A visit to Fangchun

But Mother Jia waved her hand indifferently: "What's the hurry, she came early. She has always been weak, and the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is too humid, which is very different from our family's eating rules. It will take more care. When she comes, she must bring her usual prescriptions. At that time, there will be time to prescribe her medicine."

Then they gathered around Jia Mu and talked about other things.

The mansion finally looked like a dead aunt, and all the popular things in the mansion were put away one after another.Everyone's clothes, except Jia Mu's body, Yuanyang carefully changed into elegant and clean colors, while the others put on filial piety uniforms in a piece of white.The servants used to wear blue, brown, blue, black and other clothes that are durable and easy to wash, but now they wear burlap belts around their waists to suit the occasion.

The East Mansion also got the news, and immediately changed into plain clothes of Xiaogong or hemp according to the etiquette of the death of the cousin's wife.

All of a sudden, all the old friends in the capital got the news, thinking of how delicate and noble this daughter of Jiamu was in those days, and how coquettish and laughing, they couldn't help but sigh to themselves—if it wasn't for the age It's really inappropriate, Jia Min was almost taken into the palace by the late emperor.Now he is only around thirty years old, and he has lost his soul and disappeared in a foreign land, sending gifts one after another to express his distress.

There are even more acquaintances, such as Princess Nan'an, who actually invited Princess Jia to talk to her in person.Speaking of Jia Min who played together back then, the concubine cried with Jia Mu for a whole day. Before leaving, she heard that she had gone to pick up Lin Daiyu, and hurriedly told Jia Mu: "When the child comes, you must bring it to me. Look. If there are too many people and troubles in your place, it’s actually worth living with me for a while.”

Mother Jia thanked her again and again, and lay down when she came back.

When Jia Tanchun heard about it, he thought Concubine Nan'an was embarrassing Jia's mother, so he hurried over to find out what happened.Yuanyang smiled and said: "The concubine and the old lady were friends in the boudoir back then, how could they embarrass the old lady? It's just that the two old people talked about the aunt and concubine, and then thought of the daughter of the concubine who died young, and then talked about other life friends. The children in the family, and most of them have daughters who can't stand up at the age of 30, and they get sad endlessly."

Only then did Jia Tanchun feel relieved, and said: "Although the old lady is sad at home, she still holds back a lot to prevent us from worrying. Now I have been crying heartily with the concubine for a whole day, although it looks a bit I can't hold it anymore, but it's a good thing that the depression in my heart can be released. Sister Yuanyang pays more attention. Our brothers and sisters are nearby, so call us if you have anything to do."

Yuanyang agreed with a smile, and asked her to go back and rest earlier.Turning around and entering the room, seeing Jia's mother awake, he said Jia Tanchun's words, then smiled and pointed to the Bisha closet opposite the bedroom and said: "Speaking of it, girls are careful. Look at Baoyu, you are not at home, he After playing like crazy for a day, I was so tired that I fell asleep early in the morning."

Mother Jia smiled nonchalantly, then ordered a cold handkerchief to cover her eyes, and said, "What do you do for a boy who has been raised so carefully? I have pampered him too much in the past. Could it be that he is really taking care of a girl?" Can’t raise it? Let him go crazy.”

Yuanyang helped Jiamu take off her makeup, helped her lie down, put on a cold handkerchief, and gently rubbed the sun for her. After a while, Jiamu fell into a deep sleep.

On the other hand, Jia Tanchun watched Jiamu's opportunity to go out, and quietly asked Aunt Zhao to come to his room, and asked her, "Why doesn't Huan'er go to school?"

Aunt Zhao smiled wryly: "In the past few days, this and that happened. After the second grandma gave birth to a daughter, the old man was uncomfortable all day long. I asked your father in private, and he murmured and said wait, said Brother Cong, who is a concubine from the old man's side, is about to go to school, so let's talk about it together. These days I taught Huan'er to read a few words. He is smart and can read very well. I thought I would take this opportunity to tell your father again. , who knew Aunt Min would happen. Now that your father is gone, who else should I ask?"

Jia Tanchun nodded slowly.

Aunt Zhao took the opportunity to ask: "Look, girl, who goes to school with Huan'er?"

Jia Tanchun's heart moved, and he asked her: "What does Auntie think?"

Aunt Zhao was a little embarrassed, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "My brother is also idle now..."

Jia Tanchun sneered in his heart, secretly thinking that you are here!Instead, he looked solemn, and said in a low voice: "My aunt mentioned him, and I have something important to discuss with my aunt."

Aunt Zhao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked her to speak.

Jia Tanchun glanced at her, lowered his eyes, and said softly: "My aunt should know that the person who is most willing to listen to her around my ancestor is not any wife or grandma, or even Baoyu, but—"

Aunt Zhao nodded sharply: "Yuanyang! I know this. That child is kind and fair. She only helps others and never harms others. She is a rare girl!"

Jia Tanchun looked at her meaningfully: "Does Aunt know what's going on in Yuanyang's house?"

Aunt Zhao frowned and thought, and said for a long time: "I only know that she has an older brother named Jin Wenxiang, and her sister-in-law seems to be the head of the old lady's laundry. Oh, there should be an older sister, but the blood collapsed after two years ago. .Her parents—seems to be in the old house?"

Jia Tanchun was a little surprised. It seems that Aunt Zhao is really an inquisitor and she is very well-informed: "Exactly. Her father Jincai is old, and her mother is a little deaf, so she simply asked the master to go to the old house in Jinling to look at the house. , live a leisurely life."

Aunt Zhao was a little confused, because she asked: "Miss mentioning this, is she asking my brother to make friends with Jin Wenxiang?"

Jia Tanchun shook his head again and again: "If Yuanyang was making out with her brother and sister-in-law, Jin Wenxiang's daughter-in-law would have already been in charge of the lady with Yuanyang's face in front of the old lady, so how could she be just a laundry boss? I want to ask Zhao Guoji to do it, It's to make friends with her father!"

Aunt Zhao was stunned.

Jia Tanchun lowered his voice and said carefully: "Yuanyang is a son of a family, and she can stand out among all the girls because she is really good. But Jincai was decent back then. But now Yuanyang is walking beside the old lady. No, but Jin Wenxiang is in love with the wealth and honor of the capital, and he is unwilling to go home to take care of his elders. It is conceivable that the masters can't take care of him. Now it is the time when no one is around the old Jincai couple. If Zhao Guoji Time to help..."

If Zhao Guoji could go to Jinling at this time, as Jia Huansheng's uncle, he would make friends with him and help him in everything-Jin Cai and his wife are already old, but they will be gone in three to five years.If it was Zhao Guoji who ran back and forth to send them off, I don't expect Jin Wenxiang to do anything, but Yuanyang, a kind and kind child, will definitely repay his kindness!Then in front of the old lady, Jia Huan and Jia Tanchun, don't they have a huge help compared to others? !

The more Aunt Zhao thought about it, the brighter her eyes became, and finally her face flushed with excitement, her fingers trembling as she pulled the handkerchief: "Young lady is clever!"

Jia Tanchun smiled slightly, glanced outside meaningfully, and continued softly: "I will teach my aunt how to tell the master..."
