The little angel who did not subscribe enough saw the anti-theft badge,

It returned to normal after 24 hours ~

In Jia Shu's previous life, she had seen many couples or couples who had never thought of having children. Every time they had sex, they had taken protective measures, but in the end, they still managed to get pregnant. However, she had also seen many couples who were too eager to have children.

They were too nervous,

They could not get pregnant,

They later complained and quarreled with each other, leading to a divorce.

However, after the divorce, both of them quickly had children with their new partners, which happened many times.

At first,

Jia Shu actually couldn't quite understand this situation.

Most of the people around her had gotten pregnant within a year of marriage.

If they were not afraid of being fined,

It was normal to have two children in three years.

But after seeing so many couples tense up when talking about children, she was gradually able to understand them.

When she first watched Dream of the Red Chamber,

Jia Su found it hard to understand why Lin Ruhai and Jia Min only got pregnant with Lin Daiyu in their thirties. Later, she found out that the Lin family had not had many children, so she reluctantly had an answer.

But now, Mother Lin's attitude made Jia Su wonder if Mother Lin was also like this when Jia Min married Lin Ruhai in her previous life.

She did not care about anything and even helped to promote Lin Ruhai's relationship with his wife,

But her only request was to let them have a child?

This pressure was too great.

Her mother-in-law did not set rules for her. After she married, she immediately gave her power to manage the backyard,

And she did not interfere in her son's relationship with his wife.

For example, she gave her son a maid or something..

Such a mother-in-law, to the ancients,

Was really a first-class mother-in-law.

But Mother Lin's only request was to have a grandson as soon as possible,

Jia Min could not satisfy her, even if Mother Lin only mentioned it from time to time because she was in a hurry. She did not want them to get pregnant in one or two years..

The Lin family had only one child for several generations. Most of the time, they had children in their middle years. Mother Lin herself only had Lin Ruhai in her thirties or forties. She must have been mentally prepared.

But how could the guilt in Jia Min's heart and the tension in her mind be relieved?

Her mother-in-law treated her so well and only had one request, but she couldn't fulfill it …

Anyone with a bit of conscience wouldn't be able to feel at ease, right?

Now that Jia Min had married someone else, what could she do if she, Jia Su, had to bear this sweet pain?

Of course …

Cold dressing!

The Lin family was destined to have no descendants. Why did she have to make things difficult for herself?

Jia Su had never sacrificed himself for others. Just because of someone else's request that had nothing to do with his survival, he ended up in such a miserable state.

Lin Ruhai was persuaded by Mother Lin and wanted to personally deliver the gift to the Jia Manor.

If she was still sleeping soundly in her room when he arrived in Rongguo Province, not to mention the Lin family, even the people in Rongguo Province, who were very indulgent towards her, couldn't help but mutter, right?

With this thought, Jia Su hurriedly flapped her wings and flew back to Rongguo Province.

Not long after she arrived at her room, someone came to report that the Lin family's third place winner had personally arrived in Rongguo Province. He brought many gifts and asked if she wanted to meet him.

Of course she wanted to meet him!

If it weren't for Mother Lin, the ten or so pieces of jewelry that originally belonged to her would have been reduced to one. She was really curious about what Lin Ruhai was thinking.

Unfortunately, when she arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Lin Ruhai wasn't there.

Cui Shu's face was full of worry, "Young master's superior sent someone to look for him. He said that His Excellency had something to discuss with him. He had no choice but to let this servant wait here for Third Miss."

Jia Su was a bit disappointed.

Cui Shu hurriedly handed several wooden boxes to Cui Yan and said at the same time, "Young master personally went to Ruyi Square to choose these gifts. I hope Third Miss will like them."

Jia Su took the boxes and thought about what was inside. Her mood immediately rose to the peak, "Please thank your young master for me."

Cui Shu nodded shyly and smiled embarrassedly.

-

Back to Lin Ruhai's side.

