But it was said that the husband and wife were chatting quietly together, and a lot of people came out of the inner room, led by Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xu, followed by Wang Xifeng, Baochai, Tanchun and Xichun.

Seeing Jiao Shun and Shi Xiangyun acting so intimately, Wang Xifeng hurriedly ran her fingers over her face, but she felt a little bit disgusted in her heart.

Both Baochai and Tanchun's eyes flickered, and they didn't know what they were thinking secretly.

It's a pity that Chun turned a blind eye and was only thinking about foreign affairs.

Seeing everyone's attention, Shi Xiangyun was a little embarrassed, but he still stood up and asked generously: "What are you doing with your aunt?"

Mrs. Wang looked back at Aunt Xue and said, "Your aunt is going to live here for a few days, so she has to go and pack in advance."

Mrs. Xu also followed closely and said: "Now that we have seen the old lady, it's almost time for us to go back."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned slightly and hurriedly said: "Girl Yun finally came back. I don't know when she will come back again, so why not just stay here for a few days."

She hadn't thought of a reason to keep Jiao Shun at the moment, so she thought of keeping Shi Xiangyun as a raft first.

"this……"

Shi Xiangyun was a little moved when he heard this, so he looked at his mother-in-law eagerly.

Mrs. Xu naturally did not want her to stay in Rongguo Mansion, but she also knew that she had been close to Jia Mu since she was a child. Now that the old lady was seriously ill, it was indeed a bit unkind to ask her to leave after just one look.

When she was in a dilemma, Tanchun rushed to the side and said: "Let her live at my place. We two sisters will be very close to each other!"

Now Mrs. Xu is even more worried. Although they are cousins ​​and have been on good terms since they were young, Tanchun will marry sooner or later. Then the housewives will start to fight each other, in case it hurts Xiangyun's belly.

What should we do with the children inside?

But to refuse seems too deliberate...

At this time, Jiao Shun said with a smile: "Why don't you, mother, go back by yourself first? I'll stay here for one night, and we can return the house together tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Come on, just make up your own mind."

In this way, everyone sent her out of the door first, and then went their separate ways.

Although he had already eaten and used it, Jiao Shun definitely couldn't live in Qiu Shuangzhai, so he was arranged in the guest courtyard.

According to what was said before, Shi Xiangyun left behind two Xiangling and Qingwen, led Cuixi, Hongyu, two little maids, and four middle-aged servants, and followed Tanchun to the Grand View Garden.

The scenery along the way was bleak, but she looked at it extremely seriously. Everywhere she went, she could recall the shadows of sisters and brothers playing here. When she saw Qiu Shuangzhai, she was still overwhelmed, so she pulled Tan Chunyang and said: "Third sister,

I rarely come back, how about you accompany me around?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"Um……"

Shi Xiangyun poked his slightly plump chin with his finger and muttered: "Go to the nearby Xiaoxiang Pavilion first, and then go to Luxue Temple, Liaoting Huaxin, Zhujin Tower..."

Seeing her counting down with her fingers, Tanchun rolled his eyes and said, "You might as well say you want to go shopping all over again. We can go to three places at most. If there are more, I will complain to Brother Jiao!"

"Well, that's okay too."

Shi Xiangyun thought for a while with a grimace, and then said: "Just go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Zhujin Pavilion, and Hengwu Courtyard."

After Tanchun heard this, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun, and Xue Baochai lived in these places respectively. Nowadays, things have changed. Choosing a few places to visit shows Shi Xiangyun's nature of attaching great importance to love and justice.

She raised her hand and lightly poked Shi Xiangyun on the forehead, saying: "You are almost a mother now, but you still haven't changed at all - just wait, I'll have the rickshaw pulled over right now. Now you are

Baby, how dare I let you walk?"

Shi Xiangyun just wanted to reminisce about the past, and didn't care whether he walked or took a car.

Of course, if she had a choice, she still hoped to ride a bicycle back and forth.

…………

The words are divided into two parts.

Aunt Xue followed Baochai back to the wedding room. As soon as she entered the door, she frowned: "It's almost November, why are the windows still open in the house?"

Baochai waved back and said helplessly: "The old lady was unconscious here all night yesterday. She was taken away when she woke up in the morning. I didn't have time to clean up, so I had to open the window to get some air."

As he said that, he pointed to the bed and said, "Thankfully, mother is here, otherwise I wouldn't know how to deal with these things."

The furnishings on the bed were all prepared for the wedding room, but Jia Mu lay on it all night. If she didn't replace it, Xue Baochai would definitely feel uncomfortable; but if she rushed to replace it, she was afraid that someone would find fault with her.

He said that she disliked the old lady, or accused her of deliberately destroying the wedding room to vent her anger.

Now that Aunt Xue is going to stay here for a few days, it is a matter of course to change the bedding.

When Aunt Xue heard the reason, she couldn't help but pull her daughter into tears: "When I married into the Xue family, how could I have been so cautious? Besides, it's not our fault. If I had known..."

"I chose it myself."

