[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

The two Shen Chao brothers are good, and it is nothing new for people who have girls to worry about them.It was not her son-in-law that others were thinking about, so Jia Min had no choice but to persuade Mrs. Liu: "It's all in the past. People like us make a deal. If we don't agree with the move, we will leave the marriage and find another one. Today is another day. The good life of the two children, just pretend not to hear it."

Mrs. Liu was still thinking: "She is also a thoughtful person, why did she say such a thing suddenly today?" Does she not care about the future exchanges between the two governments, or her daughter's reputation?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Wang Xifeng smiling and being guided by someone: "I'm late, please don't blame me for being lazy, Auntie. Please be safe, Auntie." The words she said spoke of every aspect of her life and revealed her closeness to the two of them.

Liu put down her thoughts, smiled and said to Wang Xifeng, "It's really late, and I'll punish you with two cups for entering the table later."

Wang Xifeng still smiled and said, "Don't talk about two cups, as long as my aunt doesn't feel bad, I can punish you with two jars."

Seeing that Jia Min didn't move, Mrs. Liu knew that she wanted to have a few words of kindness with Wang Xifeng. As the host, she couldn't leave for too long, so she nodded to the two and turned around to leave.

Seeing the unabated smile on Wang Xifeng's face, Jia Min felt relieved: There have been no major incidents in the General's Mansion in the past two years, but minor incidents have continued in Jiamu's place.Even if Jia Zheng has already returned to the Ministry of Industry to work on business, and has a brother-in-law who is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, how can he be willing to be a Yuanwailang all the time?

Jia Zheng himself was unwilling to bow his head to Lin Ruhai, so he let Jia's mother find excuses to let Jia Min come to the house to speak.Jia Min's heart was already chilled, and he only saw each other on New Year's Day, and he refused to send a single footstep to the general's mansion on weekdays.If Jia's mother used the New Year's Eve to talk about Jia Zheng's affairs, Jia Min would push him away on the grounds that Jia Zheng's performance was poor every year.

Jia Zheng has no hope here, and Jia's mother thinks of Jia Baoyu who has made great fortune.Fortunately, she also knows that no matter how good people are, they have to read well to be more convincing. Jia Min had to tell Lin Ruhai to accept Jia Baoyu as a student, and even complained that the Lin family had a place in the Imperial Academy. to nephew.

Jia Min almost made Jia's mother angry: that day, Lin Ruhai gave Shen Yue the place in the Lin family's Imperial College, and that was to let Shen Yue stay in Beijing and change his name.That kid lived up to everyone's expectations, because Lin Ruhai won so many first moves, otherwise how could he have retreated from the salt administration?

Even without these, not to mention that the Lin family still has Brother Kuan who needs to use the quota of the Imperial College, but Shen Yue is the uncle of the Lin family. Over the years, he has been considerate of Lin Ruhai and himself, and he has been more careful about Daiyu and his brother. Jia Baoyu, who came out by himself and didn't know anyone called him, came out to pay a visit to the sky.

So Jia Min replied more simply: "I heard that Baoyu will be an official called Lu Beetle, and I hate dealing with these people the most. The Guozijian are all officials' children, and those people will not let Baoyu be smoked." Jia Mu was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time.

He wanted to scold Jia Min for disregarding the life and death of his mother's family, but Jia Lian's temperament changed a lot after he went to the household department to work as a writer.Not to mention being smooth and steady in dealing with things, he was able to settle down to do things, and he was promoted to a rank, and now he is also from the sixth rank.Mother Jia knew that it was the Zhang family who made the effort, so the Lin family must have done something about it. Didn't the Minister of Household Affairs be Shen Yue's grandfather?

So Jia's mother changed from looking for Jia Min's troubles to picking up big houses.The one who bears the brunt is naturally Wang Xifeng who lives in Rongxitang—who made her, the grandma who is the granddaughter-in-law of the family, have to serve her mother-in-law all the time?

That's why Jia Min was very worried just now that Mother Jia was acting as a monster at home again, otherwise, with Wang Xifeng's exquisite temperament, she shouldn't have come so late.At this time, Wang Xifeng was a little plump compared to the previous two years, and the expression on her face had changed from a flamboyant one to a peaceful one, which made people feel close.

