Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

“A woman shouldn’t be jealous, but she doesn’t say she shouldn’t let her husband bring unscrupulous people into his house!

Even if you are buying a concubine or a maidservant, you should inform the first wife first. Otherwise, how can the first wife keep her face?Where is the Yue family’s face?

Mr. Lian, I don't want to tell you anything else. I just want to say that you have taken two more sips of wine and made me muddy. My sister Feng's boudoir has been dirty. What should I do? "

Jia Lian subconsciously said, "What should I do? I will order the bedding to be changed."

"Changed the bedding?"

Yu Xin smiled sinisterly, "That means the second master is planning to ask my sister to live in the same room with that servant's wife?"

Jia Lian understood it this time and said hurriedly, "Cousin, do you mean to change the courtyard? When we got married, we chose this place because the big room was cramped and it was convenient for Brother Feng to handle the housework. , the cheapest.

It took so long to choose the current residence, and now it's time to change. Where can I find a better one? "

"Can't you change it to something better? The Hall of Rongxi in your house is empty. Could it be that my sister Feng, the legitimate wife of the eldest grandson and the housewife in the palm of my hand, can't live there?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Jia Lian was stunned, but also the masters and slaves in Manhua Hall were stunned.

Because Jia's mother did not like her eldest son Jia She, she wanted to live with her second son Jia Zheng. Therefore, Jia Zheng, the second son, lived in Rongxi Hall, the main courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, while Jia She lived next door to the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion. Other courtyard.

When it comes to the grandchildren such as Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, Jia's mother prefers Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu, the second wife, while Jia Lian, the eldest son of the eldest brother, leans back instead.

When he got married, his residence was even arranged in a very remote and cramped place.

After all, Jia Zheng was the second son with an unfair name. Although he lived in Rongxi Hall, he did not dare to live in the main courtyard. Instead, he lived in a side room.

This has been the tradition of Rongguo Mansion for many years, and no one has ever dared to question it. Now Yu Xin is just a foreigner, but he wants to ask for Rongxi Hall for Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng was also stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic. If Yu Xin really wanted to go to the Hall of Rongxi for her, she would have more prestige as the head of the family in the future!

As she was thinking this way, her eyes unconsciously looked towards Yu Xin. When she looked at her, she found that Yu Xin was looking at her thoughtfully.

Wang Xifeng immediately realized that Yu Xin was asking her to cooperate!

Countless thoughts ran through her mind, and she kept sobbing with a look of sadness on her face.

Jia Lian was pleasantly surprised after staying there. If he could live in Rongxi Hall and be the upright eldest son and grandson of this house, it would be better than always following his second uncle to follow orders and run errands!

Since he thought so, he continued to act cowardly, standing aside and watching the situation develop.

Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian have similar psychology, so naturally they don't talk much.

Youshi is from the Ning Mansion and a junior, so she doesn't dare to interrupt at will.

Naturally, Mrs. Xue would not dismantle Yu Xin. Mrs. Wang and Jia Baoyu, the second wife, were not able to speak, and the remaining maids and mothers were even less courageous.

The flower hall suddenly became quiet and the atmosphere was tense.

The kind smile on Jia Mu's face disappeared early, and she stared at Yu Xin.

Yu Xin just looked back leisurely, as if he was sure that she would agree with what he said.

After a while, Jia Mu sneered and said, "They say that brother Xin loves his sisters, but I still don't believe it. I have seen it today."

Yu Xin had a lot of free time, "My uncle is not in the capital, and my aunt is also ill. As a cousin, I can't let Sister Feng suffer in vain."

Today Wang Xifeng also posted a message to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang resented her for being close to the Xue family. It was only a small birthday for Wang Xifeng, so she didn't come because she felt uncomfortable.

"Are you wronged? So in your eyes, Girl Feng was wronged when she married into my Rongguo Mansion? How about you tell me all the grievances of Girl Feng?"

Jia's mother asked her to speak up, and Yu Xin said very honestly, "The ancestors have given instructions, and the younger generation dare not disobey, so let's talk about it properly.

The first one is naturally the residence where Sister Feng lived after she married into your mansion. It was actually less than a quarter of the size of the residence where I, a girl from the Xue family, lived.

Secondly, Mr. Lian did not respect Sister Feng as a wife, and had an affair with others. He actually wanted to kill Sister Feng. He was caught red-handed and dared to commit murder with a sword.

The third thing is that I heard that the maids and mothers-in-law of your house often scold me, Sister Feng, for being the maid who carries the key and not being in charge of the family. This is actually disrespectful to my sister-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law, and her noble status!

Old lady, the elders of your house are partial, the second master's personal ethics are lacking, and the servants are unscrupulous. Shouldn't you say that my sister Feng has been wronged? "

Wang Xifeng heard Yu Xinyi's honest words as if her heart was broken and her liver was broken. Just now she was crying, which was almost a show, but now she couldn't help but burst into tears and called her cousin with choked sobs.

