When Jia Mu met the four girls Xue Baoqin, Li Min, Li Qi, and Xing Xiyan, she was immediately overjoyed.
Seeing Xue Baoqin walking down like a painting, he couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Wang, then turned around and asked Aunt Xue: "Girl Qin, I told you I don't have one."
Mrs. Wang's hand holding the Buddhist beads suddenly stopped. And Aunt Xue felt that she could no longer maintain her smile. What did the old lady mean? Did she look down on Baochai? But she couldn't do anything wrong if she looked down on Baochai.
Talk about Baoqin. They are all girls from the Xue family, and Baoqin's background is not as good as Baochai. But the old lady asked Baoqin alone what she was doing. Did she mean to say that the Jia family didn't care?
What is her identity and origin? She doesn't care about her origin, but she doesn't agree with her daughter's marriage to Baoyu. Doesn't it mean that she doesn't like Baochai as a person? The more Aunt Xue thought about it, the more her eyes grew dark, but she still endured it and said: "It's settled, it's settled."
The son of the Mei Hanlin family."
Hanlin is the most noble official position. With Jia Zheng's current position, no one dares to say that Jia Baoyu is better than the young master of the Mei Hanlin family.
Jia Mu nodded, smiled, and said no more.
Jia Baoyu was standing outside the door at this moment, wanting to go in but not daring to go in. At this moment, he thought of Shi Xiangyun. No matter how much he tried to escape, he knew that he was probably the one who had harmed Xiangyun. He felt that the world was really disgusting and innocent.
My daughter's family ended up like this because of some rumors. Who should be blamed?
Listening to the coquettish whispers in the room, Jia Baoyu turned around and returned to his yard. In the end, the only person who should be blamed for the beating was himself.
When the attacker saw him coming back, he said, "Why don't you just chat and laugh with the sisters? You're back again."
"You're so good, what are you going to do to harm others?" Baoyu entered the room with his head down.
Just when Xiren didn't know how to persuade him, he heard Qingwen running in excitedly and saying: "They say that the girls in our family are very good. I don't think there are four girls here. They are really stunning. Only Miss Bao's sister,
There are many things that are not as good as this precious girl."
She Yue said: "We have also seen good girls. Not to mention the girls in our family, the girls from the Lin family and the girls from the Shi family are all stunning. This one is better."
"You just went to see it yourself, and you are convinced." Qingwen curled her lips and glanced at Baoyu, and said: "Second Master, don't go and see it."
"No." Jia Baoyu said, stood up and said, "I was going out for a walk, and the old lady asked me about it and said that I was going out to meet a friend and would be back later."
Looking at Jia Baoyu's hurried back, the worry that struck people deepened. Baoyu was acting like this, making people wonder what he was thinking.
Mingyan carefully waited beside Jia Baoyu and asked, "Second Master, where are we going?"
Jia Baoyu whispered: "I'll go find out later and ask where the historian's family temple is."
Mingyan was startled, shook her head repeatedly, and said: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's actually a place that ordinary people can't go to. It's a place where women's family members go to practice cultivation. It's amazing that someone caught them.
.”
"What are you shouting for?" Jia Baoyu thought of the hustle and bustle at home and the lively Shi Xiangyun. Thinking that she was alone in the temple, he couldn't rest assured. He sighed: "I watched from a distance and stayed with her.
.It can be considered that we, brother and sister, have had a good time."
Mingyan swallowed and finally nodded. After a while, he walked around the outside of the city. He just said that he couldn't find it and refused to talk about it today. He didn't dare to risk the disapproval of the world.
But he said that when Jia Mu saw a good girl, she wanted to stay with her, and said, "Tell girl Qin to live with me."
Xue Biao hurriedly answered: "Don't disturb the old lady. We are here today to say hello to the old lady. Because the Mei family knew that we were coming to Beijing, they had already asked people to clean up the other courtyard and come out. If we don't go, we will go out.
It's not good. Please forgive me, old lady."
Aunt Xue's expression changed and she said, "If you go to Beijing and don't live with me and your brother, what are you talking about living outside?"
"Look what you said, you and your brothers and sisters are causing trouble to others, how can we cause trouble too? We also have a shop in the capital, so it is not difficult to arrange a house and a place to live. Just thinking about it,
The Mei family took the initiative to arrange it, but it doesn't make sense for us not to go." Xue Biao said with a smile. He originally planned to stay at the Jia family. Who would have thought that he would receive news from the shopkeeper in the capital on the way. First, the Jia family is now far behind.
That's the past. Secondly, what happened to the girl from the Shi family must be taken as a lesson. There is no room for failure in the Mei family's marriage.
Xue Baochai laughed and said: "How can you live in the man's house first without passing the door? This is against the rules."
