The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

Tang Chao didn't feel any embarrassment for exposing his son's small flaws.Children of this age are not exaggerated.

Moreover, the women in Jia's family are small-minded, like a needle nose.To praise Tang Jing is not to mention Baoyu's incompetence and Jiazhi's nonsense again?Tell the son's small flaws, and erase the son's function in this matter.This is good for Tang Jing.

Baoyu is naive and cowardly, but sensible and kind.Jia Zhi is flamboyant, but her bearing is extraordinary.But Tang Jing is cautious and meticulous, but has flaws that are hard to mend.Looking at it this way, Tang Jing is the bottom of the three.After all, no matter how you cover up and change it, Lu Chi is a terminal illness that cannot be cured.

Just as Tang Chao thought, the three generations of women in Jia's family, young and old, and Tang Chao complimented each other on their little boy, and they felt very happy and happy.

Shi even asked Yuanyang to find a small compass in her private room.Pocket watch style, very delicate, but also very feminine.

"This is something from overseas, and it was sent by the officials from the south when your old man was alive. This is for your brother Jing, and it will be useful to some extent." Wearing presbyopic glasses, Shi said with some nostalgia.

Tang Chao got up and thanked Tang Jing. "Then I have to thank the old lady for the reward. Otherwise, the direction will be reversed, but I will go further and further away." She is also a stick, why didn't she think of getting her son a compass, a compass spoon or something.

Shi Shi waved his hand, not paying attention to it, she has a lot of good things, so she doesn't care. "Boys nowadays, there is no one who is obedient. Brother Zhi makes a fuss every day and moves to the front yard. He does what he wants, but it makes others worry for a while. It's still cold today, so I'm not afraid to live in that house for a while. Feeling uncomfortable, these children. And Cong'er, Sa Yazi ran to the Northwest, saying that she still needs to practice and practice, and she will not come back for the time being. You say you are angry or not."

Tang Chao looked at Shi with a smile, "I don't know that. But when Brother Cong sent someone to send a letter back, he brought back the things of that idiot in our family. In the past, every time someone sent something back to the capital, it was always Short of catties and short of two. More than half of the good things have been found by others, and we can’t say anything. We dare not say it in the reply letter, for fear that the fool will do something wrong on the spur of the moment. Come.

This time, not only was there nothing missing, but there was even some more leather.Speaking of which, I haven't thanked Brother Cong properly yet.I don't know how Cong is doing well there? "

"You man, what time is this, and you still call him a fool every day. Even if you don't like his name, didn't the king of Yue give him another name? Your man is now a military officer of the imperial court. But don’t say that. Fortunately, this is at home, and it’s better to go out in the future.” When Shi Shi heard this, he blamed Tang Chao.

Maybe it's the child who grew up beside Shi Shi since childhood.Shi Shi has more intimacy with the Tang Dynasty.Even in the later years when they got married, Tang Chao did not widen the distance because he came to the mansion every now and then to ask An to sell it well.

When he entered the mansion again, Tang Chao still lived in Shi's courtyard, and this time he directly accompanied Baoyu to live in the Bisha cabinet.That's a step closer to gaining the upper hand.

I dare not say anything else, at least in terms of not touching the major issues of the Jia family, the Tang Dynasty has always been more embarrassing than the Xing family.Of course, in Shi's heart, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed when major events are involved.

The Xing family is like this, and the Zhang family is no exception.

How could it be possible to be the mistress of a big family with the cheerful look Tang Chao saw every day.Of course, Tang Chao knew in his heart that the old lady Shi Shi was by no means a simple and easy person, but after so many years, he really didn't see what the old lady really showed, so now it's more just hazy hazy feeling.

"Understood, I'll pay attention next time. The old lady hasn't said what's going on with Brother Cong over there." Tang Chao also discovered that she would always subconsciously call Li Gou Dandan.Thinking about it now, it really needs to be changed.Otherwise, if they really go out to socialize one day, they will be stupid, idiots, and idiots one by one.That was the biggest joke in the capital.

This has to be changed, it has to be changed.And dare as soon as possible.

"It's said in the letter that I'm going to talk to your dog, uh," Shi stopped talking at this point.Just now she just talked about the Tang Dynasty in a straight-forward manner, but now she is talking about being bald.

