old lady in red

Although Shi Mei didn't want to tolerate anyone.

However, Jia Min likes Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai is also a nice person.

Then, when Jia Min was not prepared to reconcile, he had no choice but to bear it.

In addition to caring about the heirs of the Lin family, Mother Lin cared a lot.

He has a special attachment to his son and has a strong desire to control, but he is not a villainous person.

Jia Min only needs to stay in the capital, accompany his son for treatment, and not confront Lin's mother.

If you can't afford to provoke, you can hide.

In this era, benevolence and filial piety are paramount, and the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law resist, and there is almost no chance of winning.

Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a 30-year-old daughter-in-law becoming a mother-in-law!

Jia Min understands.

There are two ways to prevent Lin Ruhai from making a choice.

First, she stayed in Kyoto with Qingyu.

Second, Lin's mother stayed in Kyoto with Jia Min's mother and son.

If the Hangzhou incident happened again, Jia Min felt that he would collapse.

"I understand, I will never think about flying together. I will be a good wife, mother and daughter-in-law!"

I used to think that I couldn't do without Lin Ruhai.

For the first year, she persevered.

Now that March has passed, she has persisted.

In this world, no one can live without leaving.

Shi Mei said: "If it's not easy for you to speak up, I'll discuss it with my son-in-law, and your mother-in-law can also talk about it.

Qingyu is afraid of water, and there is water everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River. She values ​​her grandson and will definitely agree. "

Jia Min shook her head: "Don't ask your mother to take it, it's the Lin family's business, it's my mother's business.

I will communicate well with my husband. "

Shi Mei's face was expressionless when she heard the words, but she sighed inwardly.

Jia Min's name for Lin Ruhai changed.

In the past, Big Brother Lin never left his mouth, but now he has become a husband.

Shi Mei knew that Jia Min and Lin Ruhai could never return to the beginning.

I hope they can respect each other as guests.

Then, November passed, and Mother Lin did not go to Beijing.

During Laba, Jia Min received a letter from Lin Ruhai, saying that Lin's mother was unwell and that she might not be able to adapt to the cold weather in Kyoto, so she decided not to go to Beijing for the time being.

Jia Min breathed a sigh of relief.

She can spend less time with her mother-in-law.

Now when she thinks of the Lin family's mother and son, she will be nervous.

Shi Mei suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Lin's mother was afraid that she would not want her son to go to Beijing to bow his head to his wife.

But what about her grandson?

On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jia, the Marquis of Yan, pardoned the tall horses and returned to Beijing together.

Lin Ruhai, who promised to return to Beijing, did not go to Beijing as Shi Mei had guessed.

Lin Zhong, the chief steward of the Lin family, escorted a convoy of gifts to Beijing.

Lin Ruhai wrote a letter to Jia Min, explaining why he couldn't go to Kyoto.

Mother Lin suddenly dreamed of Father Lin, who said he was very lonely.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai sent his mother back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

It's a big hat.

Jia Min's mother and son dare not be wronged again!

Jamin was very uncomfortable.

Since Lin Ruhai couldn't return to Beijing, the original arrangement of visiting and giving gifts in person had to be changed.

Previously, Jia Min had given New Year gifts to the Lin family's in-laws, the Jia family, the Zhang family, the Wang family, and the Shi family as usual.

What is left now is Ruhai's mentor, Du Shangshu.

Such as the sea in the Hanlin Academy Shangguan Fu University Bachelor.

Zuodu Censor of the Procuratorate has not given a gift yet.

According to Lin Ruhai's arrangement, Jia Min personally wrote greeting cards and asked Lin Zhong to personally send a cart of Jiangnan soil ceremonies to all three families.

However, Jia Min's mother and son did not return to the Lin family's house, but continued to live in Wei Ruixuan in Rongfu with Qingyu.

In the huge Lin Mansion, there are only mother and son.

There are few people in the house, and they can't support their popularity.

