At the second watch of the night, Jia Yun, who had punished Feng Su at the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, returned to the mansion with Feng Shi and Xiang Ling, and also took the thousand taels of silver compensated by Feng Su.
Of course Jia Yun would not take away the money and gave it all to Feng.
After returning to the mansion, Jia Yun learned that Bu Wuniang was still awake. It was not surprising that such a thing happened in the house tonight, and Bu Wuniang was naturally very concerned.
So Jia Yun took Feng Shi and Xiang Ling into the bright room of the main room of Bu Wuniang's courtyard, and found that not only Bu Wuniang was not sleeping, but Qingwen and Liu Wu'er were not sleeping either, and they were all with Bu Wuniang.
Wait.
Jia Yun told Bu Wuniang about the matter in detail.
Bu Wuniang was happy for Fengshi and Xiangling, and she was also proud of Jia Yun. She felt that her son was really a capable man, and he was able to rectify Feng Su, Qingwen, and Liu Wuer so easily. They were also proud.
Although Feng received one thousand taels of silver, she had no intention of redeeming Xiang Ling. Instead, she followed Jia Yun's arrangement. From then on, Xiang Ling continued to work as a maid in the house, while Feng became a housekeeper in the house.
Because Feng was very grateful to Jia Yun and felt that Jia Yun had done a great favor to her mother and daughter this time, she would feel ungrateful if she redeemed Xiang Ling afterwards.
Because Feng Shi also knows that even if she now has a thousand taels of silver and can afford to redeem Xiang Ling, once she leaves Jia Yun's house with Xiang Ling, the life of an orphan and a widowed mother will probably not last long in this world.
If you don't do it well, you may even fall into misery again.
If he returns to Suzhou, his property will most likely be occupied by Feng Su or other relatives again. Considering Feng Su's character, he may even sell Xiangling again.
The mother and daughter stayed in Jia Yun's house, one as a maid and the other as the housekeeper. Not only could they be carefree, but they would also have a good income.
What's more, Mrs. Feng also knows that if Jia Yun doesn't want Xiang Ling to be redeemed, even if she is Xiang Ling's mother, no matter how much money she has, she can't redeem her.
Feng also asked Xiang Ling what she thought, and learned that Xiang Ling was unwilling to leave. Originally, Xiang Ling liked the life in Jia Yun's house, but now Xiang Ling felt that she owed Jia Yun a great favor, and wanted to be her husband for the rest of her life.
How can you be willing to leave if you repay your kindness well?
Under Jia Yun's arrangement, Feng and Xiang Ling could live together in the west wing of Bu Wuniang Courtyard for a month, in order to quickly get closer to the mother and daughter who had been separated for many years.
This is another favor shown by Jia Yun to the mother and daughter. Logically speaking, an elderly woman like Feng is not qualified to live in a wing, but should live in the lower courtyard.
A month later, Jia Yun would not let Feng live in the lower courtyard. Instead, he would let Feng continue to live in Bu Wuniang Courtyard. However, he no longer lived with Xiang Ling in the west wing, but moved into the room behind the main house.
The back room is very close to the west wing where Xiang Ling lives.
Bu Wuniang agreed to Jia Yun's arrangement, and Feng, Xiangling and her daughter were grateful again and again.
…
…
After arrangements were made for Fengshi and Xiangling, the night was getting darker. Jia Yun stopped disturbing Bu Wuniang's rest and walked towards her main courtyard located on the middle road.
At this moment, a calling voice came from behind: "Second Master!"
Jia Yun was already very familiar with this voice. She stopped, turned around and looked at Qingwen who was catching up quickly, and smiled slightly: "It's so late, why don't you go and rest, why are you here with me?"
Qingwen walked up to Jia Yun and said, "Second Master, today you suddenly found Xiangling's mother and allowed Xiangling to be reunited as mother and daughter. You really did a great thing and I am happy for Xiangling."
"
When the conversation changed, Qingwen's tone became sad: "It's a pity that my parents are gone long ago, otherwise I would definitely ask the second master to find my mother for me."
Jia Yun stopped smiling when she heard this, and looked at Qingwen with pity in her eyes.
Jia Yun even found Xiang Ling's mother so that Xiang Ling could be reunited with her mother and daughter. If Jia Yun could also find Qingwen's mother so that Qingwen could be reunited with her mother and daughter, Jia Yun would naturally be willing to do it.
.
It's a pity that even Jia Yun can't do this!
The original work only stated that Qingwen did not remember her parents in her hometown, but only knew that she had an uncle and brother Wu Gui.
Jia Yun had doubts about this in her previous life, thinking that since Qingwen knew that Wu Gui was an uncle and brother, how could she not remember her parents in her hometown?
