Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 204 Before the mourning hall, Youshi’s pear blossoms bring rain (please subscribe and vote monthly)

After hearing the news, You quickly came to Rongguo Mansion.

At this time, Jia Zhen had been covered by a servant with a white cloth.

After You came over, he lifted up the white cloth and took a look, then turned around and went to Jia Mu's residence.

From beginning to end, the expression on her face did not change at all.

When Mrs. You arrived at Jia Mu's place, Mrs. Wang had not left yet.

Although they are both daughters-in-law of the Jia family, they usually live in the east and west mansions respectively, so they don't have much contact with each other.

Except for important matters, Jia Mu would call them together.

Seeing Mrs. Jia, You first bowed and bowed, and then nodded to Mrs. Wang.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang nodded towards the other party as a return gift.

Seeing this, Mother Jia looked at Youshi and said, "This happened suddenly. No one wants to see it. You have to think about it."

Hearing this, Youshi said with neither joy nor sadness on her face: "Thank you, old lady, just do whatever you want to do with this matter. Even though we are divided into two houses, the east and west, in the end they are all from the same origin."

When Jia Mu saw what the other party said, the expression on her face immediately became less serious.

The next moment, she slowly opened her mouth and said: "You are right, since this kind of thing happened, I have to follow the rules. I will send someone to secretly investigate those murderous servants, but Rong'er hasn't married yet. From now on, the Dongfu side will have to rely on you to support it."

Hearing this, Mrs. You looked up at Jiamu and said, "Let's see the perpetrator. Anyone can see what happened to his death. Now all the servants in the mansion know about it. There are too many people talking about it." , I think it’s better not to make any more troubles, take him back later, and handle the funeral as you like, if he provokes such a thing outside, I can be regarded as worthy of him.”

After hearing this, Mother Jia sighed deeply and said, "Man, even if you can't control that thing, as an elder, it's not good for me to say too much. It's all my life!"

These words were originally meant for Youshi. However, the speaker did not mean it, but the listener had it in mind.

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang immediately thought of her husband, Jia Zheng.

It was originally a great career, but because he slept with his immediate boss's wife, he lost his job.

Not only that, he was also sent to a remote place. From now on, it is estimated that he will grow old and die, and it will be difficult to even see him.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's expression couldn't help but become a little sad.

The change in her expression fell into the eyes of Jia Mu and Youshi, who thought she was concerned about Jia Zhen's death and did not care.

In this way, Jia Zhen's body was sent to Ningguo Mansion on this day.

The funeral shed was quickly set up in the mansion, and everyone started to get busy immediately.

From this moment on, the You family also began to take over one of the two mansions, Ningguo Mansion.

However, the situation in East Mansion is actually not simpler than that in West Mansion.

Although Youshi is Jia Zhen's wife, she is not his first wife.

Jia Zhen has two sons, one named Jia Rong, who was born to Jia Zhen's first wife and has no blood relationship with You.

In addition, Jia Zhen also has an adopted son named Jia Qiang.

Logically speaking, after Jia Zhen left, Jia Rong was the most likely to take over Ningguo Mansion among them.

However, I don’t know what considerations Jia Mu had in making You the head of the family.

Of course, in addition to Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, there is another person who is qualified to take over the Ningguo Mansion.

Although this person is a woman, she is still considered to be a good person.

This person is none other than Jia Zhen's sister, Jia Xichun.

If nothing else, at least she is a member of the Jia family. If she is at the helm, it will be more legitimate than letting an outsider, Youshi, be the head of the family.

And the reason why Ningguo Mansion is complicated is another aspect.

You's family background is not good, and she is not from a big family.

She also has two younger sisters, Second Sister You and Third Sister You.

However, these two sisters are not related by blood to You.

In addition, Second Sister You and Third Sister You's biological mother are here, so they also have ideas about Ningguo Mansion's property.This idea was nothing else. They didn't object to the You family being in power.

However, they were very concerned about what benefits she could give the two sisters of the You family, including Mrs. You, after taking power.

At the end of the day, this is a matter of who is a family with whom.

Although among these people, the only ones who are related by blood are the two sisters of the You family, as well as the aunts and nephews Jia Xichun and Jia Rong.

However, through in-law relationships, their group has become attached to the big tree of Ningguo Mansion.

On the day when You just came to power, Mrs. You came to her to ask for money.

The reason is very simple. Although I am a stepmother, I still have the kindness to raise you.

Now that you have control over the Ningguo Mansion's property, you naturally have to use some of it to honor your mother.

In addition, you have two younger sisters who have not yet left the government, and now you have to pay to support them.

Of course, this is just Mrs. You's words. It is unknown whether the two You sisters have this idea.

After all, they are both girls who have not yet left the court, so they probably won’t think about it that much.

Faced with Mrs. You's request, Mrs. You was in trouble and couldn't tell her.

As soon as I took over this mess, I asked myself to take money out to take care of my natal family. It is estimated that those old ladies, wives and ladies in Jia's family will definitely have troubles if they find out.

However, Mrs. You did not talk about anything else, but she was right about one thing, that is, she did take care of him for two years.

Therefore, facing You Lao Niang, she could only use the "delay" trick on the grounds that she did not understand the situation in the house for the time being.

Despite this, You knew very well that what she did was just a temporary measure. As long as she was in this position for a day, Mrs. You would definitely not stop coming to ask for money.

However, if it's just Mrs. You, it's not too difficult to deal with.

The problem now is that on her first day as the helmsman, Jia Rong, who usually has a bad relationship with her, dragged her brother Jia Qiang over to make trouble.

His main request was to let You choose one of them to take charge of the Ningguo Mansion.

He also cited the example of the son of the Zhang family and the Li family who was still in charge of the government even though he didn't have a family.

In response to this, Youshi didn't know how to respond at all, so she had to ask them to go to Jia Mu for instructions.

However, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang didn't dare to go to Jia Mu because of their peeing habits, so they vented all their anger on Youshi.

In addition to the above-mentioned pressure, the servants of Ningguo Mansion did not have much respect for her as the mistress.

This kind of disrespect mainly stems from two points. First, You's family background is not as noble as the wives of other houses. To put it bluntly, there are no rich or powerful people in her natal family, and most of these servants are just looking at the food and eating. Therefore, You's situation can be imagined.

Another point is that Youshi is not very talkative on weekdays, and she can be described as a gourd with a sawed mouth. How can such a woman support such a large family business.

It is precisely because of these two points that most of the servants selectively obey Youshi's words.

At this time, Youshi had to deal with Jia Zhen's funeral while also dealing with pressure from all sides. She was on the verge of collapse.

From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't want to meddle in those nosy matters, but looking at the entire Ningguo Mansion, there are not many people who can keep this family business without losing it.

The two brothers Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are two dandies who are incompetent in literature and martial arts. If this family fortune is handed over to them, it is estimated that it will be ruined in a few days.

Therefore, Youshi, who took over the Ningguo Mansion, felt as bitter as if he had swallowed bile.

At this time, she was kneeling in front of Jia Zhen's mourning hall in a white filial piety, with tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

However, You Shi was not crying for Jia Zhen, but for herself.

Of course, this is just the situation she is facing now, what she is really worried about is what to do next.

It is foreseeable that in the days to come, everything will have to be faced alone.

And she, after all, is just a woman.

Thinking of this, You couldn't help but feel sad and dejected.
