Wang Xifeng's Rebirth [Red Mansion]
Chapter 097
Is there someone from Rongxi Hall?
Wang Xifeng subconsciously looked at Jia Lian who was lying on the kang, but saw that Jia Lian had already half-raised herself, looking back at her blankly: "It's so early in the morning, what is she trying to do?"
What else can't we avoid?Wang Xifeng spread his hands helplessly, and said loudly to the outside: "Feng'er, please invite people in quickly." Then he whispered to Jia Lian, "Second Master Lian, do you want to go and have a look?"
Jia Lian didn't even think about it, so he shook his head instinctively, and said, "You are sleepy, tired and hungry, why bother with all this? It's not that her second wife came here in person." The left and right are just messengers, and Jia Lian thinks that there is nothing wrong with her. It is necessary to lick your face and move forward.Apparently, Wang Xifeng's thoughts were similar to his, but besides being the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, she was also Wang Xifeng's natal aunt, so she couldn't just leave Rongxitang alone like this.So Wang Xifeng adjusted her makeup a bit, then lifted the curtain and went outside.
In the main hall, Feng'er was pouring tea for the visitors with a smile, but the smile looked a bit creepy, Wang Xifeng looked at it straight, and couldn't laugh out loud, and said: "This is... It looks a little strange."
"I've seen Second Mistress Lian, and the slave girl Huazan greeted Second Mistress Lian." The person who came was none other than Huazan who had just climbed up to Mrs. Wang's side.
Wang Xifeng heard the words and took a closer look, but saw that the man in front of him looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although his appearance was not very outstanding, he could be seen to be a steady and smart person. He looked a bit like the late Jin Chuan. Only a little bit of self-confidence is missing.So he said with a smile: "Is that the hairpin? I guess it's the maid who was just promoted by the second wife? It looks good, Feng'er, don't go and get a reward."
Feng'er resigned with a smile, and I don't know if Wang Xifeng was overwhelmed, or because of other reasons, Wang Xifeng always felt that there was something wrong with Feng'er at this size.Just thinking about it, the flower hairpin in front of her waved her hands again and again and said: "Second Grandma Lian praised you absurdly, but I don't dare to be a flower hairpin."
The reward came very quickly, and Huazan still wanted to decline, but Wang Xifeng said: "It's a big Chinese New Year, it's not fun to push the fortune outside, you just keep it." Seeing Huazan put away the purse, the smile on Wang Xifeng's face became even stronger He said again, "Why did the second wife call you here specially? But you want me to go and see her? Then wait a minute, I will let you go there."
"No no, Second Grandma Lian, please stop busy work. My wife asked me to come and see grandma specially. She just said that I didn't see her yesterday. I was afraid that grandma might have something to do here. And I found some things because of the new year's packing. The old things, my wife said that grandma once mentioned that she liked those things, so the servants brought them here together." Huazan smiled all over her face, as if she was afraid that Wang Xifeng would blame her.
"Please worry about it, madam, I have nothing to do here."
"Then grandma, you should just take a rest. The maidservants are going back to Rongxi hall first. Let me go." Huazan came and walked even faster. As for the so-called gift, Wang Xifeng never even saw it.
After Huazan left, Wang Xifeng suddenly remembered this, and looked at Feng'er.But Feng'er curled her lips, and said with some displeasure: "Grandma, the gift is placed outside in the concierge, and it is said to be too heavy for her to carry alone, and it's not good for the rough envoy to pollute our place." Son."
This sounded like an excuse.But Wang Xifeng suddenly became interested, and asked Feng'er and Zijuan to carry the small box in together.The box did come in, but Feng'er said disdainfully: "Where is it heavy? The person in front of the second wife is hypocritical." She glanced at the box again, and said slightly dissatisfied, "Why don't you pick a better looking one?" The box? It’s so old, it looks like it’s been used for many years.”
Wang Xifeng stepped forward to have a closer look, she burst out laughing, she just pointed at Feng'er and said, "Don't you recognize the good stuff? So what if it's old? It's a brocade box with sunflower petals, and it has been used for many years. I remember that this should be the dowry of the second wife. As for this... probably it is also a dowry."
The sunflower petal colored brocade box is a jewelry box, of course it is not unnecessary to put it aside, but if it is an old item, Mrs. Wang would not bother to toss it.Besides, with what the flower hairpin said just now, Wang Xifeng could almost guess what was inside.However, even so, when Zijuan stepped forward to open it, Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you so happy? Don't make your stomach hurt from laughing." Jia Lian waited in the inner room, but Wang Xifeng still didn't come back, and there was no sign of the breakfast that was called earlier.That's not enough, but someone came to make him a pot of hot tea, without saying anything, there was still the smell of Qiaojie's milk in the room, and Wang Xifeng's signature laughter came from outside.Come on, Jia Lian can't sit still at all.
"Second Master Lian, come over quickly and have a look, our second wife is a second person!"
Can it be bad?In the past, when Mrs. Wang gave gifts, no matter whether it was for her superiors or as a reward for her subordinates, most of them took the route of giving light gifts and emphasizing affection.For example, if you give it to Jiamu, you can either do the needlework with your own hands, or copy the Buddhist scriptures yourself, or you can string a string of Buddhist beads to Jiamu yourself.For another example, most of the objects rewarded to servants are so-called decent, like the old clothes worn by the master, with more than half of the facial fat and hair oil used, or one or two dishes, snacks, etc. Not new, but eaten a few bites.
Things like this one, even though they are old things, are worth as much as new ones... for the first time in decades!
"What do you mean?" Jia Lian leaned over and took a look, his face was livid.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Xifeng rushed to him to coax him, and couldn't help laughing: "Second Master Lian, please don't be annoyed, Second Wife will never neglect to give me old things. If you think about it carefully, this red gold jewelry is different from the other items. Even if it is worn out, it will not lose half of its weight, and it is still valuable. Besides, our old master gave me a lot earlier. thing?"
"Then what's the difference?" Jia Lian was never persuaded by Wang Xifeng at all, but said bitterly, "The identities of the elder master and the second wife are different. Besides, although the things sent by the elder master are vulgar and rustic, they are not He used it. Also, since the Elder Master is a man, how can he know what kind of gift is suitable? The Eldest Wife is useless, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to persuade her at all. After a pause, Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng worriedly, and said, "Brother Feng, will you be angry when the old man gave you those items earlier?"
"Me? Why?"
"Gold and silver jewelry are terribly bulky, not delicate and small at all. The decorations look expensive, but which one can be displayed? If it is really displayed, I'm afraid we just shut the door and thank the guests. I really can't afford to lose this People! Not to mention the others."
Wang Xifeng originally wanted to show Jia Lian some face, so she could only hold back her smile, but in the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and laughed outright.Just fearing that Jia Lian would lose face in front of the maid, Wang Xifeng ordered Zijuan to tidy up her things. Feng'er went outside to see that the breakfast was ready, and she herself took Jia Lian into the inner room and explained the reason in detail.
"Second Master Lian, I only thought that Baoyu was raised stupid. He only learned the so-called elegance and nobility, but forgot the most important things of gold and silver. I never thought that Second Master Lian would do the same."
Jia Lian looked at her puzzled.