Xue Baochai interrupted his mother's words and said with a smile, "I was originally worried about how to control Baoyu, but now I have lost my mind. It can be considered a gain and a loss."

Aunt Xue was a little anxious: "But you are so young, are you really going to be a widow all this time?! Baoyu is certainly stubborn, but, but..."

"Mother."

Baochai held her wrist with his backhand and said softly: "We'll talk about the future later. If I forgive him easily now, it will only make him more aggressive."

"Alas~"

Aunt Xue didn't know this truth. She sighed helplessly and couldn't help but said: "I should have known this before..."

"Mom~"

Baochai intercepted her words again, stretched out his hand to grab one end of the mattress, and said, "Please help me, let's fold this mattress first."

"Just let the maids do this."

Aunt Xue kept talking, but she still helped her daughter fold the quilt, and then raised her voice to call Ying'er.

But it was a little maid who came in after hearing the sound. The little maid explained that Sister Ying'er had been kneeling for half the night yesterday and now it was difficult to walk.

"Then who's in charge now?"

"It's Sister Qingwen and Sister Xiangling."

"Is it them?"

Aunt Xue was stunned at first, and then her heart felt warm, thinking that it was Jiao Shun who came to help.

Baochai had known this, so he was naturally not surprised. He pointed at the quilt on the bed and ordered the maid to change it to a new one with a cleaner element.

The maid saw that there were a lot of things, so she hurriedly went back outside. Not long after, she led Xiang Ling and another little maid in, and the three of them quickly started organizing.

Aunt Xue didn't feel anything just now. After shaking off the bedding, she still felt that there was an old man's smell in the room, so she ordered someone to light an incense stick and said to Baochai: "Why don't we go to the garden first?"

Let’s take a break and come back later to see what else is missing.”

Baochai is indispensable.

Then I went to the Grand View Garden with my mother, originally to relax, but when I saw the winter desolation in the garden, I really couldn't be happy.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Xue suggested, "How about we go sit in your Hengwu Courtyard?"

"It's been a while since I've been there."

Baochai nodded slightly, so the mother and daughter changed their route and walked towards Hengwu Courtyard. When they rounded the huge stone that stuck into the sky, they suddenly heard laughter like silver bells coming from inside.

Baochai and Aunt Xue looked at each other, and speeded up their pace in unison. When they crossed the threshold, they saw Shi Xiangyun leaning on a recliner covered with fur mattress, talking and laughing with Tanchun.

"Yeah~"

Seeing that it was Baochai and Aunt Xue who had arrived, Shi Xiangyun's eyes lit up, and he was about to turn over and sit up. However, he failed to get up after several attempts, so he had to rush aside Cuixi and Hongyu stretched out his hand and said: "Pull me up quickly!"

Tan Chun took the lead and worked with Hong Yu to pull her up. He joked: "I don't think that old friends Zhen Xia, who used to come and go like the wind and disperse like clouds, would actually be as stupid as an ox at times."

"嘁~"

Shi Xiangyun pouted: "Sooner or later you will not be able to escape this fate!"

After saying that, he protected his stomach and hurried forward to greet them and said: "Why are aunt and sister Bao here? Didn't they say they wanted to go back and clean up?"

"The maids are already cleaning up."

Xue Baochai held her hand, looked around and sighed: "It seems like it was yesterday that the two of us lived next to each other here."

"It's a pity that few people pay attention to this yard recently, and it has become somewhat deserted."

Shi Xiangyun also sighed with emotion, then pointed at Tanchun and said, "If my sister wants to accuse me, just go to her!"

When Tanchun saw this, he also smiled and came forward, took Xue Baochai's arm and said, "That was in the past. If you want to find someone who makes the decision in the future, you should ask my sister-in-law."

Then, he had no choice but to explain: "Although this garden is good, it doesn't have as many flowers and trees as elsewhere. Those ordinary people have poor eyesight and only care about cultivating and selling it. How can they be willing to work here in vain?"

Just as he was talking, someone came to invite Aunt Xue, but it was Mrs. Wang who returned to Qingtang thatched cottage. Hearing that she was hanging out in the garden, she invited her to come and talk.

Aunt Xue was a little hesitant after hearing this. Her sister obviously wanted to use herself as a breakthrough point, but she saw Baoyu's look like mud couldn't patch up the wall, and her daughter was cautious, not even daring to change a set of bedding.

It seems that she can't let go easily.

Seeing her hesitation, Baochai smiled and said, "Since my wife invited me, mom can just go. I'll talk to my sisters here, and I'll pick mom back up later."

Aunt Xue reluctantly agreed.

She had prepared a draft on the way and was prepared to refuse no matter how much Mrs. Wang tried to persuade her. However, as soon as they met, Mrs. Wang said: "You came just in time. I have made an appointment with Jiao Changqing for a private meeting in the evening. When we arrive,

You can go too when the time comes, and we can have a nice chat face to face."

This time, Aunt Xue couldn't refuse.

Just when I didn't know how to answer, someone came to report again, saying that the palace had given me something as a reward, and asked my wife and Mistress Bao to go quickly to receive the reward.

