[Red Mansions] The good life of the wife of the official family

The carriage went all the way to Jia's mansion, Zhao Zhihan not only looked at the scene of the market, but also talked to Yuan Chun about Jia's mansion.It is only said that Yuan Chun was brought up by Jia's mother since he was a child, and he didn't know much about the affairs of Mrs. Wang's courtyard.What can be said is just how many women and maidservants there are in Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

Speaking of the mother-in-law, Zhao Zhihan specifically asked about the deeds of the Ma Daopo.Yuan Chun thought for a while, only looked at Zhao Zhihan and said: "There is no such woman in the family, I have never seen or heard of it, I don't know where my aunt heard about it?"

Zhao Zhihan said in a muffled voice, "I just seem to have heard of it, but I don't really remember it."

There are so many characters up and down in the Red Mansion, and it only takes time and memory to understand each character thoroughly.As far as Zhao Zhihan is concerned, it is true that many small characters do not understand very thoroughly, and they cannot remember their own backgrounds clearly.

As for Ma Daopo, she only remembered that she was the godmother Baoyu sent her name to, but she was a person who saw money and knew a lot of crooked ways.Why this kind of person can become Baoyu's godmother is unknown.Now that Yuan Chun said that there is no such person in the Rongguo Mansion, it should not be the mother-in-law of the Jia family who prostituted herself.

Thinking like this, the carriage has already entered Rongguo Mansion.A servant went to report, and Mrs. Wang took it out of the hall in person.Seeing that Mrs. Wang came to pick her up even though she was pregnant, Zhao Zhihan was quite embarrassed, so she said a few words of courtesy that Mrs. Wang insulted her, and the two went all the way to Jiamu's courtyard while chatting.

Along the way, the courtyard house is not much different from the Wang family, and there is nothing new about it.When she arrived at Jiamu's room, a servant girl called her to take her in.She followed Mrs. Wang into the house, and saw an old woman with mottled temples and silver hair, she must be Shi Taijun Jiamu.At this time, Mother Jia was still younger, not as young as Zhao Zhihan's mother-in-law Wu Shi.

"Hello, old lady." Zhao Zhihan went to salute Jia Mu after entering. Jia Mu laughed and asked the maid to arrange a seat, then looked at her and said, "It's also a rare time for you to come to our house. You are a distinguished guest. Maybe you know you Eldest sister is pregnant, come to see her?"

Zhao Zhihan also smiled, "Aren't you an old lady? My brother isn't here, so I, my sister-in-law, can only come and take care of her. Coincidentally, girl Yuan is coming back, so I brought her back too."

"That's right, Yuan girl has been away for a few days, I'm thinking very hard, I just keep talking about no children making trouble for me." Jia Mu called Yuan Chun to her side as she spoke, stroked her hair deliberately sour He said seriously: "Did you become addicted to living at grandma's house? You don't miss me anymore."

Yuan Chun smiled obediently, "What does the old lady say? It's just that there are sisters Xifeng and Xiyi in my grandfather's family, so they can have fun together. At home, Brother Zhu and Brother Lian are not like our girls. Playing together, Sister Yingchun is still young, and she doesn't like to play. She is so small, no one bothers her, she just finds a secluded place to stay, and doesn't talk."

Mother Jia sighed, "Her mother is like that, no wonder she is like that."

The grandfather and grandson said a few words in this way, and Mother Jia's speech with Zhao Zhihan was just a small talk, so she left Yuan Chun and let her go with Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang walked around the courtyard and brought Zhao Zhihan to her room, sat down on the kang, and asked Jin Chuan to boil some hot tea and bring some dried fruit snacks.

Zhao Zhihan didn't care about tea and food, but she didn't know how to say what she came for.Mrs. Wang looked at her, with a smile on her face, and said, "The fiftieth birthday is over?"

Zhao Zhihan was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, "It's done, sister already knows?"

"How would I know?" Mrs. Wang pushed the fruit plate brought by Jin Chuan towards Zhao Zhihan, "It's just that my sister-in-law came to the house to look for me, she must not just come to see me. I told you the same thing last time Now, if you don't understand this matter, just ask me. Thinking about it, my sister-in-law can only come here for this matter."

"That's right." The topic started, and Zhao Zhihan followed suit, "It's done, but I don't have a clue. I haven't done these things since I was a child, and now I'm entrusted to you. Don't know where to start."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang looked at the slightly worried look on Zhao Zhihan's face, she just smiled lightly and said, "This matter, my sister-in-law came to see me, I will definitely not ask my sister-in-law to mess up this matter. Even if I can't do it the first time Do everything well, but at least don’t make any troubles.”

"En." Zhao Zhihan nodded, "My sister will tell me all her experiences, what to do, and what to pay attention to. Tell me all about it. After everything is done, I will definitely thank my sister."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll tell you the details one by one. As for those who are thankful and not, sister-in-law, don't say any more. The whole family still says that they are not thankful, but they are divided. "

Zhao Zhihan nodded slightly, with a smile on her lips, then looked up at Mrs. Wang and said, "Sister is right."

