Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]

Before evening, Jia Lian had already returned to Rongguo Mansion, and when he first arrived in the courtyard, he heard the first-hand news from Yu Ping'er.Of course, Ping'er was not a whistleblower, but he just felt that if Jia Lian knew the cause and effect, if Wang Xifeng took his anger out on him, at least he would be considerate.Unfortunately, Ping'er miscalculated one thing.

"Listen to Ping'er, Erlian's second grandma, are you in a bad mood today?" Jia Lian walked into the inner room with an evil smile on her face, approached Wang Xifeng, and said with a smile, "Come on, tell me, so that I can let you know." Be happy."

"Second Master Lian, are you busy? You're making fun of me again! Come on, I don't believe that quick-talking girl Ping'er won't tell you what's going on today. I see, sister-in-law Zhu is going to be in trouble." Wang Xifeng The expression on the face can never be called joyful, but there is not much worry or sadness. If you insist on saying it, it seems a bit embarrassing.

"That's what she asked for." Jia Lian took off her outer clothes on her own. Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly found a set of clean homely clothes to help him change, but she heard Jia Lian talk about something else, "No Said Uncle Lin sent a small box? Where is it? Let me see."

Wang Xifeng put Jia Lian's outer clothes on his arms, lifted the curtain and called out, "Ping'er, let someone prepare dinner." Handing the dirty clothes to Ping'er, Wang Xifeng went back to the inner room again.Just after hearing Jia Lian's last sentence, knowing that he didn't want to talk about Li Wan's affairs, he simply followed his will and took the small box that was left aside, put it on the table, and said, "That's it, call the name and say it's a gift." Second Master Lian, yours."

Jia Lian picked up the small box and weighed it in his hand, only to see that the unsealed parts on the edge of the small box were all sealed with wax, and he wondered, "What's the meaning of this? You really don't intend to let others see it? "

"If it wasn't for this, I would have opened it up a long time ago." Wang Xifeng betrayed herself without hesitation, and sat across from Jia Lian again, staring at the small box as if she was curious, and urged, "I've been looking at it for a whole day, Lian." Second Master, don't keep it a secret, open it quickly and take a look."

"Tsk tsk." Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng teasingly. Before Wang Xifeng came back to his senses, he suddenly straightened up and passed the little table, pulled a hairpin from Wang Xifeng's bun, and scraped open the seal on the edge of the small box. wax.Soon, the small box was opened, and all the items inside were exposed to the couple.Wang Xifeng originally wanted to say a few words about Jia Lian, but was distracted by the contents of the small box.

The small box is actually not big, only the size of two palms of an adult, and its thickness is no more than one finger. In addition to the original thickness of the wood, there really can't be too many things in the box.To be precise, there was only a letter and a stack of papers inside.

Jia Lian reached out and took the topmost letter first, but Wang Xifeng directly reached out and took out the stack of papers below.Jia Lian didn't take it seriously, in his mind, Wang Xifeng was still the blind man who didn't know a lot of big characters, but he didn't know that in his previous life, because of being a housekeeper for decades, Wang Xifeng already knew a lot of commonly used characters.

"Uncle Lin expressed his extreme gratitude to me." Jia Lian opened the letter and glanced roughly, but just said a word, but stopped.

Wang Xifeng wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Ahem, Uncle Lin said that he apologized to me for judging people by their appearances before..." Jia Lian gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, and then turned his eyes round to look at Wang Xifeng, "Brother Feng, tell me, what do you mean by that? When I went back to Yangzhou, I was afraid that my words and deeds would be criticized by him, let alone a cruise ship, I have never even been on the street! This, this, this... Humph!"

This probably means that Lin Ruhai misunderstood Jia Lian as a playboy who only knows how to ask for flowers?Thinking this way, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but nodded: "That's not wrong."

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng coldly for a while, then snorted, and continued to read the letter with her head down.Lin Ruhai's letter was not too long, only three pages in total.The first page expresses gratitude to Jia Lian, and apologizes for judging others by appearance; the second page plays the emotional card, talking about how he and Jia Min are in love, and vows that he will never remarry in his life. Even the concubines have been blasted away; the third page is much more interesting, but it entrusts Daiyu to Jia Lian.