Qingyu was frightened in the first place, and couldn't stand the second fright.

Before Qingyu cultivated successfully, Jia Min didn't dare to take any more risks.

In the Lin Mansion, only his old family member Lin Zhong stays at home to watch the new year

It's the time of the night of New Year's Eve.

On the side of the Rong Mansion, Jia She took Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Jia Cong, together with a team of courtyard guards, to escort Jia Min's mother and son, and set off a carload of firecrackers in front of Lin's house.

Then, the mother and son returned to Rongfu with the car.

Lin Zhong burst into tears.

He didn't know why the old lady changed her mind and went back to her hometown, and he didn't know why the young lady and the young master didn't go home to support their appearance.

Shi Mei originally wanted to have a good talk with Lin Ruhai, but now it's not possible.

I had no choice but to write a letter and asked Lin Zhong to bring it to Lin Ruhai.

Shi Mei didn't actually write anything of her own.

Instead, Wang Taiyi, An Taiyi, and more than a dozen doctors on the ground in Kyoto who had been consulted by the Rongfu directly put the papers on Qingyu's illness into the envelope.

This is to explain why Jia Min's mother and son did not go home for the New Year, but stayed in Rongfu.

Then, Shi Mei persuaded Jia Min to write a letter, informing Qingyu of her decision to let Qingyu learn Tuna Kungfu, and to inform her that a swimming pool was built at home.

All this is to treat Qingyu's hydrophobia.

Jia Min said, when Qingyu overcame her fear of water, when she took her son south to reunite.

Then, Qingyu also wrote a letter, telling his father and grandmother that he would eat well, take medicine well, practice hard, strive for an early recovery of health, and go south to visit his grandmother and father.

Shi Mei also asked Dr. Li of Huichuntang, who saw Qingyu to see a doctor on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, to personally tell Lin Zhong about the situation at that time.

When Dr. Li mentioned that Qingyu was clenching her teeth, trembling all over, and lost her mind.

Lin Zhong cried.

Shi Mei avoided Jia Min in the end, and talked to Lin Zhong: "It's not that I'm partial to my daughter, the mother-in-law is sick, and the daughter-in-law should take care of her.

However, Min'er really couldn't bear Qingyu's little child...

No matter how young he is, he still has one life!

Don't you think so? "

Lin Zhong was so frightened that he trembled all over: "Old lady, young master, and us, never thought that young master Qingyu's illness is so serious..."

Shi Mei waved her hand: "Master originally believed in me and wanted to entrust the child to me.

In theory, I am duty-bound.

However, I am very worried about Qingyu's special situation, fearing that he will not be able to bear it without his parents...

The only people Qingyu trusts most are her parents.

Now the father can't stay by his side, only the mother is left.

These words should have waited for the son-in-law to come to Beijing, and let the imperial physician speak to him face to face.

pity……

Therefore, I would like to ask you to go over the house for a while.

You are an old man in the Lin family. You have protected the mother and son of the Lin family for many years. You are not a relative but a relative.

I also have something to say, no one sees outside.

I also know that our father-in-law forced this marriage back then.

He loves talent and cherishes talent, so he fell in love with my uncle.

Mrs. Lin felt uncomfortable because of this...

It's just that I thought the son was born, and the matter has passed, but Jitai is here...

Who would have thought that the current situation...

Please tell the truth after the old housekeeper returns to Jiangnan. "

Lin Zhong just waved his hands: "No, the old lady originally agreed to go to Beijing, but, just, later, the old lady suddenly had a nightmare..."

Shi Mei nodded: "It's understandable, mother and child have been dependent on each other for more than ten years.

Our Min'er is spoiled at home, and has a little temper, maybe there is something wrong, please ask Lin Butler to make a plea on your behalf, let's accompany her. "

Shi Mei said with a blessing: "Thank you!"

Lin Zhongcheng was terrified: "The old lady is serious!"

