[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xing stood up quickly, and after saying goodbye to Jia Mu, she ran out with Jia Zi.As soon as she left Jia Mu's main room, Mrs. Xing immediately hugged Lin Yan, and left with Jia Zi and Lin Daiyu with a happy face: She didn't want to listen to the big and small Wang's show off there—isn't she just a housekeeper? Who cares?

"Zida..."

Jia Zi raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "You can just call me Azi." For Mrs. Xing, Jia Zi also saw it for the first time, and he couldn't say whether he liked it or not.However, if Mrs. Xing does not come to provoke her, she is willing to give her due respect.

Mrs. Xing nodded quickly: "Ah Zi, why did you come back suddenly? Did your journey go well? Where do you live now? It's inconvenient..." Mrs. Xing was talking to Jia Zi without anything to say. , Although the topic is a bit far-fetched, it also expresses her enthusiasm.

Of course, Mrs. Xing also has her own little calculations in her heart: she has heard the reputation of this eldest daughter from the Jia family in Jinling, and she also knows that she can't get used to the surname Wang the most.Hmph, if she gets on good terms with this Ah Zi, wouldn't Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng's faces be ugly?

While Mrs. Xing was speaking, Jia Zi was also looking at her: Actually, the eyebrows and eyes are not bad, the type Jia She likes.It's just a suit of clothes, Jia Zi curled his lips in his heart: He is obviously in his early 30s, dressed like he is 50 - I really don't know what kind of feeling Jia She feels when he is facing this face .

Mrs. Xing is Jia She's stepmother, and she has been married into Jia's family for more than ten years.At the beginning, she felt proud and elated to be able to marry into the dignified Duke's mansion, even if she could only serve as the second wife.After selling her family's property, buying herself a dowry, and happily marrying into Rongguo Mansion, she realized that everything in this mansion was totally different from what she had imagined.

Originally, she thought that as the wife of Rong Guogong's eldest son, she would soon become the head of the Rong Guo Mansion when her mother-in-law was old.However, after so many years, she has never even touched the side of the key in the Rongguo Mansion.Even during the period when Mrs. Wang gave birth to Jia Baoyu, the housekeeping power fell into the hands of Zhu'er's family and had nothing to do with her.

Complain to Jia She?Jia Amnesty even gave up the Rongxi Hall to the second child's family, so who cares whether she has the housekeeping right or not!If she is favored by Jia She, or can be respected by Jia She, maybe Jia She will help her.But Jia Amnesty has a temperament that likes the new and dislikes the old, so she might still be fresh for a while when she married in.When the novelty wore off, she was forgotten.What's more, she is not far behind Jia Amnesty's first wife, no matter how she handles things, or her temperament and skills.Therefore, Jia Amnesty naturally didn't care about her affairs.

In addition, when she married in, Jia Lian had already remembered, and she was only thinking about giving birth to her own children, which was just superficial to Jia Lian.After a long time, it is naturally impossible for Jia Lian to truly regard her as a mother.Although Jia Amnesty still has a pair of concubine children, Mrs. Xing has never paid attention to them, and they are not very close to Mrs. Xing, as if they are strangers to each other.

Therefore, Mrs. Xing is not favored by her mother-in-law in this house, and Jia Amnesty does not value her in the middle, and Jia Lian, his wife and a pair of younger siblings treat her as nothing.The servants in this mansion are used to being with the red top and the white one, and seeing the situation like this, naturally they don't take Mrs. Xing seriously any more.

Over time, Madam Xing's position in the mansion became awkward, and Madam Xing lost her sincerity to the people in the mansion.

However, there were two people who surprised Mrs. Xing: one was Jia Min, and the other was naturally Jia Zi.In any case, these two people have always regarded her as a sister-in-law, and the annual gift for her is more important than that for Mrs. Wang.Therefore, she also showed rare enthusiasm to Jazi when she met him for the first time—whether she was genuinely kind or not, in short, she still welcomed Jiazi's return.

Jia Zi naturally understood the reason why Mrs. Xing was so enthusiastic, but he didn't take it to heart.I remembered what Jia Min secretly complained to her: This sister-in-law is too greedy for money.Jia Zi thought it was a bit funny—Ms. Xing had neither the filial piety of her children nor the care of her husband. If she had no money, how could she guarantee her future life?After seeing the indifference of the master and the snobbery of the slaves in this mansion, how could she not plan for her own future?Otherwise, who can guarantee that one day in the future, when she gets old and sick, Jia Lian and his wife will take care of her and give her a grand burial?

