[Quick Crossing + Red Mansions] I have a strong desire to survive

Hearing Mrs. Zhang say that she can only have one son, Jia Lian, in her life, Jia She was shocked: No, why did he forget that Mrs. Lian had a dystocia when she gave birth to Lian's son?It can't be said that the wife has hurt her body, so even if she is out of filial piety, she doesn't want to have sex with me, because she is afraid that she will worry, so she didn't talk to me.

Why did Madam have a dystocia?Jia Amnesty looked at Jia's mother with a dark gaze.The gaze was so real that it was hard for Jia Mu to ignore it, she couldn't help but angrily said: "Your wife loves my sister so much, don't tell me you, as a brother, don't want to let my sister marry more beautifully?"

Jia She snorted coldly and didn't speak, but Jia's mother felt that Jia She was looking down on her and was demonstrating to herself. She took a breath in her heart and said to Mrs. Zhang: "I will leave the matter of your sister to you. Although there is no ready-made silver, but that day after the gold and silver were turned into water, they were condensed in one place and placed there, and you were remade to be your sister's makeup."

Just as Jia Amnesty wanted to say that the time would be too late, Mrs. Zhang had already agreed: Jia's mother's private house had only a few 10 taels.But the pile of those things is too big, Mo Ming puts it away and others can find it at once.

Wasn't thinking about those things, Mrs. Zhang would come to discuss Jia Min's dowry with her just to make Jia's mother appreciate her?However, there are some things that must be clearly explained to Jia Mu first, so as not to be thankful for her own efforts in the end: "Old lady, the gold and silver are melted together, and it takes time and effort to remelt them. I'm afraid there will be wear and tear."

Mother Jia, who originally wanted Madam Zhang to send her the silver, was stunned. When did the eldest daughter-in-law become so fussy?

The final agreed result was that the public transported 20 taels of silver to Jia Mu's private treasury at one time, and Jia She found someone to remelt the gold and silver mixture that Jia Mu had turned into a pile.

Originally, Mother Jia was very dissatisfied with this number. How many private houses can she not count?Gold and silver folded together, a full 45 taels of silver!I don’t think Jia Amnesty is still dissatisfied: Not to mention the difficulty of finding someone to remelt it, it’s just that it’s hard to keep it a secret. If people know, how do you say the origin of these melted gold and silver?

Now Jia Mu has no dignity in front of Jia She - after several confrontations, Jia She found that as long as he gritted his teeth, the old lady had nothing to do with him, and now he felt no pressure on Jia Mu.

But Jia's mother is not without request, that is, she will give Jia Min 5 taels of silver in the box, and the rest of the dowry prepared by the public for Jia Min should not be less than 10 taels, and she cannot take the Lin family's dowry Credit.

Considering the amount of dowry, Mother Jia's request is not unreasonable.It's just that Mrs. Zhang never thought of withholding Jia Min's dowry from the beginning to the end, these are nothing serious.

What Mrs. Zhang is thinking now is how to get the gold and silver lumps from Mrs. Wang's side.In fact, Mrs. Zhang didn't need to think too much, Mother Jia had already sent someone to tell Jia Zheng that Jia Amnesty could remelt the gold and silver - Mother Jia knew that Jia Zheng was also poor now.

The family didn't get anything. The silver jewelry in Mrs. Wang's private room turned into water just like hers. Jia Zheng himself hasn't worked in the Ministry of Industry until now. .

Mother Jia's confidantes are broken, and there is no reliable person who wants to remelt things. Mrs. Wang's reputation is not good. If Jia Zheng finds someone rashly, other people may spread gossip. Mother and Jia Zheng did not remelt gold and silver for a long time.

Now that Jia Amnesty is willing to do it, it is natural to tell Jia Zheng.

It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang is not an ordinary villain. She had thought that Jia Zheng would ask Jia She for help, and told Jia She directly that she didn't see the second wife well, so Jia She could help if she wanted to, and the benefit could not be less than half.

As for the other half, there is Mrs. Wang who likes to loan usury, are you afraid that you won't get it?

