Miss Lin Family of the Red Chamber

"Your father is busy at the office, and he has to show Zhou'er where he can take care of Song'er."

It is said that the Ministry of Rites is idle, but there is no real idleness.Because of the draft at the beginning of the year, the sage bestowed marriages on many clans. This year, the Ministry of Rites is busier than the other five departments.It's the twelfth lunar month and he's too busy to go home all day. When his daughter returns home tomorrow, it's because she issued a death order that he asked for leave to meet his daughter and son-in-law at home.

The Meng family is different from wives and wives of other families. The Lin family has experienced too much in these years, and now she doesn't necessarily want her husband to be a big official, she just hopes that he will be safe and sound.In addition, Lin Ruhai is in good health, and now he has to take a medicinal diet to take care of him. Seeing him so busy, Meng feels distressed.

"Mother, you'd better discuss it with your father about the younger brothers."

She didn't want her parents to have a rift because of the education of her younger brothers.The so-called authorities are obsessed, Meng Yan understands her mother's thinking, mother naturally thinks that her grandfather's family is good, and her uncle's knowledge is good; but no man likes to hear his wife say that other people's family is good, and that he is not as good as him. Others are happy.

"Don't worry about your younger brother's affairs. Mother told you, son-in-law, you have to hurry up. Do you have to be careful about those girls? Our house is simple and clean, and other people's houses may not be the same as ours. Those maids Especially if the color is good, they are all restless, and they all want to climb the bed and become the master, so you must pay attention to it. Besides, the son-in-law is not young, you have to hurry up to have a child, woman After getting married, you have to give birth to a son to stand firm."

"Mother, the Yan family's family style is strict, and the family rules stipulate that only those who have no children at [-] can take a concubine. I believe in my husband." If Yan Chengze dares to take a concubine, she will have a way to make him unable to lift him up forever, Meng Yan narrowed her eyes and thought to herself.

"The house rules are dead, can the house rules stop the maid from climbing into the bed? Besides, the son-in-law is 26 to [-], and it's not two or three years before he turns [-]. Listen to mother, you should hurry up and have a baby, don't wait until then." The Yan family used this as an excuse to force their son-in-law to take a concubine."

Although she has a good relationship with Mrs. Yan, now that Mrs. Yan has become her daughter's mother-in-law, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been a problem since ancient times. It is difficult to guarantee that Mrs. Yan will not make things difficult for her son.

"Mother, I'll remember, you just wait to hold your grandson." Meng Yan was really afraid that if Meng shi went on, she would lose any good impression she had of Yan Chengze and the Yan family.

"It's good to know."

"By the way, is Yan's house now your mother-in-law's housekeeper or your sister-in-law?"

"Whoever is the housekeeper is different, mother, why are you asking this?"

"You silly child, can it be the same? The son-in-law is the younger son, and everyone says that the younger son is favored. Your mother-in-law will naturally take care of you more. If your sister-in-law is the master, then..."

Meng Yan sighed helplessly when she heard the words, her mother was really worried too much.

"Mother, sister-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law. In the future, she should be the housekeeper of the Yan clan. Besides, even though she is the housekeeper of the sister-in-law, she didn't treat us harshly, and the three brothers have already divided the yard. Never mind, mine is the same, mother, you don't have to worry about others treating me badly."

"I'm not worried about you, you're fine."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault, mother is all for my own good."

Meng babbled on for a while, then suddenly she remembered her daughter's tactful words just now, and suddenly gave Meng Yan a stare, which made Meng Yan puzzled.

"Mother, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Meng glared at her again before saying: "Your uncle told your father about Song'er in person, and your father personally agreed. You girl, it's lucky that mother loves you so much."

It's no wonder Meng Shi glared at Meng Yan, her daughter has always been on her side, but now she's on her father's side, it's no wonder Meng Shi didn't glare at her.

"mother."

It was only then that Meng Yan understood why Mengshi was staring at her, she smiled a little embarrassedly, then hugged Mengshi's arm and acted like a baby.

"Go and go, they are all grown-ups who are already married and still like to act like a baby."

"No matter how old I am, I'm still my mother's daughter, right?"

"You!"

He poked Meng Yan's head on his shoulder, and his tone was mostly doting.

"By the way, mother, I have something to tell you. I just got the news." Meng Yan said mysteriously as she approached Meng.

"What's so mysterious?"

"Mother, I heard that the nobles in the palace will visit their relatives. At that time, those nobles' natal families will definitely build pavilions. You let Uncle De bring some strange stones and treasures from the south to Beijing. I already have a plan. When the time comes... "

"Is this all right?"

"That's right! I heard that the Jia family is going to visit his relatives, and the wealth of Jia's family can only be relieved if he can get a million and eight million taels from him." Although she was earning money, she went to the Rongguo Mansion.

"That's a good statement. Later, I will tell Uncle De to let him go south."

"It's fine to go after the next year. I think there should be a clear purpose after the next year."

"It's fine for both of us to know about it, don't tell outsiders you know?"

"Mother, don't worry."

The mother and daughter were saying that the maid outside came to report that the lunch was ready, the mother and daughter went out together and called Daiyu and Yubo to the dining hall.

The young couple stayed at Lin's house until late afternoon before returning to Yan's mansion.

