Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

"Ma'am, Fourth Miss, please see me."

"Did Si Yatou say something?" It was not the usual time of greeting, Madam Jia was feeling uncomfortable and didn't want to see anyone.

"The fourth girl held the scriptures and said that she copied them herself, and wanted to offer them together when Madam went to the temple."

Mrs. Jia's face stretched a little:

"It's rare that the fourth girl has such filial piety, let her come in."

"Four girls, please!"

"Thank you mom!"

"I've seen my mother!"

Nian's girls had a special nun's upbringing rules since they were young, and the fourth girl's salute was as smooth as flowing water, and it was pleasing to the eye.

Mrs. Jia laughed lightly.

"Sit down, why don't you enjoy the shade in the yard in this hot day? Those who run around are not afraid of getting heat."

"Thanks to my mother for loving me. There is ice in the house, but it is not too hot. In the morning, I heard my mother and my second sister-in-law say that I will go to the temple to ask for a lottery, so I thought about taking the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" I copied earlier. I pray that the Bodhisattva will bless my father and mother in good health, and bless my second brother's title on the gold list, and my fifth sister's success."

Mrs. Jia took it and flipped through it. Seeing that the handwriting was neat and tidy, she obviously put her heart into it. She nodded:

"It's hard for you to have this kind of heart, but you still have to pay attention to rest in hot weather, as long as you have the heart."

"It's all mother's kindness. The daughter can only share her mother's worries on this. It's good that my mother doesn't think I'm stupid."

"What are you talking about stupid? There is no one in our family who is stupid, but there is only one who is lazy and went to the capital."

As he talked, he thought of his own daughter again.

The fourth girl is smart, she immediately changed the subject and talked about other things, and the mother and daughter are at peace.

After sitting for about two quarters (half an hour, we will use modern time to describe it in the future, because there are clocks and watches at this time), the fourth girl got up to leave, and Mrs. Jia said lightly:

"Go and see your aunt, she has been suffering from heatstroke for the past few days and is not feeling well, so she should go and see for me."

"Yes!" The fourth girl narrowed her eyes.

If given a choice, who would want to be a concubine or not a concubine?Fortunately, my aunt is kind, she always knows how to be content.

Taking the two maids around, they went to the east wing rooms on both sides of the road leading to the garden behind the main courtyard.

Mrs. Jia is good to the concubines, everyone has a spacious yard, enough staff to wait on them, and there is never a lack of monthly rewards, but the situation of the aunts in the house is not so good.

I think so, my aunt can't be considered a master, but she is half a slave. It is good to have two rooms and two little maids to serve her. What else can I choose?There are eight aunts living in the wing rooms on both sides of the long road, and her aunt's position is relatively good.

"Auntie, the Fourth Miss is here to see you." The little girl next to Aunt Liu hurriedly ran into the room to announce the good news when she saw the shadow of the Fourth Miss.

Aunt Liu stood up suddenly and fell back on the bed.

"Auntie, how are you doing, Auntie?" The little girl hurried up to help her up.

It happened that the fourth girl had also arrived at the door, and she was shocked to see her like this.

Aunt Liu saw that the fourth girl was busy covering her face with a quilt.

"Miss, get out quickly, it's pickled here, be careful when you're over sick. It's enough for you to be filial to your wife when you have time. I'm fine, so don't worry, girl."

The fourth girl turned her head to hold back her tears:

"It was my mother who asked me to come and visit you for her. Auntie, don't panic."

"My wife is kind. I am sorry for my wife. The girl listened to my aunt's persuasion and must listen to my wife. Only my wife will not harm you!"

"Okay, I will listen to my mother, Auntie, let's rest!"

"I won't send the girl off, girl go slowly!"

The fourth girl almost fled, leaving this cramped place.

This is her biological mother, her aunt's dowry girl became greedy, she didn't enjoy wealth and glory for a day, but lived in shame and embarrassment all day long.

She is still grateful to her aunt, who has been raised by her side since she was born, and has never been treated slowly, and she will still be filial to her in the future.

As soon as the fourth girl left Aunt Liu's place, she ran into the second grandmother Fucha who was going to the main courtyard. The sister-in-law greeted her with a smile and left.

