The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

hugged out. "Nurse said with a smile.

"The two children are still young, and they are probably about to fall asleep." Xu Hui gently swept the two children's backs, looking at their chubby little hands, feet, and faces, "Siblings are so good-looking, look It looks exactly the same as when Lian'er was a child."

"Mother is teasing her son again." Jia Lian looked at the two children who were gradually falling asleep, "Mother, let's eat first."

Xu Hui didn't like her children calling herself "Big Wife", which sounded cold, so when they were young, they ordered only those close to them to be called "Mother".

Jia Wan personally brought the soup in front of Jia Amnesty and Xu Hui, and said with a slight smile, "The New Year is approaching, my daughter wishes my father and mother good health and longevity. This soup of wild mushrooms and wild pigeons is made by my daughter and sister-in-law. Learned it, father and mother should try it."

"You girl has a sweet mouth. You have learned from the girl of the Lin family for a long time." Jia She took a mouthful of the hot soup from his daughter and put it into his mouth, "It tastes good. I accept your filial piety, so sit down Let's eat together."

Jia Wan smiled sweetly, and served Jia Amnesty and Xu Hui each a piece of food before sitting down next to Xu Hui.Such a happy and harmonious scene is completely different from that in Rongqing Hall just now.After the meal, Xu Hui asked the wet nurse to take the two children back to the greenhouse, and the whole family ate melon seeds, chatted and watched the new year together until the Western clock chirped crisply.

On the ninth day of February, Jia Lian went out early to the Tribute Court of the Ministry of Rites to participate in this session of Chunwei.Chun Wei divided Qiu Wei into three games, each for three days, so from the ninth day of February to the seventeenth of February, Jia Lian could only spend time in the Gongyuan, and his family members were not allowed to send things to the Gongyuan, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to make trouble. Cheating thing to come.

"I've been worried for a few days. I heard that a few more people were carried out from the tribute courtyard, but it scared me." Xu Hui took a sip of tea and said to Lu and Shen Tang.Mrs. Lu is Xu Hui's sister-in-law, and she brought Xu Zhao here to play with Jia Wan today; Mrs. Tang Tang is Shen's biological mother. Shen Bai stayed in Beijing to join the cabinet after returning to Beijing to report on his duties last year, and became the emperor's counterweight to Wu. Strong support from the prime minister's faction.

"What are you worried about? Lian'er is strong and good at studying. After today's exam, you can go home." Lu said while watching the two girls beside her embroidery, "It's a pity today, brother My sister and son are all asleep, I may not have seen them for a long time."

"It's just a coincidence that you came." Shen Tang smiled lightly.Thanks to Xu Hui's introduction these days, she and Lu Shi have become good friends.The Xu family has taken root in Beijing for a long time, but their Shen family has been stationed abroad, and they have to deal with the aristocratic families in Beijing. It is naturally better to have a friend who knows the depth of Beijing.

"Madam, brother and sister are awake."

As soon as Lu Shi said that he was unfortunately unable to see the two children, the wet nurses over there came to report.Xu Hui then asked them to bring the two children over. The twins wrapped in thick swaddling clothes were almost identical, and there was a circle of soft fur inlaid on the edge of the clothes, which made the doughy faces even more beautiful. mellow.Lu took over her sister with a smile, Shen Tang also took her grandson over, and looked at it carefully.

"Mother is going to stare at my brother out of Hua'er." Shen Shi walked in with a smile, "Just now the old lady said that there is no need to go to her for lunch today, what should the lady do for lunch?"

"It's still cold outside, let's make a hot pot of duck with mixed mushrooms today." Xu Hui thought for a while, "How about sister-in-law and mother-in-law stay and have dinner together?"

Both Lu and Shen Tang agreed, so Shen asked someone to go to the kitchen to talk, then cleaned her hands and sat next to Xu Zhao and Jia Wan, showing them how to kung fu.Xu Zhao is four years older than Jia Wan, and now he looks slim. Xu Hui thought that now that the battle has been decided, the army will soon return to the imperial court. He heard that the emperor intends to marry a man who has made military achievements.Xu Zhao is thirteen this year, which is the right age for the draft, and he doesn't know what his brother and sister-in-law are planning, so he decides to go back to Xu's house sometime to ask in person.

Jia Lian successfully passed the Qiu Wei exam, ranked No. 13 in the exam, and will have a palace exam in April.During this period of time, he hastened to study even more, and Shen was so busy taking care of him and having a couple of children that he was almost overwhelmed.Seeing this, Xu Hui proposed to raise a pair of grandchildren by herself first, so that Shen could reduce some burdens.After having children by her side, Xu Hui's life has become much more fulfilling. Seeing the children grow up day by day, Xu Hui feels that her heart is about to melt.

Xu Hui, the Xue family's house, has already invited craftsmen to help repair it, and Xue Wang's family has also sent a housekeeper to look after it, so Xu Hui is also happy to be the shopkeeper.It's just that she didn't expect that Xue Pan actually beat someone to death in Jinling during this time!This news was sent by Xue Wang's family, who wanted to ask people from Rongguo Mansion to come forward to save Xue Pan's life.

