Chapter 124 Daily life of husband and wife!
After a while, around [-]:[-] pm, the afterglow of the setting sun began to spread across the sky, and when there was a glowing red sunset glow, Xia Yu entered the house, and first reported a series of medicinal food names for nourishing, nourishing and nourishing the body, and then said with a smile.
"The second wife is here to see the princess, why don't you just stay in Rongxi hall for dinner."
Naturally, Wang Nianhui understood what Xia Yu meant to see off the guests, so she immediately pursed her lips and smiled. "Aunt Xia Yu is too polite. I would like to stay and eat with the princess, but the concubine's service is indispensable at the second master's place. Therefore, the concubine will not disturb the princess's rest, so I will go back to serve the second master."
Mei Mei pursed her lips and smiled, and did not leave Wang Nianhui to sit for a while, she just said dryly: "Come here, send off the Second Wife and Sister Yuan Chun."
After Wang Nianhui left in a hurry like when he came, Xia Yu asked the little maid to bring in a cup of fresh medicinal soup made by herself.
The herbal soup made by Xia Yu herself has a strong medicinal taste, because there are medicinal materials added in it, so the taste is a bit strange.Bitter, sweet, even a little salty.Mei Mei reluctantly took a few mouthfuls, then stopped eating, and only used the soup spoon to stir the medicinal soup in the bowl.
"Princess, what is the second wife doing here? Why did I hear Xiao Honger say that the second wife only said some nonsensical words, as if she came to chat with the princess."
"She's here to help with the household chores." After Wu Mei motioned the little maid to take out all the uneaten medicinal soup, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said slowly: "By the way, tell me that Yuan Chun is no longer Yuan Chun." Sister's name, from now on Jia Yuan will be Yuan Chun's name."
"Jia Yuan? The Second Master Zheng took it?" Xia Yu muttered, "Why does this name sound weird?"
Charming became curious, and hurriedly said: "What kind of strange method?"
"The word Yuan sounds the same as resentment. The second master of Zheng gave Yuan Chun such a big name. He didn't resent the second wife for looking for trouble and denied the old lady's wishes. That's why he gave Yuan Chun the word 'Yuan'. Make a name for yourself."
Wu Mei didn't think of this before, but now that Xia Yu said it so eloquently, she felt more and more that the word 'Yuan' was not good.But seeing Wang Nianhui's performance today, Wang Nianhui himself should think that the name Jia Yuan is very good, so she said with a charming smile.
"Come on, don't talk about these gods and gods, be careful if this word spreads, and it will make Wang angry again. It would be bad if all these moths come out. After all, I am confinement, and I am not in the mood to pay attention to these things. .”
"Princess usually doesn't pay much attention to the second room." Xia Yu muttered, seeing that Mei Mei had already looked at her with supercilious eyes, she stuck out her tongue playfully, and said, "Princess, take a good rest. After everything is taken care of by Sister Chunyu and I, He hurried out of the room.
Seeing Xia Yu's disappearing back quickly, Mei Mei couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, and cursed "Ghost girl." 'At this time, I saw a echoing voice from inside the bed, "It's indeed a ghost girl." Charming narrowed her eyes for a moment, her movements seemed elegant but were very rough, and she lifted the huddled Sky Snake out of the quilt. .
"When did you run back? Didn't you tell you to keep an eye on the East Palace all the time?"
"Eastern Palace is watched by my snake tribe. Even if they want to jump over the wall, they can't find it." Heavenly Snake twisted its body, but found that it still couldn't break free, so it had to straighten its body, just like vertical noodles , pitifully said: "Didn't Xiaotian miss the master, that's why he ran back. Just now Xiaotian was sleeping with the master under the same quilt, and I didn't see any unwilling reaction from the master..."
I was asleep and didn't realize...
Elegantly rolling her eyes, Charming let go, letting the Heavenly Snake thump and fall onto the quilt and coiled into a ball, and said to the Heavenly Snake with earnestness and earnestness: "Brother, keep an eye on it, you are smart anyway, don't care about others Whatever you do, you will quickly understand what it means, and find out what is wrong. With you in the East Palace, I don't have to worry about the safety of Yu'er and Yu'er."
