The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

Thinking that Jia Min married her without saying a word. "Forget it, it's already age, I remember it seems to be three years older than Bai Shao, right?"

"Isn't it? After all, it's the girl next to me, so I can't tell her to waste her years in vain." Jia Min smiled slightly, "The old lady said that the candidate was chosen, so I don't worry."

It seems that Mrs. Lin meant it.Xu Hui nodded: "Looking at your ruddy complexion, how have you been doing during this time?"

"After listening to my sister-in-law, I often relax in the yard for a while, and my health has indeed improved a lot. When the doctor asked for my pulse, he also said that my foundation is much better, and I don't need to drink any troublesome medicine on weekdays." Jia Min laughed. "Sure enough, it's comfortable to go out and walk around. It's just that it's snowing recently, so I don't dare to take a walk outside. I just move my body inside the house."

"Just keep exercising." Just as Xu Hui finished speaking, Jia Lian also finished eating the pine nuts, and staggered into her arms, calling "Mother" sweetly.

"Yo, Brother Lian can talk!" Jia Min smiled and looked at Jia Lian who looked like dough, "Call my aunt to listen."

"It's just a few tones." Xu Hui said with a smile, "My uncle has been promoted to the Imperial Academy, and I haven't congratulated you yet."

"My sister-in-law has already sent gifts, and my husband and I want to say thank you to you." Jia Min thought that after Lin Hai was promoted, his mother didn't show any signs of it, but his sister-in-law couldn't see it and gave the gift. Sighing, "Just now I went to my mother to talk about it, and my mother said that this official position is low. But Xianggong has only been an official in the court for two years, and his promotion speed is faster than ordinary people. I don't know where my mother is. Dissatisfied with coming..."

"The old lady Xu also wants my uncle to be promoted as soon as possible, so that I can earn you a big order." Xu Hui could only comfort her in this way.

"Probably." Jia Min also felt that it was difficult to talk about this topic, so he had to find someone else to chat with, "Have you heard, Concubine Zhen in the palace has been demoted?"

"A few days ago when the female relatives came and went, I listened to it." Xu Hui saw that Jia Lian was a little sleepy, so she asked someone to hug him to sleep, and took another sip of tea before saying, "Probably because of Concubine Lin's miscarriage." Lin The concubine is the former Xie Guiren, and now she has been conferred the position of concubine in Luan and the palace master's hall.On the contrary, although the imperial concubine Zhen had no intention of murdering Concubine Lin, she was also convicted of improper care, fined her salary for half a year, took back the imperial concubine's gold book and seal, and was demoted to concubine.

"It can be seen that the thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the emperor." Jia Min said, "But the emperor did not take away the opportunity of the southern tour of the imperial concubine Zhen."

"We can't tell right from wrong, and forget it if we've heard about it." Xu Hui asked someone to bring some freshly made dim sum, "Taste the newly made dim sum from the small kitchen, it's all your favorite."

"My sister-in-law treats me well, she still remembers what I like to eat." Jia Min smiled sweetly, not politely.

On the second day of February, the emperor set out to make a tour of the south. All matters in the court, if not urgent, were first reviewed by the minister of military affairs, and then sent to the imperial court.Because most of the princes and ministers in the capital went on tour together, and the three county kings and several princes who had not yet been knighted all left the capital together, Jia Amnesty was also happy to have a leisure time, nestling in the mansion every day, reading books, listening to operas, etc. , but also had a good time.

After Aunt Luo and Mrs. Huo sent them to the government, Xu Hui never heard of their whereabouts again. Jia Mu wanted to send the two girls to Rongxi Hall, but Jia She refused, saying that there were enough people to serve.Jia Mu thought that the girl she had trained had just caused such a big incident, so she didn't dare to force it, so she had to give up.

"Father-in-law and brother-in-law are out on patrol, so go and see your mother-in-law when you have time." Jia Amnesty teased Jia Lian with a rattle, not at all like a strict father, and said this while playing with his son.

"Understood, I'll take Lian'er to visit my mother after two days when it gets warmer." Xu Hui said, "You're used to living your life these days. Walk around and meet other people."

"Everyone who is famous in Beijing has accompanied him on a tour. Except for us who have received titles, the rest are people who like to drink and have fun. What's the point of dating them?" Jia Shen followed Xu Jing during this time. Also, Xu Xi has learned a lot from his side. Compared to going out to drink and have fun with the children of the other family, it is better to stay at home and spend more time with his wife and son.

Knowing that Jia She has been with her father and brother recently, Xu Hui couldn't help feeling the importance of being a good role model. With Xu Jing's supervision and Xu Xi's template, Jia She's temperament can always be restored, and she said : "That's right. I heard that Wang Ziteng is also on tour. The second sibling has been talking to the old lady for a long time."

"No one else in the four major families has this kind of grace except him, and it is conceivable that the second room is proud." Jia She snorted and laughed, "But no matter how good Wang Ziteng is, he is also a member of the Wang family. What's wrong with the second sibling, old man I'm afraid my wife will bother her like this."

