After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Since the old lady of the Zhen family was able to enter the palace to be Ping Kangdi's nanny, she was naturally a woman who had given birth to children, but everyone knew that her pair of children were born by her at the age of 40. Emperor Pingkang was younger for several rounds, let alone Concubine Zhen.

As for where did the child born before Mrs. Zhen entered the palace go?Nobody knows.The old lady Zhen didn't talk about it, and the Zhen family didn't talk about it, as if that child never existed.

It is not easy to be a nanny in the palace, not to mention that you have to enter the palace when the child is still breastfeeding, and cannot take care of your newborn child; the little child has no mother to care for, and it depends on the man in the family And the old man took care of it. If the family members are careful, it would be better. If they are not careful, the motherless child is really pitiful.

The nannies in the palace were unable to return home for many years, and many people did not realize that their own flesh and blood had been treated harshly until they were able to return home, and it was even possible that their children had already died.

Losing a child suddenly, how could the mother not be sad, but so what if she was sad?There is no theory of filial piety in the palace. Besides, those who will enter the palace to be nurses are mostly children of poor families. No matter how painful the loss of a child is, it can't be as painful as your own belly. Didn't the nurse wipe away her tears and continue Back in the palace to be a nanny?

Even the old lady Zhen was no exception. After crying, she still returned to Emperor Pingkang's side to be a nurse, but her situation was slightly different from ordinary people. Her eldest daughter was abducted by her husband's concubine dropped.

After Mrs. Zhen gave birth to her eldest daughter, she had no choice but to enter the palace as a nurse. Because she only gave birth to a daughter, her husband took a cousin as a concubine on the grounds that she could not die. I don't know it was bad luck. It was Mrs. Zhen who did it secretly. In short, Mrs. Zhen and her cousin have never had any children, and they didn't even have a daughter.

For this reason, the cousin of the Zhen family prayed to the gods and worshiped Buddha for a long time, until a wandering Taoist bluntly said that the eldest daughter of the old lady Zhen was not compatible with her horoscope, which prevented her from having children. The eldest daughter of the old lady was kidnapped.

By the time Mrs. Zhen knew that her eldest daughter was missing, it would be several years later. Let alone looking for her daughter, she didn't even know whether her daughter was dead or alive.

Although later Mrs. Zhen directly killed the cousin of the Zhen family by relying on the power of Emperor Pingkang, and she directed her husband to the east and dared not go west. She gave birth to the brothers and sisters Zhen Yingjia when she was nearly 40 years old, and regained control Living in the Zhen family would not have given the big Zhen family cheap to the concubine, but the lost eldest daughter could never be found.

No one knows that Zhen Rou, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Zhen, was sold to the historian family and became Jia Mu's maid, and later became Jia Daishan's housemate by chance, and even gave birth to Jia Zheng. .

Even the old lady of the Zhen family and the Shi family who bought Zhenrou didn't know about this, let alone others, even Jia's mother knew that Zhenrou was the one who was trafficked by the old lady Zhenrou after Zhenrou became pregnant. Eldest daughter, if it weren't for this, Mother Jia wouldn't have to be so cruel and kill Zhen Rou to death.

Zhen Rou grew up with Jia's mother since she was a child, and she was loyal to Jia's mother. Jia's mother felt a little guilty about this. In the past, she favored Jia Zheng more, so much that she almost forgot that Baoyu was not hers. His own grandson is Zhen Rou's own grandson...

Thinking of this, Jia's mother's heart sank slightly, and she felt a little depressed for a while, feeling that she had hurt Baoyu for nothing.

Baoyu knows how to work on women the most. Seeing that Jia Mu was in a bad mood, she said that Jia Mu was frightened by him earlier, so she quickly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, old lady, my grandson just had a nightmare just now." , grandson is fine."

Mother Jia sighed slightly, forced a smile and said, "It's fine."

She paused and asked again: "Apart from the old woman surnamed Zhen, did you dream of anything else?"

Baoyu thought about it carefully, "It seems that there are some black hands..."

