Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 329 Adding fuel to the fire
"Neem?"

As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, Li Wen smiled quietly and said, "The neem flower is bitter. It deserves a nickname, but it's not easy to give it such a name."

Li Qi immediately retorted: "My sister's words are wrong. Don't you hear that 'the peaches and plums are all flying in front of the door, and the spring is blooming again'? There are many praises from the ancients, but my sister can't be picky about the taste."

Li Wen smiled and said: "How can I be picky? It's just that my sister has to ask Fourth Brother Jian about this kind of thing."

Mrs. Liang then smiled and said: "Brother Jian has a daughter, but you two are here to chat. It's windy outside again. It's not easy to bring the child here right now. I think it's better to leave first and wait for a few days." Let’s go see it someday.”

Seeing that Mrs. Liang was about to leave, Daiyu hurriedly stood up and said, "Auntie, I'll see you off."

Daiyu helped Liang to the door, but Liang stopped her again: "Yu'er's body is weak and it's hard to catch the wind, so stay here."

At that moment, Liang, Liu, Li Wan, Li Wen, and Li Qi left the main room of the West Road Courtyard and went to the small courtyard at the back.

Zicuckoo and Xueyan came again and wrapped a cloak around Daiyu. As soon as the concubines and concubines dispersed, they went to the East Road Courtyard.

But he said that Li Weijian had been waiting in the second courtyard for a long time. When he heard that Mrs. Wen had come to report that everything had been cleaned up, he opened the door and entered the courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of blood. Fu Qiufang's hair was stuck to her temples and forehead, her face was pale, and there was a baby wrapped in red cloth beside her.

That's fine... Fu Qiufang pressed her cheek against the little baby and whispered, "Sister, daddy just came to see you."

Li Weijian asked: "Are you ready now?"

Now he led Jia Lian and Jia Qiang to sit down, and the king asked again: "Does the second master have a good relationship?"

Jia Lian's heart suddenly moved and he said with a smile: "Every building is closed, can we still call the girl?"

Fu Qiufang said: "Mr. Wen told me that she would wait for the baby to hold her for a while before she would start clamoring for milk."

Li Weijian waved his hands hurriedly: "Thank you for your hard work. You just gave birth. Lie down and don't move."

Li Weijian lowered his head and observed. His daughter, who had just been born, had cried a while and was now asleep, not clamoring for milk.

"master--"

Li Weijian also knew that there was no antibacterial and anti-inflammatory theory at the moment. If he stayed too long, he might really infect Fu Qiufang, so he took Fu Qiufang's hand and stood up and told him: "You're better now. I'll come see you tomorrow." "

But he said that Li Weijian returned all the way to the East Road Courtyard, and when he entered the main room, he clamored to change clothes to prevent the smell of blood from smelling to Sister Lin.

Li Weijian smiled and said nothing, let go of his hands and then turned away. After he left, Fu Qiufang looked at the little child and let out a long sigh of relief.

Being pregnant with Liujia and about to give birth soon, how could Fu Qiufang not think more about it? The mistress has just passed through the house, and if she gives birth to a concubine's eldest son, I am afraid that he will have to face the mistress in the future. Fortunately, a daughter was born this time, and I don't mind seeing the master's thoughts.

Fu Qiufang suddenly felt relieved, her eyes sparkling and she nodded in agreement. Then she turned away and looked at the baby: "Master, this is our child."

Wang smiled and said: "Money can make ghosts push... The old lady passed away and the girls everywhere are missing, so don't we have to move around diligently?"

Daiyu glanced at Li Weijian angrily, but couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth. After Li Weijian had changed his clothes and only the middle coat and Daiyu were inside, the two of them sat on the bedside. Daiyu was looking through the account books, but when she saw him coming over, she immediately told him, "Don't make any more trouble!"

While talking, Jia Lian was led in. The small courtyard seemed to be no more than two steps in. After turning around the hanging flower door and entering inside, he saw brightly lit lights all around. From a distance, he saw Wang Ren and Wang brothers waiting in front of the main door. Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "Excuse me for waiting a little longer, uncle."

