The Dream of the Red Chamber of Huanzhu is not a dream

Wu Ying got a new job these two days.

The jewelry shop originally opened by the Xia family has been closed, and the rent of the store has been refunded.The business of the shop is not good. After all, the Xia family does not have the capital to make it big. Since Xia Qinglian began to consult patients, the biggest income of the Xia family is Xia Qinglian's consultation fee and the patient's thank you gifts. It is useless if the shop is still open up.

Since Mrs. Xia made the decision to marry Ziyi to him, Wu Ying has been very happy. He has seen Ziyi before, and her eyebrows and eyes are also very beautiful.

Wu Ying felt that living in Suzhou was much better than living in Jinan.When he was in Jinan, he was just a young man who had just entered the mansion and worked as a gatekeeper, but when he arrived in Suzhou, he recognized Steward Du and his wife as adoptive father and mother, and he had someone to take care of food, clothing, sleeping and sleeping on weekdays, and he was no longer alone.Besides Steward Du, he is the second steward. Although there are not many people in the family now, the so-called second steward is not worthy of the name, but "I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of a cow". In the future, even if the Xia family can't be compared to when Master Xia was alive, it will certainly not stop there.As for him, after marrying a wife at the end of the year and giving birth to a big fat boy next year, he will also be a blessed person with elders and juniors.

Because of hope, Wu Ying worked harder and more seriously.But this time he really didn't know what he was doing.

Xia Qinglian asked him to keep an eye on the young son of Zhang Tongzhi's family to see if he had contact with her uncle's family.

In just two days, Wu Ying found out that Zhang Fan, the little son, had some friendship with Lin Huan, the third son of Uncle Lin's family, and they drank wine together all afternoon.When he went out, that Zhang Fan was already staggering, and he patted Lin Huan on the shoulder, calling him "good brother", saying something like "you will be thankful after everything is done".

Because Zhang Fan was in high spirits when he was drunk, and his voice was relatively loud, Wu Ying who was not far away also heard some words, but he didn't know what they were talking about, so he reported back to Xia Qinglian exactly.

The faces of Xia Qinglian and Xia Ningjue, who was listening, changed drastically, and Wu Ying suddenly felt a little uneasy.But neither of them said anything, they only told Wu Ying to back down.

Xia Ningjue said coldly: "Gu Gu should not go out these two days, that Zhang Fan has always been lawless, so he might do something."

Xia Qinglian said hesitantly: "What they are talking about is not necessarily related to me, maybe they are talking about something else?" Having said that, she was skeptical in her heart, and she only held a glimmer of hope, thinking that they were always relatives, so it wouldn't be the case There is no way out.

"It's better not, otherwise, it will be difficult for us to deal with it." In this evil old society, there is no "110" to call.

In other words, they were too big and didn't have a correct understanding of the environment they were in. Otherwise, even if they bought a few more servants to serve as nursing homes, they would be a little safer. However, the Xia family's family business is too small. I have recruited a nursing home, I am afraid there is no place to house them, after all, in ancient times, the defense of men and women was very strict, and it is absolutely impossible to live in the same courtyard.

Xia Ningjue said again: "I'll take the black fungus to raise in the yard, if someone dares to trespass, it can also be a deterrent."

The black fungus is a Tibetan mastiff that Xia Qinglian got by chance.Xia Qinglian made a visit to the doctor once. The family was in the fur business, and the owner had a hobby, which was "dog fighting".That time when Xia Qinglian went to see the doctor, she saw the dog being dragged out of the door. She said that she had suffered a serious injury during the dog fighting, and it was not going to heal.Xia Qinglian saw this very rare Tibetan mastiff, and saw that although it was seriously injured, it might not die immediately, but was about to be buried alive, so she asked for it back.

When Xia Ningjue saw it, she liked it very much. In the security force of the National Institute of Virology where she worked in her previous life, she also raised such a Tibetan Mastiff. It was named "Black Fungus" by the team leader, and it was the treasure of the whole team.

