Daily life of Xifeng in the Red Chamber

Mrs. Zhang specially invited Mrs. Jia to come to the house as a guest this day. She said that it is a new recipe that has been maintained, so she was specially invited to refer to it for details.

Then Mrs. Jia had no reason to be unreasonable, so she came here in a hurry early in the morning with a few confidants.

Mrs. Zhang went up to meet her with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. I see that my wife has calmed down a bit."

Mrs. Jia said happily: "Thanks to the method you told me last time, it didn't work at first, and I didn't bother to do it. Who would have thought that my girl would be useful after doing it for a while, so I picked it up again. stand up.

I think this method is good everywhere, but it is exhausting and the effect is slow. "

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "That's not to say, only people like Madam can persevere, and this will be effective. If it's someone else, I won't say it. She spends three days fishing and two days drying nets. In the end, it still depends on my way, tell me, where can I go to reason.”

The two talked and laughed and went inside.

It turned out that Wang Zisheng saw the flowers on the desk that day, and suddenly thought of the female family member of Jia Yucun's family, and vaguely remembered that she seemed to be a person who didn't think much, but he could open a hole from her.Therefore, after discussing with Mrs. Zhang, we have today's banquet.

Here Mrs. Zhang just flatters Mrs. Jia: "Madam is a good-looking woman, but when she gave birth to her brother a few years ago, she put herself behind for the sake of the child. I really feel sorry for the loving mothers in the world."

Mrs. Jia wiped her tears and said: "It's considered that I have met someone who knows me. Hey, you don't know how I came here in the past few years. Because of my brother, my face is also ruined and my body is fat, but my master has lost weight again. Inconsiderate!"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "Look at me! It's all my mouth that made Madam sad. But now I see that Madam has recovered by [-]% or [-]% even though she hasn't reached her prime. Those who don't know, who Can you think that the wife has given birth?"

Mrs. Jia also laughed and said, "This is all a gift from you. Now that the master often comes to me again, those little fairies in my house don't dare to compete with me anymore!"

Mrs. Zhang was trying to force herself to say some flattering words, but she was already in shock, seeing her telling all the things in the room, her stomach and intestines were overwhelmed, so she had to drink a big mouthful of tea to suppress it.

Mrs. Jia still didn't realize it, she pulled Mrs Zhang and asked, "What good prescription have you got?"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly called Chu Xia: "Go to my room, and bring the prescription at the bottom of the dressing box with a lock."

When Mrs. Jia heard that the box was locked and placed at the bottom, she thought it was an excellent prescription.On the one hand, she was a little complacent, so what if these people came from famous families and officials, they had to curry favor with her; on the other hand, she was quite ashamed, she felt that her background was inferior to others, and she had nowhere to find these prescriptions.

Seeing the flicker in her eyes, Mrs. Zhang guessed what she was thinking, and couldn't help laughing secretly.Or what Sister Feng said is right, there is that kind of person who is suddenly rich, yet arrogant and inferior, no matter what happens, he always associates it with himself.In fact, as long as you are honest, who cares whether you are poor or rich, it's just mediocrity.

Chuxia brought the prescription, and Mrs. Zhang handed it to Mrs. Jia to read.Mrs. Jia was born as a maidservant, she can't read well, and she has learned some since she joined Jia Yucun, but her mind has always been on fighting for favor in the back house, and she hasn't made much progress.So he didn't answer, just said: "I'm a bit dazed, just read it and I'll listen to it."

Mrs. Zhang said: "This prescription is called Xuejifang, which was used by the Feiyan lady in the Han Dynasty. She said that this Feiyan lady used the Xuejifang, her skin is better than snow, and there is no blemish. I can't see any traces of it. I was so fascinated by Emperor Han that I couldn't leave for a day, and I didn't even go to court. But it was lost for some reason.

Now this prescription was restored by a few elderly folk doctors who spent more than ten years. I heard that it is very good, even better than the original one. "

Mrs. Jia didn't know about the Han Dynasty and Zhao Feiyan, but when she heard the history, she thought it was very powerful.Even the emperor couldn't resist, her master was just a fifth-rank official, how could he not be fascinated?So he hurriedly said: "Tell me quickly, how did you make this recipe? Is the material you are looking for hard to find?"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "This is the strangeness of this recipe. If you say that these materials are all easy to get, they are not very eye-catching on weekdays. Who knows that they have such a miraculous effect when they are put together."

Mrs. Jia then urged: "Tell me quickly."

Mrs. Zhang took the piece of paper made up by Sister Feng and read: "Two qian for pearl powder, one qian for purple jasmine stamen... Take the egg white of the first egg laid by a new hen and add it to the primer and stir it into a paste. After cleansing the face, apply it on the face for a quarter of an hour."

After hearing this, Mrs. Jia felt that it was easy to get these things, and asked again: "Then what is this introduction?"

Mrs. Zhang then said: "This introduction is a bit of an exaggeration. Madam heard it too. The things mentioned above are easy to get. This introduction is in this introduction."

Mrs. Jia hurriedly sat up straight, staring at her with burning eyes.

Mrs. Zhang leaned close to her ear, covered it with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "It's powder ground from a penny of treasury silver."

Mrs. Jia thought to herself, but it's not difficult. Now the world's money is not all from the treasury.So she looked down on Mrs. Zhang, there was nothing to cover up, it made it so mysterious!

