At this time, there is a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year", therefore, as a relatively large festival, the winter solstice is easier to wear new clothes, prepare food, enjoy the ancestors, and congratulate each other on the old and old relatives,...... There's a lot to prepare.

However, these things are all worried about by Jia Min, the wife in charge, and Yang Wan and Lin Jin can only sit back and enjoy the results.

Because the ancestral hall of the Lin family is in Gusu, Jia Min arranged for the worship of the ancestors to be held in a relatively well-known temple in the suburbs, so he was notified several days in advance, so that everyone was ready to go out.

Since Lin Ruhai made a second room, whether it is the house girl or the wife of the house, it has nothing to do with Yang Wan, and there is Jia Min, who is quiet and does not like to move, is pressed on it, even if she wants to take the opportunity to go out to breathe, such as going out, incense, worshipping Buddha, etc., she is embarrassed to bring it up, so since she entered the door of the Lin family, Yang Wan has never stepped out of this house.

Now that she finally has the opportunity to let off steam, Yang Wan is so happy that she sent away the mother-in-law who delivered the letter, and picked out clothes, jewelry, and the maid who went out with her; I went out early with clothes, jewelry, food, and ,...... Everything is ready.

It's just a pity that the day before she went out, she suddenly felt unwell, and after asking the doctor to come over, she found out that she was pregnant, and she planned to go out to the soup.

The moment she learned that Yang Wan was pregnant, Lin Jin was stunned, this is the rhythm of her wanting to have one more brother or sister? Because she was so surprised, she ignored the difference in emotions between Lin Ruhai, Jia Min and Aunt Lin when they learned that Yang Wan was pregnant.

Of course, the relationship between them and the child in Yang Wan's belly is different, so it is normal for them to have different emotions, but Aunt Lin is even happier than Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai is even more conflicted than Jia Min, which is not normal.

……

Playing with Daiyu and Brother Mao in the upper room, Lin Jin, who was tired of playing, collapsed on the collapse, originally wanted to take a rest, but unknowingly fell asleep. Feeling as if she was under a thousand pounds of heavy burden, Lin Jin, who couldn't breathe, opened her eyes and saw Daiyu and Brother Mao lying next to her left and right, snoring very well, but it would be better if her arms and legs didn't press on her.

Just when Lin Jin was carefully moving the arms and legs of the two children on her without waking up Daiyu and Brother Mao, the voices of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai came from outside.

“…… I haven't congratulated my lord yet, but I heard Dr. Xu say that Sister Wan is pregnant with another boy this time. There was a sourness in Jia Min's voice.

Lin Ruhai understood what she was worried about, took Jia Min's hand and said, "Don't worry, no matter how many boys my cousin has, the status of Brother Mao's sister-in-law will not be shaken." ”

Jia Min frowned lightly, with a worried face, "But Brother Mao'er is not in good health...... I don't know if I can grow up smoothly, but I am afraid that I can't bear the burden of the Lin family.

"Children, weak bodies, just grow up." Lin Ruhai interrupted her disapprovingly, and did not take Brother Mao'er's illness in his eyes. Because the Lin family not only has few heirs from generation to generation, but also is not very healthy, and they are often sick when they are young.

Compared with Jia Min, an "insider", who doesn't know his "true face", Lin Jin, an outsider, can see it very clearly. As an orthodox scholar, Lin Ruhai not only maintains the etiquette of this world, but also strictly abides by it himself, so in the case of having a concubine, no matter how good the concubine is, he will not hand over the Lin family to the concubine.

In fact, we can see the clue from Brother Mao and her name: the jade held by the Son of Heaven is used to join the princes' Gui, and it is covered with Gui, which is called Mao; As the elder brother of Brother Mao, it stands to reason that her name should be "Jin" next to the word Wang, although it is not as valuable as the word Mao, but it is also a beautiful jade, but Lin Ruhai removed the "Wang", so her name became a perennial herb - "Violet".

The concubine is the jade in the hands of the emperor, and the concubine is a plant. When Lin Jin realized the meaning of her name and Brother Mao'er's name, she secretly laughed at Lin Ruhai in her heart.

However, from Daiyu's point of view, she is a plant, although Daiyu is a fairy grass reincarnation, relatively tall, but also a plant; And Dai is blue-black, and Sumire is lilac, so Lin Ruhai hit her crookedly and named her and Daiyu according to the rules of sisterhood.

Seeing what Jia Min was going to say, in order to completely reassure her, Lin Ruhai said: "Because my Lin family's heirs have always been scarce, so after having Brother Sumire, I don't know if my cousin will get pregnant, so I didn't tell you." When I took my cousin as a second room, my aunt suggested that if my cousin gave birth to a second son, she would inherit cigarettes from my cousin's deceased cousin. ”

Jia Min exclaimed, "What? Master, how could you say yes? "No one knows better than her how much Lin Ruhai attaches importance to her heirs, otherwise, there would not be Yang Wan's second room at the beginning.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "If I don't agree, my aunt will beat the child in my cousin's womb and arrange for my cousin to marry another." In fact, from her aunt's point of view, she is not taking advantage of the fire to rob, after all, her cousin could have been the wife of the house, but as a result, she had to be wronged to be a concubine. Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only be forced to agree.

