The Kangping Life of Mrs. Xing in Honglou

The moment Yingchun nodded, Jia Amnesty's breathing intensified suddenly, and he picked up the teacup on the table and was about to throw it to the ground. Xing Yue hurriedly grabbed his hand and snatched the teacup to comfort him, so that he would not explode, and reminded in a low voice: " Master, this is the yard of the old lady, besides, Lian'er is getting married soon, and they are just a few slaves, so the master doesn't need to be so angry." Feeling Jia She's hand clenched into a fist and slowly relaxing, Xing Yue said let it go.

"Girl Ying, your father will decide this matter for you. Now that your elder brother is getting married, after this period of time, your father will definitely give you an explanation. Cui Liu, since the second girl's servant has been transferred to help elsewhere, you Let's stay and take care of her for a few days." Although Mrs. Xing has enough reasons not to treat Yingchun kindly, but Xing Yue, who came as a rebirth, couldn't bear to see a four or five-year-old girl being abused.These two girls are only seven or eight years old, that is, they have just entered the mansion as errands, if something really happens, these two little girls are fine, it's better to leave the stable Cui Liu to take care of them.

"What's your name? Who are your parents? When did you work in the mansion?" Xing Yue asked the two little girls who were still kneeling.

"Returning to Madam, the servant girl is the third daughter of the gardener Zhao Qing, named Jiu'er, she is seven years old this year, and she entered the mansion last year as a servant." said the girl who just exposed the evil in the Yingchun House.

"The maidservant is called Xiaohui, and her family is poor. In order to treat her mother, the family sold the maidservant. She is also seven years old this year, and she entered the mansion last year as a servant." The crying little girl said with choked sobs.

"Both of you get up, and serve the girl with all your heart from now on, master, do you think we should go to Xitang to have a look." Mrs. Xing reminded Jia She to leave.

Jia She was silent for a while, didn't say anything, got up and left, Xing Yue told Cui Liu to serve the second girl wholeheartedly, and taught the two little girls by the way, then left and followed Jia She Rongxi Hall.

Jia She looked at the newly-arranged Rongxi Hall, and couldn't help but think of the scene of his big wedding back then. Back then, he was also the mother of Lian'er who married again, and now Lian'er is also getting married here. Gone.

Xing Yue is looking around at the main house of Rongguo Mansion. In Mrs. Xing's memory, she has hardly been here. When she married, Jia Amnesty had already lived in the garden partition. Greetings from my wife, the number of visits to the main house where she should live is rare, which is one of the reasons why she and Mrs. Wang are not dealing with each other.

Different from the cleanliness of the Yingchun place, here the slaves and maidservants came in and out, and it was very lively. Knowing that Jia She and Xing Yue were coming, Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng greeted them from the residence.

"Brother, sister-in-law, what's wrong with you two coming here?" Mrs. Wang didn't show much respect to Jia She and his wife.

"Your brother and sister are out of touch. The two of us came here to see Xitang. After all, Lian'er is the eldest son of the eldest family that our master values ​​most. I'm not in good health these days, so I can't come and see it in person. Today, I'm in good health." , come over with the master to have a look, and trouble the second brother and younger siblings to show us." Xing Yue was not polite to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang secretly resented that she treated me like a maid. Because of Jia Zheng's presence, she held back her anger and led the two of them to look around. Xing Yue had never taken care of the marriage, and didn't know much about the arrangement, so she kept her clumsiness. Speak easily.

After a circle, several people came to the small hall to sit down. Jia Zheng asked: "Brother and sister-in-law, you are satisfied with it. If there is anything wrong, I will let the servants correct it." He said in his mouth Looking at the eldest brother and sister-in-law, in fact, they only listened to Jia She's opinion, completely ignoring the existence of Xing Yue. In fact, everyone knew that Mrs. Xing was an independent person, and Jia She had to deal with the affairs of the house and dared not say a word.

"I'm sorry, brother and sister. I see that everything is in order, so I'm waiting for Lian'er to visit." Jia Amnesty picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

"The master is right. This time it is really thanks to my younger siblings. I was born in a small family. Although I have not been involved in the wedding ceremony of the eldest grandson of the Duke's family, I heard that there are many rules. Lian'er's marriage is orderly. It can be seen that the younger siblings are excellent housekeepers. Here, the master and I thanked the younger siblings first, and our master said that after Lian'er's marriage is over, let Lian'er bring his daughter-in-law to kowtow to thank the second younger sibling." Xing Yue said with a smile .

