Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 069
Chapter 069
Watching Jia Lian lift the curtain and leave, Wang Xifeng felt more and more uneasy.Although she also understood that Jia She, as a father, would never harm Jia Lian, but what she was worried about was that Jia Lian was not in a stable mood at this time, and would instead conflict with Jia She.In this world, it is natural for Lao Tzu to teach his son a lesson, but if a son dares to contradict Lao Tzu, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it is a "wrong".
At that moment, Wang Xifeng couldn't help calling Nanny Tang to come in, and told her to take care of Qiaojie, while she hurriedly chased her out.
At this time, Jia Lian had just walked to the gate of the courtyard when Wang Xifeng called him loudly, then glanced around, and his eyes fell on Xichun, and suddenly he had a good idea: "Second Master Lian, wait a minute, Mr. The madam forgot to take the fourth younger sister to the east courtyard, so I might as well go with you, so as to say hello to the eldest madam."
As soon as Jia Lian heard Wang Xifeng's words, she understood what she meant, but she felt that she was making a fuss out of a molehill. She was about to decline politely, but seeing Wang Xifeng's expression of worry, sorrow and abandonment intertwined, she immediately refused. Stuck in his throat, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally nodded in agreement.
Wang Xifeng happily took Xichun's hand and walked to Jia Lian, then called Zijuan and other maidservants to go to the east courtyard together.
In the east courtyard, Mrs. Xing was taken aback when she heard Jia Lian and the others coming, and hurried outside.At this time, Jia Lian had already called Jia She's study, and only Yu Wang Xifeng was holding Xichun's hand, talking and laughing while pointing at the flowers in the yard.
"Brother Feng is here." Mrs. Xing ordered someone to call Yingchun, and said to Wang Xifeng with a smile, "Brother Feng sent the fourth girl here specially? Oh, look at my memory, it was the old lady I still remembered it there, but I forgot it as soon as I turned my head." He said to Xichun, "Did the fourth girl blame the eldest aunt? Don't worry, it won't happen again next time."
Mrs. Xing was very sincere, since it was her own fault, she apologized to Xichun without hesitation.Of course, Mrs. Xing is an elder after all, and this matter is not a big deal at all, so she lightly said a word of apology and let it go.
Not long after, Yingchun came over with two big maids.
"Come on, second girl, you can lead the fourth girl to the room to play. It's not too late to call you two after the dinner is set. Remember, don't bully your sister." Mrs. Xing gave a few words, and let Yingchun and Xichun left.Turning to look at Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing led him into the small hall with a smile on her face.
After entering the small hall, Mrs. Xing first called for refreshments, and when it was almost time for lunch, she hurriedly ordered people to add some dishes.Wang Xifeng didn't refuse, she just smiled and watched Mrs. Xing busy, but Mrs. Xing became more and more happy, she just said that Wang Xifeng really treats her as her own family, and she doesn't need to be polite like treating outsiders.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were originally somewhat alienated, but fortunately they have gotten closer recently, especially because of Yingchun and Qiaojie, they have a lot to talk about sitting together.
Chatting and chatting, it's time to set the meal.Jia Amnesty sent someone to pass the word, saying that the lunch would be sent to the study, and he would take it with Jia Lian.As for this side, Jia Amnesty didn't say it deliberately, presumably it was left to Mrs. Xing to take care of it.Mrs. Xing asked Yingchun and Xichun to come over, the mothers did not go outside, and directly set up a table in the small hall, and happily ate their lunch.
After lunch, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian still did not leave the study, because everyone had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, so Wang Xifeng asked Mrs. Xing and the others to go to the East Wing.
The East Wing was originally prepared for Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and everything is complete.However, if it had been two or three months ago, the bedding and other things would not have been prepared, but since Miss Qiao came to stay for a few days, a few more maids were added to the East Wing, and even the bedding was exposed to dry in the sun.Wang Xifeng took a nap on the couch for half an hour, and after waking up, she had some refreshments with Mrs. Xing, and took the opportunity to chat about the past.
"Eldest lady, the second master Lian told me earlier that if he hadn't gone to the old lady, it would have been good to have him under her lap. Apart from other things, I also saw that my wife raised Yingchun very well."
In fact, Wang Xifeng also understands that Mrs. Xing came in late, so she may not be clear about those old things.However, in line with the idea that idleness is idleness, Wang Xifeng chatted without saying a word.
Mrs. Xing was happy to cooperate, mainly because although she was staring at the name of the eldest daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, no one in the entire family had looked at her for decades.That's all for Jia Mu and others, even the maids and mother-in-law are often chewing her tongue in secret.She thought it would be like this for the rest of her life, but she never thought that in the past two months, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes.Having a daughter under her knees, both the first wife's son-in-law and daughter-in-law are willing to show her face, and even Jia She, who has always treated her with a nose and eyes and eyes, is rare to have a good face towards her.Especially today, when I came from Rongguo Mansion earlier, there happened to be a concubine Ji who had just arrived and made things difficult for her on the grounds that the items in the house were not good. As a result, Jia She just said a word, disgusted and left.Good guy, this is not scaring people, the housekeeper called Ren Yazi over in no time, and sold the concubine Ji directly.Mrs. Xing is not stupid at all, but she can't stand up on her own and is forced to behave with her tail between her legs. Now that life is getting better, she is willing to climb up.
"Brother Feng, you have such a small mouth. You are indeed praised by the old lady. How can I raise children? The second girl was raised under the old lady's knees. How long has it been since I took over? She is also well-raised by the old lady." I don’t dare to be greedy for credit.”
"Yes, how long has it been since my wife took over the second younger sister? It's only two or three months if I've done my best? I can see that the second younger sister doesn't bow her head when she talks these days, and the smiles on her face are getting more and more. When I was at the old lady's place before, I thought that the second younger sister was more outstanding than the third and fourth younger sisters." Praising people didn't cost money or trouble, and Wang Xifeng's mouth moved, and good words poured out one after another, "Even my family's Sister Qiao, but she lived in the east courtyard for a while, and when I got back, I saw that she was completely rounded. It can be seen that the wife is really good at regulating people."
Mrs. Xing originally wanted to befriend Wang Xifeng, but in the end she was praised and praised in turn, and she couldn't hide her happy smile at the moment.When Wang Xifeng mentioned Jia Lian's childhood without leaving a trace, she didn't think much about it, and told everything she knew.
"Brother Lian is a good man. I was not lucky enough to raise him. But at that time, Brother Lian was raised under the lap of the old lady. Together with the second wife, Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan. The three children were aged They're all pretty much the same, the old lady likes children, she doesn't cling to them all day long, she just let them go and play, even Sister Yuan was raised as a boy at first, and she even learned to read and practice calligraphy."
"Is that so? Then I'll have to talk about Second Master Lian when I look back. Why are Big Brother Zhu and Big Sister Zhu so talented, and he's the only one who isn't that good at studying? He must be patronizing those pretty girls." The maids are playing around, and they don't have the heart to learn." Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered, but his face calmly deepened the topic.
