Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 084
Madam Wang's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly.
Jia Lan passed his fifth birthday at the beginning of the year. According to his age, he is already six years old.At the beginning, both Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were enlightened at the age of three.Now that Baoyu is here, it is also because of the youngest son that he has been pampered, but it is so. Baoyu has been studying with his husband since he was four years old. Last year, when the old gentleman retired, Baoyu took a rest for a while. .As for Jia Lan, in good conscience, Mrs. Wang didn't take him seriously.
"Back to the old lady, Lan'er was originally taken care of by Zhu'er's wife. The Li family is originally a family of poetry and books. Even though Zhu'er's wife is not as good as her natal brothers, this knowledge is not bad." Don't worry about Mrs. Wang's heart No matter how she thought about it, she had no choice but to get up and leave the table honestly when she got Jia's mother's questioning, and stepped forward to answer respectfully.It's just that the inside and outside of these words point out that although Jia Lan has never formally entered school, he has not been delayed.
"Pearl's daughter-in-law took care of it?" Mother Jia still had a smile on her face, but when she looked closely, she could see that the smile clearly didn't reach her eyes, "Since that's the case, what about now?"
Right now, even though Jia Lan was originally taught by Li Wan, but now Li Wan has already gone to the West Side Courtyard, who can teach Jia Lan?
Mrs. Wang was sweating coldly, she had already talked about this point, even if she had a complete explanation now, she could not escape the suspicion of dereliction of duty.Especially when Li Wan was ordered by Jia Mu to go to the west side courtyard, although she never made trouble, she was still helpful. Now that Jia Mu first mentioned this, how should she reply?
"Political daughter-in-law, I'm not talking about you. If it takes a day or two, it's not a big deal. But if you count the days, it's more than a month at least? Besides, even Zhuer's daughter-in-law She has some knowledge, but how much can she know as a woman? Back then, my poor Miner was also famous for her talent? But I know that she is good at poetry, but not good at imperial examinations." Jia Mu shook her head and sighed. , said earnestly, "You, you, you are delaying Lan'er's future!"
"My daughter-in-law knows my mistake." Mrs. Wang knelt down on the ground, admitting her mistake and apologizing.
Otherwise, what else?To admit that she doesn't know how to raise a man?Not to mention that she has given birth to two sons now, even if she has no children, she can't lose face like this.Or admit that he deliberately ignored Jia Lan?That's more wrong than wrong.Of course, if you blindly deny it, that would be a real big mistake!
Come on, admit your mistake first.As for the reason, as long as Jia Mu doesn't say it, she will pretend to be deaf and dumb.
After all, Mother Jia still saved face for Mrs. Wang, but she couldn't speak directly, so she looked at Wang Xifeng who was sitting below, and whispered, "Brother Feng, why don't you help your wife up soon?"
Wang Xifeng hurriedly got up and left the table, stepped forward to help Mrs. Wang, but secretly spat in her heart, her serious mother-in-law was still sitting beside her, what kind of wife could Mrs. Wang be.Of course, Wang Xifeng's face was full of smiles. While reaching out to support Mrs. Wang, she did not forget to explain to Mrs. Jia for Mrs. Wang: "Old ancestor, my wife always loves Lan'er on the tip of her heart. Originally Sister-in-law Zhu took good care of her. My wife had a lot of things to do, so I let sister-in-law Zhu go. No, my wife was sick a while ago, and I had a lot of things to do at my place. It was all piled up on the wife, and what's more coincidentally, sister-in-law Zhu was thinking about Big Brother Zhu, so she chanted sutras and worshiped the Buddha devoutly. No, if it's delayed twice, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, regardless of other things, Mrs. Wang's complexion is much better.Some words sounded like excuses, so she couldn't say them.Fortunately, when Wang Xifeng said it, it was also her who said it, and the effect was even greater than what she said herself.
Looking at Jia's mother again, the smile on her face became wider: "Yes, but I forgot about these things, alas, I'm getting older and my memory is not good."
"The old ancestor is young. This is Qiaojie's first birthday party. Later, when Qiaojie gets married and has children, I will wait for the old ancestor to do it!" Wang Xifeng deliberately joked, and sure enough, as soon as she said this, , Mother Jia couldn't hold back, and laughed directly, but this time it wasn't a false smile.
"You mouth! Sister Qiao is only one year old today, but you are thinking about her having children? You, you, forget it, go back and sit down. Lan'er, you go and sit down, and you will go with your Uncle Bao later. Let me go to school, I will tell your grandfather. Go."
Wang Xifeng helped Mrs. Wang to sit down, and while no one was paying attention, they exchanged glances.With Jia's mother's words, the matter of Jia Lan's admission to school has been settled. As for Jia Zheng, he will not object due to emotion or reason.What Wang Xifeng thought was that Jia Lan's knowledge in the previous life was excellent, if the two were not together, the contrast would not be so obvious, but now that they are together, I am afraid that Baoyu's life in the future will be difficult.What Mrs. Wang thinks is that Baoyu is two years older than Jia Lan and enters school earlier. Compared with Jia Zhu and Jia Lian in those days, it is unlikely that Baoyu will lose face, aside from Baoyu's side.
