The Fenghua Years of the Red Chamber
Chapter 18
The construction of the Xingqin Villa project was just underway, and both the government and the central bank were in a hurry. After many rounds of financing, the Lin family's bank was finally used. When the Xingqin villa was about to be completed, the Lin family's silver was running out, and all the houses in Jia's house doubled. Lin Daiyu.
The first time Erfang embezzled the money from the Lin family, Jia Amnesty asked the old lady and Erfang: "How will you repay the money you used from the Lin family in the future?"
"In the future, when the two Yu'er get married, Yu'er's money will belong to our family, we just use it first." The old lady said slowly under Jia She's pressure.
"Marriage between the two Yu'er? Brother-in-law agrees, and is there an exchange of invitations and tokens?" Jia Amnesty continued to ask.
"Right now, Yu'er is still in filial piety, and we will discuss it after she is out of filial piety." The old lady replied.
"The old lady knows what she wants. However, the old lady and the second child, Yu'er is the only flesh and blood of sister Min. Don't force the child to a dead end. It will be difficult for relatives to meet underground in the future." Jia Amnesty knows the virtues of the second daughter-in-law , and Jia Min didn't get along in her boudoir, it's no wonder she was willing to let Baoyu marry Yu'er.
On this day, Jia Zhen went to invite Jia Zheng to inspect and accept the family-in-law's villa. Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian sneaked away and took Yingchun, Daiyu, Qiaojie and Jia Lian's eldest son Jia Mao to Jia She's place. There are two tables for men and women, Mrs. Xing leads the women's family at one table, and Jia She leads Jia Lian and Jia Cong at the same table.
Brother Mao woke up during this period, and because Jia Cong was curious about the child, he asked the nanny to sit at Jia She's table. Mrs. Xing also joked: "Our Brother Mao is also a male, so let him sit at the table with his uncle Lao Tzu." , let us loosen up too." Everyone laughed, Brother Mao was small and staggered when he walked, but he was stubborn, he didn't like girls to follow, he always liked to play with boys.
Jia Lian was narrow-minded, and when everyone was not paying attention, he dipped his chopsticks in wine and fed it to Brother Mao.
"Bastard, you are also an old man, how can you give wine to the child? Hurry up and get water, and see if Mao is wronged, Mao, let's not follow you unreliable old man." Mrs. Xing hurriedly let The nanny took the crying Mao brother and hugged him in her arms, complaining about Jia Lian non-stop.
The arrival of Brother Mao brought laughter and hope to Dafang. Because Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian were both busy, Sister Qiao and Brother Mao spent most of their time with Jia She and Mrs. Xing. The fight in the house affected Brother Mao, Jia She began to cultivate his morality, he sent many maids and concubines out, and imposed restrictions on those who stayed. In addition, Jia She often went to Mrs. Xing because he was indifferent to his grandson, and the relationship between the two improved continuously. At least, Mrs. Xing thinks that Brother Mao is her lucky star, so naturally she likes it very much.
As for Wang Xifeng, she herself does not dislike Mao Geer, and she still likes it after a long time. One is that Mao Geer was born like Jia Lian, and looks very pleasing; The people he chose were carefully selected, and no one dared to bite their tongues in front of him and get close to her.
Wang Xifeng thought about it, she has been taking medicine for recuperation in this life, and her body is much better than her previous life, but now she is in her early twenties, and she has not yet conceived again. When the time comes, and she vaguely feels that she will only have that one son in this life.She will not do anything to Brother Mao, but will protect him, fearing that she will do another crime in this life and let her child leave her again.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng loved Brother Mao, Jia Lian teased Brother Mao when he had time, and asked tentatively, "Why does grandma love Brother Mao so much?" Emphasis is placed on training, the concubine is relatively free-range, and the concubines are often at odds with each other, and it is rare for the concubine to be loved by the concubine.Wang Xifeng, who has always been jealous, actually likes Mao Geer, a bastard, which makes Jia Lian a little uneasy.
"Brother Mao is much more likable than Second Master." Wang Xifeng ordered someone to take Mao Geer down and said, "Second Master has something to say, don't beat around the bush like this, I know you suspect me in your heart, my Second Master, put your Put your heart in your stomach. I, Wang Xifeng, have clear grievances and grievances, but I am not a cruel person who can attack innocent babies. Brother Mao and I have no grievances or enmities. His mother is not like that Qiutong who was an honest person. It didn't offend me either. To be honest, if my body doesn't live up to expectations and I keep Mao Geer by my side, I will always be able to rely on Qiao Jie in the future, and if I have a child in the future, it would be good for Mao Geer to support each other."
