Lin Ruhai knew that Jia Min was not pregnant, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly said to Jia Min in the tent at night: "Mu Lin's wife, who had a difficult birth before February and almost died, listened to Mu Lin, her face was as white as paper, and now she is still lying in bed and can't get up." I think that you are only sixteen years old now, and you are born thin, and you are not in a hurry about the child's affairs, so wait a little longer. ”

Jia Min pillowed on her husband's chest and sighed when she heard the words. For more than a year, she often thinks of the words in the book, especially about Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. She also took it too seriously before, after all, Lin Hai and Jia Min, who are alive now, are no longer people in the book, and this is also a real world. But after more than a year of getting along with husband and wife, she faintly felt something.

Lin Ruhai patted his wife's back and said softly, "What's wrong?" If there's anything you're embarrassed about, just tell me. Thinking of what he had just said, he had some understanding of the battle in the mansion, and asked softly: "But is it difficult for your wife to do it for the sake of the child?" ”

Jia Min smiled: "No, but it's only been more than a year, no matter how anxious you are, you won't be in a hurry in this year or two." ”

"Don't worry, if the lord and wife want to give me a concubine, I will definitely not agree." Lin Ruhai assured.

Jia Min said: "I didn't worry about it, if you dare to cheat, I will castrate you directly, and see what kind of merry life you have!" ”

"That's ruthless!" Lin Ruhai laughed, turned over and pressed his wife, and pretended to be aggrieved: "Aren't you distressed?" ”

Jia Min raised his willow eyebrows lightly, "The left and right have also been played bad by others, what do I have to feel sorry for." ”

"Well, it's only for you to play, and others don't give it." After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he lowered his head and sealed his wife's red lips.

The candles are flickering, the bed tent is slightly shaking, and the cigarette smoke is curling on the bronze stove. Accompanied by a room of shallow chanting and singing.

Compared with the love of young couples, in the main courtyard, Lin Hou and Mrs. Lin are much more indifferent. Because of the warmth in the room, Lin Hou leaned on the couch in addition to his coat, closed his eyes slightly, put his feet in a wooden basin, and a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old stretched out two soft little hands and pressed his feet.

Mrs. Lin twisted her hand to read. Sitting upright on the kang, there is a Buddhist scripture on the table in front of him, and he recites it silently with his eyes closed.

"Alright." The water temperature became cold, Lin Hou opened his eyes, sat up straight, and let the girl dry her feet.

Mrs. Lin also opened her eyes and said, "Let's all go down." ”

The bed has been made, Tang Pozi has already warmed the quilt hot, Lin Hou has been very busy recently, and the pressure is also quite high. Because the competition between the princes in the court and the central government is getting more and more serious, the saints don't care much, so that they are very embarrassed by the courtiers. I don't want to stand in line early, and I can't offend the prince too much. It's hard to grasp the balance of this.

"Master, Ruhai has been married for more than a year, and her daughter-in-law has not moved, I wonder if I should put two people in Ruhai's house?" Mrs. Lin thought about it all night. In the end, I decided to discuss it with my husband.

Lin Hou was also anxious, but not as urgent as Mrs. Lin, he was already about to lie down. Hearing this, he sat up again, frowned and thought carefully, and shook his head in denial: "Wait a minute, a family like ours should have no children for thirty and then give his son a concubine." But our heirs are blessed, and if we are earlier, our in-laws can be justified. However, it can't be too early, and it will have to be said in three years. Besides, I plan to let Ruhai end up tomorrow, he should be studying hard now, and he can't involve energy. ”

"That's it, you choose a few good children first, put them around and train them, if the year after tomorrow, the daughter-in-law hasn't moved, just tell your mother-in-law and let the two of them go. It's not an aunt, just a roommate. ”

The husband had made a decision, and Mrs. Lin couldn't refute it, so she nodded and said, "The master still thinks about it thoroughly, so I will do what the master says." ”

At that time, in the past year, Mrs. Lin had already selected a few girls to put by her side, and she chose two good ones and put them in the room for her son. Whose son-in-law doesn't have two intercourse and an aunt, he can't wronged his son. In other words, whether Jia Minsheng gave birth to a son or not, Mrs. Lin already planned to give her son a little wife.

