By Jia Xiuzhen

When Jia Lian and Sister Feng returned home, they heard the news that Sister You had given birth.As usual, Sister Feng rewarded the servants in the courtyard, and asked people to mend the red seal and send it to the midwife's home.Because the second sister You was still in confinement and could not see Jia Lian, Jia Lian went to see her newborn brother several times a day.

Sister Feng asked Second Sister You to choose the nanny and the little girl herself, and everything was in accordance with the rules and impartial.It's just that the second sister You has always been a little depressed since she gave birth, and often shed tears unconsciously when holding her brother.There have never been many people in Jia's mansion who pick up troubles, not to mention Second Sister You gave birth to a son and was favored by Jia Lian. Some who have always been dissatisfied with Sister Feng saw Second Sister You's situation, so they had to say something in her ear. no.It messed up Second Sister You's mind even more.

Third Sister You came in to take a look, and Second Sister You finally got a talking person of her own, so she poured out all her bitterness.She said: "It turns out that when Sister Qiao was born, she got more rewards everywhere than this time. Even the uncle and wife sent people to give the 'daughter lottery', and the servants under it don't know how many days This time I gave birth to him, but I gave him nothing, and made him suffer humiliation, it was always because of my incompetence as a mother..."

She spoke resentfully, and Third Sister You frowned.Half a day later, he said: "Sister, you are a demon! She is the first wife, and you are the second wife. How can you compare with her? Why don't you compare Baoyu with the third master Huan? Listen to me and give your heart to Zheng as soon as possible. Come here, otherwise, you will go crazy in the future! How can we compare with her? I only heard that she is cruel and merciless, but I was still on guard, but now it seems that even if you don’t talk about being affectionate, it’s okay to treat you. Even my brother-in-law said Not much to say, it can be seen that she has followed the rules here. Wake up, how can you compare with others? Who are her sisters and brothers from her natal family, and who are your natal family? She is a big sedan chair Come in, you..."

Third Sister You didn't finish her sentence when she saw Second Sister You's teardrops falling down like a broken thread, she stopped her mouth immediately and complained: "Look at you! Didn't you hear that you can't cry during confinement? It will be bad." Eyes! Well, I'm only telling the truth, so what's the matter with you?"

Second Sister You said: "Third Sister, you put it lightly. We were the only ones living outside. Of course, it doesn't matter. You see, I have fought with others when I came in? But now you look at your little nephew, he is just like this." I am so small. My mother will not be able to keep food and clothing expenses in the future, and when I grow up, I will have the final say on finding a good husband..."

Third Sister You said: "Didn't they have a private school at home? Didn't they all study there?"

Second Sister You said: "That's not true. You look at Baoyu. His family invited Mr. to teach him. And Brother Lan, the academy he went to and from were all princes' sons. It could be the clan of the mansion who can learn it." Than?……"

Third Sister You looked at Second Sister You for a long time, then sighed and said, "If you go astray all the way, you will harm others and yourself. You are now confinement, it is better to think less. I I don’t want to talk to you anymore, so I’ll save you more nonsense.”

After talking about Gu Zi, Second Sister You was unhappy when she saw that Third Sister You said she was talking nonsense, and she only said that she didn't know the truth when she was not in the mansion.I was lying on the bed thinking about it, she was not talented, how could I think about it?I just feel more and more flustered, and feel even more sad that my baby has been mistreated.Such a good body was a bit damaged during confinement.

When the story got to Sister Feng, Ping'er said, "The third aunt is usually out of tune, but she has a clear mind. Isn't that what she said? Go compare with Baoyu, and it will be better or worse!"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "For the first time in my life, I realized that if I just sit still like this, it is like a mountain pressing on my spine. She didn't need me to do anything, and she was doing it herself."

Ping'er frowned: "I can't see our second master now. After confinement, we can talk. Who knows what our foolish second master will think? They say that the master is upright and brilliant, isn't it? Because of brother Huan, he asked his wife for fine wool clothes! Besides, grandma only has one sister in front of her, so they should think about it!"

Sister Feng narrowed her eyes and said slowly: "It's good to think about it, as long as they think about it, I'm afraid they won't come to think about it."Seeing this, Ping'er thought that her grandma had always been very clever, and she couldn't believe that the pair of adulterers could figure out what to do with her grandma!However, she never carefully observed when Jia Lian and Second Sister You had such an image in her heart.

