[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

In fact, on such an occasion today, it is not surprising that people in Jiamu's yard come and go, and there are some noisy voices.It's just that the voice of the dispute was too loud, so loud that even the people in the bustling room could hear it.Moreover, in such a lively atmosphere, the sound of the dispute was too abrupt, so abrupt that it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The girls in the room couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the louder and louder arguments outside.They really couldn't figure out what kind of person would cause trouble in Jiamu's yard on such an occasion today: it couldn't be that the servants of Rongguo Mansion clashed with the guests who came to pay Jiamu's birthday—— Even if the servants of Rongguo Mansion are not used to the rules, but most of the guests who came today are famous people, so how can they care about the same as the servants?

Listening to the quarrel outside, Mrs. Xing's eyes gloated a little: This time, the surname Wang is really embarrassing!Thinking of Mrs. Wang's kind-looking face, but actually more vicious than anyone else's, turned into a pig-colored face, Mrs. Xing couldn't control the smile on the corner of her mouth, and wanted to take this rare opportunity to ruthlessly "step on" Wang. Ma'am a few feet.

However, before Mrs. Xing opened her mouth to taunt Mrs. Wang, Jia Zi gave her a stare.

After receiving Jia Zi's hint, Mrs. Xing quickly shut her mouth tightly, swallowing the sarcasm she almost blurted out.Fearing that Jiazi would not understand, Mrs. Xing shook her head immediately, indicating that she understood what she meant, and would definitely not take the initiative to provoke at this time.

Although Mrs. Xing is a bit stingy and mean, she is not stupid after all.She knew very well in her heart that the relationship between her and Jia She was improved precisely because Jia Zi kept mentioning her secretly after he came back, and Jia She always listened to Jia Zi's words the most.If it weren't for Jia Zi's presence, Jia Amnesty would have become even more lawless, Jia Yingchun would not treat her like a mother, and Jia Lian would still ignore her existence as before.Thinking of her current life, Mrs. Xing said that it was not a life in the past; she did not want to offend Jazi and let herself go back to being ignored by everyone, even the servants at home looked down on her. What a miserable life!

Therefore, even though Mrs. Xing really wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Mrs. Wang, she still chose to shut up after receiving Jia Zi's hint.However, although she didn't open her mouth to ridicule Mrs. Wang, the look of interest on her face made it possible to see through her deep thoughts about watching a drama at a glance.

However, no one really paid attention to Mrs. Xing's face at the moment - everyone's attention was attracted by the sound of arguments in the yard.

Although Mrs. Xing rarely took the opportunity to insult Mrs. Wang, the louder arguments outside still made Mrs. Wang panic with embarrassment.After all, she is now the rightful headed mistress of the Rongguo Mansion, and the responsibility for such a thing to happen on Mother Jia's birthday must fall on her.

Although Mrs. Wang already hated those who caused trouble outside to death, and even wanted to kill all the troublesome dog slaves after today's birthday banquet, she didn't show it at all on the surface.

In the end, Mrs. Wang still stood up, intending to go out to see which deadly thing dared to make trouble under her nose.

Although in front of everyone, Mrs. Wang didn't show any expression.However, as soon as she turned around, the anger and resentment on her face could no longer be hidden: Wang Xifeng is an idiot who has done more than succeed in his successes and has more than ruined his affairs—today's birthday banquet was arranged by Wang Xifeng alone. Madam naturally wanted to blame Wang Xifeng—but, I'm afraid no one would listen to her explanation at that time.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the money in the mansion is really a little nervous recently, she would not have given such a publicity to Wang Xifeng - she is not Wang Xifeng, so it is naturally impossible to use her private house to subsidize Jiamu's birthday banquet.As for the birthday presents from various prefectures, they belonged to Mother Jia's private treasury, so naturally they would not fall into Mrs. Wang's hands.Therefore, Mrs. Wang simply "generously" left today's birthday banquet to Wang Xifeng, who always likes to show off.But who would have imagined that such a thing would happen.

In this way, Mrs. Wang naturally blamed Wang Xifeng in her heart: it was Wang Xifeng's lack of ability that made such a big mistake, but in the end she wanted to blame her, and even asked her to clean up the mess ——It's no wonder Mrs. Wang doesn't hate Wang Xifeng!

Today's protagonist, Mother Jia, naturally also heard voices from outside: someone made trouble at her birthday party, and Mother Jia was naturally extremely displeased, and she was even more dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang in her heart.It's just that Jia's mother is a person who has seen big winds, waves and big scenes, and knows how to deal with such scenes.

