The Marginal People of Jia's Family in the Red Chamber

"In my life, I was born to be unfortunate, and I have never been happy in my life... Except, except, Saburo, Saburo, and our children, I didn't keep Saburo's life, I didn't keep our children, and I will die with peace, you It will make my wish come true, won't it?"

"Yes, I can, don't worry."

"I will always watch you, let my Saburo, let my child be happy and healthy, I will always watch you!" the woman yelled sadly.

"I will, don't worry."

When I became conscious again, I found that I had become a baby.

"Oh, why is it a girl, I have already chosen a name, and I will call it Changsun, really." An old female voice said.

"Ma'am, bloom first and then bear fruit. The young lady grows well, so she will definitely attract a big fat grandson for you right away. Why don't you give the young lady a nickname and call it Zhaodi?" It was still an old female voice, And very flattering.

"Am I the kind of person who doesn't mean anything? I'm called the eldest grandson. This girl is also pitiful. She lost her mother when she was born. Let people watch her!"

"Yes, ma'am."

The eldest grandson, the eldest grandson, said his name silently in his heart, and the eldest grandson burst into tears, not because he disliked the ugly name, but because he was hungry.Soon there was a woman who gently hugged herself, the eldest grandson arched her head, found the nipple, and began to suck. She drank the milk in big gulps, and was careful not to let her gums hit the nipple. Listening to the two conversations just now , the grandmother disliked it, the mother had passed away, and the father and grandfather didn't know what they meant, but it must be unfavorable to see that they directly threw themselves into the care of the servants.

From now on, the eldest grandson must be well-behaved and clever, and even please the servants, otherwise, how can she survive as a baby? The precious medicinal materials in the space are not responsible for the baby's life.

The eldest grandson follows the growth pattern of babies, sleeps for ten hours a day, and is half asleep and half awake for the remaining two hours. He starts to practice moving his hands and feet and turning over.On weekdays, she would only cry when she was hungry, and even the nanny who took care of her told people more than once: "After all, she is a child of a wealthy family, but she is smart. I have never seen such a smart child."

Of course, such a topic was banned after being heard by the head grandma, but the grandma still muttered in private: "It's just very smart, but it's a pity that she is a girl."

One month, the eldest grandson Yuemo can see her grandmother once. Every time he saw her, the eldest grandson cheered up and made the grandmother happy. impression points.

As for the time when he can see his aunt every month, the eldest grandson is even more obedient.It was the first time someone took her to visit her aunt, and the nanny flattered: "Mother, mother, Miss, please call someone, this is your mother."

"Okay, she's only a little old, so she'll be able to call someone. Hold her and let me see." A young woman took her and put her arms around her buttocks and waist. The body can only move with its own efforts, leaning its head in the arms of the aunt, and then smiles at ease.

"Yo, you're so cute, you don't cry or make trouble, and your face is flushed, just looking at it makes your heart happy." The mother-in-law praised a few words, and said: "You take good care of the young lady, Lai's family, reward her A gold ring. Take good care of Miss from now on."

"Thank you grandma, don't worry, the slave must be attentive."

The grandma accepted the gold ring with great gratitude, and went back with her eldest grandson in her arms. She kept chanting along the way: "Grandma is so generous, my sister, you have to be brave, and you will be so well-behaved in the future, do you know?" .”

The eldest grandson yawned and turned his head sideways with his eyes closed.Seeing that he was going to sleep, the grandma shut down too.The eldest grandson replied in his heart: Of course I know, I must be well-behaved.

Knowing from the words of the servants that she is in the Rongguo Mansion, she is still Jia Daishan's concubine daughter, her biological mother has passed away, and her aunt is Baolinghou's beloved daughter, and the future ancestor and eldest grandson of the Jia family are nervous.When she was Li Wan, she was still a granddaughter-in-law, and she had planned for a long time before escaping from Jia's mansion. As a concubine, how could she win favor with Jia Shishi, the winner of the house fight.

Tired and trembling until today, after seeing Jia Shishi, I realized that I was worrying too much.Jia Shishi is still a beautiful young woman with a kind heart, when she hugged her, she smiled warmly, and there was no cold light flashing in her eyes, nor did she look at herself sinisterly, nor did she pinch herself quietly .

