[Red Mansions] Dependents

When Rongguo Mansion received the imperial decree from the palace, everyone was ecstatic. Mother Jia hurriedly asked Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng to choose a site to build a provincial villa. It happened that Aunt Xue brought Baochai to the house. Came to congratulate, heard Mother Jia said that she wanted to build a family-introduction villa and hurriedly said: "It is a great honor for your mother-in-law to visit her mother-in-law. This is something that the queen has never done. If the old lady doesn't dislike it, our Xue family can help your mother find the best one. Good craftsmen, and the best civil engineering materials, can be regarded as a little bit of my heart for the empress, to borrow the light of the empress." Aunt Xue thought in her heart that she would take this opportunity to please Yuanchun, and the chances of Baochai entering the palace would be even greater in the future. They are big, and the two families are intertwined. The glory of the Jia family is also bright. Not only that, but the construction of the family-saving villa is a big project. It is a good opportunity for their own shops to profit from it, so how can it be cheaper for other families.

Hearing Aunt Xue's flattering and flattering words, it was a lie to say that she was unhappy, Mother Jia and the others immediately smiled all over their faces: "My aunt is too polite, isn't this lady also your niece, she calls you aunt if she says anything, Now that I am favored, how dare I forget you. Besides, we are all laymen when we build a provincial villa. With your Xue family helping me, I feel relieved. It’s just that our estimate may not be enough for the officials. Well, how about this, the second room will take out 5 taels, the first room will also take [-], and I will also take out [-], if there is any shortage in the future, I will make up."

As soon as Jia's mother said this, Jia She couldn't hold back: "Old lady, our first wife doesn't have so much money to spend, and this lady is the daughter of their second wife, so they will pay for it themselves."

Mrs. Wang was not happy when she heard this, she was already very distressed for asking her to pay so much money, and this big house still wanted to rely on her own share, Jiamu's face sank, and she scolded: "This Although the empress is the daughter of the second room, after all, she is the flesh and blood of our Jia family. You are the only one who owns the empress, so you can’t think of this money? Don’t say anything else. After paying the money, the empress will definitely remember it. You guys are really short-sighted and rough."

"The old lady is right. Although Yuan Chun is the daughter of our second wife, your first wife has benefited a lot after Yuan Chun became a concubine. Everywhere you go, you are always supported by others, but now you are saying this." Mrs. Wang Hearing what Jiamu said, she hurriedly answered.

Mrs. Xing was fine, but Jia Amnesty was different. During this period of time, he used Yuan Chun's name to do a lot of things outside, and what could he say if he was told so in person, no matter what he did.

At this time, Aunt Xue was not idle, and when she heard that the Jia family was short of money to build a family-friendly villa, she made a small calculation in her heart, and said to Jia's mother after the calculation: "The old lady is raising money for the mother, so there is nothing wrong with it." Without our family's filial piety, this 1 taels is a little sympathy from our family, if it wasn't for the lack of cash at home, it must be more than that." Then Aunt Xue took out the 1 taels of silver note from her bosom and handed it to Jia Mu.

At first, Mother Jia refused politely, "How embarrassing, my aunt helped us solve the construction problem of the family-saving villa. How can I collect my aunt's money now?" Seeing what Mother Jia said, Mrs. Wang Even if she wanted to reach out to pick it up again, she also had to take into account the prestige of her old lady, so Mrs. Wang had no choice but to agree with her, but her eyes were fixed on the 1 taels of silver note, wishing to grab it and put it in her arms to hold it , so that no one can see it.

"The old lady is being polite to me. The old lady is not saying that I am the mother's aunt. It is only natural for the aunt to contribute to the niece. Why should my family do this? The old lady should accept it." Aunt Xue is also a good person. How could it be possible not to know what Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were thinking, the 1 taels must be given, but it would definitely not be given in vain.

Mrs. Wang heard what Aunt Xue said, and she couldn't wait to say: "That's the same reason. Since my sister has said so, old lady, let's stop rejecting my sister's wishes." Put it in your arms.

Mother Jia was not very happy to see Mrs. Wang like this, but since she was Yuan Chun's mother, she couldn't say anything. Now Mrs. Wang's tail is getting higher and higher, and she feels what a remarkable person she is.

At the beginning of autumn, Daiyu fell ill.Yu'er, Xueyan, Liangmao and the others were in a hurry, and they found a doctor to come and suffer a lot, not to mention, it hasn't improved at all, it seems to be getting worse, Daiyu originally wanted to hide it from Ya Xin, but paper can't cover the fire, Yaxin found out about this in a few days, and rushed over from Ningguo Mansion in a hurry, bringing her family and a lot of people with her.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" When Daiyu saw Yaxin rushing over, although she said she didn't want Yaxin to know and worry every day, she felt infinitely warm in her heart at this moment. Rongguo Mansion has been busy visiting relatives for Yuanchun recently. In the construction of family-friendly villas, except for the occasional visits by the sisters, those elders just send people to express their condolences, saying that there is nothing wrong with them, but people are the most vulnerable when they are sick, and they all hope that there will be someone who sincerely cares and takes care of themselves at this time.

