Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

"Happy news? Could it be..." Jinyao looked at Wang Shanbao's house in surprise.

"Yes, yes, our wife suddenly had a good appetite in the afternoon today, and she felt empty early and wanted to eat, so she asked the kitchen to prepare it in advance.

Who wants to eat an elbow and throw up after only one mouthful. At first, I thought it was a mouthful, but I invited the doctor in the Baoji Hall to take a look, and it turned out to be a happy event. It has been more than a month. Do you think this is a happy event? "

"Naturally! This is really great, Jinling, Yinling, pack up, let's go and see Auntie!" Jin Yao was also very happy with Xing.

Wang Shanbao's family hurriedly stopped him:

"Don't dare to look after the girl. Our wife said that my family doesn't need to be polite. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. The girl is also busy. She is lying down now and can't get up impatiently to get up to receive her. It's the same when she comes to visit in the first month. I just want to invite you." Grandma Sun walked up to it."

Seeing Nanny Sun nodding, Jinyao said:

"That's fine, let Nanny Sun pay my respects to my aunt, and bring some nourishing herbs over there."

Wang Shanbao's family did not refuse this point for the master's family.

Their family has just moved out of Jia's mansion. Although they are not short of money, they don't have many regular supplies, such as medicinal materials, and they have to buy them now.

Now Miss Biao said that she was going to take some and refused, which would be polite.

Naturally, Jinyao wouldn't just let Nanny Sun bring medicinal materials, she also asked Shixian to bring some at home.

There are not many green leafy vegetables in this winter. I heard that pregnant people have strange tastes, but it is always good to eat more fresh vegetables. I also brought some pickles from the south for her to taste, and asked someone to bring them if they tasted good. Just let him go.

"I really didn't expect that my uncle and wife were pregnant in just half a year. After all, Nanny Sun is the best!" Jin Ling sighed.

Jin Yao chuckled lightly:

"Auntie is also considered a blessed person. The old clam is pregnant with a pearl, and the blessing lies behind."

"No, it doesn't matter if it's a brother or a sister, it's the first one of my uncle's in so many years, so it's of course important."

"Why don't you say that the Feng Shui of the new house is good, and I found out that it has just moved out, so it's not an answer!" Fei Ling laughed.

Jin Yao nodded:

"There is some truth to this statement, but children are all destined, and when fate comes, it will come."

"If you didn't meet a girl, I asked Nanny Sun to help me see, this fate may not be where it will go!" Cui Ling said unconvinced.

"Okay, you can calm down!" Jin Ling softly scolded her.

"You're on the wrong side. Isn't it fate to meet Nanny Sun?"

Not only Xingshi, but also himself.When I first passed through, I might die again at any time. It was Sun Nanny who brought her up to what she is now, isn't it her fate?

On New Year's Eve, Jinyao got up early in the morning to dress up.

"Miss, the shopkeepers and managers of the properties around the capital are all here. When do you think they will come to receive the reward?"

"Let's call in a while, they have to go back to celebrate the New Year with their families, and finish the distribution earlier so that they can leave earlier and get home earlier."

"After all, the girl is kind! Then I asked someone to bring all the money?"

"Bring it up and place it at the door, put some futons outside the threshold, and those who kowtow just kowtow outside."

A row of servants carried large wooden boxes containing silver.

The box was so heavy that the two people who carried the poles were bent, and the servants waiting in line to receive the reward could not move their eyes from the box.

If it weren't for the strict rules in the mansion that they are not allowed to discuss the family's family issues in the master's yard, they would have started talking about it long ago.

Inside the door was a large screen with eight panels. Jinyao sat behind the screen, and the four of Jinling and the six of Xizhi stood outside the screen in a fan shape to spread the word.

In fact, this is equivalent to the modern "tail teeth". On the last day of the old year, they kowtow to the owner's family to celebrate the New Year. To show their sincerity, most of the shopkeepers rushed here despite the wind and snow. Also pass by to say hello.

Yinling roll call, ten people at a time, sorted by income.

The famous steward came in, and there was a chair placed in front of the screen, and he was given a seat after kowtowing. Jinyao also had their roster details, which she had counted years ago. Which steward manages which shop and what they do Yes, how this year's income is, and how it compares with previous years, remember clearly.

