Daily life of Xifeng in the Red Chamber

Sister Feng knew that Mrs. Zhang would not believe her if she just said yes, so she smiled and said: "The old lady is facing me. It's no big deal even if she is a little cautious. Besides, it's separated from the room, so it's not good for her to always go over my mother-in-law to teach me a lesson. I."

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "Your father is really unlucky. To have such a younger sister, it seems like he owed her in his previous life. As an aunt, she treats her niece a lot, but she is good. She doesn't change her mind. We should be thankful. "

Sister Feng said with a smile: "I'm not afraid of her crooked thoughts, mother knows." Sister Feng coughed lightly, "My aunt is more straightforward, and she can't think of any powerful tricks."

Mrs. Zhang was amused: "It's still so narrow, you must not talk nonsense in front of outsiders."

Sister Feng took Zhang's arm and said coquettishly: "I know, how old I am, don't worry about it."

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "Raising a child who is a hundred years old often worries about 99. You are seventy and eighty, and I can't stop worrying about it."

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "I am seventy or eighty years old and I would like my mother to worry about me."

Mrs. Zhang scolded with a smile: "Slick tongue."

Because Sister Feng was pregnant, Jia Lian didn't want to entertain her colleagues at home, but Sister Feng persuaded her and said, "You just came here, and you are pointing at this situation. If you invite them outside at will, wouldn't people think you are No one in the eyes? Then things will be even more difficult in the future."

Jia Lian said guiltily, "It's too hard for you to take care of these while you're pregnant."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Mother is here, she just helps me, and she knows most of these people well, so she can mention me, so it saves a lot of worry."

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll set the date farther away, and you can clean up slowly, so as not to be in a hurry."

At this time, salt and iron were all run by the government, and the profits were huge, as can be seen from the fact that the salt tax in the south of the Yangtze River accounted for the second-fifth of the national treasury.And there are many places where it can be manipulated. There must be a certain force behind the big salt merchants, and there are also some private salt dealers. Anyone who can leave a name may have a huge chain of interests hidden behind him.

Now that Jia Lian has just arrived, it is just a dream to move these people.Jia Lian doesn't have that much ambition, he wants to see who is behind these people first, and then he can do things slowly after he has a clue, otherwise he is as muddleheaded as he is now, and he will wait to be led by the nose. In the end, I lost my life and I don't know whose hand it was.

In fact, he didn't really want Sister Feng to come with him in his heart, there were too many uncertainties, and he wasn't sure how to protect her in this muddy swamp.It's just that he knows Sister Feng's temperament, if she is left alone in Beijing, she will sneak away and come with her.It's better to come here together, he can prepare early.

On the day of the banquet, not only Jia Lian's colleagues, but also many salt merchants.We all know that the salt merchant is rich, and the gift list left when he entered the door made Wang'er tremble in his heart, mother, this is really an eye-opener.

Nowadays, pink pearls are popular in Beijing, but these things are rare, and if any family member gets a string of these beads, they will be envied for a long time at the party.But when they came here, they talked about two dendrobiums—two dendrobiums of pink pearls the size of longan. Wang'er swallowed, and finally got a straight face, without losing his status as the first long-term follower of Mr. Jia.

Sister Feng is also open-eyed. Although I often hear that the salt merchant's family is not very particular, I don't know that they are not so particular.The person who came out to meet the guests was not the main house, but the concubine.

Sister Feng was busy entertaining guests here, and a resplendent and resplendent beauty came over there, with three or five gold hairpins inserted in her head, and an antique plum blossom makeup, showing most of her breasts and holding half her arms.She learned to be a beauty of the Tang Dynasty, but she didn't learn the slightest bit of charm, only frivolity and greasyness remained, but she acted [-]% of it.

Sister Feng hurriedly went to see Mrs. Zhang, but this one was probably a new favorite, and even Mrs. Zhang had never heard of her name.

The visitor is a guest, and Sister Feng hurriedly went up to meet her, and said with a smile, "forgive my blind eyes, but I don't know who this lady is?"

The "beauty of the Tang Dynasty" twirled the handkerchief with three fingers, covering the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if Madam doesn't know me, I'm not a wife."

The little girl beside her was clever, she quickly squatted down to ask for peace and said: "We belong to Mr. Xiong's family, this is our wife Ru."

Mrs. Ru wiped the corner of her mouth and said with a smile, "You call me Jiaohong."

Sister Feng only wanted to look at the Western scenery, and called Fuman, "Just set up a table for Mrs. Ru." Then she turned to her and said, "I don't know if Mrs. Ru will come again. I'm neglecting you. Please sit in the side hall."

Jiao Hong sneered: "Do you know who my master is? He treated me like this?"

Sister Feng still smiled and said, "You just need to know who your master is. I don't know, it doesn't matter."

Jiaohong's face was purple, she said "Okay" three times, led the girl, and left without looking back.

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "It's very good. You don't have to show shame to these people. I've been here all these years, and I never entertain these people. It doesn't hurt my eyes."

