The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

Chapter 59

After another Spring Festival without much festiveness, Jia's family came out with filial piety, and also ushered in the autumn every three years. This year, both Lin Xin and Xing's brothers came to an end, and Jingzhong's family school also came. Many people, these people were arranged by Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, who directly arranged them in a large courtyard of the ancestral house.

Xing Yue and Liu Shi discussed the choice of Jia Tanchun's son-in-law from Jiangnan, so the two also started to move, and they also attached great importance to this imperial examination. Now that Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan have achieved fame, Tanchun said It's easy to talk about my dear, but Xing Yue and Liu's did not change their original intentions, and they did not intend to betroth Tanchun to the descendants of those honorable families in Beijing.

Not all the honorable families in Beijing are like the Jia family in the book. There are still many families with real power. It's only been three years, and people in central Beijing still remember Mrs. Shi's incomprehension.

Afraid that Tanchun would feel angry, Xing Yue and Liu called Tanchun to them and explained to them. Tanchun is a smart person, and he knew that he was the lowest of the girls in the two families. Although she is considered a prostitute now, she is only recorded under the name of Ping Wife. In terms of this alone, she is not as good as Yingchun, and Yingchun also has the father of a first-rank general.

She knew that choosing among the Jiangnan Juzi was the best choice for her. Those who were able to get married without getting married were at least a little bit better than ordinary people. With the support of their family in the future, they were not afraid that they would not be able to stand out.

Before the results of the imperial examination came out, Xing Yue and Liu asked people to inquire about the situation of the candidates. In the end, two scholars named Song Shuqing and Li Ming became their candidates. Shao, the second son, now, has a firm personality, is not lacking in tact, and has a handsome appearance. Li Ming, the son of the county magistrate, the third son in the family, is now 17 years old, with outstanding talents and a little publicity.

Song Shuqing's hometown is the county where Li Yunxiang is the magistrate. Mrs. Xing Yue and Liu took Tanchun to find her eldest aunt to inquire about her family situation. Both parents of the Song family are there, three brothers, and all three brothers have read As for the book, the boss’s aptitude is not good enough to take the imperial examination. After studying for a few years, he went home to farm. Song Shuqing and his younger brother Song Shuming are indeed good at studying. The younger brother Song Shuming is also a scholar now. Landlords are not counted, the family has [-] mu of land, parents, brother and sister-in-law are all reasonable people, Li Yunxiang's evaluation of this family is also good.

Regarding Li Ming, they also sent people to inquire about it. Li Ming had two elder brothers who were concubines, and the two elder brothers were not as good as him. The elder sister-in-law wanted to tell Li Ming about her cousin, but Li Ming's mother I want to give my niece to my son.Both Xing Yue and Mrs. Liu are discerning people, and they knew that Li Ming's mother was not a good person.

After the test results came out, even though Li Ming was ranked second, Xing Yue and Liu Shi still chose Song Shuqing and dragged Li Yunxiang to be a matchmaker. God, make a decision, and the marriage was settled in a few days.

When the rankings for this subject were released, the family sent a few servants to look at the rankings, firstly to see the rankings of their own children, and secondly to see the situation of the two people.In this exam, Jia Jia’s family obviously did not attend class, so it was much better. More than ten people came, and more than half of them have achieved fame. Happy, I gave a lot of congratulatory gifts to the two of them, and another congratulatory gift to the Xing family.

In ancient times, the status of her natal family determined her status in her husband's family. Xing Yue was not welcomed by the old lady. In the final analysis, Xing Yue did not have a strong natal family to support her.But these are not important to Xing Yue now, what is important is that she changed the fate of the Xing family and Xing Xiuyan.

After Xing Yue rejected the Guo family's marriage proposal, Xing Xiuyan was betrothed to Xu Cheng, a classmate of her brothers' classmate. Xu Cheng also passed the exam, ranking higher than the Xing brothers, and they only waited for the marriage after the exam next year.

Many of the students from Jia's family who came to Jiangnan to take the scientific examination, as well as the students from Jia's Jiangnan family school, were going to Beijing to catch up with the examination. Jia She simply let these people go with them.

