115 Family Fun
Mrs. Wang can accept that Jia Baoyu will not go through the imperial examination and will not be an official in this life. With that stone, Jia Baoyu is destined to be a rich idler in his life.
Although she was very aggrieved, Mrs. Wang had to grit her teeth and admit it. It's a big deal, it's good for him to find a good wife for Jia Baoyu.
But Mrs. Wang can't accept that Jia Baoyu doesn't understand anything, can't accept that Jia Baoyu stays in the inner house all her life, and can't accept that Jia Baoyu will always be a doll who hasn't grown up.
In Mrs. Wang's opinion, Jia Baoyu is not an official, but can also be a well-known literati, but like Jia's mother, she has always raised Jia Baoyu in the inner house, this one does not teach Jia Baoyu, that one does not let Jia Baoyu learn, and let Jia Baoyu always be a child who will not grow up, which is a very dangerous thing.
After all, they are old.
Jia's mother is nearly eighty years old, whether it is Jia Zheng or Mrs. Wang, both of them are over fifty years old.
They are all old, but Jia Baoyu is only thirteen years old. No matter how tough his body is, how many years can he take care of Jia Baoyu? How many years can you protect Jia Baoyu?
The pain of the skin made Mrs. Wang extremely clear that she was a woman after all. Women are not shrewd enough to calculate, and they will suffer, let alone men. In a family, if the woman is useless and the man is very powerful, then the family will be very harmonious, on the contrary, in a family, if the man is useless, the woman is no matter how capable she is.
Now Mrs. Wang is extremely aware that his son Jia Baoyu can no longer be in such chaos, and if he continues like this, he will one day become a lamb under someone else's sword and axe. Not to mention keeping one's property, even one's life will be threatened.
In the hindrance of Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang did not discipline Jia Baoyu strictly. But this did not prevent him from making plans for Jia Baoyu in every possible way.
It's a pity that Jia Baoyu still doesn't have a powerful maternal uncle who can protect him. Mrs. Wang knew that her husband Jia Zheng was useless, and his daughter-in-law Li Kun was a cold-hearted person, and Jia Lan would be developed in the future, even if Jia Lan took care of Jia Baoyu out of morality and duty, he would be hindered by Li Kun. As for Jia Huan, let alone mention.
Today's Jia Baoyu. In addition to the future Yue family, only Jia Yu, an uncle who has been separated, and Jia Jiu, a cousin, can be relied on.
Mrs. Wang regretted it more than once.
I knew it was so. He obediently became his second wife, obediently nested in the inner house, didn't do those things, and wouldn't do anything to Jia Yu's family.
Mrs. Wang is very clear. His elder brother Wang Ziteng was indeed very favored before. The emperor trusts Wang Ziteng very much, but there is such a thing as a saint, ethereal, today the emperor can hold you in the palm of his hand, and tomorrow he may crush you into the dust. If the emperor needs to clean up his elder brother Wang Ziteng, no matter what day he wants, Wang Ziteng will be in prison, and even his sister-in-law and niece will not be able to be saved. So. After reflection, Mrs. Wang did not hate Jia Jiu. He knows. His elder brother is in a high position and has hindered the eyes of many people. Even if there is no Jia Jiu, there will be others who will denounce Wang Ziteng behind his back. Now, Wang Ziteng can still save his life and take the children back to the south, which is the best ending.
Now, apart from his grandmother and his parents, the only relatives Jia Baoyu can rely on are Jia Yu's family. Moreover, Mrs. Wang knows very well that because of the relationship between Zhang's, Jia Hu and the child in Zhang's womb, Jia Lian will not take care of Jia Baoyu, and even because of these three lives, it is already good that Jia Lian will not fall into the well after Jia Lian is in charge in the future.
If kneeling can eliminate this hatred, Mrs. Wang will definitely kneel down to Jia Lian and ask Jia Lian for forgiveness, but he knows that Jia Lian will never forgive him, let alone take care of his son, and it can even be said that in the future, Jia Lian chooses to stand by and watch, and he is already kind-hearted and tolerant.
On the contrary, it is Jia Jiu, he is strong enough, and there are many forces behind him, Daomen and Broken Island, no matter which one can make the court jealous, not to mention the relationship between him and Princess Changle.
Mrs. Wang thinks that she has a deep blood feud with Jia Lian, but she does not have so much hatred with Jia Jiu. Moreover, Jia Jiu is very soft-hearted, but he is very committed to making a big promise, as long as he nods, he will definitely take care of his son in the future.
