Practical Life in the Red Mansion

Jia Min finally felt relieved, most of Lin Yang's age was already his father.Ever since Lin Yang got married, Jia Min was looking forward to when he would be able to embrace his grandchildren, but seeing that Lin Yang had been married for more than a year and there was still no movement, Jia Min was anxious, but he didn't show it on the surface, and in private There is a lot of worshiping Buddha and burning incense, hoping that Gu Jing will not have a difficult child like her.Therefore, after hearing that Gu Jing was pregnant with a child, Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief. If it wasn't for the fact that it was not three months old, Jia Min would have generously rewarded her servants.She still called the people in Gu Jing's yard and said that as long as the grandma survives three months safely, there will be rewards.Jia Min took Gu Jing and gave her a good command to prevent her from setting the rules, and set up a small kitchen for her, and asked the doctor to live in Gu Jing's yard to take care of Gu Jing.

Jia Min happily returned to her yard. First she went to the Buddhist hall to offer incense and thank the Bodhisattva for her protection. Then she took out the storehouse booklet and sent some tonics, such as ginseng, gastrodia elata, and ganoderma, to Gu Jing's yard like water. When everything was arranged properly, I began to think about when to invite my stable wife and nurse.Because there was a mistake in choosing a wet nurse for Lin Yun back then, Jia Min decided to choose a wet nurse from the family.

Gu Jing sent Jia Min away, but she was a little worried. The big girl next to her was named Ruxiang, and she had agreed to her. After getting married, she would still return to Gu Jing's side to work, so she was more respectable in front of Gu Jing than other girls. Seeing Gu Jing sitting on the big kang by the window, she frowned slightly, and asked with concern: "Grandma, what's wrong with you, but you're not in a good mood?"

Gu Jing rubbed her belly with her hands and said, "Mother and uncle have been looking forward to this child for a long time. If it's a brother and son, it's fine, but if it's a sister, mother and uncle will be so disappointed." At that time, her mother had her first, and then her younger brother. After the younger brother was born, the mother had a firm foothold in the family and could talk.Jia Min was too kind to her, and thought of everything for her. If they had a sister, would Jia Min and Lin Yang be disappointed or disgusted?

Yunxiang grew up in Gu's parents, and knew about Gu's mother, she said with a smile: "I may not be disappointed when I look at the uncle and the wife, you just see that the wife and the uncle love the eldest girl and you will know it. The second master is even better, so it can be seen that the wife and the uncle also love girls." Gu Jing was still worried, how can this be the same, Daiyu was born by Jia Min, so naturally she loves it like a treasure, but the girl she gave birth to may not be able to win Jia Min favorite.

When Yun Xiang saw Gu Jing's expression, she knew that she was on the verge of a bull's-eye. Thinking of the environment in which Gu Jing grew up, Yun Xiang couldn't help feeling a little more sympathetic, and said, "Ma'am, don't you also bloom first and then bear fruit?" It's Gu's mother. Of course I'm happy that my first child is a brother, but it's okay to be a sister, as long as it can be born.Rue Xiang thought about finding time to mention it in front of the uncle.

Mother Dong came back after receiving the supplements from Jia Min. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Gu Jing sitting on the big kang, and hurriedly said, "Grandma, I've been tired all day, why are you still sitting, go and rest." Gu Jing shook her head and said, "It's okay, I've been lying down all morning." Mother Dong was worried, and asked about Gu Jing's daily life carefully, and then said with a smile: "The brother in grandma's stomach is really obedient. , other women will have morning sickness and can't eat when they reach grandma this month, I think grandma has a good appetite, but she needs to make up for it."

When Gu Jing heard her mentioning the child in her belly, she couldn't help smiling and said: "I just hope he can always be so obedient and obedient, so don't torment me."

Mammy Dong smiled and watched Gu Jing eat the tonic before signaling the girls to go out.Beside Gu Jing, he said: "Grandma has been inconvenient these past few months. According to the rules, she has to sleep in a separate room. Grandma has arranged for a girl to serve her."

Gu Jing's face turned ugly when she heard that, Lin Yang looked good and was very considerate to her. Before she knew it, she wanted to dominate him and didn't want other women to get close to him, so since the wedding, Jia Min didn't mention it. Fang girl, she pretended to be deaf and dumb as if she didn't know. What made her happy was that Lin Yang never mentioned it, so no one else had intervened between their husband and wife for so long.But now this question cannot be avoided.

Mammy Dong persuaded: "Grandma, it's all the rules. Although Mu Lian is married, there is still a Xin Yi who has a deeper relationship with the uncle. If grandma doesn't arrange her own people first, wait for the wife to arrange. Xin Yi is still gifting someone else, it's very tricky."

Gu Jing also understood this, but she couldn't arrange these people, so she said wearily, "Let's take a look."

Not only Mammy Dong thought about the issue of the house, but Wu Hong's family also thought of it. In the eyes of others, her niece Xin Yi is the most likely to become Lin Yang's house. It is also possible to become an aunt through love in the future. The inside and outside of the words were sour in front of her.She was a little anxious, afraid that her niece would be confused.

She used to be the big girl next to Jia Min, and she also understood Jia Min's thoughts. The concubine's grandson is not as good as the grandson's, and Lin Hai doesn't have any common concubines. It took several years to marry Lin Yang after goingssip and gossip. Therefore, he also has the patience to wait for his grandson to be born. As long as Gu Jing can give birth, Jia Min will not arrange any concubine to make room for Gu Jing.In addition, she can be regarded as watching Lin Yang grow up. Lin Yang has amazing self-control. When he was very young, he could stop people from shouting and get up on time in the morning to read and fight.The girls in the family are always thinking about him, and he can restrain himself and never let his desire go.The most important thing is that if Lin Yang wanted to accept Xin Yi, he would have accepted it long ago and would not wait until now. Lin Yang made up his mind from the beginning to let out the girls around him. When Mulian got married, Jia Min and Lin Yang But there is no shortage of dowry.

