Jia Zhu, the White Magic God of the Red Chamber

Chapter 40

It is also the day of begging for cleverness on the seventh day of the seventh month.

Rongning Street has been particularly lively since the early morning. Today is the day when Jia Lian, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, married the queen Xifeng of the Wang family.

Ya'erlin Yifang moved out of Rongguo Mansion on the ninth day of August.But before that, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had already moved out from the courtyard behind Rongxi Hall, and temporarily lived in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard where Jia Daishan rested in his later years.This Pear Fragrance Court has a single door leading to the outside of the mansion, which is convenient for the second room to prepare for the relocation.

Ya'erlin and Li Wan still lived in their yard.Jia Zheng and his wife moved out probably because the main courtyard was occupied by the head of the house, but Yaerlin and his wife didn't have such trouble, they didn't have to move the courtyard twice in a short period of time.

As for Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu, they still followed Jia Shishi.

After the two families separated, Jia Shishi proposed to let Jia Baoyu stay and let her continue to educate.Jia She has nothing to do with this, but he is just a nephew, and he can't afford to take care of him.The officials unexpectedly had so much money, it was rare for him to change his views on Jia Zheng and his wife.I am willing to give more to Jia Baoyu, a nephew who is carved with jade.

Besides, if Jia Baoyu's expenses exceeded the quota, it was Jia Shishi's own body. Even though the family had been separated, Jia Amnesty knew that most of his mother's body would be reserved for the second wife.He also has the dowry left by his grandmother, so he doesn't envy Jia Shishi.

But Jia Amnesty agreed, but Mrs. Wang was unwilling.After finally being able to educate Jia Baoyu herself, how could she let him continue to be spoiled by the old lady.The old lady is really good at raising girls. Whether it is Jia Min, whom she dislikes no matter what, or the current Jia Yuanchun, they can all be regarded as outstanding ladies in the capital.

But what about Jia Zheng raised by the old lady?It's just a "fake prudence" who claims to be a scholar!

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to be thankful that when Jia Zhu was born, Jia Hu of the eldest room was raised in front of the old lady, so she didn't hug Jia Zhu.Later, Jia Hu disappeared, and Jia Zhu was about to move to the outer courtyard.As for Jia Lian, although she was raised by the old lady in name, she was actually by her second aunt's side more.Otherwise, while raising Jia Lian, how could the old lady have the energy to educate Jia Yuanchun.

Fortunately, the husband and wife relationship between Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng is nothing more than respecting each other as guests, but such a pedantic scholar like Jia Zheng still respects her as his first wife.After listening to her tactful persuasion, and knowing from Ya'erlin that it was the saint's intention to move out the entire second room, he could only spend a lot of time persuading Jia Shishi.

For Erfang's family, including the precious grandson who has made him feel that he has great fortune since birth, Jia Shishi is reluctant to part with them.But after all, she is not really the kind of old lady who only cares about the back house. After Jia Daishan's death, she is the old lady who decides many matters about the court in the Jia family.

The matter is a foregone conclusion, apart from thinking about those who are self-supporting to subsidize her precious grandson, and letting her arrange people to follow her grandson to the Zhenshenggong Mansion, she is busy trying to win over the big house.In the past, Jia Yingchun, the concubine of the big house, was just a playmate she raised for Jia Baoyu, usually nurses and maids were in charge, she just wanted to say a few words.

It's different now. Although Jia Yingchun is a concubine, she is the only daughter of Dafang's generation.Although it is unlikely that the concubine's daughter of a first-class general will marry the son of a first- and second-rank official's family, it is enough to marry a third- and fourth-rank official.If Yingchun was recorded under Mrs. Xing's name, then the status would be even worse.

In the future, he will rely more on the old lady of the first room, and plans to talk to Jia Amnesty about Jia Yingchun's concubine after the second room moves out.

Apart from Jia Yingchun, what makes Jia Shishi more loving is Jia Lian's marriage.Jia Lian's marriage was decided by her and Mrs. Wang together, and Wang Xifeng can be regarded as the girl that Jia Shishi grew up watching.Jia Shishi likes girls who are bright and lively, and those who are too chaste and virtuous like Li Wan don't like her.

Wang Xifeng is good, she can speak, and has a lively and straightforward personality. She is a good candidate for grandson's wife.In addition, Wang Xifeng is devoted to being good to Mrs. Wang, so even if she comes in, she doesn't have to worry about the eldest room suppressing the second room.

Now, the second room is about to move out, and Wang Xifeng will become the head wife of Rongguo Mansion when she comes in.Mrs. Xing was born in a small family and only knew how to deduct money, so she was really not in the public eye.Even now that the two households have separated, Prime Minister Jia Shishi is still in charge of the family affairs, and occasionally the two wives of Xing Wang help to take care of it.

No matter what Jia Shishi's plans are or what Mrs. Xing's dissatisfaction is, Jia Amnesty is very satisfied.Lived in the Rongxi Hall that had been sealed long ago, and became the master of the Rongguo Mansion. His son also donated a fifth-rank official position and was about to marry a wife.

Before long, he will be able to hug his grandson.

Besides, the annoying second child's family will move out next month, life is so beautiful.