He knew in his heart that the old mistress would lose more than she gained!

On the third day of the first lunar month, Lin Zhong left Kyoto early.

Before leaving Beijing, I came to say goodbye to the mistress.

Jia Min took Qingyu to receive Lin Zhong, and asked Qingyu to greet his grandmother and father in person.

I also greet An Dai myself.

Talk and laugh freely with Lin Zhong.

Then, Lin Zhong left Rongfu.

Jia Min couldn't bear it any longer, showing some fatigue, feeling uncomfortable, and pretending to be polite, talking and smiling, really tired.

Yan Hou attacked the White Lotus Sect in the south of the Yangtze River and purged the Salt Gang and Cao Gang, and it is said that it has achieved great results.

Today, almost all the members of the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang have joint guarantees from merchants or local farmers.

Make sure that there are no illegal aliens.

At the same time, this year's salt tax has increased by 500 million.

Jiahe Emperor Long was overjoyed, and Marquis Yan was promoted again.

Yan Hou, the governor of Zhejiang, also served as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

From the second grade to the second grade.

Yan Hou was still holding a police envoy in his hand.

This can completely challenge the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Yan Hou was not born in the imperial examination.

After hearing the news, Shi Mei thought of Li Wei in the Yongzheng Dynasty.

The Li Wei in the joke, Li Wei, who is not a scholar, achieved the position of governor.

It all depends on the favor of Emperor Yongzheng.

From this point of view, Emperor Jiahe wanted to hold the money bag of Jiangnan tightly in his own hands.

Jia Amnesty has not been promoted or demoted this year.

However, Rongfu's debts were all settled.

Then, Rongfu's treasury had a deposit of 10 taels of silver.

Zhang's face turned into a flower with a smile.

Debt-free with a light ah.

Shi Mei was also very happy.

Her previous ideal was not to let the debt weigh on her grandson.

Now it is a wish fulfilled ahead of schedule.

Then, Jia Zheng went out to drink and brought back a message.

"We Jinling has produced a capable person this time.

Li Shouzhong, a former scholar of the Hanlin Academy, was transferred to the Imperial Academy to serve as a sacrificial wine.

It is said that he is somewhat related to our grandmother, and can be regarded as the grandmother's distant nephew.

Today I met at Fu University, and I hit it off with my son immediately, saying that I would hand over a sign to say hello. "

Shi Mei didn't care at first.

Suddenly, Shi Mei was startled: "Li Shouzhong? Which Li Shouzhong? Why haven't I heard of you before?"

Jia Zheng's face turned red, he didn't like to make friends with others.

"Mum, you didn't ask me before.

This Li Shouzhong seems to be the same year as Brother Jing, but he is a good scholar and stayed in the Imperial Academy to edit.

This Li Shouzhong is very famous among Qing nobles.

People grow flowers and grass in their yard, but his garden grows cabbages, radishes, and pea flowers..."

Shi Mei heard these words familiarly: "Isn't this the one who sold the house to Yuxiu?"

Jia Zheng laughed: "Growing and buying vegetables is performed almost every year in the homes of Hanlin scholars.

The Imperial Academy is a Qingshui yamen, if the family has no family background, and the wives don't grow vegetables, they will really go hungry, let alone eat meat. "

Shi Mei wondered: "Is there no salary in the Imperial Academy?"

Jia Zheng said: "Of course there is a salary.

However, there are only 50 taels of silver a year.

Qingshui Yamen also has no respect for carbon and ice, and often a large family lives with their salary, and they are tight.

Moreover, in this capital, favors are also necessary expenses.

Colleagues have something to do, if you don't take favors, who will care about you?

But after leaving the favor, the stomach will not be full.

A few days ago, I heard from Master Fu that there was a child from the Hanlin family who was so greedy that he worked in a tavern.

In order to eat the food and drink left by the guests, he met an unreasonable guest and got beaten up a lot.

Said that he would rather throw it away and feed it to the dogs than give it to the poor..."

