[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

On the second day, Wang Xifeng sent someone out to invite a doctor.Doctor, please come here to catch the pulse—Irregular menstruation.

The doctor put away the small arm pillow, "This grandma is very tired, she needs to have a good rest and rest for a while."

Jia Lian sent the doctor out, didn't even return home, and went out for a stroll.

Wang Xifeng fell back in anger, scolded Jia Lian in his heart, and heard someone outside report that his wife was struggling and ordered someone to clean up the things in the garden.

Someone reported that the servants divided up the flowers that were stuck to the tree that night during the family visit, and the leftover candles were taken home.Not to mention other odds and ends... The people below all praised the wife for being kind, and she was more decent than the second grandmother, that hag, this is why the characters from the big family are not those who care about everything.

Wang Xifeng scolded people angrily at home, hating Jia Lian for being heartless and ungrateful, hating Madam Wang for being shameless, and hating for thinking that she was just a stickler.In the end, I had to lie at home and take care of myself.

After the concubine comes back, it is indispensable to tell the emperor and the queen mothers about the layout specifications of each garden.

The Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion is the best among these gardens because of its magnificence.

After the Taishanghuang heard this, he thought about the scenery of the garden and praised it again, because the first month had not yet come out, the Taishanghuang was still staying in the palace with his concubines in the harem, and the emperor had not yet opened his mouth to drive people away, so the Taishanghuang gave birth to a The thought directly called Linlin over.

"I heard what the concubine said. I heard that the rockery in their garden is well built. We also need to build a big rockery in the West Garden."

Linlin controlled her anger, and glanced at Jia Yuanchun who was sitting next to her. "The Grand View Garden in Rongguo Mansion has been rumored in the palace these days, and I have heard about it. I heard people say that when I entered the door, I saw a rockery and precipitous... But speaking of it, the garden in the West Garden of our home is not bad. As soon as you enter the door, there is a pond rippling with blue waves, and next to it is a rockery, isn't it better to have mountains and water than those rockery standing in front of the door?"

The imperial concubine answered on the sidelines, "The Supreme Emperor means that the rockery in the West Garden has lost some flavor after all. It will be demolished and rebuilt."

Linlin really couldn't control her anger at this moment.

"Forgive me, father. I don't know what kind of rockery my father likes. I think that my father's old officials Jiangnan Zhen's family should be very clear about my father's preferences. Why don't I ask the Zhen family to donate stones to make this rockery?" A rockery, what do you think? Moreover, the Taihu stones have always been produced in the south of the Yangtze River. As early as in the previous dynasty, the stones used in the Gen Garden were transported from the south of the Yangtze River. It is really the same as the strange rocks."

The Supreme Emperor was moved by this proposal.

"The queen is right. I haven't seen anyone from the Zhen family for a while."

The noble concubine is also very happy, as long as there are errands, she can make money.

Linlin closed her eyes, thinking in her heart that it would be a big deal for someone to rob these stones, or destroy a bandit in a cottage, let the people in her hands pretend to be bandits, loot the Zhen family, and then turn it into a If Ling went to other places, it was impossible for those officials to trace a murder case to other places, even if they did trace it to other places...it would depend on whether he had the ability to find anything.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor told Linlin with a smile on his face, "My good boy, go back and tell the emperor to order Zhen Yingjia to supervise this matter."

"I obey the order. If there is nothing else, I will go back first if I am here."

"go Go."

Linlin went back to the palace, asked someone to invite the emperor over, and told the story.

"It's all my fault that I shouldn't speak so fast."

The emperor shook his head, "I can't blame you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Transporting the stones takes a lot of hard work. If a civilian husband has an accident on the way, his family will beat the drums to complain, and Zhen Yingjia's skin will be peeled off even if he doesn't die. "

"And what if he sailed by sea?"

"There is always time for him to go ashore. Don't worry about it. I'll find someone to plan it out. It's too long to keep their family members. How many ghosts are waiting for their lives? If this family is not sent If we go down, maybe the underworld has already boiled over."

After finishing speaking, go to the front to dispatch troops and generals.

Linlin thought about it, and felt that her thoughts just now were very dangerous.

Called Bai Niu over, "You went to the Lin's house today, and you said that you were about to be stung. I will reward them with some things. When you come back, go find Gao Shengxue..."

"What letter do you want the servant to bring her?"

