After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Even in modern times, it is not easy for a married daughter to go back to her mother's house for a short stay, not to mention that the Lin Jia family is a wealthy family with many rules, and everything about food, clothing, housing and transportation is very meticulous.

Mother Jia asked people to tidy up Jia Min's small building before she got married, but Mrs. Wang was in charge of the house, so she might really let people clean it up, but it was just doing things indiscriminately.

The maids and servants were also a little dumbfounded when they saw the situation in the small building. Don't talk about keeping customers, I am afraid that people will see and think there is something wrong in Rongguo Mansion.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, everyone knew that the second wife and the fourth aunt were not good, but it was a bit obvious that it was not good to be like this.

Forced to do so, in the end everyone could only beg on the head of Wang Xifeng who was still in confinement.

Because of the premature birth, Wang Xifeng was ordered by the doctor to confine herself to confinement. Wang Xifeng thought that her body was good enough, and her temperament was really restless, so she was very depressed. When she heard about this, she immediately said Everything has to be done personally, and the matter should be done well and completely.

Seeing Wang Xifeng getting out of bed recklessly, Ping'er on the side became anxious, quickly held Wang Xifeng down and said, "My girl, it seems that you got involved in this matter."

At first glance, it seems that Mrs. Wang doesn't like the fourth aunt and she is doing her best to make trouble for the fourth aunt, but in fact, there may be some unhappiness between the second wife and the old lady.

You know, this is what the old lady personally ordered, even if you don't do it well, it's not difficult to do it well, right?But Mrs. Wang was able to make a mess of this matter, which was clearly intentional. What would a girl, a new daughter-in-law, do if she got involved?At that time, he will become cannon fodder, and he will not be able to end up as a decoration like Mrs. Xing.

Ping'er explained this truth to Wang Xifeng in detail, Wang Xifeng frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered, she sighed: "What's all this?"

Fourth Aunt's return to Beijing is a happy event. Why is the good-natured aunt using Fourth Aunt as a raft? It's making trouble for the younger generations.

Although she was not in the Rongqing Hall, everything in the Rongqing Hall could not escape her eyes and ears, so she naturally knew about the embarrassing incident of Baoyu throwing jade.

According to her, this Baoyu is really annoying. As Daiyu said, he was the only one in the Jin Dynasty who was born with the title of jade. How could other people have it? If you know it, you will know that Baoyu is just childish. If I don't know, I'm afraid I think Baoyu was born with jade on purpose, and I'm shabby.

Of course, she would never admit that she was dazzled by the gifts sent by her fourth aunt.

The five generations of the Lin family inherited the title, and their family background is no worse than that of the Rongguo Mansion. Jia Min also sincerely wanted to celebrate Jia's mother's birthday this trip. People have a share and never fail.

Even if Wang Xifeng could not see her during confinement, Jia Min also asked someone to send a generous gift, all of which could be used by a young daughter-in-law of Wang Xifeng's age. Bead jewelry is small and delicate and made of filigree. It is extremely light and light, even if it is worn by a child, it will not feel heavy. It can be seen that it has been carefully put into it.

Of course, Wang Xifeng's own dowry is generous, which is not bad, but after knowing that Jia Lian's gift is the heaviest, which is much better than Baoyu's, she is inevitably a little happy.

The so-called Husband Rong and Wife Rong, she and Jia Lian are one. Usually, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion ignore Jia Lian and only pay attention to Baoyu, which somewhat makes her face dull. It is rare for someone to value her husband. The last one was off.

But no matter how biased she was, she did not dare to disobey Mrs. Wang's wishes. After all, the fourth aunt was a guest and would leave soon, and she still had to deal with the second wife, so it was not easy to offend her.

To Ping'er, Wang Xifeng had nothing to say, so she said it bluntly, "According to me, this aunt is too stingy, and the fourth aunt will only be back for a few days, so why bother? It's not good to be angry."

But Ping'er also secretly wondered, where did the second wife get the confidence to challenge the old lady?The old lady is a mother-in-law, no matter what, the old lady is right.

Furthermore, you must know that the two masters in the mansion are notoriously dutiful sons. If Mrs. Wang makes a lot of trouble, then the old lady just needs to tell the second master that the second wife will be able to please the second wife. The second wife's move is really unwise, unless the second wife has something that can hold the second master's grasp.

Don't think that this house fight is a woman's business, but the final result depends on the man, otherwise, how could there be such a thing as spoiling concubines and destroying wives.

Although Ping'er was puzzled, she only thought about it for a while, then put this matter aside and kept persuading Wang Xifeng not to get involved in it.

Wang Xifeng pondered slightly, and agreed: "You're right. My aunt is my real aunt, and the old lady treats me very well. It's no one's good for me to be wrong about this matter. Let's just say that I still don't care about it. If you haven’t taken care of your body well, you really can’t get up, so please ask Nanny Lai to deal with it.”

Nanny Lai is also an old man in the mansion, and her son and daughter-in-law are also the chief housekeeper and nanny in charge of the Rongguo Mansion. With her in charge, they will be able to handle it properly, and it will not hurt their Rongguo Mansion's face.

Ping'er breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately asked people to transfer the matter to Nanny Lai without mentioning it.

Nanny Lai never expected Mrs. Wang to be able to do such a small thing in tidying up Jia Min's small courtyard before she got married. Although she was dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang looking for trouble for her, what can she do as a slave?I could only hold my nose and tidy up the small building without mentioning it.

