Chapter 5: A Delicate Balance

Jia Minsheng's brother Mao was sick again, and he had been ill for nearly two months, and the government invited several doctors to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment, but they did not get better. Jia Min, who was anxious, rushed to the doctor, and was introduced to invite a Taoist priest who said that he did not rely on medical skills to eat, but had a deep medical experience, to see Brother Mao.

When Aunt Lin heard the news, she pouted and said: "This medical theory is profound, it may not be good medical skills, maybe it is 'talking on paper'?" Wouldn't it be bad if you were to follow the map? ”

Yang Wan on the side said: "Mrs. Jiang knows that Mrs. Mao is in a hurry to die, besides, her mother's family has a request from the house, how dare she casually recommend someone to come over to see Brother Mao'er?" This man must have two brushes. ”

Thinking of Hua Daiyu's monk-headed monk, she said again: "Although the leper monk who came to the house a while ago is crazy and crazy, it is casual to comment on the eldest girl's words, but he should still have some ability." At that time, because he was standing outside the gate and talking, he could be heard in the back house, so he was invited into the house. After that, the old man and his wife were annoyed that he was going to become a big girl and become a monk, so they drove him away. If you don't drive people away and let him show Brother Mao'er, maybe Brother Mao can be cured. ”

Aunt Lin sneered: "When you think about it, the cucumbers and vegetables are cold, you didn't expect it to be Jia Min?" The front foot drove the person away, and she remembered it with the back foot, so she was busy sending someone to chase after her. Obviously, the porter saw that the leper head went in that direction, and the housekeeper rode a horse to lead people to chase after him, but he chased for most of the hour, and he didn't encounter a fork in the road, but he didn't even see a figure. ”

Sighing, she shook her head and said: "Actually, if you want me to say that the leper monk may have some ability, but it is definitely not in medical skills, otherwise, although the eldest girl's body is a little better than Brother Mao'er, it is also weak, and the monk didn't say to show the eldest girl a pulse, leave a prescription or something, just shouting to turn people into monks, it can be seen that he is not a doctor, so even if he chases people, I am afraid that it will be empty joy."

If you want me to say, Jia Min is also sick and rushed to the doctor, since Brother Mao was born, the famous and unknown doctors don't know how many they have hired. Now I have invited the monks, Taoists, nuns or something to the house, and there is no taboo.

The child has just been born, and it is not a big obstacle to be weak, just take care of it. Even if you have to take medicine, follow the steps and take your time. Don't you hear, 'Sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread.'" ’? This disease can be cured by taking one or two pairs of medicine, but she can't wait to take the medicine at the moment, and she can see the effect in a moment or three; Once you can't see the effect, you immediately think that the doctor is useless, and you are busy changing it, and then go and invite the next one.

Tossing, tossing, in fact, the doctors who went back and forth to see Brother Mao'er said the same, and even the prescriptions were similar. Since this is the case, I will pick one of them out and treat Brother Mao'er all the time, but I don't want her, and continue to toss. If it goes on like this, let's say that Brother Mao'er is sick himself, and even if he is not sick, he will be tossed out of illness by her.

The ancestors of the Lin family, counting from my father upwards, have been in poor health for several generations when they were first born, and they have not slowly recovered since then. There is no urgency to raise the body, and the child has a weak spleen and stomach, and if he drinks medicine all day long and loses his appetite, how can he still have the spirit to eat? The ancients said that 'those who eat grain are born', this does not eat, the qi and blood are naturally insufficient, if you come, if you want to take care of your body, it is difficult. ”

Yang Wan glanced at Lin Jin, who was playing with Kong Ming's lock, and sighed and said, "Mrs. is so anxious, it should be because Brother Jin is in it." Although it is a sister-in-law over there, Brother Sumire is the eldest son than him. If Brother Mao is in good health, she can still relax a little; It's just that Brother Mao'er is not in good health, and she is naturally worried that the two brothers will fight in the future. Even if we say that we don't fight with Brother Mao, I'm afraid that my wife won't believe it, so I can't complain that she is anxious. ”

Aunt Lin couldn't help but sigh when she thought of Brother Mao'er, the only male in the Lin family, who was sick, this child was afraid that he would not grow up. Although she is sorry for the ancestors of the Lin family for what she has done, as the daughter of the Lin family, and now she lives on the Lin family, she still hopes that the Lin family will have a long life.

Therefore, she subconsciously looked at Yang Wan's belly and sighed: "Don't worry about those who don't have it, your belly is more angry, and it's important to give birth to a strong and healthy boy quickly." ”

Yang Wan lowered her head a little embarrassed, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lin Jin who was looking at her with wide eyes on the side, and felt that the following topic was not suitable for her to listen to, so she hurriedly asked Lin Jin's grandmother Tao Mama to take her out.

Lin Jin, who was taken away by Mama Tao, muttered in her heart: I don't want to say anything about the eighteen forbidden topics, what can't she listen to? If you really want to talk about it, she came through and saw the paint in her mind well-informed, but I am afraid that the ladies in the mansion together cannot compare to her.

Lin Jin could understand Aunt Lin's idea that Yang Wan would give birth to a boy quickly, after all, she was not the blood of the Lin family, and she was also a girl; And Brother Mao is sick and weak, and what will happen in the future is uncertain. From the perspective of the world conditions of this era, the Lin family needs a healthy man, but as far as the current pattern of the house is concerned, if Yang Wan gives birth to a child, I am afraid that the balance will be broken.