In desperation, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to explain to him little by little.Let me talk about Jia Amnesty first, he sent those gifts out of good intentions.Jia She was originally a stingy guy, just look at Mrs. Xing and you will know that he is not short of money, but Mrs. Xing can only live on the monthly allowance, and often does not even have good clothes. Not to mention hairpin jewelry.It doesn't matter if Jia She has no money, but the whole Rongguo Mansion knows that Jia She got his grandmother's private house.
The mother of Jia Daishan is also the wife of Jia Yuan, the first Duke of Rong. Jia Yuan was bestowed the title of Duke of Rong by a sage for his military exploits.His wife is a super high-ranking wife, who has been in charge of the housekeeper for decades, three festivals and two birthdays every year, ice and charcoal respect are by no means small sums, plus the rewards from above over the years, all belong to Jia She.Speaking of this matter, there was still a lawsuit back then, but it was off-topic, so it's worth not mentioning it.
But it is said that Jia She, who has money, has become more and more stingy.This point is also inseparable from the teaching of Jia Yuan's wife when she was a child.In a word, Jia She is extremely stingy and cannot easily get money from him, even if he hangs out with concubines and roommates all day long, but in fact, no matter how much he loves someone, he will not be big for it. Cost money.
"...Maybe Second Master Lian will understand what I said. The Eldest Master is the kind of person who would be willing to use his private house only if he really puts this person in his heart. That's why the 'little courtesy is light and affection is heavy. ’, it won’t work with him.”
If you want Wang Xifeng to say, what kind of shitty etiquette is light on affection, since affection is heavy, how can etiquette be light?Of course, if the gift giver comes out of the mud without staining it, or even regards money as dung, then it's a different matter.Just like Daiyu who lives here, Wang Xifeng has never disliked the scriptures she sent, but for Mrs. Wang...
The Wang family is a bunch of ordinary people, but they pretended to be outsiders in front of her!
Hearing Wang Xifeng's string of words, Jia Lian just looked at her with a strange expression, but said nothing.Wang Xifeng felt a little creepy when he looked at her, and thought that something was on her face, she stroked it subconsciously, but felt nothing, then asked in surprise: "Why is Second Master Lian looking at me like this?"
"I just thought that you didn't seem to give me anything valuable in the past."
"Tsk tsk, look at what Second Master Lian said. Not to mention who the two of us are with whom, just say that even if I want to give you valuable things, what should I give? This is for the female relatives, and the left and right are hairpin and ring jewelry. Or fine tribute satins and brocades. What about men? Pens, inks, papers and inkstones?"
"Don't you!" Jia Lian was taken aback, and then remembered that he had already left the family school, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't mention pens, inks, papers and inkstones to me, I will have nightmares later. That's right! Jia Lian slapped his hands suddenly, and said excitedly, "Have we prepared all the gifts for the elders during the Chinese New Year? What about the younger ones?"
The topic changed so quickly, Wang Xifeng was stunned and couldn't recover.After a while, he asked in a daze: "Young generation? Lan'er and sister Qiao are still young, wouldn't it be good to give them purses later?"
"How can this be done! Besides, it's not just Lan'er and Qiaojie, we also have so many younger brothers and sisters. Of course, you can figure out how to deal with the younger sisters and Qiaojie, like Baoyu and Lan Er, Cong Er and Huan Er also like to take care of some of them."
"Second Master Lian, what do you want to do?" Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian with deep eyes, always feeling an ominous premonition.
"Of course it's a big gift! Leave it to me."
Wang Xifeng thought about it carefully, and agreed.What she thought was, if she gave an extra gift for nothing, even if it wasn't what she liked, shouldn't she be unhappy?It's like when Mrs. Wang sent someone to send a lot of medicinal materials after she learned that she was pregnant, she was very unhappy, but she still accepted it.
...It was hers to exchange the money later.
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng felt relieved, Jia Lian was much more reliable than Jia Amnesty, and she probably wouldn't do anything crazy.As for gifts for female relatives, it is even easier. Leaving aside Qiaojie, she will have no objection to giving anything (she has the right to pretend that she has not heard any opinions).Like Sanchun, you only need to prepare a few kinds of jewelry.
The breakfast was finally delivered, Wang Xifeng accompanied Jia Lian to eat the breakfast, and helped Jia Lian to wash up, just about to let Jia Lian rest for a while, when she heard Feng'er's slightly surprised call from outside again .
This time, it was Li Wan who came.
Not sending someone to come, but coming in person.
Wang Xifeng was a little dumbfounded, and Jia Lian's eyes were also straightened.The two discussed in a low voice, and had no choice but to walk out of the inner room together to meet the sister-in-law whom they had not seen for a long time.
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's been a long time since Wang Xifeng went to the western side courtyard to give a banquet, and she never saw Li Wan again.But Jia Lian has been there for a longer time, and has never met this sister-in-law for almost half a year.As for last night, Jia Lian was eating with Jia She, Jia Zheng and Baoyu in the outer hall. When he heard that something happened inside, it was Jia She and Jia Zheng who entered first. As a male of the same generation, he was waiting inside. Only after the family members of Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing were left, did they enter.
The couple walked together, and soon reached the main hall, when Li Wan had already been let in, with snowflakes on his head and shoulders.
"It's snowing outside again?" Jia Lian asked in surprise, and immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly called Feng'er to help Li Wan shake off the snowflakes.And because the fire dragon was burning in the room, before Feng'er could help, the snowflakes on Li Wan's body had already turned into snow water, which wetted his clothes and hair.Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng looked weird, but couldn't say anything, they just stood aside and watched. Jia Lian feared that Wang Xifeng would feel uncomfortable if she stood for a long time, so she asked her to sit down first.
Li Wan was a little dazed.
"There's no need to do that, I just came here to have a look at Brother Feng." Rejecting Feng'er's help, Li Wan only said that he didn't feel cold, and looked at Wang Xifeng who was already seated, forced a smile, and turned to Wang Xifeng Said, "Brother Feng, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Youdao said that if you stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face, even if Wang Xifeng doesn't want to see Li Wan again, it is impossible to throw her out.So he kept ordering Feng'er to serve tea, and said to Li Wan with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhu, please don't mind, I have not been feeling well these days, and it was because of this that I didn't go to the old lady's place yesterday."
While speaking, Li Wan also sat down.
Jia Lian looked left and right, feeling a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Feng'er turned around quickly, and at the same time Zijuan also entered the room, bringing along the always clever Xiaohong.At that moment, Jia Lian took advantage of the situation to beg for forgiveness, turned around and went into the inner room.
Li Wan smiled and said to Wang Xifeng after Jia Lian left, "I thought Lian'er was a mischievous one. I didn't think he had seen you for a few months, but he felt sorry for you, Brother Feng. Look, this is still in his own yard." Li, it’s all so reluctant.”
"Where is it that you can't bear to part with me?" Wang Xifeng grinned, disapproving.Immediately seeing that Li Wan was a little dazed, Wang Xifeng's heart moved, not to mention that Li Wan has been locked up for so many days, and she still doesn't know that she is pregnant?However, no matter whether he knew it or not, Wang Xifeng didn't plan to talk about it in depth.It's not that she changed her habit of being twitchy, but that there are some things that can't be so twitchy.At that moment, Wang Xifeng immediately changed the subject, and it was Mrs. Wang who was mentioned, "Where is Sister-in-law Zhu from? By the way, the second wife just sent someone over to visit me and gave me many gifts. Sister-in-law, do you want to come with me?" see?"