"Speaking of which, Gao Shengxue has defected to me for three years, but she was a bandit after all..."

"The master is kind to her. Besides, she has worked hard for you for so many years. How do you want to arrange her?"

"I thought that in this place in the capital, Chiqianwang Badao Temple, the little demon is very windy. Apart from being frightened and frightened, she is also a bit depressed in this place, so I asked her to go to Qianxiang Country with the fleet and ask her Why don't you want to give us the rice seeds? If he is obedient, we will be angry and do business with him. If he is disobedient...she knows what to do."

"Do you want to hand over all the people in the South to her?"

"I was stupid to give them all to her. Giving her 5000 people is enough."

"The servant girl is going out now."

As soon as Bai Niu walked to the gate of the palace with her things, she heard Bai Ze shouting at the gate, "Aunt Bai, where are you going? Take me with you."

Linlin called out from inside the hall, "Bai Ze come in"

Bai Ze ran in from the outside, Linlin took his hand and asked, "Did you study today?"

Bai Ze was acting like a baby over there, "My son has a stomachache and doesn't want to study..."

"You have a stomachache and don't want to study, do you? You see that your elder brother usually reads, why don't you learn?"

"Reading is boring."

"What about reading a storybook?"

"It's not interesting either."

"All right, all right, stop reading if you don't like it, don't go anywhere tonight, stay here and sleep with your brother."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

Linlin smiled and hugged this kid in her arms, thinking that your mother is still your mother, and wait for your mother to treat you.

Qilin studied in the morning and went outside the city in the afternoon. When he came back at night, his shoes were covered with mud.

Let someone serve you to put on new shoes outside the main hall, and come in to talk to your parents.

"The outside is already busy with fertilizing and spring plowing. My son used to only hear about the seasons and solar terms, but he didn't know that crops should be worked according to the seasons. Not only depends on the seasons, but also on the flowers and plants. Now the apricot blossoms When the peach blossoms are already in bloom, we must hurry up to plow the land, and when the peach blossoms are in bloom, we must sow millet.”

The emperor asked him, "Has spring plowing started on your Zhuangzi?"

"It has already started. My son is plowing the field with the old cow today. He stepped on two feet of mud and just took off his shoes and put them outside."

As soon as she said that, her stomach started to growl. The husband and wife quickly asked someone to bring the food, and took their three sons for dinner. Linlin saw that Qilin was exhausted, so she ordered someone to boil the bath water quickly.

He said to Qilin again, "Tonight, you two brothers, squeeze with your little brother, don't go so far."

Qilin agreed to take Bai Ze to take a bath, and Bai Ze was very excited about being able to squeeze in with his elder brother and younger brother, and he fell asleep after a long time and almost midnight.

Linlin lay on the bed at night and kept reading. The emperor had already fallen asleep, and when she woke up, she was still sitting by the bed and turning the pages of the book.

"What book is so beautiful, why don't you go to sleep? Go to sleep."

"Go to bed first, I thought of a way to cure Bai Ze."

"Treat him for what?"

"That kid doesn't want to study..."

The emperor sat up indifferently, "He doesn't need to inherit the family business, he can do whatever he likes, don't worry about it so much, go to sleep."

"Even if you can't inherit the family business, you can't grow into a waste. Can you do it if you don't study? If you don't study, you don't know how to be polite. If you don't know how to be polite, you don't know how to raise your children. One generation is not as good as the next..."

The emperor hurriedly held Linlin in his arms and shook her a few times, "My good lady, don't say a few words. What I want you to say is the same as our child's future will never be promising."

"If you don't study, you are worthless. There is an old saying that knowledge can change your destiny."

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

"..." Linlin defended forcefully, "This is the truth, how can a poor family stand up if they don't study."

"Bai Ze is of the blood of the Tian family. Let me tell you, don't toss so much. Be careful. In the future, his two brothers will fight for power and you will cry. Emperor Taizong's eldest grandson, Empress, raised two sons who fought to the death. , The lesson from the past is still there, so why don't you think about it.

Bai Ze is the son of the two of us, and I love him in my heart. Except that the country cannot be given to him, we only need to give him a thick title and a lot of gold and silver, and he doesn't have to carry the country on his shoulders. Wouldn't it be beautiful to live a carefree life at that time. "

"Then you can't give up your son. Tang Taizong also said that raising a son like a sheep is worse than raising a son like a wolf. Why don't you look forward to something better, maybe Bai Ze will be a good king in the future."

