A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

When Nanny Qian heard the news and went to the main room, Jia Min already knew about it. Her face was a little pale, and she looked at the green leaves outside the window in a daze.

Under Qian Nanny's distressed gaze, Jia Min wiped the corners of her eyes: "Mommy, let's go, let's go to Lanxin Courtyard."

Qian Momo should be, her heart was ruthless, she promised that the heir of the Lin family can only come from the belly of their Jia family!

She must be perfectly prepared for her lady!

-

In Lanxin Courtyard, Lin Ruhai's face is full of spring breeze.

Compared to when he heard the good news from Aunt Mei, he restrained himself a little now, but he was still happy.

This is the first time that Yun Shuyao saw the joy in him so clearly.

In a way, she, an employee, is now realizing the most important value considered by this era, and it is natural for the chairman to be happy.

Lin Ruhai held her hand: "Shu Yao, what do you want to eat? Last time you said the roast duck was good, how about one? If you don't want to eat the roast duck, there is also Biyu 羮, which tastes good too."

Compared to Aunt Mei's severe morning sickness reaction, Yun Shuyao was more sensitive to the smell of mutton, but everything else was normal.

Therefore, Yun Shuyao accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, master."

She knew that the time had come for her to feast.

Auntie's meals are set, and Yun Shuyao is not willing to use her three taels of monthly silver to add meals to herself every day. She wants to save money and enjoy the food, so she can only be satisfied at the same time when Lin Ruhai comes.

The head of the family's portion is much more abundant than hers.

Now that she is pregnant, she doesn't like to drink the expensive bird's nest as water, but meat, all kinds of meat, is enough.

Speaking of which, eating meat is more affordable than eating bird's nest.

Seeing Yun's eating happily, Lin Ruhai also smiled.

It is a blessing to be able to eat.

Seeing her eating so deliciously, Lin Ruhai, who had been fidgeting for a while because of Aunt Mei's severe morning sickness, was very relieved.

The old lady came and saw that the table was full, and she also smiled, with two deep creases at the corners of her eyes.

If Yun Shuyao hadn't said enough was enough, she would have added more food.

"Knowing how to eat is a blessing. Tell me, Yun's next order will follow me." Her order is the best, but she worships Buddha and basically only eats vegetarian food.

Mother Wang: "Yes."

Just like Aunt Mei, the old lady asked someone to bring two big boxes over, her eyes full of kindness: "If you need anything, just mention it. Speaking of which, you should miss your mother too. I'll send someone a letter, please She came to take care of you."

The old lady treats everyone equally.

What treatment was given to Aunt Mei, what treatment is given to Yun Shuyao now.

Wang Momo, and her two servant girls, Yushan and Yuchan, were also assigned to Lanxinyuan.

Wang Momo was the one who came to ask her if she would like to enter the Lin Mansion as a concubine. She was experienced and steady. Yushan was good at cooking and medicinal food. Yuchan could live her mother's true biography with her needlework.

All are talents.

Seeing this scene, Jia Min's face was calm.

There was the example of Aunt Mei before, and she had already expected it.

But... She looked at Aunt Yun.

She was also laughing and rejoicing, but she was much more restrained than Aunt Mei.

His attitude towards her has not changed, and his respect remains the same.

This made Jia Min's impression of her a little bit higher, and she came from a scholar family, who knew more rules than a merchant family.

Then, she looked at the old lady, struggling with how to speak.

The two aunts didn't look at beauty or family background when they entered the door, but at the horoscope that the old lady begged for.

Now that the two aunts are pregnant, Jia Min has no choice but to believe that the old lady met an expert!

Then, can an expert also help her get a child?

Thinking of this on the way here, most of Jia Min's mind was on it.

They didn't stay for long. Seeing that the night was getting dark, the old lady asked everyone to leave on the grounds that she needed to rest earlier.

When they left, Yun Shuyao couldn't help laughing as she looked at the beaming crowd in Lanxin Courtyard.

Happy, indeed happy.

One is that she has a child connected by blood, and the other is that she suddenly became rich.

Yun Shuyao gave the three newcomers who had been temporarily seconded a meeting ceremony, and then impatiently opened the two big boxes sent by the old lady.

