Jia Rong, the smiling tiger of the Red Chamber

Jia Mu's Yard

Lin Daiyu was granted the title of Anping County, which should have been a great thing for the Rongguo Mansion, which is going downhill and has no successors, but now with their forced marriage of Lin Daiyu, this is a big deal. A good thing, but it has become a headache for everyone.

"Mother, this is really a great thing. This niece has become a county. Although she can't compare with the status of the head of Lin'an County, she is already considered a daughter of the clan and has a salary and title. From now on, Baoyu's status will also rise with the tide. It's Yibin of the fifth grade." In the future, people in the capital will be respectful when they see him.Originally, she was not happy about this kind of marriage. She didn't want Lin Daiyu to be an orphan, but she had such a fortune, and she was the only one who could barely afford her Baoyu.

This daughter-in-law recognized herself.

Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang with a happy face, and her heart choked. She felt that she was really sorry for Jia Zheng, and she chose such a stupid woman for him.It's no wonder that the second room is now suppressed by the big room and can't move at all. He said: "At the beginning, you tried every means to shirk and refused to achieve this marriage. You only wanted to have a good relationship with your sister. Who thought you were It's hot, but your sister is willing at all. You despised Yu'er back then. Now that Yu'er has become a county, do you think she can be willing here?"

"Mother, what do you mean by that? This marriage has already been settled. Could it be that she still dares to go back on her word?" Mrs. Wang said with a distorted expression.

Although she felt embarrassed, she had to admit that according to the current situation of Rongguo Mansion, Lin Daiyu might really be the best choice for Jia Baoyu.

Jia Mu turned the Buddhist beads on her wrist and said in a deep voice: "The father-in-law who delivered the decree today made a special order. It is said that there is an order from the emperor, and it is said that Yu'er is now a daughter of the clan, so she will not bother me about her marriage." This old woman is troubled. When Yu'er is out of the filial piety period, after she reaches the age of Ji, the emperor will find a good son-in-law for her."

"What? How did this happen?" Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard the words, "How is this possible? Mother, didn't you say that Anping County has already engaged Baoyu?"

"At the beginning, it was just a verbal statement. There was no token. And because Yu'er is still in the filial piety period, this matter is only known to you and my family. Now that the emperor has issued an imperial decree, who dares to disobey?" Jia Mu What I regret most is that I didn't have the heart to make this marriage a reality.He only thought that there was no one in Yu'er's father's family, and her grandmother could already be in charge of her marriage.Who would have thought that Yu'er would have such a fortune?She was also to blame for underestimating Lin Ruhai's son-in-law.

It is true, although the son-in-law is dead, but Yu'er's blood is only under his knees, so he will naturally arrange things behind her.

Mrs. Wang heard the words and stopped talking. She bit her lower lip for a long time before she said again: "Mother, is there really nothing I can do?" She shouldn't have rejected the marriage the first time it was brought up.

"The emperor has issued an imperial decree, what can I do? If... it is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole family will be executed. You and I can't afford it." Daiyu's marriage has already been filed with the emperor. She is not the Queen Mother, how can she change the will of the Holy One.If Daiyu doesn't cooperate with the marriage that has already been arranged, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole family may be involved in it.Although she dotes on Baoyu, she also has to think about other people in the house.

Mrs. Wang also felt unreconciled when she heard the words.But just as Jia Mu said, if the emperor finds out what he does, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor, and no one can bear it.

"But there is a way?" Although the chances are slim, it is not impossible.

"any solution?"

Jia Mu said: "If Yu'er asked for it on her own initiative, it would be different."

"Mother means..." Perhaps it was Jia Mu's words that reminded Mrs. Wang, and suddenly a thought arose, and she even lowered her eyelids to cover her eyes in order to prevent Jia Mu from seeing it.

"It was only a while ago that we forced Yu'er to agree. If we want her to agree willingly, I'm afraid she can't." Jia Mu said with a sigh.

In fact, this is all right, if Yu'er doesn't marry Baoyu, she will be able to see Min'er when he is in Jiuquan.

"My niece is just a little girl. Her mind is also very simple. If we are easy to please and treat her here, she and Bao Yunai are cousins ​​who grew up together, and they have a relationship since childhood. If you can't keep the niece together, you are willing." The raw rice has been cooked into cooked rice, so I'm not afraid that she won't want it.Although Baoyu said that she was inhumane, only her family and some confidantes knew that putting the two together would ruin her reputation. When the time comes, she will marry if she marries, and if she does not marry, she will marry.