Therefore, she still answered Mrs. Xing's questions one by one with a smile.Then, he chatted with Mrs. Xing about the local customs, walked through the Heiyou Gate all the way, and entered the independent courtyard separated from the Rongguo Mansion by Jia Amnesty.

When getting out of the car, Lin Yan secretly pulled Lin Daiyu's sleeve, put his mouth next to Lin Daiyu's ear, and said softly: "Sister, I like this aunt."

Lin Daiyu pinched Lin Yan's fleshy face in a funny way, and jokingly said, "You like anyone who is willing to hug you, right?"

"It's just that my sister doesn't hug me." Lin Yan smiled and hugged Lin Daiyu's neck: "I like it too."

As for Jia Amnesty, he was already waiting for Jia Zi and his party at the door.Therefore, as soon as he saw the car approaching, he had already greeted him: "Azi, you are here. Come on, let's see how brother is here?"

Turning his mouth away, Jiazi said without thinking, "It's not that good."

Jia Amnesty was giggling on the sidelines, and then asked someone to quickly bring the prepared fruits and pastries to Jiazi's mother and son, while he stayed by Jiazi's side, chatting happily and occasionally teasing Lin Yan with a full mouth.During this period, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing did not speak more than three sentences.

After asking Jia She about which Taoist temple Jia Jing is currently in, Jia Zi declined Jia She's meal, and got up to leave: Although she has a normal relationship with Jia Zheng, she still needs to be courteous.Of course, Jia Zheng's attitude has nothing to do with her.

"She, She." Seeing the two children getting into the car, Jia Zi turned his head and showed a smile that made Jia She terrified: "I will go to see my elder brother tomorrow and ask about what happened in these years. I think, there are some things. You should also explain it clearly to me, right?" In order for Jia She to have time to sort out what happened in these years before telling her, just now, including when Jia Zi and Jia She were chatting in Ningguo Mansion, they did not talk about it. And what happened in Rongguo Mansion these years.

Jia Amnesty was startled, and laughed quickly, "Sure, Azi can do whatever he wants to hear."

Nodding his head, Jia Zi got into the car directly and left Jia Amnesty's yard.It wasn't until Jiazi's car disappeared from sight that Jia Amnesty walked back to his yard.

Jia Amnesty naturally knew what Jia Zi wanted to hear.Just for a while, he didn't know how to open his mouth to tell Jiazi what happened in these years.Although his father, Jia Daishan, left him his last words before his death, "if there is anything to do, go to Azi", but the mess in Rongguo Mansion is so bad, how can he have the nerve to go to Jiazi?

What's more, over the years, he and Jia Jing have reached a tacit consensus: report good news to Jia Zi but not bad news—after all, Lin Hai is in the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and the turbulence and intricacies of the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River are well known. It's fine that these elder brothers can't help Jiazi, but they don't want to trouble her any more.

It's just that they can hide some things for a while, but they can't hide them forever.These things finally let Jazi know.But now that Jiazi has come back, even if they want to hide the matter, they may not be able to hide it.

Jia She scratched his head heavily: "Oh, I hope Azi won't be so angry that he vomits blood! However, it seems that what Zhen'er committed is much more serious than our Rongguo Mansion..." So Thinking about it, Jia Shen realized that when he met Jia Zhen just now, something seemed wrong with Jia Zhen, as if...

With a slap on the forehead, Jia Amnesty finally knew what had happened, and hurriedly ran to Ningguo Mansion: He had to ask Jia Zhen to see what Jia Zhen said, which made Jia Zi so angry. At that time, he can also grasp the speed.However, Jia Zi must not tell Jia Zhen about going to see Jia Jing: if Jia Zi knew that he dared to report the news, he would not run away after cleaning up.

Naturally, Jia Zi didn't know what was going on in Jia She's mind. At this moment, she had brought Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan into Rongxi Hall.

Rongxi Hall is the main hall of Rongguo Mansion, and it is also the residence of Rongguo Dukes and the head mistresses of the past dynasties.Therefore, after Jia Daishan's death, it was supposed to be the residence of Jia She and his wife, who had inherited the title.But because of Jia's mother's interference, Jia Zheng and his wife were forced to live in.But Jia Amnesty was so angry that he simply separated the courtyard and opened the gate again, as if he was half separated from the Rongguo Mansion.