"It's not Lian's fault. The young master stopped. Although the three children are the same size, there are still some differences. Zhu Ge'er is one and a half years older than Lian. I heard that he started to be enlightened as soon as he learned to speak. Brother Lian is a bit late... when he was about five years old, he was enlightened at the same time as sister Yuan, who was half a year younger than him." Mrs. Xing was completely unaware of Wang Xifeng's intentions, and hearing her say this, she was afraid that it would be true for her to go back. He said this to Jia Lian, and hurriedly excused Jia Lian, "As for Sister Yuan, Brother Feng, think about it for yourself. Although it is said that you are raised like a boy, can your daughter be taught the same way as a boy? Come to think of it, I only taught some skills of reciting poems and doing right things, Brother Lian doesn't like these, so it's possible that he can't learn them."
The smile on Wang Xifeng's face became even wider. Maybe Madam Xing was really just trying to excuse Jia Lian, but Wang Xifeng, who is as smart as she is, could hear a hint of the inside story.Assuming that the Rongguo Mansion has always held the second house Jia Zhu in high regard but despised the eldest house Jia Lian, what do I not understand?It's just that it can't be said clearly.
"Ma'am, I don't need to explain. I know it all. So what if you don't like learning? How many people like us really took the imperial examination to become officials? Besides, our second master, isn't he the same as the old man?" Did the old Duke of the State ask for an official position before he died? The old man has a hereditary official position, and the second master Lian also donated a fifth-rank fellow acquaintance. Although it is a false position, it is still an official position. Another one, every time I think of Brother Zhu, I always feel a pity, if he didn't work so hard, why would he die young?"
"That's right, as long as people are good, so what if they don't learn?" Mrs. Xing subconsciously agreed, and said, "Our family is already extremely rich, so there is no need to make progress like this. Speaking of which, the four major families Your natal uncle is more patient, isn't everyone around you adorable Zu Yin?"
Wang Xifeng smiled brightly, as if she was really proud of her natal uncle.But in fact, no one knows the actual situation better than her.In the eyes of outsiders, her parents died and she was raised at the knees of her uncle and aunt, but how can an uncle and aunt have a real father and mother who are so caring?Not to mention anything else, just look at the eldest daughter of the Shi family. Wang Xifeng was like Shi Xiangyun when she was young. When she was in the mansion, she always hoped that Mother Jia would pick her up and stay there for a while.It's not that her uncle and aunt treat her badly, it's just that she is not as relaxed and comfortable as in Jia's house.Especially the Wang family and her unreliable elder brother Wang Ren, and the real daughter who is the real jewel in the palm of her hand.
However, Wang Xifeng would never talk about the matter here.Regardless of whether she is married or not, she is always a daughter of the royal family, and even if her natal family has a normal relationship with her, there is no need to make trouble for herself.In particular, Wang Ziteng and his wife are also very face-saving people. The red makeup when they got married, and the annual etiquette every year after they got married, there is no lack of her.Wang Xifeng was very happy to use the tiger's skin as a banner, no matter in front of anyone, she always looked proud of Wang Ziteng.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time. Wang Xifeng smiled and praised Mrs. Xing, while inquiring about the old things without leaving a trace. It went well. Mrs. Xing never doubted her intentions, and never hesitated , and said everything he knew.
The only pity is that Mrs. Xing didn't know about Zhang's and Jia Hu's affairs. Firstly, she entered the door late, and secondly, it seemed that these two people were taboo in Rongguo Mansion.
As for Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, they never showed up at all, and they don't know what is the important matter of these two people, but they have been talking in secret in the study.Until the second half of the day, the maid asked if the meal was ready, but the two of them hadn't come out yet.Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing had dinner again, but this time they were quite absent-minded.Fortunately, Mrs. Xing and the others were not careless people. After a little dinner, Mrs. Xing planned to go to Rongqing Hall to pay her respects.It was also at this time that Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian came out of the study. When they asked, they planned to go to Jia Mu together.Mrs. Xing didn't have the confidence to question Jia She's decision, she just obediently followed Jia She, holding Yingchun in one hand and Xichun in the other, and they walked out of the black oil gate of the East Courtyard together to Rongqing Hall.As for Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, they were two steps behind and did not speak, only exchanged a few glances.
In a short while, Rongqing Hall arrived.
Jia's mother rested for most of the afternoon, Yuanyang couldn't stand it anymore, so she woke up Jia's mother, and after a long time of persuasion, she managed to eat half of her dinner.Seeing everyone from the big house come to pay their respects now, Mother Jia couldn't cheer up at all.After saying a few words, Jia Mu simply sent the person away, and then took a rest.
In other words, Jia Amnesty originally thought that if he could run into Jia Zheng again, he would at least be angry with Jia Zheng again. He never thought that not only Jia Zheng didn't come to pay his respects, but none of the second room members came over at all.It was as if Jia Amnesty had punched the cotton, and he took advantage of his excitement and walked away without even saying hello, just turned around and left.
Everyone in the big house came and went in a hurry, leaving Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian looking at each other, and finally Wang Xifeng spoke first: "Second Master Lian, why don't we go and see the second wife first? I don't know how she is now, just calculate the time, It's time to take the second patch."
Jia Lian never agreed or opposed, but went to Rongxi Hall with Wang Xifeng calmly.The situation of Mrs. Wang is still the same. Jin Chuan and other maids are loyal to protect the master and take good care of them. Even Li Wan stays in Mrs. Wang's room all day and never leaves, even the meals are taken by the side. Used it in a hurry.Wang Xifeng only told a few words to take good care of Mrs. Wang, and then left with Jia Lian.It's just that when I was leaving, I happened to hear a few little maids talking in the corridor, but it was Jia Zheng who didn't visit Mrs. Wang after he was released from the Yamen in the evening, but went straight to the room of the new Aunt Zhou. Dinner is served there.
The corners of Wang Xifeng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he looked at Jia Lian again, but was surprised to find that Jia Lian's face was still calm, and he felt suspicious for a while.
In fact, since Jia Lian came out of Jia She's study in the East Courtyard, he has kept this appearance.Although he exchanged a few glances with Wang Xifeng in the middle, signaling Wang Xifeng to be at ease, there was still no emotion on his face.Wang Xifeng didn't think much about it until now when Jia Lian didn't respond when she heard the little maid chewing Jia Zheng's tongue, she became alert.
"Second Master Lian, do you have something on your mind?" Wang Xifeng asked tentatively.
Jia Lian looked down at Wang Xifeng, and said calmly, "We'll talk about it when we go back." These words sounded like what Wang Xifeng said to him this morning.
"Okay, then let's go back and talk about it. By the way, have you had enough for dinner today? I was too busy joking with the eldest wife, second younger sister, and fourth younger sister, but now I'm a little hungry again. Why don't we let people go Bring some good wine and food from the big kitchen, and use it when you go back to your room?"
"It's up to you." Jia Lian said absent-mindedly.
