The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

When he got up early the next morning, Jia Zheng had already gone to court and was no longer in the house.Wang Guizhi first read the few things he had written in the pamphlet, divided them into priorities, and let them dress up and change clothes before walking to greet Jia Mu.

"Get up quickly." Jia's mother was in a good mood, "The snake soup you sent yesterday is good, your daughter and I both love it." It's a coincidence that she has the ability but never shows it. She has not sent it for so many years. The errand didn't even say a word.Although she is not obedient and flattering, the kitchen has been tidied up for her these past few days, and she has had a few days of comfortable meals, especially the occasional dishes that she brings, some of which are simple but very much to her liking.It can be said that they have used it well these few days, and they have saved a lot of monthly bills.Unless you have to add food, you don't need to spend an extra penny in the kitchen.

Wang Guizhi smiled and said, "Then let them cook and eat. The water snake cures thirst, restlessness, and eyesight. After a few days, this dish will not taste good anymore. It's not in season. Then there will be other dishes." Cai honor you."

"That's good, then I'll order it again." It was delivered yesterday, and she and Yuan Chun ate a bowl, and there was still half a jar left. The girls in her room were not enough, and she wanted to reward a few more. An old mother, because she was changing the kitchen, Jia's mother didn't want to add trouble to Mrs. Wang, so she secretly wanted to help her.She wants to waive the silver reward, which she thinks is excellent.If they usually have to be rewarded with money and silver for everything to move them, then if there is something that really needs to be rewarded, the reward must be heavier, otherwise they will feel unfair again.

After a while Mrs. Li also came over, her face was covered with makeup but it was thickly applied, she looked dull, especially in front of Li Wan, a young new wife, she was more and more like a lily in flowers, a green lotus in water .

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Wang Guizhi said, "Old lady, it will be your birthday in a few days, and the other sister-in-laws are all ready. Yesterday, the master reminded me that our sister-in-law will come if she can't keep it." Xiaozhu, I had someone look at her room, it has been cleaned and the window screens have been changed. It’s just that I know the daughter, Mo Ruomu, I don’t know about the furnishings, how many pieces do you want to add or subtract?”

Jia's mother loves Jia Min, the youngest daughter the most. She stood up holding the charming hand and said, "Don't worry about this matter, I'll just play with it."

"But the old ancestor wanted to open a private treasury for the sake of his sweetheart. I'm a little kid, so I must go and have a look." Li Wan knew that his wife was busy, and thought that the old lady would be accompanied by her, and said with a smile.

Mother Jia nodded with her hand, "I don't have any good things that I don't give you, come and help me, and let you take whatever you like in a while." She looked at Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang again, "You two One, come along or not?"

Mrs. Li accompanied her with a smile, "I'm greedy for the old lady's things, but it's a pity that I don't have time to spare."

"The old ancestor will take Yuanchun to see it again. I have two monkeys who have gone to occupy things, so I won't go by myself." Wang Guizhi also said.

Jia's mother took Yuan Chun, who was cute and cute at the moment, with one hand, and helped the elegant and dignified Li Wan to leave. She could vaguely hear the grandparents and grandson discussing whether it would be better to put some flowers, birds, fish and insects, or the crane to give the child away.

Wang Guizhi turned towards Mrs. Li, "I'll go back to the house first, sister-in-law."

Mrs. Li saw that she was going back straightforwardly, and wanted to stop her to ask, but felt that she was too impatient, she couldn't even stand firmly, and staggered, but it was the nanny and the girl who supported her.

"My dear wife, please ask the imperial physician to come back and have a look, this doesn't seem like a minor symptom!"

"Silence! The old lady's room, why are you making so much noise?" Mrs. Li stared wide-eyed, and the nanny had to keep her mouth shut. She came out of Jia Mu's room, walked out of the flower hall, and came to the door of the ceremony. She said to the nanny, "Hurry up." What's the matter, the acute disease will go away temporarily after the chronic disease is treated slowly. After the old lady's happy event is over, how can I not look down on the imperial doctor?" She got into the sedan chair, and was carried out from the west corner door. Passing by the main entrance of Rongguo Mansion, enter the black oil gate of her house, put on a sedan chair, and return to her yard.

The nanny was busy serving hot tea, but Mrs. Li refused to use it because she thought it was too hot, so she untied her collar and fanned her with a fan, "Seeing that it's getting colder every day, why is my wife still so irritable?"

"Look at her, she walks every day to greet the old lady, there is no sweat on her face, and her complexion is good..." Mrs. Li is not without envy. She has only one brother Lian under her knees. In recent years, the master has not lost much. Putting people in the house is not as good as Mrs. Wang's life alone.She caressed her stomach in a daze, "Why don't I give birth to one more?" so that brother Lian can also help, if she goes away, what will her brother Lian do?He is still so young...

"Dragonfly, look, ma'am, the red dragonfly!"

Xu Zhen's mother and child are heart-to-heart, brother Lian ran in, Baiyu Xiaopang was holding a big dragonfly with red wings in his hand, he held it up to show Mrs. Li like a treasure.

