Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

In the next few days, Zili didn't see how Jia Zheng told Jia's mother about Daiyu's arrival, because something happened to Xue's family. o(╯□╰)o, Xue Pan beat someone to death, Aunt Xue Zimeng was very anxious, and Zili was also a little anxious when she received her sister's letter. In recent years, the emperor has been very disgusted with the corrupt and lazy government. He dealt with several officials heavily, and Zili didn't dare to openly make connections even at the cusp of the crisis.

When Zili was worrying, Sister Feng said nonchalantly, "Ma'am, why did you forget that now the Yin in Jinling Mansion is Jia Yucun, who was recommended by the master at the beginning. He used to be sister Lin's teacher, because Uncle Lin dragged us down. I didn’t expect him to be promoted very quickly, and he became the governor of Jinling in a blink of an eye. In fact, without my wife opening her mouth, Jiayu Village will naturally take care of it.”

Zili was a little confused and hurriedly asked, "Why didn't I know when it happened!" If she knew that Jia Zheng still recommended Jia Yucun, she would be crazy, this ungrateful villain!Sister Feng laughed and said, "My wife has a lot of things to do every day. Uncle Lin wrote to the master when Ding You just came home. That Jia Yucun also came to our house and met the master. The master said he was good. At that time, the wife was busy with the house. In fact, this is the practice in the officialdom, everyone is like this, the emperor will never pursue it again. And we didn't say anything, it was Jia Yucun who wanted to release him, what does it have to do with us Ma'am, just rest assured that nothing will happen."

Sister Feng suddenly remembered to say to Zili: "The old lady asked to find out some things from the past and said they were for Miss Lin. I think that means she is going to ask Miss Lin to choose another place to live. Madam can rest assured. .”

When Jia Mu changed her mind, Zili was a little surprised, and then asked: "Really, did the old lady say how to settle down with Lin girl?"

Before I finished speaking, I heard the girl come in and say: "The wife and the second grandmother are here. The old lady is calling, so let's go there together." You are here, and I need your help with something." Seeing the spring breeze on Jia Mu's face, Zili was a little surprised, and she was busy humbly saying: "If you have anything to do, just tell the old lady, I am a daughter-in-law. It should."

"Your Uncle Lin wrote in a letter saying that Yu'er's mother is not in good health, and she can't get away from coming to the capital to be with her daughter. After all, parents are only planning for their children. His Uncle Lin wants to ask you to help raise Yu'er Who told you to give birth to the birth mother of the crown princess? He just asks for your advice, so that it will be even more beautiful when the girl talks about others in the future. What do you think?" Yuanyang next to Jia Mu said, holding a letter to Zili .After reading the letter, it was indeed Lin Ruhai's personal letter. Lin Ruhai said very modestly that he was causing trouble to the Jia family, and then changed the subject, saying that he and Jia Min had only one biological daughter, Daiyu, in his eyes.When she was in her hometown, she was also the jewel in the palm of her parents. Jia Min was very reluctant to be separated from her daughter.But he couldn't handle it alone, and Jia Min couldn't get away to the capital to stay with Daiyu.So Lin Ruhai entrusted Mother Jia to take care of Daiyu with thousands of words.

Then Lin Ruhai changed the subject, saying that Daiyu is a girl after all, and she will always get married, because her mother is not around, so she will inevitably lack in the girl's upbringing, and it will be difficult to hear the matchmaking in the future.Lin Ruhai praised Jia Zheng, saying that Jia Zheng's sons and daughters are all promising, and since Daiyu lives in her grandfather's house, please worry about her second uncle and aunt.He will definitely repay his kindness in the future.Lin Ruhai also specially used Jia Min as a cover, saying that her daughter would be honorable if she married well and became a mother in the future. There was no reason for Jia's mother to disagree, so she asked Zili to take Daiyu with her.

"I know you have a lot of things to do. I thought it would be better to ask Yu'er to live here and study with you every day." Jia Mu observed Zili's expression and proposed her own plan.

As soon as Zili heard this, she knew that Jia's mother loved her granddaughter very much. The aunt was not related by blood, and she was afraid that the girl had been wronged.She smiled: "Since the old lady is like this, I will naturally obey."

