old lady in red

Yang was a little sad, but she knew that now that Jia Zhen was not at home, Jia Rong relied on her to take care of her, so she didn't dare to feel sad anymore.

After Shi Mei found out about Jia Min's visit, she felt that the situation was fine, so she urged the Zhangs to go back and rest: "Morrow, take a good rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow is going back to the door for a banquet. When the family will meet, everyone in the family will go to the mansion. It's going to be a busy day."

Mrs. Zhang agreed.

Shi Mei suddenly remembered something: "Did you ask for Ping'an pulse recently?"

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback: "Daughter-in-law is not uncomfortable at all..."

Immediately, Mrs. Zhang understood. It is estimated that her mother-in-law found out that she had a stomachache and vomited several times of clear water a few days ago.

After Mrs. Zhang said goodbye, she was still very beautiful in her heart.

Shi Mei frowned.

Yingchun is eight years younger than Yuanchun. Does she insist on going the old way?

Can't the poor girl get out of her stomach instead?

Although Yingchun is a concubine right now, it doesn't matter, I won't make her weak and incompetent.

However, if she chooses, Shi Mei still hopes that Jia She's children will come from the Zhang family.

In addition to blood, there are also human connections.

The daughter-in-law of the Hou's mansion can marry the young father-in-law.

For a concubine, she can only marry a new rich man, and this has to be supported by the Rong family.

Otherwise, once the natal family is weak, the husband's family will dare to turn their backs.

There are many silent ways to make a woman disappear in the back house.

In this era, the power of the family can sometimes override the law, and the real noble family, the honorable family will not marry a concubine daughter as the mistress.

That night, Shi Mei tossed and turned again, unable to sleep, and meditated all night.

Fortunately, the effect of Shi Mei's meditation is similar to that of sleep.

At exactly the right time, Shimei received her merits.

Shi Mei let go of her six senses and realized that Mrs. Zhang had woken up, as did Jia Zhu, Jia Lian and Jia Cong Yuanchun.

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian fought a round of boxing in the courtyard, and practiced a round of swordsmanship, sweating profusely from practicing.

Only then did I wash up, and after that, I started my morning reading.

At the first moment of the hour, the two finished their morning reading and ate the breakfast presented by the girl.

Chenzheng, go to the private school for class.

Wang Yao did not participate in the morning exercise, but only participated in the morning reading.

Looking at Yuanchun again, he also had breakfast, and the girl carried the bookcase and walked through the moon arch to the main courtyard of Rongqing Hall.

Soon, Shi Mei heard Yuan Chun's voice: "Hi Mammy, I'm here to say hello to grandma."

Nanny Lai walked out lightly: "Hi, Miss, my wife had insomnia last night, and I haven't fallen asleep yet..."

Yuan Chun said: "So, I'll take my leave and come to see grandma after school at noon."

Then, Shi Mei looked at Jia Cong again.

Jia Cong got up late, finished grooming in a hurry, grabbed the meat buns in his hand and ran while eating: "Mother, hurry up, sir will reprimand you for being late."

Mr. Li was not that strict with Jia Cong, he never slapped his palms, it was just to frighten Jia Cong, after all Jia Cong was still young.

This kid is smart, and Mr. Li also has a young son of the same age, so he is very lenient to Jia Cong.

However, Jia Cong is still afraid because he has seen Mr. Li punish others.

Jia Gui and Jia Wei's palms were swollen.

The reason is that Jia Lian made a few mistakes in endorsement.

Seeing Jia Cong blame Coke, Shi Mei smiled knowingly.Finally got off to a happy start to the day.

Shi Mei coughed here, and Nanny Lai pushed open the door as accurately as an alarm clock, with two girls carrying hot water behind her.

Nanny Lai wanted to ask Shi Mei if she hadn't slept all night, if she wanted to sleep for a while, but she found that Shi Mei's face was flushed and she was vigilant.

Nanny Lai smiled: "I thought Madam didn't sleep well yesterday."

Shi Mei said: "It's because of tossing and turning, I fell asleep after midnight, I guess I'm tired, after I fall asleep, I will fall asleep."

No matter when you fall asleep, as long as you sleep well, you will be fine.

This is the consensus of all.

Shi Mei was not afraid that Nanny Lai would know her secret, but it was difficult for her to explain this secret herself.

It was also difficult to explain clearly to Nanny Lai, so I simply didn't talk about it.

Who doesn't have any secrets yet.

Nanny Lai actually noticed some changes in Shi Mei, her skin became fairer and smoother.

