It is said that it is Jia Jing's birthday, Jia Zhen first packed 16 large boxes with high-quality edibles and rare fruits, and sent Jia Rong and his servants to Jia Jing, and said to Jia Rong: "You Pay attention to see if Grandpa likes it or not, you can do it Lilly.You said: My father did not dare to come according to the words of the grandfather, and he led the whole family to salute at home.After hearing this, Jia Rong led his family to go. Gradually, people are coming here.First, when Jia Lian and Jia Qiang came, they first looked at the seats everywhere, and asked, "Is there any stubbornness?"The family replied: "Our grandfather originally planned to invite the great grandfather to come to the house today, so he didn't dare to prepare stubbornly."The day before yesterday, I heard that the grandpa was not coming again. Now I have asked the servants to find a group of small opera performers, and each of them will play ten rounds. They are all preparing on the stage in the garden.

The next time, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and Baoyu all came, and Jia Zhen and Youshi took them in.Youshi's mother is already here.Everyone has seen each other and gave up their seats.Jia Zhenyou and her family handed tea in person, because they said: "The old lady is an ancestor, and my father is a nephew. On such a day, I dare not invite him to be an old man; but at this time, the weather is cool, and the garden is full of chrysanthemums." It’s in full bloom again, that’s what it means to invite the ancestors to come over to relax and watch the children and grandchildren bustle.Unexpectedly, the ancestors refused to show respect.Before Mrs. Wang could speak, Sister Feng said, "The old lady said yesterday that she was coming, because she watched Brother Bao and the others eat peaches at night, and the old man was greedy again. He ate half of them, and they got up in a row at five o'clock." After two visits, I feel a little tired this morning.Because I was asked to go back to the uncle, I will definitely not be able to come today. He said that there are delicious ones, but also bad ones.Jia Zhen laughed and said: "I said that the ancestors like to be lively. If they don't come today, there must be a reason. If so, that's it."

Mrs. Wang said: "I heard your eldest sister say the day before yesterday that something is wrong with Brother Rong's daughter-in-law. What is it?"Youshi said: "It's strange how ill he is.During the Mid-Autumn Festival last month, I spent the middle of the night with the old ladies and wives, and came home to have a good time.When I reached my twenties, I felt lazier day by day, and I was too lazy to eat. It has been nearly half a month.I haven't had my period for another two months.Mrs. Xing went on to say: Don't be happy? Just as he was talking, the outsider replied: "The first master, the second master and the whole family are here, and they are in the hall."Jia Zhen hurried out.Here, You Shifang said: In the past, doctors also said that they were happy.Yesterday, Feng Ziying recommended a gentleman he had learned from, who was very good at medicine, and he said it was not happiness, but it was a serious symptom.A prescription was prescribed yesterday, and I took a dose of medicine. Today, my dizziness is slightly better, but nothing else has much effect.Sister Feng said: "I said that he is not very unbearable. On a day like today, he will never struggle to get up again."Youshi said: You met him here on the third day of the junior high school, and he struggled for a long time. It was also because of your two good bosses that he was reluctant to go.When Sister Feng heard this, her eye circles were red for a long time, and she said for a long time: "It's really unpredictable, and people have good fortune and misfortune."At this age, if something happens because of this disease, what's the point of being alive!

While talking, Jia Rong came in and greeted Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng. Fang went back to You and said, "Just now I went to deliver food to the grandfather, and said that my father was serving the gentlemen at home and entertaining them." The men of the family did not dare to come according to the words of the grandfather.The grandfather liked it very much and said, "This is it."Tell my parents to take good care of my grandfather and wives, and tell me to take good care of my uncles, aunts and brothers.He also said that the "Yin Zhiwen" was hurriedly carved out and printed 10,000 copies of Sanren.I said all this back to my father.I have to go out quickly to send the grandfather and the family together for dinner.Sister Feng said, "Brother Rong, stop here."What is your daughter-in-law doing today?Jia Rong frowned and said: Isn't it good!My aunt will know when she comes back and take a look.So Jia Rong went out.

Here, Mrs. You said to Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang: Ladies, should we eat here, or in the garden?Xiao Xi'er is ready in the garden now.Mrs. Wang said to Mrs. Xing: "Let's just go there after eating, and it will save a lot of trouble."Mrs. Xing said: "Very good."So You Shi told the daughters-in-law and mother-in-law: bring the food quickly.They agreed together outside the door, and everyone took their orders.After a while, the meal was served.Mrs. You asked Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and his mother to sit on the side seats with Sister Feng and Baoyu.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang said: "We came here to pay respects to the Elder Master's birthday. Isn't this our birthday?"Sister Feng said: "The old man is good at keeping quiet. He has already cultivated it, and he can be regarded as a fairy."When the ladies say this, it's called knowing by heart.Everyone in the room burst out laughing at the words.

