Jia Min of the Red Chamber is very arrogant
Chapter 74
On the day of Tanchun's marriage, she sat in the sedan chair and recalled her life for the past ten years, with a lot of emotion in her heart.From the ancestral home of the Jia family in Jinling to the Du family in Jinling, it was only an hour's journey. Tanchun seemed to walk through his life from birth to the present again.
Because of a unique sensitivity, Tanchun began to alienate his biological mother and curry favor with his aunt as long as he could remember.Obviously unwilling in his heart, but flattering and flattering everywhere.Although it was very painful, at least Mrs. Wang, who had a lot of lives in her hand, felt that Aunt Zhao was not a threat, so she didn't start to get rid of their mother and son.
When she was in Jia's mansion, she could only let her own brother be cowardly and reckless by his biological mother, without any manliness. Jia Huan can only gain a foothold if he is worthless.It wasn't until Jia Huan became sensible and knew how to hide his abilities that Tanchun dared to secretly urge Jia Huan to study. When he and Huan'er went south with their grandmother, Jia Huan's economics articles were almost as good as Baoyu's.
Tanchun was the first person in Rongguo Mansion to have a premonition that the final destination of Rongguo Mansion must be the one who ransacked the house and committed crimes, because she knew it early and deeply, and she suffered more and deeper than others.While others were still drunk, Tanchun had already felt the pain on his skin.
Fortunately, Rongguo Mansion doesn't have people with long-term vision, but my aunt has very sharp eyesight. She urged her grandmother to go south for the elderly several times, but she was actually trying to persuade her to avoid disaster.After the grandmother got sick from the anger of the uncle and his wife, the grandmother was suddenly persuaded by the aunt, and the grandmother decided to go south to take care of the elderly.
Sensing a glimmer of life, Tanchun persuaded Jia Huan to go to Jia's mother and ask her to go south to serve her grandmother, and her grandmother agreed.At the same time, sister Xichun also went south. What Tanchun didn't expect was that the second brother didn't follow.On the day before leaving, my aunt came to see me off. Tanchun was amazed at the slowness of my father and mother. If they had any insight, they should have sent their second brother with them. Unfortunately, on such a big event, there was no room for her, Jia Tanchun, to speak. .Sure enough, all the people who went south were exonerated, and those who stayed in the capital, even the second elder brother who had never done anything wrong, became an official slave.
After arriving in the south, there was a family entrusted by my aunt to take care of her, but no one came to find fault with her. Although grandma, grandchildren, grandchildren, old and young, life was much more comfortable than in Rongguo Mansion.Not long after, Tanchun received a letter from his aunt, saying that Concubine Nan'an recognized Shi Xiangyun as a foster daughter and sent her overseas to marry.
Tanchun was in a trance for a long time that day, and accidentally broke a teacup.Therefore, Jia Mu also said: "The third girl is usually steady, why is she so careless today?"
Tanchun smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.Before the aunt's family returned to Beijing, Mrs. Wang never took her out to socialize. After the aunt's family returned to Beijing, it was the aunt or sister Daiyu who posted a post for her, so she had the opportunity to go out.That's it, when someone inquired about whether he was engaged, Mrs. Wang always rejected it on the grounds that she was still young.At that time, Tanchun had an ominous premonition.To Mrs. Wang, I am just a dispensable bargaining chip. If I hadn't gone south with my grandmother, I don't know whether it is myself or Xiangyun who will marry the princess this time.
Later, Jia's family was indeed convicted, and the majestic Rongguo Mansion collapsed. Tanchun thought she would be very sad, but strangely, when she actually received the letter from her aunt, she was very calm.Not only is she calm, but even her ancestors are calm.Even Huan'er and Xichun were calm, perhaps not only me, but even my grandmother, Huaner and Xichun had a premonition.
Maybe it was for Uncle Lin's sake, maybe it was for Brother Lian's sake, maybe it was a combination of both, the new emperor did not inquire about the crimes of the people in the south of Ning Rong's Second Mansion, and none of his own people were enslaved.This is already a very good result. Tanchun thought that he would raise Huan'er and take good care of his grandmother in the Jinling residence. In the future, after the grandmother is a hundred years old, Huan'er will have the ability to raise his elder sister.I don't want to have a day to marry, but marry a scholarly family, an official.Tanchun thought to himself that he was lucky.
On the way to get married, Tanchun thought about it all the way in the sedan chair until Xi Niang took his hand and got off the sedan chair.Tanchun saw her husband for the first time during the bridal chamber. He had red lips and white teeth. He was a typical Jiangnan scholar. He was handsome with a bit of elegance and gentleness. Very satisfied, Mr. Du was actually better than he imagined.
Mr. Du's name is Du Yuan. Ever since he saw Jia Huan's sister's beautiful handwriting and Jia Huan's excellent appearance, he thought that as long as Tanchun looks like his younger brother, he is already a rare beauty.A girl who can run a well-organized house with only grandmothers and young grandchildren, a girl who can write well, and has a good appearance, has long been considered rare.Now seeing the slender person under the big red hijab, she is even more beautiful than what he imagined. A girl with a good handwriting.