Wang Ren smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go inside and talk."

The banquet was held, and there were beautiful women as company. Not to mention Jia Lian, even the originally reserved Jia Qiang gradually became more indulgent.

When Jia Qiang caught a glimpse of this situation, her face immediately tightened and she quickly turned to look at Jia Lian. Jia Lian was also silent, but he heard Wang laugh and say: "Why did the second master become less courageous after he attacked the prince?"

At this time, the mother-in-law came to urge her: "I just need to take a look at it once. This delivery room is not a place where you can spend too much time."

Daiyu came out and asked curiously: "Isn't it already scheduled for duty today? Why is the fourth brother here again?"

Wang sneered and said: "We are having fun behind closed doors, who can watch?"

Wang Ren also said: "We have been working hard for a few days. We just asked some female historians to accompany us, and we didn't use silk, bamboo and drum music. I don't expect it to spread."

Entering the interior, you can see whale oil lanterns carried around, illuminating the interior brightly. A banquet was set in the middle, and a female historian stood beside it.

The king asked Jia Qiang and Wang Ren again, and immediately stuffed the boy with money, and the boy turned around and left the yard. While they were having tea, they invited a few girls in.

The young man complimented: "Second Master has a title, shouldn't he go to the palace and cry? People from outside can't get in even if they want to. Second Master, please--"

Li Weijian carefully sat down beside the bed and said: "There's no rush, it will be there in a few days. It is said that chicken soup is the best for breast enhancement, but in fact, I think drinking more water is normal. I have invited Miss Xing over tomorrow to make more for you alone. Some steamed vegetables are bland in taste, but they are the most nutritious.”

Jia Lian said: "After all, it is a national mourning, so we should avoid it."

Anshun Hutong.

"Okay, okay, don't cause trouble, just follow my sister."

Fu Qiufang suddenly couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Master, I am going to be in confinement, where can I see the sky?"

The carriage stopped and the curtains were opened. Jia Qiang raised her eyes and glanced around, then frowned. It's pitch dark in this alley and there's no one around. Why are you coming here so late at night?

While he was wondering, he suddenly saw the courtyard door open, and a young man holding a lantern nodded and bowed forward. When he saw Jia Lian behind him, he immediately smiled and said: "The second master is here. My two masters have been waiting for half an hour."

As expected, Li Weijian did not cause any trouble that day, and just had a good sleep with Daiyu in his arms. The slight strangeness in Daiyu's heart suddenly disappeared, and she wished she could stay with Li Weijian every day. Just as she was dazed, something pressed against her lower abdomen. Daiyu woke up. When she realized what she was doing, she couldn't laugh or cry. She decided to change her mind and drive Li Weijian to Concubine Ji's room tomorrow.

Fu Qiufang frowned and said in distress: "Although my chest is swollen, it is not swollen. I can only ask the wet nurse to take it with me first."

Jia Lian felt itchy and said, "Then I'll invite Yu Chaner from Jinxiangyuan."

Li Weijian arrived on the bed, stretched out his hand to shake Fu Qiufang's hand, and said softly: "I just asked the kitchen to prepare some vegetable porridge that is easy to melt. I think you will be hungry now, so you can go to bed early after eating the porridge. "

Li Weijian smiled and said: "I just came through the door, why did they drive me out? The schedule starts from tomorrow, so I'd better stay with my sister today."

Jia Lian got off the carriage and said, "I just came out of the palace this afternoon. I have been exhausted these past few days."

Jia Lian had just drank wine with Yu Chan'er's embroidered shoes. Wang saw that his hair was becoming more and more wavy. He looked at Wang Ren and the latter started talking about business.

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

"Brother, I am very envious of you now. I will inherit the throne first and then take the title. Once the eldest master is gone, you will be the one to make the decision in the family. There is nothing more arrogant than that."

Jia Lian said smoothly: "Hey, you can't say that. The title passed down from my ancestors is just a third-class general here, so what is it worth? In addition, the harvest in Liaodong has not been good in the past few years, and there are clansmen to take care of... I won't hide it. You two, I have to think about it even if I want to come out.”