"Brother Feng, what do you mean by Uncle Lin? I won't talk about it earlier, but what's wrong with him? Let me think about it. Uncle Lin should be about the same age as the second master, right? "

Wang Xifeng nodded blankly, then shook his head and said, "How do I know this? I have never met Uncle Lin before."

"I'm just talking about it. Last time in Yangzhou, I saw that he was about the same age as the second master. That is to say, Uncle Lin is less than half a hundred years old now." Jia Lian thought for a while, and couldn't help smiling bitterly, "It's only this age Baoyu is only eight years old after his birthday, and Brother Huan is even less than six years old. If Uncle Lin has a son under his knees, that's all. What is the meaning of this?"

"Maybe it's because of the love and righteousness for Aunt Lin?" Wang Xifeng guessed without sincerity, but in fact, at this moment, her heart was like a stormy sea, with various thoughts flying, and the past life and the present life were in a flash. Things got entangled and I didn't know why.

Jia Lian didn't notice anything strange about Wang Xifeng, so he took the letter and read it carefully from beginning to end.Except for the insignificant first two pages, the meaning of the last page made him a little unclear after all kinds of thinking.Even if Lin Ruhai had no plans to continue, there was no reason to entrust Daiyu to him, and...

"Second Master Lian, look at this." Wang Xifeng handed the stack of papers to Jia Lian with an ugly expression, "I think this should be Aunt Lin's dowry list when she got married."

"what?!"

Snatching the paper from Wang Xifeng's hand, Jia Lian flipped through it very quickly.This is a list that records countless rare objects. At the beginning are Zhuangzi, shops, and fields, followed by various antique jades, rare ancient books, and then all kinds of head jewelry, silk and satin, and finally the amount is as high as 20 taels of silver. box money.At the end of the list, in addition to stating that this is Jia Min's dowry list, there is also Lin Ruhai's own private seal, and a very famous old man in Yangzhou left a message to testify.

Jia Lian was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.Of course he knew that Rongguo Mansion was once extremely expensive, but since he was born he has lived a life of luxury and wealth, so he just thinks that Rongguo Mansion has never changed.It was only when he saw the dowry list of Jia Min when he got married that year that he suddenly woke up.

Did the Rongguo Mansion unknowingly go into decline?

"Second Master Lian, I have guessed something about Uncle Lin's thoughts, sir, do you want to hear it?" Wang Xifeng took a deep look at Jia Lian, but Jia Lian seemed to be shocked, and did not answer Wang Xifeng's words.After waiting for a while, Wang Xifeng continued on his own, "I guess, Uncle Lin is in some trouble, not like those small troubles in our house, but real trouble. It seems that, Uncle Lin had already had a premonition, and had no intention of escaping from the vortex of right and wrong. Instead, he chose to send Sister Lin away. Perhaps, even if I hadn’t suggested it at the time, Uncle Lin would have sent Sister Lin to Beijing. After all, the Lin family It has been passed down for several generations, and there is no one to rely on."

"That's not right!" Jia Lian snapped back to his senses, and retorted subconsciously, "Even if the Lin family has no close relatives, what about Uncle Lin's close friends? He has been an official for decades, and there is no one he can trust?"

"Shouldn't there be?" Thinking back on the events of the previous life, although Wang Xifeng was a little hesitant on the surface, he was already very sure in his heart.Don't you see that the Rongguo Mansion in the previous life swallowed the family property accumulated by the Lin family for several generations, and no one came forward to speak for the Lin family, and even Daiyu died in the Rongguo Mansion for no reason, and still no one stood up for her.Wang Xifeng thought, either Lin Ruhai didn't have a single close friend, or they were all dead.

"Okay, Brother Feng, you are right, but... what about our family? I remember you just said that the second wife was not good to Sister Lin, right? Or..." Jia Lian thought for a while before saying, " What did Sister Lin write in the letter to Uncle Lin? Uncle Lin didn’t even believe the old lady? If that’s the case, why not just take Sister Lin back, even though there is a rule in this dynasty that the eldest daughter does not marry without a mother. But not everyone cares about that.”

"First, as I said just now, Uncle Lin is in trouble. This trouble will not only kill him, but also affect his family. We can even guess a little deeper, maybe Uncle Lin The death of the youngest son and even Aunt Lin are all related to this trouble!"

Jia Lian gasped.

