New Dream of Red Mansions

Mother Jia looked at the people in the hall with a frosty face, and said coldly: "I'm getting old now, and I entrust you with all the affairs in the house, who knows that you are becoming more and more careless."

Sister Feng stood down with her head bowed, and she glanced at Daiyu sitting next to Jiamu from the corner of her eye, feeling slightly displeased.

When Jia Mu saw that Sister Feng bowed her head to listen to the training, her mood improved a little, and she said, "Go and investigate this matter with Yuanyang. I'd like to see who else is gossiping in the house. Although your sister Lin lives in our house However, food and clothing are all used by her father and mother, not to mention other things, her mother's dowry back then was not ordinary, but now such heartbreaking words are spread!" Jia Mu Looking at the two little girls below, he said: "Our Rongguo Mansion has always been a kind family, but there is no reason to let the servants mess up the rules. After asking them clearly, they sold these two girls, and sent all their parents and family members to Chuang Tzu go up."

The two little girls felt as if their bones had been whipped and limp on the ground.

Xiyan looked at Daiyu, Daiyu couldn't bear it, she also looked at Xiyan, Xiyan nodded slightly.

Daiyu said to Jia Mu: "Grandmother, there are only girls who buy girls in our house. How can there be girls who sell girls? They are only thirteen or fourteen years old, and they are still young. Why don't you send them to Zhuangzi together with their family members?" Bar."

The two girls looked at Jia Mu eagerly.Although the Jia family is only a mid-level family in the capital, such a family is also a benchmark. If they are kicked out by the Jia family, who else would dare to buy them?

There is only one place to go, even if it is better than that place, it is just an unscrupulous family, then life is really worse than death!

"Old lady, we don't dare anymore, please forgive us!"

Xiyan laughed and said, "Old lady, how many people do they have?"

Mother Jia looked at Sister Feng, and Sister Feng said, "Their mothers are still there. Xiaolu has an older brother, and Xiaoyuan has only one younger brother. Grandparents and grandparents all work in the village, and uncles and aunts are not counted." .”

Xiyan's smile deepened. From this point of view, she actually involved a lot of servants.

"Since that's the case, they didn't let their family be separated. The ancestors also said that our house has always been a kind family. Why don't you invite the two wives to ask them what they mean, so I asked a few words in the small garden. , I feel that these two girls are not just gossiping, but deliberately telling me and sister Lin. I was so anxious that I arrested them, but they didn't ask them who instigated them. They didn't open their mouths. Now If something like this happened in the house, it's up to the two wives to make up their minds."

In front of Mother Jia, she said that she wanted the two wives to make up their minds, and Sister Feng's heart skipped a beat. This cousin of hers is so smart, she just picked them all out and pushed them in front of them.

As soon as Xiyan said it, Jia's mother understood that it wasn't someone from the house gossiping, but someone ordered her to do it.

A cold light flashed in Jia Mu's eyes, and several candidates quickly flashed in her mind, but she couldn't make up her mind who did such a thing, but there were only these few people left and right.Jia Mu suddenly became a little discouraged, and waved: "Go and invite the ladies."

The two girls thought they had just escaped, but unexpectedly such an accident happened again, and they looked at Xiyan with unfriendly eyes.

Mother Jia was furious when she saw it, she patted the handrail and said, "Pull these two low hoofs down and lock them up."

After everyone had left, Mother Jia leaned tiredly on the couch. Daiyu rubbed her forehead worriedly, "Grandmother, I need you to worry again."

Grandmother Jia patted her hand and sighed: "It's my grandmother's fault. I promised your father to take good care of you, but I didn't expect you to be bullied like this." Mother Jia had a cold look in her eyes and said, "Don't worry, Grandma is still alive now, and it's not their turn to make decisions."

Xiyan sighed in her heart. She also heard Dongmei say that there were some gossips in the mansion, but she didn't take it to heart. After all, the story of Daiyu lending money to Jia's family to build the Grand View Garden had been rumored in the mansion for a long time. Yes, but I didn't expect to be washed away by rumors so quickly, and it changed instead.

Although Jia Mu is still the supreme ruler, the rights below have already been divided by others. I am afraid that her control has been greatly reduced now.I don't know how long she can protect them.

