Chapter 373: Jin Hai is a hard-working person
After Master Jing returned to Beijing from the Taoist temple, he supplemented the adjustment of the family rules of Ning Rongjia's family several times in just two years.
Eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling, smoking, gambling and smoking hibiscus ointment are second only to the ten major evils of anti-bone infidelity, disobedience and unfilial piety, and running away in fear of war.
The rules of the Jia clan are now almost copied from military law, Jia Rui was escorted to the ancestral hall by his own soldiers, and was directly hung by Master Jing on the crooked neck tree in front of the ancestral hall, and was whipped a full thirty lashes.
Then he asked Jia Rui, who had fainted, to be carried home and brought in a doctor to treat him carefully. It's not that Master Jing has become lenient, but when Jia Rui is better, he will continue to hang up and smoke, and he will not be finished until he has drawn one hundred and fifty lashes.
This is still the first punishment, Master Jing asked Jia Rui's grandfather to be the ancestor of Confucianism, and Jia Rui must be married within the year. After giving birth to a son, Jia Rui will go to serve in the Southern Xinjiang Army.
When will you have saved enough military merits, and when will you be able to return to the Central Plains to reunite with your family.
The vice of gambling is much more harmful than prostitution. Prostitution can only ruin one person, but gambling can ruin a family or even a family.
In order to prevent the brothers in the clan from following the example, Master Jing didn't care about saving face for his uncle, so he directly took a ruthless medicine and killed chickens and monkeys.
On the night of Jia Cong's home, the big house gathered in one place to discuss the Xing family's affairs.
Mrs. Xing sat at the head, holding her eldest sister Qiqi, who had fallen asleep, in her arms. Jia Lian and his wife and Yingchun were also in the room, and after listening to Jia Cong's explanation, they basically had the same meaning.
No matter what Xing Zhong is, the Xing family represents the face of Mrs. Rongguo Mansion, and it must not be despised by others.
Jia Lian opened his mouth first and said his thoughts.
"The Xing family is the wife's maiden family, since they came to the capital to take refuge, they can't live too badly, that would be to cut the face of the wife, and also to cut the face of our family. Find a suitable yard for the Xing family and buy it, preferably in the inner city, so that it is convenient to take care of it. ”
Wang Xifengfu sang with his wife, showed the momentum of the lady in charge, and immediately decided: "The second master is right, Mrs. Rong Guo is now the super Mrs. Rongguo of the national dynasty, it doesn't matter how Uncle Xing used to be, the important thing is that Mrs. Guo's face cannot be stepped on because of this." ”
Seeing her husband's satisfied nod, she said to Mrs. Xing, who was still stunned: "Don't worry, madam, with us, we won't let people cut your face." Tomorrow, I will send someone to find it, buy a yard as soon as possible, and let Uncle Xing and them move in. It's best to be in Dashi Yongfang, and don't dare to be hooked to the gambling house again. ”
Jia Cong added: "There is another thing, I saw that the cousin of the Xing family was elegant and steady, and she was knowledgeable and courteous. The wife might as well find an opportunity to call her to live at home, first, it can be regarded as raising the juniors, and secondly, the wife will be the master of finding a good family, so as not to be delayed by Uncle Xing. ”
That Xing Zhongzhong is unreliable, Diao Nu kidnapped and plundered his daughter on the street, and he didn't dare to let a fart go, if Jia Cong didn't happen to pass by, he would almost be killed.
It's a good girl, to have such a father, it's really a sin.
Although she is not a cousin of her own maternal uncle's family, she is also a true relative who is turning a corner, and she still has to help if she can.
Wang Xifeng also nodded, the big house is prosperous, and the father-in-law, husband and uncle are now red and purple, and they must create a great reputation to be right.
When Grandma Liu came to the house for help, she only gave twenty taels of silver, and a few truckloads of grain directly reversed her bad reputation.
And what about this time?
She has already come up with several ways to build a good reputation in her heart, the Xing family came to Beijing to take refuge, and she, the lady in charge, must do things properly.
By the way, the cousin of the Xing family is fifteen or sixteen, so let's find a good family, even if it is not as bad as the girl in the house.
