The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Seeing that Wang Guizhi had something to do, Feng stood up and said goodbye.

Wang Guizhi thought that there would be more chances to meet each other in the future, so he would not stay with each other. After sending them to the door, seeing that Caiyun Caixia had prepared some things and gifts, he led Yuanchun in the carriage and explained to her, "You probably haven't seen this aunt, and she is the most kind. She has a son and a daughter, named Xue Pan and Xue Hong..." The first time the relatives met, Wang Guizhi explained a few words to his daughter, "Cousin His nickname is Baochai, he is said to be smart and sensible, and has a good temper..."

Yuan Chun nodded and listened, and soon entered the Rongqing Hall through the west corner gate.

After saluting the old lady and aunt Feng Zhenlan, Feng Zhenlan immediately helped Wang Guizhi up, "Okay, come and see your sister."

"elder sister."

"younger sister."

Wang Guizhi looked at Aunt Xue and Wang Zijiong, who was also his playmate when he was a child. The stories of his previous love were filled with emotions, and he felt a lot of tears. He held hands and looked at each other.

Jiamu laughed, "I know you haven't seen each other for a long time. The children are all eating here. It's so easy for you girls to get together, so let's have fun." These are all married daughters. How many times?

"Thank you, old lady." Wang Guizhi thanked Jia Mu, and returned to his room in the carriage with Feng Zhenlan and Wang Zijiong.

As soon as she entered the house, Feng Zhenlan's good face disappeared. She patted Wang Guizhi's hand and said, "Why do you live here? Didn't you originally live on the east side of Rongxi Hall? Hmph, could it be Jia's house?" So cold? After receiving so many benefits from you, you still want to drive you out?" She frowned, "Although you are the second wife, Jia Zheng has earned such a good face for Jia's family in Shanxi. How can you And drove you here to live?"

Wang Zijiong sat on the side without making a sound, Wang Guizhi hurriedly explained, "Sister-in-law, I proposed to move here myself." She knew that sister-in-law really loved her, so she wanted to plan more for her from the Jia family. , but she is no longer the former Mrs. Wang. She hopes that even though she, including the children, grows up by relying on the luxuriant tree of the Jia family, they will not always be like the dodder flower, only knowing how to directly absorb the leaves of the big tree. nutrition to survive, but to be able to stand on their own.

"Why?" Feng Zhenlan was very puzzled. The old lady of the Jia family had always favored her youngest son. She chose the Jia family in the first place so that Wang Ziling could live a more comfortable life. After giving birth, she also asked her younger sister to rob Mr. Jia Zhu, the eldest son, and then she had Yuan Chun. It was already a good name, and Dafang only had a brother.Originally, she lived safely in the main courtyard, and the husband's official position has also been promoted from the fifth rank to the second rank, so why did she move here instead?She's not like Jia Amnesty, the eldest son of the Jia family, who has already taken over the title of the Jia family. Even if the old lady waits for a hundred years, all the things of the Jia family will belong to him.When the girl is in a rush, why don't she take the opportunity to take more, how can she back down by herself?

Wang Guizhi smiled and said, "It's convenient for me to live here, and besides, my master may send someone outside again, so the yard will be easy to take care of." If you don’t want to give it to me, I’m still not willing to take it?” Jia Zheng is considered promising now, barely able to shelter the children by himself.Although his parents are still there, his salary and Bing Jing Tan Jing's income will all belong to the public, and it seems that he has to rely on Jia's family to survive.In fact, the monthly servants, favors, living expenses and other expenses of their big family are also the expenses of the Jia family, and Wang Guizhi, who can be regarded as a successful businessman and a rich woman, does not mean that he looks down on the family property of the Jia family. Many of the people who have been trained are under her command, which is equivalent to occupying the human resources of the public. How can she deliberately confront Da Fang again?Since I can make money, why bother thinking about those of the Jia family.If she stands upright by herself, it won't affect the family atmosphere.

It is said that brothers are united, and their hearts are broken. She hasn't thought about how Jia She and Jia Zheng can be more united, but isn't it better to be able to justify a problem like this?Why do you have to fight against it?

