Chapter 24: The Handmaid Whistleblows
Recently, Shi Shi was like suddenly discovering the glory that her eldest son Jia Yu could bring her, and she was extremely affectionate to the people in Jia Yu's room.
Every day when he comes back, Jia Yu will see Shi Shi at the old lady or Jia Daishan β‘ a time, and then he will ask for warmth, and he will care about food, clothing, housing and transportation, as if the wife who was just faint to him in front of Jia Daishan before did not exist at all; When resting in his own yard, teasing his daughter, or inspecting Jia Hu's knowledgeβJia Hu is now enlightened, and he has begun to play the role of a strict fatherβin less than half a day, he is guaranteed that the eldest maid in Shi's room will send things over with a smile, and there will be food, clothing, and play, all of which are exquisite and precious.
This sign is so obvious that the maids in Ningbi Courtyard joked in private: "The sisters there are afraid that my wife's legs are sore from running here these days." β
Others said that the uncle had made meritorious contributions, so he was liked by his wife, Jia Yu didn't dare to think so, what Shi gave him, he ordered people to put it in a box alone, and the food was quietly distributed to the maids, and he didn't let Jia Hu Jia Qiong touch a mouthful, especially Jia Qiong's body was weak, he warned Jia Qiong's nurse: "Take a good look at Qiong'er, it's not the old lady's or our own food, and you can't let my sister touch it in a bite." If something happens to my sister who eats something that shouldn't be eaten, you give me your skin carefully! Frightened, the nurse swore again and again that she would take care of Jia Qiong.
Zhang Xian also encountered a similar situation, before the Shi family had been supporting the Wang family to fight for power with her, and had secretly stumbled Zhang Xian several times, but recently the Wang family Shi not only did not give her a problem, but also saw that she was also amiable and smiling, which made Zhang Xian's heart furious, and she didn't know what would happen to these two people.
Jia Daishan's illness was good and bad, he looked fine before the New Year, and his illness recurred again before the fifth day of the first lunar month. Jia Yu was busy entertaining, while looking for famous doctors for his father, asking for soup and medicine, and he was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.
In this way, it will be the eighth day of the first lunar month, Jia Daishan's condition will worsen again, and after the imperial doctor from the palace has diagnosed and prescribed a prescription, he called Jia Yu outside and said to Jia Yu euphemistically: "Little General Jia, Master Jia is sick to this extent, whether he can get better after taking this medicine depends on the medical fate, as long as it is in March, it is expected to be fully cured." β
In other words, if there is no accident, Jia Daishan can live until three months at most, unless he can find a miracle doctor like Hua Tuo.
When Jia Yu heard this, his eyes immediately went dark, he almost fell, and said blankly: "How can this be? β
The imperial doctor said: "Death and life have life, not human beings can change, if the boss can support until March, this catastrophe will be over, if not, in the medical skills are limited, but there is nothing to be done." β
After sending the imperial doctor away, Jia Yu was at a loss for a while, Jia Daishan called him in, Jia Yu looked at his father's haggard appearance, and said with a forced smile: "Father don't worry, the imperial doctor said that my father's illness will be cured soon." β
Jia Daishan coughed twice, stared at his eldest son's eyes and said, "You don't have to hide it, your body knows by yourself, I can't get better, but the imperial doctor said how much time I have left?" β
Jia Yu didn't dare to look at Jia Daishan, and turned his head: "What is my father talking about, how can anyone curse himself, as long as my father relaxes his mind and recuperates with peace of mind, he will soon be cured." β
Jia Daishan saw that his eldest son refused to speak, and thought that his limit was not far away, his face was sad, and he instructed: "If the old lady asks me about my illness, you can say that everything is fine, and you must not let the old man worry." β
Shi Shi originally hid in the inner room, but after hearing this, he knew that his biggest reliance was not long, so he came out crying from the inner room and cried to Jia Daishan: "You ruthless, you have always been fighting in the past few years and didn't even go home, and finally after a few years of peaceful life, you want to leave me behind!" If you leave me alone, what is the interest of me living, it is better to go with you, that is, to go underground, so that I can have a companion! β
Crying and crying, thinking that if her husband goes, she will become a widow, and she will have to beg for a living under the eldest son and daughter-in-law who is not close to her in the future, and she may have to suffer a lot of filth, and the five points of sadness turned into ten, and pushed away Zhang Xian's hand that was holding her, and only held Wang's hand and cried.
Seeing this, Wang was secretly happy in his heart, wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and persuaded: "Mrs. be careful not to hurt your body by crying, the old man Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they must be created." Over the years, Mrs. has often done good deeds to accumulate virtue and do good, help the needy, and the gods and Buddhas know that Mrs. Fortune will definitely protect the old man to turn evil into good fortune and be safe. β
Jia Daishan watched his wife cry, thinking that it had not been easy for his wife over the years, he couldn't help sighing, and said sadly: "Life and death are fate, but I owe you all these years." β
After many years of husband and wife, how could they have no feelings, Shi Shi was even more grieved when he heard Jia Daishan's words, and he couldn't help himself, and he cried endlessly, Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, and Zhang Xian were also crying, and everyone in the room cried bitterly.
Since that day, Jia Daishan's condition has been difficult to improve, and sometimes he even falls asleep day by day. Jia Yu pushed all the entertainment, and ran around every day to visit famous doctors or home remedies, only hoping that his father could turn evil into good fortune and live for more than ten years like in his previous life; Jia Zheng was serving in front of Jia Daishan every day, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the whole house, and he only hid it from the old lady.