However, Nanny Lai has been with Jia Mu since she was a child, so she never guessed that Jia Mu was taken away by others, but guessed whether Jia Mu got rid of the inner house disputes and lived at ease because of Jia Daishan's death.

Now that there are many happy events in the family, people become young.

Before Jia Daishan fell ill, Jia's mother had been paying attention to health preservation, and her skin was well maintained.

The collapse of the face also started when Jia Daishan was injured. Internal and external troubles caused Jia Mu's skin to be dull, with bags under the eyes a little slack, often dark circles, and thick powder can't cover it.

Today's Jia Mu is thinner than the Jia Mu who took good care of her back then, with a smaller face and a thinner waist.

The most outstanding thing is that Jiamu's eyes are black and bright, as if she has returned to when she was seventeen or eighteen years old.

It's not too late for Shi Mei to come here.

If the red building is turned on, Shi Mei will probably paint herself with age spots every day.

Because there was a happy event in the Rong Mansion today, Mr. Li and Mr. Shu only had one hour of class, so the children were dismissed from school.

And, agreed to have a day off the next day.

Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Cong and Yuan Chun all went to Rongqing Hall after school.

The four of them murmured together and discussed what kind of gift to give aunt tomorrow.

Finally, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian decided to write a hymn to her aunt.

Yuan Chun and Jia Cong had just learned the Disciple Rules, the Three Character Classic, and the Hundred Family Surnames.

It was only in Yuanchun that he came into contact with Qianjia poetry.

The two pouted, they wouldn't.

Shi Mei said: "It doesn't matter, there are a lot of lotus flowers. Tomorrow you get up early to pick the lotus flowers, and when you come back, give your aunt the hibiscus cake to eat with your own hands. Your aunt will definitely like it."

Jia Cong immediately raised his hands and jumped up: "Sister is seasick, I will go and I will go, I will take a boat and slide to the middle, pick the reddest and reddest flower buds to make hibiscus cake for my aunt."

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian hurriedly surrounded Shi Mei: "Grandma, we also want to participate in making lotus cakes."

Shi Mei said: "No, since you are in school, you should compose poems. Your aunt must be more happy to receive a poem written by her nephew than to compose a good poem herself.

Your uncle is a master of poetry, Tanhualang who has been praised by His Majesty, you will have the opportunity to ask Tanhualang for advice tomorrow.

Do you know a saying that everyone who talks and laughs is a Confucian?

This is not an opportunity for everyone. "

Jia Zhu was fascinated immediately, and it has always been the dream of scholars to be the No. [-] pick in the top three.

Jia Lian didn't study as well as Jia Zhu, but he also had a lot of experience. Hearing this, he felt that tomorrow would be a chance to show his face.

What an honor to show off in front of my father, my uncle, my uncle, and so many relatives and friends?

This thought made the four brothers and sisters happy.

Only then did Shi Mei laugh and said, "Well, tomorrow I'm going to dig fresh lotus root to make your aunt's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root slices. It would be best to make an osmanthus lotus root cake."

Jia Lian hurriedly patted her chest: "Go grandson, it just so happens that the water is not cold at the moment, so let's dig lotus roots now."

Shi Mei nodded: "I'll go with you."

Cuiwei Shanshui introduced the lotus pond, but there is still a difference in the shade of the area covered by the aura.

Shi Mei knew which piece of lotus root was the most tender.

Today's lotus root is not a spiritual plant, but it is no longer the same as ordinary lotus root.

Shi Mei dug the lotus root for Jia Min, and also for Jia Zhu and Jia Lian to eat the lotus root with aura, so as to increase the speed of their cultivation.

Then, the mansion finally saw Shi Mei change into a plain robe and take Su's granddaughter to Huayuanzi.

Then, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian's eight accompanying readers were alarmed and joined the team of lotus root diggers.

Behind them are the book boys and servants, Yuanchun's nanny and maid, and Rongqingtang's daughter-in-law and maid.Walking to the garden, it has become a team of more than 30 people.

Shi Mei supported her forehead, she never thought it would be like this.

It is not easy to be the top leader, there is no freedom of movement at all.

The lady in charge of the ship here heard the news and had already supported the ship to the shore and waited.

Now that people have come, they cannot rush back.

Today's weather is a little cold for the chest, just right for the putter.

Shimei chooses a direction: "Dig the lotus along this area, and choose the lotus root that has not bloomed."

The lotus root that is in bloom is not as nutritious as the lotus root that has not bloomed.

In previous years, lotus roots were rarely dug in the mansion, and green lotus roots were dug at most to try something new. The purpose of the lotus pond is to appreciate the lotus.The old lotus root has not been dug for many years.