Seeing her son's big eyes flickering, his smile is so pretty, Mrs. Li hugged Brother Lian and burst into tears, "My brother Lian...my son..."

The ignorant Jia Lian was so frightened that he threw away all the dragonflies he managed to catch. He was so clumsy that he wiped away tears for Mrs. Li. He opened his mouth and exhaled Xuexue to Mrs. Li.

Seeing this, the nanny couldn't help but shed tears, she just turned her back, gritted her teeth and tried her best to hold back.Yesterday, the Li family sent another letter to urge them, asking why the wife didn't deliver the news to the family, and asked for money, asking for 2 taels, saying that since the married girl refused to help, Jia's mansion is so rich, so let's take some money. When the money comes out to spend, they will plan for themselves.

These words are like a knife to the heart, but how can the wife get so much money in cash!Only if you secretly want to pawn your own things, you have to hide it from the master and refuse to let him know.The old lady's birthday is in front of her, and the family is looking around for preparations, and the wife doesn't want to show a little bit of timidity, all of them hold her breath!

Misery!

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, Jia Min's house has just been tidied up, and now there is a pot of crystal stevia with a very large mouth, when someone comes to report, "Announce the old lady, our lady will bring my uncle back to give Happy birthday to you."

"Please come in quickly." Jia Mu said happily, "My daughter is back, and I will entertain myself. Pearl opens the box and takes out two taels of silver, so that the kitchen can prepare an extra banquet."

Wang Guizhi was embarrassed, she didn't want to be frugal even when entertaining relatives, "The old lady is embarrassing me, even if there are a few more sister-in-laws, there will be meals for them from the public as usual. Let the old lady pay the money."

"Oh, I don't care about you, I just want to invite you." Jia Mu smiled, "To tell you the truth, my private money is more than yours."

Now that he said that, Wang Guizhi had no choice but to let Jiamu be the first person who ordered food and gave money, "The old lady prefers my sister-in-law, and my daughter-in-law wants to be jealous."

Coincidentally, Jia Min heard these words, and she frowned. This second sister-in-law still can't speak like this, and if her daughter-in-law waits in front of her, she can compare to her daughter who was born in October.So what if it's sour? It really doesn't make sense.

"Uncle Lin is here."

Wang Guizhi, Mrs. Li, Li Wan and others all stood up, and even Jia Mu raised her eyes to look at the door, and the curtain was lifted. One was wearing a scarlet satin embroidered rose gold double-ring pattern, and a red satin embroidered multi-colored skirt. The graceful woman in the ancient lily skirt walked in quickly, and leaned into Jia Mu's arms like a swallow falling into a forest, "Mother!"

"My dear!"

The mother and daughter fell in love when they met each other, Wang Guizhi thought, the transportation is too inconvenient at this time, if they marry far away, they will never see each other a few times in their lifetime, it would be great if Yuan Chun could marry nearby.How about starting to look for a partner now, seeing that everyone was so excited that she was about to cry, she also took out her handkerchief to make fun of it, tilted her head slightly, and saw Lin Hai, Lin Daiyu's biological father.

No wonder she was able to give birth to such a light, elegant, ethereal and wonderful woman as Sister Lin. Not only is Jia Min, who is a mother, a peerless beauty, but Lin Hai is quiet and introverted, with fresh clothes and angry horses, the moon is clear and the wind is clear, and she is dressed in a blue robe. With a trickle of intentions, Jia Min and Jia Min are really a match made in heaven.

Seeing Wang Guizhi looking at him, Lin Hai bowed slightly to Wang Guizhi, and Wang Guizhi quickly knelt down and returned the salute.

Jia Min wiped away her tears, and helped Jia's mother to sit back on the couch, "It's rare to see her last time, but it's my fault that I caused my mother to cry." She slapped herself lightly twice, and then returned to Lin Hai's side , Seriously kowtow to Jia Mu on the big red round mat put up by the girls.

"Greetings to the old lady."

"Okay, you're all good kids, get up."

Mother Jia hugged her daughter happily again, and said to Lin Hai, "We girls are talking about our own things, my uncle is bored here, let the boys lead her to her brother's study for entertainment."

Lin Hai smiled and said yes, he bowed his hands towards Mrs. Li, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li Wan, and retreated gracefully.

Jia Min talked to his mother for a long time, and after expressing his feelings, he asked people to bring in the things he had brought for the old lady to see, including the old lady's birthday gift, and some things that he thought of at home, and his brother Sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces even have their own copy of Yingchun, and everything is meticulous and exact.

Wang Guizhi thought, if Jia Min could live a long and healthy life, sister Lin would not suffer so much even if she lived in Jia's mansion.Her gaze was fixed on Jia Min for a while, and Jia Min was a little aware of it. She raised her chin slightly and said to Wang Guizhi, "What's wrong with the second sister-in-law? Haven't seen me for a long time, don't you recognize me?"

When she was not married, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Wang had already married in, so how could she not know her!
