Jia Juan of the New Red Mansion

Aunt Ma gave birth to the child with all her strength, and before she died, she glanced at the child, and then passed away with nostalgia.Shui Fang entered the house after Aunt Ma's death. He stayed alone in the house for a while, and when he came out, his eyes were slightly red.After all, this is his first woman, no matter how much he hates her, he will still have feelings.

Mother Guan hugged the newborn eldest daughter, and looked at Jia Juan worriedly, fearing that Jia Juan would be petty at this time and offend Lord Hou.Jia Juan felt sour in his heart, but after seeing the kitten in the arms of Guan Mama, who looked like a small person, he had no other thoughts, why bother to be jealous with a dead man and make trouble for himself.

"Why isn't this child crying? Let Dr. Chen take a look. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right?" Shui Fang seemed to be relieved when he heard that it was a girl, and he quickly recovered.If Jia Juan hadn't been observing the water, he would have missed the scene just like everyone else.

Jia Juan felt that it was very weird, and resisted the doubts in his heart, "I cried like a cat when I was hugged, but now I think it's because I fell asleep that I stopped crying. However, it's good to let Dr. Chen take a look, after all, this The child also suffers when it is born." Afraid of causing Shui Fang's sadness, Jia Juan stopped talking.

Mrs. Li carefully took the child from Mama Guan's arms, "Oh, why are you so soft? Lord Hou, madam, this servant will take the young lady to Dr. Chen." "Go, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Ma's queen." I will leave it to you to take care of the matter. Give her natal family 500 taels of silver, and say that I told you that Aunt Ma's child will have nothing to do with the Ma family in the future, and there will be no need to come here again." When Shui Fang said this, he was totally There was no trace of sadness, as if dismissing an irrelevant outsider.

Although he was still sad just now, he turned ruthless in a blink of an eye. Jia Juan began to wonder what kind of person he was. "Autumn Equinox, take out another 200 taels of silver from my body and give them to the Ma family together. It can be regarded as a sisterhood." The total of 700 taels of silver is enough for the Ma family to buy land or do small business.

Jia Juan saw Liu Shi opened his mouth, waved his hands and said, "Forget it." If there is too much money, people will misunderstand that Aunt Ma's death has something to do with the Hou Mansion. Yinzi blocked the Ma family's mouth and concealed the real cause of Aunt Ma's death.

"Take care of mother, you send a daughter-in-law who can speak well to tell her mother's family about Aunt Ma's dystocia in detail. Remember, you should tell it in a crowded place." Shui Fang is still thoughtful, and he is afraid of Ma. The family got money and was not greedy enough, thinking that they had found a mountain of gold that could not be eaten up, so they could come to blackmail at any time.First, he severed the relationship between the daughter and the Ma family, and then publicized the stupidity of Aunt Ma's intentional death in order to win the attention of Lord Hou regardless of her pregnancy.

It was very hot and uncomfortable today, but fortunately there was a strong wind in the middle of the night to make it cooler. Shui Fang said that since the child is destined to follow the wind, he should name it Shui Piao Piao.The nickname is also cheap, just Piao Piao.The corners of Jia Juan's mouth twitched. The child's life was a bit unlucky, and he chose such a fluffy name, so he was not afraid that the child's fate would be rough when he grew up.After thinking about it, I proposed to change the child's name, something red or green, which sounds more comfortable than Piao Piao.

Who knew that Shui Fang's chuckle changed, and he said how my Shui Fang's daughter's name is the same as that of the maids, it sounds very vulgar.Jia Juan had nothing to say, since it was his daughter anyway, he could do whatever he wanted, Piao Piao, it sounds nice if you say it smoothly.

Originally, he wanted to adopt Piao Piao under Liu's name, so that Liu and Li could raise Piao Piao together. Anyway, it is impossible for them to have their own biological children in the future, so it is most appropriate to entrust Piao Piao to them.

