. Wang has a plump appearance, dignified demeanor, and better looks than Jia Min, but she can't resist the man's thoughts of facing east today and west tomorrow. As the master, there is also an Aunt Zhou and two maids in Jia Zheng's house.

But after Mrs. Wang left Jia Mu's room, Jia Mu squinted her eyes at her back and smiled coldly in her heart.

Mrs. Wang's thoughts, Jia's mother guessed the same, nothing more than complaining that she gave Jia Min many and precious things, and did not leave them for them, and she didn't think about it. One floor away, Mrs. Wang is just a daughter-in-law. Which family's daughter-in-law didn't survive like this?When Jia's mother came in, she was still the great-grandson's daughter-in-law. She usually served her aunt, aunt, and sister-in-law, and she was not as jealous of her sister-in-law's benefits as Mrs. Wang.

Fei Cui knew Jiamu's intentions, so she laughed quickly and said: "The old lady loves my aunt, and I give my aunt all the good things. Not to mention my wife, even the gentlemen know it, and they are very envious."

Mother Jia leaned on the pillow, let the two little girls beat her legs with beauty fists, sighed, and said, "She herself hurts Yuanchun so much that it hurts to the bone. It's only natural. I shouldn't be hurting Min'er? Miner is the same. My own flesh and blood! As the saying goes, don't do to others what you don't want done to you, I just think she has no tolerance."

Jia's mother became more and more angry. It was her ability to control her husband's mind as the mistress, and she came here as well. She didn't like her aunt's concubine very much.

Two daughters-in-law came in, why did she ever take care of the affairs in their room?She didn't care about a bunch of young wives in Jia She's room, and she didn't think it was too little to have only one aunt in Jia Zheng's room, let alone say anything wrong with Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang doesn't want Jia Zheng to have a concubine, but also has a good name, that's all. She was born with a good color, just in her prime, and although she was dressed in a simple and dignified way, she was still as beautiful as a flower. It seems that her appearance is not as good as hers, so Jia Zheng naturally stays in Mrs. Wang's room.Unexpectedly, she sent a few dishonest girls out on the grounds of maintaining Jia Zheng's reputation as a filial piety.

When Mother Jia heard the news, she almost died of anger. She usually sees that Mrs. Wang advances and retreats well, and her words are measured.And so narrow-minded?How much is a few pieces of clothes and shoes worth?Leaking a little bit from her fingers is ten times or a hundred times more than this, but for the girls, it is a treasure that has been saved for many years. Without these treasures, they are kicked out again, isn't there only a dead end?

Therefore, Mother Jia became more and more dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang.

Fei Cui pursed her lips and smiled, and comforted her softly: "My wife is young after all, how can she experience more things than the old lady? Please calm down the old lady, as time passes, the wife will naturally change."

Jia Mu curled her lips and said, "I look at it, but it's very hanging."

Don't look at Mrs. Wang's kind words, she is very merciful, but she is actually very scheming and decisive in her actions.

Mother Jia relied on herself to suppress Mrs. Wang, so she put aside this matter and only cared about the things her daughter should give to Beijing. In line with Jia Min's preference, it will be sent as a moving gift from the government after Jia Min enters Beijing, so Jia Min doesn't need to worry about it.

Mother Jia sent someone to inquire about the old house of the Lin family. She heard that Lin Ruhai had sent people to repair the house at the beginning of the year. She hurriedly sent a few confidantes to pick some good bricks, tiles and wood furnishings from the shop she married as a dowry, and she was satisfied.

Jia Min didn't know that her mother was so thoughtful, and Lin Ruhai was finishing the housework, packing up the luggage, and arranging the school's future chores with Lin Ruhai.

The Lin family had a lot of things, so they hired four big boats in total. Lin Ruhai, Jia Min, and the girl and mother-in-law were on the boat, and the rest of the servants, slaves, nurses, and others stayed on the boat with luggage. Fearing troubles on the way, Lin Ruhai hired many retired veterans to serve as nursing homes.

It happened that the Lin family arrived in the capital in recent years, and the Longevity Festival was the twelfth lunar month, so the congratulatory gifts from officials from all walks of life were sent to the capital. Wang Zhen also prepared birthday gifts, so he ordered the official boat to set off with the Lin family, taking care of each other along the way.

The journey was smooth and smooth, and he arrived in the capital safely in November.
