The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

Xing Yue took Yingchun to sit in the house and read characters. She occasionally raised her head and looked at the pomegranate flowers in full bloom outside the window. She has been here for more than a year.

Yingchun looked at her mother looking at the pomegranate flowers in a daze, she called out a few times but there was no answer, she just shook Xing Yue's sleeves, this more than a year was enough to turn a timid and introverted girl into a smile Bright little girl.

Xing Yue recovered from Yingchun's shaking, and heard Yingchun's "Mom" and "Mom". Xing Yue picked up the three big characters written by Yingchun on the table, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yingchun, your writing has improved compared to what you wrote before. I learned it here today. Let's go sit outside." After that, he took Yingchun to the stone chair outside the house and sat down. The mother and daughter ate fruit and chatted, living an incomparably comfortable and leisurely life for a while.

How much Xing Yue wants to have such a comfortable life in the future, without so many bad things, but it's a pity that such a life is really hard to find.Ever since Dong Mansion came back, Xing Yue has been restless in her heart, worrying all day that something went wrong in Ningguo Mansion, and marrying Qin Keqing who caused trouble again.

She can't run to the East Mansion either, the East Mansion will be out of service soon, it will be unlucky for her to go again, even though they are relatives, what should be avoided and what should be avoided.As soon as he thought of this, Dong Mansion sent someone to say that Mrs. You was coming.The corners of Xing Yue's mouth curled up involuntarily, this really came to her door, just as she wanted.

You and Mrs. Xing have the same fate, and they can talk about it together. They are both stepwives. They have married into their husband's family for many years and have nothing to do. They are not valued by their husbands. The difference is that You's father is still alive. Youshi still has a backing, young and young, in his twenties, nearly ten years younger than Xing Yue, married into the Jia family at the age of 15, and has the opportunity to have children.

Xing Yue had already asked people to prepare melons, fruits and snacks, and also called Wang Xifeng to accompany her.After a few people greeted each other politely, Xing Yue asked: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, why are you free to come over today? The East Mansion should be removed in a few days."

"I came here with my wife. Our wife and the old lady have something to say, so I'll come to you." You Shi said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, our wife thought that you came to see her specially. After receiving the post, I asked people to prepare carefully and specially made your favorite snacks. It seems that it was a waste of time. I dare not have a place to go, so I went to see her." We come here to eat and drink." Wang Xifeng joked with a smile.

"You're right, I'm just here to eat and drink, my aunt doesn't dislike it, so what can you do?" Youshi answered casually.

"Yes, you are really cheeky and shameless, eat it, eat it, this is a new snack made by the chef, it is called lotus cake, and it is made of lotus flowers, try it and see how it tastes." Wang Xifeng spat and smiled Said.

"This snack is good, and it tastes refreshing. It's suitable for summer." You Shi tasted a piece and said.

"Since you like it, someone will copy the prescription and take it back later." Xing Yue said with a smile, "By the way, Rong'er and Qiang'er's daughter-in-law, are you sure about it?" If you are convinced, you have to prepare to discuss marriage. I am afraid that this time I am here to tell the old lady.

"I've already made an agreement with the woman's family, and I'll invite the Iceman to propose marriage after I take the clothes off." Youshi said after taking a sip of tea.

"Which family is the girl from?" Xing Yue asked curiously, but they were all worried, waiting for You Shi's answer.

"Auntie's vision is good. Both of them are her favorites. Rong'er is the eldest daughter Liu Tongyun of Mr. Liu Yan's family selected by Rong'er, and Qiang'er is Du Ruoxuan, the second-in-law daughter of Du Qifang, who is a fifth-grade dignitary. Someone quietly combined the horoscope, which matches Rong'er and Qiang'er very well." Youshi said with a smile.

Xing Yue thought about it in her mind, one is the eldest daughter of Zheng Wupin family, and the other is the second daughter of Cong Wupin family. , Xing Yue was happy.

"That's really congratulations to you all. When will you get engaged?" Xing Yue can rest assured only when it's settled early.

"Auntie is in a hurry, how can it be so fast, I invite the Iceman to come to propose marriage, discuss marriage, ask names, it will take more than a month after all." Youshi said with a smile after taking a bite of his snack.

"It's better to order the daughter of this good family early. A family of daughters, hundreds of families are begging. I heard that there are many people in Beijing who want to marry these two families. I heard that the family of the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment intends to marry the concubine of his family." Mrs. Liu’s daughter, it’s better to book this marriage as soon as possible.” Apart from teaching Yingchun to read, do needlework, and read books, Xing Yue has nothing else to do. After hearing the news, she paid more attention to the family selected by Mrs. Xu, so she naturally knew the news.

