Chapter 57 Jia's mother's indignation
Since Jia Lian took Jia's mother's letter to Yangzhou for the funeral, Jia's mother **** counted Jia Lian's itinerary. This is the treatment that Jia Lian has never had since his birth. It's a pity that Jia Lian doesn't know, if he does...... I don't know what Jia Lian should think in his heart.
Two months have passed, and Jia's mother still hasn't received Jia Lian's reply, so she is a little anxious. It just so happened that on this day, Mother Jia was talking to the mandarin duck about this matter, and everyone hurriedly came with a smile on their faces: "The old lady Jinling has a letter." ”
Mrs. Jia wondered in her heart, what happened to Jinling? , but still smiled and accepted the letter. Who knows if it is a letter from the old lady Zhen of the Zhen family in Jinling, or a thick dozen pages. I know that things are not small. So I didn't have the heart to worry about Jia Lian's side.
After only reading two pages, Mrs. Jia looked serious and sent everyone out of the room, including the most trusted Lai family's and Mandarin Duck and others.
The content of the letter really surprised Mrs. Jia at first, but when she looked down, she felt that it made sense. After reading the letter, Mrs. Jia frowned and thought about it.
To be honest, Mrs. Jia had expected that the Zhen family would stand in line, but she didn't expect it to be the prince. But thinking that the Empress Yuan was gone, and Concubine Zhen was gone, it was clear again. But when it comes to siding with the prince...... Mrs. Jia's brows couldn't help but tighten again.
The crown prince was born after the Yuan Dynasty, with a noble status and a strong maternal family. However, the great prince has remarkable military achievements, great military achievements, and holds military power. Especially the two wastes and two sides of the saint, so that Mrs. Jia can't pay attention to it. For a while, Mrs. Jia didn't know how to choose and hesitated.
Thinking that now that Min'er is gone, the relationship with Lin Ruhai will be a little precarious, if they can stand in line together. In one camp, this relationship will undoubtedly strengthen a lot......
Mrs. Jia hesitated for a while. But after thinking about it again, Mrs. Jia still wrote back to Mrs. Zhen. explained that he would persuade Lin Ruhai to be loyal to His Highness with him, and so on.
Mrs. Jia wanted to come, and now Min'er is gone. It is not easy for Lin Ruhai to refuse when he speaks by himself. So he personally wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai and asked him to send it quickly.
Mrs. Jia had a very good idea in her heart, and even this kind of standing in line, she didn't discuss it with anyone in the family, so she decided it alone. It was only later when the second wife came to give her something that she casually mentioned the matter.
In her opinion, Yuan Chun entered the Four Princes' Mansion, but the Four Princes are not elders and have no strong maternal family, but fortunately, now the Four Princes are only in charge of the household and do not participate in the battle for the storage position. If your own family stands in line with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince early, His Royal Highness will reward him with the dragon's merits in the future. Yuan Chun also has more say in the Four Princes' Mansion, and he can't say that there is a position of side concubine.
When the second wife heard that she had taken refuge with the prince, she thought that Yuan Chun was in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and she was a little reluctant in her heart. But I listened to what Mrs. Jia said, the four princes will not fight for the throne, and the crown prince will succeed to the throne in the future, and Yuan Chun can also benefit from the dragon's work in the family, and his Royal Highness the prince will also have to take care of Baoyu at that time.
Mrs. Jia is still calculating, even if the four princes want to fight for the throne in the future, our family has Yuan Chun, the pillow of the four princes. I'm not afraid of anything. Baoyu is Yuan Chun's younger brother after all, Yuan Chun will not ignore him, Baoyu is good, will it be worse in our house? Baoyu is a blessed ...... Wait a minute.
The second wife thought about Mrs. Jia's words. At this moment, it was an excellent time to stand in line, so he said with a compliment: "Is the daughter-in-law less knowledgeable, or the old lady is thoughtful." Mrs. Jia saw her say this. He also nodded with a smile on his face and said, "This is not trivial, you know it in your heart." Just look at tell your master, no one else can say. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Jia looked at the second lady with a very serious face and said again: "Can you remember?" Although the second wife was dissatisfied with Mrs. Jia's attitude. But he also knew that this was related to the future of his son Baoyu and the fate of his daughter Yuanchun.
I thought that they were both blessed, and their lives were excellent, and they were greatly edified. immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, the old lady can rest assured, this idea is serious, and the daughter-in-law still understands it." Seeing this, Mrs. Jia laughed.
