The widowed mother of the red mansion

After Xichun drank the "medicine" for half a month, the symptoms of nightmares at night completely disappeared.

Those black mist condensed into a black round stone in the water, about the size of longan, shiny and bright.Li Wan fished the black stone out of the water, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and put it in the small drawer. Inside the drawer were all her personal belongings, even Bi Yue Suyun would not touch it easily.

The ancients were always afraid of dreams, and Li Wan didn't dare to enter the dream with her body. She searched all over the 24 worlds, but she couldn't find an amulet that could be brought into the dream.Ah Ba told her: "Everyone's dream is neither real nor illusory. It is a place that breaks out of the laws of the world. Naturally, there is no external force to help you. Also, what you break into is someone else's dream, and you cannot carry supernatural powers." I went all the way. But don’t worry, the dream won’t be real, and it won’t hurt you too much. At most, you’ll be in a panic for a while, and you’ll be able to make up for it after a while.”

Li Wan thanked Ah Ba, and began to prepare the copper stove, spices, golden bells and other things that fell into his dream.Xichun saw that she was busy, so she still moved back to live in her own building, and occasionally came to find her to play chess and chat with Daiyu.Li Wan was afraid that Xichun would be frightened by the sound of falling asleep, so he didn't stop her, but said: "It's fine to go back, but you are not allowed to talk about becoming a monk."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'm very tired, I just want to have a good rest." Xichun said.

After Xichun left, once everything was ready, Li Wan used the divination fairy to count the days, and learned that there were many inauspicious stars in this month, so it was not advisable to get lost in dreams, so he had to wait until next month.

Coincidentally, Xiangyun came to stay with her for a few days, so she asked the little girl to invite Daiyu and Sister Feng to come and prepare a table of wine and food, and the four of them just gathered around the kang table to drink and have fun.

Sister Feng doesn't eat much meat, but she still can't put down the wine. She drank two small cups one after another, smiled and said to Ping'er, "Go and get a plate of the bamboo shoots I marinated earlier."

Ping'er went as he said.Xiangyun said: "The sun is coming out from the west, and you still know how to cook side dishes?"

Sister Feng said: "You haven't been in this mansion for a few years, you don't know that I don't care much anymore. Now I eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha in the front yard. When I have nothing to do, I also plant flowers like your second sister-in-law Bao used to do." A dish or something, but elegant?"

Xiangyun clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "That's called funeral flowers, and how could she grow vegetables? Don't talk about Wenya, these two words are weird when they come out of your mouth. If you didn't speak clearly, I would still I thought you were in trouble again!"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Don't just try to squeeze people, drink your wine."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "You laugh at me, I also have a lot of your jokes here. The young lady who came out of the Duke's mansion used to hate talking about money the most, why is she trying to find ways to buy shops and land to make money recently?"

Xiangyun blushed: "You are clever and weird, you know all these miscellaneous things when you are trapped in the yard." After saying that, he lowered his head and concentrated on picking duck heads to eat.Sister Feng said calmly: "Although I am trapped in the courtyard, I still have good news."

Li Wan asked Sister Feng: "Could it be that I heard what the monks who came and went? Thanks to them, they support the Bodhisattva King and eat the Sifang Zhai offering, but they care about these common things about fireworks."

Sister Feng said: "You don't know that these people are used to dealing with rich families, they go from house to house all day long, and they don't do anything in private? Ladies and ladies who want to hug money, businessmen, they are everywhere. There's a stick here and there. Speaking of buyers and sellers, I think of an amusing incident."

Both Daiyu and Xiangyun held their chopsticks, and asked her, "What's interesting, tell me quickly."

Sister Feng suddenly slapped her head: "Oh, I'm really old and my head is confused, so I want Babaer to say it to make you laugh, but I forgot again."

Xiang Yun scolded with a smile: "Yes! I told you to keep everything in mind, but there are a few things out there."

Ping'er brought a box of side dishes, put them on the table and said with a smile: "The bamboo shoots are made by grandma, but the red oil egg and pickled pickled vegetables are made by myself. Grandma and I will try it. Who is better at cooking in my grandma?"

Sister Feng spat at her, "Usually I'm used to you, but you're so shameless that you want people to praise you."

Ping'er smiled and said: "I learned from my grandma, and I pretended to be fine. Grandma, don't rush to eat. When I came in just now, sister Suyun asked me to bring a message, saying that it was Mrs. Lin who was looking for you. "

Li Wan suddenly said: "I'm confused, I should settle the kitchen account for her today. You guys drink first, I will come when I go."

Everyone said: "Just go, we are not restricted here."

Li Wan left the table with a smile, and then walked into the side hall. He didn't see Mrs. Lin butler, but saw Suyun waiting there with Juan'er, and he understood in his heart: "What's wrong?"

"Back to grandma, I stayed there day and night, and there was no movement. Just now, I was playing with butterflies, and suddenly I saw a person sneaking in. When I came out, the eldest sister didn't recognize me, so she kept going. Followed, and finally she entered Aunt Du's room, and I ran back in a hurry."

