The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

"Grandma, Daddy's Honghong. Not this one." The little girl stared at her grandma's small bowl for a while, then raised her head to look at her silly dad's bowl, pouted her mouth, and said unhappily Said.

"You are a little heartless, grandma can still lose you. Oh, poached eggs." Li Goudan's bowl is full of spicy peppers, which is not something a child can eat.

The current Li Ning has already squeezed her mother's position in her grandmother's heart from the first place not long after she was born.The delicious food now is Li Ning first, and then Tang Dynasty.

Just like this meeting, if Li Ning hadn't been born, Mrs. Tang must have served her daughter a bowl of noodles.But now, I only care about my granddaughter. If my daughter wants to eat, she can only go to the kitchen to serve it by herself.

So Mrs. Tang, who no longer had a daughter in her eyes, took the poached egg into small pieces with chopsticks and brought it to Li Ning.

The little girl wanted to say something more, but the poached eggs made by her grandma immediately attracted her.

.. ......

After eating, Tang Chao asked Li Goudan to rest on the kang.After all, the journey was full of wind and dust.It's exhausting even when you're young.

Although it is already mid-March, the capital is still a bit cold, and Tang Chao's family is full of old people and children.So the kang is still burning.The Tang Dynasty would burn until the beginning of April every year before stopping the fire, and this year is no exception.

Li Goudan took off his outer robe, kicked off his shoes, and quickly climbed to the top of the kang.Lying on the pillows of the Tang Dynasty, smelling the fragrance of oranges emanating from the pillows.The person who didn't feel tired at first started snoring like thunder in the next moment.

Just after noon, Mrs. Tang, who couldn't stay at home, went to chat with her old sisters in the back street.Tang Chao had just put his daughter to sleep, before he walked through the main room, the sound of snoring came from the bedroom.Tang Chao smiled, and couldn't help but think that people are animals of habit.

When they first got married, as long as Li Goudan snored a little while sleeping, she would definitely not be able to sleep.Unexpectedly, after these few years, if she didn't hear the snoring, she would not be able to fall asleep again.

With a look of helplessness and a bit of sweetness, Tang Chaote thought artificially that she and Li Goudan were really enemies in the previous life.I have to pay him back in this life.

It is said that in Tang Chao's house, except Mrs. Tang's pillow is still the long and square shape, everyone else's pillows are made into soft pillows according to Tang Chao's preferences.

Zhuangzi of Tang Chao's family produced a lot of oranges last winter. Tang Chao saved the orange peels and made them into pillows.The orange smell is very fragrant, even better than greasy hair oil.

Li Goudan fell asleep and hugged the pillow in his arms.It's like holding a daughter-in-law who smells like oranges into her arms.

Rubbing my face against the pillow, I couldn't help but think in my dream that it's good to be home, full of food, warm clothes, and my wife's hot bed.

At dusk, Li Goudan, who had a good night's sleep, ate the meals carefully prepared by his wife and mother-in-law, so beautiful in his heart.

Knowing that his brother had returned from outside, Li Shu also came out from the mansion.When he came out, he also specially picked up his eldest nephew Li Jue from the small study.

A family of six had a reunion dinner around a floor-to-ceiling round table.

After dinner, after chatting again, Li Shu and Li Jue went back to the guest room, while Mrs. Tang went to her own room with her heart in her arms.Only then did Li Goudan throw his arms around his daughter-in-law and threw himself onto the kang in three steps and two steps.

In the green gauze tent, there was a lump of snow-like soft flesh on the big red quilt, which made Li Goudan's heart itch unbearably.

This is his daughter-in-law.

Although he had given birth to two children, Li Goudan's enthusiasm for this kind of thing has not diminished.Grinding vigorously the soft flesh of the daughter-in-law's body, kissing and gnawing at the same time.I can't wait to swallow it in one gulp, it's considered safe.

Since my daughter quit breastfeeding, she moved out of their room.Li Goudan no longer has any taboos, and he is more bold in this kind of thing.All kinds of poses that make Tang Chao, a modern person feel ashamed, are put out one by one.Depressed groan.Moaning, rough roaring.All lingering in the small bedroom.