"No, no, no need, I came from my wife." When Li Wan heard the word gift, his heart tensed subconsciously, not because of distress, but because he instantly thought of what Mrs. Wang said to her last night .
Probably, it was a test?
When Li Wan thought of the conversation she had with Mrs. Wang yesterday, and how Mrs. Wang had sent someone to pass on the message just now, she felt both nervous and expectant.On the one hand, she thought that if the title really fell to Jia Lan, her Lan'er would be able to take the imperial examination in a fair manner.On the other hand, she was afraid that Wang Xifeng would not respond, and her Lan'er would be ruined in this life.
"Brother Feng, I also have something for you. These are the Buddhist scriptures that I have sincerely copied in front of the Buddha these days." Li Wan paused for a moment, and added another sentence of sending off the son Guanyin, fearing that it would hurt Wang Xifeng's sore feet. He simply swallowed the words that came to his lips.I can't see anything from left and right Buddhist scriptures, and it's still a question of whether Wang Xifeng will read them.
"Then I would like to thank sister-in-law Zhu." Wang Xifeng lowered her head, her long eyelashes concealing the thoughts in her eyes.
There is a saying that if you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.When Mrs. Wang suddenly changed her temper and gave her an expensive gift, Wang Xifeng just felt it was weird, but when it was Li Wan's turn to greet her with a smiling face, it was not just weird.
For the next quarter of an hour, Wang Xifeng kept smiling lightly. No matter what Li Wan said, she would always go along with her with a smile.Li Wan was not an eloquent person at all, and after greeting everyone who could, she couldn't find anything to talk about.After sitting for another quarter of an hour, Li Wan finally left with a stiff smile on his face.
Wang Xifeng only called Zijuan to send Li Wan out, but she couldn't even move herself.What's interesting is that after Zi Juan sent Li Wan out, Xiao Hong, who had been standing beside her as a decoration, suddenly muttered something.
"Grandma, this person is so strange. Just now, sister Feng'er wanted to help her shake the snowflakes off her body when she was on the porch, but she refused. Who knows that the room is warm, and once you come in, the snowflakes will definitely turn into water. It's not for nothing He polluted our land, and made himself suffer from the cold. Grandma, do you think this person is stupid?"
"Stupid! Even more stupid than sister Qiao in our family!" Wang Xifeng turned around and choked Xiaohong angrily, but it caused Xiaohong to giggle.
"She's not stupid!" Feng'er probably saw someone go out, then walked into the main hall, and said to Wang Xifeng with a dissatisfied expression, "Grandma, don't be fooled by Grandma Zhu, she I deliberately pretended to be pitiful for you to see!"
"I know, but it's a pity, I don't like your grandma at all!" Wang Xifeng put down the teacup, got up and walked inside, and said as she walked, "Besides, isn't she stupid? She has her own body and bones. Don’t feel bad, but expect others to pity her? Tsk tsk, I’m really going to get sick from the cold, let’s see who will pity her.”
Feng'er stepped forward to support Wang Xifeng, Xiaohong supported the other side, and the three went directly to the inner room.Wang Xifeng also said that Jia Lian had already rested, and he didn't want to wait until he entered the inner room to see Jia Lian sitting cross-legged on the kang, with his head bit by bit, like a sleepy person with his head on his head.
Wang Xifeng didn't hold back, and laughed out loud, and woke up Jia Lian by the way: "You all go back first. Why doesn't Second Master Lian rest?"
Jia Lian thought to himself, the weasel didn't show his kindness in greeting the chicken, and the weasel outside hasn't left yet, how much heart can he rest in?He was also afraid that these words would bring burden to Wang Xifeng, so he only waved to her and said, "You rest with me."
Inexplicably being dragged to sleep for a belated sleep, Wang Xifeng thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, but after the familiar person returned to her side, she slept more solidly and soundly than last night.And because he took a break after breakfast, his stomach was warm, so he fell asleep until half an hour later.
When she woke up again, Wang Xifeng looked beside her, empty, and called Zijuan in loudly, but seeing Zijuan's suppressed smile, she immediately gouged her out angrily, and said angrily, "Why, I Can Maodong fail? Besides, I’m a healthy person now, so I’m well nourished if I sleep a lot.”
"Pfft!" Zijuan really couldn't hold back now, and even burst into tears from laughter.When he saw Wang Xifeng's suspicious expression, he wiped his tears with the back of his hand and replied with a smile, "Grandma, you don't know, that's what Second Master Lian said just now."
"What?"
"Second Master Lian said, Grandma, if you are together, you will definitely find an excuse for Maodong, or you will say that you have become lazy after pregnancy, and you are not lazy in the first place." As he spoke, Zijuan covered his mouth again. smile.
Wang Xifeng wore a black thread on her hair and washed up briefly under the service of Zijuan, then remembered that she hadn't seen Sister Qiao for almost a day, so she hurriedly asked Sister Qiao what she was doing now.In the end, after Zijuan told the truth, Wang Xifeng was really speechless.
Qiaojie is playing with her three aunts.
Note that it is three, not two.In other words, besides Yingchun and Xichun who were sent to the yard last night, Tanchun also came.As for why Tanchun is here...Wang Xifeng definitely doesn't think that Tanchun is here to play with Qiaojie specially, it's obviously just to visit her!
"Forget it, don't let them run away, I'll go to the east room to see them."
As soon as Tanchun arrived, he was told that Wang Xifeng and his wife were taking a nap, and because Yingchun and Xichun got up and went to accompany Qiaojie, they simply followed to the east room.For most of the day, including lunch, they were all used in the east room.It made Qiaojie smile, probably she has never met so many people in one go before, and Sanchun is different from the maids, not to mention that their clothes are brighter, but the way of playing around is also the same as that of the maids. very different.When Wang Xifeng passed by, what he saw was Sanchun sitting on the heating kang forming a half circle, while Qiaojie was clapping her hands and laughing happily inside.
Zijuan opened the curtain, but Wang Xifeng didn't rush in, but just stood aside and watched.Because of the angle, Sanchun couldn't see her, but Qiaojie saw her at a glance, laughed like a flower, and shouted: "Mother!"
Only then did Wang Xifeng stroll towards the warm kang.
However, the nanny was afraid that sister Qiao would hurt Wang Xifeng, so she reached out her hand to embrace sister Qiao in her arms before Wang Xifeng.This time Qiaojie was angered again, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to order the nanny to let go of Qiaojie, and sat in the place Sanchun vacated by herself, stretching out her hand to support Qiaojie who was jumping around: "I Dear Qiao girl, you are a girl, do you understand? Don't keep jumping around like a monkey, a girl's house should be like a girl's house, look at your aunts, how well-behaved and sensible. "
Sister Qiao didn't quite understand the meaning of these words. In her opinion, Wang Xifeng said this with a smile, and she only thought that Wang Xifeng said something good, so the smile on her face became brighter.She didn't even forget to wrap her arms around Wang Xifeng's arm, and said to Xichun in a showy manner: "Mother! Sister Qiao's mother!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little stunned, not understanding whether she was an introduction or had other meanings.In the end, it was Wang Xifeng who came to his senses first, remembering the farce he brought out last night, he tapped Qiaojie's forehead angrily, and said angrily, "You little vinegar jar, I'll get you vinegar later."