Seeing Jia Min looking at herself worriedly, her heart warmed up: "Don't worry, Auntie. It's just that the old lady heard that I was going to congratulate the Chen Brothers, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for me to bring Mao'er, so she wanted to take care of me. Who knows The master misses his grandson, so he must see him right away. I had no choice but to send the child to the East Courtyard in person. I wanted to bring Yingchun to walk around for a while, but I can't."

With just a few words, Jia Min knew that Wang Xifeng was able to escape from the general's mansion to be a guest just now, it must have been through a commotion.Seeing her normal expression, she sighed: "It's hard for you. Fortunately, you have also experienced it."

Wang Xifeng's face changed into a wry smile: "So what if you don't get out of the experience? You can only suffer slowly. Someone behind the old lady came up with an idea, and someone in the front was the vanguard, so I had no choice but to hang out with them. I just wanted to Don't touch my Maoer, everyone don't want to stop." At the end, his eyes became cold and severe, allowing Jia Min to see the little woman who was like a wounded mother beast when she just returned to Beijing.

Who was the one who came up with the idea, and who was the vanguard, Jia Min knew very well.No matter how much mother-daughter friendship, Jia's mother has exhausted her time and time again in the past few years. She can only smile and say to Wang Xifeng: "I'm going out now, so I can relax for a while." After hearing this, Wang Xifeng agreed and followed her in. The house greeted Mrs. Shen, and sat quietly beside Jia Min without saying much.

Mrs. Mu seemed to be really just making a joke. Jia Min didn't hear her talk after entering the room, so she went to the banquet with everyone talking and laughing.

Even though Prince Zhongshun was present on the official side, Shen Xin didn't dare to trust him, he had Shen Shangshu to accompany him.The two of them did not share the same table with others, and set up a single table at the top to show the Shen family's respect.

Prince Zhongshun still wants to give way: "This prince is just impatient sitting in the mansion, so he came here to ask for a drink. I am trying to make a scene, so what's the fun with just the two of us?" Thinking of greeting Shen Chao and Shen Yue brothers accompany.

Shen Shangshu hurriedly said: "They are just late school graduates, how dare they sit with the prince? According to the rule, ministers should not sit with the prince. Today is already over the limit."

Prince Zhongshun had no choice but to take the chief seat.He is just a bald prince, and he is more than 30 years younger than Shen Shangshu, and he has never spoken a few words on weekdays. How can there be any common topics?It's just that Shen Shangshu invites wine, food, wine, and food.Shen Yue, who kept toasting with Shen Xin, was embarrassed and panicked for Prince Zhongshun: Does this prince regret coming to Shen's house now?

Of course Prince Zhongshun regretted it a bit!But he had to come again.

According to what others said to him, the Shen family responded to everyone in the Qingliu, but they were also courtiers of the royal family, so how could they come to him as a prince without calling him?If he behaved respectfully and respectfully as a corporal, the Shen family would definitely be terrified of him.Who knows that I am here, the Shen family is indeed polite and respectful, but it is only polite and respectful!

Those people said that they could use the Shen family to make friends with the courtiers. There were quite a few people who flattered them just now, but Prince Zhongshun looked down upon them.According to the ideas instilled in him by those people, once he came out as a prince, he should be worshiped by important officials of the court, but those who flattered him just now were mostly small officials below the fourth rank.All those who are doctors and above, like Shen Shangshu, are not lacking in thoughtfulness and closeness to themselves.

This made Prince Zhongshun couldn't help but think of what his mother and concubine said to himself: "Don't listen to those people telling you that the virtuous live in it. Just think about it, you went out from the study to build a mansion, and you didn't even have a real job. I’ve done it, what’s the virtue for others to see?”

"Needless to say that serving the Supreme Emperor for a few days is filial and virtuous, and that is the duty of a son. Now that people in the world talk about filial piety, who would not think of the emperor first? Son, the Supreme Emperor doesn't see you in his eyes. He never thought of passing it on to you, so why are you upset?"

"If you're impatient staying in the mansion, it's not impossible to ask the emperor to do one or two errands. But there are so many people outside who want to use you as a spearman, and the concubine would rather you stay in the mansion every day, and someday will be better." I heard that you were punished for treason. If so, what's the point of the mother and concubine being alive?"

"Just look at the life that Concubine Zhen Gui is living now, and if you really listen to what those people say, what kind of life Concubine Zhen will be living in the future."

At that time, Prince Zhongshun also asked his mother and concubine: "Doesn't the mother and concubine think that her son may succeed, and then be as precious as the queen mother, and be happy every day?"

