[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Wang Xifeng usually listened to Jia Lian's talk a lot, and she subconsciously believed that the father had the final say on the child's gender, and she couldn't accept why she should blame the woman for the fault of not being able to give birth, so as soon as her mother said so, she immediately Just argue.

"How could anyone say that about a man?" Mrs. Wang wanted to teach her daughter a lesson, but usually she said that Feng'er and Jia Lian were too protective, but it seemed that she was unreasonable. Now she is too lazy to talk too much!

It's just that at this time she said that it was a bit rebellious, so she disagreed: "You don't have to be open-minded, don't you want to spread your reputation?"

Of course Wang Xifeng would not be outspoken outside, so she just dealt with it casually, and didn't want to argue too much with her mother.It happened that Jia Lian knew that her mother would come today, and before she left in the morning, she specially asked her to keep her mother at home for dinner, and also asked her eldest sister and sister Qiao to come over to accompany her grandmother.

So he changed the subject and asked the servant girl to find the two daughters.

Of course Mrs. Wang missed her granddaughter. When her daughter asked to keep a meal, she didn't shirk, she nodded and agreed directly, and regardless of the fact that she came to visit her daughter today, she wanted her to hurry up and call the two granddaughters. return.

As long as Wang Xifeng doesn't say a few words, it doesn't matter even if her status in the mother's heart has plummeted now, so she ordered the servant girl to look for it, and then said to her mother: "They are busier studying with the nanny than I am recently. Got some free time."

"It's hard work for such a small child!" Mrs. Wang heard that the two children's daily lessons were distressing, and she couldn't help complaining: "You parents are so cruel! The girls are so hard-working! What is the use of many books?"

Wang Xifeng's education since childhood is also that girls don't need to read too many books, as long as they can read a few words and read the account book.But these years of experience made her feel that this was not the case.

Coupled with the occasional chat with Sister-in-law Zhu, they were all taught that "a woman's ignorance is virtue", but in the end they all felt a little regretful that they didn't learn more, even if it wasn't for themselves, even if it was just for their husbands Godchild, the relationship between husband and wife must still have a common topic is even more extraordinary.

After all, not all the sons and daughters of officials and eunuchs grew up in rich and noble townships, but they are as upright as Jia Zhu and Jia Lian, and they are not good at women.

So Wang Xifeng said very rationally: "Every family has different rules for raising girls. The children are all taught by mothers and gentlemen from the palace. With such resources, why don't we just put them aside and use them?"

"Then, then there is no need for a little girl like Qiao to learn martial arts?" Mrs. Wang felt very inexplicable when she heard it. How can there be a serious lady who learns martial arts?

Don't talk about it, but when it comes to sister Qiao, Wang Xifeng gets even angrier, took a big bite of a pear, chewed it viciously and swallowed it, and then said: "I did it to make her slender, let's do this Our daughter can't learn to dance, can she? But she is lucky, because she is a little more active, she is hungry all day long, when will I, a mother, stop feeding her?"

"Children grow up. Now that they are fatter, it is better to take care of them. When they grow up, they will suffer from strokes. You are too anxious!"

Wang Xifeng looked at her mother with complicated eyes, "Are you sure she will have a stroke? Not..." Continue to gain weight?

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, thinking how she knew, but she just felt sorry for her granddaughter, but the girl had to be slender to look after her in the future. From now on, this little bit of hard work will be even more tormented.

So she couldn't chatter any more about this matter, and when the elder sister and sister Qiao came to hang around the grandmother, Mrs. Wang's attention was completely diverted, and Wang Xifeng also felt relieved.

But when she went back in the afternoon, Mrs. Wang still took out a child-seeking talisman from her waist and stuffed it into her daughter's hand, saying: "This is the talisman I got at the Huguo Temple as soon as I knew you were pregnant. Incense is also effective."

Wang Xifeng clenched the talisman in her hand tightly. Although she always felt that these things were useless in her heart, she felt her mother's heart, so she pursed her lips and asked, "Are you at home? Father..."

Mrs. Wang smiled heartily, with a tone of relief that had never been seen in many years, "I have a pair of good sons and daughters, your father just doesn't come to my place anymore, but I can live a more relaxed life, don't worry, with your brother Sister-in-law, mother is fine."

When her mother said this, Wang Xifeng was relieved a lot. Although her brother hadn't had much success in the past few years, he hadn't messed around anymore. The sister-in-law was filial and caring to her mother. Maybe her life would be fine without her father in front of her. Not sure...

It wasn't long before Mrs. Wang saw her daughter, and it was New Year's Eve. Wang Xifeng was pregnant. Although her belly was not obvious yet, everyone was taking care of her, so she wouldn't be tired easily.

