The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Chapter 53

"In your eyes, my place is a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair? In your eyes, do I have to put Brother Anise to death?" Mrs. Gu said coldly, "In that case, you should take Brother Anise and leave, don't be dirty. took my place!"

These words woke Jia Zhen up like a basin of cold water, and he glared at Aunt Tao, "Is your grandma missing your food and clothes or not letting you hire a doctor?! What does it mean to let Brother Hui go?" His eyes were very dangerous.

Aunt Tao flinched for a moment, and changed her words: "Your servant is wrong." Then she tried her best to tear Brother Hui off, and said in a panic, "Hurry up, kowtow to Grandma, and say that Auntie is wrong." It's about attaching importance to the eldest son, Brother Hui, and it depends on how you step down.

Completely forgetting that it is only natural for a concubine to kowtow to his aunt.

Gu Shi laughed angrily, and she didn't care about Jia Hui who was being suppressed by Aunt Tao, and said slowly to Jia Zhen: "It stands to reason that it is right for Brother Hui to greet his aunt. Because I am sympathetic to his frailty, I will follow the etiquette." It's all avoided, and now it's the second time he gave me a nibble." The first time was when Mrs. Gu just got married, he served tea to her in-laws and found out that her husband had an eldest son, "I'll take it as a greeting Yes. But sorry for Auntie, Auntie is just a bargain, since Brother Hui is the little master of the Ning Mansion, his knees can't be so soft."

Jia Zhen felt very guilty. Thinking about it carefully, before Mrs. Gu married, Brother Anise was often carried over to show to her mother. After Mrs. Gu married, Aunt Tao never brought Brother Anise to greet her aunt.

He said to Jia Hui seriously: "Brother Hui, give your mother a few bites, and say that you have never greeted your mother before, please don't be offended."

Mrs. Gu said indifferently: "No need. You don't have to come here in the future, lest Aunt Tao always think that I hurt him."

At the same time, Brother Hui cried loudly, "Grandma is not my mother, I only have one mother!"

Aunt Tao thumped.

Sure enough, Jia Zhen was furious, "Heart how do you teach children?!" In private, she called Aunt Tao her mother, and Jia Zhen doted on Aunt Tao, so she acquiesced.But not to recognize the aunt, that is a big disfilial piety!The aunt can even sue the officials!

Jia Zhen didn't think Mrs. Gu would sue the officials, but Brother Hui was seven years old this year, and he was already a young adult. It was just that he was weak and couldn't study, but he couldn't be unreasonable.He looked sadly and disappointedly at Brother Hui, seeing what Aunt Tao had taught him to be like, a bastard who was not filial to his aunt.

Back then, he shouldn't have expected Aunt Tao, who didn't understand anything, to make a good son!

He said disheartenedly: "You don't know how to teach children, Hongtao, so give Brother Anise to your grandma, so at least you can learn to keep your eyebrows high and your eyes low."

Aunt Tao bit her lip, she couldn't change what the uncle made up his mind.

Mrs. Gu refused without hesitation: "Brother Hui is already seven years old, there is no reason for a half-child to live with his aunt. What's more, Brother Hui gets sick every day or so, children are easily infected, so don't worry about it." Brother Rong, who is only over a year old."

Jia Zhen was in a dilemma, he didn't expect that the cousin's method would not work, and the Gu family made it clear that they would not raise Brother Hui.He said helplessly: "Okay, mother is just idle, I'll go and ask mother if he would like Brother Hui to have fun at her knees."

Aunt Tao was still reluctant, but it was much better than being raised by Mrs. Gu.

The next day Mrs. Xu heard Jia Zhen's request and didn't say anything. She just said lightly to send Brother Hui to the main room and let the maid take good care of her, so she didn't mention it anymore.

It was Jia Hu's birthday in November, because he was not a whole student, and he was a junior, so he didn't invite everyone from the Ning Mansion, so there was a banquet at night, and his family members talked and laughed.

During the dinner, Jia Hu said sincerely: "My son's birthday is the day of the mother's death. Let's toast my mother."