Feng Zhenlan couldn't help but nodded between her eyebrows, "You, you are too honest and always think of others. Children who can cry have milk." She has such a personality, so caring, Feng Zhenlan thinks that she doesn't like to be pinched I took the lead, thinking that although the courtyard is far away from the old lady, it is still spacious, and I heard that it is going to be expanded from the back, thinking that she is not without a plan, so I just let it go.

Wang Guizhi asked Wang Zijiong with a smile, "I saw your letter saying that Master Xue is much better now? Then you will feel much more at ease."

"Yes, with him around, we have the backbone of our family." Wang Zijiong recalled that in Jinling, when the sky was sinking, she was really sad. If it wasn't for the help of her elder brother, she would have killed the master immediately. When she came to Beijing for medical treatment, maybe the master stretched his legs and left her orphaned and widowed, then I really don't know what to do.She has never been good at economics, she is not as aggressive as her eldest sister-in-law, nor as witty as her second sister-in-law, and even her sister is not as good as her. She has always put her husband first.

"That's good, as long as the family is healthy and healthy, it's better than anything else." Wang Guizhi said again, "The doctor Zhang who has been following me opened a pharmacy for him in Shanxi, thinking that he might be there Rooting, I didn’t expect that he would still be willing to follow me, if my sister is willing, I will ask him to show my brother-in-law later.”

Wang Zijiong nodded delightedly, "That's good. I heard that Imperial Physician Wang admired Doctor Zhang's medical skills. It was also thanks to the prescription he wrote, otherwise the master would not be able to gradually recover."

The three of them chatted with each other, served tea two or three times, and even set the dinner table without stopping, making Wang Guizhi seem to have returned to the time when she had a party with her friends.

The Rongqing hall at the other end was also very lively, Xue Pan felt his eyes were blurred, for a while, this sister-in-law, that sister, and this cousin, that brother, everyone just laughed and nearly knocked the roof down, Looking at the group of children, Mother Jia wondered what it means to be beautiful. From time to time, she asked the girl to feed them with water, add tea, take snacks and fruits, and it was convenient for someone to take care of them. They play, let people move the furniture for fear that they may accidentally touch it, and the youngest great-grandson cries, and she also cares.

There are more children, and naturally they are gradually divided into several groups.

Yuanchun is surrounded by Yingchun, Daiyu and Baochai.

Seeing that the three of them were all wearing jade, Baochai, who was seven years old at this time, also took out a gold lock from the collar to start the conversation, "Sisters and sisters wear jade, but I wear gold nuggets."

"Gold and jade are good." Yuan Chun said.

Yingchun continued, "I said the same thing."

Daiyu smiled delicately, her sharp eyes said, "Sister's gold also has writing on it." Because she was born prematurely, she looked thinner and younger than Baochai, so she was pitiful just looking at her.The jade on her chest is what Jia Min heard from Jia's mother that when Baoyu and Meiyu were born, Jia Zheng prepared a piece for each of the children in the family. I picked two pieces of warm jade, similar to everyone's gold necklaces, and invited God Zhang to pray for them and engraved two auspicious words for Daiyu to wear from time to time.

"What do you write on it?" Baochai asked curiously.

Daiyu untied the jade, held it in her hand, and handed it over, "I was born with a weak body. This jade is engraved with the Buddha's light, Dharma joy, and the blessing of the three treasures. There is also a piece that says, Happy and free from illness, six o'clock." Auspicious." Mother always said that she didn't pay attention at the time, and the premature birth made her unhealthy, but sometimes she felt that this person's body was born.

"I wrote on it that I will never leave, and my youth will last forever." Baochai and Daiyu exchanged a look, and Yuanchun saw that they were both delicate and demure, but he thought in his heart, if there were words on this jade, mother There are words on the jade, but I don't know what it is written on.She lowered her head and smiled, always showing her father's affection for her mother.

Jia Zhu was absent, and Jia Lian was the oldest, so it was rare that he could leave get out of class early today, and a strong brother played with him, took the ball and Baoyu, and went out of the house to play.

