Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Jia Zheng was stunned by Zili's words, he stared at Zili, his forehead started to sweat, and the silent breath was entrenched in the tent, Jia Zheng and Zili wanted to hear their breathing, but their hearts were spinning countless times idea.Jia Zheng's surprised eyes gradually faded away, replaced by loneliness: "This marriage has wronged you, if you really want to leave, I will tell my father tomorrow to tell you to go back to the capital first. Let’s talk about it, I’m worried that the old people of the two families will get angry when I bring it up suddenly.”

Originally, Jia Zheng's expectation for marriage was just to marry back a woman like his sister-in-law Zhang, who didn't expect any noble background, could know a few words and do housework, and had a less difficult personality.In the end, when the dust settled, Jia Zheng seemed to have won a big prize. He thought that he only needed an affordable housing, which was not too big, but he could live in it, but God gave him a super luxurious villa with a wave of his hand. With luxury cars, nanny and security guards are fully equipped.The pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head. After getting married, Jia Zheng felt dizzy in his head, thinking that he was in a dream.Unexpectedly, after floating in the sky for a few days, he was still smashed down by reality. *Si lived in the big villa, but unfortunately the villa is not willing.Zili is so beautiful, her personality is so cute, her family background is so good, the most important thing is that Zili could have the best future, a woman who almost could be the queen of the mother world, but in the end... He can only guard the youngest son in the duke's mansion whose future is uncertain.This gap would be unacceptable to anyone.

Good dreams are always short-lived, Jia Zheng reluctantly accepted the harsh reality, Zili would not stop at his small pond, he would always look for a better harbor.

When Jia Zheng was downcast and felt that the world was gloomy and his life was hopeless, Zili was also shocked by Jia Zheng's answer!Ah, it seems that the way to open it is wrong.Jia Zheng's inquisition and anger did not appear as she expected, and she proposed to go home, but this bastard agreed, is my mother so bad?You're tired of me in just one month?Zili wished he could take a mirror and take a good look at it to see what went wrong.

The two of them froze in place, Zili lowered his head depressedly, his sobbing became louder, Jia Zheng seemed startled, he quickly wiped Zili's face with a silk cloth, and patted his back with smooth hands. Dare to stop.Zili slowly recalled that they had gone astray, and Jia Zheng was motivated by inferiority, thinking that Zili disliked him and had no future, but in fact Zili just didn't want to be passively beaten, and wanted to pull the team to start a counterattack.

Suoga, that's how it is. It almost made me think that something was wrong. Judging from Jia Zheng's attitude, he still cares about himself very much. Since you fell for the bait, I will not be polite.The fish took the bait, so Zili decided to check the harvest immediately by throwing the pole. "It turns out that you disliked me. In that case, I'll go home immediately tomorrow!" Zili wiped away tears and forced out a sentence.

dislike?Jia Zheng felt very bitter in his heart, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked up at Zili: "Heaven and earth conscience, if I have the slightest dislike for me, I will die. It's just that you have any plans when you go back?"

"What are your plans? Who told my eldest sister to do something like that, which made people think that my family has a bad family tradition, so I cut my hair and went to be my sister-in-law!" Zili pushed Jia Zheng angrily: "You will drive me away!" What are you still doing here?" Jia Zheng was stunned for a while, his eyes sparkled, and he grabbed Zili's hand to push him, it turned out that Zili was angry about Ziqian.

"You were angry because of this. Your sister is not sick. She invited countless doctors, took medicine, and made wishes to no avail. In the end, she gave up her life and entered Buddhism. Your sister is also a poor person, and you are still angry because of this. The people in the family, especially those women are hateful, so you don’t have to take it to heart. If you have any grievances, just tell your mother and ask her to come forward and make decisions for you.” Jia Zheng completely believed Jia Daishan’s explanation and statement, although facing the Wang family The ending of the eldest girl is a bit regrettable, but thinking about it, if Ziqian hadn't left, he would never have anything to do with Zili in his life.Deep down in his heart, Jia Zheng even felt a little grateful to Ziqian.

