A visit to Fangchun

Wang Xifeng mobilized early after the Chinese New Year. Counting the days, it was more than a month earlier.

Live seven lives and eight do not live, everyone's hearts suddenly hang in their throats.

The birth of the first child was slow, she was in pain for a day and a night before giving birth, but she was a younger sister.

Mrs. Xing, who had been sitting and waiting in the middle of the yard, suddenly raised her face, answered a few words of the story, and walked away.

Li Wan is the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room. Even if Jia Zhu died, she would leave Jia Zhu a posthumous child.Jia Lan is now considered the biggest one in Rong Mansion's generation.

Wang Xifeng is the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house. After two or three years of turmoil, she got pregnant and made such a fuss. In the end, she only gave birth to a sister!

The news was sent to the foreign study, and Jia Amnesty also felt uncomfortable. Looking at the table full of more than a dozen cursive characters with excellent meanings that he had drawn up, he slowly rolled them up and stuffed them on the bookshelf. He sighed and waved. Waving: "Forget it, since they are daughters, let the husband and wife choose their own names."

Only Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang hurriedly sent ginseng soup in, and sipped coptis for the child.Jia's mother also specially told Jia Lian herself: "For a family like ours, boys and girls are precious, so you are not allowed to be unhappy, and you are not allowed to make her angry during confinement!"

Wang Xifeng heard this, kowtowed on the pillow with tears in her eyes, and asked Yuanyang to tell Jia's mother: "My grandson-in-law died without regret."

Mother Jia shook her head and sighed, and ordered the big kitchen herself to arrange confinement meals for Wang Xifeng, so that she could make up for her weakness as soon as possible.

Sister Ying Tanxi naturally heard of Mrs. Xing and Jia She's behavior, and felt extremely disdainful.Xichun was young, so she couldn't help pulling Yingchun and asking: "Second sister, when you were born, were you like the eldest sister?"

——Since the men in the family don't name girls, everyone calls them "big sister" and "big sister".Zuo Zuo is also the first girl in Rong Mansion's generation, so there is nothing wrong with being called Big Sister.

Seeing Yingchun, Tanchun immediately sank down, pulled Xichun and shook his head, and comforted Yingchun: "Don't think too much, fourth sister likes to joke."

Yingchun shook her head with the corners of her mouth bent, and sighed softly: "I can't compare to the eldest sister. My mother is just an aunt, and when I was born, it was difficult to give birth. When I was born, my aunt also let go. Listen to my mother, we At that time, the master was so angry that he smashed the wine cup in his hand, saying that being a girl is unlucky enough, and he even beat his mother to death. So he never waited to see me..."

Jia Tanchun felt even more sad when he heard that, and Jia Xichun also knew that he might have said something wrong, so he came up and took Yingchun's hand and said, "Second sister, I don't have a mother, and having a father is the same as not having a father. We two are good friends." , regardless of others."

Jia Yingchun smiled softly, put her arms around Xichun's shoulders and read the chess record together.He actually forgot about Jia Tanchun.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, Madam Zhang smiled awkwardly, wanting to explain something to Tanchun.Why does Tanchun care about this?She shook her head with a smile, and said in a low voice: "No matter how bad I am, I am much better than the two of them. Both of them have no mothers, but I have two mothers..."

Nanny Zhang smiled wryly.

The third girl can really think about it, and dare to say it.

Wang Xifeng finished confinement quietly.The house also seemed to be back to normal.Jia Tanchun counted the time with his fingers and couldn't help sighing, the good days are not long.

Sure enough, before the end of spring, the news came: Jia Min, the youngest aunt in the Jia family and the most beloved daughter of Jia's mother, died of illness.

Mother Jia fainted with the letter, and everyone hurriedly invited the imperial physician and called the whole family together.Waking up, Jia's mother cried loudly.

White-haired people send black-haired people.My own daughter was not yet 30 years old, how could she die like this?Jia's mother was crying like hell, she kept asking Lin Ruhai to settle the score.

The son-in-law of Jia's mansion is surnamed Lin, his name is Hai, and his characters are like Hai, and he is a first-class romantic scholar.His ancestors attacked Liehou, and he was a Tanhua with a previous record. He became a doctor of Lantai Temple and won the emperor's favor, so he was appointed to be a government official, and went to the south of the Yangtze River to help the court manage the salt government, so he was also called the Xunyan Yushi.This is the first fat difference in history.Lin Ruhai is high-minded, much cleaner than others.The emperor was naturally happy, and he was put on the Weiyang ground for more than ten years.

In the past ten years, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have been loving couples.It's just that Lin Ruhai has always been in poor health, so it's difficult for the two of them to live together.Mr. Jia Min gave birth to a son, who died when he was three years old.Later, she gave birth to a daughter named Daiyu.Now Jia Min doesn't know whether she misses her son too much, or her body was damaged during the birth of Daiyu, and she died in the end.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are ten years older than Jia Min, and this younger sister who came a few years later was the treasure held in the hands of the two brothers.Now I suddenly say that there is no one, and I am very sad.

For a while, the Jia family was gloomy, and even Wang Xifeng, who loved to joke the most, didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of everyone, but just carefully served Jia's mother's diet and daily life.

Seeing Jia's mother getting thinner and thinner, Jia Tanchun felt strange and worried.

