The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 294
Not long after, under the leadership of the girl, Wang Xifeng's mother and daughter walked into the room. After meeting Wang Xifeng, Mu Xu asked the two to sit down and ordered the girl to serve tea. Then he joked, "Today the sun is hitting the west Come out, why does the second sister-in-law come to our house when she is free?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and replied, "Isn't this just out of filial piety, so I brought Sister Qiao to visit, you uncles and aunts."

Daiyu knew Wang Xifeng very well, so she couldn't see that she was insincere, so she immediately broke the stage and said, "Don't lie, I don't know you yet, and I will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. If you don't tell me, I will tell you." Ask Miss Qiao."

Wang Xifeng didn't do much when he heard the words, but Qiaojie blushed and lowered her head. Because Qiaojie had been playing with her mother to Dongping Palace at three or five o'clock over the years, Mu Xu also treated this little girl as her own nephew. Seeing her like this, he asked bluntly, "Sister Qiao, what's the matter, why are you so shy, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, uncle will definitely make the decision for you!"

Qiaojie got up and thanked Mu Xu, but she didn't say anything, but Daiyu saw Qiaojie's attitude and thought of her age, so she couldn't help guessing, "But did you tell Qiaojie about your husband's family?"

As soon as these words came out, Sister Qiao blushed even more, and Wang Xifeng said, "It's really a female Zhuge, although I didn't guess it right, but it's not far away."

Hearing that Wang Xifeng didn't deny it, both Mu Xu and Mu Xu were surprised, and Daiyu asked quickly, "Which family are you talking about, please tell me quickly!"

Wang Xifeng glanced at the shy daughter, and said, "There is a decree from the former son's palace that a general election will be held next year. All the fifth-rank officials in Beijing and women of the appropriate age from Xungui's family must sign up for the election. Our sister Qiao will be elected next year." Jiji, we just caught up." At this point, she saw that Mu Xu and his wife were frowning a little, fearing that they might misunderstand, and hurriedly explained, "Brother-in-law and younger sister must not misunderstand, I did not send Sister Qiao into the palace, The idea of ​​fighting for wealth."

When Daiyu heard this, she was puzzled and asked, "Then the second sister-in-law is here?"

"Sister, listen to me. When I heard the news of the general election, I originally wanted Sister Qiao to excuse her illness and avoid the limelight. But a few days ago, your second brother, Lian, went out to socialize, but found out that it was this time. The general election is to choose a wife for the prince of the clan. I think this is something that Qiaojie can try. After all, there are good men in the clan, and if he succeeds, Qiaojie will have a decent status in the future, and she doesn't have to worry about her husband. future."

Mu Xu nodded, thinking that Wang Xifeng's idea was good, because this dynasty was very generous to the clan, and as long as he didn't make big mistakes, it would be fine to be rich all his life.As for Qiaojie's destination in the original novel, it is not realistic at all. After all, the Jia family has not fallen in this life, and Wang Ban'er will never be able to marry Qiaojie, even if the boy has passed the examination of scholar.

After Wang Xifeng said those words, Mu Xu didn't reply for a while, so she could only say, "Brother-in-law already understood my reason for coming, you are very respectable in the royal family, and you are uncle and nephew with several princes, so the second sister-in-law is cheeky, I want my brother-in-law to find a good husband-in-law for sister Qiao."

Of course Mu Xu understood the reason for Wang Xifeng's visit. Not only did she want to find a man of good character, but she also wanted to find a son-in-law with a high status. Otherwise, there were so many children in the clan, why did she only mention a few princes.But this is also human nature, Mu Xu didn't take offense, and said quite understandingly, "I understand what the second sister-in-law means, you can rest assured that this is not a difficult task, besides, sister Qiao was also raised by me." , is no different from our children, so I naturally have to worry about her lifelong affairs."

When Wang Xifeng heard what Mu Xu said, she was overjoyed immediately, and asked Qiao Jie to kowtow to Mu Xu, but Mu Xu waved his hand to stop him, "Stop teasing Qiao Jie, I told you that she is no different from my own children, so why bother?" See you!"

Daiyu also echoed, "Sister Qiao, don't listen to your mother, come and sit with my aunt." Qiaojie glanced at her mother, and seeing that she didn't respond, she gave Mu Xufu a bow and went to sit beside Daiyu. Down.Daiyu took Qiaojie's hand, looked at her for a long time, and sighed, "When I came to Beijing that year, you were not yet one year old. You didn't want to become a big girl in the blink of an eye, and you were about to marry someone. Time passed So fast!"

Sister Qiao smiled and replied, "If Aunt Lin doesn't tell you, others will think we are sisters!" What Sister Qiao said is really not nonsense, although Daiyu is almost thirty and has two children, but Because she learned Mu Xu's body-building art and took the precious medicine, she is only in her early twenties, and her figure is still graceful. I don't know how many female relatives who have met her are envious. For example, Wang Xifeng who is sitting at the moment, only Listening to his praise, "Yes, sister Lin doesn't know how to take care of it. Now I have become a yellow-faced woman, but you look at it, but I am more mature than when I came to Beijing."

Daiyu glanced at Mu Xu with a smile, and humbly said, "Stop saying that, I am already the mother of two children, if others hear this, they will laugh at me!"

That's what I said, but the topic was unavoidable. Three women, two big, one small, and three women, started a heated discussion on how women should maintain their health. From what supplements to take every day, to rouge powder, Mu Xu was stunned. Wanting to sleep, he didn't want to say a word from Qiaojie, but suddenly his interest was aroused.It turned out that when the three girls talked about rouge, sister Qiao suddenly said, "As far as rouge is concerned, the rouge from several famous shops in Beijing is not as good as the one made by Uncle Bao!"