Yu Xin's eyes were soft, "Sister Feng, don't be afraid, the eldest master and the second master are not here today, and things will not be settled for a while.

Don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for you in this matter. If the Rongguo Mansion is determined to use power to suppress others, it will be okay for my brother to support you for the rest of his life.

Stop crying and follow my wife and I home first."

Wang Xifeng raised her eyes and looked at him. Amidst the rippling tears, Yu Xin's beautiful face seemed to be glowing. The tenderness in the narrow phoenix eyes was like a hot spring in the cold winter, wrapping her tightly around her, wrapping around her miserable sister who was in a wolf's den.

Wang Xifeng choked again uncontrollably, staggered up and walked towards him.

Jia Mu called out Brother Feng. Wang Xifeng paused slightly, but did not look back. She walked to Yu Xin and then cried and saluted Jia Mu, "Old lady, I'm tired.

Please allow me to go back with my brother to rest for a few days. After I have rested, I will come back to serve the old lady."

Jia Mu choked up and couldn't speak anymore.

Yu Xin called his wife, and Mrs. Xue suddenly woke up and hurriedly stood up to help Wang Xifeng, "Good boy, don't cry, my aunt is here.

When we are tired, let us sleep well for a few days. As long as we have enough sleep, we will be fine. Come, kowtow to the old lady and the two ladies."

Wang Xifeng kowtowed as she was told, leaned beside Mrs. Xue, and walked out while crying.

Jia Lian took a step forward and stretched out his hand to stop him. Yu Xin reached out and held his wrist, and said solemnly, "What do you want to say, Mr. Lian?"

Jia Lian only felt that his hands were like iron pliers clamping down on her wrist. It took all of her strength to barely control herself from shouting, and she could not speak.

Yu Xin snorted and shook him off. Although Jia Lian was unwilling to give in, he didn't dare to step forward at all. Instead, he took a few steps back.

Yu Xin and the others didn't walk very fast. There were so many masters and slaves in the flower hall, but no one dared to say anything, let alone stop them.

When their figures disappeared outside the flower hall, a choked sob sounded suddenly, but it was Youshi.

Seeing everyone's eyes turning over, Youshi hurriedly covered her face and suppressed her tears, but she couldn't control her tears at all.

Although Jia Lian was romantic and mischievous, she was nothing compared to Jia Zhen. She saw that Wang Xifeng had ended up like this, so why couldn't she hurt him with something?

What's more, no matter what Wang Xifeng is, her natal family is still prominent, and now Yu Xinqiang is standing up for her, what does she have?

Youshi also knew that she had lost her composure, so she simply stood up and saluted, "Old lady, I just had a few more glasses of wine and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so I left first and asked the old lady to forgive me."

Jia Mu was really upset and waved her hand to let her go, letting out a long sigh.

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but said, "Ancestor, Brother Yu wants to get the Rongxi Hall for Sister Feng, just give it to her!

Brother Yu is right, Brother Lian and Sister Feng are the direct eldest children of the eldest family, and it is natural for us to live in Rongxi Hall. It doesn’t matter where our husband and wife live.”

<divclass="contentadv">Mrs. Wang wanted to cover his mouth and shouted sternly, "You have no place to interrupt here, so shut up!"

Only then did Jia's mother realize that when she was clearing away the girls, she had forgotten to ask Jia Baoyu to go out too.

Well, it's true that Jia Baoyu always hangs out among the girls. He usually goes with them without asking them to do anything. I just don't know why he stayed here today.

She didn't know that Jia Baoyu stayed because Yu Xin didn't leave.

It was easy for him to meet Xue Baobao and other sisters, but it was very difficult to meet Yu Xin, so he was reluctant to leave for a while, but he listened to the whole drama.

Seeing that Mrs. Xing was still watching helplessly, Jia Mu couldn't say much. She just said that she was tired and sent everyone away.

……

……

This Wang Xifeng was surrounded by Mrs. Xue, Xue Baobao and others into the Xue Mansion. Zhen Yinglian took her to her yard to wash up and change clothes, while Xue Baobao went into the kitchen and made a bowl of longevity noodles for her.

By the time Wang Xifeng had finished washing herself and arrived at Mrs. Xue's yard, the bowl of longevity noodles was almost cold.

Mrs. Xue personally gave the chopsticks and said with a smile, "Bao Yatou made the longevity noodles for you with my own hands. Come and eat, remember not to bite them off."

The noodles were very chewy and fresh and fragrant when soaked in the broth. Wang Xifeng could not help but shed tears as she ate.

Mrs. Xue said lovingly, "Stop crying, don't accidentally bite off the noodles and hurt your longevity."

Wang Xifeng sniffed heavily, barely held back her tears, lowered her head and concentrated on eating noodles.

Auntie was right, she couldn't hurt her longevity.

