Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 319 Resolved (please vote for a -word chapter)

In the side hall, the maid served fragrant tea, while Jia Lian and Hu Yanfang sat opposite each other.

Jia Lian said: "Earlier, Eunuch Dai came to the mansion to announce his decree, but he didn't want Sister Lin to be away, so he had to go to your mansion to announce the decree again. The old lady was thinking about Sister Lin not knowing how to answer the right answer, so she asked me to take care of her. If you don't want to, hurry up. He who rushes slowly is still one step late.”

Hu Yanfang nodded and said, "General Jia, don't worry. Miss Lin has become my sister since she is a godson to my family. Even if I am not the second brother, I still have my mother to look after me."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Hu was joking. I didn't mean it. It was just a matter of urgency."

Hu Yanfang nodded, picked up the tea cup and drank tea. He was a bookworm by nature, and his father was a high-ranking figure in the court, so he hated to see a playboy like Jia Lian.

Jia Lian pondered and added: "It happened in a hurry, and everything is in chaos in the mansion right now. I just came out and looked at the old lady's thoughts. She was thinking about asking Sister Lin to go back. I will send her to your mansion after I have a clear answer."

Hu Yanfang raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't understand what the general said. Why is it that the saint's decree on marriage is not clear?"

"This -" How can Jia Lian speak easily about this matter? It can't be said that today's disaster happened because Yangzhou ran an errand that day, right?
Just at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of wearing a ring. Jia Lian raised his eyes and saw Zhang Yiren and the female officer guard Jian Yu entering the room together.

Jia Lian hurriedly stood up to greet him, and when he sat down again, Wei Jianyu said: "The girl also suddenly got the decree, and I guess the old lady must be confused. It's better for the girl to go back and tell the old lady, I After following the girl for such a long time, she probably knows a thing or two about everything. How about I follow the general back to the house and have a talk with the old lady? "

Tanchun glanced around and saw that the temple was quite clean, and all the curtains had been replaced with new ones. It was just the snacks and fruits offered on the table. Even the refreshments for the guests looked like they were from a few days ago.

Tan Chun nodded and said: "Did Hong Yu send it? It must be the order from Fourth Brother Jian. Fourth Brother Jian is thinking of his second sister."

Yingchun said hurriedly: "That's not the case... Now that I have moved to the Jade Emperor Temple, I only need to embroider oranges with me. I don't need as many as I usually do, so I am naturally a lot more frugal."

Looking up, he saw that the second girl had been reading the chapter on Taishang's induction. Tan Chun then said: "Fourth brother Jian is so capable, and I don't look like he has abandoned his second sister. There is no way he will have a future wife." Where is the hand?"

Xiuju came over with a stack of tea cakes, hesitated for a long time, and finally put the tea cakes on the table.

Tanchun opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. I just secretly thought to myself, could it be that the second sister and the fourth brother Jian met early in the morning... This second sister looks submissive and cautious, but she doesn't want to be so open-minded in private!

Yingchun was so ashamed that his face was covered with a red cloth. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Jiang...Jiang the magic pestle. Fourth sister, put it down quickly!"

The old lady smiled and said, "Hey, the third and fourth girls are here too. The old lady is here to deliver bird's nests to the second girl."

No one in the house knew that the fault was that the eldest man and his wife were trying to save the fourth brother's money. I'm afraid this marriage had already happened. It was also because of this that Li Jijiu strongly opposed this matter.

Tan Chun frowned and said: "No matter how frugal you are, I will give you enough for my second sister. You can't take advantage of those big rats."

............................................................

Xiuju hurriedly sent the woman out and said with a sneer, "Back to Third Miss, this official swallow... was also sent by Hongyu last time."

Xichun let out a sigh, rubbed her forehead and said aggrievedly, "I didn't say anything wrong."

Grand View Garden, Jade Emperor Temple.

Tan Chun was so angry that he gritted his teeth and poked Xichun with his finger: "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak. Where can you find such comforting people?"

Tanchun was very knowledgeable, and he could tell at just one glance that the official swallow was of the best quality, so he became more and more puzzled and said: "This official swallow is only made by the old lady and my wife. Where did the second sister get it?" Come?"

At this time, the servant led the little maid back and put all kinds of refreshments on the table. Tanchun picked up a piece of carrot cake and said: "The servants in the garden are too simple. The second sister only practices at home. She is from the Rong Mansion after all." girl……"

At this time, Yingchun has calmed down, and he is still enjoying his food, but he also knows that he is not as good as Daiyu and Xiangyun in terms of status.

