Returning the Way (44)

Wang Xifeng said that Lin Yutong naturally went there. When she arrived at the door of the Jia family, she happened to see the people from the Lin family.

Needless to ask, I knew that Daiyu sent someone to deliver things to Grandma Jia. Because of Xiangyun's incident, Lin Ruhai was unwilling to ask Daiyu to come to the Jia family. During the holidays, everyone came to take a walk, and then they beat people back without food. Grandma Jia stayed in the early stage, and later Baoyu got married. In another case, Grandma Jia herself stopped calling Daiyu over. Every time Daiyu hit someone, she always said not to worry, she was pretty good.

The things given by the Lin family are naturally good. Just this time I saw them, there must be a car. The food, food, clothing and wear are naturally the best things, and they are also prepared according to Jia Mu's preferences.

But when Yuanyang put himself in to see Mu Jia, he saw the empty hall, no flowers and decorations. There was also the incense in the house, and the smell of incense that had never changed was now gone. The apples on the table were not big, and they should have been stored for a long time, and the skin was wrinkled. Although these things were not eaten, they were just used to smoke the house. But how could Jia Mu have used such shabby fruits?

Yuanyang's dress is much simpler than usual. He didn't say a single word about the situation in front of him. He still looked like a smile. "The old lady is really short-sighted. She can't sleep more often at night, but she always can't wake up during the day. I always say that the yin and yang cannot be reversed. It is too heavy at night, so it's not good to hold on. But for such a long time, the old lady is so old, so she can't adjust it."

It’s not that I can’t get transferred, but that my family business has failed. The old lady has been suffering from it all night and night. She is afraid of seeing people during the day, so she makes her rest on the excuse and becomes a real rest. She just passes day by day.

When I went in today, the old lady was still asleep. I don’t know whether she was sleeping or pretending to sleep. Maybe she was half-dream and half-awake and didn’t dare to face reality.

Lin Yutong looked closer and saw that the room was dark and the curtain was lowered, but she couldn't see it clearly.

Yuanyang took the initiative to lift the curtain, and Lin Yutong was shocked. It turned out that the rich old lady was now thin with bones. Her face was wrinkles, but her face was not normal white, but pale that she hadn't left for a long time. She had a forehead smear on her head, but the pins seemed to be the craftsmanship of Yingchun. In the past, the old lady looked down on such a craft. Now Yuanyang is busy, and she has to worry about everything about the old lady inside and outside, so she may not have time to do needles and threads for the old lady. There is also the white end, which was grayish white before, but now it has turned completely white. Such a person is lying under the quilt, and she can't see the ups and downs without looking closely. She is as thin as a child's body.

Seeing Lin Yutong looking carefully, Yuanyang pretended to call the old lady, Lin Yutong stopped her and pointed outside.

The two of them went out quietly, and Lin Yutong said: "In theory, if the mansion is not worth the amount, no one should have deducted the old lady. If you don't say anything else, the master and the master are definitely not such people. You are too honest. If you don't tell the master, why don't you ask someone to tell me a message? I will do it more convenient than you."

Yuanyang shook his head: "Even if the master is filial, he is... he has some misunderstandings about the old lady. For many years, because the master and his wife did not move out, the master was very resentful... Now he only kowtowed outside the door to pay his respects, and he never came in. What about the master? Occasionally, he came to sit down. When the master came, he sent a lot of things over and gave him a lot of things. He just left, and the eldest lady must come. He only said that the old lady was not energetic now and could not use such things. He raised many servants who ate meat and drank blood for nothing, and said that he would keep it for the old lady, regardless of what it was.

All of them were taken away. The master came in again and was bound to blame him. He turned around and said, "Madam, the wife only pushed her to the eldest lady, and said that she would take her here and there. If she couldn't fall into the old lady, she wouldn't give her any more. The master stopped talking. The lady said, "If you want something missing, just go... But for a long time, it may not be enough to run ten times a day. You need frosted sugar at this time, and then you need sugar at a time, and then you have to replenish the flavor." Her tone was a bit lonely, "In the past, such things, not to mention piles of mountains and seas, it was also a waste of cars and no one felt sorry for them. Now I want a 20-t-half-pound pound, so

I have to go and get along with others for a long time. It's okay for the second grandma to go, as long as I go, there are always some. But after asking for it a few times, it made the eldest lady unhappy and asked for the second grandma several times, and it was hard for me to go. Another thing when I left the old lady to live at home was the same as the old lady. Her food, clothing and clothing were the same as the old lady. The second grandma subsidized the second grandma, and the eldest lady said that the second grandma was ripped in the inside. Later, she only beat Ping'er to secretly subsidize it. Baoyu and Bao's second grandma were good. They often asked the old lady for the dishes they like from the kitchen, and then beat Qingwen to secretly deliver it to her.

