Evening Shaohua in the Red House

It turned out that the two women from the Ning Mansion came from outside, and they were ordered by Youshi to break some plum blossoms and send them to the banquet outside.

The two women only thought that everyone was at the banquet at this time, they didn't expect that there were still people in such a remote place, and they didn't have any scruples when they spoke.

One of them stomped his feet and rubbed his hands, and complained: "Our grandma is too unfair. She sent someone else when she had a good job, and she sent us to eat cold wind in such a cold weather!"

Another person also said: "No, I don't have time to rest today, my legs are almost broken, I am usually a slave, some people are roasting sunflower seeds in the house, but we have to run out against the northwest wind It's really bad luck to fold any flowers!"

The mother-in-law who spoke first naturally understood who she was talking about, and said with a sneer, "Don't complain, he is Grandma Rong's confidant, who dares not give face? Even our grandma has to give up three points."

The woman let out a "bah" when she heard the words, and said: "What kind of grandma, I think she is a vixen, look at her screwdriver, she is a witch, she is a daughter-in-law, but she is fooling around with her father-in-law behind her back, so I am not afraid." Grab it and soak it in the pig cage!"

The other person might as well say that she spoke so boldly, she was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly looked around, seeing that there was no one around, she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "You should also be more careful! These words can't be said indiscriminately." , if someone finds out, neither of us will have any good fruit to eat!"

But the old woman didn't think so, and said: "What are you afraid of? No one in the Mansion knows about their dirty tricks. If they dare to do it, they won't be able to blame anyone. Anyway, there is no one else here, so why don't you dare to say it!"

While speaking, several plum blossoms had already been broken down, and he kept muttering incessantly.

The other person was timid, seeing her open mouth, afraid of causing trouble, he hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about it, we have been out for a while, and it is cold outside, so go back quickly after you break the plum blossoms."

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly took the woman away.

The footsteps gradually faded away, the surroundings became quiet again, and the house was dead silent, only the crackling sound of charcoal burning remained.

Dan Ju had already lowered her head firmly, wishing she could become deaf and dumb now.

Li Wan also smiled wryly, he never thought that he came to admire the plum blossoms on a whim, and heard such a secret, which led to the embarrassing scene now.

Glancing at Xichun, she saw that her complexion was pale, she was biting her lower lip, her hands were tightly clutching the handkerchief, the knuckles were slightly white due to too much force.

Li Wan opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, forgive her for being quick-witted,

I don't know what to say in this embarrassing time.

Although she didn't go out, the two houses of Rongning and Ningxia were always close, and the servants of the two houses had no one to control them, so there were many people talking about it. Rumors about Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing's secret affairs had already spread, and she had also vaguely heard some of them.

Qin Keqing was born romantic and beautiful, and his beauty and charm are really rare. Jia Zhen is originally a lustful character, and she has always acted without scruples, so how can she bear it.

Jia Jing devoted himself to cultivating the Tao again, he didn't care about everything, Youshi was filling the house, he only knew how to flatter Jia Zhen to protect himself, he was not much better than Madam Xing, so how dare he persuade him.

Jia Zhen was left unchecked and acted more and more recklessly. Although Jia's mother was an elder, she was the great-uncle in the next room.

The Ningguo Mansion is now declared to the public, and outsiders say that only the two stone lions at the entrance are clean in this mansion.

Jia Zhen acted absurdly, she didn't care what other people said, and now Xichun, who is really embarrassed, has such a bastard brother, her reputation is almost ruined.

Although Xichun is a daughter of the Ning family, her mother left as soon as she fell into the grass, and her father also left home to practice Taoism. At that time, Jia Rong's mother had also passed away, and Youshi hadn't entered the family yet, so Xichun had no one to take care of her, so she was taken away. Rongfu Jiamu raised her in front of her.

All these years, Jia Zhen and You's treatment of Xichun was nothing more than face-saving, and they didn't take extra care of this younger sister.Although Rongning and Ningfu are like a family, Xichun is not a serious girl in Rongguo Mansion, and the cost of food and clothing is not much better than Tanchun and Yingchun.

Li Wan couldn't help sighing in his heart, Xichun is also pitiful, his mother died early, his father didn't care, and his brother is such a person, not to mention taking care of this girl, but it hurt her innocence, no wonder she will become such a cold person in the future Cold-hearted temper.

No one spoke for a while, Xichun twisted her veil tightly, her face turned red, then white, then red, the words of the two women just now were really shocking, she is also nine years old this year, although she doesn't understand it, she knows it This is an unspeakable scandal, and I feel ashamed and angry in my heart, secretly hating my elder brother for being ridiculous, for doing such shameless dirty things.

It's just that Jia Zhen is the eldest brother after all, she, as a younger sister, can't control him, not to mention she is a girl, such a sex thing is disgraceful, and she is her father-in-law and daughter-in-law, no matter how angry she is, But he couldn't say anything, so he gritted his teeth and swore that from now on, he would only treat the other party as dead, and determined not to set foot in Ningguo Mansion again in the future.

