Femme Beauty

Hearing what his wife said, Lin Ruhai lowered his head slightly and pursed his lips with a smile, "I just don't hold a lot of alcohol, so I can only make you the wife of the Yanzheng, and I can't be the wife of the prime minister."

"What good is it for me to be the prime minister's wife?" Jia Min smiled narrowly and looked at Jia Lian, "Everything is fine at home. I received your father's letter, but he said that the family is divided and he is going to Xishan Racecourse. Raising horses. I even told your uncle...he is not a young man now, let alone raising horses is good or bad, even his body may not be able to support it."

"My nephew was sent south by his uncle early on, and he only received the letter when he arrived here. If he had known earlier, he could have persuaded him. After all, the old lady is already living a long life, as the saying goes, parents are not traveling far away. It also caused jokes in the court, and my nephew didn't know what to say. After all, he is my father, so I don't blame my father." Jia Lian's voice trailed off, and with his head lowered, Jia Min confronted Lin Ruhai. Smile.

Lin Ruhai got up: "I'm going to change clothes first, they belong to a relative's family. Such an official uniform doesn't look suitable, after all, this side is damper than the back. You accompany your aunt to the cubicle to talk, and there is a hot kang .”

Seeing Lin Ruhai get up and say this, Jia Lian got up and sent Lin Ruhai away with a nod and a smile.Cai followed behind Jia Min, carefully watching her slowly approach the compartment.The aunt and nephew ordered hot tea, and waved away the people sitting on both sides of the kang table.Jia Min put the peanuts in the small dish and pushed them to him: "I know your father's letter, but you don't need to be cautious with me. I never hide the messy things at home from your uncle." I have been married to him for many years, and I also understand his character and temperament. It's just that there is no sign of this incident. I received a letter from your father and Mr. Wang, and then a letter from the old lady. In my opinion, this family was supposed to be divided when the sister-in-law passed away. It's just... oh!" Jia Min sighed deeply, and looked at Jia Lian who was sitting on the side with her head bowed, and sighed again Tone:

"After all, I am the aunt who is sorry for you. If I had brought you by my side back then, you would have been more relaxed."

"Auntie..." Jia Lian looked at Jia Min with a lot of thoughts.He never thought that there would be such an idea in his aunt's heart.The only time he saw his aunt again after she went to the south was when the coffin was sealed.

"I heard that your daughter-in-law is younger than you? I see, it's not my aunt, I'm gossiping, you'd better have an heir in a few years. Regardless of her uncle, Prince Teng Wang, after all, she is your daughter-in-law, right?" ?" Jia Min changed the subject and brought it to Wang Xifeng.

"I've thought of this a long time ago. Thank you, aunt, for your concern. This time, I'm actually quite nervous. After all, my aunt and the old lady..." Jia Lian pursed her lips when she said this: "Her aunt, after all, It's the second aunt. I'm worried that my aunt will be unhappy when I see her here. Just thinking about..."

"Come here first to see Tan Tanlu, right? You're so clever..." Jia Min tapped his forehead from the air, and took a sip of warm water with a smile.She is pregnant at this time, so there is no need for the fragrance of tea.She wiped the corner of her mouth: "What does your daughter-in-law think? Compared with her aunt..."

"It's better than my second aunt. And..." Jia Lian looked at Jia Min, thinking about Jia Min's care for him when he was a child: "She is devoted to me. It's just that she has a more pungent personality and doesn't know poetry. Books. I'm worried that my aunt might not like it."

"The little county magistrate of the Wang family...why don't you like it?" Jia Min lowered his head and smiled, "I don't care about poetry and books. As long as she treats you wholeheartedly, I will treat her well. Your mother left It's too late, my aunt is also half a mother-in-law, isn't she?"

"That's good!" Jia Lian looked at Jia Min with a smile: "The housekeeping she learned at home is what the Wang family taught. Perhaps, my uncle taught some other things. I don't know. But how to do this is so expensive." Ma'am, she'd better ask aunt to give more advice."

