Evening Shaohua in the Red House

In the upper room, Jia Mu sat upright, suppressed her smile, and looked at everyone in the room with a serious face: "How do you all serve, Zhu'er daughter-in-law was fine yesterday, why did she suddenly become so ill?"

When everyone heard the words, they knelt down with a plop, lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Mother Jia couldn't help getting angrier: "Why don't you talk anymore?!"

Seeing Mother Jia's anger, everyone didn't dare to hide any more, and hurriedly replied: "Old lady, this is all caused by Wang Xing's family and Grandma Zhang. Grandma suddenly vomited blood and fainted because she was angry and hurt for a while."

Sister Feng was taken aback when she heard the words, and secretly thought that it was not good, how could these two people be involved.

It turned out that this nanny was originally the daughter of Jia Mu's housekeeper, but she was betrothed by grace to the steward of Jia Mu's farm. Within a year, she gave birth to a son. Jia Zhu happened to be born. She was assigned to be Jia Zhu's nanny, and she was retired a few years ago.

But Wang Xing's family is Mrs. Wang's accompanying room, the man is the steward of the mansion, and his daughter Cuiyun is Jia Zhu's housemate, so she is quite respectable in the mansion.

Mrs. Wang lost her beloved son. She was also seriously ill before, and she has not recovered yet. Today she was tired again, and now she felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and aches all over her body. She pressed her throbbing forehead and said: "This What's the relationship with Wang Xing's family? What's going on?"

A woman glanced cautiously at Mrs. Wang, and said in a low voice: "It's Wang Xing's family who gossips with Grandma Zhang, and Grandma accidentally overheard her, and that's why... she got annoyed."

Mother Jia was also a little confused when she was angry, "Zhu'er daughter-in-law has always been magnanimous, she won't get angry when she is idle, what kind of words would make her vomit blood?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak first.

Seeing that all the maids and women were hesitant to speak, Jia Mu knew that there must be something hidden in it. She paused on her crutches and said angrily, "If you don't tell the truth at this time, you still want to hide it?"

Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to caress Jiamu's back, and persuaded: "Old lady, take care of yourself." Turning her head to look at the crowd, she cursed: "You stupid thing, why don't you explain it honestly!"

A girl in a moon-white satin jacket raised her head and glanced at the crowd, and suddenly came out of the crowd, kowtowed heavily, and said with tears in her eyes, "My servant, I only ask the old lady, the lady is the master of my grandma!"

Mother Jia was startled, and recognized that it was Mei Xiang, the eldest girl brought by Li Wan's mother's family, and said, "Mei Xiang, tell me clearly, what happened?"

thing? "

Mei Xiang wiped away her tears and said: "When I came back from Tiekan Temple yesterday, grandma felt a little uncomfortable. We wanted to invite the doctor to come and have a look, but grandma didn't allow it. She just said that she was tired. We just thought it was grandma who was sad. It was too much, and I couldn't take it easy for a while, so I took a rest after serving my grandma.

Unexpectedly, grandma said that she was dizzy when she got up this morning, and we were so panicked that we hurriedly sent someone to invite the imperial physician. You might as well hear Zhang Nai and Aunt Wang muttering under the window, saying that our grandma is delicate and makes a big fuss, and that Lan Geer was born On the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, maybe it was the reincarnation of the evil spirit, which ordered the father to be hardened and made the uncle tired.

When grandma heard this in the house, she was angry, anxious and sad, and spurted bright red blood on the spot, and she couldn't stand up, and fell to the ground. We helped grandma to the kang, and hurriedly sent someone to tell Mrs. "

It turned out that Li Wan gave birth to a son at full term a few months ago. Jia Zhu was still alive at that time. After reporting to Jia Zheng, he personally named his son Jia Lan. He was a new father and loved his son very much. The grandson does not have the habit of holding children, and he often hugs and teases his son after studying hard, and loves him very much.

Others in the house were not as happy as Jia Zhu, but rather shy away. It turned out that Jia Lansheng's life was not very good, but it happened to be July [-]th.

July has always been called the ghost month. Since ancient times, there has been a custom of offering sacrifices to Pudu in July.Folks will worship on the first day, second day, No.15 day and last day of July ghost month.