Having said that, Wang Xifeng was somewhat worried.
Although Xichun and Qiaojie are only a few years apart, they are elders after all, and they don't have the same knowledge as Qiaojie.Another one, Xichun only came to live for two days, and it is not easy for Qiaojie to meet Xichun on weekdays.But the problem is, Wang Xifeng is pregnant now, if she gives birth to a child in the next year and Qiaojie still likes to eat so much, it will be difficult to handle.
At that moment, Wang Xifeng put her arms around Qiaojie with a slightly sad expression, and sighed: "You little girl, it's so hard to take care of people who are a little bit older. How can you be happy when you have younger brothers and sisters?"
Yingchun and Xichun snickered one after another, but didn't answer.Tanchun's heart skipped a beat, as if he had realized something, but he didn't open his mouth after thinking about it.This scene naturally fell into Wang Xifeng's eyes. Although Sanchun didn't speak, in Wang Xifeng's mind, each had his own evaluation.
In fact, compared with the previous life, Sanchun's temperament has changed a little.
The biggest change is of course Yingchun. Firstly, she is now a prostitute, and secondly, most importantly, Yingchun has gained the attention of the big house.Even though Jia She still doesn't care much about this daughter, but now Yingchun lives in the East Courtyard, although Jia She is confused, she returns home every day.They come and go, even if they don't care about it, they still look familiar, at least Yingchun now has feelings for Jia She, and when talking about her parents, she is also smiling, not as indifferent and alienated as in her previous life.
The change of Xichun is not obvious now. Although Xichun was an extremely indifferent person when she grew up in her previous life, when she was young, she was always talking and laughing.Wang Xifeng privately thought that Xichun was completely heartbroken by the so-called relatives of Ningguo Mansion, so she lost her temper.
As for Tanchun, she has also changed greatly.If Tanchun in the previous life showed her sharpness, then in this life she learned to hide herself early.Wang Xifeng vaguely remembered Tanchun's appearance when he grew up, and now, although he is still young, he has the appearance of his previous life and his future.I don't know if this change is good or bad.
"Third sister, how are you doing?" Wang Xifeng glanced around secretly, and finally settled on Tanchun.
Tanchun hurriedly got up and got off the kang, saluted Wang Xifeng solemnly, and said: "Second sister-in-law Lian, thank you for your kindness. I don't want to say much, but I will keep it in my heart."
Wang Xifeng didn't dodge, just accepted Tanchun's gift like this, and when she heard her words, she just smiled slightly and said: "We are a family after all, we can't thank you for anything. As long as the third sister is doing well. , the rest will be fine.”
"Second sister-in-law Lian, I'm doing well." Tanchun smiled calmly, obviously she was three years younger than Yingchun, looking at her now, she seemed to be Yingchun's older sister.
Is it really a good thing to be precocious and intelligent?It is said that the children of the poor are headed home early. This is not a compliment, but a resignation to life. □□Government is so rich, why do the girls live so hard?
"Okay, having a good life is the best thing. The third younger sister finally came to my place, so don't rush to leave. Let's have dinner together today. There are two younger sisters to accompany you, so you won't be bored if you think about it." looking at you."
Tanchun was extremely grateful, and never offered any words of refusal.
The dinner was indeed served at Wang Xifeng's place, and Jia Lian didn't show up. From what Zijuan said, it seemed that after Jia Lian got up in the middle of the morning, he went directly to Rongqingtang, and he didn't even see Tanchun.But this is normal, even though they are cousins, Jia Lian doesn't even care much about Yingchun, his own sister, let alone a cousin.It's not that Jia Lian is cold-hearted, it's really that there is too much age difference. Before Yuan Chun entered the palace, they had a good time.
After dinner, Wang Xifeng asked Zijuan to go there in person and sent Tanchun back to Rongxi Hall.As for Yingchun and Xichun, since there was no movement at the east courtyard, presumably it was because Mrs. Xing hadn't left the Rongqing hall, so Wang Xifeng simply kept them, but sent someone to the east courtyard to fetch some daily clothes.
That night, Jia Lian came back, not too early, it was almost midnight.However, compared to yesterday's failure to return all night, this one has at least returned.Wang Xifeng had expected it before, so she didn't keep Qiaojie, which made Jia Lian heave a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, everything was stable, except for Li Wan and Tanchun who came to report every day.
That's right, it's the day-by-day report.If it wasn't for the wrong time, Wang Xifeng would have felt that the two of them came to her for a day and night.Even saying that is not right, because these two come here before noon every day, but leave after sunset, it looks like they are here to grab a meal.Of course, this is just a theory, in fact, Li Wan never eats at Wang Xifeng's place, she comes here after lunch every day, and leaves when it's almost time for dinner.Tanchun, on the other hand, went straight to Yingchun and Xichun when they came. If they went to the east room, Tanchun would follow.If you don't go to the east room, Tanchun will just stay in Yingchun's and Xichun's rooms, and don't move your nest all day long.
The more Wang Xifeng looked at it, the rarer it became, and the rarer it became, the more confused he became.In the end, she simply ignored it, and even if Li Wan came over, she sat in the main hall obediently, if she wanted to go out to meet her, then she could talk, if she didn't want to meet, Li Wan didn't force her, It looked like she had completed some mission, and she just came here to sit quietly.
In this way, it will be New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
On this day, neither Li Wan nor Tanchun came over, but Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief.Because of the special day today, even if Wang Xifeng is pregnant, she cannot refuse to attend the banquet.After all, she was pregnant, not in labor.Therefore, she dressed properly early, and took Yingchun and Xichun to Rongqing hall together.
In Rongqing hall, the fire dragon is burning vigorously, it seems that it is afraid that it is not warm enough, there are several charcoal basins in the room, and there is a little maid guarding next to each charcoal basin, lest the water will go out without paying attention.
Wang Xifeng hadn't been to Rongqingtang for several days, now that she came here, she felt a little strange here.
It's not that Wang Xifeng is too sensitive, but that there are really many changes in Rongqingtang.The most conspicuous among them is the newly installed screen in the main hall.The original one is the flowers of the four seasons, that is, it is replaced every season. It is majestic and majestic, but it is a little less festive, and it has been left for a long time, which is inevitably a bit boring.What Wang Xifeng saw today was a beautiful picture of a hundred flowers in full bloom and a hundred butterflies piercing the clouds. Not to mention the poetic flavor, at least looking at it, it felt very festive, and it made people happy just by looking at it.
Involuntarily, Wang Xifeng stopped in front of the screen.

It's just that I feel chilly without the air conditioner, and I can't straighten my fingers, but I feel dizzy and flustered when the air conditioner is turned on.In the end, when I told my mother, she actually said: Bitch is hypocritical!
So this is my mother! QQ
Wang Xifeng subconsciously looked at Jia Lian who was lying on the kang, but saw that Jia Lian had already half-raised herself, looking back at her blankly: "It's so early in the morning, what is she trying to do?"
