old lady in red

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng entered the Rongqing Hall with chills all over their body.

Shi Mei knew at a glance that the two returned to Jinling and came to see Shi Mei directly.

Shi Mei still admires how the ancients did a good job of respecting the elderly, even if it was to save face.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng were in high spirits, and they were in high spirits while saluting, as if they had many happy events to share with Shi Mei.

After coming back from a long distance, I must be cold, and I happened to be boiling ginger black tea.

Shi Mei ordered the girl to serve tea to the two sons, and said: "Have a cup of tea and then go back to see your wife and children. Come back after washing up. I have something to discuss with you. If you are sleepy, it will be the same when you come back tomorrow."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhengdu said: "My sons are not sleepy. If you have something to say, please tell me."

Shi Mei said: "If you're not sleepy, you have to go back and soak in a hot bath to drive away the cold. Don't get sick after walking such a long way in such a cold day!"

Jia amnesty and Jia Zheng had to agree.

Jia Zhu now followed Jia Zheng like a tail, respectful.

Jia Lian was lucky in this life, his parents were both present, his father was not kicked out of the main house, and her mother was in the middle to mediate. The relationship with his father Jia She belonged to a very normal model of fatherly kindness and filial piety. .

Jia Amnesty was not as upright as Jia Zheng, and her grandmother was not originally a strict person.The way to teach Jia Amnesty is not to teach, but to let him do whatever he wants.

Jia Daishan was not so strict with Jia Amnesty because of his mother's face.

Therefore, Jia Amnesty also teases Jia Lian when he is interested, so Jia Lian has not yet appreciated the power of Yan's father.

Although Jia Lian didn't dare to lie in his arms like his grandmother did to his father, he didn't have Jia Zhu's fear of cats avoiding mice.

When Jia She was talking to Shi Mei, he stared at his father with good eyes.As a result, his father looked back by chance and met him directly.

Jia Lian couldn't dodge in time, and after being taken aback for a moment, he immediately smiled.

At this time, Jia Amnesty was ordered to go home to freshen up, so he stretched out his hand to hold Jia Lian.

This era pays attention to holding grandchildren but not sons, strict fathers and loving mothers.

Jia Amnesty's gesture of holding hands is already the image of a loving father.

"What are you laughing at?"

Jia Lian raised her head, her eyes full of expectation: "Grandmother said, Daddy sold a lot of ponies?"

Jia She nodded: "Yes, what do you want? Didn't your grandmother give you a filly?"

Jia Lian frowned: "Grandmother gave me a peach blossom horse. Jinshan said that the peach blossom horse is a girl's mount. It is short in stature and manly. It is majestic to ride a tall horse like Juhuaqing!"

Jia She smiled: "Douding is a big man, is he still a man? You are a man, where should I go?"

Jia Lian was choked up by his father: Yes, he is a man, what is his father's name?

Big husband ah?

Haven't heard of it?

Jia Lian rubbed the back of her head, feeling annoyed: Oh, it's a pity that the husband went home on vacation.When Mr. Minger comes back, I must ask you this question carefully!

Jia Lian is so clever, so that no one will know that he has little knowledge!

He giggled: "Father, Cong'er knows how to recognize people. In the past, he could only be called grandma, but my son taught him every day. Now he can call mother and brother."

Jia She was very happy at first, but when he heard this, he immediately snorted: "Didn't you teach your younger brother to call you Daddy?"

Jia Lian frowned and said: "My son has taught me, but Cong'er just can't learn it. I taught my father clearly, but he kept talking. I taught him to say father, but he just drooled and stopped talking. My brother doesn't know why. Stupid, my son really can't do anything..."

In fact, Jia Cong doesn't know how to call his mother either. His tongue seems to be inflexible. His mother calls him Mumu, his elder brother quacks, and his aunt Dudu.

Shi Mei had no choice but to recognize the word grandma.It is not wrong to say that grandma is grandmother.

In fact, Jia Lian knew that his younger brother Jia Cong called grandma Shunliu only because he wanted to breastfeed all day long.

However, Jia Lian will not expose him, so as not to embarrass his brother too much!

But it is said that Jia Zhu followed his father back to the west courtyard of the second room.

Originally, he thought that when his father returned from far away today, his father must have something to say to his mother, so he could sneak back to his grandmother's main courtyard by the way.

As a result, his father did not want his mother to accompany him in the bath, but let him recite the book beside him.

Moreover, if Jia Zhu made a wrong word, he would be severely reprimanded by his father.

Jia Zhu had memorized the Three Character Classic by heart and could write silently, but she actually recited it wrong.

Therefore, the father was furious.

Then, regardless of his mother's persuasion, his father stormed to Rongqing hall in anger.

Jia Zhu looked at her father and junior, wanting to cry but not crying.

Now, not only can he not go to Rongqing Hall to hide from the disaster, but he also has to stay to bear his mother's anger.