After some panting, Li Goudan rolled off his wife.It is a good thing for the daughter to stop breastfeeding, and she will not live in the husband and wife's bedroom in the future, disturbing their normal life at night.But the bad thing is that you are thirsty in the middle of the night, and there is no ready-made thirst-quenching drink.

After touching his wife who was lying beside him, Li Goudan resigned himself to go to the underground kang to pour water.

He is thirsty, and his wife should be thirsty too.

Tang Chao's body was covered with bruises, and his eyelids were fighting with exhaustion.But Xiao Biesheng's newly-married friendship is still fermenting in his body.After drinking his saliva, he turned around and buried himself in Li Goudan's arms.

.. ......

A few days after Li Goudan came back, Tang Chao took his daughter to visit Jia Hu and his wife.

Coincidentally, after Jia Hu got married, he moved to live in the East Courtyard, and the servants' room where the Tang Dynasty family lived was also in the east area.The distance has actually more than doubled.

After paying homage to Mrs. Hu's grandma Shui Shi, Tang Chao went to Shi Shi's yard again.When we arrived at Shi's courtyard, Jia Cong was moving to the four courtyards in front.

The yard was in a mess, maids, servants, and the boys on the second door were all busy back and forth.Seeing this, Tang Chao quickly got out of the way and walked towards Shi's main house.

In other words, after Jia Hu's marriage, it will be Jia Zhu's.Over the years, the second room has been steadily suppressed by the big house, no matter how high Wang's heart is, she is now overwhelmed.Although the eldest daughter of the second room was brought up under Shi Shi's knee, the eldest girl is closer to Zhang Shi's aunt.This made Wang can only bow his head to Zhang.

After all these years, Jia Zheng's official status has always been the same.The fifth grade member Wailang has been sitting for more than ten years.Regarding the marriage of her son and daughter, Mrs. Wang knew that she had to look up to Mrs. Zhang a lot.Gradually, she became more docile to Mrs. Zhang.

She has to accept even if she refuses, especially when she still misses her little niece from her natal family.

When the Tang Dynasty came, it happened that Mrs. Wang was praising her little niece.When she spoke out the draft that had been typed for two days, Wang felt relieved.

Stupid mouth, can't afford to hurt it!

Before Jia Hu got married, Mrs. Wang took out two high-quality things from the dowry and sent them to the big room. One was a gift to congratulate Jia Hu on her marriage, and the other was to ask Mrs. Zhang to help Jia Zhu in her marriage. Thank you.

Mrs. Zhang was amused in her heart, and the way she looked at Mrs. Wang changed a little.

How should I put it, it's still the same sentence, marriage, the marriage is the best of the two surnames.The reason why she didn't marry her son to a girl from her natal family was because this marriage was a bit tasteless.

The mother's family and her husband's family are already related by marriage.If you get married again, it will be superfluous, and it will narrow the road.Even in order not to alienate the relationship in the future, brother Hu's next generation can be married to his mother's family.

And this also avoids swinging left and right in the natal family's support position.After all, if there is any conflict of interest between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, will the natal family stand behind this generation of aunts or the previous generation of aunts.

The answer is obvious.

Any parent will not waver between choosing a younger sister and a daughter.

How can a younger sister have a daughter?

When you become a grandparent, you will marry a girl from your natal family for your grandson.That's another story.After all, if the brothers are in charge, when the brothers are getting older, they will naturally miss the friendship between brothers and sisters when they were young.Moreover, the relationship between sisters of the same generation and granddaughters of the next generation is actually similar.But in any case, the conflict between the great mother-in-law and the grand-daughter-in-law is definitely much smaller and less than the conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

The marriage at that time not only maintained the relationship with the natal family, but also allowed the elderly mother-in-law and the new granddaughter-in-law who had not yet gained a firm foothold to stand on the same side naturally.

Why not do it when you can do it in one fell swoop?

But Wang seems to have no such idea.How could she think of these things?

It is said that people have no long-term worries, but near-term worries.Not to mention anything else, as long as Wang, a mother-in-law, takes concubines for her son, or asks her daughter-in-law to set the rules, can the pampered daughter-in-law not complain to her own parents?

Oh, she remembered.Her younger brother and sister are going to marry a child who has no father or mother.

Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyebrows and thought, then smiled again.It turned out that she fell in love with the identity of the eldest daughter of the Wang family and the clever temperament of Sister Feng.It's just... looking at that girl's wild and wild temperament, is she really a good candidate for a wife?

But that's good too, she will use Yuan girl again in the future.The brothers are incompetent, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are inconsistent.The fact that there was no one to help her at home just made her follow her torment with all her heart.

But Mrs. Zhang, who figured it out in an instant, accepted the thank you very happily, promised to help without mentioning it, and kept boasting that Jia Zhu and Sister Feng were a match made in heaven.

Because of this, when Tang Chao came in, he first heard the compliments that Mrs. Wang had drafted, and then immediately heard Mrs. Zhang's adjectives comparing Sister Feng to the sky and comparing her to Cheng Hua, so he felt a little weak on the spot.

What's wrong with this sister-in-law today?Why is the tone consistent with the outside world?

Who is taking the wrong medicine?

Tang Chao immediately tightened his grip on his daughter, preparing for a bad wind, and ran away with her in his arms.She didn't want to fall into the deep pit of the sister-in-law.

After saying hello, Jiamu Shi first smiled and said, "You just happened to come. Min'er sent someone from the south to Beijing. I brought you a few pieces of material. When I leave later, I just took them back."

Hearing this, Tang Chao hurriedly stood up to express his thanks. "It's thanks to my aunt who always thinks about it. This girl has been born until now, and her sex is good and new. Is it okay for my aunt to be in the south?"

Mentioning Bulai, Tang Chao's heart was about to burst into tears.In this era, a piece of cloth is only about 13 meters.And a skirt with the hem alone would be four meters five.It's six.That's not counting, if you sew large I-shaped pleats, it will be even more expensive.It also needs to be matched with the middle coat inside and the big clothes outside.After a piece of cloth is used to make two clothes, it is estimated that only two handkerchiefs are left.

Of course, for a skilled hand like Mrs. Tang, one piece of cloth can make at least three sets of adult dresses.

From this point, the Tang Dynasty discovered that ancient people were less able to live than modern people.You must know that a skirt in modern times is only half a meter long with addition and subtraction.Those thighs, that small waist are much more interesting than this tightly covered one.

"Min'er is good, she is doing well. The letter said that she is still healthy. It is almost the same today." Shi frowned. Jia Min's month is remembered in his heart, and in his mind, why does he open his mouth? I forgot too.

Mrs. Zhang knew the opportunity, and quickly took it over and said, "It's been almost five months. Our natal family's gift should also be prepared."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's been five months. I've been thinking about Min'er for so many years. Now it's finally the end of all hardships." If a woman doesn't have a son, what hope does she have in her life.

The most important thing is that there is no child to give up!

With their family's wealth, the Lin family dare not do this.But housewife without son.That is, even the servants in the family will obey the yin and yang.

Also, the dwarves have to leave half of the matter behind them.

When Tang Chao heard that Jia Min was pregnant, he subconsciously thought it was impossible.Then I thought of the child who died at the age of three that was mentioned in the book.

Looking at the daughter with a naive and ignorant expression, Tang Chao couldn't smile anymore.

That woman who is as poetic as a picture.

That woman is a bit lofty, a bit petty, and a bit transparent.

How unfair is the law of heaven?How stingy?

If the love is not deep, the wisdom will die.

Could it be that for a woman like Jia Min, the meaning of existence is only to give birth to that fairy land from the other world?

At this moment, Tang Chao hated her.Hating Xiao, Xiang, who has not yet been born with many tears.

If such a thing didn't happen to the people around her, she, or most people in the world, would express a few words in the mood of watching the excitement.

But she is different.Jamin is no different.They are half teachers and half friends, and even though they don't see each other very often over the years, their friendship has only grown.

Thinking of this, how could Tang Chao not be sad or sad.

"Oh, this kid. I'm not even sad anymore, why are you still recruiting me?" Seeing Tang Chao's sad look, Shi also sighed with empathy.

The son lives to be one hundred years old, and the mother worries about 99.

