The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng also said that Xue Pan was going out to learn business, and Aunt Xue's family was going to live in the Lixiangyuan in the mansion; , and Smith is also there to accompany and wait for family gossip.

"My wife said that our family is thriving now, so I discussed with the old lady that we would build a few houses and yards on the side of Ningguo Mansion from her side that we didn't build on the back mountain side."

Jia Lian nodded as soon as she heard it, "That's really reasonable. Brother Hui, our clever girl, is growing up day by day, and the number of people in the house can't be accommodated." He smiled and looked at Wang Xifeng, "If my good grandmother Conceive one for me, our yard is too crowded."

"Yo, you're acting evil again, wait for me..."

"Take care of me later in the evening!" Seeing a maid come in, Jia Lian hastily stopped her. After all, Feng'er is the grandma who is in charge now, so she should show her some dignity in front of the servants.He went on to say, "Then it's a certainty?"

Wang Xifeng smiled, "This must be decided after discussing with the First Master, the Second Master, and the East Mansion. It's not so fast. I'll just tell you for nothing."

"I see that it will definitely work. Brother Zhen is not only busy marrying Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, but he is also afraid that he will have a younger one. He has always been willing to do these things, and he will definitely agree."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xifeng asked Jia Lian in a low voice, "Second Master, Eldest Master, do you want to..." According to the rules of etiquette, this matter is not under the control of them who are juniors, only the parents' orders, the matchmaker's Word.But at this time, people who marry into Jia's mansion are just like Ming Qiang.Otherwise, how dare Brother Rong refute Brother Zhen's idea?If it was the same as before, I don't know how many times I was beaten.

Jia Lian also knew what was on her mind. Just from himself, he didn't want to call someone who was not his own mother mother, but there was no son who took care of Lao Tzu. He couldn't say it, but seeing his father recently, There is no meaning in this regard.

"Let's not mention this matter anymore, no matter what, we will continue." He finally got a better relationship with his father, and there was no need to be born because of a woman.

Knowing that their husband must only think this is a trivial matter, Wang Xifeng has nothing to do.

That had to go with the flow.

After a while, Jia Zheng approached Jia She, "Brother, what do you think? If you want to remarry, you can ask the old lady to take a closer look. If you don't want to, you might as well show up." This way, in case the old lady can't refuse it all day long, I also have decals here every day." The madam can't stand it, even his eldest daughter has someone to ask for it.

"I don't plan to find another one." After Mrs. Li passed away, he no longer cared about the affairs of the house. He could sleep wherever he wanted. Cough, if it wasn't for Doctor Zhang who came to ask for his peace pulse, he reminded him tactfully. You have to pay attention to maintenance, even young people are not as indulgent as he is, but Jia She counts, how many of them have not been able to share a room?

Later, I asked someone to ask, it turned out that Mrs. Li had been looking for one for him a year ago, and all of them were treated like water onions, but she was afraid that he would leave his body and not take care of it, so she took care of him, and he didn't want to just raise it on one side. .As soon as Mrs. Li passed away, seeing that he liked it again, she sent them all over, and the beauties that the second younger sibling got by chance, and the younger brother didn't like them, so he was the one to pick them first. Yingying Yanyan was stuffed to the brim.

It's not that he didn't mention to Jia She to marry another one, but it's not like that when he married in. Now he also has a woman playing with him, living in Rongxi Hall, watching his sons and grandchildren, whenever he wants to watch fans and raise his feet, he can go to the real world. There is no need to find a woman to manage him at all.

He looked at Jia Zheng, if he hadn't lived in Rongxi Hall, his son and daughter-in-law were in charge of most of the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, Jia She thought, maybe he would marry another one.

"I have caring and caring people around me, so how about it, I'll go with you to understand my mother."

Jia Amnesty knew very well that the choice of his wife, even if he was a successor, represented a different meaning in the Rongguo Mansion's Jia family!Anyway, there can be no one who can compare with younger brothers and sisters, so why bother to involve the whole family, it might make my sons divorced by then.

He is at the age of five and six, what's wrong with being happy and happy?

"I'm at this age, and I have two good children, Lian'er and Cong'er, and soon my grandson will call me grandpa..." When Jia She explained the words, Jia's mother was moved when she heard it, and she thought so too Well, if the older one was younger and the younger one wasn't in the current situation where the flowers are blooming and the fire is cooking oil, it would be easy for Jia Shen to marry another one.

Jia's mother said, "Then I know how to cook." She looked at Jia Zheng who was standing respectfully beside her, "It's rare that you two come here together, and I have something to discuss with you."

