63. Chapter 63
Jia Min transferred Shui Zhi's family to her marriage Zhuangzi, in fact, this matter is not difficult, but when I heard that the Zhuangzi where the person is located belongs to the second room, her face is a little embarrassed, and when she thinks that Wang Ji is pregnant, every time she sees her, she is a tall portrait, and her expression is often contemptuous, which makes Zhang Qiong very uncomfortable. However, for Jia Min's sake, she still responded to this matter, "Sister, I know about this, don't worry, I'll help you transfer someone tomorrow." It's just that how to arrange that person when he arrives in Zhuangzi?" Zhang Qiong thought that the family was Jia Min's eldest girl's family after all, and it stands to reason that if she was generally a first-class girl, that person must be the master's confidant, and I don't know if Jia Min will reuse that family.
"There is no need to arrange anything, what they did in the previous Zhuangzi, what they did in the new Zhuangzi, let the steward be the same as before, and there is no need to treat them special because of me. Jia Min said with a smile, even if she has the heart to cultivate her henchmen, she is not in a hurry, although Shui Zhi is a good person, it does not mean that her family is the same, this must be carefully observed.
Jia Min left, Zhang Qiong went directly to Jia Zheng's courtyard, found Wang Jian to tell the matter straight to the point, and kindly mentioned it before leaving: " Brother and sister, although this matter should not be said by me, but although the big house and the second room have been separated, but in the end everyone is still living together, I am also kind to mention, this slave is to get the face of the master but after all is still a slave, is a slave must abide by the rules, this thing happened in their own village, it doesn't matter, but if you don't beat it well, those slaves' hearts will be bigger, and they may have to betray the master in the future, I heard the uncle say, there are many bad things in our house that were sent to the yamen, that is from the old lady to the house, this is the love of several lifetimes, but bad things still have to be sent outγ With that, she left.
Wang Zhen felt a pain in her heart, what did Zhang Qiong mean, was she laughing at her regardless of the people under her jurisdiction, or laughing at her for not being as good as a girl in the main room, at this time, Xi'er saw Zhang Qiong leaving and just came in to prepare to serve Wang Qiong. Wang Jian saw that she was full of anger on Xi'er's body, and directly threw Zhang Qiong's unfinished tea and teacup on Xi'er's body, and scolded angrily: "I originally gave you face, but I didn't expect you to be born cheap, and you can't afford to enjoy any blessings, others are a girl in the room, you are also a roommate, and your appearance is no worse than others, and you can't hold the master at all, so what use do I want you." After scolding, seeing that she didn't have a wooden face, the anger in her mouth was even more panicked, "If you don't get out, I'll be angry when I see your face." β
Xi'er listened, and after saluting, she retreated, and the indifferent look seemed to be that the person who was beaten and scolded was not her, if you look closely, you will find that the beautiful eyes are full of despair. His hands also clenched the sleeves of his shirt. Zhao Xi'er heard Wang Zhen's scolding in the side room, pursed her lips, and whispered: "I don't know what spirit is being sent." β
Jia Zheng came back from outside, first went to the courtyard of Jia Shi's house, the girl next to Jia Shi's also heard some rumors about the Zhao family, because it was about the second master's girl when he came back, he told Jia Shi's about it, although Jia Shi's took the initiative to give Zhao Xi'er to Jia Zheng as a room, but that was because Jia Zheng begged her privately, as the wife of the main house and all the main houses in the world, she didn't like to have a room, aunt and the like, "It turns out that I am also a good person, but I didn't expect it to be a few days, this fox tail can't be hidden, it's really a face." "I don't like Zhao Xi'er more and more in my heart.
