old lady in red

Lingshi is dazzling.

However, Shi Mei endured greed.

"You keep it for yourself first, and you will go to the south of the Yangtze River in the next year, so maybe you can use these things with you.

When I arrive in Jiangnan, these things are really easy to get, and then bring them back to me, and I will not refuse. "

Knowing her mother's uncompromising temper, Jia Min took back the box: "I know I can't hold back my mother, so let's do as you say!"

Shi Mei wants to stay with Jia Min, the twelfth lunar month is not the time to be a guest.

Jia Min left immediately.

This year she has to preside over the Lin family's mid-term event and prepare for the Lin family's New Year's Eve.

Lin Ruhai is currently in the fourth rank, and many colleagues and classmates want to come to congratulate her.

In the first month, I'm afraid that customers will come like a cloud.

Ruhai's guests can't be careless.

Shi Mei personally escorted Jia Min's mother and son, and told her all the way: "If you are really too busy, why not just bring a few people from here to help, or can I give you some capable daughters-in-law?"

Jia Min shook her head: "You can't keep supporting me.

I always have to learn to be on my own.

Otherwise, if she goes to Jiangnan in the future, who can her daughter rely on? "

Shi Mei touched Qingyu: "This child is still too young.

Otherwise, you put the child here with me.

There are Cong'er, Zhang'er, and Rong'er as companions here, and they are not alone.Also save the child from suffering on the road. "

Jia Min shook her head: "Even if I'm willing, my mother-in-law won't agree. Now I carry it every day and play with it for a long time. I'll take it out, and it's your son-in-law who ordered me to do it."

Shi Mei was just worried, afraid of those corrupt salt merchant officials who were forced to repay their debts, and jumped over the wall in a hurry.

Adults can still withstand it, but children have no defense ability at all.

Can this child who has never existed in history escape?

At the beginning, Lin Ruhai watched his son and wife die, so he had no choice but to send his only daughter, Daiyu, to the capital to avoid disaster.

Everyone in the world is as blind as the sea.

Of course, Lin Ruhai would not be so hasty if he had no other choice.

In this lifetime, Lin Ruhai added two powerful supports.

However, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?

However, there is still nothing happening right now, how can Shi Mei announce it?

Depressed and worrying for a while!

Mrs. Zhang also rushed to see Jia Min off.

She was more careful, and soon found out that something was wrong with her mother-in-law.

Farewell to Jia Min, and on the way to send mother-in-law back to her room, Mrs. Zhang asked, "Is mother-in-law worried that the fourth sister is not suitable for the climate in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Shi Mei shook her head: "I'm not worried about your sister, I'm just worried that the child is too young."

Zhang said: "Jiangnan will not be colder than Kyoto..."

Shi Mei shook her head: "I'm not worried about the environment, I'm worried about people's hearts!"

After saying that, he waved his hands: "Go and get busy, I'm afraid there will be twice as many guests this year than last year, which is enough for you to be busy. Zhang'er has me, so don't worry about him."

Mrs. Zhang smiled: "Look at what you said, none of the children were handled by their mothers, and they are well-raised. What should the wife worry about?"

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled and went back to their rooms.

This year, Rongfu lost a daughter-in-law of Jia Xun, so it's no wonder that he joined hands.

Jia Xun's daughter-in-law was pregnant, and there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately, after more than a year of cultivation, Yuxiu has fully recovered.

Although Yuxiu's mother and son bought a house.

But because there is no man who is the head of the household, the family still lives in two places, Rong Mansion and Beijing Suburb Farm.

It just so happens that during the Chinese New Year, you can give Mrs. Zhang a shot.

Shi Mei wanted to give Jia Xuan a daughter-in-law.

It's a pity that this kid has his own plans.

It is said that he is still young, he should learn from Jia She, and wait until he is ten years old before getting married.

Shi Mei guessed that he didn't like the girl, so she stopped talking.

Jia Huang's daughter-in-law came a few times and wanted to intervene.

No matter how Shi Mei looked at it, she felt that her gaze was not right.

Thinking of Jin Rong's hobbies, Shi Mei didn't mess with her.

Now Mrs. Yang is also going home to prepare for the New Year's Eve, but Jia Rong is still happily staying in Rongqingtang.

It seems that this is his home.

Jia Cong, Jia Rong and Jia Zhang have now become the Iron Triangle.

Yuan Chun is now starting to learn female celebrities, he has to recite the family records, and learn all kinds of knowledge to be the head of the house in the future.

This time.

Yuan Chun was in the room to identify all kinds of brocade and silk.