The Heavenly Snake stuck its head out from the coiled body, and nodded in a very humane manner.As a natural beast of the Heavenly Snake, she has traveled to many worlds with Mei Mei, so she is naturally very smart, so she also understands why Mei Mei made her focus on the Eastern Palace.
"Master, Xiaotian will go back to the East Palace right now. If there is anything wrong, Xiaotian will ask his subordinates to report to the master."
Sky Snake flicked its head, and instantly disappeared from the quilt of the bed.She yawned a few times charmingly, then lay back under the quilt, closed her eyelids, and soon fell asleep.
A night without dreams.In the early morning, Meimei was woken up by the hunger in her stomach.After Wu Mei said the meal was delivered, a maid brought in an old hen stewed with ginseng and yam that had been simmering over low heat all night until the chicken bones were crispy.
Charming first ate the crispy stewed chicken in the soup, and then drank the chicken soup in small sips.While drinking, Jia She, who was dressed in casual clothes, suddenly rushed in from the outside, startling the little maid serving the charming meal.
"Why did the son-in-law come in?" Mei Mei said happily.
The room where women give birth has always smelled of blood.Charming gave birth yesterday, and even though the whole room was scented with non-harmful incense after giving birth, there was still a bloody smell faintly because of the closed doors and windows.People in the officialdom pay attention to taboos, and charming also pays attention to taboos, because they are afraid that the bloody blood produced during childbirth will affect Jia She, so Jia She comes in suddenly, and although You Mei is happy, she still advises Jia She not to stay in the room for a long time.
Jia Amnesty never cared about these things.Yesterday, Mei Mei gave birth, Jia Amnesty actually wanted to accompany the delivery, but Yu Mei gave birth so quickly, at that time he was watching a play and having tea with Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion next door, and rushed back after receiving the news, Mei Mei had already given birth up.And after hugging Brother Hu and Sister Qi, he was "ordered" by the charming to go to the palace to announce the good news, and took the eldest daughter Jia Guan home by the way, so Jia She didn't think of it until today when he had breakfast alone. , He hasn't told his princess daughter-in-law how hard it is.
"Princess, you have worked hard. Seeing Brother Hu and Sister Qi for my husband, my heart is really warm." Jia She has a smile on his brows and eyes, obviously the joy has not faded, and he is still thinking about the future. happy.
Jia She's like this, but Mei Mei felt a little bit of self-blame in her heart. If she had known that Jia She wanted to have a son so much, she should have stuffed Brother Hu into her stomach when she gave birth to Guan Guan, so that her first child would be a dragon and a phoenix. effect, not just now.One must know that Jia She is six years older than Mei Mei, now Mei Mei is 22 years old, Jia She is about to turn [-], and Jia Hu is the eldest son, compared to already having two sons and a daughter, his wife Hou Meili is pregnant with a child It is estimated that Wang Zisheng will also be a brother. It is not surprising that Jia She hopes to have a son so much!After all, Jia Zheng's eldest son, Jia Zhu, was already five years old and actually seven years old.
Mei Mei blamed herself a little, and secretly decided that the remaining three sons and one daughter should be combined into two or two.As for the discrepancy between the age and the original book, Jia Yingchun in the original book has been turned into Jia Lian's sister anyway, so what does it matter if Jia Lian was born a few years earlier than in the original book? The fate between husband and wife is directly broken!
After deciding to give birth to the next child, Wu Mei hurriedly said to Jia She: "I don't know if the son-in-law has seen the faces of Brother Hu and Sister Qi. Sister Qi looks five or six points like his wife. But Brother Qi, looking left and right for his wife, feels that he looks neither like a wife nor like a son-in-law, but somewhat similar to his father."
"Like my father..."
Jia She's eyes widened in an instant, and said a little strangely: "I'm afraid Mei Niang is joking, it's just father's shoehorn...cough, that face shape, brother Hu doesn't look like father."
"If the son-in-law says it doesn't look like it, then it doesn't look like it."
Charming changed her words very unprincipled, and she didn't care about the "shoehorn" face that Jia She had blurted out earlier, because this unfilial daughter of Charming also felt that Emperor Wen's face was the same as a shoehorn, and people couldn't bear it at first sight. Keep printing on your shoes.
"It doesn't look like it at all," Jia She said with a serious face, "My husband thinks that Brother Hu looks a bit like his uncle..."
