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

Jia She looked at Jia's mother with a look of surprise: "Old lady, although the second child was not exiled and imprisoned, it is a fact that he was convicted by the Holy One. I dare not stay in the mansion for such a person, lest one day those two eyes Do something with a big heart and an empty heart, I am still in the dark, this third-class general will not be able to do it, and those who don’t understand will be in bad luck.”

In Rongqing Hall, a war of words and guns started, and Jia Amnesty defeated all three of Jia Mu: he will immediately submit a letter to ask the Ministry of Rites to come to restructure the mansion, and now this mansion is no longer Rongguo Mansion, he wants to be restructured into a third-class general government.That is the third-class general's mansion. As a third-class general, he can let anyone live in his mansion if he wants to live in his mansion, and whoever he doesn't want to live in can live in his mansion.

Jia's mother cried, scolded, and quarreled about going back to Jinling, but Jia Amnesty remained unmoved.He bit one to death: Jia Zheng's heart is too big, but his ability is too small, and he doesn't know people clearly. If he stays in the mansion again, maybe the mansion will be taken over by someone at any time.

You can choose yourself, old lady, do you choose to be an old lord in the third-class general's mansion safely, or you don't know when you will be sold on the street? !

Jia's mother had no choice, even if Jia Baoyu heard the news and came to accompany Jia Zheng and his wife to cry and beg together, she could only shed tears and said no more about continuing to stay with Jia Zheng in the mansion.

However, Mother Jia also had a request, that is, since Jia Zheng had already moved out of the Rongguo Mansion, he should divide the contents of the mansion into two and let Jia Zheng take his share.

Jia Amnesty looked at Mother Jia with the expression of are you kidding me: "Old lady, I am the eldest son, so there is nothing less that I deserve. There are also imperial gifts over the years, and they must be placed in anyone's room." Hand it back to the public school, and I will go to the Ministry of Rites to punish me if I am short of one."

Jia's mother had no choice but to give in and agreed to let Jia Zheng share [-]% of the family wealth.Jia Amnesty, who already knew Jia Min's intentions, could not agree, and told Jia's mother directly: "The court law stipulates that [-]% should be divided by the eldest son, [-]% by the other sons, and [-]% by the bastard. Since I Fortunately, there are no concubine brothers, so the share should be given to me."

Are you still shameless?Mother Jia didn't ask this question - it was a foregone conclusion for Jia Zheng to leave the government, and she could only count on Jia Amnesty to take care of her family in the future.Originally, she was not close to Jia She, if she fought for Jia Zheng more, she might not even see Jia She in person in the future.

Mother Jia didn't dare to think about what kind of life an old lady who didn't get the respect of the patriarch would live. She only hoped that her current knowledge would make Jia Amnesty forget all the injustices she had done to him in the past.

Jia Zheng was very dissatisfied with Jia's mother who suddenly stopped fighting for him, but now he dared not complain in front of Jia Amnesty—out of the Rongguo Mansion, he was just a white man with a little money, and he still had something to look forward to in the future. Jia Amnesty was able to extend a helping hand, and he had to count on Jia's mother to say a word or two in front of Jia Amnesty for him.

The most reconciled was Mrs. Wang, she knew that Jia Zheng had some private houses, but that private house was enough to make jewelry for his concubines to make two sets of clothes, which was nothing compared to the 40 taels gap.Shouldn't the rest of the money have to come from his own dowry and private house?

But Mrs. Wang dared not give out the money. Whoever asked the old treasury to hand over the money to Wang Ziteng through her hands was still the kind of delivery method that could not tell the reason.Mrs. Wang believed that if she dared to pay less than one tael of silver, Jia Amnesty would really dare to report to the officials.

Within three days, Jia Zhengyifang quietly moved out of Rongguo Mansion, taking away nothing but Mrs. Wang's dowry family and a little dowry left over.Originally, Jia's mother wanted to keep Jia Baoyu, but Jia Amnesty demanded that Jia Zheng must pay Jia Baoyu 500 taels of meal money every month.

Jia Zheng, who already knew that there was nothing left in his room, was no longer arrogant and silent, and stared at Jia Baoyu as he went to pack his things.Jia Amnesty let people check even the things in Jia Baoyu's own room one by one, and everything that had appeared in the public account was withheld.

