I am so embarrassed that my life is so good! [Red House]

Not to mention how ashamed and annoyed Mrs. Zhang was when she heard about it, Wang Xifeng had other plans in her heart after hearing what Jia Mu said and went back to think for two days.Jia Zhu is still useless now, lying on the bed every day, not to mention that she didn't take him seriously, even Jia Zheng and Jia Mu only came to see him a few times at the beginning, and later saw him There was really no possibility of standing up again, so he dropped his hand and stopped asking.

Now Jia's mother is staring at the girl from the Wang's family in Nan'an County, just wanting to say a good marriage for Baoyu. If it really does what Jia's mother wants, I'm afraid that all her years of hard work and sweat will be in vain.Although Jia Mu treats her well now, it is only because she can take care of the whole family and maintain a basic decency.In the future, as soon as Baoyu's daughter-in-law enters the door, won't they all make wedding clothes for her!

The more Wang Xifeng thought about it, the more chilling she felt. She glanced at the two screens carved from high-quality red sandalwood that Yuanyang brought with her in Jiamu's warehouse yesterday. Make her look like a fool.She wouldn't sit still and wait for that noble sister-in-law to come in.Baoyu wants to marry a wife, all right, then we have to see how her elder sister-in-law makes arrangements.

Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng called Feng'er and asked her to prepare two boxes of snacks, and the two went to Baoxia behind Rongxi Hall together.

Rongxitang originally lived in Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and others, but Jia Amnesty asked them to go back. They didn’t live there for long. Dafang’s family moved to the General’s Mansion, and the door plaque of “Zao Rongguo Duke’s Mansion” was removed. , Changed the word "Jia's Mansion".Jia Zheng was an outsider, and although Jia She and his family left, he was afraid of attracting the eyes of the officials, so he only vacated a room in the Baosha behind the Rongxi Hall, and the Rongxi Hall was vacant. .

Mrs. Wang has been detained in the small Buddhist hall since she was released from prison, eating fast and praying to Buddha day and night, except for Tanchun who occasionally came to see her, so Baoyu could still think of her.As for Jia Zhu, heh—who can forget about his wife and children, and only cares about pleasure, how could he remember his mother's confinement in the Buddhist hall?

Wang Xifeng came over rarely, and Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er, who were guarding the gate, hurried forward to salute and say hello.They were maids who had served Mrs. Wang since they were young. They were very respectable in the past, and the servants and maids in the family would call out "sister" respectfully when they saw them.However, once Mrs. Wang lost her power, everyone in the mansion was born with a pair of eyes of wealth and wealth, and they were used to being arrogant and demeaning. Those who served in Mrs. Wang's main room had connections and found ways to serve elsewhere, except for their sisters. The two remember their old kindness and have served Mrs. Wang so far.

"Grandma, please, how come grandma is free today?"

Jin Chuan'er cleverly went forward to salute and greet, seeing Feng'er who was following Wang Xifeng still carrying a food box, she quickly winked at Yu Chuan'er, Yu Chuan'er quickly took the food box, and opened the door with a smile.

The Buddhist hall where Mrs. Wang is located has long been out of interest. If Wang Xifeng was not willing to distribute moon silver to them, this life would only be more sad.Therefore, seeing that Wang Xifeng was different today and was about to leave after just meeting each other, Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er knew that Wang Xifeng had come to find Mrs. Wang on something.Both of them were the sons of the family who had served in Jia's mansion for many years. They looked at each other, then bowed their heads respectfully to welcome Wang Xifeng in.

"That's great."

In the quiet small Buddhist hall stands a Buddhist niche, and in front of the niche is a half-new futon.Mrs. Wang is kneeling on the futon and reciting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice at the moment, the afternoon sun shines through the window lattice, coating the altar with a hazy yellow.

