Rebirth of the Zhang family in the Red Chamber

Zhang Wenxi stood up quickly from the bed, put on her clothes and was about to go out, Liu hurriedly grabbed her husband, "Husband, it's so late, where are you going?"

"I'll go ask Yingzhe, that kid is so far away from home, I didn't reprimand him, he is finally willing to come back, and even brought back such a kid, I have to ask him carefully"

When Mrs. Liu heard what her husband said, she was very angry and funny, and in desperation, she quickly got out of bed and stopped her husband, "Husband, why are you scolding Zhe'er, brother Lin is his senior brother, passing by the capital, can you not invite people to our house?" up?"

Zhang Wenxi sat back on the bed angrily. Hearing what his wife said, although he understood the truth, but letting him know that someone was plotting against his precious daughter, not only could he not be driven away, but he would also be warmly entertained. "Then I'll go talk to that kid, don't worry about anything, let him visit his father tomorrow, and hurry back to Gusu. Anyway, he doesn't take the imperial examination route, so it's fine to stay in the capital. It's better to go back as soon as possible." good home”

As expected of father and son, what Zhang Wenxi and Yingzhe thought of was to drive Lin Yuan away quickly.Mrs. Liu saw that her husband was going out again, so she still wanted to find her elder brother Lin, and even thought about driving him away tomorrow, so she put her hands on her husband's shoulders, pressed him back on the bed and continued to sit, "Husband, don't you look at it?" What time is this? You guys have been drinking at night, and the children must be asleep. Are you going to make trouble for them? You are a guest, how can we do such a disrespectful thing? "

Zhang Wenxi couldn't go out in the end, but he was always upset, tossing and turning on the bed, all he could think about was that his baby was going to be taken away by the weasel, and when he thought about it, he couldn't close his eyes in pain.

Seeing her husband tossing and turning but not sleeping, she kept moaning and sighing, and occasionally gritted her teeth and muttered indignantly. If she didn't know that it was because he didn't want his daughter to marry and leave, she would have thought that her husband had encountered some serious problem. It's an event.

But for Zhang's father and son, they couldn't leave their daughter and sister at home to raise them for a lifetime. This was the biggest problem they encountered.

"Husband, please rest early, you have to go to court tomorrow." Finally, Liu could not bear it anymore and persuaded her husband.

"Oh, ma'am, when I think that Zhi'er is going to leave us and become someone else's family, I feel uncomfortable, especially when there is a weasel living in the house, how can I sleep?" Zhang Wenxi sat up again, leaning on her On the edge of the bed, depressed and unhappy.

Liu thought that if Zhi'er was not her own, and she was not a daughter whom she loved very much, she would definitely feel sad and uncomfortable with her husband's attitude. Those candidates were all eliminated by you one by one, and I didn't care, after all, Zhi'er was still young, and she was not in a hurry. But before I noticed, Zhi'er had grown up so much, this candidate must be carefully considered, otherwise it will be delayed like this , until Zhi'er and Ji, when Zhi'er reaches the age where he has to see each other, are they going to be arrested in the capital?"

Zhang Wenxi also knew what his wife said was right. Zhi'er was already thirteen, and those people in the capital who were about to make trouble began to have their daughter's ideas again. He couldn't keep Zhi'er from marrying her. she.

Thinking about my daughter's temperament, she likes a leisurely and comfortable life, likes reading books, playing the piano and dispensing medicine, likes to lazily enjoy delicious food, likes to chat with her family, and likes to live a relaxed and comfortable life.

Daughter hates trouble the most. As she grows up, there will definitely be many people who want to get married to her, so there will definitely be no leisure time between now and before her daughter settles down.

Thinking of this, I seem to have seen the distressed expression of my daughter, and the unhappy expression of her pouting her mouth. Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is better to choose a good candidate as soon as possible and decide for her daughter.

Having settled down does not mean that the daughter will leave home immediately. The daughter is still young and has not yet reached the age. It is okay to stay for a few more years.

