The Story of My Aunt in the Red Chamber

Chapter 20 Prince Teng vs Jia Shishi

The 15th Lantern Festival was lively and lively. Originally, Mrs. Jia also posted a post that day, inviting Lin Ruhai's family and Wang Zimeng's family to go to Jia's mansion for the festival, but Wang Zimeng made excuses to push it away.

After the Chinese New Year, the Holy Majesty called Lin Ruhai into the palace again. No one knew what the two discussed in the Palace of Qinzheng. Lin Ruhai didn't come out of the palace until the moment before the curfew in the palace, and returned with his family's money the next day. In Yangzhou, there was no opportunity for people to inquire.

In fact, Wang Zimeng vaguely guessed something, but Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, so she just pretended not to know.

When entering Beijing, there were more than a dozen large ships, but when returning to Yangzhou, only Lin Ruhai and Daiyu went back.

Wang Ziteng agreed to the marriage between Lin Ruhai and Wang Zimeng, so Wang Zimeng couldn't follow Lin Ruhai back to Yangzhou like this, it would be too cheap.It is also for this reason that now Wang Zimeng has moved out of Lin's mansion and lives in the home of his elder brother Wang Ziteng.

As for the rest of Xue's house in Jinling, under the coercion and lure of Wang Zimeng who gave up some of the shops and properties in Jinling and the people sent by Wang Ziteng, they also turned a blind eye to Wang Zimeng's remarriage.After all, Wang Ziteng promised that if Xue Pan would not change his surname, he would still be the eldest son of the Xue family and the head of the Xue family, and his uncle would give convenience to the Xue family in other places.

The matter of Wang Zimeng's remarriage was not widely publicized, and everyone in the Jia family only thought that Wang Zimeng followed Lin Ruhai back to Yangzhou.It wasn't until Lin Ruhai's dowry arrived at the palace and there was a commotion in the capital that Mrs. Jia didn't know that Lin Ruhai was going to remarry, and he was marrying the widow Wang Zimeng.

Although he knew that Lin Ruhai would not be a man for his wife, Lin Ruhai had never shown any intention of remarrying. Therefore, Mrs. Jia kept marrying Lin Daiyu with the intention of taking over all the property of the Lin family.Even though the meeting was a little unpleasant a few times, she had no intention of changing her mind.This time, it was a solid slap in the face for her.

Therefore, after hearing the news, Mrs. Jia took Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng to the palace the next day.But Wang Shishi, who had been sending people to watch the movements of the Jia family, knew about it, and immediately asked someone to invite the prince who was outside to come back.

When the prince hurried back to the palace, Wang Shishi welcomed Mrs. Jia and his party into the flower hall.

"I don't know that the old lady came to visit, but she never greeted her from far away. The old lady made atonement." As soon as Wang Ziteng entered the flower hall, he saw the old lady sitting at the top drinking tea, Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng standing on the side, accompanied by his wife. Sitting on the side, his face was a little stiff.

Putting the teacup on the table, "Nephew of the Wang family, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace if you have nothing to do. I came today to ask you, is it true that your eldest sister, Madam Xue, is going to marry Lin Ruhai? "

"Old Madam, that's not a rumor. It's true. I've already agreed to the marriage, and the Lin family's dowry has arrived." Wang Ziteng seemed to have not heard Jia Mu's questioning, his tone was flat, even with a touch of joy .

"Confused, you are not only the person in charge of the Wang family, but also her eldest brother, Wang Zimeng, you are also the eldest brother of Zheng's daughter-in-law, and the second uncle of Lian's second daughter-in-law! If you do this, where will the Wang family's face be? Where is the face of my Jia family!" Jia Mu was so angry that she threw the teacup on the table to the ground, and the crisp sound hit everyone's heart.

Wang Ziteng acted as if he hadn't heard the sound, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly, "Mr. Jia, I think this is the palace of the prince, not the Rongguo mansion where you can dominate."

