[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

It was night, and Jiazi was lying on the railing of the newly built water pavilion in the Lin Mansion, half-closed his eyes, and fiddled with an invitation card in his hand: Feng Tang is very well-informed, and I received her return so soon news, and invited her to meet at the restaurant tomorrow morning.It seems that after finding out what happened in these years, it is time to go back to Ningguo Mansion to clean up the family tradition - thinking of the faint rumors heard in the past few days when I came back, thinking of Jia Min being so angry that he almost suffocated himself to death Jiazi crumpled the invitation card in his hand, and secretly made up his mind.

Although Jiazi and Lin Hai have not been back to the Lin Mansion these years, the house of the Lin Mansion is renovated every year, ready for the owner to return to the mansion at any time.The waterside pavilion was drawn by Lin Hai himself based on the style of Jiazi's residence in Ningguo Mansion, and he specially invited the best craftsmen in Beijing to build it for Jiazi.It's just that compared to the water pavilions in Ningguo Mansion, the water pavilions in Lin Mansion are more exquisite, more beautiful, and more elegantly arranged.

Lin Hai never told Jiazi about this, and Jiazi never knew about it.Therefore, when Jazi saw the exquisite water houses, he was really surprised and delighted.She also finally understood why before leaving Yangzhou, Lin Hai specifically told her that she must find time to go back to the Lin Mansion to take a look.

Through the exquisite water pavilion in front of him, Jiazi seemed to be able to see Lin Hai hiding in the study, secretly drawing design drawings, and couldn't help smiling happily.Jiazi made a decision in his heart: when the matter is settled, he will immediately take his daughter and son back to Yangzhou.

As Lin Hai expected, not only Jiazi was surprised and delighted when he saw this house on the water, even Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan were shocked from ear to ear.

"Mother," Lin Daiyu looked at Jiazi in surprise, "did daddy design this place? Dad is awesome!" Just now, Lin Daiyu has heard what the family servants asked Jiazi for Lin Hai's credit for. Built for Jazi.

Jia Zi stroked Lin Daiyu's hair: "I didn't know your father had such abilities!" Jia Zi's tone was a bit complacent, obviously very satisfied with Lin Hai's surprise.

"Mother," Lin Daiyu blinked and looked at Jiazi expectantly, "Then can we stay here tonight?" Lin Daiyu really likes this place and wants to live here.Of course, it would be even better if another green bamboo can be planted here.By the way, we will plant a few large pear trees in the back, and then plant a few plantains, and we will also raise a few parrots under the window eaves of the house.

Compared with Lin Daiyu's euphemism, Lin Yan's performance is much more direct.While everyone was amazed at this place, Lin Yan broke away from the hand of Lin Daiyu who had been holding him, and ran directly towards the house in the middle of the lake.

"Did you see?" Gently putting Lin Daiyu's shoulders on her shoulders, Jia Zi moved closer to her daughter's ear, and said in a low voice, "Zan'er has already gone to grab the land. Why don't you hurry over there?" Jia Zi said , and gently pushed Lin Daiyu's shoulder, signaling Lin Daiyu to find a good room quickly, lest she go late and her younger brother takes the opportunity.

Lin Daiyu followed Jiazi's strength and ran over, laughing and laughing with Lin Yan, arguing over who should live in the room near Jiazi.The final discussion result of the siblings is also very interesting: their father Lin Hai is not here, in order to protect Jiazi’s safety, the two of them should protect Jiazi together tonight—this is on the water, in case Jiazi What if Zi falls into the lake in the middle of the night?

Knocking the heads of the two naughty children in front of each other, Jia Zi directly agreed to take the two of them to sleep together tonight.However, it seems that she should be the one who is worried about someone falling into the lake in the middle of the night because of too much excitement, right?

Feng Tang's invitation was delivered at night.And Jia Zi also agreed to meet Feng Tang tomorrow.As for Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan, Jia Zi decided to send the two of them to Jia Min tomorrow and ask Jia Min to look after her first.On the Ningguo Mansion, she had to bring the two children to the door in person.Based on Jiazi's understanding of Jia's family, if she hadn't brought the two children back together, the two children would have to watch their faces.

Early the next morning, Jia Zi first sent Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan to Jia Min, and then went to the restaurant alone to attend the appointment.As soon as he entered the box, Jia Zi saw Feng Tang sitting there stretching his neck, waiting anxiously.In fact, with Feng Tang's temperament, if it wasn't for the fact that the Lin family didn't have a male master, he might have come to the door directly last night.

