[Quick Transmigration] The Red Chamber abused me a thousand times

Mrs. Xing, with the permission of Jia's mother, also attended several banquets of other people's homes, looked at the girls from middle-class families in Jinling City, and picked out five or six outstanding girls.

It's just that she still didn't have much self-confidence, so she told Jia Mu about the situation of those girls.Mother Jia knew the direction of this world, and she was afraid that something wrong with Xing Zhong would hurt her family in the future, so she explained to Mrs. Xing the inappropriateness of two of them-the master behind her was unknown, and she was afraid that she would be trapped in the future. disaster.

After Mrs. Xing heard this, how dare she choose such a person to be her sister-in-law?You know, no matter how high she is, she still values ​​Xing Zhong, the younger brother at this time.In the end, he only listened to Jia's mother's opinion, picked out three girls from the scholars' homes, and waited for his brother's grades to be released before deciding which one to marry.

It also has the face of the Ronghou Mansion. Xing Zhong finally decided to be the second daughter of the Jinling Xuezheng Yao family. What people value is the Ronghou Mansion behind Xing Zhong, and what Jiamu values ​​​​is that Yao Xuezheng will be the new emperor in the future. The minister who can use it.After everyone took what they needed, Xing Zhong's marriage was settled.

At this point, the Jinling matter was settled, and the big ship set sail. After leaving Beijing for more than two years, the family of the Ronghou Mansion was about to return to Beijing.

Along the way, what surprised Jia's mother the most was that Jia Lian stopped being playful, but started learning with Mr. Liu on the swaying boat every day.Fearing that his body would not be able to bear it, Jia's mother specially asked Jia Lian to tell Jia Lian that he was not allowed to write, and he didn't have to work too hard, just sort out the books he had learned before.

Jia Lian personally came over to thank Jia Mu for her concern, but his enthusiasm for reading did not diminish: he had a small plan in his heart, and felt that if he worked harder now, he might not be able to end up with Jia Zhu in the next year. If Shi can also get the fame of a scholar, not only can he continue to study with Jia Zhu, but even Uncle Lin can look at him with admiration.

After drifting on the water for almost a month, it was time to disembark. The steward of Jia's mansion, who had stayed behind to look after the house, brought a car and horse to pick him up.Jia Jing also brought Jia Rong to pick up Jia Mu.Seeing Jia's mother get off the boat slightly with the support of Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, she knelt down on the ground: "Please, old lady."

Jia's mother woke up and said to Jia Jing, "Why didn't you go to the Yamen today? There are still servants at home, and Brother Rong, are you still worried?"

Jia Jing bowed to Jia's mother and said: "I haven't seen the old lady for two years. My nephew wanted to pay her respects to the old lady earlier, so he has already asked for leave from the yamen. The old lady seems to be in good health and in good spirits." He didn't Dare to underestimate the old lady in front of me: In the past two years, even the servants in Ronghou's mansion have gone to Jinling for training twice in turn, and when they come back, their energy is quite different.He also thought about asking the old lady to also tighten the skins on the servants in their own family.

"You have a heart." Jia's mother smiled and said to Jia Jing: "So let Lian'er take care of here, let's go back to the house first."

Jia Jing took another look at Jia Lian, whom he hadn't seen for two years, and found that compared to two years ago, this child was more heroic and scholarly.The most surprising thing is that the two are well integrated together, and it doesn't make people feel awkward.After a closer look, I found that the reason came from Jia Lian's pair of peach blossom eyes: I can only see that the eyes are clear and straight, and when looking at people, I don't dodge or avoid them, and I don't have the impetuous feeling that I used to scatter around at home.

The old lady will educate the children and grandchildren!Jia Jing sighed in his heart.He laughed and said, "Lian'er is still young after all, so I'm afraid she can't be thorough."

