A red shadow flashed, and only a silver bell-like laughter was sprinkled: "Love brother, third sister, come quickly!" ”

Xiangyun ran wildly, and he didn't care about the cold wind. The maid behind him couldn't catch up, and was so anxious that he told him again and again, but Xiangyun didn't listen to anything.

The Bowling Marquis Mansion has always been strictly ruled, and although the second uncle and aunt have never treated her harshly, she always feels restrained. Now that she is celebrating her birthday, she has no one to control her in the back garden, and the little girl is free to fly, revealing her true nature.

Her laughter seemed to be contagious, and the brothers and sisters had not been so naughty for a long time, and immediately laughed and chased and frolicked.

The back garden of this Hou Mansion is not as vast as the garden of Rongguo Mansion, but it is exquisite, the group bypassed the landscape building, stopped in the Baihua Pavilion, looked at the falling snow and red plums, and laughed wantonly, Xiangyun caught a glimpse of Daiyu coming unhurriedly, and there was an extra hand stove sleeve in his hand.

Seeing that the rabbit fur set was quite exquisite, Xiangyun blinked and said, "Hey, this set is interesting, where did Sister Lin get it?" ”

Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "This son will become Sister Lin again?" You, you really use people to face forward, not backward. Where are you like this? ”

Xiangyun smiled coquettishly and leaned over to carefully observe the hand stove cover. The hands are inserted across the lower abdomen, leaving a mesh cover for the hand stove facing outward. The silver hand stove is full of smoke and aroma.

Xiangyun lives in the Hou Mansion and is insightful. Not to mention, just the charcoal cake burned, even the Bowling Marquis Mansion and other leisure can not be used, it is too expensive!

This charcoal cake is ground into powder with hoarfrost charcoal, and then served with spices, and pressed into a cake with water, and then dried before it can be used. A small piece of charcoal cake alone costs two dollars of silver, and it is enough to use it once in a while, a piece of charcoal cake can only burn for two hours, and it will hurt the rich family when used in winter.

Xiangyun's heart suddenly felt pantothenic, only when Jia's mother really cherished Daiyu's granddaughter, she also lived in Rongguo Mansion when she was a child, how could she have used such a valuable object?

Because it was Xiangyun, he couldn't help pouting and said, "I really envy Sister Lin." ”

Dai Yuyin smiled: "What do you envy me?" If you really want to, this hand stove will give you -"

"Really?"

"You have a child, I can't coax you today." Daiyu took out her right hand, and without waiting for a move, Zijuan on the side came over and took the hand stove down. "But I can't give it to you."

Xiangyun didn't know why, but looked at the silver hand stove and was overjoyed: "Then thank you Sister Lin." "As he spoke, he was about to grab it.

"Huh?" Zijuan hurriedly flashed and said angrily: "Miss Shi, this hand stove is hot, and I am not afraid of burning my hands." ”

Xiangyun put on gloves at this time, took over the hand stove, and suddenly showed two little tiger teeth. But I saw that Snow Goose found a hand stove again, lit the charcoal cake, and stuffed it back into Daiyu's stove cover.

Xiangyun blinked, his heart was pantothenic, but because of Daiyu's repeated kindness, he picked on the thorns again. In the blink of an eye, he threw the hand stove to the maid, ran out of the pavilion and grabbed the snowball, and smashed it towards the pavilion: "Giggles, otherwise let's have a snowball fight!" ”

The second girl Yingchun exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly dodged, and the snowball happened to hit Tanchun's face all over his face. Tanchun was suddenly annoyed: "Okay, I'll give you a good today!" ”

After that, he also ran down with a smile, grabbed a snowball and frolicked with Xiangyun.

Everyone was attracted by these two people and threw snowballs one after another. That Jia Huan specially picked Baoyu to smash it, and secretly thought in his heart, it would be better to smash Baoyu into a serious illness.

Only Daiyu was tightly wrapped and watched from afar in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. Although she wanted to be so stubborn in her heart, she also knew that she was weak and couldn't help being so cold.

Everyone frolicked for a long time, and they were all happy, so they beckoned Daiyu to leave the Baihua Pavilion and go to the front of the Zhishou Hall to keep warm. After that, I appreciated the plum couplet.

