Jia Mu wiped her tears for a long time, which made all the girls in the family feel sad. When Baoyu came back from the family study, there was even more crying in Nuan Pavilion.
"Sister Yun never told me that she was having such a hard time at home. If I had known, I should have picked her up earlier."
Baoyu was already impatient with conventional etiquette, and now the elders in the room could not bear to scold the sad child harshly. They allowed Baoyu to hold Xiangyun's hand tightly and care for Xiangyun on the bed.
Jia Cong lamented, shook his head and said: "Sister Yun always looks cheerful and forthright, but in fact she buries all the difficulties in her heart. Maybe only when the old lady takes her to live in the house, she is really happy. .”
"Yes, yes, every time she goes back, she will tell me that our ancestors will send someone to pick me up as soon as possible..."
When she mentioned this, Jia Mu's nose became sore again, and she couldn't even wipe away her tears. In fact, she knew that Shi Nai and his wife were definitely not as dedicated to taking care of Xiangyun as her own daughter, but she didn't expect them to be so careless, and she felt even more regretful in her heart.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The old lady suddenly turned around and shouted: "Brother Cong..."
"ah?"
Jia Cong was still thinking about the eunuch he met at Baolinghou Mansion today... Yan Renyi. Suddenly he heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, it was Jia Mu who was wiping her tears.
Jia Mu, whose eyes were red and swollen, beckoned: "Come here, I have something to tell you to do!"
When Jia Cong arrived, the old lady took a red letter from Yuanyang's hand.
"This is……"
The old lady thrust it into Jia Cong's hand and said coldly: "This is Girl Yun's mother's dowry list. Tomorrow morning you go to the Baolinghou Mansion again and tell Shi Nai if there is anything missing from the list. The old woman is trying to get rid of the Shi family and ruin his reputation! I really thought everyone else had forgotten what happened in South Vietnam..."
"old lady!"
Jia She suddenly interrupted the old lady's words with a solemn expression. This time, the old lady rarely scolded her eldest son. Instead, she looked aggrieved and muttered to herself: "If you don't tell me, don't tell me. Why are you yelling at me..."
"My son will write a letter later and ask San'er to take him to the Baolinghou Mansion tomorrow to see what Shi Nai says. If he doesn't agree..."
Jia Mu said bitterly: "Then the old woman will go to Longshou Palace to ask for an audience with the saint!"
Jia She shook his head and sighed: "If you haven't reached that point yet, just follow what San'er said and see you in Shuntian Mansion Court!"
It was already midnight when Xiangyun woke up. The wind and cold had taken away his essence and energy. Not only was his throat bitter, but it was also extremely dry.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, she didn't realize that she had returned to Rongguo Mansion. She struggled in a daze to get up and find water, but she heard a familiar voice.
"Miss Yun is awake?"
Then there was a rustling sound, and when there was light in front of her eyes, she could clearly see the situation in front of her.
"Sister Yuanyang..."
His voice was hoarse, he looked exhausted, and he was not as lively as before.
Yuanyang touched Xiangyun's forehead distressedly and said happily: "Finally the fever is gone. Miss Yun scared the old lady this time."
"Why did I go back to Rongguo Mansion?"
Xiangyun was half talking to himself and half questioning. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered what happened before: "Oh, it was Brother Cong and Sister Yuanyang who picked me up."
….
Tears slid down her cheeks onto the pillow. Yuanyang quickly stretched out her hand to wipe them away, and comforted her softly: "Don't be sad anymore, it's all over. The old lady has decided that from now on, Miss Yun will never have to gone back!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
From the beginning of Xiangyun's memory, the coldness of Baolinghou Mansion made it difficult for her to regard it as home. On the contrary, Rongguo Mansion, where she could stay for a few days a year, could relax her for a few days and feel a touch of warmth.
She is the eldest girl of the Shi family in name, but when the gate of the Hou's mansion is closed, her treatment in the mansion is not as good as that of the eldest maid in front of her cousin Xianglan.
When her second uncle and second aunt asked her to do needlework in exchange for money, she knew that her status as the eldest daughter of the Shi family had become her life-threatening talisman.
When she resists a little
When she was there, the cold ancestral hall almost killed her!
The old lady was kind to her, so she regarded the old lady as her own grandmother and tried her best to please the old lady. Baoyu was kind to her, so she tried her best to get closer to Baoyu...
She lacks a sense of security, and Rongguo Mansion is the only life-saving straw she can grasp, and now she has finally grasped it firmly!
"Is Girl Yun awake?"
Xiangyun's cry woke up Jia Mu, who was not sleeping soundly. She put on her clothes and hurriedly crossed the porch and entered the Nuan Pavilion.
"Ancestor, I'm so scared, it's so cold in the ancestral hall!"
"Good boy, don't be afraid. From now on, you will stay with me at home and don't go anywhere..."
Jia's mother hugged Xiangyun tightly in her arms. Xiangyun whimpered and Jia's mother couldn't stop her tears. It wasn't until Xiangyun was tired from crying that she drank another bowl of ginger soup and fell asleep.
…
"Is Shi Nai crazy? Does he really want to tear himself apart completely?"
Jia She slammed the reply letter in his hand on the table and cursed: "He still wants to take Yun Yatou back, where does he have the courage to talk to me like this!"
Jia Cong expressed his guess: "Dad, I'm afraid Sister Yun's mother's dowry is gone. My son found out that Shi Nai and Shi Ding are going to serve outside the capital. Recently, they went to the Governor's Mansion, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War. He runs very diligently, but it costs a lot of money to manage it up and down."
