Jia Yu's wedding passed, and Jia Daishan calmed down and thought about why the saint gave Jia Yu. What is the meaning of the word 'Enhou'? Jia Daishan is a military general who likes to go straight, and he can't figure out those twists and turns. Therefore, after a day of rest, Jia Yu's father-in-law Zhang Changgong was invited to the quiet Tu Pavilion.

After the tea set was ready, Jia Daishan sent all the attendants in the house out and made the tea himself, "My family, this is this year's new spring tea, do you taste it?" He handed the brewed tea to him.

Zhang Changgong took the tea, took a sip, and praised: "I have an aftertaste for a long time, and I feel sweet." Good water, good tea, good kung fu. Compared with the in-laws, the younger brother is willing to bow down. ”

"The in-laws are too modest, and the younger brother's shallow craftsmanship can be compared. Jia Daishan said with a smile, "Today, please invite your in-laws to come here and still give words to the saint." I don't know why the word 'Enhou' is understood. ”

"It is said that Rong Guogong is deeply favored and benefits his children. There was a sense of ridicule in the words.

"That's all sour words from outsiders, how can you take it seriously?" Jia Daishan said helplessly: "Now that the border is stable, the generals are useless, and in the court, the saints are suspicious, and they are really walking on thin ice." I don't know whether this time is a blessing or a curse, and the sacred heart is unpredictable. ”

"The in-laws are too worried, 'Enhou, Enhou' is still the emperor's grace, the marquis is still the marquis, I am afraid of the sage's will, and I will forgive the child to attack the marquis in the future. ”

"If that's the case, it's still the luck of the Jia family. Jia Daishan said happily.

After talking with Zhang Changgong, Jia Daishan was at peace in his heart, and when he returned to the mansion, he saw that the old lady was ordering someone to put some precious medicinal materials in boxes, as if to give gifts, and said curiously: "Mother, where are these medicinal materials sent." ”

The old lady sighed and said regretfully: "Jing'anhou is seriously ill, I asked people to send some ginseng, deer antler, and lingzhi to the Lin family, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"What, then Jing'anhou is a few years younger than his son, how can this be good?" Jia Daishan was taken aback.

"The Lin family and the Shandong Lin family are the same family, and your grandfather's family is also a family friend, but the war moved to Gusu and divided into two branches, and then gradually lost contact. The generation of Jing'an Marquis has no title, and the saint Long Enshengde, with additional grace, has attacked a generation. Speaking of which, everyone has to praise him for being good, but it's a pity that before the year of the Mandate of Heaven, he is about to leave orphans and widows. ”

Jia Daishan couldn't help but feel a little angry when he heard this, how many years younger than Jing'anhou, and asked, "Mother, is the brother of the Lin family already weak?"

"The five generations of the Lin family have been passed down alone, just such a single seedling, and it seems that he is younger than Zheng'er. But that brother has long eyebrows and clear eyes, and he has a good appearance. At a young age, even the three yuan of small and medium-sized schools, the future is limitless. If this Jing'an Hou goes, it can't be said. The old lady said.

"Mother, since she is a world friend, her son should also visit, visit. ”

"It is also appropriate for you to visit, although your grandfather is a little far away, but I and Mrs. Narin's mother are sisters who have grown up together. The old lady thought for a moment and said, "Just for the sake of my deceased old sister, you can help if you can." ”

"Yes, Mother. ”

Zhang Qiong and Jia Min came hand in hand, and when they saw that Jia Daishan was also there, the two of them hurriedly asked for peace: "Say hello to your grandmother, please say hello to your father." ”

Jia Daishan saw that Zhang Qiong was also there, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Mother, my son still has something in the front yard, and I will come to talk to you next time." ”

The old lady also knew that although Zhang Qiong was the granddaughter-in-law of the Jia family, her son would not be able to treat her much in the end. Then he said: "If you have something, you should go and get busy first." By the way, when you go to Lin's house, bring the medicinal herbs I prepared with you. Mama Gu, you sent those boxes to the master. He turned his head and explained to Mama Gu.

When Jia Min saw his father go out, Fang said, "Grandmother, did Min'er disturb you and your father to talk about things?"

The old lady took Jia Min into her arms, and Zhang Qiong on the side was also uneasy. smiled and reassured: "No, it's just a few gossip, what's the matter." ”

"Oh, who are grandmother's things going to be sent to, Min'er hasn't heard of any recent banquets?" Jia Min also knew that grandmother and father had nothing important, but asked for Zhang Qiong.