Xiangyun pointed to the wind blowing the trees in the distance, and said: "The north wind is singing and the trees are rustling." The sky is vast, and the yin is strong. ”

The second girl thought for a moment, and continued: "Winter snow and snow are cold in winter. The cold air is cold, and the silence is desolate. ”

Baoyu frowned: "Second sister's sentence is too sad...... I'll take it, and I'll freeze three feet of frost. The cold penetrates the bones, melts and stiffens. ”

When it was Daiyu's turn, Daiyu blurted out: "Ye Luo Sanghuai is not young." Dead wood makes spring, and the wax tastes warm. ”

Xichun is still young, but Tanchun doesn't know how to continue because of Daiyu's sentence, because he can only bow his head and admit defeat.

Xiangyun suddenly said: "I have just forgotten to set the rules, how should I be punished for admitting defeat?" ”

Everyone groaned for a while, and Xiangyun smiled and said, "Giggles, I think, it's better to itch for three breaths." After that, he approached Tanchun, his hands were itching, and the maggots seemed to be rolling back and forth with a smile.

said that it was three breaths, but Xiangyun waited until Tanchun told him to spare before he stopped. When Tanchun was about to be returned, Xiangyun suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people in the distance, carefully identified it, and immediately ran out and beckoned from afar: "Fourth brother Jian, come quickly!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the verandah not far away. I saw the two brothers, Shi Wei and Shi Sui, walking with the tall and straight Li Weijian as if they were protecting the Dharma left and right.

But I saw that the top of his head was embedded with a ruby Zhongjing crown, covered with jujube red satin on the outside, a round-necked robe with tooth white embroidery on the inside, a colorful belt with a silver background, and official boots under his feet came without hurrying and stepping on the snow.

The second girl couldn't take her eyes off for a while, and she didn't see her for a while, and Yingchun was thinking about it tightly. Isn't that the same for Daiyu on the side? It's just that when he gets closer, he retracts his gaze shyly.

When he saw it in his eyes, the boss suddenly disliked it. Because it is so, he said: "Why is the fourth brother thrifty late?" I look at Huizi and make a couplet to be embarrassed for him, if he can't answer, then he will be fined three glasses of wine. ”

Xiangyun didn't know what to do, and he echoed without looking back: "Okay, there will be a difficulty." ”

After a while, Li Weijian got close, and Xiangyun stepped forward and said with a smile: "Fourth brother Jian is late!" ”

Li Weijian glanced at Daiyu and the second girl, and then lowered his head and smiled: "Don't you have to punish three glasses of wine?" ”

Xiangyun smiled and tilted his head and said: "Punish the couplet, right, but make up for the punishment of wine?" Love brother, do you have a sentence? ”

Baoyu clasped his palms together and smiled: "There is." Yao pointed not far away and said: "The small bridge is full of snow and fireworks, and the beautiful trees are beautiful, and there are half a few words left." ”

Li Weijian blinked: "Butterfly loves flowers? ”

This Baoyu's sentence is not taken from the word card of butterfly love flowers? Li Weijian thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "That's it, admit defeat and admit defeat, and punish yourself three cups later." ”

Baoyu couldn't help but feel secretly proud, but Daiyu was annoyed, and opened her mouth to relieve the siege: "Fourth Brother Jian is in charge of family and country affairs every day, where can he think about these ups and downs?" Later, the fourth brother will drink two more cups to warm up his body, this couplet, why don't I do it for you? ”

Li Weijian arched his hand and smiled: "There is Sister Laurin." ”

Daiyu moved lightly, but after three or two steps, Yingying stopped with a smile, turned around and said, "There is...... The treasure mirror is carved and shadowed, desolate and exhausted, and the lamp is thin and the night is thin. ”

"Good sentence." Li Weijian praised with a smile. A group of people also praised one after another, and that Baoyu was even more stupid, repeatedly chanting 'lamp thin and thin night', only to feel that Daiyu was extremely talented, but forgot that Daiyu was willing to protect Li Weijian.

Seeing that Daiyu's little face was red from the cold, Li Weijian was worried that he would be sick again, so he said: "It's cold outside, I just watched the troupe enter the house, why don't we go and see it together?" ”

This remark immediately provoked everyone to echo, and then walked towards the landscape building in front.

