Rebirth of the Zhang family in the Red Chamber

It had snowed for several days and finally stopped. Although the air was still cold, it warmed up for no reason because of the sunshine pouring out.

Qing Zhi went to greet her mother, and had breakfast with her company. Under her mother's urging, she went back to her room and changed her clothes before going out to the Wang's house for the banquet.

Many people came to the plum blossom banquet of the Wang family that day, some of them really went for the prince, some went for the young lady of the Zhang family, some went for the young lady of other families, and of course some just brought relatives at home to expand their social circle.

Qing Zhi arrived neither early nor late, if it wasn't for the fact that she was the young lady of the Zhang family and many people came for her, then this timing was completely just right and definitely not eye-catching.

Mrs. Liu didn't come today, but the wives from the Zhang family's good friends did come. Qing Zhi went up to say hello, and then stayed and chatted quietly with the few girls she made good friends with.

There has always been no special process for this kind of flower viewing banquet, but when friends get together, under the leadership of the servants of the master's house, they will visit the garden scene opened by the master's house. Men and women are separated, but not completely. They are separated from each other, but divided into two places in the garden, with servants guarding the middle, so they are not afraid of appearing suddenly and breaking the rules.

This kind of arrangement has always been a necessary method for group blind dates among the upper classes.

There is a large plum grove in Wang's mansion, which is exquisitely decorated and small. There are many pavilions and warm pavilions where you can rest your feet and warm up. They are for girls. stay.

The shadowy numbers block most of the line of sight, but you can also vaguely see the figures of people passing by in the forest, and you can even faintly hear some voices discussing poetry and commenting on each other's poetry.

Qingzhi has also participated in some of this kind of blind date gatherings in the past few years. In fact, when the girl was seven or eight years old, she began to attend various gatherings with the elders of her family. This kind of gathering is indispensable, so not all the girls who come to participate are of marriageable age.

Those young girls are just taken by their families, first to gain knowledge, and second, to let other families see the upbringing of their own girls, and slowly get into the eyes of their wives. If they wait until the age for marriage, It's too late to bring it out to meet people.

When girls get together, they just talk about the brothers and sisters in the needlework and jewelry family, or when they get interested, they play some elegant games together. Just some unmarked trinkets that came.

"Sister Qing, last time you clearly agreed that you would invite me to your house in a few days, and that you would make me the kind of sachet you brought. I waited and waited at home, but I didn't see your invitation card. Come on, my sister is looking forward to it like this, sister, you must have forgotten, right?" Sun Mengru pouted and complained in a limp voice while pulling Qing Zhi's sleeve.

Seeing the little girl's loving expression, Qingzhi laughed, "Ru'er, how could my sister forget, but the last time I went to your house was only five days ago, and it has been snowing for the next few days, and it just cleared up today. Elder sister also thought that if I can’t meet you today, I will post a post to invite you tomorrow. It seems that there is no need to post this post, and you can come to my house tomorrow.”

Sun Mengru is the daughter of the Qing family in Dali Temple, and her father is a student of her grandfather. Ever since she returned to Beijing and met in the two families, the little girl has been attached to her. If she doesn't see her for a few days, she will quarrel with her mother, Take her to visit her own house, but although the little girl is a bit pampered, she has a rare straightforward temper, she has not been spoiled, but has always maintained her innocence and cuteness, being clinged to by such a little girl, Qingzhi has not made up her mind at all I'm bored, but I feel like spoiling my daughter.

"Well, little Ru'er, as soon as Sister Qing appears, we will be completely lost in your eyes. I have loved you for nothing in the past." Meng Shuya walked over from behind the two of them, bypassing Qing Zhi, Lightly tapped Sun Mengru's forehead with his finger, complaining seemingly injustice.

When Sun Mengru heard that Qingzhi asked her to go tomorrow, she just wanted to say, don't let tomorrow go, it's just today, and she can still sleep with her sister tonight. It was packed and put in the carriage.

