When Grandma Liu became Mother Jia

On this day, Grandma Liu got up as usual, after washing, she took the girl Amber to look at the vegetable field, then fed the chickens and ducks, walked around, went back to the house for breakfast, and then the two daughters-in-law, grandson-in-law, granddaughter The grandson came over to say hello and talk for a while, and then they were busy with their own business. No, Grandma Liu was preparing to make salted duck eggs. A maid came in from the other end and said that Princess Nan'an and Princess Dongping came together. Grandma Liu listened Now, I hurriedly called someone to call the eldest wife, second wife and others over, and asked someone to explain to the female gentleman, and asked a few girls to follow and go to the gate to greet her.

In my memory, Mrs. Jia used to be rich and powerful, and she used to get along with each other in the past, but when she got older, she became tired and lazy, and rarely went out by herself, leaving all human relations to her daughter-in-law, and she lived in seclusion and taught at home. children and grandchildren.Even the banquets held in the mansion often invite people who are related to the Rongguo mansion, and the relationship with the old sisters in the past is really far away.

Firstly, at the beginning, Mother Jia was unfair in dealing with things, and several families with human relations tried to persuade the old lady, which made the old lady unhappy. Second, the old lady didn't like to bow down to those with high status. No, that's the case, it's better not to have any contact, she is not too young, she can turn down all kinds of banquets with any excuse, and she can still have a virtuous reputation outside.

It's just that Grandma Liu doesn't agree with the old lady's rules of dealing with things. This person is alive, either because you help me and I help you, talk and talk to each other, or go out more for the sake of a few granddaughters. Tanchun and Yingchun are both concubine daughters, and it is unrealistic to expect the two wives to treat them as daughters-in-law. Xichun is a daughter-in-law, but the child's mother died early, and the sister-in-law is not a good one. She is an old lady.

Grandma Liu was standing at the main entrance with her master, and saw the crimson-purple sedan chair slowly approaching. The old lady did not need to kneel there for Chaopin's order, she just bowed slightly, Princess Dongping had already helped her up I got up and said with a smile, "The old lady still doesn't break my life, get up quickly." The Nan'an concubine smiled and said, "The old sister is still so polite, let's go, we haven't seen each other for a long time. See you, let's talk about it."

Grandma Liu nodded and smiled, and with the help of Wang Xifeng, she walked into the main hall behind Princess Nan'an.

These four kings and eight princes, the four kings are the king of Nan'an County, the king of Beijing County, the king of Xining County, and the king of Dongping County. They are all kings with different surnames. , not allowed to return to Beijing all year round.Bagong refers to the Duke of Zhen, the Duke of Li, the Duke of Qi, the Duke of Zhi, the Duke of Shan, the Duke of Ning, the Duke of Rong, and the Duke of Xiu. Among them, the Duke of Rong and the Duke of Ning are brothers. , can be regarded as the head of the Eight Dukes, and has a good relationship with the Four Kings.Now that the four kings and eight princes have gone to a lot of people in their old lives, the descendants are not as close as before, even the princes who supported them at the beginning are different. Therefore, among the four kings, King Beijing stands out, and the four kings and eight princes control military power. The military power was gradually divided, newcomers replaced old ones, but they controlled almost the whole country's military force back then, even though the descendants were not good, there were still some people who were grateful for the kindness of the four kings and eight princes back then, and they are still loyal to this day.Otherwise, Wang Ziteng would not have thought of marrying Jia's mansion. Apart from being well-matched, there are also veterans from Rongguo mansion.

After everyone was seated, Princess Nan'an said with emotion, "I haven't been back to Beijing for many years, but the Fengshui and people in the capital are good. The tide in the south is very high, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants, and the people's feelings are very different. How can our girls here be reserved and ladylike?" .”

Grandma Liu has never been out of the capital in her life. Even when she went south to find Qiao, her son-in-law brought someone to look for her. Now, hearing Nan'an Taifei talk about the local customs and customs, she also finds it very rare.

Seeing that Grandma Liu and the others were fascinated, she picked up a lot of interesting things and told them, such as the dialect, clothing, weddings and weddings there.Even if the second wife is in a bad mood at the moment, she also finds it very interesting to hear it.

The second wife is also a smart person. When she saw Concubine Nan'an and Princess Dongping coming, she specially brought Baoyu here. Now Baoyu was a little crazy, and praised, "If you can go to such a place in this life, It would be nice to sing and dance around the fire with my sisters." As he said this, his eyes were full of longing.

Seeing Baoyu, the second wife smiled and said, "My child, there are many rats and ants in that place, and it is very hot. How can it be as comfortable as ours?" , Nowhere can compare to the capital, but here is the land of dragon veins, the closest place to dragon spirit.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and it was lunch time in a short while. Seeing the same four dishes on the table, Grand Concubine Nan'an smiled and said, "My old sister has really changed a lot." In the past, Mrs. Jia was the most face-saving, especially in the In front of these old sisters, they were extravagant, wishing everyone knew that Jia's mansion was unparalleled in wealth, how could it be so simple and simple.

