Old things in the Red Chamber

Jia Lian scolded Wang Xifeng at home at the moment.

"Don't stop me. The Grand Master has a lot of private houses. Even if Jia Cong shares them with me in the future, it will be better than entering the wife's private treasury."

Wang Xifeng's face is drawn very long now, and she complains in her heart that Mrs. Wang is not righteous. She usually speaks well, but now she finally leaked the fox's tail.What did you say that you treat yourself the same as Empress Baoyu, bah, getting the master's private house is tantamount to scraping flesh from yourself.

But looking at her husband's distraught look, she had to pretend to be another. "How many private houses does the old man have, and they are only those left by the wife of the previous country. They are all old things of many people, and no one wants them even if they are free. What's the matter? My heart is distressed. We have never seen anything in the Wang family. , and still look at those rags."

Jia Lian patted the table, "Your Wang's family, your Wang's family, now you are in the Jia's family, the title of Grand Master is gone, I..."

"A title the size of a sesame seed is also worthy of your concern. Uncle Gonghou, there is only a first-class general left in front of the old man. Look all over the capital, who has the ability." Seeing that Jia Lian was still angry, he was busy coaxing He said, "As long as we are still in charge of the house, there is still money to be made in this mansion. It is better for the county magistrate to take care of it now. In the future, you will still be in charge of the house."

"Hmph, a butler, what kind of family do you become?"

Wang Xifeng's eyeballs rolled around, and Ping'er immediately went out of the room. Wang Xifeng lay on Jia Lian's ear, "How the second master stole the eldest master's family business, how can the second master steal Baoyu's family business."

Jia Lian thought this idea was really good, and then thought about it, "But there is a noble concubine watching from above?"

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes at him, "Does Second Master have no sisters in the palace?"

Jia Lian only felt full of energy, and wandered around the room twice, "Now I'll go to the old man for a walk, just now I heard those servants grinding their teeth idle, saying that the old man vomited blood angrily, you find a chance to beat him." Once they come back, the things that don’t have nothing are changed by them. You go to bed first, and I’ll go to the courtyard on the east side.”

Wang Xifeng leaned on the pillow, "The second master went out from the side door, and now the elder has committed a leftist act and blocked the door to the east courtyard."

When Shi Taijun went to the room, Shi Taijun threw a tea bowl in front of Mrs. Wang. There was no one else in the room except Jia Zheng and his wife and Shi Taijun.

Jia Zheng saw that the old lady was angry. Today's backhand is the idea of ​​the old lady. Now Jia Zheng is so grateful that he can't express it. Seeing the old lady staring at Wang angrily, smashing the tea bowl again, she knelt down. When he knelt down, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to sit down, and knelt down to avoid the tiles on the ground.

"Why is the old lady angry?"

"Ask your daughter-in-law, she said to check the belongings of Zanyue, and asked the companion to evacuate the east side."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was actually quite happy, but in order to appease his old lady, he felt that she felt sorry for Jia She at the moment, so he scolded Mrs. Wang, "Mrs. Wang, you should restrain your slaves. Why are you so careless... Wife calm down, tomorrow son will personally apologize to eldest brother."

Shi Taijun is an old man, so it means that he doesn't plan to return Jia Amnesty's things.My heart was half cold.

She has four children in her life, and three of them are raised in front of her. The eldest child looked okay when she was young, but the older she gets, the more confused she is. It is decent to marry a daughter-in-law.The second child, Jia Zheng, is the most upright, but judging from this matter, he is also a cruel master, and the second daughter-in-law is greedy for money, dull and short-sighted.Jia Min who has gone does not mention it, but Jia Gu who is outside is the most promising one, but Jia Gu has long since separated himself.

Shi Taijun waved his hand, "Go back, too. In the future, the old lady will be happy with her granddaughter and grandson, and I won't care about you anymore."