"Grandma can take it easy, aren't you afraid that brother Mao will fight with your child in the future?" Jia Lian asked straightforwardly seeing Wang Xifeng's good attitude.
"What is there to fight for? What is there to fight for? In Mao Ge'er's generation, there is no title inheritance, money, not to mention the second master's, my own body is enough for my son's life's expenses." Wang Xifeng Looking sideways at Jia Lian, he said. "Besides, both of you and I know how the mansion is doing now. If it wasn't for the support of the Lin family's money, I'm afraid we would have been unable to make ends meet, and we would have been living beyond our means. If we were still so extravagant in the future, the mansion would have been emptied by the time the second master inherited the title. , I advise the second master to make a plan early, otherwise, before our Brother Mao grows up, we will have to let our mothers go out and beg for food." At the end of the talk, Wang Xifeng teased Jia Lian.
"You mother-in-law, you don't have good things to say. No matter how capable you are, you mother and child cannot go hungry." After hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Lian's heart was finally relieved.
The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Although Wang Xifeng was joking, Jia Lian heard the words in his heart. A man is not considered mature when he gets married. Only when he becomes a father can he know the responsibility. Wait for the future to attack the lord.
Because Brother Mao was in a hurry, a group of people sent someone outside to tell Jia Lian to go to the garden to interrogate Jia She.Jia Lian was being overwhelmed by Mrs. Xing's nagging, so he let out a sigh of relief and hurried away.
"Second brother Lian flew away like a rabbit caught by a tiger." Lin Daiyu said jokingly.
"That's right, now my wife is even more powerful." Wang Xifeng echoed with a chuckle.
"As long as you are narrow, be careful to let my brother hear it, and I won't bring you any presents in the future." Yingchun scratched Lin Daiyu's nose and said.
Under the care of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, Lin Daiyu became more cheerful. It turned out that when Lin Daiyu came back from Yangzhou, the second wife thought it was unlucky, so she arranged for Lin Daiyu to live in a small courtyard not far from the old lady, and Hou Yingchun moved from the big house to live with her Living together, the relationship between the two became better and better, and they even got closer to Da Fang.
Lin Daiyu was younger, and went to school with Tanchun and Xichun on weekdays, and learned a lot with Yingchun after school. Zijuan was released by Wang Xifeng and his family for a reason. Later, Chunxian and Xueyan were promoted, as well as a few tight-lipped little girls.
As for Jia Baoyu, he used to come to Lin Daiyu's place frequently in the early days, and the clan studies carried out rectifications. Coupled with the strict management of Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng, and the wholehearted obstruction of the servants, when Jia Baoyu was old and moved to the front, the contacts gradually few.Without Zijuan's agitation, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu had no personal relationship, they were pure cousins.The old lady wanted to match the two Yu'er, but she had scruples in her heart and didn't show it on the surface.
"Auntie, the garden is finished. I heard from Baoyu that the layout of the pool, pavilion and waterside pavilion is exquisite, picturesque and pleasant. Take us to have a look." Lin Daiyu begged, holding Mrs. Xing's arm.
"You have to ask your sister-in-law about this first." Mrs. Xing said with a smile, she is living a good life now, and she is much younger.
"There is still a place to rest in the garden, and the people inside are messy. When they are completely done, I will report to the old lady and let us female family members go to the garden alone." Wang Xifeng said with a smile.
One day, the women's relatives gathered at the old lady's place, and a little girl from outside came in and begged the old lady to save Baoyu.It turned out that Jia Zhen invited Jia Zheng and a group of guests to write a plaque in the garden today. Baoyu was relaxing in the garden and was bumped into him, so Jia Zheng took him with him to write a plaque.
"Feng girl, hurry up and send someone to find out the news, and get back to me if there is something wrong." The old lady hurriedly ordered someone to go to the garden to find out the news.
Jia Zheng's discipline to Jia Baoyu was always beating and scolding. During the exams and teaching homework on weekdays, he would be scolded at least and punished at the worst. Therefore, Baoyu avoided Jia Zheng on weekdays. Every time Baoyu was called away by Jia Zheng, The hearts of the old lady and the second lady were tied together, fearing that Baoyu would be beaten again.
"Old lady, don't worry, I've heard people say that Baoyu is getting better at school now, and even the teacher praises Baoyu's talent for reading." Wang Xifeng comforted her with a smile. What she said was true, but she didn't express it The second half of the teaching is just spoken.
