Chapter 20 Chapter Twenty

It is said that when Xiangyun came back to the capital, he lived in the Muni courtyard outside the west gate, which was far away from the red sandalwood castle to the east and to the west.Every time Xiren wanted to persuade Xiangyun to move in with him, Xiangyun only said, "It's okay to live for a few days now and then, but it's not the way to get along in the long run, it's just walking around from time to time." Baochai listened, noncommittal, and Xiren could only do so That's all. Because it was the winter solstice on this day, Xiren made dumplings and ordered Jiang Yuhan to hire a car to Muni's courtyard to pick up Xiangyun for the festival.After half a day, Fang led a person in, but it wasn't Xiangyun, but a dusty young gentleman, wearing a half-worn Gebu cotton gown, tired and weathered.As soon as Xiren saw it, he first shouted: "Master Huangtian, this can be counted as returning." He rushed up to meet him, and two lines of tears flowed down early.Jiang Yuhan stopped her and said with a smile: "Don't cry, take a closer look at who this person is?" The attacker said angrily: "What about this person and that person, don't I know the second master?"

Jiang Yuhan smiled and didn't speak.Xiren recognized the man's face again, and saw that although his face was beautiful, like Baoyu, but he was more mature and stable, suave and calm, and his figure had grown a little, he couldn't help feeling puzzled and embarrassed. He saluted again and said hello, shyly said: "I haven't asked this master's last name." The man hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "I dare not, my surname is Zhen. I came here to visit the second master of Jia's house. I met Jiang at the entrance of the village. Brother, I just realized that the second master has not yet returned home, so I came to visit my sister-in-law, and returned the lost property."

When Xiren was in the mansion, he had heard that there was a young master in the Zhen family who looked exactly like Baoyu and had the same name. He heard that his surname was Zhen, so he knew that it was undoubtedly Zhen Baoyu. Said: "Sure enough, I have come out of the same mold as our second master, and my brothers are not like this. Please sit down, and I will invite our second grandma to come out." Then he went in with a smile, and gestured to Baochai and Sheyue. Once.Baochai said: "He is a master. Since Baoyu is not here, it is the same to invite Jiang Xianggong to accompany him. Why do you want to see me?" I came here specially to return something important, and I have to hand it over to grandma. It’s not good if grandma doesn’t see you.” Sheyue also said, “I’ve heard that there is a Baoyu in Zhen’s family who is exactly the same as our second master, not only with the same name, but also in temperament It's all the same, I've been longing to see him for a long time. It's rare for him to come to your door today, why don't you see him?" Baochai was urged to come out in every possible way.

When she saw Zhen Baoyu, Sheyue exclaimed "Oops" first: "This is really outrageous. If sister Xiren hadn't explained it first, I would have thought that the second master had come back when I first saw it. Xiren laughed and said, "That's what I said." Yin pointed to Baochai and said to Zhen Baoyu, "This is our second grandma Bao." Jiang Yuhan also pointed to Zhen Baoyu and said, "This is the master of the Zhen family." When Zhen Baoyu saw Baochai, it was like Zhang Sheng meeting Yingying. His soul flew for a long time, and he saw his magnificent appearance, tenderness, graceful appearance, and serene temperament. There is such a person, I, Zhen Baoyu, only think of the beauties in the world, and if I come to my Zhen's house in Jinling, I will be dead, and now I see him, and I know that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky." My mind was full of wild thoughts, and I couldn't speak for a while.

When that Baochai looked at Zhen Baoyu, she felt that she was handsome in description, gentle in attitude, coquettish in manner, pleasant in speech, and mixed in her heart. Although she was not as colorful as Xiren and Musky Moon, she couldn't help but shoot with her eyes. On Zhen Baoyu's face, it was hard to move away, and he thought to himself: "Although there are similarities in people, and they are not compatriots, how can they be so similar? Even the names are the same, one is false and the other is true. If this is true Yes, could it be that the one I have guarded for three years is a fake?" So they exchanged glances and remained speechless for a while.

