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

"My wife also feels powerless." Madam Dou acted as if she hadn't heard Zhen Guifei's last words, with a just right smile on her face, more respectful than affectionate: "So I showed him a marriage, I have already asked for my name, and I will perform Najib's ceremony on the [-]th of this month."

The smile on Concubine Zhen's face couldn't hold on anymore: "Why are you in such a hurry?" The most important thing is that she didn't hear any rumors: "I don't know which family's girl is so lucky."

"Speaking of which, we are also relatives by marriage, so we know the bottom line." Mrs. Dou kept her smile well: "It's my natal sister-in-law's niece."

Don't say a word, Concubine Zhen also knows about this marriage, she can't open her mouth to say something bad, so she praised it a few times, and said that she was tired of handling the palace banquet, Madam Dou resigned wisely, and kidnapped Concubine Zhen two Congratulations.

Mrs. Dou, who was sitting in the carriage, felt that Concubine Zhen in this life was more tolerant than those in previous lives. This should be due to the fact that the Fifth Prince was out of the game early, which gave her the self-consciousness of being a queen mother—a concubine who loves to be a favorite The queen mother should be tolerant and pampered.

What does this have to do with her?When Mrs. Dou was preparing for Najib's ceremony in an orderly manner, she had already left Zhen Guifei behind.

"Ma'am," Jia Zhen came down to report a shocking news to Mrs. Dou: "The sage has a decree that the fifth prince will accompany the army to reinforce the northwest."

"He's not getting married anymore?" Madam Dou couldn't help but admire the emperor for making such a fortune.

Jia Zhen could only shake her head: "The military situation is urgent. I heard that Feng Tang will lead the team to set off in three days. General Feng will not be able to attend the wedding of their girl and Lian'er."

It seems that I don't care too much about the Rongguo Mansion, and I don't even know such a big thing as Jia Lian's marriage.Of course, this blame must be carried on Jia Zhen's head: "When did Jia Lian make an appointment with Feng's daughter? Why have I never heard of it from you?"

Jia Zhen, who was suddenly blamed, felt wronged: "Didn't I mention it to my wife that day?"

That's right, at that time I thought about why Jia Lian still didn't settle on Wang Xifeng when I stopped focusing on dismantling officials in this life.It's really time.Mrs. Dou felt sorry for herself, and said to Jia Zhen: "When is Jia Lian's marriage date? You are older than him. Let's hurry up in Liuli, and we can still get ahead of him."

Even Jia Jing couldn't stand it anymore: "Ma'am, this is Jia Lian's first marriage." Your son is married for the third time, so you don't have to worry about who comes first.

Can Mrs. Dou think the same as them?After Feng Tang's daughter got engaged to Jia Lian, she was going to the northwest. Mrs. Dou would not believe that she didn't get anything from the Rongguo Mansion.

It's just that now that Feng Tang has been taken over by the fourth prince, and he will go to the northwest to join the king of Xining County. The fourth prince's faction can be regarded as even more powerful, and the third prince's side will be even weaker.

It can be seen that Zhen Guifei's generosity is not unreasonable.Mrs. Dou looked at Jia Zhen with piercing eyes: "Do you still have contact with Mr. Li or Mr. Shi?"

Jia Zhen and Jia Jing were both puzzled by the sudden abduction from a marriage to an irrelevant person, but they still shook their heads honestly: "There is really no relationship."

That's right, it turned out that the third prince's line of contact with Jia Zhen was mostly Uncle Gu. Since the fifth prince lost power, that person has also been silent, and even Gu Shilang was sent to a foreign post, and now his family has left Beijing.

"It's better to find a way to get in touch with him. After all, he also offered sacrifices for Youshi." Mrs. Dou murmured her wish.

Seeing that you are about to marry a bride, is it really good for you to mention someone who has offered sacrifices to the old man?Both Jia Jing and Jia Zhen kept silent rationally, for fear that they would be criticized for raising doubts.It's just that the matter Mrs. Dou explained was too difficult, so she could only let people let it out secretly, saying that Concubine Zhen wanted to intervene in Jia Zhen's marriage.

