Aristocratic family's career in the Red Chamber

What happened next was inquired by Chen's mother.

Hanmo personally went to the south side room that Shi Lei mentioned. The ice cubes there had all melted, and the hot sun was baking. Sweating profusely, it is impossible to calm down and do needlework here.Moreover, Hanmo also found that the spices burned in it were very strange, and it made people feel dizzy after smelling too much.

Jia Daishan listened to what Jia Hu and Mrs. Zhang said, and now that Hanmo has personally verified what they said was true, Jia Daishan naturally believed in the people around him and his wife and grandson more, so he immediately began to interrogate Shilei.At first, Shi Lei was very stubborn, saying that she didn't know anything, that she got the ice cubes only after she gave bribes to the people in the warehouse, and that she devoted herself to sewing, but she was almost raped by Jia She.

Jia Daishan is not a good-natured person. He interrogated Shi Lei and refused to say anything, so he simply used the punishment. Just before the family law of beating Jia Amnesty was withdrawn, Jia Daishan asked Hanmo to do it, and greeted Shi Lei directly. After being threatened by Shilei's family, Shilei is a woman after all, and she couldn't stand the torture, so she could only admit that it was she who was obsessed with ghosts for a while, and wanted to cling to Jia She, but she was afraid that Jia She was just a novelty for a while, so she came up with an idea. This drama of framing made Jia She feel guilty towards her, so that she could earn a title for herself. The concubine didn't dare to think about it, but she also wanted the title of an aunt, no more than a housekeeper or a servant. I don't even notice it.

No one in the Jia She Zhang family would believe these words, even Jia Daishan was very skeptical, and asked her where she got the incense and why the servants disappeared, Shi Lei said that although she entered the mansion not long ago, But Mother Jia likes it very much. Relying on the things that Mother Jia bestowed, she got to know some people very well. She grew up outside, so she naturally has some skills. , she planned early, and Jia Mu was not in good health these few days, so she used excuses to make soup for Jia Mu, plant flowers, fetch things, tidy up the warehouse... she found a bunch of excuses to send everyone away. "My wife is not feeling well, and everyone close to me is around to serve her. Those maids and women who guard the yard are just third-class envoys. As soon as I said that and gave some more money, they all left obediently. My wife is not feeling well, the front yard Few people come here, even if there are fewer people for a while, no one will say anything." Shi Lei said.

Ask her some more details, Shi Lei also speaks in a decent way, even how much money she took to bribe those sweeping maids, what she said and when she did it are all clear.Although Jia Daishan and others had doubts, they couldn't find anything wrong with her clear answer.As for whether there is someone behind her, and whether she intends to smear Jia She, Shi Lei categorically denies it: "The servant is just a momentary selfishness, why would she want to harm the master?" Yes, she can live well only if Jia She lives well, so how can she go out and assassinate Jia She?

These words are quite reasonable, although Mrs. Zhang still didn't believe it, Jia Daishan and Jia Amnesty accepted it.In the end, because of her misconduct, Shi Lei secretly plotted to seduce her master, and was beaten twenty times. She and her whole family were sold out together. generous.

In contrast, although Jia Amnesty cleared himself of the crime of intimidating his mother and maidservants, he was played by a girl on the top of applause, and almost fell to the ground. In Jia Daishan's view, he was undoubtedly incompetent Performance.Although he was not punished afterwards, his attitude towards Jia Amnesty was obviously different than before.Of course, he liked Jia Hu and Jia Daishan even more.

But Jia Hu was not happy at all.

Jia Hu has always been proud and arrogant, and when he came to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan was the only one he was on guard against, but this time, he was scolded so hard by Jia Mu, who had never looked at him seriously, that he almost wiped out the whole family. The house was paid for. To Jia Hu, this was like a slap on the face. It didn't hurt very much, but it was definitely a great shame.

