Red Mansion is so good I want to cry

Aunt Xue has a tender face and soft ears, and she has always listened to her brothers and sisters.

During the festive season, people with big bags and small carts must pack up their good things and go to the ceremony. Although those two families also returned a lot of things, the value is far less than that sent by Xue's family.

When Father Xue was alive, although he knew that this was a loss-making business, who made Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang both officials and businessmen?

Their family has to give gifts to those families every year. There are not many families, and there are many families missing, so they passed by with one eye closed.

But over time, it becomes a habit.

Even if Father Xue had gone, the two or three families of Mrs. Wang and Wang Ziteng were still waiting for Aunt Xue's ceremony.Coincidentally, the matter of Wang Ren happened again.Wang Ziteng became more ruthless.

Before Xue Baochai escaped from Jinling, it is not that he did not ask the relatives of the Wang family for help.Yet these so-called relatives are more ambitious than outsiders.

At the beginning, they said that the Xue family had caught the eyes of many people, and that the Wang family really had no reason to help each other, and then the uncle's family actually wanted her to marry that dude Wang Ren.Xue Baochai was very intelligent, and when she heard this, she understood that before and after her marriage, her brother might not survive.

Once her brother is gone, wouldn't she and her mother become ants in the hands of others, who can pinch them as they want.When she really married into Wang's family, maybe her front foot would marry into it, and her back foot would also die.

The more things Xue Baochai experienced, the more grateful she was to Shui Yuan and the Zhen family.If it weren't for the source of water and the Zhen family, after her father left, she might not be able to figure it out or see clearly for the rest of her life.

The Xue family has been keeping a low profile in order to survive.The preparations that Father Xue made before his death and Xue Baochai's operations really made their family evaporate, leaving those people nowhere to look for them.But if you follow the etiquette with those people with ulterior motives, it is estimated that everyone will know which mouse hole their family is hiding in.

But what is disappointing is that Xue Baochai listened to Aunt Xue's nagging, promised on the face, and then turned around and ordered someone to pack up some things, so that the loyal steward of Xue's family ran to Xihai Yanzi to leave for approval. goods.

After coming and going for several days, when Aunt Xue thought of asking about it again, Xue Baochai just said that she had sent someone to send it.There has been no reply so far, presumably it is Lu Tusheng or something has delayed it.

After a few more festivals, Aunt Xue also ordered her daughter to prepare gifts for her uncle's and aunt's family, but she still didn't receive any gifts in return, and Aunt Xue was heartbroken.

While lamenting that their family was defeated, their brothers and sisters also disliked their orphans and widowed mothers.At the same time, he told Baochai not to prepare gifts in the future.

When Baochai heard this, she smiled and comforted Aunt Xue, but she had already thought about the reason for the reunion in the capital a few years later.

She is small, so it's understandable for her to be fooled by those managers, isn't it?

Anyway, her father said that as long as she leaves Xiao and enters the capital, Duke Rong will take care of the three of them.

……

Time is probably the fairest thing under the sky, just like the three-year filial piety period in group buying.The Jia family was suffering with a disheveled face, so was the Xue family, and even the Wang family whose son and elder brother died.Oh, I forgot to mention, the historian lost a wife a few years ago.

In the past few years, without the support of Jia's mother, the Jia family and the Shi family have become much weaker.However, there are fewer walks in the inner house, and the men walk around a few times more than in the original book.

When Jia Xiaoniu thought of the things about the historian in the original book, she felt a little touched for a while. "When Mrs. Shi Jia leaves, give Miss Shi the little jewelry set I got earlier."

Qingwen let out an 'oh', and went to find Mother Tang with a smile.

I don’t know how that Miss Shi touched the softest piece of meat in their girl’s heart. As long as the historians send someone to ask Ann to take a gift or something, their girl will always bring something to that Miss Shi. .

It's just that the girl always brings things to Miss Shi, but not to other girls in the Shi family. Isn't it too good?

Forget it, they like to be happy or not.Their girls are already confirmed princes and concubines.As the girl said, don't you like it?Either you hold back, or you still have to hold back.

When she was young, Nanny Tang came out of the ear room holding a jewelry box.Hand it over to the little girl in the house and let her send it out.

Turning her head, she saw Jia Xiaoniu fanning around with a fan in a bored way, she shook her head and smiled, "After the old lady's filial piety, girls with bright materials can wear clothes. Qingwen is getting better and better. I just saw the pomegranate skirt she made for the girl in the back, it is so delicate. The girl is idle now, why not try the length?"

