But they said that just as they were drinking and fighting in the Ningguo Mansion, a major event happened in the Rongguo Mansion - Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's only daughter, Qiao Jieer, suddenly developed smallpox in the afternoon.

There is a proverb that says, "Having a baby is only half of it, and the flowers are the only thing that is complete", which shows how dangerous this acne is. Although Wang Xifeng has always been strong, he couldn't help but panic at this time. He sent people to ask for a doctor and sent someone to find Jia Lian.

.

She was looking for Jia Lian because she was ill and sought help from a doctor. However, Jia Lian had been feeling depressed for a long time recently, and he finally started to act like a wild cat.

He was already drunk and unconscious.

Jia Zhen and others who were at the same table heard that it was Sister Qiao who had acne, so they did not dare to neglect her, and the servants hurriedly carried Jia Lian back home with a sling.

But it was said that Wang Xifeng was upset, coaxing her daughter who had a high fever and was crying non-stop. Suddenly she heard thunderous snoring outside. She took a look at the curtain with the child in her arms and saw Jia Lian, disheveled, lying on the Arhat bed.

The loud snoring was as loud as the sound of her daughter's cries.

Wang Xifeng suddenly became furious and stepped forward and pinched Jia Lian's thigh several times. Jia Lian changed his position with a squeaking sound and fell asleep like a dead pig again.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she ordered Jia Lian to be carried out and thrown into the snow to wake up. If he still couldn't wake up, he would freeze to death!

That's what you say, but how can the servants dare to listen?

He only carried Jia Lian to the outer study room to rest.

Before dawn the next day, Jia Lian finally regained some of his consciousness and stumbled over. He originally wanted to check on his daughter's condition, but Wang Xifeng was still angry. Not only did she not let him see her, she also sneered at him.

Jia Lian was still hungover. Although he knew he was in the wrong, he was still willing to show weakness to Wang Xifeng. The two of them had a big quarrel, and from then on there was almost no room for change.

But after scolding Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng felt sulky outside for a while. It was not until the maid reported that the medicinal soup was ready that she personally carried it to the inner room.

When I entered the door, I saw Ping'er sitting cross-legged on the bed, holding Qiao Jie'er and gently patting and shaking her. Because she stayed awake all night last night, her upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and her head was biting, but her hands were

The action never stops.

The little sister Qiao in her arms had a blushing face, her eyes were closed tightly, but her hands were tightly grasping Ping'er's front, and she was obviously very dependent on her.

Wang Xifeng was speechless as she looked at the young and old. The scene in front of her could be said to be a friend in need, but Ping'er's hoofs were truly extravagant. She really didn't know how to treat Ping'er for a moment.

After a long while, she quietly approached the bed with the medicinal soup in hand.

Ping'er smelled a strong smell of medicine and opened her eyes subconsciously. When she saw that Wang Xifeng was holding the medicine, she wanted to wake up Sister Qiao in her arms to take the medicine.

"There's no rush yet."

Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "This medicine is still hot, not to mention that she finally fell asleep, so let her sleep a little longer."

Ping'er nodded silently. The master and the servant, one at the end of the bed and the other at the head of the bed, looked at each other but didn't know what to say.

After a while, Wang Xifeng took the initiative to start the conversation: "Yesterday, my wife sent a message that Sister Xue's birthday was on the 21st, and we were asked to help Haosheng organize it. What do you think of this?"

Hearing this, Ping'er frowned and said in surprise: "In the past, on Miss Xue's birthday, she would enjoy herself behind closed doors. At most, she would invite a few girls and Mr. Bao. Why did she change the rules this time?"

After a pause, she added: "Why don't you just follow Miss Lin's approach?"

"That's what I said at the time."

Wang Xifeng sighed and said helplessly: "But my wife said that Sister Xue got a hairpin last year, but our family was so busy that we even missed such a big event. It's time to make up for it this year. Since it's a gift to make up for the hairpin, why not?"

It would be better to be more solemn."

"this……"

Ping'er's brows furrowed more and more, and he hesitated: "Is that matter really going to be settled? What will Miss Lin do?"

In the past, the Xue family enjoyed themselves behind closed doors, no matter how extravagant and lively they were, but this time the Rongguo Mansion came forward to celebrate Xue Baochai's birthday. If it greatly exceeded Lin Daiyu's regulations, what did Sister Lin think?

But she is also a serious person...

"That's not the case. Girl Lin probably has no hope."

Wang Xifeng sighed: "She is unlucky. She has lost her mother since she was a child. Her father also passed away two years ago. She is alone in our house. She used to point to a precious jade and miss her, but now she has fallen out again. Now we see her.

They didn’t even say anything to each other.”

As she spoke, she reached out and touched her daughter's hot little face, and her expression gradually became determined: "Besides, I pity her, who can pity us two? That's all, everyone sweeps the snow in front of his own door and doesn't care about the frost on other people's tiles.

Just follow your wife's wishes and try to make it as lively as possible."

Although Ping'er felt sorry for Daiyu's loneliness and helplessness, he had nothing to do about it and could only silently pray that Sister Lin would find a good home in the future.

The two of them looked at each other in silence again. At this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family came to the door and said that Mr. Zheng gave up the warehouse and took out the pure gold dhow as a gift to the historian to wish Marquis Baoling.

Smooth sailing.

