Old things in the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty's concubine is quite decent, but after so many years, not many of them survived.Jia Amnesty himself forgot what the two concubines who gave birth to Jia Yingchun and Jia Cong looked like, even their surnames.

Seeing Jia Amnesty sitting still in his seat, Shi Taijun became angry again, "Go quickly, I don't care about the auspicious and unlucky days now, and I will send the nobleman into the palace in a few days."

At this time, Wang Xifeng was very considerate to make excuses for her father-in-law, and it was the first time in so many years that she spoke for Jia She, "Master, I am afraid that this is a difficult situation. There are two eldest wives, the first one is my serious mother-in-law, and now this The first one is the stepwife. I'm afraid the old man is thinking of putting it under the name of some wife."

Having said that, Shi Taijun stopped urging.

"First Mrs. Zhang, because Hu'er and Mrs. Zhang disappeared one after another, they had a few fights at our house and threatened to have no relatives with us. A few years ago, their old lady passed away, and the family returned to their hometown with the coffin in their hands. This relative has not been in touch for many years. , and I can’t get much power. Besides, the Zhang family’s work is stinking...” Thinking that Jia Lian is his grandson, he didn’t go on, “Xing’s family is born and confused.”

Shi Taijun thought for a long time, "Ms. Zhang is good at everything, but she has a short life, and she is your first wife, so let's record it under her name."Such an advantage is that Mrs. Xing can't take advantage of Jia Yingchun's influence, and the family is still headed by the daughter-in-law of the government. Shi Taijun is afraid that Mrs. Xing will lose face when she goes out to socialize.

Mrs. Zhang is a good woman, and her life is indeed short. If she is still alive, her small family will not be like this, with sons not sons, fathers not fathers.

"My son thought, why not make Yingchun's aunt into the royal family, and put Cong'er under her aunt's name."

Wang Xifeng immediately became unhappy. In this way, Jia Cong's little son will become the son of the son in the future, and the division of the family in the future will definitely be different between the son of the son and the son of the concubine.

But now she has no part to speak.

"With a concubine as a wife, you won't be afraid that people will criticize you. It doesn't matter if you say you don't care, your ancestors will lose all face."

"What am I afraid of? Besides, the ancestors will definitely be willing to know that the Han family has given birth to a nobleman."

I don't know if Yingchun's aunt is surnamed Han, so let's make up a surname first.

"Evil and evil." Shi Taijun clutched his stomach angrily, and the memory of being tortured by Jia She these days emerged in his mind, and ordered to Yuanyang, "Bring all the strong women in the yard."

In a moment, the corridor was full of women.Shi Taijun waved his hand, "Tie up the old man."

Jia She was no match for the wives, and after hiding several times, he was caught by the crowd. First, he was tied up with a belt. Seeing Jia She kept yelling and cursing, Shi Taijun said again, "You bet your mouth, and send him off in a sedan chair." When he goes back, he will tell me what I said, when to send your master into the palace, and when to let him out."

Wang Xifeng watched Jia Amnesty being carried away, and treated the old lady more respectfully, "Where is the family tree?"

"Just write it down under Zhang's name."

"You say it again?" Jia Gu felt that he might have heard it wrong just now, and the boy who often went out with Jia She was kneeling in front of him, crying and said it again, "Master, our elder was tied up by the wives, and now we are locked up. In the room, waiting for your rescue."

Jia Gu took a sip of tea to suppress his shock, "Master, I have never encountered such a useless thing in my life. He is a man after all. How many wives, seventy or eighty?"

"Sixteen."

"Why did your old lady tie him up? What did the elder brother say?" Except for Shi Taijun, it is not appropriate for anyone in the Rongguo Mansion to tie him up.

"I've heard that it was because the old man made a fuss to straighten the aunt who gave birth to a nobleman, and recorded the third master Cong under the name of the aunt, which made the old lady unhappy. So the women in the yard tied up the old lady. The master went to the East Courtyard and closed it."

Jia Gu immediately called Jia Gui to come in, "Find someone to guard the door of Mrs. Qian's house, and Cong'er will come to our house after school, and make a yard in the front yard for him to live in, and get his wet nurse too. Come out, master, I will send my niece back, and my elder brother will pay me a nephew."

What Jia Gu was afraid of was that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion would pinch Jia Cong and Jia She in the ring again. Now Jia She's weakness lies in his children.

Jia Gui nodded and hurried out, Jia Amnesty's servant was still kneeling, "Master, where is our elder?"

"Let him shut up."

The day after Jia Amnesty was locked up, Mrs. Wang recovered from her illness.

"I really can't keep it going any longer. It won't be the Chinese New Year soon, and the favors of each government have to be dealt with. Please show me, the old lady, how much money should be given to the noble concubine this year? How much money should be given to the nobleman?"

Shi Taijun was furious when she asked her. Of course, the anger was not aimed at Mrs. Wang, but at Jia She.I thought to myself that Jia Amnesty had scraped the land all over again, and I still want to give it to the nobleman, what should I give it to?

But this can't be said. A month ago when Taijun Shi knew that Jia Yingchun was entering the palace, he still thought that this granddaughter was promising, but now he wished that she was worthless.

Mrs. Wang and Shi Taijun have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for so long, so she naturally knows her mother-in-law's temperament, so she provoked Shi Taijun's anger with a few words, and she knows how to accept it when she sees it. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and money must be needed.”

Shi Taijun patted Mrs. Wang's hand, "Just do as you said, next year's ceremony will be discussed next year, this year let's do it first."

