A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

Yun Shuyao left the main courtyard, returned to her own courtyard, poured herself a cup of tea, and just watched the ups and downs of the tea leaves inside.

Jia Min said that her time was numbered, this Yun Shuyao believed it.

Jia Min's health is getting worse and worse.

Modern medicine is so developed, and so many people die of diseases, let alone in this era.

As for the deal that Jia Min mentioned, it is easy to say. According to Lin Ruhai's age and official position, if Jia Min passed away, the possibility of him remarrying is not small.

Once he marries again, she will change to a direct superior. What kind of temperament is this direct superior? Will he be too harsh on his subordinates? It's a complete bet on character.

And at this time, it is basically a blind marriage.

Except for a few people who are ostentatious, and those who have secret schemes in their own families, which daughter's family will have a bad reputation with the outside world?

Only when you really marry into the family do you know what kind of person you are.

Not to mention how Chen Yu's status would be shaken if the other party gave birth to a son-in-law.

And the deal Jia Min proposed is that she will make Lin Ruhai completely stop thinking about remarrying. In that case, Yun Shuyao will be the biggest in the back house, and it won't take too long. After getting married, the middle income of the family can be transferred to the new daughter-in-law, and the old lady will continue to hold it for a few years.

In that case, Yun Shuyao will not have a superior in the past few years, and Chen Yu will not have to face a possible younger brother, so he can get the best training.

Correspondingly, they have to take care of Daiyu.

There is an old lady and Lin Ruhai on Daiyu, but Jia Min thinks about the more distant future.

She will also worry about the character of the step-wife and the character of the possible son-in-law in the future.

As for the temperament of himself and Chenyu, Jia Min must have already observed the results.

...

In the main courtyard, Jia Min looked out the window and was also thinking.

Jia Min is not worried that her Daiyu will be treated badly.

And with the old lady and the master around, her Daiyu's life wouldn't be bad.

When her daughter gets married, apart from the dowry bought by the Lin family, there will also be her dowry. Those are all Daiyu's. She will never worry about money in her life.

It's just that they will grow old one day, and Daiyu needs to establish a good relationship with her elder brother, the head of the Lin family of the next generation.

When her daughter gets married in the future, if something happens to her, the Lin family will have to stand up for her and support her.

And Jia Min admits that he also has selfish motives.

It is a good thing for the Yun family and the others that the master does not remarry, but it is also a good thing for themselves.

In that case, even if she died, her Daiyu would still be the one with the highest status.

Even if Chenyu inherits the Lin family in the future, she must treat her Daiyu well.

Moreover, Jia Min was certain that Lin Ruhai would not marry again.

Except for emotional reasons, when officials go to other places to serve as officials, they do not bring their regular wives with them, but there are quite a few people with concubines.

Besides... There are not one or two women in the backyard. The master is indeed not going well in terms of heirs. For the sake of the only male in the next generation, the master must also carefully consider the pros and cons of remarrying.

This is actually a win-win for her and Yun's.

And the old lady... just by seeing how she regards Chenyu as an eyeball, she won't force the master to remarry.

As for the others, Jia Min sighed quietly.

It's not that she didn't think of other ways, but she ruled them out one by one. First of all, for example, to record Chenyu in her name and become her son-in-law, so that she will be closer to her Daiyu, but— — What the mother did before has not been forgotten.

She did not forget.

Even old ladies and gentlemen will not forget.

Mother became concerned about the Lin family's heirs, Chenyu was the first to bear the brunt, and even mother's medicine powder had already been given to Nanny Qian.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

What will Chenyu think in his heart when he finds out in the future?

Moreover, as far as she observed, the relationship between Yunshi and Luoyu Chenyu is very good, no matter which one they are, they trust her very much.

Also very dependent on her.

Will Chenyu change his name willingly?

What's more, a concubine is a concubine, and a concubine is a concubine.

Everyone who has made good friends with them knows the roots of the Lin family, and the truth cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be true.

Those who come by force are not beautiful, and are prone to resentment.

Her second idea was to make Chenyu and the Jia family closer. If there were girls of the right age in the Jia family or in-laws, it would be a good idea to give Chenyu a chance.

But she found out that the master did not consider marrying Xungui at all, he planned to find a family with the same scholarly reputation to marry his daughter-in-law.

This road was blocked.

After thinking about it, this is the most suitable method she came up with.

-

Yun Shuyao took a sip of tea slowly.

She could understand Jia Min's thoughts.

It's hard for a mother not to worry about her daughter.

Always want to arrange the most appropriate everything for her.

It is in Daiyu's best interest for the Lin family not to admit newcomers.

Then there is Chen Yu.

If Chenyu really loves this younger sister, with the old lady and Lin Ruhai, and such an older brother, even without Jia Min to take care of her, she can live a life without worries.

And she is Chen Yu's biological mother.

There is no doubt about the influence on him, that's why today's conversation happened.

Jia Min persuaded Lin Ruhai not to marry again, and she only needed to not prevent Chenyu and Daiyu from getting close, so that their brother and sister could have a harmonious relationship.

Yun Shuyao let out a long sigh.

Pity the parents of the world.

Although she knew that Jia Min was worrying too much, she would not have prevented Chen Yu and the others from getting together with Dai Yu.

No, it's not necessary.

At first, Yun Shuyao wondered if there would be something special about the heroine.