Tanchun frowned slightly, and told several maids: "Go and get some refreshments. The fourth sister and I want to talk more with the second sister."

Unfortunately, it was too late, and Xichun pulled out a black Mr. Jiao, flickering back and forth, and asked in wonder: "Second sister, what is this?"

Xichun shook it again and asked curiously: "Isn't the Demonic Pestle a Buddhist weapon? Why does Taoism also have it?"

Yingchun murmured for a long time before saying: "The red jade passed through the house a few days ago, and I sent some along the way."

Yingchun looked at Tanchun with her head sullenly, and saw the three girls looking at him with great astonishment.

"This..." Yingchun didn't know how to answer, so she kept asking Xiuju for help.

Tanchun glanced at it and was immediately surprised. Inside was a pile of torreya with a rich milky aroma.

Yingchun instinctively whispered: "Don't say it... don't say it..."

Tanchun blinked, not knowing what to say. This Jade Emperor Temple looks shabby, but in fact it is a must-have. The second sister is probably even better than me!
Yes, the Jade Emperor Temple is adjacent to the east corner gate. Hongyu, Xiangling, Xiuying, and Qingwen would come here from time to time, and they would bring the items over without anyone noticing.

One is the orphan girl of Lin Yansi, and the other is the daughter of the Hou Mansion. How can she, a girl from the Rong Mansion, be as noble as these two?
And when it comes to marrying a virtuous wife, I think that Yingchun is not as good as Daiyu and Xiangyun, because although it is sour and tasteless, there is nothing I am dissatisfied with. There is only some self-pity and self-pity. If I was born into a good family, if my temper were not so weak, why would the marriage between the two of them have been delayed until now?
Moreover, Brother Jian would always come to see her every now and then. She still abided by the rules during the winter months, but in the twelfth lunar month, she was back to her old ways. She felt ashamed and happy when welcoming the spring... She even wanted to refuse the invitation. Seeing Brother Jian being so greedy for her body, she knew he would not. Abandoned her.

Tanchun let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the second sister had passed her taste. Just as he was about to get up to visit Mrs. Wang, he heard a greeting from the woman outside, and then came in carrying a food box.

As for whether they will be together or sidelined in the future, the second girl no longer cares at this moment. With such an enemy, I just hope that I can enter his house smoothly in the future.

Since the second girl was born, she has never had a good son from these two, but has been dragged down her whole life.

Jia Lian thought for a moment and then agreed, thinking that an explanation would be better than no explanation at all. After finishing half a cup of tea, he stood up and said goodbye to Zhang Yiren and left.

Tanchun knew it well, but how could he tell the truth now? He just said: "As the saying goes, good things come in hard times, and the second sister has not yet given up her service. After two or three years, things will definitely turn around."

Tanchun suddenly felt bitter in her heart. It was pity that she was still thinking about her second sister's bad life, but it turned out that her life was better than anyone else's!
Even Na Xichun was envious and said, "It's really enviable that fourth brother Jian treats his second sister with such care. Second sister must have hidden a lot of good things here. Let me take a look."

As he was talking, he got up and went to look through the book shelf. Yingchun just looked at it at first, but when he saw Xichun launching a brocade box, he suddenly became nervous: "Fourth sister——"

Yingchun blushed and just nodded.

After hearing what Tanchun said, Yingchun finally agreed.

This product is only produced in the south of the Yangtze River, and the output is limited. Although Rongfu can get some every year, it is good if each girl can get one or half a catty. Tanchun was in charge of the house, so he knew that all the torreya trees had been eaten on New Year's Eve, but where did the torreya trees in front of him come from?
While she was full of doubts, Xichun beside her exclaimed and reached out to grab a handful: "Trreya, where did the second sister come from?"

At this time, Xichun came over and saw that the second sister Yingchun was just reading the chapter on Taishang's Inspiration with her head hanging down, so she tried to comfort her: "Second sister, please be open-minded in everything. You and fourth brother Jian can't get along, and you have nothing to do with sister Lin." big."

The waiter agreed and ordered the two little maids to go out to get tea. The embroidered orange on the side ordered fragrant tea, but it was just ordinary melon slices.

The food box was opened, and inside was a bowl of brown sugar, red dates, yam, and bird's nest porridge that replenished qi and blood.

