Daily life of Xifeng in the Red Chamber

The quarrel that day ended with the Queen Mother crying, and Sister Cheng moved back to the second room to give up.

Mrs. Li went back and forth to Cuibaiju, holding Mrs. Zhang's hand and weeping, "It's not that I'm unfilial. My sister has never been raised by my side for a few days. Every time I go to see her at the old lady's place, Twice out of three times they were blocked!

If it is good to my sister, I will admit it, but the nanny secretly told me that the old lady would not even look at her on weekdays.I'm happy, but like a kitten or a puppy, it barks and teases me for a while, and when I'm not happy, I want to curse or say some goofy words.

Sister-in-law, you are also a mother, you think, how can I bear this? "

After all, weeping again.

It's not good for Mrs. Zhang to say something bad about her mother-in-law, so she had to comfort her: "Now that my sister has gone back, you and my second uncle love her even more. She is a child. It has been a long time, how can you remember those things?"

Sister Cheng went back to the room these few days, Wang Ziteng wanted to tease him and asked her to call him daddy, but when he said "Sister Cheng, call me daddy, I'm daddy", Sister Cheng said, "Bad!" Hugging her, she turned her head and hugged the nurse's neck silently.

Every time Mrs. Li thought about this, she wished she could rush to the old woman's house and curse for three days, but now she could only force a smile and said: "Sister-in-law is right."

Over the years, Mrs. Zhang has also guessed some reasons why the Queen Mother disliked Wang Zisheng.Originally, I thought that the Queen Mother had only two sons and two daughters in her life. It is not good for the two daughters to take care of her mother's affairs when they marry. With only these two sons left, she has to treat the second uncle well for the sake of peace in her old age. After suffering from such a disease, I became more and more disorganized.

The two sisters-in-law talked for a long time, and they left at night.

During dinner, Wang Zisheng couldn't help asking: "In the past, I didn't see how close you and the second child's family are. How come you have so many conversations today?"

Mrs. Zhang picked a piece of hazel mushroom for him, and said, "It's not easy for her! A few years ago, in the room on the left of my second uncle's room, there was a concubine who took care of her. To take care of the whole family, and to always respond to the old lady's orders, I am exhausted looking at it! After two years, my second uncle has gradually turned around, and I used the filial piety to get rid of those people. It is supposed to be satisfactory , who would have thought that the old lady would be like this again!"

Wang Zisheng said with a smile: "You are kind."

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "I don't have good intentions, I'm always glad in my heart!"

"how?"

"Fortunately, there is her, and the old lady can't just make me feel embarrassed. If it's just me, I'll have to live a long life! Although I don't run the house now, I have less trouble. My sister-in-law is a sensible person. Of course, she also understands that although she is in a bit of trouble now, she will occupy more family property if she stays with the old lady for a hundred years in the future.

Hey, I don't plan to share more with us, as long as we live in peace these few years, we will find a way to earn some money, find a good husband's house for Sister Feng, and let Fu Geer learn from her heart, think about it , is also very good! "

Wang Zisheng put down the bowl and chopsticks, stretched out his hand to stroke Zhang's hair, and said, "You have been tired these few years!"

Sister Feng was a big kid, she covered her eyes with her hands, and said with a smile, "I didn't see anything!"

Fu Geer also followed his sister's example: "I didn't watch it!"

Mrs. Zhang blushed and spat: "Don't be respectful, the children are all here!"

Sister Feng jumped off the stool: "Brother Fu, have you finished eating? My sister will take you to play."

Fu Geer opened his arms and asked the girl to hug him: "Play!"

Sister Feng made a face to Mrs. Zhang: "The children are not here now!"

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she wanted to grab her and beat her up, but Sister Feng ran away laughing.

She hated her so much that Mrs. Zhang scolded: "It's a loach!" Then she scolded Wang Zisheng, "What are you laughing at! You're all used to it! Girls dare to say anything! I'll have Mr. Lu punish her severely! "

Wang Zisheng begged for forgiveness, "It's all about me, Meng Lang."

