Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

"Son, I don't dare to think so, but..." Jia Zheng hurriedly got up and knelt down. This has risen to the question of filial piety and unfilial piety. Would he dare not kneel?Now he finally knew why his wife didn't say anything. If she dared to say this, she was waiting for a divorce letter.

"But what?" Daishan's anger remained undiminished, did he pick things up as soon as he came back?Daishan didn't blame his son, he blamed his wife. At this time, he had already decided that it must be the daughter-in-law who blew pillow talk with his son behind his back, so his son came to make trouble with him.

"Although the son's family is small in size, my son and Mr. Lu usually eat lunch in the study, while Zhu'er and Hu'er eat at Mr. Lu's house. Yuan'er is still young and can't eat a few bites. Last night, the servings were set out. The table is really extravagant. My son has studied the books of sages and sages, and he knows that a tea and a meal are hard to come by. His son asked Wang to reduce his share, but Wang has nothing to do. This is the rule in the house. Where? My son also doesn’t want Zhu’er to grow up in a wealthy family, ignorant of the sufferings of the world, and helpless. Dare to ask the old lady to make the decision and allow my son to set up a small kitchen in the west courtyard. We follow the rules of the house, but can we handle the food by ourselves? ?” Jia Zheng said with a bitter face, cupping his hands.

"How does your family eat?" Dai Shan was taken aback. Did his son feel that the family was too extravagant?But the son has only been separated for more than a year. He didn't think it was extravagant in the past [-] years, but now that he is back, he feels extravagant. Why does his wife abuse him?

"When my son is at home, he always eats four dishes and one soup, just simple." Jia Zheng spoke with confidence, and his sense of pride rose spontaneously. How frugal he is!How I conform to the words of the sages!

"Four dishes and one soup? Eat it for the whole family?" Daishan was also born in a wealthy nest, and he had never eaten four dishes and one soup. He felt uncomfortable listening to it.Look at dick like a monster.Eat four dishes and one soup, and eat together as a family, are you really my son?You also deserve to be called the second son of the Duke's Mansion?

"Yes!" Jia Zheng was very proud of himself, he was able to endure hardships.

"It's not such a small thing." Dai Shan was angry.My son went out for a year, how did he become like this?Turning to Lu Buqun, "Your family also has four dishes and one soup?"

"There is a delicious child in my villain's house. It's not as good as four dishes and one soup, but it's more frugal than the family's food." Lu Buqun smiled dryly.

He had eaten Jia Zheng's four dishes and one soup, and the four dishes and one soup were basically different from his own family's diet.In fact, he already understood that Jia Zheng was not afraid of extravagance.People feel that the food in the mansion is not to their taste, and they can't question the taste of their parents, so they can only find excuses.However, at this moment, he really couldn't stand on the opposite side of Jia Zheng, so he could only speak vaguely.

"Look. Mr. Lu's house doesn't have four dishes and one soup, your wife..." Dai Shan quickly got angry at Jia Zheng.In his opinion, Lu Buqun is a commoner, and he doesn’t have four dishes and one soup. You are from a noble family. If you are ashamed to say that you eat four dishes and one soup at home, if you say it, you will be laughed to death. Dare you say it, he is too embarrassed to listen. Woolen cloth!spread out.No shame.

"The son and his wife are just here to serve their parents and take care of common affairs. In the future, Zhu Er will be the eldest son of the second wife, and she will bear the burden of the second wife. The son dare not teach him badly. In the future, the son will not pass on such a large family business to him. " Jia Zheng was also annoyed.Straight up.This is not what Ai Ruo said, but Jia Zheng was forced to blurt out at this time.

Dai Shan froze for a moment, and his face darkened.Jia Zheng's words hit his heart.He separated the family, and he asked the eldest son to change his family. In fact, he knew that the two sons were honest people, and they were not capable of making money.

Now the rules in the mansion are passed down from the elders, and I can continue my ostentation today, but can my sons and grandchildren continue?The second child's family is very clear-headed, they split out, they don't have much money in their hands, they have to be frugal, they can't let their children think that this is the family of the state, they can continue to be so extravagant.Therefore, as parents, let the children know that the family is difficult and cannot be born in peace.It's not necessarily a bad thing to be a little bit bitter since childhood, but it's not necessarily a bad thing when you grow up.

"What do you want?" The old man suppressed his breath and looked at his son with his lips pursed.

"My son just said that the order will be sent to the small kitchen in the west courtyard, and the people in the son's house will manage it by himself. It will neither embarrass the eldest brother and sister-in-law, nor make the children take wealth for granted." Jia Zheng thought about it, Still can't say the word "yinzi", so I changed the concept, you send the vegetables you want to eat to us, raw ones to our small kitchen, as for how to do it, we can figure it out, anyway, it's all inside.

Thinking about it, Dai Shan felt that he had a very headache. He was a big man, and he spent his whole life reaching out for clothes and opening his mouth for meals. He never thought that when he was about to come, he had to take care of these trivial matters in the inner house, how could he not have a headache.

"You are a big man, don't care about this, where have you read?" Zai said angrily.

"The sage also said, if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world? If a son can't manage his family well, how can he dare to plead for the people? How can he set an example and raise his children? A son would never dare to let his children be destroyed by a woman's hands." Jia Zheng spoke righteously.