That's all, things like this can't be spread. Fortunately, the maid, mother-in-law, etc. are all waiting outside in the alchemy room at the moment, and I only have two people who are embroidering oranges and serving books, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain.

Tanchun didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that Xichun would find something to scare people again, so he quickly got up and pulled Xichun away and said, "Since the second sister is fine, let's go see my wife first."

Yingchun didn't dare to see anyone, so she covered her face with her hands and answered randomly. Xiuju also sent Tanchun and Xichun away in embarrassment.

When Xiuju turned around, she looked at the second girl Yingchun speechlessly. Yingchun said with a sad face, "How will I behave from now on?"

Xiuju sighed and rolled her eyes, thinking that Siqi had left it behind, but the second girl kept it and used it for herself at night. Now that you have done everything you have planned, why are you so embarrassed now?
However, when Tanchun and Xichun came out of the Yuhuang Temple, they saw the Cuicui Temple in front of them. Suddenly, the two girls heard the faint sound of the flute. They stopped and raised their eyes and glanced over. They saw a man standing in the pavilion next to the meditation hall. Miaoyu in a hundred-year-old dress stood playing the flute, while Baoyu on the side held her chin in her hands and was lost in thought.

Seeing this, Xichun couldn't help but frown and said: "The house was already in chaos, but Brother Bao came to cause trouble again. Now it's so chaotic, but he's here to listen to Xiao like a normal person."

Tanchun shook his head, not knowing what to say. He pulled Xichun and said, "We can't control what he wants. We'd better go see my wife as soon as possible."

No matter how bad Baoyu was, he always helped Tanchun. Tanchun remembered his kindness, because it was hard to say bad things about Baoyu.

At that moment, the two little girls walked along the corridor and passed Qinfang Pavilion. After a while, they came out of Jujin Gate, walked around the meeting hall, and entered Mrs. Wang's Courtyard through the east corner gate.

Aunt Xue, Baochai, Sister Feng, and even Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou were all here at this moment. The imperial doctor had just diagnosed and treated Mrs. Wang. He only said that she was suffering from shortness of breath attacking her heart and stagnation of Qi in her liver, which would be cured after a while.

The charming maid came in a hurry and bowed down when she entered. Mrs. Wang pushed aside the maid in front of her and asked hurriedly: "Where is Baoyu? How is my Baoyu?"

Meiren said: "Back to my wife, Mr. Bao was planning to jump into the lake, but the lake was frozen. Mr. Bao went crazy for a while and bumped into Miaoyu from the Cuicui Temple, so he followed Miaoyu there. ”

Mrs. Wang was relieved when she heard that Baoyu was fine. Aunt Zhao on the side secretly curled her lips, and couldn't help but said in a strange way: "Madam, I have to better discipline my brother from now on. It's a pity that he went crazy at home. If he went crazy in front of the angel, I'm afraid our family will be in trouble." .

This Baoyu himself had made a big fuss, but he didn't want his wife to get angry because of him. What's this? Unfilial. "

In previous years, I'm afraid Wang Xifeng would have scolded her. It's just that today, Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang have had a long time apart. At this moment, I just feel extremely happy. How can I blame Aunt Zhao?

Mrs. Wang was so choked by Aunt Zhao that she felt dizzy for a while. At this time, she lost all her dignity. She couldn't help but yelled: "You bitch, get out of here!"

"Madam, I never said -"

"Get out!" Mrs. Wang shouted like crazy: "Get out of here!"

The ladies-in-law who accompanied him immediately came forward and slapped him randomly with their hands. Aunt Zhao was in pain and she screamed "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally." The rules don’t apply here... Hey, if you fight again, I’ll ask Tanchun to fight back too!”

How can these two women be willing to listen? They only slapped each other on one side and pushed on the other side. Aunt Zhao was busy trying to parry, but when she came out of the door, she accidentally lost her footing and fell straight down the steps.

The two women were about to fight again, but suddenly they heard shouting from a distance: "Stop!"

When I raised my eyes, I saw Tanchun and Xichun approaching quickly and menacingly.

Aunt Zhao covered her swollen face and turned her head to observe. When she saw that Tanchun was coming, she immediately gained the backbone and cried mournfully: "My dear daughter, please make the decision for me!"

Tanchun motioned to the attendants and Cuimo to help Aunt Zhao, glanced at Zhou Rui's family and Zhang Ruojin's family, suppressed his anger and asked, "How dare you hit Aunt Zhao?"

