Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Fortunately, this time it was just a little cold, and Li Wan took good care of himself on a daily basis, and his diet was limited, so it wasn't a serious problem, he got better after taking two doses of medicine, but he still had some headaches, so he just stayed indoors.

On this day, Mrs. Wang sent someone to pick up Jia Lan early in the morning. The child was weak, and Li Wan was afraid that he would get sick, so he sent Jia Lan to Mrs. Wang for the past two days.

I took medicine for a while, washed up, and because I didn't go out, I didn't have much makeup. My hair was loosely tied up in a bun, pinned with a white jade hairpin, and I only wore a homely lotus-colored cross-collar jacket. The double-breasted skirts of blue satin with flowers are tied with an ivory white cotton satin skirt.

After tidying up and eating breakfast, Ping'er suddenly brought a small box filled with lacquer and said with a smile to Li Wan, "This is a ointment for Western headaches, called 'Yiferna', and it's from Fanbang. Although the name is a bit strange, the effect is very good. Our grandma often uses it. Hearing that grandma hurts, our grandma sent me to bring it to grandma. Our grandma originally wanted to visit in person. There are quite a few weddings and weddings, and there is really no time, let me sue my grandma."

Li Wan ordered Fu Ling to pick it up, and said with a smile to Ping'er: "Trouble her to think about it, thank you grandma for me." He also asked Ping'er to sit down and have tea, Ping'er smiled and said: "Thank you grandma for your kindness, but there is still something to do over there. Waiting, the mansion is going to distribute annual regulations again, this meeting is really busy, I will come to ask grandma for good tea when I have free time next time."

An'er moved out due to illness half a year ago, and soon passed away. When she was full of joy, she also begged Sister Feng's grace to let her out to be married.

Now Sister Feng has only two big girls, Le'er and Ping'er, among whom Ping'er is the most trusted. She calls the shots.

Li Wan also knew what was going on inside. Seeing that she insisted on this, it was not easy to force her to stay, so she immediately smiled and said: "Since that's the case, I don't want to keep you. I will come to sit and sit sometime when I have time."

Ping'er agreed to go.

Fu Ling took the scissors and cut off half of the plaster; Xia Zhu then asked Xia Zhu to find a piece of red satin corner and cut two round pieces with the size of a finger, roasted the medicine on the stove, and used a hairpin Pretty good.

Mei Xiang helped Li Wan stick them on the two suns, and showed her a target mirror, and said with a smile, "Grandma posted this so playfully."

Li Wan also found it interesting to watch it, and pressed the sun lightly, only to feel his head cool, as if

It didn't hurt as much as before, so I couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, it's better, this trouble is interesting."

Fu Ling put away the rest of the plaster, and said with a smile: "We used to look down on Fanbang, but in fact, the barbarians also have some good things, such as these Western medicines, Western glassware, and those Doro Well, gold and silver silk and satin, but there is money and nowhere to buy them."

Li Wan smiled slightly when he heard the words, and thought to himself, what are these things, the real good things have not been born yet, and who would have thought that the barbarians from the foreign countries in the eyes of the world today would stand on top of the world in the future.

After talking and joking for a while, a woman sent a message to get the annual regulations and new clothes. Everyone was very happy when they heard the words.

Li Wan still wears silver in February 20th, two big woolen clothes, a set of red gold dotted emerald head and face, and a plain feather satin cloak.The girls all have a set of clothes and two hairpin jewelry.

Li Wan looked at it briefly and ordered to put it away.

Now that the weather is extremely cold, Li Wan is unhappy and becomes more and more sluggish, so she asks Fu Ling to go to the study to find a book of travel notes, and leans on the fumigation cage, with a small azure-colored gold-woven blanket on her lap, reading it with gusto .

After watching a cup of tea, Xia Zhu came in and replied, "Grandma, Miss Lin is here.

Li Wan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Please come in quickly."

Not long after the girl opened the curtain, she saw Daiyu come in with a parrot whose name had been changed to Zijuan, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is safe today?"

