Femme Beauty

After more than two quarters, a woman ran into the front hall crying bullyingly.All the old and young men present looked at the woman in surprise, and then she was pulled into the wing room after being covered by a middle-aged man.Jia Lian looked at each other with curiosity.He pulled the servant who was waiting on the side: "Who is that?"

"Master Hui, it's the cousin from the third wife's side. I just don't know what's going on." Seeing that it was Jia Lian, the servant said with a pleasing smile.In the Jia family at this time, almost no two officials were doing business as Confucian merchants.A Confucian businessman must be a scholar first, and then a businessman.However, even if the family is big and the business is big, facing Jia Lian, who has the status of a nobleman, is much lower.

Jia Lian nodded when he heard the words, but didn't move closer.After all, it is a family matter.I just vaguely heard what the woman said about Mr. Jia... Most of the people in this room are surnamed Jia.Young people are all sons, who knows who she is talking about?

The inquirer vaguely heard that the woman was referring to Jia Lian, but Jia Lian had been in for a quarter of an hour.If something happened to the woman, it might not just be disheveled clothes.At this time, the original humiliation turned into a farce, and the master of the third room was very angry and ordered his servants to gag Miss Biao and shut her up.The matter was dealt with before Jia Lian got involved.Seeing this, Jia Lian shook his clothes and stepped forward to say goodbye:

"Uncle Shi looks very lively here, just sobering up next to him. It's just that my daughter-in-law is not feeling well, I have to go back and have a look. I hope Uncle Shi Haihan will come to make amends someday. "

He is handsome, humble and polite.In addition, because of the incident just now, he was a little bit embarrassing, so the third-bedroom master could only watch him leave with the servant.

Jia Lian left, and the banquet lost its meaning.The third-bedroom master walked into the main room with a black face. At this time, his wife was comforting the wronged niece.Seeing him coming in, his eyes slanted: "Who are you showing with a dark face? Wenyue has been wronged so much, it's okay if you don't help. Someone even sent her back. After all, this is also my serious foreigner." Niece. If someone bullies you so much, you have to give an explanation!"

"Explanation? You came to ask me... okay..." The third-bedroom master was already full of anger, and he was being held accountable just as he sat down to drink tea.He stood up so angry that the teacup was still on the ground: "Why don't you ask your good niece, what did she do? I entertained the people from Jingli well, and she actually made this for me. Good!" Girls don’t do it, they want to be someone’s concubine. You don’t even look at what kind of family they are. You have the face to cry here if you do such humiliating things yourself.”

He blushed with anger and pointed at his wife and the surprised woman.His lips were trembling and he couldn't continue speaking.Mrs. Sanfang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she must have doubts when she heard her husband reprimand her like this.She looked at her niece and frowned: "Wen Yue, what's going on? You said that the son from the sixth room insulted you, and your uncle won't help you. But now look at your uncle, how angry are you? Tell me clearly. What does it mean to leave a good girl behind and do such despicable things."

"Auntie..." The woman's face turned pale, she glanced at her aunt with trembling shoulders, and said in a weeping voice, "That's Mr. Jia...he looks like he's drunk too much...all over... Pull me if you smell of alcohol." She lowered her head and covered her face with a handkerchief.

"A mouth full of nonsense, I don't think it's better to send it to the temple to get An Sheng." An old-fashioned female voice sounded from a corner, and the three-bedroom couple hurriedly got up to welcome the owner of the voice.

"Mother... why are you here?" Mrs. Sanfang helped her mother-in-law to sit on the seat.The old woman looked a little older, with gray temples.She looked at her daughter-in-law coldly, pointed to the crying woman and said, "So this is a girl from your husband's family. I don't care about the poor girl who came here to seek refuge. Even if I speak, I can't say a word to her." Yes. But right now, I really have to tell you something. You ask her, the young master of the sixth room came out of the garden early, and someone told me that her girl went to the garden. The mother-in-law looked at it. As a result, she, who was ashamed, actually followed the girl to tear her clothes and yelled around. This is your niece from your husband's family, but right now it is affecting our family's face. You look at the what to do?"