"Isn't it?" Thinking of the scene of Wang's showing off in front of Jia's mother but being choked back by Jia's mother, Xu Hui also laughed, "No matter how good the Wang family is, there are a few bad people who will have a bad reputation. Wang Ziteng The official is getting bigger and bigger, and he is afraid that his mediocre younger brother will take advantage of his status to bully the market." It was Wang Zisheng who was talking about it.

"It's hard to say, but since they have separated and Wang Zisheng is in Jinling, it probably doesn't matter." Jia She picked up Jia Lian, "Let's not eat at the mansion today, a new restaurant opened in the east of the city. I'll take you to have a taste."

"Okay." Calling someone to say something to Jia's mother, Xu Hui changed her clothes, put on the bamboo hat and went out with Jia She.

The author has something to say:

No.20 Seven times in Beijing, I occasionally heard about promotions

When Xu Hui came to Xu's mansion with Jia Lian in her arms, Mrs. Meng had just finished reading the letter Xu Jing sent back from the south.After paying respects to Mrs. Meng, Xu Hui asked, "Why don't you see my sister-in-law today?" Mrs. Lu should have come to pay Mrs. Meng a long time ago at this time.

"Your sister-in-law was diagnosed with pregnancy yesterday, and it's still early in the month. I told her to rest in the house, and don't come here to set rules for the time being." Meng said with a smile.Lu Shi gave birth to Xu Xi's sister in the past, but her sister died when she was three years old, and she has nothing to do until now. There has been no good news.

"Oh, that's really a happy event!" Xu Hui said with a smile, "My brother will definitely be very happy when he finds out. Mother is also the same, why didn't you send me the news yesterday, so I can bring a gift for you Congratulations, sister-in-law."

"Yesterday, everyone in the mansion was so happy that I forgot about it." Mrs. Meng helped the five-petaled plum blossom on her head and said, "Yesterday, I was busy asking the doctor to prescribe an anti-fetal medicine again. I was too busy writing letters to your father and brother, and your sister-in-law's family didn't even have time to notify you. I originally wanted to send a letter together today, but I didn't expect you to come here with Lian'er in your arms."

"The emperor went on a tour to the south, and my father and elder brother accompanied me. I thought that the house was fine, so I came to visit my mother." Xu Hui asked Pianran to hand over a brocade box, "I went to the newly opened one in the east of the city with my master yesterday. While eating in a restaurant, when I passed by the jewelry shop, I saw a set of emerald pendants with five bats holding peaches carved by the master craftsman. Although it was not expensive, I thought it would be best to put it here for my mother, so I thought about sending it to my mother. "

"If you send things home again, you won't be afraid that the old lady of Jia's family will say that you are all moving things to your mother's house." Mrs. Meng glanced at Xu Hui and said jokingly.

"This is something I bought with my private money, and I also paid for the shop. What does it have to do with the Jia family?" Xu Hui made a face, "Come on, Lian'er, say hello to your grandmother."

As early as when Xu Hui and Jia Lian came in, Mengshi had someone prepare sweet and soft sweet-scented osmanthus sugar steamed new chestnut powder cake and milk water chestnut powder cake. When Xu Hui and Mengshi were chatting, Mengshi here The big maids, Wutong and Jinmian, were feeding Jia Lian.Hearing Xu Hui's call, Jia Lian raised her head blankly, her eyes were round and watery, with half a piece of pastry in her mouth, her face was round and round, very cute.

"Let him eat, but he can talk?" Meng looked at Jia Lian lovingly, and asked again.

"He can only speak a few words, and Li Nanny and Mo Shi have taught him now."

After eating snacks and having someone twist the handkerchief to clean his hands, Xu Hui put his arms around Jia Lian and coaxed him to call "grandmother" vaguely, but Meng was very happy.

After visiting her sister-in-law at Lu's house, Xu Hui took Jia Lian back to the house.

"Hey, sister-in-law is back?" Wang looked smug, looking at Xu Hui and Jia Lian who came to greet Jia's mother.

What's going on again?Xu Hui glanced at Mrs. Wang, first greeted Jia's mother respectfully, and then said, "Second brother and sister are in good spirits today, but what happy event happened?"

"Today, a letter was sent from the south, saying that my elder brother has won the favor of the emperor, and he has been appointed as the third-rank minister of the imperial servant temple. He will officially take office after returning to Beijing." Mrs. Wang smiled proudly, "I heard that among the many adults who followed the tour , and only my elder brother got the promotion, which shows that he is blessed with grace."

Jia's mother remained calm and let Wang's show off.Xu Hui also acted as if she hadn't heard, and drank tea with her teacup in her hands.

"By the way, I heard that sister-in-law sent a set of emerald ornaments to her mother's house today, which cost a lot." Seeing that Jia's mother and Xu Hui ignored her, Wang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, as if As if thinking of something suddenly, he said with a smile, "Since my sister-in-law is a housekeeper, it has cost a lot."

"My brother and sister are concerned. I ordered that set of ornaments with my own money, so my brothers and sisters can rest assured." Xu Hui gave Wang a sideways look, "I still know the distinction between public and private."

"
