The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Jia Lian said: "Who would let such a bastard relative on the stall?" Jia Lian thanked his friend again and rushed back to Jia's mansion.When I got home, Jia Lian hurriedly told Sister Feng about it, and Sister Feng said: "Second Master, you just ask my aunt for money, anyway, that fool Xue deserves it, and our children, if you don't pay attention, they will kill you." "It turned out that the anti-fetal medicine that Aunt Xue sent was also mixed with something.Jia Lian also said: "Then I only say that things are difficult, which is also the retribution God gave them." Then he said: "Then Xue Pan can say that he is the brother-in-law of Uncle Guo, Feng'er, and we have to talk to the old lady about this matter." Tell me, if we don't offend Prime Minister Wang, we won't be able to go around for a while." Prime Minister Wang is the current empress' elder brother, and he is deeply favored by the emperor.Sister Feng said: "In that case, I'll go to my ancestors and report Ping'er's affairs, and then go to Sister Lin's to have a look. I think she has been wronged today." Hong Ping'er has gone.

Jia's mother was recuperating in the house. When she saw Sister Feng coming, she sat down and asked, "Madam Feng, what's the matter?" , I’ll come here.” Mother Jia said: “Good boy, you did the right thing. I’ll ask the second master to let him leave this matter.” Sister Feng said again: “Old ancestor, there is something else I want to ask you for. Show me." Jia Mu said, "Speak up quickly, what's the matter?" Sister Feng said, "Now that I have a body, I can't serve the second master. I want to promote Ping'er to be an aunt, the old ancestor. I think it's good." Jia's mother said: "It's a good thing, but it's hard for you to think about it. Ping'er is also a good boy, but I just wronged you." Sister Feng said: "It's Ping'er who was wronged, the old ancestor, so this matter is settled. Come down, Ping'er is still not coming up to kowtow to the old ancestor." Ping'er hurriedly kowtowed to Jia Mu and Sister Feng, and Jia Mu said: "Good boy, get up quickly, since I am an aunt, I will serve your second master and second grandma well. , strive to get on the baby as soon as possible, and spread the branches and leaves for our Jia family."

Ping'er bowed her head and agreed. Seeing that everything was done, Sister Feng said, "I'll go back first, my ancestor. Our second master is still waiting for me." Jia Mu agreed, and Sister Feng took Ping'er Xiaohong to leave , but did not go back to her own courtyard, but went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. As soon as she entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she heard Daiyu, Zijuan, Xueyan and the other three talking and laughing in the courtyard. I don’t want to go to see my sister either.” When Daiyu heard that Sister Feng had arrived, she hurried out to meet her, and said with a smile, “My sister is not afraid that you will be too tired.”

When they entered the room, Sister Feng hurriedly looked Daiyu up and down, and asked, "Sister Lin, I heard about this morning, are you okay?" Daiyu smiled and said, "Good sister, I'm fine, but the second wife I was slapped by Xueyan, because when it came to money, the second wife didn't take care of it at the time, so it was nothing." Sister Feng said: "That's good, then you have to be more careful in the future, the second wife is ruthless. Well, you still don’t know that the reason why I didn’t get pregnant was because the second wife gave me a purse with musk. Fortunately, you told me last time that you want to get along with the first wife, so I changed it, otherwise I wouldn’t be pregnant. I can't conceive this child." Daiyu was startled, and hurriedly asked: "But really? You are her niece, how is your health now?" Sister Feng said: "The doctor said that it is good to take care of it, I am fine. Yes, don't worry." Daiyu said: "I prepared some medicinal materials for you, but I will go to save you when you come." Then she asked Zijuan to bring out the things she had prepared for Sister Feng, and Sister Feng smiled and said: " I came here to see you, but it looks like you are asking for something." Daiyu laughed and said, "It's just some supplements and useful things." Just as she was talking, Zijuan took out things, but there were two boxes. Daiyu took it and handed it to Sister Feng herself. When Sister Feng opened it, she saw that the first box was filled with old wild ginseng. Get fit." Daiyu laughed and said, "My health is much better. The doctor said that this stuff is the best tonic when you are happy, but don't eat too much, just cut it one slice at a time." Sister Feng said: "In that case, I will accept it. The day before yesterday your second elder brother Lian went out and bought some, but they are not as good as this." He took the box again and said with a smile, "What is this?" When he opened it, it was a string of Nanhai Fonan beads.Daiyu smiled and said, "The abbot of Hanshan Temple personally consecrated this when I was in Gusu, and I can bring it with me to ward off evil spirits." Knowing the value of this thing, she said: "Then I will use it first, and wait for the child to be born." After that, I'll give it back to my sister." Daiyu said with a smile, "it's not necessary. Sister Feng will keep it. I still have it." Now it’s like that shabby household that hits the jackpot.” Daiyu Zijuan and the others all laughed when they said that.