"Amber," Mother Jia turned directly to her close maid beside her, with a kind smile, "Go out and see which servant is so ignorant that he offended the distinguished guests in the mansion. The newcomer in this mansion The servants don't know the rules, and they are making a lot of noise, which makes the distinguished guests laugh." Afterwards, Jiamu said it to Princess Nan'an with a smile, which can be regarded as explaining the reason for the dispute outside.

Hearing Jia Mu's words, Jia Zi couldn't help but sighed in admiration: Jiang is really old and spicy - since the outside voice can't be covered up, it's better to let her tell the truth than to let everyone guess wildly; At the same time, he passed the blame to the new servants in the mansion, and successfully took the initiative.

As we all know, Rongguo Mansion is building a family-saving villa, and building a family-friendly villa naturally requires people.Although Jia Amnesty didn't take away many servants when he separated, how dare Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang use the people who came out of his yard?Therefore, Rongguo Mansion has really recruited a lot of servants recently.

Although these new servants usually do not affect Jia Mu's yard, but on an occasion like today, the original servants are too busy, so it is entirely possible for the new servants to come to help.Therefore, it is really a very good excuse for the new servants to cause trouble due to poor training.

Concubine Nan'an smiled and nodded: "Your servants are ignorant, just train them slowly. Elder sister, don't let this affect your mood. Today is a good day for you." Mrs. Nan'an The concubine's words echoed Jia's mother's words, and pushed the matter to the untrained servants: they are all masters, so naturally it is impossible to care about them like servants.

Wang Xifeng interrupted with a smile: "I guess, it must be that the servants in the mansion know that today is a good day for the ancestors, so they are here to pay respects to the ancestors!" The words of Mother Jia and Concubine Nan'an also successfully showed off her quick reflexes in front of the ladies.

Hearing Wang Xifeng's address to Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing's mouth twitched, and she said disdainfully: "Huh, I don't even look at what I am, who talks about my ancestors and who shuts up about my ancestors, really thinks that I am from this mansion." Where is the young mistress!" Mrs. Xing naturally disdains Wang Xifeng: she has already been divorced by Jia Lian, and she still stays in this mansion to show off her power with shamelessness, and she is as shameless as her "good" aunt.

Jia Min heard Mrs. Xing's muttering voice, and almost laughed out of control: Why does she always tell the truth, sister-in-law?Doesn't she know that the truth always offends people?Fortunately, no one in the room noticed what she said, otherwise, wouldn't she be scolded again?

In fact, Jia Min couldn't understand that Wang Xifeng was still staying in Rongguo Mansion, and felt very embarrassed.However, no matter whether it is Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, or even Wang Xifeng herself, they don't take this matter related to the reputation of Wang Xifeng and Rongguo Mansion seriously, so Jia Min naturally ignores it—anyway, the people in this mansion There is no place for her anymore, so why should she do such thankless things?Left and right are just trying to maintain face.

Jia Zi didn't notice what Mrs. Xing said.Looking at the weird smile on Wang Xifeng's mouth, she was slightly distracted: Is it an illusion?Why is there a weird smile on Wang Xifeng's mouth?Could it be that what happened outside has something to do with Wang Xifeng?

Naturally, Wang Xifeng noticed Jiazi's gaze staring at her, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty: Did Jiazi see something?No, no, she was very careful about this matter, since Jiazi is not from the Rongguo Mansion, nor is he close to the mansion, so she definitely wouldn't know about it.Yes, she must be deceiving herself...

While convincing herself in her heart, Wang Xifeng took a deep breath, smiled and said to Mother Jia: "Old ancestor..."

"Everyone, hurry up and comment," the rogue-like male voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "Our father and son came here to pay respects to the old lady's birthday, but the mother-in-law didn't let us in. This is not a dog...you look down on people!"

The sudden change of words almost made Jia Zi laugh outright.Jiazi naturally knew what the person outside said originally, but at this moment, the person outside was Mrs. Wang.So it is self-evident who this "dog's eyes look down on people" is.It's just... when did Mrs. Wang have in-laws?

The question in Jiazi's heart was also the question in the hearts of everyone present: Mrs. Wang gave birth to two sons and a daughter, the eldest son died young, and married Li Wan, the daughter of Guozijian Jijiu, but Li Jijiu is no longer there, so naturally it is impossible to come And her only daughter, Jia Yuanchun, entered the palace early, and her second son, Jia Baoyu, has not yet married, so where did she come from?As for the others, Jia Zheng still has a concubine son and a concubine daughter, but these two are younger than Jia Baoyu, and they are not yet married... So, where does the outside in-laws come from?