Jia Amnesty, sitting on the main seat, accepted the newcomer's bow with a smile on his face.The corner of his eyes glanced at Yaerlin who was helping to entertain the guests not far away, and the smile on his face deepened.

Even though this nephew suppressed his son in studies since he was a child, he was named as the eldest grandson of Huer's Rongguo Mansion.But he had to say that his nephew was really a good one.If it wasn't for his good nephew to be granted a title, he would not be able to become the real ruler of Rongguo Mansion even if he died.

This is very good now, although compared to the second room and their eldest room, the eldest room has declined, and the rise may be on the children of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.But—Master Jia She, who has no ambitions, is very satisfied with this.

Wang Xifeng quickly adapted to her new life as a daughter-in-law.Rongguo Mansion was no stranger to her. After returning home in three dynasties, Jia Shishi even handed over all the affairs of the mansion to her, not missing a single account book, storehouse key or pair of cards.Coupled with Jia Lian's childhood sweetheart, the newlyweds have a deep relationship, and they are like ducks in water in Rongguo Mansion.

Mrs. Wang is very grateful for this.As for Wang Xifeng, it would be a lie to say that she has no love at all.But putting Wang Xifeng and her three children on the same scale, which one is more important doesn't need to think about it.

At the beginning, she followed Jia Shishi's suggestion to go to the Wang family as a matchmaker, because she wanted Dafang to have another daughter-in-law who was devoted to her.In any case, it is not a legitimate thing for her, the second wife, to manage the Rongguo Mansion.After Wang Xifeng entered the door, she could point out those thankless butler errands to Wang Xifeng, the key is still in her hands, which means that the Rongguo Mansion is still in her hands.

But now, all these arrangements are unnecessary.

Seeing the harmony between Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, Mrs. Wang was also very satisfied.After all, Wang Xifeng is her natal niece. If possible, she also hopes that her life will be smooth and healthy.

Whether it's the dull-hearted woman in the past, or the current woman who let go of everything and is tolerant and open-minded, it's all her.If she could, she would be willing to be the housekeeper's wife that everyone respects from the bottom of her heart, but she was so kind before, and she couldn't support this family at all.

Jia Zheng is useless, and the entire Second Household can only rely on her as his wife.

It's all right now, with Jia Zhu, she really doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Mrs. Wang made a good plan. After moving to Zhenshenggong's mansion, Zhu's daughter-in-law Li Wan will be in charge of housekeeping, and she will educate Jia Baoyu well.If Jia Lan's place is too busy for Li Wan, he can temporarily put Jia Lan with her when he is the housekeeper.

After all, the difference between Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan's uncle and nephew is only one year, so there is nothing wrong with raising them together.

Mrs. Wang happily planned her future life, and arranged for her servants to pack and pack their luggage by the way, but she never expected that Yaerlin would ask her for something at this time.

"What, Zhu'er, do you mean we don't bring any servants with us?!" Mrs. Wang looked at Ya'erlin in surprise.

"Mother, you know very well the virtues of these servants in the mansion." Ya'erlin sneered, "Instead of taking these ancestors back, it's better not to let them go." Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to speak, he continued, "What's more, among these people , it might be someone's eyeliner. So mother, apart from the recipe from you and the court judge, my son really doesn't want to have any other servants, and would rather find someone to buy it, or pick it up from Zhuangzi's family."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help laughing wryly when she heard Ya'erlin's words: "Zhuer, I haven't thought about what you said. It's just that the real Shenggong mansion is about the same size as this Rongguo mansion. If there are not enough servants, how can I take care of it?" What I think is, if you have eyeliner, you can use it. These people will use it first, and then find some people to train/teach again when they are relieved. "

"True Shenggong's mansion counts Lan'er and there are only seven masters in total. If it doesn't work, just clean up three yards first, and leave the other yards empty first. When there are enough people, we will slowly clear them out." Ya'erlin was determined not to I would like these servants who are more like masters than masters to enter his real Shenggong mansion, and those maids who are raised by Jia Baoyu's side like the vice-misses are not needed.

It's better for boys not to be too coddled. Only by suffering a little more can they understand the responsibilities of being a man.

This is definitely not because Ya'erlin doesn't like Jia Baoyu, but because of his experience.If there were not so many sufferings and tortures in the past, a white magician would not have been created.

Speaking of it, Ya'erlin didn't understand whether Jia Shishi really loved Jia Baoyu or didn't like him at all.If you really think about a child, you naturally have to think about his future.According to the laws of the Daqing Dynasty, even if Jia Baoyu was born with jade, he was only the second son of Jia Zheng.The Rongguo Mansion belongs to the eldest son, and most of the second estate should be inherited by his eldest son.

If this Jia Baoyu didn't work hard to make progress, but became a son-in-law who couldn't lift his shoulders and hands and only knew how to play like a baby with his elders and hang out with maids, what future would he have?If it hadn't been for Jia Zhu to become him, when the second family separated, Jia Baoyu might not even be able to share the property of being a rich man. What would he do then, go to the street to beg for food? !

Mrs. Wang was a little moved when she heard the words, but still hesitated: "In this way, the old lady and the master can't agree?"

"Mother, why worry too much." Yaerlin narrowed his eyes slightly, "If the old lady and the master say so, you can just say that it is the real Shenggong's mansion bestowed by the saint. This servant, isn't it becoming another Rongguo Mansion."
