My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 190 Jia Mu fainted

Jia Yu chatted with Jia Mu for a while and then left.

He returned to the yard where Yuanchun lived, took out a pen and paper and began to write and draw.

The wool matter involves all aspects of interests, and he definitely cannot handle it alone. This is why he wants to involve Wang Zhijie and the Xungui Group.

Before time travel, his father, who had been immersed in the business world for half his life, often told him to never think about making all the money.

When you really make all the money, that's when you become alone.

While Jia Yu was busy, the door was pushed open, and a graceful figure walked in.

Yuanchun sat down next to him, looked at him with soft eyes, and said softly: "Husband...have you really thought about Tanchun?"

Jia Yu put down the pen in her hand, put her arms around Yuan Chun's soft waist, and tried to put her hand in, but Yuan Chun held her down.

A fair oval face turned red instantly, and she begged in a low voice: "Husband...it's daytime now. If someone sees me, will I still be alive?"

Jia Yu said aggrievedly: "I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to touch our child to see if he was naughty."

"Puch!"

Yuan Chun couldn't help but laugh out loud, stretched out her slender jade fingers and tapped his forehead lightly,

“The child is only more than three months old, how can he move?

I have worked hard during this period, husband. If you can't help it, just go to Qingwen. If Qingwen is not satisfied by herself, you can also go to Jinchuan or Baoqin.

Anyway, these two girls will definitely not reject you. "

Motoharu pouted as he spoke.

Seeing that Yuan Chun, who usually looked like a confidant elder sister, actually had a childish side, Jia Yu's heart suddenly became hot and her breathing began to quicken.

The two were hugging each other now, and Yuanchun noticed it immediately.

He was so frightened that he struggled to stand up, but was held by Jia Yu and couldn't move.

She could only beg for mercy angrily: "Brother Yu... we are talking about business."

"Then...what we are doing is business now."

"But don't forget, I'm not feeling well now, so I can't act recklessly."

"I don't mess around, I must be very careful."

"But I am afraid..."

"Don't be afraid...the doctor said it will be fine after three months."

"Can……"

"It's nothing but...I know what I know..."

"Then you must be careful..."

"Um……"
-

In the study room in the east courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, two brothers, Jia She and Jia Zheng, sat opposite each other.

"Second brother, you are so confused. How can you promise Tanchun to Brother Yu? If word spreads, our Rongguo Mansion will be shameless?"

"Brother, this matter was all caused by my aunt. When I found out, it was already too late. I can't go back on my word."

Faced with Jia She's questioning, Jia Zheng didn't seem to care much and instead persuaded him.

"Tanchun is a concubine after all, how difficult is it to find a well-matched person to be your main wife?

But if the person who asked her to marry a small family was unwilling to do so, it would be better to promise him to Brother Yu instead of settling for a high level or a low level.

Although it is a bit unfair to just be a concubine, with Brother Yu's temperament, he will definitely not treat her badly. Brother, what do you think? "

To be honest, Jia Zheng only found out about this yesterday.

In fact, he didn't agree with it at the beginning, but it would be annoying if he couldn't stand Aunt Zhao.

After being tortured by Aunt Zhao for half an hour, and almost losing half of his life, he had no choice but to agree to the matter.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he increasingly felt that promising Tanchun to Jia Yu would be a good destination.

After all, she is just a concubine. Even though her appearance and talents are first-rate, a wealthy family will never let such a girl become their main wife.

If he were given to those common people, he could be the main wife, but the virtues of those common people from high-ranking families would be obvious just by looking at Ning Rong's Second Mansion.

Most of them are old, and after being given a sum of money, they are kicked out of the master's house and live alone, and the amount of money given depends on how much the mistress and father value him.

Of course, there are also bastards who are especially loved by their fathers. Before the family is separated, they will be arranged by the family to find connections and arrange a position.

But this situation is still relatively rare. After all, the official positions in the imperial court are not big cabbage and can be distributed at will.

Taking the Rongguo Mansion as an example, Jia Lian, the eldest son, could only donate money to a fifth-grade Tongzhi, not to mention the other concubines.

After being analyzed in this way by Jia Zheng, Jia She was speechless.

He twirled his beard in his hand, rolled his eyes several times, and then said, "By the way, since Brother Yu wants to take Tanchun as his concubine, doesn't he have nothing to say?"

