Jia Qiang's Ordinary Life

Jia Qiang has turned 16 years old, so it can be said that it is time to talk about marriage. The teachers and the seniors of the Imperial Academy always make fun of him, saying that they will help him choose a beautiful wife and so on.I have to say that Jia Qiang's conditions are still very good. His family has a permanent property (although it is not much in the eyes of outsiders), he is handsome, and he has already achieved fame. Father and no mother, there is always a suspicion of too hard fate, but from another perspective, this is also a good thing, living alone without parents means that when a daughter enters the house, she is the head of the house and does not need to go to her mother-in-law Set up rules and haggle over everything with your sisters-in-law and brothers over the family property. You only need to concentrate on serving your husband and managing the rear house, which saves a lot of trouble.If Jia Qiang had such conditions in her previous life, she would have been married a long time ago, so how could she delay until she was almost 30 years old.

According to the ideas of the Xu family's two uncles and grandpas and Mr. Sun, if Jia Qiang wants to marry a lady from a scholarly family, she doesn't need a rich family, as long as she is knowledgeable, gentle and virtuous, and able to support her husband and raise her children.Therefore, the scope of their selection is naturally in the clear stream.The Xu family and the Sun family were very optimistic about Jia Qiang. If they didn't have unmarried girls of the right age, they would have looked elsewhere.But Jia's family is still Jia Qiang's serious relatives, and no one thought of it.

Jia Qiang didn't care too much about this. In future generations, a 16-year-old is still in middle school, and he can marry a wife and have children anywhere.He complained to Li Cheng in this way, saying that he felt as if he had become a Chinese cabbage in the vegetable market, and was judged by others. Li Cheng laughed, but joked that he knew many princesses who were in their prime. His identity is worthy of them. Would you like to introduce him?Jia Qiang was so angry that she rolled his eyes at him, and sneered back, saying that your wife died early and your children were raised by young people. It's just right, and I know some ladies from famous families who are just right to marry you.Apart from not telling Jia Qiang his real name, Li Cheng did not hide most of the facts from him. For example, he was the youngest son in the family and his elder brother had inherited the family business. In other words, he is a serious and wealthy idler.He doesn't need to be an errand, he has a noble title, and he has been assigned a lot of property, which is enough to maintain his luxurious life, so he doesn't need to worry about trivial matters.

This year is Jia Jing's 50th birthday. Logically, it is necessary to take care of it. After all, he is his uncle. Jia Qiang also did what he liked, and directly gave him a set of Taoism, which really suits Jia Jing. Xinyi, he simply asked his family not to hold any banquets, but to engrave and print out the "Yin Zhiwen" he compiled before, get [-] copies, and distribute them to show filial piety.As for himself, he still stayed in Xuanzhen Temple, refusing to come back.

After dinner, except for a few elders who got up to say goodbye, the rest of the people followed into the garden. Jia Zhen invited a few well-known opera troupes and set up a stage in the garden, singing "Magu's Happy Birthday" Kind of drama.Sitting at the banquet, Jia Rong felt bored listening to the people around her talking and laughing and talking about romantic things.The Jia family is still very prosperous at the moment. For Jia Jing’s birthday, the four mansions of the princes of the opposite sex, the other six mansions of the princes, and the mansions of the eight princes all sent people to send generous gifts. Speaking of which, it’s no wonder that the Jia family waited The family did not come to a good end in the end. It was because the dukes’ mansions were too deeply involved and intertwined. Even the titles had been downgraded one by one. However, the network was still very large. There are four county princes’ mansions, and now there is a king of Beijing. Still claiming the throne, it's no wonder that the emperor is taboo, such a huge force is already enough to threaten the imperial power.

Jia Qiang was chatting and laughing with a group of grass-roots relatives around her, while sitting there listening to a few little actors singing on the stage.Few of the people at the banquet were listening to the opera seriously, but they commented on the figure and appearance of the actors, and felt bored in their hearts, so they reasoned that they drank two glasses of wine and wanted to go for a couple of laps to get distracted, so they left. seats.