This is also a common practice. When listening to it for the first time, Mrs. Xu would still praise Jia Hu. After more and more times, she is used to it now.But Mrs. Liu could also tell that her son was sincere every time. She was moved in her heart, but she refused to show it. She just smiled and asked him to sit down.

Jia Lian was full of food, a little sleepy, and her eyes were hazy, so she obediently took her sister's hand and went to sleep.After Jia Ying left, Liu Shifang casually asked, "Hu'er, do you have an answer to what I told you last time?"

Jia Hu murmured, and then asked a little bluntly, "What's the matter?"

Mrs. Liu thought he was shy, and giggled: "That's what I asked you last time, what kind of wife do you like?"

Jia Hu really forgot about it, but now that she thinks about it, there is still time.He thought for a moment, then said: "Be assertive, don't be too pushy." The most important thing is that the gender is male.

"Then do you like something prettier?"

"It doesn't matter." Anyway, I will make trouble, "Mom, have you made up your mind?"

Liu said with a smile: "In that case, I will write to the Zhou family."

Or Zhou Ren's sister?Jia Hu frowned, determined to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Jia Hu went back to Songtao Courtyard, first went to the study to write a short letter, and ordered Hegui to send it to Prince Cheng's residence in person.Then he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes in thought.

Regarding the matter of Biyu Tower, the court showed that there was no such thing.No matter how the censor participates, after the papers of impeachment of the Rongguo Mansion and the people's struggle for profit are handed in, there will be no splash.Yes, since Jia Hu presented the cement, all the papers about Shenbiyulou disappeared, and it was changed to impeach Rongguo Mansion.Prince Li seemed to be fighting him.

But it was Zhuangyuan Building. Jia Hu remembered that the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building seemed to have something to say when King Beijing Jing invited him to drink last time.Just as he was about to call Hegui, he was annoyed to find that Hegui had gone to deliver the letter. Now that it was getting late, Jia Hu regained his composure and asked Le Sheng to read to him.

In ancient times, this is not good. The light is too poor at night, and the eyes are prone to dryness when reading books at night.

The extravagant Jia Hu thought of it while listening to the clear and clear music reading.

Before Jia Hu fell asleep, Hegui finally came back. "Have you sent the letter?" Jia Hu cheered up and asked.

"I sent it back to my uncle," He Gui added, "I personally sent it to the chief official of Chengwang's mansion."

"Did anyone else see it?"

"The slave specifically told the official loudly that he must hand it over to King Cheng, and the tail behind him must have heard it." He Gui was a little puzzled, shouldn't he avoid people's eyes and ears under normal circumstances?

Bah, no, under normal circumstances, it's fine to be generous, and you have to reveal what you're doing to the nail behind you.

Jia Hu didn't explain, and changed the subject to ask about the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building.

"That," He Guiyi patted his head, stuck out his tongue, and said, "The little one almost forgot."

Jia Hu didn't think much of it, He Gui was only a year or two older than him, and he hadn't yet reached the age of the crown, so he just helped out with some errands, he had to use Lin Zhixiao.Since the shopkeeper picked him to speak instead of reporting to him through his superiors, it is not a very important matter.

Sure enough, Hegui laughed, and said, "It's not a big deal. The shopkeeper said that he intends to ask the eldest maid next to the uncle to be his stepmother, no matter who it is, it's fine."

Jia Hu raised her eyebrows: "He's really good-natured." After a pause, he continued, "But how can the big maid next to Master allow him to pick and choose?"

He Gui hurriedly said: "The shopkeeper means that he doesn't choose, any one is fine."

Jia Hu recalled the life experience of the shopkeeper of Zhuangyuan Building.The shopkeeper's surname is Qian, and his name is Wei.Qian Wei is a calculating talent he found from his grandfather's Zhuangzi. In the past, his parents were relegated to Zhuangzi by the old lady.

As for the details of the family, I don't know.There are hundreds of shopkeepers under him, and each of them has been inspected for character, which took Jia Hu a lot of effort, how can he know everything well.

In the spirit of being responsible to the maids who have served him for a while, Jia Hu asked.