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly knelt down and said, "Reply to the third girl, it was not the slave who wanted to be beaten. It was the aunt who offended the madam just now, and the madam ordered the servant to beat her."

I heard Aunt Zhao yelling at the top of her lungs: "My wife's beating was wrong. I was just telling the truth. How did it become the fault?"

Tanchun was smart, and when he thought about it, it was because of Aunt Zhao's arrogance that she got beaten up. Feeling tired, he turned around and ordered the two maids to help Aunt Zhao back to the room. He turned around and glanced at the two women before entering without saying a word.

Tanchun and Xichun came forward and asked about Mrs. Wang's situation. They were relieved when they learned that there was no serious problem. They also said that they had just seen Baoyu and Miaoyu hanging around together.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang nodded slightly and said: "Who doesn't know that it is a magic star? I don't ask him to be sensible, I just ask that nothing happens. For now, let him go. You need to be disciplined. Girl Tan, the house is in chaos, and you and Brother Feng are trying to discipline it. But if there is a nagging person behind your back, just beat him to death. I will go talk to the old lady afterwards."

Sister Feng and Tan Chun agreed and then left.

After he came out of the hospital, Tanchun asked his maid to send Xichun back first, while he walked side by side with Sister Feng and asked: "Sister Feng, what did Madam just say..."

Sister Feng said: "I think it's just an angry talk, so don't pay too much attention to the third sister. The house is in such a mess right now, how can we care about people gossiping behind their backs? I don't think it's a big deal for my wife. I won't regret it after a while." maybe."

Tanchun said: "Then just listen to Sister Feng."

Sister Feng smiled, glanced sideways at her, and said angrily, "You've learned a trick."

Tan Chun smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Feng, please forgive me. If I don't act cunning, what else can I do?"

Mrs. Wang ordered to establish authority, but it was an offending job. Tanchun had just sorted out the housework, so why would he be willing to beat people to death with sticks? Mrs. Wang's explanation in the future was just an angry talk, and the old lady couldn't tolerate her. She was afraid that she would blame Tanchun and Sister Feng in the future.

Tanchun used Sister Feng as a shield, but Sister Feng didn't take it seriously. She knew that this sister-in-law was always in a dilemma.

So he said: "If I don't feel sorry for you, how can I give you a reason to talk? That's all, you go to patrol quickly. I'll go see the old lady first. I don't know if your second brother will come back now."

While they were talking, the two of them arrived near Sister Feng's courtyard. They saw the maid Hu Po coming in a hurry. When they caught a glimpse of them, they hurriedly knelt down and said, "Second Grandma and Third Miss, a message came from the front, saying that Miss Lin was led by the Second Master." The female officer, Grandma Wei, is back."

"Oh?" Sister Feng and Tan Chun looked at each other and thought, "Why didn't Sister Lin come back? Well, let's go and listen to what Miss Wei has to say first." She turned around and told Ping'er: "Go and inform Mrs. "One sound."

Ping'er agreed and hurriedly turned around and went back to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

But he said that Sister Feng and Tanchun had left earlier, and only Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Baochai were left in the room.

Now that things have happened, it is self-evident whether the psychic jade is real or fake. The jade was broken, so Baoyu went crazy for a while and went to look for the wonderful jade. It didn't look like a lifeblood.

Just now, Mrs. Wang was completely offended by Jia Mu, and she still doesn’t know how to show her face to others in the future. If Mrs. Wang is like this, why not Aunt Xue and Baochai?

A perfect match between gold and jade. Even the jade is fake, so how can the golden lock be real?

Although no one mentioned it in front of me, I couldn't say it behind my back, and the Xue family became a joke. The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but say, "It's all my fault, Brother Jian!"

Mrs. Wang sighed: "What's the use of talking about it now? I didn't hide it from my sister. When Daiyu returned from Suzhou, she brought some money. There was not enough money to build the Grand View Garden that day, so I asked the old lady for instructions and misappropriated some money. . Now that Daiyu is married to Brother Jian, this money——"

Aunt Xue asked: "Sister, I wonder how much money is missing?"

"This... I haven't calculated it in detail. It's probably one hundred thousand taels."

Aunt Xue stared at her eyes: "How much?" Before Mrs. Wang could say anything, Aunt Xue said aggrievedly: "Sister, I also know that my family is getting worse every year. The royal merchants have no foundation, no protection for their livelihood, and the shopkeepers are often treacherous. Yes, if the livelihood had not been sold back then, there would be a severe famine now.