The aunt and nephew have their own thoughts, and both feel that their guess is the closest to the truth.No, before Mother Jia announced the opening of the banquet, she suddenly called the mandarin ducks over again.
"Today is a good day. Yuanyang, you order the cook to prepare a table of noodles and deliver them to the west courtyard. Treat it as my addition to Zhu'er's wife and the third girl."
Yuanyang smiled and agreed, but she didn't dare to look down at all, she just lowered her head and exited the wing room, and went outside to give orders.It was also because of these words that the room became more and more quiet, and everyone hurriedly ate their meals and dispersed.
However, although the mandarin duck ordered it immediately, the other side of the big kitchen did not dare to delay for a moment, but after all, the table noodles cannot be assembled in a short while, and by the time the table noodles are delivered to the west side courtyard, it has already passed the usual time. Lunch time.Naturally, Li Wan and Tanchun couldn't go hungry, because when Rongqing Hall was in session, the servant girl who brought the meal had already delivered the meal box to the side courtyard.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, today we have benefited from Qiaojie's favor, we will wait to go out later, we should thank Qiaojie well. Oh, but I forgot, sister-in-law Zhu, you are determined to keep the chastity and devote yourself to the Buddha. " Hearing what the little maid said, Tanchun smiled and talked to Li Wan, but what she said was not so much a needle hidden in the cotton, it was more like pointing the needle at Li Wan.
Li Wan could bear it, mainly because she had to bear it if she couldn't bear it.Hearing the words of Tanchun and others with guns and sticks, she still forced a smile, and echoed: "What the third sister said is true, but I can't get out. My sister will go out in the future, but I can help my sister-in-law face to face." Thank you Miss Qiao."
Thank you Qiaojie in person?The smile on Tan Chun's face faltered, she knew that she was from a humble background, even though she was recorded in Mrs Wang's name now, she was still different from those serious daughters-in-law.In particular, she has a real eldest daughter, Yuan Chun, who is even inferior to a junior daughter like Sister Qiao.
Knowing that Li Wan's words were in return for her, Tanchun was only stunned for a moment, then immediately raised a big smile, stepped forward, pulled Li Wan's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Sister Zhu, what are you talking about?" Well, I will definitely thank Lian's second sister-in-law and Qiaojie in the future. Especially Lian's second sister-in-law, she is a very good person. Although it is Qiaojie's birthday party today, I can imagine that she is so young, what does she know? It’s not that Lian’s second sister-in-law misses us, and the old ancestor loves us. Oh, don’t say so much, sister-in-law Zhu, please come and eat, it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
Li Wan originally wanted to say that he was full, but since Tanchun deliberately mentioned Jiamu, it would be disrespectful if she didn't use it at all.At the moment, I had no choice but to hold back my breath and spend a little while with Tanchun.
Even if the table is not as rich as the other two tables, but Li Wan and Tanchun are just the two of them, and they had lunch before, how much more can they eat?Li Wan was holding his breath, and Tan Chun might not feel well in his heart, but he still had to put on a friendly side, holding each other's good food, tossing each other, and fighting against each other.
In the end, Tanchun, who was still young, was the first to be unable to hold back. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, gritted his teeth and said, "The old lady loves us so much. I want to read a volume of Buddhist scriptures for the old lady. Sister-in-law Zhu, do you want to join me? Oh, yes, the maid who delivered the meal just now mentioned to me that Lan'er is going to school with her second brother. Is that so? Yo, I can’t even remember.”
As Tanchun talked, he left the table on his own.Li Wan was left alone in the main room, gnashing his teeth, intending to catch up and inquire about Jia Lan, but he couldn't hold back.In my heart, I regretted what airs I put on just now, but I missed the message delivered by the maid who delivered the meal.
Li Wan regretted and hated at the same time, but more worried about Jia Lan.There is a saying that when a child travels a thousand miles, the mother worries, but when the mother travels a thousand miles, the child does not worry.Although they are in the same mansion, Li Wan always remembers Jia Lan, but Tanchun has been safe and sound, and it seems that he doesn't care about people outside at all, and only concentrates on chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha, waiting for three years to pass before leaving .Thinking of this, Li Wan became more and more uncomfortable.She was not a cheerful person. In fact, since Jia Zhu passed away, her heart was ashamed and her body was withered.In the past, there was still Jia Lan who supported him, but now that he can't see him, he still misses him very much, and fell ill within a few days.
Li Wan's illness was reported to Tan Chun by the maid immediately, after all, they were not allowed to enter or leave this yard on weekdays.Even if it is the maid who brings meals every day, it is only delivered to the gate of the yard, and does not come inside.As for the people in the yard, they are never allowed to leave.
Knowing that Li Wan fell ill, Tanchun decided to visit him. Although she didn't know medicine, she was not stupid.Today's weather is a bit hot, but Li Wan stays indoors all day, and it is impossible to suffer from heat stroke. Coupled with Li Wan's sad face, it is obvious that this is not a real illness, but a heart disease .