Tang Chao quickly put away the sadness on his face, and replied with a smile, "Yes, such a thing should be happy. I heard a few years ago that each family begged for a piece of cloth from a hundred families to give This Baijia clothes worn by children is both attractive and auspicious. I have already ordered more than 90, and I will collect them in two days. I will carefully make a child's clothes. I will ask the family to help me a little bit when the time comes. Auntie. It's also a little bit of my heart."

Speaking of which, the Tang Dynasty knew about this matter years ago, and sent people to collect these fabrics before.Two days ago, when Li Goudan came back from Xishan, he happened to collect the cloth strips from dozens of tenant households there.

Now that we have collected a few more, we can start making clothes.Of course, the clothes made out of this thing must have a good lining inside, otherwise they won't be able to wear it.

When Shi Shi heard this, he was also moved.Busy to ask how many more.After hearing this, he said that since Tang Chao knew about it, why should he tell her first, and she would do the same for others.Anyway, in these years, Tang Chao and Shi Shi really wanted to make some folk remedies for Jia Min to try whenever they were free or not.

"The old lady doesn't know that you have to be particular about begging for cloth. You are always a lucky person. If you really go to ask for it, it is not beautiful. And every time you get a piece of cloth, you have to chant sutras. People say That's the soul."

After hearing this, Shi Shi said that when the cloth was collected, he would bring it to the mansion.She will also follow the needle and thread.Once it's done, you'll have an idea for the next piece.

"Oh, my old lady, such a patchwork of clothes made of various materials, one of which is not easy to make clothes, so I want another one? My sister is pregnant now, and in a blink of an eye, she will be in her arms for three years." Two, you always do it. But no matter how anxious you are, you always have to wait until the birth is over. Or is it that the old lady thinks this thing is more economical and more practical? I see, you are always reluctant to give it to our aunt Have you prepared for the birth ceremony? I can’t bear to let it happen, so I’ll leave it to Hu’er’s family later on. It’ll save me too.”

When Jia's mother heard what the eldest daughter-in-law said, she laughed. "You are poor. See if your daughter-in-law laughs at you."

Mrs. Zhang looked smug, and smiled back at her, "The old lady didn't find out. Please ask me to send Hu's daughter-in-law away."

Upon hearing this, Shi Shi realized that Shui Shi's figure had not been seen, and smiled and nodded at her.

While a few people were chatting and laughing, a girl in a purple skirt with a red back came in with small steps.

"I met the old lady, ladies. The eldest girl heard that Sister Li brought her sister in to pay her respects. Please ask the servants to come and lead sister Ning over."

"The eldest girl's class is over?" Every day at this time, it is the time for the eldest girl Yuanchun to take piano lessons.

In the past two years, Yuanchun's classes have become more and more serious, such as appreciation of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, antiques, fabrics and jewelry.There is also the housekeeper and director, how to deal with the servants.And, take history books and previous dynasties, plus current dynasties as amateur courses.Of course, the former is mostly taught by people invited by Zhang.The latter item was personally handled by Mrs. Zhang in private.

That's why Mrs. Zhang asked this question when she saw the girl coming to call for someone.

"Returning to the wife, not yet, the husband asked the girl to take a short break at this moment. Don't play too much and hurt your hands."

Naturally, she knew the courses she arranged.Seeing that it was an intermission, Mrs. Zhang nodded, and then looked at her mother-in-law.Shi Shi didn't think much about it, and sent the little girl out with Li Ning.

Such things have existed before.So the Tang Dynasty didn't take it seriously.

It's just that Tang Chao didn't expect that three-year-old Li Ning would fall into the eyes and hearts of eight-year-old Jia Cong.

At this glance, it is a hundred years.

Speaking of which, the eldest girl Yuan Chun was already eight years old at this time, besides Li Jue who was born at the end of the year, Jia Cong who was born in autumn was the same age as her.

The two may be of the same age and grew up together, but their relationship is closer than that of their brothers.

Because of this, Jia Cong, who had no taboo, entered Yuan Chun's room openly.Then I saw a big white rabbit jumping up there.

The author has something to say: Hee hee, now I know why I arranged for Li Goudan to be the seventh rank.The eldest daughter of the seventh-rank official.

And a promising uncle, and two useful brothers.

It should be enough for Zhang's youngest son in terms of identity.

Dear readers, Happy New Year.I wish you all good luck and good luck in the new year.
