The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 137 Family Doesn't Divide Jia Jing's Funeral Day (Part [-])
"Ma'am, is it true what the second elder brother just said?" Tanchun wiped away tears and asked Wang with red eyes.

"Which sentence?"

"Is it really Eldest Sister Xing that the empress first chose?" Tanchun asked unwillingly: "Perhaps the Xing family used some method to make the empress change her mind. If we can find out a little bit about my daughter. "

Jia Baoyu's heart moved, and he hurriedly echoed: "Extremely! Extremely! The eldest sister of the Xing family is always smart. I heard that the tone of King Beijing was not without praise. The prince said that the queen almost set the two of Ouyang's family together. Miss or one of the big sisters of the Xing family, how could the queen change her mind after a long time. If there is no operation of the Xing family, I don't believe it anymore!"

Tanchun's eyes shone brightly, and he knelt on Ba Bu's bed with his head up, beggingly looking at Mrs. Wang: "Madam, let's invite the big sister of the Xing family to come here! Whatever the result, it's better to make my daughter give up. "

Mrs. Wang was in a dilemma: "The Xing family dared to go against the queen once. Even if it was true what Baoyu said, it would be opportunistic and dangerous. Would the Xing family be willing to take another risk for you?"

Jia Baoyu immediately jumped up: "As long as the wife agrees, the son will invite the eldest sister of the Xing family. The elder sister of the Xing family is easy to talk, and she has a blind date with younger sister Lin, and the third younger sister is not an outsider. I will go to Fengwei Hutong with younger sister Lin, can it be Are you afraid you won't be able to invite her?"

Mrs. Wang was most afraid that Jia Baoyu would play with Lin Daiyu again. These days, Miss Lin didn't talk about going back to Xing's house, but just played in the Grand View Garden every day, and Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable.Now hearing Baoyu claiming to go to Xing's house with Lin Daiyu, I feel even more annoyed in my heart.

Mrs. Wang, who never got angry with Jia Baoyu easily, immediately turned cold, "From now on, you should stop inquiring about these gossips in the harem with King Beijing. If you want to, why don't you give your eldest sister more credit."

Jia Baoyu is just a child who has not grown up. When Mrs. Wang scolded him, Baoyu rebutted without hesitation: "How can Big Sister worry about me? Even if the sky falls today, Big Sister will support us."

Mrs. Wang's head buzzed, hearing such bastard words, she just felt that she had raised Jia Baoyu for decades!Just like his father, he doesn't distinguish between concubine and concubine, he treats a girl born by his aunt as a baby, and is so indifferent to his own sister.

Tanchun got a little typhoid fever, so he rushed to ask about his health. His poor Yuanchun was already dying of illness, and Baoyu didn't even ask.

Thinking of her eldest son Jia Zhu who died, Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling sad.
"Ma'am, don't be sad. The second elder brother is talking nonsense. Among us brothers and sisters, who can have a stronger relationship with the eldest sister than the second elder brother? Now the second elder brother has a good job and often walks around in the palace." Big sister will be happy to see you." Tanchun quickly comforted Wang.

Mrs. Wang choked up and said: "It's the silly words that hurt people the most. I used to always want to hide it from you, lest you be afraid, but now that it's about this, what's the point of me hiding it? He was seriously ill, good times and bad times, and now even the imperial physicians say that it is just to continue his life with medicine, and it is not known how long he can survive. Third girl, ask yourself, when your mother is at home, although she treats Baoyu very well, why not treat Baoyu badly? past you?"

Tanchun bowed his head sadly, not knowing how to respond.

When Sister Yuan Chun entered the palace, she was still young, but she vaguely remembered some things.Not only did the elder sister never treat her badly, but she also insisted that she ask the wife to put her under her name.If she complained about her eldest sister in front of her wife and second brother against her conscience today, that would be really intolerable.

Seeing the embarrassment of the two sons and daughters, Mrs. Wang stopped talking, and then got up with the lingering anger.

"Ma'am." Baoyu and Tanchun called Wang Shi in low voices at the same time.

Wang didn't even turn around, turned her head and walked out of Qiushuangzhai.

Baoyu was listless and was about to complain to Tanchun, when they heard hurried footsteps in the yard, and the two couldn't help but turn their worries into joy.Baoyu hurriedly said, "Maybe the wife has changed her mind!"

Before finishing speaking, the veil on the door was lifted by the servant, but it was Qingwen who rushed in with a panicked expression: "Second master, something is wrong, you should go out of the garden quickly, the master has called someone to find And you!"

When Jia Baoyu heard this, his calf cramped and he staggered and fell down on Tanchun's bed.

The third girl was also pale, leaning on the edge of the bed with one hand: "What's going on, you should finish talking, don't scare the second brother."

"Third Miss, don't be upset, it's because I didn't say it carefully!" Qingwen laughed and said, "It's the funeral of the Eldest Master in Dongfu, and the two masters on our side are about to rush over. If so, tell Er Ye to pack up and follow him. Now that Xiren is looking for plain clothes, why don’t Er Ye go back and change into them?"

Baoyu and Tanchun were both stunned: "I never heard any news from Dongfu, why did it disappear all of a sudden? Don't you mishear the words and pass them on in confusion, right?"

Qingwen was dumbfounded: "Who dares to talk nonsense about such things, second master, follow me, lest it will be too late, the master will use you as a raft, and make those people watch the excitement so that you are not interesting!"

Tanchun blushed, knowing that Qingwen was alluding to Jia Huan.