Jia Lian's official position has a relatively high degree of freedom. To pass the time, he actually went to a few missionaries for advice, and he still has some foundation in this area, so his learning speed is much faster than ordinary people.

Those few missionaries were astonished as heavenly beings without knowing the truth, and they would inadvertently praise them inadvertently when they interacted with dignitaries. Jia Lian felt a little ashamed and flustered when he heard the straightforwardness of their words, let alone outsiders. Maybe he really thinks that Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion is extremely talented in language!

Jia Lian felt a little helpless about this, and it was alright for his Shangguan to look optimistic about him, but Wang Xifeng, mother and daughter had surprised and adoring eyes after hearing about it, and he couldn't say it even if he was passing the time.

After being framed for a while, he was still almost willing to be a duck to be framed. Jia Lian also had to be more careful, at least for the sake of being a father and a husband.

Years later, Jia Lian tried to translate books for the first time, but he didn't let others know about it, he just tried it in private, from the beginning.

But others could hide it, but Wang Xifeng couldn't. Within a few days, she noticed what Jia Lian was doing in the study, and after asking casually, she learned that Jia Lian was doing translation.

A little curious, he leaned over to glance at his manuscript, it happened to be a dialogue, the hero confessed passionately to the heroine, and the words were so explicit that Wang Xifeng immediately frowned, "Can't you find some serious scripts? "

Jia Lian looked up at the piece of paper Wang Xifeng was holding, thinking that she hadn't seen anything more explicit, after all, some parts were no different from some colored text.

It's just that he doesn't think it's necessary for Wang Xifeng to see this kind of thing, which is not conducive to prenatal education.So he put down the brush and took out the piece of paper from her hand, explaining: "I don't know what's in this book, I can't get past halfway through the translation."

Wang Xifeng still felt a little disgusted, so she stayed away and stopped being curious.

Jia Lian looked at it, smiled and shook his head and said, "It's all about practice. After I become proficient, I will definitely try other things. But the premise is of course my interest, after all, there is no money to make."

"But I heard that if you are really talented, you may be able to enter Honglu Temple in the future..." Wang Xifeng definitely hoped that Jia Lian would go up, but now she also feels that she can let nature take its course. Of course, caring still needs to be I care about it.

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it that much."

Jia Lian glanced at the time. At this time, Wang Xifeng came because it was time to go for a walk, so she stood up and ordered the maid to help Wang Xifeng get dressed, and the two of them walked in the corridor.

His hand was always protecting Wang Xifeng's waist, and he blocked it a little when the wind came. The maids followed behind and saw the second master's movement, and they all covered their mouths and smiled.

"Sister-in-law Zhu also said today that Baochai hasn't left the house for several days because of the draft."

After Xue's family moved into Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian did not pay attention to it deliberately. At this time, when Wang Xifeng mentioned the matter of the draft, he asked curiously: "Did the draft not go well?"

Wang Xifeng nodded, "Brother Zhu said long ago that Baochai's selection might not be possible because of Xue Pan, but my aunt didn't believe it, so she really wasn't selected."

Since it was because of Xue Pan, Jia Lian didn't find it strange, "It is a fact that Xue Pan indulged slaves in committing crimes. Although it can be wiped out with power, if the palace is not properly organized, it will definitely not work."

"My aunt spent a lot of money to manage it."

"In the case of Xue's family, Xue Pan is easy to hold back. Even if it is hard to guarantee that there will be another day of explosion, Baochai's marriage is actually not easy to handle."

Xue Baochai's character and talent are not bad, not to mention his generous personality, and smooth handling of things. If he is not dragged down by his family, there must be too many people who want to get married, but it is a pity...

Wang Xifeng has a good impression of the girls in her family. Whether it is Yingchun Tanchun or Daiyu Baochai, sometimes she feels that they are not as good as they are, but this world is unfair to women.

But when it comes to marriage, Wang Xifeng suddenly remembered, "Yingchun is not too young, and my parents have never mentioned any arrangements for her marriage. Shouldn't they be getting ready?"

Jia Lian's footsteps paused after hearing this, Wang Xifeng didn't say he would have forgotten, this year of cardamom is the time to make an appointment for Yingchun, but no one in the family has mentioned it, and I don't know if the child will be a little uneasy.

"Time flies so fast..." Wang Xifeng sighed, Yuan Chun was not very big when she married in, and now, it has been almost ten years since she married Jia Lian...

Hearing her emotion, Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng's mature but still pretty face, raised his index finger knuckles to rub against her delicate face, and said, "It's only when we recall the past that we feel that time flies. Decades!"

Wang Xifeng held Jia Lian's hand in his hand, with gentle eyes, and said to him with a smile, "I'm afraid I don't have enough time with you..."