This year, spiritual spring water was introduced, and Shi Mei didn't want to waste it, even though the spiritual energy was very thin.

Shi Mei tried it. This year's lotus picking screen, the lotus can remain unbeaten for half a month, which is three times longer than ordinary lotus.

It is precisely because of this that Shi Mei suspects that the lotus root also has spiritual energy.

When the first section of lotus root was dug out, Nanny Lai broke off a piece and tasted it, and then reported it to Shi Mei: "Madam, this year's lotus root is fresher and tenderer than previous years."

Shimei has a plan here. Since the lotus root really contains aura, the pond will be cleaned up this autumn and the lotus root will be replanted.

At least clear the section where the Lingquan water flows.

A basketful of lotus roots were dug here, Mrs. Zhang also heard the news, and hurriedly brought the girl and mother over: "Oh, mother-in-law, you want to order to dig the lotus roots, why do you need to do it yourself?"

Shi Mei had no choice but to say: "I dug the lotus root after listening to Zhu'er and Lian'er. I followed to see the lotus, and took a stroll. I'm bored staying in the house these days. Come out and see the sky."

Mrs. Zhang thought it was Jia Lian who caused Shimei to bask in the sun, so she said to Jia Lian: "How could you think that as soon as it comes out, it will make a mess, and it seems to spoil the grandmother and sisters."

As he spoke, he personally held an umbrella for Shi Mei, and then ordered Yuan Chun to hold an umbrella.

Jia Lian pursed his lips and smiled: "My son is not fooling around. We made osmanthus and lotus root cakes for my aunt, and that's why we came here to dig the lotus roots."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she must have come with her mother-in-law's consent.

In the past, Mrs. Zhang must have blushed.Now that she has a good relationship with Shi Mei, she is not embarrassed at all, and she is busy smiling and praising her son: "This is mother's fault for blaming you. I know that I love my aunt, so it is worthwhile for your aunt to love you!"

Then he said to Shi Mei: "It's because the daughter-in-law was too busy and confused, and she forgot the deliciousness of this knife."

Shi Mei was not surprised, and said: "I think this lotus root is good. From now on, let people dig some for the children to add to the vegetables." Shi Mei pointed her hand: "Excavate from this area, and organize a series of them in autumn. In order to avoid poor flow of water and affect the irrigation of rice fields over there."

Mrs. Zhang was a little puzzled, why the spring water on the mountain was not directly introduced into the rice fields, but why such a big bend was introduced into the back garden and then led out, but there was no doubt.The mother-in-law likes to play like this, so she just plays along, and it doesn't cost a few dollars.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly responded: "Daughter-in-law made a note, the sun is very poisonous, daughter-in-law will send you back."

Shi Mei looked at a lot of lotus roots, and beckoned to Jia Lian: "This is enough, and I have to grind the powder when I go back. Don't delay, go back."

Jia Zhu and Jia Lian heard this, and walked back to the shade of the willows, grabbed the side of the boat and jumped onto the boat, sitting on the side of the boat, splashing water to wash their legs.

Suddenly, Mrs. Zhang screamed, but Jia Lian was afraid of a leech on her calf.

Jia Lian was also frightened, she retracted her legs and stretched out in front of Shi Mei: "Grandma, does it hurt so much?"

Shi Mei also felt a little fuzzy in her heart, but it was exaggerated by such an aboriginal daughter as Mrs. Zhang.

The boat lady was used to it and said: "At this time, leeches are the most common in places that haven't been drained for many years to dry the fields, and they will fall off with a slap."

Upon hearing this, Shi Mei slapped the leeches sequentially, and the leeches rolled onto the boat planks as expected.

Shi Mei pressed the wound with her thumb, and a little spiritual power from the hair in the meridian flowed to her fingers, purifying the wound for Jia Lian: "Don't be afraid, Lian'er, leeches are not poisonous, as long as the bleeding is stopped!"

Shi Mei took off her finger, and Jia Lian's leg stopped bleeding.

Zhang Shi was so frightened that her voice changed: "Lian'er, does it hurt?"

Jia Lian shook his head in response, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Then he took a wicker stick and beat the leeches.

The boat lady smiled and said, "Second Master Lian, leeches cannot be killed."

Jia Lian continued to twitch: "He may not be a cat, he has nine lives?"

The boat lady said with a smile: "If you cut it with a knife, it will die a few times. Its life is cheap, and it can live no matter what. However, it is afraid of salt. When it encounters salt, it will turn into water."

Shi Mei laughed: "This leech is almost like a sea cucumber."

