[Red House + Space] Falling Spring

Pinxiu and Sazhi came in from the outside with a happy expression, and saw Luochun standing in the yard under the peach tree in a daze, the two walked up, and Sazhi asked curiously: "Girl, what are you thinking about?" ?”

Luo Chun came back to his senses, glanced at the two of them, pointed at the peaches the size of cherries half hidden in the luxuriant leaves, and said with some melancholy: "Since the tree was planted, it hasn't produced many fruit in total. Back to the fruit, this peach tree blooms well this year and bears a lot of fruit, but I don’t know if I can wait until the day when the peaches are ripe, is there such a blessing, can I eat it?”

Pinxiu and Shazhi glanced at each other when they heard the words, Pinxiu took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Young lady's words are strange, this tree grows here well, and no one ruins it. When the peaches are ripe in winter At that time, the girl can eat as much as she wants, and she can keep it for the girl to eat enough, so why is there no good food? I’m afraid that the girl will get tired of eating and don’t want to eat.”

Saori nodded desperately at the side and said in agreement: "Yes, yes, this tree was planted in the girl's yard. It has no insects or diseases. It has only been planted for a few years. It is a good time to bear fruit. As long as the girl wants to eat, don't eat it. Say this year, next year and the next year will be fine.”

Luochun smiled, Pinxiu and Sazhiming knew what she meant, and they were just pretending to be stupid with herself, she didn't go any further, turned around and entered the room, changed the subject, and asked: "You guys go to Lixiangyuan to visit Xiangling , is Xiangling's illness cured?"

The two were silent, Luochun didn't hear the answer, looked back in surprise, and asked: "What's wrong? Is Xiangling seriously ill?" Saori shook her head quickly and said: "No, Xiangling's illness It's ready." Hearing this, Luochun asked in puzzlement: "Since it's already finished, why are you like this?"

Pinxiu said with a serious face: "Girl, the case of Mr. Xue's family has been judged, and he will be executed after autumn. When we went to Lixiangyuan, the concubine was scolding Xiangling, calling her a disaster, a disaster, and a seductive person." Hu Meizi... The concubine believes that it is she who caused the Xue family to fall into this field... It is said that since the Xue family was captured by the criminals, the concubine has never given Xiangling a good face. In fact, Xiangling's illness That’s where it comes from.”

Listening to Pinxiu retelling Aunt Xue's words cursing Xiangling, Luochun somehow thought of the words Aunt Xue said when she served wine to treat guests, to show off Xiangling, and to be a concubine for Xue Pan Mingtang, and felt funny in her heart.Seeing the expressions of Pinxiu and Shazhi complaining about Xiangling, she chuckled and said disapprovingly: "Don't complain about Xiangling, what's the point of scolding? A good son because She went to prison, and she was about to die when she saw Qiu, even if it wasn't her fault, she was also the 'cause' after all, don't blame her, who is to blame? You can't blame yourself for raising and not teaching, right?" Although the verdict They have already come down, but the Xue family will never give up. They will definitely run around before the autumn decision. Please, find a way to save Xue Pan. Thinking of this, Luochun sighed and said, "If Xue Pan really can't be rescued, I lost my life because of this, what is this trifling, she will have to suffer in the future.”

After hearing Luochun's words, Pinxiu and Shazhi understood what she meant, and immediately fell silent.In fact, even if Luochun doesn't say anything, they all understand the truth, but even if everyone knows that Xiangling is innocent from beginning to end, Xue Pan, who committed the crime, involves Xue Pan's life. How could aunt reason with Xiangling?

Pinxiu sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Girl, when we went to Lixiangyuan, we saw Xue's family packing up their things. I heard from their servants that Xue's family is going to move out."

"Move away?" Luo Chun was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, the Xue family should move out." family, with the meaning of relying on the power of the Jia family to support her family. Of course, Aunt Xue thought that if Baochai failed to be elected, she would marry the Jia family and achieve a "golden and jade marriage". , Jiamu faces each other day and night, can't you get the moon first if you are close to the water.Now, the Jia family is in a precarious situation and cannot rely on the Xue family. Maybe they still have the idea of ​​letting the Xue family serve as a "money bag" for their own family, but the Xue family may not be willing to send money to the Jia family at this moment. Throwing it in a "bottomless pit" that doesn't fall to the bottom at first sight, it will be embarrassing for the Xue family to live in the mansion again, so moving away is the best policy.

"However, I heard from Xiangling that the Xue family did not move to the aunt's natal house, but to the Xue family's own house in Beijing. Moreover, shortly after the Xue family uncle was taken away by the people of the Ministry of Justice, their family The qualifications of the imperial merchants have been taken away. Without the qualifications of the imperial merchants, the Xue family will be the same as ordinary merchants. Now that the uncle of the Xue family is in prison again, when they move out, only the concubine and the eldest daughter of the Xue family will be together. It's a girl, I don't have a man to support the family, I'm afraid life will be difficult." Pinxiu said a little worried.

