4. The fourth round

The next day, Jia Min wanted to say goodbye to his grandmother, but I don't know how Jia's mother found out, so she sent Brother Parrot (There are always so many names of the girls around Jia's mother, and they are not the same as the original book.) Let's let her recuperate, and wait for the doctor to say it's okay before she can go out, and the old lady has already helped her say that she doesn't have to go to ask for peace these days.

Jia Min had no choice but to stay in the house in peace, and in the past few days, she has picked up the important things that happened in her previous life. When she was alone, she either wanted Yu'er's life in Jia's family, or she wanted to live in Yangzhou. Now think about it, there are three of her happiest days, one of which is that as Miss Jia Jiayan, her father loved her mother at that time. The second is that when she was newly married, she and her husband were also in love, but this affection slowly faded after many years of nothingness, and the third was when she was pregnant with Yu'er, although she was a daughter, she was also a surprise to the couple who had no children for many years, even if she had Hao'er later, she did not reduce half a point. As the saying goes, first bitter and then sweet, and the ups and downs of her life are sweet first and then bitter. During this period of recuperation, she figured out how to get along with Jia's mother, and now Jia's mother really loves her, she should not be entangled in the grievances of her previous life, she should repay it. But you can't believe it too much, if it happens, Jia Mu wants to plan against her, and she can't be stupid and let it go.

A few days later, Jia's mother invited the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse. After getting the imperial doctor to make it clear that her body had recovered, Jia's mother gave her a ban.

After getting up in the morning and freshening up, Jia Min took Mama Qian Cai Mei Cailan and a few girls to Jia's mother to say goodbye. Out of the courtyard, through the verandah across the courtyard, to the courtyard where Jia's mother lived, before entering the courtyard, the rough maids, mothers-in-law have avoided saluting. The girl guarding the door raised the bamboo curtain and shouted to the house, "Miss Min is here." ”

Entering the room, a fresh fragrance came to the face, and it smelled even better. Jia Min looked around and remembered the same, at this time Jia's mother was still the wife of the house, and the furnishings in the house were furniture made of rosewood, showing a solemn dà square, with a hint of liveliness.

At this time, a maid came up and said, "Girl, why did you come so early, and my wife has just gotten up and is washing and combing." ”

Jia Min fixed his eyes and said, it turned out to be a mandarin duck and said: "I have slept too much in the past few days, so I got up early, and besides, I haven't come to my mother for several days, of course I have to come early, is this my filial piety." It's just that I haven't seen Sister Mandarin Duck for a few days, and she is getting better and better, and she is three points better than the peach blossom. You say yes, don't you? ”

"What the girl said is, you see that Sister Mandarin Duck is not redder than that peach blossom, haha." The girls in the house all chimed in.

"Girl, it's really just a few days before you make fun of people, it's really a clever mouth." The mandarin duck's cheeks turned crimson and said coquettishly, and then turned to the girl in the room and said, "You little hooves, the girl said that it doesn't matter, you also join in the fun." ”

"Sister Mandarin Duck, we are praising you for being more beautiful than Huajiao, and you are not happy." After speaking, there was even more laughter.

In the inner room, Jia's mother was already dressed up under the service of Jade and Amber, and just as she was about to leave the inner room, she heard the sound of laughter outside, and her eyebrows frowned slightly. The jade on the side knew that Jia Mu was slightly angry when she saw it, so she hurriedly walked out and said, "What's the trouble early in the morning, mandarin duck, why don't you serve tea when the girl comes, the little girl doesn't understand the rules, do you understand?" After speaking, she gave a slight look to the mandarin duck and told her that her wife was unhappy.

When the girls in the house heard this, they all bowed their heads silently, and did their own things in an orderly manner, and the mandarin duck saw Jade's eyes, knowing that Jia's mother was unhappy and couldn't help but worry. And Jia Min, who was at the table, looked at the expressions of Jade and Mandarin Duck in his eyes, got up and replied: "Sister Jade, you can't blame Sister Mandarin Duck and the girls, it's all Min'er who is not good, and I apologize to you here." After saying that, Yingying was full.

