Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

"Old ancestor, you can't say that." Seeing that Jia's mother was displeased, Xifeng quickly flattered her, "It's just that the two children just didn't meet each other by accident. There's no fate, there's real blood relationship in it." Said Then, he hurried up to Mother Jia, rubbed Mother Jia's shoulders intimately, and said in a low voice, "If you're talking about marrying Master Bao, I really have someone to choose. I don't care about it anymore."

"You Poor Monkey, you have a lot of ideas. Let's listen to it. If it's the old man's, I will fork you out to see if you are skinny." Jiamu became interested.

"A good idea is not a good idea. The ancestors have to hear it before they know." Xifeng said with a smile, "I'm really wronged for saying that I'm full of bad water so quickly." As he said, he broke the branches with pomegranate red makeup flowers Pan Xilian covered her face with her sleeves and turned her back, pretending to be angry.

"Look, you still dare to throw face at me now." Xifeng's behavior made Jia's mother laugh.

Only then did Xifeng turn around, and whispered in Jiamu's ear, "I remember that sister-in-law Zhu's family has two daughters, both of whom are outstanding angels. Look, isn't this just kissing and kissing?" ?”

Mother Jia closed her eyes and thought about it.

She was not very satisfied with Li Wan's family situation.

Li Wan's father was just a Guozijian Jijiu, with a clean sleeve, except for a few students, he was not comparable to the wealthy Xue family and the current emperor... the popular Lin family in front of the empress.

Historians don't even have to think about it at all, Shi Lanyun is a noble concubine, Shi Xiangyun is accused of marriage, and Shi Ningyun is included in the clan, there is no hope for any of them.

If Baochai doesn't succeed, Mother Jia's idea is the idea of ​​Mrs. Wang's natal child, but Mrs. Wang and Xifeng don't agree with each other, so she can't say it directly.

"When I married your sister-in-law that day, there was another saying." Mother Jia hinted.

Xifeng said in embarrassment: "It's a pity that the two children of my uncle's family are engaged, and they will marry after the national funeral. Otherwise, it would be a match made in heaven for the second master Bao."

Xifeng was good at observing words and expressions, and this sentence made Jia's mother feel at ease.

Jia Mu said: "Forget it, let's talk about it another day. Anyway, the monk also said that Baoyu shouldn't marry early. It's destiny, just right."

He then asked Xifeng, "Didn't the Empress now say that she has made a decree to arrange the preparations for each family? Didn't the concubines in the palace say they would visit their relatives on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? If you don't tell me, I'd forget. When will our Concubine Ning Come back? Why don't you hurry up and prepare?" He was a little annoyed.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing looked at her nose, nose, and heart, but she didn't speak.

She doesn't care if Yingchunai comes back or not, anyway, she wasn't born and raised by her.

Xifeng said with some embarrassment: "Old Ancestor, Concubine Ning said she wanted to stay with the Empress in the palace, so she won't go home, we'll talk about it next time."

Wei Ruozhu originally planned to make a personal favor, and let several high-ranking concubines go home, so as to find an excuse for herself to meet her parents. She is a queen, and she can't easily leave the palace, let alone the current situation The form, but these concubines are different. Anyway, these concubines are staying in the palace. The emperor is bedridden now. The 72 concubines in the Sangong Sixth Court can't look good on the emperor, can they?

Wei Ruozhu's intentions are good.

From Lan Yun down, they are all grateful, except for some families who are indeed from small families, the family is clean and clean, and they can't go back home, and Yingchun, one of the four concubines, refuses to come back.

Wei Ruozhu felt very surprised, knowing that Yingchun was a concubine, and she had heard about all the miscellaneous things in Jia's mansion, and thought it might be because of Jia's financial problems, Yingchun couldn't go back, so she felt that Yingchun was pitiful, so she stayed Yingchun celebrates the New Year in the palace.

Xifeng even tried to persuade her once, but Yingchun refused to agree.

But that's good too, Xifeng can be regarded as heaving a sigh of relief.

According to the system of the Jin Dynasty, if a concubine concubine visits relatives, it does not mean that it is fine to go back to her mother's house, but to repair the Bieyuan near the mother's house in accordance with the ratio of the palace. If one of the four concubines returns home, the Bieyuan At least according to the old practice of the former Concubine Wu, Xifeng figured it out on her own, at least this time she would have to spend two or three million taels of silver. How can Jia's mansion have so much silver now?It can't be repaired at all.

Even if all her dowry could not be filled in, Xifeng felt that it would be enough to build a family home.

Now, although the title of the Jia family is still the same as before, the family still doesn't have much wealth. The palace rewards things, except those who are very close, or the concubines themselves are of high status. It is impossible for those below the noble concubine to reward gold and silver.

The Jia family simply couldn't afford to build another garden.

If the Shifu hadn't promised that Zhao's father would pay most of it, and that Lan Yun was a noble concubine and had rewarded some gold and silver, Lan Yun probably wouldn't be able to go back.

