Kuai Chuan's brother is the real boss

"Hurry up, go and report to the master and wife, the young lady has returned."

"Miss and uncle have returned home, go and report to the master and wife."

In a luxurious mansion, maids and servants rushed to tell each other, and after a while, a small sedan chair was carried to the inner courtyard. Sitting in the sedan chair was Jia Min, a young lady from the Duke's Mansion who just got married three days ago, and returned home today.

While washing up, Jiang Yan listened to the boy's report, "You go down first, I'll go see Min'er at my mother's place later."

The servant bowed and retreated. Jiang Yan stood in front of the mirror, pulled up all his hair, put on a hosta, and wore a black robe. back.

He came to a new world again, where his name is Jia Yan, the youngest son of Rong Guogong Jia Daishan, and the person he wants to protect now is his sister Jia Min.

Jia Min is the prostitute and the youngest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She has lived a life of luxury since she was born. She married Lin Ruhai, a man of love.

Lin Ruhai's ancestors also had Marquis, but Lin Ruhai's generation of Marquis has come to an end, but he himself is very good, so he was admitted to Tanhualang.

But just after becoming Tanhualang, his parents passed away one after another, and it took three years of Shouxiao to get married for two decades.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Ruhai's scholarly family has a bright future, and Jia Min is the Duke's prostitute. The marriage of the two is simply a match made in heaven.

At the beginning, the two did think so, but gradually the two began to worry about the lack of children. After 15 years of marriage, Jia Min gave birth to a daughter, and she was weak and sick. She had to take medicine since she could eat. Since then, Min's health has also plummeted.

Two years later, Jia Min risked giving birth to a baby boy again. Since then, Jia Min's health has gotten worse, and he has been sick. Until the baby boy died of illness when he was three years old, Jia Min's health also deteriorated every day. It's been a day.

When Jia Min passed away, she was just in her early 40s. Her tragedy came from the bondage of family inheritance in ancient feudal society.

In fact, in Jiang Yan's view, it is not necessarily Jia Min who has health problems, but Lin Ruhai is very likely, because his concubines have nothing to do, and the collateral descendants of the Lin family are not prosperous.

But in this era, men are superior to women, and everyone thinks that the inability to have children must be a woman's problem. The pressure, coupled with the delivery of older women, finally killed Jia Min.

Not long after Jia Min's death, her daughter was sent to Jia's family. Although her husband was promoted, he died of illness not long after, leaving only an orphan girl in the world. He said that he was living a life of being dependent on others, and finally passed away.

The timeline of Jiang Yan's coming to this world was relatively early, which gave him enough time to prepare. He is now a member of the Jia family, and besides Jia Min, he also has to worry about the Jia family that is about to decline.

In my memory, shortly after the death of Jia Min's daughter Lin Daiyu, the Jia family was ransacked, everyone was imprisoned, and the last one died as a slave, and the woman became an official or a prostitute.

The decline of a big family starts from the inside. Now looking at the majestic and glorious Rongguo Mansion, it has been completely destroyed in just 30 years.

Now that Jiang Yan has become part of the Jia family, he still has to work hard to resist one or two, so he joined the army three years ago when he was just over 16 years old. Too sink. Sink.

Because of his father Jia Daishan's serious illness, Jia Min's marriage was arranged in a hurry, so after Jiang Yan received the news, he couldn't come back from the army in time to attend the wedding. Lin Ruhai went back to Suzhou together.

After washing and dressing, Jiang Yan came to the courtyard of Jia Daishan and Jia Mushi, and could hear crying inside before entering the house.

"Master and wife, the third master is here." The servant girl reported seeing Jiang Yan coming.

Jiang Yan entered the room and bowed to Jia Daishan and Jiamu, "Father and mother are well."

"You're here, talk to your sister quickly, don't make her cry anymore." Mother Jia said, wiping the tears off her face.

My daughter has been pampered by her since she was a child, and she will go south tomorrow, how can she rest assured, and she will cry again when she thinks of her sadness.

Jia Min, who was tall and graceful, with almond eyes and peach cheeks, and curved brows, looked very sad when he frowned, looked up at Jiang Yan, and his eyes were red again.

"Brother, I don't want to go." Facing her most trusted brother since childhood, Jia Min said sincerely, she didn't want to leave her parents and home.

"Come with me, I have prepared some gifts for you."

Jia Min followed Jiang Yan to his yard, and was blown by the wind all the way, tears had gone back.

Jiang Yan took out the gifts he had prepared for Jia Min, a peace talisman and an exquisite sachet made of sterling silver, "I asked for these from the temple near the military camp, and they are my best wishes to you."

"Brother, are you really willing to part with me?" She was very reluctant to part with her family. She had always been with her family since she was a child. As long as she thought that they would not see each other all year round, she would feel extremely sad.