It was Jia Min who reacted first, stood up straight away, and said with a smile, "The stage has already been set up in the garden outside, why don't we go to the theater first!" Jia Min said, and gave Jia Zi a look, Let Jazi hurry up to help.In fact, Jia Min was also very unwilling to take care of this matter, but in the end she had to stand up: Although she was extremely disappointed with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, Jia Tanchun and the other children were innocent after all, and she couldn't just because of this. Get your reputation hurt!

"Listen to you." Jia Zi smiled and took Jia Min's arm: "I heard that Xiangqing class is very difficult to get!"

Hearing Jia Zi's words, Jia's mother also reacted from the shock, and couldn't help laughing and joked: "I know you are picky, so your sister-in-law specially invited the Xiangqing class. Today you are lucky."

The corners of Jiazi's eyes twitched slightly: Since when did she like to listen to opera?Everyone in the capital knows that the thing Jia Zi dislikes the most since he was a child is listening to operas.However, at this time, Jiazi would not be wicked to tear down Jiamu's platform.Therefore, Jia Zi narrowed his eyes with a smile on Jia Mu's unintentional words: "It's not because Aunt Tang loves me."

"Okay," Jia Min hurriedly shook off Jia Zi's arm pretending to be angry, squeezed Jia Zi's delicate face, and said coquettishly: "Mother only loves Xiao Zi, and doesn't love me anymore. No, today I will Be sure to listen to two more plays."

"You girl," Jia's mother said kindly, "When will I stop loving you? Well, I'll let you go out a little more today, okay? Well, Min'er, hurry up and invite all the distinguished guests. In the garden, the Xiangqing class has already made preparations and is waiting for us to pass." Mother Jia naturally understood what Jia Zi and Jia Min meant, so she just followed the two people's words and planned to send the female family members of this house directly. Lead to the garden: You can't let everyone here just watch the jokes of Rongguo Mansion!Min'er and Azi were quick-witted, and that idiot from the second's family didn't know what he was doing, and couldn't handle even the slightest things well. How could she rest assured that Baoyu's marriage would be entrusted to her?

Although everyone present thought that the "drama" in Rongqing hall must be much more exciting and attractive than the drama in Xiangqing troupe.However, they all knew in their hearts that it was impossible for them to stay here at this time.Therefore, as soon as Jiamu's words came out, they all stood up one after another, planning to go to the garden to listen to the play together: Anyway, the servants of the Rongguo Mansion are notoriously loose with their mouths, and they want to know what happened just now It is also very simple, as long as people inquire about it, they will know, and there is no need to rush at this moment.

Just when everyone was about to leave for the garden, people from outside suddenly broke in, and Mrs. Wang and Amber ran in right after the two of them.Mrs. Wang looked slightly embarrassed, as if she was talking about something.

A father and son came in.There was a person in his forties, wearing a half-worn gown, and a pair of wretched eyes kept looking at the furnishings in the room, as if he was estimating how much those antiques that looked expensive should be worth; And behind him is a young man about 20 years old, wearing the same half-worn blue gown on his thin body, his father's eyes very similar to those of his father fell carelessly on the bodies of the girls in the room, a pair of Seductive look.

The moment the father and son came in, Jia Zi subconsciously stood in front of Jia Min, protecting Jia Min tightly behind him.At the same time, the woman's fierce screams rang out in the ears.This was the voice of the girls in the room who had reacted: they had never experienced such a thing before, so they naturally felt extremely humiliated and panicked.

Obviously, the father and son were also taken aback by the sudden and high-frequency scream.However, before they could react, they were thrown out of the door by the oncoming whip.

"Sister-in-law, first take everyone to the garden to drink some tea to calm the shock." Jiazi stood at the door like a guardian with a whip in his hand, and ordered Madam Xing without looking back.In fact, Jia Zi originally wanted to ask Jia Min to do it. After all, Jia Min is much more reliable than Mrs. Xing.However, looking at the father and son with welt marks on their faces and an unconcealable rascal look outside, Jia Zi still didn't call Jia Min by her boudoir name, but went directly to Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing nodded heavily when she heard Jia Zi's words. She gave up her life for righteousness, and directly led the frightened women in the room out from the side door of Rongqing Hall to the garden where the stage had been set up. walk in.

The girls who were frightened by the rogue father and son looked at Jiazi's slender but reassuring back gratefully, and thought in unison in their hearts, "Fortunately, Azi is here, otherwise..." After all, this is an era that values ​​women's honor. .If the father and son hadn't been whipped out by Jia Zi in time, their reputation would be affected.

Mrs. Wang saw Mrs. Xing triumphantly leading all the female relatives out of the side door of Rongqing Hall, and she was very angry: This is obviously her home, and Mrs. Xing is the oldest, what right does she have to bring people here action?And Jiazi, what kind of thing is she, why should she order this and that like a master in her home?Of course, Mrs. Xing is even more of a bitch, if Jia Zi gave her a bone, she would just run away.

