Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

"Is it like in my daughter's dream?"

"more or less."

"Grandfather is so pitiful! Grandmother and uncle are also pitiful. Is there no other way?"

Sister Feng shook her head.

"Then what happened later? How did grandfather change?"

"Later, later, until your mother was pregnant with your younger brother and was drugged... Your grandfather was not willing to let your father be cut off from all children and grandchildren, and separated from the old lady."

"They don't want Daddy to have a son, is it because of that title?"

"A man is not good enough to a certain extent, so he misses the ancestral property of the family. Your uncle Enyin became an official, and in 20 years he has only been a fifth-rank official. The phoenix egg born with jade is pampered by the old lady." It’s not looking good, if you don’t have this title, after your great-grandmother dies, they will have to move out of Rongguo Mansion, and they will gradually decline like those side branches on Ningrong Street.”

"So you don't want your mother to give birth to your younger brother? Great-grandmother is too partial."

"That's right, she's too biased. It's said that being partial to her children won't help her. The last scene of her old age justified that."

Jia Ying remembers that her father took care of her great-grandmother's funeral.My family also served my great-grandmother in filial piety.

"Then why ransack the house?" Jia Ying had too many questions to ask.

"The Rongguo Mansion is declining day by day, with more output and less income. Your great-grandmother cared about her own enjoyment. In order to maintain the family, and to deal with the servants in the palace who came to borrow money, your great-grandmother set aside usury. After the concubine Xiande passed away, the imperial censor impeached the Rongguo Mansion for exploiting profiteering, indulging slaves and committing crimes, killing chaste women and other illegal things. No matter what kind of family is involved in usury, they will not be able to escape punishment.”

Ying'er nodded, "Mother, my daughter knows that you can't use usury at any time, lest your children and grandchildren suffer retribution. But, mother, in my daughter's dream, it was you who gave us usury."

"Do you think my mother is that kind of person? Where can I not earn money, I have to get rid of that karma. I want to accumulate evil virtue."

Jia Ying nodded, yes, there are many ways for my mother to make money, so I don't need to use usury.

"Mother, is there really such a thing as slavery and murder, killing a chaste woman?"

"Ying'er, slaves don't need to be manipulated. As long as their masters gain power, those slaves will go out with arrogance. If you can't talk down others by three points, that's not okay. When you meet those who refuse to give in, you can No fight? As for the accidental killing of a feisty woman, it’s too far away, the master doesn’t know about it. But why was no one impeached at that time?”

"Mother, are you saying that those censors also bully the weak and fear the hard, and fear the power?"

"It's right to be afraid of toughness and power. You know you're an egg, but you still knock it against a stone. That's courting death! But bullying the soft is unnecessary. You already knew this truth, so you don't need to talk about it."

Jia Ying nodded repeatedly.

"So, in that sentence, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. It's not that you don't report it, it's not time. Once you lose power, Yu Shi will naturally jump out to impeach him, and he will pick a soft persimmon."

"Yes, yes, mother is right."

The two mothers talked for half an afternoon, and Ping'er came in and said: "The Cheng family sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that Aunt Lin had been paralyzed early in the morning, and she couldn't be woken up. The imperial doctor invited several, but it was useless. Please The wife and the eldest girl are going to meet people."

Sister Feng was so frightened that she packed up with her daughter and rushed to Cheng's mansion with people.

The Cheng residence was shrouded in a gloomy mist.As soon as Sister Feng arrived with her daughter, they were ushered into the courtyard of Cheng Tai and Daiyu.Cheng Yin's wife stayed in Daiyu's room with her eldest daughter-in-law.Seeing Sister Feng coming in a hurry, she stood up.

Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Auntie, please sit down quickly, I am a junior, how dare I do it."

After the two greetings, Sister Feng asked about Daiyu.

Mrs. Cheng had tears in her eyes, "Early in the morning, the second child went to work. Seeing that Daiyu was sleeping deeply, she didn't let anyone call her, and even told people not to disturb her, and let her sleep well. But around noon, the maid came back after seeing Daiyu." There was no movement, and I went in to call again, but I couldn’t wake up. I was so scared that the maid cried and reported the letter. I couldn’t help but send a letter to Uncle Cheng. I invited several imperial physicians to check the pulse. .But sleep, there is no one who can't wake up. I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch. At this time, it's almost dinner."

After listening, Sister Feng comforted Mrs. Cheng not to worry, and went into the bedroom to have a look by herself.

Mrs. Cheng asked the maid to take Sister Feng, mother and daughter to Daiyu's bedroom.

As soon as she stepped into the door, Sister Feng smelled a faint fragrance.She sniffled and asked the maid following, "What kind of incense is this? Why have I never smelled it before?"

The one who led the way was a second-class maid. She stopped and stood by the door and said, "This incense is brought back by the second young lady when she went to Tanzhe Temple to worship yesterday. The second young lady said that the smell is special. Yesterday Come back and start ordering."

Sister Feng frowned. Today is the Ghost Festival, and the gates of hell are wide open.It is said that this day is very cloudy, why go to worship at this time.Still light such a strange incense, don't be contaminated with something.

Xueyan, who followed Daiyu, had already given birth to two children, and now she is the nurse in charge of Daiyu's house.When she saw Sister Feng, she shed tears before she could say a word.

