After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian happened to be busy with the tasks that Jia Amnesty had given her today, so she had a rare leisurely time, so she lay on the couch and watched Sister Feng meet the steward's daughter-in-law and deal with family affairs.The more he looked at her, the more he felt that his daughter-in-law was pretty, and he wished he could hold her in his arms and kiss her.

But I don't know when, Sister Feng began to treat him indifferently, and no longer cared about him fooling around outside.

What's even more frightening is that a few days ago, she couldn't help hooking up with a second-class maid, and she happened to be caught by Sister Feng.

At that time, both Jia Lian and the maid were shocked out of their wits.Jia Lian was so frightened that he wilted away, breaking out in a cold sweat.

——Who is Wang Xifeng?It is notorious for not rubbing sand in the eyes.The dowry maids she brought with her when she married, except for Ping'er who was cautious and didn't like to let Jia Lian in, the rest went to fend for themselves.

"Second Mistress, spare my life, Second Mistress, please spare my life. This servant will never dare again, never again!" That girl was also clever, knowing that Jia Lian was unreliable, she knelt down at Sister Feng's feet with a "plop", and kept kowtowing for mercy.

But after the initial embarrassment, Jia Lian was able to hold up his face and tie back the clothes he had just torn apart as if nothing had happened.

He was already prepared that this maid would be dealt with by Sister Feng.

But who knows, Sister Feng didn't show any anger at all, she just asked the maid: "Have you got him?"

The servant girl nodded slightly with a pale face.

"Since the second master has accepted you, I will pack up later and move to the West Wing." Sister Feng said lightly, then sneered again, and said to the maid, "I was still thinking, If you are not succeeded by him, he will find you a good wife. Now it seems that you are doomed. You see, something happened, and he refused to even say a word of protection for you. You follow him and try to What?"

The servant girl lowered her head, bit her lip, and said in a low voice, "Thank you Second Mistress."

However, Jia Lian laughed and said: "The little one has offended the second grandma again. It is worth grandma's burying me like this. The front matter is in the hands of the man, and the affairs of the back house are in the care of the grandma. Naturally, this girl is also at the mercy of the grandma." disposal."

Sister Feng glanced at the girl who had just shown her joy, but now turned pale again, and smiled at Jia Lian: "Since the second master likes her, he just opened his face and made a room for her. Why do you have to be so sneaky? It seems that I am so intolerant."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Jia Lian couldn't help being surprised: "Why is grandma so virtuous all of a sudden?"

Sister Feng said angrily: "In these years, how many people outside the Second Master's family have provoked me? If I was really a bitch, I would have died of anger."

Jia Lian hurriedly apologized: "I said something wrong, grandma has a lot of adults, don't argue with me."

Sister Feng choked: "I can't care about it." She turned to hold Ping'er's hand, and said with a smile, "It's fine for the second master to make a newcomer, but here I want to give Ping'er a name. point."

Ping'er was startled, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, I..."

Sister Feng covered her mouth with her hand, and squinted at Jia Lian with a melodious voice! "Will the second master give this title, or not?"

Her eyes were sparkling, rippling like water waves.When Jia Lian was stared at by her like this, he felt that his bones were lightened a little bit, and there was nothing he could not agree to: "I listen to grandma, what grandma says is what she says?"

"That's good," Sister Feng said, "I'll go back to my wife later, and I'll set up the wine formally, and Liping will be my aunt."

!

"Okay, just listen to grandma." Jia Lian leaned forward with a greedy face, "Grandma..."

Unexpectedly, Sister Feng dodged and avoided, and raised her voice: "Second master should stay to appease the newcomers, I'm Heping, I'll make room for Second master."

With that said, he really pulled Ping'er and left.

"Hey, grandma!" Jia Lian was furious, throwing his sleeves and scolded, "This hoof has aroused human nature, but she left!"

Seeing that Sister Feng had left, the servant girl was relieved, stood up, rubbed Jia Lian's winking eyes like silk, and said coquettishly, "Second Master, Second Mistress has left, so the servant is still here."

"Go, go, I'm bothered!"