What did the concubine mother say?Prince Zhongshun remembered that the tears of his mother and concubine became more urgent: "Silly son, why do those people come to you, don't you understand? They just bully you and have never done a job, and there is no one close to them Discuss. Now draw a big cake for you, when the time comes, you will be the one who will push it to take the blame, and if it is something, you will be evaded and then... It will still be you, my stupid son."

No matter what happened, the concubine mother didn't say it didn't mean she was loyal, she couldn't think of it, it was nothing more than being murdered or deposed.Looking at the situation when I came to the Shen's house today, my concubine mother had expected everything: "Go to the Shen's house by yourself and see who are the ones who are fawning on you, and who are the ones who don't bother to pay you back?" who!"

When Shen Shangshu toasted Prince Zhongshun again, he found that he was in a daze, so he could only call softly: "My lord, I respect my lord, thank you for taking care of my unworthy grandson since he entered the palace."

This sound brought Prince Zhongshun back to Shensi, and also raised the wine glass: "It may be that this king takes care of him, Shen Chao is a sensible person." Otherwise, he would not persuade himself to go to the palace to pay his respects to his mother and concubine as soon as he tried it.

Someone actually praised his eldest grandson as a sensible person, and reasoned that Shen Shangshu should be happy, but the person who praised him made Shen Shangshu not happy.Fortunately, he has been in the city all these years, and he showed a proud and proud expression on his face: "I can't deserve such a compliment from the prince, but the child still has a little heart."

The heart of a child.The expression on Prince Zhongshun's face was unpredictable, and he remembered what his mother and concubine said: "Shen's family puts stability first, and there is no harm in you interacting with them more. That child Shen Chao is very affectionate, you must not take it for granted. Treat him the same way you treat those people. Let the Shen family know that you won't treat him the same way you treat those people. "

So Prince Zhongshun drank the wine in his glass: "Shangshu Shen is right, Shen Chao is different from other companions, and this king never thinks that he is just a companion."

Shen Yue, who was always paying attention to the chief, listened to these words seriously, and couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, and looked straight at Shen Chao: What did you do to make Prince Zhongshun think like this?

There were too many meanings in this look, Shen Chao felt baffled, so he had to look back suspiciously.Shen Yue didn't see any guilt in his eyes, and secretly felt that Shen Chao had concealed it so well.He also hoped that Shen Chao really didn't have that idea, and he still didn't want to point it out to him, lest if he opened Pandora's box, he would really become a sinner of the Shen family.

Even when Prince Zhongshun mentioned Shen Chao, Shen Shangshu wanted to wave to his eldest grandson, but he didn't want Shen Chao to be in a lawsuit with Shen Yue, and Shen Shangshu didn't greet him.Shen Xin coughed: "Why don't you hurry up and toast the lord, thank you lord for giving you face?"

Shen Yue refused to let Shen Chao go forward alone, holding the pot and followed Shen Chao to the chief.When Prince Zhongshun saw his two brothers coming together, he had a smile on his face: "I should eat this cup from you." He smiled frankly, Shen Yue looked at Shen Chao and felt that his expression was natural, and quietly let go of his worries.

Shen Shangshu saw the expressions of the two elder brothers in his eyes, and was even more satisfied with his second grandson in his heart: he is really a good boy who knows filial piety, if he is so worried about his elder brother, the two families will surely be harmonious in the future.

There is no never-ending banquet in the world, but there are rules for breaking up.Generally, the person with the highest status goes first, and then everyone goes according to their official position.There are also people close to the Shen family like Lin Ruhai who left later, everyone can understand this.

Unexpectedly, Prince Zhongshun, who is the most valuable today, has no intention of leaving the meeting, which made several academicians and ministers who originally only wanted to sit down and express their colleagues' intentions to be in a dilemma.Shen Shangshu is not good at chasing guests, and he has to find a topic from time to time to avoid Prince Zhongshun from being bored, his heart is fried, and there is a bit of just right smugness on his face, making it look like the host and guest are talking happily over wine.

The official guests are not scattered here, and the insiders are not easy to disperse.Fortunately, Mrs. Liu also prepared two small plays, which were originally intended to entertain the close female relatives who stayed behind, but now they had to be sung by people to relieve everyone's embarrassment after talking about it.

Even Daiyu, who often goes out with Jia Min as a guest, finds that something is wrong.

