Ai Ruo's life in the red mansion

Ai Ruo felt that Jia Zheng was 50 years old, so he could do it with peace of mind, and those unstable factors had been eliminated.Besides, Jia Fen will have to participate in the second draft in March next year. After the draft is over, next year or two, she will have to be busy with her wedding and dowry.This should be the last big birthday for the youngest daughter to stay at home for Jia Zheng, how could Ai Ruo not handle it well.

Ai Ruo also wants to do it for him. For men, over half a century is a worthy birthday just like sixtieth birthday.For the sake of his family and his children, he has really worked hard for more than 20 years. When he was 30 years old, his family had a meal and nothing happened. At the age of 40, there was something to do at home, so I didn't do it.At fifty, if she didn't do it, she would feel sorry for Jia Zheng.So when Mrs. Xiao Liu came to ask, she hurriedly said that she must handle it well, the master has not been easy these years.

Xiao Liu nodded, she also felt that it was not easy for her father-in-law, besides, whose family's [-]th birthday would not be held!Busy with Miaoyu, who has already separated from her family, to make arrangements together.

Jia Zhen and the others also came to help, and Jia She and his wife, who were far away at the border, also sent back a heavy gift. Jia She was 50 years old at the border. Really can't leave, Xiao Heitan's time is more flexible.It fully demonstrated the attitude of being a younger brother and sister-in-law.

With these conditions, there is no reason not to arrange for Jia Zheng, so in the early morning of the day, she dressed Jia Zheng herself. Of course, in these years, she would dress Jia Zheng most of the time, isn't it? Whoever serves whom, sometimes feelings are like this, slowly a little bit, so it accumulates.At this time, seeing his white hair still couldn't help but feel sad, they also reached this age.

"What's the matter?" Jia Zheng quickly asked after seeing the way Ai Ruo looked at him.For the past few years, Ai Ruo has been in a bad mood, and so has he. Anyone with a sword hanging over their head will not be in a good mood, it's just their fiftieth birthday.Even if he doesn't want to do it, if outsiders don't know, they may still think what's going on at home.And the children refused to let them do it, except that Jia Fen's problem was not solved, and the other children were considered successful, so at this time, they didn't do it.The children's face can't get over it.

"Master has so many gray hairs."

"Fortunately, your hair isn't too gray." Jia Zheng smiled lightly, but couldn't help feeling sad along with it.

In the past few years, Ai Ruo has grown old all of a sudden. It turns out that a person's age has such a great relationship with his mood. In the past few years, Ai Ruo has grown old in front of him, with clumps of white hair. Although he doesn't move much at night, But he knew that she was not moving because she was not asleep at all.But he was afraid of startling himself, so he remained motionless.For the little daughter.She was really going crazy.

"It's really all white, is the master going to dislike it?" Ai Ruo said deliberately, this was a joke they used to make when they were young, but now, talking about it again, it has a different flavor.

"As long as Madam doesn't dislike me, I will truly be blessed by my ancestors." Jia Zheng hurriedly begged for mercy exaggeratedly.

"Master, thank you, really, thank you for tolerating me all these years." Ai Ruo said to Jia Zheng seriously.She knew she had a bad temper.In the past few years because of Jia Fen, she couldn't lose her temper in front of her daughter, but could only quarrel with Jia Zheng in private, and Jia Zheng just accepted it silently. Now that I think about it, Jia Zheng's temper really got better and better. She feels bad about herself.

Jia Zheng shook his head. After a while, he took her hand and rubbed it lightly. Ai Ruo had become thinner in the past few years, and the skin on his hands seemed a little loose, not as white as when he was young.For a while, "I used to think, what would I be without you?"

Ai Ruo waited for him to speak, but he stopped there, but did not continue, Ai Ruo looked at him sideways.

He smiled, and for a while, "I talked with Brother Buqun, saying what would happen if I didn't take the exam. Guess what he said?"

"I can't guess." Ai Ruo shook her head, she couldn't guess what Lu Buqun's delicate liver could think of, "He said, I will become a useless person."

"Don't listen to him, I still regret it now. If I didn't force the master back then, maybe our family of six could live happily in the countryside. Yuan'er can marry Yuan'er, our fan'er..." Ai Ruozhen I was so sad that I couldn't speak.

For her, she knew that if Jia Zheng didn't take the exam, it would be nothing.Maybe it would be fine if they didn't take the exams. They are in the countryside, and they are comfortable rich people, which is actually quite good.She really regrets it now, if Jia Zheng hadn't been allowed to study at the beginning, if he had been a good and stupid father, maybe her children would have had a happier life.In particular, her two daughters failed to get the ordinary happiness she expected.

"You are so stupid!" Jia Zheng sighed softly and shook his head.

He didn't want to tell her that these days, he had been having the same dream. In the dream, his family was different, and his brother didn't go to the border, but was drunk and dreamed of dying after his sister-in-law died.But the wife has never been tough, forcing herself to separate the family, and letting herself devote herself to learning.

