Evening Shaohua in the Red House

But it was said that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Because Sister Feng was upset and her energy was not as good as before, Li Wan had to help with some trivial matters.

This day, with great difficulty, all the daughters-in-law in charge were dismissed, and seeing that it was still early for lunch, Li Wan took advantage of the time to take a nap on the cool couch under the window of the moon hole, with Biyue playing a fan beside him.

The bamboo shadows outside the window are scattered, and the green screen window is a little cool, Biyue is also a little sleepy, squinting her eyes and dozing off, shaking the plantain fan for a while, suddenly sees Suyun leading a few women in with a pile of things. , Biyue woke up with a start, quickly waved her hands, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, grandma is sleeping!"

Li Wan was just pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, but when he heard this, he opened his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm just taking a rest, I haven't slept yet." While talking, he sat up, saw the tray in Suyun's hand, and asked, "Where did you come from?" ? What's on the plate?"

Suyun presented the tray and said with a smile: "I just came from my wife, and just now my empress sent Eunuch Xia out with a gift of 120 taels of silver, and told me to perform a three-day "Ping An Jiao" in Qingxu Temple from the first to the third day of the junior high school, singing operas and offering sacrifices. , Master Zhen is leading all the gentlemen to kneel down and worship Buddha. There is also the Dragon Boat Festival gift, so my wife asked me to bring it here. This is grandma’s, two pieces of gauze, two pieces of lollipop, and two sachets Two ingots of medicine." After finishing speaking, he asked a few women to put down the things, and said, "This is from Brother Lan, two handles of high-grade palace fans, two ends of phoenix tail, and one collar of hibiscus mat."

Li Wan nodded, opened it casually, and saw that the two ends of the phoenix tail are two colors of lake green and sapphire blue, the texture is delicate and soft, and the few pieces of gauze are also new patterns this year, the color is refreshing, and very light. So soft, he ordered someone to send the hibiscus mat to Jia Lan's room, thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, I will cut two clothes for Lan'er with these phoenix-tailed Luo Luo, and then I will make this gauze made of bamboo green and lotus root for me." One gauze shirt, two skirts, and the rest are put away for now."

Suyun agreed, and took the little girl to register the things.

Biyue helped pack things, and said, "Is this what other people have too?"

Suyun picked out the pieces of gauze that Li Wan had mentioned, and replied: "How can it be the same, only the second grandma's is the same as our grandma's, and the second master Bao's is the same as Miss Bao's, and there are more than Brother Lang's." Two strings of red musk beads. The old lady has one more Xiangyu Ruyi and one agate pillow. The master and wife only have one more Xiangyu Ruyi. The second girl, the third girl, and the fourth girl only have fans and counting beads. None of them."

Jia Lan's talent for reading is extremely high, and he has achieved fame at a young age.

This nephew valued it very much, and the rewards during festivals and festivals were only slightly less than Baoyu.

Biyue was startled when she heard this, and wondered, "Why is there no elder or mistress?"

Suyun couldn't answer for a moment, hesitatingly said: "Maybe it's because the empress didn't pay attention?"

Li Wan was straightening the broken hair on his sideburns, and he couldn't help but pause when he heard the movement of his hands. He felt thoughtful in his heart, which was a little strange. It stands to reason that Yuan Chun had been in the deep palace for many years, and he acted cautiously, so he wouldn't be so careless. Besides, even Yuan Chun Forget it, the female officer next to her will also remind her, why did she miss the big room alone?

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all puzzled.

Li Wan frowned and pondered, but he couldn't figure it out, so he had to let it go, and said to Suyun and others: "Don't discuss this matter outside in the future." No matter whether Yuan Chun did it on purpose or not, it's not very appropriate to do such a thing, and if it spreads, it will be offensive. .

Everyone hastily agreed.

Just after packing up the things, suddenly the woman who was sent to Li Shouzhong's house to give the gift was talking back and forth in a panic, out of breath: "Grandma is not well, the master in-law has passed out, and now the Mansion is inviting a doctor!"

Li Wan was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes. He hurried to see Mrs. Wang, told the reason, and said, "My father doesn't know what's going on now, and I really miss him. Please allow me to go back have a look."