There are not many problems with her. In two years, when she is old, she can move out and live with the third grandpa and the others under the pretext of being a relative. It is expected that Wang Ziteng will find no reason to keep her, let alone, At that time, Wang Ziteng should have been promoted too, so he didn't have to be afraid of her appearing and spreading bad words.

Big deal, she asked Brother Yu to appear again and act as uncle and nephew with him.

It's just that Daiyu has some difficulties.

The birth brother is too young, and he will only be ten years old in two or three years. A man must be at least 14 years old to stand out in the family. How can Daiyu wait?

After all, Lin Yuan is just a cousin, and he has a relationship with his son. Even if he wants to take Daiyu out, the Jia family probably won't agree, and there are legitimate reasons.Even if the Lin family came forward, it would be difficult to take Daiyu out of Jia's residence.

Even if Jia's mother didn't trust the people in Jia's house, she probably didn't trust the outsiders even more.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing will arrive soon.Mrs. Wang was a little startled when she heard Sister Feng tell the whole story, so she was unavoidably apprehensive when she came here.

Seeing Daiyu and Xiyan sitting next to Jiamu, I couldn't help feeling annoyed. Why did such a trivial matter come to Jiamu?It can be seen that the government treats them too much, and they take themselves too seriously.

If Daiyu was alone, she wouldn't make a fuss, at most she was wronged and shed tears. Pian Xiyan has a violent temper, so she couldn't stand what she said, so she rushed out.

Xiyan has always been a person who is not afraid of making trouble, and now she is not afraid to sit beside Jiamu.

What happened next is beyond the knowledge of her and Daiyu. Mother Jia patted Daiyu's hand and said, "You go back first. I will tell you about this matter, and I will tell you when it is settled." .”

Daiyu nodded, and Xiyan saluted and bid farewell to the two wives.

Mother Jia looked at the two daughters-in-law inquiringly, and said lightly on her face, "Since this rumor is instigated by someone behind us, then we have to find out, otherwise, wouldn't it be cold to the Lin family's heart? You must know that our family still owes the Lin family How many 10 taels of silver?"

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed slightly, while Mrs. Xing looked at Mrs. Wang gloatingly, and replied: "What the old lady said is that this matter should be strictly investigated."

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "Let Yuanyang and Sister Feng investigate this matter together, and you should also look at it." She said with a warning look at Wang.

Sister Feng laughed and went back to her room, her face immediately turned cold, and Ping'er persuaded: "I think it's better to let this matter go. If it really makes a fuss, it's still not a good look at the house."

"You think I don't know? It's just that this matter is now in front of the old lady, and the old lady is angry. I don't dare to touch this bad luck."

Ping'er worried: "It's just how the wife will deal with it?"

Sister Feng frowned, "That's what I'm worried about. You and I both know who wrote this matter, but you can't touch the old lady, otherwise it will be difficult for the palace to explain." Sister Feng rolled her eyes and listened. He whispered: "You find a way to meet those two little girls and ask them to push the matter out. Just say whoever instigated it, and it's over. The last time Zhou Rui's family sent Miss Lin the cloth that was distributed. I said a few more words..."

Ping Er hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's the person in front of Madam, I'm afraid Madam won't let it go, why don't we ask the two little girls to recognize it, and we'll just subsidize them more."

"You think I don't want to?" Sister Feng threw her hands and said, "It's just that the two girls showed their true self as soon as they met each other, so Xiyan caught them. They were pulled out in front of the old lady just now, and now the old lady is gone. I have confirmed that there is someone instigating behind it."

Ping'er sighed: "No wonder the old lady is involved. It's not uncommon in the past, but Miss Lin didn't say anything, she was just bored in her heart."

Sister Feng was thoughtful, and said: "It seems that my sister is really not simple, and she caused trouble in our house all at once."

Ping'er laughed and said, "Grandma, don't say that, Miss Yan and Miss Lin are on good terms, so you might get angry when you hear this."

It's just that Sister Feng has already determined that Xiyan is hiding an adulterer in this matter.

After all, Mrs. Wang was unwilling to abandon Zhou Rui's family, so she had to push out another manager. That person was also Mrs. Wang's dowry, and he was just in charge of the garden. It was because Miss Lin and Miss Yan used more flowers than others. I just said a few more words, but the two little girls listened to it. The two girls wanted to find a good job, and they agreed to please her, so they talked nonsense on their own.

