Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Chapter 141 smashing people with money

The Zhang family received Ai Ruo a little stiffly, but for Jia Hu's sake, the old lady Zhang still maintained a good demeanor.The old lady Zhang looked at Jia Hu intently, she seemed to be doing well, she nodded, "Let's go to school!"

Ai Ruo also gave Jia Hu an encouraging smile. To be honest, although Mrs. Zhang raised Jia Hu by her side like Jia Mu in the book, she did not abandon Jia Hu like Jia Mu in the book. He really loved Jia Hu, and it was this love that made him even stricter. At this moment, Ai Ruo respected Mrs. Zhang.Sure enough, there is an essential difference between a literate old Fengjun and an uneducated one.

Jia Hu was taken down, Ai Ruo hurriedly asked someone to bring a gift, but the old lady Zhang didn't even look at it, she just waved her hand, "You don't need to be so polite, Hu'er is also my grandson."

"The proper etiquette should be observed. Brother Hu also said that the old lady, the two uncles and wives are doing well." Ai Ruo still asked people to hand over the gifts separately. The gift tray was not covered with red silk. It is clear at a glance.The old lady has two uncles and wives. The old lady didn't expect that the Jia family would suddenly throw money at people, and her eyes flashed.

Mrs. Zhang is a shrewd person. She was actually thinking these days why the Jia family wanted to take Jia Hu back. Could it be that someone under her nose made Jia Hu look bad.

They sent people to investigate, but they couldn't find anything. The Zhang family was noble for several generations, and the upbringing of the servants could not be as rich and dignified as those of the Jia family in "Dream of Red Mansions".Besides, mentality is very abstract. Can Jia Hu have the same mentality in his ancestral home as in his own?

Now that Ai Ruo sent a generous gift, the old lady's original thoughts were aroused again, what does Jia's family mean by this?Sending generous gifts, besides myself, I also gave two daughter-in-laws, which is actually incompatible with the gift, and it is not appropriate for relatives to move around.What do you want to say when you give such a thing without covering it with red silk, just to show it to her?

Afraid that the child will suffer here?Then why not when sending Jia Hu off for the first time.deliver?If not this will be delivered?Still sending it with my aunt?Could it be that what he couldn't see had caused Jia Hu a disadvantage?Glancing at the two daughters-in-law, she inadvertently saw the handkerchiefs twisted into sticks in the hands of the two daughters-in-law, and the old lady's heart tightened suddenly.

Jia Hu did suffer, but not in Zhang's house.But in school.Mrs. Zhang is an old-fashioned person, so naturally she would not think of going to the school to check anything. She took it for granted that the resources in the school are provided by their mansion. If her precious grandson has gone, who would dare to bully her?But she never expected that it was her grandchildren who were bullying her precious grandson.

You must know the family history of the Zhang family, which are all descendants of the Zhang family.It would be a bit abrupt for someone not surnamed Zhang to appear suddenly.And children, more or less can also violent waves.Who knows what to say if it is not obedient.Jia Hu is not the one who likes to talk, so naturally Mrs. Zhang doesn't know.

As for why Jia Hu's cousin bullied Jia Hu, there is still a reason.Jia Hu had been well protected by the Zhang family before, and he only knew Zhang's cousin, not yet.Every year, when the family members have birthday banquets, they take each other with them, and we don't see each other very often.It's just a matter of face.Mrs. Zhang was in Jia's house on weekdays, and was watched by Jia's mother. She had no time to go home. Sometimes she just gave gifts and didn't go. It's strange that the cousins ​​have feelings.

Although Mrs. Zhang doesn't trust her sister-in-laws very much.But I really didn't expect that when she arrived, she offended the sisters-in-law completely.Who has no selfishness?The Zhang family was a noble family for several generations. Although they have a good reputation, their family property is not much.However, literati pay attention to their reputation, and they do not separate families for several generations, showing their unity and good family tradition.The problem is, the tree is big and there are dead branches, so, looking at the big family, in fact, the life of each house is very poor.

Think about it, Mrs. Wang's monthly payment in Jia's house is only 20 taels of silver.It was Grandma Liu who was right, 20 taels would last a year in an ordinary household.But are they ordinary people?The Zhang family has a reputation, everyone has a piece of sky, and they have to socialize when they go out.What can their monthly money be used for?Besides, men also have to socialize. Even if a family does not need money for clothing and food, the various expenses are not small.And what each house can use, apart from the monthly money, is actually only the dowry of the hostess.

Before Mrs. Zhang died, she handed over the dowry list to Mrs. Zhang, and told her own arrangement. After reading the list, Mrs. Zhang knew that it was her daughter who coaxed her uncle to take out their private house, and left it to her two. a grandson.Mrs. Zhang also explained that she handed over the income account book to her natal family, firstly because she was afraid that Jia Amnesty would think too much, and secondly because the old lady was too old to take care of many things.You can't send your children to the Zhang family too.Mrs. Zhang also heard her daughter’s helplessness. After all, she was with Zhang’s sister-in-law. Looking at the dowry list, the second wife of Jia’s family would have some scruples. It's not right to draw a good face for the child.

