[Red Mansions] Male wife

Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Xiuyun, smiled and refused: "Mother-in-law said it was too late. When I disembarked earlier, my son-in-law had already sent someone to move the accompanying things to the new residence."

"New residence?" Mother Jia looked at Lin Ruhai in surprise.

"Look at my memory, I forgot to tell you that my son-in-law came to Beijing this time not only to report on his duties, but also the emperor's decree to stay in the post. The specific position has not yet been announced, but the son-in-law thinks that he will most likely join the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Lin Ruhai replied road.

When Jia Mu heard him say "[-]%", she knew that it should be the decision.That is a good place for high officials to personally listen to the emperor's orders.Jia Mu nodded cheerfully, happy for Lin Ruhai.Now seeing Daiyu living a nourishing and comfortable life, I am also happy for her daughter under Jiuquan.

"You too, don't tell me when you set up a new mansion, I can ask Xiuyun to help you." Jia's mother was a little dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai's killing first and then playing.

"Didn't the son-in-law think about Daiyu and his eldest uncle a few months ago... I'm afraid that you are too busy, it will be too troublesome." Lin Ruhai replied.

Jia's mother suddenly thought of her son's matter, so Lin Ruhai could not be blamed, it was because he thought well. "Since that's the case, then I'll stay here for a few days now, and just get some urgent things from the Xinfu. If we don't need them urgently, we can make them now and find them in time."

Daiyu laughed and said, "We brought a lot of things, one box after another, and we couldn't find them unless we went back to pack them up."

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, looked at Daiyu, smiled and nodded.When did this girl speak so crisply, she is not as delicate and reserved as when she came here before.

Fang Luzhou glanced at his wife, smiled and offered a generous gift to Jia's mother, and then left with Lin Ruhai and others.

Mother Jia looked at the child enviously. He had a handsome appearance and a good conversation. It seemed that he came from a well-educated family.Mother Jia liked it with all her heart, and really wanted to have a chat with Fang Luzhou, but she didn't have the chance.After seeing off the Lin family and the Fang family, Mother Jia sighed and turned to rest, only to see Baoyu still beside her.

"You child, why do you look like a ghost? Just now when your Uncle Lin and Sister Lin came, why didn't you say a word, who was always thinking about your Sister Lin?"

Baoyu was in a trance, stunned for a while, looked at Jia's mother, and cried with a cry.Mrs. Wang and others hurried forward to coax him, saying all the good things.

Puzzled, Jiamu frowned at the child, and suddenly realized that Baoyu was not so different from him.Mother Jia sighed, looking around the wealthy main hall with her eyes, she suddenly found that everything had changed.

Jia Xiuyun sent Lin Ruhai off on behalf of Rongfu.Before getting into the car, Lin Ruhai patted Jia Xiuyun's shoulder with a smile: "I'm sorry to bother you about buying a new house. Let me settle down for a couple of days, and then I'll go to your academy to have a look."

Jia Xiuyun smiled and nodded: "I wish for it!"

Lin Ruhai laughed twice, his eyes hesitated for a while, and he suddenly asked: "Is there no news about him yet?"

Knowing that Lin Ruhai was talking about Pei Jin, Jia Xiuyun smiled and shook his head. "It's so far away. If there is a fight, it may be difficult to spread the news. There should be news to the palace. It may be a military emergency, so it must be kept secret. Even the sixth prince and concubine Shu can't find out."

"This is really strange." Lin Ruhai sighed in doubt.

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as a barbarian invasion, and the imperial court's secrecy can only be like that." Jia Xiuyun replied.

Lin Ruhai was startled, looked around, and asked Jia Xiuyun in a low voice, "You mean collusion between inside and outside?"

Jia Xiuyun nodded affirmatively when he thought of the weird assassins he and Pei Jin encountered when they went to Yangzhou. "The Holy Majesty can keep this secret, which makes me a little relieved. Uncle Lin doesn't need to worry about me, I'm fine."

Seeing that he understood better than herself, Lin Ruhai smiled, patted Jia Xiuyun on the shoulder, and got in the car to leave.

