[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

As the saying goes, "Sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread." Although Luochun's fever has subsided, it will take some days to heal.Originally, the doctor said that part of her illness was due to "exhaustion of energy and energy", so Mrs. Xing desperately asked her to calm down and recuperate. Luochun eats and sleeps, eats and sleeps, just like raising pigs.

Because Mrs. Xing issued a strict order, Pinxiu and Shazhi were also frightened by Luochun's menacing illness, so they regarded Mrs. Xing's words as an imperial decree, and besides taking good care of them, there were other requirements for Luochun. Take strict precautions.If Luochun refuses to listen, then bring out Mrs. Xing's big Buddha, and Luochun has no choice but to obey.Lonely and bored in her illness, what she looks forward to most every day is that Baoyu, Yingchun and others will come to visit her sick together, so that someone can talk to her.It's just because she hasn't recovered after all, so Baoyu and the others are afraid that they will disturb the purity of her illness, which will tire her and make her symptoms worse, so every time they come, they sit for a while and then leave.

On this day, Sanchun and Daiyu came to see her together.Everyone began to gossip, and Daiyu said: "I heard from my mother that the second aunt's younger sister, Aunt Xue, who lives in Jinling, and her family are going to Beijing soon. There is an older sister in my aunt's family who is a few years older than us. I heard that she is very good. This time my aunt's family came to Beijing because of this sister's election."

"I don't know who is waiting to be elected or not." Xichun curled her lips and said indifferently: "But it's not a day or two since Aunt Xue's family said that they want to go to Beijing. The Pear Fragrance Court over the corner has been cleaned up, but Aunt Xue’s family has not come yet. It is said that because Aunt Xue’s family is an imperial merchant, all provinces have her family’s business. , and look at the scenery of various places, so I always say that it is coming soon, who knows where it will turn halfway; or where the business has gone wrong and was delayed; anyway, this "recently" is uncertain, Maybe it's a day or two, maybe ten days and a half a month, maybe a month or two months, it's all a possibility, so some people may have to wait."

The reason why Xichun said this is because everyone was "deceived" by the word "recently" in this way, and the Xue family is still on the road and has not been seen.Daiyu was taken aback by Xichun's words, and said in amazement: "Ah, what about sister Xue? Didn't she say she was going to Beijing to be elected?"

"Who knows?" Xichun shook her head and said, "I don't know either. But I once heard something from Rong's daughter-in-law in a daze, saying that Aunt Xue's family participated in this "candidate" and our eldest sister participated in it." It's not the same, and it seems that the age limit and the number of times for elections have been relaxed this time. Aunt Xue's sister is not a few years older than us, and it should be far from the age limit for elections. If it doesn't work this year, there will be next year. Although it is far from Jinling to the capital, and even if the Xue family has businesses in various provinces and needs to be checked one by one, it is impossible for Aunt Xue's family to wander on the road for several years."

While visiting the mountains and rivers, check the business in various places. This should be the "official reason" that Aunt Xue's family left Jinling early tomorrow after discussing with Aunt Xue, but they didn't come to Beijing for a long time, right?This reason is really high-sounding, if Luo Chun doesn't understand the real reason, I'm afraid he will believe it like everyone here.However, Mrs. Wang Mi Fen plays Taiping, and her ability to cover up the facts is really not a cover-up. As for the situation where no secrets in Jia's mansion can be hidden like a sieve, Xue Pan's beating to death really didn't come out at all. Really great.But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, the matter is mentioned in the letters between the two families. It's impossible to talk about this embarrassing thing and reveal it to the outside world, so it should be normal for people inside and outside the house to keep it a secret.

Although Luochun knew the inside story, she didn't want to reveal the reason why the Xue family hadn't come to Beijing in front of these people, because everyone would know in the near future, because the Xue family would automatically reveal the truth of the matter. It's a pity for Mrs. Wang painstakingly.Xue Pan's behavior is unacceptable and disgraceful to the Jia family, which claims to be a "charitable family" and "has always been gentle with its servants".It's a pity that Mrs. Wang tried her best to conceal it, but when Xue's family arrived, the news of Xue Pan's beating to death would spread in the mansion.Because Xue Pan did not regard this as a scandal, but instead regarded it as an honor, a feat worth showing off, and took the initiative to publicize it to others.

But this time Xichun was wrong, the Xue family should have moved to Beijing soon this time.Didn't Jia Yucun have gone to Yingtian Mansion in Jinling to take office, so Xue Pan's matter should have been resolved, and Xue's family doesn't have to be on the road anymore.Luo Chun couldn't help sighing when he thought of the phrase "I don't remember the day on the road" used by Mr. Cao when the Xue family went to Beijing, it was really wonderful to use.The Xue family's journey on the road should not be counted by time, but the time when the murder case was understood, that is, the day when the Xue family went to Beijing to visit relatives.During this period, not to mention the time when Jia Yucun's predecessor tried the case, Shan Jia Yucun settled the "gourd case" after he took office, and then sent news to the Jia and Wang mansions in Beijing, and then the two mansions sent news to Xue's family to tell They, the case is over, and hurried to Beijing, well, the time spent during this period is really hard to remember.

