Amnesty's daily life

"Ahem, it's actually nothing."

Jia She, who was praised suddenly, felt a little uncomfortable. After coughing a few times in embarrassment, he talked about the other five of the six books.According to Jia She, the Ministry of Officials is the most unofficial, the Ministry of Households is the easiest to make money, the Ministry of Rites has the highest status, and the Ministry of War has two extremes depending on whether it is wartime or peacetime. The Ministry of Punishment is the most terrible, and the Ministry of Industry is It varies from person to person.

"Why do you say that? When I was still in my natal family, I heard my father and brother mention the Ministry of Works. I remember that major projects such as civil engineering and water conservancy are indispensable. And mining, metallurgy, and textiles..." Nala Shuxian frowned, but then smiled, "Yes, the Ministry of Industry is different from other places. There's no way to get started."

"That's not to say, if you are the kind of person who is naturally tactful and very good at finding ways to do things, he can go anywhere." Jia She sneered, it was obvious that Jia Zheng was not among them.

Nala Shuxian just smiled and said nothing.

Maybe Jia Zheng is a complete idiot, but Jia Daishan is by no means a good stubble. Now that he has paved the way for his son, he knows that this way is the most suitable one.Maybe Jia Zheng won't develop in the Ministry of Industry, but it can also avoid troubles and enemies.It's just that Jia Daishan has calculated thousands of times, but he never counted his wife and children as greedy?Thinking of Jia's mother's ardent expectations for Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng's own ability, Nala Shuxian really has no hope.This mother Jia can blind her eyes because of her love for her son, but she and Jia She have already seen it clearly. This is why Jia She looked down on Jia Zheng very much.

The couple said a few words, and they left the study when the maid outside asked if the meal was about to be served.After dinner, I took a look at Brother Lian, and then La Shuxian dragged Jia She into the study, but it was to continue practicing calligraphy.In this regard, although Jia Amnesty was somewhat reluctant, he still resigned to his fate to accompany Nala Shuxian. Fortunately, although he was not very knowledgeable, he was taught rigorously when he was young. A sense of freedom.

About half a month later, Nala Shuxian was finally satisfied with her handwriting. In fact, she was not only imitating the original owner's handwriting, but also added some of her own understanding of calligraphy on this basis.

When the handwritten letter was delivered to Mrs. Zhang, the Mrs. Zhang nodded appreciatively: "It seems that Shuxian is doing well." Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to practice Chinese characters leisurely after getting married and having children.

Two months later, the Zhang family finally came to Beijing. They came in a low-key manner and hardly disturbed anyone. They only sent someone to Rongguo Mansion to deliver a message after they settled down properly.

"It's really a coincidence. If the Zhang family came a few days earlier, our family is still in filial piety, so we can't invite them over for a banquet." After receiving the letter, Jia's mother was overjoyed.Luckily, she also hurriedly ordered to go down to arrange the banquet. With an attitude of hurrying to the next day rather than late, she simply set the date for two days later, and specially called the storyteller to have fun.In addition, Mother Jia did not forget to call Mrs. Wang to her to tell her carefully. She is not worried about La Shuxian, but what Mother Jia is worried about is that Mrs. Wang will be rude when the time comes. up.

In order to ensure everything was safe, Mother Jia not only reminded her, but also reminded her for two days in a row. She even reminded her to greet her in the morning on the day of the banquet.On the surface, Mrs. Wang respectfully agreed, but secretly she hated Nala Shuxian over and over again.She also heard about the fact that Jiamu gave Nala Shuxian a set of Ru kiln tea sets earlier. Although she didn't like the tea set itself, she clearly knew the value of a set of Ru kiln tea sets. There were no bargains, but it made her feel bad. After all, in her eyes, all of Jia's mother's things would be left to their second wife in the future.

"Mother, don't worry, your daughter-in-law will definitely not embarrass the Rongguo Mansion." No matter what you think in your heart, you must have the attitude you should have.On the one hand, Mrs. Wang accepted it swallowed, but on the other hand, she secretly swore in her heart that she would never let the Zhang family underestimate her!

The members of the Zhang family arrived soon. According to Rongguo Mansion's arrangement, the male guests went directly to the front yard and were greeted by Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng brothers.Nala Shuxian was very satisfied with such an arrangement. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, she wished to get together with her natal family to speak her mind, but in fact she wished to keep a certain distance. After all, she was the original owner's mother. She really didn't have much confidence in being able to hide it.

"Mother-in-law, you are here."

"How is Shi Taijun? My naughty girl has caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

The fact that they haven't seen each other for a long time does not prevent the two old ladies from getting close. Because this banquet is related to Jia Zheng's future, Jia's mother sincerely wants to establish a good relationship with the Zhang family.As for Mrs. Zhang, because her daughter is a daughter-in-law in someone else's family, if possible, she is not stingy with giving her in-laws a little more face, and she doesn't ask anyone else, but asks her in-laws to treat her daughter better.

Although the two had different ideas, fortunately, their goals were similar, and they both wanted to get along well. In addition, the two of them had some kind of friendship, so the scene was very lively.

The two old ladies chatted, and the ladies below would not make the scene awkward.Nala Shuxian took Mrs. Wang to the wives of the Zhang family and introduced them one by one.

In Nala Shuxian's eyes, although the appearance of everyone is slightly different from the memory, they can still be recognized, especially the eldest wife of the Zhang family, who married in when the original owner was just ten years old. Growing up beside her, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law have a very good relationship.As for the other two, although they are not very close, they are not strangers either. After all, they have been together for a year or two.

"Sister-in-law, this is my natal sister-in-law. You can call her Mrs. Zhang. This is the second sister-in-law, that is the third sister-in-law, and this pretty girl...Let me guess, are you Little Bell?" Nala Shuxian smiled kindly, and reached out to touch the top of the little girl's head.