Not only must you be able to recognize it at a glance, but you must also know the origin and performance of the cloth.

Appropriate clothing for that season.

Also know the taboos of various fabrics.

Learn how to match colors...

There is also an embroidery frame in the room, and a few flowers must be embroidered every day...

Shi Mei was really intimidated by such a complicated study task.

Yuan Chun is serious and self-disciplined.

The task of the day was not completed, Shi Mei asked her to rest and refused to agree.

In this way, she will not have Jia Cong's free time.

Now Jia Cong has become the child head of Rongqingtang.

Yuan Chun can only be regarded as an intimate young lady.

In comparison, Shi Mei is very relaxed.

Hiding in the Snapper all day playing with my grandson.

When you are happy, think about food for the children.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Zhang was as busy as a cart.

The old lady Shi Mei only needs to take care of her grandson.

Zuo was fine, so he used apples to make applesauce for the children.

Let the girl test the small steamed buns on the charcoal fire, and eat them with apple sauce.

Children can never say no to desserts.

Fragrant and crunchy bite the tongue.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Yuan Chunzhang's son, Rong'er, Bai Jintang and Bai Yajuan, brothers and sisters, ate around the grill.

Suddenly, there was a girl shrinking her head and tail at her mouth.

Shi Mei frowned.

Nanny Lai went out and scolded: "There are no rules, and you are well-informed, what are you doing sneakily?"

The little girl is a little girl with no hair. She has just been selected and hasn't learned the rules yet.

At a time like this, the foster mother should have been slacking off and letting her come out to hang out.

She was so frightened that her face changed: "It's not me, it's a little brother outside the second door who said that some beggar women came to the door, saying that they are relatives of Uncle Bai here...

He didn't dare to report, and he was afraid of delaying things.

Let me ask Uncle Bai if there is such a thing..."

Hearing this, Bai Jintang's expression turned serious.

His father was dispatched to Mobei, and went with his grandfather.

This is also the condition for Bai Fanyun to agree to reconcile.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Jingcai did nothing wrong and sent him to Lingnan.

Even if his grandmother escaped from Gansu, she should go to Mobei. Why did she come to Beijing?

Shi Mei also felt strange.

Bai Jintang was stunned for a moment, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He stood up and bid farewell to Shi Mei: "Grandmother, grandson go and see what's going on."

Shi Mei said: "Look quietly, don't contact your children with them.

If it is really the Bai family, go tell your mother and see what your mother says. "

Although the current house bears the sign of the Bai family, it is Yuxiu's dowry, and the wife of the Bai family is not eligible to live in it.

If it's really this white woman, it would be too shameless.

Who knew that Bai Jintang didn't come back after he left.

Shi Mei was asked to ask, but she said that Bai Jintang didn't ask his mother for instructions, and had already taken her away.

At this time, he had already left Rongning Street, and he didn't know where he was going.

Shi Mei asked Nanny Lai to check carefully.

Only then did I know that it was Mrs. Bai who came, and brought a young daughter-in-law with her, who also had a two-year-old child in her arms.

They were accompanied by a nanny who helped the young daughter-in-law take care of the child.

About an hour.

Bai Jintang turned around and came to report to Shi Mei: "It's my grandmother and the skinny horse."

Shi Mei was taken aback: "Did you arrange them?"

Bai Jintang shook his head: "They are the family members of the criminals in the Gansu ink corruption case who fled to Beijing privately, and their grandson has already sent them to the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture.

The Yamen will arrange for them to return to their hometowns.

My grandmother lived in the Huimin Institute, and I gave the prison head five taels of silver to arrange meals for her, enough for her to eat until she was repatriated. "

Shi Mei sighed inwardly.

Both court laws and etiquette were taken into account.

Bai Jintang was only nine years old, so it was impossible for him to support his grandmother.

It is commendable to be able to pay five taels of silver.

Moreover, the story of how the Bai family murdered the noble daughter of the Rong Mansion has been spread in all the yamen in the capital.

No one would say that Rong Mansion is wrong.

Shi Mei secretly instructed Lai Da: "Go and say hello to the censor who patrols the streets, be careful not to make troubles and lead people to our house to make trouble again.

Furthermore, to find out who led the person to our house, knowing that we have broken off the relationship with the Bai family, but leading the person to the door at the twelfth lunar month is bad intentions. "

Lai Da went out for a round and came back with a strange expression on his face.

But it was a boy from Aunt Yuxiu's brother's family, Bao Er, an idiot named Bao Er, who enthusiastically led him to the door.