In Songfeng Courtyard, after the love, Jia Min was already a little drowsy, she was held in Lin Ruhai's arms, as if she was being held by a big stove, which was exceptionally warm and comfortable. In a haze, remembering what she wanted to say to her husband, she said vaguely: "Husband, you have to be mentally prepared, I think a large part of the reason why the Lin family is not rich in heirs is because of the men of the Lin family, even if the two of us have children, it will not be too early." ”

Lin Ruhai was already about to fall asleep, he was stunned when he heard the words, and when he was about to ask again, he saw that his wife had closed her eyes and was asleep, and he couldn't bear to wake her up again, so he reached out to fold the quilt for the two of them, hugged her tighter, and then fell asleep together.

The next morning, at breakfast, he suddenly remembered what he had said before going to bed last night, and asked, "How did you come to your conclusions yesterday?" ”

Jia Min looked at the room, only the two of them, and lowered his voice: "The Lin family has been passed down for several generations, and there is not a single clansman in the five suits today, and the clan elders who came to the temple are just some cousins. Do you think, these generations of single transmission, it is not possible that the wives married by each generation of the Lin family are not easy to give birth to, right? or they are all poisonous women, so the heirs of the Lin family have withered so far. Thinking about it, the reason for this is most likely to be the man of the Lin family. At this point, she glanced up at her husband.

Lin Ruhai was not too sad, but smiled lightly and comforted his wife: "In my previous life, my medical skills were developed, but I still couldn't cure me." In this life, it is a blessing to have a son or a daughter, and there is nothing to complain about. It's just ......" he reached out to hold his wife's hand, "whether in the past life or in this life, the requirements for women are always harsh, and it is my own problem, and it is you who are to blame." ”

Jia Min smiled and held her husband's hand, "People have two skins, love to say whatever you want, I only live my own life." I remember when I was a child, the old people often said that children are debts in the previous life, and if we don't have children, we must have been a great good person in our previous life, and no one will collect debts from us in this life, isn't it very good? ”

"Haha, that's right." Lin Ruhai thought of a classmate in his previous life who talked about their lack of children, and his wife replied like this. also added, "Like you, one stream today, one stream tomorrow, it must be that you don't know how many bad things you have done in your previous life, so I'm looking for you now." His classmate's face, when he thinks about it now, still makes him feel happy.

"Grandma......" Cuizhu hurriedly entered the house, and saw the uncle holding the grandmother's hand at a glance. Affectionately said something. Her face flushed, and she immediately lowered her head and retreated.

Jia Min smiled and asked, "What's the matter?" "Cuizhu and the others are very eye-catching, and they will never break in when they are alone. If you are in such a hurry today, something must have happened.

"Grandma, Bai Lan just coaxed the little girl out, and she wants to die." Cuizhu was really frightened, thinking that Bai Lan felt that she had no face to see people, so she didn't want to live. Instead of coercing grandma with their own lives, as they thought before.

Jia Min was also shocked when he heard it at first. Hurriedly asked. When she understood what had happened, she turned cold, did this woman think she was a fool, she could be deceived by her bitter tricks.

In the past few days, I am afraid that she will appear, and there are people watching her all the time. It was she who took the little girl away, and it would definitely not be long before she came back. Besides, looking for death, do you want to hang yourself for Mao? Pull the person away and hit it directly on the corner of the table. Didn't you die faster? I just climbed into the chair, and the little girl saw it and screamed, who are you coaxing?

Wait, this woman must not coax her. That's to coax her husband? Jia Min raised his eyes and looked at Lin Ruhai's face, and sure enough, this person's heart softened again, and his face was a little unbearable. This Bai Lan really touched her husband's temper quite thoroughly. No wonder dare to climb into bed.

"Don't you think she's so pitiful and worthy of sympathy?" Jia Min asked lightly.

