Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

On the first birthday of Little Suckling Pig, the sage said that it will be held in the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion and Peace.The queen mother is happy, this is because the sage doesn't care about the second and third bedroom of the Zheng family, and started to make face for himself and the Zheng family.Ever since she got the news, the Empress Dowager was so happy that she couldn't sleep. For several days, she had to rely on soothing soup to fall asleep.The current Zheng family has gradually declined since the Empress Dowager left.The sage is willing to give the Zheng family face and a chance, and has already planned to bring the queen mother's nephews and grand-nephews who are guards in the imperial army to accompany the imperial chariot to the west.It's no wonder that the queen mother can't sleep with joy. If one of these nephews and grandnephews can make a difference in this year's expedition with the saint, after a hundred years, he doesn't have to worry about the Zheng family's collapse.

Catch Zhou is the highlight of the day. The grandson of the emperor in a brand new scarlet python robe was placed by the princess on a big case full of auspicious and Zhou Catch items.The little suckling pig has already been able to walk a few steps with support, and now seeing the dazzling array of new gadgets, he first went to see his father for answers.

The prince smiled and said, "Little suckling pig, go pick one you like to play with."

The saint coaxed him, "Little suckling pig, go pick one, take whichever you like."

The little suckling pig crawled up to the sage, grabbed the sage's clothes and stood up, pointed to the new jade pendant hung by the sage, and called: "Zu, Zu."

The sage understood what it meant to treasure his grandson, so he wrapped his arms around his grandson to prevent him from falling, quickly untied his jade pendant with both hands, and after thinking about it, he took out a small seal of his own from his purse and put it together On the table.

The Crown Princess, Madam Xiao and others have recently trained the suckling pigs.For example, if he grabs a book, he will add some egg custard to eat.But no one expected that the saint would temporarily add a small seal.

This Shoushan stone seal is dark yellow mixed with milky white and bright red silk, and the three colors interweave and transition naturally.The Yinzhu is carved into the body of a hovering five-clawed dragon. The seal button is the head of the main milky white dragon. The dragon whiskers follow the red silk of the Shoushan Stone itself. Very eye-catching.

On the oval printing surface, there are only four simple inscribed scripts in Xiaozhuan: "Gushou Changsheng", which are the names and characters of saints.Because the sage likes the natural color of this small seal and the exquisite craftsmanship of the carver, he often holds this seal in his hand and plays with it.Now the surface of this seal is already delicate and oily, as solid as fat jade.

It was the first time for the emperor's grandson to see the new thing of the seal, and he didn't care about the custard training that his mother had come to for days.Even the saint's jade pendant, which he loved the most on weekdays, was discarded. When he got out of the saint's arms, he crawled over in a second, held the small seal in his hand, grinned with saliva, and didn't care about the person on the case. Books, pens, swords, abacus, etc.

The prince knew that Shi Shi was training his son to catch books recently, so he coaxed the little suckling pig to get another one.The little man's eyes hesitated back and forth between the "Three Character Classic" and the saint's jade pendant, and finally took the saint's jade pendant.The jade quality and carving workmanship of each of the saint's jade pendants are excellent treasures, and the ones that were taken by the little suckling pigs back and forth cost more than a dozen yuan.

The prince spread his hands and smiled at Shi Shi, it is really difficult for an adult to control the matter of catching Zhou.At this time, the clan watching the ceremony was already full of congratulations to the saint, congratulations to the saint for having a clever grandson who inherited the country and society.

The sage was even more happy. There are so many colorful things that can attract children, but the only thing grandson loves is his own jade pendant and seal.He took off his purse, hung it on his grandson, hugged and coaxed his grandson for a long time, and finally coaxed the jade pendant and small seal out of his grandson's hand, put them in the purse and packed them.

The rest of the royal banquet to celebrate is a family banquet for close relatives of the clan.After the emperor's grandson made a perfect appearance, the empress dowager and the princess concubine were in the same mind. The concubine first said that the child got up early, and the queen mother immediately followed up and said that if he was sleepy, he should take him back to sleep.

