The Red Chamber is not a dream

【Chapter 130】Let's talk freely because of nostalgia and resentment.

Let's say that Mrs. Wang ordered those women to be called, and asked them what happened yesterday, and they all said, "I never saw it, but Qingwen said that someone jumped off the wall." Zhou Rui's family stood behind Mrs. Wang, only to that The mother-in-law winked; the mother-in-law understood, and said: "I want to teach my wife to know, we all saw the truth, there are no human footprints under the wall; if someone really jumped off the wall, wouldn't there be no footprints?" What? It's just that he said he saw it alone, and there is no circumstantial evidence."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't help feeling suspicious, and said, "You guys go back." Then Zhou Rui's family called some little girls in Baoyu's room to interrogate them. Those little girls didn't go through anything before. After being frightened by a few words from Zhou Rui's family, his liver and gallbladder were already torn apart. There was another one who taught Qingwen to beat and scold him on weekdays. He secretly held a grudge and said, "I only saw Qingwen's sister go out, but I didn't see the second master go out." It's just that Qingwen's sister ran in in a panic and said someone was there, so she bluffed the second master."

Mrs. Wang was secretly angry when she heard the words, but she still didn't show it on her face, so she asked, "What's your name?" The little girl kowtowed and said, "It's called Zhui'er." "Can you see clearly? Besides you, who else was there that day?" Zhui'er said: "I was serving outside, so I can see the truth. The second master never went out. There are also people outside Si'er joined Xiaoyan, but it was late at that time, I'm afraid they both fell asleep and couldn't see the truth." Mrs. Wang instructed Si'er and Xiaoyan to come, and sure enough, one said that he was asleep, and the other said that he was looking for something there. appear.Seeing this, Mrs. Wang taught them all to go back.Zhou Rui's family saw him going out, so they said to Mrs. Wang: "In my opinion, they dare not lie, and Kuang has no time to collude. It is really because Qingwen has a suspicion with those who went to the night, that's why it happened." If you want to kill a few of them, you don't have to scare the second master."

Mrs. Wang knew that Baoyu was most afraid of reading and writing, and she also knew that Jia Zheng had been rigorously investigating recently, so she guessed eight points, and thought to herself, "I'm afraid Baoyu didn't bluff, but I was just afraid that the master would ask him to read; Is it a real illness or a fake illness, or it is serious to teach him to rest for a few days. That girl will lose her hair, and it will not be on this day." Yin said: "That's all, you teach people to let them go. If you only care Detaining people will teach people that we are too strict, so be careful in the future." Although Zhou Rui's family saw that Qingwen had not been punished, they finally freed those people, so they complied and agreed. , from the outside to tell.

If Baoyu spent a few days in the room, he only said that he was frightened, but secretly worked hard to write the article, and that day he took it to Jia Zheng for reading.When Jia Zheng saw that he was about to write it, it was all right. When he read it, although he felt that there was still something wrong, it seemed to be better than the previous day; So I didn't reprimand him too much, but after a few criticisms, I taught him back.Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but went to the room by himself, no problem.

Let's talk about Mrs. Xing's side.When I heard what Aunt Zhao had done before, I couldn't help gnashing my teeth with hatred. Although I saw her death, I still couldn't calm down the anger in my heart, and thought to myself: "It's not a pity for this bitch to die. If I hurt my brothers and sisters, then I will die." Even if I cut him into pieces, it will be hard to solve the hatred in my heart." Because he thought again: "Huan'er Suxi is also a hateful person, but I want to fear that he will find out about this and regenerate hatred; although I teach everyone to strictly keep the news Aunt Zhao has many women and maids, and it is inevitable that none of them will let the wind out; but we must prevent him from harming himself."

So Mrs. Xing thought about it for a while, but she was still worried, because she thought again: "I was going to punish him, but now I am strictly guarding all around; besides, if I really did this, wouldn't I be like that bitch? That's why It doesn't work." Therefore, there is no other plan, so I have to.That day, he looked for an opportunity and said to Sister Feng: "The seeds raised by Aunt Zhao may not be good. If you are studying with him now, you should be careful; don't be alone with him when you are free." Sister Feng heard the words. She took it very seriously, and said: "I have always seen that Brother Huan is a bit inappropriate. Now that Aunt Zhao is dead again, if we let him hear something vaguely, it may be bad for us." Mrs. Xing said: "Exactly. .As the saying goes, 'People don't hurt the tiger's mind, but the tiger hurts the heart'; although he is not big now, he is not small, so we have to be more careful; it's just not the way to grow, so we have to think about it."

