[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Jia Jing appeared at the right time. When he entered the room and saw Mrs. Dou sighing, his first thought was that Jia Zhen had messed up the errand and made Mrs. Dou feel embarrassed.He couldn't help but stare, and shouted to Jia Zhen: "You did a good job."

Kneeling, really kneeling, okay?Jia Zhen has figured out a way to get along with Jia Jing, without explaining or begging for mercy, she knelt silently in front of him and Madam Dou.

Madam Dou actually wanted to remind Jia Zhen that she would not be able to tell where she was wrong without saying a word, and it would make people even more angry if she made it clear that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.Every time Jia Jing kicked him, it was because he wanted to improve a little bit, and he put on this attitude of letting him be beaten and punished, as if he was enduring endless grievances in his heart.

Ningguo Mansion has become what it is now, what can Jia Zhen feel wronged?

After Jia Jing returned home, he was still obedient to what he said. He was doing his best to resolve the crisis for Ningguo Mansion. Mrs. Dou felt that he could not deprive him of the joy of disciplining his son, so she ignored Jia Zhen who was kneeling, and only asked What is Jia Jing doing here at this time?

Jia Jing came to report the results of his busy day.According to his inquiries, the Xining Palace held a banquet this time to celebrate the son's birthday, and there were not many guests, just the four princes and eight princes and other old relatives.As for whether there will be any uninvited people to curry favor with the Xining Palace, Jia Jing does not know.

It wasn't until the words were finished that the couple remembered that Jia Zhen was still kneeling. Jia Jing snorted coldly, "What did you do today?"

Jia Zhen recounted exactly what she had said when she met Jia Lian today, so Madam Dou could verify whether he had concealed something from her just now.Hearing that he said the same thing twice, knowing that he was honest, he kept quiet and waited to see Jia Jing's reaction.

Frowning, squinting, and bowing his head, Jia Jing did it smoothly.Mrs. Dou let him think, and signaled Jia Zhen to get up from her own side.Jia Zhen had to check that Jia Jing had no objection before she stood up slowly, which made Madam Dou feel very moved—in the original book, Jia Zhen wished to turn Ningguo Mansion upside down, but no one could restrain him.Now that there is a big mountain like Jia Jing, this guy won't be able to jump up and down.

"Sun He's family," Mrs. Dou, like her previous lives, didn't use maids very much, she was called Sun He's family when she had anything to do.Hearing her greeting, Sun He's family immediately entered the house, walked without making any sound, and stood in front of Mrs. Dou, bent slightly, and asked in a low voice, "What's your order, Madam?"

"When I got up early, I told someone to clean up Jia Qiang's yard, but it's done?"

"It's all packed. According to my wife's instructions, I'll compare everything to Brother Rong." Sun He's family is not bad at action, and Madam Dou's orders can always be completed in the first time.

Jia Jing woke up from his own thoughts at this time, and asked puzzledly: "He doesn't have a yard himself, why bother to clean it up?"

Mrs. Dou just smiled: "He is recorded under Brother Fu's name anyway, and he is said to be a decent great-great-grandson of the Ningguo Mansion. If it is not equal to Rong'er, others will gossip someday."

Jia Zhen suddenly remembered what Jia Lian said, that there was only his elder brother in the house, and no one was arguing about the housekeeper and family property. She was a little afraid that Mrs. Dou's behavior would make Jia Qiang's heart grow up, so she interjected, "It's decent. The great-great-grandson is only recorded in the name of the uncle, not the direct line after all. Usually, the wife and girl raised him up, and he was not left behind as if he could read and write. If you say that we treat him badly, you are also a fool."

"What do you know?" Jia Jing, who was determined not to deal with Jia Zhen, turned his gun and scolded Jia Zhen: "Your wife is planning for a rainy day. Who is it for? If you hadn't caused this mess, the two of us would have led the way." Have fun with your sister."

Who wants to take Jia Yuan with you.Mrs. Dou glanced at Jia Jing, and said to Jia Zhen: "I know you are afraid that Jia Qiang and Rong'er will have disputes in the future, it's just a matter of human effort, if you teach him the truth early, it may be Rong'er's arm."

