The Little Transparent Leisurely Life of the Red Mansion

Chapter [-]

The man in his 40s was Liu Pinchao, who was supposed to be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. As a result, the new emperor directly pulled Lin Ruhai, who was still compiling books in the Imperial Academy, to take over his original seat.Think about how many gifts he gave to the old man in order to succeed the old Shangshu.How much did the people around him benefit from him.In the end, he couldn't even touch that position!

After so many years, he still remembered that when he went to court that day, he was secretly delighted when he heard the old man hand in the old man's book.It's just that after the old man got old, the emperor did not approve it like the booklet.Instead, Lin Ruhai was directly referred to the household department.

How can I make him not hate?The old man played, but he played according to what they said earlier.However, the sage did not approve.He was very angry and resentful at that time, but he couldn't attack it, so he could only endure it.

Over the years, he has been looking for Lin Ruhai's mistakes, but he has never succeeded.Can you keep him from gritting his teeth with hatred?

Knowing today that he would meet his brother-in-law who just came out of the palace in this restaurant, he reserved the private room next door in advance.Sticking against the wall, after listening to it for a long time, I heard them talking about some poems and songs with great interest!Even if you leave, you still talk while walking.

When men are together, is there nothing else to say except poetry and songs?Sour, pedantic.Two big men, not talking about the current facts, went to make people angry for a long time, which is really hateful and ruthless.

Seeing that Su Weidong had just come out of the palace, he thought they would pass on some news from the palace.Who knows, after listening for a long time, except for the first two teasing words, I didn't hear any useful news.These two were really careful.

He took another look at the crooked melon and split dates who followed him. Although it was useless, he was loyal to him.well!

Su Weidong and Lin Ruhai, who had already walked out, got into their respective carriages outside and drove to their respective homes.

Since the two of them dared to meet and talk outside, they must have realized that the walls have ears.If you think about it, naturally you won't say anything carelessly!Even if they want to say it, they can't let other ears hear it, so they thought of dipping their hands in tea and writing, but they said irrelevant things with their mouths.

In this way, the ears of the partition wall will naturally not suspect their purpose in the house.

Another one, when the tea is dry, there is nothing left, how easy is it? !

So much so that the two people who talked about the matter discussed the process with each other.The problem has been solved, and they have no burden on their hearts, and they go home in a good mood...

Jia Yun, who had been idle all day, was still a little puzzled when she saw her husband come in humming a little tune which was a rare occurrence.It's not that she doesn't want her family to be happy, but that she has been married to Su's family for so long, and it's the first time she saw Su Weidong's emotions so outgoing after he came back from the Yamen.In the past, even if he was happy, he could only see a smile in his eyes.But he can't hum Beijing movies.

Can't help but ask curiously:

"Sanggong, what did you encounter today that made you so happy?"

Su Weidong smiled and replied:

"Everything went smoothly today, of course I'm happy."

Jiayun didn't ask him why, but saw the maid at the door looking in, and then looked at the shape of her mouth, and knew that it was time to serve dinner, so she quickly said to Su Weidong:

"That's true. Smiling, you hurry to wash up, and the meal will be served in a while."

"Hey, just come."

I heard that the second master of the Jia family has finally been promoted, and he has also received a real vacancy from outside, and he will take up his post soon.

A few days later, I heard that the second master of the Jia family took his disciple Qing Ke and his wife to take his post.

It is said that, originally, Master Jia Er planned to bring a concubine to serve him.In the end, Mrs. Jia said that when he was in office, he needed someone to help him take care of the back house and human relations.It doesn't seem very good if you only take a concubine there.Especially when there will be some wives exchanges between colleagues, it is impossible for others to give those concubines face.

Just because the old lady said that, I didn't plan to take my wooden wife there, but after hearing what the old lady said, I felt that it was correct to take my wife there.

Jia Zheng is an uncommon person, and one can imagine women in the backyard, it is impossible to give face to a concubine.Just readily agreed.Take Mrs. Wang to take office together.

It is said that after Mrs. Jia's Wang went to work with Mr. Jia Er, Mrs. Jia asked her granddaughters-in-law Li Wan, Shi Xiangyun and granddaughter Jia Tanchun to be housekeepers.

The servants of the Jia family came out and said that Miss San was too harsh on the servants as a girl!The eldest grandma is much gentler to the servants, and the second grandma Bao is the most kind to the servants.

Jia Tanchun really wanted to get rid of some of the bad habits of the servants in the mansion, however, almost all of the servants in their family were born in the family, and the family has taken root, sprouted, and intertwined branches in the mansion for several generations.Jia Tanchun is a little girl from a concubine, no matter how clever you are and how decisive your methods are, so what?

Those servants were parked there, they would do whatever they wanted, Jia Tanchun couldn't do anything to them at all.She is also stubborn, so she will definitely offend many people.

As for Li Wan, he had been a little transparent in Jia's mansion for so many years.She watched coldly how those servants treated their mother and child. If the wife wasn't at home, the power of housekeeping would not be in her hands.

In Jia's mansion, her status is not even as good as that of a housekeeper's wife.

Even if she has the housekeeping power in her hands now, how have those servants heard her arrangement?If it weren't for Tan girl's resolute suppression, how many old people in the house would listen to their arrangements?Let alone Shi Yatou.

She would please those servants, but it's worthwhile for those servants to admit their feelings.People flatter you in front of you and step on your back.Of course, she is still protected by the old lady, and those servants dare not do anything.

As for Baoyu?He was still as heartless as before.It doesn't matter much if the sky falls.Anyway, there is a tall man on top.

