Queen's Road in the Red House
Chapter 40
When Mrs. Wang arrived at Rongqing Hall with Yuan Chun, she saw Jia Zheng standing in front of the old lady with her head bowed, while Baoyu was huddled at the door, far away from Jia Zheng.
Seeing his mother and sister rushing over, Baoyu not only didn't look forward to a savior like before, but became even more anxious, trembling like a quail.
Mrs. Wang slapped him hard, and then stood beside Jia Zheng: "Old lady, Baoyu is not sensible, so don't get angry."
Jia Min's eyes were cold.
Jia Zheng wished he could grab Jia Baoyu and beat him up, then he bowed again and said, "Mother, it's because the son is not strict in discipline, but he just kicked out a girl, but let this evil trouble come to the mother."
Jia Min said coldly: "Eliminate a servant girl? You don't know what happened. You asked Baoyu to leave a servant girl in Baoyu's house this morning. Who is it?"
Jia Zheng was at a loss: "My son has always ignored these things about maids. My wife decided to stay..." Jia Zheng thought for a while: "The one who stayed behind seems to be called Xiren. The name of the maid who was sent out, the son will take I no longer know."
If it was someone else, Jia Zheng really couldn't remember it, only the name Xiren, Jia Zheng felt weird when he heard it, it was not Jia's mother who picked it up, it must be such a tricky name that Baoyu found in a poem.It's just that Baoyu's classmate made mistakes and owed too much money, and he returned to the house only once in ten days.
Jia Min sneered: "In that case, why did Baoyu come here so early in the morning and beg me to keep this maid called Xiren?"
Without waiting for Jia Zheng's response, he turned to Mrs. Wang: "Ms. Wang, tell me."
Whatever Mrs. Wang said, she was going to die of anger.
It's like being pecked at by sparrows who hunt geese all year round!
Just now when Bihen told her about Xiren and Baoyu, Mrs. Wang almost didn't lose her temper.She always likes servant girls to be honest and honest, even if they are clumsy, it doesn't matter, she is afraid that someone who is charming and evil will spoil her son.So she looked at the people around Baoyu, and finally kept Xiren, and felt that they were the most suitable for her requirements. In the end, she precisely left the only maid who had a fact with Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang immediately tied up the attackers, ordered Zhou Rui's family to beat him twice, and asked the truth.
Xiren really didn't dare not to recruit, with so many nuns in the family, even if she killed her and refused to recognize her, she would still be exposed after being checked.
Mrs. Wang had a headache from anger, and before she had time to deal with it, she heard that Baoyu had gone to Rongqing Hall to intercede, which annoyed the old lady, so she had to ask someone to tie up Xiren and take care of her, and rushed here with Yuanchun.
Jia Zheng still didn't quite understand, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Mother, they are all maids anyway, and it's the same to send them away. Baoyu's ignorance is the reason for disturbing you. If we turn around and we will send everyone away, we will pick a better one for you." he?"
Jia Min was too lazy to deal with the matter of attacking people.
It doesn't matter if Mrs. Wang keeps the attacker or drives him away, it's all about the second wife's business anyway.But Jia Baoyu came to Daiyu's place to make a fuss because of this, which touched Jia Min's rebellious scales.
Jia Min stared at Mrs. Wang: "The attacker was still a second-class maid in my room, and she was given to Baoyu. Now you want to kick her out, and you won't answer me?"
Mrs. Wang felt distressed: she just learned about this, and she hasn't made up her mind what to do.According to her mind, the maid who seduced her son could be easily thrown out.It's just Baoyu's wishful thinking, thinking that Mrs. Wang wanted to drive away the attackers, and made trouble in Rongqing Hall, and now she is placed in this embarrassing boundary.
Could it be that she really wanted to tell this in front of Jia Zheng?
Just now Jia Zheng just beat Baoyu for his ridiculous behavior in the school, if he found out now that he had taken the maid in the old lady's room to be a real roommate, he would definitely beat him again.
Yuan Chun suddenly took a step forward: "Old lady, Xiren, the servant girl, is now relying on being the only maid around Baoyu, and has stolen a lot of the gold and silver nudes that Baoyu usually receives during the festival. Baoyu is the young master, and he is in the palace on weekdays." , I don’t know the amount of money in my hand, and I didn’t find out until Bihen came back a few days ago.”
Baoyu was stunned, and raised her head to look at her long-lost elder sister.
Her face was still as beautiful as before, and even the way she came to hold her was as gentle and gentle as before.
But what is she talking about?
steal?Xiren was so devoted to him that he didn't even go back to redeem his family, so how could he steal his money.
