[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Hearing the girl's report, both Jiamu and Mrs. Wang looked calm.Jia Min glanced at Jia Mu, no longer caring about others, and went out by herself—even though she didn't talk much to this elder brother before, but after entering Beijing, she kept hearing that he was sick in bed, but now she came to see her, it was wrong The sincerity of my married sister.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng naturally wanted to follow, along with Daiyu and Brother Kuan who hadn't had time to say hello to Jia's mother -- the two children were so startled by their grandmother's behavior just now that they could only stare wide-eyed, so naturally they had to follow along. Jia Min acted, not daring to make a sound.

Just when he reached the main hall of Rongqing Hall, Jia Amnesty was helped in by Jia Lian who had snatched him out first.Jia Min wanted to salute his elder brother, and found that although his elder brother's complexion was a little sallow, and his actions were not very neat, he stepped on the ground step by step, and there was still some water in his eyes:

"Good girl, my brother has seen you. You don't know how hard your brother has been in these years. If it weren't for the title you have, you can't leave Beijing easily. My brother would like to go to Yangzhou to meet my sister, so I can pour bitterness on my sister. I don't ask my sister to understand my brother's hard life, as long as I say it, my brother is happy." When Jia She saw Jia Min's face, he said a few words suddenly.

Without waiting for Jia Min to speak, he turned around and scolded Jia Lian: "I don't know anything about your old man living in the East Courtyard. Why didn't you know to tell me that your aunt is coming home today? If it wasn't for my daily appointment Greetings to the old lady, I almost let you, an unfilial son, hide it."

Daiyu and Brother Kuan looked at each other, and silently turned their heads away. Afraid that they might not be able to see Jia Lian's expression clearly, they turned around and saw that Jia Lian was about to kneel down to this uncle: "Yes, they are both sons." Unfilial, did not report to the master earlier." How dare I ask Jia She if he was notified early in the morning.

At this time, Mrs. Wang helped Mrs. Wang out of the inner room, and she said to Jia She, "You have always been ill, why did you wake up when you heard Min'er came back today?"

Jia Amnesty saluted Jia Mu first, then smiled at her and said, "How about my younger sister is the lucky star of the family. Now that she comes back, not only can I get up on the kang, but even the old lady can go to the fields. " After finishing speaking, he motioned Jia Lian to help him sit down: "I can only take two steps, I heard that my sister is missing when she comes back?"

Spoiled around the house: "That's not right, didn't the second child say that he was still at home thinking about the past? I have no news, people who live far away and are sick are here, and he doesn't come to see him anyway." Sister? But is there any dissatisfaction with my sister and her brother-in-law? Or did he hide out of the house knowing that my sister was going to Ning?"

Just as Jia's mother wanted him to shut up, Jia Amnesty said, panting and coughing: "If you say that the second child is too high-minded, even if you want to change places, you have to wait for the Ministry of Industry to let him go back to the Yamen before saying no. How about a person who was punished by the Ministry of Industry, which department can brother-in-law Lin tell about? What's more, brother-in-law Lin has only worked in the Ministry of Officials for a few days, and there is a minister above him, so he can't do anything. Old man Madam, talk to the second child, don't push brother-in-law Lerin too much."

Jia Min looked at Jia's mother in puzzlement. Yesterday, Lin Ruhai was only the general's mansion, so he changed the plaque, why Jia Lian and his wife were in charge of the house, and how Jia Amnesty let Jia Lian's uncle face Jia Mu and Jia Zheng without doing anything. Jia Zheng wanted Lin Ruhai to come forward to change his department.

From Jia Mu and Jia Zheng's point of view, Lin Ruhai is now the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, in charge of the promotion, transfer, and performance appraisal of officials all over the world, and whoever mentions it will not be able to deal with it immediately. up?What's more, when Jia Min was not married, he spent much longer time with Jia Zheng than Jia Amnesty, and his relationship was better. As Jia Min's husband, Lin Ruhai should not shirk his duty?

So now Jia Mu didn't feel that she was giving Lin Ruhai a problem: "Why are you forcing him? He is now in the Ministry of Officials, and he is in charge of the transfer of officials. You don't want to be an official, so you can't have to pull Zheng'er to be like you." Always at home."

