Old things in the Red Chamber

Years later, one spring afternoon.The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei received a greeting card.The signature on the post is rather strange, usually the name of a man is left on the greeting post, only this greeting post says Shao's daughter.

The people in the family didn't dare to hide it, so they quickly sent this post to the backyard. The two hostesses in the backyard were also confused about this. female.Only by calling the men in the family back and asking them carefully can they decide how to deal with this post.

After everyone in the family came back at night, this post was passed from this person to that person.

Jia Gu said to his son at that time, "Don't worry about this matter. Since I ordered it, let me take care of this matter."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Mrs. Tong didn't ask any more questions.But I was really curious in my heart. On the day when others visited, I deliberately asked people to pay attention to the relationship between the person who came to visit and my master, and asked people to eavesdrop on what they said behind their backs.

On the day when Jia Xichun came, he not only came by himself, but also brought his children and her husband.

Her husband is also just a small official. After a few years, he was transferred to the capital with the power of his natal family. At the beginning, he didn't believe in himself. Come on, a pair of eyes are shining, wishing to confess his daughter-in-law.

After Jia Xichun entered, he took the children and kowtowed respectfully to Jia Gu. Now that Jia Gu is getting older, he likes the children very much. He asked them to help them up with a smile, and gave them a greeting gift. People take it to the backyard to play.

"I just arrived in the capital for a few days. I originally thought that I would come to greet you as soon as I arrived in the capital, but who knew that living in the capital is not easy. We have been looking for a house for several days before we settled down. So we postponed today, today There is something I want to ask of you, my son."

Jia Xichun's husband, when he heard his daughter-in-law say this, quickly looked at his father-in-law's face secretly, and he couldn't help secretly worrying, complaining that his wife had no winks, and she would ask for help as soon as she came to the door. Besides, the family also prepared gifts. Don't hurry up and present the presents, saying that there is no offense to people.

"I just like those children who don't see each other with me, but if there is anything difficult to do, as long as you tell me, I will do it naturally."

"It's really hard to say," she deliberately didn't look at her husband's face, and said slowly, "A few years ago, I met a couple outside Jinling City. They were both dying of illness, and they cried to me They said they were begging everywhere, and spent all their savings at home. I saw that the two of them were pitiful, so I asked someone to buy them and take them home. I originally wanted to save someone’s life and win the construction of a seven-level pagoda. Seeing the two of them fall by the side of the road made me feel unbearable, and it was just to make myself feel better. But who knows that these two people are not lucky, they struggled for two years, left a girl behind, and finally both died."

Speaking of this, her husband's face became even more ugly. Jia Xichun didn't want to pay attention to it at all, and then continued to say, "This girl grew up under my nose. Although she is a slave, she eats with my girl. Live, I watched her grow up, treating her no differently than the girl who took care of her. Now she is very beautiful, and I have read a few books in my stomach since I was a child. I think I can’t bury her, but After all, she is a slave, and I beg you this time just to get her out of citizenship."

This incident itself is a very small matter, but he brought it here to talk about it, and it can only explain two problems. First, he has no way to get this girl out of her status as a slave. It should be her husband.Second, her current natal Shao family does not support it. If her husband disagrees, then as long as her natal family is willing to take action, this matter can be done to some extent, but he is currently unable to do this by himself. It can show that he has no way to go through these two paths.

Then again, who is this girl is worthy of Jia Xichun's so much effort to find him? Jia Gu figured out the key point. The girl's parents were rescued by Jia Xichun, and he specifically emphasized that they were a couple. I am dying of illness, I heard that the person Jia Tanchun married was a sick child...

This can explain clearly why Jia Xichun cares so much about this girl.

Put the teacup on the table, "I thought it was something worth talking about, and this matter is easy to handle. Don't worry, it will be done for you in a while."

"Thank you very much," Jia Xichun stood up, "I am going to visit my wife in the backyard, let my niece take my leave first, and see you later."

Jia Gu nodded, leaving Jia Xichun's husband talking in front of his eyes.

"Where are you from, did you marry Mrs. Zun under the introduction of He Ren?"

"Xiaguan's father is the magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River. Xiaguan has a scientific name since he was a child..." He was proud when he said that he had a scientific name. Jia Shishi knew a little about Jia Xichun's marriage. That's right, I didn't check in the city. Who knew it was such a guy? I heard that he was an official fan. According to the information I found in the past two days, this guy put his idea on his wife's dowry in order to run an official. As a result, the couple The two broke up because of this.Now two people are living in the same bed and different dreams.

"Old Shao and I were colleagues many years ago, and his girl is no different from my family's girl. Don't think my words are harsh. If you let me know that you bullied my niece, hehe!"

"Dare not dare" quickly stood up, with some careful ingratiation, "I don't know that Mr. Yuezhang has such a deep friendship with you. If he knew, he must have personally posted a few days ago."

The other party was originally an official fan, but now that he knows a way to reach the sky, he naturally can't wait to come over. Jia Gu has hated such people these years. If it were a few years earlier, he would definitely show his displeasure on his face, but Sometimes he just smiled and didn't speak.In his opinion, Jia Xichun's face will be taken care of by himself, and even the face of Jia Xichun's son and daughter will be given a point or two after consideration. This is a kind of incense.As for this person, don't even think about getting a little bit of benefit from yourself.

