The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Liu stroked her stomach sweetly, saying that the fetal image was very stable, "The doctor said that we just need to rest, so the mother-in-law asked the younger siblings to help with housekeeping."

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, her eyes gleamed, she glanced at Infinite Style, and said bitterly, "What's there to say? Since you are pregnant, what's wrong with younger siblings and housekeepers? As long as you give birth safely, Can the younger siblings in the next room shake your position?..." Concubine Shu is not a talkative person, and she can't help but talk non-stop when it comes to this younger sister who was almost raised by herself, like Like an old lady.

Listening to her sister's familiar nagging, Liu couldn't help showing a smile.When her elder sister got married, she was only eleven or twelve years old. It was not until the new emperor ascended the throne that her elder sister was conferred the title of concubine Shu, and the two sisters reunited.I remember the first time we met, her mother-in-law brought her in.When she knelt down to pay her respects, she felt for no reason that the person with gorgeous clothes, imposing manner and indifferent expression was not her elder sister.Later, only the two sisters were there, and Concubine Shu gently called out "Fu'er...", and when tears streamed down her face, Liu Shi felt that her sister had returned.

Therefore, hearing her sister's nagging concern, Liu's heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, and she couldn't help smiling.However, what Enhou said was too shocking, she promised not to tell it, but she couldn't explain it to her sister.

Fortunately, Concubine Shu didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

Mrs. Liu thought that it was rare for her to enter the palace, but she came to bother her sister, so she whispered embarrassingly: "I want to ask my sister to give me a nanny."

Concubine Shu confirmed it suspiciously, then asked Mammy what it was useful for, and after much deliberation, she called people in and passed on Madam Liu and Madam Tang.In a moment, two old nuns came in.

A smiling and very kind, with a broad heart and a fat body, even the wrinkles on his face are not too obvious.A thin man with deep nasolabial folds and a stern face looks very difficult to get along with.

Concubine Shu introduced: "These are two mothers Liu and Tang. Mother Liu is good at nursing and taking care of people. She took care of me when I was pregnant with Pingting and Cai Cai; Mother Tang was good at regulating and teaching me. Maid girl, half of the people in my palace were transferred and taught by her. I heard that the servants of the Jia family are very shameful, so I am relieved to ask her to help you manage the yard." Seeing Liu's desire Concubine Shu stopped talking, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, these two nuns have already adjusted and taught the successors, even if you don't mention it, I will let them go out for the elderly in the past two years."

When Liu and Madam Tang heard this, they didn't understand. They looked at each other, and there was a lot of joy in their eyes.Fools know how to choose between living in Zhuangzi and going to Jia's family for the elderly.Although he still has to serve Mrs. Liu, how can the secrets of the Duke's Mansion compare to the cannibal palace?Working in a minister's house, they are leisurely and decent, if Mrs. Liu did not speak up, such a great thing would not have happened to them.

The two came forward to thank each other tactfully.Concubine Shu nodded in satisfaction, thinking about the arrangements of the palace servants, and exchanged a few words with Mrs. Liu.When Mrs. Liu came out, she saw the two nuns packed up their things and waited outside.

Back at Lanfangyuan, Zhu Mei greeted her. "The eldest mistress is back, brother Hu is arguing to see grandma." Zhu Mei said, looking curiously at the two old mothers who followed behind the eldest mistress.

Seeing this, Mother Tang frowned.

Liu asked, "Where is brother?"

Zhu Mei smiled and said: "My brother saw that grandma hadn't come back for a long time, so I went to the uncle's study after lunch. My brother told the servants that you must inform him when grandma is back." Mrs. Liu said that she would see her after dinner. Don't bother my brother.Zhu Mei answered softly.

"Cui Liu, ask someone to clean the west wing," Mrs. Liu then ordered, "Bi He, call all the maids and mothers-in-law in the courtyard." Bi He Cui Liu responded and hurried to work.

Mrs. Liu entered the room and took a sip of tea made from snow lotus to moisten her throat.Sitting in a carriage from the imperial palace to Ningrong Street, I talked with the two nuns along the way, and I was inevitably thirsty.

"You all stand back, I have something to talk to the two nuns." Putting down the teacup, Liu closed his eyes and said a little tiredly.

