The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

Zhang's mother, Li, also came from a scholarly family, but her family background is not considered high. It is difficult to pull it out here.However, Mrs. Li herself has a tough waist. She gave birth to three sons and a daughter to the Zhang family. For this reason, Jia She's father-in-law did not take concubines at all, and he was devoted to guarding Mrs. Li's life.

Mrs. Li has rich experience in childbearing. Before Jia She sent a letter to say that Mrs. Zhang was pregnant again, she came here once and gave a lot of things. At that time, Mrs. Zhang didn't react much, and Mrs. Li felt lucky. Because Mrs. Li is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, there are many things at home, so she stayed with Mrs. Zhang for two days and then went back.

This time, Jia She came to the door in person and said that Zhang's pregnancy reaction was serious, and he would vomit whatever he ate. If there were dragon liver and phoenix marrow, Jia She would have wished to find it, but it still didn't work, so he ran to his mother-in-law for help.

Mrs. Li originally had some opinions on Jia Amnesty. Mrs. Li and her husband were single-minded and never had a concubine. Before marrying, they sent people away, but after they got married, there were two layers of mother-in-laws in the upper class, and they were simply comparing each other to give Jia She a girl, and Jia She was not a clean person. There are five or six of them, Li Shi really can't stand it, if it weren't for Jia She, he would understand, even if Zhang gave birth to Jia Hu and hurt his body, he would never let a concubine come from a concubine, Li could not wait to slap him. .

Now it's all right. In Li's opinion, after Jia Hu's death, Jia She can be said to be the prodigal son who turned his back on him. Although he turned his back on the Rongguo Mansion because of Jia Hu's affairs, which made it rare for his daughter to have an imperial order in the future, but that was also the case. For the sake of her own grandson, she also dismissed those concubines, and now she only lives with her daughter. She learned from her daughter that her son-in-law is actually quite skilled. In Zangzhuo, it is a pity that Jia She has no intention of fame and fame, and only wants to be a rich man in the countryside. This also makes Li Shi speechless, but his attitude towards Jia She is much better.

This is also why Jia She knows how to behave himself. If Jia She really wants to please someone, no one can escape, but most of the time, he is not willing to do that.Mrs. Li has a motherly heart towards Mrs. Zhang. Jia She even saw the shadow of his first parents in Mrs. Li. Therefore, Mrs. Li respects and loves Mrs. Li very much. If there is any good thing, he will never forget to honor his mother-in-law This time, when I came to ask for help, I didn’t forget to bring clothes and jewelry, and I was very good at singing and singing. I pretended to be pitiful at Li Shi’s place. As soon as he slapped his thigh, he immediately ordered his servants to bring pickled pickles and candied fruit, explained the family affairs to his daughters-in-law, and followed Jia She to the Zhuangzi outside the city.

The sun outside is scorching, Jia Shen naturally won't ask for trouble to ride a horse, and Li Shi is his mother-in-law, she is not too young, and there is nothing to avoid suspicion, so she just took a carriage with Li Shi and talked with Li Shi .

While chatting some gossip with Li Shi, Jia She broke the shell of the nuts with his hands, put the pulp on a sweet white porcelain lotus leaf plate, and offered it to Li Shi, and Li Shi also took it unceremoniously. While sipping walnuts and almonds, he shared with Jia She the things in Beijing.Mrs. Li is an elder, and there are many things that are difficult to discuss with her daughter-in-law. Her husband is also concerned about state affairs and family affairs, and has no interest in gossip about these trivial matters. Therefore, Mrs. Li is full of gossip, which is usually shared by no one. Seeing that Jia She was very interested in these things, he immediately told Jia She all about it. Jia She also listened to it with great interest, and commented a few words from time to time, which made Mrs. Li feel elated. With Jia She's thoughts, she wished that Jia She was not her son-in-law, but her son.

As he talked, he talked about the Rongguo Mansion.

In the past two years, Jia She only went back to Rongguo Mansion once during the Chinese New Year. Jia Daishan seemed to be much older. Jia She and him were relatively silent. The previous incident, both of them could be said to be impulsive. As a result of the current situation, Jia She can only call Jia Daishan the second uncle now, and Jia Daishan can't justly teach Jia She as he did before. Originally, he was the father and son of the direct relatives, but in the end, they were extremely alienated. Like a stranger.

Jia She only felt uninterested, and later paid little attention to the affairs of Rongguo Mansion, and Jia Daishan's feelings towards Jia She's son were also complicated, and he didn't want to repeat the matter to this point, causing the family to be restless. He told Jia Amnesty that since they had already separated and lived together, there was no need to come back if there was nothing to do.With Jia Daishan's words, unless someone from Jia's mansion came to ask Jia Amnesty to go back, otherwise, Jia Amnesty really never went back.

This time Li Shixing raised his head. When he talked about the matter of Rongguo Mansion, he just said a few words, and he couldn't help but feel that he had made a slip of the tongue. He couldn't help but look at Jia She's face. There was nothing strange on Jia She's face, but a hint of curiosity : "My son-in-law hasn't heard about the Rongguo Mansion for a long time. If my mother-in-law knows something, my son-in-law will listen!"

Mrs. Li thought about it too, and if she didn't say anything after half of her talk, she would lose her appetite, so she said: "It's nothing, even that little Mrs. Wang is also pregnant. I heard that after she became pregnant, she was mentally weak , can’t guard the remaining son as before, the child didn’t even know he was sick, let Shi know about it, but he was not in a hurry to seek medical treatment from the imperial physician, instead he used this excuse to scold Xiao Wang very much After a while, the one in Xiao Wang's stomach was almost lost!"

Speaking of this, Li Shi couldn't help but feel a little lingering. Looking at Jia Amnesty is very pleasing to the eye. As a mother-in-law, it is really easy to tease her daughter-in-law. It seems reasonable to set rules for her daughter-in-law. That's all, if you are tricky, you will suffer so much and have nowhere to complain!If Jia Amnesty hadn't made a fuss, left the Rongguo Mansion, and adopted him, the one who suffered the most would probably be his own daughter.

However, Mrs. Li still gloated a little: "That little Mrs. Wang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She turned around and lay down directly. Mrs. Shi was pretending to do some kind of charity, but now Mrs. Wang publicizes her reputation for being unkind." It's been left behind!" As for this original in-law, after Li knew the cause of his grandson's death, he hated it deeply, but now seeing Shi's misfortune, he couldn't help feeling relieved. After Jia She heard about it, he also sighed inwardly. Does Shi really love Jia Zheng's son?I'm afraid that what she loves the most is the authority in Rongguo Mansion who speaks for itself!Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help but feel sad for the former Jia Amnesty.
