Chapter 31: Before the Storm
As soon as the news of Jia Yu's encounter with the deceased lord in his dream came out, the gossip in the house immediately subsided quickly, coupled with Jia Yu's obvious suppressive attitude, he sent out a few people who dared to chew his tongue and say that the old lady had a good personality, and the people in the house who had always been the best at looking at the direction of the wind did not dare to mention it again one by one, and β‘began to praise Jia Daishan and Jia Yu's filial piety and the good fortune of the old lady to have a good son and grandson.
The Lai family was ordered by the Shi family to visit Jia Yu in Ningbi Courtyard and came back, and when he told the Shi family about it, the Shi family happened to have eaten a simple meal under the service of the Wang family and the big maids, and was sitting on the kang to rest. Shi Shi listened to the Lai family's relay, "The uncle said that he went first, and the master had something to explain, so he called him in a dream, and the uncle's body was fine" After being silent for a while, he called the Lai family to call Jia Yu: "You go and see if the uncle is free, if he is free, ask him to come to me for a while, and say that I have something to ask him." β
The Lai family remembered the cold and frightening eyes of the uncle when he inquired about the news before, and he shivered in his heart, he really didn't want to go again, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only agree to retreat. Shi Shi looked at the indoor room full of simple but rich furnishings, thinking about the future, and silently calculating in his heart.
Shi has rarely taken the initiative to call Jia Yu over, she has always waited for her son to come to ask for peace, this time she felt that she took the initiative to send someone to call him to give Jia Yu a great face, who wants to Lai's family went for a long time, and brought back a sentence "Uncle is busy with the master's affairs, now I have no leisure, and I will listen to my wife's teachings when all kinds of affairs are over." β
Shi Shi pressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What is the uncle doing, even if I asked him to come over?" β
The Lai family lowered his head and replied: "The little guy on the second door said that the uncle is checking the honor guard of various affairs to be used for the master's funeral. I didn't dare to say anything else, my master knew that the Lai family had followed Shi for so many years, so he naturally knew what kind of person Shi was.
Wang Shi looked at Shi's face and didn't dare to speak, Shi Shi said lightly: "Since that's the case, then let him come back when he's done." β
The Lai family bowed their heads and agreed, and when they saw that Shi Shi had no other instructions, they quietly stood aside and waited. Shi pondered for a long time, and then listened to the maids and daughters-in-law outside: "The girl is here." β
After a while, Jia Min, who was dressed in plain clothes and wearing a white fox fur fur fur cape, came in, untied the cloak under the service of the big maid, first greeted Shi, and then saluted the second sister-in-law Wang on the side. Shi couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he saw his beloved little daughter, and said happily: "Min'er is here, I heard the maid say that you didn't sleep well last night?" He also said to the big girls around Jia Min: "You have to be careful, the girl is weak, don't let her catch a cold at night." β
Jia Min pursed her lips: "Mrs. Xie cares, Min'er just had something in her heart last night, and she couldn't sleep for a while, Mrs. Don't worry about Min'er." β
Shi Shi pulled his daughter into his arms and kissed his daughter's delicate face: "You are a little person, where do you know that there is something in your heart, your body is delicate, don't think too much about seriously hurting your body." For a while, he thought of Jia Daishan again, and said sadly: "When your father was here, you were the one who hurt the most, if he knew that you were like this, he must be anxious." β
Jia Min remembered that his father really loved him, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and he was worried that there were more than two mothers and daughters in the house, so he bowed his head and said: "Father is good to Min'er, Min'er remembers it, and I dare not forget it for a moment." β
Shi nodded with satisfaction, thinking that it was fortunate that her daughter was not taught badly by the old lady, and she was still facing herself, so she heard the little girl ask again: "Madam, how is the old lady?" Min'er heard from the mother-in-law in the house that the eldest brother met his father's heroic spirit, and his father told the eldest brother to be filial to the old lady. The eldest sister-in-law has to take care of the housework, and the eldest brother has to deal with things outside, so she doesn't have much time to accompany the old lady. β
Shi's hand froze suddenly, and he couldn't help but hate in his heart - what an old lady, what a Jia pardon Zhang Xian, she actually pulled her daughter out of her heart!
Thinking about it like this, his tone couldn't help but become light: "You are a child, what can you do?" You don't have to worry about the old lady, so many people can't eat dry food, and besides, there are your nephews and nieces, the old lady is old and needs to be quiet, so don't go to the old man's house. Then he asked, "Could it be that my subordinates here have neglected you and made you not want to live with your mother, if that is the case, you must not wronged yourself, and you must sue me, I will see who dares to treat you badly." β
Jia Min opened his mouth, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the Wang family on the side, but finally said: "There is no such thing, too much heart, the sisters and grandmothers here are very good to Min'er." Everyone treated her very well, so good that it could be said that she deliberately stammered, but she knew in her heart that that kind of stuttering could not be taken seriously, and she would rather go back to the courtyard of the old lady's small but sincere grandmother sister than to be flattered like this.
Moreover, Jia Min looked at the second sister-in-law who was waiting for his wife on the side again, she always had a feeling that the second sister-in-law was not as good as the sister-in-law was to her, and she was not sincere to her, and even sometimes she had the feeling that the second sister-in-law was glaring at her fiercely, although she couldn't think of when she had offended this sister-in-law and attributed this feeling to an illusion, but she was not comfortable in her heart.
