Except for the fourth master, it won't be anyone else's. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are replacement shoes, which means that the fourth master often rests here.

Although disappointed, Grandma Fang Si did not slack off because of this, and the next person served tea as usual, and then said with a smile: "How many months has the second grandmother been pregnant?" ”

"It's been more than five months." He Jiaxian smiled: "Now I am afraid of the heat, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter." ”

"If it's hot, use ice." From the fourth grandmother smiled: "If you are afraid of heat, use it earlier." ”

Sure enough, heroic. He Jiaxian said secretly.

The Fang family's ice has always been only available to the Chen family, and it is still bought from outside.

"If you can't sleep in such a hot spot, you can only buy it." He Jiaxian smiled: "It's just that it's not yet hot, I don't know if it's sold." ”

"Oh, look at me." From the fourth grandmother smiled: "I forgot that there is no ice cellar in your house." Let's go back and let someone send a wolf. Let's go. She turned and instructed the maid standing behind her, as casually as if she were giving a jar of pickles.

He Jiaxian received such a lot of love all of a sudden, and he was busy refusing to accept it.

The fourth grandmother said: "Speaking of silver, there is not as much from the family as there is the Fang family." You have a big belly, and because of me, you are really tired. This Weng Bing, on the contrary, is a little bit of my heart, in the end it is frozen in my own ice cellar, it doesn't cost too much silver, but it is more convenient than buying. ”

He Jiaxian was secretly speechless.

As far as she knows, in this dynasty and this generation, the leylines that can be used to make ice and store ice are dug into large ice cellars, and the emperor will order ice to be harvested and frozen in winter, and in early summer in April and May, it will be rewarded to officials from all sides. All the officials needed to do was dig a cool ice cellar and wrap the ice tightly in straw for temporary storage.

Such a precious thing can't be bought with silver, but the fourth grandmother gave it to her casually.

Come to think of it, the ice used by the Chen family in summer is still the frost made by the traders by dissolving saltpeter in water and volatilizing heat. In fact, it can't be called ice, it can only be regarded as frost, and it is expensive.

Hurriedly stood up and curtsy respectfully, and then sat down.

The fourth grandmother was a little satisfied, and looked at He Jiaxian: "After accepting my gift, you have to do a little bit of your best." After speaking, he beckoned the maid to bring a pair of words: "Can you help me take a look, what should I do with this next sentence?" ”

He Jiaxian looked at it, it was two poems, spring returned to the stormy day, and the flowers felt the passing years.

Look weird and sad.

He Jiaxian finished reading: "The fourth grandmother is bright and generous, she shouldn't have written such sad verses." ”

After thinking about it, I took a turn over all the poems I learned in the three years of high school, and then I said, "I transgressed." ”

Get up, support your waist with one hand, and make up with a pen in the other: "Three thousand trees are red, and the mud is fresh everywhere." ”

In this section, the emotional tone of the poem has all changed.

From the eyes of the fourth grandmother, some brilliance appeared, and she was very surprised to look at the woman she felt ordinary when she first met: Sure enough, the rumors outside are well-founded.

This is not like the politeness of alienation at the beginning, but serious enthusiasm: "Second grandmother sit down, beware of tiredness." ”

Fang Yuzhu saw all these changes in her eyes, and whispered to He Jiaxian with a smile: "She was impressed by you." ”

He Jiaxian just smiled and didn't speak. She just quoted the wisdom of her predecessors, cobbled together and embezzled, and it was not worth praise.

After thinking about it, he said to the fourth grandmother: "Grandma has a good life, fine clothes and food, and is favored by her husband, and the elders love her, I don't know why she is sad and sad, so it is not good for her body to recuperate." ”

"Huh." From the fourth grandmother smiled helplessly: "It's time to be content." But I'm a woman. She waved her hand and told the maids to stand down, leaving only one henchman.

Only then did he look at He Jiaxian's bulging belly obsessively: "If you are a woman, you should have the right to be a mother." ”

It turned out that the daughter-in-law who was waiting in front of the door, when she saw her, said "bring joy" to this is what she meant.

"From the fourth grandmother, is there a hidden disease in childbirth?" Seeing that she was so hidden, and no one else was present, He Jiaxian said bluntly: "Is there a place where Jiaxian needs help?" ”

"There's something I want to ask you." The fourth grandmother said seriously: "I heard a strange thing. ”

"Your eldest sister, who hasn't been pregnant for a few years, suddenly has it. Do you know why? Did you take any medications? Or a good doctor? Or did you invite a master to count the hours of the same room? The fourth grandmother stared at her and asked, her face full of anticipation.

