The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous
Chapter 167 Nephew Like Uncle
As soon as the words of passing on the family line came out, Xu Qingheng glanced at Jia Lian, thinking that his internal injuries would never heal?
Youshi secretly thought that Jia Lian did not take Jia Cong seriously.
Shi Xiangyun said again: "The godson is willing to be the son-in-law."
"Don't piss and take a photo, if he wants, I'll agree?" Jia Lian sneered.
Shi Xiangyun was at a loss for what to do in embarrassment, and said for a long time: "Because the Xue family's business has been favored by Mr. Xian, he acted as a matchmaker for Mr. Xian."
Xu Qingheng pushed Jia Lian, and said with a smile, "Go and play with the dog, and let me go ahead and have a look."
When Jia Lian heard this, he barked and led the pollen-covered dog to Pear Fragrance Court.
Xu Qingheng glanced at the pavilion where Yingchun went, and said to Youshi, Xiangyun, and Xichun: "Please sit with her, the three of you, and don't mention the godson of the eunuch, lest Yingchun be overwhelmed."
"Understood." Shi Xiangyun agreed with a guilty conscience.
After Xu Qingheng finished speaking, she walked forward slowly holding the handkerchief, crossed an arched bridge, got on the sedan chair, and had someone carry her forward.
In the sedan chair, I thought, since Jia Lian said those words, she must know that her internal injuries are hard to heal. If so, she should give up, otherwise, if Jia Lian is forced to take medicine and needles, he will hate him instead. fuck her.She also thought that Yingchun was very obedient, and that the children she gave birth to be raised by her side would be more obedient than children adopted from other people's homes.
After thinking about it, I arrived at Jia Mu's backyard, stepped on the big rocky rock, entered the yard, and vaguely heard a girl whispering behind a clump of tuberose. The book stood out from the flowers.
Seeing Xu Qingheng coming, the servant quickly whispered in her ear: "Grandma, it was Princess Zhongshun who led the way, and Mrs. Xue had no choice but to come here brazenly."
"Princess Zhongshun?" Xu Qingheng thought to himself, didn't the prince of Zhongshun send a message to ignore these things?Why did he stand up for that Xian father-in-law again?
Hongyu also stepped forward and said: "I know the details of this matter most clearly. Our grandma went to Qianxiang Country by order. I sat in a sedan chair for grandma to go to the shop restaurant to reconcile the account that day. Ming said, "Sister, someone in the restaurant said you are in the Rongguo Mansion." After hearing this, I quietly went up the stairs to listen outside the private room, and I heard a person inside say, "Hey, it's really unlucky to do something for the princess. After chasing for three or four days, the birth plan fell on Liu Xianglian's hand, the other said, "What kind of thing is Liu Xianglian? It's just something that Rongguo Mansion doesn't want", and the other said, "The second master Lian of Rongguo Mansion can't give birth I have a child, and I don’t know who will own their huge family property in the future. The Rongguo Mansion is already very impressive, and I don’t know what will happen in the future.” Another said, “What about the Rongguo Mansion, now my godfather scared me I couldn't sleep even if I had to sleep, and I was afraid that if I closed my eyes, Xu Shining would lead someone to chop off his head. You said, Xu Shining has been making trouble for almost a year, why didn't it stop?' The other said, 'Seeing that you are born with two parts of beauty I also have a bit of literary talent in my belly, why don't I ask the princess to be the master and tell you to go to Rongguo Mansion as a son-in-law, if the princesses of the left and right have something to fall into my hands, she will also sell me two cents of thin noodles. First of all, she is a relative, and Xu Shining is not good Be cruel to your godfather. Secondly, Jia Lian can’t have children, and the princess will support you. In the future, the huge family property will be yours. I was afraid of being seen by others. I heard this, so I hurried down Lou. Within a few days, our wife was invited by Princess Zhongshun."
Xu Qingheng frowned slightly, and said in his mouth: "It's because you heard it that you can remember these words." He secretly thought that it would be difficult to deal with the Prince Zhongshun's mansion, so after thinking about it, he called Wu'er to listen carefully in her ear. After exhorting, Wu'er was asked to talk to Jia Lian.She went to Jia Mu's courtyard again by herself, and entered Jia Mu's apartment, and saw Jia Mu sitting on the couch with a smile on her face, and asked a little actor with apricot face and peach cheeks to kneel behind her and rub her shoulders , On the chairs under the couch, there are two wives of the Xue family and Mrs. Wang.