If she didn't know the true face of Mrs. Wang, even Wang Xifeng would have to admit that Mrs. Wang, who was kneeling on the futon and concentrating on reciting scriptures, was really a devout believer.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't pay attention to her, Wang Xifeng didn't feel annoyed, and turned around and sat on the kang beside her.Although the kang table is small, it is well organized.Wang Xifeng tapped the kang table twice with her fingers, and said with a smile: "Madam's place is really clean, it's very noisy outside, I'm so busy that I'm dizzy all day long, Madam will enjoy it."

Mrs. Wang paused for a moment in moving the prayer beads, and soon resumed chanting scriptures, but her slightly trembling eyelids showed that her heart was not as calm as she appeared on the outside.Jin Chuan'er boiled hot water, and made tea from the tea leaves sent by Wang Xifeng after the year.Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't speak, she could only say softly: "Grandma, please have some tea."

Wang Xifeng smiled and boasted: "I'm sorry for you, Mrs. Weidao has always valued you." Even though he said so, he didn't touch the cup of tea, and just asked Jin Chuan'er with his chin in his mouth, "How many years have you been this year?" Years old?"

Jin Chuan'er smiled and said, "Sixteen."

Wang Xifeng asked her again: "Have you agreed?"

Jin Chuan'er blushed slightly, shook her head and said, "No."

"You are used to serving in the wife's house. If you want to let you go out to marry, I think the wife will not bear it. But I see that you are not too young, and the most precious things in the girl's house are these few years. Wait until the New Year's Eve Go, I will delay becoming an old girl." Wang Xifeng smiled gently, took Jin Chuan'er's hand and said: "I know you are the most honest child, but my wife has always been generous, so I must not bear to see you two sisters at such a young age. Such a green lamp ancient Buddha spent the rest of his life. Last month when your father and mother said hello to the old lady, they said they wanted to take you two out. The old lady just said that she wanted to ask your wife. I finally came here when I was free. Ask."

Speaking of Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er's age, which girl does not look forward to marrying a good family, so that she can have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Wang has long been rejected by the master and the old lady, and the whole family just thinks that there is no such person as her.Although the master never divorced his wife, he said "indifference" to Mrs. Wang.In the past, there were three girls who came to visit every now and then, but now even a sparrow is lazy to stay in their small Buddhist hall.If there is a chance to get out of this prison and gain the reputation of a loyal servant, why not do it!

Thinking of this, Jin Chuaner said with tears: "The old lady Dian does not dare to resign, but there must be someone around the wife to serve her. The two of us, sisters and I, have been working in the wife's house since we were young. If the wife doesn't call us Get out, we don't want to go anymore."

Mrs. Wang finally stopped moving the beads. She slowly opened her eyes, stared at the altar in front of her for a long time, and then slowly stood up.Even because I couldn't kneel for a long time, I staggered when I stood up, and it was difficult to straighten my knees.Jin Chuan'er was busy helping her up, Madam Wang just pushed her away, looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "You are the grandma of the housekeeper now, why do you have time to come to me to chat your teeth? The two sisters serve me for a while, and in the future I will naturally Find them a good family to marry, and you don't have to worry about it."

"I don't want to worry about it, but the old lady sent me over to ask. Ma'am, you are a person who eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism, but the two of them look at their young age, so don't delay their good youth. In the future, they will complain in their hearts, and the wife said yes no?"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er, and saw that they just lowered their heads slightly and did not speak, and she knew in her heart that after all, people would go or not stay.When he looked at Wang Xifeng again, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "I also know that the two of them are wronged to serve me here, and since they have a good place to go, you shouldn't be a good family for them if you think about being a master and a servant. Our maidservants from high-ranking families are usually pampered and pampered. Although they serve others, they are better educated than those girls from poor families. It is not easy for them to follow me. I have nothing to do for them. Since the old lady wants to get them, she naturally has plans."

As he spoke, he said to Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er, "You don't have to spend time with me. Since Grandma Zhu came to ask you, I won't keep you. Just go and earn a decent living in the future." It is also your own creation."

Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er hurriedly kowtowed their heads in thanks, with tears in their eyes, but a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was even more disheartened, and she just waved her hand to tell them to go out.Turning around and sitting on the other side of the kang, he snorted coldly and said: "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall. I am afraid that the two of them will not be able to work for you. Now this matter is all, let's just open the skylight." Tell the truth', why are you here, just say it straight."

"That's what Madam said." Wang Xifeng reached out and stroked her temples, smiling brightly. "You are my real aunt. Don't tell me that I, a niece, don't want to come to visit you? Although this small Buddhist hall is clean, I can't change my temperament after staying for a long time. Now the master spends his days with Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou is spinning around in the room, and the uncle can't get out of bed. The old lady only hopes that Baoyu will make progress, and the wife also has high hopes for him if she thinks about it?"

Mrs. Wang heard her mention Baoyu, and suddenly there was a wave in her silent eyes like stagnant water, "How is Baoyu?"

"Brother Bao will be fifteen after the new year, and he still looks childish. He plays with his sisters and sisters in the garden all day long. If the master asks him to ask questions, he will be naughty, and he will inevitably be angry. The master is going to beat him. According to the old lady's intention, she wants to make a kiss for brother Bao first. For one thing, people like us often have ancestors' affection, so we should walk around more affectionately after talking about kissing. Second, Brother Bao can also respect you in the future and learn some economics, the master will feel at ease when he sees it, which is also very beneficial to Brother Bao."

"I'm young, and I've never taken care of such things. The old lady praised me and asked me to see Brother Bao. Who do you think I can meet? I don't have a royal order, and I don't go out every day. Walk around. The relatives in the family are not well recognized, even the relatives of our Wang family, I still don’t recognize them well.”

Wang Xifeng said, then smiled again: "So I came to ask my aunt for an idea. Brother Bao is the most intelligent and dexterous person. If I make a kiss for him, I'm afraid he won't like it. Later, there was resentment in my heart, and we The sisters are not familiar with each other. But what kind of insights does my aunt have over the years, or is there someone who happens to be there?"

After hearing her words, Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment.

Since she committed a crime back then, she may have been locked up in this small Buddhist hall for three or four years.Unexpectedly, Baoyu has reached the age of marriage.The old lady had such a plan, and it was also for Baoyu's sake.I just hate how much of her private house money and property have been confiscated, and the remaining good things in the private treasury may have entered Wang Xifeng's pocket long ago.Now even if she has the heart, she is powerless to be afraid.

Mrs. Wang was feeling sorry for herself, but she thought that Wang Xifeng was not the kind of person who likes to come to show off.Now that she has come, she must have a reason for thinking about it. She hurriedly put away the grievances in her heart, and only looked at Wang Xifeng and asked lightly: "Baoyu has been gentle and caring to girls since she was a child. When Baoyu was in our house in the past, , I see that they have a good relationship. It's a pity that there is no fate in the end, and this is everyone's luck. Now that Baoyu is getting older, maybe he has an idea in his own heart. If you ask me, you might as well ask him."

"My wife is confused. I went to ask brother Bao, so I wouldn't be ashamed of him. Besides, the maids serving in his house look good to me, and I want to take the house for him, but I'm afraid. The main wife has never been in the house, and it hinders the eyes of others." Wang Xifeng laughed again "giggling", "Although the wife has left the house for a long time, she is still the mistress of the board of directors for many years. After all, we have to let the wife take a look at the banquet guests at home. Look at it. I will go to the old lady to make peace, and the wife can only wait for a few days, and there will be good news."

After all, regardless of Mrs. Wang's reaction, she just left.Mrs. Wang was left alone on the kang, staring blankly at the cup of tea on the kang table that was so cold that there was no trace of heat.

I don't know how Wang Xifeng persuaded Jia's mother. Two days later, Jia's mother ordered someone to call Mrs. Wang to the upper room to explain, and then said in front of Jia Zheng: "Now the children are all grown up. Now, as parents, you should pay more attention to them. Everything has passed in the past, and you can learn from it in the future and don’t do it again.”

