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

Mrs. Dou knew what Xining Princess did not say: Although Ningrong and Rongfu were separated, but the Wang family was also the same, everyone came from Jinling, and the circle of communication was so big.In case something happens like cooking rice from raw rice, wouldn't you still want to marry in the end?At that time, it would be better to settle the feud first, so it is better to get married now, and the in-laws can also support them well.

Mrs. Dou's eyes suddenly became sharp: "If you hire, you will be a wife and if you run, you will be a concubine. The girl of his Wang family doesn't want to go on the right path. If there is trouble with Jia Zhen, I will hire a girl from another family for Jia Zhen. Even She is a girl from a common people's family, I also recognize it, and I must let Jia Zhen marry a good girl who is innocent and dare not harm my grandson."

Such strong, resentful, and unyielding gazes were so penetrating that Princess Xining didn't dare to look directly at her for a moment, knowing that she would return in vain this time, and she would not be able to mention Jia Zhen's marriage to Madam Dou next time.

No matter how good the relationship is, let alone a well-known face.

It is impossible for Mrs. Dou to give her this chance.That night, Mrs. Dou ordered Jia Jing, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to be invited over to discuss what kind of girl Jia Zhen should marry.

This made Jia Zhen extremely uncomfortable.It's okay to discuss it with my parents and mother, but what's the point of adding Jia Rong and Jia Qiang.

Mrs. Dou told him directly: "If Rong'er and Qiang'er were still young, I wouldn't let them participate. But they are already grown up, but they are not old enough to marry. When you get married in the future, they will have to spend more time with the bride." Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether you like the bride or not, the most important thing is whether the two children can get along well.”

Is this still my own mother?Jia Zhen looked at Jia Jing speechlessly.Jia Jing was also very helpless, okay, Wuwei Academy is not far from Ningxuan Hall, he was the first one to arrive, and had already made comments on Jia Rong and Jia Qiang who also participated in the discussion, but was ignored by Madam Dou.Now Jia Zhen actually hoped that he would touch Mrs. Dou's misfortune again.

"Your wife is right. This is the way to keep the family happy." Jia Jing expressed his loyalty to Mrs. Dou, and Jia Rong and Jia Qiang nodded excitedly, expressing their gratitude to being treated as adults for the first time. I am very happy, even if I can't say a word, this recognition has already satisfied them.

Mrs. Dou solemnly accepted Jia Jing's words: "I don't need to tell you that you all understand the principle of family harmony and prosperity. Therefore, when Jia Zhen continues to marry, she can't marry someone who disturbs the family. She must choose someone from a scholarly family."

It can be cold, it can really be cold.

As for Jia Zhen's reputation, people in Ningguo Mansion still know something about it.The House of Scholars is most concerned about reputation, how could someone marry a girl to him?Let Jia Jing say that since Mrs. Dou made this idea, Jia Zhen can choose to be a widower all the time.

With a mother like Mrs. Dou who knows the opportunity, Jia Zhen can't be a widower even if she wants to.This time Princess Xining is just a test. Next time, if Concubine Zhen is a matchmaker for Jia Zhen in person, can she still refuse?

Then, before Concubine Zhen comes up with this idea, she can settle the marriage for Jia Zhen.As for whether it is unfair to the bride who will enter the door, Mrs. Dou thinks that the matter should be viewed from two sides.

When a woman in this dynasty gets married, how can there be any love between the two to get married?It was all accomplished by the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.Women are talking about marrying a Han, marrying a Han, dressing and eating, no matter who you marry, it is the same to manage the housework, take care of your husband and teach your children.Most future brides will be happy when they enter the door.

There are really not one or two mistresses in Ningrong and Rongfu who are happy to be their mothers.As long as the bride doesn't act like a demon herself, Mrs. Dou doesn't think she is an evil mother-in-law—if Youshi didn't cooperate with the Rongguo Mansion to drug her, she would still be the head grandmother of the Ningguo Mansion.

This is the reason why Mrs. Dou must find a wife for Jia Zhen in a scholar's family: the girls from the scholar's family, except for Li Shouzhong, who believes that women's ignorance is virtue, generally read more books than the girls from the noble family. Family education also tends to be stricter.

