[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Jia Lian successfully borrowed 1000 taels of silver from Jia Min, and with the money, the piece of land on the river beach that Luochun was looking for fell smoothly into Jia Lian's name.After Jia Min learned about the situation of the Jia family from Jia Lian, she came back with Jia Lian, and there was also a servant of the Lin family who was sent by Jia Min to Beijing to visit Jia's mother. Therefore, Jia's mother inevitably found out that the big house went to borrow money from Jia Min. Therefore, Jia Amnesty was scolded by Jia's mother, and at the request of Jia's mother, in front of her, Jia Amnesty wrote an IOU to Jia Min and handed it over to the servant Jia Min sent. Bring back.

Coming out of the yamen and returning home, Jia Lian handed the land deed with his name on it to Sister Feng, and said, "Put this thing away." Sister Feng couldn't help taking the things over, and unfolded them , staring at Jia Lian's name on it, looked again and again, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Hey, by the way, you went to your aunt's house and asked your aunt to borrow money, but did you write an IOU?"

"No." Jia Lian said, "I wanted to write it, but my aunt didn't let me, saying that they are all relatives, so I don't need this." Sister Feng breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Okay. I'm relieved." Jia Lian raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter? What do you mean?" Could it be possible to renege on a debt?

Sister Feng said: "You have been running outside since you came back. You are busy buying land, so you don't know. The old lady knew that our family borrowed 1000 taels of silver from my aunt, so she immediately called the master over and scolded me. After a while, I said that the master is not just a brother, not just helping the younger sister, but bullying the younger sister, a widow who is unemployed, and let the master set up an IOU in front of her. I thought, if you were at the aunt's house, you would also give the aunt After writing a copy, plus the copy that the old lady asked the master to write, wouldn’t it be heavy.”

Jia Lian said angrily when she heard the words: "You treat everyone like your Wang family, so impersonal, and you only know the money in your eyes, even if your aunt has two IOUs, she will not ask us for two. portion of the money."

"Hmph, actually, even if my aunt and I said it was a loan, but from what my aunt said, she gave the money and didn't intend to ask for it at all. And what the old lady said was right. My aunt is a widow and brought her cousin Living with my cousin is not easy, we don't talk about helping, but instead come to ask for help, it is really shameless."

"Listen to you, isn't it hard for my aunt?" Sister Feng said in disbelief, "No, although my uncle passed away, the emperor rewarded my cousin with a title. It's better than nothing. Besides, my aunt's family is not short of money, so how can life be so difficult?"

Jia Lian sighed and said: "But it's not going to be easy. My aunt's family of three is all sick. Especially my aunt, who is now relying on medicine to raise her, and spends more than half of her days in bed every month. Cousin Lin is only a little better than my aunt. Three or five out of ten days is good enough. Now the family has to say that it is cousin Lin, but cousin Lin has also been to our house. What does she look like? It’s not that you didn’t see it, it’s just that you’re just pulling out the general from the box, which is a little bit better than Auntie and Cousin Lin.”

"Because my aunt was ill, she couldn't manage the affairs. Most of the things were taken care of by my cousin, and my cousin was young and not in good health. So my aunt didn't want her to worry too much. She sold almost all the family property, leaving only Ancestral property and sacrificial fields. Although Cousin Lin has a vassal, it is the lowest level, and he is young. Most people in Gusu know that he is a sick child, and it is not certain whether he will grow up. There are many powerful people on the side, so when my aunt changed the property of the seller, she suffered a lot. In addition, the money for the medicine for the three of them was also a huge amount. Now the Lin family is not the time when the uncle was there, so For some good medicines, you have to ask for favors everywhere, and spend a lot of money to buy them,..."

When Sister Feng heard Jia Lian's words, she thought he was worried about money, and hurriedly said, "This medicine is a life-saving thing. It's not cheap, so it's worth spending more money."

"Of course I know what you said. If the medicine can save lives, it will be worth it no matter how much it costs." Jia Lian said bitterly: "It's just hateful that people with good intentions are really dark-hearted. They know that the patient is waiting for the medicine to save their lives, but they still use counterfeit medicine to deceive them." People. I heard from my cousin Lin that because the family searched for good medicinal materials for my aunt’s illness, some herbal pickers and people in the medicine shop colluded to set up a scam. It’s a lot of temper. And there are more than one incidents like this, but the aunt’s family has nothing to do, every time those medicine collectors come to the door, they dare not call them out, what if they bring real medicinal materials.”