Wu Hong's family found a time to meet Xin Yi's parents. Her parents were honest and listened to Wu Hong's family for everything. There were merchants outside, but Xin Yi didn't like any of them, and asked her what she wanted, but she didn't say anything.

How can Wu Hong's family not know Xin Yi's mind after hearing this, and wants to guard Lin Yang.She went to see Jia Min after returning home from Xin Yi's house. Jia Min had just woken up from a nap and her hair hadn't been combed yet. Looking at her movements in the mirror, he smiled and said, "It's been so many years, but you're not unfamiliar at all. With so many people, you should comb it well."

Xu Hua's family laughed and said: "Since Madam has praised her, why don't you give her a reward." Jia Min laughed and said, "You all know that you are greedy for my things, and you coax me to reward things whenever you get a chance, that's all, that's all. I'll be a boy of good fortune again today, from Wu Hong's family, pick what you like."

Wu Hong's family lowered their hands and said: "I don't dare to ask for Madam's things. If Madam rewards me, why don't you give me some kindness?"

Jia Min said, "Tell me about it."

Wu Hong's family said: "My niece named Xin Yi works in the uncle's yard. She is too old and has never said anything about her. Her parents are honest and trust me to tell Xin Yi about their marriage, but I am This piece of material." She said with a smile: "It happened that Mulian's parents said that Mulian was pregnant, and I realized that there is also a big Buddha statue of Madam in the house, so I asked Madam to give it to me with the cheek. Xin Yi talked about getting married."

Xu Hua's family jokingly said: "I remember that Mulian was only three or four months old after she got married, so she has a body so soon?" Wu Hong's family replied: "Isn't it? Thanks to Madam, I was able to marry such a good family, and I thought I would kowtow to Madam when I was safe."

After the words were finished, Jia Min smiled and said, "It's not too late to kowtow after she gives birth to the child. From Xu Hua's family, you will send something to that girl later, so that she can cherish her blessings." Xu Hua's family agreed, and Jia Min responded to Wu Hong's family Said: "Just don't worry, I will pay attention to the safekeeping and choose a marriage with all four corners for Xin Yi."

Wu Hong's family thanked Jia Min repeatedly, and played leaf cards with Jia Min again.After playing a few rounds, Daiyu came, first greeted Jia Min, and then asked suspiciously: "Mother Wu is here, but what's the matter with my brother?"

Wu Hong's family stood up and said no, Lin Yun has become more stable since she disappeared and was found, which made her worry a lot less. She studied with her husband in the afternoon, so Wu Hong's family had the time to hover around Jia Min's room. Laughed at a few interesting things about Lin Yun, which made Jia Min and Daiyu bend over laughing.

Jia Min asked Daiyu again, "You're bored by yourself." Originally, it was planned that the family would go to enjoy the chrysanthemums on the day of Muxiu, but because of Gu Jing's pregnancy, they couldn't go either.In the past, Daiyu and Lin Yun were studying with her, but now Lin Yun is studying with her husband, so Daiyu is free.

Daiyu shook her head, sat down beside Jia Min, and said with a smile, "I want to embroider a bellyband for my little nephew, but I can't choose a pattern, so I ask my mother to help me choose one." Jia Min joked, "Remember to embroider that bellyband Make it bigger." Daiyu was puzzled, and Jia Min smiled and said, "When you finish it, my nephew will probably run away, so I have to make it bigger."

Everyone in Xu Hua's family laughed when they heard the words, but Daiyu didn't take it seriously and said angrily, "I'm going to do it slowly." Hurry up, it takes a month to embroider a handkerchief, Lin Yun goes to her room every day to urge her, if she doesn't urge her, she doesn't know when it will be done, that's why Jia Min teased her, Jia Min suppressed a smile and said : "Yes, do it slowly."

Daiyu's cheeks were slightly red, she touched her face with her hands and changed the subject, "Mother played the leaf card, why didn't you call me?" Jia Min smiled and said, "I let you come, I guess all the money in my box is empty, I Don’t dare.” The others also laughed and said: “Madam beat us a lot by herself, if the girl comes again, I’m afraid we will all drink the northwest wind.”

After chatting and joking for a while, Jia Min brought up the old topic again and said distressedly: "If you are tired of staying at home, why don't you invite Tian Tian and Wei Wei to our house? By the way, don't you get along well with that Liu Miao? And invite all the girls who have been friends with you in the past."

Daiyu declined politely, "My sister-in-law is just pregnant with her nephew, so she invited people to the house to make a fuss, disturbing my sister-in-law's rest."

Jia Min said: "Then go live in Zhuangzi, no, I don't worry about you little girls, or I will go to Xishan to see the maple leaves in a few days, go to incense and worship Buddha, and stay in the monastery for a day before coming back." Yu still wanted to decline, but Jia Min couldn't refuse to order the girl to prepare something. Daiyu smiled and said, "It will take a long time for the maple leaves to become red."

Jia Min said: "It will be too late to prepare at that time. Most people in the capital will go to see Maple Leaf and stay in the monastery. If they don't go to the monastery early to get ready, it will be bad if they don't even have a wing room. You are too early If you are free, you will be happy, if you are not free, you can make another arrangement."

As Jia Min spoke, she urged Daiyu to go back and post a post, but Daiyu couldn't stand her, and went back to the house and took out the flower paper she made to post a post for Jiang Tian and the others. Only Liu Miao replied that she was detained by her family and could not get out. I asked Daiyu to draw a picture for her when she came back to comfort her regret that she couldn't go.
