The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

At the beginning, he just put on the airs of an elder, thinking that Jia Min would greet her every day, that's all right, the original lady came here in Jia's mansion in the same way, and went to greet her when she got up.This gradually became more and more serious. Although the eldest aunt Lin was poor, she ate extremely tricky food, and she was stronger than anyone else.Since Jia Min got married, she followed the Lin family's bland and peaceful health habits, and gradually changed the extravagant temperament of Jia's family.And that Lin Qianpo can't, chicken, duck and fish are fine, I always have to ask for something out of season, what kind of oil and salt fried wolfberry sprouts in winter, and said that it was originally a dish on the vegetable brand, it must be To make it for her to eat!

It is a vegetable eaten in spring. Where can I find goji berry buds in winter? There is not even a goji berry leaf!If she doesn't like what she wants, she will start a quarrel, either with her official documents to sue Uncle Lin for being harsh and disrespectful to the family members; The person who wanted to drive her away deliberately, but one time he took the money and said that he was going home, then turned around and led two down-and-out Lin family members to slam the door of the Lin family.Neighbors were so noisy that they had to be let in for dinner again, so naturally they refused to leave even more.

It was easy to invite ghosts and difficult to send ghosts. Jia Min, who was fine at first, became uncomfortable when Huaixiang was made uncomfortable. Fortunately, Dr. Ma sent by Rongguo Mansion took care of him all the time.After letting Linqian find out about this, she was full of nonsense, saying that men and women can't kiss each other, how can a male doctor go to the head grandma's house, and all the maids and women in the room are dead!

Such trivial matters make people feel annoyed and have a headache, because Mrs. Lin did not win last time, and seeing that next year it will be Enke again, he is determined to obtain fame and is studying hard in the study. Jia Min doesn't want to bother with these things Although his scabies disease was annoying, he still felt that he was still under control, so he asked his family to hide it from him.

That day was the vernal equinox of February, and it was raining lightly in the spring. Jia Min was rarely in a happy mood, so he asked someone to hold an oil-paper umbrella and sit in the small pavilion in the garden, admiring the light rain on Tianjie, which was as soft as crisp, and the mountains were empty The rain is also strange scenery.

Lin Qianpo was old and cold, and when it rained, her knees were sore and cold, and she only complained about the pain, which frightened the second daughter of the Lin family she brought here to go to Dr. Wu to see her doctor.

Dr. Wu had seen Mrs. Lin once, but she was so old, she still acted like a little girl, she had to talk through a screen, and she refused to let him feel her pulse, calling her a chaste woman!Not only did she have a lot of problems, but she also spoke harshly. As soon as she heard that she was going to see a doctor, Dr. Wu was very unhappy and hid.

Walking around in the garden, he saw Jia Min and his party, and he wanted to help her get a safe pulse. This was the purpose of his coming here. Even if it is a doctor's parents' heart, it is better to be in front of a beautiful woman than an old woman.

Lin Erya didn't take Dr. Wu back, so how could she dare to go back and report to her? Mrs. Lin's crutches are so fierce that it hurts people to death. She asked people all the way to catch up with Dr. Wu, and saw him showing Jia Min from a distance. sickness, I thought it could be explained by going back like this, so I went back and told Granny Lin.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin was furious. She asked the Lin family to carry her on her back and went straight to the garden. When she saw that Dr. Wu was about to tear Lin up, she diverted the momentum and dragged Jia Min away before everyone stopped him. He stopped, and asked viciously, "What are you doing here with him! Are you stealing someone, are you meeting him here!"

Jia Min was so angry that his face changed, and he didn't care about etiquette, "Don't take this woman away! You have to go far away. If you want to sue her, you can sue her. If you knock on the door, just call me out!"

Everyone came early to break Granny Lin's hand, fearing that Jia Min would be hurt. They were worried about accidentally hurting the jade bottle when hitting a mouse, so they didn't dare to use any force. Someone pulled out the hairpin and took the pointed end to stab Granny Lin, so she let go of the pain. She raised two fingers, but it also aroused Mrs. Lin's anger, and she threw her arms around Jia Min and wanted to jump into the water, "Let's die together!" Drag a padded back.

Although she was caught by everyone, Mrs. Lin died on the spot. Before she died, she stared at Jia Min with her eyes fixed on her. After taking the medicine to induce labor, they gave birth to their child prematurely, a quiet girl.

