The one hundred and thirteenth reunion

The second and third rooms of the Jin family arrived in the capital together, and now the Jin family completely left the south and settled in the capital. Although the two rooms together are crowded, they have been prepared in advance, and the house is cleaned and prepared, so they can move in directly when they come.

The second room is on the east side, the third room is on the west side, and their big room is still the original mansion in the middle. The east and west sides were originally people's houses, and later moved away one after another, and the eldest lord bought them separately, so that it would be convenient for the brothers to live together in the future. He ordered someone to open a corner door on the wall of the east and west courtyards, which made it easier to move around. There is no need to move the teachers to go to the main gate, wear the garden, and enter the second gate, and the juniors save a lot of legs and feet for the old lady to ask for peace in the morning and evening.

When the old lady heard that the second and third rooms had arrived, she hurried back from the Anjia courtyard. Just as the weather is getting cooler, the city is not so unbearable. They knew that when the old lady returned, a large crowd greeted them at the second gate. In addition to the three sisters of Dafang and Brother Han, Aunt Li took Wanrou, and the second wife took her eldest daughter-in-law, and the third wife took her son and two little girls who were not yet married. Behind are aunts, girls, mothers-in-law, and a lot of people, which are dazzling to watch.

When they saw the old lady, they all asked for a salute, and for a while they didn't know who was saying hello, the old lady looked at this, looked at that, and her eyes were full of smiles.

"Let's go in and talk slowly." The old lady is old, and she likes the whole family to be lively and lively together, and the younger generations are happy.

She walked over, took the hand of her eldest granddaughter-in-law, and asked softly, "I heard that you are happy, this journey is hard?" Look at your complexion, I want to come to nothing. But rest more when your body is heavy, and don't pay attention to those red tape. The fourth generation of our Jin family is in your belly, but Jin is expensive. ”

Yan's face immediately turned red, and he whispered a promise. Seeing this, the second lady smiled and replied: "I will let her rest for a few more days, she has to come out to greet the old lady, and she will talk about it after she has seen her." This child knows the etiquette best, no wonder the old lady is biased. It's just that this thin-skinned person blushes at every turn. It's all your own home, what's there to be ashamed of? ”

"This child has been married to our family for a short time, and it will be good to wait for a year or two." The third lady is tall in the middle of her eyebrows, her eyebrows are as thin as the tips of willow leaves, and her apricot eyes are smiling. It's just that she speaks kindly, which makes people feel a little better.

Yan smiled gratefully at her, and followed the old lady to the east across the courtyard, followed by everyone.

Youyi had been standing behind the old lady, and she felt a lot of eyes swirling on her along the way. Looking down, it turned out to be the two cousins of the third room. One of them is called Huiyi, who is not yet fifteen this year; The other is called Zhuang Yi, thirteen this year, and they are all older than Youyi.

Receiving their curious eyes, Youyi smiled in return, and they were a little embarrassed. Youyi didn't have much impression of these two cousins, but now that they meet, they feel that their facial features seem to be more like the Jin family. Hui Yi's round face looks a little honest, but Zhuang Yi has the gentleness and smallness of a woman in the south. They are also concubines, but they don't have the good luck of Youyi, and the old lady never put them by her side when she was in the south. They are naturally curious about Youyi, and now that they have met, they can't help but take a look.

Everyone entered the house one after another, and the old lady naturally wanted to sit on the top, and the three daughters-in-law were lined up, and the juniors stood behind them.

The second and third wives stood up, and a girl had already placed a few futons in the middle of the ground. They officially greeted the old lady, and then the grandchildren like Huiyi.

"All sit down and talk." The old lady ordered people to move all the embroidery piers out, and everyone sat down one after another.

"What the hell is going on in the south?" The old lady couldn't help but ask.

