Chapter 202: The way to run a family is to be both lenient and strict
Jia Mu hugged Baoyu and tried to calm him down a little. She nodded seriously: "Lan Ge'er said it well!"
There was a flash of recollection in her eyes, and she said slowly: "I think back then, both the Ning and Rong mansions were governed by military law, and my wife knew about it."
Mrs. Wang quickly responded.
Jia's mother sighed: "The military law is strict! They are often served with military sticks. I wonder which of the servants in the palace has never touched the stick of the executioner? Even among the maids in the inner house, who has not tasted the punishment of the punishment officer?"
A ruler? That's not one or two strokes, but fifty or a hundred strokes!"
All the maids were horrified when they heard this. Although they were young and had never seen the appearance of the military law housekeeper back then, they had all seen the ruler in the hands of Mammy Xing.
Jia Baoyu said dissatisfied: "This daughter is made of flesh and blood, how can she be so cheap so easily?"
"Uncle Bao Er, this is not true!"
Jia Baoyu stared: "What's wrong?"
Jia Lan said seriously: "Second Uncle Bao has a gentle face and is considerate of the servants. Just like Aunt Yingchun, he has a good temper. None of us want to see the servants being punished for nothing. The so-called compassion is something everyone has.
So true.
However, no one has faults. If you make a mistake and correct it, it is not a mistake. If you are wrong, you will not correct it despite repeated admonishment. If you are wrong, you will tolerate it.
Tolerating is to support adultery!
Punishment is not a purpose, it is to avoid past mistakes and avoid future ones, and it is for the future of you and me!"
Jia Lan turned to look at Yingchun: "One day Aunt Yingchun will suddenly become the housekeeper of Beppu. At that time, can we still hope to give in and endure and live a kindly life? Then "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
, I think it’s the most suitable for Aunt Yingchun!”
The words that made the Yingchun peach shy and apricot gave way made everyone burst into laughter, causing Daiyu to laugh and curse.
Jia Mu also laughed along.
Jia Baoyu was dissatisfied: "Isn't it good for someone with a Bodhisattva-like heart like my wife?"
Everyone looked at Mrs. Wang and nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Wang smiled even more after being praised by her son. She rubbed Baoyu's hand and kept smiling.
Tanchun pursed his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Jia Lan smiled and said: "Grandma is naturally kind-hearted, but my housekeeper also has other tricks."
While speaking, he glanced at Sister Feng, who immediately curved the corners of her mouth.
"Grandma is kind-hearted because Aunt Feng is around to help run the house. Grandma and aunt are just like Emperor Zhaolie and Prime Minister Zhuge. Grandma treats her with benevolence and righteousness, and Aunt Feng enforces the law. In this way, everything is relaxed.
Now the house is in good order."
Baoyu was at a loss for words.
Jia Lan's words were beautiful. He not only praised Sister Feng for her good housekeeping, but also praised Mrs. Wang for her discerning eyes.
Mother Jia chuckled, agreed very much, and praised Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng a few more words.
"Second girl, come here."
Jia Mu let go of Baoyu, stretched out her hand and waved to Yingchun.
Looking at the graceful Yingchun, Jia's mother became more and more fond of her. She was full of praise: "It's amazing, it's really grown. We will have to discuss marriage in a few years. I don't know which brother will be lucky enough to marry her."
Second girl."
Yingchun blushed with embarrassment: "My granddaughter would rather stay with my ancestors forever. I just hope that my ancestors live a long life!"
Jia Mu smiled cheerfully: "Silly girl, when a girl grows up, she will naturally get married."
Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, said dissatisfiedly: "What's so good about marrying some stinky man? It's better than sisters living together and living happily."
"Baoyu!" Mrs. Wang's expression changed and she immediately stopped him.
Everyone in the family knows that he always likes to talk nonsense, so they don't care about it, but they are afraid that if this word gets out, if it falls into the hands of someone with good intentions, there is no guarantee of what will happen. If it is not good, it will not only welcome the Spring Festival, but also the
Baoyu’s reputation will be ruined!