Seeing Xu Qingheng coming, Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Have you heard what Xiangyun said? Your aunt has met the young man of Xian's family. It is said that Eunuch Xian raised him for the elderly. He has slaves and maids just like our elder brother since he was a child." He waited on him, and when he was old, he invited his husband to come to his house to teach him. He also had a wide range of friends, and most of the children in the capital called him brothers and sisters. Besides, there was no mother-in-law, let alone brothers who were directly related. When he entered the door, it was our Jia family. There is no other burden." His brows and eyes are full of joy waiting to gloat.
Aunt Xue pursed her lips and smiled dully.
The second wife of the Xue family looked at Xu Qingheng with a smile, and then Mrs. Wang said: "Yingchun wants to recruit a son-in-law, but I can't find such a decent young man anymore."
Before Xu Qingheng could speak, Mother Jia suddenly coughed and said, "Hui'er is crying."
Sure enough, in Jiamu's green gauze cabinet, there was a baby crying loudly.
"Hurry up and coax me." Mother Jia urged.
Seeing the plump nurse rushing to the green gauze closet, she immediately brought out a baby wrapped in thin swaddling clothes.
Seeing that the baby was still crying, Jia's mother scolded: "It's useless, even a sister can't coax it." She took Jia Zhu's orphan from the nurse, shook it, and sure enough the crying stopped. Then he asked Xu Qingheng: "You just went to the garden at the back, are the lotus leaves in the garden growing well?"
Xu Qingheng said with a smile: "One side of the pond is covered tightly by lotus leaves, and the fish have to spend a lot of effort to push the lotus leaves away if they want to spit bubbles."
"Hui'er, let's go, let's have a look." Mother Jia asked the nanny to hug the child again, and she helped the little actors Fangguan and Ruiguan, and brought amber, glass, parrot, Douguan, Aiguan, Wenguan, The eggplant official, sunflower official, jade official, etc. all went to the garden behind in a mighty manner, leaving only a scent of young girl's powder that lingered for a long time.
Mrs. Wang and the two wives of the Xue family stood awkwardly at the entrance of the garden, and when they wanted to go with them, Mother Jia had already said that as long as a young girl was with them, or not, the three wives persuaded a young grandmother to give the girl Make a marriage.
The fact that this grandma was born may not necessarily be the master of my aunt.
"This old man is getting lazy more and more." Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth in her heart, and thought that although Yingchun came out very well, it was far from the stunning beauty of Daiyu, Baochai, and Baoqin, and it was not as good as Tanchun. In the future, there is a well-educated and handsome son who is willing to be the son-in-law, so what is there to be picky about?
"Lien's daughter-in-law..." Aunt Xue just opened her mouth when she suddenly heard the sound of broken porcelain in the alley only a hundred or two hundred steps away from the hanging flower gate.
After listening carefully, I can distinguish the voices of Jia Lian and Jia She.
I only heard Jia She said: "Brother Cong is very smart. I never heard that there are brothers, so I asked the sisters to carry on the family line. Besides, Yingchun's mother is just a concubine, and you were not born to the same mother."
"Since it is to carry on the family line, we must find a good-looking, smart person to carry on the lineage."
"What's wrong with Cong'er's looks and mind?"
"Master is getting old, the seeds have shriveled, can the seedlings grow well?"
"You are also born to me."
"When I was born, the master's seed was still young. Besides, the nephew is like an uncle, the daughter follows the father, and the son follows the mother. The son born in Yingchun followed Yingchun, and then followed you. It's like I followed the master again. What's wrong with inheriting the Rongguo Mansion?"
……
Xu Qingheng managed to hold back his smile, thinking that Jia Lian was very good at sophistry, so he went to see the two wives of the Xue family and Mrs. Wang, and saw that Aunt Xue was shocked, Mrs. Xue was very curious, and Mrs. Wang looked solemn.
"I asked my aunt to watch a joke with the two second wives." Xu Qingheng laughed.
Aunt Xue said with a smile, "It's just a coincidence that we came here." Because she thought it would be better to tell Jia Amnesty about Yingchun's marriage.Who would have thought that Mrs. Wang was holding her hand tightly, and she was suspicious for a moment, so she smiled and said to Xu Qingheng: "Go and play with Yingchun, Baoqin, and Xiangyun, and let's go talk to Zhu's daughter-in-law."