Jia Amnesty was grieving over the fact that Jia Lian might be the only child in his life. When he heard Jia Zheng begging at his door, the lion naturally opened his mouth: It is not easy to find someone, and it is even more difficult to keep it secret.It’s okay to ask him to help, but Jia Zheng will bear the craftsman’s labor costs, confidentiality fees, and loss costs during the period.

Note that it was Jia Zheng, not Mrs. Wang. Anyway, Jia Zheng sent people to deliver the things. If Mrs. Wang complained about the lack of money in the future, then Jia Amnesty would only ask Jia Zheng to settle the score.

Jia Zheng himself is not a person who is good at economics, so he can only listen to what Jia Amnesty says.In the end, he returned home with 5 taels of silver and handed it to Mrs. Wang. She felt that she had taken advantage of it, and made the Mrs. Wang so angry that she wanted to spit out her old blood—there was a total of 10,000+ taels in her private house, even if it was a big deal. For the loss of melting, you will bring me back 5 taels?

But Jia Zheng had already read the paperwork with Jia She, even if Mrs. Wang was crying and fussing, holding Jia Zhu and telling Jia Yuanchun that she couldn't live anymore, there was no way for Jia Zheng to exchange the things with Jia She.In the end, Mrs. Wang could only complain to the two children again, and then thought about how to turn the 5 taels into more silver.

In fact, remelting gold and silver is not as difficult as Jia She said.Jia Shen owns a jewelry shop in his own hands, but it is not the property of the Duke, but it was left to him directly by the wife of the old man, Jia Shen’s grandmother, because her eldest grandson loves beauty and gave him a piece of jewelry. The shop will be convenient for giving jewelry to women in the future.

Mrs. Zhang understood why Jia She liked gold and stones. She grew up among antiques, and her eyesight was smoked out.These are not the focus of Mrs. Zhang's attention. The focus is how to distribute the glittering and white gold and silver after remelting.

Jia Amnesty didn't hide anything, and directly carried 4 taels of gold and 30 taels of silver into Rongxi Hall.Mrs. Zhang felt that there must be more than one jewelry shop in this guy's hands, but she didn't ask, she only cared about whether these should be returned to the public.

Regarding Mrs. Zhang's unwillingness to take advantage of the public at all, Jia Amnesty felt ashamed: "Accordingly, it should be 25 taels from the public, but you can keep it, the public is still ours."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, asked Jia Lian to be called over, pointed to the boxes of gold and silver on the ground and asked him, "Lian'er, your father said all these silver should be kept with your mother, but some of them have already been sold by the public. Do you think mother should accept them all?"

Jia Lian looked at Jinyin, his small eyes were shining, his small head was shaking, and he still disapproved: "The way to manage a family is to distinguish between public and private. If there is something good at the top, it must follow the example of the bottom. Privately, the servants will follow suit."

Your explanation is so thorough that Jia She felt that his old face was about to be lost.Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied with this, hugged Jia Lian and took a sip: "Good boy, it's really painful."

Jia Lian looked away with disgust: "I'm an adult, don't kiss me."

Jia She let out a chuckle, Mrs. Zhang looked at the three-headed little Jia Lian in frustration, although you won't spend money in the frying pan, but I still want to beat you up.

The 25 taels of silver moved into the old warehouse according to Jia Lian's idea. Jia Lian had to follow the whole process. When he saw that the warehouse was locked, he quietly asked Mrs. Zhang: "Mother, father doesn't have a key?"

To this question, Mrs. Zhang could only answer yes, which made Jia Lian very worried: "Father loves spending money too much."

Have you overcorrected yourself?Mrs. Zhang struggled for a while and then put it down, because it was time for Jia Min's dowry to be boxed.One hundred and eight liters of dowry, it is a brain-intensive thing to put in things worth a hundred thousand, and the box should not be too empty.

After finally pretending, Mrs. Zhang wanted to take Jia Min to have a look with her own eyes. Even Jia's mother finally walked out of the Rongqing Hall, and watched carefully for a long time, but she couldn't find any faults, so she had to remain silent. nod.

"Brother Lian is here to add makeup to the girl." The Zhao family's laughing voice came from outside the courtyard.

