every spring [comprehensive]

Xue Pan said coldly: "It's useless to know earlier! It's a certainty that the king of Nan'an is collaborating with the enemy and treason. The Ministry of Criminal Affairs has already agreed on the verdict. You still hope that they will be found two days later and have two more days of freedom. Otherwise, they will be arrested." After that, it will be a death penalty." Xue Pan waved his hands to the left and right: "Do it!" So hundreds of officers and soldiers filed in and searched everywhere. Once in the capital, as long as you move out as a slave of the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, you can walk sideways. Now even the masters have become prisoners.Not to mention those servants, if they survived by chance in the future, they would be sold as official servants again. They are also human servants, and their status will be the difference between the sky and the mud.

With the ransacking of the Nan'an Prince's Mansion, the emperor reformed the administration of officials and began to attack and rectify the camp of veteran nobles. Many families who had a close relationship with the Nan'an County King's Mansion were implicated.The aristocratic family has been passed down from generation to generation, and there are always a few unfilial descendants, so no one is really innocent, it depends on the attitude of the emperor, if you really want to deal with which one, just ask the Ministry of punishment to investigate There are several charges.Concubine Zhou in the palace was drained from her natal family, Zhou Shilang's family, and Concubine Zhou was also thrown into the cold palace and demoted as a permanent presence.

In the court these days, the censor will participate in the performance almost every day, making those old officials feel insecure. Unfortunately, Jia Zheng was also involved. Fortunately, the matter is not too big. The emperor looks at Concubine Jia's face More investigations should be done on him, but being an official in court is considered a top priority, which made Jia's family very anxious for a while.

Unfortunately, during this period, Lin Daiyu was ill, and the maid, Zijuan, didn't know who to tell. She wanted to go back to Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, because they were all busy with Jia Zheng's enlistment. So Zijuan didn't dare to hand over the affairs of the inner house to them, so Zijuan planned to go back to the old lady, but it happened that the old lady was also sick. If she said that Miss Lin was also sick at this juncture, she would recruit the old lady even more up.

Lin Daiyu's body is not like other people's bones, she is born weak, even a cold can kill her, naturally the more it drags on, the worse it gets.When Mrs. Xue came to Jia's house to visit them when she was free, Lin Daiyu had been bedridden for a few days. She knew that everyone in the house was busy, so she also ordered Zijuan not to report back so as not to cause trouble for others.

Seeing Lin Daiyu's situation, Mrs. Xue was very surprised and said, "Why didn't I hear that you are so sick? Have you consulted a doctor? What kind of medicine are you taking?" It's okay, I don't mind." He coughed a few times while talking.

Zijuan plopped and knelt down in front of Mrs. Xue and said: "Auntie, you are the only one who can take care of our girl. How about not seeing a doctor or taking medicine, because everyone in the house is busy, and I haven't heard about the girl's illness yet." Pay it back!"

Mrs. Xue was surprised and said: "What! Isn't this nonsense? No matter how busy you are, you can't delay seeing the doctor to get the medicine." Then she turned to Daiyu and said, "Since you call me mother, you have to obey my control, but You can't let your own temperament ruin your body." She said to Xueyan beside her: "Go back to your second grandma now, just tell me what I said, Miss Lin has been ill for several days, let her quickly call a doctor " Xueyan agreed and went happily.

Lin Daiyu said: "Calling you mother will only cause you trouble. It's a pity that I am stuck here every day, like a useless person. If I have half the ability of Sister Bao, I will always be by your side and make you happy." gone."

Mrs. Xue said: "Silly boy, you each have your own advantages. When you recover from this illness, I will take you to live there to relax, lest you stay in one place all the time, and you will get sick even if you are not sick." .”

Seeing Daiyu, Mrs. Xue frowned slightly, as if she always had a sense of inadequacy, and asked: "Son, don't think I'm talkative. I was born in such a family. I know that the servants of the Jia family have a lot of snobbish eyes, but you have the love of the old lady, forgive them for not doing anything. What is your weakness? Why do you always look preoccupied? I see your illness, It's clear that you are thinking too much."