Xu Qingheng smiled and agreed, and first watched Mrs. Wang and the three of them go along the alley to the police station, and then stood at the back of the garden under the hanging flower gate. Seeing four or five women coming over with tea and tea, they asked: "What does the old lady do?"
A woman laughed and said: "The old lady likes the fragrance of lotus leaves, and she saw that Baoqin from the Xue family was born well, so she wanted to stay with her for two days. The garden is beating drums to pass flowers."
"Go." Xu Qingheng had seen Jia's mother's unwillingness to take care of things as early as when Bilian and Meng's came to Jia's house, and after Jia Zhu's funeral, she understood that Jia's mother was the one who would truly become rich at this age. Let go of those intrigues at home.After the old woman left, she fanned the wind with her handkerchief, and saw Jia Lian coming over in a very graceful manner, wearing a ivory-white embroidered bamboo shirt, gently shaking a large golden fan.
Xu Qingheng took two steps forward, Jia Lian put away his fan, "It's hot outside, don't come here to pick it up." After two steps, he stepped up the steps to the door of Chuihua, and asked, "Where are the two wives and the second wife of the Xue family?"
"It is said that I went to Jinghuanzhai to find beads and talk to my sister-in-law."
Jia Lian snorted, and seeing Xu Qingheng's cheeks flushed with heat, she took a fan and fanned her, "Go, go back to the back building and rest."
Xu Qingheng agreed, took two steps, and suddenly said, "Where's my dog?"
"Going crazy in the garden." Jia Lian went east along the back porch, turned into a corner door, and walked a hundred steps forward, then entered his own corner door and went up to the back building.
After going up to the second floor, after Jia Lian washed his hands, he sat cross-legged in front of the window behind the piano, plucking the strings every now and then.
Xu Qingheng lit incense for him, then moved his foot and sat down beside him, seeing that he was just wiping the piano indiscriminately and not playing any tunes, he smiled and said: "What you said just now was intended to quarrel with the second wife. Is it?"
Jia Lian closed her eyes and nodded slightly.
Xu Qingheng smiled and said: "It's lucky that you can treat your nephew as smoothly as uncle said. Seeing that the second wife just dragged Aunt Xue away, the second wife must know your attitude, so she would not allow a person who is loyal and obedient to the concubine to be assigned to Yingchun. In this way, We don't have to worry about how to reject the surname Xian, the second wife will find a way to refuse." After speaking, seeing that Jia Lian was silent, she abandoned her footsteps and squeezed next to Jia Lian on the small futon under him.
"Hot." Jia Lian said.
"...When the weather is cool, you can lie down with me for a while longer, since it's hot." Xu Qingheng leaned against Jia Lian and complained. Seeing that he complained a few words, he didn't say a word, so he said, "Welcoming Spring What should I do? Since you have said that you want your nephew to inherit the family business, she will become a favorite. In the future, it will be common for such smelly people to come to propose marriage. What do you care about?"
Jia Lian tapped lightly on the strings, and said with a smile, "Someone has brought the betrothal gift."
"What dowry?"
Jia Lian glanced at the west wall.
Xu Qingheng looked over, but saw it was a mandarin duck sword, and wondered to himself, wasn't this sword thrust into Jia Lian's hands the day Liu Xianglian and Jia Lian cut off their hair? "Already asked?"
"I asked."
Xu Qingheng breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that Liu Xianglian was very chivalrous and handsome, and expected that even though he was a widower, Yingchun would be happy, but there was still one difficulty, "Liu Xianglian is willing to have a child whose surname is Jia?"
"Why is your surname Jia?"
Xu Qingheng said in amazement: "The surname is not Jia, why..." Seeing that Jia Lian wanted to speak in her ear, he listened.
"Liu Xianglian's child is still surnamed Liu. I will leave all my money and connections to him, and I will leave all the ransacking and extermination of my family to those who rush to recognize me as my father."
"Why are you so bad?" Xu Qingheng's ears were a little itchy, he leaned back into Jia Lian's arms, and used his fingers to gouge his eyebrows.
Jia Lian embraced her waist, wiped her fingers on the strings, thinking that if there was nothing to do, it would be better to steal a day of leisure, so he stretched out his hand to cover Xu Qingheng's mouth, suddenly carried her on his shoulders and went to the bed .
When Wu'er and Liu'er heard the movement downstairs, they moved their stools and sat and watched in the shed downstairs at the back. When they saw Xiangyun and Yingchun coming, they rushed to meet them.
