Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Qian's on the side has been watching coldly. Seeing Mrs. Liu being scolded and not daring to speak, she couldn't help but gloat in her eyes. She had never been used to this sister-in-law before, and she was so arrogant as if she had read a few books. In the eyes of others, there is also today.

It turned out that Mrs. Liu came from a scholarly family, but Mrs. Qian was the niece of Mrs. Liu's natal family. Her father was just a small businessman. The color is good, but he can't read many big characters, his words and deeds are vulgar, and the two are sisters-in-law, so they can't be compared on a daily basis. Not being able to conceive again, Qian felt a lot more balanced in her heart.

Later, Mrs. Qian gave birth to a son, but Mrs. Liu was unable to have another child due to an injury. Liu Yuan's concubines only gave birth to two concubine daughters.

A few years ago, the eldest daughter, Qian Rong'er, entered the palace again to become a female historian, and Cheng Chong was promoted to a position and canonized as a concubine Li. However, Mrs. Liu's eldest daughter only married a scholar from a poor family. Flattering and flattering the third room, Qian became more and more arrogant, not taking people seriously.

However, Mrs. Liu was still indifferent, she never flattered her, and she didn't know what was blowing behind her back, so that Liu Yuan insisted on taking her back to the capital.

Last year, when the big house chose an heir, he refused to choose his own son, but Liu Shang, who wanted the second house, thought that the big house's huge family property would make the second house cheaper from now on, and Qian was so angry that his liver hurt, so this time he learned about Mrs. Liu The news of his nephew Liu Shang's engagement was hurriedly told to the old lady Liu, and the old lady was encouraged to come to the capital with added fuel and vinegar.

Mrs. Liu saw Qian's gloating smile from the corner of her eyes, and her eyes flashed. Since Qian Rong'er entered the palace three years ago and won the favor, Qian has become more publicized. Old lady Liu was not so confused in the early years. She flattered her a lot, and her temperament became more left-wing, but she is a daughter-in-law, so she couldn't argue with her mother-in-law, so she had to try her best to say: "Old lady, this matter has been settled with Rongfu, but now we suddenly go back on our word, Leaving aside the betrayal of faith, spreading the word and letting outsiders know, the reputation of our whole family will be lost.”

Mrs. Liu twisted her neck, twitched her lips, and made two snorts in her nostrils, and said with a sneer, "Since you know the matter is important, why did you decide on your own to make this marriage?! Anyway, you didn't change the gender post, but verbally. Promises don't count!"

I can't see Mrs. Liu getting angry

, Qian's heart was secretly happy, so she deliberately added fuel to the fire, and persuaded: "The old lady is right, and my sister-in-law is too impulsive. Now our Rong'er is favored in the palace, and Brother Shang has this as a concubine." Sister, who doesn't think highly of you? Why is a girl from a good family not good enough to marry a concubine?"

Mrs. Liu felt more and more touched when she heard this. She stared at Mrs. Liu and scolded: "After so many years, it's just that we haven't given birth to a boy for our family. Now you have to count your nephew. What do you care about your marriage?!"

When Mrs. Liu heard the words, her heart was bitter and unspeakable, she was wronged and sad, but she couldn't argue, she could only stand with her hands down, without saying a word.

Just as they were making a fuss, they suddenly heard a message from a girl outside: "The master and the uncle are back."

Liu Yuan is the elder brother-in-law, and as a sister-in-law, Qian should avoid it, but she finally waited until today's good show, how could she be willing to leave, the two of them are also cousins ​​who grew up since childhood, and the old lady is in Here, there is not much hindrance, so I just pretended to have nothing to do, still supporting Mrs. Liu, and my feet did not move.

Not long after, Liu Yuan and Liu Shang came over in a hurry, only to see the silence in the room, Mrs. Liu was supporting Mrs. Qian, and was accusing Mrs. Liu of all kinds of wrongs with a dark face.

The two rushed forward to say hello, the old lady Liu saw her son and eldest grandson, her face softened a little, she pulled Liu Shang to sit beside her, and greeted her warmly.