Knowing the etiquette and keeping the etiquette have often become something engraved in their bones.It is a bit depressing to say it, but it is the convention of this era.

As for the candidate, Mrs. Dou, who was sitting in the carriage and holding Jia Yuan Guining, said that she wanted to repair the relationship with her natal family, so let's start by getting close to her sister-in-law.

The Dou family still attaches great importance to the aunt who returned to Ning suddenly.Uncle Dou didn't go to the Yamen at all today, and Mrs. Dou also brought her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to welcome her at the second gate.When the two parties met, Mrs. Dou smiled and said, "I got the letter yesterday, and I thought I heard it wrong."

Mrs. Dou was ashamed: "I was ashamed to come back. But when I encountered a difficult situation, I had no other choice but to beg my sister-in-law, so I had to be cheeky and come again. After a while, sister-in-law don't beat me out with a broom, At least save some face for me in front of Yuan'er."

Mrs. Dou had never heard such witty and coquettish words from her sister-in-law, and she couldn't help but said freshly: "With Yuan'er, you will also come alive."

What can I do if I'm not fresh, it's not easy for older mothers to do it, and if they miss it, it will make the children feel inferior, okay?Mrs. Dou followed Mrs. Dou into the main room, was worshiped by her nephew, daughter-in-law and niece, and asked Jia Yuan to greet her aunt.

On the second day of the new year, Mrs. Dou did not return to Ning. This was Jia Yuan’s first visit to Dou’s house. Her clear eyes seemed to have been washed, and she looked curiously at this and then at that. Curiosity was written on her chubby little face, but she was not afraid of life. , Mrs. Dou asked her to greet her, she greeted her, and she asked her to call someone, she was very attractive.

Mrs. Dou also loved her so much, she smiled at Mrs. Dou and said, "It's not in vain that you sacrificed half your life for her. You are indeed a smart girl." Seeing that the sister-in-law's face showed no sign of loss, she nodded and sighed: " It can be regarded as well-raised, when I saw you when I first returned to the mansion, it seemed that you crawled out of the gate of hell."

Mrs. Dou was very caring, she couldn't understand why the original body couldn't get along with such a sister-in-law, and she smiled self-consciously: "At that time, I didn't think that I was holding on for a while, as long as she didn't let her bear the burden of being born to kill her mother." Fame is good. But with her lying beside me, I thought, her father is unreliable, and my brother is that kind of person. If we keep her, I don’t know who will fall into his hands. Gradually, I feel better. It's also a miracle."

"People say that being a mother is strong. It can be seen that this girl is also reluctant to part with you, and has left you behind." Mrs. Dou followed her sister-in-law's words: "So you don't like to listen to me when I say it. Now see for yourself. If you stay in the mansion, her brother is much better."

I understand, Mrs. Dou must have said before that she asked Yuanshen to discipline Jia Zhen more, so Yuanshen felt that his son was looked down upon, and empathized with her and was unwilling to associate with her mother's family.

Just relying on Jia Zhen, how could she deserve such treatment!

Mrs. Dou sighed and nodded her head, "So I only have Jia Zhen. I thought about being a big man, so I let him go. But with Yuan'er, I thought that in the future, I wouldn't let people look down on me because of her brother." , so we have to restrict two points. Fortunately, our master has also returned home, and Jia Zhen is under his control now."

Mrs. Dou knew the original way of doing things very well. She heard that Jia Jing was in charge of Jia Zhen, so she couldn't help but believe it.Gradually, now that Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are studying together with Jia Jing, Mrs. Dou couldn't help but praise her.

A scholarly family naturally values ​​his children's studies.But Jia Yuan understood, and raised her chubby face and said to Mrs. Dou: "Brother, if you don't study, the master will beat you."

Mrs. Dou was very happy when she heard it, and the others also laughed.Mrs. Dou winked at her sister-in-law, and Mrs. Dou said to her daughter-in-law Zhang, "It's the first time your sister comes to the house, so you take her for a stroll."

The two Miss Dou also got up after hearing this: "Let's stay with little aunt together." Then Grandma Dou went out with Jia Yuan in her arms.

