An old lady's life

Chapter 33 Jia Pardons Jia Zheng

Because Jia Siyao returned to her natal family suddenly, Hongye and Zhang's Wang's letter to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had not yet been prepared, so they ordered Zhang's and Wang's to go back to write letters, and send a servant to deliver the letter the next day.

No, there was goose-feather heavy snow falling in the sky at night, but Hongye didn't notice it. When she got up the next day, Hongye lifted the curtain of the bed and felt a gust of cold air blowing in.

Hongye opened the window, and the yard was completely white, and a gust of cold wind blew in immediately.

The servant girl heard the noise in the house, knocked on the door, asked some questions, and after getting a positive answer, pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing Hongye standing under the window, Liuli was shocked: "Old lady, be careful of catching a cold." After saying that, she helped Hongye to the vanity mirror, and Feicui closed the window smoothly.

Hongye glanced at the two maids reproachfully, "What a fuss, old lady, I'm in good health."

Fei Cui pursed her lips and smiled: "The old lady is in good health, it's our servant girl who made a big fuss."

Hongye is quite satisfied with these two close maids. They are even more caring than the assistants of the president later on. Seeing that these two maids are seventeen or eighteen years old, although maids usually marry around twenty, but After the flowering period is not good, it seems that the marriage of the two maids should also be put on the agenda.

Taking advantage of Liuli and Jade to serve her, Hongye looked at the two servant girls again. They were neat and pretty. Now the Rong Mansion is still the same as the Rong Mansion in the Red Mansion later. It's not that hard, Mother Jia used to be charitable and always treated those around her preferentially.

"You two girls, what do you think of your marriage?" Such a good girl, Hongye also didn't want them to be slaves and handmaids all the time. The Erlang selected there is matched with colored glaze and jadeite.

Liuli was startled by the hand holding the veil, and looked at the old lady with a little panic in her eyes, "Old lady, this servant just wants to serve the old lady all the time."

Fei Cui hurriedly continued to comb the old lady's hair, her voice was softer, "I don't want to marry, I want to serve the old lady all the time." A married woman has such a hard life, why not marry?

Hongye took a fancy to the blurred figure in the mirror, "If you really don't want to marry, the old lady won't force you. But you can start thinking about it now, you two have served me for two years, and you are the same age as Hua. My wife doesn't want to delay you either. Besides, you are well-groomed, and your talents and abilities are not inferior to girls from small families. I really want to let you marry outside. Be a matchmaker. Maybe after many years, you will also be obediently obedient."

The pancakes painted by the old lady are very deceptive. Liuli and Feicui are just two 17-year-old maids, and their faces turn red.

Hongye smiled again: "Think about it yourself, but don't tell others." This kind of recognition of relatives in ancient times seems to be such a thing, not to mention that Liuli and Feicui kowtowed to the godmother and served tea. Half of the monthly salary is given to the godmother, and the rest belongs to them.

Seeing the two maids nodding repeatedly in the mirror, Hongye smiled.

After breakfast, Hongye began to prepare to reply to the letter. She dictated and Liuli wrote for her.The content of the letter first praised the two sons for their filial piety, and then made demands.

Hit a stick to give a sweet date, which is common in ancient and modern times.

Since Jia She said he wanted to read more stories, telling her when he came back was naturally a compliment, and it was better than letting him run amok outside.She was afraid that Jia Amnesty would be enthusiastic for 3 minutes, if that was the case, Lin Ye would not be able to suppress him.

Jia Zheng, in a cautious tone, asked her if she had given the wrong book. This non-positive answer made her communicate with people in the old house, whether it was a scholar, a scholar, or a student in a school.There is a saying that three people must have my teacher, Jia Zheng should not be ashamed to ask!

As soon as her letter was written, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang arrived with Jia Hu and Jia Zhu respectively. They each took the letter in their hands, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang looked at the red leaves eagerly.

Hongye nodded, and ordered Liuli to pack the envelope together, and Jia Hu wrote a letter to his father, and his mother taught him to write letters that he didn't know.

As for Jia Zhu, Mrs. Wang never thought of asking him to write, and he himself didn't understand anything, but when Hongye thought of the letter from last time, she couldn't help but feel a little bit of evil in her heart, so she asked Jia Zhu to press a few black handprints. Put together in an envelope.

Naturally, the boy who sent the letter was still the boy, but thinking about the bad weather, I was afraid that the waterway would be difficult, so he could only take the land route, which would take longer, so there might be something wrong with the boy, Hongye asked Lai Jian to send two more Personally, the three of them take care of each other.

Let’s talk about the ancestral residence of Rongfu in Jinling. It’s snowing in the capital, so it’s also snowing in Jinling.There is no kang burning in this area of ​​the south of the Yangtze River, only braziers are lit. There are already eight braziers lit in the corners of the house, but it will not cool the two masters.

The illnesses of the two have been cured, but this tossing is actually a result of physical exercise. They were caught off guard last night, it snowed heavily, and the two brothers did not catch a cold.

