No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"What do you think of the old lady now?" Jia Ying looked at her sister, still with a smile in her eyes.The sound was not amplified, it was just a normal chat between sisters.

"What do you mean now and before? Not all old ladies!" Jia Fen smiled. In fact, she also hated herself, but she couldn't control herself.Sometimes, when I look in the mirror, I feel like I am disgusting.However, she didn't know how to change.Now, the only one who could talk to her was Jia Ying. She didn't want to offend her, so she gently brushed it off.

"In fact, the old lady before... was just someone else coaxing her, so she closed her eyes and pretended to be coaxed, right? It's a bit like what the poem says, helpless flowers fall away, and the deja vu swallow returns. Cai'er, Daiyu and Baochai went to give Sister Yuanyang adds makeup, what does Sister Yuanyang say? In this house, the old lady is probably the loneliest one." Jia Ying sighed softly, which was also the reason why she came over at night.

He and Baochai are also engaged, and Baochai will get married in the spring.As an old lady, I felt sorry for her because she was young and had to wait until she was eighteen to get married.But in this house, we are also counting the days.

Daiyu is from the Lin family. If she turns eighteen, Jia Fen will spend much longer time at home. Of course, she is also afraid. In the end, only Jia Fen is left. There is no one else to make jokes in the middle. Who will be hurt, Jia Fen or the old lady? No one can do it!

Of course, she was actually more worried about Jia Fen. The old lady only tolerated her because she was a granddaughter. But she was really like other people's old ladies. She was a granddaughter raised as a legitimate daughter. She was not engaged and had no powerful uncles. You really don’t know how to write the word “death”?

"The old lady was originally a high-ranking person in this house, and there was nothing she could do about being lonely. Before, the old lady only had treasures and jade in her eyes, but now, the old lady actually has no one in her eyes. If there is someone, maybe it is the family, inheritance. Let's find someone to marry off and help the eldest master. The master will build up the family culture. With the family culture, the Jia family can be passed down for two more generations." Jia Fen sneered.

"Isn't this right? You said before that you wanted to be a man and be able to break out of this mansion and show off your revenge. However, in recent years, there have been fewer such words." Jia Ying shook her head gently, but still So loud and angry.

The meaning is also clear. I knew before that this mansion was in ruins. Looking at the decadent atmosphere of the mansion, who wouldn't be discouraged? They just wanted to get married early, out of sight and out of mind.Now, everyone has seen hope and knows what a proper matron looks like.

"Second sister!" Jia Fen claimed to be smarter than the other sisters, so he understood what she meant and looked at her angrily, "It's not that I said less, I'm just too lazy to say it. Sister, I really feel that We are so panicked. Don’t you feel chilled by the way the old lady looks at us? Is this the way she looks at her grandchildren? Now she simply says that we are students. I remember when she was talking about "The Thousand-Character Essay", she said that for students I'm sorry because she advised us to behave ourselves when we didn't have that irreplaceable talent. Is that what a grandmother should say?"

"So, what do you want grandma to do?" Jia Ying sighed softly.Sure enough, people's hearts are unpredictable. The old lady didn't care about them before, but now she helps them fight for them, which has stirred up people's hearts. Now she blames the old lady for not being sincere to them.

"Maybe I just told her that at least we can still have a family marriage and we won't get married randomly." Jia Fen still felt encouraged in her heart, but she was asked to tell her what to do with her grandmother, but she also knew that it was not her place to say. . "Third sister, if you say that again, I have nothing to say. The former Xiong Erxiangong, the son of the princess, the emperor's cousin, the fifth rank in the court. My grandmother refused, and you had a quarrel with my grandmother. What happened to my grandmother at that time? As I said, our daughter will not be a daughter-in-law for someone who looks down on her. Then my grandmother chose the Zhang family! How much the old lady likes Mr. Xiong. She likes Mr. Xiong so much, but in the end she couldn’t choose Mr. Xiong. ; If it is said that she regarded us as marriage tools, waiting for price, they chose Dr. Xiao Zhao for me. The eldest sister came back and said that she chose the person for me. She said that I was too soft-tempered and wanted to find someone useful. , has a shallow foundation and is easy to handle. The old lady is still worried, so she asked the master to take her with her and treat her like her own child, for fear that I will be wronged in the future; and the old lady chose Jin Rong for Baochai, it’s really Are you exhausted with all your worries? One after another, if you say that kind of thing again, it would be a shame!"

Jia Ying smiled, just like Jia Fen said, the old lady only liked Baoyu before, and no one else was in the old lady's eyes.To put it bluntly, the flowers in front of me were just to save face!She is older, and she knows very well that she would rather like this old lady who regards herself as a teacher.

"Second sister." Jia Fen was a little angry. Second sister, who never argued with others, had to argue with herself today?
"I was bullied by the wet nurse. Although I was kicked out together with Jue'er's help, the old lady looked into my eyes and said, 'Because it can't get worse. I put myself to death to live.' She knew that sending Grandma Wang to the imperial court would be detrimental to the reputation of the Jia family, but she put it to death and survived. I feel that in the past few years, her mind has not been idle every day. Even when she was planting onions, she had been thinking about, We are weighing. You also said that she has to bear the family inheritance. Such a family has internal and external troubles. Without her, can we enjoy wealth and wealth? And the grandmother's love you mentioned, we also know from reading, 'parent's love' The plan is far-reaching.’ Let me tell you, the old lady really loves Jue’er and us now.”

"Yes, yes, who am I to say that she is not good to us? Without her, we can actually figure out how long the house can last. We are daughters, and it is not okay to get a dowry of three or five thousand taels. We can't marry. When it comes to that, we can just find someone to marry..." Jia Fenke couldn't listen and sneered.

They are very clear about the financial situation of the house. Although there is less income and more income every year, the family population is not complicated. The old lady has quite a lot of private property. Even if it is not like it is now, she still has three or five thousand for each person. Yes, to say so much, it’s just that they marry well and marry poorly.

She and everyone else told her that if they married well, they wouldn't have to really go back to help their parents' family, but the in-law relationship alone was an invisible wealth.She felt that Jia Ying was just too kind. A businessman would only seek profits from his capital. If the old lady wanted to sell her granddaughter at a good price, why not invest more capital?
Jia Ying shook her head. Indeed, according to the previous account books, the financial affairs of the Rong Mansion at that time, the dowries of the two concubines, each worth 5000 taels of silver, could still be obtained.It's just that they can't choose any good family.Besides, there is it in the account. Can the eldest master and the second master give it to you?Not even Mrs. Wang would give it.Not selling it for a few thousand taels would be considered kind of them.

Now that the situation in their house has improved and their reputation has improved, they have the capital to marry well.As a result, Jia Fen couldn't see these.

So, you can’t just think about yourself, are you the only girl in the Jia family?This topic is actually a bit too much to discuss.

People's hearts are always biased and they only see what they want to see.
