Chapter 16 Red Mansion 14
Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian went south with Jia Zhu. They will also take part in the scientific examination this time to try the water.

No one had much hope that they would become scholars.

However, with their ability, they should be able to pass the exam as a child student.

When Liu Heng returned home, he found that his whole family was beaming with joy.

Jia Yuanchun's brows were filled with joy and shyness.

Liu Heng raised his eyebrows and had a guess in his mind.

Sure enough, Mother Liu smiled and said: "Hier, you are going to be a father."

Liu Heng pretended to be happy: "Really? That's great."

He walked to Jia Yuanchun's side, took Jia Yuanchun's hand, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard." Jia Yuanchun was even more happy, "I'm very happy."

When Mrs. Wang heard that her daughter was pregnant, she came to Liu Mansion to visit her daughter the next day.

Seeing that there was only a familiar girl named Baoqin next to Jia Yuanchun, he asked: "How many Cuiyan are there? Why aren't you waiting by your side?"

Jia Yuanchun said: "I found a family for them and let them get married."

Mrs. Wang: "Confused! That's the marriage option I specially prepared for you. Their families are all in Rongguo Mansion, so it's easy to handle. If you send them away, who will serve your uncle during your pregnancy? Is it possible? Do you want to promote a girl from the Liu family?"

Jia Yuanchun shook his head and said: "My husband said that he does not want other women to serve me. During my pregnancy, he stayed in the study."

Mrs. Wang hates that iron cannot be made into steel: "How can a man not cheat? Maybe he has a mistress in the study. Aunt Zhao, isn't it the red sleeve that your father put in the study to add fragrance?"

Jia Yuanchun argued: "My uncle promised me that I would not have concubines in the same room, so there will be no concubines. The servants who serve in my uncle's study are only servants and elderly mothers-in-law, and there are no young women."

Mrs. Wang still didn't believe that Liu Tong wouldn't cheat, but Jia Yuanchun believed that she couldn't defeat her daughter, so Mrs. Wang could only leave in frustration.

In his heart, Jia Yuanchun suffered a loss and realized that he should listen to his own mother.

But unfortunately, until Jia Yuanchun gave birth, Mrs. Wang did not wait until Liu Ping took her aunt to clear the house.

While she was happy for her daughter, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

How could my daughter have such a good life and meet a good man like her son-in-law, but then marry a good-for-nothing hypocrite?

Mrs. Wang felt depressed and suppressed herself until she fell ill.

Fortunately, the news that Jia Zhu was admitted as a scholar came back to the capital, and Mrs. Wang felt relieved and recovered from her illness without taking medicine.

Not long after, Jia Zhu followed Lin Ruhai and his family back to Beijing.

In the original text, Lin Ruhai died in his position as a salt patrol censor.

That's because he belongs to the Supreme Emperor. The emperor knew that Lin Ruhai was in a difficult situation, but he would not help him. He would only drain Lin Ruhai of his last bit of usefulness.

But in this world, the emperor saw that Lin Ruhai was Jia Hu's uncle, and because Lin Ruhai was really talented and capable, the emperor let his power in Jiangnan help Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was very sensible and immediately expressed her loyalty to the emperor and became the emperor's man.

Therefore, he no longer wasted his time in the dangerous position of Salt Patrol Censor. The emperor issued an order and recalled Lin Ruhai back to the capital.

Of course, Lin Ruhai would not return to the capital without any merit.

He had in his hands most of the information on Jiangnan Salt Affairs and evidence of collusion between salt merchants and local officials.

Once the emperor obtained these information and evidences, he could attack the Jiangnan officialdom and salt fields.

Both Jia Daishan and Jia Shi were very happy that Jia Min and Lin Ruhai returned to Beijing, and they directly asked the Lin family to live in Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Ruhai thought that the Lin Mansion still needed repairs and maintenance, and his wife had not seen her parents for a long time. She wanted to be filial to her parents, so she agreed to stay in Rongguo Mansion.

There was a grand banquet in Rongguo Mansion, and Liu Heng, the grandson-in-law, also returned to Rongguo Mansion with his wife.Meeting Lin Ruhai again, Lin Ruhai nodded with satisfaction and praised Liu Hao.

The daughter and son-in-law came back, and the second grandson passed the examination to become a scholar.

Jia Dai, a good man, was in high spirits on happy occasions and drank several glasses of wine with his son-in-law and son.

Jia Baoyu circled around Lin Daiyu and Brother Lin, mainly around Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu didn't hate this third cousin. She felt that he was a bit friendly, as if she had seen him somewhere.

Jia Baoyu had the same idea, but he would not point at Sister Lin rashly and say "I have seen this sister" like in the original article.

Without the evil influence on the psychic jade, although Jia Baoyu likes good colors, he knows how to behave and will not do anything rude to girls.

After years of tutoring from her husband, Jia Baoyu no longer knows how to say "daughters are water" and "students are silverfish".

Jia Min looked at Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu getting along, her eyes flickered, and she looked at her mother.

Jia Shishi received her message and said with a smile: "How's it going? Two Yu'ers are suitable, right?"

Jia Min nodded, but frowned slightly and whispered: "Second sister-in-law may not like Daiyu."

Jia Shishi snorted and said, "I'm still here, so she can't even think of bullying Yu Yatou."

Jia Min was even more excited, but thinking that her daughter was only seven years old, she was still young, so she said, "Let's wait until they are older. She is still too young now."

Jia Shi thought it was right and changed the topic.

Mrs. Wang did not listen to the conversation between mother and daughter Jia Shi and Jia Min. Her thoughts were all on her son Jia Zhu.

Now that his son is back, he can help him look after his wife.

Jia Hu was born in Rongguo Mansion, and his younger brothers and sisters also became in demand.

However, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng have a good relationship, Rong Guofu and the Wang family have a tacit understanding, Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Cong are still young, so naturally Jia Zhu is the one who gets the most attention.

These days, Mrs. Wang met many ladies who wanted her to inquire about Jia Zhu's marriage.

Mrs. Wang was very proud and wanted to marry Jia Zhu a wife with a high family status and a generous dowry.

After the dinner, Liu Heng and Jia Yuanchun returned home.

The first thing Jia Yuanchun did was go see his fat son.

Liu Hao followed his wife and watched Jia Yuanchun hugging and interacting with his fat son.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Two days later, while Liu Tong was still in the Hanlin Academy, he received news from his servants: Jia Daishan was dead.

He died in his sleep with a smile on his face.

Jia Daishan should be satisfied.

He lived more than ten years longer than in the original text, and saw the third generation of Rongguofu grow up and be able to assume the important responsibilities of Rongguofu.

Seeing that their grandson is more capable and capable than their labor force.

——This time not only Jia Zhu passed the exam, but Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian also luckily became scholars.

Seeing the birth of the fourth generation of Rongguo Mansion: Jia Hu's son was born one month earlier than Liu Heng's son.

I saw my daughter happily returning to her parents’ home to visit relatives.

Jia Daishan should feel that his life is complete enough.