Jia Min patted his forehead feebly: "Old lady, brother is right. After all, our master is also a first-timer..."

Jia's mother didn't expect Jia Min and Jia She to speak in the same voice, and her face sank a little.At any rate, he still thought that Jia Min would have to come forward to persuade Lin Ruhai, so he said displeasedly to Jia Min, "Your second brother can't do anything about it. He has always been diligent in his work, but he was envied by others and had to go back to the office." To avoid talking to others. It’s been a few days now, even if someone in the Ministry of Industry is jealous of him, just go to another department.”

Jia Min looked at Mrs. Wang who was looking at her eagerly, then at Mother Jia who was taking it for granted, then at Jia Amnesty who was watching a play, and inadvertently saw Brother Kuan and Daiyu Disapproval on both faces.

By the way, the two children haven't greeted the old lady yet.Jia Min hurriedly waved to Daiyu's siblings: "It's disrespectful for you to talk to your grandmother and uncle too much." Then she asked the two children to greet Jia Mu and Jia She.When Daiyu's siblings heard their mother's greeting, they first stood silently in front of Jiamu, holding back Jiamu's words that she wanted to nail the porcelain.

Jia Amnesty cursed again: "Lian'er, how did your wife manage the house? I didn't see your cousin and cousin are going to salute the old lady. These girls don't know how to get a mat for the child! Let your daughter-in-law take care of it tomorrow. The old lady here has a change of maids, the old lady likes the clever girls the most, why are they all like wood, doesn’t it make the old lady unhappy? No wonder the old lady is so angry every day. "

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng suppressed a smile, and Wang Xifeng stepped forward and said to Yuanyang, "I didn't hear the master's order, so hurry up." Everyone in Yuanyang blushed, and Jia Mu's complexion was even worse.

Finally, Daiyu and her brother had a cushion to kneel on and kowtowed to Jia Mu.How can the present mother of Jia pretend to be kind?It was just that I wanted to cry to express that I couldn't cry because I missed the two children.

After greeting Jia's mother, Daiyu and brother knelt down in front of Jia Amnesty again, "Please greet uncle." The two children's voices were clear and clear.

Jia She smiled sincerely: "Get up, you are still young, your bones are still tender, you dare not kneel down forever." He waved his hand to Madam Xing, and Madam Xing handed over the prepared things to the hands of the two children.

The girl who followed her went forward to pick up the things for the two siblings, and then the two sisters Daiyu greeted Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Xing also prepared a gift herself, while Mrs. Wang was directly embarrassed - she had an ordinary relationship with Jia Min, so the gift was very ordinary.If Mrs. Xing is the only one who comes over, she still doesn't show it. If she compares it with Jia Amnesty's gift, she won't be able to read it.But Jia Zheng hasn't come here yet, so maybe he can make up for it.

Not to mention that Jia Min didn't pay much attention to gifts, even Daiyu's siblings thought it was just a wish, and how much or how little was given depended on the sender's will.But Mother Jia couldn't see it that way, and Mrs. Wang, who had always been used to Mrs. Xing's strength, couldn't see it that way either!

The husband and wife of Dafang clearly came to make trouble for themselves.

Wang Xifeng personally stepped forward to help Daiyu and Brother Kuan to their feet. Although everyone had met outside just now, Jia Min still asked Daiyu to greet her sister-in-law again.How smart is Wang Xifeng?While saying with a smile that he didn't dare to act, he asked someone to bring up the things he had prepared.

Daiyu's is a set of pink pearl hair, while Brother Kuan's is two Persian playthings.The most wonderful thing is that the siblings each have a painting of the Song Dynasty. Wang Xifeng explained: "These two were prepared by your brother. He said that both of you siblings love painting."

Jia Min knew it, and hurriedly said: "It's too precious, how can their children see it, it's a waste of things."

Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "I'm giving this to my family. Putting this thing in my hands is just collecting ashes in the warehouse. It's better to relieve my cousin and cousin." If it weren't for Lin Ruhai, let alone living in Rongxi Tang, even the biological mother's private house does not know what it looks like.Now I can only take two things out of it, and it is better to give it away as a favor than to be rewarded by the old lady.