Seeing his wife's pale complexion, Liu Yuan couldn't help but secretly frowned when he thought of the old lady's angry reprimand heard outside the door, and quietly gave his wife a comforting wink. It's a cold day, the old lady wants to come to Beijing, why come by herself? It's a long journey, so what if something happens? Just ask my son to meet your old lady."

Mrs. Liu glanced at Liu Yuan, and said coldly: "I just think you have forgotten my mother, so you still remember it! Shang'er's marriage has already been settled by you, and you don't even know about me, my real grandmother." , do you still think of me as a mother?!"

Liu Yuan didn't like what he said, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "Mother's words are wrong to blame my son. She originally said that she would like to invite you to come to Beijing, but it's very cold today, and the journey is really hard, so she thought about waiting for the next year." In spring, I will pick you up to preside over the grand ceremony."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu's expression softened again, and she said coldly: "There's no need for a big gift, I didn't agree to this marriage, so hurry up and return it to me before it's too late!"

Liu Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and he hurriedly said:

"Our two families have already made an agreement on this matter. Now that we repent halfway through the marriage, wouldn't it be a breach of trust? Does this mean that my son will see others now?"

Mrs. Liu couldn't listen to it at all, and said with a sneer, "Don't coax me, I know that Shang'er is only a filial piety. Guangcai, we won’t let outsiders know about it, as long as we take good care of ourselves, we don’t have to worry about reputation at all.”

Liu Yuan sighed helplessly, the old lady's thinking was too simple, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, how can this matter be hidden?

Mrs. Liu saw Liu Yuan's distressed face, and Mrs. Liu just bowed her head like a log and said nothing, she was even more angry, leaning on her crutches and said in a hateful voice: "Anyway, I left the talk here today, I want to agree to this. It’s a matter of marriage, it’s serious to strangle me with a rope first!”

Liu Yuan was very troubled when he heard that the old lady had a hot temper when she was young, and she had never read any books. In the past few years, she has been pampered and said one thing, and her temper has become more and more left-handed. But it is his old mother, and he is also afraid that the old lady will get angry. At any rate, I had no choice but to comfort her with nice words, and then winked at Mrs. Liu, saying: "I'll talk to the old lady about myself, you go back and rest first."

Mrs. Liu glanced at the dark-faced old lady, agreed, turned around and left.

Old Mrs. Liu's face became darker, but she held back the anger in her heart because she was in the way of her son's face.

Liu Shang had been standing by the side with his hands down, and now they were leaving together. Seeing Mrs. Liu's pale complexion, he hurriedly said, "Mother, I'll take you back." house.

Mrs. Liu kept her head down in thought, and when she got back to the room, she asked Liu Shang to sit down and asked, "What do you think about this matter today? If you still like this marriage, I will try to persuade the old lady. "

Liu Shang is eighteen years old, with a good appearance and a very honest temperament. After hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "All according to my aunt's orders."

Mrs. Liu couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes. The reason why she tried her best to persuade her husband to choose this nephew was that he was honest and honest. I can't make up my mind when encountering such a big event.

Forget it, it seems that their family is unlucky, the third girl of the Jia family is a good one, this nephew is really not good enough.

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I will take care of this matter, you can go back to your room and rest."

Liu Shangnuo resigned.

Liu Yuan persuaded this room for a long time, but Mrs. Liu stubbornly insisted

Unwilling to change his mind, Liu Yuan really didn't want to break the contract, and couldn't stand the old lady's death. After all, Liu Yuan couldn't force his mother to death, and he could only obey because of his filial piety.

Although breaking the contract in the middle is harmful to reputation, the two evils are the lesser of the two. Moreover, even if this time they disobeyed their mother's order and reluctantly got married, the family would not be peaceful in the future. Suspicion, after all, is not a repentance.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Liu went to find Mrs. Feng first, and explained the reason.

Mrs. Feng couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said: "It was agreed before, but now it's half-way back, what should I say?"

Mrs. Liu smiled wryly and said, "I have no other choice. Our old lady insists on refusing to do so, looking for life and death every day. The master can't help it, so I can only agree."

Mrs. Feng also knew Mrs. Liu's disposition, she was an old lady in the market, she was used to making troubles, and she would seek death and life if she disagreed with her. It's no wonder Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu said apologetically, "You have been troubled this time." She originally wanted to get married so sincerely that she asked her best friend to be a middleman, but now she has made such a situation, she feels really guilty.