Another Spring Festival passed in a blink of an eye, and the candidates took part in the examination. Maybe this year is a lucky year for the Jia family. The Xing family brothers, Song Shuqing, and Xu Cheng are all well-known in the gang. Song Shuqing, Xu Cheng, and Xing Xiuming all entered the second-tier. Even though Xing Xiuming was the last in the Erjia, he was also a Erjia, a good scholar, and he entered the Hanlin Academy to study.

The Xing family brothers are very grateful to their eldest aunt. They still remember that their aunt treated them as adults more than ten years ago and supported his family. Without Xing Yue, they would not be where they are today. They both knelt down and kowtowed to Xing Yue to express their gratitude. .

Jia She's [-]th birthday, the whole family celebrated livelyly. Jia Lian's evaluation as the magistrate of Datong was good, and he succeeded the magistrate of Datong. Although both Xing Yue and Jia She hoped that Jia Lian could be transferred to Beijing, the prefecture of Datong has become more and more unstable in recent years. .

The Holy Majesty copied the Zhen family, and some honorable families, and other families gritted their teeth and returned Ku Yin, the Shi family, and the Wang family. Now the Shi family is almost an empty shell, and Shi*yun’s dowry has also been reduced a lot. , only 64 liters, 1000 taels of silver in the press box, but no one can say anything else, because the dowry of the pro-daughter of Hou Ye's family is the same as Shi *yun's dowry.However, this made the servants of the Jia family who had seen Wang Xifeng's dowry and Yan Peining's dowry despise Shi *yun a little bit.

Mrs. Liu didn't control Baoyu, but that didn't mean she wouldn't let her daughter-in-law set the rules. Shi *yun soon realized that marrying Jia Baoyu was not as good as she imagined. It is hard to set rules with Liu, while Jia Baoyu is drunk and lying on the lap of a beauty, hanging out with maids and aunts all day long.

Within three months of entering the house, Yuanyang was raised as an aunt. Yuanyang was given to Baoyu by the old lady. Shi *yun knew about Yuanyang. She was also called Sister Yuanyang in the early years. How angry, how helpless, what can be done, her mother's family will not come forward to make decisions for her, and after a few troubles, she is rejected by Jia Baoyu, so she can hold back tears and live.

Mrs. Liu soon realized that Shi *yun was not good at housekeeping, so she kindly sent a nun to teach her, but Shi *yun obviously didn't like these things, and her knowledge was scattered. Yes, the annoyed Mrs. Liu just scolded for not knowing good people, although Mrs. Liu didn't have much good intentions, Shi *yun's methods were far from Yuanyang's, and it would only be lively if they were evenly matched.

So he bribed the girl next to Shi *yun, and secretly provoked the relationship between Shi *yun and Yuanyang, which made Shi*yun even more displeased with Yuanyang, and lost a child in another dispute.This caused Shi*yun and Yuanyang to have a death worry. After this, Shi*yun faded away from the previous delicate and kind-hearted. After suffering a few losses, the subordinates were evenly matched.

Under the pressure of the two, Jia Baoyu's intercourse was either aborted or killed. None of them could give birth to a child alive, and Liu watched from the sidelines.Jia Zheng didn't care about the affairs of the inner house, so he just let Baoyu's room continue to quarrel like this. Of course, Mrs. Liu would not spread these rumors to Jia Zheng's ears.

After Baoyu's marriage, it was Tanchun's turn to get married. For Song Shuqing's sake, Liu Shiming only gave 64 a dowry. There is a Zhuangzi, a shop, a house in the middle of Beijing, and a house that enters three times. The silver in the box is only 64 taels. This dowry is considered medium even in Beijing.

In private, Mrs. Liu gave her the 5000 taels left by the old lady to Tanchun, and added 2000 taels of silver, plus Aunt Zhao’s savings over the years, brother Jia Huan’s, and Xing Yue’s makeup. He collected 9000 taels of silver and asked Tanchun to keep it, and told Tanchun that if Song Shuqing wanted to use the silver, don't be stingy.

Jia Huan and Jia Cong are both 15 years old, and Xing Yue and Liu Shi are busy again, marrying their daughters-in-law. There is also a soft concubine in it, and it is easy to talk about marriage. Xing Yue ordered her a concubine from a second-rank family, who was well-bred. When Jia Cong was 17 years old, the two got married.