It will take some time for such rumors to reach the third prince's ears.Another rumor that is quite concerned by the third prince is that the Feng family and the Rongguo Mansion are suddenly engaged and Feng Tang is suddenly sent to the northwest, and the northwest guard is also the brother-in-law of Concubine Zhen. It is easy to think of the military power.

In this way, how could the third prince sit still.Director Li and Shi Langzhong had a perfect encounter with Jia Zhen, who was buying the bride price, as a matter of course.Jia Zhen, who was instructed, did not take the initiative to be enthusiastic about the two of them, and she was somewhat alienated in her politeness, which well explained what is called civil and martial arts.

This made the third prince's faction very anxious - the things of the Rongguo Mansion may have already been in the hands of the fourth prince, and the things of the Ningguo Mansion could no longer fall into the hands of political opponents.It's a pity that Mr. Li and Mr. Shi Langzhong are not Mr. Gu, they are serious scholars, and they can't do the low profile of Mr. Gu. The prince's faction wins people over.

Only at this time, the Mu family, Jia Zhen's future Yue family, could be regarded as in the eyes of the third prince.After inquiring carefully, it turns out that there is indeed a Jinshi in the same discipline as Uncle Mu's back then in the third prince's family.

So after many years, Mrs. Mu welcomed her husband's wife from the same year's family to visit her, but she was so frightened that she sent a letter to her sister-in-law overnight.Mrs. Dou was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly took both mothers to her house, so that those people would have nowhere to lay maggots.

Madam Dou's plan had to be changed by this in-law's supernatural manipulation, but she didn't feel annoyed, nor did she feel any resentment - she is so cautious, and it's not like You Shi took the initiative to provoke her when she became a relative in the future. It's troublesome, it's too late for Mrs. Dou to be satisfied.

She attributed these to the lack of fate between her family and the third prince, thinking that with the third prince's persistence, it would be a matter of time before Jia Zhen got in touch with him, so she had better let nature take its course.

However, the third prince still needs to be pointed out. How can Wang Ziteng, the military envoy of the Beijing camp, stay out of the matter?—Wu Ziteng has such a strong sense of participation in several generations. What if he gives up on the fourth prince? It is still embarrassing for the Fourth Prince to be in charge of the Ningguo Mansion.

As a result, there was a lot of undercurrents in the court, but Mrs. Dou attended Jia Lian's wedding in full dress - although the two houses were separated, they were still close neighbors, and it was unreasonable not to move around at all.

The ostentation of Jia Lian's wedding was definitely greater than that of Jia Zhu's wedding a year ago, and the bride's dowry was also four times that of Li Wan's. This made Mrs. Wang's face not very happy, but Mrs. Xing swayed it among the guests.

After Madam Dou expressed her joy to Madam Xing, she used her soul power to observe the affairs of the officials and guests, and unexpectedly found that Jia Amnesty's expression was similar to Madam Wang's.Even when others congratulated him, this one also looked impatient.

This is a bit strange.Mrs. Dou noticed that there were one or two members of the third prince's party among the visitors, and the smile on her face deepened, and Mrs. Niu from the Zhen Guogong's house next to her couldn't help asking: "The eldest wife is so happy, but it is a good thing for Mr. Zhen near?"

Before regaining her composure, Mrs. Dou was seeing Wang Ziteng walking towards Jia She, and she couldn't help answering Mrs. Niu very perfunctorily: "Exactly." Don't delay me from watching the show.

Mrs. Niu, on the other hand, couldn't read people's faces, so she dragged Mrs. Dou into a chatter: "Speaking of Uncle Zhen's marriage, we all feel that we are in a hurry. We haven't seen that girl from the Mu family. It must be We don't know what kind of benefits it has, so the eldest wife values ​​it so much."

After finishing speaking, he turned his eyes to the people around him, and was very proud to see everyone's expressions of understanding—the reason why the Mu family girl seldom goes out, everyone knows the reason even if she is not familiar with her, after all Whose son-in-law didn't ask all the girls in Beijing before getting married?

Miss Mu is not unknown.