At that time, as long as this matter is mentioned, no one in the capital will be able to praise it, and the second grandmother of Lian is incomparably benevolent and righteous......
Wang Xifeng has always been resolute in doing things, and he does it when he thinks of it: "Since my aunt is sick, do you want my wife to visit over there?" Or the daughter-in-law should go over and send some supplements to her aunt first. ”
Yingchun, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "That...... I'll go with Sister Feng, my aunt is sick, and I, as a niece, won't visit, and let others know that they will say that the people of our Jia family have lost their education and have no filial piety. ”
Jia Lian glanced at Yingchun appreciatively: the second girl finally stood up and knew how to maintain her reputation.
Wang Xifeng smiled and said a good word, and several people finally looked at Mrs. Xing, who was sitting first.
Mrs. Xing's eyes will be red with the help of her stepson, stepdaughter, and daughter-in-law, she is the daughter of a small household, not only did she not get her husband's love after passing the door, she did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and even in the past few years, she was not as good as the big girl in front of the old lady.
Unexpectedly, the situation has changed in the past few years, although her husband is still that virtuous, but the two stepsons and daughter-in-law are still towards her and are respectful and filial to her.
In addition, with Yingchun, the daughter officially recorded in her name, she finally waited for a good day.
"My brother is an unsuccessful person, but his name has been hung with a Xing character after all, and I feel uncomfortable when I see that he is not doing well......"
As Mrs. Xing spoke, tears flowed down her eyes.
A few people in the room sighed in their hearts, in fact, they had a bad life in the past few years, and it was not easy for anyone.
"I've saved some silver here, daughter-in-law Lian, can you take it to see if it's enough? If it's not enough......"
Before Mrs. Xing finished speaking, Jia Lian interrupted and said, "Mrs. is slapping her son in the face, don't dare to say this." I don't lack silver, it's just a small yard, and it doesn't cost a few dollars. My wife is at home, and everything is with me. ”
"But no, you are not alone, which of the two sons under your knees is not wearing a purple robe, if you let people know that the second master took your silver flowers, then you must not be laughed at to death."
Wang Xifeng's words and actions are really beautiful, and a sentence makes Mrs. Xing happy.
Jia Lian took the idea of this, and the brothers scraped together some silver, which was enough for the Xing family to settle down in the capital.
Early the next morning, Wang Xifeng arranged for his henchmen to go to the tooth man to buy a yard, and Mrs. Xing went to Rongxi Hall and told the old lady about the Xing family's visit to Beijing.
Of course, the gambling was hidden, but it was just that the younger sister-in-law Wen was sick after a long journey, and she was worried that the old lady would be too sick, so it was not good to come to visit her for the time being.
The old lady naturally didn't shave her daughter-in-law's face, so she instructed the mandarin duck to go to the warehouse and pick up some supplements for Mrs. Xing to bring over.
In this way, Mrs. Xing led her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to the small courtyard rented by Jia Cong for the Xing family with several carts of things.
When they arrived at the place, Mrs. Xing put on the posture of Mrs. Chaopinguo, made people block Xing Zhong's mouth and slapped him hard, and warned Xing Zhong to dare to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble again, so she asked people to send him to eat sand in front of the desert army.
Don't look at Xing Zhong as Mrs. Xing's cousin, but in the face of his cousin, he can't even show the majesty of his brother.
You must know that if Mrs. Xing hadn't saved money to hand back to the south over the years, their family would have starved to death.
The Xing family was also a scholarly family in the early years, and the family had a lot of money. But there is no heir who can become a weapon, his brother died early and did not even have a queen, and his cousin inherited the family business, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything, and lost the family business in a few years, so he could only take his wife and children to rent around......
If it weren't for the fact that her mother's family was unable to support herself, and her brother would have to rely on her to support her one by one, why would she find a way to find silver everywhere, so that she would have a bad reputation for being mean.
Even if she doesn't have a decent dowry, will the eldest lady of the dignified Rongguo Mansion be short of silver flowers? It's not forced yet!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xing's hatred for her cousin deepened.
"Hit hard, beat him until he has a long memory!"
When Xing Zhong was pumped and couldn't hold it anymore, Mrs. Xing asked his subordinates to carry Xing Zhong back to the room to take medicine.