The eldest grandson fell asleep in peace.

In the East Main Courtyard, the Lai family pinched Jia Shishi's shoulders and said cautiously: "Miss, do you like eldest sister?"

"Can you not like it? I have been married into Jia's family for two years, and I am not pregnant yet. I like the child even when I see it. It is also the blood of my husband." Jia Shishi said softly.

"How can it be my fault, miss, my son-in-law has just been married for ten days, and my son-in-law went to war with my master. The time spent in the mansion in the past two years can be counted on ten fingers. How can I blame you." Lai's family comforted road.

"After all, I am unlucky. Honglian just waited on her husband for one night, and then she conceived. Even though she is a girl, she is still luckier than me." Jia Shishi is still a girl at heart, and she fully remembered it. Husband's body.

"If the wife hadn't given the girl to distract my uncle, wouldn't you have been pregnant a long time ago." The Lai family said indignantly.

"Don't say that, it's right for a wife to give a girl to her son. No matter how many girls are, what's the use? I'm the official wife that my husband is marrying. Who can get past me." Jia Shishi didn't take these things to heart at all.

"My dear lady, you really have to be careful. Thanks to the birth of a sister this time, if you give birth to a brother next time and take away the title of the eldest son, you will be short if you give birth to a son. the end of the concubine."

"Pfft, how could it be, my concubine has the way, and the child I gave birth to is naturally the most honorable." Jia Shishi didn't take it seriously, and prayed: "Buddha bless father and husband to return safely, Lai family, please go down, I Tomorrow, I will go to Tanzhe Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings."

"Hey, servant girl is going now." The Lai family bowed and retreated obediently.

Jia Shishi's state of mind is not the eldest grandson's concern. He turned over three times, sat seven times and crawled nine times. The eldest grandson exercised his body consciously, acting smarter than ordinary children.He can call people before he is one year old, and the first one he calls is of course "grandma", followed by "mother", which pleases the two women who are overflowing with maternal love.

When he was one year old, the eldest grandson didn't have the so-called "Zhou Zhou Banquet". At this time, the country was not peaceful, and all the people who intersected with the Rongguo Mansion were military generals. Almost all the men in the family went out to fight. big concern.

The eldest grandson didn't feel aggrieved, it's just a trivial matter that he didn't hold the Zhou Catch Banquet, who would definitely hold it for the girls in Beijing?

After one year old, the eldest grandson can walk waddlingly.

When she arrived at Rongxi Hall, in the wife's yard, she got off the nanny like a jelly candy, and staggered towards the wife, shouting: "Grandma, grandma."

Jia Xie picked him up, put him on his lap and said: "You weird girl."

The eldest grandson couldn't help sighing, fanrenwen may be deceiving.Jia Shishi is a gentle and affectionate little woman, absolutely without any vicious heart; Rong Guogong's wife, Jia Daishan's mother, is not a woman from a scholarly family/noble family/hermit family, she is just an ordinary woman, her father is A low-ranking military officer, born as a mud-legged son of Rong Guogong, he followed the Taizu to fight the world only after he became a relative, and he had a wife who was a mess.

Mrs. Jia Xie is also a forthright, slightly vulgar woman, and now the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not very conscientious.The eldest grandson deeply felt that the fan fiction had misled his children, so he happily let Rongguo Mansion live again.

The eldest grandson sat on Jia Xie's lap, seeing that Jia Xie's breakfast today had rotten rice porridge, and felt that it was time for him to add some supplementary food, so he said cheekily, "Eat, eat, eat."

"Yo, you can say that you have eaten, little girl, you should be breastfeeding, you can't eat this." Jia Xie said with a smile.

"Eat...eat..." The grandson repeated persistently: "Grandma, eat..."

"Ma'am, see how Miss likes it. If you want me to get a spoon, I can give her something to eat." said the old nun who served Jiaxie.

"It's done, go get a small spoon and feed her some." Jia Xie said, and the nanny took the initiative to hug the eldest grandson, took the spoon from the girl, and slowly fed the eldest grandson porridge.

