Chapter 36: Threats
In a drowsy state, Shi Shi seemed to have a dream.
In the dream, her husband Jia Daishan did not die, and did not leave her alone to be manipulated by her son and daughter-in-law; In the dream, it was not his son Jia Yu who rescued him but her husband Jia Daishan, and it was Jia Daishan who was crowned the prince of the country instead of Jia Daihua; In the dream, her mother-in-law Chen, who had been pressing herself, died of illness, and no one in the inner house could suppress herself anymore; In the dream, her daughter Jia Min was not snatched away and was always kept by her side; In the dream, Jia Hu died young, and his eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, who had not been with him since he entered the door, died in childbirthγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
The most important thing is that in this dream, as the Duchess of the Kingdom, she has the greatest authority in Rongguo Mansion except for Jia Daishan, and even more so after Jia Daishan recuperated, in order not to appear a second Zhang, she chose a low-born house for Jia Yu, and at the same time hugged Jia Lian, who was desperately born by Zhang, to her side. The eldest son, Jia Yu, didn't dare to say a wordγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
This dream was so beautiful that Shi Shi didn't want to wake up at all, wandering in the dream, gritting his teeth: how could it not be true? If so, how nice it would be! It is easy to have the highest status, the big house and the two rooms check and balance each other, no one can shake her status, they have to please her, and act according to her face!
But she knew very well that it was just a dream, and the reality was not so satisfying to her at all. The husband who died early, the mother-in-law who pressed on her head, the eldest son who was not filial but attacked the lord, the second son who couldn't compete with the eldest son in a low official position, the daughter who was snatched away, the eldest daughter-in-law who didn't like her heart, the little daughter-in-law who was obedient on the surface and had different intentions in secretγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» one by one, it's terrible!
It's just a dream, and it's going to wake up in the end.
When Shi woke up, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and after a while, he recognized that this was in his room, and several maids who looked very raw came over, and the first one asked: "The old lady is awake, do you want to eat something?" β
Shi Shi stared at this maid: "Where are you maids, why haven't you seen them?" What about amber pearls? β
The maid smiled: "The slave maid is the big girl Biyun in the old man's yard, and the old lady doesn't recognize it for a while." β
She called Shi Shi the old lady, and said the master, Shi only thought that she was still in a dream for a while, but heard her say: "Some of the amber, pearls, jade and other sisters in the old lady's previous room went out with the family, and some were sent out by the old lady. β
One sentence suddenly sobered Shi up, and she asked coldly, "What about that rebel?" Tell him to come to me! β
Thinking of Jia Yu's face-slapping behavior of sending her henchmen in front of her before, Shi Shi was a burst of anger surging upwards - rebel, rebel, rebel! This unfilial son, she shouldn't have given birth to him in the first place!
Biyun didn't seem to hear Shi's rebellious words, and still said with a smile: "The old lady has slept for so long, she must be hungry, just now the imperial doctor has come to diagnose your pulse and prescribe a prescription, and now it is estimated that the medicine is already boiling, and you can drink the medicine after eating." β
Shi Shi hated this maid very much, but thought that if he didn't eat, he took advantage of the wishes of the villains, and reluctantly ate something under the service of Biyun and a few other maids. When Biyun offered the medicine, she finally broke out: "Take it and splash it!" Who said they were going to drink this Rausch thing! β
Biyun was embarrassed: "This is the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, the master said, you must drink it, it is good for your body." β
As soon as she said this, Shi Shi was even more suspicious that there was something wrong with the medicine, maybe the rebel wanted to take this opportunity to go outside her, and he refused to drink it even more, so he waved the medicine bowl to the ground with a wave of his hand.
The maids were silent, and they cleaned up the mess under the bottom and withdrew, but it didn't take long for another bowl of medicine to be served, and Shi still didn't drink it.
When the third time the medicine was served, Jia Yu came, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Does the old lady drink the medicine?" β
The maids' answer was naturally no, but Jia Yu said: "It's okay, the old lady is in a bad mood, you go and get a bowl of medicine again, I, as a son, should also feed the old lady with medicine." β
After the medicine was brought this time, Jia Yu really brought it over in person, scooped it up with a silver spoon, and sent it to Shi's mouth, Shi turned his head away from him, Jia Yu was not angry, and put down the medicine bowl.
