By Jia Xiuzhen

About Baochai and Xiangyun, Li Wan Tanchun sent someone here to talk to Sister Feng, and they made everyone move.Xiangyun lived in the house where Baoqin lived when he was here, and Li Wan asked Primrose Qingyu to help, but it stopped within half a day.Seeing many people rushing in and out, Xiangyun silently counted them and asked Cuilu to take the money to tip.

Cui Ling went out once and came back with her purse, "Girl, just now Suyun has rewarded them all, so please don't give them anything else, it will feed their appetite."

Xiangyun was taken aback, and murmured: "This is not good, I have already troubled my sister-in-law..."

Cuihui said: "I thought so too, so I asked a few questions. It's the same. When Miss Qin and the two girls from the Li family lived here, the grandma took care of them. Even Miss Lin stayed here. The same is true for staying for a few days. It is said that it will save the servants from causing more troubles because of this bastard picking jobs."

Xiang Yun thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "If that's the case, that's all."

When I was at Jiamu's place in the next afternoon, everyone knew it so well that they never mentioned it.On the contrary, Mrs. Wang met the people from Zhen's family this time and learned many things. She talked about how to seize the family property and how to escort her to Beijing.Mrs. Wang realized what she meant, so she stopped talking.Only in this way, some words that I wanted to ask Jia Mu's meaning could not be said, so I had to think about it for myself.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, Li Wan sent someone to the academy to ask Jia Lan, and they said that Jia Lan had been in the northern suburbs with Prince Cheng for the past two days, and he might not be able to come back until that day.After hearing this, Li Wan sighed with Xiangyun: "Look, he's just like a bean, and he's busy with his work. We should ask him."

Xiangyun laughed and said, "Shouldn't brothers and sisters be like this? If everyone is like the second elder brother, we won't be able to live in peace."

At that moment, the nanny came with Brother Xun and Sister Qiao in her arms. Li Wan took Brother Xun and held him in her arms for fun, then asked Sister Qiao: "How is your mother? We also said we wanted to see her." Go, I'm afraid she will be impatient."

Sister Qiao said: "It's just two days, after tossing and tossing for half the night, I couldn't hold on anymore. I changed two imperial doctors to prescribe medicine, but they didn't work very well. They only said that we should have a good life and don't work too hard. Yesterday The ancestors gave red rice porridge and came out, and it was better after eating a bowl."

Li Wan handed Brother Xun in his arms to Suyun to hold her, hugged Qiao'er himself, and comforted her: "Good boy, I must be worried. I just got some medicine here, you can take it later." Go back later, the prescriptions are all attached, if your mother can't understand, you can read it to her."

Sister Qiao thanked Li Wan. Li Wan took the book and began to teach her again.

Xiangyun listened from the side, looking up from time to time to see the scene in the Datong room.On the one hand, Suyun and brother Xun, the nanny, are holding all kinds of strange objects to amuse the children, and on the other, Li Wan is teaching his niece by the window. .Suddenly thought in my heart: "Weird Dao, I saw my second and fourth sisters and they liked coming here."

Xichun also wanted to go to Daoxiang Village this day, but seeing Yingchun came looking for her, she came in and smiled, "Second Sister invited me to Sister-in-law's place?"

Yingchun shook her head: "No, I need your help with something."

Xichun's eyes lit up: "Oh, how can I still have this ability? Tell me quickly."

Yingchun said, "Let's play chess first."

Xichun had no choice but to sit down and play chess.I don't know how much time has passed after sitting for a long time. After a long while, I saw Xiuju come in and make gestures. Yingchun put down the bag in his hand and said with a smile: "It's really not easy to say something quiet here. I wanted to say it better. It doesn't matter if we go to Changcui Nunnery, I'm afraid we will be tired of Miaoyu again."

Xichun also threw away the bag, and said with a smile: "So you just spent them all? That's right, seeing that it's a good time to be lazy, why don't you take the opportunity to go shopping?"

Yingchun cut to the chase and said: "You must have heard about what happened that day and night. Now that Siqi is under arrest, I'm going to see her. I can't find a way to go, so I came to look for you."