Wang Xifeng saw that he really had something on his mind, so he stopped asking.Ask Zijuan to take a few maidservants to look at the big kitchen, while she follows Jia Lian and walks quickly into her yard.After returning to the courtyard, the couple first went to see Qiao Jie, and did not go to the inner room until Ping'er entered the room and said that everything was in order.
"Second Master Lian, what happened?" Wang Xifeng filled Jia Lian's wine with her own hands, and brought some appetizers for Jia Lian, and asked with a smile, "I went to the east courtyard angrily, I never thought of it." Second master of the study, but you have become like this. Could it be that you were taught a lesson by the elder?"
Jia Lian picked up the wine cup hesitantly, and instead of drinking, just looked at it, as if thinking about how to answer Wang Xifeng's words.Seeing this, Wang Xifeng became more and more suspicious, but she didn't want to force Jia Lian. After waiting for a while, seeing that Jia Lian hadn't opened his mouth, she simply brought up the conversation between this son and Mrs. Xing.In fact, what Mrs. Xing knows is not a secret, but Mrs. Xing is from a small family at this time, and she doesn't have much knowledge. Many things obviously contain inside information. If it is Mrs. Wang, She would never say it easily, but Mrs. Xing would.Wang Xifeng roughly pieced together some facts based on those few words and the memories of her previous life.
"...The eldest wife is also a person with a solid heart. She seems to be completely unsuspecting of me, and she actually said those things to me with all her heart and soul. I never thought that our eldest room has so many secrets I don't even know that the Elder Master seemed to want to take you back from the old lady more than once."
"There are still many things you don't know." Hearing Wang Xifeng say a lot of things, Jia Lian suddenly said, "No, to be precise, there should be many things that the two of us don't know."
"What does Second Master Lian mean?" Wang Xifeng asked in confusion.
"That's what you think." Jia Lian picked up the wine cup with a sullen face and drank it down, then put the empty wine cup heavily on the small table, and made a muffled sound, "You're fine, but I really don't care. Yes. After listening to what my father said today, I realized that these 20 years have been in vain! Hahaha, I never thought that I was a fool for 20 years!"
"Second Master!" Wang Xifeng exclaimed, looking at Jia Lian worriedly, "Second Master, don't say that, we are still young, we haven't experienced much, and it's common to be inconsiderate. In the past, the wrong person and the wrong person were misunderstood, and it is not too late to wake up now."
"Isn't it too late?" Jia Lian looked up blankly, seeing Wang Xifeng pour him another glass of wine, she instinctively drank it down again, then squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, and said, "It's not too late, but I'm afraid it's not too early? After living for 20 years, I didn't know the cause of death of my mother and elder brother. Brother Feng, do you think I'm stupid?"
Wang Xifeng's complexion changed drastically. She had thought that Jia She would tell Jia Lian something, but she never expected that Jia She would even say this.But the question is, the cause of death... What is the cause of death of Zhang's mother and son?Reminiscent of Mrs. Wang's more ruthless methods in the past, could it be that Mrs. Wang did it?But counting the time, at the time before and after Zhang's mother and son, Mrs. Wang should have just entered the house not long ago, and Jia Daishan was still alive at that time. How could Mrs. Wang, He De, be able to do such evil things, but she was never severely punished or even punished? It may not have been noticed at all.
"Second Master, would you like to talk to me about this?" Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian hesitantly, with a tone full of uncertainty.
Jia Lian smiled wryly, but still nodded to Wang Xifeng, and said, "I just wanted to tell you about this, but I don't know where to start." After thinking about it again, Jia Lian simply broke the pot and said, " Forget it, let’s start with my mother entering the door.”
The Zhang family has a daughter named Shuxian, who has already been famous in the capital before she reached the age of Ji. If it wasn't for the fact that her age is so far away from today's age, and her father and brother are so fond of her, I am afraid that even if she is not sent to the palace, she will be assigned to one of the princes one person.However, at that time, Duke Rong Jia Daishan was still alive and had great prestige in the court. After his eldest son became crowned, Jia Daishan chose a wife for him. allow.On the contrary, a few months after the Wang family mentioned it, Jia Daishan visited the Zhang family in person, promised sincerity and courtesy, and sought a good daughter-in-law for the eldest son.
When the news came out, the other people naturally congratulated him, but the Patriarch of the Wang family was slightly dissatisfied.Fortunately, no one except Jia Daishan knew about the fact that the Patriarch of the Wang Family personally proposed marriage, and after the marriage of the eldest son was confirmed, Jia Daishan went to the Wang Family to have a secret talk with the Patriarch of the Wang Family. The marriage between the second son and the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
Although Jia Daishan's two sons are already engaged, the eldest son Jia She must be the one who gets married first.Jia She married his wife Zhang, and she became pregnant that year, and gave birth to a son named Jia Hu the following year.At the end of the same year, Mrs. Wang came in, but she was not pregnant for three consecutive years. It was not until the third year that she was able to conceive her eldest son Jia Zhu.It's just that as soon as Jia Zhu fell into the weeds, Wang Shi was not complacent when she heard that Zhang Shi was pregnant again.Another year, the Zhang family gave birth to another son, but it was Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng's husband.And as early as before Jia Lian was born, the Wang family was pregnant again, and on the auspicious day of the first day of the first lunar month, she gave birth to Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter.
Originally at this time, Rongguo Mansion was full of jubilation.Especially Jia's mother, who has always loved children, was so happy that she couldn't find Bei.And at that time, Jia Min, the youngest daughter of Jia's mother, may have found a good son-in-law and will be married soon.At that time, the Rongguo Mansion was full of laughter and laughter every day, and I didn't know what troubles were.
But accidents often happen in an instant.
But it is said that Zhang's father and brother have always been on good terms with Jia Daishan, if not, Jia Daishan would not have come to the door in person to propose marriage for the eldest son.Especially Jia Daishan knew that neither of his two sons were great talents, but on the contrary, the Zhang family had three brothers, each of whom was a pillar of the country.Jia Dai Shanyuan wanted to make friends, so that the three elder brothers of the Zhang family could pull the Rongguo Mansion a hundred years later.It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. No one would have thought that Zhang's father would be convicted of a crime that would implicate the whole family.Jia Amnesty, who was still young at the time, was not very clear about the specific situation, but he could imagine that the charges that would implicate the whole family could be light?It is absolutely impossible for the Zhang family to collude with the enemy and betray the country, so the rest can be guessed at all.
According to what Jia She said, the Zhang family fell from the sky to the mortal world overnight, and it was because the Holy One read his three generations of loyalty to the imperial court and finally pardoned the death penalty.But there is a saying that capital crimes can be avoided and life crimes cannot be escaped, as is the case with the Zhang family.
In the end, all the male members of the Zhang family resigned from their official positions, and Zhang's elderly grandmother couldn't bear such a heavy blow, so she passed away directly.The Zhang family simply used the name of filial piety to help the coffin back to the hometown, and never appeared in Beijing again.
