Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

22

The atmosphere in Jia's mansion is a bit low these two days.

Jia Lian took Lin Daiyu back to the south of the Yangtze River and saw her father for the last time.When he came back, he distributed the prepared gifts to everyone, cleaned up the room, and then hid in the tent and wept.I used to live in Jia's mansion for a few years, and I still have my own home.Now that his father passed away, he has really become a helpless orphan, worse than Shi Xiangyun, Xiangyun has his own uncle and aunt, the Shi family is still there, but the Lin family has no one.

Daiyu thanked Lian's second elder brother for helping her father's funeral, accompanied her back to Gusu, and buried her parents together. Apart from kneeling before the coffin and crying, Lian's second elder brother took care of the rest.Lian's second brother took himself to check all the belongings left by his father, and then sent a list with the housekeeper, saying that it was in triplicate and checked all of them.Parents are gone, except for some books, the parents' favorite things are kept as memories, and the rest are left to Lian's second brother, and Jia's family will not lack food for themselves.Thinking of this, Daiyu didn't even confiscate a copy of the order, and just handed it over to Jia Lian.

Daiyu didn't want to see how many belongings there were, nor did she want to know how many there were.On the first night back in Jia's mansion, Sister Feng still sent someone to send a list of those things, and locked them in a red sandalwood box, asking Zijuan to put them away for Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu felt depressed.He came back from Jiangnan the day before, and the next day the eldest uncle and the second uncle separated and paid back the money owed by the court.The family of the housekeeper who followed Jia's mansion was sent to prison by Lian's second brother.Uncle took Dafang and his family out of Rongguo Mansion.

In the morning, I went to say hello to my grandmother, and saw that my grandmother just looked lonely, and she seemed to be okay. Baoyu couldn't go to school, and it didn't work out.

It should be a good thing that elder sister Yuan became a concubine. Why did the eldest uncle and second uncle separate?Or did the uncle move away?Is it for the sake of your mother?

The girls followed to Li Wan's residence.Jalan has gone to ethnology.Li Wan asked some girls to do needlework.

After working for a while, Tanchun asked, "Sister-in-law, why did the old man divide the family?" Daiyu also wanted to know.

Li Wan pursed his lips and smiled, "It's normal to have big branches." He said and dismissed all the maids who stayed in the room.

"But the old lady is still there?"

Li Wan nodded Tanchun's forehead, "Third girl, girls don't like to inquire."

Tanchun hugged Li Wan's arm, "Sister-in-law, we don't know anything about our own family affairs, so I'm afraid of breaking the old lady's taboo. Sister-in-law teaches us, let us tell us."

Daiyu and Xichun also begged, and Li Wan asked Suyun to guard the door, saying only: "I tell you this so that you don't offend the old lady and the wife. When you leave this door, the three of you will be admitted together." In front of the emperor Lao Tzu, I also don't recognize it."

Li Wan pondered for a while and said, "Your Lian's second sister-in-law went to Dongfu to help take care of Rong's daughter-in-law, don't you know?" Seeing the three nodding, he went on to say, "It's tiring to arrange funerals, not to mention that Master Zhen of Dongfu needs to be older." Fuck it for 49 days. Grandma Zhen is sick, and there is a mess in the East Mansion. Uncle Zhen came to beg his wife, and finally your second sister-in-law went to the East Mansion to help. After returning from Tiekan Temple, Feng girl fell ill , I invited Dr. Wang, who often comes to the house, to come to see her. She only said that she was tired. Girl Feng hasn't gone out for more than half a month. Yesterday, I heard that she has been pregnant for five months, and she has been lying down for protection."

The three of them were shocked. They hadn't heard that Lian's second sister-in-law had one, and it's been five months.

Li Wan just laughed: "Who would say this to you girls in their teens? Well, I know everything, and I'm doing needlework. You are not allowed to gossip with old ladies and wives, and restrain the mother-in-law in the house." Girl, don't chew your tongue, you got caught."

The three of them nodded in agreement, and they didn't have the heart to continue sewing. It happened that Jia's mother sent a glass, saying that there was no need to go to the old lady's for lunch, and they resigned from Li Wan together.

Tanchun said to Xichun and Daiyu: "Yesterday early in the morning, I heard some movement in the second sister's room. After getting up and washing up, I sent Cuimo to go and see. It was said that the second sister brought Siqi, Xiuju, and his grandma. Nanny has gone to the east courtyard, everything in the house is packed, and the old woman who keeps things is here."

Everyone knows what happened later, Yingchun's house was vacated in the morning.Xichun doesn't like words, and Daiyu doesn't answer them.

Tanchun said again: "Second sister just moved away." His tone was sad.

