[Red Mansions] Rebirth of Jia Mu's Ronghua Records

It is said that the two old foxes, King Nan'an and King Zhongshun, are much more knowledgeable than their sons.

On the bright side, seeing the frequent exchanges between the two eldest sons, the two elders only raised their grandchildren in their respective mansions, and occasionally went to the outskirts of Zhuangzi to relax, showing a look of peace of mind and a leisurely life. Relatives, friends and allies are still under the control of the two old men.

However, as the son got older and saw that he was about to enter the age of forty, the two old men, King Nan'an and King Zhongshun, tacitly began to hand over their power and some secrets of their own family to their son. Unfortunately, the old man of Nan'an Wang As soon as he made the beginning, he swallowed his breath first-this is the hidden danger of love for power.

When he got the news and was galloping for hundreds of miles, the son of Prince Nan'an with a haggard and exhausted face dismounted when he got off his horse. Kneeling down and touching the coffin, weeping and weeping—except for my own father who will never wake up again, and those unaccounted for people and things in the family may never be found again!

The filial concubine arranged for her mother-in-law, and when she returned to the mourning hall and saw her husband crying uncontrollably, she had to ask someone to take the eldest son back to the room to rest for a while, and she had to stay here, and she had to make arrangements while handling the general affairs. Appropriate people go to greet and send.

The Nan'an Palace was full of sadness, and the Ningguo Mansion without the mistress was obviously not much better.

His wife, who had been with him for most of his life, passed away suddenly. Jia Daihua's hair turned white overnight, and he sat in front of his wife's coffin, without saying a word or thinking about food and drink. Finally, his children knelt and persuaded him for a long time before he nodded and went back. An Xie... Seeing him the next day, his eyes were still swollen.

From Shi Lingyi's point of view, this uncle's character is another matter, but he is a well-deserved good husband and father: he has no concubine, and there is no common room in the family. He loves his wife and raises his children carefully, let alone the things that should be borne by him. Escaped, and always took the initiative to agree.

Jia Daishan and Shi Lingyi each had a division of labor, Jia Daishan comforted his cousin Jia Daihua, and Shi Lingyi offered incense to his sister-in-law, seeing that the house is in order, he felt relieved.

Shi Shi went, and her two sons, Jia Fu and Jia Jing, both had Ding You, which was a good thing for the Ning Mansion: Jia Jing was an official outside, and he was "out of reach" for several years. When he returns to Beijing, his father will teach him well.

Although Jia Jing is Prince Gong's accompanying student, he is a little unfamiliar these years.

It's a long story. When Prince Gong was the tenth prince of the first emperor, he was favored because of his cleverness. But when he became an adult and got married, he became a prince and took part in the government. Seeing his character, from then on, Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan secretly didn't think much of him.

Prince Gong should be one of the princes and county kings who hold real power in the clan, the one who can respect the virtuous and the corporals the most. He is as modest and magnanimous as other royal nobles, but in fact he has a bit of "I think highly of you, that is, your eight lifetimes" The blessings that have been cultivated" have a completely different demeanor, and his solicitation is much more sincere.

Therefore, Prince Gong has indeed won the support of many aristocratic families.However, this prince has another fatal problem, he is easy to be a turtle at a critical moment.

Back then, when several parties were wrestling, he retreated without warning, leaving his allies and cronies in the front to stand in front of him. This matter was publicized by those who cared about it, and it almost spread throughout the capital. Everyone talked about it openly because of shame. , but secretly, Prince Gong suffered a lot of contempt.

Although everyone can guess that it must be the Holy One himself who made Prince Gong willing to compromise like this, but with his retreat, there is nothing left of the reputation he had accumulated before.

Even Jia Jing was chilled because of this, and after that, he and Prince Gong were no longer as warm as before.Realizing that the companion is also gradually estranged from himself, Prince Gong did not hesitate to write three autographed letters in succession, expressing his own difficulties, and finally got Jia Jing's understanding.

