The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber
Chapter 51 Thrilling
After rectifying the ethnology, although the Jia family was in turmoil for a few days, Jia Lian soon met several poor but learned scholars through Wang Chenglin's channel.
After examining the character and knowledge of these people in detail, Jia Lian spent a lot of money to hire three of them to Jia Clan School, responsible for giving free enlightenment to the children in the clan.
These few scholars have real talents. It is rare that although their families are poor, they have no eyes for superiority and inferiority. They are not like most people who have a kind of hatred for the rich.
In order for these three people to work well, Jia Lian not only paid ten taels of silver per month and four sets of clothes for each season, but also provided food and housing.He marked out three small courtyards in the back street of Jia's house, and promised that as long as the three of them worked hard to teach, they would live here for free during the period of teaching ethnology. The family sent a servant girl to take care of chores, completely eliminating their worries.
Moreover, Jia Lian also made an agreement with these people that even if they become masters in the Jia family, they will not be prevented from continuing their scientific research.And if they can pass the examinations of scholar and Jinshi, there will be additional rewards in the clan, even if they enter and leave the officialdom in the future, they can be promoted one or two.
After such a combination of punches, the three scholars were all grateful, eager to repay Jia Lian, and became more patient and strict with those ignorant children.
As for the students in the ethnology school, all of them have undergone a major change. Those who had nothing to do in the past and took advantage of the clan to spend their days here were all driven home by Jia Zhen in a rage.Even though their parents were crying and crying, and even begged Jia Shishi and Youshi, Jia Zhen didn't let go, only saying that they were disgraceful and unworthy of appearing in ethnology.
Jia Shishi and Youshi knew that Jia Zhen was really angry, and there was no need to offend him for the sake of a collateral clan, so they all made excuses, and none of them agreed.
In addition, even Jia Zhen's own only son, Jia Rong, had his arm broken and was recuperating at home, so he couldn't even attend the sacrifice on the first day of the new year.Therefore, it is not easy for these side branches to say that Jia Zhen is using public service for personal gain, so she went home angrily, and when she caught her own boy who was not up to date, she just gave him a slap, and beat them until they cried.
After driving away those ignorant children, Jia Lian said again, but all the people in the 15th house of Jia's family, between the ages of five and [-], can go to the ethnology for free.Although there is no monetary subsidy for ethnology nowadays, it provides free pen, ink, paper and inkstone, charcoal fire and clothes for the four seasons to the students who go to school.
Although the quality is not the best, it can be regarded as above-average. It is enough for a group of children to be enlightened. At least the three new gentlemen are envious.What's more, Ningrong and Rongfu also promised that if these students can pass the exam, there will be a big reward in the family. For a while, the Jia family set off a wave of reading craze.
In short, after this new year's day, the entire Jia family, no matter whether it is the direct branch or the collateral line, is having a lively time.Some people are happy and some are sad. Those who used to show off their might are now acting with their tails between their legs, and those who were bullied before are now also proud.
There are all kinds of things in the world, and human feelings are cold and warm, and that's all.
After the New Year's Eve, Wang Xifeng's belly was more than seven months old. Jia Lian and Xing's family had long been prepared for it, and Wen's mother-in-law and nurse all picked good ones to raise in the mansion, just in case.
Even the Jia Shi family attached great importance to Wang Xifeng's child, although she already had a great-grandson Jia Lan, she also had no shortage of descendants Chenghuan.But after all, their identities are different. The one in Wang Xifeng's belly is the serious grandson of the Jia family, and Jia Shishi can see it very clearly.
Looking at the people in the whole mansion, fussing about a child who has not yet appeared, not to mention how dejected Li Wan was, holding her son who was under the age of [-] and crying secretly, Madam Wang felt very uncomfortable in every possible way.
Especially the Jia Shi family, who has always regarded Jia Baoyu as his darling, now he also greets Wang Xifeng every day, showing enough concern and attention, even Jia Baoyu retreats for a while, Madam Wang can't help feeling panic .Jia Zhu has already gone, and the ones she can rely on now are Yuan Chun in the palace, and Jia Baoyu who is raised by Jia Shishi's side.
Therefore, if Wang Xifeng's newborn child steals Jia Baoyu's position in Rongqing Hall, the Wang family will never allow it.
Therefore, as Wang Xifeng was about to give birth, and Mrs. Wang's heart was on fire, her small movements became more and more frequent.
It's just that the East Courtyard was tightly controlled by Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and the four nuns who came out of the palace were not vegetarians, and Jia Shishi was guarding it, Madam Wang never found a suitable opportunity to start her cell phone.Instead, she wanted to use foreign aid, just like how she dealt with Jia Hu and Zhang Shi, she killed Jia Hu first, and then aroused Zhang Shi's mind, almost killing Zhang Shi twice.
It's a pity that Wang Xifeng is different from those of Zhang's natal family, and now she is just trying to save face.After experiencing sister Qiao being betrayed and Ping'er slamming into the door to death in her previous life, she didn't clean up that scumbag with her own hands, it was because of her blood relatives, let alone because of them up.
And knowing that someone would play tricks, Wang Xifeng didn't go out of the East Courtyard in his spare time, and only took a walk in the small garden of the main courtyard.Even so, when she was walking, she was surrounded by trustworthy maids and servants, making sure that there was not a single drop of water on the ground, and that there was no stone on the road, so that all dangers were nipped in the bud.
Mrs. Wang became more and more anxious, half a month later, it would be the day when Wang Xifeng gave birth, and it would be too late if she didn't act.
At this time, Mrs. Wang hated her niece even more. She ate things that crawled inside and out. Even though everyone was surnamed Wang, she helped Da Fang deal with her aunt, which cost her a lot of manpower.If she hadn't set the strings by herself, would she have married Jia Lian and become the head grandmother of the Rongguo Mansion?I really don't know how to flatter me!
On the first day of March, the Jia family was extremely lively, because this day was originally Mrs. Wang's 40th birthday.
Although Mrs. Wang has been silent for the past two years, she still gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Jia family. The eldest daughter is still working in the palace, so it is not good to treat her poorly.Therefore, Jia Shishi specially ordered to entertain the close wives and grandmas of each family, set up a few tables in Jia's flower hall, and held a small banquet.
Jia Shi, Xing and Mrs. Wang talked with several old Gaoming and old concubines in Rongqing hall.The other wives and grandmas of the younger generation were sent out by the elders to enjoy the flowers and play games in the small flower hall.
As Mrs. Wang's natal niece and her husband's nephew and daughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng certainly had to show up on such occasions.Surrounded by Ping'er and Nanny Wu, she appeared in the small flower hall with her nine-month pregnant belly.
"Hey, Second Grandma Lian's stomach is about to give birth, right?" Niu Shi, the wife of Duke Shanguo, looked at Wang Xifeng and exclaimed in a low voice in surprise, "You look like you are well-raised. It doesn’t look bloated either, so you’ll suffer less when it’s time to give birth.”
Wang Xifeng laughed and said: "It's all about the kindness of the old ladies and wives, and the maids and women at home are also attentive, plus the nuns are taking care of me, I eat and drink, and only care about enjoying myself."
Next to him is Li Guogong's wife, Mrs. Chen, who is the eldest daughter of Qi Guogong's Chen family. She is three years older than Wang Xifeng, and she has been friends with Wang Xifeng since she was in her boudoir.Now I have a son under my knees, who will be about two years old. The birth was a bit rough, and almost killed half of her life. Since then, her body has been injured, and she has not conceived in the past two years.
Mrs. Chen herself suffered from childbirth, and when she heard Wang Xifeng's words, she didn't quite agree with her, and told her: "Young girl Feng's words are unreasonable. A woman who is pregnant in October and gives birth in the first day is a wanderer behind the gate of hell. How can you say that?" What kind of enjoyment is it? Your baby is well-raised, and it is estimated that you will give birth this month. You have to be more careful in the past few days. When you have nothing to do, let the maid help you to walk more, so that the delivery will be smoother. "
"Don't dislike me for being long-winded. After all, I have experienced it myself. I can't bear to see you suffer this."
