old lady in red

Shi Mei frowned and supported her forehead, thinking about how to resolve the current crisis.

Suddenly someone called: "Mrs... madam?"

Shi Mei turned her head in surprise, but it was Zhang and Wang who saw Shi Mei scratching her ears and cheeks, so they asked.

Only then did Shi Mei wake up, and there were two daughters-in-law beside her.

Shi Mei patted her head, she would always forget that she had already done her mother-in-law's work, she had to adapt as soon as possible.

She looked up at Mrs. Zhang.Zhang's oval face, although haggard and pale, could hardly hide her beauty.

Mrs. Zhang seemed to be very afraid of Jia Mu. When Shi Mei saw her, she became nervous and covered her abdomen with her hands involuntarily.

Shi Mei didn't understand, so she didn't go into it, and ordered: "I didn't hide what I said today from you, but I hope you don't talk nonsense when you go out. You both come from famous families, so you should understand the relationship, right?"

Mrs. Zhang seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly saluted: "My wife ordered, daughter-in-law, please remember!"

She had a very submissive attitude, her eyebrows were lowered, but Shi Mei could feel the alienation between her limbs and Shi Mei.

Mrs. Wang also agreed, but her voice was much more intimate than Mrs. Zhang's.

Wang's words are also very decent: "Madam, don't worry too much. It may be a rumor. The daughter-in-law will send a letter to her brother when she goes back, and ask him to help inquire secretly. Madam, you can rest assured that you will die. They all have wives!"

Sending away the two daughter-in-laws, Shi Mei wondered, why is Mrs. Zhang trembling?

Shi Mei guessed that there must be something going on.

However, Shi Mei has no memory of this crop.

Shi Mei sighed, "If you fight against the outside world, you must settle inside first."

If she can't even handle her son and daughter-in-law, how can she fight wits and courage with outsiders to fight for greater benefits?

Yin asked Nanny Lai: "What's wrong with Grandma? Why do I feel that she shrinks her hands when she sees me? I don't seem to care about her? Do you know the reason?"

The mandarin duck was at the side, but when he heard this, he hurriedly coughed: "My maidservant, go and see, why hasn't the breakfast been delivered for half a day, don't fat sister-in-law just play around again!"

Nanny Lai's face was a little embarrassed: "This, that, um..."

Nanny Lai seemed a little embarrassed.

Shi Mei was surprised: "Is there anything hard to say?"

Nanny Lai waved her hand: "How could this be? Probably the last time you scolded the uncle for having no father-in-law in his heart, the father-in-law was sick, and he only knew how to mess around, and it's nothing more than messing around, and he still wanted to put on a cover...

The eldest grandma probably heard about it, and since then everyone who has seen us feels a little uncomfortable. "

The nonsense brought out the cover?

Shi Mei doesn't understand the thinking of ancient people.

However, Madam Lai's words seemed to mean something.

The mother-in-law scolded her son, but the daughter-in-law felt uncomfortable. She must have had something to do with Jia She's messing around, otherwise, the mother-in-law was responsible for the son's bad behavior. What did it have to do with her as a daughter-in-law, and it wasn't her son who made mistakes?

Suddenly, Shi Mei thought of a possibility, could it be that Jia's mother could not understand Zhang's pregnancy when Jia Daishan was seriously ill?Thinking that the son and daughter-in-law are heartless, and the father-in-law is seriously ill, they are still only interested in having fun?

Thinking of this, Shi Mei felt that she had figured out why Jia She and Mrs. Zhang were not well received by Jia's mother.

Jia's mother should have a very good relationship with Jia Daishan's husband and wife, which can be seen from the fact that she will cry when she talks about Jia Daishan later.

Therefore, I can't bear the sight of my son and daughter-in-law getting pregnant while their father is seriously ill.

I feel that the son and daughter-in-law don't care about their father.

If Jia Daishan passes through this hurdle safely, maybe this matter will not be a problem.

However, Jia Daishan did not survive.

This matter became Jia's mother's knot.

Shi Mei could even guess that Zhang's death was probably related to this child.

Jia Daishan has already ordered to stay for 35 days.

A pregnant woman will definitely suffer a lot if she survives like this.

Then, Jia Daishan will be sent back to his hometown Jinling for burial in a hundred days.

If Mother Jia insisted that Mrs. Zhang accompany her, Mrs. Zhang would lose her skin if she did not die.If you get through this time, you won't be able to survive the next time.

Shi Mei understood Jia's mother somewhat, and also sympathized with Zhang's.

It is not wrong for Jia's mother to love her husband.

In fact, Mrs. Zhang did nothing wrong.

Jia She is so generous, what is he going to do, can Mrs. Zhang stop him?

And they probably didn't know that Jia Daishan's strong body would not make it through.

After all, Jia Daishan was not dead at that time. The young couple in their twenties were sleeping on the same bed and covered by a quilt.

There is nothing wrong with this in modern times.

In fact, in this era, they are not pregnant during the filial piety, which is harmless.At most, people say that they are heartless.

However, Mother Jia couldn't make it through.

Shi Mei looked at Nanny Lai: "A pretense? A child?"

Nanny Lai nodded: "Ma'am, you have stared at Grandma's belly several times. It is said that Grandma cried behind her back several times, afraid of you, afraid of you..."

Shi Mei frowned: "What are you afraid of? Just say what you have to say, why are you hesitating?"

Nanny Lai said: "Generally, some people will choose to get rid of this kind of thing..."

Shi Mei snorted: "Bullshit, why did you kill a good child? It's not a filial pregnancy."

