Daily life of Xifeng in the Red Chamber

After leaving Sister Feng's yard, Qingwen said to Yuchuan'er: "We came here so recklessly. If your wife asks about it later, it seems that you don't have a master in your eyes. You don't know how to ask the master when you are in trouble. Instead, ask someone else. Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the master?"

Yu Chuan'er said hurriedly, "I was in a hurry, but I didn't expect it. Thanks to Ping'er's carefulness."

Qingwen smiled and said, "What do you know, there is no one stupid around our second mistress."

Yu Chuan'er said: "It's just that the second grandma is a bit more disciplined and makes people uncomfortable. I think you are very good in Baoyu's courtyard. He treats you well and has an easy-going temper. It's just that something annoyed him, just a few jokes." It's over."

Qingwen sneered: "You don't want to say you're stupid, of course it's better to have rules, like our place..."

When she said this, she hurriedly stopped talking, for fear that Yu Chuan'er would inquire about it. Yu Chuan'er was still thinking about Jin Chuan'er's injury at this time, so she didn't take it to heart, and said: "Let's hurry up, my sister is at home alone. She's scared, so she can feel relieved when she goes back."

Qingwen didn't say much, and walked a few steps quickly.

After Sister Feng got up, she couldn't sleep when she lay down again. She rested her chin on her hand and sat there in a daze.Ping'er saw it and said with a smile: "Grandma, what's the matter, there are so many things waiting, but she is here again."

Sister Feng said: "I'm thinking about the money for repairing the garden in my heart. I spend it like a stream of water. It hurts so much that my heart trembles."

Ping'er said with a smile: "How much silver is there to do so many things, the master has already put in one hundred thousand silver, so why don't grandma fill it in?"

Sister Feng sighed: "It's easy to say, this one hundred thousand silver sounds like a lot, but think about it, how much does it cost for such a big garden, although there are no exotic flowers and plants in it, but just an ordinary scenery? One hundred thousand silver coins can't even be heard.

Mother-in-law visits relatives, and the various decorations can't be repeated, even if they are not as useful as they are, they are still the best of the best, which is another big sum. "

Ping'er also worried when he said it: "But whether it is repaired or not, we don't count if we say it."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "You haven't seen how many temple worshipers we have here in the past few days. They are all thinking of taking a fat job in this matter. How can I arrange so many fat jobs for them? One or two million yuan To build a garden, these people dare to take 200 to 40 yuan, but I don’t know anything about it.”

Ping'er sighed: "People's hearts are greedy, it has been like this since ancient times. Fortunately, this time we don't need our family to be in charge, and the second master's family will take care of it."

Sister Feng said: "This is a major event for the family. How can we skip us alone. In the past few days, you will personally lead people to reorganize our small warehouse, and everything else is fine. Are there any new and interesting Western objects?" Son, make a list, we will pick some and send them to the garden, it will be considered as a wish."

Ping'er laughed and said: "Grandma is getting more and more good at playing tricks. Others see those things as novel and expensive. We couldn't make it easier."

Sister Feng also laughed and said: "Who wants to be so careful. If I don't pay out a penny, it's hard to guarantee how outsiders will talk about me; Thirty to fifty thousand, my good aunt doesn't know what kind of moths are going to be born."

Ping'er wondered: "Second wife is really strange, you and her are relatives with broken bones, yet she doesn't get close to you at all."

Sister Feng said: "People are born with fate, and it just so happens that we two who don't agree with each other have formed a family."

Many craftsmen were hired to work day and night on the family-visiting garden, but it still took nearly a year to complete. Jia Zheng took people around to look around, and it was really perfect, so he asked for an order to welcome Yuanchun to the family-friendly garden.

Sister Feng was also curious about what the legendary "Grand View Garden" looked like, but it was inconvenient for her to go to the garden a few days ago when people came and went, but after it was repaired, Jia Zheng only asked people to clean it up every day, waiting for the empress. , Sister Feng was not well, so she went in to hang out.

It was not until the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year that Sister Feng saw the Grand View Garden with everyone.

To tell the truth, this day was just standing. The royal family travels no more than ordinary people. There are many rules and complicated etiquette. At the end of the day, I am cold, tired and hungry, and I don’t have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery.And it was winter, many flowers and trees did not bloom, they were just fake flowers glued on by people, just to suit the scene.

Sister Feng lay in Jia Lian's arms and said this, laughing so hard that Jia Lian's chest shook: "What a big deal. It's all my fault that I didn't think of it. Otherwise, I would have taken you in for a stroll. There is nothing to see now. When the flowers bloom in spring, I will take you in through the corner gate, and there is no need to tell one or the other, we will go around quietly and ask you to open your eyes and see the place where the nobles of the palace rest."

The last sentence was ridiculed, and Sister Feng patted him lightly: "Speak out."

Jia Lian said: "Hey, you don't know. I thought, after building this garden, why the empress will have to live for ten days and a half months. Who knows if there will be an hour in total.

For this one hour, money was spent like mountains and seas.If it weren't for this, I don't know how much money my family could squeeze out.