So Youshi's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng all finished their meal, rinsed their mouths, and cleaned their hands before saying that they were going to the garden. Jia Rong came in and said to Youshi, "Masters and uncles." Brothers and brothers have also eaten.The Elder Master said that something happened at home, and the Second Master didn't like to listen to operas and was afraid of people making a fuss, so he went.The men from the other family were all sent over to listen to the opera by Uncle Lian and Brother Qiang.Just now, the four princes of Nan'an County King, Dongping County King, Xining County King, and Beijing County King, and six families including Zhenguo Gongniu's Mansion, and eight families including Zhongjinghou Shi's Mansion, all sent people to present birthday gifts with famous cards. They all went back to my father, and they were put in the tent first, and the gift slips were all on the shelf.The master's thank you note has been handed over to all the visitors, and all the visitors have been rewarded as usual, and all the visitors have to eat before going.Mother should invite the two wives, old lady and aunt to sit in the garden.You Shi said: "I just finished my meal, and I'm about to go there."

Sister Feng said, "I'll go back to my wife. I'll see Brother Rong's daughter-in-law first, and then I'll go there."Mrs. Wang said: "Very true."We all have to go and have a look at him, lest he get too flustered and say we can ask him.Youshi said: "My dear sister, my daughter-in-law listens to you. You can enlighten him, and I can rest assured."Come across the garden quickly.Baoyu also went to see the Qin family with Sister Feng. Mrs. Wang said, "Just go there if you have a look. That's my nephew and daughter-in-law."So Mrs. You invited Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and his mother to Huifang Garden.

Sister Feng, Bao Yufang and Jia Rong came to Qin's side.After entering the door, she walked quietly to the door of the inner room. When Qin saw her, she was about to stand up. Sister Feng said, "Don't get up, you seem dizzy suddenly."So Sister Feng took two steps, took Qin's hand, and said, "My grandma!"Why haven't I seen you for a few days, and I've become so skinny!So he sat on the mat that Qin was sitting on.Baoyu also said hello and sat on the chair opposite.Jia Rong called: "Pour tea quickly, my aunt and second uncle haven't had tea yet in the upper room."

Qin took Sister Feng's hand, forced a smile and said, "It's all my fault."For such a family, the father-in-law and mother-in-law treat them like their own girls.Although my aunt's nephew is young, he also respects me, and I respect him, and he has never blushed.Even among the elders and peers in the family, apart from my aunt, there is no one who does not love me, and there is no one who does not treat me well.Now that I have this disease, my desire to be strong is gone.I have never been filial to my in-laws for a day; even if my aunt loves me so much, I have a very filial heart, and I can't do it now.I thought to myself, I may not survive the Chinese New Year.

Baoyu was staring at the "Begonia Spring Sleeping Picture" and the couplet written by Qin Taixu in the tender coldness locks the dream. Because of the cold spring, the fragrant air envelops the person is the couplet of the fragrance of wine, and he thought of sleeping here and dreaming of the illusory realm things come.Just as he was in a trance, hearing Qin's words, like ten thousand arrows gathered in his heart, tears flowed down unconsciously.Although Sister Feng was very sad in her heart, I'm afraid the patient would feel sad when seeing everyone like this, and she didn't come here to enlighten and persuade.Seeing Baoyu like this, Yin said, "Brother Bao, you are like a mother-in-law."His patient just said that, so how can he reach this field?Besides, no matter how old a person is, he thinks this way and that way when he is a little sick. Isn't this making himself sick?Jia Rong said: "He doesn't need anything else for this disease, he just needs to eat some food and he won't be afraid."Sister Feng said, "Brother Bao, my wife told you to go over quickly."Don't just focus on this here, it will make your wife feel bad.The wife is thinking about you again.Because he said to Jia Rong, "go with your Uncle Bao first, and I'll sit down for a while."Jia Rong heard that he had come to Fangyuan for a meeting with Baoyu.