"Second Master~" the maid staggered and yelled unwillingly after being pushed.

Jia Lian waved his hand, like chasing flies: "Go, go, don't let me say it a third time."

This Sister Feng suddenly became virtuous, and Jia Lian was not only unhappy, but panicked.Just imagine: this tiger suddenly changed to a vegetarian diet, and everyone has to weigh it carefully.

Not only Jia Lian panicked, but Ping'er was also terrified.

After following Sister Feng out, after walking less than a hundred steps, she had quietly glanced at Sister Feng seven or eight times.

Sister Feng is not blind, how could she not notice it?

It was also because she treated Ping'er too harshly in the past.

She sighed, and said to Ping'er in a harmonious voice: "You don't have to worry about it, your grandma, I have figured it out. My reputation is ruined by shouting and killing all day long, but it can't stop you two. Lord, why bother to come here? From now on, I will let him go. There is no shortage of a few taels of silver for that month in the left and right mansions."

Ping'er took a closer look at her expression, and saw that she was really not at all reluctant, so he was relieved, but then said eagerly: "Then don't mention me. I would rather be a girl for grandma for the rest of my life."

Sister Feng glanced at her and said with a smile: "Silly girl, think about it, anyway, your second master is going to bring in new people in the future, and I can't bear to let others pass you in the future."

Ping'er's cheeks were as red as if she had applied rouge, and she shouted: "Grandma" was shy and shy, and couldn't say anything extra.

Seeing this, Sister Feng gave a "puchi" smile, and stretched out her hand to give her a hand: "Okay, let's go. I'll go back to my wife while I'm at it, and I'll serve you wine tomorrow. From now on, the people in this house When I see you, I have to call you Aunt Ping."

"Grandma, don't make fun of me, it's nothing to do with shadows."

"Why is there no shadow? Don't I give you grace now, your grandma?"

These words fell into Ping'er's ears, and only the four words "your grandma" remained in his mind.

She looked up at Sister Feng's slender back, suddenly pursed her lips into a smile, and trotted after her.

"Grandma, wait for me."

Although she didn't know why grandma suddenly figured it out, she was happy that grandma was no longer sad and angry because of the second master's non-scrupulous meat and vegetables.

Jia Lian has been waiting for Sister Feng to attack.

But until Ping'er became an aunt, and Caiping officially became a common room, there was no movement from Sister Feng's side, and she did what she should do every day, as if she didn't know that Jia Lian had provoked the girl.

Oh, the color screen is that girl that day.

All of Jia Lian's fears seemed to be due to his own overthinking and self-inflicted suffering.

He finally believed that Sister Feng had really learned virtuousness.

But Jia Lian found that he was not as happy as he imagined that this long-awaited event had become a reality.

Sister Feng didn't like to take care of him anymore, so he himself felt uncomfortable, and when he saw those pretty maids and coquettish women, he didn't feel itchy anymore.

This is really... He wanted to scold himself, so cheap!

For example, at this moment, Sister Feng was concentrating on handling family affairs, but he always wanted to tease her.Sister Feng became impatient at being harassed by him, she frowned and said, "I'm busy here, if Second Master is free, go and play with the color screen."

Jia Lian's face darkened, and after a while, he suppressed his anger and laughed, "Grandma is kicking me out."

Sister Feng glanced at him, but said nothing.But the meaning is obvious: Now that you can see it, why don't you get out?

Annoyed, Jia Lian threw up his sleeves and was about to leave, but he was unwilling and sat back again: "You are busy with your work, I will wait for a while."

Sister Feng frowned, and really stopped talking to him.

Two months ago, Sister Feng had a dream, a very real dream.

In the dream, Jia Lian not only secretly married the second wife behind her back, but also discussed with the second wife to wait for her to die so that the second wife could be righted.

This is how looking forward to her death!

At the end of the dream, she was indeed dead.After being divorced by Jia Lian, and when Jia's family affairs failed again, she died alone in the Prison Temple. Before she died, she didn't know whether her sister Qiao had escaped from the sea of ​​suffering.

