The maid of the red house

Execution of the supervisor is different from the execution of the judgment. The execution of the judgment is to beheaded immediately for public display, and there is no room for change. However, the execution of the supervisor can only be executed after the autumn trial, whether it is postponed, or the sentence is changed to exile, etc., so it seems Zhou Yuan's sentence was extremely severe, but it is clear that the original sentence will not be upheld in the autumn trial.

When Daiyu was worried, when she heard the letter, she said to Xueyan: "Look at the holy man who is about to make a move."

Mrs. Zhou was worried about her husband and son. He had been exhausted for many days, and now he had fallen ill. Xueyan just came back from visiting Zhou's house. Hearing Daiyu's words, she said, "Young lady is right. The autumn trial is not just for the Honorary Bachelor Instead, the six ministers, Dali Temple Minister, Du Yushi, Tongzheng Envoy, Xiaosansi and countless other officials tried together. I remember that most of these officials were promoted in recent years. At that time, we will definitely not abide by the original judgment of Rongda’s undergraduate students.”

Zhou Yuan was sentenced to be beheaded, and Zhou Hong was exiled. Even if he took action today, he didn't know if there would be room for recovery.

The second master and servant waited for a few more days, but there was still no movement in the court. They and the Zhou family were the most worried, and they became a little anxious. Although Daiyu was stable, she was young after all, so she inevitably showed some signs.

Xueyan ran around Zhou's house and the back door every day, comforting Zhou Fu and Daiyu, etc., she was really busy without touching the ground.

Early this morning, Xueyan saw that Daiyu didn't want to eat, so she asked Xiaohe to go to the kitchen to ask for a bowl of porridge and two light dishes. There are a lot of fruit, usually as soon as I ask for it, I don't want to wait for a long time today, Xueyan was about to go there in person, when I saw Xiaohe came back angrily.

Seeing her face full of anger, Xueyan thought about it and knew it.

Baoyu was favored, and the little girls in Yihong Courtyard went to order food, and the kitchen was full of flattery, Yingchun was not favored, and the big girl played chess and asked for a bowl of egg custard for two or three pennies. However, they only thought that the Zhou family was in ruins and Daiyu vowed not to divorce, so they gradually stopped paying attention to Daiyu.

Sure enough, I heard Xiao He say angrily: "The kitchen says to cook things for the old ladies, ladies and gentlemen, tell them to wait."

Xueyan sneered, and said: "Dog's eyes look down on things, and don't even think about it. Although something happened to the Zhou family, the old lady still protects the girl. When the girl was not engaged in the past, when did they dare to treat her like this?"

Sitting under the window, Daiyu sipped a sip of rose tea, and said, "Why are you so knowledgeable with these little people? Besides, since they said they were cooking tonic for grandma and uncles and aunts, they are not idle. Fortunately, there is a small stove in our room. Charcoal has rice, ask Danju to watch and cook a little rose porridge, isn't it cleaner than the one from the kitchen?"

Xueyan said: "It's just for the sake of the girl. Before the girls were engaged, they all came to flatter them. Now that the Zhou family is in trouble, everyone is like that. It's really indescribable anger. I want a bowl of porridge today and say I don't have time, who knows Will you deliver meals tomorrow as usual?"

Daiyu smiled, and was about to speak, when she heard a voice outside the window: "Is this the treatment in my younger sister's house? Serving Miss Lin once, and the master and servant can't even eat a bowl of porridge? Do you have to do it yourself?"

Following the sound, the little girl raised the curtain, and Yu Liansheng walked in, accompanied by Yuanyang, followed by two little eunuchs.

Seeing Yu Liansheng, Daiyu stood up, but Xueyan was overjoyed, and rushed forward and shouted, "Why did you come here?"

Julien had a half-smile on his face, and said, "If you don't come, how do you know that my sister and Miss Lin are so difficult here as a master and servant, and you don't even have a bowl of porridge. But sister, don't worry, go back and tell Eunuch Dai later. Eunuch Dai was thinking of Aunt Nanhua, so he sent two cooks and hundreds of catties of rice, charcoal, grains and vegetables over here.

Yuanyang was very embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly winked at Xueyan. Just now when he heard that Yu Liansheng came to find Xueyan to scoop up books, Jia's mother saw him, and then ordered her to send him to Daiyu's side to meet Xueyan. Going out of the window, I heard such a thing.

Seeing Yuanyang's eyes, Xueyan smiled faintly, and said, "Brother, why do you do this, we can't go hungry anyway."

