The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

Jia Zhu has no official position, and according to the etiquette, funerals should not be taken seriously. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang insisted on exceeding the etiquette.

Not to mention a few prince's mansions, even the other Duke's mansions in similar circumstances, most of them just sent housekeepers and servants to pay homage.Only Li Guogong's family, seeing that the second master of his family was working under Jia Zhu's uncle Wang Ziteng, sent a young master of the same generation to pay homage.The one with the most contacts is Mrs. Wang's natal sister-in-law and nephew.Wang Ziteng, the mainstay of the Wang family, was said to be busy with official duties, so he only came to offer a stick of incense, and left without drinking tea.

Everyone in the Jia clan said that the second wife of Zheng's natal family was tough and would make faces for her, but Mrs. Wang was disgusted by her brother and sister-in-law.A night watchwoman in Jia Lian's yard also happened to be stealing cards with an old sister when she heard people whispering, saying that the wife turned green with anger in Rongxi Hall, complaining that her mother's family didn't have many of them in their hearts, Come to worship and still wear such bright colors.

Hearing the woman's upside-down jokes and asking for credit, Jia Lian really recalled how the members of the Wang family dressed when they went to the mansion. It was Wang'er who said a few words before he vaguely remembered that Wang Ziteng and Wang Ren's father and son seemed to be paired with sandalwood bases. child's belt.If it's not solemn enough, I can barely talk about it, but it's quite funny for Mrs. Wang to say it. It's really a Zhangba lampstand, and it can shine on others but not on yourself.

On the day when the coffin was moved out of the city, because no one set up a road sacrifice, the big and small masters of Rongguo Mansion, together with Grandma Zhen Youshi from Ning Mansion who came to help, arrived at the family temple outside the city within half a day.

Jia Mu was old, sad and tired, and she couldn't stand when she got off the carriage. She was directly supported by the girls and women into the soft sedan chair and sent to the furnished yard.She wanted to stay with Jia Zhu again after a little bit of a turn, but Nanny Lai, who was accompanying her, hurriedly sent a little girl to deliver a letter to Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, and Jia Zheng led Jia Baoyu to stop her.

With Jia Baoyu snuggling in his arms obediently, and Jia Zheng earnestly persuading him, saying that Zhu'er is such a filial and friendly child, if he knows that he is tired of the old ancestors who have always loved their sisters and brothers the most, it will be a blessing in disguise. There was no peace at all, so Mother Jia responded slowly, and took Baoyu to rest for an afternoon.

When their grandparents and grandchildren groomed again in the evening, and the affairs in the main hall had been taken care of, Mrs. Wang and Li Wan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law both passed out from crying in front of Jia Zhu's coffin. After persuading Daila to invite him out, even Jia She and Jia Lian's father and son couldn't help sighing.

It's just that the father and son of Dafang were still sighing in their hearts, and when Jia Zheng locked himself in the study outside without seeing anyone, Mrs. Wang took Jia Baoyu back to Wang's house with a haggard face.Mrs. Wang's mother and son went out, and within two hours there were rumors in the mansion that the second master of the Wang family was afraid that his wife would not rely on him, so he had already found a famous teacher for the second master Bao, so that he would shine in the family and benefit his family in the future.Yingyingzhuo's, someone even talked about Jia Lian, saying that this person dared not give it a try after all the glory with Master Zhu, and now he couldn't even touch Li Daru's door.It's nothing more than praising one and stepping on the other, planning to blow out another champion.

The people around him blushed with anger, but Jia Lian, who was recuperating in the house after a funeral, didn't care at all.If something else happened to coincide with Jia Zhu's early death, even if Mrs. Wang's request was inappropriate, Wang Ziteng might have softened her heart for a while, but it was absolutely impossible for Jia Baoyu to go to school.

In the previous life, the Wang family was firstly unwilling to betroth a girl of the right age to Jia Baoyu, and secondly, they were unwilling to be a matchmaker for Jia Baoyu and the daughter of a wealthy family. They had many unhappiness with Mrs. Wang in private, just because Mrs. Wang always picks her up. The opportunity to speak when returning to Wang's house as a guest did not spread, and Jia Lian only found out when Wang Xifeng mentioned it in private.Wang Xifeng had a weird smile at the time, and only said that Wang Ziteng had something to say, and that being a wealthy and idle person was also a blessing.

At that time, Jia Lian was only concerned about whether Jia Baoyu would compete with him for the title, so he took this as a reassurance. Looking back, what Wang Ziteng meant was more than a mere descended and inherited title.Born with auspiciousness, I am afraid that apart from Jia Zheng and his wife, few people look forward to Jia Baoyu's progress and eagerness to learn.