She really likes Jia Lian, the first time she came to Jia's house to see this brother when she was a child, she liked it.

Otherwise, why can't she tolerate even one person?

But just because she likes it, she can't accept Jia Lian's unfeeling towards her.

After waking up from the dream, she secretly cried herself, determined to take her thoughts away from Jia Lian.

In the dream, only Ping'er was thinking about her.But Ping'er is a girl, and she was dragged out and sold long ago.In the end, I don't know what happened.

She hated, hated herself why didn't she have this dream earlier?

If she had had this dream earlier, she would have found a good husband's house for Ping'er. How could she be ruined by Jia Lianna's murder?

It was at this time that the mandarin ducks were found.

"Greetings to the second master and the second grandma." She intuitively felt that the atmosphere was a little inexplicably tense, and after recognizing the current situation in Rongguo Mansion, she didn't dare to make mistakes, so she lowered her head and greeted cautiously.

"It's Sister Yuanyang." Sister Feng signaled the woman who was working on the matter to wait for a while, and asked with a smile, "But what is the old lady's order?"

Yuanyang also smiled as if she had drunk two catties of honey water: "The old lady told the second master and second grandma to come over." She paused, and then took the initiative to say, "The elder master and the second master are also here."

Both the husband and wife were a little surprised: this mandarin duck was in front of them in the past, but it didn't have this attitude.It seemed that something must have happened that they didn't know about.Moreover, it was a good thing for their big house.

The two of them had a bottom line in their hearts, so they didn't hesitate.Sister Feng left Ping'er behind, and asked those who were in charge of the daughter-in-law to go back to Ping'er if they were in a hurry, and leave first if they were not in a hurry.

The two followed the mandarin ducks to Chunxi Hall, greeted the elders, and heard the old lady say: "Lian'er, I need you to come over for something."

Jia Lian replied with a smile: "Speak, old lady." But she didn't agree.

Mother Jia took a deep look at him, and saw that he didn't care about his playful smile, she couldn't help but secretly sighed: She can't control this big house at all.

But at the moment she is asking for others, no matter how unhappy she is in her heart, she has to be kind and pleasant: "Your second uncle found a marriage for your elder sister Yuanchun. It's a family in Jinling. It's just that from Jinling to the capital, you come back and forth. The journey is far away, so your sister Yuanchun will not be allowed to come back. What I mean is, the two of you went to Jinling to marry Yuanchun."

"So that's what happened." Jia Lian looked at Jia Amnesty first, saw his father nodding his head, and then responded with a smile, "As long as the old ancestor doesn't think his grandson is in trouble, what's the value of running?"

Seeing Jia Amnesty's statement, Sister Feng smiled and said, "This is a great thing. I just don't know how to prepare the dowry for the elder sister? Besides me and the second master, who else in the family will go to the wedding together? Good brother After all, he is big sister's brother, will he go or not?"

Originally, Mother Jia was reluctant to let Baoyu stay away, but what Sister Feng said was also reasonable. When Yuanchun married, it would be fine if her parents were not present. If her brothers were not present, it would be unreasonable.

Besides, Baoyu is not young anymore, seeing that Jia Amnesty will never take care of Baoyu too much, he will have to rely on himself in the future.How many days can this old woman live?

"Let Baoyu go together. Baoyu is the one who hurts the most in Yuanchun." Jia Mu turned her head and told Yuanyang, "Let Baoyu come to me after school, and I have something to tell him."

"Yes, old lady." Yuanyang obediently responded.

Mother Jia pondered for a moment: "As for the dowry, Yuan Chun is the eldest daughter of the Rongguo Mansion after all..."

"She's the eldest daughter of the second wife." Jia Amnesty doesn't show any affection now.

Jia Zheng secretly clenched his fists, thinking that Jia Amnesty was taking the opportunity to humiliate him.

Even Jia's mother choked for a moment, and said, "No matter what, Yuan Chun is the only prostitute in our family. If her dowry is shabby, what should I do with my younger sister?"

Jia She smiled, licked the molars with his tongue, and said casually: "You can give as much dowry as you want, anyway, although we still live together, we have already separated inside."