And the reason why Jiazi said that Jia Zheng is prudish is also the same.On the surface, Jia Zheng looked like a gentleman, but in fact, he took advantage of all the benefits, but others took the blame for him.Just like Rongxitang, he can completely throw the blame on Jiamu's head with the sentence "Blessed by the elders, I dare not resign."

However, Jia Zi didn't believe that Jia Zheng didn't know that Rongxi Hall was not a place for him to live in, and Jia Zi didn't believe that he couldn't get rid of Jia Mu's bad idea of ​​completely disregarding the rules of his ancestors, but Jia Zheng still chose to live. After entering the Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang was made the mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, and now she considers herself a master—doesn't he know who the master of the Rongguo Mansion should be?And all of this, if someone finds out about it in the future, he can say that it all stems from his filial piety, otherwise, how could he, a scholar who knows propriety, righteousness and shame, do such demeaning things that disregard national etiquette and law, Then put all the responsibility on others.

Thinking of Jia Zheng's pretentious manner, and his appearance of being a scholar everywhere, Jia Zi felt disgusted: Lin Hai is the real scholar, when he should be a gentleman, he should be a gentleman, but when he should be bad, he is also so cute...

"Azi," Mrs. Wang smiled and welcomed Jiazi into her room, and pushed Jiazi to the top with all her strength: "Quick, sit down."

Looking at the seat that should obviously be Jia Zheng's frequent seat, Jia Zi rolled his eyes helplessly: It's been so many years, why is Mrs. Wang's methods still like this? Ten or twenty years ago, she She can't frame herself if she moves. Does she think it's all right now?Occupying things that don't belong to her for more than ten years, could it be that she squeezed out the few clever ideas in her mind?

Ignoring the enthusiastic Mrs. Wang, Jia Zi took Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan to sit on a chair beside her, and looked at Mrs. Wang with a smile on her chin.

Mrs. Wang felt a little nervous when Jiazi looked at her, she touched her face involuntarily, and forced a smile: "Why is Ahzi looking at me like that?"

Jiazi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in his heart: "I just want to see what kind of expression you will have when you see the maid who you have worked so hard to stuff into my place suddenly appears on the prudish bed: surprise, surprise ,panic……"

Speaking of it, Jazi himself almost forgot about it.

Back then, when she found out that Mother Jia dared to put maidservants in her companion room, she naturally hated it.So she directly asked Du Ruo to help, and asked Du Ruo to train the two of them before sending them to Jia Zheng—if Jia Zi dared to do this, he would not be afraid that Jia Mu would settle accounts with her: If you make a fuss with the present day and the queen, you dare to let everyone in the world know about it.

However, after handing over the two women to Du Ruo, Jia Zi didn't pay attention to this matter, so naturally he didn't know the follow-up development of the matter.

Back then, after Du Ruo picked him up from Xin An, he secretly sent him to the brothel under his name, and found someone to train him well.And the two women, in order to survive, naturally handed over everything, and soon revealed that Jiamu and Mrs. Wang jointly planned this matter: they were of course for the dowry in Jiazi's hand and the wealth of the Lin family.Of course, there is also a secret desire for revenge, wanting to see Jazi, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, tortured and pale and haggard because of his unsatisfactory marriage.

When Du Ruo heard about this inside story, she was startled and angry. She wished she could rush into the Rongguo Mansion and kick Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to death.But at that time, Lin's mother was seriously ill, and Du Ruo could only temporarily suppress the matter and did not tell Jiazi.Half a year later, Du Ruo gave the two trained women to Jia Zheng through the hand of the third prince.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were naturally taken aback when they saw the two women.However, firstly, the existence of those two women is a secret that cannot be revealed. If anyone finds out, they will be accused by thousands of people; Three princes; three, Du Ruo created fake identities for them and made them good concubines. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang couldn't move, they could only watch helplessly as Jia Zheng loved and trusted them day after day—they were after all They have been carefully trained and taught, and their skills in serving men are naturally incomparable to others, so Jia Zheng can't resist their deliberate temptation.

In fact, at the beginning, when the two of them returned to Rongguo Mansion, they were still very scared: After all, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang would not be the same if they could have such vicious thoughts on their niece and cousin. What a bodhisattva-hearted person.However, after a period of time, they finally realized that when they returned to Rongguo Mansion this time, they carried the banner of the third prince on their heads, and held the secrets of Jiamu and Mrs. Wang. Madam, I can only bear with them, and even dare not recognize them.

In this way, the humiliation they suffered when they were trained before, and Du Ruo ordered others to do the training deliberately, fermented in their hearts again.They naturally hated Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang in their hearts.

