Chapter 500 Chapter 500
After Mrs. Zhang was able to walk around in the field, she still went to the main courtyard once a day in the morning and evening.In the morning, when Mother Jia listened to the affairs of the steward's daughter-in-law and the housekeeper, she didn't drive her away, but she didn't explain to her either.There are some things that she can only figure out in private and come back to discuss with Mother Luo.
Nanny Luo persuaded her, "Grandma, Madam has allowed you to listen. If you don't understand, just ask. You will be asked to take over the housekeeping at the end of winter. There are many things in the twelfth lunar month. If you have a good relationship with the mansion, give gifts or something. If it is a little bit, it will make relatives and friends unhappy."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said to Nanny Luo: "Ma'am, you don't have to worry about giving gifts. The year before last, my wife asked me to copy the gift list. I have copied all the gifts in the past few years."
Nanny Luo recited the sound of Buddha, "Grandma, my wife treats you like this, you should think about how to thank my wife."
Mrs. Zhang has never done any sewing for her mother-in-law since she entered the house. On Jia Mu's birthday, the gifts given by the couple are all arranged by Jia She.
"Mommy, what do you want to give?" Mrs. Zhang frowned and asked.
When Nanny Luo saw her embarrassed look, she understood what was going on, she sighed in her heart, the wife had been unlucky for eight lifetimes, marrying such a daughter-in-law.But she couldn't ignore the end, so she had to pick up what Zhang could listen to.
"When grandma was at her mother's house, did you ever pay attention to the seasonal things that the uncle and wife gave the old lady?"
When Luo Mama reminded her, Mrs. Zhang blushed after thinking about it for a while.
"Underwear, outer clothes, forehead wipes, cloak, shoes and socks..." As she spoke, her voice became softer, as if the sisters-in-law had wrapped up all the mother's clothes after they entered the door.
"It's good that grandma understands. Tomorrow, I will go to the sewing room to get my wife's size. Grandma will make two pairs of thick socks for my wife first. It's cold, and making thick socks is in season and easy to make. I'll be free later. Make two more sets of underwear for the wife. What does grandma think?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded, thought about it and said, "Look at the forehead wipe I made a few days ago, if there is a matching gem in the middle, can it be given to my wife?"
Nanny Luo knew that the sapphire blue forehead wipe was intended to be given by Mrs. Zhang to her own mother, and she embroidered it with great care stitch by stitch.She got up and went to wipe the forehead for Mrs. Zhang, but what she thought in her heart was that the eldest grandma knew everything, why she had been fooling around with her wife like that for ten years in secret.
The simple reason why Mrs. Zhang is willing to do this now is that she found that her husband's attitude towards her mother-in-law has changed.
Mrs. Zhang asked the maid to go to her private treasury, dig out the box of gems that Jia She gave her a few years ago, and compare them one by one to see which one is suitable.The master and servant discussed until the end, and chose a gemstone that was blue, as deep as sea water, and the size of a pigeon egg.
"Grandma, I need to send someone out to find a craftsman who can do it in the silver building, and drill a few holes in the side so that it can be attached to the forehead."
"Yeah. When Shizi comes back at night, let Shizi find someone."
Mrs. Zhang wrapped the things in handkerchiefs, put them aside, and started looking for suitable fabrics to make socks for her mother-in-law.When Jia Amnesty came in, he saw Zhang's large kang covered with many kinds of fine cotton cloths of various colors.
"Yizhen, what are you going to do?" Jia She was a little surprised that his wife laid out so many fabrics, because Mrs. Zhang seldom did needlework. Except for his underwear, everything else was handed over to the maids in the yard, as well as needlework. room.
"Husband, you are back." Mrs. Zhang pulled the fabrics together smoothly, then raised her smiling face and said to her husband, "It's getting cold, I want to make two pairs of thick socks for my mother."
Jia Amnesty was stunned by Zhang's words, making socks for mother?It's like telling him it's going to be thunder and rain in winter.
"Enhou, what are you doing looking at me like this? Don't you want me to do it?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing.
"No, no." Jia Amnesty quickly expressed his attitude.
"I'm just wondering why you thought of this." Jia Amnesty felt strange from the bottom of his heart.
"I just lay on the kang a few days ago and couldn't move, so I embroidered a forehead for my mother. I want to send it to my mother today, but I feel that a single forehead is a little short. After thinking about it, Luo Nanny said God It's getting cold, I suggest that I make two pairs of thick socks."
Mrs. Zhang took the things wrapped in her handkerchief and unfolded them for Jia Amnesty to see.
"Husband, do you think this forehead looks good? Will mother like it?"
Jia Amnesty took it and pretended to see if his mother would like it, he really didn't know.But the wife is willing to embroider such a beautiful forehead with all her heart, and the mother should like it.
"Mother should like it."
Mrs. Zhang pointed at the empty place in the middle, "I want to adorn a blue gem here. Look at this one, it was picked from the box of gems that my husband gave me a few years ago. Now I have to trouble my husband Yinlou, drill a few holes around this gem."
Mrs. Zhang pointed out the sapphire to Jia She while she was talking, and told him where to drill the hole.
After Jia Amnesty understood, he promised Mrs. Zhang to deal with the gem as soon as possible.Holding the sapphire in his hand, he left the east courtyard with mixed feelings.
The wife knows how to honor her mother without reminding herself.So why did my wife not do these things before?
A day later, Jia Amnesty handed over the drilled gemstone to Mrs. Zhang, and he watched Mrs. Zhang carefully sew the gemstone to the middle of the forehead.Then stretch with both hands and compare it on your forehead.
"Husband, is it pretty?"
With crooked smiling eyes and sweet dimples, Jia She felt that Zhang's appearance like this was the sweet and cute little junior sister he first met.
