There is no phoenix

Not to mention how Shui Yiyi got together with Li Wen at Daiyu's place.

However, in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng had already returned, and he could only let out a long sigh when he learned that the Ningguo Mansion had been ransacked.

On the second day after Jia Zheng returned to Beijing, he also had an interview in Chengde Hall, but Shui Ruoyang never mentioned anything about the Ningguo Mansion, and only asked Jia Zheng to rest at home for a while, and then go to the Ministry of Household Affairs after a year.Jia Zheng didn't dare to ask about the Ningguo Mansion, so he returned to the mansion trembling.

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, Mother Jia thought that Mrs. You would move to the family of Mrs. Hu, Jia Rong's wife, and that there would be a lot of difficulties, so she asked Amber Duck to pack some clothes and bedding and sent them to Lin Zhixiao's family.

Dai Confucianism has passed away, and Jia's family education can only be temporarily closed.Baoyu is in the study every day, although most of the time he is reading the "Zhuangzi" given by Xichun, but Mrs. Jia Muwang feels relieved, thinking that Baoyu is finally willing to make progress consciously.Jia Huan also often goes out these days, not knowing what to do.Li Wan was still reading and writing with Jia Lan in Daoxiang Village.

At that time, Mother Jia was talking to Yuanyang, when a girl came in and said, "Old lady, Eunuch Dai, who is beside the emperor, has sent someone to deliver a message!"

Mother Jia was shocked when she heard this and said, "Please enter the hall quickly, I'll go out right away! Go and ask the wives to go out together!"

After Jiamu finished speaking, she was helped out by Yuanyang.

When Jia's mother came to the living room, she saw Lai Da drinking tea with the two father-in-laws. Seeing Jia's mother coming out, the two father-in-laws knew that they were Mrs. Guogong's wife, and hurriedly saluted: "Old Madam, the virtuous concubine is taking care of her body. My father-in-law sent us to pass on the emperor's dictation that two of Xu Jia's family members and one girl will enter the palace at midnight tomorrow, and leave the palace at noon."

Mother Jia quickly thanked her and said, "Thank you, father-in-law!"

After that, Jia Mu asked Yuanyang to present the first-class seal.The two father-in-laws took it and thanked him: "Old Majesty, the emperor's grace is so great now, don't miss the time tomorrow." After saying that, he got up and left.

When Mrs. Wang came out, she saw that the father-in-law who had sent the message had left, so she hurriedly asked why.

Jia's mother said: "Your Majesty let us enter the palace with two female family members and one girl each at Chenshi tomorrow, and said that we must leave the palace at noon."

Mrs. Wang said happily after hearing this: "Finally, I can enter the palace to see my mother. Old lady, I think my mother is still in confinement, so let us go and see her. Although my mother gave birth to a princess, she is the blood of the royal family. Do we want to see her?" Bring something in?"

Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "Before the empress was pregnant, the emperor didn't allow her to bring anything in. Now the empress is still in confinement, and the little princess is still young, so it's better not to bring anything, or bring some money in, maybe the empress will use it Got it."

Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady, the money in the house is limited now, and Chinese New Year is coming soon, so I'll prepare 3000 taels right now, nothing more."

Jia Mu nodded and said: "Now that the empress has a little princess, the most important thing is that the empress and the little princess must be well. Let's go in and have a look at the empress first. Let's give the empress 2000 taels."

Mrs. Wang came out of Jiamu's place, and just returned to the house, she saw a girl come in and said: "Madam, Yu Chuan'er's mother, old daughter-in-law Bai, wants to see my wife!"

Mrs. Wang looked at Yu Chuan'er beside her, and asked, "You went back a few days ago, why does your mother want to see me now?"

Yu Chuan'er said: "Ma'am, I don't know either. But last time, my mother said that my business uncle came back from the south and said he wanted our family to go to the south together."

Mrs. Wang heard this, and hurriedly said to the girl: "Let her in!"

After a while, the old white daughter-in-law who was nearly fifty years old came in, saluted Mrs. Wang, kowtowed and said: "Madam, thanks to Madam's grace last time, I let my old lady go out. Now my wife is not in good health. Yu Chuan'er's uncle came from Nan Bian is back and wants to take me to the south. So I want to ask my wife for another favor, and I want to redeem Yu Chuan'er to go to the south together."

Mrs. Wang was startled, and hurriedly said: "What? You want to redeem Yu Chuan'er and go out?"

The old white daughter-in-law said with tears: "Madam, you know, Jin Chuan'er is gone, and now I only have Yu Chuan'er as a daughter, and her brother and sister-in-law are people who can't say a word for a long time. Yu Chuan'er is gone now, and I beg Madam let Yu Chuan'er go because of Yu Chuan'er's loyal service to his wife for many years?"