"It's just that I don't understand, what good can my wife do if she does such a thing?" Jia Hu really didn't understand this.To say that Jia She and Jia Zheng are her own sons, and now it seems that Jia She has been treated favorably, but she is still very filial and obedient to Jia Daishan and Jia Mu, but why is Jia Mu completely ignoring Jia? Amnesty, only for Jia Zheng?Just like this time, although Mother Jia removed all irrelevant people in advance, even if Jia Amnesty was successfully framed, in the end, only a small number of people knew about this scandal, and finally did not magnify the incident. But this cannot conceal the fact that Jia Mu, the head wife, wanted Jia Daishan to dislike Jia She, the eldest son.Jia Hu couldn't understand such an indifferent mother-child relationship.

Chen's mother has served Jia Hu these days, and she has long seen that Jia Hu's intelligence is different from ordinary children, and she respects him very much, so she told Jia Hu about the old things in Rongguo Mansion.

"The old Duke was fighting everywhere in the past, and the master was born relatively late. The husband of the Duke's wife has been away for many years, and she has only one son under her knees, so she values ​​the master very much. Later, the master married his wife, and the wife of the Duke must be difficult for the wife. The old lady was born in a humble family, and the wife was somewhat dissatisfied. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become extremely bad. The master also joined the army when he was young, and the wife has been childless for many years. In the eyes of the old lady, it is another A crime is even more harsh on the wife. The wife is holding her breath, but she can't tell the difference at this point, she can only swallow her breath. After the uncle was born, the wife can finally hold her head high, but the old lady has been looking forward to her grandson for many years. As soon as she landed, she was carried to the old lady to be raised. During the confinement period, the wife cried out to see the child every day, but the old lady was not happy, and said that the wife was weak and it was better to see the child less. After getting better, the old lady seldom let the wife look after the uncle, and only raised her by herself. Although they are mother and son, but they rarely see each other, isn't there a lack of affection? What's more, the old lady is dissatisfied with his wife, who has been carrying People say bad things about the wife, the uncle is young, so he learned a few words, and the wife heard it by chance, and felt that the uncle kissed the old lady, and his thoughts on the uncle faded."

"At this time, the master has completely retired from the army, and the wife is pregnant with the second master. The master was away all year round and owed his wife too much. When the wife was pregnant with the second master, the master was very considerate and caring. Whenever the old lady made things difficult, he would also It was blocked by the master, so it was a rare and comfortable time for the wife to conceive. When the second master was born, and I personally watched the child born, I would love him more. It was the master who saw the second master fall to the ground with his own eyes. I have to be more concerned about the second master."

"Although the old lady loves her grandson very much, she is old and can't help spoiling her grandson. The uncle doesn't like reading, so the old lady can't help it. Slowly, the second grandfather is getting better and better, but the uncle is getting more and more backward. In the end, even the old man The Duke also said that the second master was more promising. For this reason, the old lady was also reprimanded by the old master, saying that she spoiled the uncle. After that, the wife taught the second master more carefully, and kept the uncle in check. The old Duke also likes the second master more and more, and he doesn’t like the uncle, and even the old lady is repeatedly slapped by the old Duke..." Chen Mama stopped in a bit of a dilemma, and said embarrassedly, "This is also from my house. Hearing from old people, some places may not be right, bro, don’t take it to heart.”

Jia Hu waved his hand: "It's okay, Mom will continue."

Seeing that he didn't seem angry, Mother Chen was a little relieved, and continued talking.

"After the uncle became governor, his attitude towards his wife became better and better, but the wife has been estranged from the uncle for too long, and she has lost much affection. With the birth of Miss Min, she became even more estranged and indifferent towards the uncle. The old lady knew that she was not in good health. Seeing that the old masters and wives seem to like the second master more than the uncle, before he died, he made the old master swear that no matter how good the second master is, he will never allow the elder to be abandoned in the future, and let the second master Xi Jue also made the old man to make a solemn oath that he must choose a gracious and virtuous grandma for him to help him. Even in the end, the old lady’s private house, except for a small part, was given to the old man and the second. Yes, I gave it all to the uncle. My wife can't help but feel that the old lady is deliberately suppressing the second master, and she went to the old lady. The wife can't blame it. The uncle has been growing up beside the old lady. If the wife is so angry, she can't blame it. ..." came from the uncle.

How can a mother not love her child?Pregnant in October, feeling him growing up little by little in the womb, Jia She is still the eldest son that Jia's mother has been looking forward to for many years, how can you not love it?It’s just that the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is too sharp. The old lady only wanted to overwhelm her daughter-in-law and raised her grandson herself, but she didn’t think about the future of the grandson. For Jia Min, the already weak maternal love for Jia Amnesty is naturally even less.

