[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

On the day Jia Hu left, Zhang Rui did a long time of mental construction, so she was always smiling, as if her grandson just went for a day or two for an outing and would come back tomorrow.

Jia Hu was also calm in front of the officers and soldiers of his colleagues. He bowed deeply to his grandmother, father and mother, and then said to his grandmother: "Grandson is traveling thousands of miles away, please take care of yourself."

Zhang Rui nodded, and wanted to reach out to touch Jia Hu's face, but remembering her slightly trembling hands when she drank water in the morning, she had no choice but to give up, and instead hugged him lightly, brushing his back once and for all, "Hu'er, promise grandma that you must pay attention to safety outside, and grandma is only happy to know that you are kind."

"it is good."

The grandparent and grandson have never been too close since Jia Hu grew up, but this time they hugged each other for a long time before Zhang Rui let him go and said with a smile, "Let's go, don't waste the time."

Jia Hu nodded slowly, then looked at his wife Xie Pingyuan and said, "If anything happens at home, you must write to me."

The husband had already explained it before, so Xie Pingyuan knew that he really wanted to say that if there was any problem with the grandmother's health, she could not hide it from him. She knew that the relationship between the husband and the grandmother was deep, and she did not want the husband to suffer in the future, so she agreed.

Jia Hu got into the carriage, opened the window to look at his relatives, and said, "Father, mother, the wind and dew are heavy, let's take grandma and the others back soon..."

The convoy set off, and Zhang Rui stood there motionless as Jia Hu gradually disappeared from sight.

Jia She poked Zhang Shi several times at the side, Zhang turned her head and stared at him a few times before she took a step forward to her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, Hu'er has already left, let's go back?"

"Yeah." Taking one last look into the distance, Zhang Rui turned around slowly, leaned on a cane and walked into the carriage back to Rongguo Mansion.

After returning home, Zhang Rui changed the original doctor's pulse diagnosis time to once a month. What she thought was that she was just old, and she had some senile diseases. She should be fine to take good care of her and live for a few years...

The current medical method is not good, she secretly told the imperial physician about the trembling of her hands, and the imperial physician asked her if she had other symptoms. Shaking, so I told the imperial physician.

After hearing this, the imperial doctor said to the old lady: "You should be caused by internal wind, usually accompanied by symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and limb numbness. It's a good thing that you take a walk often, but pay attention to the weather changes, and don't wrestle!"

Pearl on the side heard this, and asked the imperial physician worriedly: "Other servants know it, so what should our old lady pay attention to in terms of diet?"

"Less salt, less meat and more vegetables, just fine."

Because she didn't want other people to know, Zhang Rui only left Zhenzhu in the room when the imperial doctor came to examine her. Tell the truth, don't take it too seriously."

"The old man can save it."

When the maid sent the imperial physician out, Pearl turned around and saw her old lady, tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably, and she muttered: "You are not allowed to eat those spicy and greasy food anymore. , otherwise I won’t help you keep it a secret!”

Zhang Rui is greedy, but she is not in good health now. In order to live a few more years, she also has to control it, so seeing the tears on Pearl's face, she showed weakness and said: "You are not a little girl anymore, don't cry so much Tears made Yuanyang and the other little maids laugh at you, and you will supervise me in the future, and I will definitely avoid it."

"Then I will remember, you must not go back on your word!" Pearl sniffled, wiping tears as she spoke.

"Good good~"

Now Pearl is not yet old enough to be a nanny, but she is already doing the work of a nanny. She is in charge of most of the things in the west courtyard. She told the old lady in the small kitchen to have light food. So I did.

And since Tanchun also married, Zhang Rui has no children living in Xiyuan'er, and the other two families come to say hello on a daily basis, and she spends the rest of the time alone.When Jia Hu didn't leave before, she proposed to move here, but she didn't approve.

The children will have their own lives. It is inevitable that she will leave this world one day when she gets old. Why should Jia Hu be confined here, and it will be difficult to get out after she is gone?

Sometimes she even wondered if they would be too sad if she treated the children badly...

In the first winter after Jia Hu left, Zhang Rui almost stayed in the house in order to take care of his body, and took walks in the main room. For the sake of the old lady, Pearl asked the little maid to ventilate the main room every night. I lit the fireplace early in the morning, worrying that the old lady would feel stuffy or cold in the room after getting up in the morning.

The best news after the new year is that Jia Lian is going back to Beijing to report on his work. He has been away for more than ten years, and Zhang Rui has not seen him for so many years, so when she knew that he was coming back, she was scared for several days. She was so excited that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, and her appetite was good, but with Pearl, the housekeeper, the old lady had to control her appetite to avoid indigestion and abdominal pain.

Since Jia Lian sent a letter to leave, not only Zhang Rui, but everyone in the house is counting the days and looking forward to Jia Lian's return. It has been many years since Jia Lian left.