Jia Huan was good-looking and famous, so it was easy to talk about marriage, but his status was a bit low. Both Liu and Aunt Zhao were not satisfied, especially when they knew who Jia Cong was betrothed to, they were even more dissatisfied. Later, Jia Huan He simply told the two of them that it would not be too late to say goodbye after he passed the scientific examination, and the two agreed when they thought about when Jia Huan would be, and it would not be too late to say goodbye.

Xing Yue is already too busy to take care of the second room. Yingchun is about to give birth, and she is worried all day long. In ancient times, women are fighting for their lives, especially women in the palace. Not only do they have to fight with God Life, but also guard against villains.

At noon on September [-]th, after a day and a night of struggle, Yingchun finally gave birth to the twelve sons of the emperor. Now that the princes are married and have the eldest son, this little prince does not pose a threat to the prince. Even so, Yingchun kept a low profile in the palace, and she hoped that the child would grow up in the future, so that she could live with her son out of the palace and meet her family at will.

Jia Cong and Jia Huan are both candidates in the next scientific examination. However, they were going to take part in the examination and were stopped by their father. Jia Huan finally got engaged and found out that they were the daughters of a fifth-rank family. .

The north has been unstable for the past few years, and Jia Lian's position has become more and more important. The Holy Majesty finally decided to use troops against the north. After three years, he defeated the northern Tartars. The title can also be inherited for three generations, plus the title of the third-class general who will be inherited in the future. Jia Lian's first two sons have titles to be inherited. After staying in Beijing, Xing Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally handed over the housekeeper.

When Jia Amnesty was 65 years old, Jia Lian became the prince. Over the years, Jia Amnesty paid more attention to his body, because he wanted the living to see his youngest daughter get married, and Jia Lian was jealous of his dedication to Jia Wan's marriage. In the end, Jia Wan married into the eldest son of a cabinet scholar family.Jia Wan's dowry was 120 liters, and it was full. Except for Xing Yue's private house, the antique calligraphy and paintings inside were all high-quality goods from Jia She's private treasury. Li Xingyue gave Jia Wan 1 taels of silver, and the shop and Zhuangzi under his name gave two-thirds. Xing Yue didn't know how much Jia Amnesty gave, but it must have been quite a lot.

Jia She lived to be 68 years old, which was a long-lived person in ancient times. Jia Lian, Jia Cong and Dingyou took their wives and children back to the south with their families.

In order not to embarrass Jia Lian and Jia Cong, Xing Yue made the decision to separate the family for the two sons after Jia Amnesty's filial piety. She lived with Jia Lian and became an old lady. Apart from teasing her grandson, she just read with the scripture book, and then her eyes were blurred, so she asked her to listen to the eloquent storytellers, anyway, she didn't want to cause trouble for Jia Lian, and didn't make trouble for Yan Peining.

Jia Cong is also up-to-date, and has been working in the Ministry of Rites. He started as the head of the Ministry of Rites and has been an official in the Ministry of Rites all his life.

It's not that Xing Yue didn't plan to walk around, but unfortunately, due to feudal etiquette, Xing Yue can't go far, and can only go around the suburbs of Kyoto and Jinling, which is happier than ordinary women.

Xing Yue is a long-lived person. She lived to be 80 years old. She has a lot of children and grandchildren. She has seen her great-great-grandchildren. Xing Yue closed her eyes in a dream.Opening her eyes again, she saw the white walls of the hospital and the pungent smell of disinfectant. Xing Yue shook her head, it seemed that she had read too much about the Red Mansion, and she even dreamed that she had entered the Red Mansion by herself.

The author has something to say: What follows is the extra episode

60 episode one

Before Shi Xiangyun married Jia Baoyu, her mind was full of romantic dramas sung in operas, and she worked hard to study piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and embroidery, but the housekeeper didn't learn a single thing. Even if her aunt was willing to teach, she wouldn't. Willing to learn, Baoyu hates those housekeepers the most.Although the nanny repeatedly reminded him, Shi Xiangyun didn't care, and he just wanted to live a happy life with Jia Baoyu, neither envious of mandarin ducks nor immortals.

However, this sweet dream was shattered within two days after getting married. Shi Xiangyun's heart was sour when the servant girl next to Baoyu gave her a gift, and she finally endured it. She didn't show any consideration, and within a month, her dowry girl climbed onto Jia Baoyu's bed.When Shi Xiangyun found out, he swallowed a sigh of relief. This girl had passed the Ming road, and people watched her in private to prevent her from meeting Baoyu.

