While writing and drawing on the paper, Xifeng instructed the steward Qian Li to find a few carpenters. She's going to do something.

Qian Li is Mama Qian's second son, and he is very neat in his errands, but he found someone in half an hour.

Xifeng took the sketch and communicated with the three carpenters, and when he saw that they all understood completely and had no objections, he asked Qian Li to arrange someone to buy the materials. Work started directly in the Zhuangzi.

"Go back and find a craftsman to expand the garden against the east wall and out of a field twenty zhang square." Xifeng said to Qian Li: "Only make the site and tamp it down." When you're done, send someone to tell me. After Xifeng arranged the errand, he told Qian Li to let the three carpenters and the little guys below pay attention to secrecy, and then went home.

In the past few days, the house has been quite calm, Xifeng and Jia Lian get up early every day, after a simple breakfast, Xifeng deals with affairs, and Jia Lian goes to the palace on an errand. Then Li Kun will stop by and ask Xifeng to go to Rongqing Hall to greet the old lady.

The old lady has not been in good spirits since she was beaten by Jia Zheng, but she is reluctant to be angry with Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng also seemed to feel a little sorry for the old mother, and sent Baoyu to ask the old lady for peace every day.

I don't know what method Jia Zheng used, Baoyu has been very honest recently. Maybe it's because Jin Chuan is by his side, and he is happy to read and write.

But the old lady was not at ease after all. I don't know when I asked Lai Pozi to bring a few more clever little girls.

This morning, Xifeng and Li Kun came together, and the old lady was looking at a few new little girls.

After saluting, the old lady beckoned to the two of them: "Come and take a look at these little girls who have just entered the house, all of them are more watery and more attractive." ”

The little girls were very clever, and hurriedly saluted Li Kun and Xifeng: "Say hello to the eldest grandmother, please say hello to the second grandmother." ”

Li Kun praised a sentence, but before Xifeng could speak, he heard the old lady say: "I am going to stay by my side for this older one." You don't know, these days, Yuan Yatou and Ying Yatou have been serving in front of me, and they have lost weight. "During the period when the old lady was angry, most of them were accompanied by Yuan Chun and Yingchun, and then Mrs. Xing came to serve in the morning and evening. She and Li Kun stood at the back.

At this time, hearing the old lady talk about Yuanchun and Yingchun, Xifeng suddenly realized: Baoyu has been taken out of Rongqing Hall, and Yingchun is still left to do what in Rongqing Hall!

The old lady didn't like Yingchun, and the reason why Yingchun was brought to Rongqing Hall was only because of Baoyu's sentence "Sisters come to live with the ancestors, and it is also more lively", so the old lady put Yingchun in Rongqing Hall. Now it's time to bring the spring back.

Li Kun was talking to the old lady on the side, Xifeng looked at it, and found that the old lady rubbed her forehead a little weakly, and she didn't seem to be very comfortable.

"Say hello to Grandmother."

Xifeng was thinking about how to leave Yingchun, Yuanchun came in, and Baoyu followed closely behind her.

Xifeng frowned: "Why don't you see the spring coming?" "Usually, Yingchun came with Yuanchun.

"The second sister is uncomfortable, I am about to go back to my grandmother to ask her doctor." Yuan Chun hurriedly answered.

Xifeng frowned again, it can't be that he is tired of serving the old lady during this time!

"Ancestor, I'll take a look at my sister." If you want to take Yuan Chun away from Rongqing Hall, you must first ventilate with her.

The old lady nodded, but didn't say much.

Xifeng took the maid and the maid to the spring house, the little girl was crooked on the couch, and when she saw Xifeng coming, she quickly got up and saluted.

"What's wrong?" Xifeng pulled her to sit beside her.

Yingchun was only next to her, but she didn't speak sullenly.

"Go down, and I'll have a few thoughtful words with the girl." Xifeng looked at Yingchun and didn't look like she was sick, but like she had something on her mind. However, for the sake of safety, Xifeng still asked Qing'er to go over to see if the old lady had asked someone to ask for a doctor, and if not, let Qing'er send someone to invite her.

After everyone went out, Xifeng smiled and touched Yingchun's little head: "Do you have anything on your mind, if you say it, my sister-in-law will help you think of a way." ”

Yingchun said "um", but there was no follow-up, only a finger back and forth, as if he was struggling with how to speak.

Xifeng likes to be entangled the most, which can be seen from her good martial arts. Immediately asked directly: "Someone bullied you?" ”

"Nope." Yingchun shook his head.

