Accumulate Wealth in Life

Red House (51)

Jia Mu and Jia Zheng sat opposite each other, their faces were not good. The mother and son both knew why this happened today. However, Mother Jia never thought that such a trivial matter would make Lin Ruhai so angry. I don't care about the lady's face at all. If it is said to be relegated, it is relegated, and it is relegated to the end. From the seventh rank, and further down, it is a low-ranking clerk. The threshold of their Jia family, and the low-ranking officials are not qualified to enter the door. Now, how can they be reduced to this level.

"Let's not be in a hurry to take office." Mother Jia patted the soft pillow beside her, and said with a pale face, "I will go to see Nan'an Taifei tomorrow, and let's beg the Taifei."

Jia Zheng is not as optimistic as Jia's mother, but sees the crisis from this incident. Lin Ruhai didn't care about the empress's face, it wasn't that Lin Ruhai acted recklessly, but the empress's face in the eyes of others, there was no need to worry at all. In other words, in the palace, Niangniang has no face at all.

Empress, it seems that she can't bring any shelter to the family. Except for those small families and people with ulterior motives, I'm afraid no one really cares about the Jia family.

He whispered: "Old lady, you don't have to force it. My son hasn't been out of the capital for many years, so this time I just went out to have a look. Although it's a seventh-rank official position, it's still a real job. It's better than this one. It is much better to have a virtual position. If you do well in office, you may not have the opportunity to be promoted. It’s just that the son is far away and can’t serve under the knee of the old lady.

Mother Jia's tears followed. The events of the past two days only made her feel that today is really not as good as in the past, and cried: "I think when your father was alive, how could our family ever suffer such grievances. Back then, your father looked at Lin Ruhai well, and Baba married Min'er to him. .But what happened. My poor girl died long ago, and now...people turn their faces and don't recognize people..."

"Old lady!" Jia Zheng stopped, "I must never say this again."

After all, his father did not misunderstand Lin Ruhai. He did have the ability, and now he has become the most expensive one. My brother-in-law, if he follows the official rules, is not qualified to speak in front of others. Moreover, the Lin family had indeed given them a lot in those years. The old lady said these words, can't take it out and say it again. It is even more impossible to blame Lin Ruhai for his younger sister's premature death. Only the children of the Lin family were left out, and the younger sister couldn't get rid of it. What more can be said.

Mother Jia glared: "You are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him. I have to ask him whether he recognizes my mother-in-law or not."

Jia Zheng only felt bitterness in his mouth. People have done things so clearly, what is there to ask. So I persuaded: "In the future, we will rely on others a lot, especially the empress in the palace. Now, only we rely on others, no one depends on our reasoning. As long as the old lady has a close relationship with her brother-in-law, the empress has The uncle of the prime minister, even the empress, also has to give some face." He persuaded: "Anyway, no matter what the reason is, the old lady must not provoke the Lin family for the sake of Baoyu's evil. The niece has a good future, and she can also Help us two points. It's just that the son will not be able to come back when he leaves. Baoyu's affairs are only left to the old lady. The girl of the Xue family, if the old lady is not satisfied, we will look at other families. the same."

Mother Jia sighed: "I'm not just for Baoyu, I don't feel bad for Daiyu. That child's temperament may not be good when he arrives at someone else's house. If I didn't see her really getting along with Baoyu, where would I be? He would just push the two of them together. It’s fine for Yun girl to look at Baoyu, but I’m not blind, so I can tell if it’s really good. Only the girl from the Xue family, that child can’t really treat Baoyu well. Yes, I can see this too. It's not that there is no way, that mother and daughter will not choose Baoyu. I can't see them wanting to take advantage of our family's light, and at the same time look down on our family. If she is If you treat Baoyu sincerely, I like it in my heart. I don't think that Baoyu is inferior to others, and that it is not good. No matter what I do, I will never stop your wife from making this marriage. My own grandson, of course Thousands of love and love. How can others be disgusted in their hearts."