Jia Lian wanted to do a big cleaning of the Santong Full Moon, so naturally he was stopped by Mrs. Jia Muwang.Sister Feng didn't say anything, and Ping'er jumped up: "Grandma! Look at the second master! Grandma doesn't talk about him, let him have his own way, if the old lady doesn't stop him, I don't know what to do to make him happy! "

Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's only a small benefit to suppress him and not satisfy him; it's a great benefit if his wish is fulfilled and his wish is fulfilled. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, the second master of Lian big."

Ping'er was taken aback for a while, and then looked at Sister Feng's face, suddenly felt that the grandma she had served since she was a child looked like a cloud, and he couldn't guess that she was not thinking at all.

The two big Buddhas were pressing down, Jia Lian had no choice but to give up resentfully, not to mention Xisan, even the full moon just invited You old lady You San and You family to come over and set up two tables in the courtyard.Seeing that things had come to such a point, Jia Zhen refused to move forward desperately.So although Jia Lian invited him again and again, he didn't come.There was nothing else, Mrs. Xing only asked someone to bring a long-life lock, which seemed to be a crude thing made outside.

Sure enough, Second Sister You wept softly when she saw Jia Lian. The next day, Jia Lian took out a total of more than two hundred taels of silver from her private house and let Second Sister You keep it.When Second Sister You didn't know much before, the whole family lived outside for a month, and the expenses of bringing it on and off were not more than five taels of silver. Thousands of taels go up.Looking at Jia Lian's appearance again, I realized that this man actually only had this kind of wealth, and my heart became more and more panicked.

How could Jia Lian understand these thoughts, so he went to Jia Amnesty the next day to ask for his son's name.Jia Amnesty didn't know what to think, so he wrote the word '菨' on the paper and said: "It means 'clear', I hope he grows up to be a clean man in the future."

Think about Jia Rong Jia Lan's name, and then look at the one in front of you, only his father named it himself, which is already a big face, but he dares to show something on his face, I don't know what disaster is waiting myself.So I had no choice but to grit my teeth and thank, and when I came back, someone took a piece of paper to write and send a name talisman to Qingxu Temple.

When Sister Feng heard about this, she laughed for a quarter of an hour.She said: "For a man like the old man, if you want to work together with him, you will be very angry. If you are with your opponent, it will be wonderful. Oh, it's a pity, I really want to see Lian Er Grandpa's face at that time."

Second Sister You was illiterate, so she only heard that Jia She had chosen her own child's name, so she felt honored.The others laughed secretly when they heard this, but they just ignored her.

One day, Second Sister You carried Brother Su to the garden. According to theory, there were few people and many flowers and trees in the garden, so children shouldn't go there.It's just that she has always been seldom dissuaded from doing things, and she is the only one to go.Because she heard that sister Qiao was with Li Wan, she also took the nanny and girl to Daoxiang village.

When Li Wan heard that Second Grandma You was coming, he asked her to come in and sit down.Sister Qiao finished studying poetry and books in the morning, and now she is learning needlework with Biyue Suyun.Although she is young, she has a stable temperament, and she doesn't get annoyed when she sits and works, so Biyue always praises her for being better than this one or that one, and she is only better than Li Wan.

Second Sister You looked at it with a smile and said to Li Wan, "My sister is so lucky. When our brother grows up, Grandma will do her a favor and teach us."

Everyone was stunned, Li Wan smiled and said: "Thank you for your favor, but I don't dare to take on this job. The brothers in the mansion are all taught by the gentlemen. We women and Taoists only know how to teach needlework. How can we teach my brothers?" .”

Second Sister You said, "Didn't Brother Lan say that Grandma taught me when I was young?"

Before Li Wan could speak, Suyun brought tea to Second Sister You and laughed, "Second Grandma You said this, be careful that Second Master Lian will not be happy when he hears it, and think you are cursing him!"

Only then did Second Sister You come to her senses, she hurriedly stopped, took a cup and drank tea to cover it up.

Naturally, Li Wan didn't take it to heart, and just laughed it off.But the second sister You talked about the monthly money again, only talking about enough.Li Wan then asked her: "Now you and Brother Su should have received both monthly payments for you, is there not enough money for you?"

Second Sister You shook her head: "All of them are given. There are only so many of them. How can there be flowers?"

Biyue asked: "Brother Su is still so young, he only feeds milk, and there is a nanny for breastfeeding. Isn't it enough for you to spend two months' money alone on this second grandma?"

Second Sister You shook her head again: "It's not about now. I mean, when my brother grows up, boys are very skinny, and their clothes are bound to wear out quickly. Don't you have to make up for it yourself? I'll ask Grandma about it. We all raise brothers, isn’t it the same as raising girls?”