This is a good intention, of course Wang Xifeng will accept it, she replied with a smile: "Sister Chen's kindness, I know, these old ladies have confessed, after three meals a day, I will walk along the small garden for half an hour , Firstly to digest food, secondly to exercise, I dare not stop for a day.”
Several people were sitting and talking together, when Yingchun led Tanchun, Xichun, and Jia Baoyu who looked like a red envelope came over.
After this year, Yingchun will be eight years old, and now she has begun to look like a young adult, and she looks very decent with her younger brothers and sisters.This time Mrs. Wang's birthday banquet was arranged by Mrs. Xing and Yingchun because Wang Xifeng was inconvenient.
Facing the group of wives from the family of four princes and eight princes, Yingchun was not timid or afraid, and saluted first in a graceful manner, and then said clearly: "Ladies and grandmas, lunch is ready, please move forward dining room."
The princess of Xining County held Yingchun's hand, looked it up and down, and couldn't help admiring: "I didn't praise you. I don't know how to raise the second girl of your family. This whole body is full of style, full of beauty." Looking at the past, the capital is top-notch. She is only eight years old now, so capable, which wife would not envy? It is the one in my family. At her age, she is not as good as her."
Wang Xifeng replied with a smile: "I can't be praised by the princess of the county. She is a villain, but she is just fighting with our wife. It is not a problem to share the burden. It is not worthy of you to praise her like this. Your small county The Lord is good, just now on the way I came here, I saw her leading several girls, fluttering butterflies in the garden."
"The appearance is handsome, and the bearing is gentle. He can't be more kind and courteous to the younger brothers and sisters. Coupled with the character of this family, ouch, it really deserves to be brought up by the princess of the county. Where are the few in our family? It’s comparable to a burnt paper.”
As soon as Wang Xifeng's humble words came out, several other wives spoke one after another:
"Second Grandma Lian's words are really modest. Although the girls in your family are not very old, they have extraordinary bearing. They will definitely be well-known ladies in the capital in the future."
"That's right. I really love how the second girl of your family behaves. If it weren't for my family not having a son of the right age, I would have settled down with your old lady a long time ago."
"Oh, Mrs. Shi is right. Although I don't have a son of the right age, my natal nephew is only ten years old this year. He is also a good-looking person. Now he is studying poetry and books. His mother is very strict. You can always protect the family if you say that people fall for the land. Second Mistress, how about we get closer?"
In the end, the one who got married was Ma Shi, the second daughter-in-law of Duke Xiu's family. Her eldest aunt, Mrs. Zhi Guo, was the married daughter of the Wang family. Wang Xifeng logically wanted to call her aunt.The four princes and the eight princes are all related to each other. If you look through the genealogy, almost every household has children and relatives by marriage, and those who turn around can be related.
Mrs. Ma said this just to get in touch with Jia's family and Wang Xifeng and his wife.Everyone knows that Jia Lian is now a celebrity in front of the eyes. In the past year or so, he has produced new fireworks, glass, soap and other profitable things. I heard that the people in the Ministry of War almost broke their heads in the court to fight for those things.
Unlike the Jia family who gradually retired from the army after the death of those in power, Ma's natal family and husband's family are still in the military.Her own husband and younger brother are now either in the army or serving as errands in the military department. If they have good things, they will naturally think of their own family.
Wang Xifeng was very clear about her thoughts, even though the Shi family retreated completely in their previous life, they were the only ones in Ba Kilometer who survived.But Yingchun is still young, and Wang Xifeng is just a sister-in-law, so she doesn't intend to settle her marriage right now, and tell her underage daughter's family, even if the general's family rules are loose, Shi's family has passed.
Yingchun had long been shy and hid beside Wang Xifeng. Ping'er saw that her face was flushed, and her footsteps moved slightly to block her view, so that she could feel more at ease.
Wang Xifeng was neither soft nor hard, and said back to Shi Shi: "You are still an elder, there are so many girls in the room, how can you say such things? Besides, my second sister is still young, our wife loves her so much. Yes, I won’t see you for a while, I can’t even eat, I advise you, don’t think about it.”
When Shi heard the words, he realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and his expression was a little embarrassing for a moment. When the other people saw him, he quickly changed the topic: "Didn't you say that the banquet is over? Let's go now, don't let the master wait I'm in a hurry. Besides, I'm waiting for a meal today, and I even missed two bites of breakfast, so I'm already hungry now."
Wang Xifeng didn't hold back any more, and smiled to accompany her: "It's my fault, I just messed around with the Shi family sister, and I forgot the time. Please, please, today, our family specially invites you The chef from Guangfu Building came to the house, I heard that their seafood is excellent, you should try it more."
The group left the flower hall talking and laughing, and went straight to the banquet hall for dinner.
Due to the large number of people, Ping'er and Nanny Wu were surrounded by the crowd, and moved away from Wang Xifeng little by little.Ping'er was the first to notice it, and couldn't help but feel anxious, thinking of returning to Wang Xifeng's side as soon as possible, but she is just a maid, surrounded by noble ladies from various families, how could she go on a rampage?
Nanny Wu was also in a hurry. After she came out of the palace and came to Jia's house, she has been fed with good food and drink, and she no longer has to fight with others to live.What I have to do every day is to protect Wang Xifeng from accidents when the attendants are by her side when she goes out for a walk.Compared with the days when the palace was full of open guns and dark arrows, this life can be said to be very comfortable now, and Nanny Wu cherishes it very much.
No, seeing that Wang Xifeng had left her protection range, Madam Wu thought about it, she came from the Empress Dowager's palace, and she has some status when she saved the Empress Dowager several times before and is in trouble now.In addition, Wang Xifeng was about to give birth after all, and the people around were also paying attention. Seeing her peaceful expression, they quickly gave way to her.
At this moment, one of the nuns who followed Jia Baoyu rolled her eyes and pulled Jia Baoyu to walk quickly a few steps calmly, and landed right behind Wang Xifeng.
Seeing Jia Baoyu swaying towards him, Yingchun thought he had something to do, so she moved slightly in this direction.She walked lightly, and the nanny was concentrating on looking for an opportunity, trying to trip Wang Xifeng, but she didn't notice.
There were people on both sides of Wang Xifeng, and Ping'er and Nanny Wu were about to arrive soon, but the nanny still didn't find a chance to not be discovered.She thought of Mrs. Wang's coercion and temptation, and the two ingots of gold ingots hidden at home, she gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to push Jia Baoyu.
Although Jia Baoyu is only five years old this year, he has been raised well on weekdays and weighs several tens of catties.There were people all around, and if he bumped into him so suddenly, he might bump into someone, and Wang Xifeng would definitely be hurt.If you accidentally fall down and land on your stomach, a big accident will definitely happen.
This nanny's heart can be said to be cruel, and she is also courageous enough, even Jia Baoyu dared to use it as a raft to harm people.
Seeing this scene, Yingchun was so frightened that she almost flew out of her wits. She rushed over and tightly hugged Jia Baoyu who was leaning over, and the two siblings fell heavily to the ground.Fortunately, she was walking beside Jia Baoyu, running so fast that Jia Baoyu hadn't had time to bump into Wang Xifeng.
Such a bump and fall was nothing more than a blink of an eye. Before everyone could react, Yingchun had already fallen to the ground.
Nanny Wu's reaction was the fastest, and she didn't care about the distinction of superiority and inferiority at this moment, she rushed to Wang Xifeng's side with a stride, and held her arm firmly.
Ping'er's movements were not so quick, and he rushed over a step too late, protecting Wang Xifeng in front of him.The magpies and other little maids in the back also rushed over in a large group, and surrounded Wang Xifeng tightly.