Jia Xichun came back from the backyard very quickly, and brought his children with him when he came back.When they left, they deliberately pushed a bright girl out.

"You don't have to go back with us today, just live here first."

The girl who was pushed out immediately widened her eyes, with tears in her eyes, and wanted to leave with their family pitifully.It can be seen that Jia Xichun's children have a good relationship with this girl. After hearing this, his two children pulled his clothes left and right, trying to make their mother take back her life.

Jia Xichun took a step forward and rubbed the girl's back, "Don't worry, it's like coming home here, do you remember what I told you last night?"

The girl's tears were like broken beads, and she nodded firmly.

Here, Jia Xichun and his family of four left the Duke's mansion and got into the carriage.Her husband abandoned Cheng Ma, and squeezed into the carriage with his wife and children, complaining that his wife had made her own opinions.

"You too, if you want to give the Pearl to the Duke, you should tell me about it. Now that you have raised her for more than ten years, and you see that she has become a big girl, you gave her away. In the past few years, you have not seen her." Did you raise her for nothing?"

His daughter couldn't help rebutting him, "Mingzhu is a person, not a cat or a dog, don't think we don't know that you want to give her away, and you are still a 50-[-]-year-old old man."

"Hey, you girl, why are you talking to Father Wei?" She also blamed her wife for not being able to raise the children, "If you dare to talk back to me at home, if you go out, you will throw away our family. "

Jia Xichun didn't answer his words, but told him calmly, "Since you asked me to come to the capital with you, I will come too. I will pack up my things in two days and take the children back to my hometown."

"What are you doing back home?"

"My mother-in-law is getting old, didn't she say that she wants me to go back to serve her? Now I have nothing to do in the capital, so I can go back and serve her old man."

If it was yesterday, this person would definitely agree with his wife. After all, my mother came here several times and complained about her daughter-in-law's disobedience. But today's visit to Wei Guogong went so smoothly, which made him re-evaluate his wife's energy.

"Let's talk about this matter again. There is no shortage of maids in my mother's place. Besides, you have been served by others for so many years, so how do you know how to serve others? It's just that it is difficult to enter the Weiguo Duke's house, and our family still needs to maintain it properly." The relationship between the two."

Speaking of this place, he couldn't help getting excited, rubbing his hands in the carriage, his face turned red. "I thought you were the wife who could see the backyard. I didn't expect you to see the Lord. It seems that you and the old man still know each other. If someone like him hasn't met for a few years, he may not remember what the other person looks like, but You haven't seen him for decades. After seeing him again, he not only knows your name and name, but also knows your relationship with him. This shows that the relationship between the father-in-law and the old man is really unusual. He also has a lot of face in front of him. We should seize the opportunity."

Seeing that his wife's face was not moved by him, he had no choice but to gently remind, "Our son is also getting older, so we should pave the way for him early."

The house their family was looking for in the capital was a very spacious house, not far from the place where the princes and nobles gathered. With just a few words, the carriage returned to their home.The two children scrambled to jump out of the carriage, not wanting to be in the same room as their father.

As a husband, after talking so much just now, I didn’t see my wife nodding, and my face felt dull, especially in front of the children. I felt that my wife looked down on me, so I flicked my sleeves fiercely, and went to those aunts to talk. The room spoke.

Jia Xichun didn't take it seriously at all, and brought his two children back to his main courtyard, while his son asked, "Mom, when are we going back to our hometown?"

Jia Xichun smiled and patted his son's head, "What are you stupid boy doing back home? Back home, your grandmother will rub our mothers. It's a good time to stay here. Even if you go to other places as an official in the future, we I will not leave Jincheng either."

"why?"

"Because your mother's roots are here, and all the people your mother can rely on are here, and you two can be raised by relying on them. Why should we go back to our hometown to see your grandmother's face?"

While the mother and son were talking, Duke Wei's return gift was immediately sent to the mansion.After a long time, when it was just dark, Cheng Engong Jia She also sent someone to come here to present a gift. The commonality of these two families is that the people in the family hand over things to Jia Xichun's son, completely Don't look at the host's face.

This made her husband even more angry and didn't know what to do. Before he understood why Cheng Engong gave gifts to his home, the Ministry of Officials issued a new appointment notice to send him to Jiangnan as the magistrate.

Staying in the capital is only a second in command. If he is released as an official, he will be an important member of one party. If he doesn't go, he doesn't need to be elected.After happily packing his luggage, he found out that his wife and the children born to her were unwilling to go with him, but this didn't seem to matter much to him. Without his wife, there would still be concubines and concubines.

On the second day after her husband left, Jia Xichun took her two children to thank Jia Gu again.He expressed his doubts to his face, "Letting him go to the south of the Yangtze River may not be a good official... What should we do if he imposes excessive taxes or carelessly ignores human life?"

Jia Xuan just smiled slightly, "It's okay, it's enough for the government order not to come out of the government office."