The porridge is sweet, and the eldest grandson has not been exposed to tasty food for a long time, so he swallowed it very quickly, and after a while, he drank a small bowl of sweet rice porridge until there was only one bottom left.

"Yo, it's edible?" Jia Xie turned his head to look, "It's so small, how come it eats so much?"

"Ma'am, my sister is eating deliciously, there is no accumulated food, there is no accumulated food." The nanny hurriedly replied.

"Thanks to being an official family now, how can we afford to support such a glutton if we go back 20 years?" Mrs. Jia Xie laughed.

"Who is the glutton again, mother?" Jia Shishi walked in, holding the Lai family's hand.

"It's not just this little girl's film. After a while, she can eat a bowl of porridge. What a big appetite when she grows up." Jia Xie sighed.

"Mother, eat, eat..." The eldest grandson swung a small spoon with more effort than an iron rod, held a spoonful of porridge, and handed it in Jia Shishi's direction: "Mother, eat..."

Jia Shishi walked over in two steps, took the spoon that was half spilled on the eldest grandson, and said with a smile: "The eldest grandson is really sensible, if you want me to eat porridge, it's because my mother taught me well, at a young age, I know Be filial to your elders."

"Hey, I haven't let you eat the girl's film yet."

"Look at what my mother said. You gave her this porridge. You love your child. The elder grandson ate everything clean, which is your filial piety to you."

"You still know how to talk." Jia Xie smiled and asked the nanny to carry the eldest grandson down to change clothes.

The eldest grandson didn't know what the two women would talk about. A military lady and a lady from a great family had a strange style of painting no matter how they looked at them.The eldest grandson followed the grandma down silently.

When the eldest grandson was one and a half years old, she was already able to walk smoothly by herself. She walked from her small courtyard to Dongzhengyuan every day to pay respects to Mrs. Jia Shi, and then Mrs. Jia took her to greet Mrs. Jia Xie.When Jia Shishi wants to be a housekeeper, or when Jia Xieshi doesn't want them to disturb, the eldest grandson still insists on walking outside the yard to kowtow.

If an adult does this, it must be a famous work. A three-headed kid doing this is a child with a pure heart and a pure heart.

Jia Shishi said more than once: "Good boy, mother knows your filial piety, let the nanny hold you in her arms, you are young, your bones are weak, and you have walked so much, be careful not to damage your body."

"Eldest grandson, don't be afraid. Mammy said, my daughter should greet you every day, and you will be sincere when you walk!" The eldest grandson tilted his head, smiling cutely.

"Okay, okay, but that's an older child, and the eldest grandson is still young, let's talk about it when we grow up."

"I'm not a baby who only knows how to suckle, I've grown up a long time ago." The eldest grandson said with a sullen face.

"Okay, okay, grown up, grown-up grandson, go and pay your respects to your wife."

The eldest grandson acted cute like this, kept checking the favorability of the two headed family members, and successfully grew up to two years old. Of course, he was already three years old at this time.

Then she saw her grandfather and father whom she had never met before, Duke Rong and his son defeated the Southwest Alliance Army and returned triumphantly.His Majesty the Emperor bestowed countless treasures. Before the Lord arrived, the angels who came to proclaim the decree left several times, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him.The eldest grandson was not honored to see it with his own eyes, but seeing the beaming faces of the family servants recently, the cheeks of the two headed family members laughed so hard that the eldest grandson was also happy.

On the right day, the two generals returned triumphantly. Duke Rong was tall and mighty, with a long beard, bronze skin, and majestic.As for the father in this body, as a general, he is a little boy with a beardless face and eyes like peach blossoms. He is a general who only appears in romance novels.The eldest grandson thought that Jia Shishi's longing for Jia Daishan was due to his face.

"Husband is back, it's good to be back." "Let me see, you are hurt."

The two women waited for someone to enter the main entrance, and rushed to greet them. The scene of the couple's long separation and newly-married couple was interrupted by coughing.

Rong Guogong and Shizi moved out of the way, and an old lady with silver hair came forward with the support of a young woman.

"Mother-in-law?" Jia Xie called out in surprise.

Jia Shishi hadn't seen it before, but after hearing Jia Xieshi's words, he followed suit and called out: "Grandma, Ankang."