Mrs. Wang pondered for a while, looked at Yu Chuan'er and said, "Yu Chuan'er, you also want to leave me, don't you?"

Yu Chuan'er hurriedly knelt down and said: "Madam, Yu Chuan'er knows that my wife values ​​her, but now my mother is not in good health. My uncle said that he would take our family to the south, and hoped that my mother's illness would improve there. Madam is always kind, In terms of age, besides the mandarin ducks, I, Yu Chuan'er, is already the oldest girl in the mansion, I only hope that my wife can fulfill my desire to go back to the south with my mother."

Seeing that Yu Chuan'er had made up her mind to go, Mrs. Wang said with hope, "Yu Chuan'er, can you stay, I can let you and Baoyu in the future, are you willing?"

After hearing this, Yu Chuan'er kowtowed and said, "Madam, Yu Chuan'er is a servant. He has no talent, no looks, can't speak, and doesn't know how to serve men. If Madam can remember that Yu Chuan'er has been loyal all these years, I just ask Madam I can finally give Yu Chuan'er a favor!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Yu Chuan'er, since you said so, it's useless for me to keep you. However, you are different from others. If you give me 50 taels of silver, you can leave now."

After hearing this, Yu Chuan'er hurriedly said: "Madam, can you have less? The other girls are all 25 taels, Xiaohong was only 20 taels that day, Zijuan is also 25 taels, and the spring fiber is even less, why do I want 50 taels?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Yu Chuan'er, I don't think I have treated you badly. Only your sister Jin Chuan'er left, and I gave you a double copy for more than a year. But you can leave now, what else can I say?" What? Now the mansion is different from the past, and the money is tight, so it’s a tael if you can get one tael more, or if it starts tomorrow, I’m afraid everyone will want to leave.”

When Yu Chuaner wanted to say something, the old wife Bai kowtowed and said, "Okay, ma'am, I'm going to borrow money from my brother right now."

Mrs. Wang said: "The silver will be delivered within three days, and Yu Chuan'er can go out at that time. If you don't come to redeem it in three days, you will have to wait until after the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid there will be more silver."

Seeing the old lady Bai leave, Mrs. Wang saw that Yu Chuan'er was still kneeling on the ground, and sighed, "Yu Chuan'er, get up. It's not that I won't let you go. I just said that if I don't do this, others will know the Dongfu now." Something happened, and everyone tried to get out. You are different from Xiaohong Zijuan Chunxian back then. Xiaohong's parents are still working in our house. Zijuan belongs to the old lady. She is an inconspicuous little girl. I asked your mother to give you a few taels more, just to silence everyone."

After hearing this, Yu Chuan'er had no choice but to kowtow to Madam Wang and said, "Madam, I understand. Madam, don't worry, if my mother doesn't redeem me for a day, I will still be Madam's girl."

Mrs. Wang said: "It's good if you can say that, and I'm relieved. You don't want to stay and serve Baoyu. I expected it, but I didn't expect your mother to redeem you now. Now you Mother is not here, let me tell you, if you are willing to stay, when you turn 20, I will set you free without your ransom, what do you think?"

Yu Chuan'er hurriedly said: "Madam, although I can wait, my mother may not be able to wait. I have grown too young and have no chance to honor my mother. If my mother leaves early like my father, I am afraid I will not be able to make up for it." There is a chance, so this time I will only listen to my mother and uncle."

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Okay, I have already agreed, as long as your mother can get the money in these three days, I will naturally not break my promise. You go and clean up now, and accompany me into the palace tomorrow."

After hearing this, Yu Chuan'er hurriedly said: "Madam, I'd better choose another person to accompany you. Yu Chuan'er thought of the old mother dragging her sick body to raise money, so she really didn't have the heart to accompany her. There are many rules in the palace, and Yu Chuan'er is afraid My mood affects the old lady and wife, and I am even more afraid of affecting the imperial concubine and the little princess, so I hope my wife will choose another person who is more appropriate."

Seeing Yu Chuan'er's firm attitude, Mrs. Wang could only say: "Okay, then I will let Xiu Luan follow me into the palace, and you will help me wash all the tables and chairs in Haofutang here tomorrow."

After hearing this, Yu Chuan'er kowtowed calmly and said, "Yes, thank you madam!"

Mrs. Wang looked at Yu Chuan'er and said in a hurry: "Yu Chuan'er, go tell Lin Zhixiao's family and send two baskets of charcoal to the old lady and the eldest lady. Before your mother comes to redeem you, you Just do rough work in this yard for the time being."

After hearing this, Yu Chuan'er hurriedly agreed, "Yes, ma'am!"