"All right, all right, what idea did you come up with to punish Bai Ze?"

"Just wait and see, there will be results soon."

After waiting for a while, Bai Niu came in from the outside, "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged."

Linlin quickly put on her cloak, put on a pair of soft-soled shoes, and told Bai Niu, "Find a pair of soft-soled shoes for the emperor."

After the emperor changed, he followed their master and servant to Zou Wu's bedroom.

The sleeping hall was dark, except for a candle lit in one corner, the light was weak.The emperor was about to speak but was pulled by Linlin.

The husband and wife hid in the shadow by the bed when they heard a creaking sound in the dormitory.

Qilin had been traveling all day and slept very soundly at night.Zou Wu was a night cryer last year, but this year he didn't cry at night. As long as this kid falls asleep, unless he wakes up by himself, it's a bit difficult for others to wake him up.

Therefore, only Bai Ze was alarmed by the loud noise.

The emperor could see the three sons lying side by side on the big bed, and the one in the middle moved a little.

Someone said in the darkness, "Which of these three little dolls is delicious?"

Another voice said, "Let me smell it."

In the darkness, Bai Ze could see two flames suddenly lit up at the head of the bed, and the two flames floated in the middle, swaying around his three brothers.

One said, "I can smell it. The kid in the middle hasn't started reading yet. His cleverness is useless. Why don't we eat it?"

"You've really smelled it. If you eat it wrong, it will be bad. If you eat it wrong, it can turn a smart child into a stupid fool."

"Don't worry, you can't make a mistake. The one in the innermost one is still a child who can't speak. We can't eat this kind of food now. The one lying outside has already started to use his cleverness. Since he has used his cleverness, we can't eat it either.

Only the middle one is left. If you don’t want to study, you don’t need to be smart. We eat it and eat it.For a child like this, someone in the family wipes his nose. In the future, if he wears crotch pants and plays with mud on the ground with a long nose, someone will take care of him.There's nothing wrong with eating his. "

"I think it's better to come back in a few days, in case he studies tomorrow."

"If you don't really study, you don't need to be smart. Even if he is willing to study tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... the day after tomorrow, he won't need this clever brain. Let's eat it."

Bai Ze was so frightened that his upper teeth clicked his lower teeth, and he sat up suddenly, "Come, come, come, there are monsters who want to eat me."

He saw the two flames in the darkness step back, and said quickly, "Let's go first, come back in a few days."

At this time, the bedroom was full of light, and a nurse ran in from outside, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Qilin had already been woken up by Bai Ze, and sat up in a daze, watching Bai Ze burst into tears, his little face was pale, "What's wrong? Did he have a nightmare."

"Brother, someone wants to eat me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you here well? You were dreaming just now. Come and hug me. It's almost dawn now. Let's sleep for a while. As soon as the sun comes out at dawn, those nightmares will be gone."

"It's not a nightmare, big brother is not a nightmare."

The emperor and Linlin stood in the shadow of the bed.The light couldn't shine on the two of them, and the emperor moved a little, wanting to comfort his son.

Linlin grabbed him tightly.

Bai Ze struggled to get out of bed, "Where's my book? Get the book quickly, I want to read."

Qilin hugged him, "What book are you reading at night, go to bed first, and read again tomorrow morning after you sleep well."

"No, no, don't stop me. If I don't study, I will become a fool in the future."

"But you don't need to study now. Besides, there are many people who don't study, and not everyone is a fool."

"Then have you ever seen those kids with runny noses squatting on the ground and playing with mud in open crotch pants?"

Qilin thought about it for a while, "I've seen it, there are quite a few in my village."

It's over, it turns out that what the two monsters said is true.

"Don't stop me, I'm going to study."

The nurses came up together to persuade him.Bai Ze refused to let go.The noise made Zou Wu wake up, and the guy started to cry after waking up.

Zou Wu's nurse apologized, took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed and hugged Zou Wu, and swayed and patted Zou Wu while walking.

Qilin couldn't care about his younger brother at this time, so he had to push his older brother down on the bed.

But Bai Ze cried and clamored to study, so Qi Lin had no choice but to coax him in different ways.

"If you don't like this, you start learning from your brother first, and you read a sentence after I read it. You can read after dawn. Reading at dawn will not hurt your eyes, otherwise your eyes will not be able to see clearly in the future."

