[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter No.16

After complaining, Zhang's eyelids were half closed to hide the cold light in the depths of his pupils.Since Jia Lian's master asked Lian'er to tell her about this at this time, he thought it was very meaningful.Thinking about the Lin family's single biography from generation to generation, and thinking about her sister-in-law Jia Min's not-so-good body, Mrs. Zhang suddenly had a clear understanding.

Although it is nothing compared to Lin Ruhai of the Zhang family, his official position as a patrol censor is enough to illustrate his position in the heart of the Holy One.If it was just because of his status as Tanhua and Jia Daishan, Zhang believes that these are not enough to make the Holy Majesty trust him so much, there may be other reasons for it.

If Jia Min's pregnancy can make good friends with Lin Ruhai this time, even if he can't be completely pulled from the second room to the first room, he should be a little more neutral, at least not so biased.

Gently patted Jia Lian who was restless in his arms, and Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and gave him a comforting smile.Even if Jia Min wanted to know that she was pregnant, she shouldn't be in such a hurry. She is not a husband, so who would believe it if she just said it with empty teeth?

She turned her head and gave a gesture with her eyes, and Nanny Song, who was waiting behind, hurried forward in small steps.After bowing her head and listening to grandma's instructions, she quietly walked out of the hall towards the big kitchen.

Thinking that Jia Min will leave the capital soon and won't see her for several years, Jia Shishi reluctantly holds her hand.Later, Jia Yuanchun, who has been relying on Jia Min to show off her cuteness and usually makes her love her, also made her vent her anger. Although at the beginning she had the idea that if Yuan Chun and Jia Min get along more often, she might be able to attract a child, but Yuan Chun's No matter how precious life is, it's still a girl...

The corner of his eyes glanced down at Jia Lian who was obediently staying in Zhang's arms, Jia Shi could not help but feel a little muttered.It would be great if Zhu'er was here. Zhu'er is smart and can study, but unfortunately Jia Zheng called her away.But it would be good if Zhu'er could get his uncle's advice, after all, Lin Ruhai is a prostitute.Min'er and Lin Ruhai are still newly married, and sooner or later they will have a child, so don't be so anxious.

Besides, there is nothing wrong with flowering first and then fruiting.

Jia Shishi directly ignored the fact that Lin Ruhai only married Jia Min when he was in his twenties because he continued to obey his parents' filial piety.No matter how much he loves Jia Min, he is already married, so naturally he is not as important as his grandson.

Mrs. Zhang held Jia Lian's hand and observed Jia Shishi's expression. Seeing the impatience in her eyes towards Jia Yuanchun, Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and curled her lips into a sneer.Her mother-in-law looks very shrewd on the surface, but she is actually a frighteningly selfish wife.

She said that she loves Jia Min the most, but because Jia Min is smarter than a man, and the Duke Jia Daishan values ​​this old woman more than his two sons, so she has no choice but to do so.When Jia Min got married, she was Zhang's housekeeper. Others didn't know about it. Didn't she, the housekeeper's grandma, know about Jia Min's dowry?

Jia Daishan gave Jia Min a wedding with ten miles of red makeup, but Jia Shishi was extremely unwilling.If Jia Daishan hadn't been staring at Jia Min's dowry all the time, he probably wouldn't have known how much Jia Shishi had changed in private.At that time, Jia Shi wanted to use her as a weapon, so Zhang didn't want to do this kind of job of making wedding dresses for others and offending others.

So it's normal for Jia Shishi to hate her as the eldest daughter-in-law. She not only affected Jia Shishi's status in Rongguo Mansion, but also cut off her many sources of income in disguise.

Jia Min didn't know about that before, if it weren't for Jia Min's personality, could the mother and daughter have such a harmonious atmosphere?It's a pity that this matter can't be disclosed to Jia Min now, after all, the two are mother and daughter, and she thought she, the sister-in-law, was provoking their mother-daughter relationship.

With a slight force on his hand, Zhang told himself not to worry.One day, she will pay back the torture Jia Shishi and Mrs. Wang put her through.Until then, she has to be patient and patient!

It happened that Nanny Song came in and whispered something in her ear, she stood up with a smile on her face, and when Jia Shishi looked over, she said softly: "Madam, lunch is ready, you see it's now Pass it up or wait a little longer?"

"Where are my uncle and the others?" Jia Shishi asked.

"Second Master just came to send a message that he brought Brother Zhu to entertain Young Master in the study outside." Mrs. Zhang said with a low eyebrow.

Jia Shishi nodded: "Then let's pass on the meal, let's have a good get together, I don't know when we will have dinner together next time."

Jia Min hurriedly said: "My wife doesn't need to do that, Suzhou is not too far from the capital. My master always returns to Beijing to report on his work, and then he can go back to Beijing with him to greet his wife."

"Look, this daughter of mine is filial piety." Jia Shishi gratifiedly supported Jia Min's hand and sat down beside the table and chair that had just been placed, "So among the children, the one I love the most is mine. Min'er, you guys, don't be jealous."

Jia Min sat on Jia Shishi's left hand side, Jia Yuanchun sat on Jia Shishi's right hand side, Jia Lian sat below Jia Min's, Zhang Shi and Mrs. Wang stood aside, eating soup and holding rice.

As for the rule of serving Jia Shishi's meals, although Zhang's defamation, she has done it so that she can't be picky at all. She waited on the meal, and Jia Min was still sitting while she was standing after getting married.