When the second lady heard this, she hurriedly stood up, and the old lady motioned for her to sit down, and she sat down again and replied: "We didn't have a plague in Luzhou, but I heard that there were also deaths." The crops have long since died of drought, and there is no harvest on the farms. Fortunately, I received a letter from my uncle a long time ago, and stored a large amount of ice cubes in advance, not only did it not heat up, but also made a fortune. ”

"The master has already sent people to buy a lot of food, enough for our family to eat for a year or two, don't worry about the shortage of food this autumn and the sky-high price." The eldest lady also smiled and said, "In addition, the old man has prepared a lot of seeds for grain grains, so as not to miss the good time for farming if he can't buy them in the spring." ”

The old lady had a little more smile on her face when she heard this, "No matter who you are, you must first eat enough!" There is surplus food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart. ”

"What the old lady said is very true." The second wife replied with a smile, "This year's sudden drought was beyond everyone's expectations. If it weren't for the old lady's foresight, we might have been in a panic. ”

"How can I have the ability to get a glimpse of the heavenly opportunity, it is all thanks to the Buddha Hongfu who actually dreamed of me. The stakes are so important that I don't dare to make a public announcement, and I don't even dare to know about my relatives, for fear that it is just a ridiculous dream. If I had known that this would work, I would have said it a long time ago. The old lady regretted a little, she knew that her mother's side was also suffering heavy losses, and the same clan and clan also needed support to get through the difficulties.

"This is already a great blessing for the old lady! Although we are not quiet, we have prepared enough food and seeds, and relatives and friends have shared! "The Yu family is the old lady's family, and the eldest lady takes care of it in many ways. Say hello in advance, you can provide hundreds of loads of grain in the last autumn, which is enough for the Yu family to solve their temporary needs, and the seeds of spring also have a share of the Yu family.

The third wife heard a smile on her face, her mother's family relied on the land for food, and her family had thousands of acres of fertile land, but she didn't make a penny this year. In the past, all the grain was sold in the winter, and now we are worried about the grain for the winter and the seeds for the spring.

"At most, our family has lost some money in Zhuangzi, but it has also made up for it from trading." She smiled and said, "There are a few in the southernmost area, which are miserable!" Let's just say that the Wang family, who often does business with our family, heard that their vitality was greatly damaged. Many people who dared to give them credit before went to collect debts, for fear that after a while, all of them would be lost. Although the situation of her mother's family is not optimistic, it is a big deal to spend a lot of money on food and seeds

Spend a lot of money on food and seeds. Besides, with the help of the Jin family, it is not a problem to get through the difficulties.

As soon as this topic opened, everyone began to talk about it. Especially the people from the south who came from the two rooms, there was more news than Youyi and the others. It seems that the big families in the south have been somewhat impacted, and some families who have no foresight and rely on God for food have even moved their foundations.

"How is Sister Xuan's in-laws?" The old lady suddenly thought that Xuanyi's in-laws had a lot of granges, and although they had other businesses, they would also suffer heavy losses.

When the second wife heard this, she hurriedly replied: "They shouldn't hurt their money!" At the beginning of the year, they split up, and Sister Xuan's father-in-law asked for a few shops and an ancestral house, and the rest were converted into cash. The old lady knows that their room is a single transmission, and the uncle is not a material who can farm and do business. He knows that he is studying and preparing to take this year's big exam, and hopes that the Buddha will bless him to be able to go to high school! ”

Everyone knows that Sister Xuan's mother-in-law is a big landowner, and the third wife's mother's family mainly grows cotton, sesame and other crops, while her mother-in-law's family grows sorghum, corn, soybeans and other major food crops. Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land can produce tens of thousands of taels of silver in two seasons a year. They also opened a few shops, but they were all related to growing crops - rice shops.

Now, the land belongs to the two houses, and the shop that sells rice belongs to Sister Xuan and them. Since it is a rice shop, it is natural that all kinds of rice are indispensable in the warehouse.

Now that the disaster is out, they can make a lot of money. Then use that money as capital, and do other businesses. Besides, the Jin family's business is big, and it has a relationship with the palace, so it is enough to let their family participate in it. With money in hand, I'm afraid that I won't be able to make money!

It seems that the second wife really takes the old lady's dream seriously, but how can her in-laws believe such a ridiculous dream? It seems that Sister Xuan'er's status in her mother-in-law's family is not low, and they didn't dare to make a big noise, they seemed to suffer a little bit when they split up, but now it seems that they have taken advantage of it. It is estimated that they will be even more tight-lipped over there, otherwise the other two rooms will have to eat them!

