When Grandma Liu became Mother Jia

For Grandma Liu, cooking for her children and grandchildren is what she should do.It's just that from outsiders' perspective, the old lady of Jia's mansion is really kind and caring, a hundred times better than ordinary old ladies.After all, the old lady in a wealthy family is not as close to the people as the old lady. Even if she cares about her children, she will not cook with her own hands.

Grandma Liu didn't expect to win the hearts of the people because of her unintentional actions.

After cooking that time, Grandma Liu has found a new thing to do, which is to learn cooking skills from the chefs of the Lin family. Don't look at Grandma Liu who is more than a hundred years old in her two lifetimes, but the old saying goes, old Little ones, when they were young, they had no time to learn these things for the sake of their livelihood and their children. It would be good to have food. How could it be the same as Jia's, eating an eggplant and killing a few chickens to accompany it.Now, I don't have to worry about my children and grandchildren, and I have a lot of free time, so I just happen to learn some skills from my master.

Seeing that Mrs. Jia wanted to learn, the chef of the Lin Mansion was very attentive and thoughtful, and he didn't pay attention to any skills and didn't pass them on to the outside world, he just explained everything thoroughly.Grandma Liu was interested in learning, and the cook in Lin's family was interested in trying to impress Mrs. Jia, one learned and the other taught, and they got along pretty well.Mrs. Jia has learned how to cook, so Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing naturally dare not be idle, and follow behind to serve. Even if they don't touch the pan, the oily smoke in the room is enough for people.The two wives are used to being pampered, how can they bear such a strong smell, they feel greasy from head to toe, they feel disheartened every day, but they still have to force their smiles, they hate it in their hearts.

Grandma Liu didn't care what the two wives were like, she was very interested. She learned a few new dishes every day and sent them to Jia Amnesty and Lin Ruhai. , The two of them still gained a lot of weight.

Today, Grandma Liu learned about mung bean cake, she was really happy, but Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing couldn't stand it anymore. The two sisters-in-law had a rare discussion and advised the old lady to return to the capital as soon as possible.

He has been staying in the Lin Mansion for more than a month, and if he doesn't go back again, it's still uncertain what the capital will look like.

The two came here with a lot of money. Seeing Grandma Liu sitting on the couch, talking and laughing with Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Xing didn't feel much about having no children, but Mrs. Wang couldn't do it. , really biased, but anyone who has anything to do with Jia Min is confused.It's been so long, what is it to stay at the son-in-law's house and not leave.

Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied with all kinds of dissatisfaction. She only felt that with Lin Daiyu, Jia's mother had forgotten Baoyu.Mrs. Wang guessed right, Grandma Liu really forgot about Baoyu, Grandma Liu is not Jia's mother, she treats Jia Baoyu as a heartache, in her heart, all children and grandchildren are the same, Jia Baoyu is not outstanding enough to let her Always remember.

The two ladies saluted, first praised Lin Daiyu, and then Mrs. Wang said, "Old lady, we have stayed in Yangzhou for a long time. Mrs. Lin is busy with affairs, so it's not good for us to bother you all the time. Why don't we go back first and wait until later?" Come back when you have time.”

"What the second wife said is, old madam, in my opinion, with Uncle Lin's ability, he can be transferred back to the capital in the future, and it will be easy to see him at that time." Mrs. Xing followed Mrs. Wang's words.

Grandma Liu was taken aback when she heard this, she stayed comfortably in the Lin Mansion, she really didn't think of leaving, she was used to living with her son-in-law and daughter in her previous life.

In fact, Grandma Liu didn't really want to go back to the capital, but she knew that she couldn't do it if she didn't go back, and she was a little disconcerted.

"Grandmother, don't you want Yu'er anymore?" Grandma Liu hadn't answered yet, but Lin Daiyu's eyes were already clouded with tears, she raised her small face and looked at Grandma Liu with a full face of dependence.

These days, when Grandma Liu treated Lin Daiyu, it was really painful. The servants of Lin's mansion saw it and felt that even when the wife was there, she didn't treat the girl so painfully, and she was considerate in everything.

For all these things, Lin Daiyu was very close to Grandma Liu. In her heart, her grandmother was as important as her father.

Seeing Lin Daiyu like this, Grandma Liu also felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly coaxed, "Yu'er, good Yuer, how can grandma not want you. Grandma doesn't want anything, and she can't do without Yuer." Grandma Liu was anxious, but she called herself grandma Yes, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were taken aback for a while, although they were a little uncomfortable, but their identities were correct, it's just that the word "grandma" is not often used by wealthy families.

Grandma Liu was coaxed for a while, and finally she swears and swears, so she coaxes Lin Daiyu into a smile. When Madam Wang met Madam Xing, her complexion changed. I really didn't expect that Mother Jia loved Lin Daiyu so much. Granddaughter, if this is a granddaughter, then it's okay.

Now that Grandma Liu has the memories of Mother Jia, she acts bolder and is not afraid of anything. Daxia values ​​filial piety the most.

In the evening, when Lin Ruhai went down to the yamen, Grandma Liu had someone call Lin Ruhai over. Jia Amnesty had dinner with Jia Mu, and now she sat and did not leave, chatting and laughing with Grandma Liu. In Jia Mu's memory, there was also Many of Jia She's appearances when he was a child, Jia's mother thought Jia She was worthless, but Grandma Liu thought it was fun and interesting.

