The Historian of the Red Chamber has a daughter

Feng Li and Shi Xiangyun got off the carriage, and Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian greeted them outside the door in person.I haven't seen you for some days, Wang Xifeng seems to have lost weight a lot, her face is not very good, and her eyes are still blue, "The county prince and princess are here, the old lady is sick, the master and the wife are waiting in front of the old lady, so I can't come in person It is really rude to welcome the prince and princess."

Shi Xiangyun held Wang Xifeng's hand, "You're welcome, what's going on? Is the old lady seriously ill?"

Wang Xifeng's eyes turned red, "The old lady is getting old, and her body is not very healthy. A few days ago, thieves entered the house, and the old lady was shocked. In addition, what happened in the Ning Mansion, the old lady was anxious and angry. I fell ill again, but this time the illness is so dangerous that Aunt Lin invited several imperial physicians to see it, but they all said it was not good."

A thief entered the house?Could it be that someone took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters during the prince's rebellion? "Is there any loss of property at home?" Otherwise, the old lady would not be frightened!

Jia Lian sighed, "It's nothing more than a loss of property, it's just some gold and silver utensils, but brother Bao was killed by a thief!"

Shi Xiangyun's eyes widened, "What? Brother Bao was killed?"

Wang Xifeng burst into tears, "That's right! When the thief came, all the maids around Brother Bao ran away, and when people found out, Brother Bao was already out of breath! I didn't know who leaked the news when I kept it from the old lady. After the old lady found out, she passed out, and the sister-in-law You of the Piandong Mansion ran over again, yelling for help, the old lady just woke up, and when she heard the news, she couldn't bear the shock and fell ill."

Shi Xiangyun sighed, and his eyes were red, "Take me to see the old lady!" Although the old lady has been indifferent to Jia Baoyu in the past few years, she is the child who was raised in the palm of her hand. Now that it is gone, it is inevitable for the old lady to be sad.Coupled with the matter of the Ning Mansion, with this series of blows, it's no wonder the old lady didn't fall down.

Shi Xiangyun went straight to Rongqing Hall. In Rongqing Hall, Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing, and Jia Zheng were all serving in front of Jia Mu, while Mrs. Wang and Li Wan were not there. Wang Xifeng explained: "The second wife heard the sad news about Brother Bao. Later, she also fell ill, and the eldest sister-in-law is now serving in front of the second wife."

Shi Xiangyun nodded.Over there, Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng had already seen Feng Li and Shi Xiangyun, so they quickly put down their things and came to greet them. Feng Li helped them up one by one, "It doesn't matter, it's important to take good care of the old lady, and don't pay too much attention to these red tapes." .”

Wang Xifeng bent down and whispered softly in Jiamu's ear: "Old ancestor, old ancestor, Anjun Wang and Wangfei are here."

Mother Jia's eyelids moved, and Wang Xifeng continued, "Old Ancestor, Younger Sister Shi is here to see you, please open your eyes and have a look!"

After a long time, Mother Jia slowly opened her eyes. Her cloudy eyes searched around, and only when she saw Shi Xiangyun did she light up, "Yun girl!" She stretched out her hand tremblingly. Holding Jia Mu's hand, "Old lady, I'm here!"

Over there, Jia Amnesty said, "My lord, let's talk outside!"

Feng Li glanced at Shi Xiangyun before nodding his head.

Jia Amnesty and the others were chatting outside, while Jiamu was in tears and struggling to sit up. Shi Xiangyun hurriedly joined Yuanyang and pressed Jiamu on the bed, "Old ancestor, if you have anything to say, just lie down and talk! If you move, your body needs to be tight."

Jiamu opened her mouth, but couldn't speak. Yuanyang hurriedly brought a bowl of ginseng soup from the side, and fed Jiamu a few mouthfuls. Jiamu just gained strength. Just as she was about to speak, Shi Xiangyun looked at the ginseng soup, " The quality of this ginseng is not very good, is there any better one at home? Second sister-in-law, I brought a few ginseng, including two hundred-year-old ginseng, hurry up and ask the kitchen to make soup for the ancestors." Then He said to Jia Mu: "Ginseng has been in the sun for a long time. If it is not preserved properly, it is not very interesting. Therefore, the ancestors must not be frugal. If it is useful to eat, just eat it. People like us do not lack this. .”

With such an interruption, Mother Jia forgot what she had planned a long time ago, she thought for a while, and then said: "Yun girl, your second brother is gone!" Tears flowed down again as she spoke, this time she was really sad .After all, it was the baby pimple that she held in her palm since she was a child, and it just disappeared, so why didn't she feel sad.

Shi Xiangyun thought of Jia Baoyu's kindness and gentleness among his sisters in the past, and because he was pregnant, his mood fluctuated greatly, his eyes were red, and a few tears fell. When Wang Xifeng saw it, he quickly wiped Shi Xiangyun's tears with a handkerchief. "Wangfei is pregnant now, but you must not make such sad voices."

Mother Jia took a few breaths, and then said: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have told you these things. It made you sad too. Girl Yun, although you didn't grow up in front of me, after all these years, I am right. There is no difference between you and Sister Yingchun. The current situation at home is like this. I also know that Brother Zhen violated the law of the court. He has to blame himself and has no one else to blame. I just feel sorry for your two cousins ​​who were implicated for no reason, and your eldest brother Sister" At this point, Mother Jia was so excited that she couldn't make a sound, and Yuanyang was worried beside her. Seeing that Mother Jia's crying slowed down, she hurriedly served a few mouthfuls of ginseng soup.

