New Dream of Red Mansions

Xia Yuntian smiled and said: "Wang Ziteng is just worried about the Jia family. As long as Concubine Jia still supports Concubine Qu in the palace, Wang Ziteng will feel relieved. He is just planning for a rainy day, so you don't have to mind too much." After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's talk to your sister about this matter. She is not as ignorant as ordinary boudoir girls on these matters."

Brother Yu felt a little sad, because he didn't know why the uncle would get involved with Jia's mansion and the concubine Jia in the palace when he was looking for him.

Xia Yuntian didn't pay attention, but just patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your biggest task now is to study hard. As long as you are promising, no one will be able to bully you and your sister at will." This is one of the reasons why he admires Wang Xiyan very much.

Brother You finally told her sister about it, Xiyan turned cold first, and said angrily: "Since something like this happened, why didn't you come back and look for sister, but Xia Yuntian instead?"

It can be seen that I am really angry, my sister used to call him Pingyanghou.

Brother Yu shrank his neck, "I'm afraid that my sister will be worried, and I'm also afraid that my sister will confront you again."

Xiyan narrowed her eyes, "Did something bad be said outside?"

Brother Yu didn't expect his sister to be so alert, he subconsciously shook his head and said, "No." He lowered his head under his sister's gaze.

Brother Yu had no choice but to say: "There's nothing outside, just a few relatives say that my sister is hot and scheming, she dares to stand up to uncles, aunts and uncles at a young age..."

Xiyan sneered, "If I don't stand up to them, why don't I let them tear it down and eat it, and I still have to be grateful to them?" After a pause, she continued: "Don't worry about it, they can say it if they want, If they dare to spread the word, I dare to use Wang Ziteng's misappropriation of my nephew's property as an example."

Brother Yu lowered his head.

Xiyan sighed, "It's also my fault. I just let you study and didn't teach you many things. In the past, I thought you were too young and unnecessary. When you get older, you will understand even if I don't teach you." Now it seems that it is to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of this to make trouble. Don't take Wang Ziteng's threat to heart. At most, he suspects that his father has left us something secretly. Manager Zhuang only manages a few shops in the capital, and he just knows It's okay, and he doesn't have the heart to deal with us at this time, he is just afraid that the Jia family will join the Xia family, as long as the concubine Jia in the palace does not move, he will not move."

Brother Yu blinked, Cousin Xia said the same thing.

Xiyan took the opportunity to teach him, "You have to remember that a politician will do something out of self-interest. Wang Ziteng is a qualified and powerful politician. He is the one who abolished the prince. Although the abolished prince is banned now, but There is a circle of people outside. I heard that he intends to betroth the fourth sister and the third son of the Ou family. In the palace, Concubine Jia is following the lead of the noble concubine Ou. Now the sixth prince born by the noble concubine Ou is only one year old. The relationship between the Ou family and the Xia family is obvious. At this time, the Xia family came to celebrate the old lady's birthday, and recognized me on the spot as Mrs. Su's niece, and you and I grew up in the Jia family. Compared with the Wang family, Our affection for the Jia family may be even deeper." Although it is true that they do not have any deep affection, outsiders will definitely not think so.

Brother Yu immediately understood, "Is he using me to warn the Jia family?"

"That's right, so we don't talk about it and don't care about it. They can do whatever they like, as long as we keep our hands and feet clean and don't let him get caught."

Only now did Brother Yu feel relieved.

As Xiyan said, Wang Ziteng really didn't care about their shops in the capital. His younger brother is so shrewd. If he didn't secretly arrange something for his son and daughter, he wouldn't be at ease.It's just a few shops, now he doesn't care too much, and there is no need for people to say that he conspired to steal his nephew's property.

After winter, Lin Yuan and Brother Yu planned to set off for Gusu to prepare for the exam next year.This time Brother Yu is going to be a scholar, and Lin Yuan is going to be a candidate.

When Mother Jia heard about it, she asked someone to pack up a bunch of things for the two of them, and gave them 50 taels of silver for each.

This time, Lin Yuan went down so early to visit a few gentlemen introduced by Lin Ruhai. He hoped to pass this year.

And the two twin brothers were entrusted by him to the third grandfather and the sixth grandfather.

After everything was properly arranged, Lin Yuan set off with Brother Yu.

Xia Yuntian went to see Brother Yu off, and met Xiyan at the pier, Xiyan saluted and said: "Thank you for pointing out Brother Yu about the last time."

Xia Yuntian smiled and said: "You are his elder sister, so naturally you see him as a child, but when I see him, I really want to be alone. Now he is twelve or thirteen years old, this age is not too young in a family, You can't protect him forever."

Xiyan is silent, she can't help judging the children of this world by the age of her previous life, so whether it's for Brother Yu or the girls in the garden, she mostly cares for her, but now it seems that it is her negligence .

Xiyan nodded gratefully, "Thank you, I will think about it."

Xia Yuntian nodded, looked at the waiting carriage, and said, "Hurry up and get in the carriage, don't keep them waiting."

Today, only Xiyan, Daiyu, Lin's twins and Shenggeer came to see the two of them to the pier. Lin Hui and Lin Zhi stood by on horseback, while Daiyu and Shenggeer sat in the carriage and waited for her.

Xi Yan nodded, climbed into the carriage, and then motioned for the carriage to leave.