Hearing this, Jia Min was silent, in that situation at that time, how could Lin Ruhai not agree?

Lin Ruhai didn't want to continue this topic, his eyes turned, and when he saw the letter from Jia's mother on the kang table, he picked it up casually, and said while looking at it: "This is the letter from Taishui that I just received, what is written in the letter?" When I saw half of it, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Why did you suddenly let Sister Yuan go to the draft for no reason?" ……”

Jia Min said with a smile: "Sister Yuan is by her mother's side, raised by her mother, she is both talented and beautiful, has an excellent character, and was born on a good day like the first day of the Lunar New Year, and her fate brings blessings and nobles, and her luck ......is prosperous."

Lin Ruhai interrupted her unhappily: "This is a big mistake. The first day of the Lunar New Year is indeed a good day, but it does not mean that the child on this birthday is a rich and noble life. Don't talk about the whole country, just Jiangnan, born in a poor family, from childhood to adulthood, three meals a day are a problem, but it is a child of the first day of the new year, I can find a large number of them. I can't even fill my stomach, even if I was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Where do you see their riches? Just because they were born on the first day of the Lunar New Year? ”

Without waiting for Jia Min to speak, he said again: "A few years ago, the second brother-in-law was happy to have a noble son and was born with a jade, which is really auspicious, and it is indeed a very happy thing. But I don't know what Tai Shui and the second brother-in-law think, so they actually publicized it.

You have also read poetry and books, and you should understand that the children born with different appearances in history are all people who can leave their names in the history books. In troubled times, to say the least, it is also a hero; In the prosperous era, it is a capable minister. Although it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, people's hearts are unpredictable. Even if everyone has nothing to do, they must prevent the villains from slandering, with this incident, I don't know who will worry about it? What if this brings disaster to the family?

Besides, even if the child is talented, it will take a while to become a talent. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Since ancient times, geniuses have been envied, and Pang Juan was jealous of the talent of his junior brother Sun Bin, and he killed him regardless of the friendship of his senior brother; Song Zhiwen was jealous of Liu Xiyi's writing, 'The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year. Such a verse, snatching can't be done, regardless of the fact that the two are uncles and nephews, they killed him. Such examples are not uncommon, although the Yue family has some strength, but it may not be able to keep him safe for the rest of his life. ”

Frowning, "Therefore, in my opinion, it is not a good thing to have a great origin, to be born with a different phase, to have a precious life, to have great blessings, and so on. Baoyu's child still has a piece of Baoyu that was indeed born with birth, but Sister Yuan'er made a reputation for great luck and good luck just because she was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which is really unconvincing. Besides, what is the best place to go? From ancient times to the present, that relative is so easy to be? I don't know what the second brother-in-law thinks, why he suddenly became so confused! ”

Jia Min argued with a smile: "I also said that the second brother was confused, and I think my husband is even more confused." Nowadays, when we appreciate the painting "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", we look at the painter Gu Hongzhong's brushwork, composition, and color 、...... Most ignore why the painting came from. Because of his suspicion of his courtiers, Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent many people to spy on the ministers. His courtier Han Xizai had a banquet last night, went to the court the next day, and after the court was dispersed, he was called by Li Yu and showed him this painting, so as to hint at him: No matter what you courtiers do, I know.

As soon as Baoyu was born, when his mother and second brother saw the beautiful jade in his mouth, they thought of what you were worried about, why don't you want to hide it? But," he said, pointing to the top, "there is the person sent from the house, even if you want to hide it, where can you hide it?" In this case, it is better to publicize it generously.

As for Sister Yuan, it's just a formality. You know, girls like us have to participate in the draft, and my father came forward and begged me to be exempted; Now that the family is not as good as before, how can there be such a big face to ask for the exemption of Sister Yuan'er, so Sister Yuan can only participate in the draft. ”

Jia Min, who is clear-minded, gave her mother's two behaviors worthy of criticism in front of Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai didn't know, but how could Lin Jin not know that the thoughts of the Jia family were definitely different from what Jia Min said. Baoyu's matter aside, just said that Yuan Chun, she went to participate in the draft either through the motions, or rushed to the palace. If you don't get elected in the general election, you must enter the palace even if you are a palace maid.

Regarding Jia Min's behavior of not wanting to expose her mother's family in front of her husband and blowing her powder hard, Lin Jin couldn't help but complain: "Do you know that you dress up your mother's family in a pink and glamorous manner, and it may be your daughter who will be the one who will be pitted in the end!" ”