Shi Mei waved her hand: "Oh, New Year's Eve, what are you talking about, really..."

Jia Zheng is so wronged, didn't you ask?

But dare not be stubborn.

But Shi Mei knew in her heart, how to deal with Li's family when they came to pay their respects tomorrow.

Just give the child a ruler-headed golden scorpion.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are fine.

The sixth day of the first month.

Li Shouzhong and his wife met at Shengmen.

Guozijian offered wine to the door, but it was full of splendor.

Naturally, Mother Jia received her warmly. For the first time, she met Li Shouzhong's wife and his eldest daughter, Li Wan, who was said to be well-mannered.

Then, Shi Mei found that Li Wan was too dignified.Head down, eyes fixed on one place, don't like to turn.

However, when Shi Mei sent the gift, she raised her head to express her gratitude, her eyebrows and eyes were very nice.

It's also good-looking when you smile.

However, she seems to be very used to bowing her head and face.

This Li Shouzhong came to visit with his daughter. As an ancestor, Shi Mei should praise him, and then ask him how old he is, what books he has read and so on.

Shi Mei asked according to the etiquette.

Li Wan said that he read the Four Books of Women and Biography of Martyrs every day.

Shi Mei couldn't put this girl on an equal footing with that Li Wan who dared to gossip with Sister Feng.

Feng girl is already in a hurry right now, she dares to chase Jia Lian to Cuiwei Mountain.

However, I don't know what to do in this life.

The palace even invited a gentleman to teach Wang Ren and Wang Xifeng how to read and write.

However, Wang Ren and Wang Xifeng have been in the sea all year round, and the news spread back to Jinling, but it is not known whether it is true or not.

Shi Mei didn't know why she suddenly thought of Wang Xifeng, and was busy continuing to care: "How old is this year? But..."

Then, Shi Mei suddenly felt that it was not good to ask her in-laws when they first met.

"Do you like Kyoto?"

Li Wan said: "Returning to the old lady, my daughter is fourteen this year. My daughter likes the solemn atmosphere of Kyoto. It is indeed the most benevolent place of the emperor."

Shi Mei smiled: "Could it be that this year you will enter the palace for a draft?"

Mrs. Li said: "That's true. Although I have applied for exemption, the process still has to go."

Then, Shi Mei asked Yuan Chun to bring Yajuan and the two-year-old Yingchun Xichun out to meet the guests.

Shi Mei was very sensitive, she found Mrs. Li secretly staring at her a few times.

Shi Mei felt baffled, could it be that the rules of the Li family were different from other families, and she made a mistake in asking Yuan Chun to come out to meet guests?

Mother Jia thought about the ancient principles of being a good lady, and it was obvious that she hadn't made any mistakes.

The Li family left after having lunch in Rongfu.

The things that the Li family brought for the New Year were earthen ritual instruments and toys from the south of the Yangtze River.

When Shi Mei returned home, the gift was Jinghua's special product, roasted chicken, roasted duck, roasted goose and crystal trotters. She packed four big food boxes, added dried fruits, and sent them to Li's family.

Then, Shi Mei asked Mrs. Zhang who was accompanying the guest: "Well, that Mrs. Li seems to be hesitating to speak, can you see that?"

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and smiled: "My daughter-in-law can see..."

Shi Mei scolded: "What are you laughing at?"

Zhang said: "You should ask your second uncle about this matter."

Shi Mei's heart skipped a beat, but she couldn't believe it. Could it be that Jia Zhu got engaged at the age of 13?

Shi Mei had told him about this at the time, not to act recklessly.

But for a moment, Jia Zheng really came to pay his respects.

Then, Jia Zheng asked, "Mother, what do you think of the eldest daughter of the Li family?"

Shi Mei's heart is clear, and she feels that the Li family is here to see Jia Zhu.

It's no wonder that he only let the young lady out, Mrs. Li seemed very surprised?

