Just after noon.
The two sisters, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, each occupied a corner of the Arhat bed, chatting with each other.
At the beginning, what was discussed was nothing more than the right and wrong of the Rongning Second House, but after chatting and chatting for some reason, Mrs. Wang looked up and down Aunt Xue.
Those suspicious eyes made Aunt Xue's heart beat when she saw it, and said embarrassingly, "What are you looking at, sister? It seems that you don't know me anymore."
Mrs. Wang laughed when she heard the words, grabbed a few peeled candied chestnuts, gave half of them to Aunt Xue, and said with admiration: "You said that you have been ill, not only did you not see relief, but your face was downcast. There is more blood, and the red is full of joy - if you are a few years younger, you can pretend to be the new daughter-in-law."
She was just making fun of her, but Aunt Xue almost stopped her heartbeat. Her face was blushing and her hair was hot. She hurriedly lowered her head and swallowed a chestnut to hide her panic.
But Mrs. Wang has been with her day and night in the past few years, how can she not see her strangeness
At the moment, he wondered: "What's the matter with you? Could it be that there is something to hide..."
"Ma'am, ma'am!"
Just as he was talking, he saw someone hurriedly walked in, but it was Yuchuan'er, the second-class maid who replaced Caixia, and saw her eagerly saying: "Just now, there is a doctor from Yihong Courtyard, it seems like a second-class maid. Grandpa is really sick!"
"what?!"
Now Madam Wang didn't bother to ask any further questions, she stamped her feet and said, "This debt collector, how can you say that he is sick?!"
Having said that, he walked out on his own.
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and she hurriedly left the sugar-fried chestnuts behind, and followed step by step.
Speechless all the way.
When they arrived at the Yihong Courtyard, a group of Yingying Yanyan led by Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu had already rushed over, and at this time they were surrounding Baoyu with greetings.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue had arrived, all the girls rushed forward to greet them.
Mrs. Wang, however, did not care much, and took two steps in three steps to reach Jia Baoyu's bed.
Seeing him leaning on the head of the bed, although she was trying to put on a smile, but her eyes were not full of energy, Mrs. Wang became more and more anxious, and repeatedly asked: "This is so good, why is it sick again? ?! What did the doctor say? Where did you get sick from, or did you accidentally catch the cold?"
Speaking of the back, she couldn't help but stare at the few maids in the room.
She Yue's mouth was quick, seeing that she seemed to express her anger, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Yesterday, the second master was fine..."
Halfway through speaking, he was stopped by the attacker: "Yesterday, the second master was a little unhappy, and then he wrote an obituary for the old man of the Dongfu, and he even lost his soul - fortunately, the doctor said that it is not a big deal. It's just that over-thinking hurts the heart and spleen, and it will take a few days for a good life to be raised."
After listening to her remarks, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered that she had already given her son a sick number yesterday in order to prevaricate You Shi.
Shunzui said a few more harsh words, then turned to blame his son, no matter how filial he was, he shouldn't have hurt his own body.
In fact, Jia Jing went out of the city to practice Taoism and Xuanxuan more than ten years ago, and he may not be able to come back twice a year. How much family can he have with Jia Baoyu
When Jia Baoyu wrote that sacrificial text yesterday, it was just a habit of hurting spring and autumn, and he forced himself into it, completely irrelevant to filial piety.
But since Mrs. Wang has already set a tone, everyone naturally followed her words and praised him. Your words and my words are like twenty-four filial piety.
There were a few who were not good at touting, and they just kept their mouths shut, but Lin Daiyu quietly approached and asked Baoyu what exactly was written in the sacrificial text.
If someone asks, Jia Baoyu can't tell if he doesn't know what to do.
But in front of Lin Daiyu, I remembered the dejected and world-weary words in the sacrificial text, which were diametrically opposed to the eachother's alliance established by the two. How could Jia Baoyu dare to tell the truth
He faltered for a few words, seeing Lin Daiyu's serious suspicion even more intense, and he was sweating profusely.
Fortunately, soldiers suddenly came to the rescue at this time - but it was Wang Xifeng and Li Wan who had been ill for a few days.
As if receiving a pardon, Jia Baoyu hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Sin, sin, how can you even disturb the sisters-in-law?"
Then they asked if they had recovered from their illness.
Wang Xifeng was more calm than usual in this scorching world, covering his mouth and saying, "I have a heart disease, and today the eldest master has come forward to return my innocence, and naturally it will be cured without medicine. "
As he spoke, he squinted at Li Wan again: "How can it be that sister-in-law's illness is getting better so quickly?"
But it turned out that this morning, Jia She took the initiative to explain to the old lady, admitting that she had instructed her daughter-in-law and son-in-law to do business together without telling the family.
However, the information revealed by Wang Xifeng inside and outside the words is far more than that simple.
Li Wan also laughed when he heard the words, shook his head and said, "I'm sick just to let you hurt. Now that you're so good now, why am I still sick?"
Immediately it caused a lot of laughter.
Those who are confused laugh happily; those who are half-understood and half-confused are teasing with laughter; those who really understand smile with sigh and sympathy.
Only Jia Baoyu didn't smile. He sat on the bed in a daze, and didn't see any reaction for a while.
Xue Baochai was the first to see that something was wrong, for fear that he might be hysterical for a while, and then clarify what he couldn't say.
So he hurriedly stepped forward and gently shoved Baoyu, and changed the subject: "It's a pity that you are sick at the wrong time, otherwise you can go to the next door to see something rare."
Jia Baoyu was disturbed by Baochai. He looked up and saw her winking again. After being stunned for a while, he finally understood, so he asked, "What's so rare? Sister-in-law Zhen is so busy right now, why are you so embarrassed to look at it? Her rarity?"