Because he was too young when he passed the Grand Scholar examination, and because of his outstanding appearance, he only got third place. Because of this, he had no choice but to stay at Hanlin Academy as an editor.

An editor was just an insignificant position that wasn't worth mentioning. However, his superior, the Chancellor, was an official with real power and was known as the "Internal Minister".

Since his superior wanted to meet someone, he had no choice but to abandon the things in his hands and meet him.

However, Lin Ruhai didn't expect that the Chancellor didn't look for him because of official business, but because he wanted to be a matchmaker.

Of course, he didn't have the courage to go against the Emperor's favored Duke Rongguo. He only wanted to give him a beautiful concubine.

This concubine's identity was also very presentable.

One of the daughters of the Chancellor's concubines.

Because he was going to make a living under the Chancellor in the future, Lin Ruhai had already asked his former schoolmates and teachers to help him find out about this person and any rumors related to her.

Among them, there was information related to this concubine's daughter that the Chancellor wanted to betroth to him.

She was as beautiful as a flower, extremely talented, dignified and virtuous …

In short, all kinds of good words were piled on her. She was a living example of a "talented woman".

From the looks of it, she seemed to be very compatible with Lin Ruhai.

However, Lin Ruhai's heart was in turmoil. Logically speaking, he hadn't even gotten married and he had already brought home a talented woman who was famous and seemed to be more compatible with him. The key point was that his fiancée obviously wasn't a talented woman …

Did he want to die, or did he want to die?

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he couldn't do this, right?

Wasn't this trampling on the face of his fiancée and his future in-laws?

Lin Ruhai was silent for a long time. He still felt that he was still young and didn't want to die young. Thus, he chose to reject without hesitation.

The Chancellor was very unhappy. "Ruhai, although my daughter is not a good person, she has been studying since she was young. Could it be that in your heart, she can't be compared to the daughter of a peasant?"

With these words, if he didn't pay attention, he would have offended his superior.

But …

In front of him, a descendant of a noble, how could his superior say that Duke Rong, a super Duke, was a bumpkin and that his daughter could not even compare to the daughter of a secondary second rank Chancellor?

The ancients believed that there was a scientific basis for the fact that a married couple's sexual intercourse was more conducive to bearing children.

Modern people ate a balanced diet and their living conditions were much better than ancient times. However, even though so many people wanted to have children, there were still many couples who couldn't conceive even after preparing for more than a year. The key point was that the hospital couldn't find anything wrong with them.

Why?

There was nothing wrong with them at all!

It was just because they had to constantly prepare for childbirth that these couples couldn't even devote themselves to sexual intercourse.

Psychology would affect physiology, so it wasn't surprising that they couldn't conceive in the end.

In Jia Su's previous life, she had seen many couples who didn't want to have children and took protective measures every time they had sex. However, she had also seen many couples who couldn't conceive because they were too anxious and nervous to have children. Later on, they resented each other and quarreled, resulting in divorce.

However, after the divorce, there were many couples who quickly had children with their new partners.

In the beginning, Jia Su couldn't understand this situation.

The people around her had all gotten pregnant within a year of marriage. If they weren't afraid of being fined, it was normal for them to have two children in three years.

But after seeing so many couples tense up when talking about children, she was gradually able to understand them.

But now, Jia Su couldn't help but wonder if Jia Min's mother was like this a few years before she married Lin Ruhai in her previous life. She didn't care about anything and even helped to promote Lin Ruhai's relationship with his wife. Her only request was for them to conceive a child.

This was too much pressure.

Her mother-in-law didn't set rules for her. After she married, she immediately gave her the power to manage the backyard and didn't interfere with her son's relationship with his wife.

For example, she gave her son a maid or something …

Such a mother-in-law was a first-class good mother-in-law to the ancient people.

But Jia Min couldn't fulfill Lin Ruhai's mother's only request to have a grandson early. Even if Lin Ruhai's mother was anxious and mentioned it from time to time, she didn't want them to get pregnant in one or two years —

The Lin family had only one child for several generations. Most of the time, they had a child in their middle age. Lin Ruhai's mother was in her thirties or forties when she had Lin Ruhai. She must have been mentally prepared.

