[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

After Lin's mother fell ill, Jiazi has been serving Lin's mother's decoction, taking care of Lin's mother in front of and behind the bed, handling various affairs in Lin's mansion, entertaining the wives who came to visit the sick, and at the same time taking care of Lin's mother. He tried his best to maintain the relationship between the Lin family and the various families in Beijing.

Jiazi's busy appearance also caught the eyes of the wives in Beijing.Although everyone didn't say anything, they were envious of Mother Lin in their hearts, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful: If they had known that Jiazi was such a capable and filial girl, they would have invited a matchmaker to Ningguo Mansion to propose marriage , how can it be Lin Hai's turn!

Jiazi doesn't care about the thoughts of the wives at all. She has to take care of Lin's mother while also managing the household affairs. She has no mood, no time, and no interest in caring about other people's affairs.

In fact, when Jiazi and Lin Hai were just married, Lin's mother wanted to hand over the housekeeping power to Jiazi.However, Jiazi refused on the grounds that she was too young and inexperienced—she didn't want to give the impression of fighting for power and profit once she got married.

Although Jiazi is not like the girls in other families, she learned to be a housekeeper from the elders in the family at a young age.However, before she got married, Mrs. Xu still taught her how to manage the house, and her mother and grandmother also left her letters.Therefore, for the housekeeper, Jazi will still do it.

However, Jiazi knew one thing more clearly in his heart: when there is a mother-in-law, the right to housekeeper is really not a good thing.She has a good relationship with Mother Lin, so she naturally doesn't want to create a rift because of such a thing.

This time, if Lin's mother hadn't been seriously ill, Jiazi really wouldn't have taken over the job of housekeeper.However, even though Jiazi took over the housekeeping power, he did not follow his own ideas. Instead, he took care of everything in the Lin family according to Lin's mother's previous arrangements: not only did he not arrange his own staff, but he also did not take the opportunity to buy people's hearts. The entire Lin Mansion was tightly held in his hands.What's more, Jia Zi would tell Lin's mother when she was in good spirits if there were any big or small things in the mansion.

Jiazi's way of putting her first in everything also made Lin's mother feel very comfortable.After all, no matter how good the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is, Lin's mother doesn't want to see her daughter-in-law trying to seize her own power and her position while she is still there.

"Nurse An," Mother Lin leaned against the bed and called out to Nanny An: "Is there nothing going on in this mansion recently? I see that child, Azi, who always reports good news but not bad news. I'm afraid of her She is young and thin-skinned, and some things are hard for her to handle."

This time happened to be the time for Jiazi to deal with affairs.She could only hand Mother Lin over to Nanny An to take care of her first—although the Lin family has a simple population, they have a lot of things to do.Besides, even if Lin's mother is ill, some human relations between Beijing and China cannot be ignored.Therefore, Jazi has to set aside at least one hour every day to deal with these messy things.

Originally, at this time, Mother Lin should have taken medicine and fell asleep.However, Mother Lin woke up earlier today.Mother Lin also took the opportunity to ask Nanny An, when Jia Zi was managing the house, did she encounter the kind of servant who bullied her because she had been in the Lin family for many years? Although the rules of the Lin family are very strict, But Bao Buqi would take advantage of her illness to bully Jiazi when she was young and tender, and she was embarrassed to deal with many things, so she climbed on Jiazi's head.

"Old lady, please take care of your body with peace of mind." Nanny An helped Lin's mother adjust the cushion behind her, and said with a smile, "I think this lady handles things very neatly. With your back then How elegant!" Lin's mother was born in a scholarly family, and she followed her mother since she was a child, learning to be a housekeeper and director, and learning to socialize and socialize. Naturally, her methods are very comparable.Therefore, whether Mother An said this, no matter whether she was flattering Mother Lin or not, it was a very high evaluation for Jia Zi.

Lin's mother nodded: "Then I'm relieved. If you want to say that this Azi is someone who has seen the world after all, I can rest assured that the Lin family and Hai'er will be handed over to her."

