The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

It's better to turn it over to the government. "

"If you send it to the government like this, others will say that sister-in-law is not strict with your family." Wang said sarcastic remarks on the side.

"It's a joke for the second brother and sister to say that. The two of them were jealous of Mrs. Liu so they conspired to frame her, but they ended up being killed. Do you want to keep them in the mansion?" Mrs. Wang often groaned in front of her, implying that she killed Mrs. Liu, "What does the old lady think?"

"Then send it to the government." Mother Jia pondered for a moment. If the government handles it privately, it will not be good if people are killed. "But first punish them with twenty boards as punishment."

Although they are maids in the mansion, the maids in Rongguo Mansion have always been pampered, and Luo Shi and Huo Shi have been trained. Although they can't reach the point of "ten fingers do not touch the spring water", they must have never eaten it. After suffering so much, beating them twenty big boards before sending them to the government will definitely not save their lives.

"When my daughter-in-law returned to her natal home last month, I heard that Mrs. Xie Gui in Concubine Zhen's palace had a miscarriage. Has the old lady heard the news?" result.Xu Hui looked at Mother Jia. Recently, every time she went back to pay her respects to the Queen, she just kowtowed on the bluestone slab outside the palace gate, so she also wanted to know whether Concubine Zhen Gui would be demoted.

"I just heard that the emperor is sympathetic to the nobleman, and has decided to make her a concubine after the New Year." Mother Jia has her own way to inquire, "The imperial concubine has been grounded all the time, and the king of Shunjun entered the palace to intercede for his mother. The emperor Ignore them all, I'm afraid they are also venting their anger on Concubine Zhen."

Although Xu Hui has been busy investigating Liu's death during this time, she also knows that the Zhen family has sent people to send generous gifts to every family in Beijing, hoping that they will intercede for Concubine Zhen.The person she placed in Rongqing Hall also told her, and Jia Mu also accepted a share, but looking at Jia Mu's appearance, it seemed that she had no intention of interceding for Concubine Zhen.So he said: "It is the emperor's flesh and blood that are gone, and it is normal for the emperor to be unhappy."

The Wang family on the side said: "Concubine Zhen is in the position of noble concubine, will she do something to Xie Guiren? I don't know if someone deliberately framed it. After all, Concubine Zhen has just received the grace to go home to visit her relatives. Could it be that someone is jealous? So set a trap and call Zhen Guifei."

"We can't make a conclusion on this matter, we still have to look at the results of the empress's investigation." Jia Mu said, "Be vigilant about the affairs of the palace, and don't casually talk about things in front of outsiders."

"My wife knows." Xu Hui responded with a smile.

Wang Ziteng also accepted the gift from Zhen's family, so he sent a letter to Wang, and sent Wang a box of unpolished gems, so Wang hoped that someone would intercede for Concubine Zhen.I saw her supporting the red gold pearl on the bun, and said: "I'm afraid that someone will fall into the well, and it will be miserable for Concubine Zhen."

"It's useless for us wives to say more, this happened in the palace, and we have nothing to do with it." Jia Mu glanced at Wang, "It's almost the end of the year, let's just take care of the affairs of the palace. Now, don't interfere too much with other people. Forgive your daughter-in-law, have all the crops from Zhuangzi been delivered?"

"It's already been delivered, and it's all entered into the public account." Xu Hui looked at the income and expenditure in the public account, only to realize that it is really difficult to support such a big family in Rongguo Mansion.Fortunately, Rongguo Mansion's current shop can still make some money, otherwise it would have to pay its own dowry like Wang's.

"That's good." Mother Jia turned the topic to Mrs. Wang again, "The west courtyard and the backyard have been built, and it's been a few months since you moved in. I heard from Zheng'er that Zhu'er's master will take an exam next year, and I have asked him Please resign, has anyone chosen for Zhu'er's master?"

"Tomorrow is the year of the Grand Competition, but anyone who is ambitious wants to try it out, but I can't find a suitable candidate for a while." Wang also has a headache, "Master Liu is still serious about Yuanchun, and he has no intention of participating in it again." Imperial examination. But he is Yuan Chun's master after all, so there is no reason to ask Yuan Chun to suspend his studies."

"In this case, we can only send Zhu'er to a tutor." Jia Mu pondered for a while, "It's just that there are a lot of people talking about the tutor, and all the children of the family study at the tutor, and Pearl is weak. It’s not good if you touch it.”

"The old lady is right." Thinking of her precious son's reading problem, Wang was also very worried.

Xu Hui did not express any opinion on this issue. She was not close to Jia Zhu, and she only met a few times at Jia Mu's place or at the banquet on weekdays, so she sat quietly on the side.

