[Red Mansion] Mother Jia has a paralyzed face

Because Zhang Rui was worried about the children's exams, it was not easy for Zhang Rui to delay on the road, and went all the way south to Yangzhou.

Originally, she didn't plan to live in the Lin family this time, but asked someone to tidy up the Jia family's house in Yangzhou in advance and prepare to move in, but Lin Ruhai took Jia Hu and others outside the city to invite them strongly, and in the end the Jia family and the others still stayed. The kindness was hard to come by, so I just let the luggage be sent to my house first, and they went to Lin's mansion.

When they arrived at the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin and Jia Min were waiting for them outside the gate. Zhang Rui talked enthusiastically with Mrs. Lin for a while before going to the yard to rest temporarily.

The courtyard was where she lived when she came last time, and Jia Bian also lived here. Zhang Rui hugged her granddaughter Qingyuan all the time, and when there were only two mothers and daughters left, she asked worriedly: "What about your mother-in-law?" The complexion turned out to be much worse than last time."

Jia Min sighed after hearing this, and said: "I told my mother in the letter that my mother-in-law found out that she had a heart disease, and the doctor told me to pay attention to it, but I still suffered from the wind and cold in winter, and I was sick for a whole winter. , and the body weakened."

"Is the son-in-law worried too?"

"Yes."

This matter of old age, sickness and death is really beyond the control of ordinary people, Zhang Rui can only persuade Jia Min to relax, "Treat your mother-in-law well, and help Lin son-in-law to share more, don't worry on my side, your mother is in good health! "

Jia Min couldn't help laughing when she heard that, indeed, there are not many old wives who are as energetic as her own mother, "Mother, your health is good, and my daughter will be excited!"

Zhang Rui is used to being lazy after breaking things down, so after a day's rest at Lin's house, he went back to Jia's house to clean up the next day, preparing to wait for Fang's family to come to his house.

Jia Hu didn't go with him, but went back to the academy to sell his vacation. Fang Fang knew the reason why Jia Hu asked for leave, so when he saw him coming back, he immediately approached him, "Your grandmother is here? Then when are we going to visit?"

Pushing Fang Fang away, Jia Hu said speechlessly, "What are you in such a hurry for? My grandmother is temporarily staying at my aunt's house. Today, I'm going to tidy up Jia's house and prepare to entertain you at our own house. Let's wait for the vacation~ Focus on your studies first. .”

Fang Fang didn't leave, and was still hanging around Jia Hu, "Jia Hu, is your little aunt here too? What's it like? Tell me~"

Seeing that he really couldn't study, Jia Hu turned his head and looked at him seriously, and asked, "What do you want to know?"

"What's your little aunt's personality like?"

"Didn't I tell you it was very gentle?"

"No," Fang Fang touched Jia Hu with his elbow, "We have such a good relationship, if you didn't trust my character, you wouldn't mention me to the old lady. Tell me the truth, is there nothing else but gentleness?" ?”

"Brother, what else do you want?"

"Hey~" Fang Fang gritted his teeth, and said, "Even if you are also the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, will you look down on me?"

"If senior brother is worried about this issue, then I will say, no." Jia Hu leaned back in the chair and looked seriously into senior brother Fang's eyes, "My grandmother has always been careful with her children and grandchildren, so whether it is a prostitute or a daughter-in-law Concubine daughter, marriages are carefully selected no matter how high or low, we all trust in this, so I believe that the marriage that my grandmother chose for me is good, and my little aunt will also trust it."

"Jia Hu, your grandmother... seems to be very remarkable."

Jia Hu nodded as a matter of course, "Little aunt is indeed gentle, but she was a little too gentle before. Grandma was not very satisfied, so she asked the nanny to teach her. Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a housekeeper and director. If you get married in the future, she will If there is anything inconsiderate, you can tell my grandmother directly, of course, if you bully her, my grandmother will teach you a lesson."

Fang Fang nodded. Their family was not the kind of family that would bully their daughter-in-law. Besides, they married a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family.

And the Fang family also said this when they met Zhang Rui. Zhang Rui saw that Mrs. Fang's face was really kind, and Fang Fang's sister seemed to have a good temper, so she believed that this was indeed a good family and a good marriage.

Seeing her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law, Jia Bian felt a little more at ease. After marrying so far away in Yangzhou, she was still a little apprehensive. It seems that it should be pretty good now?

The mother and daughter of the Fang family are also very satisfied with Jia Bian. They have the same worries as Fang Fang. Even if the daughter of a wealthy family is a concubine, it would be a headache if she is arrogant, but now seeing the young lady of the Jia family, Although she was not as generous as Mrs. Lin, she was more generous and decent than the daughters they usually saw. If she married in the future, she would definitely be Fang Fang's good helper.

Zhang Rui thought about the wedding date, and then postponed it until after the children finished their exams next year. Although there are many marriages at Jia Bian's age, it is still a little young for her. Anyway, she is engaged, and getting married later is not a problem .

Of course, the Fang family had no objection, they were able to get the marriage settled without delaying their son's study, and everyone except Fang Fang was so happy.

The dowry that Jia Min helped buy was in Jia's house, and Zhang Rui didn't seem to be short of anything, so whenever he had something to do, he took Jia Bian by his side and asked her to do it. Anyway, she was just embroidering the dowry. There is nothing wrong with doing things, and you can know what you are doing.

