dream of red mansion

She is now looking forward to the day of Qingming, waiting to see the result.

……

Jia Zhen is in a bad mood these days.

This is the common voice in the hearts of the servants in his yard.

When he got up early in the morning, the maid who delivered morning tea accidentally spilled tea on his sleeve was scolded by him, and she is still kneeling on the eaves!

As a result, the servants in his yard are flustered when doing things, and the uncle will take his anger on them at some point.

In Youshi's room.

"Master, that girl Xinghong has been kneeling for an hour, and she has been punished. Let her get up."

Jia Zhen leaned back on the armchair, closed her eyes and meditated.Hearing this, he opened his eyes and glanced at You Shi, without saying a word, and continued to raise his spirits.

Seeing Jia Zhen ignoring her, Youshi hesitated for a while, and said to the silver plate behind her: "Go and wake her up, and arrange her to do something in the laundry room later."

"Yes"

After hearing the words, Yindie took the order and left.

In the room, seeing that Jia Zhen was still looking dead, You Shi got up and went to the inner room, and took out a gift box from the window, no more than four inches in length and width, which was exactly the one Jia Qing gave her last night.She didn't have time to look at it last night, and now she has nothing to do, so she just turned over to take a look.

"The packaging is quite delicate."

After removing the outermost layer, there was another layer inside with a flower tied on it, Youshi couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Carefully unpacking the inner layer, a small exquisite pocket watch lay quietly inside.The whole body is silver in color, shaped like a peach pit, and its width is no more than an inch and a half.

Youshi was a little surprised, reached out to take it, and saw that the small thing was heavy in his hand.Lift it up and see that the workmanship is exquisite, and it is an authentic Western gadget!

Speaking of clocks, it's not that she has never seen one before. There is a pendulum clock in her room, and a big gold watch.But she had seen such a small watch on Jia Baoyu before, and heard that it was given by Jia Mu, but she hadn't.

Now someone gave her such a small one, her first reaction was to like it, and the second reaction was to be surprised.

She knew that even though it was only such a small piece, it was expensive.Especially such a small and exquisite one, she estimated that it would cost at least a few dozen taels of silver to buy it!

It's not that she has never seen the world, and she thinks a few dozen taels of silver are too much.Rather, this thing was given by Jia Qing. He is a child, where did he get so much money?

That's right, I heard that Uncle Er got a sum of money for making that kind of soap, so I think he used that money this time.

But why did he spend so much money buying this thing for her?

You Shi was thinking about it when someone snatched the thing in his hand.

When I came back to my senses, it was Jia Zhen.He looked around with the watch, and asked indifferently, "Who gave it to you?"

You Shi didn't think about it, and said, "I went to Second Uncle's place last night, and he gave it to me."

As soon as the words fell, Jia Zhen's face suddenly became gloomy, and finally became slightly ferocious.

He sneered and said: "Why did this kid give you this for nothing? Could it be that you said something to him, and he wants to thank you! See if I don't smash it!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw the object in his hand to the ground fiercely.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"what are you doing?!"

Seeing that Jia Zhen went crazy, she wanted to smash the watch.Youshi didn't care much for a while, and stepped forward to snatch it.

Her appearance made Jia Zhen even more angry.

Since Jia Zhen learned that Jia Qing had worshiped Fang Shou as his teacher a month ago, she couldn't sit still.After thinking about it, he finally made a desperate move.

He already knew Jia Qing's name was inappropriate, and he even mentioned it to Jia Jing because of it.Unexpectedly, Jia Jing was just perfunctory, saying that it was a baby name, as long as the family members called it, it didn't matter, and told him not to pay too much attention to it.

In this way, he had no choice but to let go, not daring to say anything about it.

And Jia Qing has been studying in the mansion for the past few years, and it is rare to see outsiders all year round.Others didn't have the time to figure out what the word in his name was, and what taboos there were...

This has been all right.

However, once people become crazy, they often don't care so much.

Jia Jing obviously has no intention of changing Jia Qing's name.Maybe there was, but the final result is: until Jia Qing went to school, the name has not been changed.

That's why, he used this matter as a bargaining chip, added great profit, and bewitched the elders of the clan to come out and force Jia Jing!

He did this for two reasons.

First, he knew that it was unlikely to drive Jia Qing out of Ningguo Mansion because of this matter, but at least it would damage his reputation.He felt that if other people knew that Jia Qing's name was against the ancestral system, or even outrageous, they would look at him differently!

As for hurting Jia Jing's face, he didn't care so much for the time being.Or, it's not considered hurtful, Jia Jing should also pay the price for his favoritism!

Second.

Jia Zhen knew that Jia Qing's name was the deathbed will of his dead ghost mother. If Jia Jing forcibly changed his name, it would make Jia Qing fall into an unfilial situation. If he felt resentful towards Jia Jing because of this, If there is a gap between the two, it will be perfect!

Originally, everything went smoothly, although Jia Jing "resolutely resisted", and the matter had to be delayed until Qingming.But this matter has been put on the bright side, even if Jia Jing is the patriarch, he can't hide it anymore.He feels that the overall situation of this matter has been decided, and it only needs to wait for the next day.

Who knows, a few days ago when I went out to drink flowers and wine with some drinking buddies, I happened to hear about Fang Shou, that is, Jia Qing's mentor, joining the cabinet a month ago, which immediately made all his previous thoughts disappear!

I came back home before finishing the banquet, and the more I thought about it, the more I felt suffocated.

He felt that he was scheming in there like a clown, Jia Qing was blessed by God, and in the blink of an eye, the teacher changed from a famous but powerless Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites to one of the ministers of the cabinet who ruled the world!

This change has dealt him too much blow.

This is the reason why he has a bad temper these days and often takes people down to vent his anger.

It is even more exasperating now, that little bastard actually gave his stepmother such an exquisite thing, it seems that You Shi still likes it very much.This immediately made him feel like smoke was coming from his seven orifices.

Seeing Youshi coming to snatch the watch back, he threw Youshi away and smashed the thing in his hand against the bluestone floor.

"Peng... ding ding ding..."

The sound of a pocket watch falling apart.

Youshi, who was barely standing on the cabinet, looked at the fragment of the pocket watch on the ground with a heartache, resentment, and bewilderment.

After Jia Zhen smashed this thing, she felt better.He glanced at Youshi coldly, turned around and left.

……

It was almost noon when Jia Qing came out of Fangfu.