This turmoil was so violent, Lin Hai first saw that his wife and daughter were safe for the time being, and hurried to deal with Mrs. Lin's funeral. After all, she died in his home, and she had a chastity order on her body, and she had to go to the government to get rid of it.After he settled the matter by treating him to a drink, he heard that the Lin family who came to live thought it was all because of Dr. Wu. Mrs. Lin died, so they had no excuse to stay at Lin Hai's house while other family members were busy. Taking care of Jia Min and the newborn young lady, the family beat Dr. Wu half to death with stools and sticks. After beating him, he was afraid, so he packed some family things and ran away.

I had no choice but to ask someone to invite the doctor to come back to see Dr. Wu, and turned to comfort Jia Min. Because of the premature birth, the child was weak, and went around to invite the pediatrician to come back. It was a cold spring and Lin Hai also fell ill.

Seeing that his beloved was coughing and wanted to take care of them, Jia Min pretended to be fine and let him rest, and even wrote a letter to his family to announce the good news. Seeing that she was better, Lin Hai laid down on the bed in peace of mind. After several days of high fever, he finally recovered.

As soon as Jia Zhu arrived, he saw that the elders and the younger were all sick. He became the backbone of the Lin family. Fortunately, he had experienced a lot of experience, and he was not vague in his words and actions. He listened to the envoys and kept the Lin family in order. Seeing that his little cousin is so weak and pitiful, compared to his younger siblings, she dare not even hug her casually. It really hurts her heart.Remembering what my nanny said before, a man's yang is the most beneficial to a daughter's family, so I told my uncle and aunt to put my little cousin in my house to live with me.

Although I have been sleepy for a few days, I feel that it is not easy to raise a child, but it seems to have some effect. After all, my little cousin no longer looks like she is out of breath and is about to die.

"Uncle, it's not that you are a younger generation who is boasting and talking about the elders. Your body is the foundation of everything. You and your aunt don't take good care of your body. Let alone the future, what should you do if you are the cousin in front of you?" Jia Zhu thought of her mother at that time. When he found out that he was not in good health, he tried every means to let him take care of his body, and even more earnestly persuaded him, "Although I am young and old, I know that nothing can buy health."

Lin Hai smiled and nodded, "You are right."

"Doctor Wu should know Wu Qin Xi, let him teach you. From now on, you and I will walk ten thousand steps every day!" Jia Zhu further said that walking is the easiest.

This... Lin Hai still wanted to hesitate, but Jia Zhu pulled him up, and he was about to walk and move around.

"Uncle, let me tell you, don't think that walking is a waste of time sometimes, but every time I walk, my mind is very clear, and I still recite some good sentences like this."

Back then, his mother took him away.

When Jia Zhu wrote down the whole story and sent it back to Rongguo Mansion, Jia's mother read the letter and said, "It's hard for women." Another crazy woman.

Wang Guizhi just felt terrible, "Why does she insist on getting along with the girl? Aunt Mingming treated her with great courtesy!" I can still receive money and grain every year. Since I have no children, I let Jia Min take him in, so I don’t have to worry about food and clothing. I don’t know how much better than the previous days. Why do I have to complain and have to make trouble? .If it was her, she would not have kept it at the beginning, but managed her own life well, and when she was almost the same age, she would just go to the Yangshengtang to adopt a child for the elderly.

Mother Jia sighed, and said leisurely, "When she looks at Min'er, her heart feels like a needle is pricking her. The better Min'er lives, the better she treats her. The more uncomfortable she feels, the more unfair she feels. It's as simple as that." For nearly 40 years, the oppression has kept a person standing empty. When she got the chastity archway, she may have been happy for a while, but the one that followed her was still empty. She was looking for people, looking for a sense of existence, and wanted to tell To herself, everything was worth it, she got it!

But in fact, she knew in her heart that her life was wasted like this.There is no other reason, but jealousy and wanting to destroy.

Jia Zhengjian was still puzzled when his wife returned to the house, so he explained to her in detail, "Since the previous dynasty, widows in the folk have kept their husbands dead before their [-]th birthday, and those who don't change their festivals after their [-]th birthday will be exempted from their family's servants. Because the emperor Daxing commended, chaste women and martyrs emerged one after another, some directly committed suicide, and more people followed themselves, and whipping made widows follow. That Mrs. Lin, I am afraid that she did not want to defend, but had to defend, and finally succeeded in defending. , but still no one remembers her. As a woman, looking at my sister..."

Wang Guizhi felt cold all over her body, and couldn't help hugging Jia Zheng tightly. Reality gave her a resounding slap again, telling her in this way that the world she lived in did not allow her to be presumptuous.

"What's the matter?" Jia Zheng smiled funnyly, "It's impossible for us to have such a person in our family, don't worry." He put his arms around her back, "I'll take good care of myself, and I won't make you a widow."

