The widowed mother of the red mansion

39. Chapter Thirty-ninth

Biyue heard Xichun's words before leaving, and said, "Fourth Miss, I don't know who she is like. The day before yesterday, she had a quarrel with Grandma You of Dongfu. She said some chilling things, which made Grandma You angry. Terrible. But she is a girl after all, and there is no reason to seriously argue with her."

Li Wan said: "I know your Grandma You's temperament, it must be that the fourth girl has gone too far."

Suyun laughed and said: "Just such a quiet lady who is afraid of trouble, but she likes our grandma very much. It can be seen that the living Bodhisattva really attracts my sister-in-law's liking."

Li Wan spat at Suyun and said, "It's getting more and more popular! Even your master and girl are making arrangements."

Everyone was laughing, but they saw the snow geese coming from Daiyu's room and said, "Aren't grandma busy now? Young lady invites you to come over."

Li Wan said: "No, I'm short of several clubs, so I must be punished. My dear Xueyan, just say that I'm not in good health."

Xueyan smiled and said: "Grandma, you are always the one who loves people the most. If you don't go, the girl won't give me fruit stuffed cakes."

Li Wan couldn't help laughing and said: "I have a lot of cakes here, I'll give you all of them, and you can block for me, will it work?"

Xueyan shook her head like a rattle: "No way, Sister Zijuan will definitely come and see, and by then all my snacks for a month will be in vain."

Everyone laughed at Xueyan's greediness, but she ignored it and dragged Li Wan over.

Before entering the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I could hear laughter from afar.Xueyan said loudly: "Grandma is here!"

Daiyu, Baoyu and others were busy to welcome her out. After everyone surrounded her and sat down, Daiyu said: "As the president, she takes the lead in being lazy and slippery. How do you punish her?"

Tanchun laughed and said, "Let my sister-in-law give each of us a copy of the flying snow silver ink."

Yingchun said: "Or send those small western enamel colorful mirrors to make amends."

Shi Xiangyun clapped his hands and said, "I want fruit! The Luo Han Guo in the yard behind my sister-in-law's house is the best."

Baoyu shook his head and said, "According to me, these are not rare things. Is there anything in sister-in-law's place? Why don't you just take us there and pick what you love, as long as you don't take Lange away. She is the rest." It definitely won't hurt."

Li Wan knew that everyone was deliberately making fun of her, and before Daiyu could open her mouth, she laughed and scolded: "A group of people who are up and down, they are here to punish me, they are taking advantage of the situation to rob! You don't have to say anything, sister, I know what you like something."

Daiyu tilted her head and asked: "I just said it in front of my sisters, just guess it, if you don't guess it, you will send everything that everyone asked before, so we will forgive you."

Li Wan said: "You must want my box of new books from the bookstore."

Everyone clapped their hands and said, "Wrong guess."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Everyone can prove this, I'm not relying on you. I see that the vegetables in your yard are almost ripe, and this food is nothing more than fresh food, so I want to punish you for picking a basket by yourself. Sister-in-law Liu went to clean up and make pots for everyone to eat."

Li Wan was a little surprised: "Our concubine Xiaoxiang, who doesn't eat fireworks, doesn't want books, but wants these food and drink. It's really strange."

Yingchun said: "That's what we said just now."

Daiyu laughed and said, "You think I'm that nerd? I'm not a high-ranking scholar. I've been in this beautiful and creamy land for a long time, so I'm bound to become a bit more vulgar."

Baoyu hurriedly said: "This is not vulgar. My sister-in-law picks vegetables by herself. It is not only novel and admirable, but also shows the joy of farming. Our family usually doesn't experience it, so it is a very elegant thing. How can it be vulgar?"

Xiangyun smiled and said: "I'm afraid that sister Lin is burning books and tearing skins and eating meat in the study, and the second elder brother will say that she is a real celebrity. It's common for us to drink tea in the pavilion. What can we compare to her!"

Daiyu glared at Baoyu, and Baoyu turned her head in embarrassment, and chatted with Tanchun and said something else.

Li Wan was so excited to watch, she might as well be dragged away by Yingchun and sit down, even being poured two small silver cups of wine.She was afraid of getting a fever in her stomach after drinking dry wine, so she asked Xiangyun: "What do you want to drink?

Xiangyun pursed her lips and smiled, picked some fried sparrow tongue from the plate on the table and let her eat it on Li Wan's dish: "The others are ordinary, this is fine." Daiyu saw it and said to her: "You And don't just eat that, I learned some duck feet from my aunt, and it's good to drink, you have a taste."

After all, she personally picked one and put it in front of Li Wan. After tasting it, Li Wan sincerely praised: "This is better than the one made by my aunt."

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's good to eat. You can take some back later. I have made a lot. But things are not free. Later, let's go to your place together. I will pick and choose what good books you have there." , tell your servant girl to remember everything, and I will borrow it back to read."

Li Wan said: "You also said that it wasn't my idea for the book! You don't need to borrow it, just take it. Sigh, the duck feet are expensive, so I don't want to eat them casually in the future. My yard will be empty if I eat them so cheaply."

Yingchun said with a smile: "The rich man is still crying about being poor! We should be ashamed to see others."

When Jia Mu heard that they were going to write poems, she specially sent someone to send two pots of flowers, and asked Amber to tell Li Wan not to restrain them, but to do as they liked.After admiring the flowers and drinking, everyone brewed poems.

Li Wan walked to the table behind the curtain and sat down. She was about to write a few sentences to deal with the business. Daiyu quietly pressed her hand and said, "I want to ask you something, did you say anything to that girl Yun'er?" ?”