"Brother and sister-in-law are too polite. This is the duty that should be done. How can I thank you like a brother and sister-in-law." Jia Zheng said.

The few people were polite again, and Xing Yuefang said: "Sisters and sisters, there is one thing, I have to tell my brothers and sisters, Lian'er's marriage is busy, so there must not be enough servants, so it is appropriate to second servants from various places. Yingchun is a girl from the big house, so she should be in charge, but just now at the old lady's place, my master and I went to see Yingchun, only two seven-year-old girls were left to serve, and I heard that my younger siblings were transferred to other places to help , brother and sister are also true, this mansion is short of manpower, you tell me and the master that there are not many slaves in the big house, but they can still send some people to help, how can we only leave two useless little girls to look after Ying girl, when my master and I went, we happened to see Ying girl fell off the bed. Our master's heart was in his throat. Fortunately, these two girls were loyal and rescued in time, so there was no trouble. We The master is angry with the boss and wants to sell out those unscrupulous slaves, our eldest house is just such a precious daughter, if there is something good or bad, what shall we do?" Xing Yue's singing and writing are excellent He said, implying that Mrs. Wang treated her niece harshly.

"Mr. Wang, what the sister-in-law said, please explain to me clearly." Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang with a straight face when he heard it.

"Master, Eldest Master, Eldest Wife, how is this possible? I know about the second-class maids and women who are seconded to meet the maids. I only transferred two second-class maids and two coarse envoys. How could there be only two young maids to serve you? These slaves are lazy, they are busy preparing for Lian'er's wedding, and neglect to discipline the slaves in the mansion. I will let people take down these slaves, and let the seconded slaves go back to work, sir. What do you think, Master and Madam?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly complained and exposed herself in front of her master. Jia Zheng's face was already livid, and he looked at himself unkindly.

Mrs. Wang scolded Xing Yue to death in her heart. She knew about the transfer of Yingchun's maid and mother-in-law. She left behind a big maid, a nanny, two maids and two little maids to serve her. Why did she only stay Served by two little girls aged seven or eight, these slaves really deserve to die.And what Xing Yue said nicely, when did your eldest wife care about Yingchun, what kind of a good person is she at this moment, if the eldest master didn't see it together, you would be so active in dealing with it, and the slaves who were transferred to serve by the eldest house were not for the sake of Do things for the big room.

"Master, look, let me just say that my brother and sister have always been considerate people. How could they transfer so many slaves? It must be that gang of slaves who cheated and played tricks and didn't devote themselves to taking care of my sister. This Lian'er is getting married and there is a shortage of manpower in the mansion. The big house should send people to help, but now the work of the servants must have been assigned, let them go back to serve, then let them continue to do the work, welcome the girl, I will let Cui Liu take care of it for a few minutes My God, as for those who steal and play tricks, let's deal with it after Lian'er's marriage. Brothers and sisters, let me tell you, this housekeeper is not good at being soft-hearted, and the slaves in this mansion will be lazy and play tricks. If you can neglect your sister today, you may tomorrow If you don't serve Baoyu wholeheartedly, you should strictly discipline your servants, second brother and sister, I won't talk to you, the master and I have to go to see Lian'er's wedding room, so don't bother me." In Xing Yue's words It's too much to run on Mrs. Wang. Jia Lian's marriage is a matter of the big house. If you want to transfer people to the big house, you won't say anything, but it's too much to transfer the people around Yingchun. What about the people around your phoenix egg? He didn't move, and at the same time satirized the housekeeper of the second wife, who was easily fooled by the servants.

"Sister-in-law said that the slaves will be strictly disciplined in the future." Mrs. Wang could only swallow this bad breath in front of her master.

After Xing Yue and Jia Amnesty left, Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang with a sullen face and said, "Tell me, what's going on?" To do such a thing as mistreatment of a niece.

"My lord, I'm wronged. I really don't know the truth. I'm busy with Lian'er's marriage these days, so I can't help but ignore Yingchun. Besides, Yingchun lives with the old lady and is taken care of by the old lady. How can I intervene?" Yes." He hurriedly knelt down in front of Jia Zheng to cry for grievances, hating Xing Yue and Yingchun to death.