Fortunately, only the three of them are present today, she has always known the character of the elder sister-in-law, she is the most prudent and courteous,

She is considerate and considerate, and Dan Ju is her confidant maid, so there is no need to worry about spreading the word.

After a long time, Xichun gradually calmed down, raised her head and said to Li Wan, "Sister-in-law, let's go back."

Li Wan saw that although she looked gloomy, she finally calmed down, she was secretly relieved, and never mentioned the matter just now, and hurriedly said: "Alright, we have been out for some time, it is time to go back."

The two got up immediately, put on their cloaks and returned to the Champs.

Danju didn't dare to speak, and followed behind the two with her head down.

In this room, Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and others all finished watching the play, rinsed their mouths and cleaned their hands, and then said they were going to the plum forest, and saw the two of them coming towards them.

You Shi hurriedly smiled and said: "It can be regarded as coming back, I am about to send someone to look for you."

Jia Mu asked, "Where are you going? You haven't seen anyone for half a day, so why didn't you ask two people to follow?"

Li Wan thought about it, and was about to use some excuse to evade it, when Xi Chun suddenly said: "I went to Chunhui Garden to have a look, and I was sad for a while, so my sister-in-law sat there with me."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone fell silent.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Wan was puzzled, and after a while, he remembered that Chunhui Garden was the courtyard where Xichun's mother used to live, but after that lady passed away, Chunhui Garden has been sealed up and no one has ever lived in it. Pass.

Mother Jia took a look at Xichun, saw her eyes were reddish, she knew she had been crying, she couldn't help sighing: "Forget it, I'm sorry, I'd better go back and rest."

Xichun agreed in a low voice, pleaded guilty, and went back first holding the girl's hand.

Everyone only thought that she was emotionally touched by the scene for a while, and felt uncomfortable, so they stopped reasoning.

Back at the mansion, the next day Li Wan went to Dingxing, Jiamu's room. Daiyu Yingchun and others were there, but Xichun was not there, so she asked, "Why is fourth sister missing?"

Jia's mother said: "The fourth girl caught the cold yesterday, and she is a little uncomfortable this morning. I let her take care of her in the house. There is no need to come here to say hello."

Everyone said that Xichun was thinking of his mother who died young, so he was depressed for a while, and he was caught in the cold, so he sighed and didn't think about it.

But Li Wan knew it in his heart, and after finishing the province, he went to visit Xichun's room with Daiyu Baochai and others.

Xichun was leaning on the couch in a daze, wearing a homely lake blue ermine jacket and a white silk skirt, making her look even thinner.

Seeing her gloomy and lazy expression, Li Wan couldn't help sighing secretly, but this kind of thing is shameful, and it's hard to persuade, let alone say anything in front of everyone, just holding her hand and saying

: "Sister relaxes her mind, she will pass any hurdles, everything else is empty, only her body is what matters."

Xichun's heart was immediately touched when she heard the words, her eyes turned red, she hurriedly lowered her head, not wanting to be seen.

Li Wan sighed in his heart, she was still a little girl, but just encountered such a bad thing, she gently stroked her hair, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said softly: "Don't worry, you are not alone, you are not alone. There is an old lady and us, so take care of yourself and don't worry us."

Xichun choked with sobs and nodded, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand."

Everyone thought that Li Wan was comforting her for missing her mother, so they didn't think much about it, only Baochai, Daiyu and Tanchun were the most careful, and vaguely saw something was wrong.

Tanchun wondered if something happened to her in Ning Mansion yesterday, but Xichun has always been a bit lonely, and now she is in front of everyone, so it is even more difficult to ask more questions, so she just asks her to tell some interesting things, intending to explain her.

Baochai never does her own business and doesn't open her mouth. Although she guesses that there are other secrets, she just doesn't know.

Only Daiyu was worried, and when she returned, she was two steps behind everyone, walked up to Li Wan, and asked in a low voice while no one was paying attention: "Sister-in-law, fourth sister?"

Li Wan knew what she wanted to ask, so he squeezed her hand secretly, and shook his head slightly.

Daiyu Bingxue was smart, seeing Li Wan's serious expression, she couldn't help but feel chilled, and immediately stopped talking.

Back in the room, Li Wan was still in a bad mood, the maids and women didn't know why, only Danju knew the reason, but she couldn't persuade her, she just said: "Today I made a few new pastries , grandma, do you want to try it?"

Li Wan didn't have any appetite at this time, shook his head and said: "No need, you can send it to the old lady and the wife to taste, and then pick two that are easy to restrain and send them to the fourth girl's room."

Dan Ju agreed and went to cook by herself.

Li Wan then called Xia Zhu Biyun and others to come over and arrange the needlework gifts for Mrs. Jia Mu Wang next year, when he suddenly heard a word from outside: "Brother is back."

Li Wan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Come in quickly."

A girl had opened the scarlet felt curtain long ago, and Jia Lan was seen coming in surrounded by nurse girls.

A few women behind are carrying two boxes and cages.

