New Dream of Red Mansions

Mrs. Tai admired: "What a courageous girl." Turning to the old lady, she said: "Since she is your niece, then please invite her to come and sit at home."

The old lady nodded, "She is currently living in Rongguo Duke's Mansion, and I will post a post for her in two days, and invite some more children to be guests, so it will not look awkward at that time."

Mrs. Tai comforted herself, knowing that she wanted to take this opportunity to invite more girls from aristocratic families to visit her, and Mrs. Tai also had some expectations in her heart, if only Tian'er could get married before she left.

The old lady asked about Wang Xiyan's help in detail, the more she listened, the more she felt that Wang Xiyan was bold and careful, and the lady praised: "I used to hear you two say that Wang Zifei and his wife are tough and bright, now look at his children. What you did is true. Back then, I blamed you for taking Tian'er into danger for them. Speaking of which, this can be regarded as the fate of the two families. Back then you injured Tian'er in order to save them, but now their sons and daughters are doing it to save them. Tian'er and our Pingyang Marquis Mansion are in danger. Tian'er, you must not forget this kindness in the future, do you understand?"

Xia Yuntian answered yes repeatedly, and after asking, they got up and went to eat together.

Zhang Shicheng followed Xia Yuntian into his bedroom, and asked curiously: "Why did I hear you were still involved?"

Xia Yuntian said indifferently: "I don't remember the details, I just remember that when I was five or six years old, I encountered a strong man on the way back to Beijing with my parents. I ignored my father for half a year, combined with Miss Wang's statement, it seems that that time saved her parents."

Zhang Shicheng said with a smile: "This can be regarded as good will be rewarded. If the old Hou Ye and the old lady hadn't saved her parents back then, no one would come to save you now."

Xia Yuntian nodded, he also thought it was fate.

The old lady sent someone to inquire about Wang Xiyan's affairs in the Jia's house. The Jia family's family style has never been tight. Although it was a matter of the inner house, the old lady still found out after three days that Wang Xiyan went to Yangzhou with the girl from the Lin family. The lady sighed. , she had no chance to meet that girl.

Maybe it's because Mrs. Tai's deadline has come, or maybe Mrs. Tai has let go of her worries after seeing Xia Yuntian's safe return. In just four or five days, Mrs. Tai has shown signs of failure, and the old lady is no longer in the mood to arrange for Xia Yuntian to go on a blind date. , every day in front of Mrs. Tai to wait on the sick.Even Xia Yuntian only went to the Yamen for half a day, and spent the rest of the day at home with his grandmother.

The emperor was a little disappointed when he heard about Mrs. Tai's illness. He is also getting older, and now his energy is limited, otherwise he would not want a Zen seat.Several sons have already abolished two, so they can't be allowed to fight each other.Only when he abdicates and watches everything settle before he dies can he close his eyes after death.

Compassionate and sympathetic, the emperor rewarded Mrs. Tai with a lot of good medicinal materials.

But even this did not stop Mrs. Tai from leaving.

On June 22, when Mrs. Zhen Guogong came over again to mention the marriage, the old lady finally couldn't help but get angry, and said coldly: "Now Mrs. Tai is not feeling well, and the family doesn't care about it. The third girl is beautiful. , the Duke of Zhen's mansion is also the honorable man of the dynasty, so I think it's because he doesn't worry about others."

Mrs. Zhen Guogong felt a little angry, but she just thought of what her husband said that Pingyang Hou's mansion is different now, so she asked her to hold back.Both the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion and the Duke of Zhen Guo’s Mansion were born as military generals, and in the end when their titles gradually weakened, they both earned a hereditary successor by relying on their military exploits. All three generations have produced shrewd and capable children, and the title has always been stable. Although the Duke of the State is still the Duke of the State, it is just that the emperor is thinking of the merits of the old Duke of the State. Dissatisfied, he intends to remove the hereditary decree of the Duke's Mansion and make it hereditary. If so, after two generations, the Duke of Zhen's Mansion may not even be considered a name in the capital.

Now is the time when the Marquis of Pingyang is favored, and in the future it will be the empress's mother's house. If the two families can become in-laws, maybe...

Mrs. Zhen Guogong suppressed her anger and persuaded: "This is true, but the marriage of our two families was settled several generations ago. Now there is only one person in the Hou Mansion, Lord Hou. He has also reached his age. If you want to come to Mrs. Tai Would you also like to see your most beloved children and grandchildren get married?"

The old lady had a cold face, and the Xia family made a promise that she could not refuse even if it was just a verbal agreement. She was about to say something when Su Momo hurried in from the outside, with a slightly flustered expression, "Old lady, the lady is calling and you."

The old lady's complexion changed slightly, she apologized to Mrs. Zhen Guogong, and hurried to Mrs. Tai's yard.All the maids and women in Mrs. Tai's yard stood quietly at their posts. There was no sound of people in the whole yard. The old lady walked in quickly, and Mrs. Tai leaned on the pillow to wait for her.

"Mother." The old lady nodded to Mrs. Zhou, and grabbed Mrs. Tai's hand.

Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "Where's Tian'er?"

"

My daughter-in-law has already asked someone to call him, and he will be back soon. "

Mrs. Tai smiled and said: "I am destined to drag that child down. You must choose a good wife for him later." Mrs. Tai paused, a candidate flashed in her mind, and she subconsciously grasped the old lady's hand.

The old lady called out suspiciously, "Mother?"

Mrs. Tai's eyes were shining brightly, she whispered: "What do you think of that child?"

The old lady didn't realize it for a while, but when she saw Mrs. Tai smiling at her, the old lady hesitated and said, "That child, isn't he too young? He's six years younger than Tian'er."

The eyes of Zhou's standing beside him flickered slightly.

Mrs. Tai no longer cared about her presence, and said with a smile: "When Tian'er finishes observing his filial piety, he will not be young."

"Mother," the old lady yelled disapprovingly, thought for a moment, and said, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law knows what to do."

After Mrs. Tai explained this sentence, she felt that her wish was fulfilled, she opened her eyes and looked towards the door, waiting for her only grandson to see her off.

Xia Yuntian rushed into Mrs. Tai's yard unimpeded all the way, seeing his grandmother looking at him with a smile, he felt a little relieved, he didn't know what the two of them discussed earlier, and when Zhou saw Xia Yuntian coming in, he quickly got up and let the On one side, looking at him thoughtfully.

At the beginning of noon, Mrs. Tai of Pingyang Houfu died of illness!

At the same time, Lin Ruhai, who was far away in Yangzhou, also closed the account books, and said to Zhang Daren, the magistrate of Yangzhou who he had invited to testify, "In this way, the distribution of property is over. From now on, my son's family and Yu'er will be separated." Please, relatives." As he spoke, Lin Ruhai bowed while supporting his sick body.

The Patriarch Lin and Jia Lian who were sitting on both sides hurriedly got up to return the gift. Jia Lian said, "Uncle, don't worry, there is an old lady in the family who loves my cousin, and my mother and second aunt treat my younger sister as if they were their own. I will definitely not let my younger sister be wronged."

The patriarch of the Lin clan nodded repeatedly.Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Ruhai's handing over half of the property to Jia's family, Lin Ruhai also gave the family a lot of public land, which can be said to have contributed a lot to the family, and in the future, Daiyu and Lin Yuan's children will depend on Jia As a helper, he naturally wouldn't show Jia Lian's face.