"The old man of the Lin family is sick, so let your father go and see. However, the Lin family has nothing to do with our family. In the past few days, Jia Min has been following her to learn about the communication of various provinces, so she explained.

'Lin family', Jia Min was shocked, and hurriedly asked: "But, Jing'an Hou Lin family?" In her previous life, she married into the Lin family, but she didn't hear Lin Ruhai say that when she was a child, Lin's father died, and their orphans and widows were not less bullied by the clansmen in Gusu. It wasn't until he was hit by Tanhua that his situation gradually improved, and a more important part was that he married Rongguofu.

"How does Min'er know that it is the Jing'an Hou family?" The old lady was very strange, she didn't seem to mention the Lin family to her, and Jia Min's tone was full of extraordinary concern.

"Grandmother, you forgot that Min'er had met Mrs. Nalin. Jia Min knew that she was a little anxious just now, but fortunately, she had met her mother-in-law before, and when she saw that the old lady hadn't remembered it, she said: "In the absence of the master, my grandmother and I went to ask the master to calculate the date of the engagement between the eldest brother and the sister-in-law." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Qiong on the side playfully.

Zhang Qiong's face was crimson, and she looked at Jia Min shyly.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, I happened to meet Mrs. Lin and the Lin family brother that time. The old lady remembered. "It's really old and I don't remember anything. ”

"What's wrong with Marquis Lin. Jia Min also remembered that Father Lin died this year, although she had gained in medical skills, but the Jia family and the Lin family had no contact, and she was only a ten-year-old child now, who could believe that she could be cured, thinking of this, a sense of powerlessness arose in her heart. In this life, many things have changed with her efforts, but there are still many things like in the previous life, although there is the guarantee of the fairy, she is still afraid that she will not be able to change the fate of the Lin family.

"I only heard that I was sick, and I was a little strict, so I asked your father to go and see it. The old lady replied.

"The father of the grandmother's mother-in-law has some dealings with Jing'anhou, I heard that his health has not been very good, and he has invited countless doctors to have no way, only saying that he will be careful to raise, and even the saint has sent the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat, although he has prescribed a prescription, but he cannot cure it. Zhang Qiong said.

"Oh, I see. The old lady said. "Granddaughter-in-law, I heard your mother call you Qiong'er, and grandmother will call you the same in the future, be more intimate. ”

"Yes, Grandmother. ”

The old lady looked at her ruddy little face and said lovingly: "Qiong'er, it has been almost a month since you married into our family, but you can still get used to it." ”

"Grandmother, Qiong'er thinks it's all good. After Zhang Qiong returned to the door in the third dynasty, he went to the old lady and his wife every morning to say goodbye, and sat down with a few chopsticks and chopsticks that were just symbols during the meal. Although the old lady hadn't let her take care of the house, Jia Yu's yard was handed over to her after the three dynasties returned. And Jia Yu also handed over his private room to her to take care of. She was taken aback when she received the account book, she didn't expect Jia Yu to have so much privacy. Some of these were given by the old lady, and some of them were purchased by him after he worked on an errand. If it is unsatisfactory, it is only that the wife is cold to her, but the old lady looks at it and does not do anything out of the ordinary.

"That's good, grandmother sees that you are very thoughtful in taking care of the yard of pardon, it can be seen that your mother teaches well, then from tomorrow you and Min'er will learn housekeeping with grandmother. Grandmother is old, and it's time to rest. Mrs. is not in good health, so she can't worry too much, and she will still rely on you to take care of this home in the future. ”

"Qiong'er, I will take care of it well and not let my grandmother down. Zhang Qiong said, and then looked at Jia Min, "Grandmother, Qiong'er went to Mrs. to say goodbye today, and Mrs. asked me to bring a message." ”

"Oh, she can't leave someone to talk about it, but let you say it. The old lady replied that since she received the power of Jia Shi's family, she was exempted from asking for peace, and she could only see each other on the first and fifteenth days of the new year when the whole family got together for dinner.

"The wife thought that her sister was now ten years old, and seeing that she was a year old, she wanted to ask her grandmother to invite a nurturing grandmother to serve her sister. Zhang Qiong said politely. In fact, the wife didn't say that, and she really couldn't say that.

Zhang Qiong went to the main courtyard in the morning to say goodbye, and retired as usual, but was stopped by his wife.

"Don't go yet, I have a few words I want you to convey to the old lady. Jia Shi said.

"Madame, please. Zhang Qiong was stopped, very uneasy in her heart, but still replied generously.

