Aunt Zhao's happy life

Rui'er was still angry, but for some reason, she let Jia Zheng hold her hand and walked to the woodshed.

The one who looked at the firewood and charcoal was a half-deaf old man. He watched Jia Zheng roast sweet potatoes in a charcoal basin, and he also came over, and the three of them gathered around a basin of fire.

Rui'er pouted and said, "It's fair and aboveboard for you to marry Mrs. Wang, and I have no objection at all, but why do you make Ling'er Aunt Zhou again now?"

Jia Zheng sighed: "Really, I don't know what happened that day. I suspect it was set up by Shuhui. The old lady is also a little suspicious. You have to trust me."

Rui'er said: "Anyway, I won't forgive you! That's my place!"

Jia Zheng said, "You have always held a unique place in my heart!"

Ruier said: "I don't care about status, what I care about is that other people can go out with you and sleep in the same bed with you openly! I'm really sad! My heart is broken for a while!"

Jia Zheng lowered his head: "I was wrong!"

Ruier ignored him, and Jia Zheng kept repeating: "I was wrong, Ruier, I was wrong!"

Seeing that Rui'er was silent, old man Wang Chai yelled: "Second Master is hungry! Didn't you hear, he is hungry!"

Rui'er couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing Rui'er smiled, Jia Zheng quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Forgive me, I'm really hungry..."

Ruier punched him violently: "You are so hungry!"

Jia Zheng said in a low voice: "I love you, I swear I will only love you in this life! If you can't do it, in the next life you will be a first-class wife, and I will be a big turtle. When you die, I will carry the stele for you for thousands of years." !"

Ruier asked: "What about Linger?"

Jia Zheng said: "I will never touch Zhou Ling'er in my life, I promise you!"

Rui'er said: "Then you really hurt her, isn't this a widow? I don't want to be like this. Ling'er is a very simple and kind person. She has always been very kind to me and never bullied me like others Squeeze me out, and always help me out."

Jia Zheng smiled and said, "That's good. How about going to Ling'er's room every day in order to repay Ling'er's kindness to you?"

Rui'er spat: "Go! I wish you would leave me alone! Go! Go now!"

Old man Wang Chai smiled and said, "I haven't taken it out yet, how can I eat it?"

Jia Zheng said, "Look, you don't want to, so what do you call me?"

Ruier said: "Actually, I'm not ignorant, I'm just very afraid that others will take away your love for me."

Jia Zheng said softly: "No, no one can leave. I have no choice but to disappoint Ling'er. In fact, she is a very honest and simple person. She may not want to be favored by me."

Ruier nodded: "That's true."

Sure enough, what Jia Zheng said was correct, Ling'er was afraid that being caught between Mrs. Wang and Rui'er would make it difficult to be a human being, with neither status nor love, she didn't know how to deal with herself.Jia Zheng's indifference almost saved her life, preventing her from being a target or embarrassing.Her life hasn't changed much, it's just easier and she has more pocket money.

When he was at home on vacation, Jia Zheng often went to chat with his mother.

Mother Jia saw that her son was now a sixth-rank official. Although his position was not high, he was still conscientious, and she felt a little relieved.For the children of the two governments, Jia Zheng had some hope.She said to her son: "Our family relies on hereditary inheritance, and it will eventually be exhausted. When your father was alive, he was very worried that there was no one who could support the huge family business, so he gave up all hope." On you, I count on you to pass the imperial examination and revitalize our Jia family. No wonder he was strict with you at that time, you are your father's only hope!"

Jia Zhengdao: "At that time, I was too confused. I always thought that my father didn't like me, but I didn't know that he had good intentions. Now that the Holy Majesty bestows on me a sixth-rank official, I really don't know whether it is a disaster or a blessing. If I give it to my brother, it will be considered a happy event. If I give it to me, I will die alive." It has ruined my imperial examination path. I suspect that the Holy Majesty is trying to check and balance our Jia family, and does not want us to be too prosperous."

Jia's mother said: "This can't be said outside. In fact, I think the same as you in my heart, so I am worried about our big family, and my natal family is the same. No one is successful. Now it is your daughter-in-law. My brother is still a little ahead!"

Jia Zheng said: "It is said that no one can enter the Hanlin without a Jinshi, and no one can enter the cabinet without a Hanlin. If someone like me cut off the imperial examination path, he would not have a Jinshi background, and he would not be able to reach the top of the civil servants. In my life, I can see It's over!"

Jiamu's heart brightened, and she said: "I know it's not easy for you. Those who come from Jinshi are always looked up to by others. You are under the shadow of your ancestors, so others will naturally exclude you and look down on you. I will exclude you first, your official career is destined to be more difficult than others, this is not your fault, it is the emperor's strategy to restrict you."

Jia Zheng smiled helplessly: "Since my official career can be seen at a glance, now I just want to do my own things well, and I'm lucky if nothing goes wrong!"

In such embarrassment, Jia Zheng's precious son Jia Zhu brought hope to the whole family.

At a young age, Jia Zhu showed superhuman intelligence and was able to speak well. As soon as he could speak, he took the initiative to learn to read characters, recite the three-character scriptures, and recite poems.Except for the occasional illness and the need for recuperation, the rest are perfect.