If the nobleman is not favored... Now the family is not as good as every year. Their brothers marry wives, the girls get married, plus human relations, everything needs money. It is a little bit to save a little. If the nobleman is not favored, naturally it is not necessary. Too much money.

On the evening of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, Shi Taijun was completely angry, "What does Jia Gu mean? Why don't you let him go back?"

Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, took a group of brothers, nephews and nephews to go in person, and Jia Xun sent them back with a few words. The important thing is that tomorrow is the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, the day when the nobles enter the palace early in the morning.

"Could it be that my wife and son are going to welcome her back?" Shi Taijun's face was gloomy, "My lord, I owed these two debt collectors a lot in my previous life, and I still can't pay it off after so many years."

These two debt collectors are Jia She and Jia Gu.

The female relatives in the room began to persuade, and Mrs. Xue comforted, "Maybe Hou Ye hasn't come back yet. These days, the yamen seals pens, and there are many contacts and parties. Hou Ye is a palm-printed book, and there are more people who come and go. After all, you are too young to take on things, why don't you ask the old man to come forward and remind you?"

Shi Taijun took off the veil from his face, and said to Mrs. Xing who was standing aside, "Let that bastard come over and change into better clothes, I have something to say to him."

Seeing Mrs. Xing hurrying away, she told Baoyu softly, "I have invited your father to come, and let the two brothers go to kiss each other. After all, they are noble people, so it is up to their brothers to go."

This is a serious matter, even if Jia Amnesty wanted to talk to the old lady, he knew it was not the time. When he came, Jia Zheng was already waiting, Shi Taijun beat him up, and the two of them rode to Zhongwuhou's mansion .

Hearing the report from the servants, Mrs. Tong hugged Jia Yingchun and burst into tears. Lin Daiyu also wept uncomfortably. Lin Daiyu and Jia Yingchun had known each other for so many years, and they would never see each other easily again. Sister Xuan was also crying.

Jia Yingchun kowtowed farewell to Jia Gu and his wife, and was helped by the mother-in-law into the carriage. Lin Daiyu sat in the carriage with her, and the two of them held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.In the end, it was Jia Yingchun who couldn't help telling, "Sister, take care in the future, study less and eat more. You haven't raised a few taels of meat this year, and you still have to focus on raising your body in the future."

After saying a word, the car arrived at the second gate. Jia Xun asked Lin Daiyu to get off the car outside. The two cousins ​​couldn't help but hugged and cried again. Lin Daiyu was helped out of the car and watched Jia Xuan send the carriage out of the second gate. , I have cried into a tearful man.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng picked up the car, returned to the mansion half an hour later, and took Jia Yingchun to kowtow to Shi Taijun first.

Inside the upper room are all flesh and blood.Shi Taijun was surrounded by Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian. Shi Taijun was crying tears, but Jia Yingchun struggled to squeeze out a few tears.I have to stay with Wuwuwu for a while.Yuanyang helped Jia Yingchun up, starting with Jia She, and said goodbye one by one. Jia She couldn't say a word after a thousand words, and finally only "you are good."

Mrs. Xing said dryly, "Take care".Mrs. Wang said, "Walk around with your elder sister more often. You are young and careless. Usually let your elder sister give you advice. You two sisters should help each other.".Jia Zheng asked to "repay the king's kindness".

The brothers and sisters of the same generation came forward to kowtow to her, and Jia Yingchun quickly helped her up to see if there were no Jia Huan and Jia Cong inside. Someone called him over.

Wang Xifeng helped her to sit in front of Shi Taijun again. Shi Taijun took the time to tell her that it was the same as Mrs. Wang's. It was nothing more than going to the palace to be with the elder sister, to communicate more, and to ask the elder sister for advice when things happened. .Shi Taijun also called Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu to his front, "We are old, and you will rely on each other in the future. You should watch and help each other, and advance together and retreat together."

Jia Yingchun was taught meekly, and she didn't dare to drink the water at home and eat the food at home. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing tried to persuade her again and again, only saying that she couldn't bear it and couldn't swallow it.Shi Taijun called Licorice up again, thanked him for his friendship with the girl, and asked Licorice to tell his family members' names, and he would definitely take care of them in the future.

Although he was kind on the face, Shi Taijun was unhappy in his heart. Originally, he picked out a clever girl from the mansion to replace the licorice, but just now Jia Yingchun pushed her repeatedly, saying that she was used to the company of licorice and was about to enter the palace. At this juncture No matter how many methods Shi Taijun had, he couldn't use them. He could only watch Licorice accompany Jia Yingchun into the carriage.

Before dawn, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng escorted the carriage with his nephew to the gate of Shenwu. Jia Gu followed at the gate and sent the guards and servants to the back of Weiyang Palace. Send Jia Yingchun to Pixiang Hall.

Since then, Jia Yingchun has been one of the women in the deep palace.

Watching Jia Yingchun's carriage enter the palace gate, Jia Zheng was fine, so he rushed to the ministry with his hands clasped. Today is the last day of work, and he will be on holiday from tomorrow.

But Jia She and Jia Gu stared at the carriage for a long time and refused to turn their heads until they could no longer see it, then both of them sighed together.

"This is also her fate. It is inappropriate to find this one, and it is inappropriate to find another one. In the end, it will be fine. After entering the palace, who dares to say that it is not suitable or not suitable?" Jia Gu put his arm around his brother's shoulder, "Today it's time for me Drinking at the bar at home, let alone you, I feel reluctant to raise this for two years, and you must be even more reluctant."

Jia She looked at his younger brother, and decided not to say anything about what was in his heart. In fact, he was not that reluctant. His daughter was there to enjoy the blessings, not to suffer.
