Chapter 64: Advising Sister Feng to take good care of herself and learn to be a housekeeper and recommend Sanchun
Sister Feng’s health problem is no small problem.
If Jia Lan had read all the Red Mansions novels, he would have known that after Concubine Yuan's wedding, Sister Feng took care of all the complicated matters herself. This was all because Sister Feng had a strong nature and refused to be praised or criticized, but she also caused trouble.
There is a side note written here in some novels, saying "the source of the disease is hidden", and this was the source of Sister Feng's two subsequent miscarriages.
In Jia Lan's view, Sister Feng's health was not that bad because of her butterfly effect, but she remembered the plot in the book that she still remembered: after Princess Yuan's wedding, it took two years for Sister Feng to become pregnant again, and then the next one.
I had a miscarriage on Lantern Festival.
The original text says, "Sister Feng is endowed with insufficient Qi and blood, and she is young and does not know how to take care of herself. She has struggled with strength and wits all her life, and her mental strength has been even worse..."
It can be seen that Sister Feng's body is still somewhat deficient. She has not yet had an attack, but she is afraid that it will be difficult to recover.
Therefore, Jia Lan expressed her inner thoughts and asked San Chun, Dai Chai and Li Wan to assist Sister Feng in housekeeping.
"Aunt, you also know the difficulties of housekeeping. Aunt Yingchun has already reached her age this year. Aunt Lin and Aunt Tanchun are one year older than me. Aunt Xichun is the same age as me. Aunt Xue is five years older than me. Each of them
You are almost old enough to discuss marriage, why don’t your family teach you some ways to manage your family?
Managing household affairs seems easy, but it is complicated to do. If you add in being filial to your parents-in-law and managing your aunt, it will be a huge human matter that you will never be able to finish in a lifetime.
My aunt has always cared about her sisters and aunts. Should I wait for them to suffer hardship in their husband's family after they marry outside?
As for the mother, these sisters and aunts are always younger. Some things are always difficult to talk about, and they are also afraid of being criticized by the servants for doing evil. At this time, the mother is watching from the front, just to prevent those servants from making trouble in front of the aunt and disturbing her.
Aunt is resting.
If Auntie is worried, she can just ask Sister Ping'er to come over, and she doesn't need to worry about it herself all day long."
Sister Feng leaned on the cushion and weighed the pros and cons.
Ping'er on the side saw Sister Feng's eyes flickering uncertainly, and he guessed what Sister Feng was thinking, so he said, "Grandma, I think what Lan Ge'er said makes sense."
Sister Feng glanced at Ping'er sideways and said curiously: "Oh? How do you say this?"
Ping'er Xianxian walked up to Sister Feng: "I have been following you, grandma, since I was a child, and I know that you have a strong temper. But after all, this Jia's family is the family of the Duke of China, which is a bit bigger than the Wang family. Everything is controlled by it."
You're in charge, how can you possibly bear it?
Moreover, today is different from the past, when the elders in the house were older and the younger ones were younger.
But now that the girls have grown up, and Brother Lan is going to take the exam this year, grandma better think about herself, our eldest sister is already six years old!"
With tears in Ping'er's eyes, she leaned over and lay on Sister Feng's body.
This hug immediately aroused Sister Feng's thoughts.
I have been married to Jia Lian for some years, but I only have my eldest sister as my descendant.
What Ping'er said was related, and Sister Feng naturally heard it. She was tactfully admonishing herself that she had made enough money when building the Grand View Garden anyway, so it was time to get down to business.
If a woman wants to survive in the back house, money is certainly necessary, but in the final analysis she still needs to take care of her children.
Sister Feng's tears suddenly fell down, she stroked Ping'er's back and cried: "Oh Ping'er, I know you treat me well! Many times, it's my little temper that makes the mistake of blaming you!"
The master and the servant held each other and cried for a while. It was not until the eldest sister on the side was woken up that they calmed down.
Looking at the eldest sister, Sister Feng immediately thought that her daughter was also born a little weak and often fell ill in the early years, so she quickly said: "Brother Lan, please take a look at the eldest sister!"
"Don't worry, Auntie! My eldest sister is doing very well. I have nursed her back to health in the past few months. Sometimes the child is still young and has a weak foundation. She does not need to take medicine to nurse her back to health."
Jia Lan said with a smile and a naughty tone.
"Ah?" Sister Feng and Ping'er looked at each other, equally confused.
Ping'er joked: "Ah, are there any diseases that can be cured without taking medicine?"
"Hahaha, Sister Ping'er, you are a layman." Jia Lan said with a smile: "At my age, my qi and blood are not enough, and my meridians are not yet established. The best thing at this time is not to take medicine, but to massage."<
/p>
"Massage?"
"Actually, I come here every time I take a bath, just to give my eldest sister a massage, just like this..." Jia Lan touched the eldest sister's head and gently pressed his thumb, "This can induce sweating and relieve muscles, and remove the sebum in the bones.
The heat and toxins are extracted and have the effect of awakening the mind and refreshing the mind."
Ping'er clapped his hands fiercely and said to Sister Feng: "No wonder, I was most worried about the beginning of spring in previous years. My eldest sister has been sick on this day all year round. I was wondering if my eldest sister's body and bones have recovered this year, and she is actually fine?
”
Sister Feng reached out and pinched Ping'er's face and said with a smile: "You little hooves, what are you talking about?"
Ping'er begged for mercy for a while, then made trouble for a while.
Jia Lan hugged her eldest sister and got back to business: "Aunt, this assistance does not take away your power as a housekeeper. You still have the final say in taking charge of the boss. It's just that you can give out some things if you can. There is something right in front of you.
It’s the most suitable item to divide out!”
"What's going on?"
"Of course it's the Grand View Garden. My sisters live with their mother in the Grand View Garden. Can I let my sisters take care of the affairs in this garden first?
There are all new things here, which are the most troublesome for aunt; but for the sisters, it also has the advantage of being close to them, so they can take care of them nearby and learn some housekeeping skills.
After I went out, other people knew that my sisters had taken care of the Grand View Garden when the imperial concubine was visiting for a wedding. How could they not rely on them a lot? With the merit of this training, my aunt could also gain a good reputation outside, and some of the previous unsatisfactory things could be replaced.
Good things cover up the past."
Sister Feng's face became serious when she heard this. She looked at Jia Lan and nodded: "Yes, this is indeed a good thing. Let them take care of it first, so that I can spare my energy to go to Liaodong."
Check the list of stewards carefully."
After saying goodbye to Sister Feng, Jia Lan returned to Daoxiang Village and had a few words with Li Wan, telling him what he had just discussed with Sister Feng.
When Li Wan heard this, he was a little nervous: "Second Mistress Lian really said that? Are you trying to trick me?"
Jia Lan smiled and said, "Mother said this very unconfidently. How can Aunt Feng manage such a large Jia family? Not to mention that she added such a large garden for nothing. Naturally, Aunt Feng also needs it."
Some people are here to help.”
Li Wan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and nodded: "That makes sense, and the girls are indeed old. Let them learn some housekeeping skills. The master, wife, and ancestors all
Willing."
"Yes!" Jia Lan agreed from the side: "And by moving, you can see some things clearly. The stagnant water in Jia's Mansion is too quiet."
"Ouch!!" When Li Wan heard this, he screamed in his heart. He immediately sat up straight and said to his son seriously: "Don't interfere with this matter! Go and read your book!"