Seeing that Jia Min had nothing to say, Daiyu and Brother Kuan thanked Jia Lian solemnly before standing behind Jia Min.Jia Amnesty coughed again, Wang Xifeng hastily pulled the younger sister and younger brother to sit down.Daiyu said: "Aunt has not sat down yet, how can our siblings surpass the elders?"

Jia Mu had already been beaten weakly by the four people in Dafang, and said to Mrs. Xing and Wang, "you sit down too, and Feng girl and Lianer sit too."

Jia Min said to Jia's mother: "The children dare to go to school, why don't you see them?"

Jia Mu said to Yuanyang: "Go and see if Baoyu is here, let him come over quickly. And their sisters are also coming together. Today their aunt is in Ning, so she doesn't have to go to school."

Brother Kuan quietly met Daiyu's eyes because he wanted to see the dim sum, and asked his sister intentionally that yesterday's mother sent a letter saying that she would come to the door, why the younger generation has to let the elders wait?I was also afraid that my voice would be too loud, and I only hoped that my sister could understand what I meant.

Daiyu shook her head lightly, which meant to tell Brother Kuan not to talk too much. This is the rule of other people's family, maybe it is different from her own family.But Brother Kuan thought that Daiyu also disagreed, so he nodded, thinking that it was his sister who knew what he wanted.Seeing him nodding, Daiyu felt that he had understood her warning, so she turned her head to listen to the adults.

At one time, the Sanchun sisters came first, and after entering the house, they greeted the elders and greeted Jia Min.Jia Min already knew the heads of each room in the mansion, and everyone gave gifts, but Xichun was the heaviest, Tanchun was the lightest, and Yingchun was in the middle. This was different from the same gifts given by the guests who came to the mansion in the past. looked at each other.

Seeing another pair of siblings, Sanchun knew they were the children of her aunt, and looked at Wang Xifeng together.Sister Feng stood up and took Yingchun's hand to Daiyu: "This is a cousin from my aunt's family, she is three years younger than my sister, and my sister should take good care of her."

Daiyu's sister and brother stood up again, and everyone called sister, sister, and brother. It was very disturbing for a while, even Jia's mother showed some smiles on her face, and asked the girl who was looking for Jia Baoyu: "Why hasn't Baoyu come here yet?" ?”

Yuanyang had already heard what the little girl had said, so she said to Jia's mother with some embarrassment: "The second master is examining Baoyu's homework, so the little girl didn't dare to enter the study."

Jia She let out a chuckle, took a look at Jia Min without saying anything, and picked up the tea by himself to drink.Seeing this, Jia Lian persuaded in a low voice: "Master is still taking medicine, it's better to drink less tea, it's most antidote."

"I have a drink—" Jia Amnesty was about to scold Jia Lian for being troublesome, but was stared back by Jia Mu's knife-like eyes. Girl: "How do you serve the old lady? A man in Lian'er knows that people who take medicine should not drink tea, and you still have to serve tea to the old lady, which shows that the service is not careful. Tomorrow, you must replace all the maids in the old lady's room." gone."

When Yuanyang and the others heard Jia She's second mention of changing people, they all knew that he must really be thinking about changing people, and they all knelt down before Jia Mu.Not to mention that Mother Jia's smile disappeared after all, even Jia Min wondered if she didn't read the almanac when she went out today.

"Brother," Jia Min said helplessly to Jia She: "These girls and old ladies have also made arrangements, so let the old ladies make arrangements for themselves."

When Jia Mu heard Jia Min facing her, she also slapped the kang table: "It's fine if you don't pay your respects on weekdays, but once you come to Rongqing Hall after a long time, you will get rid of everyone around me. I just want to get rid of them. Can't you manipulate me?"

Jia Amnesty first listened to Jia Min's words and his face was calm. After hearing Jia's mother's accusation, he was about to stand up, but his body was weak. He supported the chair with both hands and struggled for a while, but he couldn't hold it up. Maternity:

"The old lady's words made me have no place to stand as a son. The reason why I couldn't come to pay my respects to the old lady was because I was dying of illness. It's unfilial. As for these girls, why do they want to manipulate the old lady?"

"Could it be that these girls are really attentive in serving them? If they were attentive, they wouldn't be able to tell Lian'er that no one would ask Lian'er to change the old lady's doctor these days. Telling the old lady about the things in the mansion made the old lady angry all the time."