Wang Ren and Wang looked at each other again. The king was so excited that he raised his glass and drank it all. Wang Ren smiled and said, "You entered Debao Mountain and came back empty-handed."

Jia Lian asked: "What did my uncle say?"

Wang Ren said, "Did you know that my sister has a lot of money to make a living?"

After Jia Lian attacked the prince, it was also the time of mourning. He only secretly hung out with the You sisters, and how did he care about Sister Feng?

Because he only thought that he was talking about the greenhouse business, he smiled and said: "It's only a few thousand taels of stock for 10% of the greenhouse business, all year round."

Wang Ren said, "I'm not talking about the greenhouse."

"what?"

Wang Ren whispered: "Don't you know that my sister has started a bicycle business with a man named Li?"

Jia Lian frowned and thought for a while, then remembered that Sister Feng had sent several bicycles to her home last year. He smiled and said, "It's just a small fight."

Wang couldn't help but said: "It's not a trivial matter. Last year, just a few months after it opened, it already brought in thousands of taels. Even the Shuntian Mansion Yamen and the City Patrol Army and Horses Department bought a lot. It's hard to believe that it will be popular in the future!"

"Is there anything else?" Although Jia Lian was very casual in matters between men and women, he didn't care about any dirty or smelly things. He only wanted to have fun and didn't care about anything else. But in other matters, I still need more face. He Yiyi said: "It's just a woman's body, what does it have to do with me?"

Wang Dao: "You can't say that. The bicycle business is not a dowry. No matter how you calculate it, the second brother should have a share."

Seeing that Jia Lian didn't respond, Wang Ren said bewilderedly: "I would also like to express my congratulations to you and your wife."

"Where does happiness come from?" Jia Lian wondered.

Wang Ren said: "Donggong has taken a fancy to the bicycle business, and bought the shares from Feng Yatou for thirty thousand silver. Thirty thousand, how much does it cost to buy the factory?"

The wealth and silk moved people's hearts, and Jia Lian suddenly took a breath. While being excited, I suddenly remembered that Sister Feng had said that Wang Ren came to look for her before, so she suddenly said: "Isn't it possible that my uncle and Feng'er didn't talk things through before?"

Wang Ren put down his chopsticks and said coldly: "My sister is obsessed with money. Thirty thousand taels is too little. I asked around the capital and found out that a few thousand taels of silver turned into thirty thousand taels in a few months. In the world, Where can such a good thing come from? Even if money is not considered...it is the East Palace. I remember that the lord of your house often visited the East Palace when he was there..."

Jia Lian suddenly realized that the reason for the banquet held by these two people was Nao Shizi's bicycle factory.

Because he thought about it, he said: "It's natural that it's hard to offend Dong Gong. When I go back and have a good talk with Feng'er, I can't offend Dong Gong for this."

The king heard the shirk in Jia Lian's words, and sarcastically said: "Second brother now has a title, can't he still suppress my cousin? To put it bluntly, with the current status of second brother, who can't replace him?" Do you have to be flattering? If you get angry, just write a letter of divorce and send her away. Then the extravagant people outside will not be able to rush to send their daughter over. "

Wang Ren hurriedly said: "Did you drink too much? That's it. Come on, come on, don't mention this, let's have a good time today."

As they exchanged glasses of wine and exchanged cups, the female historians deliberately flattered them, and the atmosphere became more and more heated.

When the banquet was over, the king sent Jia Lian off and said in a low voice: "Second brother, if this matter is in line with the East Palace's wishes, there will definitely be a reward after this."

This was just an ordinary thing to say, but Jia Lian couldn't help but think about it. The Ning family was exiled, the eldest master passed away, Mrs. Wang was not only married, but her eldest sister, Concubine Xiande, died. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Jia family was now in decline. There was no hope for a virtuous concubine in the palace for the time being, and Jia Lian knew that he was not an official, so he decided to seek the protection of a big tree.