But how could the guilt in Jia Min's heart and the tension in her mind be relieved?

Her mother-in-law was so good to her and only had one request, but she couldn't fulfill it …

Anyone with a little conscience wouldn't be able to feel at ease, right?

Now that Jia Min had married someone else, Jia Su had to bear this kind of sweet pain. What could she do?

Of course, she could …

Eat a salad!

The Lin family was doomed to have no children. Why would she make things difficult for herself?

Jia Su didn't sacrifice herself for others. Just because of someone else's request that didn't have anything to do with her survival, she ended up in such a miserable state.

Lin Ruhai was persuaded by Lin Ruhai's mother and wanted to deliver the gifts to the Jia family himself.

If she was still sleeping in her room when he arrived at Rongguo Province, not to mention the Lin family, even the Rongguo Province, which was very indulgent towards her, couldn't help but mutter, right?

With this thought, Jia Su hurriedly flapped her wings and flew back to Rongguo Province.

Of course, she wanted to meet him!

If it weren't for Lin Ruhai's mother, the dozens of jewelry that originally belonged to her would have been reduced to one. She was really curious about Lin Ruhai's thoughts.

Unfortunately, when she arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Lin Ruhai wasn't there.

Holding the book with a worried expression, he said, "Young master's superior sent someone to find him. He said that His Excellency had something to discuss with him. He had no choice but to let me wait here for Third Miss."

Jia Su was a bit disappointed.

Holding the book hurriedly handed several wooden boxes to Cui Yan and said, "Young master personally went to Ruyi Square to pick out these gifts. I hope Third Miss will like them."

Jia Su took the boxes and thought about what was inside. Her mood immediately rose to the peak, "Thank your young master for me."

Holding the book nodded shyly and smiled embarrassedly.

The Chancellor was very unhappy, "Ruhai, although my daughter isn't a good person, she has been studying since she was young. Could it be that in your heart, she can't be compared to the daughter of a noble from a bumpkin background?"

If he didn't pay attention to his words, he would have offended his superior.

But …

In front of him, a descendant of a noble, how could his superior say that Duke Rongguo was a bumpkin and that his daughter couldn't be compared to the daughter of a second-ranked Chancellor?

If not, she really couldn't understand why Jia Su suddenly wanted to do business, and even wanted them to help.

Jia Su also knew that it would be difficult for her to gain the approval of her two concubine sisters, but …

"Sisters, don't tell me you don't have a single shop in your dowry?"

No one was a fool. Who didn't know that doing business would make money?

Even if they didn't dare to act recklessly due to rumors, would these people at the top of society easily give up the benefits that were at their fingertips?

Jia Gu was stunned. Of course, she had more than one shop in her hands.

But before Jia Su pointed it out, she never thought that these shops were actually a kind of business and could be looked down upon by others. "But, isn't everyone doing this?"

Which noble girl in the capital didn't bring a few shops as her dowry when she got married?

"Is running a dowry shop not a business?"

Jia Su looked at her two concubine sisters seriously, "Moreover, the shops in your hands can't always be the same as the dowry, right?

After all these years, didn't you buy a few more to earn some private savings? "

They didn't need to answer. Jia Su knew the answer herself.

Jia Zhi was more decisive. She immediately said, "Third sister, what kind of business are you planning to do?" As she spoke, her gaze fell on the boy beside her. Her eyes were obscure.

Jia Su narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to Chi Xia.

Chi Xia understood tacitly and immediately called a few maids to take the four children to the courtyard to play.

After they left, Jia Su said, "Rouge and face powder."

Jia Zhi lowered her eyes and looked indifferent, "There are at least seven or eight rouge and face powder businesses in the capital, if not more than a dozen. Each of them has their own unique formula and has already established a firm foothold in the capital.