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

Jia Zheng was a little annoyed when he heard this.

"We promised Tanchun to Brother Yu so that she could live a good life, but we did not sell our daughter. How can we compare Tanchun to those things belonging to Adu?"

Looking at Jia Zheng who spoke righteously, the contempt in Jia She's heart was almost written on his face.

But in order to satisfy his curiosity, he still suppressed his displeasure and said patiently:

"That's not what I meant. Although Brother Yu knows that you don't care about this, as the old saying goes, etiquette cannot be abolished.

"Li·QuLi" also said, "When buying a concubine, if you don't know her surname, take her.

We don’t have to be greedy for that little money, but we always have to have etiquette. "

Look, who said Jia She was uneducated?

When it came to money, he even pulled out the Book of Rites.

Jia Zheng had no choice but to say vaguely to his brother who was obsessed with money:

"Brother Yu didn't say anything about this, but Yuan Chun is the one who is in charge of matters in Uncle Dingyuan's house now, so it's not easy for me to interfere."

Jia She's eyes flickered, "Second brother, I heard about it.

This time Brother Yu led the troops to attack, but he went straight to the Tatar royal court.

That is the royal court of the Tatars. There is no gold or silver in it, but there will definitely be no shortage of good things. Why didn’t you ask? "

Jia Zheng's expression suddenly changed: "Brother... Although Brother Yu is my son-in-law, how can I, as the elder, covet the money of the younger generation?"

"I didn't tell you to ask Brother Yu." Jia She frowned and said, "But you can at least ask this girl Yuan Chun. I don't believe she dared not tell me about it to you."

"no!"

Jia Zheng was really speechless for this brother. When he was thinking about how to reject Jia She's words, there was a knock on the door.

Soon, Ms. Xing walked in wearing a dark blue dress.

After seeing Mr. Xing, Jia She cursed impatiently: "What are you doing here? Didn't you see that I was talking to my second brother?"

Mrs. Xing said a little aggrievedly: "Master, there is nothing I can do about it.

The old lady just sent someone to say that Brother Yu plans to entertain some relatives and friends of ours at our house the next day to discuss matters. We need to be prepared in advance so as not to be in a hurry when things happen. "

"A banquet for old friends and relatives?"

When Jia She heard this, his eyes flashed and he quickly asked: "Who are there?"

Ms.

It seems that the Prince of Beijing, the Prince of Nan'an County, the Prince of Zhenguo, the Duke of Liguo, the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Zhiguo, and the Duke of Dingcheng have all invited me, but the other concubines are unknown. "

"Listen...listen..."

Jia She's eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "Brother Yu definitely didn't invite so many people here to reminisce about the past.

It was necessary to discuss important matters, but they didn't reveal anything to us beforehand. This doesn't mean that I, as my father-in-law, take your father-in-law seriously.

By the way...it's not a small expense to entertain relatives and friends this time.

Brother Yu can't let our Rongguo Mansion pay for it, right? "

"Brother... you..." Jia Zheng was furious for a moment, but he didn't know how to refute it. After all, Jia She's words seemed to be correct. Why should you pay for your treat?

But fortunately, Mrs.

Among them, one thousand taels are the expenses for entertaining relatives and friends in the future.

The other ten thousand taels are the betrothal gift for the second master and his younger siblings, so there is no need to worry about the cost. "

"Eleven thousand taels!"

Jia She cried out, and even his voice changed. If you look carefully, you will find that this guy's eyes have now changed into the shape of Brother Kong Fang.

At this time, his eyes no longer had the disgusted look just now, but were replaced by envy and jealousy.

He did not expect that Jia Zheng would receive a gift of 10,000 taels for marrying a concubine.

Don't think that ten thousand taels of silver is nothing to a home like Jia Mansion. In fact, Jia Mansion has begun to enter a period of decline.

The first person to feel this was undoubtedly Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper.

In later generations, people will scold Wang Xifeng for being evil-minded and even daring to usurp money. No wonder she couldn't give birth to a son. In the end, even her daughter almost ended up in a brothel.

But has anyone ever thought about it, doesn’t Wang Xifeng know that loan sharking is unethical?

Of course she knew, but why did she still do it?