Standing beside Mrs. Liu, Zhu Mei and Xue Lian silently bowed their knees and retreated with the second-class maids who were serving them.

Zhu Mei stood in the corridor and asked, "What's going on with those two old nuns?"

Xuelian shook her head, expressing that she didn't know, and left with the second-class one named Yingsong.

Zhu Mei spat: "What a frivolous little hoof, but it depends on how to make tea."

A man named Liu Yun said with a smile: "Sister, why should you take it to heart? Who doesn't know that Sister Xuelian will go to my brother's place sooner or later?"

Zhu Mei glanced at her, sneered, and said, "Why did you take care of our affairs?" After finishing speaking, she stood there looking at the flowers and ignored her.

Liu Yun said embarrassingly on his face.Liu Yun thought angrily, she saw that Zhu Mei and Xue Lian seemed to be at odds with each other, how could she have thought that Zhu Mei and Xue Lian were a villain for nothing.

There was a moment of silence in the hallway.Zhu Mei's thoughts were complicated, she wondered for a while whether those two old nuns would affect her status; for a while she thought about Xuelian, wondering why she wanted to go to her brother's place, they were ten years apart!She was engrossed in her thoughts, but suddenly someone patted her on the shoulder.Zhu Mei was taken aback!Her heart was beating wildly, and she saw in shock that it was Bi He.

Zhu Mei complained: "Good job Bihe, you gave me a fright!"

Cui Liu from that side interjected: "Sister Bihe called you a few times, but you never should!"

Bi He only smiled slightly, and asked gently: "What are you thinking, so lost in thought?"

Zhu Mei said, "I'm thinking about Sister Xuelian."

When Cui Liu heard this sentence, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.Bi He, Zhu Mei, She and Xue Lian are the four maidservants beside the young mistress. Bi He is calm and Zhu Mei is shrewd. These two are the young mistress' most reliance, she and Xue Lian are both backwards.The four of them were all promoted from the second class, so they are all the same according to reason, it's fine for Zhu Mei and Bi He to be closer, why Xue Lian is also on good terms with them!

Fortunately, when the uncle goes to live in the outer courtyard, Xue Lian will follow, and the new one will be called her elder sister by then!Cui Liu thought secretly, Xue Lian is really unlucky, she is the most beautiful one, and the uncle also likes it, but why she wants to go to her brother at this time.

Bi He didn't say anything, just said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and sister Xue Lian is also helpless." When Zhu Mei was no longer angry about this matter, she would understand.He asked again: "Cui Liu, has the wing room been cleaned?"

Of course, it is not cleaning in the general sense. In addition to cleaning the dust, some tables and chairs have to be moved from the warehouse.Cui Liu is arranged according to the treatment of the eldest grandma's nanny.

At this time, other waiters in the yard also came.Mrs. Liu lives in the main room of Lanfang Court, brother Hu lives in the east room, four maids live in the west room, and the other maids and wives in the courtyard live in the back.There is a hall in the main house, which is the place where Liu's housekeeper and his daughters-in-law talk back.However, there was no room for so many people, so everyone stayed in the open space of a small garden surrounded by the main house and the east and west wing rooms.

Cui Liu nodded.Bihe also smiled and said that everyone had been notified.Not long after, Xuelian also came back, and I don't know why she went back.Several people were talking in low voices, looking into the yard from time to time.There were dozens of people in the yard, but it was not noisy at all. Everyone stood holding their breath.

I don't know what Mrs. Liu talked with the two nuns, but they came out two quarters of an hour later.Zhu Mei Bihe hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Shi.

Mrs. Liu waved her hand and told them to stand aside.She looked around, briefly said that Madam Tang would be in charge of supervising them, and let everyone disperse.

After the two nuns were settled, they heard the little maid notifying: "The lady passed the meal!"

Mrs. Liu always took Zhu Mei and Xuelian with her when she went to Rongxi Hall, and it was the same today, but the two nuns took them with them before they even saw their wife.