Because of Mrs. Zhang, Jia's mother didn't like Jia Lian very much. Now that Jia Lian came to add makeup to Jia Min, the expression on her face was not easy to manage.Jia Min himself was happy in shame, and asked people to invite him very solemnly.

Jia Lian walked in by herself, with her small chest so tall that she greeted the elders before she walked up to Jia Min and took out the same things from her arms: "These are for my aunt's makeup, my mother said , Dowry is a woman's confidence, aunt can't take less."

Jia Min came to pick it up with his own hands, but when he got it, he realized that it was actually a lot of things like longevity locks, so he had to take a look at Mrs. Zhang.When Mrs. Zhang was preparing the dowry, Jia Lian did ask a few questions, but Mrs. Zhang really didn't know why he thought of giving Jia Min the longevity locks that others gave him.

The Zhao family followed Jia Lian all the time. Seeing Mrs. Zhang and others were confused, they had to explain: "I heard that the wife came to pack the girl's dowry today, so the second master asked the servant to take out his private house. He also said that gold is the most valuable. So I picked out all the golden locks and sent them to the girl."

Even Jia's mother had to be moved: "Lian'er has a heart, and your aunt will never forget you in the future."

Jia Lian didn't have many opportunities to see Jia's mother, but she knew who she was.Seeing the scars on Jia Mu's face today, I was actually scared, but I still forced a smile and said to Jia Mu: "Lian'er is a filial child."

Everyone could see that Jia Lian was trying to hold on. Mother Jia returned to Rongqing Hall without staying for a while, and then she didn't go out for a long time.It wasn't until Jia Min got married that she had to sit in the main hall, but she wore a light veil on her face.

If a girl with a graceful figure is wearing a light veil, she will be very fairy-like, but an old lady who is out of shape wearing this on her face, no matter how you look at it, it will make people feel weird.Those wives and wives who came to marry Jia Min resisted to have a word or two with Jia Mu, and then hurriedly talked to others, no one cared what Jia Mu felt.

This first-class general's mansion is no longer the original Rongguo mansion.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to bring Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun, not only her own children, but also her niece from her natal family——Wang Xifeng.

For Wang Xifeng's arrival, Mrs. Zhang was quite surprised. This first-class general's mansion is similar to the Wang family's, so how could the Wang family agree to Mrs. Wang bringing Wang Xifeng to the door?Besides, didn't Wang Ziteng ignore Mrs. Wang's affairs? Wang Xifeng lived with Wang Ziteng, so she asked Mrs. Wang to bring her out and said she had no idea why Mrs. Zhang didn't believe it.

"Let the Zhao family be vigilant, and don't let Lian'er get close to that little girl from the Wang family. Then arrange someone to follow those three children at all times, and don't let them have trouble in our house." Even I am too busy here. However, Mrs. Zhang still asked Zhang Lai's family to do this first.

It was not until Jia Min was sent out, and the wedding banquet was about to begin, that Madam Zhang realized how wise she had made this arrangement—Wang Xifeng almost fell into the water in the first-class general's mansion!

It turns out that even though Rongguo Mansion has changed the plaque of the first-class general's mansion, the old relatives of Wu Xun's family are still visiting at this time, and they brought a lot of children, so it is logical that Jia Lian, the young master, will entertain them.

Although it was mainly done by the respectable lady in charge, Jia Lian, the little master, was still present.When the banquet was about to start, Zhang Luo's people discovered that Jia Zhu, Jia Yuanchun and Wang Xifeng had disappeared.Fortunately, the people arranged by Zhang Lai's family followed him all the time, so they found it as soon as they looked for it.

The three children were standing by the edge of the pool watching the fish, Jia Zhu somehow slipped and was about to fall into the water, she instinctively reached out to grab something around her, didn't she pull Wang Xifeng down?

When they went to play by the pool, they didn't let their servants follow them, but the people arranged by Zhang Lai's family didn't listen to the three children and stayed less than five steps away.Seeing that Wang Xifeng was about to fall into the water, he ran over in two steps and grabbed Wang Xifeng's clothes.

Although Wang Xifeng didn't fall into the water, she was startled and cried loudly.Jia Zhu seemed to be frightened too, her face turned pale without being able to speak.Jia Yuanchun also cried with Wang Xifeng, and cried even louder when he saw someone coming.