It was not because the Jia Mansion was already in the sunset at that time and could not make ends meet. In order to maintain the expenses of the Jia Mansion, Wang Xifeng engaged in such unscrupulous activities.

Otherwise, if she had money in hand, she would only do such a thing of giving birth to a son without a butthole when she was full.

Nowadays, life in the entire Jia family is becoming more and more tense, and Jia She is naturally not immune.

As an old man who likes to collect antiques and raise a young wife, his expenses are only much more than that of a second house.

Now when he saw that Jia Zheng could get ten thousand taels of silver just for marrying a concubine, his eyes almost turned red.

Thinking of ten thousand taels of silver flowing past his eyes, Jia She felt his heart aching.

Thinking of this, he no longer wanted to talk. After chatting with Jia Zheng for a few more words, he sent Jia Zheng away.

Then he asked Ms. Xing: "What is the old lady doing?"

Mrs. Xing said: "It's dinner time now, and the old lady is preparing to eat."

"Okay...I'll be there right away."

"Master, what are you doing here?" Mrs. trip.

"Of course I have something to do in the past." Jia She waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, you go to eat first."

After saying that, Jia She hurried out the door.

Arriving at Rongqing Hall soon, he rushed in without waiting for the announcement from the mother-in-law who was guarding the door. He happened to see Jia Mu eating rice porridge made from rouge rice, served by Yuanyang.

Seeing Jia She actually barging in, Jia Mu put down her bowl and chopsticks displeased.

"She'er, you're not in your east courtyard, why did you come to me?"

Because he ran too fast, Jia She was slightly out of breath. He said anxiously: "Mother, I heard that Yuanchun just sent someone to give you more than 10,000 taels of silver. Is this true?"

"That's what happened." Mother Jia wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at her son, and said slowly:

"The eldest girl said that apart from the one thousand taels of silver that will be used to entertain relatives and friends the day after tomorrow, the remaining 10,000 taels of silver will be given to Tanchun's body.

Among them, five thousand taels are for me as a filial piety to Zheng'er, and five thousand taels are for Aunt Zhao to buy a dowry for Tanchun.

Why...do you have any thoughts about this money? "

Jia She smiled coquettishly: "No matter what my son does, he will never ask for a dowry for his niece.

The son is thinking, isn't Brother Yu taking concubines? Taking one is taking concubines, taking two is also taking concubines.

The girl Yingchun has now reached the age of marriage, and her situation is similar to that of the girl Tanchun.

Since the second child can promise Tanchun to Brother Yu, it is better to simply give Yingchun to Brother Yu, so that the two sisters can have company.

The betrothal gift required by my son is not high, just the same as Tanchun... eh..."

Before Jia She finished speaking, his forehead was hit by a flying object, and he let out a scream instantly.

It turned out that in anger, Jia Mu picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on his head. A stream of blood instantly flowed from his forehead.

"I'll beat you to death, you evildoer..."

Mother Jia was so angry that her body began to tremble. After smashing a tea cup, she still couldn't get over her anger. She grabbed the agarwood crutch next to her and was going to beat Jia She, but as soon as she stood up, she started to shake.

The frightened mandarin duck on the side quickly supported her.

When Yuanyang helped Jia Mu, she saw that Jia Mu had closed her eyes and fainted. She was so frightened that she shouted loudly.

"Old lady...you must take care of yourself!"

"Hurry...come quickly...go and ask for the doctor."

As Jia Mu fainted, the entire Rongguo Mansion began to fall into chaos.

When Jia Yu and Yuan Chun received the news and rushed there, Rongqing Hall was already crowded with Jia family members.

However, everyone did not worry for long, and soon Jia Mu woke up on her own.

By coincidence, Dr. Wang from the Imperial Hospital also arrived. After some diagnosis and treatment, Dr. Wang said:

"The old lady's body is still in good shape. This time she just fainted due to excessive fright and anger. She only needs to take some calming soup to adjust her condition for a few days.

It's just that the old man is old after all, and he must not make him angry again in the future. "

Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng and others agreed without any hesitation. After having someone pay the consultation fee, they sent someone to send Dr. Wang back.

After Doctor Wang left, Jia Zheng turned to look at Jia She and asked in a bad tone: "Brother, what happened just now? Why did my mother suddenly faint?"
