Daily life of Xifeng in the Red Chamber

Jia Lian first met Wang Zisheng in front, and the two talked for a long time, and Wang Zisheng allowed him to see Sister Feng behind.

Zhang originally looked down on Jia Lian, but this person came all the way from the capital to show how much he valued Sister Feng, so he laughed and chatted with him for a while, and ordered him to be called Sister Feng.

There is a small lake dug by hand in Mingzhou Zhizhou Mansion, and there is a small pavilion by the lake. The pavilion is surrounded by open space, which is a good place for conversation.

When Sister Feng went, Jia Lian was already waiting. Seeing Sister Feng, she hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, "Your sister is safe."

Sister Feng made a salute before replying: "Thank you for remembering, it's all over."

Jia Lian didn't know what to say for a while, so she just stood and looked at Sister Feng.

Sister Feng said with a smile: "I came all the way here, just to stand here stupidly?"

Jia Lian was full of things to say, but he didn't know where to start.

When he saw Sister Feng for the first time when he was young, he felt that this sister was different from others. As he got older, he also became aware of his own feelings.It's just that there were turmoil in the house in those few years, and he was uncertain, and he didn't dare to say that he would treat her well after marrying her, so he didn't think he had to be Qing.

He thought, if everything goes well, it would be much better for her to marry someone who loves and protects her than marrying him.He has always been her twisted elder brother, and he can support her when he gets married in the future.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, who knows that the old sage made such a decree.When he received the order that day, his mind seemed to explode, and layers of joy filled his heart.Jia Lian may have never said "long live, long live, long live" so piously, he hoped that the old sage would really be "long live, long live".

It seems that it was only then that Jia Lian understood his intentions - he would never see her marry someone else, not anyone, not even the royal family and nobles.

Seeing that he was blank, Sister Feng laughed again and said, "Why is there such a symptom now? If you don't speak, I can go."

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "No, my dear sister, I have come so far and yet I haven't said a word."

Sister Feng sat down on the stone bench and poured tea for him herself: "Then tell me."

Jia Lian was holding the teacup, the tea was scalding hot in the scorching heat, but he didn't feel hot.When Sister Feng saw it, she hurriedly called, "I don't want your hand anymore, let go soon." She looked at his palm again and said angrily, "What an idiot, if you want to torment yourself, find a place where there is no one That is, it must be in front of me."

Jia Lian hurriedly laughed and said, "It's not a toss. I'm full of fear, so I just didn't pay attention for a while."

Sister Feng snorted and said, "Why are you so afraid? Am I a tigress, can I eat you?"

Jia Lian hurriedly said, "I'm afraid you will feel wronged and don't want to marry me."

Sister Feng stopped talking.

Jia Lian said anxiously: "My good sister, just say what you want, as long as I have, I will give you."

Sister Feng spat: "What do you have? If you have a stitch, it must be owned by the family."

Jia Lian said: "I know I used to be absurd, my sister looked down on me very much, but at that time, I didn't expect to marry my sister..."

Sister Feng said angrily: "Could it be that you are quite wronged?"

Jia Lian hurriedly got up and bowed: "Sister, don't wrong me, I am not wronged for myself, I am wronged for you. You are so good, how can I be wronged.

As evidenced by the Empress Dowager, I will treat you well in the future, and if I continue to behave like before, I will get sores on the corners of my mouth, pus in my eyes, and dysentery on my forehead..."

The corners of Sister Feng's eyes twitched when she heard it, and she hurriedly interrupted: "Stop talking, people won't be able to eat for a while."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Don't say it's poisonous, I'm afraid you won't believe me."

Sister Feng said: "You don't have to swear these things. I don't believe it at all. It's good now, but it may not be so in the future. I have to see for myself."

Jia Lian was overjoyed immediately and said, "Don't worry."

When Ping'er came over, he saluted Jia Lian first, and then said, "Madam, please take a look in the front yard to see if there is anything missing."

Jia Lianfang left reluctantly.

Sister Feng sat on the stone bench blankly, staring at nowhere, and didn't move for a long time.Ping'er whispered: "Girl? Girl?"

Sister Feng sighed and said, "This time I really have to resign myself to fate."

Ping'er laughed and said, "Young lady, why are you so discouraged? I think you are all in my heart."

Sister Feng spat: "He is your son-in-law. It's still early, so he will be subdued."

When Jia Lian arrived, Mrs. Zhang treated him indifferently, and Fu Geer wanted to fight him even more. After a few days, I don't know what he did, but his whole family was subdued by him.

Sister Feng also thought about it, since he can do this, it is because he values ​​himself, life is lived by people, and what will happen in the future, he should do his best.

Since the marriage was given, Sister Feng felt that the days were rushing forward like running water.

Her dowry was originally saved up since she was a child, Mrs. Zhang, and when she met Ah Dan again, she earned a lot of money in the past two years. Wang Zisheng and Mrs. Zhang were afraid that she would be wronged, so they searched around for good things for her. Up to the Grange shop, down to the spittoon toilet, everything is included.