The East Palace is getting bigger and bigger, and it has a reputation of being tolerant. If you surrender now, you will be able to keep the Jia family's wealth in the future. Moreover, Jia Lian would hang out with his second and third sisters from time to time. The second sister urged him several times to give an explanation, but Jia Lian willingly accepted to become an outlaw, but he suffered from the lack of money on hand.

Because I couldn't help but think that if this happened, I wouldn't need more than three to five thousand silver. Wouldn't it be enough to buy a foreign house?

When he came out of the house in a daze, he ordered the carriage to take Jia Qiang back first. Then Jia Lian turned around and ordered the coachman to go to You's house.

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

Another day, it was Daiyu who returned to Jia Mansion.

When Tanchun got up early in the morning, he sent his mother-in-law to sweep around. Although there were no lights or decorations, she still took care of things neatly.

Due to the death of the old concubine, the principal of Yongshou County accompanied King Zhongyong in tears, so Li Wan stopped his errand as a teacher in the palace. In the morning, when she went to the old lady to say hello, Jia Mu asked about Fu Qiufang's situation.

Li Wan said that she would give birth to a daughter, and Jia Mu suddenly let out a sigh of relief. Mother Jia was afraid that Li Weijian might condescend to Daiyu, so she thought that she would have to ask her carefully later.

Because it was difficult to arrange a banquet during the national funeral, the usual family banquet had to be held. Ping'er happened to be there, so Jia's mother ordered Ping'er to discuss the charter with Sister Feng.

Ping'er took the order and left, then entered Sister Feng's courtyard in a moment.

Once inside, Ping'er smiled and said: "Yesterday, the uncle's house mobilized a large number of people to invite Dr. Wang, but it was useless in the end. I just heard from the eldest grandma that Aunt Fu gave birth to a daughter, and the old lady also breathed a sigh of relief. Woolen cloth."

Wang Xifeng was pregnant with Liujia, and this was the time when she was sentimental. After hearing this, she couldn't help but think to herself, how could she be born a daughter? If the baby in my belly is also a daughter, it will be difficult in the future... I can't look for an opportunity to hang out with the bison again, right?

Although I knew in my heart that it would be extremely difficult, I didn't know why, but I was eager to try.

Seeing Sister Feng frowning and not answering, Ping'er said: "The old lady asked grandma to get the charter. Miss Lin comes over. It's like returning home. Although it's not public, the meeting must be more dignified."

Wang Xifeng came back to her senses and said, "I'll put together all the dishes that Sister Lin likes to eat, and add them to the side. A total of twenty dishes will be enough."

Ping'er reported the names of the dishes as if they were family treasures. Sister Feng sometimes shook her head and sometimes nodded. In a short while, the master and servant decided on the recipe. Although Ping'er was illiterate, he wrote them down one by one. Just as he was about to give instructions to the cook, he was stopped by Sister Feng and said, "Your second master didn't come back at night?"

Ping'er said: "I didn't hear the letter. I think he didn't come back."

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly and was about to scold her when her maid Feng'er came in and said, "Grandma, the second master is here."

"He still knows to come back?"

With an angry mouth, he saw the curtain opened in a blink of an eye, and Jia Lian, who looked tired, lowered his head and got inside.

Sister Feng didn't want to see Jia Lian anymore. When she saw him like this, she frowned and said, "Where are you hanging out again? It's a national mourning. Be careful of being caught!"

Jia Lian came over smelling of alcohol and said with a smile: "Yesterday it was your two brothers who came to discuss matters with me. They just had a few drinks behind closed doors. Who could watch?"

"They are looking for you to discuss something?" Wang Xifeng asked alertly: "Could they be here to visit my bicycle factory again?"

Jia Lian had something to ask for, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Your brother was afraid that you were too calculating about money, so he kneaded it, broke it into pieces, and explained the truth to me." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "That one at the back. You are a noble man, and our family still has to rely on it, so we don’t want to offend you.”

Sister Feng had been taught by Li Weijian earlier, so she said: "I just thought about it for a few days, and I didn't say I won't sell it. Since the noble man likes it, it doesn't matter how much money it is, just take it. There is only one thing, so it is useless for me to keep some shares, noble man." If you want it, it’s better to take away all those factories.”