Jia Zheng sighed in his heart, but did not refute Jia's mother. But there is still some disagreement in my heart. When a woman becomes a pro, she can only live in peace, what else can she do. Anything that dislikes or dislikes is false. In the first half of the year, all the dislikes are gone. But you can't tell the old lady about this.

Of course it's good to have a good marriage, if not, the Xue family can do it.

The mother and son exchanged knowledge with each other, and Mother Jia insisted on visiting Concubine Nan'an. Jia Zheng didn't have any extravagant hopes in his heart. Even if his grade remained unchanged, being able to directly serve as county magistrate would be much better than being a county magistrate.

The next day, Mother Jia rarely went out, and she went to the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion.

The old concubine Nan'an was not older than Jia's mother, and she smiled very politely when she saw Jia's mother. Of course she knew what Mother Jia's intention was, and the two chatted a few times before they got down to business. However, the condition put forward by the old princess this time made Jia Mu suddenly change color.

"Old lady, you should know it in your heart. There is no female support in this family, so it's not easy to communicate with each other. Master Lin is not too old, your daughter has been here for many years. The niece of my mother's family has nothing to say about her personality and appearance. It is also a perfect match for Lord Lin." Princess Nanan looked at Jia Mu and said, "Now, there are no elders on Lord Lin. It's just you. A mother-in-law can be regarded as a serious elder. Moreover, it is not uncommon for the natal family of the first lady to choose a successor for her son-in-law. The Jia family does not have a girl of suitable seniority. "

How could Mother Jia want to ask Lin Ruhai to continue the string? If the string is not continued, the Jia family is Lin Ruhai's only Yue family. But if there is a new wife, the Jia family is nothing. If Jia Min gave birth to a son, it would be fine. There is only one daughter, Daiyu. I am afraid that when Daiyu gets married, the two sides will stop communicating. It doesn't do any good for my family. Lin Ruhai is now noble as Zaifu, only in his forties. Whether there is a direct son or not, I really want to talk about it, who does not know that this is a good marriage. The girl's house is the first-class Mrs. Gao Ming, who is hard to find even with a lantern.

She didn't answer right away, she just found it difficult to decide. Concubine Nan'an didn't force her, she just said, if this is done first, Jia Zheng's affairs will be easy to handle. Therefore, when Mother Jia came back, she was still in a trance.

Yuanyang was with the old lady at the time. Seeing the old lady like this, she couldn't help but ask, "Does the old lady really want to agree?" If he could persuade Mr. Lin Gu, the second master would not have this happened. Saying it is in vain.

"The old concubine has spoken. Whether you want it or not, you have to ask." Jia Mu leaned on the couch and said, "Of course I don't want to. Now, the Lin family doesn't kiss us. With the involvement of others, it will only go further with us. Besides, this is also for Daiyu's good. Without her stepmother, her life is better than others. The eldest girl of the Lin family, and Brother Yang. Let's To tell the truth behind closed doors, there is nothing to choose from. I am also a little sincere towards Daiyu. But this is going to marry a young man and have a second son. Who knows what it will be like in the future. If we know the root of this candidate It’s okay to be a girl from someone else. But it’s the maiden family of the old concubine. Can we handle it? So, I thought about it, it’s not easy to handle.”

Yuanyang nodded and said: "I don't know how to say anything else, I only know that Master Lin is very worried about the girls and young masters of the Lin family. If you think about it, you may not agree. Besides, the eldest girl of the Lin family is not. It's so easy to talk. I looked at it with a cold eye. It is the big girl who decides the big and small affairs of the Lin family. If the old princess wants this to happen, I am afraid she has to pass the big girl's test first. The young master of the Lin family The relationship with the eldest girl is dependent on each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the one who pulls the big one. How can you be willing to give the Lin family's property to others in the end. If you have a direct son, the eldest son can..."

"You're right." Mother Jia nodded reassuringly, "They say that I love you on weekdays, how can you not be hurt by someone like you." As she spoke, she had an idea in her heart.

