Chapter 55: Hayashiya

The Lin family is the largest grain merchant in Yanbei.
The head of the Lin family now is the elder of the Lin family, the father of the fifth wife Lin.
When Lin's father's grandfather died a few decades ago, the Lin family once divided the family. Lin's grain shop was divided equally between Lin's two brothers, Lin's grandfather and uncle. The Lin family's grain shop has tripled under the efforts of the brothers.
It's a pity that Lin's grandfather and cousin met a culprit when they were away from home, and were robbed and killed. Only the cousin's wife who was pregnant in the second room of the Lin family was left.
Lin's cousin had been pregnant for eight months at the time. After hearing the bad news about her husband and father-in-law, she could not suffer premature delivery. In the end, she managed to give birth to her husband's posthumous child and died on the delivery bed.
After that, Lin Jiafang took over the business of Erfang, took the premature grandnephew of Erfang to the mansion to take care of him, and named him Lin Kun.
Because Lin Kun was born prematurely at eight months, everyone thought it was not enough. But the child's vitality is very tenacious, and he has grown up peacefully.
Lin Kun was raised by the old lady Qiu in the long house since he was a child, and he was in love with his biological grandchildren. When Lin Kun was seventeen years old, he begged Mrs. Lin to marry Ren Shijia, a girl from the Ren family.
Ren Shijia is the daughter of Mrs. Lin's maiden niece, and she is naturally happy to see it happen. The Ren family did not refuse the Lin family's courtship because of certain considerations, and married Ren Shijia to Lin Kun, the second roommate of the Lin family.
It was also an expedient measure that Lin's family house took over the second room business back then. After Lin Kun grew up, the Lin family's second room business should be returned to the second room. But after so many years, Lin's family house has never meant to return the business, and only treats Lin Kun as the grandson of the long house.
But Lin's parents have many grandchildren, and there is a huge difference in whether Lin Kun is a second-bedroom or a big-bedroom.
At this time the eldest wife came in, and Ren Shijia smiled and called her sister-in-law.
The eldest wife said warmly: "I have sent someone to tidy up your Nuanxiang Pavilion, do you want to go and take a look?"
The old lady opened her eyes at this time, but she said to Lin: "You and Shi Jia have always been good. If you know her preferences, you can go to Xiangnuan Pavilion with your sister-in-law to help her see. Jia will surely be satisfied too. She just came back and she is heavy, so I should rest here now."
Lin hurriedly got up with a smile, and said to Ren Shijia: "Then I'll go and see for you. If there is anything that needs to be replaced, I will replace it for you. Don't say you don't like it again."
Ren Shijia groaned: "Who Wusao likes, I must like it. Thank you, Dasao and Wusao, for making you tired."
"What is this? We are all happy to be able to come back."
Lin patted Ren Shijia's hand and walked with his wife and retired.
Li looked at the old lady and Ren Shijia's mother and daughter, and after thinking about it, she got up and said, "Since my aunt is going to rest, I will go down with the child."
She could also see that there must be something for Ren Shijia when he came back, but she had never had the opportunity to speak with old lady Ren alone, so she knew she wanted to leave.
The old lady nodded: "You go down first."
Ren Shijia smiled friendly and said: "Sansao is free, remember to take Yaohua and Yaoqi to my yard to play."
Li returned her with a smile and nodded.
Ren Shijia's attitude towards Li is quite friendly, especially since she has been married into the Lin family and has never been able to give birth to a child, so she is particularly able to appreciate the suffering of Li without a son.
Li took Ren Yaoqi and Ren Yaohua's sisters and retired.
Only then did the old lady reject the people who were serving on her side, and sat up: "Why are you back now? What happened?"
Ren Shijia's eyes were red, and finally bowed her head and sobbed.
Old lady Ren frowned, but she sighed: "What are you crying? Be careful to hurt your body, it's not good for the child."
Ren Shijia cried immediately, and quickly took out her veil and wiped her tears, sucking her maidservant and said, "Mother, I'm so scared, I...I dare not stay at Lin's house anymore."
The old lady Ren originally thought that Ren Shijia came back because the husband and wife had something awkward, but now she heard this sentence, she couldn't help being surprised: "What happened?"
Ren Shijia rushed into the arms of the old lady Ren, her face turned pale: "After I was pregnant, the Lin family arranged a small kitchen for me. I wrote to my aunt before asking her to help me find a Jiangnan cook. Aunt Tian sent me two cooks, one is good at cooking Jianghuai cuisine and the other is good at cooking medicated food."
The aunt in Ren Shijia's mouth is the old lady Ren's relatives, the old lady in charge of the Fang family in Jiangning, and Aunt Fang's aunt.
The old lady patted Ren Shijia on the back gently: "I heard your aunt's letter mentioned this matter, why is there something wrong with the two cooks?"