Daiyu asked curiously, "Who is that man? Why did you go down and talk to him?"

Xiyan took off the veiled cap and threw it aside, "He is my aunt's third son, the current Marquis of Pingyang. Brother You got along well with him, so I came to see him off."

Daiyu nodded.

As soon as they got off the bus at Ermenli, they ran into Sister Feng head-on.

Sister Feng laughed and said, "You guys are back. You only went out in the morning, and the old lady has been asking you five or six times since breakfast. Hurry up and tell your ancestors that they are safe, and let me relax."

Seeing that her face was a little tired, Daiyu said: "It can be seen that you are coaxing us, that is, the old ancestor called, isn't there a girl under there? Why do you want to run around? I think you are too busy with other things. , pushing things onto us.”

"You have a small mouth that won't forgive people." Sister Feng pinched Daiyu, then turned her head and smiled at Xiyan: "In the future, you can be counted on, our Brother Yu is going to become a scholar , and then there will be Master Xie Yuan, and then Master Number One Scholar."

Xiyan laughed and said, "You're talking nonsense again, how old is Brother Yu?"

The three of them went to Jia Mu's yard while talking and laughing.

After asking Mother Jia to go back, Xiyan said to Sister Feng: "Although the New Year is busy, you should also pay attention to your health. You still have one in your stomach now."

Sister Feng agreed, but Xiyan could see that she was just perfunctory, and sighed slightly in her heart.If she remembered correctly, Sister Feng's child was a boy, but she lost it early because she was busy.

Although Jia Lian is still lustful now, she is much better than before, probably because she has a real job, her daily life is more fulfilling, and she has less time to think about wrong ideas.

Xiyan hopes that Sister Feng can also change a little bit.

Xiyan had no choice but to find Ping'er, "You should try to persuade your master, how can you be so strong at this time? She has been married for a few years, and sister Qiao is five or six years old. She must have a younger brother." ? You also know that I have always known some medical principles. The last time I saw her face, I knew it was not good. It was just that I made her angry last time. I think I should tell you. "

Ping'er was moved, wondering: "I don't know? She also wants to stop and take a rest, but now everything at home is piled on her, and she can't help it."

Xiyan was a little discouraged, and waved her hand: "If you say so, then forget it, I just remind you for the sake of the sisters, it's up to you whether you want to listen."

Ping'er didn't expect Xiyan to change so quickly, and was a little stunned for a moment.

Xiyan sneered and said: "Your grandma is not the only one in this mansion. If she really wants to, there is nothing she can't do, but what's the trouble if you don't take care of things? It's just that everyone and everyone If you have different opinions, it’s fine if you don’t accept it.”

Ping'er heard what she said but didn't dare to take it lightly. She originally thought that Xiyan was just showing concern like everyone else.

When Ping'er returned to the courtyard, Sister Feng had just dismissed the steward. When she saw Duancha, she asked, "What's the matter with Miss Yan asking you to go?" It was rare for her to ask Ping'er to go there, and she was also a little curious.

Ping'er said Xiyan's words in detail, and finished: "I think what she said is also reasonable, grandma, why don't you talk to the old lady and let the wife and grandma take care of things?"

Sister Feng said indifferently, "I've dealt with even the most important scenes, but it's just Chinese New Year, so it doesn't matter if you're tired."

Ping'er hesitated, "It's just that Miss Yan understands medical principles, so she must have some basis for what she said, why don't we ask the imperial physician to come over tomorrow to have a look."

Sister Feng frowned, "Why is it so troublesome? How many people are staring at us now, as soon as we invite the imperial physician on the front foot, others will know about it on the back foot, and it's not sure how to arrange me when it spreads. It's okay, I will just pay more attention in the future."

But Sister Feng was still as usual, busy up and down every day, and she became popular in a few days, and Ping'er was shocked.In the past, Sister Feng would only need a bowl of anti-abortion medicine, but now that she has been stared at by Ping'er for three or two days, she also becomes a little nervous.

Ping'er cried: "Grandma, it's so easy to have this baby, but don't let anything happen to you. Miss Yan is right. In the future, you will be busy with more family affairs, but at this time it is the baby in your stomach." The most important thing is the child, otherwise if something really happens, you will be confinement, and there will be no one in the house to care about it."

Sister Feng was also a little scared, so she acquiesced to Ping'er to call the imperial physician. As soon as the imperial physician entered the courtyard, everyone in the house knew about it.

Mother Jia quickly sent someone over to ask, and when she learned that Sister Feng accidentally fell and moved her fetus, she quickly asked someone to open the box and take some warming things, and told her, "Let her have a good rest. Put the matter aside for now and let the wives worry about it."

The mandarin ducks took orders and left.

As soon as the mandarin ducks left, Sister Feng breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes looked a little tired, and she asked, "Have the people in the yard been arranged?"

"Don't worry, you fell inside the house, and I'm the only one watching, no one will suspect you."

Sister Feng sighed: "If people know that I'm just presiding over a New Year's ceremony and I'm so tired, then I don't know how to make arrangements for me."

Ping'er said: "It's also fortunate that we invited the imperial physician over, otherwise it would be really hard to keep the baby."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "It seems that my sister is not all fooling around, she has some skills. I didn't like the medicinal diet she learned before, but now it seems that I am short-sighted."

Ping'er smiled, but didn't respond.