"That's the old ancestor who counted you?"

Yingchun still shook his head.

"Then you don't want to live here anymore and want to go back to our big house?" Xifeng's tone was very relaxed, and there was an indescribable attraction in Yingchun's ears.

This time she didn't speak again.

"If you really want to go back, my sister-in-law will help you." Xifeng said with a smile.

Yingchun nodded, she was moved here because of Baoyu's words, and she left her mother since she was a child. And the old lady is very precious Yuan Chun and Baoyu, but she is dispensable. She didn't say it, but she knew in her heart, but she couldn't say it.

Xifeng smiled and patted her hand again, and comforted her softly: "If you want to go back, this opportunity is good today." Now that Baoyu is gone, the old lady is sick again, how can she still have the strength to teach you. ”

As he was talking, Qing'er came back and came in to talk back to Xifeng: "When the slave and maid passed, the old lady hadn't sent someone to ask for a doctor, and the slave and maid had already sent someone to ask for it." ”

Xifeng nodded, and Qing'er went down.

"The doctor is here, what are you going to do, understand?" Xifeng asked Yingchun with a smile.

"Ahem, ahem," Yingchun coughed softly with a handkerchief covering the corners of her lips.

Xifeng was taken aback: "You shouldn't really have a cough." It's not that she hasn't seen insomnia, it's just that the Spring Festival outfit is too similar.

"No," Yingchun smiled shyly: "Brother Bao didn't want to write before, but it was like this." Every time the ancestor was very nervous, I learned from him. ”

"It's very good to learn," Xifeng smiled: "It's very realistic." ”

Xifeng said a few more words to Yingchun, and then went to the old lady's house. Baoyu was staring at the new little girl. Seeing that he was a little distracted, Xifeng couldn't help but look at it twice. One of the girls looked loyal and honest, and the other had willow eyebrows and fine eyes, and a pair of eyes were looking around intentionally or unintentionally, looking very clever.

"Baoyu, if you like it, let these two serve you." The old lady touched Baoyu's head in her arms: "I'm really not at ease if you're not in front of me." These two girls are very well taught, and with them waiting by your side, I don't have to worry about writing. Those little guys are all rough-hearted, and they know how to serve people more delicately than girls. ”

Yuan Chun's face changed, and he was about to give Baoyu a look, but Baoyu had already responded: "Thank you, ancestor." ”

Then, under the joint witness of Xifeng, Li Kun, Yuan Chun and others, Baoyu broke up the books he had read recently, and then renamed the two girls: Raider, Qingwen.

"Ahem," Xifeng, who was drinking tea, choked on a mouthful, it turned out that these two little girls were Raider and Qingwen. In the future, the Begonia Courtyard will have fun to watch.

Xifeng was thinking about the famous deeds of Raider and Qingwen in the original book, and the little girl reported that the doctor was coming.

Xifeng quickly got up and went to the spring house again, and sat outside waiting for the doctor's pulse diagnosis results. Spring is this time to serve the old lady tired, and catch a cold, just take two pills to recuperate for a few days. However, seeing that Yingchun was pretending to cough so hard, the doctor still said that the illness was five points.

Xifeng was very satisfied, asked people to grab the medicine, and sent someone to set up a car to send the doctor back. Then I went to the old lady to talk back.

"Oops, it's so serious." The old lady patted her forehead: "Look at my old fool, I felt that this child was filial a few days ago, but I didn't expect that she was young, how could she serve people." But now he's sick, ......."

Li Kun complied with the praise of Yingchun, and said: "The second girl's body seems to be a little weak. ”

The old lady smiled again: "The second girl's small body is weaker than Yuan'er, and Yuan'er has not been idle these days." As he spoke, he looked at Xifeng.

Xi Fengpi praised Yuan Chun's filial piety without smiling, and then without waiting for the old lady and Li Kun to answer again, he said with a smile: "The old lady is not feeling well these days, and the second sister is sick again. ”

The old lady didn't say anything, Yingchun was in front of her in the past few years, and Tian's heart was still less. This girl doesn't like to talk yet, how can she be as pleasing as Yuanchun, if it weren't for Baoyu's trouble, she would have sent people back a long time ago. It's just that it's hard to speak now.

