Jia Min knew that as a subject, she should share the worries of her king, but Chengyu was so young that Jia Zheng, her uncle, was so cruel to let him go to the border to fight.
It would be fine for others, but Jia Zheng is Chengyu's uncle and her biological brother. Doesn't he know that she only has this one son? If anything happens to him, how will she live?
There was a hint of resentment in Jia Min's eyes when she looked at Jia Zheng.
It was true that Chengyu went to the border on her own this time, but Jia Zheng's words showed that he did not care about Chengyu's safety at all. How could she not be angry?
When Lady Jia saw that something was wrong, she quickly spoke up to stop it and reluctantly drove Jia Zheng out. She didn't know why she gave birth to such a pedantic son.
If he was questioned by the emperor in the court, it would be correct for him to answer like this, but he was not in the court now, so why said it like this, which made his sister unhappy.
"Your second brother is too loyal to the emperor. You know his temper. Don't argue with him." In order to prevent the siblings from getting estranged, Grandmother Jia had to comfort him. "When the border incident happened, your second brother said he wanted Baoyu to go and gain some experience. But Baoyu was like that. If he went, it would only cause trouble. That's why he didn't go."
Jia Min's expression eased a little, "Mother, I only have two children in this life, Daiyu and Chengyu. If anything happens to them, I won't be able to live."
In her early years, she was weak and she struggled hard to give birth to these two children. She would worry for several days even if they got a minor scratch, not to mention going to the battlefield.
She looked worried and a little depressed. "Your Majesty, you have been so kind. Chengyu has already been given the title of Marquis at such a young age. I should share your worries. But Chengyu is just a little old. I can't help but feel a little worried."
Grandmother Jia patted her hands and comforted her, "I know, it's normal for a mother to worry about her children."
Jia Min added, "It's been so long since Chengyu left, but there's still no news. I'm so worried that sometimes I dream about him getting hurt. I wake up in shock and can't fall asleep again."
As the two were talking, they heard someone outside say that the girls had arrived. They didn't want to say this in front of the children, so Jia Min forced herself to put away her worries, and the two of them looked towards the door together.
Xue Baochai also came today. When she saw Jia Min, an unclear emotion flashed in her eyes. It seemed that she had a lot of questions to ask, but because there were so many people, she could only keep them in her heart for the time being.
When the girls heard that Jia Min had come, they were so happy that they came over together as soon as the maids told them.
"aunt."
Jia Min agreed and asked them to sit down quickly. "It's been a while since we last met, and our girls have become prettier again."
The girls blushed and pulled Jia Min close to her affectionately, and asked why Daiyu didn't come.
Jia Min said helplessly: "I don't know what's wrong with her these days. She practices martial arts every day without a moment's rest. I advised her to take a break, but she wouldn't listen."
The girls couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.
They knew that Lin Daiyu was good at martial arts, but as a girl, even if she practiced martial arts, she would probably just do some fancy moves to strengthen her body.
But at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that day, Princess Le'an's heroic demeanor, a woman who was no less brave than any man, shocked many people, and even they heard a lot about it.
Jia Tanchun couldn't help but think that if she could learn some martial arts, she would be able to protect herself even if something happened at home in the future.
She couldn't help but ask, "Aunt, did the princess hire a special master to teach her martial arts?"
"Not really." Jia Min shook her head, hiding some secrets that could not be told. Under Jia Tanchun's burning gaze, she said, "Originally, Chengyu wanted to learn martial arts, and your uncle hired a master for him. Later, Chengyu said that practicing martial arts can strengthen the body, so your sister Lin followed Chengyu to learn some basics."
But later, somehow, Daiyu started to like it and studied with Chengyu for many years.
In fact, if it weren’t for the incident at the Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet, Jia Min herself would not have known how Daiyu was doing in her training now.
Jia Tanchun couldn't help but reveal an envious look. It would be great if she also had a brother who could do well in her life.
However, Jia Huan did not learn good things but instead learned bad things. He had no ambition at all. Every day he only worked on evil ways and had no idea of studying and making progress.
Jia Tanchun tried to persuade them several times, but was accused by Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan of looking down on her own mother and brother.
She was only a teenager, so she was angry when she heard this, but gradually she didn't want to pay any attention to them.
Now, listening to the deep love between Lin Daiyu and Lin Chengyu, she felt really uncomfortable.
Jia Min saw something different in her eyes and guessed some of what she meant.
But Jia Tanchun was under the care of Lady Wang, and if she interfered too much, she would inevitably be criticized by her unreasonable "good sister-in-law".
The Lin family is already at the center of the storm, with so many people eyeing their mistakes. It is better to have less trouble than more to avoid any trouble.
Jia Min patted her hands and was about to comfort her, but she saw Jia Yingchun's indifferent expression. But when she thought about how Jia Yingchun was usually a gentle and quiet person, she didn't find it strange.
It was just a pity for the third girl. Jia Min felt sorry for her and said, "Your sister Lin will be bored at home alone. If you are free, go and play with her. Your aunt will be happy to see you having fun."
When Jia Min said this, her eyes were looking at Jia Tanchun.
Jia Tanchun was so smart that she understood what she meant immediately. She nodded happily and said, "If aunt doesn't mind us making noise, we will go and spend more time with her."
Xue Baochai also echoed a few words. Although it was a little embarrassing, she had that person in her heart. Although she wouldn't be able to see him if she went there now, it would be good to make Jia Min feel more favorable towards her.
Jia Min smiled, "Aunt is so happy that she won't be dissatisfied. Now that it's settled, I'll be waiting for you at home. Don't let Aunt down."
Jia Tanchun knew how much Jia Min loved her, and she was deeply moved.
Jia Xichun was young and playful, so she was naturally very happy.
But Jia Yingchun looked a little embarrassed. Her wet nurse always said that a girl should stay at home and behave herself. This is how a daughter of a wealthy family should behave.
Although she sometimes did not agree with her wet nurse's words, she could not help but listen.
Even Baoyu, as a man, was sometimes controlled by his wet nurse, let alone her.
If she doesn't obey and makes a scene, she will be embarrassed.
But it’s not a good idea to say it now and spoil everyone’s fun. I’ll just find a chance to refuse later.
With just a quick glance, Jia Min almost understood what the girls were thinking.
Alas, this second girl, if she can't stand on her own, no matter how much help others give, it will be useless.
