By Jia Xiuzhen

The butler sent the letter in. On that day, a few official kiln fine porcelain cups were smashed in the Wutong courtyard. They were all the favorite objects of the second master who used to be a butcher for officials.

When Sister Feng was taken to the Wang family's mansion in Beijing, she had passed out. Wang Li's wife came to help Zhang Luo, and her face turned pale with fright when she saw the blood on the mattress.When we got back, we said to Wang Li: "We are going to go to work in a few days. Who will take care of my sister here? Auntie can't even take care of her when she is in front of her, let alone now. The Xue family can't take care of themselves. We Let's go, can't let the girl wait here to die?!"

Wang Li felt reasonable when he heard it, and said, "What's your idea?"

Wang Li's wife thought about it: "I think it's better to go back to Jinling while it's not too cold or hot. Although my uncle and aunt are gone, after all, all the people in the clan are here. It's better than being alone here."

Wang Li didn't have any ideas at all, so he made sense after hearing this. He didn't know exactly what kind of illness Sister Feng was suffering from, and he just wanted to take care of Sister Feng's end before he set off.

When Sister Feng woke up that day, she saw Feng'er weeping beside her, and asked angrily, "What's the matter? Are you still reluctant to go there?"

Feng'er wiped away her tears and said, "Girl, uncle is going to drive us away."

Sister Feng was stunned for a while when she heard what Feng Er said, and then sighed: "I didn't believe in retribution from the underworld, but now I'm a little bit suspicious. Cough, cough, it's done, don't cry. Tomorrow you Take the time to go out, and give our things to Meiren, and let her take it to the second girl. After this is over, it's fine to go back."

Feng'er couldn't stop crying: "Miss, how can this body withstand the bumps now? What if..."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Even if you don't leave now, you will die in a few days, and you will still be sent back to the south. This tone is not bad now. I am already like this, and you still don't see it? Just remember What I confessed will save me."

With tears all over her face, Feng'er clenched her fist and said, "I remember it all, don't worry, girl!"

Sister Feng was very tired after saying these words. After drinking water and taking a pill, she fell asleep again.Feng'er sat alone on the side, looking at Sister Feng with only a handful of bones left on the bed, listening to the wind outside the window, and thinking of the lively scene in the small courtyard before, her heart became more and more desolate.

In addition, sister Qiao moved into Daoxiang Village and didn't go out when she had nothing to do. She was bored all day long, often staring blankly and weeping.

Li Wan doesn't have any useful people around her now, and she doesn't need to be taken care of in her daily routine. Everyone only says that she has been a widow for a long time and has a weird temper, but they make fun of her.It's just that now that she has a Qiao sister, she has suffered from the lack of manpower.In the past, if Nanny Chang or Suyun Biyue were around, they would have conjured up many ways to coax her, let alone the trivial matter of asking for soup or water.

Now, not only do you not have such a pleasant lunch, but you also have to spend some time and energy to admonish him, so as to avoid talking about right and wrong.In addition, when Mrs. Xing was in charge of the house, her thoughts changed every day, and the errands of her servants also changed frequently. It was very easy to set up a few rules, and a new group of people came tomorrow and later, and Li Wan simply stopped. Got that thought.I just usually try my best to bring sister Qiao with me and talk with her.

One day when I was talking with Sister Qiao, a daughter-in-law from Mrs. Xing came. Li Wan thought about it for a while, and the daughter-in-law smiled and said: "The slave is here to congratulate the girl."

Sister Qiao frowned and said nothing, without even looking at the daughter-in-law, Li Wan smoothed things over and said, "I don't know where the joy comes from?"

Then the daughter-in-law laughed and said: "It is the master who has arranged a marriage for the second master! Seeing that the girl is growing up, it is shameful not to have a mother to teach her. This time the master has arranged for the second master a well-known marriage in Beijing." Girl, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all exquisite, and once you pass by tomorrow, the girl can also learn from her, isn't it a great thing?!"

Sister Qiao's face became more and more gloomy. Li Wan never thought that Jia would pardon Jia Lian so quickly, so he could only follow along and ask, "Oh? I don't know which girl it is, have we heard of it?"

The daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Grandma appointed to hear it. His family sent a woman here before, and she has face in front of the old lady and the second master Bao. It is Fu Shi and Fu Tongpan's family. The girl in his family , the name is Fu Qiufang, many people have begged for it, but they have not responded. This time when he came to the mansion, the master mentioned a word, and he agreed. It is also a fate made in heaven."

