[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

But Jia Mu only said that she had no one to talk to in the house, so Jia Min couldn't say anything else, so I just asked her to be at ease in daily life, eat what she wants, and use what she wants: "I think Lian's daughter-in-law is also a person who knows how to behave. , I will definitely not treat the old lady badly on this."

She will not treat herself badly, but she will treat the second room badly.

Mother Jia remembered that since Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng took over the family affairs, she refused to talk about Jia Zheng's money-clearing business, adding another layer of annoyance.Pian Jia Lian said with righteousness and strictness: If those gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty were hired for the mansion, it is natural that the money should be paid by the public.Who let those few people only know how to pat on horse papers around Jia Zheng every day, when Jia Lian wanted to ask them to write a thank you note but refused to help, why didn't Jia Lian take the short?

There was also that Feng girl, who refused to send anything more to the second room except for the public order, saying that she did not dare to break the rules.Even if she wanted to reconcile one or two from it, Wang Xifeng could still say ten or eight reasons, all of which lost the original awe of herself and her closeness to Mrs. Wang.

What rules, clearly thinking about embarrassing others.That's not it, it's not that she knows...Mother Jia has to admit that the second daughter-in-law has gone too far in some things, which made Feng girl even resent herself.

Seeing that the old lady was only thinking about something, Jia Min asked softly, "Old lady, let someone fetch water to freshen up." No wonder the eldest brother always thinks that the girl in the old lady's room can't serve her, and there is no one for such a long time Bring in some water.

Awakened by the sound, Jia's mother nodded weakly to Jia Min: "Don't worry, it's just going through it slowly. When your father passed away, it was more difficult than it is now. Didn't you survive the same?"

Hearing the old lady mention his father suddenly, Jia Min couldn't open his mouth to call someone.She is an old woman, she has been loved by her parents since she was a child, and before she got married, she had to live with wind and rain in the mansion, and because of her noble status, she was also a star-studded figure when she went out to socialize.

It wasn't until she got married that she realized that the love of her parents sometimes made her vision too high, and she was unwilling to let go of her body when interacting with Qingliu's family, but the Lin family had very little contact with Xungui, which made her confused.Fortunately, after her mother-in-law left, her husband and wife had kept their filial piety for three years, and Lin Ruhai would occasionally mention the rules of cleanliness with him, which was better.After Lin Ruhai takes office overseas, because Lin Ruhai's official position is there, others dare not pick him.

But there are also people who criticize Huai for having no children from time to time.

"Old lady, there is one thing I have always kept in mind. If I didn't meet the old lady today, I wouldn't say a word in the letter." Jia Min looked at the old lady again, and remembered that he was still embarrassed by the gossip for more than ten years. Ping, let me ask the last question: "In the first few years of my marriage, my family sent me fabrics and decorations from time to time. I remember that my sister-in-law was no longer good at that time, so who handled it?"

Mother Jia was caught off guard by the sudden question, and subconsciously asked, "But there are problems with those things?"

The word "also" has a lot of meaning, Jia Min hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

Mother Jia immediately realized: "Who is who? It's just that I'm afraid you won't get used to the Lin family. How do you use the things in their house? Naturally, if there is anything good, someone will give you a copy. That's all. Nian is far away, otherwise I can take care of Yu'er and Brother Kuan."

"As expected, my mother picked something for me?" Jia Min had already stood up, staring fixedly at Jia's mother, wishing to tell the truth from her mouth.Mother Jia knew that she was Jia Min's own mother, so how could there be any overnight feud between mother and daughter?It's better not to take care of anything by yourself than to make Zheng'er brothers and sisters unreliable.

That prodigal bitch, that prodigal bitch!Mother Jia scolded Mrs. Wang in her heart, and there was a smile on her face: "I didn't pick it myself, how can I let you use it with confidence? When you are at home, the things you always use are no different from those of the princess. I am afraid that others will not be as good as you." meaning."

Just now Jia Amnesty stepped on the second room in front of her, and said nothing to the old lady, Jia Min felt a little strange - this elder brother of his is a bit of a mess, but he was also brought up as the eldest son , even if the brothers and sisters are slightly invisible, but what about the juniors?

There must be something that made the eldest brother feel uncomfortable, and made him unwilling to save any more face.After the elder sister-in-law left, the eldest brother and the old lady still maintained a superficial motherly love and filial piety. What happened to make him uncharacteristically?Jia Min faintly had a bad idea in his heart.

