With the approach of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Ruhai is getting more and more busy. In addition to going to the backyard to see Jia Min every day, it is also a luxury to have a meal with him. Not to mention Aunt Bai and Aunt Liu who live in the side garden.

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was so busy, Daiyu had no choice but to think of a way to condition Lin Ruhai's body, remembering in her heart: "It is a medicine that is poisonous, and medicine is not as good as food" These two well-known sayings that I often heard in my previous life. When I sent almond goat milk to Jia Min every day, I also sent a bowl to Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai actually didn't like it either, but Daiyu firmly said that it was not good to drink tea at night, and sent it every day. Even if you don't come, you won't forget to send the little maid to send it. Lin Ruhai is used to drinking and drinking, and it is not as unacceptable as Jia Min, and Daiyu needs to stare at it every day and dare not relax.

The investigation of the man in black has been going on, and all the inns and wine shops, the major city gate stations, and even Lin Ruhai and Huang Jiyun in the Salt Gang Cao Gang have quietly investigated. But the man disappeared as if out of thin air, and was not heard from.

Of course, that's also because the man in black has always been masked, and no one has ever seen his true face. Lin Ruhai and Huang Jiyun both had to guess like this, otherwise it would be really difficult to accept.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia's mother sent someone to send a Mid-Autumn Festival return gift, and Jia Lian's letter was sandwiched in it. Although communication has been inconvenient in the past six months, Jia Lian has also sent two or three letters. Lin Ruhai was not surprised to see Jia Lian's separate letter.

After dealing with official business, Lin Ruhai sat in the study as usual, drinking the almond goat milk sent by his daughter while opening the letter sent by Jia Lian.

The account books of the household department were completely recreated a month ago. During this period, a large number of unknown deficits were discovered, and almost every household of the major royal palaces and noble ministers was in arrears, and it only increased. And the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that have been being done recently are even more shocking, even more terrifying than those of the Ministry of Households. Even if there is a deficit in the household department, at least there are accounts to check, and the accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are simply unsightly. There are not a few false reports of missing items and loss for no reason, and they are not the most serious, and what is more serious is that there are some of them without accounts at all, and the overall lack is estimated to reach sixty percent.

Rao is Lin Ruhai also broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this data. He couldn't imagine what the Holy One would have thought when he found out.

Continuing on, the major imperial villages have made false reports and false reports that cannot be enumerated. The Huangzhuang of thousands of fertile fields is not as good as the harvest of ordinary large households. The Holy Lord was furious about this and ordered the Seven Princes to investigate thoroughly.

At present, the major officials in the capital are panicking, that is, several adult princes, except for the four princes, who are still silent and take care of the household department, the rest are all active......

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai also sighed, and then Jia Lian didn't say anything about the court, after all, he was still young, and he only knew more about sorting out the account books recently.

But one of the pieces of news made Lin Ruhai's eyes narrow, and the cold light glistened in the only gap left. It turned out that Jia Lian said that after the Dragon Boat Festival, many salt merchants sent their adopted daughters to Beijing, and when they entered the city, they made a huge noise. No one would have thought that they would all be sent to the East Palace...... Somehow, this news made Lin Ruhai think of the man in black who had been unable to track down the Dao, and he couldn't help but get up and go to Huang Jiyun's courtyard.

No one knows what Lin Ruhai said to Huang Jiyun, Lin Ruhai is still busy after the Mid-Autumn Festival, even busier than before. But Jia Min has been in a good mood in the past two days, not only because Kapok came to visit her when she returned to Ningning, but also because Jia's mother cared about her body everywhere in her letters, and Daiyu also walked around her whenever she was free.

After this period of time, Huang Jiyun's prescription, Daiyu supervised the careful recuperation, even if Lin Ruhai was busy and rarely went back to the backyard, but he couldn't stand Jia Min's good mood. So the face became better and better, and the flesh on the face was also replenished.

Jia Min is in a good mood and in good spirits here. But the aunts who live in the side yard may not. Especially Aunt Liu, she is about the same age as Jia Min, and she is also a rare beauty embryo. It was given to Lin Ruhai by the old lady before she died, and her heart was naturally higher, but unfortunately Jia Min had been pregnant before. Although it was not like Aunt Bai who had taken the heir medicine at the beginning, she had to eat a lot of shunzi soup.