Since knowing that Jia Dai's good life would not last long, Shi was busy taking care of her husband and couldn't take care of anything else for a while, so her enthusiastic behavior towards Jia Yu's family stopped, but before Jia Yu and Zhang Xian could get used to it, she began to send east and west to the big house again, and the things she sent were more valuable each time.
Zhang Xian one day looked at the white jade pen wash and mutton fat jade rabbit paperweight sent by Shi to Jia Hu and said to Jia Yu: "The things sent by Mrs. are too valuable, where can Hu'er use these for a child, if it is for the second master, it is appropriate." β
Jia Yu listened and took the things to play with for a while, and said lightly: "The children's family, I'm afraid that using these will break the blessing, and it is easy to develop the habit of arrogance, so let's keep it first, and see if it will be used in the future." β
So all these things were registered and locked in boxes, and it looked like they would not be used for any time.
On this day, Zhang Xian took a competent person to take care of the housework, Jia Yu was watching Jia Hu write in the small study in his yard, and another maid from Shi's side sent a pair of white jade pen holders and a good inkstone, and said to the big girl in the Ning Bi courtyard: "Mrs. said, my brother is reading and practicing calligraphy, and these are just right for my brother." β
Xiao Sheng hurriedly took it and said with a smile: "There is Sister Lao Amber, sister, please sit down, I'll pour my sister a cup of tea." β
Because Jia Yu's father and son didn't need too many people to wait in the study, and they wanted to be quiet, Xiao Sheng asked the other little maids to take this opportunity to go home and have a look, and moved a little vulture to sit and do needlework. The maid named Amber saw that there was no one else in the room, and pulled Xiao Sheng's sleeve and whispered: "No need to pour tea, just bother Xiao Sheng's sister to tell the uncle, I have something very important to tell Uncle SΓΉ now." β
Xiao Shengqi said: "Sister has something to say, sue me and let me tell the uncle, the uncle is in a bad mood these days, and now he is taking the school to write, if he doesn't call someone to go in casually, the uncle may kick me out." β
Amber insisted: "No, this matter is very important, I must sue Uncle SΓΉ in person." β
Xiao Sheng was in a dilemma, and hesitated: "It's better to be like this, my sister said to me, let me see if it's worth bothering the uncle, if I really want to work until the uncle, I just want to be scolded and go in and say to the uncle." β
Amber was so anxious that she stomped her feet and said: "My good sister, if you are not in a hurry, why should I ask my wife for this errand to come to you, if it is delayed for a long time, my wife will be suspicious, and I will not be able to make a mistake." β
Before he finished speaking, he heard Jia Yu asking: "What's not good to deal with?" It turned out that Jia Hu finished writing, Jia Yu looked very satisfied, and the father and son came out, just when they heard this.
Amber hurriedly saw the ceremony, but did not answer, only looked at Xiao Sheng and Jia Hu, Xiao Sheng was interested, and hurriedly said: "Brother has written these words for a long time, I'm afraid that he is already hungry, the slave maid will take my brother to eat some snacks first." β
Waiting for Xiao Sheng to take Jia Hu out of the house, Jia Yu sat on the chair and said, "Say, what's the matter?" β
Amber first wanted to speak and then stopped, Jia Yu waited for a while, but didn't see her speak, thinking that she was taking Qiao, frowned and said, "You have something to do, if it's okay, go back to your wife." β
Amber said urgently: "Uncle, the slave really has something to report!" The slave and the slave followed the wife, and overheard the wife talking to the second master and the master, saying γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Hearing that it was related to his father, wife, and Jia Zheng, Jia Yu was reflexively startled, and asked, "What did you say, what did your wife say?" β
Amber was so frightened by his voice that she forgot her words and stood there in a daze. Jia Yu also felt that this was not like his usual appearance, so he settled down and said slowly: "Don't be afraid, say it, what did you hear, what did your wife say to the master?" β
Amber came to her senses, looked around, took a few steps closer, and whispered to Jia Yu: "Uncle, don't let your wife know that it was the slave and maid who said it, otherwise the slave and maid are afraid that there will be no place to bury them." The slave overheard that day, the wife said to the old man and the second master, saying that γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»With the merit of the uncle, it is okay to have another title!" β
Amber deliberately lowered his voice, but these words were no less than the sound of thunder in Jia Yu's ears, he only felt dizzy for a while, and his right hand grabbed the armrest, staring at Amber: "Mrs. really said that?" β
Amber nodded timidly, and Jia Yu asked again, "What else have you heard?" Can you hear the old man's answer? β
Amber hurriedly shook her head: "The slave only heard a few words at that time, but it seems that the master did not answer the wife. β
Jia Yu only felt upset, sat for a long time, and saw the maid looking at him shyly, and probably understood what was going on, if it was in his previous life, he might have pulled this maid to the bed without scruples, but now he was very confused, not to mention this maid, even the Nine Heavens Fairy didn't want to pay attention to it in front of him, and reluctantly said: "I know, you have been out for a long time, so let's go back to my wife quickly." β
Amber was a little disappointed, bowed her head in response, and slowly retreated out the door. Jia Yu waited for her to go out, and the anger could no longer be suppressed, and with a wave of his hand, he swept the white jade pen holder and Duan Yan on the table to the ground.
It turned out that his wife actually had such an idea, and figured out GuΓ² to persuade his father to let him give up the title to Jia Zheng, no wonder γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» recently, no wonder!
