Struggle of the Woman in the Red Chamber

Although it wasn't her original intention to move into this courtyard, Qin Tong thought it was very satisfactory after looking around.

The eaves and ridges of the verandahs and the ridges of the buildings, as always, reveal the splendor of the Rongguo Mansion, and a row of red plums are planted under the white walls. There is also an elegant and exquisite warm pavilion, a spacious and bright flower hall, a neat and new study room, a well-equipped kitchenette, and a [-]-square-meter courtyard paved with bluestones and surrounded by a small colorful garden in the middle...

Qin Tong was admiring his new home with his stomach on his stomach, when he saw the sneaky cat from Zhou Rui's family come in, Qin Tong felt a group of crows "croaking" flying past in front of him, before she could salute, Qin Tong Unhappily asked: "You said that you are a decent housekeeper anyway, and you also manage dozens of people under your hand. How decent is this ghostly appearance? Let others look at it and think I asked you to do something Bad things have gone away." There are a lot of gossips in front of the widow's door, so no matter whether people around her have done bad things or not, they must ask to stand upright when they come out or go in, or else they should give her more topics... ··

Zhou Rui's family was worried about something hidden in their hearts. After being scolded by the new master, she directly knelt down.Qin Tong hugged his stomach and stared at the brick screen wall a few meters away, and couldn't help but slander: Talk about the importance of having a screen wall at home!

The belly was getting heavier and heavier, Qin Tong couldn't stand for a long time, so he said directly: "Tell me, what are you doing stupid again?" Just because Zhou Rui's family looked guilty and panicked, she could think that she was going to wipe someone's ass again.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Tong's voice fell, Zhou Rui's family began to cry: "Grandma, you are so merciful, please save the servant who is in charge of the house, he was detained by the unruly people."

Qin Tong took a deep breath, and secretly decided that after she gave birth to the child, she would find a way to drive Zhou Rui's family out. If nothing else, she would just rely on the attitude of this answer, half-hide and half-talk. He only said what was beneficial to him, and begged her to save others!Where did such a good thing come from, Qin Tong didn't bother to say any more, and turned around and walked into the house. Unsurprisingly, he was stopped, and Qin Tong stared at her expressionlessly.

Zhou Rui's family shrank their heads in fright, knowing that they couldn't hide it, looked around, and found that the nearest little maid was also less than ten meters away, so they closed their eyes cruelly, and said in a low voice: "Madam asked my head to release loan sharks outside. Yes, two days ago, several companies were due, and the head of the family went to collect the debts. I don’t know what happened in the middle, but there was a conflict, and I bumped into an old man. After that, the head of my family was left there by that family. Grandma, the head of my family was ordered by his wife to run errands, but he didn’t do anything bad. It’s all the fault of those unscrupulous people. It’s only natural to pay back the debts, but they actually want to deny it, and now they dare to despise the Jia family. The authority of Zhou Rui’s authority is really emboldened, grandma, you have to get back this bad breath for the head of my family.” The more I spoke, the more excited I got, and when I said the last few words, the members of Zhou Rui’s family were almost on the verge of getting angry. After touching Qin Tong, Qin Tong was so frightened that he quickly stepped back to avoid the entangled hands. Now that she was holding her big belly, she was almost unable to stand still. How could she stand up to this battle?

Qin Tong stared, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "What do you look like? Just calm down." After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at the silver plate that was about to be brought up, and then said: "Are you still reasonable? You dare to give loan sharks, and you dare to ruin your wife's reputation! How can you do such a thing? You must be waiting for the slave to betray the master! Just wait, wait until I free up my hands Get rid of you two! Also, shut up and stop yelling, otherwise, let the old lady know, and you know the consequences!" After that, Zhou Rui's family, who was still collapsed on the ground, greeted His two confidant maids went straight to Mrs. Wang's residence.No matter what, she still had to inform Mrs. Wang about this matter.

In order to flaunt her "filial piety" is consistent from the outside to the inside, no matter how busy she is, Qin Tong will find time to wash her hands and make soup for her mother-in-law. It has been a long time, and most of the time in a day is unconscious, and even the skin has begun to turn blue, but even so, when she heard about this, it did not prevent Mrs. Wang who happened to be in a waking state from being furious: "Still What's there to say? Such troublemakers ignore our Rongguo Mansion and dare to detain people from our Jia family! Why don't you send someone to clear up the officials and arrest all those untouchables!"

Qin Tong took a deep breath, she felt that she was going to give birth prematurely due to the anger of this overbearing and unreasonable master and servant. Said: "Report to the official? Is the wife confused? Let everyone know that the wife of the Rongguo Mansion has given loan sharks. Not to mention whether the wife's natal family still has face, even the young and old of the Jia family will not have to go out to meet people in the future! "Twisting his body and changing into a comfortable posture, Qin Tong continued: "I still have the heart to cover up for my wife, but my wife is not shy. Well, there is no old lady who is more respectful in our house. Then The daughter-in-law is going to tell the old lady." After finishing speaking, he braced himself up and made a gesture to leave.