"It was originally, and I didn't even look at when to do it!"

On New Year's Eve of this year, the two brothers Wang Zisheng offered incense in the ancestral hall, and when he came out, Wang Zisheng said, "You are also a filial piety now, do you have any plans for the recovery?"

Wang Ziteng said: "I have written a letter to my father-in-law, and I have handed over the booklet. I think it should be arranged soon."

"So, you still want to practice martial arts?"

"Our family has always been like this, what can we say?"

Wang Zisheng pondered for a while and said: "When the saint was in the hidden mansion, you and the former King Su...if you take the military post now, the saint may be displeased."

Wang Ziteng was already worried, but when he heard him like this, he said angrily: "Brother, why didn't you say that at the beginning? He has made a good career without making a sound, and even I, a brother, are on guard. Why are you pretending to be a good person now! "

The prince was so angry that he walked away.

But Wang Ziteng also talked to Li Shi after returning to the room, and Li Shi said: "I am a woman, and I don't dare to talk about important things outside. It's just that I take care of these servants at home. If someone from my sister-in-law comes to join me, You have to wait for a while before you dare to use it. People have the same heart, and the same is true for saints?"

Wang Ziteng said: "I don't know what my elder brother said. It's just that you know that my family has been military generals for generations, and everyone I know is in the army, and my father-in-law is also a military officer. Our two families do not support civil servants." What do you tell me to do!"

Wang Zisheng is a great-grandson, and he has to observe another two years of filial piety, so this year the Wang family still does not hold a big New Year's Eve.Only the prince vacated a room to pay New Year's greetings, and the relatives and colleagues moved frequently again.

After the fifteenth day, Wang Ziteng's appointment came down, and he was still ordered to serve as a flying cavalry captain and lead the fifth rank.Wang Ziteng was very happy. Captain Flying Cavalry is a soldier of the saint. In this way, the worries of the past are gone.

Wang Zisheng had doubts, but seeing that Wang Ziteng was in high spirits, it was useless to persuade him, so he had to refrain from mentioning it.

In the past few days, Mrs. Li had a happy event, her husband and son-in-law respected her, and her daughter became more and more intimate with her, and now she has become a filial piety, and after a while, adding a brother, life is really not bad!

She asked people to hug two pieces of Shu brocade, and said to Zhang with a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, look, I'm just asking for your help. I heard that Mr. Lu was specially invited by uncle. Now sister Cheng is also grown up." , can you tell my husband to ask Cheng Cheng to follow the class?"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "What's this worth? I'll be done when I go over and ask. Why give such a big gift!"

Li said: "I save this for Sister Feng to make clothes. She is also eight years old. It's time to dress up."

"Thank you for thinking about it. It's just that she is a child and grows fast, so there is no need to give her such a good one!"

Li said with a smile: "In a family like ours, the children can't get what they want. It's just my aunt's wish!"

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to accept it, and thought about how to return the gift.

The two sisters-in-law here were chatting and laughing, and the Queen Mother sent Luliu to invite them: "The old lady invites the ladies to come over."

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked: "But what's the matter?"

Luliu said: "I don't know what it is, tell the two wives to go quickly, the two masters have already been invited."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li were shocked when they heard that, and rushed to the Queen Mother's place. On the way, they inquired with Lu Liu: "How is the old lady in a mood now?"

Lu Liu replied: "It's nothing, it's the same as when the ladies came to say hello this morning."

The two were quite worried about what was going on, and they hurried on the road while holding the girl's hand.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the main courtyard, brothers Wang Zisheng also arrived.The four of them looked at each other and went in to say hello without saying much.

The Queen Mother looked good, she didn't even look at them when they came in, she quietly held a cup of tea and lost her mind.

Wang Ziteng first asked: "Is there something urgent for the old lady? Is there any illness, or is there something that doesn't suit you?"

The Queen Mother came back to her senses and said: "You guys sit down. I came to you today to talk to you about the separation of the family."