The silver-haired old lady had sagging masseter muscles, age spots all over her face, and drooping bags under her eyes. She looked terrifying.She has dark skin on her face, and gold rings inlaid with gemstones on each of her deformed fingers. Her whole body has an aura, which looks completely out of tune with her rich and noble body.The eldest grandson assured that if he hadn't been brave, he would have been scared and cried on the spot.

The old lady didn't speak, and the atmosphere froze for a while.

Rong Guogong said: "My mother and we were dispersed by the refugees and settled down in the south. Thanks to the care of my niece, it's a long story. Let's go into the house first."

A few people walked into the main hall of Rongxi Hall, the old lady took her seat, and the young woman stood behind the old lady.The servants came up with futons, and Jia Xie, Jia Shi and the eldest grandson went up to pay respects one by one.The old lady took the purses from the young women behind her, one for each of them.The eldest grandson went back to look and found out that there were only a few copper coins in the purse, and the purse itself was not exquisite. He wondered if his grandmother and mother received the same gift as her.

The atmosphere was not warm, mainly because the old lady kept a dark face, and even the eldest grandson, who was always cute and funny, didn't dare to act rashly.

Then Jia Shishi saluted Rong Guogong, and the eldest grandson saluted his grandfather and father. The atmosphere was solemn for a while.

After finishing the etiquette, Rong Guogong said: "Mother has suffered, thanks to Yaoniang, Yaoniang is in charge of her mother, and she promised Daishan."

Jia Xie's and Jia Shi's eyes widened, they couldn't believe it, the old lady said in a hoarse voice: "It's promised to be a serious second wife for Brother Shan, you two are incompetent things, there is no Jia family to spread the branches and leaves, boss Only a son like Brother Shan is too frail, since I am here, I will choose some good ones for him. In the future, Yaoniang will be my serious granddaughter-in-law, you are not allowed to bully her."

The old lady's words completely shocked the three women who stayed behind.

The woman called Yao Niang came out from behind the old lady, saluted Jia Shishi, and said, "Sister."

The eldest grandson watched Jia Shishi tighten his handkerchief, forced a smile, and said, "Please get up."

"Yao Niang will live in the main courtyard with me in the future, you can arrange it." The old lady pointed to Jia Xie's family.

"Yes, the old lady must be tired after traveling all the way, let Yao Niang take care of her and rest first, and my daughter-in-law will make arrangements immediately." Jia Xie said, pointing to his confidant mother to arrange.

After the uninvited guest was sent away and someone carried his eldest grandson down, Jia Xie immediately patted the table and said, "What's going on? Jia Yan, you made it clear!"

"I went to fight in the south and found my mother in the mountainous area of ​​Yunnan. My mother had gone through several wars. If it wasn't for the care of her niece, she would have died long ago. When my mother joined us, she betrothed her to Brother Shan." Jia Yan simply said Introduced the situation.

"Being a betrothed is a betrothal. It is right for a good brother to have a few more people to serve you, but what did you hear my mother-in-law say? What is a decent daughter-in-law? I only have one decent daughter-in-law, and that is the royal wife who was ordered by the court! As Jia Xie said, Jia Shi was crying next to him, so bitter that the pear blossoms were raining.

"Mother, I know that this matter has wronged my wife, but my grandmother has suffered a lot, how can I refuse it." Jia Daishan said: "Mother, don't worry, I know it well, and I will never let Yaoniang go past my wife. The second wife is just a private name, and the only person who can enter the palace with me to receive a banquet is the madam."

"Grievance, I am still full of grievances. How many children I gave birth to the master, all of them were taken to death by the master. The only one left is brother Shan. Brother Shan still knows the grievance of being a mother after all. , the master just looks at my mother-in-law pointing at my nose and scolding me, so I don’t care about my grievances..."

"Hey, ma'am, I'm in my early forties, so there's nothing I can't see. The old man is a bit stubborn, so speak more bluntly. As a daughter-in-law, you just have to be patient." Be careful, in such a chaotic era, it is also a blessing to find relatives who have been lost for many years.

The two men appeased their wives and went to the inner courtyard to wash up.

