Aunt Zhao's happy life

Zijuan hastily sent someone to invite Li Wan, just as Aunt Zhao and Tanchun came, and each of them burst into tears when they saw Daiyu. By this time, Daiyu's hands were cold, her eyes were gone, and the last tear fell in the cheeks.Zijuan was scrubbing Daiyu, when suddenly Daiyu shouted in a hoarse voice: "Baoyu, hello..." Before finishing speaking, she swallowed her breath, and her clothes were soaked in cold sweat.With the sound of the wind and the shadows of the moon, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was bleak and desolate.

When Wang Xifeng heard the news of Daiyu's death, she quietly told Jiamu. Jiamu's eyes darkened and she leaned on the couch. Going to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Mrs. Wang firmly stopped her, fearing that she would cry out badly.

Jia Mu told Mrs. Wang: "Send must be the best..." Just as she was speaking, Baoyu came: "Has the King of Beijing been here? If Sister Lin refuses to follow, she will refuse her and let her stay in the house for the rest of her life." Let's live at home!" This sentence caused Jia's mother to mourn again, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled Baoyu away.

It was Baochai who heard the news and went to visit Jiamu in Rongqingtang. Just when Jiamu was full of tears, she asked, "How is sister Lin?" Sister Lin is gone." Baochai, who had heard about it at first, was confirmed, and couldn't help wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and went back to the house to fidget.

When Baoyu came back, she kept saying that she would go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see sister Lin's illness. Baochai thought that someone would have to pierce the paper on the window, so she said, "Let me tell you the truth, sister Lin is gone." Baoyu was shocked: "Who said that?" Baochai said, "I will still curse her well? The old lady and the lady know that you are in harmony with each other, and they are afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, so they refuse to tell you." Baoyu burst into tears and fell on the bed. .

When Baoyu recovered from the dark grief, she clamored to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. At this time, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was empty, and Daiyu's coffin was moved out. Baoyu cried hoarsely. They were all sobbing.

Baoyu moves step by step, wherever he looks and steps, there is Daiyu's figure, her smile, her tears, her anger, her joy, her thin and graceful figure, her small thoughts, her She is so cute and cute... Seeing things and thinking about people, Baoyu cried more and more, almost dying.

Just when Jia Mu wanted to persuade him, Baoyu called Zijuan again and again. Zijuan hated Baoyu deeply and refused to come to see him. , how his condition worsened, and how he finally died, Baoyu cried so hard that he couldn't help crying.Zijuan also said that Daiyu asked to be buried in her hometown before she was alive, and not to be a stranger. When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they burst into tears again.

Since then, Baoyu has been restless day and night, dizzy and hot, only feels that his body is a burden, his mind is busy, his ears are buzzing, and his heart is empty and painful.Baochai knew that he was physically weak and weak, so she took care of him and coaxed him every day.

Baoyu fell asleep that day, and suddenly fell into a dream. The dream was pitch black, and he couldn't tell the direction. He saw someone coming in a trance, and asked, "Where is this?" The man said, "This is Huangquan Road. Why did you come here?" Baoyu said, "I am looking for an old man." The man asked, "Who is the old man?" Baoyu said, "Lin Daiyu, Gusu."

The man said: "Lin Daiyu has no soul, nowhere to look for, go back!" He took out a stone and threw it at Baoyu's heart.

Baoyu's death-seeking heart was dragged down by something unknown, and his days were muddled, and finally he couldn't calm down.

Jia Zheng served in Nanchang Mansion for a few years in his early years, but this time he returned to his old post, he was very familiar with the way, and as soon as he took office, he was determined to make a career, revitalize the family, and appease the people.Therefore, when he was appointed as Liangdao in Jiangxi, the first thing Jia Zheng did was to check the granaries, get rid of the disadvantages of blackmailing the villagers, and refused to accept bribes for personal gain.

The staff and servants around Jia Zheng were already very aggrieved when they were in the capital, and they had no money for a few years. Now they are in other places, hoping to make a fortune. Who knows that Jia Zheng is so rigid and serious, so they borrowed Jia Zheng's name Borrowing money from outside, taking advantage of Jia Zheng's excuses to accept bribes in private, and not obeying orders, they also coaxed each other to blackmail Jia Zheng's personal money.Although Changsheng and Fugui are loyal, they are outnumbered after all.

Not only that, the yamen servants also interfered with Jia Zheng in every possible way in government affairs. Jia Zheng was honest and upright but not well-rounded, and he was deceived and unaware of everything.

However, she said that Princess Nan'an, who hadn't been there for a long time, came to Jia's mansion in person this day. Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were really confused, so they had to entertain them warmly.

As soon as Concubine Nan'an sat down, she said straight to the point: "I celebrated the old lady's birthday that time, and I saw a few girls in your family. All of them are very good. I will always think about them after I go back. Except for those outstanding relatives There is another girl from your family, called Tanchun, right? She has an extraordinary demeanor, she is really a match for me! I am coming back to discuss with you and accept her as a righteous daughter. , what do you think?"

Jia's mother hurriedly said: "We have no reason to climb up, and we are really sincere and fearful. Is there any reason for the concubine?"