There was an elderly lady over there and said: "I don't know Madam, this is Boss Xiong's concubine, she is very cute, we people don't dare to offend her, because when she goes back and blows on the pillow, Boss Xiong will kill her." Vent for him and find trouble with men outside. He is a powerful one, hey."

This lady's surname is Chen, although her face is well maintained, she has a sad look, and it seems that she is also having a hard time at home, but the family still cares about the big face, and will not call a concubine out to socialize.

Sister Feng was grateful for her kindness, took her hand and smiled and said: "We are happy with us, don't pay attention to her, here are all big women, why don't you accompany her and talk about how to please men?"

There was a lady who said with a smile: "Ma'am, what I said is just right for me. In the past, I didn't like these enchanting people. I just stayed at home. When I go out, I want ninjas to talk to these people. This is my temper in recent years." Well, catch up with me when I was young, and the face doesn't tear her up."

Someone else laughed and said, "Stop bragging here, even when you were young, you never saw Boss Feng take less people into your family."

It is said that the daughters of Jiangnan water villages are delicate and soft, but Sister Feng thinks that these two have a sassy temperament.At that time, all the opera wine was ready, and everyone sat down. Sister Feng raised a glass to toast first, and everyone listened to the opera while eating, and they met quickly.

That Jiaohong walked out the door angrily, and laughed out loud as soon as she got into the carriage: "Interesting."

Her girl asked nervously, "What's wrong with Auntie?"

The delicate red and light white fingers pointed at her: "Stupid. That's fine, I'm tired too, let's go back."

When Boss Xiong came back in the afternoon, he went to Jiaohong's place as soon as he entered the door.

Jiao Hong smiled and leaned into his arms: "Master still knows to come back? He knows that I have been wronged, and he doesn't say he is angry for me."

Boss Xiong groped her body with his big hands: "Who can bully you, thank God if you don't bully others."

That Jiaohong snorted, turned out of his embrace, and pouted to look at him.

Boss Xiong leaned over and kissed her, and said, "Okay, baby, tell me quickly, how about it?"

Jiao Hong coquettishly said: "It's a good treasure if you need it." Then she straightened her face and said, "This Mrs. Jia looks shrewd, I don't know if she is arrogant and spoiled too much by her family, I disdain to be with people like me, but I still got Master Jia's instruction not to take you seriously.

You are thinking about others here, and they may be thinking about you too. It may not be easy to judge something through this one-sided and two-sided judgment. "

Boss Xiong smiled and said, "You don't understand that. I don't have to guess why she is like this. As long as she does it, it's a sign."

Jiao Hong was puzzled and said, "What if she made it up on her own? You know, those wives and ladies from high families don't think much of us."

Boss Xiong said: "When these women leave the house, what they say and do is usually ordered by the men at home, especially since she is new here, and she can't act rashly, so as not to spoil her man's arrangements. Therefore, if she acts like this, either, It's because Mrs. Jia didn't take us seriously and didn't tell her; or, it's because she already knew Mrs. Jia's plan, so naturally she didn't need to make excuses."

Jiao Hong thought for a while and said: "This kind of superficially shrewd person may not be so smart, but just looks like a bluff. Thinking about it this way, her man must have taught her."

Boss Xiong embraced Jiao Hong and said, "How did she know that a smart woman has to be like you, little SAO."

Sister Feng was also at home and told Jia Lian about the banquet: "I guess it's testing your attitude. I thought, anyway, my attitude is here first, and they guess how they like. If you plan to start from this bear It's also easy for the boss to start here, just lie to him first, because the woman in the family is ignorant and it's over.

It is difficult to distinguish between the false and the real when it is fake. "

Jia Lian smiled and said, "You're right, don't think about such bad things, and take a good rest."

Although Sister Feng is smart, she has never experienced any dark things, and Jia Lian doesn't want her to worry about it now.Boss Xiong wanted to use it, but he couldn't use it like this.

Although Sister Feng has tried her best to take care of herself this day, she still feels tired. She leans against Jia Lian's arms and yawns non-stop. Jia Lian coaxes, "Go and sleep for a while? I'll call you again at dinner?"

Sister Feng didn't want to move, she hugged Jia Lian and nodded casually, Jia Lian smiled and picked her up, put her on the bed gently, kissed her forehead: "Good girl, go to sleep."

Mrs. Zhang was playing with sister Qiao outside. Jia Lian saw the ceremony and said with a smile, "I have worked hard today, mother-in-law. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to rest assured."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "She is my daughter, so I don't need you to thank me." Then she looked inside and said, "Sleeping?"

"Yes, I think she is very tired today, let her sleep first, and call her after dinner."

Sister Qiao hugged Jia Lian's leg: "Where's my brother? Are you asleep too?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Yes, your brother was tired all day in mother's belly, and now he is sleeping with mother."

Sister Qiao shook her head: "It's still too lazy, this can't be done, I will teach him well later."

Zhang Shi laughed and said, "Oh? How are you going to teach him?"

Sister Qiao said solemnly: "Teach him not to sleep too much during the day first. Mother is already lazy enough, and my younger brother will be lazy too. If word spreads, others should laugh at our family."