Yuan Chun came over and wiped the tears from Baoyu's face, and said softly to him: "Baoyu, sister knows that you are soft-hearted. But you should also know the rules. A slave who steals the master's property can be sent to an official to be sentenced. It's just that our family It has always been a generous family, and my mother also thought about how many years the servant girl of Xiren has served you, so she was going to drive her out."
Seeing that Baoyu opened his mouth to refute, Yuanchun smiled and held Baoyu's hand a little harder: "Baoyu, if you continue to make trouble, my sister will make the decision and send the attacker to the official, and let the officials interrogate her."
Baoyu shivered greatly.
Mrs. Wang also came to her senses: "Old lady, at first I thought Xiren's girl was okay, and she was given by the old lady, so I left her to serve Baoyu. I never expected her to do such a thing. It can be seen that it is not us Every family has a son, it's not reliable enough. I wanted to send it to the official, but I was afraid that our family would lose face. Why don't you ask the old lady for a favor, and simply give her the contract of sale and tell her to go."
Jia Min watched the mother and daughter sing together coldly, and then said, "Baoyu, is that true?"
Baoyu blushed.
send off?How could a weak daughter like Xiren be treated rudely by officials.
He understands the meaning of big sister, if he makes trouble again, it will definitely not end well.Either, or let her go.He had been to Xiren's house, and he had no worries about food and drink. Even her parents wanted to come and redeem her.
Once she went out, he might be able to see her too.
Under Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's glaring eyes and Yuan Chun's soft but indifferent tone, Jia Baoyu's rebellious mind and courage disappeared, like melting ice and snow.
After a long while, he finally said: "Old ancestor, attacking people, attacking people was not intentional. And I gave them to her..."
Yuan Chun's sigh interrupted Baoyu's words: "Baoyu, you are too soft-hearted, let the servant girl lie to you."
Then she reached out to touch his head, just like she used to do before entering the palace.
Baoyu didn't know why, but suddenly he was terrified of this smiling elder sister, and avoided her hand.Yuan Chun's smile froze slightly, and he lowered his hand.
--
Sitting in the partition, Xiaoluo peeled the walnuts and almonds with Amber.
The almond tea that the old lady wants to drink is never made in the big kitchen, but boiled by herself in the house.Even peeling these nuts requires the maids to do it, so it is cleaner.
That’s all for walnuts. The skin of almonds has to be soaked before peeling off slowly, which is a lot of work.
After Xiao Luo poked her head around, she was stuffed in by the mandarin duck, and she listened to everything that happened outside while she was working.
At this moment, she couldn't help but spit in her heart: Isn't this the time when Second Master Bao yelled at her just now and said Xi Ren is good?Why didn't she make a sound all of a sudden, recognized Xiren as a thief, and tacitly accepted that she was kicked out?
Jia Min smiled coldly, and said to Yuanyang, "Send Xiren's deed of prostitution to Dongkua Courtyard later."
Madam Wang and Yuan Chun breathed a sigh of relief.
Jia Min issued an order to evict the guest: "Okay, I'm having a headache early in the morning."
Jia Zheng had to apologize again, and then left with Mrs. Wang and a pair of children.
Yuan Chun was a little uneasy. Is it so simple?She didn't believe that the old lady couldn't see the flicker in her words and Baoyu's attitude just now.But the old lady didn't ask anything, just gave them the deed of sale, as if the matter had come to an end.
Just now when the old lady asked Mrs. Wang about it, when she jumped out to take over as her substitute, she clearly saw the cold eyes of the old lady, and she was ready to be scolded by the old lady.It turned out to be like this?
Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously, and said to her daughter: "The old lady loves Baoyu the most, and she is not willing to punish him. Since she is reluctant to blame him, naturally what happened today can only be vague."
Yuan Chun suppressed the anxiety in his heart.
When Jia Zheng heard Mrs. Wang's words, he was very annoyed: "You are in charge of this house, and you are in charge of thieves. Hurry up and send that girl away, so she will be ashamed."
Then he walked away.
Mrs. Wang just treated her coldly.In her opinion, their second wife lost the favor of Jia's mother and fell to this point today because Jia Zheng didn't show up in time after the old lady was injured three months ago, and he was not filial enough.And the most direct reason was Jia Zheng's favoritism on Aunt Zhao.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang didn't bother to pay attention to Jia Zheng now, and she only said to her daughter: "Yuanchun, don't worry, I have entrusted your uncle to worry about your marriage. Now their Jia family is only supported by the old lady, and the people who come and go are nothing more than four." I've already looked at old relatives like Wang Bagong for you, none of these people have suitable sons in their families."
