[Red Mansion] This world is a bit chaotic

"I can live my life as I want. I should be thankful for being able to get away this time. If it takes another year or so, my father and second uncle will really fall into Jia Zhen's tricks, oh, don't say uncle I am afraid that the lives of the whole family will be at stake." Whenever Jia Lian thought of the good deeds that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong revealed about her father and second uncle, she would get angry.It should be said that it was fortunate that this matter was exposed early, otherwise I might not be able to escape, and I might not know what the whole family would be like by then.

Now that he can get such a result, he is already satisfied. As for the title, why doesn't he feel it is a pity?But what about the situation now?It is already a blessing that the family is safe, if it is not for the face of the cousin Jia Yuanchun who became the princess and the aunt and uncle of the Lin family, how could they come out without typhoid fever after only one night in the prison of the Ministry of punishment?It would be too much to complain.

After being said by Jia Lian, Jia Amnesty had nothing to say, and he said in a low voice, "Am I thinking about myself? It's not for you, for my grandson. You will all be civilians in the future, without titles and official status." , Even if you study, you can’t get into the Jincheng School! You have to spend money to study in the official school!”

Why doesn't Jia Lian feel regretful?It's just useless to say anything now.If he had known today, he wouldn't be afraid of difficulties and be lazy at the beginning, and if he worked harder, he would be good at taking the exam, even if he was hired as a small official, he could pave the way for his descendants.But thinking about it again, that's all, if he really has an official position, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get out of this incident.Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, which is probably the case.

That night, there was no adult male in the family, Mrs. Xing and Yingchun were with Wang Xifeng. They didn't know what the future would be like, and they felt uneasy. Now that Jia She and Jia Lian came back together, they all recited Buddha's name in their hearts. .

Especially Yingchun, she thought she was afraid that Jia She and Jia Lian would be convicted and exiled this time, but now she can come back safely, she is obedient, but she is fined and fined. .

Although Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng had lost their relationship, seeing him come back safely, she was relieved, but still calm.

After all, the three of them were dirty and messy, so they hurriedly went to wash up separately.

After the opening of the mansion yesterday, except for a few servants who were taken away by the officers and soldiers due to problems, the other maids and servants could go home as long as they lived in the registered residence of the officers and soldiers who guarded the gate.Almost everyone went to register yesterday, and most of those who have verified their information and can go home today have already left. The rest of them are either those who have not verified their information and cannot leave, or their family promised three times their wages to stay temporarily. , but even so, there are not enough servants in this mansion now.Therefore, Mrs. Xing and the others could barely help with some light tasks.

After all, there was a little bit of stumbling, but now I feel a little afraid in my heart, and I don't dare to complain, I just say that these servants are heartless and snobbish.

But Jia Lian said that he couldn't blame them. Who wouldn't think about their own wealth and life when encountering such a terrible thing?Those people just want to avoid disaster, but they don't even want to pay their wages.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang have finished serving their masters, and they have to rush to Mother Jia to serve them.Most of the maids and women around Jiamu also left, especially the family of Mrs. Lai, and even the glass around her was taken away by the officers and soldiers, saying that they had something to do with them.

At this moment Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang came and reported to Mrs. Jia. It turned out that Mrs. Lai's family had accepted Jia Zhen's money, and she had been helping her inquire about the news in the Rong Mansion on weekdays. Using the name of Jia's family to help people with affairs and so on, but because Jia Zheng raised his concubine and lost his official position and made a joke, Mrs. Wang gave up on Jia Zheng again, so the matter didn't work out, but it was Mrs. Lai's son Lai Da. Lai Er, in private, secretly used the name of the Jia family to help people do some forced buying and selling activities, but he didn't dare to contaminate the lawsuit and take people's lives.

Although it was a crime made by the Lai family, the Jia family had to bear some responsibilities, so this became a part of the Jia family's guilt book. It is the fault of this family who are ungrateful and ungrateful to fall to this point.

