The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's question, Tang Chao was still a little stunned, although his mind was a little racing at this time.

Even if she thought about marrying Li Shu a girl from a good family, she never expected a girl from the Zhang family.

A girl from the Zhang family, as long as she looks at the Zhang family, she can understand that such a big Buddha cannot be accommodated in an ordinary small temple.

Even if the Zhang family is in trouble now, they still have an aunt in front of the first-rank general's wife, which is not what Xiao Xiao, who has just left his nationality like them, thinks.

Although from now on, she's just a girl.

But the gold content is different.As the saying goes, true gold is not afraid of fire, the prince's illegitimate daughter, no matter how low the mother's status is, she is still an illegitimate daughter with royal blood.What's more, the upbringing you have received is also integrated into the bone marrow.

Zhang's daughter, after all, Zhang's daughter.

Therefore, even if Li Shu is a scholar at a young age, he is just a poor scholar with a few acres of Susukida.

It's not that she underestimates herself, the thin camel is bigger than the horse, these two people really don't match well.

There is a sense of déjà vu that Jia Qiao is married to Wang Baner.

"You don't want to?" After a while, Mrs. Zhang looked at Tang Chao's face which was constantly changing.Squinting his eyes, he fixedly looked at Tang Chao and asked.

Tang Chao looked up at her, "Madam willing? Don't you feel wronged? That's a girl from your Zhang family, uh, girl!"

Mrs. Zhang smiled sadly, "There is no Zhang family in this world. Up to now, there is nothing I don't want to do. It's just a girl who prostitutes herself." Nine girl's life is both good and bad.

To say that she is good is to take a life after all.Perhaps there is only such a root left in the Zhang family.

It's hard to say, but it's this fate. She has become a slave who sells herself from a high-ranking daughter of aristocratic family.From the edge of the cloud into the mud.

Fortunately, he is not an official slave, so he is not afraid of harming his descendants.I just want to marry a good family again, but I can no longer.What's more, who would dare to marry her daughter from the Zhang family?

And after walking in the prison, his reputation has long since disappeared.What's more, her only niece can no longer marry as Zhang's daughter.

No matter how much dowry is given, the status is already doomed.

After thinking about it, only Li Shu, the younger brother-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, looked pretty good.In addition, he is already a talent at a young age.Maybe it will be better in the future.

With the friendship between my own family and the Tang Dynasty's family, if I want to marry in the past, there will be no difference.Even if Li Shu could only pass the Juren examination in the future, it would be a big deal to help him make up an official in advance, and her niece would be able to live better.

Another one, my brother is honest.Sister-in-law Tang Chao seems to be a formidable one.But there is nothing bad about it.It was she who watched him grow up again.Even after thinking about it, she couldn't be harsh on her niece.

Thinking about it this way, it turned out to be a good way out for Li Shu.

What she is more worried about now is the married girls of the Zhang family.If something like this happened to Zhang's family, those girls might be tortured in the husband's house.

There are too many things that involve the tragic death of a married woman and her husband's family because of the suffering of her natal family.Mrs. Zhang was still thinking about whether to let her second son walk from house to house with some gifts.With the support of the Rongguo Mansion, he could live a better life if he wanted to.

Mrs. Zhang is well aware of the tenacity in Zhang's daughter's bones.Just give them a little hope, a little light.They can move on with their lives.I'm afraid, no one will give them this little light.

Zhang's premonition came true. As soon as the court's report was sent to the prefectures and counties, some of the Zhang family's aunts and grandmothers were in trouble.

Attachment to rebellion is not a small crime, and now the prince is still in Ping'an Prefecture, no one knows whether such a disaster will be implicated in his family.It turned out that Zhang's daughter was so popular and loved, but now she is disgusted.

It's just that the court has a law that stipulates that a woman who has no relatives in her natal family cannot be abandoned by her husband's family.Therefore, the husbands of Zhang's daughters thought of other ways.

There are a total of eleven girls in the Zhang family.Except for Miss Zhang Jiu who became a 'girl Yunji'.A total of four were married.These four girls from the Zhang family all got married before and after, but only one girl gave birth, and the others were all married for a short time and had nothing to give birth to yet.The people they marry are almost all officials and eunuchs.Although the husband's family's official career and family business are big or small, their fate is almost the same.

