Weak Concubine [Qing Wear + Red House]

"This is really a western scene. This morning, Siqi and Xiuju in the room of the second cousin girl were arguing, and the loud noise alarmed the third girl in the nearby yard." Feiling described the strange event that happened today to everyone.

"Girls arguing in the girl's room? This is too unruly. Didn't the nanny of the second cousin take care of her yard, so she didn't punish those two girls?" Nanny Li couldn't see the servants messing up the rules the most. humble.

"My nanny, don't mention that nanny anymore, that nanny caused the incident!" Feiling patted her thigh to attract everyone's attention.

"It was said that Siqi was sick for a few days, so he moved out and didn't serve the girl. The nanny was so cold that no one noticed that she stole the girl's pearls and silk golden phoenix hairpin as a pawn. I don't know if it was because of drinking or gambling. I'm in debt, I heard that this is not the first time he has stolen from the master.

Seeing that it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiuju helped the second cousin prepare the clothes and jewelry for the festival, only to find that they were missing, and asked Siqi, the two had a quarrel, accusing each other of negligence in duty. "

"..."

"..."

The mothers and girls in the whole room were shocked, there was such a tough slave, or the nanny who was in charge of the young lady?This is simply unheard of.

Cui Ling, who was the most irritable, slapped the table:

"Damn it, why didn't such a diabolical slave go back to the manager's board, copy the house and kick him out? Isn't the second cousin girl too soft-tempered?"

Jin Ling shook her head:

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, but the uncle and master live in the garden as the master, and the serious heirs of the mansion only live in a small mansion. The second cousin and a concubine want to be like the third cousin. Being strong is not easy."

"If you want to say that this mansion is strange, it's not that there are no men here, it's actually an old lady who heads the house! Most of the female family members are in charge of the inner house, how can they manage the men's outside affairs?" Yinling said.

"From my point of view, there are no rules in this mansion. There are no rules at all. What kind of reason is this to drive the eldest son of Chengjue to live next to the stable, but let his own son live in the main house?" Fei Ling also couldn't understand how the Jia family did things. The old Jia family didn't care what Jia's mother did. I heard that the patriarch lived in the nearby Ningguo mansion.

"Okay, stop talking. Do you want to be punished if you dare to talk about the master? Even the masters of relatives are not something you can talk about casually!" Sun Nanny reprimanded with a straight face.

Cui Ling secretly stuck out her tongue, and several bell elders hurriedly apologized.

Jinyao played with the golden phoenix Buyao with pearls in twisted silk she just bought in her hand, and said casually:

"It's good to know what's wrong, don't think that you can relax after Mingqu and others are gone, now you four are also first-class big girls, and you want to set an example for the little girls below, you must be thoughtful in everything you say and do! "

"The slave realizes his mistake, please punish the master!"

The four of them knelt down to plead guilty, the other second-class maids bowed their heads and stood against the wall, not daring to make a noise, and the four older mothers also stood up to listen to the training.

"Okay, it's not a big deal, it's just that we just came here as guests, and Mingqu and you guys just got married and you guys just brought it up, so you're not careful enough, and if you lose your head, you'll make people laugh at you Go, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull you if I try to pull you!"

"What the master said is that the slave will not dare anymore!"

"Get up, one person will be fined half a month, and the next time you commit the crime, you will have to double the fine."

"Thank you, Lord!" The four of them stood up together, and the surrounding mothers and girls relaxed, and the atmosphere returned to what it was before.

There are rules in the Nian family, and there are certain rewards and punishments, especially in Jinyao's place. Originally, the people serving her are the most among the brothers and sisters. If the management is not strict, there will be no chaos.

As long as you do your job well, don't make big mistakes, and don't strictly restrain them on weekdays, reasonable talking, laughing and playing are allowed, so you look energetic.

But you must be serious when preaching, and the first-class and second-class girls who can serve in her room have almost grown up with her, and there is no such thing as losing face in front of the little girl.

As soon as the atmosphere recovered, Xi Lan, the youngest of the second class, whispered in Jinling's ear:

"Sister Jinling, why don't you say that Sister Siqi didn't quietly talk to Second Grandma Lian about arguing with Xiuju in the master's house over a hairpin? Shouldn't the key to this matter be to deal with the nanny? Why did it turn into looking for something? Is it? How embarrassing it has alarmed people, this hairpin is lost, wouldn’t it be the end of the Mid-Autumn Festival?”

Jin Ling gave her a twist:

"You girl is too sincere. Do you think that if the second cousin girl has a lot of expensive jewelry, her close girl will be so anxious?"

"Huh? The other girls in our family have never been so embarrassed. I thought... well, I was stupid!"

"This mansion is different from ours. Our wife manages the house well and has always been kind and generous. In addition to the fixed rules for clothes and jewelry every year, the girls of the concubine will also be rewarded on their birthdays. They are also indispensable in normal times. There is no black heart who dares to be greedy." Go, natural and bright.

It is said that there are only four or five sets of clothes a year in this mansion, and one or two pieces of jewelry can be added a year, but it is not necessarily what kind of thing it is. The three girls are all the same, and the clothes and jewelry are the same. Dressed the same at the time, who is missing what can be seen at a glance. "

"what……"

She couldn't help shaking her head, she was very curious at this age, and Jinyao didn't plan to teach them all to be obedient puppets, and generally didn't go too deep into it.

She couldn't figure it out, since the Ming Dynasty, the Jia family was nothing but a martial arts family, and it was only three or four generations old when it really flourished. How could it fall so quickly?

