The Rebirth of the Red Chamber as Lian
Work related
This is, so sturdy!Jia Lian clicked her tongue secretly, not knowing what this grandma looked like at home.If he is also so tough, he will shed tears of sympathy for the cheap grandpa.I'm going to visit on the second day of junior high school, and I pray that the old lady will be kind to Sun Wenrou.
"The Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager are grateful for their mother-in-law's rescue. The Empress Dowager wants to adopt her as a foster daughter, and the Holy Majesty also canonize her as a princess. But the father-in-law and mother-in-law dare not repay their kindness, so they resign. The mother-in-law is a first-class loyal wife, and enjoys the princess's salary." Obviously, Jia She respected his mother-in-law even more, and his eyes were almost shining.
"Alas—" he suddenly sighed again, with an unconcealable desolation on his face, "It's a pity that the two old people are now desolate, and there is no one who threw a pot to die. In the past, I couldn't come to the door, nor I know how good the two elders are."
"Father, what happened to my grandfather's family? How could it... how could it be so desolate?" At this time, everyone said that many children are blessed, which family is not a group of concubines.There are some offspring who are difficult, but after all, they are in the minority.Just now Jia Amnesty also said that his grandfather and grandmother were both able to mount a horse and kill the enemy, they must be in good health, it doesn't look like it is difficult for them to have children.
"Your mother is the youngest and only daughter of the Zhou family. She has three older brothers, all of whom are good men. My three brothers-in-law were all sent to serve in the army by their father-in-law as soon as they got married. His military exploits are famous. Unfortunately, after his father-in-law left the Northwest, the Wara Tatars joined forces to commit crimes, and the three brothers-in-law sacrificed their lives one after another to serve the country. White-haired people give black-haired people!"
Jia She could not help but sighed, "Besides, among your three uncles, only the eldest uncle left a son, and the other two died. This is not the most unfortunate thing. When your cousin was just 16 years old, So he secretly joined the army without telling his family, and ran to the northwest to avenge his father... Alas, after all, he was young and inexperienced, so he lost himself in it."
"That's it. There are nine members of the Zhou family, and all four males are loyal to the country. Now there are only two old people and three widows left. The Holy One took pity on them. He intended to adopt you to the Zhou family. At that time, your mother , Eldest brother is still there. Unfortunately, before the decree was made, your elder brother died of illness. We had to agree that if your mother gave birth to a son, he would be adopted by the Zhou family."
"It's just that before my mother gave birth to a younger brother, even my mother was gone." Jia Lian couldn't tell what it was like, but felt that this family was really... This is considered dead.
In the fourth episode, Jia Xiaolian, the place where the grandmother promised to return, presented a picture of giving away the child (Catching Insects)
The old Zhou's family dedicated themselves to the royal family and died. Even if it is for his own reputation, the Holy One will treat the orphans and widows generously.Therefore, not only Jia Lian's uncle and cousin have posthumous titles, but even the three aunts are all first-rank imperial orders.Even though no one in the Zhou family is in court, there will be generous rewards every year and festival to show that the sage will not forget his loyalty and kindness.
Ordinarily, with such an in-law who is simple in the emperor's heart, and Jia Lian as a bond, everyone in Jia's mansion should not cut off contact with him, or even mention it, so that Jia Lian didn't even know that he had such a backer .In the book Red Chamber, Jia Lian's natal family was never mentioned until Jia's mansion was raided and ruined, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. The reason for this...
When Jia Lian asked this question, Jia Amnesty paused. Although he didn't show it on his face, it was obvious that he was depressed.He drooped his eyelids and remained silent, the atmosphere in the study suddenly became stiff.After a long while, Jia She waved his hand feebly, indicating that his son could go out.Although Jia Amnesty looked normal, Jia Lian felt that this man was in pain!
Although the doubts could not be answered, Jia Lian didn't care much, bowed and withdrew.No matter what was the reason for their lack of contact in the past, since Jia Amnesty brought it up today, it seems that the relationship between the two families is not irreparable.And what he has to do now is to prepare a heartfelt gift to please his grandfather's family.
Rongguo Mansion was busy preparing for the New Year, Jia Lian was also busy preparing for the ceremony, and it was the New Year in a blink of an eye.Not to mention ancestor worship, night vigil, entering the palace to worship, etc., but on the morning of the second day of junior high school, Jia She took Jia Lian out of Rongguo Mansion through the black oil gate of his yard without saying hello to anyone, and went straight to Zhenyuanhou Mansion. go.
The Zhou family's Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is not too far from Rongning Street, and it can be seen within two minutes of riding a horse.Seeing Jia Amnesty walking slower and slower, Jia Lian gave him a strange look.Does this person have to be too timid to be close to his hometown?Sure enough, at a glance, he could see the tangled and complicated expression on Jia She's face, like anticipation, disappointment, and shame...
Before coming here, Jia Amnesty had handed over the name card, so the Zhenyuan Hou's mansion opened the middle door early, just waiting for my son-in-law to bring my young master Sun to the door.The big housekeeper led the stewards to wait inside the door, and the boys had already sent out to search along the road, and the one who ran the farthest was waiting at the corner of Ningrong Street.As soon as they saw Jia Lian and his son going out, they ran back to report the news one by one desperately.
For the servants of Zhenyuanhou's Mansion, they don't care about uncle or something, but Young Master Sun is different.Although this grandson is just a grandson, as long as he has the blood of the old general, it will be extremely rare for them.In this world, young master Sun is the only one who has the blood of the general and his wife.Thinking about the scene when the young masters and ladies were still there, I almost want to cry.
The layout of the Hou Mansion is similar to that of the Rongguo Mansion. A group of people passed through the Inner and Outer Yi Gates and went directly to the main hall - Zhiwei Hall.Before they got to the door, they saw two [-]-year-olds standing in front of the hall waiting, behind them were three middle-aged women, and behind them were some maidservants and so on.
No need to ask, the two old people are his grandfathers, Jia Lian stepped forward quickly and bowed down. "Unworthy grandson Jia Lian, visit grandpa and grandma. Lian'er is not filial. He has never been filial to grandpa and grandma for many years. Please grandpa and grandma..."
Before she kowtowed her head or finished her sentence, Mrs. Zhou had already pulled him up, wrapped her shoulders and half hugged him in her arms, and kept rubbing his face with her hands, "It's good when you come, it's fine when you come." Okay... let grandma see Xiao Lian'er, she has grown so tall..."
The old lady was in her early sixties, her hair was already grey, but her face was very ruddy, and she was full of air when she spoke.Although she can jump a horse and carry a knife, Mrs. Zhou is not tall and rough, but a petite and beautiful Jiangnan woman.At this time, she is already old, but she can still vaguely see her appearance when she was young, and she must have been a beautiful woman like water.
Compared to the enthusiasm of the old lady, General Zhou was much more reserved, and calmly accepted Jia's pardon, but he never took his eyes off his grandson whom he hadn't seen for many years.Once upon a time, the little doll who couldn't even walk well had grown to the height of his chest now.The small face of Yuxue when she was young also opened up, more and more like his mother.
The old general was in his sixties, tall and straight, his features were well-defined but not rough, his eyes were still as sharp as yesterday, and he had a gray beard under his chin, looking like a Confucian general.It has been seven or eight years since his daughter passed away. Looking at Jia Lian in front of him, the old general couldn't help but think of his sons and daughters who died young, and his expression became sad.
But he quickly restrained himself, patted Jia She on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, come in and talk." Although the Zhou and Jia families had a rift, he himself had no complaints against this son-in-law.The husband and the son-in-law, one lost his beloved daughter, and the other lost his beloved wife, and they were considered to be in the same sickness.Regardless of the rumors about Jia Amnesty outside, the old general will always be considerate of him in terms of the situation in the mansion.