The two who can call the shots said so, how could Jia Zhen dare to speak?Mrs. Dou told him that if Uncle Gu came to see him again in the future, she might as well reveal that she and Jia Jing were very dissatisfied with Jia Rong's marriage, and there was no need to mention anything else.

When Jia Zhen went out, Jia Jing asked: "Do you want to use the hands of the princes to settle Rong'er's marriage?"

Mrs. Dou didn't hide from him, she nodded and said: "It's not good for Rong'er to always have pimples in her heart. Whether it's the fifth prince or the third prince, it can be regarded as their sincerity. When I go to Xining Palace, I still have to talk to the princess. Complain." If given the chance.

Those people who want to benefit from the Ningguo Mansion have to show some sincerity first.If the three parties all make a move at that time, it will take some effort for Yizhong Wangfu to find out the person who made the attack, just let them wrestle with each other first.

Jia Jing was not very optimistic: "I heard that Prince Yizhong is becoming more and more useless, and the palace also sent an imperial doctor to look at it. If something happens to the girl of the Qin family at this time, the saint may not be able to explain it."

Does the saint value an illegitimate granddaughter? Madam Dou drew a question mark in her heart, but she refused to change her mind.When it was the day of the banquet at Xining Palace, he still went to Xining Palace.

It wasn't too early when she arrived, the main hall was already full of female family members who had arrived first: Prince Dongping was a new prince, the saint hadn't married him yet, it was thought that he had sent someone to give a gift, and no female family members were present.The concubine of Prince Jing of Beijing did not come, but the side concubine newly married this year, who is not as good as Madam Dou in age and class, so there is no need to greet her, just nod and smile.It was the concubine who came to the Nan'an palace, who was sitting opposite to the princess of Xining at this time, Madam Dou had to come forward to pay her respects.

Concubine Nan'an was very kind, she smiled and asked Mrs. Dou: "Your girl is about to turn one year old, I'm afraid she is also a naughty one. This has tripped your feet, and you came so late today."

"Please think about it, it's only seven months now, and it's still too early to be one year old. Being naughty is not naughty, it's just that you can't leave others." Mrs. Dou looked at Princess Xining meaningfully, and continued to smile and talk to Nan'an Toffee said:

"Today is a good day for the son, and I should have avoided it. The princess was afraid that I would be bored in the mansion, so she posted a post for me, and she will pay homage to the son before leaving. At that time, the concubine should not dislike me." It's better to be big."

Concubine Nan'an still had a smile on her face: "I haven't gone out for quite a while, now I think it's time to go out and walk around more, to see you young people, I also like it in my heart."

Mrs. Dou smiled at Concubine Nan'an knowingly, and then greeted the female family members of the Eighth Duke's family.The heirs of the Eighth Duke's family are more prosperous than the Four Princes' Mansion. People from all the families have come, and the Rongguo Mansion has even the two wives of King Xing.Just looking at their clothes, although they look new, the fabric is a little stuffy, I don't know where they took them out from a corner, Madam Dou is happy in her heart, and greets people like a spring breeze.

Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Dou neatly dressed and well-dressed, she felt a little grievance in her heart, and seeing that Concubine Nan'an and Princess Xining were very polite to her and did not blame her for coming late, the grievance reached [-] points.When Mrs. Dou greeted her, she couldn't help saying: "I didn't see my sister-in-law just now, I still think my sister-in-law won't come."

At this time, Mrs. Wang is afraid that she is poor and confused when she says such things.Mrs. Dou said indifferently: "It's just because I'm afraid that others will think it's bad luck. It's disrespectful for the princess not to come after she posted the post, so she came a little later and left a little earlier to complete the ceremony." When she spoke, her voice was deliberately lowered. Let others can hear clearly, and it seems to treat Mrs. Wang differently, which is in line with the past of the two houses.

The second time the taboo words came out of Mrs. Dou's mouth, Princess Xining almost hated Mrs. Wang to death—Mrs. It seems that it is difficult for her as a master to be strong, even if she wants to spread something in the future, she can no longer fall on Mrs. Dou.

Why do you have to ask someone else to come?

Princess Xining didn't simply want to invite Mrs. Dou to celebrate her son's birthday. She still had important matters to communicate with Mrs. Dou.Now being disturbed by Mrs. Wang, if Mrs. Dou said to leave early, Princess Xining would not be able to force her to stay.