It is written in the original text that when Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, no one in Jia's mansion gave Jia Min filial piety.Judging from the time when the Dream of the Red Chamber was written, it was the time when the Qing Dynasty valued these filial piety etiquettes the most. The serious aunts of the Jia family passed away. From Jia Amnesty to Jia Huan, married girls and aunts should wear mourning clothes made of coarse linen , to serve a nine-month mourning period.But when Lin Daiyu arrived at Jia's mansion, Jia's mansion was dressed in red and green, and there was no trace of filial piety at all.

If it is said that Jia's mother doesn't care about this daughter, the mansion dares to be so negligent; it is justified.But now it seems that Jia's mother loves Jia Min deeply.Why is it that under such circumstances, no one in Jia's mansion has proposed to wear mourning for Jia Min?

Jia Tanchun didn't have time to explore the reason, because if Jia's mother was left alone, she would really fall down.There is no way, I can't do my part.

Jia Tanchun quietly called Yingchun, Xichun, and Baoyu together, and discussed with them how to coax Jia's mother: "Nowadays, the master and wife are busy, and there are housework that cannot be let go, and it is impossible to do it all day long. Watching over the old lady and urging us to go to school. Otherwise, we will take shifts and take one day off every day, just to laugh with the old lady, even if it is wiping dominoes, teasing birds, and making people listen to books and plays on birthdays. You can't let the old lady stay alone. It's easy to get sad when you're getting old. My aunt is gone at such a young age. It's hard to guarantee that the old lady won't think about it. Look at it, the old lady has lost a lot of weight in just three or five days. .”

Jia Baoyu nodded hastily, frowning: "I want to just guard my ancestors every day."

Jia Tanchun stared at him: "Even if the old lady and wife are willing, the master will not be happy. Aren't you afraid that he will find fault with you again?"

Jia Yingchun nodded: "Third sister is very right. Now we are just right. I can be regarded as the master and wife of our family, the fourth sister is for their master and grandpa, and the third sister is for the second master and wife. We take turns to accompany the old lady, and the whole family is filial. Just right."

Jia Tanchun raised his eyebrows.She really wanted to say that Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang asked Baoyu to represent them, and she represented Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan.

Sure enough, the four of them stayed with Jiamu next to each other, and never let the old lady stay alone for even a quarter of an hour except to sleep.

After seven or eight days, Jia's mother finally understood, and she was relieved, so she hugged Baoyu and sobbed: "At last, I didn't hurt you in vain."

Yuanyang was kind and kind, so he told her with a smile: "I heard about this, this is the third girl who saw the old lady lose weight in the past few days, and was so anxious that her mouth was blistered, so she drove the servants out that night, sisters and brothers are like this. It's okay to discuss it like this. Now that the old lady has survived the most uncomfortable days, she should also know that you have so many filial people, and you should take care of yourself for these filial people. "

Jia Mu sighed, nodded wearily, and asked Baoyu's birthday with a smile in her arms.

Jia Baoyu was a little confused, birthday?What birthday?What kind of day is this, the ancestors still remember their own birthday?

"Grandpa, it's only been a month since my aunt passed away, what kind of birthday can I have?"

Mother Jia just remembered.yes!When her daughter died, she did not harm her.But why are there no traces on the body of other people in the family?This is, don't you plan to wear filial piety for Jia Min?

Mother Jia's face darkened, and she gritted her teeth lightly.

This Wang Xifeng doesn't know how the Wang family raised her!She doesn't even understand this kind of human relations gift!

However, Mother Jia wronged Wang Xifeng in this matter.

It turned out that three days after the news of Jia Min's death came, Jia's mother hurriedly ordered Jia Lian and Jia Zheng to go to Yangzhou to express condolences.The two uncles and nephews were busy on the road, entrusting all the family affairs to Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng's impression of Jia Min was very vague. Seeing Mrs. Wang's indifferent attitude, she didn't take it seriously. She still has a baby to take care of. There are so many housework, and she racks her brains every day on how to make Jia's mother eat more. Things, accidentally neglected.

Mrs. Wang is naturally familiar with these etiquettes, but when she thinks of Jia Min's high-spirited and domineering attitude at home when she was not married, she is already stupid, so how can she compare to her childhood photo? The little mouth that Jia's mother taught herself?So back then, I suffered from the uselessness of this sister-in-law.

However, because Jia Mu gave birth to Jia Min late, the labor process was difficult, and there were few daughters in that generation, so this daughter was raised like an eyeball.Even if he saw his daughter embarrassing his second daughter-in-law, he just pretended not to see it, and he didn't even say a word of admonition behind his back, not to embarrass an honest person.

Mrs. Wang was sullen for a while because of this.Fortunately, Jia Zhu was born in the next year, followed by Jia Yuanchun, and he finally felt proud.

But Jia Min then married Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai was the Tanhua Lang of that year, a suave and gentle gentleman.Not only is there a scholarly family from generation to generation, but I am not even the slightest bit of a dandy, and although I am not very proficient in officialdom, it is just because of lack of experience.

Like a beautiful family member like a flower, like Mr. Yulang.

When seeing a couple of newcomers come to bid farewell to Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang felt a strong jealousy in her heart, which was always like ancient well water.
