When Lin Ruhai came to see Jia Mu, Jia Mu was already a little confused.Hearing that it was Uncle Lin, Mother Jia cried and called out Jia Min, reaching out to grab him.Everyone hurriedly yelled and told Jia's mother: "That's Mrs. Lin!"

Mother Jia cried again and shouted: "My poor grandson, why is he so dazed! Come, come, let me have a look."

Lin Ruhai frowned and turned to see Jia She and his wife.

Xing told him: "It's been like this for the past few days. Sometimes I can't wake up all day long, and I can hardly open my eyes. I don't need food, and I can't take medicine. I just talk about sister Min, and cry for Baoyu. "

Yuanyang sighed and deliberately satirized Baoyu: "The old lady is sick and confused, and she even said nonsense. Baoyu came to see her yesterday, and it was clear for a while that she was going to die, and she wanted to take Baoyu with her. I caught him hard and scared Baoyu. The second master dare not come again."

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning and disdain Baoyu's shrinking.The old lady is sick and confused, she didn't mean it, she just pinched him twice, so there is a reason to hide?In vain, the old lady usually loves him on the tip of her heart.

In Lin Ruhai's eyes, Baoyu was just an incompetent wimp, but now he has committed a crime of being unfilial.Lin Ruhai didn't think much of him in his heart, but now his impression is only worse, which is not surprising.

In fact, Baoyu is no longer promising, and he is also a person who cares about friendship.He couldn't come to Jiamu's place recently, but it was because Baochai deliberately stopped him.

Yuanyang has been serving Jiamu who is about to die these days, and she is extremely sad. She knows that the person Jiamu cares about most is Baoyu, and she has sent people several times to send messages to Bao Erye, urging him to walk to Jiamu's side diligently.Unexpectedly, these people who spread the word were stopped by the maids around Baochai, and the words stopped when they reached Baochai, and they never reached Baoyu's ears at all.In turn, Baochai told Baoyu not to disturb Jiamu's recuperation.

Baoyu missed Jiamu very much in his heart, and whenever he wanted to visit, Baochai would make things ahead of time.

"Did you forget again, the last time you saw her, you surprised the old ancestor. The wife told us to let the old ancestor rest in peace. When you go, her mood fluctuates. Not only will the illness not be cured, save Don't get heavier. Just bear with it for now, and when the old lady is well, you can go to be filial."

Baoyu heard what Baochai said was very reasonable, so she gave up on it and went back to play with Qingwen, Qiuwen and other maids.

Baochai is not someone who cares about these things, but new sorrows and old hatreds are added to her, and she will not report her displeasure.When discussing Baoyu's marriage, Jia's mother never put Xue's family in her eyes because the Lin family was promising.Later, it was the Lin family's repeated disapproval of the marriage that kicked Baoyu to her.It's okay to be good at this, but after the engagement, their Rong Mansion actually deceived their orphans and widows again and again.

She and her mother were also innocent. They thought that the marriage was settled and everything would be safe. They could just get married with peace of mind and there was nothing to worry about.Poor her mother spent 10,000+ taels of silver, in exchange for her to marry a half-foolish and half-stupid cripple.

How can Baochai be reconciled?

After entering the door, it would be fine if Mrs. Wang treated her better, but she actually thought about getting her dowry.Is it true that their Xue family's money comes from the tide of the sea, so they say they have it?

This time, Baochai must have held on to the money tightly. Not only would she not pay any money, but she would also coldly watch those who had harmed her suffer a miserable end.

Baochai raised her head and looked at the sky.After estimating the time, she walked slowly towards Mrs. Wang's residence with the medicinal soup that the servant girl had prepared.

Baochai had just finished serving Mrs. Wang to drink the medicine, and she was about to put the medicine bowl on the tray with a wooden face.Suddenly there was the sound of gongs and drums outside, and the sound of firecrackers, which made people feel uneasy.

Rong Mansion is already so miserable and desolate, isn't it ironic that firecrackers are still being fired at this time?

Baochai panicked, shook her hands, and the medicine bowl fell to the ground and shattered.Baochai frowned as she looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground under her feet.

Mrs. Wang's face was wrinkled, she was dissatisfied with Baochai's clumsiness, and even more jealous that the bowl was broken in front of her. Does this mean that she should leave?