Although she didn't explain it, Aunt Liu privately looked for a doctor and said that it was extremely difficult to get pregnant, so she was very resentful of Jia Min. At the beginning, Daiyu's body was weak, she was very proud, and she always thought that since Jia Min had given birth to her eldest daughter, she could stop avoiding the child's soup, but unfortunately, the Lin family had no precedent for the eldest son. Jia Min would not be willing to let his concubine be born before his sister-in-law. Knowing Brother Yan'er's background, her shunning soup can be regarded as stopping.

She was still happy for a while, thinking that her chance had come. After all, when the old lady gave her to Lin Ruhai, in addition to her appearance and temperament, more importantly, she felt that she was easy to give birth to, even she herself felt so.

Who knew that Brother Yan was almost two years old, and she couldn't get pregnant, although Lin Ruhai didn't have much time in her room, but there were always two or three days a month, and she also calculated the days, but there was no news at this time, and she suspected that Jia Min had drugged her, so she quietly asked the doctor to check.

It turned out to be a cold wound in the child's soup. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Aunt Liu, who wants her mother to be expensive with her son. So he hated Lin Zhong's family and Jia Min who gave her medicine.

Brother Yan'er died, she was really happy, and she recited the scriptures in the Buddhist hall for 100 days to make a vow. Especially when Aunt Zhuang was disposed of later, she almost danced on the festival, thinking that it was Jia Min and Aunt Zhuang dog-eat-dog. God has eyes and sent Aunt Zhuang to clean up Jia Min.

But now that Jia Min is pregnant again, how can Aunt Liu balance her heart? A few days ago, she looked like Jia Min was going to die, and she was only happy for two days, who knew that she had raised it again?

As for Aunt Liu's thoughts, Daiyu, who has never dealt with aunts, doesn't know. For Jia Min, as long as Lin Ruhai's mind is on his side, the aunts don't matter. So no one paid attention to Aunt Liu's thoughts, and of course no one would notice Aunt Bai who stayed in the house all day.

But Aunt Bai, who has lived in the same courtyard with Aunt Liu for nearly 20 years, won't she know? No! Aunt Bai knows, and knows it very well. She has never said anything, and she is not sympathetic to Aunt Liu. In fact, Aunt Bai hates Jia Min, but she hates Aunt Liu even more because she was pointed out to Lin Ruhai by the old lady's expectations!

is also an aunt, but Aunt Liu was given high hopes by the old lady, and she earned it desperately! And as soon as the old lady learned the news, she poured the heir medicine into Aunt Bai, but Aunt Liu was pinned on high hopes, but she was blessed and unlucky. So in this Aunt Bai's heart, the resentment towards Aunt Liu is even more Jia Min's.

Before Jia Min married Lin Ruhai, she was already in Lin Ruhai's room. When the old lady found out, she poured her the heir medicine. Aunt Bai can't forget the old lady's original expression, she was so disdainful and indifferent, and she was so ruthless.

Only she knew about it, even Lin Ruhai, she didn't tell it. So even if Jia Min drugged her later, she didn't hate Jia Min much. More resentment is in the old lady's place, but the old lady is dead! She can only hate this old lady who had high hopes and pointed out to Lin Ruhai on her deathbed: Aunt Liu!

Jia Min didn't know that Aunt Bai had been drugged. I don't know that not long after she got married, she was raised to the dirty relationship between Aunt Bai and the old lady. If you know, you should feel sorry for the medicines that Jia's mother found for her, and even more distressed about the trouble she has spent all these years for fear that things will be revealed.

Jia Min didn't care, but someone wanted her to care. Aunt Liu didn't like Aunt Zhuang, and even when she thought of Aunt Zhuang's face, she hated it so much. Especially thinking that Aunt Liu's self-holding was pointed out to Lin Ruhai by the old lady, Aunt Bai hated it even more. But this does not mean that Aunt Bai, who paid a piece of infatuation to Lin Ruhai, has no resentment towards Jia Min.

Whenever I see Lin Ruhai caring for Jia Min, in Aunt Bai's heart, it is like a pain like ten thousand ants devouring her heart! Although Lin Ruhai has no preference for his aunts equally, he is different for his wife Jia Min. When Aunt Bai learned that Jia Min's health was getting better day by day, she was just as resentful in her heart.

On this day, when Aunt Bai passed by the door of Aunt Liu's room, she vaguely heard Aunt Liu's cursing, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily pulled out a cold smile.