This made Princess Xining look at Mrs. Wang's eyes, how could it not be like a knife?As for Mrs. Xing, Princess Xining was very polite and spoke to her from time to time.Where did Mrs. Xing get this kind of treatment when she went out in the past, she couldn't speak easily when she was excited, and her response to questions made people laugh.

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth in hatred, and refused to help Mrs. Xing to make up for it. She was thinking about how to tell Jia Mu how embarrassing Mrs. Xing was when she returned home. Mrs. Dou had already stood up to bid farewell to Princess Xining.

The princess couldn't help it, so she personally sent Madam Dou to the door, and said that she hadn't thought carefully, and she would go to the Ningguo Mansion to make an apology to Madam Dou in the future.Mrs. Dou didn't dare to talk, she couldn't hold back the princess's sincerity, and agreed to go to Ningguo Mansion in three days.

Jia Jing also gained something: the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, is Jia Jing's classmate.This person was not from a noble family, but he also attended the birthday banquet of the prince of Xining, and he also accompanied the prince to entertain guests just like Feng Tang, because the prince had read books with him for a while.

In terms of the ability to gossip, Jia Jing, who is a Taoist, still has some skills, and he is better at distinguishing whether others are nonsense.However, he didn't expose Mr. Shaoqing face to face, but recalled the friendship of the same subject with others, and also complained that he had to go back to the house and couldn't practice Taoism with a pure heart.

Naturally, the source of the complaint was his troubled son.

Master Shaoqing was very considerate and took Jia Jing to a place where no one would bother him, to help his fellow subjects solve problems.Apart from sighing, Jia Jing's eyes were also red: "Looking at him back then was worthwhile, so I put down the mortal toil and pursued the Dao. Who knew that the Three Purities fell into a dream, saying that everything is unclear and the Dao is hard to come by. That rebellious son always misunderstood me."

For such a sad fellow, Master Shaoqing sympathized and felt sorry for him.When I found out that Jia Jing was inappropriate for the marriage that Jia Zhen had arranged for Jia Rong, I felt the same way with him.

"Why don't you make the decision and withdraw the marriage?" Sir Shaoqing came up with an idea.

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Jia Jing eagerly looked at Master Shaoqing: "Jing Nian, would you like to speak for Brother Yu? Then Qin Bangye, I don't want to see him, and Jia Zhen got dizzy after drinking a few glasses of wine. , It's really a villain's job to plan a child's marriage. If you show up for a long time, even if you are not his superior, you can still surpass him in terms of rank. I don't believe he dares to violate it."

Jingnian is Lord Shaoqing's word, and it was suddenly mentioned by Jia Jing in this situation, which also made him break out in a cold sweat: "Isn't Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion and Qin Bangye an official in the same department, why not?"

"Huh," Jia Jing's tone of contempt almost turned into substance: "Jing Nian really thinks that our two houses are separated, just because my wife was framed for such a thing? You also said that Jia Zheng and Qin Bangye are officials in the same department. If Isn’t it that prudish matchmaking, does Jia Zhen know Qin Bangye, can I use my dignified eldest grandson of the Ningguo Mansion to marry the adopted daughter of a fifth-rank official’s family?”

"That's all." Jia Jing looked at Master Shaoqing disappointedly: "Master Shaoqing should drink a bar. I have begged many people for this matter to no avail, so there is no need for Master Shaoqing to make things difficult." After finishing speaking He shook his body twice, pretended to be drunk very dishonestly, then bid farewell to the prince and went back to the manor.

The two couples got back to the mansion and got the words right. Knowing the key to the fourth prince's side, it depends on what Xining Princess said when she visited three days later.Mrs. Dou asked Jia Jing to find two servants who looked strange, and quietly watched the Qin family. If there was something wrong, there was no need to help, just find out who it was.

On the second day, the uncle of the Gu family came to visit Jia Zhen, who kept his wife filial, and asked why Jia Zhen married the Qin family in the first place.Jia Zhen has been tortured by this marriage for a long time, and she has to pour out her bitterness to the uncle of the Gu family.