"Azi," Feng Tang stood up quickly: "You are here." Then, Feng Tang seemed to think of something again, scratching his head: "Can I still call you that? Then Lin Tanhua won't Do you mind?" From Feng Tang's point of view, Jiazi has been married for many years after all, and he and Lin Hai are deeply in love with each other, so he doesn't want to cause trouble for Jiazi; however, he and Jiazi have known each other for more than 30 years. Looking at Jiazi's face and calling her Mrs. Lin, he would feel very awkward again...

"When did Tang Tang know how to avoid taboos?" Jia Zi teased, "Don't worry, he is not a stingy person." Although it has been so many years, Jia Zi is used to being called Mrs. Lin.However, if her old friend for many years also called her Mrs. Lin, let alone Feng Tang, even she would feel awkward.

Feng Tang patted the table: "How old am I, and you still call me Tang Tang. If that brat in my family hears this, then what's the majesty of me as an old man?"

Jiazi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Feng Tang jokingly: "Do you want me to call you General Shenwu?" Feng Tang is the current general named Shenwu, so it is not wrong for Jiazi to call him General Shenwu.Although Feng Tang didn't care about the name of this general at all, his father, General Feng, was very happy: his son, who was out of tune since he was a child, finally earned him a general by his own ability. The title goes home.

Feng Tang quickly waved his hand: "Don't laugh at me. In front of you, how dare I call you a general; my name, the martial arts general, is purely to scare people."

"General Shenwu doesn't need to be humble." Jia Zi looked at Feng Tang with a smile, "The general's name is very famous in the south of the Yangtze River."

Feng Tang curled his lips: "How on earth did I get here as a general? You wouldn't have heard nothing about it, so why bother to say such meaningless things? Don't learn from Du Ruo, Wei Cheng and the others who are so vitriolic. Boy, by the way, Du Ruo, Chen Ruiwen and the others are going to court today, and you know about Wei Cheng, so I'm the only one coming here today."

Jia Zi nodded lightly: "I heard that Du Ruo is now in the Ministry of Punishment, and Chen Ruiwen is in the Ministry of Military Affairs. They are doing well." As they spoke, Jia Zi and Feng Tang exchanged a look that they knew each other well. An old friend of mine, some things don't need words at all.Speaking of which, Jiazi also felt a little emotional, when she was in the capital, these few friends were all idle playboys, but now they all have important responsibilities.Even Feng Tang is now mixed into the Hussar Battalion - a capital guard army independent of the Gyeonggi camp.

"Those two boys are doing well now," Feng Tang nodded, and said sarcastically, "They have also become the targets of the forces in Beijing. By the way, how are you and Lin Tanhua doing recently? Lin Tanhua You really have to be more careful in that position. You know, those people are all thinking about it!"

Jiazi raised his brows slightly, and his tone was full of disdain: "They want to do something to our husband and wife, and they have to see if they have the ability. By the way, I have something else I want to ask you..."

"It's about the Jia family, right?" Feng Tang looked at Jia Zi with a clear look: "To be honest, the Ningrong Second Mansion has been a bit outrageous these years. You know what everyone said Is it?" Actually, even for the sake of Jiazi, Feng Tang and others will not stand by and watch the affairs of Ningguo Mansion.It's just that what happened to Jia's family in Ningguo Mansion is after all just the family affairs of Ningguo Mansion, even if they want to help Jiazi handle it, it's not easy to intervene.

Jia Zi frowned, and looked at Feng Tang solemnly: "What happened in these years, please tell me clearly." At Jia Min's place, Jia Zi didn't ask about Ningguo Mansion. thing.What Rongguo Mansion did has already made Jia Min vomit blood with anger, so how could she ask Ningguo Mansion, which is of the same line as Rongguo Mansion, to sprinkle salt on Jia Min's wound?Therefore, even though Jia Min and Wei Cheng may have a better understanding of the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zi did not ask them.

"Where do you want to start?" Feng Tang said with a toothache when he mentioned the matter of the Ningrong Second Mansion, "Forget it, in order to let you have a complete understanding of what happened in these years, I'll start from the beginning. Get up. In the second year after you left the capital, today..." Looking around, Feng Tang lowered his voice and said softly: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I suddenly wanted to go out of the palace to visit the Lantern Festival, but met It's time for the assassin to assassinate."