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and smiled, then as if she hadn't heard anything, she said with a smile, "Oh, that kid Cong'er, I don't even know what to say about him. He has been a wild horse since he was a child. The two brothers are half sensible."

"Cong'er is not like what you said." She glanced sideways at Mrs. Shi, who was a little unhappy.She doesn't like to hear others say that her children and grandchildren are not good at all, even if that person is her own grandson's mother.

"That's right, what's wrong with Brother Cong. If you, a mother, don't like it anymore, just give it to me. I like to take advantage of it the most. Who wouldn't like to pick up a son for nothing. Old lady, Don't you think so?"

"Hmph, let's ignore the elders. Let me tell you, Cong'er is with your man now. It is said that the food is good and the house is good. Although it is not as good as at home, it has a different flavor. Cong'er believes The doctor also said that the meat they eat there is bigger than our fists. Take a bite, it is crispy, salty, delicious and gluttonous. Oh, yes, it’s from everyone. Let someone tell the kitchen that I will eat it at noon today Eat this too."

"What's the big deal? It's just an old lady. Our family can't make such a big piece of stew." After joking, Mrs. Zhang winked at the servants beside her.

The girl smiled and quietly backed out.The old lady wants a chunk of stew.If you want it to be stewed crispy, fragrant and salty, then you have to start the stew right now.The fire is burning, and it can be tasted after stewing for an hour.

Another old lady has bad teeth in recent years, and the stewing time of the meat is not short, and she can't bite anymore.Then lose interest.

After talking about Li Jue's marriage, Tang Jing's Lu Chi, and Jia Cong's current life, everyone mentioned Li Ning's marriage.

"Your sister Ning is thirteen this year, right?"

"The old lady really has a good memory. She will be thirteen after the new year."

"It's also the age to talk about marriage. What do you think? I heard from your eldest wife that she wants to hire your sister Ning and give it to Brother Cong?"

Tang Chao was taken aback for a moment, unable to react. "This, uh, that." She said that she couldn't afford it, and said that sister Ning was not worthy.These are not things a mother would like to say.But let's not talk about this, the time is too hasty, and I can't think of an appropriate statement for a while.

"Which point is Cong'er not worthy of your sister Ning? Is it family status or appearance? The old lady is in charge of our brother Cong." Seeing Tang Chao like this, Zhang smiled and beat the dog in the water.

Mrs. Zhang knew why Tang Chao was unwilling to make this marriage.Marrying a daughter is high, marrying a daughter-in-law is low.It is the characteristic of today's marriage.But how can a family who loves girls seriously find someone with much better conditions than their own for the girl?

But Sister Ning grew up under her watch, and she and Cong'er are also childhood sweethearts, a friendship like childhood sweethearts.What's more, she doesn't expect Cong'er to marry a daughter-in-law who is too good to come back.

There is such an illegitimate daughter of the prince standing there in the family, and the family who is too good does not agree to marry the first daughter.

As for the concubine, how could her legitimate son marry a concubine who was not well-bred?

Finally, there was a candidate for a daughter-in-law that both their mothers were satisfied with.How could she let it go.Her son, the mother-in-law, must be taken today.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang thought of her second daughter-in-law's incomprehensible father again. Looking at all the signs, she probably gave up the demon moth again. She should settle the marriage of the third son first.

In case there are too many nights and dreams, something will go wrong.

"Well, the old lady told me, and the old lady thinks it's very good. You also grew up in the mansion. You don't know what kind of family we are. Sister Ning is a good child, and so is my old lady. I like it. I'm sure I won't wrong her."

.. ......

This topic was brought up in public, so Tang Chao had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree to the marriage.

If it is not brought up in public, it doesn't matter what you say or how you do it, but now that it is brought up, if you don't want to affect the relationship between the two families, you can only let this marriage go.

Don't say anything about the absence of Li Ning's father. It is estimated that even the servants of the Jia family will not believe such words.Why bother to talk about it.

But at least this marriage has its advantages.At least for the sake of their family's relationship with Jia's family, it is better than marrying into someone else's family.

She is also familiar with Mrs. Zhang.Li Ning is also very clear about the personnel relations in the Rongguo Mansion.Marrying here is better than marrying into those people whose eyes are smeared.

In a blink of an eye, Tang Chao remembered his daughter's peeing behavior again, and lowered his head, not daring to let Mrs. Zhang discover the full sympathy for her.