According to Jia Juan, the two of them can still take care of each other when they are young, but in their later years, someone must take care of them.Although the Hou Mansion will not treat them badly, it will raise them for a lifetime.But it is more convenient to have a caring little life by my side to take care of everything.

It's impossible to always ask Shui Junyi's wife for this or that in the future, she is not a serious mother-in-law, even if she doesn't say anything, she will have opinions in her heart.It is even more impossible for the servants below to take the two outdated old aunts seriously and take care of them wholeheartedly.

These words were spoken to Liu Shi and Li Shi in front of Shui Fang. The two of them are as affectionate as one person now, and they have never thought about the future at all.No wonder people often say that a woman in love can’t see clearly what’s going on in front of her. Jia Juan felt that what she said was too serious. Let them go back and think about it for a few days. Don’t worry about this matter. Anyway, the child is still young, so put the child in the main courtyard. Well, it's good to be with the young master.

After seeing off the two aunts, Shui Fang looked at the two cradles leaning side by side, and suddenly felt a little bit of pressure. He had a pair of children all of a sudden, and he really didn't get used to it. The difference between the two children was three months. , it seems that the gap is large.Shui Baobao's whole body is fleshy, just like glutinous rice balls, and Shui Piaopiao's small arms and calves are so thin that there is not much flesh.No one would believe that they were brothers and sisters.

Hearing what Jia Juan said to the Liu family just now, Shui Fang first joked about Jia Juan's wild thinking, as long as the Wending Hou Mansion does not get involved in treasonous things such as rebellion, no matter how rich or powerful it is, it will not be a problem.Maybe Wending Hou's Mansion can't even support two aunts?

As long as their daily expenses are not enough to spend a year on socializing outside, as for thinking about things bitterly, it makes people feel chilling.After careful consideration, there is something interesting in these words. "Madam still has the foresight. Madam is in charge of the inner house." While the two were talking, the two children cried at the same time for some reason, and Shui Fang hurriedly helped Jia Juan to coax the children.

Jia Juan hummed an out-of-key tune while shaking Shui Baobao to lull him to sleep. Shui Baobao stopped crying after smelling the familiar scent of his mother.He turned his head and opened his eyes to look at Piao Piao who was held in Shui Fang's arms, his mouth shrunk, and then he opened his hand towards Shui Fang and babbled non-stop.

"This little kid knows he's jealous haha." Shui Fang was overjoyed, he freed up one hand to hug Shui Baobao, looked at Piao Piao on the left who was sleeping soundly with tears hanging on his face, and then teased the right side The baby pulling his hair was very busy.

Jia Juan shook her head amusedly, and called Yuan Yue to help her untangle the bun on her head, ready to go back to sleep after going to sleep. "Master, give the two children to the nanny, squint your eyes for a while, you have to enter the palace later."

Early in the morning, just after Jia Juan had breakfast, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li came over, "Ma'am, everything about Aunt Ma's death, according to Master Hou, should be kept simple. It's just that a young master and young lady have just been added to the mansion. Wouldn't it be too unlucky to have another funeral?" Liu's eyes were dark circles, his face was haggard, and he seemed to have not closed his eyes all night.

Mrs. Li took over the conversation, "Auntie Ma's natal family has come, and only her old lady came. She said that the family was busy with farm work and couldn't get away. When her mother saw Auntie Ma, she fainted from crying. After waking up, she pointed at Aunt Ma's body and cursed, blaming Aunt Ma for being obsessed with being obsessed with selling herself as a slave. Seeing that her words were getting worse and worse, the servant persuaded her to leave."

"Oh, it's always inevitable that a girl who just died will be sad, but there are so many people in this house, how can she continue to talk nonsense. You should take care of Aunt Ma's affairs as soon as possible, and send her away .”

Jia Juan remembered that Ma’s family was a native farmer, and the whole family depended on the sky for their food. If the weather was good and the harvest was good, they would be able to meet basic food and clothing needs. Although Aunt Ma’s life in such a family was not leisurely in the mansion, she was at least happy. If you are a good citizen, you will not be hungry.With Aunt Ma's good looks, she is not afraid to find a good family to marry. Being a decent crew-cut lady outside is no better than Aunt Ma.

