[Red House] But for the sake of the king

Mrs. Lin's Tang family was born in a scholarly family, and she was also the only legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites at that time.When she married into the Lin family, Lin Ruhai's father hadn't been favored and became a nobleman, so he was regarded as the top of the Lin family.Tang grew up in the south, and has the grace and grace of a Jiangnan woman.He has always liked to be quiet, even when he was the housekeeper, he never made his own yard noisy.Now moving to the small courtyard to recuperate, it seems more and more quiet.

All the way Lin Ruhai went in, he never saw anyone walking around in the yard.When we reached the door of the main room, there was a little girl standing outside the door, and when he saw the master coming, he hurriedly drew up the curtain.

Lin Ruhai knew that someone must have reported the news to go in, and sure enough, when he entered the door, he saw his mother sitting on the red sandalwood throne with a squirrel and grape figure inlaid with dyed teeth in the middle.

Tang shi pays most attention to manners, even when seeing his son, if he is not sick, he would definitely not lean on the pillow.

After many years, Lin Ruhai's eyes were still red when he saw his biological mother again.He took a few steps forward, lifted his hem, knelt straight on the ground, knelt on the ground with his head, and said in his mouth: "Son pays respects to mother."

Although Tang was surprised that his son actually made a grand ceremony today, he thought it might be because of his granddaughter, so he smiled and asked him to get up. "Although it's February, the ground is still very cold. Why do you do such a big ceremony. You are all fathers, so get up and sit down. You must be happy to have a daughter today. Don't say anything You, even I, are very happy. Your father was still thinking about this when he left, and now his wish has finally been fulfilled. Even if I meet him in the future, I will be able to confess."

Just as Lin Ruhai was about to stand up, he heard this, kowtowed his head again, and said, "Mother's words really make my son ashamed. It's just a matter of heirs, God decides for himself, son, son..." Lin Ruhai lived nearly fifty At the beginning of the year, I really didn't say this.What can he say, is it possible to tell his mother directly that he will only be a girl in this life?

Tang took a sip of tea in the girl's hand, tucked the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, chuckled lightly, and said, "Get up quickly, I don't mean to blame you, you are already in your thirties, She blushed again." Although Tang felt it was funny, she was also a little worried.After her son followed her, he not only looked plump and handsome, but also had Jiangnan's delicacy and delicacy between his brows and eyes.Even this thin-skinned, red-faced problem is enough for her.When I was young, I still thought it was cute, but now at this age, and I have to deal with the officialdom, it's not a problem to always be like this.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai was ridiculed by his mother again. His mother used to love to tease him.Embarrassed, he stood up and sat down in the huanghuali chair beside him, picked up the tea bowl on the plum-blossom incense table and took a hasty sip.I didn't want to choke because I was in a hurry to drink.

Tang hurriedly said, "Chun Yu, hurry up and please the master." At the same time, he complained, "You said that you are such an adult, why can't you even drink your saliva well?"

Lin Ruhai was so choked that his whole face turned red, and there were tears in his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because of such a violent cough or because of his mother's familiar taunts and complaints.I'm afraid everyone except his father and him thought that Mrs. Lin was a dignified, virtuous, gentle and generous lady from a scholarly family who was well-mannered. How could she have thought that she would always be so funny to her son in private.

The coughing gradually subsided, and Tang shi stopped teasing his son, and started to talk about business, "Is there a staff ready for my precious granddaughter?"

Lin Ruhai cleared his throat, thinking about Lin Shenghui's words just now, "If you go back to mother, those two nurses were selected by Mrs. Jia a long time ago. In addition, the two second-class maids around Mrs. Jia were promoted to first-class. There are four nuns and four little maids."

Tang plucked a few Buddhist beads in his hands, and then said, "Although most young ladies are accompanied by two big girls, this is the first child of the Lin family after all, so it must be more delicate. How about it, then from I sent two maids over here, they were all brought out by Chun Yu and the others, I can see that they are serving them carefully. Xianyun, Fei Xing, go to Miss's place to serve from tomorrow onwards."

Lin Ruhai understood that this was definitely not her mother's temporary intention.When he was young, he only read the books of sages and sages. When he got married, he had already entered the Hanlin Academy to serve.First there was his mother, then there was Mrs. Jia, they were both good at handling housework, so the affairs in the inner house never bothered him.He has also heard of some secrets in the back house, but the Lin family has a small population, and it has been passed down to him for three generations, so the back house is much simpler.Now, besides the Jia family, he is only the third concubine.One was Jia's dowry, and the other two were arranged by Jia's mother three years after he married.They are all honest and responsible people, and they have never had any children, so the backyard of the Lin family is much quieter than other homes.It's just that he forgot that whether it's a big family or a commoner's family, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always difficult to reconcile.

