[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Luo Chunfan looked at the recent imperial palace newspapers taken out of Jia She's study, and couldn't help covering his face in thought. It seems that the court has not been peaceful recently, the Yellow River burst its embankment, Jiangnan land annexation, water transportation, salt tax, corruption... Everything is a big deal.And even though it was not clearly stated in the mansion newspaper, Luo Chun could still tell from it that Jiangnan was not very safe.From these things in Jiangnan, she thought of Lin Ruhai who was an official in Yangzhou, and then thought of Jia Min and Daiyu who were in the mansion now.

"Girl, girl?" Saori called in a low voice, bringing Luo Chun back to reality from the fugue. "Huh?" Luochun came back to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?" Saori replied, "Girl, didn't you ask my father to find someone to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Zhang Youshi, who was treating Grandma Xiao Rong? My father sent a message in. It said that Mr. Zhang is now living in General Feng Ziying's house, and his work and rest are relatively regular. Going back to Feng’s house for lunch, in the afternoon I would ask the officials for news, or visit friends, or visit guests, or go shopping...because I just watched from afar, and the girl repeatedly told me not to disturb the other party, so my father asked No one dares to get close, so I don't know exactly where Mr. Zhang went, but if the girl wants to, she should be able to find out as long as she gives some time."

"No need." Luochun shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in Mr. Zhang's friendship, it's enough to know that there is a Feng family behind him." Saori asked curiously: "Girl, why is it for no reason?" Do you want to keep an eye on this Mr. Zhang? Even if this Mr. Zhang is good, the old lady specially asked him to come over to treat the aunt, the young master, and the cousin, but this seems to have nothing to do with us. Why did the girl do this? "

Luo Chunchang sighed and explained: "Let's plan ahead. There are some things I just settle for now, but I can't tell if I can use them later or not. In fact, if possible, I sincerely hope that I won't be able to use them. "It's okay if Luochun doesn't explain, but when she explained, Shazhi became even more confused, her eyes were full of question marks, and she said in bewilderment: "I can understand every word the girl said, but why can't I understand it after a while? .”

"It's good if you don't understand. I hope you can keep on understanding." Luo Chun said meaningfully. "Okay, don't think about it if you don't understand. Maybe you will understand one day in the future, but at that time you will feel that it is best if you don't understand. Go, pour me a cup of tea." Saori was full of doubts Went to pour tea for Luochun.Luo Chun turned her gaze back to the newspaper in her hand, tapped on the table, thinking about something.

Wang Shanbao's family came in quietly holding a box, and seeing Luochun immersed in his own thoughts and ignoring others, Shazhi used tea as a cover and stepped forward and called softly: "Girl, Mrs. Wang is here to greet the girl. Luochun came back to his senses and saw Wang Baoshan's family standing on the side. Before she could speak, Wang Shanbao's family laughed first: "My son happened to get some fresh oranges outside, and I specially sent them to the girl." Let the girl have a taste."

"It's hard for my sister-in-law to miss me." Luochun motioned for Shazhi to come forward and take the box from Wang Shanbao's family.Wang Shanbao's family smiled and said: "Actually, apart from giving the girl a few oranges to try, there is something else I would like to ask the girl to show me." Luochun laughed and joked: "Sister-in-law is really not Don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do, if you have anything to do, let's talk."

Wang Shanbao's family looked left and right, looked troubled, hesitated, and did not open their mouths.Seeing her embarrassed expression, Luochun understood a little bit, first asked all the maids and women who were serving in the room to retreat, and then ordered Shazhi to guard the door, and then said: "Tell me, what is it that makes you Are you so embarrassing?" Wang Shanbao's family still didn't speak, with a hesitant look on his face. Seeing this, Luochun urged impatiently: "What is it, you should tell me. It's so sticky and unpleasant. , there is no one else in this room except you and me, what came out of your mouth came into my ears, what are you hesitating about?"

"It is reasonable to say that this should not be said to the girl. After all, the girl is a girl who has not left the court, but this matter is a big deal. If I don't say it, if there is an accident in the future, I will definitely die. , so I can only be brave, and I don’t care if it’s appropriate or not.” Before speaking, Wang Shanbao’s family first said such a nonsense, and then said: “My eldest daughter-in-law is in Xing The third aunt knew that Dalang’s wife was his wife, so she didn’t ask her to serve her. Although my eldest daughter-in-law didn’t serve in front of the third aunt, there were only a few people serving in the house, and the couple were in charge. Purchases in the mansion, so I still know a thing or two about what happened in the mansion. I once mentioned to the girl that the third aunt had a close relationship with the sister-in-law of the Qian family who lived nearby, and the two even started a business of selling flowers and trees together. The flowers and trees sold by my aunt were moved from my wife. This is a no-cost business, but the third aunt said that the business lost money and sent the things from the house to the pawnshop. A few days ago, when my uncle came back, my eldest daughter-in-law I also heard that the third aunt asked my uncle for the deed of the house they live in now..."

Luochun knew about Aunt Xing's sale of flowers and trees to save money for her private house, because she suspected that Mrs. Xing knew about it, but Mrs. Xing let it go, so she didn't care about it, but I heard that Aunt Xing sent it to the pawn shop. He asked Xing Dequan for the house deed, and couldn't help but said: "Aunt San, is she crazy? What is she doing? I know she wants to save the dowry, but there is no such way. After selling the house, she asked uncle Where do you live with Uncle and his family? Doesn't she think that she is separated from my mother, and my mother won't care about her, so she wants to sell the house and recruit her son-in-law? "

The latter sentence Luochun was purely joking to alleviate the anger in her heart, but Wang Shanbao's family showed a strange expression after hearing her words, Luochun was startled for a while, and asked in disbelief: "No, is it possible that it is true?" Did I hit it?" Wang Shanbao's family said: "I heard from my eldest daughter-in-law that the third aunt and sister-in-law Qian said that the wife didn't give her money or prepare a dowry for her, so she could only delay it year after year. Let's just wait for the old age to grow old, and there is nothing we can do now, so this is why we plan to sell the house and recruit a son-in-law."

