Chapter 119 Romance of the Three Kingdoms
When Jia Zhu rushed to Lixiangyuan, the courtyard was quiet. He asked Jin Chuaner that his wife was drunk and drank the sobering soup. No one was there now.
"Where's the eldest girl?"
My sister was probably angry at her mother because of him, so Jia Zhu wanted to comfort her.
“The eldest girl went back to the old lady.”
Jin Chuan'er said honestly: "Master needs slaves..."
"No need!"
Jia Zhu waved her hands hurriedly.
He suddenly remembered that his sister was held by the old lady when she was a child, and she was very close to her aunt, "Serve your wife well, and report anything to me and grandma immediately."
"Yes. ! ”
Jin Chuan'er agreed.
Jia Zhu waved her hands and took Li Wan back to her yard, "I'm just saying, mother must have drank a little too much today."
Li Wan: "..."< br>
She didn’t want to talk.
For a husband, his parents are very good.
"I haven't been back for a long time. Tonight..."
"Master, go to the outer study to sleep!"
What?
Jia Zhu was stunned.
"Uncle..."
Li Wan's voice trembled slightly, "The master and his wife are particularly concerned about your study."
Jia Zhu: "..."
He understood what his wife meant.
Because I understand, I feel even sadder.
They are a couple, but they have been married for more than half a year, and they spend less time together and more time apart.
If he wants to be shameless, he should go to his wife, but he is also afraid that his mother will settle the score with his wife.
That is definitely something a mother can do.
"...I know." Jia Zhu's voice was muffled, "I will take you back to your room first, and then go to the master's place later."
The young couple were silent all the way. As he walked back, he didn't see the woman coming out of Lixiangyuan with them at all.
The woman was accompanied by a little maid. They followed her leisurely for a long time, then turned around as if admiring the scenery, wandering all the way, turning in circles, and then Went to Lixiangyuan.
At this time, Jia Zheng knew that his son had picked up his daughter and was at home tonight, so it was not surprising to see him coming.
"Have you already agreed with your uncle?"
"Yes!"
Jia Zhu was also helpless that her father would live with Aunt Zhao for a long time, but her parents He is not the only son who can comment casually on matters. "Today, the second brother Lian is also with the uncle. When the son went, the uncle was teaching the second brother Lian how to be an official."
Jia Zheng : "..."
He paused while drinking tea, worried that his nephew would know about his words.
Although Lian'er grew up in their second room and has always been close to him and the Wang family, the eldest brother got back to Rongxi Hall, and the eldest sister-in-law of Dongfu and brother-in-law Lin helped him get fat from the Arsenal. No, I'm afraid I'll have to reciprocate the favor or something like that.
Jia Zheng even suspected that Jia Lian's official was the one planned by the two governments and Lin's brother-in-law for Jia Lian.
But they all avoided him.
“So, Lian’er now knows what her father said?”
"No!"
Jia Zhu shook her head, "I just said that my father regretted coming home, and I hope that my uncle can forget your impulsive words. My uncle said that we are all members of the same family, and the parents are short-sighted, so he simply I never cared about it.”
Jia Zheng: “…”
Somewhat relieved, but also a little uncomfortable.
"Zhu'er, what do you think of Lian'er as an official?"
"Very good!"
Jia Zhu was very happy for his brother, "The Arsenal Department has the rules of the Arsenal Department. As long as he follows the rules, there will be nothing wrong."
"... "
Jia Zheng felt a little depressed. If he had joined the Arsenal Department, he would not be where he is today. "What my father asked is, what impact does he have on my Jia family in the Arsenal Department? ." He stared at his son, "Don't tell me, you didn't think of this."
"...My son has thought about it."
The smile on Jia Zhu's face faded slightly, "The Jia family has been suppressed by all parties since Uncle Jing entered the Taoist temple, and it reached its peak this year. First, a merchant from the Li family dared to take advantage of our family, and then Brother Zhen was Thorn..."
When he said this, he was still feeling a little depressed, "The Supreme Emperor and His Majesty also knew this. Nian took the initiative to return the treasury silver to our family, and the aunt of Dongfu asked Kaifeng For her donation, she was rewarded with the title of imperial edict. "
This is compensation.
The Jia family is not wrong.
The royal family suppressed the Jia family, but they themselves were afraid of the Jia family.
Persimmons are picked soft and pinched.
The two palaces of Nan'an and Beijing still hold military power. Has the royal family suppressed them?
The royal family is coaxing them.
But his grandfather and uncle took the initiative to give in with the Jia family.
The Emperor simply used them to show off his royal majesty.
That's because he knows that the Jia family can't afford to make waves.