Bai Ze nodded quickly.

"Zhao Qiansun Li Zhou Wu Zheng Wang..."

"Zhao Qiansun Li Zhou Wu Zheng Wang..."

After more than an hour, Bai Ze's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell asleep.

Qilin was yawning just now, and when he saw his younger brother fell asleep, he quickly lay down and covered himself with the blanket.

Zou Wu had already been put on the bed and fell asleep.

The dormitory fell silent, and the candles were blown out one by one.After confirming that the three sons were all asleep, Linlin gave the emperor a hand, and the two returned to the bedroom.

"For this little thing, you have spent a lot of thought."

"Of course, studying and making progress is the right way. If they become the kind of people who carry cages and racks every day, I will beat them every time I see them."

"How many days can you last for such a visit to Bai Ze?"

"As long as it lasts for a month and a half, it's not bad. I think that one month can form a person's habit. In the future, even if he forgets what happened today, he will also develop the habit of reading every day." Let's not talk about it, let's rest earlier."

Linlin took off the outer cloak and hung it on the screen, and the emperor graciously lifted the quilt and put the pillow away, "Miss, you have worked hard today, come and please."

The aftermath of this incident on Bai Ze is still very huge.

He came to look for Linlin early in the morning of the second day, "Mother and mother, two monsters entered the palace yesterday, saying that they specialize in eating children's cleverness. If I am eaten by cleverness, I will only be a monster in the future." A kid playing in mud with a runny nose in crotch pants."

Linlin rubbed her forehead, she didn't sleep well yesterday, she felt a little dizzy when she woke up in the morning, so she pretended to be perfunctory to him,

"You also wear crotch pants. Who doesn't have a runny nose when you're sick? Playing with mud... You haven't played with it, but you play with cloth tigers. What's wrong? I feel like I'm a big kid, but I'm not the same as a kid."

"No, no." Bai Ze shook his head anxiously, "When I went out of the palace with my father, I saw some children who were older than me with a runny nose and playing with mud. I don't want to become such a child. The children, their cleverness was eaten by monsters...I...mother, do you think I am clever?"

"Sure, my son is neither stupid nor stupid."

"Then it's still too late for me to study hard?"

"You want to study?

"okokokok."

"Okay, bring the book here, the mother will teach you here."

After studying for a whole morning, and having lunch with the Queen Mother at noon, Bai Ze cheekily approached and asked, "Grandma, grandma, am I smart?"

The Queen Mother of the West certainly felt that her grandson was unparalleled in the world, so she praised her grandson's intelligence and cleverness with a full load of words.

Bai Ze had to sleep with Zou Wu again at night, I heard that this kid kept his eyes open until midnight, and fell asleep when he couldn't bear it anymore.

On the second day, I ran over again and asked, "Am I still smart?"

Linlin put down the things she was busy with, "Will you still recite the book I gave you yesterday?"

Bai Ze nodded quickly.

Linlin touched his little head, "Of course he is smart. If he is not smart, you must have forgotten what I gave you yesterday."

Bai Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

Linlin observed for half a month, and found that Bai Ze thought he had escaped a catastrophe, and he relaxed and played around as before.But when holding him to read, he didn't resist as much as before.

All the villages outside the city have begun to sow grain and plant the land.There was a lot of discussion in the city because the emperor had issued a new decree.

Last year's New Year's Eve, the family visitation finally came to fruition, the garden was built well, and some things were rewarded.At the same time, a decree was promulgated to each family.Any family that has built a family-visiting villa can move their own family members into the villa.This is called having fun with the people, and does not let the garden go to waste.

The Lin family packed up Lin Daiyu's things, found a good day, and let her move in.

Because Rongguo Mansion has a large garden and many yards, each girl can get a yard.

The old lady discussed with the old man and his wife, and they put their girls and relatives' girls in, and Jia Baoyu was also put in.And because the garden is big, there are girls living in it. Fearing that no one will take care of it, Jia Zhu's wife, Li Wan, brought Jia Zhu's posthumous son, Jia Lan, to live in it.

Jia Lian felt a little unhappy, although her daughter is a little young now, isn't she a girl in the family?Even Xue Baochai from a relative's family lived in, and her own family was still crowded with her parents.