Only glanced at each other slightly, Daiyu didn't know Li Weijian's care, and felt that the hands in the sleeve were getting warmer and warmer. I couldn't help but secretly wonder, the fourth brother of Jian couldn't say a good sentence, but I was afraid that he didn't want to play with words with the second brother like a child. In fact, in terms of talent, just the sentence 'I am a melancholy guest in the world', how many people can compare with this world?

Others ridiculed, the fourth brother of Jian was not shocked, she didn't care, but she was cautious, where could she allow others to ridicule the fourth brother of Jian?

Thinking about this, he took a few steps back, and when he woke up, he saw Xiangyun leading Sanchun and Baoyu frolicking and walking away, and the fourth brother Jian quietly followed him at some point.

Daiyu's face became more and more red and tender for no reason, and she tilted her head, not daring to look over.

Shoes creak on the residual snow. There was snow hanging on the trees in the distance and being blown down by the wind, Li Weijian couldn't help but say: "The wind plays with the residual snow——"

Daiyu couldn't help but blurt out softly: "-Nianjun's heart is warm"

Suddenly, Daiyu's face suddenly became more and more blushing. Seeing Li Weijian smiling and looking over, Daiyu hurriedly took two steps quickly.

Such words are so straightforward, how can they blurt out? It really shouldn't.

After a while, everyone arrived at the Deshan Shui Building, and the stage on the first floor was neatly arranged, and Xiangyun's child, everyone asked her to order a few folds first, and then they ordered their own orders, and then went to the seat and waited to watch the play.

Li Weijian wanted to talk to Daiyu and Yingchun, but Shi Su and Shi Sui around him were like door gods, and they couldn't get rid of them, so they had to patiently follow the two brothers to say something about what they had and didn't.

After a while, Mrs. Baoling Hou arrived, and the maid sent refreshments, melons and fruits like flowing water, and this time Baoling Hou's Mansion really made a book, and even the newly opened greenhouse melons in the garden sent a plate to each table.

Just now everyone wandered in the garden, with maids and mothers-in-law taking care of them, and they were informal. Carved into the building, a screen was placed in the middle to cover it slightly. At the head of the female dependents, Mrs. Baoling Hou and Wang Xifeng took care of her; This side of the box is Li Weijian, Shi Xu, Shi Sui, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan.

This Shi Su and Shi Sui are both from Confucianism, although Li Weijian can also speak, but he is impatient. On the contrary, Jia Lan and the two had a good conversation. Jia Huan was left to eat and drink, and Baoyu frequently looked at the other side of the screen. Li Weijian simply hugged his chest and watched the play.

There is a saying that 'singing Tu Su in the high place of the jade building, dancing sleeves fluttering between the buildings', Xu is thoughtful, Li Weijian really heard a little charm.

However, Kunqu opera is too elegant, and it is completely incomprehensible without a certain literary background, and it is now only circulated among the powerful and scholars, far less than the momentum of the Hui class.

When it was too late, Baoyu thought of her sisters and sisters in her heart, and she became more and more bored to sit down.

Jia Huan on the side rolled his eyes, touched the large firecracker hidden in his arms, hurriedly swallowed a piece of osmanthus cake, covered his stomach and said, "Eh, no, no, no, I'll go out first." With that, he got up and walked away.

Baoyu has his own maid with him, but Jia Huan didn't bring it, Shi Wei hurriedly wanted to send the maid with him, Jia Huan hid a traitor in his heart, where did he dare to let the maid follow? He just waved his hand indiscriminately, and disappeared without a trace.

Li Weijian saw it in his eyes, where did he not know Jia Huan's thoughts? Zhengjue was bored watching the play, so he simply got up and said: "After drinking too much tea, I will also go to change clothes, and the two brothers will sit down for a while." ”

Shi Sui got up and said, "Brother Shi, wait a minute, I'll ask the maid to lead the way." ”

Li Weijian smiled and said: "There are Bao brothers and Huan brothers in the past, are you afraid that you won't be able to find a place?" No need. As he spoke, he pressed Jia Lan's head again: "Eat less sweets and be careful of tooth decay." ”

Jia Lan grinned, and suddenly revealed a leaky mouth with missing front teeth: "Uncle, don't worry." ”

Li Weijian walked out, and before leaving the building, he looked back, but saw that the second sister-in-law Wang Xifeng had already left in the seat.

But it was said that Baoyu came out of the landscape building, and suddenly saw two golden chickens playing in the forest, and suddenly felt interesting, because he led the maid and simply went into the forest to watch the golden chickens frolicking.

