The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Last night, the daughter-in-law rewarded her. My wife doesn't know what the boy's name is. It's so cute."

"What name?" Shi Shi didn't take it seriously, and took a sip of tea with the girl's hand.

"It's not the daughter-in-law who said, the wife can't guess it anymore——named Li. Dog. Egg."

"Puchi", Shi squirted out a mouthful of tea.The skirt was splashed with tea.

When Tang Chao saw it, he quickly squatted down and wiped it with a handkerchief.At the same time, he asked Shi Shi softly if he wanted to change his clothes now.

Shi looked at the skirt that was just splashed with a little tea, and shook his head.Seeing this, Tang Chao wiped off the water lightly, then retreated.

"Hehe, don't talk about your wife. My daughter-in-law had the same reaction as you when she heard it. How did these parents think of this name?"

Shi smiled and waved his hands, "It wasn't his parents who started it, but your master."

"...", Tang Chao opened his eyes wide, with an expression of disbelief.

Are you always kidding me?

Such a prestigious name was actually given by Jia Daishan?

Tang Chao felt that she seemed to have discovered some great secret.It turns out that the legendary Grand Duke can still be so down-to-earth.

Zhang was also speechless, but at least her eyes were not as wide as Tang Chao's.She couldn't believe her father-in-law, her wise and wise father-in-law would have such a name.

Shi glanced at Zhang, then at the people sitting in the room, shook his head and said, "Don't say you don't believe it, I didn't believe it when I first heard it."

Then Shi Shi talked about that year.Back then, Li Goudan's father was a good horse breeder.Grandpa Guo used to have a few fine horses, which were raised by Li Goudan's father.

And the name Li Goudan came from Jia Daishan when he got drunk and heard that he had a new son.

Afterwards, although I also felt that the name was "too standard", but I couldn't save face and said it badly, so please don't use it, or I will give it a new name that is not "dog egg".

So Li Goudan's father gave his eldest son such a name with a feeling of being both entangled and deeply honored.

After Shi finished speaking, both Tang Chao and Zhang felt sympathy for Li Goudan.

The Tang Dynasty thought more, especially according to this era, or according to the habits of the Jia family, those servants who became relatives would add men's names, such as Zhou Rui's family, Wang Shanbao's family, and Li Gou's family in the future. Dan's daughter-in-law is called "Li Goudan's family" outside.

Thinking about it this way, Tang Chao felt a chill all over his body.

"What is this girl thinking?" When Zhang raised her head, she saw Tang Chao trembling.Can't help but think about asking her.

Tang Chao replied subconsciously, "It's from Li Goudan's family".

It doesn't matter what he said, but everyone understood the meaning of the words.Can't help being a little funny.

If a name is not named, not only the man himself will be ridiculed, but even his wife and children will not be left behind.

"Not to mention, maybe there is a reason for this, otherwise Li Goudan would not be able to marry a wife in his twenties." After Zhang laughed, he said to Shi Shi with some emotion.

Shi Shi glared at her, and scolded with some amusement, "I know you're talking nonsense. Why don't you go and see what happened to the fried quail that Hu'er and the other brothers wanted to eat last night. Let alone the three of them, Even my old lady wants to eat it."

When Mrs. Zhang saw it, she immediately changed the subject, "Madam, don't worry, I ordered the cook to prepare it when I came back yesterday. Not only the three brothers have it, but even the uncle and the second master's place, the daughter-in-law has also ordered someone to prepare it. You see, how about it?" Let the lunch of the three of their brothers be served here. Wouldn't it be interesting for the grandparents and grandchildren to eat quail against each other."

Upon hearing this, Shi smiled and scolded Zhang for being narrow.So it was arranged like this, after all, eating alone is too lonely.

"She'er and Zheng'er both worked hard at court, so noon shouldn't be too simple."

"Don't worry, madam, daughter-in-law understands. The kitchen will report the dishes every month. The uncle likes to eat meat, and the second master likes to be vegetarian. So they are all prepared according to taste. The uncle's portion is more meat, and the soup is vegetarian. Yes. The second master’s portion has more vegetables, so the soup is nourished.”

"Xie'er goes to court every five days, but Zheng'er has to go to court early every day, and the people who follow you when you go out have to be taken care of. Don't make any mistakes, you know?"

Aunt, your son is in his late thirties, are you still afraid of being picked up by wild dogs?You raise a son like this, no wonder you can raise a young girl like Jia Baoyu.

Mrs. Zhang understood Shi's mood, after all, she was also the mother of two children.Even if the son can't travel thousands of miles, the mother is also worried.So he got up and listened respectfully.

Listening to the pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking so unnutritively, Tang Chao yawned profusely, wishing he could interrupt them directly and let them say something else.

