Evening Shaohua in the Red House

The next day was a rare and cool weather, Yingchun Tanchun and the three sisters had nothing to do, so they wanted to talk to Daiyu. When they walked to the garden, they heard a burst of warblers and swallows from a distance, which was quite lively.

Yingchun couldn't help being a little puzzled, and said, "What's going on over there? It's so lively."

Tanchun was also a little curious, and said with a smile, "Go and have a look."

The three of them turned the corner, and saw a group of people surrounded by colorful flowers, willows and green flowers under the wooden incense shed in the east, and Xiangling and others were also there.

Yingchun smiled at Xiuju: "After eating, there is no one to see. It turns out that I have come here to play tricks. What are you looking at?"

Xiuju smiled and said: "I just came here too. Miss Ying'er just chopped willow silk to weave flower baskets, and we are just learning."

When Tanchun and the others came over, they saw that Yinger was carrying a very exquisite fresh flower basket in her hand, in which were inserted some vines, emerald butterflies, roses, roses, a large red peony in the middle, and two lamp plants beside it. Thick and thin bamboo branches are tied with two grass-woven butterflies, trembling slightly in the wind, as if hovering and dancing on the flowers, lifelike.

Everyone praised.

Seeing her fingers flying up and down, Tan Chun weaved the handles of the flower basket in a short while, and couldn't help admiring, saying: "What a unique flower basket, the Taoist said that you are a Huang Yinger, you are really ingenious."

She has always liked these little things, and she held them in her hands for a while, and saw that the flower basket was so fresh and unique, she couldn't help liking it more and more, so she couldn't put it down, and said with a smile: "Give this to me. Handle palace fan, how about I exchange that with you?"

Ying'er hurriedly laughed and said, "Girl, don't kill me. It's just a small thing. It's not worth the girl to exchange for the palace fan. If you like it, you can take it."

Tanchun was very happy, and said with a smile, "Then thank you very much."

Seeing this, Yingchun Xichun was also very moved, and said with a smile: "Make up one for us too."

Ying'er fully agreed, and said with a smile: "This is easy, the girls like it, I will make up a few more in a while."

In the middle of the bustle, I saw Dan Ju coming from a distance, first greeted Sister Yingchun, Fang smiled at Xiangling: "Sister Xiangling is here, I was just about to ask her to help me tie some ties, My sister is busy right now? If you have time, come and take a look for me."

Hearing this, Xiangling quickly dropped the willow branch in her hand, stood up and said with a smile: "What's the matter? I'm stubborn here. I'll go with you right away."

Everyone heard that it was a netting, but they didn't care, they still surrounded Yingying.

Watch her weave flower baskets.

Xiangling followed Danju to Li Wan's courtyard, saw her go straight to the upper room, and said with a smile: "Didn't sister say to tie the knot? Where is the silk thread?"

Danju smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, grandma has something to say to you, you can come in and have a seat."

Xiangling didn't doubt that he was there, so she lifted the curtain and went in. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw an old woman with white hair looking at her with tears in her eyes. : "Why did grandma call me here?"

Li Wan said, "Sit down first." Asking someone to move an embroidered pier for her, Fang turned to look at Feng Shi, and asked, "Can you see clearly?"

As soon as Feng saw Xiangling, she recognized her. Tears were streaming down her face, and she said: "I don't think I'm mistaken, she is my daughter Yinglian. Although she looks better, she hasn't changed a lot. You can recognize it at a glance, and there is a bit of rouge between her eyebrows, the size of a grain of rice, which she brought from the womb."

After saying that, he got up tremblingly and walked to Xiangling, hugged her and cried loudly: "My poor daughter, I finally found you!"

Xiang Ling was at a loss, when she heard what Feng Shi said, she was stunned, looked at Feng Shi in a daze and said, "You say you are my mother?"

Holding her in her arms, Feng couldn't help crying, sobbing: "I am your mother! You are my daughter Zhen Yinglian. When you were three years old, the lanterns disappeared during the Lantern Festival. Mother has been looking for you for ten years!"