"Really...I really wish I could beat them to death..." Mother Jia was very angry. She thought that she was good to Mrs. Lai, and that her grandson Lai Shangrong wanted to go to a government school, and it was she who asked Jia Zheng to ask someone to entrust him. Because of the relationship, a lot of silver taels were paid less.

"Shut up, old lady." After this incident, Madam Xing, who was not very courageous at all, became more and more frightened, "It's a bad habit of the previous dynasty to kill servants with a board, so we can't mention it again."

Mother Jia glared at Mrs. Xing angrily, and watched her lower her head timidly before swallowing her anger, but she didn't say anything more. After what happened yesterday, it's not only Mrs. Xing who feels timid?After all, she also understood that the grandeur of the old ancestors, the beauty of the concubine's grandmother, and the face of the official secretary's mother-in-law are only counted if others are willing to give them to them.

Especially when I think that I do have some words and deeds of "what if I was in the previous court" in my daily life, I feel a little guilty, but I hope that no one will know about these things, but Mrs. Lai often flatters me in front of me. After listening to it, let her be sentenced to death and beheaded quickly.

That night, Jiamu slept very restlessly, and she started to burn in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Yuanyang, the servant girl who was serving her, found out early, and hurriedly invited Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang over. .

When the officials asked about the situation, they didn't feel embarrassed, and they didn't stop people from going out to ask for a doctor, but now don't even think about the imperial doctor or something.

It's just that it's late at night, so it's not easy to invite a doctor, not to mention that Jia's house was besieged a few days ago, and the timid doctor waved his hands away when he heard that he was going to Jia's mansion, for fear of going in, and Jia's mansion would be captured again tomorrow. Wai, I can't get out by myself.

In the end, he had to pay a lot of money to invite two doctors to come over, prescribed some medicines, and left the house in a hurry.

Mother Jia drank the medicine and became more stable, but the fever did not subside much.

So at dawn, Jia Lian rushed to Lin's mansion and knocked on the door.

When Jia Min heard this, she was also anxious. She took Lin Ruhai's post and went to the imperial hospital to invite an imperial doctor, and they rushed to Jia's mansion together.

When I came to Jia's mother, I saw Mrs. Xing guarding. When I asked Mrs. Wang, she said that Jia Baoyu had a nightmare yesterday, and now she was talking nonsense, which was not good, so Mrs. Wang went to guard.

Jia Min didn't care about that much, she just stared at the imperial doctor who gave her a pulse and prescribed a prescription, saying that Jia's mother was just shocked for a while, and there was nothing serious about it, as long as she was alive and well.

Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief. Mother Jia is so old, she is really afraid that something will happen to her at this time, which is really something she doesn't want to see.

The imperial physician was instructing Mrs. Xing to wait for Jia Mu's daily taboos and matters that should be paid attention to when serving. Mrs. Wang hurried over and asked Jia Min to let the imperial physician show Jia Baoyu a look.

Jia Min was silent for a moment, agreed, and invited the imperial physician to move.

Speaking of which, she didn't have a good or bad impression of Jia Baoyu. If he had been able to persist in the Lin family for a longer time, maybe they would have developed a deeper relationship.It's just that every time something happened to that child, she would either be calculated or blamed, and it would never end well. Emotionally, she couldn't help but want to stay away from him.

I just invited the imperial doctor to leave the hospital, but I saw Yingchun standing there, asking Jia Min to take a step to speak.

Yingchun has always been the most punctual, dignified and steady, but now she is here to stop her, presumably there is something urgent.

Jia Min was puzzled, and saw Mrs. Wang yelling at Yingchun: "Second girl, your younger brother is very sick now, why are you here to stop the imperial physician?"

Yingchun paused for a moment, but didn't flinch, and insisted: "What I want to say is about Baoyu's condition, but a few words will not delay anything."

Seeing Mrs. Wang's stern look, Jia Min felt even more suspicious, so she asked the imperial physician to wait for her, and walked aside to talk with Yingchun.