Mrs. Dou said to my sister-in-law: "But what difficulties have you encountered? When will you change your temper of reporting good news but not worrying? It wasn't Rong'er who came last time. We didn't know that you let a commoner bully you. "

This matter really made Mrs. Dou ashamed, she smiled at her sister-in-law, and then frowned: "Sister-in-law just said, I really can't wait for Jia Zhen's matter." When Jia's mother wanted to match Wang Xifeng for Jia Zhen, she learned from her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, think about it. Fortunately, the girl from the Qin family died. How could we explain it clearly? Now someone is making a fuss about Jia Zhen's marriage. I'm really afraid. I must ask my sister-in-law to take care of it, and a good person will give it to me." Your nephew agrees."

Even though she said it was pitiful, Mrs. Dou still guessed the reason for her visit: "You don't want me to get along, you just miss my poor niece."

Speaking of Mrs. Dou's natal niece, she is really pitiful.The eldest wife's maiden name is Mu, and her parents passed away only three years after leaving home. There is only one brother left.

Uncle Mu was very competitive. At the age of 21, he became a second-class Jinshi, and he had a daughter in the same year. It was a time of prosperity.I don't want to be caught in the midst of today's brothers taking over the heir apparent, who will be the cannon fodder for whom, only Grandma Mu is left to live with the girl.

With Mrs. Dou watching, the life of the two mothers is still passable. When the girl was 14 years old, it was Mrs. Dou who appointed Zhang Luo a new scholar from a poor family, so that Uncle Dou would be there In the future, my niece will not be angry at her husband's house.

Unexpectedly, the Jinshi of the new department is also unlucky. He just passed the exam, and he went out to drink happily with others. He drank too much, and fell into the river and disappeared.The Jinshi's family finally confessed such a son, and it is heartbroken.I don't know who listened to the idea, but I had to marry Miss Mu to keep the festival for their son.

Mrs. Dou and Grandma Mu disagreed, so the family spread rumors everywhere, saying that Miss Mu killed her father when she was born, and killed her fiancé after she was engaged. , Maybe the whole family will be killed.

For a while, Miss Mu's reputation was not good, and no one came to her door to say goodbye.After such a waste of time, she is now 24 and [-] years old, and she is a real old girl in this era.

Now Mrs. Dou suddenly wanted to marry Jia Zhen, so Mrs. Dou had to ask for her niece: "You have heard about those things, do you really not care about them?"

Mrs. Dou smiled and shook her head: "Speaking of hard life, is there anyone who is tougher than Jia Zhen? My sister-in-law forgot, but he has been married twice." If Jia Zhenke is really going to die, she will Can save a heart.

This is really speechless.Mrs. Dou said to her sister-in-law: "If you don't want my sister-in-law to be angry, although Jia Zhen is my son, I will not count on him in the future. If this matter is successful in the future, I can let Jia Zhen go. His that I don't interfere with things in the yard."

With such sincerity, how could Mrs. Dou be angry?After thinking about it carefully, not to mention that my niece has the reputation of Huke, if not, there are only two mothers who are orphans and widowed mothers. Even if Jia Zhen is married for the third time, the Mu family is the top one.

If she didn't trust herself as a sister-in-law, why would Mrs. Dou come to see her face?It's a pity that I am an aunt and not a mother, and it's not easy to decide this matter, so I just said to Madam Dou: "I still have to discuss it with my sister-in-law."

It's okay to negotiate.Mrs. Dou repeatedly asked her sister-in-law to pay her respects to the current Mrs. Mu. Even when the marriage was settled, she sent all the people in Jia Zhen's room.

After waiting for a few days, Mrs. Dou came to see my sister-in-law in person, and said to Mrs. Dou: "It's easy to talk about anything else, but you know what kind of family my natal family is. If you want to be worthy of your family's dowry, I'm afraid you won't were able."

The Mu family now has only two mothers and daughters, neither of whom can show up and take care of the family property.Even if Mrs. Dou asked someone to take care of her, it was still inevitable to sit and eat.Mrs. Dou was very displeased with this: "I chose my sister-in-law's niece, not because she is the only one in the Mu family now, so Jia Zhen can inherit all the family wealth of the Mu family."