Looking back, I found that the son I raised was better than the old lady's child. Because of this excellence, the old lady who had always suppressed her was reprimanded by the old man, and Jia's mother was very happy.The resentment caused by her mother-in-law for a long time naturally made her forget that Jia Amnesty was also her son, or, she still remembered this, but she just felt that a child, even if he suffered some grievances, was fine, so she continued this brotherhood The gap between them made Jia Zheng overwhelm Jia Amnesty everywhere, thereby embarrassing the old lady.Gradually, things like promoting Jia Zheng and suppressing Jia Amnesty were done a lot. Jia's mother got used to it, and she no longer felt that it was not good for Jia Amnesty. Instead, she felt that it was normal. He is better than Jia She!

As a result, before the old lady died, she suppressed Jia Zheng for Jia's amnesty, which naturally made Jia's mother unbearable.Mother Jia couldn't blame a dead person, so she had to take her anger out on Jia Amnesty.

"The relationship between the old lady and the wife is so bad?!" Just to suppress the old lady, Jia's mother even ignored her own son.Jia Hu shook her head, how much Mother Jia hated the old lady.

Mother Chen paused, although she felt that Jia Hu might not understand it when she was young, but then she thought that Jia Hu was so smart, she might not understand it, so she hesitated for a while, and said: "The old man in the mansion said that in ancient times, there was a mention of It is said that the old lady once wanted to give her niece from her natal family to the master as a second wife, but the master said that she was going to go to the battlefield and pushed it away... Later, when the master came back from the army, the old lady gave the master some aunts. Now Aunt Huang, the birth mother of the eldest aunt who married far away, was the girl who served the old lady by her side..."

Jia Hu was silent for a while, then nodded, so that's the case, but it's no wonder that the old lady's hand can be stretched too long...

Mother Chen sighed: "Back when grandma was going to marry into the mansion, the old lady was worried and ordered people to inquire about the old affairs in the mansion. That's why I know these things so well. Looking at it coldly over the years, the wife really treats the uncle with nothing but a trace of blood. , but it’s better than strangers, compared to the second master and Miss Min... oh~"

Jia Hu pursed her lips, tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and sneered: "Grandmother is the wife and daughter-in-law of the house, and the old lady is the elder. Although she made things difficult for her, she used her father to attack the old lady. See the glory!"

Chen's mother nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not." Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been at odds for a long time, and she has never seen anyone who is as cruel as Jia's mother to her son.As for the disrespect towards Jia's mother in Jia Hu's words, Chen's mother is a person close to Zhang's, and she doesn't like Jia's mother at all, let alone think that Jia Hu's words are wrong.

Jia Hu's eyes were gloomy: "Father has been filial to his wife all these years, but looking at this incident, the wife does not necessarily have the slightest bit of motherly affection for father. I just think of my father being treated by my grandfather." I felt so uncomfortable and panicked!" Jia Hu really remembered Jia She's thoughtful eyes when he stated what was wrong with Shilei, and he might not have noticed something wrong in his heart, but in the end he still chose to believe it. Based on Shi Lei's remarks, it can be seen that she has really deep feelings for Jia's mother.It's just that Mother Jia treats him...

Mother Chen felt distressed when she saw it, and comforted her: "My brother is pure filial piety, if the uncle knows about it, I'm not sure how happy I am."

Jia Hu just shook his head: "Father has been wronged so much, how can a son of man turn a blind eye? My wife didn't like me in the past, but it's okay to bully my parents, but I don't agree."

Although Chen's mother believed that he was intelligent, precocious and sensible, and could know right and wrong, she didn't believe that he was capable of fighting against Jia's mother. She was shocked when she heard this, and said, "What do you want to do? I'll tell you about it." These past events are just to tell you that my wife is not very close to the uncle, so you have a solid foundation in your heart, I don't want you to act impulsively!"

"Mom, don't worry, am I such an impulsive person?" Jia Hu looked at her with a smile and asked, "I just want to ask, is Linglong still with mother?"