The adults heard the cries of the children, so they had no intention of attending the table, and they all came out to see what was going on.When Mrs. Zhang knew the cause and effect, she looked at Mrs. Wang differently, and said in front of everyone: "The child of the second wife's family really has a destiny with this pool."

Mrs. Wang's face also changed color all of a sudden, and she said forcefully: "Children love strange things, and they only care about having fun."

"Nurse Qin?" Mrs. Zhang called someone over, and Mrs. Wang's face turned even paler——Jia Min's nanny, why didn't she go to Lin's house with her?

This was naturally Mrs. Zhang's idea. She knew that Nanny Qin might be bought by Mrs. Wang, so why would she let her follow Jia Min to the Lin family?The reason is simple: Nanny Qin has been with Jia Min for so many years, and she has worked hard without credit, so she can't be tired anymore, it's better to stay in the mansion as an idler.

Now in the entire first-class general's mansion, Jia Amnesty will not reject what Mrs. Zhang said, so what's the use of Jia's mother's disapproval?Had to stay.Today, Zhang Lai's family really sent Nanny Qin an assignment, that is, Nanny Qin has experience in taking care of children, so she must take good care of the three little masters from the second room.

Hearing Mrs. Zhang calling her, Nanny Qin wanted to tell the whole story, emphasizing that she had reminded Jia Zhu three times that she couldn't come to play when the water was slippery, but Jia Zhu felt that Nanny Qin was troublesome, so she must To go, it led to this result.

"Second wife, what do you say?" Mrs. Zhang challenged Mrs. Wang with a cold face.

Mrs. Wang secretly scolded Mrs. Zhang for being merciless. Before she came, she had indeed ordered Jia Zhu to find ways to let Wang Xifeng fall into the water in the first-class general's mansion. Taking revenge on the Wang family, even a three-year-old child will not be spared.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhang seemed to know her plan long ago, so that she would make people stay close to the children, finally Jia Zhu came up with an excuse, and Wang Xifeng was rescued by someone arranged by Mrs. Zhang.

Now he is still asking in front of all the guests that everything is Jia Zhu's idea, how can this make the Wang family attack the first-class general's mansion? !However, Mrs. Wang didn't even change her expression because of the scar on her face: "I don't understand what the eldest lady said. It's common for children to be naughty, so why ask me for an explanation?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled coldly: "Whether she is naughty or not is another matter. It's just that the second wife of the Wang family had to be brought into the general's mansion today, and she almost had an accident when Zhu Er was taking her with her. The second wife had to give me a piece of cake anyway." Tell me."

The guests who were able to come to see off the wedding knew very well the grievances between the two mansions of Jia and Wang, and they all felt that Mrs. Wang really shouldn't have brought Wang Xifeng to the general's mansion.While everyone was discussing, Wang Xifeng was already coaxed to stop crying, Madam Zhang simply asked her: "Miss Wang, do you know where your aunt brought you here?"

Wang Xifeng nodded heavily: "Yes, my aunt said it's their house, and she wants to take me to take a look first. After my aunt moves back, I will know where to choose to live."

This abacus is really good.The smile on Mrs. Zhang's face finally warmed up: "Second wife, telling you to move out of the General's Mansion is a sage's motto. Are you trying to resist the decree?" If you choose a place to live, aren't you afraid to live in Shuntian Mansion?

Mrs. Wang wanted to cover Wang Xifeng's mouth, of course it was not easy to cover her mouth in front of these people, so she forced a smile: "It's just a joke to fool children, why should the eldest wife take it seriously."

"I have to take it seriously!" Mrs. Zhang's face turned cold again: "I thought that today is a good day for my sister to leave the cabinet. As brothers and sisters-in-law, you and your wife don't come to marry my sister. It's always a pity. I don't want the second wife to have to look at Shu, but also I want to implicate the general's mansion to resist the edict."

"The people in the general's mansion are not as courageous as the second wife. They always listen to the words of the sage. Come and send the second wife back to the mansion. In the future, I will not bother the second wife to come to pay her respects to the old lady." Mrs. Zhang decided to never see Mrs. Wang again. , so as not to be unclear in the future.

