Chapter 173: Flesh and Bone
The old lady also felt that this method was good, so she called Mrs. Wang and Xifeng to come over to discuss, "Many people in the garden have also dispersed at this time, send a few families out, it is not as good as the time when they were in the first place, hurry up and tighten it up, and only live a comfortable life, which is better than anything else!" ”
Xifeng said, "Only that garden, how much work it took to build it at that time. Now, isn't it a pity that it's just closed! ”
The old lady shook her head, "I know that you young people love face, and you feel that you have reduced the number of people and closed the garden, and you are afraid that the nobles in the capital will laugh at you, but you must also know that compared to the destruction of the family, we are also good now." ”
The old lady seemed tired, and refused to say more, but waved her hand and told them all to leave. Xifeng didn't leave, quietly took Daiyu's hand, pulled her aside, asked her if she wanted to eat or play, she must go and tell her, and said, "I got a lot of tea from there, and I'll ask Ping'er to bring it to you later." ”
Daiyu said okay, for a while the old lady passed it, Daiyu was busy, while asking the maid to beat the old lady's legs, and asked Li Mi to come over to loosen the old lady's muscles, and couldn't help but be very worried, "You are now the Dinghai Shen Needle at home, but you must not be pity, how old are the uncles, Jiaojiao said a big word, and now he has committed these things, and it is unfilial to ask the old lady to worry about him." You don't want to drive some yet, take care of yourself, and when I turn around, my mother is back, and look at you, it's time to talk about me again. ”
The old lady couldn't help laughing, pointed at Daiyu and said to the mandarin duck, "This kid, it's me who blames you." Holding Daiyu's hand, "I'm confused, I didn't understand it for a while, but since ancient times, there have only been melons and melons, how can there be melons and melons?" You said your mother was coming back, but when did you say that? ”
Daiyu shook her head, "Only Niangniang came with news from the palace, saying that Your Majesty told Niangniang that he had made a decree, and promoted my father to be the left deputy capital of the imperial history, and he was in the third grade, and he returned to Beijing to report on his work before the year." In August, I heard that my younger brother had entered school, and when he came back, he happened to worship under the door of Mr. Shen Xiaoqing. ”
The old lady was very relieved to hear this, "Among my children, it was your mother who made me feel at ease the most, but now her children are all angry, and I can see it, this time let Baoyu move out!" ”
Daiyu knew that the old lady was disheartened, but this decision was really good, and said, "Second Brother Bao has always been smart, and it is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and now he has also seen the impermanence of life, and he should have woken up, and he will no longer live up to the hard work of his uncle and aunt like before. ”
Baochai and Baoqin have already moved out, Xing Xiuyan and Yingchun lived in the old lady's west wing, Tanchun and Xichun still moved back to Mrs. Wang's room to live in the three small hugging houses, one less person, and more spacious than before, and live together, do not have to be the same as before, because living in the garden is too empty, there are more maids and women who want to go to the night, and now there are a lot of people, and there are many expenses for a while.
Let's say that Jia Zhen waited for the prison, and in addition to Xue Pan who gambled there at night that day, there was also Zhang Hua, who was the one who married Second Sister You. In the past, when Jia Zhen was still there, he passed from time to time, and also left some money, You Lao Niang and his two daughters lived a little settled, but now Zhang Hua died in prison all of a sudden, and Jia Zhen did not come, so he couldn't help but be anxious.
Fortunately, there is also Jia Lian, who often comes to help one or two, and some of the ladders he has saved are also spent on Second Sister You. After coming and going, Second Sister You became pregnant. It's just that Xifeng's side has been good for three days, and two days are not good, and he has lost a six- or seven-month-old brother, who has injured his body, and he doesn't know when he will be able to recover.
Before the end of the year, Lin Ruhai sent a letter and will arrive in Beijing soon. Daiyu is packing up the cage here, and she has to go back first so that she can clean the house in case her parents come back. Because a few years ago, Jia Zhen and Jia Yu could not be sentenced, You Shi and Mrs. Xing were women, and the emperor was extra gracious and released the female dependents in the house, and the subordinates were all confiscated, so only the two came back, and temporarily lived together in the upper room of the old lady.
Who knows, and somehow, it came out, saying that in the alley of small flowers outside, the former Zhang Hua's wife, Second Sister You, was pregnant with Jia Lian's child, and it has been three months now. She couldn't have entered the gate of Jia's house, but because You came back, You Lao Niang and the second sister and third sister came in to see, and when they saw that she was pregnant with a big belly, they asked and said that it was the flesh and blood of the second master.
Suddenly, Daiyu and the others also felt embarrassed, and hurriedly got up and entered the blue yarn cupboard, and saw that outside You Lao Niang was given a small pestle to sit on the ground, Third Sister You stood behind her, Second Sister You knelt in front of the old lady, You Shi, Xifeng and Li Kun stood on one side, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang stood on the other side, all at a loss.
The old lady asked, "You said that you have the blood of my Jia family, and I ask you, aren't you married?" Isn't your man's name Zhang Hua? ”
Second Sister You said, "Back to the old lady, the slave family is young, and once they came here, they were all discussed and advocated by the mother and sister. The slave family has already died in prison, because he knew the second master, and thought that he was a relative, the second master said that he would be a relative and a parent, and he would prepare an heir, so he agreed! ”
As he spoke, he was too ashamed to raise his head. As soon as the old lady heard the heir, she groaned, and her eyes inevitably looked at her lower abdomen, and she had the intention of asking her to get up. Daiyu was a little frightened, and also felt that although the world was impermanent, it was not traceless, and now that she was going back, she really didn't have to worry about the affairs of the Jia family.
Who knows, Tanchun walked out and said, "Old lady, our family is not that inconspicuous small family, and the second brother Lian is a knight, and he can't be casual, and today is really not the time to say such a thing, why don't you talk about it another day?" ”
The old lady came to her senses and said to Mrs. You with a smile, "It's rare for the in-laws to come, so I'll drink before I go." ”
In the evening, everyone was gone, and the old lady wanted to leave You Shi to speak, Daiyu smiled, "How old is Second Sister You over there, and she has been married, and you have to be decided by others?" is to listen to people's persuasion, she has a mother in front of her, where is the need for Zhen's sister-in-law to preach? The old lady listened to her bite! ”
The old lady nodded and said to You Shi, "Your sister is a widow who has been married, and secondly, this child is conceived outside, but if she has married someone and is not conceived outside, I don't care about it for the sake of the child, but now, it is absolutely impossible." ”
The third sister of Nayou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, she makes trouble every day, but after the second sister of Nayou goes back, the child is gone for no reason. Xifeng sneered, went out in person, and brought in Second Sister Nayou. On the day of entry, it happened to be Daiyu who moved back, she was getting on the car at the door, the old lady sent it with tears, she also came to see Daiyu, Daiyu only glanced at her with pity, and boarded the car.