Seeing Jia Zhengye, although it is a son, after all, it is a matter of the son's backyard, plus the son also married a wife and had a child, she didn't know what to say, just mentioned a little: "Zheng'er, now the second daughter-in-law is pregnant is hard, you, usually be considerate to her, after all, she is your flesh and blood in her belly, and the others who can't lift their faces are good and slaves. β
Jia Zheng's face was flushed when he was said, he thought that his mother was warning him not to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, and thinking that he had been to the side courtyard a lot these days, he nodded hurriedly to indicate that he understood. Jia Shishi didn't leave him and let him go back to the courtyard directly. When Jia Zheng returned to the courtyard, he didn't raise his legs to go to the study as usual, but thought about his mother's words, went to the main courtyard to see Wang Zhen, and when he entered the house, he saw that Wang Zhen was taking care of things, as if he was giving gifts, and now he is rude, and he has not heard that someone has a family banquet recently, so it is difficult to say that there is something on the Wang family's side?
Wang Zhen saw Jia Zheng coming, looking at him, he was afraid that he had just come back from outside, and he came to see her directly before he even changed his clothes, and she was still angry, and she was also happy, "No, this is a gift for my sister-in-law, second master, you come to help me see if my sister-in-law will like these things, you also know that the little girl has different preferences from her, and she will not like what others like, which is worrying here, the second master came back to coincide, just refer to the details." β
"For my sister, my sister's birthday is still a few days away, so it's too early to give it now. Jia Zheng stepped forward and saw that there were all hairpins, hairpins, hairpins, and rings on the table, and some women's jewelry, all of which were made of gold and silver, and looked gorgeous. But because it is gold and silver, it looks even more tacky, Jia Zheng thinks about his sister's usual dress is never like the gold and silver jewelry piled up by others, thinking about these things, my sister is afraid that she will not like them, "I will prepare for my sister's birthday ceremony, you are still pregnant, it is important to take care of your body, don't bother these little things." Jia Zhengwei directly said that Jia Min didn't like this thing.
"The second master misunderstood, this is not a birthday gift, but an apology. Wang Zhen thought that Jia Zheng really cared about her body, so he let her not worry about these things, but he thought of her purpose and said.
"Apologize, what's wrong, what did you do to make my sister unhappy?" Jia Zheng wondered, although he was not often in the backyard, he also knew that the relationship between Wang Ji and his sister was not good, and it was not that there was any contradiction between the two of them, but his sister and Wang Wei were different from him in that they were as literate as him, and they were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they could talk about it even more with their sister-in-law who was born in a scholarly world. The relative relationship with Wang Xie is general, and Jia Zheng understands it very well, as if he wants him to be with those martial artists, he will not have anything to say.
"No, I'm in the yard today, and it's rare for my sister to come to us, so how can I offend her?" Wang Zheng was still happy, but he was upset by Jia Zheng's words, Jia Zheng didn't know anything, and asked if she had offended Jia Min, was she a person who often caused trouble in his heart?
"What's going on, what kind of apology to give to my sister. β
"Today's sister-in-law said that she wanted a few people from our Zhuangzi, I thought it was just a few slaves, since the sister-in-law opened this mouth, it didn't matter if she sent it, so she let people do it, but I didn't expect the person who went to come back and say that the few people who went to the sister-in-law happened to be a family, and the old man of that family was beaten by the steward in Zhuangzi. Now he is still lying at home. Wang Qisi said, "I thought that this person was the sister-in-law, and now that he was beaten, let people check what it was for, if it was a troublemaker, he couldn't give such a thing to the sister-in-law, but after thinking about it, he knew that this family was the parents and brother of the eldest girl Shui Zhi next to the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law was afraid that she was entrusted by the sister-in-law, and the family didn't do anything, but accidentally bumped into the housekeeper, and was beaten up, which is really pitiful." It's just that this person is the family of the girl next to the sister-in-law, and now he has been beaten in our village. I thought I should be double with my sister. β
Jia Zheng's whole face was not good-looking when he heard it, and since his father's purge, there has been no such domineering slave in the house, but he didn't expect such a slave to appear in his Zhuangzi, this person can fight if he wants, and he is still like a master, and he hurriedly asked: "What is the steward of Zhuangzi, who is so bold." β
"It's the Zhuangzi of Liujiazhuang in the suburbs of Beijing, I haven't heard of the arrogance of the steward before, and the account sent is also clear and honest, but I didn't expect to make such a feeling. Wang Zheng was puzzled, but her eyes secretly looked at Jia Zheng, when she heard Liu Jiazhuang, Jia Zheng's face turned red and white, and her breath became bigger, thinking that she was angry.
