The husband of the Red Chamber is upright

In this dynasty, there is no precedent for the prince to open another mansion, so there are no plaques on the gates of the houses of Qin Shu and Jia Lin.Originally, it is also possible to directly name "Yingfu", but Qin Shu is not very willing to admit this surname in his heart, so that's all.As for the "Jia Mansion", don't say whether Jia Lin is willing or not, since this house was given to Qin Shu, his identity cannot be placed on the plaque until Jia Lin has not worshiped the prime minister as a marquis.

Fortunately, this mansion is the mansion of a very favored princess in the previous dynasty, so not only is the scenery beautiful, but it also occupies a large area, almost occupying most of the alley.And this alley was originally called Xinglin alley.Therefore, even if there is no plaque on the gate, generally speaking of "the household that lives in Xinglin Hutong", everyone will know that it is the residence of Prince Zhongrui.

Also because it is a princess mansion, there are not many buildings.After the Holy Majesty bestowed this on Qin Shu, some buildings were directly demolished and a large training ground was built during the reconstruction.This has resulted in a situation where there are not many vacant yards in the mansion.Mrs. Zhou lived in one of the smaller and more secluded yards, and had to prepare a yard for guests (such as Shui Ying who often came uninvited), and reserved a yard for Qin Shu’s adoptive father, King Zhongrui... Even if Jia Lin wants to live separately from Qin Shu, there is no yard for him to live in.

As for the servants, the steward of the outer courtyard is surnamed Gu. On the surface, they were sent by King Zhongshun, but in fact they were sent by the Seventh Prince. Regardless of whether the Seventh Prince cared about his nephew or was tempted, Qin Shu and Jia Lin directly used this person - it is still very important to show loyalty to the future emperor.The affairs of the inner courtyard are temporarily taken care of by Nanny Shi - Nanny Shi is the one who taught Jia Lin's biological mother Zhou's rules.

When Jia Lin came out of the clan, there were two Zhuangzi, one was the Zhuangzi who he used to go to chant scriptures and became a vegetarian, and the other was Mrs. Wang who had calculated that it would occupy a large area but actually had little production. handed over to him.Jia Lin handed over all the outside affairs to Wu Fu, and instead sent Chen Ping, who had been trusted by him before, to the army. She was still only served by Xiao Qi and Chen An.

As for the maids serving in the master's yard, except for Zhou's making up for the first maid and other maids according to the old lady's example, Qin Shu and Jia Lin's yard did not add anyone, that is, Fu'er, Lu, etc. There are four pens, inks, papers and inkstones.The first two are first-class, the last four are second-class, and there are no third-class maids for the time being.Apart from these six girls, there are only some nurses in the yard who have passed the flowering period.Even the well-behaved Nanny Shi didn't say anything, but she understood that the two men just got married and added too many daughters. If they met big-hearted ones, it would not be beautiful.

In addition, there are those who are rewarded according to the rules. These people will not be reused until they don't know where they came from.In addition, Xincai bought some servants, and now they are all tuned and taught by Uncle Quan.Uncle Quan is getting old, Qin Shu cares about his body and doesn't want to make him tired, but he can't sit still, so he entrusts him with the transfer and teaching of newcomers.

After Jia Lin came back from Yunxiang Pavilion, she went to Zhou's yard first.There are four kinds of snacks he packed, two of which happened to be Zhou's favorite, and the other two were brought to Qin Shu.Seeing Jia Lin coming in with big and small bags, Mrs. Zhou laughed first, and said, "You know how to treat the prince like a child!"

Zhou used to learn the rules of slaves, but now he wants to learn the rules of the old lady, so he doesn't have much free time.Jia Lin was a little guilty, but, in this era, it is rare for the Zhou family to be free, so why not ask her to marry another one?This is a widow before the age of 40... From the perspective of modern people, it is indeed a bit unkind.In this way, Jia Lin also let Zhou learn the rules, which at least allowed her to pass the time.

Zhou didn't recognize Qin Shu as the poor child she met in the early years, so she didn't know about the friendship between Jia Lin and Qin Shu.Although Qin Shu didn't look down on her identity when facing her, but rather respected her, looking at Qin Shu's tall and tall appearance, Zhou Shi still felt a little worried for Jia Lin.In case something happens, it's obvious that Jia Lin can't beat it!Look at Qin Shu's long legs, well, even Jia Lin can't run.

After getting along for a while, Zhou Shi started to worry about Qin Shu instead.My family knows my own family affairs. Compared with Jia Lin, Qin Shu is too honest.

Mrs. Zhou asked Xi Cui to bring the dim sum down and put it on a plate. Seeing that there was no one in the room, she grabbed Jia Lin's hand, took him aside and whispered: "I think the prince treats you very well now, so you will also Rein in your temper... In the future, when you have sex with a woman, even if a woman can't be a regular wife, it is better to have children than not to have children. In fact, the relationship between husband and wife is the most unbearable to be stirred up by a third person .So, don’t neglect your homework. As a man, you should get a solid reputation. When you are promoted to an official position in the future, you will have the confidence to speak and do things.”