Wang Xifeng didn't take it seriously at first, "Our eldest sister's generation is small, and when she grows up, the above aunts will all marry off. When the time comes, we will move our girl in, and we can live in any yard we want. It's no better than squeezing into a remote The place is strong."

This reason reluctantly persuaded Jia Lian. Jia Lian thought back on what happened in the past year and felt that it is better to make a living.

So he thought about it and decided to find Cui Qiye to find a way.

This time I waited in the restaurant for a long time again, and the emperor apologized as soon as he went upstairs. "It's late again this time. I'll pay for the food and drinks later. There are a lot of things at home, so I came here in a hurry."

Jia Lian didn't come to drink, so he pulled the emperor to sit aside, "Don't fight with me, brother, I came to ask for something today, so that I can do my best."

"What's the matter? As long as you don't commit crimes, I will definitely help you... I can lend you small money, but not big money."

Jia Lian looked at him amusedly, "How much money do you have?"

The emperor looked around and lowered his voice, "I only have more than 2 taels of silver in my hand, and I dare not let our mother-in-law know."

"Where did you get so much money?"

The emperor looked around again like a thief, and covered his mouth with a cup, "I used to hide the private money. When my elder brother was still alive, I thought that if the family was separated, I was worried that there would be no money, so I hid it." A little bit. Because the amount is relatively small, I didn’t think about it when I got married, but I did think about it a few days ago, so I got this batch of money.”

"congratulations."

The emperor's hand pressed down, "I have to be careful, if my mother-in-law finds out, I won't be able to keep the money. By the way, why haven't you asked me to help?"

"I just want to find a profitable business, and there is one thing I can't let my family know..."

"Oh I see."

The emperor thought for a while, "Are you short of money to start a business? If you are short of money, I will put my private money into it. We both keep it from our family and make a little money quietly."

"That's easy to say, but what business do we do?"

The emperor looked around, "Salt, tea, grain. All three are fine. Salt and tea make the most money, but I can get very little salt and tea. If you want to do this business, I will tell you in advance." Now, don't sell private salt, if you sell private salt, we can't even be friends."

so serious!

"Then sell tea. Our family drinks good tea every day. I can still tell the difference between good and bad tea. Let's sell tea."

The emperor held out his hand, and the two clapped hands.Jia Lian had a total of 7000 taels of silver in his hand, and when he took out 6000 taels, the emperor also asked Qian Sheng to withdraw 6000 taels of silver.The two made a final decision, rented a shop, and decided to start selling tea. "

Neither of them showed up. This tea shop was entrusted under another pseudonym, and the shopkeeper and the cashier were assigned to the Cui family.

The emperor has many people under his command, so naturally he is not afraid that no one will use him.

The two finished one thing and went home separately.

Jia Lian went back full of joy, and saw that there was no sound in the room. He picked up the curtain and went in. He saw Wang Xifeng and Heping'er sitting there with sad faces.

"What's the matter? Why is it like this."

Ping'er quickly stood up, "It's all about family matters, where did Second Master go?"

"I went out to drink with Brother Cui. What happened at home made the second grandma frown."

Wang Xifeng raised his chin, Ping'er nodded and went to guard the door.

Wang Xifeng signaled Jia Lian to sit over, "It's amazing, I usually say that those girls in Baoyu's room are all powerful people, guess what I found out recently?"

"Those girls stole Baoyu's things?"

"If it were these things, I wouldn't think so much."

Jia Lian thought for a while, then suddenly raised his eyes, "I see, which girl in his room took the lead... and Baoyu became a good thing?"

"Why don't you just say that you are brothers? They are exactly the same." Wang Xifeng reached out and tapped Jia Lian's forehead, "Who else could it be? Attacking people. Wang Ri, I think she is a good person, who knows that she is so wrong?" Self-respect. These slaves in the family are too much, and it’s fine to arrange the master in the past, but now they have joined forces to plot against the master.”

"How to say? This is just an elegant thing for Hongxiu Tianxiang to study at night. Besides, the old lady and the wife have long wanted those girls to be Baoyu's roommates. You are here to worry about it."

"The old lady took a fancy to Qingwen, and she often said that she would leave Qingwen to Baoyu for a long time, but she didn't like Xiren. Let me tell you, not long ago, Xiren's mother took her home to live for two days. That boy Mingyan took Baoyu to Xiren’s house, isn’t that a partnership?”

