Chapter 89: Pardoning the Disaster
Since Jia Lian left Beijing, Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to move into the main room and sleep with him every night.
Even so, it is difficult to explain Jia Lian's worries about leaving home. Moreover, he is getting heavier and heavier, and he has to manage tedious household chores at the same time. After being together for several times, it is inevitable that he will lose energy and become haggard.
With her appearance, even her nephew and daughter-in-law, who often came to see her, often advised her to pay more attention to rest, but she just ignored it.
Only Jia Mu saw this and ordered her to resign as housekeeper.
Mrs. Wang had no choice but to restart Li Wan to take over as her housekeeper.
It’s just that Li Wan has a gentle nature, and there are many people in Jia’s family who rely on the old and betray the old, cheat and cheat, and look after others.
Seeing that Li Wan failed to take care of many things and had unclear rewards and punishments, she paid less attention to Li Wan, which led to delays in some matters and unclear arrangements. Mrs. Wang could only ask the housekeeper and daughters-in-law to do many things. Go ask Wang Xifeng for advice.
Wang Xifeng was originally a person who was greedy for power and showed off. Seeing the situation at home, she even thought that everything would go wrong if the family left her, so she became more and more arrogant. Although she didn't dare to take away Li Wan's power due to Jia Mu's order, she would sit on the kang and explain everything clearly to them whenever the people below came to ask her something.
It wasn’t until her belly swelled that she was tormented more and more, that she really put aside her family affairs and hid at home to wait for the birth.
It was hard to get through to the beginning of July. Fortunately, the baby was born and the mother and daughter were safe. Everyone in the family breathed a sigh of relief for her.
Jia Mu even sent mandarin ducks to visit her every day, bringing ginseng, cinnamon and other supplements, not afraid that she would not have them, but that she would not be able to eat them.
Only Wang Xifeng herself had vowed to give birth to a boy to avoid her worries, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a daughter, and she felt sad for a long time.
Unexpectedly, not long after her daughter’s full-moon wine, a letter from Jinling broke the tranquility of Jia’s house again.
Xue Pan, the eldest son of Xue, was involved in a life-threatening lawsuit and wrote to Beijing for help!
When Wang Xifeng heard that something had happened at her aunt’s house, she couldn’t sit still. She quickly came to see Mrs. Wang for discussion, asking what the reason was.
"I heard that they were competing for an actor, and they started fighting when they disagreed. Maybe they didn't know how serious the attack was, so they beat the other person to death.
Human life Guan Tian, Pan'er, this unsatisfactory evil obstacle!"
Mrs. Wang sighed, scolding her unfulfilled nephew, and handed the letter to Wang Xifeng to read.
Wang Xifeng said: "Qian'er heard what the master said, recognize it.The Jiayu Village where our family members were married has newly appointed Yingtian Mansion, and this case happened to be tried under him. As long as we do a little bit of work, we won't have to worry about settling this case! "
Mrs. Wang sighed: "That's all we have to do.
I have already written to your aunt and told her to take Paner and Baochai to move to the capital together.
It just so happened that she had said before that she might come to Beijing this year, and now that this happened, she would definitely agree.
Their house has been unoccupied for more than ten years. It must be troublesome to clean it up. Now your uncle is not at home, so I want to bring her to our house... You can check it out for me later. Find out what the old lady says and see if she agrees..."
Wang Xifeng understood the truth as soon as she heard it and said with a smile: "The old lady likes liveliness most, and my aunt and Baochai are both good-tempered. People who don't have to worry about the old lady not agreeing. I'm worried that although our house has many houses, I'm afraid there won't be any suitable place for my aunt and her family to live. "
" "You don't have to worry about this. There is a courtyard in the northeast corner of our house. It was originally built as a retreat for the late Duke when he was still alive. Although the place is not big, it is still big." The quietness is enough for them to live in.
There is no need to worry about the master. Just wait for the old lady to nod, and you can go and clean it up. "
Wang Xifeng agreed with a smile, and said a few words to Mrs. Wang about the life lawsuit, and then went to Jia Mu's room to look for a chance to talk.
Jia Mu is indeed a lively person. She also met Aunt Xue in her early years and had a good impression of her. As soon as she heard Wang Xifeng speak, she knew that her daughter-in-law was embarrassed to speak, so she asked Wang Xifeng to play a supporting role.