Shi Mei laughed immediately when she heard this, it was really fate.

"The Bao family is a cook. It seems that there is no cook named Bao in our family?"

Lai Dao: "Then Bao Fu had Aunt Bao as a guarantor and worked as a cook in the East Mansion!"

"Does Jintang know?"

Lai Dao Dao: "You should know. Master Tianjintang cleaned up Bao Er a few days ago. When Bao Er met Master Jintang, he licked his face and called him cousin, and was rewarded by Master Jintang."

The Bao family's savvy was taken up by Aunt Bao alone.

Falling such a green hat king turned out to be the last straw for the collapse of Rong Mansion.

This is a small matter, and Shi Mei never asks, as long as the political opponents don't deliberately make things bad.

In the next few days, Bai Jintang will disappear for an hour every day.

Every time I go out for breakfast and go home before lunch.

Shi Mei had some guesses, but never asked.

The child has grievances in his heart, he must let him out, otherwise, he will cause serious problems.

This year's New Year's Eve.

Jia Zhu Yuanchun begged to see Shi Mei, saying that Mrs. Wang hadn't shown up for three years.

Wang Shuhua couldn't just ignore people all the time.

Request to let Wang Shi and Wang Shuhua come out to attend the Rong Mansion's annual banquet.

Shi Mei guessed that this was what Wang Ziteng meant, and felt that her sister would not show up for many years to drink during the New Year's Eve, which was a bit embarrassing.

After all, the outside world didn't know that Wang's property was separated and lived separately, so he thought it was sick.

Shi Mei felt that there was nothing wrong with the Wang family wanting to save face.

Instead, he made a request to Jia Zhu: "You can understand that you feel sorry for your mother and grandmother.

Grandma is just a little afraid that your mother doesn't make any distinctions.

At that time, the uncles, grandmothers and aunts in the back street will come to pay New Year's greetings.

Once your mother makes any jokes, Rong Mansion's face will be lost, and your siblings will not be able to lift their heads.You have to make sure that your mother and aunt will not make trouble. "

If the mother is exposed, she is no longer the mistress of Rongfu, and the harm to Jia Zhu Yuanchun will be very great.

Of course Jia Zhu knew the seriousness.

However, Jia Zhu thought that his mother still loved them and would not cause embarrassment to them.

Moreover, Jia Zhu thinks that the way his parents get along has been a little loose recently, and they should be able to get along peacefully.

Jia Zhu patted her chest in response: "My grandson will definitely persuade my mother to take care of the overall situation. I will never embarrass my grandmother and aunt again."

Shi Mei agreed.

On New Year's Eve of this year, Jia Zheng took the Wang sisters, Wang Shuhua, to Rongfu to watch the night.

Mrs. Wang kept her promise and behaved well in front of the sisters-in-law in the back street, and did not make any troubles again.

However, Shi Mei didn't let the Wang sisters attend the first month's treat.

When the Wang family came to visit, it was the Wang sisters who came out to entertain.

Shi Mei is telling the Wang family that if there is another Wang family, Wang Shuhua, the future will be like this.

They can participate in keeping the old age in the mansion, and they can also communicate with relatives of the Wang family.

However, for other matters, separate branches must be established, and they cannot be confused with Rongfu.

Shi Mei did not interfere with Jia Zheng's own treats, and Wang Shuhua, the Wang family, acted as the mistress.

The key is whether people are willing to leave the Rong Mansion aside and deal directly with the Second Household.

During the Spring Festival of this year, the people who keep the old age in the Rong Mansion are the most orderly.

Not only the Wang sisters appeared in Rongqingtang to keep the old age.

If Jia Zhen didn't go home, Jia Jing and his wife made an empty plan.

Two golden dragons were set ablaze at home, but the people were on the side of Rongfu, just waiting to go home on time at twelve o'clock to set off firecrackers.

On this day, the walls between Rongning and Ningfu were opened.

Several cars of firecrackers were piled up on Rongning Street, and they rang for a quarter of an hour before they stopped.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Cong, Bai Jintang and others, but there were sporadic firecrackers that exploded for half an hour, that's all.

Throughout the first lunar month, there was a hustle and bustle in front of Rongning Mansion.

Although Jia Amnesty was not at home, he did not interfere with his colleagues, who came to visit him.

Walking around during the New Year's Day, you must definitely accept gifts.

However, Shi Mei has long had a charter.

New Year's gifts are often exchanged, so only gifts are accepted, not cash.

No matter how much cash, Shi Mei will return it on the spot.