Therefore, shortly after Jia Yun came to Qingwen, she asked Qingwen and also asked Wu Gui personally. She learned that Qingwen's parents had died when Qingwen was only one or two years old and had no memory.
After Qingwen regained her memory, the only relative she had around her was her uncle and brother Wu Gui...
So Qingwen doesn't remember her parents in her hometown, she only knows that she has Wu Gui as her uncle and brother.
Under such circumstances, Jia Yun naturally could not find Qingwen Niang.
Now hearing Qingwen's words, Jia Yun couldn't help but think that in the original novel, Qingwen died tragically on a reed mat and called her mother all night long...
Alas, just like Xiangling, Qingwen is also a girl with a tragic fate!
Fortunately, since Qingwen came to Jia Yun's house, her life has become better and she is rich materially. Even her shortcomings of speaking harshly and acting willfully, Bu Wuniang and Jia Yun don't mind.
It can be said that Jia Yun saved Qingwen.
"Why doesn't Second Master say anything?"
Seeing Jia Yun looking at her in a daze, Qingwen asked with a resentful look.
Jia Yun smiled again and reached out to rub Qingwen's head. Qingwen started to dodge subconsciously, but when she saw that Jia Yun didn't stop, she stopped dodging and lowered her head, letting Jia Yun's hand touch her.
I rubbed my head a few times, and my face turned red with embarrassment.
Jia Yun raised Qingwen's chin with her hand again, looked directly into her eyes, and sighed softly: "Yes, your parents are gone, otherwise even if you don't take the initiative to ask me, I will take the initiative to find it for you."
Parents, just like, this time Xiangling didn't take the initiative to beg me, so I took the initiative to find her mother."
When Qingwen heard this, her eyes couldn't help but moisten. She was moved by Jia Yun's words, but also sad about her own life experience.
Qingwen looked at Jia Yun and sobbed: "Although Xiangling's fate is tragic, at least my mother is still alive and was found by the second master, so that mother and daughter can be reunited. However, my parents died long ago, even if the second master
I wanted to help her find her, but I couldn't find her."
"Nowadays, the maids in the second master's house, Xiren, have mothers. When Xiren's father left, the second master went to visit the funeral to offer sacrifices. Zicuckoo also has a mother, and Liu Wu'er has a father and mother.
Even Xiangling has a mother, but I am the only one without a father and a mother."
Jia Yun said softly: "Don't think about it. The more I think about you, the more uncomfortable it will be. Although you have no father or mother, you can live a good life in my house now. My wife and I love you so much."
With you, doesn’t this place feel like your home now?”
Qingwen said "Yes": "Thank you, Master, and thank you, Madam!"
Jia Yun smiled and said: "It's already very late. Let's go back and rest. I have to rest after a busy day."
Qingwen said quickly: "Second Master, don't leave in a hurry, the matter is not over yet!"
Jia Yun asked: "What else do you have to say?"
Qingwen had already held back her tears: "Second Master found Xiangling's mother today and did a great thing for Xiangling. Although my parents are gone long ago and Second Master cannot help me find them, but
The second master should also do a good thing for me, so that I will not envy Xiangling so much."
Jia Yun: "..."
Jia Yun has realized that saying sentimental words is only one of Qingwen's purposes for catching up with him this time. The other purpose is to make trouble with him and seek benefits from him!
Jia Yun asked, dumbfounded: "What good thing do you want me to do for you? Are you asking me for gold and silver again?"
Qingwen chuckled: "Second Master, do you think I am greedy for money? I don't want to ask you for gold or silver this time. But if Second Master wants to give me some gold and silver, I will accept it."
Jia Yun: "..."
Jia Yun then smiled and said: "There is no gold or silver this time, but I can give you a copper coin, do you want it?"
Qingwen snorted: "Does the second master think I am a beggar? You want to send me away for just one copper coin? That's all. I think the second master is not willing to give me gold and silver this time, and I don't want these things this time."
, I just have a request, if the second master satisfies me, he will have done a good thing for me."
Jia Yun was curious: "What is your request?"
Qingwen said: "Please ask the second master to sing a song for me!"
Jia Yun: "..."
Jia Yun sometimes sings, well, to be precise, she sings songs from her past life, and sometimes she even sings in front of the maid.
Jia Yun remembered that the first time she sang in front of a maid was "Yueren Song" in front of Xiren and Zijuan.
Since then, Jia Yun has sang in front of Xiren and Zicuckoo many times.
Qingwen had heard about this a long time ago. She heard that Jia Yun likes to sing new and fresh music, and she also composes her own music and sings it beautifully.
For this reason, Qingwen has asked Jia Yun to sing a song for her several times, but Jia Yun has not agreed several times.
And tonight, Qingwen made this request to Jia Yun again.
Looking at all the maids in Jia Yun's house, apart from Xi Ren and Zijuan who were used to this matter, only Qingwen dared to make such a request to Jia Yun.
