Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Seeing Mrs. Wang looking over with a very sure look, Jia's mother was a little surprised by this surprise. How could she remember Baoyu's marriage before?

Moreover, Mother Jia herself knew that even if she got angry now, she would not be able to change their decision. The second wife's success has become an established fact. Now that the empress is pregnant, other things cannot be compared with this, compared with the entire Jia family. Jia Baoyu's marriage can only be backed down, besides, since the second wife and empress are happy with this marriage, why should I be such a bad person again!

It's just that she wronged her own Baoyu. Mother Jia thought about it. At worst, after Baoyu got married, she would choose a few more gentle and considerate concubines for Baoyu so that he could live comfortably. Grandma's love for him was gone.

Mother Jia said to Mrs. Wang in a completely different tone from just now:

"This news was told to you by the father-in-law in the palace just now, so why didn't you hear that the empress mentioned in the oral order that such a happy event should be enjoyed by all the people in the house!"

Mrs. Wang whispered to Jia Mu:

"Shh, old ancestor, your mother is less than two months pregnant, and the fetus is still not very stable. You must not tell the news that your mother is pregnant at this time! If someone takes the opportunity to touch your mother, it will hurt you." The little prince in the empress' womb is not going well!"

Mother Jia has also seen the viciousness of the lady in the back house, not to mention the deep palace compound where all kinds of interests are intertwined. If someone who wants to know the news in advance, the empress and the little prince will be in danger.

Stabilizing her mind, Mother Jia tried her best to calm down her emotions, and asked calmly:

"Is the manpower there enough for the empress? Have you arranged it? Not only can I not spread a little news here, but you can't reveal the slightest word of mouth from yourself. You must do the same as you usually do, but you can't do it at this critical moment." This is our hope for the recovery of the Jia family!"

Mrs. Wang really had nothing to say to her daughter. It was related to her daughter and her immediate interests, so her expression became very serious, and she replied respectfully:

"Don't worry, the old ancestor. When the father-in-law in the palace passed the news to the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law had already sent everyone else far away. Now the news is known to only the old ancestor besides the daughter-in-law. And the empress also Let the daughter-in-law prepare for her the things she needs to use during pregnancy, and let the daughter-in-law find a chance to send it to the palace, old ancestor, what do you think?"

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Jia's mother also felt that it was very necessary. This woman will always have various problems when she is pregnant, which is not the same as usual, so it can't let people find out about the abnormality of the empress!

Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang and asked:

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the things that the empress asked you to prepare, or is there any embarrassment? The second child, you can just say it! The empress can't tolerate any mistakes at this time. With the backing of our Rongguo Mansion - what is the empress's difficulty? We will definitely do our best to help.”

Mrs. Wang looked distressed, she glanced at Mother Jia, and finally had no choice but to say:

"Old Ancestor, you also know that my daughter-in-law's treasury has been almost emptied. Today, after I sent some silver tickets to the palace's rewards and money, the daughter-in-law really can't get any money to buy something for the mother-in-law. Yes, do you see?"

Mrs. Wang thought that she had no money to use, and saw if she could dig out some money from the old lady today. With the old lady's temperament, Mrs. Wang didn't believe that she didn't keep a hand. These days, she didn't see the old lady's daily life. There is a slight sign of shrinking. If there is no money as a base, Mrs. Wang will not believe that Jia Mu would dare to continue spending like this.

How could Mrs. Wang's careful thought be able to hide this old fox from Jia Mu? It's just that these days in the mansion are very difficult, but when it comes to money, Jia Mu thought about it. I left myself in the room, keeping tens of thousands of taels of silver bills for daily expenses. This is the last bit of pension money I have left!

In the end, Mother Jia was the same as Madam Wang -- she didn't want to use the little money she had left, but for the future of the mansion, there was nothing missing for the mother's share!

"I don't have any valuables left here. Didn't our mansion just marry the Xue family? Why don't you go to your sister to ask, anyway, we will be a family in the future, and your mother will be fine." Only the Xue family can get along together!" Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang and made a suggestion.

Mrs. Wang saw that Mother Jia was reluctant to take out any money, and her heart ached with anger, but she could only endure it, but she disagreed with the proposal to continue borrowing money from Xue's family this time, and said:

"The million taels of silver that our mansion received from Xue's family last time has not yet been repaid. Now that we have just settled the marriage, we will go to borrow money. If the Xue family misunderstands that our mansion treats them as a bank, it will be wrong. Beautiful!"

