Continue to write the dream of red mansions with the routine of house fighting

It is said that Mrs. Wang is dead, and for the convenience of the funeral, the family negotiated to park Mrs. Wang in the Rongxi Hall first.Xiaohong left Ping'er, went through the hallway, and followed Mrs. Wang's back door all the way to Rongxi Hall, but just passed the gable wall and exited the Moon Cave Gate, and ran into Li Wan head-on, and Li Wan's expression was panicked. , staggered, and almost bumped into Xiaohong. Xiaohong helped her up and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong? But you're not feeling well?"

Li Wan came back to his senses for a moment, and saw that it was Xiao Hong, with a look of distress on her face. Xiao Hong didn't know what was wrong with her, so she hurriedly said: "Auntie is not well, I will call for a doctor !" But Li Wan hurriedly shook his head and stammered: "It's okay...I'm fine...don't worry about it." Saying this, he broke away from Xiaohong's hand and went back.

Xiaohong didn't want to follow her rashly, so she had to go ahead first.If something like this happened in the Rong Mansion in previous years, the guests would have broken through the threshold long ago, but at this time there is not even a single outsider in the mourning hall, only Baoyu, Baochai, Jiahuan and Jialan, who are all in front of the mourning hall Kneeling.Xiaohong heard that Jia Yun went to Jia Zheng's place again, and she didn't know when he would come back, so she wanted to wait for Jia Yun in the anteroom, and before leaving the room, she saw Wang Ren and Jia Qin talking outside from a distance. laugh.Xiao Hongsu didn't like Jia Qin's character, and it was inconvenient for her to come forward because she was a family member, so she pretended not to see her and sat in the side room waiting for news from Jia Yun.She never thought that just as Xiaohong was about to enter the ear room, she saw Suyun who was beside Li Wan hurried over and pulled Jialan to the back.Xiaohong just saw that Li Wan didn't keep her house, and she just thought it was something bad about her. Now that Suyun came to invite Jia Lan, she didn't think it was strange.

That Jia Lan was kneeling beside Jia Huan, helping Jia Huan add paper.Suddenly, Suyun rushed in, saying that it was Li Wan's fault, and told him to go and have a look.Jia Lan and Li Wan are the only ones who depend on each other for life on weekdays. When they hear that Li Wan is not good, how can they care about other things?He hurriedly followed Suyun out of Rongxi Hall and went straight to Li Wan's room.

Seeing Jia Lan's return, Li Wan let go of the big stone in his heart and sent all the maids out of the room. Then he said to Jia Lan: "My son, you are here. Mother has something embarrassing here, and I can't do it." Discuss with other people, so I had to call you over. Among the people in this mansion, only you and mother are connected by blood, and mother can only talk to you if she has anything to do!"

Jia Lan hurriedly asked Li Wan what happened.Li Wan said: "Just now when I came back from going out to relax, I happened to hear your sister Qiao's uncle talking to your elder brother Qin. He said that your second uncle Lian called him over and said he was going to entrust Qiao girl to him. Your second uncle Lian opened the door." He didn't want to say it, but he didn't want to answer, but he was afraid that the woman at home would not let him, and the money would not be handed in. After hearing what he said, your elder brother Qin laughed at him and said he was a coward. Your elder brother Qin said that our family It's already a grasshopper after autumn, and it won't be able to jump for a few days. In the future, what will happen to your second uncle Lian and the others if they can't keep it together? At that time, the girl will be flattened and rounded by the Wang family? Will you beat it or sell it, or be a slave girl? Isn’t it all up to their Wang family? He also said that he knows a few people who like to accept these down-and-out daughters the most, and the price they pay is also high. If they sell it to the south in the future, how many times the profit will be, it depends on whether the Wang family wants to face or not. I want money!"

After hearing this, Jia Lan asked, "Is that why the mother called the baby?" Li Wan said, "It's for this reason. I thought all the way back, should we tell your second uncle Lian about it? Qiao girl is our family's girl after all, if someone ruins her, we will also lose face."

Jia Lan sneered and said, "What did mother say? No one in this house regards us as 'we'. If you want me to talk about things that have nothing to do with us, we don't have to worry about it. We just want to live a good life for us. .”

Li Wan said: "According to what you mean, we don't have to talk to your second uncle Lian?"

Jia Lan nodded and said, "Naturally, you don't need to say it. It might not please my mother if she says it."

Li Wan asked, "Where did you start talking about?"

Jia Lan said coldly: "Except for my mother, no one else heard this, right?" Li Wan nodded, and then Jia Lan continued: "That's it, then Wang Ren is Qiao girl's uncle. Could it be that Second Uncle Lian didn't believe in his own brother-in-law, but instead believed in his mother, the sister-in-law next door? If Wang Ren denied it, what would happen to his mother? If Second Uncle Lian understood, he could still recognize his mother. You're so confused, you're still pretending to be a mother trying to provoke someone else's brother-in-law to befriend you." Li Wan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and sat on a chair to think carefully.

