Prequel to the Red Chamber: I Am the Second Wife

Naturally, the Dongchuang incident happened, and it was rare for Zili to see the embarrassment and anger on Jia's mother's face. Half of her anger came from her underestimation of Zhang's stupidity, and the other half came from her anger at Zili and Jia Zheng's failure to follow the rules.Originally, she had predicted that Mrs. Zhang would not help prepare the birthday gift smoothly, and would definitely make Zili feel sick. Even if Zili had a heart for the city, she was spoiled and raised, and she didn't have so much heart. I will definitely run to myself to complain.At that time, Mother Jia will once again establish her absolute authority in the Jia family, making Zili know that she is the one who has the final say in the Jia family, and making Zhang Shi understand that just because her housekeeper is the housekeeper does not mean that she has become a member of the Rongguo Mansion. Owner.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang was too stupid and didn't know how to handle it well. She almost threw the Jia family's face to the Wang family in the capital. Standing at the pinnacle of morality.The murdered mother of Jia was complained by her husband, and the Wang family was in full swing, and the two families almost had conflicts as soon as they got married.Seeing Zili standing in front of her silently paying her respects, Jia's mother felt depressed, but she was the one who was in the wrong, so she had to lower her voice, "Your sister-in-law is a fool. Don't take that matter to heart. I have already taught her a lesson." As Jia Mu breathed out, she said weakly, "I, as a mother-in-law, have become a show, and there are only two daughter-in-laws in total."

Zili immediately raised her head and said: "Actually, sister-in-law is right, but she is too pedantic and doesn't know how to adapt. Every family has its own rules, how can I change the old rules just because I am a newcomer. I heard the servants at home say that there are rules for giving gifts when meeting relatives on their birthdays. My selfishness is naturally eager to give my natal family a generous gift. But I can’t break the rules so that others will think that I am selfish The sister-in-law is either wrong, or deceived by the servants. Tigers still have time to take a nap, let alone us mortals. Madam, don’t blame yourself, it’s all right anyway, don’t make any more fuss, everyone can’t be quiet. Especially Now it's the Chinese New Year, and we need to be harmonious." Zili made a nonchalant gesture, telling Jiamu not to worry about it.

"You are such a generous child. If you put it on someone else, you may be in trouble now. Your sister-in-law came from a small family. You don't have much experience. Don't be angry with her. I asked someone to transfer a sum of money from the account room and count it as you." It's time to fill the nest of birthday gifts." Jiamu was quite satisfied with Zili's humble attitude.Even if Mrs. Zhang was daring, she wouldn't directly stand on the opposite side of Zili and make her look bad, so she hinted that she didn't dare to be so bold.Zili is not a fool, she can lower her eyebrows and express that she will not pursue it, which means that Zili has recognized Jiamu's absolute authority.Now that the goal was achieved, Mother Jia relaxed a little.There can only be one mistress in a family, and her hard-won rights cannot be neglected!

"My wife still dislikes me. My grandfather is my real grandfather. I should buy birthday gifts for my grandfather. Although I don't have much money, those things don't cost much. They were cultivated in the flower room of my ancestral home. Flowers, and my grandfather likes fresh things. My family and Xue’s family are also family friends. I sent someone to ask them to help find some western novelties. It won’t cost much money, and my wife will settle accounts with me. Isn't that slapping me in the face in front of everyone?" Zili naturally wouldn't want Jia Mu's money, she was implying that although the Wang family is far away in the capital, she is not alone in Jinling, there is no one to rely on. The few family relatives and family friends are taking care of them in Jinling.

"You are still sensible, and you are sweet. I have already wronged you, and I can tell you to spend money. Your money is just the dowry of your natal family. How can you tell your wife to take the dowry to give gifts to her natal family. Since you don't want Yinzi, I will give you some good things. Even Zheng’er has never seen these things before, so I will ask someone to find them and give them to you.” Jia Mu said as she took a mother-of-pearl black lacquer box from her side and opened it to see what was inside. It is a whole set of gold gadgets, such as gold thread inlaid sachets, small scissors, ear picks, nail clippers and small combs, all tied together with thin gold chains, which can be hung on the belt.

Zili looked at the delicate workmanship, and some small pieces were inlaid with various jewels, so he couldn't help laughing: "It's so delicate, I've never seen such a delicate five-piece set."

Jia's mother looked pale: "This thing is older than me. It was left by Zheng'er's grandfather. At that time, the old man had a lot of things, and he didn't take them as good things. I remember the old man Grandpa Guo brought back a few boxes of gold and silver wares, and there are more exquisite ones in them. I found this one out today and I will play with you."

Zili heard Jia's mother talk about the origin of this thing, and couldn't help but hehe in his heart. Jia Zheng's grandfather got it, and the previous generation of Rong Guogong made great achievements in battle. This thing probably got it from the flames of war.

Jia Zheng stared at Qing Yun who was kneeling on the ground and felt more and more disgusted. He waved his hands impatiently: "Get up, why are you crying! Could it be that you have been wronged? I can't tell. Since your grandma begged for mercy, I will Don't pursue it anymore. Do your job well." As he spoke, Jia Zheng picked up a book and sat under the window.