Living in the same courtyard, Tanchun couldn't completely ignore her.After visiting the sick person in person, the news of Li Wan's illness was delivered early the next morning through the maid who provided meals.
It is true that both Li Wan and Tanchun are under lockdown, but being grounded does not mean life or death.After all, both Jiamu and Mrs. Wang just wanted to teach them a profound lesson, but they never thought of killing them.
The news was delivered very quickly, because Wang Xifeng had already "recovered from illness", but the news was delivered to her first.
Wang Xifeng received the news, but didn't hurry to call the doctor, but went directly to Rongxitang to look for Mrs. Wang.After seeing Mrs. Wang, he smiled and said the matter briefly, and then mentioned the matter of personally leading the doctor to the west side courtyard.Mrs. Wang agreed with a dark face, but told Jia Mu not to disturb such trivial matters.Naturally, Wang Xifeng agreed with a smile.
When the doctor entered the mansion, Wang Xifeng personally led them to the west courtyard. This was the first time she saw Li Wan and Tanchun after more than a month.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, I'm here to see you!"
Arriving before people arrived, Wang Xifeng entered Li Wan's room with a loud smile, and only after Li Wan got it right did he let the doctor come in to check his pulse.Naturally, Li Wan's illness was not serious, in the doctor's words, it was just depression and illness.There is a saying that the heart disease needs to be healed by heart medicine. General medicinal materials cannot cure this kind of disease caused by excessive worry.Of course, the doctor still prescribes a calm prescription, and there are naturally some doctor's orders, such as being more open about everything, don't keep everything in your heart, and take care of it carefully.In short, almost all good words and nonsense.
However, these words are what Wang Xifeng is good at.He ordered people to send the doctor out of the mansion, and called Feng'er to talk to Jiao Da in person, and handed the medicinal materials to the side courtyard, and then directly decocted the medicine in the courtyard.After finishing the order, Wang Xifeng didn't leave in a hurry, but took Li Wan's hand to greet him warmly.
Because Tanchun is the home of her daughter who has not left the cabinet, she only hid in the room when the doctor was there just now, and did not come out.It wasn't until the doctor left that she left the house and came to Li Wan.When she reached the door, she happened to hear Wang Xifeng's "consolation" one after another.
"...You don't love yourself too much. Brother Zhu has gone, sister-in-law Zhu, even if it is for Lan'er, you have to take good care of yourself. Even if Lan'er has an old lady, a wife, a master, Baoyu, but Zhu Sister-in-law, you are his own mother! Poor him, he lost his father when he was still young. If something happens to you, sister-in-law Zhu, what will happen to Lan'er? I also lost my parents when I was young, then How did you say the sentence? Why is the child not here... Oh, look at my brain."
"The second sister-in-law of Lian said that the son wants to support but the relative is not here, right?" Tanchun entered the room with a smile on his face, but he did not look at Li Wan who was on the sick bed, but bowed his knees to Wang Xifeng first, "Tanchun I met Lian's second sister-in-law."
"Third sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you being so polite? Don't be like this, we are a family." Wang Xifeng smiled brightly. momentum.However, when she smiles on weekdays, it makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, as if she can make others laugh when she smiles.
The same is true for Tanchun at this moment.She originally entered the room with a lot of smiles, but when she met Wang Xifeng, the smile on her face became more sincere, and she said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law Lian, even if we are a family, you are my sister-in-law, and my sister salutes sister-in-law too." It should be. By the way, it’s been a while since I’ve been gone, what’s new in the mansion?”
Wang Xifeng just said a lot of words to Li Wan, but Li Wan didn't say anything back to her, he didn't even respond at all.Although Wang Xifeng can still talk about it by himself, it is a bit reconciled that no one responds.Seeing Tanchun now, Wang Xifeng was really happy.
"What's new? Hey, there are too many new things to talk about." After mentioning a few things about Qiaojie, Wang Xifeng immediately talked about the second room, "It really makes sense to say that." The sentence, like a father, like a son, third sister, is that how it is said?"
Seeing that Tanchun nodded and smiled without saying a word, Wang Xifeng said again: "It turns out that Baoyu has started to study. The second master and Mr. Jia both said that Baoyu is intelligent, and I also said so. But who would have thought that this is the end of the day?" After a few days, the comparison has been made."
"Let me guess, could it be that the second elder brother bullied Lan'er when he was young, and deliberately overwhelmed him in his homework? Alas, how did this happen? Lan'er started learning late and was young, so it's better to start learning at a young age." My second elder brother." Tan Chun said with half worry and half affectation, although she was speaking to Wang Xifeng, she was looking at Li Wan from the corner of her eyes.
Li Wan, who was lying on the sickbed, felt his heart skip a beat, and leaned slightly outwards, but he still didn't speak.
