Happy Life in the Red Chamber

Wang Xifeng was really sad this time, not only because of Jia Lian's stealing food, but also because of what Jia Lian said when she was in love with that maid.

The servant girl lamented Jia Lian's bad luck. She married Wang Xifeng, a rouge tiger mother, and even had to be secretive with him, saying when Wang Xifeng died.

Jia Lian replied: "She is dead, so what if you marry another one?" The maid blurted out: "She is dead, you can help Sister Ping'er upright, Sister Ping'er is a first-class good person .”

Jia Lian sighed: "Now even Ping'er doesn't ask me to take a dip, and Ping'er is too embarrassed to say anything..."

Wang Xifeng's lungs were about to explode, so she rushed in and tore Jia Lian at once.Jia Lian was annoyed by her beating, and pushed her aside, Wang Xifeng staggered to the corner of the table, clutched her stomach and fell down...

After Mingxi beat Jia Lian, he dragged him into the inner room. Wang Xifeng had already woken up and was weeping secretly. Ping'er knelt beside the bed, but she ignored her.

Mingxi said to Ping'er: "Go to my yard and tell Shu Zhi to cook a bowl of bird's nest porridge for Feng'er."

Ping'er responded with a low voice and backed out.Ming Xi patted Wang Xifeng: "I know you are uncomfortable, but I still have to say a few words to you, Jia Lian is mainly responsible for this matter today, but dare you say that you are not responsible?

I told you a long time ago that those shitty things don't matter, did you hear me? "

Jia Lian hurriedly echoed, "That's right, the one who treats me fiercely all day long is not gentle at all..."

Ming Xi glared at him: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb, so shut your mouth tightly!"

Jia Lian moved back with drooping head.

Wang Xifeng's tears flowed down: "I..."

Ming Xi cut her off: "You want to guard this house for Jia Lian, a bastard. You worked hard and put your own dowry in. What did you end up with? You got the name of a rouge tiger hag.

Are you stupid?This family is struggling to make ends meet. I told you a long time ago that a group of moths from top to bottom is destined to be a sign of decline.

The most stupid thing about you is not this, the most stupid thing about you is letting your maid step on you to gain a good reputation in the mansion.Did you hear what people said?I hope that you are dead, so that sister Ping'er can help you. "

Jia Lian hurriedly described: "Ping'er, she..."

Mingxi glanced at him lightly, and Jia Lian immediately shut up and dared not make a sound.

Ming Xi said to Wang Xifeng indifferently: "Did you see that? You still protect her until now. If you keep such a capable maidservant, you will soon have to abdicate your position as the second mistress."

Jia Lian raised her head sharply, and Wang Xifeng looked pained: "I have always regarded Ping'er as a real sister..."

Mingxi snorted: "Sisters? Sisters who serve the same husband? Or how could I say you are stupid? I will give you two ways now. [-]. Where does she go back and forth? Since you brought her from the Wang family Yes, send her back to the Wang family and give it to your aunt.

Second, she opened her face in a serious manner and became Jia Lian's aunt.In the future, it doesn't matter if you, master and servant, cut off all kindness and righteousness.Pinger, you came just in time, which of the two roads I gave you would you choose? "

Ping'er, who came in with a food box, knelt down with a plop: "Second Mistress, don't drive this servant away, this servant has long sworn to serve you forever..."

Wang Xifeng closed her eyes, Mingxi's words made her shudder, all these years she devoted herself to Ping'er and Jia Lian, but they all betrayed her...

Ming Xi said coolly: "If you don't want to leave, then you have to choose the second path, right? But being a concubine has to abide by the rules of being a concubine. If you are soft-hearted, Feng girl, then let me, a mother-in-law, teach her. Turn around Wait for the rules to be learned before sending them back.

Then let Miss Ping'er be wronged to be a rough servant girl in my yard.Shu Lan, I will leave Ping'er to you. Teach her well what is the most important thing about being a maid. "Shu Lan responded, and led Ping'er down who was wiping away her tears.

Ming Xi said to Wang Xifeng: "I don't think any of the maids in your yard are easy to use. It just happened that Shu Yue brought out four little maids. They were originally for Rui Rui, but now I will give them to you first. Shu Yue, you Go and call Ziyue and the others."

Not long after Shu Yue left, she came in with four little maids.These four little maids can only be called delicate in appearance, but their manners are first-class.

Ming Xi pointed to them and said to Wang Xifeng: "Ziyue, Ziyun, Zixia, and Ziwei, these four servant girls have very good manners, let them serve you by your side from now on.

