The Rise of Ning Mansion in Red Mansions

Chapter 57 The dove takes over the magpie's nest
It was March 3rd. Different from the lively scene in Rongguo Mansion in Shenjing, Jiangning was stirred up by a letter from Jia Dai to old relatives whom he had not seen for a long time.

Let’s talk first, the Wang family.

The royal family of Jinling is the Taiwei, the county uncle, and the queen of the prince.

In the early years, his family was ordered by the emperor to supervise the construction of sea-going ships on the southeast coast, specializing in maritime trade and tribute matters from overseas vassals. They were also wealthy.

There is a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, and the Dragon King comes to invite the King of Jinling. He is talking about the Wang family in its heyday.

However, when it came to Prince Sheng's generation, it was because his family's title had been exhausted and he was unable to study, so he was just a white man.

As soon as his father died, Wang Zisheng took his wife and two children (Wang Ren and Wang Xifeng) back to his hometown in Jiangning to live and guard his ancestral property.

The Wang family's old house is on Zhuque Street, standing side by side with the Jia family's old house, across from the Shi family.

On this day, the prince won Jia Dai's letter, but called Wang Xifeng over.

Wang Xifeng is his eldest daughter. She has been raised by Wang Zisheng as a son since she was a child. She is very determined and is a first-rate hero among the people with a lot of makeup.

When he was in Beijing, his aunt, Mrs. Wang, married Jia Zheng. From then on, Wang Xifeng often moved around the Ningrong Mansion and grew up with Jia Zhen and Jia Dai.

Now that the elders have made the decision, they have decided to get married to Jia Dai, and they are waiting to be married in their hometown in Jiangning. Wang Xifeng still does not change her naughty temperament.

Deep down in her heart, she really envied the prosperity of Shenjing, and she only looked forward to going to Shenjing early so that she could take charge of the Ningguo Mansion, show off her intelligence and talents in her life, and compete with other men.

In particular, in Wang Xifeng's heart, Jia Dai is still the dull and stupid person.

However, due to his good luck, he was favored by Jia Daihua, adopted by Jia Fu, and became the eldest son of the eldest son, inheriting the Ning Guofu family business.

It’s nothing to do with it, it’s all luck!
Although they were married, Wang Xifeng still regarded Jia Dai as an inconspicuous concubine, and felt that he was superior to her. She was confident that the west wind could overpower the east wind and become the overlord of Ningguo Mansion.

As soon as the letter was lost, Wang Xifeng left in a hurry. Wang Zisheng looked at him in a daze, and there were still many things to explain.

While Wang Zisheng was still waiting, the two families arranged their marriage. Wang Xifeng became the head grandmother of Ningguo Mansion. She would take good care of the Wang family and take care of her younger brother - Wang Ren!

Leaving now? Wang Zisheng quickly called out: "Feng girl, where are you going?"

"Haha... I am the future daughter-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion and the daughter-in-law of the Jia family. Now that his family is doing big things, why is it that I, Wang Xifeng, is missing?"

After saying a few words, Wang Xifeng and Ping'er disappeared without a trace. Only the lingering sound echoed in Wang Zisheng's ears.

Let’s talk about the Xue family. They were originally from the imperial business community and worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs. In order to gain a foothold in their hometown in Jiangning and avoid being bullied, they just made up the names of the four major families in Jinling.

Using this to bluff people, those who don't know what's going on really don't dare to mess with him. Now, life is going smoothly.

However, three years ago, Mr. Xue was out shopping and contracted an unknown strange disease. He invited countless good doctors from the province to see him and took countless medicines, but none of them worked.

After finally holding on for half a year, he finally passed away, leaving behind Aunt Xue and a pair of children.

This Aunt Xue is none other than the daughter of the Wang family, the sister of Wang Ziteng and Mrs. Wang, and the heroine of "Breaking Lies" written by Jia Mu.