Li Wan heard that it was Fu Qiufang, who was often rumored to be both talented and beautiful, but the Fu family was picky and never allowed him to, and now he is really old.He nodded and said, "It turned out to be her."

Seeing that Li Wan and sister Qiao were not very friendly, the daughter-in-law talked about it for a while, but she also felt bored, so she went back to report to her.

Waiting for people to walk away, Qiao Jie stood up, shaking with tremors, her chest heaved and shed tears like rain.Li Wan glanced over and saw that all the girls in the room were stretching their necks to look at them in surprise, so he frowned and said, "Everyone go down, it's making a fuss."

After driving everyone out, Li Wan supported Sister Qiao, let her sit down again, and sighed: "Cry if you want to cry, hate if you want to hate, and don't need to bear it."

Sister Qiao lay in Li Wan's arms, trembling non-stop, the clothes on Li Wan's shoulders were soaked in a short while, and there was no sound of crying.Li Wan patted her on the back slowly, but didn't try to comfort her, and just let her cry.

At this time, Ping'er came in from the outside. Seeing this, his eyes were red and he said: "Sister, don't cry. It's not that the time is not up, God is watching!" After speaking, he couldn't hold back and cried.Sister Qiao let out a whimper, and rushed over to Ping'er, hugging each other and weeping.

Li Wan sat aside and looked at them, without saying anything to persuade them.Jia Lian's quarrel with Sister Feng did not happen overnight.Now looking back and thinking about it, from Bao Er's family, Duo girl to You Erjie and Qiu Tong, from one who took a sword to kill someone to the other who made someone submit a complaint, there are traces to be followed step by step.It's just so so so if you understand it, people's hearts are hard to guess, even if you talk about ten thousand truths, you can't control the jealousy and joy in your heart.

Ping'er cried and cursed intermittently, and by the end of the night, both of their eyes were swollen like peaches.

Li Wan took out a bone-embedded silver box, handed it to Ping'er, and said, "It contains ointment, just apply a little bit on the eyelids to reduce swelling."

Ping'er hurriedly accepted the thank you, and then helped sister Qiao to wash her face and comb her hair again before tidying up herself.

It was easy to slow down, and within a few days, a letter from the Wang family came, but Sister Feng had already returned to Jinling by boat.In the mansion, Sister Qiao was thinking of a way to go out and see Sister Feng again. When she heard that her mother-in-law had gone south, she immediately passed out crying again.But in the past half month, the little girl has been worn out to the point of exhaustion and haggard.Even Li Wan thought of a way to use bitter tea spring to cook powder pearl porridge, but there was no improvement.The heart sighs that the power of this world thought is really powerful, it is both the master of the mind and the master of the body.No wonder it is said that gods are hard to cure heart disease!

Jia Lian married again, not to mention how Ping'er and sister Qiao hated him for being cold and heartless, and second sister You was also dumbfounded when she heard this.She had thought that she had raised a son by herself, and she had worshiped heaven and earth and burned paper horse incense candles that day, which was different from an ordinary concubine's room.As soon as Sister Feng left, it was the right time to straighten her up.Who would have thought that Jia Amnesty would arrange another marriage for Jia Lian after turning around, and she is also a talented and beautiful woman well-known in the capital, so how would she deal with herself in the future?The dream of being the housewife's grandma that had been going on for so many days was shattered with such a bang.

Moreover, Baoyu was not very happy all day when preparing for the marriage at the other end, but Jia Lian at the other end was full of joy every day when he got the letter.In the past, when she was wronged by Sister Feng, she could act coquettishly and foolishly in front of Jia Lian, but now that she was wronged, who should she talk to?On the other hand, the group of people below who were fawning over her frantically, immediately changed their expressions when they heard the words that they wanted to marry the second mistress, and it took only a few days to go from a bustling market to a deserted one.

Fu Shi has hidden his younger sister for many years, but he never thought that he would really wait for the day when he would marry into the Duke's mansion.He used to respect Jia Zheng the most, but now that Jia She has taken over the family and wants to get married, he puts Jia Zheng down and only changes ways to make Jia She happy.Jia Amnesty was impatient with vulgar matters, and seeing that Fu Shi was still on the right track, he followed his idea and pressed hard, and finally set the date of marriage only half a month after Baoyu's marriage, and he was so busy that he ruined the people below.