As soon as Shi Mei finished speaking, she saw Zhang's body trembling and vomiting.Although the four maids and two women behind Mrs. Zhang didn't vomit, they pursed their mouths tightly and frowned as if they had eaten Coptis chinensis.

Shi Mei pretended not to see it, knowing that it was funny, the news would soon spread among the servants, and the kitchen would not worry about someone stealing sea cucumbers from now on.

To Shi Mei's surprise, not only did the sea cucumber like a leech spread in the mansion, but also the fact that Shi Mei liked the second master Lian so much also spread in the mansion.

The person who spread it was vivid: You Shimei saw that Lian's second master was taken by leeches, the grandmother was so frightened that her face turned pale, but she didn't dare to go forward, and the boat lady just talked but didn't practice.

The second master Lian was afraid, so he stretched out his legs in front of the old lady, but without saying a word, the old lady slapped the leech to death.

Then, the old lady was not too dirty, and even pinched the wound for Second Master Lian.

One said: You bragging, I heard that leeches can't be killed, so soak them in salt.

The first one lost face and got annoyed: Hmph, if you can't be beaten to death, maybe the old lady can't be beaten to death either?Is the old lady an ordinary person?The old lady invented the sweet potato, saved thousands of people, and was praised by His Majesty. Can you do it?

It took half a day for the news to spread, and by the time Mammy Lai collected the news, Shi Mei had become a master at smiling flowers and picking leaves to hurt people.

Shi Mei smiled, and didn't punish, knowing: "Shut up if you tell me to go on, if anyone talks nonsense, cleanse the intestines for three days."

Shi Mei was in a very happy mood that day.

For practice, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian personally ground lotus root powder and made lotus root osmanthus honey cake under Shi Mei's guidance.

The hibiscus cake is also made, with five petals powdered inside and powdered outside, and sweet-scented osmanthus honey used for lotus stamens. The lotus fragrance is tangy, beautiful and delicious.

Jia Lian said, "Grandma, there are four of us. There are only two kinds of cakes here, which is not enough."

Shi Mei said: "The amount is the heart. These two snacks were presented when your aunt tasted tea. If you make too much, your aunt can't eat it. It doesn't matter if the poems are good or bad, as long as they are sincere." Sincerity will do."

This evening, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian also canceled meditation for the next year, so they recited poems against each other. The two brothers wrote and tore up, and tore up and wrote again.

Shi Mei suffered from insomnia again that night, and Shi Mei finally came to the conclusion that she was too excited.

Then, unable to fall asleep while tossing and turning, he still meditated on the kang, holding the spirit stone in his palm to practice.

The rooster crowed, and the clock in the house rang six times.

Shi Mei received her meritorious service.

I was very moved in my heart, fortunately this small world has spiritual energy, not only spiritual stones, but also the air is very fresh with spiritual energy, and the water is also filled with spiritual energy.Only then did she get started in cultivation, otherwise, if she endured this night after night, it would be useless sooner or later.

Shi Mei even had a big brain hole, thinking why the ancients had so much skin like snow, and the beauties who can be broken by bullets must have been spiritual in ancient times.

The spiritual energy has been absorbed by these ancients, and now there is only smog left, and the skin is of course bad!

Shi Mei used to practice the six senses outside, and found that Zhang's morning sickness

Mrs. Zhang has it, but she doesn't know it.

Shi Mei pinched her fingers and plotted, who is this?

Yingchun at Jia Lian's feet.

However, Yingchun is eight years younger than Yuanchun, and now Yuanchun is only five years old, so it is obviously not Yingchun.

This should be the extra child of my butterfly effect.

Shi Mei was no longer in the mood to look at Jia Zhu Yuanchun, thinking to herself, come on, this old lady can't do it anymore, she has to go back to work again.

Shi Mei calmly told Nanny Lai: "Let Da Lai hand over the sign to invite the imperial physician."

Nanny Lai hurriedly asked, "Madam, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Shi Mei didn't know whether her guess was correct or not, she nodded and said: "Almost, please get a Ping'an pulse, the four girls and four uncles are all coming today, everyone please get a Ping'an pulse."

Now that Shi Mei is the mother-in-law, Lin Ruhai's body needs to be checked carefully to see what's wrong, and he needs to be recuperated as soon as possible, so as not to delay the birth of sister Lin's elder brother.

A celestial beauty like Sister Lin should have a capable elder brother to protect her so that she won't be alone in the future.

Although Jia Min is in good health now, many red scholars have analyzed that there are two causes of Jia Min's sudden death. One is that someone murdered Lin Ruhai. After all, she touched half of the official cake.Jia Min's death was just a mistake in the auxiliary vehicle.