After returning home, the young couple peacefully lived their own warm little days, but Yan Chengze's vacation came three or four days after returning home. Because the New Year was approaching, Yan Chengze, as Emperor Jing Xing's confidant, was naturally busier, leaving early and returning late every day.

Sometimes Yan Chengze came back late and missed dinner, Meng Yan would always prepare for him and wait for him to come back.

This day Yan Chengze still came back after dark for a long time, and when he returned to his small yard and saw that the headlights were still on, he couldn't help but feel warm.After more than 20 years alone, I finally got my sweetheart and a person who knows the cold and the hot.

When Yan Chengze opened the door and entered the room, he saw Meng Yan sitting there sewing clothes.

"The light is bad at night, so don't sew at night."

"Are you back?" Wen Sheng looked up and saw Yan Chengze approaching, Meng Yanyang smiled slightly: "It's just a few stitches away, and I don't need a few stitches either. Haven't eaten yet, are you hungry, I'll call People bring food."

Meng Yan put the clothes in his hands away and got up to go out, and came in again after a while.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed earlier, didn't I say don't wait when it's too late?"

Yan Chengze held Meng Yan's hand, feeling really sorry for his wife.

"Before evening, I heard that it was snowing heavily outside. I was worried, so I couldn't sleep and waited."

Meng Yan walked over to pick up the newly made clothes and gestured to Yan Chengze: "My mother sent some furs over, I think you can make a big cloak with this color, try it on and see if it suits you." Doesn't fit the test."

As he spoke, he put the cloak on Yan Chengze, it was just right, not too long or too short.

"Huh, here?" Yan Chengze was delighted to be wearing the cloak made by his wife, but when he pulled up the cloak, he was a little surprised to see the pattern inside.

"I specially made a double-sided one, and the front can also be worn as a front."

"It's very good-looking, just right, Yan'er's craftsmanship is good." She lowered her head and touched Meng Yan's cheek, causing Meng Yanjiao to stare at him.

"Take it off first, and try these gloves. You often ride horses, and your hands will be frostbitten in winter."

Meng Yan handed the newly made leather gloves with finger points to Yan Chengze. Yan Chengze took off the cloak and hung it on the shelf carefully before taking the gloves.

Yan'er really cared about him, she really cared about him, not only made him clothes but also made them just right, he remembered that Yan'er never measured him, how could she help him if she didn't care about him Not bad at all.

Of course, Yan Chengze didn't know that Meng Yan knew his height and size just by looking at him.

"What are these?" Meng Yan took out two furs made into tubes.

"These are knee pads, you can wear them inside or outside. The pants you wear are thin and you often ride horses. The knees are exposed and the cold wind gets in. It's easy to get rheumatism. Now I don't think it's a problem when I'm young. When I get older, the root cause of the disease will be fine. .Besides, you often have to kneel when you go to court, and the jade in the palace is bitterly cold in winter. If you kneel for an hour and a half, your knees will not be useless. From now on, you will wear them before going out, you know?"

"Okay, lady, what do you say?"

Yan Chengze looked at Meng Yan with foolish joy, a young master Pianpian suddenly became such a fool.

Yan Chengze tried on the knee pads as well, and found that they were really warm.

"These knee pads are good, and my father's legs feel a little uncomfortable in winter. You can ask the sewing room to make two sets for my father and two brothers tomorrow."

"My father-in-law, I can do it. As for the uncle and the second uncle, I can tell the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to let them do it by themselves. Oh, and the old man and the old lady are good. I will also do two sets. The old man always has minor problems with his knees, so even if he doesn't go out It’s good to bring warmth.”

"Okay, then it's hard work, lady."

"It's just a few stitches, it's hard work."

While the couple were talking, Wantang brought the little maid over to deliver the food.

The dishes and soups were all made by Meng Yan himself, according to Yan Chengze's preferences. Yan Chengze knew that Meng Yan made them, so he swept away several dishes and soups.

After eating, Meng Yan waited for him to take a bath again. After tidying up, Yan Chengze couldn't wait to hug his little wife and roll onto the bed.

The newly married Meng Yan has been busy for some days, especially in recent years, so she hasn't paid attention to the movement of the Jia family for a long time, and there is a new movement in the Jia family, but this time it is not Jia Baoyu and the second room but the eldest room. Jia She and his son.

Just after Jia She received his son's reply, Jia She was angry and then fell silent after reading the letter.Jia She was angry because his son actually persuaded him to give up the title and wrote a letter to give the title to Jia Zheng.Although Jia Amnesty was forced by Jia Mu and Jia Zheng to live in the stable, he could not live in the main room, but he still valued the title passed down to him by his ancestors; How can he not be angry.

But after being angry, Jia Amnesty read the letter and had to agree with his son that what he said was reasonable, but it was impossible for him to give up all the things in the Rongguo Mansion to Jia Zheng.Since he wants to get the title, he has to get some benefits.

He had to think of a way to do this, if Jia Amnesty's schemes failed, he might as well be better than Jia Zheng, otherwise he wouldn't be suppressed by Jia Zheng's calculations for a lifetime.

He couldn't think of any solution, but after thinking about it, he decided to write a letter to Zhou's house to ask his father-in-law and brother-in-law for advice.
