Chapter 6 Red Mansion 4
“Several servants in the second wife’s yard acted recklessly, causing the second wife to almost have a miscarriage. The old lady of Jia Mansion made the decision and all of them were driven out of Rongguo Mansion.”
< br>The end cannot be as easy as just being kicked out of Rongguo Mansion.
Jia Daishan is not a soft-hearted person.
After all, he wanted to murder his eldest grandson, his eldest daughter-in-law, and his youngest grandson.
Wang was pregnant with a descendant of the Jia family, and he could not kill him.
But how could Jia Daishan let go of those slaves who plotted to kill their master?
This is indeed the case. All the Wang family’s confidants were disposed of by Jia Daishan and the bodies were returned to the Wang family.
Not only could the Wang family not disobey the Wang family, they also gave a large portion of their profits to the Jia family as an apology.
Jia Hu was nourished by the spiritual energy sent by Liu Heng, and her fever quickly subsided and her body recovered quickly.
As soon as he recovered from his illness, he came to Liu's house to see Liu Hiong and talked about his farewell to the Zhang family on behalf of the Zhang family.
As the prince's husband, Zhang's father was implicated when the prince rebelled.
Fortunately, several years ago, the prince did not listen to Zhang's father's advice and alienated him.
This time the prince rebelled. When Zhang's father heard the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood and never got up again.
After the emperor found out, he did not take action against the Zhang family, but the Zhang family did not dare to stay in the capital anymore. They resigned one after another and returned home with Zhang's father's coffin.
Mrs. Zhang suffered a lot due to childbirth and could not get up, so she had to let her husband and son take her place to say goodbye to her mother's family.
Jia Hu had a very good relationship with several uncles and cousins. He was very sad about this separation and the possibility of never seeing each other again.
Jia Hu was in a state of mental distress for several days.
He finally regained some energy after coming to Liu's house to meet his friends.
Liu Heng comforted his friend and took out toys to divert Jia Hu's attention.
The toy is checkers, which Liu Hieragi made to pass the time.
Playing checkers with two people is not much fun, so Liu Heng roped in the personal maids of Ji Qiu and Jia Hu, and the four of them played checkers.
Children’s attention is easily diverted, and it didn’t take long for Jia Hu to forget the sadness of parting with her relatives.
He stayed in Liu Mansion for a day, and when he left, he took the checkers given to him by Liu Heng.
Liu Heng turned around and went to find Liu's father, and played a game of checkers with Liu's father and Liu's mother.
Naturally, Liu Heng won in the end. Liu's father was not convinced and called for another round.
Liu Hao said with a smile: "Dad, don't rush to the next game. Just ask, is this checkers fun? Will many people like it?"
Father Liu: " It’s fun and a lot of people will definitely like it.”< br>
Mother Liu interjected: "This checkers is a great way for ladies and girls from various families to pass the time. It's more interesting than leaf cards."
Liu Hiiragi: "Then if we sell checkers, will anyone buy them? ?”
Although Father Liu was not smart, he was not stupid either. He immediately understood what Liu Heng meant.
He didn't want to play chess anymore and stood up immediately: "I'll make arrangements right away."
Although the Liu family's life was not poor, they were not rich either.
The output of the shop and Zhuangzi is enough to feed a family of three for a year, but the social gifts pale in comparison.
Every year at the end of the year, Mother Liu would rack her brains for giving New Year gifts.
Now that there is a way to make money, Father Liu will not let it go.
Not long after, the shop under the Liu family’s name began to sell checkers.
Father Liu made three levels of checkers based on Liu Hiiragi's suggestion.
The top-grade checkers pieces are made of jade of various colors, and the chessboard is also made of jade. They are sold extremely expensively, with a set of checkers costing one thousand taels of silver.
The medium-sized checkers pieces are made of precious wood inlaid with fine jade and gold threads, and cost one hundred taels of silver per pair.
Low-level checkers and chessboards are made of the most common wood and can be purchased for only a hundred copper coins. Among them, the most advanced checkers are the best-selling ones.
There are many rich people in the capital.
Later, checkers spread among the aristocratic circles and then spread to the circles of ordinary people.
Sales of lowly checkers have just begun to rise.
The Liu family made a lot of money this time, at least one hundred thousand taels of silver.
But that’s it.
Chess has no technical content. It didn’t take long for other merchants to start selling checkers.
The business of Liujia Shop began to plummet.
Liu's father and Liu's mother were peaceful, and they were not unwilling to get angry. They had already made enough money.
One hundred thousand taels of silver was the combined property they received when they split up.
Their family’s assets suddenly increased several times.
The two of them took out the money and bought two shops and a village.
Zhuangzi is a bit far from the capital, but its area is three times that of the previous Zhuangzi, and its output is also considerable.
After this, Mother Liu no longer has to worry about annual gifts.
Life went smoothly and peacefully, and soon after, Liu's mother became pregnant.
She gave birth to a younger brother for Liu Tong. Liu's father named his younger son Liu Chun, with the nickname Xianglian.
Liu Xiang: "..."
My younger brother is actually the cold-faced gentleman Liu Xianglian in Dream of Red Mansions?
Liu Hiong poked his younger brother's tender face with his hand sympathetically and watched as drool flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Liu Tiao: "Don't worry, brother, I will protect you and prevent you from being deceived into marriage, being relied upon, and finally becoming a monk."
When he watched "Dream of Red Mansions", Liu Tiao felt that Liu Xianglian It's a big mistake.
You Sanjie is having an affair with Jia Zhen and her son, how can she be a chaste and martyr girl?
It's just "the old bustard is a good person".
How did Liu Xianglian wrong her?
Ningguo Mansion really only wants the stone lions to be clean - Xichun grew up in Rongguo Mansion, not from Ningguo Mansion.
She was ashamed to commit suicide. She just found a place to commit suicide, and she happened to die in front of Liu Xianglian, which stimulated Liu Xianglian to become a monk.
Liu Heng doesn’t even like the You sisters.
Although the endings of the two of them were pitiful, they were all their own fault.
Second Sister You married Jia Lian, but she hoped that Wang Xifeng would die soon so that she could make room for her.
Wang Xifeng knew what Second Sister You was thinking, could he not kill her?
When the two sisters couldn't bear hardships and only thought about wealth and wanted things that didn't belong to them, their fate was doomed.
After learning that his younger brother was Liu Xianglian, Liu Hao began to pay attention to his parents' health.
The book says that Liu Xianglian’s parents died young and she was brought up entirely under the care of the family’s old servants.
Liu Tong wanted to protect the lives of Liu's father and Liu's mother, and asked the two to discipline Liu Xianglian, lest he grow into the prodigal in the book who failed to study and slept in flowers and willows.
Although modern opera singers can be called artistic workers, it is an elegant profession.
But in ancient times, actors were low-class and looked down upon.
Liu Xianglian in the article went on stage to act, which in the eyes of the nobles was a sign of self-destruction.
Don’t blame Xue Pan for teasing Liu Xianglian, and don’t blame Liu Xianglian for growing up, but there is only one third sister You who is willing to marry him.
How could other aristocratic families marry their daughters to a guy who has accomplished nothing and is willing to degenerate?