Shi Mei's face suddenly changed: "What did you tell the Li family?"

Seeing that Shi Mei's face changed, Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "No, I didn't say anything. I just met Brother Li and we talked about our children. He said that he had a 14-year-old daughter. He asked me how my knees were, and my son said..."

Shi Mei immediately sternly said, "Why did you worry about Zhu'er?

Did he hire a teacher, check his homework for him, or ask for his health?

You don't care about anything, just call yourself a father.

Why do you become active when talking about marriage?

Forgot everything I told you? "

Jia Zheng was taken aback, he didn't remember his mother talking about Jia Zhu's marriage.

Shi Mei said: "I said before that Zhu'er is a scholar at fifteen, and a scholar at eighteen. The sons of Jia's family must first establish their careers.

you forgot? "

Jia Zheng said, "I thought you were talking about marriage."

Shi Mei said: "Wrong, what I said was discussing relatives!"

Jia Zhengdao: "The Li family's lintel is not low. Even if Zhu'er is on the list, she may not find a better family."

Shi Mei smiled: "Then let me ask you, why are you not on good terms with Mrs. Wang?

Is it because she is illiterate and lacks talent and interest?

Look at the girl from the Li family. When I came to this room today, I didn't call her name, she didn't even look up.

Why do you not like dull wives, but you want to find them like this for your son?

Do you think Pearl is like you? "

Jia Zheng's face turned dark and he just cupped his hands: "My son didn't mean that, he is really a scholarly family of the Li family, brother Li is very talented in literature, I want to come..."

Shi Mei snorted: "You only look at your father when you pick a son-in-law, and you look at your mother-in-law when you pick a daughter-in-law?"

Jia Zheng froze, where did he go to see his mother-in-law?

But he was dissatisfied in his heart and dared not speak out.

Shi Mei looked at Jia Zheng's cowardice and said, "You are not allowed to decide Zhu'er Yuan'er's marriage.

As for Baoyu and Wang Shuhua, if you teach me yourself, I don't care.

Pearl and Yuaner were cultivated by me since I was a child, you don't want to reach out to pick the fruit, remember? "

Jia Zheng flattered his lips, but he agreed: "Son, I wrote it down, but, but..."

Shi Mei said: "Speak up if you have something to say!"

Jia Zheng said: "The Li family is really good. If Jia Zhu wants to go to school, the Li family can help."

Shi Mei said: "We Zhu'er can take the test by ourselves.

I don't need anyone's help.

As for why the Li family failed, it's not that the girl is bad, it's just that she is not suitable for Zhu'er.

That family of yours is already dull. Zhu Er has been worrying about your parents since she was a child, and married her a daughter-in-law who talks but not talking. Isn't the child depressed to death?

There is another one, the girl is fourteen, if she fails in the draft, she will be engaged.

Pearl was only thirteen.

There is a proverb in the ancients; it is called a female freshman, not a wife.

So, no matter how good she is, she is not suitable for Pearl. "

Together, the two will die together.

After giving birth to a son, he was cursed by Cao Gong: "Weihehe Juelu Gaodeng; dim and miserable, the road to Huangquan is near!" '

If you want to change your destiny, you can only separate and be safe.

As long as it is for Jia Zhu's benefit, Shi Mei is happy to beat the mandarin ducks.

Jia Zheng was deceived by the illusion of his mother's gentleness before, thinking that his mother was old and calm.

Under today's test, the mother is still strong.

Jia Zheng couldn't see the woman in person, Wang couldn't go out, Wang Shihua didn't have the qualifications to show up, and he could only rely on his mother.

Jia Zheng believed that his mother loved Zhu'er so much that she would never find Zhu'er an unreliable daughter-in-law.

However, Jia Zheng could no longer be called brother and brother with Chu Qiao Li Shouzhong among the literati.

Afterwards, Jia Zheng kept avoiding Li Shouzhong.

