Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 390 Li Wan's Heart Is Disturbed
Li Wan hasn't been to Feng's residence for a long time.

It's not that she doesn't want to have fun at her parents' knees, it's because too many things have happened in Rongfu recently.

After Yuan Chun became the Empress Dowager, the Rong Mansion looked very beautiful on the outside, but inside it was already stretched to the left and right, almost unable to support the scene.

Now because of Jia She and his son, they have been copied again, and the family is even more messy.

Fortunately, the 5 taels of new banknotes sent by Feng Yibo this time temporarily relieved Rongfu's urgent needs.

Li Wan managed to deal with it clearly, and he had to continue to deal with family affairs, and also take care of Jia Lan and the sisters-in-law, so he couldn't get away from it.

Today is also rare to find this opportunity, so I want to come out to breathe.

At this time, she was chatting with Li Mengshi, Aunt Li, mother and daughter.

While talking, Li Mengshi asked:
"I heard from your father that the Rong Mansion is not having a good time recently, how is your side?"

Li Shouzhong mentioned it to her, and she was always worried about it.

It's just that something happened in the Rong Mansion just now, and it's inconvenient for her to come to the door, so as not to look like a joke in the past.

Today my daughter is here, so I naturally have to ask.

"It's okay."

Hearing this, Li Wan hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Affected by the big house incident, the entire front yard of the Rong Mansion was confiscated. Fortunately, the Grand View Garden at the back is the Empress Dowager's family-saving villa. No one dared to move it. All the female relatives in the mansion moved there. Some important Everything was delivered in advance.”

Li Mengshi and Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Although the Rong Mansion was copied, it was the Empress Dowager's family, so she still saved face.

"Combined with Yibo's help, this time I didn't lose my title and decency, and my life is still passable. I came here today. Apart from visiting the elders, I will give away the opera troupe from the mansion. Thank you for Yibo's kindness. I will see you soon." I still have to go and see Yibo's wife, and convey the Rong Mansion's thanks in person."

After hearing what Li Wan said, Feng Yibo offered to help.

Li Mengshi's first reaction was to take care of his daughter for the sake of the old couple.

So Li Mengshi smiled proudly and said:
"It's right for the Yibo gang to take advantage of you. I'll thank him for you later."

As soon as Li Wan heard it, he knew that his mother had misunderstood, so he quickly shook his head and said:
"Don't! I'm representing the Rongfu this time. Besides, although Yibo is a family with us, this time I'm watching the Empress Dowager's help. If you want to thank Ke, it's a mistake. It will inevitably embarrass Yibo." .”

Feng Yibo was appointed by Yuan Chun to lend a helping hand, which was the consensus of Rong Mansion.

If my mother went over blindly to express her gratitude, it would be like asking someone to lend a helping hand again.

Li Mengshi was taken aback when he heard the words, and said doubtfully:
"The queen mother?"

Li Wan nodded and explained:
"I heard that this time, it was Yibo who strongly advocated ransacking these old relatives' homes and leaving their jobs. Anyone who participated in the Shandong case would be doomed. It is said that Yibo was in power to force the palace, and the queen mother could not get off. In the end, he had to compromise."

Hearing that it was Feng Yibo who advocated ransacking the house and forcing the Queen Mother, Li Mengshi was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly said:

"I never ask about their men's affairs. If it is true, there must be a reason for it. Don't be alienated by it."

She didn't know if it was true or not, or if there was any misunderstanding.

She was only worried that Feng Yibo and Rongfu would not deal with each other, which would affect the relationship between her daughter and this side.

Hearing this, Li Wan smiled wryly and said:
"Mother, don't worry, if you want to blame it, you can blame Dafang's lard heart for doing such an outrageous thing. Although my daughter is in Rongfu, she also knows that this matter affects the wealth of tens of millions of people in Shandong. Life, Yibo is pleading for the life of the people this time, and he did nothing wrong."

The Li family's style has always been upright, and they can tell right from wrong.

Whether it is Li Wan or Li Mengshi, the three views are also normal.

As soon as Li Mengshi heard it, he knew that Feng Yibo was not to blame, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said:
"You can understand."

After asking Li Wan, she looked at her grandson Jia Lan again, and said worriedly:
"How is Lan'er recently, is it not affected?"

Jia Lan is the grandson of the second wife of the Rong Mansion, and the Rong Mansion is both prosperous and both prosperous, and both are harmed.

If the Rong Mansion is in trouble, the grandson will naturally be affected as well.

"This time, the one who ransacked the house and resigned from Dafang's side. My father-in-law's title is still there, so it doesn't have much impact."