The three little girls felt a little uncomfortable.I also understand that I can't talk about the big house moving out, so I made an appointment to see the second sister together when the old lady recovered.

Aunt Xue was talking in Mrs. Wang's room.

Aunt Xue said: "Sister, there is no need to worry. Since ancient times, there have been many branches. After the old masters left, the brothers were separated. We are still together for 20 years in this house."

Mrs. Wang said: "I'm not worried about the separation of the family. Alas, a lot of things are waiting for others to do. Without Sister Feng in charge inside, and Lian Er outside, there are so many things that I can't take advantage of."

Fu You said, "There are also those sacrificial fields in Jinling."

Aunt Xue said: "Could it be that the big house knows about the sacrifice to the fields? Otherwise, why are you so happy that you don't want it?"

"It's not because of Feng girl's belly. That Lian Er has been growing up in front of me, and now the elder wants to draw a clear line with the mansion immediately. I don't know whether men and women can be born, and whether they will grow up or not. Yes." The prayer beads in his hand spun quickly.

"Didn't Feng girl's eldest sister be born properly? I know that my sister is not like that. Feng girl is our niece."

"Young girl Feng managed to handle the affairs of Dongfu on her own. I refused and reminded her several times. She is a child. She has never experienced it. Sister Feng likes to take care of things and show off her talents. When she came back, she said she was tired and sick. The old lady told me The imperial physician was invited. It is a familiar imperial physician who has been at home for decades." Mrs. Wang stopped herself as she spoke.

"Girl Feng gave birth to eldest sister herself, don't you know she has been pregnant for three months?"

"Let's just talk about it here. Feng girl is not very good after giving birth to the eldest sister, and she is holding on to Lian Er. Lian Er is in his 20s and has no son yet. The elder is in a hurry. I rushed here to build a family garden. At the critical point, you don’t know that Lian Er has kowtowed me three times, and I’ve fucked my heart for nothing all these years.” Then he gritted his teeth and said with hatred, “The old man also had intentions, and he just said nothing when he moved. Everyone stole the imperial gift from the mansion, and sent Lai Da back in. Look, it’s not worth taking the bank savings that the family has saved across the river for several lifetimes, and changing him to the Marquis. You have to use the housekeeper Lin He took Zhixiao and Wu Xindeng away again. I wish the mansion would be disbanded immediately."

"Sister, there must always be a few confidantes in the mansion who can handle things well. If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come. After Baoyu gets married in two years, you will have helpers."

"My younger sister knows what I'm thinking. If Yuanchun hadn't come to the fore, I wouldn't have dared to say anything about it. Everything about Baoyu has to be nodded by the old lady. This time I can invite my mother."

"My sister is a blessed person, and my mother is also filial."

The two sisters talked slowly, and at the end, Aunt Xue left, and Mrs. Wang asked her to have lunch together, "Fortunately, I have you here, so I have someone to talk to."

Aunt Xue asked her to decline, "You have a lot of things to do here, you can call me over if you have time."

Mrs. Wang called Caixia to send Aunt Xue out.

Seeing Aunt Xue come back with Tongxi, Baochai went up to meet her and helped pick up the big clothes.

Aunt Xue patted Baochai's hand, "I can use you anywhere." Tonggui took it and cleaned it up.

Ying'er and Xianglian rolled up Aunt Xue's sleeves, and Tong Xi and Tonggui also came over to help Aunt Xue wash her hands, and they had lunch together.

Baochai asked, "Mom, what did Auntie say?"

"Your aunt said that your elder sister Feng didn't know she was pregnant, and she tried her best to help the East Mansion. After she was buried, she felt bad. She was the imperial doctor hired by the old lady, and she has been with her for decades."

"Did the imperial physician say that sister Feng had something wrong?"

"It's right here. My eldest girl is still smart. The cheapest one here is your aunt's house, and the old man was also born by the old lady. We just listen to it."

"Ah."

"The Rongguo Mansion on the capital side gets fifty-five points, and the one in Jinling is given to the second room. It seems that the first room and the second room have been lost."

"It's just that Brother Bao is still young. It would be nice to be as big as my brother."

"Your aunt is also worried about this. But after your aunt said, it will be up to the empress to decide."

"This big family only counts on one empress." Baochai lowered her head again. Didn't she come to Beijing just to run for the election? If my brother doesn't live up to expectations, if there is someone like him, then there must be someone like him.Now I still have to rely on this mansion, otherwise there will be no bones left that have to be swallowed.

Thinking of her son, Aunt Xue's face suddenly became sad, "My son, fortunately, mother still has you."

The mother and daughter whispered and talked about other people's affairs, worrying about themselves.
