Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

As for what Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen said, no one except the parties involved knew, but since Jia Zhen returned from the Rong Mansion that day, her temper was not very good, and she used her servants to vent her anger from time to time.Some people said that Uncle Zhen was angry with the fourth girl. Uncle Zhen said to his sister that Miss Bao of the Xue family would definitely help the family when she became successful. If it was someone else, she might not know.The fourth girl got angry, and satirized her brother in front of the old lady and his wife. Although Jia Zhen was angry, it was better to be serious with her younger sister.So I can only come back and vent my anger on the servants at home.

Some people said that it was Uncle Zhen who saw the growing prosperity of the Rong Mansion and was sour in his heart, angry at Uncle Xiaorong for not being able to live up to expectations, that's why he made such a fuss.Some even said that they were angry because Grandma Xiao Rong was not well.There were so many different opinions, which made everyone in Jia's family afraid to go to Ning's mansion easily.Zili just smiled at those rumors and ignored them at all. After being beaten by Jia Zheng, he should restrain himself, but Jia Zhen felt uncomfortable thinking that there was someone in Jia's family who could suppress him.

Baochai will enter the palace in a few days, and Aunt Xue couldn't stop crying as she watched her daughter board the palace carriage and gradually go away. Zili pulled Aunt Xue's sleeve and said in a low voice: "You It's inauspicious to cry at that time." Aunt Xue held back, watching the car disappear in front of her eyes before returning reluctantly.Zili was really pitiful looking at Aunt Xue. Speaking of Baochai, she flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, but it was not as good as marrying a daughter from an ordinary family.The happiest day in a woman's life is her newlyweds, but it is a pity that Baochai, the happy bride, has no chance.

Watching Xue Pan follow her mother dejectedly, Zili suddenly realized that Xue Pan had become more sensible recently.She said to Xue Pan: "Now you are the only one left in the family. You are a man and you have to take responsibility. You can't be self-willed in the future, you have to live with your mother well, you know." Xue Pan nodded to his son. Li arched his hands and said: "Thank you aunt for your concern. I have understood these few days. My mother is only my son. If I am still as ignorant as before and make my mother sad all day long, am I still a person? I have something Ask your aunt for help."

Zili was a little surprised when he heard Xue Pan's words, he hadn't seen Xue Pan mature for a few days. "Just say what a family of relatives can't ask for." Zili was curious about what Xue Pan asked of her.

"The day when the new silk comes out this year is coming. My uncle told me to go and learn how to do business. At the beginning, our family also started from the raw silk business, but I didn't know anything. How will we start a family in the future? So I want to go to I will ask my aunt to take care of my mother when I go to the south for a few days." Xue Pan bowed to Zili and begged her to take care of her mother.

This is a good thing, with your uncle taking care of it, there will be no mistakes.Don't worry about your mother, I will take care of you.Be careful not to stir up trouble on the road, don't drink and mess around.Zili told Xue Pan to be careful on the road, Xue Pan smiled and said to Zili: "I want to go with brother Shixiang, his teacher has been sick recently, Shixiang wants to go home and have a look, we must not go together Something will happen." Listening to Xue Pan mentioning it, Shixiang's tone seemed to admire this little cousin.Shixiang has a calm temperament, and Xue Pan can still have a restrained person, so Zili agrees.

Zili comforted Aunt Xue for a while before coming over. As soon as she came back, she saw the girl from Jiamu's side and said, "The old lady asked the lady if she is free. If you are free, please come over." Zili was a little puzzled by Jiamu. What is this time called.

She hurriedly changed her clothes and went to Jiamu's place. Jiamu first asked Baochai if she had left. After hearing Zili say that Xue Pan was going to the south to do business and entrusted him to take care of Aunt Xue, Jiamu sighed and said, "I'm sorry." Seeing that Baochai is much better than her brother, if she is a boy concubine, I can rest assured. Since your brother is willing to help out this nephew, it is good. I have been idle for a few days, and suddenly remembered our girl, don’t Girl Bao is not a few years younger, so it's time to plan for their lifelong events."

Is Jia's mother going to tell Sanchun about her husband's family?Zili thought about it and said to Jia Mu: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't ask about the second girl and the fourth girl. They both have brothers and fathers. What can I say as an aunt? The third girl is still young. Although she is not I raised her, but she is also my daughter. Her birth mother doesn't matter, but in the end it will hinder the child's important affairs, and the master and I have to bother." Zili expressed that he would not express any opinion on Yingchun and Xichun's marriage.

