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

On the day when Jia Zheng received the imperial decree, Mrs. Wang had already acted as a good wife, packed the salute for him, arranged for the servants, arranged for Aunt Zhao to follow him, and promoted two charming women The little girl is the housekeeper, and packs everything for him.Being so disgusted by his wife and children, he couldn't resist. Jia Zheng also wanted to leave Beijing to hide his embarrassment, so naturally he left the capital quickly.

On the third day after the separation of the Jia family, Jia She took Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to pay off the treasury's debt. The household department knew that such a day would come when Jia Yuanchun and Jia She came to inquire about the details of the arrears. Naturally, the hint of the scene is fully done.

The Minister of the Ministry of Households had a beard, and he held on to Jia She, a good nephew who spoke loyally to the emperor but kept patriotic, and praised Jia She from the hair to the heel.Jia Lian and Jia Zhu also got a lot of boasting.

When Jia She returned to the Rongguo Mansion, the Holy Majesty's decree of praise came down. Jia She's title was promoted to earl, and Jia Lian was made the eldest son. The title will not be lowered in the future.Jia Zhu was sent to Yangzhou for general judgment. The magistrate of Yangzhou was the emperor's confidant. After serving as a senior official in Beijing, he returned to his hometown in Yangzhou to retire.When the emperor appointed the prince, he made room for the prince's person, and then arranged him to Yangzhou as a compensation, and he was already waiting to become an official.He is also known for his openness and tolerance. As a paratrooper like Jia Zhu, he promised that he would not suffer any difficulties, and instead he could learn how to be an official.

Jia Zhu is still a newcomer who has just been selected as a Jinshi. He didn't even take the exam for the Shujishi, so he was released as an official from the fifth rank.Jia Zhu also frivolously asked for leave from the Imperial Academy, went to the Ministry of Officials to get a note, and rushed to Yangzhou, saying that he wanted to catch up with his father and serve him all the way.

Now Jia Lian, as the eldest son of the earl, is also going south with his cousin. Jia Lian's goal is to go to Jinling to clean up those domineering people in his hometown.The capital city is far away from Jinling, and the news has not yet spread. Jia Zhu and Jia Lian left all the ostensible slaves on Jia Zheng's boat, while the real body took a few confidants and hurried to Jinling.

Jia Lian has already operated it once in Beijing, and he has his own experience on how to punish the slaves. Jia Amnesty and Jia Jing have also explained to him how to deal with the incompetent clansmen. When the time comes for brothers to collect evidence, when the time comes, settle the ledger.

To make a digression, seeing Jia's mansion become like this when he didn't pay attention, and Jia Rong, the only grandson, was also raised in a crooked way. He was educated by his side, and from time to time he slipped Jia Zhenti over for a few words.

The Jia family is now in a state of revival.

Jia Yuanchun's rank in the palace has also been promoted, and now he is the highest rank of female officials in the palace - the second rank.The four concubines, Concubine Gui, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, and Concubine De, were on the same level as her. The only female family members in the palace who could command him were the Queen and the Crown Princess. Jia Yuanchun no longer worried about the concubine's troubles for her.Of course, the emperor appointed a crown prince, but he was not the son of Concubine Zhen Gui who had always been favored. Concubine Zhen Gui was too busy to take care of herself now, so she didn't have the heart to trouble Jia Yuanchun.

For Jia Yuanchun's promotion, the Queen's edict said that Jia Yuanchun had meritorious service in educating the palace people. In fact, because she planned the family, she expressed her loyalty to the crown prince and owed money to the treasury.

As the crown prince's aunt and adoptive mother, the empress also had a high regard for Jia Yuanchun. When she was handling palace affairs, she would often ask her to come and observe him. This was to teach him how to be a housekeeper.The queen was also discussing with the emperor about finding a prominent husband's family for Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun's current work focuses on raising the young princes, and the salary is comparable to that of a foreign scholar.The prince is surrounded by nuns who take care of him and his biological mother to take care of him. What Jia Yuanchun can do is really just some knowledge explanations. The prince's manners may be better than hers.

Based on the original work, Jia Yuanchun speculated that before the emperor taught the country to the prince, something must have happened, resulting in a "broken prince of Yizhong, old thousand years old". After Jia Yuanchun resolved the family affairs, he became more careful .He always carries a sharpened dagger, a hidden sharpened hairpin, refreshing medicine and antidote, and he also notices that he brings palace servants with him everywhere, so he is careful not to be framed by others.

It is also said that Jia Yuanchun asked for leave from the palace on the holiday in January. Mrs. Wang had already discussed with her that she would take her back to the mansion for a few days to relax.

After the separation, the second room moved to a five-entry mansion on Xiuli Street, and hung the word "Jia's Mansion" written by Jia Yuanchun himself.Now Jia Yuanchun's handwriting is also famous. I don't know how many people in the world have come to ask for it. The plaque on the door, the inscription and inscription are Jia Zhu's name, but the word "Jia Mansion" is indeed Jia Yuanchun's. Handwriting, since ancient times, I am afraid that no daughter can have such an honor.

Now there are only four masters in Jia's mansion, Mrs. Wang, Baoyu, Tanchun and Jia Huan.Mrs. Wang wanted to leave the housekeeping to Li Wan, but Li Wan took Jia Lan and Jia Zhu to the post.The rule at this time is that with a son-in-law, the wife should serve in front of her parents and be filial for her husband.But under Jia Yuanchun's persuasion, Mrs. Wang let Li Wan and Jia Lan follow her to the post in the spirit of family harmony.Mrs. Wang was also a character like Wang Xifeng when she was young, but she has become more repressed these years. Now she is in charge of Jia's house with only a few masters.

When Jia Yuanchun arrived at Jia's mansion, Mrs. Wang was already waiting inside the gate.

"Mother, what are you doing here? It's time for my daughter to visit you." Jia Yuanchun got off the sedan chair, pulled Mrs. Wang and said.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. You are working in the palace. Mother doesn't know if you are thin or fat. She always wants to see you sooner." Mrs. Wang said lovingly. The Rongguo Mansion and Jia Zheng who left seemed to be reborn generally.

"I miss my mother too. If that's the case, let me walk around the mansion with me, so that I can recognize my new home." Jia Yuanchun said, "Okay, okay, I'll show you." Mrs. Wang waved After retreating, Jia Yuanchun asked the court ladies to follow from a distance, and the two mother and daughter walked slowly from the Chaoshou corridor to the inner courtyard, chatting while walking.

"Mother, what's going on in Dafang now?"

"What else can I do, the old lady is now a tiger with her teeth pulled out, the old man will never neglect her when it comes to eating and drinking, but she is not the old lady who says nothing, after all, I went to see it in the first year of junior high school, and she seems to be ten years older " Mrs. Wang sighed, the mountain that had been pressing on her for so many years just fell down like this, thinking of it like a dream.

"Well, where is Sister Feng?"

"Now the big house is still your sister Feng's housekeeper. The sister-in-law is not talking about it, and she really can't support the uncle's house. Now the sister-in-law knows how powerful she is, and she won't touch your sister Feng easily. They are all women from the Wang family. She messes with you. I can't afford you, Sister Feng, let alone me." Mrs. Wang said quite proudly.

"Then Sister Feng can pass the law now, so I can tell that she obeys the rules. It's not that I gossip behind people's backs. Sister Feng is straightforward, and I love her very much. It's just that she's a little stupid and bold. I'm afraid she will make another lawsuit and put a mark on her." Money and stuff like that."

"Alas, Mother had no choice but to do these things in the past, and no one in the family can be trusted, so she had to make such a bad move." Mrs. Wang felt quite uncomfortable when she heard this word.

"I'm not talking about mother, I know it was not easy for you..."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, it's all over, and my mother won't take it to heart. Don't worry, your elder sister Feng has seen the downcast appearance of the tall old lady, and she's scared out of her guts, so she won't make trouble. I I went there to comfort her. As long as you follow the rules and don't poke people's hearts with knives, who would risk the world's disgrace and do such a thing? Son, you have suppressed the future of your descendants, how could you, me, Grand Master and others be like this."

"What my mother said is that if things are not fair, there will be noise. If you follow the rules in everything, you will not have these troubles." Jia Yuanchun nodded and said, there is no absolute fairness, but at present the emperor is clear, the empress is kind, and the relationship between the prince and his family is good. Jia Yuanchun hadn't encountered any grievances that he had to complain about, so he nodded in agreement. "Is everything okay at home?"

"Very well, your elder brother took his wife and children into office, and I will take care of the house for him. Baoyu is now six years old, and I am planning to find a college to send him in. Although the family education has been changed now, there is still nothing wrong with it. A famous gentleman came to teach, Baoyu is talented and intelligent, I don't want to delay him." Mrs. Wang said.

"I also enlightened Baoyu, and I am very spiritual. Do you still like to eat the rouge on the maid's mouth?" Jia Yuanchun wanted to see if this was the inherent attribute of Shenying's waiter and could not be changed.

"In the past, the old lady spoiled him, but now there is no beautiful maid in front of him. He still wants to eat when he is hungry, and drinks tea when he is thirsty. It doesn't matter whether he has a beautiful maid or not. Now it has changed."

"Well, let me just say, it's just that a six-year-old child can't get used to any habits. It's just that Lao Baoyu's temperament is still a bit pity, pure and open-minded. I think I can find a master for him. Considering the serious promotion of Jinshi, I know a few famous scholars, I might as well worship under them." Jia Yuanchun suggested.

"The people you know are all famous scholars and scholars. It is his good fortune to have someone accept Baoyu as his apprentice. You are right. Baoyu disdains official career and economics. Born in a family like ours, even if he is not economical It doesn't matter, if you can't eat without him, let him be a celebrity." Madam Wang now has a daughter who is famous all over the world, and a son who is rising every step of the way to rely on, and she is very optimistic.

"It's good if mother can figure it out. What about Tanchun and Huan'er, they are still obedient."

"Tanchun is very good, polite and restrained, and the nurturing mother you invited from the palace is also very attentive. It will not be a problem to train everyone to be a lady, and it will not drag down the family's reputation in the future. Huan'er is only three years old now, and she has no problem. Aunt Zhao has brought up a vulgar temperament, and there is still time to teach everything. Huan'er is sensitive, hardworking and thoughtful, I think he is a good seedling, and I am going to discuss with you what kind of enlightenment teacher to invite for him." Wang Madame said.

"Mother can see it." Jia Yuanchun thought about the little frozen cat in the original book, and it seemed that it was different.

"Anything you can't think about is my son. Aunt Zhao is also very interesting. She took the initiative to petition to take care of him. Before leaving, she took a bottle of medicine and drank it in front of me. She said it was a sterilization medicine. , promise to take good care of that person, and only entrust me to take good care of Tanchun and Huaner."

"Aunt Zhao is smart, and it's rare to have a loving mother."

"If you're not a smart person, how can you get ahead in the inner courtyard." Mrs. Wang sighed.
