Daiyu's wife in the Red Chamber

After the decline of the four families of Jia Shi Wang Xue, in Chang'an City, Jia She's family was taken care of by Daiyu and Nan'an Wangfu, and the historian family was managed by the Ge family and took in the female family members. The brothers, sisters, husband and wife took shelter under Jia's family. Although they didn't have the prestige of rampant and unscrupulous in the past, and there were often incidents of walls being toppled and pushed by everyone, they managed to win a peace.

However, the families who stayed in Jinling did not have such luck.

In the past, relying on the high sky and the emperor's distance, and the support of the capital, the children of the four families on the ground in Jinling were used to being arrogant and domineering.

When Jia Shi Wang Xue's four families were in glory, their power was overwhelming in Jinling, and the locals could only swallow their anger when they were bullied. Now these four families have suffered a complete defeat, and only Jia She is left in the capital. They dare not cause trouble, let alone protect Jinling This kind of person, the sufferer who was persecuted by him before had no scruples, and instead punished those who bullied him back then, so that most of the children and slaves of the four families of Jia Shiwang Xue were imprisoned, and there were no innocent people left in Jinling. In the place of shelter, I tasted the taste of being bullied by the family of dignitaries and dignitaries.

Li Wan took his son and belongings to the south and went to his natal brothers. His father was dead and his family was in decline, so his natal family returned to Jinling early.I don't want to, the younger members of the Li family who are married to the Jia family also relied on the power of the Jia family. Although they did not commit all kinds of crimes, they did do a few things that aroused dissatisfaction from the local people.Moreover, Li Wan's mother and son are married women, and going south to Ning really hurt the reputation of the clan. Li Wan's brother inherited his father's education since childhood, so he rejected him.

Li Wan has about tens of thousands of taels of furniture in his hands. Although bad luck has happened repeatedly, his beloved son is an adult and has both civil and military skills. Take care of the portal affairs, and there is no loss on the road.After the Li family refused to take him in, Li Wan felt sad and had no choice but to buy a house and settle down.

Unexpectedly, Jia Lan is the eldest grandson of the Rongguo Mansion. Even though he is innocent and has never done anything wrong, in the eyes of the world, since he has enjoyed the glory and wealth brought by the Rongguo Mansion, he should bear the resentment of the suffering master. Mostly it came from the people's fat and people's ointment, so Li Wan's mother and son and Jia Zhu's mother and son did not have a peaceful life.

On the one hand, there is the revenge of the suffering master, on the other hand, the oppression by the rich and powerful, and the harassment by the local ruffians. At first, Li Wan wanted to calm down and make peace, but it was inevitable that he would lose money and avoid disasters. In short, the greed became more and more insatiable. In less than half a year, more than half of Li Wan's property went away, and even though there were several Zhuangzi under the names of her mother and son, but there were many rats and thieves, and the drought and flood were uncertain, so there was no harvest. Jinling, not to mention Jialan's future.

Not only Jia Lan's future is bleak, even Li Wan can't marry Jia Lan if she wants to, but if she likes others, they don't like them, and if they like them, they think the other party is poor.

At this moment, Li Wanfang regretted it too late.

One day, I suddenly heard that Jia She's family was quite powerful in the city of Chang'an. Jia Lian climbed up to Nan'an Palace and became a fifth-rank official historian. Xichun married Han Qi again. It is not as good as before, but it is a hundred times better than ordinary people. I can't help but think of Wei Ruolan's high position and authority, and she is deeply trusted today. Almost no one dares to provoke her. After thinking about it again and again, Wan took Jialan back to Beijing.

When he arrived in the capital, he didn't dare to go anywhere else, and it was too late to set up boxes and cages. Li Wan took Jia Lan to Jia Amnesty's mansion in a dusty manner, pleaded guilty to Jia's mother, and cried about his desperate situation in Jinling.

When Baochai and Baoyu arrived, Li Wan Jingchai's cloth skirt, covered in wind and frost, with a tired face, knelt in front of Jiamu's bed. He seemed to have finished his narration, and was crying on the ground: "I wanted to save some blood for the uncle, but I don't know what to do." Suffering from the gossip, he returned to Nanjing. Now that he thinks about it, he has committed a lot of crimes and felt ashamed. He dared not ask the old lady for forgiveness. He only asked the old lady and the old man to take Lan'er in for the sake of the old man's early death and give him a place to live. Don’t ask him to follow me as a widow and be bullied everywhere, and have no peace every day. I live by guarding Lan’er all my life, and I have nothing to ask for. As long as Lan’er is safe, I am willing to die immediately.”

