Struggle of the Woman in the Red Chamber

After reading the letter, Qin Tong said to Mrs. Wang who was crooked on the long couch: "Madam, my aunt's family is orphaned and widowed, and it may be inconvenient to live outside. My daughter-in-law looks at the Pear Fragrance Court on the northeast corner, which is quite spacious and white. It's empty, why don't you pack it up and let my aunt's family live in it." It seems that Xue's entry into Jia's mansion is a fait accompli, and it's Madam Wang's wish, so she might as well give it a favor.

Mrs. Wang smiled gratifiedly, patted her daughter-in-law's hand, and said: "I know you are a good boy, but it's not convenient for me to tell you about this, so I have to ask you from the old lady." The younger sister's family was originally invited by her. Yes, but after all, the Xue family is her relatives, and there is still a mother-in-law alive above her.

Qin Tong smiled softly, but his tone was generous: "It is a daughter-in-law's honor to run errands for my wife. Don't worry, my wife. The old lady will definitely agree." disagree?

On the way to Jia's mother's courtyard, Qin Tong was thinking about how to throw Xue Pan out on the premise of keeping Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai. Hmph, she could only imagine how lively the place where the Jia clan lived in Rongning's Back Street would be in the future!

Qin Tong reported the matter to Jia's mother in detail, and Jia's mother nodded and said: "That's the reason, if you come from relatives, you should help more."

Qin Tong grinned in his heart, listening to Jia's mother's voice, he probably felt that the Xue family's house in Beijing needed to be refurbished, so he wanted to live in Jia's house for a while. If he knew that Xue's family would marry a daughter-in-law here in the future, I don't know what kind of expression I will have.

After slandering for a while, Qin Tong said again: "Old lady, a few days ago, some sister-in-laws from the back street came to chat with me, saying that their nephews are all grown up, they haven't studied well, and they don't know what to do for a living in the future. To support the family, let me look at finding something for my nephews to do. I think our house has servants on duty, so how can we get nephews." This is what Qin Tong thought along the way Bad idea, if the Overlord is coming, she can't stop it, but she can pay out all the Jia clan members who are not upright.

Jia Mu nodded and said: "Very well, there are enough servants in the house." She very much agreed with her daughter-in-law's wisdom, what can those young masters who don't work hard and don't distinguish between grains and grains do?She even brought her grandson to the house.

Qin Tong went on to say: "I am dissatisfied with the old lady. Seeing the fifth sister-in-law's temples that have turned white in her early thirties, the granddaughter-in-law is very unbearable and touched. She is also a widow at a young age, but she It's not as good as I have the care and love of the old lady and the wife. She dragged Yun'er up alone, and the hardships can be imagined. Therefore, the granddaughter-in-law felt compassion for a moment and thought of a way to help them, but she didn't know Is this method suitable, so my daughter-in-law asked the old lady to evaluate it."

Having said that, Qin Tong continued after seeing Mother Jia motioning her to continue: "After the old man left, none of our family would follow the path of martial arts, but our Jia family is serious. As for Wu Xun, how unfilial it is to lose the inheritance of the ancestors like this, so the grandson thought, since those boys in the clan can't read well, then go to the army to fight for the future, since they have a serious career , not to let down the well-known ancestors under the spring, what does the old lady think of the granddaughter-in-law's idea?"

Mother Jia pondered for a while. She recalled how heroic and heroic the old man was at that time, and she also remembered how the Rongguo Mansion was surrounded by a family like a city, and thought of the descendants of the Jia family today. She only cares about eating, drinking and having fun instead of doing business, and feels sad. How long has it been since the gate of the beast head has been opened? If she sees the old man in a hundred years, how will she tell him about the current situation of the Jia family?

Mother Jia's heart trembled, and she said: "It's very rare for you to think of this. The glory of Rongguo Mansion cannot be allowed to be dimmed like this, and the foundation of our ancestors cannot be left in such a state of ruin. You don't have to worry about this matter. I've been idle for too long!" The last sentence was spoken in a gust of cold wind.

Qin Tong shrank his head, and pardoned the old man, please ask for blessings

Qin Tong thinks that Jia Amnesty is quite easy to handle. See, Jia's mother is going to sell his concubine Ji again, so ah, people can't make their preferences too obvious, look at this, catch one right at a time.

Maybe it was to vent bad temper on his frightened concubines, maybe it was to get revenge on these little bastards who disturbed his good life. The family nephews who were over 13 years old were not spared either, and they were all stuffed into various military camps.Because these boys are not his sons, Jia She doesn't feel sorry for them. It doesn't matter what kind of errand they are, as long as they are needed, Jia She is extremely agile in handling this matter.Such efficient mobility still made Jia's mother's eyes brighten. She just felt that this eldest son, he was not a complete waste wood, and he could still catch the eye even if he was forced.From then on, whenever there was something wrong, Jia's mother would force Jia Amnesty to do it, which will not be mentioned later.

Having said that, Jia Amnesty's move scared the young Jia's elementary school students to start studying crazily with their books, lest Mr. Amnesty find out that they are also the type of people who don't like to study.This has stimulated their enthusiasm for learning, but it is an unexpected gain.

When Xue's mother and son entered the mansion, Qin Tong took his son, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu as guests at her mother's house. She didn't deliberately avoid them, but the date sent by Xue's family was very vague, but here, Li's elder brother clearly He invited relatives and friends to a banquet on this day, because he was transferred back to the capital to take up his post, and now he is the fourth rank Zhan Shifu's young Zhan Shi.