Nanny An smiled and said, "So you, take good care of your body and wait for your wife and master to be filial to you." After saying that, Nanny An lowered her eyes and didn't tell Mother Lin that happened.

In a small courtyard in the backyard of Lin's mansion, there lived two women who disgusted Lin's mother very much: they were Lin's father's aunts before his death.Mother Lin naturally didn't like them very much, but she couldn't do anything about their existence—they were Father Lin's women after all, and even for Father Lin's sake, Mother Lin couldn't do anything to them.Moreover, they have always looked very well-behaved and sensible in front of Lin's mother, especially after Lin's father passed away, they have been peacefully nesting in their small courtyard, living a quiet and low-key life, never giving Lin's mother cause trouble.Mother Lin was out of sight and out of mind, and just pretended that they didn't exist anymore.

Even Jiazi, they only heard their names, but never met them.Therefore, when Jiazi met two women in their thirties who looked at him with a motherly attitude in the yard, he was indeed a little dazed.

The taller one looked Jiazi up and down, with a little scrutiny in his eyes: "You belong to Geer Hai's family? Well, you look okay."

"It's a little thinner." The plump one said with a smile, "Have you been married to Brother Hai for a few months? There are some things you should think about."

"Master," Qingfeng looked puzzled at the two women who suddenly stood in the way of their master and servant, lowered his voice and approached Jazi's ear, and said curiously: "Who are they? What? Why can't the slaves understand?"

Jia Zi raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Don't worry about it." After saying that, Jia Zi wanted to take Qing Feng away.She had already guessed the identities of the two women, but she didn't want to talk to them: Although they were left behind by Lin's father, in Jia Zi's eyes, they were two servants after all, so they couldn't be regarded as such. The serious master of the Lin family.

"Hey," the tall one folded his hands on his chest, "It's the daughter of a rich family after all! I thought I was on the battlefield, but let me tell you, this is the Lin Mansion."

"What did you say?" Qingfeng has always admired Jiazi the most, so when he heard someone dare to speak to Jiazi like that, Qingfeng quit immediately: these two crazy women who came out of nowhere What are you talking about to Jiazi?

A voluptuous maid next to the tall one pointed at Qingfeng with a Koudan-like finger: "You little hoof, do you know who you're talking to?"

"Then do you know who you're talking to?" Jiazi glanced coldly, the maid trembled involuntarily, and shrank directly behind her master: obviously, she was frightened.

"It's Geer Hai's family." The plump one, obviously the one who sang the red face, also tried his best to maintain a kind smile on his face: "I'm afraid you don't know who we are yet?"

Jia Zi looked indifferent: "I know. What's the matter with you?"

The two women were taken aback for a moment, apparently they did not expect Jiazi to answer the conversation like this, which made the series of words they had prepared in advance to show their identity and status useless.Then, they looked at each other again: that woman is dying, what are they afraid of—it doesn't matter if Jia Zi is a female general, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, so she has to abide by the rules of the Lin family.

"Yo, so you know who we are! I thought General Jia, whose eyes grew to the top of his head, wouldn't recognize us. Forget it, I don't have that time to waste with you. I don't think there is anyone around Hai Geer." Clever waiter," the tall one looked at Qing Feng contemptuously, and then pulled the enchanting girl behind him: "This girl has been with me since she was a child, she knows the cold and the hot, and she is smart and sensible. Just take it back and serve Hai Geer!"

The maid gave Jiazi a shy look, then lowered her head.However, her beaded hairpins, pursed mouth, and brand new clothes revealed her full of anticipation.

Qing Feng opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him. He never thought that these two crazy women who came out of nowhere would come up with such a plan.His lips moved, and Qing Feng immediately wanted to push back.However, Jia Zi grabs Qing Feng and stops her.

The man who is plump hastily said, "It's from Brother Hai's family, don't worry too much. My sister and I have watched Brother Hai grow up since we were young, and we have always regarded him as our son..."