After clearing up his mood, Jia Min could still smile and call the maids to bring in water, and watched the old lady re-wash herself before saying to Jia Mu: "It seems that the second brother is still taking the exam for his son, I will go to see him first. Let me know, big brother." With a wife like that, doesn't it mean that the second brother doesn't know what she's doing?

Mother Jia wanted to prevent her from passing through the East Courtyard, and she couldn't say that because of etiquette, she had to watch Jia Min call a pair of children, and asked Yingchun: "Auntie is going to visit your father, can you lead the way for Auntie?" ?”

Brother Kuan is a child after all, he is the closest to Xichun in age, and the two of them talked the most just now, at this moment he took Xichun's hand and shook: "Fourth sister also goes over together."

Seeing that no one asked about him, Tanchun felt a little disappointed.At this moment, Jia Min wanted to find out the answer like frying oil in his heart, how could he care about a child's face?Daiyu could see it, and because of Tanchun's criticism of Jia Min's gift, she felt that she was not worth it for her mother.She has always had a temperament of following her heart, how can she be willing to cling to others when she is unhappy?He didn't say much, just be an obedient and good boy.

Wang Xifeng had heard that Jia Min was going to the East Courtyard early on. When Jia Min and his party went out, the car was already ready, but they didn't expect Yingchun and Xichun to follow. Fortunately, they were all children, so everyone sat down after a little squeeze. .

Jia Min was in the same car as Wang Xifeng, and let Daiyu and his siblings ride in the same car, hustling towards the East Courtyard.Jia Min couldn't hold back, and asked Wang Xifeng in a low voice: "Although there is a sentence that is abrupt, I have to ask it too. You and Lian'er have been married for more than two years, why haven't you heard anything?"

Wang Xifeng suddenly raised her head and saw that Jia Min's eyes were full of anxiety. She didn't understand why this aunt suddenly asked about this matter.Wanting to wait and say nothing, Jia Lian reminded her to answer her aunt's questions yesterday, but Wang Xifeng's eyes turned red when she asked her to tell her why: "Auntie will ask our wife later and she will know."

Jia Min knew that there was a lot of love and abuse in it, so she endured it and went to the main room of the East Courtyard.But I saw Jia She, who seemed to be dying of illness just now, was directing the girls to serve snacks, serve good tea, and find toys for the girls and boys.

When Jia Min came, Jia Amnesty seemed to have vented his anger, and slumped on the chair again. Jia Min didn't show any courtesy to him, and directly asked Yingchun, the host, to take Daiyu and his brother Xichun to play together.

When did Yingchun feel that she was a master in Rongguo Mansion?She had only come to this East Courtyard twice after Jia She fell ill, and she was not familiar with some of the roads, so she had to mutter and didn't know what to say.

Wang Xifeng wanted to understand what Jia Min wanted to say to Jia She, and felt that it would be better not to listen to some words, so she said with a smile: "Second sister is calm and not very familiar with the people here, so I should take Youmei and the others there. Let's garden."

When they went out, Jia Min asked Jia She directly: "Brother used to be the most filial to the old lady, why is everything going against the old lady's wishes today?"

Jia Amnesty's face lost the enthusiasm just now, and asked coldly: "Auntie, are you here to ask my teacher for the old lady's fault?"

Jia Lian was so anxious that he was about to sweat, he wanted to persuade but was afraid of Jia's amnesty, and he didn't want to persuade Uncle Lin because he didn't want to offend Uncle Lin, so he looked at Mrs. Xing for help.Mrs. Xing is more afraid of Jia Amnesty than he is, how dare she make such a move?It's too late to bow your head and install wood.

Jia Min said to Jia She: "Brother knows that I don't mean it. I am the one who came today, and the children are not talkative people. They are not afraid of outsiders knowing. If you come to visit again in the future, if the elder brother is still like this, it will make people laugh." Are there any rules?"

"Grandma told me the rules?" Jia Amnesty snorted directly: "The eldest daughter-in-law died strangely, but she was not allowed to investigate. The dead daughter-in-law's dowry was not given to the married grandson. The second daughter-in-law became the home of the eldest son. The eldest grandson has nothing to say, this is the rule of the mansion!" His eyes shot out a stern light as he spoke, as if Jia Min dared to refute, and he was about to drive people away.