"You're right. I love my grandchildren the most. They can't be careless about their lifelong affairs. But the girls are still young, but it's Baoyu who has three disasters and eight disasters. How good is it? When you come and go, you're getting older. Are you going to What should I do?" Jiamu kicked the ball to Zili.It turned out that Jia Mu's whole circle was to make a fuss about Baoyu.Zili laughed to herself, Mother Jia just remembered Baoyu's future life now, why didn't she think about it when she scolded Jia Zheng, although Jia Zheng had a little too high expectations and strict requirements for Baoyu, but the starting point was good.Jia's mother made her son look bad in front of her grandson, but she didn't say to Baoyu in a disguised form: "Don't be afraid, your father dares not teach you! You play and make trouble as you like, and I will support you." No wonder Baoyu has nothing to worry about. Jia Mu is his backer.

"The old lady loves Baoyu. We are parents. What the master means is that Baoyu is still young. At the beginning, he criticized the horoscope in the temple and said that this child should not marry early. Besides, he is still studying and distracts the child. Baoyu's Weak, it's not good to get married at a young age, it's better to wait a few years for Baoyu to study and have a clue, then it's nice to talk about getting married. There are many well-matched girls in the capital, so don't rush for a while." Zili took Jia Zheng As a shield, play Tai Chi with Jia Mu.

"Look at Miss Lin and Baoyu. I'm not selfish. Girl Lin and Baoyu have known each other since childhood, and now they live together again. Her character and appearance are both good, which is much better than the unknowing daughter-in-law chosen outside. Min'er also showed her willingness, you have always liked Lin girl very much, it is better to settle this matter earlier." Jia Mu suddenly proposed to settle Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage, Zili was surprised. Okay, wait a few years to talk about it?It was what Jia Min meant. Although Zili was surprised, he still kept his mouth shut: "Let the master and Mrs. Lin discuss this matter. Baoyu's temper is too irritable. Although he hangs out with his sisters all day long, the two of them often Bickering and arguing. They're still kids."

Mother Jia wanted to be the first to win, so she communicated with Jia Min first, saying that both Daiyu and Baoyu had feelings for each other, and Jia Minyuan in Yangzhou naturally believed everything Jia Mu said.Seeing Jia Mu's heart, she wrote back to Jia Mu asking her to propose marriage to Zili and Jia Zheng, and she went to discuss with Lin Ruhai to settle the marriage no matter what.Jia's mother planned to force Zili to agree, and forced Zili to agree to the marriage. Who knew that Zili would not let go, but moved Jia Zheng out first.Seeing that Zili refused to give up any ground, Jia Mu could only say helplessly, "In that case, you go back and discuss it with Baoyu's father."

At night when Jia Zheng came over for dinner, he saw Zili's expression was bad: "You look bad today, is your niece entering the palace, are you worried about her?"

Zili slowly said what Jiamu said today: "I don't know what the old lady thinks. If she insists on matching Baoyu and Miss Lin, she might not know how to tell third sister. Waiting for third sister and Lin Uncle rubs it off. Waiting for Uncle Lin to agree vaguely, he will definitely blame us for plotting against their Lin family when he sees Baoyu with his own eyes. Is this a marriage? It’s an enmity. By the way, Shixiang wants to go home, Pan’er and Let him go to the south together." Zili and Jia Zheng said that Shixiang wanted to go home.

"It's really a crime in the previous life. Baoyu has half of the world, and I can close my eyes in peace. Baoyu has been wandering all day long relying on the old lady's words, and she doesn't go to class. Today, Baoyu's husband and I asked for leave to go home. What can I say, my son is not a malleable talent, so I wasted my husband's efforts, it is better to choose a student with good qualifications and hard work, who can live up to my heart." Jia Zheng complained to Zili, Baoyu's Careless and unconventional.

When Jia Zheng and Zili were sitting opposite each other and worrying, they suddenly heard a commotion outside: "You guys are going to die, what's the point of being so noisy!"