After marriage, Tanchun and Du Yuan are in harmony. They often recite poems and write books together. Tanchun cherishes the leisure time in front of him.In the midst of the ruinous decline of many families with four kings and eight males, Tanchun's eyes became sharper.
She used to be proud of her talents, and she had long had the lofty ambition of "If I were a man, I could go out, I would have left long ago, and I will start a career, and I will have my own reasons", but the arrogance and ability in the boudoir are after all just empty talk.When I really came to the south, I took care of the family myself for several years, stayed away from disputes and thought carefully about the disintegration of a wealthy and prominent family, and Tanchun's views changed again.Tanchun suddenly understood how to keep the foolish and clumsy, and entered Du's house without showing his edge, and lived his own life behind closed doors.
The Du family is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface, Du Yuan is the only son of the second family, and the Du family has another long family.When Mrs. Du was still alive, Du's parents' house and second room still maintained a superficial harmony, but after Mrs. Du's death, it was inevitable that they would plot against each other.
Tanchun will be out of the period of filial piety for Jia's mother, and Grandpa Du will pass away. The grandchildren will go out of filial piety first. The unknown body after the official, exhausted the old man to death or something.
When talking about their marriage, Jia Min and Mrs. Wu inquired about the situation of the Du family for Tanchun. After Tanchun heard Jia Huan say that Du Yuan was motivated, he looked good, and he was from a clean family, so there was no more. Nothing to fault.His parents were convicted, and he was a concubine. Although he escaped, it was great to find someone like Du Yuan.She was able to live under the hands of Mrs. Wang in the Rongguo Mansion, and the servants in the house did not dare to bully her, so she was naturally not afraid of Du's family.Moreover, the second wife of the Du family only had Du Yuan as his son-in-law, and the other two eldest sisters-in-law were both married, and there were no disputes between sisters-in-law, so she was more satisfied, so when the Du family proposed marriage, Tanchun agreed after a little thought.
Mrs. Du is also a long-sighted person, with a keen sense of the vicissitudes of the situation in the court, he retreated bravely and returned home.His eyesight is evident here.The reason why he decided to choose Zhong Tanchun was because he naturally liked Tanchun's relatives Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian.Secondly, he also took a fancy to the frailty of the second house, only Du Yuan was an only child, so naturally he wanted to marry a capable one, so as not to be angry with the elder house.Moreover, after the eldest grandson's wife entered the house, she gradually revealed some domineering habits. If she finds a daughter-in-law who is too dutiful, she may suffer a big loss for the second wife and one family.
To say that the Du family is not like the Rongguo Mansion in the past, where the old and the young were disregarded, and the second master of the Du family did not have the intention to compete for the family property.But when Old Master Du was in Beijing, he also became a second-rank official. At that time, when Du's parents and grandchildren talked about their marriage, who didn't think that Old Master Du wanted to go straight to the first rank and even enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister?Therefore, Du Yun, the grandson of Du's parents, was talking about a good family and good relatives.
Du Yun's wife came rushing towards Feng Guanxia, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Du would retire and return to her hometown shortly after entering the door.Now that Tanchun and his wife are in harmony, Du Yuan is full of eyes only for Tanchun, and he is annoyed even by the maid in the room saying a few words to please him, but there are two concubines who look like goblins in his husband's room .Du Yun's wife thought to herself: I am the prostitute daughter in the family of a dignified second-rank official, and Tanchun is a concubine daughter who offended a fifth-rank official. Why is she living more comfortably than herself?I also saw that after Tanchun entered the door, he was honest and responsible, so how could he be as shrewd and powerful as rumored by the outside world?So Du Yun's daughter-in-law gradually disregarded Tanchun.
When Mrs. Du was alive, both sides still kept their dignity.Now the sister-in-law in the big house has just passed the filial piety period, and the servants around her say such things.The servant was very angry, and said: "Grandma used to be so capable. Among the many snobbish masters and servants in our house, which one would dare to chew on grandma's tongue behind her back like this? I said grandma is too good-natured now. "
Tan Chun laughed and said, "You girl, why can't I understand what you're saying? Whoever talks is in charge of his grandma, and it's not the girl in my room who talks. What are you talking about in front of me?"
Hearing Tanchun's words, the servant secretary wished he could stomp his feet up to wake up his own girl. Why is it that the third girl, Rose Flower, is softer and more deceitful than the second girl before she came out of the cabinet?The waiter was only in a hurry, but he didn't pay attention to the reactions of Tan Chunzheng looking at the maids in the room from the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, within a few days, Du Yun's daughter-in-law felt that Tanchun was soft and deceitful, and she didn't take Tanchun seriously.The second master of the Du family and his wife are good people, and they also think that the eldest house should inherit the family business, and they will not fight or grab it. In addition, the second house is not crowded, and the eldest house is bullying the second house even more.Now I heard that Erfang married a daughter-in-law with a backer. The rumors are so powerful, but I didn't expect her to be a face-to-face person who can be manipulated by others.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house secretly rejoiced, after the death of the old lady, such a second house has not been wiped out by himself?However, the eldest wife felt vaguely: This means that this Du Yuan's wife is really not capable at all, but it is said that this Du Yuan's wife has arranged her own dowry very well and made a lot of money.