So Xia Ningjue changed the name of the Tibetan Mastiff originally named "Black General" to "Black Fungus", focusing on treating its injuries.Because the injuries she suffered when she was fighting a dog were all traumatic injuries, which was exactly what Xia Ningjue was good at. After several months of cultivation, the black fungus became majestic again. She used to bark lowly when she was called "black fungus". Committed to the name.For Xia Ningjue, the "savior", she absolutely obeyed.

It's just that Xia Ningjue was afraid that the original owner of the black fungus would see the lively black fungus and regretted taking it back. Second, she was afraid of scaring Mrs. Xia, so she kept the black fungus at the back door and fed it herself every day. Except for Xia Ningjue and Xia Qinglian who fed the black fungus, they would not eat any food given to them.

But in the current situation, safety is the first priority. A black fungus can't guard the front and rear doors, so it can only be kept in the yard. Anyway, their house is small, and the whole family lives in the same yard.

"Well, let's keep them in the yard. After raising them for so long, Zilan and the others are not so scared anymore. My mother is still sick these two days and won't come to the yard. It's okay." Xia Qinglian agreed. According to Xia Ningjue's arrangement.

In the past two days, she gradually told Mrs. Xia how her aunt's family behaved, but she didn't say anything about the unconfirmed guesses.

As expected, Mrs. Xia fell ill with anger, but she blamed her daughter for hiding it from her, which made her almost make a big mistake.

Fortunately, Xia Qinglian was somewhat prepared. Although Mrs. Xia was ill, there was no danger, as long as she had a good rest for two days, she would be fine.

The black fungus was led into the yard, Zi Yi and the other maidservants didn't dare to approach it, but Zi Lan was a little interested, and teased it with a meaty bone, and the black fungus glanced at her from the corner of her eye, completely ignoring her.

"Sister Ning, the black fungus is really arrogant and ignores me." Zi Lan pouted.

Xia Ningjue scratched the hair of the black fungus, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, showing a bit of childishness.

Ziyi looked at the tall and fierce black fungus, her face turned pale and she trembled slightly.

Zixi sensed her fear, so she patted her cold hand and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the black fungus looks fierce, but it won't bite, just don't get close to it." Zixi is Xia Ningjue Her personal maid also often accompanied Xia Ningjue to feed the black fungus, but she was not afraid, and because the black fungus and Xia Ningjue often played and acted coquettishly, on the contrary, the black fungus could be seen as cute under its ferocious appearance.

Zi Yiqiang smiled, and finally went back to Mrs. Xia's room trembling, and did not come out casually.

Xia Qinglian went back to living a life of going out of the gate and not going out. Every day, she just talked to Xia Ningjue and gave the old lady a needle.But there is always a string hanging in my heart, and I feel a little uneasy.

In the afternoon of this day, the two were basking in the sun leisurely, Xia Ningjue was teasing the black fungus, and Xia Qinglian was drowsy with a book.

Suddenly, Zilan hurried into the courtyard, came to Xia Qinglian, bowed and said: "Second girl, someone outside invited the girl to see the doctor. It was Mr. Lin's family who went to deliver his wife a few days ago, and said that the young master was a little bit uncomfortable. alright."

Xia Qinglian dropped the book in her hand in shock, and said with a frown, "Who is here? How do you know it's from Mrs. Lin's family?" Xia Qinglian had to ask clearly, for fear that someone would trick her out.

"It's Mrs. Lin's housekeeper and a nanny, both of whom I met at Mrs. Lin's house that time." Zi Lan replied.

Xia Qinglian thought for a moment, and then asked Zi Lan to get the medicine box. After all, she was not someone who could ignore human life, not to mention that she had already had a heart for the little Lin family baby, and wanted to prevent him from dying, so she decided immediately Go take a look.

Xia Ningjue didn't stop her. Ever since she decided to stay behind closed doors to avoid disaster, Xia Qinglian refused all medical visits by reasoning that she was sick, so if it wasn't for the fact that the youngest son of the Lin family was really bad, Lin Hai would not have asked anyone to come to see a doctor.

