117. Chapter 117
Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang helped Jia Mu to sit down on the kang, and hurriedly wringed a hot handkerchief and wiped Jia Mu's face and hands. The mandarin duck stuffed a soup woman who had just been filled into the quilt, stuffed a few pieces of charcoal into the hand stove, and put the hand stove in Jia's mother's arms. Mrs. Wang ordered someone to pour boiling hot tea again, and Mother Jia took a sip of it before she felt more comfortable.
"What the hell is going on? Listen to me with your words! Why did you come to report the funeral alone? What about the people of the Shenjun Palace? Jia Mu asked with squinted eyes.
The mother-in-law glanced at Aunt Zhao who fell softly on the maid, thought about the girl's words, and asked her to say in front of Aunt Zhao, and said that she didn't believe in others, only believed in Aunt Zhao. The woman said ruthlessly: "We have all been deceived by the Shenjun Palace. When proposing, Shenjun Wangfu said that the third master was not in good health, but things were not like that at all. It turned out that the third master had been congenitally weak since he was a child, and he had never gotten out of bed for more than ten years, and he had always been the continuation of ginseng snow lotus. Last winter, the third master's health was very bad, and the imperial doctor said that it was likely that he would not survive this spring, so Princess Shenjun was in a hurry to find a family affair to rejoice for the third master. Somehow, I picked our girl! Poor three girls, and a rooster worshipped heaven and earth, only into the cave room became a new widow, what can I do in the future! As she spoke, the woman covered her face and began to cry.
After Aunt Zhao heard this, her tears were like spring water, and she couldn't stop flowing, but she also knew that Mother Jia was here, and she didn't have the right to speak.
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang sneered, "This is strange! How did the Shenjun Mansion know about the three girls in our family? Even the three girls' birthdays are clearly known, and what about the monks of Fahua Temple? ”
A trace of doubt flashed on Jia Zheng's face, he had also doubted these, but he only cared about joy at that time and forgot to ask. Mrs. Wang mentioned it again, and Jia Zhengcai remembered, yes, the three girls were raised in the deep boudoir, how did the Shenjun Wangfu know about her, and she went directly to the door to propose!
Aunt Zhao was shocked, she finally knew why her wife didn't say a word about this marriage from beginning to end, it turned out that she had known the problem for a long time, she didn't say a word, just watched coldly, and then looked down at herself from above, watching her pain after knowing the truth!
She lost, and she conceded! But what about the three girls?
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhao slipped down from the maid's arms, knelt on the ground, and cried: "It's all my foolish heart!" I wanted to find a better family affair for the third girl than the second girl, so when my brother inquired about the Shenjun Palace's choice of relatives for the third master, I asked my brother to buy off the master of Fahua Temple, and then quietly revealed the third girl's birthday to the housekeeper of the Shenjun Palace. That's why Princess Shenjun will take the initiative to come to the door to propose! It's all my fault, I'm confused, I'm squinted by wealth, I'm damned! But the three girls are innocent! Old lady, old man, wife, save the three girls! She is only fifteen years old, how can she bury her whole life like this, please, save the three girls! ”
Jia Zheng was a little moved, he was still a little sincere to Aunt Zhao, not to mention, Aunt Zhao had been with him for so many years, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and she served him properly. It's a pity that the three girls are there! He hesitated and said, "Old lady! ”
"She's a person who can't be on the stage, and you're confused? This family affair was the Shenjun Wangfu took the initiative to speak, you personally agreed, even the mother was rewarded, and the two of them even entered the cave room, it is said that the Shenjun Wangfu has reported the names of the three girls to the Zongren Mansion. Therefore, no matter whether the third aunt is alive or dead, the third girl is already a member of the Shenjun Palace! What's more, it is said in the book that women should start from the beginning. Since the three girls have worshiped heaven and earth with the third aunt, even if the third aunt dies at this time, the three girls should also share the festival for the third aunt. Do you want to save the three girls? How to save? Will you take her back to your house? Then how do you let the people of the world view my Jia family, and how do you let Niangniang gain a foothold in the palace? You forget, what did the mother use to make a concubine? Virtuous and filial piety! If you really take the three girls back, won't the word virtuous become a joke! The king of Shenjun is a clan, according to the rules, he is the king, you are the minister, how dare you open this mouth to the Shenjun Palace? Jia Mu's series of questions successfully made Jia Zheng shut up.
Aunt Zhao still looked at Jia Zheng pleadingly, in this family, the only one who could help her was Jia Zheng. But to her disappointment, Jia Zheng avoided her gaze. Aunt Zhao's heart sank to the bottom.
