[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

Mrs. Wang nestled in the Rongxi Hall, listening to Zhou Rui's family complaining in front of her that her man's work was gone, and she couldn't live through this day.

Zhou Rui himself is a servant of the Jia family. After marrying Mrs. Wang as a dowry, she devoted herself to Mrs. Wang. Because she has been in charge of the farm all these years, she has often fished for her own family.

But now that the errand is gone, naturally there is no money to be made. Originally, he wanted to wait a little longer, but instead of waiting a second, he saw Mother Jia slowly sweeping away Mrs. Wang's confidantes.

Zhou Rui and his wife were in a mess right away, besides, Jia's mother took advantage of Zhou Rui's family and beat her up and down. Although Zhou Rui's family is a money lover, compared to Jia's mother, she is still more toward Mrs. Wang, helpless Mrs. Wang has been very quiet during this time, Zhou Rui's family is really in a hurry, if this continues, there will be no room for her in the mansion.

Mrs. Wang heard her nagging so much, she squinted her eyes and sneered: "What's the hurry! The old lady should go out today!"

Zhou Rui's family nodded and said: "Go back to the second wife, the old lady went out early in the morning, and I heard that she went to the palace with Princess Nan'an to see Princess Zhen."

Mrs. Wang changed her posture and said, "I can't blame the old lady for this matter, it's because you and your wife are too big-hearted."

Zhou Rui's family became anxious when they heard this, and said: "Second wife, please save me. The old lady said that if the account is not settled this month, she will bring my man out to question him."

Mrs. Wang saw her look so eager to make a fool of herself, she immediately reprimanded: "What are you afraid of! The old lady is a face-saving, so she will scare you by saying this."

Zhou Rui's family saw that Mrs. Wang was still like this, thought for a while and said, "Second Madam, it's not that I don't like what I say, but that the old lady's posture may have other ideas now."

Mrs. Wang got up abruptly, looked at Zhou Rui's family and said: "What nonsense, I don't know what the old lady is thinking, it's just for saving face. Now let's do what she wants, and it will be fine in a few days."

Zhou Rui's family still had to talk about it, but Mrs. Wang looked at her anxious face and said, "How much have you been greedy for?"

The faces of Zhou Rui's family turned pale, and they said timidly: "Second wife, you also know that my son was kicked out by Lian's second grandma a few years ago. He played at home all day and had no real business. My daughter married a A scholar, even though he can read a few words, he is not very capable, but a few years ago, he emptied his family and opened an antique shop for him."

Zhou Rui's family looked at Mrs. Wang, saw that she was silent, and went on to say: "I think the grandson of the housekeeper Lai donated a small official a few years ago. I heard that he is a county magistrate. He still has a yard in his house. The pavilion he built The towers and pavilions are so beautiful." Speaking of this, Zhou Rui's family secretly glanced at Mrs. Wang, saw her looking at him with cold eyes, and immediately squeezed out a smile and said: "Of course, I don't dare to compare with Mr. Lai, butler. The man in my family opened an antique shop with the second wife all these years."

Mrs. Wang cast her eyes away from the teacup, and Zhou Rui's family immediately brewed tea, and the fragrance of tea immediately wafted in the room.Mrs. Wang picked up the teacup and blew it lightly, and said: "This is the new tribute tea Biluochun this year, and it was delivered by the little eunuch specially sent by the empress yesterday."

Zhou Rui's family was listening, and said with a smile: "The second wife is so lucky!"

It's not that Mrs. Wang doesn't want to take care of Zhou Rui's matter, but Mrs. Wang will never make a move unless she is in a dangerous situation. Mrs. Wang has seen Zhou Rui's greedy money all these years. Although she didn't say anything on the face, she knew it was greed It's too much.Zhou Rui's family just mentioned the situation of Lai everyone, so she also has the courage to say it?The Lai family has been serving the Jia family since the beginning of Jia's fortune. Lai Da and Lai Er are the housekeepers of Rongning and Ning respectively.What's more, his family's yard is also built in an aboveboard manner. Didn't he invite the old lady and Baoyu to come and play there?

It's not like Zhou Rui and his wife are doing these sneaky things to get money.

Zhou Rui's family stood by. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was only drinking tea and didn't speak, she didn't dare to say anything, so she just stood aside and worried.

Mrs. Wang looked at her dowry and thought that she was loyal to her all these years, so she coughed and said, "I agree with the old lady's checking of the accounts, but not only the farm, but also the rest of the place. , not only to check but also to check carefully. You go back and make up for the missing money, and if you can’t make up, you will issue an IOU."

Zhou Rui's family was overjoyed when they heard this, and said with a smile: "Second wife is a good idea, who in our house does not make money, it's just..."

Mrs. Wang glared at Zhou Rui's family, and Zhou Rui's family was the most eunuch, and said with a smile: "I'll do it now, and I have to make up for this loophole."

Seeing Zhou Rui's family leave, Mrs. Wang sneered, flicked the invisible ashes on her sleeves, and lay on the couch contentedly, like a middle-aged lady.

