"You guys should go back and have a rest. I'll give Lian a few words."
After Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang said goodbye and left, Jiamu La Jialian sat next to her and said with a smile:
"Your wife is pregnant, so she must not work too hard anymore.
Girl Feng is a very strong-minded and extremely smart person. When she is busy, she has no time to eat and drink. She cannot sit or lie down quietly, and others cannot bear it, but she is happy on the contrary.
Although she worked tirelessly, she would rather suffer the consequences and make the whole house very tidy. But you must remember that no matter how good a candle is, it cannot be lit at both ends.
I also told her today that when you go back, you should also advise her that since she is pregnant, she should take good care of herself and other things should not be rushed at this moment."
.
After hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Lian knew that Jia Mu was really good to Wang Xifeng.
People who know how to plan for your future, rather than just taking advantage of you now, are the ones who are really good to you.
From this point of view, Wang Xifeng, who had only planned for Mrs. Wang before, is indeed a complete fool.
Anyway, Jia Lian admires Jia Mu from the bottom of his heart.
This old lady is truly reasonable and knowledgeable.
Wang Xifeng thinks that she is a human being. In fact, among the many women in the Jia family, the only real human being is Jia Mu.
In terms of background, Jia Mu is the legitimate daughter of Baoling Hou Shangshu Ling.
Of course, the more important thing is that Jia Mu’s natal family background has always been very strong.
There are two biological nephews, one is the hereditary Baolinghou Shi Nai, and the other is the Zhongjing Hou Shi Ding. In other words, in the third generation of the Shi family, the family is still a double prince.
The Jia family, also one of the "four major families", has also reached the third generation, but it is no longer on the same level as the Shi family. Jia Jing, the only child in Ningguo Mansion, is a white man without an official position, and Jia She, the eldest son of Rongguo Mansion, is hereditary.
He became a first-class general, while the second master Jia Zheng could only rely on the emperor's "special favor" to be gifted a fifth-rank official.
In terms of marriage, Jia's mother is the first wife of Jia Daishan, the Duke of Rongguo, and the first-grade wife.
With this status, the old lady made friends with all the family members of high-ranking officials in the court.
In terms of financial resources, Jia's mother brought a generous dowry from her natal family, and also had the wealth left by Dai Shangong. The private money in her hands was the first in Jia's family.
In terms of ability, Jia Mu has been in charge of the Rongguo Mansion for decades during the peak period of the Jia family. While serving her elders and raising children, she can also manage the family in an orderly manner.
He is calm when faced with problems, has an overall view, understands priorities, is precise and clear in his understanding of human affairs, and is decisive and thunderous in his punishments. He is several levels higher than Wang Xifeng.
In addition, whether it is elegant and cultured taste, humorous wisdom, and lively and cheerful personality, Jia Mu is a top figure in the Jia family.
Even from the looks of her grandchildren, we can tell that Jia Mu must have been an outstanding beauty when she was young. Even now in her seventies, she is still a graceful and graceful woman.
.
Jia Mu's following words made Jia Lian's admiration for Jia Mu a step further:
"Lian Er, Feng girl has a sharp tongue and a lively and humorous temperament. She wins my heart very much. I often praise her for this.
But when it comes to her shrewdness and ability as a housekeeper and director, I rarely praise her.
In the final analysis, I am afraid of trying to offend Feng Yatou.
Once she gets too pleased with herself, she will inevitably forget her form, do things in a rigid manner, and lose control of herself.
If someone stares at her and tells her not to act recklessly, she is already considered to be the best among these juniors.
Sigh - earlier, I also wanted to teach her, but Feng Yatou's knowledge and temperament were just like that. She only cared about 'superficial management', how could she have any thoughts of 'long-term management'?
Now I'm thinking about it, I can just let her "put down the fence and fiddle with the broom" all day long, and she'll still look better than the others."
Only then did Jia Lian discover that besides herself, Jia's mother also saw Wang Xifeng through and through.
