[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

It was already late when we arrived outside the city, guessing that the gate of the city was closed, so Zhang Rui ordered to go to Jia's Zhuangzi outside the city to rest for one night before going back to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow.

The servants in charge of the Zhuangzi were a little surprised by the sudden visit of the master, but immediately put away their haste and quickly made preparations. In less than an hour, several of them had already taken a shower and had a freshly prepared dinner.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian couldn't keep their eyes open during the meal, and Jia Zhen also looked tired, so after eating, Zhang Rui hurriedly asked the children to go back to rest, "I don't need to get up early tomorrow, we will go back to the house after enough rest."

"Yes, grandmother."

On the second day in Rongguo Mansion, although the mother-in-law sent someone back yesterday to say that she would not arrive too early today, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang got together early and waited for her mother-in-law and the child to come back. They couldn't help looking at the door again and again. outside.

At three o'clock, the servants waiting at the gate of the city came back and reported that the old lady and her party had entered the city. Mrs. Zhang ordered her servants to prepare lunch, and then Mrs. Wang and her daughter went to the main gate to meet them.

Jia Amnesty was already waiting at the door, looking around, when the female relatives came over to salute him, he waved his hands and stared intently at the direction of the Jia family's convoy coming in.

Not long after, Jia Jing's wife, Mrs. Zheng, also rushed over, and stood with Mrs. Zhang's sister-in-law, chatted for a while, and kept looking at the end of the street.

After another quarter of an hour, they finally saw the carriages with Jia's family crest approaching one by one, and everyone's faces showed joy.

The carriage stopped nearby, Jia Zhen was the first to get off, then Jia Zhu and Jia Hu, and Zhang Rui was the last one to be helped down by Jia She, and she saw that Zhang was already holding Jia Lian and crying: "Lian'er, you scared my mother to death." It's gone!" While crying, he held his son's face and carefully looked at it, for fear that there was something wrong with him.

Jia Zhu was also held in her arms by her own mother to wipe her tears. Jia Zhen grew up, and Mrs. Zheng didn't hold her hands like the two sisters-in-law. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and saluted to her aunt, "My niece and daughter-in-law really don't know." What are you talking about, Zhen'er's admission to Tongsheng this time is all thanks to her aunt's teaching."

"Zhen'er is my grandnephew, of course I wish him well."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang also rushed to say hello to their mother-in-law. This mother-in-law didn't salute immediately after she came back, which was really impolite.

Zhang Rui didn't care either, there's no need to hold on to such innocuous matters, and after ordering to enter the mansion, he said to Mrs Zheng: "My nephew and daughter-in-law will bring Zhen'er to stay at the mansion for dinner. I just have something to tell you this afternoon. .”

"Okay." Mrs. Zheng agreed.

After dinner, let the children find their own mothers to go back and get close to each other. Anyone who has been kidnapped and trafficked has lingering fears. Mrs. Zhang stares at her son with good eyes, and Mrs. Wang is also afraid, thankful that her son is fine .

Jia Zhen couldn't wait and ran out to play early, Zhang Rui and Zheng Shi moved to sit in the garden, eating fruit and chatting.

"Has Zhen'er's marriage been settled?"

Mrs. Zheng didn't see any other expressions on her aunt's face, so she thought it was just a question, so she answered honestly: "My daughter-in-law went to a party a few days ago and saw the daughter of the household servant's family, and the master also said it was good, gentle and virtuous. Dali, just in time to urge Zhen'er to study~"

"As a mother, you can't even supervise, and you expect a little girl to supervise?" Zhang Rui didn't understand why Zheng had such an idea, didn't he understand what his son was like?

"Uh..." Mrs. Zheng was a little embarrassed, "My niece and daughter-in-law are thinking that the girl from a scholar's family is gentle and demure, and can help Zhen'er calm down."

Zhang Rui didn't trust these words, and asked directly: "How does the young lady look like?"

"Ah?" Mrs. Zheng was a little puzzled. Now that each family looks at their daughter-in-law, they look at their family background and their character. The mistress rarely likes someone who looks too enchanting, and feels out of order.

Zhang Rui still had something unclear, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, speechless, "Isn't it plain-looking?"

Mrs. Zheng quickly explained: "No, although Ms. Du is not beautiful, she is also graceful, dignified and generous."

"Oh." After listening to it, I knew that Jia Zhen was definitely not in love. If I married in, I could almost see the end from the beginning. Do you still expect Jia Zhen to create some inner beauty?

At this time, if Mrs. Zheng can't find anything wrong, then she is too short-sighted, and she has some doubts: "Does Auntie feel uncomfortable?"

"It stands to reason that my aunt in the next room has no right to care so much, but Zhen'er told me before that she likes pretty girls, and he won't be satisfied with the wife you choose from the beginning."

"But what does it matter if you are a poor mistress? The most important thing is to be able to take on the role of mistress. If Zhen'er really doesn't like it, it's a big deal to have a few girls he likes~"

Then why don't you give Jia Jingduo some beautiful concubines? !

Zhang Rui really wanted to say something to Mrs. Zheng like this, but when she realized that this was not her daughter-in-law, Jia Jing and Mrs. Zheng had a deep relationship, so she swallowed the words that were about to blurt out, and said with a blank expression: "Then why didn't you give Zhen'er the answer from the beginning?" Find someone he would like? Husband and wife are more motivated to work outside as a man.”

"Auntie said so." Mrs. Zheng agreed with this.