Jia Zheng confessed again, and repeatedly begged the old lady to teach Wang, but Mrs. Wang felt uncomfortable and pretended to be a log.Shi Taijun glanced at Mrs. Wang, and then at his son. Seeing that he looked tired, he was not disappointed after he declined, knowing that he was just coaxing himself for the sake of looking good.Waved again, called the mandarin ducks over, and sent the couple away.

Jia Gu brought ginseng over at night. He first took a look at Jia Amnesty. Looking at it under the lamp, he felt like he had lost his soul. He also heard that the water and rice had never stuck to his teeth in one day, so he asked the kitchen to boil a pot. Chicken soup, skim off the oil, add a few handfuls of noodles, add more vinegar and mushrooms, the rice is ready, and Jia Lian is here.

Jia Cong came with Jia Gu, and together with Jia Xun supported Jia Amnesty to sit. Jia Lian saw it, and hurriedly followed, pushed Jia Cong away, and began to serve him attentively.

Jia Amnesty ignored him, Jia Xun ignored him, Jia Cong was small and was ignored.

Jia Gu already knew that he was a man of the wind, so he could not be said to have annoyed him. Hearing his greetings, he said a few words to him lightly.

Jia Amnesty couldn't eat it anymore, so Jia Huan advised him to eat a few mouthfuls of refreshing side dishes first, and then eat noodles.

"All of you sit down, and the chicken legs are for Cong'er. They are growing now. My eldest brother drank the noodle soup anyway. The few green vegetables in it look fresh, so let's eat them together."

"Give me a jug of good wine..."

"The doctor said you can't drink." Jia Huan persuaded him.

Jia Amnesty shrank. Jia Gu looked at him, then at Jia Lian who was trying to show off, and picked up the bowl, "Take a bite, let me tell you something, it's a good thing, I'll listen to it with my own ears today. Said."

Jia She stopped him from staring at him, took a sip of soup, and asked Jia Gu with a hopeful expression, "The emperor will not deprive me of my title?"

Seeing his innocence, Jia Gu couldn't bear to laugh at him, "...No, it's a good thing for Concubine Jia in the palace. The emperor told me personally today that Concubine Jia is pregnant, counting from the month of entering the palace. It's been four or five months now."

Several people around the table were startled by the news. Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were pleasantly surprised, and Jia Cong also thought it was a good thing, but Jia Xuan was just shocked.

He knew that his father was in contact with some of the servants in the palace, but this news has not been spread out. Either the emperor controlled Miyagi like an iron bucket, or something happened to those few people.These two inferences are not something to be happy about for Zhongwuhou Mansion.

"Really, is the second sister going to give birth to a little prince?" Jia Cong asked cautiously. Even though he was young, he had reached the age of discerning things. Naturally, he knew how much a woman in the palace would rely on if she had a prince.

Jia Lian was overjoyed, and the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic.

"Don't be happy if you didn't give birth, even if you give birth, you have to raise it."

Jia Lian's smile subsided a little, "Uncle said so."

Jia Amnesty took the bowl and began to chop the rice. What he thought was that my master, I must live longer than Jia Cunzhou, and I want to watch my grandson... the thought of being the emperor flashed through his mind.He ate the other chicken leg fiercely, but Jia Huan stopped him for a while, for fear that he would ruin his stomach by overeating.

Jia Amnesty had a plan for the future, so he ate and slept honestly. When he fell asleep, there was a smile on his mouth, as if he was having a sweet dream.

Jia Gu took Jia Xuan and Jia Lian out of the East Courtyard, and said to Jia Lian, "Living in the palace is not easy, and it is the most dangerous. After you go back, don't spread the word about it everywhere. When you grow up, it's time for you to be happy."

Jia Lian is not a scholar who does not hear things outside the window. He is also very clear about the importance of Jia Gu and his son in the court. In the past, he wanted to visit Jia Gu in Zhongwuhou's mansion. Uncle doesn't like himself.In addition, I listened to my second aunt's words last year, and made a mess with Jia Xun. Jia Xun usually ignored him.Now that I have seized the opportunity, I naturally want to have a kiss with my uncle and cousin.

