Ping'er rested at Li Kun's place for the night, and Sister Feng only followed Jia's mother. Jia Lian went back to the room at night, it was cold and lonely, and it was not easy to scream, so he only slept indiscriminately all night. When I woke up the next day, I remembered what happened yesterday, and I blamed it for being uninteresting, and I regretted it.

Mrs. Xing was worried that Jia Lian was drunk yesterday, so she came over early in the morning and asked Jia Lian to come over to Jia's mother's side. Jia Lian had to come patiently and knelt down in front of Jia's mother. Jia Mu asked him, "What's the matter?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Yesterday I drank too much wine, which alarmed the old lady's driving, and today I came to confess." ”

Jia Mu chirped: "Dirty things, you poured too much yellow soup, restlessly went to sleep, and beat up your wife! Feng girl talks all day long, like a person like an overlord, she was scared and pitiful yesterday." What would have happened if it hadn't been for me, and you'd have hurt her life?"

Jia Lian was aggrieved and didn't dare to argue, so he had to apologize and admit it. Jia Mu said again: "Feng girl and Ping'er are a beautiful embryo? Are you still not satisfied? Stealing chickens and dogs all day long, dirty and smelly, they have all dragged you into the house." For that slut to beat his wife, and beat the people in the house, you are still from everyone's son-in-law, and you beat your mouth alive. If you have me in your eyes, you get up, and I will spare you, and you obediently make amends to your daughter-in-law, and pull her home, and I will like it. Otherwise, you just have to go out, and I won't dare to accept your kneeling. ”

When Jia Lian heard this, she saw Sister Feng standing there, without makeup, crying with swollen eyes, and without applying fat powder, her yellow face felt pitiful and cute more than usual. Thinking: "It's better to pay for each other, and please the old lady." ”

smiled and said, "I didn't dare to disobey the old lady's words, but I just indulged her." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Nonsense! I know that she is the most polite, and she will never bump into people again." If she offends you in the future, I will naturally be the master, and I will make you surrender. ”

Jia Lian listened, got up, and made a gesture to Sister Feng: "It was originally mine, no, the second grandmother will spare me." ”

The people in the house laughed, and Jia Mu smiled: "Feng girl, don't be annoyed, I'll be annoyed if I am annoyed again." ”

He ordered someone to call Ping'er again, and ordered Sister Feng and Jia Lian to comfort Ping'er. When Jia Lian saw Ping'er, he couldn't care more and more, the so-called wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing, as soon as she heard Jia's mother, she said: "The girl was aggrieved yesterday, it's all mine." Grandma offended you, and it was also because of me. I don't count if I lose, but I also pay for your grandmother. As he spoke, he also made a gesture, causing Mother Jia to laugh, and Sister Feng also laughed.

Mother Jia ordered Sister Feng to comfort her, and Ping'er hurriedly came up and kowtowed to Sister Feng: "Grandma's Qianqiu, I made Grandma angry, I deserve to die." ”

Sister Feng regretted that she drank too much wine yesterday, didn't remember her usual feelings, became impetuous, listened to the words of others, and gave Ping'er no face for no reason. Seeing her like this today, I was ashamed and sad, and I was busy pulling her up and crying.

Ping'er said: "I have served my grandmother for so many years, and I have never touched a fingernail. Even if he beat me yesterday, I don't blame my grandmother, it's all caused by that slut, and I can't complain that my grandmother is angry. As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Jia's mother ordered someone to send the three of them back to the room: "If one more person mentions this matter, come and report it to me immediately, I don't care who it is, give him a beating with a stick." The three of them kowtowed to Mrs. Jia, Xing, and Wang again.

When she returned to the room, Sister Feng saw that there was no one around, so she said, "How can I look like Hades and Yaksha? A thousand days are not good, and one day is good, poor me, I am not even as good as a slut, what face do I have to live this day?" said and cried again.

