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

The old lady entered the Rongguo Mansion for only two months, and she did something like killing her great-granddaughter. No matter how you look at it, it was a scandal. Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan rushed to the eldest grandson's yard in a hurry.

Jia Xieshi and Jia Shishi also got up and supported the girl's hand and rushed to the inner courtyard, ignoring the cold snort of the old lady behind: "A girl, so what if she dies?"

When Jia Daishan rushed to the yard, there were only two big girls in the room holding hot handkerchiefs to put on the eldest grandson's head. It was very cold in the room, Jia Daishan said: "Why don't you burn charcoal."

"Brother Shan, the middle class in the house has been handed over to the old lady. The old lady said to be frugal. When you two men are away, we don't even need carbon."

"What!" Jia Yuan couldn't believe it, it's late autumn now, and the late autumn in Beijing doesn't burn carbon, how can a child stand it.

"Every time I complain to the master, the master only treats me as a small belly. I want the master to know that not only carbon, but our meals on weekdays are nothing more than meat, vegetables and soup. The poor daughter-in-law was raised in the Baolinghou mansion with gold and jade. When we arrived at our Rongguo Mansion, we couldn't even eat enough. Who would believe it, the wife of the dignified Duke's mansion is almost starving to death, worse than refugees." Jia Xie cried.

"I don't know..." Jia Daishan said.

"Of course you don't know, you only want a mother in your eyes and heart now, but you have thought that the wife you are marrying is so cold that you can't sleep every night! How did you promise me on the day you came back, that no one can surpass you?" Wife is gone, and now!" Mrs. Jiaxie scolded.

"Mother, mother, don't talk about it, this is fate, this is fate, if I can't survive, I will go to hell with my mother." Jia Shishi hugged Jia Xieshi and cried bitterly. At this time, their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Move your heart to one place.

Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan looked at each other, extremely embarrassed.Back then, when the old lady wanted to be in charge of Zhongfu, they didn't take it seriously and handed over the matter to the old lady directly. Who would have thought that their wife and children would almost freeze to death or starve to death? Now, the two headed men are extremely embarrassed.

"Father...Father..." At this moment, the eldest grandson on the bed spoke out, breaking the embarrassment of the room.

Jia Daishan hastily jumped over in two steps, touched his eldest grandson's hot forehead and said, "Eldest grandson, father is here."

"Father, you came to see me..." The eldest grandson pulled out a weak smile and said, "Father, am I going to die?"

"Nonsense, the imperial doctor will be here soon, how could you die."

"I believe in my father. You are my father. No matter how hard you beat me, I will not change my words. You are my father." The eldest grandson raised his hand, touched Jia Daishan's face, and inadvertently let out his bruised arm.

Looking at the red and black scars on Bai Nen's arm, Jia Daishan was furious: "Eldest grandson, who hit you."

"Yao Niang, I don't call her mother. I have a mother. She said my mother died a long time ago, and the current mother will make room for her soon, but I just don't call her." The eldest grandson said, and As if frightened by Jia Daishan's face, he flinched and said, "Father, am I being misbehaving, and you don't like me anymore."

"Eldest grandson, eldest grandson, my son, mother is here, mother is here, if something happens to you, mother will die, mother will die." Jia Shi came forward, threw himself on the bed and cried bitterly.

"Master, give me a promise. If you don't deal with Yaoniang, my daughter-in-law and I will ask ourselves to come down. At least we can save our lives!" Jia Xie said with his head held high, his face covered with tears.

"Mother, what are you talking about!" Jia Daishan said sadly, "It's all useless, you've been wronged! Someone, go and lock up that young lady...don't be afraid of the old lady."

After Jia Daishan finished speaking, he went to look at Jia Yuan, Jia Yuan also nodded, and the servants stepped back to work.

The imperial doctor came over in a hurry, and as soon as he got his pulse, he knew that the situation was not serious. However, looking at the people from the Duke's Mansion and the Shizi's wife who were crying together, he said directly: "Young Master's condition is a bit serious. She hasn't eaten properly for a long time. Another trauma, alas, the child is young, his body is not as good as that of an adult, and he is a woman, so I wonder if there will be scars."

