Practical Life in the Red Mansion

The Su family originally asked Lin Hai and Jia Min for something, and arranged Lin Yun's three baptisms properly. Jia Min knew what she was thinking, but the Su family was delicate and appropriate, and he did things safely. My sister-in-law specially invited Su Shi over sometime.

Mrs. Su was a little embarrassed, she blushed before she could speak, and said in a soft voice: "My grandfather just got up and was awarded the experience of the Shaanxi Chief Envoy. My grandfather has an upright personality and is afraid of offending others. My brother's uncle was in Shaanxi, so I thought of Ruhai brother's uncle to cheer me up." Lin Hai's third uncle was originally the chief envoy of Zhejiang, and later he was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi.

She was afraid that Jia Min would misunderstand that she was going to take advantage of the Wei family's influence, so she explained: "My uncle works conscientiously, and he didn't want me to mention this matter, but I am a woman, and I am very worried about my uncle's straightforward temper. If there is something to do, if there is an elder protecting it, it will be easy to deal with it."

Jia Min understands that Su's husband is also Lin Hai's distant cousin, Lin Xiao, who is a little bookish and intends to offend others. Uncle Wei is taking care of him, so others don't care too much. She said with a smile: " Although I don't care about my master's government affairs, I also know that we are all a family, and relatives should take care of each other. Don't worry, I will talk to my master when I find time."

Only then did Su feel at ease, as long as Jia Min was willing to help, her father wanted to do his duty, not a troublemaker, and with the Wei family taking care of her, at least no one would intentionally bully her father.

Jia Min told Lin Hai at night, and Lin Hai smiled and said, "My cousin is really a scholar. He doesn't know how to be tactful at all. It's not easy to be a sixth grade." He leaned over to look at his youngest son, He murmured, "Why are you still sleeping?" Then he said to Jia Min, "But it's good to be a scholar, at least you won't be able to eat vegetarian meals in the corpses of ordinary people, which will cause big trouble."

Jia Min also smiled and said: "I think so too. I can't write two characters Lin in one stroke. They are all clan members." Lin Haidao: "I just write a letter to my third uncle." He poked his son's chubby face.

Seeing this, Jia Min thought it was funny, and said, "Master, why is he like Yu'er? Be careful to wake him up." Lin Hai withdrew his hand in embarrassment: "Doesn't he like to cry?" "That can't always tease him , he is very sleepy." Jia Min said angrily.

Lin Hai sat beside Jia Min's bed, held his wife's hand, and asked about his wife's daily life. Jia Min was a little shy and answered them one by one.

Lin Haidao: "Or let Mrs. Su stay there until the full moon, and ask her to help host the full moon ceremony."

"I have already troubled her once. My body will be fine when the time comes, and I have the help of Xu Hua's family, and Yu'er is old enough to help. Cousin Xiao is going to take office soon, and so is my cousin's family. It's a mess, how can I keep her for a long time."

Lin Hai heard the words, so he didn't mention it.

In a few days, the birth ceremony of Jia's mansion came slowly, and Jia Min didn't take it seriously. Jia's mansion was no longer headed by her mother, but by her second sister-in-law. She didn't care about her neglect. She had both children and a loving couple. The Lin family is full of confidence, not relying on the natal family for everything, as long as the two families can maintain their relationship, they don't even think about how caring the natal family can be.

Jia Min politely accepted the gift list from Zhou Rui's family, put it aside without looking at it, and stayed with Zhou Rui's family, and left after Lin Yun's full moon. There is also a full moon gift.Zhou Rui's family refused, so he could only stay in Lin's house.

Lin Yun's full moon is also very big, and outsiders can only think that Lin Hai had a son when he was not confused, so it is inevitable that he will be partial.Some salt merchants thought that the Lin family wanted to keep a low profile on weekdays, and never made a big show of it in three festivals and two birthdays. It was difficult to make a publicity once, so they took the opportunity to give generous gifts.

Jia Min was also happy that she was finally able to come out that day. She had a good grooming and dressing up. She wore a bright red peony-patterned waistband, a lotus-coloured jacket with a stand-up collar, and a moon-white Suzhou embroidered peony skirt with folded branches. A full set of red gold With a ruby-encrusted head and face, a gold-encrusted coral-encrusted chest, and a gold-encrusted opal bracelet, she looks graceful and radiant.Jia Min is well-born, well-maintained, and satisfied. Many people of her age are like her mother-in-law, and they all dress up in a calm and mature way. On weekdays, they are mostly in autumn colors. Jia Min doesn't like these colors, and prefers brighter ones. She can also hold back the color.

The wives who come and go are also sour. When the noble ladies reach Jia Min's age, most of their husbands will not enter their houses, but Jia Min's appearance is not to say, just the love between husband and wife, no concubine's room is an eyesore, it makes people feel uncomfortable. People are envious, and some people say that Jia Min is jealous. The Lin family has few children, but they are few and good. One child can rival a group of children from other families.

Jia Min didn't take it seriously, since she was of the highest rank anyway, most of the visitors just talked about it in private, no one dared to say it in front of her, she just pretended not to know, and she didn't allow others to talk if they were unhappy.

