Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 30 Wang Xifeng Gets a Son ([-])

Jia Amnesty is hugging his freshly baked grandson, and Jia Lian is beside him. Seeing his father like this makes his heart warm.Mrs. Wang was still standing on the steps, looking at the father and son, feeling a little funny in her heart, when she heard a commotion from a distance, she looked around and saw that it was Mother Jia leading Jia Yao and a group of maidservants Swinging this way.Mrs. Wang knew that Mother Jia attached great importance to the eldest son's grandson, but she didn't expect to come to visit in person, and she couldn't help but feel a little sour.It's just that I can't show it naturally, so I said with a smile on my face, "Look at the old lady, she is so worried, she actually came to see it herself!"

When Jia Amnesty and his son heard this, they turned their heads to look over and saw that Jia's mother was a gangster.Jia Amnesty also held his grandson in his arms, and led Jia Lian to greet him.Jia's mother has been worried since she received the news of Wang Xifeng's launch.After waiting restlessly for a while, not knowing what the situation ahead was, she was worried, and led Jia Yao, who insisted on following her, to Wang Xifeng's yard, wanting to see for herself what was going on there.Still far away, she vaguely saw her eldest son holding a child in his hands.Knowing that the baby had been born safely, Mother Jia felt relieved at first, and then brought it up again, worrying whether it was a boy or a girl.Her second daughter-in-law was also there, presumably to see Feng girl.After watching her come over, he said something to his eldest son.Mother Jia watched Jia Amnesty holding his great-grandson and leading his grandson over.

Jia Amnesty came to Jia's mother and asked Jia Lian to say hello first.Mother Jia waved her hand impatiently, "Don't even do that kind of politeness. The child is... how about it?" Jia Amnesty knew what his mother was asking when he heard it, and replied with a smile, "Daughter-in-law Lian is married. Great work, he's a kid." Jiamu laughed so hard that all the creases appeared on her face.Although this is not the No. 1 of the great-grandchildren, but this is the son of the only seedling of the big family. This is the child of the heir of the Rongguo Mansion.Mother Jia took over the little great-grandson from her son. She was not very close to the great-grandchildren, but this time she was in a very happy mood. Seeing that little Douding in her arms was like a sweetheart. "Hey, this kid has such handsome features! Xi'er, this kid looks like your father!" Jia Yao secretly slandered at the side, the little baby's eyes were not open, how did they see the features?Jia Amnesty and his mother hadn't been close since they were young, but today is a great day, and he was also very happy that Jia's mother was so happy.Then he followed Jia's mother's words and said, "I look at the child as a lucky one, haha. He is much more pleasing than Lian'er when he was a child!" Jia Lian is Jia's mother's precious grandson, and he doesn't look down on his son like Jia She. She was pleasing to the eye, crossed her eyebrows at her son, and said, "Nonsense! Lian'er is also a beautiful child. You were so handsome when you were a child! You are a real baby." Now Jia Lian has a son, and he is in front of his cousin again. In the face of my son, I heard Jia's mother's nickname.There was a bit of embarrassment on his face, and he coughed embarrassingly.

Their family loved each other, and Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable.Actually speaking, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are the biological sons of Mrs. Jia.But Jia She was taken away and raised by Jia Daishan's mother when he was a child, so he is definitely not as close to his mother as Jia Zheng and Jia Minlai.However, even if Jia's mother prefers the younger son and the younger daughter, it is human nature.It is impossible for Jia's mother to not care about Jia Amnesty.That was her own son who was conceived in October, and she was not raised by her stepmother, and Mrs. Jia was not mentally twisted. Apart from the fact that the elder son was not more inclined to indulge in sex, there was nothing wrong with it. Generally speaking, a bowl of water is flat.It's just that although Jia She has no great prospects, he has a stubborn personality. He married a good wife first, and the two were mixed together. The Zhang family was also loved by Jia Mu, so the relationship between Jia She and Jia Mu was once very harmonious.But later, because Jia Hu went, so did Mrs. Xing, who Mrs. Jia showed him, looked away again.Another Jia She is getting older, so the relationship with Jia's mother has retreated.Jia Lian didn't tend to go to Jia Mu's side much, and Jia Amnesty didn't care about him. Gradually, Jia Mu became far away from the big house.Although there is still Yingchun, firstly she is a concubine, and secondly her personality is not unusual. Although Jiamu bears the name of education, she doesn't take it very seriously.As Mrs. Wang is Jia Zheng's wife and Jia Amnesty is the legitimate heir of the Rongguo Mansion, it is impossible for Mrs. Wang to like Dafang from the bottom of her heart.It's a conflict of interest.Fortunately, Jia's mother has always loved her children all these years, and she was indifferent to Jia Lian and the concubine who couldn't make a sound, so she was relieved.

Seeing that the smile on Mrs. Wang's face could no longer be maintained, Jia Yao hurriedly interrupted, "Congratulations to the ancestor. Congratulations to the uncle, congratulations to the second brother. Congratulations to the wife. Congratulations to Yao'er."

