Aunt Zhao's happy life

Taking advantage of everyone's lunch break, Mrs. Wang quietly called Zhou Ling'er to her front: "I have something to discuss with you." Ling'er said: "Second Mistress, if you have anything to say, just tell me!"

Mrs. Wang took Zhou Ling'er's hand: "I heard that you have served the second master the longest, and you must know his temperament best."

Ling'er laughed and said: "The old lady said I was careful, so she asked me to follow the second master when I was a child. I know his temper very well."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Then, have you thought about the future? You have served the second master for so many years. In the future, we will match you with a boy, or will some relatives redeem you?"

Ling'er said: "I have no relatives for a long time. My relatives are those people from our Rongfu. As for the future, the servants have never thought that as long as I stay here for one day, I will serve the second master well. This is the old lady. I said it. In case the Rongxi Hall doesn’t need me in the future, I’ll go back to the old lady, and the old lady doesn’t need me anymore, anyway, I can still help in the kitchen, but someone has to do the water and wood chopping.”

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Everyone says you are a solid person, and it is true. You are so busy every day, but you never leave a way for yourself. It is a pity that you have such a handsome face and such a slender figure."

Zhou Ling'er didn't know how to answer these words, she was embarrassed by Mrs. Wang holding both hands.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Ling'er, are you willing to serve the second master for the rest of your life?"

Ling'er nodded: "That would be the best, the second master is kind, serving him with peace of mind."

Mrs. Wang said: "Then would you like to be the second master's aunt?"

Ling'er thought that Mrs. Wang suspected that she was seducing the master like Rui'er, so she pulled out her hands and knelt on the ground: "Second Mistress, although the slaves have been in Rongxi Hall, they never intentionally seduce Second Master, Second Mistress Mingjian!"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but laughed loudly: "Get up, what did you say, how could I doubt you!" Holding the bell, Mrs. Wang said: "I mean, I want you to be my aunt , serve the second master for the rest of his life."

Ling'er lowered her head: "How can I say this? If it hits anyone, it won't hit me!"

Mrs. Wang said: "The old lady likes you, the second master trusts you, and I like you very much. Now that I have Zhu'er, I will have children one after another in the future. I don't care about the second master at all. You can help me as an aunt. Besides, sooner or later, there must be an aunt, otherwise people will look at it and look like I am the kind of person who is jealous."

Ling'er said: "The old lady chose Rui'er. Once Rui'er comes here, the monthly payment is two taels of silver plus a penny. Isn't this the treatment of my aunt? The second master also sees Rui'er in his heart, why should I bother myself?" Why not make fun of it? The second grandma has also seen it, and the second master can't do without Rui'er for a moment, why not be beautiful?"

Mrs. Wang said: "How do you know my painstaking efforts? Rui'er is only liked by the second master now because she is young and beautiful and can act like a baby. Who knows what will happen in the future? She is impatient, strong in everything, and lazy. How can she take good care of the second master?" Master? What I don’t know is that the men of our Jia family are not up to standard in taking concubines.”

Ling'er said: "The lady in the house is the face, taking concubines is what it is, no one would talk nonsense like that. You see, in the big house, Mr. Xi just randomly searched for a room, who cares about it?"

Mrs. Wang saw that Ling'er was always unreasonable, so she had to say: "You know, Rui'er and I are incompatible, if she becomes an aunt, she will definitely climb on top of me, and the second master will abuse me, my child I don't have a good life either. In the future, she will give birth to a boy and a half girl. Are you afraid that the Jia family will not be divided into half by her? I just want to leave this place to you because I treat you as my own sister. You saved me!" As she spoke, she really burst into tears.

Ling'er also lost her mind: "Then... does Second Master know?"

Mrs. Wang said: "He doesn't know yet, you hang around him a lot these days, let him pay attention to you, cultivate a relationship, and I will reveal it when the time comes."

Ling'er said: "Now the second master has gone to the Ministry of Industry, and he is not home all day long, so I have no chance!"

Mrs. Wang glared at her: "Then Rui'er can always look for opportunities every now and then, but you can't? You should learn more!"

That night, Jia Zheng came back very late, his appetite was not good, he washed up hastily, and wanted to go to the study for a while.

As soon as she sat down, she was about to call Rui'er, but Zhou Ling'er followed her in like a tail.

Jia Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go out and call Ruier."

Zhou Ling'er said timidly: "Rui'er is tired enough, let me serve the second master, the second master eats little for dinner, would you like some porridge?"

Jia Zheng pulled his face: "No, go and call Ruier!"

Ling'er stepped forward: "Let me sharpen the ink for the second master!"

Jia Zheng flicked her hand over: "What's the matter with you? Are you going to leave if you are told? Are you trying to seduce me while no one is around?"

Ling'er didn't talk much in the first place, but now she was stunned.

Jia Zheng stood up and stared at Ling'er: "Did Second Grandma call you here? Tell me!" Ling'er nodded.

Jia Zheng sneered and said, "Don't worry, you have no chance, tell her not to wishful thinking!"

Ling'er withdrew resentfully, and Jia Zheng called out from behind: "Call Rui'er!"

When she arrived at Mrs. Wang's room, Ling'er lowered her hands and sighed. Mrs. Wang knew she had been kicked out by Jia Zheng, so she said with a smile, "It's okay, he has a stubborn temper, take your time, don't worry."

Ling'er said: "Second Mistress, don't let me go, please! Why bother!"