Jia Min was very satisfied with driving people out in such a vicious way, and told Jia Lian directly that Lin Ruhai had already said that when the fourth prince was dealt with, he could go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to take the exam, so happy that Jia Lian repeatedly assured Jia Min , I will prepare for the exam well.

Jia Min was very satisfied with the result, and only asked Lin An to send people to see how Jia Zheng's first room was doing from time to time. If it was too comfortable, he might as well find something for them to do and let it go.

Because she already knew why Grandma He's eyes were so bright when she saw Daiyu that day!

It was a coincidence that Lin Ruhai had already retired from his official position for his teacher's birthday. Although it was not a big event, as a student, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min to celebrate the old man's birthday.This old gentleman has quite a few students, but after two battles for the heir apparent and several prince turmoil, not many of them remained in the capital as officials. It is very gratifying to see Lin Ruhai, a disciple, personally come to pay his birthday greetings to him. .

Even Jia Min was welcomed by the female relatives—although the master is retired, his sons and grandchildren are still in the officialdom. It is not an exaggeration for Lin Ruhai to say that he has a very high status as a minister.There are only advantages and no disadvantages in making friends with Mrs. Lin.

So the witty female relatives approached Jia Min, saying that her cousin was Daiyu's future sister-in-law, Grandma He.

Jia Min naturally wanted to say good things after hearing this, and couldn't stop talking about how well Grandma He and Daiyu got along, how the two of them shared similar interests, etc.The cousin of Grandma He said: "I never thought Miss Lin is good at painting at such a young age."

Grandma He is good at painting?Jia Min heard something, and shook her head to deny the flattery: "Although the young woman has also learned two strokes, how can she compare with the national player of Danqing like Grandma He?"

Grandma He's cousin was not humble for her cousin: "My cousin is nothing else, a small portrait of a character is the most vivid."

What else does Jia Min not understand? !No wonder Grandma He held on to Daiyu when she saw her that day and kept looking at her. She probably came to her home with a mission.Jia Min, who has experienced modern times, may not care about her daughter being quietly painted, but as Daiyu's mother in this era, Jia Min has to care.

Daiyu and He Gang have just accepted, and only one of the six ceremonies has been performed. In the future, there will be an important link of combining horoscopes. If the He family has any dissatisfaction with Daiyu, they can use the horoscopes as an excuse.At that time, could the Lin family force the He family to marry Daiyu?

Thinking about it this way, when the He family painted Daiyu's small portrait, they simply didn't take Daiyu's fame to heart!

A few days later, Mrs. He received a post sent by Jia Min, stating that she had something to ask for advice from He Mansion.

Naturally, there was no mention in the post about what to ask, and the meaning of the brush was a little angry, and Mrs. He felt a little guilty holding the post.However, thinking that I and the Lin family were already in-laws who had been registered in the palace, I felt a little guilty. At that time, my master only had a verbal agreement with Lin Shangshu to see each other, so the Lin family regarded him as a perfunctory The shield of the imperial concubine.

If she hadn't directly agreed to it, Lin Daiyu would have been dragged into the fourth prince's mansion by Concubine Zhen, and then implicated by Concubine Zhen and the fourth prince. But he was also expelled from the clan, and the whole family was imprisoned forever in Zhuangzi next to the imperial mausoleum.Concubine Zhen Taigui was thrown into the cold palace, and the ending can be imagined.

It's not that my family is engaged to the Lin family. Can Lin Daiyu, a girl who was once favored by Concubine Zhen, be able to marry?

Mrs. He, who was persuaded to feel at ease by herself, greeted Jia Min at the second gate with a smile.Jia Min was dressed in straight turmeric, her hair was combed neatly, and the Wufeng hairpin in her hair didn't even shake when she walked.The coldness on the face is full, and the corners of the lips are slightly angry.

Mrs. He's heart skipped a beat, and her words became more intimate: "It's rare that you have time to come here to play with me today. If you don't come again, I will think I have offended you."

Jia Min glanced sideways at Mrs. He, but didn't answer, and asked instead, "Why don't you see your grandma?"