Jia Zheng listened to Wang Zhen's words and didn't understand anything, that Liu Jiazhuang's steward was changed by him personally, and he didn't tell Wang Ji about this, just because that person was Zhao Xi'er's father, Zhao Xi'er told him that his parents and brother lived in poverty, and she enjoyed the glory and wealth in the house, and his heart was very uneasyγ didn't think about it, he really slapped him in the face, and did such a thing, and also shocked his sister-in-law and sister-in-law, thinking that the sister-in-law and sister were afraid that they also knew the relationship between the manager and Zhao Xi'er, and they didn't know what they would think of him.
Wang Zhen looked at Jia Zheng's ugly face, and was very happy in his heart, how angry Jia Zheng is now, then Zhao Xi'er will be disgusted by Jia Zhengyou, it is best to directly beat Zhao Xi'er and the Zhao family out of the house, so she added fuel to the fire and said: "If you want me to say that it's not a big deal to beat up a subordinate, it's just that this beating of dogs depends on the owner, and he doesn't care about his sister-in-law in his eyes, and he doesn't know who supported him to make him so bold." Wang Zhen insinuated.
Sure enough, Jia Zheng thought of Zhao Xi'er as soon as he heard it, could it be that Zhao Xi'er relied on his favor these days to make the family behave like this, it seems that it is necessary to be cold to Zhao Xi'er, and let her know what the rules are: "You are the grandmother in charge, and the slaves below will be dealt with according to the rules if they commit a crime." Sister, I'll say it, my sister is not a stingy person, and I won't blame you, you can send those people to your sister quickly, and then give some rewards, which can be regarded as appeasement. Jia Zheng directly handed over the matter to Wang Zhen to deal with, whether she really didn't know that it was Zhao Xi'er's father, or if she didn't know. I'm afraid that the Zhao family will not be much better if it falls into her hands.
When Wang Zheng heard this, Jia Zheng wanted to hand over the Zhao family to be disposed of, she really fell into her hands, and she didn't care about Jia Zheng's absence, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face, Jia Zheng was a little disgusted when she saw it, and looked at Wang Zheng and thought that her sister-in-law was really incomparable, which made him envy Jia Yu, and said casually: "I still have some books that I haven't finished reading, go to the study first, and don't have to wait for me for dinner, you can use it yourself." With that, he left.
Wang Wei was stunned by what he said, he was fine just now, but at this time, he just left, as if he was still a little cold.
Lin Fan saw that the uncle had a new wound on his hand, and said distressedly: "Uncle, why do you need to learn that carving? Look at what your good hands have become, if the uncle wants to carve something, our family will ask the master to carve it, and you will have to do it yourself, the slaves are distressed when they see it, let alone Mrs." β
"I'm fine, this little injury is nothing, and I can't tell my wife when I get home, you know. If my mother found out, I would have copied the four books a hundred times. Lin Ruhai threatened with what Lin Fan was most afraid of.
Lin Fanruo looked at Lin Ruhai with a face, although he was literate, he was afraid of copying books since he was a child. Lin Ruhai was even happier when he saw him, and touched the thing in his arms again, his expression became gentle, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Lin Fan was also curious about how the uncle suddenly wanted to learn carving, he asked a few times, but the uncle refused to say, and the craftsmanship of the master who taught the uncle was also famous, in order to let the master hand him over, the uncle didn't know how many ways to get him to agree.
