The widowed mother of the red mansion

When they saw Mrs. Wang coming, they got up and gave up their seats.Mrs. Wang didn't know what happened yet, and she only talked about housework with Jia Mu and Aunt Xue. Li Wan was still listening obediently, not wanting to talk to her suddenly.

"I thought, Li's daughter-in-law is soft-hearted after all, and many things need to be handled by Feng girl. She is gentle and meticulous, and she is very good at taking care of the girls. It is better to divide them like this from now on." Mrs. Wang said to Jia Maternity.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Since you have made up your mind, you don't need to ask me. Speaking of which, they are a match made in heaven. One doesn't move, and the other doesn't talk. It's very easy. Li'er is going this time. Going to the exam, you can't be too tight on him, no matter if you pass or not, it's a good idea to go there."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly agreed.After Li Wan said something with her, she and Sister Feng withdrew together, and while they were chatting and laughing, they arrived at Qinfang Pavilion, Sister Feng gave her a wink, Li Wan knew it, stepped back from the servant girl, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Sister Feng said: "Tomorrow your sister-in-law will come and bring up that matter, have you thought about what to say?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "Never mind her, anyway, if an old lady speaks, can the wife reject it?"

Sister Feng sneered and said, "Are you really stupid or fake? For such a big matter, if my wife calls behind my back, it's inevitable that you and I are responsible. Even if you swallow your anger for a while, you may not stop asking us to trouble you in the future."

Li Wan said: "Then according to what you said, what should I do?"

Sister Feng said: "Yesterday, the eunuch Xia in our mother's palace sent a little eunuch to scoop things up. I gave 400 taels to send them away. The old things are still not enough. They said that I will come again today, and I will come again in about a day." It will be here in a few hours. I heard the old ancestor's tone, the empress has acquiesced to Miss Lin, why don't you take this opportunity to ask her and his wife to show their intentions?"

Li Wan was stunned for a moment: "I thought, the empress is interested in Miss Bao."

Sister Feng said: "It was like this at first, but it's not anymore. Since the old lady went to the palace to see the empress a few times, didn't you realize that the rewards for the girls in the future are all the same? When Eunuch Huixia comes, we want him to bring A message to the empress, how the old lady persuaded the empress, tell her how to persuade the wife."

Li Wan smiled and said: "You are so smart. I said why are you so kind, so you are pulling me to be taken advantage of. The money I borrowed from you has just been taken back and it has not been warmed up yet. It is about to be thrown out again."

Sister Feng also laughed and said: "This is to find a wife for your brother. If you don't pay, who will pay? The wool comes from the sheep. In the future, I want Miss Bao to bring all the furniture back to you."

Eunuch Xia is a fine old man, and when he came back to his relatives this time, after talking about Yuan Chun's situation in the palace, he began to complain differently, either because he couldn't afford a house or he was suffering from illness.Li Wan had already prepared six pairs of gold ingots in the box, and asked the little maid to hold them to Eunuch Xia. The eunuch Xia glanced at the box with drooping eyelids, and said with a smile: "The two grandmas are too angry. If there is anything you need to help, feel free to talk to our family, as long as it doesn’t violate the laws of the palace, it’s fine.”

Sister Feng said a few words in a low voice, Eunuch Xia pursed her lips and smiled after listening for a while: "It's not a big deal, Bao Zhun will bring it."

Li Wan said with a smile: "I also ask my husband to say a few nice words in front of the empress."

Eunuch Xia said: "This is natural, why do you need to tell me?"

After sending Eunuch Xia away, Sister Feng leaned on the threshold and spat forcefully on the ground: "Every one of them is like blood-sucking flies, and they have no descendants. They are saving money to hang around the coffin!"

Li Wan said: "This kind of people can't marry a wife, and their color and profit are the same. Naturally, they are more greedy for money. Do you usually come here so diligently?"

Sister Feng said: "I'm going to come here once a few months. At the beginning, one or two hundred taels was enough. Later, the lion will open up more and more. If he comes in person, he will double the amount. Give it, our family is really nervous, so don't give it. Well, they are afraid that the empress will be wronged in the palace, they can count on it."