What Jia Min cares most about is the last sentence: "Brother, you mean that sister-in-law and Lian's daughter-in-law are also in the wrong?"

Jia Amnesty froze: "Who else is enlightened?"

At this point, Jia Min burst into tears: "I have been married for many years. I don't know how much medicine I have taken to beg my son. I worship every temple, and I always donate to monks. I finally got two jade children. How much gossip? Who knows? It was not until I got rid of the house that year that I found out that many of the things I used were not good for the heirs. After careful investigation, I found out that they were all given by the mansion when I first got married. "

"Just now I also asked the old lady. At that time, the elder sister-in-law was not very well, who handled it. The old lady said that she chose it herself. The elder brother didn't know. When Yu'er was born, she was so weak that she was as weak as a kitten. Same, if the wind blows, I'm afraid that she will be blown away, if it wasn't for my own poor health, why would the child be like this?"

Mrs. Xing glanced at Jia She, seeing that he didn't mean to speak, she quickly put herself aside: "Grandma knows, I have never been in charge of the house since I entered the mansion, and I have not interfered in the matter of giving gifts to grandma."

Jia Lian was already so angry that she gritted her teeth: "It must be that vicious woman, why is her heart so vicious."

Jia She snorted softly: "Your wife can't have children, it's to prevent me from having another son-in-law, and in the future there will be one more person who will be able to inherit the title. Your wife can't have children, because if you don't have children, Cong Er It's the bastard who can't claim the title, and in the future the title will have to fall on that treasured egg with great fortune."

Jia Lian and Jia Min asked the same question: "And Lan'er, he is the eldest son and grandson of the second room, and Baoyu is only the second son."

"Why did I give birth to such a fool like you!" Jia She was so angry that he scolded Jia Lian directly: "Have you ever heard of Lan'er being mentioned? Or did you see Lan'er coming out when meeting guests?"

Jia Lian wanted to say that Jia Lan was still young, but there was no family that really valued children who did not lift their grandsons first, so he couldn't say that.Jia Min was even more upset: "Lian's daughter-in-law is her niece, so she is not afraid of the Wang family?"

Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Min like a fool: "Whether it is the big Wang family or the young Wang family who gains power in the mansion, what is the difference to the Wang family? Besides, why do you think Wang Ziteng is so easy to gain a foothold in the Beijing camp, and he was promoted at a young age?" Deputy Jiedushi?"

That's right, my father died in the capital's Jiedu envoy.Jia Min asked bitterly: "Shouldn't all of my father's connections be in the hands of my eldest brother, why..."

A trace of shame finally appeared on Jia She's face: "You also know that I have been disliked by the old man and the old lady since I was a child, and the second child has always used it as a cover for being able to read, so, so..."

"What a confused father." Jia Min didn't know the secret until now, and had to blame his always wise late father.Jia Amnesty himself is fine: "Sister, don't blame my father, who doesn't want my children and grandchildren to be successful. Besides, my father has long seen that I am not good for success - my ears are soft, and my face is thin - afraid that someone will You have seduced me, so I think it's better to give my connections to my second child who seems to be more promising than me."

Listening to Jia She's thinking about the past in such a way, Jia Min knew that Mrs. Wang even plotted against Wang Xifeng, which really touched Jia She's rebellion - in order to keep Jia Lian growing up safely, Jia She could endure it until Dongdae Courtyard, now Mrs. Wang wants to let his blood go to Jia Lian, but Jia's mother wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb to whitewash the peace. It's no wonder Jia Amnesty can bear it.

"Is Lian's daughter-in-law taking good care of her health?" Jia Min asked worriedly, if Wang Xifeng's health is not well taken care of, and Jia Lian has no son-in-law, this mansion, this mansion will not be like that poisonous woman in the future?

Mrs. Xing knew that Jia She and his son were not easy to speak, so she said to Jia Min: "Fortunately, Lian's daughter-in-law didn't spend a lot of time in the house, and it wasn't that she did it as soon as she entered the house. It's not a big problem, but it still takes a year and a half. The bitter medicine soup contained in it."

Hearing her speak in such an orderly manner, as if taking medicine was a common thing, Jia Min looked at her sister-in-law whom she met for the first time with some sympathy.Everyone is afraid of comparisons. This sister-in-law, who was born in a noble family, has nothing to compare with. However, she was able to protect her life under the circumstances that her mother-in-law and her husband did not want to see each other, which made Mrs. Wang have to It is not easy for this sister-in-law to maintain superficial respect.