Mrs. Wang was not surprised. When her brother got married, Concubine Xiande should have rewarded her with something. She felt strange that she didn't receive it yesterday, but she didn't expect it to be given today.

She didn't care what to say to Aunt Xue anymore, hurriedly changed her body and clothes, and joined Baochai to the Rongxi Hall in the front yard.

The eunuch who delivered the gifts handed out the gifts to everyone one by one, then picked up the last box and asked with a smile: "I wonder where the old lady is? My queen specially told me to present this gift in person, and then ask the old lady for a few words before she goes back."

Return to life."

"this……"

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng looked at each other, and finally said half-truthfully: "To be honest, father-in-law, our old lady had a convulsion in the middle of the night because she was too happy yesterday. She woke up with difficulty at dawn, but she was already confused.

It’s unpopular.”

"How could this happen?!"

The eunuch pretended to be shocked, then handed the gift to Mrs. Wang to present, and went back to the palace to report the news.

The reason why Jia Yuanchun did not give a reward on the wedding day was to keep a low profile and avoid suspicion. In this way, the procedures were open and transparent, and naturally could not be hidden from interested people in the palace.

When Emperor Longyuan heard about this, he felt sad that a rabbit had died and a fox had died. It was because he was overjoyed and suddenly had a cold that he fell ill. How is the old lady's condition similar to his now?

It's just that the age difference between the two parties is huge...

Based on this sympathy for the rabbit's death and the fox's sorrow, he also specially ordered the Tai Hospital to visit him for consultation.

When Dai Quan was ordered to go out to deliver the oral message, Emperor Longyuan couldn't help but raise his hand to scratch the paralyzed left side of his face. This half of his face was unconscious, and the left side of his brain had been throbbing from time to time recently, but scratching had no effect.

, unyielding and really unbearable.

When Dai Quan came back, he had already scratched several bloody marks on the left half of his forehead. Seeing this, Dai Quan hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him. He wanted to serve the emperor and drink some soothing and analgesic decoction, but the emperor waved his hand and refused.

After drinking the decoction, Gein felt drowsy, and sometimes he could not wake up for a whole day. Emperor Longyuan would rather endure the pain than spend the last period of his life in such a muddle.

But recently his migraine symptoms have become more and more serious.

Dai Quan saw this and was anxious in his heart. He was afraid that the emperor would not be able to hold on during the court meeting in two days, but he was afraid of irritating the emperor's pride and did not dare to persuade him face to face.

After thinking about it, I had no choice but to find an opportunity to report my concerns to the queen.

After hearing this, the queen was very helpless and said that establishing a crown prince was the top priority at the moment and there was no reason for anyone to stop it. She could only prepare more preventive measures at that time.

Just as they were discussing what supplies to prepare, Concubine Wu arrived.

The two were now familiar with each other, so the queen asked her to wait in the inner room for a while. After sending Dai Quan away, she went in to look for her.

However, she saw that Concubine Wu had already taken out the memorial book with ease. She held it in her hand without opening it, and said with a look of disgust: "I can memorize these two articles by heart. Sister, I often flip through them. Don't you think so?"

Are you bored?"

"Bah~ who often reads it?!"

Empress Xiafei spat loudly, stepped forward to snatch the memorial and stuffed it back into the book box, saying half-truthfully: "This is the petition handed over by Jiao Shun. You really treat it as a script."

Did you see it?"

"Then why don't we go find some real story books and take a look?"

Concubine Wu looked eager to try.

"Are you going crazy?"

The Queen couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this: "Your Majesty is in such a situation now, but you still have to collect some 'scripts'. What would happen if it were spread?"

After a pause, he added: "Besides, there shouldn't be any scripts on the market with this style."

Concubine Wu refused to give up. After thinking about it, she suggested: "Then how about we just write a copy of it?"

"You are really going crazy!"

Seeing that she was serious, the queen shook her head repeatedly: "In this case, you can't do such a thing without your words!"

Concubine Wu curled her lips: "Let's write it behind closed doors. God knows what you know and what I know, and we're not afraid of spreading it out. Besides, as long as we don't sign it, anyone else can bite us." Written?"

She kept pestering her, but the queen just didn't respond. In the end, she simply said in anger: "Then I'll write it down and go to my sister's tasting office, right?"

"You, you are really crazy!"

The queen couldn't stand her obsession, so she could only respond with a smile, and then hurriedly said: "Is this just why you came to me today?"

"Of course not."

Only then did Concubine Wu remember her purpose, so she straightened her figure and asked, "Should it be time to arrange the order of going out to visit the palace after the year or two?"

The time when concubines leave the palace to visit their relatives is concentrated in the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month, and because there are so many people, it happens once every two years.

The queen knew that her sudden mention of this matter was probably at the request of others, so she said readily: "You can think of making a list yourself, as long as you don't go too far."

After a pause, he added: "Remember to put the virtuous concubine at the front. Firstly, she took the initiative to give way to the virtuous concubine and didn't leave the palace until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to visit relatives; secondly, I just heard that her old lady was seriously ill, so she couldn't go early. Some, we can still see each other for the last time."

"this……"