Seeing that she was unwilling, Jia Mu said, "Then what do you want to do? You can't delay your mother."

Mrs. Wang thought about the people around her, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she said:

"Daughter-in-law, there is someone to choose here, but I don't know if you will agree to the old ancestor!"

Seeing that Mother Jia didn't understand, Mrs. Wang continued:

"Think about it, when our mansion was stolen, there was nothing wrong with Lian'er and his wife, and the matter of the empress is a major event in our Rongguo mansion, so make some contributions to the mansion-- I think Lian'er and the others will be very happy!"

It's not that Mrs. Wang doesn't want to mention Mrs. Xing, but thinking that Mrs. Xing came from a small family, spending a little money on weekdays is like killing her, so it's unlikely that the money will be deducted from her, and I can only regret it Let it go.

But Jia Lian and the others also belonged to the big house, so it would be good to get some money from the big house to spend.

Mother Jia had no opinion on this, but said:

"Then you can ask Feng girl and the others, if they agree, then there will be no problem."

Mrs. Wang was very happy when she saw that Mother Jia agreed. As for whether Wang Xifeng would agree--that would be no problem, just look at the matter that Mrs. Wang tricked her into helping her to be the housekeeper, and poured money into it by the way. , it can show the power of Mrs. Wang's methods.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Wang returned to Rongxitang, she asked Wang Xifeng to come over. As soon as she talked about the empress, Wang Xifeng jumped into the pit for the sake of the whole Rongguo Mansion. She didn't need to discuss anything with Jia Lian. Some cash - 5000 taels of silver was given to Mrs. Wang to subsidize the empress.

Temporarily solved the money problem, Mrs. Wang quickly asked Zhou Rui's family to prepare the items on the list, and someone in the palace informed them that it would be no problem to have someone bring them into the palace for the empress tomorrow.

Although the news Li Mo got from Zhuangzi was not well-informed when he was in the mansion, the people who arranged for Jiamu and Mrs. Wang quickly reported Jiamu and the others' actions to Li Mo.

According to what Mrs. Wang and the others had prepared, Li Mo quickly deduced that Jia Yuanchun was pregnant.

Li Mo did not expect Jia Yuanchun to be pregnant so soon, which means that it is not far from Jia's house being ransacked. Li Mo checked his recent things a little nervously. The supplies in the space are almost full. .

The preparations that should be made are almost ready, and now I just need to find an opportunity to cancel the slave status of the two or three confidantes in the mansion, and file in the government.

As for the manpower owned by Li Mo outside the mansion, they are all under the names of other people, and have nothing to do with Li Mo. Li Mo just received their deeds of sale into his own space.

As for whether Li Mo was worried about his subordinates betraying him after their home was ransacked in Jia's mansion, Li Mo said that he didn't have to worry at all, because the two or three subordinates he needed the most had already been given space by Li Mo. A limited number of places is under control.

As long as these three people are under control, such as Li Mo's confidant in the mansion - Xiao Yin, and the two male servants outside the mansion who specialize in doing things for Li Mo, the others don't need to worry about Li Mo at all.

As for Li Mo's other useful servants in Jia's mansion, when Jia's mansion is ransacked, let other people come out and buy them.

Seeing that the time to raid the house is getting closer, Li Mo is sometimes very worried-what if the ending of Jia's mansion is not as recorded in the original book of A Dream of Red Mansions, what if there are other changes?

Even Heng An and Jia Zong, who had recovered from their illnesses recently, knew that Li Mo was not in a good mood recently, so they didn't dare to quarrel with her.In this way, Li Mo worried for a few days, and finally he could only comfort himself - the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, anyway, he has done what he can and should do, and the outcome can only depend on God's will!

As long as it is not the serious crime of being beheaded immediately, Li Mo is not afraid of any other endings. Li Mo still has room to take refuge!

After thinking about it, Li Mo's mood naturally recovered. Taking advantage of this last period of time to relax, Li Mo often took Heng An and Jia Zong to wander around the Zhuangzi, and learned some herbs and wild vegetables by the way!