Xue Baoqin looked at Xue Baochai with a rather strange look, pursed his lips and smiled, and stopped talking. But the meaning was expressed very clearly. Xue Baochai suddenly became embarrassed, lowered his head and said nothing.
Mother Jia couldn't help but think of what happened in Xiangyun, and she naturally knew why people were avoiding her. The smile on her face suddenly faded and she said, "Then I won't stay."
Xue Biao and Xue Baoqin took the opportunity to say goodbye, but Yuanyang sent someone to send them out. Seeing that something was wrong, Li Wan took his sister-in-law and Li Min and Li Qi back to his yard. Anyway, he was a chaste woman and his niece lived with him.
It's no big deal.
The eldest wife asked Xing Xiyan to go with Yingchun, which was considered decent. No matter how stupid Xing Xiyan was, his eyes could still read, and he didn't know where there might be an incredible story. He could only follow Yingchun closely, and he didn't dare to be casual.
say.
The old lady's originally sunny mood was completely disturbed by the ignorance of the two Xue brothers and sisters. The joyful scene soon broke up.
Lin Yuyang came back from outside in a hurry and said to Lin Yutong: "Sister, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Why are you so busy? You should be polite and tell me specifically." Lin Yutong handed over the stewed mutton soup, "Drink it first and then talk."
"Well, I have a classmate. His uncle came to the capital with the girl who was engaged to him. Because he was related to the Jia family, he didn't dare to ask anyone to live in the Jia family. But when he arrived in the capital, he didn't
I can't even socialize. So, please let me tell my sister if I can leave a post for that girl next time..." Lin Yuyang drank the soup and slowly explained the reason.
"What's your classmate's last name?" Lin Yutong asked.
"The surname is Mei, and his father is from the Hanlin Academy." Lin Yuyang said.
Mei Hanlin, the betrothed family has some connections with the Jia family. Lin Yutong immediately knew who he was talking about. It turned out to be Xue Baoqin. According to the original work, Xue Baoqin was a rare girl who had a good outcome. The picture of red plum blossoms in the snow, the vast white earth
After it was really clean, the red plum blossoms in the snow looked even more beautiful. This was not a good sign.
Even when King Xue Du of Jia Shi was defeated, the Mei family still fulfilled their engagement. Obviously, the family's moral character was still good. My younger brother's friends were actually the sons of the Mei Hanlin family. I had to sigh that this world is really small. Besides,
, Xue Baoqin is not an annoying girl. This matter can be solved with a little effort. I think this young master of the Mei family is extremely satisfied with Xue Baoqin. Otherwise, he would not have such a laborious arrangement to make friends with the Lin family.
Well, being on good terms with yourself is a source of confidence for Xue Baoqin.
Lin Yutong sent her younger brother back to her room. In the past two days, she had been a little anxious because the recipes transmitted back had no results yet. Was there a malfunction or some other reason? How could she not be worried about this?
.
After finally staying up until night, Lin Yutong couldn't bear the feeling of waiting and sent another inquiring message. This time the message was replied very quickly.
Because they are all pharmaceutical formulas, many experiments, including clinical trials, are required to know whether they can be used with confidence and what their value is. As for when there will be news, the company does not know. Just wait and see with peace of mind.
Lin Yutong almost burst into tears. He spent his whole life in the Red Mansion and only spent a week outside. In other words, after spending his whole life, there may not be any results outside.
This kind of work efficiency is really intoxicating.
The trouble made Lin Yutong a little discouraged. Now, he can only collect it first. As for whether it can be used, that can only be said later. It turns out that it is not a simple matter to add a few zeros to his account.
If you only think about things over there, you won't be able to do anything else in your life.
She comforted herself and said: Anyway, I have earned a lot of money in this life.
The days passed leisurely and leisurely, gradually calming down Lin Yutong's anxiety. After a few heavy snowfalls, we entered the twelfth lunar month. The New Year is approaching.
During these days, a major event happened in the capital. The prince of Nan'an County was demoted to a commoner, and his family was sent to Liaodong. Such a fate in such a cold winter month. On the day they left the capital, those so-called old friends of the four princes and eight princes
, not a single one was seen. However, a few servants who had received favors took cotton-padded clothes and quilts, gave him money, arranged for the servants, and sent the old master out of the capital.
After Jia Zheng learned about the result of Nan'an County Prince, he didn't dare to delay for a day and hurriedly set out on the road. Now he really didn't have the qualifications to be willful. Jia's mother said nothing and asked Yuanyang to pawn a few good items.
He brought enough money to Jia Zheng, and gave him two young and beautiful girls to serve him, and then he asked the right people to send him to take office. He was a little sad, and he couldn't live at home for even a year.
As for Jia Yucun, because he was also involved in the Nan'an County Prince's business of reselling military rations, Lin Ruhai didn't bother much and beat him back to his original form. In this case, even the Nan'an County Prince was deprived of his title, let alone
He is a person with no foundation. He is sentenced to be executed as a prisoner, and he doesn’t have many days left to live.