"Little aunt, my name is Zhang Yunling. I've grown up and won't be called by a nickname anymore." Little Lingdang was the daughter of the eldest wife of the Zhang family who was born the year after she entered the house. She was injured during childbirth and remained until the original owner got married. Well, the eldest wife of the Zhang family has only such a single seedling, but it is a real jewel in the palm of her hand.

"Okay, aunt knows, you are little bell." Nala Shuxian looked at her amusedly, and asked again, "You are the only one here today? Where are the younger brothers?"

"They're all at home, they didn't come." Although Xiao Lingdang is an only daughter, the second and third wives of the Zhang family each have a son.

It was a coincidence that the second wife's brother was born in the same year as Hu's brother, and the third wife's was about the same size as Lian's brother.Hearing Nala Shuxian's question at this moment, the second wife of the Zhang family explained with a smile: "The two brothers are too naughty, and they are restless when they travel long distances. I have been a little tired for the past two days, so I might as well wait for them." When it’s done, bring it to my sister.”

The third wife of the Zhang family beside her was a little shy, she only nodded in agreement, but didn't speak.Knowing her temperament, Nala Shuxian didn't pay much attention to it, but Mrs. Wang at the side took the initiative to get close to Mrs. Zhang Jiasan out of some reason.Fortunately, although the third wife of the Zhang family is shy, she is not unreasonable, and she has never been rude.

Soon, the banquet began, and the storyteller sat in the corner and began to tell the story.Different from the man over there, here is a female storyteller, although she looks plain, her voice is pleasant, and the stories she tells are quite interesting, not the usual wit and beauty, but quite amusing little anecdotes in the market.

During the eating, drinking, and joking, it was inevitable that trivial matters of each family were mentioned.In particular, Nala Shuxian hadn't seen her natal family for more than two years, so it was normal to check each other's situation.However, Nala Shuxian had already made preparations, whether it was the last time the servants of the Zhang family came to visit, or her handwritten letters afterwards, all mentioned the matter of brother Hu's early death.This sadness is inevitable, but instead of letting her family members unconsciously ask about it when they come to Rongguo Mansion, it is better to remind them as soon as possible. The more you will not mention this taboo topic.

During the conversation, Nala Shuxian gradually confirmed and compared the natal family in front of her with those in her memory.In fact, before seeing it with her own eyes, Nala Shuxian was not completely defenseless. Firstly, she was worried that her identity would be discovered, and secondly, she did not really believe that there is such a warm family in this world. After all, her natal family in her previous life But not so warm and happy.

Fortunately, the facts did not disappoint her. Although the second wife of the Zhang family was a little shrewd and the third wife was shy, at least the old lady Zhang and the first lady cared about her sincerely, and that was enough.

After drinking for three rounds, the banquet was withdrawn. Mother Jia invited the old lady of the Zhang family to drink tea in the flower hall, and then said to Nala Shuxian, "Shuxian, take your natal sister-in-laws to the garden. Daughter-in-law, let's go too." Just from the address alone, it is enough to make people aware of Jia's mother's attitude towards the two daughter-in-laws, but no one would have thought that Jia's mother favored the second room.

Nala Shuxian was also happy that Jia's mother made a face for her in front of her natal family, so naturally she would not expose it, so she immediately responded and led her natal sisters-in-law to the back garden.Although Mrs. Wang at the side was holding her breath, she followed up obediently, but deliberately stopped for a short distance without opening her mouth, thinking about something.

The gardens in Rongguo Mansion are not bad, but Nala Shuxian knows very well that compared to the south, the gardens in the north are really not good enough. Just came back from Gusu...

"Sister, since the Rongguo Mansion has passed the filial piety, what is your husband's mission now?" The eldest wife of the Zhang family actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago, but it was just because everyone was present, especially the members of the Jia family. She kept silent.At this moment, they only have their own personal servant girl in front of them, and even Mrs. Wang is a little behind, so they are not afraid of being listened to.

"Sister-in-law, my husband is the first-class general in Xi'an. He wants to fill the vacancy, but it is very difficult for a while." Nala Shuxian smiled, and said in a low voice, "Fufu Before the old man died, he had a last word to prevent future generations from following the path of generals."

The eldest wife of the Zhang family was shocked, and immediately understood the meaning of La Shuxian's words. She pursed her lips and nodded very quickly. Speaking of which, the second master in your house is a capable person." The second wife of the Zhang family also answered, "Isn't it? I heard about it a few years ago, he is very talented."

Because they stopped, Mrs. Wang, who was two steps behind, caught up now. Hearing this, she immediately laughed.But before she opened her mouth, La Shuxian said modestly: "Sisters-in-law, don't make fun of me, the old lady has already said that the second master's knowledge is only mediocre, so I thought about asking my father and brothers to help me with this." Find some good gentlemen."

Mrs. Wang's complexion sank, but fortunately she was not entirely indifferent, knowing that Jia Zheng's knowledge could not be compared with that of the Zhang family's father and son, and that Rongguo Mansion had something to ask from others, so she couldn't hold back any longer. Qu Ye could only bear it down, and only forced a smile and said: "Isn't it? My master is young, so he has to experience more. My natal second brother is really capable. I remember he started practicing martial arts when he was three years old. At the age of five, he was able to dance swords and spears, and when he was ten years old, he went to the barracks to practice. Now he is 25, and he has been promoted to the military governor of the Beijing camp. This is what he said... a hero of the world!"

Nala Shuxian fell silent, and the wives of the Zhang family also looked at each other when they heard the words, not knowing how to answer the conversation.