What Mrs. Xing was happy about was another matter. There was an example of Baoyu getting married as an official. Now that Jia Lian is also married, naturally she has to take a share from the official.But this Jia Lian became a second relative, and he counted inside and out, didn't he make money on his own?But Jia She was in a hurry, and she felt that Fu Qiufang was just an old girl who couldn't get married, and the Fu family was not considered a high family, so she looked down on her even more.Therefore, every time Jia She urged her, she would cut down all the rules and regulations. Jia She didn't realize that she responded like this.Mrs. Xing was even happier when she saw that Jia Amnesty had been coaxed and saved money.

The Jia family spread wedding invitations everywhere, and Lin Ruhai naturally received them too.Since returning from the south, the technician's mansion and the Sixth Department of Internal Affairs have been busy with several affairs, and he can't spare his energy to take care of other people's homes.In particular, the emperor showed his desire to agree to Xun Yu's proposal to marry Daiyu several times, which made Lin Ruhai even more anxious.He had no other choice but insisted that his girl wanted to find a son-in-law, and wanted to silence the emperor, so as to save the time when he really ordered a marriage and wronged his girl.

Now that I received a post from Jia's family, I was surprised to see that Jia Lian was married.I called the housekeeper to ask, and then I found out about Jia Lian's divorce.The housekeeper said: "Before, someone in the Metropolitan Procuratorate sued that someone in the back house of the mansion put usury money, demanded money, and forced him to death. Later, the case was closed, and a housekeeper inside was sent out to take the blame. Only a few days later , it was reported that the daughter of the Wang family was divorced, and I think the mastermind of the usury should be this grandma."

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "What a mess! My eldest brother-in-law is really not the material to be in charge of the family, but it's a pity that the old lady left in a hurry."

Thinking about the fact that it was the Yue family, there was no reason to just sit back and watch his ugliness. He thought that when he went to the wedding banquet, Xun Kong would have a good talk with Jia Zheng, and once he persuaded him, it would be a relative.

Seeing that Baoyu's marriage is coming soon, Lin Ruhai is looking for someone to ask a few questions about Jia's family, so that he can talk to Jia Zheng in detail when he leaves tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Who would have thought that he was worried about other people, and suddenly the inner minister came to announce the decree, saying that the king of Nanzhao wanted to marry the Lin family many times, but the sage refused several times because he knew that the Lin family had intended to marry him; After knowing the reason, this time he submitted a letter of state requesting to join the Lin family as the lord of the country. The emperor thought it was true, and specially approved it.

Lin Ruhai received the order, but still hasn't recovered.Why did someone ask to marry my daughter of the Lin family, instead of asking me, they asked the emperor instead?The emperor dared to agree!Who should I turn to for reasoning? !

The eunuch Yang who came to proclaim the decree was also acquainted with Lin Ruhai. After finishing the errand, he pulled Lin Ruhai and said in a low voice: "Master Lin doesn't know, but the Nanzhao King is really difficult to deal with. For this matter, I asked to see the Holy Majesty again and again. The Holy Majesty naturally knows about Master Lin. Meaning, I also thought of many ways to embarrass him, I just hope that he will retreat in spite of the difficulties. Who would have thought that the Nanzhao King Bai has such a superficial appearance, and he is actually a stunned young man, who dares to agree to any conditions, as long as the emperor ordered him to give up? Marriage. Tsk tsk, look, there is really no other way. What the Holy Majesty meant, since it is said to be married, when the time comes, Mr. Lin sees him as unsightly, and then he will just send it away. This is the only way to go."

The veins on Lin Ruhai's forehead were throbbing, you couldn't bear it, so you threw him here?You are the emperor, you can't do too much to the monarch of the foreign country, I am a little servant, and the family is married to the head of another country, can I let me go? !

Seeing that Lin Ruhai was silent, Eunuch Yang said again: "It's not that we are talking nonsense, the Nanzhao monarch is really difficult to deal with! The emperor was willing to send the princess and the eldest princess to marry him, so he just sent him away. He was stunned. Don't let go. Your Majesty can't do anything about it, Master Lin must be considerate."

Lin Ruhai quickly woke up when he heard this, and said with a dry smile: "The inner minister's words are serious, and it is the duty of the courtiers to share the worries for the king. The inner minister said this, but it is a shame for the old minister."

After sending Eunuch Yang away, Lin Ruhai hurriedly asked someone to go to the back house to tell the young lady, just telling her not to worry, and I will go over and talk about it later.I hurried to get someone to go to the academy quickly, but I wanted to find Mo Yansong to come over to discuss.
