Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

Walking in the vast desert, all I can see is the desolate yellow. The sun has come out. Although it is not yet noon, the scorching heat is already quite intense. In this land without any moisture, the yellow The sand quickly warmed up. Even wearing thick cowhide boots, you can still feel the warmth under your feet.

Jia Hu knew that everyone's endurance had reached a certain limit, if they couldn't find the oasis...

He glanced sideways at the guide Bu He who was leading the way. Bu He seemed to know what he wanted to say, and before he could speak, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my lord. After crossing this dune, there is an oasis behind."

The casual lieutenant general Dong Zhong didn't believe it, and called "General" in a low voice. Jia Hu raised his hand, stopped his words, and shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone, please work harder and climb over this sand dune. Behind is the oasis. I know that everyone is tired and thirsty. When we arrive at the oasis, we will have water to drink and sit under the shade to rest. Soldiers, work harder, grit your teeth and persevere. alright."

Jia Hu's prestige in the army is still very good, and the people brought out this time are all his own soldiers, since he said so, no matter how tired the soldiers are, they must cheer up.Jia Hu looked at Bu He seriously: "You know what to do." If the oasis never came, those soldiers already had a grudge against foreigners like Bu He, and then...

Bu He nodded again and again: "My lord, don't worry, we will be there soon."

Facing the increasingly hot sun, everyone walked forward step by step with chapped lips. The yellow sand was very loose. Every step they stepped on, their feet sank into the sand, and they had to work hard to lift their feet—this was even more shocking. Every step of walking made me more tired.

By the time they crossed the dunes, the soldiers were so tired that they didn't even have the energy to speak.

Simply cloth and really did not lie, standing on the sand dunes like small hills, looking at the distance not far below, a small green oasis appeared in the eyes, in the yellow sand and the monotonous blue sky, it seemed Very eye-catching.

The fatigue of the soldiers dissipated immediately, and their lips trembled excitedly, crying and laughing: "It's an oasis, my God, it's an oasis!!"

Needless to say anything, Jia Hu pointed forward: "Soldiers, head towards the oasis, charge!"

"Come on!"

With endless joy, the soldiers tried their best to run and jump towards the oasis. Following Buhe's guidance, they found a small pool and surrounded it completely. Cold water, drink it like a hunger and thirst...

There is still no news from Jia Hu. Although Mrs. Zhang tried her best to eat under Jia Lian's persuasion, she only took a few mouthfuls. This is a stagnation in the heart, and it must be taken care of.

There is no way, the big and small affairs of the family can only be taken care of by Mrs. Zhou. The other trivial things are okay. Mrs. Zhou is used to doing it on weekdays, so it is not difficult. trouble.

After all these years, Jia Mu was suppressed by Jia Shezhang's ruthlessly. Although she is still the old lady in the mansion in name, the most expensive person in the mansion, she did not treat her badly except for food and clothing. Mother Jia has nothing to do with the rights.

Jia Shezhang's face-saving skills are very good, and she never fails to greet her every day, but Jia's mother really wants to do something, such as asking him to help Jia Zheng, pull Jia Zhu, and let Wang's visit on weekdays Come... Jia She Zhang promised well, but when he turned around, he didn't move at all.After so many years, Jia Amnesty has been very successful in the antique circle, and he has made many rich and noble friends, and has a very wide network of contacts. Let's just talk about Jia Lian. Relying on his father and his brother, he can eat everywhere, sometimes there is a small party at home, a group of friends come over, everyone is either rich or expensive.

Jia's mother is jealous. The son she loves the most is Jia Zheng, and the grandson she loves the most is Baoyu first, and Jia Zhu next. But Jia Hu and Jia Lian, who are close to her here, have a better life than her beloved grandson. .Mother Jia couldn't feel at ease. Her beloved youngest son, Jia Zheng, had been working as a member of the Ministry of Industry for five or six years.But the problem is that she can't do anything about it at all. She wants all three of Jia She and his son to pull out the second room, but the problem is that apart from Jia Zhu and Jia She, there is no prejudice. Jia Zheng and Jia She are almost irreconcilable. Baoyu was still a child, and Mother Jia wanted them to pull...

After so many years, Jia's mother ate and drank every day in the mansion, and was oppressed by Mrs. Zhang. Every day became more and more unsatisfactory. She had no choice but to put all her thoughts on Jia Baoyu. The love of this little grandson is getting stronger every day.In the past two years, Jia She has given birth to a concubine, Jia Cong, but in Jia Mu's place, even Baoyu's vellus hair can't match—even if he is a concubine, he is also his own, so it's strange for Jia She to feel at ease.

