Aunt Zhao's happy life

After this catastrophe, Mrs. Wang's health deteriorated every day, except for a few words with Aunt Xue Baochai, she just stayed in the room eating fast and praying to Buddha.Baochai could not be distracted from her husband and mother.All the big and small matters in the family are decided by Aunt Zhao, which is quite appropriate.

Fortunately, Ruyan, Zhenmo, Changsheng and Fugui were all detained with Aunt Zhao at the beginning, and they are not separated now.

Jia Zheng has never been good at housekeeping, and now he has to call a few people who are on the family's errands to plan the next household expenses and earning a living.The property of the house was arranged before the ransacking, and the money from the sale of the house in the two prefectures could last for a while. Compared with other people in Jia's mansion, it was considered much more generous.

Aunt Zhao comforted Mrs. Wang and Baochai from time to time, saying: "At the beginning when we lived in Nanchang Mansion, although we lived in a better place, had a higher status, and had a few more people at our disposal, in fact we lived like this now. We just need to settle down. It’s okay to manage the fields and live a poor life, and Zhenmo, Ruyan and I can do some needlework to subsidize the family.” Baochai nodded and said yes, but Mrs. Wang was getting thinner day by day, and her body was also getting weaker. Gradually, I couldn't hold it anymore, so that I often lingered on the bed.Every time she looked at Baoyu's dazed figure, she felt as if a stone was pressing on her heart and she couldn't breathe.

The king of Beijing inquired about Baoyu's residence and went to visit him personally, but Baoyu stared blankly at the front and let Jia Zheng lead him to salute without saying anything.The king of Beijing signaled Jia Zheng to retreat, and privately took Baoyu's hand: "Are you sad, or are you really stupid?" Baoyu smiled straight: "It's the same."

King Bei Jing said: "I've heard that your cousin, Miss Lin, is gone. I felt sorry for a long time, but after all, we are not destined." After hearing this, Baoyu's tears rolled down line by line: "Sister Lin..."

The King of Beijing knew that he was not completely unconscious, because he said: "She is a blessed person. If she suffers from that prison, she is even more afraid of being kidnapped, trafficked and robbed, and she is a slave. How can she bear it? God can't bear her. You are wronged, so let her go first, you should be happy."

Baoyu smiled sadly: "Take her away, why leave me! She has gone to become a fairy, what do I want to do with my life!"

King Beijing pretended to be angry and said: "How can you say such unfaithful and unfilial words! Not to mention that the Holy One is extraordinarily merciful to the Jia family, just say that your parents are the only ones who can be relied on at the moment, and you will continue to be like this all day long if you don't revive the family business." Is it okay for you to make them worry? I heard that your mother is very sick. Who in Manchu is not sad? You should restrain yourself to some extent. If the Holy Majesty thinks about the old love, look at you like this, you will feel happy It's gray too. Besides, why would I just watch you suffer and ignore it? It's best to relax in everything."

Baoyu didn't answer, and King Beijing ordered someone to leave some silver on the table, went out to bid farewell to Jia Zheng, and left full of regret.

On this day, Jia Zheng got the news that Yingchun was beaten by her husband's family after being seriously ill at Sun Shaozu's house, and she died and was buried hastily.Sighing with Aunt Zhao, I wanted to hide it from Mrs. Wang, but Aunt Xue heard it and told it. Mrs. Wang fell on her pillow and cried bitterly when she heard it. In addition, she heard that Xichun had become a nun, and no one could persuade her. She was determined to stay away from the world of mortals, which made Mrs. Wang feel like a knife was twisting her heart even more.She lived a noble life, how could she bear the cruel news one after another!

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Wang forced herself to take a bath to worship the Buddha, called the few people around her, and said to Aunt Xue: "Sister, it's unbelievable that our family will end up in this situation! Pan'er's sentence is coming soon. You can rely on Baochai, if I knew this, I shouldn’t have painstakingly allocated this child to Baoyu, and ruined her for nothing!” He took Baochai’s hand again: “Good boy, it’s hard for you, Baoyu will be handed over to you later. Well, it's your husband, it depends on your luck, I will go to heaven to protect you!"

Baochai wiped away her tears: "Auntie, don't say that, get over it, better days are to come!"

Although Baoyu was stunned, seeing Mrs. Wang's situation at this time, she knelt on the ground with a stuffy nose and throat, and tears poured down, lying on the bed next to Mrs. Wang's face.Mrs. Wang wept and said: "My son, I hurt you a lot. I never expected... This is the ending of our family. You understand it in your heart. Mother only hopes that you will get better soon. Your father is old. , who can this family rely on?"

Jia Zheng said: "Don't talk about being discouraged, isn't it good to live like this now? I have long wanted to live in the countryside, and now I have achieved my wish. You also said how comfortable life is for ordinary people. Now you just rest and recuperate. You don’t have to worry about a lot of things all the time.”

A gentle smile appeared on Mrs. Wang's face: "Cunzhou, I have been in your house for decades and have enjoyed all the blessings. It is my luck to marry a decent person like you. You don't have to comfort me, I know I have come to the end, I will live a good life with Aunt Zhao in the future, Baoyu doesn't know if he can win in the future, and please take care of him, sir, he will have no mother in the future!"