It turned out that Tanchun had a quick mind, and Jia Huan also developed some shopping vision and skills.After the two brothers and sisters came to the south, in addition to using Jia's mother's ladder to live, after a year or so of observation, they invested the ladder given by Jia Min to buy a property. At that time, the siblings would have income. Later, Xichun also bought a small shop for her with money from her private house.
Later, Mother Jia divided Tiji into five shares, one for Baoyu, one for Tanchun, one for Xichun, and one for Jiahuan, and Yuanchun's share was quietly given to Baochai.Tanchun brought her own dowry with her, plus the makeup added by Jia Min, Mrs. Wu, Daiyu and others, her dowry was quite generous.After Tanchun went through the door, he also threw out these dowry, and the income was also quite a lot.Originally, this matter was kept a secret, but at this moment, how did the Chang Fang find out.
In the room of Mrs. Du's family, the eldest wife dismissed her servants and said to Du Yun's daughter-in-law: "I said, why is Du Yuan's daughter-in-law shaking her head when she asks like that? I know the truth about not revealing money."
Du Yun's daughter-in-law said: "It's a pity that she is still too young, so she is no match for my wife. If she hadn't relied on the Lin family, how could she have such a good source of goods for her to earn so much interest?"
The eldest lady snorted coldly and said, "It's fine if we didn't find out her details. Now that we find out, can't we take the business from her?"
Du Yun's daughter-in-law looked at the eldest wife suspiciously and said, "Please show me your wife."
There was a smile on the corner of the eldest wife's mouth, and she said after a long while: "A merchant pays much attention to profits. The quality of the goods in her hands is so good and the price is so low. How much profit can the merchants who supply her supply get? Let's make a point." It's quite a lot, I'm afraid we can win it over, otherwise it's still a huge profit. Both of us have shops in our dowries, so it would be better for us to snatch the suppliers from her and sell them in our shop. The current products in our shop have higher returns."
Du Yun's daughter-in-law laughed and said: "My wife is very right, but Du Yuan's wife is a young daughter-in-law, and her brother is younger. Where did she get such a source of goods? I'm afraid there is a backing behind, so it's not easy for us to snatch it."
The eldest lady snorted coldly and said: "It's all about being backed by the mountain. The goods of such fineness are only paid at such a price. I'm afraid that people's capital is not enough. What is it not to rely on the Lin family to bully others? Let's negotiate the price with the store and sell the goods. If she is a sensible person, just keep quiet. If she is not sensible, she will be charged with running amok in the village and oppressing the people. It is said that the wise man cherishes his reputation very much, so how could he marry her alone? The female bears the responsibility. Whenever she speaks out, Hou Zhizhi will just push her forward to attack her, and she will not be able to escape."
After hearing this, Du Yun's daughter-in-law took it for granted and called her wife wise.When talking about Tanchun giving us usury money, the eldest wife is a greedy one, she sneered and said: If she dares to do it, we will do it too, we will tie a boat with them on the left and right, and with the support of Mrs. Lin, the boat will not capsize.
As a result, the supply of goods in Tanchun's shop was robbed several times by the eldest wife, and Tanchun also swallowed his anger just as the long room expected.In this way, the long-term mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are more daring.
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house learned from the ear-reporting spirit who stayed in Tanchun's room: Tanchun intends to make a last-ditch effort, and he and his brothers raised money to buy a large sum of money. I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of benefits.After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have made several orders, their appetites have already grown. How can they let go of such an opportunity?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are afraid of attracting Tanchun's attention, so they dare not use the money from the official to be on the safe side. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put the dowry together, jealous of Tanchun, a concubine, who has such a big capital with the back of the Lin family, and proud of it As long as this order is made, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are far stronger than her.
Sure enough, on this day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house still sent their confidantes to follow Tanchun's shopkeeper to the dock to pick up the goods.When the shopkeeper in the Tanchun shop was about to hand over to the supplier, a peddler popped up from the sideways and insisted on paying a higher price to buy the goods ordered by the shopkeeper in the Tanchun shop.The supplier businessman was in a dilemma, and made repeated apologies to the old customer he had negotiated with before, and finally sold a boatload of Jingdezhen porcelain to the confidant of the eldest wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
That confidant was also careful, checked a few boxes of goods, and found that they were top-grade products without any flaws. He happily signed the deposit, handed over the bank notes, and even prepared the unloading force, and drove them one by one to Mrs. Longfang. The shop under the name of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is lucky.
After the long-term mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked away, Jia Huan came out of the cabin, took a stack of bank notes from the delivery head, and left with a sneer.The cooperating boat boss smiled with daisy-like creases all over his face.
In Du's family room, the eldest wife and daughter-in-law were listening to the ear god buried next to Tanchun saying that Du Yuan's daughter-in-law was so angry.The waiter even wondered if their private business was being targeted by others, otherwise how could they be preempted? The legendary daughter-in-law of Du Yuan is confident that she is keeping it a secret, and she will never let others know.
The ear god said it once, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed once. Du Yun's daughter-in-law could even say that the flowers were trembling, but the ear god and the eldest wife just laughed until their fat trembled.The three of them were smiling smugly, when a confidant maid outside hurriedly said: "Madam, grandma, it's not good."
The eldest wife even scolded the servant girl for becoming more and more unruly, what is worth panicking about.The servant girl was so frightened that her face paled, and when she told the eldest wife the truth, the three people who were so happy at the time were also scared out of their wits.
