A visit to Fangchun

In the afternoon, sure enough, the eunuch in the palace sent the emperor's reward.Jia Zheng waited busy to thank you.Since the eunuch didn't see Mrs. Wang, he asked, "Where is the second wife? The imperial concubine said that the second wife has not been well. Could it be that she is sick again?"

Jia Zheng hurriedly smiled and said: "An angel's lesson. That's right. I've never been very tough. I saw the imperial concubine last night. I was overjoyed. This morning I'm a bit chilly."

The eunuch nodded and said with a smile: "This imperial concubine has already expected it. Let us tell the family that if the second wife is sick, she can rest and recuperate. There is no need to enter the palace next month, just ask the old lady to take the third girl. "

Jia Zheng complained in his heart.Damn, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?

The eunuch said something and went away smiling.

Although Jia's mother got up late, someone had already reported the noise from Mrs. Wang's side, so she knew all about it.Seeing his son's worried face, knowing that he was in trouble, he helped Yuanyang's hand, and said casually: "My mother loves my mother, why doesn't my mother love her? You shouldn't tell your mother about the second wife's illness. Yes. That’s all, let’s help keep it a secret, so that the second wife won’t worry about the empress, and the recovery will be slower.”

Everyone understood, bowed their heads and said yes.

Jia Tanchun lowered his eyebrows and looked down, without looking at anyone, and walked back quietly by himself.

After entering the yard, Li Wan called her with a smile: "Third girl, come here."

Jia Tanchun knew that no one could hide his Anshun appearance, but he didn't expect that Li Wan was the one who teased him first, so angrily and laughing, he turned around and followed Li Wan into the room, sitting calmly: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Teachings? I'm all ears."

Seeing her look, Li Wan wanted to laugh, so he stuffed Jia Lan into her arms, "Help me take care of the baby! What kind of teaching? I don't have any teaching. I only have a room full of housework."

Both Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu felt that the private message from Concubine Yuan was very inexplicable, but they immediately went to visit Mrs. Wang together.

Although Mrs. Wang was not happy to see Lin Daiyu, she was happy to see her son getting close to her. She smiled and asked them to come in, pulled the two of them one by one, and said with a smile: "I'm just tired, just take a rest. Don't worry."

Jia Baoyu was relieved, then sat down comfortably, and called Jin Chuan'er again: "I heard that, because my wife is not feeling well, the kitchen specially made light dishes for my wife today. I also want to eat something lighter today. , just eat with your wife."

Before saying a word, Baochai also came in, and said with a smile: "I said Brother Bao must not be at ease to come, and if he came anyway, it would cause trouble for my aunt."

When Lin Daiyu saw her coming, she stood up and greeted her with a smile.

Baochai nodded at her, and slowly walked over to look at Mrs. Wang: "I heard that my aunt was not feeling well in the past, and I thought it was just tired, so I needed a rest. Looking at my aunt's face now, it doesn't seem to be true. It's easy."

Jia Baoyu immediately raised his heart again, changed his complexion, ran to the bed, and said anxiously: "Madam, can you make a false report of your illness just to reassure me?" Then he frowned and asked Jin Chuaner: "You tell me the truth. , What exactly did the doctor say? If you don't tell me, I'll ask Lian's second brother face to face!"

He also regretted that he went to bed late in the morning and did not listen to Wang Jiren's explanation of Mrs. Wang's condition in person.

Mrs. Wang was very relieved and happy. She first glanced at Baochai angrily, and then pulled him with a smile: "Okay! What are you scaring Jin Chuan'er for? It was because I was always worried about all kinds of matters about returning to the province, and I was worried about my mother." Now, once the matter is over and the heart is relaxed, all the anger will come up. I feel dizzy when I wake up early. Doctor Wang is cautious, so naturally he speaks more seriously. I just took advantage of the situation to be lazy."

Jia Baoyu didn't believe it.Even Lin Daiyu frowned: "Since I came to the house, my aunt has never been a lazy person. Not to mention the second brother doesn't believe it, even I don't believe it. Auntie doesn't need to hide it from us, she is just too tired to worry about it." One year, when I saw my mother again, I felt happy and sad, so I couldn't bear it. According to me, if the doctor Wang asked my aunt to rest, it would not be considered a pretense. My aunt should follow the doctor's advice and take good care of everything. Take a rest. Otherwise, the whole family, from the empress to the old lady, to uncle and second brother, who can rest assured?"

With Lin Daiyu's temperament in the past, she was able to say things like this. Madam Wang was surprised, but she took away her indifferent thoughts in the past, and felt very pleasant, and her smile suddenly became more sincere: "Okay, okay, I follow the doctor's advice, okay Live and nourish."

Baochai first took Mrs. Wang's stare, and then Lin Daiyu snatched her words of comfort, so she just sat and smiled dignifiedly.

Seeing Mrs. Wang listened to the persuasion, Jia Baoyu felt relieved, then frowned again, stood up, and asked, "Since Wang Jiren is here, why didn't he go to the main courtyard to show the old lady? I just heard my grandmother cough a few times." I'm afraid it will be cold at night. I'll have someone ask Wang Jiren to come again." Then he walked out.