Officer, do you think Xue Baochai and Zhen Baoyu are such noble and incomparable exiled immortals, how could they lose their composure after seeing them for nothing?Isn't there an abnormal feeling and being rude to others?actually not.At this time, not to mention the two of them, even when a fool suddenly met Zhen Baoyu in the ruined temple, he couldn't help but look left and right, and couldn't tell each other apart.When that precious jade left, he threw the stone on the futon, and was picked up by this precious jade. The stone was dazed and in a trance, and he followed him from Baiyang Village to Red Sandalwood Castle. Or go with Baoyu, or have changed a master.Stones are ruthless, even so; people are not grass and trees, how can we turn a blind eye and be at ease?

Fortunately, that Baochai is a model of dignity and propriety after all, a copy of the three obediences and four virtues, after a little thought, he straightened his color, bowed his head and saluted, and asked gently: "Mr. I don’t know where you came from, sir? Where did you meet my humble husband?” Zhen Baoyu took out a piece of crystal and brilliant jade from his bosom before he could speak, and held it up with both hands, saying: “Second Grandma, please take a look, this is Second master's belongings?" She Yue took it, and before handing it to Baochai, she shouted: "This is our second master's jade, why is it here? Second master is there?"

Zhen Baoyu then sourced from the source, telling how Jia Baoyu was swept up in a cargo ship in Guazhou, how he begged all the way back to Beijing, and how he met himself in Bodhi Temple by chance, from beginning to end, and said: "Woke up in the temple that morning. Come on, Brother Jia is gone, only this piece of jade is left. I only thought that Brother Jia had gone out for a stroll, and I would come back later, and I didn't dare to leave without permission. I stayed there for half a day, but there was no one. I searched everywhere, but I still couldn't find it, so I realized that I had indeed left, but I didn't know why I left the jade behind. I think it was his most precious and important thing, so what should I do if I lose it? Remember what he said In the Red Sandalwood Castle in the suburbs of Beijing, I searched all the way, met Jiang Xianggong at the entrance of the village, and then realized that Brother Jia had not returned home, and when he wanted to ask Brother Jiang to pay his respects, because of the importance of this matter, he had to come to see his second grandmother. Deliver it face to face, and I hope you don't take the liberty of taking responsibility."

When Baochai saw the jade, his mind was calm, but he couldn't hold back his tears. He choked up and said, "He left this piece of jade, but did he leave anything else?" Zhen Baoyu said, "I never said anything." Chai nodded and said: "He made up his mind to let go of the precipice, so he even gave up his life. Does that mean that we don't intend to let us find him again, let alone find him, I'm afraid it's not the same him from before. gone." After Xiren heard this sentence, for some reason, his heart felt as if he had been stabbed by a knife, and he burst into tears; Sheyue burst into tears when she thought of losing her life, and even Jiang Yuhan wiped away her tears; Seeing their situation, Zhen Baoyu also felt pity, and thought to himself: "Jia Baoyu has such a lovely wife and beautiful maidservant to accompany her, so she has the heart to leave her home and not return, it is really heartless!"

Looking at each other sadly for a while, Jiang Yuhan wanted to persuade but was not easy to persuade. After all, Xue Baochai withdrew his tears first, and saluted Zhen Baoyu again: "Mr. Present the grass, and wash away the wind and frost. Please sit down for a while, and then prepare thin wine, and Lao Jiang Xianggong will accompany you." Zhen Baoyu hurriedly returned the gift and said: "My sister-in-law cooks herself, Baoyu is ashamed." Baochai heard him claim "Baoyu" couldn't help feeling another pain in his heart, he hurriedly covered his face, turned around, and hurried to the backyard.Xiren and Musk Moon are busy following.So Jiang Yuhan was left in the hall to have tea with Zhen Baoyu.exactly:

The golden lock hidden in the snow is still looking for jade, don't take the fake for the real. It is said that the Xiren saw that Zhen Baoyu had the same appearance as Jia Baoyu, so he loved the house and black, and instigated Jiang Yuhan to keep Zhen Baoyu; But Baoyu also praised Jiang Yuhan's romantic character and gentle temperament, and after wandering for many years, he was about to find a place to settle down and recuperate, so he readily agreed to live in the front study temporarily.Xiren delivered tea and water every day, and the more he looked at Zhen Baoyu, the more he looked like Jia Baoyu, so he couldn't help wishing for plum blossoms to quench his thirst, painting cakes to satisfy his hunger, and treated each other very cordially. Later, when Xiangyun came to see him, he was also surprised and sighed: "I used