To put it bluntly, sometimes people can't be too greedy, forget their original duties, and end up with nothing but a dream. "I remember listening to Mom Guan mentioning that big families in Beijing have many taboos. If the aunt died in the family, the body could not be kept at home, and it would be sent to the Shuiyue Nunnery on the outskirts of the city."

"The maidservant also heard from Mama Guan. No wonder the daughter-in-law who was sent out this morning to buy paper money for joss sticks said it was bad luck when she came back. It turned out to be the reason. The maidservant and Sister Liu are not from the capital, so it's fine if they don't know the rules here. How could Master Hou not know?"

Aunt Ma disappeared in the middle of the night last night, and the gate of the city was closed at that time, but with the badge of the Hou Mansion, the soldiers guarding the city can open the gate and send Aunt Ma to Shuiyue Nunnery overnight.The steward who went to pick up Aunt Ma's family last night came out of the city with the badge of the Hou Mansion, otherwise how could Aunt Ma's old lady enter the city as soon as the city gate was opened.

"Probably Hou Ye doesn't pay much attention to these things. Yuanyue, call Mommy Guan, I have something to say to her." Jia Juan saw Liu's eyes half-closed, thinking that they were extremely sleepy, and was about to send them away. Go back to catch up on sleep. "Madam, I have something to say to you." Mrs. Liu lowered her head, feeling a little sorry for disappointing Madam's kindness.

Jia Juan became curious, and after letting all the maids in the room retreat, he personally helped the two aunts to sit down, and poured them a cup of strong tea to refresh themselves.The two aunts stopped being polite to Jia Juan, and picked up the teacup to drink it up, "The old lady who dealt with Aunt Ma just now, the slave girl said nothing, so she closed her mouth. If my sister didn't stop the slave girl, the slave girl would have been alone." The stick has been knocked over." Jia Juan smiled, unable to see that Li Shi was still lively.

Mrs. Liu twisted Mrs. Li's arm, "What nonsense are you talking about in front of Madam. I am not afraid of making Madam laugh at you for being rude. Madam, please don't be offended. This girl is like a wild child in a servant's house. She only entered the Hou's mansion. Restrain your temper. The servant has a word that I wanted to say to my wife a long time ago. Since my wife came in, not only did she not laugh at the sisters of the servant, but she also treated the servant as her own. It is good to eat and use it. Everything is considered for the servant, saying If you offend Lord Hou, this day is much more comfortable than before." Liu Shi broke down in tears, and Li Shi also cried beside her.

"You guys, oh, don't cry. I heard that the brothers of the Liu family are about to marry a wife. Although the woman is in decline, she is knowledgeable and the head of the housekeeper. Afterwards, the brothers of the Liu family will give birth to a baby. Your Liu family will have a prosperous day. .This hard time is coming to an end. Don’t think about the past.” Jia Juan hurriedly comforted them.

"The Marquis Brothers' marriage was proposed by Lord Hou. If it wasn't for Lord Hou's face, how could they think of him. After all, it was all good deeds done by Lord Hou and his wife. Marquis Wending The family's great kindness and virtue to our Liu family cannot be exchanged in this lifetime." Liu Shi was about to kneel down, but Jia Juan could not let her kneel down and quickly stopped her.

Jia Juan made a serious face on purpose, "I'm not happy if you continue to be so polite." "Yes, it's the servant's fault." Li Shi laughed through tears, pushed Liu Shi and winked, "It's all my sister's fault. Some of these are missing, and my sister still doesn’t make an apology to Madam.”

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, before Liu said hesitantly, "Ma'am, I have discussed with my sister for half a night, and I can't adopt Miss as my name. How can I raise Miss with such an identity as a slave. Besides, slave and sister In that case, it would be bad if someone imitated the lady and delayed her."

"What's the matter?" Jia Juan blinked. .
