The Housekeeper's Daughter-in-law of the Red House

Shulan hadn't reached the delivery room when she heard screams and couldn't help being taken aback for a moment. You must know that ordinary mothers can't let go of their voices and yell like Mingzhu even when they are in pain. She has to save her energy.

Taking a closer look, sure enough, Jia Zheng was guarding outside the delivery room. Seeing his anxious face and forehead sweating, it’s no wonder that Mrs. Wang would abuse Aunt Zhao’s mother and child in various ways in the original book. You must know that she gave birth to Jia Zhu. When the three brothers and sisters were together, Jia Zheng never once stood guard outside the delivery room.

Jealousy and hatred are the true portrayal of Mrs. Wang today.

But even though she wished Mingzhu would die twice in her heart, on the surface Mrs. Wang still put on a worried look, ordering the servants to do things, and on the other hand, she did not forget to comfort Jia Zheng.

Regardless of whether Mrs. Wang has tampered with Mingzhu's premature birth, it is undeniable that at least on the surface, she has done a good job, and she really deserves to be the living Bodhisattva praised in the original book.

"Second master, second wife." Shulan hurried over to say hello when there were few people. "The eldest lady heard that Mingzhu girl gave birth and sent me to come over to take a look."

Mrs. Wang said without blinking her eyes: "Well, the eldest lady has a heart, you just stay aside and wait." Does this mean that Shulan is not allowed to intervene?

Shulan was also happy not to intervene, and hurried to the corner to stay there.

To say that Mingzhu is a bit of a supporting role, she can't die before she completes the historical mission, wrestling, premature birth and so on can give birth to the baby smoothly and safely, even the baby is safe, it must be said that people have Supporting role halo.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Mingzhu, Miss Mingzhu gave birth to a girl." The midwife didn't know what kind of expression she should have on her face when facing Jia Zheng and his wife, but in the end she couldn't bear it, so she had to bite the bullet.

Shulan dared to use her own head as a guarantee, she definitely saw the corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth lift up into a smile.

Mrs. Wang was in a good mood when she heard that Mingzhu had given birth to a girl. Many mistresses in ancient times could accommodate concubine daughters but not concubine sons. The dowry of ten thousand taels of silver can be sent away, and marriage can be married.

Besides, according to the current rules of the Jia Mansion, if you can't give birth to a concubine, Mingzhu shouldn't even think about being an aunt. Maybe after a few years, she will be disgusted by Jia Zheng and sent out to marry a kid.So even though she was a little surprised that Mingzhu's mother and daughter were safe, Mrs. Wang was not in a bad mood.

Jia Zheng was very disappointed, he had real feelings for Mingzhu, and he was very upset to hear that Mingzhu had given birth to a girl, how could he give her a promotion if Mingzhu didn't give birth to a son!

Why is it so difficult for my aunt to get promoted these days!It's not a noble concubine, queen or something, it's unreasonable.

Jia Zheng left with a depressed and disappointed expression on his face. He originally planned in his heart that Mingzhu would give birth to a son and give her a promotion, and then he would show off in front of Jia She. Who made Jia She only have a concubine?

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Zheng's back, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, her face became pale, and she gave some instructions to the midwife and maid and left.Although Mrs. Wang has entrusted Wang Xifeng with the housework of the second bedroom, but she is worried after all, she just has to go and have a look.

A concubine, a concubine is just a concubine, so there is no need to bother at all.

Seeing Mrs. Wang left, Shulan also rushed back to the big room to report to Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Zhang.

Jia Amnesty didn't say a word, but Mrs. Zhang told Ziwen to choose some gifts and send them to the second room.

Shulan dared to bet with Xiangshang's head that Mrs. Zhang's move must be revenge for Mrs. Wang's schadenfreude and the gossip provoked by the second room when Jia Yingchun was born.

