Femme Beauty

Jia Lian sat respectfully on a chair beside the kang in the side room of Ningguo Mansion. Jia Jing sat on the kang wearing a coat and a quilt. look at something.On the one hand, there are women and servants gathered outside to stay.Because the owner likes to be quiet, no one makes noise.That is to say, but also in whispers.

The silence in the room was only human breathing, and Jia Lian sat upright with his eyes downcast.Just when he thought his back was going to freeze, Jia Jing's voice was like a soft moan after breaking the silence, making the whole room come alive.He put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Jia Lian, and asked calmly, "What time is it?"

"Pingdan has Zhong." What Jia Lian said is a common name, which is equivalent to four o'clock in the middle of the night in Western timekeeping.Jia Jing nodded, coughed for a while, and then used a handkerchief to deal with the sticky phlegm he spit out, and called the people outside to serve tea.The cold tea beside Jia Lian was also replaced.

The hot tea was served, and the room began to heat up.Jia Jing changed his posture and leaned down, becoming a half-lying posture.He tilted his body and rinsed his mouth with the water bowl, and then slowly sipped two sips of tea before speaking: "I guess, the work over there is over!"

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "It's a bit late at this time. According to the rules, I'm afraid he will return to the palace before dawn." He considered it based on the memory of his previous life, and he was never sure about Jia Jing.The several times of contact are also cautious and deliberate.

Jia Jing put down his cup, nodded and folded his hands on his chest without looking at Jia Lian: "Can you blame me for not letting you show your face?"

"No way!" Jia Lian lowered her head and smiled when she heard the words, "I didn't want to go at first, but I was worried that I couldn't find a reason. It's a great thing for my uncle to ask me to come. It's just my wife alone. At home, I'm a little worried."

"There are a lot of maids and women, what are you worried about?" Jia Jing glanced at him: "The old lady over there made a mess, but now she is looking at Longsheng, but she is on a different path from you. It's not easy to shout at Lin Ruhai. It's really troublesome for you to go there. I heard that you decided to go to your father's place in two days?"

"Yes!" Jia Lian nodded: "In general, everything has been packed, and people have been sent there in advance. I just waited until today, and then I set off. Right now, I don't have anything to do. The teacher of Shishu Jingji I might as well take a look around before the big exam next year. I just want to take over my eldest sister, and I'm old enough to count. Now I'm going back to Beijing to raise her for a while, and I'm ready to get married." He said His words were true, Jia Jing nodded and waved his hand: "Go back! When you leave, you must go to the old lady. If you ask me about it, you will play chess with me all night."

"Yes!" Jia Lian could see that Jia Jing was very tired, so he got up, saluted and retreated.When Wang Xifeng heard outsiders say that Jia Lian had returned, she hurriedly got off the ground and put on her shoes to meet him.

"I'm back! Why is it so late!" She was a little unhappy that Jia Jing was holding on to Jia Lian, and Jia Lian didn't explain, but just followed Jia Jing's explanation: "Uncle took me to play chess, and when he felt tired, he was already at Pingdan. gone."

"I let someone warm the soup pot on the stove, and served rice noodles. You go to make bubbles first, and use it with me later before resting. The soup was prepared early, and I wanted to wait for you to come back and use it together." Wang Xifeng He took off the cloak on his body, and asked the maid to return his clothes.Jia Lian also felt exhausted, and was very happy to hear that there was hot soup.He watched as Wang Xifeng took off the outer cover along with her, leaving only the inner garment.The two went to the small side room together, where the two big tall wooden barrels were.The clothes were returned one by one, and the water temperature was suitable and a smoldering fire was burned in the ground to keep the water temperature very comfortable.

"Huh..." After a long breath, Jia Lian opened his arms and put his head on the wall of the barrel to look up at the misty roof. The maid on the side was using a ladle to wash his hair, and Wang Xifeng only showed his hair. Looking at him tall: "Why are you sighing so well?"

"I just feel like coming back to live like a year now." Jia Lian thought about the old lady's horrible things, and felt that it would be better to go along in Jiangnan.

Wang Xifeng chuckled when she heard the words: "Thinking about it this way, it's true that I'm not as comfortable as I was in Jiangnan. But let me see, the old lady is old after all. It's enough to endure for three to five years."

