5. The fifth round

Jia Min thought about it for a while, and couldn't understand it, if the old lady had the insight, he would not be like this, and asked: "Grandmother, the matter of the heavenly family has nothing to do with us. It's just that Min'er doesn't understand anything, and I hope that my grandmother will solve it. ”

Seeing Jia Min's expression, the old lady knew what she was asking, but what she didn't expect was a seven-year-old villain, so she thought so much, and she couldn't help but think of her son's usual sigh, 'If Min'er is a man, why worry about the family business.' Now the old lady also agrees: "Min'er, do you want to ask why you let Yu'er be idle all day long and not do her job." ”

Jia Min looked surprised, he didn't expect to see through people's hearts, and then nodded.

Seeing her surprised little face, the old lady took her little hand and smiled: "I can't guess your little caution?" When Yu'er was born, I also thought about cultivating me, but as he grew up, your father became more and more valued by the saints, and even the title on his body was not reduced by half a point. I don't have that idea, I just let Yu'er be a mediocre person, and your father won't like it. In this way, there is only good and not bad, this is to let the saint rest assured of the Jia family, no matter how great your father's merits are, there is no successor. Second, it is to prevent the battle for the throne in the future, if your father goes in the future, Yu'er will inherit the title Najia Mansion will not be as hot as it is now, and it will not become someone else's pawn, and it can be safe. ”

The old lady said a lot, her mouth was a little dry, she took a sip of tea and continued: "Besides, although Yu'er is not motivated, she has a pure heart, and she is only interested in antique calligraphy and painting, and she will never do anything that violates the law of the country." And those girls are just playthings, let alone nothing. There are not a few girls in the house of the son of the mortal family, but the rules in the family are strict and there is no rumor. When the time comes, let all the girls in the house out, and then find him a daughter of a family with a comparable door to help him take care of the backyard, and then he will slowly get better. ”

After hearing this, Jia Min understood that the old lady was so good for her eldest brother, but although the old lady thought long-term, it was just that the world was impermanent, and people's hearts were changing, the eldest brother was more and more absurd under his mother's suppression, and the sister-in-law died early, but Jia's mother became a real supporter, and the second room became a family.

Knowing what happened to her, she reminded: "What my grandmother said is very reasonable, but I think that after a hundred years of my father, if my mother is here, my eldest brother may not be able to be in charge of the house." ”

The old lady didn't think that Jia Min would say this, she was the daughter of a family, and she was deeply taught by the Three Platforms and Five Constants and the Three Subordinates and Four Virtues since she was a child, and never thought about what Jia's mother would do, and blurted out: "Since ancient times, 'the old and the young are orderly, and there is a difference between respect and inferiority', and 'husband and old servants' Even if your mother is here, what can you do, is it possible to mess up the etiquette?" ”

Jia Min said softly: "Grandmother forgot that there is also filial piety, there is a cloud in the Book of Filial Piety: 'Filial piety is the first, the scriptures of heaven are also, the righteousness of the earth is also, the deeds of people are also, and the foundation of virtue is also.'" 'Founding the country and building the dynasty thought that the saints ruled the country with filial piety. If the mother presses the eldest brother with filial piety, he can't refute it. However, there is an unwritten rule in the meritorious family that the older generation has the custom of living with the younger son, and if the mother uses this as an excuse to let the second brother live in the Rongxi Hall, the eldest brother can't say anything. ”

Before the old lady could figure it out, Mama Gu on the side had already figured it out, and the subordinates in Jia's Mansion understood better than the master, and many things were just hidden from above. He said to the old lady: "Old lady, what the girl said is very reasonable, if the wife really acts like this, the uncle will definitely not be able to do it." There is also an uncle who wants to get close to his wife, if his wife softens her attitude a little and coaxes the uncle, I am afraid that her wish will be fulfilled. ”

The old lady slapped the table and said angrily: "If she really acts like this, can the clan elder spare her, and the royal law is there?" ”

Jia Min gave Mama Gu a look and asked her to explain it to the old lady. Mama Gu said: "Old lady, you are a reasonable idea, but Mrs. may not want to do it, think about it, Mrs. usually does not face the uncle, what really hurts is the second master, and everyone outside knows that the uncle is an idle and fond of women, and he loves to read." If it weren't for his wife's acquiescence, everyone would know how these things would have been preached. There is also the fact that the Jia clan really has people in the Ningrong Mansion, and the old man in the Ning Guo Mansion is already older than the old man, and he is really afraid that he will not be there at that time. Although the second master Jing is the patriarch, the wife is always an elder and the uncle himself is also willing, what can he say? If the uncle doesn't go to Dali Temple to complain, the court will only turn a blind eye. ”

The old lady carefully looked at Jia Min and Mama Gu's boys, and then said slowly: "It's that I think it's too simple, I forgot that my good daughter-in-law is a good and strong person, if I and Shan'er are gone, I'm afraid this family will fall into her hands, and what is the matter with my pardon." After saying that, the tears on his face flowed loudly.

Seeing this, Jia Min raised her hand to help the old lady wipe her tears with Jinpa, and comforted: "Grandmother, don't worry. This is also a blind guess by Min'er and Mama Gu, if it is really the one that comes out of the father, the things in the house will also be arranged. I will never let the eldest brother and the second brother get into trouble. ”

Mama Gu also said, "Yes, old lady." What I just said is just the worst side, but who knows what the future holds, it's just a blind worry. If you cry for this, it will be too much to lose. ”

The old lady also stabilized her feelings at this time and said: "You think well, in the past, I always thought about the impact of external matters on Jiafu and Yu'er, but I never thought about the affairs inside Jiafu. I forgot that trees die from their roots, and people die from their hearts. From the court to the small family, it also starts from the inside. It's really an old lady who has been enjoying it for many years, but she has lost her former cautiousness. No, I have to think about it. ”

Seeing that the old lady had regained her former wisdom, Jia Min was relieved and said: "Grandmother should have enjoyed the joy of family, but now she still has to manage the family, Min Xin is really uneasy. It's just that this thing still lies with the big brother, if he can stand up to the door and withstand the strength of his mother, what we think about will not happen. ”

The old lady also understood that what Jia Min said was the root, but Yu'er was already in the year of dancing spoons, and if he was allowed to practice literature and martial arts, it would have no effect. looked at Jia Min and asked, "I wonder what Min'er thinks?" ”

Jia Min smiled: "Min'er doesn't know what to do, but there is a cloud in the book: 'If the son does not teach, the father is guilty'." The affairs of the elder brother should be left to the father. It's just that my father has been fighting outside all the year round, and I'm afraid that he has the heart but is powerless. It's better to look at the old lady's last words, but she didn't say it in the end.

The old lady looked at her and said with a smile: "If there is anything else you can't talk about with your grandmother, if you are wrong, I will not punish you." ”

"I'm not afraid that you will punish me, but I'm afraid that you will be reluctant, I want to send my eldest brother to my father. First, when you go out, the big brother can have a long experience, and secondly, the father will also teach him well, and the third is that the relationship between the big brother and the father will be closer. ”

"If you want to send him to his father, this, this, this is not okay, there is a war there, there is chaos, if something happens, what will happen." The old lady shook her head again and again.

Jia Min also expected the old lady's reaction, and patiently persuaded: "Grandmother, what are you afraid of your father, isn't this for the sake of the eldest brother." Who can teach him in the capital, can he still be allowed to mess around like this? ”

"Old lady, take a step back, it is best to send the uncle to the master, after all, the uncle is different from the girl, and in the future, the family will have to deal with each family, this old lady and the wife can't teach, and the affairs between men can only be handed over by the master." Mama Gu also persuaded her.

"I'm going to think about it." The old lady said.

Jia Min saw that although the old lady did not allow it, it could be loosened, so he knew that it was only a matter of time before he could send his eldest brother to his father. So he hid some words and said no more about it.

In just half a decade, the eldest brother was sent away, and Mother Jia wanted to stop it, but the old lady suppressed it. After this incident, Jia's mother resented the old lady even more. This matter is said to be a letter from Jia Daishan, and Jia Yu is going to hone it. Jia's mother didn't have any intentions, but she couldn't figure it out, if it wasn't for Jia Daishan's idea, she was afraid that with the old lady's love for Jia Yu, she wouldn't have been sent to the battlefield.

When Jia Zheng heard about this, he didn't say anything, but when he saw Jia Yu, he comforted him and said that his father's order was not violated. As for what he thought in his heart, no one knows. And Jia Yu came to Qinglian Courtyard the night before leaving home and talked with Jia Min for a long time, and finally asked her to accompany the old lady more.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, Jia Yu has been away from home for three months, today just received his letter of peace and local products, the letter talked about the customs and customs of various places, and the words are full of joy. It was only in the letter to Jia Min that his father was shocked to see him, and that he had a conversation with him. Looking at the letter, Jia Min smiled, thinking that the eldest brother in this life would definitely be better than in his previous life, and the fate of the Jia family would also change.

The days went by like this, but Jia Min's life became busy. In the morning, I followed the old lady to learn to take care of housework, and in the afternoon, I learned piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and female red with the female gentlemen and embroidery girls. Although Jia Min knows all this, she still pretends to be a beginner because of her young age.

Jia's mother wanted to teach Jia Min in person, but was rejected by the old lady on the grounds that she was busy with housekeeping. And she doesn't approve of Jia Min's learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in her opinion, girls can just know a few words and don't be blind. It's not that men need to learn more skills for the sake of their future. It's just that the old lady and Jia Min ignored her.

On this day, when Jia Min took a lunch break, he felt that he had drifted to a place in a trance not long after falling asleep, and he saw that the red column was made of jade, and the green trees and clear streams were really untouched, and the birds were rare. There is a stone plaque built horizontally in front of it, with four big characters on it: a couplet on both sides of "Too Illusory":

When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction.