Jia Min talked with Jia She and the other three for a while, wondering if Jia She and Jia Lian really wanted to let Mrs. Wang go.Jia Amnesty still said the same thing, since Mrs. Wang is only thinking about her own children, it is much better to let all her children with great fortune lose their fortunes than to send people directly to the family temple.

Jia Lian couldn't be the master of Jia's amnesty, so he could only nod his head, but Jia Min still wanted to go to Jia's mother to try, to see if Jia's mother knew that she had been harmed by her daughter-in-law who had always favored her so much that she had almost nothing to do. I won't give myself justice.

I didn't want to rush back to Rongqing Hall, and after crying to Mother Jia, she was told by Mother Jia: You are overthinking yourself, how do you know that the Lin family's blood is not strong enough to have no children for many years?He also said that all the things were selected by himself back then, Mrs. Wang did not intervene, and most of the people in charge did not run errands in the house to prevaricate.Jia Min was so angry that he couldn't speak, he didn't even leave a meal, and hurried back home with his children.

When Shen Yue came out of the palace, he saw Lin Li spinning a mill not far from the palace gate, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked him, "Why are you here to pick me up today?"

Lin Li hastily called his master: "Master, my wife is not well after she came back from the general's mansion. I heard from the person sent to deliver the letter by Madam Gu that my wife has never shed tears all the way, and she doesn't eat or drink after returning to the mansion." , the girl and the young master have lost their minds, please come to the mansion quickly to persuade the young master."

After Shen Yue heard this, he turned his head and ran into the palace gate. Lin Li didn't know why he was not in a hurry to go to the Lin residence, and he didn't dare to make any noise outside the palace gate, so he could only watch helplessly as his master didn't know what he had said to the guard guarding the gate. No mistake, he re-entered the palace.

Waiting and waiting, looking forward and looking forward, I don't know how much time passed before I saw Shen Yue helping an old man out of the palace gate.Just as Lin Li was about to meet him, Shen Yue said to him from a distance: "Hurry up and drive over here."

Lin Li didn't dare to be negligent, and as the number of pedestrians on the road became less and less as it was almost dusk, the carriage rushed all the way.The members of the Lin family had already memorized Shen Yue's carriage, so they unloaded the threshold early to let the carriage enter the door quickly.

While supporting the old man, Shen Yue told the second housekeeper who followed the car to the second gate: "Go back to the girl, just say that I have invited the imperial doctor to check the wife's pulse, and let someone prepare it." Then he said to the old doctor: "Doctor Li, please."

Doctor Li was not very happy to be ordered by the empress dowager to follow this little priest.But along the way, Shen Yue was very polite and thoughtful, and he even told himself the reasons, and flattered himself, saying that he had inquired about the Tai Hospital earlier and only healed the depression by himself, so he showed kindness—— Everyone knew that although this young priest Shen was young, he could speak loudly in front of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, so why offend him if he could make a good relationship?

Along the way, the servants of the Lin family saw that Mr. Shen was like his master, and there was a second housekeeper accompanying him to follow orders, and Imperial Physician Li nodded involuntarily.In a short while, he was about to enter the main courtyard, and saw all kinds of fragrant flowers lining the road. He didn't know where he got the weather like this. Doctor Li is also a flower lover.

Shen Yue was anxious, seeing brother Kuan coming out tearfully to call his brother, he introduced him: "This is Li Taiyi, the empress dowager personally ordered to treat my wife."

Even though tears were still on his face, Brother Kuan still politely greeted Doctor Li, talking about work all the time, which made Doctor Li lament once again that the Lin family was a good tutor.

The girl who opened the curtain raised the curtain cage early on, and just lowered her body to invite in without saying a word, Taiyi Li followed Shen Yue and went inward.A neat nanny came forward to greet Shen Yue, and said to Shen Yue, "Madam is ready here, let the young master invite the imperial physician to go in."

Shen Yue asked Imperial Physician Li again, but at this time, Imperial Physician Li couldn't lift his head up, so he followed Shen Yue forward with his head down.After entering the room, there is no powdery smell of the women's bedroom in the inner house, but the fragrance of flowers is more.Doctor Li said to Shen Yue: "Placing some flowers on weekdays is pleasant to the eyes. If the body is not useful, it is better to place less."