Li Wan put down the scroll and gave up his seat with a smile, saying: "Thank you for remembering my sister, I'm much better now."

Seeing that Daiyu was wearing a lake-blue feather-satin cloak trimmed with fur, a Guanyin pocket, and deerskin boots on her feet, holding a small and exquisite enamel filigree hand stove in her hand, she asked, "Is it snowing outside? "

Everyone said: "The sky is cloudy, it hasn't set yet."

Zijuan waited for Daiyu to take off her cloak and Guanyin pocket, and saw that she was wearing a moon-white jacket that was probably new, and a lotus-colored pleated skirt with embroidered green onion and yellow flowers. It looks more and more fresh and elegant, elegant and refined.

Li Wan couldn't help frowning and said: "If it's cold today, why is my sister wearing such thin clothes, she should be wearing something big."

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's okay. I have a hand stove, and I'm wearing a big cloak outside. I don't feel comfortable wearing too much."

After all, Li Wan was a little worried, so he asked Daiyu to sit down on the smoker cage, and asked the girl to take a half-worn blue satin backrest to guide Daiyu, and said with a smile: "This smoker cage is actually warmer, let's sit talk about

talk. "

While talking, Xia Zhu brought hot tea up, the women brought a pear kang table, and Dan Ju led the little girls to arrange all kinds of delicate tea fruits.

Li Wan and Daiyu sat on the smoked cage and talked about their family life. Fuling Meixiang took Zijuan to sit in the warm pavilion, and drew flowers together to do needlework by the window, waiting for calls.

Daiyu saw the half-turned travel notes on the small kang table at a glance, and smiled at Li Wan: "Why does sister-in-law think of this?"

Li Wan put a plate of fragrant pickled cherries in front of Daiyu, and said with a smile, "It's all right anyway, just watching to pass the time."

I have been trapped in this back house for many years and cannot go out, and I can only find some entertainment in books.

Daiyu picked up a cherry and ate it, spit out the pit on the handkerchief, Fang smiled and said: "I still have some books from home, including a few volumes of travel notes, if my sister-in-law likes them, I will send them away when I get back. sent by someone."

The Lin family's collection of books is of course not ordinary. Li Wan was very happy, thanked her quickly, and then asked: "My sister has been here for a month, but she is still used to it? Is there anything missing?"

Daiyu smiled slightly, and said: "With my grandmother, aunts and sisters-in-law caring and caring, there is nothing missing."

Every day, she entertains Jia Mu's side, accompanied by Sanchun and others, and occasionally Baoyu makes fun of her, so her life is not very sad.

It's just that after all, they are under the fence of others, and there are many snobbish people in Jia's house. Seeing that Jia's mother loves Baoyu and Fengjie two, she even talks behind her back.

Thinking of the New Year's Day approaching, she was here alone, but her hometown was thousands of miles away, she couldn't go back even if she wanted to, and her father was cold and lonely, Daiyu couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Seeing her expression, Li Wan knew that she was thinking of her old father at home, fearing that she would be sad, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "I heard that my sister occasionally coughs a few times, but has the doctor taken any medicine?"

Daiyu also knew what she was thinking, so she put it aside and replied: "This is an old disease of mine. I have asked the imperial doctor to see it. It is said that it is caused by the deficiency of yin in the lungs and defenses. It needs to be taken care of, and nothing else can be done. That's all."

In the past few years, Li Wan has often read some medical books and knows a little bit about medical principles. After hearing the words and thinking about it, he ordered Danju to fetch two packs of high-quality bird's nests, and said to Daiyu: "This time, I will honor a few catties of high-quality bird's nests." , this bird's nest is the most nourishing yin and qi, my sister took it back and boiled it with silver choko and rock sugar every day, it is better than taking medicine."

Daiyu didn't refuse when she heard the words, she got up and thanked her, she pursed her lips with a smile, and said: "Today I missed my sister-in-law's good things again, every time I come here, I even eat and take, I don't know

Taoist thought I was here to rob. "

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and Li Wan couldn't help but pinch Daiyu's cheek lightly, and said with a smile: "It's really Miss Lin's clever mouth that makes people love it more than anyone else." Come."