Today she was arranged by Mrs. Liu to entertain girls from various families. The garden was rewarded, chess was played, the conversation was almost finished, and the banquet was over.After the past, everyone should hold hands and say goodbye, and make an appointment to meet next time.But now I want them to listen to the opera together, I feel a little tired.

Not to mention her, which of the girls is not pampered?At this time, everyone was exhausted, but it was only in the reeducation center, no one was willing to show fatigue, and tried to keep smiling, but there were few people talking, and they all looked at Daiyu from time to time.

Daiyu then whispered to Xueou: "Go find my aunt and ask the people in front of me, what's going on outside?" Then she smiled at the girls who came over.

Xueou went out as naturally as if Daiyu just ordered her to pour a cup of tea. Daiyu also smiled and said to the girls: "Sisters don't like to listen to operas? Why don't you go to the greenhouse with me?"

However, not many girls responded, and Li Zizhen waved her hands again and again: "My good sister, I have been making trouble all morning, and I really can't move at this time."

Daiyu looked at her amusedly: "Who was envious of the early blooming red plums at my wife's place just now? It would be better to take you to see them now, and you don't want to."

"Then the greenhouse is full of flowers?" Zhang Ling loves flowers the most. Hearing what Daiyu said, she knew there was something else going on, so she interjected with a smile.

Daiyu laughed and said, "You know this after you go to see it? It's just that the second son built this greenhouse for the convenience of the grandpa to enjoy flowers. Not far from the second gate, I want to talk to my wife and grandma."

Li Zizhen didn't say anything at this time, but urged Daiyu to talk to Fang's quickly.These wives and grandmas had already realized that it was a bit strange that they hadn't talked about the banquet outside today. Everyone was puzzled, and they nodded in agreement with the girls, regardless of the girls.

Mrs. Fang said to Daiyu, "I know you don't like to listen to operas, but the flower is my grandfather's favorite. Just look at it and don't break it." Daiyu nodded in response.

Even if someone encourages them, more people will follow. Except for those who really don't like to move, there are still seven or eight people who want to follow.Seeing Xueou coming over with a cloak in her hands, Daiyu smiled and got up: "Please also ask the sisters to put on some clothes, otherwise I don't care if the wind blows." The maids from other families also brought cloaks to serve the master.

While putting on Daiyu's cloak, Xue'ou gave a rough idea of ​​the reason why the officials and guests in front had not left.Daiyu nodded slightly. Hearing that the officials and guests had not left, she knew that she had acted recklessly in this matter, so she quietly told Xueou to let more people follow and be more careful.

Walking to the second gate, Li Zizhen, who was as bold as she was, was a little excited: "Sister, have you been to the second gate?"

Daiyu tapped her lightly: "It's just that I have been to this place once or twice at home. People have cleared this place just now, everyone goes in and out together, and these people follow, it doesn't matter." She said. He glanced at his maids, the Xueou had already stood in front, the other maids followed suit, and the mothers-in-law surrounded the periphery as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Li Zizhen and Daiyu came together: "It's a pity that Sister Mu and Sister Li are all embroidering dowry at home. If it's such a good place to go, they must like it."

Daiyu also said: "Exactly, the flowers here are all carefully selected. After a batch of flowers are urged to thank, they will be replaced. Some of them bloom only once a year." Everyone became more fascinated.

"Where is who?" Xueou's voice came suddenly, even in broad daylight, everyone was surprised.

Daiyu took Li Zizhen's hand, took a step back, and the women surrounded her closely, blocking the girls tightly.Then I heard someone say: "Students come to the house as a guest, and they have some wine and come out to relax, who knows that they have gone the wrong way, so I ask the girl to point out the way."

Xueou looked back at Daiyu, saw her nodding slightly, and said to a woman, "Follow this young master to the flower hall." Follow the old slave." Said and walked forward.

The young master lowered his head from Xueou's questioning, and from the corner of his eyes, he could only feel the colorful shadows, and there was a faint fragrance coming from the end of his nose, which made his face turn red even more after drinking.Seeing the mother-in-law come to lead the way, he thanked Xueou and walked away as if he had fled.

After this episode, the girls didn't dare to go any further, and Daiyu also felt bored, so she asked Xueou to choose a few pots of flowers to send to the side hall for everyone to admire, and everyone went back the same way.Seeing that they came back so quickly, Mrs. Fang couldn't help asking, and Daiyu didn't realize that there was something to hide. Someone got drunk and lost their way. Everyone was afraid to meet such a person again, so they simply came back and said.