After a while, Jia Huan chased after him, but where could he find Baoyu's figure? I vaguely remembered that the latrine was near the left, so this guy quickly looked for it. When he arrived at the Roin Pavilion, he could vaguely hear someone talking inside, and Jia Huan concluded that it must be Baoyu. Immediately took the fire fold and blew it, took out a large firecracker and lit the lead, then threw it over the wall, and then turned around and ran!

ran out for dozens of steps, and only after bypassing the Baihua Pavilion did he hear a loud noise. Jia Huan suddenly covered his mouth and laughed, secretly thinking in his heart, even if he couldn't blow up Baoyu now, he would have to scare Baoyu!

Suddenly, hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Jia Huan hurriedly hid under the pavilion, until the footsteps went away, and then ran all the way back to Shanshui Tower. He didn't know that the person who had just passed was Li Weijian.

Li Weijian heard the explosion, first walked a few steps quickly to have fun, and then slowed down...... He doesn't owe Baoyu, he can't die if he goes early, right?

After thinking about it, I heard Wang Xifeng scolding: "Useless things, it can be seen that you are raised for nothing on weekdays!" ”

Immediately, a little maid said aggrievedly: "Second grandmother, I ...... I just can't hold it. Otherwise, I'm going to call Sister Ping'er, right? ”

Li Weijian was stunned, how could it be Wang Xifeng inside?

He coughed, and the sound inside suddenly stagnated, Wang Xifeng snorted angrily and asked, "Who is outside?" ”

"But the second sister-in-law? I'm Li Weijian. ”

"Huh?" Wang Xifeng's voice suddenly changed: "God is pitiful, fortunately it is Brother Jian who came." I didn't know which blind person threw a firecracker in, I got up and didn't check for a while, twisted my ankle, and it hurt so much. Brother Lao and thrifty went to call Ping'er, my little girl is young and lacks strength, and it is difficult to help me stand firm. ”

Li Weijian looked around, and saw that there was a maid looking this way. hurriedly beckoned, and only when he got close to the front did he recognize that it was the maid beside Xiangyun.

Cui Wei hurriedly went in to help, and after a while, she and the little maid walked out with Wang Xifeng, who was frowning.

Li Weijian has learned Qihuang a little in Maoshan for two years, only looked at his eyes, and saw that Wang Xifeng's right foot did not dare to stick to the ground, so he immediately waved his hand to stop: "Wait, second sister-in-law, your situation doesn't look like a sprain, but a fracture." ”

"Huh?"

Li Weijian said: "This kind of injury should not be negligent, if you hold on, I am afraid that there will be trouble in the future." Thinking about sending the maid to ask someone to come back, it was really cumbersome, Li Weijian simply said: "The second sister-in-law should go back to the middle to find a chair to sit in, send the maid to ask someone to carry the sedan chair, and quickly ask the doctor to diagnose and treat it." ”

Wang Xifeng was startled, seeing that he was serious, he didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly returned to the rosin pavilion. Cui Wei knew that this matter was urgent, and hurriedly went to Shanshui Building to report the news, while Li Weijian stayed inside to talk to Wang Xifeng.

After a while, Mrs. Baoling Hou hurriedly led people over, accompanied by the imperial doctor of the house. The doctor said 'offended', and touched his bones slightly, and Wang Xifeng suddenly gasped in pain.

The imperial doctor said: "Sure enough, I hurt my bones, but fortunately I didn't misplace, I went back and put on a splint and took a few pairs of medicines, and I was fine in one or two months." ”

Wang Xifeng suddenly wanted to cry without tears, the provincial relatives were imminent, and the Rongguo Mansion was busy, and it was Mrs. Wang who took the idea of big and small things, but she was the one who handled it. Besides, seeing that the moon is coming, the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse are already on the market, and if she doesn't check them every few days, how can she put her mind at ease?

I never expected that when I came to the Bowling Marquis Mansion, I would cause such a disaster!

Mrs. Baolinghou asked the little maid, and when she heard this, her face darkened: "Where did the scourge come from?" Gather the servants in the back garden, find out one by one, and see who did the good thing! ”

Wang Xifeng was about to echo, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Weijian's frowning slightly and stretching out, and then glanced at him meaningfully. Wang Xifeng is a clever character, knowing that the Shi family has a strict family education, and there will definitely be no servants throwing firecrackers to scare people. Thinking about Baoyu, Jia Huan, and Jia Lan, they are not very old, and it is the time to be naughty, so it can't be the sins of these people!

