Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Chapter 2

As expected, the old lady gave her a hard look, and after a while, she sighed softly again, "It's a big heart."

"Speaking of you? I've been holding on to my sons and married a capable daughter-in-law, but she turned out to be different from what you thought. She wanted the old man to become an official. You thought it was a sign of prodigal fortune, so you asked me to suppress them. Hold on Master, you won’t be allowed to take the exam. At that time, the eldest son Xijue will not give you a serious position anyway. With the recommendation of the master, the master can also be a petty official, and then the family can live in peace. Sister-in-law thinks differently, you Just force her to death. Do you think that if you force her to death, the Elder Master can really be abolished, and then he can obediently guard the family business without causing trouble. Our master is pedantic in nature, let alone, So you always feel that you are right, you are for the good of the family?" Ai Ruo nodded, which makes sense.

That's right, in my memory, Mother Jia has always hated Mrs. Zhang. Before, she thought it was because Mrs. Zhang came from a noble family, and Mrs. Jia looked down on her mannerisms, but thinking about it now, maybe Mrs. Jia remembered Jia Yuan If so, I was afraid that the Zhang family would blindly force Jia She to love him. If Jia She was allowed to make progress, Jia Yuan would let the three generations of low-key and stable family policy go to waste, so he helped the second house to suppress the big house. This is also very possible.

Then as time went by, she found joy in power, just like an emperor, she picked up two houses to fight, the more she was sought after as a fisherman, so she fell in love with this feeling, once she felt that they had a chance to escape When possible, she forgot everything and desperately wanted to restore her authority, so she made one wrong step, one wrong step at a time, and in the end she even forgot what she wanted.Maybe she seriously thought about the serious illness this time, so she finally remembered why, but it was too late at this time.

"Isn't it?" Seeing Ai Ruo's disbelief, Jia's mother looked at her coldly.

"No, I believe it, but have you ever calculated it? How much is the salary of a title and a petty official? How do you support this family? Also, have you ever thought about the dignified Duke's mansion, The third generation doesn’t have any outstanding ones, and then what? Some people still have some military power in their families, or they still have some skills. If a saint is really picky, they can still fight. When a saint makes a move, you have to think about whether there will be any consequences. Like you, you are bold and ignorant, and you don’t have a supporter in your family. When something happens, if you don’t kill the sacrificial flag, you will be sorry for his brain.”

Ai Ruo stared at the old lady, Jia Yuan just let the three generations be gentle and low-key, don't be an official or a master, and don't let the family get involved in the imperial power.But didn't say, let the family be abolished.This is two different things!Neither of the two houses has a pillar. When the royal family arrives, they don't even bother to find a capable family to find a scapegoat. They just look for them. They are fat and incompetent, so easy to slaughter.How beautiful the sacrificial flag is, I killed two generations of the descendants of the state, and said it.The status of the royal family can be stabilized a lot, Jiamu's brain!

"At home..." Mother Jia blushed, she didn't know whether it was shame or anger, it was unpredictable anyway.

"Don't tell me, the family has a lot of money. As I just said, the family has no money. Even if there is some money, even if you don't return the silver taels from the treasury and the meritorious officials, you can't afford to support such a big family. The big house three One child and one daughter; two sons and two daughters in the second room. How long do you think they can last for their respective marriages? Besides, when you are gone, the family will be separated. Hand in hand, have you ever thought that in fact, you are letting your brother fight against the wall, and this is the root of the prodigal family?"

"Didn't the master tell you to separate your family?" Mother Jia said angrily. She had always felt that it was unfilial for her parents to separate their children. She was still very angry when she thought about it now, but her anger did not mean that she could bear the blame of the prodigal. The blame has already been divided into families, why do you say that there are those who don't?

"If you hadn't made such a fuss and kept fighting with me to the death, would the old man have separated us? If I really listened to you all the time, let you raise the child, and then let you leave another girl, The girl on the right stuffed it into our house, and I will be played to death by you sooner or later. By the way, you don’t know, will you be scolded to death by Qingliu for molesting your mother and maidservant? You think it’s good to give your girl to your son Fame? At that time, people will only say that the Rongguo Mansion has no rules at all. You think that when people say you are a coincidence, they are really a coincidence. She was not afraid of her before, and she is even less afraid now.

Mother Jia bit her lip and stopped talking, because she really couldn't remember why she gave her maid to her son at that time. Everyone did this at home, and she was scolded by her daughter-in-law for whatever she did.The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"Just tell me if you are jealous, what are you trying to do with me?"