They lived in Rongguo Mansion, and he lived in Rongxitang after his father died, and asked a small official to be a small official after his father died.Then their Zhu'er died, Yuan'er entered the palace and became a court lady, and the one who was born with jade became his own son, and finally became a monk; Yuan'er was not born to his wife, but a vulgar servant girl. born.He watched his family go to prison, the old lady died in desperation, and finally the family was ruined!

Every time he woke up, he was covered in cold sweat.He opened his eyes and saw the old wife next to him, and he settled down again. It was a dream, and he could close his eyes again with peace of mind when he hugged the old wife in his arms.

But that dream was too real, and at this moment, he had no interest in celebrating his birthday. He had to think that in the dream, he also celebrated his birthday, and then a decree came from the palace that his Yuan'er became a virtuous concubine.Even if this is impossible at this time, he still rejects it in his heart.

Because of the birthday in the dream, brother-in-law died, Yuan'er entered the palace, Zhu'er also died, there is no black carbon, but there is a spoiled precious jade.Come to think of it, that birthday, what is there to celebrate.Even if all of this is impossible now, he is still in a bad mood.Even if Yuan'er didn't enter the palace, their Fen'er had to. In the dream, Fen'er became a concubine, and for the sake of the family, she became a foster daughter for the princess of Nan'an County, and went out to marry her, so that she could return to the king of Nan'an County.In the final analysis, all of this is the responsibility of his failure to be a good parent.If he had lived up to his expectations, all this would not have happened. Thinking of his dream, when he was 50 years old and had to ask Mrs. Ji, he was so ashamed that he could not speak.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked his wife just now, what would he be like without her.That's right, all these changes started with his wife. She made a fuss and broke the family, took them out of Rongfu, invited Lu Buqun, and forced him to take the exam and make progress.And found the most suitable path for him. They have supported each other until today. Although the process was difficult, but step by step, they protected the child together. Now Zhu Er has learned something; Er'er will not wither in the palace, complaining that her parents sent her to that shady place; only Fan'er, although he is heartbroken, has to admit that it might be a great thing to change to another family. .

But seeing his wife's appearance, he still changed the subject. She was already very anxious, so it's better not to make her suffer with him.

The birthday banquet should naturally be more grand. Jia Zheng is really full of peaches and plums now. Even if he doesn't celebrate his birthday every year, the students still come to give gifts.This year is a big birthday, so naturally the students will do it too.Especially the few in Beijing who were very good at it, ran out and in to help, Jia Zhu didn't show politeness to them, divided the scope of responsibility, and let them go.But that's right, in the mainstream values ​​at this time, besides God, saints, and parents, the most important thing is the teacher.It seems normal for them to do so.

The courtiers and nobles will also do it. Last time in the draft, the Jia family's daughter had acne and applied for the postponement of the selection. As a result, it was originally thought that Prince Ding would at least refer to one or two side concubines, but it turned out that there was no such thing.Although the Ministry of Rites did not notify, there was meaning in the words, and there will be another draft in March next year.

Now everyone also understands that in the previous draft, the eldest daughter of the Jia family was selected as the princess of Dongping County, and it was Liu Rui's will.Then after so many years, Leng didn't mention the draft anymore, and let them marry on their own, even the couples of the clan saints didn't bother to care about it.As a result, two years ago, the draft, which had been suspended for many years, was suddenly added to the regulations. Everyone was still guessing, and now there is no need to guess.So everyone came together to celebrate Jia Zheng's birthday.

In the inner house, there were also ladies gathered, but they all stared at the only girl in Jia's family who hadn't decided to go out yet, Jia Yu.They no longer had any expectations for Jia Fen. After they had praised Jia Fen one by one, they immediately turned to Jia Fen. If it wasn't for the face of the second uncle and the second aunt on this occasion, she wouldn't be bothered to come out, but she was pulled over by this one as a gift, and turned around and pulled over by the other one to get a bracelet, Jia Huang felt her face was about to twitch .

Jia Fen wanted to save her, but Ai Ruo lightly pulled her, Jia Fen's temperament had to be changed, no matter whose house he would go to in the future, this kind of temperament was really unpleasant.Even if you are not happy, you have to endure it.

Jia Fen could only help her out of the siege at the right time, but she didn't help her stop it. Ai Ruo looked at the two sisters and was a little moved. Only relatives could see Jia Fen's impatience. His daughter is really well-bred, the little girl is well-behaved, quiet, and shy; and Jia Fen is on the side, helping in a timely manner, so that people will not find Jia Fen's impatience, but she does not show her beauty.Ai Ruo was touched by how successful his education was.

And for these noble wives, these two sisters are too rare.Although Jia Fen is not something they can imagine, Jia Fen is possible.Although Ning's mansion is not as prosperous as Rong's mansion, Miss Huan was raised by Ai Ruo's side. She grew up with Jia Fen since she was a child, and they are not bad sisters.Seeing the way Jia Fen is protecting Jia Xun now, everyone is more determined to go home and find out what the Ning Mansion is saying.
