Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Not long after, the old woman brought the medicine, and Jia Lan checked it was correct, and handed it to Suyun, who had ordered someone to find out the Yinchozi that was used to decoct the medicine, and decocted it on the stove himself.

After taking the medicine, Li Wan's fever gradually subsided, and his spirit improved a lot, so everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Two days later, the weather cleared up and the landslide road under the mountain was cleared. Li Wan was half recovered by now, so she asked her maid to pack Jia Lan's luggage and go back to the city immediately.

However, Jia Lan was worried about her mother and didn't want to go back. She pursed her lips and said, "Mom's condition is still not recovering. A son should serve the left and right. How can he leave?"

Hearing this, Li Wan was very upset, patted his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine, I'll be fine after a few days of rest, but you, the Imperial College has strict rules, and you have already delayed a lot in the past few days." It's time for homework, so you can't delay any longer, and it's hard to explain to your husband, so go back quickly."

Seeing that Jia Lan still hesitated, Li Wan deliberately lowered his face, pretending to be angry and said, "Be good, or Mom will be unhappy."

Jia Lan had no choice but to agree: "Mom, I will take care of my health, and I will come to see you after I rest and take a bath."

Li Wan agreed with a smile, and asked Suyun to help pack her bags and bring some food.

After all, Jia Lan was still a little worried, so she called the maids and wives to give them careful instructions, and then went to Gu's house to prepare gifts, entrusted Mrs. Gu to take care of her, and then went back to the city worried.

Li Wan has always paid attention to maintenance, and his health has always been good. He rarely gets sick, and he recovers quickly when he gets sick, so this time he thought it was just a small cold and didn't take it seriously. The illness was more troublesome than ever before, coughing repeatedly, taking medicine for recuperation, it took half a month to recover, this is a later story.

But it is said that Jia Zhen and others have fulfilled their filial piety for three years and chose an auspicious day to remove their clothes. Because it is inconvenient to do a lot of things during the period of national filial piety, they only set up a few tables and invited their family to have a good time. It happens to be Jia Jing again on September [-] Mingshou, Jia Zhen reported to Jia's mother that she wanted to take Xichun back to Ningguo Mansion for a few days.

This is filial piety, and Mother Jia has no objection, so she agreed.

Although Xichun was full of reluctance, she had no choice but to go. She only wanted to stay for two days and then came back. But the next day after returning to the East Mansion, she heard some women talking about Jia Zhenjiarong and the second sister You and the third sister. The content is so fragrant and the words are so dirty, it is simply unbearable to listen to.

Xichun was shocked and angry

Shame, where are you still willing to live, immediately ask the maid to go into the painting color screen to pack up, and leave immediately.

When Youshi heard the news, he hurriedly brought someone over, and said: "What's wrong with the girl, she only stayed for a day and she wanted to go home, but the maids and women didn't take good care of them, did they offend you?"

Xichun was full of anger, but he couldn't say what he heard, and he could only endure it, and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with them, I don't want to live anymore."

Youshi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said: "This is stupid. Today is the old man's birthday. As a biological daughter, the girl, out of emotion and reason, will have to go back after today."

The other mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law also persuaded: "The girl is a serious lady in our house, how can she leave after two days, and it will be a joke to let outsiders know about it."

Who knows that Xichun is young, withdrawn by nature, no matter what others say, just gritted his teeth, and absolutely refused to stay. Seeing this, Youshi became more impatient, and said with patience: "What's wrong with the girl, it's just making me lose my temper." There has to be a reason for it, and we are confused for no reason."

At this time, Xichun lost her patience, and said with a sneer, "You don't have to say any more, not only will you not be staying today, but now that I'm older, it's inconvenient to come to your side. Besides, I've heard so many discussions recently, if I go again, I won't even I also compose."

Youshi was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Who dares to talk about what? What else is there to talk about? Who is the girl? Who are we? Since the girl heard people talk about us, she should ask him."

Xichun sneered and said: "It's good for you to ask me that! I'm a girl, so I can only hide from right and wrong, but I look for right and wrong, what kind of person have I become? Anyway, I have nothing to do with this mansion. If you have something to do in the future, don't tire me. .”