The old lady Zhang cried a lot when she went home, but she still called her two sons to her, copied a copy of the dowry list and handed them to them, saying that if she was gone, you, as uncles, would also be taking care of your nephew. Be optimistic about your belongings.

The uncle of the Zhang family is a scholar, and he also felt sorry for his sister. He also cried hard, and took the list back to his daughter-in-law. This is a matter of the inner house.The two uncles and wives didn't know that there was also a private house given by Jia Amnesty, and when they saw the dowry list, their eyes were blazing.

In fact, saying they don't know is just nonsense, and it's because they don't want to think too much about it. When Mrs. Zhang got married, they didn't know what was in the dowry.But what they got back at this time is not the same as what they sent out before. They didn't want to think that it belonged to the Jia family. Let them know that Zhang bought the property later, so there are so many.The more I think about it, the more annoyed I feel. I feel that Zhang's marriage has hollowed out the Zhang family.Thinking that the Zhang family is so rich, and they have to put on dowry, can you feel comfortable?

And Jia Hu lived in front of the old lady when she came, can they not think too much?The old lady likes Jia Hu so much, she can't say that she will share with Jia Hu in the future, the old lady's private house can be shared with them in the future, it has nothing to do with the public, this will undoubtedly violate their interests again, they can be angry Ping is strange.

In front of the two uncles, they naturally dare not say anything. They are brothers and sisters, uncles and nephews, one for each other. The nephews are pitiful, let them take good care of them, and it is useless to say what they say, otherwise it will affect the relationship between husband and wife , but they naturally have an outlet to vent their anger. They also have sons, so they naturally revealed a little bit to the children.

The child is innocent, but he was instigated by his mother, and his father was kind to Jia Hu, because Jia Hu heard what Ai Ruo said, saying that his mother was watching him in the sky and asked him to study hard, so he really worked hard. , I also had Lu Buqun's foundation before, and worked hard, and my talent for reading is also good. The husband is not unflattering, and the two uncles are also very happy. Naturally, his son has nothing to do to learn from Jia Hu, work hard, and be obedient.With his father's carelessness and his mother's instigation, it's no wonder they were able to treat Jia Hu well.

Otherwise, Jia Hu wouldn't be so unhappy at the Zhang family.Because other than the old lady and the two uncles, other people really don't welcome him. The two cousins ​​have nothing to do with bullying him at school, and he doesn't like to talk about it, and the young master of the Zhang family is the serious master of the Zhang family's servants. People would not turn to Jia Hu, and naturally no one would tell Mrs. Zhang, so it became like this.

Now that Ai Ruo gave a generous gift, the two wives didn't feel grateful, but even more uncomfortable.They didn't believe that this huge gift came from the second room's private treasury. They only thought that no one could touch the dowry list, but the proceeds were in Ai Ruo's hands.They naturally thought that Ai Ruo was just being generous to others.How can I be calm? What I'm thinking at this moment is that they raised the child for the Jia family, but the proceeds went to the second wife of the Jia family. The two uncles and wives were on fire.

"Second wife is really too polite. Hu'er is also our master's nephew after all. Is it possible that you still want to give Shuxiu money for the meal?" Mrs. Zhang smiled dryly and said, she may not have noticed, The sharpness of her voice.

"My uncle reminded me that my brothers have to settle accounts. Hu'er is the eldest son and grandson of Jia's family, so she should be studying in Zhang's family." Ai Ruo smiled. Nodding, Zhou Rui's family brought a tray and gently placed it on the table next to Mrs. Zhang.This time the tray was covered with a silk cloth, so it was hard to see what was inside. It looked like a small box, so it was not silver, but bank notes.

"Our old man also knows very well that the Zhang family has a profound academic background. Even if the family is dissatisfied with brother Hu's long-term and far-sightedness, he still asks his subordinates. I also know that the old lady and the two uncles must feel deeply inconvenienced, but for the sake of My child, but I can only trust you with a brazen face. Before coming here, I specifically asked the junior to tell the old lady, please don’t refuse, otherwise, it will really embarrass the Jia family." Ai Ruo got up and said very earnestly.

Mrs. Zhang didn't look at her daughter-in-law again this time, but took a deep look at Ai Ruo.She is an old man, so she naturally knows that the generous gifts and bundle repairs all show that Jia Hu has really suffered a lot in the Zhang family.Even their second wife can't see it, and if they want to send generous gifts, is it really a slap in the face of the Zhang family?She suddenly felt a little discouraged.

"You old masters are too polite! Hu'er came to study, originally it didn't cost anything, but in order to let the child feel at ease, the old man accepted it for the school. These days, the old man has also thought about it. The old man should not only think about his daughter and grandson. So I took Hu'er by my side. Now that Hu'er is studying here, I can see my old man from time to time, which is already your old man's generosity. Let Hu'er go home and live by your old man's side for a long time, and replace him Parents do filial piety." Mrs. Zhang said slowly without refusing.
