The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

So what if Zhao's girl was sent by the old lady.

"Ma'am, there's a letter from Jinling." Zhou Rui's family handed over a dowry box, "It's from the second master."

"Are you here to ask for money again?" Wang's relationship with her eldest brother Wang Ziteng is good, but she is far away from her second brother Wang Zisheng who is far away in Jinling.Firstly, Wang Zisheng is in Jinling, and the two families seldom interact with each other; secondly, although Wang Zisheng is brothers and sisters with Wang Ziteng, the Wang family, and the Xue Wang family who joined the Xue family, Wang Zisheng is a full-fledged dandy. My son, in Jinling, is a person who likes to do things wrong, causing the relationship between brothers and sisters to break up. "Bring the letter here."

After receiving the box, Wang found that there were all kinds of uncut gems inside, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.Her second brother always asks for money when writing letters, so why did he give a gift first this time?After reading the letter again, I realized that although it was sent in the name of Prince Sheng of Jinling, the person who wrote the letter was Wang Zisheng's wife.After a glance, it was my sister-in-law who said that she would send her daughter to Beijing to stay for a while.

"It seems that my sister-in-law is also afraid that the second brother will hurt her daughter's reputation, so she wants to send Brother Feng to the capital." Mrs. Wang scooped up a piece of apple-sweet melon, "My niece is six years old, counting her age. It's time for Kai Meng to study. Brother Ren's elder brother and second elder brother have the same temperament, no wonder sister-in-law has the idea of ​​sending Brother Feng to Beijing."

The "Brother Ren" mentioned by Wang is Wang Ren, the son of Wang Zisheng and the elder brother of Wang Xifeng. Even if she sent her to a private school to study on weekdays, she was just fooling around, and she didn't blame her sister-in-law for worrying about Wang Xifeng's future upbringing.

"If Brother Feng comes to Beijing, where will he live?" Zhou Rui's family asked.

"Of course he lives in the palace. After a while, when my fetal image is stable, I'll bring him over and let's stay here for a while." Mrs. Wang scooped up another piece of watermelon, "It's been a long time since I've seen him. Brother Feng is gone, I met my second brother from a distance when he went to Beijing."

"Isn't it? It's been quite a few years." Seeing that Mrs. Wang has been eating melons and fruits, Zhou Rui's family brought a translucent thorn wood chrysanthemum light Luoling fan to fan her to cool off, "Madam has eaten a lot of fruits today. , wait carefully, if you can’t eat, ask someone to bring it down first. Today, the kitchen has made my wife’s favorite red oil vegetarian tripe shreds and red dates snow clam soup.”

"It's rare that the big house is so rich." Mrs. Wang snorted twice, "Okay, let's take it."

The third day of August is Mother Jia's birthday. After Xu Hui entertained the female relatives who came to the banquet, she walked into the flower hall and saw a little girl about six or seven years old beside Wang Ziteng's wife, Shi Shi. The swirl-pattern gauze embroidered skirt was covered with a hibiscus-colored wide-sleeved wide-bodied top, and two small black-silver flat hairpins inlaid with dark red agate beads were placed on the hair bun.She has a pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, and her face is a bit round, but she is a cute little girl.

"Who is this little girl?" Xu Hui sat down and asked after saluting to Mother Jia with a smile.She knew that Mrs. Shi gave birth to a daughter not long ago, but she couldn't grow up like that without seeing the girl for a few days, could she be a relative of the Wang family?

"This is my niece, nicknamed Feng Geer, she is six years old this year." Shi said with a smile, "Her family was originally in Jinling, but her mother was ill and unable to do so, so she was sent to Beijing to live for a while. I just came to the capital not long ago, thinking that today is my aunt’s birthday, so I brought it here for my aunt to meet everyone.”

It turned out to be Feng Spicy Wang Xifeng.Xu Hui nodded, isn't that Jia Lian's wife in the book?It's just that she doesn't want her son to marry any girl from the four major families. Wang Xifeng might not be able to enter Jia's house.She took off the tourmaline and fragrant bead bracelet in her hand, and said: "I didn't even say that I would bring the girl here, I didn't even prepare any meeting ceremony. This is a bracelet I asked for from Tanzhe Temple, you can play with it."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Wang Xifeng didn't pretend to evade, and after taking the bracelet, she also saluted and thanked her generously.

"The rules are very good." Mother Jia said with a smile.

Xu Hui noticed that a red gold silk bracelet that Jia's mother liked very much was already worn on Wang Xifeng's wrist. It seemed that Jia's mother had given it to Wang Xifeng.

"Have you ever read any books?" Xu Hui asked, considering his age, he was supposed to start school. Jia Yuanchun also hired a master when he was five years old.

"I learned to read account books with my mother before. I only know a few words, but I have never read the others." Wang Xifeng was raised as a boy since she was a child. She has a boyish temper and speaks outspokenly.

