Aunt Zhao's happy life

Mrs. Wang said: "If you are a servant, your health is better after all. People like us really can't do it. Even if you can do it, you will be ashamed if you show your face outside." With resentment, Mrs. Wang waved her hand: "Okay, you guys go and rest!"

As soon as she went out, Ruyan was furious: "What did you say, I want to blame Auntie!"

Zhen Mo covered her mouth: "Damn girl, if you want to talk about it, go away!"

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was approaching, Mother Jia called Jia Zheng to the Rongqing Hall to discuss offering sacrifices to the ancestral hall.Jia Zheng said: "Of course the eldest brother is responsible for this matter, and I can't do it for me."

Jia's mother said: "Your achievements over the past few years have embarrassed our Jia parents. I just want you to comfort our ancestors."

Jia Zheng said modestly, "What is this compared to Duke Rong Ning's meritorious service back then? I'm ashamed to say it."

Mother Jia sighed and said, "I only have you, a successful son, to count on. If something happens to you, I really don't know what to do with this big family! It's just that your eldest brother degenerates by himself, and he doesn't care about teaching the children." I can't even say anything about the Ning Mansion, what should I do if this continues!"

While talking, Jia She's servant came to send a message: "Master She invited the second master and the old lady to have dinner, and said that the second master has not had a banquet in the past few days since he came back. Please do not refuse."

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "I won't go, I just get angry when I see his little pink hair full of heavy make-up all over the room, and I don't even want to see that muddled grandma, out of sight, out of mind!"

Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "You just say that the old lady is tired, and I will go after a short rest."

The boy withdrew, and Jia Zheng said: "Mother shouldn't keep alienating elder brother like this. Is he going to smash the jar for the rest of his life? If you say a few more words to him, I'm afraid he will listen a little more."

Jia Mu said: "When your father was alive, he was always out of breath for his affairs. Why don't I care about him? He's like water pouring on a duck's back! Now that I'm old, why bother to worry about him?" Break things and lose your life!"

Jia Zheng said, "I'll call Rui'er to go with me!"

Jia Mu said: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are all people who look up with both eyes. How can you put an aunt in your eyes? If you let Rui'er suffer humiliation, you might as well ask her to accompany me. At least I love her. of!"

Jia Zheng nodded and left, greeted Mrs. Wang and Rui'er, and went to Jia Amnesty's place.

Mrs. Wang said to Rui'er: "When they meet, they always talk nonsense, and they have to give face. The second master is also hard to be a man."

Rui'er said: "I haven't seen you in four years, it's time to have a meal, if you can't do it, just bury your head and don't listen!"

Let's say that when Jia Zheng arrived at Jia Amnesty's place, he was sneezed all the way from the powder spray, and the parrot passed on a message: "A guest is coming! A guest is coming!"

Mrs. Xing said: "It's just that the honored guests are different. It's like thunder when they come!"

Jia Zheng said with a smile, "I was flushed by the scent."

Mrs. Xing said: "Your brother soaks in it every day, and hasn't smelled its fragrance for a long time."

Seeing Jia Zheng coming in, Jia She waved off the concubines and got down from the bed: "Mother hasn't come to my place for several years, I'm afraid I have forgotten this way!"

Jia Zheng said: "Her joints are very sore when it's cold, and she doesn't want to go to my place, so she just expects everyone to go to her place to have fun! As for Lian'er, he should also be asked to go to Rongqingtang often to ask questions." Please be safe."

Jia She said: "Things that can't be put on the high table, there is no need to be annoying! You think of the temper of the old lady. If you don't like Lao Tzu, can you still like your son?"

At this time, Jia Lian came in from the outside, with a smile on his face that was three points polite and seven points cautious: "Hello, Uncle!" Why don't you go find them?"

Jia Lian said: "I'm afraid of being disgusted by others, but I look forward to my younger brothers and sisters coming to me every day. I have many good things waiting for them, but I dare not send them. I am afraid that people will say that I have spoiled them. Last time, Brother Zhu The slingshot given to me was really good, and I've shot quite a few birds lately."

Jia Zheng said to Jia Amnesty: "Look at this kid's articulateness! He is also a good seed!"

Jia She said: "This kid has a kind heart, and his etiquette is generally good, but he is just like me, and he is not a student."

Jia Zheng said: "No matter what, he still has to go to the school to study. He is still young, so it's hard to say if it's the material, maybe it's just that he hasn't gotten the hang of it yet?"

Jia She said: "It's useless to read those troublesome things in my heart. I will find him a job and make a name for myself in the future."

As soon as Jia Zheng got angry, he couldn't say anything, and the food and wine were on the table, so he said patiently, "Let's have a few drinks today!"

Jia She said with a smile: "I can't drink these three cups of yours. You can eat meat. This is the roasted deer tendon sent by Prince Yong's mansion. I can't speak well this year. I tasted it a while ago, and I don't like it much." Gotta move."

Jia Zheng said: "This stewed elbow with ham smells so good that my mouth is watering, don't talk nonsense, eat it!"

When I went to my brother's house, I suddenly changed the taste, and Jia Zheng's appetite was whetted.Jia Amnesty was also very happy to see it, and told the boy: "Pack these few dishes and send them to Rongqing Hall and Rongxi Hall while they are hot, so that they can taste them all."

