Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 328: Neem
In the study room at the front.

Hu Tingyuan, Hu Yanfang and Li Weijian sat down respectively as guest and host, and while the tea was served, they talked about their daily routine. Because most of the relatives in this family were Li Weijian, and he was not familiar with the Hu family, so after only a few words, he had to turn to the court affairs.

Hu Yanfang was too square and not good at talking, so he sat silently for a while, only listening to his father and Li Weijian chatting.

After talking about the reform, Hu Tingyuan suddenly changed the topic and talked about Jiangnan Chaoguan.

"The governor of Jiangnan wrote a letter saying that there are many nobles in the two rivers who bend the law for personal gain and buy banknotes to evade taxes. If strict inspections are carried out, the banknotes alone will pay millions more silver every year. The saint has already acquiesced before, but how can he catch up with the old lady? After the death of the concubine, the matter was delayed."

Li Weijian cupped his hands and said, "What Taishan said, my mentor once mentioned it to my son-in-law."

"Oh? What do you think this should be like?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "If you are not in his position or planning for politics, your son-in-law is still working in the inner palace, so how can he think so much?"

Hu Tingyuan said: "Resurrection is not yet a weak crown, so there is really no rush. It's just that if you want to make progress in resurrection one day, you have to go through the state capital before you can stand on the temple."

In the official system of Dashun, there were very few official positions of the fourth rank in the court, and those at the lower end corresponded to the prefect level. Regardless of whether it is a minister, a minister of Taipu Temple or other official positions, they are all of the third rank. Further down is Li Weijian's current position as doctor.

Daiyu responded like a mosquito or fly.

Li Weijian immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "Does Taishan have another opinion?"

Hu Tingyuan snorted coldly and said: "Isn't he the King of Jinling? In this Jiangnan sea trade, half of the ships belong to the Wang family."

Li Weijian thought about it: "There is no white jade bed in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King comes to invite the King of Jinling?"

When the three of them entered, Daiyu and Li Weijian greeted Zhang Yiren and Hu Tingyuan respectively, and then sat down under Zhang Yiren's warm greetings.

"Wang family? Wang Ziteng?"

Even so, I dealt with the two Wang brothers first, and now I can help even the one from the East Palace to beat them.

Li Weijian also stood up and said with a smile: "Taishan's words are serious. My son-in-law is already too drunk, but now he saves himself a lot of trouble."

He secretly thought that this matter was also planned by Sister Feng's biological father, Prince Gizzard. Seeing that something was wrong, I simply resigned and returned home. Prince Teng came to support the Wang family's business, and planned to absorb nutrients from the other three families to strengthen himself. He also handed over the East Palace in advance to wait for tomorrow...

Then Li Weijian said again: "But I remembered a joke. It was said that Xu Xian married Lady White, and one day Lady White couldn't help but fart, making a sound like thunder. Xu Xian was surprised for a long time and then said: 'It turns out that Lady is a rattlesnake.' "

Hiss...this Mr. Wangge is so calculating!
But Hu Tingyuan smiled and said: "It's up to people to plan things... It's up to God to make things happen."

Hu Tingyuan said: "Wangge Lao Jiliu retreated bravely. He cannot be a prime minister, but he is also rich."

Li Weijian understood instantly. The prince was the daughter of the saint's first wife, the queen, but the queen had no holidays, and the saint passed away only three years after he ascended the throne. Although the saint took good care of the prince, he lacked the protection of his biological mother. In addition, the mother's family was not strong, and the King of Jin was looking after him. He guessed that the prince was anxious and so he quietly collected money and invited fame, not only for the sake of great treasure, but also for himself. Save.

At that moment, the three of them came out of the study and went to the main room at the back. Since they were all members of the family, there was no screen in the main hall, only a table.

The banquet was just ordinary, and no drinks were prepared, but Daiyu ate extremely well. But every time he glanced at Li Weijian, his eyes were full of anger. Li Weijian was puzzled and didn't know what Zhang Yiren and Sister Lin said.

Li Weijian blinked and wondered, "I didn't treat my sister harshly. Where did I make a mistake?"

