Chapter 12 The twelfth day after being transformed into Jia Mu

The old lady sat down in the outer room. Yuanyang cleverly ordered the servants to prepare a portion of crispy cheese, a portion of jujube paste and yam cake, and another cup of Lu'an melon slices.

This crispy cheese, I still remember that the old lady ate it happily the day before. But that time the kitchen only mixed sugar water into it and condensed it into a paste, which was sweet and soft when eaten.

Seeing that the old ancestor liked it, the big kitchen later made walnut kernels and hawthorn preserved fruits; the shapes were also varied, some were small square pieces, some were curled like flowers, and some were thin like pancakes...

This time, the outside of the served was decorated with melon seeds, small long strips, and looked delicate, but still delicious when eaten.

There was also jujube paste and yam cake. The old lady picked up a piece and took a closer look. The small piece had five layers. One layer of soft cake, two layers of jujube paste, and two layers of snow-white and crystal yam mashed potatoes in between. It was soft, glutinous, sweet, but a little cold. The old lady moved two pieces and stopped moving, and turned to listen carefully to the movement inside.

Nanny Han tapped the table with her fingertips, as if she was organizing her thoughts, "Girls, do you know that apart from Kyoto, the richest place in the world is Jiangnan."

The three girls looked at Daiyu together.

Nanny Han smiled, "Miss Lin was born in Yangzhou, so she should have some experience."

Lin Daiyu didn't know much about these things in the past, but she saw the prosperity of Yangzhou when she went out with her mother to burn incense.

But she was always careful, so she smiled and said, "Yin Yun once said, 'With a hundred thousand taels of gold in your pocket, you can ride a crane to Yangzhou.' This is just as Nanny said. But I don't go out often, but when I burned incense in the past, I saw some of the scenery of Yangzhou on the way. What Xu Ning said, 'One third of the world is bright on moonlit nights, and two thirds of the scoundrels are in Yangzhou' is true."

Nanny Han nodded, "Miss is right, the scenery of Jiangnan is also very good, and this good feng shui cultivates good character. The strange case of the daughter of the Wang family in Jiangnan, if it weren't for the two good friends of Mr. Wang during his lifetime, perhaps the family business would have been handed over to the nephew. All. "

Daiyu and Sanchun were all interested at this moment and listened very attentively. Nanny Han was satisfied. She said, "Although the Wang family in Jiangnan is not a wealthy family, they run several silk businesses and are considered to be well-off.

Mr. Wang and his wife are deeply in love and extremely affectionate.

This should be a happy thing, but life is often not as we wish. The unhappiness of Mr. Wang and his wife is that they have never had children. This regret, and the guilt towards the ancestors of the Wang family, made his wife depressed and ill, and she passed away before she was forty."

"Ah," Daiyu and Sanchun expressed their regret.

Nanny Han took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, "However, before his wife died, she took a concubine for Mr. Wang. But Mr. Wang has not been in good health since his wife passed away.

The concubine only gave birth to a daughter, the daughter of Wang.

But at that time, Mr. Wang was already bedridden. Although he survived for several years, he passed away when the daughter of Wang was seven years old."

"What happened to the daughter of Wang?" Tanchun asked anxiously.

Nanny Han did not answer immediately, "The girls may not know that the "Laws" of our dynasty state that if there are no children, the same clan can be appointed as the heir, within the five degrees of mourning, first the closest and then the distant. If there are no children, the distant relatives or the same surname can be appointed.

In this way, the daughter of Wang may actually have nothing except the dowry. If the heir is more ruthless, the daughter of Wang may not even get the dowry."

"How can it be so?" After all, the girls were still young, and no one in the family talked to them about this, so they didn't know about the matter of appointing an heir.

Daiyu was perceptive. "Mammy, you just said 'let someone from the same clan inherit'. Does that mean Mr. Wang won't have an heir?"

"The young lady is smart." Nanny Han praised her first, then shook her head. "Although it is not mandatory to adopt an heir, if someone in the clan who is eligible for adoption objects, the clan elders can, after his death, in the presence of the government office, request that the deceased be adopted as an heir.

