[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

After sending Jiamu away, Mrs. Xing fell ill.She was only 44 or 60 years old. When Mrs. Dong first came in, she was still black-haired, and people believed that she was in her early thirties.But in just over a year, her temples have turned gray, and she looks like a [-]-year-old woman.

Once Mrs. Xing fell ill, even Lin Daiyu and Tanchun got news and came to visit her every now and then. However, if you want to say that you really hope for Mrs. Xing's well, it must be Mrs. Zhang.

The marriage between Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng was annulled, and in law, Zhang is Jia Lian's original wife.But what stands between their husband and wife is the huge age difference, as well as Yan's and Yan's children.Jia Lian has a long-term temperament, and Yan has been with him for many years, which makes Zhang very uneasy. Even though she is Jia Lian's mother's cousin and protected by the national law and family law, she still cannot suppress the panic in her heart.More importantly, it has been 20 years since the Zhang family retired from the imperial court. Today's Zhang family is just a commoner, while the Yan family is a new family of officials. The head of the Yan family is still the fourth-rank prefect of Laizhou!

Therefore, more than anyone else, Mrs. Zhang hopes that Mrs. Xing will be well.Because Mrs. Xing is the current Mrs. Tai of the Qingronghou Mansion, and she is also the mother identified by the empress.

Mrs. Xing soon discovered Mrs. Zhang's panic. That day, inside the Rongqing Hall—after Jia's mother moved out with Jia Zheng, the Rongqing Hall remained empty. It was not until Jia's mother passed away and after her funeral that Mrs. Xing moved out. Come in - only their mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and confidant girl are left, Mrs. Xing motioned Mrs. Zhang to sit down on the edge of her bed, then she patted Mrs. Zhang's hand and said, "Don't worry, I will be fine."

"old lady?"

Zhang shi resisted panic and said.

Mrs. Xing smiled at Mrs. Zhang, and said, "Lian'er-in-law, I know you are worried. Yes, Lian'er's marriage has never been easy. Otherwise, the master wouldn't ask for help after more than ten years of tossing around. the Zhang family."

The master in Mrs. Xing's population naturally refers to Jia She.In fact, when Jia She was alive, he had always been the master of this magnificent Rongguo Mansion. It was not until after he passed away that Jia Lian was promoted to master and Mrs. Xing was promoted to old lady.

"You don't want to stay away from your mother because of this. My mother didn't expect the Yan family to come up so fast. If the Yan family first got up because they flattered your father-in-law and thus got your mother's favor, then later, it was Long Live who wanted to use the Yan family It's gone. It's impossible for the empress to fight against Wanzai."

"Yes, old lady, my wife knows."

The Zhang family is also familiar with the history of the Jia family.

After all, now that the Yan family has sent their daughter to the palace, to some extent, it is a betrayal of Jia Yan.Not to mention, now this is Empress Jieyu.

Mrs. Zhang has also heard of Jia Yan's declaration back then. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"It's good that you know." Mrs. Xing said, "You are still young, and Lian'er is also young. He will only be 40 years old when he is filial piety. You have a lot of time to have children. What you have to do now is to take good care of him. Good body. Then give me a white and fat grandson."

Mrs. Xing knows better than anyone that the indistinction between the concubine and the prostitute is the source of chaos in the family.But what can be done?Back then, the reputation of their Jia family was not good, and Jia Amnesty was far away from the old friends of the ancestors of the Rongguo Mansion, and not close to the Qingliu family. Credit, I'm afraid they will all be marginalized by the elite circles of the capital.

But even so, Jia Amnesty was also very worried about Jia Lian's marriage.People he doesn't like, naturally don't want to get married with them, but he likes them, but they don't like him.Some are worried that others will gossip, saying that they are clinging to the mother-in-law and Jia's family, some are seeing that Jia Lian already has two beautiful concubines, and they are reluctant to let the child be this ready-made mother; I'm afraid that if you don't form this relationship, you will lose your child's life...

Coupled with the rapid rise of the Yan family and Jia Lian's disappearance, Jia Lian's marriage was delayed year after year.

For Mrs. Xing, it is the result of the hard work of her husband and her daughter that the Jia family can have what it is today. Therefore, she absolutely does not allow anyone to destroy all this, even if this person is Jia Lian.