However, what Mrs. Wang hates the most at this time is the rogue father and son who keep calling her "mother-in-law", as well as the mother and daughter of the You family: If it weren't for the mother and daughter of the You family, she would not have become the laughing stock of everyone , and was even pushed a big somersault by that rascal old man.

Realizing that all the girls behind him had already left, Jia Zi curled his lips, glanced at the father and son in front of him who had received two lashes from him for the sloppy behavior just now, and turned and walked outside.

"Azi," Mrs. Wang saw that Jiazi was about to leave, and thought of the rogue behavior of the father and son just now, she quickly stopped Jiazi: "You can stay for a while! This matter, alas, I don't know what to do." How to solve it." Madam Wang was also very unwilling to ask Jiazi for help; but, if the scoundrel father and son go crazy again, only Jiazi can stop them.Besides, with Jiazi's identity and temper, even if she really beat someone to death, it has nothing to do with the Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang's abnormal behavior made Jia Zi raise his eyebrows slightly, and immediately understood Mrs. Wang's plan.Thinking that Mrs. Wang dared to take advantage of her, Jiazi couldn't help feeling a little angry.However, after thinking about Jia Min, Jia Zi finally sighed in his heart and stopped his steps: Forget it, this is Jia Min's natal family after all, the disturbance is too ugly, Jia Min's face is not nice.

"Go to the front and tell the guests." After thinking for a while, Jia Zi directly pulled a servant over and said softly, "It's fine here, the female relatives have all gone to the garden to listen to the opera; besides, find someone to tell the girls Just say, don't come here." Jiazi knew very well that what happened here must have spread to the Rongxi Hall ahead.In order to avoid unnecessary troubles caused by all the people from Rongxi Hall, Jia Zi sent people to Rongxi Hall directly.At the same time, she was worried that Lin Daiyu and the others would barge in again without knowing it, so she simply sent someone to stop the girls from coming.

"Tell me." After arranging these things, Jia Zi turned his head to look at Mrs. Wang: "What's going on?"

Mrs. Wang glared at the rogue-looking father and son, and then said in a tone full of grievances: "It's not all because of the surname You. My master took their mother and daughter into the mansion with good intentions." Come and take care of us, but who would have thought that they would harm us like this. Sigh, if this kind of thing gets out, our mansion will no longer be able to behave like a human being."

"You mean," Jia Zi frowned slightly: "The sisters of the You family are already married? Which one?" If it wasn't for Mrs. Wang, Jia Zi would never have remembered that You's mother had become Jia Zheng's concubine. The You sisters should already be counted as the daughters of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.From this point of view, it is not a problem for Mrs. Wang to be called the mother-in-law.

Before Mrs. Wang could reply, the older man jumped up, patted his buttocks, and looked at Jia Zi flatteringly: "This lady is really smart. This is my son Zhang Hua, "As he said, he pulled his son by his side, and said with a smile: "I have been married to the second sister of the You family since I was a child. I just turned my face and didn't recognize anyone..."

"Go and invite Aunt You over here." With an indifferent appearance, Jia Zi directly ordered Jin Chuan who was next to Mrs. Wang: "Since this is her girl's business, it is natural for her to handle it."

Mrs. Wang nodded quickly: "Yes, Azi is right. Since the You family caused this matter, it is natural for them to solve it." After speaking, Mrs. Wang gave Jin Chuan a look, and motioned for Jin Chuan to take over the matter. The culprit was the mother and daughter of the You family: After all, Mother You is not qualified to be present on an occasion like today, and it is impossible for the You sisters to appear in Rongqing Hall.

"By the way, the girl from the You family doesn't need to come here." Jia Zi thought for a while, and then added: Even if the second sister You and Zhang Hua were married by their fingers, they are not married after all, the second sister You Also an unmarried girl.It's not that Jia Zi cares about Second Sister You's reputation, but because the other girls in Jia's family are not married yet, so they can't be affected by Second Sister You.

While waiting for Mother You to come over, the Rongxi Hall sent someone to ask what was going on: after all, most of the Rongqing Hall are female relatives, and it is not good for a group of men to barge in so directly.However, when they heard that Jia Zi was also in the Rongqing Hall, most of the men were unanimously relieved and just sent someone over to ask.

Youmu was quickly found.As soon as Mother You saw Jiazi, she began to cry, crying about her grievances, about Zhang Hua being lazy, ignorant, and not worthy of her young, beautiful and gentle daughter, Second Sister You. ...

