There is no phoenix

The day after Baoyu's uncle and nephew left the capital, Mrs. Wang fell ill.Jia Zheng is a person who doesn't know how to make a living, so he can only ask for medical treatment, and he doesn't have a few good words to persuade him.

On May [-]th, Aunt Xue came to see everyone. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was haggard and dying, she couldn't help but shed tears to persuade her, and Baochai also shed tears.

Aunt Xue said: "Sister, now my brother-in-law has returned without guilt. Baoyu has only been in Liaodong for two years. Take good care of yourself and wait for Baoyu to come back."

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "Sister, so I always thought I was lucky. Zhu'er went to school to marry a wife, Yuan'er entered the palace at 13 to be a female historian, and later became a noble concubine. My mother finally had a little princess. Who knew that their mother and daughter went away suddenly. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for Baoyu to come back, and I will only suffer from Bao girl's mother and son."

After hearing this, Baochai burst into tears.

Seeing that Baochai was so sad, Aunt Xue hurriedly asked Tongxi to help Baochai go out to see the child.Tongxi knew Aunt Xue's intention was to hope that Baochai would see the child less sad, so he helped Baochai out.

Aunt Xue comforted Mrs. Wang and said: "Sister, you are a smart person, why can't you think about it until now. Just like me, Bao girl and her father have been away for so many years, and Pan'er has such a thing, I still can't get over it Now? You still have a brother-in-law, an old lady, mother and son Lange, Bao girl and Kuier, Huaner was not born by you, after all, she is also under your name. If they come back, if they can make progress, you are not The head of the family?"

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Sister, let me tell you the truth, since I married into Jia's mansion, I have lost all my vigor. When I gave birth to Zhu'er and Yuan'er, the master quickly accepted Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao. They don’t come into my house either. If it wasn’t for my elder brother who has always been highly valued by the emperor and is an extremely human minister, how would I have Baoyu? Fortunately, the old lady loves Baoyu, so I can live a good life for a few years.”

Mrs. Wang coughed several times when she said this, and Aunt Xue hurriedly brought a cup of tea for her to drink.

After drinking tea, Mrs. Wang seemed to feel better, and said, "Sister, let me tell you, my heart has died since I knew Yuan'er and her mother had gone. Although Baoyu is supported by Bao girl, I can rest assured. But now this The house is already like this, the old lady didn't say anything, she was blaming our Wang family in her heart, blaming me and Feng girl for not taking care of the house, and I'm afraid we made things up with Baoyu and Bao girl. On the day she moved here, she Many people said that they lived together with the big house. Lan'er's mother obviously bought the house, maybe she had already made plans before the house raid, but now that she knows how we are, she doesn't even come to see us. What hope is there? Sister, let me tell you, if I close my eyes now, I will be free."

When Aunt Xue heard this, she felt sad and couldn't help crying.

Mrs. Wang took Aunt Xue's hand again and said: "Sister, we are all hard-working people. If I leave, you should take Bao girl and mother back to live. Bao girl is also pitiful, she never speaks of her suffering, yes My precious jade owes her."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue comforted her and said, "Sister, don't say that, it's all Bao girl's fate. It was great to see her and Baoyu at the beginning, but Baoyu just couldn't forget Miss Lin. Miss Lin is so sick, It's such a good fate to marry into the Beijing Palace. By the way, I also heard that Miss Lin has given birth to a son, who was born with the same birth as the Crown Princess. I heard that the Holy Majesty was very happy, and he had two grandchildren in one day. Let the East Palace and the Beijing Palace make a big fuss about holding the full moon wine."

Mrs. Wang said: "I didn't expect Miss Lin to have such a good life. At first, when I saw her body like this, I thought she wouldn't live for a few years. It seems that everything is fate, and it can't be controlled at all."

Aunt Xue nodded and said, "Yes, no one thought of this."

Mrs. Wang said: "Back then in our house, the old lady valued Lin girl and Yun girl, but I always thought that Lin girl was too talkative and small-minded. I was afraid that Miaoyu was the most intolerable in her heart. I didn't expect that the house would be in great trouble. At that time, Miss Yun’s husband’s family lived not far away, so she didn’t care about it, but Miss Lin’s husband gave 1 taels of silver to the old lady, and Miaoyu’s son-in-law also gave silver. I gave away the silver, and when I heard that Baoyu left, I rushed to see him off. This man, I have lived for more than 50 years, but I just haven’t seen it through.”