Jia Zi has also heard about this matter, Feng Tang, Du Ruo and others are also in the eyes of the present because of this incident, and they started their official careers.Of course, the incident ended with no injuries and all the assassins died on the spot.No one can tell whether this assassin is a remnant loyal to the party or a remnant of the previous dynasty.

However, someone tried to pour this pot of dirty water on the prince—after all, if something really happened today, the prince would be the first to benefit.It's just that at that time, today's prince was still very trusting, and he didn't pay attention to that kind of words.Only then did the prince save an unnecessary trouble.

"As a result," Feng Tang said, "because of my meritorious service in rescuing him, I won the title of this general of martial arts. Then, Wei Cheng, Du Ruo, and Chen Ruiwen were selected into the imperial guards because of this. And that Qiu Liang... ..."

Jia Zi raised his eyebrows: "Qiu Liang? He also rescued him?" Qiu Liang was Jia Zi's deputy on the battlefield, and he was loyal to Jia Zi.Therefore, if he also has a good future because of his rescue, Jiazi will naturally be happy for him.However, Jia Zi did not expect that Qiu Liang would be brought with him when he went to the streets today.However, maybe he met Qiu Liang suddenly, just like Feng Tang, Wei Cheng and others.

Feng Tang nodded: "Yeah. After that, he was transferred from the Gyeonggi Camp to the Wucheng Bingma Division and became a small leader. By the way, do you know who is the current Jiedushi in the Gyeonggi Camp?" Thinking of the person who is currently serving as the governor of Gyeonggi Daying, Feng Tang couldn't help but smirk: If it wasn't for that person, his father wouldn't be scolding his mother every day at home.

Jia Zi sneered and said, "Prince Teng." Although he had not been on the battlefield for a long time, Jia Zi still knew about some changes in the army.And the Gyeonggi Daying, as the main force to protect the security of the capital, has several generations of Jiedu envoys from the Jia family, and now it is suddenly replaced by Wang Ziteng. Jiazi can roughly guess the reason.

"If it wasn't for your uncle Daishan's injury," Feng Tang pouted, "then Wang Ziteng would not have a chance." Looking at Jia Zi, Feng Tang didn't tell Jia Zi that the reason why Wang Ziteng became the capital camp It was because Jia Mu took advantage of the relationship left by Jia Daishan.After all, as a general who really fought on the battlefield, Feng Tang felt that Jia Zi was more qualified than Wang Ziteng to serve as the Jiedu Envoy of the Gyeonggi Camp—even though Jia Zi was a woman.

Jiazi looked at Feng Tang puzzled: "What injury? My uncle didn't relapse because of an old work..."

"Wow," Feng Tang added a glass of wine to himself: "It wasn't about the Lantern Festival that year. The old general Daishan was seriously injured in order to save... and he couldn't be cured. He passed away a few months later. "

Jia Zi was in a daze, never thinking that the reason for Jia Daishan's death was this: Given Jia Daishan's loyalty to the present, if something happened today, he would definitely stop it with his life.However, she really can't blame her for not knowing the truth about this matter: Could it be that he was restless and insisted on going out of the palace to play, which resulted in the injury and death of his most beloved courtier?

"However," Feng Tang said in a solemn tone, "Old General Daishan is really an admirable person. Before he passed away, he wrote two scriptures for the present. One of them is to ask the present to Let Xie Xi inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion. The second way is to ask Jia Zheng to be rewarded as a small official."

Jia Zi nodded: "Uncle has always been careful, and it is only natural to consider the issue of the two elder brothers. It is a tradition for the eldest son to inherit the title; and prudence is indeed not the material for reading."

"It would be great if everything can be according to the old general Daishan's idea." Feng Tang pouted disdainfully: "It's a pity, no matter how good the old general Daishan's idea is, he can't help marrying a prodigal woman. In other words, Daishan Why didn't the old general divorce that woman?" Actually, when Feng Tang was drinking too much, he learned from his father how Jia's mother married Jia Daishan.Ordinarily, he couldn't let him talk about the elders' affairs.However, thinking of what Jia's mother did, Feng Tang felt disgusted.

Jia Zi rolled his eyes: "She had been with her parents-in-law for three years and lost her life, so she was one of the three not to go. Tell me, what did she do to make people complain?" Jia Zi felt that no matter what Jia's mother did, she can bear.However, Feng Tang's next words still made her want to flip the table uncontrollably.

Feng Tang said with a sneer: "At the beginning, when the old general Daishan was alive, Wei Cheng and Miss Jia had already made an engagement. But because of the passing of the old general Daishan, the lady Jia kept her filial piety for another three years. You know That person Wei Cheng is the one who promises the most, so naturally he has been waiting for three years..."

