The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 70

Don't underestimate the means of the women in the inner house, Jia Min's handkerchiefs have helped her a lot...

Although there are rich families like the Lin family who are harmonious from top to bottom, and there are Jia family who are miserable on the inside but insist on maintaining their dignity on the surface, but in fact there are also some families who are really unable to continue and even maintain their dignity.

After Jia Min’s former sister-in-law Zhang’s natal family fell, Zhang’s little cousin who had a good relationship with Jia Min returned home with her parents and married. He was admitted as a Jinshi to become an official, but he also has the status of being a scholar. Now he is teaching in an academy on the Jiangnan side to prepare for the Jinshi exam.

Her husband's family name is Li, but it is an ordinary local gentry family. The people in the clan are only thinking about studying. As for making her husband dignified, he has to earn a living by himself instead of studying at home.

Mrs. Zhang married the third son of the former head of the family. Although the Zhang family suffered a lot due to the turbulent relationship in the court incident, her ability to study has not been left behind. With the help and teaching of the Zhang family, Xiao Zhang Mrs. Zhang's husband is also making rapid progress in his studies, and he won the Juren in his 20s, which can be regarded as a bright future.

The so-called Thirty Old Mingjing and Fifty Young Scholars, although my husband is now in his thirties and has not yet passed the Jinshi exam, but just one Juren name is enough for him to be supported by the whole family in the Li family. The reason why he came to Jiangnan Sitting in the library to teach is just because Mu Jiangnan's style of writing came to be influenced, and it was also because of a small change in the family.

——An accident that has nothing to do with his family.

Although Mrs. Wang and Jia Min were in the same situation at the beginning, she had a good relationship with Mrs. Zhang, the eldest sister-in-law. Although Mrs. Zhang was six or seven years younger than Jia Min, it did not prevent the two of them from having a little relationship. With a bit of friendship, now that Xiao Zhang is in the south of the Yangtze River, even though she is no longer the scholarly lady of the Zhang family, she still has to keep in touch with her friends in the girl.

It has been many years since the Zhang family left the top social circle, and Xiao Zhang actually didn't have much hope for resuming their original friendship. The reason why the Li family hired Xiao Zhang in the first place was not because of this, but because they valued Zhang. The family's scholarly family and the Zhang family's upbringing of their children.

When Xiao Zhang and Jia Min got in touch, it was the time when the Lin family had the best life, and then they kept a kind of friendship that was not far or close, and didn't want to ask for anything by virtue of the original friendship, just chatting It was just talking about things in the capital back then, but it made the two of them chat better, and it can be regarded as connecting with the friendship they had when they were in their mother's house.

Just as the relationship between Mrs. Zhang and Jia Min is very good, Mrs. Zhang and her sister-in-law are also quite friendly.Her mother-in-law gave birth to three sons and a daughter. Except for Erlang who was a concubine, the rest of the family were all born to her mother-in-law, and the brothers and sisters were quite harmonious.Her sister-in-law was married well if she only talked about her husband's future. Her husband was quite motivated and passed the Juren examination, and then became a small official with the help of the teacher at the time—and then basically became the so-called Bo The story of the lover's story is the same. The girl from the Li family was driven back to her natal family for inexplicable reasons with her child, and died of depression within a few years, while her husband-in-law relied on clinging to his nepotism to act as a raiser. He became a small official and married a noble wife who could help him in his official career.

Then the Li family took in the child logically.

In the first few years, there were actually no problems. After all, the girl from the Li family was kicked out by her husband's family for some unspoken reasons.Her original husband's family, Zheng's family, had a good marriage and let her former husband marry the daughter of his master's family, who was having a hard time getting married after the flowering period, so naturally she would never think of this next wife. My child, I'm afraid I will hinder my wife's eyes.Who knew that the girl didn't know the reason, and she didn't have children for several years after she married. Later, when she found a doctor to see her, she only said that she didn't seem to be able to bear children.Although the Zheng family is not considered a small family, but the husband-in-law of the girl from the Li family is the only son in the family, and he has no direct brothers. Even if he is adopted, he can only find a family with a distant blood relationship. Naturally, he is very unwilling. I don't want to, I don't want to give up the incense, but the married wife is a bit jealous and doesn't allow him to take a concubine. In desperation, he still thinks of the child he used to be.

And this time it was the turn of the Li family to be reluctant - don't look at the fact that the Zheng family changed their family name and changed their households to be regarded as an official family, but the previous transaction had obviously offended the Li family to death.Even if the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Li family is not counted, it is impossible for them to bow their heads and shake hands with the Zheng family for the sake of the so-called innocence of the scholars.