When she was young, Aunt Xue was used to having her own way. She always only had one little girl with her, and the rest, such as the upbringing mama and the mother-in-law, were not taken with her.
Once when she was out, she happened to meet Mr. Xue, a businessman who came to Shenjing and was a guest in Rongguo Mansion. She fell in love at first sight and vowed to marry Mr. Xue.

Fearing that the scandal would be exposed and affect the reputation of the Wang family, the prince had no choice but to agree to this marriage, which was in the wrong family and household.

So Aunt Xue eloped in Jiangning and pretended that she had never given birth to a daughter!

Now, twenty years later, Aunt Xue has two sons and a daughter, so she has sealed the matter away. However, her bad tutoring was inadvertently passed on to Xue Baochai. Similarly, she doesn't have the influence of the big lady, and behaves like Aunt Xue. She only takes care of one or two little girls every day, saying that she is concise and afraid of trouble. She just has no rules!

However, it was said that the Xue family's mother and daughter were discussing a major matter when they received the letter from Jia Dai's family.

It turned out that Zhen Yingjia had long been eyeing the Xue family's vast wealth and wanted to take it for himself, so he sent his protégé Mei Hanlin to secretly cause trouble and found an excuse to arrest Xue Pan.

Today, Mr. Xue Pan is still locked up in Jiangning County Prison and eating public food.

This worries Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.

However, Aunt Xue broke up with the Wang family because of their private life-long commitment, even though the eldest brother, Wang Zisheng, lived in his hometown in Jiangning.

The sisters never moved around. Every time, Aunt Xue never came to the door, and she only sent servants to deliver boxing gifts.

However, this time her son was arrested and imprisoned with his life or death uncertain. Aunt Xue was frightened to the point of being helpless. Xue Baochai asked her again, why didn't she ask her uncle for help?

Aunt Xue had no choice but to tell the story of the past.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. At this time, Tongxi ran in, was startled, and said cowardly: "Madam, there is a letter!"

"What letter? Bring it!"

Since Mr. Xue left, Xue Pan has been the head of the Xue family, and Aunt Xue is in charge of the inner house, with ten-year-old Xue Baochai assisting her.

Over time, Aunt Xue has unconsciously developed a power. With such a straight face, she can intimidate many people.

After receiving the letter and expelling their joy, the mother and daughter huddled together and looked at it, their eyes getting brighter and brighter!
Thanks to the blessings of my ancestors, my Pan'er is saved!

The family letter was written by Jia Dai.

Mrs. Xue is Jia Dai's biological mother and the sister of Mr. Xue's mother. Now, after being supported by Jia Jing, she is the head matron of the Jia family in Jinling.

Is there any reason not to save Xue Pan, my nephew?

Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: Finally, she no longer had to shamelessly visit her parents' house, and she no longer had to look at the look of disdain on her second sister's face.

Looking at Xue Baochai who was leaning next to him, he cried with joy and said:
"My son, your brother is saved."

"Hurry, your cousin will be home soon. Change your clothes and let's take the car to Jia's house together."

Although Xue Baochai was confused in her heart, why did she get a cousin inexplicably in a moment, she still smiled obediently and agreed, as long as her mother didn't act stupid, let her go.

On that day, Jia Yun, Jia Qiang, and Jia Lian first went to the Jia family's old house to entertain a group of relatives and friends who came to pay their respects.

Jia Dai supported the spirit, abandoned his horse and boarded a boat, and sailed upstream along the Yangtze River to the east foot of Zhongshan Mountain. He stopped the spirit in his family temple, Donglin Temple, and buried him in his ancestral tomb on another day.

At the beginning, when the Ningguo Mansion was divided, Jia Jing was the clan leader and Jia Qiang was also the great-great-grandson of Dongfu, so they were assigned to Jia Jing and lived with them. This trip south represented the Jia clan.

Jia Yun represents Jia Dai, and Jia Lian represents the Rongguofu lineage.

The three of them had a clear division of labor, but when they returned home, they found that someone had occupied the magpie's nest and treated his uncle and nephew as if they were outsiders.

But the housekeeper, Jin Cai and his wife, were busy and did not dare to neglect.