The wife didn't like the second grandma Bao, and Baoyu didn't dare to talk much in front of the wife." As she said that, she sighed again and took out a purse: "This is what Baoyu sent in this morning..." She poured out the things in the purse, which were a few bad silver pieces. "There is a lot of money in the room. The wife looked at the second grandma Bao and couldn't move the money. Baoyu said that the money was earned by himself, so she gave it to me and told me to buy it outside for the old lady... The old lady was awake at that time, and she didn't say anything when she heard it. When Baoyu left, she cried and felt a little uncomfortable.

Lin Yutong frowned so much that she could kill mosquitoes. What was this called? So she said, "The things sent by the Lin family are also collected by her wife."

Yuanyang nodded: "I didn't see the old lady in the house at all."

"Since that's the case, you should hit someone and tell Miss Lin." Lin Yutong said, "She would never have thought that the family is worth the most. Then I will not hand it to the mansion in the future, but only send it to you. You always take care of the old lady."

Yuanyang knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Yutong: "I never thought that the old lady had to rely on you in the end."

"Get up!" Lin Yutong helped Yuanyang up: "You are a good girl, you serve the old lady well, but you have to take advantage of the old lady still sober and think about yourself more."

"Old lady is here, I'm going to be fine. The old lady is gone, and I'm still dead." Yuanyang said, wiping her tears, "Look at me, what are you talking about? It's getting late, so I won't leave my grandma. Another day, the old lady will be better, I'll go and kowtow to my grandma."

After seeing Lin Yutong off, Yuanyang turned around and saw the old lady opening her eyes. She hurried over: "Old lady, you are awake. Today, there is stewed old duck soup, steamed soft green rice, soaked in soup, do you use some?"

Jia Mu looked at Yuanyang with a side face, then stretched out her hand and asked Yuanyang to help her up.

"Old lady..." Yuanyang hurried over, but was grabbed by Jia Mu. She pointed to the dark lattice beside the bed, "Cook it!"

Yuanyang glanced at the dark grid and asked the old lady to go, so she went there, took the small box in the dark grid and handed it over.

Jia Mu took off the key on her neck and opened the box with trembling hands, but saw round rubies inside.

Even the mandarin ducks who have seen the world have never seen such a top-quality gem.

Jia Mu looked a little sad: "This is what my grandmother gave me when I got married. She told me that I hoped that I would never open this thing for the rest of my life, and then become a burial with me, and follow me to the other side... I now know what this means. If a husband and wife are harmonious and filial to their children, I will not need this thing in this life. Now... Although there is no desperate situation, the family business is here, what can I do?" She took out a gem and handed it to Yuanyang: "Good girl, you have served me for a while, and you can't let you not fall in love. Your body is here.

In the silver bracelet you give you, you will just go to get rid of your slaves. This red treasure is your dowry. Keep it, just like me, don’t touch it if you don’t reach a desperate situation.” He stuffed it to Yuanyang without saying a word, and then closed the whole box, “Go and hand it over to Tong Yatou, tell her to take out the half inside and send it to Daiyu. It is my grandmother’s dowry to her, and ask her to keep it for me. If the remaining half is left, please give it to Baoyu. In the future, if Baoyu and Yun Yatou are at nowhere, give this to Baoyu..."

It seemed like explaining the funeral.

Yuanyang's tears fell, but he didn't dare to make a sound. The old lady here had already urged: "Go! Get the matter done."

Lin Yutong felt it was ominous when she received something from Yuanyang, and knew that it was probably because of the bad lady Jia.

But I didn't expect it to be so soon.

A few days later, Yingchun first told Lin Yutong's nanny who was going to deliver the baby that Xiangyun was going to give birth. Before the man was killed, news came from there, saying that the child was born, but Xiangyun couldn't save it and was gone.

This is unexpected, but it cannot be said that it is unreasonable.

Xiangyun is not yet in her prime, and she hasn't grown up yet. She is younger than Daiyu. Mrs. Wang is already negligent, and she has not given birth to a child. Now in this medical condition, the strong women have entered the gates of hell, let alone her like this. From pregnancy to childbirth, she has experienced so many things. She has not had a good baby, but it was at night when she moved. Baoyu was beaten to Taoist temple and went to the temple to be a temple. Xiangyun should have moved before the day. Qingwen was anxious and reported to her wife. The wife said that her first child was slow and she was not in a hurry. Seeing that the pain was not a solution, she went to find her eldest grandma again, thinking that she could have given birth to her, and she had never given birth to her. But the eldest grandma only said that she was a widow and was afraid of collision when she entered the delivery room, so she didn't go.

The second grandma went to set up a new house and didn't come back today. For a while, she didn't know who to look for.