Mrs. Wang was shocked, and she couldn't care about why her daughter-in-law, who was usually kind and docile, suddenly became sharp. At this moment, she just wanted to keep the daughter-in-law who was about to leave: "Wan'er, look at your child, why are you so irritable?" Listen to what I have to say, you also know that my body is not in good shape and I can't do things. This matter, mother has to be handed over to you. Mother told you, although our family has a great career, But occasionally there are times when things are tight, and my mother does this for the sake of the Jia family. And although this is disgraceful, but if you do it quietly, who would know? We women, what is it worth to earn some money for makeup? Besides, In your situation, you need to save more money. Now you can travel miles for food and drink, so you don’t have to worry about it. But when the child is born, it will cost you money. In the future, the child needs to study, make friends, and marry a wife, etc. How can you get so much money to deal with the things you are waiting for? As mothers, we have to think about our children in the long run." She spoke too hastily and quickly, and finally Mrs. Wang fell back into the quilt unbearably. I just feel like I'm spinning.

Qin Tong sighed in his heart, no matter how much Mrs. Wang is wrong, a motherly heart is definitely sincere and precious, but she doesn't want to take over this matter, and not only can't take over, she also wants to end it, think about it, Qin Tong said firmly: "The daughter-in-law admires the wife's compassion for her children and grandchildren, but in this matter, the daughter-in-law will never repeat the same mistakes. There is an old saying that if you want to be unknown, you must do nothing yourself. One will be killed if it is not handled properly, and the daughter-in-law has to accumulate virtue for the child, so don’t blame the wife, the daughter-in-law will take care of the first and last for the wife, don’t worry, the wife.”

Mrs. Wang stared in disbelief at the obedient daughter-in-law in her impression who had become so rebellious and unfilial. After waiting for a long time, she said in a hateful voice: "Pearl Ruoquan, I know you. The evil animal disobeys me like this, it will definitely divorce you!"

Qin Tong didn't want to say any more, so he just covered the quilt that Mrs. Wang had lifted back, and went to the outside room, and said to the little maid on duty: "My wife is asleep, you stay here and don't let anyone go in to disturb you." Yes." Hearing the little maid's response, Qin Tong nodded, and came to the main room in the east corridor, where Zhou Rui's family was being punished to kneel.

Seeing Grandma Zhu enter the door, the members of Zhou Rui's family quickly walked over on their knees, kowtowed and admitted their mistake: "Master Grandma has a lot, please spare this servant, this servant knows his mistake, and this servant will never dare again."

Walking around with his heavy stomach in his arms made Qin Tong feel very tired. He really didn't want to talk to Zhou Rui's family anymore, so he said directly: "Get up, I just reported it to my wife, and she also said about it. Don’t go on anymore, you go and tell your family Zhou Rui to stop collecting the bills, just take back the account books and destroy them, those who have had disputes before, make a list and give compensation one by one, don’t ask Shut their mouths, I will leave the ugly words here first, and if anything happens in the future, I will only blame you and your husband!" After speaking, after thinking about it, Qin Tong added: "Take me to Take a look at your wife's private treasury, I'll give you some silver taels."

The hearts of Zhou Rui's family went up and down, and they were very anxious and anxious. When they heard the last word, they almost jumped out of their hearts. After settling down, the wife is already useless, it is more important to hug the thigh of the new master tightly, besides, she is still in the body of a crime, so let's cooperate obediently and strive for leniency, so she said honestly: "Madam's private treasury keys are usually The wife hid it by herself, but the servant accidentally found out that the key is hidden under the bottom of the dressing box."

Qin Tong nodded and said, "Come with me." This Zhou Rui's family has to put her in a good place in the future, she knows too much!

After getting the key and led by Zhou Rui's family, Qin Tong finally came to Mrs. Wang's small Buddhist hall!Qin Tong understood in his heart that this is probably where Mrs. Wang hid her private money.Acting requires a complete set. Qin Tong burns incense and worships Buddha, and completes all actions without missing a beat. She is originally an atheist, but now she can travel through time. It can be seen that it is interesting to say that there are gods three feet up.In the end, Qin Tong declared that he was tired and wanted to rest in the quiet room, so he screened everyone away, leaving only Zhou Rui's family to serve.Then, after the clearing, the two entered Mrs. Wang's small private treasury.

How should I put it, it was only here that Qin Tong had a deep understanding of Mrs. Wang's taste. In short, it was vulgar!In addition to antique jade articles, the precious head and face jewelry are boxes of gold nuggets and silver ingots, oh, and there are two large boxes of silver bills on the side.Qin Tong can only say that her mother-in-law is really a real person!

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

At this time, Qin Tong is giving birth, and this is also her "second child", so she should have experience psychologically, but when she gave birth to Shi Ye last time, because her future has not yet been determined, she has been very nervous throughout the production process. She was worried about the sex of the child, so after her attention was diverted, it didn't seem to hurt so much, but now, she was concentrating on giving birth to the child!