What he meant was obvious: the big house wouldn't pay a cent for Yuan Chun's dowry.

Sister Feng was busy smoothing things over: "Master, don't worry, the old lady loves eldest sister so much, the dowry is naturally prepared early in the morning, why should we worry about it?"

Inside and outside the words, it means the same thing as Jia Amnesty.

A smile flickered across the corners of Jia She's lips, and he apologized to Jia's mother neatly: "Mother atones, it's because the son is impatient."

Mother Jia choked so hard that her heart ached.

——This unfilial son, every time he calls her "mother", it must be a bad thing!

But it is also a fact that the two properties have already been separated. The first wife insisted on not paying the dowry, so the second wife had to arrange it herself.

It was only at this time that no one remembered that when Yuan Chun got married, she should first discuss it with her mother.

"Yuanyang, go and invite the second wife."

Hearing that her daughter was going to marry a petty official with no official status, Mrs. Wang naturally strongly objected: "Yuan Chun is the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, how can she marry a white body?"

"Second, don't you care about your wife?" Jia Amnesty looked at Jia Zheng coldly with his eyes like lightning.

Jia Zheng flinched subconsciously: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

He remembered that after Jia She showed such a look a few times before, he beat him up.

Jia She scolded: "Where is there any Duke's Mansion? The sage has already decreed that the plaque was changed in the mansion. Now, there is only the first-class general's mansion. What does your wife say about the Duke's Mansion? Is it because she is dissatisfied with the saint's decision?" ?”

Jia Zheng's lips twitched for a while, then turned around suddenly, and slapped Mrs. Wang severely: "Stupid woman, what nonsense are you talking about?"

The first-class general's mansion is naturally the first-class general's home, but the first-class general Jia She has only one daughter, Yingchun.

Jia Zheng was lax in other places, but he was extremely keen on the division of titles.

With this slap, he was extremely humiliated.

No matter how much Mrs. Wang made trouble, she could not change what Jia Zheng had already decided, so she could only reluctantly agree.

When denying Mr. Qi, she kept saying that it was for Yuan Chun's good, saying that Yuan Chun was her most beloved daughter, and she couldn't bear to marry her without even a royal order.

However, when discussing Yuan Chun's dowry, she changed her face again.

Firstly, the big house was asked to pay the dowry, but neither Jia She nor Sister Feng naturally refused.

Then, she missed Jia Mu's private room again.

Jia Amnesty doesn't care about Jia's mother's private house.The private house he inherited from his grandmother is definitely not comparable to what Jiamu has.

But he doesn't care, but it doesn't mean that Jia Lian and Sister Feng don't care either.

They believe that they are all descendants of Jia Mu, and they all have a share in the private money.

But how can Jia Mu agree?

In Mother Jia's heart, all her private money was reserved for her youngest son.Even if Jia Zheng doesn't use it, it should belong to Baoyu.

She doesn't want to, and the juniors can't force her.In the end, the dowry can only be paid by Erfang himself.

But Mrs. Wang herself is not willing to pay much, only three thousand.

At this time, it was time for Jia Amnesty to leave the factory.

"Three thousand? These are really relatives." Jia She despised Jia Zheng with a contemptuous look, and said in a ostentatious tone, "Although my Yingchun family has just started seeing each other, the Xing family has already prepared for her. A dowry of 5000 taels, yes. Lian’s daughter-in-law loves her sister so much, so she added another thousand. Yingchun, a concubine in my family, has a dowry of [-] taels, and Yuan Chun is still a prostitute. Tsk tsk!"

Although this "tsk tsk" has no practical meaning, it is really wonderful when used here.Jia Zheng's face turned red with embarrassment, and he reprimanded Mrs. Wang angrily, "Don't you love Yuan Chun the most? Just give her a little dowry?"

Mrs. Wang was also very wronged: "Master, you should also think about Baoyu. Baoyu hasn't married a wife yet."

When it comes to Baoyu, Jia Zheng also hesitates.Jia Zhu died young, and Baoyu was his only legitimate son, and he was clever and talented in poetry.