Unexpectedly, she was interrupted by Meng Shuya. Ru'er was very unhappy. The little mouth she pouted at Qing Zhi just now was acting like a baby, but now she is really unhappy, so she kept clicking to avoid her. Hands, small head hid in Qingzhi's arms.

Zhao Xinrui, who was a step behind, stepped forward and stood next to Qing Zhi, just separated Meng Shuya, pulled Ru'er out of Qing Zhi's arms, saw that her little forehead was a little red, and rubbed it gently with her hand "Shu Ya, Ru'er is already a big girl, don't want to treat a child like you every time, tap her on the forehead, it's not good, I've told you so many times, I can't remember, be careful Ru'er is really angry, I will ignore you from now on"

Meng Shuya glanced at the warm and friendly Qing Zhi who was always smiling, Sun Mengru who had stopped pouting and stuck to Qing Zhi's side again, and Xin Rui who looked at them with a gentle smile, feeling extremely unwilling.

Obviously she is the best friend who grew up with the two of them, why since this Qingzhi returned to Beijing and joined their circle, whether it is sister Xinrui who tolerates her, or Ru'er who loves to follow her as a tail, Everything has changed, why is she so kind to Qing Zhi, those good things should belong to her, she is unwilling.

After lowering her head to hide the emotion in her eyes, Meng Shuya raised her head and said with a smile, "Sister Xinrui, don't miss me anymore. I promise to change this time. Who made Ru'er always have such an immature temper? Next time As long as she doesn't pout or act coquettishly, I will definitely not order her anymore, I promise"

Zhao Xinrui could see that what Shu Ya said was not right, and she sighed in her heart, if Shu Ya had been so disrespectful, if she had always been so vaguely hostile to Qing Zhi, with resentment in her heart, their friendship would not know how long it would last.

Think about when they were young, because of the relationship between their fathers, the family had a good relationship, and the three of them grew up together. At that time, there was no concept of identity. Someone accompanied them to play together, and shared little secrets together. They were very close to each other.

But when I grew up slowly, I realized that Shu Ya was actually not the daughter of Uncle Meng's family, but a daughter of a concubine. It was just that the daughter of Aunt Jiang's daughter died at a young age, and she took Shu Ya to be raised under her name. This is to soothe the pain of the bereaved daughter.

Knowing Shu Ya's identity, she and Ru'er were actually just a little shocked at the moment. Their relationship for so many years cannot be completely wiped out by their different identities. Besides, Shu Ya has already been recorded under Aunt Jiang's name. She is a concubine, and if it wasn't for her biological aunt who insisted on making trouble, no one would know that she is a concubine. Even if they know now, they are acquaintances, and the news has not spread.

Unexpectedly, it was Shu Ya herself who couldn't let go.From the day she got to know her concubine, Shu Ya has changed. She began to make friends with everyone around her deliberately, putting on airs all the time, lest others look down on her.

Xinrui didn't know why Shu Ya became like this. She was the only girl in the Meng family, and her aunt died a few years ago. It was obvious to all that Aunt Jiang loved her. Because of a few words from Auntie, she had suspicions in her heart.In the past few years, Aunt Jiang looked at her with more and more disappointed eyes, and the disappointment was also mixed with pain and dissatisfaction.

Later, when Qing Zhi came, she began to be jealous and even hostile to Qing Zhi.Shu Ya also began to be dissatisfied with her and Ru'er, she always thought that the two of them betrayed her and their friendship since they were young.

Seeing Shu Ya who was getting farther and farther away from them, it's not that she hasn't persuaded her, but every time she said a few words, Shu Ya would lose her temper and lose face. She is the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. All this anger, persuading her is just for the friendship of so many years, since she can't listen to it, then she can't help it.

Xinrui is still too young. Although she has been trained very well, her vision, identity and experience are all there. She will not understand the difference between a concubine and a concubine. Although she has a concubine sister, but because of the big age difference, she has not gotten along very well. , and her mother treated the concubine very generously, she basically had everything that the concubine had, and she didn't feel much difference.

