Aunt Zhao's happy life

Despite being very cautious, Aunt Zhao gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a very small and thin son. Jia Zheng named him Jia Huan.Although the child is less than a month old, looking wrinkled and holding a tiny bit, Aunt Zhao is still very satisfied. She now has a son and a daughter, and is a happy mother.

Needless to say, Jia Zheng's joy, Jia's mother also said repeatedly: "Zheng'er has another son, and now our family is much more lively!"

In private, Rui'er was often worried, and said to her husband: "This child has been born prematurely for too long, and it only weighs more than three catties. Is it impossible to support it?" In this way, those born in more than seven months can actually live, and besides, people like us, if we try our best to support and protect them, nothing will happen."

The one who was most unhappy was Mrs. Wang. What she was worried about happened. Aunt Zhao really gave birth to a son!Although according to the law of etiquette, my aunt's son is also her son, and he wants to call her mother, but after all, it didn't grow in his stomach, so how could it be the same?

She couldn't treat Jia Huan the way she raised Tanchun, and she told Rui'er directly at the beginning: "My Baoyu is still young, and I'm getting old, Huan'er, you can take care of yourself, I'm afraid I can't take care of much! "

After having a son, Aunt Zhao's status in the Jia family has improved a lot, and everyone's attitude towards her has changed, and they dare not treat her as their master.Jia Zheng simply didn't know how to pamper her, and tried to find ways to please her.

Rui'er was afraid of making enemies, so she was always cautious, kept a low profile, and often told Jia Zheng not to show off.Mrs. Wang's attitude never improved again, and the young Baoyu didn't know it, and still ran to see Tanchun and Jia Huan at every turn.

Mrs. Wang often taught Baoyu in private: "It is serious to spend time with the old lady when you have time. What are you going to do with your annoying aunt? In the future, when Huan'er grows up, there may not be a place for you!" It's a trend, Mrs. Wang is upset, who would dare to openly face Aunt Zhao?So within a few days of the good life, the limelight changed again, and Aunt Zhao was not human anyway.

Ruyan couldn't get used to it, and always said: "Auntie now has both children and is the master of the Rongguo Mansion, why should she be bullied by those villains? Besides, the master won't be able to leave you for a moment, what are you afraid of? With them Make trouble! The master will support you!" Rui'er smiled lightly: "I should be content, let others do whatever they want! The master is not really happy for a day now, why should I cause trouble for him!"

Ever since Jia Huan was born, Aunt Zhao's elder brother Zhao Guoji and nephew Qian Huai came here every now and then to play Qiufeng, as if they suddenly missed Rui'er as a relative.Every time he said he was looking after the children, he never cared about Jia Huan and Tanchun, let alone caring about Rui'er's situation.Rui'er knew what they were thinking, and it was nothing more than to get some benefits every time they came back, and they would be able to be comfortable for a while when they went back. Even if they didn't get anything, they could go to Rongguo Mansion every now and then, and they would be able to brag and show off their prestige outside, and bully others.

Such poor relatives are naturally the laughing stock of the Manchu people, and they can't blame others. Who told this father and son to rob every time they come here!Every time Ruier saw off her elder brother and nephew, she pretended not to see the servants' pointing fingers, while being filled with sadness and helplessness.If the parents are still there, they should give as much as they want. She has nothing to say, so what is going on now?

Jia Zheng knew Rui'er's heart disease, and whenever he was free, he would persuade him, "I know you gave birth to Huan'er, and my wife feels uncomfortable, and even your extra allowance is gone, and a little money is tight every month. I can't give much, and your brother and nephew come here frequently, and you can't bear it. But after all, they are your relatives, and they are also my relatives, so they should be supported."

Rui'er said: "You just say you are relatives, if outsiders hear about it and say that I am shameless, your wife's natal family is your serious relatives, Tanchun is not willing to call uncle until now!"

Because Jia Zheng favored Aunt Zhao, he transferred Zhao Guoji and Qian Huai from the counting room to take over the purchases of the girls in the Rongguo Mansion. For example, rouge, gouache, eyebrow powder, etc., it is inevitable to entrust someone to choose, and they have no choice but to buy it once after making a profit.Since it has always been like this, why not leave it to your own people, maybe you can feel more at ease.

One day, Rui'er went to talk to Tanchun, who was doing some needlework in Mrs. Wang's room, still talking and laughing: "My mother's needlework is said to be the best in the whole house, but I don't have any Inherited, I can only say that I can barely do it." Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "You can't say that, you are better than her in many ways, after all, you are still like your father in many ways."

Qi'er said: "Yes, even though Aunt Zhao has both children now, how can she compare to our wife? My wife's elder brother is a first-rank official, and her natal family is extremely noble. Aunt Zhao's elder brother and nephew look like beggars. Don't be afraid that the third girl will be sad, she is like a robber, and every time she comes back, she will carry it on her back and return with a full load!"

Tanchun naturally felt uncomfortable when he heard this, so he defended: "It's not a good thing, it's just my mother's wish!"

