The husband of the Red Chamber is upright

Mr. Gao guessed wrong this time, and it was rare for Jia Zheng not to retire from illness.

In the past, the reason why Jia Zheng retired from illness for a few days was because Mr. Gao's speaking skills were not very good, which made Jia Zheng think that he had already lost face in front of the newcomers—maybe many times the newcomers really didn't want to go in, and everything It was just Jia Zheng's mediocrity—instead of responding with the strange eyes of a newcomer, he, Yuanwailang, who didn't have much presence in the Ministry of Industry, simply rested at home.Of course, Jia Zheng thought that he was still very important, and that the operation of the Ministry of Industry was inseparable from him, so after a few days, when the newcomers would probably forget about it, Jia Zheng canceled He came back from sick leave to the Ministry of Industry, which "may have problems running away from him".

But this time, the previous relationship between Jia Zheng and Jia Lin, except for someone like Mr. Gao who doesn't like gossip at all, can be said to be known to everyone.Jia Zheng thought that if he didn't come to the Ministry of Industry, it would appear that he, an old man, was afraid of his son.So, although he lost his temper a lot when he went home, Jia Zheng still came the next day.

Although Jia Zheng has made all the mental preparations, for example, what kind of attitude he should show when he meets Jia Lin, it will neither appear that he is disrespectful to his boss, nor will it make people feel that he is in front of Jia Lin. Short of ambition.The most important thing is that he has to keep an eye on Jia Lin. If he is young and ignorant of world affairs and makes some mistakes, he will be caught.

However, from the very first day, Jia Lin was dragged into a small black room by Mr. Gao. No, she went to discuss mechanics with Mr. Gao.Then, Jia Zheng, who was left behind, suddenly felt... lonely.

When you are lonely, it is easy to think too much.Back then, he was a middle-aged handsome uncle with a happy life.The eldest son strives for success, and the eldest daughter has a lot of room for appreciation, but now, the eldest son has passed away from illness—this is something that did not happen after he was admitted to the Jinshi——the eldest daughter doesn’t care, but the bastard who was discarded at the beginning is now prosperous , It made many people laugh at themselves for being blind.Thinking of this, Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

Of course, Jia Zheng is a perfect person (in his own opinion), and of course he doesn't think that all this is caused by himself.Jia Zhu was because he was unlucky, and Yuanchun was because his wife was messing around (Jia Zheng didn't dare to say that Jia's mother was wrong, so naturally it was Mrs. Wang's fault. Mother Jia is indeed a filial son), as for Jia Lin... If he hadn't been released from the clan at the beginning, then when the imperial order was made, he might have to worry about whether he was the aunt or the birth mother, but there is only one father anyway!

Jia Zheng couldn't help sighing again.Jia Zhu has gone, but fortunately, he left behind blood... Wait, Jia Zheng twirled his bearded hand for a while.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Since Jia Lin joined the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry has produced a lot of good things one after another, and this is obvious to all. All of a sudden, Jia Lin's reputation in the aristocratic family has become stronger than before.

Autumn will soon be here, and the Zhou family has officially stepped into the social circle of noble ladies in Kyoto.Madam communication is still necessary.Now that Jia Lin is getting higher and higher, the wives will sell Zhou's face to some extent. In addition, Zhou's body is a second-rank edict. In the banquet, there are really not many wives who are really higher than Zhou's edict.

Besides, Zhou's original aunt did not step on her first wife to take the position. What she got now is due to her having a good son... If Jia Wang's mother-in-law hadn't tried every means to give Jia Lin to the clan, It's not Zhou's turn to get this imperial order now.In this way, there will be fewer people who are not used to the Zhou family among the main wives, although they are naturally not used to the aunt as the first wife.

More importantly, Mrs. Zhou didn't just change from an aunt to Mrs. Gaoming. She spent two years learning the rules from the nuns in the palace, and now she can do every move very well.Even though some wives had some grudges against Zhou Shi at the beginning, once they started to get in touch with Zhou Shi, they gradually accepted her. Much more generous.Interests and friendship were bound together, and the Zhou family gradually formed their own small social circle.

However, although Zhou's life has become more fulfilling, troubles have also followed.The most depressing thing is that there are already many wives asking about Jia Lin like Mrs. Zhou overtly and secretly, implying that one of their nieces is good, and even promoting their daughters.Of course, in view of Jia Lin's special situation, if she really introduced her daughter to the Zhou family, she must either be a concubine or a small family.Looking at the current situation, Zhou naturally couldn't cope.However, as a mother, she is selfish after all, and she is unwilling to say something so deadly, and she has to deal with these people one by one.

Among them, what made Zhou laugh and cry the most was that some people who put their minds on Qin Shu actually passed their words to her.