If third sister also plans to open a rouge and face powder shop, I advise you to give up. "

It had only been two or three generations since the Rongguo Mansion had been established. The matriarchs who had married into the family had similar backgrounds. They had not accumulated many secret recipes at all, let alone unimportant things such as rouge and face powder.

Even the rouge and face powder that Madam Jashi used were specially sent to the shops to buy.

Without the "secret formula" to distinguish their rouge and face powder from other shops, even if they were backed by Rongguo Province, they could only wait to close down. They didn't need to be suppressed by their peers.

At first, Jia Su paid attention to Jia Gu. But after she said this, she realized that among the two concubine-sisters, this second sister, who didn't show off, was the one who really made the decision.

With this thought, her attitude towards Jia Zhi became much more serious, "I have a few unique formulas."

In this era, rouge and face powder were cosmetics. Although they were safer and more harmless than modern cosmetics, there were fewer patterns!

Even if she had lived on the frontlines of war in her previous life, she was still a woman. Not to mention other things, at least she knew about the various colors of lipstick.

After transmigrating, it was inevitable for her to dislike rouge that had a single color and could only rely on shades and gradients to add color.

Fortunately, although Cui Yan was lively, she had a good ability to make rouge. As long as Jia Su asked for a color, she could make the corresponding product.

After so many years, she had saved more than a few formulas.

It seemed that her third sister wasn't doing it on a whim and had already prepared to open a rouge shop.

But …

"Sister, why did you choose the two of us?"

Jia Zhi didn't want to belittle herself, but she was an unfavored concubine of the Marquis's Mansion. She didn't have much power and didn't have much affection for her third sister. How could such a good thing, which was almost equivalent to giving away money, fall on her head?

Wouldn't it be better to cooperate with her fourth sister?

Jia Su sighed, "I'm preparing to sell a few shops that I've taken a fancy to, but I don't have enough money at the moment.

And in the early stages of opening the shop, I need someone to oversee it for me. "

Jia Zhi looked at the banknotes in her and Jia Gu's hands, "These aren't enough?"

"I can't make any moves before I get married."

Jia Zhi pondered for a moment and immediately nodded, "I agree."

Jia Gu was stunned. She looked at Jia Su and then at Jia Zhi. She still couldn't make up her mind and could only say, "I'll give my third sister an answer in a few days."

Jia Su nodded and didn't show any displeasure.

Jia Su had always thought that most of the men in ancient times were only good at being officials and would be at a loss when it came to other professions.

But women were different. Not only did they have basic skills like zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, women's work, and housekeeping, they also had to be proficient in financial and human affairs.

Their own dowry was fine, but part of it was just land, gold, silver, jewelry, and ornaments. There weren't many areas that needed to be managed.

But the husband's family's property was needed to support the entire family. Not to mention increasing income and reducing expenditure, but they couldn't let these properties suffer a deficit in their hands, right?

In ancient times, the matriarchs of the family were all top-notch management talents.

Jia Su suddenly had the idea of pulling her two concubine-born sisters into a business partnership. She hadn't prepared to persuade them. Now that one of them agreed and the other considered, she had already profited.

As for the possibility of changing the original life trajectory of her two concubine-born sisters?

That would be an additional gain.

After the three of them finished discussing business, they let Chi Xia bring the four children back into the house.

But when they came in, the three of them were shocked to find that the oldest boy of the four children had bruises on his face.

Jia Su was shocked, "Chi Xia, what's going on?"

Chi Xia's gaze moved back and forth between the four children. She couldn't help but look at the eldest and second miss who had brought them here. Then, under Jia Su's urging gaze, she pointed at the oldest child and said, "Young Master Hu wanted to play with the three young masters and miss. Because of his improper actions, he pushed Miss Liu down. Then the two young masters fought with Young Master Hu."

Although Young Master Hu was the oldest, the four children were still young. At most, they were only one or two years older than the others.

One against two, wouldn't he be beaten up?
