Saying that, Jia Cong casually popularized some backyard common sense to Niu Jicheng, Niu Jicheng was stunned and thought about it again. After a long www.biquge.info of pen ~ fun ~ pavilion, he asked, "Mr. Jia, is there a way to keep them from making trouble?" ”

Jia Cong, who was at a loss, swallowed a mouthful of buns, otherwise he would have to spray him with a face of filling. "Trouble? Do you think they're messing around? Fight to the death, brother! Jia Cong twitched the corners of his mouth and glanced at him obliquely, "If your mother had lost back then, how could you have such a leisurely life today, and you have to pinch everything in the hands of others." ”

Niu Jicheng said: "There should be rules in the house, and it doesn't matter if it's my aunt who is the housekeeper." ”

Jia Cong said: "You are leading the troops now, right?" Is it better to have food, grass, and ordnance in the hands of others? ”

Niu Jicheng's eyes moved, and after a while, he said: "It's just a matter of the inner house, where can it be compared with the army." ”

"As important as the army is to the general, the authority of the inner house is as important to the woman." Jia Cong said, "General Niu, think about it. You are a general, and it is your career to lead troops to war, and you only think about this matter every day. What does the inner house woman think about every day? ”

Niu Jicheng said: "Aren't they embroidering and appreciating flowers all day long? ”

"That's boring." Jia Cong said, "People are looking forward to having a little power in their hands to play, and women are the same. ”

Niu Jicheng frowned. After a long time, he said, "Is it the same in your house?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Our house is different. It looks like there is no separation, but it is really separated. There is not much money in the public account, and there is a bookkeeper outside, and a widowed sister-in-law with a second room in the house. Since the money is small, and she pointed to us brother-in-law to help her son, she naturally won't treat us badly. The rest of the brothers had their own estates, and they were all richer than they had in the public account. Therefore, no one cares about the little power in the hands of the widowed sister-in-law. Nai glanced at him, "Just like you and Wei Ruolan, each leading their own troops, when they have nothing to do, they practice together, and no one participates in the affairs of anyone's camp." ”

Niu Jicheng Daqi: "How can this be! ”

Jia Cong said lazily: "The money in the original public account made my paralyzed second aunt greedy. She didn't have the ability to manage her subordinates, and her subordinates greedily used her money to go out to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and help the losers in our house. After my Lao Tzu found out, although he recovered some of them, he stupidly repaid the debts of the treasury. How can you have good luck in the house? You still haven't paid back the money you owe to the national treasury, so you don't have to pay it back. ”

Niu Jicheng's face darkened, and he said after a while: "The family in our house also let Fang Xiong's traitor rob it a few years ago, but your house is good." ”

Jia Cong shrugged his shoulders and said, "What is he here to rob?" The treasury in our house is long empty! The treasury of Ning Guofu was also empty. Jia Zhen and the two of them tried their best to defeat their families, and they were robbed several times. Niu Jicheng was skeptical. Jia Cong continued, "Over the years, we have made a lot of money. But they all earn their own money, and no one pays the public. Such a small amount of money in the public account, even if it is all given to the widowed sister-in-law, is nothing. ”

Niu Jicheng said: "You all only care about your private house and don't care about your family, don't you mess around?" ”

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Even the root of the fight is gone, how can you mess up?" Everyone has their own ability. It's just that the old lady is not happy—now that she is gone, she can be aggrieved when she is still there. When her children and grandchildren earn money, they are willing to honor her things, but they don't give her rights. Although no one dared to mess with her, no one listened to her, and she was raised for nothing like an idler. ”

Niu Jicheng said: "The old lady should have teased Sun well. ”

Jia Cong smirked twice: "Why don't you say this to the first emperor?" ”

Niu Jicheng choked. For a while, his heart was nameless, and he lowered his head and gnawed on the buns vigorously, and gnawed three in a row. Suddenly, he said: "Wouldn't it be better to choose a woman who is fair and good at appeasing the upper and lower levels, and the rest just rest at ease?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Do you know how tired the housekeeper is? If there is no good, who will bother with that effort? Besides, there has never been such a thing as justice. For example, when the emperor was still there, he was rewarded with two excellent snow coats, and at that time, our family was still the old lady who had the final say, and chose the best one and gave it to Brother Baoyu. Because I was young and my reputation was gone, she thought about it again and again, and gave me the rest. She didn't think that this thing should be given to the second brother Lian first. He is the eldest grandson, don't say it; Jia Baoyu and I are still children, and the second brother Lian is already on an errand in the imperial court. Nai sighed, "There is no one who is not partial." ”

Niu Jicheng said: "In this case, wouldn't it be good for Mr. Jia to transfer his own to Lord Jia?" ”

Jia Cong sneered: "Is my brother missing such a dress? What do you mean by me passing it on to him? He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I asked Brother Baoyu to give up my clothes to my sisters with me." Because there are four sisters in the family, two pieces are not enough, so I went out to get two pieces. This is what I can get, how can ordinary people have this ability? At that time, Zhongming waited for Xue Pan, and Xue Hou Ye wanted to get one for her sister-in-law, but she didn't get one. You see, even if the head wants to be fair, many of the top things are not enough at all, so how can they be fair? ”

Niu Jicheng thought about it and sighed: "Isn't it incomprehensible? ”

Jia Cong said: "Yes! Separated, independent. Niu Jicheng shook his head and nibbled on another bun.

