The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

Regarding Jia Zheng's matter, Jia Jing personally came forward and sent someone to Jinling to clean up the mess, but that Xianrui was redeemed first. Jia Jing traced it to the end and found that the one who redeemed Xianrui was a man from Yangzhou. The salt merchant directly took Xianrui back and served wine as a serious concubine.

Jia Jing was also an official in Jiangnan back then, and had some understanding of the situation in Jiangnan. After knowing the name of the big salt merchant, Jia Jing understood that the big salt merchant had taken refuge in the East Palace back then, that is to say, he Originally the abolished prince, the disciple of the old Prince Yizhong, if the current Prince Yizhong had any instructions, he would naturally have to obey.

Knowing who Jia Zheng had offended, Jia Jing no longer had too many demands on Jia Zheng, as long as he was honest, he could spend his time at home as he wanted in the future, as long as he didn't go out to harm others, it was fine even if he harmed himself.

Now that Jia Jing had already agreed this time, he still had to bite the bullet and find someone to turn things around to Prince Yizhong and Prince Anping, and it was finally smoothed over.Jia Jing is valued by the saints now. Although Yizhong County King and the others sound pretty good now, in fact they only have some limited freedom. Tossing in the palace, even if you are out of the palace, someone will report to you after listening to a play, and tell the saint in every detail that if you want to speak at home, you must pay attention, and you must not have any words of resentment, lest people say A sound of resentment will be full of dissatisfaction at that time.

This kind of life is no different from house arrest, but Jia Jing is Jane's character in the Sacred Heart, and the saint intends to make great use of it. Although Yizhong County King and the others did not have the name of the emperor's grandson, they still followed the emperor's grandson's specifications The ones who were raised are also more sensitive to politics, so naturally they will not intentionally oppose Jia Jing.Here, Jia Jing helped Jia Zheng to turn things around, and he also gave Yizhong County King and the others some compensation. To them, Jia Zheng was nothing more than a disgusting bug. If he cared too much about Jia Zheng, there was no need for that. up.What they did before was nothing more than wanting to scare the monkeys, take Jia Zheng, and tell those who disrespected them that although they are considered down and out now, they are also descendants of dragons and phoenixes, and not everyone is qualified to step on them.If Jia Jing hadn't made a timely move,

And that fibrous core was naturally sent out by the big salt merchant, and then Jia Amnesty directly filled it with dumb drugs and sent it to a nunnery.That nunnery was originally used by officials and eunuchs to accommodate their own family members who made mistakes, so the management was very strict, and there would be no disturbances after entering the nunnery.If so, that Xianrui also died of a serious illness a few months later, and was directly buried in a thin coffin in a random place.

After everything was settled, Jia Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He went to the Rong Mansion again, and said to Jia Zheng directly, how capable you are and what you can do, you should be self-aware. Since you inherited Even if you have a title, the Rong Mansion also has a lot of property. Even if you spend your days and nights at home, no one will care about you, but if you go out again to shame your face and stir up wind and rain, don't blame him, the patriarch, for being ruthless!

Both Jia Zheng and Shi's mother and son were a little reconciled, but now the situation is stronger than others, and Jia Zheng caused such a disturbance. If Jia Jing hadn't stepped forward, this matter might not be over until now.Jia Zheng has learned his lesson this time. He has always been a bully and shy of hard people. He has made people toss him a lot and now he is aware of current affairs. No matter how high he thinks of himself, he is naturally short when facing the royal family. First level, besides, he doesn't have that ability himself!

After Jia Jing taught Jia Zheng a lesson, he turned around and left. Looking back, Jia Zheng was yelled at by Shi again, making him worthless. Eight blood holes were pierced by the nails.However, Jia Zheng could only continue listening aggrievedly.

Jia Zheng just attacked a third-class general. The reason why the Rongfu can still hang the signboard of the Rongguofu is because Shi Shi, the wife of Rongguo, is still there, and her edict has not been erased, so , with that sign hanging, barely considered presumptuous.In this way, Rongguo Mansion can still rank a little bit in the capital, otherwise, what is a third-class general without real power in the capital?

What's more, the historian was in the right direction in the change of Iron Net Mountain before, and made a lot of contributions. Now it is gaining momentum, and now it is Shi's brother, Old Shihou, who is in charge of the family. Shi has such a powerful Her natal family is naturally very tough in the mansion.

Jia Zheng was very angry with Shi Shi, and after returning home, he wanted to attack Xiao Wang. Seeing his appearance, Xiao Wang sneered, and Xiao Wang was broken now. It looks like she doesn't dare to divorce Mrs. Xiao Wang. Mrs. Wang has seen through Jia Zheng a long time ago. She really doesn't want to be angry with Jia Zheng. She doesn't have a son herself. Now her biggest hope is Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun. .