Aunt Xue said: "So sister, you should relax first, everything will change. Just like my Pan'er, when he had an accident, I thought the sky was falling. But thinking of how many troubles he caused before, maybe this It is the catastrophe he deserved. He has been on the border for almost a year now, and he will be able to come back in two years. I don't believe that he has not made any progress in the past three years in Liaodong."

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Sister, I want to strive for success, but the people under my name are either one way or the other. Now that I'm here, it's hard for me inside and out. How can I be good?"

Aunt Xue saw that Mrs. Wang was always reluctant to let go, and she was very helpless, so she could only comfort her, and then she said goodbye and went back.

On the morning of May [-]th, Mrs. Wang's girl saw that Mrs. Wang's room was still quiet, so she had to knock on the door and push the door, but found that it was locked inside.Jia Zheng also felt that something was wrong, so he pried open the door and went in, only to find Mrs. Wang lying on the bed neatly dressed, already out of breath, and couldn't help but groan.

The death of Mrs. Wang made everyone in the house very sad.In the afternoon, Jia Zheng asked the girl to go to Xue's house to inform Aunt Xue and Wang Ren, who knew that Aunt Xue asked Qinger to tell that Sister Feng also died of illness in the Prison Temple last night.The emperor thought it was Prince Teng's niece, and Xu's relatives took the body back for burial.Now Wang Ren has taken back Sister Feng's body, saying that he will send it back to Jinling for burial.

Knowing that Sister Feng has passed away, Ping'er and Sister Qiao are the saddest.According to Qing'er, because of the hot weather, Wang Ren wanted someone to send Sister Feng's coffin back to Jinling as soon as possible.Ping'er and Sister Qiao begged Jia's mother, and went to Wang Ren's mansion to see Sister Feng for the last time without waiting for Mrs. Wang's burial.

When Ping'er brought Sister Qiao to Wang Ren's mansion, Sister Feng had already put it in the coffin under the wooden shed outside, but it hadn't been covered yet.

Sister Qiao saw her mother lying in the coffin without a sound, crying loudly.Ping'er thought of Sister Feng's kindness in the past, and almost fainted from crying.Aunt Xue was sitting under the eaves, thinking of her sister passing away, and her niece passing away like this at a young age, what a beautiful person she was back then, and now she has become like this, she couldn't help crying.

For a moment, Wang Ren asked people to close the coffin lid, pulled Qiaojie over and said, "Qiaojie, remember, your mother is the only younger sister of your uncle, but it is because of the Jia family, because of your unworthy grandfather, and your Your miserable father forced your mother to do this. Remember what your uncle said, it was the Jia family who made you motherless!"

Sister Qiao argued with tears: "No, uncle, the old lady said that my mother did something wrong, and it was my mother who wanted to leave Jia's mansion."

Wang Ren said: "Sister Qiao, why are you so stupid? People from the Jia family lied to you. Your father drove your mother away because of that Qiutong, even Ping'er, he doesn't care. If you don't believe me, ask your aunt Ping !"

Qiaojie listened and only looked at Ping'er. How could Ping'er say anything at this time?She could only weep silently, pulled Qiaojie over and said, "Qiaojie, let's go in and rest first."

On the morning of May [-]th, Wang Ren asked his servant Ah Quan, two older family members, and Sister Feng's girl Feng Er to escort Sister Feng's coffin back to Jinling. Er Qiao sisters.

On May [-]th, Mrs. Wang's coffin was sent to Tiekan Temple, the family temple, and Wang Ren also came to see it off, and then went straight back to his mansion.

In Tiekan Temple, the coffins of Qin Keqing and Jia Jing from the Ningguo Mansion are now entrusted, and now there are more coffins of Mrs. Wang.What Jia's mother meant was that when autumn came, Jia Zheng hired someone to send these coffins back to Nanjing, where they were originally from, and then bury them in Jia's ancestral grave.

On this day, Li Wan brought Suyun over with Aunt Xue, and brought some bolts of satin and a basket of eggs for Jia Mu.After sending Mrs. Wang's coffin to the family temple, Li Wan took Suyun and left in a hurry.

Aunt Xue discussed with Jia Mu, saying that Baochai's child was still young, Xue Pan was not there, and there were only two masters, grandparents and grandchildren, and she wanted to take Baochai back to live for a while, so as to help the village itself.

Mother Jia was already an old woman, and she heard that Mrs. Wang had given such instructions before her life, so she nodded and said, "Forget it, it's not easy for my concubine, old or young, let Bao girl go to your place."

After Jiamu finished speaking, she asked Amber to give Baochai 200 taels of silver, and gave some instructions.So Baochai took her girl Yinger and her son Jia Kui, and went back to Xue's house with her mother.
