An old lady's life

At this time, among the owners of Rongguo Mansion, Hongye went into the bedroom early in the morning, turned off the lights and went to bed, and the two grandsons naturally fell asleep early, so the two newly appointed wives were confiding in their confidantes.

Mrs. Zhang had enough rest during the day, so she didn't feel sleepy at night.Thinking of watching her son fall asleep just now, although her face was still a little pale, but her breathing was steady, it was obvious that her son was really sleeping well, stroking her already curved abdomen, the corners of her lips were raised, and the worry about the child before The mood relaxed a bit.

In fact, Zhang's pregnancy is so hard, it is really because she has been married to Jia She for three years, she has no pregnancy letter, and she found a lot of folk remedies, which ruined her body.Of course she herself would not think so, after all she married Jia She only gave birth to Jia Hu five or six years ago, she thought it was due to taking medicine.But she didn't want to think that the medicine was three-point poisonous, and those medicines really destroyed the balance of her body. Pregnancy is a huge burden for a woman.If it wasn't for Jia Hu's birth, she would have never been pregnant. After five or six years of raising her body, she finally recovered a little bit, but this pregnancy, she recovered again.

"Mommy, Hu'er hasn't been sick for seven days in a row about the matter of the old lady. It seems that these years of recuperation have paid off." Mrs. Zhang smiled lightly.

The people serving her in the room at the moment are Nanny Chen and maids Ruyun and Piaoxu. Ruyun is making the bed, and Piaoxu is tidying the closet. Nanny Chen is sitting next to Mrs. Zhang on a low stool, with her chat.

"The girl can relax now? The eldest brother is slowly recovering, and the second brother is about to be born. The girl's good days are yet to come." Chen Mama is in her 40s, and her hair and clothes are considered conservative. , but the face is not like a person in his 40s.

With a smile on the corner of Zhang's mouth, she talked about the child's interesting story, and when she mentioned Jia Amnesty, she was a little bit puzzled, "Nurse, where is the old lady... I always thought that the coffin would stop at the family temple and return to the ancestral house later."

Nanny Chen shook her head, "Girl, this old slave can't guess what the old lady is thinking. But the old lady's change is very good. Before, the old lady didn't care about the master, but now she treats the master and the second master equally."

Mrs. Zhang also couldn't figure it out, and Mother Chen said again: "Anyway, this old slave thinks that as long as the old lady can control the master and prevent the master from doing nothing like before, even if she prefers the second wife, it's no big deal."

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips thoughtfully, and said: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts." The voice was weak, and she turned around and said, "But why does the old lady let the master read the laws of Dafeng? Is it because she intends to let the master enter the law?" A job in the Ministry of Punishment? But the master only knows some arty things, he likes antiques, but he hasn't learned yet."

Nanny Chen thought to herself, she didn't know, even though she thought she was resourceful, but if she wasn't in the old lady's position, some things would be unexpected.She turned to comfort Mrs. Zhang, "Girl, don't think so much. It's sad. Now, the girl just needs to take good care of the pregnancy. After a hundred days, when the master returns, some things will always show up."

Saiin

In the main room, the candles were dancing enthusiastically, which caused the shadows of Wang Shi and the people around her reflected on the doors and windows to follow suit.

"Ewha, is there any news from Rongxi Hall?" I was very busy the past few days and had no time to think about it. Today, Mrs. Wang only rested for an hour, so she took the old lady's order as an arrow and started to manage it. The matter of Rongfu.

Mrs. Wang has been married into Jia's family for several years. Before she became pregnant, she pretended to be a quail in front of Mrs. Zhang. After giving birth to Jia Zhu, she felt that her waist was hard. eye drops or something.This year, Jia Daishan was often ill. After Zhang's pregnancy, most of the affairs in the mansion fell into Wang's hands, so she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Lihua is one of her dowry maids. After Wang gave birth to Jia Zhu, she kindly let Lihua marry. According to the rules after marriage, a woman does not have her own name. In the Rong Mansion, Lihua has always been called Zhou Rui's family, except for Wang. Shi would call her Pear Blossom in private.

A few months ago, taking advantage of the change of personnel in the mansion, the Wang family was in charge of the purchase right at that time, so they released people in both Rongxi Hall and East Courtyard.In the past few months, because of the well-informed, Wang has built up a lot of favorability in front of Jia Daishan and Jia's mother, which made Jia Daishan very satisfied with this second daughter-in-law. Although Jia's mother didn't say anything, her eyes can also make people feel Knowing that she is very satisfied with Wang's recent performance.

Lihua didn't know what Mrs. Wang wanted to know, she kept her heart on her mind, shook her head and said, "Ma'am, there is no special news from Rongxi Hall. It must be due to the fatigue of the past seven days. The old lady went to bed early. Liuli has never been able to pry open."

