Chapter 18: The Aftermath (Part I)
Daughter
Daughter
How could it be a daughter's?
After Jia Hu, shouldn't it be Jia Lian?
Jia Yu froze there for a while, his mind was in chaos, and his thoughts were full of thoughts: How could it be a daughter? Where did Jia Lian go? What are the signs? What has changed? Was the birth of this child accidental, or was it ...... The whole future will change?
Subconsciously, he straightened his face.
Jia Dai Shanzai looked at it carefully, took every expression of the eldest son into his eyes, and sighed for a while: "Yu'er, your daughter-in-law gave birth to the eldest granddaughter of our family, this is a very good thing, you don't have to worry too much, go and see your daughter-in-law and daughter first."
It's not this that he's obsessed with...... Jia Yu muttered to himself in his heart, pulled his face, and replied: "Yes, master, my son is retiring."
But when he walked to the door, Jia Daishan suddenly said, "You wait."
Jia Yu: "Master?"
Jia Daishan didn't speak, and after a while, he said slowly: "You are also a father, this great family inheritance passed down by your ancestors will be in charge of you in the future, and if you encounter this kind of situation in the future, you must find out first, don't be as reckless as today but let your relatives and enemies be happy." People say that family and everything is prosperous, and I only hope that your brothers can live in harmony and support each other. ”
Shi Shi was looking for an ointment to medicate Jia Zheng, and when he heard this, his hand shook, and the strength was too much, and Jia Zheng immediately "hissed" lightly, and he didn't know if it was because of his father's words or because of his mother's strength.
Jia Yu didn't feel anything: this business should have been his, should the ancestral inheritance be split half to Jia Zheng? Although his wife has a lot of private rooms, he has long stopped counting on it, his father's estimate will be divided equally, and if he is not divided equally, it will not be much less, and the father will at least maintain a superficial fairness; As for Jia Zheng, brothers support each other? I'm afraid that if he helps Jia Zheng, Jia Zheng can return him with a knife!
Therefore, he only said: "Yes, master, my son knows, and he will never do it again."
Jia Daishan waved his hand: "You can go."
When the figure of the eldest son disappeared, Jia Daishan asked Feng Huanhuan to go back to his mother, and he watched his wife give medicine to the second son, looked at it, and suddenly said: "Zheng'er, when your daughter-in-law is born, you will go back to Jinling to prepare for the exam."
Shi Shi exclaimed: "Master? Zheng's daughter-in-law is about to give birth in September, so won't Zheng'er be able to spend years at home? ”
"A manly man, how can he only stay at home if he wants to make a contribution?" Jia Daishan disagreed, where did he care about what was not the year when he led the army to fight, "Zheng'er went back to Jinling as soon as possible, firstly, to avoid being unaccustomed to the water and soil, secondly, to settle down early and study quietly, and thirdly, to visit relatives and friends in Jinling, and make friends with a few scholars, as for the New Year, it will not be at home this year." ”
Shi Shi knew her husband's temper very well, and said softly: "It's better to wait for Zheng'er's child to go back after the full moon."
Jia Daishan felt that it was feasible and agreed. Shi Shi summoned the maid to send Jia Zheng back to recuperate, and then poured a cup of tea for her husband with her own hands, and complained: "Yu'er is such a big person, and he has no stability at all, and he actually listened to the wind and rain to beat his brother, and he refused to even listen to his brother's explanation." I can also mediate today, if he listens to the villain's provocation again in the future, how can this kind of thing happen again, how can I rest assured. ”
Jia Daishan only closed his eyes and said: "He is still young, and it is normal to be reckless, and there will be more things in the future, and only those who are more sensible will be able to do more." sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that the relationship between the two sons is not as good as he thought, and it can even be said to be bad, otherwise the eldest son's first reaction when he heard such a thing shouldn't be to cover up for his younger brother? The eldest son is strong and the second son is weak, if there is really trouble in the future, the second son will only suffer a loss, but the only way to do this is to let the second son take the test as soon as possible.
Shi Shi looked at her husband's face and said: "Yu'er is already a four-rank general, and he is a brother, he wants to teach Zheng'er a lesson like today, who can stop him, if Zheng'er can have a meritorious title or something, at least Yu'er will not treat Zheng'er like today."
Before the words fell, Jia Daishan opened his eyes and looked at her, his gaze as sharp as a knife. Shi's heart was pounding, and he disguised: "Isn't there a quota for the eunuch under the master's name?" If it is given to Zheng'er, it will also save Zheng'er the pain of going back and forth between the capital and Jinling. ”
Jia Daishan's gaze softened and said, "What do you know?" The literati are light, not Zheng'er's own fame, how can they afford it, Zheng'er has great talents, and in the future, he will be named on the gold list and enter the court, how can he not be allowed to be in Qingliu because of this. ”
Shi Shi smiled: "It's because I'm lonely." stopped mentioning this, but dispelled Jia Daishan's suspicions.
