Jia Cong, the concubine who crossed the Red Chamber

In the afternoon of this day, Jia Cong was leaning on Mrs. Xing's imperial concubine chair, flipping through an account book lazily.The five or six little maids below were busy running around, each with a pen and an account book.Two large sheets of paper were laid out on the ground, and several people wrote and drew on them.

When Mrs. Xing came in, she saw this scene.Immediately, he couldn't laugh or cry: "You little slicker, if I tell you to read the account book, you will be lazy."

Jia Cong hurriedly slipped down from the imperial concubine chair, bowed to say hello, and said: "Madam has worked hard, please come inside quickly. Lixia, quickly pour tea for your wife. I have a new Biluochun before, ask your wife to taste it first."

Mrs. Xing waved her hands, and said helplessly, "You're such a clever little ghost. If you know how to gag my mouth with good tea, you won't be tall if you have a long heart."

Jia Cong smiled and didn't care, and said, "I've done everything, so what do you want the servants to do? They are all literate, and they work together, which saves worry and effort, and is not easy to make mistakes."

Jia Cong made up his mind a long time ago that he can show intelligence and ability, but he must have shortcomings.People who have no flaws are the most likely to be feared, such as Xue Baochai.Therefore, Jia Cong gave people the impression that he was clever and intelligent, but unfortunately he was very naughty.Even learning some heresy from Madam Xing, she would be lazy from time to time.

Mrs. Xing may know about it, or maybe she doesn't know anything, and has been passing by with one eye closed.As for Jia Amnesty, at this time, although she was quite disheartened because of Jia's mother's injustice and suppression over the years.But different from the original book, he now has two smart sons and a virtuous stepmother.So on the contrary, he was lenient, and only cared about the upbringing of Xijue's eldest son and the character of his younger son, and ignored the rest.

Therefore, in the past few years, Jia Cong has become a first-class rich and idle person in Rongguo.What kind of rich and idle person?Jia Lian loves his clever and lovely younger brother very much. He is half sincere and half shows to others. The brothers and friends are very harmonious.From time to time, I would buy some new gadgets for my younger brother to play with.Compared with Jia Baoyu's elder brother who has been lingering on the sick bed, Jia Cong's little life is so enviable.As for the parents, Jia Amnesty asked Jia Cong to come over every three to five days, but to check his homework.Jia Cong was early-witted, and Jia Amnesty's requirements were not very strict. Naturally, this kind of homework would not trouble him.Therefore, the comparison between Jia Cong, who has received many rewards and praises every time, and Baoyu, who has to be rescued by the old lady every time to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, makes Mrs. Wang's teeth itch with hatred.

Mrs. Xing knows that sometimes the upbringing of a concubine is the most difficult.The prodigal son of the concubine may affect the majesty of the concubine.If the bastard behaves mediocrely, it is easy to spread rumors about the injustice of the mistress.Due to some unknowable reasons, Mrs. Xing cannot have a child in this life.And Jia Lian is already sensible and has her own decent family. Compared with Jia Cong who was freely raised under Mrs. Xing's knees, Mrs. Xing obviously thinks that Jia Cong is more reliable, so she is quite interested in Jia Cong.

No, Jia Cong was only young, so Mrs. Xing gave Jia Cong a well-promising little Zhuangzi in her dowry, and asked him to practice his skills.Of course, on the other hand, Jia Lian also has a bigger share to show fairness.

Who is Jia Cong, a lazy person that Tianzi No. [-] will enjoy.After getting the account book, he waved his little hand, so-and-so, you go to the field to find out how the harvest has been in the past two years.That so-and-so, you go to the market to inquire about the price.For the rest, these two people count this account, and these two people count there.Calculate them separately, and then check whether the calculations are the same.In the end, all the accounts handed in by everyone were collected to Jia Cong, and the categories were clear at a glance.

Although Mrs. Xing could not understand Jia Cong's laziness, she had to admit that it was a good way to do so, saving time and effort.Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Cong had her own idea, so she didn't say much, she thought about it: "There is one more thing to tell you about the news from the Lin family, your aunt is weak, and the child's condition is not very good, the old lady is worried. "

Jia Cong heard the effect of the original work in his heart.

Three years ago, news came from Jiangnan that Jia Min was pregnant.This matter can be hidden from others, but Mrs. Xing.The mother-in-law the Lin family asked for Daiyu had a very good relationship with the mother-in-law Wang at the beginning, and private news spread that Jia Min was diagnosed as having no possibility of pregnancy anymore.Jia Minxu saw that Mrs. Xing was living a good life, so she thought of an idea for Li Daitao to be stiff.After discussing with Lin Ruhai, she blamed the son conceived by the aunt on her head, and only claimed that it was Jia Min's son.After all, being raised by the aunt's side is a concubine, and there is still a certain gap compared with the concubine born by the wife of the main house.