The concubine sent her wet nurse and mother Xiao, took the grandson's nanny and others, and sent the grandson back to the East Palace.The concubine always remembers the prince's instructions. The child is too young to have contact with outsiders, and it will be fatal if he is infected with any disease.

Time passed quickly, and it was August in a blink of an eye.

Rongguo Mansion will marry the second son, Jia Zheng, on the second day of August.Shi Shi has been busy for almost three years, and finally settled the marriage of his second son.After the second son and the new daughter-in-law came to visit, she felt a lot more relaxed.Shi said silently in his heart, from now on, just find a good son-in-law and everything will be fine.

The Rongguo Mansion is holding a wedding, and people who have contacts will also come and walk because of Jia Daishan's status in the imperial court.The wedding was very lively, but in Shi's eyes, compared with the eldest son's wedding, it was still a lot different.

Most of the nobles in the capital came to Rongguo Mansion for a wedding.But those who came to congratulate with the elders were all the second sons, third sons, and even the bastard sons who stood out. The future eldest sons and elder sons who were in charge of the family did not come.This made Shi realize that his second son will be this type of person in the circle he will associate with in the future.

This made her very uncomfortable, and even showed it at the meeting ceremony for the bride the next day.

On the second day, Jia Zheng took Mrs. Wang to visit her parents. The bride had gentle eyebrows and upper-middle appearance, and she had the same bookish aura as Mrs. Zhang.Shi loves the house and Wu, and the gift she gives to the bride is the same as that of the eldest daughter-in-law.Jia Daishan sighed in his heart, and immediately took back a small village that he had prepared in the meeting ceremony, and only gave the bride a shop contract with a lease.He told the bride that the monthly rent would be used for her daily expenses.

Shi waited for his second son to leave, and asked Jia Daishan, "Master, did you plan to give Zheng'er the Zhuangzi?"

Jia Daishan scolded her very displeasedly, "Mr. Shi, Mrs. Wang is the second daughter-in-law, how can you give the same gift as Mrs. Zhang?"

Shi Shi was embarrassed, what she said to Jia Daishan yesterday was not about today's things, but she changed it after a sudden thought in the morning.

She said to Jia Daishan: "Master, we are just two sons, there is no need for such an obvious difference."

Jia Daishan felt quite tired, his wife always thought that the eldest son would be like the second son, it was really worrying.He made up his mind to be careful about Shi's actions in this area in the future, and as expected, something really happened.

——After the new daughter-in-law returned home, Shi proposed to ask the new daughter-in-law to help him with housekeeping.

Mrs. Wang is embarrassed. There is an elder sister-in-law at home. The elder sister-in-law has a son and a daughter. She is a new daughter-in-law who just came in, so she helps her mother-in-law with housekeeping.Those who know will not only say that the mother-in-law is eccentric, but also say that they don't know etiquette and stepped on the head of the elder sister-in-law.

Wang was in a dilemma, hesitated and said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law just came in, and I don't understand the people and things in the house, so wait a little longer."

Shi couldn't hide his disappointment, so he sent Wang back to rest.She left her second son to talk with her for a while, and then she couldn't help but complained to Jia Zheng.

"Oh, my mother is getting old, so I hope that your daughter-in-law will come in and help me share some of the burden. Unexpectedly, your daughter-in-law refused to help with things!"

Jia Zhengjing and Wang Hanlin taught him for half a year, and he opened up a little bit.He felt that it was a good thing for his house that his mother asked Wang to help with the housekeeping.But Mrs. Wang refused. He felt that something was wrong.He could only persuade his mother: "Mom, Mrs. Wang just came in, so don't dare to take care of it. Father asked my sister to help you. If you are still too busy after a while, my son will tell her."

Shi Shi felt a little annoyed with his son, and even more annoyed with his wife.It's only been a few days since I entered the door, and my son doesn't listen to me completely.

She was not happy, and she nodded Jia Zheng's forehead and said, "I asked your wife to help the housekeeper, just to make up for you. Is her dowry enough for food or drink?! "

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "Mother is joking, our Rongguo Mansion will not take away the daughter-in-law's dowry to eat and drink. How much dowry she has is her own."