"Imperial physician, imperial physician, save my daughter." Jia Shishi cried.

"Madam Shizi, don't worry, I will do my best." The imperial physician said with a bow.

Just as he was about to send the imperial physician away, the servants who were going to arrest Yaoniang came to report: "Master, Master, the old lady stopped me, saying that the second lady is pregnant."

"Where did the second lady come from, something that has no rules!" Jia Yuan reprimanded, the imperial doctor is still there, how can such news of the family's restlessness be spread out.

Jia Yuan deeply felt that it was a wrong decision to entrust Zhongfei to his mother, so he personally arranged for someone to send the imperial doctor out, and then asked someone to go to the street to invite a doctor to diagnose Yaoniang's pulse.

Yao Niang is indeed pregnant, Jia Yuan and Jia Daishan's decision is to return the right of housekeeper to Jia Xie.

The eldest grandson played such a scene with great effort, Jia Xie and Jia Shishi cooperated tacitly, but it was still not worth the filial piety and descendants.

The eldest grandson has never been so discouraged, she has long been prepared to deal with the sinister house fight, but in the end, three years of worry-free and happy time have passed; she thought that she could win with one blow, and push the old lady to Ningguo Mansion, Solving that Yaoniang is also a surrender of the Jia Shi family, I didn't expect it.Her father, who would hug her and throw her high, also thought that her existence was not as good as a boy who was about to be born.

Yes, the doctor said that Yaoniang was pregnant with a boy.

The eldest grandson is not sure if this child is the future Jia She, and this can explain why Jia Shi's attitude towards Jia She is so bad.

These worries and anxieties are not urgent. The most urgent and important task for the eldest grandson now is to recover his body.She was rewarded with a lot of things to appease her. The two male masters were both on the battlefield, so don't snatch too many treasures from them. A little stuff slipped out of their hands is enough for the eldest grandson to enjoy.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the eldest grandson asked Jia Daishan to be literate.

"Why do you suddenly want to know how to read?" Jia Daishan was puzzled.

"I don't know the letter that Dad sent back, and neither does Grandma. When I can learn to read, I can read the letter to Grandma." The eldest grandson fell ill, and Jia Daishan became a little close to her.

"It's a filial one, and I will arrange it for you as a father."

After the eldest grandson's fourth birthday, Jia Daishan arranged for a woman from a down-and-out family to teach her literacy, manners, and knitting.

During this period, Yao Niang gave birth to a son, and the old lady took him to raise her by her side.One month after giving birth, Yaoniang suddenly suffered from puerperal syndrome.The eldest grandson didn't know whose handwriting it was, but it was probably Jia Shishi and Jia Xieshi.

Ningguo Duke Jia Yan has been away from the battle and has not returned, and Jia Xie couldn't find a chance to send the old lady there, so he could only endure silently.

The eldest grandson is now praying devoutly when he accompanies his grandma to pray for blessings in the Buddhist hall every day. Ning Guogong hurried back and took the old witch away.Ever since she came, life in Rongguo Mansion has been in chaos.

Jia Yuan named Yaoniang's child Jia Dun, which relieved the eldest grandson. Fortunately, it wasn't Jia Amnesty, so she could think that her butterfly wings were still useful.When Jia Shishi gave birth to Jia She, the relationship between them will definitely not be so bad.

When Jia Dun was three years old, Jia Shishi was pregnant, but Jia Daishan had no time to accompany his wife at home, so he received another order and set off with Rong Guogong.

The Rongguo Mansion without a man has gradually stabilized. Jia Xie is in charge of the house now, and she doesn't bother to put on a show when the man is gone. She just needs to ensure that the old lady has enough food and drink. Please An only picks when the old lady is not up. , Kowtow outside the yard, forget it.Whenever the old lady came to invite her, she would say that she was not free, and if she had something to do, she would send a message through the maid.