Jia's mother also smiled: "A child has to go through things before he can grow up. He is the head of the family in the future. At this time, if he is not allowed to start with family affairs first, when will he be able to get in the way by himself?" Jia's mother She really thought so in her heart, she asked Jia Lian to stay, not because she wanted to train him to be a manager like in the original book, but because she wanted him to be in charge and know what things she brought back from home this time. How things should be placed.

Dare to do this, because Mother Jia has some confidence in her family's servants after training, and she is not afraid that they will deceive the master in the name of damage and loss in private.Yin said to Jia Lian with a smile: "Lian'er will let grandma see your skills this time."

Jia Lian had already met Jia Jing, and now he just smiled, and the peach blossom eyes had some original shadows: "Grandma, don't worry, I will not let grandma down."

Mother Jia nodded encouragingly to him, let Jia Shen and the others surround her, got into the sedan chair and went home.The mansion had received the letter long ago, and it had already been restructured: Jia Amnesty's family went straight back to Rongxi Hall, while Jia's mother entered Rongqing Hall as agreed on the road.Jia Zheng's family did not live in the east courtyard, but the west courtyard.

When Jia's mother washed up again, Jia Jing's mother, his daughter-in-law, and Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law were already waiting there.He greeted each other with the old Xu family, and received the gifts from the young Xu family and Liu family.Mother Jia smiled and said to Old Xu: "We went back to Jinling to observe mourning for two years, why is my sister-in-law still polite to me, I should go to see my sister-in-law."

Old Mrs. Xu actually didn't want to come to see Jia's mother, but his son said that Jia Zhen would need the help of his brothers in the future, and he couldn't be separated from Ronghou's mansion at this time, so he came reluctantly.However, seeing Mother Jia's approachable manner, and the words she said were pleasant to my ears, I couldn't help laughing and said: "I haven't seen you in the past two years, and I have lost people to talk with, so I don't want you to be tight."

Jia's mother had already looked through the memory of the original owner, and knew that the relationship between this sister-in-law and herself was not enough, but she didn't show it at all: "Why not. It turns out that we don't show it when we get along every day. I am also thinking about my sister-in-law. It's just that my sister-in-law doesn't look very well, but did you invite the imperial doctor?"

If it had been the case, Old Xu might have felt that Mother Jia would be unhappy when she met her, but now she only saw concern on her face and worries in her eyes, and she couldn't help but sighed: "Isn't Jinger troublesome?" of."

Jia's mother was puzzled and said: "I heard that Jing'er was no longer in the Imperial Academy after he became a filial piety. Where can I put it?"

Old Xu should have been happy to hear Jia's mother praise her son and belittle Jia She and Jia Zheng.It's just that she hasn't seen her eldest grandson for several months, how can she be happy: "You don't know, Jing'er only said that day that Zhen'er went to the Beijing camp to practice, but who knows that it's not a few months? If I don’t say anything when I see you, I won’t be able to send things in.”

It seems that Jia Jing really wants to break Jia Zhen over.Jia's mother is happy to see the success of this: "I also heard Xie'er say this once, saying that Zhen'er has really made a lot of progress in the past two years. When she entered the camp, she was just a big soldier. Now she can rely on her own ability I also became the head of the corps. It can be seen that the children still have to go out to experience things before they can support the family, and the sister-in-law is just waiting to enjoy the blessing."

Just as we were talking, Mrs. Xing and Yuan Chun had also come over. The two of them seemed to have tidied up again. Old Mrs. Xu had to suffer from the head of the two, and then talked about the cold and warm, so he could no longer complain to Jia Mu .

Holding Yuan Chun's hand, Mrs. Xu said to Jia's mother, "Yuan Chun is already so old, it's about time. Do you have any regulations?" Jia Jing did not hide the matter of Mrs. Wang from his mother. , so she only asked Jia Mu and did not mention Mrs. Wang who was still imprisoned in the Buddhist hall.

Yuan Chun lowered his head in embarrassment, trying to break away from Mrs. Xu's hand, but failed several times, so he could only listen to Jia Mu saying shyly: "It's not time to worry about her. But I'm leaving Beijing For two years, the old relatives didn’t move around much, and they didn’t know who had a good child. My sister-in-law also took care of me.”

