Old things in the Red Chamber

Shi Taijun is a very tasteful old lady. Her courtyard is very well-organized and her supplies are exquisite. Mrs. Xing went to invite the old lady, and Mrs. Tong played with the cup. She didn't plan to talk to Mrs. Wang who was opposite. He lowered his eyelids and looked at her, thinking that Mrs. Tong was not in a hurry.

Hearing that it was a Hedong lion, Jia Gu was always in awe of it.Mrs. Wang took a closer look at Mrs. Tong. They were about the same age, but Mrs. Tong looked younger. She was thin and her figure looked younger. with a little sorrow.Mrs. Wang is very clear about how to cultivate this look.It must be that the husband is respectful, the son is filial, there is nothing unclean in the house, and the daily life goes smoothly.

Mrs. Wang's hands tightened as she counted the beads. Today, the old lady wanted to give Tong Shi a slap in the face, but Tong Shi didn't take it seriously.

After another quarter of an hour, the tea was cold, and there was no old lady around, let alone Mrs. Xing coming back. Mrs. Tong was not in a hurry. Four or five burly women stood behind her, and she continued to play with the cup lid.

The main hall is so quiet.

A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Xing helped the old lady in and came in. Mrs. Tong waited for her to sit down, and greeted Shi Taijun first. This was a national courtesy, and the maid put down the kneeling mat in front of her, consciously as a family courtesy , let her kowtow, was also ignored by Tong.Now Jia Gu only intends to associate with Jia She, a first-class general, and does not want to recognize most of the people in the Rongguo Mansion as relatives.Naturally, she wouldn't drag her husband's hind legs, because Shi Taijun made a cold face and felt that the sky was falling.

"Chouer's family." Shi Taijun took a sip of tea, "What's the matter today?"

Mrs. Tong just smiled, looked at Shi Taijun looking at her, and asked suspiciously, "Are you... calling me? Who is the Chou'er family?"

"Jia Gu's breast name is Chou'er, which was bestowed by the old man."

"Our master has a baby name? I didn't know that our master's name was also given by the old man. He is now in his 40s and has been an official. The son is so old. Seeing that he will marry his daughter-in-law at the end of next year, the future In [-], he will be able to respond to grandpa, even if he has a baby name, you can't still call him by his baby name, it's disrespectful."

Shi Taijun put the tea bowl down heavily, "The old woman is his own mother, she crawled out of my stomach, why can't I say a word about her?"

Mrs. Tong asked in surprise, "Is there such a thing? That's not what my old grandfather's confidant said when he went to my mother's house to propose marriage. He said, 'Our young master is a concubine, and it is suitable for your concubine daughter.' It was also said in the autographed letter, that our Marquis is not from a good family background, we will not be included in the genealogy, and we will get one by ourselves in the future, and the lady of your family will be the wife of the clan. Now, who should we believe?"

Back to the past: not long after Jia Gu was born, Shi Taijun cried when he saw him, and some people said that the twins are unknown, and some people said that Jia Gu’s birth date is not good. This is the standard horoscope that restrains father and mother. Go outside, foster elsewhere.

Jia Daishan was reluctant.

At that time, he had a concubine who was a favorite, and before he gave birth, he said, "It's better to give my brother to the slave's family to raise my son." Jia Daishan was quite moved.This matter was known by Shi Taijun, so he naturally disagreed. After a few days of quarrel at home, people from the Shi family also came to persuade him. Regarding this birthmark, some people said that it was what happened in the previous life, and they will continue to make trouble in this life.

Relatives persuaded Jia Daishan to send him away for the safety of his house, and his colleagues advised Jia Daishan to send him away for the sake of his official career. Jia Daishan finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he entrusted him to a confidant of the year, who was also in the capital at the time, in a house Jia Gu was raised in the house, and he was taken care of very meticulously, and he was raised in vain and fat. Jia Daishan was thinking about his own son, and went to see him every now and then, and sometimes he even took Jia She to see him.

When the child was in his teens, he yearned for horse bow and horse martial arts. In addition, the emperor in Beijing had several serious illnesses, and Jia Daishan was wooed by others, and the son he raised in private was found out.Due to various considerations, Jia Gu was sent to Beidi.

After more than ten years, Jia Daishan died after saving him. For Jia Gu, his father was gone, and everything in Beijing was cut off.Only by fighting the enemy bravely, will it be difficult to get ahead.

Shi Taijun was very angry, but the old man has experienced more storms, so he can handle it naturally.

"That's a false rumor. This old man who is full of people doesn't know that he was born by me."

"I believe in the old man even more. This old man who is full of people wants to listen to you. I won't say whether this is right or wrong. Anyway, everyone in the palace knows that I went to the palace to meet the queen mother and queen a few days ago. The queen mother also asked, "Which daughter-in-law of the Jia family is kneeling below?" Concubine De said, "My sister is wrong, he is a serious son, not raised by the outside room." This word spread to the old saint, and the old saint sent eunuchs to spread the word. Imperial court officials, ministers of guards, are you ladies and gentlemen able to arrange?"

The whole room was silent, Shi Taijun didn't like Jia Gu's viscount title, in her impression, she was the wife of the country, and Jia Gu was a first-class marquis, regardless of other things, as far as her natal historian was also a double marquis , she had her birthday in August, full of relatives and relatives of the royal family came, and the princesses, princesses, princesses and concubines sat in the hall, and the first class was those orders from the dukes and wives. If the Tong family was Mrs. Hou at that time, her rank Still can't touch the seat.