Mother Jia is fine, after all, she is Jia Zheng's mother, they can't do anything; but Mrs. Wang is unlucky, she often sees the two of them making fun of each other in front of her, and turning to Jia Zheng is all kinds of grievances. , which made Jia Zheng always look at her with fury.However, Mrs. Wang faced such a situation, but she had nothing to do, so she could only slam a few sets of tea sets.

However, Mrs. Wang is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all.She finally took advantage of Jia Daishan's filial piety to get rid of the Wu family; and later, when she was pregnant with Jia Baoyu, she made a plan to get rid of the Meng family.

However, although Mrs. Wang got rid of the two of them, Meng's maid took the opportunity to climb into Jia Zheng's bed during her pregnancy, and finally became Jia Zheng's aunt who passed the Ming road.

This Aunt Zhao is also unusual, not only wins over Jia Zheng, but also gives birth to two children one after another.

Right now, although Mrs. Wang regards Aunt Zhao as a thorn in her side, there is no good way to get rid of her—since Wu and Meng have passed away, Jia Zheng has secretly stepped up her attention. Start with Aunt Zhao.

Moreover, there is a "surprise" that Mrs. Wang did not expect: Aunt Zhao has a daughter, Jia Tanchun, who flatters her in front of her all day long, as if wishing she was her biological mother, as if she has already stood on the throne. The opposite of Aunt Zhao, Mrs. Wang is naturally more happy to watch the mother and daughter fight.

It's just that I didn't expect Jazi to come back at this time.Seeing Jiazi, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but think of the two lowly maidservants before, and her hatred for Jiazi became even stronger in her heart.However, Jia Zi's identity is something she can't offend, not to mention that she still wants Jia Zi to help Jia Yuanchun in the palace and let Jia Yuanchun go further!

Mrs. Wang is not stupid to be able to obtain the right to housekeeper from Jia's mother.She knew the relationship between Jia Zi and Jia Min, as well as the relationship between Jia Zi and Wei Cheng, and she knew that since Jia Zi mentioned Jia Min's illness, it was impossible not to know that Wei Cheng's resignation was related to Jia Yuanchun.Therefore, the matter of asking Jia Zi to help speak for Jia Yuanchun really couldn't come out of her mouth, she had to find someone else to talk about it.And the person who opened the mouth was naturally none other than Jia Zhen.

After making up her mind, Mrs. Wang kindly asked Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan about how old they were and how many books they had read; then she talked about Jiazi's good fortune enviously: Over the years, Lin Hai Jiazi was the only woman by his side, which made women all over the world jealous. Then he mentioned Jiazhu who died young, and he regretted Jiazhu's untimely death, implying that Jiazi could not always force his eldest son to study.

Speaking of which, Jia Zi never expected that the fragile Jia Zhu would pass away at such a young age, leaving only his young wife and young son.However, Mrs. Wang's way of mentioning Jia Zhu and her children together still made Jia Zi extremely displeased.

"Sister-in-law Ertang," Jia Zi fiddled with the teacup in his hand: "The dead are gone. Zhu'er can no longer be resurrected, but Zhu'er's son is here. I believe that as long as he is properly cultivated, this child will definitely inherit his life in the future." Father’s behest, 20 years later, the second place and the number one scholar are not out of the question.” Of course, in Jia Zi’s view, this kind of thinking is obviously unrealistic: Jia’s family may not be able to produce a number one scholar, and it is considered a success if they can produce a Jinshi. Not bad.

If Jiazi's casual tone was ignored, perhaps Mrs. Wang would really think that she was trying to comfort herself.However, Jiazi's casual tone told Mrs. Wang that Jiazi didn't pay attention to this matter at all.

"Oh," Mrs. Wang could only sigh: "Poor parents in the world!" Mrs. Wang wiped her tears: "I gave birth to three children, Zhu'er is no longer here, and Yuan'er has entered that kind of place again." ..."

"Sister-in-law Ertang be careful." Jia Zi directly interrupted Mrs. Wang's words: "Qinyuan is the female history of the noble concubine in the palace. She enjoys the grace of the saints and the beauty of the sky. This is something that many court ladies can't wait for!" What he said made Jiazi's teeth sore.If Mrs. Wang said such words, if Jiazi's previous temper was followed, she would have slammed the table long ago: What is that kind of place, and why is that kind of place so shameful?Knowing that he can't be seen by others, he can still send his daughter in, so he must be hiding his shameful thoughts.What's the point of saying this now?Of course, Jia Zi's temper is not much better now, it's just that he is too lazy to answer Jia Yuanchun's words.