"It's not good, Grandma Xiao Rong wanted to commit suicide over there, but fortunately, someone found out. Now there is a mess over there, and the world is turning upside down. Grandma Zhen sent someone over to ask my wife to find a pill to calm the nerves." Said a woman Zi follows the autumnal equinox.Seeing that it was Youshi's wife, Zili asked, "Why do you want to commit suicide when you're so good? Didn't you say it was better a few days ago?"

Ever since something like that happened, Sister Feng has found excuses to refuse to go there, and Sister Feng has listened to Zili's advice and stopped being brave and started to take care of her body. The good news finally came out a few days ago, and she has even more excuses not to visit Qin's Now, although Mother Jia still said she loved Qin Keqing, she was not as good as before.There was very little news from the Qin family over there. "My wife is talking about a few days ago. Grandma Xiao Rong's illness has not recovered these days. There was such a scene today. She went out alone when the girls were not around. She was seen by others. At that time, she was holding a sweat towel and was going to hang it on the tree. Now she has been rescued, but Grandma Xiaorong became crazy, full of nonsense, and only wanted to seek death. Everyone said that she was sick and was besieged by evil spirits. For the invasion, Taoist priests who catch ghosts and monks who recite scriptures have been invited. Our grandma came to ask my wife for an anshen pill." The woman talked about Qin's suicide attempt.

Qin Keqing didn't die!Zili couldn't tell whether it was regret or other emotions, she was slightly startled when she saw Jia Zheng shaking his head slightly, which seemed to be a pity.How many people in Jiajia, Ningrong and Rongfu are looking forward to Qin Keqing's death.Zili asked Qiufen to take out the pills and hand them to the woman: "You go back and tell your grandma to be serious, why don't you ask an imperial doctor to have a look, invite some Taoist monks, and make the world know about it? I'll tell the old lady, The old lady is old, don't scare her old man."

Qin Keqing did not die, and the Taoist monks Jia Zhen invited to exorcise the evil spirits also left quietly.Hearing from Zhou Rui's family who visited in the past, Qin Keqing became much quieter after all the troubles. When she went to visit, Qin Keqing's speech and behavior were much better than the weak and terminally ill appearance when she was sick. "What can a person fail to see clearly after experiencing life and death. After all, it is someone else's business. There are still many things in front of us. Shixiang has all the things ready to go, who will follow?" Zili She is not in the mood to take care of Qin Keqing's affairs, she has a lot of things to do.Yuan Chun is going to give birth in a few months, and Zili will be able to enter the palace to stay with her daughter for a period of time in another month, and Li Jin is also going to give birth. Who cares about the stall?

Zili is now busy getting things done at home first, so as not to be in a hurry when the time comes. "Well, madam, why don't you ask Ms. Lin to help the housekeeper? Although she is my wife's niece, she is the favorite of the old lady. Who dares to say nothing. Besides, Ms. Lin has studied with my wife for a long time and knows the way of family affairs." Zhou Rui's family recommending candidates to Zili.

"You have a good idea. I'm just worried that only Miss Lin might be too conspicuous. Why don't you ask Sangirl to help me?" Zili decided to give Tanchun a chance to practice after thinking about it.

Just when Qin's health was getting better, Zili packed up her things and went to the palace to accompany Yuanchun.After moving into the East Palace, Zili discovered that Baochai had become a new nobleman in the palace!As soon as she entered the palace, she accepted En's bedside service, and in the next few months there was a tendency to favor her exclusively!

Yuan Chun was naturally happy to see his mother coming, and after waiting for things to be cleaned up, Zili was finally able to sit down and talk to his daughter.Yuan Chun's fetal gas is stable, and he hasn't gained much weight. His face is full of happiness of being a mother soon. The mother and daughter say goodbye first, and then the topic changes and it's commonplace: "Bao girl is a good girl. I thought she wouldn’t be so conspicuous based on her personality. But I didn’t expect her to be what she is today.” Baochai’s character is a person who doesn’t like to be in the limelight, even if she is competing for favor, it won’t be so obvious. Now Baochai has become a hot new favorite. unexpected.

"Mother has always seen things thoroughly, why is she confused? Now there is no Bao girl, it is Xue Xuan, and even I have to be afraid of her. If mother sees her, she must be careful." Yuan Chun's eyes revealed Feeling cold, she lowered her voice and said to Zili: "Mother, be careful and stay away from her. Does mother know how she owes her kindness? It's shocking to say it. Now I'm most worried about the Queen." Empress, she is a bit angry."