After entering the main hall, Jia She and his son formally paid a formal visit to the two elders, and Jia Lian visited the three aunts one by one.Because it was Chinese New Year, everyone prepared generous New Year's money and meeting gifts for him, and Jia Lian made a small fortune because of this, which made Jia Xiaolian, who was worrying about cysts and shyness, happy.Having no money in his hand, he felt flustered. Jia Lian wanted to do something, but was worried that he didn't have enough capital.
Because they were widows, the three aunts didn't stay long. After seeing Jia Lian, they went back separately.Only now did Jia She talk to his father-in-law and mother-in-law about serious matters, "Lian'er doesn't like to dance and write, and my son-in-law wants to ask my father-in-law to find a master for Lian'er and teach him some skills in riding and shooting. After two years, he will be older. If he succeeds in his studies, he will ask his father-in-law to send him to the army for training. I wonder what father-in-law and mother-in-law would like?"
"That should be the case." The old general didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and said: "My husband and your father are both from the army, but your children and grandchildren are not up to date, and they are all arguing to give up martial arts, but they all can't do it. It won't happen. I don't even think about it, if the ancestors didn't earn this family business right away, how could you have such a foolish life like you are now."
The sarcasm in the words hit his face, and the old general didn't have the slightest intention to hide it.He pulled Jia Lian to his side again, touched his bones, "Lian'er is different, after all, the blood of my Zhou family is still flowing, so that I can never forget to inherit the glory of my ancestors. The old man saw that Lian'er has good qualifications, Although it is a bit late, it is a material that can be made."
Hearing these words, the corners of Jia She's mouth twitched slightly.Well, he knew that this old man had a very poisonous mouth, and he would stab him every time he came back.But every time he couldn't reply, compared to the Zhou family's children who died in the battle, these people in Rongguo Mansion were indeed a bit disappointing, including himself of course.
And listening to his voice, Lian'er can be regarded as a good bamboo shoot, but fortunately she was born by the Zhou family, otherwise she would have to be a dude.This made Grand Master She feel a little uncomfortable. After all, Jia Lian is also his only seedling, so how could it be the work of the Zhou family alone?But he didn't dare to say this, even though his father-in-law was a Confucian general, he was not soft at all when he beat people up.
"I don't need others. Although the old man is a little old, he still has some energy. The descendants of my Zhou family don't need others to teach. Lian'er is already over ten years old, and he started a bit late, so don't delay any longer. In this way, Let him come over from tomorrow, and the old man will teach him himself." The old general stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.
"Practice is not an easy task. I get up early and stay late all day long." The old lady stuffed snacks into Jia Lian's hands, and said slowly, "In my opinion, I can ask Lian'er to stay here from tomorrow, so as to save the delay on the way." Time. If my uncle misses him, he can come to see you every now and then. If you don't want to run away, you can ask him to go back to see you once a month."
The old lady has been looking forward to her grandson for seven or eight years, and now she finally sees her, but she has no intention of letting her go just like that.It just so happens that my grandson wants to practice martial arts, so what better place than my own home.Moreover, the Rongguo Mansion was glamorous on the outside, but it couldn't hide the filth inside. She didn't worry about this grandson who had understood it, and it was better to keep it in front of her.
The old general nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and praised: "Madam is still thoughtful. Lian'er started late and had to work harder, so I shouldn't waste any more time. I think back when the old man was practicing martial arts, the cock crowed once. From the beginning to the end of the month, you have to rest; in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, you dare not slack off in a day. That's it, it's just a reluctant teacher..."
Hearing that the old man was going to talk about his bitter history again, the old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, "Okay, let's talk to Lian'er tomorrow when I'm free. Uncle, let's make a deal like this. Just ask someone to clean up Lian'er's house. As for you, go back today and arrange for someone to simply pack up some of Lian'er's belongings, which are all here. If you lack anything in the future, just buy it."
Jia Lian was sitting beside the old lady holding a plate of dried fruit, without interrupting, just smiling and watching his grandpa and grandma singing together.Occasionally, he looked at Jia Amnesty's face, he was helpless, much more obedient than in front of Jia Taijun.It seems that these three people probably have a tacit understanding for a long time. Although the two houses of Jia and Zhou are no longer in contact, Jia Amnesty must have contact with the Zhou family.
With the old lady's final decision, Jia Lian's future destination was decided.As for how Jia Amnesty will explain to Jia Taijun after he returns, it depends on his ability.However, Mr. She is famous for being generous, and those relatives who care about the dignity of the nobles can't help him.
It was agreed to pick them up tomorrow, and the old couple reluctantly sent off their little grandson.The old couple were still excited, and while ordering the housekeeper to tidy up the yard for Young Master Sun, they were picking and picking in the warehouse, wishing to give Jia Xiaolian all the good things.Even with that, the three aunts were not free, directing the servants to be very busy.
At night, when everything was almost done, the people in the Hou Mansion were free, and the old couple also had time to look at the gift from their grandson.This gift from Jia Lian was not worth much, even a little simple, but it was a rare gift for the two old people.
When it comes to gift giving, it's best to be able to match what you like.But Jia Lian didn't know what was going on with Zhou's family, so he asked Jia Amnesty, but he got an irresponsible answer of "I don't know".He pondered, giving gold, silver and jewels is not unavoidable, and people will definitely not be rare, which makes it even more insincere.In order to show sincerity, you can only do it yourself.
Because it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, Jia Lian didn't do any complicated things. He just drew a picture himself, and asked someone to carefully frame it and send it over.Of course his paintings are not as good as those of famous artists, even Jia She's, but the emphasis is on the deep meaning in the paintings.It was a picture of a golden lotus presenting a child, which represented Jia Lian's promise to his ancestral family that he would adopt a son to pass on incense to the Zhou family in the future.
In the fifth round of Rongqing Hall, the three halls will examine and approve the universe and promote the three obediences and four virtues (catch insects)
"Father, what are you going to explain to the old lady?" Jia Lian suddenly turned her head and asked while riding on the horse.Although he doesn't know much about what happened back then, but he, the grandson of the eldest son, suddenly wants to live in his grandparent's house, and he thinks that the face-loving Shi Taijun will not be too happy.In other words, Shi Taijun would not only be unhappy, but even very angry.
"What do you want to tell me? You are a useless grandson who can't do anything. How can the old lady have the time to pay attention to you all day long. Besides, you are here to study hard for your future. You are not like your grandson who is so motivated. Only when the old lady knows I'm happy for you, so I don't need any explanation." Jia She glanced at him, knowing what this kid was thinking, and the old god replied in a down-to-earth manner.
So your plan is to fool it if you can, and to cheat if you can't?Jia Lian smiled and shook his head immediately, not to mention, this move is really better than others when dealing with Shi Taijun.Because what a rascal fears most is meeting another even more rascal.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, the housekeeper Lai Da was already waiting for them.All day long, the old lady didn't see Dafang and his son, and she couldn't find out why even if she asked Mrs. Xing.She was afraid that the father and son would go out to mess around again, so she sent Lai Dalai to wait, and whenever she saw someone, she would invite her to see her.Moreover, ever since Jia Lian came to pay his respects from his illness that day, Shi Taijun always felt a little restless.
Butler Lai?Jia Lian looked him up and down calmly, this is the number one slave in Rongguo Mansion.Lai Dasheng has an honest and honest appearance, only occasionally showing some shrewdness in the blink of an eye.The posture was very submissive, but the words were not flattering. After saying what should be said, he shut his mouth, which seemed to be reticent.No matter how you look at it, it looks like it can be trusted and reused.
It has to be said that Lai Dasheng has a good appearance as a slave, neither too stupid to make people feel unusable, nor too shrewd to make people feel uneasy.What's even more rare is that among the proud slaves in Rongguo Mansion, no matter what he thinks in his heart, this person always maintains a respectful face, and no one can find fault with him.
Jia Lian rubbed his chin, looked at Lai Da and smiled inexplicably.This person must be kept well, and he must be allowed to collect money slowly, just like Qianlong once indulged He Shen.When the money is short, then, like Jiaqing once, ransacked his house and killed his people.Putting a person on a high cloud, and then kicking him down to hell, it feels good to think about it.