Now everyone didn't know how to answer the conversation, so it was Suyun who said: "In our house, it's the same for brothers and sisters who don't have a family. Second Mistress is worried about clothes, and children can count how many clothes they have in a season. There are so many people in the mansion, and I haven't heard anyone say that they are not enough to pass through.

As long as we talk about our brother, it's a little extravagant.It's not about dressing, it's because he has a big appetite and can eat.According to the regulations in the mansion, there is not enough for him to eat.Only our grandma has a Zhuangzi as a dowry, but it is enough for a Zhuangzi to grow and eat!Not to mention Second Master Bao, his status is the same as everyone else's. In addition, it is rewarded by the old ladies. It is the kindness of the elders, so naturally it doesn't matter. "

Second Sister You couldn't hold back when she heard what Suyun Balabala said.After talking for a while, Sister Qiao didn't understand an acupuncture method, so Li Wan took her aside to talk, and Second Sister You left.

After they walked away, Biyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said in surprise, "If it wasn't for her original appearance, I wouldn't dare to recognize her! How did Second Grandma You become like this! What you said made people feel helpless." Take it, how awkward it is to listen to."

Madam Yan, who had been silent all this time, said, "Isn't this the most normal thing? Why don't you say 'I'd rather hire a maidservant than marry a daughter from a small family'. There are so many people in this big family, The rules are heavy, and those who haven’t been inside will know everything. I haven’t seen anything outside, but once I get inside, I’m dazzled by the wealth, but there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Biyue said: "But this second aunt was not like this when she first came here. She didn't speak loudly, and she would answer in a soft voice when asked by others. She never asked too many questions, and she looked very temperamental. Submissive."

Yan Momo smiled and said: "I haven't heard of 'Being a mother is strong?'. Now that you have a son, you will naturally have a different mind. Didn't you hear the words just now that you want to ask how our brother is raised? That's why I'm worried. It’s about the money last month, it can be seen that a lot of expenses have been calculated.”

Bi Yue sighed, "It's not her fault that they say they feel sorry for the parents of the world."

Suyun sneered and said: "You only have a little brain! Just like her, she just got a brother, not to mention being flattering to the second grandma, but it sounds like a no-brainer when we talk about it here. I want to compare Our elder brother came with Second Master Bao, and she didn't even think about who our grandma is, what is my wife's identity, what is her identity! Let's just compare, in less than two years, Guan Bao will not be as good as Aunt Zhao."

Yan Momo nodded and sighed: "Isn't that what you said? It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework. It's just that it's hard to decide whether this housework is right or wrong. Another thing, if you say it's right or wrong for her to act like this, is it right?" What's the use? With her status and the situation in the mansion, she can only talk about whether it should be done or not. It doesn't matter if it's right or not? Her motherly love is right, so what? Stretching her neck all day long to see What kind of son does such a mother expect her to teach? Isn’t there a ready-made example in front of me? That’s why the old lady said that day, “Marry Wrong one person, harm three generations', you don't know how powerful it is."

Li Wan also smiled: "It looked good back then, but now it's really hard to talk about. She lived with us for a while, and she will talk about it when we are close."

Yan Momo said: "Marrying to be a second-bedroom concubine is just a matter of color and temperament. As long as there are so many things that happen in the middle, you know that she is inconvenient. Grandma must know that this person may not be inconvenient. There are people who like to make trouble; there are people who are particularly capable of causing trouble. Most of these people have more desires but less wisdom. I think this is the case for Second Aunt You. Second Mistress is now allowing her to indulge her, only as a It's a joke."

Bi Yue said: "Mommy, Second Grandma said that you can't call Auntie."

Yan Momo snorted coldly: "The old lady said it all, at most she is an aunt!"

Li Wan looked at them, waved his hand and said, "That's all! It's not from our yard. They call a few times throughout the year, and it's worth fighting for once."

The author has something to say: I think some students said that this paragraph is too procrastinated.Explain a little bit.Because according to the book, at this point, when the second sister You died, it was already approaching the end of the year, and then the Peach Blossom Club and Jia Zheng’s family letter returned in June, and after the coastal tsunami, Jia Zheng will return at the end of the year; the next chapter is Jia Zheng came back and rested for a month, and in a blink of an eye, he talked about Jia Mu's [-]th and [-]th birthday in August; that is to say, this chapter has been going on for a year and a half, and now some plots will be embedded in it, not all according to the book The rhythm goes.

There are also those who are looking forward to ransacking their homes early in the morning. Tanchun has a saying that "you must first commit suicide at home before you can be defeated." There is also a lot of work to do to realize this sentence.And I don't think too much of myself and want to incorporate some clues from the original book, so there will be no sudden catastrophe.Not anytime soon, so please be patient.