Jia Mu also stopped smiling and looked at Jia Baoyu seriously: "I don't want to say this casually."
When Jia Baoyu saw that even Jia's mother did not support her, she immediately became impatient. She jumped out and shouted: "Why do you want to get married!? The eldest sister can just marry in that place where she never sees the light of day. The second sister,
Third sister, fourth sister, why do people like this..."
As soon as they heard that this was about the palace, everyone in the room immediately changed their faces. However, they were used to being accommodating to Baoyu, so no one spoke to stop him.
"Uncle Bao!" A thunderous cold shout made Jia Baoyu tremble a few times and became quiet instantly.
Seeing Jia Lan standing up from the chair, he looked at him with a cold face, his eyes were extremely solemn, and there was an indescribable momentum.
"Uncle Bao, please be careful what you say!"
Jia Baoyu was so impressed by Jia Lan's momentum that he fell back into his seat.
Jia Mu stamped her feet and cursed with an anxious face: "You evildoer! How could you arrange your eldest sister like this? And the matter of the palace, how can we, a noble family, have no right to discuss it? These words are
Who taught you that?"
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she slammed the table hard and brought Xiren Sheyue and other people in Baoyu's house to drink, and cursed: "Look what you do in daily life, good men, you have taught them bad things!"<
/p>
Looking at this posture, several people are preparing to get angry!
Xi Ren and others knelt down in a hurry. Mrs. Wang was a kind and kind person, and she had never beaten the girls. Today, her anger was ignited, and it was like a raging fire. Everyone was so frightened that they dared not speak.
When the others saw that things were about to go bad, Tanchun looked at Baoyu, hoping that he would quickly speak up and change things. They didn't want Baoyu to fall on the chair, looking dumbfounded and deaf to the surrounding things.
Daiyu gritted her teeth and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Baochai stood up before her, walked up behind Mrs. Wang to calm her down, and advised her: "Madam, please don't be angry. This matter in the palace is so shocking to She Yue."
How could these girls know this? Brother Bao must have heard it somewhere outside, so we should ask Brother Bao first?"
Mrs. Wang thought for a while and felt that what Baochai said was reasonable, so she turned around and looked at Baoyu, but Phoenix Egg had a dull look on her face, and she just hesitated no matter what she asked.
"Hehe, this fool is really silly and interesting!" Yu Linglong felt Jia Baoyu's heart and said with a smile.
Jia Lan sighed and silently took action to calm Baoyu's chaotic aura.
Seeing Baoyu gradually waking up, and with Baochai and others persuading her from the side, Mrs. Wang lost some of her anger and waved the attackers to get up and serve the Phoenix Egg.
At this time, Jia Baoyu sobbed and said: "I didn't hear it from outside, it was said by my eldest sister herself when she came back..."
Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, looked at each other with Mrs. Wang, and cursed with a wry smile: "You are such a sin, your eldest sister said 'unseen' at that time, which only meant that she could not see her family often. This has been the case since ancient times when you get married and follow your husband.
, Thanks to the queen’s kindness, we can come to the palace to see you every month. It is a great grace. How come it completely changes the taste in your mouth?!"
"It's Brother Bao who misses the imperial concubine and talks nonsense in a moment of impatience." Sister Feng advised.
For a while, everyone said yes, and even Jia Lan spoke up for the phoenix egg.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting warmer, Jia Mu hugged the frightened Yingchun and said, "Don't worry about that evil! He can only make people sad all the time. It's time to find a good man to come and live in his yard so that he can calm down."
He is!"
The speaker was unintentional. Mrs. Wang's brows jumped at what Jia Mu said, and even Baochai's eyes paused.
Sister Feng said with a smile: "I'm afraid Brother Bao won't be able to let go of our ancestors."
Jia Mu snorted: "I'm afraid you can't bear to leave these sisters?"
