came out of Wang Xifeng, and Zhou Rui's family came to Jia's mother's side. As soon as I walked through the alley, I saw my daughter dressed up and coming from her mother-in-law's house.
Zhou Ruijia hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here at this time?" ”
Her daughter smiled and replied, "Mom has always been okay?" I've been waiting at home for a long time, and I haven't seen my mother go out, so I'm so busy with anything that I can't go home? I got tired of waiting, so I went to the old lady to say goodbye, and now I am about to go and greet her. Mom, what other errands are she not done? What's in your hand? ”
Zhou Ruijia said with a smile: "Hey, it's all my own trouble, there is a Grandma Liu today, and I ran for her for a long time." Now my aunt has seen me again, and she wants me to send a few flowers to the girls and grandmothers, but they haven't been delivered yet. You must have something to do when you came here at this time. ”
Her daughter smiled: "Your old man really knows how to guess that I am indeed in trouble." Let me tell you the truth, your son-in-law drank too much wine two days ago, had a conflict with others, and was set on an evil fire, saying that his origin is unknown, and he was reported to the yamen and wanted to be sent back to his hometown. So I'm here to discuss with you, the old man, to see which one to ask for. ”
Zhou Ruijia said: "I knew you must have something, but it's a big deal!" You go home first and wait for me, and I'll go home after sending flowers to Miss Lin. At this time, my wife and second grandmother are not available, you go back and wait for me. What is this, it is busy like this. ”
When the daughter heard this, she turned around and went back, and then turned back and said, "Mom, you have to come back quickly." ”
Zhou Rui's family said: "Okay, the child hasn't experienced anything, so he is in a hurry like this." ”
It turned out that the son-in-law of the Rui family this week was Leng Zixing, a friend of Jia Yucun. Recently, because of the sale of antiques and lawsuits with people, I asked my wife to come to Jiafu to beg for favors.
Zhou Rui's family relied on the power of their master, and they didn't take these things to heart at all, and they only asked Sister Feng to solve them at night.
Brief comment on the manga gentleman:
It's a vignette, seemingly inconsequential, but the author's stroke of genius.
This little episode involved Leng Zixing.
Leng Zixing is a small person who sees the rise and fall of people with a cold eye, but he is also an extremely important figure. He made a grand appearance in the second time, and through the dialogue with Jia Yucun, he gave a detailed speech about the two mansions of Ningrong and Rong.
When I first read "Leng Zixing's Speech on Rongguo Mansion", two major questions arose:
Clause. 1. Leng Zixing is just an antique dealer, why does he know so clearly about the affairs of Jiafu's inner house?
Clause. 2. A man loves to gossip about other people's inner houses so much, isn't he afraid of being beaten?
Sure enough, when I read the seventh chapter, I found the answer.
Why does Leng Zixing know everything about the inner house of Jiafu? Because her mother-in-law, Zhou Rui's family, is also a gossip person.
Will Leng Zixing be beaten? No, there will be a lawsuit coming to the door, and maybe there will be gossip among them.
This is the meaning of this little episode, which explains why Leng Zixing was able to become the spokesperson of the two mansions of Ning Rong and gave a detailed speech to the Jia Mansion.
But I see a different meaning in it.
Zhou Rui and his wife were both married by Mrs. Wang, and followed Mrs. Wang to Jiafu and became the servants of Jiafu. Then, their children are the domestic slaves of Jiafu.
According to the custom, the slave born in the family should be assigned by the master to marry the slave and continue to serve the Jia Mansion.
However, Zhou Rui's daughter married Leng Zixing, an antique dealer, and broke away from slavery.
This shows that Zhou Rui and his wife did not want their daughter to continue to be a slave, so they relied on their love with their master, ransomed their daughter and upgraded to a commoner, so that they could marry Leng Zixing.
So the question is, when it comes to getting rid of slavery and becoming a commoner, shouldn't you think about your son first? The son was freed from slavery, and he did not have to be a slave for generations.
As can be seen from the following article, Zhou Rui has a son.
On the forty-fifth occasion, Mama Lai came to the house to entertain her, and by the way, she interceded for Zhou Rui's son. Just because Zhou Rui's son was drunk on Sister Feng's birthday, he missed "scattering a yard of steamed buns", and scolded Caiming who was ordered by Sister Feng to say that he was there.
This really touched Sister Feng's moldy head, not to mention that on that birthday, Sister Feng also had a boring scene because of Jia Lian's stealing food, and she happened to make Zhou Rui's son angry, so she wanted to kick him out.
For this matter, Zhou Rui's family also knelt down and begged Sister Feng, but Sister Feng refused to give face at all, until Mama Lai was soft and hard, and Sister Feng had to let Zhou Rui's son go with "beating him forty sticks" as a punishment.
It's all to the point where you're going to be kicked out, so why not just ask for a favor and get out of the country? With Zhou Rui's family background, even if he gives him some capital to follow Leng Zixing to do business, it is better than continuing to stay in Jiafu and be a slave, right?
This is really puzzling, the only explanation is that Zhou Rui and his wife value women over men, hoping that their daughter will have a better future, but they don't have much hope for their son, so let him eat in a big pot in Jiafu, even if he is lazy to eat, he can have a place to live and worry about food and clothing.
Zhou Rui's couple's wishes are beautiful, and their plans for their daughter are also feasible, but it's a pity that they are unladylike when they meet people, and they marry Leng Zixing, a mediocre person with a big mouth and ability, and his mother-in-law has to come forward to help him settle things when something happens.