"Three to five years?" Jia Lian turned her head to look at Wang Xifeng, widened her eyes and smiled, "You have checked carefully, the old lady is the best at taking care of her. Now that she has a concubine or granddaughter, she has to take care of her. Three or five years Humph!" He snorted softly, "I'm afraid I'll need it in ten or so years."

"It's a big deal, just ask for a foreign job. You have to pass the exam next year anyway." Thinking of Jiamu's body, Wang Xifeng smiled with her lips and eyes narrowed.Jia Lian looked at her and smiled, then shook his head: "That's the only way!"

The two of them slept until the sun rose to the railing before getting up.The waiters changed shifts early, after all they stayed up all night, Wang Xifeng is not like before, and it is not easy to look at the girl with dark circles under her eyes.So after she started housekeeping, there was a system of shifts.

Seeing Wang Xifeng getting up, Jia Lian just moved her body to let her get out of bed, and leaned on the pillow without moving to watch Wang Xifeng get dressed.

Gently shaved her eyebrows with a small copper knife, Wang Xifeng stared at the hand mirror very carefully.Jia Lian looked at her like that, and sneered: "What are you doing so hard for? I think they just painted it on after they wiped it off."

"I don't like that kind of eyebrows. It's better to trim these eyebrows carefully. Besides, it won't be necessary after three or four days of repairing." Wang Xifeng carefully applied the eyebrows and eyelids with a damp and hot towel.After wiping his face again, he put the flower water made by someone on his face.Wait until the flower water on the face is completely dry before applying the homemade face oil.It's not that she doesn't want to invent BB cream, but she doesn't know what the ingredients are and how to make it.Right now, we can only make loose powder with rice noodles and heat.Fortunately, there is not so much pollution and radiation now, and the body is very healthy, and there are no spots or anything.

Simply sweeping the rouge up, using rose red rouge as a base color at the corners of the eyes, and finely applying the eyeliner with black cream, Wang Xifeng took a closer look at her face.Then he gave the hair to the girl beside him and started chatting with Jia Lian.

"Look now, isn't it better than what was painted on?" Although she had painted peach blossom makeup, it was a bit plain after all.The eyebrows themselves grow well, and the burrs on the corners are removed, which is very good.

Jia Lian moved his buttocks, leaned out and took a closer look, and it was indeed much better than the painting.He chuckled, stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng, who was combing her hair, had to get off the stool and sit on the bed when he pulled her like this, and then she was pressed down by Jia Lian.

Seeing this, the maids and mothers-in-law went out one after another.It was not until more than half an hour later that I heard the sound of calling for water from inside.

While wiping her body with a hot towel, Wang Xifeng glared unhappily at Jia Lian who was getting dressed and getting up.Seeing her bright eyes, Jia Lian curled up the corners of his mouth warmly in his heart: "Stop hooking up with your husband-in-law and me, or you will have...huh?" He raised his chin and gave you a look that you understand.Wang Xifeng spat at him, put on his clothes and asked someone to redress him.

It was already noon at this time, and the sun was rising high on the zenith.While inserting hairpins for Wang Xifeng, Qiu Ju said, "Grandma, the weather today seems to be warmer than the previous two days. The trees outside have sprouted again, but some flowers and plants may have been frozen to death by the cold spring." But grandma thought it right before, and the flowers in the hut are growing well." She was talking about the specially made greenhouse, although there is no glass to transmit light.But it is still possible to open the window every day in front of the window to bask in the sun.

It's spring, and because of the proper management, the flowers in the house can still shine in the sun for an hour or two every day. Although the spring is colder, they are ready to bloom.

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed when he heard this.What she is most worried about right now is the flowers, although the flower water she uses is boiled and distilled from dried flowers.But after all the flowers come out, the floral dew will be even better.

Jia Lian tidied up and asked someone to comb his hair.Instead of choosing the traditional square scarf to wrap, I used two paired hairpins with fish hanging on it.Dressed in a lake-blue satin gown, he looked young and upright, with a jade tree facing the wind.

Wang Xifeng was simple, although he didn't go to the next door yesterday.But today must pass.She didn't want to make herself too unique, and those who were popular in previous lives were just trying to gain self-esteem.

The two had lunch, and after sending someone to inquire if the old lady had taken a break, they waited for an hour before they boarded the carriage and headed to Jia's mansion.

