Daiyu's life

Chapter 9

Lin Ruhai knew about Jia Lian's supporting Daiyu. At the beginning, Jia Amnesty had already given him generous gifts, and now Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng brought these things over again, which made Daiyu puzzled. When Jia Min took Wang Xifeng away, Daiyu I didn't want to go to one, two, three, four, five, so I could only collect my things and study with my two little ones without mentioning it.

In fact, this is what Daiyu thinks is complicated. Jia Lian and his wife gave this important gift for nothing else, but to tell Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, "Uncle and aunt, we know about your cultivation. We are very grateful, thank you very much, and in the future Even if we are successful, we will not forget our uncle and aunt." This is also a stink problem of rich and noble families.

Jia Min led Wang Xifeng to the main courtyard and drank a cup of tea before he started talking about business. During this time, Wang Xifeng stayed with her all the time without showing any anxiety, which undoubtedly made Jia Min more satisfied.

Putting down the teacup, he said to Wang Xifeng, "You are also a smart girl, Feng, you should have seen why I asked you and my husband to come here after so many days. No one can make things happen, Zhuer is a good one, but he left early, Lianer's mother left early, he was raised by the old lady, the old lady is old, it is inevitable that she will spoil her, the old lady also thought about it Lian'er is going to be a prince in the future, so it doesn't matter if he reads or not, so the teaching of Lian'er will inevitably be relaxed, but now there is a real shortage of second elder brothers in the whole house, and Lian'er can only do it now. Some errands, it doesn't matter now, but in the future."

Wang Xifeng: "What my aunt said was that my father always said that we should make progress, but my nephew and the second master have the strength and don't know where to use it. They said they were going out to socialize, and the second master was young and couldn't manage the family, so he could only help. The second wife is doing some errand work, isn't she?"

Jia Min sneered uncontrollably, but she didn't say that the second wife didn't say anything. Instead, she asked Wang Xifeng, "Madam Feng, you have been married to the mansion for more than a year. Do you have a housekeeper when you are at home?"

Wang Xifeng's face turned red, she was really embarrassed to say that she had been in charge of the house, she had been looking at Jia Min's housekeeper for a month, and her blinded eyes in Jia's mansion were a little opened, she said in Rongguo mansion that she was the housekeeper, but Even Mrs. Fan next to Jia Min is inferior. Anyway, there is only Jia Min as the hostess in this mansion. Who dares to provoke her confidantes? As for Wang Xifeng, there are three mothers-in-law above, not to mention the big and small girls around her, and those companions are not good friends. Yes, I can't see the account books at home, I can't touch the keys, and the whole woman who runs errands, Wang Ziteng's wife, and Wang Xifeng's mother, Shi, didn't say this, but Wang Xifeng didn't listen to it at all. Only after getting away from those flattery people did I come to my senses.

Jia Min also wanted Wang Xifeng's answer, but continued to ask, "Girl Feng, you have also met many dignitaries and dignitaries in Beijing. Tell me what is most important to you now."

Wang Xifeng froze for a moment and said, "Of course it's the second master." Jia Min shook her head and said, "Wrong, it's a son." There will definitely be, there is nothing to care about.

Jia Min sighed, took Wang Xifeng's hand and said, "What a silly girl, don't say that Lian'er is going to become a prince in the future, even ordinary people can only straighten their backs when they have sons. Back then when my father was alive, the family was so prominent. The daughter of the Duke’s Mansion must be honorable enough. After three years of marriage, I had no children, so I still had to be careful in front of my mother-in-law. It’s false, save a lot of private houses for who will be left in the future, and for whom will you urge your husband to get ahead, look at those wives and grandmas in Beijing, don’t they have a son-in-law before they can talk at home.”

Jia Min saw that Wang Xifeng didn't understand and didn't care, and then said, "When you got married, Lian'er donated the official title of a fifth-rank co-prefect. There is a position in Yangzhou this year from a fifth-rank prefect, although that position is not very good. There are always floods, but it is also a place where achievements are made. Your uncle is active, and Lian'er should be able to take office in August this year without any accidents."

Wang Xifeng came to his senses, raised his voice by two degrees, and asked repeatedly, "What my aunt said is true, this..." After speaking, he knelt down to Jia Min and said, "Thank you, aunt, for your cultivation. My aunt's kindness, the second master and I will never forget."

Jia Min pulled Wang Xifeng up and said, "You girl, you are too impatient. What I told you just now is because you two are young, and you don't know the importance outside. It is inevitable that there will be more things for officials to take office. Patronize Watching those useless people lose their lives."

Wang Xifeng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Auntie still thinks long-term. I was wondering just now. My niece and my second master have only been married for more than a year. How can my aunt talk about this?"