to say that if the second elder brother is impatient, he can go to that Baoyu to be naughty with him; now that Baoyu has come, the second elder brother has left again. Is it really true that 'Since Sheng Yu, He Shengliang', the two precious jades must not be together?" Baochai became more and more sad, and said secretly: "I, Xue Baochai, has a good life, and I have gone through hardships to marry this devil king. It is said to be a 'good marriage of gold and jade', but who knows that they have been married for three years as Shuiyue couple, Yingli Langjun. Now even Yinger has disappeared." Thinking of Yinger, I thought of Zhen Baoyu and him It's like a shadow, it's drawn out, after all, I don't know what it is? Zhen Baoyu lived in Beijing for a long time. After a few days, he changed his clothes and came to the city to visit one by one. Everyone also persuaded him to stay in Beijing for a long time, and found a post for him as a secretary.Although Baoyu didn't like to be fettered, he felt that copying and writing was not too much trouble, so he agreed and settled down for the time being.When Xiren saw this, he became more and more envious, and discussed with Sheyue in his spare time: "This uncle Zhen knows more about current affairs than our second master, and knows how to be flexible. If I met Zhen Baoyu in the past and married him to grandma, it would be a shame." A couple. Even the younger sister’s life is depended on. Wouldn’t it be good for everyone to live by each other?” He also said, “The fake treasure has gone, and the real treasure has come. How do you know it’s not God’s will? It’s all treasures anyway, or 'Golden jade marriage', it is not known what should have fallen on him." He said it twice, and was heard by Xiangyun, who learned from Baochai.Baochai spat, turned her face away, but couldn't help being distracted, thinking about Jia Baoyu's reluctance to let go, she was heartless, angry and hated, and thought to herself: "When I was young, I met that monk who gave me this golden lock. Reminder: You have to meet someone who has jade to be able to match. When I met him in the mansion and saw the piece of jade, I had to obey the monk's words. Besides, it was a marriage gift from the empress, so I didn't think about it anymore. Now he is like this As soon as he left, even the jade was thrown away. Wouldn’t those words be in vain? The jade fell into Zhen Baoyu’s hands again, and he didn’t know which one was “true” and which was “fake”? It is compatible, but it must be the one who was born with the jade, or the one who sent the jade?" After thinking about it twice, he spat at himself: "I am already a married person. It's just that my son has changed his post, and he already knows how to keep chastity and integrity; what's more, I have been a beginner for three years? Although I am fake Fengxuhuang, I am married to a famous matchmaker, how can I have such wild thoughts?" It's dusty, and before that, he was reluctant to come to the front yard easily, but since Zhen Baoyu lived in the study, he simply restricted himself to the second door. In a blink of an eye, spring will return, and Baochai's birthday is approaching. Because he was in Xiaojian, he had said that he would not do it.Zhengnai Xue Biao and Xiuyan both said that they would come to celebrate their sister's birthday. Aunt Xue has never been to the house since Baochai moved to Red Sandalwood Castle. The daughter went home, because she also made an appointment to visit on this day.Baochai was afraid that the table would not look good, which would make her mother feel more sorry, so she opened the box and cage, intending to find something to pawn.After a search, there is nothing worth buying. Although there are some cotton clothes, shoes and socks, one is that the winter weather is still deep and we cannot do without them;Then he opened the dowry again, and saw a few silver bracelets and jade hairpins, but a pile of them as tickets. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a plan, and took off the golden lock surrounded by necklaces and jewels from his collar. Take a lot of pawns from Musk Moon Sect. She Yue was taken aback, and was willing to go there, and persuaded: "If you don't get rid of the pot, even if you sell me, it will not be his turn. This is a matter of the girl's life." Baochai sighed: " At this point, how can we talk about life? People are gone, and it is useless to keep him. It is better to exchange some money for some rice." Both Xiren and Sheyue said: "This is absolutely impossible, two Although the master has gone, the piece of jade has grown its own feet and returned. How can we know that it is not God's will? Not to mention that the appearance of this master is exactly the same as our second master, so we can't tell the real from the fake. Look, even the temper and character are pretty much the same. Besides, every time grandma is mentioned, she always respects and admires her. I think that as long as grandma is willing, Uncle Zhen will be willing. Grandma might as well think about it carefully." Baochai