[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

Zhang Rui told everyone to keep her injury a secret, but Jia Yu and Jia Xuan didn't see her grandmother at Dong's house when her eldest sister gave birth. Persuaded by their younger sisters, Jia Yu and Jia Xuan went back to their natal family the next day.

The two girls came back, so naturally they couldn't hide it, and Zhang Rui couldn't keep them out, so he could only let them in.

When Jia Yu and Jia Xuan saw their grandmother lying on the bed, they didn't notice her legs because they were covered by the quilt. They only thought that her grandmother was sick. Unwell?"

Yuanyang asked the little maid to move two embroidered stools to the old lady's bed, Jia Yu and Jia Xuan sat down, and Jia Xuan said: "The granddaughters thought that you would pass by when the elder sister gave birth, but I thought you didn't come, so I felt so sad." I'm worried about what happened to you, and my eldest sister won't worry about it during her confinement, so don't hide it from us anymore."

Zhang Rui smiled helplessly, pointed to his right leg and said relaxedly: "It's all my own problem. When I saw the snow, I was a little ready to move. I was happy when I was playing. How could I think that I accidentally stepped on the air and broke it when I came back?" legs, I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you would laugh at grandma.”

"Is it serious?" The two asked worriedly, not caring about making jokes.

"The imperial doctor said that I am in good health, and it will be the same as before." Seeing that they still had some disbelief, Zhang Rui immediately said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your brother, grandma wouldn't lie to you just because of this little thing."

Jia Yu saw that her grandmother looked good, and although she made up her mind to ask her mother later, she followed her words and said helplessly in front of her grandmother, "You didn't lie to us, you just kept it a secret."

"Okay, grandma will definitely be vigilant in the future so that such mistakes will not happen again, so don't worry about me hiding it from you."

"It's almost the same." The two reluctantly agreed, and before they left, they ordered Yuanyang and the others to serve them more carefully.

Of course Yuanyang and the others agreed, but they didn't catch the old lady when she fell. Although the masters didn't blame her, but compared with the pearl who quickly responded and placed under the old lady, they felt a little bit uncomfortable. If you make up your mind, you must be more careful.

Pearl's body was not as strong and healthy as some of the maids who served all the year round. When she caught the old lady, both arms were dislocated, and her body also had some abrasions. She has been recuperating during this time.

Mrs. Zhang and the others gave rewards for her loyal guardian. Pearl didn't feel complacent. Instead, she wanted to return to the old lady to serve her when her self-cultivation improved. Zhang Rui refused, "You are still young, if you don't take care of yourself, In the future, your arm will suffer from problems, don’t you still want to serve me? Or have you changed your mind?”

Pearl shook her head quickly, and said: "I can't be idle too, please let me watch by your side~"

Seeing this, several other big maids said that if she wanted to be in the house, Pearl would not be tired from doing things, so Zhang Rui didn't force her to ask.

But in a blink of an eye, she suddenly remembered that the maids around her were not young anymore, and it was time to let a wave of maids get married. She didn't delay, and directly told Mother Jing, if there were arrangements at home, just let her know.

Except for Pearl, she was determined to stay by her side. Zhang Rui thought about it, and brought up the servant girl again to make sure she was the leader, but it felt a bit inappropriate for her to be in the position of a mandarin duck...

I was a little puzzled for a while, anyway, it's still too early for the maids to get married, so you can think about it slowly.

On the other hand, for Jia Yue, Zhang Rui thought that although she was doing it for the benefit of the pregnant woman, but it was wrong to conceal the matter, she personally wrote a letter to her, telling her that it was only because of her inconvenient legs that she was unable to visit her, and there was nothing wrong with it. other problems.

When Jia Yue received the letter, she had already learned about her grandmother's leg injury from her sisters. Although she was anxious, Dong Yunting firmly refused to allow her to move, and could only stay in confinement honestly.

When she was confinement, Jia Yue immediately had someone put in a carriage and go back to her natal home. She finally felt at ease when she saw her grandmother's rosy complexion with her own eyes.

This year's court celebration, Zhang Rui still chose not to go due to a leg injury. Mrs. Zhang had reported to her mother-in-law, the Ministry of Rites and the palace early on, so Mrs. Zhang and Princess Anyang brought the female family members of Jia's family to enter early that morning. Palace to.

Zhang Rui stayed at home, and since the new year was about to come, it had been agreed that Baoyu would live in an outer courtyard after the new year, so the child stayed by his grandmother's side all the time when he was free, unlike when he was eager to follow Wei. Ruolan and Jia Wei looked like they moved out together.

Today, Xichun was sent to the Rongguo Mansion because his sister-in-law went to the palace. Following Daiyu and Tanchun's two sisters to paint, he saw Baoyu's brother guarding his uncle and grandmother, scratching his face with his fingers, and laughed: "Brother Baoyu is not ashamed!"

