Weiyang of the Red Mansion

"Baoyu, you don't even have the courage to tell me that you want to see Yu'er, so why bother to pester me? The older sisters in your family aren't close enough for you? Not to mention, your cousin from the Xue family, Don't you like it very much? And the cousin of the historian, don't you still like it very much? If you are like this to everyone, don't come to pester Yu'er. Yu'er's father has long said that Yu'er is not allowed to talk to You are too close, Baoyu, you are a smart boy, do you understand what uncle means?"

Baoyu is now at the age when his love affair has just begun, but he bumps into Daiyu who is going to visit Jia Shishi in the West Mansion.

In the past two or three years, Daiyu was in Ningguo Mansion, and the food and drink were carefully prepared by Jia Fu. The weak disease brought about by Daiyu's womb had been completely cured long ago, so that after returning to Yangzhou last year, Jia Fu quickly Then I received a letter of thanks from Lin Ruhai, thanking him for curing all the weak diseases brought out of Daiyu's womb.

Naturally, Jia Fu didn't take it seriously, it's all trivial.

Baoyu has been reading some crooked books recently, which were collected by the servants around him. Daiyu's beauty is not unique, but she is also a rare and beautiful girl. The only person who can compare with Daiyu is Xue Baochai who lives in Xifu now. .

But Baoyu didn't call Xue Baochai, and only regarded Xue Baochai as her sister.

But Daiyu is different. When Baoyu first saw Daiyu, he felt that she was special to him, but he didn't expect to be beaten.

Baoyu still remembers how Jia Zheng scolded Daiyu when she came to Beijing.

"Uncle Tang..."

Jia Fu raised his hand to stop Baoyu from explaining, "I don't want to hear your unreasonable arguments. You will go home in a while, and the old lady in the province will not be able to find you in a while, and the West Mansion will be turned upside down."

Baoyu didn't dare to argue with Jia Fu, because Jia Fu's power was too strong, Baoyu couldn't bear it, and was sent back by Xu Lin in a daze.

Within two days, I heard that Baoyu Tea in the West Mansion didn't want to eat or drink, fell ill, and caused troubles in both the East and West Mansions.

Jia Fu was tired of listening to Baoyu's news every day.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Fu received a letter from Lin Ruhai, saying that he planned to return to Beijing and wanted Jia Fu to help mediate.

This is not difficult. He is still the top leader of the cabinet. Although he can't say that he can cover the sky with one hand, there is no problem in helping Lin Ruhai return to Beijing.

So after the new year, Lin Ruhai was transferred to the capital, and after reporting on his duties, he was transferred to the household department as a servant.

After the Lin family's old house was tidied up, Daiyu went back to Lin's mansion to stay for three to five days from time to time, and stayed in Ningguo mansion most of the time.

After all, there is still no mistress in the inner house of the Lin family, and Lin Xian is still young, so if he wants to marry a wife, he will have to wait seven or eight years.

Since Baoyu hit a wall at Jiafu, he went back to his house and made a fuss. There was still no movement on Jiafu's side, so it stopped.

The most important thing is what Jia Fu said, which hit him hard.

That is Lin Daiyu's father told Lin Daiyu to stay away from him.

Although he didn't know the reason, and even felt a little wronged in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything.

Even Yuanchun's family visit on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month did not make Baoyu feel happier, because even Yuanchun's family visitation did not arrange for anyone from the West Mansion to come over, so it was even more impossible for Daiyu to come.

After visiting relatives in Yuanchun, Baoyu and the girls from Rongguo Mansion were asked to live in the garden. It would be a waste to leave it vacant.

After two years like this, Jia Fu found that Liu Zhi's physical function began to decline, no matter what elixir he gave Liu Zhi, it would be in vain.

After so many years, he also gradually realized that the things that Endless Xinghai gave were not so heaven-defying, they were all within the acceptable range of people, that is to say, the existence of Xinghai was a bit illusory.

These elixirs can only cure diseases and save lives, but they cannot prolong life.

It's like he tried in vain to keep his grandfather Jia Yan, but in the end he could only watch his grandfather close his eyes.

The same goes for grandmothers, fathers, and mothers.

He has experienced too many life and death partings in his life, but he never thought that he would also usher in the life and death separation with Liu Zhi.

For more than 40 years of husband and wife, feelings have long been integrated into life and become instinct.

This time Jia Fu completely ignored the emperor's persuasion and insisted on resigning. Both the emperor and the Supreme Emperor also heard that Mrs. Hou fell ill, and the imperial physicians were helpless.

Jia Fu and Liu Zhi are well-known loving couples in Beijing. Jia Fu and Liu Zhi have been married for more than 40 years and nearly 50 years, and they have never seen a woman other than Liu Zhi.

"Ning Guohou, I really need you, you are not old enough to be an official, why did you resign so early?"

The emperor was really reluctant to part with Jia Fu, no matter what others said about Jia Fu's power, he never changed his attitude towards Jia Fu.

Since his grandfather's generation, this Lord Marquis has infiltrated every aspect of the imperial court. Although there will be no problem if he leaves Jia Fu now, the emperor really has a kind of dependence on Jia Fu and does not want Jia Fu to resign.

"Your Majesty, when I was young, I promised my wife that I would take her to travel all over the world and see thousands of mountains and rivers. But since I became an official, I haven't even taken her out of the capital. I have lived up to anyone's expectations in my life. , but owed her. Maybe the emperor is not difficult to understand, and I don't expect the emperor to understand, I only hope that the emperor can agree to my request to resign."