I don't know how Mrs. Jia thought of Jia Lian again, thinking that if Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng got married, then Wang Ziteng could be pulled into the team, and the prince Teng had military power in his hands, and the prince would be very satisfied. In the future, it will also be one of the dependencies of the crown prince and the eldest prince.
Wang Ziteng never thought that when he was calculating Jia Lian, Mrs. Jia was already calculating him, if he knew that he would cry or laugh?
Mrs. Jia felt that Lin Ruhai, who was in charge of the money bag, was brought in by the Jia family, and the prince Teng, who was in charge of the military power, was also related to the Jia family, and I believe that the prince would understand it, and he would take care of the Jia family and Baoyu even more in the future. In this way, Daiyu also has a life, after all, her relationship with Jia Lian is indeed very good.
I also thought that it would be better if Jia Lian could start from Wuna, and in the future, with Baoyu and the two of them, the Jia family would have another hundred years of prosperity! It's a pity that Jia Lian chose the road of literature, if Baoyu is allowed to follow the martial arts, Mrs. Jia is reluctant to let him suffer that hardship. In Mrs. Jia's opinion, Baoyu has great creation, how can she suffer such hardships?
Moreover, the four princes who are in charge of the household department, and there is a Yuan Chun of the Jia family by his side. If the prince gains power, Yuan Chun will inevitably gain power. Yuan Chun will definitely persuade the four princes to attach themselves to the crown prince. In this way, the Jia family will be more important in the eyes of the prince.
Mrs. Jia never thought about the so-called battle for storage positions, where is it so smooth sailing? If you are not careful, you will be guilty! All she thinks about now is what will happen if she succeeds, but she has never thought about what she will do if she fails. Of course, she didn't even think about whether Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng listened to her dispatch.
I have to say that Mrs. Jia's wisdom seems to have been consumed too much between the passage of time and the battle in the inner house, and she takes it for granted that she doesn't know if she will have a chance to redeem it in the future. I don't know what kind of wind and rain this will bring to the Jia Mansion that she has guarded all her life, and how it will affect her children and grandchildren, and whether the children and grandchildren will be able to turn the tide?
Mrs. Jia thought everything well and began to arrange the action steps one by one. I just don't know if something will go wrong in the middle.
Mrs. Jia thought clearly, the first step was to arrange for Lin Ruhai to join the prince's door with her, she was already doing this, and she believed that there would be nothing wrong with this step. Then the second step is for Jia Lian and the Wang family to kiss again. In the future, he will win over Wang Ziteng to join the prince.
After thinking about it, Mrs. Jia said to the second wife: "It's hard for you to find a time, go back and ask your sister-in-law." Can Xifeng's girl wait? This Lian'er is only a small achievement, and now a third of it has passed. The second wife listened. understood that Mrs. Jia did not give up marrying the Wang family again.
The second wife thought that Xifeng married in, it was her own niece and nephew, who would dare to take Qiao with her in the Jia family in the future? Lowering her head and quietly glancing at Mrs. Jia, the second lady smiled and said, "Look at what the old lady said, it's just to ask her daughter-in-law to ask a question, where is it hard?" Hearing her say this, Mrs. Jia nodded and said, "I know you're busy, so go by yourself." ”
Taking advantage of the New Year's Festival, the second wife quickly picked a day to return to her parents' house, and it was still sunny when she went. By noon, it had snowed heavily. The second wife also stayed at her mother's house until the evening. Although the weather was bad, when the second wife came back, her face was full of joy. I didn't even change my makeup, so I went to Mrs. Jia's house.
When Mrs. Jia saw her come in with a smile on her face, she knew that it was done. smiled and said a few words to her, and praised her for her hard work for her nephew, so he asked her to go back to rest, and she didn't have to wait for dinner. Listening to the fact that there is no need to serve Mrs. Jia's dinner, the second wife is of course even more happy. And he went away again with joy.
mentioned Jia Lian just now, Mrs. Jia was actually in a very bad mood. At this time, Jia Lian has not sent a letter yet, let alone sent his own granddaughter Daiyu to Beijing!
And this year's Lin family's New Year's gift has not yet arrived. Although Mrs. Jia guessed that she might have been negligent when she was busy with Jia Min's funeral. And the Lin family doesn't have anyone in charge of the inner house now. But in the end, the heart is unhappy.
Until more than ten days passed, Mrs. Jia did not wait for Daiyu or a letter. The second wife said back and forth that her maiden sister, Mrs. Xue, had brought her nephews and nieces to the capital to see her. I want to clean up the pear fragrance garden near Rongxi Hall and come out for my sister to live.
