The Jade of the Red Chamber

Chapter 62

When Jia's mother went back to the mansion to ask for medical research and medicine, there was another turmoil.Jia Zhen, Jia Rong and Jia Lian, who were guests in the Zhou mansion, also hurriedly said goodbye and came back.

Mother Jia drank the medicine and fell into a coma.The more Mrs. Wang thinks about it, the more wrong she is. How could a lowly maidservant, Aunt Zhou, become the sister of a second-rank official and the order of the second rank?Now he still recognizes that brat Lin Zhenyu as his godson?If she hadn't been familiar with Aunt Zhou's face for more than ten years, she couldn't believe it was real!Feeling suffocated and uncomfortable, the smiling face of that bitch appeared in front of my eyes from time to time, and I wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood so that it would be smoother!

Mrs. Xing was escorted back to her room by Sister Feng. Sister Feng always knew that the eldest wife was a little confused, so she dared not tell her the guesses in her mind.It's just that with her watching, Sister Feng thought about going to the old lady's place tomorrow to ask An Lue to sit for a while.

Tanchun lay down under the servant's service, feeling confused and annoyed, yesterday his wife said that she would take her to a banquet in Zhou's mansion, Tanchun was very happy, you must know that when a girl grows up, her mother will bring her in The eyes of the wives and girls in the capital are good. Only the prostitute daughter and the concubine daughter who are very favored have the opportunity to get this kind of opportunity. How can she not be happy and excited, but she didn't expect these things to happen.Tanchun thought that the old lady and the wife only became strange when they came from Mrs. Zhou. Could it be that they have some quarrel with Mrs. Zhou?Tanchun didn't have much contact with aunts in the past. She was raised by his wife, so what's the matter with being hot with aunts?Therefore, I have always only met Aunt Zhou's affection occasionally, and I didn't think about it at all.

Once the effect of the medicine was over, Mother Jia woke up, stepped on the nested mandarin ducks and hurriedly got up to take care of them. Mother Jia tremblingly pointed at the cage and murmured and talked for a long time before the mandarin ducks understood. It took a long time to turn on the lights. It took a lot of effort to find a small, thin, flat box of black wood from the corner of the corner. Yuanyang suppressed her doubts and hurriedly sent the things to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia motioned for Yuanyang to help her up, and Yuanyang bent down to put a pillow on the back of her body, a little worried: "Old lady?"

Tremblingly, she took off the beaded bead from her wrist, and there was an inconspicuous silver key hanging under the beaded bead, which was the key of the wooden box. Yuanyang was secretly shocked. She had served the old lady for so long, and she relied heavily on her. She knows the old lady's clothes and decorations and even her private room, but she has never seen these two things before, but they are still placed in the upper room, under her nose!

Open the wooden box, inside is a stack of papers, the mandarin duck on the top looks familiar, it seems to be a body deed!Feeling a little nervous, he took a step back politely, brought the hot tea and put it on the small table next to the bed curtain, not daring to disturb her.

With a trembling hand, Mother Jia picked up a piece of slightly yellowed paper underneath, and the name written on it was Zhou Hui!

Recalling that before the recognition ceremony yesterday, people around were talking about Mrs. Zhou's background, but they were all right. Jia's mother closed her eyes dejectedly. The body deed in her hand was useless. She knew her son-in-law Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai was the most thoughtful person. Such a character, he must be involved in this matter, how could he leave a loophole for her to use?What's more, I didn't expect that Aunt Zhou's younger brother turned out to be the left servant of the household department!With such a brother, Zhou's identity is not to say flawless, but it is also easy to make this body deed a piece of paper.

Mother Jia vaguely remembered that Zhou Hui had said that there was a brother in the family when she was her maid, and when she was given to Zheng'er as his aunt, she also heard from Mammy Lai that there was a skinny little boy who came to find Aunt Zhou, and was caught. Nanny Lai sneered because cats and dogs came to beat the autumn wind. At that time, Mother Jia was annoyed that the Zhou family didn't know what to do, so Nanny Lai wiped it out on her own initiative, saying that she was no longer in Rongfu.Naturally, Mother Jia didn't care about these little things. She didn't want to think that after more than 20 years, the son who had settled in a poor household would become a second-rank servant!