Now that the maid's contract of selling herself is in Jia Xie's hands, who would dare to violate her.

When Jia Shishi was seven months pregnant, there was news on the battlefield that Jia Daishan was seriously injured and was dying.

When the official news from the imperial court confirmed, it turned out that Jia Daishan was just pretending to be injured to lure the enemy. The two generals of the Rongguo Mansion divided their troops into two groups, lured the enemy deep, and wiped out the rebel army in one fell swoop.

Jia Daishan, who returned with great military exploits, got the news that his eldest son had died.Jia Dun was already four years old, and it turned out that he had chickenpox. He didn't get over it, so he went there.

Jia Dun has always been taken care of by the old lady, the old lady yelled in disbelief, someone must have killed Jia Dun, the old lady firmly believed that it was Jia Shishi who killed Jia Dun, otherwise why would Jia Dun die when Jia Amnesty was born.Whoever benefits is the murderer, this is the simple logic of the old lady.

The old lady kept making noises. Although Jia Daishan didn't have much affection for Yao Niang anymore, he still had affection for his first son. Jia Daishan was suspicious of Jia Shishi immediately, and soon Jia Shishi fell out of favor.To make matters worse, the Jia Xie family reported Jia She to be brought up in their own yard under the euphemistic name of not letting Jia She be implicated.The friendship between Jia Xieshi and Jia Shishi who had united against the old lady disappeared, and the alliance broke down.

Fortunately, Duke Ning also came back during this battle, and the old lady moved to Duke Ning's mansion.

Rongguo Duke Jia Yuan was injured on the battlefield, and because he was old, he asked for an order to pass the title to Jia Daishan, and moved to Lixiangyuan alone to recuperate, and rarely appeared in front of others.

In just one year, the situation in Rongguo Mansion has changed so much that the eight-year-old eldest grandson stood in the yard feeling uneasy.

Early in the morning, the eldest grandson got up very early, held the forehead wipe he had made the night before, and walked to the East Main Courtyard to greet Jia Shishi.This is what the eldest grandson insists on every day after Jia Shishi seems to fall out of favor.Since Jia Shishi can become the final victor, it is best to send carbon in the snow.Even if there is no cheating from the original book, it is not a big deal for a beloved daughter of the Hou Mansion to kill a concubine.

During the days when Yaoniang became Jia Daishan, she did not have a formal concubine document for her. The old lady clamored for Yaoniang to be a serious second wife. , Concubine, are all folk names, which are untenable in law.Not to mention Jia Shishi is just a suspicion, even if she really blatantly beat Yaoniang to death, that is what Yaoniang deserved, and Jia Shishi can at most pay some money for burning and burying her.

When the eldest grandson arrived at the East Main Courtyard, the little girl who lifted the curtain at the door bowed politely and opened the curtain to let the eldest grandson in.

"My daughter greets her mother."

"Get up, it's rare that you have filial piety." Jia Shishi sat on the chair, dressed in dark-colored trousers, his whole demeanor changed drastically.When her eldest grandson was born, Jia Shishi was still a shy and timid newlywed, full of expectations for her husband and married life, but now she has evolved into a qualified headed mistress with a dignified and majestic temperament, no one can fault her.

"Mother, this is what my daughter embroidered for you. The weather is getting colder. Mother, please take care of yourself." The eldest grandson offered the needlework he made.

Jia Shishi caressed the exquisite forehead, looked at the bat pattern on it, and said: "The embroidery is very good, and your husband taught it well."

"Where is the master's teaching well? My daughter is always with her mother, and she is taught by her mother's precepts and deeds. She has learned some superficial things, which is enough to bluff people." The eldest grandson flattered.

"You have a sweet mouth, eat breakfast at my place today." Jia Shishi sighed almost invisibly, now Jia Daishan only comes here once on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year according to the rules, and rests in the concubine's room at other times Inside the house, Jia Shishi's life became more and more difficult.

"Then I'll take advantage of my mother today. Well, I don't know what happened to my brother. I went to my wife's yard yesterday to say hello. My brother seems to be a bit picky."

