old lady in red

The reason why Nanny Lai looked dark was because the messenger was her son.

Therefore, she already knew the content of the letter.

Mammy Lai thought that his wife and fourth young lady were so happy, and didn't want to spoil the mood of the master.

He hesitated whether to wait until tomorrow to submit the letter.

Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Shi Mei knew something was going on: "What are your eldest grandma and second grandma doing?"

Shi Mei misunderstood that the two daughters-in-law were fighting.

Neither of these two are good stubble.

Wang is domineering and domineering, and likes to plot people with clumsy tricks.

Mrs. Zhang was born in a scholarly family, with dimples in her chest and hidden needles in her speech, so she is not easy to bully.

Shi Mei kept Nanny Lai just to let them have some scruples, so as not to make too much trouble.

Shi Mei didn't want to watch them play tricks in front of her every day, so as to save them from waking up early in the morning,

Of course, that's not all.

It was too early for Shi Mei to wake up.

In the evening, Shi Mei will practice with Jia Min.

Walking to relieve boredom, having two bright grandchildren is enough.

Shi Mei didn't like her daughter-in-law staring at her like a doorpost when eating, she felt very uncomfortable.

Nanny Lai lowered her head and said, "It's not the eldest grandma and the second grandma, but Uncle Zhen from Ningfu..."

When Shi Mei heard Jia Zhen's name, she had some guesses in her heart.

Jia Zhen is not working at the moment, and what has to do with him is either marriage or romantic affairs.

Now that Jia Zhen is still young and Jia Jing is at home, I don't think it is possible to dare to do romantic affairs.

"Brother Zhen? Has the marriage changed?"

Nanny Lai almost wanted to kneel down and worship: "How did Madam guess it?"

Shi Mei smiled: "Jia Zhen is a boy of sixteen or seventeen, apart from his marriage, there is something worthy of writing. Don't say that he has passed the Jinshi exam, this year is not a year for the competition."

It's not that Shi Mei underestimates people, Jia Zhen's lazy temperament will not pass the exam in her next life.

He asked again: "Tell me quickly, what happened? Could it be that the marriage has to be brought forward?"

Nanny Lai paid her respects again: "My wife guesses right. It's Brother Zhen's marriage that needs to be brought forward. This is only one, and the second is that the master of the Yu family has rejected the marriage. The marriage between the two families cannot be concluded!"

Shi Mei frowned: "Why?"

Although the Yu family is not very powerful in the army, they have a good relationship with Jia Daishan.

Now that Jia Daishan is gone, and Jia Amnesty is going to join the army, these old supporters are indispensable.

Unexpectedly, something happened to the already settled marriage.

Nanny Lai said: "Well, madam, let's read the letter."

Nanny Lai had the letter in her pocket early in the morning, but Jia Min, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian's aunts and nephews were by her side, so she never took it out.

At this moment, he said to let Shimei read the letter, but his hands did not move, and his eyes glanced at the three aunts and nephews intentionally or unintentionally.

Shi Mei smiled and was about to speak.

Jia Min got up early and smiled: "Oh, Zhu'er, Lian'er, let's hurry up and record today's interesting stories about hunting and worshiping ancestors in the fields, otherwise we will forget about it tomorrow."

Without any explanation, he took the two nephews to the inner study next door.

Only then did Mammy Lai take out the letter.

Shi Mei was speechless when she saw it.

The letter was written by Jia Jing himself, and it simply stated that Jia Zhen's wedding date was advanced, please Shi Mei's understanding.

Furthermore, Jia Zhen, the young head of the patriarch, got married, and the logic should be to let the clan go back to attend the wedding. Now it is too late, so let Jia Mu explain this on her behalf.

As for why the wedding date was changed, Jia Jing did not hide the fact that Shi Mei was an aunt.

He wrote: Zhen'er committed crimes, and Yang's womb was secretly knotted.

It turned out that Yang Qing'er, Yang's nephew, was pregnant.

To be precise, it should be Jiang Qing'er.

The Jiang family did not recognize this daughter, so Mrs. Yang asked her son to adopt her niece.

Therefore, Jia Zhen got married in October this year ahead of schedule and married Yang Qing'er.

Shi Mei frowned and looked at Nanny Lai: "What's going on, what did Lai Sheng say?"

Nanny Lai said: "Speaking of this matter, it's like singing an opera!"

However, after Jia Jing and his wife returned home in April, they were busy preparing for the engagement banquet with the Yu family.

As a result, Jia Zhen kept making noises about retiring the engagement, but was suppressed by Jia Jing.

Seeing that May [-]th, the Ning Mansion is going to make an engagement with the Yu family.

The night before, Yang Qing'er from the Yang family suddenly surrendered in Ningfu.

Only then did the couple know that Jia Zhen and Yang Qing'er had an affair, and it was already a secret knot.

Jia Zhen was stubborn, and she agreed, and put her arms around Yang Qing'er and said that she would not marry if she was right or wrong!