So there was something going on in the Jia family, and it was quite a big fuss, and it reached his ears, so he was willing to show mercy.
It means that he has not forgotten his old minister.
The Supreme Emperor is still using his old minister to fight in the ring with the Emperor.
When he doubted this, Jia Zhu felt very sad, "As for the second brother Lian's official position, in addition to the honor of his ancestors, the main reason is that he worked hard enough. He helped Uncle Lin do a lot in Jiangnan. The incident happened and he went to the Li family at the right time, so that the Li family did not escape.
The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were very satisfied with the Li family's nearly 10 million yuan worth of property. "
He had to be more detailed, otherwise, his father might think that he could do it if it were him.
"Father, if it were any of us in Jiangnan, it would be impossible. It is impossible to do better than the second brother Lian. "
What's more, they were chased all the way back.
"...Wait a minute, what did Lian'er do for your Uncle Lin in Jiangnan? ”
Jia Zheng frowned, "I remember he made three hundred kilograms of salt there himself."
When he became dark and thin, he was not doing other things, but boiling and drying salt.
“It’s salt.”
Jia Zhu said: “When we went to pick up my sister, my second brother Lian told me that they had experimented with several new methods of making salt. For the salt item, we save a lot of firewood and labor than before.”
That’s it!
Jia Zheng sighed in his heart.
Is this the credit that your brother-in-law specially prepared for the Jia family?
He has always been on good terms with him...
"You have written an article recently, have you shown it to your uncle and asked him for advice?"
"... Sent.”
It’s just that I haven’t sent as many as I did at the beginning.
He is married.
His father-in-law is the Imperial College Jijiu.
It's not that my uncle can't do it, but my uncle also has his own problems.
But in front of her father, Jia Zhu didn't want to say anything more.
"This time, you should go to Jiangnan."
Jia Zheng looked at his son and sighed, "Forget it, the matter is over, it's useless to talk more."
Looking back, he told his sister See more and talk more.
Since the brother-in-law has given Lian'er such great benefits, he can't have nothing here, right?
“It’s getting late, you should go back and have a rest early.”
"Yes!"
Jia Zhu glanced at Aunt Zhao who didn't know what kind of soup she was serving. After a few gestures, she said goodbye to her father, "Son, please leave!"
Come out, the wife is too big , but he didn't know where to go.
Jia Zhu sighed and was about to go out to the study when Cai Fan, the maid who had been taking care of him closely, chased after him, "Master! Where are you going?"
"Hmm~ ”
Jia Zhu glanced at the direction she came from and said, "I'm going to the outer study!"
As he said that, he went to the outer study as expected.
"Uncle..."
Caishan hesitated, "My wife said, if you go out to the study, let the slaves serve you."
She is. The old lady and the madam’s unofficial maid.
"...Isn't mother drunk?"
"After drinking the sobering soup, I will be almost healed in a while."
Otherwise, I can't ask her to wait on me.
Caishan is willing to serve the uncle, but he is not willing to drink the Bizi soup the next day.
I heard that if you drink too much of that thing, you really won’t be able to have children in the future.
As someone close to Jia Zhu, Caishan knew that because of her eldest grandmother's background, they had no chance to have sex before she gave birth to a child. "Then... okay!"
Jia Zhu's eyes turned on her youthful and graceful figure, and she walked ahead.
The colorful fans soon followed.
In Li Wan's courtyard, a light in the master bedroom is always on.
She was holding a book and leaning on the couch, as if she had been paying attention.
"Grandma!"
When Bi Yue hurried in, Li Wan's expression perked up and he was about to smile, but when he saw the anger on Bi Yue's face, he took it back. , "My wife asked Cai Fan to serve the uncle."
"...Hmm~, isn't this what was expected?"
Li Wan took a long and gentle breath. Zhu Qi said, "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go to bed. We have to serve the wife and the old lady tomorrow."
To say I'm not sad is absolutely false.
So what if it’s sad?
She pushed the uncle out herself.
That’s it!
If she doesn’t push..., her life will be even more difficult.
Li Wan threw down the book and lay down directly.
……
Ningguo Mansion, Shen Ningyuan.
The candlelight outside the tent was very dim, and the sound of Qingzhu's shallow breathing could be heard not far away.
Shen Ning seemed very restless in her sleep, tossing and turning, but couldn't wake up.
A gust of wind came, and the candle was extinguished several times, and finally it went out.
Shen Ning was still struggling in her sleep, but she was still like that, no matter how much trouble she made, she couldn't wake up.
Her grip on her hands became tighter and tighter, and the sweat on her forehead slowly soaked the pillow.