"Is the second sister-in-law here? The old lady just heard that Xichun can draw, so she asked the second sister-in-law to bring some painting things to her, and asked her to draw Fangguan, Ouguan and the others, and put them in the room as a picture of twelve beauties. "
Wu'er said with a smile, "I'll get it later." Then, he asked Xiangyun and Yingchun to go forward.
Yingchun was getting older, and Xiangyun was already married. Seeing Wu'er and Liu'er like this, she probably understood, so they pretended not to understand and came out.
Xiangyun went to Yingchun courtyard to read about a cup of tea, and when he heard that Mrs. Wang was going to take the two wives of the Xue family back to the east, he hurried out of Rongxi Hall to Jinghuanzhai.
In the Jinghuanzhai, Xiangyun saw Li Wan's eyes were red and swollen, and secretly thought that Mrs. Wang must have deliberately mentioned Jia Zhu in front of Li Wan again.
Because the east side did not prepare a special car for her, so when she returned to the east side, she took Mrs. Wang's car.
Mrs. Wang's eyes were dazed, and when she got out of the east corner gate, she asked Xiangyun, "Yingchun knows that her brother and sister-in-law are going to marry her to a eunuch as a godson?"
Xiangyun lowered his head and said, "My sister-in-law told me not to tell her."
Mrs. Wang snorted lightly, and she didn't like Xiangyun's tomboy dressing up, and she refused to say that she would have to spend money to cut new clothes for her. Thinking of Li Wan's monthly payment of ten taels of silver from Jia's mother, she couldn't help but think. The funeral star was so lucky, so he said to Xiangyun: "What did the old lady say when she saw you dressed like this?"
"The old lady only said that she looks like Baoyu from a distance."
"...the old lady gives your sister-in-law ten taels of silver every month, do you know?" Mrs. Wang said.
Shi Xiangyun knew the meaning of Mrs. Wang's words. She wanted her to be soft and stubborn, and she also got ten taels of silver a month from Jia Mu. Because she refused to say this, she pretended to be confused and said, "There is such a thing? It is also the old lady who is sympathetic to sister-in-law Zhu's orphans and widows who are struggling."
Mrs. Wang saw that Shi Xiangyun was pretending to be stupid, so she sneered and said: "After two years, you will become a mother too. It depends on whether you can play stupid again. Baoyu wants to save face, and works as an errand in the Beijing Palace, not to mention taking the money back. , but I have to pay a lot of fans and pendants every month. If you count on him, you can't count on it, and the master refuses to show his face to teach in Lixiangyuan. Seeing that you are living without food, you still refuse to put in some effort?"
Shi Xiangyun murmured: "The Zongli doesn't have ours..."
"Can the Zongli be trusted?" Mrs. Wang was afraid that Shi Xiangyun would reveal that she had sold the land in the Zongli, so she immediately interrupted Shi Xiangyun, and said in a cold voice: "Baoyu can't be wronged, Huan'er...then I am too lazy to talk to him Forget about it, now Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou leave a girl to serve each other, and I only leave four girls, Jin Chuan, Yu Chuan, Caifeng, and Cailuan, and Qin Xian's family, Jin Chuan's family and others are left in the mansion. The other two have a total of four servants."
"Why leave Qin Xian's family behind?" Shi Xiangyun asked, secretly thinking that her nurses would be sent away too?
Mrs. Wang glanced at Rongguo Mansion from the corner of her eye, and secretly swore: Even if there is only a handful of old bones left, Baoyu or Baoyu's descendants should send her to Rongxi Hall.Yin laughed and said: "Although your second brother Lian was vigilant and cut off the contacts between the servants of the two houses early, I did not hesitate. At that time, I sent Qin Xian's family to collect debts outside. Now Lian'er He forgot about it and called Qin Xian's family back. Qin Xian is the chess player's uncle, and he will be of great use in the future." Yin looked at Shi Xiangyun again, waiting for her to speak.
Shi Xiangyun secretly grabbed his sleeves, thought for a long time, then smiled and said: "Since Madam only has four maids left, then I will reduce one class, leaving only Cui Li and Nanny Zhou."
Mrs. Wang first felt that leaving only one girl was not good-looking, and then she thought that Shi Xiangyun would not go out as a guest. If someone came, it would be enough to ask Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan to go to her place to support the scene.
While speaking, he entered the black oil gate to the east.