"Crack!" Luo Chun was furious when she heard this, slapped her hand on the table, and said angrily, "What kind of talk is this? What do you mean I don't care about her? If mother really ignores her, why would she be taken to Beijing? If you don't give her money, where will her food, clothing, housing and transportation come from after she has been in Beijing for such a long time? Recruiting a son-in-law? Isn't the Xing family's men dead, so is there any need for her to recruit a son-in-law? Where do you put it?" Immediately, Luochun remembered something, and asked: "Since the third aunt has said this, shouldn't the candidates be found?"

The face of Wang Shanbao's family showed embarrassment, and he ate and said: "Sister-in-law Qian introduced one. According to my eldest daughter-in-law, the character is quite outstanding. As for the family background, I don't know, but according to sister-in-law Qian, there seems to be one." The house has land..."

After hearing what Wang Shanbao's family said, Luo Chun didn't know what to say.Is it because the man's appearance is so good that he is so fascinated by Aunt Xing's five souls that she forgot about etiquette, justice, and shame; or is it that Aunt Xing is crazy about wanting to marry, so she just ignores a suitable man; or It's because her thinking is so avant-garde;...but no matter what the reason is, if it gets out, Aunt Xing will not be the only one who will be discredited at that time, and whether it is in her hometown or in the capital, once such a thing happens, Mrs. Xing and Luo Spring will follow.

Luo Chun finally understood why Wang Shanbao's family was so hesitant to talk about it at first, because it was really difficult to talk about it in this era.At the same time, Luochun is also thankful for Mrs. Xing's messy education to her. If it wasn't for this, Wang Shanbao's family wouldn't be able to tell this kind of thing to her, an unmarried girl raised in a deep house.Luochun also understands why Wang Shanbao's family chose to tell her immediately instead of Mrs. Xing.As far as Mrs. Xing's temper and brains are concerned, it is difficult to expect her to solve the matter silently.It would be embarrassing if the people in the house knew about the trouble.If it can't be solved, Mrs. Xing can only discuss it with someone, but she can't tell others about it. The final object of discussion can only be Luochun, so Wang Shanbao's family simply disclosed the matter to Luochun first.

"Bah!" Luochun interrupted Wang Shanbao's family with a sneer, and said: "The character is outstanding, and the family has a house and land but is willing to come to be a son-in-law. This is fooling ghosts, and even ghosts don't believe it!" Wang Shanbao's family listened to Luochun. Then, with a thud, I couldn't help but want to laugh, and then remembered that the occasion was wrong, and hurriedly suppressed the smile that came to my lips, so that my face was so weird. Seeing the expression on Wang Shanbao's family, Luochun immediately understood why she was laughing, yes Ah, I didn't believe in ghosts at first, but now there is an idiot with no brains who believes it is true.

Luo Chun frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "I heard you mention this sister-in-law Qian in a daze before, saying that her family lives in the capital, and her husband works as a small official in the yamen, is that so?" Wang Shanbao hurriedly replied: "Yes, the girl has a good memory, that's exactly what it is." Luochun rested her chin on her hands, and asked after a while: "Do you know what kind of person she is?" , trying to figure out Luochun's state of mind, and said: "Girl, I didn't send anyone to inquire about this." He let out a long breath, laughed twice, and said, "Girl, to be honest, don't be angry. Just like the third aunt's temper , to be able to get so close to her, and to be so close to her..."

Wang Shanbao's family refused to go on with the rest, but Luochun already understood.Originally, Luochun thought that if this sister-in-law Qian was reliable, then the person she introduced might be able to live in other aspects besides poverty. , Whether it's recruiting a husband or getting married, just follow her.Anyway, the water thrown by the married daughter, once Aunt Xing got married, she will be far away from Mrs. Xing's ties to what she will do again.Whether life is good or bad at that time, the left and right choices are made by herself, and she can't blame others.

But let Wang Shanbao's family say this, Luochun knew that her plan would fail, because she could watch Aunt Xing being cheated and it didn't matter, but Mrs. Xing couldn't.Mrs. Xing's coldness is back to her coldness, but she still has that bit of sisterhood in her heart.Anyway, Aunt Xing is her own sister after all. If she didn't know it at the beginning and was kept in the dark, there was nothing she could do. But since she knew it was a scam and let her watch Aunt Xing jump into it, Madame can't do it.

Luo Chun let out a long sigh helplessly, she was afraid of such relatives, because the blood relationship would be cut off no matter what, so she couldn't get rid of her.Thoughts diverged, Luochun suddenly thought of Tanchun and Aunt Zhao, every time Tanchun mentioned Aunt Zhao's face of resentment and disgust mixed with other complex emotions, she was always worthless for Aunt Zhao , I feel that no matter how bad Aunt Zhao is, how she can’t bring it up, and how she can embarrass her, but she is her biological mother after all, but now she suddenly understands Tanchun’s mood, some things are really not simple and can be used blood can be explained.If possible, she also hoped that she would not have a relative like Aunt Xing.Otherwise, it's better to hide far away and not see each other.