"Of course my brother is reluctant to part with Min'er, and I will definitely go to Suzhou to see you more in the future, okay?"

Jia Min has passed this year. Although she is the youngest girl in the family, she still knows what she should know. She knows that she is married. No matter how much she hates her family, she has to separate from her family and run her own small family.

"Brother, don't worry, please rest assured parents, I will definitely be a good wife, help my husband manage the Lin family well, and be a good housewife."

Speaking of Jia Min, she couldn't help crying. Before getting married, her mother had told her these words many times. At that time, she was full of reluctance and didn't listen to them. Now she savored them carefully. These words are simple, How difficult it is to sit up.

Jiang Yan took a jade hairpin from a box on the side and put it on Jia Min's head. In addition to this one, there was another one in the box, "I carved this by myself when I was free in the army. Jade nourishes people. You can wear it every now and then." All diseases are gone."

"I know brother, I will wear it every day."

The jade hairpin is a double lotus, with the same heart and the same root, which symbolizes a hundred years of harmony and eternal unity. This is also Jiang Yan's greatest expectation for Jia Min and Lin Ruhai. This method can make the wearer exorcise evil spirits and keep healthy.

In the final analysis, the biggest cause of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai's tragedy was their health problems. As long as their health problems were resolved, other problems would not be a problem.

Jia Min and Lin Ruhai stayed at Jia's house until evening before leaving, and set off for Suzhou early the next morning.

Jia Daishan and Jia's mother had four daughters, and they are all married now. Jia She and Jia Zheng are also married. Now Jiang Yan is the only one in Jia's family who is not married.

And the reason why Jia Min got married so quickly was because Jia Daishan felt that his health was getting worse and he wanted to make arrangements for his children. Jiang Yan had been in the military camp before, and now he came back and wanted to give things to him. done.

Jiang Yan naturally didn't want to get married, but he also knew that in a big family like the Jia family in this day and age, it was impossible not to get married, not to mention that Jia Daishan was exhausted now, and he refuted him solemnly, letting him die immediately. It's bad.

So I don't care about this matter anymore, and it's up to my parents to decide.

In addition to the marriage between the children, Jia Daishan also tried his best to make the best arrangements for the three sons around him. The eldest son, Jia She, succeeded him as the Duke of the state. The second son, Jia Zheng, originally wanted to take the imperial examination, but because of Jia Daishan went to ask for favor in front of the sage before, and got an official of the household department member Wailang.

As for Jiang Yan, he greeted the people he knew in the army and took good care of him. He had already gone to the Holy Master to intercede for his second son, so it was not easy to ask for another position for Jiang Yan.

Perhaps because he felt that he owed Jiang Yan, he chose a thousand choices in marriage, and finally chose a daughter from a scholarly family, her maiden name was Fu Ling. No one in the Fu family was an official, but Fu Ling's grandfather was a well-known Confucian.

Originally, he didn't want his granddaughter to marry into a powerful family, but because he met Jia Daishan with similar interests before, and they have been in contact with each other for many years, and this time, Jia Daishan sincerely proposed to marry him, so he agreed to the Jia family's marriage proposal.

Whether it's the marriage of the children or the future arrangements for the children, it can be seen that Jia Daishan wants to do things the best so that future generations can continue to receive the blessings of their ancestors.

Perhaps Jia Daishan can now imagine the future decline of the Jia family, so he has done so much, but he certainly did not expect that the Jia family would decline so quickly after his death, and no one among his grandchildren would be able to sustain it. Get up this home.

Jiang Yan has no objection to getting married with the Fu family, and he is very glad that he did not get married with the other three families that he has good friends with. The Jia family has already made him too busy to take care of himself. At this time, if another family becomes the Yue family, he may not be able to save it even if he tries his best. .

The big families that have started to decline from the mainland seem to be all idiots who can't afford it. In this case, there is nothing the Great Luo God can do.

Jia Daishan passed away shortly after Jiang Yan's marriage was finalized, and the Duke of the country passed away, so it was a big deal.

After a funeral, Jia's mother was also ill, and Ling Mian was sick for a long time before she recovered. Jiang Yan set off for the military camp after her illness was cured. His father passed away and kept his filial piety for three years, and the marriage with Fu's family had to wait for another three years. OK.

Jiang Yan has his own plans for the future, and marrying a wife does not affect his original plans. Now he continues to return to the military camp and do what he should have done before.

It's just that Jiang Yan is a little worried about Jia Min's emotions now. She was very reluctant to leave home, and her father passed away just over a month ago, which must have made her feel even more unbearable.

I hope she can slowly overcome the pain of losing a loved one. With the hosta and the silver sachet, it can ensure her good health.