In the end, there was no other way, so I went to find the old lady, but I was stopped by Yuanyang. I didn't ask to disturb the old lady, but I helped me pass the message. But before anyone could reply, Xiangyun had earned a baby on her own. It was a boy, about four pounds. The old lady helped to take out the things in her mouth and cried. But Xiangyun was bleeding heavily and the person was gone before the doctor she invited arrived.

At this time, the wife came and said that Xiangyun was a person who was unlucky, and then asked someone to clean up and prepare for the funeral. She didn't even look at the newly born child. Qingwen didn't dare to let go and ignore the child. If she didn't care, the child's life would have to be taken into account. No matter how Yuanyang stopped him, she would carry the child to see the old lady. The second grandmother Bao could not hide the matter from the old lady.

In this case, Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master were invited by Mother Jia to come in.

The child was placed next to Jia Mu, and the old lady called the people from the two houses of the Jia family, and Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were there too.

Jia Mu said to Mrs. Wang: "I know you are planning to marry Baoyu with another family. But if you have that idea, the child will become more and more thorny in the eyes. Baoyu is young and will not be missing any children in the future. For the sake of the good of the child, I will be the leader today and also ask Brother Heng and Tong Yatou to testify, and adopt the child to Lian'er and Feng Yatou..."

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng suddenly changed their faces, but immediately afterwards, the couple looked at each other and no one said anything against them.

I don’t have a son, and now I have given him a son. His bloodline is not far away, and he is even a child who is related to both of them.

Jia She originally disagreed: "My eldest house does not need to adopt the second house's descendants."

"What a big house and second house? Lian'er doesn't need to inherit the title. The couple is separated, so why are they still having a big house and second house?" Jia Mu gasped, "This is my last request in my old woman's life. Do you just say it should be ok or not?"

Jia She's mouth moved, and he nodded.

So the child was written in the names of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and Jia Lian named it Jia Gui.

The names were recorded in the genealogy, and these people seemed to have forgotten one thing. Lin Yutong reminded: "What's so important, why is Brother Bao not here?"

The family regarded a man who had become a relative and had children as a child. The man's wife died and decided to adopt the son of the other party. However, there were so many people here, but no one wanted to tell him and ask him for his opinion.

Jia Mu pointed at Mrs. Wang and scolded, "Isn't it called Baoyu yet."

She really didn't know that Baoyu didn't know about Xiangyun's death. She just thought that the child was sad now, and she might not be able to take care of her.

Mrs. Wang looked at Lin Yutong with a little resentment, but she still beat someone.

Baoyu came back and went to see Xiangyun first. He kept urging him here, and the girl on the other side said, "One Master Bao wants to wash and wear Grandma Bao Er himself..." He disliked the indecent tidying up.

This sentence made Lin Yutong feel so sad that many girls couldn't help but cry.

Jia Mu was crying, but she waved her hand and no longer asked anyone to urge her.

Baoyu came to see the child, handed it solemnly into Wang Xifeng's hands, and then turned around and left.

Mrs. Wang shouted: "The child is adopted by your second brother and your sister Feng, they don't..."

"Since you have decided, why tell me?" Baoyu did not look back and stood there and said, "It is not important to give up a son. Now that I have asked me to give up my son, my wife just thinks it's just giving up my son." After that, she went out without stopping.

Jia Zheng scolded a villain and wanted to call someone to stop him, and he was very tempted to beat him. Mrs. Wang was afraid that Baoyu would be beaten, so she stopped Jia Zheng, hoping that Baoyu would go away and never ask him to catch him. Therefore, no servants in the family stopped him, and just watched Baoyu walk out.

The old lady seemed to have thought of something and shouted: "Baoyu--"

Unfortunately, Baoyu had already walked away at this time and could not hear it.

When the old lady saw the ending of her children and grandchildren, her eyes were like bleeding. Her thin fingers turned toward Baoyu's departure, and then her eyes became wider and wider. Before everyone could react, she fell straight backward and never got up again.

Jia Mu's funeral was in a normal manner. Mrs. Wang insisted that she did not have any cash in her hand and that the eldest son had the family business and should be buried with the old man, but she refused to take out the money.

Jia She was in charge of funerals according to his ability, so naturally it was not much fun. Jia Lian took out another 2,000 taels of silver to buy nanmu's longevity for the old lady.

Baoyu was only found from Qingxu Temple when the old lady was about to die. He kowtowed to the old lady and personally helped the old lady and Xiangyun's coffin back to Jinling. However, when he left, no one had any news about him. It seemed that he had really disappeared from the world. Of course, this is a later story.

Now Mrs. Wang didn't know that, she just wanted to wait for Baoyu to come back. After the old lady's filial piety period, Baoyu also made a wife filial piety. She also went to Lin Yutong's door and asked Lin Yutong to help inquire. Even if she was a concubine's daughter, their family would be willing to hire her. Lin Yutong thought to herself that the old lady had decided to leave, but she didn't see it. She couldn't refuse, but she just agreed blindly, but knew in her heart that no matter how she agreed, she would not be able to use it.