Considering that the Jia family did not have many close relatives and friends who could let the girls of the Jia family come out for a walk, so this time, Qin Tong brought not only his son but also the four sisters-in-law.The Li family can be regarded as a scholarly family, and most of the people who come and go are Qingliu celebrities. Not to mention the family background, but the education of their children and grandchildren is basically passable, and Jia Yingchun is a 13-year-old girl. Even Jia Tanchun She is also 11 years old and has reached the age of marriage. As the elder sister-in-law who has raised them for several years, Qin Tong has already kept this matter in mind and put it on the agenda.Of course, Jia Xichun, who is still in the single digits, and Lin Daiyu, who was assigned to Jia Baoyu by Jia's mother, these two sisters are purely here to make soy sauce, after all, they can't be left alone when they come out to play.

Before Xu Shi went out, Qin Tong specially told them to dress up, so Lan Xinhui and the others had already figured it out. After taking the carriage all the way, when they got off the carriage, the four little girls were still blushing. Red, which made Qin Tong laugh endlessly, and Jia Lan, who was out of the situation, frequently looked back and wondered.

There is no doubt about how good the girls of the Jia family are. Even if the Jia family is a veteran Shixun and they are not in the same camp as them, they still cannot stop the astonishing gazes of these mistresses and wives. After Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun were concubine daughters, some of the wives backed down, but Qin Tong was still enthusiastically pulled over by several wives to chat, and the four little girls also gained a few to chat with each other. buddy.

The group of people returned to the mansion with a good harvest. Even though they were a little regretful because they learned that they missed Xue's family entering the mansion, the four little girls still chirped with great interest to apply to Jia Mu. They also wanted to hold a flower viewing party. And so on to invite their new little sisters over to play at home.

Jia Mu herself is a person who likes to join in the fun, and she also likes to see the lively and energetic appearance of her little girls, so not only happily agreed to this request, but also gave the four little girls After coming up with an idea, at the instigation of Qin Tong and the coquettishness of the four little girls, Mother Jia reluctantly agreed to sponsor the activity fund for this unknown banquet.

Ever since the girls of Jia's family successfully entered the Qingliu social circle last time, Qin Tong began to receive invitations one after another. After consulting Jia's mother, Qin Tong brought Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun to these social occasions frequently .

Jia Xichun and Lin Daiyu, the group of soy sauce party sisters, decided to follow their mood. After a few times, the soy sauce party group added another member, Xue Baochai. In Aunt Xue's words, "Follow the sisters, Go out and see the world, so you don’t get bored at home all day and don’t get sick.” Qin Tong murmured in his heart for a long time, did the Xue family give up on Jia Baoyu, the wealthy son-in-law?Later, after hearing the rumors of "Golden Jade Match" in the mansion, Qin Tong realized that the Xue family was making two-handed preparations.

Qin Tong thought about it for a long time, and felt that since the Xue family was not determined to hang Xue Baochai on Jia Baoyu's crooked neck tree, then it was all right for her to support him secretly, after all, she had also raised her It's just that, counting the previous lives, these little girls have a great relationship with her, and she can't favor one another, so whenever she goes out, Qin Tong not only informs Sanchun and Daiyu He also sent people to Xue's house to invite Xue Baochai to go with him.

Now that Xue Baochai has opened the door of convenience, she can't wrong Lin Daiyu, so, not long after, Qin Tong opened a special route to Yangzhou for Lin Daiyu.I don't know what Lin Ruhai said to Lin Daiyu in the letter. Since then, Lin Daiyu has also seriously started to learn how to communicate with Qin Tong as a housekeeper.

After all, Qin Tong is just the elder sister-in-law, and she cannot take full control over the marriages of the little girls. Therefore, after meeting a suitable family, Qin Tong has to notify her parents again.

Jia Yingchun is easy to handle here.Although Mrs. Xing is the aunt, she is a stepmother and has never been in power, so her opinion is not important at all.Jia Amnesty has never cared about this only daughter, and naturally she doesn't care about her marriage. The capable niece and daughter-in-law have already made a list of candidate in-laws for him, and he is very happy to directly choose from them. One was selected, of course, this one was the highest-ranking official among the candidates.After all, he is a first-rank general, so his daughter is going to marry a dignitary.

After choosing a family, under Qin Tong's secret guidance, Yingchun filially made a suit of clothes and a pair of shoes for Jia She, and made some health soup for him from time to time.Xu is taking advantage of people's soft hands and eating others' soft mouths. Jia Amnesty recorded Yingchun under Mrs. Xing's name before her daughter's engagement, so Yingchun was also regarded as a prostitute in name. Although her husband's family knew the details, but in In this era, status is already very important. In the future, Yingchun will marry as a registered daughter-in-law, and it will look much better in face.

Jia Tanchun had some twists and turns here.In other words, this little girl herself is very assertive. When Qin Tong presented the candidate list to Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, this little girl first screened it out by herself, and she naturally had different considerations in different positions. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, the father and the aunt, naturally disagreed. Besides, there was a biological mother, Aunt Zhao, who jumped up and down next to her. Her only dissatisfaction was that she was also a girl from the Jia family. The in-law's status is low?All of a sudden, Erfang felt a little chaotic.In the end, it was Jia's mother who couldn't see it, so she decided on the final candidate. Of course, this candidate was also conveyed by Jia Tanchun to Jia's mother through Qin Tong.

Since Mrs. Wang is no more a show than Mrs. Xing, Jia Tanchun's attempt to imitate her second sister Yingchun and become a registered daughter-in-law failed in the end. In the past two years or so, Jia Huan was urged to study and learn martial arts rain or shine. Finally, in the year when Jia Tanchun got married, Jia Huan was also admitted as a scholar, which made "Rose" Jia Tanchun cry bitterly. .