Li Wan made a decisive decision and took Biyue Suyun, a few burly wives and more powerful daughter-in-laws straight to the big kitchen.Although the small stove was opened, Li Wan still asked Zou Siniang to send three bowls of red date soup to her and Jia Li's two aunts every day, of course not for drinking, but for that person to take advantage of it.

Zou Siniang saw the battle, although she was puzzled, she didn't show any panic on her face, and asked cautiously: "Grandma, this is..."

Li Wan said with a smile: "Since there are a few fewer people eating at the big stove, the number of little maids here seems to have decreased too. Isn't it very deserted when no one talks every day?"

Zou Siniang said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry too much. Although I have reduced the number of people, Grandma has paid me more wages and less work than before. What is there to complain about? Occasionally some little maids come over to say something. It’s nothing more than asking for steamed eggs and gluten. There are also enlightened masters who ask for food and reward them with money. I rummaged around and picked around, I took a good basket of vegetables, but it was messed up, and two chickens were broken." It seemed to be a look of regret.

That Juan'er said that she would be strictly guarded, but in fact she forgot to play every day, and only glanced at it when she remembered.Today, she is lucky to see the right person, otherwise she will miss it again.

Li Wan nodded and shouted: "Search, don't let go of anything suspicious. Whoever finds it first will be rewarded."

She always enjoys rewarding people, and hearing that it is a great reward, the eyes of those daughters-in-law and women's eyes lit up as if they had drunk wine, and they went to the kitchen, wishing they could even brush off the beards on a vegetable leaf to see.

Zou Siniang was so frightened that her legs limp: "Grandma...Grandma, what are you doing, you can't help tossing about these dishes..."

Li Wan said with a smile: "Don't panic, Auntie, I will compensate you for the damage inside. Let's drink tea outside to relieve boredom, don't worry, it has nothing to do with you if something goes wrong."

Zou Siniang went out tremblingly.After a while, a shrewd woman came out with a basket of red dates and said, "Go back to grandma, there is something wrong with this basket of dates."

Zou Siniang took a look, then spat at her, "You're so round and juicy, what's the problem?"

The old woman sneered and said, "If I wasn't a horseman from Hejian, I would have been taken aback by you. Half of the jujubes in this basket are small and the jujubes are not edible at all. They are ours. The fruit on the thorn tree there is similar to ordinary jujubes when eaten, and it doesn’t cause diarrhea and vomit yellow water. It’s just that the toxicity has accumulated over time. I don’t know when you will see the king of Hades! If you don’t believe me, at any rate Drink a bowl of it every day and try it yourself, after a month you will not die but I will die!"

Zou Siniang broke out in sweat, knelt down and said loudly: "Grandma Mingjian, all the things in the kitchen are purchased and delivered every day. Without my hands, I, I don't have the guts to harm grandma! Every time grandma For a bowl of jujube soup, I choose the big red jujubes for my own sake, and I have to pick out the small jujubes and put them in other people's soups!"

Li Wan asked Biyue to help her up, and said softly, "Don't panic, auntie, didn't I tell you from the beginning, you have nothing to do with finding anything. You have always done a good job here, and you are the wife's companion Relatives, how can lard be deceived and do such a self-defeating thing? Think about it, is someone coming to you and mixing things up?"

Zou Siniang suddenly thought of something, and said in horror: "It's her, it's Auntie Du's maid Cui'er! The other maids came over and stood outside for a while at most, and left as soon as they said they wanted something. She is willing to stay longer, but every time she comes into the room attentively, she never idles her mouth and hands, touches and moves everything she sees, it must be her! Son, what kind of enmity did my mother have with her, to harm me like this!"

Li Wan said: "No one is allowed to speak out about today's matter. Once there is news, all of you present will be beaten to death and thrown outside, understand?"

Everyone except Zou Siniang said in unison: "Grandma ordered, we will not speak when we die."

Li Wan smiled and said to Zou Siniang: "Although I am willing to believe my aunt, but what I say is groundless, I still need to play tricks and find a way to catch the current situation."

Zou Siniang kowtowed like pounding garlic: "It makes me so, I'll invite Big Sister Zhou here tomorrow, and make sure that little bitch shows her fox tail!"

When Li Wan returned to Qingge Courtyard, Sister Feng and the others were already a little drunk, and asked her: "Why have you been here for so long? Does our small kitchen have a big bill? Do you want me to give you some money?"

Li Wan smiled and pushed her away: "You must have drunk too much."

Sister Feng shook her head: "Look, those two are the ones who drank too much."

Li Wan turned her head to look, and saw Daiyu and Xiangyun sleeping on her bed so drunk, both of them had cheeks pink and their hair was slightly messed up, their snowy lotus-like arms were sticking out of the quilt, they looked like drunken begonias Wangui is very delicate and cute.

She was very surprised: "Forget about Xiangyun, why is Yu'er..."

Sister Feng chuckled: "Talking about the past, both of them let go of their hearts, and naturally they both drank with open arms. Go to bed, too, there are a lot of things going on tomorrow."