The first time Sister Feng saw the dowry list drafted by Mrs. Zhang, she was taken aback, and she hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's not enough, it's not necessary to marry a girl, and the whole family can't survive. This is enough, those estate shops Yes, when the time comes, the distance will be far away, so it won’t be easy to manage, in my opinion, let’s leave it to Brother Fu.”

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Everyone's daughters are afraid of having too few. You are fine, but you think too much. Don't worry, the family is getting better every year. Your father said that Adan intends to buy a few more boats. Brother Fu is still young. , By that time, he would have already saved up again."

Sister Feng said: "That's not so much. I know that my parents are afraid of my grievances, and they want to give me a good face, but the long face is not in it. I don't pick up the things from my mother-in-law's house and give it to my mother's house. I also move my mother's house to my mother's house." My in-laws have gone, how can there be such a good thing!"

Mrs. Zhang scolded with a smile: "Get away from me quickly, don't talk nonsense here! According to what you say, our family should not even send the dowry."

Sister Feng held Zhang's arm and said with a smile, "I think it's good!"

Mrs. Zhang ignored her and still lowered her head to deal with the list.

Wang Zisheng was promoted to the magistrate this year, and his family moved to Hangzhou. Hangzhou and Mingzhou are close to each other, and the customs and climate are similar, so there is nothing unaccustomed to it.Fu Geer was originally studying in an academy in Hangzhou, but now he is closer to home.

Zhang's husband is capable and his son is motivated. There is really nothing wrong with his beloved daughter marrying far away.Even if Sister Feng got married, she also married in the capital, and now she is far away. In a few years, Wang Zisheng must be transferred back to the capital, and the family will be reunited by then.

Since she had nothing to worry about, Zhang's face became more and more beautiful, and it seemed that she was in her forties, and she was not much different from Bi Shuangshi.The princes in Hangzhou have already won official positions, and all the women who came and went flattered Mrs. Zhang, saying that she was comparable to a young girl, and they all rushed to ask her for advice on maintenance techniques.

Mrs. Zhang greeted them with a smile, and also flattered and asked for advice with all the wives.It was a good time.

This day seeing off the guests, Mrs. Zhang beat her waist and sat down. Chuxia hurried up to help her with her stomach stretched out. Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said: "I asked you to go to rest at home earlier, but you didn't, now you have a big belly, I was terrified to see it."

Chu Xia smiled and said: "My wife dislikes me more and more now, Mother Zhao has already rested now, Wan Xia has married again, I don't worry about the little girls below, I will take them with me anyway."

Zhang said: "Your mother-in-law turned around and complained that I, the master, was not considerate."

Chu Xia said: "My mother-in-law also asked me to do my job well, saying that no one can repay the kindness that I have received from the master."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "I thought that all your sisters were hired out, so I asked you to hire them too, but who knew that she got into the eyes of your mother-in-law and came to beg again and again. I saw that she was sincere. I just agreed, if it’s not good for you, just say it.”

Chu Xia also laughed and said, "I am the one who has the final say in the family now. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are all honest people, and our wife is also loyal. My wife specially planned and planned for me that day. You have to take care of the master."

Mrs. Zhang took a sip of tea and said: "I see that you are about to give birth. Don't come back today. You will come up after you are out of confinement. You have to ask those little ones to practice. If not, just point to one You are exhausted."

Chu Xia hurriedly responded, and carefully said: "The girl's dowry is all ready, but this dowry girl..."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "It's up to her. When we were in Mingzhou that year, Brother Lian came over and said that the house is under Feng'er's care."

Chu Xia hurriedly laughed and said, "Girls are as blessed as wives."

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "If you are lucky or not, we women all depend on who you marry. Although it is good now, it will not be what it will be like at that time. Can we still marry someone for my uncle?" Concubine, can't you break into the door of the Duke's mansion?"

Chu Xia said: "Madam, don't worry too much. Our girl's character and appearance are hard to find with lanterns. If my uncle is sensible, he will naturally treat our girl well."

Mrs. Zhang sighed and fell silent.

Chuxia deeply regretted that she brought up this matter again and made Mrs. Zhang worry, so she hurriedly interrupted: "It seems that it will only be more than half a year, Madam is going to let the girl go back to Beijing to get married, or go directly from here?"

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and said, "Her second uncle wrote a letter saying that he wanted her to go back to the ancestral house to get married, but the master was reluctant, and I didn't really want her to go there. The master didn't have time to go back to Beijing at that time." , if you marry from Beijing, won't you even miss your parents?"

Chu Xia said: "Since that's the case, it's time to prepare all the cars and boats, so as not to be in a hurry to pick a good one."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "I've already thought about it. A few salt merchants came to ask me about it. The boats of those salt merchants are all comfortable. You can borrow their boats. I just don't know what the master said. Don't worry about it." For the comfort of this point, he missed his business."

The master and servant discussed for a long time without mentioning it.