One of them got a 'sudden illness' within three to five days after learning about Zhang's family.The other two were sent to the family temple, one of them was doing well, after all, this was the one with the child left behind.And the other one 'disappeared' in the family temple for no reason, and everyone knew it well, so it's not a strange thing.

But there was only one girl from the Zhang family who was not implicated by the Zhang family's affairs at all.The reason why that person survived was thanks to Jia Min.After Jia Min knew what happened to Zhang's family, she thought of how sad her sister-in-law should be.

While sending someone to the capital to say hello, he remembered that when he corresponded with his sister-in-law a few times ago, he knew that one of his sister-in-law's nieces had married to Gusu.He quickly sent his confidants and the housekeeper of Lin's house to visit Lin Hai's house with a name sticker.

If you don't know that Zhang's daughter is married here, it's okay to say, but since Jia Min knows, she can't just say nothing.Otherwise, I would be sorry for the friendship between her and her sister-in-law.

This family already wanted to give up Zhang's daughter, but because Jia Min thought of the friendship between his eldest sister-in-law, Zhang, and specially supported her niece, they stayed in her husband's house.

It's just that the face of her husband's family made Zhang's daughter feel chilled when she saw it.As soon as something happened to her family, she and her dowry were locked up and placed under house arrest in an old courtyard.The humiliation of being dragged out of the room, the indifference of her husband, and the harshness of her mother-in-law, Zhang's daughter will remember Lao Lao all her life.So when the weather calmed down in the future, with the help of Jia Min, she left the house with her dowry and her husband.

After Jia Lian went back, she told Zhang Shi one by one, and Zhang Shi was even more grateful for Jia Min's generous donation. Later, after Daiyu's sister and brother entered the house, they took good care of them and helped them grow up.

And Jia Min and Lin Ruhai have been protecting this girl from the Zhang family during their lifetime, but after Jia Min and Lin Ruhai passed away one after another, the girl from the Zhang family came to the door in person regardless of what others said, and tried her best to take care of Jia Min's funeral. If you reap melons, you will reap beans.

It is human nature to seek profit and avoid disaster.But it was like this before the catastrophe came, and it was really chilling.When Tang Chao knew about this, he just sighed, "Every time there are more dogs slaughtered in righteousness, most of them are scholars who are ungrateful."But these are for later, so I won't mention them at this time.

At this time, Tang Chao was still thinking about this marriage that fell from the sky.It is said that the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. After getting along for so many years, Li Shu respects himself like a mother, and the same is true for his old mother.At this time, this marriage seems to have many shortcomings.But marry a daughter-in-law and marry a virtuous person.Li Shu married a daughter-in-law who was born in this way, which would be of great help to their Li family.

Not to mention how close Mrs. Zhang will be to her family, but in terms of the upbringing of her children and grandchildren in the future, she will be several times stronger than others.If she gets married and comes back, her family's Li Ning can directly benefit from it.

If Li Shu can go further in the future and become an official, it will be a blessing to have a wife with extraordinary vision.

Therefore, Tang Chao couldn't find this marriage even with a lantern, so how could he push it out.

Others are afraid that if this girl's identity is leaked, it will hurt her family.But they didn't even think about it, the one who was most afraid of the girl revealing her identity was Mrs. Zhang.After all, everyone has a big business and can't afford to gamble.So there's nothing to worry about.

"What kind of girl is not a girl. There is no ups and downs in anyone's life. Besides, we are ordinary people. If you can marry a good girl, you have to burn the incense. His brother married me because of the accumulation of their old Li's previous life. What a blessing, this time marrying someone who is dozens of times better than me, wouldn't it be a good thing that fell from the sky?" Having said this, Tang Chao paused, and then continued, "My wife also knows about our family's situation. Yes. Although I have some money, it is just a living. The past two years have been tight, and I have earned a house for my brother-in-law and a few acres of medium-sized fields. I don’t think there will be any major problems in life. .But the rich days may not be the same as before."

From the point of view of Tang Chao, although the Zhang family may not be as fond of luxury as the Jia family, the quality of those little days is still high.Their family is an ordinary family, and there is not even a rough woman in the family, let alone someone who waits on young ladies.

