There is no phoenix

When Baoyu came to Jiamu's house, she saw Sister Feng, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Tanchun Xichun all there.Seeing Baoyu coming in, Jia's mother called Baoyu with a smile and said, "Baoyu, come here. There is a great event in our house today. Come and listen to it."

Baoyu hurriedly asked: "Old lady, do you know what is going on in our house?"

Jia's mother laughed and said, "Baoyu, do you know that your Lian's second elder brother has now been appointed as the magistrate of Chang'an County in Ping'an Prefecture, and will soon take up his post; Rong brother will be appointed as the Dragon Guard in the capital, so he has a position. Now you are the oldest one left in the mansion, I hope you will work hard and work hard, and at this time next year, you will also take the exam to see if you can enter school."

Mrs. Wang also said: "Baoyu, you have to live up to it now, the old lady loves you so much, don't let the old lady down."

When Baoyu heard this, he could only answer vaguely.

The next day, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng discussed Baoyu Baochai's marriage again.Mrs. Wang said: "Yesterday, according to your mother's tone, it is better to do it in the first month. She said that the emperor has already said at the court meeting that after the spring, all parts of the country should promote frugality, encourage farming and mulberry, and then send many court officials to go. Inspections in various places. We are the government of the state, and it will not be good to have a big wedding, and the master does not know whether he will be sent to various places to persuade farmers."

Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "I think so too. Xue's family has Girl Qin's marriage this year, and it would be inappropriate to have Girl Bao's wedding again. Let someone choose a proper day in the first month."

Mrs. Wang said: "It's October now, and it's only two or three months until the first month. I'm afraid you will have to work hard for Feng girl for the next few months."

Jia Mu said, "What does Lian'er want to do when she takes office?"

Sister Feng said: "I heard from the Elder Master that according to the order of the Holy Majesty, he must go to Chang'an County to take up his post within one month from today. Second Master Lian said that he will leave after more than ten days."

Jia's mother said: "Girl Feng, let's wrong you for the past few months. Now you don't want to go to Chang'an with Lian'er for the time being. You stay and discuss Luo Baoyu's marriage with Tan girl. When Baoyu gets married, you can do whatever you want." Lian'er is going to Chang'an County, and you can live your little life with peace of mind in the future, and see if you can use the spiritual energy of Chang'an County to allow you to conceive your brother as soon as possible."

After hearing this, Sister Feng had no choice but to agree.

But Jia Lian learned that the emperor had issued an edict, and the children of the family who had donated their posts with the army last time were given corresponding posts according to the donated posts. He himself had been awarded the Tongzhi of Chang'an County. duty.Jia Lian was indescribably happy, discussed with Jia She, and decided to live up to the grace of the Holy One and go to Chang'an County as soon as possible.

In the evening, Mrs. Xing specially called Jia Lian to her, and said: "Now that you have a position and are about to go to Chang'an to take up the post, your father is relieved now. Although you are not my own, I still advise you, you This time, take Qiu Tong. You are in your mid-twenties, and you are still a daughter like Sister Qiao. If you don’t have a son in the past two years, who will our eldest wife rely on in the future? Logically, I shouldn’t say this, but I Not to mention, I'm afraid you just follow her temperament to please the old lady. If she can give birth, she won't give birth to sister Qiao after so many years!"

After hearing this, Jia Lian naturally understood what Mrs. Xing meant.

He and Sister Feng have been married for seven or eight years, and now Jia Lian only has one daughter, Sister Qiao.Ever since the incident with Bao Er's family came out, the relationship between husband and wife with Sister Feng has also plummeted.Later, what happened to Second Sister You made Jia Lian even more resentful towards Sister Feng.

Now that he has a position, Jia Liandun feels that he is suddenly elated.Just because I don't have a son, I am often depressed and have nowhere to vent.Sister Feng's dominance and Chang Xiaoyue's illness in the past two years added to Jia Lian's indifference to Sister Feng.From Jia Lian's point of view, if Sister Feng could have another child, she might not be as she is now. She used to be so domineering and powerful, but now she often lies in bed to recuperate.

Among Sister Feng, Qiutong and Ping'er, Jia Lian still likes Ping'er the most. However, it is impossible to take Ping'er to Chang'an County, because Ping'er is a dowry girl brought by Sister Feng, and she is very loyal to Sister Feng. .So Jia Lian thought about it for a while, and still happily agreed to Mrs. Xing to take Qiutong to Chang'an County to take up the post.

Sister Feng heard from Jia Lian that she had decided to take Qiutong to take up the post in Chang'an County, and she also said that it was Mrs. Xing's idea. Jia Lian still showed complacency when she said this.Sister Feng naturally knew that Mrs. Xing was using this to abuse herself, so she could only cry secretly.

In the past two years, Sister Feng had three miscarriages, and her body was already exhausted.Although I have been taking medication, it has not improved.Sister Feng has always been very strong, but her stomach is not up to date, and her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, is not considerate. Instead, she taunts Sister Feng with sarcasm, saying that Sister Feng has always ignored her mother-in-law and only favored the second wife.

Since Sister Feng fell ill and rested, Jia Lian seldom slept with Sister Feng.When Sister Feng arrived at this time, she no longer had the original intention to be brave, and was even a little disheartened.

When Jia Mu saw that Sister Feng came to pay her respects sometimes, she described her as a little haggard and her spirit was not as good as before. She thought that Sister Feng was sick and so she comforted her a lot.