Old Xu looked at Yuan Chun's blushing full moon face, because she lowered her head, she couldn't see the expression in her eyes clearly, she could only find that her eyelashes were fluttering like frightened butterfly wings, she was very pitiful and lovely .Then he said to Jia Mu: "Such a neat child, don't you?" Didn't you have the idea of ​​letting her fight for wealth?It turns out that my sister-in-law, but what I say and what I say is the girl in front of me, so I have a great fortune.

Jia Mu shook her head and said: "In their generation, she is the only girl, so I prefer her more. How can I let her not see each other for a few years? It is necessary to find someone close who can come back to see me from time to time. good."

Yuan Chun couldn't sit still at this time, so he broke away from old Mrs. Xu's hand, went to sit next to Mrs. Liu and said, "Why do grandma and great-aunt only make fun of me?" All the women in the room laughed, knowing her It's really embarrassing, so I won't talk about it any more.

In the end, he was sympathetic to Jia Mu and others who were tired from the long journey, and the old Xu said a few words to Jia Mu, and then took his daughter-in-law and grand-daughter-in-law back to his mansion.Xiao Xu saw that her aunt and mother-in-law were a little depressed, and asked: "What's wrong with the old lady, but do you think there is something wrong in that house?"

Old Xu said: "What's wrong with their mansion? You haven't seen their slaves, each of them seems to be much more advanced than our mansion. They are all the same family, why are the slaves over there Does it look so polite?"

Xu remembered what Jia Jing had told her, and wanted to ask Ronghou's mansion to train the servants of her mansion, but she was rejected by Jia's mother at that time, so she didn't mention it to her mother-in-law.At this time, I explained to my mother-in-law: "I heard from the master. He said that the slaves in the mansion have been trained. Now if they are not on duty, they still have to be trained."

"Training?" Old Xu had never heard of this word before: "What is there to train a slave? Besides, what are you going to train?"

Little Xu knows: "I heard that at the beginning, I just asked the servants to memorize the family's rules for slaves. If they don't memorize, they will not be allowed to work. Later, I saw that they memorized all the rules. And let the top performers everywhere give lessons to others, so that everyone knows how to do the work and how to make the master comfortable, and you can't be the master's house and make decisions for the master in private."

Old Xu was still a little puzzled: "The original rules of our two mansions are similar. It's just that they were a little too strict, so from your grandmother's generation, many of them are not used anymore. Could it be that the West mansion is thinking about it as before? Can you kill someone with a stick?"

Little Xu shook her head and said: "I heard that the servants from Aunt Min's family were the ones who were hired in the West Mansion to help train them. The Lin family is also a scholar family, so how could they be used to things like that? There are quite a few rules like this, but there are also many other things added. Not only today, but I read it, and I think that the servants in the mansion are very organized in their advances and retreats."

Even Mrs. Liu listened.She had also been to the Rongguo Mansion to pay her respects before, and she had to smile for the honorable lady in charge of the Rongguo Mansion at that time.But today I didn't say that I didn't see many familiar faces, even if I still knew them, I asked her to go down early, and I didn't say a word, and I didn't see anyone rushing to curry favor with her, the grandma of Dongfu. .

"Old lady, do you think the servants in our mansion need to be trained?" After all, young people have no difficulty accepting new vocabulary. Liu only thinks about the housekeepers in his family. Relying on the face of the old lady and his wife, he couldn't hide his excitement in his heart if he asked her a small or big problem.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu also know that although Mrs. Liu is the housekeeper's grandma, not all the housekeepers give face to this grandma.It is really normal for her to ask such a question now.

Old Mrs. Xu just lowered her head to drink tea, while Mrs. Xu said to Mrs. Liu: "After all, the West Mansion has just come back. I am afraid that my own mansion will have to be busy for a while." Seeing Mrs. Liu's face, she was a little disappointed, and her heart sank. I am also a little dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law, which is too impatient, no wonder my son doesn't like it.But now the son can't see her, but the grandson was born to her, so it's not good to be too shameless, and said: "When the mansion is over, you can go and ask the eldest wife for help."