It wasn’t until dawn that Jia Yue’s cry brought the courtyard back to life.
"Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?"
Qingzhu stood up and looked at Shen Ning, only to see that her thin quilt had been kicked off long ago, and her head and face were covered in sweat, as if she was trapped in some nightmare again.
"Madam, wake up quickly, madam, madam..."
"Ah~"
Shen Ning was finally pushed awake, but the first time she woke up was , but in a defensive posture.
After seeing Qingzhu, he slowly came back to his senses.
"Madam, are you having nightmares again?"
Qingzhu was very worried.
Their wives haven’t had nightmares for a long time.
"...let people prepare water!"
Shen Ning was weak.
She was fighting and escaping in her dream, and her life was not the same. "I want to take a bath."
"Yes!"
Qingzhu hurriedly told the little maid to prepare, "Madam, I want to take a bath." Don’t ask Shopkeeper Chen to come over and check your pulse!”
I feel bad after sweating so much in my nightmare.
“No need, I’ll take a break first.”
Shen Ning knew where her problem was, "Where's the girl?" Her head hurt a little.
I hit my head many times in my dream.
"The girl cried just now. She should have milk by now."
As long as the child has milk, he will normally stop crying.
Shen Ning stood up and realized that her pillow was soaked with sweat. "Bring me a glass of water first and add some salt."
This body is a bit older after all.
Her hands and feet are weak now. If she doesn't drink some light salt water, she might faint in the bathtub.
"Huh? Yes!"
Qing Ping, who also came in to serve, was stunned when he heard this, but immediately went to do it in person.
My wife has done this several times about drinking salt water.
At the beginning they didn't know how to do it, but now everyone knows how to do it.
Soon a cup of light salt water was brought to her. After Shen Ning gargled her mouth and wiped her teeth, she drank it in a few sips before moving to the side room to take a bath.
If the gun can't be sent up, what else can the superiors know about it without being suspicious of the Jia family?
Shen Ning closed her eyes slightly, letting Qingzhu wash her hair gently, and suddenly said: "Qingzhu, do you like watching theater?"
"Yes!"
< br>
Qingzhu and Qingping helped together, "Madam, do you want to go to the theater?"
"We seem to have a bookstore at home?"
Shen Ning did not answer, but asked another question.
“Yes!”
Qing Ping said: “The bookstore is now under the name of the eldest grandma.”
"...I've thought about two plays. I'll tell you later, how about you guys write them?"
Huh?
The two maids were a little dazed.
Did they hear it wrong, or...
"By the way, have you seen Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
"...No!"
The two maids shook their heads honestly.
"Then I will read the Three Kingdoms to you today."
No.
Shen Ning patted her head and said, "I made a mistake. It was you who read the Three Kingdoms to me."
She had to let her elder brother and Brother Rong read it together.
"...Madam, do we have such a book at home?"
"It doesn't matter if we don't have it, just buy a set."
Shen Ning said: "I'll look for it later. I told you to bring in a few sets of Records of the Three Kingdoms."
"...Yes!"
Qing Ping hesitated for a moment, "Madam, what kind of book is the Three Kingdoms?"
"Well, you will know when you take it over and read it."
Shen Ning took a bath and came out feeling refreshed. At that time, Jia Zhen and Youshi were also coming to say hello.
"Mom, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Youshi felt tired on her face and couldn't help but be concerned.
"It's not good. I had a nightmare all night."
Shen Ning looked at Jia Zhen and said, "You came just in time. Go and buy some books of the Three Kingdoms for me."
"Three Kingdoms?"
Jia Zhen was confused, "There is one at home! My son will find it for you soon."
"Is it at home?"
Shen Ning sat down at the set table, "Have you seen it?"
"Yes."
Jia Zhen said: "My grandfather wanted me to see it. He said that we are from a family of military generals. If you haven’t even read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you will be embarrassed if you go out.”
“…Then tell me, who do you most admire in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?”
“Then. Do you need to say it? Zhuge Liang!”
"...Who did your grandfather admire the most?"
Shen Ning couldn't help but be curious.
"Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang."
Jia Zhen smiled, "My grandfather liked him the most. Followed by Liu Bei and Zhang Fei."
"What do you think of Liu Chan?"
Liu Chan?
Jia Zhen was stunned.
That’s Adou who can’t be helped up!
"Not good. My son doesn't like him."
Of all the people who read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, ten out of ten will not like him.
There may be one person out of a thousand who will sigh when he sees him.
"Mom, you are fine, why did you think of reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
"Huh~"
Shen Ning took a sip of porridge, "I had a dream last night, Dreaming about war”
