The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 115

Sometimes, a thing done unintentionally often has unexpected results.

The chrysanthemums in the watermelon orchard and the apple orchard are like this.

At the beginning, Jia Min planted it casually, but unexpectedly, after harvesting watermelons and apples, such a landscape would be left behind.

Li Wan, Qin Keqing and the girls were all wandering among the flowers, and the maids were also laughing and playing.

Not far from the entrance of the garden, Jia Lian, Xue Pan, and Fang Xiucai were sitting at a small table drinking tea.There is also a small table about ten feet away from them.There are some small snacks and tea on it.

There are two people sitting opposite the table, one is the ancestor and the other is Jia Min.

The two have been chatting together for over an hour.No one could hear what they were saying, and no one tried to get close to hear what they had to say.

After the Rongxitang incident, these two opposing people sat together, in anyone's eyes, it was a meaningful thing.Especially when Jia's mansion is facing the emperor's imperial decree.

Although I don't know what the two said, but judging from the current atmosphere, it seems that there is no sign of the collapse of the talk.

The old ancestor laughed a few times from time to time, and Jia Min refilled the old ancestor's tea from time to time. If he didn't know the details, he would think that he was a filial grandson who was chatting with his grandmother, and the two of them were enjoying family happiness.

The truth is of course not so simple, but it is not necessary to settle the problem in the quarrel.

The most important topics have already been discussed.Now it's actually coming to an end.

"I admit that I was forced to do nothing, so I came here to beg you to go back. As you know, none of the people in this mansion are successful. If you don't go back, Jia's mansion will be over this time."

"The old ancestors don't need to say that, there is always a way, and there will always be a way. Besides, some things are pushed to the head, so they will find a way."

"It's the same reason. I was forced to fail, so I thought of looking for you."

Jia Min took a sip of tea, but didn't answer.

It was indeed beyond his expectation that the ancestor came to him in person.After coming here, he frankly admitted that he was desperate, so he came to him, which also surprised him.

"Let me tell you, Brother Min, until now, I have been unwilling to seek you back. This is the first person in all these years who dares to oppose me like this."

"Of course, I admit that what you said that day was reasonable, and what I did that day was also wrong. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have given up my old face to beg you."

Mother Jia raised her head and looked at the female relatives in the garden, seemingly lost in thought.

"If the Jia family is over, you will know what will happen to these beautiful girls in the future. Either they will become officials and slaves, or they will be sold to Fireworks and Willow Lane, or they will be sold to someone in the family, or they will be called Buy to be a concubine."

"Zhu'er daughter-in-law, she has been widowed for so many years and guarded Lan Geer. The two of them dare not speak wrong words in the house, and dare not speak out. I only hope that Lan Geer will have a better future, so that she can survive .”

"Do you think I'm indifferent to their mother and daughter and don't care?"

Jia Min did not answer, obviously agreeing with this statement.

"If I dote on them, it's actually very simple. But what about after I die? Will others still dote on them? Before Lange's success, the best way for the two of them to live is not to stay in the mansion It's too flamboyant."

"Zhu'er's daughter-in-law is a well-educated and kind person. She doesn't want to fight with others, and she can't bear to fight with others. As long as she is safe and sound in this mansion, when Brother Lang becomes an adult and has fame, no one will I dare not do anything to his wife."

What Mother Jia said in this way surprised Jia Min.He admitted that the old man was right.If Li Wan is popular in the mansion now, it will be difficult for her to do well after Jia Mu dies in the future.Not to mention what's going on with Mrs. Wang, it's very difficult for her to pass just Wang Xifeng's test.

It's not that Li Wan is stupid than Wang Xifeng, but that Li Wan is too kind and Wang Xifeng is too vicious.When kind people fight against vicious people, they often suffer losses.

"Miss Lin's mother is gone, and his old man is not in good health. I'm afraid she won't be able to last long. She is weak and not easy-going. With me, others will look at her highly. If I die , does she still have a good life?"

"Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is also a hard-fated one. She was thrown away since she was a child, and she still doesn't know who her real parents are. Then Brother Rong is not up to date, and she herself has no one and a half Girl, she has a kind heart, who can she count on in the future?"

"That Miaoyu girl, her family is broken, and she is alone. She has nowhere to go in the temple. She has a cold temper, and she is also a loner. If the Jia family is defeated, she will not even have a place to go." No. There are quite a few bad boys thinking about her nowadays, if I hadn't protected her, she might have disappeared long ago."

"The second girl welcomes the spring, she is just a piece of wood, and her mother is gone long ago. His father doesn't care about him, and he is also a stubborn temper. If he goes out of the family in the future, if he meets a good husband and wife, it's okay to say that he is a good husband. If my natal family doesn't have any influence, I don't need to say what will happen to her."

