Let's say that before the New Year, Jia Min was so angry by the letter from his mother's family that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and the whole person was furious. Lin Rui read the letter, but smiled slightly, and persuaded softly: "Mother, how many people in this world can use all kinds of means in order to seek wealth and nobility, and it is normal for my grandfather's family to just want to borrow my cousin to fight." Throughout the ages, how many relatives have made a fortune from this, which makes people yearn for it, and there is really no need to be so angry. ”

Jia Min had a dark face, holding his belly, turning back and forth on the ground, and he was especially angry: "If you want to borrow a relative to make a fortune, you must have that brain, otherwise, the whole family will be unlucky." Look at your grandfather's family, from your eldest uncle to your second uncle, who has this brain. "Nima, if the double Q is not enough, squint honestly, don't force that head, otherwise you will be shot to death sooner or later.

Besides, they didn't want to think that the saint and the queen were a young couple, and their relationship was excellent. The queen gave birth to five more sisters-in-law, and now all of them are in good health, so she sent her daughters in, what are you trying to do? If you don't want to be favored, if you really want to be favored and give birth to the prince, can you kill all the queen's sons and help your son to come to power? Dream on. It's just that it hinders the eyes of the queen and the next emperor by nothing, and everyone will be unlucky together. Jia Min chatted with his son for a long time, and his anger calmed down, "Forget it, I'm already a person who goes out, and I can't take care of my own family, so I have time to take care of others." ”

Lin Rui saw that Jia Min was in a bad mood, so he kept accompanying her carefully, and deliberately said some interesting things outside to make her happy. Jia Min was touched by his son's filial piety, and he listened attentively and smiled happily, and when Lin Ruhai came back in the evening, the family of three ran out of food. Before Lin Rui went out, he found a free time and whispered to his father: "My mother received my grandmother's letter today, and I was a little depressed, and I asked my father to explain more." ”

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have been married for many years, and they can see it at a glance when they enter the house, but their son is not easy to ask. Now when I heard my son say this, I patted my son's shoulder with relief, "I can save it, you can go back and rest quickly." Don't read too much at night, be careful about hurting your eyes. ”

Lin Rui responded with a smile: "Hey, I know." ”

When his son went out and there were only two husbands and wives left in the house, Lin Ruhai took Jia Min's shoulder, put one hand on his stomach and stroked it, and said with emotion: "My son has really grown up." will be considerate of parents. The tone was really full of self-satisfaction.

Jia Min glanced at her husband, "You just know." "Obviously, her son has been very well-behaved since he was a child, and he especially knows how to feel distressed.

Lin Ruhai smiled, rubbed his wife affectionately, and said with satisfaction: "I already knew." "Touch the bulging belly again," the daughter will also be very well-behaved. ”

Jia Min stroked her stomach and smiled very gently. Even if you go through, there are such and such inappropriateness, and you can give birth to two children. is the greatest luck of their husband and wife.

Jia Min, who was appeased by her son and husband in turn, was easily discouraged, but the letter back to Jia's mother was still very unkind. Asked bluntly: What do you want to do when you send a girl into the palace? Competing for the emperor's favor? Giving birth to a prince? There are five princes here. How much attention do others get even if they give birth to a child? Look at how the princes of the first emperor are doing now? What happened to those princes' foreign families? That's not all, if you look at it in five or ten years, who still knows about their family. Don't say anything else. Just look at the favored concubines in the palace of the first emperor, there are a few that have been reused and those that have been reused. Where is it now? I can't figure it out, even if the brothers can't support the court, it's still easy to maintain the status quo, and it is the right way for the family to thrive by teaching the children of the clan. In the end, she said very firmly that she wanted to use her daughter's grace to let her family climb up through nepotism and find help from others, but she didn't care. Tell me in advance, she doesn't agree to this matter, if the family really wants to go her own way, she will go to the queen and brush Yuan Chun down directly, don't say that she doesn't care about the family at that time.