Yu Liansheng said: "It's easy not to be hungry, and you can live just as well by eating a piece of steamed corn bread. It's just that you are spoiled and spoiled, how can you suffer so much? If you live here and can't even eat porridge, it looks like you'll move out to be serious, not to mention There is also the house left by Aunt Nanhua, next door is Zuodu Censor, and I have money, can't I still afford food?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "How is it so easy? Look at what elder brother said, moving out for a bowl of porridge is not enough of a joke! What's more, the girl is considerate of the old lady, if she refuses to do so, don't mention it again."

The side of the mandarin duck quickly nodded and said: "It turned out that the old lady didn't know about the small troubles. If she knew, she would definitely beat her up and drive her out. When she got back, she would tell the old lady that Eunuch Yu just don't worry. Miss Lin and Xueyan are here, old lady." I don’t want to make them feel wronged any more.”

Daiyu also laughed and said, "Grandmother has always been in great pain, how can she be willing to leave."

When Yu Liansheng heard this, he said with a smile: "If it's a small trouble, just kill it and drive it out. I'm worried that even the master doesn't pay much attention to Sister Xueyan and Miss Lin, so the palace will be worried day and night."

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "It will definitely not be like this, Eunuch Yu don't worry. Eunuch Yu finally came here, Xueyan, hurry up and pour your good tea, come as you go."

Xueyan agreed and invited Yu Liansheng to take a seat, Daiyu took the main seat, and Yuanyang went to report to Jiamu.

When the two little inner eunuchs were led by Zijuan to another room for hospitality, Xue Yan did not mean that Lian Sheng opened his mouth, and immediately asked impatiently: "Brother, is what you said last time true or false?"

Yu Liansheng smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

Xueyan frowned and said: "Brother, don't coax, since it is true, then my uncle will be on the road in two or three days, why is there still no movement? Could it be that we have to wait until our uncle is on the road before we can do it? What's the use then? With that said, Xueyan opened her eyes and looked at Yu Liansheng with clear eyes, as if she wanted to see something from him.

Yu Liansheng said with a smile, "I'm here today to tell you some good news. Our master is going to make a move."

Xueyan was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, Daiyu's brows and eyes were also tinged with joy.

Yu Liansheng and Emperor Changqian had seen a lot and gained a lot of knowledge. He comforted Xueyan and said, "My lord has been waiting for an opportunity. It's only been two days. I'm afraid you will be worried, so Tete will tell you."

Dai Quan originally thought that the Zhou family was in such a difficult situation, Daiyu's master and servant were running around for it, and Xueyan had Nanhua's face, so she should come to ask him for help, but who knew that he waited and waited but didn't, so he couldn't help feeling a little admirable, and at the same time Emperor Changqian has always been grateful to Nanhua, since Xueyan didn't come to beg him, he sent Julien to give some news to prevent them from getting sick suddenly.

Xueyan was relieved, Yu Liansheng never targeted indiscriminately, since he said so, it was obvious that Emperor Changqian had already made preparations.

After thinking about it, Xueyan asked: "I don't know how the sage intends to do it?"

Yu Liansheng thought for a while, then told her Dai Quan's words, and said: "I know, after all, it's not a big deal, it's all just knowing some news, how can I know the master's methods? Sheng's mind is unpredictable, even Eunuch Dai is just If you can guess two or three points, Eunuch Dai said that there will be news tomorrow, so you can rest assured."

Xueyan was startled when she heard that it was Dai Quan's intention.

Yu Liansheng said with a smile: "Although he didn't go to ask Eunuch Dai, Eunuch Dai remembered it in his heart. Before he came, he even told Praise that he had a heart, and he didn't want to rely on others when encountering such a big event."

Xueyan chuckled, and said: "Where is it that you don't rely on others? Now you don't rely on elder brother to bring news? It's just that I never thought about relying on my sister for anything, so I didn't think of Eunuch Dai for a while." She was telling the truth. He never thought of relying on the palace, so of course he wouldn't bother Dai Quan, lest he get caught in the dust.

Being so relied on by the snow geese, Yu Liansheng suddenly felt at ease and laughed too.

When Daiyu heard this, she got up and left the brothers and sisters to talk, and went to the bedroom by herself.