Mrs. Feng also sighed helplessly, and said: "I can't blame you for this matter, who told you to put up with such a mother-in-law, so let's go, let me go to Rongfu today to have a breath, and say slowly, you will formally do it tomorrow." Come to apologize."

After Mrs. Liu returned to the mansion that day, she ordered someone to prepare a generous gift in person. The next day, she went to Jia's mansion to make amends and returned the token. Fu, not good enough for the third girl."

When they got the news from Mrs. Feng yesterday, Mother Jia and the others were both shocked and angry. Unexpectedly, the other party broke the contract in the middle of the arranged marriage. This was a slap in the face for them!

Just looking at Mrs. Liu who was pale in front of her eyes, Mother Jia couldn't say anything more about blaming her, she just said flatly: "Ma'am, it's because our family doesn't have this blessing."

Jia's mother was very displeased, but in the past two years, Jia's mansion has been deteriorating, and it is no longer as grand as it used to be. Liu's family has concubine Li in the palace, so they still have to show some kindness.

Mrs. Liu also knew that the Jia family had been offended by this incident, so she smiled wryly, but she couldn't help it. This was because their family was rude. Although the mother and the others looked cold, they were still very polite and never rude. They secretly sighed in their hearts that they were worthy of a century-old family, and this kind of upbringing was not comparable to their explosive Xinrong family.

Li Wan, who had been standing behind Jia Mu, sighed secretly at this time,

Although the Rong Mansion is not as good as before, it has never been insulted like this. After all, the two families only made a verbal agreement, and they have not yet formally engaged. It is this kind of people, and now they know that even if the Liu family regrets and agrees again, Jiamu and others will not be willing.

Fortunately, the two families only made an agreement in private, and they haven't passed the clear road yet, and outsiders don't know about it. This has preserved Tanchun's reputation.

But even so, when he got angry once, Tanchun was very angry, he was ashamed and angry, very annoyed, but he still insisted on his face, just pretending that nothing happened.

Daiyu Yingchun and the others also got the news, and they were all concerned about Tanchun's grievances, but it was a matter of Tanchun's face, and the sisters couldn't persuade her explicitly, so they had to try to help her solve it secretly.

Daiyu specially set up a small banquet, and invited Baochai, Xiangyun, Tanchun, Baoqin and others to the banquet to enjoy the flowers. She pretended she didn't know about it, but just made Tanchun laugh and relieve her depression.

Yingchun was pregnant, and it was inconvenient to go out, so she sent a girl to bring a lot of food, and Sister Feng often came here with Zhige in her arms, so Tanchun reluctantly opened up.

However, her previous reforms inevitably offended many people. This time the marriage was humiliated, many people secretly clapped their hands and applauded. Although the servants and others tried their best to conceal it, the rules of Jia's house were loose, and those gossips could not be restrained.

Tanchun pretended nothing happened on the surface, but secretly cried several times.

But now that the end of the year is approaching, there are so many weddings and happy events at the families of relatives and friends. Sister Feng can't get away from taking care of Zhi Ge'er now. Tanchun has to cheer up and cook one by one. It's so easy to finish the day, and I can't sleep all night when I go back to my room. All kinds of gossip in the mansion recently made my heart feel more and more uncomfortable.The next day, I was lazy to eat and drink, and my body was hot.

The waiter and others woke up early to realize that Tan Chunshao's face was flushed, and they were frightened out of their wits, so they hurried to tell Mrs. Wang.

Li Wan just freshened up here, and was about to go to Mrs. Jiamu Wang's place to say hello later, when Biyue came hurriedly and said, "Grandma, go and have a look, Xiaocui from the third girl's room just came from here." However, it is said that since the third girl came back from the banquet yesterday, she had a fever just as soon as she fell asleep, and now the sick person is unconscious. Cuimo, the servant, was frightened and sent her to tell the wife."

Li Wan couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and said: "Why did he suddenly get sick? You and Wu Tong take some emergency pills and go to Qiushuangzhai to see him first. I will come after I put on my clothes."