Her daughter is definitely a big killer.Mrs. Zhang's upbringing, the bearing of a big family, and the scheming of a small citizen are probably better than her future mother-in-law.

Ma'am, are you sure you are marrying back a daughter-in-law, not an ancestor?

.. ......

Tang Chao nodded and agreed to the marriage, and Zhang Shi just raised his eyebrows.She already knew how to get Tang Chao to accept this marriage.Look, isn't this done?

"Thank you, old lady, for speaking up for us, Cong'er. You see, as long as we detain the girl and her mother, won't we have a daughter-in-law?"

Zhang's words made Tang Chao and Shi's laugh. "I love him, and I love Sister Ning too. For the old man, the bride price must be missed. If it is missing, I can't rely on it."

"Oh, don't worry, the old lady. Sister Ning is only thirteen this year. The daughter-in-law will be engaged next year. The clothes in the dowry are all embroidered by the embroiderer. Mother-in-law, do you think this is good? ?”

The words about mother and family made Tang Chao feel a little embarrassed.However, he still nodded and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Madam, for taking care of her. We appreciate it."

"Haha, okay. Okay. You guys should make up your mind, and you must not wrong Sister Ning and Brother Cong. The old woman doesn't care about these things. Tomorrow, I will send someone to bring Sister Ning here. Yu'er said yesterday that she wanted to She has become a sister. By the way, the ex-boyfriend is here, talking about girl Yun. Boss daughter-in-law, you send someone to bring her too."

"Don't worry, old lady. I'll send someone over there early in the morning. Baoyu and his uncle and nephew just moved to the front yard, and their room happens to be given to Sister Ning and Girl Yun."

"Hey, ma'am, can't sister Ning live with me?" Yingchun, who had just returned to the room after class, heard this sentence as soon as she came in, and asked subconsciously."Now they are all big girls, so naturally we have to live separately."

"Oh," Yingchun replied with some regret.

Just after the new year, Jia Zhi is more anxious than anyone else to move the yard.Zhang and Shui had no choice but to move their uncle and nephew regardless of the cold weather.

After a winter's contact, the children in Linxing's affection for cousin Baoyu and nephew Jia Zhina rose sharply, and they wished they could sleep together and eat together.

Seeing that the two of them were about to move, she also rubbed Jia's mother to follow her.Lin Sheng is only so old, how could he be allowed to move out.It's hard to say anything before it stops.

But even so, Lin Sheng spent seven out of ten days laying his bed at Jia Zhi's place.But everyone just opened one eye and closed one eye.

As soon as her younger brother came here, he only played with other brothers, Daiyu felt extremely uncomfortable.But when he thought that even if his younger brother still seemed to play with him at home, and he didn't have so much time to accompany her, the jealousy went away.

In the future, the younger brother will honor the ancestors and support the lintel.Naturally, what he wants to learn cannot be the same as what she learns.She wants to learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting according to her interests, and female red cooking skills.I also need to follow the lessons arranged by my aunt and learn courses such as housekeeper director, antique appraisal, clothing material and fur appreciation, etc.

Alas, everyone is too busy.

Opposite the Yingchun three people, there were originally three rooms, one for each of Baoyu's uncle and nephew, and the rest were the rooms of the Tang Dynasty.Although Baoyu moved to the front yard, the Tang Dynasty room was not moved.

In the second half of the year, before and after Li Jue gets married, Tang Chao will move to live at home.Secondly, Tang Chao also felt that she had protected Baoyu too comprehensively before.Now Baoyu should gradually become independent.Moving the yard is an opportunity.

Baoyu's temperament is still a bit soft. Although people who learn martial arts have some perseverance, some things are innate.That is, it is born, and it is too difficult to change the day after tomorrow.

Now Baoyu's yard is handed over to Baoyu himself.Whether it is personnel affairs, or some daily pocket money given to Baoyu by the Tang Dynasty.She hoped that through these hands-off actions, she could cultivate Baoyu's housekeeping skills.

In Tang Chao's heart, she extremely despised Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu, father and son.These two have really achieved the standard of keeping their ears shut and only reading sage books.

The backyard was bloody and rainy, but they really didn't notice it.This is also a talent.

