Jia Juan of the New Red Mansion

Mother Guan listened to Master Hou and his wife talking about serious matters, and led the people to retreat quietly. When the nannies took the young master and young lady away, the two children lay on the nannie's shoulders and kept writhing, with a look of reluctance on their faces. He babbled at his parents and lost his temper.After Jia Juan coaxed her for a long time, the two young ancestors went back to catch up on sleep with the nanny.

"Can they understand?" Hearing Jia Juan's promise to the children that he would accompany them to the garden to see the flowers, Shui Fang pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that the way the wife communicated with the children was quite interesting. "I can understand, but I just don't understand the meaning. Say it a few times, and they will understand."

In Jia Juan’s previous life, she often saw her neighbor’s sister chatting with her son all day long. For example, when eating, she would say, “Come on, let’s have dinner. Today, there is egg custard that my baby likes most. This is egg Soup, made of eggs.Jia Juan also had the same reaction as Shui Fang at the time, wondering if such a young child could understand the words, and asked the neighbor's sister out of curiosity.

The neighbor's sister said with a smile, don't look at them as if they don't talk about anything, but they are very clear, otherwise, how could they recognize people.Jia Juan didn't know if there was any scientific reason for this statement.However, after thinking about it, it does make sense.Therefore, Jia Juan drew on the experience of her neighbor's sister in raising children and applied it to the two children.

Shui Fang nodded, women are better at taking care of children, "I'm going to leave tomorrow, the lady in this mansion is tired." ?” Shui Fang didn’t tell Jia Juan that he had secretly returned to Beijing for many days, and only said that he returned to the Hou Mansion in the middle of the night after helping the emperor with an important matter.

As soon as Jia Juan heard that the emperor called him urgently, he didn’t ask any further questions. He thought that after completing the errands for the emperor, he would have a few days off to rest at home and then go back to Yangzhou. He didn’t expect to leave so soon, “There are changes in the south of the Yangtze River. "Shui Fang said in a secretive way, without asking, he knew that he might be involved with the Zhen family again.

According to what Jia Juan said, the Zhen family just had enough to eat and had nothing to do to find something to do, and they didn't know what they were so active for.I haven't seen that the old emperor treats his own son with cruelty. Could it be that for the sake of an outdated imperial concubine, he would turn a blind eye to what the Zhen family did? .

"A few days ago, I got a Northeast ginseng treasure. Please help me take it to Mrs. Lin. I heard that she is not feeling well recently. Sigh..." When Lin Jiashi was in the boudoir, a group of maids and mother-in-law waited on her. Living the life of a pampered and well-fed lady from the Principality, where did she experience such suffering.

Shui Fang frowned. Although Madam and Mrs. Lin are considered cousins, but the two have never been in contact with each other, how could they send old ginseng for no reason, unless it is. . "Ma'am, what have you heard?" "What are you listening to? Oh, you are asking about the Lin family?" Jia Juan likes to listen to the gossip about the aristocratic family in the capital when Jia Juan has nothing to do.

Once, Mrs. Li inadvertently mentioned that the eldest son of Lin Yushi's family was abducted, and later the child's body was found on the hillside outside the city.Mrs. Lin was so sad that she aborted the baby in her stomach.The people who listened felt very pitiful, they finally got sick and grew up, but they encountered such a disaster, they don't know who is so cruel, and they can do it to a child.

Because the two families are related, and the masters of the two governments work together in the same yamen, Jia Juan took it to heart and thought of finding an opportunity to send the supplements to Yangzhou as a way of expressing condolences. "Did Mrs. Li say that?" Shui Fang asked expressionlessly.

It's true that Brother Lin was kidnapped by the gangsters, and it's true that his whereabouts are unknown now.The servants of the Lin family who knew about this at the beginning, Mr. Lin had issued a gag order, and Mr. Lin's picky vision is not wrong. Shui Fang believes that these people are not talkative.There is only one possibility, which is the news that the gangster deliberately spread to the outside world.

Jia Juan was startled by Shuifang's expression, and told the details of how Li's family and Li's marriage had been recognized in detail, and then explained for Li, who also listened to Li's sister-in-law. "It turned out to be his family." The Li family is a family of Qingliu officials who have fallen into poverty. Shui was able to find this marriage for Liu Hao because he had investigated the other party's details.

"The wives of the Li family seem to be good people, but their mouths are broken. Since Lord Hou doesn't like it, let Mrs. Li have less contact with them in the future." Jia Juan obviously misunderstood.Lord Hou waved his hand, "That's not the case. It's a good thing that the Liu family and the Li family have more relatives to go around. Don't stay in the mansion all day long." See the doorway.

"Ma'am, you don't need to take this matter to heart. There is no problem with the Li family. I'm just wondering where this word came from." The master stayed in the capital and now works in the household department.It seems that they are all inconspicuous positions, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor wants to reuse the Li family. From the outside, the emperor promoted his two sons because of old man Li's face.