Yingchun said in a low voice: "Baoyu's illness was originally a heart disease, but it was because Xiren, the maid who served daily, left the mansion yesterday and went home. Before leaving, she cried and complained about her reluctance and reluctance. I couldn't keep them, and I felt depressed in my heart, so I had nightmares at night. The reason why the second wife invited the imperial doctor to see..."

Yingchun paused, then sighed and said: "It's just... I don't know who talked too much about Sister Lin with Baoyu. Baoyu is in a daze at the moment, and all the words in her dreams are Sister Lin..."

Having said that, Yingchun doesn't need to explain anymore, Jia Min's expression is already very ugly.Is this because the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, and she is counting on her Yu'er again?

Jia Baoyu was originally depressed because the servant girl left him, but at this moment he wanted to put a shit bowl on Daiyu's head, and call Daiyu in a daze in front of the imperial physician. Is it lovesickness for Daiyu?

Jia Min, who became more sensitive and disgusted by the calculation of splashing dirty water because of the matter of water dissolution, although intellectually knew that the mastermind of this matter would never be Jia Baoyu, but Mrs. Wang's plan for Jia Baoyu, but it did not hinder She cut off the little aunt and nephew affection for Jia Baoyu, and she hated Mrs. Wang even more.

Yes, Mrs. Wang is strong if she is a mother. Knowing that the Jia family is going to decline, it will be difficult for Jia Baoyu to have a future. Jia Baoyu is a daughter-in-law in the hope that he can get the care of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, and Jia Baoyu's love for his son is also touching.

But she is a mother, so isn't Jia Min?Her own son is a son, so her Jia Min's daughter is not a daughter?

Jia Min really wanted to pry open Mrs. Wang's head to see if there were any bright and aboveboard calculations inside besides these dark calculations.

Besides, Mrs. Wang's calculation is simply absurd and naive. Take it easy, the imperial doctor knows what to say and what not to say. Going out will have some influence on Daiyu, so why would Jia Min send her daughter into this pit of fire because of this little gossip?What a joke!This is not the era when women's fame was greater than their lives in the previous dynasty.

Jia Min glanced at Mrs. Wang, but saw that she was angry with Yingchun and guilty of facing Jia Min, but there was no guilt or uneasiness on her face.

Jia Min instinctively felt that his heart was burning very hot, so he could only take a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said to the imperial physician: "Mr. I went home, I couldn’t think about it for a while, and I was a little depressed. You always look at prescribing a few warming medicines. I’ll ask someone to fry them for him. My mother’s side is the most important thing. She is really old. Now, I ask Dr. Li to be more considerate."

That doctor Li is very good at looking at people's eyes, and he immediately understood that the sister-in-law might be a bit tricky between the two of them, and he didn't care, anyway, the person who invited him here was Jia Min, and the person he wanted to show face was also Jia Min. Naturally know who to listen to.

Immediately, he went back to Jiamu's room to guard respectfully, without saying a word, and Mrs. Wang's eager call was ignored, and he just pretended not to hear it.

Mrs. Wang wanted to rush in angrily, but she was blocked by the woman next to Jia Min. Jia Min frowned and said, "Second wife is yelling like this, disturbing mother, can you bear it?"

Mrs. Wang said bitterly: "You are an aunt, how can you be so cruel, you just hate me for looking down on me, but after all Baoyu is from the Jia family and the only seedling of your second elder brother, how can you stop the imperial doctor from giving it to me?" Is your nephew seeing a doctor?"

Seeing Jia Zheng coming from the side, Jia Min's expression became very ugly when she heard Mrs. Wang's words, and she looked at her with reproachful eyes. She couldn't think of an explanation in her heart, but said lightly: " If you say that I am cruel, I also learned from you, the second wife. If you want to plot against my daughter, is it possible that I have to thank you and rush to please you? I would like to advise the second wife, don’t treat everyone in the world as a fool. A smart one. You think that greatness is your own business, but you have to know that what you can do for Baoyu, I can do more for my daughter. I will never let it go. If you don’t believe me, you can try it. I, Jia Min, am not soft and timid. Finally, I can’t say that Baoyu is the only child of the second elder brother. Where will the second wife put Lan’er gone?"