Qingwen is really talented in female red embroidery. After coming to Rongguo Mansion for a few years, and after being carefully taught by the two nuns under the name of Jia Xiaoniu, her skills are really incomparable with those who have embroidered for many years. Up and down.

Unfortunately, Jia Xiaoniu and Qingwen are the same age, so far she can only embroider bald wild ducks and weeds called peonies...

"Why try again? Move lazily, don't try again. If you think it's good, just get up early tomorrow and wear it."

Tang Nanny said hello and turned to look at Qingwen.Qingwen went out to tidy up the skirt knowingly.

Time passed by in a flash, except that not being able to eat meat made people feel that the time to keep their filial piety was a little longer, but in short, it passed without any waves.

For three whole years, the Jia family closed their doors to thank guests, and only visited a few relatives and water sources.

The source of water has now gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and at the same time it is also in charge of the financial power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Now he is grinding his lips with his father and brother every day.

There is a prodigal daughter-in-law, he can still afford it.But the prodigal father and more than half a dozen prodigal brothers made Shui Yuan unbearable.

Even if it wasn't his money that was spent, he felt distressed when he saw it.So after the water source became busy, Jia Xiaoniu went here less.

In addition to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the most important departments of the entire court. Today's sons want to hold these two departments in their hands.

However, under the scramble, with the mentality of not being able to take advantage of the enemy, in the end the peach was picked by the water source.

Seeing the water source sharpening their knives, the seven princes lamented that they didn't grab it, and at the same time, they also felt that others, like themselves, would live a tight life under the hands of Brother Koumen.

Shui Yuan's money-hungry temperament continued unabated as he grew older, and became even more ferocious.Every penny spent by the Ministry of Accounts must be carefully calculated.Even military expenditures must be accounted for personally.

He still knows where to pick and can't pick the sergeant, so when the Ministry of War asks for money, the source of water has never been as careful as other departments, pressing and pressing, reducing and reducing.But it must also be clear.

He can't be greedy for a penny, and others don't even think about making a penny.

It is said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Shui Yuan also understands this truth, but Shui Yuan is a little puzzled. What does this have to do with him?

His father is still sitting on the dragon chair, and none of his seven older brothers will live a short life, so why does he wrong himself for the sake of others?

Shui Yuan became confident, but others did not have such a good mentality, so in order to preserve their own strength and eliminate the enemy under Shui Yuan's indiscriminate attack, the seven princes tried their best to help Shui Yuan make holes.

Today the confidants of the third prince reported the people of the fifth prince, and in the next afternoon the disciples of the ninth prince coincidentally gave Shui Yuan a pile of criminal evidence against the subordinates of the seventh prince.

With you coming and going, the seven princes dismantled each other, but Shui Yuan impeached many people.It also made Jinjin on the dragon chair see clearly how much power his sons have under the poker table.

In short, after a vigorous rectification movement, Shui Yuan became the ghost of the civil and military courts, and Jia Xiaoniu, the prince and concubine who had not yet entered the family, became the most unpopular girl.

After the water source became busy, there was less time to come to Rongguo Mansion.Without water to play with, Jia Xiaoniu can only play with three or four-year-old Jia Cong and Xichun.

However, the age gap is a bit big, and the bear kids don't pay much attention to her.

As for Baoyu?

She is so dedicated to studying, how could she play with Jia Xiaoniu, a cousin who is not very motivated and has a bit of a job.

Alas, Yusheng is lonely~

"Mammy, rest, I'll go to my wife's place."

Tang Nanny nodded, "It's getting dark, the girl is walking against the wall."

Just when Jia Xiaoniu was bored every day, Rongguo Mansion received a letter from Yangzhou.

As soon as he passed the filial piety this year, Jia Lian caught up with the Tongsheng Examination, and then went all the way up the exam, and finally passed the Juren Examination.

Although the ranking is only at the bottom of the list, Jia Lian can return to the capital.

The main reason for being so anxious was that Lin Ruhai was going back to the capital to report on his duties.

Jia Daishan missed his daughter as well as his grandson and grandchildren, so he went to the palace every day to clean up his old face, and finally got Jinjin to agree to transfer Lin Ruhai back to the capital.

This time when the Lin family returned to the capital, it would be inconvenient for Jia Lian to stay in the south.So after Jia Lian consulted Lin Ruhai and Jia Min for their opinions, he signed up for the Tongsheng Examination after he passed the filial piety.