His mother's proudest home was that he was praised by his father, and he was unlucky to come home today.

Jia Zhu even vaguely realized that as soon as his father came home, his life would be very difficult.

When Jia Zhu was in a daze, he heard his mother scolding: "Zhu'er, what's the matter with you, don't you memorize all the hundred surnames, thousand-character scripts, and three-character scriptures by heart, why did you become like this when you saw your father?" ? I wrote a letter to your father and praised you like a flower, but now you recite it wrongly. Your father must think that I am lying. Are you deliberately trying to keep me from stepping down?"

Jia Zhu was panicked by his mother's hungry wolf-like stare, but bowed respectfully: "It's the son's fault for the mother to calm down..."

Jia Amnesty was still bored with his wife and children at home, so Jia Zheng went back to Rongqing Hall in a turbulent mood.

When Shi Mei asked about the apprenticeship, Jia Zheng was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

How does Mr. Zhang guide him in writing, how to add a word to his ordinary article, and modify a few sentences, so that it becomes amazing.

Shi Mei is actually not interested, she just needs to know that Jia Zheng has made progress.

She really didn't understand how to modify the article, and she didn't want to hear it.

It was dusk, Jia She and his son Jia Zhu didn't show up, and Jia Zheng didn't intend to leave either.When she found out that Jia Zheng hadn't eaten, Shi Mei ordered the meal to be served.

Because of filial piety and health preservation, Shi Mei's dinner is very light.

Usually there are all kinds of rice porridge, and there are small mahjong-sized steamed buns and flower rolls. Today, there are a few sweet potatoes the size of eggs.

It was Shi Meite's order to cook it for Jia Zheng to try.

Jia Zheng recognized sweet potatoes and said: "Master Zhang is very sorry. He said that this kind of food tastes much better than yam, but unfortunately the yield is not high. Now the land is expensive and cannot be promoted. He also said that our family is not short of money, so we can allocate a lot of money. Two acres of land planted, saying that this kind of thing is a rare thing, I'm afraid it would be decent to give as a gift in Kyoto!"

Shi Mei was stunned, thinking of Liu Yong's bucket of rivers and mountains, her heart suddenly moved, not to mention that droughts, floods, locust disasters and snow disasters come in turn every year during the Great Moon Dynasty.

Hunger has always existed, but it has not reached the point where hunger is everywhere and rises up.

As long as you find out how to increase the yield of sweet potatoes, it will be a good recipe for living people and the beginning of a prosperous age!

It can really be used as a birthday gift for the Longevity Festival!

The Longevity Day of Emperor Jiahe is on June 28.

If Emperor Jiahe had the heart, he would be able to inspect it immediately.

If the emperor is wise, he will see the value of sweet potatoes.

Perhaps within two years, the Great Moon Dynasty will be able to promote planting on a large scale.

Shi Mei suddenly became bright!

However, Jia Zheng only liked to make fuss, and he only focused on the imperial examination in his heart. If Shi Mei asked anything else, Jia Zheng would be stupid and useless.

All I know is that Mr. Zhang has been a clerk in Yuguan, which is equivalent to the shogunate of the general's mansion, and he specially drafts various correspondence for the accompanying general.

Mr. Zhang's two sons are nominally doing odd jobs in the Military Supplies Department of the General's Mansion.But no specific errands were arranged, which belonged to the kind of dispatch after listening at any time.

In fact, the eldest son of the Zhang family is basically the long-term follower of the Major General in the General's Mansion, handling the documents and letters for the Major General.

The second son of the Zhang family worked as a school teacher in the general's mansion, and asked the general's two grandsons to study.

The whole family is well respected.

Also, the Wu family at Heishantou provided four-season vegetables, rice and grain, and with the rewards from the general's mansion, the Zhang family did not have to worry about food and clothing, and did not suffer at all.

Shi Mei knew that Jia Zheng was going to be an official, so she had to ask someone to teach her to be at ease.

Otherwise, still go to the Ministry of Industry to repair bridges and roads.

It's not bad to be a Shanzi Jia if you stand out from the crowd!

Jia Zheng yawned profusely, but Jia Amnesty hadn't shown up yet.

Shi Mei thought that Jia Amnesty would not come back, so she also dismissed Jia Zheng: "Go back and rest too. We will talk about it tomorrow."

Then, Nanny Lai came back with a sheepskin lantern, but said: "Second Master went to the study in the front yard and asked Zhao Guoji to pick up Young Master Zhu'er."

Shi Meiyin asked: "Master also went to the front yard?"

At this time, he should have had dinner early, but he didn't show up at this time, so he probably took a rest.

Shi Mei thought in her heart that Jia She was afraid that the estrangement towards her mother had not disappeared in the end.

Nanny Lai said softly: "This servant thinks the same way, I'm afraid the uncle is tired..."

Nanny Lai avoided Shi Mei's eyes, embarrassed to say it, feeling sorry for Grandma.

The eldest grandma is beautiful and beautiful, and she is kind.

