4 004 Cousin
◎Laughing Rat! Are the Jia family worthy?◎
Cousin?
Mo Yu was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he realized who Jia Min was talking about.
[Born to be engraved with jade, this is talking about that broken stone Jia Baoyu, right? And cousin? Laughing Rat! Is he worthy? He is incompetent at everything, the number one scumbag, I don’t want such a cousin at all... oh yes, listen to me, my cheap lady, the Jia family in the capital is really not a good family, stupid and vicious, don’t get involved with them.]
Here they come again! Jia Min frowned slightly, confused.
In the past few days, she has gradually gotten used to her little son’s "strange phenomenon" of not opening his mouth but only hearing his voice. She completely ignored the fact that her son hadn't even opened his mouth to speak, and she had already naturally followed his "ventriloquy" to think.
Jia Min had been married to the Lin family in Suzhou from the Jia family in Beijing for more than ten years, and she hadn't seen anyone from her natal family for more than ten years.
But this didn't mean that she had no contact with the Jia family. They still kept on exchanging letters and giving gifts on festivals.
So she knew all the major events that had happened in the Jia family in the past ten years.
In the same ten years, her life in the Lin family could be said to be unremarkable, but her natal family, the Jia family, was different.
It could be said that it was a huge success, adding icing on the cake, and fueling the fire.
Without mentioning other things, the first thing is that her second brother Jia Zheng's eldest son Jia Zhu entered school at the age of fourteen and has now married a wife, the daughter of Li's family, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. It is said that she got pregnant within a year of entering the family, and she should have a child soon.
The second thing is that her eldest brother Jia She's second son Jia Lian married the niece of her second sister-in-law Wang Madam a few years ago, which can be regarded as adding a child to the family and strengthening the relationship.
The third thing is that her second brother's niece Yuanchun entered the palace this spring. Although she is only a female historian now, since she has entered the palace, she is the emperor's woman. With the qualifications of her niece, she is more than capable of becoming an empress, but it is just a matter of time.
However, these three happy events are not as great as the other one.
That is, her second brother and his wife were still strong and healthy, and they had given birth to a legitimate second son at an advanced age.
This new nephew was only one year older than her own Daiyu. It was said that when he was born, he had a piece of colorful and crystal jade in his mouth, with some auspicious words on it, which was indeed a good omen.
As soon as this matter came out, it immediately spread all over the capital, and Jia's mother even wrote a letter in her name to announce the good news to all relatives and friends.
Jia Min had also told this matter to her daughter Daiyu when she was chatting, but she had never mentioned it to her son Moyu - at least not formally.
It’s not that she didn’t want to, but there was no chance at all… Her poor Mo Ge was born weak and sickly. If he had heard that his cousin in the capital who was two years older than him was not only born healthy, but also had such a miraculous auspicious omen, I don’t know how sad he would be.
She knew her own children best. Each of them was very smart. No matter how young they were, they were very smart and could wake up very early.
This was true for her daughter Daiyu and her son Moyu.
It was a pity that both children were not in good health.
It was her fault. Why didn’t she find out earlier that there was a "spy" in the family? If Moyu hadn’t told her, she, the old man, and everyone in the Lin family would still be in the dark.
Fortunately, Moyu was there.
So, what’s wrong with your cousin Jia Baoyu? Can you tell your mother about it?
Jia Min introduced the situation of Jia Mansion to Mo Yu again, and tried to continue to listen to Mo Yu's inner thoughts. She found that her son had more and more words in his mind since he fell asleep for a few days last time...
However, considering that what he said was quite effective, there was nothing wrong with listening to it.
After all, she really had such an idea before, to make the relationship with her mother's family closer in the future, and marry Daiyu to this extraordinary nephew who was born of a jade.
By then, her second brother and his wife would be Daiyu's uncle, aunt, and father-in-law, plus there would be a grandmother above to love and take care of her, wouldn't it be a great bargain?
This should have been such a good thing, but why does it feel like from Moyu's tone, Baoyu, or even the Jia family, don't mean it well?
Jia Min was feeling quite nervous, and her face couldn't help but look ugly, but Mo Yu didn't care at all.
Mainly because he got very angry when this was mentioned -
[The Lin family is so miserable, and the Jia family is so excessive! The worst is that old lady Jia, who said that Jia Min was her most beloved daughter. First, she married her so far away that she basically didn't see her in her entire life, and as expected, she didn't see her until she died of illness in Yangzhou.]
Jia Min was silent, thinking, who said it wasn't true.
Originally, she cared a lot about her natal family, and she always believed what old lady Jia said, that it was for her own good to let her marry far away. But after hearing her son's words, why did it feel different?
Did the old lady really love her the most?
Then why did the other three sisters marry in the capital, but she was the only one who married so far away...
Jia Min fell into deep thought, but Mo Yu's complaints were not over yet.
[The most outrageous thing is that after Jia Min died, she entrusted her only daughter Daiyu to her parents' family, fearing that the child would have no one to raise her, and also wanted to strengthen the relationship between relatives. As a result... When Lin Ruhai also died in Yangzhou, Jia Lian accompanied Daiyu home to attend the funeral and then returned to the Jia family. The marriage did not take place, but the Lin family's property was eaten up, and in the end Daiyu lost her life. It was really too tragic...]
What, not only is she going to die, but even their old man and Daiyu are going to die?
This...