Thinking of the feeling of being pressed by those hands and covering his face with wet paper, Baoyu subconsciously shuddered again.

(Dark guards in black who don't deserve to have a face:...)

Jia Mu pondered for a while, listening to Baoyu's scene, it really tasted like the [-]th level of hell, but why did the good Baoyu get haunted by ghosts, and Zhenrou disappeared a long time ago, how could...

Jia Mu was puzzled, and then said a few words of comfort.

Baoyu was also very scared today, but after a short talk, he went back to rest. He looked around and asked doubtfully, "Why don't you see the attacker?"

Xiren is his eldest maid, and Xiren usually serves him.

Jia's mother pursed her lips and said nothing, and in the end, Yuanyang blushed and explained briefly. When she heard that the attacker had fallen into the cesspit, Baoyu immediately uttered a wow, and vomited all the soothing soup she had just taken. Don't bother with the matter of attacking people anymore.

The mandarin duck watched from the sidelines, feeling a little bit sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox. Although in Xiren's situation, he deserved to be relegated to being a rough servant girl, but Xiren has served Baoyu for a long time, and he is usually the most considerate. Xiren really did her best, and she only had Baoyu in her eyes. How could she, a servant bought from outside, be the big maid in front of Baoyu.

But now she just fell into the cesspit, and Baoyu allowed the old lady to relegate her to a rough servant girl, and she didn't even ask a single question, which really made Yuanyang feel a little chilled.

Baoyu's vomit made the Rongguo mansion very noisy, and he worked until midnight before resting. Even Jia Zheng came to see it for a while.

Seeing Jia's mother's exhausted face because of Baoyu, Jia Zheng advised: "The old lady doesn't have to worry about this animal. The number of children is determined by the fate, and Baoyu is up to it. Why bother for this animal?" Think about it.” (Note [-])

What Jia Zheng said was to feel sorry for Jia's mother, but it really made Jia's mother fall backwards in anger. She beat Jia Zheng several times with her crutches, "Baoyu is your own flesh and blood, how can you be so cruel."

Fortunately, Baoyu didn't hear this. If he knew, I don't know how disappointed it would be!

"Old lady!" Jia Zheng said aggrievedly, "My son loves the old lady too. It's really not worth it for such a little animal."

Jia Zheng was indeed filial, but Baoyu didn't suffer from any serious illness today, it was just a temporary depression, and Jia Zheng shouted to give up Baoyu, which really left everyone speechless.

Jia Mu sighed: "Baoyu is your own flesh and blood. If you don't love him and don't tell him, you always shout and kill him. You are a father, and you are really unkind!"

She was too lazy to talk to Jia Zheng. Baoyu was just a child. Although he was a little unprogressive on weekdays, he had a good heart. I don't know how well-behaved and considerate he was. The pearl powder came over, it can be seen that Baoyu is a pain in the ass.

Only Jia Zheng always looked down on Baoyu for some reason, calling for beating or killing. Last time, he took Baoyu's jade away, saying that it was to prevent Baoyu from being arrogant and arrogant with his piece of jade. Poor When Baoyu saw his father, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was terribly frightened, and he looked a little bit like a father and son.

Jia Zheng blushed in embarrassment, and murmured, "It's because this kid didn't live up to expectations, that's why my son..."

"Unbelievable!?" Jia Mu sneered, "If you don't earn your spirit, can you match Jia Huan's disappointment?"

Jia Huan can't even read all the characters, so it can be compared with Baoyu, and only an idiot like Jia Zheng can regard Jia Huan as a treasure.

Jia Zheng argued, "I can't blame Brother Huan for this matter. It's really Wang's fault for the child."

He only found out after Mrs. Wang left that Mrs. Wang asked Brother Huan to copy scriptures in her room from time to time. If you have the energy to study, you will be greatly delayed.