Although Mrs. Jia responded in her heart, she was not easy to show. He nodded a little reluctantly and said, "That's very good." ”
The second wife left happily, but Mrs. Jia was a little crooked on the Luohan bed. Unhappiness was written all over his face.
Amber ran in happily. smiled: "The old lady has made you look forward to it!" After speaking, he took out the letter in his hand and continued: "It is difficult to walk on the road in the cold weather, so it is here at this time." ”
Mother Jia took it and saw that it was a letter from Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai. There was a smile on his face, thinking that Daiyu might be on the way. Then when he took the letter, he glared at Amber with a smile, and scolded with a smile: "You little hoof, you are becoming more and more arrogant. If you get the letter, don't you hurry up and give it to me? Go and find my tortoiseshell mirror. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the mandarin duck had already come out with her tortoiseshell glasses, and said with a smile: "I know that the old lady remembers Miss Lin, didn't the slave quickly bring it to the old lady?" After speaking, he put it on for Mrs. Jia. Seeing that Jia's mother was full of smiles, Mandarin Duck and Amber also pursed their lips and laughed beside them.
Mrs. Jia looked at the two letters in her hand, and opened Lin Ruhai's one first, thinking that Lin Ruhai, the son-in-law, would not refute her intentions. This letter came so quickly, the prince's business must have been done. Unexpectedly, after opening the thin letter and looking at it twice, Mrs. Jia frowned, her eyes were very sharp.
It turned out that Lin Ruhai didn't mention allegiance to the prince at all in the letter, completely as if he hadn't received the letter, or as if he hadn't seen the paragraphs he wrote. only talked about Jia Min's funeral in detail in the letter, and said that because there was no family temple or anything, he stopped in Guiyuan Temple, and said that Daiyu was not in good health, how sad and sad, etc.
Mrs. Jia took a deep breath, thinking that as long as Daiyu arrived, this matter would not be avoided by you Lin Ruhai.
Although at this time, Mrs. Jia was also worried about whether Lin Ruhai would agree to Daiyu to enter Beijing. But thinking that the Lin family has long since lost a close branch of relatives, and there is no female elder in the house, I think that it is for the sake of my daughter's future and will not refuse the upbringing of my own grandmother. Then I settled down.
Mother Jia took Jia Lian's letter, although she was sure that Lin Ruhai would not refuse her, but she also hesitated for a long time with an uncertain expression before taking a deep breath and opening the letter.
Seeing that Mrs. Jia's face had lost the joy she had seen earlier, the mandarin duck and Amber were also worried in their hearts, and they didn't know what had happened. Seeing Mrs. Jia opening Jia Lian's letter so carefully, she was also suspicious in her heart.
Sure enough, Mrs. Jia opened Jia Lian's letter and read only half of it, and then her face changed, her face was gloomy and angry, and those were the expressions that Mandarin Duck and Amber rarely saw on Mrs. Jia's face. The two couldn't help but feel nervous, but they also knew that they couldn't bother at this time, so they stood quietly aside. In fact, if they had a choice, they would rather escape.
When Mrs. Jia finished reading Jia Lian's letter, she sighed deeply, and Jia Lian also described Jia Min's funeral in detail in the letter, saying that Lin Ruhai asked her to send Daiyu to Beijing, but Daiyu said that she wanted to keep filial piety for Jia Min, and Fu Ling returned to Gusu.
When Mrs. Jia saw this, she actually couldn't tell the joy and sorrow in her heart, after all, Jia Min was her daughter who had loved her for many years. The granddaughter is filial and willing to keep filial piety for her, and Mrs. Jia is happy in her heart, but when she thinks of His Royal Highness the Prince, she sighs when she thinks of her own plans.
When Jia Lian said in the letter that she also wanted to study with Mr. Huang Jiyun for another year or two to participate in the Autumn Festival, Mrs. Jia felt even more complicated and helpless in her heart. Of course, I felt that Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai didn't listen to their own arrangements, and they were resentful in their hearts.
At the end of the letter, it was also mentioned that when Jia Lian first arrived in Yangzhou, he met the old man of the Zhen family in Jinling - Zhen Yingjia and so on in the Lin Mansion.
But Mrs. Jia had to think that her second son, who was filial, sensible and motivated, was still a member of the Ministry of Labor for more than ten years. And the eldest son, who wanted to suppress, was promoted to a member of the Ministry of Rites when he started writing at the beginning of the year.
In addition to helplessness in Jia's mother at this time, there was more resentment and injustice. For a while, the entire Jia Mansion was shrouded in low air pressure because of Mrs. Jia's emotions. (To be continued.) )