Said, without looking at Jia Zheng, just turned his head and went into Jia Mu's room.In this Jia family, there is only one Jia's mother who needs her to be filial.As for brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews, there is no reason why she should be a married woman to take care of them and take care of them for life.

On the other hand, the elder brother, although the elder brother is shameless, but fortunately Jia Lian is quite experienced, and Yingchun is also a good girl, so she will naturally take care of them in the future.

Yingchun watched Mrs. Wang look at her with resentful eyes, and smiled wryly in her heart but did not regret it.In her previous life, she was afraid of this and that, she didn't dare to control anything, she didn't dare to say anything, and she was polite and tolerant to everyone, but in the end, who would pity her?It's rare that life in this life is no longer as painful as in the previous life. Does she still have to pretend to be confused and let others bully and plot against Daiyu?Daiyu ended up like that in her previous life, how can people not feel distressed, is she not responsible at all?If she dares to speak up and protect her more, and the sisters support and take care of each other instead of having their own thoughts, even if the ending can't be changed, they will be happier in their hearts.

Jia Zheng, who was ignored by Jia Min, was very embarrassed, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only give Mrs. Wang a vicious look, listening to Jia Min's words, he was afraid that the stupid woman did something to offend Jia Min again. The family is troubled, and there will be many places to beg Jia Min in the future, so she can't calm down?

But when Mrs. Wang saw Jia Zheng's reproachful eyes, she didn't take it to heart at all.This man, apart from only blaming this and that, doesn't take any responsibility.She also didn't want to calculate, and wanted to be flattered by others like Jia Min, but could Jia Zheng compare with Lin Ruhai?Can?

Seeing that even Mrs. Wang ignored him, the fire in Jia Zheng's heart was about to explode, but he had no other choice but to swallow the breath.In this world, he can't afford to offend even one person, how aggrieved?

When Jia Min returned to the room, Mother Jia had already taken the medicine and was somewhat sober.

Seeing Jia Min coming, Jia's mother was also very happy. A few days ago, when the mansion was closed, Jia Min couldn't come, but now Jia Min can invite the imperial physician here without avoiding suspicion. The Jia family is really all right.

It's just that this big family, without their titles, will be fined and confiscated most of their property. Naturally, they can live well. The big house has Jia Lian as the head of the family, and it is not impossible to do some business and make a comeback.The second room has Yuan Chun in the palace and can always take care of them.But that's all.

She was especially worried about Baoyu's future and marriage. Seeing that he was about to reach the age of marriage, the Jia family happened to have an accident at this time, and his marriage might be difficult.

It should be said that Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang have never been on the same mind about Jia Baoyu's marriage. Jia's mother has always favored Lin Daiyu, but Mrs. Wang doesn't like it. It's just that after her relationship with the Xue family was ruined, Mrs. Wang didn't agree with her for a while. Daughter-in-law candidates.Now that something happened, she had to admit that it was Jia's mother who was scheming, and Lin Daiyu was a good candidate - the main reason is that Lin Ruhai and his wife can't let their son-in-law accomplish nothing, can they?Always arrange a bright future for him.

That's why there's such a thing.Jia Min always knew that Mrs. Wang didn't like Daiyu, so she would be on guard against Mrs. Jia, but if Yingchun hadn't stopped the way to inform her, she wouldn't have been on guard against Mrs. Wang's intentions.

It's just that with Mrs. Wang's plan ahead, Jia Min can be regarded as extremely defensive now, so whenever Jia's mother's words are thrown at Daiyu, she will talk about him from left to right and change the topic.

