The Honor of the Red Chamber

But Jia Rong brought Xichun back, and just after taking a breath, Youshi replied, "Master, please come over."

Jia Rong couldn't understand it, so she had to go, but when she saw Jia Zhen, Youshi, and Youlao Niang and Eryou sisters, Jia Zhen's face was very bad, with a ferocious face, Youshi was quite embarrassing. His eyes were reddish, and there seemed to be tears, and he guessed something in his heart, and he was not in a hurry to speak.

The second sister You sat next to her younger sister, her head bowed, her body stiff, her eyes didn't move for a long time, she was so thin that she was only a bone, and there was no trace of her gentle and beautiful style; She still has the same aggressive look with fluttering eyebrows and eyes, only reduced three points of frivolity, and looks much more stable and calm. If you don't see her tightly holding her sister's hand, you can't see much change; Tears, dragging Jia Zhenyou's family to be fair, full of words such as "daughter and son-in-law are unfilial", "if life is not difficult, why bother to cling here to see people's face", and even more ugly "eat it dry and wipe it out and don't admit it "Wait, fortunately she still has a little bit of fear, and she didn't dare to yell like those shrews in the market, otherwise it would be even worse.

The atmosphere was at a stalemate for a while. Although Jia Zhen had lost her desire for the two sisters, because of Youshi, she couldn't really treat the other party as a casual fan. She thought that she would not be afraid to raise two women at home. When You dismissed all the concubines and concubines for molesting children, he tacitly allowed the two to live in the mansion. Unexpectedly, this old lady You was a dissatisfied person. Seeing that the mansion gradually became quieter, the servants, maids and daughters-in-law performed their duties in an orderly manner. They each have their own busy schedules, but they didn't even mention the status of the second daughter who was placed in Jia Zhen's house. Even if she was a second daughter, she was still a serious grandma, and she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life. I am not afraid that Jia Rong will not take care of her. But if she is just a lowly girl in her father's room, once Jia Zhen dies, the new owner can either sell her off or drive her to the Zhuangzi to fend for herself. Her younger sister's prosperity and wealth, so why did she refuse the marriage of the Zhang family, the head of the Huangzhuang?

Because of this idea, Mrs. You provoked her two daughters every day, and she cried in front of Youshi, because Jia Rong had just returned, and Youshi didn't want to disturb him with these things that couldn't be put on the table. Thinking that You Shi deliberately obstructed her, in a hurry, she forgot to be cautious, so she ran to Jia Zhen to complain, but said You Shi was jealous of her younger sister, Jia Rong disrespected her elders, and her mother and daughter suffered from Jia Zhen's protection. A lot of pain.

Although Jia Zhen is not yet at home, Jia Rong is not the kind of ancient person who takes filial piety as food in his bones. Once it is determined that Jia Zhen can no longer stop him from doing things, many things are directly ordered to the subordinates, but Jia is bypassed. Jane regards this nominal patriarch as a decoration, and because of the change of state of mind, environment and status, she no longer makes enough superficial efforts to this cheap "father", which makes Jia Zhen feel a sense of crisis. Like a trapped beast in a desperate situation, it wants to vent madly for the last time.

Seeing Jia Rong came as if nothing had happened, with outstanding demeanor, Jia Zhen was so angry that she felt extremely dazzling, and was fascinated for a while, wishing to go up and beat this son to death. What are you here for? Do you still have me in your eyes, and your mother? Everyone in the house will interfere, are you wishing that you will be happy after we die? Let's see that you are proud of yourself now, and you are being flattered by a villain , Just think of yourself as something special, your bones are so light that you don’t know how high the sky is, and you know that the second sister is your elder, but you dare to treat you with contempt. Are you a burden? With such a character, thanks to the emperor daring to use you, you are not afraid of being an unfaithful and unfilial thing!!"

Such vicious words, how could he swear at will, especially for his only son who had a good future!Doesn't Jia Zhen know that as long as this comment from her father reaches the emperor's ears, no matter how capable Jia Rong is, she will have no future at all?

Jia Rong squinted her eyes. Jia Zhen really didn't have any affection for her son. Even if she thought about her son a little bit, she would never say the words "disloyal and unfilial"!

"Master—" You Shi never expected Jia Zhen to talk nonsense like this, she was shocked and got up to check vigilantly. Although the servants were all shunned by her, she still felt uneasy and looked around frightened. After a while, it was confirmed that there was no one else except the six people in the hall, and then he let out a sigh of relief.

The three of Youshi's mother and daughter are not very clear about the taboo, but they also know that this is too much, the Youshi sisters are still a little bit ashamed, but the old lady You can't hide the color in her eyes.

Seeing through everyone's thoughts, Jia Rong finally showed a scornful smile, which disappeared for a moment, and asked Jia Zhen pretending to be puzzled, "The son dare not accept the father's scolding, but he doesn't know how the son treats the elders so poorly? Ask your father for advice?"

"you……"

Jia Zhen pointed at Jia Rong's nose with a livid face, but was speechless. He scolded Jia Rong for being unfilial, but Jia Rong was really unfilial for him to see!

Jia Rong hooked the corners of her lips, and glanced at the Youshi sisters, her eyes flashed coldly, if they stayed in the mansion honestly, Jia Rong would not care about supporting the three of them more, but if she wanted to disrupt the rules of the mansion and fish in troubled waters, she would be fine. Don't blame him for being rude.

