Through the Ring of Red Mansions

It is said that at the end of the year, Sister Feng finally gave birth to a son who was the eldest grandson of Rongfu's eldest son after working hard in the middle of the night. Jia's mother and others were all very happy. Then he called him Jia Wei.Jia Lian is so happy that no one else cares about him. He just hangs around Sister Feng and her son every day.Qiutong couldn't help but hate so much that she cursed secretly. Although Second Sister You didn't have such a heart, she felt sad and disappointed at the moment, and couldn't help but hope that she would get the good news sooner, so her face was half-gloomy.Because of this, Jia's mother thought she was jealous of Sister Feng, so she couldn't help being even more displeased, and she said a few words to Jia Lian. Ping'er is not easy to get started, so he still takes Ping'er to heart.

Looking ahead, it is the end of winter and spring is coming. Jia Zheng returned to Beijing after finishing his studies. So he made up his mind, and after returning to the court, he handed over all the duties of his post, and wrote another book to beg the old man to go home, and he agreed, and thought that Jia Zheng taught his son well, and gave him to step down from the position of second-rank cabinet bachelor, and still Food second product Lu.

Jia Zheng "due to getting old, serious affairs and physical decline, and recently because of being away for several years, the flesh and blood were divorced. Now that Yan Ran is reunited in the court room, I feel very happy." I also saw a beautiful woman and a child at home, and no official affairs. Anxiety, more and more neglect all the big and small affairs in the mansion, just read books, play chess and drink with Qing guests when bored, or go to Jiahuan for a while. After a visit to the villa, he reorganizes the study that Jia Huan used to prepare for the exam, intending to teach Baoyu himself.

Baoyu listened to it, "It's like Sun Dasheng heard the magic spell, and all four limbs and five internal organs immediately felt uncomfortable." Knowing that he couldn't hide this time anyway, he ran to pester Jiamu quickly, only saying , "Tell me to go out to study, I dare not say no, just let the master still worry about me, I am so ashamed that I don't know what to do, how dare the master teach me personally? I beg the old lady to tell the master, even if it is like before. Like that, you can just hire a gentleman just for me, and I don’t dare to let the master work hard, and I can’t sleep or eat in peace.” Jia’s mother loves Baoyu, and knows Jia Zheng’s temper, how he refuses to follow him.

Mrs. Wang also understands that Jia Zheng prefers Jia Huan now, and prefers to study economics. Baoyu is not as thorough as Jia Huan. If Jia Zheng teaches Baoyu, the two sides will compare each other. The room cried to Jia Zheng, "Master, there is only such a son-in-law left now, why bother to force him like this? Just for the sake of Zhu'er who has gone, just teach him slowly, if you scare him out of something Three long and two short, teach me which one to count on in the future? I know that Huan'er is not raised by me, and I don't kiss me. Now that the third wife is here, which one in this room can still see our mother and son? If the master is tired of us , Send our mother and son back to Jinling as soon as possible, and pour this here to them, and the master will be clean in front of his eyes, so I will make my wish!!" The party cried, and the party chanted Jia Zhu and Yuan Chun.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to slam the door and leave, saying, "Since ancient times, a loving mother has lost many children. You just teach Baoyu not to regret it in the future!" From then on, he stayed in the third wife's room more and more every day.

Baoyu escaped in the end. Although he still needs to study in the study outside for half a day every day, it is much better than being taught by Jia Zheng, and he is very fortunate for this.It’s just that Jia Zheng originally planned to invite Zhou Hongbin, the teacher who taught Jia Huan, but Zhou Hongbin had already been recommended by Jia Huan, and he took the post of head of the Taxation Department in the Ministry of Households. Mr. Liu gave it to Baoyu. This Mr. Liu was very talented and learned, and he was not so old-fashioned.

It just so happened that it was the third day of August, which was the celebration of Jia Mu's 28th day. Because all relatives and friends came, fearing that the banquet would not be held, the two governments of Ning and Rong agreed early on that "from July [-]th to August [-]th, The two places in Rongning and Ning held banquets together, Ningguo Mansion Zhongdan invited officials and guests, Rongguo Mansion Zhongdan invited guests from the halls, and several large places such as Zhuijin Pavilion and Jiayin Hall were cleaned up in the Grand View Garden for retreating."

"Since the first ten days of July, there has been an endless stream of people giving birthday gifts." Yuan Chunyi ordered people to send birthday gifts at the end of July, and some princes and officials came to pay their respects. Decorated with colorful decorations, the screen is decorated with phoenixes, the mattress is decorated with hibiscus, and the sound of shengxiao, drums and music flows through the streets and alleys."

Baoyu got this good opportunity, and naturally accompanied Jia Mu in a fair and honest manner, and joked with her sisters every day, and the study room she had just been to for a few days was also broken, but everyone saw Jia Mu happy, and no one dared to talk to Jia Zheng.