No, Wang Xifeng suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, and it took a while to forcefully stop her smile, and said: "Third sister really knows how to joke, your second brother is smart, but when I was young, I didn't care about learning. Although he has been in school for several years, if you ask him to memorize an article, I'm afraid it will be too much. But Lan Er, really worthy of being the son of Big Brother Zhu, is born to be a scholar, and he caught up with him in just a few days Baoyu's progress, I heard yesterday that Mr. Jia praised him."
Tanchun's face was full of surprise, but it wasn't just pretending.It is true that Tanchun Zaohui also studied with her husband for a period of time, but after all, the daughter's family learns differently from the man's. If I have to say it, it is that the daughter's family learns piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and Fu, while the man learns it. It is a subset of classics and history.
The former is education and self-cultivation, and the latter is the way of imperial examinations, which is the right way!
"Third sister, don't you believe it. Although your second sister-in-law and I don't know a whole lot of Chinese characters, Mr. Jia is famous. I have heard that Mr. Jia has already asserted that Lan'er is extremely talented. In the future, I will definitely be the No. [-] scholar!" Wang Xifeng said sonorously and forcefully, Tan Chun was dumbfounded when he heard it, but Li Wan felt mixed emotions for a while, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.
The joy is that Jia Lan has inherited his father's legacy, but the sadness is that such a small child doesn't know how to hide it at all. If he continues to be so blatant in the future, he will expose everything about himself, and he will also destroy the Rongguo Mansion. Jin Sun Baoyu is under the pressure... I'm afraid something bad will happen.
"Third sister, remember to take good care of sister-in-law Zhu, and come over to talk with her when you have free time. Sister-in-law Zhu, there are many things in our family. Although the second wife has recovered from her illness, she is somewhat exhausted. I’m going back first. I’ll come back to see you next time when I have a chance.”
When Li Wan came back to his senses, Wang Xifeng had already walked out of the room, and Tanchun personally sent her out of the courtyard, and only after Wang Xifeng's back disappeared into the distance did Tanchun order someone to close the courtyard door.
The west side courtyard fell into dead silence again.
As Wang Xifeng said, what Li Wan was worried about was that Jia Lan was extremely talented and self-motivated, but he didn't know what it meant to hide clumsiness.If it's another family, or if Jia Zhu is still alive, it doesn't matter if Jia Lan doesn't hide his clumsiness.Unfortunately, Jia Lan's situation is extremely embarrassing.
As the only son left by the eldest grandson of the second wife, Jia Lan is the only blood left by Jia Zhu, but she always reminds everyone in the Rongguo Mansion of the fact that Jia Zhu died young.There are many reasons for Jia Zhu's death, and after careful investigation, I am afraid that including Jia's mother, it is inevitable that they are involved.Over time, Jia Zhu became a taboo in the Rongguo Mansion and could not be mentioned easily.
But the existence of Jia Lan is to mention Jia Zhu in a disguised form!
Originally, Jia Lan was not a big problem when he was young, but now that Jia Lan has grown up, he has shown a better talent in homework than his father.Even in addition to talent, Jia Lan also inherited his father's eagerness to learn, and his mother's cleverness, not to mention Baoyu, a stupid stone, even those precocious children from poor families are definitely not as good as him.Given time, he would really be able to obtain fame and glory.
In only three or four days, Jia Lan caught up with Baoyu's progress in learning.After another ten days, Jia Lan surpassed Baoyu in everything, no matter whether he was writing big characters, reciting a subset of scriptures and history, or answering questions from his master in school.At first, Jia Yucun only praised him in general, but after one month, he had to tell Jia Zheng the truth.
Jia Lan is not suitable for studying with Baoyu.
Hearing this at first, Jia Zheng was a little surprised. After all, he just heard that Jia Lan was eager to learn a few days ago, so why did he hear that Jia Lan was not suitable for studying with Baoyu?However, when Jia Yucun explained in detail, Jia Zheng was both relieved and angry.
It's not that Jia Lan can't keep up, but that Baoyu is too ugly.Jia Yucun originally taught Baoyu at the request of Jia Zheng. Naturally, in terms of homework, he mainly focused on Baoyu.But he is a scholar after all. Seeing that Jia Lan is too smart and his study progress is far behind Baoyu, he has to listen to those clichés patiently.Jia Yucun felt worthless for Jia Lan, and was afraid that he would not be able to teach Baoyu, so Jia Zheng questioned his ability. After thinking twice, he decisively told the truth, which made Jia Zheng a headache.
Jia Zheng really had a headache, and he wanted Jia Yucun to teach Jia Lan, but he couldn't completely ignore Baoyu. After all, this grandson cannot be compared with his son.After thinking about it, Jia Zheng resolutely decided to ask Jia Yucun to give Baoyu an extra meal.
The so-called extra meal refers to getting up half an hour early every day, going to bed half an hour late, canceling all frolicking and playing, and doubling homework.
In Jia Zheng's words, it's okay for the stupid bird to fly first, right?
The problem is getting bigger!According to Jia Zheng's thinking, his method definitely worked, and Zuo Baoyu didn't dare to resist his order.In fact, Baoyu did so, but Jialan followed suit...