Without discussing it with anyone, I got up early the next morning and went to Lin's house.

Now that it was cold, Lin Yutong asked someone to set the earth dragon in the house on fire early. I was just going to listen to Doctor Su's lecture with Lin Daiyu. A report came from outside, saying that it was Mother Jia.

There was no post, and no one was sent to say hello beforehand, so it came so suddenly. Calling Lin Yutong a little confused for a while. Could it be for Jia Zheng's business, then it's better not to let Sister Lin know about it. With a guess in my heart, I quickly got up and went out with the girl. In the end, it is the elders, and the courtesy on the face is still necessary. Mother Jia felt a little more comfortable when she saw Lin Yutong came out to greet her.

He politely introduced the person into the hall, and Lin Yutong personally served tea.

Mother Jia looked at the tea cup at the table and said, "I don't drink Lu'an tea."

Lin Yutong paused, this is really familiar. She can't help but scream. But in the end, he held back a smile and said, "I know, I heard it from my sister. This is Lao Junmei."

The curvature of the corners of Mother Jia's mouth softened significantly, and she slowly picked up the teacup.

Lin Yutong did not study tea. Lu'an tea tastes more bitter, while Laojunmei has a light taste and a sweet aftertaste. I want to come to the old lady to live in a blessing nest all her life, and she can't bear the slightest bit of hardship.

After so much slander, seeing Mother Jia put down the tea cup, she smiled and said, "Why did the old lady come here in person. If it's cold today, if something happens, just ask the people below to spread the word."

Mother Jia didn't answer, just smiled and said, "Why is Daiyu missing?"

"My father invited a husband for my sister, and now is the time for class." Lin Yutong explained, but did not mean to call Lin Daiyu over.

Mother Jia said, "Families like us have all kinds of wealth and honor. The sons and fathers don't point to studying to earn a future, let alone a girl's family. It should be looser, and it is more and more called the discipline to teach without any spirituality."

Lin Yutong said in his heart that they were brought up according to your method, wouldn't it mean that there was another Shi Xiangyun. There was only one incident, and the old lady didn't say that she learned lessons from her experience, and used her rhetoric to fool people. If you don't point to his background in the imperial examination, then why does Jia Zhu still go to the imperial examination. This is obviously a seedling who doesn't read at home. If he can't eat grapes, he says that the grapes are sour.

What's more, what is our family not our family's. The Jia family is the Jia family, and the Lin family is the Lin family. The old lady of your Jia family should not even try to point fingers at the Lin family.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't say to call Lin Daiyu over, nor should she agree with Jia's mother's words, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Yuanyang answered: "Before going out, the second grandmother asked me to say hello to the girl. The second grandmother is too heavy now and it is not convenient to go out. She said that the girl will be asked to talk to her another day."

Of course Lin Yutong knew that this was not what Wang Xifeng said. The two sent people to pass the news every three to five, where they really needed others to pass the word. Lin Yutong felt that his feelings were a bit complicated for this girl. Among the many girls in the Jia family, she is a rare person who does not have the so-called self-motivation. But remembering the original novel, it was Yuanyang's selfishness, hiding Lin Daiyu's illness, and making Lin Daiyu die in despair and desolation. Can not help but feel a little cold. If there is such a loyal person by my side, to be honest, I would not dare to use it. The Jia family girl, no matter how big or small, seems to have a problem, that is, she uses her so-called loyalty to make up her mind for her master. The purple cuckoo beside Lin Daiyu used to be like this. Ping'er beside Wang Xifeng is like this. This is the case with the attackers around Jia Baoyu. The mandarin duck beside Jia Mu is even more so.

Lin Daiyu smiled, but she didn't let the mandarin ducks get off the stage, so she answered, "Second sister-in-law needs to be taken care of now. When my brother is born, I won't be able to say much." Then she turned to Mother Jia and said, "You have to get old again. A great-grandson, it should be gratifying."