Li Wan said: "I didn't say anything special, I just want her to get along well with you."

Daiyu nodded and said: "No wonder. At first she came and quarreled with me upside down. The strange thing is, the more we quarreled, the better our relationship became. Yesterday I only coughed a few times, but she made a fuss and refused to let me work. It’s not fun to say that I’m sick and no one is arguing with her.”

Li Wan snorted and said, "She's just being careless on the surface, how can she be an ignorant person in her heart? It's just that someone needs to wake her up. You and her didn't have a deep enmity, you were just fascinated for a while."

After everyone's poems came out, Daiyu naturally ranked first, and everyone had no objection.Xiangyun is second, Tanchun is third, Baoyu and Yingchun Li Wan are not in the list.

Li Wan smiled and said, "I should have been punished." Just as he was speaking, Bi Yue led a few maidservants in and brought in many boxes. When he opened it, he saw snow and silver ink from all directions, and five small Western enamel seven-color mirrors. , twenty stacks of newly made cloud rice paper, ten new imperial pens and ten purses.

Tanchun laughed and said, "How embarrassing is this? I was joking just now, but my sister-in-law actually brought it. I didn't realize when I sent that girl back."

Xiangyun yelled: "Why doesn't Dudu have Luo Han Guo? It shows that he doesn't take me seriously."

Li Wan said: "Take these things if you like them. Why put them in the box to rot? They are just gadgets. The Luo Han Guo has not reached its peak yet, and it only blooms at the tip. If you want to eat other fruits, you can go there whenever you like." When to go, even if you eat up the tree, I don't care about you."

Xiangyun laughed loudly and said, "Okay, that's what you said, I'll go after a while, don't feel bad when I take them all off."

Everyone thanked them one by one, and then dispersed after talking about the exquisiteness and interest of poems and songs.After Li Wan returned to Daoxiang Village, she just picked up the needle and pointed, when the warning signal on the wall suddenly sounded, she couldn't help but feel flustered, and sent people around to check what happened.After a while, Yindie came to report in a panic: "It's not good, grandma, someone from the school said that my brother was suddenly drawn, and I sent someone to bring it!"

Li Wan's eyes darkened, he held on to the table so he didn't fall, and said calmly, "What a fuss or something, maybe it's Sha. Hurry up and invite Doctor Wang to come over! The old lady and the lady also go to the other side to say something."

After a while, a large group of people carried Jia Lan to the gate of Daoxiang Village. Li Wan led the thick woman out, and hurriedly took Jia Lan to the house and settled down. Tears flowed down beside Jia Lan, waiting for Doctor Wang with a piercing heart.

Jia Lan's limbs curled up and her mouth was foaming, her hands and feet were trembling unceasingly. Li Wan cried uncontrollably, and kept sending people to ask, "Why hasn't Doctor Wang come?" while wiping Jia Lan's mouth with a handkerchief. of dirt.

After a while, Imperial Physician Wang came, and he said: "It's not suitable for too many people in the house, please get some out." He opened the medicine box to get silver needles, and ordered the maids to boil water and fan Jialan.

Li Wan stepped aside, tightly twisting the handkerchief in his hand.After a while Sister Feng helped Mrs. Wang to come. They looked around the room for a while, and seeing that the imperial doctor ordered that there were fewer people needed, they comforted Li Wan, retreated to the next room and sat down, only questioning those who followed Jia Lan. people.The mandarin duck beside Jia Mu also hurried over and asked Sister Feng, "I don't know what happened to Brother Lan? The old lady was in a hurry. She wanted to come over, but she had been ill for a few days and had no strength to stand up. Tell me to come and have a look."

Sister Feng said: "It seems that I have been poisoned by fire. My good brother is writing an article. Suddenly, the pen and ink fell all over the place. After learning from the people, I found something wrong and sent it home."

Yuanyang sighed: "This little man!"

Doctor Wang was busy for a long time, and finally broke out in sweat. Sister Feng and others went up to ask about the situation.

"Brother, this disease is very dangerous! I just fixed it with silver needles, and it was a little more stable, but I couldn't stop it at all, and I would start to vape again after a while. If I vape a few times, it's fine, if I vape too much... The noble mansion is still ready to do so."

Mrs. Wang sighed again and again, and Sister Feng also felt a little desolate and suspicious: "Brother Lan has never had this symptom before, and no one in our family has experienced it. Could it be something strange?"

Doctor Wang hesitated and said: "According to me, it's more important to invite an expert to look at it." After saying that, he left.

After comforting Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng raised the curtain and entered the room. Seeing Li Wan hugging Jia Lan sobbing, she whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, I have some problems with my illness. Don't cry. Send an expert to ask about it." Asking is serious."

This remark reminded Li Wan, she said: "Please invite a few capable monks and Taoists, don't worry about how much money you have, it's only on me."

Sister Feng went as she said, Li Wan hurried to his room, took out Fairy Bu, prayed according to the method of the shop bishop, stood up his pen, and said with tears: "Fairy Bu, please show me, my son Jia Lan What disease do you have?"

After the pen stood in the air for a long while, it suddenly started to move, and a few words appeared on the sand table:

Curse of the Infernal Witch

Li Wan saw it with horror: "Please ask Fairy Bu again, who is that person?"

The sand table leveled itself, and the pen moved again:

婉

Li Wan was overwhelmed with shock: Who is Wan?Before she had time to think about it, she asked the last question that Fairy Bu could answer in a day: "Then how should Lan'er be treated?"

Fairy Bu replied:

Find the voodoo and kill it