Xichun raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, Second Sister still wants to save that girl? Let me tell you, let's forget it. Although it is a new and scandalous thing to raid your own house, that girl is not wronged. And it's okay for you to keep such a person by your side." Inappropriate, to put it bluntly, she is self-inflicted, and she is so courageous. To put it bluntly, I am afraid that I have already tired you now, do you still have to plan for her?!"

Yingchun looked at Xichun for a while, and said with a smile: "You have grown up too. Let me tell you the truth. Do you remember that my sister-in-law told us before that the industries we invested in jokingly back then are now very solid. Only you I am not good at this kind of person, and the people from my sister-in-law have always taken care of it for us.

Now... I'm afraid I won't be here much longer.My sister-in-law told me twice that I need to find a reliable person to take care of it outside, so that it will be convenient... in the future.I originally wanted to ask my sister-in-law for help, but now you see, my sister-in-law is almost done with her own people.This time Siqi is definitely going out, and I won't be so stupid as to keep her by my side.She went out, which happened to fill in the blank. She has always been a shy person, and she is not afraid of anything outside.

Only one, this girl is a bit stubborn.When this matter got into such a mess, Sister Feng sent her mother-in-law to watch her that day because she was afraid that something would happen if she couldn't figure it out for a while.I can't let it go, I always want to talk to her about my plan.It's only because I don't want others to know about this matter inside and out, so I came to discuss with you. "

Xichun frowned and said: "I also heard that the old man is looking for someone for you... To be honest, you just trust the person they pick for you? How about we talk to Lan'er and let him check it out .”

Yingchun shook her head and said: "Lan'er can't interfere in this matter, even the ancestors can't say anything, why bother. Believe it or not, the parents' orders are there, even if there is a way to avoid this one, can't it be It must be good to change it? A woman will live forever, but that's all."

Xichun thought about it too, and sighed, but it was hard to say what was in his heart-this old man is really useless in the world, he might as well just go with our old man as a companion.

After thinking about this, he asked Yingchun again: "Then the second sister came to look for me..."

Yingchun smiled: "Why? You have a chance to show off your skills. I'm willing to try it myself. Why don't you hurry up and make gestures?"

Xichun's eyes lit up: "Do you believe me? Don't you think this is unreliable?"

Yingchun smiled and said, "It's fine for you to ask someone else, why are you asking me? Have you ever seen my silk trap?"

Xichun laughed loudly, jumped off the couch, ran into the back room, opened some kind of chest, and came out with a box in her arms.Xiuju removed the chessboard early, Xichun put the box on the table, quickly opened it, and pulled out another old book from the bottom layer.Opening it carefully, I saw a piece of yellow paper sandwiched in the book, with runes painted on it in cinnabar tones, and silver light flowing faintly.

Xichun carefully pinched it out with two fingers, put it in front of Yingchun and said: "That's it, it can be invisible, it won't last long."

Yingchun shook her head and said, "Just one? I have to meet and talk with her when I go there. What should I do when I come back?"

Xichun glared: "Why do you want to meet? You can just hide and talk to her, why do you have to see her?!"

Yingchun smiled wryly and said: "Speak up like that, don't scare her to death!"

Xichun scratched her face in distress for a long time before saying, "Well, it takes a set of formulas to activate this talisman, and I will be with you when the time comes. You stick this talisman in, and you can peel it off when you want to speak, and when you come out Paste it again. Only if the color on this talisman fades away, it will be useless, so you should look at it yourself."

Yingchun nodded, and asked again: "You don't know how to draw two more pictures?"

Xichun rolled her eyes: "You think you are painting cabbage?! I don't know how much work I have wasted just this paper and this ink! Thanks to Lan'er's help, I got all the things together. Do you think that one painting will be one piece? I I don’t know how many times I tried it before I got two. One was given to Lan’er for a trial, and the things I told you just now were all made by him. I only have this one left. If it wasn't you, I wouldn't give it!"

Yingchun suddenly nodded and said, "It's strange that you want to get Ruhua out, probably because it's inconvenient to keep people around."

Xichun sneered, turned her head to look at Xiuju, who was already in a daze, seeing Xichun looking at her, she quickly cupped her hands and said, "Don't worry, girl, I won't talk nonsense! Besides, even if I talk about it everywhere, No one believed it either. Maybe they thought I was crazy or out of my mind."