When Li Wan spoke, Jia Lan also knelt behind her, with tears all over her face.

Baoyu thought of how his parents had been exiled to this day, and that his brothers and sisters had all died when they were young and middle-aged. Today, Li Wan has been guarding Jialan alone for more than ten years. They had a particularly bad time in Jinling, and they had to travel thousands of miles back to Beijing, so they couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

Baochai was a little uncomfortable. One was that Li Wan had done it on her own, and the other was that Jia Lan was no longer a child. She was only two or three years younger than Baoyu and was already an adult. People have to accept the meaning.

Baochai knew that she had no room to speak here, so she greeted Jia's mother and stood aside without saying a word.

Jia Lan hadn't seen Baoyu and Baochai for a long time, so she didn't dare to look at Baoyu and Baochai for a long time. She mourned and said to Jiamu, "Mother is doing it for me! If it wasn't for me, mother would never have acted like this. I dare not ask my ancestors to forgive me." I only ask my ancestors to allow me to bear all the punishments instead of my mother, and give my mother a place to spend her old age in peace."

Looking at Jia Lan in front of the bed, with a handsome appearance and an elegant demeanor, she seemed to be Jia Zhu reborn. Thinking about the past, Jia's mother had tears in her eyes. Even if there were thousands of words, it was difficult to express them coherently, so she could only express them with her eyes. Yuanyang said, "Get up, get up."

As far as people who speculate about Jia Mu's intentions, He Fu is not as good as a mandarin duck.

Fortunately, Jia Lian and Sister Feng were grateful for Yuanyang's little friendship in the past, so Jia Amnesty, who was successful, did not stir up old troubles, and still asked her to take charge of the affairs of Jiamu's house.

After receiving Jia Mu's instruction, Yuanyang sighed, and said without revealing any thoughts: "Grandma, Brother Lang, you must be very tired after coming back from a long distance, the old lady told you to get up and sit down and talk. With that said, he ordered the two servant girls to help Li Wan and Jia Lan get up and put them on the two drum stools in front of the bed.

Just when Li Wan and Jia Lan were uneasy, Yuanyang said again: "The old lady means that the matter is over, and there is no point in pursuing it. After all, everyone has their own selfishness, but selfishness can vary. Saints It is said that knowing the mistakes can make things better. Since the grandma and Lang Geer have repented and want to reform themselves, the old lady has no reason not to forgive. Besides, freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and our glorious Rongguo Mansion has fallen Up to now, it is not the fault of one person. Today, in Long En, our family is lucky to survive. The only grandchildren are Lian Erye and Bao Erye, and the great-grandchildren are Xuan Geer and Lan Geer. It is even more necessary to watch and help each other so that the glory of our ancestors can be reappeared."

Hearing that Jia Mu was willing to forgive them, Li Wan and Jia Lan were so excited that they could not speak. green.

Mother Jia felt sorry for Jia Zhu's little blood, and hurriedly said, "Don't! Don't! Don't!"

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Grandma, Lan Geer, the old lady is considerate, you must never bow so painlessly again."

Jia's mother agreed: "Yes! Yes!" Regardless of Li Wan's behavior, she has raised a son and grandson for the Jia family, and Jia's mother has always liked Li Wan's chaste and chaste self-control.

Li Wan said with tears: "I came here full of regrets, but I didn't dare to expect the old lady's understanding. Now that the old lady is so kind, I don't know how to repay her. I can only kowtow to the old lady. Go back and eat fast and chant Buddha every day, and pray to God for the old lady, so that the old lady can return to her old self."

At that time, Sister Feng just rushed over. She and Li Wan had been at odds for a long time in private. Hearing these words, she couldn't help curling her lips. Just as she was about to sarcastically, she saw Mother Jia turned her eyes to her, seeming to be pleading.

Sister Feng understood Jia Mu's intentions, she pursed her lips, and finally swallowed the words that were almost out of her mouth.

Mother Jia hurriedly conveyed her meaning to Yuanyang again, but Yuanyang had no choice but to say: "Second Mistress, the old lady wants to put the eldest grandma in the wing room, and Lange lives with Third Master Huan and Third Master Cong. , urging each other to study, which is very beneficial." She and Sister Feng made friends, and she didn't want to express Jia Mu's meaning in her heart, but Jia Mu had this intention.