"What's the matter, go out and have a look." Mrs. Wang said with difficulty.

Baochai ordered people to clean up the ground, nodded to Mrs. Wang, and went out to have a look, but saw that the place where the firecrackers were set off was Rongxi Hall.

Baochai frowned, and sent the little maid to inquire.Not long after, the little maid came back beaming.

"Great joy, the disciple whom the Elder Master took in earlier, Mr. Liu is a senior high school student."

Baochai's eyes widened, and she believed her ears a little bit. She took a few steps back to stabilize her mind. "What are you talking about, he is a high school student? As far as I know, Mr. Liu is not yet twenty."

"That's right, I heard that the old man always praised him as a talented person, and that's true. I didn't expect the old man to see people so accurately. Coincidentally, Uncle Lin is a Tanhua Lang, and now Uncle Lin's son-in-law is also a Tanhua. Lang. Tanhualang and Tanhualang have become a family." The little maid said excitedly.

"Shut up!" Baochai yelled at the maid, glared at her, turned around and entered the room resentfully.

Mrs. Wang tried her best to wait for Baochai to come back, and asked her what was going on.Baochai then told Mrs. Wang about Liu Qingyun's exploration of flowers.

Mrs. Wang didn't catch her breath after hearing this, she vomited blood and passed out.

Baochai sat quietly by the bed, watching Mrs. Wang who fainted.

After a while, she picked up the handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood stains from the corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth.

Yin Chuan was on the sidelines, seeing this situation, she was so frightened that she lost her soul, and stood stupidly looking at the strange and terrifying scene in front of her in fear.

Today, Liu Qingyun heard that the future father-in-law came to Rong Mansion to visit the sick, and the sick person was Master She's mother.Liu Qingyun thought that when he was poor, he had received a lot of favors from Mr. She and his wife, so he brought medicinal materials and other things and came after him.I never thought it would be such a coincidence that the imperial court released the list in advance today.I don't know where the officials got the good news, and they chased all the way to Rongfu to announce the good news, and they brought a few hanging whips with them.

Liu Qingyun was so guilty that she repeatedly apologized to Mr. Zheng and his wife.

Jia She told him not to care, "Zao Wan is a family connected with relatives, why bother to be so clear. Besides, this is not your intention. You are very happy to be named on the gold list today, and you should have set up a few tables for you to celebrate , but this is a bit inappropriate for me. In this way, you go back with Master Lin first, and I will prepare a big gift to celebrate you someday."

Liu Qingyun bowed again to apologize to Jia Amnesty, and Fang and Lin Ruhai bid farewell.Daiyu didn't go, but stayed in the back house, staying here with Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing asked her why she didn't go with her father.

Daiyu couldn't tell, she always had a feeling in her heart that she couldn't leave for the time being.

Sure enough, at noon the next day, Yuanyang hurriedly called the people from the two rooms on behalf of Jia's mother.

The master and wife of the two rooms and their children knelt down in front of Jiamu's bed.Jia Mu is more energetic than before, and her speech is much clearer, as if she has returned to the light.Mother Jia confessed her private house and ordered the mandarin ducks to move out without leaving a single thing.

"Boss likes antique calligraphy and paintings. I have some that can be used on the countertops. They are just right for your taste. I will give them to you. As for the rest of the bottles and cans, I will give them to my second brother. There is still some money. Boss, you are promising, let me give it to you." Take care of your younger brother." Jia's mother didn't say how to divide, but pointed to this point and looked at Jia Amnesty.

What could Jia Amnesty say, besides, he didn't want Jia Mu's money, so he nodded and agreed to give it all to Jia Zheng.

Mother Jia smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

When Baoyu finally saw Jia Mu, she threw herself to her bed and acted like a baby.

Mother Jia smiled, reached out and patted the back of Baoyu's hand, but her eyes were slightly alienated.Baoyu felt that something was wrong, raised her head in wonder, and looked at Jiamu with tears in her eyes.

"I'm tired, you all go back." Jia Mu dismissed everyone, opened her eyes, and lay alone on the couch in a daze.