In Rongxi Hall, Jia's mother was thinking angrily. When she greeted her in the morning, Mrs. Liu said about entering the palace. She thought she was just announcing the good news to Concubine Shu, thinking that deepening ties with Concubine Shu would be good for Jia's family, so she didn't stop her. .who knows!When she came out, there were two more nuns!Does Mrs. Liu regard my Jia family as a dragon's pond and a tiger's den?hateful!The people who have been arranged recently can't get close to Jia Hu's body, and it's hard to get in touch with the nails who were arranged in the boss's yard before... Thinking of this, Mother Jia suppressed the joy on her lips, that idiot Liu can't manage the yard well, look It was right to come and take away the stewardship from her.

Before eating, I was going to question Mrs. Liu, but who knew that as soon as Mother Jia opened her mouth, the two old nuns came out to salute and said hello together: "Greetings to the old lady!"

Now that you have entered the door of my Jia family, you are naturally a servant of the Jia family.Mother Jia thought so, so she didn't cry.

Nanny Liu and Nanny Tang are not vegetarians, if they accept this kind of power, they will not have much majesty in Jia's mansion.Liu Mama spoke first: "Old lady, Concubine Shu asked the servant to say hello to the old lady on her behalf." Jia's mother was slightly moved, but she still didn't call out.

Nanny Tang responded: "Concubine Shu is very worried about Eldest Mistress's health when she sees Eldest Mistress, so she specially sent us to take care of Eldest Mistress, and please forgive us for coming here uninvited."

pardon?Mother Jia can't afford it.She also didn't want to tear herself apart with her eldest daughter-in-law, so she calmly asked them to get up.

Consciously suffering a loss, Jia's mother came up with a good idea.

☆、The question of appellation

While eating, Mrs. Liu had been picking up vegetables for Jia Mu and Jia Min. Jia Guogong looked at Jia Mu several times, and seeing that she still didn't intend to let Mrs. Liu back down, he couldn't help but said, "Master, since you have a fetal image If you are not stable, you don't have to wait on your mother-in-law, just sit down and eat."

Liu Shi smiled softly, and without saying anything to smooth things over, she went back to her seat and sat down.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant, Jia Min looked at everyone at a loss, not understanding why the eldest sister-in-law was so delicate, but the second sister-in-law was pregnant until July and August, and Jia Mu only let her rest.

Jia Min opened her mouth to say something, but Jia's mother interrupted her, "Master, if I don't say anything, I almost forgot about it, and everyone, you don't remind me."

The people in the big room were silent.How can a daughter-in-law say that serving her mother-in-law is too tiring.Mother Jia wanted to step down the steps for herself, so she went down. Anyway, Dafang was beaten on the left cheek, so she wouldn't send the right cheek to her.

Jia Daishan said annoyedly: "Okay, let's eat!"

After the meal, Mother Jia raised her lips slightly when she thought of that good idea.She said, "Yuanyang, bring the eldest brother here."

A large group of people looked at Jia Hu in unison, Jia Hu looked back innocently, and then everyone suddenly remembered that the second room had a brother, who was the eldest son of the second room.

Jia Daishan frowned, and said, "What's your name, elder brother? Brother Hu is the eldest grandson!"

Jia's mother was displeased, and restrained herself, she said, "I called him wrong for a while, after all, he is the first grandson I raised. Could it be called my second elder brother? How ugly!" After finishing speaking, before Jia Daishan could speak, she said, "Now The second grandchild of the mansion has come out, shouldn't the name of the mansion be changed?"

It's really not good to always call brother and brother, lest the servants lose respect for the master.Jia Daishan glanced at Nanny Lai, Jia Mu's companion, and agreed.

Jia's mother was overjoyed and said, "Then I am an old lady. Old lady, in my opinion, the second family will be separated sooner or later. It is better for the children of the two families to be ranked separately."

Ranked separately?Jia Daishan took a look at his wife, quite surprised that she had the consciousness that the second wife would separate sooner or later.Considering the rare closeness of his wife to the big house, Jia Daishan agreed even though it was unreasonable.

Jia Amnesty's face turned dark. Don't think he didn't know what Jia's mother was up to. Isn't it just that when Jia Zhu grows up and goes out to socialize, can he be introduced as "the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion"?It's a pity that those who can be confused by this name are those who are not on the stage, and the real princes and nobles will only look down on the second wife who has exposed their ambitions.

Not to mention now, even in the past, Jia She didn't pay attention to these little tricks of the housewife. Jia She smiled coldly, but if it endangered the lives of his family, he would be happy to make a decision in line with the clan.