My sister borrowed fifty thousand taels earlier, how can I have so much money now? "

Mrs. Wang said, "I know it's not easy for you." She looked at Sister Bao as she spoke and said, "How can I not know what you are thinking? Now that we are really in trouble, this hole will be added out of necessity. Wait until Baochai comes through the door tomorrow. , when I get older, shouldn’t Baochai be the one to take charge of the family?”

Hearing that Mrs. Wang finally spat out, Aunt Xue thought for a long time, shook her head and said, "Sister, I really can't move." Mrs. Wang said, "Doesn't your daughter-in-law still have a lot of dowry?"

"Scared!" Aunt Xue said: "Then Xia Jingui is easy to worry about? She moved around a bit before, and she made a fuss for several months. Even Wenlong's concubine Bilian was beaten half to death, and now she is still relying on her Ginseng is here to kill me. If I take more money, Baochai and I will be killed by her!"

Baochai said from the side: "Don't worry, my aunt. Fourth brother Jian has tens of millions of dollars, so why would he care about such a small amount of money? My aunt and fourth brother Jian have had a good discussion. I don't think there is room for easing this matter."

Mrs. Wang just shook her head and said: "That person named Li is a petty person. He has hated me for a long time. Now that he has been taken advantage of, how can he be willing to let it go?"

Aunt Xue said: "The old lady is also relieved. I think my sister might as well discuss it with the old lady."

Mrs. Wang shook her head again. In the situation just now, it was clear that Jia Mu was disgusted with her and Baoyu, otherwise how could she have said such words?

If you go to ask the old lady Ken, there is no chance that the old lady will let the man surnamed Li tease her, and then she will come forward to be a good person.

Regarding this matter, Baochai suddenly said: "I have never heard Sister Lin mention the money accompanying her. Maybe Fourth Brother Erjian doesn't know about this?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Why don't you understand Baochai now? The eldest girl is now a virtuous concubine, and our family is a prince. The saint has decreed a marriage, so he must give some face. This time, no news was leaked, and suddenly According to the decree, it is impossible to say that the person Lin Ruhai submitted a memorial to ask for approval that day was to marry Daiyu to a man named Li.

The man surnamed Li went to Yangzhou several times. With Lin Ruhai's temperament, how could he not tell the details? "

Aunt Xue and Baochai looked at each other and immediately ran out of ideas.

Mrs. Wang held her forehead and sighed: "For the current plan, the only way is to bite the wrong person named Li and Daiyu to death. Only in this way can we delay it for a while."

At this moment, Caiyun quickly stepped inside and replied: "Madam, Miss Ping'er said that Mr. Lian came home with Nanny Wei who is beside Miss Lin."

Mrs. Wang stood up and said, "I don't care about face now. Let's see what the female officer says first."

............................................................

The carriage rumbled along, and in the carriage Li Weijian was thinking about how to break up with the Jia family later. The reason behind this marriage grant was probably something he would have to bear on his own, so he couldn't blame it on Lin Ruhai.

On the one hand, Jia Mu and Daiyu's grandparents had a deep love, so it was hard to get into trouble; on the other hand, the old lady was a sensible person, so even if Li Weijian was willing to accept her, I think the old lady would be able to figure out the reason later.

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves approaching, and then Ding Rufeng's voice came: "Master, about the situation of the Wang family brothers, I have heard something happen."

Li Weijian ordered: "Come in and talk."

"Yes." The carriage sank, and then the curtains were opened. Ding Rusong bowed and got inside. Then he sat down and said, "Does the master know the pattern of wisdom?"

"Hui Wen?"

Ding Rufeng said: "It is also called Huixiu. It is said that there was a woman named Huiniang in Gusu twenty years ago. She was also from a scholarly eunuch family. She was good at calligraphy and painting, but she occasionally embroidered one or two pieces for fun. Not a commercial product.

All the flowers embroidered are imitated from the branches and flowers of famous artists in the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. Therefore, the patterns and colors are all elegant, and the craftsmanship cannot be compared to the blindly rich and colorful ones.

On the side of each flower, there are old sentences, poems or songs written by ancient people about this flower. They are all embroidered with cursive characters in black velvet. No better than the city embroidery handwriting, strong and hateful.

This woman does not profit from this skill, so although the world knows it, very few people have gained it. In the wealthy and noble families of the world, there are many people who do not have this thing. Today it is called "Hui Embroidery".