"Why can't I be jealous? I gave birth to a child to death, but your son hangs around in the side room with his little wife in his arms. You are also a woman. If the old man did this, what would you do? Your Jia family is not fond of flattering bastards, don't tell me What kind of nonsense is it that many children are blessed? In your eyes, the concubine born to a girl is probably not as good as a first-class girl, and he is not even a plaything! You are basically purely boring, and you just want to pick on your son and daughter-in-law. If you don’t want to, I’ll flatter you, so you are the only old lord of the family, and no one can do anything to you, can’t you?”

Jia's mother continued to stare at Ai Ruo, thinking that this person was really annoying, "Are you trying to piss me off and get it over with?"

"A little bit, you say, how unlucky I am, I am too lazy to ask for your things, I just want to separate the family, stay away from you, let the master make progress with peace of mind, and the child is obedient, tell me, am I asking too much? ? The master is really more filial than our master. You are in their hands, no way, you may have a better life, but if you fall into our hands, you haven’t seen our master’s temper. For him, his children are the most important. , you can’t let the results of his years of hard work go to waste, so you can only be locked up and offered food and drink, but he won’t listen to a word of your words.”

"Yeah, his child is the most important, and you are not important. If in the end, he thinks you will harm his child, I'm afraid you won't end up much better than me." Jiamu finally found a breakthrough and sneered After a while, "Yeah, Zheng'er is just like his father. For the sake of the children, the old man disregards the relationship between husband and wife. My today, maybe, is your tomorrow."

Ai Ruo was silent, yes, I challenged the royal family in such a high-profile way, compared to those things Jiamu did that were not on the stage, it was really different, I might harm the children.

Mother Jia waited for her to fight back, but it turned out that Ai Ruo, who had been venomous all the time, stopped talking. She felt that she was abnormal, she was a demon, and stared at her for a while, "What did you do?"

"It's okay, my relationship with the royal family is too close. It may be a good thing now, but it may be a bad thing in the future. You just ruined your son and daughter's face, and I may ruin their lives." Ai Ruo sighed softly and smiled bitterly. .

Mother Jia's face turned blue all of a sudden, and she stared at her for a long time, but soon she relaxed again, "No, no, you also said, your children, you teach very well, you let They are self-sufficient and have their own strengths, and you have saved a lot of money for them. Your temperament will not get involved in those terrible things, and at most you know some secrets. But this, when they give you a glass of poisoned wine, it will be over, no It will destroy us all."

"You actually believe that I won't get involved in those bad things?"

"I don't believe in you, but in the royal family. If you get involved, how could Yuan'er marry into the Dongping Palace? She is the royal family's nephew. Yuan'er was engaged first, so she has stains on her body. My boy saved Mu Geer from death, they have already compensated him, and they will not take the position of princess. They are sure that you will not, so they will give this dignity."

"So you always have a fighting head, I don't, I'm lazier than you." Ai Ruo nodded, accepted her statement, thought about it, and sighed softly, "Do you think I should dispense the medicine myself? , just die, so as not to be exhausted?"

"Yes!" Mother Jia nodded immediately.

"If I'm dead, I'll pull you in too. It's no wonder I'll let you influence the master again!" Ai Ruo immediately said viciously.

"I'm almost seventy, what am I afraid of." The old lady is still quite strong.

"You don't expect me to die just because you are alive?"

"A little bit!" The old lady thought about it and nodded seriously. This is the truth. She has lived all these years, and what supports her is not to regain power, but to hope that Ai Ruo will die earlier than herself. It is really irritating.

"Don't worry, I won't." Ai Ruo hummed and jumped up, ready to leave.

"How do you plan to solve it?" Mother Jia hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

"Anyway, I won't commit suicide, and it won't harm my descendants. At least Zhu'er and Yuan'er won't be affected. The saint likes them both very much." Ai Ruo didn't want to tell her that she wasn't worried about her children, but Jia Zheng. .

"Where is Zheng'er?"

"The master will be fine. He never cares about the court. He is a serious scholar who teaches and educates people seriously. If there is any disturbance, he will not be disturbed." Ai Ruo chuckled lightly and took a deep breath. He breathed a sigh of relief, yes, Jia Zheng will be fine, maybe, there are many things, just think it through, but what I am afraid of is that Jia Zheng is afraid of himself because of the poisoning.However, there are advantages and disadvantages, maybe this is a good thing for them, maybe it is better for him to gradually alienate themselves.Although thinking of this, her heart felt like a knife.

Mother Jia didn't speak any more, and slowly closed her eyes to rest. Ai Ruo turned around and glanced at her, and then came over to pull the quilt for her and put down the bed curtain before leaving.After the door was closed and she heard her talking with the servants in the distance, Mother Jia slowly opened her eyes and looked at the top of the tent blankly, no one knew what she was thinking.