Although Jia Taijun was in a hurry, the father and son still washed up calmly, changed their clothes before arriving slowly.There was another room full of people waiting, which made Jia Lian suddenly feel like he was about to be interrogated in three courts.Shi Taijun sat in the middle, Jia Zheng and his wife sat on both sides, and below them were Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun brothers and sisters. They all turned their heads when they heard that the Elder Master and the Second Young Master were coming.
"Boss, it's Chinese New Year, it's cold, where did you take Lian'er? I don't know if he was ill a few years ago, is he still weak?" Shi Taijun annoyed Jia She, and then asked Jia Lian beckoned and said affectionately: "Lian'er, come to grandma soon, let me take a good look, is it cold? Oh, look at this little pale face, it shows that your master is not good at taking care of others."
"That's not true. Uncle, Lian'er has always been weak. You should take care of him. He is still a child and can't stand the cold. It's better to stay indoors if he doesn't go out in this weather. Even Zhuer He's older than Lian'er, so I won't let him go out easily in winter." Mrs. Wang touched Jia Lian's face pityingly, and turned to persuade Jia She.
These few words are full of pity for the nephew who lost his mother, and also full of vague complaints for the careless uncle. He compares Jia She to a father who doesn't cherish his son.Jia Lian couldn't help nodding in her heart, the last time she saw the second wife's taciturn appearance, she thought she was really not good at words.But after listening to these few sentences today, it can be seen that he is not bad at it, but too good at it.
"Etiquette is undeniable. Today is the second day of junior high school. Although his mother is gone, Lian'er should also visit his grandfather's house. Don't say that he is just weak, even if he is sick and can't get out of bed, he should be lifted." I carried it away. I think the family of the second sibling is not in the capital, so naturally there is no need to worry about it." Jia Amnesty said in a flat tone without changing his face.
"You went to Zhou's house?" Shi Taijun was startled, and asked loudly before Jia Amnesty finished speaking.She used to hold Jia Lian's hand, caressing it affectionately, but now she also squeezed it tightly.She had felt uneasy at first, but now it really came true.The boss took Lian'er to the door of Zhou's house without making a sound.Shi Taijun's face darkened immediately, and he stared at Jia Amnesty in surprise.
Back then, the two families were so deadlocked that they hadn't visited each other for seven or eight years. Why did the boss suddenly remember that he wanted to bring Jia Lian to visit him?When the Zhou family left, Jia Lian was only two or three years old, and no one mentioned it these years. I'm afraid he didn't even know that he had a grandfather.Boss, what's wrong, suddenly remembered their home?Just to embarrass her?
Shi Taijun is not afraid of the Zhou family, but she has never dealt with the old lady of the Zhou family.The two are in-laws, and they are both first-rank orders. It is said that Shi Taijun is the wife of the Duke, and Mrs. Zhou is just Mrs. Hou, so Shi Taijun should be respected.But that's not the case. Mrs. Zhou has the title of imperial conferment and the princess's food town, and she overwhelms Shi Taijun everywhere.
Moreover, Shi Taijun also looked down on the old lady Zhou, it was really unbecoming for a woman to be able to do things like dancing with guns.In view of this, she also didn't like the original eldest daughter-in-law, the Zhou family. She felt that the foundation of the Zhou family was shallow, and she also felt that such a mother could not teach any ladies, and was not worthy of their family status in Rongguo Mansion.
Later when the Zhou family went, it was because she didn't live up to her expectations, and the family dared to make trouble at the door, it was really outrageous.Seeing how their family looked like they had no successors, they dared to offend the Rongguo Mansion.Although Jia's mansion is not considered prosperous, the four kings and eight princes and the four major families are all together. In fact, how can an upstart like the Zhou family compare? !
What's the result?In the end, he could only swallow his anger and never dared to come to Rongguo Mansion again.Thinking of the results of the battle back then, and remembering how old Mrs. Zhou was full of anger but had nowhere to vent, Shi Taijun became a little complacent, and his face softened a little.She suddenly didn't care so much about the behavior of the boss, that family is still better than it was back then.
Jia Lian only felt a pain in his hand, he didn't intend to spoil the old lady, because she is young now, innocent and playful.Therefore, Second Master Lian immediately wrinkled his face, and yelled pitifully: "Old lady, you are hurting Lian'er when you hold Lian'er." With a little effort, Wei Wei pulled out his hand, and saw that there was a faint red mark on it.
Shi Taijun was proud of himself, but he froze when he heard the words.For many years, no grandchildren have ever dared to disrespect her like this.She is an ancestor, not to mention that it hurts, even beating and scolding grandchildren is justified.This Lian'er is indeed a child without a mother's upbringing, so she is so delicate and has no elders.
Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, but Shi Taijun wanted to maintain a kind look, and his face inevitably became embarrassed.After all, it was Jia Yuanchun, the little cotton-padded jacket, who was so caring, and smiled and took Jia Lian's hand to help him rub it, "Lian'er is not ashamed, how old is a boy, and he is even more delicate than us girls. The old lady is just nervous about you." , you shouldn't be so rude."
"What Yuan girl said is that Lian'er is indeed too pampered. Although boys from a family like us don't have to work hard for a living, they shouldn't be as pampered as girls. After all, boys will be the ones who will be in the family in the future. Lian'er wants to win the title even more, so he should be beaten and beaten. Don't relax, Xi'er, and be strict with Lian'er." Shi Taijun smiled appreciatively at Yuan Chun.
Jia Lian lowered her head shyly, put her hands behind her back to hide from others, and then rubbed behind Jia Amnesty.Others thought he was ashamed, but Jia She understood that this kid was acting.He was laughing in his heart, but Jia She nodded repeatedly to Shi Taijun's words.
"What the old lady said is that I was planning to do this, and I have already made arrangements. Lian'er was taken by someone in the past, not to mention spoiled and lazy, and his body is also very weak. Today I will take him to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law. I really got a lot of complaints. My father-in-law has ordered me to send Lian'er tomorrow, and he has to train and teach this kid well, so that he can earn a future in the future."
"You also know that practicing martial arts is the hardest thing. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to change Lian'er's temper. Besides, my mother-in-law is worried that our family will not bear the child's hardship. She has agreed that Lian'er will live in the Hou's mansion on weekdays. He must do it. When you hear the rooster dancing, work hard. Whenever the old lady misses him, just call him back." Regardless of the expressions of others, Jia She closed his eyes half-closed and spoke quickly.
"It's outrageous!" Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Shi Taijun scolded loudly: "It's not that our family has no house. Lianer has a father and a mother, so how can he live in someone else's house. Let the outside know , What should we say about our family? We can’t even accommodate a single child, so we have to live in our grandparent’s house? Do you want the face of Rongguo Mansion, you and your brother’s face? "
"What do you think? Lian'er wants to learn martial arts. It's not like our family can't afford to hire masters. If one doesn't work, we can hire a few more. Besides, Master Zhou is older than me, so how can he work hard for a child?" Him, Boss, I usually tell you to be more cautious, why don't you come back and discuss these things?" Shi Taijun poked his finger, angrily pointing at Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian.
"What are you discussing? Jia Lian is my son. I will be his master when he is young, and he will be his own master when he grows up. There is no need to discuss with others. The master hired outside is no better than his father-in-law, so there is no need to delay Lian." Son, other people don't care, but I, the father, don't want to." Jia She also opened his eyes, looking back with burning eyes, and his calm voice echoed in his ears.
He sneered again, and said mockingly: "As for the opinions of outsiders, what can they think? The head of the Rongguo Mansion is only Lian'er, a single seedling. As a father, I will not be able to tolerate my only son. Since I asked my heart No shame, why worry about other people's comments. Besides, our family is no longer what it used to be, and there are not so many people staring at it."