Hearing this, Youshi was angry and funny, because he said to the people in the underground: "It's strange that everyone says that the fourth girl is young and foolish, but I just don't believe it. You listen to these words for no reason, no reason, and no seriousness. It's really chilling. !"

Everyone persuaded: "The girl is young, so grandma should suffer a bit."

Xichun sneered and said, "Although I am young, I am not foolish! I am innocent and alone, why do you have to be so exhausted?"

You Shi had a disease in his heart and was afraid of saying these words; he heard that someone talked about it, and he was already ashamed and annoyed, but Xichun is a young girl's family, and in front of everyone, it is not easy to have a fit, so he endured it for a long time; After saying this, because he couldn't restrain himself, he blushed and asked: "Why did you get tired? You are tempered for no reason. I persuade you with good words, and you become more satisfied.

Just say the words.You are Miss Qianjin, we will not get close to you in the future!So please go, and take care of the young lady's reputation! "

Xichun sneered and said: "If you are really like this, you will save your tongue, and everyone will be clean!"

When You Shi heard this, she became more and more angry, but after all, she was a girl, no matter what, she couldn't seriously quarrel with her, so she had to endure the anger, and went straight forward without answering. ①

Xichun immediately asked the maidservant to take the burden, and took the car back to Rongfu.

Youshi was very angry, so he went to find Jia Zhen, told the story exactly, and said: "This situation is not a common policy. After all, the fourth girl is the lady of our Dongfu, but now she avoids us like snakes and scorpions. , on the contrary, he regards Xifu as his own home, and let outsiders know what it is like!"

Jia Zhen frowned, and said: "Sir girl has been a bit withdrawn since she was a child, and now she's getting older, it's not normal to keep it like this, she's going to make trouble in the end, anyway, she's fifteen, you and The old lady discusses, picks someone she knows well, and hires the fourth girl."

You Shi bowed his head and said nothing for a long time, "Why didn't I say that, you know the temper of the fourth girl, seeing me today, the nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, how dare you be her master."

Jia Zhen sneered and said: "Eldest sister-in-law is the mother, can't we still be her masters? You just look at each other, and you don't need any rich or noble people. Good people don't look down on Si Yatou's temper, and her family background and character are not bad. Forget it. Tomorrow, if you spot someone, just go back to the old lady, after all, it's a girl from our East Mansion, so why not stay in the West Mansion for the rest of your life?"

Youshi had no choice but to agree, but after thinking about it all night, there was no way out, so he went to Sister Feng for advice the next day.

Sister Feng knew that Xichun had a withdrawn temper, so she didn't want to provoke such embarrassment, so she hurriedly persuaded: "I advise you not to touch this problem, it's not that you don't know fourth sister's temper, she is the most lonely, and there is only one in the whole house. You can still listen to what old ladies say, why bother asking for nothing."

Hearing this, Youshi sighed, and said: "That being said, it's just that the fourth girl has grown up, and the boys will be married when they grow up, and the girls will be married when they grow up. You can't stay at home forever as an old girl."

Sister Feng knew that Youshi was timid and fearful, so she insisted on doing so this time, and she knew in her heart that it was probably Jia Zhen's intention, so she couldn't persuade her anymore. , who knows what kind of light

Therefore, he said with a smile: "I have been taking care of Zhige all this year. I rarely go out to socialize, and I am not very familiar with the situation of each family. Now that the country is filial piety and no banquets are allowed, according to my idea, it is better to look for it secretly. Feeling, if there is a match, then slowly inquire more clearly, and then make a fuss after leaving the country."

After hearing this, Youshi felt reasonable, nodded and said, "You're right, let's do it this way." After sitting for a while, he said gossip about home affairs and other things, and then went back.

Knowing Jia Zhen's character, Ping'er was very worried about Xichun. After Youshi left, he quietly sent a little girl to tell Xichun to be more careful.

Ruhua and the others panicked when they found out, and said in a daze, "What should I do, the grandpa and grandma are angry this time, who knows what kind of family they will find for the girl."

Xichun didn't care, and said with a sneer: "Whoever he falls in love with, I'll be finished if I don't marry anyway, even if I'm forced to cut my hair and become a sister-in-law! — Otherwise, I'll die!"