Sure enough, "heroes think alike"!
Jia Mu saw the smile on Jia Lian's lips and said with a smile:
"When I speak openly about your wife, I'm just relying on my old age. If you don't like it, just go back and blame me behind your back."
Jia Lian said seriously:
"The old lady just didn't say this, and that's what I thought in my heart.
Sister Feng's temperament has always been arrogant and flamboyant. Someone has to control her and suppress her at all times. Otherwise, she will really cause disaster and not even know it.
Fortunately, the old lady didn't praise her much. She was just an ordinary bird, and managing the huge Rongguo Mansion was still too strenuous.
I think that now that she is pregnant, she can't work as hard as before, so why not let her third sister help her take care of the housework.
First of all, the third sister is ambitious, generous, and able to do practical things.
Secondly, the third sister will definitely get a son-in-law in the future, so it would be good to practice more as a steward earlier."
.
"Tan Yatou is indeed a good person."
Jia Mu nodded repeatedly and said:
"If in the future it is true as you said, she will definitely get a son-in-law, it will surely be a blessing to the Jia family."
Speaking of this, Jia Mu sighed again:
"Although your father didn't say it, I know that he complained that I favored your second uncle.
But think about it, for the Jia family, your second uncle's eldest daughter was sent to the palace early to become a female historian. Isn't it for the Jia family?
The palace is a place where people are always on tenterhooks. How can you live so comfortably with your sisters at home?
As for your second uncle's second daughter Tan Yatou, she is well-born, cheerful, knowledgeable and responsible. If the Jia family hopes to have a decent marriage, they must give Tan Yatou away again.
Alas - for the sake of this family, who is not allowed to make sacrifices? Your father..."
"My father, he has the nerve to say that the old lady is partial?
He is just a daughter, and I might as well ask him to sell her in the future.
I just want to ask the old lady to love my second sister too much and don’t let my father take care of the second sister’s marriage.
Otherwise, it would be too pitiful if the second sister is really allowed to marry a ‘Zhongshan Wolf’.”
Jia Lian's words made Jia Mu frown:
"This is nonsense.
Even if our young lady is a concubine, there is no reason to sell her to others.
The girl Ying is made of wood and doesn't look good, but she's also my granddaughter, how can I say I don't care?
From now on, I will have to bring Ying Yatou and Tan Yatou with me when I welcome them. I still have to personally make the decision on their marriage.
You just said that Tan Yatou would help Sister Feng take care of the house, I think it’s okay, and the matter is settled.”
.
Mu Yingchun didn't know that her fate had changed dramatically because of Jia Lian's words.
But Tanchun was very happy when he heard that Jia Lian had recommended her to Jia Mu. He immediately steamed honey taro cake with his own hands and came to visit Sister Feng.
Tanchun is unmarried and is a "petty guest" in the family. Sister Feng has always been courteous to this sister-in-law.
At this time, Tanchun was extremely polite to Sister Feng for Jia Lian's sake.
So the two sisters-in-law discussed the housekeeping matters humbly and asked Jia Lian for advice from time to time. The atmosphere was really harmonious.
.
In order to prepare for Concubine Jia's wedding, the Jia family was busy every day, and they had not had a good time in consecutive years.
Starting from the eighth day of the lunar month, there were inspections of local prime ministers to guard against eunuchs, etc., and many young eunuchs were brought out to prepare various guardrails and barriers. The eunuchs in the palace came to instruct the people in the palace where to retreat, where to kneel, and where to eat.
Where to announce the event and all kinds of ritual notes.
The Jia family was also busy hanging lanterns and preparing fireworks all night long. No one could sleep well for several nights.
On the night of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Mu could neither sit still nor lie down. She ordered people to go around to inquire whether everything was in order. She also ordered Yuanyang to prepare clothes and clothes for Xiapei, and to finish her makeup before dawn.<

Jia Lian came close to Jia Mu and said with a smile:
