The oil bottle of the Red Chamber

Not long after Jia Zhu's funeral was over, Third Sister You learned from You Shi that Sister Feng had a miscarriage.It is said that it is because of being too busy with housework every day, and too much work.

Because of Sister Feng's miscarriage, Jia Lian complained more or less.Every time I had a chat with Jia Zhen over wine, I couldn't help but say: "...as soon as I entered the door, I dismissed the people in my room. I don't care about her. Now she can't even keep her own body. I just know that I want to fight for victory... ...I did it all by myself. If so, the old lady and the second aunt still love her. Don't let me complain in front of her. I don't know who loves me..."

Jia Zhen said with a smile while drinking, "according to me, girl Feng is relying on the fact that the two of you are in love and have known each other since childhood. That's why you did this. If you change to another house, the new daughter-in-law enters the door. I can't establish the rules. How dare you make such a moth. I think now is an opportunity. Taking advantage of her poor health and unable to serve you, ask her to choose two people to come up immediately. You are the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion Sun, there's no one serving in the room, what's the matter? It doesn't look like it to outsiders, and they all joke behind their backs that brother Lian is a weak husband."

Jia Lian was originally full of grievances, but now he listened to Jia Zhen's instigation, and he became more and more convinced.Taking advantage of the strength of the wine, after going home, there was a lot of prestige.And he made a fuss in front of Jiamu, only saying that Sister Feng was jealous and committed seven crimes.

Jia Mu and others were amused, so they had to persuade Jia Lian once.However, because Sister Feng didn't know the seriousness, and she was so tired of the housekeeper that the fetus was not safe, Jia's mother, Jia Shexing, and Mrs. Xing had a grudge against Sister Feng.

Seeing this, Sister Feng was aggrieved and angry at the same time.Moreover, he was short of breath and dared not be tough with Jia Lian, so he had to pick two of his dowry maids to serve Jia Lian.

Jia Lian just gave up.

When You Shi heard the news, he couldn't help being angry and funny.Behind everyone's back, he said to Jia Zhen: "The young couples are fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, so why are you joining in the fun? Carefully, girl Feng will spit on you if she finds out."

Jia Zhen sneered when she heard this, and said casually: "You have to let the daughters of the Wang family know that the men of our Jia family are not easy to handle."

After all, Jia Rong's marriage was mentioned again.

After the new year, Jia Rong will be 16 years old, and she has reached the age to talk about marriage.As the eldest grandson of Ningguo Mansion and the only son, Jia Rong's status is naturally noble.This kind of marriage requires thousands of choices.

As Jia Rong's stepmother, You Shi had already been paying attention secretly.Every time I go to a banquet to socialize, I secretly inquire about the appearance and temperament of the noble ladies of various families.He wanted to pick a character with all four corners for Jia Rong.

However, what You Shi didn't expect was that Jia Zhen didn't pay attention to the girls she had carefully selected, and instead proposed a girl You Shi had never heard of before.

"The adopted daughter of Yingshulang Qinye?" Youshi asked incredulously: "Who is this Qinye? She is just the daughter of a mere fifth-rank Yingshulang, not her own daughter. Comparing? Could it be that the master is in a daze, how could he choose such a wife for Rong'er."

Youshi was so frightened for a moment that he almost couldn't choose what to say.

Jia Zhen frowned unexpectedly, and said immediately: "My Madam doesn't know, it's because Miss Qin is Qin Ye's adopted daughter. I choose her as Rong'er's daughter-in-law. This is also for the future of Rong'er... "

Jia Zhen didn't wait for You Shi to speak, and asked again: "Madam, do you know what is the background of Miss Qin?"

Hearing this, Youshi smiled instead of anger, "I don't even know her, so how can I know her life experience? Could it be that she is still a fairy daughter from the sky and can't make it down to earth? In a word, I don't agree to this matter. Outsiders don't know the details, but they suspect that my stepmother doesn't like Rong'er, so I never put my heart into his marriage."

Seeing Youshi's earnest expression of anger, Jia Zhen said to herself, "What you said just now is not bad. Although this Miss Qin is not a fairy daughter from heaven, she is almost the same."

After finishing speaking, he waved and smiled at Youshi and said, "Come here with your ear, and I'll tell you."

Youshi originally didn't intend to pay attention to Jia Zhen's mystification.Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen leaned over and whispered a few words, and You Shi couldn't help being startled and terrified, and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?"

Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Why not?"

Youshi said again: "But how is this possible? How could a dignified... daughter be reduced to such a situation. She was carried back from the Yangshengtang? Did the clerk, Qin Ye, know about this?"

Jia Zhen smiled complacently, crossed her legs and said, "It doesn't matter whether he knows or not. As long as we know, it will be fine."

After finishing speaking, he instructed Youshi again: "I've made it clear to you. You should prepare as soon as possible, and order someone to go to the Qin family to propose marriage."

Hearing this, Youshi hesitated again.After thinking for a while, Yin said: "We must first look at the character of that girl? Even if it is that girl's daughter, she is not raised by her side seriously, and she doesn't even have a status. As Rong'er, we, Even a real princess can afford to marry. Why do you have to compromise so much?"

Jia Zhen never thought that Youshi would think so after hearing what he said.He couldn't help frowning and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

You Shi then said: "The old saying is good, if the name is not right, the words will not be right... Let me go to my house for a while, tell my mother about it, and then beg my mother to go to my uncle for verification. Okay...you should let that one know."

When Jia Zhen heard the words, she also felt that Youshi's words were reasonable, so she said with a smile: "Madam is still more thoughtful. If that's the case, I will ask Madam to have a hard time."

You Shi heard the words, but smiled and said nothing.

For a while, Jia Zhen took Uncle Jin Xiang's post and went to his house to have a drink and listen to a play.You Shi ordered his servants to prepare a car and return to her natal home.

At that time, Chen's mother and daughter were all talking with the old lady in the upper room, and discussing the matter of asking a husband to enlighten Brother Bao.

Hearing that You's family was coming, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.When Mrs. You entered the door, Mrs. Chen asked, "It's not too early or too late. Why are you here alone?"

You Shi laughed and said, "Of course I miss the old lady and the wife, so I came to have a look."

After finishing speaking, he ordered Yin Ping'er to come forward with a tray, and said with a smile: "This is a few pieces of Shu brocade newly sent by the Zhen family in Jiangnan. I saw that the pattern was good, so I brought a few pieces and gave them to the old ladies. My sisters make clothes and wear them."

The silk brocade in Jiangnan is naturally excellent, not to mention that most of the things that the Zhen family gave away were advanced things.It is very popular among the female relatives of the imperial court in Beijing.

The old lady You looked at the things in Yin Ping'er's hand, smiled and ordered Jixiang to take it.And asked again: "The Zhen family in Jiangnan has a good relationship with your family. They keep sending things to and from all year round. It can be seen that they are really close."

Youshi smiled slightly, and said: "They are all old relatives passed down from the ancestors. It hasn't been broken all these years. Last year, the daughter of the Zhen family entered the palace election, and she went to Rongfu to visit the old lady. Really close."

When it comes to Rongfu, everyone can't help but think of Sister Feng's miscarriage.Old Madam You asked worriedly: "How do you feel now? I have taken a few doses of the body-regulating medicine, why is there still no movement? You can also have some snacks, and now Grandma Zhu of the Rong Mansion Yes, there is Lian's second grandma who came in later. Only you are silent, but luckily you don't have a serious mother-in-law in Ning Mansion to hold you down. Otherwise, what would you do?"

Youshi was also in a hurry, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but say, "I can't help it. The imperial doctor asked me to take medicine, and I took it too. I just can't get pregnant, what can I do?"

Seeing this, Mrs. You had no choice but to say: "Why don't we go outside to worship the Bodhisattva? Didn't the incense in some temples be very spiritual..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Chen thought about Mrs. You's words, and said with a smile: "They are still young couples, so there is no need to do this. It's better to let nature take its course. Besides, the fate of children is predestined. She will come when it's time to come. In fact, it's not necessarily a good thing that the eldest girl is silent at the moment. She is a daughter-in-law and a stepmother who came in late, so it's not easy to do. Brother Rong of Ningfu is now 16 years old. etc. He got married and started a business and had a child, so he also knew the most difficult thing in the world to be a parent. When the eldest girl conceives a brother, she will have a lifelong support, and she can also ask Rong to take care of her younger brother. Isn't that great? "

Old Madam You and You Shi can naturally hear the comforting meaning of Chen Shi's words.Mrs. You didn't think so, but Mrs. You was grateful.

We talked and laughed with the old lady in the upper room again, and saw that the old lady was tired.Only then did he get up and leave.

Mrs. You followed Mrs. Chen back to the main courtyard, Mrs. Chen asked, "You haven't said, why are you here today?"

You Shi then said: "There is one thing that concerns Rong'er's life. I can't make up my mind. I want to ask my mother and sister to help me find out."

As Youshi spoke, he told the truth about Jia Zhen's intention to marry Qin Ye's adopted daughter for Jia Rong.

As soon as she said this, others could do it, but the first sister You San felt uncomfortable.Without waiting for others to speak, he immediately said: "This marriage is not good. It must not be allowed."

Everyone was startled.Knowing that Third Sister You was always well-informed, Mrs. You quickly asked, "What do you say? Does my sister know why?"

In front of everyone, how can Third Sister You tell You Shi that after your daughter-in-law comes in, it is easy to get confused with her father-in-law?

I could only falter and say: "I haven't met that Miss Qin, so I don't know why. I just feel that this matter is too difficult. If you are not careful, it is easy to burn yourself. Brother-in-law just wants to use this A marriage clings to a nobleman. But I never thought about why the girl was so well behaved, why she fell into such a situation. If someone with a heart made her like this, is that person with a heart still by your side now? But you still have to respect and trust her? Brother-in-law has no chance There is no reason to choose such a girl from a poor family background as a wife for Rong'er. Outsiders don't know the details, what will they think and say? If that interested person finds out, will they think that the Ningguo Mansion deliberately opposes her? As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized , if such confidential and scandalous matters are really brought out, will that nobleman feel ashamed? Will he really accept Ningfu's favor?"