"It's your uncle, who is now serving as the military governor of the capital, with a high position and authority. All the families of upstart officials in the court and China have a lot of contacts with him. He will take care of your marriage for you, so you can rest assured."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang felt a little emotional again, and said to herself: "So a woman should have a reliable natal family..."
Yuan Chun held Mrs. Wang's arm intimately, and said softly, "Daughter understands. So now I can only rely on my mother, and in the future I will also rely on my own brother, Baoyu."
Mrs. Wang was reminded by her words, her brows became stern, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose seemed to deepen all of a sudden, forming a solemn and cold look.
"Yes, I have only one son, Baoyu, and I must not be taught to spoil her. Let's go, let's go back and deal with that damned little hoof of Xiren!"
--
Xiaoluo went back angrily, and peeled a total of three walnuts because she kept her ears up to listen to what was going on outside.
Yuanyang offered tea to Jia Min: "Take a sip of tea to lower your fire." Then he emphasized: "Herbal tea."
Jia Min took it and took several sips.
In the days when she was dressed as Jia's mother, her emotions and anger were purposeful and planned, and they were all aimed at the second wife and the means to win over the power of the Rongguo Mansion.
Only today, she was really angry.
The daughter is her reverse scale and bottom line.
Yuanyang comforted: "I know you were holding back your anger just now, but it was all because of Miss Lin."
Only then did Jia Min speak: "Xiaoluo has gone back?"
Yuanyang nodded: "What Second Master Bao did just now is really... Well, Miss Lin will probably be very disappointed after hearing this."
Jamin sighed.
If not, how could she let Erfang act in front of her just now, let Yuanchun play tricks in front of her, and finally gave Erfang the deed of prostitution of the attacker.
It's all for Daiyu's sake.If this matter is passed, it will be worthwhile for her daughter to see that Baoyu is definitely not a good man who can be entrusted.
No one knows Jia Baoyu's irresponsibility better than them.Yuanyang still remembers in the book, after he teased Jin Chuan'er, facing the furious Mrs. Wang, Baoyu turned around and ran away without a trace, leaving Jin Chuan'er alone to be slapped.
Later, after Jin Chuan'er jumped into the well, Jia Baoyu was beaten severely for this incident and Jiang Yuhan's incident.At that time when Daiyu came to visit him, he kept saying, "Even if I die for them, I am willing."
Having said that, in fact, he was alive and kicking, only Jin Chuan'er died, and Jiang Yuhan was also taken away.
All Baoyu can do is to sneak out to find a wild well to worship.
"I hope Yu'er can see clearly."
When Jia Min drank the second cup of herbal tea to reduce the fire, Wang Xifeng finally arrived.Then I was a little surprised to find that everyone had already left.
After hearing Yuanyang's retelling, Sister Feng couldn't help saying: "Old lady, the matter of attacking people is probably not as simple as stealing Baoyu's things. I heard Ping'er say..."
Jia Min waved his hand: "No need, I know."
Sister Feng was startled.
Jia Min said lightly: "Brother Feng, go and do something for me."
"The old ancestor ordered."
"Yuanchun's marriage, they hit a wall with me, and they will definitely entrust it to Mr. Wang. You go to Wang's family to inquire these days, and tell me the candidate they fancy."
Sister Feng immediately responded, and made inferences: "Old lady, you don't know, the second wife entrusted this matter to my second uncle and second aunt, my second uncle is fine, the second aunt is not happy, and complains to me in private, Yuan Chun's surname is Jia, If the surname is not Wang, how can there be a reason why the Jia family does not make a fuss, but the Wang family takes this matter?"
Forget it, if Yuanchun's marriage is not in harmony, it's really hard to tell.
Moreover, Wang Ziteng felt sorry for his sister, so he agreed quickly, but when it came to actual implementation, each household went to socialize with their wives, and it was Mrs. Wang Ziteng who really worried about it?
She didn't like it when she thought about it, and complained to Wang Xifeng several times, both openly and secretly.
Naturally, I also want to find out what Shi Taijun means: Is this granddaughter really not caring?Isn't this the eldest daughter of your Rongguo Mansion?
Sister Feng expressed the meaning of Mrs. Wang Ziteng euphemistically.
After what happened today, Jia Min was really tired of the second room.
"Girl Feng, just tell your aunt that Yuan Chun is just a girl from the second room, not the eldest girl from Rongguo Mansion!"
Sister Feng's eyes widened.
--
Daiyu watched Peony chasing the ball day after day.
