Lin Mansion, Jia Min was lying on the bed, seeing Lin Ruhai looking nervous, and turned around the envoys of his maid and mother-in-law: one would ask someone to put away the scissors, needles and threads and other sharp things in the room, and one would ask someone to go to the kitchen to make some clean and nourishing soup for Jia Min, and then order someone to go to Jiafu to deliver a letter, and another time to ask someone to invite his nurse Dou Mama into the house to take care of Jia Min, and then clapped his hands and said: "I should write down everything the doctor instructs, so as not to violate taboos." Seeing Jia Min looking at him all the time, he asked again, "Is there anything uncomfortable about Madame?" What you want to eat, what you want, just say, I must have thought of it. ”

Jia Min said with a smile: "Although I just invited a doctor today and was diagnosed as pregnant, isn't the child fine in the womb in the first two months?" Look at it, I'm sweating all over my face, hurry up and sit and rest, I'm fine, I don't want anything anymore, and when I really think about it, I'll tell you. ”

He called his eldest girl Qingping and said: "Hurry up and wet the handkerchief with warm water and wipe it for the master, it is windy when you go out, and you should have a headache at night." ”

Lin Jinhai saw that Jia Min was about to get up, so he hurriedly went over to help her and said, "Madame, let's lie down, didn't the doctor say that it is best to recuperate in the first three months?" ”

Jia Min said helplessly: "Even if it's a quiet retreat, I don't go out, I can't even get out of bed, so what's the matter?" Besides, when we return to the door from our wedding, it's not that you haven't seen your second sister-in-law, your belly is big, and you still have a seat, the housekeeper director is the same as before, and it was the same when I was pregnant with Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan before, but I am very delicate? ”

Lin Ruhai said: "That's different, the second sister-in-law has several children, naturally not so careful, you are the first one, of course you have to take care of it, the doctor doesn't also say that the woman is pregnant, how difficult is the first one?" I can't suffer for you, so I can only do something else. ”

Seeing that he insisted on this, Jia Min thought that in addition to having a deep relationship with his husband and wife, he still wanted to think about the child tightly, so he had to rely on him.

Lin Ruhai said: "I know you're lying down for a long time and you're depressed, why don't I go get a book and read it to you, okay?" ”

Jia Min didn't answer, but hid his head in the pillow, only laughing and trembling.

Lin Ruhaiqi said: "What are you laughing at? ”

Jia Min raised his head, his face flushed, and said: "I laugh at the old Tanhua you hand-picked, the dignified doctor of Lantai Temple, when did you become such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, I want your colleagues to know, I don't laugh at you." ”

Lin Ruhai said: "I take care of my own wife, what is there to joke about, I want to laugh at them, I obviously read a belly of sage books, and I want to do something unseemly." A few days ago, a strange thing happened, I told you, and you should be relieved. I ask you, do you know that place is the richest now? What is the most profitable official? ”

Jia Min said: "Rich, it should belong to Yangzhou, didn't the poet say, 'Wrap 30,000 yuan around your waist, ride a crane down to Yangzhou', as for the most profitable official, I don't know, anyway, I don't have my brother, nor is it a master." ”

Lin Ruhai said: "Even if you answer half correctly, Yangzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, and now it is a place where businessmen gather, which is a first-class rich and elegant place." Among the many businesses, the biggest business is the salt merchant, so the official in charge of the salt administration in Yangzhou is also the most profitable. The previous salt patrol imperial history Wu Du Wu Lord, can be regarded as the richest official in our dynasty, unexpectedly greedy a little too much, was sued to the front of the emperor, the saint was furious, locked him up and escorted back to Beijing, all the family property confiscated, do not want this speculation, copy out the problem. ”

Jia Min said: "The Imperial History of Salt Patrol is just a seven-grade official, how much money can he be greedy?" ”

Lin Ruhai said: "Don't believe it, our Lord Wu, although the official is small, his appetite is really not small, his family is copied, but it can catch up with the national tax for half a year, not to mention that in addition to cash, this Lord Wu also married seventy-two aunts and grandmothers, I heard that all of them are like flowers and jade, in addition to the master, even the subordinates are also very generous, this housekeeper of the Wu Mansion, there are 20,000 taels of silver a year!" ”

Jia Min said: "In our house, a total of 20,000 taels of silver a year is amazing, and most of it depends on the property left by the ancestors. ”

Lin Ruhai sighed: "Yes, so the saint is furious and orders someone to investigate thoroughly, and the relevant people must be investigated to the end." I'm afraid that this is the case, and the officialdom in Yangzhou is going to change blood. ”

Jia Min said: "Yes, if it weren't for the protection of officials and officials, and the collusion between officials and businessmen, it would not have reached this point." But Yangzhou is a good place, "fireworks in March under Yangzhou", "the world is three points of bright moon night, two points of scoundrels is Yangzhou." I think it's so beautiful when I hear it, but it's a pity that I'm a woman, and I can't go after all. ”

Lin Ruhai said: "What's so difficult about this? When our children are older, I will take a leave, take you to Yangzhou and will not run, when the time comes, we will go to the prosperous places to visit, I heard that Yangzhou cuisine is also very good, if it tastes really good, we can also buy two Yangzhou cooks back, but also send a filial piety to the mother-in-law. ”

Although Jia Min didn't believe it, he was very happy when he heard Lin Ruhai say this, and he remembered his filial piety to his mother.

That is, when it comes to the beautiful scenery and food of Yangzhou, Jia Min's poetry is hooked, so he ordered the girl to go to the green to lay paper and ink. Lin Ruhai hurriedly stopped and said, "These things are the most draining, don't get these these days." ”

Jia Min was unwilling, Lin Ruhai resolutely refused, seeing that the husband and wife were going to quarrel over this trivial matter, Jielu hurriedly said: "Didn't the master just ask people to invite Mama Dou to come, I think it should be there, I'll take a look." ”

After going out for a while, I really brought in an old woman who was nearly fifty years old, and the grandmother was about to kowtow when she saw Jia Min, but Jia Min hurriedly let Jielu stop her, let her go to the vultures on the side, and ordered to pour tea.

Lin Ruhai said: "I didn't dare to work Mama, but now that she is pregnant, there is no elder in this family to take care of. ”

Mama Dou said: "The old man said this, but he broke my old bones, and Mrs. Meng did not dislike it, I fought for this old bone, and I also had to take care of Mrs. and the little master." ”

Jia Min also said: "It's hard work like this." ”

Mama Dou looked at Jia Min for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears and said: "At the beginning, I followed the old lady to marry, and took care of the old lady, and let me be the old man's nurse. It's just that, their only regret is that they only raised a child from the master, and they let go before they saw the master get married and have children, if they waited until today, they saw the little master in the belly of the lady, how good it was! ”