Jia Lian didn't know the plot of Changle Palace, so he was overjoyed and said: "I know Feng'er is a reasonable person, I will go and tell your brother the good news!"

Sister Feng hurriedly called her and said, "There's no need to rush. Sister Lin and brother Jian are visiting the house today, won't you accompany them?"

Jia Lian was thinking about his own affairs and said: "Changes will happen later. Besides, the uncle's house is located next to ours. Sister Lin used to live at home. How many times a month does Brother Jian not come here?"

Sister Feng did not force him to stay, and asked Ping'er to give the deed to transfer the factory to Jia Lian, and said: "If you don't want your nobleman to come back twice, you might as well send this deed together."

Jia Lian was overjoyed, took Wenqi and left happily. He went all the way to Wang's house and hurriedly came to find Wang and Wang Ren, but the manager told him that Wang had not returned home last night. Jia Lian slapped his forehead, thinking that the two brothers stayed at the secret door last night, and turned around to look for them in Anshun Hutong.

As soon as the carriages and horses arrived at the entrance of the alley, they saw government officials putting seals everywhere. The small courtyard where they had the banquet yesterday had already been sealed.

Jia Lian was shocked and hurriedly sent his boy to ask. The boy reported Jia Lian's name, and the impatient yamen servant just said: "Last night, the censor, who was patrolling the city, inspected this place and saw someone closing the door for a banquet. He immediately led the yamen servants to surround him and locked up all the rebellious people among them. It's hard to believe that the case file has already been handed over to the court -" He glanced sideways and said with a smile: "Hey, it's too late, let's wait for the court to tell you!"

The boy hurriedly asked Jia Lian for a reply, but Jia Lian was frightened half to death! During the national mourning period, he had a banquet with prostitutes and was caught by the imperial censor. It was hard to say whether his head could be saved!

At that moment, Jia Lian hurriedly changed direction and went to Wang's house to report the news.

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

Jinglingbo Mansion.

Daiyu in the mirror frowned and said: "Fourth brother, please stop making trouble. You messed up my good makeup and I have to wash my face again."

Li Weijian sighed, put down the indigo and said: "I'll practice later. I can't miss out on the fun of thrush in the boudoir."

Daiyu said angrily: "That's all. Fourth brother promised not to bother anyone yesterday. He did sleep peacefully at night, but he got up early and acted strangely again!"

Li Weijian laughed loudly and was about to say something funny when he heard Xue Yan outside: "Master, Sister-in-law Qian Xue is here."

Li Weijian and Dai Yu looked at each other, and then walked into the hall with their hands behind their hands. Na Qianxue Yingying said: "Master, there is a message from the front, saying that the Ding brothers have something to say back."

Li Weijian agreed and immediately left the East Road Courtyard and went to the study.

The Ding brothers had been waiting here for a long time. They greeted Li Weijian politely and sat down and said, "Sir, the Wang brothers were captured by the censor patrolling the city in the middle of the night."

"Oh?" Li Weijian asked curiously: "Did you commit a crime?"

Ding Rufeng said: "The Wang brothers found a secret door and invited my sister and daughter to have fun. The brothers who were watching outside said they were entertaining Mr. Lian from the Rong Mansion. Mr. Lian took the first step behind, and within half an hour he patrolled the city to lead the censor. Everyone was blocked."

Li Weijian immediately laughed and said: "The law of heaven is clear, retribution is not good."

He hadn't started yet this time, but he didn't expect that these two things would fall into the hands of the censor patrolling the city. The newly promoted censor who patrolled the city was the most selfless. It was expected that the two brothers would not be able to eat this time and had to go around.

Ding Rusong smiled and said, "I heard that many noble children were arrested yesterday, including the in-laws of Prince Zhongshun."