Mrs. Fucha greeted Mrs. Jia every morning and evening, and sometimes had meals with her at noon, which was really filial compared to grandma's usual whistling (perfunctory completion of tasks).

She has been close to her mother-in-law since she got married, and she doesn't hide anything from her. If she doesn't come in, she will say that she saw Miss Si go to her aunt's place.

Mrs. Jia said indifferently:

"I asked her to go. Aunt Liu has been ill for a few days. Let Miss Si go to see if she can recover sooner."

"My mother is kind."

Mrs. Jia shook her head:

"I don't have a kind heart. I just hope that the Bodhisattva will bless you three brothers and sisters, especially Jin'er..."

Naturally, Mrs. Fucha also missed her man, so she suppressed her sadness and persuaded:

"Mother, relax your mind and take care of yourself to be serious. Otherwise, when you see the second master and younger sister, you will lose weight. Wouldn't it worry them?"

"Oh!" Madam Jia patted Fucha's arm.

"The letter I sent before will almost arrive in the capital, and the letter from their brothers and sisters will almost be received. I don't know what's going on in the capital. I just hope that after the draft, I can point out your sister to a stable family, and I don't want to be rich. I just want to have a clean and upright family style, and I am satisfied with being the main wife."

"Mother and Princess Qinghui have already made an agreement, so there shouldn't be any accidents!"

"I hope! My heart is always restless."

Capital

These days Jinyao's ears can't stop.

She originally thought that the turmoil on the racecourse that day had nothing to do with her, and she could just sit back and relax for a few days when she returned to Jia's mansion, thinking that the turmoil outside the mansion did not affect her, but the turmoil inside the mansion hit her.

Zijuan and Xueyan anxiously supported Daiyu, who was about to pass out, and stumbled into Qilan Courtyard, begging:

"Please give me a place for the girl to lie down. I'll beg the old lady and ask the doctor to come and take a look at it, okay?"

Behind him was Jia Baoyu, who looked remorseful and stood hesitantly at the gate of the courtyard, not daring to come in.

"What's wrong with Cousin Lin? Sit down and talk!" Hastily asked someone to lift a couch out and let her lean on it.

Zijuan looked at Baoyu bitterly:

"It's not the second master. I don't know who I met outside. He came back to provoke our girl. The heat has been severe these days. The girl was already taking medicine. She finally came out for a walk to get some air. When she met this enemy, she was so angry. Oh no!"

"Let's invite the doctor first, and I'll talk about the rest later. The second cousin is not here, why don't you go to meet the doctor?"

"What Cousin Nian said is, I'll go right away!"

Lin Daiyu didn't look at him either, she just turned her head to one side, and wept while touching her chest with one hand, not to mention, it was very beautiful to cry.

"Cousin, it's better to save some effort. The body is your own, so you should cherish it even more."

"I'm a miserable person, why should I cherish my body, I'd be clean if I went earlier!"

Zijuan asked again:

"Miss Nian, can we girls go and lie down inside, maybe it will be more comfortable to lie down."

Jinyao feels a headache, you said if you want to make a fuss, can you find a good place, what are you going to do near her Qilan courtyard?Now she is so angry that she is going to faint, and she has to borrow a place to rest nearby. She doesn't mind, but she is just afraid of trouble. If something happens again, can she explain clearly? By the way, which god she has offended recently ?

Grandma Sun frowned, stepped forward and said:

"Miss, forgive me for my blunt words. It is not suitable for Miss Lin to stay here. The uncle usually comes to see the girl at about this time. It's okay for brothers and sisters to talk about it, but if Miss Lin lives here, won't it damage the reputation?

As for Miss Zijuan and Miss Xueyan who are too weak to hold them up, I’m not afraid. We have a lot of strong women, so we can send you back to the old lady’s yard. Wouldn’t it be more convenient for your doctor to come over for treatment? "

The old lady's courtyard is next to the main courtyard, which is naturally closer to the gate of the mansion.

Zijuan patted her head:

"After all, Mammy is thoughtful, and I asked Mammy to borrow two mothers to help!"

Nanny Sun hurriedly arranged for someone to carry Daiyu on her back, and sent her back to the old lady's yard without delay.

