Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 242
How should she ask?

I also came here when I was a young daughter-in-law.Back then, she was married for more than a year before she had her eldest son, Jia Hu. Before she entered the house, Jia She was already by Yingyingyanyan's side. She hadn't conceived for more than a year, and Jia's mother gave her a lot. As soon as they were born, all the concubines in Jia She's yard formed a platoon.

Jia Amnesty liked Jia Hu very much. When Jia Hu was young, he watched over him all day long, and rarely even went to his wife's yard. When the child was older, he often let the child ride his neck to the street to watch the excitement.Later, because Jia Hu was playing with one of his concubines, he slipped and fell into the pool and disappeared. Jia She then drove away all the concubines in the yard in a rage.

Now there are only Aunt Qi, Aunt Tong and Aunt He in his backyard.Among them, Aunt Qi is the mother-in-law of the concubine Jia Cong, but the other two are also honest people, and they don't cause much trouble.

Ling Xuan put away the thoughts that were drifting away, those past events would make her heart ache and her eyes sour, but there was nothing else.

This year, the weather was cold early, and the plum blossoms bloomed at the beginning of winter.A few days later, because the plum blossoms were in full bloom in the central garden of Ningfu in the east, Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, set out wine. Mansion, a small set of family banquets for female relatives.

During the dinner, Mother Jia praised Qin Keqing severely, but complained that both Keqing and Wu Linzhu were excellent, but their stomachs were too worrying.

The words, even though they were jokes, sounded like a hop in Ling Xuan's ears.Sure enough, when she came back in the evening, Mother Jia called Zhang Lingxuan to her again and talked about taking a concubine for Jia Lian.

Zhang Lingxuan refused without even thinking about it. The reason was very good. Lian'er had to prepare for the scientific examination, and it was enough to have Wu Linzhu to serve her, so as not to be like Jia Zhu and get angry because of the concubine.

Although Ling Xuan said this with a smile, she was also very rude. Jia's mother immediately lowered her face, not daring to be very choked up, but said she was tired, and sent Ling Xuan back.

As soon as Zhang Lingxuan entered the courtyard, she ordered someone to call Wu Linzhu, and sat there by herself, angry at what Jiamu said just now.

"Ma'am..." Wu Linzhu came, seeing Zhang Lingxuan's expression was not good, and she yelled several times but she didn't respond, so she raised her voice.

Zhang Lingxuan came back to her senses, and turned to look at Wu Linzhu in front of her again. She looked at herself so timidly, just like she looked at Mother Jia back then.She sighed in her heart and said: "Son, you don't have to be so afraid of me. I came here today to talk to you, not to reprimand you. Besides, what do you have for me to reprimand? This big family, from top to bottom He is very courteous, and he does his best to serve Lian'er on weekdays, and he has done nothing wrong with helping me manage the government affairs. You know, I'm very satisfied with you. I'm... not for you. "

Wu Linzhu smiled and said, "It's my wife's love, my wife still has a lot to learn."

Ling Xuan nodded: "Well, your attitude is very good. It's just... I'm telling you a word today, I hope you don't worry too much after listening."

"Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Let me explain first, that's what the old lady meant, not me. She asked me today why you haven't heard the good news, and said that you want to take a concubine for Lian'er. I have already answered. You guys It's not like the young couple have been married for ten or eight years, so what's the rush? She can't wait to put eyeliner in Lian'er's room!
I'm telling you now just because I'm afraid that you'll feel uncomfortable hearing one or two gossips in the future.Good boy, having children is a matter between you and Lian'er. As long as you and your husband are in harmony, I don't care about anything else, and you shouldn't care about it either, you know? "

Wu Linzhu was stunned for a moment when she heard Ling Xuan's words. She never thought that Jia's mother could be so irresistible. Zhang Lingxuan was willing to refuse, which made her feel warm again. But after that, she smiled wryly again. Reluctantly said: "So it's for this? Don't worry, madam, if it's for this, I won't take it to heart at all. Madam is thinking about me and has already returned to the matter of taking concubines. I am very grateful to madam, but there is one thing , I think I have to tell my wife.”

"what happened?"

Zhang Lingxuan was taken aback. What did the child want to say?Could she not bear children?No, I didn't say that she was a stone girl when we got married.Or is there something else wrong with the couple?
Wu Linzhu looked at Zhang Lingxuan, and said, "Ma'am, I haven't been pregnant after entering the house for so long, it's not because I'm not pregnant, but...Second Master and I deliberately guarded each other, and we haven't slept for a long time. Together."

This time Zhang Lingxuan was stunned: "Son, what do you mean by that? Does Lian'er not like you?"

Wu Linzhu hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, madam, you are overthinking, Second Master...Second Master treated me very well. It's just...this..."

"Good boy, if you have anything to say, tell me quickly, are you trying to kill me?"

Wu Linzhu sighed, and finally told the truth: "Hey... the second master is observing his filial piety. He said... Grandpa passed away, and the Rongguo Mansion is not a square, and no one wears plain clothes. Even though the wife is a married daughter, she does not have to be filial, but she is the daughter of the Zhang family anyway. Rongguo Mansion's doing so is too inhumane. That's why the wife You will get sick from time to time, right?

The second master felt sad when he saw it, so he made an agreement with me to keep a filial piety for grandpa like his own grandson for 27 months, not less than a day.

On weekdays, the second master should do whatever he wants, but when he goes out for dinner and banquets, he never touches tobacco, alcohol, or meat, and when he gets home, he puts on a full set of plain clothes. They all don't live in the same house anymore.

The second master said that the grandpa was an official to the Wenhuadian University and the Minister of Rites before his death, and the descendants should observe the etiquette even more.Rongguo Mansion has always had no rules, but the grandson of the Minister of Rites must not understand the rules. "

After Wu Linzhu finished speaking, Zhang Lingxuan was already in tears: "Lian'er... Wu Linzhu...you...you are good children for your mother..."

Although her Zhang Lingxuan's surname is Zhang, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of this unseemly Rongguo Mansion, who is in charge of Zhongfu and the master of the house.She takes care of all the big and small things in this house, she takes care of it with all her heart, she is full of pain, and the death of her old father who gave birth to her is such a big matter in this house that the house doesn't pay attention at all, she hurts like a blunt knife. Heart, eyes seem to shed blood and tears, but can't say a word.Just because, married and obeyed her husband, who made her surname have the word Jia in front of it?
Now that Jia Lian and his wife are like this, their affection and sex have greatly relieved her painful and depressed heart, and she only feels that the pain of losing her husband has eased a lot.

Fortunately, God is still kind to me, at least there are Lian'er, a good son, and Wu Linzhu, a sensible and good daughter-in-law.