Mrs. Wang choked on Jia Zi's words, her face changed suddenly, and her hands couldn't help but clenched the cup tightly, as if she wanted to smash it down hard.However, Mrs. Wang quickly calmed down her emotions, and said with a dry smile: "Azi is right! I feel sorry for Yuan'er too!"

Jia Zi nodded: "It's fine to talk about this kind of thing in front of me. As for other people... as long as the second cousin remembers to be cautious when speaking in the future. By the way, what about the second cousin?" Actually, Jia Zi It may not be that he really wants to see Jia Zheng, it's just a casual question.

Jiazi's "you are so ignorant" appearance made Mrs. Wang's teeth itch with hatred, but she still had to smile and said, "Of course the master is now in the Ministry of Industry! Your uncle." Mrs. Wang could only turn to Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan, saying, "I'm busy in the Ministry of Industry, and I'm not at home right now. Don't worry about the two of you, we will see each other later."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Yu'er knows."

Seeing the smile on Lin Daiyu's face, Mrs. Wang froze immediately, and some bad thoughts flashed in her heart, she couldn't help saying: "Your siblings will be in the capital from now on, so you can come to the mansion often. There are three girls in the mansion, you can play and read together, and learn needlework. But there is one thing that I really can't let go of: there is a villain in my family. He is a year older than Yu'er, He is a troublemaker, a demon king. He fulfilled his vow when he went to the temple today. You may not see him. Yu'er, if you see him in the future, ignore him. These sisters of yours are afraid to provoke his."

Lin Daiyu frowned slightly.She naturally understood what Mrs. Wang meant, which was nothing more than keeping herself away from her son.But, what does she think of herself? Can anyone play with her?

Before coming to Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zi mentioned to Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan that the Jia family had several cousins ​​who were of the same generation as them.Lin Daiyu can naturally guess who the "evil son" in Mrs. Wang's mouth is, it must be her legitimate son Jia Baoyu.In fact, Lin Daiyu never thought about having any contact with Jia Baoyu.But she never thought that Mrs. Wang could say such words to herself when she met for the first time.

"Second Aunt was joking," Lin Daiyu said coldly with a sullen face, "at my cousin's age, I naturally have to study hard to prepare for the scientific examination, so why would I have the leisure to come and play with my sisters?"

Jia Zi took a look at Lin Daiyu, never expecting that she would have guessed Jia Baoyu's nature of being a loafer and ignorant person so quickly.

Mrs. Wang's complexion also turned bad, and she said with an embarrassed smile: "You don't know. This Baoyu has been very smart since he was a child, and he is loved by others. The old lady loves him the most. He was originally with the sisters. A pampered place. If one day the sisters ignore him, he can still be quieter. Even if he is upset and feels nothing interesting, it is just a second door, kicking the servants around him to vent his anger, even if it is the past Yes. But if one day the sisters talk to him more, once he is happy, I don’t know how many things will happen! He is a man, sometimes sweet talk, sometimes listening to the wind is raining, sometimes crazy, sometimes crazy Stupid, stupid, don't listen to him."

Lin Daiyu looked dumbfounded at Mrs. Wang's expression of "I'm sincerely doing it for you", and said to herself, "Isn't this just an apprentice and a bum? Why does Second Aunt have the nerve to say that he is extremely smart?"

Lin Yan, on the other hand, moved his lips slightly, and directly uttered two words that made Mrs. Wang turn pale with anger: "I owe you a beating."

"Second sister-in-law," he gave his son a thumbs up in his heart, and Jia Zi almost laughed outright, and quickly corrected his expression, pretending to be concerned, and said: "I didn't say you, this child is sick, he needs to be treated quickly Is it because the second cousin's official position is not enough, the government can't hire an imperial doctor, so he can only hire some quack doctors from the countryside, which delays the child's illness? Why don't you ask someone to take my name card and go to the imperial hospital to invite a doctor for Baoyu? Can the doctor take a look?"

The author has something to say: When Mrs. Wang said those words, everyone can see that she couldn't control her own stature.

Mrs. Xing: I really care about housekeeping rights

Jia Amnesty: I am 40 years old and [-] years old, and I look at my wife like an old lady

Jia Zi: Jia Baoyu is really sick

Lin Hai: Hearing this, he won't live for a few years

Jia Jing: My sister is coming back, I have to clean up the Taoist temple and get ready to welcome her

Mrs. Wang: What did I say, no, that's not my mouth