This is the first time Mrs. Xue came here. After entering the Sanzhongyi Gate, Mrs. Xue was stunned as soon as she got off the sedan chair, thinking to herself that in this season when hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, why is this place like cold winter? He refused to place it, and seeing that the houses here were extremely crowded, he looked at Aunt Xue suspiciously.
Before Aunt Xue could speak, she suddenly heard a cry, and then saw a white-haired old woman trembling with tears, holding her hand and asking her to comment.
"Mrs. Xue's family, you come to judge. It was their uncle who kicked my grandson to death, so he swore that he would raise me until the end of his life. Who would have thought that his uncle ran away and neglected him from top to bottom. My mouth is thirsty. Yes, I shouted for a long time, but no one poured me a glass of water." Jia Dairu's old wife was talking, and tears fell down again.
Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "It's the girls below who are disobedient and ignorant. Wait for me to punish them." Seeing Cui Ling was there, she ordered Cui Ling to help Jia Dairu's old wife back to the room; Yun said: "Take the second wife to your room to talk, and ask the second wife to point out your needlework."
"Hey." Xiangyun agreed, and asked Mrs. Xue to go to Baosha.
Second Mrs. Xue saw Mrs. Wang's embarrassment, so she followed Xiangyun tactfully.
Aunt Xue couldn't help but her eyes were red, she looked at the empty yard where not even a sapling was seen, and said, "It's better to plant a few flowers in the yard, it will make people look more energetic."
"Insufficient manpower, all the good flowers are raised by the maids to death. The master said it is unlucky to look at withered flowers, so it is better not to plant them at all." Mrs. Wang glanced at Jin Chuan, saw Jin Chuan nodded, and knew that the room had been cleaned up When it's done, ask Aunt Xue to go into the room.
When Aunt Xue stepped into the room, she shed tears, pointing to the door, window, and wall decorations, she said: "These are all decorations for the day when Zhuer went to funeral."
Mrs. Wang choked up and said, "I saw you here, and I barely put it on to support the scene. Who knows that you recognized it again."
Hearing Mrs. Wang cry poorly, Aunt Xue became vigilant immediately, and secretly said that before Wang Xifeng left, she had been told to not lend money to Mrs. Wang, and she must keep this in mind, so as not to be coaxed away by Mrs. Wang again.
"Sit down here." Mrs. Wang pulled Aunt Xue to sit down on the top chair covered with old furniture, sighed softly and said, "Since you have seen it, I am not afraid of your jokes. Look at the west side What pomp, what pomp on my side?"
Aunt Xue reminded herself secretly: If Mrs. Wang hadn't sold the property in the Zongli earlier, how could this happen?So he smiled lightly and said: "There is Baoyu. I heard that Baoyu is very promising. I think Baoyu has been rewarded by the Beijing Palace, right?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, then suddenly asked: "What's the matter with Baochai? Haven't you seen the canon yet?"
Aunt Xue's complexion changed suddenly, and she forced a smile and said, "What is the canonization? Baochai's entry into the palace is just to accompany the Queen Mother to relieve boredom, so don't talk nonsense."
Youshi secretly thought that Jia Lian did not take Jia Cong seriously.
Shi Xiangyun said again: "The godson is willing to be the son-in-law."
"Don't piss and take a photo, if he wants, I'll agree?" Jia Lian sneered.
Shi Xiangyun was at a loss for what to do in embarrassment, and said for a long time: "Because the Xue family's business has been favored by Mr. Xian, he acted as a matchmaker for Mr. Xian."
Xu Qingheng pushed Jia Lian, and said with a smile, "Go and play with the dog, and let me go ahead and have a look."
When Jia Lian heard this, he barked and led the pollen-covered dog to Pear Fragrance Court.
Xu Qingheng glanced at the pavilion where Yingchun went, and said to Youshi, Xiangyun, and Xichun: "Please sit with her, the three of you, and don't mention the godson of the eunuch, lest Yingchun be overwhelmed."
"Understood." Shi Xiangyun agreed with a guilty conscience.
After Xu Qingheng finished speaking, she walked forward slowly holding the handkerchief, crossed an arched bridge, got on the sedan chair, and had someone carry her forward.
In the sedan chair, I thought, since Jia Lian said those words, she must know that her internal injuries are hard to heal. If so, she should give up, otherwise, if Jia Lian is forced to take medicine and needles, he will hate him instead. fuck her.She also thought that Yingchun was very obedient, and that the children she gave birth to be raised by her side would be more obedient than children adopted from other people's homes.