With the upbringing of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, as well as the cultural influence of Yangzhou, Jia Lian really passed the test all the way.Considering Jia Lian's age, this result is already a very good result.

Anyway, the Jia family is quite satisfied.

Mrs. Wang from the second bedroom said some harsh words, saying that Jia Zhu's ranking in the Juren examination was higher than Jia Lian's.

The Jin family ignored her, and only cared that Jia Zheng could make up for the vacancy after his filial piety.

Immediately, Mrs. Wang was extinguished by Jin's "concern".

Yes, it's been a while since the filial piety, why hasn't the Ministry of Officials sent officials yet?

As long as there is no national filial piety, under normal circumstances, there will be a large number of prospective civil servants who need to be employed every three years.

There are also some people with real talents and real learning, who know how to deal with people and understand the rules of officialdom. Like Jia Zheng, he got an official position because of his daughter-in-law's face. He has neither talent nor ability to behave. After finally looking forward to him, how can I invite him back again.

Anyway, the Ministry of Industry does not want Jia Zheng to live or die.Even the Ministry of Industry does not want it, and other departments can push it away if they can. The people in the Ministry of Officials saw it, good guy, no one has ever made all the departments so evasive like Jia Zheng.Thinking of the nineteenth prince who is in power now, and the nineteenth concubine in the future, these people suddenly realized.

Come on, let's wait, anyway, there are quite a few people waiting for vacancies every year.

However, Jia Zheng's official was not sent down, but Jia Zhu's was sent down immediately after his filial piety, and the position remained the same, neither promoted nor demoted.

Jia Zhu went to work happily after a few days, and then on the day of work, he was caught by his old man who was idle at home from morning to night with a dark face, and then he was scolded and reprimanded. .

After being scolded like a dead dog by Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu was in a bad mood.Thinking of the training he has received since he was a child, Jia Zhu is actually very jealous of his younger brother who has been raised in the big house and by his grandfather's side.

He must be very happy not to have been washed by his own father's spittle since he was a child.

Jia Zhu went back to Rongqingtang listlessly, just as Qin Keqing was playing in the yard with her son in her arms.Seeing him like this, he understood after a second thought, held back his laugh, and walked forward a few steps, just asking for his health.

Jia Zhu felt much better after seeing his beloved wife Jiaoer.After stroking his son's hair, he told the girls to continue playing, and he came out after changing his official robe.

Qin Keqing smiled and nodded, watching Jia Zhu enter the room.

After being married for several years and having another child, Qin Keqing has matured a lot.As the eldest son's first wife of the second room, and gave birth to the eldest grandson, Qin Keqing's state of mind is quite peaceful at this time.

Her grandfather is still alive, she also has her husband and son, life is actually very good.The mother-in-law's dislike and making things difficult are nothing.

Anyway, her identity is there, if it is too much, the eldest wife of the big house and the great-grandfather Jia Daishan will not agree.

"Greetings to Grandma Zhu, our wife asks Grandma Zhu to come over and talk."

Qin Keqing was lost in thought, why don't the girl next to the Jin family come over and invite her.Qin Keqing thought for a while, then went into the room and talked to Jia Zhu, then drove over with her son in her arms.

Not long after Qin Keqing walked out, Mrs. Wang heard about it, and she was so angry that Qin Keqing had no one in her eyes, and she didn't even say a word to her when she went out, and she hated this daughter-in-law even more in her heart.

Bowing her head and turning the prayer beads in her hand, Mrs. Wang raised her lips slightly.

"Come and sit down quickly, our mothers don't like those salutes." Seeing that Qin Keqing was about to salute when she came in, the Jin family stopped her with a smile, let her sit beside her, and looked at Jia Lan who was held in Qin Keqing's arms with a smile , "Lang Ge'er has grown a lot, and this little girl is also very handsome. You are so lucky to take Lan Ge to play with the third master and the fourth girl, and let us girls talk about yourselves."

After complimenting Qin Keqing's son, the Jin family was carried out.Qin Keqing didn't pay much attention when she saw her, and just let Jia Lan's nanny take care of her.

"I didn't call you here today for anything else, I just want to tell you two things."

When Qin Keqing heard Jin's words, she quickly stood up from her seat, and replied respectfully, "I am young, and my generation is small. If there is something inconsiderate, I can still call me auntie."

Hearing what Qin Keqing said, Jin touched her face subconsciously.

In fact, she is quite young.
