The husband of the Red Chamber is upright

Chapter 59

It wasn't until December, when the Imperial College was on holiday, that Jia Lin took the time to invite Jia Lian out for tea.At this time last year, Jia Lian brought Jia Lin back from Yangzhou, wondering what schemes the Jia Mansion had waiting for him, but this year, Jia Lin had completely escaped from the Jia Mansion, and she still had a title on her body. Even when you go out, you can be called Mr. Wen Jin.The changes can be described as earth-shaking.Jia Lian sighed when he thought of this.He was also a little thankful that after all, he had the previous affection. No matter how high Jia Lin's status was, she still had his cousin in her eyes.

Jia Lian looked a little thinner, but in good spirits, walked into the private room, saluted Jia Lin jokingly, and said, "I have seen the Lord."

Seeing his appearance, Jia Lin couldn't help kicking him, and said with a smile, "You're still pretending to be me, huh?"

Jia Lian immediately understood Jia Lin's attitude, and the worries in her heart were relieved. She got up quickly, found a seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "I'm happy for you. Don't tell me, A few days ago, Baoyu was going to nibble the rouge on the maid's mouth, but his uncle saw him. The uncle was furious and wanted to beat him up, but the grandmother stopped him. When he returned to his yard, the uncle scolded the aunt Dun, what else to say, if she hadn't been black-hearted, he would be the father of the lord by now!"

Yuan Chun is youthful and beautiful, and Concubine Liu Gui valued her, and the third prince also doted on her. As soon as she entered the prince's backyard, those old people gathered together to deal with her.When Jia Zheng reprimanded Mrs. Wang, it was the time when Yuan Chun was caught with some kind of hand or foot and punished to go to Zhuangzi to read scriptures.In the past few days, Yuan Chun was proven innocent and brought back from Zhuangzi. Jia Zheng was naturally more polite to Mrs. Wang.

What Jia Lian said was to say that the courtyard where Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang live now has been filled with people from their big house.

Jia Lin didn't answer the conversation, and turned to talk about something else: "I heard that my sister-in-law is sick, but what's wrong? I brought some medicinal materials out today, and you will bring them back when you go back next time." .” The relationship between him and Jia Lian still needs to be managed well.Otherwise, the previous affection would not be able to withstand the wear and tear.

"It's really sick..." Jia Lian gave a wry smile, "Your sister-in-law is a shrewd person. She saw that the balance of money in the account book was wrong, and after careful calculation, she actually embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver during the years when my aunt was in charge of the house." Go...the money can't be made up by our elders, right?" Mrs. Wang kept this account secret, and there was no problem during the handover. If it was Wang Xifeng in the original book, she would have to ask for money to make up for it, after all, she is As the daughter-in-law, if something went wrong in her hands, the responsibility is on her head.And she couldn't let go of the power in her hand.

Now, Wang Xifeng has figured it out. When Jia Zhu marries a wife next year, the housekeeper's rights will inevitably return to the second room. She is just a transitional one. If so, she doesn't need to hold on to such a point. He simply pretended to be sick, and sent out the account books as they were.Now, Wang Xifeng has been recuperating in her yard for several months, and has not gone out to socialize.

"It's so..." Jia Lin paused.He suddenly remembered that in the original book, Wang Xifeng was charged with another crime, which was lending money.Wang Xifeng may have selfish intentions in lending money, but most of the money she got was used to subsidize her family.Mrs. Wang picked everything out of them.But how did Wang Xifeng get on this road in the first place?Someone must have been instigating it...

"That's not the case at all." Jia Lian felt a little embarrassed, "Your sister-in-law went to her natal family and found a good doctor for her there. We also cheated, hiding the second wife's person and letting him come to your house for your sister-in-law. I've seen it. Now, your sister-in-law is taking good care of her body. I'm already at this age, and Jia Zhu will get married next year, and I will always have a child."

Wang Xifeng's father is Wang Ziteng's brother Teng, who is no longer around. She grew up in front of Wang Ziteng's wife, Shi Shi, so she has a very good relationship with Wang Ziteng and his wife.Mrs. Wang is Wang Ziteng's biological sister.A younger sister and a niece are both close. If there is a conflict between the two parties, it is natural to deal with it.

If Wang Xifeng really wants to confront Mrs. Wang, she will try her best to win Wang Ziteng as an external force.

After Jia Lian finished speaking, he seemed to frowned, and then said: "The Xifu has also arranged a marriage for Brother Rong. If you ask me, Brother Rong is not very old, and the woman is still young, so hurry to make a marriage arrangement. , I don’t know why. The decision was made a few days ago, and the wedding date is still ahead of Jia Zhu... This 12-year-old girl is still unable to consummate the house! The daughter’s family is adopted by Qin Bangye from the Yangshengtang I’ve come here. I’ve heard that you’ve grown up very well at a young age, but this family’s background really doesn’t make it onto the stage. People like ours naturally marry wives and virtuous people. What does appearance matter?! Brother Zhen is really confused Ah! I heard that he also sent several thousand taels of silver to the Qin family, asking them to buy the dowry."

