The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

So even though Wang Guizhi kept people from hiding it, he couldn't hide it until Hua Chaobai. On the third day of March, Wang Xifeng first learned about it from his father's letter, and told her that he would come to Beijing in the near future to take her away. Brother Wang Ren took him back to Jinling to discipline him strictly, and told her not to give money in private, and even if he came, she was only allowed to serve tea and dinner.

Ping'er, who was standing by the side, saw that grandma's complexion was not good, so she wanted to distract the matter, "Grandma, it will be our uncle's birthday in a few days. Although the elders in the family are all here, it is not appropriate to make a big deal. But why don't you, grandma?" We have to host a table to congratulate our talented master, right?"

Connecting last year's Qiu Wei and this year's Chun Wei, Jia Lian had a try, and went from a child to a scholar one after another. Everyone was so happy, the old lady hugged the uncle and praised her, and even rewarded her grandma. A four-season wall hanging carved with silk and ink, the ninth day of March is the uncle's birthday, and grandma has to get ready early.

Wang Xifeng had been thinking about this for a long time, so she asked her father to find a set of four treasures for her study as a gift for her grandfather, but unexpectedly, her aunt had a miscarriage.

Alas, my aunt is already in her forties, and she finally got another one, but she couldn't keep it. The boat was bumpy and rough, and she must have some symptoms again. How can this be a joke, just hiding it They, even my uncle, have to be by the side from time to time, I'm afraid they don't know what's going on.

Wang Xifeng was originally worried about one thing. She didn't want her aunt's health to be bad, and so was her mother-in-law and eldest wife... If the old lady knew about it...but if she didn't talk about this matter, something big was waiting to happen. How come?Don't talk about her, even Big Brother Zhu doesn't know how to feel sad.

Seeing Ping'er talking, Ning'an didn't agree with her grandma, she pouted on the embroidered curtain stool outside, she was thinking how to get close to grandma again, but the four of Funing and Ping'an were too difficult, and Jia's rules were too strict, Compared with the palace, there is a servant rule. Last time she wanted to be lazy and go out for a stroll, she was stopped by a woman in the flower hall and scolded her severely. She twisted her to her grandma, making her faceless for a while.

Seeing that Ping'er was also neglected for a while, Ning'an was happy in her heart.

"Grandpa is back."

Jia Lian walked in without paying attention to Ning An's gaze. He pulled out the bead curtain and walked into the room. When he saw Wang Xifeng, he said, "What's the matter with you? Brother Zhu and I just came back from the outside, and we just happened to catch up with Wang Xifeng. Treasure Shop came here to deliver pickled marinade and bad goods to the old lady, and the old lady asked us to go to her place for dinner." He opened his arms and Funing and the two untied his outer robe and put on his inner clothes.

Seeing him like this, Wang Xifeng cheered up and said, "Of course it's good, I've been thinking about the red-stewed chicken feet for a long time."

Seeing that her eyes were red, Jia Lian waved them all back, sat beside her and hugged Wang Xifeng to his lap, "What's the matter?" He glanced at the envelope on the black wood and gold lacquer table , coaxing, "But parents wrote, are you homesick?"

Thinking about it, I still need to tell him, so Wang Xifeng put his arms around his neck and cried, "Last year, the second wife had a miscarriage, and she has been bedridden since then, and my second uncle has been with me all this time. Beside her..."

"There is such a thing?" Jia Lian was also surprised, and he hurriedly asked, "It's true."

"How dare I lie to you, my father said in a letter, and I don't know what's going on with my aunt over there, but they keep it from us and dare not tell us." At this point, Wang Xifeng couldn't help crying in his arms Cry out loud.What if something happened to my aunt?

Jia Lian hesitated for a moment, then took her hand and wanted to go to the old lady, "Come on, we should ask the old lady for advice on this matter." He took her hand and sighed, "The old lady also said The first day of March is the second wife's birthday, so it's easy for people to give gifts."

Jia Min brought Lin Daiyu and Lin Yu over to play in the Rongqing hall, and they talked lively. Seeing Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng coming, Jia Min was about to speak, when he saw Jia Lian asking her, she lifted her robe and knelt down, and her niece and daughter-in-law also knelt down with red eyes. When he got down, he had to stand up.

When Jia Mu saw the posture of the two, she asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Xifeng bowed her head in tears and said nothing, but it was Jia Lian who said in a deep voice, "Old lady, the second lady is ill, and she hasn't gotten out of bed for two or three months..." He also said with a serious heart. My aunt has always treated them very well and has a good temper. Gentle and amiable, thinking of her various advantages, Jia Lian, a young man who will reach the weak crown, also feels sad.

"What!" Mother Jia trembled when she heard this, she stood up trembling and asked, "Where did you know? I don't know anything!" She was anxious and angry at the same time. Leaning on crutches, she asked repeatedly, "Where's the boss? Where did the old man go? And Pearl, what did he do? What happened to such a big event, you all kept it from me, you all kept it from me..." She sighed heavily , tremblingly sat back on the couch, tears rolled down his eyes, "Poor..." After all, my husband Rongzi is expensive, but I am sick and in pain. brunette...

When the old lady got angry, Jia She didn't care about being negligent, and kept urging the horses and horses to hurry up. Even Mrs. Li knew about it, and hurriedly asked someone to change her clothes.

