Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

"Forget it, he is your son. I don't care how you discipline him. It's just that I invited Lin Zhixiao's daughter-in-law to go out and ask someone to tell Baoyu's fortune. He needs to be overjoyed, otherwise he might not be able to keep it.

I thought about Baoyu's marriage with Xue's girl since she was a child, and I thought it was just a casual gossip, and I didn't take it to heart. I just figured out that this marriage is destined for itself, and I can't hide it. Yes, it happens that your daughter-in-law is also here, so you can discuss it? "

First, a marriage was destined, and then a Xue family, Jia Zheng felt very uncomfortable hearing this, and said,

"Well, this girl from the Xue family looks good to me. It's just that I saw Xue Pan's murder in the study has already been brought up to the Ministry of Punishment. Since she has such an elder brother, she may implicate Baoyu."

Speaking of Xue Pan, Mrs. Wang also blushed. It turns out that Xue Pan's matter has always been under pressure. She just waited for the prince to return to the capital and cut the case. After the tea was cooled, the case turned upside down before people had cooled down.

"There is one more thing. The empress has only been away for two months. As a brother, Baoyu has nine months of meritorious service, so he can't get married at this time?"

Mother Jia was helpless and thought to herself, does she just want a girl from a businessman's family and a brother with a criminal record to be her daughter-in-law?only......

"I also know this reason, but I am also a day-to-day person, and Baoyu is also sad every day. As long as you agree, we don't have to care about these, and it is not a serious marriage. Yes, your wife and I went to beg in person for the concubine's side, saying that it was for joy, and I also begged Tiao'er to tell him on the side of Pan'er that our two families have passed the ceremony, and we don't need to cheer, according to the palace rules. I used twelve pairs of lanterns to carry people in a sedan chair carrying eight people, and worshiped in the south according to the rules, so I was married."

Even though Jia Zheng was still not very happy, but after listening to what Jia Mu said was reasonable, he also knew that they had negotiated and had no choice but to agree.

"One more thing, I think my water brand all day is too wasteful, so I want to stop!"

"What's the matter? Doesn't the old lady make her son unfilial by doing this?" Jia Zheng kowtowed again, and Mrs. Wang followed,

"The family is difficult, and my son knows a little bit about it. Even if it's more difficult, I can't let go of the old lady. My son, my son still has some..."

"Stop!" Seeing that his words were becoming more and more outrageous, Jia's mother hurriedly stopped her.

"It's hard at home, but it's not bad, but I think I'm old, my teeth are not getting better, I can't eat much, and it's not suitable to use these stupid things. !"

Just like that, Jia Zheng didn't say much, and then sent people out, leaving only Jia Mu and Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the room.

"Since you decided on this marriage according to your wishes, you can do it. I also saved according to your wishes. I am also old and I don't have many days to live. I only hope that your children and grandchildren can live together." Just have a good time."

Mrs. Wang knelt down and said,

"It's the daughter-in-law who is not good at running the family."

Mother Jia waved her hand, and Mrs. Wang quietly withdrew.

"Grandpa, am I wrong?" Jiamu murmured.

By the time Jia Lu received the news, it was already December in the middle of winter.

At the beginning of November, there has been a lot of snow. Some rich and noble families have no worries. There are heaters, smokers, and greenhouses in their homes. They don’t have to worry about everything. Xue writes poems and paintings and the like.

Everyone in the Jiang family encountered an unprecedented cold winter, just like the snowstorm outside, shivering.

It turned out that under the management of Mrs. He, their life is so easy. They can stretch out their hands if they say so. As long as Mrs. He is coaxed well, everything will be easy to talk about.

Originally, when Mrs. He handed over the housekeeping to Mrs. Jia, no one cared about it. She was just a little girl who hadn't grown up yet. She felt a little greedy for Mrs. Jia's generous dowry.

Jia Lu took over in mid-September. Sure enough, there was no news for the next two months, and no staff was placed, nor was anyone suppressed. She even paid out her own money to make up the monthly arrears. Everyone thought she was a shy(?) The new daughter-in-law, the previous mess in the kitchen was also forgotten, and she was the same as before, without any restraint.

However, it was only in November that it snowed, and their new wife finally showed her ferocious claws, and summoned a hundred guards of their Lord Marquis, and ransacked the homes of the people on the list one by one. , One catches one accurately, there are so many servant families with hundreds of gold and thousands of gold, and they are too numerous to count. All the property they have eaten for so many years has been vomited out, and even I will be sent to the Yamen Prison with me.

It was only at this time that everyone realized that this Jia Lu was not someone to be bullied. It was better to be straightforward than Xiao He. The silence of the previous two or three months might be an investigation of the whole family.

What no one thought was that Jiang Zining played a role here. It was not in vain that he stayed in the Jinwu Guard for so many years. The Jiang family in Pingyuanhoufu was also his foundation. How could he not investigate it?

When Xiao He saw the boxes of money being moved out of the houses of those "docile and witty" servants, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. They were all richer than her, and urged herself If she wanted money, she shouldn't have given away the housekeeping rights. If she ransacked the house like this, wouldn't the property belong to her?

But she can only think about it, doesn't she know how tricky it is?No, she knew, but she also had scruples.

In other words, people who can be as unscrupulous as Jiang Zining and his wife would have no family members, because these old world servants are more like the masters of the family than the young masters, and they are the masters of the family from birth to death. It is in this family that the ancestors have been inseparable from generation to generation. Many of the male masters grew up watching them, not to mention the foreign female masters.

They become relatives by marriage and gradually grow stronger. The main family has only a few people, and their family has grown to dozens of people. One hair can affect the whole body. If there is no complete plan for such a huge monster, who would dare to touch them.

Just like Jia's family, Mrs. Wang had the support of the empress and Wang Ziteng on the outside, and the support of everyone inside, and she had serious reasons, but she still didn't dare to carry out the ransacking of the house herself, so she pushed Wang Xifeng out, and Wang Xifeng didn't Dare to make a move and pull the lead of Zhou Rui's family, that's the reason.

Just Jiang Zining and Jia Lu, there are not many families in this whole family who are loyal to them, even if they are all dismissed, it doesn't matter, one family will come to another family, and all of them will sit together. Anyway, there are many people in their family. There are more than 1000 people who even went to the top of Zhuangzi.