From Xue's family, Luochun couldn't help but think of Daiyu, cast his eyes on Daiyu, and thought, although his father Lin Hai is still far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but this time Daiyu lives with his mother and younger brother at his grandmother's house, waiting for Xue Baochai to come in. After the palace, I don't know if the drama of "Huai Jin Mourning Jade" will continue to be staged?

Because Jia Min lived in the Jia's mansion in seclusion, spending most of his time on the sick bed, and also had to deal with the Lin family's family affairs, Luochun didn't have much contact with this aunt. Besides, after years of practice, Jia Min had long been a woman who could not be bothered by emotions, easily out of touch. It is really difficult for a wealthy lady from a wealthy family who can let people see her inner thoughts.However, from Jia Min's evaluation of Baoyu's "stubbornness", it can be seen that her perception of Baoyu is not very good, and Baoyu staged such a scene when she first met Daiyu, plus the relationship between Mrs. Wang and Jia Min Due to old grievances, Jia Min may not be willing to marry Daiyu to Baoyu.But these are all Luochun's personal speculations, too many to count.

Speaking of Baoyu, Luochun had to say that although he was annoying sometimes, he had to say that the atmosphere would be much more active with him.For example, at this meeting, Sanchun and Daiyu came to visit together, Yingchun sat aside and kept quiet except for a few words of greeting when he first arrived. Tanchun, who is always good at speaking, is not in high spirits today, he has almost become dumb, and rarely say.Only Daiyu and Xichun said a few words, if no one led the conversation, it would be cold.If Baoyu was here, Luochun would never have to worry about it right now.

Luochun knew that Baoyu didn't go to school these days because the master's family had something to do.Now all the girls in the house are gathered here, even if Baoyu didn't make an appointment with them at first, but with his personality that he likes to play with his older sisters, if there is nothing to hinder him, he should come here too.Therefore, Luo Chun coughed lightly, and asked wonderingly: "Did you see Second Brother Bao when you came over? What is he doing now, why didn't he come over with you?"

Without waiting for others to speak, Tanchun rushed to answer: "Second brother Bao is not at home. A few days ago, my uncle was promoted to the control of nine provinces. Today, my wife and the second sister-in-law Lian went to my uncle's house for a drink, and second brother Bao went to congratulate me with him. " Immediately sighed: "Uncle has been promoted, and my wife was very happy about it, but I heard that my uncle will go out of the capital to investigate the border soon, so my wife feels a little lonely without her natal family. Now my aunt It was an unexpected joy that the family came to Beijing to solve the worries of the wife."

Hearing Tanchun call Wang Ziteng "uncle" one by one, she called Wang Ziteng very affectionately, and when Wang Ziteng was promoted, she also showed a look of honor, although Luochun knew that Tanchun's performance was normal for a qualified concubine performance, but somehow, she just felt uncomfortable.His eyes swept over Yingchun who was silent at the side, and Mrs. Xing's words "mutton can't stick to dogs" emerged in Luochun's mind. This sentence was not only about Yingchun and Mrs. Xing, but also about the relationship between Tanchun and Mrs. Wang. is also like this.Although Tanchun did not recognize Aunt Zhao, trampled on Aunt Zhao's family, tried her best to get closer to Mrs. Wang, and regarded the Wang family as her uncle's family, with a look of sympathy and sorrow, but Mrs. Wang only used her as a tool to deal with Aunt Zhao. Why did you put her in your eyes?If Mrs. Wang really wanted to flatter Tanchun, she should be brought along to such a happy event as the Wang family, right?But unfortunately, no.Luochun suddenly understood the reason why Tanchun was depressed today.

While talking, footsteps sounded outside the house, and the little maid opened the curtain and shouted inside, "Second Master Bao is here." Before she finished speaking, Baoyu, wearing red arrow sleeves, golden plum blossoms, eight groups of Japanese forged fringe jackets, came in from outside. .When Daiyu saw him, she clapped her hands and laughed, "This is really 'Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive'. Just mentioning you, you will come. This man is really careless."

Baoyu laughed and said, "But what are you saying bad about me?" Shazhi moved an embroidered pier early for Baoyu to sit on.Baoyu didn't take a seat, but walked to Luochun's bed, stared at her for a while, then nodded and said, "Your complexion is much better than the previous few days, but your face is still very pale, you can't take it lightly, it seems It will take a while to recuperate."

