Jia Baoyu's poems and essays are very popular, and the people who help him sell his essays are brothers in the family. They don't cheat him, and he doesn't like to spend money. Jia's mother left him a lifetime of wealth, so she is quite wealthy privately.
He was not good at managing money, so after getting married, all the accounts were taken care of by his wife Shi Xiangyun.
In recent years, Shi Xiangyun has been busy leading ladies and grandmothers in Beijing to do good deeds for the poor and the elderly. The large garden in Rongguo Mansion was originally a big house, but now the garden is too small. It is usually a place to have tea and enjoy flowers.
It was not cheap. So I bought a garden not far from Ningrong Street, added basin stones, and trimmed the flowers and trees to entertain female guests. Furthermore, Shi Xiangyun felt more comfortable as a host. When Jia Cong came to trust her for charity, he
I brought half a libretto, and there was a sentence in it that Shi Xiangyun liked very much. "It's just like the moonlight and the wind shining in the jade hall." So he named the garden "Jiyue Garden".
It was the time when the chrysanthemums were in bloom. As usual, Shi Xiangyun invited the female relatives of the duke's mansion to come to Jiyue Garden to enjoy the flowers. Among them was Mu, the second grandma of the Zhenguo Mansion. Mu originally loved flowers and plants, and Shi Xiangyun saw
The post was written in a romantic way, but I have been feeling depressed recently, so I happened to go for a walk to relax. When I arrived at Jiyue Garden, a familiar female family member said: "I heard that Second Grandma Bao really annoyed her brother-in-law once - that Nezha
Jia Cong from the lower realm is now favored by the prince more than anyone else. In the past two or three months, the prince brought some people out from the palace, so Jia Cong asked his old man to borrow the gardener who usually took care of the imperial garden to help with the gardening.
Take care of the garden." Mu looked around and saw that the garden was indeed much more exquisite than when spring came. He couldn't help nodding his head and praising the gardener's skill.
For a while, all the ladies, grandmothers and girls scattered around to enjoy the flowers. Because Shi Xiangyun was the master, he was very busy and was busy in all directions. Mu, who has always been a trouble-free person, just said hello to Shi Xiangyun: "Just go and go and don't worry about me.
, Anyway, I come here often." Shi Xiangyun smiled and saluted: "Thank you, Second Grandma, for loving me." He then shamelessly asked her to help take care of a girl, saying that she was a relative from the south, named Chen. The Mu family looked at the girl's appearance
She was very elegant, and her clothes and jewelry were expensive, refined, and elegant. I was secretly shocked. This was indeed the first time that Miss Chen came back to Jiyue Garden. Mu took her to several exquisite sights, paying close attention on the way, and took some pictures with her.
He casually asked her about her origins. Except for knowing that her maiden name was "Ruijin", she ignored the rest. The two of them went back and forth and played charades for a long time, which was quite interesting.
As he walked to a secluded bamboo path in the northwest corner, there was a small pavilion lying on a rockery rock in front of him. Chen Ruijin said, "It must be nice to look down from up there."
Mu said with a smile: "It's really beautiful. I go up to this garden to take a look every time I come back."
Chen Ruijin said: "There are some flowers and plants on this rockery, so it is quiet for no reason. I'm afraid there will be a scene if we go up there."
Mu loved peace and quiet, and she especially loved to be alone. Fortunately, Chen Ruijin was a refreshing person. So she first sent someone up to check, but there was no one in the pavilion. She then ordered her followers to wait below while she and she stayed alone.
After leaning on the railing and enjoying the breeze for a while, Chen Ruijin suddenly said: "Sister-in-law Bao'er said that a few days ago she recommended to Mistress Niu a book called The Sentimental Swordsman's Ruthless Sword."
Mu's face changed slightly: "Then I just need to take a look at the notebook."
Chen Ruijin said: "The person in charge got the time wrong, so you two sat in the temple waiting for more than an hour. There are no other books to read, so reading this commentary is nothing." Mu said "Teng"
stood up. Chen Ruijin said, "Second Grandma Bao doesn't know anything. My fiancé thought that maybe the third princess would also like to watch Lu Lin's comments, so he did a little test."