She didn't speak, but Xifeng did: "Now that the second sister is here, not only can't you make you happy, but you also have to care about her from time to time, but we are not the ones who are grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law." Why don't I take my second sister back, how can you take care of her when you are sick now? Ancestor, what do you think? ”

The old lady still had to play again: "Ying'er has lived with me for several years, and I am still a little reluctant when you say this." ”

Xifeng said with a smile: "When she recovers from her illness, let her come to you every day to say goodbye, and you will talk to you here." “

The old lady sighed, "Hey, you can take her back." I'm sick now, too, and I don't have the strength to take care of her. If I'm fine, I don't want her to go anyway. ”

Xifeng couldn't help but sneer, but quickly pressed it down: "I know that you love her, and she remembers it in her heart, second sister." ”

Coaxed the old lady, Xifeng hurriedly ordered someone to clean up for Yingchun.

"You should keep the girl's things carefully, don't touch them. And those knick-knacks that girls like, be careful and don't break them. Xifeng went to Yingchun's house to take a look, and asked Yingchun to go with her first, leaving Cui'er to work with the little girls.

When he arrived at Rongxi Hall, Xifeng took Yingchun to greet Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing didn't expect Yingchun to come over together, and she was a little surprised. But seeing Xifeng holding Yingchun's hand intimately, Mrs. Xing hurriedly unfolded a smile: "Come up, I heard that Ying'er has not felt well for the past two days, you don't let her take care of her, what are you doing with her?" ”

"It's not just that she brought it," Xifeng pulled Yingchun to sit down and talk to Mrs. Xing: "I'm asking her back." ”

Mrs. Xing was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she was very happy and said, "It's good to bring it back, can you let someone arrange a place for her?" ”

"I just want to talk to my wife about this," Xifeng said: "I want to think about where to arrange her, hey, Ying'er's life is hard, and there is no ...... for her mother" Xifeng said and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, the acting skills of this body are really strong, just like that, her eyes are wet when she says it.

Surprise flashed in Mrs. Xing's eyes, and she finally pressed it down, and stretched out her hand to pull Yingchun: "This kid is strange and pitiful, or he will live with me in the future." We're in company. The tone seemed to be asking Xifeng.

"What does Mrs. mean that the second sister will be raised in your name in the future?"

Mrs. Xing thought for a while and nodded affirmatively: "That's what it means." ”

"Are you willing, Ying'er?" Xifeng looked at Yingchun and handed her an encouraging look.

Yingchun pursed her lips and smiled, then saluted and shouted "Mother", and the happy Mrs. Xing hurriedly helped her up and held her in her arms. She is not young at a young age, and not everyone is as capable of giving birth as Mrs. Wang. She doesn't have children, so it's not uncomfortable, and now it's great to have Spring by her side.

Yingchun is now young, not yet seven years old, so Mrs. Xing asked her to live in the west wing of her yard.

Mrs. Xing had just had a child by her side at this time, and she was very excited, so she pulled Yingchun to ask for warmth. Xifeng looked funny, but still reminded: "Madam, let's go and see how to decorate the house for Ying'er." She is small, and her wife has to call the shots. Look at what you want to put for her, I'll go to the library and get it. ”

"Yes, yes, it's important to set up a house for Ying'er first." Mrs. Xing hurriedly dragged Yingchun and Xifeng to the West Wing.

"I saw that my sister had some gadgets in the house before, clay figurines, kites, puppets, etc. Let's go back and let the girl go out and buy some beautiful ones for you, okay? Xifeng asked with a smile.

Yingchun nodded: "Second sister-in-law Xie." ”

The three of them said, and there was already a maid carrying the things for the Spring Festival, and after arranging it for a while, Mrs. Xing said: "It's too plain, I have two pots of narcissus in the house, go and move one pot to Ying'er," thought about it and said: "Bring that pot of dwarf pine too." ”

When everything was almost laid out, Xifeng looked really shabby, so he went to the library to get two good furnishings and put them on, and then looked at You Jue's insufficiency, thinking that Yingchun loved Go in the original book, Xifeng asked Yingchun: "Does my sister like Go?" ”

Yingchun nodded: "I like it, I think about it when it's okay." ”

"I have a good game of Go in my library, so I'll give it to you." Xifeng said and asked Xi'er to pick it up, and then looked at the house, there was still something missing, there were too few good things in this house, and there was a lack of something that could be eye-catching. Think of the two coral trees in her own house.