"Secondly, Uncle Lin is a man of integrity. Not only does he want to protect Sister Lin, but he also doesn't want to drag Xu Xian down. So he simply sent Sister Lin to our house, but he flatly rejected Xu Xian, and even sent away the concubine. , so as not to be implicated innocently."

"Thirdly, this so-called trouble may not only be related to human life, but may also be related to the Lin family's property. Let's think about it this way. Sister Lin didn't bring any valuables when she entered Beijing, but logically speaking , even though Uncle Lin is a pedantic scholar, but he has been an official for many years, how can he not understand the truth of the poor family? Let alone the money you entrusted to the old lady, it doesn’t count.” Wang Xifeng stopped Jia Lian from speaking, and said , "Comparing your heart to your heart, if sister Qiao must stay away from us today, will you bring some private money to sister Qiao, even if it is used to manage servants is good."

However, Daiyu has nothing.

Wang Xifeng clearly remembered that when Daiyu entered Jia's mansion in her previous life, there was only an old mother and a young maid by her side, but she brought a few packages, but they were all clothes that Daiyu had already made.Besides, there are only a few hairpins that Daiyu has worn since she was a child.

Too shabby.

In the previous life, Wang Xifeng only cared about taunting Daiyu in her heart. Although she heard that Lin Ruhai also asked someone to bring a bank note to Jia's house, it was true that Daiyu didn't have anything of value around her.In particular, Daiyu's funeral was arranged by Wang Xifeng, she knew Daiyu's family background.

But why?Wang Xifeng couldn't figure it out, if Lin Ruhai was just a pedantic scholar, it would be fine, but unfortunately, Lin Ruhai is a second-rank Yangzhou inspector and censor!Even if the ancestral property of the Lin family is not counted, the ice charcoal contribution Lin Ruhai receives every year alone is not a small amount.Especially since the Lin family is sparsely populated and there is no prodigal son like Jia She, why did Daiyu leave nothing behind?No, no, they should have stayed. After Lin Ruhai died, through the hands of Jia Lian, the Rongguo Mansion got a huge windfall of twenty or three million.But Wang Xifeng still couldn't figure it out, since there was so much money, why didn't they bring it to Daiyu?Regardless of the land title deed, at least it can be exchanged for silver or gold notes for Daiyu to take care of her?But Lin Ruhai never did that.Think about it carefully, there is only one reason...

The Lin family's property has long been targeted!

"Second Master Lian!" Connecting the previous and subsequent events together, Wang Xifeng couldn't help calling Jia Lian as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"What?" Jia Lian was startled, and looked up at Wang Xifeng, only to see Wang Xifeng's face was pale, and she was taken aback immediately, "Brother Feng, what's wrong with you? Aren't we still talking about why Uncle Lin doesn't like you?" Give Sister Lin some more money? But it’s okay, no matter what Uncle Lin thinks, the money of the Lin family has nothing to do with us, even Sister Lin... If Uncle Lin doubts and refuses to continue, the family property will also be left to Sister Lin and the imperial court. Let me think about it. I vaguely remember that a married woman can get two-thirds of the family property, and a married woman can get one-third. If Uncle Lin had prepared for it, he could transfer most of the family property directly As the dowry of Sister Lin, after a hundred years, let Sister Lin inherit one-third of the Lin family property."

Wang Xifeng closed her eyes, forcefully suppressing the panic in her heart.But she couldn't help it, but she still remembered the fact that the Rongguo Mansion was ransacked and exterminated in her previous life.Not only the Rongguo Mansion, none of the four major families ran away, but also those rich and noble families who had once been brilliant, even if the Holy Majesty had extra Kane, the only thing that remained the same was that all the money of all the families was poured into the treasury.

Traitor Emperor!

"Master, let's not bother with the Lin family's affairs. Don't worry, the second wife will no longer be against Sister Lin. Don't say that she is not feeling well now. Even if she is well, she is busy with Tanchun and sister-in-law Zhu. What's the matter? I won't offend Sister Lin either. In the future... In the worst case, I'll ask the old lady to marry Sister Lin early, and Uncle Lin won't object if I think about it."

Jia Lian was very confused, so she looked at Wang Xifeng, but Wang Xifeng's expression was very strange at this time, Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then you can do as you see, I don't have much opinion."

