Walking into the Red Mansion starts from the maid

"Why do you seem to have something to say?"

"I..." Mrs. Wang drooped her eyes in shame, "I'm afraid the old lady will get angry when she hears this."

"It doesn't matter!" The old lady said in her heart, knowing that I don't like to hear it, didn't you come too?
"The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, and it has boundless blessings. But there are some famines outside. This year, we have a lot of income and little income. The eldest sister alone has as much as a million taels...Old lady, The daughter-in-law is really powerless."

"What's more, the master... If any of us had the ability of the old lady back then, our house would not be where it is today."

Mrs. Wang bit her lip, lowered her head as if wiping her tears, obviously resentful of Jia Zheng's public quarrel with her.Now that what he said was true and false, he couldn't even tell the difference.

I only know in my heart that if this family continues to manage, I am afraid that it will soon be stretched.

"Hey!" The old lady sighed heavily, with both shock and anger in her heart, she asked Mrs. Wang, "Man should worry about these things outside, and there is really nothing we can do in the rear. Do you think, right now? How can I?"

As her daughter-in-law, she always likes to say that three points of difficulties are seven points, although it is true that the emperor looks down on the Jia family's children.

At this time, Mrs. Wang remembered that when she first married, she and Jia Zheng also had a honeymoon, otherwise how could they have three children in succession?At that time, there were piles of gold and jade, bead lamps and silver chariots. Every time the happy life went smoothly, I thought about the many benefits of Jia Zheng's gentleness and consideration.

Now it's time to call the one surnamed Zhao!
Looking back on the past, the family that has been in business for a hundred years is sometimes stretched, but now the whole family is only relying on her Yuanchun.

And she hasn't seen Yuan Chun for ten years now, how can a mother like her not be heartbroken?
Therefore, her sad expression indeed revealed the true feelings of sadness, which touched Jia Mu even more when she was old and bereaved.

"Old lady!" Mrs. Wang choked up and said, "In case the empress has something in the palace, is there still a lintel of our huge Duke's mansion to see?"

As he said that, he told Jiamu about the recent big expenses one by one, especially the sentence: Supervisor Xia is more and more disregarding the master's face. One or two thousand taels of offerings must be collected from the house.

It made Jia Mu shocked.

She remembered that when she was young, her father always calmly told her the stories in "Tong Jian".Over time, she has a general understanding of the rise and fall of the dynasties, and the gains and losses of the family.As for the past events of the change of dictatorship and the killing of courtiers, I also know a few things roughly.

Dukes Ning and Rong also did His Majesty's humerus back then, now that His Majesty is old, and the two are far away, can Jia and Shi's family still get the humerus?Thinking of this, the old lady broke out in a cold sweat. She never thought that one day, she would face the threat of being controlled by others in this "power change"!

"Where are Zheng'er and Shei'er today?" the old lady asked with her brows furrowed.

Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and said with a slight sneer: "I said I went to swim in the lake, but whenever I have some free time, I said I would go out for an outing to find fragrance. I see, there are no flowers and flowers to admire, maybe there are some outside." The vixen is so entangled that people can't get away!"

The old lady didn't take Mrs. Wang's harsh and sarcastic tone seriously, but what she said pierced into Jia Mu's heart.It is useless for Jia to pardon Jia Zheng. One is addicted to wine and sex, and the other is mediocre. The only skill is to have two outstanding children, Yuanchun and Baoyu.

Therefore, even the old lady who doted on her children couldn't help but spit: "These two people are really nothing!"

Mrs. Wang didn't care about the situation of her husband's family. She had excellent children, capable brothers, and a dowry like mountains and seas. How could she really be afraid of Jia Zheng's face?
But she immediately followed up with a curse.

Fortunately, the old lady interrupted, so the housekeeper's pair of cards and the bad-hearted daughter-in-law were sent away completely.

"Is what the second wife said true? Is it really this serious?" Yuanyang asked calmly after removing the cold bird's nest porridge and replacing it with six new side dishes.

