[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

After Yingchun got married, Zhang Rui sent Baoyu and the two brothers Jia Rong from Ningguo Mansion next door to leave the capital.

This year, all the relatives' homes are almost built. Although it has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion, everyone knows that someone has set a certain time for the nobles to return to the province.

There are some concubines in the palace who are not easy to deal with. When they built the provincial house, they tried their best to overwhelm each other. Zhang Rui's latest pleasure is listening to Wang come over and say who is doing what, who is with whose family. The servant almost moved his hand...

Mrs. Zhang doesn't like to listen to these gossips. She is currently practicing self-cultivation and fasting. The two juniors, Xie Pingyuan and Yuan Yuwei, are in charge of the big and small things in the house. They are busy except for the daily greetings, so only Zhang Rui and Wang Talking about these new things every day.

Tanchun wanted to be by her grandmother's side, but firstly, she had lessons every day, and secondly, she knew that her aunt didn't want to see her, so it was difficult for her to get close to her.She is the only girl left in Rongguo Mansion's generation now, and the other nieces are still young, so she will deliberately make herself look more mature and solemn.

Jia Zheng's promotion and transfer has been sent, and Zhang Rui learned that he is still in a remote wilderness, but at least he has moved from the southwest to the west, and has become a magistrate. Can be better.

Mrs. Wang said directly, don't ask her for the marriage of the concubine's concubine, so the sister-in-law Yuan Yuwei can only take over. She has no experience in this field before. Fortunately, Tanchun is still young, so she can take her time. It's time to accumulate experience for seeing your own children in the future.

Zhang Rui didn't urge her either, she watched coldly all these years, Yuan Yuwei treated her younger siblings with more dedication than Wang's, of course, Baoyu was also included, Wang treated Baoyu as pain, generosity was also generosity, but Since Yuan Yuwei is in charge of the second room, she doesn't worry about Baoyu's basic necessities of life.

After the fall, Concubine Nan'an sent invitations to Jia's family for her birthday, and Zhang Rui was also invited. Since it was a whole birthday, it was very grand and invited many people.

Zhang Rui took the invitation and thought about it. She hadn't gone out for a long time, so she really should go out for a walk, so she said to the Zhang family and the Wang family, "Go back to Nan'an Palace, and I will go when the time comes."

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile, and said: "In the past, you didn't have a big birthday celebration. After two years of your birthday, let's invite everyone to come and have a good time. What do you think?"

"Where is the need for such a show?" Zhang Rui didn't evade, but she really felt that it was unnecessary.

But the elder's birthday is not a trivial matter, both Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang think that it should not be ignored. Since they said that their mother-in-law is not willing, there are naturally people who can speak up, so Mrs. Zhang didn't persuade her any more.

On the day of Nan'an Concubine's birthday banquet, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang packed up early in the morning and came to the west courtyard to wait for her mother-in-law. Are you ready?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said: "They are all cleaning up, Ping Yuan and Yu Wei are watching, don't worry."

After hearing this, Zhang Rui nodded slightly, then stepped back to see if Tanchun was ready?

After Bu Yao answered, just as she was about to go out, she heard the voice of the little maid from the door, hearing that it was Miss Tan Chun coming, so she turned her head and smiled and said to the master: "It seems that Miss Tan Chun has already packed up. "

As soon as the words were finished, the well-dressed Tanchunqian walked in and greeted his grandmother, aunt, and aunt, but when he greeted his aunt and aunt, he was always less close relatives and more restrained than his grandmother.

"Grandma is getting well soon, you can have some snacks first."

"Yes."

After explaining, Zhang Rui stopped talking, looked at the white hair on the temples that was clearly visible in the bronze mirror, and stroked it with a lot of impressions. Mrs. Wang, who was sitting behind drinking tea, saw her and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law I just made a new hair dye some time ago, why don't I give it to you to try?"

Zhang Rui glanced at Wang's jet-black hair in the mirror. She also thought that women in ancient times really took good care of their hair and it was difficult for them to have gray hair. There was a way to do it, but I suggested that she should not use it, "It's white. It's just white, what does it matter if I don't hide it at my age?"

Mrs. Wang still wanted to persuade her again, but Mrs. Zhang took the lead and said, "Mother, you are already young, and those old ladies from other people's families already have full hair at your age."

These words touched Zhang Rui's heart, and he said proudly: "How can they compare with me? I am still alive and kicking every day at such an old age. It's not because of my diligence."

Lively... What kind of adjective is it? Others are a little bit dumbfounded, but the old lady is happy, so they can only support her.

When Zhang Rui packed up, she was no better than the Zhang family and Wang family. She asked Pearl to pack a box of snacks for herself and put them on the carriage. She distributed more than half of them to the children, and the rest ate up her own stomach. He just didn't dare to drink too much water, for fear that he would be in a hurry in Nan'an Palace.

