Zhou Qin was naturally very happy to receive such a talented disciple, although he seldom praised him face to face in front of Jia Jue in order not to make him proud.

In addition, I really have nothing in common with the two masters of Jia's mansion, so I often talk about Jia Jue's excellence with my friend Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai has only been in Tanhua for a few years now, and he hasn't been a salt patrol censor like in the original book.Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have a harmonious relationship, and they are naturally happy that the Yue family nephew has such a talent.

So I often told Jia Min that every time Jia Min went back to her natal home, she would praise Jia Jue in front of Jia's mother.Rumors that the third master Jue of Jia's mansion could read also spread in Jia's mansion.

Fortunately, after making such a big circle, none of the people who spread the word in the middle were of the public type, otherwise the rumors would have been even more outrageous.

After hearing this, Jia Jue found that it was about the same strength as the previous rumor that Jia Zhu would read books, so she was relieved.

Before he grows up, he can keep a low profile if he can.Make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Jia Jue also hinted at Mr. Zhou, and sure enough, Jia Jue's study progress never leaked out.

This day, Jia Jue finished practicing the five big characters as usual, and was about to take a break and change his eyes. After all, it would be extremely troublesome to be short-sighted in this era.

Like Mr. Zhou, who was born in a poor family. Because of studying hard day and night in his early years, his eyes are now very short-sighted.He doesn't want to squint to look at people in the future, it's too unhandsome.

"Master, there is news from the inner courtyard that the second wife is happy." Guan Yan hurried in.

"Second wife?" Hong Fu couldn't believe it, shouldn't it be Aunt Zhao?

"Yes, the second wife is happy." Guan Yan repeated.

"Oh." Jia Jue nodded to show that he knew that Mrs. Wang was in her early thirties, even in modern times, she was also an elderly woman. In this era when concubines were legal, the married life between a woman of this age and her husband was basically rare. .I am already starting to marry my son a daughter-in-law waiting to be a grandmother.

And as long as there is no shortage of sons, ladies are rarely willing to have another one. After all, childbirth in ancient times was a hell of a journey.Having a child at this age is simply risking your life.

No wonder Hong Fu was so surprised, Mrs. Wang doesn't lack a son.Maybe it's because Jia Zhu is the only one who is not safe?

Mrs. Wang's birth is the famous Jia Baoyu.It is said that Jia Baoyu was born from Hanyu, which is not a good thing for Jia Jue.

First of all, jade is too sensitive, and it really puts the royal family on the nerves.

Secondly, he already has a "Kirin noble son", and another "born with jade" will not be good for his status in the family, and at the same time, it will make the royal family more afraid of the Jia family.

He needs to think of a way to turn Jia Baoyu's "born with jade" into a man-made drama.

The wife of the second room, Lao Mu is pregnant with a pearl, and the house is full of joy on the surface, and the old lady also rewarded Mrs. Wang with many things.

It's just that there are some rumors among the servants.

"It is said that the second wife wants to create auspiciousness for the child in her belly."

"What do you mean? Why do you want to do this?"

"Hey, are you stupid? Look at Third Master Jue. The old lady dotes on him because of the good omen of 'Kirin giving birth to a child'. It even benefits the eldest wife and the first wife. Originally, the old lady favored the second bedroom. It's just that there is no big difference between the two rooms after having Third Master Jue. Do you think the second wife will be willing."

"That's what you said. See if they are all legitimate sons. The second master Lian is still the first wife's legitimate son, but the degree of favor in front of the old lady can't be compared with that of the third master Jue."

"This is also the reason why Second Master Lian didn't live up to expectations. Our old lady likes younger generations who can read. At the beginning, Second Master Lian couldn't learn by himself, so no one can blame him."

"Excuse me, how does the second wife make auspiciousness? Same as the third master Jue?"

"You're stupid, that's a birthmark on Mrs. Jue's body. You thought it was a picture. The birthmark came from the womb. Show me one."

"Is that an auspicious dream like the old lady's?"

"Maybe."

"It's just that not many people will believe it. It's not as convincing as Third Master Jue."

"I don't know whether the child in the second wife's womb is a boy or a girl. Is it too early to say this?"

"Idiot, it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. Look at the big girl. Isn't it extraordinarily noble to be born on the first day of the first lunar month by the second wife? The little daughter-in-law next door to my house also gave birth to a child on the first day of the first lunar month. It's a boy. I don't see what the kid has to offer."