If they separate, they will separate, Jia She nods indifferently.

The matter is thus established.

Jia's mother said: "Second brother's family, you order to go down and ask the servant to change his words."

Mrs. Wang stood up and said yes.Her nails dug deep into her palms, and her heart was eroded by jealousy.Mrs. Liu just picked up a few chopsticks, and the Duke of the country told her to rest, what about me?The youngest son and daughter-in-law named mother-in-law's favorite, just out of confinement, but served her mother-in-law from beginning to end, and no one asked a word.It's all because Jia Zheng can't accept the title!

This useless man thought he would have some tricks, but unexpectedly, he was just her mother-in-law's echo!

Of course, Jia Zheng didn't think so. He taught Mrs. Wang: "Mrs. Wang, since your mother has entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility, you should behave accordingly. Why are you acting so wronged!"

Mrs. Wang's expression was distorted, but she quickly calmed down again.She looked at the child in the arms of a daughter-in-law, and for this child, she had to flatter Jia Mu with a smile.The atmosphere in Rongxi Hall soon eased. Jia Daishan and Dafang's family left, only Mrs. Wang's witty and brisk voice could be heard, along with Jia's mother's loud laughter, and Jia Min's joy at being flattered. Smile reservedly.

Mrs. Wang's whole heart seemed to be soaked in cold water. The two mothers and daughters in front of her looked at her as if they were watching a joke.Isn't she just a joker?However, someone soon came to amuse her.I don't know what Jia Min said, Madam Wang also picked up her handkerchief and giggled.

Back at Lanfangyuan, Zhu Mei came out to greet her, and said with a smile, "Grandma is back! My brother is back too!"

Entering the main room, Jia Hu couldn't help showing off: "Zhu Mei, you're going to call me uncle from now on!"

Several maidservants burst out laughing, this one said with a smile: "That's right, it's time to call you uncle!"

The other said: "There is an uncle in the first room, and there is an uncle in the second room. How can we tell the difference?"

At this time, Xia He said, "Just call me Uncle Hu. It's the old rules in the house."

As soon as she said that, everyone giggled, and a few even came forward and knelt, "I've seen Mr. Hu!" After finishing speaking, they hurried back to the group of sisters, laughing together.

Jia Hu just watched indulgently.In his eyes, these are little girls, just joking, nothing to worry about.

Bi He took Liu Shi's cloak, helped her into the inner room, and said with a smile: "You narrow-minded ghosts, don't stop talking, go make tea for your wife and uncle."

These few replied: "Hey, there is water on the stove, and Sister Xuelian is making tea." "Let's go get some water!"

A few arched wives entered the inner room, Xia He and the others went to the East Wing, and many of them scattered around to do errands.

After returning from her mother, Jia Hu went back to the East Wing.Jia Hu was never used to the big fish and meat at Jia Mu's place, so he only ate a little bit, and he was filling his stomach with snacks at this time.In golden autumn, it is a good time to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cakes. The yard is filled with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers. Jia Hu is eating the sweet but not greasy osmanthus cakes comfortably.

After eating a few pieces, Xia He told him not to eat, "to prevent accumulation of food."

Jia Hu picked up the teacup and sniffed it, tasted it, and said disappointedly, "Where did the water come from? It's too cold, spoiling my tea leaves."

It was Chun Yu who made the tea, she pursed her lips and smiled: "It's the well water in our courtyard, can you tell from this?"

Jia Hu looked at her and shook his head: "Oh, I'll just drink it. I just wait for the snow lotus from mother's yard to come over, I don't need you stupid girls anymore!"

Chun Yu wasn't annoyed, she just saw that the uncle was disgusted, but he still drank it, and she didn't ask, otherwise the uncle's answer would be "tea to quench your thirst, what's so particular about it?"

The uncle is a contradictory person: he has a sharp tongue, he can drink good or bad tea, but he still drinks it if the tea is not good; , He didn't care about it, and he was merciless in punishing people.

There are quite a few maids here, and almost all of them have been punished before, and none of them were punished wrongly. The wife is also relieved to let the uncle take care of the maids in her room.Xia Yu has figured out the way, as long as he does things well, the uncle will not easily punish people.