When Jia Mu heard such a reply, she was so angry that she didn't eat all night. She only went to find Mrs. Wang the next day. Guessing lantern riddles is a popular fashion in the palace, and the empress will inevitably think of home, so I asked the younger ones to send some to the old lady, and asked some girls and young masters to guess and send them in for the empress to see." The little eunuch took out two lanterns by himself. , said: "These two lanterns are novelty, the empress said that they are suitable for Miss Lin and Miss Yan, and asked the younger one to give them out specially, only for Miss Lin and Miss Yan to play with, don't be disgusted."

Daiyu and Xiyan looked at each other, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank and took it.Daiyu glanced at Jiamu, then at Mrs. Wang, and immediately understood.

Xiyan also knew that the incident in the small garden the day before yesterday had just been revealed.

Jia Mu's expression was slightly cold, but she still smiled and said, "Be more empresses think about them, and ask Baoyu to thank you later." .

Mother Jia turned around and said to Sister Feng and others, "I'm tired too. You don't have to wait any longer. You all go back." Then she said to Daiyu and Xiyan, "Come here and massage my wife's head. It hurts so much these days. sharp."

Daiyu hurriedly handed over the lantern to Zijuan, and stepped forward to support Jiamu.Xiyan also gave the lantern to Dongmei and followed quickly.

Mother Jia told Yuanyang and others to retreat, patted Daiyu's hand and said, "You're a smart kid, you can guess it more or less, and grandma won't hide it from you, I'm afraid you will be wronged this time."

Daiyu said indifferently: "As long as grandma is doing well, Yu'er will not be wronged."

"Good boy!" Mother Jia looked at Xiyan and sighed, "You are also a good boy. Your sister Lin is soft-hearted and simple-minded. I need you to help her more in the future."

Xiyan laughed and said, "We live together, so naturally we have to watch over and help each other."

Jia Mu nodded, "I can't help the people behind the scenes, but I can still be the master of these daring servants!" At the end of the speech, she was secretly ruthless.

Daiyu and Xiyan left, but turned back to Jiamu after returning to the house, Jiamu was a little surprised, Daiyu said: "Grandmother, sister Yan and I both live in the house, why they can only arrange me alone? "

Mother Jia was silent.

Daiyu said: "At the end of the day, it's just that my food and clothing expenses are indeed paid by the family, but the expenses of Sister Yan and Brother You will be sent in together at the beginning of spring, and everyone can see that. of."

Jiamu's eyes lit up, and she sat up slightly, "You want to run the family business yourself?" After speaking, she frowned, "You are a daughter of a boudoir, where can you do these things? No, no."

Daiyu smiled and said: "I didn't say I would take care of it, but I can rent out two shops like Sister Yan, and just send in the rent every year. Although it's a bit of a loss, it can save a lot of gossip anyway."

Mother Jia nodded, "Your father does have a few shops in the capital, and you can choose two sections to rent out, and you can earn more than 1000 taels a year. So I think what they say, but don't publicize it. Lest your uncle feel uncomfortable."

Daiyu nodded.

Jiamu took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "I have grown up after all." After thinking for a while, she said, "Then what do you think should be done with those two girls?"

Daiyu hesitated to speak, although she hated those two people who gossip and trampled her, but the crime is not limited to this, she is not a young lady who doesn't understand anything, if she is really going to be sold out, what will happen to those two people?He hesitated and said, "Grandma, why don't you send both of these two families to me."

Mother Jia was surprised.

Daiyu said: "I will send them back to the Lin family's Zhuangzi, and let them atone for their sins in the Zhuangzi."

Mother Jia's heart moved, she was silent for a while, and said: "Grandmother has a better way."

Daiyu looked at Jia Mu suspiciously.

Mother Jia chuckled and said, "In those days, two of your mother's dowries were from the capital, so your mother's dowry was naturally yours, and this has nothing to do with having a brother. Since Zhuangzi is in my care, why not send them to those two Zhuangzi, so as not to have to travel far and waste money."

The most important thing is to leave a nail in that person's heart. Do you think I can't do anything if your daughter suppresses me?

Mother Jia looked at Daiyu with satisfaction. Although the child was kind-hearted, it finally made her think of such a good idea.

Mother Jia asked Daiyu to go back first, and when Sister Feng came to ask the two little girls how to deal with it the next day, Mother Jia said: "Go and find out the deed of sale of their two families."