The two brothers and sisters talked a lot more, and Yu Liansheng's intention of coming was also an excuse. Xueyan hurriedly packed a large load of books and some pens, ink, papers and inkstones. Yanshi gave him a lot of enlightenment books, and there were annotations in the books, which were approved by Daiyu when she was teaching her.

Julien's two little eunuchs scooped up things and wanted to get up to leave, but suddenly they saw the mandarin ducks coming in, holding two bowls of porridge and four delicate side dishes with their own hands, and smiled at Xueyan: "The old lady heard about Miss Lin's grievances, and she is very special. Specially ordered the kitchen to make porridge for the girl, and ordered everyone to take down the cook who neglected Miss Lin, beat her out, and never hire her."

Daiyu came out of the bedroom and said: "It's just a trivial matter, and my grandmother has to worry about it."

Yuanyang smiled wryly in her heart, it was a trivial matter for her, but Yu Liansheng saw his sister neglecting him, so how could he not deal with it.

Yu Liansheng said with a smile: "Since the old matriarch is making decisions for Miss Lin and my sister, I won't ask Eunuch Dai to make decisions when I go back."

Yuanyang breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put down the carved lacquer food box, and offered tea money.

Yu Liansheng accepted it with a smile, and did not refuse. When Xueyan sent him to the door, he changed hands and gave her the two purses brought by Yuanyang, and said with a smile, "There are no shortage of these, save them for tea."

Xueyan hastily declined and said, "Leave it for the two little father-in-laws to have tea, what are you doing?"

Yu Liansheng stuffed the purse into her hand, and said with a smile, "Here, what's the rest? You can get it everywhere you go, and there are plenty of it." After finishing speaking, he rode off on his horse.

Xueyan stuffed the two heavy purses into his sleeves and walked inside.On the way, I met many girls and women with red flowers and willows, and they all came up to say hello, with respectful expressions, not at all contemptuous as before Julien was born. Apparently, Mother Jia was furious and beat the cook to make them understand Daiyu in their hearts. There is still Jia's mother who loves her here, and Xueyan has an older brother to support her.

Xueyan laughed and sighed, and told Daiyu, who also had a wry smile on her face, and said, "I really don't need to worry about this, let's go to Zhou's house again, and tell Mrs. Zhou the news brought by my father-in-law, and I will help you." Don't worry."

Xueyan ordered to drive and went straight to Zhou's house.

The Zhou family has been very sparse in the past six months, except for a few very close friends, no one has come to condolences.

Mrs. Zhou's complexion has faded, and he is half lying on the couch. The three brothers are waiting in front of him. Except for Zhou Yan who is still stable, Zhou Lian and Zhou Yan can't stop crying when they recite the past. The side branches also avoided them one after another, and that's all, but the family is like this, so how can we not make them sad.

Hearing the snow geese coming, Zhou Fu immediately opened his eyes and said, "I only came here early this morning, why are you here again now?"

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law hurriedly came up and said, "It's different from the hurried appearance in the morning, so I'm quite happy."

Zhou Fu hurriedly said: "Please come in quickly, maybe she has some good news to bring to you, I don't know."

The housekeeper's daughter-in-law greeted the snow geese in person, and before she could say hello, Mrs. Zhou said, "Stop being so polite, my good boy, but what news do you have for us?"

Xueyan nodded, and glanced at the housekeeper's daughter-in-law and maids. Mrs. Zhou understood, and waved them to leave, leaving only herself and her three children in the room. Yu Liansheng was told about the news, but Yu Liansheng was not mentioned. He only said that Dai Quan sent her to tell her because of her sister Nanhua's face.

Zhou Fu was full of surprises, and Zhou Yan's three brothers and sisters were also weeping with joy.

Xueyan said: "Tomorrow there will be a big pilgrimage, what Lai Sheng will do at the pilgrimage, but these people don't know."

Zhou Fu was more knowledgeable than their master and servant, so he hurriedly asked Zhou Yan, "What's going on in the court recently?"

Zhou Yan thought for a while, and said: "Now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, I have never heard of any movement."

Xueyan listened to it, secretly marveling, it seemed that Zhou Yan had already possessed Zhou Yuan's demeanor at such a young age, he paid attention to the movement of the court, and learned some news from it.

After receiving the news from Xueyan, Mrs. Zhou was very energetic, and his face turned red, he said: "I have never been able to guess the mind of the current sage, and it seems that I don't know what the sage intends to do. I only hope that the master and Hong'er It is better to get rid of the crime earlier, even if the family is left idle, than to be sentenced to imprisonment and exile!"