In some respects, Baoyu and Xiangyun are worthy of being husband and wife, sometimes they think the same and ignore other people's feelings.

As their sister-in-law, how have they ever really thought about their mother and son?

Now, with such a small amount of power in her hands, there are actually very few things she can do.Just for Lan'er, I can only do my best.She will not do things that offend people.Making enemies for herself and Lan'er is not her way of survival.

The old lady was talking about letting the three of them be housekeepers, but in fact the real housekeeping power was still in the hands of the old lady.They only care about trivial matters, so why does she have to be so serious to offend others?

Except for Jia Baoyu, a grown-up man, all the family members of the Jia family are women.But Jia Baoyu spent all day in the inner house, and never thought of going out to study at home.I didn't go out to meet friends or anything.

Every day at home, either developing his rouge, or playing with this or that maid.Or go to the old lady to act like a baby and get bored for a while.Especially now that there is no master Jia Er in the mansion who can control him.Of course he did whatever he wanted to do.

If the old lady doesn't talk about it, they don't need to rush him.

On the contrary, it was Jia Huan, although without Jia Cong, he played with him.When Jia Zheng's father was still at home, Aunt Zhao asked him to study at home.

Even if he wasn't as diligent as Jia Lan, he really took it seriously to learn how to read and write.Occasionally meeting Jia Cong outside, knowing that Jia Cong now has a teacher to teach, I am very envious.

Then, with Jia Cong's encouragement, Jia Huan went to the General's Mansion to beg Jia's amnesty and let him study with his husband.So he said it was learned from his family every day, but in fact, he abducted him to the General's Mansion after going out early every day.Being able to walk freely so easily is thanks to him as a concubine. When Mrs. Wang was at home, even though he could go to home to study, there was not even a servant around him.Not even a single piece of clothing that fits.

It's not that he doesn't have clothes that fit, his uncle gave them to him, but he doesn't dare to ask for those new and fit clothes.I was afraid that my wife would embarrass him and prevent him from going to school if she felt uncomfortable when she saw him wearing clothes that fit well.Instead, he took Jia Cong's old clothes, he didn't dare to ask for new ones.

After a few years, Jia Cong went to take the examination of a scholar.He didn't dare to take the exam, so he continued to use the excuse of going home to study every day, quietly doing business with Lian's second brother's stewardship school, and began to work as an apprentice in Lian's second brother's shop.Since then, I have quietly accumulated a little of my own private money.

In private, he also told his aunt a little bit, and after she found out, she helped him cover it up.I no longer always quarrel with my wife.

In fact, every time he quarreled before, he knew that his aunt was for him, but after every quarrel, he would be embarrassed or even tortured by his wife.

Perhaps, in the eyes of others, Auntie is just a vulgar concubine.But every time I see my aunt wants a piece of cloth to make clothes for me, even if I ask my wife, I may not be able to get it, but I will be embarrassed.It is my own shoes, which are also nailed out of the cloth heads that my aunt found.

My aunt's dexterity, she needs to embroider this and that for his wife and others every day, but there are very few mother and child.Auntie was born as a servant girl and has no wealth.How can he have the money to make a lot of clothes for him?

What he remembers most is that once his aunt got a reward from the master, but the next day she was almost beaten by his wife in the name of stealing.Fortunately, the master was at home that day, which proved that he rewarded it.Otherwise, it would be no wonder if my aunt wasn't beaten to death.

Every time he thinks of this, he gets chills down his back.

Now, his size is also a small shopkeeper.He still wore unfit clothes in the mansion, and changed into fit clothes when he went out.

He knew that it was impossible for the family to ask for a wife for him, so he planned to buy a small yard and ask for a wife when he saved enough money.If possible, pick up my aunt and give her a pension.

Now that the master has taken his wife out, he doesn't have to pretend so hard.It is also very troublesome to change clothes.

"Master Huan, please wait."

This day, Jia Huan went out at the same time as usual, but was stopped by his own sister.

Jia Huan looked at the maid who stopped her, only to see her own sister looking at her with weird eyes.Can't help but ask lightly:

"You, call me to stop, what's the matter?"

He really doesn't like this elder sister, and he can't get close to this superior elder sister.I guess no one would like to be treated like trash!He is the same.

Jia Tanchun frowned and asked Jia Huan:

"Your clothes?"

"Ah, what's wrong with my clothes?"

Jia Tanchun frowned and asked:

"Why do you have new clothes?"

Hearing his own sister's question, Jia Huan asked mockingly:

"Why can't I have new clothes? Who sets the rules?"

"There are no new clothes and fabrics for this season in the house, so why do you get new clothes?"

"Third sister, what joke are you talking about? When did the mansion give me new clothes? When you give me clothes, either the cuffs are short or the trousers are short. Can I wear them to meet people? My clothes are embroidered by my aunt. In exchange! Do you have any questions?"

Jia Huan's words made Jia Tanchun feel very embarrassed, and he turned away with his maid.

Jia Huan shrugged a little self-deprecatingly, and walked out of the house with his head held high.I just hope that the third sister who thinks she is smart doesn't bother her aunt.

It seems that this mansion, no matter whether there is a wife or not, is not a place where he can live for a long time.Well, it's time for him to ask someone to find a house for him.Over the past few years, he has actually saved a lot of silver taels.It should be possible to buy an ordinary seat once you enter the small courtyard.

I'll ask my uncle in a while, maybe my uncle has such a small yard.Even if the uncle doesn't have one, he has more connections.Of course, it is best to live not far from my uncle, so that I can get some care from my uncle's family.

In this way, when he goes out to do business in the future, his family will not be bullied.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan quickened his walking pace again...