Mrs. Xing is not a calculating person. Originally, Sister Feng had a big opinion on Sister Feng's housekeeping. Seeing that Sister Feng was unable to have the energy to manage the house due to physical problems, Mrs. Xing felt that it was good to kill Sister Feng like this, and she was secretly happy.

But on the second day Miaoyu moved back to Muni Court from Jia's Mansion, Shui Rong Feng Ziying brought two palace nuns and four maids to Muni Court, saying that they came to teach Miaoyu Palace etiquette.He also read the emperor's decree to Huiming, the presiding officer of the Muni Academy, saying that Miaoyu is the princess, and she was ordered by the emperor to meditate in the Muni Academy for half a month.

In addition, the emperor gave 1000 taels of silver to Muniyuan for repairing the nunnery, and another 500 taels of silver as the living expenses of Miaoyu's master and servant for half a month.Huiming was naturally very happy to see that Miaoyu had successfully recognized and returned to his ancestors.

On October [-]th, Shui Rong and Feng Ziying came to Muni Court again to inform Miaoyu that the emperor had named her Princess Xiaoyi, and that on the [-]th, the crown prince, concubine Zhou Gui and concubine Wu Gui would welcome her back to the palace .The rest of the etiquette is taught by two nuns.

Feng Ziying and Shui Rong had seen Miaoyu in the Muni Academy, and then they went to the Jingxi Military Camp together.Feng Ziying wanted to see his elder brother Zi Yong, and Shui Rong wanted to see Li Tai.

The Beijing West Barracks is training recruits.Shui Rong and Feng Ziying came to the school grounds and saw Feng Tang Ziyong and Li Tai there.Seeing that his younger brother Ziyong has been blacked out a lot, Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Ziyong, what do you think? I was forced by my mother to come here, but you wanted to come here by yourself. My mother asked me to come and see. Are you still used to it?"

Zi Yong smiled and said: "Brother, I think this place is very good. You can train at home, but if you want to go to the battlefield, you can't come here."

Feng Ziying said: "Since you left Ziyong, Zigang also said that he would come with you. My mother said that my son wants to go out when he grows up, so let her be alone. I feel that the family is calm and peaceful."

Zi Yong hurriedly said: "What's the matter, big brother just marry Miaoyu's sister-in-law back as soon as possible. Let us big men stay at home with mother, and we won't be laughed at!"

Shui Rong and Li Tai walked on the school grounds, Shui Rong said: "Li Tai, to tell you the truth, I have always wanted to ask you, do you hate me for taking away your sister Yu'er?"

Li Tai sighed: "My lord, how could I hate you? Maybe it's God's will. If I miss a year, I miss my whole life. That's Sister Yu'er's own choice. In Sister Yu'er's eyes, I have already seen I know her tenderness for you, young prince. I know that Sister Yuer chose you willingly. I like Sister Yuer, so I naturally respect her. As long as she is happy, I have to comfort her. Comforting. However, young prince, I hope you will always cherish Sister Yu'er, she has suffered so much, and she should be rewarded for it!"

Shui Rong sighed: "Li Tai, do you know that the first time I talked to sister Daiyu, you were the one I envied the most at that time. Because in her mouth, she kept talking about Brother Tai, how about Brother Tai Admire plum blossoms with her, write plum blossom poems together, and patiently teach her how to ride a horse, and accompany her through the grief of losing her father. I think that before she was 12 years old, no man could replace her brother Tai. At that time, I I'm really worried that you will come to the capital, because when you come, sister Daiyu will not have any shadow of a man in her heart."

Li Tai smiled wryly and said: "But I missed the best opportunity. Young prince, I might as well tell you that I was going to come at that time, but the sky didn't help me. On Spring, my grandfather passed away, and on Mid-Autumn Festival, I My grandmother died of illness. Last year, I wanted to come to Beijing, but my father was transferred back to Gusu, and my mother was always sick. I also have two younger sisters and one younger brother. They are young, so I delayed coming to Beijing until this year."

Shui Rong said: "Li Tai, let me tell you that sister Daiyu vomited blood several times in the past two years and was very ill. I hated the Jia family at that time. Although they raised sister Daiyu, they made her sister After 360 days a year, the days of wind, knife, frost and sword made sister Daiyu vomit blood and fell to bed several times. I am also grateful to Jia's house, because of Jia's house, I have so many opportunities to meet Sister Daiyu, let me exist in Sister Daiyu's heart."

Li Tai was a little puzzled and asked: "How could this be? At the beginning, Master Lin was willing to send Sister Yu'er to the capital, which meant that Sister Yu'er's grandmother was very kind to Sister Yu'er."

Shui Rong then told Li Tai about Daiyu's frequent illnesses in Jia's mansion, going to Muni's hospital, and the acute vomiting of blood in Jia's mansion. It's difficult to express such melancholy. Young prince, do you know that every time I think of sister Yu'er's teary eyes, I feel worried. But don't worry, sister Yu'er chooses you now, I believe in her vision, and I also believe in your love for her I just hope that you don’t let Sister Yu’er down. She has a strong personality and a kind and pure heart, so don’t let her be wronged!”

Shui Rong patted Li Tai on the shoulder vigorously and said, "I will, Li Tai, sister Daiyu said you are her dearest brother, so I will respect you as my own brother. Don't worry, I, Shui Rong, will never let you down in my life. Sister Daiyu! You will always be the brother who treats Sister Daiyu best in Yangzhou, I believe you will be able to find the woman you love!"

Li Tai looked at the sky and sighed: "Maybe, everything should have God's will!"