Jia She has been mischievous since he was a child. When he was five years old, he climbed a tree but dared not come down.I was so sad crying on the tree.Mother Jia felt that it was useless for Jia She to be mischievous, but Grandma Liu felt that she was kind. Her son and grandson grew up climbing trees when they were young.

When Jia She heard that Jia's mother still remembered things about him when he was a child, his hands trembled with excitement. Unexpectedly, his mother cared about him since he was a child. See, he remembers such a small thing.

Well, I heard from brother-in-law Lin that the elders always valued the eldest son, and they were strict with him. Mother must have valued him so severely at the beginning, and she was not sure why she loved him. She only blamed herself for being incompetent, and she was ashamed of how much she valued her. Now Still nothing.

Grandma Liu didn't know that in such a short time, Jia She's mind had turned in a circle.

Lin Ruhai came in from the outside, and seeing Grandma Liu talking to Jia Amnesty with a kind face, her face was kind and soft, and she felt a touch of warmth lingering in her heart. "Old lady is well." Lin Ruhai saluted.Grandma Liu waved her hands and said with a smile, "You are a child with a lot of etiquette. There is no need for my family to talk about these immodest etiquettes. Come and sit down quickly. I happen to have something to tell you."

Lin Ruhai smiled and sat beside Jia Mu.

"Ruhai, I've been here for quite a few days, and it's time to leave, but I can't worry about you. You are a good person, you are good everywhere, but you are too thoughtful and don't know how to take care of yourself. I call you Here, I am telling you that you have to take good care of yourself. The old doctor said that the humid climate in the south of the Yangtze River is not good for Yu'er's health. I think I should take it to the capital to take good care of her, so that I can talk about marriage in the future. Don't even think about Baoyu's child. You only have Yu'er as a daughter, and this son-in-law must be carefully selected."

Grandma Liu was really worried about this foolish son-in-law, so she couldn't help nagging a few more words. Jia She listened and said in a daze, "Old lady, since you like niece Lin so much, it's not a good idea to ration Baoyu."

Grandma Liu patted Jia She's hand hard, and said in a bad mood, "You don't know Baoyu's temperament. People say that when she was three years old and saw her old age, Baoyu grabbed Rouge when she was scratching Zhou. Maid, she cries when she sees an ugly mother-in-law. For a character like Yu'er, what kind of husband and son-in-law can't be found."

Jia Amnesty was beaten by Jia's mother, and smiled sarcastically, but he didn't care. He was just curious. Mother is not the one who loves Baoyu the most. Looking at it now, why doesn't she like Baoyu's appearance very much.

When Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion for the second time, Baoyu was old enough to discuss marriage, and she was still childish. All day long, her sister and sister neither read nor did anything.

Don't look at Baoyu's older sisters and younger sisters all day long, that's also nice to hear, if the second wife is too dissatisfied and wants to dispose of someone, Baoyu will not dare to argue with the second wife.

Speaking of which, Baoyu's appearance and temperament would be fine if she was a girl, but she is a boy.In their village, all the seven or eight-year-old children know how to go to the fields to help. The widow Liu's family is very poor. In order to learn how to read, the youngest son hides under the wall to listen, and the wind and rain never stop.That Baoyu can't even compare with a child. People say that from the small to the big, Baoyu's child can't do it.

Lin Ruhai frowned when she saw that Grandma Liu always said that there were many Jia's houses. Could it be that there was something bad about it.It seems that he needs to check it out.

"Old lady, don't worry, if Ruhai figured it out, she will naturally protect Yu'er for the rest of her life."

"This is what it should be. It's not that you figured it out, it's that you thought about it before. There is no such thing as a father in this world." Grandma Liu complained again.

When Jia She saw that Lin Ruhai was also told by Grandma Liu, Jia She couldn't help gloating. "Old lady, when shall we leave?" The departure of ships, carriages and luggage needs time to be arranged.

"Well, I've made up my mind. Since we've come to the south, we have to go to Jinling to worship our ancestors and go back to the old house to have a look. I haven't been back for so many years. I'm afraid the next time I come back, you will have to carry the coffin back." Grandma Liu smiled.

"The old lady will live a long life." Jia She hastened to say, and forced Grandma Liu to pooh a few times.Grandma Liu was happy and mourned in her previous life, but she was not afraid of life and death. On the contrary, she found Jia She's filial appearance amusing. If Jia She was as old as Lin Daiyu, she would hold her in her arms and cherish her for a while.

Grandma Liu decided to go to Jinling, the distance is short, and there is no need for a boat, just a horse-drawn carriage.Early the next morning, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian went to arrange carriages and horses. After Mrs. Xing knew about it, she went back to the house to pack her luggage, but Mrs. Wang was taken aback by this, her heart thumped, and she went back to the house full of worries.

This time I went to Yangzhou to keep everything simple and did not bring many maids. Mrs. Wang's confidantes arranged to take care of Rongguo Mansion in the capital and take care of Baoyu.Even if Zhou Rui's family came, Yangzhou was so close to Jinling, it might be too late.

Jinling, the ancestral home, and the fields for offering sacrifices.

Mrs. Wang tried her best to restrain her panic, fingering the Buddhist beads on her wrist, praying in her heart, and Jia Mu would be able to return to the capital after offering sacrifices to her ancestors.