It's just that Lin Ruhai in her previous life didn't pay attention to these things, relying entirely on her mother to make decisions, and Lin Ruhai in this life never thought of objecting.Although doing this is undoubtedly slapping Jia Shi in the face, but thinking of how Jia Shi taught Yu'er in her previous life, Lin Ruhai felt that it would be more reassuring to have a few people trained by her mother around Yu'er in the future.His Lin Ruhai's daughter is the eldest daughter of the Lin family's esteemed and noble family, so she always feels that she is not as good as the Jia family, or even the Xue family.

Ru Hai cupped his hands slightly, "Thank you mother for your trouble. Mrs. Jia is in confinement now, and my son is thinking about the affairs of this mansion, so he will have to tire mother for a while."

If I remember correctly, my mother did not take over the housekeeping right back then on the grounds that she was unwell.On the contrary, Jia Shi struggled to deal with matters big and small during the confinement period. He already had things in his heart, and he didn't have a good rest, so he sat down at the root of his illness.Naturally, Lin Ruhai wouldn't work hard on his mother for Jia's sake, but if his mother's health was still strong and he handed over the power of housekeeping to her and found something for her to do, he wouldn't miss his father all day long and become depressed.

Tang took another sip of tea, but did not answer the conversation, and the room fell silent.

After a long while, Tang finally said, "I have to agree to this. Come back and quickly give the child a name. Although it is a girl, don't choose it casually. Those spring, red, incense, jade, etc. are too vulgar. , don’t use it.”

Lin Ruhai replied, "I really let my mother talk. The son just went to see it, and seeing the child's eyebrows like Daisy, he thought of a name, called Daiyu. Although the word jade is used a lot, I don't know the name. Can it get into the ears of the mother?"

Tang said it twice in her mouth, "Daiyu, Daiyu. This name is not bad. It's just a baby name. You can think of another one to be serious."

Ruhai smiled and agreed, "Mother, let me give it a few days, let my son think about it carefully." But in his heart, he wondered why such a thing had never happened in his previous life.

Tang said with a smile, "You, a scholar who has read a lot of poetry and books, still have to think about a name for several days? Could it be that you told the Holy One the same way in the palace examination that day?"

Ru Hai hurriedly said he didn't dare, and after a little thought, he thought of a word, "How about the word 'Hui' for Mo Ruohua?"

Tang frowned, "Hui, grass is also. My precious granddaughter is a grass. Besides, this generation should be golden."

Ru Hai thinks so too, Yu'er is the jewel in his palm, if it is grass, it should be a fairy grass.If it was Cong Jin, her baby name was Yu'er again... Ru Hai took the tea bowl lid and tapped it lightly, every time he was lost in thought, he would respond like this.

"Yes, Mo Ruo's word 'Qi', Meiyu, just fits the baby name."

Tang wrote it on his own hand, nodded, "This is not bad, Lin Qi, it also looks like a brother's name, maybe it can make my sister grow stronger."

When Jia Min woke up the next day, he heard that the power of the housekeeper had returned to her mother-in-law, and she felt very unhappy.Knowing that the daughter's name has already been chosen, and that the husband and mother-in-law discussed it together, it makes me feel even more uncomfortable.It's just that Jia Min knew in her heart that she couldn't fight this seemingly gentle and kind mother-in-law, and she couldn't fight her, so she could only endure it forcefully.

Not long after, Jia Min was about to let someone take her daughter to have a look, when a nanny next to Tang came to tell the old lady that the delivery room was not clean and there was a nanny to take care of her, so it would be better to move the young lady away. Go to the old lady's yard and clean it up.It also prevents the lady from crying and disturbing the wife from having a good confinement.

This time Jia Min was really furious. The daughter she gave birth to desperately, just took a look at it yesterday, and she was about to take her away before she had time to hold her for a while.But what she said was for the good of their mother and daughter, what else could she say.Holding back her breath, she agreed, and when the nanny left, Jia Min didn't care about anything, and immediately smashed a tea bowl.

In fact, this was not Tang's idea, but Lin Ruhai and Tang's.According to the previous life, the Tang family died of illness when Daiyu was two years old.Ruhai understood in her heart that her mother missed her father so much that she allowed herself to be immersed in the memories and couldn't extricate herself, so that her grief was greater than her heart's death.Now seeing that my mother likes Daiyu very much, I think that there are many and cumbersome housekeeping tasks, and I can't keep my mother tired; if Daiyu is kept by her side, it will relieve mother's boredom and prevent Daiyu from being angry The Jia family is too close.This can be regarded as learned from his mother-in-law.Besides, my mother has the background of a scholarly family, and she is a good hand in the affairs of the inner house. Moreover, when she was young, she was a little bit, uh, lively.It would be a good thing if Yu'er could be like her mother.

Tang Corporation was really interested in this.She had had Lin Ruhai's son in her whole life, and it was always a pity that she couldn't make up a good word.Now I can raise my granddaughter, but my son is begging her, so naturally I can't ask for it.She was worried that Mrs. Jia would teach Daiyu according to their family's rules, but now that she can do it herself, she feels much more at ease.More importantly, her son is still on her side, which makes her happiest.