Probably because the food is so good, Peony doesn't have the slim waist and long legs like an adult dog, with a vigorous and heroic appearance.It chased behind the rolling hydrangea, like a fat squirrel twisting and turning.
It picked up the hydrangea, ran back erratically, put it on Daiyu's skirt, and looked at the master with its big almond eyes.
Daiyu bent down and stroked its dog's head.
Zhou Huangwei held a red lacquer and gold tea tray, on which was the medicine that Daiyu wanted to drink today.Seeing the mandarin duck approaching, he held the plate in one hand and waved to her: "Coming?"
Yuanyang also smiled: "How is Miss Lin feeling these days?"
Zhou Xuanwei nodded: "It's much better. I probably looked away."
Five days ago, Xiaoluo ran back angrily, and told Daiyu what she had seen and heard: "Is Second Master Bao looking at our girl's good nature? It's next to the door frame. Later Miss Jia came and accused him of assault and theft, and Second Master Bao also admitted it, so he didn't dare to say a word."
Even though Daiyu had a premonition, she still couldn't help being disappointed.I couldn't even take my lunch, I just felt like there was a lump in my throat.
In the next two or three days, I heard about some attacks one after another.
I heard that Mrs. Wang ordered Zhou Rui to call Xiren's parents to come in, and ordered them to pay 500 taels of gold and silver stolen by Xiren, otherwise they would send their family to the official.
Xiren's family used to be in a difficult situation, so they sold her to the Rongguo Mansion.Although life has improved in the past few years, but there is only a little money left besides food and clothing. After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Xiren's mother and brother almost didn't faint.
500 taels is nothing to Mrs. Wang, but it can definitely kill an ordinary family.
Just as Xiren thought, being close to Baoyu was nothing, but to Mrs. Wang, it actually poked her lungs.
Shengdou Xiaomin is most afraid of seeing officials, not to mention that if he is sent from the Rongguo Mansion to the government, he will almost die and come out again.
So Xiren's elder brother Hua Zifang tremblingly signed and pledged, and owed Rongguo Mansion 500 taels of silver.
Mrs. Wang returned Xiren and the deed of sale to the Hua family, but she didn't even have a neat coat on her body, not to mention the silk skirt and squirrel jacket that the manor had previously rewarded.
Mrs. Wang ordered that only her close-fitting clothes should be left out, and the rest of the good clothes should be left for good girls to wear.
Xiren's mother and elder brother didn't dare to argue, they could only cry and take Xiren out.It wasn't until Xiren passed out that they didn't know that she hadn't eaten water or rice all day and night, and she was still running a fever.
After Mammy Ge heard about it, she noticed something was wrong: "Fortunately, the girl didn't get involved in this matter at all. I don't know how this attacker offended the second wife so much. It even hurt the whole family."
The Hua family is a commoner, not a son of Rongguo Mansion's family, but Mrs. Wang still refuses to let her go.
Daiyu looked at Mammy Ge's serious face: If it wasn't for her, if I still lived with Baoyu in Rongqingtang as before, would I have been persuaded by Baoyu to intercede for the attacker?
Then what situation would he fall into? Did Baoyu mention it to himself?
I also heard that Xiren's mother and elder brother sold the family property and tried their best to fill the vacancy of 500 taels of silver, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
Xiren's elder brother knew Mingyan, and during Chinese New Year last year, Mingyan took Jia Baoyu to Xiren's house to play secretly for a while.
So this time, Hua Zifang came to ask for Mingyan again, feeling that this matter was strange.The younger sister was very close to Bao Erye back then, and she saw that she had a great future, so why steal some gold and silver nudes.Secondly, I also want to ask Mingyan to send a message to Baoyu, so as to solve their family's urgent needs.
500 taels of silver, even if Baoyu didn't have the silver, the jade pendant on his body and even the pearls in his hair, which one is worthless, just give it away and save their lives.
Mingyan said that he had nothing to do, and he had no money.
Zhou Huangwei said to Daiyu privately: "I heard that the attacker was going home, but Second Master Bao was crying bitterly. It's a pity that he is also naive. The second wife coaxed him to say that he would not attack someone, would not report to the government, and would not even sell himself for money. He told Xiren to go home, but Second Master Bao actually believed it. He left the mansion early because he was afraid of saying goodbye to Xiren and hurting the scene.
Yes, Mrs. Wang didn't ask for a few taels of silver to be sold, she just gave their family a debt of 500 taels.
"Well, if Second Master Bao is really worried about Xiren and considers her situation, what's the use of shedding tears? It's decent to leave some money. But he doesn't know that the second wife is going to embarrass Xiren and his family. Don't you want to think about it?" , Xiren suddenly left the house, what should he do without money? Will he be made things difficult by his elder brother and sister-in-law?"