Wang Xifeng walked in front, but didn't see what happened behind, Yingchun let out a cry of pain, Wang Xifeng turned to look, but was blocked by the people around her, she didn't see anything.
She was anxious and couldn't help but said loudly: "What happened, what happened to the second girl? Get out of the way and show me!"
In fact, Ping'er didn't see the nanny pushing people away, she only saw Yingchun suddenly running from the side, hugged Jia Baoyu and fell to one side.But she knew in her heart that this was definitely done on purpose, for the child in Wang Xifeng's belly.
Attached to Wang Xifeng's ear, and said a few words, Wang Xifeng waved his hand to stop her, and instead ordered: "First, help the second girl and the second master Bao up, and then invite Mrs. Lu to come over and show them both carefully." Look, where is it hurt?"
Although Ping'er was worried, she listened to Wang Xifeng's words and went out. There were already people serving Yingchun and Baoyu who helped them get up.
Jia Baoyu was stunned, he didn't know why he walked obediently, why suddenly someone pushed him from behind, and then the second sister rushed over to hug her.However, when Yingchun fell, he specially protected Jia Baoyu, so the little chubby was not injured, but now he was only a little frightened and couldn't recover.
On the other hand, Yingchun, who fell to the ground and was hit by Jia Baoyu, now feels terribly sore all over.But she was taught very well by Madam Xie, and she knew that this was a family scandal that should not be publicized, so when everyone asked, she only reasoned that she sprained her foot because she didn't notice it, which made Jia Baoyu tired.
But those present are all human sperm, and everyone is a master of backyard house fighting, who can't see the tricks in it.It's just that the host is covering it up, and they are not ignorant people, so they have to get to the bottom of it and ask clearly, so they just tell Yingchun to pay attention, and that's it.
"You guys are startled. It's because I didn't entertain well. Please sit down and have a cup of tea at the banquet first. I'll send my second sister and Brother Bao over there, and then I'll come back to make amends to everyone."
As soon as Wang Xifeng finished speaking, the oldest and highest-ranking princess of Xining County in the group said, "Forget it, you are so heavy, you can rest after you give it away. What kind of friendship do we have, and I still need you!" The pregnant woman came to make amends? Besides, there will be your old lady and the others during the dinner, so nothing will go wrong, we are familiar with this mansion, so we walked over by ourselves."
Even so, Wang Xifeng couldn't lose his courtesy, so he had to tell Ping'er: "Ping'er, you personally sent all the wives and grandmas there for me, and then tell the old wives and wives to make amends for me. Another day when I give birth to such an uneasy child, I invite everyone to come over with a drink, so we can have a good time."
When Ping'er led Tanchun and Xichun away with the wives and grandmas, Wang Xifeng had time to check Yingchun's injuries.The place covered by the clothes cannot be seen, but the skin of both hands and wrists has been scratched, and the bloody look is extremely scary.
Yingchun's face turned pale from the pain, but she still tucked her hands into her sleeves in front of people just now, so that no outsiders noticed.
Wang Xifeng felt very distressed when she saw it, and shouted: "Nurse Wu, take the second girl to the East Courtyard quickly, and ask Mrs. Lu to deal with her first. Magpie, go get the second master's post immediately, go The Imperial Hospital invites the Imperial Physician to come over and act quickly!"
Nanny Wu was a little worried. After all, there were too many people just now, and she didn't see the attacker. If she left with Yingchun in her arms, what would happen if someone attacked Wang Xifeng again.After all, Jia Lian specially invited her out of the palace to protect Wang Xifeng's safety.
"Listen to me, Mommy. There are so many people at the moment, and I dare not do anything to measure that person, and I'm not a vegetarian. I guess it's because I've been lazy and meddlesome in the past two months, and some people think I'm that easy to pinch." It's a soft persimmon." Wang Xifeng's face was full of fear, her whole body was full of aura, staring at the group of low people and said, "Nurse, take care of the second girl first, she is a little girl, and she is another girl. If she doesn't handle it properly, she will stay. Scars are a lifetime thing.”
Grandma Wu had no choice but to pick up Yingchun, and was about to run towards the East Courtyard, but Yingchun, who could barely hold back her pain, grabbed her sleeves: "That nanny, take them away together, I saw her pushing Baoyu away!" .”
Wang Xifeng's expression froze, and then she said softly to Yingchun, "Young girl Ying, don't worry about it, my sister-in-law will take care of these things, you can go and deal with the wound with Nanny Wu at ease, okay?"
Yingchun nodded with tears in her eyes, and was carried away obediently by Nanny Wu.Two other nuns hugged Baoyu and hurriedly followed, and they also asked Mrs. Lu to prescribe tranquilizing medicine, so as not to be shocked.
And the nanny who was just identified by Yingchun.At this moment, his legs were shaking, and he almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that there were not enough people serving here, Huang Li cleverly ran to the gate of the garden, called two housekeepers to come, and held down the nun on one side and the other on the right.
Wang Xifeng has a lot of things to do now, and she is too lazy to deal with her, so she just ordered in a sharp voice: "Gag up your mouth, tie your hands and feet, and lock you up in the woodshed of the East Courtyard, call two veterans, and watch her for me, don't let anyone If anyone approaches her, she is not allowed to die!"
"An'er, you go outside the second gate, find someone to send a message to your second master, and tell him about it. The one who came to Wang's house is not on duty today, so I called her and brought a few wives with me to tell him about this. I stole the house of the old man! Her parents, father, husband and children, all relatives, all tied up for me. If there is not enough manpower, I will go to Lin Zhixiao's family to ask for it, and say it is mine Order, if anyone dares to stop them, just tie them up!"
This resolute action greatly frightened the servants present, no matter whether they had any bad intentions in their hearts, they all restrained themselves, not daring to act like a demon again.
After standing like this for half a day, Wang Xifeng couldn't stand it anymore, and her stomach started to hurt.
She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurriedly supported the hand of a woman beside her, and said in a low voice: "Help me back to the flower hall to rest just now, please come over to Mama Gu."
What happened here, Ping'er took a moment to tell Yuanyang everything, and then left in a hurry.Madam Wu was not around, and Wang Xifeng was handicapped, so Ping'er was really worried.
Not to mention the commotion in the outer courtyard, Wang Xifeng rested in the flower hall for a full two quarters of an hour, feeling that he was recovering, so under the support of everyone, he got into the soft sedan chair and returned to the East courtyard.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lu was capable. After initially treating Yingchun's injuries, Le'er, who stayed behind, watched the decoction of the anti-fetal medicine in person and made all preparations.
The people in the East Courtyard were busy, Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg of the Jia family, was left out in the cold, and because the cause of this incident was the nun next to him, all the people were waiting to look at them, their eyes were not eyes. , the nose is not the nose.
The big maid next to him, Mei Ren, was anxious and frightened at the moment, she was already trembling with fright, but she still restrained herself and squatted next to the small stove to make soothing soup.Qilu looked at Jia Baoyu from the side, both of them were sad, with unspeakable worry and fear in their hearts.
Under their noses, such a thing happened, and Jia Baoyu was tired, Jia Shishi and Mrs. Wang must not spare them.It is Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, because of what happened today, I am afraid that they will hate Baoyu and the second room. The injury on the second girl's hand is really shocking. It hurts.
But they all saw it for real, the second girl was protecting the second grandmother from disaster this time, if it wasn't for her pounce, Jia Baoyu would definitely bump into Wang Xifeng in front, and the trouble would be even bigger then.It is estimated that no matter how loyal they are in the mansion for several lifetimes, it will be difficult for them to stay in the mansion this time. It is good to save their lives. Thinking about it this way, it is considered good now.