Both Jia Zheng and his mother hoped that Jia Zhu would grow up quickly, stand out, take the imperial examinations well, and revitalize Jia's family.So they also gave Jia Zhu the best education and the best enlightenment early on.

With such an outstanding son, Mrs. Wang naturally has a solid backing. She is Jia Zhu's mother, and no one can but offer her up. The hopes of the Jia family are all brought by her!

Since his father left, Jia Zheng has not had a moment of relaxation.The strife in the officialdom made him exhausted, and when he returned home, his wife and concubine were not happy, so he felt discouraged when he saw it.

Rui'er became his life-saving medicine and the only light in his life.

Whenever he came back at night, or on three-day monthly leave, or other holidays, he would rely on Rui'er.Whenever he wants to go out, he has to send Ruier out the door, and he has to look back every step of the way.It seems that the child is attached to his mother, and Jia Zheng is extremely attached to Rui'er.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that Jia Zheng really didn't touch Ling'er at all, and often secretly scolded Ling'er as a waste, and often regretted her wrong move.Fortunately, she has a good son who can resist all dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction, and also makes her qualified to beat people she hates, such as Zhao Rui'er.

When Jia Zheng was not at home, Mrs. Wang thought of ways to torment Ruier, asking her to wash clothes when it was cold, make pancakes when it was hot, make pillowcases during lunch break, and sing operas when eating...

Rui'er gradually understood the weight of Jia Zheng's burden, and she was unwilling to confide in him everything, so she was often the dumb one who ate Coptis chinensis.When Jia Zheng came back, she was used to reporting good news but not worrying. She didn't want to see him have another worry.

Even if Jia Zheng likes to escape in the study, he must rest at Mrs. Wang's place on the first and fifteenth day of every month.Since Mrs. Wang is able to conceive Jia Zhu, is she afraid that she will not be able to have another one?

When Jia Zhu was three or four years old, Mrs. Wang made the icing on the cake and gave birth to another daughter. Coincidentally, this daughter was born on the first day of the new year, so Jia Zheng named her Yuanchun.

Like Jia Zhu, when Yuan Chun was born, he was round and plump with delicate features.It was snowing that day, and the New Year's people were busy walking through the streets and alleys, and the houses and yards were filled with the smell of wine and meat. Mrs. Wang suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain. Before the doctor Wang came, she had already given birth in the bedroom daughter.

Doctor Wang said with a smile: "When the young master was born, I went to see a doctor in the palace. This time when Miss Qianjin was born, I hurried over here, who knows it was still a step late. When my wife gives birth to a third one in the future, I will definitely Let's enjoy this joy!"

Jia Zheng's appearance was dignified and elegant, and although Mrs. Wang was not amazing, she was considered the best among ladies.The children they gave birth to are more beautiful than the other.Everyone said that Jia Zhu was a rare noble son, born with sword eyebrows and star eyes, but when he was born in Yuanchun, he was even better. He looked like a jade carved in powder, and looked like a porcelain doll in the icy and snowy winter.

With these two children, Mrs. Wang has hope in life, and there is no need to make compromises in Jia's house.

Aunt Zhou lived like a shadow, Jia Zheng never had the slightest influence on her, and Mrs. Wang only regarded her as a big girl with face. After a long time, she automatically surrendered to Mrs. Wang without any delusions.

Zhao Rui'er was always Jia Zheng's darling, but she couldn't do anything wrong with Mrs. Wang, and they kept each other's face.It can also be said that Mrs. Wang, who has two children by her side, no longer needs to pay attention to this little girl.

After a few years of stumbling, Jia Zheng got the imperial decree to promote him to Jiangxi Liangdao, and he was about to leave for the post after the Shangsi Festival.

This news disturbed Jia's decades of tranquility, and there was no precedent in Jia's mansion for being a magistrate.

Jia Mu was both happy and worried, restless all day long.Jia Zheng comforted him and said: "There is no one in our family who can be a Jinshi. I am promoted now, which is already a great grace. I should be grateful to Dade for working hard. In the future, my son will make great achievements, and he will not disgrace his ancestors. As for the high mountain Lu Yuan, that is also a training for me, how can a dignified man take these small things to heart!"

Jia's mother said: "Zhu'er has a sharp tongue, she is a good seedling, and Yuan Chun is also a child of good fortune. Don't worry at home, I will take good care of these two good children myself."

Jia Zheng said: "The only thing I am worried about is my mother. You must take care of your health and don't be afraid to trouble brother if you have something to do."

Jia's mother said: "The Lin family has been married to us for several years. Recently, Lin Ruhai has also come to propose marriage in person. I thought, you don't know when you will return. Why don't you take advantage of the Shangsi Festival for a while? Let's get married! The dowry has already been prepared, and when your sister gets married, you should preside over the overall situation."

Jia Zheng nodded: "Lin Ruhai is in a good mood now, and it's time to get married. By the way, mother, I will take Rui'er with me when I go to Jiangxi. You know that, right?"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "If you don't take her, who else can you take? How can your daughter-in-law and two young sons be bumpy and tired? After all, there must be a housewife at home. Naturally, she won't go to the backcountry with you, and the rest of the girls will not have you." Pleasing to the eye."

Jia Zheng smiled and said, "She went with me, as if I don't worry so much about the future."