It was for this.

It's just that how can she pay attention to the affairs of ordinary people.

Oh, no. He Jiaxian had an epiphany, this is the main purpose of calling her from the fourth grandmother today.

She looks at her age and is not young, but she still has to "introduce joy", which shows that she has no heirs under her knees.

Infertile women will naturally be more concerned about whose daughter-in-law is not easy to give birth to, and how to give birth to anecdotes later. Even if it is a pawn of a peddler, he will inquire.

At this time, she, like those women, put aside her status and was just a woman.

It's just that in the end, this society is hierarchical, and on the basis of not being able to trust people, it is not easy for her to catch He Jiashu to come to the house to ask, so she can only knock on the side and invite He Jiaxian, who is qualified to come to the house.

If you do it, you can help. This grandmother from the fourth has a good character.

"According to the eldest sister, she didn't take any medicine or see a doctor, probably because fate arrived." He Jiaxian smiled: "She is the same as her grandmother, she is eager to get pregnant, so except for the days when the medical book says that she is easy to conceive, she is not ......."

Although she didn't finish speaking, the fourth grandmother immediately understood and nodded incessantly.

"The month I was pregnant, it is said that the days in the middle of the Kwai water, I don't remember the specific day, my brother-in-law drank too much...... I didn't ...... it according to time" He Jiaxian said vaguely, but it was enough to understand from the fourth grandmother.

"I see." From the fourth grandmother, she didn't believe it: "What else?" ”

Nope.

Gone? From the fourth grandmother was shocked: "That's it." ”

"That's all I know." He Jiaxian smiled: "Grandma still has to relax." ”

The fourth grandmother saw that she didn't look like a liar, but she didn't believe it: "Maybe it's the fate of mother and son, and it shouldn't be forced." ”

The maid who followed lit up, and approached the fourth grandmother in a low voice: "...... Didn't the six aunts serve those days? Grandma, you arrange yourself before and after Kwai Shui...... I arranged a few of her for a few days...... I gave birth to three daughters and a son......"

The fourth grandmother was shocked when she heard it, and she silently thought about it in her heart, and stopped talking.

There is a fixed number of servants in all the families. carried the aunt into the door, who should serve on which day, it is all prescribed, unlike the Fang family, which depends on the man's will.

Since the fourth grandmother injured her foot and was inconvenient to walk, she had some inferiority, in order to win the heart of the fourth master, she changed her way to give him a way to accept people in the house, and she was quite famous outside.

Thirty days a month, she serves for ten days, each of the six aunts has one day, and the rest of the time is for the fourth master to rest.

The ancients said that the food and color are also, but you should not indulge in indulgence, and the gentlemen of this scholarly family should be clean and self-conscious, and open and close in moderation.

She read the medical book that it was the easiest to conceive in Kwai Shui, so she arranged it this way.

Could it be that there is a mistake in the medical book? She still didn't believe it.

He Jiaxian saw that she was going to be suspicious, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he stopped talking.

Seeing that the purpose of the fourth grandmother had been achieved, the confidant maid sent them out after a few words of greeting.

asked again if he wanted to lead the way back to the flower hall, and after He Jiaxian refused, he said: "Then the second grandmother Fang should go slowly, if there is anything you don't know, just catch a little girl and ask." ”

Fang Yuzhu was overjoyed, she loved to hunt for curiosity.

The two of them walked slowly along the corridor, looking at a small stone lion from the house, a rockery and flowing water there, and a small bridge to see a green bamboo...... It's comparable to the Suzhou gardens she has seen before.

Exquisite and elegant, majestic and simple.

When he walked to the end of the corridor, he saw a moon gate, Fang Yuzhu was about to step over, and heard a woman's voice: "Mom, what is the matter with this, even send an ice cube and ask me to go in person, that daughter-in-law of the Fang family is also worth my trip?" She deserves this ice too? ”

Fang Yuzhu beckoned to He Jiaxian, signaling her to walk lightly, and the two of them came over to listen together.

"Since it's the fourth grandmother's order, you just do it." The old lady instructed: "Don't be impatient, don't be angry, how many times have I taught you, do you even have the stamina for this idea, and you still want to go into the eldest lady's room as an errand?" Don't say that I, as a mother-in-law, don't carry you, you can experience it first. ”

"Daughter-in-law...... The daughter-in-law is either angry or unconvinced. ”

"What kind of thing is that lady squire, a concubine of a merchant family, married to the son of a maid, and dares to cling to our family?" The daughter-in-law was indignant: "It's a shame that she has a face, and she also brought in those women of the Fang family who can't get on the stage and are covered with copper stench. Such a person, who usually comes in, enters the corner door, welcomes guests in the hood room, and finishes it after a few words. ”

"That's what you can say?" Although the grandmother did not scold, her voice was extremely stern: "Since the eldest lady has approved the name of the third lady and invited the lady of the waiter, that is to be the honored guest of our family, why do you make irresponsible remarks here?" Be careful to be heard tearing your mouth apart! ”

"Although the squire is not a big official, but the people have their backs to the Hou Mansion, although it is declining, but where is the bottom line, how to say that it is also a marquis to worship the prime minister, and I can't guarantee that one day it will make a comeback." Mama sighed: "Besides, our eldest lady and Mrs. Hou are world friends, so we have to sell this face." ”

"Mom, if you say that, I'll understand. Forget about the lady, just wait for the time being. But what's going on with the second grandmother of the Fang family with a big belly? You also specially instructed her to give her red date bird's nest...... I don't think I'm very skilled. "The daughter-in-law wants to come today and suffers a lot of grievances, and after talking about the east family, the west family.

"That grandma, it's me who feels sorry for her." The grandmother sighed: "When Changzi was a child, he was enlightened by Mr. He, if he didn't know a few words, he could be the steward of Zhuangzi now?" "Changzi is her son, the husband of this daughter-in-law.

"Second Grandma Fang is the second lady of the He family, if Mr. He continues to end up, maybe he will plant a Jinshi, Tanhualang or something." The grandmother was old, and she had heard of all these things.

"I don't know what to think, marry a good and talented girl to a businessman. Even the richest man in Yanzhou City is a pity. "That grandmother is a little worthless: "It is said that Miss He Er was going to marry Zhuangyuanlang before, hey, I thought about it for a while." Besides, Old Lady He was also an official of the Hanlin Academy before, so she couldn't think of resigning...... died early, if he is still there, Mr. He will be a parent official in high school, and his family background will not be inferior. The daughter of her family is married to the concubine of the family, and she is also the right person. ”

The daughter-in-law smiled and asked, "It's a pity that Second Miss He didn't have this life." ”

"Besides, although the Fang family is a lowly businessman, they are rich in the end, and the He family is not a big family, so why can't they marry. In my opinion, one is rich and the other is a scholar, just in the same place, give birth to a son by himself, and use the money of the Fang family to cultivate a champion, wouldn't it be better! Then Miss He is not a pity, she is extremely smart. Speaking of which, Miss Fang Si can be generous, and her reward is two taels of gold, which is more generous than our seventh lady. ”

"Flim Flam." As soon as she said this, the old lady smiled: "No matter how rich a businessman is, he doesn't have the ability to call for wind and rain." You didn't look at it, the last time I donated some rice and grain for disaster relief, it hurt my vitality a lot. Such a wealthy family is just a virtual shelf, and when there is a little turmoil, it can't stand the toss. Where can we compare to our hairpin family, a century-old family, intertwined, with a solid foundation, and the general wind and rain cannot be shaken at all! ”

"Such a family is the result of the efforts of several generations, from the great-grandfather to the current young master, accumulated from generation to generation. If you want to achieve such a family, one champion of the Fang family is not enough, at least five...... You have to be the champion......"

Mama felt proud when she thought about it, and she smiled silently: "The doorway inside, where can you young people see clearly, only see the little bit of silver in front of you." ”

"Mom...... If it weren't for the money, why would I have followed you to my home to serve? The daughter-in-law smiled and said in a brisk tone: "Our family has been a slave from the family for generations. ”

"It's a blessing for you to be able to serve at home." The grandmother suddenly became fierce: "Speaking of the Fang family, I will tell you about the Fang family." ”

"You see that the Fang family is so rich, and there are also slaves in the family, but who do you see who is the in-laws and daughters-in-law who are all on errands in the house? That's the benefit of the Maison. It can keep people and hearts. Her minions can only get silver, but we can get decent. ”

"From the family, Changzi can follow the young master to the school for enlightenment, what about the Fang family, some young masters don't like to read, and they don't have a serious enlightenment, this is not only a matter of silver, but also his business heirloom, and the training of our Shuli heirloom is poor. can be counted as Master Fang's generation is a little conscious, and he began to force future generations to read, but it's a pity that the grass didn't grow on the grave of the ancestors. ”

"Yes. Mom, when you go out to do errands, the county magistrate of Shixian County will not dare to slack off. That's identity. The Fang family's silver was held so high that he could barely speak. ”