How could Lin Daiyu not know what she was worrying about all day long, but the shame of being a daughter of a family must never be revealed.Although Mrs. Xue loves her, if she opens her mouth to mention important matters of marriage, even her stepmother will despise her.

Zijuan stayed by her side all day, so she naturally knew what Lin Daiyu was thinking. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was embarrassed to speak, she had to mention it as a maid, and said while serving tea: "Madam, to tell you the truth, our girl is gradually It's getting bigger, life-long events have to be put on the agenda, but it's a pity that Master Lin and Mrs. Lin were unable to make decisions for our girl before they were alive. It's not a good idea to stay in Jia's house. The girl will always have to leave the cabinet when she grows up. You I also know that our girls have always been delicate and thoughtful, even in this mansion, after all, it is not our own home but a guest, if we let them go to discuss marriage..."

Lin Daiyu shouted coquettishly: "Zijuan! In front of the godmother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Mrs. Xue said: "You let her say, this is a good girl, she can think ahead of you in everything, and she can pay attention to things that we can't take care of for a while, so she really thinks about you."

Mrs. Xue said to Daiyu again: "I understand your thoughts, I will definitely make the decision for you and Baoyu's marriage! I will talk to the old lady later, so you can relax, and you will be at ease after the doctor has come to see it. recuperate."

Lin Daiyu was so ashamed that she covered her head under the quilt: "Mother!" At this time, I heard Mrs. Xue say that Lin Daiyu is better than taking a dose of good medicine. It is time for someone to take the initiative to mention her marriage. There were rumors in Jia's house before The old lady began to discuss marriage with Baoyu again, saying that she had taken a fancy to some lady from the magistrate's family. If she hadn't heard these words, Lin Daiyu would not have suddenly become so seriously ill.

After Mrs. Xue asked someone to talk, Wang Xifeng came over in person after a while.As soon as she arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she pleaded guilty to Daiyu: "It's all because I've been busy with other things recently, and I didn't take care of it for a while, which caused my sister to be wronged. I have already sent someone to invite a doctor, and I will be able to talk."

Daiyu said embarrassingly: "Second sister-in-law, don't say that. It is because I know you are busy every day that I dare not bother you with this little illness, but I didn't expect that the more you procrastinate, the worse it will be. I have no strength for two days."

Wang Xifeng held her down to prevent her from getting up, and said: "You are still young, so you don't know the severity. This illness will not be delayed. If my aunt hadn't come over today, I would have to work for a few days without coming in. It would be a serious illness if I became seriously ill." gone."

Mrs. Xue said: "Since Brother Feng is here, sit with your sister for a while, and wait for the doctor to see the illness and get the medicine before leaving. I will go and see the old lady."

In Jiamu's room, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing are all paying their respects in her upper room.The old lady Jia said: "My aunt hasn't been here for a long time. Although I live far away, relatives should visit often. I still want to pack up and go to your place in time for a good day!"

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "The old lady wants to go there, so I will be ready at any time at home. This time I just went to the garden to see Miss Lin, and asked her age, only to find out that she is also fifteen. How quickly these days have passed, the year we first entered Beijing, she was only as high as the old lady's chest, and now she is already a slim young girl."

Jia's mother smiled lovingly and said, "That's right. In a blink of an eye, the children are all grown up."

Mrs. Xue said: "Since Daiyu's child recognizes me as a godmother, I am willing to think more about her. Now I have something to discuss with the old lady about her. Don't think I am too busy." Jia Mother said: "How come, I often tell her, "Treat your wife like your own mother, and she is willing to listen to you in everything. "

Mrs. Xue said: "Since that is the case, then I will say that Daiyu is old enough to discuss marriage. I wonder what you think Baoyu should be compatible with her?"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback: "Baoyu?"