At this moment, Wang Xifeng only felt that her whole body was icy cold. It was clearly the beginning of summer, but she seemed to be still living in the middle of winter.Perhaps, what she should be thinking at this moment is not how to get Daiyu to marry earlier, but how to get Dafang out of Rongguo Mansion as soon as possible.

"Brother Feng?" Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng cautiously, and suddenly stretched out his hand to explore, but he was surprised that Wang Xifeng's fingertips were cold, and his face was even more colorless.At that moment, Jia Lian became anxious, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick? I'll tell Ping'er to call a doctor quickly. Ping'er!"

"I..." Wang Xifeng originally wanted to stop Jia Lian, but just opened his mouth, but suddenly felt that this might not be a good excuse.It can not only give her enough time to think about what to do next, but also avoid the dispute between Li Wan and Mrs. Wang.Thinking in this way, Wang Xifeng simply fell back and said weakly, "Second Master Lian, I'm afraid I'm really sick, so I'd like to trouble Second Master to go to Rongqingtang for me, just saying that I can't be here for a few days. She has done her filial piety in front of her."

"If you're sick, just take a rest. There's nothing wrong with the old lady." Jia Lian was in a hurry, jumped off the kang bed, walked to Wang Xifeng's side, picked her up by the waist, and carried her directly to the bed, "Remember, take care of her." Rest, you don't have to worry about other things."

When he said this, Jia Lian couldn't help thinking of the innumerable bad things about the second room during this period.Thinking of his elder brother, although he usually bears the reputation of not living up to expectations, there is nothing wrong with him anyway.Then look at the second room, they are uneasy all day long, but every time they have to drag their husband and wife into it, not to mention disturbing Qingjing, and now Wang Xifeng is so tired that he falls ill.Jia Lian couldn't help but secretly hated, and called Ping'er to come in to take care of Wang Xifeng. He didn't even eat dinner, so he turned around and left the courtyard, heading straight for Rongqing Hall.

At this moment, it is not yet time to say hello at night.When Jia Lian went, there wasn't even a meal on Jia's mother's side.Seeing Jia Lian coming without Wang Xifeng's company, Jia's mother looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why is Lian'er here today? But your father scolded you? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With the old ancestors around, no one will bully you." about you."

Jia Lian's footsteps stopped, but the hatred in his heart also weakened a lot.In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand that Mother Jia is partial to the second wife, but in fact, it's not obvious that Mother Jia has done so.At the beginning, he, Jia Zhu and other grandchildren were all raised under Jia Mu's knees. Generally speaking, Jia Mu's favorites should be Yuan Chun, who entered the palace in the early years, and Wang Xifeng, who occasionally came to live in the mansion.But when Baoyu was born, Mother Jia devoted all her attention to Baoyu, which made her seem more partial.But there is too much age difference between Jia Lian and Baoyu, but he will not compete with Baoyu, so in his mind, Jia Mu is still the old ancestor who loves him.

"Grandfather, no one bullies me, and the elder treats me very well." Jia Lian first spoke to appease Jia's mother, and then told about Wang Xifeng's illness.Perhaps it was because Jia Lian's mood had calmed down, and Jia Lian did not bring the slightest resentment when he spoke. Instead, he apologized to Jia's mother on behalf of Wang Xifeng, "Brother Feng said, when she gets better, I will come to pay my respects to my ancestors, please don't blame me." she."

"That's what you said!" Jia Mu repeatedly reprimanded, and then said with distress, "Oh, it's also my fault that too many things have happened during this period of time, and I'm tired of Brother Feng. Well, then, Lian'er, you go back and talk to Brother Feng. My son said, let her just rest in peace and recuperate, and leave the rest to others."

Jia Lian bowed respectfully to Jia's mother before leaving.Jia Lian didn't know that it was because of his words that indirectly changed Li Wan's fate.

Three days later.

"What? Second Master Lian, you said that the old lady sent sister-in-law Zhu to the west side courtyard? My God!" Wang Xifeng was half lying on the bed. She was not sick at all, but she was frightened by herself.After Haosheng rested for three days, her face was flushed red.Fortunately, the Rongguo Mansion was in chaos recently, since no one came to visit her, so no one exposed her faking illness.Of course, you don't have to be afraid when you come, just talk about a disease that can be transmitted to others, and those masters who want to come will retreat, but as for the maids, Wang Xifeng is not afraid.However, Wang Xifeng really saved a lot of trouble if no one bothered her.