When they were not sick, the brothers copied the filial piety scriptures fifteen times in one morning, and they continued to study for a month. Jia Amnesty admired himself.

Now he was biting his brush, looking at his serious brother who was still reading a book, and thinking in his heart, the second child really knows how to pretend, he must not be able to bear it anymore, but he just didn't want to show timidity in front of him.

During this time in Jinling, in addition to being filial to their father, it was impossible for the two brothers not to go out.

No, someone is already shouting at the gate: "Master, you can't refuse today, can you? Let's go to enjoy the plum blossoms, and the early plum blossoms in the Foshan temple will bloom."

Jia She immediately smiled, stood up and was about to go out, but his two servants, Xiong Mingda and Ba Yuanhua, knelt down and hugged his legs to prevent him from leaving.

"Master, although your filial piety scripture has been copied today, the story you promised to tell the old lady has not been settled yet, so you must not go out, otherwise others will gossip."

"Master, if you go out, the old lady will blame us when you return to the capital, please be merciful to me."

Jia She's face turned red immediately, "Nonsense, the second child can still discuss knowledge with Mr. Xueli, why can't I go out and enjoy plum blossoms with tourists?"

Jia Zheng, who was not concerned with himself, glanced at the elder brother quietly, "If the elder brother is envious, why don't you go to the school with me to discuss knowledge with the gentlemen later?"

Jia Zheng has been very upset recently. He thought that his knowledge could beat the masters of the ethnology school, but he didn't want him to be stupid and lost in the debate to a student who was only fifteen years old.

Lin Ye, the housekeeper at the gate, couldn't make his own way to dismiss the guests. He invited the guests into the house, and he went in to report to the elder master and the second master.

So when Lin Ye came in, he saw the old man's two young servants hugging the old man's thigh and refused to let him go. Lin Ye gave the two young men a wink, and the young man let go of Jia She's leg.

Lin Ye respectfully said: "Master, Master Ao, I have already invited you into the house, please trouble Master to entertain the guests."

Jia Amnesty glanced at Lin Ye, hesitantly did not move, Lin Ye said again: "The old slave thinks that it won't be a few days, the letter from the old lady, the eldest wife, the second wife, the eldest master and the second young master should arrive, the last time I replied to the master, it was a boast. ..."

Jia She stopped immediately, thinking that his mother looked at him the same way as before, and turned her attention to the second child, Jia She felt uncomfortable, and he walked out of the study with a sullen face.

Lin Ye followed behind him, thinking that he could be sure of the elder's lifeblood, as long as the old lady was mentioned, the elder would be obedient.

The guests in the house are also members of the Jia family, named Jia Ao, the elder brother of Jia She and Jia Zheng, who is two years older than Jia She. He is rich and powerful, but he does not have to worry about food and clothing. Jinling prefect and county magistrate and other high-ranking and small officials are very polite to him.

Jia Shen and Jia Zheng went back to Jinling to observe filial piety for his father for a hundred days. Jia's family members had heard about Jia She's previous virtues. Jia Ao just wanted to find a money bag during this time. Unfortunately, no matter how he asked Jia She to go out, Jia She would not Ken, Jia Ao muttered, Jia Amnesty is not what the rumors say.

Jia Amnesty wiped his face and went into the hall, "Cousin Ao, I'm sorry, my brother is keeping his filial piety, it's better not to participate in the lively activities, lest I be taught by my father in my dream late at night."

Jia Ao suddenly became excited, Uncle Seven?Cough cough, this is a dead person, what if he brings Jia She back to life and finds him?Jia Ao hurriedly shouted: "No, it's my brother who didn't think carefully."

With a reserved smile on his face, Jia Amnesty accompanied Jia Ao for a conversation, but Jia Ao couldn't stay still by himself, so he left quickly.Walking out of Rong Mansion, Jia Ao looked back and saw Jia She was looking at him at the gate, Jia Ao turned back and patted his chest, why did cousin She look at him like that?The bottom of the foot is deep and the bottom is shallow, and he walks fast even when stepping on the snow.

Lin Ye sniggered behind Jia She, and Jia She went back to the study depressingly to continue reading, but recently he couldn't bear to read any more. After lunch, Jia She really had the cheek to follow Jia Zheng to study ethnology.

Jia Zheng's face twitched. In the past, he felt that he was crushing his elder brother on the way to study, and he felt a strong sense of pride in his heart. If his elder brother saw that he couldn't even win an argument with a yellow-mouthed child, what about his dignity?

Jia Amnesty walked a few steps, saw that his second brother hadn't followed, and turned his head to say hello, "Let's go, second brother, what are you dawdling about?"

Jia Zheng gritted his teeth, and walked out while hesitating.Stretching the head is a knife and shrinking the head is also a knife, why not hurry up!

The four servants followed closely behind. The old lady had specially instructed them to leave the capital, and seeing that the housekeeper was very considerate, the servants did not dare to be as lazy as before.