This girl from the Zhang family married into their family, but she also had to work.If she and her mother were expected to serve her, then she would not invite such ancestors to her family.

Of course, Zhang's face and kindness are also there.And there were practical advantages in marrying this girl.Big deal, just let Li Shu take his wife to the newly bought house and settle down.

Anyway, when the brothers grow up and start a family, it is normal for them to live separately.

Mrs. Zhang was relieved to hear Tang Chao's reply without hesitation. "Since I said this, I naturally know what's going on in your family. I won't say much else. No matter what's going on inside, she's just a girl who has been redeemed from now on. Marry a chicken as a chicken, and marry a dog as you want." Dog. Since I promised your family, I want to live with you. However, that girl’s family has just suffered a disaster, and she must be made to keep her filial piety for three years. I don’t know what your family thinks."

"It should be so. Our family doesn't have any ideas. And after a while, there will be another provincial examination. It just happens to let my uncle work harder. If he wins the Juren in one fell swoop and has a ranking, the marriage will look better." Anyway, the girl was still young, so Li Shu was not in a hurry.Wait three years, nothing.

Another one, if Li Shu passed the test.For a young man to marry a young lady from a poor family, he is not worthy, not worthy.

You know, when the Jia family Xu Jiamin gave it to the Lin family, Lin Ruhai was just a juror at that time.Although the Lin family is an aristocratic family, in Lin Ruhai's generation there is no title.

After careful calculation, it's just a family of scholars with some background.

"Well, I feel relieved when you say that. I know that your family is not rich. When you leave in a while, I will bring back the money for buying the girl. When the government starts selling it, I will ask your family to come forward. gone."

"To tell you the truth, my family really can't afford too much money at the moment. I'll just accept the money. However, we don't know that girl, so what if we buy the wrong one?"

Before the beginning of spring, they bought some more land, and bought a small house near their new house.You know she has two sons now.In the future, when we grow up, we will always have to separate.She can't let her youngest son's family be separated, and there is no ready-made house to live in.

It's just that, before the autumn harvest, there will be less than 80 taels of silver left in the family.It would be better if the small house was rented out.But now there is no one who rents a house.

As for the daughter's dowry in the future, Tang Chao has already thought about it. In addition to giving the land, he also needs to give a shop with a backyard.Women can't go out to earn money by themselves, whether the dowry can make money is very important.

"It's okay, I'll make my own arrangements then." After saying that, he didn't let anyone in, got up and went to the inner room, took 2000 taels of silver bills from a small box and walked out.

Tang Chao took it and was taken aback. "So much?" 200 mu of land?It takes so much money to buy a girl, and a small family does not have so much dowry to marry a girl.

"You don't understand, all the girls and women sold by big families are the favorites of people with human teeth and dirty places. It doesn't matter to these people, there are also some passing businessmen. Those people are used to taking money to oppress others Yes. At that time, the one with the highest price may get it. You take it and be prepared. If there is less, I will give it to you. If there is any leftover, you can keep it."

At that time, they didn't need so much, but Mrs. Zhang still remembered buying a house before the Tang Dynasty, and it was just an excuse to make up for the small family that was about to be imported.

"Well, I understand. Madam, don't worry. This is my brother and sister's business, and it is my family's top priority. I will live up to my wife's entrustment." Tang Chao thought for a while, and if there is any money left, he will give it all Let that girl stay.A woman can't have money in her hands, and it's easy to panic if she doesn't have money.

Uh, still get some for her old lady.There is an extra mouth to eat in the family, and she is still an outsider. If her old mother is unhappy and loses face, that girl will not be easy to stay.

After discussing some details that day, Tang Chao went back, and when he saw Li Shu at night, he told the truth.

Li Shu thought about it, and felt that this marriage was a good one.He is clear about the tutor of the Zhang family.When Jia Lian followed Jia Lian to the Zhang family school, the servants and masters of the Zhang family felt well-behaved and well-educated, without the arrogance and extravagance of those aristocratic families.

Especially when the members of the Zhang family knew that he was also a commoner student, although their attitude towards him was not as good as Jia Lian, the cousin of the Zhang family, they respected him a lot.