Although in Mrs. Wang's opinion, a woman like Second Sister You and a rascal like Zhang Hua are a perfect match; but, she has always been used to pretending to be a good person, so it is naturally impossible to express such thoughts.Therefore, she just looked at Mother You crying coldly, but refused to say a word for Second Sister You.

"What do you think, sister-in-law?" Jia Zi naturally would not let Mrs. Wang go, so after listening to what Youmu and Zhang's father and son had said, he looked directly at Mrs. Wang and asked her opinion with concern. .

"Well," Mrs. Wang scolded Jia Zi's shame in her heart, but she looked embarrassed on the face: "I don't know what to do. It stands to reason that the second sister is also a child of our family now. , but this marriage was arranged for her by her biological father after all, this..." Mrs. Wang naturally couldn't directly say that Second Sister You should marry Zhang Hua, which gave people reason, but her words revealed she means.It's just that she keeps using Second Sister You's biological father as a shield, and no one can catch her.

As soon as Zhang's father heard such words, he immediately laughed happily: "My mother-in-law is too right. If it weren't for this child's mother, my Hua'er would have married a long time ago."

Zhang's father looked like "Second Sister You delayed Zhang Hua", which made You's mother's teeth itch with anger, and made Mrs. Wang straightforward: Second Sister You is indeed a dead star, so hurry up and marry this scoundrel.

And Mother You burst into tears: "Madam, how can you... Even if our second sister is not your biological daughter, you can't let her marry a scoundrel? What's more, the second sister's biological father It's long gone, how can this marriage be counted..."

Just as Mother You was crying, Lin Hui rushed in with a group of kids in a hurry.

"Mother," Lin Hui rushed directly to Jiazi's side, took Jiazi's arm with concern, and asked anxiously, "Are you okay? Where is the rascal?"

As soon as he heard Lin Hui's words, Zhang's father stared, and immediately wanted to curse.However, looking at the whip that Jiazi was holding in his hand, Zhang's father shrank his neck and still didn't dare to speak.

"Why are you here?" Jia Zi gently wiped the sweat from Lin Hui's head, smiled and said to the other boys next to him: "Don't worry, everyone, your mother has gone to the garden to listen to the play now. You If you are not at ease, you can go and have a look now."

Lin Hui closed his eyes slightly, with a look of enjoyment on his face: "I won't go. I want to stay here and protect my mother."

Wei Ruolan looked at Lin Hui's complacent appearance, curled her lips secretly, and said to herself, "What are you proud of? If my mother was here, she would wipe my sweat, as if you are the only one who has a mother. No, I'll go find my mother in a while, and ask her to wipe my sweat."

Chen Jun on the side also shook his head: "Aunt Zi, we also want to stay." Chen Jun also said, turned his head, and looked at Zhang's father and son with a serious face. It looks like a fight.

The boy who came with Lin Hui, Wei Ruolan and others, like Chen Jun, stared at Zhang Hua and his son with hostility.

Being stared at by several growing boys, Zhang Hua and his son are both adults, so they can't help feeling a little frightened.What's more, Jia Zi was watching from the sidelines, and the whip in his hand never retracted.

Seeing such a scene, the legs of Zhang Hua and his son were a little weak.The father and son looked at each other, and both saw fear in each other's eyes.

In the end, the negotiations between Zhang's father and You's mother about the marriage between Zhang Hua and You's second sister did not result in any results: the Zhang family naturally did not agree to the dissolution of the engagement, after all, in their eyes, the Jia's family is now regarded as relatives of the emperor. And the second sister You got on the ride of Jia's family, so her status naturally increased. Therefore, this marriage is beneficial to them and has no harm; After the prosperity and prosperity of Rong Er Mansion, after seeing Jia Zi and Jia Min's perfect marriage, after seeing Jia Yuanchun's success in one day, it is naturally impossible to marry his daughter to a penniless family like the Zhang family .

Of course, Jiazi has no interest in who Second Sister You will marry: anyway, as long as she doesn't plan to be Lin Hai's concubine.

Therefore, after Lin Hui and other boys came over, Jia Zi saw that there was nothing wrong here, so he directly handed over the matter here to Lin Hui and Wei Ruolan, and turned to find Jia Zi by himself.

Jia Zi successfully found Jia Min who was eavesdropping at the side door of Rongqing Hall.However, the two of them didn't go to the garden to listen to the play, but directly found a place and chatted privately.He didn't show up again until the banquet started.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Mrs. Wang: No problem, I don't mind whoever she wants to marry

Jazi: I just want to see how you act

Mrs. Xing: I keep a low profile too superficially, and the audience can see it at a glance