What else can't we avoid?Wang Xifeng spread his hands helplessly, and said loudly to the outside: "Feng'er, please invite people in quickly." Then he whispered to Jia Lian, "Second Master Lian, do you want to go and have a look?"
Jia Lian didn't even think about it, so he shook his head instinctively, and said, "You are sleepy, tired and hungry, why bother with all this? It's not that her second wife came here in person." The left and right are just messengers, and Jia Lian thinks that there is nothing wrong with her. It is necessary to lick your face and move forward.Apparently, Wang Xifeng's thoughts were similar to his, but besides being the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion, she was also Wang Xifeng's natal aunt, so she couldn't just leave Rongxitang alone like this.So Wang Xifeng adjusted her makeup a bit, then lifted the curtain and went outside.
In the main hall, Feng'er was pouring tea for the visitors with a smile, but the smile looked a bit creepy, Wang Xifeng looked at it straight, and couldn't laugh out loud, and said: "This is... It looks a little strange."
"I've seen Second Mistress Lian, and the slave girl Huazan greeted Second Mistress Lian." The person who came was none other than Huazan who had just climbed up to Mrs. Wang's side.
Wang Xifeng heard the words and took a closer look, but saw that the man in front of him looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. Although his appearance was not very outstanding, he could be seen to be a steady and smart person. He looked a bit like the late Jin Chuan. Only a little bit of self-confidence is missing.So he said with a smile: "Is that the hairpin? I guess it's the maid who was just promoted by the second wife? It looks good, Feng'er, don't go and get a reward."
Feng'er resigned with a smile, and I don't know if Wang Xifeng was overwhelmed, or because of other reasons, Wang Xifeng always felt that there was something wrong with Feng'er at this size.Just thinking about it, the flower hairpin in front of her waved her hands again and again and said: "Second Grandma Lian praised you absurdly, but I don't dare to be a flower hairpin."
The reward came very quickly, and Huazan still wanted to decline, but Wang Xifeng said: "It's a big Chinese New Year, it's not fun to push the fortune outside, you just keep it." Seeing Huazan put away the purse, the smile on Wang Xifeng's face became even stronger He said again, "Why did the second wife call you here specially? But you want me to go and see her? Then wait a minute, I will let you go there."
"No no, Second Grandma Lian, please stop busy work. My wife asked me to come and see grandma specially. She just said that I didn't see her yesterday. I was afraid that grandma might have something to do here. And I found some things because of the new year's packing. The old things, my wife said that grandma once mentioned that she liked those things, so the servants brought them here together." Huazan smiled all over her face, as if she was afraid that Wang Xifeng would blame her.
"Please worry about it, madam, I have nothing to do here."
"Then grandma, you should just take a rest. The maidservants are going back to Rongxi hall first. Let me go." Huazan came and walked even faster. As for the so-called gift, Wang Xifeng never even saw it.
After Huazan left, Wang Xifeng suddenly remembered this, and looked at Feng'er.But Feng'er curled her lips, and said with some displeasure: "Grandma, the gift is placed outside in the concierge, and it is said to be too heavy for her to carry alone, and it's not good for the rough envoy to pollute our place." Son."
This sounded like an excuse.But Wang Xifeng suddenly became interested, and asked Feng'er and Zijuan to carry the small box in together.The box did come in, but Feng'er said disdainfully: "Where is it heavy? The person in front of the second wife is hypocritical." She glanced at the box again, and said slightly dissatisfied, "Why don't you pick a better looking one?" The box? It’s so old, it looks like it’s been used for many years.”
Wang Xifeng stepped forward to have a closer look, she burst out laughing, she just pointed at Feng'er and said, "Don't you recognize the good stuff? So what if it's old? It's a brocade box with sunflower petals, and it has been used for many years. I remember that this should be the dowry of the second wife. As for this... probably it is also a dowry."
The sunflower petal colored brocade box is a jewelry box, of course it is not unnecessary to put it aside, but if it is an old item, Mrs. Wang would not bother to toss it.Besides, with what the flower hairpin said just now, Wang Xifeng could almost guess what was inside.However, even so, when Zijuan stepped forward to open it, Wang Xifeng couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you so happy? Don't make your stomach hurt from laughing." Jia Lian waited in the inner room, but Wang Xifeng still didn't come back, and there was no sign of the breakfast that was called earlier.That's not enough, but someone came to make him a pot of hot tea, without saying anything, there was still the smell of Qiaojie's milk in the room, and Wang Xifeng's signature laughter came from outside.Come on, Jia Lian can't sit still at all.
"Second Master Lian, come over quickly and have a look, our second wife is a second person!"
Can it be bad?In the past, when Mrs. Wang gave gifts, no matter whether it was for her superiors or as a reward for her subordinates, most of them took the route of giving light gifts and emphasizing affection.For example, if you give it to Jiamu, you can either do the needlework with your own hands, or copy the Buddhist scriptures yourself, or you can string a string of Buddhist beads to Jiamu yourself.For another example, most of the objects rewarded to servants are so-called decent, like the old clothes worn by the master, with more than half of the facial fat and hair oil used, or one or two dishes, snacks, etc. Not new, but eaten a few bites.
Things like this one, even though they are old things, are worth as much as new ones... for the first time in decades!
"What do you mean?" Jia Lian leaned over and took a look, his face was livid.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Xifeng rushed to him to coax him, and couldn't help laughing: "Second Master Lian, please don't be annoyed, Second Wife will never neglect to give me old things. If you think about it carefully, this red gold jewelry is different from the other items. Even if it is worn out, it will not lose half of its weight, and it is still valuable. Besides, our old master gave me a lot earlier. thing?"
"Then what's the difference?" Jia Lian was never persuaded by Wang Xifeng at all, but said bitterly, "The identities of the elder master and the second wife are different. Besides, although the things sent by the elder master are vulgar and rustic, they are not He used it. Also, since the Elder Master is a man, how can he know what kind of gift is suitable? The Eldest Wife is useless, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to persuade her at all. After a pause, Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng worriedly, and said, "Brother Feng, will you be angry when the old man gave you those items earlier?"
"Me? Why?"
"Gold and silver jewelry are terribly bulky, not delicate and small at all. The decorations look expensive, but which one can be displayed? If it is really displayed, I'm afraid we just shut the door and thank the guests. I really can't afford to lose this People! Not to mention the others."
Wang Xifeng originally wanted to show Jia Lian some face, so she could only hold back her smile, but in the end, she couldn't bear it anymore and laughed outright.Just fearing that Jia Lian would lose face in front of the maid, Wang Xifeng ordered Zijuan to tidy up her things. Feng'er went outside to see that the breakfast was ready, and she herself took Jia Lian into the inner room and explained the reason in detail.
"Second Master Lian, I only thought that Baoyu was raised stupid. He only learned the so-called elegance and nobility, but forgot the most important things of gold and silver. I never thought that Second Master Lian would do the same."
Jia Lian looked at her puzzled.