However, Hui Niang died at the age of eighteen, and now she can't get another one. In every house, even if there are one or two pieces, they are treasured and not used. There are a group of literary gentlemen in the Hanlin Academy who cherish the beauty of "Hui embroidery" and say that the word "embroidery" cannot be perfect. It seems abrupt to use the word "embroidery" in such a handwriting. Everyone discussed it and decided to The word "embroidery" was disappeared and replaced with the word "pattern", so it is now called "Hui pattern". "

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Where did you learn your tongue? These words come out of your mouth in a strange way."

Ding Rufeng said: "I recited it for a long time before I remembered it." After a pause, he got down to business and said: "It is said that there is a Sun family in the south of the city who got a Hui pattern Kang screen in his early years. Only then can he show off his skills. The children of the Sun family were promiscuous and somehow got acquainted with Wang and Wang Ren. When these two people heard that the Sun family had a kang screen with a pattern of wisdom, they wanted to take it by force.

The Sun family refused, so Wang colluded with the official Fu Shi, found a random charge, and imprisoned the head of the Sun family. Later, the two men came to threaten him, and then the Kangping was taken away. "

Why is there still something about Fu Shi here? Li Weijian frowned as he listened.

Ding Rufeng said again: "The head of the Sun family came out of the cage and heard that the kang screen was taken away by force. He was so angry that he lingered on the sickbed and died not long after. Now the youngest daughter of the Sun family is defending her father. The new promotion official was afraid of the Wang family's reputation, so he sent the Sun family's daughter back because there was no real evidence.

Li Weijian tapped the carriage gently with his right hand, and after a moment he said: "Sent people to keep an eye on the Sun family's daughter. I heard that Wang Ziteng will leave Beijing in the next few days. As soon as Wang Ziteng leaves, we will give eye drops to the Wang family. "

"Yes."

Ding Rufeng responded, bowed and exited the carriage.

Li Weijian and Shuntian Prefecture Yin have been friends for many years, and with him as a promoter, this case will make them disgraced even if it does not cost Wang and Wang Ren their lives.

As for Fu Shi, he still sends letters every month, asking Fu Qiufang to ask Li Weijian to absolve him of his sins and preferably reinstate him to his original position.

Li Weijian expected that Fu Shi had become crazy at this time, and if he stayed, he would only implicate Fu Qiufang and the child who was about to be born. That being the case, what does Li Weijian have to do with whether this cheap uncle is alive or dead?
After calming down, he raised his eyes and saw the door of his house was in front of him. The disciple of the Rong Mansion caught a glimpse of the carriage and hurriedly came up to talk to Ding Rusong. Ding Rusong then turned his horse around and said to Li Weijian: "Master, the disciple of the Rong Mansion has received instructions and said that the old lady asked the master to come over."

Li Weijian nodded and said, "Don't be busy. Wait until I change my clothes before going."

Driving into Debo Mansion, Li Weijian went all the way to the main room of Dedong Road Courtyard. At this time, all the concubines and concubines were there. Xu Shi was still discussing something just now. When they saw Li Weijian arriving, they all got up to greet him.

Fu Qiufang said worriedly: "Does the master know that the marriage decree has been issued?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Eunuch Dai came to the Military Academy first for the first time."

It was wrong to promise huge profits. How could Dai Quan declare the decree without first finding out whether Daiyu was there?

"Then... I think I have a complete plan, so I don't have to worry anymore."

Bao Qin also said: "I just said that the fourth brother has settled it. I can't say that Sister Lin will not leave at Master Hu's house this time."

Li Weijian smiled and nodded Bao Qin's forehead: "Little clever devil." He immediately stretched out his arms and said: "Qingwen, change my clothes."

Qingwen hurried over and took off her clothes for Li Weijian, and Li Weijian went inside and changed into regular clothes. When he came out, he saw Bao Qin coming up to him and saying, "Fourth brother, why don't I go with him? If we get into trouble, at least there is someone who can help."

Li Weijian said happily: "I am very confident now, how can I use your help? Just stay at home, I will come as soon as I go."

At that moment, Li Weijian put on his mink fur cloak again and strode from Huifang Garden to Grand View Garden, and then to Jia Mu's Courtyard.

Coming out of the backyard, a maid called out with sharp eyes, and the eldest maid Yuanyang hurriedly came up to meet her.