Zili was so angry with Jia Zheng that he laughed, this guy was either really stupid or pretending to be stupid.She glanced across at Jia Zheng with a half-smile: "Second Master is playing tricks on me." If you don't take it like this, everyone else is a fool! "Second master didn't hear the rumors at home, so he still pretended to be confused?" Zili told Jia Zheng exactly what the old lady said on the first day of marriage, and now how the servants in the family secretly talked about it. .

Hearing Zili tell the truth about Ziqian, Jia Zheng stared at her in disbelief, his hands were trembling, Jia Zheng was not a fool, let alone a fool, he knew that the servants in the family were muttering bad things about Zili .But Jia Zheng thought that it was all good things done by his sister-in-law Zhang. Zili was born better than her, had a larger dowry, and when he married, the wedding was more beautiful than her. These were all the reasons for Zhang's jealousy.Unexpectedly, things were more complicated than he thought, Wang Ziqian was not dead, and she had eloped with another man before she became a monk.Feeling deeply grateful from the bottom of his heart, Jia Zheng felt that the world was so magical, everything was like a dream, if Ziqian hadn't been kidnapped by a servant, Zili would not have lost the chance to enter the palace, if Zili hadn't entered the palace , she will not be his wife now.Jia Zheng almost laughed, thank you Ziqian and Hu Liangren so much, you are really my great matchmakers.

You can still laugh, since I am also indiscreet in the eyes of your family, why are you still relying on me!Hurry up and write me a divorce letter, I'll go home right away!The smile on Jia Zheng's face annoyed Zili, she shook Jia Zheng's shoulder angrily, and her voice became fierce.The people outside were alarmed after all, and they said loudly outside: "Second Master? But something has happened!" Jia Zheng made a comforting expression to Zili, and begged for mercy to Zili: "Go out, I will Don't worry, Second Grandma comes in and take a look." Qing Yun went out sullenly, listening to Qing Yun's footsteps fading away, Jia Zheng fawningly took Zili's hand and put it in his arms: "Grandma, don't be angry, I'm Thank you God for being kind to me, allowing me to marry you, grandma is confused, she always listens to the wind and rain, and the old man becomes confused after hearing a few gossips when she is old."

Listening to Jia Zheng's words, Zili raised her eyebrows. The old lady of Jia's family has a temperament of firecrackers, but who is the person who lit the fire and fanned the wind? "Although my sister was not entirely to blame for that incident, it was a family ugliness that could only be concealed. At first my family thought it was well concealed, but Eunuch Wei, who was next to the emperor, knew about it. It was my grandfather who was kept in the dark." In the dark, I didn't prepare until the moment before the emperor summoned you thanks to your father's advice. How did the old lady know about such a secret?" Zili twitched and pulled the silk from Jia Zheng's hand to wipe his nose.

This—Jia Zheng was silent.Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty had absolutely no control over Jinling Weaving's official duties and Jia Daishan's daily dealings.If Jia She heard some rumors to sow discord in front of his grandmother, Jia Zheng was a little unsure if it was his elder brother who was behind the scenes.The only ones left are the father and mother. If the father is not satisfied with the atmosphere of the Wang family, he will not ask the Wang family to get married again, and he will not attach so much importance to Zili's entry.So the rest is - Jia Zheng resolutely vetoed this idea, the mother always loved the child, and was so kind to the sister-in-law, let alone Zili.Since they got married, Jia Zheng greeted Jia's mother, and Jia's mother always told Jia Zheng to get along with Zili well and not to bully her or anything.The mother has a generous heart and loves the younger generation, how could she say those words in front of the grandmother.Jia Zheng fell into deep thought, and after a long while managed to squeeze out a sentence: "I am afraid that this matter was passed on by the servants around my father, so the old lady will take it to heart. I will talk to the old lady tomorrow and tell her not to embarrass you. gone."