Wang Xifeng was wearing a plain jacket jacket with patterns of white begonias and green branches, and a lotus-colored pleated skirt underneath.There are only two silk flowers in pink and black on the head, which is different from the prosperity and prosperity of the past, but has a kind of gentleness of Xiaojiabiyu.However, she has always been strong in her aura, even if she changed into a plain outfit, it would be difficult to conceal her gait and temperament like a phoenix with its head held high.

The two saluted Jiamu and Mrs. Wang together and sat on one side.Mother Jia looked at Wang Xifeng, who was smiling and hopeful, and leaned on the bench with a crooked body, with soft cushions under her arms.She drank two sips of tea and cleared her throat before she spoke: "It would have been nice if you had come here yesterday. The empress still wanted to see you, but you didn't come." sorry.At the beginning, there was a private message from Xiaohuangmen, saying that it was the meaning of the Holy Majesty.She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't see anything.Is this to praise their family, or what, it is not clear for a while.

Jia Lian heard the words, but rushed to answer the words: "We were going to come too, but after all, the old lady didn't have to say that we shouldn't be surprised by the mother. Things that don't follow the rules, people like us still It's better to do less. I'm also a juren right now, and the master said that I can leave next year. I'm worried about the corners of the mouths of those imperial officials. When it comes to coming, it's also respecting uncle next door. Before I asked the old lady, she called me to come over Played chess all night. When the empress returned to Luan, she let me go home. I wanted to come earlier, but I was worried that the old lady would not be able to rest after working day and night, so I was an hour and a half late."

After hearing what he said, Mother Jia lowered her head and smiled lovingly: "You are like a monkey, why don't I know what you think? I'm afraid it's your uncle looking at you... Do you think I don't want to call you over? Your aunt After all, it is an elderly person, Baoyu alone is enough for her to toss about. In such a big garden, why not find a young and strong one? I thought of Feng girl at the time, and the aunt and nephew who I found were also familiar. But I don't know why, there came a message saying, to avoid suspicion. I didn't shout." She finally sighed slightly, and Wang Xifeng squinted and smiled:

"What the old lady said is that our second master is young and inexperienced. I am also a vicious and shabby one. There are no serious masters in the mansion right and left. The past of our two youngsters is not a problem, is it? If our master comes back Yes, it’s good. It’s just that the Northwest needs him right now, and it’s an inseparable errand after all. The second master is at best a juren, so I guess it’s because Jinling Xuezheng is looking at our old family’s face things."

Speaking of this, Jia Lian gave Wang Xifeng a hard look, and Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and raised her chin to look at Jia Lian: "Why... the second master is not happy, let me tell you! I don't know what the second master was like in the past. Yes? Although you and I said that we only met when we were married. But in the end, my aunt did not become the aunt of the second master in a day or two. Am I wrong? Compared with those who studied hard, The second master's is comparable. It's just that Jinling is our hometown."

Seeing her like that, Jia Lian hummed softly and remained silent.Mother Jia looked at the two of them and gave Mrs. Wang a wink.Mrs. Wang didn't want to speak at first, her son used to be a Juren.But in the end it is gone after passing the exam.She thought more than once that if Zhu'er had such an opportunity back then, she would be fine.But I just thought about it.She lowered her head awkwardly and said, "How can you say that about Lian'er, after all, it's your husband!"

When Wang Xifeng heard the words, he quit immediately.She pouted with an unreasonable look: "I just said it because I knew he was my man. There are no outsiders here, and we are all grown up under the watchful eyes of old ladies and aunts. We can't say anything about him Is it true? I am telling the truth in every sentence, and it is rare to tell the truth, and is there anything wrong?"

"You're the only one who makes a lot of sense!" Madam Wang curled her lips and left such a sentence.Wang Xifeng turned her face away and stopped talking.Jia Lian looked at the cold scene, and changed the subject with an embarrassed smile:

"Today...actually, I still have something to tell the old lady. Our lord and wife have sent a letter, saying that there is nothing to do at home for the time being. Let me take Brother Feng to the northwest. One reason is that my wife is not very healthy recently. Alright, I want Brother Feng to take care of the sick. Second, the eldest sister is now thirteen or fourteen years old. Let me pick her up and wait for a good husband's family in the coming year. How to put it, she is also ready to marry."