Mrs. Dou also heard that Mrs. Niu was not kind, and knew that she would not be able to watch the show. If she didn't deal with it well, she might be seen by others.Then he straightened his face: "Speaking of which, the girl from the Mu family does have something worthy of attention. I was really afraid that I would have told you earlier that you would have snatched her away."

Mrs. Niu's complexion changed, and she asked Mrs. Dou: "What's the benefit, why don't you let me know what I missed."

"The first case is about filial piety and courtesy." Mrs. Dou said bluntly: "The girl has guarded her mother for many years, and never made her worry about her difficult marriage. Instead, she relieved Grandma Mu from time to time. Why? Don't make people feel distressed." Think about the two girls in your family who hate to marry, are you greedy?

Mrs. Niu's face was gloomy, and she sneered again and again: "So it's this, girls from people like us who are not filial are not very good."

"It's fine if I think it's rare." Madam Dou said nothing: "There is a second case, which is gentle and tolerant. I said that the two of them were engaged, so they put the people in Jia Zhen's room away." Dismissed. But the girl has already said that this matter is entirely up to Jia Zhen herself, and there is no need to go against his will." Think about your own two daughters-in-law who were fighting openly and secretly, how many court cases you have resolved for them, Don't know?

Mrs. Niu, whose face was already completely black, had to nod her head once or twice, and then was dragged by the familiar wife to start a new conversation, which seemed to relieve her embarrassment.Madam Dou had no one to talk to her, and she was isolated invisibly.

Is Mrs. Dou the one who cares about this?She just took this opportunity to observe what Wang Ziteng and Jia She were talking about. She didn't want to release her soul power again, but she found that the people from the third prince's family were talking happily with Wang Ziteng, and Jia She was still sitting alone.Apparently, the conversation between the two had ended, and Jia Amnesty didn't get any advantage.

Regardless of whether Wang Ziteng took the initiative or not, he was already involved in the lineage of the third prince, which was a surprise.Mrs. Dou was not at all self-conscious or embarrassed about being isolated. She drank tea from time to time and occasionally had a piece of snack.

"It's just that I couldn't find another good relative, so I said that to save myself face. Why should you bother with her." Someone quietly persuaded Mrs. Niu, and these words just fell into Mrs. Dou's ears, so that It's hard for her not to pay attention to anyone who speaks.

It turned out to be the wife of Li Guogong Liu's family.Mrs. Dou sneered in her heart, drank tea calmly and waited for the banquet to start, secretly decided to go to see the private rooms of the two wives at night, whether it was enough to calm herself from the hurt of being discussed.

On the second day, Shuntian Mansion received a report from Zhen Guogong and Li Guogong at the same time, saying that the private treasury of the head wife had been removed overnight, and there was not even a single box left.

The strangest thing is that none of the gatekeepers of the two mansions found anyone walking around that night, and the homes of the servants in the mansion were also searched. Although many things that should be in the public treasury were found, the two The wife's private house, but there is nothing at all.

This made Yin of Shuntian Mansion think of the theft of Rongguo Mansion's warehouse two years ago, and the sweat on his head was hard to dry.There was such a weird theft case in Beijing again, Shun Tian Fu Yin knew that he was incapable of solving the case, so he had to report it to the emperor.The emperor was startled when he heard this, he was afraid that the man would have a whim, and what would he do if he entered the palace and stole his jade seal?Immediately ordered Chen Rong to take over the investigation, but still found nothing.

Mrs. Dou also went to the residence of Duke Zhen and Duke Li to express her condolences. Seeing the distraught looks of those two, she began to worry about how to get rid of the things in the space.

Chen Rong sent people to watch the city gate, the pawn shop, the streets where the two mansions were located, and the entrances and exits day and night, but found nothing, and could only hope that the thief would commit another crime.Mrs. Pian Dou has the temperament that people don't offend me and I don't offend others, so how could she take the initiative to take action?

The third prince and the fourth prince were also taken aback, and they all personally restrained the people in their lineage. During this period of time, they must not move around too much, and it is best not to contact each other, so as not to be discovered by Chen Rong, and they will follow in the footsteps of the fifth prince .After more than half a year like this, the thieves still disappeared without a trace, the emperor had to let Chen Rong withdraw, and the people in Beijing were relieved.