It turned out that they snatched the boat of porcelain from Tanchun, only the first few boxes were top quality, and the rest were broken pieces of porcelain.In order to maintain the credibility of the porcelain produced by several famous kilns in Jingdezhen, the defective products are smashed and do not flow into the market.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never really done business, but they rely on the ears in Tanchun's house to tell the gods. Whatever Tanchun does, they follow suit. After making money a few times, they become self-righteous. Such a big loss.
When I took out the transaction certificate, it was not the reputable store in the previous few times. This time, it was a group of profiteers. There was no such store in Jinling City, and the scammer had already gone far.Even the reporter has nowhere to report.
The dowry of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, except for the furniture at home, was almost all in this deal.Even the shop farm where the two were originally married, the two also felt that this time they must have made a lot of money, and they mortgaged several of them to raise enough capital to buy this boat of porcelain.
As a result, the long-term mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were tricked into a serious illness, and the creditor who was urging to repay the money came to the door again. The two had to beg for mercy for a few days, and at the same time, they were more bold in lending usury.Use the profits from usury to redeem your own farm shop.
A few months later, the Eldest Master, Eldest Wife, and Tanchun's parents-in-law were also out of their filial piety, so Tanchun dismissed all the rumors in his room, and went to the aunt's room with the certificate of the eldest wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. .Only now did the eldest wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know that Tanchun had discovered their activities a long time ago, and the reason why they kept those big people in the house was just to serve as bait to lure them into the bait.It's a pity that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are too late to regret.
Tanchun and the long house mother-in-law and daughter-in-law showed their cards, bluntly saying that you have committed the crime of usury and exploitation. If you sue yourself to the Yamen, you can still get meritorious for exposing and you will not be burdened by the long house in the future.As for Tanchun's giving of money before, it was just that Tanchun deliberately said it to the ear God, and she had never done anything illegal.
The long-lived mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have only known the advantages and disadvantages of Tanchun, and she begged Tanchun softly, saying: "Daughter-in-law Yuan, we are all members of the same family, so the six relatives don't recognize each other."Just pretend you don't know about this, and if we gain profits in the future, we can share it with you.
Tanchun sneered and said: "I am a criminal minister who is willing to take people's lives. I am very cowardly. How dare I bear such interest? I don't participate in the good things of my aunt and sister-in-law, and I pretend I don't know. But If one day there is a thorough investigation by the government, whether it is the whole family or not, my wife and sister-in-law will probably spare me a way."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's faces were burning hot when they heard Tanchun say "after the guilty minister", this Du Yuan's daughter-in-law is really scheming, and she can't bear it for many years.After all, the eldest wife had a better idea than Du Yun's wife, and asked Tanchun, "I don't know what Yuan's daughter-in-law means, how can I give the law this way?"
Tanchun laughed and said, "I'm a straightforward person. If I make a mistake, please take care of my aunt. My uncle is the head of the family, and our family also respects human relations. In order to avoid the business of my aunt and sister-in-law, I have to ask my uncle to take the lead. That’s all. The main house, the sacrificial land, etc. that should be inherited by the long house, we dare not covet. We only give half of the private property of the official house to our second house, which is reasonable and legal. What does Auntie think?"
According to the wishes of the eldest wife and daughter-in-law, it is natural that every penny should be distributed to the second wife, and she also said a few words, how can there be any reason for the old man to separate the family right after his death?Tanchun sneered and said, "I already knew about my aunt's doing these things. If it wasn't for my grandfather's filial piety, I would have come to argue about it. Auntie is really filial, why did she do such a thing before her grandfather's filial piety? Now that the filial piety period has passed, even if the family is separated, no one else can say anything?"
Now that the long house has fallen into Tanchun's hands, and seeing that the conditions offered by Tanchun are reasonable, the eldest wife has no choice but to agree.
As for the two good people, the second master and the second wife, they dared not speak out when they were bullied by their elder brothers and sisters-in-law. They were persuaded by Tanchun a few times, and they agreed.
From then on, the Du family really split up, and when the eldest wife and daughter-in-law were convicted, the second wife was not involved.Tanchun had a son at the age of 21, and later added a daughter.She is filial to her parents-in-law, her husband and wife are harmonious, and both her mother-in-law and her husband love her dearly.Although Du Yuan didn't take the merit test, he has become a great calligrapher of a generation, and his calligraphy is worth a fortune. In addition, Tanchun will take care of it, and Jia Huan will help each other, and his life is very good.
In the process of helping Tanchun and Baochai to purchase properties outside, Jia Huan showed a very high talent for business.After he became a scholar, he failed the exam several times, so he stopped taking the exam.But he managed the property very well and made a lot of money. He supported Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou. Later, he married a wife and became a small employee.
When the eldest aunt's family was convicted, Tanchun shed a tear. In her life, she never thought of harming anyone, but she never allowed others to bully her.
She is Jia Tanchun, who is more intelligent, shrewd and ambitious. She is the third girl who lives a beautiful life under Mrs. Wang's wife in Rongguo Mansion. The wife also gives her three points of face, and the old lady will not do anything to her.She is a red and fragrant rose, if you admire her, she will reward you with fragrance, if you break her, she will reward you with thorns.It's a pity that the uncle, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't understand this truth.