They are both father and son, but Tang Chao didn't want Baoyu to be like father and brother.Just think of the story in the original book that Xiren asked Baoyu to promise her three things by redeeming her body to go home.Tang Chao was a little anxious.

Although she is also from a family background.But she still understands the general principles.Since you have sold your body and want to redeem it, you cannot redeem it with money.That depends on the will of the master.

Especially servants like Xiren who have sold a death contract.

Because this kind of servant has sold the dead contract, the master will treat him differently, at least gain more trust from the master than those servants who have a living contract.Once you come and go, you will know some secret things about the main family.How could such a servant girl let her redeem herself and leave the house?

But the naive Baoyu was bluffed.Foolishly being teased to make a wish.What's more, Tang Chao was most dissatisfied with the fact that he had a nightlife at such a young age.

She had heard from Yingchun's nuns before that almost all of them had learned to look at 'faces' in the palace.Which girl is naughty, you can see it clearly with just one glance.

After knowing these things, Tang Chao studied them very seriously.Of course, in view of the status of the Tang Dynasty, Yingchun's mother did not ask her for any ceremony of apprenticeship.

After learning this skill, Tang Chao felt more at ease to put Baoyu outside.No matter how many female wolves there are, Tang Chao is not afraid.She only needs to go to Baoyu's yard to go back to work every day, and check to see if anyone will commit crimes against the wind.

Emperor Kangxi, what kind of person is that, he can have a woman at the age of eleven or twelve.It is still possible for women to have children until they are in their sixties.Is that comparable to someone like Baoyu who is "nosy" and waters the water indiscriminately?

She has read the data in modern times. The royal family in the Qing Dynasty were not tall, and those who could reach 1.6 meters were rare.From Tang Chao's point of view, this was the reason why the night life was too early.

Another one, because of the influence and education of the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and the front yard rules established by the Zhang family.Except for the two older lovely and charming people around Baoyu, the others are servants and two rough envoys in the yard.

Even Qingwen was left in the old lady's yard and sent directly to Tang Chao's side.The Zhang family and the Shi family directly gave Qingwen's contract of sale to the Tang Dynasty.

"You are also an official's wife. How can you not even have a waiter around you. It just so happens that Qingwen looks good. She is good at embroidery, which is rare. When Nanny Lai gave it to me, I fell in love with her." I have learned her craftsmanship. Now I give it to you, and I can do a good job by your side."

So different from the other little girls around Baoyu and Jia Zhi, Qingwen directly became the big girl around Tang Chao.Still tune.taught.

As for Qingwen, she has no idea.When she was waiting in Baoyu's room, there was a charming person in front of her, so she couldn't see Baoyu's face, and listened to Tang Chao's orders on big and small matters.Now it is directly under the management of the Tang Dynasty. Although he is no longer a servant of the Jia family, his status has risen.

The monthly money she is getting now is the monthly money of the first-class girl next to the girl.Seeing what the mansion means, as long as her current master doesn't completely leave Jia's mansion for a day, Jia's mansion will give her a monthly payment.And when they returned to Tang Chao's side on the first day, Tang Chao also agreed, and their Tang family, uh, no, the Li family will also pay a monthly fee.Although not as much as the Jia family, it is still an income.

After coming here, Qingwen couldn't be more satisfied.

When she was in the second master Bao's room before, she felt that the Lai family left too early. If she could gain a firm foothold in the second master Bao's room before leaving, the situation would definitely not be what it is now.

At this time, Qingwen also thought of her cousin who went with the Lai family.In my heart, I complained that the Lai family did not behave properly.Even if she wanted to leave, she would leave her cousin behind.

How pitiful it is to leave her alone in the capital.

Qingwen has a straightforward temper, she pressed hard directly, but she didn't show it.But after arriving at Tang Chao's side, he actually picked up the things around Tang Chao one by one.It's a matter of course.

"Xiren, this girl, looked appropriate in the past. Why is she acting a little frivolously now?" Shi frowned when she heard Zhang say that she would pick her up tomorrow. Said to the two people chatting with him in the room.

Mrs. Zhang was a little puzzled, and looked up at Mrs. Shi suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with this girl?"

Tang Chao understood it immediately.Xiren reported Shi Xiangyun's grievances, but he swept away the face of the historian and slandered the mistress of the historian.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Yuanyang, who nodded in a subtle way.

This little girl is very narrow-minded.