The emperor is surrounded by beauties in the harem, how can he understand that Jia Fu is a wonderful woman who has been guarding a woman all his life?

But seeing that Jia Fu's mental state was unprecedentedly depressed, the emperor was also a little startled, he couldn't help thinking, if he refused, would Jia Fu take his wife and leave Beijing directly?

Thinking of what Jia Fu has done for the court over the past few decades, the emperor couldn't help saying no.

Sighing, he said, "Well, I'll reserve a job for you, and I'll accept it when you come back."

Jia Fu frowned slightly, wanted to say something, but swallowed the words again, he knew that this was the best way, and the emperor would be annoyed if he insisted on resigning.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After returning from the palace, Jia Fu wrote a letter to transfer the title to his eldest son.

Seeing Jia Fu's hard work over the years, and Jia Quan's outstanding ability, the emperor allowed Jia Quan to inherit his position as the noble.

Jia Fu took Liu Zhi and left the capital after Jia Guan's attack on the noble.

Jia Fu took Liu Zhi to wander all over the country, and it took five years.

In the sixth year, the 14th year of Jianyuan, Jia Fu finally returned to the capital with Liu Zhi, and the capital remained the same.

Jia Fu doesn't seem to have changed much, except that there are more wrinkles on his face, but he still looks about 50 to [-] years old.

Liu Zhi looked much older, she was only two years younger than Jia Fu, but she looked like she was ten years older than Jia Fu.

Knowing that Jia Fu brought Liu Zhi back to the capital, Jia Quan and the others were not very happy.

Because they knew that Jia Fu hadn't returned for the past five years, and when he came back suddenly, no news came back, so Liu Zhi must be in trouble.

In fact... it is true.

The main courtyard of Ningguo Mansion is now lived by Jia Guan, and the east courtyard is lived by Jia Ying. Jia Ke’s family has moved out of Ningguo Mansion. After all, there are more children and grandchildren, and the officials are getting bigger and bigger. They continue to live in Ningguo Mansion. good entertainment.

No matter how long they moved out, at the end of November in the 14th year of Jianyuan, all three brothers and sisters brought their children and grandchildren to Yinshuangyuan. The place where Jia Fu and his wife live now is also the place where Jia Yan and his wife lived for the elderly in the past.

Liu Zhi's complexion was very bad, lying on the bed, very weak.

"Heng Rong, the most correct thing I did in my life was to kiss you in Huifang Garden that year."

The children and grandchildren all stared wide-eyed, looked at each other in blank dismay, and then sneaked out without disturbing their conversation.

Jia Fu's eyes were red, he held Liu Zhi's hand tightly, as if if he held it tighter, this person would not leave him.

"The most correct thing I did was to marry you." Jia Fu smiled slightly.

Liu Zhi suddenly put on a straight face, and snorted, "I don't know what you ate, you have a good face, you are 70 years old, and you look like 50 years old, look at me, I am older than you Teenage."

Jia Fu couldn't laugh or cry, "But in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful."

Liu Zhi looked at Jia Fu obsessively, and suddenly smiled, "I'm very lucky to meet you."

Another person would never agree to her rude request.

But Jia Fu agreed and did it.

For decades, she has been guarding her alone.

If she hadn't met Jia Fu, her life would have been miserable.

Jia Fu suddenly felt heart palpitations, opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't make a sound.

"Heng Rong, let's make an agreement. In the next life, we will still be husband and wife, okay? I can't bear to let you go to someone else."

Jia Fu's eyes suddenly blurred, "Okay."

The hand in his hand suddenly sank, and Jia Fu's heart sank, and when he wiped away his tears, he saw that Liu Zhi had closed his eyes.

"Zhi'er..."

Jia Fu leaned against the bed with a dazed expression.

This woman had been with him the longest in this world, but now this woman had also left him.

After an unknown amount of time, Jia Quan's voice came from next to his ear, "Father, Father! Take heart!"

Jia Fu smiled wryly, rubbed his forehead, closed his eyes, "Get ready to hang the funeral banner..."

Seeing that his father's expression was not good, but there seemed to be no signs of leaving with his mother for the time being, Jia Guan felt relieved, got up and went out to prepare for the funeral.

The funeral was very grand, and Jia Fu's complexion became more and more haggard day by day, and he looked older every day.

After finishing the ceremony on July 49, Jia Fu seemed to have aged ten years in a blink of an eye.

The emperor wanted Jia Fu to return to the cabinet, but Jia Fu fell ill after finishing Liu Zhi's funeral.

There is something that Jia Fu doesn't know what to say, and who to tell, as if no one can say it...

Since Liu Zhi died of illness, on the first day of the first month, he failed to enter Xinghai. He thought it was a mistake, but in the second month, he still failed to enter. Now it has been four months, and he feels his vitality in the gradual passage of time.

In a trance, he seemed to see a sea of ​​stars, the three copper doors merged into one, and then shattered, even the starry sky collapsed.

Huo Ran opened his eyes, and saw his children and grandchildren crying beside his bed, and himself... floating in the air.

"Hengrong..."

Jia Fu turned his head, and saw Liu Zhi, who was several decades younger, standing behind him, smiling, "Let's go."

After being dazed for a while, Jia Fu came back to his senses, and seeing that the person in front of him was still there, he stepped forward and hugged her violently.

"You're still there, you're still here..." Still by my side.

"I will always be by your side...with you."
