Honglou Xing

Seeing the blood all over the ground, Yin Chuan screamed in fright, and hurried to call the doctor.

Mrs. Wang scolded her to stop, and weakly ordered her to clean up the blood on her hands and the ground first.Mrs. Wang is afraid of blood, and even more afraid of the omen brought by this blood.Recently, her body has become more and more numb, and she doesn't know the pain, but she has no strength and can't move.She only sleeps with her eyes closed every day, which is the most beautiful time of her day, and she will feel ecstatic in her dreams.But as soon as she opened her eyes, seeing everything in the room was lifeless, thinking about the future of Rongguo Mansion, thinking about the decline of the second room, she really wanted to die immediately.

But when Mrs. Wang saw the pool of blood and expected that she was really going to die, she felt so much unwillingness in her heart.She had just met Mrs. Xing, and that woman would not look old, on the contrary, she would live younger and younger.The cleverness of speaking, but also a little rebellious, like a proud plum blossom, makes people want to stop.

Once upon a time, she was such a wealthy and romantic person.

At this time, Yinchuan raised her hand, and carefully wiped the blood on Mrs. Wang's hand with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Wang took advantage of the situation and looked down at her sallow and old hand. Is this still her own?Mrs. Wang hasn't gotten out of bed to look in the mirror for a long time.Now she knows the face from the hands, and she is even more afraid to look at her own appearance.Mrs. Wang raised her hand tremblingly, and touched her dry face. The skin was rough, and flakes would fall off when she touched it.

Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she covered her face and began to cry.Because of her weak body, she coughed continuously after crying twice.Yinchuan hurriedly comforted Mrs. Wang, for fear that she would vomit blood again.

Mrs. Wang was also afraid, so she took a breath and forced herself to be quiet.She just took the medicine, and Mrs. Wang feels much better now, and she is a little light-headed.Seeing that Mrs. Wang was sleepy, Yin Chuan hurriedly helped her to lie down, straightened her posture, and covered Mrs. Wang with a quilt.

Mrs. Wang gradually felt tired, she closed her eyes, her whole body seemed to be floating in the air, going up and down, it felt amazing.Gradually, Mrs. Wang gradually fell asleep amidst the extreme ecstasy of excitement.

Yinchuan looked at Mrs. Wang's skinny face and sighed.Not to mention Mr. Zheng, even a maid like her would want to vomit just looking at her like this.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

As soon as Yin Chuan thought of Mr. Zheng, when he left the house, he saw Mr. Zheng rushing in and went straight to Mrs. Wang's resting place in the back room.Yin Chuan hurriedly called Jia Zheng to stop, and persuaded him, "The second wife just took the medicine and just fell asleep."

Jia Zheng frowned, as if he didn't like the news very much.He stood there with a dark face for a long while, then sighed in disgust, turned around and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The difficult ancestors were finally sent away, and Yin Chuan gained temporary peace.After finishing the chores, she waited outside to eat melon seeds and relax a little.At this time, the old nanny from Mrs. Wang's natal family came again, and when she saw her eating, she scolded her head and face.

Yin Chuan was used to this, so he didn't bother to pay attention to her, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and continued to knock.

"You dead whore, I told you to serve the master, you didn't hear what I said, and you're still eating here."

Yingchun glanced at her, and sneered: "A few days ago, the eldest lady rewarded you with a plate. How did you eat? Why didn't you kill me? Why did you still survive and squeeze us little slaves? I worked all morning and didn't even eat. Just get a few melon seeds to fill your stomach, and you still think I'm a bitch. If you are capable, old ancestor, you come to serve the second wife, don't stand there and talk lightly."

"You... See if I'm not going back, ma'am, I'll break your leg!"

Nanny believed that she was from Mrs. Wang's natal family, and she was beaten by the Xing family earlier, so she hated the Jia family even more in her heart.However, she is a slave, and she has no way to treat her master, so she resorted to tricks to get angry at those little maids.

The low-ranking maids were still angry with him at first, but later the second wife became seriously ill and couldn't do anything about it, and this nanny was recognized as a scumbag by everyone, so no one was afraid of her.After all, she dared to speak but dared not to act. She could only curse people with her mouth open, and she simply regarded her as a moving dung ball.

Yin Chuan is not afraid of anyone anymore.To put it in a chilling way, she has served Mrs. Wang enough.She has been serving Mrs. Wang all these years, and she is not as comfortable as serving a pig.