"Wait a moment--"

The second sister You has no city, and the old lady You is greedy for wealth and honor, so she doesn't know what to say, but the third sister You, who really saw the murderous intent from Jia Rong's eyes, couldn't help being cold all over, and before Jia Rong opened her mouth to say What irreversible words, hurriedly interrupted!

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were on her, and the third sister swallowed subconsciously, but she saw that Jia Zhen still had an angry look on her face, and Youshi's face was unswerving, while Jia Rong, who could really decide the fate of her sisters, had a calm expression Looking at her calmly, she was so calm that it made her feel terrified!

Third Sister You held her sister's hand tightly, as if she wanted to borrow some strength from her, and said slowly, "I think Brother-in-law Zhen misunderstood, we live here, there are people waiting for us every day, what to eat and drink Clothes for use, depending on how valuable it is, the eldest sister will never forget that each of us sisters has a share, so why treat them poorly? Those slaves and servants are not good people. If something goes wrong, they will sneaky, play tricks, fish in troubled waters, but my brother-in-law misunderstood, it turns out that we have not restrained people who are good to serve."

Jia Zhen frowned, how could she be different from Mrs. You?

Seeing that Jia Zhen didn't intend to speak, Youshi quickly answered, "How is this my sister's fault? I blame me. I was so busy at the end of the year, but I was negligent, and my mother and sisters were wronged. Tomorrow I will It must be strictly investigated, and the mother and sisters must not suffer this anger in vain."

The second sister didn't respond dumbly, and Mrs. You wanted to yell again, but under Jia Rong's cold and fierce gaze, she didn't dare to make a mistake. Only the third sister smiled forcefully under the pressure, "As a housekeeper, my sister has a lot of big and small things. , how can the younger sisters disturb my elder sister with such trivial matters? Besides, the younger sisters are not young anymore, and living in the house is not a problem after all. My elder sister and I discussed it a long time ago. It’s dilapidated, but it’s still clean after a little repair.”

You Shi was startled, never expecting Third Sister You to make such a sudden request, she couldn't help blurting out, "That's all for you, your sister..."

As she spoke, she suddenly recovered, stopped her mouth, and blushed. Seeing this, Nayou's old lady immediately yelled, "It's all ruined by others. Can I still get married when I take it back? Who would want her?" ? Third sister, don’t worry too much, you ended up hurting your sister!”

After hearing this, Jia Zhen felt her face was blue and red, fluctuating, and extremely embarrassed.

Jia Rong was not surprised that Third Sister You made this request, but Second Sister You knew that she had placed it in Jia Zhen's room, because Jia Zhen is not worth it now, but when a man's self-esteem is there, he will let him go ?

Suddenly a young servant hurried into the yard, and the sound of his footsteps alarmed everyone in the hall, "Master, Wu Zhuangtou from Heishan Village is here!"

It took Jia Zhen a while to react, and when she thought of the identity of Wuzhuangtou, she hit a sap stick as if someone had been wounded alive, her face turned purple, and her red eyes stared like Like a copper bell, it was as vicious as if it was about to devour people. It scared Youshi back a step, and Mrs. You and the Youshi sisters shrank together in fright, not daring to say a word, "This old killer, who is it? I don’t know that the patriarch of the Jia family has changed, what does he mean by coming to see me now? He’s here to make fun of me? Hurry up, fight out!!”

After all, Youshi's status is different, and here she is the only one who can persuade the boy. She hurriedly stopped the servant with her eyes, barely calmed down the violent heartbeat, and said politely, "Master, I forgot, this Wuzhuangtou was originally You single-handedly picked him. You have always been loyal and diligent. There is nothing wrong with it. Besides, the change of the patriarch is an internal matter of the family. It has only been a few days. If he came all the way to Beijing and missed the news, how can he hear about it? He still abides by the previous rules, if the master is not happy about the last year's rent of the village, he will ask his servants to tell him back, so he won't get angry because of something irrelevant."

After listening to Youshi's words, Jia Zhen suppressed her anger, although her face was full of anger, she lost her original impulse, sat down and took a breath, because she said, "Now that you're here, let's see him. "

But Wu Jinxiao didn't know that he had escaped the anger, so he came in tremblingly, caught a glimpse of the woman, knew it was a female relative, hurriedly lowered his head, and kowtowed in the courtyard to pay his respects, Jia Zhen was helped, with a blank expression on his face He took the list in his hand calmly, looked up and down, his face was full of anger, and he smiled gloatingly.

Shaking the list, Jia Zhen said darkly, "I remember that you manage a lot of Zhuangzi under your command, but what can you do with so little stuff throughout the year? Two or three thousand taels is not enough for a first month, but teach us not to New Year's Eve."

Wu Jinxiao hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Don't dare to hide the truth from the master, it's just that the year is not good, since it has been raining since March, it has been intermittently cloudy..."

"okay--"

Jia Zhen waved her hand and interrupted him, "Don't complain to me, you probably don't know yet, but now the patriarch is the political lord in the mansion over there, and he is the most dignified and strict person, so you can tell me about such hardships." Forget him, but I don’t have to worry about such things anymore!”

Wu Jinxiao was stunned.