Now that the matter has come to an end, Mother Jia doesn't want to make trouble again, and doesn't want to admit that the Rongguo Mansion is indeed not as good as it used to be, and the Lin family is dirty first, if they turn against the Zhou family again, I'm afraid they will be discarded as abandoned sons by the cold and obedient prince!As a result, the Rongguo Mansion could no longer stand in the capital, and most of the property in Jinling's hometown was sold off by the Wang family on the grounds that the mother needed money!The glory of several generations of the Jia family was ruined by this generation!

Mother Jia wanted to rot the matter in her heart and calm things down, but Mrs. Wang couldn't swallow this breath.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Wang came to the main room angrily.Jia's mother didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and she was quite mentally weak and paralyzed, making her look haggard and old.

Mrs. Wang tossed and tossed for half the night last night, her heart was terribly depressed, she woke up at dawn today, her face was so gloomy that Jin Chuan'er and the others dared not breathe.

With a fierce face, he asked the maids to go out, leaving only the mandarin ducks waiting outside the green gauze cabinet.Mrs. Wang asked: "Old lady, what a bitch...how did Aunt Zhou become the elder sister of Zhou Shilang?"

Jia Mu ignored it, and leaned back on the large pillow of Scattered Flowers and Kesi, just staring.

Seeing Mother Jia's listless and unreasonable look, Mrs. Wang felt even more suffocated, choking on her chest, wanting to vomit on the old bastard's face.

Jia's mother's prestige was still there, Madam Wang suppressed her anger anyway, and asked again: "How did Aunt Zhou and that little boy of the Lin family get into each other this week? Old lady, do you want to say something? No more, one of us in the house It’s a terrible thing to run away from a concubine and lie to the imperial court official!” As he spoke, he stared straight at Jia’s mother, and the meaning was obvious: Old lady, you can tell what you know!Otherwise she would just have to wait.

Mother Jia's face darkened, the second daughter-in-law might not give up unless she made it clear.

Opening her mouth with difficulty, Mother Jia murmured, "Aunt Zhou does have a younger brother, and his boudoir name is indeed Zhou Hui." After finally saying this, Mother Jia let out a cry.

Yuanyang heard it outside, and hurried in to serve the old lady a cup of hot tea without caring about anything else.

It was also very difficult for Mrs. Wang to hear it. Fortunately, Mother Jia has had this symptom for several months, and she is more or less used to it. Furious: How can such a lowly maid be worthy!

Glancing at the mandarin ducks, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked what she had been thinking about last night, and sneered: "How did Aunt Zhou, a lowly maidservant, come out of the Duke's Mansion? If she said she planned it herself, the daughter-in-law wouldn't believe that she had This kind of ability! It must be that the Lin family got involved!"

Mother Jia closed her eyes. She really didn't want to tell her daughter-in-law about Lin Zhenyu's life experience. She didn't know about Wang's temperament. She was the most stupid. Just tidy up in the mansion!If this matter is spoken out, I'm afraid she will never end!Now is the time for the Rong Mansion to lie dormant and wait for the right time, and the empress in the palace, how can she stand up to her troubles?

Jia's mother finally understood that Lin Zhenyu hadn't been sick and lost her memory at all, and even these years he and Aunt Zhou, a wandering soul who had collided with corpses, were secretly connected!Ever since their brothers and sisters came to the capital, nothing good has happened!After thinking about it, there is no shadow of Lin Zhenyu and the Lin family. These two women hate Rongfu and hope that Rongfu will end well, so they mobilize the Lin family to make trouble together!

Thinking of this, she resented Lin Ruhai for being confused!My own father-in-law's family didn't help, but turned to this evil child. Otherwise, the two families would get married and give Daiyu to Baoyu, and my grandmother and uncle's family would not feel sorry for me!Now it's all ruined!

Mrs. Wang refused to let her go, and stubbornly came up, only staring at Jia Mu.

At this moment, it was Jia Zheng who came in with a sullen face, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter? My son also wants to know."