Ordinarily, no one expected this kind of thing to happen, but even more unpredictable things are yet to come.Less than a month after the Zhang family left the capital, many families who had close contacts with the Zhang family were relegated to varying degrees.Because the Jia family is related to Zhang's family by marriage, and Jia Daishan has a very good relationship with Zhang's father, it is naturally among them.It can be said that in one night, Zhang's status in Jia's mansion suddenly dropped, and the pressure that the unborn Zhang had to bear was not only that, the Zhang family changed, the old grandmother who loved Zhang passed away, the Zhang family left, Shi's mood can be imagined.
"...When my father talked about these things, he also blamed himself very much. In fact, he was about the same age as me at that time, and although he was the eldest son of the family, he was spoiled and spoiled when he was young. Yes, how do you know that those people have sinister hearts? At that time, something happened to Zhang's family, which involved the grandfather, and the old lady was also ill for a while, he was busy doing his filial piety at the knees of the elders, but he ignored my mother." Jia Lian looked at him with empty eyes. In front of me, he sighed a long time, "Father told me that he didn't have any feelings at all at the time, but he just felt that my mother always knew the general situation and was known for being virtuous, and she acted in a very proper way on weekdays. arrive……"
No one is a god, not to mention that Jia She was not that kind of extremely intelligent person, even if he was, he would not be able to figure out what happened next.
The Zhang family was completely defeated, and looking at the attitude of the Holy One at that time, I am afraid that there is no possibility of revival.Mrs. Zhang felt distressed. The servants of the Pianrong State Mansion were always the masters of stepping on the lows and hunting for the highs. Seeing the decline of the Zhang family, their attitude towards Zhang's gradually changed.What a smart person Mrs. Zhang is, but her temperament is completely different from Wang Xifeng's. She comes from a scholarly family, and Mrs. Zhang is also a good-looking person at heart. Although she has noticed some differences, she really does not want to lower her figure to teach her people.Especially at that time, Jia Mu was also sick, and Mrs. Zhang didn't want to disturb Jia Mu's purity.
If life is just like this, it doesn't matter.Thinking about it, no matter what kind of turmoil, it will be completely forgotten by the world as time goes by.But at this stall, something happened to Jia Hu.
In good conscience, Jia Hu's accident has nothing to do with Mrs. Wang.At that time, Mrs. Wang was busy taking care of the young eldest son and the eldest daughter who was still in her infancy, and she had to go to Jiamu's sickness from time to time. Even if she had some dissatisfaction with Zhang, she just turned a blind eye to it. .It's just that the whole Rongguo Mansion was busy with their own affairs, but no one noticed that Jia Hu, who was only five years old, left the maid and mother-in-law behind and made a fuss in the garden.Without paying attention, Jia Hu fell into the lotus pond in the garden.
"What?!" Wang Xifeng exclaimed, her face full of disbelief and shock.
Not to mention, such accidents may not be considered unusual in ordinary people. What kind of family is the □□Guofu?Not to mention the eldest son of the eldest son of the house, even the concubine and concubine daughter of any house, most of them are taken care of by servants.Just like Wang Xifeng herself, although her parents died when she was young, at most she didn't feel love and care when she was in the Wang family. Wang Ziteng and his wife never treated her harshly in terms of basic necessities of life.Wang Xifeng couldn't imagine that Jia Hu, who was only five years old, could run away from the maid and play in the yard, and even fell into the lotus pond.
"Brother Feng, don't you think it's unbelievable? When I heard my father say this at the beginning, I exclaimed just like you just now. Just like you said, how could people like us do this?" Allowing such an accident to happen? Let alone, I have been reminded of my fate since I was a child, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Jia Lian smiled bitterly again, "Of course, it may also be because of my elder brother's incident. Why are you treating me so harshly?"
"It's not a question of being strict or not. No, I'm a little confused. I mean, are those maids dead? They can't even look after a five-year-old child. What's the use of them?" Wang Xifeng simply She was so angry that she wanted to throw the table up. She had always been a hot-tempered person, and because of her past life, she valued her daughter Qiaojie very much.She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if this kind of thing happened to Qiaojie.
...Maybe he was so angry that he took a knife and hacked all the maids to death!
"Although the servant girl said she was a little careless towards my mother, she would not take her anger out on my elder brother. Although he was dumped by my elder brother, they chased after him. It was summer at that time, maid Among the mother-in-law, there are a few old people brought from Jinling, all of whom can swim. They rescued my elder brother from the water not long after."
"What then?"
"My elder brother choked on a few sips of water, caught a cold, and was shocked. However, the doctor who came later said that the problem was not serious, mainly because it was the dog days and he didn't stay in the water for long. Serious."
Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately his face changed drastically.
Since the situation was not serious, how could it become the state it was later on?Jia Hu...he's dead!
"Have you thought about it?" Jia Lian said calmly, "I have thought of what you can think of before, so I naturally asked my father. My father said that after my elder brother's accident, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was alarmed. Naturally, those maids and mothers-in-law will definitely not escape this catastrophe. They were sold and sold, and some were sent to Zhuangzi. Apart from them, my mother cannot escape punishment, after all, she is responsible for taking care of our two brothers. .”
"Punishment...is justified." Even in a wealthy family like theirs, the children are all taken care of by the nanny, and there are many maids and women who follow.But in any case, the responsibility of caring for the children still falls on the mother.Just like, Li Wan helped take care of Sanchun before, if anything happened to any of Sanchun, Li Wan would take joint and several responsibilities.Not to mention, Jia Hu is Zhang's biological son.
"Yes, the punishment should be punished. My father said that when my mother heard that something happened to my eldest brother, she rushed out like crazy. She herself felt very uncomfortable! When she heard that the old lady was still If she wanted to punish her, she naturally didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal. Later, my elder brother fell ill due to catching a cold and was frightened, and she even stayed up all night to take care of my elder brother." Jia Lian said, his voice suddenly a little bit Choked up, in fact, he really didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Shi. From his only memory, he only knew that Zhang Shi was very kind to him, but he really didn't know exactly how.
"She is a good mother." Wang Xifeng said.
Jia Lian nodded heavily, and said in a very positive tone: "Yes, she is a good mother. Even though I don't remember her appearance much, I know she must be a good mother."
As a good mother, Mrs. Zhang, because she neglected to take care of her eldest son, caused her eldest son to accidentally fall into the water and fell ill. She was also very sad.In fact, for her, all punishments are inferior to the guilt and self-blame she feels towards her eldest son.Coupled with the things that happened before, Jia Hu hadn't recovered yet, but Mrs. Zhang fell ill.
Zhang was originally depressed because of her mother's affairs, and Jia Hu's matter was more like the last straw that overwhelmed her.She never recovered from this disease.
Wang Xifeng also had a similar idea. She wanted Mrs. Wang to die, but she had to hope that she would be fine.There is only one point that she is completely different from Jia's mother.
The ransacking and extermination of the family in the Rongguo Mansion in the previous life is vivid. Even though Wang Xifeng was partly responsible for it, she knew very well that even if she did not do anything against the law, the Rongguo Mansion would not be able to escape the tragedy of ransacking the house.