When the wine was half drunk, Jia Zheng squinted his eyes and said, "Brother, I haven't been at home these few years, and I'm going to leave again after the opening of the new year. The big and small things in the family are all up to you."

Jia She said with a smile, "It's nothing to do with money in hand."

Jia Zhengdao: "I'm afraid I'll spoil your interest if I say it. You're fine with yourself. You should pay more attention to the affairs of your children and nephews. For example, it is appropriate for Jia Dairu to teach the enlightenment rhythm. If you want to learn more deeply, You must delay hiring a famous teacher. After all, my mother and my wife are women, so you still need to pay attention to it. For example, you can’t rely on the subordinates to report the account books of the pawnshop and the farm, you have to do the accounting yourself.”

Jia She burped and frowned, "You didn't see anything wrong with me when you weren't at home, did you? I'm not from a concubine, nor do I have any shortcomings. You and your mother have too much prejudice against me! As the saying goes , money is the guts of a person, I hold the money in my hand, who will not work for me? Don't ask the teacher, I can find you from the Imperial College! As for the account book, it is my confidant who is taking care of it. They wouldn't dare to come to see me if I lost a penny!"

Jia Zhengdao: "Haven't you seen the current situation clearly? At the moment when I was about to take the imperial examination, the Holy Majesty suddenly gave me an official and cut off my imperial examination path. It is just that our family will not be able to get a Jinshi, and our family will not be able to enter the cabinet." , can only be inferior to others and be a parasite in the shadow of our ancestors! Our generation is already a dead end, if you don’t take care of the next generation, this family will collapse sooner or later!”

Jia She said: "Isn't your son a top achiever? Besides, he can't be a Jinshi. Can the Holy One wipe away the merits of Duke Rong Ning? Our fields are enough to lie down and eat for several lifetimes!"

Jia Zheng sneered and said, "Do you think it can be compared with before? Now the rewards are almost cut off, and there is no support from inside and outside. Although Wang Ziteng is a backer, he is not from our family. I have checked the account books with my mother these days. Is there a few taels left in the year? It’s almost a waste of money!”

Jia She said: "It won't make the two of us short!"

Jia Zheng threw the wine glass on the table: "When will you wake up, big brother! Are you going to be drunk for the rest of your life?"

Jia She said: "Anyway, I'm an embarrassing person. I can't take the Jinshi exam, and I can't do any business. I am entertaining at home and getting in your eyes. What should I do? Do I want to die?"

Jia Zheng said: "I am the only one doing things in our family now. Once something goes wrong with me, what do you think the family can rely on? Every time I think about what to do with the whole family if something goes wrong, I break out in a cold sweat." risk!"

Jia She said: "Where can something go wrong? Wang Ziteng can protect you if something goes wrong with you. Didn't the flood incident last time save you lightly?"

Jia Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak, Mrs. Xing could only smile and said: "Your brother has such a temperament, he knows it in his heart, and he can't speak."

Jia Zheng got up and said, "I'm leaving."

Jia Amnesty neither sent nor spoke, Madam Xing ordered the maids to send them off with lanterns.

Turning around, Mrs. Xing complained: "Even if you don't listen to me, you should follow his advice, why bother making such a fuss over and over again!"

Jia She said: "Now that he is a pillar, he is naturally hard-spoken, and he doesn't take my brother seriously."

Mrs. Xing said: "I think what he said makes sense..."

Jia She said: "What do you know? You are a daughter of a shabby household, who knows how much a catty is, and you are talking nonsense here!"

Mrs. Xing said nothing, and Jia Lian didn't dare to eat any more, so she slipped to the side door and escaped.

Speaking of which, when Rui'er saw Jia Zheng's angry face, she knew that she and Jia Amnesty were not happy talking again.Yin persuaded: "It's not the first time you know about this temperament, big brother, there's no way to change it, so don't waste your time talking, you don't have to spoil your body!"

Jia Zhengdao: "Thinking about my father's feelings back then, I regret it. How much he wanted to see even one of his sons who was satisfactory, but he didn't see the day when I worked hard until he left! I stand now Only when I got to his place did I realize the fear in his heart, but unfortunately my brother will never understand."

Rui'er said: "So you have to be more diligent, the family's favor is all pointing at you alone, if you capsize, the Jia family will be finished."

The two were so preoccupied that they couldn't sleep all night.

Naturally, he didn't get up the next day, only to hear Zhenmo knocking on the door: "Auntie, your brother is here!"

Ruier woke up from the dream: "My brother? Where is he?"

Zhen Mo said: "I'm talking in front of my wife, and I brought a boy with me."

Rui'er said to Jia Zheng, "It's my nephew!"

Washing and dressing in a hurry, Rui'er ran to Mrs. Wang's place without waiting for Jia Zheng.

With just one glance, Rui'er decided: This person is her own brother!

It was also at this moment that Zhao Guoji decided: This is his own sister Zhao Ruier!

Rui'er burst into tears in an instant: "Brother! Why did you come here! It's been 20 years!"

Zhao Guoji also choked up and couldn't speak: "Rui'er..."