It's really full of romance, not the slightest bit of reality.
It was also heard that Xiren was ill, but it was a pity that almost all the money in the family was filled in the hole of 500 taels, which was not enough.
Even after they had exhausted everything, the servants in the Rongguo Mansion often called the rogues on the street to raid people's doors and yell for money, which made them lose face, and the neighbors all avoided them.
Huamu and Huazifang traveled around for three or four days, as if they were ten years older.Looking at Xiren again, he is naturally resentful, and there is no such thing as the careful care of last year's family like the stars.
Let her lie in bed sick, and the two went to raise money separately.
This debt was like a machete that could fall at any time, making them terrified.
If Mrs. Wang hadn't tied up their whole family, if they didn't pay the money and sent them all to officials, they would definitely cut off their wrists, and Mrs. Wang could dispose of the attackers at will, as long as they don't count the 500 taels on their heads.
So Xiren lay alone on the hospital bed.
And Bihen was also sent out by Mrs. Wang, so she couldn't stay in the mansion to serve her.He only gave Jia Baoyu the jade bracelet by his side, and told her to serve her well, and not to have any evil intentions.
Yu Chuan'er went to work tremblingly.
Five days passed. It was like a stone dropped into the water, and the ripples gradually disappeared. No one mentioned it.
Even Daiyu has returned to her normal routine and smile.
Only she knew how disappointed she felt.
The author has something to say: about "Mrs. Wang ordered that only her close-fitting clothes be left out, and the rest of the good clothes are left for good girls to wear."
感谢在2020-06-2322:30:06~2020-06-2423:18:57期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: 1 bottle of fish is not fish;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Seeing his mother and sister rushing over, Baoyu not only didn't look forward to a savior like before, but became even more anxious, trembling like a quail.
Mrs. Wang slapped him hard, and then stood beside Jia Zheng: "Old lady, Baoyu is not sensible, so don't get angry."
Jia Min's eyes were cold.
Jia Zheng wished he could grab Jia Baoyu and beat him up, then he bowed again and said, "Mother, it's because the son is not strict in discipline, but he just kicked out a girl, but let this evil trouble come to the mother."
Jia Min said coldly: "Eliminate a servant girl? You don't know what happened. You asked Baoyu to leave a servant girl in Baoyu's house this morning. Who is it?"
Jia Zheng was at a loss: "My son has always ignored these things about maids. My wife decided to stay..." Jia Zheng thought for a while: "The one who stayed behind seems to be called Xiren. The name of the maid who was sent out, the son will take I no longer know."
If it was someone else, Jia Zheng really couldn't remember it, only the name Xiren, Jia Zheng felt weird when he heard it, it was not Jia's mother who picked it up, it must be such a tricky name that Baoyu found in a poem.It's just that Baoyu's classmate made mistakes and owed too much money, and he returned to the house only once in ten days.
Jia Min sneered: "In that case, why did Baoyu come here so early in the morning and beg me to keep this maid called Xiren?"
Without waiting for Jia Zheng's response, he turned to Mrs. Wang: "Ms. Wang, tell me."
Whatever Mrs. Wang said, she was going to die of anger.
It's like being pecked at by sparrows who hunt geese all year round!
Just now when Bihen told her about Xiren and Baoyu, Mrs. Wang almost didn't lose her temper.She always likes servant girls to be honest and honest, even if they are clumsy, it doesn't matter, she is afraid that someone who is charming and evil will spoil her son.So she looked at the people around Baoyu, and finally kept Xiren, and felt that they were the most suitable for her requirements.

Jia Zheng still didn't quite understand, so he apologized and said with a smile: "Mother, they are all maids anyway, and it's the same to send them away. Baoyu's ignorance is the reason for disturbing you. If we turn around and we will send everyone away, we will pick a better one for you." he?"
Jia Min was too lazy to deal with the matter of attacking people.
It doesn't matter if Mrs. Wang keeps the attacker or drives him away, it's all about the second wife's business anyway.But Jia Baoyu came to Daiyu's place to make a fuss because of this, which touched Jia Min's rebellious scales.
Jia Min stared at Mrs. Wang: "The attacker was still a second-class maid in my room, and she was given to Baoyu. Now you want to kick her out, and you won't answer me?"

Could it be that she really wanted to tell this in front of Jia Zheng?
Just now Jia Zheng just beat Baoyu for his ridiculous behavior in the school, if he found out now that he had taken the maid in the old lady's room to be a real roommate, he would definitely beat him again.