In the afternoon, Aunt Bai came to Aunt Liu's room, and saw Aunt Liu's ugly face, and the little maid Ruyi stood aside tremblingly, and she sneered in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she said with a smile: "Sister Liu, is this so?" But Ruyi did something wrong? I finally sent it out, and let my wife point out a good one, so why bother to be angry with myself? After speaking, he didn't wait for anyone to give up his seat, and found a place to sit down.

For Aunt Bai, Aunt Liu looked down on her heart. I was pointed out by the old lady, but this Aunt Bai was on the pillow seat. Although Aunt Liu has also corresponded with Aunt Bai over the years, she is not eager, and even shows disdain everywhere. Jia Min always arranged for them to live in the same courtyard.

Aunt Bai came uninvited, Aunt Liu's face was inevitably a little ugly, originally because of Jia Min's matter, Aunt Liu was already angry, how could she have good words now? Seeing that Aunt Bai didn't know how to be hospitable, Aunt Liu didn't want to say more to her, so she only glanced at her with slanted eyes, although she was very surprised to see that her face was full of joy, but she only asked coldly: "I don't know how Sister Bai came to my house today?" Look at my sister's smile, I'm afraid it's not a good thing, right? After speaking, he brought the teacup and didn't drink it, but only played with it in his hand.

Seeing Aunt Liu's expression, is there anything Aunt Bai doesn't understand? Although he hated in his heart, he still smiled and said, "Isn't it a happy event?" Mrs. is getting better and better, and seeing that we will add a mouth in our house in another three or two months, the master may not be happy. After speaking, he said to the personal maid next to him: "The sky in August and September is still a little hot, and I will go to my house to bring the bowl of fruit ice that my wife rewarded." My sister and I shared the food, and it was good. After hearing this, Xin'er quietly withdrew.

Aunt Liu's face became more and more ugly, and there was a smell that couldn't be hidden, and it was not easy to attack, so she said to Ruyi: "Are you dead?" Don't know how to serve tea when you see a visitor? Aunt Bai smiled when she heard this: "Sister, don't be busy, let's eat the fruit ice for a while, saying that the girl wanted to come out to relieve the heat for his wife." It must be a great thing to think about. Aunt Liu ignored it and said angrily: "Don't serve tea to Aunt Bai yet!" If Aunt Liu was angry, she hurriedly poured tea.

Aunt Bai glanced at the tea bowl, but she didn't move. Suddenly changed the topic and said: "I see that my wife is a month old, even if her body is better now, she is not very energetic." I thought that our sisters might as well share some of the burden for our wives. After speaking, he looked at Aunt Liu's face, smiled even more, and continued: "If you want to do anything else, we can't help anything, why don't our sisters make a few small clothes for the child who will be born, that is, there is no shortage of wives, and it is also our heart." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Liu despised Aunt Bai even more. Thinking that you are slapping her up, she may not be able to look down on you! But he said: "I don't have your good skills, so I'll be biased towards you in this matter." After speaking, he stopped looking at Aunt Bai and drank tea by himself.

After a while, Xin'er brought a small bowl of crushed ice, drizzled with some juice and fresh pulp, which looked pleasing to the eye. At the suggestion of Aunt Bai, Xin'er brought it and handed it to Aunt Liu, but Aunt Liu took care of it, only holding the tea bowl and looking at the floor.

Seeing this, Aunt Bai smiled and said, "Sister, try it, this is a good thing that my wife has appreciated." After speaking, he got up and took the small white porcelain bowl with fruit ice and handed it to Aunt Liu. He also said, "If it's not good, I won't bring it to you to eat, it's my wife's intention." ”

Aunt Liu was already unhappy in her heart, but this Aunt Bai didn't look at her face, and her heart was even more irritable. Coupled with Aunt Bai's mouthful and one wife, Aunt Liu couldn't help but wave her hand to block Aunt Bai. Who knew that at this moment, the small bowl was knocked over on Aunt Bai. Aunt Bai was stunned for a moment, and then shattered to the ground. Porcelain tiles, ice chips. Looking at the juice of Aunt Bai's body, the flesh is not embarrassed.