Because of a unique sensitivity, Tanchun began to alienate his biological mother and curry favor with his aunt as long as he could remember.Obviously unwilling in his heart, but flattering and flattering everywhere.Although it was very painful, at least Mrs. Wang, who had a lot of lives in her hand, felt that Aunt Zhao was not a threat, so she didn't start to get rid of their mother and son.
When she was in Jia's mansion, she could only let her own brother be cowardly and reckless by his biological mother, without any manliness. Jia Huan can only gain a foothold if he is worthless.It wasn't until Jia Huan became sensible and knew how to hide his abilities that Tanchun dared to secretly urge Jia Huan to study. When he and Huan'er went south with their grandmother, Jia Huan's economics articles were almost as good as Baoyu's.
Tanchun was the first person in Rongguo Mansion to have a premonition that the final destination of Rongguo Mansion must be the one who ransacked the house and committed crimes, because she knew it early and deeply, and she suffered more and deeper than others.While others were still drunk, Tanchun had already felt the pain on his skin.
Fortunately, Rongguo Mansion doesn't have people with long-term vision, but my aunt has very sharp eyesight. She urged her grandmother to go south for the elderly several times, but she was actually trying to persuade her to avoid disaster.After the grandmother got sick from the anger of the uncle and his wife, the grandmother was suddenly persuaded by the aunt, and the grandmother decided to go south to take care of the elderly.
Sensing a glimmer of life, Tanchun persuaded Jia Huan to go to Jia's mother and ask her to go south to serve her grandmother, and her grandmother agreed.At the same time, sister Xichun also went south. What Tanchun didn't expect was that the second brother didn't follow.On the day before leaving, my aunt came to see me off. Tanchun was amazed at the slowness of my father and mother. If they had any insight, they should have sent their second brother with them. Unfortunately, on such a big event, there was no room for her, Jia Tanchun, to speak. .Sure enough, all the people who went south were exonerated, and those who stayed in the capital, even the second elder brother who had never done anything wrong, became an official slave.
After arriving in the south, there was a family entrusted by my aunt to take care of her, but no one came to find fault with her. Although grandma, grandchildren, grandchildren, old and young, life was much more comfortable than in Rongguo Mansion.Not long after, Tanchun received a letter from his aunt, saying that Concubine Nan'an recognized Shi Xiangyun as a foster daughter and sent her overseas to marry.
Tanchun was in a trance for a long time that day, and accidentally broke a teacup.Therefore, Jia Mu also said: "The third girl is usually steady, why is she so careless today?"
Tanchun smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.Before the aunt's family returned to Beijing, Mrs. Wang never took her out to socialize. After the aunt's family returned to Beijing, it was the aunt or sister Daiyu who posted a post for her, so she had the opportunity to go out.That's it, when someone inquired about whether he was engaged, Mrs. Wang always rejected it on the grounds that she was still young.At that time, Tanchun had an ominous premonition.To Mrs. Wang, I am just a dispensable bargaining chip. If I hadn't gone south with my grandmother, I don't know whether it is myself or Xiangyun who will marry the princess this time.
Later, Jia's family was indeed convicted, and the majestic Rongguo Mansion collapsed. Tanchun thought she would be very sad, but strangely, when she actually received the letter from her aunt, she was very calm.Not only is she calm, but even her ancestors are calm.Even Huan'er and Xichun were calm, perhaps not only me, but even my grandmother, Huaner and Xichun had a premonition.
Maybe it was for Uncle Lin's sake, maybe it was for Brother Lian's sake, maybe it was a combination of both, the new emperor did not inquire about the crimes of the people in the south of Ning Rong's Second Mansion, and none of his own people were enslaved.This is already a very good result. Tanchun thought that he would raise Huan'er and take good care of his grandmother in the Jinling residence. In the future, after the grandmother is a hundred years old, Huan'er will have the ability to raise his elder sister.I don't want to have a day to marry, but marry a scholarly family, an official.Tanchun thought to himself that he was lucky.
On the way to get married, Tanchun thought about it all the way in the sedan chair until Xi Niang took his hand and got off the sedan chair.Tanchun saw her husband for the first time during the bridal chamber. He had red lips and white teeth. He was a typical Jiangnan scholar. He was handsome with a bit of elegance and gentleness. Very satisfied, Mr. Du was actually better than he imagined.
Mr. Du's name is Du Yuan. Ever since he saw Jia Huan's sister's beautiful handwriting and Jia Huan's excellent appearance, he thought that as long as Tanchun looks like his younger brother, he is already a rare beauty.A girl who can run a well-organized house with only grandmothers and young grandchildren, a girl who can write well, and has a good appearance, has long been considered rare.Now seeing the slender person under the big red hijab, she is even more beautiful than what he imagined. A girl with a good handwriting.
After marriage, Tanchun and Du Yuan are in harmony. They often recite poems and write books together. Tanchun cherishes the leisure time in front of him.In the midst of the ruinous decline of many families with four kings and eight males, Tanchun's eyes became sharper.