The worse they treat her, the longer she will outlive them all!

A stick of longevity noodles was stretched extremely long by Xue Baobao, filling a big bowl full of it.

Although the banquet just now was specially prepared for Wang Xifeng, she didn't eat anything and only drank a few glasses of birthday wine.

I was really hungry at this time, so I ate everything, even the soup in the bowl.

Mrs. Xue was so happy that she chanted Buddha's name repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Buddha will bless my brother Feng to be strong, live long, and be safe."

Wang Xifeng felt like crying again for some reason, and raised her head to stop her tears.

She has always been a competitive and luxurious person, but at this time she strangely felt that Xue Baobao's simple bowl of longevity noodles and Mrs Xue's simple prayer actually made her more happy than the flower-filled and extravagant banquet stage. grateful.

"Brother Xin just sent a letter to say that Second Master Lian has also sent Niuniu. Brother Xin is afraid that Niuniu will be frightened, so he personally led Sister Bao to hunt for Sister Bao. Sister Bao is making sweets with Niuniu." .

Mrs. Xue said, reaching out and patting the back of Wang Xifeng's hand, and said lovingly, "Brother Feng, no matter where our Wang family girls marry, they will always have their parents' family to rely on.

Needless to say, your uncle, even if I am a bit useless, you still have your brother Xin and Pan'er to rely on.

Now that you are here, you can settle down with peace of mind. Although our family is not as big as the Rongguofu family, we still have a place to live.

I have ordered the yard next to mine to be sorted out. If you are missing or want anything, just tell me.

Don't be polite to me, and don't be a heretic, otherwise it will hurt your cousin and my efforts to protect you."

The tears already swirling in Wang Xifeng's eyes fell uncontrollably, and she threw herself into Mrs. Xue's arms and cried loudly.

Both of her parents died when she was young, and her only biological brother is still a miser. Although Wang Ziteng values ​​her, Mrs. Wang only treats her face-to-face.

It can't be said that Mrs. Wang was not good to her, but she was not as considerate and considerate as her mother.

Moreover, Mrs. Wang still has a biological daughter to educate, so how much attention can she devote to her?

Now that she is 20 years old, no one has ever said so sincerely that they want to protect her, and no one has said that it would be okay to raise her for the rest of her life...

……

……

On the same day, Wang Xifeng and her daughter settled down at Xue's house.

Early the next morning, Wang Xifeng had dressed up and brought Niuniu to greet Mrs. Xue. However, she found that Xue Baobao and other young girls were not there. Only Yu Xin and Xue Pan were eating with Mrs. Xue, so they couldn't help but ask.

Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Your sisters have a lot to do early in the morning. Some are studying, some are playing with herbs, and some are playing with herbs. I don't care what kind of greetings they come to me for.

Brother Xin and Brother Pan have to go to work, and they can't eat well at noon at the Yamen.

I was afraid that they would be in such a hurry in the morning that they would not even be able to eat the morning meal, which would harm their health over time, so I made them come to eat the morning meal with me every day.

It will be the same for you in the future. You can be as comfortable as you want. Our family doesn't like to greet you and serve you early in the morning.

It’s not like I don’t have a maid and a mother-in-law to take care of me. How can I get your children’s turn? "

I am not so comfortable at home, whether it is in my parents’ house before I get married or in my husband’s house after I get married.

Wang Xifeng answered silently, and habitually took the chopsticks from the maid's hand and served Mrs. Xue.

Mrs. Xue scolded, "What did you say just now? Sit down quickly and eat with your brothers.

Could it be that when you arrived at your aunt's house, your aunt still asked you to eat leftovers? "

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to thank her and sit down. Yu Xin said, "Sister Feng, Sister Bao and I discussed yesterday that we would hire a female teacher to teach you how to read and calculate accounts, so that we can communicate with you more easily in the future."

Wang Xifeng subconsciously said, "At my age, why should I look for a husband who is just a joke and can only recognize a few words like Sister Lin?"

Yu Xin laughed, "I heard from Bao Bao that you just turned 20 this year. You are already considered your age, so wouldn't I be an old man?"

Wang Xifeng didn't expect that Yu Xin, who was famous for being cold and ruthless in the capital, could be so friendly in private, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Mrs. Xue also said angrily, "Your cousin is right, how old are you? What are you talking about!

In my opinion, Bao Yatou’s idea is very good. You, a little person, should learn something first and then find a way to spend your time.

For example, your sister Zhen likes to read poetry, your sister Bao likes to play with plants and trees, and your sister Lin likes to calligraphy, painting and writing. These days, she is playing the guqin again, which is very good.

If you are so busy every day, besides hurting your body and mind, what other benefits are there? "

Although Wang Xifeng was usually good at talking, she was unable to answer the question at this time.

Yu Xin was secretly amused. Wang Xifeng had the character of a strong woman. If you asked her to study and grow flowers at home, she would probably die of nothingness.