When Lin Ruhai returned home, he saw Zhuyun beside his mother wandering in his yard, he was happy to see the girl, so he stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Why are you here, is there something happened to your mother, is it sick again." "Since my mother took the pill given by Jia Min, her body has also improved a lot, and Dr. Qiu has also seen the pill, and I also cut a small piece and tasted it for insurance, Dr. Qiu's clever medical skills have also tasted several of these medicinal materials, but these medicinal materials are definitely useful for my mother's illness. Dr. Qiu also asked him which famous doctor he got the medicine from, and he couldn't say that Jia Min gave it to you, so he had to perfunctorily say that it was given to you by Lang Langzhong, and Dr. Qiu said again and again that it was a pity, a pity. And he said that the man's healing skills were superior to him. Although Lin Ruhai was also very curious about how Jia Min got this elixir, as far as he knew, if someone in Rongguo Mansion was sick, most of them would ask Dr. Qiu to come to the house, and if it was strict, they would ask the imperial doctor in the palace.
"Uncle, Madame is in good health and is not sick, but Madame saw that it was getting late and the uncle had not returned to the house, so she sent a slave to take a look. Zhuyun pretended to be coquettish. In fact, it wasn't Mrs. who asked her to come, it was she who came to the uncle's yard on her own initiative, she didn't want to do this, but today she heard Mama actually mention the marriage of their four girls to Mrs.
Lin Ruhai listened to her reply, it was different from usual, a little weird, just looked at her as a person next to her mother, and didn't say anything, "You go back first, I'll ask my mother to go later." With that, he stepped into the hospital.
Zhuyun saw that Lin Ruhai didn't look at her much, and she was a little disappointed in her heart. But he was worried that she would be found by his wife and grandmother after she had been away for too long, so he hurried back to the backyard. Before she arrived, she met Zhu Xi, who had the best relationship with her, and her face was a little anxious, and when she saw her, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her: "Where did you go, Mrs. happened to be looking for you just now, I said that you had a bad stomach, and this is the circle, don't say anything about leaking your mouth when you go back." β
Zhuyun said gratefully: "Zhuxi, thank you, otherwise I will be punished by Mama again." β
"Hey, it's fine. What kind of relationship are the two of us? Zhu Xi smiled, and after a while, she didn't know what to think, her little face was slightly red, and she whispered to Zhu Yun with a little joy: "Zhu Yun, do you know, my mother secretly told me that Mrs. wants to marry the family, and Mama also asked me if my mother plans to find it by herself, or Mrs. will be in charge." Speaking of the back, she was a little embarrassed, according to her father's meaning, she wanted to entrust her life to Mrs., after all, she had been by Mrs. for several years, and Mrs. would not treat her badly. The person you choose is definitely better than the one you find at home.
Zhuyun looked at her happy appearance and said disdainfully: "What's so good about this, don't you still have to marry a slave in the end." β
Zhu Xi has always known that Zhu Yun is arrogant, but she didn't expect that she would be so high, and she disdains the servants in the house, but they themselves are also slaves, what's wrong with being a slave, if you are a small person outside, your life is not necessarily better than them, her cousin's house is in a village near the capital, and her family has a little land, but that day is also tight, not as good as their family? Thinking of this, she was a little worried:" Do you want to marry outside, but although the people outside don't have to be slaves and maids, those days are not easy. β
"Although I am going to get married, I don't want to get married, I will stay in the house to serve my wife for the rest of my life. Zhuyun said in annoyance.
Zhu Xi laughed when she heard this, "If you don't marry for the rest of your life, how is this possible, my mother said that girls should marry when they are older, and if you don't marry, will your uncle and aunt agree?"
When Zhuyun heard this, she also thought that her father and mother would never let her be a girl for the rest of her life, but she was still reluctant to be an uncle in her heart, and muttered: "Anyway, I won't marry." β
Zhu Xi wanted to persuade her, but when she saw that she had arrived at Mrs. Grande's yard, the two of them didn't mention it and went to do things. It's just that they didn't notice that someone behind them had heard everything they had said.