"Ha," Hu Tingyuan said with a smile: "Wang Ziteng climbed to a high position by stepping on the corpses of Ning Rong's two soldiers. How can this person not know that the cunning rabbit will die and the lackey will be cooked? In order to plan for the future of the Wang family, don't you have to submit a nomination certificate in advance? ? As long as the prince is gone, although the Wang family will be in ruins, as long as the prince successfully ascends the throne, the Wang family may not be able to recover. "

It was approaching sunset, and Li Weijian and Daiyu just left Hu's house while Zhang Yiren was reluctant to leave. As the carriage rumbled away, Li Weijian couldn't help but ask: "What did my godmother and sister tell me? Just now when we had tea, we kept talking but stopped talking. I see that my godmother is holding back a lot of words in her heart."

Li Weijian laughed loudly and let Dai Yu beat her randomly with her small fists, only to hold her thin figure in her arms. After a while, Daiyu said faintly: "Fortunately, I married Fourth Brother Jian."

After hearing this, Li Weijian smiled and agreed, but he didn't take it seriously. How old is he now? How dare you get promoted again? At this moment, he has provoked the man from Changle Palace several times. If he gets promoted again, there is no doubt that all the cats and dogs will get attached to him.

How could the prince not make the saint jealous by acting like this? It should be noted that the emperor took advantage of the palace change to become the emperor, so how could he tolerate the recurrence of the past?

Daiyu laughed out loud, and felt that she was being teased by Li Weijian. She immediately lost her face and rushed over to Li Weijian's arms, beating her randomly.

Hu Tingyuan stood up and said: "Today coincides with the national funeral. It is not easy to prepare a banquet. We only prepare homely meals. Don't be picky about it after the resurrection."

Daiyu said angrily: "Fourth brother, how dare you say that? If it weren't for you, how could I have been taught a lesson by my godmother?"

The table was removed just before the end of the wedding, and the maid brought tea again. Zhang Yiren glanced at Li Weijian several times, hesitating to speak but in the end he didn't say much.

Hu Tingyuan smiled and said: "Resurrection is still young, so it is normal not to know this." After a pause, he said: "The Wang family."

Li Weijian smiled and moved twice, but Daiyu turned her head away each time. Li Weijian was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a slight sound, and soon saw Daiyu blushing.

The Wang family's sea trade business was prosperous and they wanted to evade taxes. What was Prince Gizzard's plan? Li Weijian suddenly remembered that Wang Ren and Wang were very close to the man from Changle Palace. Could it be that all the Wang family's money was lost to the East Palace?
Thinking of this, Li Weijian asked: "Changle Palace?"

"You——" Daiyu was angry, but she couldn't say anything. So just stop sulking.

Hu Tingyuan said with a smile: "Don't you hear that the male lion is not old and the young lion is strong? There is no father and son in the heavenly family."

Li Weijian made a mental note, and then started chatting with Hu Tingyuan. After half an hour, the person in charge came in and said with a smile: "Master, Second Master, Auntie, my wife said that the banquet has been arranged."

Taking the promotion of ordinary officials as an example, the highest rank for a court official is the fifth rank, and those above him either have a special purpose or have to go down to the state capital to run a party. In addition, Dashun learned from the success and failure of the previous Ming Dynasty and followed the example of not visiting prefectures and counties and not joining the cabinet, because there were really not many mediocre people in the cabinet.

The young couple's love in bed was at a time when they were inseparable, so why should she be a bad person? I guess this cheap son-in-law knows what he's doing, so I don't expect him to be too reckless.

Li Weijian shook his head and said, "It's not that my son-in-law is well-informed. It's actually the two juniors of the Wang family who tried to take advantage of it several times. On the wedding day, the man from Changle Palace came over and had a drink in person, so I can't help my son-in-law thinking too much." After a pause, he continued: "Now that the saint is in his prime, the Wang family is about to start planning for the next dynasty?"

Li Weijian said: "The Wang family is very calculating."

"Huh?" Hu Tingyuan suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You are well-informed about the resurrection."

"If you say it stupidly, I'll ignore you no matter how stupid you say it."

The King of Jin is different. His biological mother, Concubine Wu, now rules the Sixth Palace. Although she does not have the name of a queen, she has the actual status of a queen. The Wu family is extremely wealthy, so it’s hard to say who will get the great treasure in the future.

Hu Tingyuan also knew it well, so he mentioned it briefly and stopped talking about it. Then he said: "After resurrection, can we know who the nobles mentioned in the memorial to the governor of Jiangnan are?"

Li Weijian's heart moved and he said, "Why should I be ashamed, sister? People who eat whole grains cannot help themselves for a while."

"This...please forgive my son-in-law for being ignorant."