She used to be proud of her talents, and she had long had the lofty ambition of "If I were a man, I could go out, I would have left long ago, and I will start a career, and I will have my own reasons", but the arrogance and ability in the boudoir are after all just empty talk.When I really came to the south, I took care of the family myself for several years, stayed away from disputes and thought carefully about the disintegration of a wealthy and prominent family, and Tanchun's views changed again.Tanchun suddenly understood how to keep the foolish and clumsy, and entered Du's house without showing his edge, and lived his own life behind closed doors.
The Du family is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface, Du Yuan is the only son of the second family, and the Du family has another long family.When Mrs. Du was still alive, Du's parents' house and second room still maintained a superficial harmony, but after Mrs. Du's death, it was inevitable that they would plot against each other.
Tanchun will be out of the period of filial piety for Jia's mother, and Grandpa Du will pass away. The grandchildren will go out of filial piety first. The unknown body after the official, exhausted the old man to death or something.
When talking about their marriage, Jia Min and Mrs. Wu inquired about the situation of the Du family for Tanchun. After Tanchun heard Jia Huan say that Du Yuan was motivated, he looked good, and he was from a clean family, so there was no more. Nothing to fault.His parents were convicted, and he was a concubine. Although he escaped, it was great to find someone like Du Yuan.She was able to live under the hands of Mrs. Wang in the Rongguo Mansion, and the servants in the house did not dare to bully her, so she was naturally not afraid of Du's family.Moreover, the second wife of the Du family only had Du Yuan as his son-in-law, and the other two eldest sisters-in-law were both married, and there were no disputes between sisters-in-law, so she was more satisfied, so when the Du family proposed marriage, Tanchun agreed after a little thought.
Mrs. Du is also a long-sighted person, with a keen sense of the vicissitudes of the situation in the court, he retreated bravely and returned home.His eyesight is evident here.The reason why he decided to choose Zhong Tanchun was because he naturally liked Tanchun's relatives Lin Ruhai and Jia Lian.Secondly, he also took a fancy to the frailty of the second house, only Du Yuan was an only child, so naturally he wanted to marry a capable one, so as not to be angry with the elder house.Moreover, after the eldest grandson's wife entered the house, she gradually revealed some domineering habits. If she finds a daughter-in-law who is too dutiful, she may suffer a big loss for the second wife and one family.
To say that the Du family is not like the Rongguo Mansion in the past, where the old and the young were disregarded, and the second master of the Du family did not have the intention to compete for the family property.But when Old Master Du was in Beijing, he also became a second-rank official. At that time, when Du's parents and grandchildren talked about their marriage, who didn't think that Old Master Du wanted to go straight to the first rank and even enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister?Therefore, Du Yun, the grandson of Du's parents, was talking about a good family and good relatives.
Du Yun's wife came rushing towards Feng Guanxia, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Du would retire and return to her hometown shortly after entering the door.Now that Tanchun and his wife are in harmony, Du Yuan is full of eyes only for Tanchun, and he is annoyed even by the maid in the room saying a few words to please him, but there are two concubines who look like goblins in his husband's room .Du Yun's wife thought to herself: I am the prostitute daughter in the family of a dignified second-rank official, and Tanchun is a concubine daughter who offended a fifth-rank official. Why is she living more comfortably than herself?I also saw that after Tanchun entered the door, he was honest and responsible, so how could he be as shrewd and powerful as rumored by the outside world?So Du Yun's daughter-in-law gradually disregarded Tanchun.
When Mrs. Du was alive, both sides still kept their dignity.Now the sister-in-law in the big house has just passed the filial piety period, and the servants around her say such things.The servant was very angry, and said: "Grandma used to be so capable. Among the many snobbish masters and servants in our house, which one would dare to chew on grandma's tongue behind her back like this? I said grandma is too good-natured now. "
Tan Chun laughed and said, "You girl, why can't I understand what you're saying? Whoever talks is in charge of his grandma, and it's not the girl in my room who talks. What are you talking about in front of me?"
Hearing Tanchun's words, the servant secretary wished he could stomp his feet up to wake up his own girl. Why is it that the third girl, Rose Flower, is softer and more deceitful than the second girl before she came out of the cabinet?The waiter was only in a hurry, but he didn't pay attention to the reactions of Tan Chunzheng looking at the maids in the room from the corner of his eye.
Sure enough, within a few days, Du Yun's daughter-in-law felt that Tanchun was soft and deceitful, and she didn't take Tanchun seriously.The second master of the Du family and his wife are good people, and they also think that the eldest house should inherit the family business, and they will not fight or grab it. In addition, the second house is not crowded, and the eldest house is bullying the second house even more.Now I heard that Erfang married a daughter-in-law with a backer. The rumors are so powerful, but I didn't expect her to be a face-to-face person who can be manipulated by others.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house secretly rejoiced, after the death of the old lady, such a second house has not been wiped out by himself?However, the eldest wife felt vaguely: This means that this Du Yuan's wife is really not capable at all, but it is said that this Du Yuan's wife has arranged her own dowry very well and made a lot of money.
It turned out that Tanchun had a quick mind, and Jia Huan also developed some shopping vision and skills.After the two brothers and sisters came to the south, in addition to using Jia's mother's ladder to live, after a year or so of observation, they invested the ladder given by Jia Min to buy a property. At that time, the siblings would have income. Later, Xichun also bought a small shop for her with money from her private house.
