77 stunned the old lady
"Why don't you seem to have something to say?"
"I'm ......," Mrs. Wang frowned, "I'm afraid that the old lady will be angry when she hears it." ”
"It doesn't matter!" The old lady said in her heart, I know that I don't like to listen, don't you come too?
"The capital is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and its own blessings are boundless. But there is a lot of famine outside, and we have more projects and less money this year, just the eldest sister, there are as many as one million taels...... The old lady, the daughter-in-law is really, she is powerless. ”
"What's more, sir, he ...... If any of us had the ability of the old lady back then, our house would not be where it is today. ”
Mrs. Wang bit her lip and lowered her head to wipe her tears, obviously very resentful of Jia Zheng arguing with her in public. Now that what he said is true or false, he can't even tell the difference between himself.
I only know in my heart that if this family continues to be managed, I am afraid that it will soon be overstretched.
"Whew!" The old lady sighed heavily, shocked and angry in her heart, and asked Mrs. Wang, "These things outside, since there are men to worry about, we really have no way to do the rear, what do you think, what can I do now?" ”
She, the daughter-in-law, has always liked to say that the three points of difficulty are seven points, although it is a fact that the emperor now looks down on the children of the Jia family.
At this time, Mrs. Wang remembered that when she got married at the beginning of the year, she and Jia Zheng were also mixed with honey, otherwise how could they have three children in succession? At that time, there were piles of gold and jade, beads and silver chariots, and every happy day was as happy as he wished, thinking about the many benefits of Jia Zhengwen's thoughtfulness.
Now they all call the one surnamed Zhao!
Looking back at the past, the portal that has been operating for a hundred years is also overstretched, and now the whole family relies on her Yuanchun.
And her Yuan Chun has not been seen for ten years now, how can she, a mother, not be heartbroken?
Therefore, her sad expression did indeed exude her true feelings of sadness, which touched Jia's mother, who was old and lost her daughter.
"Old lady!" Mrs. Wang choked up and said, "In case Niangniang has something in the palace, is there still a lintel of our huge Guogong Mansion to see?" ”
As he spoke, he told Jia's mother the recent piles and large expenses one by one, especially the sentence: Eunuch Xia is more and more disregarded about the face of the master, and every time he comes, he just brings one or two nonsense sentences, and he has to scavenge one or two thousand taels from the house.
It made Jia Mu shake.
She remembered that when she was young, her father always calmly told her the stories on the "Tongjian". Over time, the rise and fall of the dynasties, the gains and losses of the family, she will have a general understanding of the chest. And those past events of the change of authority and the killing of courtiers are also roughly known.
Ning and Rong also did His Majesty's humerus back then, but now His Majesty is old, and the second prince is far away, can Jia Shi and his family still draw out the humerus? Thinking like this, the old lady broke out in a cold sweat, never thought that one day she would face the threat of being controlled by others in this "change of power"!
"Where are Zheng'er and Yu'er today?" The old lady asked, frowning.
Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and sneered slightly: "I said that I was going to visit the lake, but whenever I had some free time, I said that I was going to go to the green to find Fang, I see, the flowers, the flowers are not rewarded, and there may be fox spirits outside that people can't get out!" ”
The old lady didn't think much of Mrs. Wang's scathing and sarcastic tone, but what she said pierced the tip of Jia's mother's heart. Jia pardon Jia Zheng is useless, one is addicted to wine, the other is mediocre, and the only ability is to get two outstanding children, Yuan Chun and Baoyu.
Therefore, even the old lady who dotes on her children for a long time can't help but take a sip: "These two people are really not things!" ”
Mrs. Wang doesn't care about the situation of her husband's family, she has outstanding children, capable brothers, and a dowry like mountains and seas, where is she really afraid of Jia Zheng's face?
But she immediately followed suit and scolded.
Fortunately, the old lady interrupted, and the butler's pair of cards and the bad daughter-in-law were completely sent away.
"Is what the second wife said true? Is it really that serious? The mandarin duck removed the cold bird's nest porridge, replaced it with a new six-way side dish, and asked calmly.