What he said made Shi Taijun and Jia Zheng and his wife turn pale.That's right, others won't say that you, Jia She, can't tolerate the only son, but they won't stop talking about them.Rongguo Mansion's big family attacked the noble, but the second room occupied the main hall. This matter is no longer news in Beijing.Even if they don't say it, they don't have a clear conscience in their hearts.Why doesn't this Jia Amnesty think more about them? ! !
"The old lady doesn't need to talk anymore, this matter is settled like this." Seeing that Shi Taijun was about to speak again, Jia She glanced at the few people and said in a deep voice: "This matter is beneficial to Lian'er's future, the old lady should be happy for him You know, women have three obediences and four virtues. Since my father passed away, the old lady is supposed to help me make Lianer a success, how can I hold back?"
Three obediences and four virtues!These four words fell on Shi Taijun's head suddenly, making her dizzy.It's not that she doesn't know this, but she never thought that her son would say it to her face.Shi Taijun's complexion could no longer be described as livid, it was almost dripping with gloom, even if she pursed her lips tightly, people could find her gnashing her teeth.
But Jia Amnesty didn't bother her. The matter had been explained, so he pulled Jia Lian, bowed, turned and left.
The sixth chapter is to pick up the story. Jia Amnesty wants to establish authority to distinguish right from wrong. Jia Lian is playing a rogue
"Old lady, what's the matter with you..." This was Jia Yuanchun's voice, which should have been called anxiously and shortly, but she yelled out a lingering charm.
"Father, is it really okay to do this?" Are you sure you won't be scolded to death by the moralists?Hearing the movement, Jia Lian looked back.A group of people headed by Jia Zheng surrounded Shi Taijun, wondering if the old lady was fainted by Jia Amnesty.I don’t know if I vomit blood because of anger, but it’s okay to vomit, it’s healthier to vomit!
It may be that Jia Amnesty has never been so domineering before. Thinking of the stunned and inexplicably stunned expressions of those people in the hall, Jia Lian couldn't help curling his lips.Especially Shi Taijun, from being a great-granddaughter-in-law to having a grandson-daughter-in-law, he raised and suppressed his two sons, and felt that his life was comfortable.Today, he was suddenly disobeyed by the good-for-nothing eldest son, so he must not be shocked.
"Don't worry. The old lady had chest tightness and shortness of breath when she was young. It's been decades, and she's going to have it from time to time. But it's not a problem, and she's relieved after hearing a few good words." Jia Shehun didn't care He waved his hand and listened to the movement over there, "Listen, isn't it slowing down now. It must be no big deal if you can curse people in a calm manner."
Sure enough, Shi Taijun's voice came faintly, "...Listen to what he said, how can I have a foothold here? That's all, I also guess that he is tired of me, an old man who is half buried in the earth. I'm not here to obstruct his eyes, so I'll leave him now, everyone is clean. Lark, go and pack my luggage for me, prepare the carriage and horses, I'm going back to Jinling..."
When she said this, the people around knelt on the ground, begging "the old lady calm down... The old man didn't mean that... When you understand it, you will make an apology...".The more he persuaded him, the more vigorous Shi Taijun became, urging Skylark to pack his things.While speaking, she wiped her tears and gave Hibari a wink.Very busy!
The big maid, Yunque, was supporting Shi Taijun to comfort him, at this moment she nodded slightly, turned her head and went out.The old lady can perform well here, but she can't do without a supporter.This was originally played for the grand master, but now he is about to leave without a trace, how will it end next?You can't let the old lady really go back to her hometown Jinling.
She understood what the old lady was thinking, and ran after Jia She and his son as fast as she could.Complaining in my heart while chasing, this old man is too careless, the old lady is so old, so what can I do if I follow her?How could this son beat his mother in the face like this?It's no wonder that the old lady is so angry. No one dared to talk to her like this for many years.
"My lord, my lord..." Panting, Yunque stopped in front of Jia She and his son, knelt down with a "plop", and begged, "My lord, please go and see the old lady, she passed away just now Ah. You go and admit your mistake to the old lady, and let her calm down. The old lady is so old, if she gets angry, won't you feel sorry for her?"
"Did the old lady ask you to come?" Seeing this maid, Jia Amnesty didn't show any surprise, and just asked her back.
"The old lady was angry and wanted to pack up her things and go back to the old house in Jinling. How could she tell the slaves like that. It's just that the slaves were worried that the disturbance would get out of hand, so they didn't dare to pack up, so they secretly ran over to beg you. My lord, the old lady is the most important thing. Be kind, as long as you soften a little in front of the old lady, you will surely calm down..." These words were very earnest.
How dare Skylark say that the old lady hinted at her coming, wouldn't that embarrass the old lady?She has served by Shi Taijun's side for many years, so she naturally knows that the master is very face-saving.If she dared to make the old lady lose face today, she might not be able to save her life.But she is an old lady's person, she has a dignity that others don't have, and she is not afraid that the old man will not appreciate it.
"Bold slave! The old lady dares to follow her orders, who would allow you to be so presumptuous?!" Before she could finish speaking, Jia Amnesty kicked her over, right on Yunque's heart, "Come on, take this The servant who is used to lying to the master drags her down to beat twenty boards, and then tells the second child's family to give her half a year's money and rations."
As soon as he gave an order, two servants came up immediately, gagged Lark's mouth without any explanation, picked him up, dragged him aside, tied him to a stool, and beat the board.Yunque was stunned and didn't struggle, and when he realized it, the board had already hit him.She was decent in front of the old lady, but she didn't expect the old man to ask someone to beat her, let alone someone who dared to come up and beat her.
Seeing this, Jia Lian raised her eyebrows. It seems that this cheap father still has a few good people in his hands, and he didn't create a scene where he can't help the slaves.He didn't speak, just smiled and watched Yunque's face turned pale and his head covered in cold sweat after being beaten.When there were no more than two boards left in the fight, he persuaded: "Father, since this girl belongs to the old lady, let's spare her this time, she will know her mistake."
"Well, just listen to Lian'er." Jia She waved his hands and ordered, and then said to the gathered servants: "Our family has always had rules and regulations. As a servant, you should listen to the master. If you don’t want to let me know about this kind of obedience, otherwise I will never allow it. Today’s slave is an example, you should learn from it.”
At this time, they were standing outside the hanging flower gate of Rongqing Hall, and this movement attracted many people to watch.There were also those with bright eyebrows and eyes, who ran in quietly to report the news.Sure enough, as soon as Jia She's words fell, a group of people surrounded Shi Taijun and came out.Still some distance away, I heard someone shouting, "The old lady is here, go and see Sister Yunque..."
"You unfilial son, I am a good girl, what are you doing to her? Good, good... I know you are attacking me, so why use it? You beat her, why don't you beat me, an old woman, too. I You say you won’t be an eyesore in front of you, and you want to go back to your hometown, what else do you want? Do you have to force me to enter the palace and go to the ladies to plead guilty? "
"Don't stop me, I'm going to the ancestral hall to cry for the lord." Shi Taijun tremblingly pushed away Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun who were supporting her, his face flushed red, and he poked his finger in front of Jia She, "Why did I give birth?" You, an unworthy and unfilial son, are really born to collect debts. I am already at this age, and because of you, I don't have a day to live in peace. "
"Brother, why don't you admit your mistake quickly and get angry with the old lady once?" Jia Zheng looked angry, and carefully supported Shi Taijun, saying earnestly: "The old lady has been angry just now, don't worry. If you can't stand the trouble anymore, why do you have to do this, big brother? Skylark is the person next to the old lady, how can you go beyond the old lady and deal with her?"
Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun looked at each other and knelt down in front of Jia She at the same time. "Uncle, we juniors don't have the right to talk about this matter, but..." Yuan Chun took two steps on his knees, grabbed Jia She's lapel and said.
