Chapter 97 Family Separation
In the garden, Baoyu, who was away from school, found that his eldest sister was choosing a dowry wife, and the ones she picked were all the kind of women who looked tall and thick.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the second and third sisters, and even Sister Feng, look envious.
Did he walk in the wrong way, or something else?
Baoyu was extremely confused.
Isn’t it bad to have a dowry maid?
Sister Baoqin is very nice. The eldest sister told him last time that she and Sister Baoqin are like sisters.
But now...
He huddled aside secretly, watching the eldest sister pick someone, and seeing that Sister Feng and the second sister were very reluctant to let go of the fat woman named Mrs. Liu.
Huh?
Baoyu felt that this old woman looked familiar. If she looked carefully, she was the one watering the flowers in the garden.
Because of his strength, he was valued by the second sister and the third sister, and then he was seen by Sister Feng. He was transferred to Sister Feng half a month ago. Why is the eldest sister trying to steal people from Sister Feng again?
Baoyu is very confused. There have been too many things at home that have puzzled him recently.
Everyone seems to be different.
First his grandmother, then his father, mother, and his eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law sometimes looked at him with complicated eyes.
Especially when they see his jade.
Thinking of his jade...
Baoyu touched it hurriedly.
In the past, he didn’t want to wear it, so everyone forced him to wear it.
But now, no one seems to want him to wear it.
But...
The less everyone lets him do anything, the more Baoyu wants to do.
He wanted to see what was going on.
But until now, he still doesn't know what happened.
Moreover, his parents are still trapped in the ancestral hall of Dongfu. He might be able to go there and have a look.
Remembering that his eldest brother was there to accompany his parents, Baoyu quietly withdrew and transferred directly to the East Mansion.
"Baoyu?"
Looking at the child bowing to her seriously, Shen Ning smiled and waved, "Why are you here alone? The maid beside you Where is the mother-in-law? "
"I left my studies with my husband and asked them to send my books back first. "
Baoyu's little face is chubby and has some baby fat." Uncle, I want to go to the ancestral hall to accompany my uncle, my father, my mother, and my eldest brother.”
Shen Ning: "..."
The smile on her face slowly faded, and she took his little hand, "Do you want to go on your own, or did someone tell you something?"
"I want to go by myself."
The child's voice was clear and pleasant, but there was a sad look on his face, "Big brothers are all there."
"I want to go there. "Kneel down."
"I can do it."
Baoyu has a determined face, "I can kneel down."
If my parents can kneel down, so can he. .
Shen Ning touched his little face, "They made a mistake, so they have to apologize and repent to the ancestors there. You did nothing wrong. If I let you go, what misunderstanding did the ancestors have? What to do?”
“I told my ancestors that I just want to be there with my parents and brother.”
"..." Shen Ning smiled, "Then do you have any homework today?"
"There is a big letter."
"Have you finished it?"
" ...No!”
Baoyu’s little head lowered.
"How about this? You go back and finish writing the big characters, then have a meal, wash up, and then go to the ancestral hall to accompany your parents and brothers in the evening?"
"...Thank you, Auntie! "
Baoyu smiled, "I'll go back and write the big characters right away"
"Be good!"
No matter what, the little guy is still very cute at this time.
At this time, Shen Ning already knew that on the day of the wedding, the Rongguo Mansion even went to greet the spring and visit the spring, but Baoyu was deliberately forgotten.
It’s rare that this kid is willing to take the initiative, so go ahead!
"Qingping, send Baoyu back."
"Yes!" Qingping bowed slightly, "Second Master Bao, let's go!"
"Uncle Mom, my nephew is leaving!" Baoyu also saluted quickly, "I'll greet you later in the evening."
"Go!"
Shen Ning frowned as she watched the child follow Qing Ping away happily. I couldn't help but frown.
For some reason, she always felt that Jia Zheng and Wang might not welcome Baoyu into the ancestral hall.
It’s not that they love their children, but they simply don’t want to see them.
Especially Jia Zheng.
Without Baoyu, he still has Jia Zhu and Jia Huan.
She couldn't help but sigh softly.
That piece of jade...
When the old lady saw Qing Ping sending the jade back, she must have asked why, right?
Shen Ning really hopes that the old lady can keep Baoyu and prevent him from entering the ancestral hall.
Otherwise, even if he is allowed in, he will still take off the psychic gem.
That's what she thought, but the old lady didn't seem to want to care about Baoyu too much. Just after dinner, Baoyu came over neatly dressed, "Auntie!" He saw her hugging her Jia Yue's eyes seemed to light up all of a sudden, "Is this sister Yue?"
"Yes!"
Shen Ning glanced at the child still hanging around her neck. Psychic Baoyu squatted down and said, "Come, let's say hello to brother."
Baoyu came over in a hurry.
Jia Yue's little hand pulled and suddenly grabbed his piece of jade.
"Huh? My sister also likes jade!"