According to legend, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the day when the gates of ghosts are opened and all ghosts come to the world of heaven.

People at that time believed in ghosts and gods. Ever since Jia Lan was born, there had been some murmurs in the house that Mrs. Wang had always believed in Buddhism, and she was even more taboo about these things. Therefore, her love for her grandson also decreased a little, and it was always indifferent on weekdays.

It didn't take long for Jia Zhu to fail in the scientific examination, and then died of a serious illness. Everyone in the Jia family talked secretly, saying that Jia Lan's fate was not good, and Jia Zhu died because of restraint.

The people in Li Wan's courtyard naturally also heard these words, but no one dared to tell the master.

There are nearly a thousand servants in Jia's mansion, most of them are the sons of the family in the mansion, and they are closely related to each other, and they are intertwined. Many things are kept secret, and many of them are elders who have served the masters of the older generation. Even Mrs. Wang can't move easily.

It is customary in Jia's mansion that older mothers who have served their masters are more respectable than younger masters. Nanny Zhang served Jia's mother in the early years, and later became Jia Zhu's nurse. She thought she was decent. But come in and have a look every now and then.

It's just that she is getting old now, and the man left a few years ago, and her only son is gone again.

She eats too much and is lazy, and the family eats wine and gambles all day long. As time goes by, Nanny Zhang's temper becomes a bit sloppy, and her mouth is broken, so everyone refuses to talk to her.

In addition, yesterday just came back from the funeral, everyone was exhausted, Li Wan was ill again, no one had the time to take care of her, so they got impatient after a few perfunctory words, Zhang Nanny was angry and ashamed, thinking of Jia Zhu when she was there She secretly hated Li Wan for not giving her face.

Coincidentally, Wang Xing's family also came to see her daughter Cuiyun today, thinking that Jia Zhu had gone, and her daughter's happy days of being an aunt and enjoying the glory and wealth were gone, thinking of the rumors about Jia Lanke's father in the mansion, she felt very dissatisfied, and her heart Mrs. Zhiwang doesn't like Li Wan's mother and son, so she doesn't take this grandma seriously.

When the two met one place, they muttered to each other, but Li Wan caught him right.

After Mei Xiang finished speaking, the room was silent, and all the girls and women lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Jia Mu was so angry that she trembled all over, "This screwdriver is useless, how dare you arrange the master like this! Bring those two bastard old wives here!"

Jia Mu has always been generous, and she has never been so angry like this before. Everyone did not dare to be selfish, and hurriedly said: "Returning to the old lady, Zhang Momo and Wang Xing's family knew that there was trouble, and they had already hidden out before."

When Jia's mother heard the words, she became more and more angry, and ordered someone to call Lin Zhixiao's family and Lai everyone over.

Then he said to Mrs. Wang: "I'm getting old too. I think you are a careful person. Naturally, you take care of the affairs of the mansion. I don't have any theory. Who knows that you are the same as me!

As soon as Zhu'er disappeared, Zhu'er's wife and Lang Geer's orphans and widows were abused like this! "

Mrs. Wang stood up with her hands down, feeling bitter and astringent in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell the difference.

She did feel angry with Li Wan's mother and son because of the death of her eldest son, but Jia Lan was her own grandson anyway, and she was the serious master of the mansion. She never thought that Wang Xing's family would be so bold as to openly slander the master.

Seeing this, Sister Feng hurriedly persuaded: "Old lady calm down, I can't blame my wife for this matter, there have been many complicated things in the mansion in the past two months, when Brother Zhu left, my wife was hurt in her heart, and she was ill for more than half a month. Before he fully healed, the people below all kept secrets, how could they know these things."

Before the words were finished, Mother Jia understood that Jia Zhu passed away, Mrs. Wang sent a white-haired man to a black-haired man, she was already distraught, and there was no spiritual director. Yes, but I am too confused, and I have wronged you."

Mrs. Wang just dare not.

When Jia Mu saw her haggard face and haggard look, she couldn't help pity her and sighed: "Pearl!