"Since you know you have nothing to say, shut up!" Jia Amnesty didn't mean to save face at all, and reprimanded him coldly, causing Jia Yuanchun to blush.Because of her unusual birthday, she was doted on by thousands of people since she was a child, and no one, even the elders, said anything harsh to her.Like Jia She this time
"The Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager are grateful for their mother-in-law's rescue. The Empress Dowager wants to adopt her as a foster daughter, and the Holy Majesty also canonize her as a princess. But the father-in-law and mother-in-law dare not repay their kindness, so they resign. The mother-in-law is a first-class loyal wife, and enjoys the princess's salary." Obviously, Jia She respected his mother-in-law even more, and his eyes were almost shining.
"Alas—" he suddenly sighed again, with an unconcealable desolation on his face, "It's a pity that the two old people are now desolate, and there is no one who threw a pot to die. In the past, I couldn't come to the door, nor I know how good the two elders are."
"Father, what happened to my grandfather's family? How could it... how could it be so desolate?" At this time, everyone said that many children are blessed, which family is not a group of concubines.There are some offspring who are difficult, but after all, they are in the minority.Just now Jia Amnesty also said that his grandfather and grandmother were both able to mount a horse and kill the enemy, they must be in good health, it doesn't look like it is difficult for them to have children.
"Your mother is the youngest and only daughter of the Zhou family. She has three older brothers, all of whom are good men. My three brothers-in-law were all sent to serve in the army by their father-in-law as soon as they got married. His military exploits are famous. Unfortunately, after his father-in-law left the Northwest, the Wara Tatars joined forces to commit crimes, and the three brothers-in-law sacrificed their lives one after another to serve the country. White-haired people give black-haired people!"
Jia She could not help but sighed, "Besides, among your three uncles, only the eldest uncle left a son, and the other two died. This is not the most unfortunate thing. When your cousin was just 16 years old, So he secretly joined the army without telling his family, and ran to the northwest to avenge his father... Alas, after all, he was young and inexperienced, so he lost himself in it."
"That's it. There are nine members of the Zhou family, and all four males are loyal to the country. Now there are only two old people and three widows left. The Holy One took pity on them. He intended to adopt you to the Zhou family. At that time, your mother , Eldest brother is still there. Unfortunately, before the decree was made, your elder brother died of illness. We had to agree that if your mother gave birth to a son, he would be adopted by the Zhou family."
"It's just that before my mother gave birth to a younger brother, even my mother was gone." Jia Lian couldn't tell what it was like, but felt that this family was really... This is considered dead.
In the fourth episode, Jia Xiaolian, the place where the grandmother promised to return, presented a picture of giving away the child (Catching Insects)
The old Zhou's family dedicated themselves to the royal family and died. Even if it is for his own reputation, the Holy One will treat the orphans and widows generously.Therefore, not only Jia Lian's uncle and cousin have posthumous titles, but even the three aunts are all first-rank imperial orders.Even though no one in the Zhou family is in court, there will be generous rewards every year and festival to show that the sage will not forget his loyalty and kindness.
Ordinarily, with such an in-law who is simple in the emperor's heart, and Jia Lian as a bond, everyone in Jia's mansion should not cut off contact with him, or even mention it, so that Jia Lian didn't even know that he had such a backer .In the book Red Chamber, Jia Lian's natal family was never mentioned until Jia's mansion was raided and ruined, the tree fell and the monkeys scattered. The reason for this...
When Jia Lian asked this question, Jia Amnesty paused. Although he didn't show it on his face, it was obvious that he was depressed.He drooped his eyelids and remained silent, the atmosphere in the study suddenly became stiff.After a long while, Jia She waved his hand feebly, indicating that his son could go out.Although Jia Amnesty looked normal, Jia Lian felt that this man was in pain!
Although the doubts could not be answered, Jia Lian didn't care much, bowed and withdrew.No matter what was the reason for their lack of contact in the past, since Jia Amnesty brought it up today, it seems that the relationship between the two families is not irreparable.And what he has to do now is to prepare a heartfelt gift to please his grandfather's family.
Rongguo Mansion was busy preparing for the New Year, Jia Lian was also busy preparing for the ceremony, and it was the New Year in a blink of an eye.Not to mention ancestor worship, night vigil, entering the palace to worship, etc., but on the morning of the second day of junior high school, Jia She took Jia Lian out of Rongguo Mansion through the black oil gate of his yard without saying hello to anyone, and went straight to Zhenyuanhou Mansion. go.
The Zhou family's Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is not too far from Rongning Street, and it can be seen within two minutes of riding a horse.Seeing Jia Amnesty walking slower and slower, Jia Lian gave him a strange look.Does this person have to be too timid to be close to his hometown?Sure enough, at a glance, he could see the tangled and complicated expression on Jia She's face, like anticipation, disappointment, and shame...
Before coming here, Jia Amnesty had handed over the name card, so the Zhenyuan Hou's mansion opened the middle door early, just waiting for my son-in-law to bring my young master Sun to the door.The big housekeeper led the stewards to wait inside the door, and the boys had already sent out to search along the road, and the one who ran the farthest was waiting at the corner of Ningrong Street.As soon as they saw Jia Lian and his son going out, they ran back to report the news one by one desperately.
For the servants of Zhenyuanhou's Mansion, they don't care about uncle or something, but Young Master Sun is different.Although this grandson is just a grandson, as long as he has the blood of the old general, it will be extremely rare for them.In this world, young master Sun is the only one who has the blood of the general and his wife.Thinking about the scene when the young masters and ladies were still there, I almost want to cry.
The layout of the Hou Mansion is similar to that of the Rongguo Mansion. A group of people passed through the Inner and Outer Yi Gates and went directly to the main hall - Zhiwei Hall.Before they got to the door, they saw two [-]-year-olds standing in front of the hall waiting, behind them were three middle-aged women, and behind them were some maidservants and so on.
No need to ask, the two old people are his grandfathers, Jia Lian stepped forward quickly and bowed down. "Unworthy grandson Jia Lian, visit grandpa and grandma. Lian'er is not filial. He has never been filial to grandpa and grandma for many years. Please grandpa and grandma..."
Before she kowtowed her head or finished her sentence, Mrs. Zhou had already pulled him up, wrapped her shoulders and half hugged him in her arms, and kept rubbing his face with her hands, "It's good when you come, it's fine when you come." Okay... let grandma see Xiao Lian'er, she has grown so tall..."
The old lady was in her early sixties, her hair was already grey, but her face was very ruddy, and she was full of air when she spoke.Although she can jump a horse and carry a knife, Mrs. Zhou is not tall and rough, but a petite and beautiful Jiangnan woman.At this time, she is already old, but she can still vaguely see her appearance when she was young, and she must have been a beautiful woman like water.
Compared to the enthusiasm of the old lady, General Zhou was much more reserved, and calmly accepted Jia's pardon, but he never took his eyes off his grandson whom he hadn't seen for many years.Once upon a time, the little doll who couldn't even walk well had grown to the height of his chest now.The small face of Yuxue when she was young also opened up, more and more like his mother.
The old general was in his sixties, tall and straight, his features were well-defined but not rough, his eyes were still as sharp as yesterday, and he had a gray beard under his chin, looking like a Confucian general.It has been seven or eight years since his daughter passed away. Looking at Jia Lian in front of him, the old general couldn't help but think of his sons and daughters who died young, and his expression became sad.
But he quickly restrained himself, patted Jia She on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, come in and talk." Although the Zhou and Jia families had a rift, he himself had no complaints against this son-in-law.The husband and the son-in-law, one lost his beloved daughter, and the other lost his beloved wife, and they were considered to be in the same sickness.Regardless of the rumors about Jia Amnesty outside, the old general will always be considerate of him in terms of the situation in the mansion.
After entering the main hall, Jia She and his son formally paid a formal visit to the two elders, and Jia Lian visited the three aunts one by one.Because it was Chinese New Year, everyone prepared generous New Year's money and meeting gifts for him, and Jia Lian made a small fortune because of this, which made Jia Xiaolian, who was worrying about cysts and shyness, happy.Having no money in his hand, he felt flustered. Jia Lian wanted to do something, but was worried that he didn't have enough capital.