"Min'er is also older now, and there is no serious upbringing grandmother around, you tell the old lady, let her find one, and her daughter's family don't go to the top exam, study or something, as long as you don't open your eyes and be blind, then you don't bother to learn the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it's a serious thing to learn the housekeeper. I heard that the grandmother next to you came out of the palace, and I don't think Min'er can be any worse. Jia Shishi took a sip of tea and continued: "It's still Zheng'er, and she's not too young, and the old lady has already seen countless girls at this time. Although Zheng'er didn't grow up with the old lady with Yu'er, she is also the grandson of her in-laws, so you can ask the old lady if there is a suitable girl. ”

"Yes, the daughter-in-law knows. ”

"Okay, nothing else, you go. After Jia Shishi finished speaking, he immediately drove people away, so as not to be an eyesore there.

"When Mrs. saw Qiong'er's grandmother coming out of the palace, she saw that the rules were good, and it would be better if she invited her grandmother to the palace. Zhang Qiong thought about whether there was anything left behind, and thought that if Mama came out of the palace, she added.

"I didn't think about this matter, I think Min'er is still young, and the matter of raising grandma can be put aside, so that she can live a few years happily. The old lady said: "However, this matter is easy to be sooner rather than later, and the wife has a heart." ”

Jia Zheng's marriage, Zhang Qiongzhen didn't know how to speak, although the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother, but the old lady and his wife were alive, which was her turn to mention this matter to her new sister-in-law, who had only been in the door for less than a month.

When the old lady saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, she said, "What else is there?"

"The wife said that the little uncle is not too young, and it is time to think about lifelong things, but the wife is afraid that she will not think through it completely, and wants her grandmother to help you refer to it. ”

"I know about this, and I will ask Mama Gu to go back to Mrs. Gu at that time. The old lady thought that Jia Zheng was also her own grandson, and she should think about it for the rest of her life.

In the study, Jia Daishan was thinking about his friend Ziyi's Jianyi, and asked Jia Zheng to go out to study with the great Confucian of the academy, but he was worried that Jia Shishi would not agree. He knew that his wife loved this son, but for the sake of Jia Zheng's good, he still went to the main room to discuss with Jia Shishi.

"Madam, the master is here. The little girl was talking outside the door.

When Jia Shishi heard this, he happily got up to greet him, "At this time, why is the master here?"

Jia Daishan sat down and said, "I want to discuss the matter of Zheng'er with you, after all, he is brought up by you, and you must agree." ”

Jia Shishi didn't expect that she only mentioned this matter to Zhang in the morning, and now the master has come to talk about it. Said happily: "The concubine thinks that the old lady must agree to Zheng'er's life, and the old lady's insight is better than mine, so I entrusted this matter to the old lady." ”

When Jia Dai heard this, he knew that he had misunderstood, and explained: "Zheng'er is still young, it is the time when his studies are important, and it doesn't hurt to have a lifelong affair for a year. As for the marriage, we will talk about it when he returns. ”

When Jia Shishi heard this, he immediately objected: "Doesn't Zheng'er still have to study in the academy, don't stay in the capital, what are you going out for?

Jia Shi's opposition was also expected by Jia Daishan, so he said carefully with her: "In the book: 'Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles', Zheng'er is already fifteen, not small, and this study tour is only half a year, and when he comes back, he will be sixteen, just thinking about getting married, and so on in another year or two, his marriage is also decided, there is a way to start a family, then I will find an errand, or send him back to Jinling for the exam." And Ziyi also said that Zheng'er is too dull, and this knowledge of the General Administration is a little shallow in the back house, so I let him walk around with Mr. and see some customs, which is also good for him. ”

Jia Shishi said: "But I'm still not at ease, Zheng'er has never left the capital when he is so old." ”

Jia Daishan: "What's there to worry about, I have already made meritorious contributions on the battlefield when he was so old." ”

Jia Shishi said: "How can this be compared, the old man has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the battles in various places are also with the old lady, and there are people in the military camp to take care of him, and now Zheng'er is going out alone, teach me how to rest assured?"

Jia Daishan hurriedly said: "How could I let Zheng'er go out alone, isn't there a gentleman with me." I heard that there were a lot of students going together. ”

When Jia Shishi heard this, he also knew that Jia Daishan had already decided this, not so much to discuss, but to say a word, and after thinking about it, he said: "In this case, I will pack some bags for Zheng'er, but the master knows when that gentleman will leave." I was relieved to let Zheng'er's little servant go on the road with him. ”

Jia Shi was busy for three or five days, and he took care of all kinds of affairs properly, and chose a few honest and reliable servants to go out with Jia Zheng.