This is the real reason why Mrs. Wang went to visit Jia Jiu.
Of course, when looking for a protective umbrella for Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Wang also hoped that Jia Baoyu could stand up by himself, and he didn't need to be very powerful or self-motivated, as long as he could know right and wrong, as long as he could not offend those who could help him, and keep himself away from danger.
That's what Madame Wang thought before. But now, Mrs. Wang is disappointed.
What he saw was that Jia Baoyu didn't even understand the minimum taboos. Of course, Mrs. Wang didn't think that her son was bad, and he thought that it was a few girls who attacked people to seduce her son, but at this moment, all his anger was directed at Shi Xiangyun.
"Okay, I gave up myself for Baoyu; The cheeky guy is going to tie up the second girl, but there are still people here who dismantle my platform and hook my son to go astray! ”
Mrs. Wang can't be angry with Jia's mother, but he can be angry with Shi Xiangyun.
Probably this is the mother.
Everyone knows that Jia Baoyu actually doesn't study well, but in Mrs. Wang's heart, her son is good, bad, it must be someone else's bad, if you insist that his son is not good, it must be someone else who has brought his son bad and let his son do bad things.
When it comes to rolling the sheets with the girls, Mrs. Wang thinks that all the responsibility lies with those girls, but Jia Baoyu's behavior of not reading and playing with her sisters and sisters every day, Mrs. Wang decided that it was not Jia Baoyu's fault, it must be the fault of the sisters and sisters who played with Jia Baoyu.
And this candidate is naturally Shi Xiangyun, who lives in Jia's mother's courtyard with Jia Baoyu, and sits on an equal footing with Jia Baoyu in front of Jia's mother.
In the original book, this candidate is Lin Daiyu.
It's really wronged.
In the original book, Lin Daiyu came to Jia's house, who didn't arrange a house for him and let him live under the same eaves with Jia Baoyu across a thin wooden board for several years? Who cares that Lin Daiyu is still in the filial piety period. Do you want Lin Daiyu to wear satin?
Now, Lin Daiyu got the help of Jia Yu and Jia Jiu and escaped. This charge naturally fell on Shi Xiangyun, who lived in Jia's mother's house like Jia Baoyu.
Shi Xiangyun didn't know Mrs. Wang's thoughts, let alone found that Mrs. Wang had hated him.
He was holding Jia's mother's arm and was coquettish: "Old lady, I can't bear the old lady." ”
Shi Xiangyun just followed his instinct to be coquettish with Jia's mother. But these words went to Jia Mu's heart. It's just that the matter is related to Jia Baoyu's future and Shi Xiangyun's reputation, and Jia's mother has to be careful.
Mother Jia hugged Shi Xiangyun and said, "Silly boy, which girl doesn't have a serious yard?" Look at your second sister. It's a big yard with five entrances! You have been wronged by coming to this house as a guest, and letting you squeeze together with me, an old woman, is already wronged by you, how can you continue to be wronged? It's my wife who can't stand you. ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "Old lady." What do you say? If you really want to talk about right and wrong, it should be the fault of the second sister. Who let the second sister take care of this matter? ”
When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately said, "That's exactly what happened." The second girl is really, not arranged early. It has to be delayed until now. Mandarin duck. If you go to sue the second girl, you will say, I will punish him for being a host. ”
The mandarin duck immediately smiled: "Old lady, how many people want to be this host." Where are you punishing the second girl! You're giving the second girl decency. ”
Jia Mu immediately laughed.
Seeing this, Jia Baoyu lowered his head more and more, wilting.
Who would have thought that not long after the mandarin duck went, Jia Jiu actually came in person. Not only did he come, but he also brought Jia Qian and Jia Qing sisters.