Before the poor four could sit still, they were startled by the Queen Mother, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "How can this be done? I think it's because we didn't serve well enough to make the old lady angry. The old lady just beats and scolds, and the sons will be killed." Changed!"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "I know, you all think I'm an old idiot. I also figured it out. After the family is separated, I will live in another courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and I won't hinder your eyes. .”

The four kowtowed incessantly: "If the sons think this way, they are not as good as pigs and dogs! In the past, the sons made the old lady angry, and the old lady asked the old lady to forgive us for the sake of mother and child, so that we have a chance to redeem our sins!"

"Needless to say, I have already sent someone to invite Jinling's uncle to come over, and it will be refreshing to sign with them when the time comes."

The two brothers wanted to kowtow, and the queen mother said again: "I have asked someone to sort out the property in the family. Although the eldest son is the eldest son, he is only of mediocre intelligence and can do nothing. When your father was alive, there was never a day when he did not want to let the Wang family return Further, I thought, what will happen to the Wang family from now on depends on the second child. Therefore, [-]% of the family property of the sacrificial land and ancestral house will be left to the second child, and the remaining [-]% will be enough for the old family to spend. You can be convinced ?”

At this moment, Wang Zisheng's heart was not disturbed. He kowtowed and said: "Everything is done according to the old lady's orders, but since ancient times, parents have been with the eldest son, and the old lady always wants her son to be filial."

The Queen Mother snorted, "I never count on you. I have my own dowry and property here. It is better to live in another courtyard than to be angry with you here!"

Wang Ziteng also kowtowed and said: "Since the mother is not with the eldest brother, it is better to be with the son, otherwise if it spreads, everyone will think that our brother is not filial."

The Queen Mother said: "I told the outside world that I followed you, but I was not feeling well, so I went out of the city to cultivate. Besides, when I get old in the future, I will naturally ask you to bring me back. Don't you care about it?"

The separation of the Wangfu family came without warning, but it was simple and swift.Wang Ziteng didn't want to push it out because he got a profit, while Wang Zisheng didn't want to say anything because he had nothing to say.

"It's hard for you to follow me and suffer such grievances!"

Seeing that Wang Zisheng was not in a good mood, Mrs. Zhang said: "A good man doesn't eat a separate meal. Could it be that the master can't afford to support our mothers?"

Wang Zisheng forced a smile, and said: "Now, I have repaid the grace of nurturing!"

Zhang's eyes turned red, and she persuaded in a low voice: "The old lady is sick, we children should follow her."

Wang Zisheng held her hand, and his eyes didn't know where to look: "I knew since I was a child that she treated me differently from my second brother. At that time, I just thought that I was not as smart as my second brother, so I studied hard and practiced martial arts, just like my second brother. Make her smile at me too.

The second brother is quite talented in martial arts, the master often praised him for his flexibility and strange moves, he can learn any moves by just watching them twice, and he can also adapt them.And I can only use stupid methods. The master taught me if I can’t do it once, I’ll learn it twice, and if I can’t teach it twice, I’ll learn it three times. The master was very angry, but he didn’t dare to scold me, so he told me that these moves are too difficult Well, I can't learn well, let me just practice basic moves.

Later, every time I learned martial arts, the master took my second brother to learn new moves, and I practiced chopping, chopping, and stabbing at the same time...

Now that I think about it, the master's level is limited. Although he taught the second brother a lot of moves, he didn't teach him to lay a solid foundation.Although he didn't teach me, he made me lay the groundwork by mistake.

That time, my parents came to see me compete with my second brother. At the beginning, I was beaten so helplessly by my second brother. I heard my parents praise my second brother from the sidelines, saying that he will surely shine in the family in the future.I was dissatisfied, held my breath and refused to admit defeat. The second brother was physically weaker than me, and finally let me knock him down.

I was full of joy, thinking that this time my parents would praise me and like me, but my mother rushed to help my second brother up, and scolded me for not knowing how to love brothers and how to be filial and fraternal..."