Sister Feng asked Daiyu to ask the little girl to tell me if she had anything to do. Daiyu smiled and agreed, and Sister Feng went back.Zijuan knew about Ping'er from Xiaohong, and told Daiyu. Daiyu sighed: "Sister Feng, who is so strong, also agreed to Lian's second brother to take a concubine. I still feel uncomfortable thinking about it." Said: "Nowadays, which man from a rich family doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Our second master, who is so old-fashioned, also has two aunts." Xue Yan said, "That's not necessarily true, our master only cares about us My wife is alone and has never taken a concubine." Daiyu sighed: "There are very few men like Daddy in the world. Mother and Daddy have always raised eyebrows and are a couple for life. Marry again." Zijuan said: "Girl, don't think too much, today Xueyan made delicious food for you, guess what it is?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "I can't guess it." Zijuan laughed and said, "That day Xueyan saw that the girl likes to eat Shunan leaf cake, crispy fresh milk, fried shrimp, and squirrel mandarin fish followed Chunqian. I asked the master chef in Wangyulou for cooking methods, and said that I will make it for the girl." Daiyu laughed and said, "It's hard for her to care about it. If that's the case, go and help her. I'll see the meeting later. post." After finishing speaking, she went to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in person, Zijuan knew that her daughter didn't like to be disturbed when she was writing a post, so she went as she said, and only asked the little girl to watch at the door.

At that moment, Zijuan and Xueyan cooked the meal, and Daiyu was still writing the post. Zijuan said: "Girl, let's eat first. Xueyan's cooking is really good, not worse than that of Wangyulou's master." Daiyu He said: "Then let's go to eat, and I'll post at the meeting after eating." The master and servant ate together as usual, and everyone praised the food made by Xueyan as very good.Xueyan only said: "It's not to let the young lady eat a few more mouthfuls of rice. As long as the young lady is willing to eat a few more mouthfuls of rice, the snow geese will be happy if they don't let the snow geese eat." Everyone laughed, and Daiyu also laughed and said: "Look. As you said, I am like that nightshade." Zijuan said, "It's not because the girl doesn't eat well." Daiyu had no choice but to say: "Okay, my sisters, I will eat more in the future. " Xueyan laughed and said, "That's the best."

Everyone in Xiaoxiang Pavilion laughed and had dinner, but Xue's family in Lixiangyuan was not in such a good mood.Xue Pan got into trouble and was thrown into prison. The entire Xue family was like an eggplant beaten by frost, and Aunt Xue Xue Baochai was even more anxious.Aunt Xue naturally felt sorry for her son. She didn't know if her son was suffering in prison. Xue Baochai was not only worried about her brother, but also worried about her own shop and the status of the imperial merchant. The defeat was almost complete, and the only hope was that these shops still had the reputation of the imperial merchant. In the afternoon, Aunt Xue went to Mrs. Wang's, and Xue Baochai took Ying'er to the shop.But I saw that there was no business in every shop, and they were all deserted. When I asked the shopkeeper, they all said that Xue Pan had taken all the money and had no money to buy.Xue Baochai had no choice but to hear a few words of comfort to the innkeeper, and then got into the sedan chair to go back to the house, but heard the passers-by talking about Xue Pan's arrest, and then realized that her brother had beaten the son of the servant of the Ministry of War, the younger brother of the pure concubine in the palace, Surprised, she hurriedly told the bearers to leave quickly, and Yinger trotted all the way to keep up.

Xue Baochai returned home and hurriedly found Aunt Xue, but saw that Aunt Xue was really drinking tea in the house. When she saw Baochai, she hurriedly said, "Chai, how is the shop?" It's not easy." Aunt Xue said: "I've already gone to your aunt, and she said that you can pay a few taels of silver and you'll be fine." Xue Baochai said anxiously: "Mother, when I went out, I heard that my brother injured the servant of the Ministry of War. My son, the younger brother of the pure concubine in the palace, I am afraid that my aunt can't control this matter." Aunt Xue also jumped, and then calmed down again, and said: "So what, your aunt's house is the Duke's mansion, Concubine Yuan is the noble concubine in the palace."

Baochai said urgently: "Although Jia's family is a state duke's mansion, none of the masters in the family is more powerful than the servant of the Ministry of War. Although there is a concubine Yuan in the palace, she is from Jia's mansion and her surname is not Xue." Aunt Xue Said: "We are her aunt's family, not to mention you will be her sister-in-law in the future, how can she not care?" Seeing that her mother was so stubborn, Xue Baochai said anxiously: "If she thinks we are relatives, my daughter will not be just a second time. Wife, mother, why don't you understand."

Aunt Xue froze for a moment, and then cried, "My poor Pan'er, why are you so miserable?" Xue Baochai was angry, and only thought: what kind of fate does he have? Xue Baochai is virtuous and virtuous, but I want to be Jia Baoyu's concubine, and I am the one who suffers.If it weren't for the elder brother who caused trouble, maybe he would have been the lord of the first palace in the palace.Seeing that Aunt Xue was still crying, she felt impatient, so she said, "Mother, what's the use of crying now? I haven't figured out how to save my brother." Aunt Xue sobbed, "What else can I do?" Xue Baochai said : "Now I can only ask Zhao Shilang's family to withdraw the pleadings."

Aunt Xue said: "But we have no power or power, how can we let others withdraw the paper of pleadings?" Give it to Zhao Shilang, and just ask them to release my brother for the sake of treasure."