"Zhen'er is still young, so you can watch it slowly, and I won't hide it from you. Before I came back, the daughter-in-law of the second princess' family said that their family intended to recruit Jia Zhen as the county horse of Princess Anyang. I didn't respond directly. You go back and tell me Respect my nephew, if you are interested, I will send a greeting card to the princess mansion, and we must meet to see if it is suitable."

"Princess Anyang?!"

Seeing that she knew, Zhang Rui waved his hand casually and saw off the guests. Sure enough, she had a generation gap with women of this era, so she had nothing to say, but Jia Min was better, so obedient.

Zheng Shi was still in shock, she had met Princess Anyang, she was beautiful and generous, why did she feel a little unbelievable that such a person fell in love with her Zhen'er?

When Jia Jing came back from his post, Mrs. Zheng couldn't wait to tell him about it. Jia Jing was also a little surprised, "Why don't all the young talents in the capital look for them, but they like Zhen'er?"

Mrs. Zheng was a little dissatisfied after hearing her husband's words, "What's wrong with Zhen'er? Our Zhen'er is doing wonderfully. This time, we passed the Tongsheng Examination, and we will be able to take the examination of scholar and examinee in the future!"

Jia Jing didn't defend her either, whether Jia Zhen was the material or not. As a father, he knew clearly that this time he was lucky enough to be admitted to Tongsheng. .

"Tomorrow, I will pay a visit to my aunt after I leave my job. This is a good marriage, and it must be married."

Zheng Shi also knew that this was a good marriage, but she really had some resistance to having a noble daughter-in-law, but this resistance was nothing compared to her son's future.

On the other side, in Rongguo Mansion, after Mrs. Zheng left, Zhang Rui was lazily lying in the rocking chair, basking in the sun while keeping her eyes closed. The nun reported what happened during her absence in the mansion.

"During the period when the old lady was away, there were no major events in the mansion. The child in the old man's room had a serious illness last winter and almost passed away. He is not in good health until now. The doctor said that he is too weak."

"Aren't there any problems when you were born?"

"The third young master's nanny went home to visit relatives and got sick. When she came back, she was infected by the third young master. The third young master was too young to take medicine, so she could only raise her delicately, but she saw that her body was getting weaker and weaker."

The rocking chair shook, "Continue talking."

"Miss You handed over a letter during the Chinese New Year, saying that she was pregnant. The eldest lady and the second lady went to have a look with the congratulatory gifts. They said that you would come back to see me when you come back. The post will be delivered today."

Zhang Rui nodded, and said: "Her aunt should not lack anything, let people go and have a look."

"Yes." Sister Jing glanced at Pearl, who bowed and retreated, and then she continued: "The nurturing mother found that there was something wrong with Miss Po, and she found out that there were some bruises on her body, and the eldest lady found out that it was her My aunt pinched her, so I locked up her aunt temporarily, waiting for you to come back and deal with it."

"Is there something wrong with Jia?"

"It's just that I didn't learn the rules well. My aunt is anxious. The eldest lady is not good at forcing her to ask. But the servant girl heard that she may have restrained herself because of you in the mansion, but now she has a grumpy temper every time she looks in the mirror."

"how old are you?"

"Seven out of twenty."

After all, it didn't take long for Jia Daishan to die. Has he lost his energy after being a widow for so many years?

"Let her take it home, just say what I said, and allow her to remarry."

"Old madam?!" Nurse Jing was in a bit of a dilemma. After all, it was the concubine of the old Duke, and married again? !

"Let her 'die of illness', and nothing is allowed to be taken away." An aunt still has a deed of prostitution in the mansion, and she dares to do something to the young lady after living comfortably for a long time, so she should let her out magnanimously.

"Yes."

Generally speaking, nothing major happened in the mansion. Zhang Rui was quite satisfied with Zhang's butler, and his abilities were indeed good.

When Jia Zheng came back from duty, he went to the west courtyard first and accused her of not being able to welcome his mother into the mansion immediately. Zhang Rui naturally didn't care. In the evening, both families gathered in the west courtyard for dinner.

Except for Jia She's concubine who was in poor health and his concubine second daughter who was still in her infancy, all the children were brought here.

Zhang Rui looked at the three girls of the Jia family's grandchildren, Jia Yu and Jia Xuan were both chubby, and a skinny kitten was watching everyone in the nanny's arms without crying or fussing.

They are already eating other things now, but they are greedy when they have them. Jia Yu and Jia Xuan saw that the adults were eating and drool was left on the skirts, and anxiously kept pointing to the table and shouting "yes!"

Seeing that the nanny kept refusing to give it to them, Jia Xuan cried out first, and Jia Yu also started to cry, Zhang and Wang were a little embarrassed that the children were so ignorant, but Zhang Rui knew that this is what mothers are used to, children are smart Very, adults will satisfy them if they know how to do it.

"Hold it elsewhere and feed it, don't let the child get hungry."

After hearing what the old lady said, the nannies breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted, and then took the little masters to other places to feed.

Fearing that her mother-in-law would be dissatisfied with her, Mrs. Zhang quickly pretended to give her a sigh of relief and said, "My daughter-in-law doesn't feel it when you are around, but she doesn't realize how difficult it is until you are raised outside by her daughter-in-law. Hu'er Lian'er is so sensible. You will educate."

Afraid of losing the wind, Wang also praised her mother-in-law, "Sister Min is the best girl, and it all depends on your upbringing. Now you are back, and after a few days you have a rest, my daughter-in-law will send Xuan'er to you." What do you think of the west courtyard?"

Mrs. Zhang also has this plan, she doesn't want a concubine to snatch her daughter's favor from her mother-in-law.

"You can do whatever you want." Zhang Rui didn't care.