Mrs. Wang jumped up all of a sudden, accusing Mrs. Zhang of not paying attention to Jia She's brother.Mrs. Zhang said in her heart that I just didn't pay attention to it, and didn't distinguish a word. She just watched Zhang Chang's family drive away with a group of thick women.

The officials and guests outside also got the news, Jia Zheng was so angry that his face was flushed, and he wanted to go to Jia's mother for comment. Jia Amnesty told him directly that if he didn't want to set foot in the general's mansion again, he should go to the old lady .

As for why she wanted to drive Madam Wang away, Madam Zhang didn't even explain to Jia Mu and Jia Amnesty, one of them was guilty and the other was distressed, but no one criticized Madam Zhang.

On the day Jia Min returned home, she naturally knew that Mrs. Wang was kicked out of the house by her sister-in-law before the banquet. Thinking about Mrs. Zhang's dystocia when she gave birth to Jia Lian, she didn't feel comfortable asking any questions.Her mother-in-law was easy to get along with, and her husband was considerate. It was a sweet moment, and she let go of the feud between the two sister-in-laws in a short while.

It's not that Jia Min is too snobbish, it's that the relationship between people is all about getting along.Although Mrs. Wang has not had time to do anything to Jia Min in this life, the relationship between the two of them can only be said to be mediocre.For her own sake, Jia Min saw how Mrs. Zhang flattered Mrs. Lin and how she tried her best to prepare a dowry for herself. The reputation in her heart naturally turned to Mrs. Zhang.

In fact, Mother Jia really wanted Jia Min and Jia Zheng to get along well. After all, Lin Ruhai had been promoted to another level, and now he had started to walk in the cabinet. If he could speak well for Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng's appointment would not be a problem.

But Mrs. Zhang actually forbade Mrs. Wang to come to the door on the day when Jia Min returned. Make a fuss.

Between remorse and remorse, he didn't bother to ask Jia Min if he was doing well in the Lin family, whether the husband and wife were in harmony, whether the mother-in-law was easy to get along with, and only complained that Mrs. Zhang bullied her as a mother-in-law. mother.

What can Jia Min do, her own mother wants to be close, but she is very clear that her mother prefers the second room.After getting along with Mrs. Zhang all these years, Mrs. Zhang always relieved herself, which made it impossible for Jia Min to scold Mrs. Zhang together with Jia's mother.

In the study outside, Jia Zheng came, but he wanted to quote the scriptures when he spoke, but the scriptures and scriptures he quoted were too rigid, which made Lin Ruhai, who had read the book well, feel extremely uncomfortable.In addition, Jia Zheng wanted to beg Lin Ruhai in his heart, but also felt that he was Jia Min's elder brother after all, so he refused to speak out because he had an identity in saying this.

If you want the picture, you have to ask yourself if you want it to be a style. Jia She doesn't like it, so he directly pulls Lin Ruhai to talk about the antiques he bought recently.Lin Ruhai also had some experience in the art of gold and stone, and the two of them could speak for themselves, and Jia Zheng did it alone.

It was even more irritating when it came time to set the banquet.Because it was a family banquet, there was only a screen in the middle, and two tables were set up for men and women inside and outside.Because Mrs. Wang could not come to the General's Mansion, neither Jia Zhu nor Jia Yuanchun came. There was a child Jia Lian at the banquet, so it was on him to ease the atmosphere.

Even though Jia Lian didn't admit to being a student, Lin Ruhai asked him if he had read, and he admitted with some embarrassment that he hadn't started reading yet, and only knew less than [-] characters.

A three-year-old child can almost recognize all the characters, which is already very remarkable.Lin Ruhai was also known as a child prodigy when he was young, so he naturally wanted to ask Jia Lian a few words.At the beginning, the characters were still commonly used, but gradually the characters became uncommon. Jia Lian actually answered the questions immediately, so he couldn't pass the test.

Lin Ruhai couldn't help but enviously said to Jia She: "Lian'er can recognize so many characters at such a young age, brother-in-law, please find a husband for him."
