It is said that because Jia Yun rejected Jia Zheng's application for promotion, some subtle changes occurred in the minds of everyone in the Rongguo Mansion.
The first person who was dissatisfied with Jia Yun was Mrs. Wang. Although Mrs. Wang didn't like Jia Zheng very much because of Aunt Zhao, and she wasn't very close to Jia Zheng. She hid in her house every day and pretended to be fasting. Reciting the Buddha's name is like a monk.
However, in fact, Mrs. Wang is the general housekeeper of the entire Rongguo Mansion. She treats Jia Zheng as a loving lady. Whenever Jia Tanchun has something that he cannot handle, he will come to consult Mrs. Wang. Mother is good, but even if Aunt Zhao is favored by Jia Zheng, she is just a concubine and will not cause trouble.
Today, Jia Tanchun came to Mrs. Wang's house to say hello. When the two of them were chatting, they couldn't help but talk about the promotion of Jia Tanchun's father, Jia Zheng, which was vetoed by Jia Yun, and they couldn't help but mumble a few words. Bad gossip.
I only saw Mrs. Wang scolding in front of Jia Tanchun: "Brother Yun, he is really not the same thing. The master has always treated him well, even Miss Lin and Miss Xue have promised him, What? Doesn’t he know how to be satisfied and has to make things difficult for his own family?”
Listening to Mrs. Wang's curse, Jia Tanchun did not dare to speak more. He just stayed down quietly and listened to Mrs. Wang's words. He waited for Mrs. Wang's emotions to vent before he was ready to find a suitable opportunity to meet Wang. Madame replied.
After Jia Tanchun waited for a while, he found that Mrs. Wang had stopped talking. He guessed that his anger had dissipated a lot, and then he slowly and tentatively said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, why don't you let me go to Yun Mansion to find Lin?" Sister and Sister Bao, please ask Brother Yun what’s going on with this matter? So that Brother Yun can give an explanation to your wife?!”
Seeing Jia Tanchun volunteering to talk to Jia Yun in the Yun Mansion, Mrs. Wang immediately had some thoughts of her own. Her eyes lit up, but she looked at Jia Tanchun and said, "Daughter, this is a good idea. Ah! Go to Yun Mansion, meet your sisters, and ask them to ask Brother Yun what the situation is like today and why you want to embarrass my master."
Following Mrs. Wang's instructions, Jia Tanchun also hurriedly ordered someone to prepare the sedan chair, and planned to go to the Yun Mansion next door to find someone to ask about the reason.
Jia Baoyu also learned the news at this moment, but he didn't care much about it. He just felt a little puzzled and said: "Brother Yun has always been nice to others, why do you have to make things so difficult for others today?"
While Jia Baoyu was deep in thought, Mingyan, the young servant in Jia Baoyu's house outside, opened the door and walked in. She looked at Jia Baoyu and said, "Second Master Bao, Prince Beijing sent someone to pick up Second Master Bao to play in the mansion. "
"Well! Let me change my clothes. I'll go right away." With that said, Jia Baoyu went to the room inside to change clothes.
Jia Baoyu and Mrs. Wang's reactions to this matter were completely different. Compared with Mrs. Wang's concern, Jia Baoyu did not have any violent reactions or extra thoughts, and he never went to Jia Yun to ask for an explanation or clarify the reason. thought.
...
The other side.
After Jia She learned the news, he couldn't help stroking his beard and said, "What a good thing! This is beautifully done."
Jia Zheng and Jia She have always been at odds with each other.
There has been a lot of grievances between them.
Especially after the death of Duke Rongguo of Rongguo Mansion in the past, the title of Rongguo Mansion was inherited by Jia She. He was the real master of the big house in Rongguo Mansion. But now the entire big house is controlled by Jia Mu and Wang. Under the control of his wife, he ended up being sent to the garden.
This result undoubtedly made Jia She feel that Jia's mother was partial, and that mother favored Yao'er. This was a popular saying, but there was nothing wrong with it in this Rongguo Mansion.
If it weren't for the ancient feudal society, which valued loyalty and filial piety, I'm afraid Jia She would have fallen out with Jia Mu and Jia Zheng long ago.
How come there are so few grievances here?
Now that Jia Zheng has been promoted, won't he still have to bear the burden? .net
Jia She was naturally unhappy.
Jia Yun pressed it down, and Jia She was satisfied. She felt that Jia Yun had done a good thing this time, and that it had given him a breath of bad energy that had accumulated all along.
After Jia Lian learned about this incident, although he had some doubts in his heart, Jia Lian, who was hanging out in Wenrou Township, was much happier than when Wang Xifeng was in charge of him before, so he soon stopped paying attention to this matter.
.......
Shenjing, Lin Daiyu's house in Yun Mansion.
"Grandma Lin, the maid Chunhong came in and said that the spring visit girl from Rongguo Mansion is here!" Zicuckoo came in from the outside, looked at Lin Daiyu who was feeding the child in the house, and couldn't help but said: "Grandma, let me Come and hold me first!"
After listening to Zijuan's words, Lin Daiyu also nodded and said, "I'm running out of food here recently. You go find a wet nurse outside and ask her to help bring some food."
Hearing this, Zijuan also knew clearly that Lin Daiyu's body had always been like that, not a body that was easy to maintain. Even though Lin Daiyu's illness was cured because of Jia Yun, and she was slightly better, some things still remained. There is something lacking.
Not only Lin Daiyu is like this, but also most of the mothers of the princes in the palace are like this.
Not every concubine has a plump, round and fertile body, but most of them are skinny beauties.
Since the Tang Dynasty, most dynasties have followed this trend, which emphasizes a slim figure and a delicate face.
Therefore, when most women in these wealthy families are in poor health and lack food for their children, they will choose some folk women who have just given birth to children from outside and ask them to help feed their sons, which can also be regarded as A second mother to these children.
Jia Baoyu was like this before.
After Jia Baoyu was given birth to by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang chose Nanny Li to help take care of Jia Baoyu because of lack of food. She was regarded as Jia Baoyu's nanny.
And Jia Zheng was like this at the beginning.
Jia Zheng's wet nurse was Aunt Lai, which was why the Lai family was so wealthy and prominent in the Rongguo Mansion. Even the masters and young men wanted to please the family and did not dare to look at the slaves and housekeepers.
Lin Daiyu was also facing this problem at this moment, but she felt that there were some shortcomings. She was afraid that she would not be able to feed this boy enough, so she told Zicuckoo: "You must choose a nanny who is innocent and clean. You must know the basics. Don't do it." That kind of wet nurse with unknown origins and unclean nature will not tarnish my son's reputation and humiliate the lintel of our family."