Qin Keqing?Jialin's heart skipped a beat again.At this time, grass had already grown on the grave of the former prince, and Zhongshun Wang Shuixuan could not surpass his uncles to ascend the throne. If Qin Keqing was the daughter of the prince, then it would be nothing for the Ningguo Mansion to marry her as a daughter-in-law Benefits... Then, whose daughter is Qin Keqing?

"Brother Zhen is now the head of the clan, and his son and daughter-in-law are the clan's wife. How can such a family, with such a background, be able to afford the position of clan's wife? I don't know what my grandmother thought, but she didn't I oppose this marriage." Jia Lian was still rambling on.

"Okay, I asked you out today, not to listen to what you said. Here, take a look." Jia Lin interrupted Jia Lian's complaint, and handed Jia Lian the paper in her hand.These are all the news that Jia Lin has sorted out in the past few months, and they are all related to the death of Jia Lian's biological mother.It's not really evidence, but the death of Jia Lian's biological mother is indeed suspicious.

Before Jia Lian finished reading, he could not help but clenched his hands into fists and slammed the table hard.Only then did Jia Lin slowly explain: "My mother and I are no longer members of the Jia family. Logically speaking, we should not get involved in the affairs of the Jia family. However, your mother entrusted my mother with a dream, I just said that I was wronged... I collected these in private. Now, those who served your mother are almost dead. However, there is still a breakthrough here, that big maid named Xinghuang, she Your parents are probably still staying at your mother's natal Zhou's house, and if you ask people from the Zhou family to ask them for questions, you may be able to find out something."

Xinghuang is also Yingchun's biological mother, who has also passed away due to dystocia.

When Jia Lian left, a person came out of the compartment, and it was Qin Shu.Qin Shu walked up to Jia Lin, removed Jia Lian's tea, poured himself another cup, and said, "If you think he's good, I'll ask the Seventh Prince to make up for him."

Jia Lin gave him a slightly surprised look, and said, "Why did you suddenly mention this? I thought you didn't bother to go through the back door..."

The idea of ​​going through the back door is a bit subtle, and Qin Shu didn't understand anything, so his face immediately turned red.After a while, he explained: "It's your cousin after all... I see that he has a good relationship with you, and I think he took care of you a lot before. Now that we have the ability, we can naturally give something back." He Originally, I wanted to say that if he treats you well, I would naturally be willing to help him, but these words are a bit sensational, so I can only think about it in my heart.Qin Shu's skin is not as thick as Jia Lin's.

"Okay, if you don't find it troublesome, just figure it out. It's best to let him go out of the capital. I see that he can't do well in the capital." Talking to her own family, Jia Lin didn't polite.

Qin Shu nodded.After a while, he said again: "Also, the family Jia Lian mentioned earlier...the girl is the illegitimate daughter of the fourth prince. Her mother...is a maid in the Royal Court. The queen gave birth to a daughter for the fourth prince successfully, so don't meddle in the matter over there."

Qin Keqing's biological mother turned out to be Emperor Xuanzheng's, although Emperor Xuanzheng might have forgotten about it long ago, but this is indeed a ticking time bomb.This child should have been given up in the mother's womb.But the fourth prince had no heirs, and when the court lady was pregnant, he didn't even have a child, so the only one was naturally considered precious.The Ningguo Mansion wanted to marry Qin Keqing as a daughter-in-law, presumably because they knew who Qin Keqing's biological father was—not necessarily who the biological mother was.The fourth prince must have covered this up.

This is ridiculous. The Rongguo Mansion is determined to win over the third prince, but the Ningguo Mansion wants to win over the fourth prince. Even the two mansions are not united... Jia Lin nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, matters in Jia's mansion will be settled soon." As long as they don't commit crimes against me, I naturally don't care."

Soon it was the Spring Festival, and Jia Lin and Qin Shu took the Zhou family to live in Zhuangzi.People from Jia's mansion did send invitations to Xinglin Hutong, but there was no one in the mansion, so the matter was ignored.

In the early spring of the second year, Jia Lian did receive a Shi Que, a seventh-rank county magistrate.

To be honest, now that Yuan Chun is gaining favor in the third prince's residence, not to mention that the people in the second room look down on such a small county magistrate of seventh grade, even Jia Lian's father, Jia She, doesn't seem to be satisfied.But Jia Lian happily took Wang Xifeng to take office.Jia's mother actually wanted to keep Wang Xifeng, but Jia She said "children are the most important thing", so Jia's mother fell silent.Because Mrs. Xing's housekeeping skills were not enough, the housekeeping power fell into the hands of the second wife, Mrs. Wang.

The author has something to say: The next chapter is two years away.Jia's life is almost exhausted.
