Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Chapter 401 Jia She is seriously ill
Before you know it, the time has come to June, the light is like fire and the room is like a furnace. It is the hottest time of the year.

Jia Huan had to put several ice buckets in the house to barely get rid of the heat.

That night, Yuanyang suddenly reported to Jia Huanhui: "Third Master, the eldest master is suddenly seriously ill. The Liu family wants to marry the second lady. Does the Third Master want to go home for once?"

Jia She suddenly became seriously ill?

Hearing the news, Jia Huan couldn't help but be surprised.

In The Book of Red Mansions, Jia She was fine in the first eighty chapters.

But now, something seems to have changed.Jia She suddenly became seriously ill?

As for the Liu family's request for marriage, it is understandable.

After all, once Jia She dies, Yingchun must observe mourning for him for three years and cannot get married within three years.

The Liu family did not want to delay for another three years, so they proposed as early as possible.

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Yuanyang, do you know what disease the elder is suffering from? How is his health now?"

Yuanyang said: "I heard that the eldest man was exhausted by drinking and sex. During this period, it was very difficult for him to get out of bed. I don't know how long he can hold on."

Empty from wine and sex?Hasn't he always been like this?It shouldn't be so fast.

However, Jia Huan didn't pay much attention to it. Jia She's illness had nothing to do with the overall situation and was even a good thing for the Jia family.

There are not many people in the Jia family who can achieve success, but there are many who can do bad things.

For example, the original Jia Zhen, the current Jia She, and even Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, and even Jia Zheng must be included in the calculation.

Now that Jia Zhen is dead and Jia She is seriously ill, these two top culprits have lost the ability to do bad things.

Even if the remaining people can do bad things, they are still very limited.

Because their status is not high enough, no matter how many wrong things they do, they will not drag the Jia family to the point of confiscating their entire family.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Yuanyang, when will my second sister get married?"

Yuanyang said: "Third Master, the Liu family is in a hurry to propose marriage, and it is scheduled for the eighth day of next month."

Jia Huan nodded and said, "Well, I will definitely go back on the eighth day of next month."

As he said this, Jia Huan suddenly remembered something.

He couldn't help but ask: "Yuanyang, I wonder how much dowry the second sister has?"

In this era, a woman’s dowry was her private property.After marrying into their husband's family, these dowries are the foundation of their lives.

If the dowry is rich, the husband's family will look at it differently.

Just look at Wang Xifeng’s words and there is evidence.

After hearing this, Sister Feng stood up and said, "I have [-] yuan, which I did not earn from you. Now I am carrying on my back, saying that I have a lot, and you are the only one left to tell me. Do you know that I have no family?" You can't attract outside ghosts yourself."

"Where does the money from our Wang family come from? It's all earned by your Jia family. Don't make me sick, you are looking at your family's Shi Chong Deng Tong. Just sweep the cracks in the floor of my Wang family and it will be enough for you to live a lifetime." Woolen cloth."

"I'm not ashamed to say it! Here's the proof: Take a closer look at my wife's and my dowry and compare them with yours. They are both not worthy of you."

On the contrary, if the dowry is not generous enough, you will be looked down upon after marrying into your husband's family.

Jia Huan guessed that given Jia She's greed and ruthlessness and Mrs. Xing's stupidity and miserly temperament, Yingchun's dowry would not be generous.

The second sister's temperament is inherently soft. If she does not have a generous dowry, she will definitely be despised by the Liu family after marrying into the Liu family.

Therefore, Jia Huan asked about the dowry of his second sister.

If it is really missing, Master Jia Huan will definitely add more for it.

Hearing this question, Yuanyang couldn't help but said: "The third master asked me, I really don't know."

"I'll ask someone to ask, then come back and tell the third master." Jia Huan nodded and said, "There's no need to rush this matter, there's still more than half a month left."

Yuanyang nodded, indicating that he knew.

But the next day, Yuanyang told Jia Huan the news.

"Third Master, the eldest master only gave eight dowries to the second girl. My ancestor couldn't stand it anymore, so he took eight more dowries from his own body to make up for it."

Hearing the news, Jia Huan's expression turned ugly.

This old guy Jia She is really worse than a beast.

Batai's dowry was something he couldn't afford.

If the old lady hadn't added eight more channels later, even outsiders would have laughed the Jia family to death without the Liu family having to say anything.

And even if the old lady paid eight dowries, a total of sixteen dowries, if outsiders saw it, they would laugh at the Jia family's stinginess.

But I can barely cover up my shame, which is much better than the Batai dowry.

Jia Huan thought for a while and said to Yuanyang: "Yuanyang, you go to the accounting office to pay the money, and make up for the dowry of the second sister by sixteen sets and send it over."

"Remember, you must ask someone to keep an eye on the second sister. Don't let the eldest master steal it privately."

Yuanyang smiled and said: "Third Master, just don't worry. No matter how greedy the eldest master is, he will never be able to do this. Besides, there is an old lady watching! Third Master, just don't worry, I will let people watch."

Jia Huan listened and nodded.

Unknowingly, the time came to the sixth day of July.

Jia Huan took leave in advance and took his people back to Jia's mansion.

When his second sister got married, he had to come back.

After returning to Ningguo Mansion, Jia Huan washed up and went to Xi Mansion to visit Jia Mu.

Entering the Rongqing Hall, Jia Huan paid his respects and said, "My grandson pays homage to our ancestors. May your ancestors be blessed and safe."

Mother Jia hurriedly said: "Brother Huan, please get up and speak. You are a thoughtful child, not like the boss..."

"You are really a good person. You have made up sixteen more dowries for your second sister. Although my Jia family is not as good as before. But the second girl has 32 dowries. Even if outsiders look at it, they can't say anything. "

"As the head of the Jia family, it's really great that you can do this. Even if the old woman closes her eyes now, she can die in peace."

What Jia Mu saw was not just these sixteen dowries.

Eryatou and he are just uncles and sisters, yet he can still do this.

In the future, Baoyu will naturally be indispensable.

Jia Huan has such a broad mind, Jia Mu is relieved.

Jia Huan couldn't help but said: "How dare my grandson praise his ancestors so much? We are all one family, and this is what I should do."

"By the way, I came to my ancestors just after I came back. I heard that the eldest master was sick, but I didn't really hear it. I don't know what the disease is? Does it matter?"

After hearing Jia Huan's inquiry, Jia Mu waved her hand and drove out all the maids and women serving in the room.

When Jia Huan saw this, he knew there must be a reason.

After everyone retreated, Jia Mu called Jia Huan in front of her and whispered:

"I will only tell you about this matter in the entire Jia family. If you hear it, don't make it known."

Jia Huan nodded hurriedly and said: "Ancestor, don't worry, my grandson has his own sense of discretion."