Lin Ruhai immediately straightened up and said very seriously: "No." Definitely not, she has nothing to be pitied. I have that sympathy, so I might as well sympathize with the people who have suffered this year. ”

"If you know, it's good." Jia Min glanced at him, "In our house, there is no shortage of clothes, and there is no shortage of food, although she is a girl, she also has someone to serve, not to mention the girls of the common people's families, who are the daughters of ordinary gentry, and they are not as good as them." That's it, it's not enough, how can the people who make a fuss and make a real suffering in the world survive. ”

"She wants to die, and I will fulfill her." Jia Min was really patient with Bai Lan, "Tie people up, close their mouths, let people come to me, and send her away today." ”

"Yes." Cuizhu answered, turned around and went out.

Because of the mention of the victims just now, Jia Min said: "When the steward of Tianzhuang came to deliver the rent the son the day before, he said that there are many displaced people from Shandong in the suburbs of Beijing, and they are the ones who have suffered today. ”

Lin Ruhai's face was very ugly, and he slapped the table hatefully, "I also know, I heard Mu Lin say that Duzhong has begun to drive out the displaced people, and they are not allowed to enter the city." ”

"I remember that Shandong was hit by a drought this year, but I haven't heard of it so severe? Didn't the saints send food and medicine for disaster relief? How can there still be displaced people? Jia Min remembered that during the drought in Shandong today, Lin Ruhai and the others had been distinguishing for several days for this. From how to defend against the disaster, to how to save yourself, to post-disaster rescue, they have all been discussed one by one. even wrote their opinions into a note and asked Mu Lin to take it home to his father.

Because during that time, Lin Ruhai had to read a lot of books when he went home every day, and he had to recall with her what he did when he encountered drought in modern society. Yes, she was more impressed.

Lin Ruhai sneered: "Send Wanchun to this scumbag, what good will the people get." "Wan Chunlai, originally used by Emperor Qixiang to practice his son, but was recruited by the second prince under his command, and now he is already aiming at the position of the head of the household, his daughter married into the second prince's mansion as a side concubine, and his son Wan Shilin is also rising, and a group of gentlemen gather around him, and he can't get along with Yang Ze every day.

Jia Min said: "Yes, people's hearts are more terrible than natural disasters. ”

"It snowed all night yesterday, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death with knives." Lin Ruhai put down his chopsticks, his expression was very heavy.

Jia Min said: "I have already asked people to go to the soup porridge, and the red dates and old ginger are put in the porridge, which can also drive away the cold while wrapping the abdomen." "That's all she can do, as for taking out all the food at home for disaster relief, asking the doctor to go to a free clinic, etc., even if she has the ability to do it, she can't do it. In the feudal dynasty, there is only one person who can give grace to the people, then today's saints, others want to buy people's hearts by natural disasters, the emperor will be the first to be unhappy, and he will praise in person, and he will definitely clean you up later.

Especially for the eunuchs, it is necessary to pay more attention. The emperor may be able to tolerate the sons of the princes to bully men and women, but he can't tolerate them to buy people's hearts and earn themselves fame. Especially now in an extraordinary period, several princes are fighting for the throne, at this time they are particularly in the limelight, competing with the royal family, and they don't know how to die.

"Soup kitchen?" Mrs. Lin sat up straight and asked her daughter very seriously, "Did your sister-in-law let you?" ”

Lin Yun said: "Hmm. I listened to my sister-in-law tell Lin Fu yesterday. ”

"Nonsense, Lily is going to ask grandma to come over." Mrs. Lin sank her face, scolded, and called to invite Jia Min over.

Lin Yun was very puzzled, "Madam, sister-in-law is doing a good deed?" "The court doesn't care about those victims, can't they take care of it? And without a penny from the court, it can appease the people, what's wrong?

"Stupid!" Mrs. Lin scolded her daughter, seeing that her face was full of grievances. He closed his eyes and explained, "There are things that only a saint can do, just like this people's heart, you have to always be right to the saint." If there is a porridge field in the DPRK and China, we will be fine. If the saints didn't say it, but we were very promising, good things would turn into bad things! "They are officials, they have to think about it before they do things, and they want to be businessmen. Even if it is an imperial merchant or an ordinary squire, there are not so many taboos. Gain's identity is different, and his handling of things naturally cannot be the same.