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang agreed again and again.Wang Xifeng said with a smile on the side: "It's good now. With my wife taking care of me, the old lady will definitely be able to get what she wants. I'm not ashamed to ask about Baoyu's marriage. Wouldn't it be prudent to leave it to my wife now?"

Jia Mu glared at her, and said with a smile: "Your wife seldom asks questions these few years, and when you are more relaxed, you just push and throw the matter to her. There is no daughter-in-law like you. You should fight!"

Wang Xifeng said "Ouch" twice, lying on Jia Mu's lap and smiling coquettishly.

After Jia Zheng sat with him for a while, he felt a little impatient. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was wrinkled and wrinkled, she hadn't seen her for more than two years, and she seemed to be ten years older, and she felt even more displeased.I heard Jia Mu talking about Baoyu's homework today, and just heard Jia Mu laughing and praising him for his good memory, and he can remember many poems after reading it once.A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, Baoyu is now a 15-year-old adult, but his reading is not as good as that of a child.How could he know that Jia She's eldest grandson, Jia Xun, could memorize the "Book of Songs" backwards.

Thinking of it this way, I became even more impatient to sit for a long time, and resigned to Jiamu.

Jia Mu didn't stay any longer, she only thought that he still had business outside, and she just smiled and asked Yuanyang to take him out.Turning to Mrs. Wang, she said, "A few days ago, Princess Nan'an mentioned to me that she would like to invite the girls from our house to enjoy flowers at their house in May. I don't go to other people's houses very often, I'm afraid I'm going to be rude. Now that you are in good health, you should put on some energy. I'll spend 200 taels of silver here and ask someone with a good handicraft outside to make some new clothes for the girls. wear."

Mrs. Wang nodded in response, and Mother Jia sighed again: "Our family used to have needleworkers, but although their craftsmanship is good, it is not as fresh as the flowers outside. I don't care which shop, I called the tailor lady to give it to me. The girls cut two spring shirts and two summer shirts. If they look good in the second half of the year, I would ask them to come and order clothes for autumn and winter.”

Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "No, but I used to think that the shops outside were not as frugal as ours, so I didn't go shopping outside. Since the old lady said so, I will ask Lin Zhixiao's family to look outside. Let's see which one has the best clothes. It's just that the old lady can't be too partial, and only makes new clothes for the third younger sister, don't Baoyu and I have any?"

Jiamu nodded her nose, and said with a chuckle, "You, you are not forgiving at all. Now that I'm done, I'll take out 300 taels for you, for Baoyu, and for Lang Geer. Wouldn't it be nice to wear a new dress!"

Everyone laughed when they said it, and they went to the room to laugh and laugh. Although Mrs. Wang wanted to flatter her, she sat like an elm, because she was a little inflexible after staying in the Buddhist hall for a long time. Laughing with me.Jiamu looked at it twice, feeling lazy, and everyone chatted and laughed for a while before they dispersed.

In the middle of May, Grand Concubine Nan'an really sent someone to Jia's mansion to post a post.Not only the Tanchun sisters, but even Wang Xifeng took one.Jia Zheng and Baoyu were also invited. Baoyu was in high spirits, but Jia Zheng was impatient.Early the next morning, Wang Xifeng washed up and came to the upper room, served Jia Mu for breakfast, and saw Baoyu running in excitedly.

"Old Ancestor, do you think my body is okay?"

I saw him wearing a purple gold crown with hair inlaid on his head, Qi eyebrows strung with two dragons grabbing gold and wiping his forehead, wearing a two-color gold hundred butterfly wearing flowers and red arrow sleeves, tied with multicolored silk and knotted with long spikes The sash, the outer cover is azurite with flowers and eight groups of Japanese forged fringe jackets, and there are small green satin powder-soled court boots.She was so radiant and beautiful that she outshone all the girls in the room.

