The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

I can't afford it.

"Now she is favored by her natal family alone, and Yubi's biological mother has been named a seventh-rank child. Although she is not as good as the old lady Zhen, she has earned her mother an imperial order." Xu Hui took a sip of the black chicken soup, "I heard that Yu Concubine's biological mother used to be a girl who delivered tea, but she was forced to accept her by the old master of the Zhen family. After the old master of the Zhen family left, Mrs. Zhen was extremely indifferent to their mother and daughter. Now that Yu Concubine is so favored, probably There is also a reason to fight for her mother."

"It's probably the same, but don't you think Zhen Yingjia made a wrong move? Even if it is to stabilize the influence of the Zhen family in the capital and the harem, I want someone to be by the emperor's side and always think of the good of the Zhen family, so I sent the concubine to the capital." But he didn't think about how much Yubi had suffered in Zhen's house before, would he really help Zhen Yingjia?" Jia She said, "A few years ago, Zhen Yingjia brought his wife to Beijing to report on his work and wanted to see Yubi, but Yubi always complained that she was not feeling well. Refused."

"It's your own fault." Xu Hui carried the child to the wet nurse and took her down to nurse. "My sister will deliver a letter in a few days. I don't know if she is doing well in Yangzhou?"

"My brother-in-law was sent to Yangzhou by the emperor as soon as he was a filial piety, and he earned a royal order for his younger sister. Mrs. Lin was posthumously named a first-class wife. It can be seen that my brother-in-law has won the holy grace, and my younger sister is naturally facing her. There is light in the sky." Many things can happen in five years, such as the concubine of the little Zhen's concubine becoming pregnant, or the old lady of the Lin family passing away due to illness.Jia She sighed, "Fortunately, Mrs. Lin was able to see the birth of her precious grandson with her own eyes before she left, so it's no longer a worry."

"Yes." Jia Min and Lin Hai finally had their first child more than three years ago, named Lin Nan.Thinking of this, Xu Hui also felt relieved for Jia Min, "There is no shortage of people around our house, so it doesn't hurt to send someone to Yangzhou to ask questions if you have time."

"It's up to you."

When Xu Hui took Jia Lian's hand and went to Rongqing Hall, she happened to see Jia Zhu come out after greeting Jia's mother. At the age of 15, he is tall and tall, wearing an ivory white fine brushwork landscape round collar robe and sheepskin boots. He looks like a gentle and elegant boy.Seeing Xu Hui approaching, he stopped at the spot and said, "Hello, Auntie."

"Pearl has come to pay respects to the old lady?" Then he said to Jia Lian, "Brother Zhu, please."

Jia Lian blinked, then saluted Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu bent down and patted Jia Lian's head, then said, "Brother Lian, you don't have to do this." Then she straightened up and said to Xu Hui, "Zhu'er has to go to school, so I'm leaving first."

"Go, take care of yourself, don't get tired." After Xu Hui finished speaking, she dragged Jia Lian into the room.

After some tedious greetings, Xu Hui sat down, smiled and said to Jia Mu: "I just met Zhu Geer outside the door, and he looks really good. I heard that he is also very good at studying, and he will definitely take part in the imperial examination in the future." It can make a difference.”

Among Jia's mother's favorite grandchildren, Jia Zhu was the one who liked her the most. He was naturally happy to hear Xu Hui say this, and kindly called Jia Lian to ask a few words, and then said to Xu Hui: "Brother Lian is very good at studying. It has been two years, you have to urge him to study hard, after all, the masters you invited are all famous Confucian scholars in the capital."

"I know." It's not that Xu Hui didn't hear the bitterness in Jia's mother's words, but the two masters who came to teach Jia Lian were both recommended by her brother. They are not willing to teach Jia Zhu, so you can't force them It must be tutored.For this matter, Jia's mother also complained to her, and Wang seized the opportunity to ridicule her from time to time.

"Isn't it? If Brother Lian fails to be admitted to the first prize in the future, I'm afraid I will let down the hard work of the two masters." Wang fiddled with the emerald bead bracelet in her hand, with a smile on her face talking.

"Studying is to cultivate your mind and learn the principles of being a human being. Maybe Lian'er will not be willing to take the imperial examination in the future. There are so many ways to deal with things. Didn't Mr. Wang Ziteng have never been the number one in the exam? Could it be that he has let down his master's promise?" Do you want to teach me?" Xu Hui didn't confront Jia's mother tit-for-tat, which doesn't mean she would retreat in front of Wang's, saying that she should cultivate her mind, eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, her mouth is still so useless, it will only make people laugh.

"Okay, Mrs. Wang, what to say, what to say, what to say, what to say, how old are you?" Jia's mother coughed twice, "Brother Zhu is 15 years old now, you and Zheng'er should too. Discuss carefully about finding a marriage for him, and don't keep putting your mind on other things."

Mrs. Wang moved her lips, but finally said "yes" with clenched teeth, but her hand was tightly grasping the champagne, revealing the blue veins on the back of her hand.