Jia's mother nodded very satisfied: "I think these two Yu'er grew up with the same intention. Look, what I said just hit my heart!" She thought again, Lin Daiyu has no one but herself. What kind of relatives, relatives are too thin, it is best for Mrs. Xue to raise this matter, which is open and decent.It doesn't look like it was arranged by her, an old woman, and it will arouse the dissatisfaction of Baoyu's parents.

Jia Mu said to Mrs. Wang: "Why do you think they are not worthy, not like a couple?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Baoyu is loved by the old lady. You have always treated him like a pearl and a treasure. The marriage you arranged for him must be the best. It's just that Miss Lin is weaker? I just listen to Brother Feng. Said, I just invited a doctor again today." Mrs. Wang is indeed the head of the Jia family, the head of everything, but don't marry a sick child for the marriage of the only son!

Jia Mu paused, and then quickly sent someone to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to ask, "Look at what kind of disease Miss Lin is suffering from, and what medicine did the doctor prescribe? Is it important?"

Mrs. Xue said: "Daiyu's body is okay, she is weaker than others, but this is her natural condition. You can't trust the words of other doctors, but you should believe the words of our Baochai, she said. Daiyu has been recuperated by her a long time ago. This time it was just an occasional cold, and none of us would get sick three or five times a year. Baoyu is also my nephew, and it is too late for me to love him. If Daiyu is not a Okay, how can I say yes to them!"

Jia Mu smiled and said: "That's the reason! They have been together since they were young, and it's not that they haven't blushed, but no one has bumps and bumps. When their teeth touch their lips, they are good when they are good." They look like one person, I have long wanted to make them a pair, but I didn’t say it because of my young age, today’s proposal from my aunt’s wife is my wish, what does my wife think?”

Although Mrs. Wang was very dissatisfied, but the old lady had already spoken to this extent, what else could she do?I had to say: "It's good for the old lady to make the decision."

Jia's mother didn't seem to see her reluctance, and said directly: "Since you want me to be the master, then I have to be the master for them once, so let's make it so!" He said to Mrs. Xue again: " The two of them are engaged, so they can't be as ignorant as before."

Mrs. Xue said very knowledgeably and interestingly: "I've thought about this a long time ago. Since I've decided on the family name, I really shouldn't live in the same place. Even if I live in the mansion and the garden separately, it's too much. If you get too close, you always bow your head and don't see you looking up. Don't ruin the blessings of their young couple. It's better to let Daiyu go back with me and let her marry in our house. I am her godmother, and she and Baochai are also She has long been like a sister, and the old lady in my place doesn't have to worry about her being wronged."

Jia Mu said happily: "That's great! I'm going to bother my aunt during this time!"

Mrs. Xue also said with a smile: "It's too late for me to let Daiyu stay with me!" She has now learned not to care about Mrs. Wang's likes and dislikes, some people are cold-hearted no matter how much you care about them Yes, no matter how many catties of hot charcoal you put in, it will not be hot, so let her go.

Although Mrs. Wang is also dissatisfied that one is her mother-in-law and the other is her own sister, the two of them talked and laughed and decided on her son's marriage, but now facing Mrs. Xue, she always feels a little guilty, and she dare not argue with her. For Jia Mu, she has no right to make a decision, and this is the only way to go.

So Lin Daiyu moved from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden to Xue's Mansion. Although she was still under the fence of others, she was very happy to move this time, because after her cold weather improved, Mother Jia chose an auspicious day and asked Mrs. Xue to be a witness , so she made a marriage agreement with Baoyu. Naturally, she could no longer live in Jia's mansion, so she only took two close maids, Zijuan Xueyan, to live in Xue's mansion.It doesn't matter to Xue Pan and Xue Biao's marriage from top to bottom of the Xue family, because Daiyu will marry from here in the future, and all matters related to marrying her daughter must be prepared.