Liu's face changed into a happy look again: "Thank you, madam. I will ask the eldest lady in a few days."

Here, Mother Jia still doesn't know about the training of her family's slaves, which is already on people's minds. Her old man is discussing with her two sons: "Since we have already returned to Beijing, the boss must not enter the palace to thank you tomorrow. The second child Also go to the Ministry of Officials to see what kind of official position is given to you. Your father finally asked you to be an official, so you have to do well." Don't be like the original book, a fifth-rank has been in office for more than [-] years ah.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng answered yes, and Jia's mother said: "Boss, although we have kept our filial piety for three years, there are still people who are thinking about the repayment of money and the reform of the government. No matter who is embarrassing You, you are not allowed to fight fiercely with others, let alone quarrel with others. You only said that you obeyed your will, do you know?" Jia Amnesty admires his mother so much now, it's not because what she said is what it is ?Anyway, he himself is just a coward, can he pretend to be cowardly?

"The second one, I'm afraid I won't give you any good officials at the beginning. No matter how you are, you are not born in a proper way, and they want to squeeze you away. Don't think that you are from the Duke's Mansion, you are Scholars, what kind of scholarly temper do you have? Just pretend that you can’t hear what others say, and do what you are assigned. If you don’t divide it, just bring books from home to read.” Think about it, if Jia Zheng really brought books to read, I’m afraid Shouldn't it be the same as in the original book?

So Jia's mother changed her words again: "This is not good. You can see how the little steward in our family flatters the big steward and the housekeeper? Learn from it. When you see people, salute more, ask more questions and laugh more. After five or six days Just ask the person who bows to you for advice. Don't look down on the little officials, those people have not changed in the yamen for decades."

Although Jia Zheng was still a little disapproving, he had been brainwashed by the two gentlemen and his staff for so many days. Knowing that what his mother said was the way to enter the officialdom for the first time, he let go of his little pride and respectfully agreed. .

Jia Lian has already returned to the mansion, and went to clean up in his own yard, and also came to report to the elders the results of his watching the delivery of the servants.Jia Mu didn't wait for him to finish, she was already boasting and admiring to reward him: "As expected, my Lian'er has grown up and can take care of your father." She immediately forced Jia Amnesty to reward him he.

Seeing that his son knows how to make progress these days, Jia She likes it in his heart.Taking advantage of Jia's mother's excitement, the hand was a 500 tael bank note. Jia's mother said angrily, "Lian'er is still young, how can I give him so much money all at once?" If he took the money to eat, drink and play what to do?Mother Jia wanted to tear Jia Amnesty alive.

Jia Amnesty is quite reasonable: "When my son was his age, he had already gone out to socialize by himself, and he had a lot of money on him. Now that Lian'er is back in Beijing, maybe some of his old friends and playmates have heard about him. Come back and go out with him for a walk."

Jia's mother said angrily: "Have you forgotten that all the friends Lian'er made before were from some old relatives! How do those children compare with my current Lian'er? Not to mention that they can't get along, but they can Let's have a meal together, I'm afraid they will lure my Lianer to a dirty place."

Speaking of this, Jia Amnesty couldn't continue arguing.Because the Qizi people that Jia Lian used to know were really all the children of the Rongguo Mansion, and they were also some honorable families who refused to study hard, and would be able to claim a modest title in the future—like attracts like, It has been true since ancient times.

Jia Lian saw that his grandmother and his father were worried about him, so he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, grandma and father. Thinking about it, it's not just that we don't want to associate with other people, maybe they don't want to associate with me either. In fact, when I came back from the pier today, I also met Ziying from Feng's family and Ruosong from Wei's family, but it was just some polite talk, not the original intimacy."