Marriage matters can often be interpreted with a look.

The Li family understood Jia Zheng's behavior.

The old lady of the Jia family did not like the eldest girl of the Li family.

The marriage failed.

Although Li Shouzhong is the fourth rank and Jia Zheng is the fifth rank, the marriage is regarded as Jia Zheng's high ranking.

However, Jia Zheng has a super-rank mother, the elder brother of a second-rank official, and the second son of the Hou family.

This marriage is also highly sought after by the Li family.

Although it is the consensus of marriage to marry high and marry low.

However, there is no reason for the woman to propose marriage.

The Li family soon began to move around with the other family, but there was no movement from Jia's mother.

Obviously, the Rong Mansion did not want to make an early engagement for the grandson.

Jia Zhu was delighted when she learned that her grandmother said she would find a daughter-in-law with good looks and a bright personality.

I came to say hello to my grandmother this evening, and made an extra bow.

Shi Meiyin asked: "What is there to ask grandma for?"

Jia Zhu smiled shyly: "No, I just want to bow to my grandmother."

At such a time, Jia Zhang took the Spring Festival greeting card and played plaid on the carpet.

Jia Zhang was extremely clever. At that time, Shi Mei scolded Jia Zheng, and he was taken to the next door by his mother.

However, his ears were sharp, and the three-year-old Jia Zhang remembered clearly what Shi Mei said to Jia Zheng.

Suddenly interjected: "I know, brother Zhu'er wants grandma to find her a beautiful wife.

He doesn't want the big sister of the Li family. "

Mrs. Zhang was also there, busy yelling: "Nonsense, what do you know, be careful when your father beats you..."

Jia Amnesty was not at home all year round, but Jia Zhang was not afraid. He shrank his head, made a face, and beckoned his sister to play the game.

Shi Mei looked at Nanny Lai, at that time Shi Mei asked him and her to clear the scene.

Nanny Lai blushed, she thought the child was ignorant, who knew that he already had ears.

I thought to myself, the young master of Rong Mansion is too smart and weird, next time we clear the scene, just take him to the cross courtyard.

Shi Mei also stared at Jia Zhang, it was time for the bridleless horse to be harnessed.

Shi Mei summoned Jia Cong and told him, "It's time for Zhang'er to read pictures, Cong'er, enlighten my younger brother."

Jia Congte was happy, and his heart burst into laughter.

At the beginning, it was the eldest brother Zhu and the second brother Lian who joined forces to deal with him.

This time he has another soldier in his hand.

Jia Cong immediately went to catch Jia Zhang: "Come with brother, brother will tell you a storybook."

Jia Zhang loves to listen to stories, the pony crosses the river, the tortoise and the hare race.

However, what he loves most is Sun Monkey making trouble in the East China Sea, Sun Monkey making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and Sun Monkey stealing peaches.

As long as it is a monkey, he likes it.

He happily asked: "What are you talking about Sun Monkey today?"

Jia Cong said: "Today we won't talk about Sun Monkey, but about the Great Golden Crow, Aunt Chang'e, and Fairy Stars in the sky, Lei Zhenzi, Mrs. Feng Yu..."

Jia Zhang didn't know how powerful he was: "Okay, okay..."

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips and smiled: "This Cong'er is really not big in a lifetime..."

Shi Mei also laughed: "Back then Lian'er fooled him like that."

At this time, Yingchun Xichun came over.

These two girls are much more disciplined and won't crawl into people's arms.

Both of them stood next to Shi Mei, with pink bun faces upturned, obediently listening to their mother and grandmother talking.

Shi Mei then asked, "Why don't you play anymore?"

Xichun used her arm to abduct Yingchun: "Sister said!"

Yingchun nodded with her mouth toots, her small eyebrows furrowed: "It's not fun."

Shi Mei was surprised: "Did you play well just now?"

Yingchun pursed her cherry mouth: "Brother is not here, no one is a referee, it's not fun."