Zili tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him playfully. Ever since they got married, in Zili's eyes, Jia Zheng was a friend with benefits and a roommate in the same dormitory. What a couple for a lifetime, what a husband and wife have the same heart are all castles in the sky, just joking That's all.But what Jia Zheng said, I will go to the old lady tomorrow and tell her not to embarrass you, and Zili was inexplicably moved. Although Jia Zheng is sullen, he was taught three obediences and four virtues since he was a child, which is absolute to his elders. obey.He was able to tell Zili what he had to say to the old lady, which was the greatest courage he had shown.

"I'm relieved to have a word from you. The old lady already understands what's going on, so don't make any more trouble. It's just that I'm dragging you down and telling you to follow others. What is it? I'm sorry for you!" Zili covered his face with a handkerchief and sobbed.She needs to win allies, and she is alone in Jia's house, so she can only defend passively.After a few days of cold observation, Zili has already been able to tell the old lady about Ziqian's incident and the incident of her missing out with the grandson Liangdi. Most likely, it is Jiamu. of.Mother Jia appeared in front of everyone in Jia's family with a face of loving the younger generation. Everyone praised Mrs. Shi Shi for being lenient and loving her children. The old lady was completely made empty.But in the harmony, there is always an undercurrent. The old lady and Jiamu seem to be like that. Anyway, now that the old lady is really the old lord, she can't control anything in the Rongguo Mansion. Taking care of his life, he turned a blind eye to everything, and became like a memorial tablet.

Mrs. Zhang smiled at Zi Lipi, but Jia She and Jia Zheng drifted away from their brothers. Mrs. Zhang, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Zili all held on tightly to Mother Jia and stared at her. He acted with winks, lest he would offend the backer and be indifferent. In this way, Jiamu became the real center of Rongguo Mansion.Zili just didn't want to make Jia's mother fulfill her wish. How could she, Shi Shi, release ghosts and dance to the gods? She did a good person and dug a hole for others to dance.

That's why Zili vented her dissatisfaction tonight, showed her grievances, and tested Jia Zheng's attitude.Hearing that Zili didn't want him to argue with his grandmother, Jia Zheng heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing Zili crying just now, Jia Zheng also blurted out those words in a heartbeat.Although he felt a little regretful as soon as he said it, looking at Zili's moved eyes, Jia Zheng didn't regret it that much anymore.Hearing that Zili didn't want to worry about it now, Jia Zheng said lightly, "Don't be angry, you're going to lose your temper in vain. I'll tell my mother tomorrow that those people in the family are too reckless, and the elder sister-in-law is in charge. She always I want to imitate my mother's reputation for being generous, but it turns out that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, and the family rules are messed up. I told my mother, I just ask you to learn how to be a housekeeper." Jia Zheng believed in his heart that everything was the elder brother's What a joke, he suddenly came up with an idea, since the servants at home watch people order food, why not call Zili the butler, the rumors will naturally be solved.

Zili glanced at Jia Zheng unexpectedly, thinking to himself that Jia Zheng is not a young master who knows nothing about the world. "Do you want to harm me or help me? My sister-in-law's housekeeper is justified. You think that in the future when your eldest brother becomes the prince, she will be the rightful wife of the country. Naturally, she will take care of this family. We will leave here one day, Youdao It's a big tree that attracts wind. If I were the housekeeper, let's not talk about what the old lady and the old lady think. You call the elder brother and the elder sister's face there. In the future, you brothers will always support each other. How will you get along after you have a grudge in your heart? Is he the elder brother? As a younger brother, you have to listen to your elder brother and wait until the elders are gone. We will always be unreasonable." Zili knew that Jia Zheng and Jia She had been competing for favor. It was Jia She who tricked him behind his back, and now with Zili's incident, Jia Zheng's heart has nailed Jia She to the target of the number one enemy!

Hearing Zili's words, Jia Zheng suddenly faltered. After thinking about it, he would not be able to stay here forever without his elders. Brothers always have to separate.No matter what, Jia She always has a hereditary title, but as for himself, he has no merits now, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future. "I'm the most useless person in the world. It's a shame that you follow me." Jia Zheng held Zili's hand like a discouraged ball.Could it be that he can only be at a disadvantage in the contest with his eldest brother?