Xichun snorted and said, "I didn't do it for this. Do you remember when I said that my old man in the Taoist temple knew that I like talismans? I just don't like too many spies around me."

Yingchun was silent for a while, and then sighed: "It's wrong to be in the painting, so what can she do!"

Xichun glanced at Yingchun, and said coldly: "Do you think you are a god? Or a Buddha? Only gods and Buddhas have the qualifications to be able to understand all the sufferings of all living beings. I am just a layman. I just want to live a good life like myself. For the rest of my life, I don’t have the ability to control the life and death of others. If you don’t like it, just go yourself.”

Yingchun said: "When did you not care whether others were used to seeing it or not, and you finally touched the edge of the saying 'live your life well'?"

Xichun's heart suddenly moved after hearing this, and she remained silent.The two sat opposite each other for a while, and asked Xiuju to put it on the chessboard, and continued to talk.It didn't break up until dinner.

Since Ning Mansion could not observe the festival, Jia Zhen took the initiative to arrange meals and prepare for the fourteenth night, and her house was lively and lively.So early in the morning, I asked someone to talk to Youshi, and ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and I also stopped the gambling meeting in the name of archery practice in the mansion for a day.In the evening, when You Shi came back from the other end, the couple led a group of concubines to hold a banquet in Huifang Garden to enjoy the moon.

After dinner and wine, we talked about things in the mansion over there.You Shi first talked about entering the painting, and said: "I have nothing to answer, so I had to bring him back. I didn't go there for the past two days, so as not to spoil my quietness."

Jia Zhen thought for a while, then said: "Tomorrow, you can pick a smart governor from among the girls and bring her there. Don't pull it out at that time, it seems like we don't care about it. The old ancestor knew it would be great." Happy."

Youshi agreed, feeling uneasy, and said: "What can the ancestor know? There is so much movement at night, and you don't hear a single sound. If you ask me, it's getting worse and worse over there. Since Feng girl is not good, More and more no one took care of them, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. The girl from the Xue family found an excuse to move home the next day, and only the second girl, Xue, is still young and still lives with the old lady.”

Jia Zhen smiled and said: "If their family wants to climb up to Mei's house, can't they borrow the help of this mansion? Even if the matter is several times bigger, they won't go home. The one who moves out of the garden is also stupid. The whole family is living in this mansion, what good or bad is it really, just move out of the garden? It’s just to coax yourself to play.”

Pei Feng on the side said: "Yesterday I heard the girls say that the house over there doesn't give grandma any face, but I didn't understand what they were talking about."

Jia Zhen hurriedly asked You Shi: "What else is there? Why don't you tell me."

You Shi laughed and said: "Which mouth is too idle to chew maggots again?! What a disgrace! The ancestors ate there, and I was seated behind. Because the steamed green rice was gone, I served white rice. The ancestors got angry when they saw it. But after a few mouthfuls, they would eat people to death, so I have to talk about it at home."

Jia Zhen said: "Not enough food? What is this called?!"

You Shi said: "It is said that disasters have been reported everywhere in the past two years, and a few kinds of fine rice are especially rare. Now steamed rice can be sold with heads. Yesterday, because the third girl also used it at the ancestor's place, it is a few days away. .”

Jia Zhen said: "When did Zhuangzi not fight in the mansion? Only if we can stand still can we suppress them. They don't have a decent person to take care of them. Just let the people lie to them. What can we say."

After hearing this, Youshi inevitably talked about Baoyu again: "At the beginning, it was only said that there was a great fortune, but now I really can't see it."

When Jia Zhen heard the situation, she was also a little bit concerned. She couldn't bear to think about it, so she asked several concubines to sit down, put down the conversation, and everyone ordered to drink for fun.When the wine was half drunk, two good-natured flute players sang, enjoying the cool autumn night breeze.But at this moment, I suddenly heard a sigh from the bottom of the wall, and when I wanted to find it, I only heard a gust of wind blowing past the wall.There is no servant's house nearby, and the ancestral hall is across the wall.For a while, everyone woke up from the wine, and they lost the interest in drinking again, so they had to give up in a hurry and went back separately.