At dinner, Jia Daishan came to accompany the old lady and told her about it, and the old lady said: "This is a good thing, just when Zheng'er left, I will also take a good look at the appropriate girl in Beijing and choose a suitable person for him." Shan'er, what do you think of Zheng'er's future daughter-in-law?"

"The son thinks that Zheng'er likes to read, or does he want to choose in the scholarly family, what does the mother think?"

"That's true, but this Zheng'er is different from Yu'er, because Yu'er is the eldest son, he can attack your lord in the future, but this Zheng'er will be separated in the future, so he can only rely on Yu'er. Therefore, the Yue family in the future will be powerful, so that they can help the politicians on the road. The old lady analyzed.

"Mother thinks well, but the girls in the meritorious family rarely know poetry and books, and I'm afraid that Zheng'er won't like it. ”

"What's this, Mrs. Zhengfang only needs to take care of the family, I really don't like it, don't you just find a good concubine for Zheng'er in the future, you and your wife are not like this. Take a long-term view. ”

"Yes, the sons listen to their mothers. Jia Daishan thought of the Wang family, and said: "Mother, when the pardon son chooses a wife, the county uncle family wants to get married, can Zheng'er consider it now?"

"The Wang family is from Jinling with us, and your father often corresponded when he was there, but outsiders always refer to Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue as the four major families, which makes the saints jealous. If we marry him again, will it make the saint even more suspicious?" Although the old lady felt that the Wang family was not bad, she still expressed her worries one by one, "I heard that the girl of the Wang family abides by the principle that 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', but she can't read a few big words. It's just that this matter is not in a hurry, let's take a look at a few more, and we will always find the right person. ”

"Well, my son got it. ”

"At present, there is one thing you have to think about, that is, what kind of family Min'er will choose in the future, this girl will marry someone else, you have to pick carefully. ”

"Mother, Min'er is still young, you are in such a hurry, and your son still wants to keep her for a few more years?"

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, I'm afraid that the wife is too big-hearted. Settle down early, rest assured, and there will be no demon goose. ”

"Mother, what do you say?

"She asked me to invite a grandmother from the palace to Min'er to be a nurturing grandmother, what do you want?" The old lady took out a letter from the cabinet on the side, and said: "The Zhen family in Jinling has sent a letter to send the youngest daughter into the palace as a concubine, let us take care of it." ”

"This is good, how to send your daughter to the palace, what does the Zhen family think. ”

"It's not that the men in the family are not angry, and they send their daughter to the palace to have a good future, and besides, the saint will spoil the daughter of the Zhen family in the face of the old lady Zhen, if he has a good life and a prince, he will have the opportunity to go further in the future. My wife also received a letter from the Zhen family, and I am afraid that she is also moved. ”

"This can't be done, Min'er was pampered by me since I was a child, how could I send her to the land of tigers and wolves. ”

"I also want Min'er to find a simple family in the future and live a quiet life, but Mrs., you have to beat and knock well, don't let her have thoughts that she shouldn't have. ”

"Mother, I will tell her well, Min'er was also spoiled by her since she was a child, and she will never think so. ”

When I first mentioned Jia Min's marriage, what I didn't expect was that it had been decided in just one month.

In the Jing'an Hou Mansion, Lin Haigang persuaded his mother to rest, and he served at his father's bedside. However, the thirteen-year-old child was naughty, but with his father's illness, he was also more mature and stable than the people of his age.

"Cough, cough, cough," Jing Anhou woke up slowly.

"Father, you're awake. Lin Haidao, seeing that his father remembered, he was busy helping him again, "When the medicine is boiled, my father should drink some." ”

Jing Anhou took the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp. Looking at his young son, thinking about his weak wife, it will take a few years to survive, but the sky does not follow people's wishes, and I am afraid that this body will not last long.

"Master, uncle, Rong Guogong came to visit, saying that he was here to visit the sick. The butler walked in.

"Rong Guogong, father, I remember that we had no dealings with him. Lin Hai said directly.

"Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan. "Jing'anhou is also very strange, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and they also know better than each other, and they usually have no contacts. I had to get up when I thought about it, but unfortunately I didn't have half the strength.

"Father, you should lie down, since the Duke of Rong Guo said that he came to visit the sick, he would not live in this vulgar manner, and his son would welcome him first. Lin Hai saw that he persuaded.