Then I went to my sister-in-law's room, and the two sisters-in-law hugged and cried.
……
It is not easy to live in the capital, and there are indeed many comfortable and elegant small courtyards in Yongfang, but because they are adjacent to the imperial city, there are dignitaries and nobles nearby, and the price is really not cheap.
It took Wang Xifeng several days to find a suitable courtyard two streets away from the south side of Rongguo Mansion.
The price of the two-entry courtyard is as high as 3,500 taels.
And for a yard of the same size, the cheapest of the several squares in the outer city is not even two hundred taels, this is the gap.
Mrs. Xing didn't want to go back to her parents' house for a long time, so she let Yingchun go a few more times, and Yingchun was the master of seeking medical advice.
The time came to the Dragon Boat Festival in a flash, and the Beijing rice dumplings in early May were full of fragrance.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the court was closed, and the Xing family officially came to the door.
Master Zheng took a few brothers to entertain Xing Zhong in the front hall, and Wen took Xing Xiuyan to the back hall to kowtow to the old lady.
It just so happened that Mrs. Xue came to visit with four children and nephews today, plus the girls in the house, Rongxi Hall was full of eye-catching girls, which made the old lady happy to close her mouth.
Although Xing Xiuyan has a cold family, she is not like her parents, and she has always been elegant and steady, gentle and peaceful.
Such a temperament coupled with a good appearance is very attractive to the old lady. As soon as he was happy, he took off the jade bracelet on his wrist and put it on, and it was a good compliment to hold his hand.
Mrs. Xue complimented: "Mrs. Tai has another good granddaughter, which is really enviable." ”
"I want to kidnap your piano girl and give me my granddaughter, so I don't agree with you."
The old lady quipped: "The piano girl looks like the person in the painting, why don't we change it, and I will exchange Baoyu with you for the piano girl, how about it?" ”
Before Mrs. Xing could speak, Xichun, who was playing with Baoqin, had her eyes lit up.
It's a good idea, Second Brother Bao is good anywhere, but he always robs her of snacks and snacks.
So Hu Xichun immediately ran to the old lady, hugged her legs and shook it: "Okay, okay, old ancestor, let's exchange Second Brother Bao for Sister Qin, let her live with me and play with me." ”
Everyone in the room was amused, and the old lady held Xichun in her arms, rubbed the baby's fat face, and said funny: "Your second brother Bao is a demon king of the mixed world, no one wants it." Sister Xi'er is a blessing doll, and everyone loves her. Your Aunt Xue has been greedy for a long time, or the old ancestor will exchange you, okay? ”
Surprise!
Xichun's round eyes widened, and her little brain shook like a rattle.
"Don't don't, I want to stay at home and be filial to my ancestors, in the future, my snacks will be shared by my ancestors, and my ancestors don't exchange me for my sister......"
Everyone covered their mouths and snickered, and the old lady hugged Xichun tighter with a smile, and rubbed the little brain melon seed: "Silly child, the ancestor is the rarest of you, where would he be willing to give you to others." ”
"I know that the old ancestor loves me the most!"
Xichun writhed in the old lady's arms, silently calculating her share of snacks in her heart.
The second sister, the third sister, Sister Lin, and Sister Yun have one copy, and the second brother Lian, third brother, and second brother Bao have one copy......
Well, let's reduce half of Second Brother Bao's future and send it to Rongxi Hall to be filial to the ancestors.
……
Baoyu in the front hall didn't know that the fourth sister had cut his snacks again, which would scold Mei Xinyi, the cultivator of the Hanlin Academy.
This is really infuriating, Mei Xinyi has faith in his name, but in fact he is a person without trust.
When I saw that Jinling Xue's family had the right to pass through the capital, and the three princes of Jia, Wang, and Shi were old in-laws, I had the idea of marrying and climbing relatives.
Mei Xinyi was in her thirties before she was admitted to the Jinshi, and before entering Beijing, she sought an opportunity to set up a family affair for her son Mei Lan and the second room of the Xue family.