Yaxin walked quickly to the bedside: "You look like this and still want to hide it from your sister-in-law, you girl is really sick, you are so sick and you still think about why you don't let me know. What are the doctors before? A quack doctor can't even cure a disease, today my sister-in-law asked Rong'er to find you the best doctor in the capital, and I'm sure you'll get well soon." Yaxin held Daiyu's hand and touched her His face has become much thinner, this disease must be due to the lack of food, coupled with a morbid appearance, it is even more pitiful.

After putting down the curtains and barriers, Jia Rong came in with an old doctor. The old doctor looked bad during the process of seeing Daiyu, and his brows were tightly frowned, which made everyone worry about Daiyu's condition. What's wrong.

After a while, the old doctor said: "The girl's body is fine, the old man prescribed a prescription, and it will be better after three days, but...what kind of pills are you taking to keep your body healthy?"

"Yes, it's ginseng Yangrong pills, the girl has been taking them for many years." Xueyan replied.

"Can I show the old man?"

Xueyan looked at Daiyu, saw that Daiyu agreed, and said, "Zicuckoo."

"What's the matter? But what's the girl's order?"

"Bring the ginseng Yangrong pill that the girl ate!"

Zijuan brought ginseng Yangrong pills, Xueyan took it and handed it to the old doctor, but Zijuan retreated consciously: "This is it."

The old doctor picked up the pill and smelled it and knew something was wrong. Seeing that the old doctor shook his head, Yaxin asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with this pill?"

The old doctor said respectfully: "Young lady's delay in recovering from her illness is probably related to the pills. Fortunately, she was discovered early, so she probably didn't take much."

Yaxin was surprised, and asked, "What do you mean by the doctor's words?"

The old doctor didn't hold back, and said: "Madam, the girl is weak, and it's a good way to raise it with ginseng. It will be much stronger after a long time, but the ginseng in the pill in the old man's hand has deteriorated over time, and the effect of the medicine is not good. Jia is even a bit poisonous, which is fine for ordinary people. The girl's body can't bear it, and she has suffered a little cold, so it's hard to heal, but the medicine is only a few days old, and the girl doesn't take it much. alright."

"Oh. That's it. Then I'll trouble the doctor." After seeing off the old doctor, Yaxin faced Yu'er and the others coldly. These girls knew that they were not doing enough to protect the Lord, so they knelt on the ground and waited for Yaxin's punishment.

Daiyu couldn't bear to see them like this, and said to Yaxin, "Sister-in-law..."

"Don't open your mouth, sister-in-law will take care of this matter, you just calm down and take care of your illness." Yaxin said to Daiyu, and then said to Yu'er and others: "Who will tell me now, where did this pill come from?" here?"

Yu'er hurriedly said: "Madam, the girl's medicine was taken care of by slaves and snow geese before, but now Zijuan takes care of it."

"Zijuan, did you get this medicine from the girl, or where did you get it?" Yaxin called Zijuan and asked.

Zijuan didn't know why Yaxin asked this question, so she answered honestly: "The girl had finished eating the pills she brought, and Sister Yu'er asked her to tell her, but it happened that the second wife sent someone to bring the medicine, Zijuan thought It’s all the same, so I didn’t tell Sister Yu’er, so I just used it.”

"Oh? That's it. You go down first, girl, you don't need too many people to take care of you. If there are too many people, you will be too noisy." Yaxin asked casually, and Zijuan couldn't figure it out, so she backed out .

After Zijuan left, Yaxin said: "Be careful in the future, you are responsible for the girl's food, I don't worry about the others, don't let some dirty things appear in the future, if the girl has something else Mishap, I don't care whose family you are, I will punish you all."

"Your maidservant knows, don't worry, Madam, I will be very careful in the future." Yu'er and the others said in unison.

"Well, you guys go down first, and I'll deal with those poisonous pills." Yaxin said.

Seeing Yu'er and the others walk away, Yaxin turned her eyes to Daiyu again: "You still dare to laugh, if you dare to hide anything from me next time, I will punish you as well."

Daiyu still smiled, put her arms around Yaxin's neck, rubbed her head against her chest and said, "Okay, next time if Daiyu does something wrong, she will be willing to deal with what sister-in-law will do."

"Just make sure I love you, and I won't punish you too much." Yaxin was afraid of Daiyu's back, and said with a smile: "I should punish you, and see if you dare to squander sister-in-law's love for you."

Daiyu continued: "Yes, Daiyu knows that sister-in-law loves Daiyu, so she just wants sister-in-law to love Daiyu like this all the time."

Yaxin's lips raised. If she had treated Daiyu because of the original book at the beginning, now after getting along with her sincerely, she treated her like an ordinary child. She was no longer a character in a book, but a living person. A well-protected child, this kind of feeling is just an elder's love for the young, a woman's maternal instinct, and she doesn't want her own children to have any pain.