Seeing that Jia Min really saluted her, Jade hurriedly avoided panic and said, "Girl, this is not a slave and maid." The slave is just a girl, how can she afford the girl's apology? ”

Jia's mother listened to Jia Min's words at first, and felt angry in her heart, thinking that the girl next to her was not so big that she dared to make her flesh-like daughter make amends. These girls should have beaten them well, and then they heard Jade's reply to be a little better. walked out of the inner room, came to Jia Min's side, hugged her into his arms, and doted: "You little devil, the person who made trouble with me early in the morning turned over on his back, tell my mother what is funny." ”

Jia Min replied: "Mother, Min'er didn't make trouble, she just said that Sister Mandarin Duck is better looking than Peach Blossom." ”

"Is your little mouth smeared with honey, you are used to saying something nice to make others happy." Although these words were said to Jia Min, her eyes looked at the mandarin duck, only her face was like a peach blossom, her eyebrows were like green feathers, her muscles were like snow, and her waist was like a bundle of su. You've been by my side for almost six years, it's been so long, and you've grown up as a big girl, isn't it time for you to say goodbye? Seeing that I am old and almost forgot about this, don't I miss you, so you go home today, talk to your old son and mother, and let them show you the face, if there is a good family, I will prepare a dowry for you at that time, so that you can marry decently, and it will be in vain for you to serve me. Don't be blushing, and I'll have one for you when the time comes. "The last sentence is to Jade, Perh, and a few of them.

Mandarin Duck blushed and was very embarrassed when she heard Jia's mother talk about her marriage at first, but when she heard it, she turned pale. Everyone knows that the marriages of the first-class girls around the wife are all selected by the wife, and they are all people with bright futures. How did she get here, but it was up to Lao Tzu Niang to decide. Doesn't this send her out like a normal girl? She couldn't understand why his wife would do this to her.

"I don't want to get married, how can I marry someone with my wife, wife, you can't do without me." Perhu said flatteringly, from Mrs. Just's words, she understood that Mandarin Duck had been given up by Mrs. But she understands that other people are also smart people. Prepare to slowly alienate the mandarin ducks.

Jia Min was very happy to see that his goal had been achieved. smiled and said: "Mother, I also said that Min'er sipped honey, I think it's worse than Sister Perhu." ”

"You're all sweet-mouthed, okay." Seeing her daughter's smiling face, Mother Jia coaxed lightly. Then he said to the Amber women, "It is the principle of heaven that the male should marry and the female should marry." Don't talk about not marrying in the future. If you really get married, you can also come back to be a managing grandmother, just like Mama Lai. ”

The girls in the house all liked it when they heard this, and the wife had four wedding girls, but this Lai Mama had the best life and was courteous, and even the little masters in the house saw her and took the initiative to say hello. If they really become like Mama Lai, they don't have to worry about it for the rest of their lives. In contrast, the mandarin ducks have no fun.

Jia Min had enough of appreciating the mandarin duck's expression, and secretly thought in his heart, finally breathing a sigh of relief for Yu'er. In the previous life, the mandarin duck was reused by Jia's mother, and later married Lai Da, the son of Lai's grandmother, and gave birth to Lai Shangrong, and his son was graced by Jiafu, donated his future, and became a magistrate, but the Jia family was defeated but ungrateful, and he didn't even borrow silver. And what made Jia Min most annoyed was that because Jia's mother lost power in her old age, in order to tie up with Mrs. Wang, she used Yu'er as a raft and spread Yu'er rumors everywhere in Jia's mansion, which is really a wall-to-wall grass.

"Mother, Min'er is hungry, when are we going to have breakfast?" Jia Min said.

"What? You came without breakfast? After speaking, his eyes swept over Mama Qian and them, and said angrily: "How did you take care of the girl, why did you let the girl go out before breakfast?" ”

Mama Qian and the others all admitted their mistakes, and Jia Min couldn't bear to say: "Min'er hasn't eaten with her mother for a few days due to illness, and she misses it very much, so she came early today to use it with her mother." It has nothing to do with the grandmothers, and for some reason, I always feel that Min'er's food is not as sweet as here, mother, are you hiding good things? ”

"You girl is talking nonsense, I don't make any different meals from the kitchen, so what's the difference." Mother Jia smiled angrily, turned her head and said to Mama Qian who was kneeling on the ground, "Okay, let's get up." Since the girl said that it has nothing to do with you, then this time there will be no punishment. It's just that you have to understand that the girl is still young, and there are always times when things are not thoughtful, so you should admonish more. ”

Qian Mama and the others bowed their heads in response, and there were already bird's nest porridge and duck porridge on the table, a plate of tofu skin buns, a plate of cream pine rolls, a plate of chicken fat rolls, a plate of crab meat siu mai and some side dishes, a total of two porridge, four dim sum and six side dishes. Mother Jia took her to the table and sat down to eat quietly, 'food is silent, sleep is silent' is the rule of the family.

After using it, Jia Min retired, and Jia's mother wanted to keep her, but when she heard that she was going to ask the old lady for peace, she let her go.