Jia Lian doesn't care about this kind of parental matter, "Why do you care so much? Baoyu is a phoenix egg, and naturally there are old ladies and wives watching him. Don't stare at him as a sister-in-law and cousin. There is a good thing that you can't remember. Come here, there is something bad and you can see what your wife thinks of you."

"I didn't stare at it, but I used to think that it was appropriate to attack people. I gave her a high look, but now, hmph, I just think that I just fed the dog out of kindness."

Ping'er came in with a tray, and also interjected, "That's not the important thing. I heard that Baoyu's courtyard has been taken over by attackers. She has become more courageous, and she is different from when she came in."

Wang Xifeng said again, "Baoyu is not too old or too young to say kiss... Thinking about it this way, our second girl is not her husband's family yet."

"There is a master and a wife." Jia Lian said, took a sip of tea from the tray, tasted it carefully, and thought the tea was quite good.Now he is opening a tea shop in partnership with others, and he is more concerned about tea.

Wang Xifeng gave up talking about Jia Yingchun's marriage, "Baoyu should talk about kissing. The old lady fell in love with the Lin family a few years ago. The Lin family's cousin is about the same age as Baoyu. Now the Lin family is getting along with us in a lukewarm way. I'm afraid that the old lady will What do you think now.

I just heard that Sister-in-law Lai was sent out early this morning, to the Lin family. Later, when Sister-in-law Lai came back, she didn't have a smile on her face. "

"Anyone who has eyes knows that the girl from the Lin family is good. After marrying their girl, she will become the emperor's brother-in-law. I'm afraid the old lady made a mistake in her wishful thinking. Uncle Lin likes scholars the most, but Baoyu doesn't study. It's strange to get his eyes."

"Usually, it's the two of us who go to the Lin family to do errands. I don't think I can shirk the errands in the future."

"Marriage is good for two surnames, if people don't want it, the old lady can force it."

A few days after saying this, the old lady asked Wang Xifeng to go to your house to deliver rapeseed honey.

Wang Xifeng took her daughter and eldest sister to Lin's house as a visit.

Lin Daiyu led her elder sister to play in the garden.

Wang Xifeng hadn't seen the Lin family's garden yet, so she went to see it again, and accompanied by Xin Yun, she returned to Jia Min.

"I just like the garden of my aunt's house. It's well-built. Although our house has a scene at every step, it doesn't have the grandeur of my aunt's house after all."

Jia Min said a few words to her politely.

While talking, Mrs. Liu came in outside, "I have something to report to my wife and grandma. An old monk came outside and said that our old lady had lit a long-burning lamp in their temple before going to Jiangnan, and now the lamp oil is almost gone. That old monk came to ask our master if he still ordered."

Jia Min calculated, this time is not short. "Our old lady passed away for more than ten years... How much sesame oil did you give up at that time?"

"In the beginning it was 1200 catties, but when I left, I left money and bought another 600 catties.

What the master means is to ask the wife and grandma to transfer the money, and when it was still lit before, it will be continued at this time, and our grandma, the girl and the second master will also light it. "

After hearing this, Jia Min said to his daughter-in-law Xin Yun, "Go and give them some money. Your husband is about to take the imperial examination. Our family will give some clothes, shoes and socks to the temple. It can be regarded as doing some good deeds and making some Buddhist ties." , bless your husband in high school."

After hearing this, Xin Yun said some polite words to Wang Xifeng, and went out to transfer money.

Wang Xifeng came to deliver canola nectar today, the old lady didn't have any extra orders, and she didn't do any extra things herself.So let's talk about the matter with Jia Min about burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

"...Our family also often lights lamps in temples, but only one or two hundred catties of sesame oil can be used for more than half a year. I heard people say that the wicks are different, some are thicker and some are thinner, so the fuel consumption is also different."

Jia Min answered, "That's the reason. If I remember correctly, the temple that our old lady often goes to was visited by our old Hou Ye earlier. I heard that the lamps in that temple are all They are the same, there is no difference in size, and the wick is also the same, meaning that all living beings are equal.

Speaking of which, our old lady has been away for many years. When she was still there, she often took the empress to burn incense. "

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he thought that this temple still enshrines the ever-burning lantern of the empress, and immediately became interested. "Which temple can you tell me? My nephew and daughter-in-law will also light one for our eldest sister."

"The Xiangmu Temple in the east of the city is not a place where cigarettes flourish."