Jia Zheng looked at Mrs. Wang who was crying on the ground, she didn't seem to be lying, so he said: "Brother and sister-in-law don't say anything, but they don't think so in their hearts. Put those slaves who are stealing, raping, and slipping into custody, and wait for Lian'er." Send them out together after the happy event." Although Jia Zheng is pedantic, it's not that he doesn't understand the world at all, otherwise he wouldn't be so fond of his parents.

Jia Amnesty and Xing Yue returned to the big house in sedan chairs, and the journey was full of lights and festoons, which was very lively.

The two went to see Jia Lian's wedding room. The Xikua Courtyard was not the same as the Dongkua Courtyard where Xing Yue lived, but there was no East Wing, and there were three West Wings. Now they were all decorated with lights and festoons, and the decoration was very festive.

The wedding room is arranged in the main landlord's room, which used to be Jia Lian's residence. Now Jia Lian moves to live in the study in the west room, and then moves back to the room after the wedding.

In the Xikuan courtyard, Jia She and Jia Lian were talking. When Xing Yue saw Jia Lian for the first time, he looked like a suave and suave young man, very handsome, and he looked exactly like Jia She, with white face and red lips. , with a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes, wearing a blue brocade robe, which looks even more noble, completely unable to see the lustful and indulgent appearance mentioned in the book, respecting Jia She, and daring not to show any appearance of being clever .

It is said that ancient times paid attention to strict fathers and loving mothers, and fathers played a black-faced and stern role in children's education, and this Rongguo Mansion is no exception. The men in this Rongguo Mansion are very afraid of their own fathers. In Mrs. Xing's memory, this The appearance is better. When Jia Lian saw Jia She when he was a child, he didn't dare to show his anger. Jia Zhu was also very respectful to Jia Zheng. Jia Baoyu was so scared to death when he saw Jia Zheng that he was like a rat and a cat. Xing Yue couldn't help laughing. Voice.

Both father and son looked over when they heard the sound, and saw Xing Yue's flowery smile, "Father and son are really interesting, I said, master, don't be too strict with Lian'er, I don't know who valued his son so much, Over the years, how many slaves have been sent out who have not served you wholeheartedly to seduce the men, and Lian'er, is your father a beast? You are the master's son, and she can eat you. They all say that Lian'er is flexible and eloquent. How come I can't see you here?" In Madam Xing's memory, Jia Amnesty valued Jia Lian very much. He didn't care about everything on the surface, and he didn't know how many slaves he had dealt with in private. Training.

Mrs. Xing's memory of Jia She is somewhat contradictory. She obviously likes children very much, but she is not close to them. She adopts a free-ranging attitude, and she doesn't care about them on the surface. She disposes of those neglected servants in private, and Mrs. Xing knows this. , I have very high expectations for having parents and children, pointing to having parents and children, so that I can win the kindness of the master.

Let Xing Yue see, this Mrs. Xing is stupid, she only wants to give birth to her own children, she doesn't have her own, and treats Jia She's other children kindly. Can Jia She, who loves children, treat her differently?

After hearing Mrs. Xing's words, Jia Amnesty couldn't keep his face off. He glared at Xing Yue bitterly, cleared his throat uncomfortably, gave Jia Lian a few casual instructions, and left without turning his head. When he passed by Xing Yue, he stared again. Glancing at her, Xing Yue didn't say anything, just smiled around her head, and followed Jia She to leave the Xikua courtyard, leaving Jia Lian in a daze.

Jia Lian was shocked when he heard Xing Yue's words. He grew up in front of the old lady since he was a child, and he didn't spend much time with his father. He had the impression that his father didn't care about him, and he only said a few words when he met him. Be filial to the old lady and ask him about his homework. Later, seeing that he is not good at reading, he simply didn't ask about his homework when we met.

His impressions of his father are all from the mouth of the maid and the old lady, saying that his father is only greedy and lustful, and he doesn't care about everything, and because he was born to control his mother, he dislikes him very much, or else he doesn't like him. I will ignore it, but now that I think about it, as Xing Yue said, those servants who did not treat him wholeheartedly and said behind his back that he was Kemu were all kicked out because of other mistakes. His father was not as serious as he showed. don't like him.

Then why did his father order him the niece of the second housekeeper's wife as his wife?It seems that there is no deep meaning.
