Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

"Enhou, mother will ask you one more question. What made you realize that you did something wrong? You can think about it later, maybe tomorrow night."

Jia Amnesty was driven back to his yard. He looked at the time and found that it was the end of Haishi. At this time, Mrs. Zhang should rest.He had no choice but to go back to the study in silence, what his mother asked him, what made him realize that he had done something wrong, echoed in his mind all the time.

"What is it?" Jia Amnesty thought over and over again, and finally he found that what he couldn't face was that his mother didn't have the idea of ​​controlling the housekeeper, and another thing was that his mother's martial arts were better than his own.

For many years, in the secret place of his heart, there has always been the impression that his mother exchanged himself with his grandparents in exchange for the housekeeping rights.And the mother's arrangement after his sister's marriage broke the foundation of his thinking.

Who is to blame?Blame grandma?Jia Amnesty refused to admit it.

The father also grew up beside his grandmother, and there was no obvious gap between the father and his grandmother's mother-child relationship.Could it be that his father had no brothers, and no one would compete with his father for favor with his grandmother?

Fight for favor!The moment this word appeared in Jia She's mind, he laughed at first, since he is not a child of a certain age, how could he have the idea of ​​competing for favor.Then he quickly had to admit that the word was very apt to describe his relationship with his second child in front of his mother.

Just like what my mother said the year before last, I don't treat my second child with the same tolerance as Hu'er treats Zhu'er, and I don't have the tolerance that the eldest son treats the second son, and the eldest son treats the side branch.

It's because I'm narrow-minded, it's because I don't have enough heart!

Realizing this, Jia Amnesty felt even more bitter.

When I was a child, every time I saw my second child snuggled up to my mother, I wanted to get close to her at first. What stopped me from admiring and approaching my mother?

Who is to blame?Blame the grandparents?The grandparents doted on themselves as if they were the apple of their eye. Even if they were not jealous of the venerable, Jia She would not admit that there was anything wrong with the grandparents.

So many people who have the identity of the eldest son grew up in front of their grandparents, so why don't other people have the same biological relationship as their own mother and child?I have no birth relationship with my father!

Is it caused by my mother being cold, disdainful, and lacking the affection between mother and child, or because I listened to my grandmother's words and was unfilial to my mother?

The more Jia She thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.This night he tossed and turned without closing his eyes, and the next day he still went to the East Palace on time for ointment.

Seeing the green look in Jia She's eyes, the prince knew that last night was not going well for him.At lunch time, I turned away from the left and right sides, leaving Jia She to talk.Jia Amnesty told the prince about his mother's problem, and asked the prince to analyze it for him.

"Enhou, Gu thought about it last night. If you didn't get your mother's reminder the year before last and didn't want to let go of the half of the Eastern Palace who are your subordinates, it's hard to say whether Gu can still be in the Eastern Palace. Do you recognize this?" point?"

Jia Amnesty nodded in acknowledgment.The words my mother said the year before last when she was detained at home to copy the accounts were the key to turning the decline of the East Palace around.

"Enhou, I feel that Mrs. Rong Guo is more similar to the Empress Dowager. They are both visionary, broad-minded, and capable, and they are not inferior to men. If you are concerned that Mrs. Rong Guo gave you up for the housekeeper's power, It’s you who thinks it’s unreasonable. It’s different for every family and government when to hand over the stewardship of the inner house. If your grandmother exchanged the stewardship with your mother, do you think it’s appropriate and right for your grandmother to propose such a condition? Right?"

What Jia Amnesty tried to avoid and conceal in this matter was the influence of his grandmother on him in his relationship with his mother.But what the prince said made him have to face up to the inappropriateness of his grandmother's statement.

"Also, in the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship between Junior Sister and your mother, Junior Sister is on the weak side. Enhou, I don't know if you have thought about it. When Mrs. Rong Guogong faced your grandmother more than 20 years ago, she was also In the same position. Can Duke Rong act like you?"

Jia Amnesty was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say.

"Times have changed, Gu thought and thought again and again last night, what I said to you a few years ago is unfair to Mrs. Rong Guo."

Jia She was silent for a long time, then stood up resolutely and said, "Ming Yun, I'll go back and plead guilty to my mother."

The prince nodded and watched Jia Amnesty leave.Jia Amnesty, as his father said, relied on him as his thigh, and compared with Duke Rong, there was a huge gap.

What about yourself as the prince?Compared with Mrs. Rong Guo's neat and tidy cut-off tail to survive the year before last, and the generosity of giving up half of the servants in the East Palace, is she also far behind?

The prince thought of the sage's comments on Mrs. Rong Guo later, and deeply felt that the junior sister was an ordinary woman in the inner house, and Mrs. Rong Guo was indeed a bright moon in the sky like the empress dowager.

Jia Amnesty's return to the mansion at this time surprised everyone in Rongguo Mansion.When he arrived at the main courtyard, the woman guarding the gate said, "Master, my wife is taking a lunch break."

Jia She said: "It's okay, I'll go to the main hall and wait for my mother to get up."

Jia She asked the maid to prepare a tea set for himself, imitating his mother's practice, slowly brewing carefully, and smelling the tea fragrance of Lao Junmei, he comfortably praised it, it tastes like this.After drinking it, he felt much worse, and he put down the teacup in disappointment.

At three o'clock, Jia's mother was awakened by the maid on time.

"Madam, are you starting now? The uncle is here, making tea by yourself in the main hall."

"Okay, pack it up."

Seeing Jia She's calm face, Jia Mu could not conceal the tension in her eyes, so she kicked out all the serving maids and re-boiled water to make tea.

