Today is Jia Jing's birthday, because of the white things in the house, it is inconvenient to do it wantonly, and Jia Jing himself went to Guanzhong early, saying that he has been practicing for a long time, and there is no need to disturb such mundane things. Jia Zhen Youxiao only dragged a few brothers of the Ningfu clan to the Maozhi to respond to the guests.

Mrs. Zhu also only invited relatives and friends, Jia's mother said that she was not very good, Mrs. Zhang could not be filial piety, and only Mrs. Wang took care of one or two in the past.

Ningguo Mansion is not in the mansion today, and the family banquet is very sloppy, and when the banquet is dispersed, Mrs. Zhu left Mrs. Wang alone to sit for a while.

"I'm also a young blessing, and I thought I could live a comfortable life for a few days. I don't know that this troublesome thing is one after another. Mrs. Zhu pinched the handkerchief and said, "Now that this Brother Rong is still young, I can't let go of my hands......"

"Brother Rong looks sensible, so he shouldn't be too bothered. Mrs. Wang was relieved on the side, this family is big, and there are naturally many troubles. I don't still have a mess of things in my heart.

"Brother Rong is quite easy to handle. I'm afraid Zhen'er will be too sad. Mrs. Zhu paused and said, "Alas, this daughter-in-law is really good, she looks good and has a good temperament......"

Mrs. Wang thought in her heart, she didn't feel how sad Jia Zhen was when she mourned, and she just looked at it lightly, it was only a few days, and she didn't go back to the army again. A few days ago, my brother wrote to me that this Jia Zhen was also cold-hearted, and I didn't see how sad this person was. But he couldn't say it in his mouth, and he nodded his head in agreement.

Seeing that she was like this, Mrs. Zhu didn't say much, so she put the conversation away: "Let's go, it's rare for my brother and sister to come here." Why should I say these bad things again and let you shed tears with me. Mrs. Zhu put away the handkerchief and said, "Thinking of the eldest sister to be chosen, it should be well prepared now." ”

This sentence struck Mrs. Wang's heart. Now, it has cost a lot of silver taels just to prepare. Two days ago, I took some of the finished heads, clothes, and purchased utensils to Jia's mother for a look, and found some mistakes. It is necessary to redo and modify, and it will cost a lot to come and go. But this matter can't be shared with outsiders, and today's question from Mrs. Zhu aroused Mrs. Wang's troubles again.

"I've been through a few things, but I didn't expect this matter to be so complicated. The money was also spent. Mrs. Wang felt a little distressed when she mentioned the silver taels spent, this is not how it is, if she chooses, I am afraid that the cost will be even worse.

Hearing Mrs. Wang say this, Mrs. Zhu smiled and said: "You are also for the future of Yuanchun, if the eldest sister has a new life in the future, this is not a blessing for the Jia family? Moreover, now Rongguo Mansion is extraordinary, and it is not easy to make money. ”

"Gongzhong?" sighed Madame Wang, "it would be nice if that was the case." Nowadays, this hairpin and the ring are not spent in the public. ”

This time, it was Mrs. Zhu's turn to be surprised: "Why is this happening? The old lady feels so sorry for the eldest sister, I thought that the old lady would take care of this matter herself!"

"Alas, it is precisely because of this that the old lady is used to pampering on weekdays, and now as soon as she hears that she is going to be elected, she will take people to live with her. Mrs. Wang sighed: "You also know the old lady's temperament. If the old man doesn't let go, no one will have a problem. ”

Mrs. Zhu heard what she said, if this is the case, it should be that the old lady doesn't like it, so she can't go to the public for all the expenses in this matter. Otherwise, if it is based on the old lady's strength to favor Yuanchun, I am afraid that her dowry box will be opened to recognize her selection. But this kind of thing is a good thing, and Jia Mu shouldn't be like this. I'm afraid that this Mrs. Wang will turn a good thing into a bad thing! Although it costs a lot to be elected, if it is Tengda in the future, what kind of glory will it be. Mrs. Zhu beckoned, and the little maid on the side came over with a box.

"These are just a few pieces of head jewelry, and if you come here today, you won't need me to send them again. You can take it for the eldest sister. "Say goodbye, and the maid will open the box.

Mrs. Wang took a closer look, and she was all good, and she thanked her repeatedly. sighed in my heart that this Mrs. Zhu still understands etiquette. However, Mrs. Wang didn't know that Mrs. Zhang had prepared her head jewelry early when she heard about it, but Jia Yu and Jia Zheng were angry at that time, and it was inconvenient for them to send it to Mrs. Wang, so they put it at Jia's mother's place. Mother Jia should also have a reward, anyway, when the time comes, it will be given together.

Mrs. Zhu saw that Mrs. Wang's face was a little happy and said: "Now this pearl should be quite accomplished, and I am afraid that I will have to go to high school again in the autumn exam next year." You just wait for the good news. ”

"If this is the case, then I will borrow your good words first. Mrs. Wang was naturally overjoyed when she heard this, "Zhu'er is also diligent, and she has been praised by her master in the past few days, saying that the article is well done." said that he would go to visit a famous man in a few days, and I heard that he had served as the wine supervisor of the country. ”

"This pearl is the breath. You also have a good hope. In the coming day, he will marry a wife, and two hugs in three years are just around the corner. ”

"Look at what you're talking about, it's as if it's really right in front of you. The two of them gossiped again, and then they dispersed. When Mrs. Wang returned to the hospital, a maid came to report that it was the Xue family who sent a letter. Mrs. Wang listened and asked people to bring people in.