But it was said that Mother Jia went to the palace with Concubine Nan'an, and the eunuch led to Concubine Zhen's bedroom. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Concubine Zhen half-lying on the couch, her face looked down. Not bad but a little fatter than before.When Mother Jia wanted to pay her respects, Concubine Zhen excused the ceremony from the two of them, and the maid moved chairs for them to sit aside, served some refreshments and then retreated.

Concubine Zhen looked at Mother Jia and then at Concubine Nan'an, and said, "It's good if you two come together." Concubine Zhen looked at Concubine Nan'an's face and continued, "I want to give you a small county in your mansion. Protect the media."

Concubine Nan'an immediately said: "That girl in my family is still young, so she was clamoring to go out to watch a monkey show when I first left the mansion!"

Jia Mu was listening, only smiling and not speaking.

After hearing this, Concubine Zhen smiled and said: "The little Princess is a playful person, so she should have fun at her age. If she doesn't get married, she won't have a chance. Although she is still young, it is just a reminder. Dear, success or failure is not certain, don't remember to say no!" Concubine Zhen said and looked at Jia Mu.

Jia's mother agreed, "Your Majesty is right, but there is only one baby girl in the Nan'an palace, and she must want to stay for a few more years." What Jia's mother said was like saying nothing.

Concubine Nan'an touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and said: "Madam, it's nothing else. My son is still fighting at the front line. This marriage is her father's decision. I, as a grandmother, can't say anything."

Concubine Zhen chuckled, and said: "I just mentioned this sentence, and you acted like something in a hurry, as if I wanted to eat you."

Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what I said really hurt me, but my little girl is really naughty, she only knows how to mess around all day long, she really has no rules at all."

Concubine Zhen saw that Concubine Nan'an insisted on this, her face turned ugly, but she restrained herself from saying it.Looking at Mrs. Jia who was sitting by the side, she said: "Although it is said that we will get married next year, the dowry has to be done early. I have met Miss Lin briefly, and she looks good."

Jia Mu immediately smiled and said: "Thank you for your care, my granddaughter has her own opinion, and I'm afraid I can't be her master."

When Concubine Zhen heard this, she immediately said: "You are too merciful, making these children lose their elders in their eyes, so they have to say what they have to say." After finishing the last sentence, Concubine Zhen looked at Concubine Nan'an .

These words were clearly addressed to Mother Jia, but they were actually addressed to Concubine Nan'an, the little princess.

The fact that the little princess fell in love with the Fifth Prince was no secret in the palace, and even some good people said some nasty things. How could Concubine Zhen not know, she was just pretending to be confused.

Now Concubine Zhen wants to protect the matchmaker for the little princess, but Concubine Nan'an flatly rejects her. Although she can't say much, she speaks to Mother Jia.

Concubine Nan'an was furious, but she still had to smile on her face. Mother Jia also felt that it was boring, said a few polite words, and retreated when the imperial doctor came to ask for pulse.

As soon as she left the palace gate, Concubine Nan'an looked at Jia Mu's cautious look and sighed, thinking that her noble princess was still throwing a temper tantrum in the mansion. I haven't been out of the house for several days.

After much deliberation, this matter may be caused by Concubine Zhen, especially when this incident happened, she would be obsessed with protecting her own girl. Going up, he gritted his teeth with hatred and went back to the palace with a cold face.

But Wen Renlin was sitting in the study and watching the news presented, frowning as he read it, and when he saw that Lin Daiyu lived in Jia's house, the rest was running by herself, so he couldn't help but slapped the table and said: "This Jia's house is too deceptive. Lin Daiyu is also really easy to talk to."

Zhao Fengju was originally sitting under the window sorting out the expenditure accounts for the past few days, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Miss Lin is an orphan who lives in a troubled place like Jia's mansion, so she can be humble and silent. , it is really not easy to protect yourself and the servants you brought along."

Wen Renlin shook the list in his hand and said, "If we hadn't returned the suet jade Guanyin to her, she might have been bullied to death."

After hearing this, Zhao Fengju said: "The second wife of Jia's family did this for money and to test Miss Lin's temper. If Miss Lin was stolen and kept quiet, she might be bullied in the future. Fortunately, Lin The girl directly reported this matter to Mrs. Jia, which is considered a sigh of relief."

Wen Renlin said with a smile: "Mrs. Jia relied on this to take away Mrs. Wang's right to be in charge of the house, but I don't think Mrs. Wang is a soft person. I'm afraid there is a trick to this matter."

Feng Ju thought that Wang Ziteng was behind Mrs. Wang, and now that Wang Ziteng was getting the favor, this old Mrs. Jia might not be able to rule Mrs. Wang.

This Lin Daiyu might be involved in the vortex of power struggle in Jia's back house, Wen Renlin thought of this, and looked at Zhao Fengju.Feng Ju naturally understood His Highness Fifth's thoughts, and immediately said: "This matter depends on Concubine Hui."