Li Weijian secretly thought that if it were just these two people, they would definitely be in trouble. But there are too many noble disciples arrested this time, and I'm afraid the law will not punish them all. After thinking for a long time, Li Weijian waved Ding Rusong up and down, and gave some instructions in a low voice. Ding Rusong immediately understood and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir, the suffering master went to Shuntian Mansion a few days ago to cause trouble. As long as someone can show him the way, he must be the one." People are losing their skin!”

After careful calculation, the mother-in-law came to remind her that grandma had already packed everything and asked when Li Weijian was leaving. Li Weijian then sent Shiran to the East Road Courtyard, and immediately led the maid and mother-in-law with Daiyu. When I came out, I didn't go through the main entrance and went straight from Huifang Garden to Rongfu.

At this time, the east corner door was open, and Tan Chun was seen from a distance leading several maids and women in the garden to greet them. When he caught a glimpse of the two of them, he waved to them: "Brother Jian, Sister Lin!"

The couple smiled and waved in response. When they got closer, Tanchun smiled and said congratulations: "I haven't congratulated Fourth Brother Jian and Sister Lin yet. I wish you two a happy marriage and a long life together."

Li Weijian smiled and shook his sleeves, and took out a red envelope: "I'm borrowing my third sister's good words, come on, come on, take the red envelope."

Tan Chun said in surprise: "Congratulations and a red envelope?"

"So happy."

Daiyu glanced at several maids and wives, then looked at Tanchun and said, "Fourth brother, look at Tanchun. She looks so majestic, but she looks like a housekeeper."

Tanchun said with a smile: "Sister Lin, please stop teasing me. I have so many worries today, and I don't want to worry about this family anymore. Apart from that, the old lady has been waiting all morning. Fourth brother Jian, sister Lin, let's hurry up." Take two steps.”

Now Tanchun leads the way, and a group of people are waiting to go inside. As a result, before turning around the stone wall, someone on the left called out: "Lin——"

Li Weijian and Daiyu turned around to observe, and saw Baoyu and Miaoyu stopping in the octagonal pavilion. Baoyu reached out his hand excitedly, and the joy on his face suddenly turned into difficulty. He gritted his teeth and stood there for a while, not knowing how to end it.

Daiyu glanced at him and said to Li Weijian, "It's Brother Bao."

Li Weijian shouted from a distance: "Brother Bao is also at home?"

Baoyu didn't know how to reply, so Miaoyu clasped her palms together and said, "Amitabha, I'm going back to Uncle Li. It coincides with the national mourning. Jintai Academy will be closed for a month and will not reopen until next month."

Li Weijian smiled and said, "That's it. Brother Bao, let's go shopping while Sister Lin and I go to see the old lady first."

Daiyu on the side nodded slightly, said nothing, and continued to move forward with Li Weijian.

In the Octagonal Pavilion, Baoyu, who had come back to his senses, suddenly had red eyes and muttered: "Sister Lin is also married..."

Miaoyu looked at Baoyu's expression and saw that he was not in his right mind. He immediately frowned and said, "A woman will get married sooner or later."

Baoyu turned to look at Miaoyu and said, "You want to get married too?"

Miaoyu didn't respond, but looked at Baoyu angrily. After a long while, seeing Baoyu still confused, he immediately walked away and said, "I'm tired today, please come back!"

When Baoyu saw Miaoyu returning to Cuicui'an, he suddenly became more and more sad and couldn't help but shed tears.

But he said that the group of people entered the backyard through the hall, and then went around to the Rongqing Hall. The eldest maid Yuanyang smiled and announced the good news to Jia Mu: "Old lady, Miss Lin and Fourth Master Jian are here."

Jia Mu said "Okay", she couldn't help but sit upright and stretched her neck to look around. She saw the young couple coming in from a distance. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and the granddaughter looked even more beautiful.

Their eyes crossed. Not only Daiyu's, but also Jia Mu's eyes were red. Li Weijian let go of his hand, and Daiyu hurriedly took a few steps and threw herself into Jia Mu's arms: "Grandma!"

"Hey, okay, my Yu'er is back, she's back."

Li Weijian stopped in the hall, smiling and watching his grandfather and grandson hug each other and cry. The mandarin duck on the side was very eye-catching, and hurriedly came over quietly and said: "Fourth Master is not an outsider, please take a seat."