said with a serious face. : "Don't talk nonsense. Is this what people say? How decent is it for people to hear it? It's just how frivolous we are." Just as he was talking, Xiangyun happened to come in, so he also smiled and said, "Don't say it's you, even I can't tell the truth from the fake when I saw him. The only thing I didn't say was 'Second Brother'. According to me, fake Baoyu It is also precious jade, real precious jade is also precious jade, if the fake one does not go, the real one will not come; since the fake one has gone, why not exchange it for the real one, wouldn’t it be convenient?” After hearing this, Baochai said seriously, "I've never been the kind of duplicity person who faces Qin and Muchu, but you don't want to make fun of me with such words. Although Baoyu is unfeeling, I can't be unrighteous. Now that I have entered Jia's house, I will I have been surnamed Jia all my life, and I have no other thoughts. A good minister is not a second ruler, and a strong woman is not a second husband. Do you think I am the kind of person who goes back and forth?" As he spoke, he pulled out a white jade hairpin from his head, poked two paragraphs, Said: "If I have a different heart, I will be the same as this hairpin." Xiangyun regretted her slip of the tongue, and put her arms around Baochai to apologize: "Good sister-in-law, it's my fault, I believe it. Of course I know that my sister is not that kind of person, but it's just a joke, and you It's my elder sister Bao, and my second sister-in-law, please don't make me angry." Xiren blushed even more, and hurriedly lowered her head and went out without saying a word. When Baochai knew that he had hurt Xiren, he regretted it.Thinking of Xiren and Qiguan serving him wholeheartedly, it's just for Baoyu's sake. Now that Baoyu is gone, it's embarrassing for him to stay here again.He also thought that on the 21st, Aunt Xue, Xiuyan and others would come to celebrate his birthday with him. Seeing Zhen Baoyu would definitely cause a lot of inconvenience. It's embarrassing, but it's better to avoid it as soon as possible.Then he discussed with Xiangyun that he would go to Muni's courtyard to live together.Xiangyun naturally agreed, and then asked: "Since I want to move, why don't I go back to my aunt's house, but live outside?" Baochai sighed: "Wang Baochuan refused to go home after eighteen years of cold kiln, let alone me? Besides, others I don't know, you should know well - you don't go back to your uncle's house, isn't it because you are afraid that your uncle and aunt will force you to marry another? It’s even worse than today. At that time, it’s impossible to agree, but it’s also embarrassing if you don’t answer, and you should avoid it from afar.” Xiangyun nodded after hearing this, and from then on, he respected Bao more and more in his heart. hairpin. Baochai stopped planning in his heart, so he invited the attackers to express his intentions, and asked Jiang Yuhan to be a matchmaker with Zhen Baoyu for the matter of Musk Moon.After hearing this, Xiren shed tears early, and said in shame: "It turns out that we are not good at serving, no wonder grandma is angry, but I can't do it there, please just teach grandma, don't say 'move away', Otherwise, tell me to see the second master tomorrow, how can I say it?" Baochai sighed: "You are infatuated, where will I see the second master? When I moved here, it was said that it was rent, and it was never promised for a long time. No. What's more, Baoyu moved here in the past because he was friends with Jiang Xianggong, which is reasonable; now that Baoyu is not here, I live here alone with a woman's family. Outsiders don't look like it, even my own family members I don’t agree. I don’t need to be polite to you, you are a sensible person, so you know my difficulties.” Xiangyun also said beside him: “I live alone in the temple, so I’m so lonely. I wish my sister Bao moved to be my companion. After talking for a long time, my sister agreed, and sister Xiren don't try to persuade me any more. Just don't forget us in the future, and come and walk around often. During the holidays, I also come to my sister's house to beg for dumplings." After hearing this, Xiren couldn't stay any longer, so he had to come out and talk to her husband.Jiang Yuhan discussed with Zhen Baoyu again.Zhen Baoyu refused at first, saying: "I don't have much now, how can I dare to have a family?" Jiang Yuhan said: "The daughter-in-law has already agreed, and now I go back and say that Master Zhen is not willing, and I am not afraid of losing the treasure. The face of Second Mistress and Miss Sheyue?" Zhen Baoyu had to bow to Jiang Yuhan after hearing this, and then to the inner courtyard where Baochai lived, saying: "In this case, Baoyu thank grandma for her love." Jiang Yuhan clapped his hands and laughed. : "This is not good? From now on, you can live here for a long time, and everyone can live together." After the discussion was settled, Baochai called Sheyue in again, pointed to a red sandalwood box painted with gold