But after observing for so long, she had to admit that Daiyu was just an ordinary human little girl.

If she is really the reincarnation of the legendary fairy grass, then she will be a complete human being after reincarnation.

There is no ability or specialness as a fairy grass.

This also makes sense.

Those reincarnated powers in myths and legends are basically forgotten after reincarnation, and only by chance and coincidence can they recall the original memory.

So she will not stop the child from having a relationship with Daiyufen, and it doesn't matter to her if Daiyu marries with most of the Lin family's property in the future.

The Lin family's family property and network resources are undoubtedly rich, but Yun Shuyao was already mentally prepared for the concubine's separation and independence from the very beginning.

Even, she is already planning some routes for her son to prepare for his future official career.

She is from hereafter.

There are some things that she doesn't need to know very clearly, as long as she knows one result, she has already taken a huge advantage.

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about the next emperor.

As long as you have completed compulsory education, you will know that Yongzheng is the next successor after Kangxi, ranking fourth.

Instead of the second elder brother who was established as the prince since childhood.

The next term will still be ranked fourth, which is the later Qianlong.

How many people want to learn from the Dragon?

She already knew the ending in advance.

Besides, her son is not the kind of person without conscience, he also has affection for Jia Min, a kind aunt.

From now on, even if she can't compare with his own sister to Lin Daiyu, she won't be any worse.

Jia Min's time of being energetic every day is getting shorter and shorter, and she is gradually arranging her funeral affairs.

She counted her dowry and made a list.

There was a copy for the old lady, the master, Zhao Yin, and the Jia family.

After all, it was her mother's house, Daiyu's maternal grandfather's house.

Jia Min faced his own death calmly.

On the contrary, the sadness on Lin Ruhai's face was heavier.

Every day after Lin Ruhai came back from the yamen, he would definitely go to accompany her, watching her getting thinner and thinner.

I can't eat more and more.

Daiyu is still ignorant and doesn't know what death is, but she is also instinctively attached to her mother, unwilling to leave.

Starting from Yingyu, everyone went to serve her.

Jia Min didn't chase anyone away.

When I have spare time, I also tell them some things that a mistress should do.

Yingyu and Luoyu are already 11 years old, and they have started to learn how to house the house with the old lady.

How to be a housewife when you get married in the future.

What Jia Min knew was not exactly the same as the old lady.

She has a better understanding of the complicated relationship in the capital.

For example, the royal family, the nobles of the palace, the four kings and eight princes and so on.

She doesn't teach these things, and no one can say anything. Now that she teaches, it can only be said that Jia Min is forming a good relationship.

On a certain day, before finishing the 39 years of Kangxi, Jia Min closed his eyes forever.

The Lin family was surrounded by a piece of plain.

Jia Min, as the aunt, passed away, and all the children under her knees wore sackcloth and filial piety. She had to observe mourning for three years, 27 months to be exact.

There were a lot of people who came, and the funeral itself had a lot of cumbersome procedures, and the old lady was incapable of doing things. Not only Yingyu and Luoyu were ordered around, and they lost a few pounds, Yun Shuyao and Aunt Mei also became strong laborers. , was too busy to turn his head.

Jia's mansion, who received the funeral report, also came, and it was Jia Zhu and Jia Lian brothers who came.

The two of them have not married yet, but Jia Zhu is 17 years old and Jia Lian is 14 years old.

Jia's mother and Jia Amnesty were struck by the news and fell ill. Jia Zheng couldn't leave him, so the younger generation came over.

They hurried over all the way, and when Jia Zhu landed, the servants who were greeted by Lin's mansion were startled.

This body is too thin, and his eyes are dark and dark. It seems that he is very sad about the death of his aunt.

As soon as Jia Lian landed, she howled, "Auntie, you left too early, how could you bear to leave so many people behind..."

Jia Zhu wept silently.

Seeing the two of them like this, Lin Ruhai's expression on his thin and haggard face softened.

The two were led to the coffin, knelt down on the ground and wailed, burned incense for Jia Min, and then couldn't help looking at the filial sons and grandsons who were kneeling next to them.

They saw their cousin Chenyu who had already started to draw, and then their direct cousin Daiyu who was about to faint from crying.

Jia Zhu couldn't help feeling pity in her heart: "Sister Daiyu, don't cry, my aunt is in the spirit of heaven, and she must not see you so sad. You should take care of your body."

Jia Lian agreed: "That's right, sister Daiyu..."

The two comforted Daiyu.

Daiyu now knows what death is.

Death means that mother has gone far, far away, and she will never see her again.

These days, I wake up and cry, and my eyes are almost blind from crying.

She had to be given soothing soup, so that she could slow down and take a breath.

Lin Yong took Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to the guest house to rest.

Along the way, Jia Lian looked at the decorations in the Lin Mansion without any trace.

The funeral that the Lin family organized for the aunt was undoubtedly a big one.

Many people came.

From this, we can see the status of some uncles here. The Lin family does not have many children, but many people from the Lin family came to help.

The only serious mistress of the Lin family is the old lady, look at this unruly situation... Jia Lian couldn't help but click his tongue.

The old ancestor asked him to pay attention to the old lady's physical condition. He hasn't seen anyone yet, so he can see the leopard. The old lady is still very energetic.

Jia Lian was sizing up, and Jia Zhu was not idle, her face was a bit solemn. This time, they had a mission.