In fact, it’s never those things that really make people feel the difference. It’s just the objects of the boudoir daughter’s household. How much is it worth? , What makes them feel the difference is the attitude, from the master to the slave.

Sometimes cold violence hurts more than direct punches.

Qingzhi understood that the reason for Meng Shuya's change was not because she wanted to change, but because of the people in Meng's mansion. Because of this news, her attitude towards her changed. Aunt Jiang still seemed to treat her so well, but she knew that she understood her When I was born, there was a barrier in my heart, I was afraid that she would be estranged from me, I was afraid that I would raise a white-eyed wolf, and I was afraid that the relationship between mother and daughter would be separated. This kind of fear is already a kind of barrier.

As the person involved, Shu Ya naturally felt the change of her aunt. Knowing the inside story, the servants treated her unconsciously with contempt. It is difficult for people to change the environment, and it is often the environment that changes people.

As a person who used to be the head of the house, Qingzhi naturally understands these things, but what's the matter?Everyone's fate is different. To say that fate is in one's own hands means that every decision a person makes and the subsequent changes are all in her own hands, and no one has the responsibility to escort her choices.

It is true that she is a cultivator, but she is only a cultivator, not a Bodhisattva, and has no obligation to save sentient beings. Even a Bodhisattva does not see her appearing to save the suffering people in this world.

Besides, she has always admitted that she is a combination of a villain and a woman, and has never been a saint. A person who is hostile to her, why should she save her, why?

Under Ru'er's coquettishness, Qing Zhi finally agreed to take her home today. When Ru'er happily took her hand and walked into the forest, she saw the head mistress of Jia's mansion, Jia Shishi, the old lady of the Jia family in the future.

Jia Shishi led a beautiful and smart but somewhat delicate girl into the Meilin slowly, Qing Zhi remembered that Jia She was 16 years old and Jia Zheng was 15 years old, this Jia Shishi should also come to pick a daughter-in-law today of.

The six or seven-year-old girl she is holding in her hand should be Jia Min. After Jia Shishi came out of the Buddhist hall, because Jia Wangshi was pregnant and weak, she regained her family rights and became pregnant again half a year later. .

When Jia Wang gave birth, she had dystocia and hemorrhage, and the child died shortly after birth, but she was rescued.Since then, he has been lingering on the sick bed, and he has long been disgusted by Jia Daishan, knowing that he seems to have died of illness two years ago.

In the eyes of others, there is no doubt about Jia Wangshi's death, but Qingzhi knows that it was all caused by Jia Shishi. Difficult childbirth, hemorrhage, child death, lingering sick bed and final death, all of Jia Wangshi's experiences It was all done by Jia Shishi. If she hadn't just come out, Jia Wangshi would have died, and people would criticize her.

Qing Zhi was very curious, after having such a deep estrangement with the Wang family, would Jia Shishi choose Mrs. Wang as Jia Zheng's wife like in the last life?

Looking at Mrs. Wang who was chatting with the young ladies of the Juegui family not far away, Qingzhi thought that she would still do it. Who would let the interest group of the four kings and eight males not easily disperse, and Wang Ziteng is the only one in the next generation of children? It's hard to make a difference, now that he has already shown his sharpness at such a young age, in the end, Jia Shishi, no, it should be Jia Daishan who will still choose the young lady of the Wang family.

However, I don't know which family Jia Amnesty will choose. In the past few years, Jia Shishi has been saying that her parents and sons are very weak, which makes her worry.

In fact, Jia Amnesty's health is very good, but it is because the old lady of the Jia family has been in poor health for the past few years. She is worried every day, and she is in a long-term uneasy mood. No family is willing to marry their prostitute daughter to such a sick child.

Qingzhi knew all about this, but she didn't intend to intervene anymore. With the advancement of her cultivation, she could already faintly feel that she was obsessed, and should still be related to Jia's mansion, but not the current Jia's mansion. It's about what the Jia's mansion will be more than ten years later, and she will know it later. Now she just wants to watch a play.
