[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Luochun ate dim sum at Mrs. Xing's place, put a piece of glutinous rice ball with five kernels in his mouth, picked up a piece of soufflé biscuit and handed it to Mrs. Xing.Jinping took the soup and put it in front of Luochun.Luo Chun sat on the table and took a sip, then opened his mouth, kept fanning the wind around his mouth, and shouted: "Ah, it's so hot, so hot!" "

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xing couldn't help laughing and said: "What about it? Although you don't see much meat these days because of Rong's daughter-in-law, it's not so greedy." Luo Chun picked up the soup , slowly stirring in the soup bowl, facing Mrs. Xing's teasing, replied: "It's not like you don't know the craftsmanship of our cook mother, even if you stir-fry vegetables, you can't wait to use more than a dozen chickens to match it. Don't you think it's too hard for them to let them serve as plain seats?"

"The craftsmanship shouldn't be that bad, right?" Mrs. Xing expressed doubts about Luo Chun's words: "Your second aunt has to eat vegetarian food for a few days every month, if they don't do well, it's your turn to dislike them. "It was sent away by Mrs. Wang a long time ago.

Luo Chun curled her lips and said, "I'm really good at making tofu and gluten. I guess Second Aunt eats these two days every month when she is fasting. Other than that, it's not worth mentioning. But no matter how much tofu and gluten It's delicious, just like my second aunt, it's okay to eat it occasionally in the middle of the interval, if you eat it every day, you will get tired of eating even delicious things."

"The cooks in the mansion over there are good at cooking vegetarian dishes. Since you dislike the food cooked at home, you stay in the East Mansion and eat before coming back. You refuse, so you are asking for trouble. You deserve it." " Mrs. Xing reached out and tapped Luochun's forehead, angrily said.

When mentioning the East Mansion, Luo Chun felt stuffy. She sighed and said, "Uncle Jing became a Taoist priest, so he has to be a vegetarian. The cooks in the mansion are not good at cooking vegetarian dishes. It is said that the cooks in our mansion are two-handed. I still learned it from the East Mansion." After a pause, "Although the cooks over there are good, the mansion is in a mess, and the smoke and fires in the mansion are so choking that people's brains hurt, and there are crying, chanting, wooden fish, etc. The sound...shocked the sky, coupled with the white eyes, the people who came out and went in all had drooping faces and looked sad. Under such circumstances, how could they still have the appetite to eat? Even if it was for me to eat dragon liver and phoenix Marrow, I can’t even taste it, so I’d better come back. Although the food is not very delicious, at least I’m not in such a depressed mood, and I can taste it.”

After hearing Luochun's words, Mrs. Xing couldn't help shaking her head and laughing: "You have a lot of things to do, and you are a picky child..." Shuangxi interrupted her from the outside, and replied: "Madam, the one next to my aunt Nanny Bai came to see the wife." Mrs. Xing was taken aback for a moment before realizing that this is someone who came back from Yangzhou?This white nanny is Jia Min's companion, the most useful person around Jia Min, but why does she come to see her?Does it represent Jia Min? ... Mrs. Xing was puzzled and couldn't figure out the reason, but she said calmly, "Let her in."

Shuangxi led the order to go out, and after a while brought in an old woman in a blue-gray long waistcoat.After Bai Momo entered the room, she knelt down in front of Mrs. Xing with a plop and kowtowed several times.Mrs. Xing was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Jinxiu to help Nanny Bai up, and said, "What are you doing, I can't afford such a big gift. Hurry up, Jinxiu, help her up quickly."

Nanny Bai reached out her hand to stop Jinxiu from helping her, straightened up and said to Mrs. Xing, "Mrs. Uncle, this is what my wife deserves. If it wasn't for Mrs. Uncle, our wife, young lady and young master wouldn't know about it." How is it? Our wife was supposed to come to thank my uncle and wife in person, but our master passed away, and our wife took the girl and the young master back to my hometown in Gusu to observe filial piety. We couldn’t return to Beijing in a short time, so our wife sent me Come here and thank my uncle and wife for her. I am clumsy, and I don’t know how to express my wife and us servants’ gratitude to my uncle and wife, so I can only kowtow to my uncle and wife here. mind."