Jia Min shook his head indifferently, "I don't think long-term, it's your aunt and I have suffered so much, how can I bear not to tell you, don't say anything else, without your two cousins, how dare I tell your uncle Give Lian'er an official position, since my mother-in-law passed away, I can say the same about your aunt at home, but what's the use of that, everything is useless without a son."

Wang Xifeng, "I have written down everything my aunt said about my nephew and daughter-in-law, and I must persuade the second master to take good care of his body."

Jia Min patted Wang Xifeng's hand and said, "You should be more careful yourself. You lost your health and gave all the wealth and honor of the family to those big-hearted bed climbers."

Wang Xifeng nodded incessantly, and Jia Min straightened his face and continued, "Except for this, what are I telling you, the biggest difference between external officials and Beijing officials is that basically they hold the life and death of the people in their hands. I don't know what to do as an official." , Those are taught by your uncle, but we official wives should pay attention to something, I can't help but tell you something."

Seeing Jia Min's serious face, Wang Xifeng put away her smile and said, "Auntie, I will definitely remember."

Jia Min "everyone says that a virtuous wife is less likely to cause misfortune. Firstly, you can't use the reputation of Lian'er to go out and do some things like sweeping lawsuits and collecting money. I really want to save two. When you go to a place, there are many merchants who beg for you." If you give money, if you have the ability, you can find someone to partner with you to do something. If you don’t have a few dry stocks, it’s okay. Jiangnan Yushui is good. It’s better than anything else to buy a few villages or shops and take the lawsuit. The two money collected are not enough to wash their reputations. Those who donate to officials like Lianer have a reputation.

On the bad side, there is no hope of promotion at all, and the gain outweighs the loss.The second is that I know that there are some wives and grandmas in Beijing who take their private houses and put them away as examples of money. Not to mention that the money is detrimental to the sons and grandchildren. It is not easy to get promoted. There are many people waiting to grab your handle to climb up. If you are an official, you will not be short of the two money. The third is to keep some points for your words and actions. You must know that you are an official Madam, sometimes when you say something, there may be a villain who distorts your meaning, and there are many nobles in Beijing, and the servants below are also careful, but when this comes out, some people Pretend to be the second master, and there is nothing they dare not do behind the master's back. You and Lian'er are keeping your duty and doing things well. If you let those slaves have a bad reputation, there is really no place to cry Go, the slaves at home just bring two confidantes, those old grandparents are better to stay in Beijing, if there is not enough manpower, they will buy them when they go to the place, and they also know the local affairs, and it is convenient to use. "

Wang Xifeng was also deeply touched by these mothers and grandmas of Jia's family, and if they were released to the outside world, they would definitely buy the family property. If there were more servants in the mansion, it would be inevitable that the news would not be leaked, so she said, "I know what my aunt said. It’s just that it’s agreed to come to help my aunt for a while, and the family has brought so many people, if it’s said to be released outside, then it’s not sure what will happen.”

Jia Min smiled and said, "Don't worry about these things. I'll write to your master when the time comes. He can't help you with other things as a father, and he can't even take care of this little thing."

Jia Min hadn't returned to Beijing for many years, and Wang Xifeng didn't have the nerve to say, "Our master and wife can't talk at all at home, and the second wife of our ancestors is the master." The reason why Wang Xifeng and the Wang family have such a good relationship is also in the hands of the Wang family Because Wang Xifeng has so much power, she has no choice but to please her. Now that Wang Xifeng can come out and be the master of the house, she is not so close to her aunt.

Jia Min gave instructions all afternoon, and then said, "I've told you so much just to let you know something. It will take seven or eight months before Lian'er takes office. Your uncle is a salt administrator and a magistrate, and there are still some dissatisfied people." Similarly, there are a lot of posts from various families during the Chinese New Year, so follow me out and have a look. Although those wives and grandmas are not as rich as Beijing, and their official positions are not high, they have their own way of life. What I can’t get in touch with in Beijing, I will hold a few flower viewing banquets in spring, and I will have it. The rest is just Lian’er’s business. If he doesn’t show interest, we will not do well. "

Wang Xifeng said embarrassingly, "Uncle and aunt have been tired so much now, how can I let my aunt be tired? It would be great to go out for a walk during the Chinese New Year."

Jia Min shook his head and said with a smile, "Why do our family members talk about these things? Besides, you are all for the sake of you two. Your sister has also reached the age of going out to socialize. If you do a few more games, your sister can get to know more people. Girls Although I can't go out and roam around like a man, it's good to know more people, who knows what the future will be like."

Wang Xifeng was speechless, she followed Shi's for a walk at first, but she really didn't have any close friends in her boudoir, so there was no help, the Jia family didn't take girls out for a walk at all, so Wang Xifeng also forgot about it.

Jia Min sighed and said, "Their men have classmates and friends who share the same interests, and our girls can teach two close sisters when they are in the boudoir. When they get married, they are all about family affairs. Sister-in-law and uncle-in-law, how can there be such leisure time."