No wonder Li Wan has such a temperament in the book. Once young and widowed, apart from his son, there is no hope for love between men and women.And some people are even more miserable, and there is no way to guarantee their basic life.

But there are also those who are not widows. Youshi's stepmother remarried with her two daughters. Wang Guizhi finally felt better after finding a more positive comfort.

"Why do women have to be widowed like this? Is this good for the court? It must be publicized like this? What's wrong with widows remarrying?" Wang Guizhi boldly asked Jia Zheng.

"Huh?" Jia Zheng heard this question for the first time, and he thought for a while before saying, "It seems that a woman is chaste and virtuous, and her parents, officials, and even the Holy Majesty are well-ruled. For chaste women, it seems benevolent, courteous, and merciful. "

"Benevolence..." Wang Guizhi said in a daze, "This is the tool used by the Holy Majesty to rule us." The so-called good reputation and rules are the same. They are all for the protection of the Holy Majesty's decision. to restrain the instruments of their domination.

Jia Zheng patted his wife on the back lightly, "Sleep, it's better to have rules than no rules." Troubled times are more dangerous, and even roads need to be found and opened up again.The efforts of their grandparents made them no longer fight for survival, but for rights.

The next day, Wang Guizhi yawned and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her finger. Recently, she was very sleepy, and she always seemed to be sleepy. Feng Zhenlan sent her mother-in-law to tell her that her sister-in-law in Jinling came to Jinling with her daughter Wang Xifeng Already, there will be a banquet at the palace tomorrow, please invite her over to talk about it.

Upon hearing Wang Xifeng's name, Wang Guizhi cheered up and said, "Okay, I get it, I will definitely go tomorrow." Although she never thought about letting Wang Xifeng enter Jia's house again, she still wanted to see another story in the article. A different type of heroine, Feng Lazi with all five spicy flavors.

Caiyun was embroidering her own wedding things. Seeing his wife was happy for a while, her eyes could not open again as if she wanted Caifeng and Caixia to prepare for the meeting ceremony, put down her needlework and came to help her on the couch. "Doctor Zhang has already said that it is good for you to sleep more at this time. Since you are sleepy, why bother with your body? Have you seen that the eldest lady and even the old lady come here less often? You and her are both pregnant women, why are you still here?" You have to be strong. I used to go to the East Mansion and I was exhausted, otherwise my last child would not be like this."

Caixia turned her head and smiled, "Don't talk about it, my wife has fallen asleep early." Seeing that Caiyun covered her with a thin blanket, "You bring the needlework here, and we will do it together, so that you don't have to do it when the time comes." Sister-in-law doesn't have new shoes to wear."

Although Caiyun is shy, she is not polite. She owes much to Caixia in needlework.

"When are you going to get married?"

"At least wait until my wife gives birth, otherwise I won't feel at ease." Caiyun glanced at Wang Guizhi who was sleeping soundly, "What did you plan? I know I misunderstood you last time, but you are not young Already, have you achieved success?"

Caixia also looked at Wang Guizhi, and saw that there was still a faint blue shadow under her eyelids, she said with some distress, "I will follow my wife."

"Hey, don't you want to get married?" Caiyun gently scratched her face, "Could it be that you have fallen in love with Mr. Zhu?" She smiled back, but said seriously, "Don't think about it, I see what my wife means. , I will not let the uncle let people in the house casually."

"You always think about me with these crooked thoughts, grandpa and grandpa, I don't want any of them, I just stay by my wife's side for the rest of my life." Caixia also confided all her thoughts, "For a daughter like us, if we say that we are lucky It’s not good, it’s okay to say it’s not good, I know about the hard life of the little girls, they’re almost like living on the tip of a needle, and it’s only when they come in that they have a good day. Beaten and scolded, eat the same as the master, in addition to serving his wife, he can also listen to his wife telling stories, jokes like the little masters, and usually gives us everything the master has and can give us. Teach carefully, better than those What a stinky man, I don’t know where it’s going to be. I just hate that I’m getting older year by year. If I’m not here forever, I can always be by my wife’s side.”

When Caiyun heard her say this, she also became a little crazy, thinking that Caixia was married, and even though she was still working by her wife's side, she didn't have the caring at this time. The heart that originally wanted to marry faded away.

"But how can it work? Every few years, a new girl will be selected to come up. Sooner or later, we will all go out."

"Yeah, but let's talk about it when the time comes, maybe then I really want a man?"

"Well, you ghost girl, I told you to stop, but you turned around to embarrass me, see if I don't hit you!"

The two played and played in low voices for a while, seeing that his wife hadn't been woken up at all, they both covered their mouths and laughed.