In fact, Emperor Wen and Shui Chen are somewhat similar, but the face shape is different, the shape of the eyes is also different, and the temperament of the father and son is different, so this makes Shui Chen look like the deceased Yuan Empress. illusion.So Jia She said that Brother Hu looks like Shui Chen, and also explained that Brother Hu looks like Emperor Wen from another aspect.
Fortunately, brother Hu has a standard round bun face. Even if he grows crooked in the future, he will not grow into the shoehorn face of Emperor Wen. Otherwise, he can't be said to be charming. Stuffed back into the oven and rebuilt.
Jia Amnesty talked with Wu Mei for a while in the delivery room, and then a servant shouted 'Master' loudly at the door.Jia Amnesty expected something to happen, said something to Mei Mei, and walked out of the delivery room.
The young man was a little anxious standing on the steps, and when he saw Jia Amnesty coming out, he rushed forward and said repeatedly.
"The clerk came to the yamen of the household department, and said that he wanted to ask the uncle himself, why don't you cancel the leave and come to the household department to do errands?"
Jia She was stunned for a moment, and then said in a dazed way: "Wait a minute, I remember that I'm just doing some idle work, so why do I need to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs to cancel my leave?"
He worked in the household department because of the oppression of his elder brother, no, it was reused; but now the prince no longer takes the job in the household department, and he, the poor little man who works behind the prince's ass, should also be liberated. What the hell is going to the household department to do errands after selling holidays?
Jia She, who never expected this drama to happen, raised his head suspiciously and scanned the sky, only to find that the sun was there, why would someone be talking in sleep!
Jia Amnesty didn't believe what the boy said, and the boy who came to shout out didn't believe what he said too much.It's just that the guard who was waiting for the reply was still waiting at the gate, so the little servant said in a particularly weeping voice:
"Master, the younger one did not lie. The guard is waiting at the gate. If the master doesn't believe it, you might as well follow the younger one to the gate to ask the guard for clarification."
Jia She was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his leg and kicked the boy, "Since the guard is waiting at the gate, why didn't you tell the master earlier."
The little boy clutched his sore butt and wanted to cry, but the uncle didn't believe that he was venting his anger like this, the little one told you a long time ago, it was the uncle who dragged his time and didn't believe it.
"Okay, don't put on such a ghostly look, and lead the way."
Seen speechless by the boy's mournful eyes, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to go to the gate.As a result, there were indeed two guards waiting at the gate. Judging by the way they walked back and forth, there was probably something urgent.
"What's the matter!" Jia Amnesty asked like a grandpa with his hands behind his back.
One of the servants who was relatively fat said: "Master, the younger one is an official of the Ministry of Punishment..."
"Wait a minute..." Jia She interrupted the officer: "Why did the officials from your Ministry of Punishment come to see you? You just took a idle job. Even if you worked with the crown prince for a period of time, it was still in the Ministry of Household Affairs. You Why did the officials from the Ministry of Punishments come to see you, you must have made a mistake!"
Another servant who was relatively thinner hurriedly said: "It was Jia Shilang who asked us to come to Rongguo Mansion to invite the son-in-law to the Ministry of Punishment. Jia Shilang said that he had something important to ask the son-in-law. did something."
It is true that I have been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice...
But the problem is, when he skipped work at leisure and even His Royal Highness didn't bother to ask him much, Jia Jing deliberately asked someone to come to the Ministry of Punishment to ask him something, he must be uneasy and kind.Jia She had a premonition that if he went, he would probably fall into the quagmire of the Ministry of Punishment and be as busy as when he first arrived at the Ministry of Households, so Jia She was very shameless and took the princess who just gave birth to twins for him, He wants to stay home and take care of the children as an excuse to let this fat and thin servant go back to where he came from.
The two servants, one fat and one thin, were helpless, but who would let someone be a son-in-law? When they met such an honorable person who liked to say shameless words, what could they do as two little servants? They had to come After saying, "My son-in-law take good care of the children at home", I hurried back to report to Jia Jing.
Jia Jing, who really asked Jia Amnesty to discuss something, was helpless when he heard the replies from the two guards. This kid is really getting more and more lazy and shameless. It's hard for him to find such an excuse to avoid laziness.