The Yu family knew about this matter.

The Yu family was also stubborn, Jia Jing came to explain, but the Yu family directly closed the door and closed the house to stop them.

General Yu said that in view of the friendship between the two families, he would not go to the government to reason, nor would he publicize the dirty things of the Ningfu.

However, General Yu and Jia Jing broke off justice by cutting off their robes.

Jia Jing was so angry that he was half dead, and then beat Jia Zhen half to death, but he firmly refused to allow Jia Zhen to marry Yang Qing'er.Said that the Yu family could not succeed, and would rather marry Xiaojia Biyu than marry someone who has lost morals and conduct.

The old lady of the Yang family brought Yang Qing'er to the house every day to make trouble.

Yang's has become a grinding core.

People on both sides scolded Yang.

The old lady scolded her for denying her relatives.

Jia Jing scolded Mrs. Yang for not inviting the old lady to watch the house, and said that Mrs. Yang was disrespectful, and she was just like a pimp.

Mrs. Yang let her 17-year-old nephew eat and sit with her 15-year-old niece!

Yang was tortured until exhausted and fell ill.

The old lady Yang became more and more noisy, and Yang Qing'er's stomach could hardly be concealed.

If you don't get married again, you can only die.

Because old lady Yang was complained by her son and daughter-in-law, she angrily led Yang Qing'er to eat in Ningfu.

It's August.

Ning Fu had no choice but to agree to the marriage.

Such a nasty marriage had to be held in a big way. Friends who grew up playing with mud broke up with him, and his colleagues looked at him with ridicule.There is also a side branch of Jia Huang and his son in the middle.

Jia Jing didn't even know how to meet each other.

Jia Jing is really difficult to be a human being inside and out.

Angry and angry, also fell ill.

Shi Mei finally understood that the natal family of Youshi's stepmother appeared repeatedly in the book, and Jia Rong's stepmother also had a name.

Only Jia Zhen and Jia Rong never mentioned their uncle's family.

It turned out to be such a bad relative, so I really don't want to mention it!

A few days ago, Shi Mei thought that the Yang family was stronger than the Shi family, but now they are all corrupted by this old lady.

In the future, if you want to get married and meet someone surnamed Yang, you really have to go far away.

Shi Mei thought for a while, although it is not appropriate to show the family's dirty work.However, as for the young mistress Zhang, one cannot hide it, lest she go out to socialize in the future and say something wrong without knowing the clue.

Shi Mei said: "Go and call your eldest young mistress."

Mrs. Zhang was also very surprised by the marriage change in the Ning Mansion: "From now on, I'm afraid that the marriage of the brothers in the Ning Mansion will be low."

Shi Mei instantly understood what Zhang was implying, and had a new understanding of ancient marriage contracts.

People with status will not marry such dishonest people.

She also disdains having such a disreputable in-law as Yang Qing'er.

A wealthy family can tolerate concubines to have children, but they are unwilling to accept children born to adulterers!

Jia Jing's anger is also here.

From now on, decent families in Kyoto will refuse to marry with Ningfu.

The in-laws in the Ning Mansion will go lower and lower.

Shi Mei somewhat understood why Jia Zhen married Qin Keqing, an orphan, for Jia Rong.Since you can't pick your family, then pick top talents!

Shi Mei nodded: "If a person doesn't cultivate his personal virtues, how can he say anything else?"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "Daughter-in-law would like to follow her mother-in-law's teachings, and she must strictly teach Lian'er Cong'er, so that they can become the pillars of the family like the father-in-law."

Shi Mei was speechless: ...

People generally say that teaching a son to be as upright as his father is.

Is Mrs. Zhang blatantly looking down on her husband?

In other words, does this mean that she dislikes her mother-in-law for not teaching her well?

Mrs. Zhang responded to every mother-in-law for a long time, and then realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, blushed immediately, and said, "Mother-in-law, isn't your daughter-in-law..."

Shi Mei waved her hand: "I understand that Zhang's family is full of beautiful children. The eldest is not as good as many! However, Xi'er is working hard, and given time, there will be improvement. You have inherited the court training from a young age, and you are well-versed in books and principles. You should stand by and help him a lot."

"Daughter-in-law remembered!"

Mrs. Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and layers of sweat oozed from her forehead.

She is living so comfortably in Kyoto alone, and she is a little defenseless when she speaks.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law is now calm and willing to reason.

In the past, Jiamu's strong temper, the cats and dogs in front of her are not to be disliked.

Is it okay to dislike her son?

She can beat, scold, and belittle her son herself, but others can't even look down upon him!

Mrs. Zhang bid farewell as if she had received an amnesty.

Jia Min came in with a smile.

She sat down next to Shi Mei, looking at Shi Mei with crooked eyebrows.

Shi Mei was very uncomfortable being stared at by her: "What's the matter, is there something wrong on my face?"

Jia Min wrinkled her nose: "I found that my mother's attitude towards the eldest sister-in-law is much better now, but is it different from the attitude towards the second sister-in-law?"

