Chapter 108: Mother's Love
Tong Hui and He Qing didn't stay here until dark and went back, Tong Hui was very busy, He Qing also had to go home to accompany the princess, before he left, Zhiyun casually explained - "It's almost time, you want a child." ”
He Qing was stunned, hesitated for a long time, in the end, he was answered, he had been sluggish since he was a child, only his sister depended on each other alone, and now he has a family, although it is not on his own territory, but after many years of getting along, he is indeed sincere to the princess, if it is not so, he will not be able to marry someone else's princess, the people in the floating city are arrogant, even if they have no scruples about conspiracies and tricks, but they will never sell themselves. feelings', to achieve the goal, so, He Qing is very satisfied with his current daughter-in-law, how can he not want a child?
It's just that his situation is more complicated, and it's okay now, when the picture is poor, the world here in the Red Mansion has changed dynasties, and the princess still doesn't know what to think? If you have a child, the child's life experience is also a trouble......
Over the years, I have seen the princess who has always been bright and hearty, because of the problem of the child, her face was full of sadness, and she even moved the idea of giving him a concubine, He Qing also felt a little guilty in his heart, at this time his own teacher spoke, he thought about it, and felt that there should be no problem with having a child - according to the long live lord, the temper of his own master, he should not kill all the royal family members here, maybe, no, it will definitely be offered with good food and drink.
When the two brothers were sent away, Mrs. Lin had already taken care of her own affairs, and this lady was very neat, and it only took a moment to write a few long letters.
At this time, she brought Daiyu, who was still a little shy on her face, over, plus Zhiyun and Yuanyuan, and the four women got together and started to play chess, not Go, but checkers.
At first, Zhiyun just took it out to tease the child, but he didn't expect it to be loved by everyone, not only in the capital, but also in the floating city, where there is no shortage of entertainment, there are also many apprentices who like to play when they have nothing to do, chess is also diverse, there are jade, colored porcelain, and even colored diamonds, made of various alloys, a dozen copper coins can buy a pair of shoddy products, Wan'er 8,000 taels of silver A pair of high-end products are also a lot, this era, No matter how many civilian things are, there will be people who deliberately put out a bunch of luxury goods to earn silver, and those merchants have the ability to seize business opportunities, which is no worse than that of modern merchants.
However, Zhiyun is not in the habit of using luxury goods, she still plays the simplest set of glass checkers.
The four women happily killed more than a dozen sets, and Mrs. Lin said with a smile: "Today, I want to run out again, but the old housekeeper is grounded...... Hey, this child is about to get married, but he is still so jumpy, fortunately he is married to the Fan family, otherwise, I would not have to be frightened every day, I am afraid that this Ni will make a mess of my in-laws. ”
As soon as he spoke, Zhiyun, Daiyu and Yuanyuan all laughed.
Zhiyun actually admires Zhaoyu's temper, and doesn't feel anything bad at all, if she has the opportunity to take her to the Qing Dynasty in the future, she will definitely be able to win the love of authentic Manchurian aunts and grandmothers. However, the girls in this world pay attention to gentleness and grace, dignified and generous, this is okay, it is the same everywhere, but the most commendable ladies are the kind that does not go out of the door.
At this point, at least Zhaoyu can't stand it, she wears men's clothes on weekdays to go out hunting and playing, that's a common thing, this kind of behavior can be called an alternative, making her famous in the capital, of course, it's not a good reputation, fortunately, this child is broad-minded, he doesn't mind at all, the Fan family doesn't mind either, their daughters-in-law, most of them are Jiangmen tiger girls, although Zhaoyu is spicy, but it can be left in their house, then it is just right.
The four women were playing chess and gossiping for a while, and then they saw October come in and come back, saying that Li Kun was visiting.
Daiyu was stunned, she was not familiar with Li Kun when she was in Jiafu, mainly because the sister-in-law had always stayed in the house and didn't like to go out, and she didn't participate in various activities in Jiafu if she could.
"Strange, why is my sister-in-law here?"
Although surprised, it is not good not to see the guests when they come to the door.
Li Kun sat in the flower hall, a little hesitant, the golden silk nan carved square table in front of him was placed with crystal plates of fruits, almond crisp, fried chestnuts, candied fruits, mints and other familiar or unfamiliar snacks, the little girl served mellow melon slices early, very thoughtful service, the decoration of the flower hall is elegant, is her favorite on weekdays, but she is absent-minded, always a little worried.
Recently, the construction of the provincial villa on the Jia family's side has been smooth, but there are always many chaotic people in and out of the house, as for home schooling, it is not a serious place to study at all, Jia Lan was still young before, and Li Kun himself could detain him in the house to teach one or two, but as Jia Lan grew older, Li Kun alone could no longer teach him.