Li Weijian immediately acted evilly and said, "Does my sister still want to marry someone else?"

Daiyu raised her eyes and said coquettishly: "We are talking seriously, but you are here to make trouble." After a pause, she said: "Although I have thought about getting married privately, I am always worried. In that book, the talented man, A beautiful woman gets married and lives happily ever after... I don't believe in this kind of thing."

He raised his eyes and looked at Li Weijian, his eyes shining brightly as he said: "How many people have passed the door and it's just you and me. Once they've passed the door, all the friendship has been wiped out by the firewood, rice, oil and salt. I was originally afraid that my fourth brother would think too well of me and treat me badly. It’s inevitable that I’ll be disappointed over time, but now I feel a lot more relieved.”

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Although my sister was born like a fairy daughter, she is not a fairy daughter. Just like me, although I have some intelligence, I am not a saint."

Daiyu smiled and said: "How can there be such a saint in the world who makes fun of others?"

"This is exactly the truth. We are all ordinary people. From now on, we just need to care about and support each other to live our lives."

Daiyu agreed and immediately clung to Li Weijian's arms obediently.

The carriage rumbled for a while, and Daiyu suddenly stood up and said: "Everything else is fine, but don't make any more trouble at night... Once or twice in three days is enough, how can you have three or two times in one day?" I'm already weak and I can't bear it anymore."

Li Weijian pretended to be aggrieved, but Daiyu ignored him and continued: "I heard that my concubine has a rotating schedule every month. I will discuss it tomorrow and extend this schedule. In order to avoid the fourth brother's daily They just want to tease me.”

Li Weijian felt happy and sighed: "That's okay, my sister will arrange it. A normal grandmother would like to tie her husband to her belt, but my sister will push him out as soon as he passes the door."

Daiyu said casually: "I'm still young... Fourth brother, please wait another two or three years."

Li Weijian seemed to have no choice but to agree. Daiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Zicuckoo and Xueyan are not young now. Fourth brother will stay in my room when he comes. If he really can't hold it in anymore, he will take them away." They are. The only thing is that it is a period of national mourning, and the fourth brother is a noble man, so it is not easy to cause trouble outside. "

"I listen to my sister."

Li Weijian couldn't help but secretly feel proud that he had succeeded this time. Although he loved Daiyu very much in his heart, he had eaten meat after all. From now on, he would just eat vegetarian food every now and then. How could he bear to see the smell of meat in the sky?

Driving back to the uncle's house, Li Weijian first sent Daiyu to the East Road Courtyard, and then went to the study room in front of him. He looked for the Ding brothers and ordered: "Find the right people to keep an eye on the two sons of the Wang family. If there are any mistakes or omissions, report them as soon as possible." I'll report it."

The Ding brothers bowed their hands in agreement, then turned around and went to keep a close eye on him.

Li Weijian stood in the study with his hands behind his hands and thought for a long time. He expected that as long as the fire was lit this time, it would spread to the East Palace without the connivance of the saint. In this way, it can be considered as a little bit of bad breath.

In the evening that day, Li Weijian still went to the main room of the East Road Courtyard. Daiyu's expression suddenly changed, and she begged for permission in every possible way, and then pushed Li Weijian out.

In the East Road courtyard, Fu Qiufang has moved to the West Road courtyard, and Qingwen is now placed in the wing of the main courtyard. When Li Weijian was young and strong, he immediately went to find Qingwen.

Qingwen was still sewing at this moment, and when she saw Li Weijian arriving, she was immediately surprised.

After being welcomed into the room, he smiled and said, "Why did Fourth Master come to my place if he wasn't coaxing grandma?"

Li Weijian smiled and said nothing, and let Qingwen wash her hands. Then he turned around and the old man seemed to be slumped on the bedside, and let Qingwen fetch her feet.

Putting his feet into the hot water, Li Weijian hummed in comfort, and then a pair of tender little hands began to rub them carefully. Qingwen then whispered: "The sisters have discussed it, saying that grandma has just come over, so we have to leave some time. It is better to wait until next month to schedule. I didn't expect that only two days later, the fourth master was sent out by grandma. ”

Li Weijian looked at Qingwen and said, "Then have you ever missed me?"

Qingwen was filled with pride. She curled her lips but couldn't help but smile, and said angrily: "I didn't even think about it."

"Didn't you think about it? Hey, that's too bad. I missed you for days for nothing."