Shi Mei smiled. Shi Mei hadn't told Jia Min seriously about the private lawsuit between Wang Shi and Zhang Shi before.

Jia Min may know some, but not all.

Thinking that she was going to get married soon, the wife of the Lin family was not a good match, and the cousin girl also went to the capital to join the Lin family, saying that she wanted to find a good marriage for the girl, but she didn't know what her plan was.

Shi Mei felt that it was necessary to let Jia Min know the secrets of the back house and the viciousness of people's hearts.

"What's so strange about this? As the saying goes, if you don't know what you're doing, you can't gain wisdom. Your father left, and the attitude of the court colleagues towards the Rongfu changed in an instant.

Our Rongfu fell like a cloud.

The standing position has changed, and many things have a new perspective.

For example, your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, I used to think that Wang's words were crisp, generous, and sweet.

Your eldest sister-in-law married your elder brother, don't be awkward, she only talks a little bit, likes to put on airs, and let me, a mother-in-law, guess her mind.

Besides, your elder brother has always been awkward with me since he was a child, and he refused to say a good word, but your second brother is always considerate, he thinks it is good to eat a snack outside, and he will bring it back to me.

Your mother and I are not saints either!

Naturally, I prefer your two elder brothers!

However, since your father passed away, Wang's selfishness has been fully exposed. She wants to move into Rongxi Hall before your father is buried?In order for me to expel your elder brother, use me as a gunman, and instigate some bloody disasters, let me force your sister-in-law to have an abortion.

If I listen to her instigation, will your sister-in-law survive?

The Zhang family, your elder brother, why don't you hate me to death?

I was bound to a desperate situation, so I could only rely on her more, favor her, and protect her!

In this way, my reputation will be ruined, your eldest brother's family will be ruined, and she will only take advantage of it.

How scary do you think this Wang family is?

After all these things, can I still be close to her? "

Jia Min grabbed Shi Mei's arm and trembled: "Mother, when did this happen? Why haven't I heard anything about it?"

Shi Mei was surprised, it seems that Nanny Lai is really good at managing the portal.

Shi Mei patted Jia Min: "At that time you were so ill, how could I upset you with these things? Originally, I didn't want you to worry about these things?

In the past, I thought that your father was a nobleman, and the Rongguo Mansion was in full swing, with great authority, and your mother-in-law would not dare to embarrass you.

Therefore, I just want you to be happy, and I don't want you to know about these secrets.

However, things have changed now.

No matter how reluctant I am, I can't leave you in my mother's house for the rest of my life. You have to set up your own family.I think it is necessary for you to understand the ugly and greedy people of these homesteaders. "

Jia Min sighed: "I never thought that someone as straightforward as Second Sister-in-law would be so vicious? No wonder you treat Zhu'er..."

Shi Mei patted Jia Min on the head: "Zhu'er has nothing to do with his mother. I didn't snatch Jia Zhu from Mrs. Wang before, because I wanted to see how vicious Mrs. Wang is, right? For her own selfishness, she didn't even care about her son's future. If that was the case, she would not be qualified to be a mother!

When your second brother comes back, I will take Zhu'er and Yuan'er to Rongqing Hall to raise them personally.

Unexpectedly, she still had some humanity, and finally put Zhuer's interests first.Give Pearl to my upbringing again, and I won't be able to take away her custody again.

However, even so, when Zhu'er is formally enlightened and the civil and military school teacher enters the door, I will let Zhu'er move to the front yard, so as to minimize the bad influence of the Wang family.

The Wang family was born as a knife and pen official, and later made a fortune by sailing.His wrist and mind can be seen!

They have a bit of banditry and a bit of evil in their bones.

This kind of person acts recklessly, and his relatives will deny him! "

Jia Min nodded: "This kind of person is not easy to provoke, the brothers will definitely not be able to fight against the Wang family, it is best not to make enemies with them!"

Shi Mei smiled: "That's natural. Don't worry too much. Right now, the four major families have the same interests. No matter how powerful Wang Ziteng is, he doesn't dare to go too far. As long as I don't let go, he won't be able to reach into the Rongguo Mansion. The key is that your two elder brothers must stand up.

Your father likes Uncle Lin because he likes his literary talents, and wants him to support the transformation of Rongfu into Qinggui.

However, if your two elder brothers are useless, no matter how capable your son-in-law is! "

Jia Min blushed, and shook Shi Mei's arm and said, "Why is it useless? Brother Lin said that if nephews want to hire a tutor, he can recommend it. I think it's feasible. Let's I don’t know the characters of these candidates, but Brother Lin is very familiar with them. I can recommend two well-behaved and well-learned tutors for Zhu’er and Lian’er!”

Shi Mei was surprised: "Two? You only have two nephews, why do you need two tutors?"

Jia Min stretched out a finger: "Is one always needed?"

Shi Mei poked Jia Min's forehead with her finger: "Girls are extroverted!"