As an in-law of Shi Jia, Jia She is quite familiar with the situation of Baolinghou Mansion and Zhongjing Hou Mansion. A few years ago, Shi Dingfenghou was made with money. In recent years, he has been in a tight situation. Where does the money come from? Looking for foreign posts, or two at once.
He thought for a moment that his son's guess was most likely true, and called Jia Jiu to give instructions to check the specific situation.
Then he snorted coldly: "Since he has no shame, then don't blame us for not giving him shame. Go and ask your second uncle to write a petition, and you can personally deliver it to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen!"
"Son, go right away..."
When Jia Cong walked to the door, he thought for a moment and turned around and said, "Dad, my son always feels that Shi Nai is not worried about breaking up with our family. Has he found some big backer? My son thinks that dad, you should let people take care of you." It’s better to check it out.”
Hearing his son's reminder, Jia She waved his hands impatiently and replied: "I know, I know, go and do your thing!"
The old lady was very angry yesterday, and she had been worried about Xiangyun's illness. During breakfast, Yuanyang came to report that Xiangyun was better, but the old lady fell ill again.
Now Jia Zheng couldn't go to the Ministry of Works Yamen anymore. He had to ask the imperial doctor and wait on the old lady. It was only at noon that he finally had time to have a cup of tea and take a break.
….
When Jia Cong came to find him, he was slumped on the chair with a tired look on his face. When he saw his nephew come in, his first reaction was to quickly resume his posture of sitting upright.
"Second uncle, my father asked you to write a petition..."
The tea cup in Jia Zheng's hand shook and he asked in surprise: "Huh? Liangzi? Do you really want to file a lawsuit with the historian?"
well!
Jia Cong sighed and said: "It won't work without fighting. My nephew went to Baolinghou Mansion today. People directly said that Sister Yun's surname is Shi, and the Shi family decides whether life or death is decided. Our Jia family just eats carrots and doesn't worry about it. He also said that if it weren't for watching In front of the old lady, she would have brought people to knock on the door to rob people..."
Of course Shi Nai wouldn't really say that, but what he meant was that the Jia family's hand was stretched too far. In a few days, his family would come to Rongguo Mansion to take Xiangyun back.
Moreover, the historian has already shown the marriage to Xiangyun Xiang, and the six rites will be celebrated in a few days.
Jia Cong hasn't found out who the other party is yet, but he thinks that Shi Nai and his wife won't think of each other as a good person. He might still be a tuberculosis man...
Shi Nai can definitely do this!
"Alas, such good relatives are actually going to court. This... fate is playing tricks on people!"
Jia Zheng still couldn't understand that the Jia and Shi families had actually been estranged a few years ago, and they had been basically separated in the past two years.
On the day Jia Sheliang Yuan was assassinated, how close were the two princes of the Shi family to the Huo family? Not to mention the close relationship between the Shi family and the Beijing County Prince's Palace, and their unclear relationship with several Wu Xuns who are not dealing with the Ning Rong Palace...
…
"Second uncle, we have to fight. If Sister Yun continues to stay in the Baolinghou Mansion, how can she still survive?"
Jia Cong's reminder finally made Jia Zheng make up his mind. He carefully considered the words. After a long time, he dried the ink on the paper and sighed deeply.
He still couldn't bear it and said to Jia Cong: "Once this complaint is delivered to Shuntian Mansion, it will really be impossible for our family and the Shi family to go back to the past."
Jia Cong took the complaint with both hands, shook his head and replied: "If we don't fight this lawsuit, we can't go back to the past. If people don't want to advance and retreat with my family, they will eventually break up!"
…
Although the people in Shuntian Mansion were shocked by Jia Cong's complaint against Baolinghou Mansion, they still accepted the case according to the rules.
However, this case involved two princes, and it was impossible to hastily open a court trial. After respectfully sending Jia Cong out of the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, the governor Tang Zhisheng immediately went to the imperial city with the complaint.
Jia Cong didn't stay outside. He bought a bunch of snacks and toys and returned to Rongguo Mansion. After reporting the complaint from Shuntian Prefecture to my father, I went to Rongxi Hall carrying a lot of snacks and toys.
At this time, Xiangyun's energy level had obviously improved, and he was leaning on the pillow, talking to his sisters, brothers, and sister-in-law in the Nuan Pavilion.
"Third brother..."
Bang!
As soon as he walked into the Nuan Pavilion with snacks and toys, a little man rushed over and got into Jia Jiacong's arms.
Xiao Xichun's eyes were bright, her little face was raised, her eyebrows were crooked, her little tiger teeth were exposed and she was grinning: "Did the third brother buy something delicious for Sister Xi?"
"Would my fourth sister want to eat the sugar-roasted chestnuts from Wufulou?"
Jia Cong waved the snacks in his hand in front of Xichun. Xiao Xichun immediately sniffed around, hugged Jia Cong's arm and kept shaking: "If you want to eat, eat..."
As she said that, she rushed toward the sweet snacks, but Jia Cong grabbed the back of her neck and held the snacks high in his other hand, teasing Xichun, making little Xichun's lips shrink with lust. cry.
It was Wang Xifeng who stepped forward, patted Jia Cong on the head, hugged Xichun, and snatched the snack bag from Jia Cong's hand.
She shook the bag of snacks in her hand and said with a smile to everyone in the Nuan Pavilion: "I'm afraid it weighs several kilograms. Let's turn into gluttons today and eat up all the snacks Brother Cong bought."
There would be no snacks in the palace, but Xiangyun was in a low mood and was just teasing Xiangyun.
Everyone also avoided the Shi family's affairs, grabbed the snack bags opened on the table, and started chattering and playing...