Not to mention the inheritance of the ancestors, but the family wealth, it will not be wiped out so quickly, right?Looking at her mother's huge dowry when she got married, it was obvious that Jia's family was still very rich at that time. Over the years, the number of masters has not increased many, and there are no big riches who can prodigal. How can it be so poor to raise a few girls and concubines? ?

It seems that it is very reasonable to marry a wife and a virtuous person. Their Nian family has only become more prosperous since Mrs. Jia entered the mansion. In the past six or seven years, the former wife only gave birth to the sick and weak elder brother Nian Xiyao. In addition, there is not a single concubine in the mansion.

And her mother gave birth to her second brother in the second year after entering the mansion, and her third brother who was born ten years later. The aunts in the mansion also gave birth to five concubines, and the eldest sister was even half a year older than the second brother.

Over the years, the family has been well managed, and the family property is very rich to support nine children. This makes her not quite understand the situation of the Jia family. Who knows if it is really embarrassing, or if she doesn't want to spend time on the concubine's children.

Take a look at my dozen or so boxes of summer clothes for the current season, the three boxes of jewellery, and the clothes I don’t use frequently, as well as autumn and winter clothes, all of which are sent to the capital mansion that is under renovation. new.

The dyeing technology here is limited, and even the best materials will not look good after being soaked in water several times, so our ladies, grandmas, and wives have to make a lot of clothes every season.

Jinyao brought her sewing lady with her when she came to Beijing this time.

It's just the girl from Jia's family... Jinyao remembers that when she read books in her previous life, she felt that this public family was very contradictory to the young ladies.

Is it right, and they are all raised by the old lady's side, which sounds nice to the outside world, and it is natural that Mrs. Yidai Guo raised them personally.

But when it comes to caring for them, Mother Jia doesn't teach them how to deal with things, she doesn't teach them to be polite, she only teases them in normal times, and she doesn't raise them carefully.

Not to mention those who have a lot of head and face jewelry, and they don’t even have decent clothes for meeting guests. Half old.

This can be seen from the fact that Xue Baochai seldom wears bright jewelry after entering the mansion, and only wears half-worn clothes. This is not because she is simple and does not like to dress up. high performance.

Throw the step shaker in your hand into the box:

"I just delivered it two days before the ceremony, so it won't be good to send it again. Forget it, uncle and aunt are always there, so I don't need to worry about it. Prepare water, I want to take a bath!"

Grandma Sun smiled:

"Sister, just think about it, the most important thing is that you are happy."

Jin Yao narrowed her eyes with a smile, but no, she didn't come here with a mission, and there was no system that asked her to save anyone, so let everything go by chance.

He also said that others, his own family did not have a lawsuit all over their heads.

"Ask Mother He to come and serve."

"girl!"

"Mother He, you are my mother's dowry, do you know what's going on between my mother and my aunt?"

"You don't want to ask, the old slave also plans to tell the girl at night, so that the girl won't be made fun of by others without knowing it."

"Oh? Although my aunt is my father's sister, she seems to be a few years older than my mother. She can't be at her mother's house when my mother gets married, right?"

"This is not like this, you, listen to me tell you what happened back then!"

"Okay, let's start from this mansion. I have always been ignorant. I have never dared to ask directly because I was afraid that my mother would be sad." Listening to stories while taking a bath is also good.

"Madame and Uncle are twins. When they were born, they were taken to the side of their grandmother, Mrs. Madam. At that time, your grandmother gave birth to them and they were not well. They had to take medicine for more than half of the year. Originally, I thought that I would raise them slowly, and then take the twins back when I feel better, but I didn’t want to go there after a common wind and cold, and my wife was only three years old at that time.”

"I've been recuperating my body and I've seen it better, but I went away after suffering from the cold?"

Mother He shook her head and sighed while scooping up water and pouring water on Jinyao's back:

"My wife was still young back then, and I heard all this from Mrs. Tai later. It's hard to find out the details. Less than a year later, the emperor pointed the current Mrs. Shi to the old man as the continuation.

This Mrs. Shi was a female official by the emperor's side. It is said that she was left to the emperor by the Queen Mother Tong. Her brother made great contributions in capturing Obai and was made a marquis. The brothers begged for the emperor's grace, and only then did the marriage be granted. "

"Let me just say that the second uncle is only under 45. Why is the old lady so old? It turned out that she was already 23 when she got married."

"Yes, Mrs. Shi was not as sexual as she is now. When she entered the mansion, she wanted to take over the housekeeping rights. But at that time, the wife and the uncle were so young, how could the wife dare to give her the right? She just got married. He is not familiar with her personality.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not easy, and there were conflicts from time to time, until the wife grew up, and Mrs. Tai surpassed Mrs. Shi and handed over part of the housekeeping rights to the wife, and taught her to be a housekeeper. "

"So the old lady hates my mother?"

"It's only because of this idea! The old man and the old lady had a good relationship back then. The old lady was gentle and tolerant towards his aunt and concubine. After she left, the old man was very sad, and he also valued these two children very much.

But Mrs. Shi's temper is not so good. She is a thorn in the side of the wife and uncle who occupy the positions of the eldest daughter and eldest son. It's just that the wife was protecting her and she couldn't reach so far, but The two concubines did not have a good life, and it happened that the second concubine and the third concubine were hungry and went to steal food when they were young, but they were met by the old man, and the two of them broke their faces.

At that time, Mrs. Shi had a son and a daughter. The old man wanted to take care of his children's face and not cause too much trouble. He just got into a fight with her and moved to live in Lixiangyuan in the northeast corner. He didn't go back to the main courtyard until he went there. . "

"So my mother married my father because of her filial piety?"

Mother He shook her head, Jinyao was surprised, maybe there is another reason...