After eating the buns, the two parted ways.

Niu Jicheng returned home and went to see his mother again. Although Mrs. Niu Da was stumbling, she was sitting on the kang at this time, and a small kang table was set up in front of her to look at the account book. Seeing him coming, he smiled and said, "Why are you here again?" It's easy to take a break, and I don't go out for a walk or meet friends. Niu Jicheng asked his mother for peace and asked how he was injured. Mrs. Niu only said that it was fine.

Niu Jicheng looked at her injuries once, and said casually: "Mother, I just happened to meet Jia Cong from Rongguo Mansion. ”

Mrs. Niu was slightly surprised: "Met him?" Nai pondered for a moment, "What do you think of him?" Can I fall in love? ”

"People are really funny." Niu Ji became enlightened.

Mrs. Niu said: "This person is the prince's confidant and strategist, and you are a military general." The more important generals under the command of the prince, the only one who is good friends with him is Wei Ruolan; Wei Ruolan was recognized by him when he was peeing. If the two of you make friends like this, I'm afraid the prince will be too worried. ”

Niu Jicheng smiled: "Mother is too worried. The prince's heart is not so small. ”

Mrs. Niu said: "You are still young, don't just look at the present." Even though the prince is broad-minded, how old is he? I don't know that the one down there has a big heart and a small heart. ”

Niu Jicheng opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, he froze for a long time, and had to say: "My son knows." Horizontal and vertical are not familiar. Mrs. Niu nodded. Niu Jicheng said again, "What is the reason why my mother said that the backyard of Rongguo Mansion will be chaotic sooner or later?" ”

Mrs. Niu couldn't help but sit upright, and said with a slight smile between her eyebrows: "There are no rules in that house." Although Rong Guogong went south with his son, he took away the eldest wife and the daughter-in-law of the long house. Now the widow who is presiding over it is the widow of the second room! Who has ever seen a widow in charge? The second grandmother in the second room is making friends outside every day, and now she is going to run a girls' school; That Jia Huan is a princess again. Let me ask, what did the widow use to restrain her two younger daughters-in-law? ”

Niu Jicheng was puzzled: "What does that widow do to restrain her brother and daughter-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Niu looked at him and said, "Your barracks must be led by a general, and someone in the family must have the final say, otherwise there will be chaos." ”

Niu Jicheng said: "I heard Jia Cong say that their house is really separated. ”

Mrs. Niu was shocked: "What? Rongguofu is divided? When was it done? Niu Jicheng then roughly said what Jia Cong said. His mother nodded and said slowly, "I said." No matter what the matter of the family, it is not the turn of a widow, and the mother's family is still a petty official. Her brother and daughter-in-law are not as strong as her. ”

Niu Jicheng said: "Mother, since I beat my grandfather and his old man to return to the west, our house is not the town of the country." As the saying goes, the tree has big branches, isn't it ......"

His mother said categorically: "No! Niu Jicheng asked with his eyes, and Mrs. Niu coughed and said, "We can't compare to Rongguo Mansion." Since beating Fang Xiong's thief, he has plundered it, and his family is gone. Nowadays, only a few rooms can work together to make a difference. When Mrs. Niu saw that her son was still ignorant, she had to order everyone to go out.

The maids and ladies came out one after another, and Mrs. Niu said in a low voice, "Now everyone outside says that you and Brother Ye in the third room are two cows." Niu Jicheng nodded. Mrs. Niu continued, "He is older than you, and you are in front of you when it comes to Erniu." Besides, when the two of you go out, is he in charge and you are in charge? ”

Niu Jicheng took a breath. Sanfang's cousin Niu Jiye is really six years older than him, but the two brothers are in charge of their own outside. Niu Jiye's ability is not low; Because the brothers are used to having the final say at home, they are still the same outside. And the family has the final say, mostly because of their own favor - to put it bluntly, it is the mother who is used to herself. Jia Cong is right. If it weren't for my mother, where would I be living a comfortable life today? The advantage of being together as a family is that you can work in one place; And the most beneficial is the most powerful room, but the third room has to suffer some small losses. If the family is divided like the Rongguo Mansion, the three rooms will not be weak after they stand on their own, and the cousins will become relatives.