Here, Sister Feng persuaded Qin Shi again, and said a lot of heartfelt words in a low voice.Mrs. You sent someone to invite her two or three times before Sister Feng said to Mrs. Qin, "You are a good child, and I will come to see you again."It's because your illness should be cured, so someone recommended this good doctor the day before yesterday, so you don't have to be afraid anymore.Qin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you let the gods do it, you can't die if you cure the disease."Auntie, I know that my illness is just a matter of life.Sister Feng said, "Just think about it this way. Where can you get better?"Always think about it.Besides, I heard from the doctor that if the disease is not cured, I am afraid that the spring will not be good.It's only September and a half now, and there are still four or five months to go. What disease can't be cured?If we are people who can't eat ginseng, it's hard to say. Your parents-in-law heard that you are cured, let alone 2 yuan a day for ginseng, you can eat two catties.Let's have a good life. I went to the garden.Qin said again: Auntie, forgive me for not being able to follow.When I am free, I beg my aunt to come and see me often, so that we girls can sit and talk more.When Sister Feng heard this, her eyes turned red again, so she said, "I will come to see you often when I am free." So Sister Feng led the women and girls who came with her and the daughters-in-law and women of Ning's mansion, and walked around the gate of the garden from the inside.But I saw: yellow flowers all over the ground, white willows across the slope.The small bridge leads to the Ruoye River, and the winding path connects to the road to the rooftop.The clear stream in the stone is turbulent, the fence is fragrant; the red leaves on the tree tops are turning, and the sparse forest is picturesque.The westerly wind suddenly tightens, and the warbler crows at the beginning; when the warm day is warm, the wee talk is added.Looking to the southeast, build several pavilions against the mountains; looking to the northwest, build three pavilions facing the water.Sheng spring is full of ears.Don't have a romantic feeling; Luo Qi wears the forest, adding charm. Sister Feng is looking at the scenery in the garden by herself, admiring it step by step.Suddenly a man came from behind the rockery, and said to Sister Feng, "please be safe, sister-in-law."When Sister Feng saw her suddenly, she looked back and said, "This is Uncle Rui, isn't it?"Jia Rui said: Sister-in-law doesn't even recognize me?Not who I am!Sister Feng said: "It's not that I don't recognize it. When I saw it suddenly, I didn't expect it to be the uncle who came here."Jia Rui said: "It's also because I have a predestined relationship with my sister-in-law."I just sneaked out of the banquet and took a break in this clean place. If I didn't want to, my sister-in-law also came from here.Isn't this predestined?While talking, he kept looking at Sister Feng with his eyes. Sister Feng is a smart person. Seeing his situation, how can she not guess eight or nine points, because she pretended to smile to Jia Rui and said, "I can't blame your brother for always mentioning you and saying that you are very good."I saw you today, and after listening to your words, I know you are a smart and kind person.I'm going to the ladies right now, I can't talk to you, let's talk later.Jia Rui said: I want to go to my sister-in-law's house to say hello, but I'm afraid my sister-in-law is too young to meet people easily.Sister Feng pretended to smile and said: "The whole family is of flesh and blood, what are you talking about if you are young or not?"After hearing this, Jia Rui didn't think about having such an adventure today, and his expression became unsightly.Sister Feng said, "Go to the table quickly, and they will catch you and punish you with wine."When Jia Rui heard this, half of his body was already numb. He walked slowly and looked back at the same time.Sister Feng deliberately delayed her pace, and seeing him go far away, she thought to herself: This is the one who knows people, knows their faces, but doesn't know their hearts, where are there such beasts.If he is like this, when will he die in my hands before he will know my methods! So Sister Feng moved forward.After turning around the first level of the hill, he saw two or three women coming in a hurry, met Sister Feng, and said with a smile: "Our grandma just didn't come when she saw the second grandma. She was in such a hurry that she asked the servants to invite grandma again." up.Sister Feng said: "Your grandma is such a quick-footed ghost."Sister Feng walked slowly and asked, "How many plays have been sung?"The woman replied, "It's probably out of the question."While speaking, he came to the back door of Tianxiang Tower, where he saw Baoyu playing with a group of maids.Sister Feng said: Brother Bao, don't be so naughty.A girl said: "The ladies are all sitting upstairs, please go up this way, grandma." After hearing this, Sister Feng picked up her clothes and went upstairs. She saw Youshi was waiting at the stairs.Youshi said with a smile: "You two are very good, and I can't bear to come when we see each other."You can move in with him tomorrow.Sit down, and I will respect you with a bell first.So Sister Feng asked to sit in front of Mrs. Xing Wang's second wife, and circled around in front of You Shi's mother again, and still sat at the same table with You Shi to eat wine and listen to the opera.You called for the play list and asked Sister Feng to order a play. Sister Feng said, "My wife and wives are here. How dare I order."Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang said: We and our in-laws have ordered several orders, and we will listen to the two orders you order.Sister Feng stood up and agreed, Fang took the play list, looked at it from the beginning, ordered "Resurrection" and "Tanci", handed over the play list and said: "The "Shuangguan Gao" we are singing now." , After singing, it is time to sing these two songs again.Mrs. Wang said: "That's not true. You should tell your brother and sister-in-law to rest as soon as possible, because they are not calm."You Shi said: "The wives don't come here often. It would be interesting for the ladies to sit for a while. It's still early."Sister Feng stood up and looked downstairs, and said, "Where have all the men gone?"A woman next to him said: "Men just went to Ningxixuan, and took a dozen of them to have a drink there."Sister Feng said: "It's not cheap here, and I don't know what to do behind my back!"Youshi smiled and said: There are all decent people like you there. So they talked and laughed, and after all the plays they ordered were sung, the banquet was just removed and the food was served.finished eating.Everyone just came out of the garden, sat down in the upper room, had tea, and then called the reserve car and said goodbye to Youshi's mother.Youshi led all the concubines and his family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to send them out; Jia Zhen led all his sons and nephews to stand beside the car, waiting. When he met Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, he said, "You two aunts will come to visit tomorrow."Mrs. Wang said: "Well, we have been sitting for a whole day today, and we are tired. Let's take a rest tomorrow."So they all got in the car.Jia Rui looked at Sister Feng from time to time.After Jia Zhen went in, Li Guicai pulled over the horse, Baoyu rode on, and followed Mrs. Wang.Here, the brothers, nephews and nephews of Jia Zhen's same family had dinner, and Fang left. The next day, it was still a day of trouble among the clansmen, so there is no need to elaborate.Since then, Sister Feng has come to see Qin in person from time to time.Qin also got better for a few days, and remained the same for a few days.Jia Zhen, Youshi, and Jia Rong were very worried. Let's say that Jia Rui came to Rongfu several times, but he met Sister Feng and went to Ningfu.This year is the winter solstice on November 30.In the days before the festival, Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng sent people to see Qin's family every day. The people who came back said: "I haven't seen Tim sickness these days, and I don't see him very well."Mrs. Wang said to Jia Mu: "This symptom, if you don't get sick in such a big festival, you have great hope."Jia Mu said: "But, good boy, if there are some reasons, it won't hurt people to death."As he said that, he felt sad for a while, and asked Sister Feng to say: "Both of you mothers will be healed. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year. After tomorrow, you can go to see him the day after tomorrow."Take a closer look at his situation, if it is better, you come back and tell me, I like it too.That child usually likes to eat, and you often ask someone to make some and send it to him.Sister Feng agreed one by one. On the second day of the lunar new year, after breakfast, I came to Ningfu and saw Qin's condition. Although she was not seriously ill, the flesh on her face and body was all thin and dry.So I sat with Qin Shi for half a day, chatted some gossip, and enlightened me again about the fact that the disease is okay.Qin said: "Okay, I will know in spring."Now that the winter solstice has passed, it is not so good, or it will be better.Aunt goes back to the old lady, don't worry, madam.I ate two pieces of the yam cake stuffed with jujube paste that the old lady rewarded yesterday, and it looked like it had been melted.Sister Feng said, "I'll bring it to you tomorrow."I'll go to your mother-in-law's place to have a look, and I'm going to rush back to answer the old lady's words.Qin's said: "Auntie please greet the old lady and madam for me." Sister Feng came out when she agreed, and sat down in You's upper room.Youshi said: "How do you look at your daughter-in-law coldly?"Sister Feng lowered her head for a long time and said, "It's really impossible."You should also give him the things that should be used for the funeral, and it's good to have a wash.You Shi said: "I also asked people to prepare secretly."That thing is not good wood, let's take it easy for now.So Sister Feng had tea, talked for a while, and said, "I'm going to go back and answer the old lady's words."Youshi said: You can speak slowly, don't scare the old lady.Sister Feng said, "I know." So Sister Feng came back.When I got home, I met Jia's mother and said, "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law please greet the old lady, kowtow to the old lady, and say that he is better. Please rest assured my ancestors."If he is a little better, he still has to kowtow to his ancestors to greet him.Jia Mu said, "What do you think of him?"Sister Feng said, "It's okay for now, I'm in good spirits."After hearing this, Jia Mu pondered for a long time, because she said to Sister Feng, "you can change your clothes and have a rest." Sister Feng agreed to come out and met Mrs. Wang. When she got home, Ping'er changed the homely clothes she had baked for Sister Feng.Sister Feng sat down and asked, "what's the matter at home?"Ping'erfang brought tea, handed it over, and said, "It's nothing.It was the three hundred silver coins that Wang's daughter-in-law sent in, and I took it.Uncle Rui sent someone to ask if Grandma was at home, and he wanted to come to say hello to Ann.When Sister Feng heard this, she snorted and said, "This bastard deserves to die. Let's see how he comes!"Ping'eryin asked: "Why does Uncle Rui just come here?"Sister Feng then told Ping'er all about meeting him in the garden of Ningfu in September and what he said.Ping'er said: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, an inhuman bastard, if he thinks about it, he will die!"Sister Feng said: "When he comes, I have my own reason."I don't know what Jia Rui's situation was when he came, and let's listen to the next chapter.