Yesterday Jia Zheng didn't want to go to Zhou's house to join in the fun, recalling the past and feeling depressed, he went to the Jiuyan Pavilion where Jia Zhen had taken before to drink, not wanting to get drunk there.Woke up this morning and returned to the mansion, and heard that the old lady fell ill in the Zhou mansion last night. Jia Zheng was a dutiful son, so he hurriedly cleaned up and rushed to Jia Mu to go to the room.

When he entered the courtyard, he asked a few big girls to sit on the flower porch of the side room and gossip. Jia Zheng frowned and entered the room. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Mrs. Wang inside saying "Aunt Zhou" and "Lin's family", feeling suspicious in his heart. There is also the "Out of the Duke's Mansion", and the mind is tumbling!Only then did the scene just now happen.

Mother Jia's face turned pale, and she opened her cloudy old eyes to look at this son who had high hopes, feeling pain in her heart, and she couldn't stop saying this.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng had been in harmony for a long time, and she was not afraid to see Jia Zheng coming in. She stood up and said, "Master." She stared at Jia Mu again.

This Lin Mansion has become a thorn in her heart since Jia Min entered the door, and it hurts her heart every now and then!I think she is also the concubine daughter of the Wang family, and she was a head shorter than Jia Min when she was not out of the house. Everyone knows that the young girls of the Rongguo Mansion are talented, beautiful, virtuous, and she is a model of noble girls in the capital; she is not convinced, and enters the door She is a sister-in-law, but she never expected her status to be even lower than Jia Min's. Her in-laws and husbands hold her in their hands like a treasure!

It was not easy for the group of mules to go out, but they were promised to the Lin family, whose foundation was not weaker than the Jia family, not to mention that Lin Ruhai was praised by the saint for his good looks, personable, talented and virtuous. The dull and solemn Jia Zheng, such a person is obviously more in line with the girl's fantasy of the girl in her spring boudoir dream, how can she not make her hate it?Not to mention that Jia Min's dowry is the envy of every girl, it's really red makeup, it's a few streets better than her!Fortunately, Jia Min's difficulty in having a child later made her vent her anger, but after having a child, she was a short-lived ghost!As soon as Mrs. Wang felt more comfortable, the old lady wanted to pick up the Lin family's cub. Who would show Lin Daiyu's delicate appearance like a coquettish girl, just like her consumptive mother?And that adopted evil seed, the whole Lin family really blocked her heart!

Mother Jia waved her hand and ordered the mandarin ducks to go out, her heart fluttered, she looked at her son, stumbled and said indistinctly: "Aunt Zhou escaped from the mansion, she is now Zhou Shilang's sister, and she has just been granted a second-rank order!...Lin Zhenyu is Aunt Zhou The son I gave birth to is the brother Jue back then!"

Jia Zheng was stunned with a "boom" in his head, and he was about to fall to the ground as soon as his eyes went dark. He staggered a few steps and supported the bedpost to stand still. He stared blankly at his mother, staring in disbelief.

He didn't have a deep impression of Jia Jue who was taken away by his younger sister and "died on the boat", but he never expected that that mum little brother was actually Lin Zhenyu, whom he loved so much today!The old lady has lied to him for so many years!

Jia Zheng loved reading since he was a child, but his talent was not high, so he got the official position of Wuping Yuanwailang because of this. Because of this, he was secretly ridiculed by those scholars. If you don't want to be stubborn, otherwise you wouldn't have forced Jia Zhu to be so tight and exhausted your life!Baoyu hated that iron could not be made into steel, because Jia Zhu's matter came first, and the old lady was protecting him, so Jia Zheng didn't dare to push too hard, Huan'er was stubborn and stupid, he looked down on him, but he often lamented that there was no such luck in his life !That's why he cares so much about the pregnant concubine in the outer study room, and wants to raise a son who is worthy!

But he didn't want Lin Zhenyu, who made him envy Lin Hai's son with such an outstanding talent, to be his own!He is over half a hundred years old, and he has never cared about common affairs. Now he reluctantly bows his knees to serve the loyal prince, doesn't he just want to keep his ancestors' foundation and wait for his sons to inherit the glory!He thinks he only has this kind of mind, only this kind of desire!