"My niece is bold, well-behaved and sensible. Her mother is not in good health, so she helps to read the account book and only learns a few words from there. This time I will live in Beijing for a period of time when I come to Beijing. I plan to invite Qing Ke from our master's side to enlighten Brother Feng, our girls must know some poetry." Shi Shi put his arms around Wang Xifeng and said with a smile, "From now on, we must come to get close to my aunt."

"It's a good feeling, I like the chattering of the little girl next to me." Mother Jia said with a smile.

Mrs. Wang was pinching the handkerchief to make a happy look, but she was thinking in her heart: Brother Feng is about the same age as Brother Lian, and when the time comes, he will pick up Brother Feng to live in the house, and he is a young man from a young family. Nature is the best.There are very few people in the Rongguo Mansion who can help her. If the daughter of the Wang family marries another one into the mansion, then she will have a good helper in the mansion, and maybe she can make the big family unhappy.Thinking of this, she became more amiable towards Wang Xifeng.

"A cousin brought Wang Zisheng's daughter over here today?" Jia She changed into a dark blue brocade uniform with plain surface after washing, and asked after taking a sip of sober soup, "That girl named Wang Xifeng?"

"Yes, I heard that they were sent to Beijing to live for a while." Xu Hui took off the hairpin from her head, and twisted the handkerchief to wipe off the makeup on her face, "What's wrong?"

"I heard from my second brother that this Feng girl is not much different from our brother Lian's age, and I don't know what they are thinking." Although the four big families are connected with each other, there is already a daughter of the Wang family in the Rongguo Mansion. , he didn't want his wife to be a girl from the Wang family.The first room and the second room are peaceful on the surface, but in fact it is just because Wang is pregnant and cannot confront the first room for the time being, "How do you feel when you see that girl today?"

"The rules are not bad, and you are lucky to look at them, but others can't see it." Xu Hui came over and sat on the couch, "It probably doesn't mean that to look at the Wang family." Then she explained the reason Shi said to her. Jia She heard, "With her father's temperament, it is not a good thing for a girl to stay in Jinling. For the sake of her daughter, her mother found a reason to send her to Beijing to receive enlightenment, but this is not her home after all. You should go back sometime."

"Who knows what our second wife is thinking, with her temperament, even if she is pregnant, she will make some moths out, just wait and see." Jia She snorted, "The old lady is now a baby, she is like a baby. Yes, it seems that she is pregnant with a gold ingot, and you never saw her care so much when you were pregnant with your sister."

Jia Amnesty is biased in saying this. When Xu Hui was pregnant with her daughter, Jia's mother also sent people to visit three times a day. The food and drink were all the best.Xu Hui knew that the relationship between Jia She and Jia's mother would not be reversed any time soon, so she had to change the subject: "Hurry up and drink all the hangover soup while it's hot. Doesn't it mean that I have invited my elder brother to ride a horse? If I can't get up in the morning It’s a missed appointment to come.”

"It's still early." Jia Amnesty drank the hangover soup in one gulp, "By the way, Mrs. Xie, a commoner in the palace, has gone."

Xu Hui didn't realize it at first, but after thinking about it, she realized that Jia She was talking about the former concubine Lin who was relegated to common people, so she asked: "What's going on, why is there no news in Beijing? "

"It's normal that there is no ordinary person in the harem. Who would publicize this? I heard it occasionally. It is said that it happened a month ago." Jia She took a piece of fragrant pear and gave it to him. The smell of decoction was overwhelming, "She committed a heinous crime by framing the concubine and the emperor's heir. The people of the Xie family wished that they had never had such a daughter in their family. If Xie's family is gone, it will be gone. They don't want to mention it to others at all."

"Although Mrs. Xie has committed a heinous crime, it must have been done by someone with a heart. Even if she was demoted to the common people and thrown into the cold palace, it is impossible for her to die suddenly in just a few months." No wonder I went to give the empress a few months ago. When she greeted her with such a relaxed look, it seemed that she had been prepared for this matter long ago.Xu Hui combed her long hair, "But the concubine Yu is about to give birth, so it's no wonder that the palace is suppressing the news, after all, it's not a good thing."

"You see that there is no news in Beijing now, I'm afraid it will be spread all over in a few days." Jia Amnesty glanced at Xu Hui, "Don't forget that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in a few days. There are too many wives. It would not be surprising if someone accidentally heard some 'news' in the palace, maybe others would say that Yu concubine took the opportunity to kill Mrs. Xie."

According to what Jia She said, the empress wanted to kill two birds with one stone.Mrs. Xie's sudden death, if it is rumored that someone from Jade Concubine's Palace has been to the Leng Palace, no matter whether it is true or not, this basin of dirty water must have been poured on Jade Concubine recklessly.Xu Hui pushed Jia Amnesty's shoulder: "Where did you hear such news?"

Jia Amnesty looked at Xu Hui with a smile, yawned and avoided the topic, and said, "I'm tired, let's go to sleep."

Xu Hui glared at him, without such a hook