Tanchun, Muchun, Xichun, and Hanchun who came in behind him all smiled and greeted Jia's mother. Seeing Jia Baoyu's happy face, Tanchun covered his mouth and smiled, "Fortunately, the second brother was born a man. If I give birth to a daughter, I'm afraid I will complain about his frivolity."

"If that's the case, it also compares us all, doesn't it?"

After Tanchun and Muchun made fun of each other, Baoyu finally calmed down a bit, and sat down to talk to them with a smile.When Jia's mother finished her meal, she asked Wang Xifeng, "What time is it?"

"It's still more than an hour before we go out." Wang Xifeng served Jia Mu a cup of tea, smiled and stepped forward to squeeze her shoulders.

Not long after, when the door curtain was raised, Mrs. Wang came in dressed up.

She is already over fifty, and she has endured a lot of hardships in prison. In the past two years, she has been eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name to show her old age.Today she was wearing a silver-red flowered narrow jacket, a stone-blue short coat, and a stretch-ink bamboo-green satin skirt.Looking at it, she is dignified and restrained, quite a bit of the temperament of a former housewife.

Mother Jia looked at her carefully, seeing that she was well dressed today, she felt a little relieved, and after a few instructions, she asked Wang Xifeng to lead some girls to follow Mrs. Wang.

The girls sat in two cars, Baoyu rode alone, and the group arrived at Nan'an County Prince's Mansion soon.

Because the king of Nan'an County led troops to suppress the barbarians two years ago, the war has not stopped, and the barbarians are hard to get rid of. So far, they have not returned to the court with their troops.So for today's flower banquet, the male guests of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion are all managed by the prince's son of Nan'an County.This eldest son is only 21 or [-] years old, but he is also a person with long sleeves and good at dancing, and his speech and behavior are quite close to each other.In addition, he has a good relationship with King Beijing Shui Rong, and most of the people who come and go today are related to the Nan'an County Palace, Beijing Palace, Xining County Palace, and Dongping Palace, so everyone flatters him, which makes him more impressive. We were good at management.

Jia Baoyu always loved to make friends with such a handsome man, so when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, and only called him "Senior Brother".

Huo An, the eldest son of Nan'an County, looked at him for a long time. Although he felt that this person was good-looking, he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he smiled and said: "Everyone who comes is a guest, please sit down first."

Just at this time, Wang Shuirong of Beijing entered the hall. Seeing that Baoyu and Huo An were exchanging greetings, he waved a folding fan and came forward to say hello. "Baoyu, why are you free to come here today? I got a fragmented score a few days ago, and I wanted to ask you to appreciate it, but you were not at home, and I couldn't find you for a while, so I had to give the fragmented score to someone else."

He had a smile on his face when he spoke, and his attitude was very intimate. Huo An couldn't help but look at Jia Baoyu more, and finally remembered, and exclaimed: "So you are the Baoyu who was born in the Rongguo mansion." !"

Under his astonishment, it was inevitable that his voice would be too loud, attracting the attention of many people.Most of you here have heard of this rumor, before it was just absurd, but now that you have seen the real person, you are inevitably a little curious, and you all gather to see what kind of precious jade it is.

Baoyu had no choice but to take down the psychic jade that was adorned under the golden jade necklace in front of his neck, and gave it to Shui Rong and Huo An to enjoy.Who would have thought that Huo An was the most lively person, and after reading it by himself, he handed the psychic gem to a gentleman beside him, passing it around one by one, Baoyu stretched his neck but also I can't see whose hand the son is holding that piece of jade at this moment.

Huo An saw that he was born beautiful and beautiful, and he liked him very much. He took Baoyu's hand and sat down at the main table. at.Seeing this, Shui Rong winked at an unremarkable man in the crowd, the man understood, took advantage of everyone else, reached out to take the psychic gem, and ran out sullenly in a blink of an eye.