Jia Hu was still too young, so Liu was worried about him taking a bath alone.He also likes to be clean, and if he doesn't wash for a day, it's very uncomfortable. Therefore, taking a bath under the service of a maid can be said to be a traumatic thing for Jia Hu's body and mind.

I've been seen again, when will I grow up.Jia Hu fell asleep with infinite resentment.

At the beginning of August, the entire Duke's Mansion was busy for Jia Zheng's examination.Because of Jia Daishan's relationship, Jia Zheng was able to enter the Guozijian, and he took the exam directly in the capital.There had never been a Juren in the West Mansion, so Jia Daishan prepared the ceremony and went to the East Mansion to ask Jia Jing for advice.

Jia Hu had known for a long time that Jia Zheng was a ostentatious guy, so he just watched with cold eyes as Jia's mother happily prepared the utensils.Jia Amnesty is also there, just waiting for Jia Zheng to laugh at him when he fails the ranking.Jia Zheng was very nervous. He had been staying in the study room since July, so Mrs. Wang hated the two little fairies in the study room.

On the eighth day of August, I entered the examination room.The exam will be divided into three sessions, which will be held on August [-]th, [-]th and [-]th.Jia Hu deliberately went to find out about the exam situation. After the nine-day exam, when the smelly and emaciated Jia Zheng was carried out, Jia Hu couldn't help shivering. At the same time, he silently decided that when he started practicing martial arts, he must Go the extra mile.

Soon, it was time for Qiu Wei to release the list.

The word release of the list first came from Li Nao's "Qin Zhong Sui Shi Ji" in the Tang Dynasty: "In the eighth year of Taihe, when the list was released, there was a poem written by Wu Mingzi: 'The beggar is still a good year, and the 23 people have all the bowls and sticks.' "Huang Tao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote a poem "The Day of Announcing the List": I am the most praiseworthy scholar in the Tang Dynasty, and the fairy list is named Shuxia.A white horse whistling with thirty bridles, and a thousand rich families holding candles.

Once the rankings are released, some people will "be proud of the horseshoe disease, and see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day", and some will be as crazy as Fan Jinzhongju, and more will lose their names. They can only pack their bags and take the exam after three years.Unfortunately, Jia Zheng is the last kind of person.

On the day when the results were announced, Mother Jia had been waiting in Rongxi Hall.

Jia Zheng has always been ill, and he is not recovering now.He supported his sick body and waited with his mother in Rongxi Hall.

It was Lai Da who was sent out to look at the list.

After a long time, wave after wave of officials who announced the good news passed in front of them, none of them stopped at Rongguo Mansion.

Finally, Lai Da came back, but what he brought back was not good news.

Jia Mu's sharp voice called out, "Are you sure? Did you see clearly?"

Lai Da kowtowed and said panickedly: "This old servant read it three or four times from the beginning to the end, but he couldn't find the second master's name." He secretly groaned in his heart, knowing that the second master was not selected, why did he ask for this job!

Jia Zheng's face was as white as snow, and his lips trembled: "No...impossible...impossible, I feel so good this time..." muttering to himself, insisting on waiting for the official messenger to announce the good news.

Mrs. Jia Muwang tried to persuade him, but Jia Zheng insisted on it.

Helpless, Jia Mu ordered someone to invite Jia Daishan.

Jia Daishan only asked the servant girl to bring a message: "In ancient times, many students have failed in the exams, and it is not uncommon for them to pass the exam! If my son can't even bear this setback, how will he become an official in the future!"

After Jia Zheng heard this, he seemed to have a new life, and he didn't ask Jia's mother to send him off. He left tremblingly, vowing to take care of himself and take the exam three years later.

☆, no wonder Mr. Zheng will fail

More than a month has passed since Qiu Wei, but Jia Zheng still dare not leave the room.Sometimes when he was walking on the road in the small garden, when he heard the voices of the servants, he thought they were talking about his failure; when he heard their laughter, he thought they were laughing at him.

Jia Zheng kept himself bored in the study room, and the sound of books could be heard from time to time. He seemed to be announcing to everyone in the mansion in this way: He is still the Mr. Zheng who loves to read!At the same time, the endless supply of supplements was carried from the Rongxi Hall into the second master's study, showing the mistress's preference for the youngest son.