Baoyu leaned her neck forward, trying to make Jia Yue's grip more comfortable, "Auntie, my sister's hands are strong."
I heard that such a small child has little strength.
Baoyu actually wanted to hug Jia Yue, but he also knew that he was weak and it would be bad if he fell his sister.
“Good boy, let go.”
Shen Ning didn’t expect her daughter’s hand to be so fast.
She quickly opened it carefully.
"Auntie, you can play with my sister for a while."
Baoyu is very generous.
"That's not okay." Shen Ning smiled, "She's still young, so you can just grab her, but your arms will become weak if you hold her for a long time." She turned her daughter over to the wet nurse, "Aren't you going to enter the ancestral hall? Let's go, Auntie. I'll send you in."
She wanted to see whether Jia Zheng was moved or disgusted by Baoyu's admission into the ancestral hall.
“Thank you, Auntie!”
Baoyu’s eyes did not leave Jia Yue, “Auntie, why don’t you bring your sister with you?”
“Your sister is still here? I'm young."
Shen Ning refused, "Let's go. Let me make it clear to you first. If your parents don't want you to be in the ancestral hall, you have to go back if you can't resist them."
"...Hmm!"
Grandma said the same thing when she came over.
Baoyu is mentally prepared.
However, he felt that his mother must miss him very much, and maybe she could let him stay with her for one night.
Shen Ning touched his little head and said, "If your parents agree, follow your eldest brother. He also brought a lot of books in. If you ask about homework, answer it well."
Baoyu: "..."
Are there still classes at the Kneeling Ancestral Hall?
He was simply stunned.
Seeing the change of color on the little guy's face, Shen Ning smiled unkindly, "If you regret it now, I can still ask someone to send you back."
"...I didn't Regret."
Baoyu only hesitated for a moment, then persisted, "As long as my brother asks me what I have learned, I will definitely be able to answer it."
"That's fine, your brother will definitely not. It will embarrass you.”
No matter how bad Jia Zhu is, she will definitely be better than Jia Zheng.
Shen Ning pulled him and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall.
"Mother, why are you here?" Jia Zhen thought something was going on at home, but when she saw Baoyu following her, she couldn't help but look back at Jia Zheng.
"Brother Zhen, I am here to accompany my uncle, father, mother, and brother."
As Baoyu crossed the threshold, he called out, "Father..."
“Go back!”
Jia Zheng shouted.
Baoyu was startled. Shen Ning had quick eyes and quick hands. He stretched out his hand and finally prevented the child from falling.
"Sister-in-law, this is not the place Baoyu should come to."
Wang also said hurriedly: "Baoyu, be good, go back quickly."
"I don't, I want to Accompany you.”
Baoyu cried immediately, "Mother, I..."
"Beast, don't you even listen to your father's words?"
Jia Zheng is particularly annoyed with this child now, especially He also brought the piece of jade.
Without this piece of jade, would my sister-in-law dare to bring Yuanchun back like this?
“Leave quickly!”
The words were spoken to his son, and Wei Feng was also played on his son. However, Shen Ning, who was standing next to Baoyu, felt that he was partly targeting her. .
"The old lady agreed to let him come."
Shen Ning's voice was unhurried and unhurried, "It's been a few days, and the child has missed you."
Jia Zheng: "..."
Wang: "..."
The two of them felt great hatred.
Why are they being held here?
Why don’t you dare to bring it up again?
Why, if one plan fails, another plan will be created?
If you want to trick Baoyu and suffer in front of them, they can't bear it, so they can agree to separate the family?
That was a dream!
For a moment, Mrs. Wang looked at Shen Ning with fire in her eyes, "Sister-in-law, you should know better than us what kind of place this is. You asked Baoyu, a child, to come here. It's cold at night. If he gets sick, Can you replace me?”
“I’m wearing thick clothes!”
Baoyu hurriedly waved to the maid in the back, “I also brought a small quilt, mother, I will definitely not be cold. "
Wang: "..."
She was going crazy.
The eldest son is disobedient, and the younger son is disobedient as well.
"Mother~"
After hugging the quilt handed over by the maid, Baoyu looked at her parents and suddenly felt a little scared, "I...I miss you."
< br>Ms. Wang: "..."
My son was still standing in the bright place, with a timid look on his face, and a deep yearning for him.
Her tears suddenly welled up again, "Sister-in-law, can Baoyu go out tomorrow?"
"Of course!"
Shen Ning said: "He will finish school today I came here and I asked him to go back and do his homework and have dinner. He has to go to school early tomorrow.”
It turns out that he hasn’t been here all the time.
Jia Zheng's anger dropped, but it quickly rose again.
Kneeling in the ancestral hall is enough to make him angry, but the sister-in-law also let this child make him angry.
Jia Zheng turned his head, out of sight.
"Baoyu, come here, come to my brother."
