Chapter 50
As soon as he heard that it was the old lady who was supposed to stay in the Buddhist hall again, Jia Yu felt that his head began to hurt.
It's almost the New Year, he has been very busy in the yamen these days, and all kinds of things need him to deal with, in addition to him, he has to go to some banquets and invitations from his former subordinates and colleagues, and he has to face the temptation or co-optation of people from different camps, and he can't break off the connection with the three princes. One by one, so many things, he hasn't been able to sleep well for several days, and Shi Shi is now making trouble for him again, is he too idle or what? Can't she be an old lady in peace, and she has to make trouble for him?
But this timeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» how did it happen that it was Jia Min? Shi just doesn't like him, but he's still very good to Jia Min, why is it implicated in Jia Min? also scolded and cried Jia Minγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» what the hell is going on?
But no matter what was going on, he didn't want Zhang Xian to face Shi, and sighed: "Since it's about the old lady and grandmother, you don't have to go over, be careful of the fetal gas." I'll take care of that. Come, send Madame back to the room, Mama, you and I go to the daylily hall, and tell me what's going on by the way. β
Zhang Xian said: "This is not good, I heard that my sister was crying very sadly, and she didn't even want to eat." My grandmother was also angry, and I wanted to go and say hello to my grandmother, and also to see my sister and comfort her. "The girl's business, it's better for her to be a sister-in-law, my grandmother is old, and it is inevitable that some things can't be taken care of, Jia Yu is an elder brother, and some words are not easy to export.
Jia Yu disagreed: "I have my own decision about my sister's affairs, so you don't have to worry." It's cold outside, it's snowing again today, the road is not easy to walk, and when you come back, I'm afraid it's dark, and Hu'er Qiong'er has to be taken care of by you. If you want to say hello to your grandmother, you can take Hu'er Qiong'er with you tomorrow. β
Zhang Xian thought about it too, so she agreed. Jia Yu changed into civilian clothes, ordered someone to bring a cloak, and didn't want too many people to follow, only brought a few subordinates from the couple's cronies. Although Shi was close to him, he still decided to go to the Xuancao Hall first.
On the way to Daylily Hall, he finally figured out what was going on from his grandmother.
It turned out to be caused by the housekeeping power that Jia Min now has in his hands.
Shi proposed to let Wang enter the mansion last time to replace Zhang Xian's temporary housekeeper, but in the end he was refuted by Jia Yu, not only that, but Jia Yu can also be said to have ordered her to recite scriptures to Jia Daishan. Speaking of which, this is the first time Jia Yu has treated her so unceremoniously, if it is Mrs. Tai's order, Mrs. Tai's order Shi dare not disobey, but Jia Yu is the son who crawled out of her intestines, why should he order her? This made Shi extremely unwilling.
But what if you are unwilling? The people around her said that they were serving her, but in fact, they only listened to the orders of Jia Yu and Mrs. Tai, although their attitude towards her was respectful, respectful, gentle and gentle, once her behavior violated the orders of Mrs. Tai and Jia Yu, those people would immediately jump out, pointing out that this was not right, that was not right, and that was not right, and that behavior was not allowed to be "bad", in this case, it was difficult for her to meet Wang and Jia Zheng.
So, Shi Shi set her sights on Jia Min, the daughter who respected her most in her opinion, and now happened to be asked by Jia Yu to act as a housekeeper. Counting, Jia Zheng can't come to this courtyard once in ten days and a half months, and the Wang family can only be blocked when he comes, Jia Yu doesn't want to see her, and even Jia Hu Jia Qiong Zhang Xian will not come often, although Jia Min was raised in front of Mrs. Tai, but she still respects her very much, and it is the one who comes to the West Compound most frequently among her three children.
