Chapter 5: A Delicate Balance

Jia Min's brother Mao was sick again, and he was sick for nearly two months, and the house invited several doctors to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment, but they didn't 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 who was very knowledgeable, came to see Brother Mao.

When Aunt Lin heard the news, she pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "This medical theory is profound, it doesn't necessarily mean that the medical skills are good, maybe it's 'on paper'?" Wouldn't it be bad if you were to follow the map? ”

Yang Wan on the side speculated: "Mrs. Jiang knows that Mrs. Mao is in a hurry to die, besides, her mother's family is now asking for help, how dare she casually recommend someone to come over to see Brother Mao'er?" This person must have two brushes, if this person is not good, then Mrs. Jiang is afraid that she will not dare to recommend it. ”

Remembering that the leper monk who came to the door not long ago and turned Daiyu into a monk, she said again: "Although the leper monk who came to the house a while ago is crazy, it is casual to comment on the words of the eldest girl, but he should still have some ability."

At that time, it was because he was standing outside the gate and talking, and he could be heard in the back house, so he was invited to 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?" After the front foot drove the person away, she remembered the back foot, so she hurriedly sent someone to chase after her. Obviously, the porter saw that the leper head went in that direction, and the housekeeper rode a horse and personally led people to chase him, but after chasing for more than half an hour, 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, she is also sick and weak, but the monk didn't say to show the eldest girl a pulse, leave a prescription or something, just shouted to turn into a monk, it can be seen that he is not very good at medicine, 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 doesn't matter if the body is weaker, as long as it is well raised later. Even if you have to take medicine, just 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 he couldn't see the effect, Jia Min immediately thought that the doctor was useless, so he was busy changing it, and then went to 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 born, but they have not slowly recovered later. 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, he loses his appetite, how can he still have the spirit to eat. The ancients said that 'those who eat the ancients are born', if you don't eat, your qi and blood will naturally be insufficient, and if you come, it will be difficult to take care of your body. ”

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 he is a sister-in-law over there, Brother Sumire is a few months older than him, and if Brother Mao is in good health, she can still put some peace on her shoulders; 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 thought of the current pattern of the backyard in the house, and thought of Brother Mao, the only male in the Lin family, who was sick, and couldn't help but sigh, this child is afraid that he will 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 outside the house by Mama Tao, muttered in her heart: It's not 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 with the current pattern of the house, 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 overpowers the east wind", but the current situation 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 personality that relies on her mother for everything, doesn't know how to make decisions in case of trouble, doesn't know how to face it after an accident, pretends that nothing has happened, and waits for it to be delayed.

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.

Although Yang Wan has a son under her knees, Jia Min also has a son. 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 the second room of Second Sister You is to learn from Second Sister You little by little through the means of daily life such as food and clothing.

But Yang Wan has assets in her hands and her own people, and Jia Min wants to handle her, but it is not easy to handle her. 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 is not 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.

Jia Min didn't want to deal with her, after all, for the sake of Brother Mao'er's body, she had wasted too much effort, and she really didn't have much to focus on the wife and concubine fighting method.

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.

Regarding 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 a 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.
