old lady in red

Jia Amnesty was very grateful to his mother and wanted to be more intimate with her.

It's a pity that there has been an awkward relationship between their mother and son for 20 years.

For a while, it is difficult to reverse the awkwardness and find the tacit understanding between mother and child that has been lost for many years.

Therefore, although Jia She has no resentment towards his mother in the past now, and he wants to be filial to his mother from the bottom of his heart.

However, once he is alone with his mother, he will be very uncomfortable.

Not as good as Jia Zheng and Jia Mu.

Shi Mei looked at Jia She who was sitting upright, only his eyes flickered from time to time.

Despite her initial formality, Shi Mei regards Jia She and Jia Zheng as partners.

Meeting a mother and child is like meeting a subordinate.

Moreover, after three years of getting along, after Shi Mei understood the nature of the two of them, getting along became more and more calm.

However, Shi Mei knew that Jia Amnesty's visit to Rongqing Hall was not as comfortable as Jia Zheng's visit.

Usually mother and child get along alone, only when Shi Mei gives orders, Jia She's IQ perception is normal.

Otherwise, Jia Amnesty would be stiff and nervous.

Facing Shi Mei is like facing an unfamiliar Shangguan, respectful and distant.

However, as long as there is a third party present, whether it is Jia Zheng Jia Min, or the Zhang family, or even Jia Lian and Jia Zhu brothers.

Jia Amnesty will be much more natural.

Shi Mei lamented that the estrangement between mother and child was so long that Jia She didn't know how to get along with her mother normally.

Shi Mei ordered Jia Amnesty to be scented with a faint fragrance: "Try it, this green tea is not as mellow as black tea, but it has a sweet fragrance."

Nowadays, there are two kinds of green teas popular among nobles, Longjing tea and Shashaxiang tea.

Most people still prefer brick tea.

Compared with the strong red brick tea, Shi Mei prefers light green tea.

Shi Mei used to drink strong tea when she took the high school entrance examination or worked overtime and stayed up late.

Now I no longer need to stay up late, and because I often suffered from insomnia when I first arrived, and my diet was light, I have developed a habit in three years, and I no longer eat strong tea.

Jia Amnesty savored the product carefully, and nodded in agreement: "Mother's taste has always been good!"

Shi Mei asked: "The Longjing Jingsha fragrance I brought to your mother-in-law last time, does she still like it?"

Jia She hurriedly put down the teacup and wanted to get up.

Shi Mei hurriedly beckoned: "Just sit down, and there are no outsiders. There are so many rules for a direct mother and son."

Jia She then relaxed and said, "Mother-in-law likes it very much, and is very grateful to mother for caring about it. On the first night of the departure, mother-in-law found her son and asked her to bring some mushrooms, fungus and wild honey to her. It is not a respect to say it is game from the border village." , let mother not dislike her."

Shi Mei is a person who knows the goods: "The wild honey in the Eastern Province is a treasure!"

"The people in the eastern province call this honey a hundred herbs. When they are sick and have no money, they drink it with honey..."

At this point, Jia Amnesty suddenly stood up and bowed: "Mother, forgive me, son is not... son is saying that this honey is good for health..."

Shi Mei waved again: "Sit down, I don't care too much. Are your father-in-law and mother-in-law okay?"

Jia She told him to sit down and said: "I suffered some crimes in the first year. When they were dispatched to Yuguan, the father-in-law was so arrogant and arrogant that he didn't bother to ask for help, and he didn't show the letters from our house and his father's name badge. Therefore, they and other Human-like labor, digging ditches and carrying soil, moving grain and grass, even farming, herding horses and sheep, cooking and feeding pigs, everything.

Once, my father-in-law was caught in the rain, contracted a cold, and became very ill. The lieutenant below refused to let him recover from his illness. The elder brother had no choice but to take out his father's famous stab to see General Bai, and bowed his head to the general for help.General Bai accepted the famous assassin and arranged for his father-in-law to be diagnosed by a military doctor.

After the father-in-law recovered, he went to the general's mansion to express his thanks to the general.

The younger brother-in-law became the school teacher of the general's mansion, and the father-in-law became the clerk of the general's mansion. "

Shi Mei nodded: "People pay attention to fate, no one owes anyone! Although our ancestors had a friendship with General Bai and helped each other on the battlefield, there was no special kindness.

Both the Zhang family and Rongfu were implicated in the case of abolishing the prince, and their identities were sensitive.

He sold our family's favor is a high righteousness, and it is human nature to be wise and protect one's life.

If the Zhang family doesn't take the initiative to admit their in-law relationship with our family, General Bai really has no obligation to take the initiative to take care of them.

Fortunately, your uncle is not too pedantic and bowed his head for his father's life.

Otherwise, you, old man, live in such a bitter and cold place, it's really hard for you! "

Jia She said: "Before father-in-law asked for help, General Bai's arrangement was very loyal. Mother-in-law, two mistresses, three Young Master Sun, and four Miss Sun were not treated as accomplices, and no errands were arranged. It's just that there were no special arrangements. Take care. At first they ate big pots of rice, but later the Wu family sent food and vegetables, and General Bai tacitly allowed them to build two thatched huts outside the camp as kitchens. Ordinary people don't get this kind of treatment.

It was also because of this that the eldest brother had the confidence to go to General Bai for help. "

Shi Mei nodded: "This General Bai is a trustworthy person. From now on, whenever there is something wrong with his Bai family, no matter whether he asks for help or not, we will help if we can."