Jia Zhu waved to his brother, "Thank you, mother-in-law, for sending Baoyu here. He will come with me tonight."
< br>"Go!"
Shen Ning patted the little guy and asked him to go over, "Zhen'er, Baoyu is still young and fell asleep at night. You can put him on the couch with you."< br>
“Yes!”
Jia Zhen agreed.
Shen Ning was about to withdraw, but she didn’t expect that Jia Mu would come over at this moment, "Aunt? Brothers and sisters, why are you here?"
The person supporting Jia Mu was Mrs. Xing, and behind her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Li and Wang Xifeng were also following.
"Light a few more candles."
The old lady naturally extended her left hand to Shen Ning and asked her to hold it, "Today, I have something to tell you."
Shen Ning: "..."
She couldn't help but glance at Xing and Wang Xifeng.
The two shook their heads slightly at her, indicating that they didn't know anything.
"Come on, go, call your grandma here and ask her to bring two more sets of paper and pens."
Jia Mu made a decision and originally thought we would talk about it in two days. The family is separated, but the pitiful child Baoyu is coming over...
Fortunately, Yuanchun's search for her today has been covered up by choosing a dowry wife.
"These days, I have thought about it again and again, and decided to give She'er and Zheng'er a separate home first." She said while bowing to the place full of memorial tablets.
What?
Jia Zhengru was struck by thunder.
Wang also looked in disbelief.
Even Jia She was stunned.
"She'er, after the family separation, is it possible for your brother to not leave the house for a while?"
"...Listen to mother."
Jia She is still a little dazed and can't bear it. He gave Shen Ning a look of help.
Shen Ning pretended not to see it.
What kind of glances were exchanged at this time, Wang, who was about to explode, might have to get up and fight her desperately.
“Family separation is to divide the things in the family, not to create a gap between you brothers.”
Jia Mu sat on the chair brought over by Jia Zhen, "Niece-in-law, you also sit down."
"Yes!"
Shen Ning also bowed to his ancestors before sitting down Arriving at the chair that Li Wan and Wang Xifeng brought together.
"I have not cared about the house these years."
The old lady looked carefully at Jia Daishan's memorial tablet, then at the burning incense burner, and sighed in her heart, "But last year It’s just that after marrying two wives, the father-in-law actually has no money, so much so that the Wang family wants to use the money from the father-in-law to repay the national treasury.” If she goes down, if she dies, the two brothers will probably fight.
The old lady said again: "Although I got married later, if I continue like this, what will happen to the children in the future?"
"Mother~"
Jia Zheng on one side Crying bitterly, he endured the pain and walked over on his knees, "My son will not separate the family as long as his parents are here. You are trying to cut his son's heart!"
"It doesn't count as family separation. I am old. When I get older, I might go with the Duke one day, and I’ll give you what I owe you as soon as possible.”
It's not that Jia Mu can't speak.
She has loved her second son for so many years, how could she let her go all at once?
However, the more she thought about her eldest granddaughter’s words, the more sad she became.
Originally she wanted to stay up for two more days, but she also understood that she probably wouldn't be able to sleep well during these two days.
Fortunately, the grandson insisted on coming over to see them.
The old lady thought and got it done quickly.
After all, in this family separation, it seemed that She'er had left Zheng'er's burden behind, but in fact, Zheng'er took advantage of her presence.
"She'er, Zheng'er, Yuanchun's dowry, the father-in-law gave out three thousand taels of silver. She is the eldest daughter in the family, so the father-in-law also subsidized a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings, almost five thousand taels. Two. I mean, in the future, the marriage of the children will be based on three thousand taels."
The old lady clapped her hands, and the two women came in and put it down carefully. Exit, "She'er, you have many nieces and nephews, may they take advantage of you?"
"Mother!"
Jia She knelt and crawled over, "What is the difference between nieces and nephews and the son's biological children? The son is willing to give it to them and is happy to give it to them."
He would rather give it to his nephews and nieces than give it to his second brother. and two younger siblings.
“The family doesn’t have much cash, so they can divide part of the property. The family can help look after it, and they can take care of it themselves. They can also control their own income, and they can treat me as my uncle and... ...and the love of the second brother.”
Leave it to the children, but he didn’t believe that the two couples could get away with the children.
"Good, good!"
Jia Mu was very satisfied.
Compared to the grand eldest son, who only cries and is afraid of suffering a loss, the second son is far behind.
It was the second daughter-in-law...
She glanced at the second daughter-in-law, who looked like she was crying but was actually looking at the box. She was very upset, "The ones marked with red pen are the shop, the village and the yard. You can go over and pick out Yingchun, Tanchun, Baoyu, Huan'er, and Cong'er."
The Lai family and Zhou Rui have actually opened many shops, small villages, and small courtyards.
It's just right to give the kids points.
"Daughter-in-law Zhen, you are here just in time, and daughter-in-law Zhu, please note the ones you chose."