When Jia Mu received the reply, she was still smiling, and when she finished reading the letter, her face was frosty. Mrs. Wang asked hopefully, "Old lady, what did Mrs. Gu say?" "Her Yuanchun, born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, has both good looks and appearances, and should be a mother's life, so how can she bear to marry her daughter to an ordinary person.

Mother Jia accepted the letter and said coldly: "My aunt and grandmother said that a good girl, finding a good family to marry is much better than sending her to the palace." ”

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but put on a straight face, thinking of Mother Jia, and woke up with a smile: "The old lady is not angry, and Mrs. Gu is also distressed about her niece." When she said this, she hated it like something in her heart, if it wasn't for Jia Mu, she could scold directly.

Mother Jia was complained a lot by her daughter's letter, she was not in a good mood, and she didn't bother to look at her daughter-in-law's pretending smiling face, she waved her hand, "I'm also tired, you all go back." ”

Mrs. Xing was secretly happy because of Jia Min's rejection of Mrs. Wang, and happily said goodbye to Jia's mother, and smiled at Mrs. Wang when she came out: "If you don't say it's your aunt, you just feel sorry for your niece, and our aunt's wife is kind-hearted." ”

Mrs. Wang responded with a smile on her face, but secretly she was so angry that her chest hurt, so she forced herself back to her yard, waved her subordinates away, couldn't help it anymore, and swept the tea bowl on the table to the ground with a wave of her hand. The girls who were waiting in the outhouse were silent when they heard the movement inside. Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao knew that Mrs. Wang was back, so they hurriedly came over to serve, and when they went outside the house, they naturally heard the movement in the house, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and they stood honestly under the porch, and they didn't dare to go back to their own house.

In the cold winter, even if they wore a lot of clothes, they stood for a quarter of an hour, and the cold wind also penetrated their clothes, and the two of them were so cold that their faces were blue and their lips were black. Aunt Zhou is okay, Aunt Zhao has been pregnant for more than six months, and she can't help but be a little untenable, and she is also shaky.

Mrs. Wang's maid Cai Liu saw it at a glance, and hurriedly raised her voice slightly: "Why did my aunt come out again, didn't my wife say it, my aunt is heavy, so I don't need to serve anymore." How many rules there are, they are not in a moment, just keep them in the house, and it is only serious to give birth to a brother safely. Then he scolded the little girl, "Don't help your aunt go back quickly, if your aunt has any discomfort, you can be careful of your skin." ”

The little girl who was waiting for Aunt Zhao listened, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Aunt Zhao, "Auntie, I said that we don't need to come, my wife won't blame you, if you don't listen, you have to come, and I will be scolded by my sister." ”

Cai Liu glared at her: "How to speak, are there any rules." Anyway, my aunt is also half a master, give me some respect. Let me know again that you are so unruly, and you will not be exposed. ”

The little girl hung her head, answered again and again, and carefully helped Aunt Zhao to the house.

Mrs. Wang listened to it in the house, slowly let out a sigh of relief, and asked the girl to come in and clean up. But he didn't want to, the curtain was raised, and Jia Zheng came in. She hurriedly got up to greet her, "The master is back." I'm going to freeze it. While serving Jia Zhengkuanyi, he instructed the girl: "Hurry up and bring the boiling tea." ”

Jia Zheng just listened to Cai Liu's words, and felt that Mrs. Wang was worthy of being born in everyone, and she was very virtuous and generous. changed into a homely robe, sat down, and said gently to Mrs. Wang: "Aunts should serve you, and you can't be special just because she is pregnant." When you were more than seven months pregnant, didn't you make rules in front of old ladies, what more did they have? ”

Madame Wang smiled gently. "I can't call all the girls around me. Asking the aunts to come over is just that, who can really instruct them to work. Let's be honest. In the end, I served you for a while, and then used it as a girl, I said that they didn't even have a light on my face. ”

Jia Zheng was said so by Mrs. Wang. I feel more and more that my wife is good. It's just that his wife is good, it doesn't mean that he has to only guard his wife, but he often goes to the main room a few times.