The third wife couldn't help but pout when she heard the second wife's words, what does it mean to be in harmony without hurting money, it is clear that she provided the news to her in-laws. When the old lady wrote back, I don't know who said that it was not credible, and said that the old lady was too old to make her happy. But this is a top priority in a blink of an eye, and even the in-laws have been notified, who can believe such a statement now?

blamed herself for being too simple-minded, and she didn't take it seriously at all when she was so fooled, and privately said that the old lady went to the capital and became chatty and would toss people. Now her mother's family has suffered a lot of losses, and she is more and more afraid to talk about it everywhere. The second wife looks gentle and lovely on the outside, and she speaks kindly, but only as a concubine who has suffered a secret loss can she know the inside of the second wife. This girl's family background is not good, and she relies on the support of the old lady, and rides on her head. Now that I'm in the capital, let's see how the eldest lady cleans her up!

"Although it is a good omen for the Buddha to appear to the dream, it is a very important matter, and many people have died because of the drought. This is the capital, no more than the south, even if you talk in your own home, you have to pay attention. The old lady said with a solemn face, "All of you here today are your own family, I will say this again, if anyone dares to leak the news, they are against the entire Jin family, and they are the sinners of the family!" After speaking, his sharp eyes swept over everyone's faces.

Youyi's heart moved, and she subconsciously glanced at the second wife, and found that there was an inexplicable love flashing in her eyes, and she disappeared in an instant. If it weren't for her quick reaction, I guess she wouldn't have found it. The third lady glanced at the second wife with a smile on the corner of her mouth, with a hint of schadenfreude in it.

The old lady spoke to the people for a while, and then let everyone rest. Youyi went back to the room to pack her luggage, packed up and went to the old lady's room. She walked to the door and heard a movement of speech inside, and when she listened carefully, it was the second wife, who hesitated and turned back.

At this moment, the second lady was kneeling in front of the old lady with tears in her eyes.

The old lady knows that Sister Xuan has been married for almost three years, and she has not added a son and a half daughter to her in-law's family. Although her in-laws didn't say anything, who could be willing to change it? I wanted Sister Xuan's life to be better, so I revealed a little bit of style. But I didn't dare to say that it was the old lady who dreamed that the Buddha appeared, but I just told Sister SΓΉ Xuan not to ask for fields when they split up. Her father-in-law is not good at farming, and her uncle is a master who can only read, so it is not difficult to convince them. ”

Sister Xuan's father-in-law is not only not good at farming, but he is simply a master who is not diligent in his limbs and does not distinguish between grains and grains. The wine glass is not left in his hand all day long, as long as he does not worry about the effort and the silver is spent.

Hearing the second wife's words, the old lady's face softened a lot, and she asked her to get up and speak, "People often say that the daughter-in-law was a child back then, and she didn't wait for three years. Look at your sister-in-law, she also worked hard at the beginning, and now she is not a child and daughter! Don't be too anxious, if you really can't get pregnant, ask your sister-in-law to get some medicine to eat. ”

"My sister-in-law got me a lot of prescriptions, and introduced a few doctors who treated her back then. It's just that my sister-in-law has taken a lot of medicine, and I can't tell which recipe works. The symptoms of this person are different from people, Sister Xuan is still young, so she can't try to eat them one by one. As the saying goes, medicine is three parts poison, and I'm afraid that she will eat her body badly. The doctor introduced by the sister-in-law read it, and they all said that it was a deficiency of qi and blood. The old lady has seen more than us, and knows that those doctors are half-vomiting and half-swallowing when they speak. They were afraid that they would not be able to eat and walk around because of the consequences of the medicine, so they would rather lose one or two flavors and let people slowly recuperate. Don't you know that their medical skills are not very good, and if they are adjusted slowly like this, they don't know how many years they will be adjusted. ”

"The eldest master knows the doctor in the hospital, but Sister Xuan is not in the capital right now." The old lady thought for a while and said, "Next month, I will ask the eldest master to arrange it, you write a letter to Sister Xuan to come over in person, and don't tell her in-laws." ”