In desperation, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to explain to him little by little.Let me talk about Jia Amnesty first, he sent those gifts out of good intentions.Jia She was originally a stingy guy, just look at Mrs. Xing and you will know that he is not short of money, but Mrs. Xing can only live on the monthly allowance, and often does not even have good clothes. Not to mention hairpin jewelry.It doesn't matter if Jia She has no money, but the whole Rongguo Mansion knows that Jia She got his grandmother's private house.
The mother of Jia Daishan is also the wife of Jia Yuan, the first Duke of Rong. Jia Yuan was bestowed the title of Duke of Rong by a sage for his military exploits.His wife is a super high-ranking wife, who has been in charge of the housekeeper for decades, three festivals and two birthdays every year, ice and charcoal respect are by no means small sums, plus the rewards from above over the years, all belong to Jia She.Speaking of this matter, there was still a lawsuit back then, but it was off-topic, so it's worth not mentioning it.
But it is said that Jia She, who has money, has become more and more stingy.This point is also inseparable from the teaching of Jia Yuan's wife when she was a child.In a word, Jia She is extremely stingy and cannot easily get money from him, even if he hangs out with concubines and roommates all day long, but in fact, no matter how much he loves someone, he will not be big for it. Cost money.
"...Maybe Second Master Lian will understand what I said. The Eldest Master is the kind of person who would be willing to use his private house only if he really puts this person in his heart. That's why the 'little courtesy is light and affection is heavy. ’, it won’t work with him.”
If you want Wang Xifeng to say, what kind of shitty etiquette is light on affection, since affection is heavy, how can etiquette be light?Of course, if the gift giver comes out of the mud without staining it, or even regards money as dung, then it's a different matter.Just like Daiyu who lives here, Wang Xifeng has never disliked the scriptures she sent, but for Mrs. Wang...
The Wang family is a bunch of ordinary people, but they pretended to be outsiders in front of her!
Hearing Wang Xifeng's string of words, Jia Lian just looked at her with a strange expression, but said nothing.Wang Xifeng felt a little creepy when he looked at her, and thought that something was on her face, she stroked it subconsciously, but felt nothing, then asked in surprise: "Why is Second Master Lian looking at me like this?"
"I just thought that you didn't seem to give me anything valuable in the past."
"Tsk tsk, look at what Second Master Lian said. Not to mention who the two of us are with whom, just say that even if I want to give you valuable things, what should I give? This is for the female relatives, and the left and right are hairpin and ring jewelry. Or fine tribute satins and brocades. What about men? Pens, inks, papers and inkstones?"
"Don't you!" Jia Lian was taken aback, and then remembered that he had already left the family school, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't mention pens, inks, papers and inkstones to me, I will have nightmares later. That's right! Jia Lian slapped his hands suddenly, and said excitedly, "Have we prepared all the gifts for the elders during the Chinese New Year? What about the younger ones?"
The topic changed so quickly, Wang Xifeng was stunned and couldn't recover.After a while, he asked in a daze: "Young generation? Lan'er and sister Qiao are still young, wouldn't it be good to give them purses later?"
"How can this be done! Besides, it's not just Lan'er and Qiaojie, we also have so many younger brothers and sisters. Of course, you can figure out how to deal with the younger sisters and Qiaojie, like Baoyu and Lan Er, Cong Er and Huan Er also like to take care of some of them."
"Second Master Lian, what do you want to do?" Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian with deep eyes, always feeling an ominous premonition.
"Of course it's a big gift! Leave it to me."
Wang Xifeng thought about it carefully, and agreed.What she thought was, if she gave an extra gift for nothing, even if it wasn't what she liked, shouldn't she be unhappy?It's like when Mrs. Wang sent someone to send a lot of medicinal materials after she learned that she was pregnant, she was very unhappy, but she still accepted it.
...It was hers to exchange the money later.
Thinking of this, Wang Xifeng felt relieved, Jia Lian was much more reliable than Jia Amnesty, and she probably wouldn't do anything crazy.As for gifts for female relatives, it is even easier. Leaving aside Qiaojie, she will have no objection to giving anything (she has the right to pretend that she has not heard any opinions).Like Sanchun, you only need to prepare a few kinds of jewelry.
The breakfast was finally delivered, Wang Xifeng accompanied Jia Lian to eat the breakfast, and helped Jia Lian to wash up, just about to let Jia Lian rest for a while, when she heard Feng'er's slightly surprised call from outside again .
This time, it was Li Wan who came.
Not sending someone to come, but coming in person.
Wang Xifeng was a little dumbfounded, and Jia Lian's eyes were also straightened.The two discussed in a low voice, and had no choice but to walk out of the inner room together to meet the sister-in-law whom they had not seen for a long time.
It's not an exaggeration to say that it's been a long time since Wang Xifeng went to the western side courtyard to give a banquet, and she never saw Li Wan again.But Jia Lian has been there for a longer time, and has never met this sister-in-law for almost half a year.As for last night, Jia Lian was eating with Jia She, Jia Zheng and Baoyu in the outer hall. When he heard that something happened inside, it was Jia She and Jia Zheng who entered first. As a male of the same generation, he was waiting inside. Only after the family members of Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing were left, did they enter.
The couple walked together, and soon reached the main hall, when Li Wan had already been let in, with snowflakes on his head and shoulders.
"It's snowing outside again?" Jia Lian asked in surprise, and immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly called Feng'er to help Li Wan shake off the snowflakes.And because the fire dragon was burning in the room, before Feng'er could help, the snowflakes on Li Wan's body had already turned into snow water, which wetted his clothes and hair.Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng looked weird, but couldn't say anything, they just stood aside and watched. Jia Lian feared that Wang Xifeng would feel uncomfortable if she stood for a long time, so she asked her to sit down first.
Li Wan was a little dazed.
"There's no need to do that, I just came here to have a look at Brother Feng." Rejecting Feng'er's help, Li Wan only said that he didn't feel cold, and looked at Wang Xifeng who was already seated, forced a smile, and turned to Wang Xifeng Said, "Brother Feng, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Youdao said that if you stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face, even if Wang Xifeng doesn't want to see Li Wan again, it is impossible to throw her out.So he kept ordering Feng'er to serve tea, and said to Li Wan with a smile: "Sister-in-law Zhu, please don't mind, I have not been feeling well these days, and it was because of this that I didn't go to the old lady's place yesterday."
While speaking, Li Wan also sat down.
Jia Lian looked left and right, feeling a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Feng'er turned around quickly, and at the same time Zijuan also entered the room, bringing along the always clever Xiaohong.At that moment, Jia Lian took advantage of the situation to beg for forgiveness, turned around and went into the inner room.
Li Wan smiled and said to Wang Xifeng after Jia Lian left, "I thought Lian'er was a mischievous one. I didn't think he had seen you for a few months, but he felt sorry for you, Brother Feng. Look, this is still in his own yard." Li, it’s all so reluctant.”
"Where is it that you can't bear to part with me?" Wang Xifeng grinned, disapproving.Immediately seeing that Li Wan was a little dazed, Wang Xifeng's heart moved, not to mention that Li Wan has been locked up for so many days, and she still doesn't know that she is pregnant?However, no matter whether he knew it or not, Wang Xifeng didn't plan to talk about it in depth.It's not that she changed her habit of being twitchy, but that there are some things that can't be so twitchy.At that moment, Wang Xifeng immediately changed the subject, and it was Mrs. Wang who was mentioned, "Where is Sister-in-law Zhu from? By the way, the second wife just sent someone over to visit me and gave me many gifts. Sister-in-law, do you want to come with me?" see?"
