Time passed, and it was winter in a blink of an eye. At this time, the winter solstice turned out to be a big festival, not only has the saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year", but also on this day, it is easier to get new clothes, prepare food, enjoy the ancestors, and relatives and friends congratulate each other on the winter,...... There's a lot to do.

However, most of these things are 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's hometown, 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 marrying Lin Ruhai as 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 go out to breathe by going out, incense, worshipping Buddha, etc., she is embarrassed to bring it up, so since she entered the door of the Lin family, she has never stepped out of this house.

Now that she finally has a chance to let off steam, Yang Wan was so happy that she sent away the mother-in-law who delivered the letter, and began to pick out clothes, jewelry, and the maids and daughters-in-law 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 arrived unwell, and after asking the doctor to come to the house, she found out that she was pregnant, and her plan to go out was in vain.

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? The history of the Lin family should be rewritten after one more her, right? 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 the three of them and the child in Yang Wan's womb is different, so it is normal for them to have different emotions, but Aunt Lin is even happier than Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai looks 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 weighing a thousand pounds of heavy burden on her body, 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 were not pressed on her.

On the premise of not waking up Daiyu and Brother Mao, Lin Jin carefully moved the legs of the two children on her body, and the voices of Jia Min and Lin Ruhai were heard outside.

“…… I haven't congratulated the lord yet, according to Dr. Xu from the house, 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 gives birth to, it will not shake the status of Brother Mao's son-in-law." ”

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 wait until they 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 requires himself to strictly abide by it, so in the case of having a concubine, no matter how good the concubine is, he will not consider handing over the Lin family to the concubine.

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

It is said that the name contains the parents' expectations for their children, the sister-in-law is the jade in the emperor's hand, and the concubine is a plant, which is absolutely different.

When Lin Jin realized the meaning of her name and Brother Mao'er's name, she secretly laughed at Lin Ruhai in her heart, literati just like to play word games, and they refuse to say anything clearly, so they have to poke and poke in secret.

However, if you look at Daiyu from the point of view, she is a plant, although Daiyu is reincarnated as a fairy grass, relatively tall, but she is also a plant, and Daiyu 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 be pregnant, so I won't tell you."

When I accepted my cousin as a second room, my aunt suggested that if my cousin gave birth to a second son, she would inherit the cigarettes of my aunt'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, and how she would allow her son to bear another family's surname.

Lin Ruhai smiled bitterly: "If I don't agree, my aunt will beat the child in my cousin's belly and arrange for my cousin to marry someone else." 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, so he turned his eyes and saw the letter from Jia's mother on the kang table, picked it up casually, and said while looking at it: "This is the letter from my mother-in-law that I just received, what is written in the letter?" When he saw half of it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Why did my mother-in-law's family suddenly let Yuanchun go to the draft for no reason?" ……”

Jia Min said with a smile: "Sister Yuan was by my mother's side when she was a child, and she was raised by my mother, she was both talented and beautiful, and her character was excellent, and she was born on a good day like the first day of the New Year, and she was blessed with ...... fortune."

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 my mother-in-law and 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, the snatching could not be done, regardless of the identity of the two of them as uncles and nephews, they still 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, his mother and second brother saw the beautiful jade in his mouth, and they thought of what you were worried about, why didn't they want to hide it, but," he stretched out his hand and pointed to it, "There is someone sent from the family, even if they hide it, where can they 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 Sister Yuan's exemption from the election, 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. In fact, Yuan Chun's female history is a palace maid with a higher grade.

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!" ”