The next thing Mrs. Wang talked to Zhao Zhihan was about the people from all parties who needed to entertain the guests, and moreover, the number of seats at the banquet, so people with different identities were treated differently.The food and drink, cloth, and small gifts to be given out for the banquet are purchased, and there is also the selection of theatrical troupes.Zhao Zhihan found pens and inks and wrote them down one by one, so that they could be implemented one by one.

After she had memorized a few pages, Mrs. Wang had finished talking about the general things to do, and said: "These things involve details, and I still need my sister-in-law to go back and think carefully. I can only tell my sister-in-law some things to do , but I can’t explain everything to my sister-in-law. If there are any problems during the period, my sister-in-law can just come to me again.”

Zhao Zhihan folded the paper and stuffed it into her sleeves, feeling quite satisfied. She looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "I still have to thank my sister, I roughly have a direction. It's good if I can get it. If I can't get it, I'm most anxious. As for As for the details, I will go back and think about it carefully."

Mrs. Wang only told her the general things that she wanted to say, but she said everything very comprehensively, but she said everything, probably not specific.She even avoided talking about the problems she would encounter during doing these things.Zhao Zhihan also understood that she held back several hands and didn't explain everything at once, but she just thought that Zhao Zhihan would come to her when encountering difficulties and making it difficult to proceed.One time is not considered a favor, but this time there are too many times, even if you want to lose this favor, you can't afford it.

Mrs. Wang looked at Zhao Zhihan's smiling face and relieved her entanglement. She also had a sense of accomplishment, as if she had helped the younger generation.However, after looking at it for a while, she turned her attention to the paper that Zhao Zhihan stuffed into her sleeve.She pointed to Zhao Zhihan's sleeve, and said hesitantly, "When will my sister-in-law be able to write so many words?"

"Oh, this." Zhao Zhihan still smiled, "After reading the scriptures with the old lady a lot, I learned some words, and then I copied the scriptures, and read some other books, so I was able to write some." No one knew, When she came here, she put a lot of effort into recognizing traditional Chinese characters.

"Oh...that sister-in-law is really versatile, and she hid it all before."

"Where is it hidden? It's not a talent or skill, so there's nothing to show off. There's another thing, isn't a woman's virtue without talent?" Zhao Zhihan knew that Mrs. Wang had almost no contact with the original owner, so she just talked about it casually. After all, it's all gossip.Then there was a long time of gossip, and Zhao Zhihan laughed and chatted with Mrs. Wang.Then she asked how Jia Zhu was doing now, and whether her injury was healed, and Mrs. Wang only said that everything was healed.

It was not until it was getting late that she resigned from Jia Mu again, and then got into the carriage and returned to Wang's house.

In the evening, he went to Wu's courtyard, and picked and talked about going to Jia's house.Then he said something about Mrs. Wang and Jia Zhu, and asked Mrs. Wu to relieve her craving for not seeing her grandson for a long time before returning to her yard.

After dinner, after washing up and sitting on the edge of the bed, Zhao Zhihan felt very tired.Hong Yi packed up everything and came in to sleep with her.Zhao Zhihan stood up and asked her to make the bed, while Hongyi was making the bed, Zhao Zhihan stood in front of the bed, frowning and rubbing her chin, thinking about something.

When Hongyi made the bed and called her, she was still immersed in her own thoughts.Hongyi walked in front of her, looked into her eyes from a close distance and called "Madam" again.

Only then did Zhao Zhihan come to her senses, looked at her and said, "What's wrong?"

"What's madam thinking? The bed is ready, we can sleep now." Hong Yi said.

Zhao Zhihan put down her hands, and Mumu went to the bed and sat down. After a long while, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Hongyi and said, "Hongyi, I have something to do. You can spend some money and ask Nanny Chen to find a reliable second door worker." My little boy, go out and ask me if a woman named Ma Daopo is in the capital, and what is her origin."

"Ma Daopo?" Hongyi sat down beside Zhao Zhihan, "Who is this person?"

Zhao Zhihan slowly shook her head, "It's because I don't know this person very well, so I went out to inquire about it. Tell Mrs. Chen, don't let others know about it, and just tell me where that Ma Daopo lives. .”

"Hey." Hong Yi responded, without asking any more questions, and said: "I will help my wife to do this tomorrow, it is too late now, my wife should not think about it, go to bed earlier."

"En." Zhao Zhihan agreed, and went to bed.Hongyi went to blow the lamp, and lay down next to Zhao Zhihan.Tired and tired, Zhao Zhihan fell asleep after a while.

Early the next morning, Hongyi followed Zhao Zhihan's request to give orders to Mrs. Chen.At this time, Mrs. Chen knew that Zhao Zhihan had won the management right of the old lady Wu's [-]th birthday, and felt from the bottom of her heart that she had made the right choice back then.I have a bright face, and now I am working harder.

After getting the order, she didn't delay for a moment and went to find Mother Qin.Just because Nanny Qin has a son in the second family, this kind of thing that can make money naturally cannot be taken advantage of by outsiders. Nanny Qin is the closest to her, not an outsider.

After this matter was handed over to Hongyi, Zhao Zhihan thought about preparing for the birthday banquet at home.She took out the things that she had memorized at Jia's house one by one, systematically integrated them in her mind, and followed the clues.