Jia Zhu regarded her as her biological mother, but Yuan Chun was the flesh that fell from her body. Especially, she had been separated from Yuan Chun for two years, and when she came back, Yuan Chun was taught by Shi to hardly recognize herself.In the past two years, Mrs. Wang has never lost something for her daughter during the festivals. In the end, she heard that after the things were delivered, she asked Mrs. Shi to put them away. She never asked Yuanchun to see them. Mrs. Wang hated Mrs. Shi even more, but she still gritted her teeth, whispered to Yuan Chun every day, and finally won her daughter's heart back.

Seeing Jia Zheng approaching aggressively at this moment, Mrs. Wang asked Yuan Chun to be taken down to rest unhurriedly, and then said: "Master, what's the matter, but I'm looking at some flowers and grass again." Isn't it to put it outside to let people point at the spine of the concubine and say that the concubine is jealous? The concubine will take people with her, pick him up in a big sedan chair eight times, directly serve wine, and immediately carry her to be the second room. How does the master feel?"

Xiao Wang didn't say a single swear word, but Jia Zheng blushed when he heard it. He trembled at Xiao Wang's lips for a long time, and finally said angrily, "You, you woman, are simply unreasonable!"

Mrs. Wang raised her eyebrows, and then said: "What do you mean by the master? Is the concubine not reasonable enough? Do you want me to ask myself to go down to make room for the newcomer? That's fine. The master has the ability to call The old lady and the patriarch and others are here, we will open the ancestral hall, we will reconcile, and we will go our separate ways in the future, what does the master think?"

Regardless of Jia Zheng's harsh words, in fact, he is the one who can weigh the pros and cons best. On the Wang family's side, Wang Ziteng and Wang Zisheng are both officials now, so that's all for Wang Zisheng, but Wang Ziteng is capable. The Wang family has a lot of opinions on their own affairs. If the little Wang family makes trouble again, I am afraid that the Wang family will tear him alive. He flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Xiao Wang looked at Jia Zhengyuan's back and spat directly: "Bah, bastard!"

As a result, Jia Zheng went straight to the study, saw Jia Zhu was practicing calligraphy there, regardless of 21, directly criticized Jia Zhu's handwriting as worthless, and said "animal, evil son" to Jia Zhu again The lesson made Jia Zhu stand there with her head down like a quail, and then she felt relieved and left.

After Jia Zheng left, Jia Zhu turned pale and refused the help of the little servant and book boy. She bent down and picked up the big characters that Jia Zheng tore up and threw on the ground one by one. Lip, directly asked someone to bring the brazier over, and burned those big characters one by one on the brazier to paper ashes.

Jia Zhu was a precocious child. If Jia Zheng was considered a tall father in his heart when he was very young, after his grandfather passed away, the image of this father was directly shattered.

What Jia Zheng did directly destroyed all the beautiful imaginations of his father in Jia Zhu's heart. Jia Zheng was not only incompetent, but also shameless. When Jia Zhu realized this, he felt that his own sky was falling. The father could no longer respect him.

Although Jia Zhu lowered his head towards Jia Zheng, looking like he was being taught, how could a child hide his emotions? Therefore, Jia Zheng naturally noticed some of Jia Zhu's feelings for him, and he felt even more in his heart. He was furious, so every time he found an excuse, or even found trouble for nothing, when he saw Jia Zhu, he would beat his head and cover his face. After a while of lessons, Jia Zhu was almost numb to it.

Jia Zhu's biggest desire now is to study hard and get a good grade in the exam, so that Jia Zheng can feel proud and be able to support his mother and sister.

Over there, after Xiao Wang heard that Jia Zheng went to Jia Zhu's place to have another fit, she was almost so angry that she was about to vomit blood.People's hearts are fleshy. Jia Zhu is a smart and sensible child, and she also admires Xiao Wang very much. Moreover, Xiao Wang has also devoted a lot of care to Jia Zhu, so she really loves Jia Zhu. Zhu is being raised as her own, especially in Jinling for the past two years, Yuan Chun is not around, and Xiao Wang's mother's love can only be placed on Jia Zhu.

Knowing that Jia Zheng was angry at this moment, he went to Jia Zhu to vent his anger again. Xiao Wang cursed in her own room regardless of her image, and then ran to comfort Jia Zhu with someone.Xiao Wang is illiterate and doesn't understand any major principles, and it's not easy to criticize Jia Zheng in front of Jia Zhu. Therefore, her words of comfort are always ineffective, so she can only put them into action. People stewed supplements for Jia Zhu and gave Jia Zhu various things.