So after the two mothers finished talking, Sister Feng went to the room by herself, and after thinking about it again, she saw Jia Ruo coming here, waited for him to salute herself, then hugged him and said, "Brother Ruo, I have something to tell you, you must listen to me, and don't tell others." Seeing him nodding, he said: "When you see Huan'er in the future, if you are alone with him, you must go somewhere else It's all right if someone follows, but you can't join him too much." Seeing him nodding, he wondered, "You don't ask why?" Jia Ruo laughed and said, "Mother has orders, and children obey them. Why ask more? Kuang mother It must be for my own good. If the reason is true, then of course I told it to me; now I don’t tell it to me, because I’m too young to understand it even if I listen to it.” Sister Feng laughed when he heard him say that. He said, "You are talking about children, but you understand it better than me." So the mother and son talked and laughed once, and there was nothing else to say.

Before I knew it, it was several days.That day, Li Wan was in charge of the affairs at home, and Qia Lin Zhixiao's family had something to say, but he didn't leave, just gossiping; Li Wan knew that he must have something to say, so he didn't speak, and treated himself He will come out, so he will gossip back and forth, just waiting to hear what he will say.

Because Lin Zhixiao's family was thinking about the matter that Lin Zhixiao said that day that the family was short of money, they wanted to find an opportunity to talk about it, and they also needed to discuss it; but now Sister Feng doesn't care, Tanchun is recently sick, and Mrs. Wang is also on the body. Unfortunately, Li Wan was extremely busy every day, so he never found an opportunity.Just coming this way this day, he slowly led the conversation to the difficulties of the family. First, he said that the current income is decreasing day by day, and then he said that the expenses in the mansion are too high. Seeing that Li Wan also followed suit, he said: "Now the family is too crowded. Grandma might as well go back to the wife on a free day, discuss with the old lady and master, and cut down the family members."

When Li Wan heard that he was talking about this, he felt relieved, and said, "It's the same thing. Because there are too many people, it costs a lot of money. I'll go back to my wife some other day." Lin Zhixiao's family looked at him. With a look on Li Wan's face, he said those words that Lin Zhixiao had instructed, and said with a smile: "Now it's not the same as it was then, and all the subordinates should be more frugal, and they must be wronged." Li Wan nodded in response.When Lin Zhixiao's family saw that he had listened, they felt relieved, so they got up and said goodbye.

But Li Wan waited for Lin Zhixiao to leave, and after thinking for a long time, he secretly said: "The income is actually less than before. If you don't save money, you will be in trouble in the future. Since he mentioned this matter today, he has to go back to his wife's " He thought again: "It's not appropriate for one person to talk about this matter, and another one must be called." If you think about it, you will go to find Sister Feng first and talk to him; Sister Feng will resign after hearing this No, the second one also felt that it was reasonable, so he went to Mrs. Wang with him.

When they arrived at Mrs. Wang's place, they reported their intentions, and Li Wan told Mrs. Wang one by one what Lin Zhixiao's family had said.Mrs. Wang heard the words, pondered for a while, and then said: "Our family may have those old family members who have worked hard before. If they are not needed now, it is a good thing to let some of them go out. Not only are they at ease, but we also You can save some; let’s forget about the rest.” Yin asked him what the two of them would think.Then Sister Feng said: "Some girls in the family are getting older, and there are many young servants who have never been married, so I can teach them to go out; it's just that in the past, the girls were reluctant to part with fear of being cut off suddenly, so they kept hanging around; Look at it."

Mrs. Wang heard the words, but sighed: "You say that too. It's just that the girls in our family are too pitiful now; every day when your sister Lin comes here, several girls follow - that's all, he originally He is of high class, and your younger sisters are incomparable to him. But when his mother is at home, I have seen how precious he is. Now there are not many people serving your younger sisters. If you want to cut leather, it will be inevitable. If people can't bear it, if Mrs. Kuang listens, she won't. But Baoyu is getting old now and going to school again, so he doesn't need so many people to serve him, so I'd better cut a few from his room."

When Sister Feng and Li Wan heard this, they knew that Mrs. Wang had already made up her mind, so they didn't want to say more, so they should have retreated.Seeing that the two of them had gone, Mrs. Wang thought to herself in the room: "I have become more and more short-spirited in the past few years, and there may be things I can't take care of. If I can't keep them, some people will make trouble. Now let's call Baoyu's mother a few times." Come on, ask them first, and then go to Baoyu's room to check." Thinking so, he ordered someone to call the woman in Baoyu courtyard to ask questions.

Those women had warned Mrs. Wang the day before yesterday, and they all complained and complained about this innocent disaster. Because they knew that it was Qingwen who caused this matter, they couldn't help secretly hating him to the bone; People came and called, but they didn't know what it was, so they came here with their hearts.Mrs. Wang saw him a few times, and asked about the situation of the people in Baoyu's room; those women didn't ask Mrs. Wang what happened the day before, so they were relieved, and then they complained again and again. .Because she knew that Mrs. Wang valued Xiren, and that Xiren was gentle and quiet, and had never offended him, so she said a few good things about him.Others, whether there is something wrong here, or there is something wrong there, they will add oil and vinegar and say it out; I just don't know what Mrs. Wang thinks when she hears this, I may see you next time.