Luochun smiled slightly, raised his voice and said: "From what the second brother said, it seems that you are a doctor, but the doctor's 'inspection, inquiry and diagnosis' seems that the second brother only masters 'looking', so I can make an assertion based on this. It's not convincing. Isn't it good to have a white face? Who doesn't like to be born white?"

Baoyu heard that although Luochun's voice was high, it was weak with a trembling voice, and he smiled and argued, "Although the girl's whiteness is of course good, but your whiteness is not the whiteness of rice, but the whiteness of illness. You know what I'm saying, but you insist on misinterpreting what I mean. But seeing that you still have the heart to argue with me, it can be seen that the disease has improved a lot, so there is no need to worry too much. "

Tanchun looked at Baoyu's big clothes when he went out as a guest, his eyes flickered, and asked, "Second brother, did you come back from your uncle without changing?" Baoyu nodded and said, "Well, I am here today. I tried a few dim sums at the table at my uncle’s house, and they tasted very good. Among them, I thought that Luochun would like to eat it very much, because this is a seasonal pastry, and our cook can’t always make it well, so I told my aunt and brought some back for you."

Hearing this, Luochun hurriedly thanked Baoyu: "Thank you, second brother, for thinking about it. Second brother has a heart." Suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Today, second brother went to drink, and the Shi family should be there too? Second brother can see Sister Yun A while ago, because she wanted to pray for her parents and hold rituals, it should be over now. I don’t know when she will come to the house to play? I haven’t seen her for a while, and I miss her a little. How about two Brother and the old lady said, go pick up Sister Yun. Sister Yun hasn't come here since Sister Lin came. Sister Lin just heard her name, and I haven't met her yet."

Baoyu exclaimed, and said, "Both Zhongdinghou and Zhongjinghou have gone, but sister Yun didn't. I heard Mrs. Zhongdinghou and sister Yun's aunt said that my sister was ill after returning from the family temple. Please The doctor took medicine, and he is still not recovering, so I am afraid that he will not be able to come to the mansion for a while."

"Sister Yun isn't feeling well either?" Luo Chun was taken aback when she heard the words, and sighed: "It's a coincidence, I didn't expect that Sister Yun was also sick. We don't know, so let's just send someone now. Just go and have a look." Turning around, he ordered Pinxiu: "When I turn back, I will send someone to the Shijia to have a look, and only say that the girl in the mansion, the second master Bao and I have sent someone to greet Shihou and Mrs. Shihou, and then go to visit Sister Yun. Ask her what disease she is suffering from, what medicine she is taking, what food she wants to eat, what she wants to play, if it is not convenient to tell her uncle and aunt, even if you tell someone who comes, we still have a second brother. "

Hearing this, Tanchun smiled and complained for Baoyu: "If you want to send someone to visit the sick, it's okay to hang up with us. I thought it was just a favor, so you are here waiting for the second brother. You are a good person, and you will suffer and suffer. It's the second elder brother, you are too good at taking advantage of it."

It sounded like Tanchun's words were teasing Luochun, but Luochun still felt the seriousness in it.She raised the corners of her mouth and said with a half-smile: "I can't help it. I'm a patient now, and the patient is the biggest. It's too early to say that I'm taking advantage. After all, I don't know if Sister Yun has asked for it. Besides, it doesn't matter whether it is Whose favor, the one who got the benefit in the end is sister Yun, and the second brother Bao has no objection, third sister, you seem to be unable to fight the injustice if you want to." Don't you think you are too lenient?

Being stabbed so softly by Luochun, Tanchun couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Baoyu, who was sitting on the side smiling and watching the two of them arguing, as if it had nothing to do with him.Tanchun, who was originally only a little bit angry, suddenly burst into anger, and she suppressed her anger and said, "Yes, I was talking too much. I remembered that I had something to do in my room, so I left first, and then I came back to see my sister. "He didn't say hello to everyone present, and got up and left directly.

Seeing Tanchun leaving in a flick of his sleeves, Yingchun, Xichun, Baoyu and Daiyu looked at each other with awkward expressions, sat for a while, and then got up to leave.After seeing off the crowd, Pinxiu and Yazhi stepped forward to pack up their things, Yazhi couldn't help but said: "Girl, it's not that I'm talking too much, the third girl's anger is too inexplicable, right?"

Luo Chun smiled, and said indifferently: "She's not actually angry with me, it's just that she can't afford to offend the person she's really angry with, and she doesn't dare to offend, so she can only send it at me." She raised her eyebrows slightly and snorted coldly She said, "However, I'm not a soft persimmon, and I'm not something she can pinch whenever she wants."

Seeing Luochun's tired face, Pinxiu stepped forward and removed the pillow behind her waist, and helped her to lie down.Thinking of Tanchun's ugly face when he left, Luochun sneered.It's true that she can bully the boss at will without making a sound. It's true that the second bedroom is the master of the house, but it doesn't mean that everyone in the second bedroom can speak with a straight back in front of the first bedroom!