and inlaid shells on the dressing table and said: "I will move with Miss Yun to the temple for a long time, you don't have to follow. These are some old jewelry of mine, not worth much, but just my wish. I have entrusted Xiren and Jiang Xianggong to make decisions about your marriage. I have filial piety, so I won’t come to see you to salute.” Then Sheyue went away from Baoyu, thinking that there was no hope in this life. How could there be today? Hearing this, she was surprised and happy, ashamed and sad. She knelt down and hugged Baochai's legs and said, "What did grandma say? Muskyue Everything belongs to grandma, and I am willing to serve grandma for the rest of my life.” Baochai said: "This is nonsense again. I am married. No matter ten or twenty years, it doesn't matter if your second master comes back or not. I should wait for him for the rest of my life. I can't complain about it; but you still What can I guard for a clean and innocent daughter's house?" After all the explanations, he asked Jiang Yuhan to hire a car, and the next day, he and Xiangyun packed the boxes and cages, and took out the jars containing Lengxiang pills from under the green peach tree. and put them on the car together; and sent someone to send a letter to Aunt Xue, explaining the relocation, not to go to Red Sandalwood Castle.Aunt Xue received the message and knew that her daughter had moved to live in the temple. Although she was very reluctant to part with her, she knew that although Baochai was gentle on the outside, she was most stubborn on the inside, so she had to let it go. From then on, Baochai and Xiangyun rented a side room in the inner courtyard of Muni's courtyard to live in for a long time. They were diligent and thrifty, lived in poverty and worked happily. To pack meals, the general fasting and precepts are the same as those who have left home.During the holidays, Aunt Xue sent a car to pick them up, or Xiuyan and Xiren came to sit with food boxes, and sometimes Baochai and Xiangyun walked around once they were free.Although when the lights are dim and the moon is bright, in the autumn of flying duckweeds, there may be no sighs of beauty's unlucky life and a headless head, but one is broad-minded and the other is deep-hearted, but they are punctual and depend on each other.The nuns in the courtyard knew that one of them was the lady of the master's son Jinling historian, and the other was the second grandmother of the Rongguo Mansion who had met before when she was doing super-recommended rituals for Mrs. Wang, so they didn't dare to neglect.Na Xiangyun often went in and out, borrowing needles and threads, or asking the abbot to copy some scriptures; but Baochai never saw each other, let alone a smile, and even Qi Rong was rare.The monks and nuns saw that he was dignified and quiet, and they felt more calm and reserved than the monks, and they felt more respect.When he was a daughter, he liked light make-up and plain clothes. She lived in the temple, and she wore more and more braided clothes and skirts, without any prettiness. After all, the Yingluo was pawned, but she took off the gold lock piece and didn't wear it. Wrapped in a handkerchief bag with Tong Lingyu, hidden under the box. I don't realize that winter is coming and spring is coming, time flies, how many years have passed, even though Baochai and Xiangyun are beautiful and beautiful, it is inevitable that the peach blossoms have faded and the spring red is blooming, and the temples are full of stars.The two of them were doing needlework in their room one day, when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and firecrackers in the street, coming through the wall and across the yard.Xiangyun said to Baochai, "I heard the street is busy, let's have a look?" Baochai said, "No, it's so indecent to stand on the street and watch the door." Xiangyun said, "Why go out? In this courtyard Isn’t there a tower behind the gourd shelf in the east corner? Wouldn’t it be refreshing if we went up from there and looked down from a high place? And no one knows.” Baochai couldn't bear to cheer him up, so she came out from the door and climbed up the tower to watch.I saw that the two sides of the street were already full of people, rushing forward like a flood. The Xu servant in uniform kept shouting to drive away. As the troops passed by, there was another official in the middle sitting on a raised sedan chair, wearing hairpin tassels on his head, and a gold seal on his chest.When they saw the words "Ding Guo An Bang", "Brilliant Achievements", and "Megatron Overseas" written on the flag, they realized that the new Marshal of the Army and Horse had just returned from his military exploits and was parading through the streets.Xiangyun then said to Baochai, "Shouldn't a military officer ride a horse when he walks through the streets? Why do you sit upside down in a sedan chair?" Baochai didn't answer, but blankly recognized the official's face, and waited until the line had passed, then turned around and said, "I look like Brother Lan, don't you