Official You's Family in the Red Chamber

Jia Zheng watched from the side and moved his mouth. After all, he didn't say anything. Jia's mother, who had already "fainted", was still lying on her back even though her eyes moved.

When everything is over, everyone will go back to their homes.

Back at Lixiangyuan, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were already there. Mother Jia "woke up" shortly after she was put on the bed. The king of the county, she pointed to it with a few court ladies, her daughter who was raised by gold and jade!

After hearing this, Jia's mother cried for Yuanchun's misfortune, and scolded Jia's amnesty for Jia Zheng's failure, which delayed Yuanchun.

Mrs. Xing felt uncomfortable when she heard this. If Yuanchun couldn't be elected, it was because of Jia Zhengguan's low opinion of her master.

When Jia Mu cried, everyone comforted her. When Jia Mu was tired, everyone dispersed.As for how uncomfortable Yuan Chun's biological mother, Mrs. Wang, was, no one knew, let alone comforted.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Mother Jia lay alone on the bed, thinking that Yuan Chun's move was useless, and now she had to wait for Baoyu to grow up before making plans, and thinking of the humiliation she suffered in the clan today, she was so angry that she never thought about herself. He has no status in the clan.

Mrs. Wang returned to her room and finally couldn't help crying, "My daughter!"

Jia Zheng was already upset when this incident happened, and when he saw Mrs. Wang crying again, he shouted, "Why are you crying? Didn't the patriarch say he would come forward? Forget it, I'm going to the front yard."

Seeing Jia Zheng leaving in a huff, Mrs. Wang could hardly cry. When Mrs. Wang was in despair, the servant girl came to report Jia Zhu's arrival.

"Mrs."

"My son! Your sister, your miserable sister!" Mrs. Wang seemed to have found her backbone all of a sudden, and couldn't help crying while holding Jia Zhu.

"Ma'am, ma'am, don't cry, what's wrong with my sister?"

Mrs. Wang repeated the matter intermittently with a nasal voice.

"Why did you send your younger sister to the palace? Uncle Jing said that Lian'er and I are not bad at learning, and that if I do well, I will definitely be selected as a Jinshi. Why should I send my younger sister to the palace, or a small selection?" Jia Zhu couldn't accept it. The teaching he had received since he was a child was to revitalize the Rongguo Mansion in the future. He had already worked very hard. Why did the family send his younger sister into the palace? Was it because he was still not doing well enough.

At this time, Mrs. Wang also forgot her greed at that time, and just followed Jia Zhu's words to think, yes, why did she send her daughter Xiaoxuan, why?It's all because of Mother Jia, and it's all for her honor! Mrs. Wang couldn't help but hate.

Jia Zhu was confused for a while and came back to her senses, "Madam, don't be sad. I'll ask my cousin, but it won't work. I will become an official in the future, and my sister's life will definitely get better."

"Okay, yes, yes, I'll go too, I'll go find your cousin." Mrs. Wang came to her senses, wiped her tears, called her maid and Jia Zhu, and went to Ning'anhou's mansion.

You Qingyuan was looking at the account book, when she suddenly heard someone report that Mrs. Wang was visiting, she thought for a while, and realized that it might be because of Yuan Chun's matter, so she hurriedly said: "Please hurry up".

Mrs. Wang was not a very talkative person, and she always put on airs. At the beginning, she loved her daughter very much, and she couldn't care about it for a while. Seeing You Qingyuan, she immediately realized her embarrassment, and she didn't know how to speak.

You Qingyuan didn't know why, and she didn't let Mrs. Wang be embarrassed, and said, "Auntie, sit down quickly." While asking someone to take a boiled egg for Mrs. Wang to rub her eyes, she said with concern, "Auntie too, I know you miss her very much. , but also pay attention to your own body!"

It took Mrs. Wang a long time to recover, and she opened her mouth and said, "I gave birth to such a daughter, but now I have such a fate. I... Oh, daughter-in-law Zhen, I beg you to talk to Brother Jing, I am so miserable." Daughter!"