Mrs. Dou believed this of course - the Ningguo Mansion was much better than the Dou Mansion, let alone the Mu Family.It can be said that the natal family gave all the property to the niece as a dowry, which was not worth Jia Zhen's own private house.

"There's one more thing that really makes it hard for me to tell." Mrs. Dou blushed, and it was obvious that what she said next made her very embarrassed.Mrs. Dou didn't urge her, but she insisted on saying that she was embarrassed, and she always had something to listen to.

"Now there are only two mothers and daughters left in my natal family, and they have been dependent on each other for so many years. Although my sister-in-law is happy to say goodbye to the girl suddenly, she is also reluctant to leave her daughter." Saying this with difficulty Mrs. Dou looked straight at her sister-in-law, trying to see from her expression whether she felt that her natal family was overreaching and looked down upon her.

To be honest, after hearing what her niece said, she felt that her niece would be able to comb by herself in the future.Now I have to tell my sister-in-law that the relationship that has finally been eased has to go back to the past.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dou's face was relaxed: "I still think it's something, but I'm just waiting for the girl to come back and live in the opposite month, and invite my mother-in-law to come to the house as a guest. It's hard to say, sister-in-law is too careful."

Mrs. Dou smiled as easily as she could: "There is nothing else in our house, there are still a few vacant rooms. Wait for my sister-in-law to tell me what my in-laws like, and when we tidy up the new house, we can tidy up a yard together. It would be the cheapest thing."

I thought that the Mu family would ask their heirs to have a surname of Mu in the future, so it would be a bit difficult: Ningguo Mansion is not a small family, and Jia Jing has lived in the mansion for a long time now, even if he is willing to listen to his words now, it really makes Jia Zhen The child's surname is Mu, and he must flip it.

It's just that Jia Zhen has one more mother-in-law, so Mrs. Dou doesn't find it difficult: don't you see that the Xue family lived in Rongguo Mansion for many years in the original book, and I didn't see anyone feel uncomfortable.It can be seen that living with relatives for a longer time is not uncommon in this era.

As for Miss Mu bringing her natal mother into Ningguo Mansion, whether the mother and daughter will plot against her or Jia Rong, or rob the housekeeper of the backyard of Ningguo Mansion, Mrs. Dou is not worried at all.

Madam Dou, who made up her mind, acted surprisingly fast.The night before, he had just informed Jia Jing and the others about the family of the girl he was optimistic about for Jia Zhen, and who the three generations of fathers and grandparents were. The next day, he invited the official matchmaker and asked her to go to the Mu family to propose marriage.

When Jia Zhen went back to the mansion, he had already completed the acceptance and name asking with Miss Mu.Only at this time did Jia Zhen have time to ask: "Has Madam seen the Mu family girl? How does she look like?"

Jia Jing was about to make a move, but Jia Zhen regarded death as her home. Jia Yuan smiled ignorantly and watched the interaction between the two. Mrs. Dou made the final decision: "If you marry a wife and a virtuous person, how can you be eaten by your looks?" , even if Jia Jing stared at him, he couldn't be scared.

In fact, she has met Miss Mu, and they all say that she is a young and fresh girl, with a few decent clothes and jewelry, plus her behavior is measured, she advances and retreats properly, at least she is a beautiful woman.

However, Jia Zhen may not be able to appreciate the intellectual beauty of such a coquettish and slut. Mrs. Dou does not hesitate to let him down at this time, and there will be surprises at the moment when she uncovers her hijab, knowing that her own mother is really good for him.

Jia Zhen's face drooped unknowingly, and Jia Jing really couldn't bear to see it: "Your wife is worrying about you, if you don't say thank her for your hard work, who will you show this face to?"

Jia Yuan, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, loved to watch the elder brother jumping feet kicked by the master, slapping the little meat to encourage Jia Jing: "Banzi, master, banzi."

No matter how loud the air was, it disappeared without a trace in such a crisp, delicate, and soft voice.Jia Jing turned his head, smiled and said to Jia Yuan: "Today he has received good news, let's beat him tomorrow."