The other side of the garden was full of female relatives, and Jia Qiang couldn't move around at will, but found a place to sit behind a rockery, but heard two little maids talking not far away.

"Grandma Rong was ill a few days ago and has been unable to afford it. She has lost a lot of weight!"

"Oh, I don't know when the eldest grandma will get better. Now the wife is in charge of the house, and she is very mean. She will toss us slaves for even a little thing! It's a pity that she has done what the second grandma Lian in the west mansion did. , and not as capable as Second Mistress Lian!"

"Don't talk nonsense, if the wife finds out, the monthly payment will be deducted again, and it will be a board! A few days ago, the wife just took back the power of housekeeper, and a few people were a little contemptuous, and they were fined to hang on the bluestone in the yard. I've been kneeling for a long time!"

The two walked away while talking, Jia Qiang was also taken aback when she heard this, it seems that Qin Keqing's life is not long, but on the contrary, Jia's mansion is going to be more powerful because of Yuan Chun's concubine's momentum On the first floor, the flowers are really blooming, and the fire is cooking oil, I'm afraid it won't last long.

Jia Qiang secretly sighed in her heart, and stopped listening to the play, and directly pleaded guilty, and went back by herself.

In the following time, I heard that Qin Keqing's illness was good and bad, but he was still bedridden soon. It is said that the ginseng bought in a few famous big pharmacies in Ningguo Mansion these days can nourish the body. Nosebleeds to death.Jia Qiang sighed inwardly, and sent someone to deliver two wild ginseng brought back from Korea.I don't know what people think at this time. Although ginseng is a good thing, I can't help supplementing it like this.

A few days later, someone came over and said that Jia Dairu, the only grandson of Jia's family school, died, and it seemed that the cause of death was somewhat disgraceful. Although Jia Qiang said that he had never listened to the old man's class, it is said that That Jia Dairu had taught his father, so he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, so he sent someone to send 15 taels of silver for Jia Dairu's funeral.Jia Qiang only remembered a rough idea of ​​the plot of Dream of Red Mansions, so of course she didn't know that the one who died was Jia Rui, who died under the peony flower in a serious way, and was also a romantic ghost.

It was almost the twelfth lunar month at this time, and I thought there was nothing wrong, but someone from Yangzhou came to pick up Lin Daiyu again, saying that Lin Ruhai was not feeling well and wanted to pick up her daughter.

Hearing the news, Jia Qiang sighed in her heart. After all, she was too small as a butterfly, and what should have happened had happened. Next, it must be a few funerals, plus Yuanchun's good news.

Sure enough, not long after the new year, Qin Keqing disappeared.Jia Qiang went to the Ningguo Mansion to mourn the funeral, but she saw Jia Zhen holding a mourning stick, crying out of breath, like a mourning concubine, not a daughter-in-law, but a dead ancestor!Jia Qiang felt angry when she saw it, and saw that Jia Zhen went to the Yin and Yang Division of Qin Tianjian to choose the date of burial, and she needed to rest for seven to seven days, so she invited another 49 eminent monks and 99 Quanzhen Taoist priests After doing the water and land dojo for Qin Keqing for 49 days on July [-], he even got an illegal coffin from Xue Pan. He looked as if he wanted to die on Qin Keqing's behalf. Hit him on the head.You know, when Mrs. Xu passed away, what was it like, but after three days of inactivity, Jia Zhen still looked reluctant, even refusing to put on an appearance, that was his own mother!

Jia Qiang was angry in her heart, and he and Qin Keqing were not close friends, so they hadn't even met each other a few times, so they couldn't pretend to be sad. After one meeting, after that, he would never take another step towards Ningguo Mansion.Anyway, he and Qin Keqing have already issued three suits, and in the next generation, they will have to issue five suits. After July 49, [-], there is no reason for the younger uncle to keep filial piety for the cousin. Jia Qiang simply continued to go to the Imperial Academy. up.