The guest gave the child a new year's purse, and Shi Mei would reward her in the same amount, and she would not eat more than she would.

The gifts received will also be registered one by one, in preparation for returning favors next time.

Jia Jing saw the rules of the Rong Mansion, and set the same rules for the Ning Mansion.

What Shi Mei did was to secretly remind Jia She.

Blocked things like Sun Shaozu in advance, took the money and went to the door to do business, and then turned around and said that he was selling his daughter.

Of course, Sun Shaozu was not alone in the matter of five thousand silver.

Jia Amnesty is really not a thing, and he failed to get it done for the alternate Taoist priest, but he did not refund the money.

The Sun family simply took the opportunity to come to the door to blackmail and talk about marriage, and they said it was selling their daughter.

Jia Zheng said that a second wife would also need a dowry gift of five thousand silver.

In this lifetime, Shi Mei will not allow anyone to have the slightest chance to insult the Rongguo Mansion.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Jia Amnesty finished his duties and went home.

But he brought back [-] silver again and let Shi Mei put it into the public account.

Shi Mei was really taken aback.

But Jia Amnesty said, "Your Majesty's assignment to his son this year is to be in charge of the appointment schedule of the officials in frontiers."

Shi Mei was surprised: "Does this mean that His Majesty let you go?"

Jia She nodded: "Last year this job belonged to Marquis Yan, but this year he was interested in the foreign envoy, so he went over there to buy interesting things, and this place belongs to me."

Shi Mei pushed: "Since Marquis Yan let you, can't you take it all by yourself?"

Jia She said: "How can it be possible? The accounts were divided early. All the internal officials divided 1 taels, Yanhou gave [-], and the remaining [-] is my son's hard-earned money."

Shi Mei thought for a while and said: "This is your private account, not your salary. You don't have to pay it to the public. It will be kept by your wife, and you can subsidize the children in the future."

Jia Amnesty then knelt down: "Mother said that, how can I give my son any face?

My mother has never used any public money in these years. How can I calculate the public money and private money? "

Shi Mei laughed: "Why don't you use the money from the public office, you get dividends every year, it's just keeping accounts for the past few years.

When the public account has money, it will naturally be given to me.

Furthermore, what do I do with the money, I don't want to distribute it to the children.It's the same wherever you put it. "

In the end, Mrs. Zhang did not embezzle the money privately, but placed it in the public account for disposal.

Left but right now the entire mansion belongs to their husband and wife, it is really hard to tell the difference between public and private accounts.

To tell the truth, the advantage is the monthly board, lodging and education expenses of the Jia Zhu brothers and sisters.

As long as Jia Zhu can live and Yuan Chun does not enter the palace, this pair of dragon and phoenix brothers and sisters will be the greatest help in Jia Lian's life in the future.

Mrs. Zhang is very intelligent, and this kind of thing is very transparent.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian's things are all in duplicate, without the slightest deviation.

Yuanchun is the only one, and everything follows the strict style of the daughter of the Houfu.

What Wang shi had been pursuing so hard at the beginning, now Yuanchun easily obtained it.

Shi Mei reckoned that this was also the reason Wang was able to hold back her anger.

It's just that Shi Mei doesn't know whether Wang really repented or hibernated temporarily.

Soon, Shi Mei lost her mind to think about Wang's affairs.

Jia Min had to leave after the fifteenth day.

On the second day of the first lunar month, Jia Min came to Rongfu, but because Mother Lin was at home alone, she hurried back.

This time Shi Mei got the news of the implementation, so she was not polite.

After getting the news on the sixth day, and on the seventh day, they asked Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Jia Cong to drive to Lin's house to meet Jia Min Guining.

However, when Jia Min arrived at Rongqing Hall, he was busy almost every day.

During the day, I have to socialize with relatives, and most of them come to give gifts.

This is the rule.

Aunt Guining is in this battle.

No matter how expensive or cheap something is, it is a heart.

If the people in the clan don't support her, Shi Mei will get angry, thinking that they don't know how to understand the world, and if they cut off their assistance, the consequences will be very serious.

Sapphire is recycled into many shoes, socks and clothes.

They were all gifts from the little aunts who were promoted by Jia Min back then.

These things are all made of the silk and cotton cloth that Jia Min gifted back then, so they can be worn directly.

Shi Mei wrapped it up for Qingyu: "This is the work of your little aunts who stayed up all night with thousands of stitches and thousands of stitches. Don't forget it when you grow up!"

Everyone in the room felt that Shi Mei was making a fuss out of a molehill, and she was just wearing shoes, socks and clothes.