Meiyu Xiangyun and Yuanyuan were left, playing with the doll and combing Yuanyuan's hair with a comb, playing well.

"Sister, although my family Pan'er is stupid, he can't be left alone. Now he lives in his uncle's house, and it's fine if someone controls him. The master always wants to go back to Jinling. I wonder if my sister can let Jia's family learn more. Let me make some accommodations, let him go back to Jia's family to study?" If the old man recovers, the only thing she worries about is her son Xue Pan. Although he is filial, he has a bit of savagery. She can't help but plan for the worst. She can learn other things, and the child has to be taught. In Beijing, she is also an only child. See how her brother and sister-in-law teach the child. When she compares it, her face becomes hot of.

"Of course." Wang Guizhi heard from Jia Zheng that some of the stricter regulations of Shanxi College are based on Jia's family's learning. It would be bad to be able to change the "dumb bully" in school.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Feng Zhenlan understood everything she wanted to ask and hear. After all, she was the mistress of the house, so she quickly gave some things to Wang Guizhi, and then took the gift box from Caiyun Caixia, "Okay, let's talk about it too." One day, everything that needs to be said has been said, and it is already dark, so it is time to go home."

"Sisters-in-law and sisters, come and play when you have time."

Wang Zijiong had no choice but to come out. He wanted to tell his sister that it wasn't that Jia's family didn't give her face to prevent Pan'er from studying, but that Pan'er didn't make progress and was driven back. She didn't have the face to face her sister-in-law for such a scandal. Said, it seems that we have to find another opportunity.

Xue Pan still felt that he hadn't played enough, so he took his mother's hand and said, "Mom, when are we going to play at Auntie's house again?"

"Let's go after a while."

Following Wang Guizhi, he began to worry about Yuanchun's draft. Seeing his mother's uneasy state, Yuanchun felt both comforting and funny. Seeing his uneasy mother wandering around the room, she hugged Wang Guizhi's from behind. Waist said, "Mom, don't worry, I will be fine."

"How did you know that the palace is really dangerous." Wang Guizhi sighed. How could her pampered daughter be willing to send her to that place with her own hands?

Yuan Chun rubbed his face against his mother's gentle back, "Mom, don't worry, you have to trust your own daughter. I am just like you, no matter what kind of adversity I am in, I will try my best to live out what I want. life."

"Look at what you said..." Wang Guizhi really didn't expect his daughter to say such a thing.

"Really, don't worry. Even if it is the worst plan, I will marry the emperor, then I am a high-ranking concubine, and I will live a good life. Or marry a prince and nobleman, even if it is him If you don’t like me at the beginning, I won’t cry and let myself and you feel sad. I will try my best to fight for everything I want... Just like you and your father, in the end, your father still wants your mother to subdue you Is it?" Yuan Chun is not afraid of what she will face at all, no matter who she marries, she has the confidence to influence him and try to make him into what she likes.

Well, the first thing to do is to make him obedient, Yuan Chun squinted and smiled.

Wang Guizhi, who was startled by his daughter's sudden words, also seemed to feel a kind of "dominant spirit" silently?

Also, no matter what, the children need to walk their own way, and I hope that my worries are nothing but unfounded.

Shanxi

Yuan Kang silently flipped through the Russian-Chinese comparison table that Jia Zheng asked the teachers and students of Shanxi College to complete halfway through, and now he has finally completed the thick book in his hand.

Thinking back to the conversation Mr. Jia once had with him, "Jun Wang, do you know how high is the sky? I have asked many Shanxi merchants, and they have traveled all over China, but they have also told me that they have not come to an end. We are a dignified Chinese, with countless fertile fields and fertile soil, and we will create wealth with our hands The people of China, but apart from the border countries that come to worship or harass from time to time, how much do we know about other places? What kind of language do they use? What kind of clothes do they use? How do they rule the country and do they have weapons?  … ..."

The last sentence of the day impressed him the most, "It's not scary not to know, but it's too scary to ignore everything you don't know when you think you know it. I want the people of **** to go further and see Know more, and know more.”

The author has something to say: See, I broke the theory of a golden and jade marriage.Wow Kaka.