Mu's face darkened: "Who is your fiancé and what do you want?"
Chen Ruijin said: "My fiancé's name is Jia Cong, and he is Grandma Bao's brother-in-law. Grandma Bao looks smart, but she is actually quite easy to deceive. She has nothing to do with this matter. Jia Cong is Shi Li's friend."
There were countless thoughts running through Mu's mind just now. When she heard the word "Shi Li", she immediately turned pale. She looked around in panic. Seeing that there was no one else around, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "What does he want to do?"
Chen Ruijin shook his head: "Shi Li didn't want to do anything, but Jia Cong felt it was a pity. So he borrowed the commentary to test the princess's mind."
Mu sneered and said: "Mr. Jia means that Shi Li is just like Li Xunhuan and has his own difficulties?"
"No." Chen Ruijin said, "Shi Li was just as bastard as Li Xunhuan back then, and there was no difference in quality of bastard. However, Shi Li is better than Li Xunhuan now." She paused, shook her head, "I don't understand what Jia Cong said next.
I really can’t tell.”
Suddenly I heard a male voice say from the rockery outside the house: "That's all, it's a bit shameless, let me tell you. Third Princess, don't worry, I know you are a very well-behaved person and will not go in."
Mu's eyes turned: "Could it be Mr. Jia?"
"Yes, I am Jia Cong." The person outside said. Mu's face was filled with irony before she opened her mouth. When will Jia Cong be willing to let people talk to her honestly? She said quickly, "I'll go on. Miss Mu.
, Um, Princess Mu, Shi Li is better than Li Xunhuan in that he regretted it; and after he regretted it, he did not drink and do nothing to relieve his sorrow, but thought about how to get his sweetheart back. The ancients said, know
Mistakes can be corrected, and there is no great improvement. Why don't the princess give him another chance? He was still young at that time and had not really experienced the pain of lovesickness. Young people will inevitably make mistakes. Besides, Shi Li has grown up after all.
He has a handsome face. The ancients said that if you are handsome, you are right in everything you do. Princess, don’t look at the monk’s face or the Buddha’s face, just think that his stinky skin is not bad, and give him a chance. "
Mu Shi turned to look at Chen Ruijin in a funny way; Chen Ruijin whispered: "I don't know him."
"Shi Li and Niu Jicheng are different." Jia Cong said again, "I believe Niu Jicheng also likes the princess. However, if you change his family background, appearance, and temperament to a woman who is not inferior to the princess in everything, he will
He would also want it; if Shi Li were given a woman with a different family background, appearance, and temperament, who was as good as the princess in every aspect, he would not want it. There are too few infatuated people in the world, and the princess would be so lucky to meet one.
It’s because of this that I feel pity for you. Give him a chance. You can bully him for the rest of his life. Wouldn’t it be better to live a life of humiliation in Zhenguo Mansion?”
Mu said loudly: "I wonder where Mr. Jia heard the gossip from. I am living a miserable life in the mansion?"
Jia Cong said "cut": "Niu Jizong's wife killed your son, do you think the Niu family's treatment is fair?" Mu family suddenly couldn't stand anymore, his feet went weak, and he sat down tightly holding on to the railing. Jia Cong
Cong said again, "Moreover, Shi Li is naturally restless, and a woman who falls in love with him will be restless. She must like excitement inside. If the princess is willing to give him another chance, there is no chance that he will be able to leave the compound.
From now on, the sea and the sky are brighter. Even if you earn your freedom with Shi Li's help, it won't be a problem to get rid of him in the future when you have developed enough skills. I won't use this to seduce the sparrow under the eaves who has no ambition."
"Shut up!" Mu shouted, "My second master Cheng has nothing to do with me."
Jia Cong smiled softly: "Why don't you give it a try and see if Niu Jicheng can't be sorry to the third princess? Just try to tell him how your first child didn't happen. If Niu Jicheng is willing to stand up for justice for his wife, let Niu Jicheng
Grandma got the punishment she deserved - Shi Li lost. I would advise him to have a good cry, bury you deep in my heart, and then fall in love with another woman in two years."