"Okay, you go quickly, don't be rude. ”

Lin Hai came to the main hall and saw a man about forty years old sitting in a cyan robe covered with a robe of the same color, so he said: "The boy Lin Hai has seen Rong Guogong, and his father is sick and can't come in person, so don't blame him."

Jia Daishan saw a young man coming, handsome and handsome, warm as jade, and his face was slightly tired. Looking at his figure, he knew that he was about twelve or thirteen years old. Jia Dai was happy to see it, "Nephew Xian is polite, I was here to visit the patient, how can I care about this." ”

Lin Hai didn't say much, so he introduced Jia Daishan into the inner room, only to see Jing'anhou's face thin, and the person who had been sick for a long time, seeing that he remembered, stopped him: "Jing'anhou, still lie down and talk, I am a martial artist, no need to be polite." ”

"Rong Guogong is polite, I am sick, I am unable to entertain, please forgive me for neglect. ”

"Jing'an Hou is too polite, I was ordered by my mother to come to visit. Jia Daishan saw that he was at a loss, and said: "My mother is still the daughter of the Meng family in Shandong, and she has been friends with the Lin family for generations. ”

"Oh, the old lady was originally the daughter of the Meng family, but unfortunately the ancestor moved to Gusu and gradually lost contact with the Meng family, I don't think the old lady still remembers this meaning. ”

"My mother said that I was a friend of the world, and I couldn't stand by if something happened. ”

The old lady is affectionate, and Lin has nothing to repay. With a hesitant look on his face and a slight pause, Fang continued: "Brother is just right, and I haven't found the person entrusted to me. Now I can only ask for the glory of the country with a thick face. ”

"Jing'anhou, if you have something to say, if you can do it, you will not hesitate. ”

"I know that the end is coming, but I am also uneasy to leave orphans and widows, the Lin family has been five generations of single generations, and the clansmen have already issued five clothes, and there is no one to take care of them. If in the future, their mother and son are bullied, I hope that the Duke of Rongguo will turn around. ”

"Jing'anhou, how can there be such an unlucky remark. Even if you don't do it for yourself, take care of Lingzi. At first sight, this son knew that he was the dragon and phoenix among people, and he would have a place above the court hall in the future. Jia Daishan saw Lin Hai on the side with tears in his eyes and a sad face. He also said: "Jing'anhou, relieved, I have answered." ”

"Rong Guogong, I don't thank you for my great kindness. When the Marquis of Jing'an heard this, his face was happy, and he turned his head to look at Lin Haidao and said, "Hai'er, thank you Rong Guogong soon." ”

Lin Haihai took a step forward and was just about to kneel on his knees to make a big salute, but he was helped up by Jia Daishan: "There is gold under the man's knees, don't take this big gift lightly." Jing'an Hou has already done his thoughts, and he should take care of it. You have this son, and the future is blessed. ”

"Rong Guogong has won the award, I only hope that he will not insult Mo ancestors. ”

"The father can rest assured that his son will study hard, and he will be the first in high school every day, and he will shine on the lintel. ”

"Okay, good, good, if you have this heart, even if you go for your father, you can feel at ease. Jing Anhou said comfortingly.

Jia Dai heard it well, and he couldn't wait to snatch Na Linhai as his son, but it's a pity, it's a pity. At this time, Jia Daishan was not very good, and suddenly thought that yesterday his mother said that she would decide her daughter's matter earlier, and she saw that it was not appropriate. The son-in-law is also half a son, if Jing'an Hou goes, the Lin family will also rely on the Jia family to support, so that Lin Hai is not afraid that the Yue family will not be close to the Yue family. It's just a matter of getting married, how can a woman speak first. But it's a pity to put such a good candidate.

Seeing that Rong Guogong's face was embarrassed, Jing'an Hou said, "What is there to hide from Rong Guogong?"

"I love Reiko very much. Jia Daishan said directly: "I have a daughter, who is ten years old, still raised by my mother, and has a slight income from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not a pampered person." If Jing Anhou is interested, I will recruit his son as his son-in-law. ”

Lin Hai's face was flushed, and the Marquis of Jing'an was slightly stunned when he heard it, and said: "Rong Guogong has taken a fancy to him, and he is still a child, but although my Lin family is a marquis, there is no lord to attack when he is a child." I'm afraid that the portal is not worthy. ”

"Jing'an Hou is too worried, my Jia family has only gone through three generations, and the Lin family has passed five generations. Jia Daishan said indifferently: "If you are interested, you will get married." If I didn't have the intention, Jing Anhou didn't say this. ”

Jing'an Hou weighed it in his heart, and felt that marrying Rongguo Mansion would be more beneficial to Lin Hai than disadvantageous, so he agreed. As a party, Lin Hai didn't ask his opinion, and in the end, Jia Daishan left the purse that Jia Min made for him as a token of marriage. And Jing'an Hou gave Jia Daishan, who was born in Lin Hai and has brought the jade that he has brought to this day.

