Jia Jing grinned, saying that he was laughing, which was really painful, saying that he was crying, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he said, "Sister Lu, why, don't you call me daddy?"

In an instant, the sourness spread to the tip of his nose, moistening his eyes again, and Jia Lu shouted softly, "Daddy!"

In a family like theirs, the word "daddy" is too intimate, and it is very unsuitable for the authority of the master, that is, the word "father" is not very useful, and it does not show much respect, and a "adult" must be added to the end, in addition, the most shouted is "master".

Whether it is a girl or a son-in-law, they all call their father as their lord and their mother as their wife after they are sensible, only Jia Lu is an exception, and it is also unusual for his father to shout from childhood to teenage.

Jia Jing smiled bitterly, looked outside, he was really sick, except for Jia Lu who was close to him, he couldn't see anything else, and asked,

"Now, ahem, when is this?"

Jia Lu replied, "It's time, my father has been asleep for nine hours, and if I don't wake up, I'm going to ask my brother and sister-in-law to come back!"

Jia Lu held Jia Lu's dry and wrinkled hand tightly, the strength was so great that people who were intolerant of pain should have suffered a long time ago, but Jia Jing didn't react at all.

"How long have they been in the palace?" Jia Jing asked, holding back the itch in his throat.

"They have already sent the spirit out of the capital, and they will be able to return home in about ten days. ”

"That's it, cough cough, in that palace, cough, what happened, what happened in our house, cough cough cough!"

Jia Jing endured and endured, he couldn't bear the itch in his throat anymore, and coughed bitterly, the itch was missing, but the pain in his chest seemed to be breaking a big stone in his chest all the time.

Jia Lu patted and rubbed slowly with tears in her eyes, and said, "Daddy, you don't have to worry about this, it's all good inside and outside the palace, inside and outside the palace, there has never been anything wrong, you can recuperate with peace of mind!"

Jia Jing was half-lying on the soft pillow, and in the cloudy mind caused by the pain, a trace of clarity rarely flashed, which was a regret and fear.

He died once, he is not afraid of death, but God does not let him die easily, life makes him miserable, his body has always been considered strong, if he hadn't taken the wrong medicine in his previous life, he would not have died violently, and in this life, he pays more attention to maintenance, why is it painful and sick to this extent?

It's God punishing him!

He wanted to die, but he didn't dare to die, for fear that God would once again spill his anger against him on the juniors of the Jia family.

In this way, thinking about things, I gradually closed my eyelids.

Grandma Sun brought a bowl of warm medicine to dry, and when she saw Jia Jing falling asleep again, she looked at Jia Lu and asked, "Girl?"

Jia Lu turned her head, crying with tears on her face, but she didn't hear a sound.

Grandma Sun was so anxious that she almost screamed, and said softly but anxiously, "Girl, how are you?"

Jia Lu shook his head, slowed down, and said in a hoarse voice, "Take this medicine back, the old lady will be for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink it." ”

With that, he staggered out the door slightly.

The next day, Li Kun and Tanchun came to Ningguo Mansion together, thinking that the fourth sister came back to meet one or two, but unexpectedly, only Mama Li was waiting for them again, Mama Li accused,

"Please also ask the eldest grandmother and the third girl to atone for their sins, our girl is taking care of the old lady, and I don't have time to see the grandmother and the girl, but yesterday I heard that the grandmother and the girl were coming, and I personally ordered the side room to be cleaned up, so that the girl and the grandmother will come over!"

Li Kun helped Mama Li up and said, "We are not outsiders, we don't need to be so polite, the old lady's condition is critical, and in ten days, Sister-in-law Zhen will be back, we are just helping too much!"

Mama Li politely said twice, the matter was more urgent, so she didn't say much, and led the two of them to see the steward of Ning Mansion, which was also smooth.

The mothers of the Ning Mansion stewards originally looked down on the two foreign masters, but seeing that they were accompanied by Mama Li, they also knew that they had the support of their own girls behind them, coupled with the consistent strict management, their nature was much more docile than the subordinates of the Rong Mansion, but it was easier than managing things in their own family.

However, the two of them took care of it for five or six days, and then went back, Jia Zhen and others hurried back, because Jia Jing became more and more ill, and he never woke up all day long, even the imperial doctor couldn't say anything good, Jia Lu and Shen discussed, and they couldn't hold it anymore, so they could only disobey Jia Jing's will and send a letter to the suburbs, Jia Zhen and others didn't dare to delay, and came back in a hurry.

From the spring season in April to the summer in May, the whole family has never let go of their hearts and is uneasy.

May 30 is Jia Baoyu's birthday, Mrs. Wang is not at home on this day, and Jia Jing is seriously ill, so the clansmen go to Ningguo Mansion several times a day, and they don't remember Baoyu's birthday very much, and they are not more lively and festive than usual.

Even the old lady also said that Baoyu has been a little weaker over the years, and the children's families can't live their lives, so they are afraid that they will be blessed, and they will not be extended, so they will only send some gifts from all parties on the usual days.

The sisters just responded to the scene, sending some embroidery made by themselves, or fans, poems, etc., only Jia Lu was more formal, and sent a complete set of four treasures of the study, looking at the quite valuable appearance, at a glance, I knew that it was sent by others, and no one said anything about the trivial matters of her family.

In the early morning of the same day, after freshening up, the ancestors were sacrificed, and then went to the old lady, the lord, and the wife to say goodbye, and the sisters were a couple of days, it turned out that this day was not only Baoyu's birthday, but also Baoqin and Ping'er's birthday, and the elders in the family did not participate, nor did they set up wine, so they celebrated their little sisters' birthdays.

First of all, during the day, in the three small open halls in the peony bar, the sisters guessed and drank together, and Xiangyun was drunk and fell on the big stone on the side.

After a day of trouble, it was not enough to enjoy it, and in the evening, it did not stop, and attacked people, Qingwen, Musk Yue, Qiuwen, Shangfangguan, Bichen, Chunyan, and Si'er made up a few molecules, and asked her to prepare forty plates of fruit for Sister-in-law Liu in the small kitchen, and the eight of them wanted to make Baoyu a birthday.

The mother-in-law of Lin Zhixiao's family, who had concealed the night patrol, invited Li Kun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Baoqin, Daiyu, Baochai and other masters and girls to come over, and they committed an accident together, but they were patrolled and did not get in the way.

Everyone threw dice and drank wine, and played until the second watch, Daiyu couldn't hold it first, so she was going back, Tanchun and the others should be like this, but Baoyu and the girl in her yard were not happy, and they played until the third watch, and they were so confused that they didn't know when they fell asleep.

The next day, the sky was bright, and Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly entered the garden, and assigned it to the girls and daughters-in-law behind him, saying,

"You, go to the second girl, hurry up!"

"You, go to the third girl! At this time, I'm afraid that when the third girl and the eldest grandmother are the council, go to the council hall and invite them all over, and don't forget, make someone call Brother Lan!"

"You guys, go and call Brother Huan over!"

Then he said to the remaining two mothers-in-law, "Let's go to Yihong Courtyard and call Second Master Bao!"