"Third girl Tanchun, although her parents are complete, you also know her mother and brother. She has to be close to his aunt every day, and it's just for self-protection. Fortunately, she has a strong temper. , I have enough mind, I don't have to worry about it."

"The fourth girl cherishes the spring. She is young and has a cowardly temper. When encountering some troubles, she will do her best to get into the horns. She is so old. She likes the scriptures and loves to run to the temple. Her father is devoted to cultivating Taoism. That elder brother also ignored him. It will be a worry in the future."

"Then Miss Smith, her parents are gone. In his uncle's house, her aunt is not good to her. That is to say, I often bring her here to make her happy in this mansion. His uncle's house is also in decline, and life is difficult. It's also difficult. In the future, even the dowry money will be a worry, and I will have to pay for it."

"There is also the eldest girl here, that is, your sister Yuanchun who has never met. She entered the palace when she was a teenager. Everyone thought that the palace was a place full of flowers, but the pain inside was also filled with tears. How many know?"

"In that palace, fighting is probably ten times or a hundred times more ruthless than outside. For what? Isn't it for the future to be favored by the emperor and protect this big family?"

"You have also read the letters she wrote to you and to us. She begged you so much, and it hurts me to read it. Now I really regret sending her to the palace."

Jia's mother was talking nonsense, but Jia Min didn't interrupt her.He admitted that Mother Jia's words at this time were indeed sincere.

Jia Yuanchun's letter to Jia Min, not to mention the purpose.Judging from the letter, it is indeed written with sincerity.Not only did he apologize to Jia Min on behalf of his family, but he also bluntly stated in the letter that there is no one in the Jia family who can take on great responsibilities.

It can be seen that although she is in the palace, she still knows the situation at home very well.

Jia Min has complicated feelings for Jia Yuanchun.

Although he had never met her, he always had a sense of closeness.He has a feeling of sympathy and admiration for Jia Yuanchun.

It is said that entering the palace, honoring the ancestors and enjoying the glory and wealth.In fact, these are all appearances.The palace fights and struggles in that place are unimaginable to outsiders.It is not too much to describe it as dangerous and frightening at every step.

Those who can be favored by the emperor are, after all, very few.The vast majority of court ladies, after endless expectations, become endlessly desperate and die forever.

Jia Yuanchun actually exchanged his youth and the happiness of his life for the safety of his family.She has to worry about it every day, and she may not be able to achieve her goal.

Although Jia Min was moved by what happened to these girls, Jia Yuanchun was the one who moved him the most.Of course, Qin Keqing, Miaoyu and Baochai are also elements that make his heart beat.

For some reason, Mother Jia listed all the other girls, but she didn't mention Baochai.

In fact, what happened to Baochai may not be considered happiness.His father is gone, and his brother is useless, and he often gets into trouble.In a way, he is also a poor person.

"Look at the men in the mansion. You know it too. Which one is successful? In the future, they will support themselves and talk about it. How can they be expected to take care of these girls and wives?"

"I know something about the things they do in private, but I am old and have to use a cane to walk, what else can I do to them? I know they are superficially coaxing me to be happy , Behind my back, I have done a lot of bad things. But, what can I do to them? They are all my family members?"

This old lady, they are your family members, but I am not?That's why you asked me to borrow a knife to kill people, and told me to rush to the front line and become a death squad?
"I believe that they poisoned you. Zhao Lianju's death, I knew what was going on at the time. But, what can I do? One is my own son and the other is my grandson. My dear, can I hand him over to an official?"

"Such ugly things have never been new in those aristocratic families. If you don't talk about it, let's talk about my own sister. My natal family was also powerful at the beginning, but she died in the end without knowing it. Knowing what's going on, but I can only sigh in despair."

"I've been in Jia's mansion for over sixty years. Didn't I fight all the way here? Your uncle, aunt, your mother, Sister Feng, and Lian's second elder brother are coaxing me on the surface, but plotting against me behind the scenes. Do you think I don't know? They can do this to me, run on you as a newcomer, what's so strange about it?"

"I don't ask for any more wealth and wealth in my family. As long as I can be safe and sound, and let these girls find a good family in the future, I will be satisfied, and I will be able to see my ancestors."

"You are a capable person, and you are ruthless enough to strike. I have counted and counted, and you are the only one who can count these people. Therefore, I leave the future of this family to you."

That's not right, this old lady's painting style is changing too fast, why do I want to be ruthless?Those are all your people, now you ask me to plot against them, who are you from?When did we become comrades-in-arms in the same trench?