Seeing that Jia Min didn't have a smile at all, Mrs. He replied cautiously: "She is a junior, and she is making refreshments for us."

During the conversation, they had reached the main room, and after the two of them were divided into guests and hosts, Jia Min didn't gossip with Mrs. He, but directly said: "I don't know something, I want to ask for advice in private, and I would like to ask Mrs. He for your convenience. If the grandma of your family is free, it is best to ask for advice."

Mrs. He saw that her face was full of persistence, so she had to ask Grandma to come over quickly.Grandma He entered in response, and was about to salute Jia Min when she was stopped by Jia Min: "Grandma is very intelligent, beautiful, and beautiful, I can't stand this salute."

Grandma He froze on the spot, and Mrs. He quickly waved her hands to let the maids and women out, and said awkwardly to Jia Min: "You are an elder, why can't you accept her courtesy?"

Jia Min refused to give in at all: "What a grandma from a scholarly background, what a talented woman who is good at painting pictures. I just don't know if other wives know that if I participate in a flower party banquet, I will be unknowingly rejected." People painted small portraits, and I don't know who fell into their hands, and I can be like Mrs. He, who thinks that a gift can wipe it off."

The faces of Mrs. He and Grandma He suddenly turned pale.The accusation that Jia Min gave to Grandma He was too great, let alone a small portrait of the female relatives in this world, even a single word cannot be spread outside.If other family members know about it, the He family will not have to gain a foothold in Beijing in the future.

Mrs. He froze, and said to Jia Min with difficulty: "But this child has offended you, you just teach her. As for the painting of small portraits you mentioned, she absolutely dare not."

Jia Min sneered twice: "Don't dare? Mrs. He, how dare you say that your good daughter-in-law has never painted a small portrait of Yu'er for anyone to see after seeing Yu'er last time?"

The He family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opened and closed their mouths, unable to utter any words of defense.Jia Min also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are honest people, and they are willing to admit what they have done.Otherwise, if she met that thick-skinned person, she wouldn't admit it even if she was beaten to death, and she would have no proof.

After a while, Mrs. He slowly explained to Jia Min why Grandma He had to draw a small portrait of Daiyu: Because He Gang was the youngest son, he was well-loved at home and had a stubborn temper.When I told him about my marriage that day, I said that my eldest brother He Lie won the Jinshi before getting married, and I had to start a career before starting a family.

At that time, He Shilang had already tacitly agreed with Lin Ruhai, so he refused to do what he wanted. After accepting him, this kid was like a god at home, and he didn't even want to read books.What did he say that since his parents insisted on letting him get married first, then why is he still studying, reading books with the bride in the bridal chamber?

He Shilang was so angry that he wanted to fight. Mrs. He felt sorry for her youngest son, and seeing that the new emperor wanted to open Enke when he ascended the throne, she thought of a way.That is the eldest daughter-in-law who made herself good at drawing small portraits of people. After seeing Daiyu, she returned home and quietly drew a small portrait of Daiyu to show He Gang to reassure him.

She didn't want Jia Min to ask Jia Min about something that was only known to the three of them. Mrs. He begged Jia Min and said, "This is all my idea. If you blame me, just blame me, and don't do anything about my daughter-in-law. .”

Jia Min's heart twitched when he heard this, he dared to say that He Gang hadn't passed the second term of middle school yet, why did he start a career before starting a family, and after seeing Daiyu's small portrait, he gave away the zodiac?Can such a child really cover Daiyu from the rain?

She took out something from her sleeve and handed it to Mrs. He: "Mrs. He, women's fame is so important. The behavior of your family makes me feel that your family judges people by appearance. The ugly face of the little girl deserves it. Return this thing. Don't give it up." I will serve it later."

Mrs. He had seen that what Jia Min took out was the most important token of her family's Biancai. Jia Min returned it at this time, and her intentions were self-evident.

"Mrs. Lin," Grandma He regained her voice at this time, and wanted to help her mother-in-law: "I acted recklessly, and Mrs. Lin will be beaten or punished. The two families have made a decision. Retreat if you can say it, and spread the name of sister Daiyu..."