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Mrs. Zhang said: "I said that the newer the silver, the better it came out of the warehouse. If you don't believe me, take a look." Then he turned up his sleeves halfway.

Mrs. Jia saw that although the arm was white and delicate, there were two places that were fairer, and one of these two places was more lustrous and translucent.He was surprised and said, "This...is this?"

Mrs. Zhang put down her sleeves and said: "I don't believe it at first, it's all money from the emperor, why must it be a new one? So I took two kinds of money and tried it on myself first.

No, you have seen it all, how can I lie to you with nonsense! "

Mrs. Jia thought about it and murmured: "So, it must be a new one? It's not difficult, at home..." When she said this, she knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately went to see Mrs. Zhang, but she saw Mrs. Zhang Secretly told Chuxia: "Master's salary last month was collected by asparagus, you can steal some later."

The girl named Chuxia showed a look of embarrassment on her face, she could only say: "Yes, I will go when he comes back later."

Mrs. Zhang turned her head and saw Mrs. Jia was looking at her, so she said awkwardly: "My master treats me very well, it's not that he just takes money and doesn't want flowers."

Mrs. Jia showed that subtle expression again, and said with a smile: "Hey, every family has some difficult scriptures to recite, you don't have to hide it for him."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Hiding anything, hey, it's nothing to do. Madam should have a good taste of my family's food today."

Then Mrs. Jia felt that she was understanding, and said along the way: "Of course, everyone said that your food is delicious, but I didn't really try it a few times ago."

During the banquet, Mrs. Zhang persuaded her to drink a few more times, and Mrs. Jia became a little drunk, and some words came out of her mouth.Mrs. Zhang didn't know if it was useful or not, so she wrote it all down and gave it to Wang Zisheng.

Holding this, Wang Zisheng knew in his heart that the master was not lying, and he probably knew some traces of the deeds of the county magistrate and Jia Yucun.

Frowning, he walked back and forth in the study a few times, making a plan in his mind, and hurriedly ordered someone to investigate again without mentioning it.

Boss Liu worked hard for several days and nights, and finally made a water truck that can divert water only by water flow without manpower or animal power.

Sister Feng didn't care about it, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite Wang Zisheng to the front yard, and then she put on her cap and went forward.

When I passed the second gate, I was stopped by Zhao's mother: "Good girl, wait a little longer, I know it's amazing, but it's just that outsiders have to avoid it for a while."

Sister Feng waited patiently again.At that moment, Wang Zisheng ordered someone to say: "There is no one in front, sir, please just go there."

Sister Feng was accompanied by Zhao's mother.Wang Zisheng watched the waterwheel move, and saw Sister Feng coming, his eyes were slightly bright: "Good girl, I have to thank you for these people."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "I just see Daddy's worries and share them for Daddy. Don't be like this, Daddy."

Wang Zisheng said: "Ask someone to carry it outside to try it again. If it can be used outside, it will really solve a big problem."

Sister Feng also looked at it for a long time, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she said, "Father just go to work, but the origin of this thing has to be thought about by Dad."

Wang Zisheng sighed, and wanted to reach out to touch Sister Feng's head, but when he raised his hand, he saw that the girl was already grown, so he had to put it down again, and said: "I have wronged you, this is how the world is. If you want anything, I will buy it for you later. "

Sister Feng said with a smile: "I have everything at home, and I don't need anything. Don't think about it, father. I don't lack food or drink. What can I get if I have some fame?"

Wang Zisheng ordered Zhao's mother to take her back, and went out by himself.

I have been busy until the middle of April. On that day, Sister Feng was in class with Mr. Lu, when suddenly Mrs. Zhang sent her to come to receive the imperial edict.

Sister Feng didn't know what was going on, so she hurriedly rearranged her clothes and came forward.The front incense table was also set up, and the family knelt down to listen to the order.The inner minister read in a high-pitched voice for a long time, and then Sister Feng heard that the matter of Jiayu village had been found out, and the saint had ordered him to confiscate his home and put him in prison, and ordered Wang Zisheng to take over the post of magistrate and Shengzhou affairs.

The inner minister's surname is Li, and he was an old acquaintance with Wang Zisheng. After the decree was announced, he smiled at Wang Zisheng and said, "It's a pity that everyone still said Mrs. Wang, but who knows that you can get up wherever you go."

Wang Zisheng laughed and said: "This is all the grace of the saint, and it all depends on you guys in Beijing thinking about me. Are you in a hurry to return to your life when you come here? If you are not in a hurry, stay with me for a few days , I haven’t been back to Beijing for a long time, and I miss you very much.”

Li Neixiang smiled and said: "Where is the time? This time I saw that the decree was announced to you, so I invited myself here. Otherwise, this errand would not have reached me.

You have done a good job this time, there is no trouble here in Shengzhou, and Beijing is not peaceful, if there is another trouble in Shengzhou, those people will have more fun. "

Wang Zisheng pointed his hand upwards and asked, "Is it still?"

Li Neixiang waved his hand: "Don't ask, just do your job well, the saint remembers you in his heart. Your younger brother is very honest now, and the saint is using him now for your sake."

Wang Zisheng hesitated to speak.

Li Neixiang smiled and said: "Still have such a temper! Before I came, the saint said, if I told you that the saint is using your brother, you will keep it like this.

Don't worry, the sage knows well, if he does his job well, the sage will not treat him badly; if you think about other things, then his life will be considered in vain. "

The author has something to say:
