12. Intimate words between husband and wife
Jia Hu's sister's nickname was not decided in the end, but Jia Yu had already thought of a big name, called "Jia Ying".
"Ying?"
"Hu'er's whole life is from the word 'jade', the word used by girls, I think 'Ying' is very good."
"But, the big girl is a girl after all......"
Jia Yu interrupted her, "What's this, Ying'er is my eldest daughter!" Besides, Sister Min is also the same as her brothers, from the word 'Wen'. Since there is a precedent, why can't Ying'er be like her aunt? ”
Parents are looking forward to their children's well, and Liu's is the same, she really wants her daughter to use the word "Ying".
Most of the women in ancient times had no names, and before they got married, they were "sisters" and "girls" of a certain family, at most they were ranked, and if they were favored by their parents, they would give her a nickname, and Sister Qiao was like this; After getting married, it is a certain family, and the maiden family's surname is preceded by the husband's surname. Maybe they have a nickname when they were young, the words taken by their elders, and the affectionate names of their husbands after they get married, all of which are only circulated in the boudoir and are not known to outsiders. When they were explained by later generations, they were not like men, they had a name and a surname, and they had a number of characters, and there was only one so-and-so.
Giving a girl such a name means that Jia Yu will write this name on the family tree, and it means that Jia Yu will value her like a man. The latter, of course, is subject to consideration.
Since Jia Yu said this, Liu would not object, she was worried about something else, "It's just ...... Wouldn't it be nice to have a big name now? Liu said very tactfully.
There is a folk saying that when a child is born, he is unstable, so don't name him, otherwise the ghost will call his name and take him away. If you don't have a name, the ghosts in the underworld won't know that there is such a person, and the child won't die.
There is also a saying that the child is too young, and the name is afraid of ruining his blessing. There are some interesting sayings about naming, for example, if the elders call the child's name, they will have feelings when they call it, and if the child dies, listening to the parents shouting his name day and night, he will be reluctant to give up, wander in the world, and cannot be reincarnated. Wait a minute.
Generally, children are named when they are one year old or older. At this time, the child's body is no longer so fragile, and the possibility of premature death is greatly reduced, so he was named. The names of Jia Hu and Jia Zhu were taken by Jia Daishan at their first birthday banquet.
Although Jia Ying was born in good health, she was not afraid of 10,000, but she was afraid of what happened, and Liu also had the same worries.
They are all people who have died once, and Jia Yu sees this aspect very lightly. He said, "What can happen if we take care of it?" Besides, she has to wait for her to finish catching Zhou before she can open the ancestral hall. ”
Liu was relieved when he heard this.
It has been a while since Liu's confinement was completed, and Jia's mother did not ask Mrs. Wang to return the housekeeping rights to her. Liu was a little anxious, and he couldn't speak first, otherwise he would be considered unfilial by others. Liu Shi told Jia Yu about this matter and asked, "Enhou, what do you think is good?" ”
Jia Yu narrowed his eyes, remembered the matter of Xiao Wang's release of Yinzi money, and asked, "During this time, did there anything wrong with the Wang family's housekeeper?" ”
Liu thought about it carefully and said, "Brother and sister housekeepers, no matter how big or small, they all come according to the precedents, and if there is anything that you can't decide, they all come to ask me, but there is no basket." ”
"Is there anything unusual about that? Like what...... The next person's monthly money is late. ”
Liu shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." He sneered again: "There are a lot of changes in personnel, but they are all small shrimps, but the one who married my younger brother and sister got a good position." ”
"Zhou Rui?" Jia Yu raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Liu is not surprised that Jia Yu is so clear about the companionship of his younger siblings in the next room, as early as when he was newly married, Jia Yu told her a story, and now, most of the story has been fulfilled, so she can't believe it.
"Zhou Rui was originally in charge of the garden, but now he has become the manager of the kitchen, and he has made a lot of oil and water."
It seems that Wang's hand is not so long, and his eyelids are so shallow. Jia Yu smiled sarcastically.
"Let her fish. Anyway, the big business of the Guogong Mansion is not bad," and sooner or later she will vomit it out for me, Jia Yu said, "It's the old lady, you keep an eye on it, don't let people turn around." -- The old lady's ability to buy people's hearts is first-class. ”
Liu looked a little surprised, "Enhou, you are the eldest son of your mother-in-law, is your mother-in-law really so ruthless?" ”
Jia Yu was silent for a while. When he confessed to Liu, the two had not yet made a heart-to-heart, and Jia Yu concealed part of his speculation.
"Caifu, there are some things, I didn't tell you the truth," Jia Yu said with some bitterness, "Hu'er's accident, my people found out that Wang's hand moved, Jia Shi's tail." But when I used the people my grandmother left me, I found that those people were ostensibly bought by the Wang family, but the Shi family held their handles......"
Jia Yu couldn't go on.
The old lady actually ordered someone to kill her grandson! Liu covered his tongue in horror. No wonder Enhou has always been very defensive of the old lady, she still thinks that Enhou is just heartbroken by his mother.
The two were silent.
After a while, Jia Yu spoke: "I have no evidence for that incident, who would believe that a loving, but somewhat eccentric grandmother, would kill her own grandson?" If I say it, I have a reputation for unfilial piety, but it's nothing. But Lian'er has just been born, what is he going to do? There is an unfilial father, and he is so young...... If he dies, there will be no one in the big house......" Jia Yu couldn't help but cry as he spoke.
was killed by his biological mother to his wife and eldest son, in the final analysis, Enhou is the saddest person. Liu comforted him silently, and his slender hand kept holding Jia Yu's big hand, hoping that her husband would cheer up quickly.
Jia Yu shed tears for a while, and then calmed down. In his previous life, his evasion was useless, and he will never make such a mistake again in this life. Crying in front of his wife, he looked at Liu with some embarrassment: "Caifu ......"
Knowing that Jia Yu was embarrassed, Liu deliberately pretended to be angry, "No wonder when I was pregnant with Ying'er, you thought I was pregnant with a son, did you think it was Jia Lian?" ”
The wife changed the topic understandingly, Jia Yu was not ignorant, he laughed for a while, and said, "Where, I thought about it for a while, and I always thought that if I came, Lian'er would also come." By the way, if you pay attention to the time when the government distributes the monthly money, I suspect that the Wang family may put the money in print. ”
"Inks and money?" Liu Shi said in surprise, "That's a matter of cutting off children and grandchildren!" How dare Wang? Didn't anyone in the Wang family teach her? "I heard that the daughters of the Wang family have scientific names, even if they follow the family motto of "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", she will not even teach the law, right?
"The Wang family is a concubine, what kind of life are the concubines of the Xungui family, you don't know yet? It's all bright on the surface. Jia Yu thought of his three sisters-in-law and said, "I later learned that she was a greedy person, who ate the Lin family and the Xue family." ”
Thinking of the story that Enhou told her, the orphan daughter of the Lin family who died of illness without family property, Liu had some sympathy in his heart.
didn't want to mention the past, Jia Yu said unswervingly: "The money is all put by outsiders, and I will keep an eye on it." You take good care of Hu'er and Ying'er, keep an eye on the maids around them, and prevent them from betraying their masters. ”
Liu nodded and mentioned Jia Min's matter: "The old lady is already looking at the marriage for Miss Min, and she asked me about the fifth prince a few days ago." "Liu's sister Concubine Shu has always been good with Concubine De, the fifth prince is from Concubine De, she is not very old this year, and it is time to marry Concubine Zheng.
"Does the old lady want Sister Min to be the concubine of the Fifth Prince?" Liu wanted to speak and stopped.
Jia Yu knew what she wanted to say, if the first emperor was still there, with the first emperor's trust in Jia Daishan, Jia Min would be more than enough to be the prince's concubine. However, the first emperor is gone, and now he has never had a good impression of the four kings and eight dukes. Although Jia Yu supported him, no one in Rongguo Mansion was in the officialdom, and the icing on the cake of the palace concubine and the holy favor was just good-looking.
He chuckled, "The four families of Jia, Wang, Shi, and Xue have always been in the same spirit, and the other three families are not as prominent as our family, and there are no daughters of appropriate age, even if my father resigns, a side concubine, Sister Min still deserves it." ”
"The old lady wants Sister Min to be a concubine?" In Liu's eyes, the prince's concubine is also a concubine. Their family had no choice back then, so they had to give up their sister to pray for the blessing of the emperor who was still the prince at the time, otherwise Concubine Shu would have married someone else a long time ago. To be a concubine is to make yourself and your own bloodline inferior, which is unbearable for a scholarly family, except for entering the palace, the emperor is different. Nowadays, there are many heirs, who can be sure that the five princes will definitely be able to ascend the throne?
Jia Yu knew who the final winner was, but he didn't say it. He didn't tell Liu everything. Liu didn't ask. Since she is married to Jia Yu, she is a member of the Jia family, and she believes that Jia Yu will not pit her mother's family. This is a tacit understanding between them.
Jia Yu smiled and said, "The old lady has this idea, but she will not succeed." ”
Both of them thought of Lin Ruhai and couldn't help but smile at each other.
At this time, what is Lin Ruhai doing?
Lin Ruhai was in Lin's mother's room, looking at her mother anxiously: "Mother......
Mother Lin was angry, her face was pale, "My son, don't worry, my mother can still hold on, and my mother will look at your gold list title, marry a wife and have children." ”
"Mother, stop talking. The doctor I asked for this time is a miracle doctor who was specially searched for from the Jiangnan area, and he will definitely be able to cure you. Come, drink the medicine. Lin Ruhai barely held up a smiling face, looking forward to it in his heart, and persuaded his mother to drink medicine.
Mother Lin has been sick for more than half a year, the doctor said that it was a heart disease, and seeing that Mother Lin's body was about to collapse, Mother Lin refused to confess anything to Lin Ruhai. This miracle doctor was sent by Rong Guogong, a friend of Lin's father before his death, and Lin Ruhai also had the idea of trying it.
After serving Mother Lin and drinking the medicine, Lin Ruhai said, "Mother, Doctor Wang said that he has something to convey to you for others, do you want to meet him?" ”