According to!Do!up!
Jia Lan passed his fifth birthday at the beginning of the year. According to his age, he is already six years old.At the beginning, both Jia Zhu and Jia Lian were enlightened at the age of three.Now that Baoyu is here, it is also because of the youngest son that he has been pampered, but it is so. Baoyu has been studying with his husband since he was four years old. Last year, when the old gentleman retired, Baoyu took a rest for a while. .As for Jia Lan, in good conscience, Mrs. Wang didn't take him seriously.
"Back to the old lady, Lan'er was originally taken care of by Zhu'er's wife. The Li family is originally a family of poetry and books. Even though Zhu'er's wife is not as good as her natal brothers, this knowledge is not bad." Don't worry about Mrs. Wang's heart No matter how she thought about it, she had no choice but to get up and leave the table honestly when she got Jia's mother's questioning, and stepped forward to answer respectfully.It's just that the inside and outside of these words point out that although Jia Lan has never formally entered school, he has not been delayed.
"Pearl's daughter-in-law took care of it?" Mother Jia still had a smile on her face, but when she looked closely, she could see that the smile clearly didn't reach her eyes, "Since that's the case, what about now?"
Right now, even though Jia Lan was originally taught by Li Wan, but now Li Wan has already gone to the West Side Courtyard, who can teach Jia Lan?
Mrs. Wang was sweating coldly, she had already talked about this point, even if she had a complete explanation now, she could not escape the suspicion of dereliction of duty.Especially when Li Wan was ordered by Jia Mu to go to the west side courtyard, although she never made trouble, she was still helpful. Now that Jia Mu first mentioned this, how should she reply?
"Political daughter-in-law, I'm not talking about you. If it takes a day or two, it's not a big deal. But if you count the days, it's more than a month at least? Besides, even Zhuer's daughter-in-law She has some knowledge, but how much can she know as a woman? Back then, my poor Miner was also famous for her talent? But I know that she is good at poetry, but not good at imperial examinations." Jia Mu shook her head and sighed. , said earnestly, "You, you, you are delaying Lan'er's future!"
"My daughter-in-law knows my mistake." Mrs. Wang knelt down on the ground, admitting her mistake and apologizing.
Otherwise, what else?To admit that she doesn't know how to raise a man?Not to mention that she has given birth to two sons now, even if she has no children, she can't lose face like this.Or admit that he deliberately ignored Jia Lan?That's more wrong than wrong.Of course, if you blindly deny it, that would be a real big mistake!
Come on, admit your mistake first.As for the reason, as long as Jia Mu doesn't say it, she will pretend to be deaf and dumb.
After all, Mother Jia still saved face for Mrs. Wang, but she couldn't speak directly, so she looked at Wang Xifeng who was sitting below, and whispered, "Brother Feng, why don't you help your wife up soon?"
Wang Xifeng hurriedly got up and left the table, stepped forward to help Mrs. Wang, but secretly spat in her heart, her serious mother-in-law was still sitting beside her, what kind of wife could Mrs. Wang be.Of course, Wang Xifeng's face was full of smiles. While reaching out to support Mrs. Wang, she did not forget to explain to Mrs. Jia for Mrs. Wang: "Old ancestor, my wife always loves Lan'er on the tip of her heart. Originally Sister-in-law Zhu took good care of her. My wife had a lot of things to do, so I let sister-in-law Zhu go. No, my wife was sick a while ago, and I had a lot of things to do at my place. It was all piled up on the wife, and what's more coincidentally, sister-in-law Zhu was thinking about Big Brother Zhu, so she chanted sutras and worshiped the Buddha devoutly. No, if it's delayed twice, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"
Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, regardless of other things, Mrs. Wang's complexion is much better.Some words sounded like excuses, so she couldn't say them.Fortunately, when Wang Xifeng said it, it was also her who said it, and the effect was even greater than what she said herself.
Looking at Jia's mother again, the smile on her face became wider: "Yes, but I forgot about these things, alas, I'm getting older and my memory is not good."
"The old ancestor is young. This is Qiaojie's first birthday party. Later, when Qiaojie gets married and has children, I will wait for the old ancestor to do it!" Wang Xifeng deliberately joked, and sure enough, as soon as she said this, , Mother Jia couldn't hold back, and laughed directly, but this time it wasn't a false smile.
"You mouth! Sister Qiao is only one year old today, but you are thinking about her having children? You, you, forget it, go back and sit down. Lan'er, you go and sit down, and you will go with your Uncle Bao later. Let me go to school, I will tell your grandfather. Go."
Wang Xifeng helped Mrs. Wang to sit down, and while no one was paying attention, they exchanged glances.With Jia's mother's words, the matter of Jia Lan's admission to school has been settled. As for Jia Zheng, he will not object due to emotion or reason.What Wang Xifeng thought was that Jia Lan's knowledge in the previous life was excellent, if the two were not together, the contrast would not be so obvious, but now that they are together, I am afraid that Baoyu's life in the future will be difficult.What Mrs. Wang thinks is that Baoyu is two years older than Jia Lan and enters school earlier. Compared with Jia Zhu and Jia Lian in those days, it is unlikely that Baoyu will lose face, aside from Baoyu's side.