This thing was prepared just a year ago. It was originally planned to be sent to Shi Nai before he went to sea, but Jia Zheng suddenly changed his mind.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly took the key and the key to Lin Zhixiao's family. Since it was an important item, he also issued a separate note as a voucher.

After a lot of trouble, the one-masted golden sailing ship was placed in front of Jia Zheng, and he took it to the historian's house.

As evening approached, Jia Zheng returned home feeling drunk, and with him was Shi Xiangyun.

Not to mention how Shi Xiangyun met the sisters, how he chattered about the wonders of the wedding day, and how he encouraged Yingchun to borrow the Three Kingdoms Killer to come back, and spent the middle of the night to get addicted to playing cards.

But it was said that Jia Zheng returned to the back house, changed his clothes, washed up, and drank two cups of sobering tea. Then under Mrs. Wang's expectant eyes, he said slowly: "Sure enough, you are right. The historian really intends to kill Yun Yatou."

I promised it to Chang Qing, but I am concerned about his background, and I am still a little undecided now."

After a pause, he added: "By the way, my cousin also asked me to ask my mother what she meant."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be happy when she heard this. She now believed that Jiao Shun was her family's lucky star, and she didn't want to create a barrier with Jiao Shun because of these things. Now that the historian wanted to get married, she must have something to do with it.

strength.

So he hurriedly took care of everything: "Then I'll go ask the old lady for instructions early tomorrow morning - if you ask me, since the historian has this intention, the old lady won't stop it."

Jia Zheng was noncommittal about this. He lowered his head and drank half a cup of tea before he took a deep breath and said, "Actually, from what my cousin meant, Baoyu is what I really care about."

"this……"

Mrs. Wang said sarcastically: "Baoyu has always regarded her as his biological sister and has no thoughts in that regard."

This is of course an excuse. If everything was done according to Baoyu's wishes, how could there be such a thing as a good relationship?

What really hinders this marriage is the fact that the Shijia is only in name only, but only in name only. This title is not completely useless, but Rongguofu is now more name than reality. Combining with the Shijia will only be hindered by it, and there will basically be no positive benefits.

.

What's more, in Mrs. Wang's eyes, there is also a difference between closeness and distance.

Jia Zheng was aware of this, but he was too lazy to delve into it.

After all, when it came to duplicity, he himself did not hesitate to give in. After explaining the serious matters, Jia Zheng said that he would go to the outer study to draft an official document. As a result, only a quarter of an hour later, he appeared in Aunt Zhao's room.

A night of silence.

The next day, Mrs. Wang went to greet the old lady a quarter of an hour early. She did not say that the historian had any concerns, but only said that she was worried about any inconvenience in the Rongguo Mansion, so the historian wanted to consult Jia Mu first.

Auntie will make another decision.

After hearing this, Mother Jia was silent for a long time, then shook her head noncommittally and said: "I am old, and I can't see it as clearly as you. What's more, the married daughter throws away the water. How can I make decisions for my mother's family? As long as they themselves

If you think about it clearly and don’t regret it in the future, just let them do whatever they want.”

Although the old lady did not explicitly agree, as long as she changed her words slightly, it could be regarded as 'approval'.

While Mrs. Wang was secretly thinking about how to tamper with the old lady's words so as not to betray her, she also chatted with the old lady about some common gossip, showing off her behavior as a good daughter-in-law.

It wasn't until Mrs.

Seeing Mr. Xing's energetic and rosy skin, which had swept away the gloomy look of the past few days, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but curiously asked a few questions, but she didn't expect Mr.

Mrs. Wang immediately misunderstood and thought it was Jia She's fault. She secretly thought that the eldest man was several years older than his younger brother and was already in his sixties. She didn't expect him to still have such a heroic spirit.

On the other hand, Jia Zheng...

Some of the dragon-horse spirit stimulated by the medicine was also used on Aunt Zhao. How could she ever miss her married wife?

Mrs. Wang felt sour for a moment, and she couldn't bear to see Mr. Xing behave like that, so she casually found a reason to part ways with Mr.

It happened that Ms.

Mrs. Wang originally wanted to go back and report to Jia Zheng as soon as possible, but now she was in no mood. She walked a few steps in the yard and suddenly remembered that Shi Xiangyun should be sleeping in the side room now, so she went straight there.

Who would have thought that in the side room, besides Xiangyun's maid Cui Lu, Qiu Wen would also be present.

"Mrs!"

Seeing the two people standing up to greet each other hurriedly, Mrs. Wang frowned and raised her chin slightly towards the inner room: "Baoyu is in there too?"

"The second master is the same, he just went in."

When Qiu Wen saw his wife's expression of fear, he was so frightened that he couldn't say anything.

"Hmph~"

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, picked up the curtain and went into the inner room.

But he saw Jia Baoyu standing in front of the bed, lowering his head to look at Xiangyun where Haitang was sleeping. Unfortunately, Xiangyun was noisy until midnight yesterday and would not stop sleeping at night. Now he was lying on his side on the bed, with his black hair falling from the pillow like a waterfall.

The brocade quilt was hanging down, only covering her chest. A snow-white arm was hanging out of the quilt, and there were two gold bracelets on Hao's wrists.

Not to mention that he was a man, Mrs. Wang herself felt cute and cute when she saw him.

So when she saw Jia Baoyu extending her hand to Xiangyun while mumbling something, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, scolding him: "Little beast, what are you going to do?! Come out with me now!"