Concubine Nan'an smiled and said: "The old lady is indeed a sensible person, and I won't go around the bush anymore. You must have heard that the south was peaceful and peaceful for many years, but in recent years, the surrendered vassal states have provoked trouble one by one. Our king of Nan'an County is the commander in charge of the southern war. In the past few months, we have traveled through mountains and rivers, coupled with unacceptable water and soil, and insufficient food supplies. I'm sick and weak, I'm afraid I'll die on the road, so I think..."

Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were taken aback: "Marriage?"

The concubine smiled and said: "Yes, this daughter of yours is the most suitable one I have ever seen. Her demeanor must be better than my own daughter, and she will not insult the reputation of our palace. Besides, although Jia's mansion is not as good as it used to be, this There is no need to deny it, but you are the best in the family after all, so we have already reported to the imperial court and selected Miss Tanchun."

Jia Mu asked, "Since that's the case, is the date set?"

The concubine said: "That's not true. Someone will talk about those red tapes in detail. I'm here today to show my sincerity."

Not long after Concubine Nan'an left, Wei Ruolan, Shi Xiangyun's newlywed husband, came to Jia's mansion to ask Jia's mother to see her, and Jia's mother hurriedly sent him to Rongqing Hall.Wei Ruolan said with tears: "My father went out with Nan'an County King, and now he died in the battle. He wants to get married. I heard that he might come to Jia's mansion to choose a girl!"

Jia's mother said: "I just heard Nan'an Concubine say, hey, our Jia family is in a difficult situation now, we don't have a noble concubine to support us, and we have offended the Zhongshun Palace. No, can you still resist it?"

Wei Ruolan said: "I'm afraid our Wei family will also decline from now on!"

Jia Mu said, "How is Xiangyun?"

Wei Ruolan said: "Since she married into my house, she has been happy and satisfied every day. She is doing well now, but I'm afraid the good times won't last long!"

Jia Mu said, "Let's take one step at a time!"

Aunt Zhao got the news that day, and hurried to Tanchun's room: "Have you heard?" Tanchun said, "I heard."

Aunt Zhao took Tanchun's hand and choked with sobs, "You have been under my wife's name since I was a child, and I didn't have time to love you well. You have to go to such a far place. I don't know how many times I will see you again in this life?"

Tanchun was silent for a while, then forced a smile and said: "If this trip can earn some dignity and status for our Jia family, it will be considered a worthwhile life for me!"

Aunt Zhao said: "Our family's situation is already so difficult, and I'm also useless. No one can help you and keep you! Do you know where you are going?"

Tanchun said: "I heard that it is the Qianxiang country in the south."

Aunt Zhao couldn't help crying again: "I don't know the place, I don't know the language, and I don't have any relatives. How can you live after you go!"

Tanchun said: "It's all about judging the situation! Mother, I have something to tell you. Our family's good times are numbered, and you can see it? The first thing is to urge Huan'er to study hard. If you can't get in, at least Don't learn the wrong way. Besides, you must prepare for the back road in advance, in case one day, it will be useful!"

Aunt Zhao said: "Your father doesn't have much money, he bought some land in the suburbs of Beijing with his own money, and said it was for me and Huan'er."

Tanchun wept and said: "Since I was a child, I couldn't call you mother. You have always been straightforward. You have suffered a lot. I will not be here in the future. Take care of yourself!"

The mother and daughter embraced each other and wept, Ruyan and Zhenmo also wiped their tears aside, Jia Huan has become a weeping man.Aunt Zhao said: "I have caused you so much trouble, now that you have grown up, you can no longer be angry with me, who knows that you will go to the end of the world!" Tanchun said: "Don't say that!"

Aunt Zhao said again: "That Concubine Nan'an took away my daughter for the sake of her family's stability! She is a mother, can she bear it?" Tanchun said: "Don't say silly things, don't say she is a daughter, She wants Huan'er and you have to give it to her. I don't know if my father will come back to see me off, but I'm sorry that you haven't received any filial piety from me!"

Aunt Zhao said: "For such a big event, he should be able to come back!"

Sure enough, Jia Zheng got the letter in Jiangxi, and immediately set off to return to Beijing. At this time, Nan'an Palace and Jia's family were almost ready, and the date planned by Qianxiang Kingdom was exactly the Qingming Festival.

The day before the farewell, Tanchun worshiped at the ancestral hall, weeping: "I don't know if I can come back in this life, please protect our Jia family from the ancestors!"

Jia Zheng walked to Tanchun's side and said something for a long time: "Although you are here with the task of repairing the two countries, as a father, I only hope that you will protect yourself and be safe. Although it is far away, As long as you are well, your mother and I will feel at ease!"

Tanchun knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Zheng: "Father, if this trip can save the fate of the Jia family, my daughter will have no regrets!"

Jia Zheng helped him up and said, "The journey is long and the sea is vast, so it's inevitable that the environment will be unacceptable. When you get there, be careful with your words and deeds. You won't have our protection in the future, but you must be careful!"

Tanchun said: "I will definitely fight for the opportunity to come back to see you, you all have to take care of your health and wait for me to come back!"