The maids had already quietly retreated and left the room to the mother and son with a strange atmosphere, and when there were only the two of them left in the room, Shi closed his eyes and asked indifferently, "What are you doing here?" β
Jia Yu said: "My son came to accompany the old lady." β
Shi said hatefully: "Aren't you afraid that I will sue you for unfilial piety?" β
Jia Yu said casually: "My son is just here to accompany you, why not be filial?" My son has recently learned something interesting for you to relieve your boredom - the old lady is well-informed, has she ever heard of a folk custom called "ghost marriage"? β
Shi Shi did not answer, and Jia Yu continued: "It is said that if the child dies early before they get married, the parents will find someone for them to marry, so that the child will not be lonely and lonely underneath. Although the son was silent, the son listened to it and thought how heartbroken the parents who lost their children were, and said that finding someone to find a companion for the child's secret marriage would let him kill people and set fire to avenge the child. β
Shi still ignored him, his eyes were closed as if he was asleep, and Jia Yu was still not in a hurry: "The imperial doctor said that Hu'er had smallpox, and it was very dangerous, and my son heard that Hu'er and Zhu'er of the second brother's family had a good time when his son was away, and I was really worried that Zhu'er would also be infected." β
Shi Shi suddenly opened his eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "You, what did you say?" β
Jia Yu took the spoon and gently stirred the medicinal juice, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "My son didn't say anything, old lady, my son is just worried about Hu'er and Qiong'er Zhu'er, they are all children, too delicate, if there is something that really makes us parents sad, it also makes you and the old lady worried." β
Shi Shi only felt cold, propped up his upper body, and said with difficulty: "Zhu'er is your brother's only son. β
Jia Yu smiled casually: "Old lady, Zhu'er is my nephew, but Hu'er is also my only son." β
Shi Shi looked at this son with a completely unfamiliar eye, and he didn't know what to say for a while-Jia Yu's meaning was already very clear, if Jia Hu was gone, he would let Jia Zhu be buried with him, just like a ghost marriage, and find someone to accompany Jia Hu!
Jia Yu continued to stir the medicinal juice with a spoon: "By the way, old lady, there is one more thing. He turned his head, "The second brother has already divided the property and went out, so there is no need to go out of the public account for all kinds of expenses of the second room in the future." Also, isn't the second brother also sick? The scenery in the small garden is good, the pavilions and pavilions are good, and it is also suitable for recuperation, and when the second brother comes back, let their family move in, what do you think? β
Shi Shi was furious: "You want your brother to live in the small garden next to the stable? You, you! She couldn't find anything to smash for a while, so she couldn't help grabbing the pillow next to her and smashed it, Jia Yu easily dodged it: "You don't want to?" So in your opinion, where should the second brother's family live? The place in the house is really too narrow, and I can only grieve the second brother to live in the garden. β
Shi Shi was angry, and replied without thinking: "If you want to live in the garden, you can live by yourself, and let your brother live with me, so that you don't have a filial son and make me angry to death!" β
As soon as the words came out, she knew that it was not good, and sure enough, Jia Yu's face was gloomy: "Old lady, no family has such rules, there is really no place in the house, if the second brother is unwilling, then the son will pay to buy a house for him, and he will move out and set up another mansion." β
Shi Shi was even more furious when he heard this: "You are an unfilial son, are you trying to drive your brother out?" My parents are not separated, I am still alive, and you will do this before your father's bones are cold, aren't you afraid that the world will poke your backbone! β
There was no reason to talk to the old lady, Jia Yu simply stopped talking, and made clear the choice he gave: if the second room doesn't move into the garden, then go out, he will buy a house, a sum of money, and he can afford it!
Shi Shi was extremely angry, but after the anger passed, she suddenly calmed down: Jia Zheng must not go out, because it is impossible for her to go out and live with Jia Zheng. If Jia Zheng goes out, she will have no support in the mansion, and Jia Zheng will also lose support outside - the petty officials of the six grades will grab a lot of money in the capital, but the second master of the Guogong Mansion is not easy to find, just for this, Jia Zheng will definitely not be able to go out!
But let Jia Zheng move to a small garden far away from Rongxi Hall, Shi Shi was also unwilling: "There are so many places in the house, can't you clean up a place for your brother's family?" The East Compound has been idle, so why don't you let them live there. Between the words, there were already some pleadings unconsciously.
Jia Yu replied: "Old lady, it's not that my son is reluctant, but Hu'er is about to be seven years old, and my son plans to move him to live in the East Compound, but it is not good for his younger brother to keep it, so he doesn't have to let the second brother move again after half a year." β
Shi endured and endured, but he didn't lose his temper again: "So, how about the Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner?" β
Jia Yu continued to open his eyes and say nonsense: "My son was injured in the war in his early years, and Lixiangyuan is quiet, which happens to be a place for my son to recuperate. β
Speaking of which, he didn't give him any place in the house, he just wanted to drive Jia Zheng's family to the small garden, or drive them out.
Shi Shi wanted to say again, but Jia Yu was already impatient: "Old lady, my son still has something to do, so I won't accompany you." Oh yes. He remembered something, and said, "The second brother is recuperating on the road, and I don't know when he will come back, maybe Hu'er's smallpox has run out when he comes back, so I don't have to worry about Zhu'er." It's just that I don't know how the second brother is now, I heard that the road has not been very smooth recently, some people specialize in robbing the children of rich families, and some rich children have lost their lives inexplicably, and the second brother has few people, but don't do anything. β
This is a bright threat, Shi Shi only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and only heard Jia Yu say again: "The second brother is running around on the road, he will definitely not be able to take care of his body, and when he comes back, let him go to live in the small garden to recuperate." β
After speaking, he saluted Shi: "The matter of the second brother is so decided, the old lady takes good care of her body, and her son has something to do, so she will retire first." β
When he left, Shi's barely supported body could no longer hold on, and fell back to the bed.
This son, she has no way to control it, the only way to do it now is to hope that Jia Hu can get better, otherwise, otherwise, according to his ruthlessness, I am afraid that not only Jia Zhu in the family, but even Jia Zheng, who is still on the road, is worried about his life!