You know, in this era, singing is usually the job of actors. Jia Baoyu, a cool person, is not seen singing in the original work.
This means that asking Jia Yun to sing is unruly and offensive.
Qingwen dared to do this not only because she has always been a sharp-tongued person and willful in her actions, but also because she knew that Jia Yun would not be angry about such a thing.
Qingwen rarely took the initiative to act coquettishly towards Jia Yun. She hugged one of Jia Yun's arms and said in a coquettish tone: "Please second master, please sing a song for me. I really want to hear it, second master."
I have sung a song for Xiren and Zicuckoo many times, so why can’t you also sing a song for me?”
Then he said: "Even if the second master doesn't care about me, he still cares about my parents. Please sing a song for me!"
Jia Yun couldn't laugh or cry again: "Whether I sing for you or not, what does it have to do with your parents?"
Qingwen said: "My parents are gone a long time ago. How pitiful I am. The second master should just take pity on me."
Jia Yun: "..."
Alas, this little hoof really looks like a annoying little goblin!
However, not only was Jia Yun not dissatisfied, she actually liked Qingwen like this. She felt that in this world of red mansions with strict etiquette, a maid like Qingwen was an alternative. Qingwen's character was not lovable in the wealthy inner houses of this era, but
To the time traveler Jia Yun, it looks cute.
Of course, the premise is that Jia Yun knows that Qingwen is a kind-hearted and dedicated person. If Qingwen's character is bad, no matter how beautiful Qingwen is, Jia Yun will not pamper Qingwen so much.
"It's not convenient to sing here, go to my courtyard."
Jia Yun turned around and walked away without saying anything.
Qingwen smiled and followed happily.
Soon, Jia Yun took Qingwen into his main courtyard.
Xiren and Zijuan were naturally not asleep yet and had been waiting for Jia Yun. Seeing that Jia Yun came back so late and brought Qingwen with her, both of them were surprised, but they did not think about the love affair between men and women.
.
Both of them knew that Jia Yun was very measured in matters of love between men and women. Apart from anything else, the two of them had long been Jia Yun's nominal roommate, and they hadn't been cheated on by Jia Yun yet. They didn't think that,
Jia Yun will show off to Qingwen tonight.
"Qingwen, what are you doing here so late?" Zijuan couldn't help but ask.
Qingwen smiled proudly: "Second Master wants to sing a song for me!"
Zijuan had deliberately shown off in front of Qingwen more than once before that Jia Yun had sung for her many times, so now Qingwen was proud of this in front of Zijuan.
Zijuan snorted and said to Jia Yun: "Second Master, really, it's so late, why are you singing for Qingwen? It's more serious to take a rest quickly."
Jia Yun smiled and said, "I recently composed a new and fresh song. Don't you want to hear it?"
Zicuckoo's eyes suddenly lit up: "Think!"
Even Xi Ren was looking forward to it.
Haha, listening to the fresh and new music composed by the second master himself, under such circumstances, Zicuckoo can't bear to compete with Qingwen.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "Go get hot water, and the second master will sing while taking a bath."
Xiren and Zijuan were not surprised by this, knowing that Jia Yun liked to sing songs while taking a bath.
Qingwen was dumbfounded, ah, singing while taking a bath, what should she do?
Zicuckoo noticed the strange look on Qingwen's face and said with a smile: "We have to serve the second master. It's inconvenient for you. Well, you can just stand at the door and listen later."
Qingwen paused and said, "I don't, I...I just want to go inside and listen."
Jia Yun, Xi Ren, and Zicjuan looked at Qingwen with strange eyes.
Qingwen responded awkwardly but stubbornly: "I... I carried my back!"
Soon, Xiren and Zicuckoo poured a bucket of warm water. Under the service of the two of them, Jia Yun sang while soaking comfortably:
"The fragrance of the red lotus root lingers in the jade mat in autumn. I untie my clothes and board the orchid boat alone. Who in the clouds sends me a brocade book? When the wild geese return, the moon is full in the west building. The flowers are floating by themselves and the water flows by themselves. A kind of lovesickness and two places of leisurely sorrow. This is
There is no way to eliminate the love, but it is on the brow, but it is on the heart, but it is on the heart..."
Qingwen, who was standing in the room with her back to Jia Yun, felt awkward at first, but as she listened, she no longer cared about the awkwardness. Instead, she was immersed in the music and Jia Yun's singing.
.
In Qingwen's opinion, this piece of music is not only fresh and beautiful, but also beautifully sung by Jia Yun.
Even Xiren and Zijuan, who had listened to Jia Yun's songs many times, couldn't help but be fascinated by this song and Jia Yun's singing this time.
Both of them think this is the most beautiful song Jia Yun has ever sung!