As Mother Jia's most beloved youngest daughter, the relationship between Jia Min and her second brother is the best.One is that Jia Min prefers Jia Zheng, who can read books, and can occasionally talk about poetry; two, Jia She, who is doted on by his grandmother, is a bully who will not let others. Jia Min, who has been made to cry many times, has been taught by his grandmother. Naturally, he alienated this brother.

Well, the second elder brother is very sad when he loses the ranking. As a younger sister, it is inevitable that he should show some love.

One day, Jia Min tortured his mother and begged for an old ginseng to practice his hands.

Jia Muhu said with a face: "Nonsense! There is no life-saving thing for you to practice your hands."

After begging for a long time, Jia's mother still refused to let go, and only said that it would be fine to use the second-class one.

Jia Min had no choice but to confess: "Mom, this is for my second brother. It's shameful to use inferior ginseng."

Jia Mu scolded with a smile: "I just said that you are a girl who is reasonable on weekdays, why don't you refuse to let me go today." She twisted and turned in her arms.

Since it was not wasted, Mother Jia opened her own private treasury.They didn't give the whole root, but asked Yuanyang to cut it in half, saying: "It's not suitable to eat too much ginseng at one time, this is enough."

So Jia Min personally cooked the ginseng old hen soup, and ordered people to send it to Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng respectively.I took a copy and sent it to Jia Mu in person.

"My son's craftsmanship has improved again." Mother Jia caressed Jia Min distressedly, and held her in her arms. "The smell of fireworks in the kitchen is too strong, did it smoke you?"

Jia Min stayed obediently in Jia's mother's arms, and said with a smile, "Mother, Min'er only cooks occasionally, and has not been smoked."

"By the way, I have asked someone to deliver a copy to my second brother." Jia Min raised her head and said, "Second brother has been working hard in the study recently, and it is too hard."

"Your second brother isn't willing to admit defeat. No matter what, there are still three years left, so it's not too late." Mother Jia ordered Jia Zheng to be called here.

"I've met my mother." Jia Zheng came quickly, "I don't know what's the matter with your mother?"

"What, I can't see you if I have nothing to do?"

"My mother summoned me, but Zheng was worried about my mother's business. By the way, I would like to thank sister Min for the soup."

Jia Min smiled and dodged Jia Zheng's bow, "Brother beat me to shame, this hundred-year-old ginseng, or mother specially opened a private treasury to give it to me."

"It's also because of my sister's favor." Jia Zheng said with a smile.

"Second brother, don't say that. If I hadn't said that it was for my second brother to drink, my mother would not have answered me." Jia Min looked at Jia's mother pretending to be resentful.

Jia Zheng was even happier when he heard the words, "It's the heart of sister Min, and it's also the love of mother."

Mother Jia watched the two brothers and sisters get along with each other, very happy, "Okay, don't argue, I see, one of you thinks about your brother in everything, and the other loves your sister, you are both good children."

Jia Min's small mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, and said sweetly: "It's not because my mother taught me well!"

Mother Jia laughed when she heard this.

At this time, a little servant girl came in and said, "Old lady, a servant girl from Mr. Zheng's side is here. I need to find Mr. Zheng for something urgent."

Jia's mother was in high spirits, she didn't want Jia Zheng to leave, "let her in."

A maid came in, with a graceful figure and a pretty face. Jia Zheng saw that it was Nongmei from his study.Jia Zheng frowned subconsciously, and looked at the maid suspiciously, not knowing what was the matter.

Seeing that Nongmei knelt down and cried and said: "Master Zheng, it's not good, Wenzhu, she seems to have had a miscarriage!"

What!Mother Jia stood up in shock.

"Mother, Wen Zhu is a maid in my study, and Zheng'er doesn't know she's pregnant." Jia Zheng first explained to Jia's mother, and then asked Nong Mei, "What's the matter? Why didn't you say Wen Zhu was pregnant? Just now It's fine, why did you have a miscarriage again?"

Nongmei said: "Sister Wenzhu drank the tonic soup that was sent to the master's study. For some reason, she covered her stomach and screamed, and kept saying, 'My child...'. The servant girl had never heard of bamboo soup before. My sister said she was pregnant."