After the soothing soup was finished, Meiren and Qilu coaxed Jia Baoyu to drink it and fell asleep, and then sat head to head on the porch, complaining in a low voice: "Then Mother Zhao is crazy, why did she bump into Baoyu for no reason, even with The second girl and the second mistress are both tired, and those of us who are on errands today count as one, and wait to pack up and go home."
Qi Xun looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to their corner, so she curled her lips and said disdainfully: "There may be a dirty deal behind it, the wrists of the second grandma and the second master in the past two years, Everyone in the house is watching, who dares to touch their bad luck easily, and it's not that the old birthday star hanged himself, because he thinks his life is too long."
"Then Zhao Nanny used to be a good eater and a gambler, but because her mother-in-law used to nurse the second master, how could she serve the second master Bao. She doesn't hesitate to be lucky, the family is always a thief Fuck, this time the famine must have been brought on outside, and someone took it as an excuse to harm the Second Mistress, and the Second Miss was just suffering for others."
When Meiren heard this, she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand, and scolded her in a low voice: "You dare to talk about anything, you don't want to die!"
Qilu sighed, took her hand and roared in a low voice: "I just can't get angry! How come they don't care about our life and death at all when they fight against each other? I can't see the sun tomorrow."
The charming woman shed two tears when she heard the words, and quickly wiped them away with her hands, weeping and said: "Who made us slaves, we can't control our lives, and we can only do what the master wants. In the past I only think about the wealth and glory of the mansion, and now I realize that these things have nothing to do with us, and they are even death-threatening things."
After listening to Meiren's words, Qilu strengthened her conviction and said in a low voice: "This time, the second master and the second mistress will definitely not let it go. Even the old lady and the second wife will probably be furious. But after all, no one died. , the second girl covered it up again at that time, the second grandmother is about to give birth and it is not easy to see blood, so our lives will be safe."
"Sister Meiren, I want to take this opportunity to go out of the mansion. Even if I am tired all day, it is better than living a life of trembling like this. Another thing is that I am now 17 years old. Even if I don't leave the mansion now, it will only be two years. It's over if I pull it out and assign a servant to take care of things, and my children and grandchildren can see the boss, I don't want to live like this."
Meiren looked at Qilu with a face full of shock, and whispered: "Going out of the house? But we are all born at home, and we have to pay a lot of money for redemption, how can we afford it? One more thing, to put it bluntly, we are here The mansion is considered pampered, and after going out, you can’t lift your shoulders or hands, what do you live on? This is not a trivial matter, you can make a decision as soon as your head heats up, and you have to think clearly about everything.”
The more Meiren said that, the more determined Qilu became: "Sister Meiren, I have figured it out. Although I can't do physical work, my embroidery work is not bad. Even the embroiderer in the mansion praised me." Yes, even relying on this, I will not be unable to eat. Another thing, my family is also an old man in the house for several lifetimes, and I have some family property. As long as it is not sold, I will buy a few acres of land after I go out, and slowly The day went by."
"Grandma Liu in the mansion over there used to have only three acres of land for four members of her family, and she has lived in peace and stability for so many years. It can be seen that as long as people work hard, they can always survive. Sister Meiren, we two have been living in the mansion since we entered the mansion. When I was young, I was working in the same office. Although I have not been a real sister for so many years, I am better than a sister. I am impatient, and most of the time it is you who guide and take care of me. My sister is also grateful."
Meiren felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. They used to be Jia Baoyu's big maids, so naturally they competed openly and secretly, just wanting to compete.As for pointing and caring, of course there are some, but not many. Now that Qi Xun says this, it's just playing the emotional card and pulling in the relationship with each other.
The charming woman sighed, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, what should I advise you to do now? This matter is not over yet. When the guests leave in the afternoon, the second master Lian and the elder master will come back, and there are still some What a mess, where are we maidservants who can do whatever they say?"
The two big maidservants on this side bowed their heads and said nothing, while Wang Xifeng's soft sedan chair on the other side finally came back, and they didn't pay too much attention to it, they carried it directly to the corridor of the main room, and then slowly put it down.
Nanny Wu has long been guarding the door, together with another dowry nanny of Wang Xifeng, helped Wang Xifeng into the room from left to right, and let her lean on the couch.
Yingchun was also in this room. Mrs. Lu had just cleaned her wound and applied some anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment on it. She just waited for the imperial doctor to come before talking about other things.Seeing Wang Xifeng being supported up now, the little girl was so frightened that her already pale face turned pale, thinking that there was something wrong with her stomach.
"Second sister-in-law, you..."
Wang Xifeng forced a smile, and comforted her softly: "Second sister, don't be afraid, sister-in-law is fine, it's just that my legs are sore from standing for a long time, just sit and rest for a while."
Mrs. Lu had been waiting by the side for a long time, and when she sat down firmly, she reached out to Wang Xifeng's wrist in the next second, and her brows were tightened to feel her pulse.
But after a while, she stretched her brows again, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, grandma and the child are both in good health. Although I was tired and frightened today, fortunately the child loves his mother, but there is no problem." What's the hindrance. The anti-abortion drug Le'er is almost ready, and grandma will drink a bowl later, so that she can rest for a day and be fine."
As soon as Mrs. Lu finished speaking, the maids waiting in the room, including the little girl Yingchun, couldn't help clasping their hands together and chanting the Buddha, thanking the gods and Buddha for their blessings.
Wang Xifeng also breathed a sigh of relief, she had guarded against it for so long, but she never thought that she almost fell on Jia Baoyu.The child in my stomach, I owed him in the previous life, and I need to protect his well-being in this life. If there is an accident and the premature birth hurts the bones, wouldn't it be a lifetime of suffering.
It was only after she calmed down that Wang Xifeng noticed the wound on Yingchun's body. Just outside, she only glanced at it and saw that her hand was dripping with blood.Now that he was in the house, he took off his overcoat and rolled up his sleeves. Only then did he find that Yingchun's arms were bruised, and his left arm was a little stiff, and he didn't feel very flexible.
Wang Xifeng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with the second girl's arm, could it possibly hurt her bones and tendons?"
Lady Lu saw that she was in a hurry, but she dared not tell the truth, so she said in a low voice: "It's hurt. The second girl is small and her bones are brittle. It doesn't count if she fell by herself. I heard that the second master Bao still smashed her whole body." The body, how can I hold it. The left arm is just a little dislocated, and I have already put it back on, but on the right side, the bones seem to be cracked, and it will be healthy in the future."
Wang Xifeng felt a pain in her heart when she heard the words, Yingchun saved herself from a disaster today, she is pitiful at such a young age, the heaviest thing she has carried since she was a child is nothing more than a teacup, but she has encountered this disaster.
The other maids and women in the room also looked at Yingchun with pity, and their eyes were full of gratitude.They are all Wang Xifeng's confidantes, and their role is to protect Wang Xifeng's safety. Now that Yingchun saved Wang Xifeng, it can be regarded as saving their lives.
The atmosphere in the room sank for a moment, and even the sound of the branches and leaves fluttering outside the window could be heard clearly.
On the other hand, Yingchun, although her body was in severe pain, but seeing Wang Xifeng and everyone else, she suppressed her pain and said with a smile: "What is this for? I am young and grow up fast, but it will take a few days to heal. It's not worth it. If my sister-in-law loves me, why don't you give me two more boxes of snacks made by my son-in-law Zhang, and I'll eat them."
Seeing that she was already like this, Wang Xifeng still didn't forget to comfort herself. She couldn't help but her eyes were sore, and she choked up and said, "Since the second sister likes it, I will ask Nanny Zhang to make it for you every day in the future. I will keep it for you to eat." That's enough. My sister-in-law doesn't say anything now, she just remembers your love, wait until this comes out of my stomach, and then tell him to remember your aunt's life-saving grace in the future, so that he will be filial to you."
Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled, and said happily: "Then I will wait for my little nephew's filial piety. If he is disobedient, I will complain in front of my sister-in-law. You are not allowed to protect him."