Jia Amnesty was happy to see the child, so he smiled and teased her, "Girl, what are you congratulating?" Jia Yao smiled sweetly, "The old ancestor is going to be a great-grandmother again, congratulations. Uncle is going to be a grandpa." , congratulations. The second elder brother is going to be a father, congratulations. My wife is going to be the second grandmother, congratulations. I am going to be a little aunt again, congratulations too." The adults laughed when they heard this, and Jia Mu teased her, "What's the matter?" Congratulations, you have to give red envelopes to your little nephew during festivals in the future." Jia Yao blinked her big eyes and said, "I also gave it to Laner, but I will just give you an extra one in the future! Of course I know? But , did the little nephew have a name?"

"The matter of the name has not yet been decided. I have drawn up some these days. As a father, do you have a regulation for the name of your son?" Jia She looked at Jia Lian.Jia Lian shook his head and said, "I also have some ideas, but I can't be sure in the end. I want to give him a nickname first, and it won't be too late to confirm the first name when he is one year old." After hearing this, Jia Amnesty returned to the habit of looking down on his son anyway. He stared at him habitually, "Hmph! It's a shame that you are still a father. You can't even name your son!" Jia She forgot that Jia's mother was right next to him, so Jia's mother habitually protected her grandson, "This is Lian'er's first time as a father, so how could he be so thoughtful. A family like us naturally has to choose an appropriate name. I think Lian'er is very stable!"

Jia Amnesty didn't dare to disobey his mother, so he had to give Jia Lian a look, and said, "You are an adult, and now that you have a child, you should have some serious work. See you are ignorant every day, and you can't be good at writing or martial arts. Set an example for your son!" Mother Jia defended again, "Lian'er will inherit the Rongguo Mansion in the future. Wen Chengwu may not be all right. Just manage the affairs of the mansion in a serious manner and run the family well. Just don’t make any mistakes. Don’t cross-eyed your child every day!” Jia She said again, “What mother said is true. It was because I was worried about entrusting the family business to him.” Speaking of this, Jia The mother stopped protecting her grandson blindly, and she corrected her expression and said to Jia Lian, "Your father said that. Your ancestors passed the Rongguo Mansion into your hands, so you have to manage it well. Even for your son, you also A good Rongguo Mansion must be handed over to him." Jia Lian hurriedly agreed.

While Jia Yao was listening, an idea suddenly came to her mind. "Old ancestor, there is a Zhuangzi shop outside our mansion, with land property." Mother Jia was surprised when she heard this, but she thought it was Mrs. Wang who had told her, so she didn't care too much, and replied, "It's hard for you to be a villain." I can think of this. Our family has some. But it’s not a serious business, it’s just a business, a dowry or a reward.” Jia Yao pretended to be naive and said, “Since the second brother wants to inherit the Rongguo Mansion, why not Seriously develop some industries. Run some Zhuangzi and good fields, etc., so that everyone can grow up." Jia Lian's heart brightened after hearing this, and it's not like he didn't think about it. He was impatient in reading since he was a child, and he didn't have much talent in martial arts. .In terms of independent management and dealings, he is a bit more talented than others.It's just... Sure enough, Jia's mother disagreed, "Our family is a decent family, and we don't lack money. Why bother to compete with the people for profit! Besides, the businessman's business is done by the lowest people. Your second elder brother has a noble status, how can you Can act like that!" Jia Lian knew early on that talent in this field is shameful and not for outsiders to understand.Unexpectedly, his little cousin said again, "Second brother doesn't need to show up. But hold tight behind the scenes. Take a look at those shops. In addition, buy a few villages on the outskirts of the city, and manage some land in Jinling's hometown. Let's The mansion has some of its own fruits and vegetables, and secondly, it can be used to subsidize the use of the mansion by collecting rent, and three of them can also help the tribe." Jiamu listened to what she said, and she was very polite, although she still didn't want Jia Lian to do it. These, after all, praised her, "it's hard for you to learn with your wife these few months, and you know a lot." In fact, Mrs. Wang never taught her these things, most of them are her own ideas.But of course, she wouldn't say that Mrs. Wang thought her girl was smart, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Seeing that Jia Mu was just perfunctory, Jia Yao knew that this matter was still not going to work, so she had to do it first, but she heard Jia Lian say, "Old ancestor, the Lian'er that the third sister said is very feasible. Lian'er is not a big deal in civil and military matters." Promising, not to mention running some family property is a way out." Jia Mu didn't like to hear this, "Who said you are not promising. You are not very promising, but I am the happiest if you just handle the affairs of the house well." Jia Lian also said, "Although the ancestors love each other, Lian'er should have other ideas, not to mention being more confident for the Rongguo Mansion, but for the great-grandson of the ancestors, the grandson should also work hard." It was also rare to agree with his son once, and then said, "Mother, he is so old, he should be busy with his career. It may not be good if he is asked to do it. Even if he is asked to practice, it's okay. It's better than him doing it every day. Nothing to do, spending time and drinking is better." Jia's mother was very disrespectful to her eldest son, "You know how to talk about my grandson, and you don't look at yourself." However, both Jia She and his son said so, and she had some Selfishness.Thinking about going by himself in the future, the two sons will always be separated.The eldest son, Chengjue, and the youngest son got less. If the family of Rongguo Mansion was more wealthy, the youngest son's family could get a little more, so they finally let go, "Since both of you and your son say so, let Lian'er try it." .”

Jia Yao didn't expect the situation to develop like this, and secretly said "yeah" in her heart.She is one step closer to her goal of strengthening the Rongguo Mansion.