Daiyu and Tanchun sniggered at the side, Jia Baoyu puffed up his face, turned his head away and ignored him, still sitting beside his grandmother, muttering: "Grandma, my grandson hates studying for the imperial examination, can you stop studying?"

"If you don't want to take the imperial examination, of course grandma won't force you, but just like what I once promised to your second brother Lian, you must first pass the examination and conclude that no matter what you go through, you can have basic living security, and then you can Live the life you want."

Jia Baoyu didn't understand that Ming Ming's mansion had a good life, and he could live a good life without doing anything, so why did he have to take the merit test?Since he thought so, he asked.

After hearing this, Zhang Rui didn't feel that he was just a child who was not motivated, but said slowly: "Everything in our Rongguo Mansion today is the result of the hard work of the ancestors of the Jia family, and now your brothers are doing it for us." Even if you don’t want to share the burden with your brothers, at the very least, shouldn’t you have the ability to be self-sufficient?”

In fact, she had thought about Baoyu's future, and with his personality, he really couldn't deal with the money-seeking officialdom, but it would be too much for her to forcefully arrange his future, so no matter what Baoyu will do in the future, her request is very simple , under the condition of being protected by the Rongguo Mansion, as long as he is clear about the situation and has the ability to support himself, it will be fine.

Baoyu is not the kind of child who is not sure about right and wrong, but he is more pure and clear than most people, so sometimes he seems a little naive, "Why do people chase after fame and fortune? Everyone lives innocently and happily. okay?"

"The world is like this, and we don't have the ability to provoke." Endless desire is human nature, and Zhang Rui can't explain it clearly or change others, but she can promise: "If Baoyu doesn't like it, grandma is willing to support you. But Juren still has to take the exam, and after passing the exam, you can live freely as you like, okay?"

Jia Baoyu tilted his head and thought hard, then nodded and said, "Okay~"

The three little girls next to her heard the conversation between their grandmother and Baoyu. They were all intelligent girls, thinking about what their grandmother said, they had different feelings. Only Xichun was a little different. Gently asked: "Is it because of being able to support myself that my father can marry a hut and live in a hidden mountain forest?"

In fact, the little girl also hoped that her father and mother would be by her side, but her mother died young and her father never returned home on the mountain. Looking forward, but there will always be no results...

Zhang Rui was about to answer Xichun's question when he heard a series of footsteps getting louder and louder. Turning around, he saw that it was Jia Lian who was supposed to be studying in his yard, and his face was a little panicked, but there seemed to be a little joy in it. Then he asked her, "What happened? Why did you come to the west courtyard at this time?"

"Grandmother! Just now the emperor announced in front of all the officials in the palace that Zen is located in the fourth prince, and the new emperor will hold an enthronement ceremony on an auspicious day!"

"So suddenly?"

Jia Lian picked up the teacup and drank a cup, and Jia Baoyu next to him opened his mouth and wanted to say that he poured it for his grandmother, but seeing Lian's brother poured another cup of tea, it was obvious that he was really thirsty, so he didn't make a sound.

"Now it's spread all over the world. I heard that the princes and ministers, including the fourth prince, heard that the emperor wanted the Zen throne, and they all knelt on the ground and begged his majesty to take back the order. , he, the Supreme Emperor, is going to live in a palace on the outskirts of the city!"

Zhang Rui knew that such an event would happen, but she is really a little confused about the time now, so there is no way to determine when it will be. home...

"Grandmother, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely join Enke, and his grandson is planning to participate."

Zhang Rui nodded encouragingly and said, "Then you have to work hard and strive to pass the exam this time."

Jia Lian was not so optimistic, and said: "I'm afraid that my grandson will be in the ranks of Jinshi..."

"It's useless to think so much now. If you are really a fellow Jinshi, that is fate. You should concentrate on studying." It was fated.

Jia Lian was well aware of this, and he had to take part. After all, he had to take part in the first imperial examination for the new emperor's ascension to the throne. It was better to study more carefully than to think too much.

No longer thinking about his own affairs, Jia Lian said again: "Third brother-in-law Luan Mocun will definitely not miss this Chunwei. He passed the entrance examination the year before last and did not participate in the Chunwei in previous years because he wanted to rank better, but now the emperor suddenly took the throne. , would rather miss a first class, the Luan family will definitely not let go of the opportunity to become the new emperor's first disciple of the emperor."

And Luan Mocun has been No.1 since the beginning of the county examination. He has been the leader of the case all the way, and Xie Yuan has been a strong contender for the top three in the last subject. It is not heard that there is anything particularly outstanding in this subject. He must be a talented person... really makes Lian jealous.