The old lady knew what she was asking, waved her hand to indicate that she didn't want to eat, and said slowly: "It's a little true, but it shouldn't be so serious, people like us, as long as they don't be greedy for the dragon's work, there is no reason to capsize." It's just that something happened and she felt bad. ”
After thinking about it, he said: "Speaking of which, your second master is really not like a word, mandarin duck, you should pick and choose, make a gift to the second wife, and let her be relieved." ”
The old lady's voice was resolute, and it was clear that she didn't want to be a housekeeper. There is Yuan Chun in the palace, and even the granddaughter-in-law can take care of things at home, but she is afraid that things will not be done well, and the disaster will be the first to happen.
Thinking about it, a tear spilled out of the corner of his cloudy eye, and then he fell on his side on the lap chair with a clatter.
"Old lady!" The mandarin duck was so frightened that his eyes were red, and he immediately shouted loudly to ask for the royal doctor, go and ask the imperial doctor!
When the two Jia Zheng brothers arrived at Jia's mother's house, the girls and young masters in the courtyard stood in a courtyard, and even Jia Lan, a child who didn't often go out in Su Ri, stood aside tremblingly holding the table.
Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Lan and walked into the house with his feet raised.
When I arrived at the Dongnuan Pavilion, I looked in from between the curtains, and saw the old lady lying on a soft chair, stretching out a hand, asking the princess to check the pulse.
Xu rushed over from the Tai Hospital, Imperial Doctor Wang was dressed in a dark blue official uniform, with a stilted posture, looking at his nose and nose, his face was solemn and calm, but the sweat drops on his forehead and the three fingers on his wrist trembled slightly.
This made Daiyu, who was guarding in front of her, feel uneasy, if it wasn't for the bad pulse, the imperial doctor wouldn't have to be so frightened.
She continued to wipe the action, silently observing the people present, the wives and girls almost saw the state of the imperial doctor, the strange things in the air were swimming, everyone looked like they didn't dare to breathe, so quiet that they seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeat.
The tense atmosphere was accompanied by a sigh from Imperial Physician Wang, which frightened everyone into raising their hearts and almost jumping out of their throats.
Mrs. Wang pinched her handkerchief and silently recited a few words of Amitabha Buddha in the air, and hurriedly asked, "How?" ”
Imperial Physician Wang bowed to the old lady, bowed his head to the Jia Yu brothers, and said, "The old lady is fine. ”
These words were like a spring breeze, and the robe in the room was like a thawing glacier, and first of all, Jia Zheng took a few steps forward, almost kneeling in front of the old lady.
He looked at the old lady with admiration and said affectionately, "Mother." ”
Jia Yu pulled the imperial doctor and asked, "The old lady fainted today, what is the reason?" You just say it, let us rest assured. ”
The imperial physician is a person in the palace, and the people he deals with in Su Ri are all His Majesty's imperial concubines, and he has his own three-point art of speaking, and he never dares to pack tickets with nails, so he has to read it with a blanket look: "Now that the beginning of summer has passed, it is the season when the sun is flourishing in the earth, and the blood is spilling." The old lady fainted, all because of fatigue and sadness. ”
"So, how to cure it?"
"Naturally, meditation and recuperation come first, and the medicine is just an adjunct, and Mrs. Tai is old......
"Rest! Rest! Jia Yu suddenly took off his hat and said violently: "I think you can only say these two words!" ”
Imperial Physician Wang felt that he was right, but he also made the coercion of the grandfather of the country so suppressed that he didn't dare to speak, so he had to reluctantly rummage through the medicine box he carried with him, trying to write down today's pulse.
Fortunately, the old lady was still awake, and she spoke out to stop it, so as not to cause an even more ugly stalemate. So Mrs. Wang stepped forward and said, "Please ask the imperial doctor to drink tea, and it is better to meditate on the prescription." ”
The old lady got the steps and hurriedly went to the cubicle, and at this moment, Lai led Lai Shangrong to Jia's mother's house.
