The Red House of the Concubine of the Jia Family

The next day, Lu Yan took 3000 tough veterans borrowed from Jia Amnesty and [-] troops to escort the food and grass away from Beijing.

In order to express her gratitude, Jia Xuan personally returned to Jia's mansion with carefully selected gifts.

It happened that the second grandmother, Wang Xifeng, was going to pay her respects to the old lady. On the way, she heard that her aunt was visiting, so she waited in the garden.

"Is the old lady in good health recently? Yuan Daiyu and Tanchun should come back to have a look on their birthdays, but a while ago, there were too many things going on in the house, and I really couldn't get away..."

"Some time ago, everyone knew that you were busy in the house, so you won't take it to heart. Don't worry... the old lady is doing well there, eating well, sleeping soundly, and the second son was granted a favor, and the old lady even mentioned I want to thank you..." Speaking of Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng was really grateful to Jia Xuan and his wife, if it wasn't for the aunt, their second master wouldn't even have a vacant job now.Although it is not a real deficiency now, it sounds good after all, doesn't it?And if you want to gain some real power in the future, you can still find a way to find a way.

"Thank you? We don't have to thank you here and there. If we say thank you, don't I have to thank you too? If it weren't for you, our master's errands couldn't be run so smoothly..."

Wang Xifeng smiled, and didn't mention it again. The two talked about other things tacitly, and they came to Jiamu's yard after talking and laughing.

"Old lady, who do you think is coming?" Wang Xifeng uttered such a voice before he even entered the room.

The mandarin ducks inside heard the sound and quickly raised the curtain to come out, "Auntie, the second mistress is here, hurry up, please come inside, the old lady, the first lady, the second wife, and the girls are all here."

Jia Xuan went in and took a look, and sure enough, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Yingchun were making fun of Jiamu, and Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were sitting beside her, nodding and smiling from time to time, not knowing what they were talking about. , but the atmosphere is quite good.

"Old lady, ladies/sister-in-law and second sister-in-law Ann" Jia Xuan and the two saluted first, and before Jia Xuan had time to say anything, Wang Xifeng teased and said, "Old lady, you can't treat one more favorably than another, what are you talking about?" It's fun, look at this happy, don't hurry up and say it, let us have fun too"

"Come on, Axuan and Feng girl are also here, come and guess, what are their lantern riddles about? Haha... I don't think you can guess."

"Lantern riddles? Is this going to kill me? Aunt, it's up to you." Wang Xifeng smiled and handed the lantern riddles Tanchun handed over to Jia Xuan, then slid back and hid the old lady and others Looking straight and laughing.

Jia Xuan had to pick it up to take a look at "catch the ducks to the shelves", ""Falling Ji" is an idiom... "At the end of the year, there is no shortage of fish and rice"?"

"Auntie, here's another one." Just after finishing watching, Tanchun handed over another one.

"'It looks like bamboo, but it's not bamboo. It's not too thick. It's not too thick. It's either purple or green. It's only eaten when it's born and can't be cooked.' Hit a plant... I think I really know this. Is this sugarcane?" One section, it looks a bit like bamboo, the color of the skin seems to be purple, and the sugar cane is eaten raw.

"Auntie is really amazing, it's sugarcane, a kind of fruit, but it's so sweet." It seems that this lantern riddle was created by Daiyu.

"It's quite sweet." Jia Xuan nodded, but those memories were too long ago, and she almost forgot them. After a pause, Jia Xuan said again, "This is a kind of fruit from the south. There are more plants in the coastal areas, and this thing is relatively easy to store, and it is also available in Beijing, but it is relatively small."

"Yeah," Daiyu nodded.

"I really can't think of the other two, what are they?"

"Auntie, the answer to the riddle of 'Nirience' is to sit and wait for death. Think about it, the old monk's death is just sitting there, isn't that just sitting there waiting to die? There is also this 'There is no shortage of fish and rice at the end of the year', look, this is used The most important thing is the method of splitting characters, fish + rice + is not scales, so the answer to the riddle is scales..."

"Really." But let her think for herself, she definitely can't figure it out. Sure enough, she really can't play riddles with her brain.

Talking and making trouble at Jia Mu's side, tossing around for a long time, and then having lunch together, it was not until Jia Mu took a break that Jia Xuan followed Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing to Mrs. Jia Shexing's yard.

When they arrived at Mrs. Xing's courtyard, Wang Baoshan's family greeted her in person.

The three of them didn't greet each other anymore. After they were seated, they served tea and chatted. Jia Xuan and Mrs. Xing had an average relationship, and even though Mrs. Xing was a sister-in-law, she was younger than Jia Xuan in terms of age and had no children. Jia Xuan could only chat with Mrs. Xing about clothes, jewelry and cosmetics. Wang Xifeng didn't have much to say to Mrs. Xing. The three talked for a long time without embarrassment. To express the Lu family's gratitude to Jia Amnesty, he bid farewell.

"Phew, I'm gone. If I don't leave, I don't know what to say." Mrs. Xing wiped the sweat off her brow.

After leaving Jia's house, Jia Xuan, who had unburdened herself, returned to Lu's residence with a relaxed heart.The children in the family didn't know what to eat at noon, so she had to cook something delicious for the children at night.

Back home, Jia Xuan went back to her room and changed into her usual old clothes, then called Qian Er's family over to ask the three children about their lunch.

"At noon, the kitchen made four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables. The three young masters eat together. The two masters eat normally, and the girl eats less."

"Cen'er is not feeling well?"

"I heard from the little girl in the girl's room that it seems to be true. The girl has been lying on the bed for a whole day and hasn't left the room..."

"So serious? Let's go and see the girl."

The Lu family's house is not big, and Lu Cen'er lives close to Jia Xuan, within two steps.

When Jia Xuan arrived, Lu Cen'er was wrapped up like a silkworm chrysalis, moaning on the bed.

Jia Xuan was anxious and angry when she saw it, "You child, you are not feeling well, why don't you find a doctor to take a look, you are just messing around..."

"Mother, are you back?" Seeing that Jia Xuan seemed to be angry, Lu Cen'er didn't dare to speak back. When Jia Xuan approached, she pulled Jia Xuan's sleeve and whispered, "Mother, I'm not sick. That's the one coming..."

"Which one is coming?"

"Oh, that's the one, you said every woman will have it..."

"What? You came to Kuishui? Does it hurt?"

"En." Lu Cen'er nodded, "It doesn't hurt, but I feel a little weak all over, and then my stomach feels a little swollen. It's okay, mother. I've already asked people. It's a normal phenomenon..."

"You know a lot." Jia Xuan rolled her daughter's eyes.But in the end, I was relieved, it's not like I'm sick.As for sunflower water, it’s good if it doesn’t hurt, and you can suffer a little less. "Mother asked the kitchen to cook a bowl of brown sugar water for you. You can drink more of this in the future, it will be good for your health."