Xueyan comforted her for a long time, and Fang made Mrs. Zhou stop for a while, and hurriedly called in, scooping up two purses for her.

Xueyan hastily declined and said with a smile: "My wife has already given it to me in the morning, so why not pay it back twice a day?"

Zhou Fu said with a smile: "For those who eat tea, I put all this thought into it, and it's better than others. I think of yours in my heart. I feel better if I accept it. If I don't accept it, I feel more and more incompetent."

Xueyan had no choice but to accept it, she has been traveling back and forth recently, she got a lot of rewards, but most of them were given to Wang Zhong and others.

But when Yu Liansheng went back to the palace to answer Dai Quan, when he heard the situation of Daiyu's master and servant in the Rongguo Mansion, Dai Quan sneered and said casually: "It's nothing. Defeated, more or less avoided, even the branch of the family dare not get close!"

Hearing what Jia Mu had done and what Yu Liansheng said he would not tell himself, Dai Quan looked at him with a half-smile and said, "What a boy, he knows how to make a raft. If you don't tell him, why do you still say it?" ?”

Yu Liansheng said with a smile: "I only said not to ask the father-in-law to make the decision, but I didn't say not to tell the father-in-law, so I know what to do."

Dai Quan chuckled and said, "What a coincidence, Yu Liansheng."

After finishing speaking, he heard that Emperor Changqian had returned, so Dai Quan hurriedly took him there to serve him, but Dai Quan would not follow him during the big and small court meetings.And although Dai Quan gained power, he was only able to sell some inconspicuous and empty titles to the civil and military officials of the court, just like the Long Banwei that Jia Zhen donated to Jia Rong at the beginning, but he would never enter the palace as an official at all.

Emperor Changqian rubbed his forehead. Although he had been confident these days, he was still a little tired when he came up to him.

Even though Emperor Changqian trusted Dai Quan, he would not tell him his plan.

Grabbing the record about the flood in Fujian on the case, Emperor Changgan smiled slightly. After the emperor made some moves, many of them jumped out, especially Rong Kui. The more excuses there are to do it, and it is a felony to frame an official of the court. Since Zhou Hong is innocent and can be sentenced to exile, let alone those of them who are themselves guilty?

Those who fell down and were promoted by themselves are equivalent to cutting off one of the emperor's arms. Although they are not veterans like Rong Kui, they are enough. Everything has to be done one by one. After years of preparation, I can still wait. several years.

At the next day's court meeting, Emperor Changqian passed the booklet sent from Fujian to his courtiers for viewing, and finally asked his courtiers where to send it for disaster relief.

Most of the courtiers recommended Rong University, the emperor nodded and smiled, and only Zhang Xuan and his gang opposed it. Rong Kui framed Zhou Yuan and his son, making these articles unsightly, but because of Rong Kui's situation, they dare not show it. Now that Emperor Changqian opened his mouth, Zhang Xuansu and Zhou Yuan became friends, so he stood up and said, "I think it would be great to send Zhou Da to go."

Looking at this confidant veteran who is also his teacher, Emperor Changqian smiled slightly.

Emperor Changgan smiled, and many courtiers suddenly recalled it. Who didn't know that Zhang Xuan was the emperor's teacher. Although he had only taught Emperor Changgan for a few years, he also had a reputation, didn't he?Today, he was promoted to a bachelor shortly after ascending the throne, and he is in the court with Rong Kui and Zhou Hong, and he is also the old relative of Princess Yongchang. His words obviously got the meaning of Emperor Changqian. This is to protect Zhou Yuan and his son. Woolen cloth!

Rong Kui's face darkened slightly, his power is expanding day by day, and his temper is becoming more and more arrogant day by day, he said: "I think it's not right, Zhou Yuan is notorious for his crimes, he has already been sentenced to prison, how can he take on such a big job?"

Emperor Changqian looked at Zhang Xuan and said with a smile, "What does Zhang Aiqing mean?"

Zhang Xuan said: "Zhou Da is very good. Zhou Da is only in his forties. He is in his prime of life. He has served in Yuehai for many years. He is very familiar with the southern Fujian area. He has also taken care of the river engineering. It is more appropriate to send him there. Although Zhou Da He has already been convicted, but this court is not without the idea of ​​paying for crimes and making meritorious service, if Zhou Da's disaster relief is done properly, he will be worthy of merit when he comes back, and if he has done so, he will add another crime."