This is a good word. When the descendants are prosperous, people look forward to it. Mother Jia smiled and said, "I'll borrow your auspicious words." She now knows more and more about Lin Yutong's temper. Anyone who fools this girl as a child will suffer. So he asked implicitly: "You have to take care of everything in this house. Good boy, it's really hard for you."

Lin Yutong didn't know what Mother Jia's intention was, so he smiled and said, "Our family has a simple population, so it's natural that there are fewer people. With a simple population, things are naturally not as complicated as those in your house. It's easy to handle."

Mother Jia nodded, "You are a humble child, and you take care of it very well just for the relationship between people."

"It's all the old people in the house taking care of it, but it's just doing things according to the rules. How can I deserve the praise of the old lady." Lin Yutong got up and continued to serve Jia Mu. Slowly listen to her ramble.

Seeing the girl answer right, Mother Jia didn't leave any words to say further. I can't help but feel anxious. He said, "If your mother was fine, she wouldn't have to work so hard for you."

How to answer this. Lin Yutong snorted twice, thinking to himself, if Jia Min was fine, he would even take his younger brother to run a pickle workshop outside Yangzhou. What does Mother Jia mean by this now? So looking at Jia's mother's eyes, she became more and more puzzled.

Mother Jia also seemed to realize that Jia Min was not a smart move in front of Lin Yutong. Then he continued: "There is no woman in charge at home, and on many occasions you are a girl, and it is not easy to come forward to socialize."

Lin Yutong understood what Mother Jia meant. So he asked tentatively: "What about the old lady Yi? There are a few elders in the clan, and they are now in Suzhou. According to the old lady's opinion, it is better to ask people from the clan to help."

As soon as she choked, she said, "There are many people who are right and wrong. How can I invite outsiders." Seeing that Lin Yutong didn't mention it herself, Jia's mother had to say: "I saw Nan'an Concubine yesterday." Glancing at Lin Yutong, there was a hint of self-satisfaction in his eyes.

Lin Yutong said in his heart that the Prince of Nan'an is just a piece of shit, what the **** are you proud of. Just an old lady. So he said: "Is it possible that the concubine called the old lady to ask my father, and asked my father to say a few words for the King of Nan'an County in front of the emperor. This is absolutely impossible. The king of Nan'an County has committed too much this time, and my father will never do it. won't interfere."

Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat, the Prince of Nan'an had committed a crime. Why didn't the family know. She couldn't help but look up at Yuanyang, and when she saw Yuanyang, she shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of it. So he suppressed the panic in his heart and said, "I have never heard of this. What is it?"

Lin Yutong didn't want her to speak out, so she said, "Don't you know? Nan'an Concubine didn't tell the old lady." After she finished speaking in disbelief, she understood again: "Yes. This is too shameful. No one I'm sorry to take the initiative to mention it." Then she sighed again: "This Nan'an County King actually sold more than half of the military ration that was sent to the south. I don't know why. Then I mixed the rest of the food with sand and soil. Shizi. You said that your heart is not dark. Even if he replaces it with old food. Anyway, people can eat it. Because of this military ration, the camp almost exploded in the south. It made the emperor angry. If you want to make friends, you promise to do something with his family. Lest people think that your house is also involved in this matter, and then take a share of the pie. It would be bad to cause trouble for the empress in the palace. "

The matter of the Nan'an County King was told by Wen Tianfang. She heard her brother say this. In a few days, I still don't know if there is any Nan'an County Palace.

Mother Jia was stunned immediately. She really doesn't know what's going on here. Fortunately, I didn't say it today. Otherwise, you shouldn't think that your family is harming the Lin family. She didn't sit for long and got up to say goodbye.

She remembered that what Concubine Nan'an had mentioned was definitely not going to happen. But it can't be done here, isn't there anyone else who thinks about telling Lin Ruhai that they can't marry. Her mind couldn't help but move again. Originally, I disagreed, because I was afraid that the Lin family and the Jia family would become estranged. But if this newcomer is close to his own family, then of course it is another matter. Why don't you agree with it.