Jia Lan said again: "I don't think Second Uncle Lian may understand, even if he understands, he can only pretend to be confused. I heard from the master that now our family's family friends have more or less been found out. The family has already been copied, and the family of a century-old family is proud of it. It takes only a short time for the descendants to be separated. If the second uncle Lian doesn't entrust Qiaomei to Wang Ren, who else can he entrust to? If Wang Ren can't reassure him He is even more worried about other people. Second Uncle Lian must be determined to entrust Qiao girl to his uncle, and he can only take this step. Therefore, no matter what his mother says to Second Uncle Lian, Second Uncle Lian will not Believe it, if he believed it, then he himself pushed Qiao girl into the fire pit? How could he believe what his mother said? We might as well not cause this trouble. Besides, the melon fields between uncles and sisters-in-law are gone, and the second aunt Lian is not here now. Now, it's easy for mother to go to Lian's second uncle, I'm afraid that some gossip will be brought up and my mother's reputation will be tarnished, the servants in our house are used to chewing these maggots that are there or not!"

Hearing this, Li Wan couldn't help nodding his head and said: "My good boy, it's because you're thoughtful."

Jia Lan said again: "Mother has finished listening. Third, hum! What good do they have for us?" Jia Lan's tone was full of resentment, and Li Wan was also startled when he heard it. Said: "Mother is the eldest daughter-in-law of the old lady, and I am the grandson of our second room. Who of them takes our mother and daughter seriously? As the saying goes, Feng Shui takes turns! Now it's their turn to be unlucky! What my mother said is right. In this house, I am the only one connected by blood with my mother. The mother only has me, and I only have my mother. Other people’s affairs have nothing to do with us. We are orphans and widows. Reason? In my child’s view, it’s good if we can take care of ourselves, and care about other people’s pain?”

Hearing Jia Lan's words, Li Wan felt reasonable for a while, and felt uneasy for a while, so he could only comfort himself with the suspicion that meeting his uncle and sister-in-law was hard to avoid, and then thought that Wang Ren might not really be able to take care of Sister Qiao, maybe it was just Jia Qin himself wishful thinking.Thinking of this, he gradually let go of the big rock in his heart, and said to Jia Lan with a long sigh of relief: "Good boy, you are right, we orphans and widows can't take care of ourselves, and I still want to take care of others." Go. As the saying goes, more things are worse than less things, let's just study and live, and in the future you will gain fame so that you can earn face for your mother."

Jia Lan leaned in Li Wan's arms and said, "Mother, just don't worry, no matter whether it's civil or military, the child will always earn some fame. It's ridiculous that the old lady and the old lady treat Uncle Bao's trash as a treasure, and it depends on when he falls into the grass." Have a broken stone in your mouth? One day, the child will ask them to see who can revitalize the family business and honor the ancestors!"

Li Wan is well aware of Jia Lan's ambition and has always been proud of Jia Lan. Hearing his words now is even more comforting. It seems that his years of time have not been in vain. You are a good boy with ambition! My mother will wait for my son to pass the exam and tell them to open their eyes and take a good look!"

Jia Lan personally wiped away Li Wan's tears, and comforted Li Wan in a low voice. After Li Wan calmed down, she said to Li Wan seriously, "My son has one more thing to tell mother." Li Wan saw that Jia Lan was serious, He also straightened his body and told Jia Lan to speak as soon as he had something to say.Jia Lan said: "I just saw Second Brother Yun. He said that the master sent him outside to continue to inquire about the Elder Master, so I asked him a few words. According to what he said, the Elder Master's matter may not be settled. Mother talked about sister Qiao again, I think we should make plans earlier."

Li Wan said: "My son, I also have this plan. After the madam is over, I will ask you, Aunt Wen and Qi, to come to the door. Mother has saved a lot of things over the years, and the sum of gold and silver is four or five." Qianjin. When I write a ticket and ask your two aunts to send all these things to your foreign family's family deposit, in the future, you will be counting on this money when you study, start a career, get married and start a family."

Jia Lan pondered for a moment and said: "Mother, don't wait, I will send someone to ask my uncle and grandmother to bring the two aunts here today. If others want to ask, they will just say that they are here to pay homage to the wife. Let's transfer the money out earlier, so as not to worry about it." There are many dreams at night. If something happens, it will be too late to regret."

Li Wan thought about it and felt that what Jia Lan said was reasonable, so he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to Li's house.The mother and son had discussed everything properly, so Jia Lan still went to pretend to be in front of Mrs. Wang's spirit. Li Wan also asked the maids to come in, washed her face and combed her hair before returning to the front hall.