The old woman glared fiercely at the woman who was already stunned by the side, her teeth itching from hatred.But now things have happened, although they all know what's going on and they haven't offended others positively.But in the end, the sixth house is the most promising branch of the famous old family of the Jia family.Although they carry the title of rich gentry, they are still businessmen after all.The children are not making progress in the imperial examination, in order to obtain their own interests.In many things, most of them are due to Liufang's blessing.

"Mother sees how to do it well, so let's do it!" The wife of the third room is a clear-headed wife. There are two unmarried daughters under her, and the youngest son has not yet married a wife.If such a matter is not handled properly, it will definitely affect her child's marriage.In the end, no matter how the mother-in-law handles it, it is the result of this girl's lack of self-respect.

"Since you said that, I don't care about your face anymore. There are still four or five granddaughters under me who have not yet settled their marriages. Let's send them to the temple for now!" He snorted and told the mother-in-law: "Hurry up and send your cousin down, and keep it under strict supervision."

The women are quick to move, and Miss Biao is indeed very kind to them on weekdays.There are also a lot of rewards, but in the final analysis, it is not my boss.The owner has spoken, they can do nothing there.Before the woman could whimper, she gagged her mouth and dragged her away.

When Jia Lian came home, he happened to see Wang Xifeng lying in the warm pavilion and dozing off.He stepped forward and kissed Wang Xifeng's face with his mouth still smelling of alcohol.

Wang Xifeng opened her eyes and half sat up and stared at him, then wiped her cheek with the back of her hand: "Why did you come back so early? Didn't you say it will be night?" She opened the curtain and looked at the sun outside the window. Not until dusk.

"I miss you!" Jia Lian took off her shoes and went to the Nuan Pavilion with a smile, squeezed Wang Xifeng inside, wrapped her arms around her waist and hugged her.Nesting her head into Wang Xifeng's arms, she took a deep breath of daughter fragrance, Wang Xifeng blushed and pushed him away.Pouting his mouth: "Second Master is used to saying nice things to me, according to my opinion, something must have happened, and Second Master came back early. I have inquired about it, and everyone here drinks some rice wine Sprinkle. It can’t be compared to the pot head in the capital.”

"Want to know?" Jia Lian rested his head on one hand and played with Wang Xifeng's braids wrapped with silk threads.

"Second Master just say what you want, why bother me?" Wang Xifeng grabbed her hair, got up and sat leaning against the bedpost.

"Look... this small mouth is so pouty, you can hang an oil bottle!" Jia Lian got up and sat opposite him, and greeted the girl outside to serve tea: "Let me tell you, if it weren't for your second master, I am clever, you You have to give it to the second master and me."

"How do you say that? Could it be that the second master is not clever, can he not give it to me if he wants it?" Wang Xifeng raised her phoenix eyes, curled her lips and pointed at Qiu Ju who brought tea and put it on the low stool beside the bed: " Around me, except for this girl and Dongmei, I want to arrange to be the housewife in the future, and the rest, if the second master likes it, he can pick it casually. Be a girl first, and be promoted to concubine when you have a child. If you don't like it, this It's close to Yangzhou. Even the Yangzhou skinny horse, it's worth buying one or two. Why did the second master say such a thing?"

Looking at her petite appearance, Jia Lian felt even more itchy.He pinched Wang Xifeng's cheek: "Look at this soreness! Is the second master that kind of person? Your master, I, want to guard me, a beautiful girl, for the rest of my life. Besides, the second master is here to do it this time." What? The imperial examination, apprenticeship. How can something go wrong at this time?"

Wang Xifeng covered her face and turned her head away, snorted: "Who knows what Second Master is thinking?"

"Okay!" Jia Lian waved her hands and smiled, "I won't mess with you here, so as not to make you think about it. Second Master, I was almost tricked today, and I don't know how I was brought up. If it wasn't for your family's second Master is clever, this matter will ruin your family's second master's future?"

When Wang Xifeng heard about it, she immediately became interested. She curled her lips and looked at Jia Lian: "But there is a girl throwing herself into her arms?"

"It's fine if you throw yourself into your arms, but the problem is that the girl is a serious girl. She wears hairpins and rings in silver. I thought I'd drink too much and take Wang'er in the small yard to let off steam. A bunch of old men, this drink is not very intoxicating. It is similar to the sweet-scented osmanthus wine that you women drink, but I don’t want other girls to come over. It’s still Wang’er who is excited and returns to the lobby from the path ahead of time. Guess what other people What did the girl do?"