Even Mrs. Zhang, who has always been as immobile as a mountain, was restless when the day when Jia Lian came back was getting closer, and Mrs. Wang couldn't stop laughing at her sister-in-law.

Will Mrs. Zhang be afraid of Mrs. Wang?That didn't exist. When she mentioned Baoyu's attitude when she lived in the princess mansion and often didn't return to the mansion for many days, Wang immediately became speechless.

What is the Wang family? Of course, she was prepared in her heart earlier. Her son becoming a son-in-law is no different from being a door-to-door son-in-law. But when that time comes, Baoyu will not go home for several days. He couldn't let go, so it was a bit difficult to deal with, and Baoyu wanted to hide, anyway, his mother would not go to the princess mansion to find her, and then Wang's got worse.

Zhang Rui looked at it and felt that Wang might have entered menopause, but she couldn't say such a modern word clearly. She only asked the kitchen in the second room to prepare more food for her. After a long time, she might get used to it slowly. Only then did I recover, and then I felt ashamed when I thought about it.

Mrs. Zhang also felt that Mrs. Wang was extremely annoying during that time, and she didn't expect Mrs. Wang to become like that again, so she stopped talking after a little reminder.

On the day Jia Lian got off the boat, when the servants came back to report, Jia She Zhang went to the door to pick up her son. Zhang Rui was also agitated, but when she got too emotional, her heart would thump violently.

Pearl was always paying attention to the old lady, and when she saw that the old lady was a little short of breath, she immediately poured a glass of warm water and fed it to the old lady.

Zhang Rui drank a few sips in Pearl's hand, adjusted his mood, then took the cup from her hand, held it in his hand and drank slowly.

Wang Shi noticed the movements of her mother-in-law and Pearl, and felt a little strange in her heart, but she couldn't think of it for a while, so she didn't take it to heart, and then forgot about it.

Jia Lian's family got out of the carriage. When they saw their mother, they said goodbye. After calming down their emotions, they immediately proposed to visit their grandmother. Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Your grandmother knows how excited you are when you come back. She has been waiting for you." And you!"

Jia Amnesty also urged from the side: "Go quickly, don't keep your grandmother waiting."

"Okay." After finishing speaking, Jia Lian couldn't wait to take the whole family to the grandmother's yard.

Zhang Rui already knew from the servants that Lian'er had entered the mansion, she turned her head and kept looking at the door, and when she saw him, she stood up abruptly, startling Pearl, but luckily she didn't The situation she feared emerged.

"Grandmother!" Jia Lian strode up to her grandmother and knelt down, looking at her much older face, her eyes were slightly red and said: "Your grandson is not filial..."

Zhang Rui also wanted to cry, so she sniffed and held back, adjusted the atmosphere and said, "Lian'er, you have a mustache, you look older than before you left..."

There was still a little trembling in the words, but everyone was amused. Even Jia Lian touched the short mustache on his chin and asked, "Really? Does grandma feel ugly?"

After taking a closer look, Zhang Rui shook his head, "It's not ugly, it's just that Lian'er looks fresh and refreshing in my grandmother's impression, and it's just that she doesn't get used to it for a while."

Jia Lian rubbed his chin again and didn't say anything, but the next day when he came back from the job report to greet Zhang Rui, she found that he had shaved his beard clean, and he was no different from the child with memory except that he was more mature.

At the beginning, Zhang Rui thought that Jia Lian could stay in the capital when he came back this time, but within half a month, Jia Lian's appointment came down, and he was still released, but he was promoted and became a road inspector, and he was still a fat job in the south of the Yangtze River. , but not in Jinling, but in Hangzhou.

Jia Lian didn't want to leave home, but the emperor's life was in him, and he couldn't delay it anyway. But he saw that his grandmother was much older than many years ago, so he proposed that his wife Tu Jialan stay at home to serve her grandmother, but he just said When he came out, he was rejected by Zhang Rui.

"Of course Jialan wants to stay by your side and take care of you." Zhang Rui resolutely objected: "When your brother was hunting on behalf of Tianxun, if it wasn't for your sister-in-law who had to take care of the big family, I would have wanted her to follow along with you." Come on, there are so many people in our family, how could Jialan be the only one to take care of us?"

"But my grandson is really uneasy..."

Zhang Rui thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you let Fu'er stay in the house, she is not young anymore, let your mother take her with you to find a husband's family in the capital, and you will not be able to find a suitable family for a while when you are outside. .”

Jia Lian felt that it made sense, and after returning home, he discussed with his wife, and then left his eldest daughter Jia Fu in Rongguo Mansion, but asked that he must live in the West Courtyard to accompany his grandmother. Zhang Rui knew what his grandson wanted, so he did not refuse.