Jia Yuan didn't know what the good news was, but she heard that Jia Jing was not beating Jia Zhen anymore, she turned to Madam Dou with some disappointment, "Why not?"

Mrs. Dou had no choice but to nod her little nose: "You little villain, you like to watch and beat people so much. When you are disobedient, I will beat you and show your brother."

One sentence successfully cured Jia Zhen. She felt that the wife still had her own in her heart. She smiled gratefully at Mrs. Dou, and felt that even if the bride looks a little bit worse, it would be a good thing to be able to give herself a good impression with the wife—I am a big man, and I am still a big man. Afraid of not being able to find a desirable beauty to fill your heart?

Hope is so good, it has to be broken to make people feel precious.During the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, Mrs. Dou, who was ordered by a first-class general, became the one who broke other people's hopes.

This time the palace banquet was still presided over by Concubine Zhen. Concubine Shu sat on the seat on the right side of Concubine Zhen, her face was so pale that rouge could not cover it, and even the phoenix hairpin on her head looked very pale. obsolete.

Madam Dou sympathized with her for a second, and then put her soul power on the fifth prince's table.The fifth prince was accused of marrying with the fourth prince years ago. The difference is that the fourth prince's main concubine is the princess of Nan'an Palace who has been favored by Concubine Zhen for a long time and has been approved by the emperor.As for the fifth prince's concubine, the concubine Shu's favorite girl was directly rejected by the emperor, and pointed directly at the eldest daughter of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry.

It's not disgusting.

Concubine Shu and the fifth prince didn't even dare to say a word of objection, and had to thank the emperor for his kindness.They knew that their last ray of hope had been reduced to ashes with this engagement.

Now that the palace is preparing for the marriage of the two princes, Concubine Zhen is even more energetic.Looking at all directions at the palace banquet, it looks like a phoenix fate in hand.

"Eldest madam." A palace banquet that had been rare and safe for generations had ended, Madam Dou was about to leave the palace with the crowd when she was stopped by a person dressed as a court lady.Taking a closer look, it was Jia Yuanchun!

When did this girl enter the palace?Madam Dou called out with some hesitation: "Yuan Chun?"

Jia Yuanchun bowed to Mrs. Dou: "It's me. The imperial concubine asks the eldest lady to stop, and wants to talk to the eldest lady."

So Mrs. Dou had no choice but to apologize to the wife who was with her, and under the envious eyes of others, she and Jia Yuanchun walked slowly towards Concubine Zhen's bedroom.

On the way, Mrs. Dou learned from Jia Yuanchun that she entered the palace years ago, she didn't say how she got into the palace, and Madam Dou knew with her eyes closed that even the minor elections were not held years ago, let alone the general election.

It seemed that the Rongguo Mansion stood in the same team as the four princes, and Jia Yuanchun became a surrender pawn or a hostage.Do you sympathize?Madam Dou would not waste such a precious emotion on anyone in the Rongguo Mansion, she just asked Jia Yuanchun politely to let her serve Concubine Zhen well.

If there are too many words, she, a wife with the same surname who has already divided the clan, can't say it.

Concubine Zhen saw Jia Yuanchun bringing Mrs. Dou into the palace with a smile, and gave her a satisfied look. Mrs. Dou had already bowed down.

"Yuanchun, hurry up and help Mrs. Jia get up," Zhen Guifei said with a smile: "I heard from my sister that she and Mrs. Jia have always gotten along well. I know her temperament, so I wanted to see who made her praise her so much. Can't stop talking."

Mrs. Dou thanked her, got up by herself, and said modestly: "I don't dare to be valued by the concubine, but it is the concubine who takes care of me a lot."

Concubine Zhen took the seat and talked with Mrs. Dou about the past and the future.Gradually, when it came to Jia Zhen's marriage, Concubine Zhen sighed: "General Jia is also unlucky, and he encountered such a thing at a young age. It's hard for you to have grandchildren, and you still have to worry about the housekeeper's affairs." .”

Speaking of this, Concubine Zhen put on a look of me doing it for your own good: "I want you to tell me that you should have married General Jia sooner. Wouldn't it be nice to have a daughter-in-law to take care of you? If there is no suitable , there is a good man here in this palace, do you want to hear it?"