In this way, without even Jia's mother knowing, Jia Min "conceived" an heir of the Lin family, conceived in October, and it was a boy.Mother Jia was overjoyed. Her daughter had been married to the Lin family for many years and had no children. She finally had a sister and son, and now she gave birth to a son.Jia Min's taste is hard to describe.Looking at this child, I like and feel sad at the same time.What I like is that this is my own son, and the Lin family has a queen, but what I am sad about is why this is not my own.

Under such happy or sad emotions, Jia Min's already weak body naturally became more and more sick.Now Lin's brother is not in good health, and Jia Min has been lying on the sick bed for several months.Mother Jia was worried about her daughter's situation and was very anxious, so she consulted with Mrs. Xing and Wang.In the end, nothing was discussed.

After hearing this, Jia Cong couldn't help but feel happy.Recently, Jia's life is too leisurely, Madam Wang is in a good mood, she must find something to do for her.

The next day, at Jia Mu's place, after everyone said hello, Jia Mu mentioned the Lin family's affairs again.

Mrs. Wang held the Buddhist beads in her hand, turned around slowly, raised her eyelids, and said: "The old lady is merciful. In my opinion, the girl is a blessed one. She has both sons and daughters. She will be auspicious. She has her own appearance. The old lady is not as good as many Go over with some supplements and express your compassion, the girl will benefit from seeing it, maybe it will be all right."

Now it is still Jia Mu who is in charge of the family. After all, Jia Mu is old.Gradually, it became a little difficult.It's just that she doesn't look down on the eldest daughter-in-law who came from a small family, and she doesn't worry about the ambitious second daughter-in-law who still insists on being a director.So Mrs. Wang can be very generous at this time to sell favors with things from the public.

Mother Jia was very pleased with what she heard, and she was very satisfied with Mrs. Wang's understanding of emotions and interests. On the other hand, Mrs. Xing lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking.Jia Mu was immediately unhappy, and said, "Tell me, old man, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Xing thought for a while, and said slowly: "Today, my brother complained to me. I feel sorry for my sister. There are too many things to learn, which is more tiring than taking the number one prize. Not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also to learn female celebrity, needlework, and cooking. Art and housekeeper, it’s very hard work. I thought, maybe the eldest girl taught her niece and daughter in the same way at home. It’s already very hard for the eldest girl to take care of her brother, so why don’t the old lady share some of the burden for the eldest girl?”

When Jia Mu heard this, her heart suddenly brightened.This is what the elders are good at. Although Xiaojiazi is a little angry, he is good in his heart, and he doesn't always want to pinch the tip.This is a good idea. It can not only alleviate the hard work of the daughter, but also shorten the distance between Jialin and his family.As a result of this confrontation, Mrs. Xing had the upper hand.

It is unknown how Mother Jia persuaded the Lin family to send their only daughter to be raised, let alone Wang Momo's life in the Wang family.

At first, when Wang Ziteng invited him, Wang Momo did not agree, knowing that she had worked for the eldest wife of the Rongguo Mansion, so she should avoid suspicion.Originally, Wang Ziteng thought it would be fine, but what if it was a nail sent by the eldest wife.But Wang Xifeng, the only queen of the Wang family, has an idea.

Among the four families of King Jiashi, Xue, except for Xue's family who lived in Jinling all the year round and did not come and go frequently, the rest of the families were very close.Since she was young, Wang Xifeng often made promises with Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and others to be at Jia's mother's knees, calling each other brothers and sisters.Although Jia Zhen is the successor of Ningguo Mansion, she is a bit vulgar.Compared with Jia Lian, who is such a handsome young man, Wang Xifeng obviously has a lot of thoughts on Jia Lian.Therefore, I thought about learning more from Jia Lian's mother's former mother.

Mother Wang didn't know what it meant at first, but after she found out, she hurriedly sent a letter to Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing thought for a while, and then discussed with Jia Cong, which also meant to test.

Jia Cong squeezed a piece of pastry, threw it into his mouth, read Mother Wang's letter carefully, and said with a smile: "Mother, think about it. People say that a woman is a mother. If there is a conflict between the aunt and nephew, Wang Your Excellency and Madam Wang, will they favor the second wife, or your own daughter?"

When Mrs. Xing heard this, she was very satisfied, and she thought that if this Wang Xifeng came in one day, the second wife would win her over, and the gain would outweigh the loss.After careful planning, he sent a letter to Mother Wang in detail.

In fact, Jia Cong still had some small ideas in his heart.Although Wang Xifeng was a bit stupid, she was also courageous.But she has a straightforward personality, straight to the point, and not very scheming.If there is another more powerful one, wouldn't it be a bit dangerous for me, the bastard who is loved by my aunt?Sister Feng will do those stupid things in the future, and Madam Wang's instigation also has a lot to do with it.I knew what she was like a long time ago, so I just happened to be able to hold onto this sister-in-law.Not only can he make plans for himself, but he can also provoke the relationship between the second wife and her natal family, so why not do it?