Our empress's good mother, "borrowed" from her old in-laws, I see what she will pay back in the end.We kindly sent some decorations over, but we thought this was frivolous, that was not dignified, and was not worthy of the status of the empress. If it was really not worthy, it would be fine to return it to us. Why did we put it on again? "

Jia Lian and his party said that Sister Feng and her party laughed so hard that Jia Lian couldn't hold her. They also laughed and said, "Talk to you well. What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing that you stole my words. I should have complained. I didn't say anything, so you rushed to say it. Tell me honestly, are you afraid that I think you are subsidizing the family, so put on this appearance first , so that I have nothing to say?"

Jia Lian stretched out his hand and patted Sister Feng under the blanket: "Nonsense."

Sister Feng pretended to cry and said, "Okay, you, if I hit you, hit me."

Jia Lian laughed and said, "Not only do I beat you, but I also have other ways to cure you. Do you want to try it?"

Sister Feng said vigilantly: "No, no, it's getting late, let's get some rest."

Jia Lian snorted twice: "It's late." Turning over, she pressed Sister Feng under her body.

Sister Feng got up in the morning and Jia Lian had already gone to the yamen. Sister Qiao sat at the foot of the bed with a big bowl in her arms and drank milk by herself. Wake up, mother is sorry."

Ping'er took away the bowl from Sister Qiao's hand, and Sister Qiao rolled into Sister Feng's bed with a "gurgle" and said, "Mother put my arms around me to sleep."

Sister Feng was washed by Jia Lian last night, and the sheets and quilts were changed, but Sister Qiao inevitably felt a little uncomfortable when she sneaked in like this, her face was slightly hot, and she hurriedly coaxed: "Go out to play with your aunt first Mom, get up and go outside to play shuttlecock with you."

Sister Qiao is so young, she doesn't know how to kick shuttlecock, as long as there is something to play, she is happy, so she clapped her hands and said, "Mother, come quickly."

Sister Feng's level of shuttlecock kicking is limited, and her legs are still sore and weak. After kicking a few times, Fuman smiled and said: "Grandma just got up now, and I don't have the strength yet. I'll show my sister a few kicks first."

Sister Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Whoever else of you can play, come and play, and whoever plays well, let your sister Ping give you reward money."

A group of little girls happily played and rewarded, and they all said: "I will."

Everyone took their own shuttlecocks to kick, and some of them who were dexterous made their own feathered shuttlecocks, colorful ones, which were raised and lowered on their feet, and looked very beautiful under the sun; The small square bag, which may contain some sand, or add some millet without telling the adults, looks good.

For a while there was constant laughter and voices in the courtyard. Sister Qiao had never seen such excitement before, she clapped her hands and screamed, which made Ping'er coax: "Good girl, keep your voice down, your throat hurts when you look back."

How can Sister Qiao take care of this? She pestered Sister Feng to ask for a big shuttlecock to kick.Fuman smiled and gave her his shuttlecock, but sister Qiao didn't think she was good-looking, so she wanted a beautiful one.

Poor Fuman has always been a pragmatist, he doesn't care whether it looks good or not, so he has to find another good-looking one for Sister Qiao pitifully, which makes everyone laugh.

Daiyu and the others wanted to discuss something with Sister Feng, so they made an appointment to come to Sister Feng's place together. As soon as they entered the courtyard, and saw this scene, they all said, "What a second grandma, give us all the work. But bringing people here for fun, no way, no way, you must be punished."

Sister Feng smiled and asked people to leave, and said: "You are 'going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing', so tell me, what's the matter?"

Tanchun said: "Second sister-in-law is so unreasonable. We caught her being lazy. We haven't asked the teacher to ask the crime, but you should beat us and ask us."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "My little aunt, please forgive me."

Daiyu laughed and said, "For the sake of sister Qiao, I won't argue with you this time."

Sister Feng looked at Sister Qiao and said with a smile, "My dear girl, this time, mother has got your favor."

Sister Qiao opened her big eyes, regardless of what everyone said, said: "Yes."

It made everyone hug her and love her.

Daiyu and the others came to ask Sister Feng for leave because they were busy with family affairs a while ago, and they came to ask Sister Feng for leave: "We agreed to start the poetry club, and we started that time together, so we are busy at home every day. We have to take advantage of the free time these days, we have to take a vacation to have fun, even the imperial court, we have to let the officials take a rest."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "I'm so black-hearted that I won't let you rest. In this way, you have really worked hard this year. As my sister-in-law, I will give you the same gift."

Xichun said, "Is there really a gift?"

Sister Feng felt sorry for the hard work of the housekeepers of the little girls, and prepared gifts for them early on, but she was busy with visiting relatives a few days ago, so she didn't have time to send them, so she smiled and said: "Prepare for you early." Get off, come and see if you like it." On the one hand, he called Ping'er, "Go and bring the presents we picked out for the girls."

Sister Qiao hugged Ping'er's thigh and said, "Aunt Ping, Sister Qiao also wants a present."

Ping'er bent down and picked her up and said: "Okay, I have prepared a gift for the girl."