The aunt and nephew have their own thoughts, and both feel that their guess is the closest to the truth.No, before Mother Jia announced the opening of the banquet, she suddenly called the mandarin ducks over again.
"Today is a good day. Yuanyang, you order the cook to prepare a table of noodles and deliver them to the west courtyard. Treat it as my addition to Zhu'er's wife and the third girl."
Yuanyang smiled and agreed, but she didn't dare to look down at all, she just lowered her head and exited the wing room, and went outside to give orders.It was also because of these words that the room became more and more quiet, and everyone hurriedly ate their meals and dispersed.
However, although the mandarin duck ordered it immediately, the other side of the big kitchen did not dare to delay for a moment, but after all, the table noodles cannot be assembled in a short while, and by the time the table noodles are delivered to the west side courtyard, it has already passed the usual time. Lunch time.Naturally, Li Wan and Tanchun couldn't go hungry, because when Rongqing Hall was in session, the servant girl who brought the meal had already delivered the meal box to the side courtyard.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, today we have benefited from Qiaojie's favor, we will wait to go out later, we should thank Qiaojie well. Oh, but I forgot, sister-in-law Zhu, you are determined to keep the chastity and devote yourself to the Buddha. " Hearing what the little maid said, Tanchun smiled and talked to Li Wan, but what she said was not so much a needle hidden in the cotton, it was more like pointing the needle at Li Wan.
Li Wan could bear it, mainly because she had to bear it if she couldn't bear it.Hearing the words of Tanchun and others with guns and sticks, she still forced a smile, and echoed: "What the third sister said is true, but I can't get out. My sister will go out in the future, but I can help my sister-in-law face to face." Thank you Miss Qiao."
Thank you Qiaojie in person?The smile on Tan Chun's face faltered, she knew that she was from a humble background, even though she was recorded in Mrs Wang's name now, she was still different from those serious daughters-in-law.In particular, she has a real eldest daughter, Yuan Chun, who is even inferior to a junior daughter like Sister Qiao.
Knowing that Li Wan's words were in return for her, Tanchun was only stunned for a moment, then immediately raised a big smile, stepped forward, pulled Li Wan's sleeve, and said coquettishly: "Sister Zhu, what are you talking about?" Well, I will definitely thank Lian's second sister-in-law and Qiaojie in the future. Especially Lian's second sister-in-law, she is a very good person. Although it is Qiaojie's birthday party today, I can imagine that she is so young, what does she know? It’s not that Lian’s second sister-in-law misses us, and the old ancestor loves us. Oh, don’t say so much, sister-in-law Zhu, please come and eat, it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
Li Wan originally wanted to say that he was full, but since Tanchun deliberately mentioned Jiamu, it would be disrespectful if she didn't use it at all.At the moment, I had no choice but to hold back my breath and spend a little while with Tanchun.

In the end, Tanchun, who was still young, was the first to be unable to hold back. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, gritted his teeth and said, "The old lady loves us so much. I want to read a volume of Buddhist scriptures for the old lady. Sister-in-law Zhu, do you want to join me? Oh, yes, the maid who delivered the meal just now mentioned to me that Lan'er is going to school with her second brother. Is that so? Yo, I can’t even remember.”
As Tanchun talked, he left the table on his own.Li Wan was left alone in the main room, gnashing his teeth, intending to catch up and inquire about Jia Lan, but he couldn't hold back.In my heart, I regretted what airs I put on just now, but I missed the message delivered by the maid who delivered the meal.
Li Wan regretted and hated at the same time, but more worried about Jia Lan.There is a saying that when a child travels a thousand miles, the mother worries, but when the mother travels a thousand miles, the child does not worry.Although they are in the same mansion, Li Wan always remembers Jia Lan, but Tanchun has been safe and sound, and it seems that he doesn't care about people outside at all, and only concentrates on chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha, waiting for three years to pass before leaving .Thinking of this, Li Wan became more and more uncomfortable.She was not a cheerful person. In fact, since Jia Zhu passed away, her heart was ashamed and her body was withered.In the past, there was still Jia Lan who supported him, but now that he can't see him, he still misses him very much, and fell ill within a few days.
Li Wan's illness was reported to Tan Chun by the maid immediately, after all, they were not allowed to enter or leave this yard on weekdays.Even if it is the maid who brings meals every day, it is only delivered to the gate of the yard, and does not come inside.As for the people in the yard, they are never allowed to leave.
Knowing that Li Wan fell ill, Tanchun decided to visit him. Although she didn't know medicine, she was not stupid.Today's weather is a bit hot, but Li Wan stays indoors all day, and it is impossible to suffer from heat stroke. Coupled with Li Wan's sad face, it is obvious that this is not a real illness, but a heart disease .