Li Wan shook his head first, then hesitated and said:

"It's just that after the ransacking of the house, there are a lot of new purchases in the mansion. I was ordered to be the housekeeper, and I have been too busy to take care of eating these days. These are all good, but there are too many things in the mansion, and some can't take care of Lan'er. Fortunately, Lan'er doesn't worry too much, but she is afraid that no one will take care of him, and his homework will be left behind."

This is the benefit of having parents around.

If it was before, no matter what happened, she would bear it silently, and there was no place to confide in it.

But now, although she works hard in the Rong Mansion, her parents are by her side and can come over anytime.

This allows not only to rely on, but also a place to confide in.

Therefore, she is no longer the same as before, only surrounding Jia Lan all day long.

Today, she is no longer as dry as a tree.

Instead, he knew how to complain of suffering and tiredness, and dared to express his feelings.

Although Li Wan's words were a little sad inside and out, it was much more vivid than before.

"If your husband's family agrees, you can send Lan Er to live here for a while!"

After hearing this, Li Mengshi took her hand distressedly, and said:
"It's okay for us two elders to take care of you. Your father loves Lan'er very much. You don't have to worry about homework with him. Besides, your aunt and your two younger sisters are here to take care of you. "

Hearing this, Li Wan felt a little moved.

Except for her father-in-law who still pays attention to reading, the Jia family has no learning environment at all.

Mother Meng did not hesitate to move her home three times for Mencius to study. How could she, as a mother, not want to give her child a good study environment?

But considering the relationship between Rong Mansion and here, she inevitably hesitated, and said:

"Yibo's daughter-in-law is pregnant, so it's not good for Lan'er to disturb her here."

Although, today she is expressing her gratitude on behalf of Rongfu.

But Li Wan knew how much Jia's mother hated Feng Yibo now.

If it weren't for Feng Yibo's repeated gifts, Rongfu would not want to owe too much favor.

She didn't dare to bring up the matter of coming to Feng's residence recently, for fear that Mother Jia would be dissatisfied with her.

Li Mengshi didn't know the specific reason, but thought she was really worried about Baochai, so she said:
"Yibo's daughter-in-law has already settled down in the morning and evening. She rests in the main courtyard on weekdays and is rarely discharged from the hospital. Besides, Lan'er is so well-behaved. Why don't you worry about it?"

"This……"

Li Wan kept silent about Rong Mansion's dissatisfaction with Feng Yibo.

She was afraid that after her mother found out, she would not let her walk around here more, so as not to get angry there.

At this time, Aunt Li, who had been silent all this time, interrupted suddenly:
"Gong Cai, you should really listen to your mother about this matter. When I was walking in the capital, I heard about the reputation of Rongning and Ningfu. Your Rongfu is not bad, and it is also a decent family. But the Ningfu..."

Having said that, she didn't continue.

But the implication has been revealed.

Ning Mansion's reputation in the capital is really well-known.

Especially in the dude circle, it is really famous.

Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling are all good, and no one in the whole house is clean.

Aunt Li couldn't speak too clearly, so she paused, then continued:

"It's okay if you take care of her on weekdays, but if you can't take care of her and get led astray, how much?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wan knew their worries, so he decided to explain a few words.

"Actually, the elder Rongfu..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she heard the servant girl shouting outside:

"Master and Madam are here!"

After disposing of the troupe, Feng Yibo brought Baochai to Li Shouzhong's courtyard.

Li Wan came to give presents, so the husband and wife would naturally show up.

It happened that Baochai was in good condition today, so he came with her.

After entering the door, both parties greeted each other.

"It's okay, it's okay, slow down, and quickly support the kang."

Baochai was inconvenient, so Li Mengshi hastily excused her from the ceremony and asked her maid to help her sit up.

When Baochai sat down, Li Mengshi smiled and said to Jia Lan:

"Lan'er, do you see if Auntie's belly is a younger brother or a younger sister?"

According to legend, children's eyes are not eroded by dirt, and it is also said that the eyes of the sky have not yet closed.

All in all, it's said that children can see things that adults can't.

Therefore, in ancient times, some people would let children talk about the superstition of whether they are male or female in their stomachs.

Even after liberation, many people still believed in this.

It is said that in some places, in order to get boys, as long as the children say that they are pregnant with girls, they will kill them.

This is feudalism and superstition, the dross of dross.

Of course, Li Mengshi just thought of this and asked casually.

Whether it's a man or a woman, they are all babies of the Feng family who are not prosperous.

Jia Lan glanced at Baochai's belly, then at Li Wan, and said hesitantly:
"Is... brother?"

When Baochai heard this, he immediately smiled.

Li Mengshi went over and touched Jia Lan's little head, and said with satisfaction:
"Good boy!"

