The days of living under the fence were extremely sad, and Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang were not the kind of people who could stay at their elder brother's house with shameless faces. The sister-in-law, Mrs. Xing's face was ugly, and Mrs. Wang didn't want to stay for a day. Jia Zheng bought it in a hurry. A three-entry courtyard, the family hastily moved in.The house is small, so the servants don't need so many servants anymore, the slaves who have their own livelihood are left alone first, all the maids and servants bought are rewarded to their original parents, and [-]% of the slaves who have children are sent out , leaving only a few honest and useful people.

Although Baochai is already a month old, she is still busy helping Mrs. Wang with cooking.Now she lives with Baoyu in the innermost one, the main room has three rooms, and Baoyu's aunts live in the side building. Since Xiren was sold, these people have stopped a lot, and Baoyu is still crazy. Silly, arguing to become a monk, or being a god, but he no longer likes to play with girls.The side room was still the kitchen, although it was noisy, there was nothing to do about it, but Baochai was at ease, and now she had pinned all her hopes on the fetus in her womb. .

The second entrance is the main house of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, with Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao living on both sides. Jia Huan still follows Aunt Zhao. Since Tanchun went to the frontier, Aunt Zhao has been depressed a lot, and there is no one to wipe her tears. It's better to be strong, so as to secretly compete with Mrs. Wang. After all, she is old, not sharp, and quieter.Besides, apart from Jia Zheng, the family really didn't have much to contend with.The outermost entrance is the living room, Jia Zheng's study and servants' rooms. This kind of arrangement was unimaginable in the past, but this house is the best that Jia Zheng can find that he can afford. house.

Mrs. Wang has nothing to rely on now. If she used to have the arrogance and toughness of being the daughter of the Wang family and the mistress of the Jia family, now the Wang family has been defeated, and those relatives who have returned to their original places have returned to their original places. Wang Ren in Beijing is Mrs. Wang’s nephew. My son, who is idle, eats and is lazy all day long, used to keep coming to Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng to ask for some pocket money. Since the second room of Jia's house had an accident and moved out of the house, this close relative has never been seen again.Her natal family no longer has any capital to make Mrs. Wang proud, and her husband is well known to Mrs. Wang. She knows that Jia Zheng has taken the crime of hiding the property of the Zhen family for the sake of face. In fact, she hates herself deeply in her heart. Jia Zheng fell in love with her, so she didn't have the time to fight with Aunt Zhao, so even though she was in the same courtyard and under the same roof, she didn't care about Jia Zheng staying in Aunt Zhao's room every night. , Turned a deaf ear to it, and only prayed in his own room every day.If she had free time, she would at most go to the backyard, talk to Baochai, look at Baoyu, and look at Baochai's growing belly, where her new hope lay.

However, since Li Wan got Jia Mu's words, it was as if she had received an imperial edict. The property she returned and what Jia Mu gave later was worth two or three thousand taels of silver, so she didn't go with Mrs. Wang either, and took her with her. Jia Languan went back to her mother's house.Soon, he bought a small courtyard near her natal home, closed the door, and ignored everyone. Guan Ziyan ordered Jia Lan to concentrate on studying in class, all he wanted was to make Lan'er stand out.The so-called "a lot of gossip at the widow's door", everyone wants to avoid this suspicion, so naturally no one bothers her.

Mrs. Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Although Jia's house was robbed of so many properties and belongings at once, those things would not have been in her hands, so naturally she didn't feel very distressed; I would like to see Mrs. Wang looking desperate and desperate, so she is refreshed and full of energy during this time.And now that she is in control of the family and power, she is even more stingy, spending every penny in half, even the daily movements between relatives and friends are counted to the slightest, and Jia's mansion is gradually declining.

Mother Jia was sober in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. After two serious illnesses, she had already reached the point of exhaustion. Although she didn't have many illnesses, she was losing weight day by day, and her spirit was also sluggish.Jia Amnesty is actually quite filial. Seeing his mother like this, he is also panicked. He is very attentive to ask doctors for medicine every day, but all the imperial doctors who have come to check the pulse can only shake their heads. Everyone in the Jia family knows that the old lady's day It's almost here.

Besides, Wang Xifeng, she has been ill for nearly a year, and she is like a medicine jar. Jia Lian hardly looked at her when she returned home.As a result, Wang Xifeng lost her usual prestige in her yard. Qiutong had already jumped up and abused her, and often pointed at Sang and scolded Huai outside the window, but Ping'er was loyal, popular, and had sharp quarrels. , did not retaliate.However, there are fewer and fewer people Wang Xifeng can instruct to move. When he opened his eyes, there were only Ping'er, Feng'er and Xiaohong in front of him.There is also her daughter, Qiaojie, standing by her side with tears in her eyes. Sometimes, if she didn't think that Qiaojie would be lonely and helpless, Wang Xifeng really wanted to die, but it was not possible.So although she was sick and groggy, she kept struggling to live, and secretly planned in her heart.