Houmen has no young sons, no family affection, and the hearts of young children are far more sensitive than adults think, not to mention Jia Min, who was raised by the old lady herself.
Shi didn't want Jia Min to return to the old lady, just perfunctory, but he didn't expect Jia Yu to come to her to pick up Jia Min within two days, the reason is: the old lady misses her granddaughter.
Shi Shi looked at this eldest son who had been excused for a few days and didn't come to see him, even if he asked for an excuse and didn't give himself a chance to speak, and then thought about the youngest son who was extremely filial and insisted on coming to him every day no matter how tired he was, and then thinking about Jia Zheng's pale face being tossed by Jia Yu with various excuses in the past few days, he was angry in his heart: "You are free now." β
Jia Yu said respectfully: "My father's funeral affairs are complicated, and my son's ability is limited, so it is my son's fault that I can't take Mrs. Huan's knees every day." β
He took out Jia Daishan as a shield, and Shi Shi couldn't say anything bad: "The old lady is old, and Hu'er Qiong'er is by her side, she may not be able to take care of her due to her lack of energy, so let Min'er be by my side, I can rest assured when I look at it." β
Jia Yu said: "My son knows that his wife is considerate of the old lady, but the old man likes to be lively, and he is used to having his sister by his side, and now he can't see it all of a sudden, so he wants to take his sister back, which is one of them; My son and An Ning have been so busy these days that they can't take care of Hu'er Qiong'er, so I want to ask my sister to help and take care of the two of them so that they don't disturb the old lady, which is the second; The third is, the son and son's daughter-in-law are in charge of internal and external affairs, and the second brother and younger siblings are waiting with you, so the younger sister is waiting with the old lady, which is also in line with the father's mind. β
With Jia Daishan's wishes and the old lady's wishes, he didn't even let Shi find a reason, and was determined to take Jia Min back.
Shi couldn't find a reason to refute, and remembered the incident in his heart, so he could only say: "If your father knows, he must be willing to do his filial piety for Min'er." So he asked someone to go and pack up the things for Jia Min first, and said, "Wait, I have something to ask you." β
Jia Yu leisurely watched Shi Shi drive everyone else out, leaving only the Lai family and the Wang family: "What does the wife have to ask her son?" β
Shi Shi asked first: "I heard that you kicked out several people in your yard?" β
Jia Yu replied: "Exactly, some of those people steal, some gamble, and some γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" He looked at the Lai family, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Talking nonsense, don't take the majesty of the master seriously, our family can't afford to raise and use such slaves, so my son had to let them out." β
The Lai family shuddered imperceptibly.
Shi Shi asked again: "You said that you met your father that day, but what did he say?" If it's just telling you something, why did it take you a day? There was no lack of suspicion in his tone.
Jia Yu said what he said to his grandmother again, and finally said: "It is said that there is one day in the sky and one year in the earth, and there is also a saying that "it is only seven days in the mountains, and it has been a thousand years in the world". β
Shi Shi was skeptical: "Then what else did he say?" Have I told you about me and your brothers and sisters? β
"Father didn't mention you and your second brother and sister, but γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Jia Yu hesitated for a moment, with an expression of trying to think of something, "Ah, by the way, before parting, the father seemed to say something to his son, γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» said, be careful of villains!" β
As soon as the words came out, Shi's face changed imperceptibly, and Wang also raised his head to look at Jia Yu, and then lowered his head as her woodcarved bodhisattva, without saying anything.
Jia Yu carefully observed the faces of the three people, and sneered in his heart. Shi Shi took a deep breath and said sadly: "I have been married to him for so many years, and he didn't even mention me to youγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" said Yipa, covering his face and crying.
Jia Yu gently and skillfully persuaded a few words, and the people outside reported that the girl's things had been packed, so he said: "Mrs. don't be sad, maybe it's just that the time is urgent, and the father doesn't want the old lady to worry about his son for too long, so he just forgot about it for a while, maybe the father will entrust the dream to you and the second brother and sister tonight." It's just that now it's getting late, and the son will take his sister back to the old lady first. β
So it was another farewell, and when Jia Yu walked out of the Rongxi Hall with Jia Min surrounded by a group of servants and maids, he turned around to look at the solemn and gorgeous building, and only sneered in his heart.
Madam, if your father knew what you had done, I wonder if he would have come to you in his dreams?
After Jia Yu and Jia Min left, Shi Shi also sent Wang away: "Your second master has been very tired of guarding the spirit of the master for the past few days, and I know his filial piety, so you go back and tell him that you don't need him to come and see me tonight." β
Wang said: "Mrs. has a loving heart, and the daughter-in-law thanked the second master on behalf of her." β
After Wang left, Shi leaned on the kang and closed his eyes to recuperate, and after a while, he suddenly instructed the Lai family: "It's too dark, you go and light a candle." β
The Lai family walked over and lit the candle, looked at Shi's face hidden in the place where the candlelight could not be illuminated, and said tremblingly: "Madam, what can I do about the old lady?" β
Shi Shi opened his eyes, glanced at her and closed them, and said calmly, "What's the matter with the old lady?" β
"But ma'am, the γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» before"
"The old lady has nothing to do." Shi still didn't open his eyes, "The old lady is a blessed person, a rich and noble life, of course there is nothing, if there is, you will deal with it"
The Lai family's body was agitated, and he replied: "Yes, the slave and maid know." β