After such a vicious cycle, when Jia Min passed away last year, when Lin Daiyu was taken to Beijing by Jia Mu to raise her, she faced a problem that she never thought about: her grandmother and eldest aunt were extremely at odds, and Jia Mu wanted to She placed her in the Xinuang Pavilion in her own yard so that she could be with Jia Baoyu, but Mrs. Zhang directly arranged for her to stay in Yingchun's yard.At that time, Daiyu didn't know what to do. At a young age, she was afraid that she would cause discord between her grandmother and aunt, and she would cry a lot behind her back. It was Jia She who made the final decision, so she lived with Yingchun: Baoyu looked very sad. I'm growing up soon, it's better for girls to live with girls.

For this reason, Jia's mother has even more serious opinions on Zhang.

Jia Hu is gone now?Jia's mother felt a little bit sad, after all, it was her grandson, but when she thought of Mrs. Zhang lying on the bed, Jia's mother couldn't help feeling happy again.

Should!You have today too!

For the first two days, Jia Mu didn't do anything, but after a few days, Zhang was depressed, and one night he caught a cold, and his condition became worse day by day, and he couldn't even get out of bed. My mind moved.

On this day, Mrs. Zhou was busy arranging the lost gift list of an old friend, but the servant at the other end came to pass on the message that Mrs. Jia had an invitation.The Zhou family has been married for a few years, and she is very clear about the discord between Jia Mu and Jia She Zhang, so she immediately called someone to ask: "Is there something happening in the mansion that I don't know about?" ?”

The four big girls under her were all puzzled, and Ji Xiang shook her head: "I haven't heard anything about it."

Mrs. Zhou asked her to investigate quickly, clean up by herself, and go to see Jia Mu quickly.

Ji Xiang was very quick in his work, and soon heard the news from the girl in Jia Mu's yard: "Damn the people in the big kitchen, it's dry in autumn, Miss Lin has a cough these days, the doctor prescribed tremella pears to moisten her lungs, and it's a bit of a pain." There are not many white fungus in the warehouse, and the people in the big kitchen don’t know what to say, so Zijuan went to get them today, but the kitchen didn’t make them at all!”

This is to say whether it is big or small, it can be said that the kitchen neglected its duty, and it was forgotten for a while, or it could be said that it did not pay attention to Lin Daiyu, a cousin, or more seriously, it was Zhou, who was a cousin. Yes, I didn't pay attention to jiaoke... Let's see, what happened to Jia's mother.

Mrs. Zhou pursed her lips: "Someone took the woman in charge of the kitchen out to make boards. If the materials are gone, she should report it to the warehouse. Who will allow her to make her own decisions?!"

Jixiang bowed his head, but Zhou's mood didn't get any better.Lin Daiyu is a kind-hearted person, but Mrs. Zhou knows that Jia's mother is not a kind-hearted person.

It would be strange if she didn't make a fuss about it!

Sure enough, when I went to Jia Mu's room, I saw Lin Daiyu standing in embarrassment. When she saw her coming, she stood up in a panic: "Sister-in-law is here."

Zhou knows that this cousin is most sentimental, and now she must feel that he has caused trouble for her and is uneasy.The little child, whose complexion was still pale due to congenital deficiency, and whose eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as jade, just looking at her uneasy look made her heart soften.Mrs. Zhou also liked this little cousin, so she immediately smiled at her heart and said, "I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time, and she is still such a cute little girl. Come to my sister-in-law and let me have a look. I can grow some flesh recently." No?" As he spoke, he smiled and pulled the person over, leaning over and laughing for a while.

But Mother Jia snorted coldly: "Growing meat? With the servant in the big kitchen with a screwball and white eyes, my Yu'er can still grow meat? It would be great if she didn't starve and lose weight!"

Lin Daiyu looked at her anxiously, and shouted: "Grandmother!" Obviously she didn't want Jiamu to continue talking.

But Mother Jia would never take such a good opportunity, but she patted the table and shouted: "Mr. Zhou, that's how you take care of the family affairs? Yu'er is a delicate guest who came to the house, how dare you ask the servants to be so negligent?" She. I'm still here, is it because I was gone that day, my granddaughter can't even eat in this mansion?!"

These words were harsh, Lin Daiyu's face turned red, and she bit her lips in anxiety, not daring to look at Zhou Shi.

From the bottom of Zhou's heart, there was a long sigh: Poor little girl, I always felt that I was careful when I was under the fence. Jia's mother was trying to vent her anger on her face, but in fact, she was making the little girl feel even more sad in her heart - but, Jia Mother did this not for the good of the little girl, but to use this incident to hurt herself.

Jia's mother said that Jia Min was her only daughter every day, and she regarded Lin Daiyu as Jia Baoyu, but when things came to an end, how could she really care about her granddaughter? !