Chen Xiang spat: "Oh, if it weren't for the way we love the third girl, we really wouldn't be in the mood to see those people! Aunt Zhao was just a rough girl like us back then, and it was her who flew up the branch. Good fortune, it's not good for us to chew blindly in front of a girl, but she is too indulgent of her ineffective natal family, isn't this embarrassing herself?"

This chattering went on for a while, and Tanchun was speechless, and Mrs. Wang didn't stop her as before, but added a few words now and then to join in the fun.Ruier was afraid that going in like this would embarrass Tanchun even more, so she retreated silently.

When her health gradually improved, Aunt Zhao took Jia Huan to see Jia's mother when she had time. After all, this was Jia Zheng's son, and Jia's mother liked it very much, saying that this child should be treated like Baoyu.Whenever Mrs. Wang was around, she used to say something weird intentionally or unintentionally:

"This child doesn't look like Aunt Zhao, nor does he look like the master. It's strange that he has his own appearance!"

"Don't look at this child as young, but he has a strong heart. Seeing what Baoyu has, he is ready to grab it. He has scratched Baoyu's face several times!"

"For such a small child, just call him mother, let him call me mother, but he doesn't obey, and he doesn't know who taught him!"

……

After hearing such things too much, Jia's mother inevitably gradually became prejudiced.

Aunt Zhao didn't argue about anything, she always felt that it was a gift from God to have two children after being infertile for more than ten years, she couldn't ask for more, she was already very happy.

Every night, if Tanchun didn't come, Aunt Zhao would have dinner with Jia Huan and Jia Zheng. If Tanchun came, it would be a family of four.

Under the lights, a few people were talking and laughing, the children were laughing, and the husband and wife were having fun. During such a time, Rui'er was filled with happiness every second.Jia Zheng said that Aunt Zhao is his home.And Aunt Zhao is also used to being an ordinary wife in this small world.

After taking good care of her body and giving birth to Daiyu, Jia Min conceived another child and gave birth to a son in the summer. Compared with the last child, the Jia family and Lin family were more rejoicing this time. Lin Ruhai and Jia Min sighed that the good days came so late.Like Daiyu, Lin Ruhai's youngest son has been in poor health since birth, even worse than Daiyu. The joy of the couple is mixed with anxiety.In any case, Jia Min can be counted as a son and daughter, and the pain has come!

Lin Daiyu grew up slowly, and her health has not been getting better. She has been taking medicine all year round. Jia Min and his wife are always taking good care of them. They also joked that in the future, they must find a son-in-law who is considerate and not annoying. Otherwise, who will supervise her in this life? Coax her to drink?

Fortunately, the Lin family is not short of money for the medicines of the two children. Lin Ruhai has a smooth career and has been promoted to inspect the salt censor. This position does not seem to be of high rank, but it is a real fat job. Those in this position are the emperor's most respected celebrities. people.With a successful career and a son and a daughter in middle age, Lin Ruhai felt much more relaxed than the situation where the Jia family had no hope, and she was full of ambition.

Jia's family frequently talked about Jia Min's childbirth, and it was inevitable to mention Daiyu. After hearing this, Baoyu said, "What is this sister Lin like? Will she come and play with me?" I also heard that Aunt Xue has a daughter. Called Baochai, and said with a smile, "It would be nice if this sister Baochai came to accompany me!" Turning her face, she said to Jia Mu, "Why doesn't the old lady go to pick up Sister Yun? She has been back for a long time. !" And hurriedly asked Mrs. Wang: "How is Big Sister doing in the palace? I miss her so much!"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "You are really busy! Every sister and sister is thinking about it, thanks to your enthusiasm!"

In fact, Mrs. Wang's faint worry is beyond words. Her younger sister, Aunt Xue, has just lost her husband. A woman's family supports her business and drags her children.The Mr. Xue whom my sister married earlier can be said to be another Lin Ruhai. He is gentle and respectful to his wife, devotes himself to the education of his children, and is very knowledgeable about economic affairs. Good day is so short!

Since the death of Aunt Xue's husband, those compradors, buddies, and managers in various provinces have bullied Xue Pan for being young and ignorant, taking the opportunity to cheat and cheat, and the business has gradually lost money.Although the daughter Baochai is sensible, she cannot inherit the family business. How will the younger sister spend her days in the future?Maybe Xue Pan will become a weapon in the future, so she can have a worry-free evening?

Let's say that Mrs. Wang has always liked to explore the spring, and she stayed with her to cultivate her.One day, Mrs. Wang and Tanchun were copying Buddhist scriptures together. Jia Huan ran in to play with her sister. Mrs. Wang was cultivating herself. She was annoyed by the child's noise, and she pointed at him and scolded: "Why don't you look like your sister at all? Mother, why are you so rude and unpopular everywhere? How did your mother teach you? Get out, don't be an eyesore here!" Tanchun winked at his younger brother embarrassingly, Jia Huan was still young and didn't understand What do you mean, I just don't leave, I hold Tanchun's hand: "Sister, I want to eat this fruit, why don't we have it in the house?"