Living in the same courtyard, Tanchun couldn't completely ignore her.After visiting the sick person in person, the news of Li Wan's illness was delivered early the next morning through the maid who provided meals.
It is true that both Li Wan and Tanchun are under lockdown, but being grounded does not mean life or death.After all, both Jiamu and Mrs. Wang just wanted to teach them a profound lesson, but they never thought of killing them.
The news was delivered very quickly, because Wang Xifeng had already "recovered from illness", but the news was delivered to her first.
Wang Xifeng received the news, but didn't hurry to call the doctor, but went directly to Rongxitang to look for Mrs. Wang.After seeing Mrs. Wang, he smiled and said the matter briefly, and then mentioned the matter of personally leading the doctor to the west side courtyard.Mrs. Wang agreed with a dark face, but told Jia Mu not to disturb such trivial matters.Naturally, Wang Xifeng agreed with a smile.
When the doctor entered the mansion, Wang Xifeng personally led them to the west courtyard. This was the first time she saw Li Wan and Tanchun after more than a month.
"Sister-in-law Zhu, I'm here to see you!"
Arriving before people arrived, Wang Xifeng entered Li Wan's room with a loud smile, and only after Li Wan got it right did he let the doctor come in to check his pulse.Naturally, Li Wan's illness was not serious, in the doctor's words, it was just depression and illness.There is a saying that the heart disease needs to be healed by heart medicine. General medicinal materials cannot cure this kind of disease caused by excessive worry.Of course, the doctor still prescribes a calm prescription, and there are naturally some doctor's orders, such as being more open about everything, don't keep everything in your heart, and take care of it carefully.In short, almost all good words and nonsense.
However, these words are what Wang Xifeng is good at.He ordered people to send the doctor out of the mansion, and called Feng'er to talk to Jiao Da in person, and handed the medicinal materials to the side courtyard, and then directly decocted the medicine in the courtyard.After finishing the order, Wang Xifeng didn't leave in a hurry, but took Li Wan's hand to greet him warmly.
Because Tanchun is the home of her daughter who has not left the cabinet, she only hid in the room when the doctor was there just now, and did not come out.It wasn't until the doctor left that she left the house and came to Li Wan.When she reached the door, she happened to hear Wang Xifeng's "consolation" one after another.
"...You don't love yourself too much. Brother Zhu has gone, sister-in-law Zhu, even if it is for Lan'er, you have to take good care of yourself. Even if Lan'er has an old lady, a wife, a master, Baoyu, but Zhu Sister-in-law, you are his own mother! Poor him, he lost his father when he was still young. If something happens to you, sister-in-law Zhu, what will happen to Lan'er? I also lost my parents when I was young, then How did you say the sentence? Why is the child not here... Oh, look at my brain."
"The second sister-in-law of Lian said that the son wants to support but the relative is not here, right?" Tanchun entered the room with a smile on his face, but he did not look at Li Wan who was on the sick bed, but bowed his knees to Wang Xifeng first, "Tanchun I met Lian's second sister-in-law."
"Third sister, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you being so polite? Don't be like this, we are a family." Wang Xifeng smiled brightly. momentum.However, when she smiles on weekdays, it makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, as if she can make others laugh when she smiles.
The same is true for Tanchun at this moment.She originally entered the room with a lot of smiles, but when she met Wang Xifeng, the smile on her face became more sincere, and she said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law Lian, even if we are a family, you are my sister-in-law, and my sister salutes sister-in-law too." It should be. By the way, it’s been a while since I’ve been gone, what’s new in the mansion?”
Wang Xifeng just said a lot of words to Li Wan, but Li Wan didn't say anything back to her, he didn't even respond at all.Although Wang Xifeng can still talk about it by himself, it is a bit reconciled that no one responds.Seeing Tanchun now, Wang Xifeng was really happy.
"What's new? Hey, there are too many new things to talk about." After mentioning a few things about Qiaojie, Wang Xifeng immediately talked about the second room, "It really makes sense to say that." The sentence, like a father, like a son, third sister, is that how it is said?"
Seeing that Tanchun nodded and smiled without saying a word, Wang Xifeng said again: "It turns out that Baoyu has started to study. The second master and Mr. Jia both said that Baoyu is intelligent, and I also said so. But who would have thought that this is the end of the day?" After a few days, the comparison has been made."
"Let me guess, could it be that the second elder brother bullied Lan'er when he was young, and deliberately overwhelmed him in his homework? Alas, how did this happen? Lan'er started learning late and was young, so it's better to start learning at a young age." My second elder brother." Tan Chun said with half worry and half affectation, although she was speaking to Wang Xifeng, she was looking at Li Wan from the corner of her eyes.
Li Wan, who was lying on the sickbed, felt his heart skip a beat, and leaned slightly outwards, but he still didn't speak.
No, Wang Xifeng suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, and it took a while to forcefully stop her smile, and said: "Third sister really knows how to joke, your second brother is smart, but when I was young, I didn't care about learning. Although he has been in school for several years, if you ask him to memorize an article, I'm afraid it will be too much. But Lan Er, really worthy of being the son of Big Brother Zhu, is born to be a scholar, and he caught up with him in just a few days Baoyu's progress, I heard yesterday that Mr. Jia praised him."