Jia Lian said: "You are still not satisfied? Think about it carefully, who was it yesterday? Today, in front of so many people, I still knelt down, and you made a loss, and you also fought for everything." It's going to be nagging, do you still want me to kneel for you? It's not a good thing to be too strong. ”

Sister Feng was speechless, and Ping'er sneered and laughed again. Jia Lian also smiled: "It's reconciled again! ”

As he was talking, he saw a daughter-in-law come back and say, "Bao's second daughter-in-law hanged herself." ”

Jia Lian and Sister Feng were taken aback. Sister Feng hurriedly put away her timidity, and shouted: "It's just dead, what's the fuss?"

For a while, I saw Lin Zhixiao come in and whispered to Sister Feng: "Bao's second daughter-in-law hanged herself, and her mother's relatives are going to file a lawsuit." ”

Sister Feng smiled: "That's good, I'm about to go to court!"

Lin Zhixiao: "I just persuaded them with everyone, threatened them for a while, and promised to give them a few dollars, so I agreed." ”

Sister Feng said: "I don't have any money! I don't give him any money, so I just ask him to sue." Don't persuade him, don't frighten him, let him sue. If you can't tell him, ask him to blackmail him with a corpse!"

Lin Zhixiao was in a dilemma, and when he saw Jia Lian glaring at him, he understood in his heart, so he went out and waited. Jia Lian said, "I'll go out and take a look, see what's going on?"

Sister Feng: "Don't give him money." ”

Jia Lian came out to discuss with Lin Zhixiao and promised to send two hundred taels of silver. Jia Liansheng was afraid that there would be a change, so he ordered someone to talk to Wang Ziteng, and called a few servants to help with the funeral. When those people saw this, they didn't dare to argue even if they wanted to, so they could only swallow their anger. Jia Lian also ordered Lin Zhixiao to put the 200 silver into the annual account and make up for the expenses in the past. First give Bao Er some silver taels, comfort him and say, "I'll pick a good daughter-in-law for you another day." "Bao Er has dignity and silver, why not rely on it.

Lin Daiyu will cough every year after the spring and autumn equinoxes, and this year she met Jia's mother happily and played twice, but she was overworked, and recently she coughed again, and felt more serious than usual, so she always didn't go out, and only recuperated in her own room. Sometimes when she was bored, she looked forward to a sister to talk about some gossip and time to spare, and Baochai and others came to see her, and after saying three or five words, she felt bored again. Everyone understands her for her illness, and her body is delicate, and she can't help some grievances, so she doesn't receive her well, her etiquette is vulgar, and she can't bear to be harsh.

On this day, Baochai came to visit her, and Baochai said: "Although the doctors who have gone here are all fine, but you can't take their medicine to see if you take any more results, wouldn't it be better to invite another clever person to take a look, wouldn't it be better to be cured? ”

Daiyu said: "It's useless." I knew I wasn't going to get better. Let's not talk about illness, just talk about what kind of picture I am like on a good day, and you can know. ”

Baochai nodded: "The ancients said that those who eat grain are born, and it is not a good thing that what you eat on weekdays cannot nourish your spiritual qi and blood." ”

Daiyu sighed: "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, and it is not something that can be forced by manpower." This year is heavier than in previous years. "Between words, I have coughed two or three times.

Baochai said: "Yesterday, I looked at your prescription, and I felt that there were too many ginseng and cinnamon. Although it is said to nourish qi and replenish the spirit, it should not be too hot. According to me, the first thing to do is to calm the liver and strengthen the stomach, the liver fire is flat, the soil cannot be suppressed, the stomach qi is not diseased, and the diet can support people. Get up early every day, take a tael of high-quality bird's nest, five coins of rock sugar, and boil porridge with silver chozi, if you are used to eating, it is stronger than medicine, and it can nourish yin and replenish qi the most. ”