Turning to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, he said, "This mansion belongs to your husband and wife now. Don't talk about the old lady, even your father and I are just waiting to die. You should re-establish this rule. If you don't see a girl, you still have to Call me sister, are you the master or are they the master?"

After hearing this, Jia Lian and his wife could only think about it, but Jia Min had to think about how this coincided with what Lin Ruhai said yesterday.Seeing that the old lady was about to faint, she had no choice but to persuade Jia She: "Brother, let's deal with the family affairs after I leave."

Jia Amnesty made a very persuasive look: "Yes, yes, my sister finally returned to Ning, and I was afraid that these unscrupulous servants would offend my sister, so I said a few more words."

With the people kneeling on the ground below, Jia Min said to the old lady: "The old lady should let them get up, we girls are easy to talk." Jia Mu patted her chest hard a few times, and cried out: "I What else can I say, what can I say?"

Jia Min also knew that just now Jia She kept saying that this mansion belonged to Jia Lian and his wife, and that he himself was eating and waiting to die, which was the last thing Jia's mother wanted to hear.Now that everyone in the mansion is so eccentric, just looking at it makes Jia Min feel cold.

But Gao Tang mourned in vain, and Jia Min, who is a woman, had to persuade: "Brother also thinks of the old lady wholeheartedly, but he is never good at talking, the old lady should not be as knowledgeable as him. If the old lady is sad because of this, the eldest brother will be even more worried." It’s time to feel ashamed.”

Mrs. Wang, who has been silent all this time, has already stood beside the old lady, patted her chest and back, showing her filial piety to a daughter-in-law.Jia Min let out a long sigh, and said to Jia Amnesty: "Elder brother is trying to support himself, why not go back and raise him. After I finish talking with the old lady, I will go to see elder brother."

When Jia Mu heard that the crying subsided slightly, Jia Amnesty stood up—this time she stood quite neatly, and bowed to Jia Mu: "In this case, I will go back to the East Courtyard to rest. Ma'am, take care." Jia Lian was busy supporting her.Jia She pushed his hand: "You are still with your aunt, just let your wife serve me." He took Mrs. Xing and said goodbye to Jia Min and walked away.

Before Jia Min sent Jia She and his wife out of the house, Mother Jia cried again: "Look at this wicked son, how am I going to live this day?"

Jia Min had no choice but to turn around and persuade: "Brother was quiet before, why this time?" It's a hundred times more messy than before?

Seeing that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were still here, Daiyu's siblings and Sanchun didn't dare to say a word, and cried again before she said to Wang Xifeng, "I scared your sisters just now, take them out to play quickly." Let's go. Take care not to let them quarrel. Lian'er also go and ask your old man, what kind of monster is he going to do?"

Brother Kuan walked up to Jia Min and said, "I'll stay with my wife." They were all women, and Brother Ai said do not see evil, so he didn't stay alone with these girls.But Daiyu knew that Mother Jia had something private to say to Jia Min, so she went forward and pulled Brother Kuan and said, "You see, sister Xichun is younger than you, and she didn't say she wanted to stay."

Jia Min patted his son's head: "Come with your sister, don't be afraid." Then Brother Kuan reluctantly went out.At that moment, Mrs. Wang also pointed out something and went out, leaving only the mother and daughter in the house.

Jia Min only felt that the wrinkles on the old mother's face were full of misery, and couldn't help feeling that Jia Amnesty was persecuting the old lady too hard, so she asked in a low voice: "Now the mansion is already the housekeeper of Lian'er and his wife. Returning Lian'er, why is the eldest brother still not satisfied with the prescription?" Normal people are not like Jia She's today.

Mother Jia sighed: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat. I thought your eldest brother was attacked by the prince. You went first and the elder sister-in-law went early, and you also saw the latter one. It was very embarrassing, so I asked Wang's housekeeper .Who knows this Wang family..."

Mrs. Wang returned the 10,000+ silver from Gongzhong. Jia Min also heard from Lin Ruhai and nodded clearly: "Now that all the accounts of Gongzhong are correct, it will be fine."