Xue Baochai pursed his lips and smiled, but he refused to get too close to him in front of people, so he pulled Shi Xiangyun over: "This matter has to be told by Sister Xiangyun, it will be vivid."
Shi Xiangyun did his part, and talked about the Tianshi Mansion case inside and out, and he did not forget to entrain a lot of private goods, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
At the end, she said again: "When I came back in the morning, I heard that the second brother of the Sun family was going to be raised in the manor to ask the case."
"really?!"
Jia Baoyu immediately straightened his spine, his legs drooped under the bed, and he pulled to put on his shoes to get up, complaining, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I haven't seen the second brother come to a case for a while!"
Seeing that he was so hot, Mrs. Wang came to persuade him all the time.
But Jia Baoyu is interested, how can he be the master who listens to people's persuasion
What's more, looking at his excited appearance, his condition seemed to be a little lighter, and Madam Wang finally had to go with him.
But in the end, he was still uneasy, so he simply brought a group of Yingying and Yanyan to Ningguo Mansion for 'condolence'.
This walk is a piece of Wuyangyang, and in the end, only Li Wan and Aunt Xue are left.
Aunt Xue didn't want to meet Sun Shaozong, so she declined Mrs. Wang's invitation. Seeing that Li Wan had also stayed, she immediately sank and walked out alone without saying a word.
He had thought that Li Wan followed reluctantly, and rebuked her maid and mother-in-law arrogantly.
Aunt Xue originally intended to stop it, but she was afraid that there would be trouble here, and then someone would see something, so she had to suppress herself first.
When the maids were all led away by Suyun and Yindie, she said coldly: "What else is there to say between you and me?"
Li Wan also suppressed the smile on her face, solemnly blessed her, and said, "I'm ashamed of my aunt, and I didn't dare to say anything at first, but just now I saw my aunt's brows sullen, and I thought to see what was going on. A place for atonement."
"No need!"
Aunt Xue left three words and wanted to turn around and leave.
However, Li Wan stopped in front of her and said earnestly, "No matter how much my aunt hates me, some things can only be discussed with me. Besides, I have some experience in the past few years, even if it's just for Wenlong's sake. Xue Pan Zi Wenlong] Cousin and Bao girl, aunt should not refuse people thousands of miles away."
If it was just a few days ago, Aunt Xue might not have been able to hear these words.
But now, the annoyance in her heart has subsided a little, and she almost showed herself in front of Mrs. Wang just now, so after hesitating for a while, she finally reluctantly stayed.
But she refused to take the initiative to ask Li Wan for 'experience', so she just kept her face sullen, with an attitude of 'you tell me I'll listen'.
Fortunately, Li Wan was just worried that she would be exposed, and then dragged herself into it, but she didn't care whether she hated her or not.
At the moment calmly, I invited Aunt Xue to a nearby pavilion, and said softly with a low voice: "Actually, after I had an affair with him, I was in a state of panic for a while, as long as anyone looked at me, I always felt that I was being kidnapped. Saw something."
This remark made Aunt Xue feel the same way, so she involuntarily pricked up her ears.
"Fortunately, I was reclusive in my daily life, and Su Yun could solve my worries, so during that period of time, no one really saw any flaws."
This does not apply to Aunt Xue very much.
On weekdays, not only did she have to contact shrewd people like Mrs. Wang and Xue Baochai from time to time, but there was no one around her who could talk to her heart.
Seeing Aunt Xue frowning unconsciously, Li Wan said again, "I'm afraid it's difficult for Auntie to follow this method, but there is another method. Auntie might as well give it a try."
"What way?"
Aunt Xue finally couldn't help but ask.
Li Wan said sternly, "Aunt may wish to think carefully about the grievances and unwillingness she has suffered from being a widow in these years, and then ask: Why?!"
Aunt Xue was a little confused and said in surprise, "Who to ask?"
"Of course I asked myself, I also asked the dead ghost, and I asked this thief God!"
Li Wan suddenly became a little excited, and slapped his heart heavily: "I am also a human, a woman of flesh and blood! Why can't I enjoy the gentleness and consideration of men like a normal woman after suffering so much? !"
Aunt Xue was taken aback by her sudden outburst, she opened her mouth hesitantly, but she didn't know what to say.
Seeing her like this, Li Wan restrained a little bit, stretched out her hand to hold Aunt Xue's soft weed, and said sternly, "It's okay to say it's self-deception or it's out of context. If you don't want to fill your chest, you won't feel guilty anymore."
Aunt Xue's brows furrowed even tighter. Obviously, for a while, there were still some who couldn't accept this method of self-suggestion.
However, Li Wan got up from the stone pier and said softly: "How to get over this hurdle, it is still up to my aunt to make up her own mind."
With that, Wei Wei Yifu walked out of the pavilion.
Aunt Xue was stunned for a while, until the maids came over, and then she returned to the Hengwu Courtyard with a frown.
…
But she said that Li Wan's master and servant hid by the roadside and watched Aunt Xue go away, and Su Yun asked a little nervously: "You said that she is so ignorant, she won't really be seen, right?"
Li Wan shook his head noncommittally, and said after a while: "Compared to this, I am more worried that she will be swayed by grievances, and will be like me before, and will continue to entangle with the Sun Family Erlang."
Hearing this, Su Yun's face became a little strange. After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't help but probe: "Grandma, you... do you really want to cut off communication with Master Sun?"
"how?"
Li Wan gave her a sideways look: "Are you reluctant?"
"No no no!"
Su Yun Nagen admitted, and said hurriedly: "As long as I can follow my grandma, I don't think about anything!"
Unexpectedly, Li Wan sighed: "But I am a little reluctant."
After speaking, no matter how Su Yun reacted, he went straight to Daoxiang Village.