It's just that the ugliness of the family is not allowed to be publicized, if Mrs. Baoling Hou exposes it, where will the face of Rongguo Mansion go?

Because Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Why does my cousin bother to mobilize the people? It's just a trifle...... Besides, today is Xiangyun's child, and he must wait for Xiangyun's sister to give birth. ”

Where is Mrs. Bowling Hou willing to listen? only said: "Brother Lian's daughter-in-law Mo said, I have my own opinions on this matter." ”

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to stop talking, and followed the servant to carry the soft sedan chair, and the mother-in-law carried Wang Xifeng into the soft sedan chair, and then carried him to the front.

Later, the imperial physician treated Wang Xifeng, Mrs. Baoling Hou inquired privately, and Li Weijian returned to Shanshui Building. He took the time to call Cui Wei and gave the brocade box containing the congratulatory gift.

Mrs. Baolinghou and Wang Xifeng never returned, and everyone only talked to each other in private. When the time came, the table of the flowing list came up, and Xiangyun was called out by Cui Wei, opened the brocade box and glanced at it, and saw that the silk white agate bracelet inside was immediately overjoyed.

After that, during the banquet, Yan Yan smiled and pushed the cup to change the lamp. That Xiangyun drank two more glasses, his pretty face flushed, and sometimes he sprinkled a silver bell-like laughter.

At the end of Shen Shi, the troupe retreated, the wine banquet was withdrawn, and the maid brought tea, and everyone came back to taste, why did they never see Wang Xifeng?

At this time, Mrs. Baoling said playfully about Wang Xifeng's injury, and everyone was startled and hurried to the front to watch.

Although Wang Xifeng smiled and said that it was not a big deal, the smile was extremely reluctant. Baolinghou's Mansion is not a Xiangshan Villa, there are maids and servants watching here, and Jia Huan thinks he has succeeded, but he doesn't know that he has already fallen into the eyes of others. Mrs. Baolinghou found out at this time, but she didn't know what to say.

Because he knew that he had not found out, Wang Xifeng was clever, and he knew that the ugly matter was exposed just by looking at Mrs. Baolinghou's face. Because I am more and more angry in my heart!

After a little calculation, Jia Lan follows the rules, Baoyu is stubborn but he will not do this, the thrifty brothers don't need to mention much, and only Jia Huan's embryo can do such a thing!

Wang Xifeng secretly hated in his heart, and only said that he would return to Rongguo Mansion and give Jia Huan a good look.

At this time, her legs and feet were inconvenient, because she could only ask Li Weijian to take care of the small ones on her behalf, Li Weijian naturally responded, and beckoned Sanchun, Daiyu, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others to get into the carriage.

also took advantage of this occasion to flirt with the second sister Yingchun and Daiyu eyebrows, and then escorted all the way to Rongguo Mansion.

……………………………………………………

Panxiang Temple outside the city of Suzhou.

Xing's mother nagged: "The abbot has come again today. ”

Xing Zhong sat on the chair, carrying the wine bottle in his hand, his face smoky. But he didn't say a word.

His wife said, "If you are in charge, you must find another job." In the past, I relied on Xiuyan to go to Yangzhou to help people cook and earn some money, but now that I have spent it all, I can't afford to lose my income. ”

Xing Zhong suddenly sighed. He likes wine by nature, and he always drinks a few cups a day, but it just so happened that Gu Wanzhong's weaving yard changed the steam engine before, although he repeatedly told Xing Zhong to take care of the housekeepers, don't let people damage the machine. But Xing Zhong didn't care about it, and it was still the same last year, but as a result, some female workers didn't roll up their hands and got into the flywheel.

The female worker's hands were crippled, and her husband's family didn't do it, so she went to the government office, and Gu Wanzhong paid eighty taels of silver. The chief steward was furious and fired Xing Zhong.

For more than a year, he relied on his wife to wash Panxiang Temple, and Xing Xiuyan went to Yangzhou to cook for Daiyu for a few months before he could maintain it. But Daiyu has already returned to Beijing, and Xing Xiuyan's girl's family is not good to go to the male guest's house to be a cook, because there is no income.