Three months after Jiang Yan arrived in the barracks, he received a letter from his family saying that Jia Min was pregnant.

This speed... is a bit fast.

Three years ago, Jiang Yan came into contact with Lin Ruhai and gave him his pulse in secret. Lin Ruhai didn't have any major physical problems, it was just caused by some literati's weakness and lack of regular exercise, and it wasn't a fatal problem.

Because it's just a pulse signal, I don't know about his fertility. In Jiang Yan's view, he doesn't care so much as long as he guarantees the physical fitness of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai.

In my memory, I have been married for many years and have no children. Jia Min has never been pregnant. I didn't expect to be pregnant so soon. Is it because of the jade hairpin?

At the same time, the Gusu Lin family had few heirs, and there were very few offshoots, not as many as the Jia family. Therefore, after Jia Min married, she only had to manage her own affairs.

Regardless of whether it is the affairs of the mansion or the business of the shops of the Lin family, there are special people to manage them. Jia Min only needs to supervise them at all times. In addition, Jia Min has learned how to be a housekeeper from Jia Mu in the Jia family. Jia Min can still handle these things. .

Because of leaving home and the death of his father, Jia Min fell seriously ill after arriving in Gusu. Just after some improvement, he found out that he was pregnant.

Lin Ruhai's parents died, and she was looking forward to her family. After finding out that Jia Min was pregnant, she would come back to accompany her as long as the business was not important.

Under the consolation of her husband, Jia Min gradually got over her sadness, and she began to cheer up for the baby in her womb. Fortunately, after three months of pregnancy, the embarrassment became less severe, which made her feel much better.

Lin Ruhai rested at home that day, it was March in Yangchun, when the scenery was the most beautiful, Jia Min asked people to prepare, and prepared to go to the temple with Lin Ruhai to offer incense, bless the safety of the mother and family in the distance, and bless the safe birth of the child in her womb.

Lin Ruhai thought that Jia Min's fetal image was stable, and he might not have gone to a temple to worship Buddha for a long time, so he took Jia Min to the temple that he and his parents used to go to. The incense was not very prosperous, but the master and his parents were old friends. The solution is very effective.

Because the journey was not far away, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min walked there. Walking on the crowded street, Jia Min finally felt alive.

All day long in the house, everyone she met was respectful to her, there were rules but there was not enough fireworks, even though she was wearing a gauze hat now, but the sound of peddlers and footsteps next to her ears revealed smoke and fireworks everywhere.

After Jia Min followed Lin Ruhai to the temple, she left. She went to worship Buddha and offer incense, and then went to the master to untie the lottery.

The master who signed the lottery and unwrapped it also said that everything is going well, and every bad luck turns into good luck. Jia Min was very happy to hear that.

Since she was a child, her elder brother said that if you believe in this kind of thing, you can believe it or not. Now she has some expectations in her heart, so she is willing to believe it, just for peace of mind.

Coming out of the lottery release room, Jia Min still didn't see Lin Ruhai, "Did you see the master."

"Master hasn't come here all this time." Chunxiu helped Jia Min out and said, "Madam is tired, why don't you go to the wing to rest for a while."

"That's fine, you can send someone to look for the master, and he will go back after he's healed." Those who came out early in the morning and walked over, were really tired from praying to Buddha and offering incense.

But it is also better than being young, and after such a long time, the spirit is not bad, and it is good to rest for a while when you are tired.

Jia Min was only thinking about waiting for Lin Ruhai to come and tell Lin Ruhai the lottery she had drawn, and she was not in the mood to sleep. She did not expect that Lin Ruhai would also look excited when she came back.

"What good thing happened to Mr. Xianggong? Let me hear it?" Seeing Lin Ruhai's smiling face, Jia Min asked with great interest.

"I just met an old man outside." Lin Ruhai sat next to Jia Min and poured himself a cup of tea to quench his thirst.

"What kind of old man, Mr. Xiang is so radiant, could it be..."

Jia Min's eyebrows were sly, and Lin Ruhai knew what she meant before she finished speaking, and patted her hand, "It's just nonsense, it's just a peddler selling hawthorn candies. In the past, my parents and I would eat his home when we came here to worship Buddha." I haven’t come here for three years since my parents passed away, I didn’t expect the peddler to still sell candy here, so I bought it on a whim and tasted it, the taste still remains the same.”

"Sister-in-law must have eaten the old hawthorn candy and thought of his father-in-law and mother-in-law." Jia Min said as she shook Lin Ruhai's hand to comfort her. She really felt the feeling of leaving relatives.

Lin Ruhai held Jia Min's hand and rubbed it, his gaze was far away, "Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can stop it. I miss my parents but I won't be sad. Madam, don't worry about me. The hawthorn candy just now tastes good. Wait a minute." Let people buy two catties and go back and eat slowly."