Mu Xu hadn't heard about Jia Baoyu for a long time, and the last time he heard about it was from Daiyu.It was before Jiamu passed away, and she sent a mandarin duck to ask Daiyu to see her for the last time. When Jiamu was dying, she begged Daiyu to let Daiyu take care of Jia Baoyu more in the future, but Daiyu couldn't bear it. Letting the grandmother go is not safe, so he promised to support Jia Baoyu when he encounters difficulties in the future.

Hearing Qiaojie mention Jia Baoyu, Mu Xu couldn't help asking Wang Xifeng curiously, "How is your second wife doing?"

Wang Xifeng immediately understood Mu Xu's thoughts. She first looked at Daiyu calmly, and when she found that there was nothing unusual about Daiyu, but showed an inquiring expression, she said, "Don't mention their relationship, let's talk about them." I have a big head, and you don't know, since they moved out of Rongguo Mansion and moved into the house on the street behind, they have been flying around all day long, and made a lot of jokes." Then she took the second room of Jia's house There are ten ways to do things.

But since Jia's mother passed away, everyone in the Rong Mansion had finished their filial piety, and Jia Amnesty couldn't wait to drive Jia Zheng out of the house.Speaking of which, it was also Jia Mu's fault, because of her partiality in the early years, there was a big rift between the two families, but before she died, it added fuel to the fire.

Why do you say, but before Mother Jia passed away, she felt that time was running out, so she called the two masters together and wanted to divide her private house. If she could distribute it fairly to her descendants, it might be possible to save some of it. people's hearts.But she is lucky, it seems to be a fair distribution to her grandchildren, but in fact, most of the belongings have already been privately given to Jia Baoyu by her.

There was never any secret in Jia's mansion. About how many private houses Jia's mother had, all the masters had their own guesses. The value of the things that Jia's mother shared at the time was probably not even one-third of the value.Not to mention Jia Cong, Jia Huan and other concubine sons, what do the father and son Jia She, who are both descendants of the first wife, think, and how reconciled they are that Jia's mother distributed most of the property to the second wife?

Besides, Erfang's side is also undercurrents. Like Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu's father and son, they have always boasted that they are noble, they don't pay attention to property, and they don't realize it.But the rest of the people were different, except Xia Jingui felt satisfied, but Li Wan was extremely dissatisfied.In Li Wan's eyes, Jia Lan is the eldest grandson of the second wife, and should inherit most of the property of the second wife. Jia Baoyu is only the second son of the first wife, so how can he surpass Jia Zhu's first wife?Especially before Jia Wang's death, he left his private house to Jia Baoyu, and now that Jia's mother is doing this again, how can Li Wan swallow this breath?
In order to prevent the property of the second room from falling into Jia Baoyu's hands after Jia Zheng left in the future, Li Wan took action immediately. She used her status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room to beg for money from Jia Zheng after the second room moved to the new house. Stewardship.

After obtaining the right to be a housekeeper, Li Wan slashed the expenses of the masters on the grounds that he moved out of the Rongguo Mansion and the public treasury did not receive much income. His actions first annoyed Aunt Zhao and Xia Jingui.Let’s talk about Aunt Zhao first. Since Jia Wang’s death, she has always wanted to climb to the position of wife, but she has never been able to do so. When Jia’s mother divided the private treasury, she basically ignored Jia Huan, which made her even more dissatisfied.In her opinion, her daughter is the future concubine, and her son is more promising than Jia Baoyu, so why ignore their mother and son?Now even Li Wan, a widow, dares to be domineering over her, it is simply unreasonable!

Not to mention Xia Jingui, before she got married, she was known as a domineering, but after marrying into the Rongguo Mansion, because of Jia Mu's oppression, she had to suppress her nature and compromise.Now that Jia Mu passed away, she was about to show her talents in the back house, so she refused to accept the head of Li Wan.

Therefore, in the small second-bedroom inner house of Rongguo Mansion, it can be said that you sing and then I come on stage, and the fight is extremely enjoyable, which makes everyone in the big house see enough jokes.

After listening to Wang Xifeng's description, Mu Xu had a sarcasm on his face, while Daiyu smiled wryly, "Grandmother has only been away for a year, and it's too shameful for them to have such a quarrel."

Wang Xifeng couldn't say that Jia's mother was wrong, but Mu Xu had no scruples. He sneered and said, "The reason why it has become like this is of course everyone's careful thinking, but in the final analysis, it is because of your grandmother's injustice. If it weren't for her Blindly favoring the second wife and Jia Baoyu, why did the two have a quarrel, brother Ni Qiang. Just wait and see, their second wife will still have trouble, maybe they will fall apart!"

Both Daiyu and Wang Xifeng remained silent, apparently knowing why Mu Xu said this.Qiao Jie didn't have a lot of experience, so she didn't know much about the inside ways, so she didn't know the outside world, so she simply asked, "Uncle, why is this happening?"

Mu Xu explained to Sister Qiao with a smile, "The reason is very simple. The problem lies with your political second grandfather and Jia Baoyu. They are the oldest elders of your second room. Logically speaking, there is no peace in the back house." When the time comes, they should come forward to mediate and suppress, but what kind of temperament are the two of them? One puts on airs all day long, and the other is incompetent, and they just sit idly by. Shouldn't the whole family be torn apart?"

Seeing Qiaojie's thoughtful expression, Daiyu didn't want Mu Xu to talk about her family's right and wrong, so she said, "Okay, what are you doing gossiping about Qiaojie? If you have this spare time, why don't you think about a few uncles' families?" , is there a suitable husband-in-law for Miss Qiao?"

Mu Xu refused to accept, "I'm teaching Miss Qiao the difference between inside and outside. It's a very useful knowledge. How can it be gossip?"