Sometimes when I think about her, I feel that I am too kind, otherwise I would not need her busy work if I brought Wang Shi here, and I can go out to have a picnic every day, watch the scenery and have fun.

Unfortunately, only one little girl can use it~

Jia Bian's marriage is still early, so Zhang Rui can take his time. The Lin family's mother and son stopped them from moving out, so she stayed. Mrs. Lin's condition is a bit serious, and she often has to stay in bed to recuperate. Jia Min is taking care of everything , is really wasting energy.

Zhang Rui asked Jia Bian to go with Jia Min again, just to help out a little, so that Jia Min could relax faster and gain some experience as a housekeeper.

As for Jia Min's arrangements for his aunt, he listened obediently without any complaints, and was very serious in doing things. Jia Min praised his concubine more than once in front of his mother. Not too little.

Several times when Jia Hu came back, Zhang Rui would tell him about Jia Bian. After Jia Hu returned to the academy, if senior brother Fang asked about it, he would tell his senior brother what he could tell, and then he would bring him with him when he went back next time. A letter or a gift from the senior brother to the little aunt.

Zhang Rui was a little funny about this, and when he saw Jia Hu, he couldn't help teasing, "Hu'er, you seem to be quite competent as a messenger for the future uncle."

Jia Hu also remembered that whether it was Uncle Lin, Uncle Chen or the current seniors, it seemed that he was helping to pass the letters and things, and a smile hung on his face when he thought about it, "So aunts and uncles are very kind to me. OK."

"In a blink of an eye, Hu'er also reached the age of getting engaged..." Zhang Rui sighed a little. She watched Jia Hu grow up from a little peas to the fresh and handsome boy he is now...

Jia Hu was no stranger to people mentioning his marriage. Seeing that his grandmother also mentioned it, he said directly: "Hu'er is all arranged by grandma's parents."

Zhang Rui took out the list prepared by the Zhang family and handed it to Jia Hu, saying: "Your mother and I can only try our best to do this, you can choose by yourself. match."

Jia Hu took it over without any hesitation, and looked carefully, and saw that the family background and the general personalities of the ladies were written on the back of the list. He didn't care about the appearance, since the mother chose it, she was sure it wouldn't be too bad. , and the key thing to look at is naturally the family background and character.

"You should know from the marriage that your grandfather made for your parents. If our family wants to continue to prosper, we still have to study and take the imperial examination. Of course, your responsibilities as the eldest son and grandson must be heavier. The younger brothers can only Share one or two, just like this marriage, Lian'er and Zhu'er are definitely not as solemn and strict as your marriage, and the intention of the marriage is also very different."

Jia Hu nodded, knowing this well, paused when she saw one of the names, and said, "Forget about Mrs. Zhong's family's young lady, my uncle said that Tai Shifu had made a condition and wanted to betroth the daughter of his second son to me." , was rejected by my uncle."

When Zhang Rui heard it, he was a little surprised, inspected Jia Hu's face, and asked a little embarrassed: "Then you...?"

"The grandson also feels that it is not suitable. Even if I approve it because of the teachings of Tai Shifu and Zhong Jiaoxi, it will be a hard thing for me and her."

Seeing that Jia Hu's face was not fake, Zhang Rui felt better. Of course, she hoped that Jia Hu could choose the wife she liked, but the gap of status was insurmountable, and she couldn't control others. The wife who is both mediocre, it is her grandson who has worked hard. Neither Mrs. Zhang nor she can bear it.

Simply, Jia Hu has always known what he wants, and he has grown into a qualified heir...

Seeing Jia Hu's seriousness, Zhang Rui thought that marriage is not an easy decision, so she said to him: "Huer, you can go back and read slowly, and when you decide, grandma will write a letter to your mother." Tell her there's no rush."

Jia Hu shook her head, then raised her head and asked, "Which family's lady do grandma prefer?"

Zhang Rui laughed a little, "This is your future wife, Hu'er, of course it depends on your hobbies, and since I can give it to you, I'm sure grandma and your mother will feel that there is no problem after seeing it, you look at it yourself, in the future You should also participate in the marriages of your younger brothers and sisters."

"Then the first daughter of Mr. Xie, a cabinet bachelor."

"You... that's the decision?"

Jia Hu nodded.

Seeing this, Zhang Rui picked up the list and said, "Master Xie's eldest daughter is your mother's favorite candidate from the very beginning. Their family is also a big family, so there is nothing to say about the family's upbringing. If it wasn't for Hu'er you In the future, these scholarly families may not be willing to marry into the honorable family."

Jia Hu did not comment on this, but said to her grandmother: "It will be fine in the future."

"Of course grandma trusts me." After speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Jia Hu: "I just remembered that the wife of Zhong's second wife is the eldest daughter of Xie's next-door brother. It is a direct branch, and the other house is from the father's generation, which is somewhat similar to the relationship between our family and Ningguo Mansion."

"I see, Grandmother."

"Then since you've decided, I'll write back to your mother. The girl from the Xie family has reached the age of marriage. If it's too late, we'll have to pick again."

"Please trouble grandma and mother."
