Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

The treasury of the Rongguo Mansion stores the accumulated assets of the Rongguo Mansion over the past dynasties, and the most precious financial resources of the Rongguo Mansion are gathered here. It is no exaggeration that nearly [-]% of the property of the Rongguo Mansion is in it.This place was also regarded as the most important place. The treasury was built with thick blue bricks, and three large locks were hung on the cast iron gate. The keys were all kept by Jia Daishan himself. Unless Jia Daishan approved, no one was allowed to enter easily.

It's funny to say that although Mrs. Zhang is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jia family, she has been in the family for many years and gave birth to two sons one after another. In the end, she entrusted her sister-in-law with the opportunity to buy a dowry, so she had the opportunity to enter this confidential place of Rongguo Mansion. Take a look at the gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings accumulated by the Rongguo Mansion over the years.

Jia's mother was not very willing to bring Mrs. Zhang with her, but now Mrs. Wang is sick and recuperating, and Jia Min is not good at interfering with her dowry. She really has no one to use. I had to let my daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, who I didn't like very much, come into the treasury.However, seeing Mrs. Zhang surprised by the boxes of gold and silver antiques in the warehouse, Jia Mu was still very proud, as if casually said: "These are all obtained by the ancestors for many years, little by little, several generations. , Only now has the scale today. You and the boss’s marriage opened a treasury once and moved a lot of good things out. The master said at the time that you are the eldest daughter-in-law, and the mansion should pay more attention to it. Those who came out of the palace before were also put into the betrothal gift."

Mrs. Zhang knew the elegant meaning when she heard the string song, and said with a smile: "My ancestors left so much wealth for the sake of their descendants. I have no talent or virtue, but I am so valued by the master and wife. I am really ashamed. Now that my sister-in-law is married, it is more appropriate. Choose some good ones and tell them about it, it will also give our Jia parents face."

Jia's mother was very satisfied with Zhang's attitude. She made up her mind to shock the Lin family with Jia Min's dowry, so it must not be missed.Last night, Mother Jia thought that if Mrs. Zhang did not know her acquaintances and dared to speak crooked words to stab Jia Min, she would never forgive Mrs. Zhang. She didn't want to, the daughter-in-law here has some good eyesight, which saved her from wasting words, and she felt very sad. Feeling more comfortable, he said generously: "Since you're here, you can take a good look here. If you like it, just tell me."

Mrs. Zhang was very surprised, and hurriedly said: "How dare I do this? Such a precious thing~"

Jia's mother pretended to scold her: "Why don't you dare, you are the daughter-in-law of my Jia family and the mother of brother Hu and brother Lian. You will have a share of everything here. Don't be so cautious. If you like it, just say it!"

Mrs. Zhang sneered all the time, thinking that what Jia Mu said was really abnormal, she simply agreed, walked to the side shelf and carefully looked at the gold and silver jewelry in the house, but she didn't leave the corner of her eyes. Looking at Jia Mu, I saw that she took out a key from her sleeve and walked to a secret door. After a while, the secret door opened. Shi sound.

Mrs. Zhang suddenly realized, no wonder she was so generous all of a sudden, it turned out that she didn't want her to enter the real inner treasury.She couldn't help being wronged again, she admitted that after marrying into Jia's family, she was very respectful to Jia Daishan and Jiamu, even if she thought about it later, it was Jia Daishan and Jiamu who abused her first.But after all, she gave birth to two children for the Jia family, even if she has no credit or hard work?Why did Jia Daishan and Jia's mother never regard her as her own family, and even places like the treasury have to guard against her? !

Look at what Jia Mu said, the things in the treasury will inevitably have her share in the future?joke!She is the eldest daughter-in-law, and Jia She is the eldest son. In the future, the title of Rongguo Mansion must belong to his eldest wife. According to the etiquette, most of the family wealth of Rongguo Mansion should be inherited by his eldest wife, especially those in the treasury. Savings, in order to inherit the wealth of the Rongguo Mansion's direct lineage, it is likely that all, at least [-]% should be inherited by the big family.Have her share?Ha, does Mother Jia really think she is a fool?Could it be that she is still pointing to the future that the contents inside will be divided equally, one for the first room and one for the second room?Can I share a share with Jia Min who is married? !

Suppressing the anger and returning to her own yard, Mrs. Zhang sat on a chair, made no secret of her displeasure, and complained directly to Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Su: "Master and Mrs. have no partiality. Look at who Marrying a daughter, will you pay for all the good things passed down by the family ancestors? Not to mention, the dowry of the sister-in-law in front is full of 86, and the dowry of the Lin family is added. There are ten miles of red makeup. Pick out a set of ruby ​​jewelry made in the former court, and come out with famous calligraphy and painting antiques, how much is that worth?" Covering his face, he said dejectedly, "The master and wife are like this to my sister-in-law, what about my second brother? Is it true that the entire inner treasury is Evacuated to fill him?"

Mama Kim Su Mama was speechless.Jia Daishan and Jia's mother never concealed their preference for Jia Zheng, not to mention, what Zhang said could really happen.The two old men were afraid that they might be really happy, so they handed over the large property in the mansion to Jia Zheng, so as to make up for his lack of success.