Lin Yun still couldn't quite understand, and Mrs. Lin sighed. "You will become a great steward of the house, and you will have compassion and be a great good man. Think of the big housekeeper in front of everything, but it's you, the master, who is dispensable. Are you happy? ”

Lin Yun suddenly realized, no, she will definitely not be happy! Well, the emperor probably won't be happy either.

When Jia Min came in, Mrs. Lin asked with a cold face, "I heard that you asked people to go to soup kitchen?" ”

Jia Min smiled lightly and bowed slightly: "It's not a daughter-in-law, I went to Cheng'en Temple to offer incense, and I heard the host say that if it is cold today, there are many people who can't eat their stomachs, and there are not a few who are sick and die because of this." In their temple, although they try to give porridge as much as possible, their ability to resist is limited, and many people can't take care of it. When I heard this, I sealed the silver and sent rice grain, which was only the money for sesame oil. She had already prepared Mrs. Lin to ask, and she didn't use her own family's hands to do this, but sent it to the temple, and let the monk earn this reputation.

Mrs. Lin eased her expression and nodded: "It's okay, there will be a will in the court in the next few days, and it's not too late for us to do it." ”

"Well, my daughter-in-law knows, I've already sent it all." Jia Min said with a smile.

"You just have to know it in your heart, okay, you can get busy." Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "It's cold these days, and there is a lot of charcoal used in each house, so let them all pay attention to it and don't catch fire." ”

"Hmm." Jia Min answered, and then led people to retreat.

Not only do we need to prevent fire, but we now use charcoal basins for heating, and we also have to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. She has already ordered her to go down these days, and to use a charcoal basin at night, and to open a crack in the window, and not to cover the house tightly, so that the slightest wind will not penetrate. The night patrol group was divided into two groups, and they were divided into night patrols, so as to save them from eating alcohol and gambling at night.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was gone, Mrs. Lin glanced at her daughter, "You, there is still a lot of room to learn." ”

Lin Yun leaned over and coquettishly said, "Madam." ”

"You, how can I rest assured that I go out like this?" Mrs. Lin poked her daughter's finger. Lin Yun is fourteen years old, and she has been showing her people, and she has also discussed it with Lin Hou. What she means is that she will find the second son of a prince's family for her daughter, and she will not need to be a housekeeper when she marries, and the pressure of having children will not grow up. The son-in-law's character is better, and relying on the power of the family, even if he does not go from the imperial examination, he can have a good future.

Lin Hou is not quite the same as she thinks, he wants to choose a scholarly home for his daughter, even if the foundation of the family is thin, he is not afraid, as long as Lao Tzu is strong and his son is reliable, his daughter will be able to live well in the second half of her life.

The husband and wife do not have much of a unified opinion, but they have one thing that is very consistent, that is, they are both the sons of officials in the DPRK and China. Each drew up a list and planned to examine it carefully.

Lin Yun was stunned, has she already chosen a husband for her? She blushed, twisted her body and said, "I won't marry, I will accompany my lord and wife for the rest of my life." ”

"Silly girl, there is a girl who is too old to marry." Mrs. Lin smiled, "If you say so now, I really want to be able to marry, and in a few years, you should blame me." ”

Lin Yun tugged at Mrs. Lin's sleeve and said, "No." ”

"Okay, okay, no." Mrs. Lin hugged her daughter in her arms, "The plum blossoms in our home are blooming, why don't you invite your little sister to come over and enjoy the plum blossoms?" ”

Lin Yun has made several girlfriends and often comes and goes, and Mrs. Lin is also very supportive, and often holds banquets in Youzhong and invites people over.

"Sister Miaoxiang is not in good health these days, let's go in a few days." Lin Yun has a good relationship with Fang Miaoxiang, even better than the Shang sisters. Entertaining girlfriends at home, Fang Miaoxiang will be called every time, and he will specially and solemnly introduce them to his friends. It's the sisters of the Shang family, because they have filial piety, they don't come every time.