"No, no, no need, I came from my wife." When Li Wan heard the word gift, his heart tensed subconsciously, not because of distress, but because he instantly thought of what Mrs. Wang said to her last night .
Probably, it was a test?
When Li Wan thought of the conversation she had with Mrs. Wang yesterday, and how Mrs. Wang had sent someone to pass on the message just now, she felt both nervous and expectant.On the one hand, she thought that if the title really fell to Jia Lan, her Lan'er would be able to take the imperial examination in a fair manner.On the other hand, she was afraid that Wang Xifeng would not respond, and her Lan'er would be ruined in this life.
"Brother Feng, I also have something for you. These are the Buddhist scriptures that I have sincerely copied in front of the Buddha these days." Li Wan paused for a moment, and added another sentence of sending off the son Guanyin, fearing that it would hurt Wang Xifeng's sore feet. He simply swallowed the words that came to his lips.I can't see anything from left and right Buddhist scriptures, and it's still a question of whether Wang Xifeng will read them.
"Then I would like to thank sister-in-law Zhu." Wang Xifeng lowered her head, her long eyelashes concealing the thoughts in her eyes.
There is a saying that if you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.When Mrs. Wang suddenly changed her temper and gave her an expensive gift, Wang Xifeng just felt it was weird, but when it was Li Wan's turn to greet her with a smiling face, it was not just weird.
For the next quarter of an hour, Wang Xifeng kept smiling lightly. No matter what Li Wan said, she would always go along with her with a smile.Li Wan was not an eloquent person at all, and after greeting everyone who could, she couldn't find anything to talk about.After sitting for another quarter of an hour, Li Wan finally left with a stiff smile on his face.
Wang Xifeng only called Zijuan to send Li Wan out, but she couldn't even move herself.What's interesting is that after Zi Juan sent Li Wan out, Xiao Hong, who had been standing beside her as a decoration, suddenly muttered something.
"Grandma, this person is so strange. Just now, sister Feng'er wanted to help her shake the snowflakes off her body when she was on the porch, but she refused. Who knows that the room is warm, and once you come in, the snowflakes will definitely turn into water. It's not for nothing He polluted our land, and made himself suffer from the cold. Grandma, do you think this person is stupid?"
"Stupid! Even more stupid than sister Qiao in our family!" Wang Xifeng turned around and choked Xiaohong angrily, but it caused Xiaohong to giggle.
"She's not stupid!" Feng'er probably saw someone go out, then walked into the main hall, and said to Wang Xifeng with a dissatisfied expression, "Grandma, don't be fooled by Grandma Zhu, she I deliberately pretended to be pitiful for you to see!"
"I know, but it's a pity, I don't like your grandma at all!" Wang Xifeng put down the teacup, got up and walked inside, and said as she walked, "Besides, isn't she stupid? She has her own body and bones. Don’t feel bad, but expect others to pity her? Tsk tsk, I’m really going to get sick from the cold, let’s see who will pity her.”
Feng'er stepped forward to support Wang Xifeng, Xiaohong supported the other side, and the three went directly to the inner room.Wang Xifeng also said that Jia Lian had already rested, and he didn't want to wait until he entered the inner room to see Jia Lian sitting cross-legged on the kang, with his head bit by bit, like a sleepy person with his head on his head.
Wang Xifeng didn't hold back, and laughed out loud, and woke up Jia Lian by the way: "You all go back first. Why doesn't Second Master Lian rest?"
Jia Lian thought to himself, the weasel didn't show his kindness in greeting the chicken, and the weasel outside hasn't left yet, how much heart can he rest in?He was also afraid that these words would bring burden to Wang Xifeng, so he only waved to her and said, "You rest with me."
Inexplicably being dragged to sleep for a belated sleep, Wang Xifeng thought that she would not be able to fall asleep, but after the familiar person returned to her side, she slept more solidly and soundly than last night.And because he took a break after breakfast, his stomach was warm, so he fell asleep until half an hour later.
When she woke up again, Wang Xifeng looked beside her, empty, and called Zijuan in loudly, but seeing Zijuan's suppressed smile, she immediately gouged her out angrily, and said angrily, "Why, I Can Maodong fail? Besides, I’m a healthy person now, so I’m well nourished if I sleep a lot.”
"Pfft!" Zijuan really couldn't hold back now, and even burst into tears from laughter.When he saw Wang Xifeng's suspicious expression, he wiped his tears with the back of his hand and replied with a smile, "Grandma, you don't know, that's what Second Master Lian said just now."
"What?"
"Second Master Lian said, Grandma, if you are together, you will definitely find an excuse for Maodong, or you will say that you have become lazy after pregnancy, and you are not lazy in the first place." As he spoke, Zijuan covered his mouth again. smile.
Wang Xifeng wore a black thread on her hair and washed up briefly under the service of Zijuan, then remembered that she hadn't seen Sister Qiao for almost a day, so she hurriedly asked Sister Qiao what she was doing now.In the end, after Zijuan told the truth, Wang Xifeng was really speechless.
Qiaojie is playing with her three aunts.
Note that it is three, not two.In other words, besides Yingchun and Xichun who were sent to the yard last night, Tanchun also came.As for why Tanchun is here...Wang Xifeng definitely doesn't think that Tanchun is here to play with Qiaojie specially, it's obviously just to visit her!
"Forget it, don't let them run away, I'll go to the east room to see them."
As soon as Tanchun arrived, he was told that Wang Xifeng and his wife were taking a nap, and because Yingchun and Xichun got up and went to accompany Qiaojie, they simply followed to the east room.For most of the day, including lunch, they were all used in the east room.It made Qiaojie smile, probably she has never met so many people in one go before, and Sanchun is different from the maids, not to mention that their clothes are brighter, but the way of playing around is also the same as that of the maids. very different.When Wang Xifeng passed by, what he saw was Sanchun sitting on the heating kang forming a half circle, while Qiaojie was clapping her hands and laughing happily inside.
Zijuan opened the curtain, but Wang Xifeng didn't rush in, but just stood aside and watched.Because of the angle, Sanchun couldn't see her, but Qiaojie saw her at a glance, laughed like a flower, and shouted: "Mother!"
Only then did Wang Xifeng stroll towards the warm kang.
However, the nanny was afraid that sister Qiao would hurt Wang Xifeng, so she reached out her hand to embrace sister Qiao in her arms before Wang Xifeng.This time Qiaojie was angered again, Wang Xifeng had no choice but to order the nanny to let go of Qiaojie, and sat in the place Sanchun vacated by herself, stretching out her hand to support Qiaojie who was jumping around: "I Dear Qiao girl, you are a girl, do you understand? Don't keep jumping around like a monkey, a girl's house should be like a girl's house, look at your aunts, how well-behaved and sensible. "
Sister Qiao didn't quite understand the meaning of these words. In her opinion, Wang Xifeng said this with a smile, and she only thought that Wang Xifeng said something good, so the smile on her face became brighter.She didn't even forget to wrap her arms around Wang Xifeng's arm, and said to Xichun in a showy manner: "Mother! Sister Qiao's mother!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little stunned, not understanding whether she was an introduction or had other meanings.In the end, it was Wang Xifeng who came to his senses first, remembering the farce he brought out last night, he tapped Qiaojie's forehead angrily, and said angrily, "You little vinegar jar, I'll get you vinegar later."