Fortunately, Mr. Wang has no close relatives, only a distant nephew who is five degrees of mourning. But this is still risky. After all, people with the same surname can be adopted as an heir, let alone a distant nephew."

Daiyu and the other three sisters breathed a sigh of relief, then raised their concerns. Nanny Han said, "In order for his daughters not to be left without support after his death, Mr. Wang found a clause in the Law that if a household is extinct, there will be other arrangements, and the biological daughters born can inherit the property.

The so-called extinction of a household means having daughters but no sons. Mr. Wang meets this condition, especially since he has no nephews within five degrees of mourning.

But to be on the safe side, Mr. Wang found two good friends, handed over his entrustment to them, and told one of them that he would marry his concubine's daughter to his son, and the family property would be his daughter's dowry."

"That's good." Yingchun said.

"I'm afraid there are still some accidents." Daiyu and Tanchun shook their heads.

Sure enough, Han Ma continued, "But even so, that distant nephew still sued the government office and demanded the inheritance. This matter caused a big fuss at the time, because this distant nephew still had the possibility of inheritance, but Mr. Wang left a request.

The local prefect weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and finally, after the two good friends of Mr. Wang went to great lengths, the family property was awarded to Wang's daughter."

Daiyu, the three sisters, and Tanchun were born in official families, so they naturally understood what "running around" meant.

Nanny Han said, "I'm telling you this story today because it's quite interesting and it's related to girls. Secondly, I want to tell you that most girls have a hard time.

Families like ours are much better than others, but girls are still weak.

The old ancestor invited us here, so we have to teach the girls to understand more about things and have more skills, so that they can handle any situation in the future."

Outside, the old lady also found it quite interesting. She felt that she knew a lot of common sense and had a better understanding of the world. But when she looked at the screen, she was immediately shocked -

"You think, this Nanny Han is also a time traveler?"

"Upstairs, I thought so too, especially the Wang girl she mentioned. Damn, if it wasn't for the different ending, I almost thought she was talking about Lin Daiyu. Lin Ruhai is a family without a family." "

And it is said that Lin Ruhai also has an agreement with Jia's mother to marry into the Jia family." "

No, no, I just speculate that Lin Ruhai has such an arrangement, not necessarily an engagement. '

'And those two good friends, could they be alluding to the Jia Mansion?

' 'This, this, this... shouldn't be the case. The host asked the two maids to stop talking about "romance", so this maid Han decided to talk about "Laws and Decrees". '

'But why talk about something else?'

'And don't you think this maid is particularly problematic? She talked about extinction, talking about extinction in the Jia Mansion, who is she cursing?'

'The above said that it is true, and they are not afraid of the Jia Mansion being substituted. '

'It is because the Jia Mansion is not going to be extinct that they will talk about it. What are you thinking about? The maid also said that it was because this matter was a big deal in Jiangnan, and it was related to a girl, so they thought of talking about it. '

'Anyway, it's quite strange, host, try it out. '

'Yes, host. '

'Anchor...'

...

The old lady's eyes immediately became deep, she waved her hand and told Yuanyang, "Ask Han Mama to come to me later."

Outside Rongqing Hall, Han Mama pinched her palms nervously, and then turned into the inner hall. As soon as the warm room was over, she was stopped by Yuanyang, and she knew that the old lady had been outside the warm room just now, so she was a little at a loss.

"Greetings to the old lady. I wonder why the old lady called me here." Nanny Han bowed neither servilely nor arrogantly. After all, she came from the Queen Mother's side, and she calmed down after a while.

The old lady raised her eyelids slightly, and unconsciously, she had some of the demeanor of an old lady who lived a life of luxury. "Nanny Han, sit down and talk." Then a maid brought a small stool over.

"Nanny Han is quite knowledgeable, but I don't know what she is in charge of in the palace," the old lady asked in a roundabout way.

"Replying to the old lady, I have been teaching the palace rules and etiquette to all the young ladies, and sometimes I also train the talented women and palace maids. Because I know many families, the Queen Mother asked me to come here to teach a few girls." Nanny Han said.

The old lady quickly looked at the screen.