Feeling something was wrong, Mother Jia asked, "Who sent the tonic soup?" It's bad, she has given Zheng'er a lot of tonics recently, so it won't be taken advantage of?

Nongmei carefully glanced at Miss Min, Jia Min's eyelids twitched, it couldn't be...

"It's the ginseng soup sent by Miss Min."

Jia Min hurriedly said: "You are talking nonsense, the ginseng soup I stewed is for the body, how could it harm people!"

Her daughter knew that Min'er was not that kind of person, and it would not do her any good to harm the people around her brother.Mother Jia felt that there must be something weird about it.She raised her hand and asked someone to invite the doctor first, and then to inform Mrs. Wang, and then she took Jia Zheng to the maid.

Jia Min wanted to follow, but Jia's mother said, "That's your brother's roommate, what are you going to do?" She sent her away with a sentence of "not in accordance with the rules".

The maid was originally in Jia Zheng's study, when Mrs. Wang came and asked someone to carry her to an ear room in the west wing of the courtyard of the second room.The doctor checked the pulse there.

Mother Jia asked with concern, "How? Can the child be kept?"

The doctor shook his head.

Jia's mother was disappointed. She thought that the second room could have another child, but it seemed impossible.

Although Jia's mother only cared about the child, she would not let go of the murderer who caused the child to be lost. She asked politely, "Then why did this girl have a miscarriage?"

The doctor stroked his beard and said, "This servant girl has been pregnant for almost three months. Judging from the pulse, it seems that she has eaten something, but I'm not sure yet."

three months?This aroused Jia Mu's vigilance.But it can't be that there is something wrong with Min'er's ginseng soup, right?

There was still some ginseng soup that Wen Zhu drank, Yuanyang, the maid next to Jia Mu, brought it to the doctor.The doctor checked it carefully, and then came to the conclusion: "This is the five-element grass that was eaten by mistake."

Five elements grass?Mother Jia was astonished, she had never heard of such a thing.

The doctor explained: "If I hadn't seen a case of eating it by mistake in the countryside, I really didn't know it. Wuxingcao, also called purslane, is a common wild vegetable in the countryside, and poor people often eat it. "Compendium of Materia Medica" It is said to 'dissipate blood and reduce swelling, benefit intestines and prevent pregnancy, detoxify and relieve stranguria, and treat postpartum sweating'. This is something that promotes blood circulation, and pregnant women who eat this product are easy to cause pregnancy."

Mrs. Wang lowered her head, a dark light flashed in her eyes.I didn't expect this doctor to be very capable.

It was just a concubine, and Mother Jia didn't think that an unborn concubine or concubine could compare to her legitimate daughter.The truth came to light, and it wasn't Jia Min's intention. Mother Jia comforted Jia Zheng: "Zheng'er, your sister Min didn't expect this to happen. She just kindly sent you a ginseng soup. Unexpectedly, this maid not only drank it, She's pregnant too. Don't blame her!"

Jia Zheng Nuonuo should be.

Speaking of this, Mother Jia was a little bit angry with the girl, and the maid dared to eat the ginseng soup made by the master, maybe it was because the maid couldn't bear it.

After seeing off the doctor, Mother Jia lost her spirits, "That maid is called..."

"Smell bamboo." Yuanyang reminded in a low voice.

"Yes, Wen Zhu." Jia Mu said, "She is also suffering. I think it's better to open her face and put her in your room."

When this topic was brought up, everyone seemed to realize that Wen Zhu was a maid in Jia Zheng's study.Thinking about it carefully, when Wen Zhu was conceived, it was probably when Jia Zheng had just moved into the study and was about to prepare for Qiu Wei.

No wonder Mr. Zheng lost the ranking.The few maids and daughter-in-laws in the room who heard it from the beginning to the end couldn't help but think of this sentence.

Mrs. Wang made a gesture and slapped herself: "Look at me, I was negligent as the mistress, and my mother-in-law laughed at me. Wen Zhu's real name is Zhou, and she will be Aunt Zhou from now on." After speaking, she asked: "What do you think, master?" ?”

Jia Zheng nodded indifferently.

Mother Jia had already defined it in her heart as "a bloody incident caused by an ignorant maid who accidentally ate it", and was worried that Jia Zheng would be separated from Min'er because of this. Although the matter was still suspicious, she also vaguely knew who did it. hand, but didn't plan to check it any further, lest Min'er be embarrassed.