What kind of temperament is Baoyu? Doing rough work, after a year, this delicate beauty was wasted to such an extent that she didn't dare to appear in front of Baoyu.

Shi Xiangyun did not put the fault of this matter on Jia Baoyu's head, but resented his aunt, and just didn't want to see her get better. The dowry girls arranged for her were all restless, and hated her uncle and aunt It's going to die, except for the nanny and Cuilu, all the maids and women serving Shi Xiangyun are members of the Shi family. Shi Xiangyun's behavior was reported back to the Shi family, and the wife of the Shi family simply put her hands on her when she was angry, and Shi Xiangyun was not blamed. He was so competitive that he couldn't even control the dowry girl.

Three months later, Jia Baoyu told her that she wanted to raise Yuanyang as an aunt. Yuanyang was the old lady's big girl, and her last words were given to Baoyu. She had an unusual status. Shi Xiangyun couldn't refuse, suppressing the hatred in his heart, and nodded agree.

Yuanyang has been operating in the mansion for a long time, especially the maids around Baoyu, who are all headed by Yuanyang. While everyone was still watching, Shi Xiangyun's maid climbed on the bed, leaving everyone with the impression that they are incapable of being bullied.

Only Yuanyang doesn't think so. After staying with the old lady for such a long time, how could she underestimate the daughter of the Shi family? Instead, they can live in peace and agree with each other.

Why did Mrs. Liu see the tranquility in Baoyu's room, and let Shi Xiangyun and Yuanyang join hands to deal with her? After Tanchun's marriage, Mrs. Liu freed up her hands to deal with the two of them. The things left for Baoyu were handed over to Shi Xiangyun, and he didn't say anything on the surface. In private, people asked the old lady to leave a lot of things for Baoyu, and let Yuanyang keep the news and spread it to Cuilu and Nanny. .

People also said that this mandarin duck is so favored, and it was given by the old lady. Even if the mandarin duck made a mistake, Shi Xiangyun couldn't do anything to her. The jealousy of a man, this is also serving a man, who doesn't feel sour, gradually Shi Xiangyun changed, from a simple girl full of expectations for married life to an ugly housewife.

Shi Xiangyun's status in historians is embarrassing. Naturally, he does not lack the ambition to be the master of the house. After the outer cover is worn away, this naked ambition is exposed. He grew up beside the old lady, and the old lady's methods have also been learned. After a few minutes, they were all used at this time to deal with Baoyu's backyard.

After all, it is not as good as the mandarin duck who stayed with the old lady for a longer time, and suffered many losses in front of the mandarin duck. However, Shi Xiangyun also cried in front of Baoyu, and took back from the mandarin duck what the old lady gave Baoyu in private, and let the mandarin duck Angrily vomiting blood.

The two fought to the death in private, in order to impress Baoyu in front of him, this matter did not hit Baoyu in front of him, and Baoyu always thought that his inner house was harmonious.

Shi Xiangyun became more and more mature in the confrontation with Yuanyang, and her methods became more subtle. She did not prevent Baoyu from coming back from the outside, as long as she didn't get the eldest son, she was not afraid of anything.

Shi Xiangyun, who came back to his senses, had a lot of trust in this nanny. With the help of the nanny, Shi Xiangyun's methods became more sophisticated. The women in Baoyu's inner house all attached themselves to Shi Xiangyun and Jin Yuanyang in order to survive. There are three factions, one for Shi Xiangyun and one for Yuanyang. There are also some who are wise enough to protect themselves and don't join Baoyu's side.

Those who just came in, relying on Baoyu's favor, those who dared to provoke Shi Xiangyun and Yuanyang, all of them were destined to fall out of favor and be bullied by others at will, and many of them couldn't bear it, and died tragically in the inner house.

Shi Xiangyun and Yuanyang took very strict precautions against the women in the back house. Before they had children, no one else could have children. You can see it from above.

Shi Xiangyun's understanding of Jia's family was still in her childhood. She knew Jia Huan and Jia Cong's status in Jia's family back then, and the servants could bully them at will.She didn't know that the rules in Jia's family school were that regardless of their background, as long as they were capable, they would be given preferential treatment.Yuanyang has this idea in mind, as long as his son is promising in the future, he will not worry about his future.