Jia Zhu was naturally grateful. He looked at Xiao Wang's worried face, and then said firmly: "Madam, when Zhu'er grows up, I will go to the exam. At that time, Zhu'er will definitely be filial to my wife and take care of Yuan Chun." Sister's!"

Seeing Jia Zhu's pale face, Xiao Wang only felt sore in her heart, and stepped forward to hug Jia Zhu regardless of her appearance: "Mother's good Zhuer, mother doesn't want anything else, as long as you are well!" Hugging the mother and child who were not their own, they almost burst into tears.

Jia She only occasionally heard something new about the Rongguo Mansion's affairs. Jia Zheng, who is almost broken now, is completely a passerby to Jia She. Jia She has his own things to do and has no intention of letting go. On Jia Zhengshi and his family.

The problem is, Shi Shi seems to have suddenly remembered that there is still a son named Jia She. After knowing that Zhang Shi is pregnant, he sent a group of maids over, who said they were for Zhang Shi. Nurses, maids, all of them are enchanting and affectionate. Although they didn't say it clearly, it was almost obvious that they were warming Jia She's bed.

The problem is, the Shi family still treats Jia She as a fool and sends someone here without even a body certificate. When Jia She came back from outside the city and heard about it, he immediately asked his family servants to send him back directly.

Shi Shi seemed to be respectful when he heard the steward, but in fact he sarcastically said that the small family in Anlehou's mansion couldn't afford the slaves of the Duke's mansion, and the old lady's kindness was appreciated, but the Marquis didn't need these servants.Shi Shi could hardly hold back his loving face, and finally froze his face, asked someone to grab a handful of rewards, and let the steward go away.

After the steward left, Shi grabbed the crutch in his hand angrily and swung it across, almost staggering the girl who was serving on the side, then gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how to lift things!"

After Mrs. Zhang knew that Jia Amnesty sent him back directly, she felt joy in her heart. Even after so many years, she was very happy when she heard that Mrs. Shi was deflated. Shi is the elder, and Zhang couldn't behave like a shrew, so he had to endure it all the time. Seeing that Jia She doesn't give Shi any face, thinking that with Shi's temperament, he must be angry at home now , Mrs. Zhang was happy for a while.

The child in Zhang’s womb is now five or six months old. Jia She felt the pulse before, and it should be a boy. This made Jia She feel relieved. Girls these days, even in the boudoir , and it is very difficult to live a truly comfortable life, let alone after marrying someone. If we follow the way of raising girls in later generations, I am afraid that Jia Amnesty's daughter will not be able to marry by then. Therefore, he Rather, he would rather have sons in his own family, at least not have to be bound too much by this world.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was the end of the year. On Jia Jing's side, the Weaving Mansion has almost established a preliminary shelf, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Households have also selected several royal merchants to call them It is responsible for the purchase and transportation of wool and the sale of woolen fabrics. The address of the Weaving House is set in Tianjin, not far from Beipingwei, and it happens to be on the seaside, where a large number of hydraulic looms can be built and a weaving office can be established.Jia Jing will take his family to Beipingwei to serve in the early spring.

Lin Ruhai, on the other hand, was rather depressed. Lin's mother was not in good health at first, but she accidentally contracted a cold in the winter. After taking a few medicines, she felt better at the time, but she relapsed after a while. Now that she is sick in bed, some of the root causes of her illnesses from when she was young are also reappearing. Lin Ruhai invites back one after another, and Lin's mother also has good times and bad times, and has never recovered seriously.

Lin Ruhai had no choice but to run over to find Jia She again. She was in a hurry and went to the doctor. After Jia She passed, she could only shake her head. Mother Lin was getting old, and her physical fitness was not very good. Back then, Mother Lin gave birth at an advanced age. After getting off Lin Ruhai, I also left some roots of the disease on my body. Now it is almost the time when the oil is exhausted, and the medicine can cure the disease. Although Jia Amnesty's medical skills are not bad, but he doesn't have the ability to fight for the life of Lord Yan. Therefore, it is just a Using the method of golden needles can only reduce the pain of Mother Lin. If Mother Lin can survive this winter, she should have a lifespan of about a year. If she can't, then she has no choice but to give up.

Lin Ruhai wanted to cry without tears. He is at the critical time now, and the saint is familiar with him. He has already thought about letting him go outside during the Chinese New Year, accumulating some qualifications outside, and returning to Beijing in the future. He might be able to join the cabinet as Prime Minister in the future, but at this moment, Lin's mother was seriously ill. If Lin's mother left, he would have to worry about Ding. Three years later, who knows if the sage will remember him or not!

Lin Ruhai often said that people who respect ghosts and gods stay away, and now they also went to various temples and Taoist temples in central Beijing, donated money for sesame oil, promised to build a golden body, no matter what kind of famous doctor they were, they would invite people back He treated Lin's mother, but it was not what people wanted. In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, after a heavy snowfall, Lin's mother left quietly at night.