"What?" Wang Xifeng tilted his head to look at Jia Lian, while Qiu Ju looked at his grandmother and uncle with interest.

"The girl dawdled for a long time, tore off her clothes and broke into the hall, saying it was Mr. Jia..." Jia Lian imitated the woman's voice with her throat squeezed, amused Wang Xifeng and Qiu Ju.Wang Xifeng smiled and gave him a hammer: "This girl's upbringing is indeed problematic. It seems that there will be a lot of fun tomorrow when I go to the third room. But speaking of it, there are too many Mr. Jia... That girl doesn't understand .”

She followed that girl in the garden and struggled for two or three quarters of an hour. How could I explain it clearly when I returned to the hall early.But I just want to use this not to understand, and let me understand it here. Jia Lian sneered, picked up the tea bowl on the side, and took several sips to quench his thirst.

Seeing that he was thirsty, Wang Xifeng gave Qiu Ju a look: "Second Master's belly is full of water! It just so happens that I don't have much for dinner, so why don't Second Master use some more with me."

"That's good!" Jia Lian drank half a bowl of tea, wiped the corners of her mouth and looked at her daughter-in-law: "It's just right, I have to write to Uncle Lin to tell you about today's events, so that no one will find out what to do in the future."

He got off to put on his shoes while talking. His study room was on the left side of the main room where the two lived, and there was nothing special in it.They are all simple brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, without any special embellishments or famous calligraphy and paintings.He himself is not a famous person, so it is fine if he can use it.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xifeng got out of the carriage wearing a rose red or fox fur cloak. The golden phoenix and the specially made peach blossom makeup made her more beautiful than flowers.The carriage stopped at the entrance of the three-bedroom mansion, and the third-bedroom wife was waiting inside the second gate with her daughter-in-law in a dark blue jacket. Jinling area is stricter in terms of etiquette.Women seldom go out of the second door, even the mistress of the house also goes out by car through the other door of the inner courtyard.This is completely different from Beijing.

Wang Xifeng saw the wife of the third room and walked up with a smile: "I have seen my aunt!" She bowed slightly and walked to the wife of the third room.The wife of the third room looked at her as gorgeous as a peach blossom, not to mention her overall style, and her temperament was not comparable to that of a small family.Although she agreed with her mother-in-law to send her niece to the temple, she still hoped to see if there was any room for turning around after seeing the headed daughter-in-law.It's not for nothing that my niece did such a mindless thing.

Originally, he wanted to marry his niece to his youngest son. Although he was the second son, he was still the first son.But the mother-in-law wanted to marry a girl from her natal family, so the matter was deadlocked here.Not long ago, when I went to burn incense in the temple, my mother-in-law settled the matter with her natal family in front of many wives in private.My natal family has fallen, leaving behind this niece.There is no choice for a good family, after all, dowry and support from the mother's family are not favored by anyone.It's been sixteen or seventeen years, and I had no choice but to think of such a foolish trick.

But the woman in front of her is not only beautiful with phoenix eyes.What's more, she is a formidable one at first sight. This housekeeper's daughter-in-law may not be able to do well even if she becomes a concubine in the future.It's hard to say, if I begged, I would still hurt her.Thinking of this, Mrs. Sanfang decided not to mention this matter to Wang Xifeng, and just waited for the matter to subside in the future, so she could find someone who was studying and marry her.

"I saw brother Lian yesterday, but he is a good-looking talent." After getting off the sedan chair, the third wife smiled and took Wang Xifeng's hand and walked into the main room, followed by two daughters-in-law.The older one was chosen by her husband, and her natal family was the Xue family.The youngest is Yang from her mother-in-law's family.She is lukewarm towards this daughter-in-law, after all, she is not self-satisfied, and it does not help her youngest son.The Jia family and the Xue family have been married for generations, no matter how the Xue family carries the name of the imperial merchant, they can bring good benefits to their son.But the mother-in-law's family, the Yang family, is a small local family.In the early years, I heard that it was also famous for a while.But right now it is similar to her family, they are all declining families.The dowry brought by this daughter-in-law is not much, only a little 36 can carry the dowry.She read it carefully, probably the old lady added a lot in private.

