Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Jia Amnesty had a good idea in his heart, thinking that if he got Jia Zheng to copy the account books together, he would be able to quickly end this drudgery.Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng accompanied him to copy for less than an hour, and when he complained, his mother would say to Jia Zheng: "Second brother, if you think it's hard to go around, let the maid help you move the money." Ben, you squat and copy."

Jia Zheng was so choked that he didn't dare to complain.

Jia Amnesty was laughing on the sidelines, as if he had picked up a big bargain.

Unexpectedly, Mother Jia turned her head and said to Jia Amnesty, "Boss, you are a general, so it's not good to delay your work because of copying the accounts. You can copy the accounts while squatting, so as not to have the heart to laugh at the old man." two."

Jia Amnesty immediately lost face.

There's nothing wrong with squatting, but squatting in front of the second child... Mother still prefers the second child!

The two brothers copied together until noon, when Jia's mother said, "Go back to eat, and come back when it's not on time."

When Jia Daishan learned that his eldest son had been detained in front of Shi Shi for two consecutive days and did not leave the house, he was curious about what method Shi Shi used, and sent his elder attendants to ask the maid in Shi Shi's room, only to find out that Jia Zheng had also been detained.

The two brothers copied the accounts together in front of Shi Shi, and the boss was fined this morning, and copied while squatting on horseback.

Jia Daishan twirled his beard and pondered for a while, Shi's anger for canceling the birthday banquet must have been directed at his two sons.He thought and thought, and in the afternoon, he saw that the military department was fine, and the saint didn't summon him, so he slipped away early.His wife was angry with himself, although he tripped the boss at home, but his son was innocently angered, so he still had to find a way to coax the Shi family away, otherwise it would take a long time to copy the books of decades in the mansion.

He took people to the Hengfu Gold Store, the largest jewelry store in the capital, and picked out several sets of head and face jewelry worth 4000 taels. Went to Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Daishan went back to the mansion, he first went to Shi's main room. As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he saw the two sons writing a long case back to back.Fortunately, the eldest son is not squatting.

As soon as Jia Daishan entered the door, Shi Shi, who was tilted on the couch, naturally had to stand up, and all the maids in the room immediately saluted the Duke.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also took the opportunity to put down their pens and came over to greet their father.

Jia Daishan looked at the appearance of the two sons who were angry but did not dare to vent their anger. He felt amused but also helpless. After changing his homely clothes, he said, "It happens that the Ministry of War is fine today. I went for a stroll in the capital and bought some things."

The people who followed Jia Daishan had already brought in their things. A dozen rolls of material, seven or eight boxes of various sizes, were laid out on the long case that had just been brought over.

"Ma'am, do you think Kehe is interested? Do you like it? If it's not good, keep it as a reward. I'll go find it for my husband."

Jia Daishan said that the cloud is calm and the wind is light, but he is looking forward to these things in his heart, and some of them can catch Shi Shi's eyes.

Jia's mother knew that Jia Daishan was thinking about it, so she smiled and said: "It's rare that the Duke of the country remembers, let me see what kind of jewelry they are."

Jia Daishan immediately led Shi to the case, reached out and picked up a small box and handed it over.Inside the box was a pair of white and greasy jade bracelets, one could tell at a glance that Jia Daishan spent a lot of money.This pair of mutton fat white jade bracelets carved with plum blossoms is exquisitely carved, with a fine and moist texture without any impurities.

"Grandpa Guo chose this pair of bracelets really well. The texture and carving workmanship are hard to come by."

Mother Jia put the bracelet on her hand, turned her wrist to look at it, and praised it while watching.Man, I bought something for you, no matter why, you have to show that you have received his heart.

Jia Daishan smiled sincerely, "As long as Madam likes it."

What was handed over was a long box, inside which was a pair of five-tailed golden silk phoenix hairpins. The gold threads were layered, and the workmanship was exquisite. Ambilight.

"Beautiful, the gold thread is so tiring. I'm afraid the handwork is more expensive than the price of gold." Jia Mu still praised.

"Madam said that this handicraft is about the same weight as a hairpin."

Looking at the jewelry one by one, and then looking at the fabrics, Jia Daishan always picked expensive ones to buy, such as the dark red silk engraved with endless words, the autumn-scented satin with dark pattern chrysanthemums, the brown and concubine red fragrant cloud gauze with bamboo signs, and there is still a roll The material is exactly the same as the color pattern on Jiamu's body.

"Madam, please send someone to change this volume for your husband." Jia Daishan was a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo, there is no need to change it. I like all the colors and patterns. It's just right to make one more."

Seeing his wife happy, Jia Daishan felt that he was not wasting money.

Mother Jia ordered the maid to put away the things, and told the maid who combed her hair, "Manao, help me remember my birthday next month, and I will use this pair of golden silk phoenix inlaid treasure hairpins."

Agate agreed and put away the jewelry.

Jia's mother thanked Jia Daishan again: "Thank you, Mr. Guo."

Seeing his wife happy, Jia Daishan turned his head and asked his two sons, "What are you two writing here?"

Jia Amnesty didn't say a word, and copied it down the next day, and found that his mother asked him to copy the account book like this, and he had already found more than a dozen inappropriate places.These are inappropriate, and his mother asked him to take a piece of paper and write them down.Now he doesn't think that his mother did this just to rub Mrs. Zhang.He even thought that Mrs. Zhang should come over and do this kind of ledger copying, that is, regardless of the family director, copy the accounts of the previous year, and know the future expenses of the mansion.

