Chapter 9: Fame
Time passed, and soon it was winter. It was cold and windy outside, and there were several burning charcoal basins in the house, and the closed windows and thick red gorilla felt curtains kept the cold wind outside the house, so it was not cold for people to wear only single clothes in the house.
Let Lin Jin say that the temperature in this room is a little too high, and it is not breathable, a little stuffy, plus a large group of maids and women who serve Daiyu and Brother Mao are gathered in this room, so that the air in the house is turbid.
But she didn't dare to open the window, let in some wind, and change the air, because this room was the place where Jia Min's two top hearts, Daiyu and Brother Mao, were recuperated.
Her identity is embarrassing, when she says this, don't say that Jia Min won't listen, it is estimated that she will suspect that she has malicious intentions towards Daiyu and Brother Mao.
You know, these two children get sick because of the cold. Since he fell ill because of the cold, he naturally wanted to prevent the cold from invading again, so how could Jia Min agree to open the window and let the cold in.
Listening to Daiyu and Brother Mao'er complaining that the medicine they took was so bitter, and because of illness, Jia Min was strict, this was not done, that could not be done, the people who were waiting around only listened to their mothers, did not listen to their words, had to stay in the house, could not go out to play and other children's distress, Lin Jin comforted them dryly, and then followed Yang Wan, who brought her to visit the patient, back to the East Hospital.
As soon as she entered the house, Aunt Lin rushed up, ordering someone to take Lin Jin to change her clothes and drink ginger soup, while pointing at Yang Wan with her hand, and angrily reprimanded: "Do you say you are stupid?"
You don't know what the condition of the two children in the hospital is, and they get sick at both ends in three days. It's hard to say if you can grow up smoothly. At this time, the two children were sick again, and Jia Min looked at the sick pair of children, and he was not sure how to turn the river and the sea.
You went to visit the patient, with good intentions, but what are you going to do with Brother Sumire?
Not to mention the question of whether Brother Sumire will be sick, just talking about his healthy appearance, what kind of mood do you think she should be in the eyes of Jia Min, who is sick with a pair of children?
I don't know, I thought you went with Brother Sumire to show off. ”
Yang Wan obediently listened to the training, because she did not admit Aunt Lin's accusation in the last sentence, she defended softly: "I think that my wife not only treats Brother Jin very well, not at all like the attitude of other wives towards concubines, but also calls Brother Jin to the upper room from time to time, and lets him play with the eldest sister and Brother Mao, thinking that I hope they will be friendly as siblings."
Therefore, this time the eldest sister and Brother Mao were sick, and I felt that Brother Sumire, as an elder brother, would not be good if she didn't go to see it, so I took her over to visit the patient, and I didn't mean to show off at all.
I didn't think about it that much. I swear, I don't really have any other thoughts. ”
In fact, there is no need for Yang Wan to explain, Aunt Lin also knows that she doesn't have that mind, and she doesn't have that string in her head at all.
As for Jia Min's side, Aunt Lin believes that after several years of understanding, Jia Min has also seen what kind of personality Yang Wan is, and she should know that she brought Lin Jin over purely to visit the sick.
It's just that I know it, but seeing the fat and strong Lin Jin, and then looking at the two sick and weak children he has produced, Jia Min can't help but feel a little bad in his heart after all.
Daiyu and Brother Mao'er's illness, although Daiyu's health is not good, but the good is still earlier than Brother Mao'er. Brother Mao dragged on, and it was not until the eve of the New Year that he was completely cured.
This winter, because of the illness of the two children, especially Brother Mao'er's illness, the atmosphere inside and outside the house is not very good, and Jia Min's mood is not beautiful, so he has reduced a lot of social interactions. But her mother's New Year's gift is still as heavy as ever, and it has been prepared a long time ago, and it was sent over without any delay.
……
In ancient times, most of the Chinese New Year began to prepare as soon as they entered the lunar month, and noble families like the Jia family began to prepare early. Therefore, as the wife in charge of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang, who holds the housekeeping power, has been very busy in the recent days, even if these things are compared with the old practices of previous years.
However, at this time, Mrs. Wang and Mother Jia, who came to Rongqingtang, did not talk about the New Year in the house, but a series of things caused by Aunt Zhao's childbirth yesterday.
"I have discussed with the master, Aunt Zhao this time because of the birth of Huan'er nine deaths, adults and children have suffered no less, and it is at the pass of the New Year, and all the houses are busy, so the washing three, the full moon and the hundred days are not a big deal, only invite the family to come and sit down.
As for the cost saved, I plan to use it to help the poor people in Beijing who are suffering from cold and hunger, so that I should accumulate blessings for Huan'er and bless him to grow up safely without disasters and difficulties. I wonder if the old lady thinks this method is feasible? ”
Mother Jia, who was leaning on the pillow and leaning on the collapse, squinted her eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang, who was smiling kindly and compassionately in front of her, knowing that she was suppressing the status of Aunt Zhao, who had just given birth and was in the limelight, and Jia Huan, who had just given birth.
