No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

They took the gift back that day. Jia She understood his mother very well. They were all children. Where did they get the money? It was just a little money from the family. If they really accepted it, what would Miaoyu and the You sisters do? I gave it away this year, what should I do next year?

The only ones left in the evening were the Jia family's own people, and there were only a few heads of household in the dining room.

Wang Xifeng and Jia Yuan were driven back by the old lady after Mrs. Wang's funeral. They had stayed out for too long.

Wang Xifeng left Jia Zhuo and Jia Ruo behind. They were both old enough to receive education. She took Jia Wei and the newly born Jia Ku to the north to reunite with Jia Lian.

Li Wan, on the other hand, took the girls to do needlework, leaving space for the old lady, the eldest master, the second master, and Jia Xuan.

"Shi Ding is here in the afternoon. First, he wants to wish you a birthday. According to your rules, some birthday noodles and peaches have been distributed to the clan school and the nursery hall ahead." Jia She said hurriedly.

"Okay! But something is wrong?" The old lady nodded. Shi Xiangyun also sent someone here. She gave her four-color needlework. It can be seen from the needlework that she has studied it carefully.

Ou Mengmeng not only refused the kindness of these close children, she had also refused the so-called old relatives to celebrate her birthday. As a birthday gift, I only kept a few kilograms of birthday noodles and peaches. I accepted their kindness and distributed them to nursery halls, temples, Taoist temples and other places throughout the city, and the people disappeared.

In the past few years, Shi Ding only delivered noodles and no one came. Today, it is a bit interesting to deliver them himself.

"It seems that for Tong'an's marriage, my grandson heard that the emperor asked Uncle Shi's cousin to choose someone!" Jia Xuan put down the cup and said hurriedly.

"Shouldn't your grandmother be the one to choose someone?" Jia Zheng also frowned. They all knew about the old lady entering the palace for Tong An. According to their ideas, the new emperor should give the old lady power. , the old lady will choose a suitable one, and then the royal family will grant the marriage, so that both the inside and the outside are covered. But it was a bit strange that the royal family asked Shi Ding to choose.

"I want Tongan to marry an officer. With Tongan's temperament, she is an eagle in the sky. I don't know what kind of person can be worthy of her. But among the Forbidden Army, I doubt that I can choose a good one, either. A young master soldier or a slave with good martial arts are not the general I want." The old lady also sighed, she was not optimistic about this.

"No wonder he has a bitter look on his face. How can he choose? You want to let the eagle return to the sky, but the boss wants to come back as a sea turtle." Jia She finally understood what this meant.

Ou Mengmeng narrowed her eyes and stopped talking.

Everyone sees the old lady like this, it's obvious that she doesn't want to talk about this anymore. So we retreated together.

It's not Ou Mengmeng's control how Shi Ding chooses. It will be done when the idea comes.

And like the death of Mr. Wang, and the old lady’s birthday did not accept expensive gifts, it passed by in a flash, and all the families in the city were still intoxicated. The old lady of the Zhen family also silently took Mrs. Zhen and the girls on the train. Jiangnan boat.

The old lady of the Zhen family began to feel a little uneasy because when she entered the palace to ask to see the old saint, the old saint refused on the grounds of physical discomfort. Concubine Huigui didn't see them either. Only the old aunt from the Zhen family met them. She looked at the little girls of the Zhen family and gave them a reward. The old lady looked at the old concubine. Her sense of foreboding was just that. It got deeper and I asked people to pack my things.

I happened to hear that all the good things that the girls raised by the Jia family gave to Jia's mother were returned. I asked again and found out that the old lady had spent her birthdays behind closed doors for the past six years, so people from outside could only bring some longevity noodles in. As for longevity noodles and peaches from each family, they collected a few kilograms of them and distributed them throughout the city. Those little girls were all educated by her, and most of them were of high status, but she didn't even accept a jade plaque, and said she wouldn't accept any gift exceeding one tael of silver.

This reminded the old lady of the Zhen family of seeing the skinny Jia Shi in Jiangnan. How come the open-minded and wealthy people who were once young have become old-fashioned? She thought about it for a while and immediately said, go back quickly, she was homesick.

Although Mrs. Zhen wanted to have a good time with her two biological daughters and grandchildren, she couldn't resist the old lady. She complained all kinds of things in her heart, but she still asked people to prepare quickly.

The Zhen family came with such a big fanfare and left silently. Except for the two married girls and uncles of the Zhen family, no one saw them off.

Ou Mengmeng was planning her day, but another uninvited guest came.

"What's Prince Teng coming to do?" Ou Mengmeng was stunned for a moment. There were still a few days until Mrs. Wang's Qiqi, and Jia Yuan also sent a letter, saying that in Ganzhou, the children had adapted well, and now that Prince Teng is here Okay, what does this mean?

On the one hand, he asked people to find Jia She and on the other hand, he asked people to invite him. She slowly returned to her main room.

Wang Ziteng came alone, so he thought something was wrong. Ou Mengmeng washed her hands and asked him to sit down with a smile, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just came back from the camp. I thought my eldest sister Qiqi was coming, so I came here to take a look." Wang Ziteng looked tired.

"Brother Teng, are you feeling unwell?" Ou Mengmeng seemed to remember that in the book, Prince Teng was promoted to a nine-province general system, patrolling the border on an order, and died on the way back. I got an emergency in the middle of the night and went to see a doctor in the country. But after one dose of medicine, I was gone. The tree of the Wang family suddenly fell and the hozens dispersed, and the building of the four families also collapsed.

Now Wang Ziteng is no longer the pillar of the four families. The four families are independent, and Wang Ziteng's life in the army is not easy.

Ou Mengmeng has summarized the relationship between Wang Ziteng and the four families. Before, it was like some provincial capital cities in later generations, blood-sucking places that maintained false prosperity.

Of course, Wang Ziteng, the "provincial capital", could really stand up, and it really helped support at least Jia and Xue's family a lot. Otherwise, it wouldn't happen. When Wang Ziteng fell, everyone fell with him. It has to be said that when the Jia and Xue families could not stand up on their own, Wang Ziteng sucked blood and returned to suck blood, but his character was still acceptable.

And now the four major families are just some scattered provinces and cities, each doing their own thing, each with its own splendor. As a result, the provincial capital could no longer show its strength. But if a provincial capital city collapses, it will have nothing to do with the local area.

This cannot be said to be a good thing. If it is in bulk, you really have to take responsibility for yourself. According to the old thinking, two fists cannot defeat four legs. In the past, when Jia Yan and others were strong men, they wanted to create the Jinling Four, which was a powerful alliance. But now, the old lady feels that she can only say that this is a long-lasting union, and even a family will be divided when the time comes. When the old lady thought of this, she no longer had anything to fear, and she became even more kind to Wang Ziteng.

He waved to the outside and asked someone to call Zhao Chong in. As expected, it is indeed very convenient to have a doctor as his grandson-in-law.

Wang Ziteng was speechless. He only said one sentence. Seeing how busy the old lady was, could it be that she didn't want him to speak?

"Old lady, my nephew is okay. He heard that you were looking for a bride for Princess Tong'an, so he came here to ask." Wang Ziteng said anxiously. (End of chapter)