"Do you regard Lin Ruhai as your own son?" Jiazi looked at the two beautiful singing and singing women in front of him with a smile, and softly uttered a sentence that almost made them vomit blood: "Are you... worthy?" Originally, Jiazi He thought that the two of them came to him because they wanted to take advantage of Lin's mother's illness, come out to show off their identities, and want to raise a little Yueyin, but they didn't expect that they would actually have Lin Ruhai's idea.

"You..." The two women turned pale with anger at Jiazi's words, and trembled all over, but they didn't know how to respond to these words: Jiazi was right, they were not worthy in the first place.

Jia Zi sighed softly: "I don't have that time to waste with you, so I just say something straight: put away your ghost thoughts, don't be shameless."

The tall one was so angry that Jiazi fell on his back, pointing at Jiazi angrily with Kodan's fingers: "You..."

"Old madam," the maid beside her quickly patted her chest to comfort her: "Don't be angry..."

"Old madam?" Jia Zi raised the corners of his mouth in disdain, and sneered, "Why didn't I know when such an old madam appeared in this mansion? Who sealed it?"

Jiazi's words made the girl kneel on the ground in fright: "Madam, madam, servant, servant..."

Kicking the maid away, Jiazi glanced at Father Lin's two aunts again, and said two words: "An eyesore." As he spoke, Jiazi looked at the plump one behind him who was also well-dressed. The maid glanced at her.

I saw that maid said something in a low voice behind the plump one, and the plump one reacted, and hurriedly wanted to see Mother Lin: "Where is the old lady, we are going to pay my respects to the old lady." Saying that, She secretly gave the tall one a hinting look, and walked directly to Mother Lin's yard.

"Yes," the tall one also reacted: "I'm going to ask the old lady how she trained her daughter-in-law so well..."

With a slight turn of his body, Jia Zi directly blocked their way, with obvious disdain and contempt in his eyes: "Who the hell is big or small? Don't forget, I am the wife of this mansion. And the two of you Well, it's just something the old man used to relieve boredom during his lifetime. Do you really regard yourself as your master?"

"Come here." Regardless of the appearance of the two women trembling with anger, Jia Zi directly called the servants nearby: "Please take these two back to your yard. Since they miss the old man, let's go." Let them copy scriptures for the old man in the yard. After a while, people will choose two thicker scriptures and let them copy them. Every month...well, three hundred times!"

Hearing this, Qingfeng couldn't help showing adoring eyes to Jiazi: Her master, it's different to do it, copying the scriptures must be thick, three hundred times a month, then their hands must not be broken! ?

Just when Qing Feng was happily calling out "Master is the best", Jia Zi directly pointed to the two maids beside the two women: "As for these two slaves, since they can't tell the difference Whoever is the master of this mansion doesn't need to stay in the mansion, just send it out!"

As soon as Jia Zi's words fell, the servants next to him quickly moved, some went to arrest the two aunts, some went to grab the two maids, and forcibly suppressed them, intending to take them down.

The tall one was naturally unwilling, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "You..."

"Hurry up." Jia Zi frowned slightly, and glared at the servant next to him: "I'm making a fuss, old lady, I can't stop talking to you guys."

With Jia Zi's hint, a woman stepped forward without thinking, and directly stuffed the handkerchief into the tall woman's mouth, so that she could no longer scream.Then, the two aunts were taken away directly.And the two maids gave it directly to the matchmaker.

Originally, Mother An was still hesitating whether to tell Mother Lin about this matter: it was not because she felt sorry for the two aunts, but because in her opinion, Jiazi's punishment for the two women was too light.However, she also understands that after all, they are the people left behind by Lord Hou. As Lin Hai's wife, Jia Zi is really difficult to deal with.