Although Jia Huan was born by his aunt like her, but his wife treated her more closely, Jia Huan was not angry from time to time, and always liked to watch Baoyu make a fool of himself.Up and down in the Grand View Garden, no one likes Huan boy, even a little girl dares to talk back to Huan brother, Tanchun only hates him for not being up to date.

Now that Qingwen is ridiculing secretly like this, Tanchun feels even more headache.

Jia Baoyu glared at the confidant girl, Qingwen hurriedly covered the corners of her mouth, knowing that she had said something wrong.

"Third Girl" Qingwen wanted to accompany her, but Shi Shu had already stepped forward and grabbed Qingwen, whispering in her ear: "You go back first, and you only come back another day. Our girl is not that kind of girl." Petty people!"

Qingwen had no choice but to go out with Baoyu.

Once Jia Jing died, Youshi was like a fly without head or tail.Husband Jia Zhen took her son Jia Rong to Iron Net Mountain to hunt with Yongchang's consort and Leshan County King, and they said they would not return until half a month later.Youshi sent people to Iron Net Mountain to deliver the letter, and at the same time took a chariot and horse to Rongfu to discuss ideas with the old ancestor Jiamu.

"I just said that the words of those stinky Taoist priests are not trustworthy. What kind of Qi guidance technique is all told by our old man. Now that the person is gone, the old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple still wants to shirk responsibility, saying that it is our old man's cultivation. The fairy is gone, the old ancestor listens, these are all nonsense. I sent Lai Sheng to the Taoist temple to lock up those people, and then told him to invite a doctor to take a good look at the old man. The old ancestor knows how Lai Sheng returned? "

Youshi snotted and burst into tears: "Lai Sheng said, our old man's stomach is as hard as iron, and his skin and lips are burnt purple and crumpled. It is clear that he swallowed too much gold dust and died of burning."

Although Jia Jing is the elder of the East Mansion, he is only Jia Mu's nephew according to his seniority.Jia Mu sighed and said, "I always say that it is enough to have a Buddha and a fairy in your heart. Why bother to go to the Laoshizi place without your family and career! If your master is willing to listen to my advice, you don't have to go to where you are today." point."

Sitting behind Youshi, Xichun heard Jia Mu's words, and shed tears along with her.

Mother Jia waved to Xichun, and said softly, "Although your father is gone, your ancestor is still there. Fourth girl, just relax. If you have a mouthful of food from your ancestor, you won't be treated badly!"

Xichun threw herself into Jiamu's arms and wept bitterly, and the sound of sorrow filled the whole room.Everyone came up to persuade them, and it was hard to hear the mourning voices of the grandparents and grandchildren, so Mother Jia asked Youshi: "This kind of thing is disgraceful after all. You can't let your master enter the city anyway. The Xuanzhen view is narrow. It's better to send it to Tieshan Temple first, wrap it up, and treat each other later."

"The old lady is very true, and I think so too. It is really hot today, and I have already ordered the astronomer to choose the date of encoffining. Fortunately, the longevity tree was bought a few years ago, and it is stored in Xuanzhen Temple , but also cheap."

Although Jia's mother was still flustered, she did not make a big mistake, so she nodded, "Brother Zhen and Boy Rong are going out at this time, who will take care of the outside affairs?"

You Shi hurriedly smiled bitterly and said, "My niece and daughter-in-law are here to ask for a favor from our ancestors. Although our family has a few second-class stewards who can handle it, we are not at ease after all. Jia Fan, Jia Heng, and Jia Chang They are all brats and haven’t experienced major events, so I’m afraid they won’t make it.”

Mother Jia pondered for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Youshi salivated and said with a smile: "Nephew and daughter-in-law are thinking, after all, Second Uncle Lian is well-informed, let him come out to preside over affairs, firstly, it will make you face, and secondly, with him in charge, those who have bad intentions should also be weighed in their hearts." Weigh."

Everyone looked at Jia Mu's expression, but they didn't dare to talk.

Jia's mother sighed softly: "I'm afraid that brother Lian might not be willing to come if others go to invite him. At the beginning they left arguing, and his father said in front of the elders of the clan that from now on, brother Lian and his wife are not allowed to touch each other. There is little light in the house, and the Jia family doesn't need them to interfere in any major or minor matters. Now that they regret it in a blink of an eye, wouldn't it be a joke for the ancestors, old and young?"

You Shi hurriedly said: "I've already thought about this. If the ancestor agrees, I will invite him in person. Even if the second uncle comes, it is also a debt owed by the East Mansion. In the future, it will be our master or Brother Rong. Returning the son, this is something for later. No one in the clan dares to criticize the old ancestor even if the upper and lower are watching."

Jiamu thought about Youshi's words carefully, and it was reasonable.Then he nodded and smiled, and agreed to the matter.

You Shi was only half relieved, but unexpectedly the old lady asked again: "Brother Zhen won't come back for now, you go out of the city to take care of important affairs, who will take care of the inner courtyard?"

The corners of Youshi's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled at the old lady: "My stepmother lives in Guo County, one day away from the capital. Now I have sent someone to ask her to help take care of Dongfu. The two unmarried younger sisters, the older one is only nineteen this year, and the younger one is only seventeen, they have learned how to be a housekeeper from my mother for a few years, so they are not afraid of making mistakes."

Mother Jia intended to ask Youshi to invite Sister Feng back by the way, but she didn't expect that Youshi had already prepared to stop her mouth, and Mother Jia felt a little unhappy, but she didn't like it in front of the room full of people. When it was better, I had to ask Lai's family and Lin Zhixiao's family to invite Wang Xifeng back to the mansion in person.
