Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

After Li Mo and the others had almost eaten, they took a few children and walked towards Xue's house. They didn't want to take a carriage, but they didn't seem to see any carriages passing by.

There is no way, a few people can only walk over first, two adults and four children, except for Li Mo, who practiced the nameless exercise, the others are women, children and children, and they have been in prison for more than a month. After walking for a long time, I was too tired to move.

Seeing their speed, Li Mo might not be able to reach Xue's house until dark, so he could only say:

"Daughter-in-law Zhu, look at their children. I'll go a little farther and find a carriage or an ox cart. I don't know how far it is from Xue's house now!"

Li Wan herself couldn't take it anymore. If it wasn't for her helplessness, she would have wanted to call it a stop. Hearing what Li Mo said, she nodded quickly and said:

"Well, Ma'am, don't worry, I will take good care of them, you go and come back quickly, we will wait for you under the eaves over there!"

Li Mo looked at the eaves that only extended a little, which was better than being in the open air, at least it could help block the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"Okay, then wait there for me to come back!"

Li Mo looked at the thin clothes on the children, and his face was already a little blue from the cold, so he hurried to find the carriage without further ado.

Li Wan and the others looked at Li Mo's figure walking in the snow very easily, and thought a little enviously, if only their bodies were as good as hers.

After such a toss in the prison, the few of them also realized how important it is to have a healthy body. Li Wan said to Jia Lan who was still very ignorant:

"Lan'er, look at the eldest wife who has suffered so much and is still in such good health. It can be seen that she paid great attention to physical exercise in the past. In the future, you have to learn how to exercise from the eldest wife so that you can have a good body. You know ?"

It was because of poor health that Jia Zhu died of illness at a young age, leaving only Li Wan and Jia Lan as posthumous children. With this lesson, and this time in prison, Li Wan realized that there is a good How important your body is.

Jia Lan was held by Li Wan with one hand, she nodded in a very sensible way and said:

"Well, Lan'er knows, and she will definitely exercise well in the future."

In comparison, Heng An and Jia Zong, two people who have been exercising under Li Mo's request, have gone through so much trouble and walked such a long way, the situation is much better than that of Jia Lan and Jia Huan. After talking to Jia Lan, Wan also realized the purpose of her mother asking her to exercise every day.

Hengan and Jia Zong were not bullied too thoroughly when they were fighting with those children in prison because they had a good body. Seeing Li Mo walking on the snow as if walking on flat ground, the two of them I also silently made up my mind that I must exercise more seriously in the future.

As for the rest of Jia Huan, he didn't think about anything. He was full of thoughts about how to beg Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai to rescue his aunt after he got to Xue's house.

Not long after Li Mo left, he found a carriage that could be rented, and went over to discuss the rent with the coachman. Unexpectedly, the coachman agreed to let Li Mo rent a carriage after asking for a tael of silver.

Seeing the other party's expression of no discussion, considering that the sky is a little dark now, and it may not be long before there will be more snow, Li Mo can only grit his teeth and agree.

When Li Mo returned to the place where Li Wan and the others were waiting in the carriage, they were already shivering from the cold. Seeing Li Mo sticking out half of his body from the carriage, they realized that there was a carriage to do, and their His eyes lit up instantly.

After picking them up in the carriage, Li Mo told the coachman the address of Xue's house, and the carriage drove all the way towards Xue's house under the careful driving of the coachman.

After walking for more than an hour, everyone arrived at the gate of Xue's house. Li Mo and others got out of the carriage. When they looked at the gate of Xue's house, they found that it had only been more than a month, and the current Xue's house seemed to be dilapidated. a lot.

The stone lions at the entrance were covered with snow, and there was also a thick layer of dust on the gate. It can be seen that life in the master's house is not easy, and even the servants have no intention of taking care of the environment in the house.

Li Mo knocked on the door for a while, and after waiting for a long time, he heard the sound of someone opening the small door. A servant-like person stretched out his head to look at Li Mo and the others, and asked:

"This is the Xue family, who are you looking for?"

Li Mo looked at the other party's unattractive face, and said very politely:

"We are the female relatives of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion. Have Baochai and the others returned to the mansion?"