Those who have increased income will be rewarded, and those who have decreased will be criticized. Those who have the best management in the same province and county will receive a large reward. Each person will have a few comments, and ten people will have to talk for a long time. After sending out red envelopes and New Year’s goods, they will exchange for another batch. Come in.

The same process, different comments and expectations for the coming year, Jinyao's throat was smoking after sending off these stewards.

Next is the servants in the mansion, this is easy, divided into male and female servants, just kowtow outside the door to get a red seal, Jinyao only needs to say a few words at the beginning, and it's over with a combination of grace and power.

Next is free time for your family.

It's a pity that Nian Gengyao is on duty today, but fortunately it's only a day shift, and he can come back to watch the night together, otherwise Jinyao would be left alone, it would be bleak to think about.

How else can I say that the new year is easy, and it will be fifteen in the blink of an eye, and the year will be over.

That day Jinyao was looking at the blueprints of the garden in the study, when a servant reported that Lian's second grandma had come.

Although Jinyao was surprised, she still asked someone to come in.

It was the first time for Wang Xifeng to come to Jinyao's study, and she couldn't help but click her tongue when she saw the rows of books on the bookshelf:

"Sister has read all these books?"

Jin Yao took a look:

"Most of them are read." These books were purchased after coming to the capital, and there are more books in the study at home in Hunan. ,

"Tsk tsk, I know this is my sister's study, but if I don't know, I think I've entered the study of which Juzi. When will I see these books?"

Jinyao laughed, instead of discussing this with her, she asked instead;

"This year is not over yet, how come my cousin is free? I'm coming soon? Could it be that the salt and pepper shrimp I ate a few days ago was not enough, and I can't help but come here again today? Then I can tell you, come back as soon as possible." , the food has been eaten."

"Hey, eating is still the second priority. I really have something to do here today. It's not the time for my mother's visit, it's on the fifteenth day!"

"Just got the news?" Isn't this too rushed?

"Wow, Eunuch Xia in the palace has already communicated, and the family has already made preparations for the next few days."

It's just that it's not in vain to go away once, and there are always many benefits to be removed.

"Oh, isn't that soon, the day after tomorrow I can take my mother back to the mansion, how long can I stay?"

"Don't mention it, we will be staying for a few more days. The Ministry of Rites has already sent someone over, saying that they will come back that day." Wang Xifeng patted his thigh.

Jinyao looked at Wang Xifeng sympathetically.

The whole family of the Jia family has been busy for half a year before rushing to build the garden and prepare to take the empress back to live in. The money spent is like running water, just wanting to add honor to the empress, but it can only be used for a few hours, this is really... …

Wang Xifeng was also suffocating, but the royal rules were like this, so who dared to say anything.

"Then you are not busy at home, why do you still have time to go out?"

"Isn't this old lady remembering that you will go to the draft after the next year? She wants to pick you up and meet you when your mother visits you. There will be someone in the palace to take care of you. This is also for your sake."

Jin Yao smiled:

"Thank you, old lady, for your concern, but it's not easy for your mother to live in the palace, so don't bother her with my little things, or I will feel sorry for causing her trouble."

"Cousins, how can you call me troublesome!"

"Although I'm a cousin, I'm from a different surname. I can't appear in front of my mother without a will. My cousin left home since she was a child. It's been more than ten years since I came back to take a look. I still have to bring some vulgar clothes. Wouldn't it spoil her interest to bother her with something?"

"This……"

"The old lady was kind enough for me. I probably didn't expect this. My cousin might as well talk to the old lady when I go back. If it's really all right, I'd be happy to get to know my cousin."

"You're still thoughtful, okay, then I'll go back and talk to the old lady, and I'll talk to you then."

"Okay, cousin sister-in-law can go back after eating here, and take it easy when she comes out for a while."

"Hey, I don't have such a good life. As you said, there are a lot of things at home. Okay, I'll go back right away. If you have something delicious, you can bring it back for me to eat, and I can still eat it." Eat two extra meals."

The girls on the left and right were all amused by her, and Jin Yao also laughed:

"Of course it's fine, Feiling, go to the kitchen to see what kind of food is ready, pick up what my cousin likes to eat and pack it up."

"Yes, girl."

"Knowing that you are really busy, I didn't want to keep you, so I had to come and play when I was free."