"It's beautiful. Yizhen's hands are so skillful." Jia Amnesty praised his wife from the bottom of his heart.
Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Husband, after I finish mother's socks, I will sew you a new set of clothes."
"I have too many clothes, don't be tired."
Such a wife made Jia Amnesty feel warm in his heart.
Jia Amnesty watched as his wife wrapped the forehead mop, and then wrapped the two pairs of socks that had just been made.
"Yizhen, do you want to take it with you in a while and give it to your mother?"
"That's right, the concubine is worried because she is afraid that her mother will not like it." Mrs. Zhang felt a little uneasy, she was afraid that her mother-in-law would not give her face.
"Mother will like it. We'll go over early to say hello later."
Go there earlier, if it's just you and your wife, even if your mother is unhappy, there won't be a second room to see your husband and wife lose face.
Mrs. Zhang nodded, feeling that her husband's proposal was very good.She immediately changed her clothes, took her things, and went to the main courtyard with her husband.The couple walked and chatted.
"You listen to your mother's housekeeper these days, but you understand everything?"
Mrs. Zhang frowned, feeling a little worried, "There are still some things I don't quite understand."
Then her voice dropped, "Mom doesn't seem to want me to ask questions."
In fact, Mrs. Zhang dared not ask questions.
Jia Amnesty knew what it was for, so he could only comfort Mrs. Zhang, "Maybe you'll understand after listening to it a few more times. Otherwise, write down everything you don't understand, and when I come back, we can figure it out together. If you still can't do it, you can ask your mother."
Mrs. Zhang looked up, smiling like a flower, "Thank you husband."
Jia Amnesty could only sigh inwardly. The mother said that she would teach Mrs. Zhang, which seemed to be true.Does this count as self-inflicted evil!
When it comes to rest and holidays, it will be the day for Jia Amnesty to treat guests. Those who receive the invitations are all relatives of him, and they will come on time.
Because they are all juniors, when they arrived at Rongguo Mansion, according to the usual etiquette, they first went to see Jia Daishan, and then went to the inner hall to meet Jia Mu.The Zhang brothers came early, and Jia Amnesty accompanied the two brothers to see Jia Daishan first.
After taking his seat, Jia Daishan asked Zhang Zan, "Jichen, Enhou told me that you are going to the Imperial Academy, can you brothers discuss it?"
Zhang Zan was a little embarrassed, "Uncle Shi, this junior is reckless. If he stays in the Ministry of Punishment, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the position of the servant, and he may be involved in other matters."
Jia Daishan frowned, "But what's wrong with you?"
"That's not true. It's just that the Ministry of Criminal Justice is no better than Yushitai, and colleagues are quarreling. Well, it's also the personality of the younger generation. It's really hard to stay in the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
"Okay, I understand. But if you give up the opportunity to compete for the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment at this time, it will be difficult to have such a smooth opportunity to get the third-rank official title in the future."
Zhang Zan nodded with a wry smile, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "This junior has troubled Uncle Shi, thank you Uncle Shi for taking care of me."
Jia Daishan waved his hand, "You're welcome. I don't know how many people are there now. They are looking for Hao Shangshu to squeeze into the Ministry of Criminal Justice. You go out to the Imperial Academy to give others a place. It shouldn't be difficult for him to arrange you there. Okay, this matter Son, you don't have to worry about it. Enhou, you accompany your uncle to meet your mother in the back. "
Following Wang Ziteng who came to the door, Jia Daishan still took good care of Wang Ziteng these years. Under his care, Wang Ziteng got along like a fish in water in the military camp and went very smoothly.
"Uncle Shi, this junior greets you."
Jia Daishan looked at Wang Ziteng full of vigor, and then looked at the second son standing next to Wang Ziteng. He was not powerful and elegant, and he was overwhelmed by Wang Ziteng's aura. He talked to Wang Ziteng briefly, and he disappeared Feel free to gossip.
"Cunzhou, you accompany your uncle to see your mother, and then accompany your uncle back to the yard."
Jia Zheng responded and led the prince to vacate Rongxi hall.
The arrival of Lin Hai made Jia Daishan laugh from the bottom of his heart, it is better to choose his own son-in-law.And Lin Hai respected his father-in-law very much, and Weng and his son-in-law chatted affectionately.
While chatting, Jia Jing and Shi Jia brothers went to Rongguo Mansion one after another.Jia Daishan could only end the conversation resentfully, and asked someone to greet Jia She to come over, and accompany these people to the inner house.
But he himself immediately got up and took people out of the Rongguo Mansion and went to the palace
Holidays, for most officials, can be a good day off.But for the sage, there was never a day when he could put aside his political affairs and rest assured.
The sage was diligent in political affairs, and the prince followed the sage to work overtime in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The little servant came in quietly and reported to Liang Jiu, "Duke Rong is here."
Liang Jiu didn't dare to keep Rong Guogong waiting for a long time, he watched the sage's time to report to him, and sure enough, the sage immediately said, "Let him in."
After Jia Daishan had done the salute, the sage asked him, "Old Jia, why are you here today for Xiumu?"
"Oh, don't mention it. The old minister went out with you for half a year, and Enhou has been busy with the prince in the palace. When he was free, he invited his uncle and brother-in-law to the house for a drink. The old minister stayed in the mansion, but let them Don't be arbitrary, just come in to accompany the saint."
The prince heard that Jia Amnesty invited people to drink at home, snorted through his nose, and put the papers he had approved in his hand in the stack waiting for the sage to review.
Seeing his son like this, the sage knew what he was thinking.Forget it, let him spend half a day at leisure.
"Old Jia, lend your bodyguard to Mingyun, let Mingyun come to your house as an unexpected guest."
