New Dream of Red Mansions

On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai each sent two people to follow Xiyan to Gusu.She knew that in order to reassure the Wang family and the Jia family, she would return to Yangzhou immediately after the Chinese New Year, and they would be at ease under Jia Lian's nose.

This is the first time for Xiyan to see the two grandfathers in a real sense. The third grandpa and the third grandma looked over when brother You couldn't help waving and calling "sister". Xiyan was taken aback when she saw the three old people , hurriedly stepped forward, she did not expect the three old men to pick them up in person.

Brother You smiled happily: "Sister, Third Grandpa said he wanted to see Sister, so we came together. Sister, Third Grandma made you a lot of new clothes."

Xiyan said embarrassedly: "I let the three elders worry about Xiyan."

Grandpa Six waved his hand indifferently and said, "They are all the same family, what are you talking about? Well, people have also received it, let's go back quickly."

A group of people went back to the small courtyard in Gusu by car. After dinner in the evening, the third grandpa and others called Xiyan into the study, muttering: "You said that the water and soil in our Wangjia Village may be bad. Your sixth grandpa and I made a careful investigation later. Fan, found that the villages adjacent to our village are much better off than ours, although it is not easy to feed babies, but speaking of it, our Wang family is the one that suffers the most. "

Xiyan frowned, "I read about strange people and strange things from an annals. It mentioned a similar phenomenon in a certain place, but I'm afraid I have to find a professional to find out why."

The third grandpa and the sixth grandpa looked at each other, and the sixth grandpa said: "Your third grandpa and I have checked the classics, and found that most of the visions are caused by metal. I don't know if there is such a thing where we live."

"Metals have always been controlled by the imperial court. Although there are private individuals, most of them are people who have been deeply involved with the imperial court. If we report it, the generation of Wangjia Village will probably be relocated. Our Wang family will be fine. Our ancestral grave is in another place. As long as people move away, that’s enough, but there are still many people living there for generations in the village, and their ancestral graves are nearby, I’m afraid they won’t leave, and we’ll hurt people’s lives if we report it.”

"The third grandfather, why don't you talk to the village chief and discuss it with a few respected elders. Whether to move or not depends on their ideas, and this matter is still uncertain."

The third grandfather nodded, "We also mean the same thing, but this time I told you that it is for your father's adoption, and I will have to go back to the village to sacrifice..."

Xiyan smiled and said: "The two grandfathers have lived in the village for many years and it's okay. Brother Yu and I just went to live for a while, so it shouldn't matter."

The third grandfather nodded in relief.

However, Xiyan remembered Xiangling's life experience, and thought that the two grandfathers had lived in Gusu for many years, so they might know each other, "Third grandfather, I wonder if you have heard of Zhen Shiyin?"

"Zhen Shiyin?" Third Grandpa and Sixth Grandpa looked at each other, wondering: "How do you know him? He is a man of good looks, but he hasn't seen each other for many years. Why, what do you want to do with him?"

"The third grandpa and the sixth grandpa haven't heard from his family in the past few years?" Xiyan told the two grandfathers about Xiangling, and finally said: "I promised her to help her find her parents, but it's just that the ten-mile street was murdered back then. Burning, many people have left, and her family doesn't know where she went. I only heard that she went to join Feng's natal family, but I can't tell where Feng's natal family is, and there are few people under my command. , it is very difficult to find someone, considering that my grandfather lived in Gusu all the year round, so I have never heard of it.”

The third grandpa and the sixth grandpa knew that at that time, their little granddaughter was critically ill, and after seeking medical advice to no avail, the three of them were a little disheartened, and the third grandpa had to take care of his wife, so he didn't care much about Gusu. It seems that Zhen Shiyin had an accident during that time.

Although the third and sixth grandpas had never met Zhen Shiyin, they knew about his reputation as a man of urgency and righteousness. Knowing that his only blood had fallen to such a state, they couldn't help frowning, "It's better to find someone to redeem her."

Xiyan shook her head and said: "The Xue family is not short of money, Xue Pan killed a person for this, not to mention Xue Pan, even Aunt Xue is not willing to let go."

"Xiangling is the daughter of a squire. Her father also has fame and was abducted. As long as you tell them the truth, and you tell them the truth, the Xue family doesn't lack anything. Why bother holding her?"

Xiyan shook her head firmly. Xue Baochai might agree, and Aunt Xue might also consider it, but Xue Pan would definitely not agree. If he knew Xiangling's identity, he might be a little excited, and then he would not be able to keep Xiangling. Ling.

Xue Pan is making noise, Aunt Xue loves her son so much, she is naturally on his side, and to Xue Baochai, brother and mother are naturally a hundred times more important than an insignificant girl. Ling had already guessed it, so the Xue family could not know Xiangling's identity, at least not until the Feng family was found.

The third grandpa and the sixth grandpa agreed to help find the Feng family, Xiyan felt relieved, the third grandma just opened the door and glared at the third grandpa angrily, "The child has been on a long journey for a day, and you don't know how to let her go to rest."

Xiyan smiled and said, "Third Grandma, Xiyan is not tired yet."

The third grandma's expression suddenly softened, and she took Xiyan's hand and said, "Why aren't you tired? After a day's boat ride, hurry up and soak in hot water. I'll have someone cook you a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Drink it warm." Go to sleep."

Xiyan was taken aback for a moment, it was rare for someone to care about her like this.Xiyan's heart warmed slightly, and she responded with a smile.

The new house they bought is a three-entry yard, which is naturally very small for the Jialin family who lived in the Wang family, but it is more than enough for this family of five.

The third grandma has been observing Xiyan's expression carefully, seeing that she has no intention of dislike, she is a little excited.If her little granddaughter survives, she will be exactly the same age as Xiyan.

On the second day, Xiyan and Brother You spent the new year with the three elders in a lively manner. Brother Yu happily ran and jumped, laughing loudly: "Sister, sister, I am the happiest this year."

"Aren't you happy in previous years?"

"In the past, only my sister pretended to be me wholeheartedly, but this year, there are four people who pretended to be me wholeheartedly."

Xiyan was both funny and sad when she heard it, so she dragged Brother You to set off firecrackers.

The sixth grandfather smiled in satisfaction: "In the past, I was worried that this kid would be stupid in reading. It's not that he's not lively, it's that the time has not come yet."

The third grandfather also nodded in satisfaction, "Brother Yu is a good one." After a pause, he said: "If Brother Yu can pass the childbirth test this time, let's go to Beijing with them. Others teach, but we teach other people's children here, which is a loss to our own children."

Grandpa Six nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and make some arrangements, and I'll take all the shots I can."

The third grandfather choked, and said after a long time: "I mean wait until Brother Yu has passed the childbirth test."

The sixth grandfather sneered, "Who is the third brother lying to? Don't say that Brother Yu will definitely pass the childbirth test, but if he fails, we will go to Beijing. See how the surname Chen taught our grandson? I often It is said that he has recruited too many disciples, and he has lost his energy, if there are only one or two around, will Brother Yu ask Sister Yan if he doesn't understand?"