In Shi Mei's heart, these things are regarded as sincere blessings with thousands of needles and thousands of threads.

I hope that Qingyu can be safe and sound wearing these clothes, shoes and socks that are like consecration.

Jia Min lived in Rong Mansion for three days, and was taken back by Lin Ruhai.

Because I have to pack my luggage for the road.

Jia Amnesty eats enough for one person and the whole family is not hungry.

The Lin family is dragging the family, so they have to clean it up.

Yanhou Jia She set off for Jiangnan on the same day as them.

Don't be afraid of too many things.

Regarding this, Shi Mei was also a little relieved, at least nothing would happen on the road.

Jia Min was a little frightened this time, holding Shi Mei and crying so hard that she refused to get up.

Shi Mei and Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to promise that starting tomorrow, they would come over every day to help clean up and salute.

Only then did Jia Min wipe away tears and go back.

Afterwards, Shimei and Zhang kept their promise and helped clean up the Lin Mansion every day.

Sixteen this day.

The whole family of the Rong Mansion sent Jia Min, Lin Ruhai and his wife, together with Yanhou Jia She, to the long pavilion ten miles outside the city.

Lin Ruhai, Marquis of Jia Sheyan, joined the team a long time ago, ready to go.

But Jia Min hugged Shimei and Mrs. Zhang and refused to let go, only crying until Huarong was miserable.

Jia Min is now 20 years old, and this is her first solo career.

I was very panicked.

Shi Mei softly comforted: "It's okay, there is a mother at home, life is hard outside, so come home, mother will always wait for you and protect you."

Only then did Jia Min chuckle: "Oh, mother, what are you talking about, others will make fun of you.

She's not squeamish, she's just reluctant to part with her mother and sister-in-law! "

Shi Mei also laughed: "That's right!

Do you know why people leave again and again?

Remember what mother said, the temporary parting is for the next beautiful reunion! "

Jia Min smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded, "Daughter, remember, next time we meet, my daughter will definitely become better and more capable. Don't ask mother to worry a little bit."

Shi Mei said goodbye to Jia Min and turned around, passing the gate of the city, but found a group of beggars, beating three women around, and even snatching food from their hands and mouths.

When the city gate officials saw someone passing by, they drove them away.

The little beggars scattered.

Shi Mei took a look, she was too far away, she couldn't see clearly, she just felt that it was against harmony.

Refugees can't dress so well.

If you dress so well, why do you want to be a refugee?

However, three days later, Shi Mei knew where her sense of disobedience came from.

Lai Dalai reported to Shimei that Young Master Bai's grandmother had committed homicide.

Shi Mei was stunned and hurriedly asked what happened.

But since the white lady arrived in the capital, Bai Jintang has always provided her with food and drink.

Because Bai Jintang is underage, he has no fixed place to live.

This white woman can only live in the Huimin House.

Bai Jintang was very filial. During the Chinese New Year, he sold Mrs. Bai brand-new robes and cotton trousers, and gave away five or six big white steamed buns a day.

The white woman can still make three bowls of porridge in Shuntian Mansion every day, and her life is very nourishing.

The white lady is very stingy, except for the little grandson, the skinny horse nurse doesn't want to eat a dry bite.

The skinny horse is not a good person either, and even instigated the little beggar to rob the white lady.

She and the nanny can take the opportunity to eat a few mouthfuls of albuginea.

To be honest, the government’s porridge and Kang shells were not cleaned.

Some beggars play tricks and deliberately mix sand and dust into the porridge, in order to marinate those who like to be clean, so that they can eat more and live an extra day.

It was also a coincidence that on the night of the sixteenth day, peach blossom snow suddenly fell, and it was very cold.

The thin horse was afraid that his son would freeze to death, so when the white woman was fast asleep, he quietly took off her new cotton coat and gave it to his son.

Where did the white woman obey when she woke up, but she couldn't snatch it.

After all, the skinny horse and the nanny are two people.

Once the skinny horse gained power, he simply refused to return it and seized the new padded jacket to make a quilt for his son.

The white lady has been domineering all her life, she chased Yuxiu away, and the thin horse coaxed her.

Have you ever been so angry?

Doing mental calculations but not intentionally, he opened his eyes and waited until midnight. First, he hit the nanny's head with a stick.

Then snatch the padded jacket.

The skinny horse woke up with a start and fought with it.

The thin horse is young, but he can't eat or sleep well.

The white lady is old, and she is doing well these days.

The two were evenly matched.

It was only after dawn that the nurse was found dead.