Sister Feng listened, couldn't help stomping her feet, and cursed bitterly: "These people are really hateful." Jia Lian sighed and said, "After all, these are outsiders, that's all. people also..."

"My aunt helped Ling back to Gusu. Although she lived by her clan, my uncle's family has been passed down for several generations, and there are no other close clans. Moreover, the ancestors of the Lin family also had a title, which was passed down for four generations. When I came to my uncle, I passed the imperial examination. Born, their branch has always been out of town, and basically they will be buried back in Gusu only after they die. Because they have been away all the time, they have not had close contact with the Lin family in Gusu. The blood relationship is far away, and in addition There were not many contacts before, and the Lin family has been passing on the family of scholars for so many years, and the seeds of reading have continued, but so far, except for my uncle who was a high school student, the best grades of the others are just to pass the exam. The exam has been repeated. Studying is the most expensive thing, and besides my uncle, there has never been an official in the Lin family. When my uncle was an official, he never supported the Lin family. A jealous villain, so the life of my aunt's family in the Lin family is not easy.... One day I come to ask for a bowl of rice, and tomorrow I come to ask for a catty of noodles. This is still good, and there are still a few It's a big one, but the people that my aunt sent to Beijing are very popular, no matter how hard I ask them, they won't say anything. This is still a family, so it's really hateful to bully people like this!"

Regarding this, Sister Feng was not as emotional and angry as Jia Lian. She chuckled and said, "We are still a family with the Ning family, and our relationship is not much closer than that of my aunt's family and the Lin family. Why is there nothing wrong with our family?" In the past, it wasn’t you coming and going, hello, me, everyone, but when something happened, the fastest to run and the furthest to hide would be Ning Mansion. If it wasn’t for the word “Jia” on both sides, I’m really confused, I’m afraid there are more beautiful stories than this one. After what happened in that house, why are you still so reluctant? So I remember it, the whole family that I’ve been talking about all day, actually It’s just a person in the same room, and it’s not the same thing across the room, so in the future, remember, the people who are next door are relatives, not relatives, so what is this family? Don't mention it again as a family."

After lamenting the estrangement of relatives, Sister Feng suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, since you just said that my aunt's family lived in Gusu so unsatisfactorily, why didn't you persuade my aunt's family to come to Beijing. Although we are down and out, but in the end He is still there. Usually, if there is something wrong with my aunt’s house, I can’t help much, but it’s always possible to run errands. After all, cousin Lin is still young, but his health is not good, and although the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River is not inferior The capital city, but here is the foot of the emperor after all, the place of the capital, good doctors and good medicinal materials should be much easier to find than in Gusu. My aunt's family moved to the capital city, and we usually help take care of it. Gusu is easy. Let me say, it’s much better than being in Gusu.”

Jia Lian sighed, and said: "Why didn't I mention it to my aunt, but my aunt said that even if I want to go to Beijing, I have to wait until my uncle's filial piety is over. Otherwise, with Cousin Lin like this, it is not right to enter the court as an official in the future." It's impossible, I can only live as a vain prince, and I can't let people criticize me in terms of character."

She frowned, "It's just that my aunt's body is really worrying. Didn't you see that my aunt's face was as white as a piece of paper, and her whole body was as thin as a bone. Say a few more words I feel like I can't breathe when I speak,... so even after my uncle's filial piety, I may not be able to go on the road." With her appearance, she can't stand the bumps on the road. If she insists on going on the road, she may die on the road. .

Sister Feng couldn't believe it, and said in surprise: "Aren't you joking? My aunt's health is not very good, she has been sick all the time, but when she received a letter from my uncle, she was still fine when she left our house. How did it become like this?"