Mrs. Lin said, "Miaoxiang is sick? ”

"Well, I have a cold, and it's been a few days, so I should be getting better." Lin Yun said.

Mrs. Lin said: "Why didn't the Yun family sister say anything, but did you invite a doctor?" "I also called the girl, take some tonics, snacks and other things, and send them over.

Lin Yun said with a smile: "The doctor sent by my sister-in-law to ask for the medicine I caught has to be asked every day." It's just that my sister-in-law stopped me and didn't tell me to go more, saying that she was afraid of getting sick. She was not very satisfied with Jia Min's decision, her best friend was sick, couldn't she go to see it often? It's so easy to get sick.

Mrs. Lin glanced at her daughter: "Your sister-in-law is for your good." "It is said that women are not allowed to visit the sick, firstly, they are afraid that they will be too sick, and secondly, they are afraid that they will often be disturbed in the past, and Fang Miaoxiang will not rest well.

"You often visit, she has to get up to freshen up and change clothes, and talk to you in good spirits, how can you get well." Mrs. Lin nodded to her daughter. Why can't she, a girl, always get along with her sister-in-law?

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment, she really didn't expect this, and couldn't help but sneer: "Madam, I thought wrong." "No, the Lin family is a benefactor to the Fang family. Now relying on the Lin family, she went to see Fang Miaoxiang, and the reception she received must be very high-end, and it was impossible to see her like this with her sideburns and clothes.

"Oh, you." Mrs. Lin sighed, "Forget what I said before." What do you have to do with your sister-in-law? In the future, when you get married, you will have to point to your brother and sister-in-law. ”

Lin Yun pursed his lips and did not speak. She just doesn't like Jia Min, she treats her brother every day, but she can't give birth to children, and she still looks to the Jia family every day. I went back to my parents' house countless times a year, and every time I went back, I had to bring a lot of things, and I took their Lin family's things to honor the Jia family, which was too much. Her mother didn't seem to see it, and she always said that the etiquette was thin, and a few more thickened, which really made her so angry that she vomited blood.

Jia Min naturally knew that Lin Yun was awkward with herself, she was too lazy to pay attention to her, anyway, she would get married in two years, and when she became someone's daughter-in-law, she would naturally know what was going on.

Cuizhu was a little dissatisfied and said, "Grandma, it must be the eldest girl who told his wife." "What's the matter with this big girl, she doesn't like them everywhere, and she often chews her tongue in front of her wife, where she looks like a daughter of the Hou Mansion. Everything is calculated, and their girls always make up for their mother-in-law's things to supplement their mother's family. Phew, Rongguofu is really not down, and he needs a married girl to make up for it. When their girl returned to her parents' house that time, the grandfather and his wife did not give the girl a big bag, how many good things that could not be found in the world, as long as they got it, they would send it to the girl. They are also generous, and always give some to their wives and big girls. Not to mention anything else, for more than a year, the golden silk blood swallows eaten by the eldest girl were all sent by Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Min said: "Okay, if she likes to talk, let her go, and then she can talk for a few years." I estimate that the lord and wife will be engaged to her this year, and they will be able to get married next year. She smiled slightly, "This mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law are always more hostile and less close." When she gets married, she will naturally know why the girls are close to her mother's family. She didn't believe it, after Lin Yun got married, everything would be towards her in-laws, and she wouldn't go home to see her mother. Her parents celebrate their birthdays, and she doesn't give gifts during the holidays.

Hmph, relatives, you only get close when you move around, you don't come to the door for ten or eight years, you only come to the door when you have something, people don't beat you out, and you won't have less white eyes. At that time, even if she Lin Yun is a white-eyed wolf and doesn't think about her father, mother, or brother at all, her husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law will not agree to her doing this. Marrying her back is to make friends with the Lin family, not to make enemies.

"Grandma." Mo Ju came closer and whispered: "I heard the Qingshu of Zhilan Pavilion say that the eldest girl has a crush on the son of Pingnanhou. (To be continued......)