Rong Kui's face was very ugly. Zhang Xuan said that Zhou Yuan was in his prime, didn't he imply that he was old?Add another crime, what's the use?Going back and forth once, at least half a year, at most a year, how can I wait?

The emperor frowned, he managed to get Zhou Hong down, and lifted himself up, could it be possible to let him recover?Just as he was about to speak, he heard Emperor Changqian say: "In this case, send Zhou Aiqing to perform meritorious deeds. What does the Supreme Emperor think? If he has made meritorious service, he will be pardoned and let him stay at home. wait."

When the emperor heard that even if Zhou Yuan made meritorious service, he would not return to the court to become an official, and would not affect his confidant's position in the court, and furthermore, he would avoid the faction sent by Emperor Changqian to come back to make meritorious service and be promoted, so he nodded and smiled and said: "That's fine, just Send Zhou Yuan there."

Emperor Changqian was overjoyed and immediately ordered to draw up an edict.

The imperial edicts were drafted by the Imperial Academy, and Zhang Xuan said again: "Since Zhou Da has committed crimes and made meritorious deeds, can the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor pardon Zhou Da's eldest son? A few days ago, Marshal Sang made a request. The subjects of the world think that the two saints don’t care about their subjects? After all, Zhou Dayuan traveled thousands of miles to relieve disasters, and the Zhou family only has an old mother and a weak brother, so they should be forgiven."

Emperor Changqian looked at the emperor and said, "I don't know what the emperor wants?"

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and said: "Then forgive him, let him go home, and forget about his job." Anyway, Zhou Hong has nothing to do with the situation in the court, Zhang Xuan proposed at the meeting that he must be more lenient, if Rong Kui is dissatisfied , I will reward them more later.

The news will come out, there will be troubles and joys.

Not to mention how relieved Daiyu was after hearing that Zhou Hong was safe, Zhou Fu, mother and son were crying with joy, Zhou Fu struggled to get up, hurriedly ordered to clean up the room, prepare hot water and clothes, and sent a housekeeper to pick up Zhou Yuan, father and son, Since Zhou Yuan wanted to go on a long journey, he had to go home. Since Zhou Hong was exonerated, and the decree said that he had to come back after leaving home.

The father and son came back, the family was reunited, and there were endless sorrows and joys.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, the family sat and talked. Mrs. Zhou mentioned that Daiyu was the most worrying thing, and he also mentioned the news from the snow geese yesterday. Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "Sure enough, it's a good wife and a good husband, so it's only today." Understood, both Hong'er and Hong'er are blessed. Originally, I thought Miss Lin was good enough, but I didn't expect to have such spirit."

As he said that, Zhou Yuan looked at his eldest son and said, "In the future, we must treat our daughter-in-law well."

Zhou Hong stood up and said yes, no need for his father to say, Daiyu will never leave him, even if there is no Zhou family's rules, he will be devoted to Daiyu.

Zhou Yuan praised a few more words, and then explained: "This trip will definitely take a year and a half. After all, disaster relief and post-disaster affairs must be properly arranged before returning. The area in southern Fujian is very familiar, and Grand Master Zhang has already followed I whispered that all the people sent to relieve the disaster are the confidantes of the Holy Spirit, so don't worry about getting tricked halfway."

Zhou Fu nodded and said: "Master, don't worry, the five of us, mother and son, wait for the master to come back. As long as we make meritorious service, the crime will be gone."

Zhou Yuan sneered and said: "What kind of crime, those are all framed, it is studying, adhering to the training of the group, how dare you do something that insults the family style. But this is also good, wait until you come back to avoid the limelight, so that the emperor and the Rong family will not do anything It’s an excuse, and if you recover in a year or two, it might be a little bit stronger than it is now.”

Zhou Yuan knew very well that he would not just let this fall down.

Zhou Fu gritted his teeth and said: "That Rongkui is considered a treasure, why is he clinging to our family? Many people refuse to give face even outside the house, except for those few, they are not willing to disclose anything else."

Zhou Yuan smiled coldly, and said: "When the moon is full, it will lose, and when the water is full, it will overflow. Rong Kui is getting more and more confused, and he doesn't even think about it. Which saint would like his courtiers to have more power than himself?"

Zhou Yan said: "I heard that many officials from all over the country who came to Beijing to report on their work first went to the Rongda Scholars' Mansion to pay a visit, and then went to the palace to report on their work! Also, there are also a lot of officials who went to the Rongguo Mansion to pay a visit. .”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, Zhou Yuan immediately said: "It's good to understand, but we must know that things must be reversed at extremes, and we can't do this."