Wang Shi was walking around in the house, and the two big maids in the outer room were guarding the door, this was Wang's usual practice, when she was discussing matters with her confidants, the maids had to guard the door.

The Wang family has four dowry maids. Except for Lihua and another maid who married outside to take charge of her dowry Zhuangzi and other affairs, the other two maids have big hearts. and became a concubine in Jia Zheng's backyard, and now, those two have already folded in the backyard.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mrs. Wang couldn't think of a reason. How could she tell the servants clearly that she had expected the old lady's eccentricity and should keep Jia Zheng, but now her master went to Jinling with her? Wake up, and the weather is still cold in the twelfth lunar month, so I can't make it back for the New Year.

So, what made the old lady change her mind?Is it really because of the death of the old lady that the old lady is in a mess?

Mrs. Wang couldn't discuss this matter with Lihua, so she waved her hand and let Lihua go down. She asked her maid to wait for her to wash up, and then went to bed full of thoughts.

Hongye didn't know that she was annoying her two daughters-in-law. After the daily routine of merging with the buds, she went out of the space to really sleep. sea ​​of ​​flowers.

The next day, when Hongye woke up, it was not early, but the sky was not yet bright.She coughed in the room, and Fei Cui knocked on the door outside, "Old lady, are you awake?"

After getting Hongye's affirmative answer, Fei Cui pushed open the door of the inner room, and entered the room together with Liu Li who was carrying a basin.

Hongye has gotten used to being served by two maids these days, she sat up and looked towards the door, then Mrs Zhang and Mrs Wang came in together, what the hell is this?

The memory in her mind quickly told her that Hongye patted her head with a dark face. She forgot to tell her two daughters-in-law yesterday, so she doesn't have to come to greet her so early in the future.

Yaoshou, she still has to toss a big belly woman, she is afraid that something will happen to Mrs. Zhang!

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang didn't know what was going on with her mother-in-law today. They were in a bad mood early in the morning. They each went up to her mother-in-law with a little care to wash and dress up. Hongye waved her hands immediately: "You all go to the outhouse. Wait, as long as there are glass and jade here."

Zhang's and Wang's expressions suddenly changed, but the lights in the room were dim, and Hongye was so focused on fighting against her clothes and hair that she didn't see their expressions.

Tremblingly, the two left the inner room and went to the outer room, not daring to sit down, and stood there dryly.

When Hong Ye came out and saw the two of them like that, she was immediately annoyed and amused. This person really has persecution paranoia. It seems that the image of Jia's mother is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

It was already the right hour, breakfast was ready in the dining room next to the outhouse, Hong Ye took the usual seat first, and pointed to the seats on both sides.

"Everyone from the old family, everyone from the second family, sit down." She tilted her head towards Fei Cui, "Put the breakfast of the first wife and the second wife here."

Fei Cui was not surprised at all, she nodded in response and immediately walked out of the dining room, Liu Li stood behind Hong Ye, thinking that the old lady should call her when she needs someone to serve her.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang bowed to Hongye: "Thank you, old lady/grande." Then they sat down separately, there was no fear in the meeting between the two, and Hongye nodded in satisfaction. She is not a scourge, why should she be afraid of her?

Rongxi Hall is not very far from the big kitchen, and Fei Cui soon saw a group of four or five people getting closer and closer with lanterns. The people in the kitchen delivered it in person.The servants of the big kitchen are very good at judging the situation for such things as asking for credit.

Hongye didn't have breakfast first, she was waiting to be together, but when she saw Liuli giving money to the two nuns in the big kitchen, her eyelids rolled.

The rules in this mansion will be changed in the future.The master eats something, and the servants still need to give a reward for delivering it?And you have to pay a monthly salary every month!It's no wonder that under the circumstances that their wealth and life are involuntary, these servants in ancient times have a big appetite and are also very bold.

In the middle of the meal, Hongye suddenly said, "From now on, the old family's and the second's family's will not come to greet me in the morning. Breakfast and lunch are served separately in the courtyard. Unless there are guests at home, and unless there are special circumstances in the evening, the whole family eats together."

The old lady's sudden order made Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang a little at a loss, but they didn't dare to respond.Also, it seemed nice not to have to come to say hello in the morning and not have to get up early.

"After dawn, Hu'erzhu'er woke up. After breakfast, let the nanny bring her over, and I'll see you." Hongye pondered that this ancient life was indeed a little boring. Apart from planning to check the account books, she seemed to have nothing to do. There was nothing else to do, so she came up with the idea of ​​raising a grandson.And most of the things in the mansion, she had to wait for Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng to come back and let them do the work.

No matter what the Zhang family and the Wang family think, after breakfast, she sent the two of them back to their respective houses, and then Hongye asked Lai Jian to come to Rongxi Hall, and asked Lai Jian to go to Ningfu, first ask her the way, and see her go Is it convenient to visit Jia Daihua?