Now that Mother Jia is a little dizzy from illness, she can't see Jia Min's unhappy face, and she is afraid that she will not be able to afford it, so she is anxious to arrange the future for her precious grandson, so she only cares about holding Jia Min's hand and playing emotional cards: "Min'er, do you see what this mansion looks like now? It's gone, it's all gone. Your two elder brothers have never been able to make a living in their lives, but they are both half-buried, and they don't expect They can make a name for themselves, but that child Baoyu is clever and smart, he is the most promising, but he was brought down by his unsatisfactory father and uncle."

Jia Min's complexion darkened, but she was held tightly by Mother Jia and couldn't leave, so she also listened to what Mother Jia had to say, if she really wanted to plot against Yu'er, maybe she would disobey her and cut her off. It's good to have a good mind, after all, there are only those who can be thieves for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Jia Mu then took a breath, and sighed with dying breath: "After thinking about it, I don't know who else I can entrust Baoyu to except you, Min'er. I thought about it a few years ago, two Yu'er Even the names are similar in one word, presumably it is a fate set by heaven, whether it is appearance, conduct or talent, they are the best match, but the two children are still young, so I didn't mention it to you, thinking about waiting Let's talk about it when the children are older, and now it's been a while. I also know that the current situation of the Jia family, in terms of family background, Baoyu is not worthy of Daiyu, but we are a family, so we don't have to worry about these customs Courteous to the eyes of the world. Daiyu has a pair of parents like you, so she doesn't have to be strict with her husband's family background. As long as the child is gentle and can love others, isn't it better than anything else? You know Baoyu's temperament, the most gentle and careless , he will love Daiyu for the rest of his life. I know you don't like your second sister-in-law, but the current family situation does not allow her to treat Daiyu badly. You don't have to be afraid of her being wronged by Daiyu. It's just that you are really worried It’s okay to let their young couple move out to live alone, or even to live in the Lin’s house. As long as they don’t marry into the Lin’s house, they dare not object when my wife decides. If Baoyu doesn’t do well, you and your son-in-law just fight A lesson to be scolded. But if you marry Daiyu to such a high-ranking family, your husband-in-law will treat her a little badly, and you and your son-in-law may not be their masters. Do you think about it?"

After all, Mother Jia looked at Jia Min with hopeful eyes while panting.

To be honest, some of what Mother Jia said touched Jia Min's heart. She and Lin Ruhai really didn't value family background very much, but hoped that the future son-in-law would treat their daughter well. There is also a lot of leeway, so why does it have to be Jia Baoyu?What else is there to say that Daiyu's appearance, morals, talents and talents match, bah, so does Jia Baoyu!In addition to the appearance can be regarded as gold and jade, is the character good?Do you have talent?

What's more, what Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother value now is that Daiyu's status and family background can help Jia Baoyu, but what if Lin Ruhai is unwilling to help Jia Baoyu?Didn't give him a bright future?Is it time to toss Daiyu?Besides, flowers never bloom in a hundred days, and there are unpredictable things in the sky. What if the Lin family also loses one day?How they will treat Daiyu and Jia Min at that time would be startling even thinking about it.

At first, Jia Min thought she would be angry, but she didn't. Looking at Jia's mother's hopeful eyes, her heart cooled down a little, and she said in a calm tone that surprised even herself: "Mother, this is not counting as Daiyu. Won't you stop?"

"What are you talking about!" Mother Jia said anxiously, "Daiyu is my granddaughter. I love her the most, but how can it be called calculation? I also hope that both of their children will be well and go well. How can you be so suspicious of my intentions after living a lifetime? Do you still see me as a mother in your eyes?"

Jia Min saw Jia's mother gasping for breath, and started to pat her with her hands, but the words in her mouth were out of touch with the movements of her hands: "Since mother said so, I won't go around around the corner anymore, open the skylight and speak honestly." Well, no matter how "well-intentioned" my mother is, I will never agree to Daiyu's marriage to Baoyu. Today, the second wife's calculations come first, and the mother's "moving with emotion and understanding with reason" comes later, which makes me think Shocked and chilled. Today I will put my ugly words first. Even if Baoyu is a treasure, my daughter is not a grass. As long as my second sister-in-law and Baoyu are together for a day, I will never let Daiyu set foot in Jia's house. So Regardless of whether mother wants to ask Daiyu to come to serve or visit the sick, there is no need to mention it, I will not agree."