Jia Mu shook her head: "What's the matter? I don't know when your elder brother started thinking like this. Two days ago, the person who looked after the house in Jinling sent a letter, saying that he had sent someone to check the sacrifice fields over there. repair costs."

So these two things can't stand the investigation? !Jia Min is also the head of the family. After hearing this, she couldn't help persuading Jia's mother: "Now that the family is in the hands of Lian'er and his wife, the second brother will always be separated, and the old lady does not have to stop the elder brother from investigating. The laws of the country and the rules of the family are in place. There, what the second sister-in-law does next can only be taken care of by herself."

When Jia Mu heard this, she was furious: "Why doesn't he think about it? How much property will your second brother get in the future just because he attacked the noble? What's more, it's a good thing he can figure out how to hand over this house to Lian'er. Just, what can I do? Baoyu is the one who has great fortune!"

"Mother." Jia Min felt that he could not persuade him: "Baoyu is the second son of the second room, and there is Lan'er in front of him."

When it comes to this Mother Jia, she is even more angry. Why does everyone have to be in front of her Baoyu?He snorted angrily and said, "Lan'er is only so old, a child of how old can see anything."

Jia Min had to say, "Compared with Lian'er, how old is Baoyu?"

The words were not speculative, and Jia's mother patted the kang table again: "Baoyu was born with jade, and there is a sister in the palace. Yuanchun was born in the first year of the new year, and it is the birthday of the Duke of the country, and it will also be the birthday of the nobleman in the future." Xiang, I will help her brother." Thinking of helping Jia Baoyu, he complained about Jia Min and said: "I said on that day that the two jade children would make a pair, but you can't be the master of my uncle, or you can let my uncle Teach Baoyu." Another ready-made helper.

Jia Min almost got angry.She had already heard Lin Ruhai and Shen Yue talk about Jia Baoyu. Up to now, she was still studying for three days fishing and two days posting nets.Could it be that his great fortune is that everyone has to help him for free, and it is impossible to treat him as the emperor?When Shen Yue was as old as Jia Baoyu, he was already trying to get rare flowers for himself from the greenhouse.

So people's hearts are always biased, just as Jia's mother sees Jia Baoyu as good in everything, and Jia Min's view of Shen Yue is also satisfied with everything.Hearing that Mother Jia brought up the matter of the two Yu'er, and even reunited with her mother after a long absence, Jia Min also felt dissatisfied: "Yu'er is already engaged, the old lady should not make things ahead of time, if the Shen family hears How do you think about Yu'er? Besides, Yue'er has always been considerate and thinks of Yu'er at all times, I don't think anyone can compare to him."

This time it was Jia's mother's turn to be angry: "Baoyu is also a careful child, and he is used to being considerate of girls. Which girl would not want to play with him? Even the sisters can give in when they are together."

It's okay not to mention the girl, but when it comes to the girl, why can't Jia Min remember that just a few days ago, the old lady wanted to give Lin Ruhai a girl who could serve her close?Jia Min, who grew up in a noble family, knew what kind of girl could serve her master closely.

This also made Jia Min think that he decided to turn the two dowry girls off in less than two years after they got married. It was the girl Qiang who grew up with him.

The result is that the husband and I are almost divorced, and I become the laughing stock of Qingliu's family, and it is not the two girls who are being manipulated, but myself, the mistress!Jia Min finally stopped smiling: "The Lin family is the master who doesn't call the girl sisters."

Mother Jia was even more displeased when she heard this: "Don't forget that you grew up in Jia's family, and you called everyone Lai to be your sister when you were young."

When did my mother behave so improperly? Is it because she is a daughter and the old lady is not separated from her?Jia Min shook her head self-consciously: "I finally met the old lady, and it's time for mother and daughter to make out. The old lady doesn't like to listen, so I just don't want to persuade her."

Seeing that Jia Min said not to persuade her anymore, Mother Jia has already realized that she made Jia She very angry today, and it is not good to vent her anger on anyone, but on her daughter, which makes her daughter feel a little bit angry. Chilling.

The last time the son-in-law came back disappointed, he didn't go to the general's mansion again. If the daughter is still like this, Zheng'er... Jia's mother shed tears again: "Now in this mansion, I don't have a single person to talk to." , if I don’t complain to you, who else would I dare to talk to?”