Mrs. Zhou thought of her three-year-old son, Zhi Geer, and her heart softened into a puddle of water. She stood up and said to Jia's mother, "What the old lady said was that sister Lin was being neglected in the big kitchen. I also heard that the old lady who made the mistake has already been ordered to be punished, and the old lady can just order the punishment." Again, she apologized to Lin Daiyu, "It's because my sister-in-law didn't pay attention, and let those scumbags bully you My dear sister, please forgive my sister-in-law once more."

Lin Daiyu didn't dare to accept her gift, and hurriedly said: "What's the matter with my sister-in-law? You work hard every day for family affairs, and I should not ask you to worry about it. But a moment of negligence is nothing. If you are like this, then It killed me."

What a considerate little girl, Zhou sighed, that is, she lives in her natal family, if she lives in her own home, why would she have so many troubles!When I feel pity, I don't insist anymore, so as not to make people feel worse, I just sincerely apologize to Jiamu: "My grandson, I will definitely pay more attention in the future, and there will be no next time!"

Mother Jia snorted coldly: "Do you still want to have a next time? There are only a few masters in such a big family, and you haven't made any arrangements?! Don't worry about the big kitchen in the future. I still have a few old people by my side. , just take care of it, Yu'er's meals, I don't need you to worry about it in the future!"

With a blank mouth, is this going to take away the power of the big kitchen?

Zhou sneered again and again in his heart, but on his face he laughed: "How good is this? The old lady is getting old, and it is time to take care of her life. No matter how incompetent her granddaughter-in-law is, she will not dare to work for you! If you think The kitchen is not to my liking, Mama Chen is the most capable wife, or should I let her take care of it first?"

"What's the matter, you don't like the people around me?" Jia's mother didn't pay attention to Zhou's granddaughter-in-law at all, and thought that her seizure of power was a sure thing. Now that Zhou's face has been swept away, she hummed coldly He said, "Do you think that the people around me are not as good as Mama Chen who is around my wife?"

Zhou's naturally dare not talk about it.

Mother Jia made a decision and said, "Since this is the case, this matter is settled. Mother Chen will continue to serve your wife. Hu'er is gone, and your wife is sick like this again. There is no one around who you can leave!"

Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, "Old lady, you are serious. Although the wife is ill, there are many people around her. There is no shortage of Madam Chen, but there is Baoyu to take care of the old lady. There is no shortage of people. The big kitchen Over there, Mother Chen also helped his wife take care of it in the early years, and now she is quick to learn, she is a good helper of mine, you don't have to worry about it, old lady." Directly refuting Jia's mother's face, her words were also a little cold meaning. "As for the uncle," Zhou pushed back neither soft nor hard: "there is just some news from the other side of the uncle. The uncle is lucky and the sky is good. He will be safe and sound. The big and small things in this mansion, everything With me watching, the old lady just needs to feel at ease."

Speaking of this, Mother Jia naturally didn't distinguish between La Xiayan and his daughter-in-law, and just sneered: "Since you said so, then do so." She didn't need to give any face, and said coldly: "Are you Busy man, I won't keep you anymore!"

Naturally, Mrs. Zhou would not stay still with her face licked, and left with someone.

As soon as the backs of the people disappeared, Mother Jia followed Yuanyang Lai and said, "Look at the good daughter-in-law taught by the Zhang family, and guard me like a thief. Okay, if you don't want me to intervene, then don't be happy. I'm too lazy to move!" It was obviously an angry remark.

Lin Daiyu stood at the bottom, completely at a loss.

Jia Min passed away a year ago. Lin Ruhai thought to himself that he had no children. He had only one daughter. He was afraid that he would not be able to take good care of her, and the mother and eldest daughter would be left alone. It would be detrimental to her daughter's future marriage leave. When I arrived in the capital, I looked for Jia Mu Zhang to teach me, so I could ask the children to learn something.

It should be said that although Jia's mother has other thoughts about her granddaughter, she is still very good to her on weekdays, but in Lin Daiyu's heart, she prefers Zhang and Zhou who will teach her many truths, especially her and Baoyu. When we were together, Mother Jia preferred Baoyu more, but in the eyes of Zhang and Zhou, she was obviously better than Baoyu. Although Daiyu was young and smart, she was only a six-year-old child after all, so it’s okay if there is no comparison , as soon as there was a comparison, Jia's mother was ranked behind Zhang's and Zhou's—not to mention, Zhang's old reminded Lin Daiyu of her mother, how could she not be close?

Now Mrs. Zhang is sick and anxious, but Mrs. Jia is like this. Lin Daiyu, who has been adhering to the court training since childhood, did not say anything on the face, but shed a lot of tears behind her back. She turned around and went to Zhang's house, talking with her to relieve her boredom, and asked her to leave first. Urgently: "Big cousin is impatient, he will definitely be lucky!"

Mrs. Zhang sniffed: "I hope so!"

She doesn't care about wealth and fame, she is now praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless her son's safety!