Zili stretched out his hand to touch Jia Zheng's dog's head, and comforted him: "It's better to rely on yourself than anyone else. If you study at ease, God will not treat you badly. Even if you take ten thousand steps back, you didn't get a good grade in the exam, but neither did my brother." It's the same. It's nothing to donate to an official, as long as you manage it well, you can get ahead. Even if you are disgusted with the hypocrisy of the officialdom, it would be great for us to go back to the countryside for poetry and wine as companions." Zili patted Jia Zheng: " Don't worry, I'm not angry anymore, and instead recruited you out."

Jia Zheng listened to Zili's words, and looked at Zili with his dark eyes moved. The circles of his eyes turned red, and a few drops of cat urine almost fell out——oooh, Zili is my bosom friend An.She didn't force me to study, nor forced me to be an official, she didn't dislike living a comfortable and free life with me.Every scholar has an idyllic dream in his heart. When Jia Zheng was studying, he also had an infinite yearning for Tao Yuanming's idyllic poems. If it weren't for his strict father and loving mother, he would really hide in the countryside to entertain himself with poetry and wine.

Qingyun was lying in the dark. It was extremely quiet in the middle of the night, and every sound was very obvious. The chirping voices of Jia Zheng and Zili inside had stopped, and it had already passed the third watch. At this time, there was no movement at all inside. Grandpa and Second Mistress are already asleep.The second master and the second mistress didn't know what they were talking about, and after talking for most of the night, Qing Yun wanted to go in several times to inquire, but unexpectedly, he was kicked out by the second master.Second Mistress sent Second Master out to rest tonight, and Qing Yun was still looking forward to having a good time with Jia Zheng.Unexpectedly, her enthusiasm was blown away by Jia Zheng's indifference.Qing Yun turned over on the bed, wrapped the brocade quilt tightly, her face was cold and wet, and she realized that she was crying.

The next morning, Mother Jia looked at Zili who was standing in front of the old lady and made the old lady laugh, and said with a smile: "Today I am late, but the daughter-in-law of Zheng came early."

The old lady pointed to Zili and said to Jia Mu: "She saw me coughing a few times yesterday, and she brought Sydney stewed bird's nest this morning. She is really a caring child. You are also a mother-in-law. Seeing that your sons are getting married Well, maybe next year you will be able to hold a grandson. You don’t have to come to me every morning to say hello, just ask the juniors to take care of you.”

Mother Jia was startled slightly, then smiled and said: "The old lady loves me, I dare not break the rules."

"I know your filial piety. It's just that filial piety is not filial. You are not young anymore. You don't have to get up early every day. Let's rest first. I am used to getting up early, and I don't feel it when I get old. On the contrary, you are too tired to benefit from it, so please pay your respects later." The old lady was in a good mood and postponed the time to greet her.

Jiamu looked at Zili calmly, and agreed.After a while, Mrs. Zhang and Jia Min also came, and everyone chatted for a while. The girls set up tables and served breakfast.

The old lady sat alone on the top seat, Jia Min sat with her at the bottom, Zhang's Zilihe stood beside the old lady to give way, and Jia's mother entered the soup. The old lady said to Jia's mother: "You are also a mother-in-law. In the future, I will be with you. Let me have dinner together." Said the girls moved the chairs and put them in the hands of the old lady.Zili busily brought bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of Jiamu, while Mrs. Zhang picked up food for Jiamu and served her mother-in-law to eat.

Jiamu sat down and smiled at the old lady: "The old lady is in a good mood today. I don't know what happy event it is. Why don't you tell us to make us happy." The old lady pointed to Zili and said: "I used to I am so confused, thanks to Zheng’s daughter-in-law reminding me, you have served me for many years, and you should be told to rest. There is no reason for a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to stand together.” Jia’s mother was slightly surprised, the old lady was not very good Waiting to see the girl of the Wang family, why did she suddenly change?