"Grandma He Danqing, did you ever think about Yu'er's pure name?" Jia Min looked at Grandma He with a knife-like gaze: "The Zeng family is also a family of poetry and etiquette. Do you want me, an outsider, to tell Grandma He about it?" You did become a good person in front of your mother-in-law, but you did it by ruining other people's reputation!

Perhaps Jia Min was usually gentle and gentle, but Mrs. He and Grandma He didn't know how to deal with such an anger, and they were speechless for a long time.Jia Min didn't want to say much, and said directly to Mrs. He: "Madam He, please return the portrait of the little girl, and this thing will also be returned to Zhao. How to talk about the dissolution of the engagement to the outside world, I am confident that my master will discuss it with He Shilang."

After finishing speaking, he didn't speak again, just put the Yu Linglong who was said to be the heirloom of the He family on the table, and waited quietly for Mrs. He to hand over the small portrait of Daiyu.Seeing Jia Min's resolute attitude, Mrs. He hesitated and sent someone to He Gang's study to make sure he came to the main courtyard as soon as possible.

When He Gang arrived, Zhi Pianting learned that Mrs. Lin had come to his house to inquire about her crimes, and wanted to get back Daiyu's portrait, and suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall: young Mu Ai, seeing Daiyu's portrait Like, after hearing Mrs. He and Grandma He talk about Daiyu's various good things, he has already carved a beautiful image in his heart, and he only hopes that when he can marry someone into the door soon.

Now Mrs. Lin is coming to withdraw the engagement, and the reason for withdrawing the engagement is that her family has acted imprudently! !

He Gang felt that if he handed over Daiyu's portrait now, maybe the two of them would never be able to again in this life.So no matter how Mrs. He persuaded him, he refused to hand it over.

It was as if Jia Min hadn't heard the faint quarrel between the mother and the son in the side hall. It was time to drink tea, to eat snacks, and even though it was past meal time, she still had no intention of leaving He Fu.

Grandma He, who has always been anxiously accompanying Jia Min, does not know how to describe this Mrs. Lin: The marriage between the two houses seems to be impossible, and the impact on the woman's family is greater than that of the man's family. Still in the mood to eat and drink?

The male masters of the two mansions returned to He Mansion together - Jia Min had told Lin An before leaving home that if he did not return after noon, he would send someone to the yamen to deliver a letter to the master, telling him that he was waiting for him in He Mansion.

Lin Ruhai was also very angry when she found out that Grandma He had secretly painted the portrait of Daiyu, but she didn't quite agree with Jia Min's suggestion that she was going to withdraw from the marriage.When Lin An came to the Yamen and said that his wife was waiting for him in He Mansion, he knew that his wife had gone to He Mansion to retire.

So he hurried to the Ministry of Rites to find He Shilang who didn't know about it, and told him that Jia Min might go to He Mansion to retire today.When He Shilang heard what his wife and eldest daughter-in-law had done, he blushed like a monkey's ass, and couldn't stop apologizing to Lin Ruhai, saying that he would teach the careless mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a lesson after returning home.

Lin Ruhai said bluntly: "It's too late to say anything now. My wife is usually gentle and courteous, but her two children are her bottom line. This time, Mrs. Madam..." Wait for the skin to peel off.

He Shilang has always been very proud of his youngest son's marriage to the Lin family.Now who in the court can't see that the saint has a lot of reliance on Lin Ruhai, and it will be a matter of time before this person enters the cabinet.But his son is still young, even if he won the first place in the county examination, it will take six or seven years before he can become a Jinshi.In the past six or seven years, Lin Ruhai will fully help her youngest son!

Even in his own house, he became a relative by marriage with the Lin family, even if Lin Ruhai didn't take care of him specially, others would respect him a little bit.Who knew that his wife would do such a foolish thing.

Therefore, He Shilang made a solid salute to Jia Min who was behind the screen: "My humble wife has offended Mrs. Lin, and please forgive her for the sake of the two in-laws. "

No one answered behind the screen, Lin Ruhai said to He Shilang: "Forget it, even if the young master of your family didn't like my daughter in the first place, it's better not to force it." After seeing the portrait, he agreed, which shows that he is a superficial person.

