Chapter 333 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 4
As soon as Jia She moved his private treasury, Jia's mother quickly received the news from the servants. Although Jia's mother had long ceased to be the housekeeper, she was still the first to know about any major or minor changes in the mansion. Even the second wife, Wang, who was the actual housekeeper, did not receive the news as quickly as Jia's mother.
Grandmother Jia was already trapped in a dream and was paying much attention to Aunt Li from the first house. Now, Jia She's action suddenly made Grandmother Jia's mind flash and she thought of something.
"Yuanyang, hurry up! Go and get the master over here for me! Quick!"
"Yes, old lady."
On the other hand, Jia She had already discussed the time and place of departure with Aunt Li. According to Jia She's idea, Aunt Li did not need to go too far, and could just live in a Taoist temple outside the city under the pretext of self-cultivation. The brothers Jia Jing, the heads of the Ningguo Mansion next door, lived there all year round. There were people related to the Jia family there, so it was easy to arrange. After Aunt Li gave birth to a child, he would be raised as a boy in the Taoist temple.
Aunt Li was unwilling to do so. Although her dream did not explicitly state that Jia Yingchun had to leave the capital to escape the first fate, Aunt Li still felt that it would be better to stay away from the Jia Mansion and the capital to be on the safe side.
She had been a maid in the Jia family for seven years and a concubine for three years. She saw the chaos among the servants in the Jia family very clearly. As long as she stayed in the capital and the people serving her were still the servants of the Jia family, it meant that the fact that Jia Yingchun was disguised as a man could not be concealed.
So what if it was a Taoist temple? Aren’t the people coming and going still the children of the Ningguo Mansion? The children of the Ningguo Mansion and the Rongguo Mansion were intertwined, and their relationship was so complicated that it was hard to sort out. How could they not be discovered?
Aunt Li did not hide her thoughts and naturally said so. Anyway, she had to leave with the baby in her belly no matter what, so there was no need for her to be afraid even of the master.
Jia She was speechless after hearing Aunt Li's question. It was not as if he was unaware of the chaos in the Jia Mansion, but because such things did not affect the enjoyment of a master like him, he naturally turned a blind eye to it.
Now that his concubine said this to him, Jia She couldn't help but feel a little angry and ashamed. Fortunately, this conversation took place after the servants of the Jia family were dismissed. Otherwise, if the servants of the Jia family heard Aunt Li describing them like this, the news would probably spread within three days, and Aunt Li and the child in her belly would completely offend the servants of the Jia family.
Jia She is still relatively young, and his ambition has not been completely worn away by the years. He has not yet become absurd. After Aunt Li said this, he finally understood everything.
Before he could make a decision, the gatekeeper came over to tell him that the person sent by Lady Jia to look for him had arrived.
"Mother wants to talk to me about something. I'll talk about it when I get back."
After Jia She left, Aunt Li's courage to question Jia She suddenly disappeared. She took a deep breath and leaned against the bed with her weak legs.
Jia Yingchun used her mental power to "see" everything clearly. Aunt Li was essentially afraid of her "husband" Jia She, just like the first wife Xing. In "Dream of Red Mansions", except for Wang Xifeng who was a little tougher on Jia Lian, almost all the wives were obedient and weak to their masters, which shows that the social customs here were like this. Aunt Li, a concubine, dared to refute the master's arrangements. She was really "a strong mother".
Jia Yingchun was once again thankful that she could change Aunt Li's fate of dying in childbirth. While Aunt Li was anxiously waiting for the final result, Grandmother Jia and Jia She had already started chatting about Aunt Li.
Jia She was really filial to his grandmother at this time. When his grandmother asked him about his dream, he signaled her to send the servants away, and then told her everything. When his grandmother heard Jia She talking about his dream, her heart trembled violently.
If one person dreams about it, it could be a coincidence, but if three people dream about it, it is not a coincidence, but a foreshadowing!
"I also had the dream you mentioned."
"Mother, did you also have this dream?" Jia She was shocked. His mother's words made him believe in dreams even more. "I wonder what mother thinks of this dream?"
Seeing Jia She asking, Jia's mother told him some of her speculations about the future of the Jia family from her dream, and said: "It seems that the dream should be a sign from God to our Jia family, a ray of hope for our Jia family. Since it is a sign, why don't we listen to it? Since it is a chance of survival, why don't we seize it?"
After hearing Jia's explanation, Jia She was deeply impressed. He was worried about the bad future that Jia's mother had described, but he was also excited about the foreshadowing and vitality that Jia's mother had mentioned.
"Then according to what the mother said, what should the son do?"
Grandmother Jia did not answer directly, but asked: "She'er, what are your plans for meeting Aunt Li today?"
"Mother, I originally planned to send Aunt Li to live in the Taoist temple where Brother Jing lives. It's quiet there with few people and they are all arranged by the Jia family, so there's no need to worry about anything going wrong."
"It's just that Aunt Li doesn't want to. She wants to take the child back to Jinling. She says that since it's a secret, no one else can know about it, not even the servants in the Jia Mansion."
"My son hasn't decided yet."
Grandmother Jia pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered that in the second fate in the dream, Jia Yingchun was raised in Jinling and passed the imperial examination from Jinling.
So Grandmother Jia recounted the situation in her dream and asked Jia She if this happened in his dream. Jia She thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed as Grandmother Jia said, so he nodded.
"Xie'er, since the dream has already foretold it, let's proceed according to the arrangements in the dream."
"Just listen to Aunt Li. In three days, tell them that I dreamed of your father. In order to make your father feel at ease, I specially arranged for Aunt Li and her unborn child to return to Jinling and live near the Jia family's ancestral tomb. On the one hand, it will let your father see his descendants, and on the other hand, you will be separated from the illegitimate line in advance."
"Sons listen to their mothers."
Since Grandmother Jia has already given a solution, Jia She was naturally happy for his mother to help solve the problem, especially since it would not do him any harm at all. Jia She quickly waved his hand.
Jia Yingchun's predictive skill is still on cooldown, so she has no way of predicting whether she and Aunt Li can successfully leave the Jia Mansion in three days. Therefore, as soon as she wakes up, she will use her mental power to receive various information happening around Aunt Li.
But Aunt Li is just an concubine, and the people and scope of people she contacts every day are fixed. If Jia She doesn't come, she can only wait.
Fortunately, Grandmother Jia was much more efficient than Jia She. That night, a good show of an old man appearing in a dream and shedding tears on the pillow was performed. Naturally, the two filial sons, Jia She and Jia Zheng, immediately rushed to Grandmother Jia's Rongxi Hall to inquire.
Grandmother Jia said that she dreamed of their father Jia Daishan. In the dream, Jia Daishan told her that he felt lonely staying at the ancestral tomb in Jinling and wanted to find a younger person to accompany him.
