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

After returning from visiting Zhou Rui's house, Shulan always felt that something was wrong, but for a while she couldn't tell what was wrong, but for a while she was in a daze, sitting on the kang in a daze and meditating.

As soon as Lin Zhixiao entered the door, he saw Shulan sitting on the kang in a state of contemplation, and couldn't help wondering: "What are you thinking about, so engrossed."

Shulan was taken aback by Lin Zhixiao's sudden voice, subconsciously looked sideways, and was relieved to see that it was Lin Zhixiao.He blamed: "Why did you come in and there was no sound? It scared me."

Lin Zhixiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's obvious that you were too engrossed in your thoughts and didn't hear the sound of me coming in. Why are you blaming me again now?" He asked again: "What were you thinking about just now? So engrossed?"

There is no need for Shulan to hide this from Lin Zhixiao, so she put the matter aside and said at the end: "Is it strange that her girl chooses a son-in-law, what is it to do with me, and she deliberately said this in front of me? "It's good that she has a daughter, but there is too much difference in age, so it's completely unnecessary to show off and compare. Shulan really doesn't know what Zhou Rui's family is thinking.

After hearing this, Lin Zhixiao reacted quickly, because Zhou Rui had mentioned this in front of him before, but he pretended not to understand what he said, but he didn't expect that they would still talk about it. He didn't give up, so he said angrily at this moment: "What's going on, what else can happen, his family has fallen in love with Shuyu!"

"What!?" Shulan was shocked.

Unlike Lin Zhixiao, Shulan doesn't have any views of looking down on others. To be honest, Lin's family is no better than Zhou Rui's family, they are all servants of Jia's family.

"Shuyu is still so young. It's better to marry a wife in a few years." Shulan said righteously: "Besides, his family is not a good match."

It's not that Shulan deliberately said that Zhou Rui's family is not good, but that's the truth. Zhou Rui's family is the same as Lin's family, and now they have a man and a woman. If the Zhou family's kid is up to date, Shulan may think about it, but she is not as climaxing as Lin Zhixiao. heart.It's just that Zhou Rui's parents and adopted sons are useless things.They always get into trouble, such a family is really not a good family to marry.

"You just have to know it in your heart, and you don't have to say it in the open, just pretend you don't understand it." Lin Zhixiao fooled Zhou Rui in this way. Anyway, as long as they want to save face as a woman, they will not blatantly propose to the man. When a request for marriage comes, as long as you pretend you don't understand, after one or two times, people will naturally retreat.

Shulan nodded, "I see!" There was indeed no other way.Especially when my family is still observing filial piety, if you talk about this, be careful not to be stabbed in the spine.

***

When the second chamberlain of Jia's mansion was busy preparing for Jia Yuanchun's entry into the palace, a major event happened in the court, which shocked the whole court and the capital.

The prince actually took advantage of the occasional wind and cold of the emperor, and rebelled gorgeously! ! !

After the Jia family heard the news, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were people who had never experienced such a thing, and they panicked at that time. Fortunately, Jia's mother had experienced it once when she was a child, and immediately asked people to close the door and sent the mansion The young servants are patrolling, in case anyone who picks up a bargain rushes into the mansion.

Everyone gathered in the Rongxi Hall, and Mother Jia straightened her back and tried to give others confidence, but her own confidence was not enough.At the time of the palace change that year, Jia Mu's father and elder brother were both at home, and both of them were capable, so it ended without making Jia Mu worry about anything.

But now there is no one in Jia's house who can support it, only Jia's mother can do it by herself.

Jia's family was a duke of two kingdoms back then, but they envied others, so the families living around them were all meritorious families, even if some families changed from martial arts to literary, some people still went all the way to death.Therefore, although this street was the main target of the rebels' attack, they were not allowed to rush in under the cooperation of the government.

After hearing the news, Lin Zhixiao hurried back to report to Mother Jia and others: "The rebels are not many in number, they have already been driven away, and it seems that they are going to the palace. Presumably the prince did not take down the palace." Otherwise. How could they give up here? Once they can control this place, many leading generals may choose to surrender for the sake of their families. This is one of the key points.

Now that the rebels have escaped, the only explanation is that the palace did not attack as the prince wished.

Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "That's good, but I don't know if the rebels will suddenly attack, and I will tell everyone in the whole house not to relax. After this period of time, there will be a big reward."

"Yes!" Lin Zhixiao bowed and retreated, and went down to order the crowd.

Not only Jia's mother breathed a sigh of relief, but everyone else present also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, there is no one from the Jia family in the palace now. It doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor to the Jia family. Anyway, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng Jia Jing, Jia Zhen and Jia Zhen are not high-ranking officials, each of whom is an official of the fourth rank or above.

There is a joke in the capital: When a stone is thrown, among the ten people, three are relatives of the emperor, three are first- and second-rank officials, and four are meritorious families.

Officials below the fourth rank in the capital are not called officials. If it weren't for Jia's mansion and the signs of "Rongguo Mansion" and "Ningguo Mansion", a family with no background like him would have become a third-rate family long ago. It's better than ordinary people.