Although Jia Lian didn't stay by Jia Min's side, but because he escorted her, Daiyu and Lin Lang back to Yangzhou, and walked all the way with Zhang Youshi, who is excellent in medicine, he still knows Jia Min's health very well. "That day, when the old lady whose aunt's body was in the mansion invited Zhang Youshi to come for treatment, she said that the inside was empty, and it was all supported by the rare medicinal materials that I ate every day. This is like a dilapidated house that is about to collapse. , although the papermaker pasted it with colorful flowers, and nothing can be seen from the outside, it cannot conceal the fact that it is about to collapse after all. After receiving the letter from my uncle, my aunt took cousin Lin and cousin Lin back and I escorted them back. On the way, there was Zhang Youshi’s wonderful hand rejuvenation, and his wife helped to pack up a lot of rare medicinal materials and put them on. My aunt’s body may not last until Yangzhou, and she must fall ill. In this way, when I arrived in Yangzhou, I caught up with my uncle for the last time. On the one hand, patients are most afraid of such intense emotional ups and downs, but uncle passed away, there is no reason why aunt should not be sad, and after uncle passed away, all the big and small things in the family have to be taken care of, so aunt tried her best to support After trying to arrange for my uncle's funeral, I couldn't stand it any longer and passed out. At that time, Zhang Youshi tried his best to deal with my aunt's illness, saying that whether my aunt could wake up was partly due to manpower and partly depends on God's will. He has done his best in terms of manpower, so it depends on God's will. It's just that after this incident, my aunt's body became more and more dilapidated. At that time, my aunt's body was all maintained by good medicine. Now, the Lin family is not as good as it used to be, okay The medicinal materials are not so easy to get, since the medicinal materials are in short supply, it is not surprising that my aunt's body is deteriorating more and more."

Originally, Sister Feng didn't believe in retribution from the underworld, but after so many things, she still had a little awe of ghosts and gods. Listening to Jia Lian's description of Jia Min's current situation, she thought that Jia Min took the child back to her natal home that day, because Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue teamed up to promote Baochai by belittling Daiyu. After she found out, she fought back fiercely by punishing Zhou Rui's family. A series of methods showed that Jia Min was a shrewd and decisive person, but now he is lingering in bed. , precarious, but there are still a pair of children who have not grown up in front of her, so she can't rest assured, she dare not just die like this, and has to struggle between life and death every day.Thinking of this, Sister Feng couldn't help sighing: "A strong man can't fight for his life!" Looking at the eldest sister who was lying on the kang and sleeping soundly covered with a small quilt, Sister Feng thought of Jia Min's motherly heart. Said: "But if my aunt doesn't make arrangements for my cousin and cousin, I'm afraid she won't leave here."

Jia Lian was silent when he heard the words.Thinking of his return, Jia Min repeatedly told him not to tell Mother Jia about her situation, and not to tell anyone else, because she didn't want the Jia family to worry about her. He didn't mention a single word, suddenly he thought, and hurriedly told Sister Feng: "You swallow the situation of my aunt that I told you just now, no matter who it is to, don't mention a single word again."

Sister Feng nodded, and asked a little strangely, "Why is that?" Jia Lian replied impatiently, "No reason, but when I said goodbye to my aunt in Gusu, my aunt told me not to take her away." Tell anyone about the situation, including the old lady. At that time, I promised my aunt again and again that I would never say it out loud. I forgot it just now and mentioned it to you by the way. Now that I think about it, I will naturally make it up. "

"What is Auntie doing? In order not to worry the old lady, or..." Sister Feng chuckled and said, "Auntie is too careful, are you afraid that our family will know her situation and have something bad for them? Can't make up your mind?"

snort!Jia Lian snorted coldly and said, "You don't have such thoughts, but it doesn't mean others don't. Even if it's an old lady, although she loves her aunt, she is a married daughter after all, and the second room still has a piece of the old lady's heart. She is now the old lady's treasure, compared to him, aunt, who is a married daughter, is nothing, and she will take a shot."

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Sister Feng's expression turned serious, and she suddenly remembered that Jia Min planned to come back to her natal mother, Jia Min, with her children.If Mrs. Wang still wanted to fight Baochai and Daiyu back then, then now, Baochai can't compare with Daiyu, especially if Mrs. Wang knows that Jia Min's life is not long, I'm afraid... Sister Feng Not daring to think about it anymore, she hurriedly covered her mouth, telling herself inwardly that she absolutely, absolutely must not reveal a single word about Jia Min's physical condition.