However, looking at Mother Lin's increasingly haggard appearance, Nanny An really couldn't open her mouth.Moreover, on the day when the incident happened, Jiazi issued a password-sealed order in the mansion to prevent the servants from talking about it, fearing that Lin’s mother would be angry if she found out—after all, even Jiazi knew that the two of them jumped up suddenly. The reason for coming out, not to mention Lin Mu is such a smart person.Once Mother Lin found out about this, she would definitely be angry.Reminiscent of Mother Lin's current physical condition...

Therefore, Nanny An finally gave up the idea of ​​telling Mother Lin about this matter, and secretly decided to find an opportunity to raise this matter with Lin Hai.But with Mother Lin, she could only find some interesting things to talk about, so as not to let Mother Lin worry about the affairs of the house.

"Mother!" While talking, Jia Zi also came back: "Why are you up?" Looking at Lin Mu who was leaning on the bed, Jia Zi hurried over, adjusted the cushion behind Jia Mu, and asked with a smile He asked, "Is the Earth Dragon warm? There is porridge warming on the stove, would you like some?"

In fact, this is not the time to burn the earth dragon.However, for the sake of Lin Mu's body, Jia Zi forced people to set fire to the earth dragon in Lin Mu's yard early on - even though she would be sweating all over from the heat every day serving Lin Mu here.

"Ma'am, you just came back just in time." Mother An greeted Jia Zi with a smile: "The old slave and the old lady are talking about you?" Jiazi sells it well, so that Lin's mother can have a guarantee if something happens.

"Oh?" Jiazi leaned on Lin's mother and said coquettishly: "Mother, I won't follow. You must have secretly spoken ill of me again." Jiazi ignored the two aunts left by Lin's mother, not because of his heart It's good or what, but she doesn't want to make things big, and she doesn't want to let the matter reach Lin's mother's ears, making Lin's already serious illness worse.

Mother Lin smiled and pinched Jazi's face.He looked at Jia Zi jokingly: "You little girl, is there something worth mentioning in secret? Could it be...doing something bad?"

"Not at all." Jiazi blinked his eyes, stayed beside Lin's mother, and said with a smile: "Mother knows, I won't do bad things!"

Jazi's appearance made several people in the room laugh happily.When Lin Hai came back, he happened to hear the hearty laughter of several people.

"Mother, Azi," Lin Hai looked at the few people in front of him with a puzzled expression, "What are you laughing at?"

Jia Zi looked at Lin Hai and asked with a smile, "Why are you back?" In fact, Jia Zi didn't tell Lin Hai about the incident two days ago: the Lin family has had enough things recently, and Jia Zi doesn't want to tell Lin Hai any more. Lin Haitian was troubled.

"Hai'er," Mother Lin also looked at Lin Hai gently: "Did you leave early again? How many times have I told you that my mother is fine, let you rest assured, why don't you listen?" Ever since Mother Lin fell ill, , although Jiazi is taking care of him, Lin Hai is very relieved.However, seeing Lin's mother haggard day by day, Lin Hai was still very anxious in his heart.Seeing this situation, Jia Jing directly undertook all of Lin Hai's work, and the colleagues of the Imperial Academy also took good care of Lin Hai.Therefore, if nothing happened, Lin Hai could go home directly.

Lin Hai smiled and held Mother Lin's hand: "Anyway, the Imperial Academy is fine, so you don't have to worry. Mother, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling better?"

Looking at the scene in front of her, An Momo wiped away her tears and retreated: It's better to give this family of three more time.

After all, Mother An is a person who has gone through a lot of wind and waves. She can naturally see that Lin's mother is in a particularly good spirit today; I really can't get past this.

Jiazi and Lin Hai accompany Mother Lin, one on the left and the other on the right, trying to make Mother Lin happy.Mother Lin was very happy being coaxed by Jiazi and Lin Hai, and the smile on her face never stopped.It wasn't until they saw Lin's mother fell asleep that Jia Zi and Lin Hai covered Lin's mother with a quilt, then quietly exited Lin's mother's bedroom and sat down at the table outside.

"Azi, how is mother today?" After a while, Lin Hai was already sweating from the heat in the room.It's just that, now, he can't care about himself anymore. He just wants to be by Mother Lin's side and take good care of his mother.