The three brothers stood up at the same time, listening respectfully.

Hearing Zhou Yan mentioning the Rongguo Mansion, Zhou Fu couldn't help laughing and said: "Scholar Rong, Rongguo Mansion, it's a coincidence that Rongguo Mansion behaves very much like the Rongguo Mansion, they are generally domineering, our family is in trouble, Rongguo Mansion is better I don't even have any intention of helping her, and Lin Yatou doesn't like living there very well, it turns out that it's important to marry her earlier."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yan looked at Zhou Hong and smiled, but in her heart she hoped that Daiyu would come in sooner, and then she would be taught to compose poems.

Zhou Hong's face was dark, they couldn't see anything.

Zhou Yuan said: "It's a good idea, but don't forget that it is still a national filial piety, and it will not be until March or April next year."

Zhou Fu sighed, and said: "What the master said is that it can't be mentioned now. Even in March and April next year, the master may not be able to come back, and they still can't get married. Besides, marriage is scheduled for spring. It seems that we can only wait until the next year." gone."

After a while, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Zhou Hong has had ups and downs these days, and his temper has become more and more hardened. He was about to rest when he suddenly saw Zhou Yan running over, standing by the door and looking at him smiling. He always loved this sister, so he waved: " Why don't you rest earlier, why come here?"

Zhou Yan ran up to him, and said with a smile, "Brother, whisper to me."

Zhou Hongdao: "Do you have something to whisper? Tell me quickly, don't tell others."

Zhou Yan stood on tiptoe, leaned into his ear, and said with a smile, "Brother, I didn't tell my second and third brothers, I only told my elder brother that Sister Lin looks really good, she looks like a fairy girl, she is a fairy, It can't compare to Sister Lin!"

Zhou Hong's heart felt hot. Although he had never met Daiyu, he could imagine that she must be extremely beautiful.

He patted Zhou Yan's head and said, "That's what you're telling me?"

Zhou Yan said: "That's it. I lived with Sister Lin for a month, and told Sister Lin about my elder brother. My elder brother can walk through trees with a hundred steps, fly flowers and pick leaves, and even beat a blind bear! But Sister Lin is too shy to listen. , but I told Sister Xueyan, I think, Sister Xueyan will definitely tell Sister Lin secretly."

Hearing that Daiyu was shy and refused to listen, Zhou Hong unconsciously flashed a gentleness in his eyes.

Under the light, Zhou Yan didn't notice, and dragged Zhou Hong to talk about a lot of trivial things that happened around Daiyu. Zhou Hong found Daiyu more and more.

On the second day, Zhou Fu prepared a generous gift and sent it to Rongguo Mansion for Daiyu.

Daiyu received the gift and rewarded the envoy, and after hearing that Zhou Yuan and his son had returned home safely, the rest stopped asking any more questions.

Zhou's father and son are safe and sound, and the people in the house were dumbfounded when they found out, and there was a lot of discussion in private. I really don't know what happened to the Zhou family this time. To take the blame and make meritorious service, although Uncle Lin said that he was a leisurely Fu family, no one knew whether he would be able to continue to be an official in the future, so he changed his mind about Daiyu.

Daiyu pretended not to know that she usually embroidered dowry, read and practiced calligraphy with Xueyan, and went to play with sisters and Miaoyu in her free time.

Daiyu is a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, although she worked hard, she didn't make any effort, while Xueyan was running around under the scorching sun, hoping that Zhou Yuan and his son would be safe, and fell ill as soon as their minds relaxed.

Daiyu refused to ask her to be moved out, saying that the servant's room was not clean, and the food and accommodation were not good, so she went to ask Jiamu to find a doctor.

When Jia's mother found out, she hurriedly called for a doctor she knew well.

The Zhou family soon found out that Zhou Fute sent the housekeeper's daughter-in-law to bring medicinal materials and supplements. She has seen what Xueyan has done these days. How could she not be grateful? When preparing generous gifts for Daiyu, many of them Part of it was for Xueyan, and according to Daiyu's cleverness, she naturally understood.

Xueyan is usually in good health, and after being sick for three to five days, she will be fine after taking medicine, but she is a little tired.

Daiyu refused to ask her to do any work, but just rested.