The original words of the instruction are that Baoyu has a talent for reading, but he is favored by his family, and he does not study hard.Since the rectification of ethnology, there have been fewer dirty things, coupled with strict teachings, it has somewhat of a school look.
Now Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan are all studying in the ethnology, because Jia Huan, Jia Cong, and Jia Lan know that it is not easy to study, except for illness, they go to school every day, but Jia Baoyu is loved by the old lady. , I don’t like going to school. I pretend to be sick for half a month and don’t go to school.But no matter at school or at home, they all hold Baoyu.
How Jia Baoyu was doing at school, everyone in the Dafang knew that it was Jia Cong and Jia Huan who went to school together, so they walked closer, because Mrs. Wang always asked Jia Huan to go to school to copy scriptures, which delayed writing homework. The general criticizes that Hou Jia Huan followed Jia Cong back to the big room for seven out of ten days after school, and the two complained on weekdays, so naturally the masters of the big room knew about it.
After Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing knew about it, they cursed Mrs. Wang for being a black hearted person. This was to raise a concubine and hold up a legitimate son. However, this kind of thing is common in rich families. Jia Huan came to the big room.After Yingchun and Lin Daiyu knew about it, they asked Jia Huan to play with them more on weekdays, and if there were any homework they didn't know, they could ask them to answer one or two questions.
The news in the garden kept coming, and it was all good news. For example, what poems did Baoyu write and what plaques were inscribed? After growing up, everyone echoed.
Although all the good news came from the front, the old lady and Mrs. Wang were not at ease. When Baoyu came out and saw her face smiling, she knew nothing had happened, and after complimenting her, she let her go down to rest.
The family-senting villa was built, and Jia Amnesty wrote a letter to invite the mother-in-law to visit the mother-in-law. After being approved, the entire Rongguo Mansion did not have a good New Year. They were all in a hurry for the mother-in-law. During the period when the treasures and antiques were displayed, the garden withered in winter, and people were ordered to make flowers and plants with colorful juan and tie them among them, making them more prosperous and full of vitality.
Early in the morning on the day of visiting relatives, all the masters in the mansion lined up in their best attires. Wang Xifeng had already passed by once when the mother came home. Naturally, she knew that it would not be so early, so she hid in the name of looking around, who was impatient to freeze in the cold wind.
When word came from the palace, all the masters went into the house to keep warm and rest. Wang Xifeng sent someone to come in to wait on Jia Yuanchun. Knowing that this is to examine and choose a younger brother and daughter-in-law.Jia Yuanchun is a person who has been able to stay in the palace for many years, and Wang Xifeng can't tell her thoughts from her face.
Waiting for the banquet ahead, Wang Xifeng had time to rest, and took people to walk slowly along the river. It was really brilliant, the Jia family worked hard for several years, spent millions of taels of silver, hollowed out the Jia family, and entrapped the Lin family. Just for these few hours, I don't know if Jia Yuanchun, a married woman, can bear it.
It is said that prosperity must decline, and things must reverse. Today is the most glorious day of the Jia family. After today, the Jia family will decline day by day, leaving depression in the future.
The first time Erfang embezzled the money from the Lin family, Jia Amnesty asked the old lady and Erfang: "How will you repay the money you used from the Lin family in the future?"
"In the future, when the two Yu'er get married, Yu'er's money will belong to our family, we just use it first." The old lady said slowly under Jia She's pressure.
"Marriage between the two Yu'er? Brother-in-law agrees, and is there an exchange of invitations and tokens?" Jia Amnesty continued to ask.
"Right now, Yu'er is still in filial piety, and we will discuss it after she is out of filial piety." The old lady replied.
"The old lady knows what she wants. However, the old lady and the second child, Yu'er is the only flesh and blood of sister Min. Don't force the child to a dead end. It will be difficult for relatives to meet underground in the future." Jia Amnesty knows the virtues of the second daughter-in-law , and Jia Min didn't get along in her boudoir, it's no wonder she was willing to let Baoyu marry Yu'er.
On this day, Jia Zhen went to invite Jia Zheng to inspect and accept the family-in-law's villa. Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian sneaked away and took Yingchun, Daiyu, Qiaojie and Jia Lian's eldest son Jia Mao to Jia She's place. There are two tables for men and women, Mrs. Xing leads the women's family at one table, and Jia She leads Jia Lian and Jia Cong at the same table.
Brother Mao woke up during this period, and because Jia Cong was curious about the child, he asked the nanny to sit at Jia She's table.