Unless, Dafang leaves Rongguo Mansion ahead of time, it is not a separation of the family, let alone simply moving out, but a complete severance of all ties with Rongguo Mansion.But all of this is based on the fact that Mrs. Wang
Watching Jia Lian lift the curtain and leave, Wang Xifeng felt more and more uneasy.Although she also understood that Jia She, as a father, would never harm Jia Lian, but what she was worried about was that Jia Lian was not in a stable mood at this time, and would instead conflict with Jia She.In this world, it is natural for Lao Tzu to teach his son a lesson, but if a son dares to contradict Lao Tzu, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, it is a "wrong".
At that moment, Wang Xifeng couldn't help calling Nanny Tang to come in, and told her to take care of Qiaojie, while she hurriedly chased her out.
At this time, Jia Lian had just walked to the gate of the courtyard when Wang Xifeng called him loudly, then glanced around, and his eyes fell on Xichun, and suddenly he had a good idea: "Second Master Lian, wait a minute, Mr. The madam forgot to take the fourth younger sister to the east courtyard, so I might as well go with you, so as to say hello to the eldest madam."
As soon as Jia Lian heard Wang Xifeng's words, she understood what she meant, but she felt that she was making a fuss out of a molehill. She was about to decline politely, but seeing Wang Xifeng's expression of worry, sorrow and abandonment intertwined, she immediately refused. Stuck in his throat, his eyes flickered slightly, and finally nodded in agreement.
Wang Xifeng happily took Xichun's hand and walked to Jia Lian, then called Zijuan and other maidservants to go to the east courtyard together.
In the east courtyard, Mrs. Xing was taken aback when she heard Jia Lian and the others coming, and hurried outside.At this time, Jia Lian had already called Jia She's study, and only Yu Wang Xifeng was holding Xichun's hand, talking and laughing while pointing at the flowers in the yard.
"Brother Feng is here." Mrs. Xing ordered someone to call Yingchun, and said to Wang Xifeng with a smile, "Brother Feng sent the fourth girl here specially? Oh, look at my memory, it was the old lady I still remembered it there, but I forgot it as soon as I turned my head." He said to Xichun, "Did the fourth girl blame the eldest aunt? Don't worry, it won't happen again next time."
Mrs. Xing was very sincere, since it was her own fault, she apologized to Xichun without hesitation.Of course, Mrs. Xing is an elder after all, and this matter is not a big deal at all, so she lightly said a word of apology and let it go.
Not long after, Yingchun came over with two big maids.
"Come on, second girl, you can lead the fourth girl to the room to play. It's not too late to call you two after the dinner is set. Remember, don't bully your sister." Mrs. Xing gave a few words, and let Yingchun and Xichun left.Turning to look at Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Xing led him into the small hall with a smile on her face.
After entering the small hall, Mrs. Xing first called for refreshments, and when it was almost time for lunch, she hurriedly ordered people to add some dishes.Wang Xifeng didn't refuse, she just smiled and watched Mrs. Xing busy, but Mrs. Xing became more and more happy, she just said that Wang Xifeng really treats her as her own family, and she doesn't need to be polite like treating outsiders.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were originally somewhat alienated, but fortunately they have gotten closer recently, especially because of Yingchun and Qiaojie, they have a lot to talk about sitting together.
Chatting and chatting, it's time to set the meal.Jia Amnesty sent someone to pass the word, saying that the lunch would be sent to the study, and he would take it with Jia Lian.As for this side, Jia Amnesty didn't say it deliberately, presumably it was left to Mrs. Xing to take care of it.Mrs. Xing asked Yingchun and Xichun to come over, the mothers did not go outside, and directly set up a table in the small hall, and happily ate their lunch.
After lunch, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian still did not leave the study, because everyone had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, so Wang Xifeng asked Mrs. Xing and the others to go to the East Wing.
The East Wing was originally prepared for Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and everything is complete.However, if it had been two or three months ago, the bedding and other things would not have been prepared, but since Miss Qiao came to stay for a few days, a few more maids were added to the East Wing, and even the bedding was exposed to dry in the sun.Wang Xifeng took a nap on the couch for half an hour, and after waking up, she had some refreshments with Mrs. Xing, and took the opportunity to chat about the past.
"Eldest lady, the second master Lian told me earlier that if he hadn't gone to the old lady, it would have been good to have him under her lap. Apart from other things, I also saw that my wife raised Yingchun very well."
In fact, Wang Xifeng also understands that Mrs. Xing came in late, so she may not be clear about those old things.However, in line with the idea that idleness is idleness, Wang Xifeng chatted without saying a word.
Mrs. Xing was happy to cooperate, mainly because although she was staring at the name of the eldest daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, no one in the entire family had looked at her for decades.That's all for Jia Mu and others, even the maids and mother-in-law are often chewing her tongue in secret.She thought it would be like this for the rest of her life, but she never thought that in the past two months, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes.Having a daughter under her knees, both the first wife's son-in-law and daughter-in-law are willing to show her face, and even Jia She, who has always treated her with a nose and eyes and eyes, is rare to have a good face towards her.Especially today, when I came from Rongguo Mansion earlier, there happened to be a concubine Ji who had just arrived and made things difficult for her on the grounds that the items in the house were not good. As a result, Jia She just said a word, disgusted and left.Good guy, this is not scaring people, the housekeeper called Ren Yazi over in no time, and sold the concubine Ji directly.Mrs. Xing is not stupid at all, but she can't stand up on her own and is forced to behave with her tail between her legs. Now that life is getting better, she is willing to climb up.
"Brother Feng, you have such a small mouth. You are indeed praised by the old lady. How can I raise children? The second girl was raised under the old lady's knees. How long has it been since I took over? She is also well-raised by the old lady." I don’t dare to be greedy for credit.”
"Yes, how long has it been since my wife took over the second younger sister? It's only two or three months if I've done my best? I can see that the second younger sister doesn't bow her head when she talks these days, and the smiles on her face are getting more and more. When I was at the old lady's place before, I thought that the second younger sister was more outstanding than the third and fourth younger sisters." Praising people didn't cost money or trouble, and Wang Xifeng's mouth moved, and good words poured out one after another, "Even my family's Sister Qiao, but she lived in the east courtyard for a while, and when I got back, I saw that she was completely rounded. It can be seen that the wife is really good at regulating people."
Mrs. Xing originally wanted to befriend Wang Xifeng, but in the end she was praised and praised in turn, and she couldn't hide her happy smile at the moment.When Wang Xifeng mentioned Jia Lian's childhood without leaving a trace, she didn't think much about it, and told everything she knew.
"Brother Lian is a good man. I was not lucky enough to raise him. But at that time, Brother Lian was raised under the lap of the old lady. Together with the second wife, Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan. The three children were aged They're all pretty much the same, the old lady likes children, she doesn't cling to them all day long, she just let them go and play, even Sister Yuan was raised as a boy at first, and she even learned to read and practice calligraphy."