"You were very kind to Min'er back then, so now she can trust her daughter to you." Mother Jia's face was full of smiles, and she was still a little worried that her daughter didn't care about Zili who was devoted to her. How do you appreciate it, should you shake your face or shake your face.This time, she begged to come to the door, and the old lady was a little worried that Zili would vent her resentment towards Jia Min on Daiyu.Originally, she resisted Lin Ruhai's request at first, but she couldn't stop Jia Zheng from hinting in front of her that if he wanted to marry the Lin family, he should show his sincerity.If Jia Mu and Jia Min's plans were followed, regardless of whether the two children were brought together at any time, regardless of the defense of men and women, Lin Ruhai felt that the marriage was useless when he was angry. The head of the Lin family was Lin Ruhai. , he said exactly what he said.There was no need to annoy him, so he sent his daughter to the palace directly.If the Jia family can show sincerity, cultivate Baoyu well, and sincerely treat Daiyu as her own daughter, Lin Ruhai will try to disqualify Daiyu from being elected, so that she can calm down and talk about marriage with the Jia family.

When Jia Mu heard Jia Zheng's words, she was immediately happy. The decision to choose a daughter-in-law for Baoyu was originally in the hands of Jia Zheng and Zili. She and Jia Min discussed matching Daiyu and Baoyu. One is to appease her daughter, and the other is for herself.After marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting her mother, Baoyu now knows how to be filial to himself. It is because he is still young, and he will marry a daughter-in-law when he goes out to be an official. Maybe even his parents will be left behind, and his grandmother will be left behind went.If Baoyu married a daughter-in-law who also grew up in front of him, the young couple were childhood sweethearts, and they were also very filial to her grandmother.It's just that Lin Ruhai is hiding it from Lin Ruhai, and Jia's mother is not sure whether the marriage will be successful.Now that Jia Zheng said this in person, Mother Jia felt relieved.The marriage between Daiyu and Baoyu has become five points.

She didn't feel dissatisfied with the idea of ​​testing Zili today.Jia's mother was very happy, and looked at Zili very pleasing to her eyes.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped for a while, and Jia Mu suddenly remembered something: "I was in a daze listening to Rong'er in the mansion over there talking about the marriage. Do you know the news is accurate? It's the girl from that family."

Speaking of which, Rong Ge'er's marriage was really laborious, many wealthy families in the capital rushed to say goodbye, but Rong Rong'er just didn't like it, even his parents let his temper mess around.It's not that the girl from this family is not good-looking, or the girl from that family has never been educated.It's really embarrassing.In the past few days, I heard that there are some clues. I saw a girl and said that it was Brother Rong who fell in love at first sight and swore to marry her as a grandmother.Sister Feng often chats and jokes with You Shi, and she is very clear about things over there.

"Amitabha, there is a clue. I am worried that Rong'er's marriage will be delayed if she continues to be so picky. Whose girl is it? I have seen it." Interested, whose woman is picky Jia Rong is dead set.

"This girl's family background is not good. Her father is just a low-ranking official. He works as a clerk in the Ministry of Industry. He seems to be called Qin Bangye." Sister Feng frowned slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction with the woman's background.

Zili originally listened to Jia Rong's gossip, but the reputation of Ningguo Mansion was not very good. Before Yuanchun became a princess, there were very few people who came to Ningfu to propose marriage to Jia Rong.There has never been a lot of snobbery. Waiting for Yuan Chun to become a princess, the Jia family will become more and more prosperous, and more people will come to Ningfu to propose marriage.It turned out that Zili was still wondering where the unlucky girl was married to by her powerful parents.It seems that there is really no need to worry about those innocent girls.The trajectory of fate is still strong, and no one can shake it casually.Qin Keqing, this strange and mysterious woman is about to appear.