The new prefect's surname is Yao, the nephew of Yao Shoufu's family.When Lin Yang knew that the prefect had changed again, he couldn't help complaining about the prefect in his heart.Looking at Yao Shoufu's face, Jia Min has dealt with Mrs. Yao several times, but compared with the previous magistrate, seeing Mrs. Yao staying at the end of the banquet, as long as she must have something to say, she will open her mouth and leave Mrs. Yao gossiping .

Mrs. Yao is a straightforward person, knowing that Jia Min is not a petty person, she said to Jia Min straight to the point: "My youngest daughter has been weak and sick since she was born, I saw that your children are lively and smart, so I have the cheek to ask for some health care prescriptions. "

Jia Min laughed and said: "There are no health-preserving prescriptions, but there is a doctor in my family who is from Beijing and is best at medicinal food. Most of the time I rely on her to recuperate the body. I will let her go and show Lingmei."

Mrs. Yao was overjoyed. She wanted to invite a doctor, but she was afraid that Jia Min would not like it. She never thought that Jia Min would take the initiative and thanked Jia Min.

Jia Min smiled: "It's worth it when you thank me like this. You are all mothers, so you can empathize with me. When my family's Yu'er is sick, I can't wait to be sick for her."

When Doctor Dai came back, Jia Min asked how the magistrate's daughter was doing. Doctor Dai smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, but it's just a weak womb. It'll be fine after a few years of recuperation."

Lin Yun eats, sleeps and sleeps every day. He is white and fat, and he is very well-behaved on weekdays. He only moans a few times when he is uncomfortable and hungry, and seldom cries. Even if Lin Hai and Daiyu poke his face, it is just Howls a few times when impatient.Not to mention Jia Min's partiality, even Lin Hai wanted to hug Lin Yun for a while when he left the Yamen.

Seeing Lin Yun's whiteness and tenderness, Daiyu liked pinching Lin Yun's cheeks even more, and she had to tease Lin Yun to cry every day.But when Lin Yun lost his temper, as soon as Daiyu pinched it, she saw Lin Yun waved her hand, and her fingernails scratched the back of Daiyu's hand, and a mark was immediately formed, and Daiyu said coquettishly to her mother: "My brother hit me. "

But Jia Min said, "Who told you to pinch his face?"

But Daiyu's eyes were red: "It's my younger brother who hit me badly." It was obviously Lin Yun's fault, and he was scratched before he could pinch him.

Jia Min was a little surprised at Daiyu's attitude, but said, "Your brother is still young, and he didn't know he hit you. You are the elder sister who let the younger brother do better." I didn't take it to heart.

But later, Jia Min felt that something was wrong. After she and Daiyu came back from the magistrate's mansion that day, Daiyu felt uncomfortable at night. The doctor checked her pulse, but everything was normal. After Jia Min coaxed her to sleep The next day, Daiyu still complained that this place was uncomfortable, there was discomfort there, Jia Min became anxious, and asked a doctor to show Daiyu, and the pulse was normal, in other words, Daiyu was pretending to be sick.

When Jia Min found out, she was angry and anxious, and wanted to scold Daiyu, but was stopped by Lin Yang.

He poured a cup of tea for Jia Min and said, "Daiyu is jealous, jealous of my younger brother." He is a mature person inside, seeing Daiyu's birth, only those who love Daiyu more will pay attention to their parents I don't think there is anything wrong with the strength and care being transferred to Daiyu, but Daiyu is different. When she grows so big, she is always touched by her family members in the palm of her hand.

But now that there is a younger brother, and his parents give him more care and attention, he will naturally ignore Daiyu. For Daiyu, a little girl who is loved by thousands of people, it is unacceptable. Returning the attention of her parents, she was a bit naughty before, and found that Jia Min not only ignored her but protected her younger brother, so she came up with a way to pretend to be sick.

Lin Yang explained to Jia Min in detail that Jia Min was the youngest at home, and Lin Yang never had such a situation, so she really ignored Daiyu's problem.

She blamed herself a little, got up and went to Daiyu's room, wanting to comfort Daiyu, but was stopped by Lin Yang, now Jia Min felt that she owed her daughter, let her go, maybe how to cede the land and pay the compensation, which would encourage Daiyu's desire Small temper, in case she is unsatisfactory in the future, it will be broken if she pretends to be ill and threatens her family.

"Mother, let me persuade my sister first. I am a brother and she is a sister, so I can persuade her." Lin Yang said to Jia Min.

Jia Min sighed: "Then you go first, she has always been close to you, don't quarrel with her, and don't scold her, it's all because I didn't notice her gap."

Lin Yang said with a smile: "Understood, don't worry, Yan Yan is just being stubborn for a moment."

When Lin Yang left Jia Min's yard, he ordered Xin Yi to cook a bowl of Coptis chinensis. Although he doted on Daiyu, Daiyu had to be punished for doing something wrong. A bowl of bitter juice was enough, and it wasn't for her Drinking it up will not harm her body.