"It's not enough to give advice, but it's okay to teach her. After all, you are already out now, and you may be able to be promoted to Jinshi next year. The wife of the rich family of the Hou family must be different from the wife of the official gentry. Not to mention, if your uncle Agreeing to take you as a master and apprentice, then what you represent when you enter the officialdom is not the meritorious service of the Rongguo Mansion, but the hereditary nobleness of the third-class general. The difference between these is not something you just talk about."

"Then I will definitely have to worry about my aunt!" Jia Lian got up and sat down after saluting: "There is just one thing that my father specifically explained to me before I came. My father said that the nurse next to my aunt might not be needed anymore. Let me start again." I picked a new one and brought it along with me.”

When Jia Min heard this, Liu's eyes softened.She drew circles on the table with her fingers: "Are you going to be a big brother...hehe..." She chuckled twice: "Please don't say anything about this, I have to think about it. When will you pick your wife over here?" ?”

"I'm afraid I have to wait for my family to try it. She has a lot of land property to deal with. I thought about my future official career and told her about it." When it comes to family property, Jia Lian holds Leo clenched his fists: "I don't know if my aunt knows about the Jinling real estate at home."

"What's wrong?" Hearing Jia Lian's decision, Jia Min, who was about to praise him, was taken aback.She has been in poor health for these years. Daiyu was born prematurely, and her body has lost a lot of blood.It took three or four years to repair it before slowing down.In addition to his own dowry shop, there are also family properties that have not been carefully explored.After all, she is just a married girl.It's not easy for her to take care of those things unless her brother sends a letter.

"The old lady said that the 600 mu of land in the family was taken care of by the uncles of the fourth and fifth bedrooms. At the beginning of the year, part of the harvest was given to them as a reward and used to repair the ancestral grave. After all, our family does not rely on that. Yes. After the separation, my father entrusted someone to send over the land deed and related documents. I didn’t care about it at first, but part of my daughter-in-law’s dowry came from her mother’s land. When I have time, I went to see why. I just took a look at my own field."

"But the steward won't take care of it? Is it also a shortage?"

"No." Jia Lian shook his head: "The land has been planted, but it's not full. After all, the neighborhood has experienced the disease and epidemic in the past few years, and the population can't keep up. It's just that I got the news from Sifang. My wife explained a little poorly."

"Bad?" A sharp mark flashed across Jia Min's eyes.She knew her adoptive mother, and she looked at the Bodhisattva's heart, but she was actually not an ordinary person.It's like she looks closer to herself than her own child.But in private, that's hard to say.

Jia Lian lowered his head and did not see what Jia Min was looking at. He nodded: "Yes. The harvest of that field is not what the old lady said. In fact, the uncle of the fourth house will send people to Beijing every year. They asked for 4000 taels of silver. As their income from looking after the fields, it is always important that this part is richer and they don’t want to let it go. It’s just that this land, except for the wrong planting of the disease in the past two years, on average, every year I got more than 3 taels of income. Our family does not rely on land production, and most of the grain is sold to grain merchants. Among them, most of the 2 taels of silver have disappeared. Moreover, I am from Sifang for spring plowing right now. Uncle took it back. But there is a hundred acres of it, and it still can’t be taken back.”

"Why is that?" Jia Min heard the story, and knew that her adoptive mother must be full of money.But how could one hundred acres be lost for nothing?

"It's really hard to say about this." Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai who walked in, and quickly got up and gave up his seat to sit on the high step beside him.Stepping down to the warm pavilion, the mother-in-law came over with a charcoal basin and put it underneath, and the smoke was very hot.

After the maids and mother-in-law had left, Lin Ruhai interrupted the topic: "What's not to say?"

