70. Persuasion

When it came to the eldest sister, Jia Min took advantage of the situation and asked, "The eldest sister is almost three years old, right?" When are you going to add a brother to her? ”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said haha: "Lian Er and I are still young, and the eldest sister is still young, so we are not in a hurry......

Jia Min sighed: "Feng girl, I'm not urging you, I'm just asking you to think more." You also know that when I married into the Lin family, I didn't have a heart for more than ten years, I ate countless kinds of decoctions and pills, and it was easy to get your sister and brother two children, before I gave birth to them, I don't know how much gossip I heard, this woman has no son, how difficult life is, I know much better than you. ”

"I see that you are busy all day long, managing the affairs of a large family, things are complicated, you have to be strong, and you don't want people to look down on you, it will inevitably cost you energy, you don't care about being young, don't you know that it is consuming your mental strength, and when you notice that something is wrong, I am afraid that your body will lose money early, and at that time, it will be too late to regret."

"I heard Yun Zhenren talk about the health scriptures, saying that women give birth to children, it is best between twenty and thirty, the older you are, the more difficult it is to give birth, and the greater the wear and tear on the body, this is the case when I gave birth to your cousin, I hurt my vitality, so that my health has not been good, if I didn't meet Yun Zhenren by luck, I am afraid that the grave grass is higher than people. I'm a lesson from the past. If you don't take advantage of your youth and vigor to give birth to a son in a hurry, when will you go? Now he only cares about being competitive and holding on to the housekeeper's power, and he doesn't have a son, so no matter how big the family business is, who can he leave it to? If it doesn't fall into the hands of the eldest sister, it will only cheapen others for nothing, think about it, isn't this the truth? ”

Wang Xifeng was silent.

She doesn't know a lot of words, and she doesn't have great insight and wisdom, but she knows what her aunt said, she feels very uncomfortable when she listens to it, but she also understands that it's not for her good, she won't mention a word to her at all, she doesn't agree with her aunt's point of view, and she has to admit that this aunt who hasn't gotten along much is really thinking about her, whether she listens to it or not, she accepts this feeling.

Thinking so, Wang Xifeng smiled again and said, "I listen to my aunt, go back and take care of my body, and hurry up to give birth to a younger brother to my eldest sister, so that she can ......have someone to support her in the future."

As soon as Jia Min heard it, she knew that Wang Xifeng didn't go to her heart, but she didn't want to persuade her again, sighed secretly, smiled at her words, and said: "I just remembered that it was always the eldest sister and the eldest sister, she was young and not easy to give a scientific name, so why didn't she give a milk name?" ”

Wang Xifeng said: "It's the day of birth that is not very good, but it happens to be the seventh day of the seventh month, my aunt is in front of me, it is better for you to take one for her, and it is good to touch your blessings, and the eldest sister can have your blessings in the future, which is enough for her to enjoy." ”

Jia Min was a little moved, but after thinking about it, she felt that her blessings were not enough, and she thought of Yunqing, thinking that it was better to find a professional, so she said to Wang Xifeng: "I'll find someone to help me take a look and give the eldest sister a good name." ”

Wang Xifeng understood, the two tacitly ignored this unpleasant topic, picked up some light gossip and chatted, except for this little episode, everyone else had a good time, and returned home in the evening.

A few days later, there was a will in the palace, and the matter of picking draft girls was decided, Jia Min went back to Rongguo Mansion to visit Jia's mother, a group of people got together to play cards for entertainment, made a fuss all morning, had lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Jia Min slept on Jia's mother's bed to rest, and the mother and daughter did not sleep, but whispered their own words with their heads against their heads.

The two are mothers and daughters who are close relatives, there is nothing that can't be said, Jia Min thought about opening up to her mother and having a good talk, first euphemistically said the problems she found, and then persuaded Jia's mother: "When my father was here, what was the family like, and what is it like now?" I know that my mother is old and impatient to take care of things, but my brothers are not successful, my nephews have not grown up, and the family still needs you to support it. ”

Mother Jia held Jia Min as before, patted her shoulder lightly, and waited for her to finish before she said: "Good boy, you are willing to say these disgusting words, all for the good of the family, and it was not in vain that your father loved you back then." And you put your heart in your belly, and the home is not as good as before, but it is not as good as you said, I know it in my heart. As for the problems you mentioned, I'll let Lian'er deal with it when I go back, your brothers are useless, Lian'er is a capable person, and he will definitely be able to handle it, so don't worry about it. ”

"Lian'er is in his twenties, and he doesn't have a regular business, he only takes care of housework at home, and he doesn't look like it, didn't he donate a five-grade official, why don't you find someone to dredge and make a real shortage?" Jia Min asked.

Mother Jia was silent for a moment, and said: "Where is the real lack of good strategy, his uncle of the Wang family said that if he takes 30,000 silver out, he can be arranged to be a governor of the command and envoy department, and the official position is low, and he has to live in the guard, Lian'er has been pampered since she was a child, where can she bear this grievance?" I refused, thinking that I would wait until the right opportunity arose. ”

Eight-rank petty official, he didn't even have the qualifications to go to the gate of the Guogong Mansion in the past, how can Jia Lian, as the son of the Rongguo Mansion, do this? Even if the family is not so prominent, they can't afford to lose this person, and Jia Mu refused without thinking about it.

Jia Min knew Jia's mother's concerns when she thought about it, after all, it was the Guogong Mansion, and the shelves always had to be propped up, and she couldn't show her decline, and it was difficult to put down her body after standing on a high place for a long time, although she didn't agree with it, she could understand it.

"The palace decreed to pick up draft girls, in addition to hiring concubines, but also to choose a companion for the princess and the county lord, and the age of Yingchun is suitable, but there are some shortcomings, it is better to send it to the election, follow the princess and county lords for a few years, and it is also an advantage to say that when you are close in the future, you can also have more arms." Jia Min said again.

Jia Mu was a little moved.

She originally thought that there was already a Yuan Chun in the palace, who was a female official beside the queen. The family's resources are limited, even if a few Yingchun enter the palace, the resources are scattered, and it is more difficult to succeed, it is better to fully support one, Jia Min's words brought her a new idea.

It's not that Jia's mother boasts, her children are all beautiful, and they want to run for concubines and princesses, because of their background, it may be too difficult, but if you want to be the companion of the princess and the princess, it is still very likely, and it is also an honor to be a companion to the royal ladies, which represents their own conduct and can improve their worth, although they are not married to the royal road, but they are also very popular in the marriage market, just like Jia Min said, getting married to a good family is only good for the family.