Yuan Chun suddenly took a step forward: "Old lady, Xiren, the servant girl, is now relying on being the only maid around Baoyu, and has stolen a lot of the gold and silver nudes that Baoyu usually receives during the festival. Baoyu is the young master, and he is in the palace on weekdays." , I don’t know the amount of money in my hand, and I didn’t find out until Bihen came back a few days ago.”
Baoyu was stunned, and raised her head to look at her long-lost elder sister.
Her face was still as beautiful as before, and even the way she came to hold her was as gentle and gentle as before.
But what is she talking about?
steal?Xiren was so devoted to him that he didn't even go back to redeem his family, so how could he steal his money.

Seeing that Baoyu opened his mouth to refute, Yuanchun smiled and held Baoyu's hand a little harder: "Baoyu, if you continue to make trouble, my sister will make the decision and send the attacker to the official, and let the officials interrogate her."

Why don't you ask the old lady for a favor, and simply give her the contract of sale and tell her to go."
Jia Min watched the mother and daughter sing together coldly, and then said, "Baoyu, is that true?"
Baoyu blushed.
send off?How could a weak daughter like Xiren be treated rudely by officials.
He understands the meaning of big sister, if he makes trouble again, it will definitely not end well.Either, or let her go.He had been to Xiren's house, and he had no worries about food and drink. Even her parents wanted to come and redeem her.
Once she went out, he might be able to see her too.
Under Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's glaring eyes and Yuan Chun's soft but indifferent tone, Jia Baoyu's rebellious mind and courage disappeared, like melting ice and snow.
After a long while, he finally said: "Old ancestor, attacking people, attacking people was not intentional. And I gave them to her..."
Yuan Chun's sigh interrupted Baoyu's words: "Baoyu, you are too soft-hearted, let the servant girl lie to you."
Then she reached out to touch his head, just like she used to do before entering the palace.
Baoyu didn't know why, but suddenly he was terrified of this smiling elder sister, and avoided her hand.Yuan Chun's smile froze slightly, and he lowered his hand.

Jia Min smiled coldly, and said to Yuanyang, "Send Xiren's deed of prostitution to Dongkua Courtyard later."
Madam Wang and Yuan Chun breathed a sigh of relief.
Jia Min issued an order to evict the guest: "Okay, I'm having a headache early in the morning."

Mrs. Wang just treated her coldly.In her opinion, their second wife lost the favor of Jia's mother and fell to this point today because Jia Zheng didn't show up in time after the old lady was injured three months ago, and he was not filial enough.And the most direct reason was Jia Zheng's favoritism on Aunt Zhao.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang didn't bother to pay attention to Jia Zheng now, and she only said to her daughter: "Yuanchun, don't worry, I have entrusted your uncle to worry about your marriage. Now their Jia family is only supported by the old lady, and the people who come and go are nothing more than four." I've already looked at old relatives like Wang Bagong for you, none of these people have suitable sons in their families."
"It's your uncle, who is now serving as the military governor of the capital, with a high position and authority. All the families of upstart officials in the court and China have a lot of contacts with him. He will take care of your marriage for you, so you can rest assured."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang felt a little emotional again, and said to herself: "So a woman should have a reliable natal family..."
Yuan Chun held Mrs. Wang's arm intimately, and said softly, "Daughter understands. So now I can only rely on my mother, and in the future I will also rely on my own brother, Baoyu."
Mrs. Wang was reminded by her words, her brows became stern, and the nasolabial folds on both sides of her nose seemed to deepen all of a sudden, forming a solemn and cold look.
"Yes, I have only one son, Baoyu, and I must not be taught to spoil her. Let's go, let's go back and deal with that damned little hoof of Xiren!"
--
Xiaoluo went back angrily, and peeled a total of three walnuts because she kept her ears up to listen to what was going on outside.
Yuanyang offered tea to Jia Min: "Take a sip of tea to lower your fire." Then he emphasized: "Herbal tea."
Jia Min took it and took several sips.
In the days when she was dressed as Jia's mother, her emotions and anger were purposeful and planned, and they were all aimed at the second wife and the means to win over the power of the Rongguo Mansion.
Only today, she was really angry.
The daughter is her reverse scale and bottom line.
Yuanyang comforted: "I know you were holding back your anger just now, but it was all because of Miss Lin."
Only then did Jia Min speak: "Xiaoluo has gone back?"
Yuanyang nodded: "What Second Master Bao did just now is really... Well, Miss Lin will probably be very disappointed after hearing this."
Jamin sighed.