"Okay, you can go there to play when you have time, the girls at home often talk about you."

"Okay, I'll go there when I'm free. Did Cousin Lin feel better last time?"

"Let's just cough. Her body is like that. She gets sick for a few months every year, and she's used to it."

After seeing off Wang Xifeng, Jinyao was not in the mood to look at the pictures anymore, and stretched back to her bedroom.

"This Lian's second grandma is really like a 'Ji Jingfeng', coming and going in a hurry, she only sat for more than half an hour before leaving, and she was not too tired to panic."

"Didn't she say that there is no shortage of her in the mansion? There are too many things to do!"

"If you're so busy, why don't you call me a helper? The three girls in the house are all grown up, and Grandma Zhu, why is she busy alone?"

"I can't bear to let go of power. I heard that Lian's second grandma likes to manipulate power the most. She holds all the cards and keys to the warehouse in her own hands. How can she not work hard?"

Jinyao is not interested in the content of the girls' chat, she is only curious about one thing:

"She didn't mention aunt when she came here today, do you think she knows that aunt has it?"

All the girls stopped what they were doing, you look at me, I look at yours.

"You probably don't know, such a big matter, if you know, can you be so calm?"

"The family has been divided, so it doesn't matter if you know it or not."

Well, this is another gossip for them.

Here, at Wang Xifeng's house in the coming year, Jinyao was invited to meet her mother on the fifteenth day, and Mrs. Wang also went to Xue's house to invite Baochai.

Xue Baochai hadn't recovered from her illness, and she didn't bother to deal with Mrs. Wang, so she came out to see her and went back to her room to lie down.

It happened that Mrs. Wang and sisters were talking privately.

"This time, Yuan girl comes back to visit relatives. I will find a chance for her to meet Bao girl. If she has seen it in person, then Baochai will not lose her status if she follows Baoyu."

Aunt Xue froze:

"What do you mean by that, sister?"

Didn't she agree to promise Baochai to Baoyu, and she borrowed so much silver to her? What does this mean now?

Mrs. Wang looked calm:

"Look at what my sister said, do I need to say this too clearly? Baoyu is also the mother's direct brother. Although he has no official title, he is still young, and he will definitely not be white in the future. So If you have a daughter-in-law from a merchant's family with this status, you will lose your empress's face!"

"You! But you didn't say that before!" Aunt Xue was anxious. Isn't this a lie.

"Baby girl wasn't like this before!

First look at her simplicity and generosity, I naturally like her very much, but in the past six months, she seems to have changed her personality, and there was such a scandal before, it wasn't my aunt who said her, you see which good family will come Propose marriage?

But marrying Baoyu is different, they have been playing together since a few years ago, they have feelings, and my own aunt is here, who dares to be wronged by her, even if she is a noble concubine, she is no different from a real lady! "

Aunt Xue has always had no idea, so she hesitated again when she said that.

The most important thing is that she doesn't have many suitable social circles, and she can't help her daughter. After coming to Beijing for a few years, no one really proposes marriage to Baochai.

She didn't even think about it, since she came to Beijing, she lived in Jia's house, and Jia's house rarely held banquets in recent years, where would she meet people.

Just at this moment, Yinger, the girl next to Baochai, hurried over:

"Madam, go over and have a look, the girl's chest hurts again!"

The two sisters of the Wang family hurried to the inner room, only to see Baochai holding her chest and panting, her face flushed, and Aunt Xue was frightened:

"My son, it was fine just now, what's the matter, did you call the doctor?"

"I have already sent someone to call, I think it is on the way."

"You heard me, the doctor will be here soon, you lie down first."

Baochai lay down obediently, looked at Mrs. Wang apologetically, and said intermittently:

"I was rude in front of my aunt, and my aunt worried that it was Baochai's fault."

"You girl, what do you say, it's serious to take care of your illness."

"It's okay, I'm sick, I'll be fine after a while, Auntie sit outside for a while."

"I won't sit down anymore, there are still things in the mansion, if you need any medicinal materials, just go to the mansion to get them from me!"

After a few words of politeness, he left, and before leaving, he gave Aunt Xue a wink to make her think carefully.

As soon as Mrs. Wang left, Xue Baochai sat up, not as ill as before, and Aunt Xue was startled:

"My son, you are..."