Xing Zhong scratched his head and said, "It's really not possible, let's go to Jingshi to join her eldest aunt." ”

His wife Nahan stopped her work and listened to Xing Zhong say: "A few days ago, I bumped into Xing Dequan and said that Xiuyan's eldest aunt had married a noble person as a continuation, and we went to run, and we had a bite to eat even if it was not good." ”

His wife became concerned: "Noble? Which nobleman? ”

"Rongguo Mansion."

His wife was immediately overjoyed: "Yo, that's really a splash of wealth!" It's just that when you go to Jingshi, you always have to entangle. ”

Xing Zhong dropped the empty wine bottle and said abruptly: "Don't worry, I'll find another errand in the new year, and if I earn enough, let's go to Beijing." ”

Xing Xiuyan heard her parents' words and sighed abruptly. After taking the last stitch, he mended his clothes, got up and went out of the small courtyard, and after a while, he looked for the seal behind the meditation room.

Zhu'er looked up at her little face and said with a sad face: "Sister, I didn't catch the yellow eel today." I just saw a big one in the water, but unfortunately it disappeared as soon as I drilled it. ”

Xing Xiuyan handed over the mended monk's robe and said, "Try to see if it fits." ”

The seal should be lowered, and it should be put on three or two. This monk's robe is an old garment, and I don't know which bhikshuni left it, but it was mended, and it looked fat when worn on the seal.

Zhuo'er added a layer of clothes, and suddenly warmed up a little, and then said aggrievedly: "Today, the abbot came to me again, saying that the monk is too expensive, and there is no money left in the temple, so let me think of it myself." Where am I going to find that much money? Zhang'er said with a sad face: "The abbot said that in another half a year, if there is no monk, I will have to go down the mountain to find a way to survive." ”

Xing Xiuyan felt pity in her heart, but she couldn't do anything. said: "My family is not good, otherwise I will help you." I just heard my father and mother say that I was afraid that I would go to Jingshi to join my aunt in a while. ”

Zhu'er became more and more sad, hung her little head and said silently, muttering: "It would be good if Li Langzhong was still there...... If you grab food, you have to help us. After a pause, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head and said, "Sister, if you go to Jingshi, will I go with you?" ”

"You?"

Zhang'er smiled: "There must always be a maid by my sister's side, right?" How about I come to be a maid for my sister? ”

Xing Xiuyan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and reached out and touched Zhang'er's little head, knowing that Zhang'er regarded herself as a life-saving straw. She couldn't bear it, so she bowed her head and said, "Okay, then Seal'er will be my little maid." ”

Zhang'er suddenly became happy: "Sister is so good, I will go to catch the yellow eel tomorrow, and I will always catch the big one." I asked my sister to burn it and eat it, so let's have a tooth sacrifice. ”

Xing Xiuyan smiled and took Zhang'er in her arms, but she was extremely uneasy in her heart. Displaced, defected to distant relatives, and the future is uncertain, how can she survive with her temperament like this?

……………………………………………………

Jinling.

Xue Zhen sent the doctor out of the door, and then turned around and entered the inner house. opened the curtain and entered, and saw her sister Baoqin leaning over and talking to her mother.

Xue Zhen entered the warm pavilion, then frowned, and said, "Why did you remove the brazier?" ”

Baoqin was only eight or nine years old, born with bright teeth and picturesque eyebrows, and when he heard this, he said: "My brother doesn't know, but my mother said that she was depressed, and I was afraid that it was contaminated with charcoal poison, so I ordered someone to quickly withdraw the brazier." ”

Xue Zhen stretched his brows and bowed his head repeatedly: "Yes, this charcoal poison can not be careless." Then he smiled again: "Mother is relieved, the doctor just said that with two more medicines, my mother's body will always get better." ”

His mother, Lu Shi, said: "I don't know my own body? Every winter, it becomes a sick seedling, and when it warms up, it gets better again, and it does so every year. Tador Mo stood, sat down and spoke. ”

Xue Zhen should get down and move a stool to sit at the head of the bed.

Lu Shi said: "Your father is in a hurry...... The family has never been settled, and it is thanks to the tadpoles who are barely supporting. ”

Xue Zhen said: "My son is just a strong support, and he accidentally got the help of nobles before he got back the silver." ”

For more than a year, Xue Zhen went around to collect arrears, but he never met a noble person like Li Weijian again, because the money was spent a lot, but there were few people who came back. And because there is no imperial merchant background to cover, Xue Zhen has run into walls in this house, and now the business of Haimao no longer dares to touch it, for fear that he will lose all his family business.