Qingwen was coaxed to the point where her branches were trembling, and the sourness in her heart was instantly wiped away. After washing her feet, before Qingwen could get some water, Li Weijian pulled her onto the bed and got up in a hurry. It was also because she was thinking about her so much that she tried her best to cater to her this night. She kept tossing her until the middle of the night before she could no longer endure it and begged for mercy.

She endured her paralysis and served Li Weijian for another time. Qingwen found a handkerchief and cleaned it, got into Li Weijian's arms and said angrily: "Fourth Master's body is getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid there will be no one in the house except that girl Xiu Ying." I can bear it.”

Li Weijian hummed twice in agreement.

Qingwen added: "Previously, Aunt Fu and Xiangling generally said that every time they couldn't bear it, Bitong's little hooves were taken advantage of."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Who is so strange?"

Qingwen was very angry because she couldn't look down on Bi Tong's coquettish way of taking advantage. So he leaned close to Li Weijian's ear and said, "Later, the sisters discussed it and came up with an idea." Then he whispered a few words. Li Weijian, who was originally drowsy, suddenly opened his eyes, first surprised and then happy. He looked at Qingwen and said, "As expected?"

Qingwen suddenly got angry and lightly patted Li Weijian and said, "This is the fourth master's wish."

Li Weijian smiled and said: "You are wrong, you have to think on the bright side. Usually you can work for six days a month, but in the future you can work for more than ten days. After all, you have made a profit."

Qingwen was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but when she saw Li Weijian's eyes glaring and was about to pounce on him again, she was so frightened that her face turned pale and she begged: "Fourth Master, please forgive me this time. I really can't do it today!"

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

When the sky turned around, Li Weijian came into the court feeling refreshed and left crying (not crying, that's what the original text means). Qingwen forced herself to get up and go to Daiyu's house to set the rules, but she yawned all the time. The figure is swaying.

Her situation in the eyes of others naturally aroused everyone's suspicion. Daiyu turned around and gave instructions about household affairs, and then said to everyone: "When I didn't come here before, I heard that the house has a rotating schedule, and I don't know what the rules are?" At this time, Fu Qiufang was about to give birth, so she didn't have to worry about morning and evening. In Ding Province, he only cultivates himself in the small courtyard. Because she was the one with the highest status, Bao Qin said: "To tell you what grandma is saying, the sisters have made a rule before, and they will be on duty every three days. If there is any reason, they can switch between each other."

Daiyu said: "How about we follow these rules in the future?"

Baoqin is smart, and the ruby ​​next to her is not bad either. Before Baoqin could speak, the ruby ​​said: "Grandma is a legitimate wife, and she will be the wife of the house when she gets the royal decree. How can she be like us? I don't think it's better for Ban Yue to be there." In the grandma's room, the remaining half moon sisters are discussing the exchange. "

Daiyu smiled and said: "People outside say that I am petty, but I am not that jealous and want to tie my husband to my side. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to spend half the time in my room. I think it should be less." "

Baoqin said: "Half a month is too much, why not change it to ten days?"

Xiu Ying and Xiang Ling were like gourds at the moment. They would only nod in agreement to anyone who spoke, but they had no idea. After some calculations, Zijuan said: "I don't think it's necessary to die like this. It might as well be rotated every five days. In these five days, I'll be at my side for three days and at grandma's house for two days. If grandma is inconvenienced, I can just go to each other." Just go anywhere.”

Baoqin made some calculations and found that it was half a month before, but now it was only three days less... Then he took a secret look at Zicuckoo, thinking to himself that the extra time was planned by Zicuckoo for himself.

Daiyu had no choice but to ask everyone's opinion. Xiuying and Xiangling nodded in agreement. Qingwen was still groggy and sore at the moment, so she didn't refute. Baoqin was determined to refute. , but they knew that Zicuckoo was the dowry maid next to her grandma, so although she was dissatisfied, she recognized her with her nose.

After the matter was settled, Daiyu dismissed everyone and began to look at the account books alone.

At noon, Li Weijian returned home. After changing his clothes, he collapsed on the soft couch and sighed, "I don't think I have to go back tomorrow."

After three days, from now on, the nobles and other officials would cry three times a month, and the civil and military officials in the court would cry twice a day. Li Weijian, who was leading the errands of the inner government, was not considered a court official, so he avoided a lot of trouble.

Daiyu personally kneaded Li Weijian's shoulders and said with fear: "Thanks to the decree of Feng Gaoming, even four of these bones are falling apart. I'm afraid I will be tortured and seriously ill."