"Old lady, this is not okay." Xu Hui didn't want to take advantage of this misfortune, "Lian'er is about to take part in the palace examination, if someone finds out that our family doesn't abide by the law to protect murderers, will Lian'er's future be worth it?" , Do you want the face of our Rongguo Mansion?" It's not that she is cold-blooded, it's just that she doesn't have the obligation to cover up a murderer.

"Xue Xun looks shrewd and steady, but why did he give birth to a son who is reckless and violent!" Mother Jia naturally refused to take over this mess, "Although our family and the Xue family are family friends, we can't ignore the law like this. According to the law, let someone write back to Mrs. Xue, saying that there is nothing our family can do."

The Rongsheng people in Jia's mouth were all in the capital, and those clansmen in Jinling had to rely on the clansmen in the middle of the capital to survive, so naturally they didn't dare to take on the matter.Xue Wang had no choice but to send a large amount of money to the Zhen family, another family in Jinling, and begged Zhen Yingjia to help rescue her son.Zhen Yingjia was very moved by the tens of thousands of taels of silver bills from the two shops sent up, so she accepted the matter and quickly got Xue Pan out of the prison.

"The Zhen family has only been quiet for a few years, and now they are jumping around like this. It's really fatal." Xu Hui secretly sent someone to inquire about the news, but the feedback she got made her shake her head heavily, "Fortunately, our family and the Zhen family have long been together. We have nothing to do with each other, and we rejected Xue's family on this matter, fearing that Xue's family will also be separated from our residence in the future."

"We can't do anything about this matter. It's only right and proper to kill people. Doing so will only cause trouble for the Xue family and the Zhen family." Jia She took a sip of tea, "Prince Zhongshun seems to have been silent for the past few years, but is the emperor suspicious?" , I am very afraid of this elder brother who once coveted the throne, and even the Zhen family is also worried about by the emperor, and this matter has been heard by the emperor, and when the time comes, he will be punished for several crimes, and the Zhen family may not have a chance to stand up."

"I found it myself, and I can't blame others." Xu Hui said, "Not long ago, the empress gave birth to a prince for the emperor, and now the emperor is happy, I'm afraid no one would dare to put this matter in front of the emperor at this time The queen gave birth to another prince for the emperor, and now the only two princes in the palace are both descendants of the middle palace. Quite a lot.

"Left and right are also their family's business. Let's keep it in our hearts after hearing it." Jia She said, "In a few days, it will be time for Lian'er to participate in the palace examination. Our family has been knighted for so many years, and it is the first one to pass the exam." Those who participated in the palace examination."

"Does the master have confidence in Lian'er?" Xu Hui asked with a smile.

"Of course I have confidence." Jia She stroked his beard, "He is my son."

Jia Lian was talented and educated, but there are many students in the world, and there are also many people with good knowledge, so Jia Lian only got the fifth place in the second class.After another court examination in the Hall of Preserving Harmony, he finally entered the Ministry of Rites and became a head of the Ministry of Rites.The Ministry of Rites can also be regarded as the headquarters of the Xu family. After Xu Jing became an official, Xu Xi took over his father's official position, and now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.With his uncle watching from above, Jia Lian's career in the Ministry of Rites can be regarded as developing smoothly.

At the same time, the Xue family's house was finally repaired. In order to prevent the people in Jinling from recognizing his son, Xue Wang only said that he would bring his daughter to Beijing to prepare for the selection of a nanny for a future draft. On the road to Beijing.

No.60 The first impression of Baochai in the sixth episode

Xu Hui changed into a light gray purple long dress with dark patterns of lotus flowers. The collar of the sapphire blue jacket was decorated with a delicate leaf-shaped emerald-inlaid gold collar button.Jia Min asked someone to send her a set of giant clam and pearl heads. She picked out a pair of hairpins and put them on. She wore a coral bracelet on her wrist, and then she took Tweety and Jinmian to Rongqing Hall.

The Xue family has settled down in the capital, and after visiting the Wang family, they will come to meet and greet Jia Mu.Although the Rongguo Mansion didn't do anything about Xue Pan's beating to death, Wang Xue also understood that the Rongguo Mansion just broke up and his sister died of illness, so not many people in the Rongguo Mansion were close to her. up.The Rongguo Mansion is now the head of the Dafang family. In the past, the Dafang had no relationship with the Xue family, and it is understandable that they were unwilling to help.

Seeing Mrs. Xue walking in with her daughter, Xu Hui narrowed her eyes slightly. The girl next to her in a long dress with lake blue and golden catkins was Xue Baochai.Compared with what I saw before, the facial features are slightly longer, and it can be seen that it looks somewhat similar to Xue Wang.

Xue Wangshi's eyes flickered a few times after seeing Xu Hui. She didn't feel resentful. The old matriarch said that the Rongguo Mansion could do nothing, but who didn't know that Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, belonged to the Jia family.Although Jia Yucun was recommended by Mrs. Zhen, the reinstatement of the official has nothing to do with the Jia family.