But there were too many things in her dowry, and Xifeng couldn't think of anything for a while, so she personally took the maid to pick it out, and it took a long time to pick a pearl mirror, a diora about a foot high and half a foot wide, surrounded by a circle of pearls, which was used for the spring stump; I picked a pair of white porcelain vases and a piece of jade, and asked Ping'er to pick two sets of two pairs of earrings on the head and face and bring them together for the Spring Festival.

Seeing that Xifeng had brought so many things, Mrs. Xing smiled and pushed Yingchun towards Xifeng: "Good girl, get close to your second sister-in-law in the future." She will hurt. ”

Xifeng asked rhetorically: "What else does Mrs. prepare for the Spring Festival?" ”

Mrs. Xing was stingy, but she looked at Shang Yingchun's big eyes that were a little expectant, and she was stunned to say that she was unfamiliar with the words of refusal, and said with a smile: "I have also saved some things over the years, you brought this mirror over, I remembered that I have a good makeup dowry there, and I can use it for Ying'er." That style is too young for me. ”

Mrs. Xing thought for a while and said, "You give her two heads, and I will make her a few more clothes, two more clothes for her in winter, and two more spring clothes for her in spring." Because Xifeng was really good to her, in just a few months, Mrs. Xing unconsciously felt a sense of security. As soon as she felt secure and felt that she had hope for the rest of her life, she was not as stingy as before.

Anyway, Xifeng is filial, in addition to buying things for her according to the rules of the house, she also added new ones to her every month, ornaments, clothes, and jewelry, and even the people around her are better than before after being replaced by her. Looking at her changing bun every day, Mrs. Xing felt that her spring was coming.

At this time, Yougang had just had a child by her side, and Mrs. Xing was very generous, and asked people to take out the four pairs of good pearls she had gotten at some point: "Your sister-in-law has given you pearl mirrors, and your mother has also asked people to make you a few pairs of pearl shoes to wear, so that they can match." ”

Yingchun was surprised: "Pearl shoes? ”

Xifeng hurriedly patted her shoulder: "Ying'er, don't be afraid, just put a pearl on the front of your embroidered shoes." Not shoes made of pearls. ”

Yingchun suddenly realized: "When my sister-in-law said this, I remembered that my eldest sister had a pair of shoes decorated with pearls. She didn't have this kind of treatment when she was in Rongqing Hall. It's better to have your own home. The big house is her home, and the old lady said that she loved her granddaughter, but in fact, she just hurt Yuanchun.

After decorating the house and sending a lot of gifts to Yingchun, Xifeng called all the people who served her. After some beating, I found that there was a girl who always looked at her, and that look was very unkind.

"What's this girl's name?" Xifeng asked to welcome spring.

"She's my eldest maid, called Si Qi." Yingchun lowered his head, remembering that Si Qi's maternal grandfather and family had been kicked out by Xifeng.

Chess? Is that the Si Qi who died of martyrdom with Pan You'an? It seems that she was copied out of something when she was inspecting the Grand View Garden. Xifeng didn't say much, and let them go out after a few words.

"Ying'er, sister-in-law told you directly, these people around you may be cheating and cheating, some may be sent by others, some may be practicing the master behind their backs, and some may be Na Qiao, but if these people are these people, my sister-in-law will send them out. As long as you enter the territory of the big house, you have to listen to the rules and orders of the big house. Xifeng patted Yingchun: "If your sister-in-law disposes of someone in the future, don't feel embarrassed." Your sister-in-law will pick out a faithful and protector to call you. ”

Mrs. Xing helped on the side: "Ying'er, don't you know, when your sister-in-law disposed of the minions in the big house before, I thought she was just looking for fault, and later I learned that none of those people were good things, and they were sent out clean." It's really annoying that we've been blinded by those bastards for so many years. If your sister-in-law changes you back, don't be afraid, she is all for you and for the good of our big house. She changed it for you, and it was guaranteed to be better than the previous one. ”

Yingchun nodded, she didn't say it, she knew it in her heart. Just looking at Mrs. Xing's current smug appearance, you can know that she is really doing well now.

Here in Rongxi Hall, the mother and wife chatted very happily. didn't know that Mrs. Wang had begun to dig traps for Xifeng on the other side of Haitang Courtyard.

Mrs. Wang thought about it, she couldn't fight Xifeng by herself, so the helper reminded by the old fairy must be used. But even if she fights Xifeng, she is likely to be retaliated against by her sister-in-law, the Lin family. Yesterday, Xifeng suddenly went back to her parents' house, but reminded her that if she wanted to get rid of it, she had to get rid of two.

However, in addition to Ma Daopo, she also found another helper.