"Shh, keep your voice down, if the girl in the second bedroom hears it, I'll report you to the second wife at that time, and be careful not to walk around."

"Hey, don't worry, I'm watching all around here, no one is there."

"..."

"Old lady, servants, go and get rid of these ignorant..."

"No need." Mother Jia waved her hand, "It's just a trick of the back house women. It's good to let her know about Wang's shallow eyelids."

Once you know it, you won't use these unsightly tricks anymore.When Yuan Chun was born, the tricky thought that her old lady didn't know.

It's just that he is not deaf, dumb, and not a family member. In addition, although the child is born weak, he can still be raised.It's good for a girl to have a good time.

But this time, I can't let Mrs. Wang mess around, and I don't care how old I am.

"Yes, old lady."

It's just that what Jia's mother didn't expect was that many rumors in Jia's family would only be spread among servants and outsiders, and those who were interested in the master kept silent.

"Third Master, this servant just came back from outside. Guess what I heard?" Guan Yan was the liveliest and gossipy of Jia Jue's four servants.And it is also the only one who is not born at home.The family is still in the capital, a bit like the Xiren around Jia Baoyu.Jia Jue learned most of the outside world through him.

When he was five years old, he never took a single step out of Rongguo Mansion, except to accompany Jia Mu and the female relatives to the Iron Kan Temple.

"What did you hear that made you come here to fawn on the master?" Baitao nonchalantly slapped Guanyan, and she was very dissatisfied with Guanyan telling Jia Jue the messy things outside on weekdays. of.I'm afraid that Jia Jue's temper will be changed after hearing about those goofy things.

It's just that they can't bear Jia Jue's own listening, and even less can't bear Jia Jue's young master, but they are not at their mercy.

Jia Jue could also guess a little bit about Baitao's thoughts. All the servants of the Jia family were like this. Mother Jia herself said that the servants below should think of their master more.

Therefore, the servants of the Jia family always have a lot of reasons.

Baitao is the big girl sent by Jia's mother, Jia Jue can't drive people away for no reason, but he can pay more attention to Hong Fu, who is steady and knows how to advance and retreat among the two big maids.You can also choose one or two of the second-class maids to value.

Not urgent!

"Tell me." Jia Jue put down the geographical records in his hand, and raised his head to signal Guan Yan to speak.

"People outside somehow know that our second wife is happy, and they are planning to make some auspicious omens. Some idlers outside even made some handicap, betting on what our second wife will do."

"How do people outside know?" Jia Jue asked knowingly.

"There's nothing surprising about this. None of the servants in our mansion are tight-lipped. Even if the eldest girl was born on the first month of the first lunar month, words of great fortune can be spread." Baitao's small mouth, Barabara, kept talking.

Jia Jue felt that the white peach next to her looked like the Qingwen next to Jia Baoyu in the future, with sharp teeth and sharp mouth.It's just that she may not be as good as Qingwen in appearance.

"Okay, don't say a few words, these are old ladies' affairs, and have nothing to do with us." Hong Fu stepped out, and Bai Tao didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, when these two big girls came to Jia Jue's side, Baitao's status was slightly higher.Both of them were the best among the second-class girls in Jiamu's house, but Baitao had more seniority than Hongfu.

Moreover, Baitao's sewing skills are very good, and Jia's mother sent her to Jia Jue because of her skills.

It's just that Jia Jue is different from Jia Baoyu. As long as Jia Baoyu is good-looking, it doesn't matter if she has a bad temper. On the contrary, she will like her more.

For example, Qingwen.

But Jia Jue didn't have the habit of praising maids, and he only had useful, suitable, clever, and clever ones.There is no one who is good-looking and has a distinctive temper.

So with Jia Jue's support, Hong Fu sits firmly at No.1.

"Auntie, just eat a little. It's useless if you don't eat or drink like this. The second wife is the wife of the main house. It's for your face to let you serve her."

"What face do I want, what face do I have? The old lady gave me to the second master just to watch me give birth, but I didn't get pregnant, but my wife did. Don't you know how ugly the outside world is? "Aunt Zhao lay on the bed and wept.

"This child's affairs are all up to God's will. If Auntie cries again, it's just a joke for outsiders." Caixia looked at Aunt Zhao who didn't listen to her at all.She felt that this was not going to work. Now she and Aunt Zhao are both prosperous and hurt, and she must not let Aunt Zhao continue to be so decadent.