Because they were widows, the three aunts didn't stay long. After seeing Jia Lian, they went back separately.Only now did Jia She talk to his father-in-law and mother-in-law about serious matters, "Lian'er doesn't like to dance and write, and my son-in-law wants to ask my father-in-law to find a master for Lian'er and teach him some skills in riding and shooting. After two years, he will be older. If he succeeds in his studies, he will ask his father-in-law to send him to the army for training. I wonder what father-in-law and mother-in-law would like?"
"That should be the case." The old general didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and said: "My husband and your father are both from the army, but your children and grandchildren are not up to date, and they are all arguing to give up martial arts, but they all can't do it. It won't happen. I don't even think about it, if the ancestors didn't earn this family business right away, how could you have such a foolish life like you are now."
The sarcasm in the words hit his face, and the old general didn't have the slightest intention to hide it.He pulled Jia Lian to his side again, touched his bones, "Lian'er is different, after all, the blood of my Zhou family is still flowing, so that I can never forget to inherit the glory of my ancestors. The old man saw that Lian'er has good qualifications, Although it is a bit late, it is a material that can be made."
Hearing these words, the corners of Jia She's mouth twitched slightly.Well, he knew that this old man had a very poisonous mouth, and he would stab him every time he came back.But every time he couldn't reply, compared to the Zhou family's children who died in the battle, these people in Rongguo Mansion were indeed a bit disappointing, including himself of course.
And listening to his voice, Lian'er can be regarded as a good bamboo shoot, but fortunately she was born by the Zhou family, otherwise she would have to be a dude.This made Grand Master She feel a little uncomfortable. After all, Jia Lian is also his only seedling, so how could it be the work of the Zhou family alone?But he didn't dare to say this, even though his father-in-law was a Confucian general, he was not soft at all when he beat people up.
"I don't need others. Although the old man is a little old, he still has some energy. The descendants of my Zhou family don't need others to teach. Lian'er is already over ten years old, and he started a bit late, so don't delay any longer. In this way, Let him come over from tomorrow, and the old man will teach him himself." The old general stroked his beard and pondered for a moment.
"Practice is not an easy task. I get up early and stay late all day long." The old lady stuffed snacks into Jia Lian's hands, and said slowly, "In my opinion, I can ask Lian'er to stay here from tomorrow, so as to save the delay on the way." Time. If my uncle misses him, he can come to see you every now and then. If you don't want to run away, you can ask him to go back to see you once a month."
The old lady has been looking forward to her grandson for seven or eight years, and now she finally sees her, but she has no intention of letting her go just like that.It just so happens that my grandson wants to practice martial arts, so what better place than my own home.Moreover, the Rongguo Mansion was glamorous on the outside, but it couldn't hide the filth inside. She didn't worry about this grandson who had understood it, and it was better to keep it in front of her.
The old general nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and praised: "Madam is still thoughtful. Lian'er started late and had to work harder, so I shouldn't waste any more time. I think back when the old man was practicing martial arts, the cock crowed once. From the beginning to the end of the month, you have to rest; in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, you dare not slack off in a day. That's it, it's just a reluctant teacher..."
Hearing that the old man was going to talk about his bitter history again, the old lady raised her eyebrows slightly, "Okay, let's talk to Lian'er tomorrow when I'm free. Uncle, let's make a deal like this. Just ask someone to clean up Lian'er's house. As for you, go back today and arrange for someone to simply pack up some of Lian'er's belongings, which are all here. If you lack anything in the future, just buy it."
Jia Lian was sitting beside the old lady holding a plate of dried fruit, without interrupting, just smiling and watching his grandpa and grandma singing together.Occasionally, he looked at Jia Amnesty's face, he was helpless, much more obedient than in front of Jia Taijun.It seems that these three people probably have a tacit understanding for a long time. Although the two houses of Jia and Zhou are no longer in contact, Jia Amnesty must have contact with the Zhou family.
With the old lady's final decision, Jia Lian's future destination was decided.As for how Jia Amnesty will explain to Jia Taijun after he returns, it depends on his ability.However, Mr. She is famous for being generous, and those relatives who care about the dignity of the nobles can't help him.
It was agreed to pick them up tomorrow, and the old couple reluctantly sent off their little grandson.The old couple were still excited, and while ordering the housekeeper to tidy up the yard for Young Master Sun, they were picking and picking in the warehouse, wishing to give Jia Xiaolian all the good things.Even with that, the three aunts were not free, directing the servants to be very busy.
At night, when everything was almost done, the people in the Hou Mansion were free, and the old couple also had time to look at the gift from their grandson.This gift from Jia Lian was not worth much, even a little simple, but it was a rare gift for the two old people.
When it comes to gift giving, it's best to be able to match what you like.But Jia Lian didn't know what was going on with Zhou's family, so he asked Jia Amnesty, but he got an irresponsible answer of "I don't know".He pondered, giving gold, silver and jewels is not unavoidable, and people will definitely not be rare, which makes it even more insincere.In order to show sincerity, you can only do it yourself.
Because it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, Jia Lian didn't do any complicated things. He just drew a picture himself, and asked someone to carefully frame it and send it over.Of course his paintings are not as good as those of famous artists, even Jia She's, but the emphasis is on the deep meaning in the paintings.It was a picture of a golden lotus presenting a child, which represented Jia Lian's promise to his ancestral family that he would adopt a son to pass on incense to the Zhou family in the future.
In the fifth round of Rongqing Hall, the three halls will examine and approve the universe and promote the three obediences and four virtues (catch insects)
"Father, what are you going to explain to the old lady?" Jia Lian suddenly turned her head and asked while riding on the horse.Although he doesn't know much about what happened back then, but he, the grandson of the eldest son, suddenly wants to live in his grandparent's house, and he thinks that the face-loving Shi Taijun will not be too happy.In other words, Shi Taijun would not only be unhappy, but even very angry.
"What do you want to tell me? You are a useless grandson who can't do anything. How can the old lady have the time to pay attention to you all day long. Besides, you are here to study hard for your future. You are not like your grandson who is so motivated. Only when the old lady knows I'm happy for you, so I don't need any explanation." Jia She glanced at him, knowing what this kid was thinking, and the old god replied in a down-to-earth manner.
So your plan is to fool it if you can, and to cheat if you can't?Jia Lian smiled and shook his head immediately, not to mention, this move is really better than others when dealing with Shi Taijun.Because what a rascal fears most is meeting another even more rascal.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, the housekeeper Lai Da was already waiting for them.All day long, the old lady didn't see Dafang and his son, and she couldn't find out why even if she asked Mrs. Xing.She was afraid that the father and son would go out to mess around again, so she sent Lai Dalai to wait, and whenever she saw someone, she would invite her to see her.Moreover, ever since Jia Lian came to pay his respects from his illness that day, Shi Taijun always felt a little restless.
Butler Lai?Jia Lian looked him up and down calmly, this is the number one slave in Rongguo Mansion.Lai Dasheng has an honest and honest appearance, only occasionally showing some shrewdness in the blink of an eye.The posture was very submissive, but the words were not flattering. After saying what should be said, he shut his mouth, which seemed to be reticent.No matter how you look at it, it looks like it can be trusted and reused.
It has to be said that Lai Dasheng has a good appearance as a slave, neither too stupid to make people feel unusable, nor too shrewd to make people feel uneasy.What's even more rare is that among the proud slaves in Rongguo Mansion, no matter what he thinks in his heart, this person always maintains a respectful face, and no one can find fault with him.
Jia Lian rubbed his chin, looked at Lai Da and smiled inexplicably.This person must be kept well, and he must be allowed to collect money slowly, just like Qianlong once indulged He Shen.When the money is short, then, like Jiaqing once, ransacked his house and killed his people.Putting a person on a high cloud, and then kicking him down to hell, it feels good to think about it.