Li Kun sighed, thinking of his Lan'er, his heart was satisfied, but also helpless, the longer Lan'er grows, the more like his father, not only looks alike, but also sexually like, likes to read, and is also very good at reading, but at least he is serious and hardworking, he is like a little adult at a young age, and as soon as he reads a book, he can't hear anything in the outside world.
She didn't want her son to be buried by the Jia family, whether they were intentional or unintentional, Li Kun went to see Jia's mother a year ago and wanted to hire a gentleman for Lan'er, but Jia's mother said that she was now in charge of the house and asked her to talk to Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang's person, Li Kun still doesn't understand? Although she is her mother-in-law, she has never been waiting to see herself, and she can't even look down on Lan'er, she only has Jia Baoyu as a baby bump in her heart.
Even so, for the sake of her son, Li Kun still went, and even thought about showing her face, and must ask Mrs. Wang to agree, but as soon as she revealed her words, Mrs. Wang was a little impatient, so she only asked Lan'er to send her to school first......
Delayed, delayed, Li Kun went to say it a few times, but Mrs. Wang just didn't let go, she was a daughter-in-law, and it was not good to go directly to her father-in-law, Lan'er's studies were delayed.
A year doesn't seem like a long time, but Lan'er is a good time to study, can it be delayed? Li Kun was not only worried, but also hated in her heart, how could she not know Mrs. Wang's thoughts, but she was unwilling to force her Baoyu to study, for fear that Lan'er would study well and get her father-in-law's blue eyes, which would put pressure on her Baoyu.
Fortunately, Lan'er is angry, and he has not been taken by those people in his home school, but he has redoubled his efforts, and his studies are getting more and more sophisticated, this year he is going to take the children's exam, if it goes well, by the way, he will take a township test to test the water, if it doesn't work, it's nothing, anyway, Lan'er is still young and has a lot of time to work hard.
But recently in Jia's house, Lan'er couldn't study at all, Mrs. Wang didn't know what was wrong, so she called Jia Lan to her side every day, and stayed for a day.
Mrs. Wang is Li Kun's mother-in-law and Lan'er's own grandmother, she wants to call Lan'er over, but Lan'er is no longer willing, so where can she not go? If it's a day or two, it's not impossible to endure it, but it's been half a month, and Mrs. Wang hasn't even had the slightest intention of restraint, she is so tormented, how can Lan'er study? Not only was the child's face sad, but after a few days, Li Kun couldn't sit still, thinking left and right, he had to find a place for Lan'er to study with peace of mind.
After thinking about it for several days, and tossing and turning for a few nights, Li Kun considered several candidates, and finally felt that Daiyu was the most suitable here, first, Daiyu could be said to be Jia Lan's aunt, the relationship was close, and Jia's mother valued Daiyu very much, as long as Daiyu spoke, Lan'er would definitely be fine to stay, even if Mrs. Wang was unhappy, it would not be good.
Moreover, Daiyu is a famous talented woman, and several gentlemen who have taught her have said that if Daiyu is a man, she is the best talent, and with her, she can also guide Lan'er in her homework.
"Sister-in-law."
After a while, Daiyu came out, and Yingying saluted Li Kun, who hurriedly avoided it and returned the salute, and then sat down with the guest and host.
"It's autumn in a few days, I made a few boxes of moon cakes, send them to Daiyu, just taste them, it's not good." After a few polite words, Li Kun smiled and handed over the food box in his hand.
"Sister-in-law is so polite." Daiyu was confused for a while, there were still a few days before Qiuke, but she was not slow to react, and as soon as she signaled, Bilian hurriedly took it respectfully and put it away.
Whether it is Li Kun or Daiyu, in fact, they are not the ones who like to talk around the bend, although they are not very embarrassed, but after chatting a few words casually, Li Kun said that he wanted Jia Lan to study here with Daiyu.
"Daiyu, sister-in-law has no choice, so she begged to come to the door, you know, now the family is in chaos, Lan'er is the age of studying, and a few years to catch up with him to take the children's exam, sister-in-law doesn't want him to delay his studies......"
Dai Yu was stunned for a moment, and was stunned for a while before smiling: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Lan'er will live in my village temporarily......"
Hearing Daiyu's promise, Li Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and left Daiyu with great gratitude, to make Daiyu extremely embarrassed, this is just a trivial matter, where is it worthy of such gratitude to his sister-in-law? Thinking of Jia Lan, the only one in the Jia family who took reading as a serious matter, Daiyu couldn't help but sigh, that was a good child, why couldn't grandmother and second aunt see it, compared to Jia Baoyu, who didn't know what to say, and was only messing around in the fat powder pile, Jia Lan was the hope of the Jia family's future......
However, Jia Lan has a mother who is sensible and knows how to love him, and she is actually much luckier than Jia Baoyu.