Everyone in the room smiled kindly, only Feng Yibo said doubtfully:

"Lan'er, why do you think it's my younger brother?"

Jia Lan thought for a while, then explained:

"I heard from my mother that my aunt wishes to give birth to a younger brother so that the Feng family can continue the incense. I hope my aunt will get what she wants, so I also hope it will be a boy."

Everyone was taken aback, only Feng Yibo nodded suddenly, and said:

"Lan'er is good, I know you are sensible, but you don't need to understand the world at your age."

Hearing this, Jia Lan frowned slightly, and said in doubt:
"However, a gentleman never deceives his heart. I sincerely hope that my aunt and uncle will be happy as they wish."

Everyone was stunned.

But this time it was finally Feng Yibo's turn to be startled, but then he had no choice but to nod and said:
"Lan'er is right. I think it's too complicated. It's best if you can do it according to your heart."

After being in the court for a long time, facing the child's innocence, he actually regarded it as a worldly thing.

Thinking that he was wary of a child just now, Feng Yibo couldn't help laughing.

After thinking about it, he squatted down again, patted Jia Lan on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"However, to my uncle, both boys and girls are my children, and your aunt and I will love and love them equally, so you don't have to care about whether it is a younger brother or a younger sister, because they are all your relatives, right?"

This was not only said to Jia Lan, but also to Baochai.

Even Jia Lan knew that she wanted to have a boy, which shows how much pressure Baochai is facing.

But there are boys and girls in the stomach, just like a blind box.

It sounds like a [-]-[-] chance, but in fact it is [-]% the moment you conceive.

Seeing that Jia Lan nodded half-understanding, Feng Yibo rubbed his little head in satisfaction.

Baochai naturally understood what he meant, looked at Feng Yibo with a happy face, and could no longer tolerate others in his eyes.

It wasn't until Feng Yibo got up that she came back to her senses!

Seeing Li Wan looking at her with a smile on her face, Baochai blushed slightly, and said calmly:

"Speaking of which, I haven't thanked the theater troupe yet. I'm inconvenient, so I can't come to the door to thank you. I can only trouble my sister-in-law to pass it on."

"Where are these words?"

Li Wan covered his mouth and chuckled, and said:
"I'm representing the Rongfu today, and I came here to express my gratitude for Yibo's help. This troupe was bought from Jiangnan when the Queen Mother was visiting relatives. The Queen Mother praised them all, but Rongfu is not in the mood to listen to the opera now. , I will give you all the excitement, and I also thank Yibo for his helping hand."

Feng Yibo heard the words, and said:

"Senior Sister, convey my thanks on my behalf, this troupe is good, we like it very much."

Seeing the end of the greetings between the two sides, Li Mengshi couldn't wait to say:

"Yibo, we were talking just now that the Rong Mansion has a lot of things going on recently, and your senior sister is also the housekeeper, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of her. If the Rong Mansion is willing, I want to take Lan'er over to live for a while..."

Having said that, Li Wan hastily shouted:
"Mother!"

Li Mengshi glanced at her and hesitated for a while, but continued subconsciously:
"What do you think about this..."

Feng Yibo didn't know what kind of riddle the two were playing, but he understood Li Mengshi's words.

After what happened to Jia Lan just now, he didn't want to over-analyze.

Therefore, he only felt that Li Wan was a little out of touch, so he didn't let Li Mengshi speak.

At that moment, he waved his hand and said cheerfully:

"Don't say that Lan'er comes to live for a while, even if the senior sister comes here together, it's fine to live for a lifetime!"

Everyone was startled when they heard the words.

Baochai was a little baffled, and looked at Feng Yibo in bewilderment.

This master shouldn't be that kind of person?
Could it be... No, no!
She must be pregnant, and her suspicions have grown!

Li Mengshi was also confused.

However, this apprentice has always been filial, it should be because he regards his daughter as his own sister.

Ok!definitely is!

The rest of the people also had different expressions.

At this moment, Li Wan's heartbeat almost stopped.

how many years?

I haven't heard such a love story for many years.

No, she seemed to have never heard such a promise.

She couldn't even think of Jia Zhu, let alone what love words she had with her.

At this moment, Li Wan was even a little dizzy.

This is not being carried away by love words, but by fear.

Junior brother said such a thing, how can I see him in the future?

It's fine for both of you to live for the rest of your life. What's the difference from "I'll support you"?
Feng Yibo has actually realized that his words are somewhat ambiguous, and it is easy for people to think in a wrong way.

But he can't panic at this time, otherwise nothing will happen.

He smiled helplessly before adding:

"What I mean is that this yard is for my mentor and his wife to take care of the elderly, and the place where the two elders live is my senior sister's mother's house!"