Hegui said like beans poured into a bamboo tube: "The treasurer of the money told the servants all the time. The one who married before was a peasant girl. When she gave birth to her first child, she had a difficult labor, and only one daughter was left behind. He was busy. I run a restaurant and don't think about getting married. My daughters are all lost to the old mother in the village. His father passed away in the early years. This year is not too old. It is just in his thirties. The mother at home is urgent, and I heard that the uncle is about to let someone go , I felt that the conditions were not bad, so I wanted to ask for one."

Jia Hu nodded.

Speaking of releasing the maid, it was Yuyan's previous words that made Jia Hu realize that Meizi had also reached her age.The second-class ones who had reached the age were simply released, as well as those given by the two fathers, and Jia Hu didn't want to stay with him either.

So he ordered: "If there are other people who come to ask, they must inquire clearly. I will ask you when I have time."

He Gui sighed, rubbed his hands again, and said cheekily: "Master, I am not young anymore, I am innocent, and people know hot and cold, you know this well. Look..."

Jia Hu glanced at his obscene appearance, suppressed a smile and said, "Which one do you like?"

He Gui smirked and said, "A second-class one, the one named Qu Mo."

The second-class Jia Hu has never paid attention to it, and only vaguely remembers it as a gentle and reticent girl. She was a little surprised that the eloquent He Gui actually fell in love with a quiet one, and thought that the husband and wife should complement each other, so he said: "I The girls around me were all brought from Jinling, and their parents and relatives are not around. You can ask Qu Mo what she thinks, if she agrees, you can tell your mother to help her out."

He Gui happily agreed.

Seeing that the New Year is coming soon, Jia Zhen went to Jia Hu for a drink with a look of grief and indignation.

Jia Hu had no choice but to entertain him, spelling out such a thing in his intermittent words, and then fell silent.

Speaking of this matter, it is still a follow-up to Aunt Tao's last time.

Brother Hui has been raised by the Xu family for more than a month, and he is getting better. Aunt Tao has gone crazy for some reason, and suddenly wants to take her son back.

After she had this idea, Brother Hui contracted the cold, and Aunt Tao took the opportunity to make a fuss, saying that his wife did not take good care of him, and that she missed Brother Hui.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu is not a good-natured person, she has tolerated Aunt Tao for a long time, and she asked Brother Hui a few times a day, she really took care of her feelings, so she ordered a strict investigation.

It turned out that Brother Hui's maid was responsible, but that maid was arranged by Aunt Tao.

During this period, Ange'er's condition worsened, and he developed a high fever, which he could not recover from.Jia Zhen ordered people to torture and interrogate her severely, but the maid couldn't bear to explain.All of this was actually handed down by Aunt Tao!

Jia Zhen burst into tears and said, "How could she give up! That's her own son! Originally, Brother Hui was weak, so she asked the people to lift the quilt in winter, and she opened the window again because she was afraid that Brother Hui would not be sick enough!"

"This is not treating a son, it is treating an enemy!"

There are still some unfinished words, which Jia Hu also deduced.It's nothing more than the fact that Brother Hui fell ill every three days, and it was also caused by Aunt Tao. His body, which could have been well-raised, was delayed for so many years, and it became more and more difficult to raise.

"Now the doctor says Brother Hui's time is numbered." Jia Zhen said haggardly.He has been so busy with his affairs these days that he even put down his books.

This year Jia Zhen had an extremely uneasy life, before the taste of the year was over, Brother Hui left.

Jia Zhen was very sad.Although he was greedy and lustful, he was really kind to his children, he couldn't blame his mother, who knew that the people arranged by his aunt would be cruel, so he vented his anger on Aunt Tao, causing her to die of illness.Even Mrs. Gu was angered by him, and gave her a good meal in front of his servants.

Just at this time, Jia Lang, who was a branch of the Ning family and Jia Zhen's generation, died of illness last year, leaving only a posthumous son. She named her Jia Qiang and raised her with Jia Rong.

After the Lantern Festival, a letter from the Zhou family arrived. The two parties exchanged Geng Tie a year ago, but there was a problem when combining the characters.