Seeing that Jia's mother is wrong, Yuanyang leans forward.Jia Mu had already closed her eyes, and the teardrops in the corners of her eyes were crystal clear, rolling down her cheeks in an instant.

"Old lady?" Yuanyang called, but there was no response from Mother Jia. She called again, but Mother Jia didn't respond, and she didn't move her face or eyelids.

Yuanyang was startled, and stretched out her hand to test Jia Mu's breath, but there was no breath at all!

Yuanyang cried loudly, turned around and staggered open the door.Mrs. Xing waited until she walked out of the courtyard, and the door opened wide behind her, everyone stopped and looked back, only to see the mandarin duck in a blue dress with tears streaming down her face.

Baoyu just heard that Daiyu has also come to Rongfu, and was thinking about how to see him for a while, when suddenly he felt that everyone around him stopped and the atmosphere was not right, so he turned around slowly and saw the mandarin duck lying on the ground in pain.

Yuanyang was heartbroken, unable to breathe in pain, and cried silently.

Baoyu panicked, and hurried into the house, but her foot tripped over the threshold, and she fell headfirst, gnawing shit like a dog, and her nose was blue.

Everyone ignored him, Jia Amnesty asked Baoyu who was in the way to take away, and he took his family to see Jiamu for the last time.

The funeral was handled by Jia Lian's daughter-in-law and Baochai together.That night, Jia Mu was buried in a coffin and stopped in the main hall.

Yingchun got the funeral report and was unable to attend the funeral because she was pregnant, so she asked her husband Qiu Erye to come instead.Qiu Erye acted steadily and carefully.After coming to Rong Mansion to pay respects, he went to comfort his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and asked them if they needed help, but he would try his best to do what he could.

Mrs. Xing asked about Yingchun's condition, and Erye Qiu responded fluently. He even knew all about Yingchun's daily preferences and changes in her taste after pregnancy.Seeing that Erye Chou really cared about Yingchun, Mrs. Xing was relieved and kept him for a while, so she sent him home as soon as possible to accompany his wife.

Jia Lian's daughter-in-law Liu Shi felt that she had to come to ask Xing Shi for instructions on what to do about the funeral.Baochai knows the fun and has no opinion.

The Xing family was also worried about this matter, so they simply called the whole family to discuss it.Because the title of Rongfu was cut off, Jiamu's imperial order that originally came with the title also went away.To put it simply, Jia's mother's identity is no different from that of an ordinary old lady.

"It's a lesson learned from the past. We must learn from it. This funeral is not easy to get better." Jia Amnesty frowned.

Jia Zheng disagreed, and excitedly mentioned to Jia Amnesty the kindness of mother's upbringing, as a son, he should bury his mother in a grand manner.

The Xing family had anticipated this trouble early on, so she specially called everyone to discuss it.

Jia Amnesty didn't bother to talk to Jia Zheng more, and decided to do so.Jia Zheng was unwilling and insisted on doing so, and accused his elder brother of being unfilial if he didn't do such a big job.

Jia She sneered: "I am not afraid of the shadows. I act according to the etiquette. Is it true that others say what they say? This matter is settled like this. No objection is allowed. I will set off tomorrow and help Ling return to Jinling .”

Jia Zheng was surprised: "Brother, what are you talking about? Help Ling go back to Jinling?"

Jia She narrowed his eyes: "Why, you just kept talking about filial piety, but now you just simply help the spirit to send the mother back to the hometown, and the fallen leaves return to the roots, can't you do this?"

"No, no." Jia Zheng was speechless after eating Coptis chinensis.

As soon as the crowd dispersed, Jia She took Xing's hand and said, "Would you blame me for my impulsive decision just now?"

"That's fine too. My aunt died, and the master is the eldest son of the aunt, so he has to keep his filial piety. Instead of staying in the capital for two years, we might as well go back to Jinling to live temporarily. It's cleaner than here."

It might be a bit urgent to leave tomorrow, but the incident happened suddenly, seeing that the weather was about to turn warmer, and he didn't wait for anyone.Xing quickly packed her luggage and told Jia Lian's daughter-in-law to be the housekeeper.

It was night, and Xing was ready to rest after finishing all the work.Wang Shanbao's family rushed to report: "The second wife has gone too."