Nanny Lai seemed to be relieved: "That's true. I said that the wife is only angry for a while, and she will figure it out after a long time. The wife can treat even the aunt and wife kindly, let alone my daughter-in-law and grandson of the first-in-law!"

Shi Mei nodded, and the moment she picked up the rice bowl, she suddenly felt blessed. She pointed to the green vegetable porridge and said, "This porridge is good, fragrant and delicious. Take some to your grandma and tell her to have a safe pregnancy. Eat and drink well. Don't wrong me." grandson!"

Grandma Lai promised to do it.

Yuanyang rushed to say: "Mama has worked hard these few days, slaves go."

Shi Mei doesn't care, whoever goes represents her heart.

But Mother Lai sighed after Yuanyang left: "This girl still refuses to accept her fate. There is nothing wrong with the Qian family. Although it is a slave family, Qian Da followed the Duke of the State since he was a child, and later served as a teacher in the army. The family has a little brother After giving birth, she will be the daughter-in-law of the family when she goes, so why bother to squeeze your head out and sit on the bench?"

Does this mean that Yuanyang girl has something to do with the big house Jia She and his wife?

Shi Mei was secretly surprised, and asked, "What's wrong with the mandarin duck?"

Nanny Lai sighed: "When the father-in-law hadn't had an accident, didn't the wife say that he would let him go? Yuanyang's mother begged his wife to say that she wanted to take Yuanyang back to marry him, and the object was Qian Da's youngest son, Qian Shun. It's just that Yuanyang This girl has a big heart..."

The so-called big-hearted girls mean that they don't want to marry a slave to be the steward's daughter-in-law, but want to curry favor with the master as a concubine.

The mandarin duck girl is indeed good-looking.

It seems that in the feudal era, mother-in-laws really had the habit of letting people into their daughter-in-law's rooms.

Shi Mei hated this deeply: "The cold bench is to say that the mandarin ducks have wishful thinking?"

Nanny Lai nodded: "Didn't the old man often come to visit when the old man was sick? You were worried that the old man didn't pay attention. The mandarin duck girl was very attentive to the old man. She would send it to the hall every time, and she also asked me to talk about it." That's all for the first half of the day."

Shi Mei didn't know whether this mandarin duck was bought from outside or was born at home, if it was bought from outside, she would just release it and let her marry herself.

If it is a bit troublesome to have a child, the child is like a vine in a meritorious family, pulling the whole body.

Be careful about this.

You can't be like Wang, who is forced to jump into the well after a mouthful.

It's irritating for a girl Huai Chun to be on the head of a pillar, but she can't waste human life in vain.

Shi Mei probed, "Yuanyang's real name?"

Nanny Lai hurriedly said: "Zhao! Her grandfather also came out of Jinling with the old man. His mother is now in the wife's laundry room, and her father is working in the carriage and horse stables, specially serving the young masters when they go out."

Shi Mei was a little excited immediately, her surname is Zhao, could it be Aunt Zhao?

But isn't Aunt Zhao Jia Zheng's concubine?

And she gave birth to Tanchun for the first time, and it was still early for Tanchun to be born.

At this moment, she should still be a little girl.

Shi Mei was suddenly very curious: "I remember that the Zhao family seems to have more than one mandarin duck?"

Nanny Lai said: "My wife has a good memory. That's right. There are four Yuanyang sisters. The eldest is a boy. He is 14 this year. He will follow the second master as a long-term follower. The second mandarin duck is going to be 11 this year. There are two younger sisters under his feet. The eldest sister is [-] years old and is the second-class girl in the house of the fourth girl. The fourth girl gave her the name Xiaoque. The younger sister is only [-] years old this year. She begged the Tai Dian the year before last and was also a little girl in the house of the second master. There are many girls in the Zhao family , and no name, the second master gave her the name Si'er when he knew she was doing four."

Shi Mei almost sprayed tea: Sier?

If she hadn't confirmed that it was the World of Red Mansions, she would have thought it was Qing Chuan.

Zhao Si'er?

Shi Mei really spouted tea this time: Si'er is really amazing, each of them has the kung fu to make men dizzy and transform.

Shi Mei suppressed her smile and patted her forehead to calm herself down. This is not going to work, she can't believe in such unrestrained associations, she has business to do.

Shi Mei felt that the connection between Yuanyang and Jia She must be severed immediately.

Yuanyang is Jia's mother's personal maid. After May [-]th, when Jia Daishan went to the funeral, the mother and son had to go to the family temple to observe mourning for a hundred days before returning home.

Jia Amnesty is not allowed to come to pay his respects. If the two have a relationship, not to mention the filial piety, Jia Amnesty's reputation will be stigmatized, and Jia's mother is also right.

Shi Mei said: "Oh, my memory is really not as good as before, so where does the Qian family work?"

Nanny Lai said: "Their family is in the suburbs of Beijing to take care of Zhuangzi, the wife's dowry."

Shi Mei immediately said: "Okay, you should remember this. After May [-]th, we will arrange Yuanyang's family to work in the farm, so that it is convenient for them to marry."

Nanny Lai was shocked: "Ma'am, the marriage between slaves and servants has to wait for the master's filial piety to pass..."

Shi Mei waved her hand in disbelief: "I valued her at first, but since she had a heart, it would be inconvenient to leave her behind. In order to avoid embarrassment for everyone, it is better to take precautions earlier. The father-in-law offended this time. There are quite a few people who are waiting to catch the Rong Mansion. During the filial piety period, nothing will happen! You also know that your uncle's temperament is really hard to make people feel at ease!"

Mammy Lai immediately became solemn when she heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Your maidservant, remember that before this, this servant will always keep an eye on her, so as not to ask her to cause trouble for my wife!"