After all, Xueyan couldn't calm down, remembering that after the natural disasters, people always get sick, and people are prone to edema due to drought, and after floods, many people die, people are very easy to catch diseases like plague, so she hurriedly suggested that Daiyu rummaged through books , Then find out the books on how to prevent the plague and send them to Zhou Fu.

After Zhou Fu scooped it up, he said to Zhou Hong: "This child is really exquisite and clear, and he is so thoughtful."

After finishing speaking, he asked Zhou Hong to scoop it up to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Hong felt proud and honored in his heart. After showing Zhou Yuan the ladle, Zhou Yuan nodded in agreement and said, "My daughter-in-law is right. Although she is a boudoir daughter, she has an eclectic temperament. I didn't expect that. When I went south to help the disaster, I have to ask some imperial physicians to bring more medicinal materials to Sheng."

After hearing this, Emperor Changqian hurriedly ordered four imperial physicians to accompany him, prepared a lot of medicinal materials and relief food, and Zhou Yuan set off immediately.

Mr. Zhou gave Daiyu something to tell the housekeeper's daughter-in-law about these news. Daiyu and Xueyan were very happy.

Woke up early in the morning, drank two bowls of porridge, Xueyan felt a little refreshed, sat on the porch and watched the azalea leaning on the railing to embroider, while Daiyu was reading next to her, when Ping'er came in suddenly, she said with a smile: "You guys are good."

Daiyu was still sitting, Duxueyan and Zijuan stood up and said with a smile: "Why come here when you have time?"

Pointing to the things held by the little girl behind him, Ping'er said: "Second Master just came back from Ping'an Prefecture and brought some things, and Second Mistress sent a few for Miss Lin."

Daiyu owed her thanks and ordered Xueyan to take it away. Fang asked, "Is your grandma all right?"

Ping'er laughed and said: "Since the girl said those words, and later she was taught by Nanny Rong, her temperament has changed a lot recently, and she doesn't care about the affairs of the house, and concentrates on taking care of her body. After all, she is still young, and what she uses is what you give her. Good medicine, quick recovery of vitality, already cured, but in the end, she lost her body, Rongmao said, she still needs to recuperate for a year or so, by then it will be easy to conceive a brother, I don't know what Rongmao taught Anyway, my grandma said, I don't care about it for a year or so."

After hearing this, the audience were all very surprised, and said: "It's amazing, how can your grandma give up?"

Ping'er said: "Ask? I don't know. I asked grandma, but grandma didn't say anything. She just said that she had an idea in her heart. If you want to know, you can ask Madam Rong tomorrow."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't ask, Nanny Rong has a rule, whoever she teaches will never disclose anyone's private affairs."

When Ping'er heard this, she couldn't help but sigh very much. When she came back and told Sister Feng, Sister Feng paid a third of respect to Nanny Rong.

But he said that Jia Lian had already returned, and he went to live with Second Sister You for a day before returning. He didn't want to see Sister Feng greet her with a happy face, so she just put on some makeup, which was not as thick as usual, and even her clothes were also different. It was so bright and bright before, but it was soft in the sharpness, and I was stunned in surprise.

Seeing his expression, Sister Feng sneered in her heart, but her face was full of smiles, and said: "Second Master has worked hard all the way, and I asked to prepare good tea and some good fruits. Second Master, let's taste it first. If it burns, the second master will take a bath and go to the wind and dust."

Jia Lian sat down and said, "Why does it seem like a change? I can't believe it. Is there anything I can ask?"

Sister Feng raised her eyebrows and gave him a sideways glance. The phoenix's eyes were full of gleams, which made Jia Lian's heart flutter even more. She said angrily, "Could it be that being softer means asking for something? You really underestimated him."

Jia Lian took her hand and stroked it a few times, only to feel that it was as warm and greasy as before, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yes, no, I'm overthinking, grandma, don't blame her, after going out for so long, grandma is in great shape? "

Sister Feng laughed and said: "The imperial doctor said that he is already well, but he is still taking care of him, and he has shirked everything about the housekeeper."

After hearing this, Jia Lian was surprised and said, "Grandma is willing?"

Sister Feng said: "What is there to be reluctant to do? For the sake of the future of the children, what is the housekeeper? I don't want the family property we two earned to be cheap! When we have a son, and the second master has a son, let's earn money for the son in a fair way. Karma, wouldn't it be better?"

Jia Lian was full of doubts, but felt that Sister Feng had changed so much that she didn't seem to recognize her.