The rules of a daughter-in-law serving her mother-in-law have existed since ancient times, but such rules as eating and grooming are mostly superficial rules in scholarly families.Usually, the rules will be stricter seven days before the new daughter-in-law enters the house, and after that, the daughter-in-law will be able to sit down after serving one or two chopsticks dishes to the mother-in-law.

There are so many maids and women who don't have to let their daughters-in-law serve them. Is this intentional to show their dignity or is it something else?

The various behaviors of Rongguo Mansion have already made Zhang's panic from the first marriage in to now indifferent, but when educating Jia Lian, she also pays attention to the difference between noble and noble.Jia Lian's target is a civil servant, so naturally he has to follow Qinggui, otherwise he will be excluded like Jia Jing.

Unlike Dafang's, which is relatively bland, Jia Shishi's taste is heavier, and most of the dishes on the table are relatively greasy.One of the hot mutton dishes had a particularly strong fishy smell, which made Jia Min, who married into the Lin family and ate Jiangnan dishes, couldn't help frowning.

Noticing Jia Min's discomfort, Zhang's eyes were lowered, and he scooped up a bowl of crucian carp tofu soup and brought it to her: "Grandma, try this."

Jia Min smiled excitedly. Although she has only been married to the Lin family for more than a year, her tastes have almost been assimilated by Lin Ruhai.For foods like mutton that can't help but have a strong smell and even increase body odor after eating, she doesn't touch it much after getting married.But she also knows that mutton is one of Jia Shishi's favorite foods, and now that the weather is getting colder, Rongguo Mansion naturally cannot do without this dish.

But, why does this hot mutton smell more pungent than usual today?

The Lin family's collection of books is vastly different from that of the Jia family, who was born in a noble family. Of course, Jia Min, who loves books, will not let it go.Usually, when Lin Ruhai was on duty in the Imperial Academy, Jia Min would go to the study to look for various books after finishing handling the housekeeper's affairs.

The Lin family has always had a short life expectancy and a lot of children, so they put more emphasis on health preservation. There are many books of this kind in the study.

It was also after reading these books that Jia Min realized that the vegetable oil that Jia’s family usually eats is not to mention heavy fish and meat, and it’s okay to eat it occasionally. Eating it all year round is not good for your health, and it’s even worse for the elderly. big.It's not that Jia Min didn't mention it to Jia Shishi, but it's a pity that Jia Shishi just laughed it off.

As a married woman, Jia Min had nothing to do about it, and it was only at this time that she realized a little bit of the helplessness of the sister-in-law.Although, the problems of her natal family and husband's family are completely different from Zhang's.

Compared with Mrs. Wang who only knew a few words and could read the account book, Jia Min had a much closer relationship with Mrs. Zhang when she was not married.She also secretly regretted that her sister-in-law married her elder brother Jia Min, but unfortunately she didn't have any right to speak about it.Just like her marriage with Lin Ruhai, it was also arranged by Jia Daishan when she didn't know it at all.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Jia Daishan wanted to change the family of Rongguo Mansion, so he chose Lin Ruhai, who came from a scholarly family, instead of those nobles that Jia Shishi favored, or her life now is probably similar to Zhang's .

Jia Min, who was trained by Jia Daishan according to the lady of the scholarly family, has many habits and ways of doing things that are quite different from those of the nobles.

After scooping up soup for Jia Min, Mrs. Zhang scooped up another bowl for Jia Shishi and the two younger ones.Jia Shishi saw it clearly. Although she didn't like the eldest daughter-in-law, she had to admit that the eldest daughter-in-law did a good job in every aspect so that she couldn't make mistakes.

If Mrs. Zhang is her second daughter-in-law... Jia Shishi sighed deeply from the bottom of her heart as she glanced at Mrs. Wang with a straight face.If it hadn't been for Jia Daishan's insistence, wouldn't it be better for Mrs. Zhang to marry Zheng'er.Zheng'er loves to read, and with Zhang's family behind him, how can he still...

When Jia Shishi was complaining about Jia Daishan, there was a sound of vomiting.Frowning and looking, she saw Jia Min covering her mouth and retching to the side, Zhang stood beside her worriedly, patted her back, and said something in a low voice.Looking at the dishes on the table, Jia Shishi squinted his eyes.

Mrs. Wang tightly clenched the silk scarf in her hand. Jia Min's suspected pregnancy was not good news for her at all, and she didn't want this sister-in-law who didn't deal with her to have a good life at all!Jia Min is so lucky, not to mention marrying Tanhua, Jane is still in the emperor's heart.Now it looks like she is pregnant again. If she gives birth to a fat boy, Jia Min will have a firm foothold in the Lin family.

Thinking about it, there are only Lin Ruhai and Jia Min in the Lin family, and the entire Lin family is ruled by two people.Thinking about the Rongguo Mansion again, she couldn't even touch the butler.The last time Zhang was seriously ill and managed to touch it, but I don't know where Zhang's good luck came from, the imperial doctor hired by her natal family actually cured her poison!

After Jia Min stopped feeling sick and took a few sips of tea to rinse his mouth, Mrs. Zhang wrinkled her eyebrows slightly and came to Jia Shi's side and whispered, "Ma'am, my aunt's life is not always on time, but this time it's almost two o'clock. The moon is not here yet, do you want to invite an imperial physician to show my aunt?"