"Mother, please tell me."

"Also ask mother to teach."

Mother Jia asked Yuanyang to put on reading glasses for her, and took out the sketch drawn by Wang Guizhi, "Our family was confiscated at the beginning, and the land was divided from here to here..." The fingernails on the fingers were crisp and inlaid with precious stones. Swipe across, "But after all, the world has just been pacified. In fact, the place where we originally lived was the five-entry courtyard of Rongxitang. After that, our Xingxing branch, I also have you and Min'er." These are all the years she has experienced. "First, I built the house for you, then added the Rongqing Hall, and now Zheng'er's yard."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng nodded again and again. The picture was shown in a rectangular form, which was very clear.

"Now that we have several additions to the family, I think it needs to be expanded." Jia's mother doesn't want to separate the family. Right now, the two brothers are supporting and relying on each other, "What do you think?"

Jia Zheng didn't answer first, although he knew about it early on, and even how to repair it was his handwriting.

Now he doesn't worry about what will happen in the future at all, how can he support the Rongguo Mansion!

His children can casually pass on his and his wife's career.

Then there is no need to carefully balance the conflict of interest between him and his eldest brother.

Jia Amnesty thought about the balance of the statement sent by the bank this year, "I think it will work." His eldest son is married and has a son, but the second son has not yet.

"Then you will take over this matter and discuss it with the East Mansion." Mother Jia said with satisfaction, the second son is busy with business, but the eldest son can't let him be too idle, the second daughter-in-law is embarrassed to mention it, and deliberately It was her good intentions to let Doctor Zhang secretly tell her about Jia She's adultery when he was feeling his pulse, and then come up with something to let the man handle it.

Don't you leave it to Lian'er?Jia Amnesty was a little puzzled, but readily agreed, "Understood, mother."

When Jia Zheng returned to his courtyard, he saw that she also had two strange looking things on her fingers, so he couldn't help laughing, "Looking at my mother, I knew it was your trick again."

"Does it look good?" Wang Guizhi put a hand on Jia Zheng's forearm, and the golden slanting moon looked extraordinarily luxurious on her soft white fingers.

"It's beautiful." Jia Zheng boasted, and seeing her really happy, she hugged a box and came out to find the treasure, "Aren't my nails soft? Last time when Master Jin made jewelry for me, I just mentioned this sentence, you Look, he has done so much for me!" She chose the biggest ruby ​​braid that could fit a thumb and tried to put it on Jia Zheng's little finger, and it barely fit it, "Hahaha, it really looks good. "

Letting her have fun, Jia Zheng's expression gradually relaxed. The emperor was clearly paving the way for the prince. The court was eerily quiet these days. In private, all the ministers in the court had their own plans, and it was too much to face them outside. tired.

There is another thing that he is also a little worried about, "The day of the draft has been decided, Chengjun Wang..."

"What? Did he really want to marry Sister Lin?" How could Wang Guizhi agree, "That's not possible." As soon as Sister Lin said it, she knew that she had made a mistake. After all, she was an aunt, so how could she be called Sister Lin Daiyulin.

Fortunately, Jia Zheng didn't pay much attention.

Hearing her objection, Jia Zheng asked, "The original concubine of Prince Cheng is not in good health and has already gone. This time, the draftee will choose the concubine."

How can Wang Guizhi say that for a woman, marrying into the royal family is not necessarily a good thing, but if she wants to say it, everyone will think she is stupid. She opened her mouth to speak, but swallowed it again. Perseverance slowly affects her children, but she cannot let Jia Zheng, the person who keeps her awake in this era, cooperate with her.

"Why?" Seeing her reluctance to speak, Jia Zheng was really interested. After all, both Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu were relatives but had parents, so their parents should make the decision.

Why did she suddenly hide something from him again?Jia Zheng didn't like the feeling of being excluded by her.

Jia Zheng asked again and again, and Wang Guizhi had no choice but to say, "I told you, don't get angry, don't make a fuss, and don't do anything."

"Okay." Jia Zheng looked at her, whether she knew it or not, time seemed to be stuck at the moment when she came.

Wang Guizhi thought of the pair of Yu'er, they were indeed such a match made in heaven. Even though their original environment had changed, their hearts were still connected.

"Baoyu seems to like Sister Lin." Wang Guizhi couldn't bear to destroy it when she thought that she had seen two people writing poetry couplets at Meng Pozhai's place, one playing the piano and the other singing.

It turned out that it was just the children's business, Jia Zheng thought for a moment, and said casually, "What good did the two of them do in Mengpozhai?"