Jia Zheng felt sore, and said softly, "Don't worry..."

Mrs. Wang's eyes shone brighter than ever before: "Cunzhou, I did some wrong things in the past because I loved you. For this sake, please forgive me! All my life, I have done something wrong. I entrusted myself to you without any second thoughts. In front of these people, I am not afraid to say it. Anyway, I am also a person who is going to die. I have loved you deeply for decades. I still love you, don't worry about you..."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao burst into tears, and Mrs. Wang said, "Lan'er seems like a good seedling. Although their mother and son are living alone now, you still have to check it out from time to time and give more money. After all, it's my grandson!" Jia Zheng nodded hurriedly.

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes, calmed down for a while, and stretched out her hand to Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to hold it: "Ma'am!" Mrs. Wang said with tears, "Sister, I hurt you at the beginning. I recite scriptures and repent, and hope that my sister will not bear any grudges. In the future, this family will take care of you, especially the master's body, and you need to take care of it. Baoyu, Baochai, and my sister, you should also remember more. You are a kind person, the Diamond Sutra I copied is in the box at your feet, give it to you!"

For a while, Mrs. Wang said she was thirsty again, asked if there was any ginseng soup, and said to herself, "What kind of fields are there, where did you get the ginseng!"

Sure enough, when the only ginseng was found, Mrs. Wang was already dying. She gritted her teeth and refused to close her eyes. She looked around the room, as if she hated everything in the world.

Baochai and Aunt Xue leaned over to snuggle up to her, Aunt Zhao changed her clothes, Zhenmo and Ruyan were busy scrubbing her, Madam Wang ordered with her last strength: "Cunzhou, give Rui'er a title... It's not easy for her..." Jia Zheng nodded, and she died with a smile.

Mrs. Wang's funeral was organized by Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao. The filial piety was propped up, the courtyard was filled with white paper, the coffin was buried, the coffin was greeted and sent, and the coffin was kept crying. It took more than half a month.Before he could catch his breath, the day of Xue Pan's execution came. Baochai and Aunt Xue both fainted and couldn't recover for several months.

Until the beginning of spring, Jia Zheng chose an auspicious day to straighten Aunt Zhao, at which time Aunt Zhao officially became Jia Zheng's wife.

Jia Zheng saw that Aunt Zhao didn't put on makeup every day since she came to the countryside, and she was busy making a living for the whole family, so she said, "Rui'er, you are a serious wife now, so let's spend a few days at leisure. Let them do it!" Ruier said: "I'm a housewife, how can I sit around by myself? I don't feel at ease at all! I said you should quickly put away your original bookishness, don't have nothing in mind!"

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "Okay! I will listen to you from now on!"

Aunt Zhao said: "Then why don't you go and see if Baoyu is better, and check Huan'er's homework! I'm too busy, so you can go and see Lan'er and his wife, what are you doing in front of me every day!" "

Jia Zheng laughed and said, "Of order! What Madam said is true!"

After returning from Li Wan and Jia Lan's mother and son, Jia Zheng said: "I also stopped by to see Lian'er. Ping'er is busier than you when she becomes a wife. She is really like a mother to Qiao. Don't tell me , Lian'er has always been dissatisfied with Sister Feng, but now she is submissive to Ping'er who is so gentle, repairing the roof at home, and hoarding firewood, who doesn't know who believes that he is the son of the Jia family!"

Aunt Zhao asked: "Sister Qiao is growing up too, has Lian'er engaged her?"

Jia Zhengdao: "I was just about to say that there was a wealthy owner in Grandma Liu's village. He saw Qiao's sister when he took refuge, and knew about our Jia family's affairs. He asked to marry Qiao's sister! He also said that Qiao's sister The noble body of a thousand gold is wrapped in silk and satin, not like a rich man in the country, please don't dislike it!"

Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "This child is really blessed! Sister Feng was kind to Grandma Liu at the beginning, but now that the blessings have been given to the child, she can rest in peace! How is the son of that family?"

Jia Zhengdao: "Lian'er is the only daughter, and she doesn't care about etiquette. She went to see the house in person and said that the child is also a good-looking person, willing to study and make progress, and she is also humble and gentle. I am very satisfied! Don't look at others. Not from a government like ours, our family also has thousands of hectares of land, hundreds of livestock, and a lot of silver and money, but nothing like the usual exotic things in our family. They also flattered Lian'er and said, don't look down on them, If they married Sister Qiao, they would take care of the whole family and treat her well. By the way, Lian'er has better money now, and gave her the money that Grandma Liu sold the house and land to redeem Sister Qiao. Now Grandma Liu also has a few acres of good land at home. They also dug a well, planted some melons, fruits and vegetables, and sold them for some money, there’s more to eat!”

Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "Good people get rewarded! This is her good fortune! Lan'er must still work hard like that?"

Jia Zhengdao: "He went to school again and studied hard day and night. His mother also worked hard, and she will be fine in the future." He pointed to Baoyu's room and said, "If Baoyu gets better, it will be even better!"

Aunt Zhao said: "Don't worry, he will be fine!"