Mrs. Wang was pregnant with Aunt Zhao and her feet. I was half angry, but I couldn't really get the child down. If she said this, not to mention her husband, she would not be able to get over Jia's mother alone. I can only comfort myself in my heart, even if it is a son, what if it is born by an aunt, I can't make waves. Her eldest son has grown up, is good at studying, and is filial, and he is about to say goodbye. The youngest son is surprisingly good-looking, and now he looks very smart, and he will definitely not be worse than the eldest son when he grows up. With such two sons, what is she afraid of. The person who is worried now is her daughter Yuanchun, who wants to send her daughter to the palace very much.

Today, the saint is young, there are few concubines in the palace, the positions of the four concubines are empty, and only the queen has given birth to a child. But the queen is also in her thirties, and she is not fresh for a long time, how can she compare with her daughter who is like flowers and willows. It's not that she praises her daughter, Yuan Chun is both beautiful and talented, and she has a rare appearance, according to what Jia Min said, marrying an ordinary family, she feels wronged by her daughter.

But he can't say this to his husband, he can't study by himself, and he has become a shadow official, but he admires scholars very much, especially his brother-in-law Lin Hai, who was admitted to Tanhua, is even more respectful. If he knew that his sister and brother-in-law did not approve of sending a girl to the palace, he would definitely not approve of it either. Originally, Jia's mother was still a little loose, but Jia Min said that this road would not work. I couldn't say it, so I had to take my mother's way. Now that her brother has only been promoted to the envoy of the Jingying Festival, it can be regarded as Jane in the emperor's heart, and it should be similar to entrust his daughter's affairs to him.

She made up her mind here, and she didn't discuss it with her husband, but only thought about discussing it with her sister-in-law and brother when she returned home for the New Year. The Wang family currently has no daughters of appropriate age to enter the palace, and her Yuanchun is the only one who meets the conditions, and her brother and sister-in-law will definitely agree.

Mrs. Wang has a plan here, but Jia's mother was a little tossed and turned by what her daughter said, and she didn't sleep for a long time, and she kept weighing in her heart. For a while, I thought it was a good thing to send my granddaughter to the palace, and for a while, I thought that what my daughter said was reasonable. In a state of confusion, he called his two sons to discuss together.

Jia Yu agreed to send his niece into the palace, just now Mrs. Xing went back, and happily learned from him that when Jia Min disagreed with this matter, he was also scolded by him. If his niece can enter the palace and be favored, he, the uncle, will definitely be able to borrow light. Therefore, as soon as Jia's mother said it, he strongly agreed, and also said that his sister was an inner house woman with long hair and short knowledge. If Jia Min knew this, he would be able to directly paste him with a spicy crayfish.

Jia Zheng was a little hesitant, he was more inclined to listen to his brother-in-law's opinion than his eldest brother.

Jia Yu said impatiently: "The sage now has only five sons, and the harem is empty. Our Yuanchun is already among the picks, what do you have to be embarrassed about. Could it be that Yuanchun's niece entered the palace, and she couldn't compare to the husband you chose for her. "It's not nice to say, my younger brother was originally a five-grade official, and he didn't inherit the title, it was very difficult for Yuan Chun to marry a high-ranking family, since he couldn't grab a better golden beetle son-in-law, why not send it to the palace and give it a go? If you really succeed, it will be good for the family.

As soon as Jia Zheng was told by his brother, he had no idea, so he could only reluctantly agree. The two sons reached an agreement, and Jia's mother had nothing to say, but said: "I'm old, let you go." ”

The Jia family reached the same idea, and each secretly went to find someone to trust the relationship. Mrs. Wang also took advantage of the New Year to go home and discuss the matter with her brother Wang Ziteng, who almost didn't think much about it, so he agreed to the idea, and also promised his sister to help find a relationship. The way to go is gone, the relationship that should be asked for is also entrusted, and even the chamberlain in the palace has asked someone to give gifts, just waiting for the saint to be fully dressed and after the canonization ceremony of the queen and the crown prince. You can play a fold and choose a lady to enter the palace.

These people really thought about it well, but they didn't expect to be ruined by Jia Min and Lin Ruhai.