But Jia She said: "General Bai is just accompanying the general, far away from the capital, not belonging to the frontier fortress, and his family members are also in office, unlike the Krupp Army Guard General, whose family members are pledged in Beijing."

Shi Mei nodded: "His behavior can be seen, he is a smart person, you can learn a little bit, there is no harm."

He asked again, "Did the fifth room make any fuss?"

When he mentioned this, Jia She completely let go of the uncomfortable feeling just now, and spoke clearly and calmly, with a more composed expression: "Now they know how powerful they are, and living with the [-] acres of Susukida I left behind is completely hopeless. If you only go out but not in, you have to pay taxes on a dime basis.

The fifth aunt is also considered a powerful person. She sold all the servants she brought over and treated the three daughters-in-law as servants.

It is said that she took away all the valuables from her daughter-in-law, bought [-] acres of farmland, and forced her son and daughter-in-law to eat for themselves.

In August, Uncle Wu heard the news from somewhere, and went to the capital to look for us, but I didn't see him.

He quarreled loudly at the gate of the general's mansion, scolding our brother for oppressing Liangshan, and his six relatives refused to recognize him, so he was sent to the county government by little general Bai, where he was detained for pretending to be an official relative.

Later, Jia Tan brought 500 taels of silver to manage, saying that his father had lost his mind.

I asked them to lock him up for five days before releasing him.

Wang Shanbao stared at them for two months. The family was terrified and honest. They dared not go out easily. "

Shi Mei nodded: "Well done. If they live in peace and take root from now on, it may not be the good fortune of their fifth family."

Then he said, "Does your father-in-law have anything to say about the sweet potato?"

Jia She said: "My father-in-law learned that the sweet potato is a new variety brought back by the Chen family from across the sea, and that the sweet potato used to grow to the size of a bowl. He suggested that the county magistrate Gao try to plant it. It's just that the county magistrate Gao thought that this crop was imported. For more than a hundred years, there is nothing wonderful about it, and I was afraid that it would be thankless, so I rejected it."

Jia She then asked: "I heard Mrs. Zhang say that your mother seems to be very interested in sweet potatoes, and even sent Jia Meite to Haijiang. Do you want to try growing sweet potatoes?"

Jia Amnesty is really not stupid, transparent and not pedantic, he is decisive in doing things, and he has courage and skill.As long as you walk on the right path, you will be successful through experience, and you will not worry about being unable to support the lintel!

Shi Mei was in a good mood: "That's exactly what I meant."

Jia She felt that it was not appropriate for her mother to show her face in public, and she was going to Beijing again in April, and said, "If you have something to do, you can tell your son to do it. I heard that the small village is very dilapidated, so you should not go."

Shi Mei waved her hand: "You don't need to worry about it. Jia Mei will help me in planting the sweet potatoes. It's up to you brothers to prepare for Qiu Wei."

Jia Amnesty was very surprised: "Didn't you say before that you want to go to Beijing in advance?"

When Shi Mei hadn't found any sweet potatoes before, she was planning to go to Beijing in advance to do some sorting. Once she came and went to the household department, she squeezed her nose and confessed the debts. She not only laundered the salt tea money, but also laundered the Bairong Mansion.

Furthermore, walk around with the palaces of the four major counties to build momentum for Jia She's smooth attack on the prince.

It doesn't matter whether it's a baron or a viscount, anyway, I can't be a shoddy general anymore!

Shi Mei said: "Before I was worried about your Juejue assessment. I plan to go to Beijing in advance to do one or two things.

It's just that later I heard Jin Da say that your riding and archery level is no problem for you to take the martial arts exam to be a martial arts master.

Once you have the status of a martial artist, it is no problem to attack the noble.

I think the cultivation of sweet potatoes is enough for us to stand on our own court, and avoid getting involved with the four kings and eight princes if we can.

Emperor Jiahe has always been wary of cliques, so we should not use the power of the four princes unless it is absolutely necessary. "

The four kings and eight princes jointly elected Jia Yuanchun, but in the end they dragged the Rongguo Mansion to death.

Shi Mei will never do such a stupid thing again!

However, Jia Amnesty lacked confidence: "Do you really think that this little sweet potato can save the world from suffering hunger? You are just a woman in the backyard, all you want to do is enjoy the blessings..."

This is to worry about Shi Mei making a fool of herself!

Shi Mei suddenly became angry: "What's the matter with women? Without women's hard work, how can you men grow up?

Can't women do great things?

How many men can match the contribution of Ban Zhao and Cai Wenji?

Then there is Huang Daopo, without her inventing the spinning wheel, how can you men dress up like this? "

Jia Amnesty was stunned, he was not only inferior to these women!

Much worse than his mother!

Jia She hurriedly made a bow: "The son is wrong, and if the mother says it will be done, it will definitely be done. If you have something to do, just give orders, and the son will obey everything."

"That's right, you will have more confidence if you support me!"

Shi Mei was very happy: "That's why I came here with you. Also, let me tell your father-in-law that the Rong Mansion is going to try growing sweet potatoes."

If Jia Zheng hadn't said that Mr. Zhang proposed to let the Rong Mansion try planting, Shi Mei would not have informed Mr. Zhang.

Now that we know that Mr. Zhang mentioned it and that the Rong Mansion decided to try planting it, we can no longer hide it.

In the future, Shi Mei will not erase Mr. Zhang's contributions.

If after Mr. Zhang kindly mentioned something, the Rong Mansion remained silent, and it would look ugly.

Moreover, the revival of the Zhang family will only benefit the Rong Mansion!