Because Jia Yucun had something to do with the Jia family, everyone in the Jia family was so frightened that they fell silent. Jia's mother even fell ill. She was not really old and confused. The incident with the prince of Nan'an County vaguely revealed the emperor's attitude toward these veterans.
What she was thinking was that she could do this to the Prince of Nan'an today, and she could do this to the Jia family tomorrow. This uneasiness made her restless at night. In a few days, she became a little sleepy.
Jia Lian was alone in Ping'er's room, drinking a small drink happily.
That night, Wang Xifeng started the operation. Xiaohong didn't alert anyone. She quietly brought in the midwife whom Jia Yun had found in advance, and then sent for a doctor.
Jia Lian drank a few glasses of wine, and then pressed Ping'er to ask her to drink a few glasses of wine with her. She fell into a very deep sleep. Wang Xifeng was afraid that someone was playing tricks on her, so she kept silent and asked Xiao Hong to guard the yard.
Just before dawn, a loud cry of a baby woke Jia Lian up.
"What's the sound?" Jia Lian sat up suddenly. When he heard the cry of a baby, his expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "My ancestor has actually given birth."
Regardless of what happened, he grabbed his cloak and went out. The child's cry became clearer and louder. His heart suddenly warmed up, and he didn't feel cold even when the cold wind blew on his face.
"Give birth!" Jia Lian looked at the people coming in and out of the main room, but he didn't panic at all. He felt a rare feeling of guilt. Then he heard the sound of congratulations coming from the main room.
"Congratulations to grandma, congratulations to grandma for giving birth to my brother safely."
"He's a brother. Grandma will have someone to rely on in the future."
Jia Lian's mind was full of 'Brother', and he laughed happily, "Second Grandma, thank you for your hard work. I bowed to Grandma outside. Second Grandma is the hero."
Wang Xifeng's whole body ached, but she was in good spirits. She winked and asked Xiaohong to answer, while she held the child in her arms and watched.
Ping'er heard the commotion when Jia Lian got up. She couldn't run out disheveled like Jia Lian. After simply washing up and going out, she heard Xiao Hong replying to Jia Lian, "... mother and son are both safe. Brother is six pounds.
Ba Liang, he is a strong brother... It started in the middle of the night. We called the second master several times outside the door, but no one answered. Grandma said there was no need to alarm... Tian Gang made a mistake, and grandma gave birth. It went smoothly.
It's time for the second master and Aunt Ping to prepare to announce the good news to everyone. Grandma said that she is short-tempered and can't take care of these things. Let the second master take care of the arrangements."
"Tell grandma not to worry, I'm here." Ping'er answered: "It's me who deserves to die, I'm fast asleep."
Xiaohong smiled and said: "Grandma said yesterday that no one can help her with the birth of a child. It is useless to guard her. This is not to alarm people anymore."
The Jia family received good news early in the morning. Mistress Lian gave birth to a brother, and the eldest family also had a grandson. Jia She was even more happy and asked someone to carry a box of antiques from his collection, and he only asked someone to give it to Wang Xifeng to keep.
A meeting gift for children.
Jia Mu recited the Buddha's name and said, "Girl Feng is now considered to be perfect. She is blessed to have both children."
Yuanyang smiled and said: "Second Grandma is getting more and more trouble-free now, and no one is alarmed. When she heard the news that she had given birth, she even scared me."
Jia Mu smiled but didn't say anything. She didn't understand something in her heart. Girl Feng was afraid that someone had evil intentions. Thinking of Mrs. Wang and Baoyu being trapped in the nightmare, she really didn't dare to say that there weren't people with ulterior motives in this family.
people.
Lin Yutong received the letter from Xiaohong and sent someone to send a real congratulatory gift. He also informed Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu wrote several prescriptions for postpartum care and asked them to be sent over.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, it was the busy time for the New Year. Jia Lian, who was named Jia Gui's son, did not have much fun. Wang Xifeng didn't care. The affairs of the Nan'an County Prince's Palace made her see Jia Lian.
The future of her family. How to protect her children and how to let her children live out their lives safely is what she has to worry about.
This year's Chinese New Year is the second reunion year for the Lin family. In the first year, everyone in the family was still strangers to each other. Now they are familiar with each other and get along very well, but Lin Ruhai still can't help but feel sad, "This year
The three of you are accompanying me as a father. Next year, Tong'er will probably have to spend the New Year at someone else's house. This is called father's heart, and it will never feel better no matter what."
Lin Yutong poured a glass of wine and handed it over, saying, "When Brother Yang gets married and gives birth to your grandchildren, I'm afraid you won't want to see me come back."
Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "That's true."
The joyful atmosphere of the New Year had not lasted until the Lantern Festival, but there was a funeral in the palace. The old concubine Zhen died... (. )
