[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 50

Jia Shishi was very depressed recently, Jia Daishan wrote a letter requesting that the title be let Jia Lian take over, not to mention, but also to arrange for the two families to separate when they are both still there.Although she said that she would distribute more property with the second room for the sake of sharing more property with the second room, being an old lady in Ronghou's mansion is a completely different concept from being an old lady in Baiding's family!

In order to gain more resources for Jia Zheng, she has been lying low in front of Jia Daishan recently.Since the death of the previous Mrs. Guogong, she has never lived such a life. Jia Daishan stayed in the capital for relatively little time. Although the Rongguo Mansion is managed by the Zhang family, she alone How could it be possible for a daughter-in-law not to give her mother-in-law any face at all.

It's a pity that Jia Daishan only agreed in the end that her dowry should be handled by herself, instead of being divided equally between the two households as usual.For Jia Shishi, this is also a victory. Although Jia Daishan sorted out her dowry according to the dowry list, there are only the original ones, but after decades, the original [-] dowry has increased in value.

It's just that this victory doesn't mean much to Jia Shishi, so she still gets angry because of the separation.

"Old lady, today the kitchen has brought new dishes such as garlic-roasted chicken drumsticks, pheasant and crucian carp soup, and fried black fungus with green bamboo shoots. Would you like some?" Jia Shishi's sixth maid, Yuanyang, helped the old lady come Go to the table and sit down, "Your spleen and stomach are not very good and you are on fire recently, these dishes are just right."

Now that Jia Daishan is still there, it is impossible for Jia Shishi to order as many water plates as he did in his previous life.One meat, one vegetable and one soup, this is the cost of each meal for the masters of the Rongguo Mansion, if you want to add more dishes, you can pay for it yourself.However, under the care of Mrs. Zhang, the servants of Jia's mansion did not dare to act like in the original book. The masters wanted to eat something without giving a reward or doing it or talking about it, and they still babbled at the masters Sarcasm run.

"Fortunately, you are by my side, Yuanyang." Jia Shishi reached out and patted the back of Yuanyang's hand.She still trusts the big maids around her, even though what she trusts is not these maids, but her own training/teaching ability.

The mandarin duck smiled slightly, and picked up the ivory chopsticks with onion-like fingers and gave it to Jia Shishi: "The pheasant and black fungus were sent by the second wife Zhuangzi. The second wife didn't keep much, so I brought them first." Respect the old lady. This pheasant can nourish the spleen and Qi, and it is very beneficial for people with weak spleen and stomach. Black fungus can nourish Qi and blood, which is the most suitable for the old lady to eat now. Busy with moving matters, the second wife also said that she would bring Miss Yuan to serve the old lady for dinner."

After taking a mouthful of the delicious pheasant and crucian carp soup, and another mouthful of black fungus, Jia Shishi smiled and nodded with wrinkled face: "The old lady's family is filial piety, so I can't go wrong with my choice. The boss is doing very well, but compared to the sensible second, the boss will only be angry with me."

Yuanyang doesn't speak, so she can't beat the side drum too much.Besides, Jia Shishi can say that the old man is not good, but they are scary and can't comment on the master casually.

Speaking of which, there are not many servants in the Ronghou Mansion who are willing to share with the Second Household. Being a servant of the Hou Mansion is completely different from being a servant of Bai Ding's family.But who let her father and mother work in Mrs. Wang's yard? My mother is also the daughter of Mrs. Wang's accompanying room.

After lunch served by mandarin ducks, Jia Shishi drank a cup of tea and went to lie down on the bed.The things she was going to move were almost arranged. Fortunately, this time Jia Daishan didn't even allow her to move the decorations like last time.Although at that time she said that she wanted to follow the second room impulsively, but after she calmed down, she thought about it and it was really the right choice.

Because of her, the second room got two more layers of property, and in the whole family, she is the only old lady who has a commandment. It's no wonder that the second room didn't do her best for this old lady. I haven't seen that a lot of her food and clothing are from the second family. Did you send it?

As for the Ronghou Mansion, it's fine when the old man Jia Daishan is alive. As long as she is gone, how can they not agree to what she wants from the Ronghou Mansion?

The old lady fell asleep contentedly while speculating. In the warm pavilion behind Rongxi Hall, Mrs. Zhang's complexion was not very good-looking, and Nanny Song sat on the little bed next to her with her head bowed.

"It's all arranged, Mammy?" After a long while, Mrs. Zhang finally spoke.

"Yes, ma'am, you can rest assured. Those things were specially sent by the farmer on her farm after the second wife knew it was good for her health." Nanny Song knew that Zhang's arrangement must have deep meaning, and she, as long as Just do it.

"Well, from now on, after the old lady and the second room move out, she will continue to do this." Mrs. Zhang waved her hand wearily, "You go down first, Mammy, I want to be alone for a while."

"Yes, the servant will leave." Nanny Song got up and slowly retreated.

Looking at the peach tree whose flowers had all withered and grown new leaves outside the glass, Zhang's eyes were dreamy.Her Lian'er grew up so fast that she was surprised by it.She is not a qualified mother, other people's children grow up under the wings of their mothers, but her mother is more protected by her children.

