Eighteenth
The inner house of the Lin Mansion was full of joy, and in addition to the people from the Jia Mansion, there were also several handkerchiefs of Jia Min and several relatives of the Lin Mansion. Because they are all acquaintances, so they are also a little less restrained, the old lady of the Lin Mansion ordered people to set up two seats in the inner hall, and set up five tables outside, so that the maids and women who accompanied them all went outside to eat and drink by themselves, and only relatives and friends were present in the inner hall, and everyone was comfortable talking and laughing. Because Jia's mother was the oldest and had the highest fate, the old lady of the Lin family was busy letting Jia's mother sit in the guest's seat, and Shi Fei'er couldn't shirk it, so she gave in a few words and sat down.
This time when she entered the Lin Mansion, Shi Fei'er looked up and down carefully, although this Lin Mansion was not as magnificent as her own Rongguo Mansion, it also had a unique charm. The furnishings in the house are not like Jiafu, mostly elegant and fine small things, why don't they look inconspicuous, but if you look carefully at the exquisite workmanship, it is worth a lot of money, unlike Jiafu always likes to take out the precious furnishings and gold and jade things to show off.
Look at this old lady Lin again, her demeanor is gentle and elegant, but her speech is full of knowledge, I think she was also a person who liked to read in her early years, and it is still difficult to hide the charm of books at this age. Looking at Jia Min's words and deeds to his mother-in-law, Shi Fei'er thought, sure enough, this Jia Daishan and Jia's mother love their daughter very much, and they found a good mother-in-law for Jia Min.
When everyone entered the table, Mrs. Lin first raised a glass to the people who came to congratulate her, and everyone replied. Everyone saluted Mrs. Lin, and then saluted Jia's mother, congratulating her on hugging her grandson. Shi Fei'er had to toast everyone one by one, at this time Shi Fei'er was a little helpless, she was not even married, but she crossed here, not only did she have a cheap son, daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law, but now even her grandson was about to have it, if you count the unborn Sichun, Lin Daiyu and others, she would be all mixed up.
On the side, Jia Min saw that Jia Mu drank everyone's toast, and was afraid that Jia Mu drank too much and was too strong to drink, so everyone stopped them one by one when they came to salute again. Everyone also knows his intentions, and they are not reluctant. Shi Fei'er sighed when she saw it, and she couldn't complain that this daughter was her parents' intimate little padded jacket, which was true.
The joy of the wine banquet is not to be elaborated, everyone eats happily at this meal, but Jia Zheng and his wife are like a fish in their throats. Mrs. Wang was disgusted with the eldest lady's merit, and secondly, she remembered that within half a year, Mrs. Zhang was going to move into Rongxi Hall. This delicacy is like chewing wax in your mouth. And Jia Zheng saw that Lin Ruhai and Jia Yu were talking happily this time, but he was not as normal as usual, so he drank sullenly.
Shi Fei'er drank a few more glasses and still felt a little overwhelmed, and Jia Min saw this and hurriedly asked Jia Mu to go to her room to rest for a while. He didn't dare to leave, so he let Jia's mother rest alone, so he asked the maid to make it clear to his mother-in-law, and he also left the table to guard Jia's mother and wait for her to wake up. Shi Fei'er was only a little drunk, and there were many people at the banquet, and the laughter also made him a little annoying. After taking a nap in Jia Min's house and drinking the wine soup, she felt much more sober, and pulled Jia Min to ask her about her physical condition, and the two talked to each other for a while.
After talking for a while, Shi Fei'er slapped her face and hurriedly asked Jia Min to call the maid egret who came with her. The maid saw Shi Fei'er and presented a small package. Shi Fei'er opened it, took out a booklet, handed it to Jia Min and said: "This booklet records the relevant experience and precautions you asked me last time, I will sort out everything I remember and hear, and let me give you a reference." When you're old and forgetful, you can write it down while you're not confused. ”
Jia Min took it and took a closer look, and found that Jia's mother had written a booklet on pregnancy health care for herself, she was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly held it in her hand and read it. Shi Fei'er saw that Jia Min liked it, and she also felt that she had not been busy in vain these days, and she was quite happy.
This time, Shi Fei'er saw that Jia Min had another important matter besides sending this booklet. Just as he was about to speak, the maid outside the house came in and told the legend that the second wife of Jiafu came to ask her old lady if she had woken up. Shi Fei'er had no choice but to accept the conversation, and Jia Min invited Mrs. Wang over. Mrs. Wang entered the house and asked Jia's mother, and at a glance she caught a glimpse of the pamphlet that Jia Min had placed on the table. Mrs. Wang was quite curious, thinking that the Lin Mansion was worthy of being a scholarly family, and even pregnant people could have books to read. Without asking, he picked it up and looked at it. Jia Min didn't think much about it, thinking that her mother must have given her two sisters-in-law a copy of this booklet, so she smiled and said: "Mother is really careful, and she took this thing with me, but it really solved many of my problems." Mrs. Wang pinched the booklet and looked at Mother Jia.
Although Jia Min is smart, no matter how smart she is, she can't imagine that this Jia Mu has changed the core. The booklet was summarized by Shi Feier herself, and had nothing to do with her mother. Shi Fei'er gave Jia Min a look just now, but unfortunately the two missed it.
Mrs. Wang flipped through the booklet in her hand again, and when she saw that its contents were detailed, she turned her head to Jia's mother and said, "Mother is really careful." How could Shi Fei'er not know the sourness of Mrs. Wang's words, lowered her head, took another sip of the sobering soup, and then said slowly: "It's still thanks to you and the old family, if you hadn't given birth to Hu'er and Zhu'er, how would I still remember these things." Shi Fei'er paused and said to Jia Min, "This time, you should thank you for your two good sisters-in-law." When Jia Min heard this, he naturally hurriedly thanked Mrs. Wang again. When Mrs. Wang heard this, she had no choice but to respond, but she became more and more unhappy in her heart.