That was the end of the matter.

Later, Mother Jia only said that the maid didn't know she was pregnant and ate something that was not good for pregnant women, so she didn't do Jia Min's business.

Jia Min was still a little ashamed of his brother.

She didn't sleep well for several nights, and when she closed her eyes, she thought of the child that her brother might have.Jia Min comforted herself: What are you thinking about, it's not your fault; you meant it well, who knew that pregnant women couldn't drink the ginseng soup; besides, it was originally prepared for the second brother, who knew it would get in A maid's mouth?Thinking of this made me feel better.

One day after paying his respects, Jia Min left Rongxi Hall, looked at the back of the second elder brother in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and shouted: "Second elder brother stay!"

Hearing the sound, Jia Zheng turned around and found that it was Jia Min.He asked softly, "Sister Min, is something wrong?"

Jia Min's eyes turned red when he heard the second brother's somewhat alienated tone, "Second brother is still blaming Min'er?"

To be honest, Jia Min was born by Jia's mother Lao Mushengzhu, and the age difference between her two elder brothers is a bit big.Now Jia Zheng is married and has a son. Jia Min is still a little girl in her teens.Out of love for his sister, Jia Zheng would usually greet her, but when Jia Min was sensible, Jia Zheng had already moved to the outer courtyard, and the two of them only chatted occasionally, and there was no such thing as a deep friendship.

In Jia Zheng's heart, Aunt Zhou, who had been with him in the study for several years, was probably closer than this younger sister.

Jia Zheng said nothing.

Seeing this, Jia Min didn't understand, she burst into tears: "Second Brother, I really didn't mean to..."

Jia Zheng turned his head away, as if he couldn't bear it.

Realizing her gaffe, Jia Min wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Second brother, it's Min'er who made a mistake this time. Min'er shouldn't be so careless about the things you enter..."

His sister's sobbing voice came from behind him, and Jia Zheng thought it was just a little girl, so he sighed: "Sister Min, don't cry, I don't blame you."

Jia Min said in surprise, "Really?"

Jia Zheng scolded her with a straight face: "Min'er, this kind of thing can't happen next time. Have you ever thought that if I happened to be in the main courtyard, the person who drank it would be your pregnant second sister-in-law..."

It turned out that the second brother was worried about this. Jia Min really thought that the second brother was going to turn against her because of this aunt.She still admitted her mistake obediently, seeing Jia Zheng smiling at her with satisfaction, it was the first time that Jia Min felt that his second sister-in-law had taken away his second brother.

After Jia Zheng left, Jia Min stayed where he was, thinking in his heart: After all, the second brother is married...

After the autumn, it is the New Year.

For Jia Hu, the New Year is just kowtowing to the elders in the morning, receiving the red envelopes from the elders, and watching the night with the elders at night. It is the same. He still cannot practice martial arts or write, and his daily task is still to endorse.

Fortunately, he has almost read the characters and can read books by himself.On the eve of the new year, that is, the afternoon of New Year's Eve, the whole mansion was busy, Jia Hu was alone, so he slipped into his grandfather's study, looking for some books to pass the time.

Sliding his fingers across the rows of books, Jia Hu still remembered the first time he came here to look for books last year.

He asked his grandfather, "If you want to study history, what book should you read?"

There seemed to be a flash of surprise in Jia Daishan's eyes, "Why did Hu'er think of reading history books?" He thought that a child like Jia Hu who had just started reading would find some interesting books to read, such as "Shan Hai Jing"—a book he read when he was young. I like it very much.

Jia Hu was silent for a moment, reading history makes people wise - he originally wanted to say this, but felt that it didn't seem like a child's words.After thinking for a while, Jia Hu said: "When my mother was reading the Three Character Classic to me, I asked my mother who wrote it, and my mother said it was written by people from the Song Dynasty. When I asked what is "Song", my mother just said that it was written in the past I will understand when I study history.” In fact, Jia Hu wants to know, is this “Song” the “Song” he thinks of?

In Jia Hu's previous life, he had never been exposed to Chinese studies, and he only knew that the Chinese Enlightenment textbooks were San, Bai, Qian and Qiong