Afterwards, Jia Jing was quite emotional: the prince really misses the past, at least he is lenient and courteous to his confidants and old ministers.But he didn't want to think about it, if his father was not an official, and his uncle Jia Daishan was the deputy envoy of the Privy Council and the emperor's trustee, how could he let Prince Gong lower his value and explain it himself?Rather than caring about Jia Jing as a companion, Prince Gong definitely didn't want to give up these small ties with Ningrong and the two prefectures.

Afterwards, Jia Jing wrote this matter into a family letter. Jia Daihua only read half of it, so he threw the letter to his eldest son Jia Fu, "From now on, don't worry about your younger brother's business, no matter what he begs you."

Jia Fu said, "Yes."

In other words, it is considered unlucky for Jia Jing to have a brother like Jia Fu who is extremely smart and skilled.Not to mention the Ning Mansion, the only one in Lianrong Mansion who can really compete with Jia Fu in dealing with people... is Jia Min, and even Jia You is slightly inferior.

When Jia Jing and his wife rushed back to the capital, his mother, Shi Shi, had passed the first seven days.Almost the whole family lost weight, the thin father, the pale elder brother, and the coffin in the mourning hall... Jia Jing couldn't help but burst into tears.

Jia Jing's daughter-in-law is now pregnant with Liujia, and she struggled for half a morning, and her whole body wobbled a little when she walked... Fortunately, she has been indifferent since she married into Ningfu. After saying that she was just tired and nothing serious, she told Sister Feng to take care of her mother-in-law, and then she took her daughter-in-law back to make arrangements for the funeral.

Sister Feng is also a bit uncomfortable, she has been in the house for almost three years, and there is no movement, and her mother-in-law is almost forty, and she is pregnant with a child... But since Jia Zhen returned to the capital, there are grandfathers and grandfathers who have gone Together with discipline, I have grown a lot.

To be honest, Jia Zhen doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and doesn't know how to restrain herself, which has something to do with his mother Zhang's doting too much.In the past, his grandfather Jia Daihua didn't bother to care about it, but now when it's time to ignore it, a few sticks can crush Jia Zhen's wanton heart: you are "sick" in the front, and you won't delay the beating later.

But after the stick, Jia Daihua waited for Jia Zhen to recover from his injuries, and often called him into the study, and explained to him the situation in the capital in detail, how many talented people from the clan, nobles, scholarly families, and poor scholars, Including those who come and go frequently, those who are not easy to offend, those who have enmity with their own family, those who don't need to be close, and those who are best ignored...

Since then, Jia Zhen has not only changed her body, but also has a refreshing feeling.At least in Jia Daihua's eyes, this grandson is better than his father.

In the mother-in-law's room, Sister Feng kept watch all afternoon. Seeing that her mother-in-law fell asleep after taking the medicine, she also gently rubbed her temples. Just as she was about to go back and rest for a while, she heard the report from the eldest girl: Her mother's family is here. Visited.

As the best married girl in the Wang family, the Wang family was taken aback when they heard that Sister Feng and Jia Zhen had a quarrel upside down and even fought.After muttering in secret, I was frightened for a while, and found that my aunt was not only safe, but also had some upper hand. It would be more effective for Sister Feng to speak at her mother's house.

This is not surprising. Sister Feng heard Jia Daihua or Jia Fu's one or two words about the government at her husband's house, and passed them back to her mother's house, which was enough for her father and uncle to ponder for a while.

It was Wang Ziteng's daughter-in-law who came back this time. She had offered incense, greeted Mrs. Liu and was annoyed, then went to Sister Feng's yard - Sister Feng's grandfather was not in good health, her parents and uncle were doing their filial piety at home... ...It is not a small matter to have Wang Ziteng's wife come in person at this time.

As Sister Feng expected, something happened to her natal family.And Wang Ziteng's wife also knows that her aunt is hot-blooded, if she is not allowed to know the truth, and there will be troubles in the future, there are not many means in the family's family that can hold her back...

Wang Ziteng's wife is Sister Feng's aunt, and she was quite calm. She asked Sister Feng how she was doing, and told her to be filial and take care of her body. Isn't it just like a fierce spirit, telling our master that if he refuses to take refuge, he will reveal what the old master did back then..." Wang Ziteng is a second-class Jinshi with a promising future, and the rest of the Wang family, the fourth prince, also sees it. not on.