Jia Jing had no choice but to get out of the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. When returning home, he didn't go back to Ningguo Mansion, but directly went to the gate of Rongguo Mansion next door.
"What brought you here? Dear Second Brother Jing, isn't he busy with errands, so busy that sometimes he ordered a meal in a restaurant and ate it in the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? Why come to my cousin when you have time?"
Jia Jing glanced at him, took a sip of tea, a sip of snacks, and put a few idle books on the table next to him. Jia She, who was living a relaxed and comfortable life, smiled a little coolly: "Didn't you say that you are taking care of the child, child where?"
"Second brother Jing is so boring with my younger brother." Jia She was not at all shy and embarrassed when a lie was exposed. I have put them to sleep before, Second Brother Jing naturally has not seen them now..."
"Well, you have always been a lot of nonsense, I can't tell you. If you say you are taking care of the children, then I will take it as if you are really taking care of the children. "
Jia Jing took a seat on the teacher's chair beside him.Silver ingots poured tea quickly, and copper coins quickly served melon and fruit snacks, and then they all exited the study room and stood guard at the door.At this time, Jia Jing took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Recently, there are a lot of things in the criminal department, and the manpower is not enough..."
Jia She was silent for a while, pretending not to know what Jia Jing meant by saying this, and said in amazement: "If there is not enough manpower, let the Ministry of Officials arrange people. You have the list of Jinshi and scholar who have passed the imperial examination in the past but have not yet been appointed. If the Ministry of Punishment is short of manpower, just ask the Ministry of Officials. It is useless for you to tell your brother-in-law, who is doing idle work, that the Ministry of Punishment is not manned enough!"
Jia Jing glared at Jia She, who was not stingy. In the past, it was indeed the responsibility of the Ministry of Officials to appoint and dismiss civilian officials other than the Ministry of War. There were so many ministers implicated in the court, and all the princes who served in the six ministries were all dismissed from their positions, and each of them was fined to think behind closed doors and restricted from going out easily.
At this moment when everyone is in danger and everyone is clenching their tails and learning how to be a human being, those old fritters in the official department dare not easily admit that you are short of people and ask for manpower. Emperor Wen's sensitive nerves.For the civil and military officials who are trembling now, being punished to go home and eat themselves is a trivial matter. They are afraid that Emperor Wen, who has nowhere to vent his anger, will play his foolish character and let their whole family settle down in the underworld.
"The Criminal Department is really short of manpower!"
Jia Jing let out a nerve-racking sigh, and Jia Amnesty followed suit, saying in a very apologetic tone, "Second Brother Jing, I really don't have time for my cousin."
Jia Jing sneered back directly, apparently not believing Jia Amnesty's dishonest words.
But this can't be blamed for Jia Jing's attitude, because who doesn't know that Jia She, the son-in-law, is the most leisurely and enjoyable family member of the emperor, even if he worked with the Crown Prince in the household department years ago , that busyness was also due to His Royal Highness staring at him, and Jia Amnesty's failure to paddle effectively.
"Brother Pardon..." Jia Jing took another sip of tea, trying to sound as calm as possible. "Brother Sheen, you worked in the Ministry of Criminal Justice at first, and you did a good job. So when the Ministry of Criminal Justice lacks people, Brother Wei is the first person who thinks of you. Brother She is sincere and serious, and never disappoints people easily. Brother She I trust you, so I went to the criminal department to help, so that all kinds of criminal cases can be concluded as soon as possible, brother pardon will do my part."
Jia Amnesty: "..."
Dear, don't put such a high hat on Grandpa, Grandpa is just a bastard, ah, not stingy, and he can't take such a heavy responsibility.
"Second brother respect..." Jia She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said carefully: "Do you know what a surprise it is to have a precious son, especially when you are about to turn 23. The princess made love to me at the age of ten, and married me at the age of sixteen. Me. I gave birth to my eldest daughter when I was 28, and I was [-] at the time. Now my cousin is [-] before I hugged my first son. It was a big surprise. You know, after Min'er married Lin Ruhai, but Hug two in three years."
(Now Jia Min has only given birth to one child, and the saying that she has been pregnant for three years is that she is still pregnant with one child.)
Jia Jing was speechless, and it took a long time before he said quietly: "Is it related to whether you are going to work in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs that you are so happy with your son?"