Mrs. Wang concealed the gloom in her eyes, and thought so.

Rikain

Because Lin Daiyu was still in the period of filial piety, Mother Jia was afraid of causing bad luck, so after Jia Lian brought Lin Daiyu back this time, she did not let Lin Daiyu live in her yard, but asked Lin'an County Lord to clean up the Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner. , Let Lin Daiyu stay.

On the surface, he also found an excellent excuse, saying that it was inconvenient to bother her to keep her father's filial piety, so as to satisfy her filial piety.

At this time, the courtyard was full of joy, whether it was the maid Lin Daiyu brought from the Lin family when she came back this time or the servant who was originally served by the Jia family.All are happy.

Although Lin Daiyu is a little narrow-minded, she is not a stingy person.She entertained Xueyan personally, and all the servants in her yard, no matter if they were the big maids or the little maids who waited for the cleaning, would all be rewarded with an extra two months' money.

This makes the serving servants unhappy.

The happiest ones are Lin Daiyu and Xueyan, the master and servant.

"Girl, it's great now. You don't have to worry all night anymore. Girl, you are already in Anping County, and the emperor has specifically said that he wants to personally intervene in your marriage. You don't have to worry about being judged by the old lady." The wife is persecuting you with filial piety." Xue Yan's face was full of joy, "Master's words are not wrong at all, this Uncle Rong is indeed a reliable person. It's not long before the slaves have passed on here. I thought I had to wait until he came back. It’s resolved. No, it’s already resolved now.”

Lin Daiyu also smiled for the first time since she was forced into marriage by Jia Mu, "Yes. After all, it is my father who is thoughtful." Her tone was stewed, and she continued: "By the way, Brother Rong, remember to prepare The last thank-you gift. Someone quietly sent it over. Although it was an entrustment from my father before his death, it was a troublesome matter after all. Now that the matter is resolved, I must thank him once."

Xueyan smiled, and said briskly: "I don't need a girl... No, it should be called a county now. You don't need to be ordered by the county, and the slaves will save it." She turned her head and looked at the imperial decree that enshrined the county. There were quite a few imperial edicts, and he asked again: "Miss, the emperor also rewarded you with many things. Should I make a book together with the things in the mansion, or create a separate book."

"Let's start another one. These are gifts from the emperor, and they are also a respect to the Holy One." Lin Daiyu said.

"Yes, girl."

Back in the capital, as soon as Jia Rong got off the pier, she turned her head and asked Wu Ya, who had come to pick her up, and asked without thinking: "Has Miss Lin's matter been resolved?"

"Master, don't worry, everything has been resolved. The emperor issued an imperial decree to Rongguo Mansion on the same day, sealing Miss Lin as Anping County, and specially sent an oral order to Mrs. Shi, saying that she should not interfere with the county's marriage. "Wu Ya replied.

When Jia Rong heard this, she also nodded.

As long as it's settled, he is really worried. The narrow-mindedness and stinginess of Emperor Qianyuan are even worse than that of Emperor Longqi. If he was not afraid of his stinginess, he would at least ask for a county for Lin Daiyu. Lord's title down.

With this imperial decree from Emperor Qianyuan, Lin Daiyu can be counted on for life in the future.I have taken such a sum of money from Lin Ruhai, and now I can take it with peace of mind.

Ningguo Mansion

Did any happy event happen in this mansion?Why do the servants all have such an expression?After Jia Rong entered the mansion, she keenly noticed that the expressions on the faces of the servants in the mansion were different, and she became a little confused.

"Wu Ya, you don't have something to hide from me, do you?" Jia Rong turned her head and asked.

Seeing that Jia Rong's tone and complexion were a bit wrong, Wuya no longer wanted to hide anything, and replied directly: "Returning to the master, it's because Grandma is two and a half months pregnant. It was a month ago." It has already been found out, and it is said that it is a surprise for the master, so we are not allowed to tell it without telling the truth, and the subordinates for a while..."