It's a pity that Tang Chao only thought about this kind of thinking.Like the Tang Dynasty, there is also Wang Shi, the second wife, who has been suppressed by her sister-in-law for many years, and has long since given up any hope of breaking through the blockade of her eldest sister-in-law.

They are all from everyone's background, and they have scheming methods.The sad thing is that she is not as clever as her elder sister-in-law, and her otherwise good tongue has become scum in life.It looks even more dull.

At this moment, in Wang's heart, she regarded herself as a foil, so what else could she do.

Anyway, this is not a day or two, a year or two.Wang already had to let herself get used to it.

Even this kind of thing that was clearly ordered by the two daughter-in-laws, her mother-in-law acted as if she didn't see it, and only ordered the elder sister-in-law in charge of the house.

Alas, when is the first day?

After lunch, I took a nap.At this time, the three-year-old Second Master Lian and the four-year-old Uncle Zhu are in the room of their grandmother, and they are rewarded with afternoon snacks to receive the education of Brother Hu's love.

"What is this girl snickering about?" Shi looked at the three brothers below talking there, and with a glance, Tang Chao who was standing on the side smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Tang Chao stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "Going back to Madam, I just thought of the scene when Brother Hu taught my servants how to write when I was a child. You see, Brother Hu is more imposing now than back then."

As soon as Tang Chao finished speaking, everyone in the room looked at the three little brothers.Needless to say, the eight-year-old Jia Hu really has the air of an elder brother.

"Haha, I still remember that Brother Hu forced you to teach your homework every day, but it didn't worry you too much."

"Isn't that right? I still can't figure it out, Brother Hu, how can I tell whether my handwriting is better today than yesterday, or not as good as the day before?" Tang Chao recalled that time, every day After eating in the morning, Brother Hu would check the big characters she wrote yesterday.Every time I read one, I have to comment on one, and I always say that this one is better than the previous one, and that one is not as good as yesterday's.

When Shi Shi heard this, he laughed again.I don't know if it's because she has a grandson by her side, but every little thing about the child can make her happy for a long time.

"You need to practice your handwriting well. The account book you copied for Yuanyang a while ago, the handwriting was not round at all, but rather sharp. I remember last year when Min'er brought New Year's gifts, besides giving Brother Hu a The Four Treasures of the Study Room also gave you a copybook. Have you practiced it yet?"

I remember that before Min'er got married, he brought her and Brother Hu with him, and when he prepared things for Brother Hu, he didn't forget her.It can be seen that it is a pain.

"I'm practicing now, but after so many years of writing, I still feel that the strokes of the characters are too many, and the writing brush is too soft. If it is as hard as the eyebrow pencil, my handwriting will definitely be better. Yes." Although her facial features are pretty good now, of course it's her own opinion.

"Pfft", Shi squirted out a mouthful of tea, pointed at Tang Chao and was speechless.I can't write well by myself, and it's hard to write because the pen is too soft.Is there something so unreasonable?

You can write such sharp characters with such a soft brush, if it is too hard, you will have to poke a hole in the sky.

Tang Chao felt that she could write well with both pencil and pen.It is this brush calligraphy, no matter how you practice it, it feels a little harder.Mrs. Zhang read it and said it was too sharp, and it was not written by her daughter.

"That's what you said in your letter to Min'er?"

"How can it be? If it's so real, how can I have the nerve to let someone take it to the south?"

"Then you have the nerve to tell me?" Shi Shi didn't believe Tang Chao's embarrassment.

"My wife knows people with her eyes, and my servants are in front of my wife every day. How dare I blow myself up like a flower when I write a letter to my aunt. So I have to tell the truth."

"Hehe, you. As for the letter written by your hand, I'm also very kind."

When Tang Chao heard Shi Shi's words, he quickly picked up the handkerchief, imitating Zhu Bajie's embarrassed look, and teased Shi Shi.When Shi Shi saw it, he roared with laughter again.Pointing at Tang Chao, he laughed so hard that he couldn't speak.

"Ma'am, don't blame me, the poor students are polite." He put down the veil and performed a simple Buddhist ceremony. This time, let alone Shi and the maids beside him.Even Mrs. Zhang, who came over, was very happy.

This girl will make trouble.Every day you know how silly you are.

For a while, after everyone was happy, Mrs. Zhang said what she wanted to do.

"The second brother and sister are pregnant again. My daughter-in-law has done some calculations. It is estimated that the time of delivery will be around the first month. For this matter, our family has to appoint a midwife in advance. There is also an annual gift for the Lin family, which has already been approximated. Daughter-in-law I have drawn up the list, please have a look at it, my wife. I think my sister and uncle are both lovers of books. My daughter-in-law has already sent someone to buy the new sets of books released by the bureau this year. I can wait and add Into the list, do you think this is okay?"