Having said that, Wang Xifeng was somewhat worried.
Although Xichun and Qiaojie are only a few years apart, they are elders after all, and they don't have the same knowledge as Qiaojie.Another one, Xichun only came to live for two days, and it is not easy for Qiaojie to meet Xichun on weekdays.But the problem is, Wang Xifeng is pregnant now, if she gives birth to a child in the next year and Qiaojie still likes to eat so much, it will be difficult to handle.
At that moment, Wang Xifeng put her arms around Qiaojie with a slightly sad expression, and sighed: "You little girl, it's so hard to take care of people who are a little bit older. How can you be happy when you have younger brothers and sisters?"
Yingchun and Xichun snickered one after another, but didn't answer.Tanchun's heart skipped a beat, as if he had realized something, but he didn't open his mouth after thinking about it.This scene naturally fell into Wang Xifeng's eyes. Although Sanchun didn't speak, in Wang Xifeng's mind, each had his own evaluation.
In fact, compared with the previous life, Sanchun's temperament has changed a little.
The biggest change is of course Yingchun. Firstly, she is now a prostitute, and secondly, most importantly, Yingchun has gained the attention of the big house.Even though Jia She still doesn't care much about this daughter, but now Yingchun lives in the East Courtyard, although Jia She is confused, she returns home every day.They come and go, even if they don't care about it, they still look familiar, at least Yingchun now has feelings for Jia She, and when talking about her parents, she is also smiling, not as indifferent and alienated as in her previous life.
The change of Xichun is not obvious now. Although Xichun was an extremely indifferent person when she grew up in her previous life, when she was young, she was always talking and laughing.Wang Xifeng privately thought that Xichun was completely heartbroken by the so-called relatives of Ningguo Mansion, so she lost her temper.
As for Tanchun, she has also changed greatly.If Tanchun in the previous life showed her sharpness, then in this life she learned to hide herself early.Wang Xifeng vaguely remembered Tanchun's appearance when he grew up, and now, although he is still young, he has the appearance of his previous life and his future.I don't know if this change is good or bad.
"Third sister, how are you doing?" Wang Xifeng glanced around secretly, and finally settled on Tanchun.
Tanchun hurriedly got up and got off the kang, saluted Wang Xifeng solemnly, and said: "Second sister-in-law Lian, thank you for your kindness. I don't want to say much, but I will keep it in my heart."
Wang Xifeng didn't dodge, just accepted Tanchun's gift like this, and when she heard her words, she just smiled slightly and said: "We are a family after all, we can't thank you for anything. As long as the third sister is doing well. , the rest will be fine.”
"Second sister-in-law Lian, I'm doing well." Tanchun smiled calmly, obviously she was three years younger than Yingchun, looking at her now, she seemed to be Yingchun's older sister.
Is it really a good thing to be precocious and intelligent?It is said that the children of the poor are headed home early. This is not a compliment, but a resignation to life. □□Government is so rich, why do the girls live so hard?
"Okay, having a good life is the best thing. The third younger sister finally came to my place, so don't rush to leave. Let's have dinner together today. There are two younger sisters to accompany you, so you won't be bored if you think about it." looking at you."
Tanchun was extremely grateful, and never offered any words of refusal.
The dinner was indeed served at Wang Xifeng's place, and Jia Lian didn't show up. From what Zijuan said, it seemed that after Jia Lian got up in the middle of the morning, he went directly to Rongqingtang, and he didn't even see Tanchun.But this is normal, even though they are cousins, Jia Lian doesn't even care much about Yingchun, his own sister, let alone a cousin.It's not that Jia Lian is cold-hearted, it's really that there is too much age difference. Before Yuan Chun entered the palace, they had a good time.
After dinner, Wang Xifeng asked Zijuan to go there in person and sent Tanchun back to Rongxi Hall.As for Yingchun and Xichun, since there was no movement at the east courtyard, presumably it was because Mrs. Xing hadn't left the Rongqing hall, so Wang Xifeng simply kept them, but sent someone to the east courtyard to fetch some daily clothes.
That night, Jia Lian came back, not too early, it was almost midnight.However, compared to yesterday's failure to return all night, this one has at least returned.Wang Xifeng had expected it before, so she didn't keep Qiaojie, which made Jia Lian heave a sigh of relief.
In the next few days, everything was stable, except for Li Wan and Tanchun who came to report every day.
That's right, it's the day-by-day report.If it wasn't for the wrong time, Wang Xifeng would have felt that the two of them came to her for a day and night.Even saying that is not right, because these two come here before noon every day, but leave after sunset, it looks like they are here to grab a meal.Of course, this is just a theory, in fact, Li Wan never eats at Wang Xifeng's place, she comes here after lunch every day, and leaves when it's almost time for dinner.Tanchun, on the other hand, went straight to Yingchun and Xichun when they came. If they went to the east room, Tanchun would follow.If you don't go to the east room, Tanchun will just stay in Yingchun's and Xichun's rooms, and don't move your nest all day long.
The more Wang Xifeng looked at it, the rarer it became, and the rarer it became, the more confused he became.In the end, she simply ignored it, and even if Li Wan came over, she sat in the main hall obediently, if she wanted to go out to meet her, then she could talk, if she didn't want to meet, Li Wan didn't force her, It looked like she had completed some mission, and she just came here to sit quietly.
In this way, it will be New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye.
On this day, neither Li Wan nor Tanchun came over, but Wang Xifeng breathed a sigh of relief.Because of the special day today, even if Wang Xifeng is pregnant, she cannot refuse to attend the banquet.After all, she was pregnant, not in labor.Therefore, she dressed properly early, and took Yingchun and Xichun to Rongqing hall together.
In Rongqing hall, the fire dragon is burning vigorously, it seems that it is afraid that it is not warm enough, there are several charcoal basins in the room, and there is a little maid guarding next to each charcoal basin, lest the water will go out without paying attention.
Wang Xifeng hadn't been to Rongqingtang for several days, now that she came here, she felt a little strange here.
It's not that Wang Xifeng is too sensitive, but that there are really many changes in Rongqingtang.The most conspicuous among them is the newly installed screen in the main hall.The original one is the flowers of the four seasons, that is, it is replaced every season. It is majestic and majestic, but it is a little less festive, and it has been left for a long time, which is inevitably a bit boring.What Wang Xifeng saw today was a beautiful picture of a hundred flowers in full bloom and a hundred butterflies piercing the clouds. Not to mention the poetic flavor, at least looking at it, it felt very festive, and it made people happy just by looking at it.
Involuntarily, Wang Xifeng stopped in front of the screen.
The author has something to say:
The stupid author did not procrastinate, it was an air conditioner disease_(:зゝ∠)_
It's just that I feel chilly without the air conditioner, and I can't straighten my fingers, but I feel dizzy and flustered when the air conditioner is turned on.In the end, when I told my mother, she actually said: Bitch is hypocritical!
So this is my mother! QQ