If not, how could she let Erfang act in front of her just now, let Yuanchun play tricks in front of her, and finally gave Erfang the deed of prostitution of the attacker.
It's all for Daiyu's sake.If this matter is passed, it will be worthwhile for her daughter to see that Baoyu is definitely not a good man who can be entrusted.
No one knows Jia Baoyu's irresponsibility better than them.Yuanyang still remembers in the book, after he teased Jin Chuan'er, facing the furious Mrs. Wang, Baoyu turned around and ran away without a trace, leaving Jin Chuan'er alone to be slapped.
Later, after Jin Chuan'er jumped into the well, Jia Baoyu was beaten severely for this incident and Jiang Yuhan's incident.At that time when Daiyu came to visit him, he kept saying, "Even if I die for them, I am willing."
Having said that, in fact, he was alive and kicking, only Jin Chuan'er died, and Jiang Yuhan was also taken away.
All Baoyu can do is to sneak out to find a wild well to worship.
"I hope Yu'er can see clearly."
When Jia Min drank the second cup of herbal tea to reduce the fire, Wang Xifeng finally arrived.Then I was a little surprised to find that everyone had already left.
After hearing Yuanyang's retelling, Sister Feng couldn't help saying: "Old lady, the matter of attacking people is probably not as simple as stealing Baoyu's things. I heard Ping'er say..."
Jia Min waved his hand: "No need, I know."
Sister Feng was startled.
Jia Min said lightly: "Brother Feng, go and do something for me."
"The old ancestor ordered."
"Yuanchun's marriage, they hit a wall with me, and they will definitely entrust it to Mr. Wang. You go to Wang's family to inquire these days, and tell me the candidate they fancy."
Sister Feng immediately responded, and made inferences: "Old lady, you don't know, the second wife entrusted this matter to my second uncle and second aunt, my second uncle is fine, the second aunt is not happy, and complains to me in private, Yuan Chun's surname is Jia, If the surname is not Wang, how can there be a reason why the Jia family does not make a fuss, but the Wang family takes this matter?"
Forget it, if Yuanchun's marriage is not in harmony, it's really hard to tell.
Moreover, Wang Ziteng felt sorry for his sister, so he agreed quickly, but when it came to actual implementation, each household went to socialize with their wives, and it was Mrs. Wang Ziteng who really worried about it?
She didn't like it when she thought about it, and complained to Wang Xifeng several times, both openly and secretly.
Naturally, I also want to find out what Shi Taijun means: Is this granddaughter really not caring?Isn't this the eldest daughter of your Rongguo Mansion?
Sister Feng expressed the meaning of Mrs. Wang Ziteng euphemistically.
After what happened today, Jia Min was really tired of the second room.
"Girl Feng, just tell your aunt that Yuan Chun is just a girl from the second room, not the eldest girl from Rongguo Mansion!"
Sister Feng's eyes widened.
--
Daiyu watched Peony chasing the ball day after day.
Probably because the food is so good, Peony doesn't have the slim waist and long legs like an adult dog, with a vigorous and heroic appearance.It chased behind the rolling hydrangea, like a fat squirrel twisting and turning.
It picked up the hydrangea, ran back erratically, put it on Daiyu's skirt, and looked at the master with its big almond eyes.
Daiyu bent down and stroked its dog's head.
Zhou Huangwei held a red lacquer and gold tea tray, on which was the medicine that Daiyu wanted to drink today.Seeing the mandarin duck approaching, he held the plate in one hand and waved to her: "Coming?"
Yuanyang also smiled: "How is Miss Lin feeling these days?"
Zhou Xuanwei nodded: "It's much better. I probably looked away."
Five days ago, Xiaoluo ran back angrily, and told Daiyu what she had seen and heard: "Is Second Master Bao looking at our girl's good nature? It's next to the door frame. Later Miss Jia came and accused him of assault and theft, and Second Master Bao also admitted it, so he didn't dare to say a word."
Even though Daiyu had a premonition, she still couldn't help being disappointed.I couldn't even take my lunch, I just felt like there was a lump in my throat.
In the next two or three days, I heard about some attacks one after another.
I heard that Mrs. Wang ordered Zhou Rui to call Xiren's parents to come in, and ordered them to pay 500 taels of gold and silver stolen by Xiren, otherwise they would send their family to the official.
Xiren's family used to be in a difficult situation, so they sold her to the Rongguo Mansion.Although life has improved in the past few years, but there is only a little money left besides food and clothing. After hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Xiren's mother and brother almost didn't faint.
500 taels is nothing to Mrs. Wang, but it can definitely kill an ordinary family.