"Also," Mrs. Wang had no choice but to go all out to be this villain, "If Concubine Ning comes back, our family can't afford to build a family garden, right?"

Mother Jia also knew the financial situation of the family.

But Jia's mother raised her eyebrows, "Our family is also a meritorious family, and besides, the cost of money, it's a big deal to tell Min'er."

If Yingchun comes back, Mother Jia has a way, and the worst is to talk to Jia Min.

Lin Hai first served as the censor of salt, and then as the Zuobu political envoy in the south of the Yangtze River. In the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, even the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty can still get 10 taels of snowflake silver a year, let alone Lin Hai's position.

Zhao's grandfather retired from Xunyan Yushi, and when Zhao's father became the dean of the academy, her father opened the academy for so many years, did not charge money to help students, and gave money to arrange for students to take exams in Beijing , and asking for a wife, and marrying a daughter, and after such extravagance, he can still get 100 million taels of silver.

Presumably Lin Hai's family can still pay 300 million yuan.

Mother Jia's calculation is pretty good.

Seeing that Mother Jia was displeased, Mrs. Wang quickly stopped talking and signaled Xifeng with her eyes.

Xifeng hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Old ancestor, Concubine Ning is in the palace, so it's convenient to be able to serve the Empress Dowager, don't you think so?"

Jia's mother nodded, a little regretful, she originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Yingchun, but it would be better for Yingchun to please the queen and queen mother, which would be more conducive to the next development of the Jia family.

But she felt a little awkward about Yingchun not coming back.

Then he said to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang: "You should also be careful." She thought for a while, and stopped Mrs. Wang, "When you go back, I'd better talk to Mrs. Zhu'er and take the child over to have a look. , if it is really an outstanding person and eye-catching, and you can just be with your daughter-in-law Zhu, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and quickly said yes, but she was still muttering in her heart.

According to her, this matter is unlikely to happen.

Mother Jia looked down on the Li family, and the Li family may not necessarily have a high opinion of the Jia family. She still remembered that when she told Zhu'er about Li Wan, she really felt offended.

Li Wan's father prided himself on Jinling Qingliu, as long as he was still standing in the way, he would not vomit easily.

But no matter how difficult it was, and the old ancestor opened his mouth, she still had to bite the bullet and talk to Li Wan.

Now that Yuanchun's life and death are uncertain, and she is popular in Yingchun Palace, she has no capital to be proud in front of her sisters-in-law and juniors, so she has to be careful.

Although Li Wan was her daughter-in-law, she could not offend anyone now.

When Mrs. Wang came, Li Wan had just woken up from his afternoon nap, and Tanchun and Xichun went fishing in the yard. Li Wan was wearing a moon-white dress with calla lilies embroidered on it. He's beanie, holding a homemade bun, sat on the Luohan bed to make clothes for Jialan.

She didn't look as haggard as Jia Zhu had just died.

It's not surprising that Li Wan often does things by himself when he's at home.

"Where's Brother Lan?" Mrs. Wang said with a smile.

"Oh, he's gone to school." Li Wan got up with a needle and thread, and gave up his seat to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang asked Jia Lan how she ate and how she was doing these past few days. The master taught her well, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a long time before she told what Jia Mu had told her.

What surprised Mrs. Wang was Li Wan's attitude.

Li Wan put down the needle and thread in his hand, first asked the servant girl to serve tea to Mrs. Wang, and brought some snacks. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's a coincidence, madam. I have nothing to do these few days. Daiyu is in the palace." Now, Baochai is in the south again, so I just want to call a few children over to be companions with Tanchun and Xichun." She spread her hands and said with a smile to Mrs. Wang: "Speaking of which, Qi'er and Wen'er are also good children. , I haven't seen it for a long time and I miss it a little bit, we really thought of going together."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "It's a good feeling."

Li Wan said: "Then I will post when I have time."

"Wait." Mrs. Wang thought for a while, and said: "It's also called Shang Baoqin, exactly five months later, August [-]th is my wife's [-]th birthday. I heard that Princess Shanhua and Shizhong Lin are going to Beijing too. When the time comes, count Xiangyun girl, a few people get together, and the wife likes to be lively, isn't it just right?"

Li Wan nodded in agreement, then silently lowered his head to look at his work.

If so many people were to be invited, she naturally didn't need to bother.

Anyway, what she needs to do is to provide an opportunity to go to Beijing, and it is not in vain for Li Qi to please her continuously that day. As for whether she succeeds or not, that is another matter.

After all, Li Qi is a concubine with insufficient status.

But it's not certain, Li Wan looked at Mrs. Wang, she is the mother-in-law who likes to show her mother-in-law the most.

Sure enough, once so many people were involved, Mrs. Wang went to Xifeng to arrange everything. Xifeng was happy to see Li Wan's willingness to agree, so she naturally went to take care of the up and down matters. After all, August is still far away Come early, there is no need to rush.

Although the 76th birthday is not a whole birthday, it is also a great day for the elderly.