Already gone, you should also take good care of your body. "

Mrs. Wang agreed in a low voice, thinking of Jia Zhu, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

Jia Zhu is her first child. She has been smart since she was a child. She was selected as a scholar at the age of 14, and she is very filial. Mrs. Wang looks like her eyes. Well, who would have thought that now that she is ill, how can she not be heartbroken.

After a while, members of Lin Zhixiao's family and everyone from Lai rushed over.

Jia Mu warned the two of them and said: "These women have served the master one by one. They are more decent than others, but they make troubles and make trouble every day. They are worse than others. I have experienced them all." I was thinking of taking a method, but I just met it today.

You don't need to bring them here, just go out and spread the word in a while, just say what I mean, Wang Xing's family hits forty boards, and Zhang Nanny reads that when she is old and nurses Pearl again, the board will be exempted , Drive them out together! "

Be careful!Let me know in the future that someone is gossiping, and I will not forgive them! "

The two were sweating profusely, they agreed repeatedly, and immediately took people out to cook.

Jia Mu went to the inner room to look at Li Wan again, and saw that she looked calm, so she was relieved, and asked the maids and women to take care of her, and Fang went back with the help of Sister Feng.

After this scene today, Mrs. Wang was exhausted. She beat everyone in the courtyard and went back.

The next day, Li Wan really woke up, but her body was still weak. Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang sent word to spare her morning and evening sleep, and let her recuperate.

One day, Li Wan woke up suddenly from a dream. The eldest girl Fu Ling was sitting in front of the window doing needlework. When she heard the movement, she dropped the work in her hand and rushed over. Jump: "Grandma, what's the matter? But you have a headache again?"

Li Wan was slightly taken aback, staring at her for a while, Fang gradually came to his senses, shook his head lightly and said: "It's nothing, it was just a nightmare, and I was a little confused for a while."

Fu Ling couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when she heard the words, and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "This dream is all reversed, so don't worry about it, grandma, it's time to take medicine at this time, I'll go see it." See if it's cooked."

After finishing speaking, he went out of the room and beckoned a seven or eight-year-old girl over, "Suyun, go to the waiter and ask Sister Meixiang to see if grandma's medicine is ready."

The little girl agreed and turned around.

Fu Ling went to the thermos and poured a cup of hot water again, and said to Li Wan, "Grandma, drink a cup of hot tea to calm down."

Plum

Wan took two sips of hot tea, gradually came back to his senses, and asked, "How long have I been asleep? What time is it now?"

Fu Ling smiled and said, "Grandma has been asleep for almost an hour, and it's the first day of the year."

While talking, she took a light blue jacket and put it on her, and said with a smile: "Grandma has already said that your head is itchy, but you are still very weak, so you can't wash your hair frequently, why don't I give it to you now?" Grate, Tongtong head?"

Li Wan hadn't washed her hair or bathed for three or four days, so she was really uncomfortable, but all the maids insisted that she couldn't touch water now, even hot water, at most she could use hot water to wipe her body, as for washing her hair and taking a bath, before her body recovered Without even thinking about it, she had already given up arguing with them, and nodded helplessly, "Okay."

Fu Ling helped her to sit down in front of the dressing table, Li Wan opened the dowry, and there was a one-foot-square glass mirror on the mirror box, which showed every detail of the person. Glass was a rare thing at this time, and it was only for rich and noble like the Jia family. Only people can use it.

Fu Ling took out the comb to help her untangle her hair, and sighed, "Grandma's hair used to be thick and shiny, but after being ill, it's a little bit worse."

I lost a lot, and I have to take good care of it in the future. "

Hearing this, Li Wan looked at the mirror, and the person in the mirror had long hair like waterfalls, bright eyes and white teeth, gentle and beautiful, except for a little pale complexion, his appearance was [-]% similar to her original appearance.

When she looked in the mirror for the first time two days ago, she was really taken aback. She didn't expect that she was similar to the original owner not only in name, but also in appearance.

It's just that she was often outdoors due to work in her previous life, her complexion was a healthy light honey color, and the facial features of the two were roughly the same. There is a gentle and elegant bookish atmosphere.

All this was too coincidental, she couldn't figure it out, could this be the reason for her time travel?