Wang Xifeng patted her head
After examining the character and knowledge of these people in detail, Jia Lian spent a lot of money to hire three of them to Jia Clan School, responsible for giving free enlightenment to the children in the clan.
These few scholars have real talents. It is rare that although their families are poor, they have no eyes for superiority and inferiority. They are not like most people who have a kind of hatred for the rich.
In order for these three people to work well, Jia Lian not only paid ten taels of silver per month and four sets of clothes for each season, but also provided food and housing.He marked out three small courtyards in the back street of Jia's house, and promised that as long as the three of them worked hard to teach, they would live here for free during the period of teaching ethnology. The family sent a servant girl to take care of chores, completely eliminating their worries.
Moreover, Jia Lian also made an agreement with these people that even if they become masters in the Jia family, they will not be prevented from continuing their scientific research.And if they can pass the examinations of scholar and Jinshi, there will be additional rewards in the clan, even if they enter and leave the officialdom in the future, they can be promoted one or two.
After such a combination of punches, the three scholars were all grateful, eager to repay Jia Lian, and became more patient and strict with those ignorant children.
As for the students in the ethnology school, all of them have undergone a major change. Those who had nothing to do in the past and took advantage of the clan to spend their days here were all driven home by Jia Zhen in a rage.Even though their parents were crying and crying, and even begged Jia Shishi and Youshi, Jia Zhen didn't let go, only saying that they were disgraceful and unworthy of appearing in ethnology.
Jia Shishi and Youshi knew that Jia Zhen was really angry, and there was no need to offend him for the sake of a collateral clan, so they all made excuses, and none of them agreed.
In addition, even Jia Zhen's own only son, Jia Rong, had his arm broken and was recuperating at home, so he couldn't even attend the sacrifice on the first day of the new year.Therefore, it is not easy for these side branches to say that Jia Zhen is using public service for personal gain, so she went home angrily, and when she caught her own boy who was not up to date, she just gave him a slap, and beat them until they cried.
After driving away those ignorant children, Jia Lian said again, but all the people in the 15th house of Jia's family, between the ages of five and [-], can go to the ethnology for free.Although there is no monetary subsidy for ethnology nowadays, it provides free pen, ink, paper and inkstone, charcoal fire and clothes for the four seasons to the students who go to school.
Although the quality is not the best, it can be regarded as above-average. It is enough for a group of children to be enlightened. At least the three new gentlemen are envious.What's more, Ningrong and Rongfu also promised that if these students can pass the exam, there will be a big reward in the family. For a while, the Jia family set off a wave of reading craze.
In short, after this new year's day, the entire Jia family, no matter whether it is the direct branch or the collateral line, is having a lively time.Some people are happy and some are sad. Those who used to show off their might are now acting with their tails between their legs, and those who were bullied before are now also proud.
There are all kinds of things in the world, and human feelings are cold and warm, and that's all.
After the New Year's Eve, Wang Xifeng's belly was more than seven months old. Jia Lian and Xing's family had long been prepared for it, and Wen's mother-in-law and nurse all picked good ones to raise in the mansion, just in case.
Even the Jia Shi family attached great importance to Wang Xifeng's child, although she already had a great-grandson Jia Lan, she also had no shortage of descendants Chenghuan.But after all, their identities are different. The one in Wang Xifeng's belly is the serious grandson of the Jia family, and Jia Shishi can see it very clearly.
Looking at the people in the whole mansion, fussing about a child who has not yet appeared, not to mention how dejected Li Wan was, holding her son who was under the age of [-] and crying secretly, Madam Wang felt very uncomfortable in every possible way.
Especially the Jia Shi family, who has always regarded Jia Baoyu as his darling, now he also greets Wang Xifeng every day, showing enough concern and attention, even Jia Baoyu retreats for a while, Madam Wang can't help feeling panic .Jia Zhu has already gone, and the ones she can rely on now are Yuan Chun in the palace, and Jia Baoyu who is raised by Jia Shishi's side.
Therefore, if Wang Xifeng's newborn child steals Jia Baoyu's position in Rongqing Hall, the Wang family will never allow it.
Therefore, as Wang Xifeng was about to give birth, and Mrs. Wang's heart was on fire, her small movements became more and more frequent.
It's just that the East Courtyard was tightly controlled by Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and the four nuns who came out of the palace were not vegetarians, and Jia Shishi was guarding it, Madam Wang never found a suitable opportunity to start her cell phone.Instead, she wanted to use foreign aid, just like how she dealt with Jia Hu and Zhang Shi, she killed Jia Hu first, and then aroused Zhang Shi's mind, almost killing Zhang Shi twice.
It's a pity that Wang Xifeng is different from those of Zhang's natal family, and now she is just trying to save face.After experiencing sister Qiao being betrayed and Ping'er slamming into the door to death in her previous life, she didn't clean up that scumbag with her own hands, it was because of her blood relatives, let alone because of them up.
And knowing that someone would play tricks, Wang Xifeng didn't go out of the East Courtyard in his spare time, and only took a walk in the small garden of the main courtyard.Even so, when she was walking, she was surrounded by trustworthy maids and servants, making sure that there was not a single drop of water on the ground, and that there was no stone on the road, so that all dangers were nipped in the bud.
Mrs. Wang became more and more anxious, half a month later, it would be the day when Wang Xifeng gave birth, and it would be too late if she didn't act.
At this time, Mrs. Wang hated her niece even more. She ate things that crawled inside and out. Even though everyone was surnamed Wang, she helped Da Fang deal with her aunt, which cost her a lot of manpower.If she hadn't set the strings by herself, would she have married Jia Lian and become the head grandmother of the Rongguo Mansion?I really don't know how to flatter me!
On the first day of March, the Jia family was extremely lively, because this day was originally Mrs. Wang's 40th birthday.
Although Mrs. Wang has been silent for the past two years, she still gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Jia family. The eldest daughter is still working in the palace, so it is not good to treat her poorly.Therefore, Jia Shishi specially ordered to entertain the close wives and grandmas of each family, set up a few tables in Jia's flower hall, and held a small banquet.
Jia Shi, Xing and Mrs. Wang talked with several old Gaoming and old concubines in Rongqing hall.The other wives and grandmas of the younger generation were sent out by the elders to enjoy the flowers and play games in the small flower hall.
As Mrs. Wang's natal niece and her husband's nephew and daughter-in-law, Wang Xifeng certainly had to show up on such occasions.Surrounded by Ping'er and Nanny Wu, she appeared in the small flower hall with her nine-month pregnant belly.
"Hey, Second Grandma Lian's stomach is about to give birth, right?" Niu Shi, the wife of Duke Shanguo, looked at Wang Xifeng and exclaimed in a low voice in surprise, "You look like you are well-raised. It doesn’t look bloated either, so you’ll suffer less when it’s time to give birth.”
Wang Xifeng laughed and said: "It's all about the kindness of the old ladies and wives, and the maids and women at home are also attentive, plus the nuns are taking care of me, I eat and drink, and only care about enjoying myself."
Next to him is Li Guogong's wife, Mrs. Chen, who is the eldest daughter of Qi Guogong's Chen family. She is three years older than Wang Xifeng, and she has been friends with Wang Xifeng since she was in her boudoir.Now I have a son under my knees, who will be about two years old. The birth was a bit rough, and almost killed half of her life. Since then, her body has been injured, and she has not conceived in the past two years.
Mrs. Chen herself suffered from childbirth, and when she heard Wang Xifeng's words, she didn't quite agree with her, and told her: "Young girl Feng's words are unreasonable. A woman who is pregnant in October and gives birth in the first day is a wanderer behind the gate of hell. How can you say that?" What kind of enjoyment is it? Your baby is well-raised, and it is estimated that you will give birth this month. You have to be more careful in the past few days. When you have nothing to do, let the maid help you to walk more, so that the delivery will be smoother. "
"Don't dislike me for being long-winded. After all, I have experienced it myself. I can't bear to see you suffer this."