Not long after the beginning of spring, the weather was warm on this day. When she woke up in the morning, Ping'er came over and said, "Second Grandma, it's warm today, let's change into a jacket." Wang Xifeng didn't fall asleep for half the night. Nodding her head, Ping'er called Xiaohong to help Wang Xifeng change her clothes, poor Wang Xifeng was so skinny that her clothes were half a finger wide.After changing clothes for a while, Wang Xifeng said pantingly: "Ping'er, comb my hair. I feel better today. I want to go and pay my respects to the old lady." Looking in the mirror, it was much better than before.

Wang Xifeng struggled to stand up. The person who had been lying down for a long time couldn't help feeling dizzy when he stood up. Ping'er and Xiaohong hurriedly supported her. Wang Xifeng regained her composure and walked into Jiamu's yard.When they arrived at Jia Mu Yuan, Hu Po and others were taken aback when they saw her, and hurried over to say hello, Hu Po said with a quick smile, "Second Grandma, what's the matter, why are you so thin that I almost lost my shape?" Recognize it." Ping'er waved his hand quickly, and Wang Xifeng gasped and said, "What is the old lady doing? I'm here to say hello to the old lady." Hu Po hurriedly opened the curtain and said, "The old lady was looking at flowers on the porch just now. I got tired after a while, so I said I would go back and have a rest, and if I couldn't keep it all together, I would take a nap for a while, and the second grandma came to talk to the old lady, so I was relieved."

So they helped Wang Xifeng in together, and Jia's mother really fell asleep on the big welcoming pillow on the kang.Wang Xifeng sat beside Jiamu, reached out and touched Jiamu's withered hand, feeling sad from it.Originally, Jia Mu closed her eyes for a rest just because she was out of energy. Now she opened her eyes and saw Wang Xifeng in front of her eyes. She said, "My son, why are you so pitiful?" "Old lady, now you are the only one who still loves me." Mother Jia also shed tears and said, "Girl Feng, you are too clever, but your cleverness has delayed you. This is your fate." Feng cried: "I don't believe that my life is so hard. I have been strong all my life, and now I am falling behind..." Jia Mu could only sigh.

Wang Xifeng was crying, when she heard Mrs. Xing come in, she quickly wiped her tears and stood up, saying hello to Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Xing ignored her, and after seeing Mother Jia, she turned around and hummed, "I don't know who it is. It turned out to be Lian's second grandma. No wonder people say that our family's second grandma Lian doesn't take rules seriously. Mrs. The wife is ill, and the family, starting from the old man, have tried their best to make the old lady happy, how can you come to mourn like this? Hurry up and get out!"

Mother Jia was silent, so Wang Xifeng had to kneel down, struggled to kowtow to Mother Jia, and then walked out of the courtyard door, and collapsed on the ground as soon as she went out. Ping'er and Xiaohong were so scared that they hurriedly helped Wang Xifeng up. He lifted it back to his room.Wang Xifeng passed out several times that night, but Jia Lian ignored her. On the second day, Ping'er asked someone to invite a doctor, and he prescribed the medicine, which stabilized his condition.Wang Xifeng made plans silently on the sickbed, and when she had made up her mind, she called Ping'er and said, "Sister, I can only count on you now."

Ping'er then cried: "Second Mistress, don't make people so sad. If you take care of your body, what can't you earn?" Wang Xifeng shook her head bitterly, and said: "My body is already empty, so there is no hope. Yes, but my Qiaojie..." She turned her head to look at the back room, Ping'er understood, and said: "Just now Xiaohong took Qiaojie to Grandma Zhen's place to play." Wang Xifeng nodded and continued: "When the old lady is alive, they will not do anything to me, but the old lady is useless. As long as the old lady is gone, they can join forces and eat me..." Ping'er bit the handkerchief with his teeth. son, wept bitterly.

Wang Xifeng panted again: "Although your second master is like my enemy now, in fact, I am the person who knows him best. Whether I die or he divorces me, he will marry another house, but I expect He won't marry from a rich official family anymore, he is afraid of being suppressed by me. So he would rather marry someone from a humble background...this worthless thing!" Wang Xifeng coughed for a while, her face was red from choking, and she gasped I can't breathe.Ping'er hurriedly came over and beat his back.

After coughing for a while, Wang Xifeng finally recovered, and continued, "I expected that he would pick one of you and Qiutong to straighten him up. Originally, Qiutong was not as good as you in terms of appearance, talent, or character. But you were tired by me, so after I went, you and Qiutong would have a life-and-death struggle. In terms of scheming, Qiutong can't compare to you, but you have a weakness, which is a coincidence Sister..." Ping'er quickly said: "Second Mistress, I will definitely take good care of Miss Qiao..."

Wang Xifeng said: "I believe what you say, but Qiutong also knows that she will definitely try her best to plot against Qiaojie. So I want to send Qiaojie away..." Ping'er was stunned, and asked: "Second Grandma Where are you going to send it?" Wang Xifeng said: "Send it to my father, he took the whole family back to Jinling, I regret that I didn't ask him to take sister Qiao away with her, now it's only with her grandfather. Just rest assured..."