Mrs. Wang was also surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Flesh and blood, there is no reason why you are not allowed to go." While talking, she ordered someone to open the warehouse, packed up some medicinal materials and brought them to Li Wan, and said, "It will take two days anyway. It's the Dragon Boat Festival, and you haven't been back for several years, so you'll hide in the afternoon and come back, so you can serve your master, if you need anything, just send someone back."

At this time, northern folks regard May as an "evil month". The custom regards May and May [-]th as an evil month and an evil day.

Because Li Wan is a widow, Feng Rong's mansion was in a hurry the year before last, and he was in Gusu last year, so he hasn't gone back to his mother's house for lunch for several years.

Li Wan hurriedly agreed, and went back to Daoxiang Village to pack up his luggage and some precious medicinal materials for first aid, and then sent someone to Shen Yi's mansion to deliver a message to Jia Lan, leaving Wutong and a few little girls to look after the house, and hurried to Li's mansion go.

But it was said that Li Shouzhong fainted suddenly, Li's mother rushed to seek medical treatment, and all the aunts waited on the kang.Fortunately, the doctor came after a while, and he said that he had suffered from heatstroke, and there was nothing serious about it. After the acupuncture, Li Shouzhong woke up slowly, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

The doctor left a prescription, gave some instructions and went.

The aunts change shifts to eat and rest, and Li Heng's wife, Mrs. Zhang, is having tea

The room watched the servant girl brewing the medicine, and suddenly the daughter-in-law in charge came back, saying that the aunt had come, she couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly sent someone back to Li's mother, leaving her confidant servant girl to watch the medicine in the house, and took the maids to the door of the hall. waiting.

Li Wan just entered the door, and when he looked up, he saw Mrs. Zhang standing in front of the eaves with her maids and women. He hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, how is father's condition? What can the doctor say?"

Mrs. Zhang greeted her down the steps, saw that her forehead was covered with sweat, and knew that she was in a hurry, so she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my aunt, the master's illness is not serious. The doctor came to see her, and he has woken up after the acupuncture." Come here, the doctor said that he fainted for a while due to heatstroke, after taking the medicine and recuperating carefully for a few days, he will be fine."

Only then did Li Wan realize that it was a false alarm, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, clasped his hands together and said aloud to the Buddha, and said with a smile: "Bless the Bodhisattva, it will be fine if nothing happens. To be clear, it scared the hell out of me."

It turned out that Li Shouzhong fainted for a while, and everyone in the whole house was scared out of their wits. They were in a hurry, and there was no time to see off the guests. The women in Jia's house only heard that the master had passed out, and they saw people rushing to ask for the doctor, so they thought it was Li Shouzhong. It's all right, I can't be fooled, so I hurried back to report to Li Wan.

While the two were talking, it was time for Mother Li to go to the room. Mother Li was very happy. coming."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "This is also my aunt's filial piety. As soon as she heard that the master was ill, she rushed here."

After all, Li Wan was a little worried, and said to Li's mother, "I haven't gone to pay my father's greetings yet, I wonder if my father has fallen asleep?"

Li's mother heard the words and said, "I just drank some soup and haven't slept yet. I heard that you came and said that I want to see you."After a while, Chunhua came to invite him and said, "Master can't wear a crown, please let my aunt go in."

Li's mother took Li Wan's hand and went to visit Li Shouzhong in the inner room. Mrs. Zhang was her daughter-in-law, so she couldn't go to her father-in-law's bedroom, so she brought her maid to prepare food and drinks.

Walking into the inner room, Li Wan saw Li Shouzhong leaning on the bed, wearing a stone-blue light gauze casual dress, he was in good spirits, but looked haggard.

Li Wan saluted, Li Shouzhong waved her to get up, the aunts also came up to salute, and moved a stool over, Li Wan leaned forward and sat down, Fang said: "Father, how do you feel at the moment?"

Li Shouzhong smiled slightly: "It's okay, it's already much better, but it's just a minor illness, which frightened you."

Li Wan heard the words and sighed: "Father is also an old man, and now it's hot again, so it's better to take care of him."

Mother Li shook her head when she heard this, and said, "I've said it a long time ago. Now that I'm old, I need to rest more, but your father refuses to listen. He goes to work every morning and evening, and is more diligent than anyone else. He can't sit still when he is free." , Go to play chess with that colleague today, and go fishing with that friend tomorrow, I can’t persuade him, I’m afraid he will listen to what you say.”