This is a good intention, of course Wang Xifeng will accept it, she replied with a smile: "Sister Chen's kindness, I know, these old ladies have confessed, after three meals a day, I will walk along the small garden for half an hour , Firstly to digest food, secondly to exercise, I dare not stop for a day.”
Several people were sitting and talking together, when Yingchun led Tanchun, Xichun, and Jia Baoyu who looked like a red envelope came over.
After this year, Yingchun will be eight years old, and now she has begun to look like a young adult, and she looks very decent with her younger brothers and sisters.This time Mrs. Wang's birthday banquet was arranged by Mrs. Xing and Yingchun because Wang Xifeng was inconvenient.
Facing the group of wives from the family of four princes and eight princes, Yingchun was not timid or afraid, and saluted first in a graceful manner, and then said clearly: "Ladies and grandmas, lunch is ready, please move forward dining room."
The princess of Xining County held Yingchun's hand, looked it up and down, and couldn't help admiring: "I didn't praise you. I don't know how to raise the second girl of your family. This whole body is full of style, full of beauty." Looking at the past, the capital is top-notch. She is only eight years old now, so capable, which wife would not envy? It is the one in my family. At her age, she is not as good as her."
Wang Xifeng replied with a smile: "I can't be praised by the princess of the county. She is a villain, but she is just fighting with our wife. It is not a problem to share the burden. It is not worthy of you to praise her like this. Your small county The Lord is good, just now on the way I came here, I saw her leading several girls, fluttering butterflies in the garden."
"The appearance is handsome, and the bearing is gentle. He can't be more kind and courteous to the younger brothers and sisters. Coupled with the character of this family, ouch, it really deserves to be brought up by the princess of the county. Where are the few in our family? It’s comparable to a burnt paper.”
As soon as Wang Xifeng's humble words came out, several other wives spoke one after another:
"Second Grandma Lian's words are really modest. Although the girls in your family are not very old, they have extraordinary bearing. They will definitely be well-known ladies in the capital in the future."
"That's right. I really love how the second girl of your family behaves. If it weren't for my family not having a son of the right age, I would have settled down with your old lady a long time ago."
"Oh, Mrs. Shi is right. Although I don't have a son of the right age, my natal nephew is only ten years old this year. He is also a good-looking person. Now he is studying poetry and books. His mother is very strict. You can always protect the family if you say that people fall for the land. Second Mistress, how about we get closer?"
In the end, the one who got married was Ma Shi, the second daughter-in-law of Duke Xiu's family. Her eldest aunt, Mrs. Zhi Guo, was the married daughter of the Wang family. Wang Xifeng logically wanted to call her aunt.The four princes and the eight princes are all related to each other. If you look through the genealogy, almost every household has children and relatives by marriage, and those who turn around can be related.
Mrs. Ma said this just to get in touch with Jia's family and Wang Xifeng and his wife.Everyone knows that Jia Lian is now a celebrity in front of the eyes. In the past year or so, he has produced new fireworks, glass, soap and other profitable things. I heard that the people in the Ministry of War almost broke their heads in the court to fight for those things.
Unlike the Jia family who gradually retired from the army after the death of those in power, Ma's natal family and husband's family are still in the military.Her own husband and younger brother are now either in the army or serving as errands in the military department. If they have good things, they will naturally think of their own family.
Wang Xifeng was very clear about her thoughts, even though the Shi family retreated completely in their previous life, they were the only ones in Ba Kilometer who survived.But Yingchun is still young, and Wang Xifeng is just a sister-in-law, so she doesn't intend to settle her marriage right now, and tell her underage daughter's family, even if the general's family rules are loose, Shi's family has passed.
Yingchun had long been shy and hid beside Wang Xifeng. Ping'er saw that her face was flushed, and her footsteps moved slightly to block her view, so that she could feel more at ease.
Wang Xifeng was neither soft nor hard, and said back to Shi Shi: "You are still an elder, there are so many girls in the room, how can you say such things? Besides, my second sister is still young, our wife loves her so much. Yes, I won’t see you for a while, I can’t even eat, I advise you, don’t think about it.”
When Shi heard the words, he realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, and his expression was a little embarrassing for a moment. When the other people saw him, he quickly changed the topic: "Didn't you say that the banquet is over? Let's go now, don't let the master wait I'm in a hurry. Besides, I'm waiting for a meal today, and I even missed two bites of breakfast, so I'm already hungry now."
Wang Xifeng didn't hold back any more, and smiled to accompany her: "It's my fault, I just messed around with the Shi family sister, and I forgot the time. Please, please, today, our family specially invites you The chef from Guangfu Building came to the house, I heard that their seafood is excellent, you should try it more."
The group left the flower hall talking and laughing, and went straight to the banquet hall for dinner.
Due to the large number of people, Ping'er and Nanny Wu were surrounded by the crowd, and moved away from Wang Xifeng little by little.Ping'er was the first to notice it, and couldn't help but feel anxious, thinking of returning to Wang Xifeng's side as soon as possible, but she is just a maid, surrounded by noble ladies from various families, how could she go on a rampage?
Nanny Wu was also in a hurry. After she came out of the palace and came to Jia's house, she has been fed with good food and drink, and she no longer has to fight with others to live.What I have to do every day is to protect Wang Xifeng from accidents when the attendants are by her side when she goes out for a walk.Compared with the days when the palace was full of open guns and dark arrows, this life can be said to be very comfortable now, and Nanny Wu cherishes it very much.
No, seeing that Wang Xifeng had left her protection range, Madam Wu thought about it, she came from the Empress Dowager's palace, and she has some status when she saved the Empress Dowager several times before and is in trouble now.In addition, Wang Xifeng was about to give birth after all, and the people around were also paying attention. Seeing her peaceful expression, they quickly gave way to her.
At this moment, one of the nuns who followed Jia Baoyu rolled her eyes and pulled Jia Baoyu to walk quickly a few steps calmly, and landed right behind Wang Xifeng.
Seeing Jia Baoyu swaying towards him, Yingchun thought he had something to do, so she moved slightly in this direction.She walked lightly, and the nanny was concentrating on looking for an opportunity, trying to trip Wang Xifeng, but she didn't notice.
There were people on both sides of Wang Xifeng, and Ping'er and Nanny Wu were about to arrive soon, but the nanny still didn't find a chance to not be discovered.She thought of Mrs. Wang's coercion and temptation, and the two ingots of gold ingots hidden at home, she gritted her teeth and stretched out her hand to push Jia Baoyu.
Although Jia Baoyu is only five years old this year, he has been raised well on weekdays and weighs several tens of catties.There were people all around, and if he bumped into him so suddenly, he might bump into someone, and Wang Xifeng would definitely be hurt.If you accidentally fall down and land on your stomach, a big accident will definitely happen.
This nanny's heart can be said to be cruel, and she is also courageous enough, even Jia Baoyu dared to use it as a raft to harm people.
Seeing this scene, Yingchun was so frightened that she almost flew out of her wits. She rushed over and tightly hugged Jia Baoyu who was leaning over, and the two siblings fell heavily to the ground.Fortunately, she was walking beside Jia Baoyu, running so fast that Jia Baoyu hadn't had time to bump into Wang Xifeng.
Such a bump and fall was nothing more than a blink of an eye. Before everyone could react, Yingchun had already fallen to the ground.
Nanny Wu's reaction was the fastest, and she didn't care about the distinction of superiority and inferiority at this moment, she rushed to Wang Xifeng's side with a stride, and held her arm firmly.
Ping'er's movements were not so quick, and he rushed over a step too late, protecting Wang Xifeng in front of him.The magpies and other little maids in the back also rushed over in a large group, and surrounded Wang Xifeng tightly.