Jia Gu had always looked down on him, so naturally he wouldn't mention him more, said a few innocuous gossips, and walked away.

"Uncle Xie for teaching me." Jia Lian watched their father and son lead them away on horseback, and walked back to Rongguo Mansion by himself.

Back in the room, seeing Ping'er sleeping on the couch, Jia Lian coaxed Ping'er to sleep with the eldest sister's nanny with nice words, and told Wang Xifeng the good news by herself.

Wang Xifeng felt relieved immediately, the grievance of being left behind by Mrs. Wang disappeared, and pulled Jia Lian's ear, "This is reasonable, the nobleman is recorded under the name of the first wife, and she is the sister of the second master's direct relative. , we should be of one mind with the nobleman."

"I also know that the second uncle is separated by one floor. The Zhongwuhou's mansion is my uncle's real uncle. It's just that I don't know where I won't catch my uncle's eyes. I haven't paid much attention to me yet. , It’s not easy to come to visit right now, after a while, I will pick up Sister Lin, you have a good talk with Sister Lin, and when the time comes, I will use Sister Lin’s name to pay a visit to my aunt.”

Although Wang Xifeng thinks this idea is not very good, but for young couples, it is always good to have one more way, and she flattered Jia Lian a little bit, making Jia Lian's heart ecstatic, knowing that Jia She really vomited blood, Wang Xifeng Desiring to put on a virtuous appearance in front of Jia Lian, he took the initiative to say that tomorrow he would secretly find a good ginseng plant and send it to the elder.

Jia Lian felt more and more that his wife only wanted to be strong, but she was still a virtuous wife inside. She held Wang Xifeng in her arms, and the two of them rubbed each other's ears and played happily all night.

The next day, Jia She got up early and asked the boy to go to the Zhuangzi outside the city to call the steward. The Zhuangzi was his grandmother's private property or dowry. Almost all the old man's things were given to Jia She, and they were carried away yesterday. Although the things in the house are valuable, they are all dead things, and the three Zhuangzi outside the city are the big ones.

The three stewards are all elderly, they are the descendants of Mrs. Xian Guogong's wife, and they have lived in Zhuangzi for decades.

"My lord, I was deprived of my title yesterday, and now I am a land rich man. There is nothing useful in my family. You have given your sons and grandsons the work you are doing, and you are working as servants in this mansion."

The three of them looked at each other, and one of them talked on their stomachs, "Master, the servants are old, and it's not smart to go out with the master to socialize, why don't the old slaves send the smart children at home, and the master chooses."

The matter was settled in this way, and people were selected from Zhuangzi, and a few servant girls were bought, and a mason was hired to completely seal the gate leading to Rongguo Mansion.Jia Amnesty made himself a rich man at home.

Shi Taijun knew that he was annoyed, and with the fact that his private house had been taken away by Wang, he understood that he didn't want to see himself and Jia Zheng now, but the two brothers didn't separate, so it's not good for them to stay still like this, or make outsiders see the joke .Let Mrs. Xing come to pay her respects twice a day.Said it was twice a day, but actually came in the morning, hello, serve Shi Taijun for breakfast, talk with her, serve lunch, serve Shi Taijun for a nap, then accompany her to the yard, serve dinner, and watch the sky darken , in order to take a car around a big bend back to the East Courtyard.

Jia Amnesty didn't take Xing's behavior to heart, and didn't say much about her flattering Shi Taijun.

He is no longer an official, so he can only use the gates used by the common people. Jia She watched the servants unload the gates, block the gates, and install two small and narrow black lacquered wooden gates. Kind of shabby.

Poor!From the Zanying family to the Hanwei family, it only took one day.Although on the surface he looked away, in fact, Jia She would never look away in his life.