Li Wan shook his head.

Mrs. Mu brought Li Hao to Beijing for the exam, first went back to his house to settle down, and then came to visit Jia's mansion with a gift of Yangzhou's customs and customs.Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang hosted a banquet in honor of Mr. Mu. His grace, generosity and intelligence quickly won everyone's love and respect. Both Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang stayed with him for a few more days until Jia Li and Li Hao finished the exam together. Go home and make plans.

Because of her aunt's visit, Jia Lan was not allowed to go to school to attend the banquet, and sat between Li Wan and Mu family.Mrs. Mu said with a smile: "I heard that even Brother Lan has made an appointment to kiss, and suddenly I remembered that Brother Hao in our mansion has also reached the age, and it will be too late if we don't talk about marriage. It is also for this reason that we have been sending people around to inquire. The right girl, if the old lady has someone in mind, she must speak and listen."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "I've seen your brother before, and he speaks and looks very good. It's really hard to find a match."

Mrs. Wang said: "I've seen that brother too. If the girls in our family are indeed not good enough, but there is another girl in the family. Although the age is not good, the others are pretty good."

Mother Jia suddenly said: "Don't tell me I haven't remembered yet. Girl Bao passed her 15th birthday long ago?"

Aunt Xue glanced at Mrs. Wang and said hesitantly, "Yes, it's almost sixteen."

Mrs. Mu said with a smile: "Our brother is almost eighteen, and his age is good."

Jia's mother said: "This is a big deal. If we drag it on, people will say that we don't care about our relatives. We have such a good girl, but we refuse to let him go. Please ask someone to call Bao girl."

Mrs. Wang wanted to point at Lin Daiyu, but when she saw Baochai being pushed out by the crowd, she hurriedly laughed and said, "Bao girl is not as good as Lin girl, why don't you ask Lin girl to come out and have a look."

Jia Mu said: "I know you are self-effacing, and I am afraid that we will wrongly praise your relatives. However, I have seen all these years that the four girls in our family are not as good as Bao girl. It is absolutely true."

Mrs. Mu asked, "How old is Miss Lin?"

Jia Mu said: "It's not yet fifteen, so I'll lead you to meet Bao girl first, if not, then see Er girl. The other girls are too young, there is absolutely no reason to leave the cabinet before sister. "

Those words made Mrs. Wang's face extremely ugly, she couldn't help but want to wink at Aunt Xue, but Aunt Xue kept her head down while drinking tea, but she couldn't meet her eyes.

Baochai came up surrounded by people.Mrs. Mu took her hand, nodded, and gave her a pair of rings.Jia Mu and others talked to Baochai and told her to go down again.

"How do you feel?" Mother Jia asked with a smile.

Mrs. Mu said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen such a good girl. You've never been betrothed before?"

"Can this be false? It seems that it's all fate."

Mrs. Wang felt chest tightness and bloating, but it was not easy to get angry, so she had to sit for a while and leave the seat with a headache.From the beginning to the end, she thought that it was Jia's mother who intervened in order to express her dissatisfaction with Jin Yu's marriage, but she never thought that the few people in the room knew and communicated with each other, including Aunt Xue.

Jin Chuan'er was startled by the sound of Mrs. Wang throwing the cup, and quietly asked her younger sister Yu Chuan'er, "Madam was fine this morning, what's the matter now?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Chuan'er said softly, "I heard that the old lady made the decision to use Miss Bao as a matchmaker for Grandma's natal brother. It seems that even a marriage is about to be arranged."

Jin Chuaner frowned, walked into the room with rock candy jade pear soup, smiled and said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, don't be angry. Doctor Tian said before, Madam, that your anger is too high and you need to rest. Now you are angry again, and you are very angry." It is worth a lot of money. These little hooves are not good, my wife, Mrs. Ju, will teach them, why make my wife unhappy?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jin Chuan'er, and said with a sneer, "It's strange that I'm angry! It's because I've misjudged my eyes. I'm usually muffled, and I've made up everything behind my back. I think Feng girl also has selfish intentions. If you talk about this matter and She has nothing to do with it, I don't believe it."