Jia Min's letter back to Beijing was not only for Jia's mother, but also for the queen. In the letter, he clearly stated his mother's plan, and apologized to the queen earnestly. It is also a very tactful hint that Jia Fu is not the only one who has this idea now. I'm afraid that everyone with a school-age daughter thinks so. But the five princes are still young, even if the harem can be entered, it is best to wait until the princes are older. Now the concubines in the palace are not of high origin. Giving birth to a child does not threaten the status of the crown prince. But if it is a lady who is selected, it is different, many of his fathers and ancestors are in important positions. If you give birth to a child, it is a problem for your henchmen.

The queen read Jia Min's letter, even if she was so unhappy just now. It's all gone, replaced by moving. Waiting for Xiao Chen to come over, he pulled his son and said, "I didn't make your Aunt Lin a friend in vain." ”

Xiao Chen had already known from Lin Rui's letter, and he smiled at the queen and said, "Queen Mother, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin have always been upright and never disdainful of playing small. ”

The queen sighed: "No, that's why your father has always trusted your Uncle Lin so much." ”

Xiao Jin really trusts Lin Ruhai very much, because his junior brother, whether good or bad, told him all, even this time Jia Min was angry with the Jia family, and he was also very proud to show Xiao Jin, and the meaning in and out of the words was, you see how transparent my wife is.

Xiao Jin had a headache, and his junior brother discussed the problem of the little wife with him very seriously, "Do you know how much it costs to raise a little wife?" And because of this little wife, how many corners did her mother's family indirectly dig into you, and how many families did she defeat you? And then no one said that they were bad, the accounts were all on your head, and you carried the black pot. ”

"Don't say you will restrain it, now these officials have not restrained it? Don't make some relatives to offer, it's troublesome! ”

Xiao Jin is very innocent, he doesn't feel at all? didn't say that the harem must be enriched. When his father was there, he fought several big battles in a row, and then there were various famines, and then when he was old, he could not help but forgive the courtiers. In this way, when Xiao Jin came to power, he found that the money in the treasury was really not much. Then, as soon as his father died, the surrounding feudal states were a little ready to move, he had to prepare military expenses, and he had to start building his own mausoleum, and he had to hold several ceremonies one after another, and then there were natural disasters in the past two years, and silver had to be used everywhere, and life was tight, and he really had no spare money to support his little wife. Besides, he has lived a long time, and he thinks it's good, and he doesn't want to get a group of women in and make a mess of the whole harem.

Xiao Jin replied to Lin Ruhai's letter and reprimanded him openly. How can you be so unconfident in your senior brother? Am I a person? I should teach you a lesson, I will remember it for you first, and then I will settle the account when you come back.

Well, Lin Ruhai glanced at the letter when he got it and threw it directly to the back of his head. Back to the capital? For more than ten years, his senior brother would not want him to go back.

After the New Year, it soon entered February, and Lin Ruhai's nerves became nervous, and the more he entered February 12, the more nervous he became. On the contrary, it was Jia Min, who should eat and wake up, raising himself to be white and fat, and his complexion was excellent.

Just when Lin Ruhai was counting the days with his fingers, Jia Min started on the day of February 12. Lin Ruhai was isolated from the delivery room, and Wen Xun rushed to Lin Rui, both of whom turned their backs and circled around the courtyard. Even though it was February in the south of the Yangtze River, it was also cold, but the father and son were only wearing thin cotton clothes, but they were sweating in a hurry, and in the house, every time there was a cry of pain that Jia Min couldn't suppress, the father and son in the courtyard were anxious on their faces, and the steps under their feet turned more urgently.

When the eastern sky, a round of red sun rises, scattered on the red plum in the courtyard, taking advantage of the thin snow, so that the plum blossoms are more colorful, and the spring snow is white. A slightly delicate baby cry came from inside the room. Lin Ruhai was stunned for a moment, then let out a long breath, and stared anxiously at the door of the delivery room. Lin Rui acted like him, but compared to his father, the young man's eyes still contained a hint of panic. The mother is pregnant, and the studious Lin teenager is involved in the knowledge learning of mothers, and the more he knows, the greater the panic in his heart. It turns out that every mother has to sacrifice her life in exchange for the safe birth of her child. There are many people who, during childbirth, fall asleep forever and never wake up again. In such an example, he casually asked, how to make Lin Rui not afraid.