Chen Ruijin took a deep look at Mu: "If he endures this for the sake of his brother and the family's face -"
Jia Cong continued: "As time goes by, this kind of thing will only happen more and not less. Can we endure it for a lifetime?"
There was silence in the pavilion for a while, and Chen Ruijin said: "The age difference between the eldest and second masters of the Niu family is more than ten years. When Mrs. Niu was pregnant with Uncle Niu, someone who had been in the house next to Mr. Niu secretly tampered with her.
Although it was discovered later, Uncle Niu was still a premature baby. The Niu family was originally a martial arts family, but he had never practiced martial arts because he was weak when he was young. For this reason, Mrs. Niu inevitably felt that she owed her eldest son.
I prefer him. Mrs. Niu was injured when she gave birth to Uncle Niu, and it took her more than ten years to raise Mr. Niu again."
Jia Cong said outside: "Three Princesses, you were still young at that time. Pregnancy at that age can easily lead to habitual miscarriage. You have only been married for three years, and Mrs. Niu is anxious to raise a bastard in your care."
The person in front of me is obviously a knowledgeable person. She suffered a big loss in this when she was young, so she must learn this knowledge. She probably thinks that you will not be able to raise children in the future. However, I have a question. Grandma Niu Jiang
She is the daughter of Pingyuan Houfu. Does she know? Does she know that you have had a miscarriage at your age and may have difficulty raising children in the future? You should know that she and Niu Jizong already have two legitimate sons. And Niu Jizong, he
I really don’t know what his wife did? As the eldest grandson of a martial arts clan like the Niu family but unable to practice martial arts, he must be under a lot of pressure. People, especially well-educated people, mostly do things that don’t matter.
It is fair and noble. Once something involves your own interests, your conscience and morality will all go to hell."
Mu couldn't help but gasp, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand. After a long time, she suddenly came back to her senses and shouted sternly: "What is Mr. Jia's purpose of alienating the friendship between the two families in our house?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I don't know anyone from the Zhenguo Mansion at all! Besides, is the friendship between your two families caused by me? Isn't it caused by the Jiang family?"
Chen Ruijin reminded from inside: "Look at the expression on the third princess's face, I'm afraid she's trying to guess what you're thinking. You've managed to explain this section clearly."
"Yes!" Jia Cong stood outside, bowed and clasped his fists. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I rarely encourage women to leave home. Without him, most women these days have no ambitions. Or they may have had ambitions when they were young, but as time goes by,
Looking back, I suddenly realized that my ambition was childish and ridiculous. Or I was once full of hope, but my disappointment turned into despair for too long. Looking back, I thought, if I had known this, it would be better not to have hope. After getting married, I just guarded the small yard.
Appreciating flowers and cooking tea, raising husbands and raising children. Although the days are not as satisfactory as expected, the patience will pass. If you want to break these stable days, it is like a gamble. It is naturally good, but what if it does not work? Nine times out of ten bets, you will lose.
.However, I have to say it again, a woman who would fall in love with Shi Li would not be able to settle down. Why don’t you give it a try? Maybe you can live a happier life?"
Mu sneered and said: "A happier life? My life now is already very good, how can there be a better one?"
Jia Cong said: "Have you ever heard of Zhou Xiaolan, who single-handedly subdued tens of thousands of pirates and conquered the Kingdom of Java? There is also our Taiwanese military advisor Lin, who is strategizing and full of wisdom. Veterans on the battlefield are convinced by her. My fourth sister has also traveled all over the country.
Traveling across the country, life was very exciting. There was a female bandit in the Shu Kingdom who was originally the granddaughter of Fang Xiong, the governor of Jiannan, but now she has become a hero in the green forest. Only the incompetent sparrows are content under the eaves, but the confident swans are not afraid of the sky.
.Rules can only restrain the people at the lowest level, because they are unable to change. Third Princess, the world is very big, do you want to go and see it?" Mrs. Mu gritted her teeth and said nothing.
After a moment of silence, Chen Ruijin took out a booklet from his arms and said, "This is what Jia Cong coaxed people to write for him."