Although Jia Taijun was in a hurry, the father and son still washed up calmly, changed their clothes before arriving slowly.There was another room full of people waiting, which made Jia Lian suddenly feel like he was about to be interrogated in three courts.Shi Taijun sat in the middle, Jia Zheng and his wife sat on both sides, and below them were Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun brothers and sisters. They all turned their heads when they heard that the Elder Master and the Second Young Master were coming.
"Boss, it's Chinese New Year, it's cold, where did you take Lian'er? I don't know if he was ill a few years ago, is he still weak?" Shi Taijun annoyed Jia She, and then asked Jia Lian beckoned and said affectionately: "Lian'er, come to grandma soon, let me take a good look, is it cold? Oh, look at this little pale face, it shows that your master is not good at taking care of others."
"That's not true. Uncle, Lian'er has always been weak. You should take care of him. He is still a child and can't stand the cold. It's better to stay indoors if he doesn't go out in this weather. Even Zhuer He's older than Lian'er, so I won't let him go out easily in winter." Mrs. Wang touched Jia Lian's face pityingly, and turned to persuade Jia She.
These few words are full of pity for the nephew who lost his mother, and also full of vague complaints for the careless uncle. He compares Jia She to a father who doesn't cherish his son.Jia Lian couldn't help nodding in her heart, the last time she saw the second wife's taciturn appearance, she thought she was really not good at words.But after listening to these few sentences today, it can be seen that he is not bad at it, but too good at it.
"Etiquette is undeniable. Today is the second day of junior high school. Although his mother is gone, Lian'er should also visit his grandfather's house. Don't say that he is just weak, even if he is sick and can't get out of bed, he should be lifted." I carried it away. I think the family of the second sibling is not in the capital, so naturally there is no need to worry about it." Jia Amnesty said in a flat tone without changing his face.
"You went to Zhou's house?" Shi Taijun was startled, and asked loudly before Jia Amnesty finished speaking.She used to hold Jia Lian's hand, caressing it affectionately, but now she also squeezed it tightly.She had felt uneasy at first, but now it really came true.The boss took Lian'er to the door of Zhou's house without making a sound.Shi Taijun's face darkened immediately, and he stared at Jia Amnesty in surprise.
Back then, the two families were so deadlocked that they hadn't visited each other for seven or eight years. Why did the boss suddenly remember that he wanted to bring Jia Lian to visit him?When the Zhou family left, Jia Lian was only two or three years old, and no one mentioned it these years. I'm afraid he didn't even know that he had a grandfather.Boss, what's wrong, suddenly remembered their home?Just to embarrass her?
Shi Taijun is not afraid of the Zhou family, but she has never dealt with the old lady of the Zhou family.The two are in-laws, and they are both first-rank orders. It is said that Shi Taijun is the wife of the Duke, and Mrs. Zhou is just Mrs. Hou, so Shi Taijun should be respected.But that's not the case. Mrs. Zhou has the title of imperial conferment and the princess's food town, and she overwhelms Shi Taijun everywhere.
Moreover, Shi Taijun also looked down on the old lady Zhou, it was really unbecoming for a woman to be able to do things like dancing with guns.In view of this, she also didn't like the original eldest daughter-in-law, the Zhou family. She felt that the foundation of the Zhou family was shallow, and she also felt that such a mother could not teach any ladies, and was not worthy of their family status in Rongguo Mansion.
Later when the Zhou family went, it was because she didn't live up to her expectations, and the family dared to make trouble at the door, it was really outrageous.Seeing how their family looked like they had no successors, they dared to offend the Rongguo Mansion.Although Jia's mansion is not considered prosperous, the four kings and eight princes and the four major families are all together. In fact, how can an upstart like the Zhou family compare? !
What's the result?In the end, he could only swallow his anger and never dared to come to Rongguo Mansion again.Thinking of the results of the battle back then, and remembering how old Mrs. Zhou was full of anger but had nowhere to vent, Shi Taijun became a little complacent, and his face softened a little.She suddenly didn't care so much about the behavior of the boss, that family is still better than it was back then.
Jia Lian only felt a pain in his hand, he didn't intend to spoil the old lady, because she is young now, innocent and playful.Therefore, Second Master Lian immediately wrinkled his face, and yelled pitifully: "Old lady, you are hurting Lian'er when you hold Lian'er." With a little effort, Wei Wei pulled out his hand, and saw that there was a faint red mark on it.
Shi Taijun was proud of himself, but he froze when he heard the words.For many years, no grandchildren have ever dared to disrespect her like this.She is an ancestor, not to mention that it hurts, even beating and scolding grandchildren is justified.This Lian'er is indeed a child without a mother's upbringing, so she is so delicate and has no elders.
Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, but Shi Taijun wanted to maintain a kind look, and his face inevitably became embarrassed.After all, it was Jia Yuanchun, the little cotton-padded jacket, who was so caring, and smiled and took Jia Lian's hand to help him rub it, "Lian'er is not ashamed, how old is a boy, and he is even more delicate than us girls. The old lady is just nervous about you." , you shouldn't be so rude."
"What Yuan girl said is that Lian'er is indeed too pampered. Although boys from a family like us don't have to work hard for a living, they shouldn't be as pampered as girls. After all, boys will be the ones who will be in the family in the future. Lian'er wants to win the title even more, so he should be beaten and beaten. Don't relax, Xi'er, and be strict with Lian'er." Shi Taijun smiled appreciatively at Yuan Chun.
Jia Lian lowered her head shyly, put her hands behind her back to hide from others, and then rubbed behind Jia Amnesty.Others thought he was ashamed, but Jia She understood that this kid was acting.He was laughing in his heart, but Jia She nodded repeatedly to Shi Taijun's words.
"What the old lady said is that I was planning to do this, and I have already made arrangements. Lian'er was taken by someone in the past, not to mention spoiled and lazy, and his body is also very weak. Today I will take him to visit his father-in-law and mother-in-law. I really got a lot of complaints. My father-in-law has ordered me to send Lian'er tomorrow, and he has to train and teach this kid well, so that he can earn a future in the future."
"You also know that practicing martial arts is the hardest thing. I'm not afraid that I won't be able to change Lian'er's temper. Besides, my mother-in-law is worried that our family will not bear the child's hardship. She has agreed that Lian'er will live in the Hou's mansion on weekdays. He must do it. When you hear the rooster dancing, work hard. Whenever the old lady misses him, just call him back." Regardless of the expressions of others, Jia She closed his eyes half-closed and spoke quickly.
"It's outrageous!" Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Shi Taijun scolded loudly: "It's not that our family has no house. Lianer has a father and a mother, so how can he live in someone else's house. Let the outside know , What should we say about our family? We can’t even accommodate a single child, so we have to live in our grandparent’s house? Do you want the face of Rongguo Mansion, you and your brother’s face? "
"What do you think? Lian'er wants to learn martial arts. It's not like our family can't afford to hire masters. If one doesn't work, we can hire a few more. Besides, Master Zhou is older than me, so how can he work hard for a child?" Him, Boss, I usually tell you to be more cautious, why don't you come back and discuss these things?" Shi Taijun poked his finger, angrily pointing at Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian.
"What are you discussing? Jia Lian is my son. I will be his master when he is young, and he will be his own master when he grows up. There is no need to discuss with others. The master hired outside is no better than his father-in-law, so there is no need to delay Lian." Son, other people don't care, but I, the father, don't want to." Jia She also opened his eyes, looking back with burning eyes, and his calm voice echoed in his ears.
He sneered again, and said mockingly: "As for the opinions of outsiders, what can they think? The head of the Rongguo Mansion is only Lian'er, a single seedling. As a father, I will not be able to tolerate my only son. Since I asked my heart No shame, why worry about other people's comments. Besides, our family is no longer what it used to be, and there are not so many people staring at it."