At this time, it was halfway through October, and the wedding date for the third Grandma Zhen in Ningguo Mansion was fixed on October [-]th.

Jia Zhen was free at this time, and only watched Jia Rong and Jia Qiang each receive a job, surrounded by a group of stewards waiting to answer, and then the two brothers tried to explain their meaning in short words as much as possible. With a wave of those people, they should give money and money, and they should take things and take things.

It seems rather stern.No matter how picky Jia Zhen is, she has to admit that when she was their age, no one else had a way of doing things.However, they completely regarded themselves as nothing to the two of them, and they had no intention of discussing with themselves as the client, so they were still a little annoyed.

"Why don't you use big red curtains in the new house?" Jia Zhen finally found something wrong, and looked at Jia Rong with a sullen face.

Jia Rong gave him a puzzled look, and said calmly, "My wife told me that the decoration of the house is left to Sun He's family, and Qiang'er and I just take care of outside affairs." Ask your mother if you have anything to do.

Apart from continuing to walk away with a sullen face, what else could Jia Zhen say?I didn't see that Jia Jing had already come over with Jia Yuan in his arms. That little girl has a lot of eyes, and every time she meets her, she wants the master to beat her, so it's better to hide away.

"Brother, wait for me." Jia Yuan speaks more fluently now, how can Jia Zhen be let go?It's just that Jia Jing's face is darker than Jia Zhen's when she faced Jia Rong just now: "You are about to get married three times, and you don't know how to salute and say hello when you meet someone, do you not see me as a father? "

Now Jia Zhen knelt down without moving, but she still didn't know how to defend herself, so she had to keep her face stiff, making Jia Jing even more angry.That's all, Jia Rong and the two over there are telling others to work hard, Jia Jing directly asked Jia Zhen to follow his example: "It's not even as good as the two children, and they are as old as dogs."

Jia Yuan understood again, and slapped his hands to imitate the tongue: "Live to a dog, brother is a dog."

All right, you're right, I might be worse than a dog in the eyes of the master.Jia Zhen had resigned herself to her fate, and it wasn't until October [-]th when she lifted the bride's hijab that she felt that her wife still loved her.

The bride is not as mediocre as he imagined, the carefully outlined makeup, reflected in the flickering candlelight, looks extraordinarily delicate and beautiful, and it is different from Youshi's terrified expression back then. .

This made Jia Zhen more obedient to Mrs. Dou. After returning home, she personally went through the mansion and invited her mother-in-law into Ningguo Mansion. She only said that Mrs. Mu was reluctant to bear her daughter and wanted to be a guest in Ningguo Mansion for a few days. Mrs. Dou, the mother and daughter of the Mu family are very grateful.

With the addition of a bride to the Ningguo Mansion, Mrs. Dou's housekeeper's burden was lightened, and the princes were scared by Chen Rong's actions a few days ago.

She didn't let the housekeeper's affairs go to the Mu family all at once, but carefully observed the Mu family's mother and daughter for a period of time before making the decision to delegate power - it was not easy to pass Madam Dou's observation, she You don't need to send someone to be an eyeliner, you can observe in all directions and in all time and space.

Mu's personality is gentle and gentle, maybe he felt that he was getting married at such an old age, and he felt a little inferior, so he was polite to the people in Shangning State Mansion.If Mrs. Dou had not cleaned up the servants of Ningguo Mansion several times already, within a few days, those lawless things would dare to stand on the head of Mrs. Mu.

Even if no one dares to be a monster now, no one in the house would say that the new grandma is easier to talk to than the wife.Jia Rong was still somewhat resistant to Mu's family. Several times, without waiting for Mrs. Dou's reminder, Mu's family changed clothes, added decorations, and gave Jia Rong and Jia Qiang two pens and papers. Jia Rong gradually accepted her kindness.

Let Mrs. Dou say that Jia Rong may not really accept the Mu family in her heart, but it is enough to be courteous on the surface. The stepmother's son-in-law is really like a mother and son. Mrs. Dou herself feels horrified.