In Jia Zheng's heart, he still feels sad that he is missing a Zhuangzi compared with his elder brother.The eldest brother got married, but the father gave a Zhuangzi to make up for the daily expenses.

Shi Shi looked at his son who was not enlightened, sighed and didn't want to say any more, and dismissed Jia Zheng wearily.

Seeing that his mother was unhappy, Jia Zheng went back to his new house and asked his newly married wife about it.In Jia Zheng's heart, adhering to the rule of a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine, he can't say how much he loves his new wife, but he respects him very much.

Looking at the mallet, Mrs. Wang felt regretful. If she knew that she would not go to the draft, she would be put in the frame of the Rongguo Mansion to select the second son-in-law by the sage.Anyway, I have an average appearance, so I won't be selected.But after getting married, now I can only teach him patiently.

"Husband, this Rongguo mansion will be inherited by the eldest house in the future. With the elder sister-in-law, it is beyond the etiquette to be the housekeeper. It will be used as a joke."

"It's your mother who wants you to be housekeeper. If you don't listen to your mother's assignment, isn't that a violation of filial piety?"

Mrs. Wang is angry, and now that she is newly married, is she saying that she is unfilial?

"Husband, do you know what unfilial piety is?"

This Jia Zhengshu, he blurted out, "The Commentary on the Thirteen Classics has a commentary on unfilial piety in "Mencius? One is not filial; the family is poor and relatives are old, not being a salary official, two is not filial; not marrying and having no children, and never worshiping ancestors, three is not filial."

Wang smiled, the memorization of the book is really good.

"Husband, now my mother wants my concubine to be the housekeeper. There is a long house. This is a violation of etiquette. Husband, think about it. If outsiders know about mother's request, will they say that mother is confused? If the concubine does, isn't it?" Are you willing to submit to the injustice of your relatives?"

Jia Zheng suddenly realized and bowed to his wife.

"I'm not as good as you. It's exactly what my father-in-law said. I've memorized the Four Books and Five Classics, and I haven't understood it enough to use it flexibly."

Wang hurriedly avoided Jia Zheng's salute, and offered Jia Zheng a blessing.

"It's just that my husband didn't think about these small things. There is a sister-in-law and a younger sister in the family. If the mother is too busy, someone will help the mother."

Jia Daishan is the sage's upcoming imperial conquest, so busy every day that he doesn't care about the affairs of the house.But Shi asked his new daughter-in-law to help with the housekeeping. For such a big matter, he knew about it when he returned home at night.While he sighed, he was also happy that his second son-in-law was a sensible person.He sent someone to call Jia Zheng, and in front of him, he sent a Zhuangzi to the Zhang family, and gave some ornamental utensils to the eldest grandson and granddaughter, and then gave the Zhuangzi that had been prepared for Jia Zheng. , gave him.

"Zheng'er, this Zhuangzi has already prepared it for you. However, the gift your mother gave to Mrs. Wang that day was the same as when your sister-in-law came in. As a father, I have to reduce the gift for you to balance it."

Only then did Jia Zheng understand why he lacked Zhuangzi.He bowed his head in embarrassment, unable to speak.

"Your mother prefers you because you are the second son. But the order of seniority is determined by God. If we do things in the house, if we violate the rules, we will be ridiculed for small things. But it's not sure, someday If you accumulate too many small things, you will be impeached by the censor."

Jia Zheng nodded.

Jia Daishan didn't know if the second son really understood what he said, so he continued to warn the second son.

"Your daughter-in-law is a sensible person, you have to remember, and ask your daughter-in-law more when you do things in the future."

"Yes, father, my son must remember."

Jia Zheng admired his father very much, and he always remembered firmly what his father told him.As for whether it is out of shape when it is done, that's up to two people.

But after Jia Amnesty went to the border, Jia Daishan took Jia Zheng with him to teach whenever he had time.Jia Daishan's actions made Jia Zheng suppress all his dissatisfaction and jealousy towards Jia Amnesty to the corner of his heart.

Jia Daishan only hoped that after a hundred years, his two sons could support each other.

Soon, when the autumn wind picked up, the day for the west expedition chosen by the sage arrived.