"What did my aunt say? The uncle has already gone out to ask for help. Sister Yuan, we watched her grow up, so why don't you feel sorry for her? Alas, uncle is confused. Good daughter, why don't you marry me if you have the power of our Jia family?" A fourth-rank official family, or marrying into several old in-laws."

"Where is the master's idea? It's just the old lady who wants it!"

"Auntie said carefully, ah, no wonder I heard that the clan elders lost their temper?"

"I'm sorry, I just felt sorry for Yuan Chun for a while... What did the clan elders say?" Mrs. Wang was not stupid, so she hurriedly slowed down. The daughter-in-law said it was not good for her mother-in-law, but listening to You Qingyuan I couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, I only know a little bit. You also know that the clan is a place where we women have never interfered. Now the West Mansion is in charge, isn't Uncle She Tang and Uncle Zheng? Several girls in the family have talked about marriage recently, but it turned out badly. Ask the two uncles, but the two of them seem to know nothing, and the people in the clan are all pedantic and upright old people, so they will get angry."

What this means is that the clan elders don't want to see Mother Jia meddling in the affairs of the Jia family. Mrs. Wang thought to herself, "Oh, yes, the master has always been upright and doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the back house. He only pities my Yuanchun." , I don’t know what will happen.”

You Qingyuan also cried with Wang, and said slowly: "Auntie, don't be sad, the uncle has already gone to inquire, although it is a foregone conclusion to point to the King of Qi County, but in terms of status, the clan will always Use your strength, alas, I will go to the palace tomorrow to beg Qi Junwang's birth mother Concubine Li, there will always be a way."

You Qingyuan saw Mrs. Wang gradually regaining her strength, and changed the subject again: "Auntie, we are a family, so don't bother me if I talk too much about something."

"What's the matter? Where can I?" Mrs. Wang quickly replied.

"Auntie, oh, actually, I didn't think of this, it was my father-in-law who noticed it. I heard from our uncle that brother Zhu is a rare student who can study, and he must be promising in the future, but father-in-law is worried that brother Zhu is too serious about learning. Looking at the body, it’s not very good. If you spend more time and energy, how good is your body? It’s not good if you don’t have a good body in this scientific examination. In the past two years, our family entered the Jinshi examination. They have such a strong body. How long has it been? You'd better ask someone to take care of you."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she nodded quickly, but she hated her even more. Mother Jia ruined her daughter and took away her youngest son. The eldest son has always been filial and promising. Reading, she must not let them ruin her son again.

After sending Madam Wang away, You Qingyuan returned to the room and shook her head. She didn't think highly of Madam Wang's character, but as a mother, Madam Wang made her feel sorry for her. Thinking of this, You Qingyuan thought of Jia Mother, after what happened today, what would Jia She and Jia Zheng think?Jia Zhu's father-in-law is always provocative, and Mrs. Wang has been provoked by her again. Mrs. Xing has never been close to Jia's mother. It is estimated that Jia's mother will not be able to get up even if she doesn't lose power immediately in the mansion over there. I can live in peace.

When Mrs. Wang returned to the mansion, Jia Zhu had already arrived. Seeing Mrs. Wang hurriedly told her that Brother Zhen had gone out to contact people, and now he had to wait for the news. Mrs. Wang calmed down after running away, and did not mention Yuanchun. .

Instead, he took Jia Zhu's hand and said, "Zhu'er, how many days did you tell your wife that you usually study?"

"Madam, why did you think of asking this?" Jia Zhu's eyes were a little dodgy.

When Mrs. Wang saw that there was something she didn't understand, she covered her face and burst into tears, "Why is my life so hard? I don't know what happened to your sister. I can't see your brother since I was a child. Catch Zhou even more so." I grabbed a rouge, and there is only one left. You don’t want to lose your body now. If you have something good or bad, how do you want me to live? Woooo..."

