Official You's Family in the Red Chamber

After half a year passed after the final exam, You Qingyuan and his wife in the Marquis of Ning'an finally passed the filial piety. Not long after they passed the filial piety, Jia Zhen made up for the vacancy from the fourth grade, which is actually a higher level than before the filial piety.

At this time, the two young mistresses of General Shenwei's Mansion, who were no longer new wives, were finally the sisters-in-law who really knew Dong Mansion.

Before, You Qingyuan and his wife had great filial piety, and they were both newlyweds in Pianxi Mansion. They were afraid of adding bad luck, so they only gave heavy gifts at the two weddings, but no one came. Benny.

It was the first time for Wang Xifeng and Li Wan to see the sister-in-law of Dongfu since they got married. Both of them were a little nervous. This Youshi is not only the sister-in-law next door, but also the clan wife of the Jia family, especially now that the Qin family is gone. , the highest clan status among the female family members of the Jia family is Youshi.

Wang Xifeng and Li Wan also heard of You Qingyuan when they were not married. Although You Qingyuan is not a publicity person, she is also known as a virtuous person among the female family members. People think that she is the first wife, but they clearly know that she is the second wife, but people would rather ignore it. Obviously, You Qingyuan is this kind of person.

It was the first time for Wang Xifeng and Li Wan to meet people. On the one hand, they wanted to compare themselves. On the other hand, they also wanted to take this opportunity to show their status, so they both put a lot of effort into their appearance.

Wang Xifeng was dressed more glamorously than before, with jewels all over her head, coupled with her natural beauty, she looked like a fairy concubine at that station.

Compared with Wang Xifeng's attire, Li Wan's attire is more stable. Although the clothes are fresh and tender, they are not as strong as Wang Xifeng's clothes. The head accessories are mostly jade ornaments, which are not as eye-catching as Wang Xifeng's, but they cannot be ignored. Because her life was not as smooth as Wang Xifeng's and she was inferior in momentum, there was no possibility of being compared to that station.

When You Qingyuan went to the West Mansion to meet Jia's mother, she was not alone, but brought Jia Ying, Jia Wei, and Jia Qiong with her. There were two new female relatives who had to deal with in the future. I know a child, and it looks more formal this way, which saves Shi Taijun from criticizing.

Jia's mother is also full of people, not only Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan, but also Yingchun Tanchun. Of course, Jia Baoyu is indispensable, but she is held in Jia's arms. Not being rude.

After You Qingyuan and others greeted Mother Jia, and said hello to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing cheerfully pulled Wang Xifeng to introduce You Qingyuan, but Mrs. Wang frowned fiercely.

Jia Lian and Jia Zhu are the elder of the two. Although she doesn't like Li Wan on weekdays, she also favors Wang Xifeng, but when there are outsiders, her daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law of Jia's family. From Madam Wang's point of view, it is natural to introduce her first. Her daughter-in-law, this is related to her son's identity. Li Wan is the eldest daughter-in-law, so her son is naturally the eldest son, but Wang Xifeng is her niece, and her family background is not comparable to Li Wan's. I can't say anything, but I don't like Li Wan even more.

If she had a good family background, how would Mrs. Xing dare to take the lead? Just like the You family in the East Mansion is a junior, not to mention a step-mother. Why does the mansion attach so much importance to her? It's not because she was born there, a second-rank official. The eldest daughter, and Tanhua's younger brother, the County Lord's younger brother, otherwise the old lady would be so considerate?

Mrs. Wang's expression was fleeting, but how could she escape You Qingyuan's eyes? You Qingyuan couldn't help but smile. Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu are worthy of being mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and they can't see their identities clearly.

Jia Zhu is older than Jia Lian, but he is the son of Jia Zheng, and the West Mansion is the mansion of General Shenwei. If the two families are not separated, it is reasonable to be together in seniority, but Jia Mu still has a second master Bao in her arms. In this case, Grandma Zhu of the second room is still in front of the second grandmother Lian of the first room in the general's mansion, which is simply ridiculous.

You Qingyuan made countless twists and turns in her heart, but her face was still full of smiles, she even made a few jokes, pulled Wang Xifeng to say a few more words, smiled and gave the meeting gift, but it was a set of ruby ​​and gold inlaid hair. .

When Wang Xifeng saw it, she sighed inwardly, originally she had prepared what she thought was a rather heavy gift for the girls in the East Mansion, but now that she saw such a handicraft, although her gift was expensive, it wasn't that extraordinary, but on second thought You secretly praised in your heart that you are worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, and your actions are really extraordinary.

Wang Xifeng accepted the gift with a smile, distributed the gift he had prepared to several girls, and praised the girls in Dongfu with witty words, secretly thinking that his sister-in-law was rare in the world, but he didn't want this The girls of the two junior generations in Dongfu are even more outstanding.

You Qingyuan opened her mouth to chat with Mrs. Wang again, then turned to ask about Li Wan's head, Mrs. Wang then introduced a few words, You Qingyuan said a few words to Li Wan as usual, and then presented a gift, It was also a valuable present, Li Wan accepted the gift, and also gave some meeting gifts to the little girls.