Mu opened it and glanced at it a few times: "The handwriting of Second Grandma Bao of Rongguo Mansion."
Jia Cong sighed outside: "Everyone in our house who can write articles is doing serious things now. Sister-in-law Zhu, I don't dare to trust her, so I coaxed Sister-in-law Bao to drive her out. For this
, I promised to find an excuse for her to let her go south to play for a while. What a pity, she is also the daughter of a general, and she has not left the capital five hundred miles since she married into our house."
Chen Ruijin said: "In my opinion, she still can't figure it out. The second wife's illness has not been a year or two. She is just the daughter-in-law, and she is not a daughter who is born to care about her mother. The second wife does not lack people to take care of her; just because of her reputation
If you can’t move under pressure, why bother?”
Jia Cong said: "Now it seems that Sister-in-law Huan San likes to travel. If she goes out more often, Sister-in-law Bao will be more relaxed. Speaking of which, Sister-in-law Zhu is the one who has been stuck at home for the longest time. When I was a child
I have studied with her, and she is also a lively person. Whenever possible, I can find an excuse to coax her to go out for a walk. Even if I don’t go abroad, it is good to go for a walk in the country. There are so many mountains and rivers. Laner is not young at all.
Now, she won’t be able to walk if she doesn’t go out. I don’t know if she can ride a horse or not.”
Chen Ruijin smiled and said: "Didn't you say that the fastest person to learn to ride a horse was Sister-in-law Lian?"
Jia Cong also laughed: "My father has always regarded his daughter-in-law as an outsider. Only that time I saw that she learned to ride a horse quickly, and I saw that she was much more pleasing to the eye than the second brother Lian."
The two of them kept whispering in Mu's ears. If anyone else had said these words, she would not believe them. How could they drive the female family members of the inner house to the mountains and rivers? But... that shrew of the Rongguo Mansion, Si.
Everyone in the capital knows this girl well. They all despise her for speaking openly, or they regret that she was young and ignorant at the time, and made big mistakes when she spoke without restraint. In fact, there are also many people who secretly envy her for her ability to travel around the world.
Mu's heart suddenly felt uneasy.
Chen Ruijin noticed the change in her expression and sighed softly: "Princess Mu just gave up her heart. How old are you? You gave up your heart? Time has changed, can't it be said that the world has changed? After leaving the square-inch greenhouse,
If you can live like yourself, then your journey to this world will be worthwhile."
Jia Cong said: "Even if you no longer despise Shi Li, you can still try to be sincere to Niu Jicheng for a while. Don't say that you are sincere. Since you are hiding others in your heart, you cannot be sincere to him. Stop pretending to be a virtuous person.
Shude, show your temperament when you were unmarried. If you don't like him having sex with your concubine, show him jealousy. If you don't want to raise a concubine, don't raise him. If you can't bear his sister-in-law harming your son, let him.
Come forward to avenge you and see what Niu Jicheng means. Let me say it again, if he is willing to stand up and seek justice for you and your son, if he wins and Shi Li loses, I will persuade Shi Li to give up. Shi Li will give up first.
, the opportunity fell into the hands of Niu Jicheng. If Niu Jicheng didn't seize the opportunity, why not give it to Shi Li again? It's not too late to make up for it, you are all still young."
Mu's eyes suddenly brightened up! They dimmed again after a while, and she said with a wry smile: "How have I ever provoked you? You are teasing me with this."
Jia Cong shouted outside: "Because you are a courageous person and deserve a better life." Chen Ruijin covered his face in the pavilion. When he let go of his hand, Mu Mu was actually moved! He couldn't help but secretly marveled: It's so boring.
Can words really move people?
That night, Mu sat alone in front of the case and looked at the booklet that Jia Cong had coaxed Shi Xiangyun to write. Her handwriting was blurred with tears.
It was a small commentary, and it still wrote the story of Green Forest. Near the end, the woman in the book said: "I always thought I won; until one day when I looked in the mirror, I realized I lost.
When I was at my best, the person I loved most was not by my side. It would be great if I could start over." Then the woman died. (. Just Love Network)