A few days ago, Yin Chuan begged her mother to come with the money she saved.Her mother consulted with Lian's second grandma. As soon as Mrs. Wang left, her mother could redeem her body and take her away.Second Mistress Lian was a kind person, she agreed straightforwardly, and promised that she would not have to use ransom money.

Yin Chuan has been serving Mrs. Wang for so many years in a daze, and finally feels that life has something to look forward to.These days, every day when she wants to come to bed, she prays for the same thing, that is, she hopes that Mrs. Wang will die early and die as soon as possible.At that time, it will not only be her maidservant who will be liberated, but everyone in the second room and the same ticket.

Die now!

Yin Chuan squinted at the door of the back room, and cursed again.

The nanny had had enough scolding, went into the room to see Mrs. Wang, and came out in the blink of an eye, coughing twice.She glanced at Yin Chuan guiltily, pointed at her, told her to wait, and then ran away.

……

Mrs. Xing listened to his daughter-in-law Liu's brief talk about the situation in the mansion, and heard her say that many servant girls in the second room asked for redemption.Xing said with a smile: "As I told you in the past, those who are willing to leave, and those who have family members to lead them, let them go, and we don't want money to redeem them. Those who have no family members will judge their merits and demerits. If they have done their duty, Just give me some money."

When it comes to money, the Xing family will not pretend to be generous, nor will they be too stubborn.In the end, it is possible to save as much as possible, and to properly consider human touch, so it will be safe.

When Xing and Liu arrived at Jiamu's place, they happened to hear that Jiamu was awake.After Mrs. Xing asked about the mandarin ducks, she got the consent of the old lady, and Fang came in to see her.

Mother Jia half leaned on the cushion, her eyes half-opened, and she looked at Xing Shi and Liu Shi weakly.

"You two came to see me, but is there something wrong?" Jia Mu's voice trembled, with a hint of hoarseness.

Xing quickly smiled and said: "It's nothing, my wife is just here to take your granddaughter-in-law, and I'm here to greet you."

"That's right, that's good." Mother Jia laughed, breathing intermittently.

Seeing that Jia Mu is unable to do what she wants, Mrs. Xing is considering whether to quit early to avoid Jia Mu being tired and sad.Unexpectedly, Jia Mu suddenly asked about Mrs. Wang's condition. "But I haven't seen her for a long time."

"She's still sick, and mother doesn't know about her? If you have a strong mind, you'll get angry easily. That's why you've been ill for a long time." Mrs. Xing only explained to Jia Mu why Mrs. Wang had been ill for a long time, but cleverly avoided talking about Mrs. Wang. present condition.

When Jia's mother heard this, she thought that Mrs. Wang was fine, so she felt a little relieved.Mother Jia recalled the abolishment of the title that the Xing family had mentioned to herself a few days ago, and excitedly took her daughter-in-law's hand, and persuaded her gently: "The title that our ancestors gave to us younger generations who worked so hard for the world, is so easy to leave behind. You can't lose it."

Xing was furious because of Jia Mu's illness, so she arranged for people to block the news earlier, and kept the matter of the Rong family's cutting of the nobles from her.

Now, in order to coax the old lady, Xing could only nod perfunctorily to her.

Jia's mother was happy and her spirits were a little better. She said to Xing, "Brother Can will come and let me have a look. This child can walk, right?"

Mrs. Xing nodded with a smile: "You are talented, you can't walk well if you stumble. Mother, don't worry, he will come to see you often in the future. I am not busy these days, and there is nothing to do in the house. You haven't seen it yet." What does your eldest son's mansion look like, I'll take you to have a look?"

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, and somewhat understood Xing's meaning.She took a few weak breaths and said with a smile: "Don't think I'm old and foolish, you just fool me. Don't think I don't know how my disease is? I don't know my own body, my wife is dying. "

Xing was stunned for a moment, looking at Jia Mu who was pale but full of smiles, feeling inexplicably sad.Although this old lady often gets confused, she is still selfish, partial, and self-righteous.But when she took away all her sharp minions and became a weak old lady dying of illness, she was really pitiful.

What's more, what she once wanted to protect the Rongfu all her life, the title, is now gone.It is indeed a tragic thing for an old lady to spend the days before her death in a lie under the deception of others.