The old man was talking about Wang Ziteng's father and Sister Feng's grandfather. He came from Jinling to the capital to become an official. Of course, he used some gold and silver, and the bribes were not clean.

Coincidentally, Shangfeng, who was bribed by the retired old man of the Wang family, was one of the second prince's uncles. In the opinion of the fourth prince's staff, wouldn't it be a good time to beat the dog in the water?

Sister Feng was furious when she heard the words, and wanted to scold a few words, but found that she and her aunt couldn't say the same.Today's Sister Feng doesn't love money very much, she only wants her husband to make progress, being an official is much more important than making money!

After thinking about it, she felt that her father-in-law Jia Jing probably couldn't control her, so she said to her aunt: "Auntie, let's go to the aunt's place to find out."

At this time, Sister Feng made a good choice. Jia Fu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, just finished her discussion and was talking to her daughter-in-law, Jia Luo's wife.

Sister Feng and her natal aunt came here together, and Mrs. Liu knew that she would not go to the Three Treasure Hall if there was nothing to do, and these two must be asking her for something.Mrs. Liu asked the two to sit down, and sent her daughter-in-law away, then she asked with a smile, "They are all relatives, what are you afraid of?"

Wang Ziteng's wife also blushed when she heard the words, "I really don't know..." Afterwards, she made it clear, but she didn't mention the source of the old man's bribe.

Liu Shi, who was born in a famous family and well-informed, also felt that his eyes were opened: when Prince Gong asked Jia Jing to win over the sons of aristocratic families and scholars of Xinke, he was not so "confident".

So this "difficult matter" of the Wang family was passed from the Ning Mansion to the Rong Mansion, and when Shi Lingyi heard about it, she followed the route she and the Crown Princess had agreed on earlier, and mixed this small note in the Fei family's house for the Crown Princess. The letter was successfully passed to the Crown Princess.

The Crown Princess was talking to Yuan Chun and Baochai at this time - Baochai has learned a lot of skills in the past few years in the East Palace, and her knowledge may be better than many ladies from famous families.

When the crown princess talked about the concubine of Xining Wang, Baochai was quite satisfied: Even if she was lucky enough to be favored by the prince, look at those concubines in the East Palace who are not favored and have no serious status... How can she not feel cold?This concubine of Xining Wang is also on the front line now, so it can be seen that he is a man who knows how to make progress.Although it was a continuation, the first wife did not leave any children.If it weren't for me being the crown princess and the former female official, I might not have such a marriage.

As for Yuan Chun, she had been wary of her cousin Baochai earlier, but now she has the air of a woman who can do everything. She can earn a good marriage for her cousin, accumulate some good fortune, and maybe one day she will get something in return.

The three women chatted happily, and the princess received the letters from her family, especially the news from her close friend Shi Lingyi, and said to herself: It is really rare to have good news.

When the prince comes back, there is no need to add oil and vinegar. The princess came truthfully. When the prince heard it, he was a little sad, "Daughter-in-law, how do you think I should complain to the emperor?"

The princess was speechless, and after a while she said: "Why did you go by yourself?" Why does her husband look so shocked?

"Fourth brother..." The prince pointed his fingertips to the southwest, "There is a relationship over there, I guess it's useless to file a complaint." Once the prince opened up the chatterbox with his wife, he couldn't stop it, "Even if the Northwest is flattened , I can't move these two from Southwest for a while."

The princess blinked, and her guess was very reliable, "No money?"

"Well." The prince took a deep breath, "Northwest is restored, if King Zhongyi's treasury does not have more than [-]% of grain, grass, gold and silver left... This battle will be a big loss..."

The Crown Princess frowned, her body trembling slightly, "I... am going to give birth..."

Two hours later, the Crown Princess gave birth to a son, both mother and child were safe.

The prince was holding his pink and tender son, and his wife with loose hair was leaning against him. He also forgot his troubles for the time being, and smirked so much that even the younger son seemed a little impatient, frowning and flattening his mouth...

The Crown Princess also refused to let her husband live in peace, repeating the old saying, "What is the fastest way to get money? Copy the big family."