Jia Xieshi and Jia Shishi looked at each other with tears in their eyes, and went their separate ways.

The eldest grandson didn't know what happened after she was taken away, but seeing the increasingly gunpowder atmosphere at home, he also knew that things were not good.

The eldest grandson originally thought that for a patriarchal person like Jia Xie, when she couldn't speak, she could use a few smiles to please her, so it was no problem for the old lady.When the eldest grandson went to pay his respects to the old lady on the first day, he smiled and said, "Good luck, old lady."

"What are you laughing at, my mother is not feeling well, what do you want to do, what are you laughing at?" There was a storm of abuse, mixed with a few dialects.

"The old lady misunderstood..."

"Get out, the disaster star who was born to Kemu, even if he doesn't drown, he should be thrown into the temple. Don't get close to me, he's full of dirty things!"

The eldest grandson came back with a head full of spittle. She couldn't understand how a mother who could give birth to Jia Yuan and Jia Yan, the dragon and phoenix of the two people, could be so vulgar. Could it be that the war life caused her weird personality? Strange, is it sick?Also, the old lady asked why she didn't want to go to the Ningguo Mansion, the eldest son was there, and the elder should be cared for.

The eldest grandson just thought that the old lady happened to be in a bad mood, and tried to please her a few times, but returned in vain, and was scolded instead.

The eldest grandson was scolded badly for the first time, and she, who had never been wronged in two lifetimes, went directly to Jia Xie's yard crying, hugging Jia Xie and crying: "The eldest grandson is not a disaster, the eldest grandson should not die, the eldest grandson should not die .”

Jia Xieshi hugged her and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

The nanny who was following her reported the matter in detail, Jia Xie felt empathetic and said: "Poor child, you have provoked someone. That mother-in-law is beside the old lady, she doesn't know how to persuade her." Be careful, go, tell the master and brother Shan about this, this is the blood of our Jia family."

However, it was useless to tell Jia Yan and Jia Daishan about the matter. The old lady didn't know how to tell the two men in charge. Anyway, the matter was left alone.On the other hand, when the eldest grandson went to pay his respects again, the old lady watched the black room, and it was the young mother who moved her hands. A three-year-old child was locked up for a day, and was released only after Jia Yan and Jia Daishan came back from the barracks.

The eldest grandson is really angry now, no matter what your difficulties and secrets are, should you just kill me casually?The feverish eldest grandson lay on the bed with a flushed face, and said to the nanny: "Mommy, I'm going to die, please go and ask your father to come and see me, okay?"

"Sister, don't think about it, you will get better soon, soon." The nanny cried.

"If I get better, I need to see the imperial doctor, but the old lady won't even ask me for the imperial doctor. I'm sure I'm going to die. If I'm dead, what will the nanny do? The old lady will definitely put you in a dark room too. "The eldest grandson guided.

"My father must be eating in the main hall now, please help me to beg my father."

For some reason, the nanny decided to let the two big maids take care of her first, her hair was disheveled, and she ran to the dining room with tears in her eyes, crying, "Young master, the miss is dying, the miss is dying, I just want to see you, please Go and see her. Auntie worked so hard to give birth to Miss, it is the young master's flesh and blood, so you should go and see her, young master."

"What's the matter? I was fine when I went out today." Jia Daishan wondered.

Mrs. Jia Xie and Mrs. Jia Shi who were standing behind the old lady who were serving vegetables immediately knelt down. Mrs. Jia Xie said: "This morning, the old lady asked Yao Niang to lock up the eldest grandson on the grounds that the eldest grandson didn't understand the rules. My son and I It's useless for the daughter-in-law to ask, and I don't know what the eldest grandson has suffered. It only takes a day, why can't it work? I don't have a post from the master now, and I can't even invite an imperial doctor. This is the generation of our Jia family. First child!"

"Husband, please go and see your eldest grandson. She is also your child. Why don't you let me go? She has been my mother for three years. I have no choice but to send her off for the last time!" Jia Shi Shi also cried.

Jia Yan was stunned, it was only a day's work, why the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were crying like the whole family could not survive, Jia Yan threw away the chopsticks, got up and went to the eldest grandson's yard first.