After hearing this, everyone lost their souls and hurriedly said: "My girl, you can't talk nonsense!"

Xichun smiled coldly, she had made up her mind, she stopped talking, and took a Buddhist scripture to read.

The servants of Jia's mansion have always been talkative, and within two days, the news about the East mansion was spreading, even Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang knew about it.

Jia's mother was very angry, and secretly scolded Jia Zhen and his son for acting absurdly. However, Jia Zhen is the head of the Jia family, and no one else can control him anyway. It's not easy to control women in the inner house, so they can only pretend that they don't know.

After this incident, Xichun became more and more withdrawn. Except for morning and evening meditation, the rest of the time was not reading in her own room, or going to Changcui Nunnery to discuss scriptures with Miaoyu. I dare not tell Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang that they know.

On this day, Baochai and Sister Feng made an appointment to comfort Xichun because they were afraid that Xichun would be uncomfortable in the near future.When I walked to the courtyard, I saw that there was no sound in the courtyard, only a few women were sweeping the fallen leaves. Baochai looked through the screen window and saw Xichun wearing a lotus-colored flowered jacket and a white silk skirt, leaning on the bed reading a book.

A little girl saw the two of them a long time ago, so she hurriedly invited Ann, and opened the curtain to report: "Second Grandma Lian and Second Grandma Bao are here."

Xichun frowned slightly when she heard the words, so she put down her book and got up to greet her.

Sitting down to watch tea for a while, Baochai smiled and said, "What book is Fourth Sister reading, so engrossed?"

After all, I picked up Xichun's book and looked at it, but it was a

Sister Feng was illiterate and didn't think too much about "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Vows Sutra", but Baochai was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's very good, why does my sister think of this? These Taoist scriptures are the most moving. Sexuality, it’s just recalcitrant if you look at it occasionally, but you can’t read it as a serious book, if you seriously talk about these crazy words tomorrow, if you keep this idea, you can’t be saved.”

Xichun smiled lightly when she heard the words, and said: "What's wrong, I read in this scriptures that there is the ultimate principle of life. Life in this world is all about cultivation, and fate is determined by God. In this life, I have given birth to a daughter, so I can’t express any grievances and troubles. Instead of attaching all my joys and sorrows to others, it is better to practice meditation. alright."

Baochai was startled when he heard this, but he couldn't persuade him for a while.

Although Sister Feng didn't understand these tricks, she could understand the words of being a monk and cultivator. She immediately changed her face and said hastily: "Sister, don't say that again! The old lady must be angry when she hears it. My sister has such a character. In the future, I will marry a good son-in-law and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth..."

Before Xichun could finish speaking, she blushed and said in a cold voice, "If Second Sister-in-law says such things again, don't blame me for getting annoyed!"

Baochai didn't like it when she heard this, so she gave Sister Feng a wink and told her to go.Sister Feng felt that she had made a slip of the tongue, smiled coyly, and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

When the two came out, Baochai quietly called Ruhua out, and asked, "How are you girls these days? Do you often read those scriptures?"

Ruhua said with a sad face: "Grandma doesn't know, our girl has changed her temperament since she came back from Dongfu. She either sits in meditation or looks for Master Miaoyu to discuss scriptures. These days, she doesn't even eat much meat. No matter how much we persuade her, I can't help it." , and dare not let the old lady know, I beg the two grandmas to think of a way."

Baochai and Sister Feng looked at each other, they were secretly startled, and hurriedly said: "We will think of a way about this matter, you should watch more, and persuade you girls when you have free time, come back to us if you have anything to do."

Entering the painting hurriedly agreed.

The two left Nuanxiangwu, Baochai pondered for a moment, and said: "This matter should not be publicized, the old lady will be angry when she finds out, besides, the fourth younger sister has a temperament, it would be counterproductive to force her not to read, now I just tell my wife slowly. Let me persuade you slowly first, maybe you can turn around."

Sister Feng agreed, and now they went to Mrs. Wang's room, and Sister Feng will cherish the spring.

When the matter was over, he said: "Ma'am, be careful, don't make trouble."