Mother Jia didn't even look at Aunt Zhao, and asked the mother-in-law, "How did you come here?" What about the people who reported the funeral in the Shenjun Palace? Does the palace know you're coming? ”
The mother-in-law didn't dare to look directly at Jia's mother, and Jia's mother knew, and she said sharply: "Don't you be honest, don't you think I can control your head now?" ”
The mother-in-law was bluffed and lay on the ground, "Back to the old lady, it seems that the Shenjun Mansion does not plan to report the funeral immediately, but just locked our girl and the maid in the house first, or Miss Cuimo looks wrong, let me come back immediately to report the news." I also sneaked out when people were unprepared. The people of the palace did not know about it. ”
Mrs. Wang muttered: "Old lady, no matter what reason the Shenjun Mansion did not report the funeral immediately, since the palace does not say it, we can only assume that we do not know." We can't let the palace question our family's rules. The third girl is also a little bolder, since she was able to cross me to set her own family, she knew to ask for help from home when something happened to her, but now we can't figure out what the situation is, so let's stand still for the time being! Wait for the people from the palace to come to report the funeral, let's discuss the matter of the three girls with the princess! ”
Jia Mu nodded, "What you said is very true. Then he looked at Jia Zheng, "Did you see it?" This is what a housewife should look like, if you respect the opinion of the second wife in this matter, why is it so? ”
Aunt Zhao covered her face at this time and said, "Since Mrs. knows, she should have reminded her in the first place!" ”
Jia Zheng also frowned, and looked at Mrs. Wang suspiciously, yes, all these years, she has been socializing outside, and it is impossible for her not to hear the slightest rumor about the affairs of the Shenjun Palace, since she knows that there is something wrong here, why didn't she say it earlier!
Xue Baochai's voice sounded at the right time, "Auntie's words are wrong. ”
While speaking, Xue Baochai had already walked in holding Ying'er's hand, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang saw her, their faces softened a lot, and Jia Mu said angrily: "On such a day, how can you walk outside?" Watch your body! ”
Xue Baochai first greeted Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, and then sat on the edge of the kang at the signal of Jia's mother, and said with a smile: "Auntie's words are wrong. At the beginning, the wife chose a marriage for the third sister, tried her best, considered a lot, and chose the candidates, but the third sister and the aunt were not satisfied. was even accused by the lord for this, saying that his wife harbored evil intentions. Amitofu, my wife is kind-hearted, the third sister doesn't appreciate it, and she still speculates about his wife's heart like this, let alone his wife, even when I heard it, my heart was cold. After the third sister's family affairs, the master didn't ask his wife's opinion, so he exchanged Geng posts first. Since the exchange of Geng posts, this marriage has become more than half, how dare you let your wife say it! What's more, what kind of family is the Shenjun Palace, their family has always been low-key, how can the third aunt's affairs be known to outsiders! Even if he knows a little bit, the third aunt has been weak since he was a child. Didn't the master already know about this when he was discussing marriage? At that time, my aunt also said, but I was weaker, so it didn't matter much. Even if my wife has the heart to mention it, but my aunt has said so, how do you let my wife say it? ”
Mrs. Wang looked at Baochai with satisfaction, nodded, and said to Jia's mother: "In the end, Baoyu's daughter-in-law knows my heart." In fact, the relatives I chose for the three girls were already good. Although that Xiucai said that his personal morality was damaged, his family background was not good, if the three girls really married into their family, their family would only hold the three girls! He has some real talent and learning, and if he wants to climb up, he can only be good to the three girls, and when the time comes, the master will bring one or two, and it is not impossible for the three girls to get a fate in the future! As long as the three girls have some means, this day will only get better and better! How do you know that the three girls are high-eyed and big-hearted, and they can't look down on this family. That's it, it's a big deal to see a few more. I don't know how the three girls said to the master, but I let the master blame me, saying that I harbored evil intentions and deliberately trapped the three girls in disadvantage! I really have nothing more to say! The three girls were hugged to me and raised by me when they were born, and later they were picked up by the old lady. I treat her no different from Yuanchun Baoyu. In this way, he was still accused of being unflattering inside and out. Old lady, you say, how dare I make irresponsible remarks about the three girls, isn't it in a hurry to be scolded? ”
Jia Mu patted her hand, "I know you." This matter has nothing to do with you, as the saying goes, heaven is evil, you can still do it, you can do it yourself, you can't live! This marriage was chosen by Aunt Zhao and the third girl themselves, so now the result is not to blame others. This matter is so decided, since the three girls have been married and their husbands are dead, they should keep the festival for their husbands! If the Shenjun Wangfu also means the same, then do it! It's getting late, Baoyu's daughter-in-law, go back and rest quickly! ”
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Baoyu's daughter-in-law might as well rest on my side, the province is running back and forth, and it is not good to freeze." If the old lady doesn't dislike it, let me rest here! ”
Jia Mu shook her head, "I'm warm there!" Then he looked at Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao, "For the sake of the three girls today, that's it." Next time, if you don't have rules and rules like this, I won't be able to spare you. ”
Jia Zheng's face was slightly red, yesterday was the third girl who got married, it stands to reason that he should rest in Mrs. Wang's room, but he couldn't stand Aunt Zhao's tears, so he rested in Aunt Zhao's house. Now that he was hit by Jia's mother, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