Mother Jia snorted coldly in disdain. This is not always the case with wives and concubines. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Aunt Zhao is young and beautiful, and Jia Zheng usually favors her. Brother Huan, there is a place for Wang and Baoyu to stand in this mansion!Only an idiot like Jia Zheng really believed that such things as harmony between wives and concubines really existed.

"Come on!" Mother Jia said disdainfully: "I don't bother to care about your house, I don't care how much you dote on Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao is just the child of our Rongguo Mansion, and she wants to be the second wife. Identity is simply not enough."

Jia Zheng said anxiously: "Old lady, but there must be no one to take care of my son's room."

He disliked Mrs. Wang before, but after Mrs. Wang left, things in his yard became more and more chaotic. Aunt Zhao didn't try to take care of it, but if her name was not correct, her words would not go well. It is somewhat inconvenient.

After thinking about it, he wanted to mention Aunt Zhao's identity so that it would be convenient for her to take care of the affairs of the second room. At the same time, Tanchun was growing up. His mother was a second roomer. It would sound better than being just an aunt, and it would be easier to marry in the future A better family.

"I've kept this in mind." Mother Jia said in a deep voice, "It's really inconvenient that Mrs. Wang is not here. Mother thinks that she will hire a daughter from a famous family to be your second wife."

What she said is not false. Wang Xifeng is not yet confinement, and now the entire Rongguo Mansion is under Li Wan's housekeeping. Li Wan is a cautious person, and he dare not make mistakes in half a step. Come to her, she is old after all, so she has the energy to be a housekeeper.

Although Wang Xifeng will give birth in a few days, but right now she and brother Lian are also at odds, so it is imperative to let the second room housekeeper.She was not going to let Mrs. Wang come back, and it was absolutely impossible to ask her aunt to be the housekeeper. After thinking about it, she had to let Jia Zheng marry a second wife and come back as the housekeeper.

As soon as he heard about marrying a second wife, Jia Zheng felt a rare shyness, and said coyly: "The son doesn't even point to the woman's dowry, as long as he has a good character."

The implication is that he has no objection to marrying a second wife.

Seeing Jia Zheng's reaction, Mother Jia immediately reminded her of Jia Daishan. She thought that when she wanted to make fun of Rou'er, Jia Daishan was twisted in every way, but after that, it's not just what should be done, and she needs to take good care of Rou'er. Woolen cloth.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother was a little displeased, and she was also a little indifferent towards Jia Zheng.

Jia Mu suddenly thought of something, and said: "Speaking of which, Baoyu's jade is still in your hands. Recently, Baoyu has been suffering a lot of troubles. You should return Baoyu's jade as soon as possible."

Jia Zheng was taken aback, he forgot that he had taken Baoyu's jade, and he couldn't remember where he put Baoyu's jade there, so he murmured, "My son will send the jade over later. "

Mother Jia didn't doubt him either, and after saying a few words, she waved Jia Zheng down.

Baoyu was also troubled by many disasters. First, she had a nightmare, and then she was disgusted after learning about the attack. She even vomited several bowls of soothing soup, and she didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

After Baoyu fell asleep, thinking about Baoyu's dream, Jia's mother was still a little uneasy, so she asked people to call Lai Nanny in and said, "You let people go to the Qingxu Temple and order some food for Rou'er. An everlasting lamp."

Nanny Lai was taken aback, even if the old lady didn't say it clearly, as Mother Jia's confidant, Nanny Lai naturally knew who Rou'er was talking about in Mother Jia's mouth, she wondered: "Why did the old lady suddenly think of Rou'er? "

If the old lady didn't mention it, she would have almost forgotten about Rou'er.

Jia Mu whispered about Baoyu's nightmare, and finally sighed: "How can I say that Rou'er is the mother of the second child. I wonder... whether the crimes committed by the Zhen family have been reported to Baoyu."

After all, Rou'er is also the biological daughter of Mrs. Zhen, and it is not a miracle that the crimes committed by the Zhen family should be reflected on her own grandson.

While Mother Jia and Nanny Lai were talking, Jia Zheng who was outside the door suddenly felt cold and fell into the abyss.