< br /> didn’t care at all, just smiled and said: “That’s good. I heard that the son my concubine gave birth to was not good, but she gave birth to a daughter. She is an excellent daughter. Her writing and appearance are all excellent, but really? "
"I don't dare to vouch for this with the old lady. After all, I have only seen her when she was very young. But from what my aunt said, she is much better than me. "
Jia Mu sneered and said: "Of all the women in this world, no matter where you come from, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find one who is more showy and unsubtle than you. Naturally, all of them are better than you. Hello's. ”
After a smile, the matter was settled.
Let’s forget about others. When I heard that the Xue family’s uncle beat people to death for a trivial matter, I subconsciously Everyone had a bad impression of the Xue family, but Jia Baoyu clapped her hands happily and twisted her hands when she heard Jia Mu and others say that the Xue family's daughter was "good-looking and very good at writing" Jia Mu, I wish I could pick him up tomorrow and show him!
It’s like thisLess than two months later, the Xue family arrived in Beijing as promised and were welcomed by Hefu, which was naturally very lively.
Only Wang Xifeng is always happy and disappointed.
Not only was he worried about Jia Lian, but he also suffered from the long distance to the border and the inconvenience of writing letters. He couldn't understand Jia Lian's current situation, so he was inevitably worried every day.
As the saying goes, what you think about every day is what you dream about at night. For several nights, she dreamed of Jia Lian fighting the Tatar army. How could he, who was so delicate and handsome, be a match for those ferocious barbarians? Then she saw him bleeding on the battlefield, which frightened her so much that she screamed in her sleep. If Ping'er hadn't called out to comfort her, she would have fallen ill.
Perhaps she was afraid that something might happen, but the news coming back from the border made Wang Xifeng almost scared to death.
Many Tatar tribes took advantage of the onset of winter to cross the border to grab food, money, and women. They had many fierce battles with the soldiers stationed on the border. Each side had its own victory or defeat...
Wang Xifeng could not sit still. Regardless of the consolation of Mrs. Wang and others, she tried every means to find out about Jia Lian's situation.
As a woman with no noble status, what effective channel can she have to find out about the life and death of the little fifth-grade military attachés trapped in the border?
It was only then that Wang Xifeng realized that she could only make waves in the Jia family. Once she left this three-acre land, she would be no different from an ordinary woman.
Fortunately, she was sure that her uncle Wang Ziteng would be fine, and if Jia Lian followed him, nothing would happen.
She could only comfort herself in her heart.
Things outside were not cleared up, but something happened to Jia She again.
Previously, I just said that I was not feeling well, and no one paid much attention to it. After all, winter has come, and there are more and more illnesses. Today, it’s either that I’m not feeling well, or that I have a fever and cough. Just ask the doctor to take medicine.
Who would have thought that Jia She was different. The illness was as severe as a mountain, but within a few days it was as if he was about to die.
Seeing that she couldn’t hide it any more, Mrs.
Jia Mu came over with a cane to take a look. She saw that Jia She’s face was black, his lips were green, and he was lying on the bed trembling all over. Even when he saw her coming, he couldn’t say a complete sentence. I was shocked and asked why.
Mrs. The doctor was of no use. He only said that the master was too weak and had taken too much silver mercury pills.
How could the master believe that he sent the quack doctor out and asked for help?The imperial doctor came to see..."
Jia Mu asked, "Okay, why did the table knock? "
Mrs. Even though he was half sick to death, seeing Jia She's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help scolding him and just asked: "What did the imperial doctor say? "
"The imperial doctor initially told me that it was pretty much the same as what the doctor said. Seeing that the master didn't listen, he just prescribed some medicine to take and see...
Who knew that he would take it? Not good at all!
Yesterday, I just invited Dr. Wang to come to my house for a visit. After seeing it, Dr. Wang also looked solemn. Today he came again and he said..."
"He said What, say it quickly! ! "Mother Jia banged her crutches.
" Doctor Wang said that the master is mentally weak and physically weak, and his five internal organs have been damaged, combined with... kidney water depletion, energy failure, and blood vessels. A lot of stagnant things have condensed, which have poisoned the body. The only way to nourish the body with medicines that nourish the essence and concentrate the mind is to nourish the body with high-quality tonics, and there may be room for recovery. I just told you not to take those elixirs that only promote energy. They said that those elixirs have side effects, and the old man's body can no longer bear it. ”
Mrs. Then in half a year, you will be in danger of your life.
