Chapter 1 and Seven
Later, Jia Yu's master and servant talked about other things, and when they were about to speak, there were a few deliberate footsteps in the courtyard outside the house.
The master and servant suddenly stopped communicating, and after a few breaths, they heard a soft knock on the door.
Those who will come at this time do not think otherwise. Jia Yu summoned someone in, and sure enough, it was the blue blue who he sent to Mrs. Xing's side.
When Qingqing saw Jia Yu and Lin Zhixiao in the house, she was neither surprised nor curious, she just smiled calmly and saluted: "Master, Steward Lin." ”
Jia Yu nodded.
Lin Zhixiao knew about the blue color around Mrs. Xing, but this was the first time he had met the other party here in Jia Yu.
The other party came over quietly at this time, presumably with the same purpose as him.
Thinking about it, Lin Zhixiao saluted Jia Yu, saying that there were still some things to deal with, so he went down first.
-- Theoretically, Yi Lin's filial piety, his words are not listened to by the blue blue, but he can listen to the words of the young man.
It's just that Lin Zhixiao is a clean man. He knew that Jia Yu didn't mind him listening, but he felt that there were some things that were not within his jurisdiction, so there was no need for that to know—not to mention, this was still a matter in the master's inner courtyard.
-- Regarding Lin Zhixiao's knowledge of current affairs, Jia Yu's face did not show it, but he was satisfied with it in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "You go down, I will look for you again if there is something." ”
Lin Zhixiao respectfully agreed, turned around and retreated.
When Jia Yu and Qingqing were left in the room, the latter took the initiative to report the situation of Jia's mother and the two-room backyard after the former went south.
In fact, most of the blue has already said it in the previous letters, but now it is just saying something that is difficult to say in the letter and has not had time to say it recently.
Just listen to what she said:
"Sure enough, as the old man expected, the rumors of the old man and the young master Lian's quarrel, and even after the news that the young master Lian was left in Jinling reached the capital, the lady's mind was a little unstable, especially Wang Shanbao's family; ”
Jia Yu nodded and said, "Not bad." It's just that in the future, your mother and daughter still have to pay attention from time to time, and if there are any signs, you have to pinch them off for the first time...... Try not to let your wives hear those nonsense words. ”
After all, the human heart is the most changeable thing. How can it be done overnight to change a person's mind, let alone a matter of interest.
Jia Yu is just cautious.
...... Perhaps, he should set individual goals and divert his attention from his stepfamily? Thinking of it, Jia Yu ordered: "Now almost everyone outside believes that the master dislikes your young master, and the old lady is also angry with the master-it is just right, your mother and daughter should simply try to let your wife learn how to deal with this situation."
As for your Young Master Lian...... If it can be rumored that the stepfamily cares for the original concubine, I think this reputation will also be good for your wife. ”
Hearing these hints, she basically understood what the master wanted her to do: to put it simply, it was to urge his wife to do "harmony with the mud" and "three-way please" in order to gain a good reputation.
So the maid said, "Master, please rest assured, the slave knows how to do it." ”
Next, Qing Qing mentioned some things in Jia's mother's courtyard and the second room. In the end, she didn't know what she thought, she quietly glanced at Jia Yu, and Gu Yao stopped talking.
This strange appearance made Jia Yu a little curious, and he asked. "What, it's Madame's business?"
Qingqing shook her head, seeing that Jia Yu showed no signs of life, Fang boldly said: "The slave and maid are brave, and I implore the master to inform the slave and maid...... Big girl, what rules does the lord have?"
The big girl that Hongqing said naturally does not refer to the Yuanchun of the second room, but the concubine of the big room Yingchun - if you only follow the order of the big house, Yingchun is indeed the eldest girl.
Speaking of which, when it comes to welcoming spring, there is no one in Rongfu who does not praise his "good luck".
After all, this front foot returned to the big house from Jia's mother, and Mrs. Xing was diagnosed as pregnant on the back foot, which is not a coincidence! Some people still speculate that the mother is pregnant, and this girl will have to "return to her original form".
That's why people sometimes think so strangely.
Of course, there is actually cyanosis in this. Before she first came into contact with this concubine, she was instructed by Jia Yu, saying that "if you can, pull it a little", so she took Yingchun back to the big room to meet Mrs. Xing, and only then did she say something deliberately.
Fortunately, Yingchun is not as "wooden" as it seems on the surface, otherwise how would Yingchun take care of it anymore? Later, Xuanqing intentionally or unintentionally made a little bit of a nudge many times, and Yingchun was able to get through and deal with it appropriately -- it is also because of this that Yingchun has not only not been neglected because Mrs. Xing is pregnant, but has even become more and more favored.
This made the young man feel that this girl was really "a material that can be made".
Moreover, although Yingchun is a concubine, Jia Yu is the head of the family of the raider; the former, as the only girl in the big house now, is raised by her mother-in-law-logically, this identity is not worse than Yuan Chun in the second room, and it can even be said to be slightly better-if she can teach well, can she only go to the small election in the future than the Yuan girl in the second room?
Based on all of the above, Hongqing will only exceed the rules at this moment and ask Jia Yu's thoughts.
-- Here, Jia Yu saw that the young man specially asked about his maid, and after a turn of his mind, he knew that this maid must be quite optimistic about the other party.
To tell the truth, Jia Yu really didn't have any thoughts about this concubine - what could this four-year-old girl expect?
However, it can make the attitude of the maid Qingqing biased, and this concubine can be regarded as having some ability.
Thinking of this, Jia Yu asked, "...... You big girl, what do you like on weekdays?"
Hongqing recalled for a moment and replied: "In her spare time, the eldest girl mostly watches chess games or finds someone to talk about a game. ”
Jia Yu said: "Among the things I brought back from my trip to the south, there is a set of Huanghuali chessboard...... You remember to remind her that there are many brothers and sisters in the family, so don't be stingy. ”
This means that Yingchun will give gifts in his personal name. So when the young man heard this, he responded: "The slave can save it." ”
She came this time under the banner of coming to pick up the Tuyi that Jia Yu brought back from the south, and it was not easy to stay for a long time; seeing that Jia Yu had finished saying this, she didn't give any more orders, so she went down silently.
It's just that not long after the young man left, a little girl came to report, saying that the second old man Jia Zheng, who was still outside, had come to pass the word, and he would come to Jia Yu later to "discuss something".
Send the little guy away, Jia Yu frowned.
Not to mention that he is returning to Beijing today, should the elder brother, run out to "meet friends"; just looking at the meaning of this little guy, does he, as an elder brother, have to wait for the younger brother to come and see him?
- It's ridiculous!
Well, let's see it. Jia Yu said in his heart.