Regarding the calculation of Jia Min and the stewardship in her hands, Shi Shi didn't feel anything wrong at all-how old is Jia Min? A teenage girl, no matter how smart she is, she lacks experience in the end, even if she is a housekeeper to practice her hands for a while, it is impossible to support the entire General's Mansion by herself, and it makes people laugh at it, making people say that this child is competitive and unwilling to be clumsy, and has a bad reputation for Jia Min. Moreover, she doesn't know about the housekeeper's fatigue? Jia Min's youngest daughter should be pampered in the boudoir, learning to be a girl every day, playing the piano, and playing chess, where she has to work so hard, she does this for the good of her daughter.
Since she had this idea, Shi Shi became more and more kind to Jia Min, and when the New Year's Festival was approaching, she said to Jia Min: "The New Year is coming, and there are the most things in the New Year's Festival, where can you be busy as a child with so many things such as shopping, people, decorations, clothes and human contacts, let alone major events such as sacrifices." Your eldest sister-in-law is not easy to work when she is pregnant, and you have no experience in many things, so it is better to let your second sister-in-law share the burden for you, she is a good one, if you don't understand anything, just follow her to learn. Wait until the Chinese New Year, let your second sister-in-law take you to various homes as guests, so that you can meet and make some daughters of other people's families, and have a few more companions to talk and play with in the future. β
Jia Min thought of the second sister-in-law who made her feel very bad, and then thought about the eldest brother's attitude towards the second brother's family on weekdays, and felt that it was inappropriate, but Shi Shi was her mother, so she could only shirk and say: "Min'er is just asked by the eldest brother to temporarily take care of the housekeeper for the eldest sister-in-law, and she also knows that her ability is not enough to take care of the entire general's mansion." Min'er knows that her mother is thinking about Min'er, but she asks her mother to forgive Min'er for not being able to make decisions, and it depends on the eldest brother's decision in the end. If the eldest brother makes a decision to let the second sister-in-law act as the housekeeper, it will be to replace Min'er, and Min'er will never complain. β
Shi Shi was quite displeased: "As long as you nod your head in this matter, you can send someone to talk to your eldest brother, what can't be done." "Zhang Xian is pregnant, according to her unfilial son's attitude towards that woman, she is absolutely reluctant to let her work hard, as long as Jia Min agrees, who else can Jia Yu find out who will take care of the house? In the end, it is not necessary to obediently obey her arrangement and let the Wang family come, or γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» let her come.
Jia Min was still unwilling, no matter what Shi Shi said, she just said that she couldn't be the master, and it was up to Jia Yu to decide. Shi Shi had never leaked his words before, and even Jia Yu ordered her to endure the Buddha, isn't it just for this, how could Jia Min ask Jia Yu. Jia Min pushed too much, so she decided that Jia Min refused to let go of the housekeeping power, so she shirked it, and in a fit of anger, she said something that hurt Jia Min's heart.
The gist of that sentence was: "You are so young, why are you so greedy for power!" β
At last the girl ran out of the old lady's yard crying, and when she returned, she kept crying, and she did not dare to let the lady know, so she hid herself in the room and wept. When Mrs. Tai found out, she was angry. Mama finally ended with this sentence, and then just walked quietly behind Jia Yu.
There are also Mrs. Tai's people among the people around Shi, who really don't know what Shi said to his granddaughter. As soon as Jia Min left on the front foot, someone went to report to Mrs. Tai on the back foot, but Mrs. Tai was reciting scriptures in her Buddhist hall at the time, and no one was allowed to disturb her. By the time Mrs. Tai knew, Jia Min had been hiding in her room and crying for a long time, she was raised by Mrs. Tai herself, it can be said that Mrs. Tai's closest person is Jia Min except Jia Yu, even Zhang Xian, Jia Hu, Jia Qiong may be ranked behind Jia Min, and now that the baby granddaughter is treated like this by Shi, it is no wonder that Mrs. Tai is not angry.
After Jia Yu heard the ins and outs of the whole thing, the only feeling was that he really shouldn't let his sister get too close to Shi! In other words, he shouldn't have worried that Jia Min would be sad and not tell Jia Min about some of the things Shi had done, if he had said something earlier, Jia Min would have been sad and would at least have a guard against Shi.