"The general election is held every three years. This is the selection of concubines. The palace will send a nanny to teach the selected families the palace rules and etiquette. This should be the former. '

'In addition, all daughters between thirteen and fifteen years old from the bondservants of the three inner banners must enter the palace to be selected. This is to select female officials and palace maids once a year. Xue Baochai is one of them.'

Immediately, a big shot gave a reply.

As for "many families I know", the old lady thought that the queen mother must have thought that she invited the nanny to consider Lin Daiyu's marriage.

The old lady nodded, "Madam, how did you think of telling the girls about the "Laws and Regulations", and why did you choose such an example to tell? Do you think this extinct family..."

"Plop" Nanny Han knelt on her knees, "Old Madam, I have no such intention."

The old lady waved her hand, "Don't be afraid, say what you think."

"Yes, old lady, there is a reason for this." Nanny Han said earnestly, "In the past forty years, I have seen all kinds of girls the most. The girls in the old lady's family are all very outstanding. When the Queen Mother sent me here, she asked me to teach them everything I know. I also like these four girls in my heart and I want to be open-hearted to them."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lady Jia, who had a faint expression, and continued, "The old lady may know that most of the people who come into the palace every year are the apple of the adults' eyes, but they can be innocent at home, but they have to control their tempers when they enter the palace.

When some kind-hearted maids teach them, they first let them recognize their own identities, and then teach them the palace rules. If those impatient maids are too impatient to do these guidance, they can only hit their heads against the wall and then turn back, but hitting their heads against the wall in the palace, I'm afraid..." "

Fuck, what ghost story are you telling?"

"Anchor, from the facial expressions and small movements, I can't find any signs of wearing. '

The old lady pondered, "So you..."

"Just like what I said, since it is to let them know themselves, what can be more real than what girls can get in the "Law"?" Nanny Han paused and explained fiercely, "I have observed that several girls in your family, Miss Lin usually thinks a lot; Miss Yingchun is a little weak; Miss Tanchun is quite strong, but she is particularly concerned about her background; Miss Xichun is still young, but because she is young, she is less childish and less courageous."

The old lady said, "Go on."

Nanny Han breathed a sigh of relief, "People are often less courageous, more thoughtful, more cautious, and more concerned about certain things when they are unclear about their situation and their own understanding. "

'Fuck, this nanny is right. ' '

Lin Daiyu is living under someone else's roof, and she doesn't know what her future will be like, so she is cautious and careful not to make mistakes. '

'Although Xichun is a legitimate daughter, how could Jia Zhen care about his sister who is born of the same mother? She lives in the west courtyard, which is also considered to be living under someone else's roof. '

'Tanchun cares a lot about her origin, and is even a little snobbish. Because she is a concubine's daughter, her future marriage is not in her hands, nor in her mother's hands, but in the hands of Lady Wang. Her mother is also a scoundrel, and her position is very embarrassing. '

'Yingchun and Xichun are a bit similar. '

'This nanny has said less. They may not have a clear understanding of themselves, but they do not have enough knowledge and basis to let them find a way to save themselves. For example, Tanchun, in fact, in "Law and Order", Tanchun's marriage can be completely decided by Jia Mu, but she usually flatters Lady Wang more. ' '

It should be that Jia Mu does not care about things, so Tanchun puts her hopes on Lady Wang. '

'Tanchun finally married far away because Jia Mu and Lady Wang both passed away, and she ended up like this. "

Nanny Han saw that the old lady was lost in thought, and she paused before saying, "So I will start with the "Laws and Regulations", and then teach them from our usual etiquette. The girls will understand the truth, feel confident, and naturally know how to deal with various occasions."

The old lady nodded slowly, "Let's do it this way. Thank you for your hard work, Nanny."

"Grandma, you are too polite." Nanny Han said immediately.

"Yuanyang, take my pair of Canaan fragrance beads to the two maids." A maid immediately helped Nanny Han up, and Yuanyang responded.

The old lady said, "You will take care of and teach them in the future. I naturally hope that they will get better."

I overestimated myself and thought I could talk about Jia She, but it was so stuck that I was dying~