She understood Jia Lian's arrangement this time, but she still couldn't accept it frankly.In any case, Jia Shishi is Jia Lian's grandmother, but he plotted against her without hesitation in private, although it was for the future of the Ronghou Mansion, but this was too cold-blooded.

Mrs. Zhang knew that her hands were no longer clean, but she would never be as ruthless as Mrs. Wang.

"Mother, in your heart, is Lian'er more important, or grandma and your conscience?"

Jia Lian's words made Zhang choose him without hesitation.But this hurdle in my heart is not so easy to pass.Mrs. Wang's people around Jia Shishi naturally also have her people.She only knew that the stack of recipes was harmful to the human body, but she didn't know the details, but she also knew that Jia Shishi was always weak and angry, and occasionally had mild diarrhea.

Why is Jia Shishi getting older, although his body looks healthy, but these minor ailments and pains are much more serious, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, when the time comes, the body will collapse in an instant.At least Jia Lian guaranteed Jia Shishi's life, and promised her that if Jia Shishi's life was really in danger, he would definitely take action.

That's it, right?

Choices are always painful, Zhang can only hypocritically hypnotize herself like this.Jia Shishi just suffers a little bit, didn't she also suffer from that poison/drug for a long time.Back then, Jia Shishi did not report his knowledge, and she is doing the same now.Eating food is a good thing, it's just that Jia Shishi's body can't stand it.

On the ninth day of June, it is advisable to move.

The main gate of Ronghou Mansion was wide open, and the servants moved out big boxes and put them on the carriage at the gate from time to time.A group of people stood not far away and pointed at the busy gate of Ronghou Mansion, exchanging information from time to time.

A man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said in a sharp voice: "See, the rumors a while ago are all true, and the Ronghou Mansion is really separated!"

"What's so strange about this is that the current head of the Ronghou Mansion is the Second Master Lian. Master Zheng is the uncle of the Second Master Lian. He can't possibly stay at his nephew's house." The person next to him said noncommittally.

"Speaking of family separation, I heard that the old Duke's wife will also go with Mr. Zheng, so the old Duke divided the property except the family property and imperial gifts into two and divided them equally between the two families." The man in blue clothes opened the folding fan twice, and after seeing that he had attracted the attention of many people, he continued proudly, "There is a servant in my family who is in contact with the servant of the Ronghou Mansion, and they say it is Mrs. Lian Guogong." His dowry was also given to Mr. Zheng."

"Hey, Mr. Zheng really made money!" The man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was full of envy, "Although they are all sons, the eldest son who inherits the clan will take the majority. In this way, half of them will be divided, and Mr. Xie and Lian Did the second master have no objections?"

The man holding the folding fan said with a smile: "So the eldest house of the Rongguo Mansion is of a high level. The wife of the Duke wants to follow the second house, so the first house can't stop it. Since the second house wants to support the old lady, the property will be divided in half. ; Not only that, but the Dafang has to pay 5000 taels of filial piety to the duke and wife of the country every year."

"5000 taels!" Someone next to him was envious, "The fertile land around the capital is only 5000 or [-] taels per mu. How much land can you buy with [-] taels? This big house is quite generous!"

"You should say that the old lady's expenses are really high. Our family's annual expenses are only two or three hundred taels, which is too much. Do you think this old lady wears gold and silver or eats dragon liver and phoenix marrow? ah!"

The people around said yes again and again, talking about the 5000 taels of silver in full swing.

And the man in Tsing Yi with the fan smiled slyly and left here quickly.He did everything Jia Lian asked him to do, and he got five altars of peach blossoms.However, life in this wealthy family is really difficult. They are all relatives of flesh and blood, so they have to calculate in this way. It is better to play games like him in the world and feed the whole family by himself.

Jia Daishan arranged for the second bedroom to be a five-entry mansion, not too far from Ronghou Mansion, only five streets and three alleys away, and it would take less than half an hour to take a carriage.Although he had no choice but to give up the second room, but he was close to Ronghou's mansion so he could help with anything.

Jia Daishan believed that Jia Lian was not a person who would not save himself, and perhaps he would stand by and watch what happened to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.But for Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun, who are still cousins ​​connected by blood, Jia Lian will not be so cruel.

The gate of Ronghou Mansion was slowly closed, and Jiang Jie came to Lixiangyuan.

"They're all gone?" The old man sat behind the desk, his voice a little depressed.

"Yes, the eldest wife arranged many people to go with the second master and the others, as well as those servants who went to clean the mansion first. The eldest wife has handed over their contracts of sale to the second wife." Jiang Jie bowed his head and reported to Jia Daishan .

"The elders are always virtuous, so I don't have to worry about this." Jia Daishan narrowed his eyes, "I asked you to arrange it, have you arranged it?"

"It's all arranged, old man." Jiang Jie lowered his head even more.

Jia Daishan's arrangement seemed like a chill to his confidant, and he only hoped that the old lady would settle down after leaving with the second room, otherwise she would be better off than dead .