At this time, the Zhang family was in trouble, and he should have helped when he could.Now it's time to use him, so how could he not help.It's just, "Sister-in-law, are you taking advantage of the fire?"

When Tang Chao heard it, he didn't feel bad. "This marriage was proposed by the eldest lady herself. It's not what we want. Another thing, you have reached the age of marriage. Originally, your aunt and I have been looking after you for the past two years. If it weren't for the Zhang family We have encountered difficulties, we can't marry a girl raised like this. You are also a scholar now. When you pass the provincial examination in the future, you will be a candidate. Listen to me," Tang Chao saw that Li Shu was about to speak, He quickly waved his hand to let him stop talking.

"Are you trying to say that you are not sure whether kinke will be on the list, are you?"

Li Shu nodded. That's true. The imperial examination is like entering a single-plank bridge. There are thousands of choices.How could it be possible to be sure.

"It is said that '30 old Mingjing, 50 young Jinshi', how old are you this year, even if you can't pass this subject, isn't there a next subject, and the next subject? Could it be that you will never pass the exam in your whole life? Even if it is true If this is the case, it will be after the age of 40 or [-]. If you don't have confidence now, what else is there to take?"

"Sister-in-law knows that's not what I meant." Li Shu was absolutely sure about his own examination.But people have blunders, and horses have blunders.He really wasn't sure that one hit would hit him.

"Of course I know, otherwise the big soles of your shoes will blow you away. I haven't given me the test yet, so you just say such discouraged things to me. Come on, that's all for now. If you don't have any comments, you will come back with me in two days." Go and bring that girl back. After we get married, the household registration and so on will be left to our family. Also, you go and chop all the firewood. It will save you from thinking about things when you have nothing to do. People say great kindness in dramas No thanks, only a promise with your body. Now is the time for you to repay your kindness, why are you so shy about it. You are a young man, like a girl."

Li Shu: "...", isn't physical promises all women's things?When can it be used by men.Also, sister-in-law, isn't the firewood in our family chopped when it is delivered from Zhuangzi?

"Oh, by the way, don't tell your aunt the identity of that girl. Your aunt can't bear to be scared."

"Isn't the aunt surprised that there is an extra person in the family? What will I say then?"

Tang Chao glanced at Li Shu, "I think you've already read and studied. The reason is of course ready-made. It is said that this girl is the granddaughter of the eldest wife's nanny. Zhang's family suffered a disaster, so they sold it together."

"Nurse of the eldest wife, why do I remember that Third Master Cong died before he was born?"

"That's why I kept such a granddaughter." She didn't care about anything.

After dismissing Li Shu, Tang Chao went back to the house to find the clothes she was wearing before.Because after getting married, she conceived a child, and after the child was born, her figure became a little bit blessed.Some of the nice clothes I wore when I was a girl are no longer available.At this moment, it is just right for Zhang Yunji to wear it.

First, I found all the plain clothes and packed a bag.I also found a bag of brightly colored clothes.Thinking about wearing these clothes on the body, it will be three years later, if Mrs. Zhang had prepared clothes for that girl at that time, colorful ones, she would not give them to her.Anyway, she won't be able to wear it for three years.When the time comes, if you don't have it for a while, then give it to her.

After they were all busy, Tang Chao remembered that it was getting late.She hasn't made dinner yet.Dang even changed his clothes and hurried to the kitchen.

"Hey, how did you start cooking? Didn't you ask you to chop wood?"

Li Shu mixed the pickled cucumber that Tang Chao usually loved with chili oil, then smiled helplessly and said to his sister-in-law: "When the firewood was delivered, it had already been chopped. It's getting late, and the aunt is coming back soon, so I thought about cooking the meal first."

His sister-in-law is also true. Since she remembered to ask him to chop firewood, why didn't she remember that the firewood in their family had been chopped long ago?

"I don't know where Ah Jue has gone. I haven't come back yet." Today, Wang's family has a big funeral, and classes in the small study have been suspended.

"My sister-in-law probably forgot. She got up early and changed her clothes, and went out with the old man. I heard that the mansion sent several people out. I guess they will be back soon." Originally, Li Shu was also going.But there happened to be a book that I didn't finish, so I read it with Jia Zhu.Unexpectedly, the second wife went.He is not considered an outsider, so he followed along.