Grandma Liu said indifferently, "Eat it, although the method is simpler, but it tastes good, and you are used to it. It will make you appetizing if you eat some of these." Grandma Liu took the lead in eating two bowls of rice. Princess Nan'an and Princess Dongping Looking at each other, this old Mrs. Jia has really changed a lot, and she can't see the shadow of the past. If she didn't see that her appearance has not changed, she really thought it was a fake.

After finishing her meal and drinking tea, Grand Concubine Nan'an said slowly, "Old sister, I heard that something big happened in Rongguo Mansion right after I came back. It seems that the two mansions have separated. What's going on?"

Without waiting for Grandma Liu to answer, she said again, "For people like us, if there is any trouble, you may not be able to tell what it will be like. You don't plan for such a big event. Let's talk about it. I don't know people outside, so I thought The eldest house is bullying the second room, and wants to sweep the second room out, poor Baoyu, such a filial child, what a good child, alas."

Grandma Liu frowned. This big family is troublesome. Separate families can cause a lot of troubles.

"The concubine doesn't know. My eldest son is a fool. Although he doesn't have much ability, he is the most filial. I wronged him before, but now I don't want to treat him any more. As for Baoyu, I like him from the bottom of my heart. , It’s just a man, he can’t be raised by my old woman’s side, it’s better to be raised by his parents. I’m old, and it’s too late for me to fool myself, so I can’t take care of Baoyu.” Grandma Liu said with a smile.She also has some understanding of the purpose of Princess Nan'an and Princess Dongping's visit. She didn't dare to be too stiff, so she could only pretend to be stupid, but she also felt very tired in her heart. Why is the second child's family like this? It's a lot of trouble, and I didn't treat them badly. I really took a fancy to the location of Rongguo Mansion. It's just that the rules left by the ancestors, who is to blame.

Concubine Nan'an was not happy seeing Grandma Liu like this. She and Princess Dongping had indeed taken the order to warn the old lady. She thought that the two of them would have to make the old lady back down a few steps no matter what. This person seemed to be determined, he insisted on protecting the first wife, at first so many people advised him not to be too partial to the second wife, but he didn't listen, and changed his mind when he was getting old.Isn't this tormenting people? The strangest thing is that the superiors asked them to persuade them, and they don't know why.

Could it be that there is really something left behind in Jia's mansion? If so, the key lies in the second room, but if it is really in the second room, the second room will not be like this after all these years.Thinking about it, the second master is also useless. He didn’t talk about making good use of the resources with such good conditions a few years ago, and raised a seat for himself. Tell me, after all these years, he is still a small servant of the Ministry of Industry , This matter is given to no one and I will not let myself be mixed up like this.

Concubine Nan'an looked down on Jia Zheng in her heart, but she had to favor the second wife, and she felt uncomfortable. More importantly, after persuading her for so long, the old lady still kept her mouth shut. Being so stubborn, thinking about it as soon as you think about it, and not listening to persuasion at all, it's really tiring to get along with.

Seeing that Concubine Nan'an was silent, Grandma Liu said cheerfully, "The grandson here has his own sons and grandchildren, and I look at King Dongping very well. Back then, his father separated his family early, and now the four brothers are as good as one person. , I regret that I didn't separate sooner, but it's not too late now."

At that time, the old King Dongping gave birth to four sons and two daughters, four of them were born in the same family. As soon as the four became adults, the old King Dongping married the four sons and separated the family. good.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Jia really had a few good friends before, who were also reasonable in doing things. The old lady gradually drifted away from them, and instead got closer to some messy people, doing things as she wanted, without considering friendship at all.Grandma Liu disagrees. As long as this person is alive, he will not be able to live alone. He has to ask for help and help others. This person can only get along well if you let me and I let you get along well. what.Mrs. Jia's spirit is too high, but she can't see whether people are good or bad.

In the end, under Grandma Liu's pretending to be stupid, Concubine Nan'an and Princess Dongping had no choice but to leave. The man packed up and moved out of the Rongguo Mansion in a fit of anger, thinking that he had his natal family and backing, so he was afraid of the old lady, and the old lady would suffer when the dust settled in the future.

The second wife moved out of Rongguo Mansion, which is on the road that intersects Rongning Street. Although the courtyard with three entrances and three exits is not as good as Rongguo Mansion, it is not small in a land like the capital, and the family lives in peace. , must be very comfortable.

Strange to say, as soon as the second wife moved out of Rongguo Mansion, the second master, Jia Zheng, was promoted to be the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry.