think?" Xiangyun didn't like it at first Jue, looking back at this moment, there was indeed a vague resemblance, and he said happily: "If it really is Lan'er, the sister-in-law can be counted as looking forward to her success. Why don't we two make up our gifts tomorrow to find out, if it is really him, then Treat it as a congratulations; if not, how about visiting your sister-in-law by the way?" Baochai sneered and said, "If it's really him, there are many people rushing to the hot stove, so do you need us to add icing on the cake?" Then she put it aside do not mention. It turned out that the official on the street was indeed Jia Lan. He joined the army, worked diligently, and never dared to slack off. Those with rusty helmets and unfamiliar bows and arrows will be punished according to the law of war.After this rectification, the barracks have become stronger and stronger, and they are in every direction.There is a commander who patrols the border according to the order. Seeing this well-armored and disciplined army, he is very impressed. He played a note of kindness and sent it to Da Nei.Today, when it was found out that Jia Lan and Jia Zhu are both Duke Rong Ning, Long Yan was very happy, and said, "The son of a general, has a great ancestral style", and gave him a crown of the fourth rank, leading the rank of general.Na Jialan was more and more grateful for Dai Huang's kindness, and he wholeheartedly repaid him, and made several great contributions, all the way to the rank of Marshal, and the imperial court relied on the Great Wall, and awarded countless rewards.However, due to the instability of the frontier, bandits and bandits swarmed, and the wars continued for years, they were conquered and suppressed, and they were not allowed to return home for ten years.Until the battle between Guangdong and Haizhou this spring, Jia Jun died in front of the battle, and Jia Lan was also seriously ill with a hernia. .Unexpectedly, people who have been wandering in wind and frost for a long time, once they are stable, are even more useless; and the guests who worshiped and feasted in the ancestral hall were busy for several days, and their illness became more and more serious. Li Wan's mother was awarded the imperial post because her son was precious, and she couldn't help feeling mixed, happy and worried: she was happy that she was a widow when she was young, and she was strict and orderly for half her life, and she ran the family cleanly. Earn this merit; what is worrying is that my son is seriously ill. If he dies, who will he rely on for the rest of his life?There are three or five shifts of imperial physicians at home every day. This one said that the source of the general's illness was sitting in the wetland for a long time, wading in the cold winter, which was "cold hernia". Slippery number, combined with symptoms of spleen diarrhea, blood in the stool, and foot pain, is a "blood hernia". It is necessary to boil Coptis chinensis with wine for the emperor, and then use ginseng and surgery to stop the bleeding; another said that the general is weak. , and excessive strain, if bleeding again, how to deal with it.Then Li Wan has no idea, trust him today, trust you tomorrow, regardless of the imperial medicine, the sea fairy prescription, the imperial physician used it all over again, but Jia Lan's disease did not improve.Li Wan was so anxious that he had nothing to do, he just made a wish in front of the Buddha, "I would like to reduce my lifespan, but if my son gets better, I would not want to die anytime soon." After suffering for two or three months, Jia Lan became more and more tired. It was New Year's Day, so he couldn't help going to the pilgrimage to congratulate the Holy Spirit, shaking his arms again. When he came back, he developed a high fever at night and could not go to court the next day.The Holy Majesty heard that he specially ordered Admiral Yang to bring the imperial medicine. Jia Lan hurriedly put down the incense case to accept the order to thank him. Admiral Yang said: "The general's reputation is known far and wide, and the people of the court and the public know it. All people look up to it. , I also hope to take good care of my body, and cherish life as I love the king, so as to live up to the emperor's high expectations." Jia Lan kowtowed to thank her, and took the medicine as instructed.I slept until the third o'clock that night, and suddenly heard the sound of clappers outside the window, and woke up, drowsy, and saw my mother guarding a half-lit chicken pecking rice, beans, and green lamps, weeping, and screaming in a daze He said "Mother", and when Li Wan came forward to ask, he didn't speak. Then Li Wan felt very distressed, and asked him: "What do you still want to eat? What do you still want to drink? Tea noodles, ginseng soup, almonds, sour plums, everything is ready for you. Your taste should be sweet or salty." ?" Jia Lan gasped for a while, and Fang said: "The child is not filial, the godmother has to worry about it." Li Wan was sour, but he suppressed it and