This time to send the letter is not the old person, Mrs. Wang asked slightly, the person replied a little perfunctory, Mrs. Wang felt that something was wrong, so she let him go down, only unfolded the letter. I was shocked when I saw it, and I said in my heart that my sister-in-law is now suffering from a serious disease, and I have hired a lot of doctors, and I have taken a lot of medicine but there is no big improvement, and now I am getting thinner. I wrote to ask if there are any good recommendations for this famous doctor in Beijing, or if there is a cure for such a disease.

Mrs. Wang covered up the letter, and she was also worried. This capital is thousands of miles away from Jinling, even if a famous doctor can be found, who would be willing to go alone? Besides, if you don't see a patient, how can a good doctor prescribe a prescription after hearing a disease? Thinking about it, this girl is also anxious and confused. But he couldn't sit idly by, so he had to ask someone to find a doctor and ask for a prescription according to what the letter said. He also prepared some medicinal herbs for himself and ordered them to be sent. After waiting for another month, the Xue family said a little bit more, looking for an overseas party, spending a lot, although it is not all good, but it is no longer aggravated, let it be raised first, and then look at it slowly. Mrs. Wang saw it and sighed for a while, but she had to do it. The Xue family is a businessman, valuing profit over righteousness, but the main family is sick, and everyone can be like this, if they die of illness one day, how can they have a good life if they leave orphans and widows? But now they have no heart to take care of others, so they have to do this.

Two flowers bloom, one on each table. Shi Fei'er was debunked by General Shi Lao in the Shi Mansion, and naturally he couldn't discuss the matter with others after returning to the mansion. I thought hard for a long time and wanted to offer Fang Shuzi, but after discussing for a long time, I didn't have a suitable person.

I thought of a way to remedy it, but if it is successful, it also needs a premise, and it depends on whether there is an opportunity. After worrying for a few days, Shi Fei'er also asked the egret and oriole outside to pay attention, and if he heard any discussion about Jiafu, he would let people come to the mansion to inform him. The two of them also responded, thinking that the old lady was now old and experienced the incident of the Zhenguo family, plus the past few months have not been peaceful, and the thinking is even heavier, the two of them persuaded again.

It's just that Shifu, as usual, didn't make any movement, and was busy with funerals. There was no rumor of it, and General Shi Lao did not go to the mansion or send someone to invite him over again. Shi Fei'er stayed up in this waiting and restlessness.

"Old lady, do you see any of these books?"

On this day, Jia Yu came with five or six small servants, each holding a few books in his hand, and when he entered the house, he put all the books on the table, and the table was full of pawnshops.

When Shi Fei'er saw it, she hurriedly walked up to take a look, and took a closer look at the title of a book.

It's really called anything, what "Persona of Officialdom", what "Persona of Pingxi"...... There is just no "Persona at Sea".

Shi Fei'er picked up a copy casually and flipped through it: "But it's hard work, and I have worked hard to find so many." I'm afraid I'm going to run a lot of study, right?"

"Old lady, this little thing is fine. But if there are none of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find them. Jia Yu looked at Jia's mother expectantly, "Although it can't be said that the study in the capital has been run all over, it shouldn't miss a few." ”

Shi Fei'er nodded, rummaged through the book again, picked out a thin copy of "Strange Stories from the Frontier" and frowned: "Xu is this one? Look at this upside down. ”

"If there is, it would be good, but if not, I would make the old lady happy. Jia Yu was deeply pleased.

"It's even more troublesome, and I thank the grandchildren first. Shi Fei'er said, closed the book in his hand and patted it, looked at the book on the table and said, "It's a pity that there are so many." ”

"Let's have fun with the old lady. It's just a few books. I also flipped through it, and some of the recorded things are quite interesting. ”

"That's fine, I'll take it all. Shi Fei'er nodded.

At night, Shi Fei'er played the maid early and went to rest by herself, sitting alone at the table. On the table were two books, the "Persona of the Sea" and the other books recorded in the dowry list.

Why do you still have to let people find books when they have them? Shi Fei'er was also inspired by the repeated tossing and turning of the true and false of the Shu Su post because of the last time Jia Yu ate the lawsuit.

When she looked at the dowry list that day, Shi Fei'er thought that if this book was a unique book, wouldn't it be up to her to decide how to record it in the contents! But the market doesn't dare to guarantee it, so I made Jia Yu look for the book, since I can't find it in Beijing, it doesn't hurt to have it elsewhere, anyway, I only plan to make an annotated version. The recipes for gargling and lipstick are briefly recorded in that book. In this way, if there is a real confrontation, I am not afraid of Z

While Shi Fei'er was doing this, she remembered the fat batch of the Red Mansion in Fat Yan Zhai. I secretly thought to myself that it would be interesting if this book was passed on to future generations.