As for the concubine Jia Huan, he was subconsciously ignored by Jia Zheng.

But Jia Amnesty just wanted to make things difficult for them. He knew that they didn't want to give Yuan Chun much dowry, so how could he let them do so?

He raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "Anyway, Yuanchun married far away, even if people joked that her natal family gave me a small dowry, she was still in Jinling, and you couldn't hear it. So, don't worry about it."

This is a big truth, and Jia Zheng also thought so in his heart.

But with Jia Zheng's shameless temperament, this kind of thing can only be understood, not explained in words.Now that Jia Amnesty said it, he had exposed Jia Zheng's fig leaf, forcing him to buy a decent dowry for Yuan Chun to save his face.

In the end, he forced Mrs. Wang to hand over 5000 taels of silver to Sister Feng, and asked Sister Feng to buy a dowry for Yuanchun when she arrived in Jinling.

******

On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, just after the new year, Jia Lian and Sister Feng took Baoyu and went to Jinling by boat.

As for the power of the family, Sister Feng directly entrusted Mrs. Xing to Mrs. Xing, which frustrated Mrs. Wang's idea of ​​taking the opportunity to make up for the loss.

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth, while Mrs. Xing secretly sneered that when she first came in, she also took care of the house.But at that time, she was not familiar with the situation in the mansion, so she was tricked by the Wang family. Not only did she lose a lot of face, but she also gave Jia Mu an excuse to take away the housekeeping power.

Since then, she has never had a chance to be a housekeeper, and she has never had a chance to avenge her revenge.

Now...Feng Shui turns around, if she doesn't take the opportunity to show some color to Wang Shi, Wang Shi won't know how many eyes Prince Ma has!

Sister Feng and her party traveled smoothly, and after half a month, they arrived in Jinling.

Because the letter was delivered in advance, Yuan Chun ordered someone to wait at the pier early in the morning. When he arrived, he was welcomed into the old house.

When Yuanchun saw Sister Feng coming, he said hello in his heart.

Originally, she was thinking of sorting out the clansmen in Jinling for the elder, and politically dealing with those moths who failed to achieve success but failed to succeed, in exchange for more bargaining chips.

But now, the situation is different.Her aunt found a good marriage for her, and she no longer needed to rely on her uncle's strength.

But she is still the daughter of the Jia family after all, and she was taught by Jia's mother since she was a child to put the family first.Although she is disappointed with her parents now, she can't tolerate this kind of person who ruins the family's reputation.

Originally, she was worried that it was her mother who came, and it was not easy for her to make decisions about these things.Now that it is Sister Feng who is here, everything is easy to talk about.

Sister Feng is not only the head grandmother of the Jia family, but also the wife of the orthodox heir Jia Lian. It is really appropriate for her to take care of this matter.

Sister Feng didn't expect that after she came to Jinling, she hadn't arranged for her elder sister's wedding, but her elder sister would give her a big gift first.

After Qin Keqing's persuasion, Sister Feng understood that everything in the first-class general's mansion will belong to their husband and wife in the future, and she is the master.Sister Feng finally has a sense of domain, and she is no longer the same as before. Being a housekeeper thinks that she has taken advantage of it, and turns a blind eye to Mrs. Wang's misappropriation of public property.

She couldn't even tolerate Mrs. Wang, so how could she tolerate these clansmen far away in Jinling and ruin the reputation of Jia's family?

In that dream, the Jia family ended up in such a miserable situation, and these tribesmen also helped out by relying on the Ningrong Second Mansion to do things wrong.

This time, she absolutely did not want to end up like in her dream.She wants to protect her eldest sister and Ping'er, so that she will be safe for the rest of her life.

"I haven't been in Jinling for a long time, and I don't have a deeper foundation than them, so I have collected so much evidence for the time being. Just take a look, do you need to look for it?"

"Naturally it is useful." Sister Feng was grateful, and then she said angrily, these moths, the reputation of our Jia family in Jinling has been ruined by them! "

Originally, she thought that when preparing the dowry, some of the 5000 taels of silver would be missed.Now she can't wait to add a little more to Yuanchun.