It's not as good as Ping'er's eloquence, but he is cautious in his words and deeds, safe and honest.Ziyue, Second Grandma is pregnant, so she will take good care of her, remember? "

Ziyue led the three servant girls to answer, and after Mingxi left, Ziyue opened the food box, brought out the bird's nest, tested the temperature, and carefully fed Wang Xifeng half a bowl.

From then on, Wang Xifeng began to stay behind closed doors, concentrating on raising her baby in the yard.The four servant girls of Ziyue take care of her properly, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and compared with Ziyue and the others, Ping'er is not a little bit worse.

In the past, Ping'er always liked to make up her own mind, but now Ziyue and the others listen to her everywhere, and Mingxi told them to serve Wang Xifeng, but they didn't even know how to look at Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian came to see Wang Xifeng, she was treated like nothing by the maids, let alone verbally hooked up like Ping'er.

After Ming Xi took Ping'er back, he handed it over to Shu Yue to take care of her.Ping'er used to be by Wang Xifeng's side, she was a maid in name, but she lived like a young lady.I have never done rough and tiring work, and I am very pampered.

What she eats is delicacies from mountains and seas, what she wears is silk and satin, and the rouge and gouache she uses are the same as those of Wang Xifeng.Dress up brightly, and naturally look beautiful.

When you come to Mingxi's place, you don't have this kind of treatment. She can do whatever you want the servant girl to do, just hang out?It doesn't exist, I sweep the floor in the garden every day in the wind and sun, and it looks extra sweet when I eat after a tired day.

In just two months, Ping'er has changed from a fair, beautiful, charming little beauty to a mediocre maid.

Mingxi nodded in satisfaction, this is what a maid looks like.When paying her respects to the old lady, she talked about doing Ping'er's face as an aunt.

From then on, Ping'er became Jia Lian's aunt, known as Aunt Ping.

It is well known that Mingxi does not want to see Aunt Ping, she is no longer Wang Xifeng's most important maid, and those who flattered her and called her Sister Ping'er in the past naturally disappeared.

Ping'er's appearance is much worse than Wang Xifeng's. As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and stealing is worse than not being able to steal.She is the one who steals to Jia Lian, especially the one who misses Jia Lian because she often can't steal.

Now that she has become a serious aunt, Jia Lian treats her like that.In addition, her hands are full of calluses now, and her face is not as tender as before.

In the past, he had a graceful figure and was charming when he walked, but now he is slightly fatter, and he can't think of other adjectives other than ugly when he walks.

Jia Lian is lustful, but he is also very picky eater. Well, Ping'er looks a little disgusted now, so he can't be hard on anything!

Mingxi waved his fan and said to Wang Xifeng: "Do you think he really likes Ping'er? He likes the feeling that he can't steal it, or how can you say a cheap man!"

You still treat this kind of thing as a baby?Man, that's it, when you like him, he's so nice.When you don't like him, he is nothing.

It's better to be kinder to yourself than to like anyone, silly girl, you can be more considerate!Just like Jia Lian, getting him to change his lewdness is harder than letting a dog eat shit. "

Wang Xifeng was a little sad: "At the beginning, he promised me that he would love me, love me and pamper me for the rest of his life... Uncle and aunt didn't agree with me marrying him back then, so I insisted on marrying him..."

Ming Xi sighed: "Young and affectionate, that's all. You are a cold person, how can you grow old together..."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help asking Mingxi: "Ma'am, have you ever liked the elder?"

Mingxi glanced at her: "What do you think?"

Wang Xifeng knew it well, because he didn't like it, so he wouldn't suffer because of his fickleness and ungratefulness.In the future, she must put her heart away and stop giving her sincerity so as not to get hurt.

Jia Lian found that Wang Xifeng had changed. Although she was strong in front of outsiders before, she was very gentle and considerate when getting along with Jia Lian.Whenever he felt uncomfortable, although Wang Xifeng said it harshly, he cared about him very much.

Now there is nothing left, Wang Xifeng doesn't care what he does, all his thoughts are on the child in his stomach.

He accidentally sprained his foot while riding a horse, and Wang Xifeng never asked him if it hurt or if he felt uncomfortable.He just said lightly: "Then let's take care of it, Aunt Ping takes good care of the second master."

Wang Xifeng's child got her wish and gave birth to a son named Jia Mao by Jia She, whose nickname is Brother Maoer.

The child was raised well, and he was a chubby boy when he was born. With his son, Jia Lian has been proud of himself for a long time.Because the relationship between this child and Wang Xifeng has eased somewhat.