The first thing that catches the eye is an arm-long white jade statue of Avalokitesvara, wrapped in red silk, which highlights the luster of the jade. In addition, Avalokitesvara has a kind face, and the fat baby in his hand is very expressive. Yun Shu Yao didn't understand jade, so she could tell that it was expensive, and estimated that one or two thousand silver was indispensable.

In addition, there are Ruyi with pomegranate patterns, expensive fabrics with gourd patterns, vases in the shape of melons and vines, and a head set in the shape of lotus flowers... These things are of course valuable, but they are all related to the meaning of many children.

The only thing that didn't matter was a small box of gold and silver beads.

It can be said that this is the least valuable thing, but it is also the only thing she can use directly.

Yun Shuyao: "..."

She couldn't help blinking.

There are tens of thousands of taels of silver here, but the most convenient and easy-to-use cash is only 500 taels, which is quite different.

If she is short of money, can she pawn the things given by these old ladies?

However, Yun Shuyao was already very satisfied.

Her net worth soared from a few hundred taels to tens of thousands of taels a day. Besides, isn't 500 taels very little?

The entire Yun family emptied out their wealth, only about 500 taels.

This is still the scholar's home.

If it is an ordinary family, in addition to the ancestral house, if the deposit of silver can be more than a hundred taels, it is a small rich family.

There are still many people who have to work for a month to guarantee their rations for that month.

500 taels is enough for her to buy another shop or some fields.

After being overjoyed, Yun Shuyao quickly planned how to spend the 500 taels.

She has the right to use other items, and only the 500 taels are cash sent directly to her account.

It is equivalent to her bonus.

It is a waste of money to stay in the account all the time.

But at this moment, in Meixiangyuan, Aunt Mei was aroused by the news of Yun's pregnancy, and her appetite, which had finally improved a little, lost her appetite again, she couldn't eat anything, and was extremely irritable.

She looked anxiously at the person sitting on the table drinking tea: "Auntie!"

Gao put down her teacup, sighed, walked over and patted her head, and comforted her: "Ruixue, why are you so anxious, she is already pregnant, and you can't do anything, listen to my aunt, don't think so much, Give birth to a son well, this is the most important thing, you know, will my aunt hurt you, hold back for a while."

Gao is also in a hurry.

The only one is too different from the only one.

The daughter's advantage was instantly leveled.

But now, there is no rush.

Knowing her daughter's temperament, Mrs. Gao repeatedly mentioned the importance of this pregnancy to her, finally calmed her down, and fell asleep on the bed.

Sitting by the bed, Gao shi looked at her daughter's face that had lost a lot of weight after she became pregnant, and frowned in the night. After thinking about it for a while, she sighed faintly.

The daughter's luck is indeed a bit worse.

However, the time is still long.

Counting the days, the daughter is a month earlier than the Lanxinyuan, and the eldest son will be born by then.

Firstborn, the meaning is different.

Don't be in a hurry.

If you're in a hurry, it's easy to lose your sense of proportion. She has to think about it...

This night, there was an extra Jia Min who went to the ancestral hall. After offering incense to the ancestors, she couldn't wait to ask who the horoscope was a gift from.

Lin Ruhai also wanted to know.

He didn't believe that there was anything special about this horoscope before, he just followed his stubborn mother, but now, he felt that his mother might really have met an expert.

With luck, maybe the curse of their Lin family's single lineage can be ended.

The old lady twirled the beads and closed her eyes: "I met that master at Zhutang Temple, he only left me this birthday horoscope, and then he traveled all over the world and hasn't returned yet, I can't contact him. "

Lin Ruhai was thoughtful: "Is it the Zhutang Temple in Qingyun Mountain?"

Old lady: "Exactly."

Jia Min cheered up: "Perhaps other masters will have news of where he is traveling."

The old lady shook her head: "I know Master is not from Zhutang Temple, I met him by chance when he was temporarily resting in Zhutang Temple."

The old lady is also very sorry about this.

Jia Min didn't give up, and planned to ask someone to ask him.

The old lady saw it and said nothing.

Jia Min wanted to have a child, and even if the old lady had a big opinion on the Jia family, she still had anger towards Jia Min, but she would not have any dissatisfaction with the offspring she gave birth to.

