The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

No matter how fair a mother-in-law is in the world, when her son and daughter-in-law have conflicts, their hearts must be with their son, and Mrs. Shi is no exception.But Mrs. Wang knows how to behave. Although she wanted to sue Jia Zheng, she didn't mention his mistakes. She only said that she was born stupid and her children were not smart. Pearl was one and a half years old and couldn't recite The three-character scripture has lost the face of the second master, and she is the one who is sorry for the second master.Wang's attitude is so low, what can Mrs. Shi say, Jia Zhu's performance is no worse than Jia Hu's.

The daughter-in-law was beyond reproach, so Mrs. Shi had no choice but to say a few words to her son. Even in her opinion, Jia Zheng's demands on Jia Zhu were a bit high.Apart from other things, even Jia Zheng himself did not memorize the Three Character Classic until he was three years old. Mrs. Shi still thought he was very smart at that time.Now it seems that Zhu'er is stronger than his father, but Jia Zheng is not satisfied, it is really picky.For someone who is smarter, he must nod and say yes at this time, why should he be so strict with a little doll who is more than one year old.

He didn't want Jia Zheng to be a lonely person. Seeing Mrs. Shi standing on Wang's side, he couldn't help but think in his heart, a woman's heart is soft, and she loves her children so much. When reading poetry and books, have you ever been lazy.Therefore, Jia Zheng eloquently delivered a long speech, the theme can be summed up in six words, the son is not the fault of the father, and Mrs. Shi was so angry that she almost fell over, you dead child, your father did not discipline you like that that day Ah, Mrs. Wang just fainted.

The farce came to an end, and soon a doctor came to check Wang's pulse. The diagnosis was a happy event. It turned out that she was pregnant for more than a month.Mrs. Shi saw that Mrs. Wang wanted to conceive and support her health, so she proposed to take Jia Zhu to her side to raise her for a period of time.Thinking of Mrs. Shi's protection, Jia Zheng could not force his son arbitrarily, Wang agreed immediately, but felt a little puzzled.Mrs. Shi firmly held on to the power of housekeeper, and she was unwilling to hand it over to Mrs. Zhang. Otherwise, because of her preference for Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu would be carried away by her as soon as she was born.

Now, Mrs. Shi suddenly said that she wants to take care of her grandson, does it mean that Mrs. Zhang will start housekeeping, otherwise Mrs. Shi would not have so much free time.Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help being a little anxious. It's not good for Madam Shi to delegate power when she is pregnant. She wants to use the banner of helping Mrs. Zhang when she is pregnant, and she won't be able to get a share of it.How did Mrs. Wang know that the reason why Mrs. Shi did this was not willingly, but because Jia Daishan urged him several times, saying that the eldest daughter-in-law married home, not just for show, but to learn to share the worries of the elders.

Of course, Mrs. Shi didn't want to hand over all the middle-level supporters of Rongguo Mansion to Mrs. Zhang. She first promoted and changed all the stewards in the mansion, so as to ensure that each position had her own confidants. , I cleaned up all the books, and the books were done beautifully, leaving only the silver taels for daily expenses.Mrs. Shi's calculations were very loud. She had the ledger and the keys to the internal treasury. Zhang's so-called housekeeper was just running errands for her. If she didn't do well, when Wang gave birth, she could just let her She helped Zhang.

At that time, the two daughters-in-law will check and balance each other. As a mother-in-law, she just needs to watch and give advice from the side. Wouldn't she be comfortable in life.Naturally, Mrs. Shi's thoughts would not be revealed to Wang, she only said that she would be able to raise her baby with peace of mind and give Zhu'er a younger brother as soon as possible.

Wang has a plan and knows that nothing can be done without hesitation. As long as Mrs. Shi's heart is on Jia Zheng, she has nothing to worry about.Right now, her most important task is to raise her baby with peace of mind. Regardless of her son or daughter, they must grow up well and be smart, so that the elders will like it.