The concierge remembered that the young lady who had just returned ordered that the people from Jia's family would come over later to make him pay attention. He looked at Li Mo and the others in a bit of a panic, and then said:

"You guys wait, I'll ask the master before I can talk!"

After the concierge finished speaking, he slammed the door shut, obviously not paying much attention to the Jia family who had been ransacked.

Li Mo had seen this kind of person a lot, but he didn't pay much attention to it. It was the first time that Li Wan and the others who were waiting at the side met such a rude servant, and they were a little confused for a while.

After the concierge closed the door here, I thought these Jia family members were here to fight the autumn wind. Even if the Xue family is almost collapsed now, it is much better than the Rongguo Mansion that has been ransacked, at least the family still has some wealth.

Here, Xue Baochai has brought Jia Baoyu, the old lady Jia and the others to Xue's house, hugged and cried for a while with Mrs. Xue who was sick in bed, and had a good meal. Kong started to speak.

Madam Xue saw Xue Baochai who had lost a lot of weight and had a very bad complexion, she cried and said:

"My poor Baochai, why are our mothers' lives so hard? Your brother is about to die. How can I live like this!"

Xue Baochai looked at the ruined and depressed state of the mansion, pulled out a bitter smile, and said:

"Mother, my brother is only locked in prison now, and he said he will be executed after next autumn. As long as we think about a way, it doesn't mean that my brother will definitely die. Maybe there will be a turning point in the middle!"

For Mrs. Xue, Xue Fan is her lifeblood and the backbone of the Xue family. Without her precious son, she would not even want to live.

Hearing what Xue Baochai said, Mrs. Xue asked a little uncertainly:

"Baochai, is what you said true? Your brother can still be saved. As long as I can save your brother's life, I'm willing to go bankrupt! Without your brother, the remaining family property of the Xue family is useless. It’s better to find a way to use these things to exchange your brother’s life.”

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Baochai, cried and said:

"If the Rongguo Mansion hadn't collapsed, why would we have nowhere to ask for help now? Now that the Rongguo Mansion is gone, what are your plans for the future, daughter?"

Xue Baochai gave a wry smile when she heard the words. After calculating for so long, after going around in circles, she never thought that her life would be worse than before, and said:

"Now that the Rongguo Mansion has been ransacked, my daughter and I don't have anything special to do, and I can only live from day to day in the future. Now I still have to find a way to clear up my brother's affairs, and I can't let him be beheaded. Yes, mother, do you think so?"

"Well, yes, I have sent people to go outside to inquire about the news, and see if there is any way to save your brother. Listen to what you said just now, other members of the Jia family will come to our Xue family later. For the Jia family, you What do you think, do you plan to let them live in our Xue family in the future?"

Xue Baochai was silent for a while, and then said:

"Let's take a look at these things in a few days. Our Xue family's life is not easy now. If it's not suitable, let them make plans after they recover! Now everyone has just come out of the prison, and there is no other place to go. , let them live in the mansion for a few days first!"

Seeing Mrs. Xue's displeasure, Xue Baochai persuaded:

"Before, our Xue family went to Beijing to seek refuge in Rongguo Mansion, and lived in their mansion for so long. Now that the Jia family is in trouble, if we don't even want to let them live for a few days, others don't know how to organize our Xue family. Besides, my daughter has married into Jia's family now, so she can be regarded as a member of Jia's family, so it's not easy to go too far."

Mrs. Xue has always been a person who listens to her son and daughter's ideas. Seeing what Xue Baochai said, she stopped paying attention to the Jia family and just said:

"Well, the Jia family is no longer the Jia family of the past. Baochai, you know what to do with them. Now that you are back, it happens that I don't have much energy to take care of the Xue family's affairs. You can just come back and help the leader. !"

"Well, mother, you can relax and recuperate. My daughter will support you in everything. I will always pay attention to my brother's affairs. You don't have to worry too much."

Mrs. Xue had talked for so long, if she lost her energy, she nodded and said:

"Well, fortunately, daughter, you didn't have anything fatal. Otherwise, how can I, a mother, live? At least I can feel a little comforted when you come back."