"Is that so? Then I'll have to talk about Second Master Lian when I look back. Why are Big Brother Zhu and Big Sister Zhu so talented, and he's the only one who isn't that good at studying? He must be patronizing those pretty girls." The maids are playing around, and they don't have the heart to learn." Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered, but his face calmly deepened the topic.
"It's not Lian's fault. The young master stopped. Although the three children are the same size, there are still some differences. Zhu Ge'er is one and a half years older than Lian. I heard that he started to be enlightened as soon as he learned to speak. Brother Lian is a bit late... when he was about five years old, he was enlightened at the same time as sister Yuan, who was half a year younger than him." Mrs. Xing was completely unaware of Wang Xifeng's intentions, and hearing her say this, she was afraid that it would be true for her to go back. He said this to Jia Lian, and hurriedly excused Jia Lian, "As for Sister Yuan, Brother Feng, think about it for yourself. Although it is said that you are raised like a boy, can your daughter be taught the same way as a boy? Come to think of it, I only taught some skills of reciting poems and doing right things, Brother Lian doesn't like these, so it's possible that he can't learn them."
The smile on Wang Xifeng's face became even wider. Maybe Madam Xing was really just trying to excuse Jia Lian, but Wang Xifeng, who is as smart as she is, could hear a hint of the inside story.Assuming that the Rongguo Mansion has always held the second house Jia Zhu in high regard but despised the eldest house Jia Lian, what do I not understand?It's just that it can't be said clearly.
"Ma'am, I don't need to explain. I know it all. So what if you don't like learning? How many people like us really took the imperial examination to become officials? Besides, our second master, isn't he the same as the old man?" Did the old Duke of the State ask for an official position before he died? The old man has a hereditary official position, and the second master Lian also donated a fifth-rank fellow acquaintance. Although it is a false position, it is still an official position. Another one, every time I think of Brother Zhu, I always feel a pity, if he didn't work so hard, why would he die young?"
"That's right, as long as people are good, so what if they don't learn?" Mrs. Xing subconsciously agreed, and said, "Our family is already extremely rich, so there is no need to make progress like this. Speaking of which, the four major families Your natal uncle is more patient, isn't everyone around you adorable Zu Yin?"
Wang Xifeng smiled brightly, as if she was really proud of her natal uncle.But in fact, no one knows the actual situation better than her.In the eyes of outsiders, her parents died and she was raised at the knees of her uncle and aunt, but how can an uncle and aunt have a real father and mother who are so caring?Not to mention anything else, just look at the eldest daughter of the Shi family. Wang Xifeng was like Shi Xiangyun when she was young. When she was in the mansion, she always hoped that Mother Jia would pick her up and stay there for a while.It's not that her uncle and aunt treat her badly, it's just that she is not as relaxed and comfortable as in Jia's house.Especially the Wang family and her unreliable elder brother Wang Ren, and the real daughter who is the real jewel in the palm of her hand.
However, Wang Xifeng would never talk about the matter here.Regardless of whether she is married or not, she is always a daughter of the royal family, and even if her natal family has a normal relationship with her, there is no need to make trouble for herself.In particular, Wang Ziteng and his wife are also very face-saving people. The red makeup when they got married, and the annual etiquette every year after they got married, there is no lack of her.Wang Xifeng was very happy to use the tiger's skin as a banner, no matter in front of anyone, she always looked proud of Wang Ziteng.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a long time. Wang Xifeng smiled and praised Mrs. Xing, while inquiring about the old things without leaving a trace. It went well. Mrs. Xing never doubted her intentions, and never hesitated , and said everything he knew.
The only pity is that Mrs. Xing didn't know about Zhang's and Jia Hu's affairs. Firstly, she entered the door late, and secondly, it seemed that these two people were taboo in Rongguo Mansion.
As for Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian, they never showed up at all, and they don't know what is the important matter of these two people, but they have been talking in secret in the study.Until the second half of the day, the maid asked if the meal was ready, but the two of them hadn't come out yet.Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing had dinner again, but this time they were quite absent-minded.Fortunately, Mrs. Xing and the others were not careless people. After a little dinner, Mrs. Xing planned to go to Rongqing Hall to pay her respects.It was also at this time that Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian came out of the study. When they asked, they planned to go to Jia Mu together.Mrs. Xing didn't have the confidence to question Jia She's decision, she just obediently followed Jia She, holding Yingchun in one hand and Xichun in the other, and they walked out of the black oil gate of the East Courtyard together to Rongqing Hall.As for Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, they were two steps behind and did not speak, only exchanged a few glances.
In a short while, Rongqing Hall arrived.
Jia's mother rested for most of the afternoon, Yuanyang couldn't stand it anymore, so she woke up Jia's mother, and after a long time of persuasion, she managed to eat half of her dinner.Seeing everyone from the big house come to pay their respects now, Mother Jia couldn't cheer up at all.After saying a few words, Jia Mu simply sent the person away, and then took a rest.
In other words, Jia Amnesty originally thought that if he could run into Jia Zheng again, he would at least be angry with Jia Zheng again. He never thought that not only Jia Zheng didn't come to pay his respects, but none of the second room members came over at all.It was as if Jia Amnesty had punched the cotton, and he took advantage of his excitement and walked away without even saying hello, just turned around and left.
Everyone in the big house came and went in a hurry, leaving Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian looking at each other, and finally Wang Xifeng spoke first: "Second Master Lian, why don't we go and see the second wife first? I don't know how she is now, just calculate the time, It's time to take the second patch."
Jia Lian never agreed or opposed, but went to Rongxi Hall with Wang Xifeng calmly.The situation of Mrs. Wang is still the same. Jin Chuan and other maids are loyal to protect the master and take good care of them. Even Li Wan stays in Mrs. Wang's room all day and never leaves, even the meals are taken by the side. Used it in a hurry.Wang Xifeng only told a few words to take good care of Mrs. Wang, and then left with Jia Lian.It's just that when I was leaving, I happened to hear a few little maids talking in the corridor, but it was Jia Zheng who didn't visit Mrs. Wang after he was released from the Yamen in the evening, but went straight to the room of the new Aunt Zhou. Dinner is served there.
The corners of Wang Xifeng's mouth raised slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he looked at Jia Lian again, but was surprised to find that Jia Lian's face was still calm, and he felt suspicious for a while.
In fact, since Jia Lian came out of Jia She's study in the East Courtyard, he has kept this appearance.Although he exchanged a few glances with Wang Xifeng in the middle, signaling Wang Xifeng to be at ease, there was still no emotion on his face.Wang Xifeng didn't think much about it until now when Jia Lian didn't respond when she heard the little maid chewing Jia Zheng's tongue, she became alert.
"Second Master Lian, do you have something on your mind?" Wang Xifeng asked tentatively.
Jia Lian looked down at Wang Xifeng, and said calmly, "We'll talk about it when we go back." These words sounded like what Wang Xifeng said to him this morning.
"Okay, then let's go back and talk about it. By the way, have you had enough for dinner today? I was too busy joking with the eldest wife, second younger sister, and fourth younger sister, but now I'm a little hungry again. Why don't we let people go Bring some good wine and food from the big kitchen, and use it when you go back to your room?"