But don’t think about that kid from the Lin family. He doesn’t want to marry his daughter to Gusu. Like before, it took me a long time to see my daughter.

If you marry in the capital, even if your daughter is embarrassed to go home all the time, he can come by himself, it is better than seeing more after marrying out of town.

"Well, when I come back, I will screen the suitable young talents in the capital again."

Mrs. Liu has no hope for those young masters in the capital. The family doesn't want their daughters to marry those who will get involved in the future, but these families in the capital don't want to get involved unless there is someone in the family like The wise and experienced backbone of their family's old man is in charge of the family's rudder, or else they belong to a small family, and they can't get involved in the event of seizing the heir.

The first type of family is hard to find, and the second type of family is absolutely impossible. How can such a small family be worthy of her precious daughter.Except for these two kinds of families, the others who have outstanding children are all important officials in the court. Now they can see that their behavior has begun to favor a certain prince, and it must not be possible.There is no bias, marrying the eldest son to be a clan wife is too tiring, there are too many troubles, those big families, there are too many disturbances inside, their Zhang family does not have so many messy things, it has always been very quiet, and the daughter has a simple mind It's clean, not for a house with a lot of things to do.

Besides, the capital city has been too extravagant these years. The houses of the children of the big family are full of concubines and pretty maids. No matter, this kind of girl looks like a backup concubine.

Compared with the current prevailing atmosphere in central Beijing, many aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River still maintain those noble rules, just like the rule of the Lin family that they can only accept concubines if they have no heirs in their [-]s.

In fact, if Zhi'er married into the Liu family or the Song family, she would feel more at ease.It's a pity that she and her sister-in-law are the youngest children in the family, and they are a little older than her brothers, and Zhi'er is her youngest child, which makes Zhi'er and her cousins ​​too far behind, and they are not suitable .

She has been married to Zhang Wenxi for so many years, she can guess what is in his heart, she knows that he is not willing to let his daughter marry far away, thinking that he can see his daughter often after she is married, of course she also wants to see her daughter often , but compared with their daughter's happiness, their longing is acceptable and tolerable.

"Husband, I think the brother of the Lin family is not bad. You can talk to your father and uncle tomorrow about Zhi'er. The old man of the Lin family and his father are good friends. The father knows the situation of the Lin family best. It is up to the father whether it is suitable or not." You have the right to speak. No matter how much you think about it now, it’s not up to the father to make up his mind about Zhi’er, so let’s talk about it after asking his father’s opinion.”

Zhang Wenxi sighed when he thought of his father. He was obviously his sweetheart. His father had no ability to give birth to a daughter, so he robbed him. It's a pity that Zhi'er is so old, and he has nothing to argue about with his daughter. past father.

Zhang Wenxi fell asleep depressed. There is an old man in the Liu family, so she doesn't have to worry about it. The old man loves Zhi'er so much. No matter what the result is, it is for Zhi'er's good anyway. She just waits for the old man's decision.

Yingrui returned to her yard, her son Mo'er had been put to sleep by his wife, who was holding a book and reading it under the lamp. The warm candlelight shone on her body, making her full of maternal love due to pregnancy even more The warmth and heart-warming.

Yingrui stopped the maid's announcement and asked them to prepare the washing things. He walked behind his wife, took out the book in her hand, and when his wife turned to look at him, she said softly, "How many times have you said it? I'm inconvenient, I need to rest early, reading at night hurts my eyes, why don't you just listen, it seems that I'd better come back early to watch what you order in the future."

Listening to her husband's slightly reprimanded words, Fang was not at all unhappy, but very comfortable.She is the daughter of Fang Zhuyou, the head of the White Deer Academy. When Yingrui was studying in the White Deer Academy, she was good friends with Fang's elder brother. The head of the mountain also admired Yingrui very much. Fang also met Yingrui at home. At that time, I was a little cautious about this elegant and talented man in my heart. Later, when the two families discussed the marriage, my mother asked her opinion.