"Enhou, have you figured out the question from last night?" Jia Mu's expression seemed to be asking if it's normal to have lunch at noon.

Jia She felt guilty, he stood up and walked to the opposite side of the long case, knelt down respectfully and said, "Mother, my son is wrong."

"Well. I knew you were wrong."

Jia She is embarrassed, mother, you talk like this, how can people go on talking.

"Enhou, do you want to understand where you went wrong?"

"Mother, the son is looking at the mother with prejudice. It should not be believed that the mother would exchange her son with the grandmother for the sake of housekeeping."

Tears welled up in Jia Mu's eyes in an instant, and the soreness in her heart made her twist and hurt.

She nodded slightly, motioning for Jia Amnesty to continue talking.

"Mother, son, it was only when you ordered your son to copy the account books and Mrs. Zhang to copy the gift list the year before last that you believed that mother had plans to let Mrs. Zhang take over the housekeeping. The son was confused. I didn't expect that before the second brother and younger sister got married, you would let Mrs. Zhang copy the gift list. Zhang's housekeeper is inappropriate."

"anything else?"

Jia Amnesty gritted his teeth, lowered his head and said, "Mother, my son is not filial, he shouldn't use the dirty mind of a villain to slander his mother for teaching his new daughter-in-law, that's rubbing Mrs. Zhang."

"are these all?"

"My son is so obsessed with sex, and when Mrs. Zhang cries, he thinks she has been wronged..."

"So you stand up for her? Regardless of the tradition that the eldest grandson is raised by the grandmother?"

Jia She fell to the ground, too ashamed to look up.

"Enhou, my mother would like to ask you this, if I don't change the bookkeeping method the year before last, I will hand over all the family affairs to Mrs. Zhang, do you think she can manage the Rongguo Mansion?"

"No." Jia Amnesty replied immediately.

"Enhou, based on Zhang's attitude towards her mother-in-law these years after her marriage, should I teach her in detail how to manage the Rongguo Mansion and how to greet relatives and friends in the Rongguo Mansion?"

It was only then that Jia Amnesty realized what her mother meant by asking her to teach Mrs. Zhang.

"Mother, please ask mother to teach Mrs. Zhang..."

"Enhou, Mrs. Zhang married into the mansion. Do you think our mother and son are closer and more harmonious than before, or are you more filial than before? After you refused to let Mrs. Zhang establish the concept of respecting mother-in-law as the inner house, the It’s been almost ten years, if you come to admit your mistake now, I shouldn’t care about the past, should I?”

To be honest, Jia She really thought so in his heart.

"Why? Enhou, if you admit your mistake, I will forgive you? Do you think I'm a saint?" Jia Mu stared at Jia She, who was kneeling in front of her, not missing the slightest expression on his face.

Jia Amnesty was stunned, yes, why?

"Enhou, you made a mistake in the mansion, and you still have a chance to admit it now. Then let me ask you, when the sage dealt with the subjects of the Eastern Palace the year before last, you jumped up and down, do you know where your mistake is now?"

"Mother, the son's fault is that he didn't think about whether the subordinates of the Eastern Palace are fighting for the prince's interests."

"Isn't it right to fight for the prince's interests?"

Jia Amnesty opened his mouth halfway, unable to answer.

"Even if the subjects of the Eastern Palace are fighting for the benefit of the crown prince, should it be? Would the saint think that the Eastern Palace has the intention of treason? Enhou, you will inherit the title of the Rongguo Mansion in the future. Maybe one day you will have good luck and a chance , will also take over the positions of your father's powerful ministers, important ministers, close ministers, and trustworthy ministers. If you can't think about things from the overall situation, it will be a disaster for the crown prince and Rongguo Mansion.

I ask you if such a situation arises, what would you choose?

If the situation of the previous year had not been contained, after the subjects of the Eastern Palace were relegated and imprisoned, the sage would take his anger out on the Taifu and exile the Taifu's family.Do you want to protect Mrs. Zhang? "

Jia Amnesty shook her lips, unable to speak.If it was three years ago, if it was a few days ago, he would say "Bao" without hesitation, but now he can't say this word no matter what.Protecting the Zhang family meant that the anger of the saint might be brought to the Rongguo Mansion. He knew the nature of the saint too well.

"Will you protect Mrs. Zhang?" Mother Jia asked him persistently.

"No." Jia Amnesty replied painfully. Compared with Rongguo Mansion and the entire Jia family, even parents should abandon themselves.

"After all, you have made some progress. Get up."

Jia Amnesty's answer made Jia's mother feel better.

Jia She got up obediently and took the tea his mother handed him.The smooth and fragrant old gentleman lowered his eyebrows and made him realize clearly that under the situation of the year before last, the Zhang family should definitely be abandoned by the Rongguo Mansion.

"Enhou, if mother hadn't taken your spear/spear and showed a higher force than you, do you think Hu'er would be so close to me?"

Jia Amnesty shook his head.

"If you don't protect the Zhang family, in order to protect the Rongguo Mansion, based on the relationship between Hu'er and me, do you think I will keep Hu'er?"

Jia She shivered violently, he knew in his heart that Hu'er would not be able to keep.Even Lian'er couldn't keep it.Thinking of this festival, Jia She immediately kowtowed to his mother.

"Mother, son, thank you mother for saving my son's family."

No wonder the prince said that his mother was a woman compared to the empress dowager.The mother gave birth to herself, regenerated Donggong and herself, and saved Zhang and her two sons.

Guilt flooded Jia Amnesty like a tide, and he choked up and said, "Mother, I'm sorry, my son is wrong."