Jia Lan greeted her mother and asked someone to carry the things up.

It turned out that Jia Lan brought back a lot of books this time, as well as things from Li's mother and Li Shouzhong's personal letter.

Li Wan didn't have time to look at things, so he pulled his son to him and looked at him carefully. Seeing that his complexion was rosy, he was not only not thinner, but also more energetic than before.

He stroked the top of his hair, and said with a smile: "How about at my grandfather's house? Are you still used to it?"

Jia Lan snuggled up to her mother obediently, and replied: "I'm still used to it. My grandparents, uncles and aunts treat the children very well. My grandfather even took me and my cousin out for two trips, and went to the temple fair. It was very lively. I just miss my mother a little."

He was not used to being away from his mother for such a long time for the first time.

Li Wan was heartbroken, smiled slightly, rubbed his little head, and said with a smile: "A good man has ambitions everywhere. Lan'er will always leave home when she grows up. How can she stay with her mother all the time?"

Xia Zhu and the others were packing up the things Jia Lan brought back, and they all laughed when they heard this: "No, my brother will be named on the gold list in the future, and he will have to leave the capital to be appointed as an official."

Jia Lan frowned when she heard this, put her arms around Li Wan's arm, and said unwillingly, "Then I'll take my mother to the office together."

Everyone laughed when they heard the childish words.

Knowing that everyone was laughing at him again, Jia Lan couldn't help but blushed, and was about to say something when she suddenly remembered something she had forgotten, so she hurriedly said to Li Wan, "Wait a minute, Mom, I have something for you."

After finishing speaking, he took out a red brocade box from a box on the table, handed it to Li Wan as if offering a treasure, and said with a blushing face, "I bought this in a store when I was shopping with my grandfather. Let's see if I like it or not." .”

Li Wan laughed and said, "What good thing is so mysterious?"

While talking, he opened the brocade box, he couldn't help being startled, it turned out that the brocade box contained a pair of red gold plum blossom bracelets inlaid with emeralds, the emeralds on the bracelets were not half the size of a small fingernail, but the quality was very good, the color was even Translucent, gathered into plum blossom style, delicate and unique.

Xia Zhu and the others also looked at it, and said in surprise: "What a delicate bracelet."

Li Wan wondered, "Where did you get this bracelet?"

Such a pair of bracelets is not cheap, gold, precious stones plus workmanship, at least it costs ten taels of silver.

Jia Lan smiled shyly, and said: "I saw it in a shop when I went out with my grandfather. I thought about my mother's birthday before, so I only sent a pair of birthday characters. This time it is rare to go out, so I can use it." I exchanged gold for silver and bought this pair of bracelets."

Everyone laughed and sighed: "My brother is still filial."

Li Wan was also very touched, the son finally didn't feel the pain in vain, rubbed his little head, and said with a smile: "Lan'er has really good eyesight, mom likes it very much."

After saying that, she immediately took off the jasper bracelets on her wrists, and put on this pair of bracelets. The emeralds set off her snow-white skin, making her look even more fair and delicate.

Crowd

Everyone said it was pretty, and Jia Lan liked it more and more, saying: "There are still a lot of exquisite jewelry in the shop, I will buy it for my mother next time."

Li Wan was moved and wanted to laugh, teasing him: "These are not cheap, if Lan'er buys more things for mother, you will spend all your money."

Jia Lan hurriedly said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm still feeling better."

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly asked the nanny to fetch a box, opened it and looked at it with Li Wan, and said: "These are all from my grandfather's house this time, given by my grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt, and a meeting gift from my grandfather's friends. "

Li Wan took a closer look, and saw that most of them were small and exquisite gold and silver lockets, some of which were Ruyi pen ingots, and some of which were the number one scholar. In addition, there was a purple jade pendant the size of a sparrow egg, warm and crystal clear, as delicate as fat, Not much sculpting, very quaint and atmospheric.

Purple jade is rare, and top-grade purple jade of such fineness is even rarer. This kind of jade pendant is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

Li Wan frowned slightly, and asked, "Lan'er, who gave you this jade pendant?"

The author has something to say: I personally feel that the relationship between Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen should be more voluntary than coercion.

Qin Keqing's verdict is that Qingtian Qinghai has a phantom body, and when love meets, she will be the master of adultery. From this, one can see that she is Jing Huan's younger sister who is in charge of Fengyue and love debts. It is also said in the song that Su Nie is always due to love.

Jia Zhen was affectionate, but Qing was affectionate, which led to this evil relationship. The treatment Jia Zhen gave after Ke Qing's death seemed a bit sincere, but there was more sex between the two than love.

Qin Keqing must have been forced at first, but gradually she became willing. Generally speaking, it should be a half-push and half-acceptance.

From Jia Rong's appearance, it can be seen that Jia Zhen's appearance should not be bad. At this time, she was only 40 to [-] years old, which is not very old.

However, she is also a person with a sense of shame and morality. While feeling that she is wrong, she can't control her sexual desires, and she finally escaped with death.