Jia Lian glanced at Jia Min, Jia Min nodded and looked at Lin Ruhai: "Aren't my two brothers separated? Lian'er's father is going to Xishan to raise horses, so he will give all the current land to Lian'er. He will go When I checked, I found that there was a hundred acres that could not be recovered." After a brief introduction, Jia Min did not avoid Lin Ruhai, and his brother and nephew had to rely on her husband to raise some things. If these things can be explained , but better.She leaned sideways on the pillow on one side: "Isn't it well written on the land deed? Why is it hard to accept it?"

Jia Lian is a smart person. Hearing what Jia Min said, he knew that his aunt would not just favor the old lady in these matters.It's just that he couldn't figure it out for a while, if the aunt herself was suspicious of the old lady, why did she hand over her younger sister to the old lady in the end?

He licked his lips: "It's really hard to talk about this matter. If I was in the capital, I could still ask my father, Uncle Wang, or Mr. Yuan, but now..." He looked at Lin Ruhai sincerely: "I don't know if my uncle received the advice. A letter from my father? About the Qin family in the East Mansion?"

"Your aunt and I know about this, and Brother Yunfei also sent a letter. I originally wanted to test you one or two, but since you can win the first place in the Jiangnan area, no matter what it is, it's good. You just say, I don't care about that with your aunt." Lin Ruhai sat up straight, with one arm resting on the kang table.Jia Lian nodded:

"The old lady gave the one hundred acres to a brother who lives in the village in the sense of borrowing. And that means, if the brother has paid all the rent of the land before the age of 16, he will be It belongs to that brother. It’s just that right now, that brother is only four or five years old. But I looked at the account book, and it’s only three years away.”

"Brother?" Jia Min looked at Lin Ruhai, Jia Min didn't know very well, but Lin Ruhai did.Wang Ziteng mentioned this matter in his letter, but he didn't say it for a while in order not to distract his wife.He frowned slightly: "Have you seen that child?"

"Look at it from a distance." Jia Lian knew that Wang Ziteng must have told Lin Ruhai after hearing the words.

"But like?" Lin Ruhai asked again.

"The maid, the maid, who is in charge of the inner and outer courtyards, and even the nanny are all compared to Baoyu. They look very similar to Brother Huan." Jia Lian pursed her lips and looked at her aunt's blank face.

Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to hold Jia Min's hand on the table: "Madam, don't worry, this matter is a bit complicated. When Brother Yunfei wrote, I was worried that Madam knew it would be harmful to her body and mind, so she kept it a secret."

"But...important?" Jia Min understood that what Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng value equally must be important.

"It's a small mistake!" Lin Ruhai sighed: "Madam, do you know about the child born to your second sister-in-law?"

"The old lady wrote in a letter saying that she gave birth to two children and only lost one. She left the one born from Hanyu. Back then, she was worried that she would not be able to support her, so she passed the postage! But what's the matter with Baoyu?"

"It's just that Baoyu has something to do!" Lin Ruhai sighed and glanced at Jia Lian, showing some pity.The child looked shrewd and honest, but his luck was not good.He held Jia Min's hand while comforting him and said, "Brother Yunfei's letter said that it was the child who was raised in Zhuangzi. That child is very similar to your Baoyu's concubine Brother Huan, and that child Baoyu...I'm afraid it has another source. Have you heard that there is also a Baoyu in the third room of the Zhen family?"

"I know..." Jia Min was confused for a while, she couldn't connect these things together.

"The two precious jades look the same, birthdays on the same day." Lin Ruhai stopped at this point.Because Jia Min's brain was blown open by this sentence.She looked at her husband anxiously: "This is... this is... really?"

"Not to mention the truth or falsehood, the internal government order sent the internal sinking note a few days ago. It was about cooperating in the investigation of the matter between the late eldest daughter of the third house of the Zhen family and the king of Linjun." Lin Ruhai comforted his wife and looked at Jia Lian: " I'm afraid that the Holy Majesty already knows a thing or two, what is missing is a confirmation. Back then, the old lady of the Zhen family and your old lady were both served by the emperor's side, so I don't know how many connections there are. What is your old lady's plan? Brother Yunfei and I can't figure it out either. It's just that I'm afraid we can't hide this matter."