Seeing her son being greatly shocked, Jia's mother was so anxious that she uttered "Roar, Zheng...Zheng'er" in her throat.

Jia Zheng laughed bitterly, and cried, "The old lady has kept her son from suffering!"

Mrs. Wang stared at Mother Jia in disbelief at first, then her eyes were bloodshot, as if she saw a murderer and an enemy, she yelled a few times!

Jia Zheng thought of Lin Zhenyu, who was awarded a Jinshi when he was young, and is now a gentle and elegant man, the more he thought about it, the more he was unwilling!his son!Why are you at the Lin family!Going out with red face and eyes!

Mother Jia gasped for a few moments, grabbed the clothes of her second son, shook her head dejectedly, and then hissed after a while, "Don't go! It's useless!"

Jia Zheng sat down on the footrest, crying and laughing.

Mrs. Wang only felt that she had worked hard all her life, but she was kept in the dark by this old bastard like a fool!Then Lin Zhenyu is the son of that bitch, Aunt Zhou!Ha, the two of them recognized each other, so beautiful!I hated Jiamu so much in my heart that she came up to pull the old lady regardless, with snot and tears running down her face, and asked the old lady to give her an explanation.

How could an old and sick body like Jia's mother stand up to her shaking, she would roll her eyes a few times!

When Jia Zheng saw it, he kicked Mrs. Wang's chest. He was angry. This matter must have been "credited" by the Wang family. After decades of marriage, he knew Wang's good-natured nature. If it wasn't for her being bad, how could her son become someone else's son for no reason!He seemed to have forgotten his indifference and indifference when the news of Jia Jue's death came.

Mrs. Wang vomited out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", the oppression in her chest dissipated a lot, and she became clearer, as if she had been hit too hard, she sat on the ground with disheveled hair, and laughed a few times, pointing Pointing at Jia Zheng's nose, he grinned grimly: "Ha! What do you think is the identity of the Zhou family bitch? She is a widow! A widow whose husband died! And the son of the Lin family! But calling Lin Ruhai's father is very happy! You are dismissed from office. And he deserves the credit! You two, you forced my Zhuer to death, and my Yuanchun! You also wished to plant the disaster of the Lin family on my Baoyu!..."

The maids and mother-in-law outside were all attracted by the sound of chaos and chaos inside, and they all guessed in their hearts what was going on?

After a long while, Jia Zheng's clothes were messy, his face was pale, and his eyes were red. He ordered a few rough women to go in and take the second wife back to the house without asking anyone to visit. Watch out, don't call out and hurt anyone."

During this period of time, Jia Zheng also knew some common things, and this matter should not be publicized. There was a rift between the Rong Mansion and the Lin family, and they had no evidence--the letter from the younger sister and Aunt Zhou's body deed did not explain anything, Jia Min After many years of death, Aunt Zhou's identity was confirmed by Yukou.Jinshang and King Jing stood on the side of the Lin family, shouting out would only make people laugh, and might cause disaster, so they folded their arms and hid them in their sleeves!

……

The core members of the Rong Mansion tore their faces apart, and became even more eccentric, traveling farther and farther away, and more thoughtful about planning.

However, the Lin family was in a hurry because of Daiyu's affairs. Several men were frowning, but it was Shui Yang's time to tell Zhenyu about the old sage in private. It's too late to get engaged after filial piety, after all, the eldest son of the Xi family is not young.

Lin Ruhai, Zhenyu, and Fuyu were reluctant and had no choice but Zhenyu softened in front of Xi Shuangyou, showing a faint look of willingness.

Xi Shuangyou's eyes were sharp, and his mind was active, so he couldn't help but write a letter to report to his parents!Mrs. Xi and Mrs. Xi were also happy from ear to ear, and hurriedly told the whole house to be busy with the arrangement, and the Second Uncle Xi's house in the capital was also very busy.

The happier and busier the Xi family was, the more gloomy the expressions of the three men in the Lin family were...