The ceremony prepared by Li Wan was considered decent, but the Li family could only be said to be noble, incomparably richer than the Wang family, so the ceremony seemed to be inferior to Wang Xifeng's.

You Qingyuan and the others spent the whole morning in the West Mansion. They were supposed to leave Jia Mu's place, but Madam Xing invited them to the big room.

You Qingyuan and Mrs. Xing Wang Xifeng talked for a while, and the little girls played together for a while.

After seeing off all the people in Dongfu, Wang Xifeng went back to her room, laying on the couch, thinking about the people she saw today.

Youshi, who is of noble birth and extraordinary bearing, although he looks easy to get along with, but when we met today, although he is really impeccable in his life, although he looks very respectful to the old lady, he obviously doesn't hold the old lady that much. Wife, or as the daughter-in-law in the next room, it is enough to respect the old lady, but there is really no need to hold her. After all, she is full of confidence.

The eldest daughter of the You family was well-bred at first glance, with such a good looks and demeanor, I heard that she is already 14 years old, and she is about to discuss marriage, I don't know which one will be cheaper.

I also thought of Jia Wei who I secretly noticed. Although she was a concubine, she looked no different from Jia Ying in terms of dress and treatment, and her upbringing was also extraordinary. One comparison, although Tanchun is not bad in other things, but he was thrown away in terms of cost alone. His vision and experience have accumulated a little bit since childhood, and it has dropped a bit at the beginning, so it doesn't matter if we don't mention it in the future.

Even the three-year-old Jia Qiong who followed this time looked full of aura. I really don't know how Youshi was raised. I heard that there are two boys in the mansion, one is left by the original spouse, and the other is a concubine. Yes, they are all reading.

Li Wan had a good impression of everyone in Dongfu. After staying in Jia's house for more than a year, Li Wan gradually became a bit of a philistine. Impressive.

But on the other hand, Li Wan was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng's gift today crushed him severely.Speaking of which, this is not the kind of dissatisfaction that can be caused by this incident. Everyone is jealous. When Wang Xifeng entered the house and the housekeeper, the mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter, and her husband doted on her. On the other hand, she has not touched the housekeeper's power until now. If the mother-in-law doesn't like it, she still wants to compete with a group of concubines for her husband.

While Li Wan was complaining about himself, while envious and jealous towards Wang Xifeng, You Qingyuan was also thinking about the two new sister-in-laws she met today, one was as hot as fire and the other as light as water, and she didn't know how Xifu got married.

You Qingyuan took a sip of tea and shook her head. The first daughter-in-law was like a peacock, showing off her eyebrows and eyes, and the second daughter-in-law was even worse, her eyes were full of sorrow just after she got married.

On the side of the eldest room, she looks okay, she doesn't care about her vanity, she doesn't hide her flaws, she has a good temper, she has a clever mouth, and she can wink. I heard that the housekeeper is also good at socializing, but she is illiterate, and I'm afraid she doesn't understand her. Law, life is going smoothly, but I am afraid that my heart is too big!

On the other side of the second room, I heard that she is the daughter of a scholar family, but she doesn't look like a high-minded person, but she is a bit powerful, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse. Looking at it, I know that life is not going well. Alas, Mrs. Wang is so good at the booth. The mother-in-law is also poor.

You Qingyuan, exhale, shake your head, put aside the ones in the West Mansion, after all, it’s not her home, now Jia Rong’s mansion examination is what she should be busy with, marriage should also be on the agenda, and it’s time for Ying girl to start seeing people .

In a few days, Jia Rong took the salute prepared by You Qingyuan and a few servants, and returned to his hometown in Jinling by boat. He didn't have a quota for supervisory students, so he had to go back to his hometown to take the exam, and the family was going to discuss marriage for him. Fame is also good for others.

After Jia Rong was sent away, You Qingyuan became active in various banquets, and most of Jia Ying and Jia Wei followed. Everyone knew what this meant, and those with school-age children began to observe secretly.

At this moment, a good news came back to the Marquis of Ning'an that Jia Jing had been promoted to the second rank. It turned out that the Minister of Rites had submitted a letter to become an official, but the sage promoted Jia Jing somehow.

You Fu got the news, but You Wende frowned. Since years ago, the sage has been using "old man" more and more. Thinking about the original work of the Red Chamber, You Wende wondered if there was a sign at this time?I just don't know who among the several princes has this fate. Now it seems that apart from the seventh prince, the twelfth prince and his brother, the thirteenth prince, the rest of the older princes are all possible. The emperor's heart is unpredictable!

While Jia Jing in the Marquis of Ning'an was happy for his promotion, another man surnamed Jia far away in the south of the Yangtze River came to the end of his life.

Lin Ruhai looked at his dying wife, tears finally filled his eyes, Daiyu, who was only five years old, almost fainted from crying.

Hearing her daughter's cry, Jia Min opened her eyes with difficulty. Seeing the sad appearance of Yingwei Daiyu, Jia Min couldn't help feeling sad. She might die, but what will her daughter do in the future?