His tone became serious, and his expression became serious, which made him seem a little scary. Wang Guizhi was fine, but Caiyun, who wanted to come in to serve tea, was so frightened that his knees became weak and he knelt on the ground.

"No!" Wang Guizhi thought he had misunderstood the children for doing something they shouldn't do, so he quickly explained, "Don't think about it, they are all good children, and they all obey the rules. They are not dead!"

Jia Zheng recalled that his younger sister and his wife had always been difficult to deal with, "You want it yourself?" She chooses the daughter-in-law, so what does it matter if the son likes it or not?

Wang Guizhi was a little hesitant, after all, she was worried that Baoyu and Daiyu were too close in blood, in case the child born would be bad...

"You don't want to? Then just leave them far away." Jia Zheng said quickly.

"Don't!" Wang Guizhi was frightened into a cold sweat. In the original book, Baoyu and Daiyu's love tragedy was due to the entire feudal society, as well as the social downfall and corruption alluded to by the Jia family. How could she forgive herself if her love affair came to naught!

Hearing that her voice was getting sharper, Jia Zheng didn't know why she was so nervous about this matter, so he stretched out his hand and found that her hands were a little cold, so he hugged her and coaxed her softly, "Okay, okay, don't if you say no, hurry up What?" She didn't know why she was so anxious about such a trivial matter.Could it be that Zhu'er's daughter-in-law was chosen by her father? In her heart... no, she wouldn't care about such things at all.

Because at that time, she hadn't come yet...

Jia Zheng suddenly found that he was touching a secret, maybe after he knew it, he would be able to find the secret that keeps her by his side all the time.

Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu listened to Nanny Gu explain the rules of the palace for half an hour, and under the guidance of Nanny Gu, they did a few ways to salute nobles.

"The old lady asked the girls if get out of class is over? The lady sent some interesting and beautiful cats, and asked the girls to go and see them quickly."

Gu Momo hurriedly let her go, "The girls are doing very well, just come back to class in the future."

There is no need for her to do anything, the eldest girl has become a princess by herself, the wife may think that her heart is big, and she is thrown into the house without asking, and it is easy to think of her again. Dare to move any other minds.

"Thank you ma'am."

Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu thanked her politely, and walked towards Rongqing Hall hand in hand.

"Before, I only thought that the rules of Jia's family might be different from my family's, but I didn't expect it to be so different." Xue Baochai walked all the way, and it was rare to say a word. Before she came to her aunt's house, she thought that everyone's children should be similar to those in Xue's house. After living in the Rongguo Mansion for a while, she finally understood what it means to be an official for three generations before she knows how to dress and eat.

In Rongguo Mansion, there is no distinction between men and women in studying.

How lucky she was to enter the Jia family school, not only did she sit with the Jia family students in front of the desk to listen to the teacher's teaching, the poems she made were also praised by the husband, and they were once posted on the honor roll.

She also has her own scientific name, Xue Shulin.

Those idle books that I read when I was young, were beaten and scolded by adults, and they were actually arranged in the library for anyone to read at will. In addition, there are many other students who wrote down their impressions after reading the books. Speech, more gentlemen's comments.

But what surprised her was that it was just like that, and the ones who lent the most were not those who were easy to move people's minds, and they thought it would be good to see them before.

It's all kinds of answer sheets, travel notes, and doctors' diaries.

There is also a book about how I learned another language in the fastest time.

She also wanted to read this book very much, but unfortunately too many people wanted to read it, and she had to wait half a decade before it was her turn.

"Sister Bao, what are you talking about?" There is a big tabby cat in Mengpozhai. When Lin Daiyu heard about the cat, her thoughts turned away, and she didn't hear Xue Baochai's murmur clearly.

"It's nothing, sister Lin, let's go quickly." Xue Baochai put aside his temporary mood.

Baoyu saw Sister Lin and Sister Bao coming, and deliberately hid behind the screen, trying to scare them.

But Lin Daiyu saw his shadow at a glance, and she winked at Xue Baochai, and the two turned around and walked in from the other side.

"Why haven't you come here for so long?" Baoyu waited for a while but still didn't find anyone. She turned her head and saw that there were two figures. She ran into the house and saw that Sister Lin had already hugged a blue-eyed white cat. Playing in front of the old lady.

"Good sister, have you seen me?" Baoyu leaned forward and asked.

Lin Daiyu giggled, "Your shadow betrayed you."

"Ha, have you read the Record of Replacing Injustices?" Baoyu asked pleasantly, and then worried, "Some places are too bloody, will you be afraid?"

"Then what's there to be afraid of!" Lin Daiyu gave him a blank look, and would make a fuss, can she be the same as ordinary girls?