"Auntie, do you know the woman who lives in the corner room?"

"what?"

"Auntie, it's none other than Aunt Zhou, the master's concubine. Aunt Zhou was also given to the master by the old lady, but she has a meek temper and will only cry when she is wronged. Nothing, food and use are not as good as rough maids. Does my aunt want to be like Aunt Zhou, living a life that would be worse than death. "

"Aunt Zhou?" Aunt Zhao thought of the dull, lifeless old woman she had seen before.I trembled all over.

"No, I don't want to be that kind of person, no, never!" The reason why she was willing to be an aunt was because she wanted a life of wealth and honor. Wouldn't it be a waste of work to live such a miserable life as a concubine?

"It's good for Auntie to wake up. Auntie Zhou's lesson is right in front of her eyes. It's not okay to just cry in the house. To be disrespectful, it's the wife's business to be virtuous and magnanimous. Auntie is just a concubine. They say marrying a wife Marry a virtuous man, take a concubine and a woman. Since my aunt has become a concubine, she will naturally use means to win over the master."

"Whether those face-worthy people can eat or drink, besides, my aunt has already become an aunt, why don't you take advantage of her good looks and when the master loves you, grab more money in your hands, if you can give birth to a son and a half daughter It depends."

Caixia analyzed the pros and cons to Aunt Zhao and told Aunt Zhao how to be a concubine.

"The girl is right." Aunt Zhao is not stupid, knowing that what Caixia said is for her own good, so she wiped away her tears and grabbed Caixia's hand: "You and my master and servant will gain a firm foothold in this yard in the future, but supported each other."

"What my aunt said is that the maidservant and my aunt are like grasshoppers on the same rope. If my aunt's life is good, the life of my servant will be easy."

The initial heart-to-heart exchange between master and servant is over.

Aunt Zhao thought that her wife wanted her to serve in the main courtyard every day but she wouldn't let her come close, she just let her stand aside as punishment.This is obviously to guard against her.

Even when she was a maid, she never stood for such a long time.

Thinking of the numbness in her legs and feet when she stood every day, Aunt Zhao's mood immediately became gloomy again.

"My wife is cruel enough. I don't know how to accumulate blessings for the sister in my stomach by torturing me like this every day." Aunt Zhao was annoyed.

"Auntie, these are not the most important thing. The important thing is that we must hurry up and conceive a child during the period when my wife is pregnant and cannot serve the master. As long as you are pregnant, you can intercede with the master instead of going to the main courtyard to serve After all, the old lady is kind, after the second wife became pregnant, she didn't ask the second wife to serve her."

"You are right, as long as you are pregnant with a child, you don't need to go to the main courtyard to serve." Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up: "But this child's affairs are not all you can have."

"So I need Auntie to come up with some means." Caixia thinks that Aunt Zhao is really not smart, but considering that the fortune teller said Aunt Zhao will have a son and a daughter, it is not hopeless to follow her.It's better than going out and being sold to the old man as a concubine by that cruel brother.

So then Aunt Zhao began her career as a concubine. Apart from the well-known aunt, there were a few other maids in Jia Zheng's house, but it was Mrs. Wang who made the decision.Naturally, that appearance cannot be compared with that of Aunt Zhao bestowed by Mother Jia, and Aunt Zhao used a [-]-point method.

Naturally, Jia Zheng stayed in Aunt Zhao's room every day, and Mrs. Wang was so angry that she died.

Under Caixia's reminder, Aunt Zhao always dressed up beautifully and went to the main courtyard to serve Mrs. Wang, and she was very attentive and wanted to join Mrs. Wang.

It made Mrs. Wang angry and scared, so she had to ask Aunt Zhao not to serve in the main room.

"Ha, I thought it was some kind of noble lady with great skills." Aunt Zhao returned to her room as if she had won a battle.

"Auntie, that's amazing!" Caixia boasted.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao became even more proud.

"Auntie, between wives and concubines, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. We need to dig more holes for the wife in front of the master while the wife is pregnant and mentally weak."

"What do you think?" Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up.

"I heard that the second wife is going to make an auspicious omen for the child in her belly..."

"Is it done?"

"Well, it's done."

Jia Jue nodded. He didn't have much time to spend fighting in the inner chamber. The one who threatened him now was Mrs. Wang.Sending a smart maid to Aunt Zhao, presumably it can absorb most of Mrs. Wang's energy.