Mother Jia is 70 years old, and Nanny Lai is not much younger than Mother Jia. Even just staring at maids and servants doing things, she is really tired, and she is almost exhausted to death. Although I didn't dare to say anything, I was annoyed that Wang's aunt and nephew didn't mention it.

Mother Jia and Jia Min's mother and daughter saw each other again. Naturally, there were endless things to say, and the two children were hindered. There were many things that were hard to say, especially about the Zhen family. There is really no way to say in front of brother 〉 that in order to please the Zhen family, he asked brother で to die.

When Mother Jia was about to send the two children away, Mrs. Xing had a rare cleverness and said with a smile: "Knowing that the eldest niece and brother だ are coming, the master has long been eager for help. I will take the two children to see her." See you, sir."

As soon as she heard that she was going to see Jia Amnesty, Daiyu's eyes lit up immediately. She still didn't understand how the wise and powerful uncle in her memory became the dandy boy in everyone's mouth?

But it's not important, hearing is believing, seeing is believing, she can verify it with her own eyes.

"That's fine." Mother Jia also nodded in agreement, not forgetting to mention: "You have to be careful, don't let that bastard frighten the two children."

Mrs. Xing replied with a smile: "Yes, my wife understands."

Hearing that Mrs. Xing wanted to take Daiyu to see Jia Amnesty, Jia Min frowned slightly, she was not happy at all, since she was raised under Jia Mu's lap since she was a child, she had heard that her eldest brother was not as good as her second brother, and that her eldest brother was an adult After that, I didn't see the tree at all, so I naturally despised my elder brother.

She specially chose Jia Zheng's holiday to go back to the residence on this trip, and she also wanted to let the children get closer to their second uncle, so that they could learn from their second uncle, not from their eldest uncle, but Mrs. Xing persuaded Jia Zheng diligently. It's not easy for Min to say no.

Besides, she was already at odds with Mrs. Wang, and Daiyu had vividly described the worm in Baoyu's head earlier. She was also afraid of what Mrs. Wang would do to her two children in a fit of anger. , she asked the two children to follow Mrs. Xing to meet her elder brother.

Anyway, it's just a meeting, it shouldn't be so easy to be led astray... right?

Poor Jia Min doesn't know that Daiyu has been led to ruin a long time ago, and now she just can't suppress her nature.

As soon as Mrs. Xing left with her two children, Mother Jia dismissed the maids casually. After she and Jia Min were left alone in the room, Mother Jia said bluntly, "Hand over that Zhen Li, the Zhen family If you really like brother [-], mother will help you make peace, then you can keep brother [-], but Zhen Li must not be kept."

The Zhen family made it clear that as long as Zhen Li is gone, other conditions can be negotiated. Not only will they not attack the Lin family again, but they also promised to give Yuanchun girl to the new crown prince's womb through the hands of Concubine Zhen. .

Although the position of concubine for the new crown prince is full, with the help of the Zhen family and the status of the Rongguo Mansion, a noble concubine from the fifth rank will not be able to escape. Coupled with Baoyu, their Rongguo Mansion will be able to rise again by then, and she will have the face to meet the old Duke under Jiuquan.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu's heart suddenly became hot, and she couldn't bear to press her daughter to agree immediately.

"Old lady!" Although she had already guessed what Jia Mu would say to her, Jia Min never thought that Jia Mu would really know about Brother Wu!

Jia Min couldn't help but said angrily: "Mother! How many benefits did the Zhen family promise you? You were asked to help the Zhen family to assassinate my Lin family's heir!?"

"You silly child!" Seeing Jia Min so angry, Jia's mother was also a little angry: "I am doing this for your own good. Lin Ruhai is like a young man who patrols salt. He patrols salt as well, but that one like him Seriously? Lin Ruhai has blocked the way of many people, if I hadn’t made peace with you all these years, do you think Lin Ruhai can live till now?”

Thinking of her sadness, Jia's mother couldn't help crying, "Who am I doing this for? Not for your daughter! I didn't expect you to blame me."

"Mother...I..." It's not that Jia Min didn't know that Jia's mother helped Ru Hai and the Zhen family a lot in private, otherwise Lin Ru Hai's real strength might have been torn down by others.

Jia Min explained: "My husband is also loyal to the country."

In the end, I was a little out of breath.

Jia's mother said angrily: "Is being loyal to the country just taking your family's life to be loyal? Now the Zhen family is only taking the life of Brother て, it's already showing mercy!"

Jia Min turned her face away. At this time, she was really stubborn. There is nothing wrong with her husband. Why do those people want to kill their children and want to cut off their Lin family's blood!

Jia's mother earnestly persuaded: "Listen to what mother said, as long as the Zhen family has Mrs. Fengsheng, it will definitely not fail. Hand over Zhen Li, and mother will help you make peace, maybe you can keep brother か, when the time comes, you will have sons and daughters, wouldn't it be kind? A Zhen Li is really not worth it!"

Mother Jia gritted her teeth, and said again: "You also know that what Lin Ruhai did has caused public outrage. I don't know how many people want to get a place from Brother Wu. As long as you are willing to hand Zhen Li over to the Zhen family, the Zhen family will So he promised to give Brother Wu a girl from the offspring of the Zhen family, this is Brother Wu's amulet, better than anything else!"

It's worth it to exchange one life for the Zhen family's, and save one's own child by the way!

Jia Min lowered her eyes slightly, and said bluntly, "Zhen Li is no longer in my hands."