Daiyu sighed: "You treat people very well on weekdays, but I am a multi-minded person, only if you have treachery hidden in your heart." In the past, you said that it was not good to read miscellaneous books, and you persuaded me to say those kind words, and I was greatly grateful to you. In the past, I was wrong, and I am really wrong. When I think about it, my mother died young, and I have no brothers or sisters, and I am eighteen years old this year, and there is no one to teach me like yours. I can't complain that the cloud girl said hello, I saw her praise you in the past, I still don't use it, I experienced it myself yesterday, and I only knew. ”

"For example, when you said that, I will not let you go lightly, and you don't mind, and persuade me to say those words, but I know that I am wrong. If I hadn't seen it the day before yesterday, I would never have said this to you again. You just said that if you asked me to eat bird's nest porridge, although bird's nest is easy to get, it doesn't matter if I have this disease every year because I am not in good health. Please doctor, boil medicine, ginseng, cinnamon, it has been turned upside down, what kind of bird's nest porridge will be boiled, the old lady, Mrs., Sister Feng These three people have nothing to say, those mothers-in-law and girls at the bottom, they can't help but think I have too many things. ”

"Look at these people here, because I saw that the old lady hurt Baoyu and Feng Yatou too much, they are still looking at me and talking behind their backs, let alone me? Besides, I am not their official master here, I originally came here without support, and they already hate me. Now that I don't know where to go or what to do, why should I ask them to curse me?"

Baochai: "When you say so, I'm just like you." ”

Daiyu: "How do you compare to me? You have a mother and a brother, and there is land for buying and selling here, and the family still has a house and land." You are just a relative, living here for nothing, all big and small things, and not touching them a penny, if you want to leave, you will leave. I have nothing, food and clothing, grass and paper, all the same as the girls in their family, that is how much the villain dislikes. ”

Baochai smiled: "I won't spend too much money on a dowry in the future, and I can't worry about it now." ”

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help blushing and said with a smile: "People treat you as a serious person and tell you about the difficulties in your heart, but you make fun of me instead." ”

Baochai smiled: "Although it is a joke, it is also the truth." Don't worry, I'll be here for a day, and I'll have fun with you for a day. If you have any grievances or difficulties, just tell me, I can solve them, and I will naturally solve them for you for a day. Although I have an older brother, you also know that only one mother is slightly stronger than you. We are also kind of kindred spirits. ”

"You are also an understanding person, why do you want to sigh Sima Niu? You just said that it is better to save more things than to save one thing. I'm going to talk to my mother tomorrow, I'm afraid we still have it at home, I'll send you a few taels, and call the girls to boil it every day, it's cheap, and it's not laborious. ”

Daiyu hurriedly smiled: "Things are small, it's rare for you to be so affectionate." ”

Bao Chai said: "What is this in my mouth! I'm afraid you'll get bored, so I'll go back. ”

Daiyu: "Come back in the evening and have a word with me." Baochai agreed and went back.

Daiyu drank two mouthfuls of gruel, still crooked on the bed, but before the sun set, the sky changed, and it began to rain. The veins of autumn rain, cloudy and uncertain, gradually dusk, and cloudy and dark, and the raindrops and bamboo tops, feel even more desolate. Daiyu couldn't help but feel something, and sent it in the chapter.

The autumn flowers are bleak, the autumn grass is yellow, and the autumn lights are long in the autumn night. I have felt that the autumn window is endless, and the wind and rain help the desolation! Help the autumn wind and rain to come at a certain speed! Break the autumn window and autumn dream green. I couldn't bear to sleep with my autumn feelings, and I moved tears and candles to the autumn screen. The tears and candles are shaking and swaying, and the sorrow and hatred are moving. Whose autumn courtyard has no wind to enter? Where is there no sound of rain in the autumn window? Luo Ji is reluctant to resist the autumn wind, and the residual sound of leakage urges the autumn rain to be urgent. The veins were fluttering all night, and it seemed to be accompanied by crying in front of the lamp. The cold smoke courtyard turned depressed, and the bamboo and empty windows dripped. I don't know when the wind and rain will stop, and I have taught tears to sprinkle the window screen wet.