said with a smile: "What an infatuated son, Mother doesn't bother about you, but who do you worry about?" Jia Lan said: "Father left early, leaving mother alone for half a lifetime, and now the son is going to leave early again, making mother suffer so much. This unfilial piety is not worthy of mother's care for me. Sad." Hearing this, Li Wan felt his heart was twisted like a knife, and his tears were like water flowing down the eaves. He couldn't hold him back, and hurriedly said: "It's just that you have seen a lot of things in the past ten years since you went out. Why is it still such a child who has nothing to do at home, and a slight headache and brain fever, it is considered a big deal. Stop talking nonsense, let's sleep for a while and rest up. I will recover from illness tomorrow, and I will take these few more Let me ask you a few words to see if you are ashamed." Jia Lan closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again and said, "My son has been unfilial all his life, but there is only one filial piety: he finally earned a beaded crown for his mother and a phoenix jacket. The mother put them on and let the son take a look at them again." How about it?" Li Wan said angrily, "It's really a child's talk. How can you dress up in such a big way in the middle of the night? Wouldn't it be a joke for people to hear it?" Jia Lan nodded slightly, paused and said, "Then you pick out the light grass. Son, let me take a good look at mother." Holding back tears, Li Wan picked up the candle scissors from the table, cut the candle flower, pulled out the hairpin and flicked the wick twice, and the flame shot straight up and reflected in Jia's eyes. On Lan's face, the candlelight danced, and it seemed to have some color. Li Wan saw that Jia Lan was staring at him, waiting for a word, his eyes were full of hope, and he couldn't bear it. He thought to himself that he wanted to see my phoenix coronet and Xia Pei. Why not like it?So he went to the next door, took out the crown from the box, and put it on, so as not to disturb others, he made up in front of the mirror once, without changing his robe, but put on the cloud python makeup flower with azurite ground, dark flowers, hook lotus pattern, and cloud python on the outside. The court gowns with satin face, lake-colored cloud pattern and dark flower silk lining, are neatly dressed, and sweating all over.And when he came to Jia Lan's room after finishing the arrangement, he saw that Jia Lan had fallen asleep, half of the quilt was dragged on the floor, so he reached out to pick it up and cover it tightly for him, and touched his face, only to feel a slight warmth, not as cold as unusual.There was a thud in his heart, he hurriedly reached out his hand to test his breath, there was still a trace of breath there, he felt panicked, and when he hurriedly pushed him to call out, Fang felt his face was green and his lips were white, he was actually dead. Li Wan's shock was no small matter. Immediately, his three souls went to two souls, his spine was removed, his heart was removed, and he kept screaming, pushing Jia Lan back and forth, and shouted: "Look, you teach me Mother puts on this top for you to see, but you open your eyes, take a look at mother, and say yes to mother." He took his hand and shook it, but felt that the hand was gradually stiff, and it was already cold. .Li Wan wailed and passed out. The entire room had been alarmed, and seeing Jia Lan dead on the bed and Li Wan lying on the ground, they all panicked.Busy pouring ginger soup, rubbing chest and back, calling repeatedly.Li Wanfang's eyes gradually blinked, and he broke away with a cry of "Ahhh", and threw himself on Jia Lan again, and then burst into tears, "Son, meaty".While crying and persuading everyone, they saw that Li Wan was crying like a tearful person with Feng Guanxia's make-up on his head and body, and they all felt weird.Afterwards, when I went out to look for coffins to buy boards and buy paper horse incense candles, I couldn't help but gossip with others, and rumors spread all over the street, saying that the general of the soldiers and horses died of illness at a young age, and ordered his wife to wear a phoenix jacket in the middle of the night to dance to the gods. Son, don't be insane, right?It was said that there are five gods and five devils and six monsters, and it was a joke in the market for a while.Needless to say. Let's say that the death of the widow's son was the first tragedy in the world.Li Wan cried so hard that he almost never threw himself into the well.Aunt Li couldn't persuade her in every possible way, so she had to order her family to be on guard day and night, and she brought a gift box to invite Baochai and Xiangyun.That Baochai was watering the gourds in the yard when she suddenly saw Aunt Li coming in. Before she could see the ceremony, Aunt Li had already pulled up her sleeves and began to cry, saying, "Grandma, do you know that Brother Lan has gone? Our eldest grandma is crying very sadly. The two sisters, Er and Wen'er, are both