"What should I do? If she is really involved with Linjun Wang, wouldn't it be a disaster for the family to be confiscated and exterminated?" Jia Min's voice was a little sharp. She couldn't think of such a matter of replacing a civet cat with a prince, how could it go on.

"That's not easy to talk about!" Lin Ruhai comforted her with a smile: "Madam, don't be anxious, this matter is really hard to talk about. Brother Enhou separated the family at this time and instead hid from it. It's just..." Behind him is just, It was Jia Zheng.Jia Min didn't know why, she lowered her head, although she was by the old lady's side when she was young, she didn't have a very harmonious relationship with her second brother.Although she lost her mother when she was born, the former old lady took good care of her.Whether it's the nanny around her or the marriage in the future, they are all taken care of.Therefore, she was aware of many Yin divisions when she was still young.

"If it doesn't affect Lian'er's future, it will be fine!" She gritted her teeth, no matter what.After all, all she cared about was her brother who was the same mother.

"As for Lian'er, there may be some problems in the palace examination. But the new emperor is not the old emperor, and it's just a delay in ranking." Regarding the understanding of the new emperor, Lin Ruhai is confident that the children he teaches will definitely not be bad.He looked at Jia Lian: "Your father-in-law brother Yunfei wrote in a letter saying that you want to change your family, and your aunt is concerned about you. I won't disobey their wishes even if I fall to the ground. It's just that it's not easy to do it. You can do it well." Ready?" As he spoke, he waved his hand: "Don't rush to make a decision, I know you are a good boy. But if you get into my front, the rules in the future will have to follow mine. And, your uncle did The governor of Haining Road may have other arrangements. You are already a weak crown at this time, and if you follow me, it will be delayed for three to five years."

Jia Lian was overjoyed when he heard this.He nodded: "I know my uncle is worried. I wrote to my uncle years ago. My uncle said that it must be good if I can get some advice from my uncle. My uncle also said that if I follow my uncle, I am afraid that I will be behind wearing a crown." Can enter the imperial court. I don't worry about this. After all, I have waited for six years to get a child. It doesn't bother me to wait another four or five years. It's just that my family has been complicated since I was a child. After all, I don't have a good master. Teaching. There are a lot of obsessive habits... but my uncle needs to be extra strict." As he spoke, his face flushed.

Jia Min has just gone through a shock, but after hearing her husband's decision and nephew's words, she is a person with a disturbed mind.She looked at her husband and was very grateful: "If you make up your mind, I will watch from the sidelines. If you don't listen, and if your uncle can't save face, I will beat you on behalf of your father."

"I'm just stupid, not enough to be taught. What my aunt said...it made me feel ashamed. I thought that if I could get a famous teacher in the future, I would definitely be clean." Jia Lian muttered, feeling very uncomfortable.

"He's already married, why are you doing this?" Lin Ruhai had exchanged letters with Wang Ziteng a lot, and knew Jia Lian much more than Jia Min after all.He was pale and beardless, just nodded: "There is also a side courtyard in the yard. Brother Yunfei wrote to say that you don't want to have children too early. There is an earth dragon in it. Although it is small, it has an independent side door. The groom and the bearer It’s in the other courtyard in the alley opposite. It’s convenient for you to go out. After today, you can sit and wear back, and come over after tidying up with your wife! When the time comes, choose a good day.” He was referring to the formal apprenticeship ceremony, regardless of Whether it was Wang Ziteng's request or his own wife, he couldn't refuse this disciple.

Jia Lian was even more ecstatic when he heard this.He originally thought that from his uncle's point of view, at most he was brought around to teach him a few things.But he didn't expect that there was such a good lottery in front of him, and he was a little at a loss then.He trembled with excitement:

"Boy...boy...here...thank you uncle!" He knelt down shaking his body, knocking his head on the green brick with a very crisp sound, which scared Lin Ruhai and his wife beside him.