After marriage, the husband is very good, and the parents-in-law are also very good. The Zhang family is also a family with rules. The mother-in-law is not the kind of person who is unreasonable and will reward her son with a house. Even when she is pregnant, the mother-in-law did not ask her husband to marry her It is necessary to divide the room, but I just told them in private.As soon as she married in, although she didn't have the power over the house, her mother-in-law handed over all the affairs of their small courtyard to her to manage.

She understands that the mother-in-law does not hand over the housekeeping rights. After all, the mother-in-law has a son and a daughter who are not married, and she has to prepare the son's bride price and the daughter's dowry. These are not things that the elder sister-in-law can solve.

If there is any dissatisfaction, it is the people of the husband's family, who are really kind to my sister-in-law. Although she was the only daughter in the family when she was a girl at home, she was also favored by her family, but she was not like my sister-in-law. Whether it is father-in-law, husband or even grandfather, as long as they go out, no matter how far away they are, they will go shopping on Jingzhong Street, and they will never forget to buy things for sister-in-law, ranging from antique calligraphy and paintings, head jewelry, to clay figurines.

Her husband would forget to bring her things, but she would never forget her sister-in-law's things. She always thought that she was generous and never felt that she was small-hearted, but seeing the whole family doting on her sister-in-law every day, even the next door At the uncle's house, every few days, she would send things to my sister-in-law, and she couldn't help feeling sore and uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she was just upset in her heart and didn't show it.The little sister is very kind to her, and every time she gets something good, she always remembers to have someone give her a copy. When she has Mo'er, the little sister is even more kind to Mo'er. Sometimes she even feels ashamed as a mother .

Mo'er's sister-in-law prepared everything for him to eat, wear, and play, and they were all exquisite things. Some of them felt that it was too wasteful for children to use, but sister-in-law didn't feel bad at all. I gave it to my son.People treat her like this and treat her son like this, so why is she so psychologically unbalanced? Sincerity is exchanged for sincerity, and she also began to repay her sister-in-law with sincerity.

She should feel that her mind changed quickly, and her small thoughts were hidden well, otherwise she would not have such a happy life now.Since the relationship between her and her sister-in-law has become better and better, her husband has also become better and better to her. This kind of kindness really puts her in his heart and treats her as a family lover, not just in name for a responsible person. On the wife's good.

Just like she is pregnant now, no matter how late her husband comes back, he will come to see her. If she doesn't sleep, he will talk to her and ask her what she did today, whether she has morning sickness, whether she feels uncomfortable, Then rest together, if there is something uncomfortable at night, the husband will not call the girl, but take care of her by himself.

I think they were pregnant with Mo'er less than a year after they got married. At that time, when her husband came back late, someone sent a message that he was resting in the study, let alone stretching his legs, and he rarely even saw her.

Fang is very satisfied with her current life. She listens to whatever her husband says, but when it's time to wait, she will still wait.Fang took the towel from the maidservant's hand, and wiped her husband's face without pretending to be the maidservant's hand.

"Ma'am, is there anything wrong today? Do you still have morning sickness?" Yingrui pulled her to sit on his lap after his wife wiped his face, and put his hands on his wife's belly, wondering if there would be something wrong inside? She is a soft and delicate daughter like a little sister.

Although her husband often let herself sit on his lap like this, saying that it was boudoir sex and there was nothing to be ashamed of, but she couldn't help but blushed, noticing that all the serving maids in the room had withdrawn, By the way, she closed the door of the room for them, and Fang felt a little better. Hearing her husband's question, she lifted her blushing face and replied, "Yesterday my sister sent a jar of sour plums that she pickled herself. After eating I haven’t vomited anymore, the second brother came back today, he was only focused on delivering things to the second brother, and I haven’t had time to thank my sister, so I must thank my sister well tomorrow.”

Yingrui heard from his wife that his younger sister had given plums, and knowing that the younger sister made the offer, then there is no problem.Thinking of the little sister's well-being, and thinking about how soon, at some point, the little sister will no longer belong to her family, and her face, which was still sunny just now, turned dark.