Jia Min also brought Lin Daiyu and Lin Qingrui over, and greeted Nan'an Concubine. The boy went to the outer courtyard, while Lin Daiyu and the girls from the Jia family were led into the garden. play there.

They are all old acquaintances for many years, sitting together from one generation to the next. Concubine Nan'an is full of old ladies. Zhang Rui boasts that she is a lively old lady, listening to them talking slowly about the affairs of each family , Most of them are boasting, so they are a little impatient and don't want to spoil the master's interest, so they just have a smile on their faces and don't talk much.

An old lady from a family saw her and said to her with a smile: "Your family's grandsons are all so successful, so you are blessed."

Zhang Rui smiled and replied, "I'm overwhelmed, I can't compare to so many people."

"I heard that the second grandson of your eldest son has been promoted?"

Zhang Rui originally thought that he would praise Jia Hu for being young and promising, but he didn't expect to ask Jia Lian. He raised his eyebrows a little strangely, and replied: "Yes, my grandson is dedicated to serving the people and works hard, so he was transferred."

"Speaking of which, your grandson was indeed a bit rough when he was young, and it is a great fortune to be able to be so wonderful now." The old lady said to herself as if she hadn't seen Zhang Rui's face: "It was an accident at the beginning. There is no direct relationship with the Zhen family, and your grandson is fine, why don't I be a peacemaker and the two families sit together and turn the fight into friendship?"

The old ladies who were chatting next to him all looked at him in surprise. They didn't know how people could live such an old age and still think they were right. Concubine Nan'an even blushed a little. She agreed to have a date with the Zhen family. It was convenient for the two families to reconcile, but she never thought that the person who made the reconciliation was such a ignorant person!

Zhang Ruilan was still a little angry when he heard it, but he couldn't help laughing after hearing it, why does she still have the same sense of seeing the old lady of the Zhen family when she looked at her?

"I haven't been out for a long time, and I'm not familiar with many wives, so I want to ask, what is your relationship with the Zhen family?"

The old lady never thought that after talking for a long time, the old lady of the Jia family didn't know herself, and said with a slightly stiff expression: "The old lady of the Zhen family is my elder sister."

"Oh~" Zhang Rui suddenly realized, no wonder she had such an illusion, she didn't expect to be sisters, it seems that the only elder sister's family always followed suit.

But what did that matter to her?When we met and greeted each other just now, I heard someone introduce her surname, but Zhang Rui felt that he couldn't remember it anymore, and she didn't deserve to have a name with him.

It seems that the recent news of Concubine Zhen's serious illness has made the Zhen family very anxious, and they even found such a person to make peace. It seems that the Zhen family is finally going to be completely ruined. Zhang Rui is very happy with this realization, so she changed the previous At the beginning, he looked a little angry, and said with a smile: "Then please tell me, it's not that our Jia family is stingy. After my grandson's matter, the two families are indeed somewhat separated, but the relationship has not been broken. As for when the two of us If she doesn't get in touch with her family, she knows it well, what about me? I won't talk about this fig leaf."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Rui ignored this person, and joined the ranks of other old ladies boasting with a smile. It is indeed her grandson who is the best!

The old lady didn't talk to anyone when she saw her, she was ashamed but she couldn't leave. Originally, their family had used their elder sister's light to be arrogant for many years. Now that the Zhen family is weak and they are being ridiculed by others, no matter how hard they feel I can only endure it.

Everyone has done enough to save face, and occasionally there are those who can't look at people's faces. It's weird. Ordinary people don't associate with weird things, so even Princess Nan'an doesn't look at her anymore.

After a while, the nuns next to Princess Nan'an came over and invited all the old ladies to listen to the play. Princess Nan'an stood up first, and said with a smile: "The theater troupe in my mansion rehearsed a few new plays earlier, and they were all outside. If you haven’t heard of it, I will ask you to give me some advice today.”

Others agreed one after another, and everyone got up and went to the stage. Zhang Rui deliberately took a step behind and stood next to the sister of the old lady of the Zhen family. Some of the people in front of her who were not as high as the old lady of the Jia family immediately walked two steps quickly to create a distance between them so that they could have a good talk. .

Seeing this, Zhang Rui smiled slightly, then turned to the old lady who looked older than him, and said: "Just now in front of all the old ladies, some things I said were inappropriate."

Mrs. Zhen's younger sister was a little surprised. Did the old lady of the Jia family change her mind?

"What a beautiful place the Zhen family was back then. Four pick-ups, it was really beautiful..."

Mrs. Zhen's younger sister also followed her in imagining the glory of the Zhen family back then, and there were still hopes and longings in her eyes, but not only did Concubine Zhen's son not become a great treasure as they expected, but now the Zhen family's most Powerful women also have to die...

Seeing her expression, Zhang Rui leaned closer and said in a low voice, "I've always been very broad-minded, so you should be more self-aware and stay where you are, okay?"