However, Wang Xifeng never imagined that she only rested in the house for three days, and the outside world changed.

Jia's mother actually sent Li Wan to the west side courtyard... Apart from other things, there is Tanchun in the west side yard!Who is this trying to kill?

"Brother Feng, why are you still so impatient? Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Jia Lian suffered from Wang Xifeng's countless knives, but his face was full of contentment, "This matter Strictly speaking, it wasn't the old lady's idea, but the third younger sister volunteered."

Wang Xifeng fell silent.

According to the news that Jia Lian inquired, the cause of this incident was really Tanchun.Just two days ago, that is, the second day after Wang Xifeng "fell ill", the maid who Tanchun begged to deliver meals passed a message in front of Jia's mother, to the effect that she had a very impressive dream, it was a dream of dying Jia Zhu for many years.But Jia Zhu told Tanchun in a dream that because of his sudden death, he could not be reincarnated immediately, but could only stay in the underworld, suffering day and night.Thanks to Tanchun's prayers for Rongguo Mansion these days, he feels a little better, but Tanchun is just the elder brother and cannot help him reincarnate. The only people who can help him in Rongguo Mansion are his parents, wife and children .

Jia Zhu's parents are naturally Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Jia Zheng is busy with his official career, so he can't stay in the Buddhist hall all day long like Tanchun, chanting Buddhist scriptures and copying Buddhist scriptures.Mrs. Wang used to go to worship Buddha often, but as the head wife of Rongguo Mansion, even with Wang Xifeng's help, it is impossible for her to spend the rest of her life in the Buddhist hall, after all, she still has children and grandchildren.As for Jia Lan, she is still young now, and she will inherit Jia Zhu's behest in the future. How could she enter the Buddhist hall?

"So the third sister simply said clearly that she wants sister-in-law Zhu to come to accompany her in the Buddhist hall?" Wang Xifeng was shocked. She thought that Tanchun had finally grown up and understood, as long as she survived these three years and waited for the rain to pass. After the weather is fine, there will be good days.But what did Tanchun think?suddenly...

"Brother Feng, listen to me." Jia Lian shot Wang Xifeng angrily, and continued talking about the past two days.

But she said that when Jia Mu heard about it from her maid, she was shocked.Immediately, disregarding the fact that he was already old, he walked to Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Wang's room.It turned out that Jia's mother had a similar dream yesterday, but she also said that she was sleepy, and some things were not remembered as clearly as Tanchun, so she didn't take it seriously.It wasn't until he heard the words from the Tanchun faction that he was taken aback.

If the matter of exploring spring is the beginning, then Jia Mu will never end.Because Mrs. Wang burst into tears after listening to Jia Mu's narration, but said that she also dreamed about Jia Zhu.As soon as the three parties came together, Jia's mother immediately called Li Wan over and gave her a day to tidy up her things. The next day, she moved to the west side courtyard to chant sutras and worship the Buddha to save the dead Jia Zhu.

Li Wan...

"Pfft!" Wang Xifeng had just taken the teacup from Jia Lian, thinking that Jia Lian finally knew how to love his wife.But after hearing Jia Lian's words, Wang Xifeng spit out directly, coughing repeatedly, and said bitterly, "Second Master Lian, you definitely did it on purpose!"

To see her embarrassing on purpose!

Jia Lian clapped her hands and laughed, but her appearance was the same as that of Sister Qiao in the past when she watched other people's jokes.Wang Xifeng was so angry that she gritted her teeth again and again, and finally calmed down after a long time: "What should I say? It really deserves to be 'Isn't it true that a family does not enter a house'?"

Wang Xifeng sincerely admires these people who open their eyes and tell lies.However, after thinking about it carefully, she said: "So, maybe I wronged the third sister? It is said that the little maid was passing the message to the old lady, but who knows if it is true or not."

"Never mind her. In fact, what the third sister plans is not important at all. The important thing is that the old lady and the second wife are now joining hands to deal with sister-in-law Zhu. Hahahaha, how rare, Brother Feng, let me tell you Don't think the old lady loves the second master, but in fact she doesn't like the second wife at all. It's been so many years, maybe this is the first time they have teamed up? Tsk tsk, sister-in-law Zhu is so honored."