Jin Chuan'er didn't know what was going on, so she lowered her head and dared not answer.

Mrs. Wang sized Jin Chuan'er for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "How many years have you served me?"

Jin Chuan'er was startled, and said, "Go back to your wife, it's been almost seven years."

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Although you are not as good as Qingwen, you are still the first class in the room. Don't serve me these few days, you go home. I will disgrace you later and send you to Li'er's room go inside."

Jin Chuan'er was ecstatic, kowtowed a few times and backed away.

After returning to her room, she pressed her hands to her chest, her face flushed with excitement.Ever since she entered Jia's mansion, she has been secretly in love with the handsome and intelligent Jia Li. Every time he came to Mrs. Wang's room to say hello, she took away the teacup he drank, just to put his lips on it for a while.

She has always kept this feeling deep in her heart, because the identities of the two are very different.Originally, she also had a dream, thinking that she was Mrs. Wang's big girl, and she might point it out to Jia Li in the future, but Jia Li had a weird temper, and he teased and left the two maids who had been sent to the house before. The matter has always made her regret and secretly happy.I really didn't expect... I didn't expect to have today!

Jin Chuan'er only felt that the sky was much brighter than usual, and she packed up her things very briskly.Yu Chuan'er noticed that her sister was abnormal, so she asked what was going on.Jin Chuan'er was very proud, and told all the reasons, which stunned Yu Chuan'er, and thought to herself: How come such a good thing didn't happen to me?

"My good sister, don't forget me when you lose face." Yu Chuan'er tugged on Jin Chuan'er's sleeve and said, "I don't want to spend my whole life doing chores in my wife's room, with nothing to do."

Jin Chuaner smiled and said, "Don't tell me you want to be Uncle Li's roommate too?"

Yu Chuan'er shook her head: "There's no reason to argue with my sister, you can find a way to get me into Baoyu's room."

Jin Chuaner nodded: "Let's see again, who knows if Grandpa likes me?"

No matter how stupid Yu Chuan'er was, she knew what to say at this time: "My sister is good-looking, and her mind is top-notch. I'm sure she will give birth to a son in a few days to be my aunt."

Jin Chuan'er pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word, packed up her better clothes and went home straight away.When her family heard the news, everyone was very happy.

Li Wan, who didn't know anything about it, didn't care about some rumors in the mansion. The day when Jia Li went to take the exam was coming soon, but his health didn't improve much, which made Li Wan very worried.

"Is your body really strong enough?" Li Wan hesitated for a long time, then said to Jia Li: "How about asking a doctor to follow you..."

Jia Liben bent down to paint on the case, and after hearing this, he turned around and hugged Li Wan in his arms, making Li Wan jump up in embarrassment: "Hurry up and let go, what does it look like!"

Jia Li smiled and refused to let go: "Then what will it be like to ask a doctor to follow me?" Li Wan couldn't break free for a long time, so he turned his face and said: "Stop making trouble."

Jia Li finally let go, and he brought Li Wan over to look at his paintings.Li Wan couldn't help but blushed when he saw it, and it really was her again.

"Imperial examinations are not very interesting. A man still needs to go to battle to kill the enemy and make achievements." Jia Li said, "It's just that now that I have you and Lan'er, I'm no longer careless, and I'm sure I'm not as brave as other homeless people. .”

Li Wan couldn't help being startled when she heard this, she tentatively asked Jia Li: "The battlefield is so dangerous, aren't you afraid?"

Jia Li smiled and said: "I always fight on the front line in my dreams, so why should I be afraid." His eyes suddenly darkened: "The most terrifying thing is not the enemy, but the villain who speaks honey and has a sword in his belly."

Li Wan's body was trembling slightly, at this moment Jia Lan pushed the door open and came in, threw herself into Li Wan's arms and kissed her, then threw herself into Jia Li's arms and said, "Dad! Mr. Jin'er praised me for writing again. The poem is well written, so when will you take me hunting?"