"What? The Xue family's imperial merchant qualifications have been lost?" Hearing the information leaked in Pinxiu's words, Luochun was very surprised. Mother woke up and sneezed in the morning, and the concierge in the mansion knew about it before breakfast.Xue's family lives in Lixiangyuan. Although they also brought people here, there are also many servants of Jia's family working in Lixiangyuan, but after such a long time, there is no news, so they couldn't help sighing: " The Xue family kept the news very tight."

As for the Xue family did not move to the Wang family, but went to live in their own house, Luo Chun was not surprised. When the Xue family first came to Beijing, logically speaking, it was appropriate to live in the Wang family, but Aunt Xue kept serious Instead of going to live in my mother's house, I borrowed my sister's house, which already explained the problem.The situation of the Xue family is not as good as it was when they first entered Beijing, they were entangled in lawsuits, and the Wang family never recruited the Xue family at the beginning, so it would be even more impossible for them to move there.

"Sister Pinxiu, you are too worried." Shazhi interjected and said, "Although my concubine's family is not qualified as an imperial merchant, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and it is only a disqualification of the imperial merchant, not a matter of concern." I have a business in Beijing, and there are many servants and servants in the family, so why is life difficult? Although there are no men in the family, there are only two women, the concubine and the eldest daughter of the Xue family, but as long as the concubine closes the door tightly, life will be difficult. The aunt's natal Wang's family is still standing there!"

What Shazhi said is reasonable, although the Wang family is unwilling to let Aunt Xue bring Baochai to live in their own house, but Aunt Xue is the daughter of the Wang family anyway, so she will not just watch them being bullied, but will still take care of them mother and daughter.

Seeing Pinxiu and Shazhi talking endlessly about the Xue family's affairs, Luo Chun interrupted them with a smile: "Okay, the Xue family's affairs should be taken care of by the Xue family, so there's no use for you irrelevant people here. Worry. I'll go to my mother's place now, and Luo'er will just follow me. You two stay in the room, sort out my old things, and make a summary."

After arranging work for pin embroidery and yarn weaving, Luochun brought Luo'er to Mrs. Xing's yard.After entering the room, Mrs. Xing was looking through the big winter clothes with Jinping, Shuangxi, Wufu and maids, ready to take them out to dry.Seeing that Luochun was about to walk in after entering the room, Mrs. Xing hurriedly said: "You just stand there and don't move, you don't need to come in, this room is already messy enough, if you come in again, it will add to the chaos .Besides, fiddling with this will raise a lot of dust. You are a clean little girl. You will be disgraced after sitting here for a while, and you will have to take a shower and wash your hair when you go back. Not to mention the trouble, it will be troublesome." Pulling Luochun Walking outside, "Let's go sit next door and give this place to them."

Turning around to remind Jinping, Mrs. Xing took Luochun's hand and came to the west room, and the two sat down on the side of the kang, separated by the kang table.The little girl put tea and fruit on the kang table, Mrs. Xing waved her hand and said, "You don't need to wait in this room, you all go down." After sending out all the maids and women who were waiting in the room, she smiled , Said: "It's a coincidence that you came here. Even if you don't come, I was thinking of sending someone to call you over. The mansion is going to be abolished, and Feng girl sent someone to tell me, let me send the remaining people Report to her the list of those who will be laid off, and you can help me read the details and see who will be kept in my yard and who will not be kept."

Luochun picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, held the teacup in his hand, did not drink it, stared at the light brown tea in the teacup, and asked, "What is mother thinking?" Mrs. Xing squeezed He put a piece of candied fruit into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said, "According to me, of course I keep the ones that serve me well, but it's not that simple, and you don't know You, the second sister-in-law, such a person who loves to seize power, took the initiative to hand over this matter, so you know this is a hot potato." After a break, he said gracefully: "The family in this house has a son from the old country. Starting from the generation of the father, several generations have been married, and the relationship is complicated. The seven aunts and the eight aunts, who are inconspicuous in this courtyard, are a rough envoy. Maybe they are some capable relatives in the mansion. If people are laid off, they will offend others. You don’t know these grandmas in our house, they usually look like no one in their eyes, they are very scheming, how can they think of me as a big wife, if they really offend them, I still don’t know what they are secretly tripping me up with.”

"Yes, if the second sister-in-law is a little worse, she will be overwhelmed by these people." Luo Chun followed up with a sigh, and then said: "This matter is as difficult as mother said." Seeing that Madam Xing frowned, She smiled again: "But mother, don't worry, it would be difficult to handle this matter on weekdays, but today is different, so it is the easiest thing to do now, and it is finally done. Not only will mother not offend anyone, but It’s still a good one.”