Jiazi stretched out his hand to hold Lin Hai's hand, and said softly, "I can't tell. However, I think my mother seems to be in good spirits today." Although Jiazi has never seen such a thing, he has heard of it a lot. Therefore, There was also a deep uneasiness in her heart.It's just that she can't directly explain this feeling to Lin Hai.

Hearing Jiazi's words, Lin Hai's heart tightened slightly, and he couldn't help squeezing Jiazi's hand: "Azi..."

"Don't think so much," Jia Zi comforted Lin Hai gently: "It's definitely fine. The porridge is warm in the kitchen. I'll ask someone to bring it up. You can eat some first." Due to Lin's mother's illness, Lin Hai has also I lost a lot of weight, which made Jia Zi very worried: don't let one get better, and the other will fall too...

Lin Hai shook his head gently: "I can't eat it."

"If you can't eat, you have to eat." Jiazi lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Could it be that this is the time, and you still want your mother to worry about you?"

Lin Hai looked at Jia Zi, and finally nodded.Jiazi hurriedly asked someone to bring the porridge.

Oil has been boiled on the thick and thick millet porridge, which makes people look appetizing.It's just that neither Jia Zi nor Lin Hai has the intention to taste it carefully. They just took two simple sips and couldn't drink it anymore.Even Jazi, who has always had a great appetite, didn't eat much.

The cold autumn rain began to fall, adding a bit of chill to the entire capital.However, the entire Lin family panicked because of Mother Lin's sudden coma.Jia Zi and Lin Hai have been guarding Lin Mu's bedside, and the maids are busy in and out of Jia Mu's yard. The doctor specially invited by Lin's family can't help but sigh in his heart: Lin Mu still can't make it through. passed.

In the end, it was the doctor who administered silver needles to Lin Mu's Baihui acupoint, which made Lin Mu wake up again.Jia Zi and Lin Hai hurriedly surrounded him.

"Azi..."

Jiazi hurried over and tried his best to keep his tone relaxed: "Mom, I'm here!"

"Azi," Mother Lin said out of breath, "I'll leave Hai'er to you. He's not sensible, so let him be a bit more, and don't be as knowledgeable as he is."

Jia Zi nodded lightly: "Mother, don't worry, I will take good care of Ru Hai." Jia Zi knew that this might be Lin's mother's last wish.Although sad in his heart, he still cheered up and promised Lin Mu with a serious face.

"Hai'er." Mother Lin took a breath, calmed down her breathing, and then gently aroused her son.

Lin Hai quickly squeezed Lin Mu's hand, and said sadly: "Mother, stop talking soon. You should have a good rest!"

"Hai'er," Mother Lin said, unable to hold her son's hand even with all her strength, "you have to treat Azi well, Azi is a good boy, don't let her down."

"Mother," Lin Hai nodded, "I promise you everything, get well soon. Son, son, I can't bear you. Don't leave my son..."

Panting for a while, Mother Lin put Lin Hai's hand and Jiazi's hand together with great effort: "Hai'er, Azi, you should live a good life, don't, don't let me leave uneasy."

Seeing Mother Lin close her eyes, Jia Zi hurriedly called the doctor in again.The doctor inspected it, finally shook his head at Jazi and sighed.

"Mother, mother..."

Seeing Lin Hai kneeling by the bed and constantly calling for Lin's mother, Jia Zi suddenly felt a little distressed: she had no mother since she was a child, and she finally had a mother, but they only got along for such a short time.Watching Lin's mother leave, Jiazi is so uncomfortable, let alone Lin Hai.

Without even thinking about it, Jia Zi hugged Lin Hai in his arms, patted Lin Hai's back lightly, bit his lips hard, took a deep breath, and told the butler next to him, Lin Fu, : "Hanging white, report the funeral."

The author has something to say: From now on, keep your filial piety...

Jiazi: All ghosts and snakes have come out