"Zi Lan and Zi Fang are going out with Auntie, Zixi, go to Steward Du, and let Steward Du and Wu Ying follow up quietly. If Auntie really enters the Lin residence, send Wu Ying back to let Steward Du know. Stay there, wait for aunt to come out, you don't have to meet up with your sister, just follow behind quietly, don't let others find out. If someone really intercepts your sister halfway, Housekeeper Du will report to the police immediately." Xia Ningjue arranged.

Xia Qinglian nodded and said: "If something really happens, report to the magistrate's yamen. The current prefect Qu and that Tongzhi seem to belong to different factions. If there is a chance to grab that Tongzhi's braid, even if you don't want to tear your face outright, you can still get a little bit of trouble." Intimidate that Zhang Tongzhi." Xia Qinglian went to the houses of various mansions on weekdays, and she was able to find out some information about the family affairs of the wives and ladies.

After the arrangements were made, Xia Qinglian took Zi Lan and Zi Fang out.

The housekeeper and the nanny of Lin Hai's family were all true, and they entered Lin's mansion safely.

Xia Qinglian went directly to the inner house. Jia Min was still in confinement, and the room was airtight, exuding an indescribable smell.

After Xia Qinglian and Jia Min saw the ceremony, they quietly looked at the woman who had been taken care of in the red building. Her death seemed to just give Lin Daiyu a reason to enter Jia's mansion.Jia Min's appearance is gentle and charming. Although she is sickly pale after giving birth, she looks like a sick beauty with Xizi holding her heart. You can see the source of Lin Daiyu's "sickness like Xizi wins three points".

Jia Min's face looked a little pale, and Xia Qinglian could understand it. After all, the situation at the time of childbirth was too dangerous. Jia Min was completely hurt. Even if he lost a lot of blood, he could only make up for it slowly. Conditions for blood transfusions.

When Xia Qinglian was looking at Jia Min, Jia Min was also looking at Xia Qinglian.

This was the first time Jia Min saw Xia Qinglian after waking up. She felt that the woman in front of her was like a picture. Although she was not beautiful, she had a calm demeanor. Her smile was shallow but extremely warm, which made people feel a little embarrassed. close heart.

A neatly dressed woman came in with her baby in her arms. Jia Min's eyes immediately became concerned, and she said to Xia Qinglian, "I shouldn't bother you when you're sick, but brother Jue has been suffering from diarrhea for the past two days, so I invited a doctor to come here." It is said that it is caused by the womb, the spleen and stomach are too weak, if this continues, I am afraid it will not be safe..."

Jia Min said and began to cry: "I have no choice but to beg Miss Xia brazenly. This child was able to come to this world thanks to the girl's blessing. If... I'm afraid I won't be able to live..."

Xia Qinglian was heartbroken when she heard it. In the original "Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Min seemed to be overly sad because of the death of her youngest son. However, it seems that it should have happened when the child was three years old, right?

He didn't say much at the moment, he just hugged the baby from the nanny's arms, looked at it slightly, and frowned.At this moment, the child had diarrhea again, and Xia Qinglian didn't think it was dirty, watching the nanny change the diaper for the child, and then carefully staring at the diaper for a long time, she was not afraid of the dirty smell at all.

Looking at Xia Qinglian's behavior, Jia Min couldn't help nodding secretly, believing in Xia Qinglian even more in her heart.

"Which nanny's milk is my brother eating?" Xia Qinglian thought about it, and knew that the problem was with the nanny's milk. Fortunately, it was only a matter of these two days, because premature babies have weak spleen and stomach, and the onset was early. Jia Min and his wife loved their son very much, they never neglected it, and now it's not difficult to take care of it, as long as they don't take the problematic milk in the future, they only need to take a few very mild medicines.

"Going back to the girl, my brother is drinking the milk of me and Mama Li." The woman who brought the baby in before replied respectfully.

Lin Hai and Jia Min absolutely cherished this hard-won child like an eyeball. They hired two nannies in total, one surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Li, because they were afraid that the child would not have enough to eat.But the child was born prematurely and had a small appetite, so he couldn't eat much at all.

Xia Qinglian suddenly reached out and grabbed the nurse surnamed Liu's wrist, feeling her pulse.