Li Weijian nodded repeatedly and said: "It's a fluke."

Daiyu passed for a while and said again: "Fourth brother, there is no need for the old lady to go to Cailin tomorrow. Why don't fourth brother and I go to Rongfu together? We won't stay too long and will just return at night."

Li Weijian nodded and said, "Just follow my sister, it's time to go over and see the old lady."

The two chatted for a while, and then Qianxue replied, saying that the Ding brothers had something important to report. Li Weijian secretly thought that it was the Wang brothers who had exposed themselves, so he said a word to Dai Yu and hurried to the study room ahead.

When they arrived inside, the Ding brothers were greeted and said, "Sir, Wang and Wang Ren behaved erratically. They went to Anshun Hutong to look for flowers and willows last night."

Li Weijian wondered: "The imperial court issued a decree that restaurants and brothels were not allowed to operate for the 27th. Where did these two people go to look for flowers?"

Ding Rusong said cheerfully: "Of course this brothel doesn't dare to open, but how can the sister behind the scenes control so much? As long as you give enough money, who can control it if you close the door to have fun?"

Li Weijian nodded and secretly said that's it.

Then I heard Ding Rufeng say: "Master, I heard that the Wang brothers entertained the second master Lian and Jia Qiang next door last night."

"Oh?" Li Weijian thought about it briefly and realized that Wang Ren must have never succeeded with Wang Xifeng, so he started to seduce Jia Lian.

Previously, the eldest masters Jia She and Jia Zheng had frequent contacts with the East Palace. During the holidays, Jia Lian would send New Year's gifts to the East Palace... Tsk, the Jia family is so stupid! The Wang family is investing in the future, but the Jia family dares to get close to the East Palace without any ideas. Isn't this looking for death?

Shaking his head, Li Weijian ordered: "Keep staring. In the past two days, I saw that these two people were having fun again, so I reported back immediately."

The two brothers agreed, and after Li Weijian waved his hands, they walked backwards out of the study.

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

Rongfu.

But he said that when he returned from the court that day, whether it was Jia Mu or Mrs. Xing, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were exhausted to death. Mrs.

Wang Xifeng and Tanchun, who were pregnant, hurriedly went to the imperial doctor for consultation. The imperial doctor treated her and said she was tired and sick. He prescribed some warming and tonic decoctions and used silver needles, and Jia Mu recovered a little.

After Tanchun saw off Dr. Wang, he turned around and said sadly: "Although it is honorable to cry in the palace, my ancestor has grown old and has really suffered."

Jia Mu, who had recovered a little, said, "You can't be absent from such a big sacrifice without any reason. Fortunately, you don't have to go to the palace every day. I will take care of you for a few days." After a pause, he asked about the people in the family. On that day, Wang Xifeng and Tanchun both said that everything was normal and there were no other surprises.

The aunt and sister-in-law made a tacit agreement not to mention Mrs. Wang. Although Jia Mu had promised to send him to the family temple that day, the virtuous concubine was still in the palace, and Wang Ziteng had been promoted to an official. He did not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, so he just kept him in his own courtyard, left and right. They are all relieved of the errands of the boss, so what does it matter where they are imprisoned?
Jia Mu was so tired that she sent her two sisters-in-law away after asking a few questions. Wang Xifeng returned to her small courtyard. When Tanchun entered the Grand View Garden, she ran into the servant who had come to look for the book.

When the servant saw Tan Chun, he hurriedly came up to her and said, "Girl, run away quickly, my aunt is here to look for her again."

Tanchun suddenly had a headache. He frowned and asked, "Why are you here looking for me again?"

Uncle Zhao Guoji had started to take action early in the morning, and Tanchun finally made up for his aunt twenty taels from his own body. Aunt Zhao was in disgrace that day, and a few days later she came to bother her again. Either she was missing something, or something was missing, and when she spoke to the servants in the family, she acted arrogantly and acted like the mistress.

Perhaps in Aunt Zhao's opinion, she was already favored by Jia Zheng, and now that her wife was under house arrest, could she just let her take charge of the second wife?

Tanchun resisted not falling out, but always took a detour.

The servant said in a low voice: "This time it is for Brother Huan. Sister-in-law Liu in the kitchen has a daughter named Liu Wu'er. Now she has reached the age. I don't know how Sister-in-law Liu managed to get her aunt to beg her, so she asked for it. The girl sent Liu Wu'er to Brother Huan's room."