On this day, it was a Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet organized by the wives of Zuo Du Yushi (Cong Yipin) of the Procuratorate, and all the wives were invited.The main wife's maiden name is Shen, and her husband's family name is Gao (it has a little relationship with Jia Lin's immediate boss, Mrs. Gao).Gao's family is a scholarly family, but Mrs. Gao's natal family is full of people who love to dance with guns and clubs. Therefore, Mrs. Gao has a very cheerful temperament and is not impatient with those red tapes.Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Zhou are about the same age, and have a young son who is about the same age as Jia Lin, so they have a lot to talk about since they met.

Seeing a person walk in, Mrs. Gao's face became a little stiff.Zhou looked over there, and saw a familiar person.

Mrs. Zhou lived under Jia Wang's hands for so many years, even though Mrs. Jia looked very old at this time, she could still tell at a glance.

Immediately, Mrs. Zhou corrected her sitting posture and tried her best to show her demeanor.

After doing this, Zhou realized what she had done. She smiled wryly and said to Mrs. Gao: "I originally thought that I am living a happy life now, but I don't have any hatred for the people in that mansion. It's just that , when I saw her, I realized that they did that at the beginning... I still have some obsessions, I just want to let them see the beauty of our mother and son."

"This is also human nature." Mrs. Gao comforted Zhou and said, "However, you don't have to do this now. Since you are already standing on a high place and are stable, those things are still in the past, so let them pass Well, you have to cherish the present happiness."

"You're right... I just, my heart, I can't calm down when I see her." Zhou shook her head.She has also begun to worship the Buddha now, and she still wears a string of Buddhist beads blessed by eminent monks in her hands. She can only lower her head, put her hands in her sleeves and slowly move the beads. It took a while for the expression on her face to calm down.

The Zhou family only noticed her own mood just now, and now she suddenly realized that Jia Zhu has only been gone for a few months. Although there is no reason for the elders to keep filial piety for the younger generation, the Gao family only added a new member a few months ago. , is the eldest grandson of the Gao family (grandson of Mrs. Gao), it seems unlucky for Wang Jia to come to the Gao family at this time, no wonder Mrs. Gao's face is also a little ugly.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Gao, a decent maid was whispering something in her ear, and Mrs. Gao's complexion became even uglier.

"What's the matter?" After the maid stepped back, Zhou asked with concern.

"I just remembered that I didn't invite the Rongguo Mansion. I thought it was a servant who did something wrong... It turned out that Madam Zhennanhou brought it here." Madam Gao said indignantly.

Princess Qingling's original status was somewhat superior. Even though she was married, when talking about her, she still used the title she used when she was in her natal family.But since the fall of the Marquis Mansion of the Western Jin Dynasty, the position of Princess Qingling has naturally disappeared. When talking about her, I can only say Mrs. Zhennanhou.

Although Mrs. Zhennanhou has two sons, the title of the eldest son needs to be granted. If the emperor does not agree, the title will not fall to her sons in the end.As for Marquis Zhennan, although he still has a son like Qin Shu, this promising son has already left the clan.As a result, the Zhennan Hou Mansion has reached this generation, and it has almost become a well-known secret.

Mrs. Zhennanhou has not had a good time these few years. Zhennanhou has been submissively controlled by her for so many years, but now he openly raises an actor.Mrs. Zhennan Hou had a few quarrels, but this time Zhennan Hou was determined to live with the actor. The Hou's mansion did not return, nor did his son, so he moved to live in a village in the outskirts.Mrs. Zhennan Hou probably also felt that her face was ugly, and now that she didn't have the support of her mother's family, she actually changed her ostentatious temperament and just watched her son and daughter live behind closed doors.Besides the two young masters born in the Zhennanhou Mansion, there is also a young lady who was born in the same age, who is now fourteen, but because of the current situation in the Zhennanhou Mansion, the marriage of this eldest lady is a bit difficult to say.Mrs. Zhennan Hou had to come out to socialize again.

For the wives in Mrs. Gao's circle, it can be said that her husband's official position is not low, so even if they don't like one thing, they still talk about good luck in everything.Since Mrs. Zhennan Hou voted well, she took advantage of the opportunity to give the invitation.However, I didn't expect that Mrs. Nanhou of Zhennan would dare to bring in the Jia Wang family from Rongguo Mansion?What's on her mind?

Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and it wasn't that she was thinking too much, but based on the identities of these two people, she always felt that these two people came after her.One is the wife of the master in front, and the other has a deep relationship with Qin Shu... Mrs. Zhou helped the pearl hairpin on her head, and thought to herself: What should come will always come, and she is not anyone who can pinch her now. First-hand soft buns.
