Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Chapter 109 Filling



Chapter 109 Filling

Jia Amnesty sold his antiques for 5 taels of silver. He wanted to let the old lady see it so that he could make up for it, but it was reported to Mrs. Wang, who was having a headache because she wanted to pay 5 taels. Where was he willing to let Jia Shen fulfill his wish, he blocked the news and did not let Jia Shen hear it.

Jia Amnesty didn't dare to question the old lady, so he turned his anger on Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen hated her deeply, but she was helpless, and the rift between husband and wife deepened.

Now that all the money has been collected, the construction of Rongguo Mansion has started, because there is a lot of noise in the Huifang Garden behind Ningguo Mansion, and Jia Lu's Yuanzhong Garden happens to be in Huifang Garden. He was also included in the family-saving villa and was deeply disturbed.

Jia Jing was distressed, so she asked Jia Lu to leave the courtyard and settled in a secluded courtyard in the northeast corner, together with her gentlemen, this place was far from Rongguo Mansion, but it was quiet and comfortable.

On the side of Rongguo Mansion, it was originally thought that Prime Minister Jia Lian would be in charge of external affairs, Wang Xifeng would be in charge of internal affairs, and Mr. Shan Yezi would be in charge of overall management.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lian was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Officials' Examination and Purification Department. Although he was only the sixth grade, two grades lower than the five grades he donated, he was really lacking. It is rare to have a fat and water position to work in the official department.

With this position, how can I do things at home? Moreover, not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, the official position has changed a lot, and the official department is also busy with work, so I went to the official department immediately.

Because it was a serious job and a promising job, the entire family was shocked. Everyone thought that Jia Lian's appointment was after the eldest girl became a concubine, and it must be because of the concubine's favor. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were even more sought after.

Mrs. Wang was not very satisfied. Her daughter's favor did not go to Baoyu, but to Jia Lian. Looking at the ignorant Baoyu, she could only sigh and regret that Baoyu was still young and had no official career. He couldn't reach him, and he regretted that his eldest son Jia Zhu died early. If Jia Zhu was still alive, he would not be as respectable as Jia Lian now when he entered the official position through the imperial examination.

Even Jia's mother and Jia Zheng were not very satisfied. Since Yuan Chun was favored, why didn't she support her old father?

It's just that these three people, one is a living Bodhisattva, one is a kind old grandmother, and the other is a dignified gentleman, even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they can't stop the junior's future, so they can only let him go.

Everyone said it was the empress' grace, even Wang Xifeng thought so, she was always close to the powerful, seeing her aunt was so prominent, so she also joined her.

Only Jia Lian knew that it was Lin Ruhai's legacy, and he also knew the virtues of everyone in Jia's family. If he knew that it was Uncle Lin's ability to bother Sister Lin again, wouldn't it be a violation of his vow to take good care of Sister Lin?So, without speaking, let others guess.

Here, leaving Jia Lian, only Wang Xifeng was left alone. Even Wang Xifeng, who is a hard-working man, couldn't bear it anymore.

Mother Jia has always loved her very much, so she naturally saw it. She called Jia Lian over and scolded her. What's the use if your own master doesn't even look down on it!

Wang Xifeng was forced to rest for two days.

But the matter of visiting relatives' villa cannot be delayed. Mother Jia originally thought that Mrs. Chen was young and physically strong, so she let her take charge, and also thought that the men in her family were not ordinary things, so she wanted to let the family in the next door Brother Zhen came to help one or two.

But Mrs. Wang was worried. She said that the Chen family was of good character, but after all, she came from a small family, unlike Wang Xifeng who is used to money. When building a family-friendly villa, the money in her hands flows like water every day. Every day is tens of thousands of times, what should I do if my heart flutters for a while?

This is her girl's decency, she can't delay at will, so she recommended herself to be a director. Mrs. Chen was disgusted with this thankless job, so she just let go.

But Mrs. Wang is used to being a benevolent bodhisattva. The maids and women are a little bit poorer, and the money under Mrs. Wang's hands doubles and flows out, and half of the six or seven million taels of silver is spent.Mrs. Wang couldn't see it, so she had to pull Wang Xifeng over again.

Although Wang Xifeng tried his best to turn the tide, Jia Zhen was not so innocent after all the previous expenses were too much. If he passed 1 taels, he would get hundreds of 1000 taels of extra money. He was an outsider, so it was impossible for him to pay the money, so he just reached in. ask for money.

Mrs. Wang spent a lot of money to do charity before, but she didn't pick up afterward.

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to secretly use her own private house to make up for it. At first she asked Aunt Xue for 10 taels, but now she can only borrow another 10 taels shamelessly. Fortunately, Aunt Xue lost her chance to enter the palace since Baochai. , so he wanted to betroth Baochai to Baoyu, and Yuanchun granted her empress, which made her more powerful, so she agreed.

Even Wang Xifeng, in order to please her aunt, saved 2 taels of silver. She is a junior after all, and Mrs. Wang didn't dare to ask for more out of face.

Just like that, stuffing everything and stuffing everything, finally got things done.

On this day, in winter, the construction of the family-senting villa is about to be completed, and it is almost the end of the year. As the new year is over, the mother-in-law will be welcomed back to the house. , Then set up wine and invited the tribe to come and have a feast.

Unfortunately, Jia Lu ate too much the night before, accumulated food for a while, and felt uncomfortable the next day. Everyone in the Ning Mansion was worried, so they invited the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine, so they were not in the mood to attend the banquet. What's more, this time was no different from the previous Jia Zheng's birthday banquet. Many clansmen and relatives and friends came, and it was too lively. It was not for people like them who keep their filial piety, so everyone in the Ning Mansion refused.

Coincidentally, because of the cleaning and tidying up of the family's family's villa, Rongguo Mansion, a big and successful family, was short of manpower, so they came to invite some servants from Ningguo Mansion who had been there for many years to help them.

Jia Lu thought about Jiao Qian, Mo Ran and four second-class maids who had been with her all the time, and had never gone out to play. They were young and curious, so she let them go and play.

Jiao Qian insisted that she was getting old, so she didn't go there. Mo Ran used to live in the old lady's house in Rongguo Mansion. Later, Jia Lu didn't live in Rongguo Mansion, so she followed her. Her old lady and good sisters were all in the mansion there. Naturally, there is nothing that should not be done.

As for the four second-class little maids, they are peaches, oranges, oranges, and pears.

Taozi is in charge of eating soup and medicine, and works with Sun Nanny and Zhao Nanny. Orange is in charge of clothes, handkerchiefs and other needles and threads. Needlework is the best. Orange is in charge of monthly jewelry, and works with Li Nanny. Because he often helps girls go shopping and has a good relationship with Qian Momo, they are all outstanding.

These people were all selected when Mrs. Han was worried about Jia Lu in the 39th year of Kangsheng. After two years of training, Mrs. Han left. Jia Jing was worried that Jia Lu would not be taken care of, so he brought these people up in advance. Now he is only ten years old, about the same age as Jia Lu. Although he is smart, he is still a little younger.