Jia Amnesty remained silent, and gave Jia Zheng the opportunity to speak.

"Father," Jia Zheng was very aggrieved. Not only were his legs tired from standing, his back was sore, and his shoulders and neck were stiff.

"The son accompanied the eldest brother to copy last year's old accounts."

Jia Daishan went over to look at Jia Amnesty's copy first, and picked up a random copy, only to see small regular script with gold hooks and iron strokes, neatly written, without any negligence or alteration.Looking at the content carefully, I remember that they are all the same kind of incense candles, firewood, and charcoal.Another book is full of fish, meat, eggs and rice.After reading a few books, Jia Daishan made a calculation in his mind, read more and more carefully, and soon found something inappropriate.

"Enhou, what do you say?"

"Father, this is what the son wrote down." Jia She handed over the other inappropriate parts to his father.

After reading it, Jia Daishan asked him, "Do you feel wronged?"

"Father, my son doesn't feel wronged today." After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he turned around and bowed to Mother Jia.

"Son, thank mother for teaching." Jia She sincerely thanked him.

"You understand?"

"My son understands. Tomorrow my son will ask Mrs. Zhang to copy it too. I also ask mother to forgive my son."

"Okay, let Mrs. Zhang come with you. Sooner or later, she will take over."

Jia Daishan was taken aback for a moment, his wife has been busy these few years and has been talking about his second son Xiangxue, studying hard, the eldest son already has the rank of third-rank military officer, the title should be handed over to the second son.Although he adhered to the court law, he reprimanded Shi Shi.But the eldest son had a bright future, and the second son didn't even get a scholar. Shi Shi held on to the power of the housekeeper, and he favored the second son overtly and secretly. He didn't know it.Thinking that the eldest son has all of his mother's private house, his father's private house also gave him a lot, and Zhang's dowry is also thick, so he turned a blind eye and let Shi's subsidize the second house.

Now the wife is saying that she is going to hand over the housekeeping to the eldest daughter-in-law?

It would be great if Shi Shi was willing, otherwise she would make Zhang Shi go out of line and make herself feel embarrassed in front of the Taifu.

Jia Daishan coughed lightly and reminded Shi Shi: "Madam, there are many and complicated things in this mansion, Mrs. Zhang is still young."

"If you understand the account book first, it will be easy to take over later."

What Jia's mother said was natural, and Jia Dai's focus on listening well fell on "in the future", so he felt relieved.I'm already worried about the affairs of the court, but the mansion should be safe and sound, and it's better not to make trouble.

Jia Zheng was going to be stupid when he heard it. Is my mother giving up on herself?

"Cunzhou, you've been copying for a day, what have you gained?" Jia Daishan asked the eldest son and the second son.

Jia Zheng is not stupid either. From the conversation between his father and his elder brother, he guessed that copying accounts has other benefits, but he hasn't figured it out yet.To his father's question, he could only answer: "Father and son are just copying today."

Jia Daishan looked at the copy that Jia Zheng had copied. The handwriting was also good and neat, and it was a little less powerful than the eldest son's.never mind.It is not good to tell the eldest son that the second son needs to practice calligraphy more.

"Cunzhou, think about why your mother did this tomorrow."

Jia Daishan put down the ledger, patted his second son on the shoulder, and encouraged him.

The maid came in and asked Mother Jia if she wanted to serve dinner, and Mother Jia looked at Jia Daishan.

"Where does the Duke eat?"

"Eat here. Enhou, go and fetch Hu'er." Jia Daishan told the eldest son.

Jia Amnesty responded and left.

"Second, do you go back to your own yard to eat, or eat here?"

Jia Zheng hesitated, "Father, mother, can my son bring Zhu'er here?"

"Okay, you go." Jia Daishan waved his hand and sent Jia Zheng away.

Jia Amnesty left Jia's mother's main room and happily went back to the east courtyard to pick up her son.Seeing that Mrs. Zhang didn't want to go to eat by herself, she breathed a sigh of relief.She told her son to listen to his father and not to be naughty with his grandmother, and asked the servant girl to bring a cloak for use when the night wind was cool.

The Lin family, the original Dinghou Mansion, Lin Hai, the Xinke Tanhua Lang, is circling around his wife.

"Min'er, try this pheasant melon seed, it's very good today."

Lin Hai is courteous and gives food to Jia Min with hope.Jia Min didn't want to take her husband's heart away, so she ate slowly.

"Ruhai, eat too, or the food will be cold." Jia Min advised her husband.

"Don't worry, I ate several meals at my mother's during the day, and I won't starve him."

Jia Min caressed his lower abdomen with his left hand, a hard lump the size of his palm.Because she was already slender, and she suffered from morning sickness in the past two months. It has been four months. If she didn't say anything, no one would have thought that she was pregnant.

Lin Hai brought Jia Min another bowl of soup, "Min'er, this is the chicken wing soup stewed by my mother, you can try it again."

Reluctantly, Jia Min picked up a shark fin in the soup slowly, Lin Hai watched helplessly as Jia Min put it down again, and then took a small mouthful of the soup into his mouth.

Lin Hai silently said in his heart, don't vomit, don't vomit, don't vomit, good!Jia Min ate a bowl of golden phoenix sturgeon and dragon's fin, bamboo shoots and shark's fin in the soup.Lin Hai inspected the dishes on the table and wanted Jia Min to eat more.

Jia Min stood up and left the table.

"Ruhai, eat slowly, I'll stand by the window."