Jia Mu suddenly said in a sonorous tone, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just dying here!"

"Old lady!" Yuanyang couldn't help weeping, and said something to prevent the old man from saying "death" again.

Jia Mu didn't hold back, she looked at Xing Shi angrily, and said to Xing Shi, "Don't think I don't know what kind of tricks you and your wife are trying to play? Do you think I will write a letter to abolish the nobles after I leave the Rong Mansion? Let me tell you, no! I must stay here, live in Rong Mansion, die in Rong Mansion, this is the glory of my life."

"Mother, you are worrying too much. My daughter-in-law doesn't mean that. If that's the case, then my daughter-in-law will bring Brother Can back to live." Xing said without hesitation.

Mother Jia calmed down, looked at Mrs. Xing, and nodded.

"Baoyu just got married, it's not convenient for him to come and see you, you..."

"You don't need him to come. Their young couples are getting married. It's not easy to get sick. Let them have a good life and give me a little great-grandson, and I will be satisfied." Jia Mu mentioned Baoyu, her face couldn't help Filled with a faint smile.

Xing nodded with a smile, as long as Baoyu doesn't come.The child was a little silly, and she was afraid that Baoyu would miss something.

Mother Jia sighed and became very calm.

Xing secretly observed that Jia's mother seemed to be thinking about something, and it was hard to say goodbye, so she just accompanied her quietly.

"I don't have anything worth seeing. I'm old. It's time to prepare for my funeral. I should share my things with you two."

"Mother, please don't say such things, or my daughter-in-law will be angry with you." Xing said angrily.

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment, but it was the first time she saw her eldest daughter-in-law acting like a spoiled child to her.Feeling happy for a moment, I nodded.Left and right, she is in good spirits now, so it's okay to wait another two days.

At noon, Jia Zheng came while pinching Mrs. Wang to take medicine.This time he bumped into him, and Wang was awake, not asleep.

Seeing that Jia Zheng had something to say, Mrs. Wang waved away Baochai who was serving her.Jia Zheng took a special look at Mrs. Wang, and waited for Baochai to leave before asking how she was doing.

"How about what?"

"You still pretend to be confused with me!" Jia Zheng said anxiously, wanting to scold his mother, "Of course it's a matter of raising money to buy a house. We are still short of 5000 taels of silver. Where can we get it? People can say, this house can be given to us Stay until the end of the month, and if you don’t buy it, the price will increase. In the future, in the capital, I am afraid that we will never find such a house that suits our identities, the size is the same, and the ground is suitable.”

Madam Wang lowered her eyes, knowing that Jia Zheng was urging her to borrow money from Xue's family in a disguised form.But she was at the end of her rope, no matter how much she tormented Baochai recently, this girl obeyed her in everything except not paying.That's someone's dowry, how can she grab it?What can be done? "Master, why don't you borrow it from your elder brother first?"

"Brother?" Jia Zheng gave Mrs. Wang a horrified look, extremely disappointed in her.If he can take down his face and borrow it from his eldest brother, would he need to force her, a troublesome woman, these days?

Before Jia Zheng could answer, Mrs. Wang found her place in Jia Zheng's disgusted eyes.

Mrs. Wang slowly closed her eyes, shed a few tears in despair, and sneered.

Jia Zheng was frightened by Mrs. Wang's current appearance, took a few steps back in surprise, and looked at Mrs. Wang vigilantly, worrying if she suffered from some kind of insanity again.

Mrs. Wang had laughed enough, opened her eyes, moved her chapped lips and said to Jia Zheng: "Well, I'll ask someone to go to the palace to try it out tomorrow. Master, I still remember that my mother promised to go to the palace before she left. Give us back the money spent on the construction of the Grand View Garden. That’s not a small sum, as long as the master can hide it from the Xue family..."

"That's right, why didn't I think of that? You're so smart. I'll find a way to send someone a message." Jia Zheng said excitedly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Mrs. Wang became bright.

Mrs. Wang was not happy when she saw this, but felt ironic in her heart.In the final analysis, I am just a "man in charge" married by Jia Zheng, and I have no relationship between husband and wife at all.

Her whole life was full of failures and regrets.

The next day, the little eunuch who had spoken to Concubine Xiande sneaked in.When Eunuch Zhou heard about it, he hurried to ask his master what he meant.

When Jia Yuanchun heard this, he said coldly, "No, send me away!"