Ningguo Mansion also has some family property, no one can guarantee that they will not be tempted.It's good to be respectful like that.

As for Jia Zhen, she is very satisfied with Mu Shi now, because Mu Shi is very popular with Jia Yuan's children, and she has secretly begged for love several times behind her back, so Jia Yuan doesn't want Jia Jing to beat her brother.It almost made Jia Zhen feel that her daughter-in-law is a lucky star, and she can't wait to confess her every day.

Mrs. Mu was recognized by everyone, and Mrs. Dou asked her to take care of the sewing and warehouse.After taking care of her for a while, seeing that although she speaks kindly, she has her own bottom line, and it is difficult for others to fool her, so she handed over the kitchen to her again.

Since taking over the kitchen, Mu's family has been able to use his skills.When she was in her natal family, she had only her mother and two, and she didn't go out much, except for sewing and thinking about food.

Mu Shi, who was born in a scholarly family, eats elegantly, flowers and fruits are all in his meals, and he can see his intentions everywhere.Each new dish is accompanied by an ingenious dish name, which has made it a habit for the masters of Ningguo Mansion. Every time a dish is served, first think about what the name of the dish might be called, and wait for the girl to report the name of the dish to compare. What is the difference between what you take and what Mu Moser takes.

Sometimes for a naming right, everyone can fight with red faces.Only the little girl Jia Yuan chose the most down-to-earth name. Except for the ingredients she couldn’t see, she could call whatever she made, for which she was despised several times by Jia Jing.

Mrs. Dou felt that her daughter was very vulgar and elegant. What's the name of the thing and she wanted to eat it in her stomach?Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Mrs. Mu was afraid that Mrs. Dou would think she was hypocritical, so she didn't dare to ask the girl to report the name of the dish for several days.

The first ones who were unwilling were Jia Rong and Jia Qiang. They secretly made a bet to see who could guess the name of the dish closest to the name chosen by Mu.Now that the girl doesn't declare the name of the dish, what about the bet?The two of them wanted to act like a baby to Mrs. Dou.

Mrs. Dou called Mrs. Mu over to ask, Mrs. Mu became even more terrified: "I wanted to make everyone eat more interesting. I didn't want to waste my energy because of it. It's my fault."

Jia Rong muttered unhappily: "I only think about it when I see the dishes, so what's the trouble?" Jia Qiang nodded straightly.

Mrs. Dou also smiled: "You are too careful. Our family is all rough people. It is hard for you to lead them to live a delicate life for two days. How can you give up halfway? Let the girls know the names of the dishes. That's right, let those people learn a lot at the next banquet."

With her mother-in-law's permission, Mu's work became even more enjoyable. Her mother couldn't help but remind her: "Your mother-in-law is kind, so don't get too excited. Being a daughter-in-law is no better than being in your mother's house."

Mu's smile was satisfied: "Mom, don't worry about this. Our wife said that now that Mom lives in the mansion, it's like I'm in my natal family. Let me persuade Mom not to be shy and uncomfortable, everyone What to say, what to do, what to do, is a family.”

Mrs. Mu opened her mouth wide open, "Which world did you get your blessing from?"

Don't care about the blessings from which life, Madam Dou heard the conversation between the two mothers, and handed over the purchases in the mansion to Mrs. Mu, and she only took Jia Yuan to have fun every day-now the days of Ningguo Mansion are called In order to be happy, Mrs. Dou also slackened down.

In order to find something to do for herself, she gathered around the Rongguo Mansion to watch a play.It's really watching a play.What happened in the Rongguo Mansion was not just family affairs, but brothers fighting against each other, sisters-in-law fighting, and mother and son seizing power.

Mrs. Dou is also frightened by the fact that spatial abilities cannot be used in the last days. In this life, besides not directly attacking the royal family, she also needs to participate more in the world of red chambers. In the previous life, Jia Zhu broke free from the shackles of the capital early and left Far away, who knows if this is the reason.

Surrounding the Rongguo Mansion by myself, it can be regarded as participating in the world of Red Mansions. Madam Dou comforted herself from time to time, refusing to admit that she is extremely poor and boring now, and treats the Rongguo Mansion family as a theater.