Qing Yun was choked up crying, the pain on her body was no longer severe, but the wound in her heart was dripping with blood. When she came to serve Jia Zheng, everyone said that she was diligent and honest, and Jia Zheng could say to her She is obedient and obedient, and the maids and women in this house also respect her very much, one sister at a time, the girl called out.Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng got married in a blink of an eye, and she felt that Jia Zheng's heart for her was getting weaker day by day. Jia Zheng's feelings for her were like sand in her hands. No matter how hard she tried, the sand still passed away bit by bit. .Seeing Qing Yun kneeling on the ground like a stone carving, Lang Huan froze there motionless, and couldn't bear to step forward to support her: "We are slaves, and it's normal to be scolded for doing something wrong. The second master is not in a good mood. Who else can we vent our anger on? Don't pretend to be a young lady and feel wronged here, and cry carefully, this mother will scold you." A slave is not allowed to cry in front of the master, even Qing Yun and Lang Huan. You can't cry in front of your master.

Qing Yun glanced at Lang Huan dully, and struggled to get up, Lang Huan winked at the little girls, and immediately two little girls stepped forward to help Qing Yun out.Jia Zheng's ears are clean, he didn't read a single word in the book, now Jia Zheng's thoughts are all on Zili, the Zhang family can no longer be the housekeeper, the housekeeper's responsibility falls on their second room.Thinking of Jia Amnesty and Zhang's panic-stricken appearance, Jia Zheng couldn't help but start bubbling in his heart. The eldest brother wanted to overwhelm himself in everything, but now it turned out.He failed that time!

While Jia Zheng was in a daze, the voice of the little girl outside pulled Jia Zheng back: "Master is here, our grandma is not at home." Jia Zheng was jolted, he stood up for a second and entered the fighting mode.Is the eldest brother here to find fault?Jia Zheng went to the outer room and saw Jia Amnesty coming in with a grunt, "Your second master is a nobleman with a lot of work. I'm an idler, so I'm annoying everywhere." Jia Zheng took a few steps forward and faced Jia. She said respectfully: "It's rare for elder brother to come to my place, so hurry up and serve tea." He took Jia She's hand and asked him to sit on the top seat.

Jia Amnesty didn't refuse either. He sat down angrily and cocked his feet: "Your sister-in-law has done something wrong, and I don't have any glory on my face. You and your siblings are generous people. Don't be as knowledgeable as her. I came here to make a plea. I just beg you to forgive your sister-in-law for the sake of our mother and compatriots. If you are still angry, how about I ask her to come over and make amends for you?" Jia She said in his mouth. What he said was an apology, but there was no apology at all in his tone and expression!Obviously the goods are not right!Bad reviews!Jia Zheng felt suffocated by his elder brother's apology, but he still had a smile on his face: "What did the elder brother say? My sister-in-law was just deceived by the people below. Even if that incident is over, my wife is still a fool." If she has a big heart, she won't take it to heart. We are brothers, and we still care about what to do."

Hearing Jia Zheng's words, Jia Amnesty felt that he had face. He snorted, and dragged Jia Zheng to complain for a long time. Why did he delay himself by marrying Mrs. Zhang?Mrs. Zhang is still a dull and boring person, facing her is like facing a big stove, and if she can't say a few words, it's like running away.Jia She changed the subject, looked at the decorations in Jia Zheng's room, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Your brother is very lucky, the Wang family is the emperor's confidant, what are you still reading all day, just ask the old man to arrange a seat for you That's it. After a few years of qualification, you can become a third-rank official."

Hearing his brother's words, Jia Zheng couldn't hold back his face, and changed the subject with a dry laugh: "I don't think I have that ability. The imperial examination is the right way. It depends on God's will for what will happen in the future. By the way, the day when the elder brother and his sister-in-law get married is not good. It’s too short, why is there no movement?” Jia Zheng purposely joked about Jia Amnesty’s weakness, hoping to invite Jia Amnesty out quickly.

Being stabbed in the heart by his younger brother, Jia Amnesty's mouth twitched, and he stared at himself to find reasons: "It's all because of your sister-in-law's disappointment! There is still no news of getting married for so long." Jia Zheng deliberately pretended to be naive: "Actually There are quite a few people in my brother’s room, or there is a mismatch, or there is something in the way. In my opinion, it’s better to choose a few more people.”

Before Jia She got married, there were two maids in the house who were messing around with the other maids in his house. When Mrs. Zhang entered the house, they were only fresh for a few days.There are more and more maids around Jia She, but it's a pity that the stomachs of those people are not moving.A man is most afraid of others doubting his ability. Jia She immediately shifted the responsibility to Mrs. Zhang: "She wants to be strong herself, but she insists on the housekeeper refusing to recuperate. Your daughter-in-law is capable, and I want to ask her to help your sister-in-law." point."

Just as they were talking, the little girls ran in happily, and said to Jia Zheng, "The madam is now called the housekeeper of the second grandma." Before he could say a word, Jia Amnesty's face turned pale like a pig's liver.
