The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 322 The happy event Jia Mu moved her mind (1)
"Speaking of which, Brother Lang is almost fourteen this year, right?" Mother Jia suddenly turned her head to ask Li Wan.

Li Wan was startled. All these years, she had been living in Jia's mansion like a transparent person, and she just hoped for her son's well-being. Hearing this question from Jia's mother, she couldn't help feeling flustered. It's 14 years old." Jia Mu frowned and said, "Such a big brother should start a family, and you should pay more attention to it." Li Wan said: "Now Lan'er has gone to Jiangnan with the eldest brother of His Highness the Crown Prince. A few days ago, I wrote a letter saying that now I am following Elder Brother and doing business in front of the Thirteenth Lord. I heard that Eldest Brother and Thirteenth Lord mean that Lan Er is still young, and she will be able to take the imperial examination when she returns to the capital in two years. Marriage depends on Lan Er What I mean is that I want to ask the Crown Princess to make the decision. If the Crown Princess is willing to marry Lan Er, it will be Lan Er's blessing." Jia's mother's eyes were a little gloomy, as if she didn't mention her grandmother when Jia Lan wrote to her mother He was very dissatisfied, and seemed displeased with Jia Lan's desire to ask Daiyu to be the master of the marriage, so he said lightly: "After all, Lan'er is the nephew of Fang Fujin's direct relative. If the marriage is made by the Crown Princess, wouldn't it make Fang Fujin look bad? Turn around Let's go to see Fujin, let's ask Fujin for an idea."

Hearing these words, Li Wan's heart turned cold, no matter how she cared about the world affairs, she knew that whether it was Prince Yong's Mansion or the Prince's Mansion these years, it was the Crown Princess who was in charge, and a few side portraits were nothing more than decorations.How can Tanchun know what kind of girl is from a good family? Anyway, she just listened to Jia's mother.Jia's mother only cared about the interests of the Jia family, so how could she care about Lan'er's position, she might miss Lan'er's marriage.Gritting her teeth, Li Wan still said: "Anyway, Lan'er will take two or three years to come back, and she still has to take the imperial examination. Only after she has a reputation can she be considered a good girl. It's not urgent."

Mother Jia didn't know what Li Wan meant, and her face was even more ugly, but she didn't get angry, she just said calmly: "Lan'er is the nephew of the crown prince's side concubine, even if she doesn't take the imperial examination, she doesn't deserve anyone. Forget it, let's talk about it later." Sister Feng, who was standing behind Mrs. Xing, saw the expressions of Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, and was startled in her heart. She winked at Li Wan quietly, who was slightly startled, He bowed his head and stopped talking.

After leaving Jia Mu's residence, Sister Feng and Li Wan went out to Xichun together. Before entering the door, they heard the crisp sound of Qiaoer reading inside.Speaking of which, Xichun is now in her twenties but still stays in her boudoir, just eats fast and recites Buddha every day, ignoring worldly affairs.He became more and more indifferent to people, and only in front of Qiao'er could he have a smiling face.Although Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang planned several times to marry Xichun to the prince Baylor or a high-ranking nobleman as a concubine, they had no choice but to refuse to do so.After all, Xichun is not like a girl in Rongguo Mansion, she is originally from Ning Mansion, and her own brother is also the patriarch of the entire Jia family.Although Jia Zhen is usually nonsense, she loves her younger sister very much. Even though Xichun has always been honest with him, Ningguo Mansion still sends regular money every month, and it is never less than half a cent. It was a tacit consent to keep Xichun at home.As a result, Mother Jia has nothing to do, but she doesn't like spring even more, and she no longer asks her to make fun of her as before.

After entering the door, Sister Feng smiled and said, "What's the fun of you reading the Lao Shi Zi Jing every day? Our family has a big happy event. Sister Tanchun, the prince Fang Fujin is now pregnant. The old lady and the second lady Very happy."

Xichun put down the scriptures in his hand, and said with a sneer, "They have fulfilled their wish, but I wonder if Big Sister would have thought of today's ending when she was in glory?"

Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward to pat her and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? It's terrible for outsiders to hear this. Forget it, the old lady has now overwhelmed Tan Zhe Fujin with all her treasures. Let her be more happy Let's live, don't say those unpleasant things when you have a banquet tomorrow." Xichun said indifferently: "I'm just a useless person outside the world, what kind of banquet does it have anything to do with me? I just copy the scriptures in front of the Buddha every day I just want to see how Qiaoer can read a few words." Speaking of her daughter, Sister Feng's heart softened, and she looked at the well-behaved Qiaoer who practiced calligraphy beside her, and said softly: "I don't ask for anything, I just hope that Qiaoer will do well. That's all for the rest of my life." Xichun said: "Qiaoer will be old next year, right? The old lady is willing not to send Qiaoer into the palace?" Although Qiaoer is only 12 years old, her appearance is eight times like that of Sister Feng. It's very good, but it lacks Sister Feng's spicy and domineering taste.It is also extremely outstanding among show girls.Sister Feng smiled and said: "I begged the Crown Princess last year, and she sent someone to tell me that Qiaoer's identity as a coat was gone. Naturally, she didn't have to participate in the small election. Although she is only a Han now, But there’s nothing wrong with it, and it’s a little more comfortable.”

Li Wan said: "Does the old lady know about this?"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "Of course the old lady doesn't know. If she knew, there would be room for us and my wife."

"Then you?" Li Wan looked at her worriedly. The old lady would know if the paper could not keep the fire next year when the election started.Sister Feng said: "Let's talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, I won't let Qiaoer go to the place where people cannibalize. But you, sister-in-law, you talked to the old lady like that just now, you...be careful yourself."

Li Wan was taken aback, even Xichun and Qiaoer couldn't help looking at Sister Feng.Sister Feng smiled bitterly and said: "I have been flattering the old lady and the wife for so many years, and those two are not kind people. Now it seems that the old lady is just planning to cultivate power for the side Fujin, and Laner is a big brother Brother's companion, growing up together has a good relationship, why would the old lady not want to hold him in the palm of her hand? How can the old lady and the wife not hate you when you say that? Although the princess is the granddaughter of the old lady, these You have also seen in [-] that the relationship between the Crown Princess and our family is not even close."

Li Wan sighed sadly and said: "How could I not know? I don't ask Lan'er to marry a rich and noble lady in the future, I only hope to marry a virtuous woman who can help Lan'er. The old lady and the wife are all focused on the franchise, how dare I entrust Lan'er's marriage to them?" Li Wan was a widow shortly after his newlyweds, and lived with only one son.In the past two years, it was easy to see that her son was going to be promising, so she was naturally cautious. Sister Feng also knew her suffering, so she couldn't help but sighed too.