Of course, after finishing speaking, Daishan poured a bowl of tea on him, took a feather duster and whipped him a few times, Jia Zheng could only stand next to him, who made him say the old man's mind again, thinking that children are destroyed by women's hands If he didn't wake up quickly, his son and daughter would be finished.Now when my son says it, I will be surprised if I don't get annoyed, of course I will beat him.

Of course, Jia Zheng's beatings were not in vain. The old man announced at night that small kitchens would be set up everywhere, and the quota would not be reduced.However, except for Jia Zheng's family, no one thought about saving money.

Jia Amnesty didn't care, he didn't care about the family and what to eat, so he didn't have any idea whether he could divide it or not; Mrs. Zhang laughed it off after hearing the report.It was a waste to send it over, but now it’s cheaper to distribute it everywhere; Jia’s mother was stunned, but she didn’t object. Now that we have our own system, we can have some rights.

So the old man's new policy was approved by all parties, which made the old man angry, and no one wanted to eat it together except himself.It made the old man feel a little disheartened.Even though the whole family does not eat together, they eat the same dishes. It feels like everyone is still together and has the dignity of a family.Such a separation, in fact, is to do their own thing, and he felt very disappointed.

With the words of the old man, Ai Ruo will not really share the regular dishes, but directly exchange them for silver and distribute them to each room. Buy what you like, and everyone will be cheaper.Mother Jia was even happier. After sharing the money, she could set up her own purchases and her own system. She finally had the resources to challenge her daughter-in-law, so everyone was happy.No one tried to understand the old man's state of mind at this time.

Jia Zheng also finally returned to the comfortable days before and expressed his satisfaction.Of course, one day, the old man had a whim, and when he went to Jia Zheng's study to eat four dishes and one soup with them, he instantly became angry.This is thrifty?There are fewer dish bowls, but every dish, which one is not refined and cooked carefully?These four dishes and one soup will definitely not be cheaper than his own eight bowls, right?

Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, the old lady. Naturally, the second wife doesn't dare to Jane Man. Mr. Lu. Besides, my son's family only has four dishes and one soup at night. No matter how delicate it is, it is cheaper than the son and his wife plus two children. Twenty bowls Much more."

"Twenty bowls?" Dai Shan didn't think about it first, Mr. Lu was also a guest after all, so it was only natural that the food should be more delicate.What he was thinking was, for the second child's family, would they need twenty bowls for a dinner?Is it that scary?He has always eaten by himself, and at family banquets, everyone eats together. It's the prepared noodles, not counting the portion. He really doesn't know how much the family's portion is.

"Exactly. My son and his wife each have six bowls. Although Zhu'er and Yuan'er are small, they are also young masters. They have four bowls each. If you put one piece, it means twenty bowls. If you can't eat it, it will be ruined. The son turned around and told the two Madam calculates the account books at home, and shows the old man a luxury." Jia Zheng was heartbroken, and Ai Ruo settled the accounts for him, and brought back the four of them. Half, this made Jia Zheng feel sorry for Jia Amnesty, what kind of thing is this!I really think he is being taken advantage of!

Daishan knew without looking at the account books that he had eight bowls, of course the portion of each bowl would not be too much, but it would definitely not be finished with one chopstick, otherwise it would not be pleasing to the eye.But think about how much you have left on weekdays.Sometimes, when I feel bad and can't eat, I usually withdraw completely.I can't even eat it myself, let alone Jia Zhu and Jia Yuan.Think about it, a family of four, facing twenty bowls, it's no wonder they don't feel bad, even if they don't spend their own money, they still have to feel bad.

But who is Dai Shan? Immediately, he thought that when he was young, he seldom had dinner with Shi Shi.Even if it is a piece, it will be notified in advance, and Shi will specially cook a few dishes that suit him, and put them on the table. There will not be many dishes, only six bowls, but think about it, they put the dishes together first , not in one breath, put twelve bowls to them.Therefore, it was Wang's tricks to set up twenty bowls at once to trick Jia Zheng, a bastard, and make him lose his temper with him, so as to achieve the purpose of dividing the kitchen.Otherwise, she is the housekeeper. She asked the kitchen to cook only four dishes and one soup. Would the kitchen dare not listen?

He also didn't save face for Jia Zheng, and said coldly, Jia Zheng was quite calm, the main reason was that the trust between him and Ai Ruo was there, and it really wasn't Daishan's instigation that could succeed.Busily said.

"Look at what the old man said, the second wife is only housekeeping for the sister-in-law. These are the old rules in the house. The sister-in-law didn't dare to change it, and the second wife didn't dare to change it. If we have one room, let someone cook four dishes and one Soup, where is the old lady, sister-in-law?" Jia Zheng said hastily.

This is what Ai Ruo emphasized, she doesn't want to change the old rules of Rong Mansion, because changing them would be treason.By eating this way herself, she is stepping on her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to achieve her reputation of frugality.So she must not change, and dare not change.Even now, they didn't say to change the rules, they just divided the kitchens, and each room eats according to its own preferences, whether it likes four dishes and one soup, or eight dishes and one soup, it's all their own, and it has nothing to do with the house, and it has nothing to do with the rules !