Although Xiangling doesn't remember her parents in her hometown, she still has some vague impressions of some things in her childhood. Hearing words like 'Lantern Festival' and 'Lantern Festival', her body trembled, and she subconsciously said: "Lantern! Lantern..."

Seeing her like this, Feng's heart felt like a knife was twisted, sobbing: "My poor daughter! I have suffered for you all these years."

After being dazed for a long time, Xiangling finally came to her senses, hugged Feng and burst into tears, "Mother! You are my mother!"

Everyone in the room wept, and Li Wan's eyes were slightly red, but he was extremely relieved, now that Xiangling's mother and daughter are reunited, they finally don't have to follow the original miserable fate, but how to let the Xue family release them is still a problem.

The mother and daughter cried for a while, and then slowly calmed down. Feng Shi wiped away tears, knelt down in front of Li Wan with a plop, and kowtowed: "Thank you grandma for your kindness and great virtue, for allowing our mother and daughter to meet again."

Li Wan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked someone to help him up, and said: "Come on, it's just a matter of raising your hands, and besides, Xiangling's identity is still in the Xue family, the most urgent thing now is to find a way to let the Xue family release him."

Hearing this, Xiangling also woke up from joy, and her heart sank immediately.

Feng's expression was resolute, and he gritted his teeth and said, "My Yinglian was kidnapped and sold, and she didn't sell herself into slavery voluntarily. If they refuse to let her go, I'll sue at the Yamen, or risk my life!"

Xiang Ling turned pale when she heard the words, hugged Feng Shi tightly with both hands, and sobbed: "Mother, I don't want anything to happen to you..."

Danju Xiazhu and others couldn't bear it when they saw it, they frowned and said, "Is there no way to make them release him willingly?"

Li Wan thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, it's not impossible. Jia Yucun judged the case randomly in order to flatter the Xue family. One point, if you move them with reason and affection, they may not be willing to let him go."

Only then did Feng know that Jia Yucun had sentenced her daughter's case back then, so she hurriedly asked the reason. After hearing what Xiang Ling said, she was shocked and angry, and said through gritted teeth: "That wolf-hearted thing in Jia Yucun, he and your father were best friends back then. My friend, because of his poor family, he often has to be helped by our family. When he went to Beijing for the exam, he didn't have any expenses. It was your father who gave him 50 taels of silver and winter clothes as expenses.

Back then he often came to our house for dinner and drinks, how could he not recognize you, I didn't expect him to be so ungrateful! "

After that, he held his daughter and cried again.

Xiangling also wept unceasingly.

Li Wan bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then said to Dan Ju: "You took Lady Zhen and Xiang Ling to the guest room to rest, their mother and daughter reunited after a long absence, they must have a lot of personal things to say."

After finishing speaking, he said to Feng Shi: "Miss Zhen, don't worry, I already have a plan for Xiangling's matter, you go and rest for a while, I have my own arrangements here, and I will send someone to call you later."

Feng was so grateful, she was both happy and worried last night, she tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep, now that she finally recognized her daughter, she was really relieved, at this moment she also felt exhausted, she pulled Xiang Ling and kowtowed, and then she went down .

Li Wan then called Danju over, and said, "Go to the Second Grandma's courtyard and ask her to help with something."

Danju understood, nodded, and hurried out.

Li Wan said to Xia Zhu again: "Go and invite Miss Bao to come and tell her that I have something important to discuss with her." Baochai is a sensible reader, and she is the only one who can persuade Aunt Xue and Xue Pan.

Xia Zhu hurriedly agreed, and went to invite Baochai as promised.

When Baochai came to the upper room, seeing that everyone looked at her with strange expressions, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but she just didn't know her face, and said with a smile to Li Wan: "Sister-in-law hastily sent someone to call me, what's the matter?" ?”

Plum

Wan asked her to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea, Fang said: "I do have a difficult matter to discuss with my sister."

After finishing speaking, he talked about Feng's search for a daughter and the reunion of Xiangling's mother and daughter, and finally said: "I know this is a bit sudden, but the lady of the Zhen family is really pitiful, and my aunt is always kind, why don't you let Xiangling go and let her go?" Their mother and daughter reunited.