Jia Jiu came in and saluted Mrs. Jia Muwang first. Then he met Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun, after the ceremony, took a seat, and listened to him: "Old lady, my granddaughter has been thinking about it in private for many days, and now that we are all older, we will live a day less than today." The granddaughter also thought, find a good life, everyone have a good time. I just don't know what the old lady has ideas, everyone is happy together, and the granddaughter also has a long experience. ”
Mother Jia pointed at Jia Jiu and said to Mrs. Wang: "Look at it, you have grown up." The second girl, who was like a wooden person at the beginning, is now sweet-mouthed. ”
Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "That's the old lady is well trained." ”
Jia Mu shook her head and said, "Where is my credit, his father's credit, and his own struggle." If it weren't for his father's promotion to the title, if he hadn't won the eyes of Princess Changle, he wouldn't have this dignity, and he would not have been taught by four aunts from the palace. ”
Saying that, Jia Mu paused, and said, "Well, Lin Yatou is guarding filial piety, let's not alarm him." In this way, in the big flower hall at the back, the whole family gathers together, and it is over. ”
Regardless of whether the current Jia Mu has the intention to pair Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu, he must take into account Jia Yu and Jia Jiu's feelings. In order to ensure that Jia Baoyu would not offend Lin Daiyu, Jia Jiu made such a big fuss, and even Mrs. Wang became a pawn in his hand, of course Jia Jiu would not be willing to say anything at this time to put the banquet in the back garden. Horizontally and vertically, his Rongqing Hall is also big enough, and it is also large enough to accommodate his sons and grandchildren.
When Jia Jiu heard Jia's mother say this, she smiled: "Since the old lady ordered it so, then the granddaughter arranged it like this." It's just that the granddaughter has never arranged such a big banquet, I'm afraid it is not thorough. Why don't you ask your aunt to be the leader in front and let your granddaughter learn with you? ”
In this cheating world, girls learn housekeeping, but they can't meddle in the housekeeper's affairs by themselves, which is the business of married wives and grandmothers. Like Jia Jiu, he can only take care of the affairs of his own yard, and Jia Qian and Jia Qing's sisters can only take care of the back garden at most. Because the back garden is where their sisters live.
Jia Jiu entered the ancestral hall because Mrs. Xing was lying in the house, and Jia Lian had not yet married. So he has the right to do things, but this doesn't mean that he can take care of the affairs of this kind of banquet, let alone put his hand into Jia's mother's courtyard.
Of course, this is because he is lazy and doesn't want to do much, but more importantly, he has to do it because of the rules.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was very happy.
He didn't know the real reason why Jia Jiu refused to host this kind of banquet, and he didn't want to know the reason for this, he just knew that Jia Jiu resigned and recommended him.
In Mrs. Wang's opinion, this is Jia Jiu making a face for him, and it is also for him to officially stand in front of everyone again.
Although there are many things to do to organize a banquet, and there is a lot of oil and water, no amount of money is as important as intangible prestige and influence. What Mrs. Wang needs most is influence. He originally thought that his daughter Jia Yuanchun had become the imperial concubine, so he should follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven and rise to the top. But the fact is that even though most of the provincial villas in the suburbs of Beijing have been built, there are still people in this mansion who don't take him seriously, and there are still people whispering behind his back, saying that he is not.
"Second girl, you're lazy again."
Mother Jia pretended to be a slave, but when she saw Mrs. Wang's eager appearance, she couldn't help but sigh slightly: "That's it, you said so, where did the old lady not follow?" Then he instructed Mrs. Wang, "Do it well." After the promotion of this beating mother, this year, the family has been busy, and we haven't had fun for a long time, so it's time to get together. ”
Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun on the side were playing, and they immediately made a mess happily again, but it was Tanchun, he glanced at Jia Jiu, lowered his head again, and didn't speak.
Tanchun is a heart.
Since Mrs. Wang has the intention of expressing herself well, she is naturally full of energy. The mandarin duck took out five hundred taels of silver, he felt that it was not enough, and asked Aunt Xue for one thousand five hundred taels, which was made up of two thousand taels, and said: "In previous years, this kind of thing was rarely said in the house, and it was necessary to pay three or four thousand silver." Now I've only got half of it, but I'm going to have to work hard. ”
But Aunt Xue was so angry that she told Xue Baochai when she came back.
Aunt Xue originally thought that her daughter would persuade herself to stay away from Mrs. Wang as usual, but she didn't want to, Xue Baochai gritted her teeth and said, "Mom, since Aunt said so, why don't we take over the matter." In fact, there are precedents for this kind of thing, as long as we do things according to the rules, we don't need to put much effort into it. Besides, my aunt told my mother that it was only because my aunt was short of money that she came to our house. We will do as my aunt wants. ”
Aunt Xue was very strange: "Good boy, what's wrong with you?" Before, you wouldn't have said that. ”
Xue Baochai gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Mom, my daughter finally understands Mom's worries. Mom, don't worry, your daughter will be fine. ”
This was said in a headless and thoughtless manner, which made Aunt Xue's heart tremble, but Xue Baochai didn't want to say more, so he could only stop the idea of asking. (To be continued......)