Lu said: "Your father said clearly before his death, this business must be taken care of by nobles before it can be managed." Who knew that Dafang was so treacherous! Don't talk about losing the emperor's businessman's foundation, and hide us in the dark! Ahem, ahem—"

"Mother."

"Mom."

Baoqin hurriedly helped Lu Shi up and stroked his back, and it took a long time for Lu Shi to stop coughing. Immediately, the willow eyebrows rose, and he said angrily: "Don't mention this imperial businessman's background, there are many family businesses in that big house." You can't just let the big house occupy it so quietly! ”

Xue Zhen frowned when he heard this. Now Aunt Xue, Xue Pan and others are sheltering the Rongguo Mansion, and they are looking for it, where is it so easy?

At this time, I heard Lu Shi say again: "Yesterday, your fourth aunt came to visit the patient, and accidentally talked about an incident. That Xue Pan had a lawsuit, but now he fell under the fourth room and changed his name to Xue Yu. Saying that, he looked at Xue Zhen and said solemnly: "My son will go to Beijing to ask for it in the New Year, always one or twenty thousand silver, and now he can't make a living, this silver money can always support my son to start a family, and he will have a capital to make a living in the future."

If you don't return the big house, you will show your face and threaten with this matter! ”

"This ......" Xue Zhen saw that the Lu clan was resolute, so he had to stiffen his head and say, "Okay, my son knows." ”

Lu sighed again: "After this incident, now we are just a family of merchants, and we are only afraid of the marriage of the Mei family......" She looked at Baoqin and reached out to stroke her daughter's cheek: "It's my son." ”

Bao Qin thought clearly, and said, "Why should my mother be sad? If the Mei family repents, her daughter went to Beijing to find a talented person to marry, and with her daughter's support, she will be more prosperous than the Mei family in the future. ”

Lu said with a smile: "Baoqin's talent and appearance, how many people can compare with the princess and noblewoman?" Pity...... It's our family that's dragging you down. ”

Bao Qin shook her head, not paying attention.

Xue Zhen on the side was moved. Ten days ago, I heard from the newspaper that Li Weijian, a noble man who helped him that day, went out to triumph this time, and was actually promoted to Uncle Ling! This is a second-class uncle, the noble man is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and in another ten years, who knows if he will be crowned a national prince?

Earlier, the Xue family still had an imperial businessman to cover up their ugliness, but now even the last fig leaf is gone. Mo underestimated the foundation of the imperial businessman, and with this, he was able to shelter the Xue family in a few rooms. Once it is gone, the Xue family is afraid that it will fall apart.

Now that Dafang Lai is not leaving in Rongguo Mansion, isn't he afraid that he will be eaten alive without shelter? Thinking of what his mother just said, isn't Li Weijian a nobleman?

Xue Zhen thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Sister, go and see how your mother's medicine is doing." ”

Baoqin should go down, and don't ask much, get up to check. As soon as he left, Xue Zhen pondered for a long time, until Lu Shi urged: "If my son has something to say, why bother to vomit." You opened the fiano, but it has something to do with the fiddle? ”

"Mother clearly sees ......" Xue Zhen said: "Mother still remembers that I once mentioned Li Weijian, who helped her son when I was in Guangzhou?" ”

"Is that Li Langzhong?"

Xue Zhen bowed his head and said: "Ten days ago, I got a letter, and Master Li was awarded the second-class title of Lingbo for his military exploits. ”

Lu Shi was shocked: "At such an age, he was crowned an uncle?" With a sigh of clarity, he suddenly came to his senses: "What do you mean—"

Xue Zhen leaned over and bowed: "That Uncle Li is young and promising, and his son looks at it and sees that he is not obsessed with women." If the Mei family repents of marriage, the younger sister should be a good concubine with Uncle Li. ”

Although the Lu family does not know how to operate, he can teach Xue Zhen and Baoqin a son and a daughter, and they are naturally not stupid women. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Then Uncle Li is so hot, I don't know how many people want to send their daughters to-"

Xue Zhen said firmly: "It's man-made. ”

Lu Shi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Okay, I'll talk to Baoqin when I go back and see what she thinks." ”