Mrs. Xing took the account books of the relationship between Qingronghou's mansion in the past, and planned to choose one of these people, recommend it to the empress, and go to Yan's family.

Mrs. Zhang naturally has the same idea as Mrs. Xing.After entering the door, Mrs. Xing took her with her. In name, Mrs. Zhang is the serious wife in this mansion, and this mansion should be under the management of Mrs. Zhang.And these days when Mrs. Xing fell ill, all the affairs in this mansion were taken care of by Mrs. Zhang and several nuns from the palace around Mrs. Xing. There was nothing about Yan Biju and Second Sister You at all.

Because she was with Mrs. Xing every day, Mrs. Zhang knew what Mrs. Xing was thinking better than others, so she naturally aligned with Mrs. Xing.

In other people's families, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law may be the natural enemies, but when it comes to them, they become closer because of the Yan family and Yan Biju.

On this day, Mrs. Zhang was in Rongqing Hall again, and suddenly saw Shi Xiangyun rushing in. He was still at the door, and he could already hear Shi Xiangyun's panicked voice: "Mrs., Mrs., quick, quick! Help! Baoyu! Baoyu is gone!"

Because he was too panicked, Shi Xiangyun forgot to change his words.

In Shi Xiangyun's mind, the old lady can only be Jia's mother.

Before Mrs. Zhang could react, Mrs. Xing had already narrowed her eyes.

Neither she nor Jia She really liked this girl who spoke out loud and pretended to be a fool with the name of being innocent and young.

Mrs. Xing said: "Hey, isn't this girl Yun? What's the matter? She's sweating profusely?"

Shi Xiangyun said: "Madam, it's bad, it's bad, Baoyu is gone!"

Mrs. Xing said: "Baoyu? But, doesn't he have his parents to take care of him? He's so good, why did he disappear?"

"It's really gone."

"Then report to the officer!"

"You, don't you care?"

Shi Xiangyun was dumbfounded.

Mrs. Xing said: "Girl Yun, can the second child and the second daughter-in-law over there send someone to look for it? Huan'er and Lan Xiaozi can bring someone out to look for it? If they want to, they should send someone to ask for help. Why are you running here?"

Shi Xiangyun was poured from head to toe like a basin of icy water, and his whole body felt a burst of cold air from the bottom of his heart, which froze all his limbs as if they were frozen: "Big, big wife, you, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Xing said: "I'm asking you, what about the second child and the second daughter-in-law? They are Baoyu's biological parents. Baoyu is lost. How do they react?"

If Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were really worried about this son, they might not be Shi Xiangyun who was sweating profusely at Mrs. Xing's Rongqing Hall.

Is Mrs. Jia Zhengwang really worried about Jia Baoyu's son?

People are always mutual.In the past, Jia Baoyu could still be said to be young, but how old is Jia Baoyu now?He was married!

His self-serving kindness had chilled Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's heart a long time ago.If it wasn't for this, Mrs. Wang would ignore him?

Seeing Shi Xiangyun's dumbfounded appearance, Mrs. Xing asked again: "Girl Yun, you said Baoyu was lost, and the second child is old. What about Huaner and Lanzi? Can you help me find it?" @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Shi Xiangyun said stupidly: "Huan'er went to find out the news, Lan'er..."

Shi Xiangyun really couldn't say it, because Li Wan's reaction at that time was even more shocking than Mrs. Xing's.

Mrs. Xing then said: "Yun girl, I know that you regard Baoyu as your own brother. But, Yun girl, you are not young. Is this what you plan to do for the rest of your life? I heard that a while ago, your mother-in-law treated her Your natal niece gave you a man as a concubine, are you not in a hurry?"

Shi Xiangyun was stunned.

She is no longer the child she used to be.Although she is married, she will be lonely all these years, guarding the small courtyard alone without a husband or children.And she is the one who is most afraid of loneliness.

Shi Xiangyun shivered violently.

She suddenly found that among the girls she knew in the past, it seemed that her life was the worst one:

The second sister has long been the most honorable woman in the world, and she has given birth to four princes and two princesses, which is naturally the best;

The three sisters also have a son and a daughter,

Sister Bao has two sons,

Qin girl also gave birth to a son.