Besides, how could the concubine daughter of the high family marry into their family? When the old lady was buried, Jia She asked Jia Zheng to move out of this house. Now they live in a house of Sanjin, only Jia She took Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou. Jia Huan followed Tanchun to Jiangnan again. Tanchun often had letters with Xichun, and the letter also said that she did not intend to call Brother Huan back. Tanchun was staring at Jia Huan there, a girl from a merchant family, and was a bit fierce, but the family loved this girl very much. The dowry she prepared was hundreds of acres of paddy fields, three shops and two big houses. Moreover, the man in the clan, Xingwang, got married to such a family, which was conducive to taking root in Jiangnan. She asked Wang Youdao to write a letter to Jia Zheng himself, telling the many benefits of getting married, and Jia Zheng directly entrusted it to his son-in-law without Mrs. Wang.

Not long after, Aunt Zhao was going south again. It was said that it was a letter from the Wang family. The letter said that Tanchun was happy, but it was so good that she was very happy. After millions of aunts from the Labor House went there, she brought another 10,000 taels of silver to Jia Zheng. Mrs. Wang took the silver here and let the people go quickly, and she was not upset.

Xichun also said to Lin Yutong: "I'm afraid that the third sister will try her best to drag it back and not call it back."

This is true. As long as you get sick and you can't get up, who can force you to come to Beijing?

Lin Yutong asked the Fourth Master: "Wang's family is like this, but has things changed?"

It's just that things have changed.

"Prince Teng has not moved..." The Fourth Master shook his head: "He is too greedy, just thinking about suppressing the last. He wants to set aside the credit for turning the world at this critical moment, but he doesn't look at it. Both sides can give him a chance?" He attached himself to Lin Yutong's ear and whispered: "The bandits in Taipingzhou have inexplicably wiped out... But not long after, Japanese pirates appeared on several islands near the West Sea Yanzi... In the past two months, the court has received three memorials from Japanese pirates disturbing the border. A strange thing. I don't know where the Japanese pirates came from, and the more they suppressed them..."

This means that someone let the bandits in Ping'anzhou go to pieces and go south to the sea to the island, pretending to be Japanese pirates and want to go ashore. From this point of view, the bandits in Ping'anzhou are not just bandits. The bandits are not so disciplined and have actually completed such a large migration, but the prefectures along the route have not received any news. The plan for these people to go to the island must be quite large. The West Sea Yanzi was still the governor of the Nan'an County Prince. Not only did they not report this, but they also called the "Japanese pirates" getting bigger and bigger. Then the answer was about to come out. The master behind the "Japanese pirates" was the person whom these old ministers wanted to protect. Jia Jing didn't tell the secret until his death, so he was afraid that it would be him.

Wang Ziteng, who is patrolling the border, doesn’t know about such a big thing?

Why don't you say it if you know?

In the early stage, he was waiting and watching. In the later stage, he wanted to make a big deal.

What did Zhou Peiyu, the old minister of the secret document, have you not noticed such an important matter, or was he unable to report it, or did he have some changes?

The Fourth Master said, "The Emperor sent Marquis Jinghai."

The current Marquis of Jinghai is still Wen Tianfang's father.

What followed Lin Yutong further met Wang Ziteng's coldness. On this day, Xue Pan came. He sent invitations. Two happy events, one of which was Baochai. Baochai was going to become the concubine of the Prince of Annan. After the days were set, he decided to set the eighth day of the next month. On the same day, Xue Pan married a flat wife. He was talking about Xia Jingui from the Guihua Xia family.

He smiled embarrassedly at the Fourth Master: "Plan for the children! Plan for the children!"

It means that Yu Liu has never had children.

The Fourth Master ignored this and asked, "How did you kiss the Nan'an Palace?"

"It was my aunt who mentioned it. I went to the letter and asked my uncle, and my uncle also said it was okay." Xue Pan was very excited and climbed to the King of Nan'an. In his opinion, this was a great joy. The more violent the troubles the West Sea Yanzi was, the more stable the Prince of Nan'an's mansion was.

Of course, it was not wrong for him to think so. Moreover, this marriage also brought him benefits. For example, the Xia family, the Xia family and the Xue family are also a match. Even if there are only orphans left in the family, they will never be wronged and concubines. It is said that they are a fair wife, but they are actually not a concubine? I am afraid that the Xia family is attracted by the Xue family and has met with the relatives, so that they will meet the marriage. The Xue family has no one in the palace, but the Xia family still has court worship. This is a line. The Xue family is attracted by the Xia family, not by the Xia family, nor by the many wealth this girl can bring, but by the Xia family, they want to establish a relationship with the palace through the Xia family. However, who would have thought that his uncle would cheat his nephew like this. The truth of the matter is far from what it looks so beautiful!