As for the so-called poverty alleviation for Jia Huan's blessings, these words are deceived by ghosts, and ghosts don't believe it. Even if Mrs. Wang really took the money to help the poor, no matter whether the money was saved from Jia Huan or not, she would not use it to accumulate blessings for Jia Huan, and it would be almost the same to accumulate blessings for the children she gave birth to, and by the way, she could also raise her reputation for compassion.
Mother Jia knew that it was normal for the wife of the head of the house to suppress the concubines and concubines, which was understandable; Moreover, if Mrs. Wang does good deeds, while making a name for herself, the house also has a good reputation; Therefore, he said, "Okay, just do what you want." ”
Seeing Mrs. Wang's complacent appearance, Jia Mu said unhurriedly: "You are a housekeeper, and your affairs are complicated; Aunt Zhao has a newborn child, and you have to take care of one or two; The three girls are raised by your side, but I am afraid that you will lack skills; My old woman eats and sleeps every day, sleeps and eats, and there is nothing to do, so it is better to take her to me and relieve me of my boredom. ”
The smile on the corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth had not yet dissipated, and when she heard the words, she suddenly froze on her face, and wanted to open her mouth to object, but she did not lose her sharp eyes at the old Jia Mu, and her heart was cold, and the words of opposition went around her mouth several times, and she couldn't say it after all, and obediently agreed.
Looking at the back of Mrs. Wang's departure, Jia Mu snorted coldly, and secretly said in her heart: The same pit, she had already fallen once back then, how could she fall into it again.
Why did Aunt Zhao have a difficult birth?
Because the pregnancy is bigger.
During her pregnancy and fetus, all kinds of supplements were sent into her room like flowing water. Whatever she wanted to eat, even if it wasn't her share, Mrs. Wang did her best to provide it. There was no one in the public school, so she paid for her private house to buy it outside.
After some operation, everyone in the house praised Mrs. Wang's generosity and kindness, and even Aunt Zhao, the big fool, was very grateful to Mrs. Wang.
When Jia Zheng's Aunt Zhou was pregnant, she also operated like this.
As a result, because the fetus was too big, Aunt Zhou gave birth for three days before giving birth to the child, but the child was held in the mother's body for too long, and when she was born, she was already out of breath.
At that time, because Mrs. Wang had just married, Mother Jia was deceived by her original reputation of "honest and kind", and seeing that she treated Aunt Zhou so well, she thought that she wanted to gain a virtuous reputation, so she didn't delve into whether she was sincere or false.
Therefore, it wasn't until Aunt Zhou gave birth that she realized that something was wrong, but it was too late, because of her previous negligence, she broke one of her second son's heirs' bloodlines.
Mother Jia also knows that after getting married, she can't be as innocent and romantic as when she was a girl, but it takes a process to change her thinking. She also came from the period of the bride, so she knows very well, but most people need an adjustment period.
Although the length varies from person to person, when she arrives at Mrs. Wang, it is almost seamless, which makes her very surprised.
It's just like modern people shouting and shouting to kill, but when it comes to really doing it, many people are just a "mouth cannon party", they can't do it, and they are cowardly, so if they want to really do it, they need a psychological adjustment period.
It was also until that time that Mother Jia reacquainted herself with her second daughter-in-law, and knew that those honest and honest evaluations about her were completely deceitful.
Originally, when Aunt Zhao was born to visit the spring, Mother Jia saw that Mrs. Wang didn't make any moths, thinking that she now had children and daughters, and the eldest son was born, and the second son was born with a vision, so she didn't need to worry about the existence of the concubine, so she stopped.
After all, the current situation is different from the beginning, when Aunt Zhou was pregnant with her eldest son, her knees were empty, and she didn't even have a pregnancy. As a result, when Aunt Zhao was pregnant with her second child, she repeated her old tricks.
How could Mother Jia make Mrs. Wang proud, but she didn't directly confront Mrs. Wang, knowing that Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao had a good relationship, so she mentioned Aunt Zhao through Aunt Zhou in a roundabout way.
Originally, the child was already fine after birth, but Mrs. Wang made a fuss about the third washing, the full moon, and the hundred days. While suppressing Aunt Zhao's limelight in the house, he did not forget to create a good image of tolerance and kindness in front of Jia Zheng, in the house and outside the house, and also wanted to pull Jia's mother.
Mrs. Wang's methods of suppressing the concubines and concubines while elevating herself were all leftovers of Jia's mother's play, how could Jia's mother not see her purpose. Although it didn't break her, it didn't mean that she was willing to be fooled by Mrs. Wang, so she took advantage of the fact that she was raised by her side to beat her.
Thinking that she was old, she was still worry-free, and she had to fight with her daughter-in-law, Mother Jia stroked her forehead with a headache and ordered: "Mandarin duck, you go to the big room and say it, and say that I will take the second girl to raise." ”
Partiality or not partiality, that's a private matter. On the bright side, Jia Mu still wants a bowl of water to be flat, since she brought the third girl over, she can't pull down the second girl.