Xu Hui didn't show it on the face, but she laughed secretly in her heart.

"The old lady said today that she is going to marry Brother Zhu." Xu Hui asked someone to wring out a handkerchief to wipe off all the makeup on her face, cleaned her hands and changed into a lavender homely double-breasted robe. Only then did the nurse take the baby out.Because she was a girl, Jia's mother didn't pay much attention to it. Fortunately, the Xu family had a strong family background, and Jia's mother didn't dare to ignore this in-law. After all, she held a grand full moon banquet for her sister, but it was definitely not as good as Yuanchun's.But Xu Hui didn't bother with her, the girl in her family just cared about it.

"It's about the same age." Jia She took the homework and asked Jia Lian a question, while asking, looking for a free gap, "Can the old lady say which family is in the picture?"

"I didn't say that," Xu Hui looked at the sleeping daughter in her arms, "I only said that the second master and the second younger siblings should see each other for themselves, but I think the old lady will definitely ask the Shi family to find out."

"Although he is the elder brother of the Rongguo Mansion, he is only the second wife's son, and I am afraid that there are not many people of the right age." Jia Shen's mind quickly flashed to the people in the court who had daughters of the right age, "I remember the Guozijian offering wine. Mrs. Li Shouzhong has a girl who is [-] years old this year, which is suitable. There are also a few girls from other families, but they are either from officials with a third rank or above, or small officials below the sixth rank. I am afraid that they are not worthy. .”

"Some time ago, I heard the second sibling say that she got married to the Xue family sister and got a sister, and her brother finally got a girl, and said that her niece is so smart and now she is studying housekeeping. I'm afraid I don't have the time to talk about these things now. It's too late." Xu Hui said, "Today she stabbed me with words in front of me again, but I rebuffed her." There was a little complacency in her words.

"Her mouth has always been sharp, but your mouth is even stronger." Jia Amnesty remembered what the concierge sent today, "Today someone sent you a brocade box, go and have a look, my name is Cui Er Gang You take it." After Huang Ying got married, Jinmian and Cui'er were the big girls around Xu Hui now, and Nanny Li was getting older, and Pianran didn't want to get married, so she decided to stay in Xu Hui without marrying. Be an aunt by Hui's side.

"Looks like it's a letter from my sister." In addition to going through Jia's mother's route, Jia Min also communicates with her in private, probably because of the relationship between sending recipes before. Time has become more intimate, and when Lin Nan was born, Xu Hui also visited a lot, so the relationship between the two became closer.After handing the child over to the nurse beside her, she opened the box. Besides a letter, there was also a set of exquisite longevity locks and silver bracelets and silver anklets inside. "This is a full moon gift from my sister to our sister."

"After all, it was my younger sister who was in love with you. My brother-in-law is getting promoted every step of the way. This is the position I have here. In the future, I have to rely on my brother-in-law to support Lianer." Jia She thought for a long time, "Although we know many aristocratic families, but the traditional Up to now, it is not as good as one generation after another, besides the Yue family, it is necessary to find a reliable elder to help Lian'er."

"That's true." Whether in ancient times or modern times, people pay attention to connections, and Xu Hui understands that in this era, no matter whether it is studying, being an official, or talking about relatives, it is absolutely impossible to have no connections. "Brother Zuo Nan's birthday is almost here. Don't we have a white jade brush from the previous dynasty in Curry? It would be good to send it to Brother Nan."

"Alright," Jia Amnesty said to Jia Lian after asking Jia Lian about his homework, "It's almost time for class, go to the study and wait for the masters to come."

"Yes." Jia Lian put away her homework, bowed to her parents, then reached out to touch her sister's face, and then led the servant to the study.

No.30 once

No.30 Once Wang was pregnant with Baoyulai

Xu Hui looked at the Zhuangzi's harvest ledger that was delivered this month, adjusted the expenses of the mansion one by one, and then told Pianran to put away the ledger, and said to Cui'er, "Go and see what fresh melons are in the kitchen. Fruit, cut it up and sent it to brother and the master in the house."

"Yes." Cui'er took the key and locked all the ledgers and put them away, then said: "Just now when I went to the kitchen to collect this month's expenses, I heard that the second wife has been very busy recently, and she is showing Zhuge'er a suitable place in the capital. Miss. She also said that if there is no one in the capital, please ask the Zhen family to take a look in the south."

"The Zhen family?" Xu Hui raised her eyes in surprise, "Does the old lady know about this?"

"This servant has never heard of it." Tweety said, "But I heard that the old lady has invited two wives from the Shi family to the house, so I'm afraid she also wants to discuss it with the two wives."

Although there are two girls in Wang's family, they are still very young. I'm afraid they can't marry Jia Zhu, let alone ask Jia Zhu to wait for them to grow up; Calling Mrs. Yu to discuss with Mrs. Wu, I'm afraid it is to increase the relationship between the two families and add fire to the power in his mansion.Xu Hui knew that the old lady had delegated power to them on the surface, but in fact she would not give up her desire for power so easily. Although it was Jia Zhu's marriage,