Back then, Jia Yingchun's biological mother died of dystocia, and it wasn't that no one muttered that Mrs. Zhang was leaving the mother to keep the child. It's just that Mrs. Zhang already had Jia Lian under her body at that time, so it didn't make much sense to leave the mother and keep the child. The rumor disappeared in a few days, but it still made Mrs. Zhang depressed and angry for several days.

Although she was a concubine, Mrs. Wang still held three baptisms for her in accordance with the rules of the big family, but none of her relatives and friends came, and they all found an excuse to send someone a gift.

This made Mingzhu's teeth itch with hatred. If it wasn't for the fact that she was still in confinement and couldn't cry or see Jia Zheng, she would definitely cry in front of Jia Zheng and put eye drops on Mrs. Wang.

Because no one was there, after washing the basin, everyone served Jiamu in Rongxitang and went back to their own rooms after eating.

Shulan took a post and said to Mrs. Zhang: "The sewing room for summer clothes is already being prepared, please show me."

"The days go by so fast and it will be half a month until the beginning of summer, read it!" Mrs. Zhang put the blue and white tea bowl in her hand on the small table on the couch.

"Fifty bolts of summer cloth, fifty bolts of cotton and linen... Thirty catties of thread of each color." Mrs. Zhang heard that the numbers matched, and ordered the register of Zhao Jin's family to take the pair of cards and give them to Shulan.

Shulan handed over the cards to a daughter-in-law in charge behind her, and said with a post: "My wife said earlier that I want to brew some loquat wine and mulberry wine for the female guests. Now is the season when loquat and mulberry are ripe. The people in the kitchen Come ask your wife."

Mrs. Zhang took the post and looked at the starting point. She was born in a scholarly family, so she doesn't need to ask the people below to read every post.

From this point of view, it is not to blame that Jia Zheng does not like Mrs. Wang. The teaching of the Wang family is that a woman is virtuous without talent, and Mrs. Wang is illiterate.And Jia's house pays attention to upbringing, even the maids and servants can know a few words.Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang is not as good as the maids of Jia's mansion in this respect. How does Jia Zheng, who has always fantasized about husband and wife singing along with each other, accept it? The reality is too shattered.

"Let them rewrite it and come back. How can this little be enough? Add twice as much." Mrs. Zhang returned the post to Shulan. She would rather spend more money and brew more at this time than meet someone who has no wine at that time. Awkward.

"Yes!" Shulan returned the post to the daughter-in-law in charge behind her, and picked up another post to ask Mrs. Zhang for instructions.

After finishing processing the post in hand, Shulan smiled and said: "There is one more thing to ask my wife for instructions. The day after tomorrow is the second master's birthday, we dare not make decisions, so please ask my wife for instructions."

"Lien'er is sixteen." Mrs. Zhang was in a daze. Jia Lian would be sixteen the day after tomorrow. According to the habits of aristocratic families, all the sons and daughters would make a marriage at this time. .But the focus of Mrs. Zhang's attention is not on this, but a common topic, who will be chosen as Jia Lian's wife?

Mrs. Zhang has a lot of candidates in her hands. It is not in vain for her to visit relatives and friends to treat guests to dinner during the Chinese New Year. It is just that Mrs. Zhang's requirements are a bit high, and she can pick out any girl from any family.

After watching for so long, none of them completely satisfied Mrs. Zhang, either because her family background was low, or her temperament was not good enough.Of course, there are also girls who make Mrs. Zhang look up to her, but they have already made an engagement.

It was too slow to start, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but sigh in her heart every time she encountered such a thing.Although Jia Lian's market has dropped a bit because of the death of Mrs. Zhang, he is still tall, rich and handsome in general. The only question is whether he can get anything famous on the road to the imperial examination.

Now Mrs. Zhang can be said to be casting a wide net to catch more fish, so she didn't miss any chance, she rolled her eyes and said, "Just follow the usual practice and have someone write a post and send it to all the prefectures."

"Yes!" Shulan replied, it would not be easy or pleasant to go down and inform the various departments of the big house that a banquet would be held, and these servants were very troubled.