The imperial orders of the women are linked to the positions of the men in front of them. Shi Taijun despises the imperial orders of the Tong family, and also despises Jia Gu's titles.

Everyone in the Rongguo Mansion always felt that their home was still the Duke's Mansion back then.To make them bow their heads is to be the royal family. Tong's purpose of bringing out the words of the Supreme Emperor is one: court officials, guards and ministers, are you ladies and gentlemen able to arrange it?

Shi Taijun changed the topic in front of him, and then asked Tong's reason for coming, "You are a rare visitor, and you can't even invite them. Why do you condescend to come to our house today with your footsteps?"

"Look at what you said. I've wanted to visit your mansion for a long time. Hasn't this been engaged to our family's Xun'er? Our family used to be in the North, and we don't understand the rules in Beijing. We have to ask someone to go to various places. Posts have been handed over in the house, and some of them liked us and taught me about 01:30, which made me useless. If it is inconvenient, we don’t want to bother you. I thought about our master and your house The old man has some connections. He posted a post for the first time. After waiting for five or six days without a response, he licked his face and sent it again. Presumably your house is too busy and did not reply to us, so I dare not make mistakes. I simply finished my work now. I have a boy under my knees, but I don’t have a girl. I see girls who are envious and my eyes are red, but I don’t have a daughter in this life, so I begged our master, and our master is also with you The master of the mansion made peace and invited two girls to play with us for a few days. Who knows, the old lady was shocked by some servants. I am here to make amends. Come on, bring the things up, old lady, If you want to love me, this thing must be accepted."

Tong's mouth was babbling and babbling, without stopping in the middle, the cause and effect were clearly explained, and he also complained that the Rongguo Mansion looked down on people, blocking Shi Taijun's preparations for intervening in Jia Yu's marriage preparations --- Tong thinks The old lady has nothing to do now, she might meddle in the relationship between Jia She and Jia Gu, and by the way, also put her hands in Zhongwuhou's mansion. You can't give people the slightest excuse.

Several people came up with two boxes, and when they opened it, they found two boxes of colorful clothes.

"One box contains twelve horses, and two boxes have 24 horses. They are all prized from the palace. There are bright red, purple, and new green...Look at me, I don't know how many colors there are, old lady Well-informed, these satins are not insulting to old ladies."

Shi Taijun didn't even lift his eyelids, "Our house is not short of clothes materials, let's take them home."

"This..." Mrs. Tong looked at Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing was cleaned up by the old lady just now, she would not dare to show her head, she lowered her head and did not want to meet Mrs. Tong's eyes.

Mrs. Tong looked at Mrs. Wang again, and Mrs. Wang rolled her eyelids. She had a clear attitude towards the old lady at the moment, that is, to get back the shame she lost just now. As for not forgiving what happened yesterday, that's another story.

"Ma'am, you have to make an apology." Mrs. Wang pointed to the kneeling mat placed in front of Shi Taijun with her eyes, and the meaning was self-evident.

Mrs. Tong looked at the Zhucui in the room, no one spoke, and most of them lowered their heads and looked at their feet.

"Since the old lady doesn't like this apology, I'll go back first."

Mrs. Tong stood up, followed by several strong women, those who carried the boxes carried the boxes, and those who waited followed, and a group of people left like the wind.

Shi Taijun wiped his heart, and Yuanyang hurried up to rub it for her, and the whole room suddenly became popular, those who brought water brought water, and those who took pills went to get pills, Madam Wang also asked questions with concern.

"How many bad things did I do in my previous life to attract these demon stars to anger me one by one." Shi Taijun rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang took the lead to kneel in front of him.

Mrs. Tong was sitting in the carriage, rubbing her handkerchief, "If you dare to bully my mother, I will bully your son. Send someone to Wangjiang Tower to find Lord Hou. Just say, I messed up the matter, please ask him Hurry up and fill me in."

A woman jumped off the shaft of the chariot and rode a horse to Wangjiang Tower.

When she got home, Mrs. Tong happened to be in time for lunch. When she saw two little girls who looked like green onions, she immediately became happy, and happily took the two little girls to dinner.

Jia Gu entertained his colleagues at the Wangjiang Tower. These are the military officers the emperor wanted to win over. Why do you say that half of the army is not in the hands of the emperor, so Jia Gu used the name of the banquet to persuade these generals.

Everyone knows what he means, and the emperor is orthodox. Now that the old emperor is still alive, the emperor took the imperial edict from the old emperor and ascended the throne, which is more legitimate than others.The general trend is like this, and these people are not fools, so they naturally climb up the pole.

When the sun went down, Jia Gu sent all his colleagues away, and Jia Gui came up to talk about what happened in the morning.

"Tell Madam, I'll be back later today. Brother and I will invite the two masters of the Shi family to dinner." After dismissing the woman who was waiting for an answer, he sent someone to invite Jia Amnesty, and Jia Gu returned to Wangjiang Tower to be the shopkeeper. Put it on another table.

After thinking about it, he invited Jia Zheng over.

Jia Zheng and Jia She had heard various versions of the rumors at home, most of which said that the Tong family was hateful, and the old lady was so angry that she almost turned over, and said that the old lady was crying in the house for a long time.

Jia Zheng thought about finding Jia Amnesty tomorrow to find Jia Gu's theory, but before dark, Jia Gu's invitation arrived.