Wang Xifeng walked in front, but didn't see what happened behind, Yingchun let out a cry of pain, Wang Xifeng turned to look, but was blocked by the people around her, she didn't see anything.
She was anxious and couldn't help but said loudly: "What happened, what happened to the second girl? Get out of the way and show me!"
In fact, Ping'er didn't see the nanny pushing people away, she only saw Yingchun suddenly running from the side, hugged Jia Baoyu and fell to one side.But she knew in her heart that this was definitely done on purpose, for the child in Wang Xifeng's belly.
Attached to Wang Xifeng's ear, and said a few words, Wang Xifeng waved his hand to stop her, and instead ordered: "First, help the second girl and the second master Bao up, and then invite Mrs. Lu to come over and show them both carefully." Look, where is it hurt?"
Although Ping'er was worried, she listened to Wang Xifeng's words and went out. There were already people serving Yingchun and Baoyu who helped them get up.
Jia Baoyu was stunned, he didn't know why he walked obediently, why suddenly someone pushed him from behind, and then the second sister rushed over to hug her.However, when Yingchun fell, he specially protected Jia Baoyu, so the little chubby was not injured, but now he was only a little frightened and couldn't recover.
On the other hand, Yingchun, who fell to the ground and was hit by Jia Baoyu, now feels terribly sore all over.But she was taught very well by Madam Xie, and she knew that this was a family scandal that should not be publicized, so when everyone asked, she only reasoned that she sprained her foot because she didn't notice it, which made Jia Baoyu tired.
But those present are all human sperm, and everyone is a master of backyard house fighting, who can't see the tricks in it.It's just that the host is covering it up, and they are not ignorant people, so they have to get to the bottom of it and ask clearly, so they just tell Yingchun to pay attention, and that's it.
"You guys are startled. It's because I didn't entertain well. Please sit down and have a cup of tea at the banquet first. I'll send my second sister and Brother Bao over there, and then I'll come back to make amends to everyone."
As soon as Wang Xifeng finished speaking, the oldest and highest-ranking princess of Xining County in the group said, "Forget it, you are so heavy, you can rest after you give it away. What kind of friendship do we have, and I still need you!" The pregnant woman came to make amends? Besides, there will be your old lady and the others during the dinner, so nothing will go wrong, we are familiar with this mansion, so we walked over by ourselves."
Even so, Wang Xifeng couldn't lose his courtesy, so he had to tell Ping'er: "Ping'er, you personally sent all the wives and grandmas there for me, and then tell the old wives and wives to make amends for me. Another day when I give birth to such an uneasy child, I invite everyone to come over with a drink, so we can have a good time."
When Ping'er led Tanchun and Xichun away with the wives and grandmas, Wang Xifeng had time to check Yingchun's injuries.The place covered by the clothes cannot be seen, but the skin of both hands and wrists has been scratched, and the bloody look is extremely scary.
Yingchun's face turned pale from the pain, but she still tucked her hands into her sleeves in front of people just now, so that no outsiders noticed.
Wang Xifeng felt very distressed when she saw it, and shouted: "Nurse Wu, take the second girl to the East Courtyard quickly, and ask Mrs. Lu to deal with her first. Magpie, go get the second master's post immediately, go The Imperial Hospital invites the Imperial Physician to come over and act quickly!"
Nanny Wu was a little worried. After all, there were too many people just now, and she didn't see the attacker. If she left with Yingchun in her arms, what would happen if someone attacked Wang Xifeng again.After all, Jia Lian specially invited her out of the palace to protect Wang Xifeng's safety.
"Listen to me, Mommy. There are so many people at the moment, and I dare not do anything to measure that person, and I'm not a vegetarian. I guess it's because I've been lazy and meddlesome in the past two months, and some people think I'm that easy to pinch." It's a soft persimmon." Wang Xifeng's face was full of fear, her whole body was full of aura, staring at the group of low people and said, "Nurse, take care of the second girl first, she is a little girl, and she is another girl. If she doesn't handle it properly, she will stay. Scars are a lifetime thing.”
Grandma Wu had no choice but to pick up Yingchun, and was about to run towards the East Courtyard, but Yingchun, who could barely hold back her pain, grabbed her sleeves: "That nanny, take them away together, I saw her pushing Baoyu away!" .”
Wang Xifeng's expression froze, and then she said softly to Yingchun, "Young girl Ying, don't worry about it, my sister-in-law will take care of these things, you can go and deal with the wound with Nanny Wu at ease, okay?"
Yingchun nodded with tears in her eyes, and was carried away obediently by Nanny Wu.Two other nuns hugged Baoyu and hurriedly followed, and they also asked Mrs. Lu to prescribe tranquilizing medicine, so as not to be shocked.
And the nanny who was just identified by Yingchun.At this moment, his legs were shaking, and he almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that there were not enough people serving here, Huang Li cleverly ran to the gate of the garden, called two housekeepers to come, and held down the nun on one side and the other on the right.
Wang Xifeng has a lot of things to do now, and she is too lazy to deal with her, so she just ordered in a sharp voice: "Gag up your mouth, tie your hands and feet, and lock you up in the woodshed of the East Courtyard, call two veterans, and watch her for me, don't let anyone If anyone approaches her, she is not allowed to die!"
"An'er, you go outside the second gate, find someone to send a message to your second master, and tell him about it. The one who came to Wang's house is not on duty today, so I called her and brought a few wives with me to tell him about this. I stole the house of the old man! Her parents, father, husband and children, all relatives, all tied up for me. If there is not enough manpower, I will go to Lin Zhixiao's family to ask for it, and say it is mine Order, if anyone dares to stop them, just tie them up!"
This resolute action greatly frightened the servants present, no matter whether they had any bad intentions in their hearts, they all restrained themselves, not daring to act like a demon again.
After standing like this for half a day, Wang Xifeng couldn't stand it anymore, and her stomach started to hurt.
She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she hurriedly supported the hand of a woman beside her, and said in a low voice: "Help me back to the flower hall to rest just now, please come over to Mama Gu."
What happened here, Ping'er took a moment to tell Yuanyang everything, and then left in a hurry.Madam Wu was not around, and Wang Xifeng was handicapped, so Ping'er was really worried.
Not to mention the commotion in the outer courtyard, Wang Xifeng rested in the flower hall for a full two quarters of an hour, feeling that he was recovering, so under the support of everyone, he got into the soft sedan chair and returned to the East courtyard.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lu was capable. After initially treating Yingchun's injuries, Le'er, who stayed behind, watched the decoction of the anti-fetal medicine in person and made all preparations.
The people in the East Courtyard were busy, Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg of the Jia family, was left out in the cold, and because the cause of this incident was the nun next to him, all the people were waiting to look at them, their eyes were not eyes. , the nose is not the nose.
The big maid next to him, Mei Ren, was anxious and frightened at the moment, she was already trembling with fright, but she still restrained herself and squatted next to the small stove to make soothing soup.Qilu looked at Jia Baoyu from the side, both of them were sad, with unspeakable worry and fear in their hearts.
Under their noses, such a thing happened, and Jia Baoyu was tired, Jia Shishi and Mrs. Wang must not spare them.It is Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, because of what happened today, I am afraid that they will hate Baoyu and the second room. The injury on the second girl's hand is really shocking. It hurts.
But they all saw it for real, the second girl was protecting the second grandmother from disaster this time, if it wasn't for her pounce, Jia Baoyu would definitely bump into Wang Xifeng in front, and the trouble would be even bigger then.It is estimated that no matter how loyal they are in the mansion for several lifetimes, it will be difficult for them to stay in the mansion this time. It is good to save their lives. Thinking about it this way, it is considered good now.
After the soothing soup was finished, Meiren and Qilu coaxed Jia Baoyu to drink it and fell asleep, and then sat head to head on the porch, complaining in a low voice: "Then Mother Zhao is crazy, why did she bump into Baoyu for no reason, even with The second girl and the second mistress are both tired, and those of us who are on errands today count as one, and wait to pack up and go home."