Sister Feng was quite dissatisfied. The first and second households had already separated, and Baoyu moved out tactfully, relying on her own craftsmanship to live, and refused to come to ask for blessings. What does it look like for a widow and grandma to live with her son in the uncle's house?After I agreed to this matter, how would I explain to Jia She and Mrs. Xing later?You must know that they love Baoyu, but they don't have so much pity for others.When Li Wan was the housekeeper and director of the Rongguo Mansion, the situation of the big house was worse than when he was the housekeeper.

Other things can still be forgotten, except that all kinds of things after Jia Xuan's birth are all ups and downs in Sister Feng's heart, and Jia Xuan is the jewel in Jia She's palm. The two are not as good as Jia Lan.Jia Lan is the eldest grandson of the fifth generation. At that time, Jia Zhu was still alive, and it was really a collection of thousands of favors.

Therefore, after hearing what Yuanyang said, Sister Feng flatly refused, saying: "The ancestor loves his great-grandson, so he shouldn't have said such words, but after all, there are two families with the same surname, so how can there be any reason to live together again? Besides, Now our family’s mansion is not the original Rongguo Mansion, our house is narrow, and there are few empty courtyards, our own house is too crowded, how can we afford to pay for Bodhisattva?”

Li Wan blushed immediately, his lips twitched for a moment, but he didn't know how to respond, all the sharpness he had seen in front of Sister Feng in the past disappeared, and he could only wipe his tears with a handkerchief, with a distressed expression on his face.

Sister Feng raised her willow eyebrows, hung her phoenix eyes, and snorted coldly, her attitude was extremely ruthless.

On the contrary, Baoyu thought that Jia Lan was the only heir of his elder brother, and he took more care of Li Wan, so he couldn't help but softly said: "The old ancestor loves his sister-in-law and Lan'er, and it is reasonable to want them to live nearby. It is also reasonable that Sister Feng is difficult to entertain guests from afar because of the narrow house. In my opinion, it is better to take a step back and find another place to live with sister-in-law and Laner, or be neighbors with me and Sister Bao, sister-in-law and uncle Nephews take care of each other, we come from the same surname and branch, if we encounter difficulties, please ask Sister Feng to think about the friendship we have gotten along for many years in the past, and resolve it for us."

When Baoyu spoke, Sister Feng had already turned her anger into joy, and she was very affectionate with a smile. She didn't speak sarcasticly at Li Wan's mother and son at all, and said, "Brother Bao, you really have made great progress and are very reasonable. You should be called Brother Xuan tomorrow." It’s good to imitate. We are sisters and uncles, we don’t need to say such words, can I just watch you being bullied by others? As for others, they may not care about me, a poor family.”

Li Wan was ashamed, stepped forward and gave a deep bow, and said sadly: "Second Mistress Lian blames me for being ungrateful and committing an unacceptable sin. I implore Second Mistress to give me an atonement." Opportunity, let me watch Lan'er marry a wife and have children in peace, even if I die immediately, I am willing."

Sister Feng quickly avoided, and said calmly: "Although I am the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, there are masters and wives, and there is the second master Lian. The matter is related to the two families, and I cannot be the one to decide."

Saying that, he ordered the servant girl to report to Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing.

Feng Shui takes turns, Jia She and Mrs. Xing felt relieved when they heard about it. When they were living in the east courtyard, who would have thought of today?Although there is no such wealth and honor as in the past, everything is going well, and life is more comfortable than before.

Jia Amnesty had little contact with Li Wan at all, and Mrs. Xing had no dignity when she was in charge of Li Wan's housekeeper. Today they want to take shelter under their own sect, how can such a good thing happen?Therefore, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing ordered people to spread the word: "There is no reason for two families with the same surname to live together in the same house. However, if you ignore it, it seems unreasonable. It is better to follow Baoyu's words and live next to each other. Look at it." For the sake of the same surname and family, I will never watch you and others suffer from a disaster."

As the head of the family and Jia Amnesty have both said so, Li Wan and Jia Lan naturally cannot live in a brazen manner. Fortunately, the two of them have already prepared in their hearts.

Baoyu was walking outside, knowing people well, so he hurriedly sent out Mingyan to help them run errands.

The location here is very precious, and no one rents out the house easily. Li Wan and Jia Lan couldn't find a suitable place to live, but Jia Huan thought of studying with Jia Lan, and suggested that they temporarily stop Jia She from giving them to him. I will move out when I have a suitable house. Anyway, I am not married yet, and I still live with Jia She.

Daiyu hadn't paid attention to the Jia family's movement recently, and it was half a month later when she found out about it, and it was when Sister Qiao came to ask her to examine her homework.

But Daiyu didn't pay attention to this matter, probably because something happened to Wei's family.