The author has something to say:

No.20 six times

No.20 Six times to listen to two or three things during the New Year

Xu Hui looked at her chubby son, smiled, hugged him in her arms, and kissed him hard.Seeing that Jia Lian was over one year old, although she was still staggering when she walked, but because Xu Hui restrained her from being carried in and out by the wet nurse, she did not develop a delicate temperament.Vaguely calling out "Mother", Jia Lian stuffed his fingers into his mouth and sucked them again, but his eyes looked at the lotus root flour sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

"Is Lian'er hungry?" Xu Hui lowered her head and asked.Ever since he got teeth, Xu Hui seldom let the wet nurse to feed him, instead he asked the people in the small kitchen to make some baby food for him. "Mother Li, go and bring me the apple puree, and let him fill his stomach first, so he won't be hungry."

"Yes." Vegetables and fruits in winter are rare, but they are not unavailable.Xu Hui cleaned her hands, took the specially made tableware for children, and fed them mouthful by mouthful.At the same time, Nanny Li also smiled and said, "Brother looks more and more like a wife between his eyebrows, and he is also good-looking."

"It's better for the nursing mothers to take good care of them." Xu Hui glanced at Mo Shi, Qian Shi, and Chen Shi who were standing aside, "It's the New Year now, and you all take good care of my brother. This month's monthly money will be increased by two Hang, I have ordered the people in the sewing room to cut two more sets of winter clothes for you. You have been away from home for a long time, and I will give you ten days off from the day after tomorrow, so go back and have a good reunion with your children."

"Thank you, madam!" Mo Shi and the other three couldn't help but knelt down and kowtowed.

"Let's all go down." Xu Hui said with a smile, and took a special look at Mo's.

Caught by Xu Hui's wink, Mrs. Mo took a half step deliberately, and waited until Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Qian had gone out before saying, "Madam, do you have any orders?"

"During this period, both Qian and Chen are doing well." Xu Hui was busy investigating Liu's affairs some time ago. Although Jia Lian also watched quietly, he was a little powerless, so he left Mo to ask today. "Did they tell anyone else about my brother's condition?"

"Mr. Qian and Mrs. Chen are very quiet, and have not found any contact with outsiders." Mrs. Mo replied responsibly, "The monthly money given by my wife is generous, and there are enough clothes for each season. They don't dare to associate with others casually. Afraid of losing this fat job."

"That's okay." Xu Hui asked someone to bring a cloth tiger for Jia Lian to play with, "My brother will be weaned, and he won't need a wet nurse anymore. You are useful, and I intend to keep you in the house as my brother." Personal nurse, after a while, I will transfer your family and your children to the mansion to run errands, and you should talk to your family first during this time."

"Yes." Mo's brows were beaming with joy.Although her man is a steward in Zhuangzi, it's not as good as being an official in Rongguo Mansion, plus being able to reunite with her own children, maybe her son will be able to be a book boy by his brother's side in the future , Thinking about it, I think it is a good opportunity. "What about Chen and Qian?"

"If you keep watching for me during this time, I have to carefully choose a good one." Xu Hui glanced at Mo Shi, "Be careful, don't let the news out, wait a minute and if they ask you why you came back so late, you Do you know how to answer it?"

"I'm just telling my wife about my brother's usual recipe." Mrs. Mo smiled slightly, "The servant will leave now."

"Go." Seeing Mrs. Mo go out, Xu Hui whispered to Madam Li next to her, "Mommy send someone to watch carefully."

"The old slave will take care of it."

When Jia Min walked in holding the hand stove, he happened to see Jia Lian walking unsteadily on the wool blanket, and saw his body tilted and happened to fall on Jia Min.Jia Min hurriedly handed the stove to Bai Shao who was behind her, and picked Jia Lian up in his arms and walked towards Xu Hui.Jia Lian didn't admit it, bit her finger and leaned obediently in Jia Min's arms, not feeling uncomfortable in her holding him.

"Lian'er is willing to get close to you." Xu Hui picked up a handful of pine nuts, "You just came out from the old lady?"

"Yes, I am also relieved to see that the old lady is in good health." Seeing Jia Lian reaching out to reach the pine nuts in Xu Hui's mouth, Jia Min was a little at a loss, and was afraid of falling Jia Lian, so she could only look at Xu Hui anxiously.

Xu Hui smiled softly, and asked Nanny Li to take the child away, and then Nanny Li slowly fed the crushed pine nuts to Jia Lian, and only told Jia Min not to feed more before turning to talk to Jia Min: "Hurry up and have a sip of tea." Let's warm up, it's windy and snowy outside, it's getting cold carefully." Looking at the people around Jia Min, besides Bai Shao, there is another girl with a face, "Why is there another girl, Chi Shao? "

"This is the cuckoo given to me by the old lady, and it is considerate to use." Jia Min said nonchalantly, "That girl Chishao got married last year, and now she is in Zhuangzi."

"Are you married?" Xu Hui raised her eyebrows. Chi Shao was a dowry specially arranged by the old lady. She had an outstanding appearance and was going to be used as a housekeeper for Lin Hai.According to Jia Mu's meaning, even if her daughter is pregnant in the future and has a Tongfang who was born as a dowry of her natal family, it will be easy to handle in the future.