Ren Shijia shook her head: "It's not the cook who has the problem, but... it's the Lin family's problem. The cook who can cook medicated food can also cure some women's stubborn illnesses. That time I asked her to show me whether the fetus in the abdomen is healthy. , She actually saw that my previous miscarriages were...because of being tampered with!"
"What!" The old lady Ren almost jumped up in shock. She pressed Ren Shijia's shoulder and said sharply, "Jia'er, do you know what else you are talking about?"
Ren Shijia nodded with lingering fears: "Daughter knows. My daughter was shocked when she heard this at first, and she couldn't believe it. My daughter was in Lin's house these years, and the old lady and eldest lady treated me very well. The wife also asked me to follow the lady’s butler, and the concubines in the long room were not as good as me. I never gave birth to a child for the Xianggong, and the old lady did not let the Xianggong accept a concubine. She also asked the eldest wife to help me. I still feel that I am a lucky woman. But... But this time I told Xianggong what the cook told me, and Xianggong quietly found a doctor with good medical skills for me. The doctor said that I and Xianggong are in good health. It stands to reason. There should be no frequent miscarriage."
Old lady Ren frowned and said suspiciously: "The doctor you saw before didn't see it right? Didn't I even give you a few experienced women? They didn't see it either?"
Ren Shijia said: "I asked those two stable wives for questioning again. They said they just thought I was weak and lack of blood and energy, so they also paid attention to helping me to replenish my blood and vitality, but they couldn't see that my health was not good. Is it natural or victimized? As for the doctors who ask me for my pulse on weekdays, they are all old ladies who are used to them. I...mother, what should I do? I am afraid that this child will also be victimized. The harm is gone. In another year I will be 30 years old, and wife Wen said that when the time comes to be pregnant with a child, childbirth will be even more difficult. Mother, save me, save me..."
Mrs. Ren was frightened when she heard it, and she hurriedly comforted her daughter: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, no one can hurt you if you have a mother. Mom, let me ask the doctor to come into the house to get your pulse. I will definitely help you keep the baby in your abdomen. . You can stay at home with peace of mind, and the Lin family should not go back."
"This time I came back to my natal family on the pretext of having a dispute with the Xiang Gong. The old lady and the old lady sent someone to persuade me twice on the way. They will definitely send someone back." Ren Shijia worried.
The old lady patted Ren Shijia on the shoulder: "I will block you back, you don't care about anything, just take care of your baby."
Ren Shijia sat up from the arms of the old lady Ren: "Mother, if this thing is true, what will the daughter do? If it is true, they, they are too vicious. The old lady is my aunt and grandmother! "
Old lady Ren frowned and thought about things in her heart. She didn't answer Ren Shijia's words, but said: "When your father comes back, I will discuss with him, you pretend that you don't know anything first." Said that the old lady recruited the maid. Come in and ask her to kiss a doctor who she knows every day and come into the house to get Ren Shijia's pulse.
When the maid went out, the old lady Ren confessed to Ren Shijia again: "What you said just now, remember not to talk to your fifth brother and fifth sister, and don’t let them see any clues. You have to insist on the outside because it’s right. Auntie came back because he was dissatisfied, you know?"
"Yes, mother, daughter knows." Ren Shijia promised hurriedly.
Soon afterwards, the fifth wife Lin came and said that she had already visited Ren Shijia's Nuanxiang Pavilion and added a few small items.
The old lady let Ren Shijia go back to rest.
When the doctor entered the mansion, the old lady asked the doctor to explain to her in her yard before letting him go to Nuanxiangge to give Ren Shijia a pulse.
At noon, when the old man came back, the old lady withdrew again and talked to the old man about Ren Shijia's suspicion.
"...Speaking of it, I thought something was wrong a long time ago, so after Jia'er got pregnant this time, I gave her two trustworthy women. A few years ago, the Lin family also said that they wanted Jia'er's grandson in the long room. Pick a boy among the children to adopt. But the child’s biological parents have not died yet, and will he be married to his biological parents when he grows up? The abacus of the long room is very successful."
"What did Li Sheng say?" The old lady Ren, who walked slowly a few steps, stopped and asked.
The ritual life in his mouth is the word of Ren Shi Jiafu's son-in-law Lin Kun.
The old lady Ren said, "Don't you know the temper of my uncle? That's the best thing! I also liked him at the beginning, so I agreed to marry my daughter, but this was the result. The Lin family came to ask for marriage at the beginning. Jia'er said it was good, my aunt also said that he was begging for his nephew in the second room, but now this second room has become a long room. If Jia'er really has something wrong, they don’t want the Lin family. Think about it! It's really unreasonable! I confessed their Lin family girl as a daughter, but they are doing my daughter.
The old lady Ren became more and more angry, and she couldn't control her voice.