Speaking of which, he was really not familiar with Qin Bangye, and it was indeed Jia Zheng who drew the line from him. The two met at a banquet.Somehow during the dinner, someone brought up the matter of in-laws, and Qin Bangye said that he also had a daughter in his family.Someone else made a fuss, saying that Qin Bangye's daughter must have been born with a beautiful beauty, or she would have hidden it so that no one would know.

Qin Bangye smiled wryly, and told the origin of his daughter. She was a child adopted by a Yangshengtang. People in the world are prejudiced. In order to prevent her from being wronged outside, she had to be less socialized.

When it comes to the prejudices of the world, everyone has a stomach full of words, and everyone shows that they are not such snobs.But to put it bluntly, Qin Bangye said that his daughter has reached the age of marriage. If the person at the same table is really unbiased, would he dare to choose his daughter for his descendants?

Naturally, no one will respond.Qin Bangye looked up to the sky and smiled contemptuously, raised his wine glass and poured himself violently, pointing at a table of people and said: "You can't wait for Ye Gong, who is a good dragon, how can you know the benefits of my daughter."

Jia Zhen also had a drink at that time, and she couldn't stand the temper of the general, so she stood up forcefully: "Although my son is younger, I have betrothed your daughter. Are you willing to marry?"

"That's right, are you ashamed to let your daughter take the title of child bride?" Everyone at the same table knows that Jia Zhen's son is just eleven or twelve years old, and he is not one or two years younger than Qin Bangye's daughter. Now he is engaged It is unavoidable to be called a child bride.

Qin Bangye was also a difficult subject, so he made an appointment with Jia Zhen on the spot.On the second day, he went to Ningguo Mansion to visit Jia Zhen and told Jia Zhen that it was too late to regret it.If he hadn't come, Jia Zhen might have left the matter alone on the grounds that the words on the wine table were not counted.

Now that everyone has come to the door, she even said the words of retiring first. Jia Zhen, who wanted to lose face, was embarrassed to say that she did not recognize her in-laws right away.Seeing him like this, Qin Bangye asked Jia Zhenping to retire, told him Qin Keqing's life experience, and explained that Prince Yizhong loved Qin Keqing's illegitimate daughter very much, and prepared her a dowry early on, which was not inferior to the top of Beijing. lady.

This is how Jia Zhen's 5 taels of employment money was settled, and there was also the follow-up that Jia Jing beat him so often that he couldn't get out of bed after returning home.

"Brother Gu, tell me, it's not easy to take back what I said. Our master should be sympathetic to me as a son, and shouldn't make me lose face in the mansion." Knowing that Uncle Gu is the fifth prince or As the third prince's man, Jia Zhen only spoke half of what she said, not saying that she actually wanted to board the boat of Prince Yizhong's mansion.

Uncle Gu had already patted the table and scolded Qin Bangye and Jia Zheng for being inhumane, and also scolded Yizhong Wangfu for being imprisoned and repenting. He asked Jia Zhen what he thought?

Jia Zhen could only smile wryly: "You are also a person who often walks on the street, and there are many things that cannot be hidden from you. Now I am a joke in Beijing, and I just live by it. What else do you think?"

"I'm going to make friends with you, and I will always think of a way for you." Uncle Gu left these words, and passed away under Jia Zhen's half-believing eyes.

Just after seeing off Uncle Gu, Jia Lian was reported outside again.Jia Zhen went to the door of the study by herself. Seeing that Jia Lian's face was not good-looking, she didn't ask him what was going on, but led him to the study, and arranged for tea and water.

Jia Lian slumped and sat down on the chair: "Brother Zhen, you don't need to talk about it, I just came to try to be quiet."

Jia Zhen chuckled: "The place in your house is so big, there is nowhere to be quiet, you have to come to me to find a place. If your master finds out, a good fight will be inevitable."

"What are you going to do? You might even deny my son." Jia Lian picked up the teacup angrily, then put it down anxiously, her eyes staring blankly.

Jia Zhen had never seen him like this before, so she wanted to ask what was going on.Jia Lian asked him to ask more questions, so he said:

After parting with Jia Zhen that day, Jia Lian returned home and asked Jia Amnesty that he wanted to go to the army. Jia Amnesty only replied with two words, no.Jia Lian didn't give up, and these days he mentioned it frequently, and also told Jia She about his aspirations, and then described to Jia She the bright future of Dafang after he became a leader in the army.