Jia Xiuyun turned back to report to Jia Mu about his skills, but before he entered the door, he heard Mrs. Wang in the room discussing Tanchun's marriage with Jia Mu again.Mrs. Wang did not know when she had already found a good family, and she was going to marry Tan Chunyuan to King Nanxi of Mongolia.Mrs. Wang vividly described how she got this opportunity, and how much gold, silver and jewels the courtiers of Nanxi Wang promised as dowry gifts.

Mother Jia felt that her marriage was too far away, she might not have said anything before, but now considering the Rong Mansion's only reliance, Xiuyun, she had to take care of Aunt Zhao's feelings. "Will it be too far?"

"As long as you marry with wealth and status, it doesn't matter how far you are." Mrs. Wang urged.

"Let's discuss it with Xiuyun." Mother Jia frowned.

Mrs. Wang was a little upset, what happened to Jia Mu when she came in, the boss got angry?Why do you ask her to discuss everything with Jia Xiuyun, but he is worthy even if he is a bastard!

"You should really worry about Baoyu's marriage." Mother Jia coughed twice suddenly, and sighed, "He is still a year older than Miss Lin, and now that Miss Lin has children, it's shameful that he hasn't been engaged yet. I think this child is too late to understand, maybe it will be better when he gets married, look at him, he is as old as Baoyu, he is better than him in everything, and he is already a juren, and he is going to study in the Imperial College."

Mrs. Wang knew that Mother Jia was talking about Daiyu's husband Fang Luzhou, and she was a little bit annoyed, but the reality was there, and she couldn't allow her to argue.Mrs. Wang didn't want to say too much, the Xue family's refusal to marry did delay her serious thinking. "It's either that the daughter-in-law didn't worry about Baoyu's marriage, or she didn't find a suitable one. Choosing a daughter-in-law is a matter of a lifetime, so be careful."

"It makes sense. It's better to know the basics. Let's see, my natal family also happened to arrange a marriage for Xiangyun. Fortunately, our two families got married, we got married, and we know the basics. The two children got along well before." Jia Maternity.

"This..." Mrs. Wang frowned, a little reluctant to agree to this marriage.Shi Xiangyun's child was too noisy, and he couldn't control it when he was a girl, but when he was her daughter-in-law?God!No way!

"Old Ancestor, the person has already been sent away." Jia Xiuyun entered the door and replied.

Wang Xifeng has been quietly watching him enter the door, afraid that Jia Xiuyun would miss something, and reported with a smile: "Brother Huan came just in time, the old ancestor is discussing a happy event with his wife, you are also honored."

Jia Xiuyun calculated the date, and it happened to be half a year of filial piety today. It seems that Mrs. Wang had planned to marry Tanchun a long time ago. As for Baoyu's marriage, it was an accident.

"Old Ancestor, don't worry about Baoyu, he is a man, sooner or later he will be fine." Mrs. Wang laughed.

"Why don't you be in a hurry, if you don't be in a hurry, it will be fine!" Mother Jia said a little angrily. She was really stimulated by seeing Daiyu like that today. If she had made a decision earlier, the big fat boy would be the one now. Her little great-grandson is now, and she is likely to have an in-law as good as son-in-law Lin. "Okay, that's all for Baoyu's marriage. You can find a matchmaker to propose marriage some other day."

Mrs. Wang didn't expect Mother Jia to make a decision so quickly, she was so anxious, she looked around, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan, Jia Xiuyun... none of them could stand beside her and speak for her.Not only did they not speak for her, but these people also cheerfully congratulated the old lady.

Mrs. Wang is powerless, so she can only accept her fate and let her go.After returning to the house, she vented her anger, and immediately wrote a letter, complaining a lot, and urging Jia Zheng to come back earlier.

The next month, Jia Zheng, who had been released outside, returned quietly as Mrs. Wang had hoped.When Mrs. Wang heard the news suddenly, she was surprised and happy, and excitedly went to meet Jia Zheng.But Jia Zheng didn't look good. As soon as he got out of the car, he gave Mrs. Wang a blank look, but said to his son Jia Xiuyun, "You have worked hard", and then took his son to greet Jia's mother.