What he said made Shi Taijun and Jia Zheng and his wife turn pale.That's right, others won't say that you, Jia She, can't tolerate the only son, but they won't stop talking about them.Rongguo Mansion's big family attacked the noble, but the second room occupied the main hall. This matter is no longer news in Beijing.Even if they don't say it, they don't have a clear conscience in their hearts.Why doesn't this Jia Amnesty think more about them? ! !
"The old lady doesn't need to talk anymore, this matter is settled like this." Seeing that Shi Taijun was about to speak again, Jia She glanced at the few people and said in a deep voice: "This matter is beneficial to Lian'er's future, the old lady should be happy for him You know, women have three obediences and four virtues. Since my father passed away, the old lady is supposed to help me make Lianer a success, how can I hold back?"
Three obediences and four virtues!These four words fell on Shi Taijun's head suddenly, making her dizzy.It's not that she doesn't know this, but she never thought that her son would say it to her face.Shi Taijun's complexion could no longer be described as livid, it was almost dripping with gloom, even if she pursed her lips tightly, people could find her gnashing her teeth.
But Jia Amnesty didn't bother her. The matter had been explained, so he pulled Jia Lian, bowed, turned and left.
The sixth chapter is to pick up the story. Jia Amnesty wants to establish authority to distinguish right from wrong. Jia Lian is playing a rogue
"Old lady, what's the matter with you..." This was Jia Yuanchun's voice, which should have been called anxiously and shortly, but she yelled out a lingering charm.
"Father, is it really okay to do this?" Are you sure you won't be scolded to death by the moralists?Hearing the movement, Jia Lian looked back.A group of people headed by Jia Zheng surrounded Shi Taijun, wondering if the old lady was fainted by Jia Amnesty.I don’t know if I vomit blood because of anger, but it’s okay to vomit, it’s healthier to vomit!
It may be that Jia Amnesty has never been so domineering before. Thinking of the stunned and inexplicably stunned expressions of those people in the hall, Jia Lian couldn't help curling his lips.Especially Shi Taijun, from being a great-granddaughter-in-law to having a grandson-daughter-in-law, he raised and suppressed his two sons, and felt that his life was comfortable.Today, he was suddenly disobeyed by the good-for-nothing eldest son, so he must not be shocked.
"Don't worry. The old lady had chest tightness and shortness of breath when she was young. It's been decades, and she's going to have it from time to time. But it's not a problem, and she's relieved after hearing a few good words." Jia Shehun didn't care He waved his hand and listened to the movement over there, "Listen, isn't it slowing down now. It must be no big deal if you can curse people in a calm manner."
Sure enough, Shi Taijun's voice came faintly, "...Listen to what he said, how can I have a foothold here? That's all, I also guess that he is tired of me, an old man who is half buried in the earth. I'm not here to obstruct his eyes, so I'll leave him now, everyone is clean. Lark, go and pack my luggage for me, prepare the carriage and horses, I'm going back to Jinling..."
When she said this, the people around knelt on the ground, begging "the old lady calm down... The old man didn't mean that... When you understand it, you will make an apology...".The more he persuaded him, the more vigorous Shi Taijun became, urging Skylark to pack his things.While speaking, she wiped her tears and gave Hibari a wink.Very busy!
The big maid, Yunque, was supporting Shi Taijun to comfort him, at this moment she nodded slightly, turned her head and went out.The old lady can perform well here, but she can't do without a supporter.This was originally played for the grand master, but now he is about to leave without a trace, how will it end next?You can't let the old lady really go back to her hometown Jinling.
She understood what the old lady was thinking, and ran after Jia She and his son as fast as she could.Complaining in my heart while chasing, this old man is too careless, the old lady is so old, so what can I do if I follow her?How could this son beat his mother in the face like this?It's no wonder that the old lady is so angry. No one dared to talk to her like this for many years.
"My lord, my lord..." Panting, Yunque stopped in front of Jia She and his son, knelt down with a "plop", and begged, "My lord, please go and see the old lady, she passed away just now Ah. You go and admit your mistake to the old lady, and let her calm down. The old lady is so old, if she gets angry, won't you feel sorry for her?"
"Did the old lady ask you to come?" Seeing this maid, Jia Amnesty didn't show any surprise, and just asked her back.
"The old lady was angry and wanted to pack up her things and go back to the old house in Jinling. How could she tell the slaves like that. It's just that the slaves were worried that the disturbance would get out of hand, so they didn't dare to pack up, so they secretly ran over to beg you. My lord, the old lady is the most important thing. Be kind, as long as you soften a little in front of the old lady, you will surely calm down..." These words were very earnest.
How dare Skylark say that the old lady hinted at her coming, wouldn't that embarrass the old lady?She has served by Shi Taijun's side for many years, so she naturally knows that the master is very face-saving.If she dared to make the old lady lose face today, she might not be able to save her life.But she is an old lady's person, she has a dignity that others don't have, and she is not afraid that the old man will not appreciate it.
"Bold slave! The old lady dares to follow her orders, who would allow you to be so presumptuous?!" Before she could finish speaking, Jia Amnesty kicked her over, right on Yunque's heart, "Come on, take this The servant who is used to lying to the master drags her down to beat twenty boards, and then tells the second child's family to give her half a year's money and rations."
As soon as he gave an order, two servants came up immediately, gagged Lark's mouth without any explanation, picked him up, dragged him aside, tied him to a stool, and beat the board.Yunque was stunned and didn't struggle, and when he realized it, the board had already hit him.She was decent in front of the old lady, but she didn't expect the old man to ask someone to beat her, let alone someone who dared to come up and beat her.
Seeing this, Jia Lian raised her eyebrows. It seems that this cheap father still has a few good people in his hands, and he didn't create a scene where he can't help the slaves.He didn't speak, just smiled and watched Yunque's face turned pale and his head covered in cold sweat after being beaten.When there were no more than two boards left in the fight, he persuaded: "Father, since this girl belongs to the old lady, let's spare her this time, she will know her mistake."
"Well, just listen to Lian'er." Jia She waved his hands and ordered, and then said to the gathered servants: "Our family has always had rules and regulations. As a servant, you should listen to the master. If you don’t want to let me know about this kind of obedience, otherwise I will never allow it. Today’s slave is an example, you should learn from it.”
At this time, they were standing outside the hanging flower gate of Rongqing Hall, and this movement attracted many people to watch.There were also those with bright eyebrows and eyes, who ran in quietly to report the news.Sure enough, as soon as Jia She's words fell, a group of people surrounded Shi Taijun and came out.Still some distance away, I heard someone shouting, "The old lady is here, go and see Sister Yunque..."
"You unfilial son, I am a good girl, what are you doing to her? Good, good... I know you are attacking me, so why use it? You beat her, why don't you beat me, an old woman, too. I You say you won’t be an eyesore in front of you, and you want to go back to your hometown, what else do you want? Do you have to force me to enter the palace and go to the ladies to plead guilty? "
"Don't stop me, I'm going to the ancestral hall to cry for the lord." Shi Taijun tremblingly pushed away Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun who were supporting her, his face flushed red, and he poked his finger in front of Jia She, "Why did I give birth?" You, an unworthy and unfilial son, are really born to collect debts. I am already at this age, and because of you, I don't have a day to live in peace. "
"Brother, why don't you admit your mistake quickly and get angry with the old lady once?" Jia Zheng looked angry, and carefully supported Shi Taijun, saying earnestly: "The old lady has been angry just now, don't worry. If you can't stand the trouble anymore, why do you have to do this, big brother? Skylark is the person next to the old lady, how can you go beyond the old lady and deal with her?"
Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun looked at each other and knelt down in front of Jia She at the same time. "Uncle, we juniors don't have the right to talk about this matter, but..." Yuan Chun took two steps on his knees, grabbed Jia She's lapel and said.
"Since you know you have nothing to say, shut up!" Jia Amnesty didn't mean to save face at all, and reprimanded him coldly, causing Jia Yuanchun to blush.Because of her unusual birthday, she was doted on by thousands of people since she was a child, and no one, even the elders, said anything harsh to her.Like Jia She this time