Even though he went to bed early, Wang Guizhi still felt drowsy and forced himself to go to greet Jia Mu. Jia Mu said distressedly, "I know you are filial, so don't be stuck at this moment. Since you love sleepiness, go to sleep."

Wang Guizhi smiled and said, "My sister-in-law and niece came from Jinling, and I have to go there for dinner today."

"Although she is your sister-in-law, she can come to see you. Do I have to let you go?" Seeing that her eyes were blurred, she looked like a little deer, and Jia Mu couldn't help laughing, "You are not afraid of plunging headlong into the dining table." .” Let Yiren prepare a gift and come out, “Go, go early and come back early.”

Thinking that it would be better to take Yuan Chun away, Wang Guizhi said again, "I also want to ask you for someone, to ask Yuan Chun for a day's leave, and let me go with me."

"Okay, let's take it to the competition and see which family's daughter is better." Jia Mu laughed, and asked Yuan Chun to get a pink snow-green cloak with gold-cut silk edges.

Sitting in the carriage, Wang Guizhi held Yuan Chun's hand, his eyelids were twitching, Yuan Chun piled up the pillows and made Wang Guizhi tilt, and he stayed by the side talking to his mother, "This time, my brother must be quiet, maybe he likes to sleep in the future .”

"Yeah, this time I must have given birth to a sleeping god... Ha..." Wang Guizhi wanted to talk to his daughter to relieve his troubles, but he fell asleep without saying a few words, and fell asleep all the way to the palace before being shaken awake .

The sister-in-law of the Wang family wanted to put on airs, but Feng Zhenlan ignored her and went to meet her in person, so she had no choice but to stand up and wait at the door. Wang Xifeng stood behind her mother, looking out with her red phoenix eyes. .

I saw my aunt helping a petite woman of not tall stature to come in. She was wearing an apricot red white silk gray rabbit jacket, a jade-colored plate and gold embroidered cotton skirt, and a sapphire blue silk gown covering her head.It's nothing more than other attires, just wearing the red gold phoenix necklace on the neck and the dazzling precious light hanging below, so the colorful embroidery is brilliant.It must be a figure like a concubine or a fairy, but upon closer inspection, it turns out that she is only fair-skinned, with the appearance of a man from a small family of jade, just looking young, with a childlike air.

But he saw a girl about her age standing beside her, with shaved shoulders, a long and slender figure, fresh cheeks, red lips and bright teeth, forgetting the vulgarity when seeing it, Wang Xifeng pulled herself together and deliberately compared with her Compete.

Yuan Chun also saw a beautiful girl in flames, and seeing her looking straight at him, he pursed his lips and smiled at her, thinking that this was Cousin Xifeng.

Wang Guizhi was so sleepy, he finally saw the sister-in-law of the Wang family and Wang Xifeng whom he was thinking of, and gave them gifts, and then looked at his nephew Zhengxiang who was sleeping with a rattle in his hand. Feng Zhenlan hurriedly asked someone to help her to sleep in the eldest lady's boudoir.

The sister-in-law of the Wang family couldn't help but twist her mouth, "You're so sleepy, haven't you slept at night?"

Feng Zhenlan also found it strange, so she asked Caiyun who was beside her, and she went to bed early.Turning her head to think about it, the more she felt something was wrong, since it was not her first child, the Jia family would let her eat, even if she didn't take good care of it, she wouldn't feel sleepy every day. "Have you let the doctor see it?"

"Doctor Zhang in the mansion said that the wife's pulse is strong, and it's good. He doesn't know why the wife is always sleepy." Cai Yun thought, "Right now, I have to sleep at least seven hours a day."

Wang Xifeng just felt bored, and heard from her father and mother that the second uncle in Beijing loved her aunt the most, and the Rongguo Mansion she married was also the most prestigious, but she never expected her aunt to be like this, speaking softly and softly, with her It's completely different from what you imagined!On the contrary, my cousin is beautiful and well-dressed, and I really want to talk to her.

It's a pity that Yuan Chun was so focused on his mother at this time, he didn't notice the eagerness in Wang Xifeng's eyes.

Feng Zhenlan has already made a decision, "Please ask a doctor to take a look, if you are still not sure." She frowned and turned around, "I will lead you to Daruo Temple. Master Wen Cui there is proficient in Buddhism... ..." Seeing that the sister-in-law of the Wang family is still here, "Sister-in-law, please lead the girls to play for a while."

The sister-in-law of the Wang family wanted to follow along to watch the fun. She wanted to see these ghostly things that are disgusting. It seems that the people in the capital are very powerful. In Jinling, they only need to be killed directly. How can they use such methods.