Later, Mother Jia divided Tiji into five shares, one for Baoyu, one for Tanchun, one for Xichun, and one for Jiahuan, and Yuanchun's share was quietly given to Baochai.Tanchun brought her own dowry with her, plus the makeup added by Jia Min, Mrs. Wu, Daiyu and others, her dowry was quite generous.After Tanchun went through the door, he also threw out these dowry, and the income was also quite a lot.Originally, this matter was kept a secret, but at this moment, how did the Chang Fang find out.
In the room of Mrs. Du's family, the eldest wife dismissed her servants and said to Du Yun's daughter-in-law: "I said, why is Du Yuan's daughter-in-law shaking her head when she asks like that? I know the truth about not revealing money."
Du Yun's daughter-in-law said: "It's a pity that she is still too young, so she is no match for my wife. If she hadn't relied on the Lin family, how could she have such a good source of goods for her to earn so much interest?"
The eldest lady snorted coldly and said, "It's fine if we didn't find out her details. Now that we find out, can't we take the business from her?"
Du Yun's daughter-in-law looked at the eldest wife suspiciously and said, "Please show me your wife."
There was a smile on the corner of the eldest wife's mouth, and she said after a long while: "A merchant pays much attention to profits. The quality of the goods in her hands is so good and the price is so low. How much profit can the merchants who supply her supply get? Let's make a point." It's quite a lot, I'm afraid we can win it over, otherwise it's still a huge profit. Both of us have shops in our dowries, so it would be better for us to snatch the suppliers from her and sell them in our shop. The current products in our shop have higher returns."
Du Yun's daughter-in-law laughed and said: "My wife is very right, but Du Yuan's wife is a young daughter-in-law, and her brother is younger. Where did she get such a source of goods? I'm afraid there is a backing behind, so it's not easy for us to snatch it."
The eldest lady snorted coldly and said: "It's all about being backed by the mountain. The goods of such fineness are only paid at such a price. I'm afraid that people's capital is not enough. What is it not to rely on the Lin family to bully others? Let's negotiate the price with the store and sell the goods. If she is a sensible person, just keep quiet. If she is not sensible, she will be charged with running amok in the village and oppressing the people. It is said that the wise man cherishes his reputation very much, so how could he marry her alone? The female bears the responsibility. Whenever she speaks out, Hou Zhizhi will just push her forward to attack her, and she will not be able to escape."
After hearing this, Du Yun's daughter-in-law took it for granted and called her wife wise.When talking about Tanchun giving us usury money, the eldest wife is a greedy one, she sneered and said: If she dares to do it, we will do it too, we will tie a boat with them on the left and right, and with the support of Mrs. Lin, the boat will not capsize.
As a result, the supply of goods in Tanchun's shop was robbed several times by the eldest wife, and Tanchun also swallowed his anger just as the long room expected.In this way, the long-term mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are more daring.
At this time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house learned from the ear-reporting spirit who stayed in Tanchun's room: Tanchun intends to make a last-ditch effort, and he and his brothers raised money to buy a large sum of money. I'm afraid there will be tens of thousands of benefits.After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have made several orders, their appetites have already grown. How can they let go of such an opportunity?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are afraid of attracting Tanchun's attention, so they dare not use the money from the official to be on the safe side. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put the dowry together, jealous of Tanchun, a concubine, who has such a big capital with the back of the Lin family, and proud of it As long as this order is made, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are far stronger than her.
Sure enough, on this day, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the long house still sent their confidantes to follow Tanchun's shopkeeper to the dock to pick up the goods.When the shopkeeper in the Tanchun shop was about to hand over to the supplier, a peddler popped up from the sideways and insisted on paying a higher price to buy the goods ordered by the shopkeeper in the Tanchun shop.The supplier businessman was in a dilemma, and made repeated apologies to the old customer he had negotiated with before, and finally sold a boatload of Jingdezhen porcelain to the confidant of the eldest wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
That confidant was also careful, checked a few boxes of goods, and found that they were top-grade products without any flaws. He happily signed the deposit, handed over the bank notes, and even prepared the unloading force, and drove them one by one to Mrs. Longfang. The shop under the name of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is lucky.
After the long-term mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked away, Jia Huan came out of the cabin, took a stack of bank notes from the delivery head, and left with a sneer.The cooperating boat boss smiled with daisy-like creases all over his face.
In Du's family room, the eldest wife and daughter-in-law were listening to the ear god buried next to Tanchun saying that Du Yuan's daughter-in-law was so angry.The waiter even wondered if their private business was being targeted by others, otherwise how could they be preempted? The legendary daughter-in-law of Du Yuan is confident that she is keeping it a secret, and she will never let others know.
The ear god said it once, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed once. Du Yun's daughter-in-law could even say that the flowers were trembling, but the ear god and the eldest wife just laughed until their fat trembled.The three of them were smiling smugly, when a confidant maid outside hurriedly said: "Madam, grandma, it's not good."
The eldest wife even scolded the servant girl for becoming more and more unruly, what is worth panicking about.The servant girl was so frightened that her face paled, and when she told the eldest wife the truth, the three people who were so happy at the time were also scared out of their wits.