Daiyu is a really lovable person, she is smart and smart, she has a clear mind, if she likes it, she likes it, if she dislikes it, she hates it, and she never cheats. If you treat her sincerely, she will treat you with sincerity.

Zijuan has only been serving Daiyu for a month, and now she is dead set. She is far less careful and appropriate than Xueyan, who has served Daiyu since she was a child.

But the more this is the case, the more people worry about her future. 360 days a year, the wind, the sword, the frost, and the sword are pressing against each other. This is the true portrayal of Sister Lin's second half of her life.

Now that Lin Ruhai is still alive, there is nothing to worry about. Once Lin Ruhai dies, one can imagine the misery and desolation in the future.

Although Li Wan was detained in the inner courtyard and was not allowed to go out, he had been paying attention to the trends in the court. Since the former crown prince was deposed and passed away, several princes had been fighting endlessly for the throne.

Although the first prince is not born by the empress, he still occupies the position of the eldest son; the third prince is born by the noble concubine, and has a good reputation as a virtuous corporal; The fifteenth prince is the youngest, but he is very favored, and the Zhen family is planning behind him, and there are many courtiers who support him.

The remaining six, nine, and twelve three princes died young, and the mother of the seven princes died young, and their parents did not show up.

These few princes have their own support, and they fought fiercely. They have attracted many ministers, and the temptation to follow the dragon's merits is too great. This year's affairs are already high, and the ministers of the court and China are all a little ready to move.

Most of the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is controlled by the Zhen family. Lin Ruhai, as the Lianghuai salt department, is in charge of the lifeline of the national treasury.

However, as a woman, she has been detained in the inner house all year round, and she is soft-spoken. She can't interfere with outside affairs at all, and can't change the fate of the Lin family and Jia's mansion.

Thinking of this, Li Wan felt a little gloomy.

Daiyu had a delicate mind, even though she was aware of it, she didn't know why, so she purposely told some naughty jokes to make her laugh.

Li Wan liked it more and more, concealed all the melancholy in his heart, and told some novel stories following Daiyu's words.

After having tea and chatting for a while, suddenly snowdrops began to fall from the sky, Daiyu took her leave and went back, and Li Wan personally delivered it to the door.

Because of something in his heart, Li Wan couldn't sleep well all night, and didn't want to get up early the next morning, only to see the outside covered in white,

There was snow half a foot deep on the ground. It turned out that it snowed heavily last night.

At this time, the snow has gradually decreased, but the few red plums in the courtyard are not afraid of the ice and snow. They are in full bloom in the cold, their color is like rouge, and their fragrance is deceiving Lan Hui.

Li Wan smelled this refreshing fragrance, looked at the world of ice, snow and glass, suddenly felt relieved, and put aside all the troubles in his mind.

Forget it, the horizontal and vertical soldiers came to block the water and cover it with soil, it's useless to worry about it now, it's better to live the current life happily.

After admiring the winter plums in the snow carefully, Li Wan was in a good mood, and turned his head to tell Fu Ling, "This flower is blooming well, you send someone to pick two, fill it with water and insert it, let's put a bottle in the house, Pick up two more good ones and send them to the old lady and his wife's house."

"I'll go in a while. It's just that it's cold and windy today, and grandma's body is just right. Why are you standing in the air?" Mei Xiang said as she took a cloak with lotus green satin and white fox fur and put it on her, and called Take Danju to pick plums.

Dan Ju agreed, and ordered the little girl to get the scissors, and went to the yard to cut off some excellent plum blossoms, and gave them to Li Wan for viewing.

Li Wan's flowers are only one foot high. Although they are not strong, but the flowers spit out rouge, and the fragrance deceives Lan Hui. It is interesting. I like it very much. , I filled it with water and inserted it myself, and ordered someone to send it to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.