When Aunt Zhao heard that the wife had gone to the palace today, she slapped her thighs happily, and put the things given to her by Ma Daopo, who had finally found a way to become a hair combing woman, under the pillow, and then went to find out where the master was.

Knowing that he was in Mengpo Zhai, he was even more happy to change into a small set of clothes, put on golden flower shoes, and walked to the small study.

The wife is pregnant, this is the third child, and she still eats bitterness and jealousy, and keeps the master under strict control, refusing to reveal even a little bit. Finally, the tigress is not at home. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, otherwise When my wife gets back those contraceptive condoms, it's useless to let them get wet.

Jia Zheng looked again at the application for transferring to the ministry, and he hesitated in his heart. He has been working in the Ministry of Industry for so many years, if he transfers to the Ministry of Households at this time, his foundation will be lost.However, the Fourth Division of the Ministry of Industry is also hard to get assignments abroad.When he was having a hard time making a decision, when he was hit by a gust of fragrant wind, he was startled, and when he opened his hands, he realized that it was Aunt Zhao, "What are you doing here?"

"Master! How can you say such a thing!" Aunt Zhao looked at Jia Zheng with charming eyes, "Master, you are so cruel..." As she spoke, her long and pointed nails gently drew on his chest circle.

"...Get out!" Jia Zheng blushed. Although he was a little moved by Aunt Zhao's actions, when he thought of what his wife said to his son at that time, and also thought of her petty nature, he still harbored a heartache. My child, if only I knew that I...

"Presumptuous! Is this a place where you can come? Go back quickly, I just pretend that you have never been here before."

Aunt Zhao gritted her teeth and hated deeply, "Master, what do you mean? You didn't treat me like this at the beginning! I don't know what kind of drug my wife gave the master to make him fall like this! She is too jealous Don't say that we are divided into two days in a month, even in a year, we are not allowed two days. It's hard to be away, what are you afraid of, master, I will keep it safe and not tell it!" She put her red lips together, Hook Jia Zheng's neck and hook down.

"Nonsense, why would I be afraid of her!" Jia Zheng was about to scold her when he heard a servant kneel down at the door and shouted loudly, "Mrs. Uncle please go to Daruo Temple quickly."

Jia Zheng pushed Aunt Zhao away, straightened his clothes and said, "Prepare your horse, let's go right away." He turned to Aunt Zhao and said, "Go back quickly, don't embarrass yourself here."

Aunt Zhao's complexion changed a little, and she wanted to throw all the things in the study on the ground and sprinkle it all over the floor, but she didn't dare, so she had to go back to the house, crying, and threw the things Ma Daopo gave into the brazier and burned them , "No! Not at all!" Damn it, wasting her 50 taels of silver!

"what happened?"

When Jia Zheng came to Daruo Temple, a young novice led him to a meditation room. His wife was sleeping soundly, but the maids of Yuanchun next to him asked, frowning as if they were mourning.

"The great monk said that my mother was cast by someone. If I can't find the person who cast the curse, I might not be able to sleep." Yuan Chun sobbed and said, seeing his father coming, he threw himself into Jia Zheng's arms and cried loudly. Get up, "Auntie said that there is something wrong with my mother sleeping too much, so I asked the monk to look at it, and said..."

How can it be!It must be a lie, right?

Jia Zheng was confused, and touched Wang Guizhi's face with his hand. His breath was even and his complexion was ruddy. No matter how he looked, he seemed to be asleep.He simply shook her vigorously, "Madam, Madam, wake up, wake up."

"I can't wake up! No matter how I called just now, my mother didn't respond! Father, what should I do!" Yuan Chun was very sad.

Jia Zheng also became flustered, "Where is your aunt?"

"Over there, the great monk said he didn't know how to do this, so my aunt donated 500 taels of sesame oil, and I must let him find a way."

It was like a scam set by a scammer. Jia Zheng called Caiyun to him, "Why did you come here suddenly? Didn't you say that you will meet the sister-in-law from Jinling today?"

Caiyun didn't dare to cry anymore, and explained the situation in detail, "When I moved it to the car, I still hummed softly, but I can't wake up no matter how much I push it here!"

"You guys, have you ever left your wife for half a step?"

Jia Zheng still didn't quite believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, thinking that someone might have been drugged.Madam is pregnant, she is always sleepy, Dr. Zhang clearly said that Madam's pulse is very good, he has been in the mansion for such a long time, it is impossible to deceive him.Come to this Daruo Temple suddenly, can't you wake up?Could it be that it was another fake temple that deceived the world, and secretly fed some sleeping pills to his wife, so that they would be anxious to add sesame oil and money?

The author has something to say:...just do it again, and don't dare to do it again next time.

I'm going to be sleepy too...