"I'm sure she didn't want the honor at all."

Not only did he not want it, Li Wan must be mad with anger right now?Thinking about what Tanchun and others said, it was clearly Jia Zhu's parents, wife and children.Jia Zheng didn't mention it, and it was impossible for Jia Lan to be sent to the Buddhist temple at an early age, but the remaining Mrs. Wang and Li Wan were all possible.If Mrs. Wang has children to take care of, then Li Wan also has young children to raise.But sometimes, truth only stands in the hands of those in power, just like what Jia Lian said, Jiamu has joined hands with Mrs. Wang, what can Li Wan do?

But no matter what, let Li Wan live with Tanchun...

Jia Lian obviously also thought of this question, and said with a smile, "Brother Feng, what do you think the old lady and the second wife think? Expect them to lose both?"

"Impossible. The old lady is partial to Baoyu, but she never thought of harming her descendants. Even if the third sister is just a concubine, the old lady would never make fun of her life. I think, since the old lady If you dare to do this, then you have full confidence." Wang Xifeng said firmly, "If you don't believe me, Second Master Lian, just watch."

"Why don't I believe it? Who is the old lady, and what is she Li Wan? Hmph, our grandma Zhu thought she came from a scholarly family, and she took the position of the eldest daughter-in-law and gave birth to the old lady. One's great-grandson... didn't bother to look at what kind of guy he was, but he got into it. Hmph, that is to say, the second wife has been eating fast and reciting Buddha suddenly in the past few years. A few years ago, Grandma Zhu The grass on the grave is as tall as a person! However, it’s not too late now, although I have kept my nickname, but I will spend the rest of my life in the Buddhist hall, what a feeling, tsk tsk.”

Jia Lian was in a pretty good mood, and even showed a bit of gloating on his face.On the contrary, Wang Xifeng couldn't bear it: "Second Master Lian, what are you doing? Those who don't know would think that you have a lot of hatred for her."

"She killed Big Brother Zhu, isn't that enough?" Jia Lian raised his chin slightly and raised his eyebrows to look at Wang Xifeng. Seeing that the latter was still a little dazed, Jia Lian suddenly said, "By the way, when Big Brother Zhu is gone, you It just so happens that you are going home to get married. I remember that in those one or two years, you never visited Rongguo Mansion even once."

"Yes, Er Ye, didn't you say it, I'm going home to get married. I'll do the math... By the way, after I was 15 years old, the Jia family formally proposed marriage to the Wang family. , Najib, etc., for almost two years, I never came to Rongguo Mansion. Until I was 17 years old, I married you, Second Lord Lian."

And Jia Zhu passed away during that period.

In fact, strictly speaking, Wang Xifeng and Jia Zhu were not very close.On the surface, she grew up with the brothers and sisters of the Jia family, but in fact, she is different from Yuan Chun who was raised in a deep boudoir, and also different from Jia Lian who had no intention of going to school since childhood. Enlightenment at the age of 13, and entered the Imperial College at the age of [-].That is to say, leaving aside the things after marrying into the Rongguo Mansion, before she got married, the only people Wang Xifeng was most familiar with were Jia Mu, Yuan Chun, and Mrs. Wang who often came to Rongqing Hall.For Jia Zhu, Wang Xifeng did recognize him, but he had almost no affection at all.This is also easy to understand, just like Daiyu is the cousin of Jia Lian and Baoyu, but no matter in the previous life or this life, Jia Lian and Daiyu only have a little face.

However, unlike Wang Xifeng, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu's relationship is very good. Even now, after knowing the second room's ulterior motives, Jia Lian is still unwilling to vent his anger on Jia Zhu.

And Jia Zhu is indeed admirable.

In fact, Jia Zhu is not a very talented person. In fact, his reading talent may be higher than Jia Lian's, but it is really not that high.But Jia Zhu is really hard-working. Others study hard over and over again, but he does it ten times and twenty times. He really perfectly demonstrated the saying that hard work can make up for one's weakness.Everyone talks about studying hard for ten years, but Jia Zhu was enlightened at the age of three and passed away at the age of 20. During these 17 years, apart from New Year’s Eve, only when Jia’s mother passed her birthday would she spare time in the daytime lay down.It can be said that Jia Zhu is the real scholar.