Mother Jia didn't speak, she just squinted at Mrs. Wang who was standing on the side. Mrs. Wang understood and stood up, "Brother, how can you talk to the old lady like that!"

"Oh, then you have the attitude of talking to your brother! The old lady Jia is the old lady of your Jia mansion, not the old lady of my palace. If you call the old lady, it means I respect the old man, but this is not the old lady. On behalf of Mrs. Jia, you can meddle in the affairs of my Wang family at will." Wang Ziteng is still drinking tea slowly, but everyone knows that the first half of the sentence is about Mrs. Wang, and the second half is for Mrs. Jia. You listened.

Jia Mu was so angry that her hands trembled and she gasped for breath. Wang Xifeng stepped forward, patting her chest and stroking her back, but she didn't meet Jia Mu's eyes.Waving Wang Xifeng away, Mother Jia turned to the prince and said, "I don't care about your Wang family's affairs, but Lin Ruhai is the son-in-law of my Jia family after all, and I always have to intervene in his marriage. My poor granddaughter, I don't know either." How are you going to live from now on!"

"Old Mrs. Jia, obey your husband at home, obey your husband when you get married, and obey your son when your husband dies. You know these three obediences and four virtues. Miss Lin has her father around, how can she be wronged! Besides, my eldest sister's marriage, I this Elder brother agrees, her son agrees, even members of the Xue family agree, what's your opinion!"

Although Wang Ziteng's tone was light, it sounded harsh to Jia Mu's ears. It's her fault for meddling in her own business!If it wasn't for Lin Ruhai that Wang Zimeng wanted to marry, she wouldn't care about it. No one would be envious of the Lin family's million-dollar fortune.

"But uncle, when a woman's husband dies, shouldn't it be good to be as chaste as Zhu'er's daughter-in-law!" Wang Xifeng said, unable to withstand Jia Mu's increasingly fierce eyes.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ziteng didn't open his mouth this time. Wang Shishi saw that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, so he had to say, "Niece, you misunderstood, Xiangzhu's daughter-in-law is so chaste, and most of them are things that literati would do." , I don’t think our family of military generals is so particular about it. For this marriage, it’s fine if you like me.”

"But auntie, auntie remarried like this, how do you let me go out in the future, our eldest sister is still young, how can we marry in the future!" Wang Xifeng began to cry as she spoke, and even Mrs. Wang touched her. Tears, as if empathy.

"Why are you crying? Isn't it just remarriage? It's not a big deal. There are so many people who remarry. Don't tell me others are living a life! How come you are going to die. It's not you who are going to be widows, you just have to Tell me, women have to observe festivals, why don't you think about how your sisters and aunts will live in the future!" Wang Ziteng became a little angry.

He was going out to deal with some things today, but was called back to talk to a few people, even if the person was his own sister and niece, he felt a little unhappy.What's more, the implication of these words is that Zimeng's marriage affects their interests, so they should not remarry, and they will be widowed for a lifetime.This person is already close, and he is close to Zimeng, and he even thinks that the two children of Xue's family are good, so naturally he doesn't want them to be wronged.

He is optimistic about the marriage of Wang Lin's family.Leaving aside the Lin family's five generations of princes and scholarly family, Lin Ruhai is the confidant of the Holy One. He was a junior in high school, and then sat in the seat of inspecting the salt censor for several years. He is a very talented person in himself.

Back then, Duke Rong Jia Daishan acted first, but it was a pity that Jia Min was a poor man, leaving only one daughter behind and passed away like this.He knew Jia's mother's plan, which was to let Lin Daiyu marry the Lin family's property to the Jia family, and he didn't want to see whether the Jia family's phoenix eggs were compatible.It's a pity that he's messing around with him now. Once Zimeng gives birth to the heir of the Lin family, no matter how much Lin Ruhai loves her daughter, she won't hand over all the property of the Lin family to her.

Seeing that Wang Ziteng was silent, Jia's mother had no choice but to take Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng back home.

The author has something to say: Wang Ziteng fought against Mrs. Jia, Wang Ziteng won the game, everyone applauded. . .