After listening to Sister Feng's words, Mother Jia frowned in dissatisfaction. Youdao married a daughter from a high family. Naturally, marrying a daughter-in-law is a bit lower than her own, but this Qin family is also too low. "Zhen'er is also messing around, let her son mess around. The Qin family is too low. Although it is said that the most important thing for a daughter-in-law is her character, but she came from a poor family and has no knowledge." Jia Mu shook her head to express her dissatisfaction with Qin. The family background of the family, the capital is a place where just throwing a stone can hit a third-rank official. The Qin family used to be unknown, with no background and foundation. After they got married, they said that the eldest grandson and daughter-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion turned out to be from a poor family. Girl, don't let people laugh at you.Others thought that there was something wrong with Jia Rong or that the Ning Mansion had fallen and no one was married to them, so they just found a random girl to be the housewife's grandmother.

"I saw that brother Zhen and sister-in-law meant that they were very satisfied with the girl from the Qin family. Brother Zhen said that girls from other families can't catch up with her. She said that she is good-looking, gentle in action and has a very good personality. Anyway, In his mouth, it is the same as the fairy in the sky, there is nothing wrong with it. Although the old lady is worried, it is justified, but it is the matter over there, let's wait for the newcomer to enter the door." Wang Xifeng said to Youshi Jiazhen Qin Keqing was full of curiosity. There are so many good-looking girls in the world. Just because of their good looks, they can sit on the seat of Ning Fu's grandson's wife. There must be other advantages.

Zili was very confused, so he just kept silent.Mother Jia sighed and stopped talking. Sister Feng saw that the sky was cloudy again on Mother Jia's face, and hurriedly changed the topic to make Mother Jia happy.

In the evening when Jia Zheng came over for dinner, he looked at Zili absent-mindedly and hurriedly asked: "Is it because the old lady still refuses to give in? I wrote a few letters to my brother-in-law earnestly, breaking things down clearly. I think He should also think about his daughter." Jia Zheng thought that Jia's mother still insisted on binding Daiyu and Baoyu together, and Zili was worried about this.

"It turns out that you are behind the operation. Even if the old lady is stubborn, Uncle Lin is also a sensible person. The old lady told me to teach Lin girl to teach me, so I won't be cautious. Sister Lin followed The old lady lives. I thought about going to the palace one day and asking the princess to ask Baoyu to go to school, just move Baoyu out. It’s not good for Baoyu to be a boy and always hang out in the inner curtains. I want to kiss him for a few days. It's probably because he was greedy to play with the girls." Zili said that he would sometimes need to move out to Yuanchun to do things.

"That's right, I'll bring Baoyu myself! Let's see what he can do. By the way, when will your sister come to the capital? The Ministry of Rites has already started to check the list of candidates for girls. There will be an audition in the spring of next year. Your sister When will you bring your daughter to the capital?" Jia Zheng asked about Xue's daughter's election.

"Don't talk about waiting for election, I have something to tell you." Zili beat Xue Pan to death, and the governor of Jinling Prefecture was Jia Yucun's words: "Feng girl told me to rest assured that Jia Yucun would definitely look after him. We settled the lawsuit for the sake of face. But human life is at stake, and he dares to disregard human life as a parent? What kind of officials are you recommending! Such a bold person will have trouble sooner or later. When the time comes, the emperor will pursue it and you will Follow those who are implicated."

"This incompetent child, really—" Jia Zheng's face changed when he heard what happened to Xue Pan, but he was his child and Zili's nephew, so Jia Zheng could only complain in his stomach. As for whether Jia Yucun would implicate him, Jia Zheng hadn't thought about it before, but after hearing Zili mention it, he was also a little uncertain. "It's his own fault, just don't worry that we won't be involved." Zili knew that Jia Zheng's words were meant to comfort her and had no practical meaning, so she sighed and said in a low voice, "It's better to plan ahead. This Jia Yu Village—"

Zili took advantage of the opportunity of visiting his daughter in the palace to tell about Baoyu. Yuanchun had long thought that his mother had given birth to their three children.As soon as she heard Zili's words, she immediately agreed.A few days later, Yuanchun asked someone to come out and tell Baoyu to go to school to study hard and not waste time, and also ordered Jia Zheng to teach him well.Jia Zheng and Zili stood respectfully listening to the eunuch's message.Before Daiyu came to the capital, Zili moved Baoyu out and put it next to Jia Zhu's courtyard, and asked Li Jin to help take care of it.