"It's irrelevant." Jia She frowned, and said shamelessly, "I'm so happy, but I can't get any interest in doing things. I just want to stay at home and take care of the children."
"..."
Jia Jing choked on Jia Amnesty's shameless words on the spot.However, Jia Jing is an old fritter in the officialdom, and he quickly changed his way: "It seems that being a brother doesn't make sense to you, so I can only ask the crown prince to help. After all, the crown prince is also very concerned about the recent cooperation with the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The case is under review by the government."
Brother Jing, if it doesn't make sense, change it to a threat!But he, Jia Amnesty, still has to be threatened by this. The only prince he is afraid of is his righteous and serious brother-in-law.
Jia She sighed deeply, and had no choice but to say: "Second Brother Jing, you won. Brother, I will go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to help. But it's time, I will go after Ming'er Hu and Qi's three banquets are over." how?"
Since Jia She agreed, Jia Jing didn't mind waiting a day or two longer, after all, he would also like to attend the third feast of the twins' bathing, so Jia Jing smiled and said: "With the help of Brother She, I will definitely be able to make it happen." Due to the lack of manpower, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has piled up cases to be dealt with as soon as possible."
After getting a satisfactory result, Jia Jing left the study and went to Rongqing Hall to pay his respects to Jia Mu.After all, Mother Jia is an elder, and it is rare for him to go to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, so it would be inappropriate not to greet Mother Jia.
Mother Jia has been feeling a little unwell these days, so when Jia Jing came to greet her, she looked a bit sleepy, and said in a non-enthusiastic way: "Boy Jing Er is here."
"My nephew came to the mansion to discuss matters with Brother She, so I naturally came to say hello to my aunt." Jia Jing said respectfully but with a little distance: "Brother Zheng, doesn't it mean that he will come to sit with aunt every day when he returns home from work?" For a while, why didn't my nephew see him?"
"The second child has just left. After all, there is not enough time to rest due to busy work. Auntie, an old woman, is unwilling to miss the rest of the second child just to have a rule that can be obeyed or not."
When Jia Zheng was mentioned, Jia's mother's spirits improved a bit, and she pulled Jia Jing to talk for a while about Jia Zheng's hard work.Jia Jing was helpless, wouldn't he know if Jia Zheng's Ministry of Industry was busy? It was just that Jia Jing was talking in front of Jia's mother in Rongqingtang, and Jia Jing would not give Jia's mother face, so Jia Jing had no choice but to flatter a few words, and then found an opportunity to say goodbye to Jia Mu and went back to Ningguo Mansion next door.
The second day was the third day after the twins Jia Hu and Jia Qi were born. In view of the big event that happened last year, there was no festive event at all. Emperor Wen made up his mind to hold a big wash and a full moon banquet, so before dawn, officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs gathered at the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
"What are you doing?"
Jia Amnesty was really puzzled by Monk Zhang Er. He looked at the Ministry of Rites and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a speechless manner. Qiqi arranged the Rongguo Mansion, and said helplessly, "As for it, isn't it just three banquets?"
An official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was acquainted with Jia Amnesty sneaked in and said: "In the eyes of the son-in-law, it is true that it is a three-feast feast. It doesn't matter if it is a big deal or not. It's just the son-in-law. The princess gave birth to twins. The great auspiciousness has to make a fuss anyway. In this way, Long Live Lord will feel comfortable, and his mood will become better." And once Long Live Lord's mood improves, their life will not have to be so trembling.
Jia She said hehehe: "You guys are right, but..."
The official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wiped his sweat: "My lord, please don't let me down. If you say it makes me terrified, you can rest assured that we will arrange the Xisan Banquet properly for my little brother and young lady."
"That's fine." Jia She gave a vague grace: "Let me be gentle with my actions. Don't forget that the princess is still in confinement. If you disturb the princess, you can wait until the princess is confinement." Let's pick you up one by one."
Jia Amnesty spoke very loudly, and almost all the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs who were busy heard it.All of them felt chills on their backs and tensed their chrysanthemums. They were always in a bad mood, always irritable, and would go crazy from time to time. It's not easy to mess with.So for a moment all the officials in the busy Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs couldn't help but slow down, trying to handle it with care, but they quickly arranged the open-air dam outside the South Hall of Rongguo Mansion to look brand new.