It's a pity that Mr. Li died early, otherwise the Li family would have climbed even higher.However, this is also good, compared to the few high-ranking families, the Li family is nothing in the eyes of everyone.It is not necessarily a good thing to have a big tree to attract the wind. If you are not careful, it will become a stepping stone for others.

According to the situation of the Li family at that time, what old man Li could say to his two sons about a good marriage, if the married daughter-in-law does not dislike their family's downfall, it is considered a woman's virtue.As Jia Juan said, the two wives are not bad people, and they have a good reputation among the officials' wives, but there are some minor problems.Now that the Li family has recovered, it's time to tell them well, and the minor problems of the two official wives should also be corrected.

"Master Hou, could it be this matter..."

"Ma'am, Aunt Zhen is here." Ye Er sent a message outside the house.

Jia Juan stopped talking, looked at Hou Ye's expression, saw his undisguised disgust on his face, and felt more and more curious, "Hou Ye, look..." Jia Juan told She has said several times that she doesn't pay attention here, and she doesn't need aunts to set rules in front of her, she will report it every day as if she didn't hear it.

Hou Ye said impatiently, "Let her in." After finishing speaking, he picked up his teacup and placed himself on the shelf to sit at the top. Jia Juan usually saw his easy-going side, but suddenly saw that he was serious and serious. Not used to it.

"Let her in."

"Yes, Aunt Zhen, please."

"Excuse me, Miss Ye'er."

The conversation outside the door reached Jia Juan's ears. Aunt Zhen was very polite even to a third-class maid who raised the curtain. Should she be praised for being well-educated, or should she be said to be well-versed in the world? Hearing this voice is so soft that it almost melts water. Well, the Zhen family should have spent a lot of effort on her, otherwise she wouldn't have been sent to the Marquis Mansion. It seems that this outstanding girl is not like a lady of the family, she is simply a typical good seedling of the junior three.

After Aunt Zhen entered the room, she saluted respectfully and greeted her, then stepped aside, never raising her head to peek at Lord Hou from the beginning to the end, her respectful attitude made it impossible to find fault.What annoys Jia Juan most is her point, you say, everyone makes mistakes, how can there be someone like her who has no faults at all.

Sometimes, Jia Juan always felt that she was like a humanoid specimen, perfect and creepy, especially her pair of vicissitudes of life eyes, one could tell that she was a person with a story. "Auntie, please sit down." Hou Ye was silent for a long time, so Jia Juan had no choice but to speak out.

"Slaves don't dare, there is no place for slaves in front of Lord Hou and Madam." Sure enough, Jia Juan heard this sentence a lot, and could probably guess her next tone.As usual, Jia Juan sent her away after a few casual words with her. "Ma'am, I told you to sit down, you just sit down, where did you learn the weird sound. Is this the problem taught by the Zhen family?" Up there, Lord Hou finally agreed to open his mouth, which made Jia Juan almost laugh out loud.

Aunt Zhen raised her head, with Wang Qiushui swirling in her eye sockets, she cried out in a cry of grievance, "Master Hou, slave girl..." Shui Fang put down the teacup and made a loud bang, which scared everyone in the room With a jump, "That's enough, I didn't say anything about you, what is it like crying." Aunt Zhen didn't expect that Master Hou would not even do superficial kung fu, and immediately shut up knowingly.

"You have nothing to do here, you go back first." Jia Juan came out to smooth things over.

"Yes, the maidservant is leaving first." Aunt Zhen hesitated for a while.

After asking someone to put on new tea, "Master Hou, what's the matter with you today, just send her out, why lose your temper because of her." Jia Juan is not the Holy Mother. Auntie blows her beard and stares, she is actually very proud of herself.

Hou Ye was disturbed by Aunt Zhen so that he lost his mood to drink tea, "You will rarely see her in the future, it's strange. It was normal to hear her talk in Yangzhou, but why did you become yin and yang when you arrived in the capital. During these days, Who has she met?" There was an indescribable weirdness about Aunt Zhen, which was a little unsettling.

Jia Juan thought for a while, "I put her in Jumowu in the south. The small courtyard is not far from the red incense gardens of the Liu family and the Li family. I can't hide the actions of the two aunts in Jumowu. During these days Aunt Zhen, except for taking a walk in the back garden occasionally after meals, stays at home in Jumowu. Her little maid named Cai'er is a lively master."

"By the way, if you want to say who she met, she just met a little eunuch in the palace, who is from the palace of Concubine Zhen. Qin Da has seen the waist badge, it can't be fake." Jia Juan remembered this incident , feel the need to report the situation.

Shui Fang had already heard about this from Qin Dana, "Concubine Zhen is too busy to take care of herself now. Hmph, I really thought she was the only woman in the Zhen family, so don't pay attention to her." News spread from the palace.Concubine Zhen and Zhen Jieyu publicly expressed their discord, and now the aunt and nephew are fighting lively, how can they have the time to take care of a little aunt.
