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

The backyard is now equally divided between Bitao Courtyard and Lanxin Courtyard. Lin Ruhai has come to Lanxin Courtyard more often. Among other things, the attitude of the kitchen is very obvious.

Her meals are plentiful, and there are also good things that exceed the limit. When she goes to get snacks, it is also fast and delicious.

In contrast, the meals at Meixiangyuan will be put at the end without extra money.

Aunt Mei lost her temper a lot.

It was her who got the food earlier than Lanxinyuan.

Naturally, Songbaiyuan also knew what happened in the backyard, and Wang Momo would report to her one by one.

Although the old lady didn't have much contact with the two aunts, she kept letting people watch them both to prevent them from being murdered by someone who wanted to prevent them from having children.

In addition to this, the old lady is also concerned about her son not being able to stay in Bitao Courtyard all the time.

She knew that it would take several years for the Jia family to give birth to a frail daughter, and after more than ten years, she would die in her Jia family, making the Lin family completely extinct.

In order to avoid this situation, the old lady absolutely wanted her son to give birth to a son. If it was impossible, she had to adopt.

It's better than cutting off the last bit of blood in the Lin family.

Thinking of this, the old lady warned: "You should keep an eye on them." She said while counting the prayer beads on her wrist one by one.

One after another, this movement can calm her down.

"Don't worry, old lady." As she spoke, Wang Momo lowered her eyes, covering her thoughts.

Since coming here to take office, the old lady has changed a lot.

At first, the master didn’t want to take good concubines, he wanted to get two concubines from the family, or ask for someone from the Jia family, but the old lady refused to agree, and even fell ill for a while, and the master is a filial concubine. Yes, in the end she agreed, and the wife, despite the pressure from the Jia family, really brought two people in. At the same time, the old lady also placed people in some key places in the backyard.

It's different from before in the capital. At that time, the old lady basically left all the housekeeping affairs to the wife in charge, but now she seems worried.

Wang Momo didn't know what her master was thinking now.

It seems that the old lady has come here, far away from the capital, and left the Jiangnan area, and the old lady seems to have exposed her repressed dissatisfaction with her wife.

Thinking of this, Wang Momo's body stiffened for a moment, and then she relaxed. No matter how much she thought about these things, it was useless, she just had to obey the master's orders.

It didn't take long for Aunt Mei to deliver what Aunt Mei wanted.

She asked the maid to keep an eye on the master's movements, and when he came back, she dressed up carefully and blocked people on the way he must pass.

A pair of eyes filled with resentment: "Master, you haven't seen me for a long time..."

Hongxiu didn't know what they said, but only knew the result. As soon as the master entered the backyard, he was dragged to Meixiang Courtyard by Aunt Mei.

If the previous rules were followed, the master would most likely come to their Lanxin Courtyard.

Hongyi pursed her lips and complained, "Aunt Mei is really unkind."

Yun Shuyao got up from the stool, turned around in the room, and stretched her body: "Master is the master after all, well, master has gone to Meixiangyuan, you go back to rest early, I don't need to keep anyone here."

To be a human being should be more Buddhist.

If Lin Ruhai didn't want to go, he would still be dragged along.

It is important to have self-knowledge.

She admits that she has.

As for letting them go back, everyone is used to it.

She couldn't get used to someone resting on the pedals.

Hongxiu and Hongyi looked at each other, refilled the tea in the room, cleaned up the sundries, and then left.

At the beginning, they disagreed with not keeping anyone in the house, but the aunt personally performed a situation where people could not sleep peacefully, so they could only leave, but I have to say that as long as the aunt said to rest, they could also go back to their own room Here, it is indeed easier.

Although serving in Lanxinyuan is not as rewarding as Meixiangyuan, there is no pressure.

Auntie is a good servant, she never beats or scolds her servants, and speaks warmly to her servants.

If the master didn't come, he would be in a bad mood, and he wouldn't take his anger out on them, and he was still practicing calligraphy and reading books quietly.

They are being sent here, how they live in the future basically depends on the master, the master lives well, and they can live well as servants. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is better than being in Lanxin Courtyard. Meixiangyuan is more favored by the master.

Let them also rejoice.

The next day, when she went to pay her respects, Aunt Mei, who usually went out later than her, looked radiant this time, and arrived at Bitao Courtyard one step earlier than Yun Shuyao.

Her body changed from the previous golden style, she was dressed in pink and peach, and the jewelry on her head was replaced by a pearl flower crown. At first glance, she didn't look so eye-catching, but upon closer inspection, she was still expensive.

The complexion on her face was even more prominent, her face was like a peach blossom, she looked at Lin Ruhai above her, her eyes... fired at him from time to time, and greeted him: "Master, Madam."

Yun Shuyao saluted without looking sideways.

The discharge itself is right, but colleagues, why don't you look at the occasion.

Jia Min is an easy boss to get along with, are you really going to make her black?

Yun Shuyao looked up, and Jia Min's expression... For a moment, Yun Shuyao thought of the Buddha statue on the jade throne, which seemed to be kind, but actually there was nothingness in her eyes.

While Lin Ruhai was drinking tea, his eyes were on the tea bowl in front of him, as if he didn't notice the undercurrent between his wife and concubine.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min went to Songbaiyuan to greet the old lady together.

Leave them both alone.

On the way back, Aunt Mei's eyes turned into a look of contempt again, "Sister Yun, as the saying goes, Feng Shui takes turns."