married far away, and they can't take care of such a big family event. I'm also clumsy, and I can't say a few words of persuasion. How can he listen to those old-fashioned rhetoric? Thoughts, if you neglect precautions, wouldn’t it hurt another life? It’s up to the two girls and grandma to persuade them.” When Baochai heard this, she also felt bitter, and she couldn't help crying. She hurriedly greeted Xiangyun to dress up, and then came back home with Aunt Li.Seeing that Aunt Li was carrying a gift box, Xiangyun was afraid that it would be bad to go there empty-handed, so he picked four gourds from the shelf, put them in the box, and sent them back together. It turns out that Li Wan no longer lives in the former courtyard. He has built another General's Mansion on Xinglong Street. There are also two stone lions in front of the gate, guarded by soldiers.As soon as the sedan chair came in, I saw a vast courtyard with verdant trees. In the courtyard, a tall Taihu stone was exquisitely carved, and a few peaches and plums were scattered, all bearing fruits the size of a baby's fist. The brick floor was built around the fish pond. Two rows of verandahs go directly into the inner courtyard from the corner door.Baochai didn't have time to look carefully, so she got off the sedan chair and went in with Aunt Li. First she burned incense on the spirit and sacrificed the gourd to the spirit before she came in to see Li Wan. I saw that Li Gongcai was wearing a green dress, lying on the bed facing inward, and when he heard people coming in, he didn't turn around or pay attention.Xiangyun stepped forward and called "Sister-in-law" in a low voice, and Aunt Li said again: "Second Grandma Bao, Miss Shi is here." The traces are blurred, and the hair on the temples is covered with frost. For a person in his forties, he looks like he is in his fifties.When I saw someone, I didn't know how to greet them, but just stared at a pair of eyes, and the tears fell like broken beads.Pao-chai was heartbroken upon touching the scene, sympathetic to each other, she had long since left the old indifference to Java, she leaned over and sat on the bed, holding hands and persuading her, "Sister-in-law is very knowledgeable, haven't you heard of it?" "Death and life have fate, wealth and honor are in the sky"? Lan'er was originally destined for high school, although she suffered some setbacks occasionally, she never got an official in the imperial examination, but she was born in the military and came back after making military exploits. The number one scholar is even more honorable, this is fate; and even though he died young, he earned the crown for you and brought it back, and finally lived up to the mother and child. If he was like his second uncle, he would not say a word Let go, I don't know if I'm a monk, I don't know if I'm seeking the way, I don't know if I'm dead or alive, and I don't know where to go. I want to be Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall, but I don't know where to cry? In this way, what is the fate of my sister-in-law? Isn't it ten times better than me? If my sister-in-law is not satisfied, what should I do?" Xiangyun also said: "Speaking of which, although my sister-in-law has a hard life, she still enjoyed a few years of blessings. Even if Brother Lan died young, she finally devoted herself to her sister-in-law. Like I lost my parents when I was young, Growing up with my uncle and aunt, I just found my in-law's house, and I haven't left the house yet, I don't even know what my husband and son-in-law look like, so I'm a widow. What? If my sister-in-law can’t explain herself, I should hang myself. Besides, the three of us are already like this, and we are not the only ones who are suffering in this world. Should we all stop eating or drinking and go on a hunger strike? Is it possible to commit suicide?" Then Li Wan went from Jialan, changed his phoenix jacket into plain clothes, and made the funeral hall into a mourning hall, just like a dream.Unkempt and disheveled, I cried for three days, tired from crying, and fell into a drowsy sleep, and continued to cry when I woke up, with nothing else in my heart except the word "son", until I met Baochai, remembering the feeling of alienation and precaution in the past , Suddenly feel ashamed.This distraction slightly relieved the wounded feeling, so I had to cheer up and deal with it, because I said: "Thank you two for this trip, and there is no tea and hospitality. You just sit down and let me wash your face. It's good to see guests." Baochai and Xiangyun both hurriedly laughed and said, "My dearest relatives say that you are not a guest. But my sister-in-law should really wash her face well and have some snacks and tea." Aunt Li saw that Baochai only spoke a few words, which made Li Wan speak, stood up to wash, couldn't help admiration and joy, and hurriedly agreed, went to the kitchen and ordered someone to make tea and prepare water, and turn on the fire. dessert.Baochai couldn't help turning her head away, and secretly shed two tears.