Aunt Bai immediately turned red and said, "Sister, what do you mean?" I kindly brought it to you to eat, and if you don't appreciate it, it's just that, it's my wife's intention. Even if my sister is dissatisfied with me in her heart, she shouldn't have trampled my wife's kindness so badly. ”

Aunt Liu's temperament can withstand Aunt Bai's agitation? If it weren't for the fact that Aunt Bai didn't plan to do it herself over the years, Aunt Liu wouldn't have died a few times. And this time, it is obvious that Aunt Bai does not intend to give up. And said: "Isn't it my sister who thinks that my wife has rewarded me, but she forgot about you?" It's just that I just went to greet my wife, and when I met it, my wife was afraid of the cold and rewarded me, why are you doing this? ”

Aunt Liu finally broke out: "Who doesn't want her?" What are you doing to pull me to pull me in? After speaking, he took a sip and said, "She is kind? Will her kindness make me a ghost now? You don't care, I care! The more Aunt Liu said, the more excited she became: "I was originally the old lady who passed on the ancestry to the master!" What did she give birth to? Either you are weak or die early, but you don't let others live! ”

As soon as Aunt Liu's words came out, Aunt Bai's eyes flashed with pride, but she lowered her head to wipe her clothes, but no one noticed.

No one noticed the look in Aunt Bai's eyes, but Aunt Liu's words just now fell into Ruizhu's ears word for word. It turned out that Aunt Gang Bai went to ask Jia Min for peace. It just so happened that the kitchen gave Jia Min a little fruit ice, and Jia Min rewarded Aunt Bai with a bowl. Aunt Bai came out and calculated, knowing that Jia Min would definitely give Aunt Liu a bowl impartially for a while, so she deliberately came to provoke Aunt Liu's words. Who knew that it really made Ruizhu listen to it.

Rui Zhu heard that outside the door, she was angry! didn't enter the house anymore, turned around and went back to Jia Min's room. Qiluo saw that Ruizhu's face was wrong, and the fruit ice that she had just sent to Aunt Liu was also brought back, and she wondered in her heart, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" It's good to let you send a bowl of fruit ice to the side yard, can't you do it? ”

As soon as Rui Zhu saw Qiluo, she angrily learned what she had just heard outside Aunt Liu's house to Qiluo. Qiluo is not as good as Kapok, and when she heard it, she raised her eyebrows and said hard: "It's against her!" "Turn around and go to Jia Min.

Frightened, Rui Zhu hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Good sister, let's dissipate your anger." This Mrs. Zi's body is heavy, but she doesn't dare to disturb Mrs. in the big and small affairs of the house, but you take these bad things to say? What if there's a bad guy? When Ruizhu said this, Qiluo calmed down, frowned and thought about it: "Then I'll tell the girl to go!" After speaking, he went to Daiyu's courtyard again.

Daiyu is very busy every day, both going to class and taking care of housework, and she has been busy preparing children's clothes in recent days. Rui Zhu hurriedly caught up with Qiluo and said, "Sister, I feel sorry for the girl!" Besides, this kind of thing is what the girl can manage? ”

These Qiluo were completely irritable, and stomped their feet and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, is it okay to forget it like this?" Do we have to help her hide it? She's got a face! The voice couldn't help but be a little loud, and it happened that Grandma Sun passed by, listened to half of the sentence, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you two?" Okay, who has no face again? Mrs. Careful knows how to punish you. ”

Qiluo knew that although this grandmother was now with Daiyu, she was Jia Min's grandmother, and she was very decent in the house, and her wife could talk to her before, so she learned what Fang Cai Ruizhu said to her again. Grandma Sun also frowned when she heard this, and her eyes were cold. Ban Xiang Fang said: "You should bear with this matter first, everyone can know it in their hearts, and Mrs. must not make a mistake now!" Otherwise, no one can afford it. ”

When Qiluo and Ruizhu saw Grandma Sun say this, they both nodded in response. In his heart, he thought that this matter must be known to the maids and ladies in the courtyard, so soon, except for Jia Min, the entire upper room knew about it.

Within two days, Daiyu also knew. Mama Yang told her: "I know that the girl is a distressed wife." But the girl should understand that this is the business of the lord and the wife! There is no place for the girl to talk, and the girl should not be involved in these things. No matter how capable a lady is, there is no reason to care about the father's and mother's room. Daiyu knew that Mama Yang was for her good, and although she was not angry in her heart, she didn't say anything anymore, and only let the two of them quietly stare at the west courtyard.

This kind of thing will not happen only once, and within two days, Aunt Liu said something similar under the stimulation of Aunt Bai, so even the east courtyard where Daiyu lived also knew it clearly.

Daiyu quickly thought of Brother Yan'er's death. At the beginning, although Jia Min identified Aunt Zhuang's hand, and Daiyu also asked Zhixuan to check on the two aunts of Bailiu, but she didn't find anything, but she always suspected that Aunt Zhuang was just a black pot. Now I have to suspect Aunt Liu, although there is no evidence.