Yun Shuyao nodded: "Yes, that makes sense."

Aunt Mei's cheeks twitched.

What is this response?

She glanced at Yun Shuyao with a hellish look, and glanced up and down: "Sister Yun, it's best if you know, sister worked hard last night, and now she's too tired, so I won't chat with you."

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

It wasn't Hongxiu who came with her today, her mother was sick, she asked for leave early in the morning to go back to visit her, and it was Hongyi who came.

She was not as stable as Hongxiu, and when she saw Aunt Mei's behavior, she stomped her feet angrily: "Auntie, it's too, too..." She couldn't say an appropriate adjective.

Before the master came to their Lanxinyuan, he didn't say that he worked so hard, but as for Aunt Mei, the master went there just once yesterday, what is he proud of?

Shouldn't they be proud of their aunts?

This night, Aunt Mei repeated her old tricks, and she did not know what method she used to block Lin Ruhai to Meixiang Courtyard.

Hongyi frowned and reported the news, "Auntie, the master was dragged to the Meixiang Courtyard by Aunt Mei today. Originally... I think the master is probably going to the main courtyard." She had a worried face.

This way the wife will be angry, right?

Yun Shuyao grabbed a handful of peanuts for her: "I know about this, you go to work, don't talk about this anymore."

Aunt Mei's actions would obviously offend Bitaoyuan, didn't she understand?

She was not very respectful to Jia Min before, but she didn't step on Jia Min's bottom line, so Jia Min was willing to give the old lady face and not do anything to them, but if Aunt Mei was so hard on Lin Ruhai's way to Bitao Courtyard Intercepting people would shake Jia Min's prestige.

Logically speaking, Lin Ruhai shouldn't have followed to Meixiangyuan.

Yun Shuyao thought for a while, but didn't want to understand, so she could only keep this doubt in her heart, put it aside temporarily, and continue to practice.

She could feel that she was not far from breaking through to the first level.

It is the easiest to go from the first level to the second level. As long as you have this talent and work hard, you can achieve it.

Yun Shuyao wanted to upgrade as soon as possible, so that after reaching the fourth level, she might be able to transfer the power to the spirit mirror and help it recover faster.

In Bitao Courtyard, Jia Min was holding a cup of tea in his hand. After hearing the news, he stopped holding it. The cup tilted slightly, and some tea flowed out.

Qian Momo hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe it, and took over the teacup: "Ma'am!" She looked at Jia Min distressedly: "Madam, don't panic, the vixen in Meixiangyuan just aroused the master's interest for a while, it won't last long of."

Jia Min smiled bitterly, watching her slender fingers being wiped clean one by one by the nanny, as if she was looking at something else through this: "The master liked Yun before, but now the master likes Mei, isn't it after a while? , will there be more people in the master's backyard?"

Qian Momo curled her lips: "Madam, don't worry, Master is not such a person, and Momo is here, this Meixiangyuan should be taught a lesson long ago, but it's not too late now."

Jia Min wanted to nod, but finally shook her head: "Nurse, no need."

After finishing speaking, she suddenly felt that she was very sad.

When did she start to hesitate even to teach a concubine a lesson?

Qian Momo was very distressed: "Ma'am, you are the legitimate daughter of our Rongguo Mansion, and you are held in the hands of the master and wife. No one can make you feel wronged."

Jia Min's eyelashes trembled, "Father, mother..."

Her father had passed away, and her mother had also been ill. She dared not write to tell her about the concubine of the master in the mansion.

Qian Momo hugged his wife in her arms regardless of her dignity, she knew that her young lady just had no confidence.

If the young lady has a son, why worry so much!

That night, Jia Min went to bed early to rest, but tossed and turned on the bed, and finally closed his eyes at dawn.

On the second day, Lin Ruhai came to the main courtyard alone after leaving Meixiangyuan.

"Ms. Mei is not feeling well, so I won't come to pay my respects today."

Jia Min froze for a moment, feeling unwell?

Could it be that you are afraid?

A sarcasm flashed across Jia Min's eyes: "In that case, it's time to invite a doctor."

Lin Ruhai nodded: "One please."

Jia Min: "..."

Is it really sick?

Yun Shuyao also had this question, and for the next few days, Aunt Mei was sick and closed in the Meixiang Courtyard.

Jia Min deliberately read the prescriptions prescribed by the doctor, and they were all calm and peaceful.

This is clearly pretending to be sick!

It is worth mentioning that since Aunt Mei's illness, Lin Ruhai basically stayed in the Bitao Courtyard as long as she entered the backyard.

It was not until half a month later that he came to Lanxin Courtyard again.

It was also at this time that Aunt Mei walked out of the gate of Meixiangyuan again.

Just when they met, both Jia Min and Yun Shuyao were a little surprised. Aunt Mei really looked ill, her complexion was not very good, and she also lost several catties.

There is only one pair of eyes, which are shining brightly.

Yun Shuyao was keenly aware of her suppressed emotions.

Like excitement, like anxiety.

what did she do?

A month later, Yun Shuyao found out.

Because Hong Xiu, who had always been calm, was shocked. When he walked in from outside the house, he tripped over the threshold and almost kissed the ground.

She got up in a hurry, her face flushed red: "Auntie! Aunt Mei invited a doctor, and the doctor, the doctor said she was pregnant!"