"That must be a place where there are great virtuous monks. Thank you aunt today. I will send someone to order a cup for our eldest sister tomorrow. I will tell my aunt that apart from the old lady and the wife who are elders in the family, these juniors The son is also Baoyu who lights the ever-burning lamp all the year round. He has a named godmother named Ma Daopo, who comes twice a year and offers no less than 500 taels of silver each time. As I just said, one or two hundred catties of sesame oil can’t be ordered. Half a year, how can it compare to this Xiangmu Temple, the whole family is almost 100 catties of sesame oil a year."

After talking all morning, after lunch, Wang Xifeng took her daughter home, ordered her to be sent back, and came to see the old lady herself.

Wang Xifeng said enthusiastically, "I saw my aunt. I used to be so busy every time I saw my aunt. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, I have started to be an old lord."

He also said, "My eldest cousin is about to take the exam, so I dare not speak loudly at home. Listening to my aunt, I want to go out and ask the Buddha to bless my cousin to be the champion."

The old lady had no expression on her face when she heard this, "It's time to say goodbye, your cousin will be admitted to Jinshi in a blink of an eye."

Mrs. Wang felt a little sad when she heard this, thinking that if Zhu'er was still alive, she would definitely be slaughtered by the official right now.

The old lady asked again, "What is your sister doing at home?"

"The left and right are only reading and writing. I don't know what they know about the scholars, and I didn't talk to my cousin. My cousin came out to meet people and then turned back."

There was something in the old lady's words, "This is the upbringing of our girls. These girls are chaste and docile. How could they hang out and make fun of their brothers every day?"

Xue Baochai, who was sitting on the side, pretended not to hear, and looked at the people in the room with the corner of his mouth curved.

Afterwards, Mrs. Wang took Xue Baochai's hand, "Good boy, don't take what the old lady said to your heart. You and Baoyu whispered to her last time when your mother was visiting relatives, and she nodded in agreement. Let Baoyu settle things down for the two of you when he gets old."

Xue Baochai blushed, but said goodbye in a dignified manner.

Mrs. Wang wanted to tell a lie in her heart, and she always had other words to make up for it. When she sent the money to the palace in two days, she would quietly tell the empress about it.It is impossible for the old lady not to agree to what the empress promised.

The old lady thought about it for a long time in the house. In the early years, Jia Min sent someone back to say that she wanted to form a family with her family. At that time, she wanted to leave such a good in-law to Baoyu.

Who would have thought that the Empress Empress would have such a great fortune.

Now the relationship between the Jia Lin family is getting further and further away.It may be difficult for my uncle to recognize Baoyu as his son-in-law.

Since the Lin family can't go this way, let's change another way.But Baoyu absolutely cannot marry Xue Baochai, Xue Pan is in the Xue family, not to mention helping Baoyu in the future, as long as you don't hold Baoyu back, you will be Amitabha.

Old relationships at home need to be sorted out.

The courtyard is full of vitality. As a grandmother, the old lady of Jia's family only thinks about planning for her grandson.

The Empress Dowager Xi in the palace is also a grandmother, and she also considers her grandson in her heart.

On this day, the emperor was invited to her. As soon as he sat down, the emperor poured two cups of tea, "What do you want, old man? I'm a little busy these days, and there are imperial examinations outside. Who are the officials in the court to invigilate?" Noisy and annoying."

"I don't understand the outside world. I have something to discuss with you today. Didn't I go to the Bodhisattva to make a wish a few years ago? I think our Zou Wu is healed now, so I want to go to the Bodhisattva to make a wish."

"Then go, you tell the queen, let her prepare things for you, and assign good people, you just go, stay comfortably for a few days, and if you don't want to, send someone to tell your son to bring you back. "

Thinking that the old thing who is too emperor has finally gone out, the old thing is not in the palace and feels that the wind blows is refreshing.Thinking about coming to the queen mother should also feel this way.

"I still want to take Shouchun and Princess Changchun there."

The emperor waved his hand, "Take both of them and sisters."

"I saw that Bai Ze had been studying very hard in the past few days, so I brought him there too... What do you think?"

The emperor thought back on Bai Ze's life in the past few months, he was more nerd than a nerd, maybe the queen had overcorrected.

"Your old man is right, studying hard, take him out to play for a few days. As for Zou Wu, don't take him with you.
