Chapter 336 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 7
Chapter 336 Dream of Red Mansions - Jia Yingchun 7
After Jia Yingchun's full moon, the house was built and Aunt Li moved in with Jia Yingchun and the two servants. The Jia family's land was not particularly large, but it was not small either, and the population was large. Fortunately, the place Aunt Li chose for her residence was quite remote, so not many people came and went.
Soon, the news that Aunt Li had safely given birth to a child and settled down not far from the Jia family's ancestral tomb spread back to the capital. Now the only people in the Jia family who cared about Aunt Li were Grandmother Jia and Jia She and his son. After receiving the letter, Jia She was quite doubtful and he couldn't help but run to ask Grandmother Jia.
"Mother, we received a letter from Jinling saying that Aunt Li gave birth to a 'son'."
Jia She emphasized the word "son" very much. He was very excited in the first few days of the dream, and he wanted to see the "Wenquxing" who was born in the wrong body as soon as possible. But after Aunt Li passed away, Jia She calmed down and began to doubt the truth of the dream, especially the letter from Jinling, which only said that Aunt Li gave birth to a son, but it was unclear whether it was a daughter pretending.
Jia She was somewhat curious as to whether Aunt Li gave birth to a daughter as he had imagined in his dream, but he did not dare to send a letter to Aunt Li to find out the truth.
When Jia Mu heard what Jia She said, she knew that her eldest son had finished his work and remembered the problem. Seeing him so useless, Jia Mu couldn't help but sigh and said.
"She'er, you have to understand one thing. No matter whether Aunt Li gives birth to a boy or a girl, it can only be a boy. There is no point in worrying about it."
"Now the important thing is to name the child and put him in the family tree."
Logically speaking, Jia Yingchun should not have been named and included in the family tree since she was just born, because children were difficult to raise in ancient times and many died young. However, because both Jia Mu and Jia She had had that dream, in which Jia Yingchun, whether a boy or a girl, grew up successfully, there was no obstacle to this.
Since it has been decided to recognize Jia Yingchun as a boy, it would be better to finalize the family tree as soon as possible. This matter cannot be repeated. If there is any room for flexibility, the Jia family's retreat will no longer work.
"Then according to what the mother said, what should we name the child?"
Since Grandmother Jia has spoken, it would be better for her to choose the name of the child. When Grandmother Jia heard Jia She say this, she naturally would not refuse. She thought about it carefully and finally decided on the name Lang.
Jia Lang, Jia Lang, Fake Lang, are the same as the young men of the Jia family of Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, and Jia Zhen's generation, and are also pronounced the same as "Erlang". They are young men of the Jia family, fake men.
Jia She didn't think so much about it. He happily wrote the name given to Jia's mother in a letter and sent someone to Jinling. He also took the opportunity to go to the Taoist temple, find the clan leader Jia Jing, and ask him to open a ancestral hall and write Jia Lang's name into the family tree.
As early as when Aunt Li was allowed to leave, it was Grandmother Jia who decided to release Aunt Li's indenture and change her status from a lowly concubine born as a maid to a good concubine born as a commoner. Jia She was not aware of this, as Grandmother Jia did it in private. She thought that changing Aunt Li to a good concubine's status would allow Aunt Li to live a more decent life in Jinling and would also allow her to better protect Jia Lang, the illegitimate son.
Along with Jia She's letter, there was also Aunt Li's indenture. When Aunt Li received it, she cried sincerely. She was the daughter of a scholar and had been ambitious since childhood. Her ideas were different from those of family-born children. Being able to regain her freedom made Aunt Li very grateful to Grandmother Jia.
It was also because of this incident that Jia Lang had a different understanding of Grandmother Jia in "Dream of Red Mansions". She suddenly realized that she had some prejudice against the characters in "Dream of Red Mansions" in the past, and Grandmother Jia might not be as indifferent to her granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law as she imagined.
Perhaps there would be no need for him to sever his ties with the Rongguo Mansion in the future. Even if their property would be confiscated in the future, judging from the plot, even Jia Baoyu, the nobleman raised in the mansion, was not implicated, and later even took part in the imperial examination. Presumably, he, a bastard who was separated before he was born, would not be implicated either.
By maintaining the relationship with the Jia family, he would not be implicated, and he could also rely on the remaining power of the Jia family to "rule the law" in Jinling before he grew up. Moreover, if he had the opportunity, he might even be able to grab more property before the Jia family completely collapsed...
Jia Lang thought a lot, but it didn’t matter at all because she was still a child who could only drink milk.
The days passed like this as Jia Lang ate and slept, and when awake he used his predictive skills and tried every means to upgrade his skills. In the blink of an eye, Jia Lang was one year old.
"Ji Lang, go, go grab your favorite thing."
Aunt Li prepared a simple one-year-old ceremony for Jia Lang. The former second girl had completely become Jia Erlang in Aunt Li's mouth. Aunt Li did not give Jia Lang any special nickname. She just called Jia Lang Erlang according to his ranking in the first house of the Jia family.
Jia Lang grabbed the books and brush as a matter of course. She was destined to take the imperial examination in her life, so there was no need to worry about it. When Aunt Li saw that she really grabbed these things, she was proud but also worried.
Disguising as a man to take the imperial examination is a dead end. If there is any other way to choose, Aunt Li does not want to do this, but there is no way. Every time she can't bear to give up, she can always dream of the future after Jia Lang returns to his female body and various tragic deaths.
If her child is destined to be a boy to survive, Aunt Li has to do it even if it means risking the death penalty.
Obviously, Jia Lang did it. Every time she predicted that Aunt Li would regret something, she would make up a dream for her, reminding her that if she was raised as a daughter again, she would die.
At the same time, Jia Lang did not forget Jia She and Jia Mu in the Jia Mansion. It was not that he was afraid that they would regret it, but that he was afraid that they would forget him. Jia Baoyu was about to be born, and he did not want to be completely forgotten. If there was a chance, he was also thinking about whether he could get the magical jade that Jia Baoyu was born with.
It's a rare opportunity to come to a world where there are some humans, ghosts, fairies and monsters. If I don't make some special products, it would be a complete waste of this rebirth.
At the Jia Mansion in the capital, last night Lady Jia caught a cold and had a cough. When everyone in the Jia Mansion heard the news, both young and old, out of filial piety, they all gathered in Rong Xi Hall to pay their respects to Lady Jia. Fortunately, the doctor examined her and said that Lady Jia was not in serious condition and only needed to take a few medicines.
After hearing the doctor's words, everyone finally put their worries aside. They were talking about the late spring cold and the need to continue wearing winter clothes when they heard Grandmother Jia suddenly ask, "Is today the sixth day of March?"
Everyone in the audience was puzzled, only Jia She knew what Jia's mother meant, and replied: "Yes, today is the sixth day of March. Mother has a good memory. She still remembers that today is Lang'er's first birthday."
After receiving the letter from Jinling, Jia's grandmother sent Nanny Lai to secretly take Jia Lang's birth date and time to have someone calculate his fortune. Nanny Lai said after she came back that the Taoist priest said that if this birth date and time were for a boy, he would hold great power and have a successful career, but if this birth date and time were for a girl, she would be lonely and helpless and would not live long.