Jia Amnesty's reply changed from two words to one sentence: "If you don't want to die, just tell me, and I will beat you to death with a stick. If a father wants to kill his son, I'm not a capital crime, so I count you as well." filial piety. If you want to go to the army, you can't."

Just now Jia Lian touched Jia Amnesty's nose again, thinking that no one could understand his depression, so he wanted to talk to Jia Zhen about his troubles.But along the way, he also figured it out. It's useless to talk to Jia Zhen about this matter. The two houses have already separated, so what can Jia Zhen do to get Jia's amnesty?

Jia Zhen really had no other way. Mrs. Dou had told him sternly last time that if Jia Lian went to the army, he would be responsible for Jia Amnesty's crimes. Mrs. Dou and Jia Jing would not replace her He was in his early years.

Jia Zhen privately felt that not only would her own parents not stand up for her, but after Jia Amnesty had made a fuss, she could still look forward to a beating.

Then it's better to persuade Jia Lian to give up the idea of ​​going to the army.

He tentatively said: "The elder is also worried about your safety, after all, you are the only one under his knee now."

Jia Lian followed with a sigh: "If in the past, there were no real jobs in the mansion, at least there were some family assets in the warehouse. Now that it has become like this, even if I stay in Beijing, which girl is willing to marry? Why don't you go to the army and make an appointment?" If you deserve credit, you can also ask for a marriage that matches your family."

"It's so easy to make military achievements." Jia Zhen felt that Jia Lian was more naive than herself.

But Jia Lian shook his head: "General Feng said that it is not easy for me to serve in the army elsewhere. If I go to the northwest, it will be easy for me to do military service."

It was General Feng again, Jia Zhen's heart moved, and she asked without a trace: "You just sent General Feng off once, but he told you everything."

There was some redness on Jia Lian's face: "Feng Ziying came to talk to me two days ago, and I just talked about it. It was General Feng who told me face to face."

A trace of wretchedness appeared on Jia Zhen's face: "Feng Ziying didn't tell you that he has a sister who is about the same age as you, but it's a pity she's a concubine."

No accident, Jia Lian's face turned red, and she blamed Jia Zhen for insulting the girl, which made Jia Zhen laugh for a while, and both of them forgot Jia Lian's original intention of coming to Ningguo Mansion.

When Jia Zhenxue listened to Mrs. Dou, she also thought about it. The Feng family was afraid that they really wanted to marry the Rongguo Mansion, or what would Feng Ziying do by mentioning her sisters in front of her nephew.

"It's windy." Mrs. Dou tightened her robe tightly: "The wind is not too small."

Her words became a prophecy, and there had been rumors in the capital that Prince Yizhong, who was in poor health, finally went that night.Even if he has been imprisoned, he is still the crown prince who the emperor has established for more than ten years, and he has the title of prince on his body. The number of people who should go to sacrifice and the number of etiquette are not small.

Princess Xining failed to come to Ningguo Mansion as promised, Madam Dou was happy and quiet, and asked someone to bring Jia Yuan to comb her thin yellow hair.With his own mother, the child is always happy, even if Mrs. Dou is not as gentle as the nanny, Jia Yuan still grinned foolishly.

"In the future, your marriage will be up to you, okay?" Mrs. Dou expressed her feelings.

The nanny heard this, and couldn't help persuading her: "Now that the girl is still young, it's fine for the wife to talk about it. When the girl grows up and understands the words, the wife can't say such words."

"That's not true." Mrs. Dou is very persuasive: "It's just because she is still young, and when she grows up, she has to learn to be well-behaved, considerate, and talented... Thinking about it makes her feel tired."

"This is the girl's blessing. Others can't do it if they think so." The nanny didn't understand, and she didn't waste her little time bragging about her baby.

An illusory thing like luck is not as real as one's own ability.Mrs. Dou looked at the little girl who had grown two small teeth in front of her eyes, and smiled hard to let herself admire, but she was not willing to let her be the last green light ancient Buddha no matter what.

I still have time.Mrs. Dou cheered herself up, she didn't believe in the daughter she had taught, who else could be bullied.

"Ma'am," Sun He's family came in at this time, with a rare look of doubt and panic on his face: "The Qin family sent a woman here."
