No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

"Has the old lady lost weight again?" The new emperor helped Ou Mengmeng up and took a look. The old lady who was rich before now looked much thinner and sharper.

"To your Majesty, it's hard to buy a lot of money to lose weight in old age. Just follow the example of Zhuangzi, eat some whole grains, and tend the vegetable garden every day, and your life will be very comfortable." Ou Mengmeng smiled hurriedly, pointing to her own Green onion flower bed, "Our boss asked someone to make it. He said that it would save my wife from having to bend over and serve these little things every day, and she would have two more mouthfuls of rice."

"People say to eat two more bowls, but here you mean to eat two more bites." The new emperor laughed, looked at the green onion sprouts that had grown, and looked sideways at the old lady, "Old lady, do you still study every day?"

"My wife is not studying. I just have some free time every day to pass the time." Ou Mengmeng sighed softly in her heart, but still said with a smile.

"Xiong Xing was still telling me that the old lady also has a very high level of insight into the case. It's a pity that she doesn't like to go out. Otherwise, she would miss all the fun and interesting stories outside."

"That's because Mr. Xiong Er respects the elderly and knows that my wife is too carefree, so he wants to chat with her about outside things. What a good boy. What a pity!" Ou Mengmeng thought about Xiong Er and felt a little disgusted with him just now. Now I feel that people are actually much stronger than Zhao Chong.

"Yes, it's a pity." The new emperor also thought of something and sighed softly.Looking at Congtian, he hesitated for a moment, "Does he really have no feelings for He Ying?"

"My wife doesn't know that the two of them have never seen each other since that incident in the north." Ou Mengmeng was startled. This He Ying was being taken care of in their family. She did not dare to mess around. Her granddaughter was not married yet.

"Don't worry, I still know the family tradition of the Jia family." The new emperor nodded. The new emperor knew how tightly the Jia family managed people. After several purges, those left behind still had to learn how to read and teach rules.Even if the new emperor wanted to know the internal affairs of the Jia family, especially the affairs of the West Road, he could only listen to what Jia She and Xiong Er said, and that was what others were willing to say.Things about the girls of the Jia family were only spread when they went out to socialize.They all know it, but they all also know that the Jia family attaches great importance to propriety and will never do anything wrong.

"Actually, 'Under the sky, it's the king's land; on the shore of the land, it's the king's ministers'; there's nothing you can't do with your golden words." Ou Mengmeng hesitated for a moment and said softly.I thought, are you still pointing out that they can fall in love freely?Just hurry up and get married, why bother delaying.

"You don't want me to tell you? Didn't he listen to you?" The new emperor quits. What he said and complained about are all mine, so your family will be fine?

"In addition to being my superior, you also want to marry me. At most, I want to be your friend!" Ou Mengmeng immediately said seriously, are you kidding me? If you don't want to offend anyone, let me be my wife.Being a leader is too easy.

"Then I randomly point out a girl from the Jia family, what do you do?" The new emperor quit and shirks the responsibility. It seems that Jia She and Jia Zheng got the old lady's true inheritance.

"The girls in my wife's family are not allowed to marry until they are eighteen, so Zhao Chong is still single now! If you can afford to wait, my wife has no complaints." Ou Mengmeng is very casual. The Jia family is now eleven, Jia Fen , nine-year-old Jia Jue died.

The new emperor laughed, thinking about it, he found it interesting.Now he knew why Eunuch Xia and Xiong Er liked to play with this old lady. Playing with her really made people relax.

"Don't you ask me why I came here today?" the new emperor asked again.

"You can't be here to celebrate my son's birthday, right?" Ou Mengmeng laughed. He dared to say this, but he couldn't believe it. "Absolutely. I want to know how you manage your son. How do you manage your son like...that thing? He points to the east and dares not go to the west. I want to promote him to an official, but he won't go."

"What kind of official can he be? He can't even take care of himself. Besides, my parents are here and they won't travel far away. At my age, I like to get together but don't like to separate. I'm really afraid that I won't see them for the last time. I'm also afraid that they will spend the rest of their lives together. It's uncomfortable." Ou Mengmeng thought of her parents. When her parents passed away, even though they were in the same city, they couldn't say a word to them or let them see her for the last time. She was actually quite regretful.

"Uncomfortable?" The new emperor was startled?Although he actually understood what the old lady meant, according to the filial piety of the Jia brothers, they would definitely feel uncomfortable if the old lady left.But if we can’t see each other for the last time, will we feel uncomfortable for the rest of our lives?Xinti thinks the old lady is too self-aware?
"When I was young, I read an idle book. The main idea was, 'Parents are the curtain between us and death. There seems to be something between you and death, and you have no feelings. Your parents are between you. When you You will face these things directly only after your parents pass away. Otherwise, the death you see is very abstract and you don’t know it. Relatives, friends, neighbors, and generations apart. The pressure they put on you when they die is not so direct. Your parents are separated from you. There is a curtain between you and death, and the people closest to you will affect your view of life and death.' When I was young, I didn't think anything happened when I watched it. But after my parents were gone, I cried when I watched it again. . The curtain between me and death was suddenly torn down. Death was so within reach all of a sudden." Ou Mengmeng sighed softly, "I can't let my children have regrets."

"But I want Mr. Zheng to go to the official school. It's not a promotion, but a promotion." The new emperor gave her a roll of his eyes. He didn't let Jia Zheng serve outside, so why not let him go to the official school.

"Do you know what his biggest regret in life is?" Ou Mengmeng was even more speechless and looked at the new emperor calmly.

The new emperor was startled, he really didn't know this.You can’t say that you didn’t marry the right wife, right?This is not something he can just say.

"He tried his best to force his eldest son to make progress, and even married the eldest son to the legitimate daughter of the former Imperial Academy. After the eldest son passed away, he forced Jia Jue instead. Before, the old woman was sandwiched between their father and son because it was difficult for him to get married. In fact, his biggest regret in life is that he failed to pass the imperial examination and become an official." Ou Mengmeng spread her hands to him. You are humiliating Jia Zheng by letting someone who became an official through Enyin teach the people who have passed the examination to read. Or is it humiliating government school students?

"So he didn't really listen to you, but I asked him to go to the official school to teach, and he was a little embarrassed?" The new emperor laughed.

"Your Majesty, it's not kind to laugh like that." Ou Mengmeng felt that she had to find some place for her son, even though he was not here.

"Haha!" Xinti laughed even louder, thinking that the old lady was really funny.

In this courtyard, there are actually only the old lady and the new emperor. They are chatting, and no one will be allowed around.But there must be someone outside.

In such a short time, the new emperor had already laughed twice. Outside, Eunuch Xia, brother Jia She, and Zhang Zhen all looked at each other in confusion.

Especially Zhang Zhen. He came back with Jia Yuan to pay his birthday, but he heard that the new emperor had also arrived and was talking to the old lady.Jia Yuan took the child to find the sister. He waited outside the small courtyard with his father-in-law and the others, watching from a distance. When the new emperor and the old lady were talking, both of them were very relaxed.Seeing the new emperor's smile, he could only swallow his saliva.

Although I knew that the old lady Jian was in the emperor's heart, I really didn't expect that the relationship between the two was so good.My admiration for the old lady has really grown to a new level. (End of chapter)