So, Li Sanlang simply took the opportunity of coming to Jiangnan to come out with his wife, children and nephew.

Li Sanlang is the only Juren in the Li family's generation. If he didn't think about continuing to take the entrance examination, he would not be able to get an official position after careful study as a Juren, and he couldn't be regarded as an ordinary person. As a commoner, he is quite decent.Thinking about it, as long as he doesn't stay under the Zheng family's nose, the Zheng family can't actually snatch someone from him.

Especially seeing that Xiao Zhang tried to connect with a few old friends of her natal family. Although the Li family is not very rich, there are not many people who are willing to continue friendship with Xiao Zhang, but there are only a few of them. Basically, they are all dignified wives from official families. With this intangible decency, the Zheng family dare not take action lightly, and can only think about winning by etiquette.

When Mrs. Li was kicked out, her elder brother was already five years old and entered the genealogy. He was considered a serious Zheng family.These days, even divorced wives and stopped wives, in fact, it is rare to push out their own children and grandchildren. It's just to separate out people who don't want to see, although he was followed by his mother in order not to disturb people's eyes. People drove him out, but he was actually still on the Zheng family's genealogy. If the Zheng family really wanted to take him back in the name of the clan, the Li family had nothing to do but admit it honestly.

Brother Zheng’s single name is Chong, but he actually obtained his name according to the rules of the Zheng family. At that time, the Zheng family did not expect that the newly married wife would not be able to give birth, so it was combined with the household registration at that time. They all moved out with the girl from the Li family, because when he was born, he was registered as a legitimate son, so it was clearly written on his household registration that his mother belonged to the Li family.

In other words, unless the Zheng family intends to take the tablet of the girl from the Li family back and confess it as the original spouse, the Li family also has the right not to let anyone go-a pair of tablets is not a big deal, but the Zheng family's current The wife is used to being unruly, how could she allow the daughter of a gentry family to overwhelm her.Although she reluctantly agreed to bring Zheng Chong back under her father's persuasion, she could not allow the girl from the Li family to come back, even if it was a memorial tablet. Come back in the name of the bastard.After all, she felt that she was still young, and she might be able to have children in the future, so why should she give up the position of the eldest son.

So things got tense for a while.

No matter what the outcome of this kind of dispute is, if Zheng Chong, the person involved, is involved, one of them is his biological father after all. According to the saying of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness these days, it will always be bad for his future reputation. This is the follow-up of Li Jiasanlang taking Zheng Chong out.

Mrs. Zhang's own children's fate is not bad. She has already given birth to two sons and two daughters, plus a nephew from her sister-in-law's family. The big mansion was packed to the brim.

There are a lot of people in the family, and it is unavoidable to be a little negligent in many cases, especially now that their masters living here are not too small, it is impossible to arrange service for everyone like ordinary rich and noble families. It is inevitable that the children will learn a lot of news that they should not have known.

For example, Zheng Chong is not ignorant of the conflict between his biological father and his grandfather's uncle's family, he even knows what the Zheng family's plans are.Another example is that when the third aunt's natal family was in the capital, they also seemed to know some noble people. They were all people who hadn't been in touch for more than ten years, but now they barely made contact.

Zheng Chong is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, he is already thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is not ignorant of how difficult things are with him.Unless his father's current wife can suddenly conceive and give birth to a son, even his father's current high-ranking Taishan will only think that it is a good thing to raise a son in the son-in-law's house so that the daughter can enjoy sacrifices in the future.As long as the Zheng family nodded and allowed his mother's tablet to go back, he would have to go back even if he didn't want to go back.

Although juren is not as rare as a Jinshi, as long as you pass the examination, you can become an official. It has a bright future, so the official position of a person who can be a juren teacher in a government cannot be low.And now the Zheng family still has the advantage of etiquette, unless the Li family can really find someone with a similar official position to protect him, otherwise the ending is obvious, and the Li family must naturally be incomparable - although the third aunt is now It seems that I know some noble people here, but this kind of favor is only used once. It's not like my aunt doesn't have her own children, so how can he deserve such a big favor from my uncle's family for his affairs.

So after eavesdropping on Xiao Zhang and Li Sanlang sighing about the Lin family, he picked up his household registration and road guide, packed up some clothes and loose silver and went out, and then really spent four days running Came to Yangzhou City to find the official residence of the Xunyan Yushijia.

The author has something to say:

Sister Bao's husband-in-law has come out...

It feels like I've spilled a big pot of dog blood...

But there is no other way, generally speaking, people with promising prospects will not be a son-in-law, and I don't want to choose a too unbearable one for Sister Bao, so let's do it...