Seeing Mrs. Wang crying, Jia Zhu was stunned. She even said that she was not filial and dared not do it anymore. The mother and son cried for a long time. It was not until Jia Zhu repeatedly promised that he would not harm her body that Mrs. Wang let him go back.

When Jia Zhu left, Mrs. Wang recalled the events of this day, and it was obvious that the clan had already annoyed the old lady. The old lady was showing off her power in the mansion just because of the filial piety of the master. When the old master was there, the family was divided. Looking at the old lady, she didn't talk about the benefits, but she got her younger son and daughter in instead. If it wasn't for the old lady's private house, she really wanted to tear her face apart.

Although she said not to tear her face, Mrs. Wang did not have a bit of respect for Jia's mother in her heart, but a little more hatred. Even the strength is unwilling to give a point, even the East Mansion can't compare.

Mrs. Wang didn't stay idle after sending Jia Zhu away. Instead, she went back to the Wang family for help. How much power the Wang family had in the palace, she just knew that Yuan Chun was accused of being assigned to King Qi County. He could only comfort Mrs. Wang, when he greeted the Duke of Qi when they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Yuan Chun would not be treated the same as the maid.

After Mrs. Wang returned to the mansion, Aunt Zhao, who had recently given birth to a daughter and a son, didn't bother to care about the rest of the time. She just concentrated on reciting Buddha and watching her son. I hope God bless her daughter's life. bitter.

Mrs. Wang still has thoughts about Jia Mu, not to mention Jia She, who is facing everything. Thinking about the words of the clan elders today, Jia She really realized that he is the head of General Shenwei's mansion, no matter what happens in the mansion. , will be related to him. In the eyes of others, even the old lady is attached to him.

Inexplicably, Jia She thought of his father, and also of his cousin from the next mansion. Being a family member should be like that. Brother Jing is even more difficult than him. All the affairs of the whole family are his business, just like the troubles in their mansion. In the end, he had to come forward to solve the problem. Even if he couldn't do what Brother Jing did, he had to do two or three points, otherwise, wouldn't his father hand over the mansion to him for nothing.

Jia Shen recalled how the clan elders were dissatisfied with the old lady. In fact, he had always been dissatisfied with the old lady's partiality, but that was his mother, and he always listened to her, but after hearing today's incident, he knew that her knowledge was not good enough. How about it, alas, he still has to be filial to his mother, but he should not let her interfere in the outside affairs, he must not live up to his father's expectations and let the house be ruined by himself.

Jia Amnesty remembered what he had said in the clan, and ordered his servants to tell Mrs. Xing to pay some money, and he took it to Dongfu.

Jia She took the silver and walked towards the East Mansion, and as he walked, he suddenly remembered the matter of repaying the money that his father had told him before he left. Their mansion only paid back half of the money, and now he is not short of money, it's better to pay it back earlier.

Jia Amnesty is really not short of money, Mrs. Xing can't do anything else, but she has a hand in checking the accounts. Her natal family was not rich, so when she was at home, she knew very clearly about the big and small things in the field and shop, not to mention deducting every penny. The details are almost the same. At first, it wasn’t that there were no servants who used fake accounts to fool her, but instead she forced her to go to Jia She to confront her, and finally ransacked the house and sold it. Since then, the servants have restrained themselves a lot. up.

Therefore, even if there were those in the big house who cheated and took advantage of the mansion, they would not dare to be greedy too much. Jia Shen inherited a lot of family business, so he was very rich financially.

In the front yard, Jia Zheng also felt uncomfortable. His daughter was almost made the lowest concubine, and she still hasn't found her. This is different from what her mother said.

Thinking about what the clan elders said, Jia Zheng couldn't help but think that his mother shouldn't interfere in foreign affairs. In the future, no matter how filial he is, he can't go beyond that. It's better to discuss things with the clan in the future. This time, he listened to the old lady's advice. It actually trampled on the Jia family's face, making him unable to hold his head up in the clan.