He sat on the edge of the kang and thought about the past and the future; Mrs. Niu nodded secretly, and gently opened the account book to take a look.

After two quarters of an hour, Niu Jicheng figured it out, stood up and bowed to his mother: "Thank you mother for your hard work." ”

Mrs. Niu stroked his head and said, "I only have you and your brother's two sons, and I will only be for you two in my life." Your daughter-in-law is well married, very sensible, and able to take care of the overall situation; Therefore I did not care about her. The old people are confused. Since her mother's family had never taught her, I often took her with me to discipline her. To err is human. She has suffered and changed, so why should she put people to death? Your brother doesn't have much of a job; It's okay to take care of some family affairs, but if you want to get a foothold in the future, you can't. In the future, I will be gone with you, and I still expect you to help him. ”

Niu Jicheng nodded: "My son understands." He sighed, "I'm not as sensible as Muhammad." ”

Mrs. Niu said: "After all, it is a girl taught by the county king's mansion, not the Jiang family's broken household." That day, I set this family for your eldest brother and only looked at her grandfather's face, who thought she would be narrow-minded. Later, when you discussed marriage, I thought that I could not pick the best one; I don't want your father-in-law to take a fancy to you. Cheng'er, your daughter-in-law is really rare, don't treat her slowly. You remember. Those concubines are just cats and dogs, and they have nothing to do with them to play with them; Muhammad alone is the reliable man of your court. Even if she didn't raise the child herself, all the boys raised by other women had to sit in front of her before they could become successful. "Cats and dogs don't want to come near and take my grandchildren." ”

Niu Jicheng couldn't help but move in his heart: his mother's meaning, I am afraid that the concubines in the future will have to go to the mother and keep the son; Thinking of a few concubines who looked forward to their sons day and night, it seemed a little unbearable. Mrs. Niu looked at him and coughed. Niu Jicheng closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "My son understands!" Mrs. Niu was satisfied.

For a while, Niu Jicheng accompanied his mother back to the yard after dinner, and looked at his young son. Look at his big black eyes following the rattle of the nurse, and his heart is ironed.

That night, Niu Jicheng and Mu Shi walked to Wushan*, and whispered behind her ear: "In this courtyard, I will feel at ease with you." Muhammad wondered: How could he say such a thing?

The next day, Niu Jicheng hurried back to the camp, and when he was leaving, he said some words of entrustment to Mu Shi, and took her hand and said: "I am fortunate to have this beautiful woman for three lives." Muhammad couldn't help but blush.

When he was gone, Mu thought about her husband's words and deeds, and felt something strange. Last time in Jiyue Garden, Jia Cong from Rongguo Mansion said, "I only tried to tell him why you didn't have your first child." She thought that this matter should naturally be said by herself and Cheng Erye. But this time, she hesitated and didn't speak. Could it be that Jia Cong has other intentions and wants him to tell Cheng Er Ye himself? If you know, how can you be so calm? If you don't know, some of the things that have been said from last night to today are really strange. Tossing and turning inside, fidgeting.

After thinking about it again and again, Mu called a reliable daughter-in-law to come in and ordered her to go to Rongguo Mansion: "Inquire if Bao Er's grandmother is in the mansion?" When I went back to her garden, I saw that her flowers were better than mine, and I had the heart to ask her for advice. And the girl Chen who traveled with me, I like it tightly, and I want to see it when I have time. The daughter-in-law agreed.

After a while, the daughter-in-law came back and said, "Bao Er's grandmother and Miss Chen have both gone out." I have left a message. Mu nodded and ordered her to be rewarded with two hundred dollars. The daughter-in-law was overjoyed, and came out to say to others, "Our second grandmother is not rare in anything, but she likes to play with some flowers and plants." I only went out today to spread the word of raising flowers, and I got a reward. ”

The next morning, Rongguofu sent a daughter-in-law to the door of Zhenguofu. Mrs. Niu listened to the order to ask what the reason was, and Menzi told her people: "It is said that it is the companion room of Bao Er's grandmother in Nafu, and she speaks well and understands." Our second grandmother was worried about Bao Er's recipe for raising flowers, and yesterday she asked someone to inquire, but unfortunately Bao Er's grandmother was not at home yesterday. When I went back, I heard the next person reply, and I came to ask our second grandmother if she could be idle today? If you have time, you can go to their house and sit down, and tell each other some recipes for raising flowers. It is unknown whether our second grandmother's recipe is better. ”

Mrs. Niu said with a smile: "Their second grandmother is a clever person. Her man is the leader of the literary world, and it is also a good thing for the second family to study some grass and flowers with her. So he left it alone.

At that end, Mu Shi packed up the clothes and jewelry of the meeting, and led a few maids and women out to Rongguo Mansion.