Tanchun's face was full of surprise, but it wasn't just pretending.It is true that Tanchun Zaohui also studied with her husband for a period of time, but after all, the daughter's family learns differently from the man's. If I have to say it, it is that the daughter's family learns piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and Fu, while the man learns it. It is a subset of classics and history.
The former is education and self-cultivation, and the latter is the way of imperial examinations, which is the right way!
"Third sister, don't you believe it. Although your second sister-in-law and I don't know a whole lot of Chinese characters, Mr. Jia is famous. I have heard that Mr. Jia has already asserted that Lan'er is extremely talented. In the future, I will definitely be the No. [-] scholar!" Wang Xifeng said sonorously and forcefully, Tan Chun was dumbfounded when he heard it, but Li Wan felt mixed emotions for a while, not knowing whether he should be happy or sad.
The joy is that Jia Lan has inherited his father's legacy, but the sadness is that such a small child doesn't know how to hide it at all. If he continues to be so blatant in the future, he will expose everything about himself, and he will also destroy the Rongguo Mansion. Jin Sun Baoyu is under the pressure... I'm afraid something bad will happen.
"Third sister, remember to take good care of sister-in-law Zhu, and come over to talk with her when you have free time. Sister-in-law Zhu, there are many things in our family. Although the second wife has recovered from her illness, she is somewhat exhausted. I’m going back first. I’ll come back to see you next time when I have a chance.”
When Li Wan came back to his senses, Wang Xifeng had already walked out of the room, and Tanchun personally sent her out of the courtyard, and only after Wang Xifeng's back disappeared into the distance did Tanchun order someone to close the courtyard door.
The west side courtyard fell into dead silence again.
As Wang Xifeng said, what Li Wan was worried about was that Jia Lan was extremely talented and self-motivated, but he didn't know what it meant to hide clumsiness.If it's another family, or if Jia Zhu is still alive, it doesn't matter if Jia Lan doesn't hide his clumsiness.Unfortunately, Jia Lan's situation is extremely embarrassing.
As the only son left by the eldest grandson of the second wife, Jia Lan is the only blood left by Jia Zhu, but she always reminds everyone in the Rongguo Mansion of the fact that Jia Zhu died young.There are many reasons for Jia Zhu's death, and after careful investigation, I am afraid that including Jia's mother, it is inevitable that they are involved.Over time, Jia Zhu became a taboo in the Rongguo Mansion and could not be mentioned easily.
But the existence of Jia Lan is to mention Jia Zhu in a disguised form!
Originally, Jia Lan was not a big problem when he was young, but now that Jia Lan has grown up, he has shown a better talent in homework than his father.Even in addition to talent, Jia Lan also inherited his father's eagerness to learn, and his mother's cleverness, not to mention Baoyu, a stupid stone, even those precocious children from poor families are definitely not as good as him.Given time, he would really be able to obtain fame and glory.
In only three or four days, Jia Lan caught up with Baoyu's progress in learning.After another ten days, Jia Lan surpassed Baoyu in everything, no matter whether he was writing big characters, reciting a subset of scriptures and history, or answering questions from his master in school.At first, Jia Yucun only praised him in general, but after one month, he had to tell Jia Zheng the truth.
Jia Lan is not suitable for studying with Baoyu.
Hearing this at first, Jia Zheng was a little surprised. After all, he just heard that Jia Lan was eager to learn a few days ago, so why did he hear that Jia Lan was not suitable for studying with Baoyu?However, when Jia Yucun explained in detail, Jia Zheng was both relieved and angry.
It's not that Jia Lan can't keep up, but that Baoyu is too ugly.Jia Yucun originally taught Baoyu at the request of Jia Zheng. Naturally, in terms of homework, he mainly focused on Baoyu.But he is a scholar after all. Seeing that Jia Lan is too smart and his study progress is far behind Baoyu, he has to listen to those clichés patiently.Jia Yucun felt worthless for Jia Lan, and was afraid that he would not be able to teach Baoyu, so Jia Zheng questioned his ability. After thinking twice, he decisively told the truth, which made Jia Zheng a headache.
Jia Zheng really had a headache, and he wanted Jia Yucun to teach Jia Lan, but he couldn't completely ignore Baoyu. After all, this grandson cannot be compared with his son.After thinking about it, Jia Zheng resolutely decided to ask Jia Yucun to give Baoyu an extra meal.
The so-called extra meal refers to getting up half an hour early every day, going to bed half an hour late, canceling all frolicking and playing, and doubling homework.
In Jia Zheng's words, it's okay for the stupid bird to fly first, right?
The problem is getting bigger!According to Jia Zheng's thinking, his method definitely worked, and Zuo Baoyu didn't dare to resist his order.In fact, Baoyu did so, but Jialan followed suit...
According to!Do!up!