As soon as Lin Daiyu heard this, she stood up and said to Mrs. Wang with a smile: "Second brother said that wind is rain. This filial heart is exactly the same as my wife's."

Mrs. Wang shook her head with a smile, sighed, and waved her hands: "You go too, and take good care of the old lady, so that she doesn't think about anything else, and leave it to Feng girl."

Lin Daiyu agreed and went to salute.

Madam Wang then turned to Baochai, held her hand, and asked her with a smile, "Where's your mother?"

Baochai pursed her lips and smiled: "My brother was very happy to see the eldest sister, and he was going out to brag with his friends at noon. At this moment, my mother is holding her in the courtyard and teaching her a lesson."

This is what Mrs. Wang is most proud of in front of Aunt Xue. Hearing this, she couldn't help laughing, she shook her head and said, "These little brothers are just joking, why did they turn into bragging? Your mother is too cautious. In the first lunar month, you and Baoyu and sisters Let's have fun and don't miss me. I'm really fine. Tell your mother too."

Baochai agreed, but did not leave. Instead, she said pointedly: "I heard that when the empress was leaving the house, she specially asked her children and girls to study hard. It is still in the first lunar month, and the school is on vacation, so forget it." I just don't know what my aunt plans to do in half a month? I intend to study with my sisters, but I'm afraid of disturbing Brother Bao's progress."

Madam Wang twitched slightly.

Baochai actually came here to ask herself, can she enter the palace and wait for election?Could it be that my younger sister has already told her about the intention to let her enter the palace to take the place of Yuanchun in the harem?

Mrs. Wang couldn't help looking Baochai up and down.

So what exactly does she mean?Do you want to enter the palace?Still don't want to enter the palace?

Suddenly it occurred to Concubine Yuan that she had asked her to bring Tanchun into the palace, but she hadn't mentioned Baochai at all. Of course, Mrs. Wang understood that her daughter didn't want Baochai to enter the palace to be favored.But Tanchun... Could it be that she won't be spoiled by her daughter when she enters the palace?

Mrs. Wang was distracted, so Baochai might as well continue to say leisurely: "I heard from my mother that my aunt took care of the house when she was not out of the cabinet, and took care of everything. So she didn't suffer much. It is clear that the Eldest Master is the eldest house, so it is up to them to work hard, but the aunt who is capable will work harder, and manages the entire palace with the power of the second house. The elder sister must be aware of current affairs at home, so she feels very sorry for the aunt."

Mrs. Wang didn't know what she meant, but when Concubine Yuan was mentioned, she immediately got up to listen.

Baochai smiled calmly: "Otherwise, when the eunuch came to present the reward just now, he could have predicted that Aunt Zhun was ill?"

Mrs. Wang was startled.

The eunuch who came to announce the reward actually knew that he was sick?How is this going?How did no one tell myself?

"What did the eunuch say?"

Baochai said the eunuch's words calmly, and said with a smile: "Look, the one who knows the daughter best in this world may not be the mother, but the one who knows the mother best must be the daughter. The elder sister is very considerate and considerate to the aunt. It has been predicted that my aunt will fall ill, so I asked the eunuch to tell you in advance, and you don't need to work hard to enter the palace next month..."

Mrs. Wang's face became more and more ugly, and her hand holding Baochai became tighter and tighter, until Baochai gritted her teeth lightly in pain.

Jin Chuan'er sent Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu out, turned around and heard these words from Baochai, she couldn't help being shocked, knowing that she should never go in at this moment, so she hurriedly stopped.When she heard that the inner room was quiet, Jin Chuan'er felt her heart pounding, and sweat broke out on her forehead, not knowing what to do.

Just as she was jumping in a hurry, she suddenly heard the sound of a ring worn outside. When she turned around, she saw Wang Xifeng walking in with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but chant Amitabha in her heart, greeted her with a smile, and announced loudly, "Second Grandma is here."

Mrs. Wang was startled indoors, so she let go of Baochai's hand, looked at her hesitantly, squeezed a smile, and said, "I see. Go back and tell your mother, I'm fine, don't worry .”

Baochai said goodbye and left slowly.

Wang Xifeng entered the room with a face full of concern, first bowed to Mrs. Wang, then waved away the crowd, and asked sincerely: "Auntie, are you really sick or are you just upset?"

Mrs. Wang turned her face away coldly and did not speak.

Wang Xifeng thought about Baochai's seemingly calm expression just now, and then saw the anger on Mrs. Wang's face, knowing that Baochai didn't hear a word Jia Mu said, so she simply moved over and whispered: "Auntie, you can lose your temper! It's not the right time. Your Majesty is not happy." Then he told the eunuch's words, Jia Zheng's expression, and Jia's mother's instructions to everyone.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang's eyes were red, she sat on the edge of the bed, and while beating Mrs. Wang's back, she persuaded in a low voice: "Auntie, Your Majesty is the most knowledgeable and reasonable person. After all these years in the palace, she also understands the most Sacred Heart. Now the empress knows the position of the four of us in the heart of the emperor and the emperor. Therefore, we have to listen to the empress. If we cannot let the empress listen to us, then it will be messed up?! Think about it, yes Isn't that the reason?"