When Jia Daishan returned to the house, he wanted to tell his mother. But as soon as she arrived in the house, she saw that the old lady looked tired, and hurriedly said, "Mother, why is your face so ugly, isn't it sick?"

The old lady said weakly: "It's okay, the third girl came back and made a fuss with me." ”

Jia Dai heard that he was married to a concubine, and hurriedly said: "Okay, why did the three girls make trouble, didn't they be wronged in the Zhenguo Mansion." ”

"What a rivalry. "The old lady will tell you about this day in detail.

Originally, the three girls married into the town and had a good life. Zhen Guogong has three sons, and he has not yet split up, but fortunately, the Guogong Mansion is also big, and Niu Jian's courtyard is also a three-way house, with dozens of rooms before and after. Her mother-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law, and the Duchess of the country is old, and the affairs in the house are taught to the eldest daughter-in-law to take care of, and she lives a life of teasing her grandson.

The old lady's marriage to Niu Jian is the same as that of the eldest lady, as long as he is willing to marry back, and he doesn't care about his background. didn't expect that in the end, it was the concubine of Rongguo Mansion, and she was even more satisfied.

Due to the large number of people in the Zhenguo Mansion, they usually eat in their respective courtyards, and only go to the old lady in the main house on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. Jia Qian was married for half a year for various reasons, and only got in close contact with the old lady, and the old lady saw her strange appearance that time, and then she avoided Jia Qian from afar.

It's nothing, and Jia Qian is willing not to be restrained in front of her mother-in-law and mother-in-law. But Niu Yan was very curious because of the change in the attitude of her mother and grandmother, she remembered that when her second brother got married, her mother was very satisfied with Jia Qian, but she avoided it in just half a year, and her mother looked very scared.

This attention, Niu Yan paid a careful and secret visit, and found that there were many strange things, and the old people in the family also avoided Na Jia Qian, even the second and third aunts. Some time ago, the big girl in her house finally inquired about her mother's mouth.

When Niu Yan found out, she was very surprised, she had heard about the second brother and the concubine, but she was young at that time and had never seen the concubine. didn't think that the second brother was willing to marry the daughter of the Jia family, just because it was eight points similar to the concubine, and even the name got the same word. It's really sad.

Since then, Niu Yan has always seen Jia Qian with mockery in her eyes. Today, the two met again in the garden, Niu Yan just snorted, and wanted to leave, Jia Qian had been resentful for a long time, so she said: "My sister is really good to educate, and when she saw me, she didn't even say hello, it can be seen that she didn't do her duty to raise my grandmother, so I went back to my wife and changed it for the girl." ”

"You are worthy of being called my sister-in-law. Niu Yan said disdainfully.

"Sister, how do you say this, I married your second brother and is your second sister-in-law, is this also wrong?" Jia Qian said angrily: "Or is the second master not your brother?"

"Of course, the second brother is the elder brother of this girl, as for you?" Niu Yanmei's eyes rolled and smiled lightly, "It's okay not to mention it." ”

"You tell me clearly, I am your Niu family's three books and six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs are carried into the door. ”

"That's what you want to hear, don't rely on me in the end. ”

"Tell me, I want to hear what you have to say?" Jia Qian said.

"Do you know that my second brother had a concubine before, and they grew up together. The second brother liked it very much, and he almost didn't even want to marry the previous second sister-in-law, and finally had to marry under the pressure of his grandfather, and then he was cold to the second sister-in-law. It didn't take long for the concubine to die, and the second brother lived a good life with the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law died in childbirth, and the second brother was alone, and my mother didn't urge him to look for it again. Niu Yan paused, "Until the second brother wants to marry you when he sees you, do you know why? It's really a similar person, and even the identity is almost the same, a person is a girl, a slave and a maid. ”

Niu Yan was about to leave after speaking, but she turned around and said, "I forgot to say that the girl's name is Qian'er, and her name was obtained by my second brother, and I heard that your Qian was also obtained by my second brother, so it can be seen that you and her are the same in the second brother's heart." ”

When Jia Qian heard this, she stood there blankly, her face expressionless. The girls around her were scared. The waiter Jia Qian came back to her senses and went directly out of Zhenguo Mansion and returned to Rongguo Mansion, crying and making trouble for a while at the old lady's place, and was just pulled away by her aunt.