Mother Jia obviously didn't expect Jia Min to reject her thoughts so directly and coldly, even cutting off her future arrangements, she was so angry and annoyed for a while, she patted the bed and said, "Just Please be my mother, can you please? I only have such a wish now, and you can't fulfill me? You have to die, no, close, and close your eyes, so you can feel at ease?"

Jia Min felt a great pain in his heart. He closed his eyes and opened them again. There was only determination in his eyes: "If the mother insists on doing this, it can be considered that the daughter is not filial. However, even if the daughter is accused by thousands of people, she will never sell her daughter. For my own reputation, I would rather bear the name of being unfilial and unrighteous."

Mother Jia looked at Jia Min, who was unexpectedly calm but determined, and was a little shocked. She felt that Jia Min might really be unfeeling to her this time, and she was a little at a loss for a while. When filial piety and affection came to suppress and demand Jia Min, she found that she had no other choice.

Jia Min couldn't bear to see Jia's mother like this, but since some things have been done, let's do it thoroughly, so as not to be constantly disturbed by it, so she continued with pain: "Also, I hope that mother and two Wait, madam, don't use any ugly tricks on Daiyu, I can't do anything else, I hate it so much, I can still send Baoyu away far away, I'm afraid it's a little bit difficult to make a living with his ability hard."

"You...you..." What Jia's mother didn't expect was that Jia Min not only missed her thoughts, but also threatened her. In this way, even if she had thousands of means, she would definitely not be able to use them. When you get the time, you can't lose money by stealing chickens.

Those who had the same thoughts as Jia's mother, and Mrs. Wang who had just entered the room, after hearing Jia Min's remarks, realized that being a mother was not the only one who gave in because of her son. The same is true for Min. In order to protect her daughter, she did not hesitate to show her fangs, so that people can see that she is somewhat vicious.

For a while, both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were a little timid, yes, if they can't make a bright future for Baoyu, what's the point of plotting against Daiyu and harming Jia Min's reputation?

Jia's mother was furious at Jia Min's remarks, and her illness became a little worse. Jia Min was unavoidably anxious, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to show any weakness or timidity.

Fortunately, Jiamu took good care of her on weekdays, so there was nothing serious about it, just take a few more doses of medicine and rest for a while.

Jia Min couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. If she really made Jia's mother angry, she might not be able to feel at ease for the rest of her life.It's just that there are some things that she can't let her back down. If there is a guilt, she can bear it by herself.

Jia's mother was ill for several days, and Jia Min also invited the imperial physician to go to the house every day to check the pulse and prescribe prescriptions.

Who wouldn't praise Jia Min for his filial piety if he could still ask a doctor for medical advice at such a critical moment?Even if Jia's subordinates said that Jia's mother was ill by Jia Min's anger, no one would believe it.

What a joke, she was implicated by the Ninghou Mansion and she didn't get sick, and the bastard son Diu Jue fined her for not getting sick, but it was her daughter who invited her to see a doctor and she got mad?It doesn't make sense.

Even if the real old lady got sick because of Jia Min's anger, I'm afraid that the old lady relied on her old man to sell her old lady and wanted to use her daughter and son-in-law to seek some forgiveness or benefits for Jia's mansion. It was justified for Jia Min to refuse.

What's more, those who knew well knew that although Lin Ruhai took care of the Jia family to some extent, he did not give a light sentence for personal gain.Those who didn't know it felt that the Jia family could be let go lightly—compared to the ruined Ninghou Mansion, it must be because of Lin Ruhai's care.

Speaking of Ninghou Mansion, this time it was really a failure.