After thinking about it, I arrived at Jia Mu's backyard, stepped on the big rocky rock, entered the yard, and vaguely heard a girl whispering behind a clump of tuberose. The book stood out from the flowers.
Seeing Xu Qingheng coming, the servant quickly whispered in her ear: "Grandma, it was Princess Zhongshun who led the way, and Mrs. Xue had no choice but to come here brazenly."

Xu Qingheng frowned slightly, and said in his mouth: "It's because you heard it that you can remember these words." He secretly thought that it would be difficult to deal with the Prince Zhongshun's mansion, so after thinking about it, he called Wu'er to listen carefully in her ear.

Xu Qingheng said with a smile: "One side of the pond is covered tightly by lotus leaves, and the fish have to spend a lot of effort to push the lotus leaves away if they want to spit bubbles."
"Hui'er, let's go, let's have a look." Mother Jia asked the nanny to hug the child again, and she helped the little actors Fangguan and Ruiguan, and brought amber, glass, parrot, Douguan, Aiguan, Wenguan, The eggplant official, sunflower official, jade official, etc. all went to the garden behind in a mighty manner, leaving only a scent of young girl's powder that lingered for a long time.

Xu Qingheng smiled and agreed, and first watched Mrs. Wang and the three of them go along the alley to the police station, and then stood at the back of the garden under the hanging flower gate. Seeing four or five women coming over with tea and tea, they asked: "What does the old lady do?"
A woman laughed and said: "The old lady likes the fragrance of lotus leaves, and she saw that Baoqin from the Xue family was born well, so she wanted to stay with her for two days. The garden is beating drums to pass flowers."
"Go." Xu Qingheng had seen Jia's mother's unwillingness to take care of things as early as when Bilian and Meng's came to Jia's house, and after Jia Zhu's funeral, she understood that Jia's mother was the one who would truly become rich at this age. Let go of those intrigues at home.After the old woman left, she fanned the wind with her handkerchief, and saw Jia Lian coming over in a very graceful manner, wearing a ivory-white embroidered bamboo shirt, gently shaking a large golden fan.
Xu Qingheng took two steps forward, Jia Lian put away his fan, "It's hot outside, don't come here to pick it up." After two steps, he stepped up the steps to the door of Chuihua, and asked, "Where are the two wives and the second wife of the Xue family?"
"It is said that I went to Jinghuanzhai to find beads and talk to my sister-in-law."
Jia Lian snorted, and seeing Xu Qingheng's cheeks flushed with heat, she took a fan and fanned her, "Go, go back to the back building and rest."
Xu Qingheng agreed, took two steps, and suddenly said, "Where's my dog?"
"Going crazy in the garden." Jia Lian went east along the back porch, turned into a corner door, and walked a hundred steps forward, then entered his own corner door and went up to the back building.
After going up to the second floor, after Jia Lian washed his hands, he sat cross-legged in front of the window behind the piano, plucking the strings every now and then.
Xu Qingheng lit incense for him, then moved his foot and sat down beside him, seeing that he was just wiping the piano indiscriminately and not playing any tunes, he smiled and said: "What you said just now was intended to quarrel with the second wife. Is it?"
Jia Lian closed her eyes and nodded slightly.
Xu Qingheng smiled and said: "It's lucky that you can treat your nephew as smoothly as uncle said. Seeing that the second wife just dragged Aunt Xue away, the second wife must know your attitude, so she would not allow a person who is loyal and obedient to the concubine to be assigned to Yingchun. In this way, We don't have to worry about how to reject the surname Xian, the second wife will find a way to refuse." After speaking, seeing that Jia Lian was silent, she abandoned her footsteps and squeezed next to Jia Lian on the small futon under him.
"Hot." Jia Lian said.
"...When the weather is cool, you can lie down with me for a while longer, since it's hot." Xu Qingheng leaned against Jia Lian and complained. Seeing that he complained a few words, he didn't say a word, so he said, "Welcoming Spring What should I do? Since you have said that you want your nephew to inherit the family business, she will become a favorite. In the future, it will be common for such smelly people to come to propose marriage. What do you care about?"
Jia Lian tapped lightly on the strings, and said with a smile, "Someone has brought the betrothal gift."
"What dowry?"
Jia Lian glanced at the west wall.