Shi Xiangyun wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, "I understand the meaning of the old ancestor. It's just that the big brother Dongfuzhen committed a serious crime. I also heard from the prince. If it wasn't for the sake of King Qi In addition, there is also the intercession of the adoptive father and the eldest sister, maybe the two cousins ​​are not as simple as seizing the title and official. Therefore, it is already lucky for the Rong Mansion to escape this catastrophe."

Seeing that Jia's mother was still talking, Shi Xiangyun said again: "These two things, this incident is really unimaginable. The Holy Majesty is still furious. The empress is asking for the title of the prince's children. There is no news so far. The ancestors think about Prince Yong. After the death, the Holy Majesty bestowed rewards on his children, and thinking about the performance of the Holy Majesty this time, you can know that the Holy Majesty’s anger is hard to dissipate. If the Jia family takes this risk at this time, isn’t it intentional to attract the anger of the Holy Majesty and ignite it? In my opinion, it's better to lie dormant for a while, wait until the wind dies down and the Holy Majesty's anger subsides, and then plan for the funeral. Ancestor, you have gone through more things than me, tell me, is this the reason?"

When Jia Mu saw this, although Shi Xiangyun didn't agree to it, she still showed some meaning. Jia Mu accepted it as soon as she saw it, and didn't continue to ask, "This generation of Jia's family is just like this. I only hope that you and Yu'er For my sake, I will take care of Brother Rui and the others more in the future. In this way, in the future, I will have an account for the Duke."

Shi Xiangyun sighed, "Old Ancestor, don't say such things. Sister Lin and I both know what you mean. Don't worry! By the way, do you know? Sister Lin gave birth to a boy weighing six catties and six taels , His Royal Highness King Qi was overjoyed, although it was not a big deal to do the three washings, the Holy Majesty and the Queen Mother both rewarded a lot of things, and the name was also given by the Holy Majesty, Fengqing."

Wang Xifeng blushed, "Oh, it's all my fault! It's all my fault! These days, I've forgotten all about such a big event as the baptism of a young prince."

"Second Sister-in-Law, don't worry, Beijing is very chaotic these days, so Brother Jun, oh, it's his nickname, I gave it up! Brother Jun's Xisan deliberately didn't make any publicity, so we congratulated together , except for the rewards from the Empress Dowager and the Holy Majesty, no congratulatory gifts were confiscated. If the second sister-in-law is really upset, just add more during the full moon ceremony." Shi Xiangyun said with a smile.

Jia Mu looked at Yuanyang, Yuanyang nodded, "It's the old lady, I'll go right away." Then she explained to Shi Xiangyun: "The old lady has prepared the gift for Princess Qi a few days ago, but who knows if she can catch up with her?" Now that this matter is over, since the princess of the county is here, I will save my servants from running away."

Shi Xiangyun smiled, "Everything from our ancestors is good. If that's the case, I won't be polite. If you have any good things, just bring them! I'll take them back to Sister Lin and Brother Jun."

Yuanyang hurriedly laughed and went down.

Shi Xiangyun persuaded Jia's mother a few more words to let her recover from her illness with peace of mind, and if she needed anything, she could speak up, and then saw that it was getting late, and the city gate would be closed later, so she offered to leave. Wang Xifeng struggled to keep her, Shi Xiangyun smiled Explained: "Sister Lin is still confinement in my Zhuangzi! Why can't I, the master, not show up?"

Having said that, it is hard for Wang Xifeng to keep her.Zhizhi personally sent Shi Xiangyun out.Shi Xiangyun asked, "What are your plans for the second elder brother?"

"Now that we are on the cusp of the storm, it's not too extravagant. We can only keep everything simple. Your second brother Lian can't leave, so you can only let Brother Huan send Brother Bao back to Jinling. He has been wronged, but there is nothing you can do now about it." Wang Xifeng said with a wry smile.

Shi Xiangyun nodded, "If you need anything, just send someone to the palace to find Wei Nanny. Even if I can't come back for a while, Wei Wei will take care of it." Then he quietly poked his head, "There is enough money. ?"

If it was before, Wang Xifeng would have to speak up, but now that the family is in such a situation, the future of the children is more important than money, she still knows this truth, "Princess, don't worry, the broken boat still has three-inch nails! No matter how bad it is, there are still old ladies And my private room!" Wang Xifeng smiled sincerely.

"Okay, if it's not enough, go to Mother Wei." Shi Xiangyun glanced at Wang Xifeng approvingly, maybe it's because mothers are stronger!Wang Xifeng, who has a son, is more shrewd and cautious than before.

Shi Xiangyun and Feng Li sat in the carriage and drove out of the city. After all, the road was a bit bumpy. Shi Xiangyun's face was not very good-looking. Feng Li held her in his arms distressedly, "Why don't we rest?" It's in the palace, the emperor's uncle is not an outsider, so he doesn't care about these things."

"It's okay, you pour some water and I'll have a drink." Shi Xiangyun said.Feng Li hurriedly went to pour water, Shi Xiangyun took the teacup, then smuggled some spiritual spring water out after being blocked by his sleeves, after drinking a cup, he felt a little thirsty, Feng Li held the teapot by the side, and quickly poured it again One glass, three glasses of water in a row, Shi Xiangyun just felt better.