Jia's mother happily asked someone to throw a banquet to celebrate her son's return. Jia Zheng said angrily, "No need, I will return to the Ministry of Industry to report to you later." Put on official clothes and go out.

"What's the matter?" Mother Jia asked.

"The old ancestor's illness has never been cured, so the grandson made his own decision and didn't tell you about his father. This time, when my father was released as an official, he had a chance to be promoted. Because he neglected an important matter last month, he was ginsenged. Ben said he was negligent of duty. The Holy Majesty wanted to punish him and dismiss him, but the grandson entrusted the general’s wife to intercede, and he tried his best to make his father a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang.”

"What, there is such a big thing, do you know why your father was demoted?" Mother Jia was startled, regretting her son's official position, and at the same time thanking her grandson for hugging his son's black hat proudly.

Jia Xiuyun glanced at Mrs. Wang and shook his head.

Jia Mu knew that there was something tricky here, so she sent the rest of the people away, leaving him to question.Jia Xiuyun told Jia's mother about Mrs. Wang's letter of complaint. "My mother was probably distracted, and she spoke fiercely in her heart. My father was not happy when he saw it. He messed up the table and case, delayed checking the important news that was originally handed to father, and delayed the construction period."

"Ignorant women!" Mother Jia scolded angrily.

Jia Xiuyun didn't say a word, he didn't think the fault was on Mrs. Wang, or that Jia Zheng was incapable of shifting the responsibility to the woman.This time the work is good. He is in charge of the sacrificial utensils and the like in the Ministry of Rites. They are all dead objects. As long as they do good things during the emperor's sacrifice, there is no work at all on weekdays, and nothing can go wrong.Jia Xiuyun couldn't help it, the Rongfu always had to have an official master, and they couldn't all be polished commanders.The general's wife, Mrs. Wu, also sent a message to him that he still had to do superficial work, and he was lucky to wait for his marriage in a year. Tanchun and Xichun had to rely on the Rongfu to get married.

The eldest house is worthless and can't be an official, and the second house is incapable. Rongfu's daily expenses now depend on the soon-to-be-married Jia Xiuyun.The Rong Mansion is considered to be in complete decline, but everyone behaves in a self-destructive manner, and it's kind of like living a life.

During the Chinese New Year, Jia's mother settled Baoyu and Xiangyun's marriage, which can be regarded as double happiness.But Jia Mu's body was getting worse day by day, so Wang Xifeng followed Jia Mu's wishes and discussed with Mrs. Wang to arrange Baoyu's marriage earlier.News also just came from General Pei's mansion that the leader of Tiefu had been captured, and Pei Jin and his father were already escorting him back to Beijing.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Jia Xiuyun brought generous gifts to visit Mrs. Wu. This year, Mrs. Wu will spend the festival alone, so she must be lonely.After Jia Xiuyun chatted with her for a while, Mrs. Wu casually mentioned the issue of their marriage this year.

"If Zizhuo comes back, I'm thinking about how many months to advance your marriage. I heard that your old lady's health is not very good recently. If you agree, I will come to your door to discuss with your old lady later on." Mrs. Wu I don't want Jia Xiuyun to keep his filial piety and wait another year or so.

Jia Xiuyun nodded: "It's all up to Madam, my nephew has something else to ask Madam."

"What's the matter?" Wu asked strangely.

"How many guards with swords are there in the General's Mansion?"

"Zizhuo took away more than a dozen, and now there are more than [-] high-ranking ones. The kung fu is not bad, why, Xiuyun, if you want to borrow it, just tell me." I don't quite understand what Jia Xiuyun wants these guards to do. He doesn't participate in politics, and he doesn't fight with anyone. Could it be that someone is causing trouble in the Qiusuo Academy?

"Ma'am, can we send these guards out secretly to meet the general and the others. I'm worried that something will happen on the way. After all, they are escorting the leader of Tiefu." Jia Xiuyun replied.