Soon, the door was opened, and the midwife came out with a smile, followed by Mama Yu, holding a big red swaddling baby in her arms.

As soon as the two midwives saw Lin Ruhai, they smiled and said happily, "Congratulations, master, my wife gave birth to a very Peugeot daughter." "These two midwives are still a little apprehensive in their hearts, the Lin family has so few children, the lord must hope that Mrs. will give birth to a son in this birth. If you know it's a daughter, will you be disappointed?

Obviously, they were overthinking. Lin Ruhai asked his wife first: "How is my wife?" ”

"Excellent, the birth went very smoothly, and both mother and daughter are safe."

Lin Ruhai relieved himself and laughed out loud: "That's good, that's good." Come on, reward. "My own girl came over and gave the two midwives a reward, two ingots and five taels of silver, which made the two of them smile and squint their eyes in an instant.

Mama Yu stepped forward with the child in her arms at this time, and said with a smile: "Master, uncle, come and see Miss, beautiful." ”

Lin Ruhai was very curious, what was the daughter of Fairy Tosheng like when she was born? He carefully took his daughter and took a look at the thin quilt, except for two curved willow eyebrows, the rest were no different from normal babies. Well, if there is a difference, that is, the daughter's skin is particularly red, even redder than the son's original. Experienced grandmothers said that if they are red now, they will be whiter in the future. Lin Ruhai confirmed that Mama's words were correct through this obvious example of his son. Therefore, when I saw my daughter who was red, I grinned widely.

Lin Rui was so anxious that he circled around his father, wanting to see his sister very much. But Lin Ruhai kept holding it and didn't mean to give him a look. He couldn't help it, and tugged at his father's sleeve, "Daddy, I want to see my sister too." ”

Lin Ruhai thought of his son at this time, and lowered his hand slightly sideways, Lin Rui hurriedly leaned over to look at it, and said with a little disappointment: "Sister...... Belch...... It's so small. He wanted to say that it was not very good-looking, and he was afraid that his father would be sad, so he temporarily changed his word.

Lin Ruhai glanced at his son, walked into the delivery room, and sneered: "Boy, when you were first born, you were uglier than your sister-in-law. ”

Lin Rui: =Mouth=You must be confused about me, I don't believe it!

Even though he was slightly disappointed, Lin Rui still followed his father's footsteps to enter, but was stopped by Cuizhu and a few people at the door, "Uncle, don't you go in." Don't worry, my wife is fine, you will be able to see you in three days. ”

For Jia Min, there is not so much attention. But once she crossed over, she was also superstitious, especially when it came to her son, so she directly asked Cuizhu and a few people to stop her. Lin Rui tried his best, but he couldn't get in, so he returned to his yard listlessly, and habitually wrote to Xiao Chen, "My sister is born, slightly ugly, and a little disappointed." Still, it's my sister, and I'm still going to hurt her. ”

"It's infuriating that Aunt Cui didn't allow me to go to see my mother, and they said that it was unlucky. Nonsense, my dad can go in, why can't I? Isn't it just because I'm young, bullying people! ”

After Lin Rui wrote a letter to complain to Xiao Chen, he was still unhappy, ate with his head bored, and took people to school with a face. Hey, he wanted to take leave to serve his mother at home, but his family didn't let him, so annoying!

Unlike his depressed son, Lin Ruhai held his little daughter in his arms after seeing his wife well, and the corners of his mouth were grinning to the roots of his ears, and the whole person was stupid with joy. Jia Min was very tired and fell asleep, he didn't let go of his little daughter, he sat on the edge of his wife's bed and smirked, and even his subordinates came to invite him to the yamen, but he yelled away, "I didn't see that my wife gave birth to a girl, and my lord didn't go anywhere, so I asked for leave today!" (To be continued......)