On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang, who has been comfortable in the house for many years, is not used to being suddenly called by Mrs. Shi to help the housekeeper.The Zhang family's scholarly family is used to be the best at raising their daughters. The Zhang family learned these skills from their mother and sister-in-law when they were ten years old, and even practiced them at home. Leave it all to her, and she will be able to take care of it properly.But like now, everything is controlled by people, money is tight, and there is a mother-in-law watching over her, just waiting to find her mistakes, life is not easy.

The daily expenses are not bad. Everything follows the rules. She does what Mrs. Shi did in the past. Even if she knows it is wrong, she will never change it. Some people said that she was wrong and that she was slapping Mrs. Shi in the face.

However, emergencies are more troublesome. Let’s follow the old rules, it looks ugly, but if the original rules are changed, Mrs. Shi may have something to say. Zhang’s current headache is Miss Jia San’s marriage. The dowry really made her embarrassed.

Jia Daishan's three concubines, Miss Jia and Miss Jia San were born to Aunt Du. Aunt Du was originally Mrs. Xu's maid. After mentioning Miss Jia, I mentioned my aunt.

Miss Jia Er was born to Aunt Deng, who was Mrs. Shi's dowry maid. It is said that she was very beautiful and was very much loved by Jia Daishan for a while.However, both Aunt Du and Aunt Deng were unlucky. Aunt Du died of dystocia when she gave birth to Miss Jia San, and Aunt Deng fell ill in the second year after giving birth to Miss Jia Er.Therefore, the girls of Jia's family all grew up with Mrs. Shi, and they were all treated the same.People outside knew about it, and they all said Mrs. Shi was virtuous, and she treated concubine daughters as if they were her own.

Miss Jia was one year older than Jia Zheng, and Miss Jia was the same age as Jia Zheng, only less than two months older than him. Both of them were out of Madam Xu's filial piety, and were married off by Mrs. Shi in a hurry. After all, they are older sisters, they are not married, and it is not easy for Jia Zheng to marry Wang.

Mrs. Shi was very particular about choosing families for her concubine daughters. They were all selected from noble families with titles, and the children of concubines who could not inherit the title.Speaking of which, it not only has a good reputation, but also saves a lot of dowry. Whose mistress will give a heavy engagement to a concubine to marry a daughter-in-law? With less dowry, the dowry is naturally less, as has been the case since ancient times.Mrs. Shi's approach can't be said to be wrong, but in Zhang's view, it seems a bit wasteful. Anyway, they have raised the concubine daughter, so why send it out casually, and pick a poorer scholar, maybe there will be rewards.

The nobles of Dayan all started their careers with the emperors Tai and Zu. The first two generations can be said to be truly heroic and invincible. Without them, there would be no world of Dayan.But from the third generation onwards, due to the peace of the world, most people just slept on the merits of their ancestors. There are countless honorable children like Jia She in Beijing.Fortunately for Jia Amnesty, he is the eldest son. Most of the things left by his grandfather and Lao Tzu belong to him. The concubine is different, especially for a family with many children. Once the family is divided, it is no different from ordinary people.

Marrying a concubine who has been raised for more than ten years to this kind of people is not a waste. Mrs. Zhang can see that Mrs. Shi has never treated her concubine badly in life. Jia Min has some, and they all Yes, it is absolutely fair on the bright side, so why be so short-sighted in marriage.

Miss Jia San's marriage was similar to that of her older sisters. The husband Mrs. Shi chose for her was the third son-in-law of the Bo Zhuo family in Fushun.Although it seems a little lower for a concubine's daughter from the Duke's mansion to marry a concubine's son from the uncle's mansion, it is still reasonable, and there are old rules for the amount of dowry.

Unexpectedly, just last year, something embarrassing happened to Uncle Fushun's family. Uncle Fushun's eldest son went to a brothel and got into a fight with someone in order to grab the oiran. It was his brother who fell to his death downstairs.