Qi Xun looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to their corner, so she curled her lips and said disdainfully: "There may be a dirty deal behind it, the wrists of the second grandma and the second master in the past two years, Everyone in the house is watching, who dares to touch their bad luck easily, and it's not that the old birthday star hanged himself, because he thinks his life is too long."
"Then Zhao Nanny used to be a good eater and a gambler, but because her mother-in-law used to nurse the second master, how could she serve the second master Bao. She doesn't hesitate to be lucky, the family is always a thief Fuck, this time the famine must have been brought on outside, and someone took it as an excuse to harm the Second Mistress, and the Second Miss was just suffering for others."
When Meiren heard this, she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand, and scolded her in a low voice: "You dare to talk about anything, you don't want to die!"
Qilu sighed, took her hand and roared in a low voice: "I just can't get angry! How come they don't care about our life and death at all when they fight against each other? I can't see the sun tomorrow."
The charming woman shed two tears when she heard the words, and quickly wiped them away with her hands, weeping and said: "Who made us slaves, we can't control our lives, and we can only do what the master wants. In the past I only think about the wealth and glory of the mansion, and now I realize that these things have nothing to do with us, and they are even death-threatening things."
After listening to Meiren's words, Qilu strengthened her conviction and said in a low voice: "This time, the second master and the second mistress will definitely not let it go. Even the old lady and the second wife will probably be furious. But after all, no one died. , the second girl covered it up again at that time, the second grandmother is about to give birth and it is not easy to see blood, so our lives will be safe."
"Sister Meiren, I want to take this opportunity to go out of the mansion. Even if I am tired all day, it is better than living a life of trembling like this. Another thing is that I am now 17 years old. Even if I don't leave the mansion now, it will only be two years. It's over if I pull it out and assign a servant to take care of things, and my children and grandchildren can see the boss, I don't want to live like this."
Meiren looked at Qilu with a face full of shock, and whispered: "Going out of the house? But we are all born at home, and we have to pay a lot of money for redemption, how can we afford it? One more thing, to put it bluntly, we are here The mansion is considered pampered, and after going out, you can’t lift your shoulders or hands, what do you live on? This is not a trivial matter, you can make a decision as soon as your head heats up, and you have to think clearly about everything.”
The more Meiren said that, the more determined Qilu became: "Sister Meiren, I have figured it out. Although I can't do physical work, my embroidery work is not bad. Even the embroiderer in the mansion praised me." Yes, even relying on this, I will not be unable to eat. Another thing, my family is also an old man in the house for several lifetimes, and I have some family property. As long as it is not sold, I will buy a few acres of land after I go out, and slowly The day went by."
"Grandma Liu in the mansion over there used to have only three acres of land for four members of her family, and she has lived in peace and stability for so many years. It can be seen that as long as people work hard, they can always survive. Sister Meiren, we two have been living in the mansion since we entered the mansion. When I was young, I was working in the same office. Although I have not been a real sister for so many years, I am better than a sister. I am impatient, and most of the time it is you who guide and take care of me. My sister is also grateful."
Meiren felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. They used to be Jia Baoyu's big maids, so naturally they competed openly and secretly, just wanting to compete.As for pointing and caring, of course there are some, but not many. Now that Qi Xun says this, it's just playing the emotional card and pulling in the relationship with each other.
The charming woman sighed, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, what should I advise you to do now? This matter is not over yet. When the guests leave in the afternoon, the second master Lian and the elder master will come back, and there are still some What a mess, where are we maidservants who can do whatever they say?"
The two big maidservants on this side bowed their heads and said nothing, while Wang Xifeng's soft sedan chair on the other side finally came back, and they didn't pay too much attention to it, they carried it directly to the corridor of the main room, and then slowly put it down.
Nanny Wu has long been guarding the door, together with another dowry nanny of Wang Xifeng, helped Wang Xifeng into the room from left to right, and let her lean on the couch.
Yingchun was also in this room. Mrs. Lu had just cleaned her wound and applied some anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment on it. She just waited for the imperial doctor to come before talking about other things.Seeing Wang Xifeng being supported up now, the little girl was so frightened that her already pale face turned pale, thinking that there was something wrong with her stomach.
"Second sister-in-law, you..."
Wang Xifeng forced a smile, and comforted her softly: "Second sister, don't be afraid, sister-in-law is fine, it's just that my legs are sore from standing for a long time, just sit and rest for a while."
Mrs. Lu had been waiting by the side for a long time, and when she sat down firmly, she reached out to Wang Xifeng's wrist in the next second, and her brows were tightened to feel her pulse.
But after a while, she stretched her brows again, exhaled lightly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, grandma and the child are both in good health. Although I was tired and frightened today, fortunately the child loves his mother, but there is no problem." What's the hindrance. The anti-abortion drug Le'er is almost ready, and grandma will drink a bowl later, so that she can rest for a day and be fine."
As soon as Mrs. Lu finished speaking, the maids waiting in the room, including the little girl Yingchun, couldn't help clasping their hands together and chanting the Buddha, thanking the gods and Buddha for their blessings.
Wang Xifeng also breathed a sigh of relief, she had guarded against it for so long, but she never thought that she almost fell on Jia Baoyu.The child in my stomach, I owed him in the previous life, and I need to protect his well-being in this life. If there is an accident and the premature birth hurts the bones, wouldn't it be a lifetime of suffering.
It was only after she calmed down that Wang Xifeng noticed the wound on Yingchun's body. Just outside, she only glanced at it and saw that her hand was dripping with blood.Now that he was in the house, he took off his overcoat and rolled up his sleeves. Only then did he find that Yingchun's arms were bruised, and his left arm was a little stiff, and he didn't feel very flexible.
Wang Xifeng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked: "What's the matter with the second girl's arm, could it possibly hurt her bones and tendons?"
Lady Lu saw that she was in a hurry, but she dared not tell the truth, so she said in a low voice: "It's hurt. The second girl is small and her bones are brittle. It doesn't count if she fell by herself. I heard that the second master Bao still smashed her whole body." The body, how can I hold it. The left arm is just a little dislocated, and I have already put it back on, but on the right side, the bones seem to be cracked, and it will be healthy in the future."
Wang Xifeng felt a pain in her heart when she heard the words, Yingchun saved herself from a disaster today, she is pitiful at such a young age, the heaviest thing she has carried since she was a child is nothing more than a teacup, but she has encountered this disaster.
The other maids and women in the room also looked at Yingchun with pity, and their eyes were full of gratitude.They are all Wang Xifeng's confidantes, and their role is to protect Wang Xifeng's safety. Now that Yingchun saved Wang Xifeng, it can be regarded as saving their lives.
The atmosphere in the room sank for a moment, and even the sound of the branches and leaves fluttering outside the window could be heard clearly.
On the other hand, Yingchun, although her body was in severe pain, but seeing Wang Xifeng and everyone else, she suppressed her pain and said with a smile: "What is this for? I am young and grow up fast, but it will take a few days to heal. It's not worth it. If my sister-in-law loves me, why don't you give me two more boxes of snacks made by my son-in-law Zhang, and I'll eat them."
Seeing that she was already like this, Wang Xifeng still didn't forget to comfort herself. She couldn't help but her eyes were sore, and she choked up and said, "Since the second sister likes it, I will ask Nanny Zhang to make it for you every day in the future. I will keep it for you to eat." That's enough. My sister-in-law doesn't say anything now, she just remembers your love, wait until this comes out of my stomach, and then tell him to remember your aunt's life-saving grace in the future, so that he will be filial to you."
Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled, and said happily: "Then I will wait for my little nephew's filial piety. If he is disobedient, I will complain in front of my sister-in-law. You are not allowed to protect him."
Wang Xifeng patted her head