It is said that in the backyard, between wives and concubines, either "the east wind overwhelms the west wind", or "the west wind overwhelms the east wind", the current situation of the Lin family is that Jia Min and Yang Wan are evenly matched, and no one has suppressed anyone.

According to Lin Jin's observations over the past few days, if it weren't for Aunt Lin, and Yang Wan herself, she would definitely not be able to compete with Jia Min. Yang Wan's personality is timid, a little soft-hearted, not very assertive, the situation is similar to Yingchun, but it is different.

The reason why they are similar is because both of them have neither strong personalities, but they are both a little soft.

The difference is that Yingchun is because there is no one to rely on in Jiafu, and under the disregard of everyone, he has formed a cowardly character who does not want to cause trouble, only wants to calm things after the accident, knocks out his teeth and swallows them in his stomach, not only can not control the servants who serve around him, but even is controlled by his cowardly temperament.

Yang Wan is because Aunt Lin has a tough personality and takes care of everything for her, so that she has developed a character that depends on her mother for everything, she doesn't know how to make decisions when she encounters an accident, and she doesn't know how to deal with it after an accident, so she pretends that nothing has happened and delays it, and she can't wait until she can't drag it out.

However, as a superior, Yang Wan still has a master, and it is not so easy to be handled by subordinates. In addition to the difference in gender, Lin Jin feels that Yang Wan's situation is somewhat similar to the "Ma Bao Man" in post-secular words.

At present, the backyard of the Lin Mansion is very calm, Jia Min and Yang Wan are very good at the well water does not interfere with the river water, you cross your single-plank bridge, I will take my Yangguan Road, everyone has their own way, and they do not interfere with each other.

Yang Wan's personality is destined to make her not a master who can fight with her, and Aunt Lin, whom she relies on, is sorry for Lin Ruhai because of Lin Jin's affairs, so as long as she can ensure that their mother and daughter have a good life in the mansion, she will not make a move on Jia Min and provoke a fight.

And there are many reasons why Jia Min chose not to fight with Yang Wan.

First of all, no matter what Yang Wan's previous identity was, and what her relationship was with the Lin family and Lin Ruhai, from the time she chose to become Lin Ruhai's second room, she was inferior to Jia Min, the wife in charge, in terms of status; Moreover, the Yang family from which Yang Wan was born is not as noble and glorious as her maiden Rongguo Mansion, and in terms of confidence, Yang Wan is a few points behind her. And both have sons. Although Brother Mao's health is not good, the child is still young at present, and he may not be able to recuperate well in the future.

Moreover, the concubines below the wife of the main house are embarrassed, in fact, there are only a few means, and the most used is to make a fuss about food and clothing. For example, Wang Xifeng's renovation of Second Sister You's second room is to grind her little by little through the means of daily life such as food, clothing, and use.

But Yang Wan has money and her own manpower, and Jia Min wants to handle her, but it is not easy to handle. And she can also see that Yang Wan is still very easy to deal with, but Aunt Lin behind her is more difficult. However, Aunt Lin adheres to the principle of "people don't offend me, I don't offend people", so as long as she doesn't want to rectify Yang Wan, Aunt Lin will not deliberately get along with her.

Since Yang Wan has no ambitions, she sits in her second room with peace of mind, and does not want to be a demon, so she doesn't need to deal with her. Anyway, from the moment Yang Wan entered the door to give her tea, it was doomed, no matter what, Yang Wan would not be able to go beyond her in this life.

One of the reasons why Jia Min didn't want to deal with her was for Brother Mao'er's body, she had wasted too much effort, and she really didn't have much to focus on the fighting method of wives and concubines.

In the end, although Jia Min was unhappy because Yang Wan became Lin Ruhai's second room, but when Lin Ruhai confessed to her the reason why Yang Wan was the second room, and when the couple negotiated with Aunt Lin at that time, Aunt Lin also resolutely expressed the idea of not wanting Yang Wan to be a concubine. Jia Min is reasonable, knowing that Yang Wan is not to blame for this matter, on the contrary, it is the Lin family and her side who are sorry for her, so she can't help but be a little lacking in confidence when facing Yang Wan.

Therefore, as long as Yang Wan doesn't stir up trouble here, Jia Min is also happy to maintain this state of harmony between wives and concubines.

Jia Min's thoughts, Lin Jin felt that Aunt Lin could guess a few points, as for her mother, although she didn't have that heart, she didn't need to worry because she had her grandmother. But now this balance is maintained on the basis that Brother Mao is still young, and Yang Wan only has a son like her. If Yang Wan gets pregnant again, then the balance will be broken, and at that time, it is unknown how things will go.

Maybe there will be a big drama of wives and concubines fighting, maybe they will continue to maintain this calm, maybe they will ...... Lin Jin shook her head, as if she had thrown out the chaotic speculation in her mind.

Now Yang Wan has no child in her belly, what do you want to do so far. Lin Jin felt that her task now was to eat, drink, and sleep,...... Grow up healthy and healthy, and don't need to think about the rest for the time being. In the future, we will talk about it in the future, and there will be a road before the chariot reaches the mountain.