"Yeah." Li Weijian responded, and immediately looked at each other.

Perhaps he was old enough and knew where he was going in the future, so Yuanyang immediately blushed at this exchange of glances. Tanchun, who came with him, was secretly amazed and wondered when Yuanyang had developed feelings for Fourth Brother Jian?

Li Weijian sat down for a long time, and the grandfather and grandson just separated. Jia Mu gently pushed Daiyu away, looked up and down and praised her: "Yu'er looks more and more breathless, good, I feel relieved." ”

Daiyu wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, fourth brother... treats me very well."

Jia Mu kept holding on to Daiyu and refused to let go. Daiyu came to her senses at this moment, thinking that Li Weijian was still down there, so she took her hands away and said with a smile, "Grandma, fourth brother is still down here."

Jia Mu then turned around and let go, and saw Daiyu wiping her tears and approaching Li Weijian. They both stood up and saluted to Jia Mu, and then sat down after receiving Jia Mu's instructions.

Mother Jia patiently asked Li Weijian about his situation in the past few days, and then asked Liang and Liu, and then said, "I heard this morning that Brother Jian got a daughter?"

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Thanks to the old lady, Qiu Fang gave birth to a daughter last night. She weighs six pounds and two taels, and she is safe."

Jia Mu then smiled and said: "That's good. Your aunt has always said that your tribe is thin. It doesn't matter if the first one is a girl. If you have one, you can pull the ones behind. In the future, Your family will surely be prosperous."

Li Weijian thanked Jia Mu, glanced around, and saw that Li Wan and Wang Xifeng were not there, so he knew that Jia Mu would leave Daiyu behind to question him privately. So he asked, "Why don't you see your eldest sister and second sister-in-law?"

Tanchun then said: "Sister-in-law has found a maid for Brother Lan and is currently dealing with it. Sister Feng is inconvenient, so the old lady is exempt from the rules."

Li Weijian said: "Coincidentally, I have some business matters to discuss with my second sister-in-law. Old lady, I will ask Sister Lin to talk to the old lady. I will go and talk to my second sister-in-law for a few words and then return."

"Okay, brother Jian, just go and leave."

Li Weijian reached out and shook Daiyu's weak, boneless hand. Then he stood up and bowed, and was escorted out by the maid Yuanyang.

There was no one else inside, so Jia Mu called Daiyu to sit on the soft couch together, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Jian really treats you well?"

Daiyu thought about the past few days and said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, my fourth brother treated me very well. Although it was not easy to consummate the marriage, he always watched over me at night. Yesterday I pushed him to find someone else, and I didn't want to find him again at night. come over."

Jia Mu smiled and said: "That's good... This man shouldn't be too restrained. Brother Jian is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is young and strong now. It's not easy for Yu'er to consummate the marriage, Zi Juan and Xueyan are old enough. I think it’s better to take them as maids to the common room, so that they can have a bright future later.”

When Zijuan and Xueyan said this, their faces immediately turned red, and they were secretly happy. The old lady and the girl both said so, and Fourth Master Jian wouldn't refuse if he came.

Daiyu then said: "I told Fourth Brother, but he refused for a while."

Jia Mu said with a smile: "How can a man like this not steal something? Brother Jian has always kept close to him the colorful ones at a young age. He was also worried about Yu'er before he came across the door, so he kept guard. The Li family We don’t have a large population, and we don’t have a tricky mother-in-law. The only thing is that you have a temperament... It’s not easy for you to get into trouble with Brother Jian in the future.”

"Grandma..." Daiyu suddenly became dissatisfied.

Jia Mu said sternly: "I'm not joking with you, old lady... Feng Yatou is too strong and restricts Lian'er too much. Now that Lian'er has inherited the title, she has turned her head away and doesn't know how to hang out outside. , but I had a lot of trouble with Feng Yatou."

Daiyu nodded and said with a smile: "Grandma, I know."

"It's good to know," Jia Mu suddenly looked at the maid Hu Hue again: "Go and get that thing."