As for Shi Shiγ»γ»γ»γ»γ» what should he say? Does the temptation of power make people dizzy? In order to restore his previous status, even his only daughter γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Don't let him think about it, the daylily hall is right in front of him.
As soon as he stepped into the daylily hall, Jia Yu obviously felt a different atmosphere from usual. On weekdays, because of Jia Min's presence, Mrs. Tai will eat fasting and chant Buddha, and the whole courtyard is also vibrant, but now the Xuancao Hall is in a dull state, and the people all lower their eyebrows and pleasing their eyes, and they dare not speak a little louder.
Even the big maids and maids around Mrs. Tai are all cautious, and they all want to stand on tiptoe when they walk, or turn into cats and walk without sound. Seeing Jia Yu coming, the subordinates were obviously relieved, and the maids scrambled to open the curtain and announced: "The master is here." β
Mrs. Tai was sitting on the kang, and when she saw him come in, she just sighed slightly: "Yu'er, you are here." β
Jia Yu didn't see Jia Min, and after greeting Mrs. Tai, he asked, "Grandmother, where is my sister?" β
Mrs. Tai looked at the people around her, and the eldest girl Bai Zhi, who was standing behind Mrs. Tai, replied, "The girl is in her room." β
Jia Yu asked, "How is my sister?" Listen to Mama, don't want to eat? β
Speaking of Jia Min, Mrs. Tai sighed and asked him to sit beside her: "Min'er has never experienced such a thing, and there are some who can't think about it for a while." Alas, you said that she, what kind of effort did she toss all day long? It was you before, and now it's Min'er, she said it happily, and she didn't want to think about it, Min'er is a child, how can she stand such words, how can she say it? β
Jia Yu said: "It's the grandson who is not good, and the grandson has wronged his sister." β
Mrs. Tai sighed and patted his hand: "It's none of your business, it's her γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Alas, I knew it was so, I knew it was so, I really would rather regret marrying and let Shan'er marry another lady, so I won't let you be wronged today." β
Jia Daishan and Shi's marriage was personally decided by the old prince, and at that time, Mrs. Tai took a fancy to another girl who was also from a scholarly family, but the old prince was in charge, and there was no part for Mrs. Tai to speak, so she could only accept this daughter-in-law who was not very fond of it in front of her son. If she had known that Shi was so noisy, Mrs. Tai would really rather go against her husband's wishes and choose another lady for her son.
Jia Yu sighed softly, if he could, how could he ever want such a mother, but that was his biological mother, even if he was unwilling to be obedient to her, but he couldn't be ruthless.
Otherwise what difference is there between him and those whom he loathes.
However, Shi's matter will be talked about later, and now the top priority is Jia Min's matter: "Grandmother, I want to talk to my sister, there are some things, maybe my sister should know." β
Mrs. Tai looked at him with some surprise: "Didn't you say it before and not let Min'er know?" Min'er, return Xiao γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Grandmother, my sister is not young anymore, she can already take care of a home." Jia Yu looked at his grandmother calmly, "There are some things, it's better to know later than early, and the long pain is better than the short pain, and my sister will be out of the cabinet in a few years, if I only know it then, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept it." β
Mrs. Tai pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Since you think this is good for Min'er, then it's up to you, just the same, don't scare Min'er." β
Jia Yu nodded yes.
Jia Min's room is not far from Mrs. Tai's room, when Jia Yu went in, Jia Min was taking a book and reading, but her mind was obviously not in the book, even if Jia Yu came in, it was the maid who reminded her to react, stood up and saluted: "Big brother." β
Jia Yu looked at his sister, although Jia Min tried his best to show that nothing happened, but he still betrayed the master with red eyes: "I heard that you went to see the old lady today, but the old lady scolded you?" Let you be wronged. β
Jia Min bit her lip: "Parents scold their children, and only those who are daughters are suffered, and they can't be wronged." β
The maid served tea, then withdrew and closed the door. Without a descendant, Jia Yu poured himself a cup of tea: "After my father died, the old lady lived in the Buddhist hall, this is the decision of my grandmother and me, do you know why?" β
