save the bachelors

Chapter 4752 [Happy Ending]

Grandmother Jia was in high spirits and took Granny Liu to walk around most of the garden. By the evening, she felt a little unwell.

The eldest sister was held by her wet nurse and went to the garden to find Wang Xifeng. She was caught in a cold and started to have a fever.

"I'm afraid the young lady doesn't go into the garden often. It's not the place where a child should go. Unlike our children, they can walk and won't run around the graveyard.

First, it is possible that he was blown away by the wind; second, I am afraid that he is clean and has clear eyes, or he has met some spirit. In my opinion, let him see the book of evil spirits and watch carefully. "Liu Laolao said when she saw this.

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she thought it made sense, and immediately ordered Caiming to fetch the evil book for inspection.

Sure enough, it was written on it, "On August 25, the patient will meet the flower god in the southeast. Send 40 pieces of five-colored paper money to the god 40 steps southeast for good luck."

Wang Xifeng immediately laughed and said, "It's true. There is no flower god in the garden! I'm afraid the old lady has also encountered it."

He immediately ordered someone to bring two cents of paper money, and sent two people, one to send away the evil spirit with Jia's mother, and the other to send away the evil spirit with the eldest sister. As expected, the eldest sister fell asleep peacefully.

"After all, you older people have experienced more. My eldest sister is often sick, and I don't know why." Wang Xifeng smiled when she saw this.

"That's true. Children raised in wealthy families are too delicate and naturally can't stand any grievances. Besides, her family is too noble and she can't stand it either. It would be better if you love her less in the future." said Granny Liu.

Feng Jieer said, "That makes sense. I remembered that he didn't have a name yet, so you should give him one. First, it will help you live longer; second, you are from the Zhuang family, so I'm not afraid of you getting angry. After all, you are poor, and if you give him a name, it might overshadow him."

"Let's call her Qiao'er. My aunt must follow my name, and she will live a long life. When she grows up and starts a family and a career, or if something goes wrong for a while, it will surely turn misfortune into blessing and turn disaster into good fortune, all thanks to this word 'Qiao'." Liu Laolao thought for a while and said.

Wang Xifeng readily agreed.

……

When Xiang Nan heard that Lady Jia and the eldest sister were unwell, he came to visit them.

Grandmother Jia felt unwell because she was not used to being idle for a long time and was overworked, which caused the evil wind to enter her body.

The eldest sister also caught a cold, and the illnesses of both of them were not serious. Xiang Nan was just missing two talismans, and after feeding them, they were cured immediately.

The next day, Granny Liu said goodbye and went home.

The Jia family gave her many gifts, including several of Jia's mother's clothes, which were gifts from other families on her birthday. But Jia's mother didn't wear clothes from outside, so they just sat there and gathered dust.

In ancient times, clothes were expensive. Especially since Jia's mother was a duke, her clothes were even more expensive than Chanel, Gucci, and Burberry. It could even be said that money could not buy them.

There were several rolls of silk and gauze, five hundred taels of silver given by Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng, top-quality rice, exquisite snacks, and several bottles of pills and prescriptions, which were priceless at the time.

Because the medical community has a rule of "giving medicine but not prescriptions". Medicinal materials and pills can be given away, but prescriptions are core technologies and are priceless treasures.

In addition, there is a cup from Chengyao that Xiang Nan sent. This was also a very valuable porcelain at that time. I dare not say it is priceless, but it can be sold for 500 taels of silver.

Naturally, Liu Laolao was very happy to receive so many gifts, and she recited the Buddha's name ten thousand times.

……

After Granny Liu left, October soon arrived.

Aunt Li, the widow of Li Wan's uncle, came to Beijing with her two daughters, Li Wen and Li Qi. Xue Ke happened to be sending his sister Xue Baoqin to Beijing to marry her fiancé, the son of the Hanlin family of Mei. While resting at the post station on the way, they met Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law who came to Beijing with their daughter Xing Xiuyan. So the three families came together and came to Jia's house.

Grandmother Jia was naturally delighted to hear this, "No wonder the lanterns kept popping and tying up last night. It turns out they should be doing so today."

Xiang Nan, Sanchun, Daiyu, Baochai and others also went to see it together. Sure enough, the four girls were like a bunch of water onions, each beautiful and spiritual in her own way.

As expected, Jinling is a place of great wealth and talented people, which amazed everyone.

Even Grandmother Jia was very happy and tried her best to keep the three families living in the Jia Mansion.

Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law came to the capital to rely on Mrs. Xing, so they were naturally happy to stay. Li Wan's aunt didn't want to stay, but she had no choice but to agree to stay because of Lady Jia's insistence.

Although the Xue family still had some property in the capital, it was no longer as prosperous as before. Now even Aunt Xue lived in the Jia family, so Xue Ke and Xue Baoqin naturally had no place to stay outside, so they also stayed in the Jia Mansion.

As a result, Xing Xiuyan, Li Wen, Li Qi and Xue Baoqin all stayed in the Jia Mansion.

Among them, Xing Xiuyan moved into Zilingzhou and lived with Yingchun; Li Wen and Li Qi moved into Daoxiang Village and lived with Li Wan. Jia's mother liked Xue Baoqin the most because she was smart, beautiful and intelligent, so she kept her by her side.

It happened that Baoling Hou Shi Nai was transferred to another province as an important official and would take his family with him to take up the post soon. Jia's mother couldn't bear to leave Xiangyun, so she kept her and took her home.

Originally, she wanted Wang Xifeng to find a separate house for her, but Shi Xiangyun liked to live with Xue Baochai, so she moved into Hengwuyuan.

The Jia family suddenly had five more girls, all of whom were from scholarly families and were good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. As a result, the poetry club in the Grand View Garden became very lively.

……

In the following November and December, the poetry club held its grand meetings, and everyone was very happy reciting poems and composing essays together.

The happiest among them was Shi Xiangyun.

She liked to join in the fun, but she was the only girl in the Shi family and was usually restrained by her aunt. She had to do knitting and needlework until late at night every day. She was not only tired but also very lonely.

But it was different in the Grand View Garden. Not only were there more than a dozen sisters to accompany her, but she also didn't have to do knitting or needlework. She just ate, drank, played, and composed poetry and songs all day long, and was naturally happy.

Even Miaoyu left her mountain gate and composed poems with her sisters.

It turns out that Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyan have known each other since childhood. The Xing family rented Miaoyu's temple at the time, and even Xing Xiuyan's knowledge was taught by Miaoyu, so she was considered half her master.

Because of this relationship, Miaoyu also joined the poetry club. However, her character was more aloof and eccentric, even more so than Xichun.

So even if I joined a poetry club, I would just write poetry and rarely communicate with others.

Although people did not like her personality, they were more tolerant of her because they saw that she wrote very good poems.

Xiang Nan felt very good to be with these beautiful and intelligent women, and finally understood why Jia Baoyu "likes to be together rather than to be apart".

After all, who doesn't want to be with these beautiful girls for a long time, and who would complain that such a day is too long?

So he composed poems with them, had barbecues with them, admired the snow and plum blossoms with them, and was happy and free.