Tanchun suddenly frowned and said, "There are rules for maids and mothers-in-law everywhere. Brother Huan now has four maids here. Could it be that my aunt wants to let her go out to make room?"

The servant said sarcastically: "I don't think my aunt is interested in that."

Tanchun suddenly became very angry. Although Mrs. Wang is imprisoned now and Baoyu has fallen out of favor, no matter how Baoyu is, he is still a man of the family. Although Aunt Zhao did not belittle Baoyu openly or secretly, she promoted Jia Huan in disguise. Compared with the second brother Bao, Jia's mother doesn't want to see Jia Huan even more. If he adds a maid for no reason, how will Tanchun explain to Jia's mother?
So he said angrily: "That doesn't make sense. I'll go and make it clear to her. Unless she becomes a serious wife, don't even think about adding anyone to Brother Huan's room!"

Tan Chunqi went to Qiu Shuangzhai with a huff, and he had a big quarrel with Aunt Zhao, and the mother and daughter broke up on bad terms. Aunt Zhao scolded her for half a day, and then she alarmed Mrs. Xing who was wandering in the garden, and was frightened away by her.

It's a pity that Mrs. Wang is under house arrest, Mrs. Xing can't take care of it, Wang Xifeng and Jia Mu are too lazy to take care of it, and Aunt Zhao suddenly becomes the king and dominates the mountain without tigers.

Tanchun had been teased several times, and her anger gradually faded away. Now she just hopes that Sister Feng will give birth as soon as possible so that she can return to the housekeeping duties.

There was no mention of Aunt Zhao going back to Mrs. Wang's courtyard to act arrogantly, but Sister-in-law Liu in the kitchen suddenly felt that her plan had failed when she heard about it.

Her daughter has been sick and weak since she was a child, and now she is raising her until she is sixteen years old. However, her condition is no worse than that of Ping'er, Xiren, Zicuckoo, and Yuanyang.

Originally, I was thinking of sending my daughter to a good place, which would make it easier for her to go without saying anything, but she couldn't say it the next day and she was taken away by her aunt. After some calculation, Second Master Lian was surrounded by his second mistress who was eyeing him, Second Master Bao gradually fell out of favor, Third Master Cong escaped from the house, and Jia Huan's place turned out to be a good place to go.

It was Sister-in-law Liu who persuaded Xiao Jixiang'er to talk to Aunt Zhao, and then personally took her daughter to visit Aunt Zhao, which led to today's incident.

Sister-in-law Liu saw the third girl and Aunt Zhao having a big quarrel, and she was afraid that the third girl would also bear a grudge against her daughter, so after much thought, she decided to target Jialan.

But it happened that Suyun came here with a food box. Sister-in-law Liu was very attentive and warm, but she refused to accept Suyun's reward. He turned to rub his hands and said with a flattering smile: "I have received so many benefits from my grandmother before, but I really don't have the shame to accept them any more. It's just one more thing to trouble the girl."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Liu, just say what you want."

Sister-in-law Liu then talked about her daughter, praised her a lot, and then said: "My daughter is naturally sick and weak, so she really can't do the rough work of a maid. So she had to go to the girl and ask her to send a message to the eldest grandma. , see if Wu’er can be allowed to serve in Daoxiang Village in the future?”

Suyun pondered for a long time before saying: "It's okay for my sister-in-law to ask me to give you a message. It's just that the success or failure of this matter depends on our grandma. And my sister-in-law also knows that there is no shortage of girls in Daoxiang Village now."

Sister-in-law Liu said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that the old lady is keeping a close eye on Grandma and Brother Lang nowadays? When Grandma opens her mouth, no matter if she is the third girl or the second grandma, she always has to show some kindness."

Suyun smiled and didn't answer, loaded up the dishes and left, while Sister-in-law Liu sent them all the way away before turning around.

Su Yun returned to Daoxiang Village all the way. Li Wan and Jia Lan were both there at this time, so Su Yun whispered to Li Wan what Sister Liu asked for in a low voice.

Li Wan frowned after hearing this, and the maid Guizhi couldn't help but said: "Grandma, the Liu family is here for my brother."