It really hurts, it hurts so much that she has scolded the eighteen generations of her current dead husband Jia Zhu's ancestors, but the child still hasn't been born, Qin Tong wonders if she is going to be planted in the seventh world, Then I heard Mrs. Wen yelling: "I saw the head! Grandma, try harder!" Qin Tong was so frightened that he felt a warm current slipping out, and then heard Mrs. Wen yelling again: "It's born! Where's Grandma? Has she fainted?" No, she was just surprised by you...

Because the child's mother is in the rightful position, even though the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Jia family has an embarrassing status as a posthumous child, his abdication still attracted the attention of the Rongguo Mansion. A considerable number of people came, not only Li Shouzhong and his wife, but also Li Shouzhong's eldest son, his wife and young second son.

Jia Zheng's rare smile opened his face. Unfortunately, the eldest son died young, but he was in the same line, which is a pity. Also, that little one is his eldest grandson, not only his blood inheritance, but also the prosperity of the Jia family. Omen!So, at the banquet table, Jia Cunzhou rarely restrained himself, and toasted his father-in-law again and again, because this girl gave birth to his eldest grandson.

In the inner room, Qin Tong was talking happily with his cheap mother and sister-in-law. Of course, this happiness was discounted. Due to Li Shouzhong's rigorous and rigid personality, the family atmosphere of the Li family was a bit depressing, so, in At this festive moment, Mrs. Li still continued her usual style, just smiling reservedly and lightly exhorting, if it weren't for the unconcealed love and concern when those eyes looked at her, Qin Tong would have suspected that the original body was not Mrs. Li's own.

Stopping the jubilant thoughts in his mind, Qin Tong took out a small wooden box from under the pillow and handed it to the cheap mother, saying: "This is a 5000 tael silver note, which is the private money my daughter has saved since she entered Jia's house. My daughter is thinking about it. The elder brother and the third younger brother need to spend a lot of money to study and manage the officialdom, so this is a little wish from the daughter, and the mother will take it, and don’t refuse." The Li family is too weak now, and it must be supported as soon as possible. , or she will have a sister-in-law to fight in the ring in the future, whether the backing is strong or not is an important factor in determining her success.

The sister-in-law of the Li family was overjoyed. Although the Li family had houses and farms, their wealth could only be regarded as a wealthy family of the squire level. In daily life, they had to be frugal when encountering rarer things, but they could do anything in their own home. , if you need to get some extra flowers, it will make people anxious, especially her husband will be evaluated again soon. If she is judged as excellent this time, her husband can be promoted to another level smoothly. Sister-in-law gave the silver at just the right time!Just seeing the motionless figure of her mother-in-law, the sister-in-law of the Li family took a deep breath to suppress the excitement that was about to come out.

Mrs. Li put the wooden box back into her daughter's hand, touched her hair lovingly, and said, "My son's life is miserable, and he was widowed at a young age, but fortunately, my son-in-law has left you a hope. This You take care of the money yourself, there will be more places for you mother and son to spend money in the future, you don’t have to worry about the family, there are your father and brothers. My son takes care of himself, and he is already filial to his mother.”

She loves her son dearly, but her daughter was also born in October of her pregnancy, how could she not feel distressed?They were parents, blindly found a husband who was short-lived for their daughter, and it was her daughter's filial piety that she didn't blame them.Also, my daughter struggled hard alone in this big Jia family with no one to rely on. One can imagine the hardships. If the money saved by my daughter was taken away, it would really hurt her heart.

Xu Shi had just given birth, and her endocrine system had not been adjusted well. Qin Tong, who was so emotionally fluctuating, was almost moved to tears. This cheap mother really loved her, but Qin Tong still put the wooden box back in the In Mrs. Li's hand, she said: "Mother, my daughter is fine. After my mother-in-law is sick, I will be the housekeeper for my daughter. Who dares to bully me? Although the money is for my elder brother and younger brother, but they are well. Isn't it just me? My daughter still needs the support of her mother's family here, doesn't she, sister-in-law? If my brother becomes a high-ranking man in the future, sister-in-law should remind him not to forget his sister."

Hearing this, the sister-in-law of the Li family quickly expressed her opinion: "Mother, look at my younger sister, she is already a mother, and she is still so naughty! How much your brother loves you, and my sister doesn't know? Ask my sister-in-law to tell me, if your brother really has The day my sister said, even if your brother doesn’t remember me, he won’t forget you, my sister either!” Although these words were intended to be flattering, they were absolutely unrealistic, and the two brothers of the Li family were very fond of the only one. This younger sister/sister of mine is sincere.

When Mrs. Li heard what her daughter-in-law said, she pursed her lips, and seeing that her daughter was really determined, she had no choice but to put the wooden box in her arms and put it away. Always remind the two sons not to forget their sisters, and the daughter's love for the family must not be let down.