The old lady lives in the Chunhui Courtyard in the west of Rongxi Hall, which is connected to the main house where Jia's mother lives, but because Jia's mother and the old lady are not in harmony, the small door in the middle is locked all the year round. Jia Min walked out of the main courtyard to the west, and came to Chunhui Courtyard in half a pillar of incense, and came to the small three rooms along the verandah, where Mama Gu was waiting for the old lady, and saw Jia Min come forward to salute

"Mama Gu, you don't need to be so polite, how can you pick me up in person, just let those little girls do it." Jia Min hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Girl, you can't afford to be polite." After speaking, he still saluted. After that, he took her hand and said as he walked: "Girl, this disease looks like she has lost a little weight, but she needs to make up for it." ”

"Mama, it's not thin, it's grown taller, don't you see?" He stood solemnly as he spoke.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's about to be a big girl, and the threshold of the house will be trampled in a few years, I don't know if the old slave will be able to see it then." Mama Gu said.

"Mama is talking nonsense, you and grandmother will definitely live a long life." Jia comforted, but he didn't understand the meaning of 'the threshold can be trampled on' for a while.

"If the real girl said, won't the old slave and the old lady become old goblins by then." Mama Gu quipped. The girls next to them were amused by the words 'old goblin'.

Jia Min just wanted to reply, they had already come to the main room. Entering the house, he was dressed in a round-necked cardigan trimmed with black satin in gray-blue poplin and a black-colored horse-faced skirt. His flaxen hair was tied on top of his head and pressed against a red gold hairpin, and his forehead was covered with pine yellow beads, and he sat on the soft floor with a kind face.

"Please grandmother, I don't know how my grandmother is doing lately." Jia Min asked.

"Girl Min is here, come, come to Grandmother. Why haven't I seen it for a few days, this little face has lost so much weight. The old lady pulled her to her side, touched her face and said distressedly.

Mama Gu listened and said with a smile: "When the old slave saw it just now, he also felt that the girl had lost weight, but the girl said that she had grown taller. ”

The old lady took Jia Min's hands and looked at it: "It's tall, but it's also thin, you can't mess around in the future, even if you go out with Yu'er, you have to take people with you, you know?" ”

"Grandmother, Min'er has already been reprimanded by her mother, so don't be disciplined." Coquettishly.

"Then you have a long memory, fortunately you are only sick, and you are really blessed by the Bodhisattva." Hands clasped together and chanted. "You also bring the girl's favorite snacks."

"Grandmother, no, I've just had breakfast, and I'm not hungry."

"Then I'll give you some honey water, you can't drink too much tea when you're still young. Let's all go out, it's a hot day, and it's stuffy with too many people. The old lady said.

When the girls heard this, they all walked out, leaving only Mama Qian and Mama Gu, who poured a glass of honey water for Jia Min and stood behind the old lady.

When Jia Min saw the old lady sending everyone away, she asked, "Grandmother, do you have something to say to Min'er?" ”

"You're such a clever elf. The big girl next to Tian Yu'er said that he was weird these days, neither playing with his treasures anymore, nor laughing with those girls, and locking himself in the study in a daze every day. When I came to ask for peace yesterday, I was asked to send those unruly girls away. So Grandmother wants to ask you if you said something to Yu'er. The old lady said, adding, "Don't say you don't know, but he has changed since he saw you." ”

"Heh, heh, nothing can escape Grandmother's eyes." Jia Min replied, slowly telling the old lady about the events of that day, including the matter of Yuzhu, and finally said: "Grandmother, you said that Min'er guessed right." ”

When the old lady heard this, her face changed, and she also understood the strictness of the matter. The old lady's maiden family was originally a Shandong family and has been for eight generations. There is a lot to see. She lowered her head and thought for a while and said, "Min'er, it's not unreasonable to guess, that person must have something to do with the royal family, as for whether it is the fifth prince or not, this is not sure." But this is probably unintentional, after all, your father is not in the house, and the reputation of the pardon outside is not good, so what can you want? The most important thing is that the current saint has not yet passed the age of no confusion, is in good health, and thinks that he will have twenty or thirty years to live. And the prince is also favored and supported by the ministers. I'm afraid that even the princes don't dare to have other ideas. ”

"Grandmother is right, it's Min'er who thinks too much." Jia Min replied.

"Alas, how much do you think about it, it would be good if this situation remained for more than ten years at most. The saint is suspicious, and the prince under the crown prince grows up and becomes a threat to him. If the prince is angry, it is easy to say, if he can't be afraid, it will inevitably be another struggle. The old lady sighed. Jia Min was very shocked when she heard it, she didn't expect the old lady to say so accurately about the future trend, which shows that she is extraordinary. It's just that she doesn't understand how the old lady's upbringing in her big brother is so nonsense.