Both of them took precautions against the outside world, and both hoped that they could conceive a child. Until the third year, they became pregnant together. Yuanyang became cautious since she became pregnant, and did not get involved in any messy things. Shi Xiangyun was the head of the house. She has to deal with all the big and small matters in Baoyu's room. Shi Xiangyun, who has tasted the beauty of power, would never hand over power to others. One fall, a well-formed male fetus was miscarried, and the body was injured, and there would be no more children in the future. Shi Xiangyun cried to death, Baoyu was very disappointed.

Jia Zheng was furious, and Liu ordered people to investigate the matter, and covered up Shi Xiangyun and Yuanyang's methods a little bit, and handed over the evidence of other people's private methods to Baoyu, so that Baoyu was disappointed with the wives and concubines in the back house, and sent them away. Most of the aunts in the room also made Baoyu feel disgusted with women, and felt more and more that women would become dead fish eyes when they got married.

Baoyu will not get Aunt Tongfang back from the takeaway, but look for men outside, such as actors, Qidi, etc., hang out all day, even Xiaoyue's Shi Xiangyun and the pregnant mandarin duck are gone, He has lost all the joy of being a father, and what is left is only disappointment and loneliness.

Since Shi Xiangyun had a miscarriage, Yuanyang has become more and more cautious, praying that God will let their mother and child be safe. All this is illusory, Shi Xiangyun has paid attention to leaving the mother and keeping the child. After Liu knew about it, she helped behind the scenes. After a day and a night, Yuanyang struggled to give birth to a boy, but unfortunately she didn't even see it.

When the child was born, Baoyu was not with him. Shi Xiangyun sent people to search outside for a day and a night, but he didn't know where Jia Baoyu took the servant. Jia Baoyu didn't come back until a few days later.

Jia Baoyu went to the temple. There was a handsome monk in the temple who had a good relationship with Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu stayed in the temple for a few days under the monk's private entanglement. After returning home, he faced the news that he had a son. , and the harsh voices of parents and wives.He didn't even catch up with his own son's wash, Jia Zheng asked him, where did he go these days?

Jia Baoyu faltered and couldn't speak. Seeing Jia Baoyu like this, Jia Zheng knew he had done nothing good, so he severely interrogated the servants who followed Baoyu. This is to kill this evil son and bring him to justice.

Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to intercede for Jia Baoyu, but who knew that Jia Baoyu was going to do something more than shameful. Shi Xiangyun not only wanted to compete with women for men, but also with men for men. He couldn't help but feel sad for himself. This is her Brother Ai, who was determined to marry, tightened his arms around his son, and looked at him intently. This child was her hope in the future, and she seemed to have not heard anything about Jia Zheng wanting to beat Baoyu.

Four years had completely exhausted all of Shi Xiangyun's affection, leaving only a ruthless Mrs. Jia.

A mandarin duck's child, born under Shi Xiangyun's name, is a legitimate son.After tidying up the mandarin ducks, Shi Xiangyun has no rivals in the inner house, and all the concubines around Baoyu are honest people with their tails between their legs. Those dishonest ones were sold out by Shi Xiangyun for various reasons, and they were so ruthless, no The coal kiln was that filthy place, and later Baoyu was left with only a few aunts who honestly could not give birth to children.

When Jia Huan got married and had three children running around, Jia Baoyu still had only one son. Jia Zheng couldn't help asking Liu Shi to give Baoyu a few maids, which was exactly what Liu Shi wanted, and gave Baoyu some color. What an ambitious girl.

Live up to expectations, among the girls rewarded by the Liu family, there is really a girl who is not favored by Baoyu, and she was conceived at one time. Shi Xiangyun still left his mother to keep the child, and also recorded it in his own name.Many years later, Shi Xiangyun lived a life like the old lady who had a balance of two houses, was the only one who was the only one, and said nothing.

Later, Jia Baoyu got tired of watching the battles in the inner house, after seeing that monk one time, he simply followed him away, and there has been no news since then.

After Baoyu disappeared, the Jia family also sent many people out to look for it. After several years, there was no trace, and they gradually gave up their minds and stopped looking for it.