Jia Lian didn't quite remember whether Mrs. Wang went back to Wang's house in her previous life to ask Wang Ziteng to invite a famous teacher for Jia Baoyu, but Wang Ziteng would not agree.For Jia Zhu and Jia Baoyu, the attitude of the Wang family is completely different.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang returned home at night, and the Wang family came back with a whole load of gifts. Staying with Jia Baoyu for a short time gave Mrs. Wang a lot of face, but gradually no one mentioned Jia Baoyu's talk of worshiping a great Confucian as his teacher.In the end, it was one of Jia Zheng's disciples who recommended his fellow countryman, who was from a family background and was quite capable, and was solemnly invited back to the mansion by Jia Zheng.

That Juzi's surname was Shi. At the beginning, because of this surname, Jia's mother was very attracted to Jia's mother, so that Jia's mother opened her own private house, bought Shi Juzi's four high-quality study treasures, and sent a clever girl to serve her.Unexpectedly, in less than twenty days, Shi Juzi slapped Jia Baoyu a few times for refusing to do his homework, and offended Jiamu to death.

In the room, Jia's mother didn't care how Jia Zheng begged and persuaded, she just hugged Jia Baoyu, who had a swollen hand, cried her heart and soul, and scolded Shi Juzi's empty stomach for misleading his children, but she only used the child to show off her prestige. Therefore, Jia Zheng must drive Shi Juzi out immediately, and then find a good one to come back and teach Jia Baoyu.

Jia Zheng was one head and two elders, and he couldn't say that Jia Baoyu's temperament was not good enough in front of Jia Mu, nor could he scold his bad son in front of Jia Mu, who only talked back and forth with the words of the sage, and refused to let go of others. .But Shi Juzi was also a lofty scholar, even if he bent his waist for five buckets of rice now, he would definitely not be slandered by an ignorant woman like this.There was no need for Jia Zheng to invite him, he himself sent the servants assigned by the mansion to resign, took Jia Zheng's money to make amends, and went back to his hometown, swearing that he would be named on the gold list in the future, so as not to be punished by others Seeing insults so clearly.

After Shi Juzi, Jia Zheng invited two gentlemen to come back one after another, and they all resolutely resigned from the library under Jia's mother's reprimand.Jia Zheng also tried to persuade him, but Jia's mother seemed to believe that Jia Zhu died young because of studying too hard and wasting his hard work. Jia Baoyu was absolutely not allowed to follow in the same footsteps. The elderly Mr. Enlightenment who was away came back and taught Jia Baoyu every few days, which was better than nothing.

Jia Baoyu is talented and intelligent, so wasting time like this is not much inferior to Jia Zhu's back then. Mrs. Wang couldn't help but feel even more fiery in her heart, and she hated her only darling for being delayed like this. She had to pack up and go back to her natal family to persuade her Elder brother Wang Ziteng.It just so happened that Wang Ziteng had recently squeezed out his opponent and got an errand in Gyeonggi Daying, so he turned his head and left the city without even touching Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's expectations were once again in vain, and she was naturally annoyed, but the prince Teng was promoted to a noble, and it was her honor to rely on, so she swallowed this breath, and enjoyed the flattery of her in-laws and servants inside and outside the house with peace of mind.

Everyone went to support the second room, so Jia Lian was naturally left out in the cold. Only Jia Lian knew that Wang Ziteng's promotion this time was promoted by the sixth prince Yang Yuan, and he could barely be regarded as half of his own. A little pity was born, and I felt ridiculous when I came back to my senses.

At the end of February and the beginning of March, Jia Lian was looking at the letter from Yangzhou, touching his nose to read the long sermon written by his aunt Jia Min, who quoted scriptures and classics because of the generous gift he gave to Sister Lin. The two collided with Xing'er, whooped twice, causing the whole yard to point and laugh.

Jia Lian also smiled meaningfully, and finally let the blushing Tweety speak first.Tweety saluted with support, and then told Grandma Zhu that Grandma Zhu had activated, and Mama Lai and Mama Zhou, who were beside the old lady, both rushed over with people, and the old lady would also sit in a sedan chair to watch over soon. with.

Before Cui'er finished speaking, Xing'er stomped her feet anxiously: "How good this is, what a coincidence! The master just sent word that the Minister of the Ministry of War has secured a good match for the second master, and now we have to change it." I'm going to ask the old lady for the clothes!"