"Chunfeng, hurry up and leave first." A crisp girl's voice came, and Li Taiyi heard the voice, and knew that the girl must not be too old, otherwise he would not stay inside because of the young master of the Lin family. room.

Facing him was a drapery of Misty Rain, with a thin arm protruding from it, the wrist was covered with a veil, and it was waiting for Doctor Li's diagnosis and treatment.The people inside heard the voice of Shen Yue and the others entering the room, and also said: "Labor is too medical, it's because Yue'er is too careful, I'm just feeling a little depressed in my heart, it's not a serious problem."

Doctor Li also spoke politely to the drapery, and sat down to diagnose the pulse.Seeing that Shen Yue brought the imperial physician back, Daiyu had a backbone, and the tears she had been holding back all the time fell down the moment she saw Shen Yue.

Brother Kuan was hanging on the corner of Shen Yue's clothes, and he gently moved to Daiyu, took the handkerchief and handed it to her: "Emperor Li's medical skills are praised by the empress dowager and empress, with his old man's diagnosis and treatment, the teacher and wife must be It's all right. By the way, why hasn't Mister returned home at this time?"

Hearing this question, Daiyu's tears fell more urgently: "At first, the wife only said that she wanted to be quiet by herself, but who knew that she hadn't returned when the master left the office. Brother Kuan and I just wanted to have dinner with the wife. Mrs. Zhi still refuses to eat, that's why, that's why..." The sobbing sound became louder, and he was afraid that he might miss Doctor Li's pulse diagnosis, so he forced himself to cover his mouth.

Shen Yue's heart ached, and he complained about Jia Min in his heart: No matter how wronged you are, tell Lin Ruhai, even if you tell yourself, you can't scare the child!

Brother Kuan tugged at the corner of Shen Yue's clothes: "I have sent people to report to the master's yamen, but they said that the master has already left the yamen and left with an adult surnamed Mu. The servants went to Mu's house, but that The adults didn't go home either." As he spoke, he was so anxious that he shed tears along with his sister.

This is the disadvantage of not having an adult male in the family - even if it is useless like Jia Lian, if he knows that the elders in the mansion are sick, he can use the post to find the imperial doctor, but when the mistress Jia Min in this mansion falls, Daiyu and Kuan My brother probably doesn't even know where to put the post.If it wasn't for Shen Yue's carefulness, it would be a waste of time to invite the imperial physician when he returned to the Lin Mansion.

Thinking of this, Shen Yue signaled Daiyu to wipe away his tears again, and he dragged Brother Kuan out, went to the second door and told Lin Li: "Mu Shilang from the Ministry of Officials is going down to the yamen with the master today, there should be some entertainment. Let Shuangxi and the others go to each other. The restaurant is looking for someone, please come back early." Lin Li agreed and left.

Seeing this, Brother Kuan said enviously, "It's still convenient for Brother to have someone in his hands."

Shen Yue patted his head: "In a few days, sir, please pick a few servants for you, just don't be naughty with them." Brother Kuan nodded solemnly: "I'll let them learn from Shuang Xisheng." Then he pulled Shen Yue's hand returned to the inner room.

At this time, Imperial Physician Li had already checked the pulse, and was explaining Jia Min's condition to Daiyu. He was obviously relieved to see Shen Yuejin—although this is also a child, he is very stable in action, and people unknowingly ignore him. age.

"My wife is in a hurry, so I don't think about food and drink. Take one or two doses of medicine to calm depression and disperse qi, think about more happy things on weekdays, and move around more." Imperial physician Li did not drop his book bag, and Shen Yue After speaking, he opened the prescription directly.

Mrs. Li offered a high-quality consultation fee from Steward Lin, but Imperial Physician Li refused, saying, "The Empress Dowager personally ordered the old man to see a doctor, and she dare not accept the fee. If the priest Xiao Shen feels sorry, he can just paint the old-fashioned old man in his free time." .”

How could Shen Yue have any reason to let him not charge the consultation fee?Smiling, he said to Doctor Li, "It's wrong to delay Doctor Li's duty. My husband will thank you again. It's beyond my duty to make a portrait of the doctor. It just depends on the day when the boss is free."

Doctor Li ironed the post carefully, and said to Shen Yue softly before leaving the mansion: "My wife has something wrong with herself, and she seems to have taken care of her, but unfortunately she was only suppressed temporarily. Now that it is stimulated and treated together, it is better to keep it all the time." Be strong, Xiao Shen, you don't have to worry too much."