Jia's mother was watching the excitement, but when she heard Jia Lian speak, she became a little impatient.But she didn't think about it in a wrong way, after all, her side is rich now.In the future, it would be even better if Yuanchun could have a son and a half daughter.It didn't matter that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng left.She thought about it, and thought that it might be that Jia Lian had been by Lin Ruhai's side all these years, and finally made him feel good.That guy Jia She can't do other things, and I'm afraid only he can do this kind of things.

She thought for a while and nodded, picked up the cup on one side and drank two more sips of tea: "Then how are the affairs in the house arranged?" She thought that if Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng had left, she might not have done what Jia She did back then. .Although the garden looks tidy now, there are still some things missing.

Wang Xifeng glanced at Jia Lian, and Jia Lian quickly replied: "There are some servants in the house, and the things that were originally placed will not move. It's just a big thing. The master wrote to say that it must be deposited in the bank. After all, Lai Da We are also worried about the servants of the family. As for Brother Feng’s dowry, it’s a seal, and it’s good for her dowry to watch over it. We won’t be able to walk for long, and we have to go back before the cold weather. Where to stay, I'm afraid it won't last long."

He lowered his head to answer, and Jia's mother couldn't see his expression clearly.On the contrary, Wang Xifeng picked up the tea and gently pushed aside the tea stem inside, and casually continued Jia Lian's words, with a light tone as if talking about summer gossip: "If you want me to tell, it's better to let someone from the old lady's side help us see It’s on! But the master’s letter said that it was the second aunt who trusted Lai Da’s family, which caused such troubles.”

After hearing this, Jia Mu nodded, "It's okay for your master to be so worried. After all, I'm old. I had a lot of trouble last night, and I couldn't sleep until early in the morning. This person is getting old, and he can't accept it. .Your aunt is currently in charge of this side and the other side. Although it is said to be the family's house, it is still your own yard. If you don't manage it well, I'm afraid it won't take long for the scenery to be deserted."

Wang Xifeng raised her head and looked at Jia Mu with squinted eyes and smiled: "What the old lady said is true, but I'm too young and ignorant." She turned her head to look at the sky outside, and got up: "I saw that it was not too early, yesterday I interrupted Uncle Jing all night. I also agreed to go and grab a meal today, and treat it as a return gift from the younger generation. I won’t be greedy for the old lady’s good food here!"

"It's a blessing that he has a cook sent by the palace years ago!" Jia Mu smiled and waved for Mrs. Wang to see him off.She wasn't going to get up, but she was coming from the younger generation.Mrs. Wang got up and followed Wang Xifeng to walk behind Jia Lian, lowering her head and asking in a low voice, "I heard that you have found a good doctor in Jiangnan for recuperation?"

"It's from my aunt's side. She said she was a doctor in the countryside. But after all, she has some skills. Even the Mr. Neifu Ling who lives in front of the government office thinks it's good. I brought it to Beijing. If my aunt wants to see , I can ask Uncle Lin about it." Wang Xifeng understood what Mrs. Wang meant when she heard the matter.There were times like this in previous lives.After visiting relatives in Yuanchun, Mrs. Wang privately tried to find a good doctor.Although it is not allowed to bring foreign medicines in the palace at present, Yuan Chun, who is a noble concubine, can still enjoy it by bringing a doctor in.But she didn't want to get involved in these things, so she pushed Lin Ruhai away.She knew her aunt, and she didn't need to do anything else to bring Lin Ruhai out, she would stop thinking about it in an instant.Coupled with the internal government order, it is estimated that I will not dare to think about it in the future.But she misjudged Mrs. Wang's heart for being the grandmother of the prince and princess.Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and thought for a long time before holding Wang Xifeng back when Wang Xifeng was about to leave the second door:

"You know that Lian'er and I and his aunt were a little unhappy before his aunt left the house. But right now, the empress... needs a child after all. I know you are good at doing things, and you told me about this matter. In the future If you have a son and a half daughter, it is also the honor of the family, isn't it?" She said the words sincerely, even with a sense of superiority.This made Wang Xifeng unhappy, but she didn't show it but agreed with a smile.Anyway, it's not her business whether to agree or not, she is just a messenger.