Lin Daiyu, whom she was jealous of in the past, also gave birth to a son.

Even Second Sister You, whom she despises, has a daughter. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

It seems that she is the only one, and getting married is like not getting married.

Shi Xiangyun stood there stupidly for a while, then rushed out suddenly.Even Cui Ling couldn't catch up with her.

Shi Xiangyun came and walked quickly, and soon disappeared, but Jia Lian, who happened to come to greet Mrs. Xing, was taken aback:

"Mother, the little daughter-in-law who went out just now looks familiar!"

"Does it look familiar? That's Yun girl."

"Her?" Jia Lian was also quite surprised, "What happened to her?"

"It is said that Baoyu is missing."

Jia Baoyu disappeared, and the person who came to inform was not Mrs. Jia Zhengwang's side, but Shi Xiangyun. Jia Lian immediately understood what was going on.

Jia Lian said, "Mother, do you want your son to check?"

Mrs. Xing thought for a while, and said: "Look again. If there is no indication tomorrow, you can go to Jingzhao Mansion to ask."

"Yes, mother." Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mother, there is something that my son wants to ask mother to explain. It is about the children's study."

Mrs. Xing nodded, and said, "Then, what is your plan? Are you going to let them enter the Shi Ke or the Mining and Arithmetic?"

Jia Lian said: "Mother, I don't know how my father arranged it before he was alive? My son heard that all the subjects in the family school are mathematics?"

Mrs. Xing said: "Not all of them are in the Mingshu department, but most of them are in the Mingshu department. This is what your sister said in the past. It is said that the Jinshi department is a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops, instead of getting gray hair in the exam. I'm still taking the test, so I might as well go to the math department. With her as the queen, as long as she doesn't fail, no one will dare to use people from our Jia clan as scapegoats. Therefore, many of the boys in the clan are now jailed. After taking the photo, I went directly to the math department, and I became an official in my early twenties."

Although most of them are of the eighth rank, but after five or six years of accumulation, they are still released for state judgment.

Now the Jia family seems to be only Jia Lian from the second rank, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and Jia Yun are the fourth rank, but there are also many officials below the fifth rank, sixth rank, seventh rank, and eighth rank.

Jia Lian said stupidly: "Mother, this surveillance photo is not cheap."

Mrs. Xing said: "Yes, one is 300 taels. If you are a poor official, I am afraid that you will not be able to save the 300 taels of silver in your whole life. This money is paid by our two houses. The expenses of the family education are paid by the sacrifice land. .”

The production of the sacrificial fields, apart from being used for ancestor worship and the annual regulations of the clansmen, is naturally the expenditure of this family school.Not much left each year.Therefore, the surveillance photos of these 300 taels were issued by the eastern and western prefectures.This is also to allow more members of the Jia family to appear in the officialdom.

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, then said: "Mother, my son is still young, and he can protect the children below if he wants to. So, my son wants Mao'er to enter Shike."

"It's up to you to decide. After all, you are their father."

"This is also where my son is in trouble. My son wants them to enter Qingshan Academy."

There are several academies in Gyeonggi, but apart from Guozijian and Taixue, among the private academies, Qingshan Academy is the best, and Qingshan Academy is naturally the academy run by the Zhang family.The head of the Qingshan Academy is Zhang's great-grandfather.

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Xing.

After all, she was still young and couldn't hide her thoughts.

But Mrs. Xing said very plainly: "It's a good thing for them to have this ambition. However, Qingshan Academy can become one of the best academies in the capital, so there are naturally rules. As long as they can get in by their own ability, I will definitely Nothing else."

However, Jia Lian came to beg Mrs. Xing, naturally because he did not have enough confidence in his three children.

"Mother, the child is still young."

Mrs. Xing said: "Age is not a problem. It just so happens that we are observing filial piety. Let them take advantage of these few years to make them work harder! By the way, I remember when the empress was at home, but I asked Miss Lin to borrow the money back then. Wen Zhenggong's old books were copied down one by one. These books are all in the Tingtao Pavilion in the garden, and they are taken care of by a special person. Later, your son borrowed and copied them. Don't forget to put back the mother's copy. Then But what about your mother's handwriting?"

When Jia Lian heard about it, she was taken aback for a moment, then took half a step back and agreed.