Mrs. You went back and told Mrs. Xu about what Xing Yue said, and when Mrs. Xu was satisfied, she sent someone to propose a marriage. Within half a month, Jia Rong's marriage was settled, and a month later, Jia Qiang's marriage was finalized. Also settled down.When Xing Yue heard the news, the big stone in his heart fell slightly. I am afraid that the big stone in Xing Yue's heart could not be completely let go until Jia Rong actually got married.

One day, Xing Yue went to greet the old lady and came back. She suddenly wanted to go for a walk, so she got off the car on the way. Taking advantage of the cool weather in the early morning, she went for a walk in the garden. After walking a few steps, she heard a child crying. Heartbroken, Xing Yue hurriedly took people over to have a look. Behind a rockery, a child in sackcloth was crying sadly, and there was no one else around.

"Isn't that Mr. Huan, why is he here?" Zizhu immediately recognized the child as Jia Huan, but why did Jia Huan come here? This place is very far away from where he lives.

This year, during the Chinese New Year, Xing Yue took a look at Jia Huan from a distance. She really didn't know what Jia Huan looked like.

Xing Yue looked at the wailing child who couldn't say enough, wearing sackcloth and covered in grass all over his body, and looked around to see that there was no maidservant looking after him, and then thought of Jia who was surrounded by more than a dozen maids. Baoyu couldn't help feeling pity for Jia Huan. They were both Jia Zheng's sons, but because one was a legitimate son and the other was a concubine, they were treated very differently.

Zizhu and a little maid had already picked up the little man and checked the side up and down, except for a lump the size of a walnut on the head, there were also some scratches on the arms, which was caused by a fall.

"Huan'er, tell Auntie, why are you here?" Xing Yue took the dirty boy from Zi Zhu's hands, wiped his cat-like face with a handkerchief, and asked softly, revealing a good-looking face that was more delicate than a girl's.

"Hungry, Auntie, look for..." The child was not very good at speaking, Xing Yue guessed that Jia Huan was probably hungry, so he came out to look for Aunt Zhao, but unexpectedly, he ran to a place where there were few people, and even fell down on his head. There were injuries all over his body, and those who were in pain and hungry just huddled there and cried.

"Huan'er is hungry. Auntie will take you to have some snacks. Zi Zhu, send a little girl to inform Aunt Zhao that Huan'er has been taken to the main room by me. I will send her back to her later." Xing Yue hugged He got Jia Huan into the car, and took out the digestible snacks on the car for Jia Huan to eat.

Seeing Jia Huan devouring the snacks, it seemed that the child might be starving, so he took out a glass of water and fed it to him, so as not to swallow the snacks too dry.

Back in the big room, Xing Yue asked someone to cook gruel, changed Jia Huan's clothes, gave medicine, and asked someone to bring Brother Cong over and play with the two children.

The two children were only a few months apart, and it was just right for them to play together. Jia Huan smiled brightly, and completely forgot the sad thing about crying just now. Xing Yue watched the two of them play well. Turning around, I had an idea.

After the two children greeted Jia Amnesty, Xing Yue sent them to play in Yingchun's house.

"That's brother Huan from the second younger brother's family, why are you here?" There were only two young masters of the same age in the Rongguo Mansion, who called him uncle, and he knew who was which without thinking.

"I greeted the old lady back today. I ran into him on the way. I was crying, and there was no one around, and I was injured. I looked pitiful. Thinking that Brother Cong didn't have any playmates, I just went Brought it back, the two brothers played well." Xing Yue said looking at the two children playing together.

As soon as Jia She heard it, he knew what was going on, and he looked down on Wang Shi even more in his heart, but after all, he was a younger sister-in-law, and he was a big man who couldn't talk in front of his daughter-in-law, so he didn't say anything.

"Master, I think it's better for you to tell your second brother to let Brother Huan send us here on weekdays to play with Brother Cong. There are only two children in our room, Brother Cong and Yingchun. Yingchun is going to school. I can't stay with Brother Cong all day, Brother Cong is alone, why not take Brother Huan over and be with him." Xing Yue's abacus beads are very loud, and it is beneficial to take over Jia Huan , if Jia Huan is taught well, it will be even more maddening to Mrs. Wang, isn't your Mrs. Wang just looking down on your concubine?

Jia She glanced at Xing Yue, knowing the dirty relationship between her and Wang, he neither agreed nor objected.He doesn't pay much attention to a nephew from a concubine, but this Wang family has done too much. This concubine is also the child of the second brother and the master of the mansion. How can he let these slaves bully him?

burden.