Baoyu didn't care at all, he saw that Lin Daiyu was interested, "Then you can read Dr. Zhang's records of injuries and illnesses, just be careful, some pages even have pictures attached."

"I don't want to read all these, why do you read this book?" Lin Daiyu asked.

"I read one of them at my mother's place, and I aroused some interest, so I flipped through it in my free time." Seeing that she didn't like it, Baoyu didn't want to say more, and the two started chatting again.

Seeing the appearance of the two villains, Mother Jia's heart moved, and she continued to close her eyes and let them go.

The author has something to say:

Jia Zhensheng is the patriarch of the No.19 generation of the Jia family, but it does not mean that he is very respected by the tribe.

He often felt that if the Jia family also had a food chain, then he must be the one at the bottom, even the single cell was better than him.

"Zhensheng, why is the rice grain on top of me in today's Biology Special Issue? In terms of qualifications, I am older than her, and in terms of age, I am a round older than her. In terms of seniority, well, I am slightly younger than her so A little, but my paper in this issue is absolutely excellent!"

The red and blue color of a mermaid tail wrapped under a long robe on the video call, if it weren’t for the blessings of the ancestors of the Tuo Jia family, it would be really hot eyes, Jia Zhensheng said rigidly, “Seventh Uncle, your research is very worthy of recognition , then there is no way, since you know that Aunt Mi's seniority is higher than yours, you should be clear about this result."

"Hush! My family contribution this year is not enough. I thought this paper could be the first issue, but now it's only second. Where can I get the contribution right now! Quietly, help Uncle Seven. Do something!"

Jia Zhensheng sighed, "Did you donate your sperm?"

"I have donated, and the limit has been exceeded."

This is really ruthless, eight times, eight opportunities have been used up, Jia Zhensheng stroked his forehead, "Do you have a date?"

"What object?"

"The love object that can be brought back home, if approved by the elders' meeting, the allowed contribution is kept at a minimum of [-] in the first three years of marriage."

"Really, there is such a good thing! But, where can I go to find a partner?"

"Then I can't help you, Uncle Qi, our family is free in love."

"Don't, don't, don't hang up, keep quiet. I know that love is freedom, but doesn't the family have a matching system? I want to sign up and introduce it to me."

Jia Zhensheng said helplessly, "Seventh Uncle, I checked for you just now, you applied for a matching match three times, and you were either late or said that the other party was too beautiful and too good-natured for you, and you won't have another chance for a matching match before you are 40 years old. "

"...I may not be fertile when I'm 40 years old, whisper, as the patriarch, you can't let your clansmen degenerate, can you?"

"Seventh uncle, don't worry, the family's childcare ability is very good." Jia Zhensheng saw that he was indeed only ten contribution points away, "You can borrow it from your clan members. I found out that Seventh Uncle and your sister Bagu have enough A lot of contribution."

"Really! Damn it, I asked her early in the morning, and she said she didn't have any, this stingy guy, how much does she have?"

... He was careless again, Jia Zhensheng raised his eyebrows, "You know Uncle Qi, I have nothing to say."

"Okay, it's okay, as long as she has it, thank you, whisper, Uncle Qi loves you."

Jia Zhensheng slumped on the rocking chair weakly, "Close my personal communication."

"Patriarch, it's useless. You should know clearly that our Rongguo Mansion has its own dedicated satellite, and there are three more. Unless sunspots can really block all satellite signals, as the patriarch..." The waiter's words have not yet come After speaking, the internal dedicated line rang and was automatically connected after five beeps.

A female voice with a sweet but roaring voice came out immediately, "Jia Zhensheng, let me tell you, I want to complain to you. As the patriarch, you actually revealed the personal information of the clan, and it is important contribution information. I can't stop talking to you. No end! You have the ability to say, why don't you answer my phone! Answer the phone quickly!"

The waiter reminded Jia Zhensheng, "Patriarch, you should take it. As a rare person with well-developed motor nerves in the Jia family, when she won the gold medal in the archery event, she automatically received part of the inheritance subsidy from the fourth aunt of the political generation. "

"I just don't want to accept it because I know it." Jia Zhensheng really hated himself for not having any skills, otherwise it would be great to inherit the inheritance of some ancestor!

No one has received the inheritance of the ancestor Jia of the political generation until now. Thinking about it makes me greedy. Why can't he be psychic?It's strange to say that the ancestor Zheng should be the most rigid old pedant in that era, how could he leave behind an eternal problem of soul dialogue?

Sure enough, the sages are the sages, and your ancestors are still your ancestors.