"Picky eaters, is it because of poor appetite, or because the nanny ate something wrong, resulting in bad milk?" Jia Shishi asked nervously.

"Mother, this... I don't know, why don't I go and have a look today and come back to tell you. To be honest, it would be better if my mother went with me. Where there are children who don't want their mother, I wish I could come every day The mother is happy at the knees."

"Oh, I'm not feeling well, I still don't want to go, you help me to see, if the nanny is not good, come back to me, I will change them." Jia Shi said, this is the tacit agreement between her and Jia Xie In the transaction, Jia Amnesty will be brought up by Jia Xie, and the power of Zhongfu and housekeeper will be given to Jia Shi.If there is no housekeeping right, Jia Shishi's life will be even more difficult. Two evils intersect and choose the lesser. Thinking about it, Jia Shishi is also forced to do nothing.

The eldest grandson had breakfast with Jia Shishi, and then went to his wife's yard to say hello, she is now eight years old, it's time to make plans for herself.

As soon as the eldest grandson left, the Lai family ordered people to remove the dishes, and helped Jia Shishi to sit on the embroidered couch beside the bed.

"Miss is kind and righteous."

"Friendship? It's just to see that I won't fall so easily, so I'm here to light the cold stove." Jia Shishi waved his hands disheartened.

"Miss, I'm sorry for you." The Lai family choked up.

"Don't cry, what's the pain, everyone has to go through this. When I was a child, my mother often cried in the room. I wondered why my father was loving, my brothers were healthy, and my mother cried. Now I understand that as a father, As a mother, how can you not be in pain, how can you not cry."

"Miss!"

"Xie'er was carried to the wife's yard. I couldn't even take a look at it. There will definitely be births in the future. I have to conceive another child." Jia Shishi whispered.

"But now, uncle..."

"I hurt my body when I gave birth to Xi'er, and now I can't conceive even if I want to. In the next two years, I should take care of my body first."

"The servant sent a message to Baolinghou's Mansion, asking them to collect some medicines for strengthening the body." Lai's family suggested.

"Not busy, I have something else to tell you."

"Miss, tell me."

"Go and find a few women with good figure and appearance, and I will take concubines for the uncle."

"What, miss... what are you doing?" The Lai family asked in surprise.

"Look for two good families. I look for them in the tenants of my dowry village. My parents and family members work in my village. Even if I am a commoner, I can't make a big wave. Our Duke, but there are two serious For the title of concubine, let these two people fill in it directly. When the person comes, you immediately go to do the paperwork. Find four more skinny horses and tell your men to go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy. Be sure to find four people with their own characteristics. We Isn't my wife afraid that I'm not virtuous? I'll show her my virtuousness right now."

"Miss, so many people..." The Lai family hesitated.

"What are you afraid of? I have the parents and family members of a good family, and I have the concubine's deed of sale. If you dare not show any signs of being with me, and sell them directly, what can the Duke say?"

"Miss, why are you bothering. Men like to be gentle, you~"

"I am Bao Linghou's beloved daughter. Jin Zunyugui was raised just to call a concubine a sister? Don't disgust me, I will be gentle. How did he repay me? I am in this cold place now Courtyard, what kind of life are you living?" Jia Shi said angrily.

"Miss, a man has three wives and four concubines..."

"Does he have the respect that a regular wife should have for me? If he doesn't regard me as his wife, why should I treat him as my husband! Look at what the old lady did, and then look at what the wife did. I gave birth to children for the Jia family. , Director of the housekeeper, this is how the Jia family repays me! This is how they repay me!" Jia Shishi burst into tears as she spoke, she was too aggrieved!

"Miss, don't cry, don't cry, you still have Brother She, you still have Brother She."

"Yes, I still have She'er, I still have She'er, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, I still have a lot of time, I can take my time, take my time..." Jia Shishi gradually calmed down, wiped away his tears, Said: "Let's do it, I have an idea."