No matter how much Wang Xifeng annoyed him in his heart, for the sake of the child, he had to be wooed.

The Dafang had a grandson, and the Wang family was the most unhappy. She gave Wang Xifeng medicine, and with Wang Xifeng's body, it was difficult to conceive. What went wrong? Wang Xifeng not only became pregnant, but also gave birth to a baby. boy.

But soon she didn't have time to think about it, the palace spread the good news that Yuan Chun was conferred the title of Concubine Xiande and moved into Fengzao Palace.

The whole Jia Mansion was beaming, and the whole family gathered together to discuss how to celebrate.Only Ming Xi hugged Jia Rui, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Master, when you enter the palace to thank you, you also go to see the empress together."

Mingxi raised his eyelids: "I'm just the aunt next door. What are you going to see my mother for? You and your younger siblings, old lady, are fine. I don't know how to speak all day long. If I get angry with you, then I will ..."

Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat, and she didn't mention the matter of letting Mingxi enter the palace together to thank her.

Back in the East Courtyard, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were still enjoying themselves, Mingxi couldn't help but poured cold water on them: "What's the matter? You think it's a good thing for Jia Yuanchun to become a virtuous concubine? Then It's a good thing for the second room, and it has half a dime relationship with you?

Of course, it's not necessarily true that it doesn't matter at all.Who does Jia Yuanchun love the most?The younger brother Jia Baoyu she brought up, right?You said that she became a concubine, so it's your turn to be the title in this mansion? "

Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian's expressions changed. That's right, why didn't they expect it?It's not a day or two since Wang's idea of ​​getting this title...

Mingxi glanced at them: "This is not the most terrible thing. Let me ask you, Yuan Chun has been in the palace for so many years, isn't he not young? Why is it that she was only a female official for so many years, and now she is suddenly a concubine? It's still a terrible thing." Concubine Xiande?"

Jia Lian scratched his head: "What happened to Concubine Xiande?"

Mingxi snorted coldly: "What's the matter? There are virtuous concubines and virtuous concubines in the palace. What title is wrong with Feng Yuanchun? You have to choose a virtuous one? Isn't this slapping the virtuous concubine and De concubine in the face?

What's more, if you count the titles of the concubines in this dynasty, who has the title of two characters? "

Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and his son counted on their fingers, but there were really none.After all, Jia She is an old man, he quickly thought of it: "The two characters are usually posthumous titles..."

Mingxi nodded: "It's not that stupid. I guess, Yuan Chun must have done something, and this incident forced the emperor to make her a concubine. But the emperor didn't make her a concubine willingly, so he chose such a concubine." title.

Among the four concubines, Concubine Xian was supposed to be ranked after Concubine De, but now she is at the front. Adding Yuan Chun's surname, Jia Xiande, doesn't it mean that she is not worthy of this position?

Moreover, the emperor made a good idea, Concubine Xian and Concubine De must hate Yuan Chun to the bone now, and even the Empress should be extremely afraid of her.Where is this grace?It's clearly a reminder! "

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian secretly hoped that Ming Xi's guess was wrong. If it was true, then they would inevitably suffer disaster.

Ming Xi rubbed his chin: "It's actually very simple to know Yuan Chun's real status in the palace, you can tell by looking at the attitudes of the eunuchs in the palace in a few days.

But you just need to remember that if she is favored, we can't take advantage of it, and if she is not favored, we are afraid that it will be a catastrophe.This second room is really a bastard, my lord, do you remember what I said last time?Have you received your greeting card and seal? "

Jia She nodded: "I put it away, and scolded me because of this old lady."

Mingxi comforted him: "It's better to be scolded than to be blamed in the future. We have to plan ahead. If we are implicated by Yuan Chun in the future, we will not be charged with any crimes. At most, it will be just seizing the title and ransacking the house. We can still save our lives.

I'm afraid that if you are not afraid of dying and causing trouble outside, you will be beheaded when the time comes.I am most afraid of being exiled for three thousand miles or six thousand miles. "

Ming Xi's words almost scared the shit out of this cowardly father and son. Confiscating the house and seizing the title?Beheaded and exiled?It's intoxicating to hear, why did Mingxi say it so lightly, and said... that's all.

Because of Jia Yuanchun's appointment as a concubine, Jia Lian and his son, who had already floated up, were knocked down by Ming Xi.

When Erfang was busy celebrating, the father and son rarely got together, planning how to transfer part of the family property first.