Just as Xiren thought, being close to Baoyu was nothing, but to Mrs. Wang, it actually poked her lungs.
Shengdou Xiaomin is most afraid of seeing officials, not to mention that if he is sent from the Rongguo Mansion to the government, he will almost die and come out again.
So Xiren's elder brother Hua Zifang tremblingly signed and pledged, and owed Rongguo Mansion 500 taels of silver.
Mrs. Wang returned Xiren and the deed of sale to the Hua family, but she didn't even have a neat coat on her body, not to mention the silk skirt and squirrel jacket that the manor had previously rewarded.
Mrs. Wang ordered that only her close-fitting clothes should be left out, and the rest of the good clothes should be left for good girls to wear.
Xiren's mother and elder brother didn't dare to argue, they could only cry and take Xiren out.It wasn't until Xiren passed out that they didn't know that she hadn't eaten water or rice all day and night, and she was still running a fever.
After Mammy Ge heard about it, she noticed something was wrong: "Fortunately, the girl didn't get involved in this matter at all. I don't know how this attacker offended the second wife so much. It even hurt the whole family."
The Hua family is a commoner, not a son of Rongguo Mansion's family, but Mrs. Wang still refuses to let her go.
Daiyu looked at Mammy Ge's serious face: If it wasn't for her, if I still lived with Baoyu in Rongqingtang as before, would I have been persuaded by Baoyu to intercede for the attacker?
Then what situation would he fall into? Did Baoyu mention it to himself?
I also heard that Xiren's mother and elder brother sold the family property and tried their best to fill the vacancy of 500 taels of silver, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
Xiren's elder brother knew Mingyan, and during Chinese New Year last year, Mingyan took Jia Baoyu to Xiren's house to play secretly for a while.
So this time, Hua Zifang came to ask for Mingyan again, feeling that this matter was strange.The younger sister was very close to Bao Erye back then, and she saw that she had a great future, so why steal some gold and silver nudes.Secondly, I also want to ask Mingyan to send a message to Baoyu, so as to solve their family's urgent needs.
500 taels of silver, even if Baoyu didn't have the silver, the jade pendant on his body and even the pearls in his hair, which one is worthless, just give it away and save their lives.
Mingyan said that he had nothing to do, and he had no money.
Zhou Huangwei said to Daiyu privately: "I heard that the attacker was going home, but Second Master Bao was crying bitterly. It's a pity that he is also naive. The second wife coaxed him to say that he would not attack someone, would not report to the government, and would not even sell himself for money. He told Xiren to go home, but Second Master Bao actually believed it. He left the mansion early because he was afraid of saying goodbye to Xiren and hurting the scene.
Yes, Mrs. Wang didn't ask for a few taels of silver to be sold, she just gave their family a debt of 500 taels.
"Well, if Second Master Bao is really worried about Xiren and considers her situation, what's the use of shedding tears? It's decent to leave some money. But he doesn't know that the second wife is going to embarrass Xiren and his family. Don't you want to think about it?" , Xiren suddenly left the house, what should he do without money? Will he be made things difficult by his elder brother and sister-in-law?"
It's really full of romance, not the slightest bit of reality.
It was also heard that Xiren was ill, but it was a pity that almost all the money in the family was filled in the hole of 500 taels, which was not enough.
Even after they had exhausted everything, the servants in the Rongguo Mansion often called the rogues on the street to raid people's doors and yell for money, which made them lose face, and the neighbors all avoided them.
Huamu and Huazifang traveled around for three or four days, as if they were ten years older.Looking at Xiren again, he is naturally resentful, and there is no such thing as the careful care of last year's family like the stars.
Let her lie in bed sick, and the two went to raise money separately.
This debt was like a machete that could fall at any time, making them terrified.
If Mrs. Wang hadn't tied up their whole family, if they didn't pay the money and sent them all to officials, they would definitely cut off their wrists, and Mrs. Wang could dispose of the attackers at will, as long as they don't count the 500 taels on their heads.
So Xiren lay alone on the hospital bed.
And Bihen was also sent out by Mrs. Wang, so she couldn't stay in the mansion to serve her.He only gave Jia Baoyu the jade bracelet by his side, and told her to serve her well, and not to have any evil intentions.
Yu Chuan'er went to work tremblingly.
Five days passed. It was like a stone dropped into the water, and the ripples gradually disappeared. No one mentioned it.
Even Daiyu has returned to her normal routine and smile.
Only she knew how disappointed she felt.
The author has something to say: about "Mrs. Wang ordered that only her close-fitting clothes be left out, and the rest of the good clothes are left for good girls to wear."