Because the three of them had been away from the table for a long time, the old lady of the Lin family sent someone to invite them. Shi Fei'er pretended to be overwhelmed by the strength of the wine, and wanted to sit again, Jia Min didn't dare to urge, so she accompanied Jia's mother to talk. Mrs. Wang was angry in her heart, but she didn't like Jia Min, so she returned to the table this time. When Shi Fei'er saw that Mrs. Wang was gone, she opened her mouth again and said, "You have got so many good things from me this time, you also want to give me a gift, don't you?" ”
"Mother is happy with her daughter again, I'm afraid I won't be able to put it in your eyes." Jia Min said with a smile.
Shi Fei'er didn't see her either, and took out two silver tickets from the money bag she was carrying and handed them to Jia Min. Jia Min glanced at it, one was one thousand taels, and hurriedly said, "Mother, what do you mean, I can't accept this." ”
Shi Fei'er patted Jia Min's hand with a smile and stuffed the silver ticket into her hand, "This is not for you, it is for you to help me with my errands." ”
"Errands? Mother can just tell me if she has something. Jia Min pushed the silver ticket back.
"This won't work, I'll tell you to take it, just take it for me." Shi Fei'er accepted the silver ticket and said slowly.
"What is it? The daughter was afraid that she would mess up her mother, so her mother hurriedly talked about it. ”
Shi Fei'er smiled and said, "This matter is simple, you can't do it." It's just that you're going to buy me a few things. ”
"Shopping?" Jia Min was a little strange, if Jia's mother wanted to buy something and give a direct order in the house, why did she need to ask herself to help buy it. "What does Mother want to buy?"
"It's simple, you put a few golden locks on me for this money, and then find a few pieces of multicolored jade. Just engrave a few more words on it. The jade is the size of the bird's egg, the positive and negative seals are engraved with the four big characters of Tongling Baoyu, the following seal is engraved without forgetting, Xianshou Hengchang, and then the reverse seal is engraved to remove evil spirits, two cure unjust diseases, and three know the blessings and misfortunes. By the way, the golden lock is about the same size as the jade, and it is also engraved with a few auspicious words, on the one hand, it is not forgotten, never abandoned, and on the other side, it is engraved with immortal longevity and eternal succession. ”
Jia Min nodded after hearing this, "Mother, this is to bless my sister-in-law's child." ”
"You're clever," Shi Fei'er didn't refute, and said with a smile, "You did it for me." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll make a note of it." Jia Min nodded, took the paper again, recorded what Shi Fei'er said one by one, and showed it to Jia's mother, Shi Fei'er looked at it and nodded: "I also have to have a little snack, the sooner the better." ”
Jia Min responded with a smile and asked, "I wonder if my family has this blessing?" I don't know how many gold locks my mother wants, and how many pieces of jade she wants? ”
"That's nature." Shi Fei'er nodded, lowered her head and said with a smile, "Let's have ten pieces each." ”
"Mother, how many people do you want to bless." Jia Min quipped.
"It's really indulgent to you, besides, I'll take the rest of your stomach off first."
"By no means, I wish I had more blessings, mother rest assured, this matter will be handled before the child in the belly of the eldest sister-in-law lands." The two talked for a while before returning the table.
After everyone dispersed, they went back to their homes, and before leaving, Mrs. Lin took Jia's mother's hand and said that if she had free time, she would like to walk around more. She will not detain Jia Min, this time Lin Ruhai is going to go to other places again, and she can't rest assured, but now Jia Min can't follow along. There are few people in this Lin Mansion, and Jia Min doesn't even have a concubine who can talk, so she always guards herself as a lonely old lady, and after a long time, I am afraid that she will be sick. If there is anything interesting in Jiafu this time, remember to pick up Jia Min to play for a few days and relax, she is very happy to be a mother-in-law, and she will never stop her. Shi Fei'er listened to them one by one.
When Mrs. Wang returned to her house, she was very displeased, and she couldn't help complaining about Mother Jia in her heart. Thinking about it, I thought that Jia's mother was towards herself and spoiled herself, but it turned out to be just wishful thinking on her own.
When Jia Min was not married, he couldn't compare, but he didn't expect Jia Min to be married for so long, and he still couldn't compare. This time it was just a diagnosis of pregnancy, and the gift was sent to a few cars, and she helped her find the grandmother who retired from the palace to help take care of it, and that's it, and today I personally wrote her a booklet about pregnancy health care. A daughter-in-law like herself, and she gave birth to the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion, she didn't see this Jia mother write any brochure for herself. It's also too eccentric.
The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more angry she became, thinking that she gave birth to her eldest grandson but couldn't attack the lord, because she was a second-room wife, she couldn't take care of the house, and she couldn't live in the main house. I was even more aggrieved in my heart, and I couldn't help but pinch the handkerchief and wipe away my tears. After a while, Jia Zheng came back and saw Mrs. Wang crying alone, originally quite irritable because of the neglect of the banquet, but this time he was even more bored when he saw this scene, so he simply didn't bother to ask, so he turned around and went to Aunt Zhou's place to rest. When Mrs. Wang saw this, she was even more annoyed with Jia Min and Jia Mu in her heart.
Shi Fei'er stayed up and was tired of writing the pregnancy health care booklet for a few days, and just wanted to rest, but it happened that Mrs. Wang was sick in bed due to occasional cold, and the housekeeper who was originally her husband also resigned due to illness.