"Actually, I know very well where the gap between me and Big Brother Zhu lies. It's not talent, but attitude. I simply can't bear to stay in the study all day and night by myself, reading those dull and pedantic ancient books. So, when the second When the master came to ask me if I would like to give up the quota of the Imperial College to Brother Zhu, I agreed." Jia Lian smiled wryly.

It was the first time for Wang Xifeng to know about this matter. After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but said again: "What about the elder? Is he willing?"

"What is there to be reluctant to do? Don't look at him criticizing the Second Master in the study last time, but in fact he understands very well in his heart. Don't say whether I can become famous in the Imperial College. In fact, I can't at all. Go to the Imperial College. Do you think it is a good place? Yes, if you are a real scholar, it is indeed an excellent place, but for me, it is no less than a cage. From the beginning, whether it is me or the elder, it is He directly gave up this quota. Otherwise, with the temperament of the elder, he would give it up?"

It was because he knew that his only son had no hope that Jia She simply accepted the favor.It's really not that Jia Zheng forced this matter, and for the Imperial Academy, they are more willing to recruit Jia Zhu as a student. Leaving aside the talent for reading, it is impossible for Jia Lian to sit in the study for half an hour honestly, but Guozijian needs to study poetry and books for at least six hours a day.

"My dear Second Master, I also know that your relationship with Brother Zhu is very good, but this matter...can't be completely blamed on Mrs. Zhu?" Wang Xifeng judged others by himself, but why? There is also no reason why Li Wan harmed Jia Zhu.

Li Wan was born in a scholarly family, and she learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry and poetry when she was young, but she did not neglect other talents of women.For example, female red, such as three obediences and four virtues.Perhaps, Li Wan was a bit noble, but she would never harm Jia Zhu, and with Jia Zhu's temperament, Wang Xifeng could not imagine that someone would harm him.But if it wasn't intentional harm...

"At that time, you were not in the Rongguo Mansion, so some of the inside information was not clear. Later, Brother Zhu disappeared, and the old lady didn't want others to discuss too much, so the matter was covered up. However, I didn't know that at that time. When I was young, I remember many things, but I never told you."

According to Jia Lian, Jia Zhu was indeed "killed" to death by Li Wan.

At that time, Jia Zhu took Jia Lian's quota of supervisors and studied in the Guozijian, and Li Wan's father was the Guozijian Jijiu at that time.Although he didn't teach Jia Zhu directly, Jia Zhu was given extra "preferential treatment" at that time because he had a lot of contacts on hand.The so-called preferential treatment means that Jia Zhu is extremely harsh, and it doesn't matter if others do their homework wrong or not perfect.But if it was Jia Zhu, he would not be able to escape a punishment, even severe punishment in schoolwork.

If this is the case alone, then the problem is not serious.

However, Li Wan did something that seemed virtuous and virtuous at the time, but after the accident, he seemed utterly devoid of conscience.She gave Jia Zhu four concubines in a row, all of them were her dowry maids.Before that, Jia Zhu's house already had two housemates rewarded by Jia's mother, one house house rewarded by Mrs. Wang, and a good concubine volunteered by Jia Zheng's daughter.

"She really..." Wang Xifeng was speechless.As a jealous woman, she really couldn't understand Li Wan's state of mind at that time, or from the perspective of interests, it wasn't completely incomprehensible.

Just think about it, the housemaids given by Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang must have been before Li Wan married, and Jia Zheng's daughter probably entered the house after they got married.But no matter what, facing a room full of Yingying and Yanyan, can Li Wan feel at ease?It doesn't matter if she has never been pregnant, Jia Zhu still respects his first wife very much.But what if the first wife is pregnant?Jealous like Wang Xifeng, didn't she also open Ping'er's face after pregnancy, what can Li Wan do?Rather than let the concubine next to him be favored, it is better to show face to his dowry maid.

Was this what Li Wan thought at the time?

Of course, if Jia Zhu has been living well, it may really become a good story about a wife, a virtuous concubine and a beautiful concubine.Unfortunately, Jia Zhu died.Whether he died because of the heavy homework of the Imperial College, or because of his weak constitution, or because his wife neglected to take care of him...

In short, with Jia Zhu's departure, Li Wan has changed from a not-so-caring daughter-in-law in Mrs. Wang's eyes to a murderer!

Obviously, Jia Lian also thinks so.