Xu Qingheng looked over, but saw it was a mandarin duck sword, and wondered to himself, wasn't this sword thrust into Jia Lian's hands the day Liu Xianglian and Jia Lian cut off their hair? "Already asked?"
"I asked."
Xu Qingheng breathed a sigh of relief, and thought that Liu Xianglian was very chivalrous and handsome, and expected that even though he was a widower, Yingchun would be happy, but there was still one difficulty, "Liu Xianglian is willing to have a child whose surname is Jia?"
"Why is your surname Jia?"
Xu Qingheng said in amazement: "The surname is not Jia, why..." Seeing that Jia Lian wanted to speak in her ear, he listened.
"Liu Xianglian's child is still surnamed Liu. I will leave all my money and connections to him, and I will leave all the ransacking and extermination of my family to those who rush to recognize me as my father."
"Why are you so bad?" Xu Qingheng's ears were a little itchy, he leaned back into Jia Lian's arms, and used his fingers to gouge his eyebrows.
Jia Lian embraced her waist, wiped her fingers on the strings, thinking that if there was nothing to do, it would be better to steal a day of leisure, so he stretched out his hand to cover Xu Qingheng's mouth, suddenly carried her on his shoulders and went to the bed .
When Wu'er and Liu'er heard the movement downstairs, they moved their stools and sat and watched in the shed downstairs at the back. When they saw Xiangyun and Yingchun coming, they rushed to meet them.
"Is the second sister-in-law here? The old lady just heard that Xichun can draw, so she asked the second sister-in-law to bring some painting things to her, and asked her to draw Fangguan, Ouguan and the others, and put them in the room as a picture of twelve beauties. "
Wu'er said with a smile, "I'll get it later." Then, he asked Xiangyun and Yingchun to go forward.
Yingchun was getting older, and Xiangyun was already married. Seeing Wu'er and Liu'er like this, she probably understood, so they pretended not to understand and came out.
Xiangyun went to Yingchun courtyard to read about a cup of tea, and when he heard that Mrs. Wang was going to take the two wives of the Xue family back to the east, he hurried out of Rongxi Hall to Jinghuanzhai.
In the Jinghuanzhai, Xiangyun saw Li Wan's eyes were red and swollen, and secretly thought that Mrs. Wang must have deliberately mentioned Jia Zhu in front of Li Wan again.
Because the east side did not prepare a special car for her, so when she returned to the east side, she took Mrs. Wang's car.
Mrs. Wang's eyes were dazed, and when she got out of the east corner gate, she asked Xiangyun, "Yingchun knows that her brother and sister-in-law are going to marry her to a eunuch as a godson?"
Xiangyun lowered his head and said, "My sister-in-law told me not to tell her."
Mrs. Wang snorted lightly, and she didn't like Xiangyun's tomboy dressing up, and she refused to say that she would have to spend money to cut new clothes for her. Thinking of Li Wan's monthly payment of ten taels of silver from Jia's mother, she couldn't help but think. The funeral star was so lucky, so he said to Xiangyun: "What did the old lady say when she saw you dressed like this?"
"The old lady only said that she looks like Baoyu from a distance."
"...the old lady gives your sister-in-law ten taels of silver every month, do you know?" Mrs. Wang said.
Shi Xiangyun knew the meaning of Mrs. Wang's words. She wanted her to be soft and stubborn, and she also got ten taels of silver a month from Jia Mu. Because she refused to say this, she pretended to be confused and said, "There is such a thing? It is also the old lady who is sympathetic to sister-in-law Zhu's orphans and widows who are struggling."
Mrs. Wang saw that Shi Xiangyun was pretending to be stupid, so she sneered and said: "After two years, you will become a mother too. It depends on whether you can play stupid again. Baoyu wants to save face, and works as an errand in the Beijing Palace, not to mention taking the money back. , but I have to pay a lot of fans and pendants every month. If you count on him, you can't count on it, and the master refuses to show his face to teach in Lixiangyuan. Seeing that you are living without food, you still refuse to put in some effort?"
Shi Xiangyun murmured: "The Zongli doesn't have ours..."
"Can the Zongli be trusted?" Mrs. Wang was afraid that Shi Xiangyun would reveal that she had sold the land in the Zongli, so she immediately interrupted Shi Xiangyun, and said in a cold voice: "Baoyu can't be wronged, Huan'er...then I am too lazy to talk to him Forget about it, now Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou leave a girl to serve each other, and I only leave four girls, Jin Chuan, Yu Chuan, Caifeng, and Cailuan, and Qin Xian's family, Jin Chuan's family and others are left in the mansion. The other two have a total of four servants."