The guest of honor sat down, and Mrs. Sanfang introduced her two daughters-in-law.Pointing to the eldest daughter-in-law, he said, "I heard that your aunt is the head wife of Xue's family, and they are still part of the family."

"It's true what mother said..." The eldest daughter-in-law covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "In the end, it is also thanks to the blessing of Liufang. Our family is also a part of the clan, so it is nothing. It's just that Once the family relationship, it allows me to marry into the family."

"How do you say it's biased?" Wang Xifeng turned her eyes and said, "You are older than me, so it's because of you calling sister-in-law. My aunt is my father's sister-in-law. I heard that my husband said that my sister-in-law But the branch of the long family is still a serious relative who has not been out of the fifth service! But let me say, these are not counted. Our Jia family, Wang family, Shi family and Xue family are all old and old. In Beijing, some stayed here to honor their ancestors. Speaking of which, our house is still in debt. Anyway, if the ancestral hall and so on have not been worried about by your aunts and uncles, how can some of us come here safely?"

Her voice is clear and crisp, with a strong Beijing accent.The three women in the third room were surprised by taking care of many aspects.This woman from Beijing is different after all.

"I heard that uncle is here to take the imperial examination?" Yang glanced at the elder sister-in-law. She knew that her mother-in-law was not satisfied with her, but the old lady had to accept her as a daughter-in-law.From now on, the head of the family must be the sister-in-law.She could see clearly, so she leaned closer.

"No, my father said that he can go there after the game. He will come here just before the beginning of spring. It just so happens that my aunt's house is in Yangzhou at this time, so I can rush over to see him."

"But the Tanhualang from the Lin family in Suzhou and Hangzhou?" Hearing Wang Xifeng mention Uncle Lin, Mrs. Sanfang thought about it, and it seemed that she could match her.

"Exactly!" Wang Xifeng nodded slightly: "It's just that at the moment, he is also a member of the party. I got the news from the top before I arrived, and this spring will officially promote the salt administration. I am afraid that I will stay for another three years. My father-in-law and My aunt is a compatriot from the same mother. It sounds like my aunt had some good news recently, so she sent us two little ones on the road as soon as the New Year passed."

"It looks... it's your mother-in-law who loves your daughter-in-law!" Xue looked at her mother-in-law with a smile: "My mother-in-law is always lazy. I have been in the house for less than a month and let me be the housekeeper." She spoke with complaints, but there was a kind of happiness in her tone.

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and smiled: "My mother-in-law is a philanthropic person, just because she is the stepmother. Our old lady didn't let her take care of the house, but now the family is divided. It's up to me to take care of it, but I shouldn't. It is to help my mother-in-law, to be filial and to share her worries. But before I got married, I was ordered by an eminent monk, saying that if I don’t touch these things for three years after I get married, I will be able to prosper the family business in the future. My mother-in-law doesn’t believe anything else, just these things It's a serious letter. I looked at it, but I was too lazy to get off and accompany our father to come over for the exam."

"That's good!" The wife of the third room smiled and nodded at the eldest daughter-in-law: "I'm not good to you? Which one is on your head and on your hands, which one was not given to you?" After saying this, she was helpless. Said to Wang Xifeng: "This sister-in-law is not used to be good at dressing up. She just likes the silk flowers that don't get gold powder, even the color tone is very monotonous. It is said that before she got married, her mother's family saw a lot of gold and silver. Let me see... that's it. He doesn't know how to dress up, and he's too lazy. It's just an excuse."

"I think it makes a lot of sense. Hehe..." Wang Xifeng smiled and crossed her feet to make the curve of the skirt more beautiful: "My aunt's daughter, who is only six or seven years old this year, said that the family is gold and silver. She rolled her eyes. My aunt really regretted making the house look like a snow cave. She said that if she was young, she wouldn’t have teased her with golden beans, but now I’m afraid I love her.”

"It's common sense that the Xue family is rich!" The third wife nodded, she agreed with this point.Just looking at the 98% dense dowry of the eldest daughter-in-law when she started, is enough.

The three chatted and laughed for a while, Wang Xifeng didn't mean to accept the banquet from Mrs. Sanfang, but said that she was worried that her husband would go back at noon.