What's more, Xiangling was originally kidnapped and sold. According to the laws of this dynasty, she can return to her original place of origin. If Lady Zhen puts all her eggs in one basket and asks the yamen to make the decision, if things get serious, I'm afraid Brother Pan's old case will be brought up again, which is not appropriate , so I called my sister to discuss. "

Baochai was startled immediately after hearing this, even though she was always very wise, she was also a little confused at this moment.

After a long time, Baochai came to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you sister-in-law for telling me, it is logical that their mother and daughter should be reunited, but my brother's temperament and sister-in-law also know that he provoked this whole lawsuit for Xiangling. I'm afraid he won't be willing to let her go.

That's it, I'll go back and discuss it with my mother, and ask my sister-in-law to tell the lady of the Zhen family, don't worry, we will naturally give her an answer after we have discussed it properly. "

Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Baochai was willing, he hurriedly said, "It's only natural."

After this happened, Baochai didn't want to gossip anymore, and hurried back to Lixiangyuan.

It happened that Mrs. Wang was chatting with Aunt Xue about the family affairs. Seeing that she looked anxious and worried, which was different from before, she couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, but what happened?"

Baochai took a glance and saw many girls and women were there, hesitated for a moment, screened back to the left and right, and then told about Xiangling.

Aunt Xue has never had any opinions. When she heard that Mrs. Feng was going to sue the officials, she panicked and asked anxiously, "This...what should I do?"

Baochai persuaded: "Xiangling's origin is not easy for people to know, and it involves brother's life lawsuit. Although the lawsuit has been settled now, it is a criminal evidence after all. It is not a common law to keep it like this. If it is overturned in the future When I came out, I didn't know what it was like.

Now that her mother is here, why doesn't mom let her go home now?First, it is a good thing to do good deeds, and second, it also eliminates future troubles. Even if the lawsuit is brought back in the future and there is no witness, there is no need to worry about my brother being implicated. "

Mrs. Wang nodded when she heard this, and said, "Baochai is right. Now that the other party's mother has found her, let her go. After all, a family like ours does not lack a girl or two."

She has always disliked romantic and beautiful people, not to mention Xue Pan killed someone for Xiangling, so she felt that Xiangling was a beauty.

I don't like it, I don't like it.

Aunt Xue hesitated a bit, and said: "You know Pan'er's temper, he has fought so many famines for Xiang Ling'er and me this year because Xiang Ling'er couldn't get it.

I thought that Xiangling looks good, behaves differently than other girls, and has a gentle and demure temperament. Almost all master girls can't match her, and I have promised that Pan'er will open Xiangling's face next year, and when the time comes Set up two tables of wine, Mingtang will be the housekeeper for him. "

Mrs. Wang frowned immediately when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Sister is also confused, not to mention Xiangling's life experience, even a real girl can't do it. Then she opened her face, so which family's daughter would be willing to marry her?

It's just a girl, and I'll buy another one in a better color for Pan'er tomorrow, so why keep such a criminal evidence by my side. "

Aunt Xue's face was full of sadness, and she said with tears: "That said, but my sister also knows that evil nature, if we release Xiangling privately, there will be a catastrophe."

Just now Baochai said that it is not good for Baochai to take over the house, so he hurriedly said: "Although my brother is messing around, he has always been filial to his mother. Let's talk to him carefully, and he may not refuse."

Aunt Xue was still a little hesitant, but at this moment, a girl came to send a message, saying that the old lady asked the aunt to talk.

The three of them were slightly startled, Mrs. Wang asked suspiciously: "What is the old lady calling for at this time, could it be because of Xiangling's business?"

Baochai's thoughts changed, and she remembered that there were many girls in Li Wan's room just now, and she knew the temper of the servants in Jia's mansion very well, and she was afraid that it had already spread. Thinking of this, she couldn't help frowning, and sighed: "This matter It's just that paper can't cover fire, and it won't last long, no matter whether it is true or not, Mom has to make a decision quickly."

Aunt Xue became more and more troubled when she heard the words, so she had to hide her sorrow, cleaned up a little, and then went to Jiamu's room.