The second wife smiled when she heard this, "This is great!" I was thinking about the many famous doctors in the capital, and I wanted Sister Xuan to come over and have a look. If you can ask the doctor of the Tai Hospital, then

Doctor of the hospital, it was more and more a surprise, and I didn't dare to think about it at all. It's just that it's too troublesome uncle, and I don't know if I will owe too much personal debt. ”

"It's okay, we're all a family, no matter what we do." The old lady took a sip of tea and said, "After all, your uncle has been operating in the capital for many years, and he still has some connections. You are not familiar with all the things in the capital, so you can learn from your sister-in-law slowly in the future. ”

As soon as these words came out, the second wife's eyes immediately flashed. She hurriedly said: "I brought all the account books here, and I will personally send them to my sister-in-law in a while." Originally, I was not the material in charge, but because my sister-in-law was not in my hometown, I was stubborn. Fortunately, there was an old lady beside her to give some teaching, so there was no big difference. Now that I have come to the capital, I am naturally the housekeeper of my sister-in-law, and I can let go of my worries and secretly breathe a sigh of relief. ”

"Well, if you think so, go ahead." The old lady had a smile on her face.

Although these two wives are her maiden relatives, she is the old lady of the Jin family, so she is naturally dominated by the Jin family. She knew in her heart that these two wives had a lot of eyes, but they were a little childish. The second wife's maiden family is not very decent, her two unproductive brothers come to fight the autumn breeze in three days, it turns out that the old lady in the south of the old family just turned a blind eye, after all, it is also the old lady's relative.

And these two wives look at meekness, in fact, they can handle the old men the most. Although the old lady didn't see it with her own eyes, and the Jin family didn't have any rumors that damaged their face, they could also find some clues from the clues about who the old lady was.

The Jin family has three rooms, and only the son and daughter of the second master are all grandchildren. Although the second master also has two concubines, they are just deaf ears - decorations. The second wife has a good means, and soon after entering the door, she sent away the big girl who was waiting for the second master. The concubine who was rewarded by the old lady fell ill because of a miscarriage, and is now recuperating in the grange from the south. The remaining two, one is an orphan girl bought from outside, and the other is the second wife's dowry girl.

The second wife has a soft temperament, speaks kindly, and has never lost her temper with anyone in the years since she entered the door. She is used to coaxing the old lady to be happy, and she is a relative, so the old lady sees that the second master is happy all day long, so she can't bear it.

Don't look at the third wife's sharp words, but the third master accepts the concubine without blinking, and the concubine is neither big nor small. The third wife doesn't take care of the affairs of the house, and it is difficult to suppress it. In those years, because of this incident, the third wife cried a lot to her to complain. However, the old lady is biased towards her son in her heart, and besides, it is common for men to take concubines, and if the main room can't suppress the concubine, she has no ability!

In terms of scheming, the second wife is naturally a lot higher than the third wife, but the pattern is too small. As the old lady of the Jin family, she naturally hopes to see people prosperous. It is necessary to suppress the concubine room, but it can't be too much, so that the people in the second room wither. One of the third master's concubines was pregnant and about to give birth, so she stayed in the south and didn't come with her this time. Hearing that the doctor said that it was a boy, the old lady was very happy when she heard it.

The second lady pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the old lady's words, but she was pouting in her heart. It's obviously the old lady's meaning, and it seems that she is pushing it out. She is a smart person, and she understands the meaning of the old lady's desire to let the eldest lady be in charge. Anyway, she couldn't catch it, so she simply took the initiative to bring it up generously, so that she could still appear open-minded and sensible. Although she can figure it out, she is a little uncomfortable in her heart. After managing the home for so many years, he was suddenly controlled, and there was a feeling that people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Retiring from the old lady's side, she went straight to the eldest lady's Ning Anju. Anyway, sooner or later, it's better to do your best to make the eldest lady feel uncomfortable. Sister Xuan'er's affairs still depend on the eldest master, and the second wife must have an attitude first, otherwise she is afraid that the eldest lady will interfere with it.

The second wife only has this son and a daughter, and now that her daughter-in-law is pregnant, she is even more anxious about her daughter.