After hearing this, Suyun left Biyue to help Li Wan get dressed, and hurried to Qiushuangzhai with Wutong.

Li Wan hastily tidied up

As soon as I walked out of the moon gate of Daoxiang Village, I saw Yuanyang, Hubo, Yuchuaner and others had come from there with Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and even Baochai Baoqin and others followed. Li Wan stopped when he saw it. waiting.When Mrs. Jia Muwang came to the front, they all greeted each other.

Jia's mother frowned and said, "The third girl was born strong and strong, and I never heard of her getting sick. She was fine when she ate dinner yesterday. Why did she become unconscious after a while? "

Li Wan said: "I just heard about it, and I don't know what's wrong with her. I was going to see her."

Mrs. Wang said: "I have sent someone to tell Lian'er to invite the imperial doctor. Let's go and see her first." Then they all came to Qiushuangzhai together.

I saw Tanchun sleeping in a tent, with a cold kerchief on his forehead, his face was as hot as rouge petals, but his lips were pale and bloodless.Cuimo, the servant, sat beside her and wept.

Mother Jia felt sad when she saw it, and touched her forehead with her hand, which looked like burning coals.Quickly asked: "Third girl, how do you feel?"

Hearing this, Tanchun barely opened his eyes, struggled to get up and said, "It's just a little bit cold, it's okay, old ladies don't have to worry."

Seeing that she looked like this, Jia's mother still didn't forget these things. She couldn't help but sighed, and quickly stretched out her hand to hold it down, and said, "good boy, just take care of your child and raise it. Don't talk about these empty etiquettes now. Your wife has already dismissed her." Lian'er has gone to ask the imperial physician."

Once in the outer room, Mrs. Wang frowned and asked the waiter and the others: "How do you serve the girl, and only report when you are sick?"

The waiter's eyes were red, and he wiped his tears and said: "Yesterday, the girl was sleepy. We just thought it was tired, so we didn't dare to ask more questions. We all went to bed. We got up early today, we have finished washing, and we are waiting to serve the girl." Freshen up, I called again outside the tent. The girl never answered, I just thought that the girl was very tired yesterday and wanted to sleep a little longer today, but we didn't get up when the hour came. That's why we felt something was wrong. When I opened the curtain to see, the girl was already sick, and that's how she looked."

Mrs. Wang was about to speak after hearing this, when Cuimo came in and said, "Second Lord Lian has brought the imperial doctor Wang here." Mrs. Wang took Li Wan, Baochai and others to avoid it.

Jia Mu ordered people to put down the curtain, covered Tanchun's hands with a handkerchief and put them outside the tent, and then ordered Wang Taiyi to come in.

After hearing this, Jia Lian hurriedly dragged Wang Taiyi in together.Please greet Jia Mu first.

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "Doctor, take a look at my granddaughter."

The mother-in-law hastily moved the scorpion and asked Wang Tai-doctor to sit down and diagnose the pulse.

Wang Tai

The doctor pleaded guilty, and sat sideways, not daring to look at it directly, took out the pulse diagnosis and gently checked the pulse of both hands, then got up and walked out.

In the outer room, Jia Lian hurriedly said, "Doctor Wang, how is the symptom? Does it matter?"

Doctor Wang nodded and said: "According to the pulse I have examined, it seems that the external wind and cold is a trivial matter, but the important thing is the internal injury of the seven emotions, the stagnation of the heart, and the rapid attack of the fire. The treatment should be to relieve the stagnation and smooth Qi .”

After finishing speaking, he picked up a pen and set up a party, handed it to Jia Lian and said: "Taking this dose of medicine can reduce the fever, then it will be fine. After a period of meditation and recuperation, it will be cured."

After hearing this, Jia Lian quickly took the prescription, thanked him repeatedly, and invited him out to have some tea.

Mother Jia and the others in this room heard this, and they understood in their hearts.Mrs. Wang also felt regretful in her heart, she agreed to the Liu family's marriage proposal in such a hasty way that she didn't agree with her, which led to the current situation, where she was not a human being inside and out; Tell all the nannies to wait for a good student to serve and guard.

The author has something to say: don’t worry everyone, Tanchun will have a better