"Really, if you don't go out early or late, why did you go out today? It's a good thing that Master Zhu stayed in the mansion, otherwise, what's the point?"

"Who knows, I went hunting in such a hot day. The second master Lian and the third master Cong also followed. If you get sunburned when you come back, the old lady will be angry again." This old man can make troubles, but maybe he just After such a toss, the big brother's body is stronger than the second room's uncle Zhu.

The second master always said that hunting and martial arts is an insult to gentleness.Every time the Elder Master took him out, the Second Master was reluctant to let Jia Zhu go with him. As time went on, Jia Amnesty would not take this nephew out to play very often.

Jia Amnesty scoffed at his brother's disgraceful remarks.Jia's family started out with military merits, and his second child is just a guy who has read a few books of "Zhi Ye", so he doesn't know his surname.

So no matter what Jia Zheng said, Jia Amnesty looked down on him impatiently, and still did whatever he wanted.Who cares about that mallet.

It's just that every time after going out, the old lady Shi Shi will be very angry when she sees her grandson sunburned and tanned, and then she won't show the old man a good face for several days.

Of course, at this time, Mrs. Zhang would take the initiative to stand behind her mother-in-law, expressing her silent support without saying anything.But no one knows who he supports in his heart.

Tang Chao shook his head, "I guess it's really sunburned, and I can't take care of their third son. The second wife's funeral is still busy. By the way, have you seen the Wang family today?"

"I didn't see any other than the benevolent brother of the Wang family. I think the second master entertained me." As for the female relatives, Li Shu didn't even know.

Tang Chao nodded, wondering whether Jia Zhu's marriage would be as the second wife expected.

Jia Zhu's temperament is a bit honest, Jia Baoyu is still so young, if Sister Feng is really married, with Sister Feng's temperament, she can indeed support her life.

I just don't know where Sister Feng called Jia Zhu, and where to find Jia Lian's future daughter-in-law.

I don't know how good the feng shui of this Jia family is, and it has become a place where these fairies have gone through many calamities.I don't know what criteria the Jinghuan was selected by.

Weird, weird.

"If there is nothing to do tomorrow, I will go to the mansion to pay homage to the second wife. You can stay at home. Brother Jing is a big sleeper. Once he falls asleep, he won't wake up for a long time. I don't worry about the eldest sister. Just watch it .And, you too. The second wife didn't have such a big event, so I didn't know how to go home and give a letter first. When I went to see the first wife, fortunately, I didn't wear colorful clothes. Otherwise, it would be bad."

Although the girl is not young anymore, Tang Chao is still worried about letting Li Ning look at her younger brother.Although in ancient times, this age could be used to do some work, but in the feeling of the Tang Dynasty, this age has not yet entered elementary school.

Also, no one came to their house to chat with her all day, otherwise she would not have known that the second wife had gone.It was only when she entered the mansion that she heard about it from the gatekeeper's mother-in-law at the corner gate.

Just like that, he quickly put all the gold jewelry on his body into his sleeves.

Alas, good people, just go like this.It is also overwhelming.The second wife who forced Qingwen away like that in the red building is gone. When I think about it, I have a feeling that the big monster is killed in seconds when playing games to fight monsters.

The author has something to say: During the Chinese New Year, I bumped into someone while driving, and I lost my mind.That person has nothing to do, just can't get it together. He called yesterday and said he had a back pain, but he called today and they said he was out of town.People don't look like bad guys either.But I can't tell the truth, I'm really anxious, after so many days, the car is still detained by the traffic police.

If you have any requirements, just say it, and I admit that I am fully responsible.I also said that if you do not agree to a settlement, you can report to the insurance company after filing the case. No matter how the insurance company pays, it depends on the insurance company.If it is a settlement, I am also willing to pay medical expenses and scare expenses.But often when I called, he wouldn't let me finish my sentence.Really angry.

On the one hand, he told me that there is no need to file a case for the settlement, but on the other hand, he was busy, busy, busy.

My ears can't hear clearly.

I'm going to work soon, when will this matter come to an end!