In Jia Min's eyes, her husband has always been very stable, and he was a high school student at a young age, which shows that he is very talented and learned. Before she got started on the affairs of the Lin family, she patiently taught her, and she seemed to have become an omnipotent person.

And it is such a person, who did not expect to have such a greedy and delicious side, Jia Min couldn't help but smiled coquettishly, "Seeing that my husband likes it so much, I want to taste it, hawthorn candy should be sour and sweet. "

"You can try it if you want, but you can't eat it now. Pregnant women are forbidden to eat hawthorn." Lin Ruhai said, looking at Jia Min's unpregnant belly.

Now Jia Min was even more surprised, "How does my husband know that pregnant women can't eat hawthorn?"

She didn't know it before, but after she was pregnant, she wanted to eat sour, so she remembered the candied haws that Jiang Yan secretly bought for her at home, and thought about getting someone to buy it and eat it.

In the compound of the deep house, candied haws are too tacky for them. If they want to eat hawthorn, they will make it into exquisite snacks. I have eaten it secretly twice, and she misses the taste very much when she is sick.

So they asked people to buy it, and Nanny Li, who came with her from Jia's house, saw it and told her a lot of foods that women need to avoid during pregnancy. Hawthorn is one of them, but Lin Ruhai didn't expect Lin Ruhai to know.

Lin Ruhai was a little shy. After all, it was embarrassing to talk about women's affairs openly, but he felt that he and his wife had nothing to say, and besides, what he read was not a mess of banned books.

"According to the book, pregnant women are forbidden to eat cold food such as hawthorn and crab, so you have to wait until after giving birth to eat."

Lin Ruhai took out a small packet of hawthorn candy from his bosom as he spoke. He didn't finish eating just now because he cared about his image in front of his wife, but now he doesn't care about his image anymore, so he can continue eating.

Under Jia Min's gaze, Lin Ruhai ate all the hawthorn candies in the paper bag, and there was not a single piece left.

"Lin Ming, go and buy two catties of hawthorn candies to take back."

After eating, Lin Ruhai yelled at the boy outside the door, and Lin Ming responded and ran to buy it.

During the series of actions last night, Lin Ruhai realized that Jia Min had been looking at him, and reached out and pinched her cheek, "Ma'am, don't be greedy, after the baby is born, my husband will take you to eat something more delicious." .”

"Xianggong knows a lot of delicious food?" Isn't the Lin family also a scholarly family?The level of strictness should be comparable to that of the Jia family. How could Lin Ruhai know so much?

Lin Ruhai is very proud of this matter. He is now an official in the court. He is Jia Min's husband and the head of the Lin family, but he was also a big boy in the past, and he would mess around with other classmates when he was studying in the clan school.

Going down the river to catch fish and dig lotus roots, climbing trees to pick fruits, and other things have been done several times. He knows what delicious food is on the way from home to school, and those hawkers who buy things have a certain knowledge. People will not move easily in the future, so if you look for it now, you will be able to find it in all likelihood.

It's just that his parents died suddenly three years ago, so he couldn't concentrate on eating, drinking and having fun. After three years of filial piety, he married a wife, and now he is an official again, so he has suppressed his original nature.

Seeing the old man today brings back some memories of the past.

Jia Min listened to Lin Ruhai's narration, and realized that Lin Ruhai was only two years older than her. She felt that she was still a little girl in front of her parents, but Lin Ruhai had no parents to rely on.

The Lin family used to be a wealthy family. Lin Ruhai was not as arrogant and extravagant as the elder brother and the second brother, but he was also brought up by the rich. He is not the kind of nerd who only knows how to read but not how to live. He climbs trees in rivers and knows where to eat It couldn't be more normal.

"Well then, after I give birth to the child, Mr. Xiang, you will take me to eat all over Gusu City. I have never tasted the dishes carefully before."

When I came to Gusu, I took the cook at home with me. During this time, I ate the meals she used to eat. After she became pregnant, she didn’t dare to eat casually, so that Jia Min hasn’t eaten Gusu yet. What does Su Caise look like?

Today, watching Lin Ruhai eat delicious hawthorn candy, and listening to him talk about the past, I can't help but want to know more about Lin Ruhai, and the beginning of understanding is from the dishes he has been eating since he was a child.

Lin Ruhai complied with all of Jia Min's requests, but it was just eating and drinking. The desire to eat and drink is not something shameful, and it's no big deal to be obsessed with it.

After discussing with each other, the husband and wife left after taking a short rest and eating the fast meal in the temple.

When I came here, I walked back in a carriage. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the shadow of the carriage was stretched very long, and it gradually disappeared into the crowd and disappeared.

Just like Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, they are the most ordinary couple among thousands of couples in this world, living an ordinary life, unobtrusive but also wonderful.