After a pause, Aunt Zhou said again with a troubled face: "I have dreamed of Mrs. Xian in my dreams these few days, and she even thanked me. I only thank you for taking care of me, Second Master Lian. , love, and tears. When Mrs. Xian was in charge, I was serving Mrs. Jia, and I was just familiar with Mrs. Xian. Only now I dream of her, but I can understand her motherly heart When I think about her again, I feel that she has become kinder. When I think about it, I also think about the events before and after Mrs. Xian's death, and I always feel that she went a little strangely."

"Second Master Lian also had an elder brother who was a direct relative. He was called Brother Hu, and he was also a smart child. He was well-raised until he was six or seven years old. Who would have thought that Brother Hu would go away just like that when there was a cold in autumn. At that time, Mrs. Xian was pregnant with the second master Lian in her belly... Mrs. Xian said on the face of it that because brother Hu died of illness, she was too worried, which made her weak and died of dystocia. But What's going on here, who knows? There will be no one who serves her around in a few months! And from the death of brother Hu to the birth of Mrs. Xian, in the past few months, the housekeeper has no power. In the hands of the second lady!"

"There is one more thing. Mrs. Xian used to have a very capable old nanny by her side, but because of Brother Hu's illness, I don't know how it was involved. Mrs. Xian took the anger out on that nanny and told her After that, the most powerful person around Mrs. Xian became a big maid brought by her natal family. However, that big maid has a big heart. I hooked Master Xi... I thought, if this maid had bad intentions... By the way, then the maid died in childbirth too, she is Miss Yingchun's biological mother." In other words, if this maid She was a bad-hearted person who once harmed her master, so she either died of karma or was silenced.

After saying these words, Mrs. Zhou paused for a while, and then said: "Of course, these are my own thoughts. I shouldn't tell you such unsubstantiated things, but I keep it in my heart and turn it over and over again." I’ve gone through it several times, and I still feel uneasy, not to mention.”

When Mrs. Zhou was serving by Mother Jia's side, she could see that the old lady was always partial to the second wife.But Mrs. Xian is also the daughter of a hundred-year-old family. She is a righteous and well-behaved mistress.Although the old Duke didn't care about the affairs of the inner court, as soon as Mrs. Xian got married, he sent a message to give the rights to his daughter-in-law.At that time, the old lady was praised by the superiors. The first lady seemed to be very filial, but the power of housekeeper was firmly in her own hands.

The old lady treats the eldest lady very well, she is very affectionate when she talks normally, she looks like a mother and daughter, but the second lady is like the current Mrs Xing, she doesn't like to talk much.But it's all about face.

Because the eldest master is not as good as the second master in terms of education and conduct, the eldest lady is better and stronger. The old lady also said that she loves her female celebrity very much, so the first lady makes some clothes for the old lady by herself every year. .If things go on like this, the body will naturally be exhausted.However, the old madam used the excuse that her housekeeper was tired, saying that there must be no one around to serve her, and she gave many beautiful and heart-warming maids to Master Xi.

Thinking of these things, Mrs. Zhou felt embarrassed. Mrs. Xian's life...was pitiful.

Jia Lin frowned. Even if what her mother said was true, the death of Jia Lian's biological mother was inseparable from Mrs. Wang—even Jia's mother—but it has been sixteen or seventeen years, and the evidence has been censored. Almost wiped out.There is absolutely no breakthrough to investigate this matter!

Besides, even if you want to investigate, you should ask Jia Lian to investigate by himself.He has nothing to do with Jia's house now, so he doesn't need to hold Jia's house anymore.

——You are too naive, the Jia family will soon stick to you again.

Seeing that Jia Lin frowned, Mrs. Zhou immediately said: "If you find it troublesome... I can just burn incense and chant scriptures for Mrs. Xian, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the friendship she dreamed of." She is a typical ancient woman, When married, obey the husband, and when the husband dies, obey the son.Now, she only thinks that she has no husband, so everything is up to Jia Lin.

Jia Lin's heart softened, and she said: "Mother, I still have some private contacts with Lian's second brother. We might as well tell this to Lian's second brother. After all, there are still some old people in the mansion, and now it's Lian's second sister-in-law again." Housekeeper, he is better than outsiders like us when he checks it himself. To be honest, the old Duke has quite a few concubines, but there are only two concubines who have lived to adulthood except for two sons and daughters Now, I think Mrs. Jia must have some unscrupulous means in private. If Mrs. Xian was really killed, then the one in front of Lian's second elder brother might go too... These two lives are at stake. There, Lian's second elder brother couldn't sue his grandmother because of his filial piety, but the late wife's natal family was able to hand over the pleadings."

"That's true... However, it's not easy for the Second Mistress Lian to know about this matter. Even though she can agree with the Second Master Lian and his wife, she is a daughter from the Wang family. If the Second Mistress is charged with murdering the elder sister-in-law , then the Wang family’s daughter doesn’t have to be a human anymore. She has a plan in mind, so naturally she won’t hurt the enemy one thousand and self-damage eight hundred.” Zhou Shi said so, let the matter go, and it happened that Xi Cui will After the snacks were served on the plates, the mother and son turned to talk about other things.