Why don't Jia Daishan mention it for the time being, Jia Yu went to see his grandmother after leaving Rongxi Hall, the old man was busy, and he rushed to Ningbi Courtyard without saying a few words: "I know that you remember your daughter-in-law and daughter, and go quickly, so that there is only one shell left in front of my eyes, and I don't know that I will not let you go." He also asked the steward to give a reward to the subordinates to celebrate: "The birth of the eldest sister is a great joy, and everyone in the house will be given an extra month's monthly money, and the waiters in the Ningbi courtyard will be paid for another month."
Jia Yu smiled wryly, said goodbye to his grandmother and left, he was indeed absent-minded, but the reason for absent-mindedness could not be said to his grandmother.
When he returned to Ningbi Courtyard, the maids and mothers-in-law came up to report the good news and beg for rewards, and Jia Yu didn't care about undressing the sachet or something, and then went to see his wife Zhang Xian first, Zhang Xian was so tired that she fell asleep after giving birth to a child, and he didn't quarrel with her.
Zhang Xian had already cleaned up a house next to the main house for the newborn, and the furniture and curtains were also fully prepared, and the newborn sister was placed there. When Jia Yu went, Jia Hu and Jia Min were also there, and after the ceremony, the little girl pointed to the little girl in the nurse's arms, and said to him very entangledly: "Big brother, she looks so ugly."
Jia Hu on the side nodded vigorously and added seriously: "My sister is really ugly, but don't be afraid, Hu'er will protect her in the future, and no one will want to bully my sister."
Jia Yu couldn't cry or laugh, how can a newborn child see the beauty and ugliness? So I looked at the nurse's hand, and the child was small, wrinkled, and his skin was a little red, it was really ...... It's ugly.
He looked at this child and wondered in his heart: it is said that he only has one daughter in Yingchun, why did another one pop up? Or is Yingchun destined to have only one brother in his fate, so he chased after him?
It's like knowing that her father is "saying" bad things about her, the originally well-behaved little guy cried "wow", and the nurse saw that he didn't seem to like the child, and laughed while hurriedly holding the baby: "Uncle, big girl, brother, newborn children are like this, and when my sister grows up, she will be very beautiful, maybe even more beautiful than the peach in the second master's room."
Jia Yu's brows suddenly frowned, and she looked carefully, this nurse is in her twenties, wearing half-new green satin clothes, and she looks quite honest, but one by one
Jia Yu's eyes swept from the collar that was open for a little while and he could see the skin, and then thought about the faint fragrance that he had just smelled that obviously came from the fat powder, and he looked honest on the surface, but he was not necessarily really honest.
Stretched out his hand to hug his daughter, unsurprisingly, his fingers touched a soft thing, Jia Yu put his daughter on the rosewood bed covered with Shi Qingtuan flower makeup satin quilt, and wiped her hands with disgust with the handkerchief in her sister's hand, and ordered: "Someone, this woman has made the eldest sister cry without knowing how serious, you guys quickly beat her out, and she will not be allowed to be near her sister in the future." Qingyin, you went back to the old lady and changed the eldest sister to a nurse. ”
No one in Ning Bi Courtyard dared to ignore Jia Yu's words, the nurse was unloaded like this, and she was not convinced and was trying to theorize, Jia Hu's nurse and several big maids had already worked together to drag her out, and the mother-in-law and maids standing under the stairs outside the house laughed and teased her: "Didn't my sister entrust the noble man's fortune to the high branch, why did she fall down." It made the nurse angry and ashamed, so she was not embarrassed.
The old lady listened to Qingyin's report and said: "I have an honest and hard-working nurse here, I thought I'd send it to my sister when I waited, but since the uncle is here, you just have to take it back to your uncle." It was no surprise that the grandson expelled the first nurse.
The second nurse is a little older, but she can't find a trace of fault in her manners and actions, and her movements are very skillful. Jia Yu watched the nurse carefully and gently coax her daughter to sleep, and was very satisfied and was about to leave to flip through the book to name her daughter, when Jia Min grabbed her sleeve.
Jia Yu: "Sister?"
The little girl grabbed her brother's sleeve, looked back at her little niece's nurse, and then said to her brother very seriously: "Big brother, what you just threw away is my favorite handkerchief, one by one, happy, happy, happy."
Jia Yu: "......"
Who will sue him, how to deal with the awkward little girl?