Just when everyone was about to say some relaxing words to relax their minds, Lai Da hurried in, knelt down on the ground without waiting for Mother Jia and others to ask, and said loudly: "The old lady is very happy, very happy! Master Shi Hou and the second and third masters of the Shi family have led an army of [-] from the Gyeonggi camp to break through the Donghua Gate guarded by the rebels, and are now rushing towards the palace. In addition, the master Shi Jia asked General Xu to lead a team of troops to come here I think it will be here soon.”

The historians and their sons were so quick that it took less than an hour for Donghuamen to be breached. This only proved one thing, that is, the emperor had long been prepared for the prince's rebellion.

Of course, Jia Mu and the others are not aware of this at the moment. They are overjoyed that King Qin's army is here to protect them, and the generals under the Shi family are right. Who in this capital does not know that Jia Mu is Shi Jia's aunt, as long as this When General Xu came, it was just that Jia's mansion was safe.

"The old lady can rest assured now. General Xu was promoted by Master Shi Hou. Since he led the rescue team here, I think it is safe to come to our house." Wang Xifeng said quickly before everyone else.

"Okay, okay!" Mother Jia's face was full of excitement, and then she felt a little regretful. Although she is a woman and has no foresight, she is not a fool.The historians and their sons came to King Qin so quickly, they must have gotten wind of it before, and Mother Jia didn't resent the historians for not notifying her, after all, this kind of thing didn't come until the last moment, if you said the prince was going to rebel, then you would rebelled.Moreover, none of the Jia family holds military power now, so it is useless to tell the family.

But Jia's mother still has some regrets, because Jia Daishan was able to inherit the title of Rong Guogong without degrading his title, because of his merits from Conglong.Mother Jia could already imagine what the historian would have been like if the prince hadn't succeeded in rebelling and the emperor had won a complete victory.

Although this is also a good thing for Jia's mother, she is now the daughter-in-law of the Jia family, so she naturally hopes that her family will be well.It's a pity that no one in the Jia family joined the army.

Lin Shuyu, the only half, has just been admitted to Wu Xiucai, and he is still far away from embarking on an official career.

Speaking of which, Mother Jia let Lin Shuyu out of the house because of Nanny Lai's affection. After all, Nanny Lai was her confidant, and Nanny Lai knew exactly what she had done to Jia Daishan's concubine back then. , This is one of the reasons why Mother Jia has always tolerated the Lai family.

But now that the Lai family's heart is getting bigger, Jia Qiang, the decent great-great-grandson of Ningguo Mansion, is going to become Lai Dawei Grandpa Lai, which really makes Jia's mother very upset.But Mother Jia couldn't use drastic means to take down the Lai family, she was afraid that her dark side would be exposed.Therefore, in order not to make Nanny Lai feel that something was wrong, she let Lin Shuyu out as well.

Who would have thought that this child would be so outstanding, so outstanding that Mother Jia regretted letting him out.It's just that things have become a foregone conclusion, so everything has to be considered for the best.

Jia Yuanchun, according to her and Erfang's intention, wanted to enter the palace to reproduce the fact that Concubine Zhen De honored the harem. Jia's mother had great ambitions, and she also thought that Jia Yuanchun would give birth to a son to inherit the throne in the future, so she was supported by her natal family. Very important.

The Jia family and the Wang family will definitely support Jia Yuanchun. In the future, the historians of the four major families and the Xue family will probably support Jia Yuanchun as long as they are lured with money.For the rest of the family friends, at most they waved their flags and shouted a few times, or they were neutral and biased toward Jia Yuanchun, but they would definitely not make a fuss until the last moment.

It's like their own family and the Zhen family have a good relationship, but the Jia family is still very cautious in the matter of seizing the heir, they did not fall on the Zhen family.

In this way, for Jia Yuanchun, in addition to his own efforts to climb up, he also had to win some allies into his camp.

After learning that Lin Shuyu was so outstanding, Jia's mother had the idea of ​​wooing the Lin family. Once Lin Shuyu really walked out of Wulu and held the power in the future, wouldn't her family have another good help, so she He would rather bury his eyeliner in Dafang again than instruct Lin Zhixiao and his wife to do anything.

The same thing happened to the Lin family. His daughter Jia Min was indeed the head wife of the Lin family, but Jia's mother knew that Lin Ruhai had the final say on the Lin family's external affairs, and Jia Min had no chance to intervene.Therefore, Jia's mother can only be better and more enthusiastic towards the Lin family in her daily contacts, so that Lin Ruhai can remember her kindness in the future and let him support Jia Yuanchun in the future.

It's a pity that Jia's mother didn't realize her painstaking efforts. Both the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law complained in private that she was too kind to Jia Min, and that even her own grandson couldn't compare to Jia Min, an aunt who had been married for many years.

I really thought she didn't know, the second daughter-in-law complained in private: she said that the aunt is the old lady's only child, and neither the eldest master nor the second master can compare to her.

This idiot didn't even think about who she was thinking about. If it wasn't for Jia Yuanchun's future future, why would she bother to treat Jia Min like that? Only daughters ever please their mothers, and no mother ever pleases their daughters.

Every time I heard about Jia Mu, I felt that I was so angry that I could only ignore it and not listen.