When Sister Feng said this, thinking of Nanny Rong's terrific statement, her eyes turned red, and she shed tears, and said: "It was all about being strong in the past, and I lost my good brother. If you can relax a little bit, two Now that the master has a son, it is not our family's fault. The second master at least forgives once, and it will not be like this in the future. "

Mentioning the missing son, Jia Lian also burst into tears.

Seeing this, Sister Feng hurriedly said softly: "Second Master, I won't dare to hurt the heir for the housekeeper in the future."

Jia Lian said: "Grandma thinks this way, she's so happy. Let's not talk about the past. Let's change it in the future. Grandma will just take care of her health. If the wife asks grandma to be a housekeeper, grandma will just say that she is not good. "

Sister Feng nodded and said, "It's the same plan."

Seeing Sister Feng say such words, Jia Lian was overjoyed and applauded again and again. Although he said that marrying the second wife secretly was for his heirs, he liked the beauty of Second Sister You and the gentleness that Sister Feng didn't have. Sister Feng turned around and treated him a lot more gently. It doesn't matter if it's the legitimate son. No matter how good Second Sister You is, the son she gave birth to can't inherit the clan.

When Jia Lian was resting at night, Jia Lian was eager to ask for sex, and Sister Feng hurriedly held him down and said, "Second Master, don't forget, we have two filial pieties, one is national filial piety, and the other is family filial piety. Although our family doesn't like it, outsiders know about it." It's not a good thing to say."

Jia Lian's enthusiasm was immediately cooled down.

Sister Feng sneered secretly, closed her eyes, and only thought about the future.

Nanny Rong taught her all kinds of manners, and she applied what she had learned. While studying hard, she quietly sent Bie to inquire about what Jia Lian often went to Ningguo Mansion before going to Ping'an Prefecture. Who knew that he would stop his wife and marry again? Curse yourself to die early!What kind of heart is Sister Feng, how can Jia Lian be tolerated like this?She hated so much that she almost went to the Ningguo Mansion to scold and smash her, and then put Second Sister You to death, but Nanny Rong persuaded her and taught her many ways to be stable without getting a bad reputation.

Sister Feng originally planned to bring Second Sister You in, and then planned to kill her. She went outside to sue Jia Lian for double filial piety to stop her wife and remarry, and then got Zhang Hua to come to file a lawsuit. He gave her a meal and said she was stupid, so that not only would she not be able to get anything good, but if something happened in the future, Jia Lian's case would still remain, and second sister You died, and then she would only hate her.

Sister Feng enshrined Nanny Rong as a real Buddha in her courtyard, and asked for advice every day, Nanny Rong shook her head secretly, Sister Feng is really a fool, she has no demeanor of a mistress, no wonder Daiyu asked her to be sure Teach her well.

At this time, Sister Feng suppressed her anger, assuming that she didn't know about Second Sister You, she recuperated her body on the inside, but evaded the housekeeper on the outside, and wholeheartedly greeted Jia Lian. But when Jia Lian was in a hurry, he talked about the country's filial piety and family filial piety, which only made Jia Lian's heart flutter, and wished he could knock down Sister Feng immediately.

Sister Feng no longer cared about where Jia Lian went to relieve his anger, and occasionally let him go to Ping'er's room, just following Mother Rong's wishes, taking advantage of the time when the country was filial and family filial piety to recuperate, maybe out of filial piety, she herself I fully recovered.

Sister Feng suddenly stopped taking care of things, and everyone in the whole family was surprised, so they all asked Ping'er in private.

After seeing off Xi, Ping'er smiled wryly in her heart, now that she couldn't figure out what Sister Feng was thinking.

Du Daiyu knew the reason behind it, and said to Xueyan: "It's really Mammy Rong's method. It's only been a long time, and Lian's second sister-in-law has changed a lot. I heard that she refuses to do those things. Although the past is hard to end. There will be retribution, but it is very good not to do evil again in the future."

Xueyan agreed: "It's Mother Rong after all."

She doesn't agree with Sister Feng's kindness and viciousness and many other means, but Xueyan still likes Sister Feng very much. It's a good thing, at least, she won't do these things again in the future, which hurts nature and reason.

Soon, Sister Feng came to beg Daiyu to keep Nanny Rong by her side for a few more months.

Daiyu's etiquette has long been learned to perfection, and there is Zhang Nanny by her side, after asking Rong Nanny what she meant, she agreed.

Sister Feng was very grateful, and since then she has become more and more interested in Daiyu, and she is as good as one.