After receiving the news that Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, Jia Min, Jia Lian and his party packed up and hurried on the road to Yangzhou.In the name of Mrs. Xing, Luochun prepared a lot of food and clothing, as well as many precious medicinal materials, and sent them to Jia Min's boat, accompanied by Zhang Youshi, a medical expert.It was about her husband, Jia Min was very anxious, and urged the boat to go fast along the way. It was very difficult to travel day and night, because they were in a hurry, so they didn't bring all the things they brought, and Jia Min, Daiyu and Lin Lang were all in poor health. She was not very healthy, but fortunately Luochun had prepared a lot of things in advance, and Zhang Youshi did her best to help Kaifang recuperate, so when she arrived in Yangzhou, the sick Jia Minniang did not collapse.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai was already dying of illness. Although Zhang Youshi tried his best to save his life, but because of his existence, although Jia Min fell ill in bed after losing her husband, she survived and was saved. In order to avoid the crisis of the Lin family organizing another funeral after the funeral of the male master, Daiyu and Lin Lang lost their mother after losing their father, and became orphans.Although Jia Min was able to make it through because he couldn't let go of a pair of children who were still young, Zhang Youshi's contribution cannot be denied, and Zhang Youshi was invited by "Mrs. Mrs. Xing was so grateful that she almost offered her sister-in-law three incense sticks sooner or later.So when Jia Lian sent Zhao'er back to Beijing to report the letter, she sent Nanny Bai back to thank Madam Xing on her behalf, and to answer Jia's mother by the way.

Although Luochun did not explain everything to Mrs. Xing, but Mrs. Xing accepted Luochun's suggestion and helped Jia Min and the others to prepare a lot of things, so she did not feel abrupt or surprised by Nanny Bai's gratitude. , Said: "The aunt is a careful and thoughtful person. If the news of the aunt hadn't disturbed her thoughts, although she was in the capital, her heart was not here. She would have flown to Yangzhou long ago, and it would not be my turn to prepare. They all said 'Long Sister-in-law is like a mother. As the eldest sister-in-law, I should think of everything ahead of time. It is not my duty to do something. The whole family is of flesh and blood. If my aunt says that, I will be born. Hurry up, Jinxiu, Fubai Sister-in-law get up."

Taking a small stick, Madam Bai sat down to talk. Mrs. Xing looked at Nanny Bai's neat attire, and asked, "When did you arrive in Yangzhou? I heard from you just now that my aunt passed by. On what day?" What are your plans? " Madam Bai leaned forward slightly, and said, "We arrived in Yangzhou on August [-]th, and the master disappeared on the sixth day of September. After finishing the work in Yangzhou After the master's funeral, the second master Lian accompanied our wife to Fuling back to Suzhou. What our wife meant was that although the Lin family in Suzhou is not prosperous and has limited descendants, even though there are several families, they are all members of the same family as our master. , I don’t have any relatives, but I can’t write two Lin characters in one stroke, and Gusu is the place where the Lin family lives for generations, and the Lin family’s ancestral house is also here, so I want to take the girl and the young master to guard the master’s house in Suzhou. Xiao, I’m going to Beijing again, so I’m sent here to talk to the old lady.”

Because Lin Lang has been judged unable to study martial arts, he is destined not to be an official, and he is alone, without a brother to help him, so Jia Min means that he wants to take the opportunity of giving Lin Ruhai a filial piety to get close to the children of the Lin family.Mrs. Xing nodded after hearing this, and said: "My aunt is very worried." She sighed and said: "My aunt will become a lone goose after my aunt leaves. I know that their husband and wife are deeply in love. The time may not be able to accept such a blow, you people around you should persuade her more, let her not be too sad, and pay more attention to the child in everything, Daiyu and Lang'er are still young, but they are still counting on her."

Bai Momo raised her eyebrows and replied solemnly: "Thank you, uncle and madam, for your suggestion." A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Now our young master Lang is also a promising person. The master of the family devoted himself to his duties, worked hard, died of illness in his post, and thought that the Lin family is the descendant of heroes, so he specially rewarded Young Master Lang with the title of 'Lieutenant of Fengguo'."

Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "Yo, this is a happy event. Later, when my aunt comes to Beijing, I must congratulate her..." Halfway through her words, she stopped thinking about the origin of this title.

"Zhao'er, who went to Suzhou, is here." Sister Feng hurriedly called in. Zhao'er greeted Qian'er. Sister Feng asked, "What are you doing back?" "The second master took Miss Lin and sent Aunt Lin to Suzhou, and he will be back around the end of the year. The second master sent a letter to say hello, ask the old lady to show me, and also to see how well grandma's house is, and call Da Mao Bring some clothes. Sister Feng said, "Have you seen anyone else?" Zhao'er said, "I've seen them all." After finishing speaking, she quickly retreated. Sister Feng smiled at Baoyu and said, "Your sister Lin has lived in our house for a long time." Baoyu said, "It's amazing. I don't know how much he has been crying these days." "As he said, he frowned and sighed.

"Zhao'er, who went to Suzhou, is here." Sister Feng hurriedly called in. Zhao'er greeted Qian'er. Sister Feng asked, "What are you doing back?" "The second master took Miss Lin and sent the spirit of Mrs. Lin to Suzhou, and he will be back around the end of the year. The second master sent a letter to say hello, ask the old lady to show me, and also to see how well grandma's house is, and call Da Mao Bring some clothes. Sister Feng said, "Have you seen anyone else?" Zhao'er said, "I've seen them all." "After finishing speaking, he quickly retreated.