Mama Liu was taken aback. Seeing Xia Qinglian's actions, she thought for a moment that she suspected that something was wrong with her milk. Although she did not intend to harm her little master by self-examination, she was afraid that she had already fallen into the trap of others. What was found on her body, she couldn't get rid of it, and her heart was up and down for a while.

Xia Qinglian took her pulse for a while, then let go, and asked Mama Liu to feed her milk.

Mama Liu suddenly felt relieved, knowing that she was fine, she felt a little soft for a while, she hurriedly gathered herself together, and carried the baby to the side to nurse.

Jia Min has a quick mind, and Lin Hai has had several concubines over the years, so he is naturally much more sensitive to the secrets of these back houses.As soon as she saw Xia Qinglian's actions, she knew that something went wrong.Now that Xia Qinglian ruled out Mama Liu's suspicion, the problem must be Mama Li.

Without waiting for Xia Qinglian to speak, Jia Min asked a maid beside her to call Mama Li in.

Mama Li came in, and after saluting, Xia Qinglian followed the same pattern to give her a pulse.

After a while, Xia Qinglian's face turned cold: "This mother seems to have eaten cold food. If the child eats such milk, his spleen and stomach will not be able to bear it."

Xia Qinglian was very angry. She knew the fierce struggle between wives and concubines in ancient times, but she couldn't bear the silent murder of innocent children.But after all, she is just an outsider. Apart from diagnosing the cause, other handling matters have nothing to do with her.

Jia Min's face became extremely serious for a moment. She couldn't spare the person who murdered her son, so she immediately ordered her mother-in-law to suppress Li's mother and lock her up. Ask again.The person behind this scene must be found out, otherwise, she will not be able to feel at ease for a day.

Seeing that things were over, Xia Qinglian sat down for a while, and came out with a few food orders, ordered them to be strictly cooked for the nanny, and listed some taboo or conflicting foods, and ordered them not to eat together, so she planned to get up and leave.

Before leaving, he asked, "Madam, do you have a name for my brother?"

Jia Min laughed and said, "My master has already chosen the child before it was born. There are men and women, and my elder brother's name is Lin Mojue."

Here Xia Qinglian bid farewell, and it was still Lin Butler and Jia Min's close-in-law Madam Cao who saw her off.

Over there, Jia Min asked someone to escort Li's mother up.After cross-examination, Aunt Jin, one of Lin Hai's concubines, was confessed, but she did not prescribe any medicine. She only let Li's mother eat some cold food such as millet mung bean porridge, purslane, and snails, and when she was taking care of Lin Mojue alone He quietly lifted the quilt to make him catch cold, but Lin Mojue was surrounded by a bunch of nurses and maidservants, and Mama Li didn't have much time to take care of her alone, so she couldn't succeed.It's just that Lin Mojue was born prematurely, and his spleen and stomach were weaker than ordinary babies. He only ate problematic milk for two days before he developed diarrhea.

Jia Min told Lin Hai about this, and Lin Hai was furious. Although he usually doesn't care about these wives and concubines, once he wants to do something to his only heir, he will never let him go.Immediately sold out Aunt Jin.

After going to Aunt Jin, Lin Hai still has two aunts, Aunt Jiang and Aunt Gao. Since then, Jia Min has been extremely wary of them. After this incident, Lin Hai has also acquiesced in Jia Min's behavior.

Aunt Jiang and Aunt Gao also realized that Lin Hai kept his filial piety and did not go to their room, and they would not come out of the house on weekdays, except to greet Jia Min, they would not come to the room easily.

Aunt Jiang lived in the dark west courtyard, but in the evening, the house was already dark.

Aunt Jiang sat on the bed, her face hidden in the darkness, and sighed leisurely: "It's a pity..."

Aunt Jiang's close maid, Cuilu, brought tea: "It's Miss Xia's fault."

Aunt Jiang smiled slightly: "It's okay, except for at least one, and we also know that in terms of food and medicine, we must not tamper with it in the future."

Cui Hui helped Aunt Jiang take off her clothes and rested, and said, "But Ma'am is so tight now..."

"No problem," Aunt Jiang waved her hand, "there will be a long time to come."

The voice gradually lowered: "In the future, Fang Chang..."