Li Wan nodded, turned to look at Jia Lan who was studying through the blue gauze cabinet, and said thoughtfully: "A few days ago, the old lady mentioned adding a few more maids to Lan'er, but she was tripped up by the matter of crying in the palace. I'm done with it, and I haven't mentioned it again now. The Liu family is a snobbery, and the daughter she raised is probably of bad character——"

Suyun didn't say anything, and Zizi said, "I'm afraid grandma is mistaken."

"How to say?"

Zi Zi said: "Although Wu'er is the daughter of a cook, she has good looks and doesn't look like a snobbery. Besides, grandma is selling Sister Liu a favor. I'm afraid Sister Liu won't have the face to accept our money in the future."

Li Wan thought it was reasonable and asked Su Yun again. Su Yun had no objection, so the matter was settled and he would wait until Li Wan went to talk to Jia's mother the next day.

After dinner, Biyue went to deliver the food boxes and replied when she came back: "Grandma, Miss Qin from Uncle Cai's Mansion came here just now. She said that my uncle's family is coming over tomorrow."

Li Wan suddenly burst into laughter: "Brother Jian and Sister Lin should come over too. The old lady has talked about it overtly and secretly so many times."

Gu Zi then smiled and said: "Brother, I have been visiting my uncle's house these days. I might have wanted to see my uncle and aunt early in the morning."

While he was talking, he suddenly heard panic coming from outside. Li Wan hurriedly sent Biyue to have a look. After a while, Biyue ran in in a panic and said: "Grandma, Hongyu just found the third girl. She said that Aunt Fu was going to give birth right now, so she was sent by my uncle." Hongyu came to ask the imperial doctor to come and help."

"Ah?" Li Wan was startled, stood up and said, "Didn't the uncle prepare a Wen Po?"

Biyue only heard a word, so how could she know? Because I can only shake my head.

Li Wan and Fu Qiufang had a close friendship in private, and he thought that he was carrying his brother's first child, so he walked around the room anxiously. He stood still for a while and said, "No, I have to go over and take a look."

Jialan immediately dropped the book and said, "I'll go too."

Li Wan glared and scolded: "You are resting peacefully, why do you want to cause trouble?"

Jia Lan said: "My child has never caused trouble. He also helped my uncle a lot before."

"What's the big deal?"

Jialan blinked and immediately started to hesitate. Li Wan had no time to consult at this time. He put on his coat and said, "Have a good time at home." Then he took Su Yun and Bi Yue and hurried to the uncle's house.

Entering Huifang Garden from the East Corner Gate, I was going to the East Road Courtyard. I asked the maid on the way and found out that Fu Qiufang was in the West Road Courtyard, so I immediately turned back.

When he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Li Weijian pacing with his hands behind his hands. Li Wan immediately came over and asked, "Mr. Wen, have you prepared the hot water? My mother is in the house, why are you so panicked when things happen?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "We still have a few days to go, so I don't want to be too early. Don't worry, eldest sister, Wen Po and hot water are all ready. We just invited the Rongfu imperial doctor just as a precaution. Oh, eldest aunt is here. In the main room, it’s better for the eldest sister to go to the main room first.”

Li Wan was relieved after hearing what he said, and after saying a few words, he went to the main room. When he entered, he saw Daiyu talking to her mother Liang, and sitting beside her were her aunt Liu, Li Wen, and Li Qi. Two cousins.

After everyone had said their greetings and then sat down, they heard the faint sound of a baby crying in front of them.

Ms. Liang immediately stood up in surprise and said, "Quick, go and see if she's giving birth!"

The maid hurriedly ran out, and when she opened the door, she saw a woman coming in with a smile and saying congratulations: "Congratulations, madam, grandma, my aunt has given birth to a little daughter weighing six pounds and two taels!"

Mrs. Liang was stunned and suddenly felt a little lost. Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "It's good to have the baby. This is the first baby, and the second and third babies will come in a few years."

Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Daiyu, only to see her expression was indifferent. I couldn't help but think to myself, luckily this firstborn was a girl. If it had been a boy, I don't know what trouble Sister Lin would face in the future.

When Mrs. Liang heard what Mrs. Liu said, she started to laugh: "What my brothers and sisters said is true. What my brothers and sisters said is absolutely true."

On the side, Li Wen and Li Qi were clamoring to see their little niece, but Mrs. Liu stopped them. Li Qi was particularly unwilling. She rolled her eyes and said, "We are going to talk about Guyu. We don't need to give this child a name for the time being. Anyway, I want to give him a nickname. Guyu...Hua Feng...I think how about calling me Memories?"