Jia Min's heart suddenly tightened. She was thinking about asking her son what was going on, but she found that she couldn't speak again. It was strange. She could speak just now. As long as she wanted to ask a few questions about what her son had just said in his heart, she couldn't speak at all.
When her son just woke up that day and heard his inner thoughts for the first time, Jia Min discovered this strangeness. She didn't expect that this was not a coincidence?
Because this matter was related to her mother's family and Daiyu's future, Jia Min couldn't help but want to ask a few more questions. Therefore, she didn't believe it, and tried several more times in succession, and found that it still didn't work.
And she didn't know if it was because she was forcing to violate the taboo, she felt that not only could she not speak, but even her throat was a little dry and sore, which was really weird.
Jia Min was in a panic and didn't dare to force it anymore. She turned around and called out "someone come here" in a cover-up manner.
This time it worked.
Mo Yu was recalling the original story in his wild imagination. When he heard Jia Min shouting, he subconsciously stopped thinking and looked up at her, not quite understanding what she was trying to do.
Being stared at by her son with such doubt, Jia Min became more and more embarrassed. Fortunately, she quickly thought of a perfect idea and told someone, "Go and bring my sister over. Tell her that Mo Ge'er is well again. Ask her to come and see her brother."
Ah? Why did you ask Daiyu to come?
Mo Yu was surprised, but thinking that the relationship between the Lin family seemed to be pretty good, it was normal to ask Daiyu to come and visit and keep in touch with them.
If Lin Ruhai hadn't been out on business again, he would have come too.
After all, Lin Moyu's body...
[Well, whatever, our whole family is destined to die early anyway. And I will definitely be the first one to die... Take care of your family, I may go on a long voyage at any time...]
As soon as this thought flashed through Mo Yu's mind, his hand was firmly held by Jia Min.
When he looked up, he saw Jia Min's eyes were red and she was about to cry. Her worry and love were beyond words. It was really very sincere.
Alas, why bother? Madam, no matter how much you love me, I will die... Thinking of the inevitable ending in the original book, Mo Yu couldn't help sighing in his heart, and comforted Jia Min with some reluctance: "Madam, don't worry, it's an old illness, it's okay." It would have been
better if he didn't say it. Once he said it, Jia Min cried even harder.
Just when they were at a loss, the maids and servants happened to come over with Daiyu, which finally temporarily eased the awkward atmosphere.
Seeing Jiamin crying, Daiyu hurriedly asked what happened.
The maids and servants who had been serving her told her the reason. When Daiyu heard that it was because of her brother's illness, her eyes turned red.
Even so, she still tried to hold back her tears, and smiled to comfort Mo Yu and Jiamin:
"Don't be afraid, Mo'er, your illness will definitely be cured. Our master and mistress have been visiting famous doctors, and we will always find a famous doctor who can cure your illness."
Mo Yu sighed, agreed, but didn't agree in his heart.
[Where are there so many famous doctors? They can cure diseases, but they can't cure lives. In this world of fantasy, famous doctors are no match for liars... I don't know when the lame Taoist and the bald monk will come. If they come before I die, I can still make up a lie - if you always persuade people to become monks, you are really a charlatan. Why should you give up your children to join the Buddhist sect? If you have the ability to cure people directly and guide them to change their fate, why not make them become monks? You will only make people leave their hometowns and relatives, and what's the use of living a hundred years? It's better to live a few years less and be free. 】
This is a bit confusing.
But Jia Min and Daiyu both know what Mo Yu is talking about.
Because the bald monk has been here before.
It was last spring when Daiyu just turned three years old.
What he said was similar to what they had just heard from Mo Yu's inner thoughts - that is, he wanted Lin Ruhai and Jia Min to give Daiyu to him so that he could take her to become a monk.
It was simply outrageous! Even without Mo Yu's reminder, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai could not agree.
The bald monk had no choice but to leave a warning that "from now on, you are not allowed to hear any crying or see relatives or friends of other surnames", and then disappeared.
Although the monk's words were incoherent and mysterious, the way he appeared and left was still quite magical. Jia Min was a little skeptical to begin with, and this time she heard Mo Yu say the same thing, she felt even more frightened.
But due to the mysterious restrictions that came from nowhere, she could not ask anything about this matter. She could only worry, and her face became more and more wrong.
Mo Yu had his own ideas about this.
[Well, let's do a good deed before we die. Daiyu must not be sent to the Jia Mansion. If it really doesn't work, let my cheap father marry a second wife... No, what if it's a vicious stepmother who bullies Daiyu?]
Jia Min was stunned, and Daiyu's face gradually showed a look of fear.
[Then how about letting him adopt a son from the family? In this way, after I die, I can also establish a family for the Lin family, so that Miss Daiyu will not be alone in the Jia Mansion to be bullied... Ahhh, I'm so angry! It's so disgusting! A whole family bullies a little girl of six or seven years old. Is this something that humans can do? The Jia family is the most hateful, no doubt about it.】
When Mo Yu thought of the "swords, wind and frost" that Daiyu had to face in the original plot, he was so angry that his head hurt,
and he couldn't stop complaining passionately. Jia Min and Daiyu suddenly received so much information input that they were inevitably a little confused.
The maids and servants who were serving beside them felt that they knew a lot of things they shouldn't know, and they were afraid that they would be discovered and blamed by their masters, so they all lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
For a while, the whole room was quiet, without even a cough.
It was so quiet that I almost suffocated. Suddenly, someone outside came to report: "The master brought a gentleman named Jia back home. He said that he would ask the wife to bring the girl to the front hall to meet him." [