After Jia Daishan heard this, Fang said: "Mother, you persuade the three girls to order this matter, the little concubine is dead, what is there to worry about." Although she is a stepwife, her sister-in-law did not leave a son and a half daughter, and she is no different from her wife. ”

"I also persuaded it, but the three girls couldn't think about it for a while. That's what her aunt would tell her about it. ”

"However, the three girls have been wronged by this matter, what are you going to do, mother?"

"I want to let the husband and wife go to the town government first, the cause and effect of this matter must be explained in advance, and the girl of the Niu family should be taught well. The old lady replied.

"Well, Mother, I have something for you. ”

"Tell me what's going on. ”

"I'm afraid it's not good for me to go to the Lin family to see Jing'anhou today. ”

"Really, alas, what a pity to leave orphans and widows. ”

"Jing'an Hou asked me to take care of the mother and son, and I agreed. Jia Daishan continued.

"Yes, take care of it if you can. "The old lady didn't disagree with this, and Mrs. Lin also grew up watching her.

"Well, my son likes the Lin family very much, and he sees that he is close to Min'er in age, and he took the initiative to marry the Lin family. ”

"Oh, just get married, that's a good thing. The old lady didn't reflect for a while, "What? What did you just say, who did you marry?"

"Min'er and Lin Hai, the brother of the Lin family. ”

"You, nonsense, are so sloppy in getting married. Do you know what kind of temperament that brother has?" said the old lady angrily.

"My son looks at Lin Hai well, he looks like a talent, he has been admitted to Xiucai at a young age, the Lin family has a simple population, and he is just right with Min'er. Jia Daishan explained.

"'It's been a lot, big may not be good', haven't you heard the words, how old is Brother Lin, and his temperament has not yet been decided. ”

"It is possible for others, but it is impossible for Lin Hai, if Jing'an Hou dies, he can be regarded as a young and fatherless, at this time, our family is also grateful for a little help. At that time, he will be close to our family, and it will be impossible for him to be bad to Min'er. And what I like the most is one of their family rules, where children are over thirty years old can take concubines, and I am also willing to marry Min'er. ”

"That's not bad, since it's all decided, it can't be up to you and Jing'anhou to make a verbal appointment, it's better to make this matter official. ”

"My son knows, and seeing that Jing'anhou is no longer good, this matter still needs to be done quickly. Mother, take a look at the good days recently, change the two families and two Geng stickers, and then prepare them in the yamen. ”

"Okay, let's do it, don't make it too big, just find two families to be witnesses, after all, the Jingti" Speaking of this, the old lady couldn't go on, "Oh, by the way, Min'er said that staying at home is a little boring, I think this day is getting hotter, and my granddaughter-in-law has a place to marry Zhuangzi in the summer palace, so I asked her to stay there with my granddaughter-in-law for a few days." And when will that Zheng'er go out of Beijing, won't he suffer when the weather gets hot?"

"Son, I know, let Min'er and them bring a few more people, so it's safer. As for Zheng'er, it also depends on the arrangement of Mr. Jia Daishan replied.

The clouds are thousands of feet leaning on Danqiu, and the mountains and rivers are receiving.

Early the next morning, Jia Yu sent his wife and sister to Zhang Qiong's wedding Zhuangzi, the scenery here is very good, there are mountains, water, orchards, high-quality paddy fields, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the royal summer palace, and the nearby grange is also owned by the eunuchs in Beijing, which is very safe.

The orchard of the villa is a slope and hilly terrain, planted with some fruit trees, Zhang Qiong and Jia Min live in the courtyard in the center of the Zhuangzi, because the courtyard is small, there are not so many ear room compartments, and the doors and windows are open. In addition to the three wide-sided rooms in the middle, the other houses are not only close to the people living and a few utility rooms, but also the left and right wings that can be used as guest rooms and the gatekeeper for the doorkeeper to live.

The housekeeper was Zhang Qiong's eldest girl, and she came to this village after getting married, and she didn't stop since she received the news that Zhang Qiong was coming, and she cleaned up the yard inside and outside early, and took the quilt soft pillow to dry in the sun after cleaning, and personally brought the head of the village to wait outside the village.

"Since the slave maid got married, the girl has not been to this Zhuangzi. She said happily, "How is the girl doing these days?" Once or twice a year, she took the opportunity to go to Zhang's Mansion to enter the output of the Zhuangzi, and the master and servant were able to meet. But such an opportunity has not existed since Zhang Qiong got married.

"It's all good. Zhang Qiong smiled, "Didn't you give birth to two children? Why don't you bring them to me to see?"

"Hey, it's too skinny, climbing trees and catching birds all day long, tossing in the mud, and not taking care of it, the slave and maid don't dare to bring it to the girl to sacrifice their ugliness. She smiled, getting married and having children was a little fatter than before, but her smart and cheerful temperament had not changed at all.

Zhang Qiong smiled, didn't say anything, pointed at Jia Min and said, "This is my sister-in-law, you can just call the girl." ”

"Yes. Hello girl, is it better to wash up and rest for a while or eat?" It's not yet dinner, but Linglong knows that she is the master of three meals a day in the house, which is different from ordinary families.

"I'll rest for a while, wake up and eat. Others can eat first when they are hungry. "It's really uncomfortable to sit in the carriage for so long" Min'er, what about you?" Zhang Qiong turned around and asked.

Jia Min was already a little stunned, and said without hesitation: "I also want to take a break, and then I will talk about it." ”

When they woke up, Zishi and Mama had already arranged the things they had brought, and Linglong even asked Zishi to prepare their favorite food.

The May Forest was full of new greenery, and I remembered that many poems depicted that Zhang Qiong and Jia Min took everyone to climb the mountain early the next morning.

At this time, when everything is in full bloom in spring, I occasionally see fresh and pleasant wild vegetables, mushrooms unearthed after fresh rain, or some delicious wild fruits in the mountains, so I pick a lot of them and bring them back to the village.

Jia Min was only ten years old, and after walking for a while, he was weak, so everyone rested in place for a while, and turned back when they saw that it was not too early.

The sun is warm and golden, the scenery can be put into the painting, and Jia Min and Zhang Qiong have the interest of stroking the piano, drinking, and dancing under the flowers.

"Sister, can you dance? You see that this day is so good, and there are no outsiders, let's dance together. ”

"What, dance, sister-in-law, don't scare me. Jia Min always thought that Zhang Qiong was a quiet and steady person, and in her previous life, she didn't find that she liked to dance.

"Zishu, go and bring my 'Luqi' over, purple poems, purple paintings, and remember that ancient song. Zhang Qiong ignored Jia Min, dancing didn't even know about her mother, it was a secret hobby of her, if her mother knew, she would definitely be detained. A girl from a good family who can learn to dance

"Grandma, you're—"

Zhang Qiong smiled: "I want to dance, do you want Min'er to join me?" I'll teach you, I used to dance secretly at home."

"Sister-in-law, no need. Jia Min still couldn't accept it.

Mama Qian was taken aback, "The slave maid will arrange it first." "You can't let the idlers see it.

"I'm going to get ready, too. With that, he turned back to the courtyard.

As soon as Zhang Qiong came out after dressing up, everyone was stunned!

The spring crow-like hair is combed into a fairy bun, half hanging down behind the back, and the arms are tied with pink ribbons;

The slender and graceful body wears a peach-colored wrap chest with pink and white flowers, a long skirt covered with snow silk yarn, a high waist of the same color, and the floor-length skirt is embroidered from bottom to top with layers of peach blossoms from deep and shallow, the sleeves are as long as a cigarette belt, the skirt is thin like a smoke cage, there are peach petals flying between them, and flowers and butterflies are flying......

Just like the goddess in the painting, it's so beautiful!

"Are you ready?" In addition to Zishu playing the guqin, Zihua and Zishi also put two musical instruments in front of them to accompaniment, they haven't played this piece together for a long time, and they are all a little contemplative at this time, and Mama Qian, who came back in a hurry, was very surprised.

When Jia Yu sent to the village to pick them up, he had not yet entered the peach forest, and he heard the music.

He quickened his pace, passing through the horizontal crimson and light red, and was stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of him! The people on the green field raised their arms, shook their shoulders, threw their sleeves, bent their waists, and the ribbons flew over, like a cloud roll, sprinkled like a bright glow with silk, stepped on the snow and returned to the wind, the breeze and the bright moon, the butterflies flew and danced, the head of the mantis turned and turned, the lips smiled lightly, and the waves were looking forward to the flow of waves, and the hearts of people were intoxicated... But the Yiren want to fly away—

"He'an!" Jia Yu was startled, stepped forward and hugged her, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Zhang Qiong didn't expect this scene to be seen by her husband, and she was very uneasy, but she was relieved to see that her face was amazing and there was nothing wrong with it.