It turned out that they snatched the boat of porcelain from Tanchun, only the first few boxes were top quality, and the rest were broken pieces of porcelain.In order to maintain the credibility of the porcelain produced by several famous kilns in Jingdezhen, the defective products are smashed and do not flow into the market.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never really done business, but they rely on the ears in Tanchun's house to tell the gods. Whatever Tanchun does, they follow suit. After making money a few times, they become self-righteous. Such a big loss.
When I took out the transaction certificate, it was not the reputable store in the previous few times. This time, it was a group of profiteers. There was no such store in Jinling City, and the scammer had already gone far.Even the reporter has nowhere to report.
The dowry of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, except for the furniture at home, was almost all in this deal.Even the shop farm where the two were originally married, the two also felt that this time they must have made a lot of money, and they mortgaged several of them to raise enough capital to buy this boat of porcelain.
As a result, the long-term mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were tricked into a serious illness, and the creditor who was urging to repay the money came to the door again. The two had to beg for mercy for a few days, and at the same time, they were more bold in lending usury.Use the profits from usury to redeem your own farm shop.
A few months later, the Eldest Master, Eldest Wife, and Tanchun's parents-in-law were also out of their filial piety, so Tanchun dismissed all the rumors in his room, and went to the aunt's room with the certificate of the eldest wife's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. .Only now did the eldest wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know that Tanchun had discovered their activities a long time ago, and the reason why they kept those big people in the house was just to serve as bait to lure them into the bait.It's a pity that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are too late to regret.
Tanchun and the long house mother-in-law and daughter-in-law showed their cards, bluntly saying that you have committed the crime of usury and exploitation. If you sue yourself to the Yamen, you can still get meritorious for exposing and you will not be burdened by the long house in the future.As for Tanchun's giving of money before, it was just that Tanchun deliberately said it to the ear God, and she had never done anything illegal.
The long-lived mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have only known the advantages and disadvantages of Tanchun, and she begged Tanchun softly, saying: "Daughter-in-law Yuan, we are all members of the same family, so the six relatives don't recognize each other."Just pretend you don't know about this, and if we gain profits in the future, we can share it with you.
Tanchun sneered and said: "I am a criminal minister who is willing to take people's lives. I am very cowardly. How dare I bear such interest? I don't participate in the good things of my aunt and sister-in-law, and I pretend I don't know. But If one day there is a thorough investigation by the government, whether it is the whole family or not, my wife and sister-in-law will probably spare me a way."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's faces were burning hot when they heard Tanchun say "after the guilty minister", this Du Yuan's daughter-in-law is really scheming, and she can't bear it for many years.After all, the eldest wife had a better idea than Du Yun's wife, and asked Tanchun, "I don't know what Yuan's daughter-in-law means, how can I give the law this way?"
Tanchun laughed and said, "I'm a straightforward person. If I make a mistake, please take care of my aunt. My uncle is the head of the family, and our family also respects human relations. In order to avoid the business of my aunt and sister-in-law, I have to ask my uncle to take the lead. That’s all. The main house, the sacrificial land, etc. that should be inherited by the long house, we dare not covet. We only give half of the private property of the official house to our second house, which is reasonable and legal. What does Auntie think?"
According to the wishes of the eldest wife and daughter-in-law, it is natural that every penny should be distributed to the second wife, and she also said a few words, how can there be any reason for the old man to separate the family right after his death?Tanchun sneered and said, "I already knew about my aunt's doing these things. If it wasn't for my grandfather's filial piety, I would have come to argue about it. Auntie is really filial, why did she do such a thing before her grandfather's filial piety? Now that the filial piety period has passed, even if the family is separated, no one else can say anything?"
Now that the long house has fallen into Tanchun's hands, and seeing that the conditions offered by Tanchun are reasonable, the eldest wife has no choice but to agree.
As for the two good people, the second master and the second wife, they dared not speak out when they were bullied by their elder brothers and sisters-in-law. They were persuaded by Tanchun a few times, and they agreed.
From then on, the Du family really split up, and when the eldest wife and daughter-in-law were convicted, the second wife was not involved.Tanchun had a son at the age of 21, and later added a daughter.She is filial to her parents-in-law, her husband and wife are harmonious, and both her mother-in-law and her husband love her dearly.Although Du Yuan didn't take the merit test, he has become a great calligrapher of a generation, and his calligraphy is worth a fortune. In addition, Tanchun will take care of it, and Jia Huan will help each other, and his life is very good.
In the process of helping Tanchun and Baochai to purchase properties outside, Jia Huan showed a very high talent for business.After he became a scholar, he failed the exam several times, so he stopped taking the exam.But he managed the property very well and made a lot of money. He supported Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou. Later, he married a wife and became a small employee.
When the eldest aunt's family was convicted, Tanchun shed a tear. In her life, she never thought of harming anyone, but she never allowed others to bully her.
She is Jia Tanchun, who is more intelligent, shrewd and ambitious. She is the third girl who lives a beautiful life under Mrs. Wang's wife in Rongguo Mansion. The wife also gives her three points of face, and the old lady will not do anything to her.She is a red and fragrant rose, if you admire her, she will reward you with fragrance, if you break her, she will reward you with thorns.It's a pity that the uncle, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't understand this truth.