"Why leave Qin Xian's family behind?" Shi Xiangyun asked, secretly thinking that her nurses would be sent away too?
Mrs. Wang glanced at Rongguo Mansion from the corner of her eye, and secretly swore: Even if there is only a handful of old bones left, Baoyu or Baoyu's descendants should send her to Rongxi Hall.Yin laughed and said: "Although your second brother Lian was vigilant and cut off the contacts between the servants of the two houses early, I did not hesitate. At that time, I sent Qin Xian's family to collect debts outside. Now Lian'er He forgot about it and called Qin Xian's family back. Qin Xian is the chess player's uncle, and he will be of great use in the future." Yin looked at Shi Xiangyun again, waiting for her to speak.
Shi Xiangyun secretly grabbed his sleeves, thought for a long time, then smiled and said: "Since Madam only has four maids left, then I will reduce one class, leaving only Cui Li and Nanny Zhou."
Mrs. Wang first felt that leaving only one girl was not good-looking, and then she thought that Shi Xiangyun would not go out as a guest. If someone came, it would be enough to ask Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan to go to her place to support the scene.
While speaking, he entered the black oil gate to the east.
This is the first time Mrs. Xue came here. After entering the Sanzhongyi Gate, Mrs. Xue was stunned as soon as she got off the sedan chair, thinking to herself that in this season when hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, why is this place like cold winter? He refused to place it, and seeing that the houses here were extremely crowded, he looked at Aunt Xue suspiciously.
Before Aunt Xue could speak, she suddenly heard a cry, and then saw a white-haired old woman trembling with tears, holding her hand and asking her to comment.
"Mrs. Xue's family, you come to judge. It was their uncle who kicked my grandson to death, so he swore that he would raise me until the end of his life. Who would have thought that his uncle ran away and neglected him from top to bottom. My mouth is thirsty. Yes, I shouted for a long time, but no one poured me a glass of water." Jia Dairu's old wife was talking, and tears fell down again.
Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "It's the girls below who are disobedient and ignorant. Wait for me to punish them." Seeing Cui Ling was there, she ordered Cui Ling to help Jia Dairu's old wife back to the room; Yun said: "Take the second wife to your room to talk, and ask the second wife to point out your needlework."
"Hey." Xiangyun agreed, and asked Mrs. Xue to go to Baosha.
Second Mrs. Xue saw Mrs. Wang's embarrassment, so she followed Xiangyun tactfully.
Aunt Xue couldn't help but her eyes were red, she looked at the empty yard where not even a sapling was seen, and said, "It's better to plant a few flowers in the yard, it will make people look more energetic."
"Insufficient manpower, all the good flowers are raised by the maids to death. The master said it is unlucky to look at withered flowers, so it is better not to plant them at all." Mrs. Wang glanced at Jin Chuan, saw Jin Chuan nodded, and knew that the room had been cleaned up When it's done, ask Aunt Xue to go into the room.
When Aunt Xue stepped into the room, she shed tears, pointing to the door, window, and wall decorations, she said: "These are all decorations for the day when Zhuer went to funeral."
Mrs. Wang choked up and said, "I saw you here, and I barely put it on to support the scene. Who knows that you recognized it again."
Hearing Mrs. Wang cry poorly, Aunt Xue became vigilant immediately, and secretly said that before Wang Xifeng left, she had been told to not lend money to Mrs. Wang, and she must keep this in mind, so as not to be coaxed away by Mrs. Wang again.
"Sit down here." Mrs. Wang pulled Aunt Xue to sit down on the top chair covered with old furniture, sighed softly and said, "Since you have seen it, I am not afraid of your jokes. Look at the west side What pomp, what pomp on my side?"
Aunt Xue reminded herself secretly: If Mrs. Wang hadn't sold the property in the Zongli earlier, how could this happen?So he smiled lightly and said: "There is Baoyu. I heard that Baoyu is very promising. I think Baoyu has been rewarded by the Beijing Palace, right?"
Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, then suddenly asked: "What's the matter with Baochai? Haven't you seen the canon yet?"
Aunt Xue's complexion changed suddenly, and she forced a smile and said, "What is the canonization? Baochai's entry into the palace is just to accompany the Queen Mother to relieve boredom, so don't talk nonsense."
