Jiazhu of the Red Chamber

It is said that Zhu Ting left with everyone, and the servants of each family went up to the third floor to see what happened, for fear that something went wrong with their master, and they would not be able to explain it when they went back. With nowhere to go, they sent the servants downstairs one by one with dark faces, and followed Shui Rong Jia Zhu to the next room.

Jia Zhu took a seat next to Shui Rong, comforting him with gentle words: "What a big deal, it's worth your anger? You and I have known each other for several years, and this is the first time I've seen you angry." After finishing speaking, he poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

Niu Yaojie said: "It's your first day here, so I don't know why. This Zhu Ting has repeatedly provoked the prince, but I don't know why."

Shui Rong took a sip of tea, his face turned pale, and he said, "Today is Jia Zhu's first day of school. I wanted to take this opportunity to reunite everyone, but I didn't expect to be disturbed by that fellow. Various reasons can't be explained for a while. After you and I go back, I'll talk to you in detail, don't be turned off by that person."

Those who care about the overall situation listened to Shui Rong's words and knew that he didn't want to mention the rift with Zhu Ting in front of everyone, so he hurriedly said: "My lord's words are reasonable, why bother to share their knowledge."

Although the words are reasonable, but everyone is still young, it is the age of fighting and fighting, this kind of unreasonable idleness has grown a lot, and gradually there is a rift between them and the new rich.

After the meal, the crowd dispersed, Shui Rong pulled Jia Zhu, not wanting to let him go, but saw Wang Shan, a young servant from Jia's mansion, galloping over on horseback, rolled off his horse at the gate of Jingshun Building, knelt and hugged Jia Zhu's leg and said: "Master, hurry back, Mrs. Jing from the next door is gone."

Jia Zhu turned pale with shock, and asked anxiously, "Speak carefully!"

Wang Shan wiped his tears and snot and said, "Sir, don't ask any more questions. The master and his wife have summoned the master to return home quickly."

Shui Rong hurriedly pushed him and said, "Go back quickly and let me know if there is anything to do."

After Jia Zhu bid farewell to him, he rushed to Ningguo Mansion with his entourage. The entire Ningguo Mansion was covered with white paper and cloth, even the two big stone lions at the gate were covered with white cloth. They all wear white clothes and white flowers.Seeing Jia Zhu coming, Jia Zhen welcomed him to the mourning hall. Jia Zhu cried and changed into mourning clothes. After meeting Jia Zhen, she wanted to comfort him, but found that Jia Zhen's face was full of sadness. No more words, went to the inner hall to see Youshi, Youshi was not in the inner hall, only saw Mrs. Wang, who was holding an infant baby in her arms. Jia Zhu knew it was Jia Zhen's younger sister, Xichun. There were tears on the small face of Diao Yuzhuo, and he couldn't help feeling pity.

Mrs. Wang handed Xichun to the nurse, took Jia Zhu's hand, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his sweat carefully, saying: "Look at the sweat all over, be careful not to catch a cold."

Jia Zhu asked, "Why don't you see Uncle?"

Mrs. Wang said with a sad face: "Your uncle is good at alchemy, and the family affairs have already been handed over to your elder brother, and you don't care about other things. I just sent someone to Xuanzhen Temple to invite you, and said that everything should be kept simple, and your elder brother will leave it to you." Handle it. Pity your aunt who has been in poor health since she gave birth to your sister. She hasn't recovered after nearly a year of recuperation. After the Chinese New Year, she should have gotten better. She said that it would be better to survive the winter. Who knows that she suddenly deteriorated last night. Today It went like this. It’s really pitiful to leave your sister so young.” After speaking, tears fell like beads.

Jia Zhu softly comforted Mrs. Wang for a while, and seeing that she stopped crying, she continued to ask: "I see that the outside is in a mess, and I'm afraid I will disturb my fourth sister these few days. I don't know what the elder brother and sister-in-law are planning."

Mrs. Wang said: "My son, you are really careful. Before you came, the old lady told you that she would take your fourth sister to the old lady later. There are many girls in our house, so we can count on someone to accompany you. "

After hearing this, Jia Zhu felt relieved. Although he didn't come to Ningguo Mansion often, he had heard gossip about this mansion from other people: Jia Jing practiced in Xuanzhen Temple all the year round, Jia Zhen was the head of this mansion, and someone restrained him in the past. Fortunately, ever since his mother fell ill, he has become more and more unrestrained. As long as the maids in the mansion are reasonably good-looking, they can't get rid of his harassment. The house is full of smog, it is really not suitable for a girl's house.

He chatted with Mrs. Wang again, it was very noisy outside, Mrs. Wang thought she had a headache, and said to send Xichun back to Rongguo Mansion before coming back, and before leaving, she asked Jia Zhu to go back as soon as possible after finishing her work.

Jia Zhu sent Mrs. Wang out, and came out again to meet Jia Zhen. At that time, all the members of the Jia family came, and Jia Zhen cried again, and then said: "Father has sent a message, the world It is inconvenient for outsiders to ask more common matters, let me discuss with you all." Jia Dairu said: "What do you think?"

Jia Zhen said: "My mother is frugal by nature, and she once said that extravagance should not be wasted, but how can I do simple things as a son? There is no shortage of gold and silver in the house, so what should I do if I look good!"

Jia Zhen took the big idea and arranged for a special person to be in charge of various trivial matters. Jia Zhu was still young and didn't make special arrangements for affairs. She only followed Jia Zheng to welcome guests and returned home to rest at night.

Seeing his tired face, Wen Xin fetched water for him to wash and wash, and said: "This morning, the servant brought back a collection of books, pens and cultural relics, but I don't know where the only one is the heater."

Jia Zhu had such a wonderful day, how could she remember these details, but she also knew that everything in the yard was recorded by Wenxin, which day was taken out and when it was brought back, and it was clearly marked one by one. If it is not very lost, it must be marked when and by whom it was lost, so as to prepare for future inquiries.Jia Zhu has always appreciated Wen Xin's carefulness, so naturally she would not embarrass her, so she said: "I left it in the mansion."

Wen Xin said: "I remember, it's just that the lady next door has gone, and I can't go to the courtyard for a month. I'm afraid I won't be able to find it next time."

Jia Zhu nodded and said: "Exactly, I don't know who will pick it up, and it's not a valuable thing, my sister will record it."

Wen Xin agreed, wrote it down in the pamphlet, and said worriedly: "There is a funeral in the next door, people come and go, everyone, not only people from our two houses, the accessories on the uncle's body are amazing. Be careful, don't be taken by anyone."

Jia Zhu said: "You don't need to bring anything when you go out these few days, so as to save trouble."

Ziyu said: "It's good for the Lord to think about us. I'm afraid I will lose face, and some gossip will see me, and I will tell the old lady, my wife, and talk about our laziness instead."

Wenxin pushed Ziyu to the door, and said: "Don't say such mean things in front of the master, we will do our best, and we are not afraid of other people's gossip."

Jia Zhu was wearing a middle coat and a satin robe, half lying on the bed reading, not thinking about Ziyu's implication, he is a smart person, the house is calm on the surface, but in fact there are various disputes simmering undercurrents, How can there be no reason to understand.It's just that his ambition is not in the Rongguo Mansion. A man should earn a fame, win glory for the family, and protect the clansman from wind and rain.
