Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Seeing the crying and sad nephew, Zili and Jia Zheng looked at each other, "I am really an orphan without parents now. I mentioned my mother's things with my father, and I was scolded. It's not that I ran so fast that I might get hit on the head. I've given up on it now, why didn't you tell me to die with my elder brother and mother, and don't get angry here." Jia Lian's body was dripping with If he hadn't dodged quickly, Jia Amnesty's inkstone would have hit him on the head.

Seeing his nephew like this, Jia Zheng could only sigh: "It's all because of your destiny. You are a man. You know that a good girl doesn't wear wedding clothes. Naturally, your biological mother's dowry should be given to you." , but you can't just rely on that to live. If you can't study well, I won't force you to study. You should have a job to make a living and settle down in the future. Although you don't ask you to honor your ancestors, you can't rely on your ancestors The second generation ancestor who eats. What are your plans for the future." Jia Zheng's plan is to ask Jia Lian to fight on his own, he can't be relied on by anyone.

Jia Lian hadn't imagined it to be so far-reaching. Growing up in this environment, Jia Lian didn't realize that food, clothing, housing and transportation would not come for nothing in the future. He only thought that the food grew from the kitchen and the money was taken from the warehouse. Yilai stretched out his hand and rice came to open his mouth, there was a girl waiting on him, and a servant followed him to pass the message when he went out, but he never thought about how these things came from.When Jia Zheng said it, Jia Lian was a little disappointed that his uncle would not help him get his mother's dowry from his father.Jia Lian knelt on the ground dejectedly and said helplessly, "I'm not as smart as brother Zhu, and I don't have a good network." An errand or something.

Zili looked down at Jia Lian for a while, and she even began to regret marrying Sister Feng to Jia Lian.Can such an incompetent man be able to afford the future family? It is said that Sister Feng is greedy. If she is not greedy, can Jia Lian support their small family? Will their sons and daughters have money for education, education, and dowry? "You are also a person who is going to get married, and because of this matter, you are moaning so much that people look down on you. Although you can't say that you grew up as a rare treasure, you are surrounded by women and girls holding statues It’s like a baby. I have worked so hard to grow you up. Think about how many people of your age are working hard for their own food and clothing every day. You are doing this for your mother. The dowry you left is crying, and your mother will die of anger when she sees her son so worthless in the sky. Let me ask you, do you know how much your mother’s dowry is?"

"Well, I don't know the exact number. I thought there would be about [-] silver, not counting the clothes and headgear. If you count it, there should be [-] gold, probably around [-]. I don't ask for it. Come, I'm here to look good in the marriage. I can't be fooled by my daughter-in-law pointing my nose and saying that our Jia family is empty-handed and nothing can be done." Jia Lian didn't expect to be scolded by Zili, he was a little stunned and soon Then he recovered his eloquence and tried his best to find excuses and reasons for himself.

"You did a good calculation, it's about 1000 yuan, but do you know how much money you spend a year?" Zili didn't wait for Jia Lian to speak and asked the girl to bring the account book: "The girl next to you, the old lady outside The servants, the horses in the stables, and the monthly expenses of the servants cost more than [-] silver in a year. There are also your own expenses. You are still studying, and the expenses are still small. After you get married, you will have a sum of money. Thirty thousand silver is just two years’ worth of money for communication. You have thought that after getting married without yourself, you will have a wife and children, and whether the children need to spend money when they grow up. The thirty thousand silver left by your mother is enough What are you doing? You are a person who is going to start a family and start a business, and you are still thinking about that idea, worrying that if you don’t have the money, your wife will overwhelm you. I think you think so, not only your wife but also others will look down on you for the rest of your life!” Zili Angrily, he threw the account book on the table and ignored Jia Lian.

Jia Lian's face became hot, and his voice lost his righteousness just now, and he became hesitant: "I know, but I really can't find a way out. My uncle and aunt have always loved my nephew, so I beg my uncle and aunt to give me some advice." There is a way out. I will work hard in the future, and I will respect you like my uncle and aunt as my biological parents."

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Lian and was really touched. He looked at his nephew kneeling on the ground and suddenly remembered that when he was young, he was about the same age as Jia Lian, and his daily life was muddled. Although he was different from Jia Lian, He is studying hard, but Jia Zheng is also in a state of confusion about his future plans. "Forget it, it's all the result of you not studying. I discussed with your father, donate money to your background, and find a job for you if there is any shortage. You should learn to do things when you grow up." Jia Zheng made up his mind to find a job for Jia Lian and do it first, and let's see his own fortune later.

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Lian immediately became happy. He kowtowed to his uncle and aunt and said joyfully, "I will do my best in the future and don't let my uncle and aunt worry about it."

"Help Lian'er up, let me talk to the old lady, only the old lady can take care of this matter. Don't be happy, I think you don't understand what your uncle means, you will never be like a child again, If you mess around every day when you are full, you should also think about your own responsibilities. I know that you feel sorry for Feng girl and want to give her a decent new house. Feng girl also has her heart on you, and she doesn't care about you. How many private houses, how many furnishings she gave her, what she cares about is your heart, and whether you can protect her from the wind and rain in the future. Even if you are struggling now, you should let Feng girl see some hope and let her know you He is a man who can be trusted for life." Zili looked at Jia Lian, and sighed silently: "If your biological mother sees her son grow up and marry a wife, she should be gratified in heaven." Jia Lian savored Jia Lian carefully. Zheng and Zili's words suddenly brought tears to his eyes.

"I'm so big, and no one has ever talked to me so confidingly. I will keep the teachings of my uncle and aunt in mind. In the future, I must make a good appearance to reassure my mother and make my daughter-in-law happy." Jia Lian wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief , he no longer had the depression and loss he felt when he came out from Jia Amnesty, but instead had a glimmer of hope.

After all, Mother Jia knew that Jia She took Zhang's dowry and refused to give it to Jia Lian, so she called Jia She and Mrs. Xing to scold Jia She angrily. Donated a Juren to Jia Lian, and Jia Zheng was looking for connections to find an errand for Jia Lian in Dali Temple to settle down in advance.

Jia Lian's marriage was waiting to be married on an auspicious day, and Zili immediately focused on Jia Zhu's marriage.Finally, Li Wan was not married in, and Zili felt a big stone in her heart. Although Li Jin had a good personality and good looks, the fly in the ointment was that she hadn't received much serious boudoir education.In the future, when Li Jin becomes Grandma Zhu, she will definitely face the problems of how to manage the housekeeper, how to manage the servants, and how to deal with the complex interpersonal relationships of the big family.

Just when Zili was thinking about how to train Li Jin, Jia Zheng brought the news that Lin Ruhai was going to Beijing to report on his duties. Jia's mother immediately became happy. and granddaughter.