Liu said with a smile: "Auntie will go and ask who cleared the road in a while, and why it is so rough."

"It's also hard for these girls. They won't listen to this play. It's winter again, so it's not easy to let them go shopping in the garden." Mrs. Mu suddenly said this.

If someone else said this, Mrs. Liu would just be chatting, but after Mrs. Mu said what she said before the banquet, Mrs. Liu would not think about it: "It's because I didn't arrange it well, so I don't care about my Yu'er."

Such a clear acknowledgment that his arrangements were not well planned would make it difficult for Mrs. Mu to continue talking. Everyone could see that it was because the officials and guests had not left, so the host had to rack his brains to think of ways to keep the guests from feeling left out. If you pick a fault, you can't justify it.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu took the responsibility, Daiyu smiled and said to Mrs. Mu: "It's Yu'er's curiosity that surprised the sisters. What my aunt taught me is that I have asked them to bring the flowers and put them in the side hall. Go to our sisters and reward yourself. At that time, I will also ask my aunt to go and have a look, and pick out two pots for Sister Mu to bring back."

Mrs. Mu has nothing to say—because of Mu Wan, Daiyu also went to her house, and Lin Ruhai and Mu Shilang are officials in the same department, so she can't make excuses anymore, so she can only laugh Xie Daiyu thinking about Mu Wan .

Liu Shi and Jia Min looked at each other again, let the girl serve tea again, and then sat down to watch the play.

The officials and guests in the front couldn't help it. They first confessed their crimes to Prince Zhongshun, and then resigned to the master's family: "I should have been drunk, but I was just entangled in mundane affairs. I really can't wait if I don't come back." Seeing that Prince Zhongshun didn't listen To the general, it seems that I am interested in drinking, and I drink it by myself.

Shen Shangshu extremely regretted that he shouldn't have posted a message for Prince Zhongshun, so he had no choice but to invite Lin Ruhai to accompany Prince Zhongshun, and he brought Shen Xin and Shen Chao brothers to get up to see off the guests.

Someone took the lead, and the guests retreated like a flood, and the inner courtyard also breathed a sigh of relief.Not wanting everyone else to leave, Prince Zhongshun refused to leave the table with drunken eyes, and even pulled Lin Ruhai not to let him go: "It is said that the students taught by Mr. Lin are excellent in calligraphy and painting. This king wants to ask Mr. Lin for a lesson or two."

Shen Shangshu, who came back from seeing off the guests, had no choice but to smile wryly at Lin Ruhai, and wanted to go forward to deal with the prince.Seeing him returning to his seat, Zhongshun smiled slightly at him: "Shangshu Shen, Grand Master Shen, the king is coming to the mansion today to beg for wine and food, and he must have a good time."

You drank away all the guests in the yard, don't you have fun?The slanderous Shen Shangshu gave Shen Xin a wink, and Shen Xin went to Lin Ruhai: "Brother Ruhai, why don't you go to the side hall to have tea?" Lin Ruhai nodded, and said to Shen Yue: "Follow me."

Shen Yue wished to stay here to see where Zhongshun was going to sing, but Lin Ruhai dared not refuse to listen, so he had to step out of the flower hall step by step.Shen Xin, who was walking side by side with Lin Ruhai, looked amused: "If it is said that there is no one who is more calm than him, but this inquisitive problem can be seen at a glance."

Lin Ruhai also took a look at Shen Yue angrily: "It can be seen that the kung fu of cultivating the mind is not enough."

Shen Yue knew that he was impatient with the noise from Prince Zhongshun just now, and his face showed an attitude of obedience: "Yes, I will definitely cultivate my heart tomorrow." Seeing the funny interaction between their master and apprentice, Shen Xin couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "The one who should be scolded the most is Chao'er, what does it have to do with Yue'er."

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was puzzled, he realized that Shen Yue didn't tell Lin Ruhai about this matter, so he said to him: "If Chao'er hadn't been the prince's companion, there would be nothing about today's matter. Tomorrow, the Beijing Central Committee doesn't know how to discuss it." What about the Shen family?"

However, Lin Ruhai thought for a moment before saying: "Why don't you make an apology tonight. As long as the saint understands that Prince Zhongshun just came to He Chaoer simply, let others talk about it."