Jazz nodded.She naturally knew Wei Cheng, since Wei Cheng had already agreed to the marriage, he would not change easily.Therefore, Wei Cheng will definitely wait for Jia Min.

"But," Feng Tang slammed the cup in his hand on the table: "Do you know what shameless things that old woman did after the Rongguo Mansion became filial piety?" I didn't want to lose face, so I just started scolding.

"She actually wanted to destroy the marriage again." Feng Tang gasped and said angrily until he had had enough scolding: "Later, if She She hadn't patted the table as the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, your elder brother used his identity as the patriarch to suppress , it is estimated that this marriage will really be ruined by her."

Jiazi directly crushed the cup in his hand, his tense face turned blue with anger, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable anger.She really couldn't figure out what her good aunt wanted to do, did she have to completely destroy Jia Min before she was willing?

In fact, when he calmed down later, Jia Zi guessed Jia Mu's plan. It was nothing more than wanting to marry Jia Min to someone who was so old that there would be no tomorrow today. It's nothing more than powerful in-laws.At that time, the best candidate for Jia's mother must be the current younger brother, the sixth prince who passed away ten years ago—if Jiazi remembers correctly, the sixth prince happened to be choosing a successor at that time.

Seeing Jia Zi's violent appearance, Feng Tang curled his lips, as if regretting that Jia Zi was not pinching someone's neck.

"Fortunately, Wei Cheng is doing well after getting married." Feng Tang finally had a little smile in his voice: "The old woman also prepared a dowry of 120 for the girl of the Jia family. However, the next thing, The strange things that happened in Rongguo Mansion far exceeded all of our imaginations."

Jia Zi looked at Feng Tang and suddenly felt weak: "Tell me, what else is there?"

"Do you know who the head of Rongguo Mansion is now?" Feng Tang suddenly asked, "I mean, the one who lives in the main hall of Rongguo Mansion."

"Jia pardon me!" Since Jia's letters to Jiazi always reported good news but not bad news, she could only deduce from common sense about many things: "Who else could it be? He is the eldest son of Xijue. "

Feng Tang shook his head: "It's Jia Zheng." In Jia Zi's eyes that widened from surprise, Feng Tang flattened his mouth: "Because the old General Daishan's deathbed book was given to Jia after he made a filial piety in Jia's house. Zheng is a member of the Ministry of Industry from the fifth rank. It has been more than ten years, and he is still the same from the Ministry of Industry from the fifth rank." Feng Tang's tone was somewhat mocking, as if mocking Jia Zheng's dissatisfaction. grow up.

"You just said," Jia Zi's focus is not on Jia Zheng's official position: "Now, Jia Zheng lives in the Rongxi Hall, and the Rongguo Mansion is also headed by the Wang family?" Jiazi didn't think it was a surprise that he didn't move in one position: with Jia Zheng's virtue, it would be good to keep that position.

Feng Tang nodded: "How is it, isn't it strange? The eldest son of the Xijue lives in the side courtyard, but the second son, a junior official from the fifth rank, lives in the main hall of the Duke's mansion. Isn't it the greatest rarity?"

"The current Rongguo Mansion is a joke, right?" Jia Zi smiled wryly: After Ningguo Mansion gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, Rongguo Mansion also gradually declined.Although she was very disdainful of the four major families in Jinling that Jia Mu kept saying, Jia Zi was still from the Jia family in Jinling, so he naturally hoped that the Jia family would prosper.

"Joke?" Feng Tang smiled disdainfully: "Rongguo Mansion has made a lot of jokes these years. Which one are you talking about? It's the woman who keeps claiming to be the eldest granddaughter of the Duke of Rongguo, but entered into it through a small election." After leaving the palace, or did Jia Lian, the future successor, marry a daughter of Bai Ding?"

Jia Zi frowned and looked at Feng Tang.In fact, she still knew what Feng Tang said about Jia Lian's marriage.She never expected that Jia Lian would marry Wang Zisheng's daughter in the end, who was Wang Xifeng who had fought with him back then: How could Jia Zi not understand why Jia She would agree to this matter?Does he really want to hand over the title to Jia Zheng's family?

"However, if you want to say that the Rongguo Mansion is the biggest joke," Feng Tang continued to sneer, ignoring Jia Zi's ugly face, "I have to say it's the phoenix baby."