"Okay, reading this time is not an important matter. You have worked hard in Beijing and China. I will make a note here not to settle accounts. If it happens again next time, no matter how serious or small the matter is, I will not take it lightly here. Forgive you." Jia Rong said with a cold face.

"Yes, master. The subordinates know." Looking at Jia Rong's expressionless face, Wu Ya felt that the eldest grandma wanted to surprise the master with all her heart, and now it might not be a surprise, but a shock.Could it be that the master doesn't want grandma to be pregnant?

No way?It is a great thing for a master to have a junior master, even those who are his subordinates are also happy.What's more, the master and grandma have been married for three years, and the master is now twenty.Those who are about the same age as the master already have children.The second master Lian of Rongguo Mansion is only a few years older than his master, but his son has already run all over the place.

To be honest, Jia Rong really didn't look forward to the heir like the people here.If you have it, it will be a good teaching. If you don't have it, it's God's will, so don't worry too much about it.

"Your maidservant has met you, congratulations, lord." When Yu Wei saw Jia Rong's figure, she immediately blessed herself, and then said a little quickly.

When Yingxue on the side heard Yuwei's words, she rolled her eyes on the spot. Yuwei was really serious, and she didn't have a clue.It only makes sense for grandma to say it herself.

When Gu Qingrong saw Jia Rong, she smiled shyly, put her hands on her stomach almost subconsciously, and said softly, "Master is back." Naturally, I am very happy.If she is lucky enough to get a man in one fell swoop, because in this way, she will be able to gain a firm foothold in Jia's family and have enough confidence, even if she doesn't give Jia Rong a lift, she can barely say it.

Jia Rong also smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Yingxue and Yuwei left with winking eyes.

"You have a body, so you don't need to stand like this, just sit down." Although compared to medical skills, he is more proficient in poisoning skills, but because of his limited status now, his medical skills are more outstanding.Although he is not as proficient in gynecology as Zhiqiu, he also knows that pregnant women should not stand for a long time.

Gu Qingrong was startled by Jia Rong's words, "Master, you already know."

Jia Rong nodded: "En."

Gu Qingrong is also a person with winking eyes. Seeing that Jia Rong's complexion didn't change much, nor was there much joy, her heart skipped a beat, and she said cautiously, "Master, you don't like children?"

"It's not really. It's just that it came too suddenly, without any preparation. It just didn't react for a while." Hearing Gu Qingrong's cautious tone, Jia Rong knew that she was thinking too much, so she said again: "You are here too." Don't think too much about it, just take care of the childbirth, and give birth to the child safely is the right thing to do."

"Yes, sir, I know." Even though he said so, Gu Qingrong was still a little worried.But thinking that Jia Rong has always been indifferent to everything, he felt that he was thinking too much.

Jia Rong said a few more words to stabilize Gu Qingrong's heart, then got up and went to the study.

"Grandma, what's the matter? It looks a bit unhappy?" After Yingxue and Yuwei sent Jia Rong away, they seemed a little unhappy when they saw Gu Qingrong's expression as soon as they entered the door.

Gu Qingrong might still be able to hide things from Jia Rong, but not to the maid she married, "Well, I don't think the uncle likes children very much." Hearing the news of her pregnancy, she didn't show anything special.

"Grandma is too caring. When Grandpa left just now, she told Yingxue and I to take good care of Grandma so that you don't get tired." To be honest, Yuwei also felt that Grandpa didn't care about her grandma's pregnancy. It's too bland, of course, but I can't say this.

Yingxue also echoed and said: "But. Grandma, your mind has become more sensitive this time of pregnancy. Besides, the uncle has always been like this. But the uncle must like children. You can see that the uncle's attitude towards the eldest girl is the same. I know, I don’t know how much I like it. Every time the uncle goes out, he will never forget to bring back a gift for the eldest girl. Even the eldest girl’s biological mother, Aunt Pei, will also benefit from it. His status in the mansion, apart from the serious master like you, madam, grandma Outside, it belongs to her."

Hearing Yingxue and Yuwei's successive comforts, Gu Qingrong felt much better.Especially thinking of Jia Rong's attitude towards Sister Ying and Sister Han, I feel more at ease.

That's right, the uncle is cold by nature, if the uncle is really too happy, I'm not used to saying that I can't say it here.What Yuwei said was not bad at all, perhaps because of her pregnancy, she was a little sensitive and thought about it more.