Mrs. Zhang has never felt so tired before: "In the treasury today, my wife guarded me like a thief! Be careful, lest I see how many good things are in the treasury!" This is not mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, It is clear that she is an outsider. "In the past, I only knew that my wife and master were biased, but I couldn't prevent it from being partial. Today I can open the treasury for my sister-in-law's marriage, and then I can open the treasury for my younger brother... The second brother hasn't won the exam yet. If he really wins..." Jia Daishan has been looking forward to it all his life. The only thing is that someone in the Rongguo Mansion can get an official through the imperial examination, and they have high hopes for Jia Zheng.It is conceivable that Jia Zhengyao really got the job, and Jia Daishan was able to praise him to the sky.If things go on like this, how can there be any way for her big family to survive?

Mrs. Zhang was angry and worried, and the people around her were also anxious. Mother Chen discussed with Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Su every day how to persuade Mrs. Zhang to relax. When he turned around to serve Jia Hu, he couldn't help showing a little air.

Jia Hu frowned.Every family, in order to ensure the inheritance of the family and establish the prestige of the heirs, has always handed over most of the ancestral property to the heirs, and let everyone know that although they are of the same blood, the heirs are better than them. Everyone takes the heir of the patriarchal line as the leader to ensure the status of the direct branch.

At this moment, Jia Daishan's behavior is a case of forgetting public affairs for personal reasons.Because he felt sorry for his daughter, he passed on the ancestral property to his younger daughter. Although it was just some small jewelry and antiques, it seriously set a precedent.As Mrs. Zhang said, today he can set a precedent for Jia Min. How can he know that Jia Daishan and Jia Mu will simply change the family rules for Jia Zheng in the future?

Jia Hu can be considered to have found the source of the indiscriminate distinction between big and small servants in the Rongguo Mansion, isn't it just Jia Daishan and Jiamu?

It's just that no matter how angry he is, he is only a child now, and even Jia She is just a dispensable uncle in the mansion. If he wants to shake the thoughts of Jia Daishan who is at the peak of power, it will be difficult to reach the blue sky.

However, although Jia Daishan and Jia's mother cannot be changed, it is still no problem to influence Jia Amnesty.

When Jia Hu was studying with Jia She that day, he asked a little aggrieved and confused: "Father, does the wife not like me?"

Jia Amnesty was explaining Tang poems to Jia Hu, and was taken aback when he heard the words: "How do you say that? Hu'er, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Jia Hu lowered her little head, feeling very listless: "That's how it is, every time I go to greet my wife, she just looks at me lightly, but when Brother Zhu comes, the wife will be very happy and smile happily." I am very happy, and I will put my arms around Brother Zhu and ask him if it is hard to study, and if he is hungry and needs to eat? But he never asked me."

"..." Jia She was silent for a while, stroking his son's little head, Jia Hu liked it the most when he touched him like this, and was very happy every time, but this time it didn't work, Jia Hu looked up at him, Shrunken mouth, bowed his head and did not speak.Jia She sighed, his heart was heavy and he was so bored.He naturally knew that Jia's mother liked Jia Zhu more than Jia Hu, but he didn't expect that Jia Hu would be so sensitive, and he could see this at a young age... Yes, he is his son, isn't he?Thinking back then, didn't he realize that his parents favored his younger brother more than himself?They are connected by blood, and this sensitivity is naturally inherited from him.

Here Jia She is thinking about how to comfort Jia Hu, while Jia Hu said in a muffled voice: "Mother is preparing the dowry for my aunt. She works very hard every day. I go to pay my respects to mother at night. She looks very tired. But If the mother does not do well in one thing, the wife and aunt will be very upset and face the mother with a straight face." She raised her head and looked directly into Jia She's eyes, "Didn't the mother try her best? No Have you done everything you can do the best? My father used to say that as long as I try my best to study, even if I don’t read well, I don’t blame me. Why does my mother try so hard for my aunt, but my aunt still blames my mother? Why does my wife and aunt Don’t you thank my mother for your hard work? Didn’t you teach me that others help me to be good to me, no matter what the result is, just for this kind of heart, should I express my gratitude? Why is the way my wife and aunt did not match what you taught? no the same?"

Jia Amnesty was stunned and tongue-tied, speechless for a while.Could it be that he wants to tell his youngest son that because your wife and aunt don't want to see him, the eldest son and brother, they don't even want to see Mrs. Zhang?Could it be that he wants to tell his youngest son that because your wife and aunt are used to ordering the big house around, they don't pay attention to the big house at all, so naturally they can't see the energy that Mrs. Zhang has put in?

Jia Hu sat on the chair, her small face was filled with grievance and bewilderment, sad and puzzled, but she didn't know why.Suddenly, Jia Amnesty seemed to see himself more than ten years ago, crying and nestling in his room, hugging the nurse and crying, asking why my parents didn't like me, why did my grandfather like my younger brother more than me? ...

On March 21st, the Lin family invited Mrs. Han, Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Quan Fu, Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Xiuguo, who had four sons and daughters with their parents-in-law. Respectfully go to Jia's house to hire.The book of ceremonies was sent to Mother Jia and others in the backyard, and when they were opened to read, there was a dense and long string, which made people's eyes warm.Mother Jia laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, hugging the blushing Jia Min for a while, feeling reluctant to part with her.Mrs. Zhang stood in the corner with a polite smile, while Mrs. Wang was leaning on the couch with her stomach in her arms, her eyes flickered, and her eyes were full of jealousy...