"Ma'am, Yun Xiang wrote a letter saying that he has set off with his family, counting the time, he should arrive in a few days, you send a few people to tidy up Yun Xiang's house, so that they can live in it." Jia She explained the purpose of coming to Xing Yue.

"My aunt and grandma's family is coming back. Don't worry, master. I will send someone to clean up the house right away." Xing Yue had a very good impression of Li Yunxiang, so he naturally wanted to help. She has been married for many years and has never met, Xing Yue thinks that she must be a good mother if she can teach such an outstanding son as Yun Xiang.

At dusk, watching the two children doze off, Xing Yue asked someone to pack a large bag of snacks and a few toys, and sent Brother Huan back to Aunt Zhao.By the way, when Aunt Zhao came back from Mrs. Wang's place, she didn't see her son. After asking all the women and girls who were serving her, she found that her precious son had been lost by the girl, and she was in a panic sending someone to look for her. I got the news that the eldest wife took Jia Huan to the eldest room.

She didn't see her son, and Aunt Zhao was restless for the next whole day. In the middle of the afternoon, she stretched her neck and waited for Xing Yue to send the child back. It was not until evening that she felt relieved when she saw her son.

"Aunt Zhao, my wife asked me to spread the word that the second wife is kind and put this brother Huan by your side to raise, so you should be more careful, how can you let Brother Huan walk around alone?" A second-class girl who came up, named Yunxia, ​​told Aunt Zhao what happened today in a few words in a few words, so as not to do a good job, but to complain, and blamed Jia Huan's injury on Dafang.

In the evening, it happened that Jia Zheng was resting in Aunt Zhao's room. After listening to Aunt Zhao's crying and seeing the injuries on Jia Huan's head and body, he remembered that in the evening, the elder brother sent someone to send Jia Huan to him on weekdays. If Jia Cong was a companion, it must be that the eldest brother knew about today's events, and was so angry that he didn't fall asleep for half the night. The next day, he gave Mrs. Wang a shameful meal and had a violent fit.

Mrs. Wang was puzzled at first, so she asked people to inquire about it, and only then did she know what happened yesterday, and her teeth itch with hatred in her heart, wishing she could eat Xing Yue, that bitch and that bitch.

When Xing Yue heard the movement of the second room, she just smiled and put her hand away, she was busy.In the next few days, Xing Yue took people to Li Yunxiang's house. It was cleaned inside and out, and it was carefully arranged. Then, thinking that the aunt's family didn't know the news of Zhu'er's death, they went to the house. Then he asked the needleworker to make two sets of plain clothes for the family according to Li Yunxiang's description, so as not to go to the old lady's place to be picked on.

When it came time for Yunxiang's family to go to Beijing, Jia Amnesty sent the housekeeper and Wang Baoshan's family to pick them up, sent them to Li's house, gave the plain clothes to everyone, and told the news of Jia Zhu's death and Li Wan's pregnancy. Li Yunxiang's family, let them have a psychological preparation.

On the second day, the family came wearing plain clothes. Xing Yueguan and Li Yunxiang's personality followed that of his aunt. Due to the loss of her husband in the early years, the aunt's face was a bit old, but she was very energetic and well-dressed.Although Li Yunxiang's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Chen, is only from a scholar's family, and she is not very good-looking, but even when she meets Jia's mother, she is generous and decent, and she is not afraid of hands and feet. She seems to be a good match for Yunxiang.My niece, Li Yunfei, looks like her great aunt, and she was also raised pampered, pretty and lovely.

What Xing Yue likes and teases the most is Li Yunxiang's eldest son, four-year-old Li Tianyou. Like the aunt, she stretched out her sinful hand and pinched his little face.

In the end, it was changed back to the sentence: "A man and a woman can't kiss each other." The room was silent for a while, and then the whole room burst into laughter.

Xing Yue picked up Li Tianyou, and said: "Little guy, how old are you, you know that men and women can't bear to kiss each other." As he said, he left a loud kiss on his face, changing back to the little guy's face. Disgusted by this, the whole room roared with laughter again.

However, Mrs. Wang is not included in the laughter of the crowd. Mrs. Wang is not pleasing to the eyes of Li Yunxiang. It is also a scientific examination. , leaving the widow, if she hadn't been pregnant with the last bit of flesh and blood left by Pearl, she would have let that whore die.

Li Yunxiang also repayed his kindness, and asked his daughter-in-law to visit Li Wan on a special trip, and taught Li Wan a lot of precautions during pregnancy.