Seeing Baoyu's relieved appearance, Mrs. Wang hated Jia Huan more and more, and she couldn't help complaining to Aunt Xue in private, "Look, they are satisfied if Baoyu is forced to die! I only hate how I risked such a life." , even a slave son born in the family stepped on my head, so that the son of a concubine was overwhelmed by a serious son. I don't blame the old lady, but I don't want to see what the banquets are like these days People, the old lady let that one come up too, so I'm not afraid of being laughed at by outsiders!"

Aunt Xue said with a smile, "I can't tell. When I saw that the old lady was getting old, she sometimes couldn't figure it out. Now she looks good to Baoyu, but she is too flattering to those two. Even I can't help it." Can't stand it."

Mrs. Wang sighed, "I've been worrying about this mansion all my life, and now I'm getting more and more guarded against thieves, and the master is also alienating me because of Miss Lin. Do you think the old lady these days Why do you say that Sister Feng has become more stable after giving birth to a son? I think she knows that Feng girl has separated from me, and wants to use her to control me! I only hate Feng girl for not being up to date, but now she is also blaming me .”

Aunt Xue couldn't help saying, "That's right, why is Feng girl so indiscriminate between the inside and the outside? It can be seen that no matter how close she is to us, she can't kiss us with the word '利'. It's just because Lian'er got an errand from Jia Huan. , They just confessed there, caring more about their parents than their own parents, and they have never seen them be so filial to the eldest wife. If you don’t tell me, I still can’t remember how much Pan’er cared for him back then, As a result, Pan'er lost several shops, and I was only looking after a family of relatives, and it was not worth it for a few shops, so I won't talk about it."

Because of this, the two diverged, and Aunt Xue persuaded, "I think it's not safe for Baoyu to follow the old lady after all. You should also mention it to the empress. At any rate, the empress is dear, and she will definitely not look at the old lady. Master is so confused!"

One sentence awakened Madam Wang, she couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said, "If I just hold back, they will come up more and more, it's time for my mother to come out and speak for us two!"

Aunt Xue laughed again, "It just happened that Bao girl made some needlework the day before yesterday. I saw some very good ones in it and I'm waiting to bring them to you. If you keep two pieces, I'll make some progress for your mother. Thank you very much." Niangniang, I still think about our precious girl."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "Bao girl's work is naturally good, unlike that one, who hasn't seen a single needle thread for half a year, and her actions are crooked, and the old lady loves her. I don't know why. .And it doesn't look like a long life!"

Aunt Xue Fang took the opportunity to laugh and said, "You don't know yet, it is said that although Princess Bei Jing recognized her as her goddaughter, she did not dare to bring her into the palace because she asked someone to make a fortune telling her about this. The girl hit Dai Ke, who specially hinders the people close to her. If you didn't tell me back then, when she came, she said to herself, "Everyone who has relatives and friends with other surnames should never see them, so that this life can be safe.", You still said to her Poor, isn't that right now?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked, "Is this really the case? Amituofo, even if you really know this, you shouldn't spread it outside. How can Miss Lin get married in the future?!"

Aunt Xue said, "Isn't it? Otherwise, I would like to ask Pan'er for such a good person, but even the concubine is very jealous of this matter. People like us have little blessings, and I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable." Stop her!"

Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Let the old lady worry about it. I'm still thinking, maybe it's true, but Baoyu's wickedness is also hateful, and she just likes to be obsessed with her."

Aunt Xue said with a smile, "Baoyu is still young, so he has to listen to you and your empress."

Mrs. Wang laughed and said some gossip before going to Jiamu's room.

The next day, Mrs. Xing, Wang, and Zhao dressed up together and entered the palace to thank Jia Mu. After a while, the eunuch Xia in Yuanchun Palace came out and said, "Your Majesty has a decree. I have had headaches for several days. I really have no choice but to see you again." Relatives, please only Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang go in and speak, and please Mrs. Zhao wait in the outer hall."

Every time the eunuch Xia got a lot of benefits from Jia's house and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang just squinted and pouted, and he naturally understood what she meant. Besides, how could Yuan Chun be willing to see a maid in his family who was equal to his mother, so He also asked eunuch Xia to come out first to dismiss the third wife.

The third wife couldn't help it, and knew that Mrs. Wang and her son looked down on her, and was afraid that Yuan Chun would not like Jia Huan because of her troubles, so she had to swallow this breath alone, and she didn't mention it to anyone when she returned to the mansion.It's just that Zhang Momo and Bai Momo beside her saw that she didn't go in for a while and then came out, and no eunuchs and maids outside paid attention to it. It took a long time for Madam Xing to come out, and it took a long time for Madam Wang to come out. When he came out, he couldn't guess the reason, so he secretly told Jia Huan.

In any case, Jia Huan never imagined that Mrs. Wang's intention to enter the palace this time was to plot against him and the third wife, but he felt that the third wife's temper could become so strong, which was very unexpected to him.If Aunt Zhao's temper was the same as before, she would sue everywhere if she couldn't come back, but now she can think of herself everywhere, it can be seen that no matter how many shortcomings this woman has, she is always the same. There is an advantage.