Jia She is domineering and domineering, if he gets bored, no one can stop him.

It's okay to be pregnant in the last meeting, but if I come again this time, I'm afraid...

Shi Mei was also bored, the son of a bastard was her own, who could be blamed?

Really, what, you must not be soft-hearted and leave a handle.

Shi Mei thought that Jia Amnesty would not come back, so she asked Jia Min to go back to rest, and then told Nanny Lai: "Prepare hot water, I will scald my feet, and I have no activity in the cold weather, my muscles and bones are lazy."

At this moment, Jia Amnesty tidied up and came to Rongqing Hall.

Both Shi Mei and the old nanny were stunned.

They actually have a villainous heart?

Jia Amnesty came in here and saw Shi Mei scalding her feet, and Nanny Lai was carrying the copper pot to add water.

He was also taken aback for a moment, then, Jia Amnesty walked a few steps and arrived in front of Shi Mei.

Shi Mei thought that Jia She was paying her respects, so she waved her hand and said, "That's all..."

He was going to tell him to go back and rest, and the mother and son would talk tomorrow.

Shi Mei didn't think it was inappropriate for her son to see her washing her feet.

Jia Amnesty was stunned for a moment.

Although they are mother and son, mother and son are not close.When Jia She was very young, every time he met his mother, he always sat upright, and her mother cleaned up meticulously and beautifully.

Mother and son treat each other with courtesy, or ask and answer politely.Or listen to mother scolding.

Never encountered such a scene.

After being dazed for a moment, Jia She suddenly lowered his body and half knelt on the ground: "Son, let's pinch mother's feet. My son has learned the technique of pressing acupuncture points in the army. It can relax muscles, activate blood circulation, and relieve fatigue. My father said it is very useful." .”

Nanny Shimeilai was petrified at the same time: Is this person Jia She (uncle)?

When Shi Mei was surprised, Jia She had already grabbed her ankle.

Only then did Shi Mei wake up with a start, hurriedly retracted her feet, and said with a dry smile, "No need, I've already ironed it..."

Shi Mei moved very nimbly, she put on her shoes and socks twice, and let Madam Lai wait on her, washing her hands with foreign soap.

Then he turned around and greeted Jia She, "Come and sit down."

But Jia She didn't move, looked at Shi Mei, and said in a deep voice, "Mother, my son used to be ignorant, if you feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable, you can just scold him..."

In the past, every now and then, my mother would find trouble and make sarcastic remarks.

At that time, Jia She hoped that his mother would treat him with gentle wind and light rain that day.

Now that my mother hasn't scolded her for a long time, Mrs. Zhang even praises her mother over and over again, saying how well-planned and fair she is.He is impartial to her and the Wang family, and even more affectionate to Jia Lian than to Jia Zhu.

He also told about how Shimei dealt with the Wang family.

The mother actually did not pretend to speak to the Wang family?

Once upon a time, the mother admired the Wang family so much and respected Wang Ziteng like a god, wishing to exchange her son for Wang Ziteng.

I also wish that only Jia Zheng's son would be good!

Now he is so open-minded and wise, and everything is fair.

Jia Amnesty felt that her mother had changed her head, and always felt that this mother had become a little unreal.

My father-in-law also said that being a mother is not easy.He also said that his mother was smart and capable, with far-reaching plans.

It is their brother's blessing to have such a mother on the stall!

Shi Mei knew that Jia She was overwhelmed, and hurriedly said, "What is this? Why should I scold you for no reason? How can a calf not reach its mother? Even if you are cruel and unreasonable, how can I, as a mother, still talk to my son?" Can't hold a grudge?"

Jia She was very excited when he heard the words, and was at a loss for what to do. He rubbed his hands and said, "Mother is magnanimous, and my son is getting more and more ashamed. My son promises that I will never do it again. If my son is not filial again, I will call God to beat me..."

Shi Mei spat: "Stop it, you're talking about horse racing again, aren't you?

Why do you swear and swear?

I believe you are filial piety!

I'm not young and strong, where is the time to ask someone to help wash my feet?When I wait for the day when I am too old to bend down and walk, I will ask you to carry me to the sun every day, and ask you to wash my feet for me. If you are not filial to me, I will scold you for being unfilial every day! "

Jia She hurriedly said: "My son must be filial to you, and my son must carry you to bask in the sun every day!"

In order to ease the atmosphere, Shi Mei hurriedly teased Madam Lai: "Mama Lai wrote it down for me. If your uncle doesn't honor it when the time comes, you have to testify to me!"

Nanny Lai was busy making fun of it: "Ma'am, you are joking, uncle is always filial, but uncle refuses to say it, and you are also busy, so you didn't notice it!"

Jia She blushed, and thanked Mammy Lai, "Thank you Mama Lai for your praise, Jia She is very ashamed!"

Jia Amnesty knew that he had prejudiced against his mother in the past and was not filial.

Not anymore!