Lin Ruhai looked at the place where Lin Fan still looked at the two girls leaving, and said with a smile: "Why do you fall in love with those two girls? You are also seventeen, and it is time to marry a daughter-in-law, how can I really forget such a big thing on my negligence, but fortunately, it is not too late now, which of those two girls do you like? I will let my mother make the decision for you." β
"Uncle, I, I, I" Lin Fan was a little embarrassed when Lin Ruhai saw through his heart, but he really wanted him to say it clearly, and he was really embarrassed, so I didn't say who I liked for a long time.
"Is it the girl in the blue gown, she looks good, and she matches you, and I'll tell my mother later, she likes matchmaking the most when she gets old, and I'll be happy to come." "With his understanding of Lin Fan, I am afraid that he likes the girl named Zhu Xi even more, although that girl is not as good-looking as Zhu Xiang, but she is innocent in temperament, and she is also very righteous, and more importantly, she is very content, not like Zhu Yun's heart. Lin Ruhai returned to the courtyard and thought about the girl's expression, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and his mother rarely let the girl come to his courtyard, even if there was something, he didn't let the grandmother come, thinking about this, he didn't go back to the room to change his clothes and went directly out of his mother's yard, which was also a coincidence, and he listened to the words of the two girls word for word.
"Uncle, no, I didn't have a crush on that person, I thought, I want another. Lin Fan said his mind in a hurry, he was afraid that the uncle would match the pearl cloud to him, and he didn't want that pearl cloud, the sentence just now was not to marry a slave, which made him very angry, and he didn't want to think that she herself was also a slave, and she didn't want to marry a slave, so it was difficult to marry the master, the master of the Lin family was the uncle, that girl had a really big heart, and she wanted to be an uncle, it was really a daydream.
"Okay, I'll tell my mother in a moment, I promise to let you get your way. It's just that you don't think about it anymore, maybe other girls will be better? Lin Ruhai quipped, Lin Fan was taught very strictly by Uncle An since he was a child, and he was like an adult at a young age, and he rarely looked so embarrassed.
"Uncle, no need, no need. β
Lin Ruhai laughed, even Mrs. Lin in the house heard his laughter, and when he entered the room, he was curious: "Hai'er, why are you so happy?"
"Mother, there is a happy event, and I hope that my mother can become an adult. Lin Ruhai said with a smile, and his words made the people in the house think of Pianpian, the Lin family is also a scholarly family, and most of the people who serve around the master are also literate, and most of the meaning of this adult beauty is also known. Mrs. Lin calmly waited for his next words, Lin Ruhai took the look of the person in the room into his eyes, and said: "Lin Fan, this kind of thing is difficult to do, and I will tell you uncle, why don't you say it quickly." β
Lin Fan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Lin, "Madam, minion, minion" Seeing that everyone in the room was looking at him, Lin Fan closed his eyes and said directly: "Madam, the slave has taken a fancy to Zhuxi and wants to marry her, please Mrs. please ask Mrs. to do all." β
As soon as Lin Fan's words came out, Na Zhuxi's face turned red, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she couldn't help but feel a little disgusted for Lin Fan's recklessness, and she said such a thing in front of so many people, and she wished that there was a hole in the ground for her to get into. In addition to being a little embarrassed, there are also some surprises and sweetness in my heart.
Mrs. Lin was also happy after hearing this, "Yes, it's a happy event, can you agree to Zhuxi's family matter?"
Zhu Xi was embarrassed, but she couldn't help but reply to Madame's question, so she had to reply: "Madam, the slave maid said that the marriage of the slave and maid is the master of the lady. After speaking, he couldn't help but look at Lin Fan, but when he saw that he was also looking at her anxiously, he looked away embarrassedly. Mrs. Lin also saw the expressions of the two in her eyes, and thought that it would be considered a consensual relationship, so she smiled and said: "Since this is the case, let Lin An choose a good day to propose, Zhuxi has also served me for a few years, and Mama should prepare a dowry for her, which is also her credit in the past few years." β
"Yes, ma'am. Mama replied, she was also happy for the girl Zhuxi, and it was also a very good place to marry Lin Fan.
Except for Zhu Yun, the girls in the house are very envious of Zhu Xi, they are really lucky to be able to marry Lin Fan, you must know that Lin Fan is the youngest son of the big housekeeper Lin An, who grew up with the uncle since he was a child, and he has nothing to say about the future in the future, and although Lin Fan's family is a slave, it is really three points better than the ordinary rich people outside.
Zhu Xi herself is also happy, just now she talked to Zhu Yun about marriage, she didn't want to go, but after a while, her family affairs were decided, and the person she married was Lin Fan, who all the girls in the house wanted to marry.
After Mrs. Lin was happy, she looked at her son wearing a clothes for going out, "Hai'er, why don't you freshen up first when you come back, it's so easy to relax." β
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai casually glanced at Zhuyun, and when he saw her expression, he said: "When my son came back, I met the girl next to my mother in the front yard and said that my mother was worried that her son would return late and was very anxious, so I came over first to greet my mother and let my mother feel at ease." β
As soon as his words came out, Zhuyun's face turned pale, his hands were clenched tightly, trying to calm himself down, and thinking about how she would answer if Mrs. asked him, Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel cold when she heard this, she never let the girls around her go to the front yard, because of the Lin family rules, she also deliberately did not let the girls have too much contact with Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai moved to the front yard from the age of seven when she was surrounded by small servants. Mrs. Lin looked at the four girls around her, only Zhuyun's expression was different, and then she thought about it and told her that the girl was bigger, and her heart would be bigger, what this person said was afraid that it was Zhuyun, but this was not the time to have a seizure, but she said: "You too, although my mother is worried, I am not in a hurry for a while." β
"That's not the son's. Lin Ruhai said with a smile, and from his mother's expression, he also knew that he had a dike against the pearl cloud.
Zhu Yun saw that Mrs. did not pursue it, and she also put her mind at ease, and not long after, the two girls beside Mrs. Lin, Yunxi were set to Lin Fan, and the wedding date was set at the end of the year after the two families discussed. Lin Fan was beaten up by his father for this family matter, Lin An was not dissatisfied with Zhu Xi, but dissatisfied with Lin Fan who did not tell his family in advance about such a big matter as marriage, and directly begged his wife to be the master, Lin Fan knew that the family matter was decided, even if he was beaten, he was happy.
Zhuyun is also matched with someone, but she is not matched with a person in the house, but a big family, although it is not a main house, but an aunt, but that person is still an official, such a good family thing makes the girls in the house very envious, and Zhuyun is afraid that she will have endless blessings in the future. And the Zhuyun family is happy that their daughter will be a concubine in a big family, although this concubine is a little unsightly, it is better than marrying a small servant in the house. Mrs. Lin also generously erased all the deeds of the Zhuyun family, and the Zhuyun family also followed her daughter to enjoy the blessings. Zhuyun knew about this family affair, and hated the Lin family and Mrs. Lin in her heart, she didn't want to marry, but both his wife and his parents agreed to this family affair, and she couldn't just obediently get on the Tsing Yi sedan chair, and from then on she started the road to being a concubine. Mrs. Lin didn't expect that her kindness would bring a lot of trouble to the Lin family many years later.
Zhao Xi'er is very sad these days, and I don't know why the second master suddenly became cold to her, most of them stayed in the study alone, or they went to Xi'er's side, and the life at home was not easy, Wang Ji got Jia Zheng's words and let go of his hand and directly dismissed Zhao Xi'er's father's steward, but he still went to the Zhao family to stay in the village, and the people who were bullied by the Zhao family before saw that the steward of the Zhao family was dismissed by the wife, and they also knew that the wife must not like Zhao Xi'er, so they dealt with the Zhao family, and they were relieved to retaliate back.
Zhao Xi'er's brother is even more strict, not only did the original shopkeeper not do it, but he was also sent to the yamen because he was greedy for the money in the shop, and he was beaten on the board, but fortunately, the Zhao family made up for the money, and because Jia Zheng had the intention to let the Zhao family live, he did not go to prison, and Zhao Xier was also cautious from then on.