Li Shouzhong couldn't help being a little embarrassed seeing his old wife revealing his faults in front of his daughter, coughed, and changed the subject: "Daughter is coming back rarely, you ask the cook to prepare a few more dishes."

Mother Li also put aside the matter when she heard the words, she took Li Wan's hand and said, "Since you're back this time, why don't you stay longer?"

Li Wan agreed, and said with a smile: "Our wife told me to hide for noon before going back. Naturally, I want to stay longer. Mother just don't dislike me."

Li's mother was very happy when she heard the words, her daughter's life was miserable, she was widowed at a young age, and she had few chances to go back to her mother's house. Ask someone to pack the bed and cover the tent.

The eldest maid, Chunhua, immediately took the girl and mother-in-law to cook.

Li Shouzhong was still ill after all, so Li Wan sat down for a while and then withdrew.

Just after leaving the room, Mrs. Zhang sent a servant girl, Hanyu, to pass on a message: "Madam, please show me that the food and wine are ready, where should I sit?"

Li's mother said: "it's hot today, so let's stay in the Lotus Perfume Pavilion. It's cooler there. You can lower the windows on both sides and look at the lotus leaves."

Not long after, Jia Lan also rushed over. Seeing that Li Shouzhong was fine, she felt relieved and went to the study to meet her uncle Li Heng and cousin Li Hou.

Li Shouzhong took the medicine, and his spirit improved a lot, but he hadn't fully recovered yet, so he just kept him in his room.

Li Wan's mother and daughter wentssiping for a while, and then it was said that the banquet was ready, and they all came to the lotus perfume pavilion.

It turned out that the waterside pavilion was built on the lotus pond, and the bamboo bridge was the ferry. Mrs. Zhang stood at the head of the bridge and waited. Li's mother came over with Li Wan and entered the waterside pavilion. There is a table in the middle, and the table is full of fresh fruits and various delicacies.

Mrs. Zhang offered to sit down, and Li Wan pulled Mrs. Zhang to sit down together, and said with a smile, "There are no outsiders here today, my sister-in-law should sit down too."

Mother Li also nodded and smiled: "What your sister said is true, you can sit down too."

Mrs. Zhang agreed, and now Li Wan and Mrs. Zhang sat opposite each other, and Mrs. Li sat at the top, and the bottom was empty.

for serving.He also ordered Chunhua to take two daughters-in-law and girls to serve here, and the rest to serve the uncle and the young master, and they agreed to go.

Today is a family banquet, and there are no outsiders. The ladies just talked about family affairs, and they left after a few glasses of wine, so there is no need to repeat them.

In a blink of an eye, Li Wan had already lived in her natal family's house for seven or eight days. Li Shouzhong was only suffering from a bit of summer heat, so he was not seriously ill at all. After a few days of recuperation, he was fine.

Seeing that Li Shouzhong had recovered, Li Wan could not stay any longer, so he returned to Rongfu.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to the mansion, he heard that Baoyu had been beaten and was recovering from his injuries.

Jia Lan was changing her clothes when she heard the words and said in amazement: "How can such a good-looking master beat Uncle Bao?"

Wu Tong glanced at Jia Lan, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard that the second master Bao was in contact with the little actor of the Zhongshun Palace, and then let him go privately. The third master of Shanghuan filed a complaint, and the master was annoyed at the time, tied up the second master and beat him severely."

Jia Lan frowned when she heard this. After all, she was an elder, so she couldn't say anything, so she thought about it and said to Li Wan, "Mom, I'll go and see Second Uncle."

At this time Li Wan had thought of another matter, Wen Yan nodded absent-mindedly, and said: "You go, I can't go, just say hello for me."

Jia Lan agreed to go.

Li Wanfang looked at Wutong and said in a deep voice, "How is Jin Chuan'er?"

Indus whispered: "Sister Jin Chuan'er has committed suicide by jumping into a well."

Su Yun and the others were all taken aback when they heard the words, and hurriedly said: "What did you say? Why did you jump into the well when you were fine?"

Wutong looked around for a while, seeing that there was no one else in the room, Fang lowered his voice and said: "The outside only knows that the wife said that sister Jin Chuan'er broke something important and kicked her out. Jin Chuan'er couldn't think about it for a while. Just throw into the well.