"Fourth Master Jian!" After seeing the gift in a hurry, Yuanyang didn't care much at this moment and lowered his voice and said quickly: "Mother Wei is among them. The old lady didn't say anything, but she made a fuss. She was the one who kept scolding Miss Lin. . Yes, I also said something wrong with Fourth Master.”

Li Weijian paused briefly and turned his head to observe the mandarin ducks. Yuanyang looked at him and hurriedly lowered his eyes. Li Weijian whispered: "Thank you very much. Just take good care of Sister Yun from now on."

The mandarin ducks suddenly flew into their cheeks, knowing that Li Weijian must have known that he had accepted Xiangyun as his mistress. It was not easy to say anything at the moment, so he only whispered in a low voice: "Fourth Master Jian, be careful and say more nice things to the old lady." , there shouldn’t be any gaps even if you think about it.”

Li Weijian smiled and said nothing. He was trapped in the Jia family. He was afraid that he still didn't know his current status, and he would no longer be able to suppress him.

He didn't say anything. He walked past Baoxia and turned around the screen to get inside. Yuanyang hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Old lady, madam, Fourth Master Jian is here."

When Li Weijian entered the room and took a quick look, he saw Mother Jia frowning, Mrs. Wang with a gloomy face, and Wei Jianyu sitting down at the bottom, who also stood up to greet him. Is it...admiration? Two more curious people, Tanchun and Xichun, came over to observe.

Smiling with the two little girls, Li Weijian cupped his hands and said: "Old lady, this junior is here. What's going on? Look at the bad look on my wife's face. Could it be that the old disease has relapsed? This junior happens to have a relationship with Dr. Wang, so why not invite Dr. Wang? Come and take a look?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Brother Jian, please stop making sarcastic remarks about me. Were you not the one who caused me to be in this situation?"

Jia Mu frowned and said, "They are all relatives. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk it over. Brother Jian, please sit down quickly."

Li Weijian thanked her with his hands, lifted up his robe and sat down opposite Sister Feng.

Then Mrs. Wang said reluctantly: "After all, the old lady is also Daiyu's grandmother. How can anyone directly ask for an imperial edict for this important matter of marriage without going through the old lady?"

Li Weijian said: "If the old lady said this, I should apologize and be upset. But madam, what you said... I'm afraid there is something wrong, right?"

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "Brother Jian, tell me, I am Aunt Daiyu, what's wrong with saying this?"

Li Weijian sneered and said, "Okay, I'll just take it as my wife. I'm really confused. Then I might as well say it clearly. I begged Sister Lin to hide this matter for several years. What was I guarding against? Madam doesn't know?" "

Mrs. Wang felt guilty at this moment, but she said stubbornly: "Ever since Daiyu came to the house, she has always followed the example of this precious jade. If there is a precious jade, then there is a Daiyu. Have I, my aunt, ever treated her so harshly?" Pass her?"

Li Weijian said coldly: "Madam, you are really embarrassed to say it. There is no shortage of daily food. It's just that Sister Lin has weak bones since she was a child, so she has to use medicinal food to warm her up. Why didn't Madam tell me what happened to the medicinal food?" "

Mrs. Wang quibbled: "I still wonder what it is, but I'm talking about medicated food. Although Rongfu has a big family and a big business, you can't just eat ginseng and bird's nest. You can have it if you want. My daily life is short, I Didn’t you send someone to buy it later?”

"Do you have to tell me clearly?" Li Weijian said coldly: "I'm afraid my wife is not short of a few days, but is deliberately trying to feed Sister Lin to death, so that she can eat well and die, right?"

"You, stop talking nonsense!"

At this time, Wei Jianyu said: "Who in the Rong Mansion doesn't know what Madam is thinking? It's just that I have never had a good look towards Miss Lin. I only take herbal medicines intermittently, and often substitute inferior ones. It's not Uncle Li's fault." I often send maids to bring medicinal meals, I am afraid that our girl will die of nausea!"

Li Weijian took advantage of the situation and said: "My wife is Sister Lin's aunt. Since I don't want to see Sister Lin, wouldn't it be mutually advantageous if I asked the imperial edict to marry her? Why bother getting into trouble at this time? Could it be because of a little waste of money?"

Mrs. Wang was so shocked that she looked at each other speechless. She trembled all over for a long time, then turned around and begged Jia Mu in mourning: "Old lady, you must make the decision for your daughter-in-law!"