If she could find a way to conceive early, the old lady would be happy to see it happen.

-

Yun Shuyao woke up the next day and found that the furnishings in the room had changed so much that she almost couldn't recognize them.

All the things that the old lady gave were laid out, and the furniture in the room was wrapped in soft cloth, and the sharp things disappeared.

Her sewing basket was gone, too.

There are some more books on the table.

Yun Shuyao asked: "Where do these books come from?"

The eyes of Hongxiu's smile turned into crescent moons: "Master sent someone to relieve my aunt early in the morning. There are also two sets of four treasures of the study, some porcelain, aunt, especially this set of tea set from the empty mountains and clear rain, which I got by chance before." , Master likes it very much."

Then, when she remembered something, she said again: "Auntie, you can't read books and practice calligraphy for too long, it's easy to hurt your mind."

"The needle and thread can't be moved anymore. If you want to do something, we can do it."

Wang Momo came in with a jade fan and two big food boxes: "Auntie, this is today's breakfast."

Yun Shuyao looked at the crystal dumplings, scallop shell porridge, bird's nest egg custard, steamed buns, shredded chicken porridge, soft gold shredded cake...the table was full.

This is the most sumptuous breakfast she has had so far.

Wang Momo took them out one by one, carefully observing Aunt Yun's expression, if any of them showed any abnormal expression, she would take them away immediately, so as not to spoil her appetite.

Fortunately, when all the food was brought out, Aunt Yun only had a smile on her face.

I have to say that Aunt Yun is a good servant.

Nanny Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It didn't take long for Nanny Wu to go to Aunt Mei's place, and she lost several kilograms due to worry. When she gave birth, she didn't know what would happen to her.

There are many kinds of breakfast, but the portion is compared with her previous food intake, so she won't be full. After Yun Shuyao finishes eating, she is very satisfied. Food can bring people a good mood.

After breakfast, Nanny Wang suggested that she take a walk, and after that, Aunt Yun's mother should arrive.

——Similarly, from today onwards, she doesn't need to greet Jia Min anymore.

When Mrs. Song got the news last night, she was excited all night.

Also worried about gains and losses all night.

Talking about things that I don't know what I'm talking about with my family members, while busy making some special dishes for my daughter, packing up the underwear I made for my daughter during this time, and going out early in the morning.

It was Yunheng and Yunyan brothers who sent her here.

After they were delivered to the door, they had to go to private school.

After hesitating for a while at the tall door of the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Song mustered up the courage to step forward.

Before she could speak, the gatekeeper had already asked with a smile, "Is it Aunt Yun's mother? This way please."

Seeing this smile, Song felt a little more at ease: "I'm sorry."

She first went to pay her respects to the magistrate's wife.

After just a quick glance, he didn't dare to look directly at this fairy concubine-like nobleman, his hands and feet were a little stiff.

However, the magistrate's wife was more amiable than she imagined.

He also invited her to drink tea and have some snacks.

When Mrs. Song left Bitao Courtyard, she obviously breathed a sigh of relief. The maids of Bitao Courtyard saw it, and some of them couldn't help laughing, which made Mrs. Song blush when they heard it.

It's no wonder people make fun of him for being so unstable despite his age.

When the maid was laughing, Qian Momo was also beside her, and she smiled and glanced at the little girl who was laughing out loud, her words were reproachful, but her tone was very relaxed: "Don't let your wife find out about you like this , this is impolite."

The servant girl was smiling, knowing that Madam Qian was not blaming her: "Mommy, I just smiled, why was I being rude, this is the lady of Yun Xiucai's family, she really is a small family."

The clothes she was wearing were worse than hers.

After hearing this, Qian Momo raised the corner of her mouth, "What are you talking about, no matter how small the family is, it's also a scholar's family."

The maid laughed and giggled: "Mommy, this is not right, there are still sixth-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door."

The Lin family is a fourth-rank magistrate, and those who come from the Jia family are the state's duke's mansion. How can they respect a poor and talented woman?

The corner of Qian Momo's mouth could not help but deepen, and there was the same pride and disdain in her eyes.

It's no wonder that the daughter raised in this way is a coward without courage.