The second is that Jia Min died of his son, took the risk of becoming pregnant in middle age, and died of dystocia.

It is impossible for Shi Mei to prevent Lin Ruhai from going to the south of the Yangtze River, nor is it possible to separate the human-machine couple.However, Shi Mei can cause Lin Ruhai and his wife to give birth earlier.

Thinking of this, Shi Mei felt a little worried.

She can recuperate Jia Min's body, but she can't control His Majesty unless Lin Ruhai resigns from office.

This is impossible.

Lin Ruhai has studied hard for more than ten years, and if the imperial decree does not win the emperor's list, he will not get married, and he will never resign from office just because of a few words of worry.

Shi Mei brought Nanny Lai to the conference hall, where Mrs. Zhang was eating sour plum tea.

Shi Mei has not only been in the meeting hall for more than half a year, but suddenly came, Mrs. Zhang was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to greet her: "Why is mother here? You have something to ask Amber Coral to come. Why bother to come?"

Shi Mei's teeth were so smothered by Zhang's steaming sour plum tea: "Eating this early in the morning is not good for the stomach."

Zhang said: "Daughter-in-law's heart is disturbed like a feather in her stomach, and she feels sick and vomits. Drink some sour plum tea to feel better."

Shi Mei said quickly: "If it doesn't work, go back and rest, I have already invited the imperial physician, I will wait for a safe pulse."

Mrs. Zhang blushed immediately, and she herself had a guess, but there was a joke at the end of last year, when Jia Amnesty invited the imperial doctor with great fanfare, but it turned out that it was a stomach upset, so she dared not make any more publicity this time.

Shi Mei knew her scruples: "I often suffer from insomnia these days, and you and Uncle Min'er are just taking a look around later. Let's start assigning errands, I'll listen, and you go back to rest when you're done, there are many customers today, try not to go too many people place to go.”

Then, Shi Mei listened to the reports from the housekeepers, and the kitchen ladies reported that one hundred tables of shark fins, bird's nests, sea cucumbers, abalones, and bear's paws were all ready.

The freshly picked vegetables and fruits of youth have already entered the mansion.

One hundred sets of tire white porcelain are ready.

Set of one hundred silver matching tableware silver spoons silver chopsticks.

Semi-finished products can be processed at any time, and the cooks in the mansion are in charge.

These are two sets of teams.

The main prevention is due to outside guests.

The theater troupe had already entered the mansion last night, ready to kick off at any time.

Liu Ruju's full set of masters will enter the mansion immediately.

Today is a wedding ceremony, there are no outsiders.

The male guests all sit in the Rongxi Hall, while the female guests sit in the Rongqing Hall.

In another mansion, Du Zongyuan and Li Songren (Mr. Li) were invited as companions.

Both Rongning and Ningxia, Jia Jing, Jia Amnesty, and Jia Zheng went home early this day to wait for their brother-in-law.

Jia Ban Jiashu, the representative of the tribe in Jinling, and all the tribesmen in the back street, arrived at the Rong Mansion before Si hour, and took their seats, waiting for the arrival of the new aunt.

To Shi Mei's surprise, two unexpected guests came to the Rong Mansion that day, and they thought they were Zhang's eldest brother.He went to office in the first month and served as a co-prefect in Zhili.

One is Shi Ding, a historian.

Shi Ding made meritorious service again, and was conferred the title of Zheng Sanpin as the captain of Wuyi by Emperor Jiahe.This time he was recalled to Kyoto, firstly to thank him, and secondly because Emperor Jiahe wanted to know the situation in Haijiang personally.

Shi Ding's meritorious service is because he invented a battle formation that can effectively curb the fast attack of Japanese pirates.

To put it bluntly, it is to use crowd tactics to win by winning.

First trap the Japanese pirates with battle formations, and then fight in from all directions.

As the saying goes, if a master is beaten to death with random punches, no matter how good a master is, he will not be able to fight the wheel.

This tactic is very suitable for wars where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is few and we are many.

Although the Japanese pirates are tough, they are all highly skilled in martial arts and exquisite in swordsmanship.

However, the Japanese pirates transported by pirate ships are limited, and the Japanese pirates who land and rob are even more limited.

However, our army is infinitely expandable.

In the past, the army had no training and adopted tactics of fighting alone, so they were driven straight in by the Japanese pirates with sharp knives, chopping melons and vegetables.

Now that there is a battle formation to restrain the sword, the Japanese pirates will fall into the vast ocean of our army's battle formation when they land.

As long as it is surrounded, there is no way to escape until it is eliminated.

The author has something to say: We are fighting Japanese pirates again.
