In March, the sick old lady did not survive and died.

As soon as he made an order, he had to enter the palace to cry for the old lady.

Emperor Longzheng also made a decree: where there is a lord's house, no banquet music shall be extended within a year; Civilians are not allowed to marry for three months.

In the Jia family, Jia's mother-in-law, You's mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang all have orders to enter the palace to cry for the old concubine.

After Jia Lian had a real job, he also asked Wang Xifeng for an order.

However, because she was pregnant, she applied for leave and did not need to enter the palace.

After crying, he ordered to follow the coffin of the old lady to the imperial tomb, and it would take at least a month to come and go.

Jia's mother was worried that after they all left, only Jia Baoyu and some girls in the family would not be safe, so she asked You to take leave to stay at home to take care of the government affairs of the two prefectures, and invited Aunt Xue to live in Daguanyuan to take care of the girls.

On the Lin family's side, Mrs. Lin also wants to enter the palace, and the children in the family are still young and need to be taken care of, so Lin Daiyu returned to the Lin family to take care of her younger brother and was not in Daguanyuan.

However, the Grand View Garden is already very lively, and the two cousins of Xue Baoqin and Li Kun live in the Grand View Garden.

This should be the time when the Grand View Garden is the most crowded.

Because music cannot be extended within a year, so that those who have raised excellent singers at home have to be sent away.

There are twelve operas in the Grand View Garden, which must be sent, so You Shi came to Mrs. Wang to discuss how to send these twelve operas.

Mrs. Wang made a consistent charity appearance and said: "These people who learn drama are not as good as those who are called, they are also the children of good families, because of the difficulties at home, so they made a play for others to play." Now that there is such an opportunity, it is better to give them a few taels of silver and go separately. ”

You said: "Some of these twelve people have no family and may not be willing to leave. ”

Mrs. Wang said, "If you don't want to leave, stay and do the work of serving people." These jobs are not difficult to learn, and our family has always been generous to our subordinates, and the work is not heavy. ”

You Shi said: "Then I asked her to ask for twelve, and if there was anyone who was willing to go back, I brought Xin'er, called her parents to come back in person, and gave them a few taels of silver to wrap around." If she hadn't called her parents and relatives, she was afraid that some bastard would take them out and resell them in her name, wouldn't she have failed this grace! If anyone does not want to go back, stay. ”

Mrs. Wang nodded: "That's it." ”

You immediately sent someone to deal with the affairs of the twelve girls, and after asking them clearly, four of them were willing to go home, and eight were not. The reasons are different, but they are all disappointed in their original home and have no feelings.

When Jia's mother knew that there were eight girls who were willing to stay, she was happy.

She already likes young and beautiful girls, when even if she left a person called a civil official by her side, there were seven girls left, and she pointed out Zhengdan Fangguan to Jia Baoyu, sent Xiaodan Xinguan to Xue Baochai, sent Dahua Mian Kuiguan to Shi Xiangyun, sent Xiaohua Miandouguan to Xue Baoqin, and sent the foreigner Aiguan to Jia Tanchun, You Shi asked Lao Dan to go to the official.

Although Lin Daiyu was not there, Jia's mother still left Xiaosheng Lotus Officer for her.

Since then, these girls have stopped practicing with their voices every day, and have begun to pick up needles and threads and learn to be popular.

This matter had nothing to do with Jia Huan, but a few days later, Xiao Jixiang found Jia Huan and wanted to invite Jia Huan to come out and leave a scene.

This drama is called Peng Guan, and he is one of the four who are willing to go home.

However, when her relatives came to the door, Peng Guan learned that her parents had died long ago, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law were now in charge of the family.

Her sister-in-law is a selfish and money-loving person, and she is bent on selling Peng Guan again after bringing him back.

Where is Pengguan willing to go home?

But she said before that she was leaving, and this time she regretted it, You Shi would definitely not keep her.

Fortunately, she is a master who likes to gossip, so she has become a very good friend with Xiao Jixiang.

After Xiao Jixiang learned about her situation, he said that he asked Jia Huan to come forward to help.

Xiao Jixiang said to Peng Guan: "Although our third master is not valued in the mansion, he is looked down upon by those who have eyes on the top of his head. But the third master is a very good person, and he is very good to our subordinates. As long as we don't betray the third master, the third master can do whatever we want, and never deduct our monthly money. You see how comfortable I am playing around in the house every day. This is all allowed by the third master. The third master also allowed us to go out of the house to play. ”

Peng Guan was moved when he heard it: "Is the third master of Huan really that good? ”

Xiao Jixiang nodded vigorously: "Of course, the third master of Huan is used to doing things by himself, he wears his own clothes, and he doesn't let people serve him when he takes a bath." It's really idle to follow the third master of Huan. ”

She tried her best to sell it, telling how good Jia Huan was as a master.

Peng Guan's heart was moved, but there was a question: "Is the third master of Huan willing to come forward to help me?" ”

Xiao Jixiang: "The third master is a good person, I will ask him, and he will agree." ”

Jia Huanhe: "So, I was sold by you like this." ”

Xiao Jixiang clasped his hands together and pleaded: "Third master, you are a good person, can you help Pengguan?" Can you bear a good girl to fall into a pit of fire? ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Jia Huan muttered, but he still stepped forward to help the two girls.

Jia Huan approached You Shi and said that he had taken a fancy to Peng Guan and wanted him to be his maid.

You Shi was embarrassed: "But Pengguan is already leaving the house." ”

Jia Huan acted as a scoundrel: "Isn't this not that you haven't left yet?" I don't care anyway, I just want her. Why do Jia Baoyu and Jia Tanchun both have dramas to be maids, but I don't? ”

You Shi had no choice, so he said perfunctorily: "In this way, I will ask Peng Guan if she is willing to stay and be a maid for you." You go back to the yard and wait. ”

Jia Huan: "She must be willing." ”

You Hehe, thinking that Peng Guan would definitely not be willing.

As a result, he called someone over and asked, and Peng Guan couldn't wait to agree.

You: "?? ”

Could it be that these two have already secretly communicated with each other?

Peng Guan wants to be Jia Huan's roommate?

That's not right, Peng Guan wanted to go home before.

Peng Guan sighed: "I wanted to go home before, because I thought my father and mother were still there." As a result, my father and mother are no longer there, and my sister-in-law is bent on selling me for money again. ”

You Shi looked at Peng Guan sympathetically, understanding why she was reluctant to leave.

It is better to follow Jia Huan, an unfavored concubine, than to be sold again.

Who knows where it will be sold.

If Peng Guan's sister-in-law is a black-hearted person, in order to exchange for more money, she was sold to the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, and Peng Guan's life was completely ruined.

You Shi: "I know, then you can stay." Pack up your things and report to the courtyard of the third master. ”

Peng Guan's goal was achieved, he was very happy, kowtowed to You Shi, and left happily.

You Shi chuckled: "Huan'er is quite lucky, just in time for Pengguan to encounter such a thing." It's good that things are settled like this! ”