All in all, the Lin family was in a mess. Even though they had already asked people to prepare the coffin and shrouds before this, it was a rush on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had prepared for the worst, but when things came to an end, Still in a hurry, the Lin family's heirs are weak, and Jia Min started to help Lin's mother housekeeper when he entered the door. As a result, while crying for Lin's mother, Jia Min passed out and saw Hong.

Lin Ruhai couldn't find a doctor for a while, and it happened that Jia She was there, and he almost dragged Jia She to see Jia Min. Jia She found out that Jia Min was nearly three months pregnant. Originally, the fetal image was unstable, and I had worked too hard recently, and there were already signs of a miscarriage.

Jia Min didn't have the slightest reaction to pregnancy before. At that time, the whole family was worried about Lin's mother. Jia Min didn't notice her own situation at all. Jia Min was almost dumbfounded when he heard that he had a child in his stomach.

Jia Amnesty was also polite, and directly told Jia Min and Lin Ruhai that the matter was serious. Jia Min had to rest in bed these days, and he couldn't work hard. , before Jia Min gave birth to this child, even if Lin Ruhai wanted to help his soul return to his hometown, he couldn't follow Jia Min's situation. After all, it's difficult to travel seriously these days, whether it's by water or land, it's not so comfortable. And the time is still very long, when the climate is not acclimatized or something, even a healthy person may lose his life because of it, not to mention Jia Min's current situation!

Jia Amnesty is very suspicious. Although Jia Min is the old daughter of Jia Daishan and Shi Shi, she has always been in good health. I am afraid that at this time, she lost a child because of her hard work for days. Physically, Lin Daiyu was born in middle age.Perhaps because of this, Lin Ruhai didn't feel any grudge against Jia Min. After all, it wasn't Jia Min's fault, it was a mistake, and the child came too unlucky.

Lin Ruhai is not someone who only talks about filial piety, no matter what the actual situation is, not to mention that the Lin family has been passed down for generations, and the desire for children is simply engraved in his bones. Now that Jia Min is pregnant with a child, it is too late for him to be happy. So he went to the Lingqian to burn incense for Mother Lin, and told Mother Lin that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, so that she could feel at ease under the nine springs.I don’t even think about my own future when I look back. Now, the sky is big and the earth is big, and Jia Min’s stomach is the biggest. Therefore, Jia Min has become like a national treasure. Apart from the fact that the people of the Lin family still follow the usual funeral arrangements, they are Take good care of Jia Min. When Jia Min wants to kowtow to his mother-in-law or something, there are a lot of people guarding her like an enemy, for fear of any accidents.

Jia Amnesty wasn't just watching from the sidelines. In addition to prescribing a pregnancy-prevention prescription for Jia Min, he also gave Jia Min a few injections to protect her vitality, and then listed a bunch of other medicines for her. As for dietary taboos, the filial piety period pays more attention to it, and you can’t eat any meat, but eggs and tofu are not taboo. Therefore, Jia Min was even given a food list and asked her to eat according to the food list. Just change it.

Jia Min was not close to Jia Amnesty at first, but now I know what it means to see people's hearts in adversity. Thinking of Jia Zheng, a brother with whom he had a good relationship, Jia Min is now feeling sick. Lin's mother passed away, and Jia Zheng came here He said a few polite words in a high-sounding manner, and then disappeared, and the funeral ceremony sent over was not a good thing.When I met Hong in the mourning hall, Jia Zheng didn't show up to see me, but Xiao Wang said a few ready-made words, but didn't take any practical actions.

As for Shi Shi, she didn't come here in person. She heard that Jia Min almost had a miscarriage, that is, she sent someone to bring some medicinal materials, which made Jia Min really feel a little cold.

As for Jia She, Mrs. Zhang is also pregnant at home now, Jia She is now Jia Min's cousin in name, and he just wanted to go through the motions, and no one said he was wrong, but now he is facing Jia Min. It is comprehensive, thinks about everything first, the prescription prescribed, even the imperial doctor can't say a word, and in the tone of her mother's family, she beat Lin Ruhai a lot, for fear that Lin Ruhai would even his wife for his own sake. The children couldn't care less.

Thinking of Jia Min like this, he lost some of his original discomfort with Jia Amnesty, and became a lot more intimate. Naturally, the Lin family didn't have a good time this year. Well, after the new year, Beijing has been suspended for 49 days, and the canal has also thawed. Lin Ruhai did not entrust Jia Min to Shi Shi in the end. Min was entrusted to Jia Amnesty, and he took his family and helped Ling back to Suzhou.