That's right, for Xungui, the entire Jia family has broken the hidden rules.They want to stay away from others, and they don't want to mess with them yet.Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing Jia Lian's little disappointed face, she still wanted to explain it: "It's better this way. My Lian'er thinks it's handled well, and those children feel ashamed." .”

Then he said to Jia She: "However, Lian'er can't just study every day, but also socialize and walk around. When you have nothing to do, you'd better take him to his grandfather's house for a while."

Jia She called out in surprise: "Mother." It was the first time Jia Lian heard someone mention his maternal ancestral home, so he raised his head to look at Jia's mother, then at Jia She, expecting someone to say a few more words, It's also good to let him know some inside information - everyone has a natal family, but his mother is born out of a stone, and no one has ever mentioned his natal family.How could he not be curious.

"No matter what happened back then, or Lian'er's mother, our Jia family always felt sorry for them. So I was just angry at them for not saving face for our Rongguo Mansion. But all these years have passed, and Lian'er has grown up so much. , I can't keep him from knowing which family my natal family belongs to. Speaking of which, his grandmother is not too young, so she should see her too. I have treated Lian'er badly all these years." In the words of Jia's mother , the tone is indescribably vicissitudes.

Jia Amnesty couldn't, no matter how he didn't want to associate with his ex-in-law's family, he couldn't say that he didn't take Jia Lian, so he had to agree.But the atmosphere couldn't return to the original state, so Mother Jia asked Jia Amnesty to take Jia Lian back to her yard, but left Jia Zheng alone.

"Second child, do you know why I left you here?" Mother Jia asked.

Jia Zheng said honestly: "This son really doesn't know. Is it because my mother is afraid that I will go to the yamen and relapse into my original high-minded and ignorant temperament, so she wants to ask me extra?"

Jia's mother shook her head: "You can think of these yourself, which shows that the two gentlemen are doing their best, so I don't need to say more. What I want to tell you now is Lian'er's natal family."

When talking about Jia Lian's family, how can you tell yourself?Jia Zheng had a bad premonition.Sure enough, what Jia Mu said made him feel that he might as well have never heard of it: "Back when you went to the elder sister-in-law first, I don't blame the Zhang family for being angry. There are some things that cannot be covered up by coincidence. But I asked people to check Let's check... Alas, I was the one who was afraid that you brothers would not get along because of this, so I reluctantly suppressed it, but I didn't know that the Zhang family would be dissatisfied in the end, and they no longer have any contact with my family these years. After all, I am sorry for Lian'er."

Jia Zheng felt that the joy that he was about to become an official soon dissipated with the old lady's words, and there was a gloomy feeling in his heart: "Such an unworthy person is still here today. Mother, my son thinks that she can't bring the Zhu'er brothers and sisters down." There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.

Divorce his wife if something happens, who taught him this trick?Mother Jia thought about it for a while, and decided to put this complaint aside and talk about her plan: "The reason why I didn't say it in front of your elder brother today is because I am afraid that there will be a gap between your brothers. If you want to divorce your wife so suddenly, it will make you feel sad." Do you want to go elsewhere?"

Just now when he said he was going to take Jia Lian to his natal family, Jia Zheng was about to divorce his wife. No matter who was in Jia Amnesty's position, he had to think about the connection here.Jia Zheng knew that his method was not good, but now he was really worried that his daughter would imitate Wang's temper.

I heard Jia Mu say: "You don't have to worry about Yuanchun, she is a child who sees things and understands things. Now she is getting along well with the eldest wife. I wonder if it is Yuanchun's marriage in the future, and she will help her to look after each other. It's a nice face, and it will bring her closer to Yuan Chun."

This Jia Zheng has no opinion at all - he does not intend to release Mrs. Wang.For Yuanchun's marriage, either the old lady or the eldest wife looked at each other, and he couldn't just take the man and take the daughter to attend the flower parties and banquets of the women's family.

Seeing that he agreed, Mother Jia said another thing she was thinking: "And your own yard, it's not good to be empty all the time."