Jia Mu sighed and then said: "Same, madam, you are an elder and you make random accusations without knowing the reason. Brother Jian is now a first-class uncle and has his own rules for doing things. How can you, a housewife, just make random accusations?" That’s all, please step aside and I’ll have a nice chat with Brother Jian.”

"old lady--"

"Why don't you get down quickly?"

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and had to go out with the help of the maid. She passed by Li Weijian and gave him a vicious look.

At this time, Jia Mu said to Wei Jianyu again: "You have worked so hard, Miss Wei, so you might as well go down and have a rest. I will have someone drive you back in a while. Girl Tan, you can do it for me."

Wei Jianyu stood up and thanked them, then followed Tanchun and Xichun to retreat.

Mother Jia sighed and waved to Li Weijian, and Li Weijian stood up and approached Mother Jia.

Mother Jia frowned and said: "Ru Hai...were you on guard against your wife having evil intentions that day? Also, how did your wife treat Yu'er? Yu'er would always talk to Ru Hai when she returned to Yangzhou. Such behavior is also reasonable. "

Li Weijian pondered and was speechless.

Jia Mu glanced at him suspiciously, and suddenly said: "Yes, money and silk are so exciting that I almost forgot about my unsatisfactory eldest son."

Li Weijian cupped his hands and said, "Old lady, don't blame your father-in-law. He is the only daughter of Sister Lin. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful."

Jia's mother sighed: "I'm old and can't take care of family affairs. Nowadays, those who are in charge of things up and down are either my wife's companion, or they secretly seek refuge with my wife. Even the maids who were sent to Baoyu's side never turn around." Get closer to your wife.

Brother Jian, don’t blame me, the old lady. I really wanted to take care of Yu'er, but I was really powerless. "

Li Weijian smiled and said, "It's not because of the old lady's presence. How can Sister Lin still be alive? I'm afraid that Sister Lin will be raised to death soon after the imperial doctor is replaced that day."

Jia's mother sighed: "Our family is unfortunate. The eldest daughter-in-law was originally a kind-hearted person, but she never stopped. Later, Mrs. Xing was confused again; the second wife was not good either, and she only had crooked thoughts to coax me."

Brother Jian, I originally wanted to help two Yu'ers get married so that they can stay with me and take care of them. Now that Yu'er has promised you, I can finally feel relieved. It's a pity that my daughter is just such a child. Brother Jian will have to take care of her a lot in the future. "

Li Weijian said quickly: "What are you talking about, old lady? Sister Lin and I know each other well. Even if I am wronged in the future, I will never let Sister Lin feel wronged again."

"Okay, okay." Mother Jia wiped away her tears and said, "Now I only ask Brother Jian for one thing. One day... Yu'er should marry from Rong Mansion. Brother Jian must save some face for my old lady. "

Li Weijian pondered and said: "In this case, I will keep my words in mind. No matter how much money Sister Lin brings, she can't be richer than my family. The old lady also knows the situation of this junior. I just hope that Sister Lin is safe and sound." Well, those little silver coins... I really don’t like them.”

Mother Jia nodded and said, "Good boy, even if you want it, I'm afraid your family won't be able to afford it. I've also left some money privately to prepare a few girls to accompany Yu'er when they get married, and each of them will give away 10,000 taels. Brother Jian Don’t be too young, the old lady always has my heart.”

"Yes." After saying this, Li Weijian simply agreed.

Then Jia Mu said again: "I know what Madam has in mind. Brother Jian, don't worry, tomorrow I will be on the job of her boss. It was indeed my biased attitude that caused the trouble. The family is not at peace. Now that She'er has passed away and Lian'er has inherited the family business, there is no reason to leave the affairs of the family to Brother Feng."

After a pause, he added: "With Brother Feng watching over me, I won't wrong Yu'er, Li and Brother Lan. Brother Jian might be relieved?"

Li Weijian said solemnly: "Second sister-in-law has always understood the general situation, so it is natural for her to be in charge."

"Okay, then...we've made an agreement?"

Li Weijian smiled and nodded in agreement.

Jia Mu then said, "Now that Yu'er's matter is over, Brother Jian might as well think about how to talk to Girl Yun later."

Just as Li Weijian was about to speak, he heard a reply from a mandarin duck outside: "Old lady, Mrs. Zhongjing Hou is here to see you."

Mother Jia glanced at Li Weijian and said, "That's good. You don't need to say anything. Anyone who can speak can come to the door."

(Li Weijian hasn’t finished the fight yet and still has some backup plans.)