"It's up to you." Jia Lian said absent-mindedly.
Wang Xifeng saw that he really had something on his mind, so he stopped asking.Ask Zijuan to take a few maidservants to look at the big kitchen, while she follows Jia Lian and walks quickly into her yard.After returning to the courtyard, the couple first went to see Qiao Jie, and did not go to the inner room until Ping'er entered the room and said that everything was in order.
"Second Master Lian, what happened?" Wang Xifeng filled Jia Lian's wine with her own hands, and brought some appetizers for Jia Lian, and asked with a smile, "I went to the east courtyard angrily, I never thought of it." Second master of the study, but you have become like this. Could it be that you were taught a lesson by the elder?"
Jia Lian picked up the wine cup hesitantly, and instead of drinking, just looked at it, as if thinking about how to answer Wang Xifeng's words.Seeing this, Wang Xifeng became more and more suspicious, but she didn't want to force Jia Lian. After waiting for a while, seeing that Jia Lian hadn't opened his mouth, she simply brought up the conversation between this son and Mrs. Xing.In fact, what Mrs. Xing knows is not a secret, but Mrs. Xing is from a small family at this time, and she doesn't have much knowledge. Many things obviously contain inside information. If it is Mrs. Wang, She would never say it easily, but Mrs. Xing would.Wang Xifeng roughly pieced together some facts based on those few words and the memories of her previous life.
"...The eldest wife is also a person with a solid heart. She seems to be completely unsuspecting of me, and she actually said those things to me with all her heart and soul. I never thought that our eldest room has so many secrets I don't even know that the Elder Master seemed to want to take you back from the old lady more than once."
"There are still many things you don't know." Hearing Wang Xifeng say a lot of things, Jia Lian suddenly said, "No, to be precise, there should be many things that the two of us don't know."
"What does Second Master Lian mean?" Wang Xifeng asked in confusion.
"That's what you think." Jia Lian picked up the wine cup with a sullen face and drank it down, then put the empty wine cup heavily on the small table, and made a muffled sound, "You're fine, but I really don't care. Yes. After listening to what my father said today, I realized that these 20 years have been in vain! Hahaha, I never thought that I was a fool for 20 years!"
"Second Master!" Wang Xifeng exclaimed, looking at Jia Lian worriedly, "Second Master, don't say that, we are still young, we haven't experienced much, and it's common to be inconsiderate. In the past, the wrong person and the wrong person were misunderstood, and it is not too late to wake up now."
"Isn't it too late?" Jia Lian looked up blankly, seeing Wang Xifeng pour him another glass of wine, she instinctively drank it down again, then squeezed out a smile uglier than crying, and said, "It's not too late, but I'm afraid it's not too early? After living for 20 years, I didn't know the cause of death of my mother and elder brother. Brother Feng, do you think I'm stupid?"
Wang Xifeng's complexion changed drastically. She had thought that Jia She would tell Jia Lian something, but she never expected that Jia She would even say this.But the question is, the cause of death... What is the cause of death of Zhang's mother and son?Reminiscent of Mrs. Wang's more ruthless methods in the past, could it be that Mrs. Wang did it?But counting the time, at the time before and after Zhang's mother and son, Mrs. Wang should have just entered the house not long ago, and Jia Daishan was still alive at that time. How could Mrs. Wang, He De, be able to do such evil things, but she was never severely punished or even punished? It may not have been noticed at all.
"Second Master, would you like to talk to me about this?" Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian hesitantly, with a tone full of uncertainty.
Jia Lian smiled wryly, but still nodded to Wang Xifeng, and said, "I just wanted to tell you about this, but I don't know where to start." After thinking about it again, Jia Lian simply broke the pot and said, " Forget it, let’s start with my mother entering the door.”
The Zhang family has a daughter named Shuxian, who has already been famous in the capital before she reached the age of Ji. If it wasn't for the fact that her age is so far away from today's age, and her father and brother are so fond of her, I am afraid that even if she is not sent to the palace, she will be assigned to one of the princes one person.However, at that time, Duke Rong Jia Daishan was still alive and had great prestige in the court. After his eldest son became crowned, Jia Daishan chose a wife for him. allow.On the contrary, a few months after the Wang family mentioned it, Jia Daishan visited the Zhang family in person, promised sincerity and courtesy, and sought a good daughter-in-law for the eldest son.
When the news came out, the other people naturally congratulated him, but the Patriarch of the Wang family was slightly dissatisfied.Fortunately, no one except Jia Daishan knew about the fact that the Patriarch of the Wang Family personally proposed marriage, and after the marriage of the eldest son was confirmed, Jia Daishan went to the Wang Family to have a secret talk with the Patriarch of the Wang Family. The marriage between the second son and the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
Although Jia Daishan's two sons are already engaged, the eldest son Jia She must be the one who gets married first.Jia She married his wife Zhang, and she became pregnant that year, and gave birth to a son named Jia Hu the following year.At the end of the same year, Mrs. Wang came in, but she was not pregnant for three consecutive years. It was not until the third year that she was able to conceive her eldest son Jia Zhu.It's just that as soon as Jia Zhu fell into the weeds, Wang Shi was not complacent when she heard that Zhang Shi was pregnant again.Another year, the Zhang family gave birth to another son, but it was Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng's husband.And as early as before Jia Lian was born, the Wang family was pregnant again, and on the auspicious day of the first day of the first lunar month, she gave birth to Jia Yuanchun, the eldest daughter.
Originally at this time, Rongguo Mansion was full of jubilation.Especially Jia's mother, who has always loved children, was so happy that she couldn't find Bei.And at that time, Jia Min, the youngest daughter of Jia's mother, may have found a good son-in-law and will be married soon.At that time, the Rongguo Mansion was full of laughter and laughter every day, and I didn't know what troubles were.
But accidents often happen in an instant.
But it is said that Zhang's father and brother have always been on good terms with Jia Daishan, if not, Jia Daishan would not have come to the door in person to propose marriage for the eldest son.Especially Jia Daishan knew that neither of his two sons were great talents, but on the contrary, the Zhang family had three brothers, each of whom was a pillar of the country.Jia Dai Shanyuan wanted to make friends, so that the three elder brothers of the Zhang family could pull the Rongguo Mansion a hundred years later.It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. No one would have thought that Zhang's father would be convicted of a crime that would implicate the whole family.Jia Amnesty, who was still young at the time, was not very clear about the specific situation, but he could imagine that the charges that would implicate the whole family could be light?It is absolutely impossible for the Zhang family to collude with the enemy and betray the country, so the rest can be guessed at all.
According to what Jia She said, the Zhang family fell from the sky to the mortal world overnight, and it was because the Holy One read his three generations of loyalty to the imperial court and finally pardoned the death penalty.But there is a saying that capital crimes can be avoided and life crimes cannot be escaped, as is the case with the Zhang family.