For this reason, Xue Zhen's father sent gold and silver to Mei Xinyi to dredge the relationship, so that Mei Xinyi, who was selected as a jinshi, passed the assessment during the selection of the Hanlin Academy and stayed in the capital smoothly.
originally thought that after the Mei family gained a firm foothold in the capital, they would fulfill the contract and continue to go through the six ceremonies, and finally wait for Baoqin and Lu to complete the marriage.
didn't want Xue Zhen's parents to pass away one after another, even if Xue Zhen sent a funeral report according to the rules, the Mei family didn't send any serious people to mourn at all, but sent a servant and sent a few baskets of paper money.
This incident made the second room of the Xue family a joke in Jinling Mansion, if it weren't for the Xue family's brothers and sisters who needed to keep filial piety, Xue Zhen would almost have been killed in the capital and knocked on the door.
Later, the Xue family's big house also had an accident, and the Mei family even more treated the Xue family's second room as improper. Before the big house entered Beijing, Xue Zhen deliberately rushed back to Jinling Mansion from his hometown in the countryside and asked his aunt to bring a letter to Beijing.
There was dissatisfaction with the Mei family in the letter, but also the last glimmer of hope. My sister's marriage was set by my father, and Xue Zhen is a person who keeps his promises, and he doesn't want his sister to have the reputation of being divorced.
The letter was delivered, and the Mei family also said in the reply that it was good, and when Baoqin and Lu were waiting, they would continue to go through the six ceremonies to complete the marriage contract.
But within a year, the news that the Mei family had set up a marriage with an adult in Beijing spread back to Jiangnan.
Xue Zhen was furious and immediately wanted to go to Beijing to ask for clarification. His plan this time was not to continue the marriage contract he had made in his early years, but to withdraw from the marriage.
The second room of the Xue family can't look down on the Mei family, and he Xue Zhen wants to withdraw this marriage for his sister!
But I didn't want to coincide with the Japanese invaders ravaging Jiangnan and delaying the trip.
When the imperial court put down the rebellion, the people who came to pick them up also arrived in Jinling.
The adult who originally made a marriage contract with the Mei family was involved in corruption, and was robbed of his official hat by the imperial court, and the whole family was exiled to Lingnan to raise fish and shrimp.
As soon as the Mei family saw that the second room of the Xue family had entered Beijing, they immediately licked their faces and ran to the Xue Mansion again, wanting to continue the marriage contract with the Xue family, which was disgusting to the Xue family.
Xue Pan picked up Fang Tian's halberd and was about to kill the Mei family's father and son, if Mrs. Xue hadn't stopped her, Mei Xinyi's family would have gone to the underworld to kowtow to Xue Zhen's father to make amends.
That's not the most disgusting, the most infuriating is yet to come.
Since the beginning of the year, some people in the capital began to spread that the second room of the Xue family was not trustworthy, and when they saw the small family of the Mei family, they planned to destroy their relatives, so that the second girl of the Xue family could climb the dragon and attach the phoenix......
It is rumored that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion said that when she first met the second girl of the Xue family, she said that she would tell her to her good grandson Baoyu......
In fact, the old lady really said this, but the old lady's original words were that if it weren't for Baoyu and Yun Ya's childhood sweethearts, Brother Cong and Yu'er were also married, and she didn't have a grandson of the right age, she would have to leave the girl in the painting in Rongguo Mansion.
Even if this rumor is not from the Mei family, it is inextricably linked.
The two girls of the Xue family were plagued by rumors, and the other end of the rumors actually pointed to the Jia family, is it a coincidence?
Jia Cong already had the answer in his heart, and sneered: "This Mei Hanlin is really the essence of the wall grass, I really don't know where he came from to dare to say that his family is noble?" ”
After a sarcastic sentence, Jia Cong reached out and grabbed Baoyu's shoulder: "Second Brother Bao, aren't you going to be angry with Sister Qin?" It just so happens that I have a story here, and I also asked Second Brother Bao to polish it and send it to the "Beijing Evening News" in a few days. ”
Baoyu asked suspiciously, "Story? What's the story? Storytelling can also make Sister Qin angry? ”
"Not only can it make Sister Qin angry, but it can also make his Mei family stink for 10,000 years!"
Jia Cong smiled and sang: "Qin Xianglian knelt in front of the sedan chair and was terrified, and Bao Xiangye sat on it and listened to the people's words......"