Jia Mu looked at them and snorted coldly, "You are all my good sons and daughters-in-law, how do you manage the family? This family is not good, sick, and you still keep it from me!" If Lian'er hadn't said it out , what will happen then?What is the condition of the disease? If there is no cure there, just go home as soon as possible.She also thought that Dr. Zhang followed her, and thought that even this Immortal Zhang couldn't cure her, and she didn't know what kind of serious illness it was, "Quickly tell me, what's going on?"

Mrs. Li used to burn oil and light wax in her early years, and when she got older, she became even more mentally ill when she took charge of Jia's family. Fortunately, after marrying Wang Xifeng, she shared a lot of burdens, otherwise she would have exhausted her mental energy even more. , but when she heard the old lady questioning like this, she was really wronged, and quickly explained, "The old lady said that we dare not deny it, but we honestly didn't know that our younger brother and sister were sick." After she said a few words, she felt very tired Panting, she almost sat down. She herself is not in good health, and she understands the suffering of this illness. Thinking about the benefits that Wang Guizhi has done to her before, she is not sad, "If I knew it earlier, I would have let it go Lian'er went to see it with medicinal materials. You just want to think, isn't it..."

Jia Lian hurriedly knelt in front of Mrs. Li to support her, and Jia's mother said, "Help the eldest lady to sit down." Seeing that her complexion was gray, most of her anger was gone, "You are not in good health, why are you here?" She Pointing at Jia She and said, "I only ask you!"

Jia She frowned, "I really didn't hear about it in Zhenwei Restaurant, but Marquis Jinxiang asked me a few days ago, and I just thought it was his servant who confused his wife with younger siblings." "He couldn't help being a little annoyed, these two places are too far away from the capital, the news keeps coming back and forth, and no one knows exactly what's going on.

"He kept it a secret, hum!" Mother Jia saw that they were really ignorant, so she couldn't blame Jia Zheng anymore, so she had to blame Jia Zheng. Mother, you should know, right?It's not easy for a woman to conceive a child. They were all closed in hell, and now they don't know what the situation is, which is really worrying.

Thinking that there was a letter from Jia Zhu asking if she could come over, she refuted it, and Jia's mother couldn't help but feel a little guilty, what if she was really seriously ill, "Hurry up and get Zhu'er back, let Zhu'er Daughter-in-law hurry up and pack your luggage, and let them go to Guangdong and Guangxi to see."

"Hurry up!" Seeing that Jia Amnesty was still in a daze, Jia's mother really wanted to give him a kidnapping, and thinking that he hadn't done anything these days, and she didn't know what was going on with her son over there, so she just Seeing that Jia Amnesty was displeased, "What have you been doing these days? Your wife is so sick that she runs around all day long, and your granddaughter is already there. I beg you to be more spiritual."

He was a little ridiculous a few years ago, and he didn't see the old lady say anything.Jia Amnesty only thought that he had suffered an innocent disaster, but he could only listen and dare not answer.

After something like this happened, the old lady was naturally not in the mood to let them have dinner together, and even Jia Min had to take Lin Daiyu to leave in Linyu.

"Grandma, why did you come back? Didn't you say that you will stay at Jia's house for two days and come back after the master rests?" Lin Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo took her hand, and she stepped forward to ask a question.

But Jia Min didn't answer, she just asked the nanny to carry Lin Yu back to bed in the house and sleep, "Yu'er, come with me to the study."

"Yes, mother." Lin Daiyu followed Jia Min to the inner study, "Mom, do you want to write a letter?"

Jia Min nodded, she also knew that although her daughter was weaker, she was extremely intelligent, "You also write to your cousin to say hello, alas, I'm afraid they are at this time..." She was in grief, Ruo Ruo lost Mother, the children are the most pitiful. When Jia Min thought of this, she couldn't help but pat her daughter's head. In the early years, the second sister-in-law taught a sentence in the kindergarten. At that time, she thought it was too straightforward and vulgar. Now After tasting it, I feel that this is really the case, a child without a mother is like a grass.

Just after Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian returned to the house, Ning'an came forward and said, "Grandma, Zhou Rui's family is here to see you."

"Quickly call in." Wang Xifeng was thinking about where to ask questions. Zhou Rui's family is the wife's companion. Although he didn't go to Guangdong and Guangxi with him, he should be in charge of the affairs of the mansion there. After all, he should be clearer than them is.

Zhou Rui's family saw that someone was coming to take her in, so they hurriedly told Grandma Liu who was behind her, "Grandma, you wait here, and if I get back later, I will take you in."

"Thank you very much!"

Grandma Liu hurriedly cupped her hands and thanked her in advance.

Zhou Rui's family squatted down towards Wang Xifeng, and then looked up to see Jia Lian was there, and hurriedly saluted Jia Lian, and said, "The second master is also there, but my mother-in-law didn't see it." The eldest son, Jia Zhen is the eldest, and Jia Lian is the second.

Jia Lian didn't care, "You just have to answer your second grandmother's words." He just saw that it was his aunt's companion outside, and wanted to hear it for himself.

Zhou Rui's family was stunned for a moment, but they also responded respectfully, "Of course." Although the second wife is not at home, there are many things about people coming and going. There are rules for these things, and she just cares about forwarding them. When grandma Liu came to see her, her wife was not there, and the good virtues she had accumulated before were not good, so she dismissed it like this. Fortunately, the second grandma was there, and she was also from the Wang family, so she could arrange to talk about it.

Wang Xifeng asked eagerly, "What's wrong with my aunt?"

?

Zhou Rui's family looked suspicious, and she couldn't help asking, "Is my wife sick?"

The author has something to say:

That's how the rumors spread, hmm.

Wang Guizhi: ...I'm fine!

(Did you guess the timeline in the original book?)