"Second wife, our girl..."

"Don't cry, this incense is very weird. You remove the incense first, and open the window to disperse the smell."

"Yes." Xueyan has always been afraid of Sister Feng.As soon as Sister Feng said, she immediately moved out the incense burner and so on by herself.

Sister Feng walked to Daiyu's bed, the curtains were half covered, Daiyu's face was like snow, her red lips were as bright as clouds and green spread by the pillow, she looked as if she was deeply asleep.

Sister Feng is used to seeing Daiyu's appearance, so she still wants to praise her at this time, she is Sleeping Beauty!

"Cousin, cousin."

Daiyu lying on the bed didn't respond at all.

Sister Feng stretched out her hand to pinch Daiyu, but there was still no reaction at all.Are you really asleep?

Xueyan opened the window and went to Sister Feng again.

"Xueyan, find someone to send Ying'er out."

"Yes."

Xueyan understood what Sister Feng meant, and immediately took everyone out by sending Yinger out.

Ying'er didn't want to leave, but seeing her mother stare, she immediately went out obediently.

Sister Feng took advantage of this time to feed Daiyu some spiritual spring water, but fortunately, she could still swallow.Sister Feng thought about it, pinched Daiyu's ankle, pulled out the hairpin on her head, and gently stroked from the outer edge of the sole of the foot forward from the heel to the bulge at the base of the little toe, and then turned to the inner side until it was near the big toe.Daiyu's toes quickly plantarflexed.Fortunately, Babinski's sign was negative.

So why is this?

Sister Feng frowned in thought. Xueyan came in and happened to see Daiyu frowning, as if she was in pain.

Xueyan tugged at Sister Feng's sleeve in surprise, "Second Wife, hurry, hurry, look, the girl is frowning."

"Cousin, cousin, wake up, wake up."

Sister Feng saw that Daiyu was struggling, but she just couldn't wake up.

"Xueyan, your girl is not sick, she was caught by a nightmare. She is fighting to wake up. Go, quickly bring your girl's three children over and make them cry hard."

What Sister Feng said is right, Daiyu is being haunted now.She dreamed that after she returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, she dreamed that the Rongguo Mansion was building a family-visiting villa, that Yuanchun was visiting relatives, that she was helping Baoyu weed grass and reminding Baoyu to write poems... and even the things that Yuanchun rewarded later were only Baochai's is the same as Baoyu's.There is also an imperial edict to let everyone move into the Grand View Garden...

Afterwards, things became more and more chaotic——

How can I fall in love with Baoyu?I also made such a sad funeral poem.How funny!

"360 days a year, swords, winds, frosts and swords force each other... The flower burial people are laughing like crazy, but who will be buried in the next year?"

It's really funny, how could I do such a nosy thing as burying flowers? !The second sister-in-law said earlier, what's the matter with Luohua, Luohong is not a heartless thing, turned into spring mud to protect flowers.If you have the time to mourn the spring and hurt the autumn, it is better to go to the lake and see if the summer lotus can bloom sooner.Autumn is here, what's so sad, think about the golden osmanthus in autumn, the fragrance of the trees, and think about the fruitful fruits of autumn...

But Daiyu watched herself in the Grand View Garden, falling in love with Baoyu day by day...Because of Baoyu's involvement with other people, she wept sadly...She was so ashamed that she wanted to go forward and shake herself awake.How can this be?how can that be possible?I and my husband are deeply in love, and the harp sings together. Now that there are two sons and one daughter, how can I marry Baochai for Baoyu? I am so angry that I burned poems, tore veils, and finally died in tears. ...

Daiyu was extremely angry and could not speak, but her dizziness became more and more serious.He couldn't move forward drowsily, seeing himself vomiting blood, but there was nothing he could do.Suddenly, there was a gust of breeze, and then there was an itchy feeling on the soles of the feet.

"Mother, mother, mother"

"Mother, wake up, wake up, wake up."

The cries of several childish children, high and low, came to Daiyu's ears.

Daiyu understood that this was her own child, her eldest daughter crying, urging herself to wake up; the dry mother-in-law was her eldest son, and the doll was crying her second son.

As for the nanny, why don't you let the baby cry? !

Mrs. Cheng watched as Sister Feng brought her granddaughter and grandson to the second daughter-in-law's bed to cry.The second daughter-in-law, who hadn't moved much all day, began to show signs of struggle on her sleeping face, her brows were tightly frowned, and her eyes rolled, as if they would open in an instant.

Mrs. Cheng called out in a low voice: "Daiyu, Daiyu, wake up quickly, wake up. You see the children are crying."

Daiyu struggled harder and harder.

Sister Feng leaned over and shouted loudly in Daiyu's ear: "Cousin, if you don't wake up, your daughter will lose her mother just like you. Your son is younger than when your brother died. Daiyu, you If you don't wake up, your daughter will be the same as when you were a child."

"No, I can't." I can't let my daughter, like me, depend on others and watch people's faces. "No, you can't."

With all her strength, Daiyu suddenly opened her eyes.What came into view was his precious daughter, his eldest son, the heir to the Lin family, and the youngest son who was hugged in the arms of the nanny, crying and reaching out to him without knowing anything.

"Amitabha." Mrs. Cheng recited the Buddha's name and finally woke up. It's great.