However, that day I happened to hear Sister Caiyun talking to Third Master Huan in my wife's room, and I realized that it was two days ago that Second Master Bao and Sister Jin Chuan'er were flirting with his wife... and angered his wife, and that's why I was kicked out. out. "After that, he talked about what happened in the mansion these days.

Li Wan frowned, and sighed deeply, feeling a little regretful in his heart. During this period of time, he spent too much time at his mother's house, so he forgot about Jin Chuan'er. If he had thought of this earlier, maybe he could have Save a life.

The girls in Daoxiang Village and Jin Chuan'er often communicate with each other. Although they are not as close as sisters, they often joke together on weekdays, so they can't help but feel sad at this time.

Suyun said with red eyes: "Jin Chuan'er is really frivolous, and she often jokes with Baoyu and eats her mouth on weekdays."

The rouge on her face, but no matter what she did, she would not be guilty of death, so how did she end up like this! "

Among the crowd, only Biyue and Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er sisters have the best friendship. Hearing this, she couldn't help crying. When she thought of it, she heard Wutong say that Xiren got Mrs. Wang's favor. According to the rules, only aunts and women are eligible for two taels of silver per month, so the attackers are almost considered to have passed the bright road in front of Mrs. Wang.

Thinking of Jin Chuan'er who died unjustly, Bi Yue felt even more uncomfortable, and said with a sneer: "Although Jin Chuan'er is frivolous, he has never been more polite. Go, I thought she was an honest person, but I don't know that the honest person in her eyes has already climbed into the master's bed!"

In the past few years, the story of Xiren and Baoyu has been spread behind the scenes, but it's just hidden from Mrs. Wang and Jiamu.

Suyun was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked around for a while, seeing no one else, Fang heaved a sigh of relief, hurriedly hit her, and said: "You are going to die! These words are also said by a girl like you?!"

Bi Yue curled her lips, turned her head away and remained silent.

Knowing that she was still complaining about Jin Chuan'er, Li Wan felt a little resentful towards Mrs. Wang, and said with a frown, "I know you are sad, but it's fine to say this in our room, don't go out and talk about it, and carefully pass it to your wife's ears." inside."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and told Suyun: "Go and get 50 taels of silver, and quietly send someone to send it to Yu Chuan'er."

Suyun agreed, and then gently pushed Biyue.

Bi Yue had already wiped away her tears, and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I understand the importance, I was just confused for a while, I'd better give the money to me."

Li Wan glanced at her, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, you just know what's in your mind."

At that moment, Suyun dragged Biyue out, Li Wan washed and changed clothes, and lay on the couch in a trance.

In fact, Mrs. Wang cannot be completely blamed for Jin Chuan'er's death. Jin Chuan'er not only flirted with Baoyu in front of her, but also asked Baoyu to get Jia Huan and Caiyun, so as to instigate a quarrel between the brothers.

Besides, although Mrs. Wang was furious, but thinking of Baoyu's reputation, she only said to the outside world that Jin Chuan'er broke an important thing, and then she drove out, without revealing the real reason.

Comparing my heart to my heart, as a mother, it can't be too much to deal with it like this.

I think Qianxue was kicked out back then, and she is still alive and well.

Although Mrs. Wang was responsible for Jin Chuan'er's death, the bottom line is that Baoyu acted frivolously and frivolously, and that she herself was careless and high-spirited, so she fell into the sky.

After the end, he couldn't bear the strange eyes of everyone, so he couldn't think about it and committed short-sightedness.

As for Xiren, Li Wan doesn't like to comment on it. Although she doesn't like Xiren's actions, no matter what, what she does is really for the good of Baoyu. Besides, everyone has selfish intentions. It is understandable for her to plan for her own future. , can not say she is bad.

I just thought Mrs. Wang looked down on Qingwen, and was worried that she would seduce Baoyu. However, Qingwen was innocent until her death. It's a bit ironic.

The author has something to say: I always felt that Mrs. Wang could not be blamed for Jin Chuan'er's death. Baoyu was the instigator, and Jin Chuan'er herself was not innocent. , and even instigated Baoyu to take Jia Huan and Caiyun, causing the brothers to discord, this is the rhythm of courting death.

Besides, Mrs. Wang just kicked her out without thinking that she would commit suicide, so it would be inappropriate to place all the responsibility on her.