The old lady knew what she was asking, and waved her hand to express that she didn't want to eat anymore. After a long while, she said slowly: "It's somewhat true, but it shouldn't be that serious. For people like us, as long as we don't go greedy for the food that comes from the dragon." There is absolutely no reason to capsize the ship. It’s just that something happened, and she feels bad.”

After thinking for a while, he said again: "Speaking of which, your second master is really outrageous, Yuanyang, you can pick and choose, and make a gift for the second wife, so that she can feel at ease."

The old lady's voice was firm, and she clearly stated that she didn't want to be a housekeeper.With Yuanchun sitting in the palace, even the granddaughter-in-law can take care of things in the family, if she intervenes, she is afraid that things will not be done well, and there will be a lot of trouble first.

Thinking about it, a drop of clear tears overflowed from the corner of his cloudy eyes, and then he fell sideways on the armchair with a bang.

"Old lady!" Yuanyang was so frightened that her eyes turned red, and immediately shouted loudly to call for Doctor Wang, go and call for Doctor Wang!

When Jia Zheng and his brothers arrived at Jia's Mother's Courtyard, the girls and young masters were scattered all over the yard. Even Jia Lan, a little boy who rarely went out on weekdays, stood tremblingly by the side holding the table.

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Lan and walked into the room.

When I arrived at Dongnuang Pavilion, I looked in through the curtains, and saw the old lady lying on a soft armchair, stretching out a hand, calling for doctor Wang to diagnose her pulse.

Xu came here from the imperial hospital. Doctor Wang was dressed in a dark blue official uniform, with a hunched posture, looking straight at his nose and heart, with a solemn and calm face, but the sweat dripped from his forehead, and the three fingers on his wrist were raised. Had to tremble slightly.

This made Daiyu, who was standing in front of her, very uneasy. If it wasn't for her pulse condition, the Imperial Physician would not have to be so alarmed.

She continued to wipe and observed the people present silently. The ladies and daughters almost saw the state of the imperial doctor. The strangeness in the air was swimming, and everyone looked as if they did not dare to breathe. It seems that I can hear my own heartbeat.

The tense atmosphere was followed by Doctor Wang's sigh, which made everyone's hearts hang high in fright, almost jumping out of their throats.

Mrs. Wang held a handkerchief and silently recited a few words of Amitabha to the air, and hurriedly asked, "How?"

Physician Wang made a bow to the old lady, then nodded to Jia She and his brothers, and said, "The old lady is fine."

These few words were like the spring breeze blowing on the face, and the clothes in the room were stirred like a glacier thawing. First, Jia Zheng stepped forward and almost knelt down in front of the old lady.

He looked at the old lady with admiration, and said affectionately, "Mother."

Jia Amnesty pulled the imperial physician and asked: "The old lady fainted today, what is the reason? You just say it, so we can rest assured."

Doctor Wang is a member of the palace, and the people he deals with on weekdays are all His Majesty's concubines. He has a three-point art in speaking, and he never dares to be sure. It is the season when the sun is flourishing in the earth, bleeding and hurting the qi. The old lady fainted because of fatigue and hurting the qi."

"Then, how to treat it?"

"Naturally, meditation and recuperation is the first priority. Medicines are only auxiliary after all. In addition, Mrs. Tai is getting old..."

"Retreat! Retreat!" Jia She suddenly took off his hat and said furiously, "I think you can only say these two words!"

Doctor Wang felt that he was right, but he was too suppressed by the Duke's coercion to open his mouth, so he obediently rummaged through the medicine box he carried with him, trying to write down today's pulse.

Fortunately, the old lady was still awake, and she spoke to stop it, so as not to cause an even more ugly deadlock.So Mrs. Wang took advantage of the situation and said, "Please ask the imperial doctor to drink a cup of tea, so that I can calmly draw up the prescription."

The old doctor got the steps and went to the cubicle in a hurry. At this moment, Mrs. Lai led Lai Shangrong to Jiamuyuan.