Uncle Fushun was almost pissed to death by his two sons who did not live up to expectations. The brothers quarreled with each other and even killed people. This incident spread to the emperor's ears, and he might be convicted of lax family management. All are possible.Uncle Fushun first arranged the funeral for the second son, then beat the eldest son with a cane, and drove him back to his hometown. It was useless for Mrs. Uncle to cry and beg for mercy, so he almost drove him back together.

Uncle Fushun had a total of three sons, one made a big mistake, one was already dead after self-reflection in his hometown, and the last one was left, although he was a concubine, he kept his own place anyway.Uncle Fushun also made meritorious service on the battlefield in the past few years. If he intercedes with the emperor, it is entirely possible for the concubine to inherit the family business in the future.In this way, Miss Jia San's dowry is tricky, whether it is the same as her sisters, or an appropriate addition.

Although Uncle Fushun's concubine's son has the possibility of inheriting the title, it is only a possibility. If Uncle Fushun is reluctant and takes the eldest son back in the future, who can tell for sure.Mrs. Zhang felt that no matter what she did, Mrs. Shi would be waiting for her in front of her. She should follow the old rules. Mrs. Shi would definitely say that her sister-in-law treated her sister-in-law harshly. It's time to add something, she said to add some dowry to Miss Jia San, Mrs. Shi will probably say that she doesn't follow the rules and change the order day and night.

Seeing that Zhang was indecisive, Jia She gave her an idea, "Ayan, you don't have to be embarrassed, if you are in doubt, just ask your wife, you just learned how to be a housekeeper, it won't be normal, my wife cares about it In the past few years, there must be a way, you should learn more."

Mrs. Zhang bowed her head and remained silent, while Jia Hu looked at his father with an expression of admiration. He suddenly discovered that Jia She's evasion tactics could still be used in many cases, so he said naively: "Mother, father said That's right, if you don't know it, just ask grandma. And my blood swallow, you tell grandma to ask her to ask people to buy more, otherwise the second aunt wants to eat, and my son will have nothing to eat. Mother, you want Remember to say it."

In fact, Jia Hu didn't think swallow's saliva was delicious, but people around him said that eating bird's nest was good for health, so he got into the habit of eating a bowl of bird's nest every day.Rongguo Mansion is not short of money, and no matter how many bird's nests they can afford, but the most precious blood swallows are limited in production, so they don't have as many as they want, and the number allocated to each house is very limited, which is only enough for Jia Daishan and Shi Madam, and those of Jia Hu and Jia Zhu.

Wang Shi is pregnant and has a tricky taste. She often sends people to the big kitchen to ask for all kinds of weird food. If she is a little late, she will say that someone is neglecting her.Some time ago, Mrs. Shi divided some of the blood swallows in her share among Wang's. Maybe it was delicious, so she went to the kitchen to ask for it. Where did Zhang have extra blood swallows for her? She didn't want to cause trouble for Jia Hu's share, so she was given some to her. Jia Hu's blood swallows were not enough, so she had to follow them to eat white swallows.

Let Jia Hu say it himself, he doesn't think there is a difference in the taste, but Wang's use of the fetus in his womb is always causing trouble for his mother, so he can't stand it.

When Jia She heard that Jia Hu's blood swallow was robbed by Wang, he was filled with righteous indignation, and angrily slapped the table and said, "Ayan, you are so easy to talk, if you take a step back, some people may only take ten steps forward." Mrs. Shi hugged Jia Zhu to her side, Jia Daishan's original thoughts turned back a little bit, no matter how smart Jia Hu was, after all, he followed them, and there was a distance from Jia Daishan, not like Jia Zhu, who was in front of him every day.

Mrs. Zhang said with a slight smile, "If I don't back down a few steps, how can we look wronged in front of my parents-in-law?" It seemed that his worry was a bit redundant.