The eldest grandson came to his wife's yard. Now Rong Guogong Jia Yuan has retired. It stands to reason that he should be promoted to a higher level, called old man and old lady. However, Ningguo Mansion still has an old lady. The real ancestor, there is no way, The name is still the same.

Jia She is only a few months now, and has been raised by his wife for nothing. However, the eldest grandson is a little worried, under his wife's education, whether Jia She will become that lustful playboy in the future.

But these are all things that have no shadow. The eldest grandson took out the handkerchief made for Jia She, which was specially prepared to wipe Jia She's mouth. It is more useful to please Jia She than to directly please Jia Xie and Jia Shi. .

When Jia Xie saw it, he smiled and praised: "You are sensible, you are a big sister, and you will take care of your younger brother like this in the future."

"Yes, ma'am, the granddaughter must take good care of my younger brother." The eldest grandson replied crisply, and then took over the duties of the eldest girl, fanning Jia She specially. , and can be lazy without a trace.

After spending the morning in his wife's yard, he went back to his own yard for lunch and took a nap. In the afternoon, it was time for her female husband to teach her lessons.This is the first time in my eldest grandson's life that he has received orthodox boudoir education, and he is very serious.

From the age of four, the eldest grandson started to learn the rules. At the beginning, he always made subconscious movements. Now that a few years have passed, the rules have been deeply rooted in his bones.In the words of the female gentleman, although it is rigid now, it seems to be well-behaved.

She already had memories of Li Wan, and now she is studying with a female teacher, her bookish air is more obvious, she looks like the daughter of some scholarly family.

The eldest grandson and the female husband have cooperated tacitly in the past few years, and the eldest grandson is willing to talk to the female husband if he is interested.

"Good afternoon, sir."

"Good afternoon, miss." The female gentleman returned the gift in a smooth manner, this is a real lady, the eldest grandson looked envious for a while.

"Miss, you have something on your mind." The female gentleman watched the elder grandson play chess absent-mindedly, and he didn't abandon his son to admit defeat after losing, and was still playing unconsciously.

"Ah, my disciple was rude, sir, forgive me." The eldest grandson apologized in embarrassment.

"It's okay, if something happens, today's chess lesson can be skipped." The female gentleman is reasonable.

"Sir, I am eight years old now. I heard from my husband that when a girl from an aristocratic family is eight years old, her mother starts to look after her."

"Hmm." The lady replied.

"This is the treatment of a prostitute, right? My marriage is still far away." Seeing that Mr. Wang didn't answer, the eldest grandson laughed at himself.

"Miss, why belittle yourself, you don't look like a concubine." The female gentleman laughed.

"Oh, not like that? What's a concubine like?"

"Whether a concubine is favored or not, she always has inferiority complex in her eyes, and she always shows a lack of confidence in others. Looking at Miss, she looks like a pampered first daughter in the family."

"Mr. really likes to joke. It's not like you don't know my current situation."

"I have nothing to do with your marriage, but if you really want to, you can go to the banquet with the Duke and Madam." The lady suggested.

"My mother is heartbroken by my father's unfeelingness, and she is recuperating behind closed doors. How can she be a guest? Grandmother is now focusing on her younger brother. Besides, grandma is not a lively person. How can I go out to meet guests?" The eldest grandson was distressed. Marriage at the beginning of the year depends entirely on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. People who have never met before will live together for a lifetime. Besides, she still has a fixed goal.She can't make mistakes again in this life, the task is the most important thing.

"Miss, you are too hasty." The lady stood up from the chair, looked at the scenery outside the window and said, "You are only eight years old now. In fact, it is not too late to see each other when you are thirteen or fourteen. Now Mrs. Guo is not in the mood What you can do when you go out to socialize is just to learn something hard, and when the time comes, you will be able to sell the goods. In the future, I will add a housekeeper to your courses. In the past few years, I see you manage your own The yard still looks the same."

"Mr. Xie."

"It should also be the fate between you and me. Although you haven't officially become a teacher, I have taught you for a few years anyway. I always hope to see you have a good ending." The female gentleman sighed faintly.