Mrs. Wang frowned when she heard this, and said: "This child is also confused, how could he come up with such an idea properly!"

I didn't dare to let Jiamu know for a while, so I just kept it a secret, and often went to persuade Baochai and Fengjie in private.Unexpectedly, Xichun has made up her mind, and no one can persuade her.

Mrs. Wang couldn't bear it, and she was afraid that something was wrong, so she went to tell Jia Mu quietly, "The fourth girl's temper became more and more withdrawn because of the incident in the East Mansion. , we have been persuading for a long time but it doesn't work, and we dare not return to the old lady."

Jia Mu couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said: "Fourth girl is also confused, how can it be so troublesome!" She called Youshi to talk about it, and told her to tell Xichun, "Girls like us never become monks. Reason, you go to persuade and persuade. Talk to the fourth girl, just say what I say, and quickly put away these silly thoughts, if this is necessary, you will not be a girl of our family. "

Youshi panicked when he heard this, and went to try to persuade him, but he didn't know that it would be better if Youshi didn't persuade him. Once he persuaded, Xichun became more determined, saying: "If you are a girl, you will never be able to stay at home for the rest of your life! Instead of asking the old lady to worry about it , why don't you just treat me as dead, let me out of the house, and live a clean life, just love me!"

Youshi couldn't, so he had to go back to Jiamu.

Mother Jia might as well cherish the fact that Chun is so obsessed with obsession, that she can't be beaten or scolded, she lost her mind for a while.

Seeing this, Sister Feng quietly discussed with Mrs. Jia Muwang: "Now that the fourth younger sister looks like this, I can't listen to persuasion. In my opinion, it's better to send her to live in Cuiwei Villa for a few days, to relax and avoid it." Gossip; secondly, sister-in-law and sister Lin are both there, so you can persuade her."

After hearing this, Jia's mother pondered for a moment, and said: "The fourth girl was taught by Zhu'er's daughter-in-law since she was a child, and she has always believed in her. I think her sister-in-law's words may be able to listen to her."

Mrs. Wang has no objection to this, the current situation in the Ning Mansion is too outrageous, it's better to avoid the limelight.

At that moment, Jia's mother ordered to go down, to pack up the carriages and horses, and send Xichun to Xishan Biezhuang.

This room Li Wan didn't know about the changes in the mansion, and was discussing with Jia Lan about thanking Shen Yi, "Thanks to Mr. Shen this time, we should also thank him in a good way. I just don't know what Mr. Shen likes in daily life? Calligraphy and painting or calligraphy? "

She wanted to send something to express her gratitude, and logically doing some sewing by herself would be the best way to express her heart, but she and Shen

There is a difference between Yi and men, and the Shen family does not have a mistress, so it is impossible to give these, so the only way to give them is antique calligraphy and paintings.

Jia Lan laughed and said: "Shen's family does not lack these, besides, sir and I are not outsiders, so giving such a valuable thing would be regarded as a gift. In my opinion, it is better to send some drinks and food."

Li Wan thought about it for a while, and asked Jia Lan: "I wonder what Mr. Shen likes to eat on weekdays?"

Jia Lan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Sir, I don't like anything else. He usually likes good wine. As for food, just make more soft and sweet pastries."

Li Wan didn't expect that such a romantic and unrestrained person like Shen Yi would like sweets, so he couldn't help laughing for a while, and said with a smile: "This is easy, I will ask the girls to make some snacks tomorrow, and you can take them with you tomorrow. The peach blossom wine brewed years ago has been buried under the peach tree and has not been drunk. Although it is not worth anything, it is more or less a piece of our heart, you go dig two jars and send them to Mr. Shen together."

Jia Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Why did I forget this, I'll get it now!" After saying that, she hurried out.

It turned out that this peach blossom wine was made by Li Wan and Jia Lan on a whim five years ago. Unexpectedly, the taste after brewing was very good. Even people like Jia Zheng who are not good at wine like it very much.

There were only ten jars of this wine, Li Wan was not good at wine, Jia Lan was young, so he didn't drink much, and only opened one jar during festivals, and the rest had been buried under the roots of the peach blossom tree. Now, after five years, the taste The more mellow and thick it is, it would be a good thing to give as a gift.