Once the two troubles were gone, Jin Ling and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Feiling was dissatisfied and said:

"Zijuan seems to be a good person, but she is useless in an emergency. How can someone send a patient to someone's room without being afraid of others' jealousy?"

"That's right, how can we spare the sick in the girl's room? It's impolite to cry in someone's house. I heard that Miss Lin is the daughter of a second-rank official. Why are the rules so bad? I hang out with the second master Bao all day long." , and I'm not afraid of losing the names of the girls of the Lin family."

"Okay, let's not say a few words. Living in someone else's house is like doing whatever you want. Besides, how polite they are is their business. We just don't want to be rude." Jin Yao reprimanded lightly.

She knew that the maids and women in her yard were superstitious, it should be said that they were superstitious brought by their mother.

Because of the twins and premature birth, she was not in good health when she was born, and her mother tried every means to bring her up, and she was usually most afraid of unlucky things appearing around her.

For example, a girl’s name must have auspicious characters, her clothes must be bright and colorful, she is not allowed to go to the place where pickles are soaked, sick people are not allowed in her room, maids are not allowed to cry in her yard, etc., even if She is in good health now, but this habit has not changed.

Grandma Sun said:

"Girl, don't worry. I took the opportunity to help Miss Lin just now. I just took the pulse of Miss Lin. It's just that I lost my breath for a while. When you recover, you'll be fine. In the future, you don't have to be afraid of offending people when you encounter such things. the most important."

In fact, Nanny Sun's medical skills are definitely not a problem, and Lin Daiyu slowed down before the doctor came, but Jin Yao's behavior of not keeping anyone else annoyed the old lady.

Everyone is like this, and they only think about things from the perspective of the people closest to them. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with sending Daiyu who is seriously ill to Qilan Hospital, but she only blames Jinyao for being too cold-hearted and sending her out.

In the past few days, I have been trying to teach her a lesson.

It's a pity that Jinyao lives far away, and besides, she doesn't come to her every day to say hello, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, so both the house and Nian's brothers and sisters are busy all the time.

After several times of finding fault, Jinyao easily dodged it, which made Jia's mother even more upset, and she would criticize whenever she had the opportunity.

This day, Jinyao routinely greeted the old lady once every two days. As soon as she met Jiamu, she noticed the difference in her, and asked:

"On weekdays, I see that you are dressed in luxurious and lively clothes. Why are you wearing plain clothes when the holidays are coming?"

Mandarin Duck and Amber naturally knew that the old lady was getting older and liked auspicious and festive colors rather than plain ones. If it was someone else, they would have jokingly reminded them early in the morning, but for Nian Jinyao, the two of them were a little embarrassed and dared not speak casually.

To say that Nian Jinyao is not their serious master, but this demeanor and imposing manner made them dare not fight around like other girls and grandmas in front of her.

As for Wang Xifeng, ever since she found out about Jia Wei's dowry, she never smoothed things over for Jinyao, and only watched from the sidelines when she saw her fight with Jia's mother.

Jinyao caressed a row of fan-shaped white jade hairpins on her head and said with a smile:

"Originally, I should dress up festively, but this year is different from the past. Before entering Beijing, my mother told me and my second brother that going to Beijing must be a taboo for Mrs. Tai and my grandfather and grandmother. It just so happens that Mrs. Tai will be taboo soon. I My second brother and I plan to go to the monastery to kneel in the scriptures, and do a water and land exercise to show our filial piety. No, we have to fast in advance."

As soon as these words came out of the room, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard on the ground, and Jiamu's face fell off with a "shua".

The girls didn't understand anything except Yingchun, Tanchun and Baochai. Look at me and I see you. It was Baochai who gently pulled Daiyu and Baoqin beside him, and quietly pulled one by one back. go out.

Standing at the door, Tanchun whispered:

"Second sister, it's not good for us to come out, right? Sister Nian and Cousin Nian started this matter, we should listen to it as a generation!"

Yingchun lowered her head and whispered:

"Cousin is different from us, just wait, she will call us naturally if there is something about us."

The scene was silent for a while, and Jia Mufang laughed and said:

"Your mother is so disciplined, why is she tabooing the ex-wife every year in the mansion?"