He Gang waited in the main room early, and when he heard what Lin Ruhai said, he knelt down directly: "The boy was young and energetic back then, and he felt that he was not good enough for Miss Lin, so he made a wish that he must be a Jinshi before he could start a family. If you don't like Miss Lin, Master Lin please think again."

There was a sneer from the screen, and there was an indescribable contempt inside.He Gang's face was completely pale, and He Shilang only bowed his hands to Lin Ruhai frequently, asking him to persuade Jia Min.

Inside the screen, Jia Min said to the outside world: "Since ancient times, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been difficult, and sister-in-law has been difficult. Just when the two families had some wishes, Mrs. He and Grandma He used such a prestige on my daughter, so that I can safely marry my daughter into the He family. ?”

When Lin Ruhai heard Jia Min speak directly about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's difficulties, and sister-in-law's embarrassment, the corners of Lin Ruhai's mouth couldn't help twitching, and he looked at He Shilang.

He Shilang also looked bewildered. Are people speaking so directly nowadays?Aren't we all scholars, how should people answer when we put words on the table?

Mrs. He and Grandma He, who were both behind the screen, wished there was a crack in the floor for them to slip in. Both of them had an idea in their hearts, that is, let's just retire if this relative retires. There is such a difficult in-law ( In-law's wife), that Miss Lin is not something she can control herself, how can she get along with her when she marries into the family?

It's a pity that He Shilang couldn't hear their voices, and he wanted to save the marriage, so he yelled angrily at the back of the screen: "Ignorant woman, you have done a good deed. Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Lin?"

We all paid for the ceremony all morning, and they didn't accept it.Mrs. He and Grandma He stood up obediently again, and both bowed to Jia Min, as if they would not get up if Jia Min did not forgive them.

He Gang outside even kneeled in front of Lin Ruhai: "It's because my nephew didn't think carefully, and I begged Lord Lin to give my nephew another chance. Please rest assured, Lord Lin, my nephew will treat Miss Lin wholeheartedly and put her first in everything." , don’t let her suffer any grievances. My nephew will study hard, strive to be the best like Master Lin, and then marry Miss Lin in a glorious manner.”

Mrs. He, who had been paying attention to Jia Min's complexion in the screen, found that Jia Min's complexion improved obviously after his son said that he would treat Miss Lin wholeheartedly and put her first in everything and would not let her suffer any grievances.

In his heart, he also said to Jia Min: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lin, the He family has always been strict in family style, and there is no such thing as stuffing people in the children's room. Daughter-in-law, it's just that she has soft ears, and it's not difficult to get along with. After Miss Lin enters the door, I will treat her as my own girl."

After she finished speaking, Jia Min's complexion returned to a frosty state, making Mrs. He unable to think of what she said wrong.Outside, Lin Ruhai knew Jia Min's intentions, and said to He Shilang, "Just now when Na Cai made such an incident, even if my girl entered your house, the respected wife and Ling Xian's daughter-in-law would have a grudge. If the two governments are against each other, why not..."

He Shilang scolded his wife in his heart, and he had to make this marriage: "Master Lin doesn't know that the rule of the He family is that after all the heirs get married, they have to live in separate houses, so that in the future, if the head of the family has something to do, the children and grandchildren will have to do something. Wealth brothers fight against the wall."

Mrs. He wanted to say loudly that the He family had never had such a rule, but after the youngest son adopted it, the words that her master said to her echoed in her ears, and she swallowed the words that came to her mouth with her teeth gritted.

Grandma He was even more bitter in her heart. As a young couple who just got married, who wouldn't want the couple to live in peace.She knew the rule of not stuffing people into the room, but when was the separation of residences established?Could it be that when I serve my parents-in-law in the mansion, He Gang and his wife will go out of the mansion to live a happy life?

Obviously, I only went to Lin's mansion after listening to my mother-in-law's words, and painted a small portrait of Miss Lin.But Grandma He didn't dare to speak out, she was afraid that Mrs. Lin would really publicize the fact that she painted a small portrait of Miss Lin in private without anyone's permission.You know, her husband is only from the fifth grade now, and her father-in-law is just the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and she will still count on Lin Shangshu in the future...

Jia Min also listened to the words outside the screen, and seeing the expressions on the faces of Mrs. He and Grandma He, she suddenly felt relieved.