Mrs. Wang asked: "What did the second master say?"

Ling'er said: "He knew you were the one who asked me to go, saying that I had no chance, and told you not to wishful thinking."

Mrs. Wang said: "Go down and rest for a while, I won't ask you to go."

In the study, Jia Zheng took out a hairpin with silver dots and emerald greens inlaid with sapphires from his sleeve, and put it in Ruier's hair bun.

Ruier looked in the mirror and opened her mouth wide in surprise: "This hairpin is so beautiful! Isn't it expensive? Does Madam have any?"

Jia Zheng said, "Only yours."

Ruier quickly took it off and wrapped it in a handkerchief: "Then I will hide it well, so as not to cause trouble."

Jia Zheng said: "I gave it to you, who dares to say you?"

Rui'er hugged Jia Zheng's arm: "Second Lord is now an official and has no time to stay at home. I don't know that Rui'er seems to have fallen into a tiger's pit! You can protect me at home, but when you go out, I'm not letting others go." Bully!"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was unhappy: "Why did you bully you? I'll go and talk to them!"

Rui'er said: "It's just trivial matters, so I don't need the second master to bother. It's just that I feel very wronged!"

Jia Zheng held Rui'er in his arms: "Don't worry, I'll give you an explanation when I'm here."

Ever since he took over the post of head of the Ministry of Industry, Jia Zheng has been so busy that he left early and returned late every day, but he still couldn't do what he wanted.

When he first arrived in the officialdom, he couldn't figure out the rules at all. He couldn't socialize with his colleagues, and he wasn't good at handling the affairs of the Ministry of Industry.

At night, when he was sleeping, Mrs. Wang was often asleep.Sometimes, when she was still awake, she would ask him about official affairs.

Jia Zheng would also tell the truth that he was under too much pressure and couldn't breathe.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It's my elder brother's fault to scare you like this for a mere fifth rank?"

Not only that, Mrs. Wang also repeatedly advised Jia Zheng not to fool around with Zhao Ruier when he had time, but to learn more about official career and economics.

As the main wife, she was right to advise her husband.What's more, there is no one reliable in the huge Jia Mansion. If things go on like this, what should we do?

Jia Zheng had no choice but to swallow the pressure and depression, lay down with his back to Mrs. Wang, and faced the coming second day in exhaustion and helplessness...

Mother Jia is a smart person, she often comes to see her grandson, so she can see Rui'er's situation.In order to let Rui'er breathe, when Jia Zheng was not at home, Jia's mother would often call someone to tell Rui'er to go to Rongqingtang.

As soon as Ruier arrived at Rongqingtang, she jumped into the water like a fish on the bank. She talked and laughed, climbed trees and climbed walls, she was a complete tomboy.

Mother Jia laughed and said, "I see that you are so pitiful that you don't dare to show your temper under Second Grandma's nose, so I call you here from time to time. Second Grandma is not bad, but she is still too young and always wants to take over a man's place." The whole heart and the whole person. How can a master like us not be a greedy cat? Besides, Zheng Er liked you before she came here, so there is nothing to worry about!"

Rui'er said: "Don't mention how difficult it is now. When I do good things, they say I have a conspiracy, and they say nothing that I am thinking of ghosts, and every move is wrong. The second master always looks for me every day when he comes back, and he can't hide. I also like the second master, but I can't like it!"

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, when the family filial piety is over at the end of the year, I will make you my aunt, and Second Mistress will not be like this then!"

Returning to Rongxi Hall from Jia Mu's place is heaven falling into hell.

Chen Xiang always said in a weird way: "If the second master is here, he will curry favor with the second master, and if the second master is not around, he will curry favor with the old lady. This means the fox has become a spirit!"

Qi'er always chimed in: "He's from Rongqingtang, he's higher than us!"

Mrs. Wang didn't want to say anything clearly, she was afraid that the old lady would know how to control her anger, so she could only push Rui'er non-stop, seeing her panting from exhaustion and not daring to rest, she got a little balance in her heart.

With fighting openly and secretly, life is much more fulfilling and passes quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year again, and the family filial piety period had passed, Jia Zheng clapped his hands and said, "Rui'er, I'll go tell the old lady to let you be my aunt!"

Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "The filial piety period has only passed three days, so I can't wait, I really don't know how chilling my father's spirit in heaven is!"

Jia Zheng couldn't hear her at all, so he rushed to Rongqing Hall: "Mother! Mother!"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "What's the matter, my son?"

Jia Zheng said: "After the filial piety, can I take a concubine?"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Are you in such a hurry? Your father is watching!"

Jia Zheng said, "I want to give Rui'er a status so that she won't be bullied every day."

Jia Mu said: "It's not a big deal. You can figure it out. Every time your brother asks for a concubine, he decides for himself. If you are happy, send it here for me to take a look. If you are not happy, I don't even know the shadow." .”

Jia Zheng said: "Then mother, let's set a date!"

Mother Jia thought for a while: "Let's officially consummate the house on Laba Festival! Just remember that you are different from your brother. You are the hope of our family. Don't think about your children's affair every day. In the future, you must do things in a down-to-earth manner." Good! I see that you really like Rui'er, and it's not like a joke, so I can fulfill you, so don't mess with some dubious women again."

Jia Zheng kowtowed and said, "Thank you mother for being considerate of Zheng'er! From now on, I won't take concubines anymore, this one is enough!"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "You are still young, so don't talk too much."