In the end, all the male members of the Zhang family resigned from their official positions, and Zhang's elderly grandmother couldn't bear such a heavy blow, so she passed away directly.The Zhang family simply used the name of filial piety to help the coffin back to the hometown, and never appeared in Beijing again.
Ordinarily, no one expected this kind of thing to happen, but even more unpredictable things are yet to come.Less than a month after the Zhang family left the capital, many families who had close contacts with the Zhang family were relegated to varying degrees.Because the Jia family is related to Zhang's family by marriage, and Jia Daishan has a very good relationship with Zhang's father, it is naturally among them.It can be said that in one night, Zhang's status in Jia's mansion suddenly dropped, and the pressure that the unborn Zhang had to bear was not only that, the Zhang family changed, the old grandmother who loved Zhang passed away, the Zhang family left, Shi's mood can be imagined.
"...When my father talked about these things, he also blamed himself very much. In fact, he was about the same age as me at that time, and although he was the eldest son of the family, he was spoiled and spoiled when he was young. Yes, how do you know that those people have sinister hearts? At that time, something happened to Zhang's family, which involved the grandfather, and the old lady was also ill for a while, he was busy doing his filial piety at the knees of the elders, but he ignored my mother." Jia Lian looked at him with empty eyes. In front of me, he sighed a long time, "Father told me that he didn't have any feelings at all at the time, but he just felt that my mother always knew the general situation and was known for being virtuous, and she acted in a very proper way on weekdays. arrive……"
No one is a god, not to mention that Jia She was not that kind of extremely intelligent person, even if he was, he would not be able to figure out what happened next.
The Zhang family was completely defeated, and looking at the attitude of the Holy One at that time, I am afraid that there is no possibility of revival.Mrs. Zhang felt distressed. The servants of the Pianrong State Mansion were always the masters of stepping on the lows and hunting for the highs. Seeing the decline of the Zhang family, their attitude towards Zhang's gradually changed.What a smart person Mrs. Zhang is, but her temperament is completely different from Wang Xifeng's. She comes from a scholarly family, and Mrs. Zhang is also a good-looking person at heart. Although she has noticed some differences, she really does not want to lower her figure to teach her people.Especially at that time, Jia Mu was also sick, and Mrs. Zhang didn't want to disturb Jia Mu's purity.
If life is just like this, it doesn't matter.Thinking about it, no matter what kind of turmoil, it will be completely forgotten by the world as time goes by.But at this stall, something happened to Jia Hu.
In good conscience, Jia Hu's accident has nothing to do with Mrs. Wang.At that time, Mrs. Wang was busy taking care of the young eldest son and the eldest daughter who was still in her infancy, and she had to go to Jiamu's sickness from time to time. Even if she had some dissatisfaction with Zhang, she just turned a blind eye to it. .It's just that the whole Rongguo Mansion was busy with their own affairs, but no one noticed that Jia Hu, who was only five years old, left the maid and mother-in-law behind and made a fuss in the garden.Without paying attention, Jia Hu fell into the lotus pond in the garden.
"What?!" Wang Xifeng exclaimed, her face full of disbelief and shock.
Not to mention, such accidents may not be considered unusual in ordinary people. What kind of family is the □□Guofu?Not to mention the eldest son of the eldest son of the house, even the concubine and concubine daughter of any house, most of them are taken care of by servants.Just like Wang Xifeng herself, although her parents died when she was young, at most she didn't feel love and care when she was in the Wang family. Wang Ziteng and his wife never treated her harshly in terms of basic necessities of life.Wang Xifeng couldn't imagine that Jia Hu, who was only five years old, could run away from the maid and play in the yard, and even fell into the lotus pond.
"Brother Feng, don't you think it's unbelievable? When I heard my father say this at the beginning, I exclaimed just like you just now. Just like you said, how could people like us do this?" Allowing such an accident to happen? Let alone, I have been reminded of my fate since I was a child, and a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall." Jia Lian smiled bitterly again, "Of course, it may also be because of my elder brother's incident. Why are you treating me so harshly?"
"It's not a question of being strict or not. No, I'm a little confused. I mean, are those maids dead? They can't even look after a five-year-old child. What's the use of them?" Wang Xifeng simply She was so angry that she wanted to throw the table up. She had always been a hot-tempered person, and because of her past life, she valued her daughter Qiaojie very much.She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if this kind of thing happened to Qiaojie.
...Maybe he was so angry that he took a knife and hacked all the maids to death!
"Although the servant girl said she was a little careless towards my mother, she would not take her anger out on my elder brother. Although he was dumped by my elder brother, they chased after him. It was summer at that time, maid Among the mother-in-law, there are a few old people brought from Jinling, all of whom can swim. They rescued my elder brother from the water not long after."
"What then?"
"My elder brother choked on a few sips of water, caught a cold, and was shocked. However, the doctor who came later said that the problem was not serious, mainly because it was the dog days and he didn't stay in the water for long. Serious."
Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately his face changed drastically.
Since the situation was not serious, how could it become the state it was later on?Jia Hu...he's dead!
"Have you thought about it?" Jia Lian said calmly, "I have thought of what you can think of before, so I naturally asked my father. My father said that after my elder brother's accident, everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was alarmed. Naturally, those maids and mothers-in-law will definitely not escape this catastrophe. They were sold and sold, and some were sent to Zhuangzi. Apart from them, my mother cannot escape punishment, after all, she is responsible for taking care of our two brothers. .”
"Punishment...is justified." Even in a wealthy family like theirs, the children are all taken care of by the nanny, and there are many maids and women who follow.But in any case, the responsibility of caring for the children still falls on the mother.Just like, Li Wan helped take care of Sanchun before, if anything happened to any of Sanchun, Li Wan would take joint and several responsibilities.Not to mention, Jia Hu is Zhang's biological son.
"Yes, the punishment should be punished. My father said that when my mother heard that something happened to my eldest brother, she rushed out like crazy. She herself felt very uncomfortable! When she heard that the old lady was still If she wanted to punish her, she naturally didn't dare to say a word of rebuttal. Later, my elder brother fell ill due to catching a cold and was frightened, and she even stayed up all night to take care of my elder brother." Jia Lian said, his voice suddenly a little bit Choked up, in fact, he really didn't have a deep impression of Zhang Shi. From his only memory, he only knew that Zhang Shi was very kind to him, but he really didn't know exactly how.
"She is a good mother." Wang Xifeng said.
Jia Lian nodded heavily, and said in a very positive tone: "Yes, she is a good mother. Even though I don't remember her appearance much, I know she must be a good mother."
As a good mother, Mrs. Zhang, because she neglected to take care of her eldest son, caused her eldest son to accidentally fall into the water and fell ill. She was also very sad.In fact, for her, all punishments are inferior to the guilt and self-blame she feels towards her eldest son.Coupled with the things that happened before, Jia Hu hadn't recovered yet, but Mrs. Zhang fell ill.
Zhang was originally depressed because of her mother's affairs, and Jia Hu's matter was more like the last straw that overwhelmed her.She never recovered from this disease.