"Phoenix baby?" Feng Tang's words shocked Jia Zi deeply, and now Feng Tang said such vague words again, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed: "Can you speak well?" For the news of Rongguo Mansion these years, Jia Zi All he knew was who was married, how many children there were, and what their names were.

Feng Tang pouted, not caring about Jia Zi's anger at all: "It's Jia Zheng's second son, Jia Baoyu. By the way, do you know how he was born?" Feng Tang couldn't help feeling a toothache at the mention of this name, and his face Straight hair pumping: Obviously, although Jia Baoyu is young, he is still very famous in the capital—of course, this reputation is definitely not a good one.

Jia Zi took a deep breath, wishing he could whip him straight away—maybe then Feng Tang could learn to speak well.

Maybe it was because Jiazi was really angry, Feng Tang said a lot more happily: "Everyone in the capital knows that when the baby Phoenix egg was born, it had a jade pendant in its mouth, and it was engraved with the words 'Mo The eight characters "Don't Forget, Immortal Shou Hengchang"..."

"Immortal dance." Jia Zi raised the corners of his mouth in disdain: "How could someone be born with a jade pendant in his mouth? It's just a trick played by someone with ulterior motives. How could anyone believe it?" Regarding the fact that Jia Baoyu was born with a jade pendant in his mouth, Jia Zi did not know. As soon as Zizi thought about it, he knew it was Mrs. Wang's fault.What she did was just to get more benefits from the Rongguo Mansion.If such a thing really happened, then Mrs. Wang gave birth to a monster instead of a son.

"However, Mother Jia is convinced of this matter." Feng Tang raised the corners of his lips, "It is widely spread that this baby phoenix egg was born with jade, and there will be great fortune in the future. She said that Jia Baoyu..." mentioned This name made Feng Tang's teeth ache again: "Holding it in the palm of my hand, it is like a jewel like a treasure. No one is as good as him. Let's put it this way, if they are not grandparents, I will doubt whether the little boy is hers." ...If it wasn't for knowing that the Phoenix Baby Egg is a super waste, the Jia clan would probably not exist now."

Jia Zi nodded lightly: The only person in this world who dares to make great fortune must be today.He, Jia Baoyu, the second son of a minor official of the fifth rank, dares to make great fortune?Can there be a great fortune?If this kind of word is spread, isn't it to seek death?

"Then what about Ningguo Mansion?" Jia Zi was already very angry about the Rongguo Mansion, so he quickly asked about his own affairs.For her, the most important thing is that Ningguo Mansion is safe and sound.As for Rongguo Mansion, at worst, let her elder brother Jia Jing drive them out of the clan.

Feng Tang took a deep breath: "How should I put it? Ningguo Mansion was quite peaceful at the beginning, but a lot of things have happened in the past few years."

"After my sister-in-law passed away?" Jiazi's sister-in-law Xu died a few years ago while giving birth to her daughter.Jiazi was also heartbroken when he found out about this incident. If Lin Hai hadn't had an accident and was almost assassinated, Jiazi might have rushed back at that time.

Feng Tang nodded: "What I know is that after your sister-in-law died of dystocia, your eldest brother fell ill, and then went to live in a Taoist temple outside the city, and left the Ningguo Mansion to Jia Zhen." Jane, Feng Tang has a feeling of gnashing his teeth: that brat is also their old acquaintance, he was just a little out of tune before, but who would have thought that he is getting more and more crooked now.

"That is to say," Jia Zi said softly, "now the head of Ningguo Mansion is Zhen'er." Jia Zi has never heard of this matter.However, she can also understand: Jia Jing and Xu's husband and wife have always had a good relationship, and Xu's sudden death, it is uncertain what Jia Jing will do out of frustration.

"Azi," Feng Tang hesitated, and finally seemed to have made up his mind: "If you have time, you'd better go back to Ningguo Mansion." If you don't go back, nothing may happen to Ningguo Mansion——Feng Tang added in his heart.

Jia Zi stared at Feng Tang closely: "What happened to Ningguo Mansion?"

"Nothing happened now," Feng Tang said honestly, knowing Jiazi's temperament deeply, "but it will be hard to say in the future."

The author has something to say: Let the heroine know a little bit about the Jia family, otherwise, she will be easily vomited blood.

Jia Baoyu was born with a jade in his mouth, so no one thought it was a monster?

Jia Zhen: If you count your fingers, I'm going to be unlucky

Jia Baoyu: Yu blocked his throat, I'm going to die

Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing: Sister, come back and help your brother vent his anger!
